The news that Nicolas Cage is going to guest star in "Wedding Day is Coming" has excited everyone in the team. Whether it is the promotion of the film or the promotion of Ye Wei, it is so eye-catching!
Good things happen one after another, but they are not surprising. In addition to the relationship between Gia Coppola, Cage has always been very friendly with Asians. It is well known that he has collaborated with Chinese director John Woo many times. Earlier this year, he also made friends with a young My Korean girlfriend successfully proposed marriage quickly and plans to get married within the year.
So he is very interested in Ye Wei, a Chinese genius boy, a young man who obviously has great future! This cameo came about due to multiple reasons.
No matter what, in the publicity team, this matter must be coordinated with the promotional video war and work well.
On Saturday, April 3rd, the crew will not work on the weekend. Now it is different from the time of "Dance of Angels". Most of the veterans have families with children. Filming is just a job, and no one can take away their weekend.
With the spring break, Ye Wei hasn't seen his friends for more than ten days. He misses them a lot and goes to school.
Early in the morning, there is a bus stop on the east section of Sunset Boulevard in Brentwood, which is also a stop for the Harvard-Westlake school bus. Lily usually takes the bus to school here. Ye Wei sometimes comes here to be with her, and sometimes takes the bus. Close route to San Vicente Avenue.
Today, Lily was as usual, carrying a light blue Jasper schoolbag, standing next to the stop sign, waiting for the arrival of the school bus.
Also waiting for the school bus at this time were a group of young men and women from different schools. They were laughing and talking about some life gossip and entertainment gossip. Several boys were chatting with her. This was not the first time, but she had never been interested in talking to her. If we can't talk together, what should we talk about?
Shakespeare? The three Bront? sisters? Jane Austen? Or Hemingway? Or a dream? I want to be the youngest talk show host? I want to prove myself? Please!
These people have no such concept at all!
"Can you please stop bothering me?" Lily finally spoke to them, but she was so cruel: "I'm not interested in the stupid things you say at all. That's really not cool."
Several teenage boys looked at each other helplessly, guessing it, it¡¯s like this again!
Suddenly, a white Volkswagen hatchback drove slowly from the south road and stopped at the stop. Laughter came from the car: "Hi, beauty!"
"Wei?" Lily looked at Ye Wei in the driver's seat in surprise, with a smile on her face, "Are you ready to drive?"
¡°My mother finally agreed to give me the keys. She was unwilling to do so at first, but now I¡¯m about to steal my own car.¡±
Ye Wei smiled and patted the passenger seat next to him, "Beauty, get in the car, let's go for a ride!"
Under the attention of the teenagers, Lily walked to the other side of the car, opened the door, sat on the passenger seat, and closed the door. There were comments from boys outside: "This is a very old model.", "A second-hand car? No way!", "Ye, haven't you become a big star? Are you still driving an old car?"
Lily put her schoolbag in the back seat, fastened her seat belt, and said a little excitedly: "Drive, drive, but drive slowly, safety first!"
"Your tone really sounds like my mother, I'm sorry." Ye Wei stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel, drove north, and shouted: "KITT, are there any bad guys doing bad things?"
Lily laughed, looked at the open front, and then looked at the interior of the front of the car. She was pleasantly surprised to find a photo of them at Waikiki Beach posted there, with some colorful shells and other objects placed on it, a sweet memory. Permeated the car.
"From now on, when you drive to school, you will always come to drive me."
"OK." Ye Wei nodded, it's okay now, but it won't be smooth sailing for him to be promoted to high school next school year.
Suddenly, it seemed that the road was a little uneven, and the car bumped a few times, causing the two of them to get up and down. Ye Wei looked at her and joked: "Is this the worst car you have ever been in?"
"I wouldn't say that." Of course Lily is used to riding in luxury cars. She has never ridden in such an old and cheap car a few times since she was a child. However, this second-hand car gave her an unprecedented feeling. Unique feeling
"I would sayit's ours."
When we arrived at the school, this old car naturally did not cause any sensation. Ninth grade students can drive a lot, and there are already bright sports cars in the school parking lot. But this is not the most prestigious. If you have the ability to ride a horse to school, many students have their own horses, so the equestrian discipline in physical education classes has always been very popular.
The hot spots on this affluent campus are different every month. One of the hot spots in April is undoubtedly the first Harvard-Westlake Film Festival, which will be held on April 16 in the high school football theater! Maggie Gyllenhaal and Jake Gyllenhaal?This pair of celebrity alumni will return to school as guests.
Everyone knows that this film festival has long lost its suspense. It must be "Dance of Angels" that tells everyone what a short film is and what genius is!
The gap is too big, and Ye Wei also has another participating work "Good People Are Rewarded"; there is also "Winter Girl" written by him, filmed and produced by Lev and several people, starring Connie, Trieste and Lily, It is also an excellent level among the works of high school students.
"'Are you here to compete for fourth place?' Brother Wei, you must say so when the time comes!"
Lev shouted excitedly, looking at Ye Wei he felt handsome. Sure enough, men and boys are different. After bidding farewell to his virginity, Brother Wei became even more charming.
Everyone is full of expectations, but the latest news is that John Williams did not submit his work to participate, and he backed down! He said that he was busy training with the team last year and had no time to shoot.
Everyone knows the real reason. That guy is no match for VIY. He will only make a fool of himself even more if he goes there. He can also deceive himself by finding a ridiculous reason for quitting.
However, Williams will not be content with being labeled a "loser". He has nothing but family money!
Sunday, April 4th, is the day of this year's "Party Book", one of Harvard-Westlake's two major annual fund-raising events. All parents of the school attended a cocktail party and donated money to the school at the event, which will then use the donations. Build new teaching buildings, add new equipment, etc. to give back to students.
In previous years, just like other student families, the Ye family was enthusiastic about these activities and performed well every time. Although it was not among the top, the amount of donations was far above the average, and there was also the occasional act of generosity - that out-of-print comic.
¡°But given their family¡¯s current economic situation, the expensive tuition is already a huge burden. This donation the budget is 1,500 yuan, which is far lower than the average.
Even so, Ye Wei strongly opposed it and just donated 500 yuan! Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao were very insistent, saying, "We do charity and we are happy."
In fact, Ye Wei knew that they just wanted to make his face look good, because the students would all know who donated how much. The "on-site bidding" part was originally meant to give the rich families a spotlight, and they would only donate if they were happy. many.
That night, the Book Party was held as scheduled at the Loews Hotel on the beach in Santa Monica. The John Williams family was in the limelight that night. Their family was not the richest, but this time they donated a total of two hundred thousand! For the sake of his son's reputation and for his smooth promotion to high school.
Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao, who donated 1,500 yuan, became inconspicuous sidekicks at the reception, but as long as it was a VIY matter, there would be no silence
Before the reception was over, many junior middle school students had already received this text message: "VIY's parents donated 1,500 yuan. They are really great philanthropists, LOL."
"Hahaha!", "He has some talent, but he has nothing in his wallet.", "Isn't anyone eating candy? The dentist who loves bad money donated 1,500?", "I heard about Ye Wei and Lily Collins' spring break. Collins pays for all the travel, and the guy we¡¯re talking about is a pretty boy!¡±¡
Many text messages spread quickly, making Lev and Bud so angry that they wanted to hit someone. However, it was no secret that the brother¡¯s family was facing an economic crisis. The cause and effect were clearly written in newspapers and magazines, and it was all because of that damn liar! But these people actually rub salt into other people's wounds and talk nonsense. How mean!
They couldn¡¯t help but send a counter-text message: ¡°Will talented people be poor all their lives?¡±
"You really know how to do it, Van Gogh."
It¡¯s so annoying! "Then let's see how long VIY will remain poor. Let's not talk about our parents' money. Let's see who has money when they are 18 years old?"
"Why don't you talk about your parents' money? Are you stupid? The wealth of your elders is also part of your own wealth. Poor means poor, and rich means rich."
"Your elders' wealth will be used up by you sooner or later!"
"That's quite difficult. They make too much money. How many second-hand cars do they need to buy before they spend it all? One thousand? Ten thousand?"
¡¡
Ye Weizhen didn't have time to care about these things, but he was not completely angry in his heart. It didn't matter if he said it, don't talk about his parents! Those who don¡¯t understand how hard it is to make money don¡¯t deserve it!
Work hard, as long as "Wedding Day is Coming" performs well, this situation can be changed
In recent days, the exposure has subsided a bit. His performance will not be seen by the world for a few months. Fortunately, his article will be released in a few days.
As early as April 3, Ye Wei handed over a manuscript he had written to the public relations team. As a result, the team did not polish it, and there was nothing wrong with the article. The last word was handed over to the Los Angeles Times without changing it. ¡·.
Is an article good or not?It can be seen, and Leslie was full of praises. She thought it was very well written, interesting and full of technical skills. It showed Ye Wei's professionalism, the sharp writing style of a young man, and some positive aspects. Controversy is an article with a strong personal style that only VIY can write!
In her opinion, the response should be very good, and Brian thinks so too. This is not some diary prose, it is full of maturity and talent beyond his years! As soon as this article comes out, Ye Wei's reputation as a talented scholar will definitely become even louder.
They were looking forward to it, and so were their friends. Even Lily didn't see it in advance. Ye Weifei wanted to keep it mysterious until it was in the newspaper that day, so they could read it.
The "Los Angeles Times" of April 5th started selling and distributing newspapers early in the morning. The movie edition suddenly published an article written by VIY, with a big title that read:
"The death of film"
