Shortly after the phone call with Nina, Ye Wei left the Santa Monica beach.
Having heard enough words of comfort, he wants to find someone to scold him. Of course, he must scold him with reason and insight. It's hard for him to be scolded like this now, his family likes him, the boys envy him, the girls adore him, even the dogs don't bark at him, they are crazy with joy when they see him.
Rather than sit and melancholy, it¡¯s better to go on a rampage. Who can scold me? I really want to be scolded.
He doesn¡¯t want to be scolded by Lily, which will have nothing but adverse reactions.
Gia is fine, she has nothing to do anyway and is dating Jennifer's second brother Brian.
Ye Wei first went back to his residence to get his lightsaber, and once again saw the two red-one digital camera prototypes.
In 2005, Jim Jannard founded red company. At the 2006 NAB exhibition, Jannard announced that he would develop a digital movie camera with pixels up to 4k and began to accept pre-orders. He ordered two units at that time, and the Sony hdc-f950 could no longer satisfy him. Red-One has not yet been delivered to the market. We will first give the prototype to those who are leaders in digital technology, like Peter Jackson. I hope they will publicly praise its usefulness after using it. I will give you some comments below, and it is best to order again. There are ten or eight of them.
It¡¯s been more than half a month since he got the machine, and he hasn¡¯t used it to take pictures yet. The parameters are very good, 2k pixels at 120 frames per second, 4k pixels at 30 frames per second, you can shoot and watch at any time, it is compact and exquisite, it is a hot little sweetheart, I need two more. The first movie in history shot with red-one? I just don¡¯t want to open this Pandora¡¯s box.
It was already past four in the afternoon when we arrived at the scheduled Mandeville Canyon Park and ran up the mountain. Ye Wei brought two collected MR lightsabers, gave Gia a green sword of Luke Skywalker, and held one for himself. Darth Vader's red sword. Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Gia didn't care about seniority.
The two stood ten steps apart on the wasteland on the top of the mountain, surrounded by open scenery. The blue sky cast fierce sunlight, taking away the dazzling light of the lightsaber.
Brian acted as a witness to this decisive battle, "Start!"
"Luke, I gave you life, now I give you death." Ye Wei said in a deep voice. Gia yelled: "I would rather be a Jedi hero than a slave of darkness!" Ye Wei rushed up with the lightsaber in both hands and struck her with one sword, "Ah!!!"
Gia also waved her lightsaber to resist, her eyebrows raised high, "Ouch!!"
The sound of lightsabers colliding with each other spread out, and green and blue lights brought out afterimages. The two fought wildly, and Brian was sweating coldly.
Although Gia was tall, how could she be his opponent? He didn't use any skills. After playing for a while, he used pure power to slash her, one sword after another. He was beaten so hard that he couldn't even hold his sword steady.
"Hahaha! Luke, you are a Luther." Ye Wei laughed wildly, raised the sword with his right hand to the sky, and raised the palm of his left hand to release the force.
"Look behind you, Natalie Portman!" Gia shouted in surprise. Just when Ye Wei looked back, she roared and slashed diagonally with her sword in both hands!
Ye Wei felt a blow on his back. Although the sword body and tip were round and his back muscles were very good, Gia's fatal blow still hurt. He screamed and fell on the weeds. The type fell to the ground.
Gia was so tired that she rested her sword on the ground and gasped, "Why do you think I called me Master?" Brian approached with some fear.
"Come on, Master Gia, scold me." Ye Wei looked at the white clouds floating in the sky. Gia was very interested in this: "How to scold me?" He was speechless: "I don't know. If I knew, would I still need you to scold me? You can say whatever you want."
"Hmm well, it's normal that your appeal failed." Gia thought and said, "I don't know much about the Premier League, but it is a top professional league. If you want to play, let you play? You have the ability. , but what would you think if someone else did this? Would you think it was a joke? Then why do you want to play it? The Premier League has been running smoothly for so many years, why do you want to play it for a few months? , the sun does not revolve around you, you are too self-righteous."
The more she spoke, the more cheerful she got, and she really scolded me: "You are spoiled, spoiled by your success! At first you told me that you were chasing your dreams, but now I see that you want to be in the limelight more, so you definitely can't play. I don¡¯t want to play anymore. Doesn¡¯t this mean that you only care about the results and don¡¯t care about the process? You know what you said in "Little Miss Sunshine", maybe you forgot! You can sign with Manchester United for a few years and appeal again next season. If it doesn¡¯t work, then appeal, then why don¡¯t you? Many players are like this, right? Others are just playing with their lives. It¡¯s much worse than you, right? Because you are just playing. If they reject you for this reason, what do you have to complain about"
"That's enough, that's enough." Ye Wei jumped up and walked back to the road, "Giya, I don't want to be scolded by you, this really makes me uncomfortable."
"Stand! I haven't scolded you enough." Gia caught up.
Ye Weiyi ran quickly, "It's not you. I'll find someone who scolds me and can't hurt me. Take my two lightsabers back to my office!"
"You must be stupid, they are my trophies."
After leaving the park, Ye Wei continued to wander. Lily, who had already finished school, called and asked where he was, but he still needed time and only said that he would find her before 10 p.m. He went home and went to find boys like Lev and Chen Nuo. They were very busy and cursed at random. He really didn't like being scolded by boys and didn't listen to a word.
It¡¯s almost six o¡¯clock and the sun is setting. He didn't have dinner with anyone, so he bought some fast food and sat on a chair on the street to eat, watching the passers-by and the vehicles on the road. Gia's scolding was not unreasonable. He only looked at the results of his efforts, but ignored the gains in the process and the improvement of himself from this experience.
There is something interesting about trying hard even though you know it will end in failure.
How many people in the world will surely bear fruit for their efforts? Most people work in vain, and these futile efforts shape ordinary people in the world. These struggles, endurance, failures, this kind of pain, there must be something that can be accumulated and sublime, and it must be precious.
People can deceive others, but they cannot deceive themselves. Success or failure, others have a set of definitions, and you also have a set of definitions in your own heart.
Ask yourself, if you don¡¯t go back to Carrington, this is definitely a failure. Going back to Carrington, it is possible to succeed, that is self-identity.
It¡¯s also a testament to others, and it¡¯s also charity work. The more jerseys sold, the more children will be helped.
Ye Wei had already made a vague decision, put down the hamburger in his hand, and couldn't eat this junk food. Then he suddenly thought of someone to scold him for, so he took out his phone and checked his address book and dialed a number, Brie Larson. She was an understudy for "Rui" and she didn't know it, but she had already joined "The Killing Hero".
He also wanted to see how she was doing now. The last time he saw her was at the draft last year.
After beeping several times, the other end was connected. Ye Wei smiled and called, "Hey, Bree, it's me, Ye Wei."
"Hi!" Brie Larson's voice seemed to be pretending to be calm, "Hello, Weige." Maybe she thought it was a "you're out, good luck" call.
"Where are you? Now." Ye Wei asked.
"I'm at home." Bree suppressed her doubts and said, "What's wrong?"
Ye Wei said truthfully: "Can I go to your house to find you now? There are several reasons. One is that I want to find you to scold me, and the other is that except for my girlfriend's house, I haven't been to any girl's house for a long time. , Third, I want to see you, we haven't seen each other for a long time." The silent Bree should be stunned, he shrugged, that was indeed the case.
"I don't quite understand" Bree smiled awkwardly.
¡°Then you don¡¯t need to understand it now, okay or not?¡±
"Okay." Bree thought for two seconds, "I'm very happy to do things for you."
"Oh, thank you, I'll be there right away." Ye Wei stood up to leave and asked, "Where is your home address?"
¡¡
??Brie Larson¡¯s surname is not actually Larson. She was born on October 1, 1989 in Sacramento, California, and her name is Brianna Sidonie DeZonier.
Both her parents were masseurs, and she told her mother "I want to be an actress" when she was 3 years old. She started studying drama at the age of 6. Her parents divorced soon after, and she and her sister Missy both followed their mother. Just after her ninth birthday, her mother remarried and they moved to Santa Clarita, a small town in the northwest suburbs of Los Angeles. This town has a population of 150,000 and is relatively underdeveloped, but its industry is prosperous. Her stepfather is an industrial video photographer.
Santa Clarita is not far from Hollywood, just over half an hour¡¯s drive.
She got an opportunity that she didn't have in her hometown. In the same year, she appeared in two skits on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and then acted in two episodes. The following year, she continued her work and acted in two more episodes, both of which were small roles in different TV series. A supporting role, and also acted in the movie "Special Express" for the first time, with a budget of 2.5 million but no screen release.
I was really unlucky at that time. She won a series regular role on Fox and comedian Robert Schimmel's new series Schimmel. Before filming, Schimmel was diagnosed with cancer, and the series was "on hold" for 10 years. A few months later, Fox announced its cancellation.
It all happened under the stage name Brie Larson. The stage name she chose herself, desaulniers, was too difficult to pronounce, and her Swedish grandmother's larson was much better. But her native language is French because her grandparents?French Canadian.
Brie was very lucky. After continuing to play small roles in dramas and TV movies, she starred in the new drama "Single Dad" as a regular role for two seasons and 22 episodes until it was cancelled. By the way, Kate Dennings was in the drama. Her sisters are played in the middle, and they are pretty good. She also acted in a Disney TV movie "Racing Girls", and also played small supporting roles in "All Night Long" and "Girls Dream of 30", but she didn't make a big impact, and as she grew up, she became not pretty enough. A round face used to be called an apple, but now it's called a pie. She wouldn't get a role in "High School Musical." He can also act in family comedy, and is one of the leading actors in Kennedy/Marshall and Walden Media's 15 million budget "I Love Owls".
In fact, she is good at singing, and everyone has an interest in singing. She is a composer and lyricist. In 2003, when she was 14 years old, she promoted her songs through her personal website. If you want her to tell, Ye Wei started singing on Tube much later than she did. This publicity attracted attention, and she signed a contract with Universal Music. It initially seemed to be a big success. She continued to publish songs online and was quite popular. She also received an official release from iAss and reached No. 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart. . She became a singer, attending many live performances and being a guest on Jesse McCartney's tour.
The future is bright? Her first album was released in October 2005. All 13 songs were composed by her. She felt like her conquest of the music world would begin from here. 3,500 copies were sold. It turns out her popularity is just that. She has not ended her music career and continues to make new songs, but she has no hope of becoming a singer for the time being.
With such an identity and story, Bree participated in the viy audition early last year. She had no target role and would win whatever she could. Although she was the only veteran actor in her group who was a union actor, she only received an unsuccessful email from Ye Wei personally, saying that she was good and suggesting that she work harder. Is that a courtesy? Never figured it out.
¡°Then I Love Owls¡± was released in April. It opened in more than 3,000 theaters and grossed more than 1,000 US dollars per theater. In the end, it only had a North American box office of 8.11 million, plus an overseas box office of 100,000 in Mexico and Spain. Acting was also a mess, and her first starring role on the screen might be her last.
This once again made her doubt whether she was really suitable for acting, but she was sure that she could not do without creation, so she studied photography, interior design, crafts, writing, songwriting, painting, directing, cooking I did both and also learned some animal training.
She didn¡¯t go to school since she was a child, and she grew up in a family with a strict teacher. But she really doesn't yearn for school, school dance? Not interested. Watch a sports game and shout cheers? Not interested. Looking for a handsome guy to fall in love with? Not interested. What she wanted was to chew gum all day long, draw pictures on the walls of her bedroom, and do messy crafts. This was her high school.
In a way, Bree felt like a weirdo who stayed in her room at home all day.
¡°The kind of weirdo who would create an elaborate slideshow about why she should cry or scream to get something done. God knows why, she thought it was cool looking at a slideshow like that, made by herself.
It¡¯s been so cool for a year, no new movies, no albums, just some weird stuff. She didn't go to auditions everywhere. She wanted to figure out her heart first. Should she continue acting? If so, which role would be the opportunity she had been waiting for her whole life? The outside world is not waiting for her, and a group of supernova future girls are born.
Then at the beginning of this month, a film and television agent suddenly called and excitedly said that Ye Wei invited her to join a project called "Killing Heroes". There was no script, only a more detailed introduction than the outline of the story. The director and editor were both Ye Wei's friend Santiago Yang. Burrard.
It happened so suddenly, and she had to make a quick decision. She didn't even say a word to Youngblood, and she didn't see his short film, but Ye Wei said: "That guy is more lonely than Terrence Malick." , you can¡¯t see him, I guarantee he knows how to make movies.¡±
Completely out of her superstition for Ye Wei, she decided to join the R-level thriller project with a budget of 500,000 yuan from the new company "Young and Vibrant Picture (Allure-Blood-Picture)". The intended remuneration is 10,000 yuan a week. This is not a formal contract. She can resign at any time, and the project cannot be launched until crowdfunding is completed. The number of weeks of filming and the schedule cannot be determined.
As soon as she signed the letter of intent, she was stunned. Youngblood called her
"Why me?" Bree couldn't figure it out. She believed that even if she got zero pay, all the young actresses of the right age would be able to fight to the end. Why should she be cast?
¡°Because I¡¯m very fussy about employing people, I want to try using you.¡±
In this way, Bree joined "Killing Heroes". She didn't know if this was the opportunity she had been waiting for. Anyway, having him was a good opportunity.
But after spotpass went online, there was no movement at all. It refreshed every day and it was zero, which was worse than the sales of the album. This really made her feel a little disappointed. She didn'tBig fan? In order to prevent the project from aborting, she kept it secret and mobilized family and friends to invest, but the confidentiality hindered progress.
Yesterday, Oscar, and suddenly this evening, Ye Wei called. She felt that the "Schmidt" incident was going to happen again. She was angry with Oscar, failed to get the labor certificate, Ye Wei stopped playing, "Killing Heroes" was not filmed, and he wanted to gather the core future girls to make a new film As a result He said he was looking for her to scold him.
Bree is weird enough, so she¡¯s okay with it, okay!
When she put down her phone and walked out of the bedroom, it was as if she pressed the fast forward button on the "Remote Control of Life":
She ran downstairs and shouted that Ye Wei was coming. Her sister, mother, and stepfather all looked stupid. She explained and explained. In the chaos, the roar of the sports car came, and Missy screamed and opened the door to greet her. When Ye Wei came in, everyone said hello and talked about Oscar. Ye Wei said something that made everyone laugh like crazy. When we got to the living room, "2001: A Space Odyssey" came on for some reason. Her stepfather loved this movie the most. It was no exaggeration to say that he would watch it every day on an infinite loop. This was not surprising, as it was the coolest movie of their time.
But when she came back to her senses, the most puzzling thing was
Ye Wei was lying on a massage table with her upper body naked, watching TV intently. Her mother was massaging him, squeezing his strong shoulder muscles, and he screamed out in comfort: "Ah too much." Brilliant, oh great! Heather, your skills are better than the masseuse at the Manchester United training center, your hands are magical Wow"
"Hehehe." Her mother smiled happily. It has been many years since her mother gave a massage to anyone other than her family.
Ye Wei is obviously also a fan of "2001: A Space Odyssey" and discusses it with her stepfather from time to time: "Man, I get goosebumps every time I hear this music." He was talking about the requiem-for-soprano when the Black Slate appeared. -mezzo-soprano. Her stepfather agreed: ¡°I¡¯ve listened to it for so many years and I still get scared every time I hear it, but I just can¡¯t live without it!¡±
Bree is actually covered in pimples now.
"It's great. Destiny allows me to watch it at this time and enjoy a great massage. I'm so lucky" Ye Wei said softly.
Missy is a sensible girl who knows how to help her sister seize the opportunity to express herself. She smiled and said, "Brie also likes watching this movie, but she prefers watching foreign movies. She always watches foreign movies."
After being kicked by Missy, Bree came to her senses completely and said: "Well, yes, like Jean-Luc Godard's movies, especially "Women Are Women", and P.J. Hogan's " Muriel¡¯s Wedding, with Akira Kurosawa and John Cassavetes.¡±
"Cool, it's all very cool." Ye Wei didn't know if he was listening, as his attention seemed to be entirely on the TV screen.
Of course Bree hopes to become friends with Ye Wei, at least she won¡¯t let her clumsiness miss the opportunity. What if this is a different kind of audition? She needs to perform well in front of the 19-year-old big shot. He added: "Stanley Kubrick's mise-en-sc¨¨ne is magical."
"Yes, shush How about we stop talking?" Ye Wei said in a sincere tone, "Watch the movie quietly."
"Oh, okay." Bree agreed, shaking her head at Missy, so as not to be a disservice. She felt that the reason for being criticized was not because of her words, but because she said nonsense.
This made the atmosphere in the living room a little tense, but Ye Wei remained unrestrained. After enjoying a massage, she slowly got up and put on her T-shirt. She sat side by side with her stepfather on the sofa and watched a movie together, sighing from time to time. , it lasted more than two hours.
Seeing astronaut Bowman having to destroy the out-of-control spacecraft intelligent system Hal 9000 computer, Ye Wei began to cry; seeing the most famous interstellar passage, his eyes did not blink and he breathed heavily; Then Bauman arrived at the mysterious room. He saw himself aging in the mirror. He saw an old man sitting at a table with his back to eat. When the old man turned around, it was Bauman himself. The old man walked out of the room. Outside, in the same room, he went to the dining table to eat, and accidentally broke the wine glass. He turned around and saw an old man with no white hair lying on the bed at some point. It was himself, on the bed. Bowman raised his finger, and he saw the black slate appear on the opposite side of the bed. He turned into a baby in a ball of light, and the subjective lens pushed towards the black slate, as if he had entered
Also-sprach-zarathtra sounded, and the camera focused on the moon in the universe, and moved downwards. The earth appeared on the right side of the frame, and on the left was a baby of the same size. Bowman, he was back on the earth, and he was looking at it. Touching the earth.
Bree was sitting next to Ye Wei. At such a close distance, she could see that every pore on his arms was standing up. When the last scene came, his eyes were full of tears, but his face was smiling until the end of the film. Casting information, he and her stepfather just screamed!
¡°It¡¯s so shocking!¡± he said.
"This is?The motivation to stay alive. " said her stepfather.
Bree took the opportunity to express her opinion: "It should have the shadow of fairy tales." She seemed to be right, Ye Wei looked at her and said: "How do you say it?" She was asked, she likes to read fairy tales, when it comes to research But not yet, he rolled his eyes and said, "I just feel that it has no source of ancient stories, even though it is one of the most classic science fiction."
No one else had anything to say. Although her stepfather was obsessed with this movie, he was more interested in reminiscing about his youth and appreciating the story itself. Movies like this, "Women Are Women", "Rashomon", etc. are all very rich, complex and difficult to understand, and they can't really understand them. She actually enjoys the fact that she is the person who knows the most about movies in her family, but in front of Ye Wei
Seeing that no one was speaking, Ye Wei said excitedly: "I agree with you! I think this stems from all mythological stories about gods wanting to destroy the world. I said this entirely out of movies and mythology. Please forgive me if there is any offense. In " In the Genesis of the Old Testament of the Bible, God regretted the creation of man because he saw that all humans on the earth were evil, and wanted to destroy all created life. Only the favored Noah, his wife, children, and some animals survived. Later, the flood really destroyed the world. Such myths can be found in all civilizations around the world. Just like in Chinese mythology, the God of Water and the God of Fire fought because of their grudges. The God of Water lost and he angrily threw a stick to support the heaven and earth. The pillars were broken, the sky was pierced, and floods were everywhere. If another goddess who created humans had not repaired the sky, it would have been all over. Therefore, disasters and life are relative, and gods and humans are also relative. "
"Yes." Bree nodded, which is easy to understand.
Ye Wei said like a machine gun again: "Are human beings evil? Maybe. But human beings and the entire earth, all these, what do they mean to God? I am a fan of the movie and the original work of "2001: A Space Odyssey", and I co-authored it to understand it. That baby is called Star Child. Star Child is an advanced being in the universe, which can also be said to be a god. They use enlightenment tools like the Black Slate to sow the seeds of civilization everywhere in the galaxy. Like the earth, apes become enlightened. Humans. These accidentally civilized planets will produce a kind of civilized energy, which they will harvest on a regular basis. Bowman has transformed from a human into a star child in that room. He can also sow and harvest, and then evolve further. What was the first person to try his hand at? With a thought, he returned to the earth. It was just a shiny toy to him. The people on the earth were frightened, and they quickly fired missiles at him. He just thought about it. , half of the earth exploded into ruins, it was finished, and the world was ending for the people on earth.
Can you say that God is cruel? Like God, like other world-destroying gods, no! I don't think they are cruel, they just don't care. What does the earth mean to them? Is it cruel when you pick vegetables that you grow and eat them?
I think the ancient humans looked up at the sky and modern humans looked at the universe outside the earth. Their moods were no different. They all understood and felt their own insignificance. It is a kind of loneliness, confusion, and fear that coexists with human civilization and is integrated into the DNA of life on earth or deep in the soul. The ancients were afraid that one day the world would end suddenly, because gods no longer like humans, gods would fight, or gods would bring disasters; modern people are afraid that one day a more advanced alien civilization would invade the earth and destroy us, or comets would pierce the sky. It's hitting the earth, and the sun is about to explode. Is there a difference? But such a god, such an advanced alien civilization, such a world-ending disaster, and this star boy are none other than humans themselves. It is our own fear of the unknown, our cruelty, our will that creates gods, aliens, and demons. It is actually humans who are destroying the earth. This is what I saw from "2001: A Space Odyssey" as its soul, the eternal human side. I'm done. "
There was silence in the living room until Missy clapped her hands and Bree nodded: "Yeah" Her stepfather was the one who was frightened. Her mother stood like a black stone.
She wanted to ask, suddenly a great director came to your house out of nowhere, and the whole family watched a movie with him, and then he babbled something that basically no one could understand, and there were no slides to explain it! How are you feeling?
"Uh I'm sorry, I've been doing physical work lately." Ye Wei shrugged, "I've been feeling stuffed in my head for a while. Bree, can we talk?"
"Of course." Bree nodded. If you don't understand, you don't need to understand.
She took Ye Wei to her bedroom upstairs. She knew it was weird, but if there was a place where he could get to know her as soon as he stepped into it, it would be her room.
