Hearing what the man said, Ye Wei was stunned, like a stone man, Tom Hanks? 5-time Oscar nominee for Best Actor, 2-time winner, the most valuable star in Hollywood, one of the top three long-term paid screen stars, Cowboy Woody, Forrest Gump! That Tom Hanks! ?
He was so stunned that he even said what he was thinking: "The Tom Hanks who played Forrest Gump?"
"Yes, that Tom Hanks." The man replied, using a Forrest Gump accent!
"Oh, my God!" Ye Wei exclaimed, almost yelling crazily. He quickly endured it, calmed down quickly, and said with a smile: "Hello, hello, Mr. Hanks, I'm a little excited. , please forgive me for being a movie fan, I¡¯m glad to receive your call!¡±
Holy Jesus! Why did Forrest Gump call? How come you have his number? What's your purpose?
Ye Wei's heart rate increased sharply, and he felt as if something good was going to happen to him, but the previous setbacks taught him not to be happy too early, so he calmed down and listened.
"I saw your short film "Dance of Angels" and it was great. I heard that you are looking for opportunities."
Hanks said with a smile: "Actually, I watched it yesterday and wanted to contact you right away, but when I saw the credits at the end saying you were a high school student, I was shocked. I wasn't sure if it was true or a joke. , so I asked Harvard-Westlake about it today and found out that it is true. It is very impressive that you can produce such a work at your age.¡±
Ye Wei had already stood up and walked around the room silently, excitement still rising, "Sir you want to give me a chance?"
"Yes, I think you have the ability to do more, but I still don't know what opportunity you want. Is it to make "Dance of Angels" into a feature film?"
It seemed that A-Gump didn't know the details yet. Ye Wei thought about it and guessed the whole story. He gave Lily and Ramo 20 more DVDs each, asking them to help send one and say a few words of kindness if they met any big shot. Maybe That's it?
A-Gump got the DVD and watched it yesterday. Today he asked Ye Wei whether he existed or the mobile phone number he left behind when he opened the DVD
These thoughts flashed past, and he quickly replied: "Thank you, I really need a chance! It's not a feature film of "Dance of Angels", it's a feature film script called "Little Miss Sunshine", which was not written by me. , a literary comedy story about a family road, it is a top-notch script, so good that the Bruce Willis team believes it has the potential to win an Oscar!¡±
"Oh?" Hanks seemed very interested and asked, "What did you and Willis talk about?"
He and Willis both have their own production companies. If Ye Wei and Willis have a good negotiation, he will not interfere.
"It was a good deal at the beginning, but now, they've gone back on their word."
Ye Wei took a deep breath and suddenly made a decision. He was no longer so cautious. He had to be polite when dealing with big shots, but he also had to be himself! Be Ye Wei!
"They also used some despicable tricks. Today they spread rumors on IMDb to slander me, saying that "Dance of Angels" is not my work! Ridiculous! Sir, my current situation is a mess. In the past two days, I have gone from dreaming to reality to Become a loser, your call makes me feel like I won a billion dollars in Powerball.¡±
"Is this happening?" Hanks seemed a little surprised. He paused and said, "Ye, let's have an interview. Can we do it at noon tomorrow?"
"Of course, sir!" Ye Wei agreed without hesitation, the excitement in his heart was increasing, it's available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!
¡°Well, I will get to know your situation first, and then we will discuss it in detail. Bring your work and the script of "Little Miss Sunshine". I am very interested."
"Okay sir, I know." Ye Wei agreed repeatedly, and heard Hanks say that the location was the "Colander on Main Road" restaurant in Santa Monica, "Okay, see you tomorrow!"
"Don't worry, young man, as long as you are really talented, I won't let you be buried. See you tomorrow."
After the call ended for a long time, Ye Wei was still standing there. This short call brought great hope, and suddenly, he seemed to be surrounded by happiness again!
He rolled his eyes and looked at a movie poster on the wall over there. A middle-aged man in a white suit was sitting on a bench. A brown briefcase was placed at his feet. On the upper right hand side, it read "Tom-Hanks-is -Forrest-Gump¡±¡
The excitement burst out, and he finally couldn't bear it any longer and shouted: "Forrest Gump, Forrest Gump, Forrest Gump, Forrest Gump, Forrest Gump, Forrest Gump!!!"
While shouting, he rushed back and forth, punched the sandbag with Willis's head on it, kicked the football again, turned around and hit the bed and bounced, then swung his feet and danced.Gan taught Elvis how to dance, then stretched out his hand and shouted: "Wilson, Wilson!"
"Hahahaha! I'm holding on to you, I'm holding on to you" He took the football and hugged it tightly, lying down on the floor, "Hahaha, if you jump, I'll jump too"
After a while, Ye Weicai jumped up and was about to tell everyone the good news, but when he held the phone, he stopped again.
No, no one will be told for the time being. If there is any substantial good news, we will tell it before it is too late to avoid making everyone happy again.
But he dialed a number.
"Hey, Lily, our date is going to be canceled tomorrow. Well, an old classmate of mine asked me to hang out. He and I haven't seen each other for a while, so"
"Oh, let's have another day, I'll find someone else to go on a date with - Tristel, haha!"
"Okay, you guys have fun, let's do this first, I have to make some preparations for tomorrow, that guy is a bit difficult to deal with."
"Well, bye."
¡¡
The next morning, seeing that it was almost time, Ye Wei tidied up and prepared to go out.
He has decided to be himself, so he does not pretend to be sophisticated in his clothes. He wears a long-sleeved T-shirt, jeans, sneakers, and a red and black Armani sports coat. Yes, there is the Harvard-Westlake school name and football logo on the back, and a on the front. Lower case S and his name, Ye Wei.
"As long as I don't wear the captain's armband, I am a middle school student and I am the football captain!" And it's not a girly sport!
Looking at the figure in the mirror and brushing his jet-black hair, Ye Wei nodded with firm eyes, dragged up a large suitcase next to him, and set off!
It¡¯s near noon, outside the entrance of the ¡°Colander on Main Street¡± restaurant in Santa Monica.
This is the second time Ye Wei has visited here recently. Last time he impressed the Willis team at the meeting, and they brought him here for dinner. He felt that he had become "one of their own" and was very happy; but this time, With an unexplainable mood, he waited for the unexpected superstar.
He had been paying attention to the suspicious vehicles passing by on the avenue, but something unexpected happened. It was not a luxury car, but a taxi parked on the sidewalk. The door opened, and a tall brown-haired middle-aged man stepped out, wearing a simple light black suit. Casual suit, broad face, honest expression, thick eyebrows, brown eyes and big nose, that Tom Hanks!
real! That call was not a hallucination, Hanks was really here!
Ye Wei took a deep breath, walked up quickly, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Hanks, nice to meet you, I am Ye Wei, call me Wei."
"Wei, it's nice to meet you." Hanks immediately looked at the young man. He was really a teenager, sunny, handsome, energetic, and his first impression was quite favorable. While shaking hands, he smiled and said: "You can just call me Tom. "Dance of Angels" is great. At your age, it's unbelievable."
Ye Wei was naturally very happy to be praised by one of his favorite actors. He smiled and said: "Tom, there are many unbelievable things here, don't be surprised."
"Haha!" Hanks did not resent his confidence and waved his hand in the direction of the restaurant, "Let's chat while having lunch."
"OK, you pay the bill, otherwise I can only order a bottle of water." Ye Wei followed Hanks. Compared with the first time he met Willis at the Ivy Restaurant, he only felt relaxed and comfortable. That's it. Be yourself!
? Superstars and big shots, this is VIY, do you like it? welcome! Don't you appreciate it? Pull down!
"Okay, I'll pay for it, I just hope you can bring me a bigger surprise."
"Me too, Tom. Today's meeting made me truly understand your classic line: Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what the next one will taste like."
