Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the reception room of Brian's studio, Ye Wei saw the weird black scavenger George, who looked like he was in his fifties and had a white beard, which accentuated his dark skin.

    "Hello, Mr. Ye." The old black man got up from the sofa and greeted him. Today he was wearing his most appropriate dark blue casual suit, old but clean. When he saw this young big shot, he grinned.  Showing a small piece of white front teeth missing.

    "Hello." Ye Wei shook hands and asked with a smile: "What did you pick up from me?"

    "There." The old black man pointed to a small box on the sofa and said in a hoarse voice: "Yesterday I was picking up garbage and saw a very new cardboard box, so I opened it to see what was inside. I saw your photo and I recognized it.  You, I read your news in the newspaper. These things should be worth some money. I originally wanted to sell them to the media, but I didn¡¯t know if it was a crime. So I asked people how to contact you. It¡¯s best to let you  After buying it back, someone told me to contact the brokerage company"

    Listening to this, Ye Wei walked over doubtfully, looked into the carton, and saw a bedside photo frame, a photo of the two of them, at Waikiki Beach in Hawaii, he and Lily were holding hands and laughing

    He was stunned for a moment, his face was changing, and he couldn't hear the other person's words clearly. After a long time, he asked: "You mean, you picked up this photo frame in the garbage dump?"

    "Shore-Canning Junkyard, a big box full of things. I only brought a few items. If you want to buy them back, I will sell them all to you." The old black man said.

    Ye Wei silently rummaged through the box, picked up a lily brooch and turned it a few times, his breath gradually becoming messy and heavy

    "Huh" he let out a long breath with glare, made a weird expression, threw the brooch back, and nodded: "I want to buy it, how much do you want it to cost?"

    "66 US dollars." The old black man quoted a price and felt it was worth the money. However, seeing Ye Wei in a daze, wondering if he was hesitating, he quickly changed his words: "406 US dollars?"

    "No, brother, I bought it for $66." Ye Wei said, "But you can't miss any one thing. These things have some meaning to me."

    The old black man said happily: "Okay, I haven't touched the box, I just took the top few items to show you."

    "That's good." Ye Wei sat down on the sofa, not immersed in his thoughts, and looked at the scavenger. He felt that he was not a bad person. He did not sell it directly to the media, and the price was low. He was not stupid, and he knew how to contact him.  He's not lazy, there are too many lazy people living on food stamps, and the scavengers are not lazy at all.

    He asked: "George, can you tell me your story?"

    "My story?" The old black man was startled for a moment, then spoke excitedly. No big shot had ever spoken to him like this.

    George Morris is fifty-six years old. He grew up in a slum in the city center. He doesn¡¯t want to join a gang and is uneducated. He has worked in any low-level occupation for decades, such as waiting, washing cars, repairing cars, and scavenging He is young.  He experienced a failed marriage at that time, had no children, and no family. After losing his job in a laundry a few years ago, he started working as a ragpicker again. His home was his old little truck.

    After Ye Wei heard this, he felt that this person was quite honest, not bragging, and didn't seem to have any bad habits, so he said, "I am recruiting a driver and personal assistant, are you interested?"

    He is getting busier and busier now. Many times he doesn¡¯t want to drive by himself so that he can work in the car. Moreover, sometimes he really needs an assistant to improve efficiency when he wants to do something that does not involve work, such as buying a newspaper or buying a mobile phone.  box lunch.  He thought George was good and wanted to give him a chance.

    "Really?" The old black man was greatly surprised, "A job?" Ye Wei nodded and said, "Yes, how about a monthly salary of three thousand?" The old black man responded excitedly, and suddenly got lucky, and said hurriedly:  "I don't want any money for that box of stuff, I'll give it all back to you"

    "No, you deserve that money." Ye Wei interrupted him, "If you hadn't picked it up, I would still be a fool. But now"

    He looked at the group photo and said, "I am resurrected."

    The box was actually on the small truck parked outside. Ye Wei got it completely. As a piece of garbage, it was indeed quite new, and there were no signs of squeezing.

    A piece of trash

    In the boys' room on the second floor of Ye's house in Brentwood, Ye Wei was holding a big cardboard box and putting everything about Lily in the room one by one. The Cook lens, the white jade stone she gaveshe  photos, a large stack of various greeting cards Finally, he took the photo frame on the bedside table and took a look. It was a group photo taken at Starbucks after the film festival. Sitting on a chair, he put his arm around her shoulders and she hugged Ye Wei.  Awards and trophies, all smiling brightly

    With a soft bang, it was put into the box, and the box was closed immediately, and everything was drowned in darkness.

    Ye Wei carried this box of things to the attic that served as a utility room, put it next to the garbage dump cardboard box in the corner, sealed them all with yellow tape, and felt like something was sealed in his heart; then he used a black marker  Pen, go to themOn the front were written "Trash that cannot be thrown away", the date "July 203, July 264", two names "VIYLjC", and then the epitaph "Frankly, dear, I him"  The horse doesn¡¯t care at all¡± and then¡­

    "What are you doing?" Ye Wei laughed at himself, threw away the marker, stood up and took a few steps back, looking at the two tombstones. After a long time, he patted his left shoulder with his right hand and said, "Welcome back, bad boy."

    He turned around and left, walked a few steps, and suddenly kicked a few boxes of groceries next to him. With a loud bang, he raised his hands and shouted as he walked: "Oh, I'm single again. I've also changed."  You are getting stronger, so you must celebrate well, haha."

    The night view of New York is bright and it¡¯s already past 11 o¡¯clock in the evening. Lily came to this city to relax a few days ago.

    Wei Wei doesn¡¯t know that because of the time difference, she will receive the text message three hours late now. It¡¯s just that she has been to B: 6nm in Los Angeles for more than ten minutes today and she hasn¡¯t received the text message yet.

    Lily stood on the balcony of the hotel suite, looking at the colorful outside, but she couldn't help but think about why, why didn't he post it anymore?  He thinks forget it?

    When she thought of this, she couldn't help but close her eyes, her heart trembling in confusion. She opened her eyes, opened the text message box of her mobile phone, and read Ye Wei's noon text message: "Weird people, strange things, maybe I will gain something."  ¡±

    What do you get?  What does this mean?

    Lily couldn¡¯t understand.

    That day, in the girls¡¯ room, the girl with thick eyebrows was holding a big cardboard box and looking around. Almost everything reminded her of him.

    She needs to temporarily put herself in an environment without Ye Wei, so that she can calm down, sort out her thoughts, think about problems, and work hard for her dreams.

    I have already walked around the house before and placed half a box of things.

    Suppressing the melancholy and heartache, the girl took down the No. 6 red and black jersey hanging on the wall and put it in the box, followed by one after another. Every gift and every greeting card he sent, he also put it in the box.  The gifts I had prepared in England before I had time to give him were also put in, as well as the vague confession paper

    I also put in a stack of LA Times column articles I had collected, including the love poem.  A souvenir from my trip to Hawaiia picture frame on my bedside table

    Finally, the girl walked to several glass cabinets where she collected antiques. She stood in front of the Alexander doll cabinet for a while, opened the cabinet, took out the Jane Eyre doll and put it into the box. The left hand of the doll was tied with a broken  Colorful bracelets.

    At this time, the box was full. The girl sealed it with tape and put the box in the corner of the room. After a while, she still couldn't calm down and kept looking at it.

    The girl had no choice but to pick up the box with some difficulty, go to the utility room on the first floor, and put it next to a corner.

    She exhaled, turned around, walked a few steps, and looked back, as if what was hidden inside was her heart, and in her chaotic mind, she was looking forward to the day when she would open it again.

    By then, you will have the answer

    After lingering for a while, the girl finally left, please work hard

    ¡°Dolores has been having a hard time recently. She is a domestic assistant in the Gil-Taverman family. Although she is second in line to Madeleine, she has been working for the family for more than half a year.  Because Tawarman and Lily had good tempers, she didn't suffer much, and she didn't secretly urinate in the swimming pool or take any of the unscrupulous revenge that celebrity assistants often do.

    But since Lily had a change of heart in the middle of the month, the atmosphere at home has also changed. Because of a small mistake, Tawerman, who used to not scold her, scolded her and even considered firing her.

    Dolores suddenly felt cold. She already knew that she was not friends with her celebrity employer.

    She is just a lowly assistant, coming and going as soon as she is called. If she is lucky, she will work for a few more years before being fired. Then she will write a gossip book and expose some inside stories that are both true and false, just like Lily once had an affair with Ye Wei  It's true that they fell in love; how they fell in love and how they broke up can be made up. The more sensational it is, the better it sells and the more money it makes.

    You can also be an informant for the gossip media. As long as things are done well, you can make money by selling information.

    This is the assistant industry. Many secret scandals about celebrities and celebrities, whether true or false, all come from "former assistants".

    Dolores had never thought of doing these things before, but when this idea came out like a poisonous snake, she couldn't suppress it no matter what. She wanted to get some benefits before she was fired.

    An opportunity immediately came to her. She saw Lily packing up all the things related to Ye Wei in the house. The things in a big box were very valuable. They could be sold for a good price now. If they were collected for a few years, Lily would be able to collect them later.  If Ye Wei becomes a big star, she will become even more famous and may be sold for millions of dollarsshe will become prosperous.

    But to Dolores¡¯s disappointment, Lily didn¡¯t throw away the box, but put it in the utility room.

    But she still has a chance, because the houseShe is responsible for the cleaning. As long as she "clears out" the boxes as garbage and uses smart techniques, she can get the boxes safely.

    And who knows if Lily will touch the box again, she will probably forget about it after a while, but I don¡¯t know if she will still be the family¡¯s assistant at that time, she can¡¯t wait any longer, she has to take it away now.  So a few days later, she created a false impression and stole the box home.

    But Dolores was afraid again. If someone found out that she actually committed the theft deliberately, it would be a small matter to be fired and never find another assistant job, but a big thing to be prosecuted and go to jail She knew that Tawerman was not a good person.  The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, and I wanted to put the box back again

    However, the day after she stole the box and before she returned it, Tawerman discovered that the box was missing and immediately came to her to inquire.

    Dolores naturally refused to admit it, and was extremely scared. She thought that if she confessed, Tawerman would call the police to arrest her, so she insisted that the box might be thrown away as garbage.  Maybe someone stole it, but it's none of my business.

    Tawarman was not so easy to deal with. He said very seriously: "If you really stole the box and you sold it, I will have a way to track it down and you will be punished as you deserve. Don't doubt this. Doro  Liz, if you return the box to Lily, you will only lose your job and leave the industry. We will not pursue other responsibilities."

    "It's not me, ma'am, it's really not me." Dolores still refused to admit it, but she knew that her greed had caused a big disaster. What methods would Tawerman use?  Private detective?  Gangster?

    Fortunately, she was careful enough and put the box somewhere else. "If you don't believe it, come to my house and search it now."

    Tawarman and Madeleine went to her house to search, but of course they couldn't find it.  Dolores, who had taken the initiative, had quietly asked her uninformed boyfriend to drive the box and throw it to the Shawler-Canning dump in the suburbs, confirming that it was thrown away as garbage

    It's hard to describe how angry Jill Tawerman was. If Lily hadn't gone to New York to relax, something suddenly occurred to her at the airport, and she called her and asked her to put a box in the utility room back in her room. She wouldn't have discovered this.  incident, home theft

    It is common for celebrities and celebrities to have things stolen from their homes, sometimes by assistants themselves, sometimes by assistants acting as thieves, or just thieves.  But for the first time in her house, the most suspicious one was obviously Dolores.  These assistants were recommended by others at the beginning and went through many interviews and inspections, but they still betrayed them.

    ¡°At this juncture, Tawerman would rather have stolen some gold and silver jewelry, not a box of Lily¡¯s treasures

    No direct evidence could be found from the only two security cameras, so she could only control Dolores immediately, and then use both soft and hard tactics to hope that the other party would wake up.

    But Dolores refused to admit it no matter what she said, but she could tell that the other party had stolen the box and couldn't find it at his home. It was a step too late and she would not let Dolores go. However, this matter was also  It is not appropriate for the outside world to make a fuss known, it will only cause another blow to Lily and cause greater mental distress.

    The most important and best thing now is to retrieve the box as soon as possible, and the second is to prevent the box from being sold by Dolores.

    On the other hand, if the box cannot be found, how will you explain it to Lily?

    After much thought, Tawerman had to pretend that she was looking for it and asked her daughter what the box looked like. Then he made a copy of a box of approximate weight and sealed it with tape and placed it in the corner of her room. The box contained  Some wood paper

    If the fake box cannot be replaced by the real box, then the lie will continue until Lily opens the fake box.

    There will be several possibilities at that time. One is that Lily and the bastard reconcile, and the other is that the two break up completely. In both cases, Lily will not be very sad, just angry and regretful.

    The worst thing is that the relationship between the two is not clear yet, and Lily will know the truth, which will make her very sad.

    Tawarman would not give up on retrieving the box. At the same time, in order to prevent another possibility that the box was really thrown away as garbage, she hired people to go to various garbage dumps to find scavengers and ask if they had found anything. But if it was  In this case, the hope of getting it back is very slim.

    "Whoa oh"

    Under the night sky, Ye Wei drove a Volkswagen sedan with a different appearance, carrying George, an old black man, and drove aimlessly on the roads of Los Angeles. The car was not speeding, and he was not guilty of such stupid things.  He laughed with old George: "Brother, if this is a convertible sports car and you replace it with a hot beauty with big breasts, then he will be the most comfortable."

    Old George smiled cheerfully, revealing his missing front teeth.

    "ecae" Ye Wei yelled as much as he wanted, and the foul words floated out of the car window, echoing in the bustling city streets and disappearing in the passing traffic. It has been a long time since he spat out foul words so happily. He threw it with Litli ItvrILtttaLI  Rubbish) fLI) After falling in love, swearing was isolated from him for a time.

     But now, I'm free

    You can call it whatever you want, "aeaeaeae"

    Ye Wei knows that he is not crazy, not crazy because of a broken love, no, no, no, this is just finding himself, the swear words are just a very, very superficial thing, it is a mentality.

    That amazing dream made him a shitty genius. The changes in life and the pursuit of dreams gradually made his mentality change a lot, some of which were good, and some of which were really not so good, such as being cautious and subtle like a fox. This  There is no problem, smart people are like that. The problem is that I don't like those who are depressed, hypocritical and depressed.

    Whenever Ye Wei had this kind of thought in the past, he would think about his family and that girl

    But now?  What the hell is he afraid of now?  Don't be afraid of anything now

    The box office of "Wedding Day is Coming" has received RMB 360,000. The family's debts have been cleared, and the remaining profits can help the family live a better life. Moreover, the "suck-loving dentist" is a high-income earner. Without debts,  He doesn't have to worry about the family's finances at all, and Toto is guaranteed to have the best dog food.

    Be a star?  Ye Wei has never cared about being a star. He worked so hard to promote himself before just to pay off his debts quickly. Being a star has nothing to do with dreams. Can't he make a movie if he doesn't become a star?  Can¡¯t you make a good movie?  No, it doesn't matter at all

    Terrence Malick, who is now over 6 years old, almost never appears in front of the media. Every producer, director, etc. contract he signs has provisions to protect his portrait rights. Others cannot take photos of him, and he refuses.  All media interviews, like a hermit, there is only one photo on INDb from the set of "The Thin Red Line" taken in 1966

    ? ?Guess what?  Still shot so many classics

    In 2019, I finished filming "Days of Heaven", moved to France and lived in seclusion for 2 years, and produced "The Thin Red Line", which won 7 Oscar nominations.

    Celebrities are vying to work with him. It is he who chooses the stars, not the stars who choose him.

    This is a great director, this is a great person. The key is not not to show up, but to live the kind of life I want to live, instead of being a ridiculous ordinary person who sighs "this is reality" and "be more mature"  people.

    Be a star?  To be a big shot in the world¡¯s eyes?  Hahaha I don't care at all.

    "George, life has been alive for decades. You are 3 years old and you are just a scavenger. But I think you are happier than many celebrities because you are you, not another person created by a team.  This is enough to make them jealous. No wonder you don't need to see a psychiatrist.

    Many times, we force ourselves not to be ourselves for the sake of other people¡¯s ideas and opinions, and for things that we don¡¯t actually need. Is that happy?  No. What do I want in life?  I haven¡¯t completely thought about it yet, but I think as I play around, I¡¯ll figure it out and I can play whatever I want.  "

    Ye Wei drove to Beverly Hills and suddenly had an idea. He smiled and said, "I'll tell you what fun is? Today, according to the logic, I should drink. But I'm only 6 years old. The law says I can't drink. I don't care about me."  Want to drink"

    "I remember I drank a lot before I was 10 years old. Haha, my dad was a bastard." Old George showed two rows of uneven white teeth.

    ¡°George, I¡¯ll take you to my dad¡¯s dental clinic another day to get your front teeth filled. I have an obsessive-compulsive disorder and can¡¯t stand to see other people with bad teeth.¡±

    Ye Weixiao interjected and added: "But it's all fun, I don't make fun of other people's lives. I don't know how to drink and drive. You will drive later."

    After driving for a while, he came to an unknown convenience store and found a parking space to park. He paid a few hundred dollars to Old George and said, "Go in and buy a copy of Playboy first.  Then buy as many drinks as you want until you spend all the money and give me some surprises. The beauty of life lies in the unknown, oh yeah."

    Firstly, Old George was grateful to Ye Wei, and secondly, this was his job. If the boss said it, he would do it.  Old George took the money and got out of the car and ran into the convenience store.

    Ye Wei moved his seat to the passenger seat, patting the front desk of the car with both hands like drums, he was getting more and more excited

    Not only has he found himself, he has also found the true joy of making movies. He no longer cares about whether he can invite Roberts and Hanks to join him. He doesn't care.

    The quality of a movie is not determined by whether there are superstars or not. What is the spirit of independent film?  You can make it with a super B, you can make it with a P, you can make it with ten thousand dollars, you can make it with one hundred thousand dollars. As long as you want to make a movie, you can always make it.

    Not to mention that he now has a budget of 600,000 yuan, which is really extravagant. What kind of superstar does he want?  If he can't make a good movie with 600,000 yuan, he will be the world's most stupid ass.

    He was so rare about superstars before, but he just fell into a mentality trap that he dug himself. He wanted to show Willis that he could invite superstars to star in "Little Miss Sunshine". He wanted to show it to everyone and Litli. You guys love it.  How powerful VIY is

    It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to think about it now, it¡¯s that I¡¯ve thought about it. Whether love comes or not, I welcome it if it does.?It doesn't matter.

    I will always remember Hanks¡¯ support. I must work hard to create good results in return for him, and I must also be myself.

    "Oh, baby, baby," Ye Wei sang in a high mood. Soon after, Old George returned with a full load, "Haha, it seems that I am much happier than Tao Zai."

    While he picked up the latest edition of "Playboy" that he had not seen for a long time and looked through it, he took five or six bottles of beer, red wine and white wine and put them at his feet. He immediately opened a bottle of beer and drank it, sighing,  "Come on George, drive"

    ¡°Where are you going?¡± Old George asked as he fastened his seat belt and started the car.

    "It's open, it's open." Ye Wei waved his hand, drank a beer, looked at the night street scene outside, and said, "Did you see? The whole world is filled with cages. The more mature and successful the people, the more mature and successful they are.  The more cages I have on my body, it¡¯s no big deal. I¡¯ve had enough fun. I¡¯ve already felt it. Tonight I felt so clearly that those cages were hurting my creativity and hurting me as a person. I mean,  Some rules you have to follow, and some you just should fuck with.

    George, this is also what I want to say about the script story of "Little Miss Sunlight". Michael River, I, I want to say, is it tiring to be a person all day long?  Hold.  "

    "Hehehe." Old George didn't even know what Ye Wei was talking about and drove very safely.

    Suddenly, a text message came from his personal mobile phone. Ye Wei took it out and looked at it. It was from an unknown number: "Hello, I am Michael Angarano. I want to talk to you about Christine.  ." He couldn't help but screamed and laughed: "It's incredible, what does Christine have to do with me?"

    He pressed the phone with interest and replied: "What do you want to say? Just tell me."
