The banquet hall was bustling with guests from all walks of life walking around casually, laughing and chatting in twos and threes, forming a buzzing voice. Celebrity guests are naturally the most popular conversation partners, and several adults and celebrities are surrounded by many people.
But in a corner of the banquet hall outside the bustle, Ye Wei was drinking a glass of cold juice and looking at an unknown oil painting on the wall, not wanting to participate in the social interaction.
He is not a person who doesn't know how to communicate or doesn't like to socialize. Last time in almost the same banquet hall, he shocked the whole audience with his words. But he was really not in the mood today. In fact, he didn't want to come at all.
"Hello, you are Ye Wei, Lily's boyfriend, right? I am Lily's friend." Suddenly a girl's voice sounded from behind.
Ye Wei turned around and saw a brown-haired white girl, wearing a smart black jumpsuit and a knee-length skirt, holding a glass of juice, with two slender eyebrows and pursed lips, showing no expression. He seems a little tired. Look more clearly. He just has this kind of temperament.
He thought about it, oh, "Maddie" Kristen Stewart in "The Kid".
I also remembered that I had seen a public service advertisement of hers on TV about preventing and treating sexual assault on campus, so CDF must have invited her as well.
"I know you, Kristen Stewart. Nice to meet you." Ye Wei nodded towards her and added: "Lily doesn't like to call our relationship boyfriend and girlfriend. She likes to call it a stable long-term date, but whatever. , they are boyfriend and girlfriend.¡±
"She didn't tell me this." Kristen still had no expression and looked at Ye Wei a few times, "Listen to her, do you have any opinions on my performance?"
Ye Wei shrugged, "Don't worry, I have watched your performances in "Thriller Space" and "Little Ghost Thief". I think you control your girlishness very well. When to be gentle and when to be tough, you It¡¯s great to have your own interpretation and interpretation, and you¡¯re creating the character rather than just putting yourself out there.¡±
Kristine was slightly startled. She probably didn¡¯t expect to hear such a compliment from him. She said, ¡°That¡¯s not what Lily said.¡±
"I don't know." Ye Weina still remembers what he commented to Lily. Maybe he only talked about the shortcomings. You can't praise one girl in front of another.
"She said you thought my expression was dull."
¡°That¡¯s like what I said, some scenes would be better with more expressions.¡±
¡°But I didn¡¯t feel NG on the set.¡±
Hearing what she said, Ye Wei couldn't help but think that this guy was really a thorn in the side. She was clearly saying that even David Fincher thought it was good, but you didn't think it was good. Isn't that funny? Although he was not in the mood, it didn't mean that he would be talked down by a 14-year-old girl. He then said: "But I haven't seen you get an Oscar nomination."
"Haha." Christine immediately grinned and smiled because she couldn't refute, "Haha."
"That's it." Ye Wei took a sip of juice, his fighting power was really weak.
After a while, he didn¡¯t say anything, and Kristine didn¡¯t say anything either, but they didn¡¯t walk away. They both looked at the lively crowd not far away. After another long while, she suddenly said: "Looking at your interviews and articles, I really don't see that you are a person who doesn't like to talk."
"No, my mouth is injured." Ye Wei rambled casually, feeling like he was back to his old VIY self, casually speaking venomously: "It hurts a little to talk to you, like some sort of punishment."
"Haha." Kristen was not angry. Instead, her tiredness was getting lighter, and her eyes were full of interest. "I have seen your short film. It was very good. You have such directorial talent at such a young age. I am really impressed. I'm a little surprised, Lily said it before, I didn't believe it."
"Thank you." Ye Wei smiled. Since the other party showed kindness, he would not continue to attack stingily, but would still talk casually: "Do you know the 'cocktail party effect'?"
"have no idea."
"It refers to a person's auditory selection ability. Can you hear what I say? But if you listen to the surroundings, how loud the voices are and how many people are talking at the same time. Why can't you hear the background sound, but you can hear it clearly? This track? This is the cocktail party effect, which can be achieved when we focus on a certain sound."
"Then what do you want to say?" Kristen rarely asked others like this, and this time she really didn't understand what the other person meant.
Ye Wei spread his hands: "A piece of scientific knowledge, the cocktail party effect. Do you need me to repeat it?"
"No need." She looked at him and said a little nonsensically: "You are very CULT."
"Speaking of CULT, I think of "The Dinner Game". Maybe we are participating in such a game now, being fooled and laughed at by someone who doesn't know who."
Ye Wei glanced at the brightly dressed people in front of him who were laughing and chatting."I'm not saying that charity is bad, but how many people are here for a show, including me, I didn't want to come but came. Look how happy they are, as if they are saying, 'Thank God for giving us a group of unfortunate children. , so that we can do charity and hold a party. '"
Kristen raised her lips and smiled again, appreciating these words, "I don't want to attend either, and I don't plan to attend anymore. It's boring."
"Human beings are very good at choosing to listen to what they want to hear. People choose to hear good things about the Charity Cocktail Party, but not hear bad things."
"So this is what you want to say."
"Maybe, maybe not."
At this time, both of them looked at Jeremy Sumpter walking over with a smile on his face, which simply fulfilled what he just said.
"Hey!" Sumpter greeted the two with a smile and introduced himself. He kept looking at Kristen and said enthusiastically that he had watched her movie: "You did a great job, great! Very beautiful performance, I like it very much. ¡±
¡°Yours is not bad either.¡± Christine replied.
Currently, Sumpter is much more well-known than Christine. "Peter Pan" was a box office failure, but "The Kid", which cost 12 million to produce and only received 16.7 million at the North American box office, is not much better. They are both in the ranks of losing money.
But despite this, Kristen's star is still brighter than him. She has two independent films "Silence No More" (lead role) and "Undertow" (supporting role) to be released this year, and the just-finished "Love Forever" (supporting role), and (protagonist) in the sci-fi blockbuster "Jumanji 2" which started shooting in August. And Sumpter just went to film a TV series.
So Sumpter talked to her as if he were talking to the president's daughter, and kept flashing his eyes. As for the Asian guy next to him, he had heard a little bit about it, but when he thought about it before, he knew what a movie genius he was. What's going on.
"I haven't asked yet, who are you?" Seeing that this guy was still blocking his way, he asked as if he didn't know each other, "You and Christine?"
"I'm Ye Wei, we just met." Ye Wei replied.
That¡¯s ok, Sumpter has done some research. Kristen Stewart¡¯s date is Michael Angarano. He doesn¡¯t have anything to do with this genius, so he can put it to good use.
He immediately looked apologetic and said: "I'm so sorry just now. I didn't expect to enter the venue with you. I didn't mean to. Those reporters are like this, sometimes they are very annoying."
"It's nothing." Ye Wei said. He was not a fool. Naturally, he could see that Sumpter was being hypocritical. He seemed to be apologizing, but in fact it was more like showing off.
"What's going on?" Christine became interested.
"It's all my fault." Sumpter sighed, drank the drink in his hand, and talked about the scene-stealing incident that happened before, with a critical tone: "I even saw Ye, I should have stopped. , it¡¯s just that I thought Anyway, I¡¯m sorry, Ye, I¡¯ll pay more attention next time, by the way, are you an actor too?¡±
¡°It doesn¡¯t really count, my full-time job is director.¡±
"Director?" Sumpter couldn't help but laugh when he heard that the other party was so proud of himself. He looked at Christine with a funny smile on his face, "What director?"
If you want to pick up girls, you have to act cool, and one way to act cool is to tease a ridiculous and pitiful clown in front of girls. In his case, "genius" Ye Wei is that clown.
"Movie director." Ye Wei said to himself. He could already see the other party's tricks and really had no interest in talking to him. "Excuse me, you guys can chat."
"Wait!" Sumpter didn't let him leave, with a look of surprise and amusement on his face. He made a camera movement with his hands and asked: "You are about the same age as us, and you are already a director. , It¡¯s amazing. I just want to know what works you took. I¡¯ll go back and take a look.¡±
Ye Wei replied with a shrug: "A short film "Dance of Angels" and a remake of a feature film called "The Wedding is Coming", the latter has not been released yet."
"Released? You mean, it will be released in theaters?!" Sumpter was startled again, "Wow! What schedule? How many opening theaters? What theater chain?"
He tried his best to tease her, but Kristen had no expression. I really don¡¯t know if it had any effect.
"Yes, none of the things you asked about have been confirmed yet, but it will be released in theaters."
"Really? That's great. How much box office do you expect?" Sumpter continued to ask, shaking his head like a big brother and sighing: "I tell you, the box office thing is very annoying, and you have to watch it again. On the weekend, I have to watch it for another week. After it is released, I have to keep an eye on the latest rankings But you should not feel this pressure.Power, that¡¯s pretty good. I didn¡¯t have any expectations at the beginning, but I wasn¡¯t disappointed. "
Ye Wei¡¯s eyes narrowed. Does this kid think that just because he played Peter Pan and is famous, he can humiliate others casually? What a pity, I'm not the kind of weakling who highlights your brilliance and prowess. He laughed and said slowly: "Speaking of box office, it's a pity that "Peter Pan" in which you starred was such a disaster. I didn't even dare to open the rankings to see it.
Do you know why? Why aren't audiences watching it? Because they just can't accept your piece of shit playing Peter Pan. "
After saying that, he strode towards the crowd in front.
Sumpter froze on the spot, and as soon as he reacted, his face was full of anger, "Oh really, how could he curse! I'm already sorry, I didn't mean any harm, but he actually cursed!" He looked at Christine, " That guy is so rude!¡±
"But he's right." Kristen raised the juice in her hand and walked to the other side.
