- Under the bright night, bright streetlights reflected rays of light. Crowds surged in front of the football theater on the campus of Harvard-Westlake High School. Students from our school and other schools, as well as some parents, crowded at the door, while several staff members were waiting at the door. Maintain order.
Lily knew something was wrong as soon as she saw this formation. Her eyes widened. There were at least a hundred people crowded here!
"Thank you all for your enthusiasm, but it is a pity that the theater is already full. Unless an audience leaves the theater early, you cannot enter. You can register your name with me and queue up, come one by one."
The middle-aged female teacher who served as the doorman said, and the crowd suddenly let out a helpless and dissatisfied sound, and then most of the people left, including those who had sent their entire families.
The hundreds of people inside came so early and were obviously ready to watch the whole show. They would probably leave early only if there was a fire at home. Who knows how long it will take?
Many people left, but dozens of people remained, including Lily.
She stepped forward to register, looked at the female teacher, frowned and wanted to say something, what could she say? Am I a Harvard-Westlake student? There are so many here! I have many friends in the theater. I am Ye Wei¡¯s good friend!
I still have a little impulse to be the kind of person I despise. I am the daughter of a rock star. My family has donated a lot of money to the school. You should let me in!
But in the end she just said: "I want to register, Lily Collins."
"Okay, you are in the 45th position." The female teacher wrote something on the form in her hand, "If it is your turn, we will call you."
The forty-fifth one! Lily almost fainted. Could it be that she couldn't go in tonight? You've been waiting for so long, and now you have to miss it completely like this? Crazy, crazy!
Her heart suddenly felt dull and aching, and she looked at the theater door where the light came through. She grabbed the pink Chanel handbag with all her strength, pouted and walked aside. She must blame herself for wearing makeup for too long. Madeleine is also a bastard. Coming in 15 minutes early makes a difference
While thinking about it, she replied to Trieste's text message: "I can't get in outside, so I have to wait in line for a vacant seat Don't tell anyone! Especially Yui!"
Trieste¡¯s shocked text message soon arrived: ¡°!!!What should I do?¡±
"I don't know, wait, hope for good luck, but do you think I will have it today?"
"How about I give up my seat to you? This film festival has special meaning to you, I'm just joining in the fun."
"Don't do anything stupid. Even if you quit, you will only be advantageous to the person in the first place. I am in the forty-fifth place"
Suddenly, Lily received a text message from Ye Wei, "Where are you sitting? I'll look back." The producers were sitting in the front, but he was sitting in the first row. He didn't know her situation yet. She puffed up her cheeks, exhaled, and replied: "Very far behind, very far behind"
The students who were waiting around were chatting in twos and threes. They were from schools outside our school. This was an opportunity to make friends.
Lily walked by and heard several girls nearby talking: "I'm from Acha Girls' School, and I came here just to see VIY.", "Me too, I really envy the people in the theater."
There were several boys over there who were looking around and discussing in secret which beautiful girl was hotter. Naturally, they all noticed the rich girl with thick eyebrows. She was wearing a white and blue knee-length dress and was holding a handbag. All of them were famous brands, typical. of Harvard-Westlake women.
Wearing light makeup and a pair of small earrings, she combines elegance, sweetness and heroic spirit. Her slightly depressed expression is even more touching, and it¡¯s a good time to strike up a conversation!
Before they could take action, they saw a tall and handsome blond boy who looked like a basketball captain walking up. Damn it, he beat me to it!
"Hi, what's your rank? I'm number thirty-seven." The boy followed Lily, with a charming smile that was sure to kill him if he struck up a conversation. His light green eyes were electric, and his voice was magnetic: "My name is David Kurtz, eleventh grader at Beverly High School, nice to meet you."
Lily¡¯s eyes continued to look at the phone screen, sending a text message, and replied casually: ¡°Welcome to Harvard-Westlake, I¡¯m in a bad mood, I want to be alone.¡±
"What's your name?" David Kurtz kept a charming smile. Arrogant girls are more interesting.
"I don't want to tell you."
"You also like movies, don't you? I'm a movie fan." David Kurtz followed her and said in a familiar voice: "Which movie do you like? Which actor? "Harry Potter" How about it? I think you are more beautiful than Emma Watson."
"Do you like movies?" Lily suddenly glanced at him, and Kurtz nodded vigorously: "Movie fan, I am related to movies.All interested. Lily laughed and said, "Then why are you outside?" "
Kurtz was stunned: "Because it's full"
"I mean, why aren't you one of the participating producers at the film festival? They are all sitting in the front seats. My BOY! Ye Wei, he even asked the film festival to set up a forum for him. A special award named after him, the remake of a movie he just finished yesterday, that¡¯s a movie fan.¡±
"Uhare you, Ye Wei's girlfriend?" Kurtz's expression changed drastically. Even though he was a veteran in picking up girls, he was a little embarrassed at this moment. It was really not a good idea to chat up her with a movie.
Lily didn¡¯t answer, turned around and walked away quickly. She couldn¡¯t just wait for luck to come, she had to think of a way
¡¡
In the rugby theater, there is a big screen and a small stage in front, and the 340 seats below are all occupied. Of course, HW students account for the majority, and there are also many foreign students in the audience. In the front row are nearly 90 young producers who are basically present.
Lev sat in the second row, while Ye Wei sat in the middle area of ??the first row. Not far away were Yale ladies, school leaders, consultants and judges. Next to them were the guests Gyllenhaal and his brother: 26-year-old Ma Kat, 23-year-old Jack.
In the evening, everyone had already met each other and took a group photo. These two celebrity alumni gave him the impression that they were easy-going, and because they were all young people, they could chat with each other. As he wished, he also asked Jack to get Ang Lee's personal number, and planned to call him again when he had time to get to know his idol.
After sending several text messages to Lily, he looked back several times, but he really couldn¡¯t see where she was. The eldest lady didn¡¯t have a VIP seat, but he did, hehe!
"Jack, sometimes movies can really bring you a lot, like a VIP seat." Ye Wei said with emotion, "A friend of mine can only sit on the top of the mountain, but she is the most HW kind of student."
"Haha." Jake Gyllenhaal showed his signature gentle smile.
"Her? Girlfriend?" Maggie, who was sitting a seat away, gossiped and joked, "Weige, you lied to the media, right? I know the girls here, and they won't let you go."
"The atmosphere has changed. Now the old principal is strict about love. You know he is always everywhere."
While talking and laughing, it gradually arrived at 19:30, and it was time for the opening of the film festival!
The sound effect of the prompt sounded, the whole place fell silent, and the promotional video of the HW Film Festival was played on the big screen.
Amidst the soft music, there are frames of film showing the seventh-grade ID photos of HW students. They are all later filmmakers, including Jessica Capshaw, Aida Field, and Jason Reitman. , Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jake Gyllenhaal
Looking at this image, the producers couldn¡¯t help but be very excited, feeling like they had touched a bright future!
Especially students from our school, such as Chris Groban, Natalie Shapiro, Sam Burquist, etc., their works have been shortlisted for the evening display, which means they are very likely to win an award. Everyone knows about the "Ye Wei Award", which gives them hope of winning the award again.
After the one-minute promotional video, Elizabeth Yale walked out of the left aisle of the small stage with a smile on her face. The audience burst into warm applause for this thirty-year-old founder of the film festival!
Bud, Chen Nuo and Kerwin were sitting in the row behind the producers, the best seats in the audience. They were clapping excitedly. Gia laughed a few times; Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao, who were further away, came to cheer for their families. He and Duoduo were also applauding happily; and almost all the audience!
In a seat at the back of the middle, Connie clapped her hands excitedly, and Trieste quietly gave Lily a "text live broadcast": "Ms. Yale has come out, the opening ceremony has begun."
¡°Harvard-Westlake, welcome to our first film festival.¡±
Yale came to the middle of the stage and stood, holding a wireless microphone, and said the opening speech to everyone with a smile: "When I was a teenager, I had a great love for movies. I also tried to make some Super 8 short films, but they Didn't get a chance to show off.
Since then, I have always hoped for a film festival like this, a film festival for us high school students with the dream and enthusiasm of making movies, where our works can be displayed, evaluated by professionals, and we can communicate together. Our film dream, this is the driving force behind my creation of the Harvard-Westlake Film Festival.
When I proposed this idea to the school last year, the school was very supportive of making my idea a reality, and then I received strong support from all parties. I have two excellent consultants, Shelly Gaulke and Ted Wall. Erke also invited a top team of professional judges, they are Jon Avenay, Kevin CostnerThank them! "
There was another burst of applause in the theater. Today, all four judges were present, allowing the audience of the small theater to applaud.The light was shining, and they were smiling happily.
"In the first session, we received a large number of works. Tonight we will screen some of the outstanding works, and all the works will be displayed during the festival. We will also award major awards and have guests give speeches. , so let¡¯s get started! Next, let¡¯s invite this year¡¯s opening film: ¡°Good People Are Rewarded.¡±
Amid warm applause, Yale walked off the stage, and the image on the big screen showing the film festival¡¯s logo changed¡ª¡ª
""Good Guys Are Rewarded" is being screened." Triste texted.
Outside the theater, Lily knew it without telling her friends because she heard bursts of applause! This made her more and more anxious, no, I can't miss it like this!
¡°Perhaps out of desperation, she suddenly thought that the theater has a fire escape and a back door
The cheerful music of Haffner¡¯s Serenade in D major sounded in the theater, and a clear DV image appeared on the big screen.
"Hahahaha!" When the first scene came out, the whole audience burst into laughter. Some viewers even staggered with laughter. The big-nosed heroine dressed as a woman was so funny! He also flipped up a low-quality housewife wig, so MEAN!
At the dinner table, the hero Ye Wei helplessly spread his hands and said something. The heroine Lev suddenly looked angry. He crossed his hands across his chest and turned his head away. He suddenly took off a wedding ring on his middle finger and threw it at him - ¡ª
Gia¡¯s eyes were unblinking, not wanting to miss a single frame. Maybe that frame was a flash of naked bodies or sexual organs? Like in Scorpio Rising.
After watching for half a minute, she still found nothing, but she discovered another thing. The abominable VIY had deceived her! Is this called simple lens use?
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? A close-up shot of the hero taking off her ring, and the other two shots from the side are simple, but in the works of high school students! How else would you shoot if you don¡¯t shoot like this?
No wonder he would spill the beans and say, ¡°You don¡¯t need an ax to break eggs,¡± because this is a sharp blade! Enough to stab her to death! Genius asshole! FUCK!
At the same time, the producers all stared in surprise, VIY is VIY
This work is in competition for awards!
Whether it was Chris Groban of our school or Floyd Ross of Culver City High School, they suddenly felt a little depressed. Even if "Dance of Angels" does not compete, how can it win the best picture and best director? Chance? Look at this smooth and natural shot, just the right soundtrack
In the big screen, on the empty street, the other party refused to answer the call. Ye Wei angrily kicked a can on the ground, but it missed the ball and fell down. His posture was ugly.
"Hahaha!" The whole audience roared with laughter again, and the HW junior high school students were even more happy. VIY, the football captain with superb footwork, could kick a can without missing a beat!
Gia was about to laugh but she choked, with a strange expression on her face, as if someone had strangled her neck!
Damn genius, damn essential shot, this bitch actually chose to shoot the can from a low angle, with the broken can in the foreground, and the blurry back of him lying on the street, damn it! This composition was so great that she couldn¡¯t quite explain it, but she knew it was great!
From the front row seat, Kevin Costner smiled and nodded in approval. This is why this is an excellent work. This is why.
Not much can be said in 3 minutes, but Ye Wei really said something. Like this shot, the can almost filled the entire frame, it was extremely clear, standing there like a big mountain, while Ye Wei who fell was blurry and blurry. Weak, this is a very interesting composition.
It is clearly saying that a can may seem the humblest, but in fact it can be as heavy as a mountain. If humans do not treat this mountain well and do not pay attention to it, they will inevitably pay the price. In the face of cans (environmental protection), humans are humble and insignificant existences. .
The so-called director is to use the language of the lens to tell stories and speak his own words, and this is the language of the lens. This shot alone sublimates "Good People Have Good Rewards".
Tonight, except for "Dance of Angels", the quality of the shots in other films cannot match it. Not to mention that its structure is simple yet ingenious, its story brief yet complete, its acting austere yet precise, its cinematography steady yet dynamic, and its near-perfect editing and soundtrack.
The combination of these makes it stand among the top high school students' works.
The Oscar-winning director thinks so, and Jon Avnet and others also think so. The works of high school students always have a pure emotion, which is the charm of youth, and therefore often lack deeper metaphors. Ye Wei put it Did both.
If "Dance of Angels" is a flower where everything is setA rose that is realized professionally, sincerely and perfectly; "Good people get rewarded" is a simple but sparkling jasmine flower.
However, not many people in the audience could notice and appreciate these flashes of light. They just found it amusing.
In fact, even Ye Wei himself didn¡¯t think so deeply when he was filming. He just thought it should be shot like this. The can turned into Godzilla, giving it a feeling of duel. It looks really good now! This is called "subconscious creation". The subconscious mind thinks a lot before coming up with a conscious idea. Even you don't know it, thinking it is just "inspiration".
The image on the big screen continued. Ye Wei got up and wanted to kick again, but his right foot stopped in the air and the music stopped. After a few seconds, he changed his mind and stepped forward to pick up the can and put it into the can not far ahead. garbage can.
This is not over yet! Suddenly a large team of film crews rushed out from the street corner, and the theater was filled with laughter again. The fat host was wearing a suit and beach shorts, and everyone else was wearing a variety of costumes that looked serious but were actually funny, like it was Halloween. , a bunch of freaks!
"Haha, they are so funny!" Connie and Trisit were also laughing. They were not so funny when they watched it in the Dream League last year. It turned out that the atmosphere was missing.
Looking at the laughing people around her, Trieste sent another text message to Lily: "Wei is right, "Good Men Are Rewarded" has made everyone crazy. It's a pity that you can't see it."
¡¡
Trieste, do you know that this text message of yours is so mean!
Lily angrily quickened her pace and came to a side door of the theater. There was also a middle-aged male teacher guarding there. She pretended not to see it and went straight in.
"Sorry, little lady, this is the staff passage, you can't go in." The teacher blocked the door.
"I am an eighth-grade student at Harvard-Westlake, and this is my ID!" Lily had no choice but to take out the ID card from her handbag and show it to the other party, and said sincerely: "I promise I will stay quiet and not disturb anyone. I'll just stand in the aisle and watch. Let me go in, okay?
The teacher looked at the ID, but still shook his head: "For security reasons, I'm sorry"
"Oh." Lily put the ID back in her handbag, suddenly raised her eyebrows, a thought came to her mind, and she rushed in, no matter what, I want to see it, I want to see it!
"Hey!!" the middle-aged teacher exclaimed, "You can't do this, hey!!"
¡¡
On the big screen, Ye Wei and Lev, who was dressed as a woman, hugged each other in a friendly manner on the street, then turned away and walked away, and the camera gradually zoomed out.
Then came the scrolling credits of the set. Director, screenwriter, producer, score, editor: Ye Wei, cinematographer: Kerwin Leiter, actors: Ye Wei, Lev Bobil, Chen Nuo, Bader. -Mazur¡
"Awesome!", "Hoo hoo!!" The theater suddenly burst into applause. HW students cheered and even whistled, which was against school rules, but they were so enthusiastic! Did you see it, foreign students, this is VIY! Our VIY!
Jia couldn't help but raised her head and shouted: "Ye Wei, why are you so powerful!"
"VIY, VIY, VIY!" From different positions, all the boys in the Dream Chaser League, including Lev and Bud, shouted in unison¡ª¡ª
Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao were proud and happy, and they both shouted with laughter: "VIY is my brother!"
The young producers have no choice but to be convinced that "Good Guys Are Rewarded" is worthy of being the opening film!
Floyd Ross couldn't help but sigh. Before tonight, he thought that his "Just So" was 19 minutes long. Even if nothing could compare to "Dance of Angels", at least it won in terms of duration But it was really just self-consolation. That¡¯s all, someone told a wonderful story in 3 minutes, hey!
There are also Herman Montenegro from Santa Monica High School and Damoris Orozco from Roosevelt High School They are both applauding and lamenting that the gap between themselves and VIY from "Angel Dance" is like the distance between planets and The gap between Star and VIY in "Good Men Are Rewarded" is like that of the moon and the earth.
"Weige, the filming is great." Maggie and Jack also praised it repeatedly, "This work is great.", "Amazing."
"Thank you, thank you." Seeing the warm atmosphere in the audience and listening to the applause, Ye Wei was naturally very happy and a little touched. My family and friends, thank you!
The thunderous applause lasted until the end of the subtitles, and the quiet sound effect sounded for a few times before everyone gradually became quiet.
The big screen also continued to show the next film, and the subtitles read ""Dream Weaver," directed by Patrick Wall, Harvard-Westlake School." After the 1:16 short film was played, the subtitles appeared again : "The Last Trick, directed by Micah Levine, Cross School of Science and Arts."
After the 4:55 short film was broadcast, under the auspices of Ms. Yale, it won the Best Visual Effects Award at this film festival.
Amid warm applause and some very light boos, Micah Levine happily walked onto the stage, received a golden trophy, and made a speech.
This also makes the hearts of young producers beat loudly. Under VIY¡¯s reign of terror, others can really win awards!
Next, Harvard-Westlake¡¯s Natalie Shapiro¡¯s ¡°Birthday Balloon¡± was screened.
¡¡
After Lily rushed into the theater, she ran all the way, chasing from one teacher to several teachers. They shouted anxiously and tried to stop her.
Although she is a student of this school and does not appear to be a threat, there are some things she is afraid of. What if she has a pistol hidden in her bag and is planning to commit a school shooting? So they must catch her.
But Lily didn't want to be thrown out. When she ran to an unknown aisle, she looked back and saw that there was no one there. Just as she was about to exhale, the teachers suddenly chased her out from the corner: "Girl, stop!", "You will Punished by the school!¡±
"I really don't mean any harm!" She ran around in a panic again, and she was punished as she was punished. I want to watch the film festival!
"Wait a minute, that's the stage over there!"
There were screams from behind, and Lily couldn't stop anymore and rushed out of an aisle door hung with a red curtain
¡°Oh!¡±, ¡°Ah!?¡±, ¡°Who is that?
In the screening hall, the audience exclaimed when they saw a girl in white suddenly rush out from the right side of the stage. She seemed to have rushed for a while before she realized what was going on. She turned her head stiffly and looked ahead, with a face full of surprise!
Lily! Ye Wei's eyes widened, how could she? Isn't she sitting in the back What's wrong! ?
The old president, the Yale ladies, the judges, the Gyllenhaal siblings, the young producers everyone was stunned for a moment, and the image on the big screen stopped at the right time.
What's going on? !
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Triest covered her face and covered her eyes. No matter how it happened, this was a disaster!
"Hi, everyone" Lily was also dumbfounded and instinctively waved her hands to greet everyone, "I am I am Lily"
