Chapter 14: The Wedding Day Is Approaching

Without Lev's big mouth, with the testimony of a school bus student, the next day, a fresh scandal spread quickly in the school:

"Phil Collins' daughter and VIy are getting better!"

Like a depth charge exploding, boys and girls talked a lot about everything. The boys are either envious or jealous, Lily is recognized as the next high school flower, Ye Wei is going to be the hell of a fool! And the girls are more complicated, some people laugh at Lily for being horny, the half-weird and half-cool Ye Wei is not a hot item; some people scold her angrily, seeing that Wei Wei is famous, she immediately sticks it up, not relying on her own identity!

Of course, there are also people who express their blessings, especially Ye Wei's friends, who are very happy.

The scandal spread so quickly that even the teachers knew about it, but Harvard-Westlake didn't manage students' dating and relationships, so nothing happened. It's just that they're not optimistic, it's just too much hormones in teenagers, and after a week or a month, look at it?

Only a handful of people know the truth: the two are not dating.

I don't know what Lily Collins thinks, Ye Wei really doesn't have time to care about these now, because there are more important things.

Today is Friday, and "The Wedding is Coming" has been on the midnight show of 6 theaters at 0:00 in the morning!

The goal is to receive $180,000 for 13 Studios in the Beverly Center within a week before it will be screened in the second week.

According to the calculation of 6 yuan for a movie ticket, 1667 tickets need to be sold.

13 Cinemas has 13 audience screening halls, located in a shopping mall, with enough people and advanced hardware equipment.

This is the brilliance of Kevin Thomas's deception, the film is released here, and the investors will definitely be satisfied, and they will feel that he has the ability to do his best.

But Ye Wei knows that "The Wedding is Coming" is actually not suitable for this kind of place, because in such a lively place, the audience has too many choices!

The second round of theaters is all blockbuster or applauded films in the screening, and will not introduce a bad movie that loses money to play, which makes it difficult for those audiences who are not going straight to the goal to notice the unknown films on the poster wall.

On the contrary, if it is a single-hall theater in a remote area, whether it makes money or not, the box office will be better.

Entering 13 Studios is like entering a gladiatorial arena, with a large number of other well-known films competing with you for audiences.

1667 movie tickets, for a masterpiece like "The Lord of the Rings", is only the box office of two or three screenings, but for "The Wedding is Coming", ...... An astronomical amount.

Everyone in the Ye family stayed at home as usual in the early hours of the morning, and they didn't make a special trip to see the attendance, but it shouldn't be any better, and there was no news from the theater.

13 Cinemas won't care, anyway, it has already charged a hall for a week's rent of 6ooo yuan, in addition to charging the necessary screening fees, it will not take any box office share, and the theater manager didn't think that there would be, and it was just a group of laymen tossing.

After all, the results of "The Wedding Date is Coming" are too important, at this time, although he is mentally prepared, Ye Wei has a faint hope in his heart, there is no table at midnight, and it cannot be sentenced to death immediately, it will be better during the day, and tonight is the moment of the decisive battle!

During the day, Ye Wei spent this calm and rippling mood.

After nightfall, the Ye family went to the Beverly Center together.

There are many people who are acting at the same time, and the screening in the 2o:45-22:15 period tonight is the "screening ceremony" that has been scheduled, Ye Haogen's colleagues and friends, relatives and friends of other investors, and Ye Wei's sworn friends...... They were all invited, and hundreds of people were ready to come to the show, without having to buy tickets.

No matter what the box office results will be, the Ye family's Volkswagen suV is a celebration, the four of them are all dressed up, and Toto also wears a red knot around his neck.

Ye Duo sang a children's song happily, her fleshy little face was full of smiles, and she applauded from time to time and said: "Our movie is released, our movie is released!"

Infected by his daughter's happiness, Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao also laughed, Ye Haogen shouted more like a child: "We are movie tycoons!" Toto wagged his tail and barked: "Wang!"

Ye Wei, who was sitting on the left side of the back row, looked at his family and smiled, everything will be fine, I promise......

When the Ye family arrived at the ticket hall of 13 Cinemas, it was only eight o'clock in the evening, and the guests had not yet arrived, and several groups of investors had already arrived.

They also invested real money into it, and of course they cared about the film, wondering why Kevin Thomas was fired, and they knew very little.

One of them, a middle-aged convenience store owner named Mike Schwartz, glared at him with bull's eyes and asked Ye Haogen compulsively: "I have 10,000 yuan in it, and I am qualified to know what the hell happened to him, right?" I invested because Thomas is a professional producer, and now it's a good ......."

"Mike, it's complicated...... Thomas ...... "Ye Haogen is a little confused about how to deal with it, and he can't support it."

"It's actually very simple, that bitch raised all the screws, and completely fucked the fucking screw!"

Ye Haogen turned his head to look, only to see Ye Wei walking towards him scolding in a deep voice, Schwartz heard his rude answer, seemed to be very appetizing, and nodded slightly.

Ye Wei said seriously: "What we have to do now is to clean up the mess, Uncle Mac, you know everything you should know, and knowing more can't help." The previous investment contract was clearly written, and you will see a profit or loss within five years! So you don't have to worry, it will be fine. ”

"How can it be?" Schwartz frowned.

"I don't know yet, but don't forget, our family invested 18o yuan in it! If there is anyone who should be most nervous right now, it is us! Have you seen us crying like a baby?"

Ye Wei said and smiled, "What, that 1o million scared you so much that you peed your pants?" Schwartz suddenly laughed: "Yes, it scared my out." Ye Wei punched him and said with a smile: "Not yet, retract your, let's watch a movie happily tonight, our movie." ”

"Yes, listen to you, but listen to you. Schwarzler smiled and nodded.

"Hehe, hehe......" Ye Haogen on the side was also laughing, secretly relieved, looking at his son, his eyes were pleased, but he had really grown up......

The time gradually approached 2o:3o, and the guests 6 continued to arrive, each with their own reception, and Ye Wei welcomed the four good friends, and then walked to the screening hall with a smile.

"Dude, look here, Beverly Center!" Lev looked around with emotion as he walked, "My own movie is being released here! This is so cool, I really envy you, I have long asked my old guy to invest in movies, but he is a miser, and Abagun is better than him!"

His family is in the book business, and he owns a bookstore, which has a little money.

"yes, my dad is like that, brother, your dad is so cool!" Bud praised, as he muttered popcorn, and his family was a caterer and ran a small restaurant.

Chen Nuo and Corwin also nodded, who doesn't yearn for movies?

"He's cool, a dreamer. Ye Wei smiled and muttered, "The cutest dream chaser." ”

When they walked into the dimly lit screening room, Lev, who had been talking about cool, stopped, and the three of Bard were also stunned, in the hall that can accommodate hundreds of spectators, only some guests sat in the front row, and a few people sat in the middle, and the other seats were empty, and there were only a dozen ticket-buying audiences in the audience, and they didn't know if they were watching the movie or a tryst......

This attendance rate seems to be very bleak......

"Isn't it that the show hasn't started yet! Wait a little longer, and the audience will be bigger. Lev forced a laugh haha.

"Yes, yes!" Bard echoed again and again, and Colwin and Chen Nuo also cast encouraging glances at Ye Wei.

"Brothers, thank you, I'm fine, let's watch a movie!"

At the same time, in front of the poster wall of the cinema ticket hall, audiences with no viewing goals come and go, making choices for the next two hours of entertainment.

A young white couple noticed the poster of "The Wedding is Coming" on the corner side: a couple in wedding dresses holding a cutter in their hands, surrounded by a circle of guests, all horrified as they watched the huge wedding cake fall to the ground.

The cast and crew names on the posters are so small that they can barely be seen with a magnifying glass, but one advertising slogan is so huge that it takes up all the audience's attention:

"The hilarious wedding movie ever! The wedding is coming, but are you really ready?"

In fact, the earliest promotional poster of "The Wedding is Coming" is a couple watching the sunset sweetly on the beach in Florida, and the current poster is redesigned by Ye Wei overnight in the past few days, but because there is no poster photo material, it is an image taken from the image, so it is a little rough and awkward, which is also a helpless thing.

"Looks interesting, George, is that all?"

"What are you kidding, who are these actors? I don't know any of them, forget it, haven't you watched enough wedding movies in the past two years?

"No, I don't want to watch violent movies, or ...... Rock School? ”

"Yes, I heard that it is very good-looking, and a friend recommended it to me, saying that Jack Black's performance is handsome!"

The couple chose a movie and walked to the ticket window for two tickets to "Rock 'n' Roll School."

A lot of people in the audience were like them, and although the scene where the wedding cake fell to the ground was funny, it wasn't enough to get them to shell out $6...... It feels like a case of Coca-Cola mixed with a bottle of homemade sugar water, not interested.

Of course, there are also audiences who are drawn in, such as a white family of three, parents and little girls, who are in high spirits and ready to laugh.

The trio walked into the screening room, surprised that the seats were vacant, but they chose the best middle seat, and the screen was showing trailers for other films, a few minutes before the opening show.

The first few rows of seats are the most lively places in the hall, and the guests are all here, and the laughter and laughter at this time add vitality to the hall.

The four members of the Ye family sat in the middle of the first row, Duoduo hugged Toto, and Gu Qiao took care of him beside him, chuckling softly.

Ye Wei's attention was on his father's side, he could see that his father was very nervous, and he was about to step on the rainbow bridge that he had dreamed of for many years......

His heartstrings were also very tight, and in terms of that nightmare, these few days were a critical period, and he must not let his father have an accident.

"But, do you know?" Ye Haogen suddenly sighed, looked at the big screen in front of him, and said with emotion: "When I was a child, I dreamed of such a day! Although "The Wedding is Coming" was not produced or directed by me, I feel ...... My dream has come true.

It has been said that the older a person gets, the smaller his dreams become. I think maybe it's because older people have hope in addition to their dreams, right?"

He turned his head to look at his son, smiled with pride, and said: "I have thought about it seriously, I am not a material for making movies, and I am not good at socializing, and I am old, so I should be my dentist." But you are different, but you have talent, if you have a movie dream, you must chase it, and Dad will fully support you. ”

Suddenly, Ye Wei's eyes were blurred with tears, and he understood that in that dream, it was not only "The Wedding Date is Coming" that killed his father, but also him.

This is the answer to another question that has been bothering him, why did his optimistic and cheerful father have a cerebral hemorrhage? Because not only did he lose money and his dreams were shattered, but the main reason was that he had no hope......

He could not see hope in his own son, how could that willful and stubborn little loser become a talent? How could he carry the banner of his father's generation? He could not see it.

But now, differently, the father sees hope, and it is in the son.

"I will. Ye Wei pursed his slightly trembling mouth, nodded and choked: "I will, Dad, I will." ”

"Son, no matter what, I want you to understand a little. Ye Haogen patted his son on the shoulder, "I'm always proud of you." ”

Ye Wei's tears suddenly poured out, and he really understood that the reason why the father was desperate in the dream was not because his son did not grow up, but because he could no longer satisfy his son with "20,000 US dollars and an out-of-print comic book" like before, and he could no longer give his family so much love......
