"Wen Daixi, where have you been? We are looking for you everywhere, haha, Wen Daixi"
"It's All Daisy's fault" is one of the participating films at this year's Santa Barbara International Film Festival. It will be screened on January 2. Director Wang Ying, starring AnnaSophia Robb and Cicely Tyson all attended the appearance. , and with the help of Ye Wei, this movie prodigy dressed in fashionable clothes and attended as Rob's male companion.
In the packed theater, media people, film critics and ordinary audiences were all looking at the big screen, and it was now the end of the film. Because of thunder that night, the frightened Wen Daisy went missing. Opal and others, who were holding a party for friends and relatives, couldn't find her for a long time. Just when everyone lost hope, Wen Daixi opened the door and found herself back
Because of Wen Daisy and Opal, a group of people in this ordinary town have established a beautiful and friendly friendship, and their lives have become full of laughter, all because of Wen Daisy.
A rising shot reveals the end credits on the screen.
At the same time, there was applause in the screening hall, and the audience was applauding, but the atmosphere was not very enthusiastic, especially the expressions of some film critics were even more subtle.
"Ana, you did a great job, very good, very good." Sitting in the front row, Ye Wei clapped her hands vigorously and said three GPPAT words to Anna Sophia sitting next to her.
He really felt that Ana's performance was impeccable, and the film also had the power to warm people's hearts. It was really great, but he also knew that such a standard commercial and warm family film lacked a profound theme and had A last minute rescue, and it was Wen Daisy who ran back on her own
Thinking about it, "The Terminal" is only just qualified in the film critic circle, and "Daisy" is unlikely to receive much praise.
"Thank you." Anna Sophia, who is already 11 years old, has grown up a little. She still has medium-length blond hair and an angelic smile. She was excited by his praise. "I can act well because of your contribution. But, I want to How can I thank you, hee hee?"
"No need for more, you let me see Opal." Ye Weicheng wrinkled his nose at her and said: "But the movie itself may receive some criticism. In any case, don't pay attention to what those people say, you did a very good job. , very cute, keep it up kid¡±
AnnaSophia nodded grandly, "Absolutely keep it up"
After the show, Ye Wei and Wang Ying also chatted for a few words. Wang Ying's old face was full of helplessness about the standard being too standard, and she said meaningfully, "This is the Hollywood business." What can be done? How much power does it have? No matter how much you do, the commercial control of this kind of commercial film is accurate to the second, and you can do whatever the director says.
"Old man, I think the film is great. I have read the original novel. The story itself lacks conflicts. The focus is on the friendship between Opal and Winn Daisy and the warmth between people. You have a smart The handling, the film is so warm, that¡¯s enough.¡±
Ye Wei liked it very much, but the distributor 20th Century Fox obviously knew that the response from the film critics was not good. The release of the film review was postponed very late. It was not until February 11 that the first film review was published, and it was not until the 17th. The real release day is the 18th, when "Daisy" lands in 18B North American theaters.
February 19th is Ye Wei¡¯s 17th birthday. Although it¡¯s neither good nor bad, because last year it was simple, life is different this year. It¡¯s the weekend, and my friends have been looking forward to it for a long time and said that they must have a birthday party. Ji Ya even threatened to send people to Toronto to kidnap him and bring him back if he refused.
He also wants to go back to Los Angeles to celebrate his birthday happily with his family and friends. What should Nina do? She is too important. Only when she is happy will he have a happy birthday, so
On the evening of the 18th, Toronto time, Ye Wei and Nina took a flight to Los Angeles together.
"Don't disturb me while I'm reading." In the business class of the plane, Nina whispered softly and hit the hand next to her seatmate who stretched out to play with her hair. Ye Wei said OK and looked at the beautiful flight attendant who passed by. She snorted softly and continued to read the "Shelley's Poems" in her hand: Spring water always merges into the river, and the river water merges into the sea. The breeze in the sky always blends with a sweet feeling
The poem was very beautiful, but she couldn't help but think of other things in her mind. She was looking forward to it but also nervous. She was going to meet his parents and his friends. She had to behave well. They must be very smart. They drank tea and talked about poetry. I am waiting for art, so it is better to fill my stomach with some homework when I am in a hurry.
Where is there any loneliness in the world? Due to the laws of nature, all things must be integrated into one spirit. Why are you and I different?
You see, the mountains are kissing the blue sky, and the waves are hugging the waves; who has ever seen flowers that are intolerant of each other: sisters despising brothers?
The sun hugs the earth tightly, and the moonlight kisses the ocean tenderly: but these connectionsWhat's the use if you won't kiss me?
So sweet Nina read a poem and memorized some of it by rote. She gradually started to feel sleepy. She felt like "What good is a love poem if there is no kiss?" She became even sleepier when she saw that it was not a love poem, and she couldn't help but tremble. I yawned, why is "Ode to the West Wind" so long
Seeing her go from dozing to leaning against the chair and actually falling asleep, Ye Wei tried his best to hold back laughter, his shoulders were shaking, please, Nina, why do you have to do this if you don't like poetry? Who told you to read it? On Valentine's Day a few days ago, I read a Shelly poem to you, don't you understand? I'll just stop reading it from now on.
Ye Wei gently took the book away from her lap, looked at it, and saw his favorite sentence: The past belongs to the God of Death, and the future belongs to you.
It¡¯s also Lily¡¯s favorite. However, he thought that his and her previous understanding of poetry was not as profound as he thought.
On the evening of the 18th, Los Angeles time, the two got off the plane. Instead of leaving together, they walked away like strangers. There were too many paparazzi at Los Angeles International Airport.
This weekend, Nina stayed at the Grand Hotel on Sunset Boulevard near Brentwood and went there by herself. Early the next morning, she took a taxi to South Gretna Green Street, where Ye Wei¡¯s home is located, and looked at the buildings on both sides of the street. When she was unfamiliar with life in a high-end house, she saw Yunik, wearing a ball cap and sunglasses, waving in front of him and followed him with a smile.
"Nina"
On the lawn outside the house, when she saw Nina, whom she hadn't seen for almost three months except for occasional video calls, Duoduo was so happy that she didn't forget who it was and rushed forward to hug her. Toto also smelled something, and the same I rushed over excitedly, finally knowing who the mysterious smell on Wei's body came from.
"Hello, Duoduo, hello, Toto." Nina smiled brightly, picked up Duoduo and kissed her on the cheek, put her down, bent over and picked up Toto, who was around her feet, and kissed her. It has a mouthful of nose. This made Ye Wei sigh in disgust, "I don't want to kiss Toto indirectly"
"You haven't kissed it?" Nina stared. Looking at such a cute puppy again, no wonder Toto seemed aggrieved. She hugged Toto and leaned towards him, "Kiss it."
Duoduo was so amused that she jumped up and down, "Brother, please kiss me."
"No, no, don't even think about it." Ye Wei curled his lips and watched Toto stick out his tongue. No matter what he wanted to do, he couldn't do it.
¡°Kiss it¡± Nina brought Toto closer to his mouth and suddenly burst into laughter. Duoduo also laughed and clapped her little palms.
"Today is my birthday, not Toto's birthday." Ye Weicai felt aggrieved. He hid his face and refused to kiss, but was licked several times by Toto from close range. Nina and Duoduo both laughed happily, and Toto was excited. The little tail was wagging. Knowing that he couldn't defeat them, Ye Wei ran towards the house and said, "Catch me if you can."
Duoduo ran first, and Toto, who was put down, also ran wildly. Nina also chased after him on a whim, laughing and shouting. He didn't run with all his strength, but she ran with all her strength. She caught up with him when they were almost in front of the house. She jumped up and pounced. He hugged him on his back and laughed loudly: "I caught you."
However, I saw a middle-aged couple walking out of the house and stopping on the porch in a daze. Damn Younick
Nina quickly let go of him and said seriously: "Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye, hello, I am Nina, Nina Dobrev." How could I not feel nervous, Yunik's parents
But what happened next was beyond her expectation. Both Ye¡¯s mother and Ye¡¯s father were approachable and very enthusiastic towards her. They seemed to have a good impression of her. Moreover, they were both second-generation immigrants and there was no obvious cultural difference. She also Coming prepared, Xianbao showed off her Chinese and took the opportunity to ask Qiao for advice. She knew that Qiao studied East Asian languages ??in college.
In fact, Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao have never cared much about their son's emotional affairs. As long as his son has the youth of a son, he likes it. Besides, Lily and Nina are both good girls.
Nina was a little unbelievable that she had easily won the hearts of Yunik's family. She had not yet performed the poems she had prepared, but when she looked for an opportunity, there was no chance. They did not talk about it at all. Instead, they talked about places she was familiar with such as Toronto and Bulgaria. It made her feel very comfortable.
The two greeted her for a while and then left the young man to play by himself.
"Come in, hurry up, we don't have much time."
On the second floor of the house, Ye Wei took Nina's hand and walked into his room. It's almost nine o'clock, and Lev and the others are about to arrive. Today is Saturday, and the high school department doesn't have to go to school, so they can come over in the morning and spend the day together.
"Wow" Nina looked around in curiosity and surprise. Although she had seen his room in the video and it was her first time to visit him in person, her eyes were naturally attracted to the black stone slab and asked: "Yunique, what about that?" What is Chinese culture? That black stone.¡±
"No, it is the source of knowledge." Slamming the door and locking it, Ye Wei answered the question that every girl would ask, why don't these people watch "20l: A Space Odyssey"? He won't say more, from her He hugged her tightly from behind and kissed her slender neck.
"Hey, stop" Nina hit him angrily, trying to get away. Ye Wei said sadly: "Today is my birthday" When he said this, Nina almost softened her heart, but she felt that he was going to take further action, her hands were already squeezing dishonestly, and she immediately stopped, "No, your family It's just downstairs, if anything embarrassing happens"
"A quick one?" Ye Wei asked with a kiss.
"How can you be fast? No" Nina blushed.
¡°But this is a dream of mine to have sex with a hot, cute and beautiful girl in my own room.¡±
"This dream of yours is so cheap"
Ye Wei still wanted to persuade her, but there was the sound of running in the corridor outside, and soon there was the sound of banging on the door. He had to give up, slapped her butt vigorously, and said viciously: "Wait, tonight I'll take care of you." Nina stuck out her tongue and made a face, pushing out her chest provocatively.
It turned out that it was okay not to do it. Within ten minutes, friends began to arrive one after another.
Emma is not among them, because she is filming "Mermaid" in Australia, so she can only congratulate her remotely and send replacement gifts in the future. She said she would send them in person and not let anyone else bring them.
Even if Emma is in Los Angeles, she may not come if she doesn¡¯t want to meet Nina.
Gia didn't have so many worries anymore. As soon as she came to the grass in the backyard of the house, she hugged Ye Wei firmly and patted his back, "Happy birthday, you're 17? You're still one year younger than me, haha." She was close again She kissed him on the cheek violently, turned to look at the astonished Nina, laughed and hugged him, "Nina, right? Nice to meet you."
Seeing Master Gia hugging Nina and kissing her cheeks several times, Lev and others had an idea, could Master be gay?
"Have you kissed me enough? If you want to kiss me, come to me." Ye Wei shouted as if he was jealous, pointing at his face, and everyone burst into laughter.
"No." Gia looked Nina up and down, and praised: "You are too hot, damn hot, Nina, you really make me jealous. If I were half as hot as you, I wouldn't even learn to do anything. Director, damn hot.¡±
The crowd couldn¡¯t stop laughing. Bud said loudly and honestly: "Master Gia, I think you are hotter." Lev looked at him in surprise. When did he get the idea?
"Thank you, fat man." Gia stretched out her fist towards him, "Today I am your girlfriend, one day." Bud shouted excitedly, "Really? Really?" He touched her with his fist and was delighted. Said: "I have a girlfriend, I also have a girlfriend"
"Kiss her, kiss her," Ye Wei yelled, "Bud, you've been waiting for this day all your life, what are you waiting for now? She's your girlfriend, kiss her quickly."
Lev also started to boo, Chen Nuo and Kerwin nodded repeatedly, AnnaSofia, who had just arrived, was busy asking "what happened", Duoduo shouted: "Bud has a girlfriend"
Bud¡¯s fat face flushed red, he slapped his thigh, and risked his life to step forward and kiss Gia on the cheek. Gia then laughed wildly and hugged his fat shoulders, "This is my boy."
Everyone was laughing, and Nina was laughing too, but her heart was actually numb. I was surprised that there was no tea talk about art, no maturity that was difficult to integrate into, Harvard-West Lake, the second generation of stars, and child stars. I felt that these people were nothing special, either. Young people who love to play and laugh
And Yunique and Gia Coppola are really just good friends. It was her overthinking in the past.
"Nina, just tell me, how can I be as hot as you?" Gia asked again.
Nina responded reflexively: "I have been practicing gymnastics, dance, ballet, and yoga since I was a child." Seeing that everyone's expressions seemed wrong, she quickly said: "There are also arts, like drama and poetry, which help to cultivate the body and mind. £®The weather is here, can spring be far behind? ¡±
"Wow" Gia, Lev, and Bud all exclaimed, looking at her again. They seemed to see something in poetry, but they really like this type.
"What's wrong" Nina was surprised by them. Why did she seem to be the only one here who likes poetry? Ahem.
Seeing that Bad guy was about to speak out, Ye Wei hurriedly laughed, "Nina is just joking. She has no special enthusiasm for poetry, but sports are different. It is her favorite. I want to hold two pairs. Who will attend the second football match?¡±
Time passed by laughing and playing. After three o'clock in the afternoon, the Ye family soon became more and more lively. Harvard-West Lake Junior High School was out of school, and a few more guests came, including girls.
Connie, who had a stable dating relationship with Lev, also came. She and Ye Weiben were good friends, but they became estranged because of Lily. Now things are clear. After so long, she thought she couldn't just let Lily know what she was thinking. Cut off the circle of friends here.
"Viy, happy birthday." On the front lawn, Connie hadn't seen VIY for a long time, and now her eyes were really bright when she saw it. What a pity. She had promised Lily a long time ago that if she and VIY broke up, she would I would ask him out on a date, but unexpectedly, she would be snatched away by that Nina. She was only as big as Lev.There is no coward in the nose
"Thank you." Ye Wei, who came out with Lev to greet her, smiled, hugged Connie, took two gift boxes from her, and asked with a thought: "This is it?"
"The blue package is the gift I gave you, and the light yellow package is the gift Trister gave you." Connie paused as she spoke, feeling a little embarrassed for her best friend, "Lily didn't give you a gift"
Ye Weioh shrugged: "Maybe she doesn't remember." Lev didn't know what to say and didn't want to be implicated anymore. Connie sneered and said, "I asked her, and she said she wouldn't send it as a gift, but let me say happy birthday to you."
"Okay, thank you." Ye Wei nodded and smiled suddenly, "Lily has her own ideas. I always respect her and won't give gifts if she doesn't give them. Don't think she is stingy. No, although I don't understand 100%. She, but she is by no means a stingy person, she may think this is good for us all, let's go, our football game is about to start."
Connie thought silently, should she tell Lily this? Forget it, don't get involved in other people's affairs.
Soon, everyone was laughing and shouting at the small football field in the backyard of Ye's family. Ye Wei and Nina were on the same team, and Lev and Connie were on the other team, playing a two-on-two game. Previously, the team of Gia and Bud, and the team of Dodo and AnnaSofia all suffered miserably.
As the football broke the net again, Nina passed the ball and Ye Wei shot, the two celebrated happily. After Nina flipped a few times, Ye Wei hugged her and high-fived her repeatedly.
It¡¯s less than 15 minutes, it¡¯s 6:0
Lev fell on the grass tired and frustrated, "It's not fair, it's not fair Your football level is too high, it's not fair." Connie wiped the sweat from her face and resigned, "We lost. "VIY and Lily were not that powerful in the past. They could play around -:1, but now they are completely abused"
"Unfair" Lev shouted in pain, causing the two people to laugh even more wildly: "Who will challenge next?" Everyone onlookers looked at each other.
"Actually, there is a fairer way" At this time, Chen Nuo pushed up his glasses, and his small voice sounded like an expert: "Video games."
Ye Wei and Nina looked at each other and smiled again: "OK, who is afraid of whom?" "Okay."
Soon, the lively atmosphere moved to the hall inside the house, where everyone was playing live football on E2 game consoles. Ye Wei and Nina teamed up, Lev and Chen Nuo teamed up, each controlling a top team duel, Manchester United and Real Madrid.
The couple pressed the game controller in tacit understanding, "Long pass to the restricted area, now", "Passed"
"Shovel him, shovel him." Lev and Chen Nuo on the other side went crazy and hurriedly pushed them up, shoveling them empty.
Manchester United forward Ruud van Nistelrooy, controlled by Ye Wei, took a shot in the penalty area. Real Madrid goalkeeper Casillas jumped to save but did not touch the ball. The football went into the net.
"GOAL" Ye Wei was shouting, and Nina was shouting at the same time. The first half was not over yet. -:0 Lev and Lev scratched their heads in frustration, but they still couldn't kick The laughter of everyone resounded through the hall. , Connie scolded in disappointment: "Lev, you suck." Gia shouted: "Get out of the way, I'll do it in the second half, you guys are really bad."
"It's useless for anyone to come." Ye Wei raised his fist to his side, "You are facing a whole, and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts." Nina high-fived him, "We are an invincible combination."
