In a mansion in Beverly Hills under the night sky, after Liz threw the "viy" DVD into the trash can outside the house, she walked back angrily, "Idiot Ye Wei Idiot Ye Wei!!"
When passing the entrance hall, I saw Mary-Kate standing by the stairs with her hands folded across her chest, a proud smile on her face.
"Get out of here." Liz glanced at her and strode upstairs.
"Baby sister, I didn't do anything, I just let you see Ye Wei's true face clearly." Mary-Kate giggled, "Maybe I am biased against him, and he is biased against you. No one is better than the other."
¡°I¡¯m smarter than you!¡± Liz walked through a bend in the spiral staircase, making the stair planks make a clanking sound.
Mary-Kate's words are still coming: "If you really want to act in a movie, let's find a project to invest in and let you play the leading role, okay?"
"Leave me alone! I told my mother and she will take care of you."
Liz returned to her bedroom, still feeling depressed. She was supposed to be making final preparations for the draft tonight. She took a mirror from the dressing table, lay down on the big bed, and made various expressions in front of the mirror, but nothing serious. She pouted, kissed, winked, stared in shock, giggled, opened her mouth to spit fire
After I don¡¯t know how long it took, most of the anger quietly disappeared, forget it! Continue with your plan, study hard and learn acting, and become a blockbuster in the future!
When the time comeswhat time the time comes, it doesn't matter what happens to Ye Wei, I won't pay attention to this person anymore.
"That's it." Liz got up and walked out of bed to find something to eat. She was a little hungry. She held her cell phone and clicked to read the text message. As soon as she left the room and reached the stairs, her cell phone suddenly vibrated and she was startled. She saw that the caller was from an unfamiliar number. Could it be an insurance company?
While answering the call, he walked downstairs and said, "Hello?"
"It's stepped on! It's stepped on! Earl, get out of here, get out of here!"
The nice young boy¡¯s voice coming from the mobile phone made Liz almost roll down the stairs. It was Ye Wei¡¯s voice.
And as someone who had watched "Alien" countless times, she understood this seemingly incomprehensible sentence, and her heart skipped a beat
Whatwhat is this! ?
What is he calling for? What's the meaning! ?
For a few seconds, Liz stood motionless, saying nothing, and there was no word on the other end of the phone. But her mind immediately changed. This sentence was not Walter Zhang's line, but Valentin McGee's. Then Earl said
A smile appeared on her lips, and she cursed angrily as if she had just woken up: "You stupid idiot! I once encountered a stampede, five hundred of them! They were all running desperately from the horizon."
A male voice suddenly sounded on the other end of the phone: "Now, how many animals do you need to call a stampede, Earl? Three or more? Is there a minimum number?"
Before she could say the next words, Liz couldn't help but laugh. She hurriedly covered the microphone hole of her phone, laughed a few times, then let go and cursed: "I hope they all step on your ass!"
As soon as she said the words, she burst out laughing again. The idiot knew "Alien", but his "get-out" probably didn't refer to Valentine. Now he was obviously giving her a chance to scold him.
Ye Wei on the other end also laughed, "Come to the draft tomorrow, okay?"
Liz's smile faded. Although his way of apologizing was interesting and he was no longer angry, his previous stupidity really disappointed her. She had never thought about starting a movie career so early. She was so excited about the talent show and "The Lovely Bones" "My interest in "Ye Wei" and so on all stemmed from my interest in Ye Wei, but now my interest is no longer there, and viy is nothing special.
"No, I don't want to participate." Liz continued walking downstairs.
"How?" Ye Wei asked.
How? Unexpectedly, he insisted instead, and Liz became a little more interested again, "I'm very strange, why? And why?"
"Because I've been crazy lately, and then my condition got a little better."
Liz suddenly had an idea, "I want to talk to you in person before deciding whether to participate." As long as you see who viy is, you will naturally have the answer.
"Okay, where can we meet?"
Liz couldn't live in a lively place. There couldn't be breaking news like "Ye Wei secretly met the sister of the Olsen sisters". He also had a girlfriend. This couldn't be like a one-time incident. It was almost 10pm now. Where to compare? Suitable? She was too lazy to think, "You tell me."
¡°Santa Monica Beach.¡±
¡¡
The night light also shines on Santa Monica.
The back garden of a residenceYe Wei put down his cell phone. Of course, Amy next to him could tell that he was going out, and she was a girl who was going to attend the talent show, so she looked a little unhappy.
"I have to go to the beach to meet a girl." Ye Wei looked at her.
"Oh." Amy pursed her lips, "When will you come back?"
"I may not come back tonight." Ye Wei stood up and was about to leave, only to realize that he had drunk beer. He was not drunk but did not like drunk driving, and asked her: "Can you drive me there?"
Amy¡¯s eyebrows suddenly frowned. Everything was fine just now, but suddenly he called another girl for a date and asked her
"Work?"
"Not really."
"Who is that? Maudie Symington? Your ex-girlfriend?"
"No, it's just a girl, meeting her for the first time." Ye Wei didn't want to say more and walked back to the house, "Forget it, I'll ask someone to take me there."
Amy stood up and followed, her voice full of anger: "Can you at least focus on dating me when you are dating me?"
"It's my fault tonight, but this is an emergency. I have no choice but to go. You can go home."
Ye Wei went to the bathroom and called old George who lived in a nearby apartment to come over urgently. He was about to go out and passed by the living room when he saw Amy sitting on the sofa, holding a newly bought patterned pillow, and said with a calm and beautiful face: "I Just spend the night here, don¡¯t bring the girl back.¡±
"Hey? What are you talking about?" Ye Wei felt helpless, "This is only the third or fourth time we have met. Don't make it seem like we are boyfriend and girlfriend You are too serious."
"I'm not serious enough!?" Amy stared at him and said slowly: "Don't, take the girl, come back!"
"Emmanu, that's what I'm not sure about." Ye Wei shrugged and smiled, feeling that Emmanuelle was actually very serious when she said she wasn't serious, so he didn't want to play with her anymore. He laughed: "I'm an asshole just like you who is living a new life. Nothing is certain except for movies and my family."
He took a black casual jacket and walked outside the house.
Amy watched Ye Wei walk out of the room with red eyes, hugging the pillow in her arms tightly.
¡¡
When Ye Wei drove to a parking lot west of the Santa Monica Pier, it was already 22:16. Old George took a taxi and left. He would drive himself on the return trip or wherever he went. Because he was really not drunk at all, he had to be tipsy after drinking at least five cans of beer. It was just half a can, and the sea breeze made him feel even more refreshed.
After waiting by the car for more than ten minutes, Elizabeth Olsen has not arrived yet. She didn¡¯t say when she would arrive before, she just said, ¡°Then you wait.¡±
Ye Wei waited until he felt like a homeless person, like one of the refugees wandering on the coast at night.
Maybe this is who you are now, no matter how many thoughts you have, you choose to be dissolute. So no matter what kind of lifestyle it is, treat it positively and stay away from those good people, but don't involve movies. Who knows what will happen if we go on Who knows tomorrow.
He looked at the uniform night sky and sea. If you don¡¯t mess with others, everyone is fine. Don¡¯t be wordy.
Just as I was thinking about it, a text message from Olson finally came to my phone: "I'm here, I saw you."
Ye Wei looked around, there were only a few scattered vehicles, but no figure that looked like her was found. He pressed the phone and replied: "Don't tell me you are a sniper?"
¡°I think so,¡± Olson replied.
Seeing it, Ye Wei saw a tall blond girl getting out of a white Chrysler not far to the upper right. He could see clearly under the luminous lights. She was wearing boy-style clothes, a red jacket, black jeans and Blue and white plaid shirt, Nike sneakers, no accessories, no makeup.
She has long pale blond hair tied into a ponytail, and her youthful and beautiful face is somewhat similar to the Olsen sisters. The most similar thing is the pair of gray-green eyes, which are very penetrating.
Master Gia is right. Elizabeth Olsen's appearance and temperament are very suitable for "Susie". He knows and agrees with Sebold's casting criteria of "lilies + daffodils". In other words, that girl cannot be too lily. The flowers should not be too daffodils.
For example, Maudie is too lily-like, perfect for clear and ethereal, but not playful or naughty.
But Elizabeth Olsen is different. She is a mixture. She has a lily side, which can be very quiet, transparent and elegant, and a daffodil side, which is more, and she looks very quirky at first glance.
In the original book, Susie is 14 years old, but when making a movie, we can't really find a 14-year-old girl to play the role, because Susie is 14 years old, so there will be no contrast in Lindsey's teenage years, and Ray, Ruth and others will also be very young, so they all have to be Two actors, that's not itOK. Young men and women in movies are always a bit older, and 26-year-old Jon Heder also plays a high school student.
But the 17-year-old Olsen¡¯s figure is already in better shape, and her graceful curves are in conflict with Susie¡¯s girl-next-door look, so the stylist can probably cover them up.
"Hello." Ye Wei walked up.
While being looked at by Ye Wei, Liz was also looking at this talented young man. Her heart beat a little faster, and she finally saw him.
He looked very handsome wearing a neat black jacket and light brown khaki pants, and an exquisite mechanical watch on his left wrist. Lizzie's tall figure and handsome face made her unable to take her eyes back. She always thought that Viy's legs were so beautiful, slender and strong, with thick thighs and thin calves. She really deserved to be the football captain, as she used to be.
He is only one year older than me, which is a full year apart by 3 days. Her birthday is February 16th and his birthday is February 19th.
Genius viy, I finally meet you.
I hope you won't disappoint me.
"Hello." Liz stretched out her right hand and shook hands with Ye Wei. They both shook hands lightly and then let go. She looked calm, "What should I call you? Walter? Valentine? Viy?"
"As you like." Ye Wei's face was also quiet, still looking at her, because he was nearly a head taller than her, looking down a bit.
"Then I'll call you Wei, just call me Liz." Liz said with a smile.
"Liz?" Ye Wei whispered.
Lizzie nodded: "Yes, Lizzie, Lizzie, as you like."
Li? I don¡¯t like this sound, I don¡¯t want to say it, I don¡¯t want to hear it. Ye Wei raised his eyebrows, "If you like, I can call you Litchi, l, i, c, h, e, e, okay?"
Liz was stunned for a moment, her gray eyelashes blinked, "lichee?"
Ye Wei tilted his head, "You know, your resume says your name is Elizabeth, just like a guy named Elizabeth pursuing another guy named Olson." He couldn't help laughing, "The key is , liz+cha color is lichee, isn¡¯t it? Lychee is a Chinese fruit.¡±
While looking at her, he said: "The red fruit shell has sharp thorns on the shell, which makes it difficult to eat. But when you peel the shell off, the pulp inside is very delicious, tender and sweet. Of course, that is if you haven't eaten it yet." rot."
Liz looked at him stupidly, her long eyebrows furrowed, "I know what lychee is, I ate it in Hawaiiwhy do you pronounce it like this?"
It¡¯s not Lizhi, it¡¯s Laizhi? She suddenly understood, right? There are so many people named Lily, so what do we call them? Lai Lai? Zhizhi? What! It seems that his relationship with Lily Collins is really not simple.
"Because the origin of lychee is southern China, Laizhi is Cantonese, and Lizhi is Mandarin." Ye Wei said about his knowledge.
"Okay, as you like." Liz rolled her eyes, thinking you made sense. When I think about saying so much because of a title, it¡¯s really funny. It feels like I¡¯m back in the kindergarten days. When I think about it, his introduction to lychee just now was also a joke. Why am I so troublesome? The flesh is tender and sweet
She couldn't help but belatedly annoyed and asked: "Do you always talk to girls like this? Call others a lychee?"
"No, this is the first time I have called someone else Lychee." Ye Wei walked towards the beach.
If there is a war of words and Liz feels she is at a disadvantage, how come my name can be combined into lychee? If I had known I wouldn't be wearing a red jacket! I also want to give him a fruit name, but I can¡¯t think of any fruit that vigor+ivan can have
She followed, thinking a lot, and had a flash of inspiration, yes, barely!
"Then I'll call you Vine, not Vine, but V, i, n, e, Vine." Liz imitated his scholarly tone just now, "Grape is a kind of fruit with a very thin skin. It will break if you tear it, and the pulp sometimes tastes very sour, and there are many seeds, so you have to spit it out." She was satisfied and finally fought back.
Ye Wei stopped and turned to look at her, his face as dark as water, "Do you think it's just a matter of hurting your face? "New York Moment"?"
"'New York Hours' is not my movie!" Liz became angry when she said it. She unconsciously spoke a little louder and said seriously: "I have nothing to do with it, I was not involved in it! My sisters were stupid, Are you going to be stupid too?"
"So do you like "New York Moment"?" Ye Wei asked.
"To tell you the truth, I don't think it's a movie at all. It's more like a show, the Olsen sisters' show." Liz kept some words in her heart and wouldn't be happy if she didn't say them. She glared at him slightly and continued. : "You can say I'm narcissistic, but I'm definitely not out of the league. You're targeting me! Disgusting targeting! Like my sisters, bitches!"
Yes, I called him psy. I thought he was very masculine before
 Seeing that Ye Wei was silent and didn't speak, Liz wanted to leave. It was better to be famous than to meet him. It was nothing special.
"I have recently fallen out of love, and my life is in a mess." Ye Wei suddenly said, looking at the stunned Liz, he said seriously: "I admit, my previous betrayal of you was completely a personal act. It's not just Because of "New York Hours" and your two sisters, and because you may be the answer to one of my three projects."
Liz immediately didn¡¯t know what to say. She never expected the current situation. He was lovelorn? Got dumped? Nina Dobrev? Lily Collins?
Before setting foot on the beach, Ye Wei looked at the sea in the distance, "You have just become my opposing force. If I don't get rid of you, my work may be completed perfectly. Before tonight, I don't want that, my life is terrible. Why do you still care about work? "
He looked at her, "So I guess I just wanted to sabotage it, like fuck it, come on. But I was wrong, the two should be kept separate. That's not just work, that's a movie. This is To be honest, I'm sorry about this."
"I once again sincerely invite you to participate in tomorrow's draft, okay?"
Liz looked at his serious face with fixed eyes. She no longer had to think too much and nodded: "Okay, I will participate."
"Okay." Ye Wei also nodded, "Then go back, the security here is not very good."
"Well" Liz didn't want to leave at this time. Her impression, interest and affection for viy were all coming back, especially he was broken up in love? There was a strange thrill in her heart.
"Go back, it will be very troublesome if you are photographed. I think you will win the role, unless your acting skills are as bad as the Olsen sisters." Ye Wei said and walked back to the parking lot.
"Please don't talk about them in front of me. No matter how bad their acting skills are, they are all my family." Liz laughed and saw him walking towards his Volkswagen, "Wait a minute, I have another question!"
Ye Wei looked back at her, "What?"
Liz didn¡¯t know what she wanted to ask. Just to stop him, she asked reluctantly: ¡°Do you believe in the existence of gods?¡±
"I believe in the existence of demons." Ye Wei said, "I am."
¡¡
After leaving Santa Monica Beach, Ye Wei drove back to his home in Brentwood. It was already 11 o'clock in the evening. His parents hadn't gone to bed yet, but Duoduo had already slept like an angel. He looked at her for a while, and then Went downstairs to play with Toto for a while, then went back to his bedroom.
No matter why, he just wants to sleep at home tonight.
This sleep, he slept very peacefully, it was the most peaceful sleep he had after moving out, and he was ready for the early morning of the next day.
The sky was bright, and before Duoduo got up, Ye Wei went to talk to his parents, who had not gotten up either, and then drove away from home and returned to his residence in Santa Monica.
The road was clear in the early morning, and a dozen minutes later, the Volkswagen was parked beside the driveway of the front lawn of the residence.
Ye Wei opened the door and entered the room, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he saw Amy Rosen sleeping on the sofa fully clothed, covered with a blanket that could not cover her body, and holding the pillow with both hands. The key chain in his hand collided and jingled inadvertently, and Amy suddenly woke up, trembling back to the sofa and looking at it with big eyes.
When she saw it was him, she relaxed. She noticed that it was already dawn and her face looked very ugly. "You're back?"
"Yes." Ye Wei threw the key chain on the work table, looked at her over there, and smiled: "Another wonderful night."
"I don't want to hear it." Amy's face became darker and darker, her eyes full of complexity.
"Then I won't say anything." Ye Wei walked towards the room, "Amy Gray, what will you have for breakfast later?"
"I don't understand!!!" Amy suddenly shouted, sitting up and shouting tremblingly: "What can't I do well in bed? Are you looking for another girl?"
"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just like a recipe, you can't eat the same dish every day." Ye Wei stopped and frowned at the pitiful girl, "Please! We have only known each other for less than a week, how can we Not married. I told you a long time ago that I don¡¯t want a serious relationship yet. If you do, don¡¯t look for me.¡±
He turned back and continued walking, "That's what happened! I don't want to quarrel today. Today is a big day, the first day of the draft!"
Amy sat quietly for a while, then got up and walked to the kitchen and bathroom. Let me see how long you can continue to be a jerk.
