"Good morning, students, the new week has begun, and welcome back to Harvard-Westlake Middle School, where the Saperstein Theatre ......"

"Today, for our first guest of November, we are honored to have the famous blues band 'Louisiana Gator Boys' perform as part of the soundtrack for the 2ooo film 'Blues Brothers 2ooo'......"

A burst of microphone announcements came, getting closer and closer, like a giant hammer hitting Ye Wei's mind, stirring up thousands of waves. There are also whispered conversations and chuckles from afar, like the background sound of a movie, all buzzing, but they can't be heard clearly.

"No, I can't die! The debts at home have not been resolved, my mother is still working hard, and my sister's tuition fees are not paid, ......all of which need to be borne by me! And I haven't fulfilled my father's last wish, I haven't been able to become a real film director, I don't ......"

"I still have so much to do......"

"I can't die yet!!"

Ye Wei felt so uncomfortable, the sharp pain in his chest made him unable to breathe, and his consciousness fell into a daze for a while, intermittently ......

Suddenly, as if the radio had been rewound to its head, with a crisp "click", there seemed to be some great force pulling him back from the darkness. Ye Wei felt that his whole person instantly regained his strength, and he couldn't help but shout out with all his might: "No, !!!!!"

In the next second, all the sounds disappeared, the darkness receded, and there was a sudden light in front of him, and the picture of the field of vision regained focus, and Ye Wei saw the scene.

However, when he blinked and saw the surrounding Yiqiē clearly, he couldn't help but froze.

It's impossible not to be stunned......

Because at this time, more than 700 people in this spacious theater, whether it was young students, teachers and other teaching staff, the audience was silent, everyone was looking at him in surprise, the audience was silent!

no？no-haT？

In the middle of the curtain in front of the big stage, the old principal Tom Hednat's right hand holding the microphone was trembling, and the top of his bald head was almost bursting out of his head with anger, and his black wrinkled old face frightened many junior students!

And the old lady at the bottom of the stage, the principal of the junior high school, Jenny Highbridge, was also dumbfounded, not to mention the teacher Grace Essie next to her.

She stared blankly at the guy who shouted to stand up, and her helpless voice kept ringing: "It's you again, it's you again!" Ye Wei, it's you again, it's you demon again!"

Ye Wei (Vigor-Ivan-yeah), male, born on February 19, 1988, is a third-generation Chinese immigrant.

This is one of the ninth graders she is in charge of, a very, very "unique" student!

Like all the students at Harvard-Westlake, he had a privileged family in the affluent Brentwood neighborhood of West Los Angeles, his father was a dentist with a private practice, his mother was a full-time housewife, both humble and courteous, and he had a three-year-old sister whom she had just met at the Homecoming event the other day, and she was lovely and well-bred with a good upbringing.

But this guy, he's different!

He is the black sheep in a group of Aries, as an Asian student, he is as smart and talented as the Aries, but his cleverness is not used in academics, his grades in all subjects are always only C, when he is asked to work harder, he swaggers and says, "Just pass, no one is perfect." "Justified!

This kid seems to know a little bit about everything, and he doesn't seem to be able to do anything, except for being very good at football, there are no other highlights......

That's for learning and getting down to business, if it's naughty, troublesome, and ruined, he's good at everything.

A spoiled kid! A teenager with too much energy!

Look at the things he often does that make people laugh and cry, such as when he was in the seventh grade, shortly after he entered the school, he took the lead in protesting and donating activities, and finally forced the school to add a cooking master to the cafeteria, which is where he used his cleverness.

Because of this, Ye Wei is quite famous in school, and the Asian American student community even worships him as king, and he has a nickname called "VIy", which is both an acronym of his name and the title of a very old horror film, which means: the spirit of the devil;

Thankfully, he doesn't bully others or do anything bad, in fact, with him as a "oligarch", there is a lot less bullying in school.

There is a saying among Asian American students, "If you're being bullied, look for VIy." ”

But his previous mischief behavior would not be punished, and that was also his cleverness, and now he dared to do so at the Monday rally......

Does he want to be fired?

"Oh, oh......" The old headmaster was so angry that he couldn't speak, and he was panting as if he were about to have a heart attack.

As the principal of the whole school, he is in charge of more than 15oo people, and he doesn't know these junior high school ghosts as well as the teachers, he only knows that this is the first time to have this kind of thing!

Since the merger of Harvard Boys' School and Westlake Girls' School, he, who has been the principal for more than ten years, has presided over countless junior high school Monday assemblies, and this is the first time that such a terrible thing has happened!

It is stated in the student handbook that it is strictly forbidden for students to scream or shout during assemblies, and only after receiving prompts and approval can they express enthusiasm with applause.

In the past, the strictest violation of discipline was nothing more than a whistle...... You know, this is Harvard-Westlake, not a broken school without tradition, discipline, and honor!

Who's that, who's that black sheep!?

The faculty and staff all have this unanimous anger, and what worries them even more is that looseness is contagious!

"Who's that?", "Looks like it's VIy in 9th grade, oh yes, it's him!"

Many students were talking in whispers, and there was an undercurrent of excitement: "I know him! He is the only one, I am his friend!" Doubts: "Oh my God, what does he want to do?" and chuckles: "Smoking weed?" haha, I love him!"

"What are you surprised about, have you forgotten, he has done more daring things, at the Homecoming Festival in September, he is a ninth-grader, a freshman just now, a child!

"Oh, what happened?"

Of course, the queen ignored him, but those eleventh and twelfth graders were so angry that they wanted to fix him, and as a result, he gathered dozens of people, and almost something serious happened. ”

"I remember, too, this guy is crazy! By the way, did he still auction an out-of-print comic book for $20,000 at the school's 'annual event'?"

"Yes, that's him! His family is quite rich, and the most important thing is that he is generous! Many people call him Boss. ”

"Quiet, quiet!"

Hednatt hurriedly stopped the commotion in the audience, looked at the demon student, and recognized it, although he was angry, he still gave him a chance to speak, and they could also use it to educate the students. He asked, "What do you want to say, that classmate who said no?" Give him a microphone. ”

A teacher walked briskly with a microphone.

Where everyone's eyes were focused, Ye Wei looked around over and over again, his face was full of shock, and it was difficult to calm down, look at these people, here, here......

At this time, he noticed the red and black school emblem on the stage curtain, Harvard-Westlake! This is the school he attended when he was a teenager, the on-campus theater of Harvard-Westlake Junior High School!

How could he be here, how could it be!?

What's even worse is that everyone in the audience is looking at him as if this is his concert, with all kinds of eyes, curious, hateful, and praised......

"Don't you have anything to say?" came the old headmaster's unkind words.

"Uh...... Uh......" Ye Wei took the microphone from the teacher with one hand, and pressed his chest habitually with the other, of course he is here, today Monday.

Wait, isn't it Wednesday night? He was just shot in the chest because of a fight with a gangster? Was that a dream a dream? Or was it a dream now? He couldn't tell the difference.

But now is really not the time to think, he remembered the words of the principal he heard just now, although he couldn't figure out the situation for the time being, he also replied seriously: "I'm Ye Wei." In fact, "Blues Brothers 2ooo" is not a 2ooo film, although it has 2ooo in its title, it was released in 1998, and this situation is like "2oo1: A Space Odyssey" released in 1968......"

There was silence again.

Within two seconds, it turned into a burst of laughter, and no matter how much the staff shouted, most of the students couldn't stop laughing and didn't want to stop.

"Hahaha, dude, amazing!" Not far from Ye Wei's right hand, a white fat man gave a smirk and gave a thumbs up, and not far away, a white student with a big nose made a whistling mouth shape, raised his hands and made a gesture to indicate 6 (VI), as Wei's friend, greatly stained!

There are also countless Asian students, students of all races, laughing wildly!

Harvard Westlake is a multiracial, multicultural private school, with about 7o% of the students in the school being white, 2o% Asian, and 1o% African-American, Latino and other ethnic groups.

Now Ye Wei is not only VIy, but also everyone's hero, this is a rebellion without a cause.

"Quiet, quiet......" The old headmaster was a little embarrassed, and quickly took out a small note from his pocket and looked at it, it was estimated that there was no record on it, and he looked at Hybrecht, this series of actions caused everyone's laughter to be even louder.

After reading the guest resume in her hand, Hybrechtz nodded helplessly.

A prestigious school is always a prestigious school, and the students quickly converged, and the principal is the principal after all, Hednatt was immediately very calm, and after getting the answer, he said frankly: "Yes, but it is right." I just made a mistake, and I apologize to the guests and everyone, I'm sorry. ”

The old principal's handling was very graceful, and everyone was respectful in their hearts, but at the same time, Ye Wei had a violent headache, and his eyes were blurred, was he really dreaming?

I was shot in the ...... He repeatedly touched his intact chest and muttered, "I'm not dead, I'm still alive?"

"Hahaha!" The theater that had just calmed down burst into laughter again, and others thought he was humorous.

I didn't expect the old principal to come too: "If you don't close your mouth and sit down, it's going to be soon." ”

The laughter suddenly became more cheerful, and there was applause, and even the faculty and staff were smiling, of course, still urging everyone to stop: "Guys, enough is enough, enough trouble." ”

"Well, don't laugh, although he corrected my mistakes, his expression was inappropriate and rude. The correct thing to do is that he reports this mistake to the teacher in charge of his class, and then the teacher sues me, and I will explain it to everyone after the guest's performance is over. Therefore, he will only receive a small punishment. ”

Ye Wei is out of the limelight this time, what is a little punishment? Many students feel that it is worth it, and they really hope that they will be punished.

"Next, let's welcome our guest 'Louisiana Gator Boy' with a round of applause!"

With that, Hednut stepped back, and the curtain of the stage finally opened.

This time, the applause was extremely warm, and the students applauded vigorously, as if the guest who was about to perform was Michael Jackson, but everyone knew that more than half of these applause was for Ye Wei.

When the orchestra begins, all that remains in the theater is beautiful blues music, as if from a bygone era.

However, Ye Wei, who had just become a hero, was not in the mood to appreciate music at all. At this moment, his face was pale and covered with cold sweat.

If he were someone else, if he was yesterday, he would definitely be triumphant after such a big limelight, but now he didn't pay attention to the whispers of the people around him, just leaned on the back of the chair weakly, and no one paid attention to what he was thinking.

He couldn't figure out what was going on, but the old headmaster had a verbosity just now and made him take a nap, and he had a long, long dream.

And this dream is so terrifying, magical, natural, and real......

When the Anti-Japanese War ended, his grandfather, who was a soldier, did not want to fight the civil war, so his family immigrated to the United States, and his father Ye Haogen was born soon after.

My father is a person who loves movies, and he wanted to be a filmmaker, but because of the old man's obstruction, he became a dentist. It wasn't until he reached middle age, when he paid off his college loan and mortgage, opened a private clinic, and had some savings, that his dream of cinema began to rekindle.

Then, a small producer named Kevin Thomas showed up with a screenplay, "The Wedding Is Coming."

"The Wedding Date" will be released at three theaters in Los Angeles on Friday at its own expense, and then ......

It was the real beginning of his dream.

In the dream, the film ultimately fails!

This independent comedy, which was pinned on his father's dream of making a movie and made a huge investment, was painted with almost zero box office, and its reputation was extremely rotten, because it was indeed a big bad movie.

The dream was shattered, the investment was in vain, and the father in the dream was so angry that he had a cerebral hemorrhage, and because the rescue was not timely, he passed away a few days later.

The family not only lost their loved ones, but also lost their financial support, which made an otherwise happy family fall into the abyss of darkness.

In order to repay the huge debts owed by his father to banks and credit companies, the dream mother could only sell the house to pay off the money, and moved to a small house in Yinhu District with him and his sister to rent, and he also transferred to a public high school.

Since then, my mother has shouldered all the difficulties, not only to continue to repay debts, but also to continue to give the child a good growth environment, she has cut back on food and clothing, she has worked hard, suffered a lot, and by the time of his senior year, she had already accumulated overwork......

And he, a bad boy who thinks about being in the limelight and picking up girls all day long, and spends a lot of money, suddenly lost his father and had to live a hard life of a penny as a dollar, which caused him a huge blow, and in the following year, he gradually became silent and introverted, as if living in a gloomy world, and once suffered from depression.

Thankfully, he was able to pull himself together, and that was because of his father's legacy.

During the period of melancholy in his dreams, he basically did nothing, locked himself in his room, and watched movies day and night, in order to escape reality and find answers.

In the end, he found it, he understood his father's dream, and understood why a good dentist didn't have to invest in movies, because he also fell in love with this kind of magic.

A few years later, he went from an ordinary movie viewer to a student at the USC School of Film and Television Arts, which is ranked No. 1 in the United States, majoring in "Film and Television Production".

In the four years of college in his dreams, although he worked hard, he could only get middle and upper academic grades, which was inseparable from the fact that he had to put a lot of energy into several part-time jobs, and he had to work as a waiter at McDonald's and deliver food at Jim's Pizzeria...... In this case, it's hard to get an A+.

Moreover, to learn film, you have to make short films, and to make short films you have to burn money, and he pursues the "poor man's film law", he is restricted everywhere, and it is difficult to achieve the film effect of burning thousands or tens of thousands of yuan at every turn.

Every time he was trapped by money, he realized how a loser he was!

One night, he left the student apartment as usual to earn money part-time, but on the way he encountered a robbery at gunpoint.

Three bandits robbed four Chinese students, the situation was critical, two boys were shot and killed, and two girls were about to be taken into a car by the bandits and robbed!

Unable to wait for the police to come, he couldn't sit back and watch for a long time in the dark, and he didn't know where he got the courage, he seized an opportunity to make a move, rushed out, grabbed a bandit's pistol, and shot them, but he was also shot in the chest and seriously wounded......

The pain overwhelmed him, making it impossible for him to breathe, unable to speak, and he tried to say whatever he could, with all his might......

And then......

I woke up.

"What the hell!" Ye Wei muttered with palpitations, how could there be such a real dream, or ......

Are those dreams really the future ahead?

Shocked by this idea, Ye Wei took out the mobile phone in his pocket and looked at it, the date was clearly written: Monday, November 3, 2oo3, 9:42am.

He was still 15 years old, not 23 at the beginning of 2o11 in his dreams.

He dialed a number with a frown, ignoring the curious eyes of the people around him, and as soon as he connected, he asked urgently, "Dad, is that you?

The father's puzzled voice came from the mobile phone: "What's the matter, you have a meeting on Monday, I heard the music, what are you calling? I'm fine, what can I do, I'm going to pull out a caries tooth for a customer." ”

After chatting a few words in a hurry and making sure that his father was safe and sound, Ye Wei was willing to hang up the call and took a long breath.

Whether the dream was real or not, he couldn't be sure, and he couldn't run to his father or anyone to say, "I had a terrible dream," or to joke about it, they either thought he was crazy, or they thought he was planning some kind of prank.

Besides, the money has already been spent, and it has become the "Wedding Date is Coming", which will go soon, and now it's too late to tell my dad not to invest......

However, after such a while, he has indeed changed a lot after a strange dream, and his mentality has matured a lot, and from his current professional perspective, "The Wedding is Coming" is really a bad movie.

Ye Wei was full of doubts, and kept thinking, whether intellectually or emotionally, he told him that those dreams were the future, but the future could be changed!

"No matter what, I must prevent my father from dying of this tragedy, and I must do my best to recover and remedy the loss of this investment. When I get home from school today, I'll have to talk to my dad. ”

Ye Wei's face became resolute, and he let the blues music ring in his ears.
