On the second day after completing all the filming work of the movie, Wang Yang returned all the rented furniture and electrical appliances so that he could add 3,000 yuan to the gold. For this reason, he called Joshua to help, and the boy was miserable again, but he was still not lazy.

After returning the furniture, the next day Wang Yang received a call from the owner of the "Leave Beautiful" camera equipment store, Fank Sber, who said that the broken DV machine had been repaired and had not been sent back to the original factory, and that the DV machine had been repaired when it was delivered to Sony's repair station in Los Angeles, so it was a few days faster than expected. The reason why the DV is damaged is that the small circuit board connected to the battery is broken, so the battery is in poor contact, resulting in the DV machine not being able to turn on.

The repair cost cost fifty US dollars, which also made Wang Yang breathe a sigh of relief, which he could afford.

got back 950 pressure money from Vank Sber, plus 3,000 on the furniture side, Wang Yang used all this money to pay the remaining half of Zachary and Rachel's 4,000 yuan salary, and completely eliminated the crisis of unpaid wages.

However, as a result, Wang Yang only had less than 500 US dollars left in his pocket, which was not enough to maintain a month's living expenses. He needs money, because the distribution of movies has a long way to go, not a matter of one or two days, he has to go to major film distribution companies to run, promote himself, and try his luck until a company appreciates his film and gives him a chance.

It takes time, maybe a month, maybe two months, maybe the first time he goes to a Hollywood studio, and some companies say, "We want this movie"; or maybe he goes to all the Hollywood companies, and those companies say "no."

And during this time, no matter how diligent and frugal he was, if there was no money coming into his account one after another, the five hundred dollars would always be spent one day.

But Wang Yang didn't look for a job for the time being, because he had to do the post-editing of the film first, which is what he has been doing in the past few days.

How important is the post-editing of a film? Editing is no simpler and easier than shooting, which again requires a lot of patience. The film material is selected, assembled, and then compiled into a smooth movie, and the editing can be said to be the second creation of the whole work, with different lens combinations, length of time, etc., and the resulting film effect is completely different.

If it's a blockbuster, you also need to consider dubbing, soundtrack, color, and a whole host of other things. Therefore, the general post-production work is very cumbersome, and the more beautiful the results come up, the more time it takes to process.

However, "Smart - Ghost Shadow First Record" is a DV movie, and it is a pseudo-documentary, so there is no soundtrack, and you don't have to pay attention to the color of the picture. Wang Yang only needs to combine a movie by selecting the filmed materials. This requires almost zero technology, and he can use Sony's built-in DV editing software, in Joshua's words, the five-year-old Mary in his neighbor's house.

Wang Yang shot nearly 300 minutes of satisfying footage, including a lot of flashes of inspiration and temporary additions, most of which were shots of different performances, such as Rachel's smile when performing a certain piece of content, laughing neuroticly, he was satisfied, laughing dementia, he was satisfied. The current editing work is to ask him to make a choice, which can only be cut to a standard film length of about 90 minutes.

Of course, he also needs to add some black pictures with only captions between some scenes and time transitions in the movie to make it easier to watch.

In the past few days, Jessica came once, quietly watched Wang Yang edit the movie, stayed for a while, and left without wanting to disturb him. While Zachary reluctantly returned to his old life, working part-time at a supermarket and trying his luck when he had an audition opportunity, Rachel had not yet returned to Toronto, and she said that she would wait for Wang Yang to cut the movie and watch the finished product as soon as possible before leaving Los Angeles.

"Hey, it's seven o'clock?" Wang Yang, who was sitting in front of the computer, was busy all day, and accidentally looked at the time in the lower right corner of the screen, only to find that it was already more than 7 o'clock in the evening. He put down the mouse, stood up and stretched, and threw a few punches in his hand, when he suddenly felt a burst of hunger, and went to the kitchen to find something to eat.

The new freezer had been returned, and the kitchen was now back to its old dilapidated state, he opened the wooden cabinet and took out a cup of instant noodles and tore it open, poured hot water from the thermos flask, and after a while, he took the prepared instant noodles to the broken sofa in the hall and sat down, and ate hungrily.

At this time, the phone rang. Wang Yang thought it was Jessica's, but when he took out his mobile phone, he saw that the caller ID was Rachel. Rachel: She's not in the habit of calling at this time. Wang Yang swallowed the noodles in his mouth, answered them suspiciously, and said with a smile: "Hello, is it Rachel?"

"Hi Jan, yes, it's me. It was Rachel's voice that greeted her and asked, "How's the movie going?"

Wang Yang chewed the noodles and said: "It's okay, this work is a process of non-stop combination, just like when you go to a clothing store to buy clothes, try this, try that, and then buy what you are satisfied with." He smiled and said excitedly, "Hey, I've already cut more than half of it, and I expect you to see the final movie in two days." ”

"Wow, really?" Rachel then didn't say, "I'm looking forward to it," but sighed and said, "But, I'm going to see it for a while." ”

Wang Yang frowned when he heard this, what happened to Rachel? He put down the instant noodle cup and asked with concern, "Are you leaving Los Angeles?"

Rachel said "um", in a low tone, and said worriedly: "My mother has acute appendicitis, so I'm going to rush back to Toronto, tonight's plane." Wang Yang couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh, my God, is my aunt okay? Are you okay?" Rachel smiled lightly, making him feel relieved: "No problem, thank you for your concern." She was very good, and she was also very energetic on the phone just now, but there was a little pain in her abdomen. The doctor said that her appendix was not perforated or suppurated, but just simple appendicitis, and that there was nothing wrong with it, just a minor operation. ”

Wang Yang nodded, comforted her, and said: "Well, then don't worry too much, you know, the doctor has to leave a way back for himself when he speaks, and now they say that the aunt is fine, then it must be fine." Rachel thanked him, "Jan, I know, I'm fine." Wang Yang smiled: "Okay, when the movie is cut, I will send it to you as soon as possible." By the way, what time are you on your flight tonight?"

"Boarding starts at 10 o'clock. Rachel replied. Wang Yang looked at the time, it was only half past seven, and then asked, "Is it a flight from LAX (Los Angeles International Airport)?" After receiving Rachel's affirmative answer, Wang Yang stood up and said with a smile: "It's still too late, I'll send you off the plane." Rachel let out a soft "wow" and smiled again, "Thank you, Jan." But no, it's so late. ”

Although Rachel said no, Wang Yang had already made up his mind. Rachel has helped him a lot during this time, and he has always been grateful. Now that something has happened to her mother, she has to rush back to Canada, and as her friend, he can't let Rachel leave alone. Wang Yang walked to the computer and turned it off, and said with a smile: "Please, you said it was late, I have already set off." ”

"Oh!" Rachel laughed, and when she could hear that he was determined to come to see off the plane, she felt a warm feeling in her heart, so she nodded, "Then I'll wait for you in the waiting hall, the second waiting room." ”

Turning off the computer, Wang Yang hurriedly put on his trench coat and put on his sneakers, and asked, "Have you told Zachary and Jessica?" ”

"I've already told them that you're the last person I noticed. Rachel snorted, and then said seriously: "Yang, it's good for you to come, I don't want to disturb others." ”

"OK!" Wang Yang hung up the phone, took the wallet key and walked out quickly.

From the apartment to Los Angeles International Airport, instead of driving by himself, the best way is naturally to take a taxi, but that costs dozens of dollars, with Wang Yang's current situation of one dollar as ten dollars, he naturally will not choose, he chose a bus to the airport, which cost 6 dollars.

The night view of Los Angeles is very beautiful, but as it drove out of the city, there was nothing to see on the highway, and after more than an hour of travel, Wang Yang finally came to the second standby hall of LAX at nearly half past nine.

In the lounge area in front of a boarding gate in the waiting hall, Wang Yang found Rachel, she was wearing black clothes, a gray velvet hat on her head, and her pale blonde hair showed out of the brim.

After getting off the bus, he rushed all the way over, Wang Yang couldn't help but gasp a little, and only slowed down when he saw Rachel and said with a smile: "Hey, Rachel! It's okay, it's too late to ......."

"Hey!" Rachel smiled slightly, looked at Wang Yang who was standing stupidly panting, couldn't help laughing, and pulled him to the chair to sit down: "Why are you running like yourself, I still have more than half an hour to board the plane, isn't it?"

"Oh, don't worry about that, I'm an athlete. Wang Yang waved his hand, he looked at the small suitcase at Rachel's feet, and said with a smile: "Wow, I guess there is a finished paper hidden in it." ”

Rachel shrugged her shoulders and said, "Four thousand dollars." Both of them couldn't help laughing, Wang Yang smiled: "No, I guess it's not that much, you still have to pay commissions and taxes." The two laughed again, and Rachel said softly, "Seriously, Jan, I've gained a lot these days, I've learned a lot, and I've made a few good friends." Before coming to Los Angeles this time, I had to choose between Los Angeles and New York, and then I chose Los Angeles, which was the most correct choice for me. ”

Wang Yang pretended to be helpless and said, "Okay, letting you be the heroine of my movie is also the most correct choice for me." ”

"Yes, thank you!" Rachel smiled and glanced at him, recalling the scene on the day of the audition, and said with a smile: "But on the day of the audition, I just had the intention of going to see it, and I didn't expect to be the heroine." She leaned over to Wang Yang and whispered mysteriously, "Yang, do you know? The poster you put on the job board is really ugly, and at first I thought it was some kind of deceptive information." ”

Wang Yang said curiously: "Then why do you believe me?" Rachel shrugged her shoulders and said, "As soon as I saw you, I knew it wasn't a lie." Wang Yang asked, "Why?" Rachel looked at him and smiled slightly, and said, "There is a force in you, and it will only appear in sincere people." Wang Yang said with a look of surprise: "Are you stupid?"

Rachel laughed and slapped him and said, "No, don't tease me all day." What I want to say is momentum, you are very passionate, and at first glance you are a person who really does things. Wang Yang shook his head and said, "Rachel, you can't judge people by their appearance like this, you will suffer a loss." Rachel spread her hands and smiled, "Okay, but I'm rarely mistaken, it's a talent." ”

Both of them laughed, and Rachel asked with concern, "Yang, do you have any plans next?" After this time of getting along, she also knew the general situation of Wang Yang, but what she didn't know was that Wang Yang only had less than five hundred dollars left.

Wang Yang's expression became serious, he looked at the crowd in the distance of the waiting hall, and said, "Next, after the movie is cut, I will go to Hollywood, promote myself, and work hard to release our film to the big screen." That's what I'm going to do. ”

Rachel nodded silently, looked at his face, and said slowly: "This is something that has never happened before, all this you do is innovating, I know it must be difficult, maybe no one will appreciate you, maybe someone will laugh at you." But......" she took a deep breath, exhaled, and said encouragingly: "Young, you must keep your faith!

"Well, thank you Rachel. Wang Yang nodded emphatically, there was a fire burning in his heart, Rachel's words made him surge, yes, no matter how difficult the road ahead was, he had to keep his confidence! He smiled: "Don't worry, I have long been ready for everything, and there is nothing to sink me." You know, you can kill me, but you just can't beat me!"

Hearing Wang Yang quote Hemingway's famous sentence in "The Old Man and the Sea", looking at his confident appearance, Rachel couldn't help but smile reassuringly and said, "I know, you are a tough guy." ”

"Then you too, go back to Toronto and continue to practice your acting skills better. Wang Yang winked at her and said, "Believe me, you will become a big star sooner or later." Rachel covered her mouth and smiled, "Wow, that's a joy to say." ”

If it weren't for Wang Yang's appearance, she would have wanted to continue studying for a master's degree after graduating from York University, or her teacher encouraged her to go to the theater and film and television development, so she slowly stepped onto the big screen.

The two chatted for a while, and before they knew it, the time had come to almost ten o'clock, when the waiting hall sounded a radio voice reminding them to board: "Passengers of flight AC794, please start boarding...... Passengers of flight AC794 please start boarding......" As the announcement sounded, the passengers waiting for boarding in the rest area stood up one after another, said goodbye to their friends who came to see them off, and walked into the boarding gate.

Because the boarding time was close to half an hour, Rachel and Wang Yang chatted for a while, and when they saw that the time was almost up, she stood up, dragged her suitcase, and said calmly: "I have to go." ”

Wang Yang also stood up, nodded and said, "Rachel, have a good trip." ”

Rachel looked at him, suddenly with a little sadness in her eyes, and asked, "Will we see each other again?"

Wang Yang smiled angrily and said, "Please, what do you say, it's 1998, and it only takes seven or eight hours to travel from Los Angeles to Toronto." Saying that, he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart, maybe it was just a normal emotion when parting, maybe he was actually reluctant to let Rachel go, maybe it was really happy when they got along.

"Yes, the power of technology. Rachel laughed.

"Passengers of flight AC794, please start boarding, the boarding gate closes in five minutes......" The voice of the announcement sounded again.

Wang Yang looked at her and said, "You have to go." He stretched out his hands and hugged her gently, and smiled, "Rachel, I'm glad to meet you." ”

"Me too, being able to get to know you is the biggest takeaway from coming to Los Angeles. Rachel gave him a deep look and smiled, "Jan, goodbye!" as she pushed her luggage towards the gate.

The two sweet dimples on her cheeks could not hide the sadness in her eyes, she didn't know when she would be able to see Wang Yang again after today, she remembered that she had worked hard for the movie together in the past few days, the laughter and laughter every day, and the dancing in the bar that day...... When she was about to walk into the boarding gate, she stopped, turned around to look at Wang Yang not far away, and said loudly: "Yang, I look forward to seeing our movie in the cinema." I know that day will come and when the time comes, we will see you again!"

She waved her hand and smiled, "Bye-bye, Jan!"

Wang Yang smiled and waved his hand, watching her walk into the boarding gate, the figure disappeared around the corner, and the feeling in his heart was indescribable, Rachel...... Good bye!
