"Little hooligan." -
Lily¡¯s 6th birthday is March 18th. She has been receiving blessing text messages since early in the morning. In the morning, the mailbox is filled with explosive messages, including a little gangster she doesn¡¯t want to see, and even Keats¡¯s poem. , now even Keats is annoying Byron, Shelley, and Keats were all ruined by him, it's really hateful.
In the morning, Lily went to school as usual. After school in the afternoon, she was busy with the student union and news agency before leaving. In the evening, she went to the Peninsula Beverly Hills Hotel to attend the birthday party her mother held for her. Many people came, including Qiao Li and her. friends, mother's friends, etc., and her asshole father.
There are many, many birthday gifts, expensive and rare ones, and lots of jewelry, which makes her feel bored when she sees them. It¡¯s too boring, but she also says that she likes them too much. It¡¯s etiquette.
After the party, it was quite late when I got home. Qiao Li came back with her asshole father. Qiao Li was staying here this weekend, and her asshole father would leave later.
"Lily, what do you think this is?" In the bright hall of the house, Phil picked up an object on the sofa, a car key tied with a ribbon, and showed it to his precious little daughter. Qiao Li next to her clapped and laughed, and Tawarman said angrily: "Don't tell me what kind of sports car it is."
"Haha, no, it's just an ordinary Maserati." Phil put the car key into Lily's hand and said to his ex-wife: "You can't stop a father from doting on his daughter, you just can't. Lily, dad believes you can handle it. Okay, this is the gift you deserve."
Lily smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Dad. I like this gift. When I get my driver's license, I will take you for a drive." Just when they were doubtful about her calmness, she laughed excitedly and held the car key tightly in her right hand. Hold up, "Wow, I can almost drive my car. This is really, really cool."
"Hahaha, I have another gift for you." Seeing his daughter so happy, Phil was really happy, and picked up a colorful gift box on the sofa, "Dad, I know you like collecting antiques, you will like this." Both Jolly and Tawerman couldn't help but be curious.
"Thank you." Lily took the gift box and opened it immediately. She didn't have any expectations, but she saw a small classic square wooden box inside. The color of the wood showed its age at first glance, and there were exquisitely carved patterns on the box. Lily pattern, the light and agile box is full of heavy antiques.
Her eyes suddenly lit up, and while flipping and playing with the box, she said in surprise: "What a beautiful workmanship, great, dad, this is the best birthday gift today. I like it, I like it." So many jewelry items are not as good as This jewelry box is interesting and thoughtful. I know she will be tired of jewelry and I know she likes antiques, so I gave this wooden box that is actually not expensive in this style. It's great. It's still a surprise for her 6th birthday.
"Thank you, Dad." Lily looked at the wooden box. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and her smile became brighter.
It was the same sentence of thank you dad, but the tone before and after it was very different. Of course the three of them could hear it. Qiao Li and Tawarman both laughed and gave the bastard Collins a look of praise. However, there was a strange flash in Phil's eyes, "Hehehe, I just said you would like it and you can use it to hold jewelry."
"Full marks for irony." Lily laughed, "I thought so too just now, but now I can't bear to part with it. I want to collect it as a memory. Beautiful things are
She was opening the wooden box to look inside, and blurted out half a sentence happily, then stopped. Suddenly, a guess arose in her mind, her smile gradually disappeared, and her long and thick eyebrows frowned.
"This is not your gift, is it?"
"Oh, actually" Phil was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say. Tawarman and Qiao Li were stunned in confusion.
Lily's expression changed. She tightened her grip on the wooden box. She stopped talking a few times, and suddenly said with a forced smile: "I know what's going on. Tell him, I accepted it, but I don't want it to happen again." . Dad, it¡¯s your business to keep in touch. Don¡¯t get involved with me. I still have some homework to do, so I¡¯m going back to my room.¡±
After saying that, she turned around and walked away, suddenly unaware that the car key was in Qiao Li's hand.
When Lily left, the three of them looked at each other in silence for a while. Tawarman asked: "Yes?"A gift from Weige? "
"Yes" Phil nodded.
Qiao Li didn¡¯t know what she was thinking and sighed.
As time enters mid-to-late March, the spring break for North American students is coming one after another. Lily and Trieste and other best friends have already made plans. They put on their backpacks on the girls¡¯ trip and headed to the U.S. Virgin Islands. There were constant laughter and fun every day. happy.
Facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming.
¡°The best spring break ever¡±
The frame-up incident in early March did not spread, and Ye Wei's life was peaceful.
The filming period is coming, and he continues to work during the spring break in Wexford, but the Easter holiday that follows is not just a holiday for students, but also a few days of relaxation to recharge for the filming period, Caribbean, Bahamas , sweet journey.
Ye Wei and Nina both agree that this is another unforgettable trip, including beach, camping, fun, photography, food, fun, sex, chatting
What is love without youth? What¡¯s the point of youth without love?
After the Easter holiday, work resumed on the 3rd. There are only 6 days left before the filming of "Little Miss Sunshine" starts. There is a weekend in between, and there are only 1 working day. Everything is being made for final preparations. The good news is that there is no extreme weather in Toronto this year, the snow is melting, and because the interior scenes will be shot first, there is no need to apply for an alternative filming location plan -
March -1 is a big day for the LM crew. A roundtable reading meeting will be held before filming begins.
The roundtable reading is an informal meeting with the leading actors, directors and other key creative staff. Everyone sits in a circle and reads the script from beginning to end under the director's explanation. It is like a radio drama without sound effects and soundtrack. This will be the first time for everyone to hear the effect of the protagonists sitting together and read the dialogue, and feel the effect. The script is brought to life.
This is an important occasion, which can not only stimulate the feelings and thoughts of the creative staff, but also help the crew become familiar with it, laying a solid foundation for the upcoming filming.
? Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Aaron King, Tim Roth, Abigail Breslin, Paul Dano.
In theory, these six leading actors must be present to read the dialogue of their respective roles. All other roles can be read by the director. For example, Meryl Tripp who plays "Ms. Jenkins" is very rare to be invited to play. It's a joke to ask her to come to the round table meeting.
Even for the two superstars, if they can't come due to something, they won't come and they will just act when the time comes.
But Hanks and Roberts were very professional and respectful, and attended
The two of them arrived in Toronto yesterday and settled down. They will stay in this city for the next two months from April 4th to June 1st, unless they go on location with the crew.
The Roberts family is here, including her husband, two babies who are almost half a year old, and a large team of nannies, nurses, bodyguards, etc. The climate in Toronto and Los Angeles has changed greatly, and babies do need professional care. Otherwise, Roberts would be sick and unable to work. The crew can only cooperate in this regard because there is no subsidy in the budget. So in fact, for now, Roberts is saving money, otherwise he can only stay with the crew in cheap hotels instead of the luxurious "Grand Hotel and Suites".
Hanks, the biggest star, boss and producer, also spent his own money to stay at the Grand Hotel with the Roberts family.
Alan Arkin and Tim Ross also live there, and others are currently staying at the East Beach Days Inn, which has almost nothing but cheap prices. Online and offline are different.
In the early morning of this day, Ye Wei woke up earlier than usual, feeling a little nervous in anticipation. Although he had already led the team to shoot two movies, "Little Miss Sunlight" was so special, and "Wedding Day is Coming", "The Exorcist" "Magic Video" has never held a pre-shooting roundtable reading meeting.
He dressed up like a woman, took several sets of clothes and asked Nina which one was better, making her laugh and help him dress up, but finally chose youthful casual clothes.
"Hey guys"
The roundtable meeting was held in a medium-sized conference room at the film studio in Leslieville between the two hotels. When Ye Wei arrived, he saw several department heads had already arrived, including photographer Sean Maury. Er, art director Donald Burt, production designer Adam Stockhausen
After several months of preliminary preparations, everyone is familiar with the work. Ye Wei calls them brother and sister, they call him director, Wei, and H6, and no one dares to call him boy.
Not long after, Heather Leffler and others also arrived. Among the creative staff in the spacious and clean conference room, the only one missing was Michael River. This is the screenwriter whose job is only screenwriter. He has already completed his creation, and there is still It might make someone uncomfortable and waste money, so he can't come. It's okay to come and visit the team at his own expense during filming.
??It was almost 9 o'clock, and the leading actors also appeared one after another. The first one to arrive was Abigail, who was accompanied by her mother. She wore big glasses and smiled with a sunny look between her front teeth, which made everyone feel warm and innocent. The cute "Director Wei" made Ye Wei smile and reminded him of Duoduo.
"How are you doing, buddy?" Ye Wei said hello to Paul Dano who arrived at the same time. They bumped their fists in a young man's manner. Dano, who was exuding a dull look, said, "I can't wait for the filming to start." Ye Weiyi patted him on the hand. Shoulder, "Don't forget you can't speak yet, you have to write." Everyone chuckled.
Soon after, Ah Jin also arrived. Although the old man seemed cold-mouthed, he was actually humorous and friendly, and it was not difficult to get along with him at all. Brothers, sisters, and children of the younger generation all liked him. Tim Roth also doesn't have the airs of a star. He was used to being on the set of literary and independent films and he was in tune with the film from the first day.
"Superstars are like policemen. They always arrive one step late. Even if they are not late, they will be the last. Hanks and Roberts arrived hand in hand almost immediately.
"Tom, Julia, good morning." Ye Wei welcomed the two superstars into the conference room. He did not hide his excitement, nor did he downplay their transcendent status. He said with emotion: "I still find it difficult to join you. Confidence.¡±
It¡¯s not just him, everyone in the conference room feels this way to some extent, and Abigail is no exception. She can already understand what a superstar is.
"You earned this all by yourself." Roberts grinned widely. His figure had recovered from postpartum, and his face with makeup was radiant and a little more maternal.
"Who can predict life?" Hanks said with a trademark generous smile, looking at the stylish conference room, he couldn't be more satisfied.
Ye Wei clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, welcome to the roundtable reading meeting before the filming of Little Miss Sunlight"
The online and offline and the superstar dragon set are all good. Now everyone is sitting around the large round table in the middle. After some greetings, the meeting started immediately.
Everyone has a script on their desk, as well as the documents they need. Ye Wei opened the script and still remembered the first time he opened it in the reception room of the production department of Focus Headquarters, pretending to be a rich man. Tickets, look at it now, it's about to be filmed, with such a dreamy cast, things are really amazing.
"OK, let's read through the script from the first page." Ye Wei said, and everyone turned to the first page of the script. Abigail had her mother help explain. While reading the script, Ye Wei said seriously: "In the video, the camera zoomed out to a TV screen. Five young women stood side by side on the stage, waiting for the referee to give them scores."
Listening to his story telling and director¡¯s intentions, the creative staff recorded the new information available to their respective departments, and the protagonists also listened and thought, conducting a brainstorming session.
Soon, the first line of the script rang out in the conference room, Hanks¡¯s calm and steady voice:
"There are two kinds of people in the world, winners and losers."
Nina is planning a big plan, an absolutely big plan. Tomorrow, April 1st, is April Fool¡¯s Day.
She has been looking forward to her first April Fool's Day with Yunique for a long time. Humph, she was treated so badly by him before. The most hateful thing is that after she knew it, her heart and body were still stolen. How could she not take advantage of April Fool's Day to teach him a lesson?
The more rigorous training camp for the National Youth Team is about to start, and he is also going to start filming "Little Miss Sunshine", so this is the best time to have fun. I really want to see Yunik acting silly and panicked, what should I do?
Many days ago, even during the trip, Nina was thinking about this problem whenever she had free time. After thinking about it, she came up with multiple ways to trick him, but there was always one that could trick him.
The day before April Fool's Day, the roundtable reading meeting was a complete success. When Yunik came back and talked about the situation with a smile, she listened with a smile, without revealing her conspiracy at all, as if she didn't remember that tomorrow was April Fool's Day and said nothing. this topic. Idiot, you've fallen into a trap
The next day, because it was Friday and she had to go to work and study, Nina started to implement the plan early in the morning.
On the lawn in front of the house, the two of them were about to start their morning jog towards the lake.
"YuniqueI'm pregnant."
Nina had pretended to be uneasy early on, and wanted to tell him several times but didn't say anything. Now she finally said it, with a worried look on her face, secretly looking forward to seeing his frightened look and hearing his uncontrollable screams. . He listened very calmly and seemed to have no reaction. She was about to cry again: "I'm pregnant, what should we do?"
"Wow!" Ye Wei suddenly laughed excitedly, hugged her, and said excitedly: "Of course it was born, haha, I'm going to be a father, hahaha wow," little girl, don't choose to trick me even if you want to. On April Fool's Day, this is my holiday.
"Well" Nina rolled her eyes, this was not the scene she wanted, "Are you sure? You are not afraid? We are so young"
"It's nothing, I love babies." Ye Wei lifted up her coat and top, bent over and went to where there was no baby.Kissing the tight belly with the slightest bit of fat, "I love you, God bless it. It must be twins, a boy and a girl. What's the best name?"
Nina bit her lip, he saw through it, and he came back to tease me, what a fool, what should I do, what should I do She could only respond and said bitterly: "Do you think this is an April Fool's Day joke? I hope so, but this is Really, I just tested it today and it¡¯s not a joke.¡±
"God forbid it's not a joke." Ye Wei shouted anxiously, nervous, but worried about the baby's life. Girl, you learn from me for a few years and then see if you can trick me. Ye Wei added: "I have to tell my parents, and by the way, your parents, don't be afraid. I told them, they must be very angry, it's okay, we will be fine."
He was about to go to the house.
"Hey" Nina hurriedly grabbed him and stamped her feet: "You just thought it was a joke, but it's not. I really don't want to live anymore." Before she finished speaking, she ran towards the cliff park, and behind her came the sound of him saying goodbye. I can't help laughing, it's so annoying
Ye Wei laughed for a while before slowly following up, silly girl, I have given you enough time and opportunity to regroup, give me a surprise.
We followed all the way and entered the cliff park. The winter snow that had not completely melted still covered the ground, leaving little silver spots everywhere. We gradually came to a cliff with dense trees, and Nina disappeared.
"Nina?" Ye Wei shouted to the surroundings, knowing which corner she must be hiding in. Looking around, he could vaguely see a figure behind a big bare tree over there. He couldn't help but laugh out loud and walked towards the cliff. Said to be a cliff, it was actually more like a steep hillside, thirty to forty meters high, with the lakeside embankment below. He looked around, but there was no trace of anything.
No way, there is no set and no props, how can you deceive people? Give her some face, Ye Wei exclaimed: "Oh myNina jumped? No, Nina"
On the other side, Nina, who was hiding behind a tree, covered her mouth with laughter. It was so exaggerated
"Even if you are really pregnant, I am really happy. Why do you do something stupid?" Ye Wei yelled in pretense of pain, punching and kicking his left foot up and down, and when he was about to kick his right foot again , my left foot actually slipped forward, and then fell out. I couldn't stop it. Why are these shoes, girl, you really hurt me?
In an instant, his muscles tensed up and many thoughts flashed through his mind. The section under his feet was not a sheer cliff. As long as he didn't fall straight down or hit something while rolling down at high speed, no one would be killed What he had to do was to stick to the cliff. Stay on the hillside and use your hands and feet to grab onto the ground, at least as a buffer, so that your body can slow down and stop.
"Hahaha" Nina was laughing with joy, her eyes suddenly widened, and she watched Yunik fall forward and fall off the cliff. She suddenly remembered another prank of hers, and took off the spikes of his non-slip shoes ¡
"No"
She screamed and ran over, her feet were weak, and she could still see Yunik rolling down the hillside with the snow. "No, no," he rolled down and fell to the embankment, hitting the rocks on the shore. Stopped and lay there motionless.
"Yunique" Nina's face turned red and then turned pale, her lips were trembling, "Yu, Yunique you, are you okay? Do you hear what I say? Answer me, just move." I'm so scared Stop, stop joking, I'm going to call an ambulance, Yunik."
She shouted loudly, but the figure on the embankment remained motionless. Her whole body was shaking, tears bursting out, and she took out her mobile phone
