Sawyer, you were just a young man when you went out, but when you came back, you were already a star! ¡ª¡ª"42nd Street"
May 27, 2004, Thursday, arrived.
Although the school year is coming to an end, the Harvard-Westlake Junior High School campus is still full of vitality. At 9:25 in the morning, it¡¯s time for daily activities. Students come and go, participating in various club activities.
The utility room on the first floor of the academic center, the headquarters of the Dream-Chasing Alliance, is now crowded with students from all grades. There are more boys than girls. Their shoulders are shoulder to shoulder, with no gaps at all.
Most of them had serious faces, looking at the TV in front of them that was playing DV video. On the screen was their hero Ye Wei. He was sitting in front of the editing table in the film studio and recorded this video, with a tough expression and bright eyes. , the words gradually changed from calm to high-spirited:
"Hey guys, Wedding Day is screening tonight. You probably all know the story. It's not a Dream League movie, it's a movie from my company, Vido Pictures, but that's just legal The truth is, it is full of the power of the Dream Alliance!
It is the "Little Miss Sunshine" project, it is you, it is our youthful enthusiasm, our childish, pure, sincere, and incredible power of dreams!
It has won the opportunity to be remade, so that it can tell the world who it is and who we are with a completely new look!
A long time ago, I told you that I was angry and wanted to do something big! Do something right!
I gave you a choice, whether to be a zombie or a living person, and you chose to truly live! We've all had enough of being ordinary and having enough of his 'you can't do it', and I can tell you now, this is the big deal, this is the right thing to do! We did it! !
You can be happy, but you must keep your anger. This is how we respond to the world: screw it ordinariness, our movie is going to be released!
The screen is too small to accommodate our ambitions, but the screen is too big to allow your and my dreams to run wild!
So, I sincerely invite you, tonight, at 19:30, to go to Beverly Center 13 Cinemas, where we have what we dream of - transcendence! "
Warriors, the call for adventure has been sent to you, I am there, waiting for your arrival! "
Before the DV video had finished playing, the excited shouts of young people could be heard in the utility room, and everyone's blood was boiling, "Yes! I will go!", "Brother Wei, of course!"
¡¡
Today is really a big day. Lawyer Salton has been full of excitement since the morning, making his poker face smile from time to time.
Putting aside success or failure, if a 16-year-old boy can achieve such an achievement, who says he won¡¯t have a bright future? Even his lawyer would be lucky.
He was also invited to attend tonight's screening. He had prepared his clothes a few days ago, a brand new black Armani suit and a red tie with white plaid. It was a bit conspicuous, but he knew he wanted to be conspicuous, Wei Ge said. Well done, this is called charm!
Time flies so slowly, why hasn¡¯t night arrived yet?
There are many people who have this idea, such as one of the investors of Weiduo Image and the middle-aged convenience store owner Mike Schwartz.
Like last time, all investors will be present, but this time it¡¯s really different! Look what the newspapers said, and there's a Nicolas Cage cameo!
¡°Hahaha!¡± When Schwartz thought about this recently, he laughed out loud with joy.
He is a rough guy and doesn¡¯t know anything about film distribution. In his opinion, it is so great, how could "Wedding Day is Coming" not be successful? The 100,000 you invested will make a lot of money, and what¡¯s even more exciting is earning face! Earn it in front of your family, earn it in front of your relatives and friends, earn it in front of any stranger!
They say he has no ability and just spends his life opening a convenience store to make some money selling pornographic magazines and condoms. Look what¡¯s happened now, the movie he invested in has become a phenomenon!
Who said that only Hollywood people can play movies? Who said that a rough country bumpkin like him doesn't have dreams? He was also young and had dreams, and this time he was going to have a taste of realizing his dreams!
"Weige, this kid, I always say he is good, hahaha! This kid is great!"
It¡¯s not just the investors who will attend again, the relatives and friends of the Ye family who were there last time have all received invitations, and they all heard Ye Wei¡¯s words: ¡°No matter what the reason is, we were so disappointed last time. I¡¯m sorry; but this time, I believe it will bring you good memories.¡±
¡¡
After school in the afternoon, although there was still some time before the screening, Lily would not allow herself to make the stupid mistake of the last film festival again. She had to go home quickly, put on makeup and dress, and then rush??13 Cinema, enter early with Trieste, Connie and the others.
At the same time, many people started to take action. How could they wear a T-shirt and board shorts to attend such an occasion? Not even Bud had such an idea! He wants to wear an extra-large casual suit. He can't embarrass Brother Wei!
And Ye Wei, who wants to "walk the red carpet", can't be sloppy, even if he wants to, because his look today was done by the Rachel Zoe team!
There are also Dodo and Anna Sophia. They followed him to Brian's studio. It was like buying one and getting two free, and Zoe's team also took care of it for them.
Accompanying her are Anna¡¯s mother, Janet, and Toto and Bella, who have reunited after a long absence.
Zoe glanced at them and told her men, "Put a bow on each of their necks, in different colors!" As for the melancholy Benji, she said, "Let them go naked!"
When Duoduo heard this, she immediately exclaimed: "No, no, no, mom said the turtle will die without its shell, so you can't knock its shell!"
"That's right, let it wear a tortoise shell, and then use a colored pen to draw VIY on the shell"
Ye Wei's eyes widened when he heard this. Fortunately, Zoe hadn't finished her words yet: "VIY-Sure-Win!" AnnaSofia, who was paying attention to him over there, almost fell down laughing: "Hahahaha!"
The dressing room is filled with a happy and tense atmosphere, and the same atmosphere is also ignited in many places.
"Oh my God, if I wear a formal suit, I won't be able to show my specialness. If I wear Aragorn's armor, I will steal Brother Wei's limelight. Oh my God!" Lev was in agony.
"I want an extra large size!! This is just a large size, unscrupulous merchants, the United States is hopeless!" Bud cursed angrily while trying hard to button up his casual suit jacket, making himself panting from exhaustion. All failed, and I was about to run away when I suddenly remembered the one I wore at the previous dance. Could it be that I have gained weight again?
Chen Nuo slowly put on a gray Tang suit and turned around in front of the mirror. He was quite satisfied. He wanted to see if there was still time and play a game of "Warcraft 3" before setting off
Kerwin did not go home, but went directly from school, wearing a black suit with a Gothic style
"Grandpa, you really don't want to go? At least I will appear in the credits, your only granddaughter's first movie!"
Gia had already finished her look, so she just tidied it up a few times and put on a black semi-evening dress. It looked unsightly and uncomfortable. She was really asking for trouble. Women are really troublesome!
Anyway, she still hopes that her grandpa can come with her to support her, as it will promote "Wedding Day is Coming".
"I won't get too involved in young people's affairs. I'll just watch DVDs at home." Coppola said cheerfully. The DVD treasure house at home already had an internal gift DVD of "Wedding Day is Coming". He agreed " "Watch simultaneously".
"Okay." Gia looked at her phone. On it was a text message from her cousin, "Master Gia, can you leave?" She called and said, "Okay, come and pick me up!"
¡¡
Although the big shots were not present to support, they were all paying close attention to this matter.
Hanks and Spielberg, who are optimistic about Ye Wei and will invest in it, Lucas, who is very interested in young hero stories, Costner, who praised Ye Wei in the media, and Li, who has had a phone call and known each other before. An, Wang Ying, who is looking forward to the emergence of the Chinese light
Some Harvard-Westlake alumni in the film industry, especially the Gyllenhaal siblings who became friends with Ye Wei.
Of course, there is also the team behind the scenes that created Ye Wei, Brian, Leslie, and Goetzman. They all have investments in Ye Wei! And now Ye Wei has become the key to their showdown with the Lovett camp. If Ye Wei wins, they win. If Ye Wei loses, they lose.
This will directly affect their power in the circle. Power is a very subtle thing that cannot be touched or seen through. One part is called "others' trust in you".
Whether they have a very accurate vision or are extremely stupid depends on this gambling game in which they unknowingly invested huge amounts of chips. Yes, a gambling game!
Ye Wei¡¯s success or failure will also affect many people who are not in the duel, such as Michael Arndt, Peter Heller, Sean Maurer and others
For example, Phil Collins and Jill Towerman, both of them are paying close attention to their daughters. They have very complicated emotions. If the boy fails, Lily will be sad. If the boy succeeds, Lily will have new worries. Alas!
¡¡
"Old man, don't say I didn't know you, I'm going to attend the screening of "The Wedding Is Coming"."
"What!? Whywhy are you doing this, Ramo, I have nothing to do with you. I have always bought you whatever you say you want to buy. I will give you whatever you want. Now you For that damn thingYou overachieving boy has been pissing me off all day long! ! you¡¡"
"It's almost time, I have to go, bye."
¡°Ramo, Ramo!!!¡±
¡¡
"Our movie is released! Our movie is released again!"
In the evening, in a black limousine driving on the road, Duoduo clapped and sang something joyfully, with a smile on her plump face. Apart from being a little older, she was no different from half a year ago. Parting, still so innocent.
There were many people sitting in the spacious carriage, and there was a lot of cheerful laughter.
At this time, Ye Haogen also shouted happily like he did half a year ago: "We are movie tycoons!" Gu Qiao also rarely laughed and shouted: "Movie tycoons!"
"Woof!" Toto barked cleverly, causing Bella to bark a few times, and their tails waggled vigorously. Over there, Anna was waving her fists and shouting some kind of prayer: "Earth, Earth, Earth, listen to me, all good luck, good luck, good luck come here! Thank God!"
Ye Wei smiled quietly and watched them making trouble. Everything seemed to be back to the day when "The Wedding is Coming" was released last year. The difference is that now it is full of hope!
¡¡
Under the night sky, the destination of many vehicles is the Beverly Center, the cars of media reporters, the cars of film critics, the cars of audiences
¡¡
On the TV screen, the young face was full of determination, and the words were full of excitement:
"Guys, some people say that life is a cruel competition of nature. The weak are eaten until nothing is left, and only the strong can survive. Really? False? I don't care! Even in the face of thousands of troops Horses, we are all fearless!
Courage gives us armor, hard work gives us weapons, and dreams give us white horses!
Tonight, we embrace our dreams! Tonight, we will fight to the death!
In this battle, whether we win or lose, live or die, we will all be on a vast grassland, wearing shining armor, holding sharp weapons, and riding strong horses. We will move forward, GO, GO, GO! "
