Chapter 624: Weirdos

Soon after talking to Nina on the phone, Ye Wei left Santa Monica Beach.

After listening to enough comforting words, he wanted to find someone to scold him, of course, he had to scold him with reason and insight. Now it is difficult for him to suffer this kind of scolding, the family likes him, the boys envy him, the girls love him, even the dogs do not bark at him, and they are crazy with joy when they see him.

Instead of sitting melancholy, it is better to go on a rampage. Who can scold me? I want to be scolded.

He didn't want to be scolded by Lily, there was nothing but bad reactions.

Gia is okay, she has nothing to do anyway, and she is dating Jennifer's second brother Brian.

Ye Wei went back to his residence to get his lightsaber first, and once again saw the prototype of the two digital cameras Red-One.

In 2005 Jim Jannard founded RED, and at the 2006 NAB show, Jannard announced that he would develop a digital film camera with up to 4K pixels and start accepting reservations. He ordered two at that time, and the Sony HDC-F950 could not satisfy him for a long time. Now that the Red-One has not been delivered to the market, I will first give the prototype to those digital technology leaders, like Peter Jackson, like him, and hope that they will publicly praise the ease of use after using it, and give some comments at the bottom, and it is better to order it for ten or eight units.

It's been more than half a month since he got the machine, and he hasn't used it to shoot anything. The parameters are very good, 120 frames per second for 2K pixels, 30 frames per second for 4K pixels, take pictures and watch at any time, small and exquisite, it's just a little sweetheart that makes a stunner, and there are two more. The first movie ever shot with Red-One? I just don't want to open this Pandora's box.

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when he arrived at the agreed Mandeville Canyon Park and ran up the mountain, Ye Wei brought two treasured MR lightsabers, gave Gia a Luke Skywalker green sword, and held a red sword of Darth Vader himself. Jiya saw that he was in a bad mood and didn't care about the seniority.

The two stood ten paces apart on the wasteland at the top of the mountain, surrounded by an open landscape, and the blue sky cast fierce sunlight, robbing them of the dazzling light of the lightsaber.

Brian served as a witness to the showdown, "Begin!"

"Luke, I gave you life, and now I give you death. Ye Wei lowered his voice. Jiya yelled, "I'd rather be a Jedi Heroic Spirit than a slave of darkness!" Ye Wei had already rushed forward with a lightsaber in both hands, and slashed at her with a sword, "Ah!!hh

Jiya also swung her lightsaber to resist, and her willow eyebrows were twisted high, "Huh!!"

The sound of a light saber colliding with a bang spread out in all directions, and the green and blue lights brought out afterimages, and the two fought frantically, and Brian was in a cold sweat when he saw it.

Although Ji Ya is tall, how can he be his opponent, he doesn't use any skills, after playing for a while, he uses pure power to slash her, sword after sword, Ji Ya suddenly couldn't parry, and was beaten so hard that he couldn't even hold the sword in a few strokes.

"Hahaha! Luke, you're a Luther. Ye Wei let out a wild laugh, raised his sword in his right hand towards the sky, and raised his palm in his left hand to release the Force.

"Look behind you, Natalie Portman!" Jiya shouted in surprise, and just as Ye Wei looked back, she roared angrily and slashed over with her sword in both hands!

Ye Wei felt a blow to his back, although the sword head of the sword body was round, and his back muscles were very good, Ji Ya's desperate blow was still very painful, he screamed, fell to the grass, and fell to the ground in a large shape.

Gia was so tired that she held her sword on the ground and gasped, "Why do you think I'm called Master?" Brian approached with some fear.

"Come on, Master Gia, scold me. Ye Wei looked at the white clouds fluttering in the sky. Gia was very interested in this: "How to scold?" He was speechless: "I don't know, if I knew, would I still need you to scold?" ”

"Hmm... Well, it's normal that your appeal didn't go through. Gia thought and said, "I don't know much about the Premier League, but it's a top professional league, you can play if you want to? You have the strength, but if someone else does this, what do you think? Do you think it's a joke, then why should you let you play? The Premier League has been running so well for so many years, why should you play for a few months? Boy, the sun doesn't revolve around you, you're too self-righteous. ”

The more she talked, the happier she became, and she really scolded: "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 more in the limelight, and you definitely don't want to play if you can't play, doesn't this mean that you actually only care about the result, not the process? You know what you said in "Little Sunshine Beauty", maybe you forgot! You can sign a contract with Manchester United for a few years, and then appeal next season, if not, then appeal, then why don't you? Many players are like this, right? Others are not playing tickets, they are doing this with their whole lives, and they are much worse than you, right? Why don't you? Because you're playing tickets, and that person rejects you for that reason, what do you have to complain about......"

"Enough, enough. Ye Wei jumped up and walked back, "Jiya, I don't want to be scolded by you, this really makes me uncomfortable." ”

"Stand! I haven't cursed enough. Gia caught up.

Ye Wei ran away, "It's not you, I'm looking for someone who scolds me for not being able to hurt me." Bring my two lightsabers back to my office!"

"You must be stupid, they are my trophies. ”

After leaving the park, Ye Wei continued to wander, and Lily, who had already finished school, called to ask where he was, but he still needed time, and only said that he would look for her before 10 o'clock in the evening. He went home, and went to find Lev and Chen Nuo, who were very busy, and scolded whatever they wanted. He really didn't like to be scolded by boys, and he didn't listen to a word.

It was almost six o'clock and the sun was setting. He didn't have dinner with anyone, so he bought some fast food and sat on a chair on the side of the street to eat, looking at the passers-by and the cars on the road. Gia scolded reasonably, he only looked at the results of his efforts, but ignored the gains in the process and the improvement of himself from this experience.

Knowing that it will end in failure and still working hard, there will be its fun.

How many people in the world will surely bear fruit in their efforts? Most of them are in vain, and these futile efforts have shaped the ordinary people of the world. These struggles, patience, failures, this kind of pain, there must be something that can be precipitated and sublimated by the self, and it must be precious.

One can deceive others, but not oneself. 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, it's an absolute failure. Back in Carrington, it is possible to succeed, that is self-identification.

It's also a testament to others, it's charity work, and the more jerseys are sold, the more children are helped.

Ye Wei had already made a decision faintly, put down the hamburger in his hand, and couldn't eat these junk foods. I suddenly thought of who to find to scold myself, and took out my phone to check the address book and dialed a number, Brie Larson. She is a substitute actor for "Rui", she doesn't know it, but she has joined "Killer Hero".

He also wants to see how she is now, and the last time he saw her was in last year's draft.

After a few beeps, the other end was connected, and Ye Wei smiled and exclaimed: "Hey, Brie, it's me, Ye Wei." ”

"Hey ......!" Brie Larson's voice seemed to pretend 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. Brie suppressed her suspicions 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 and scold me, the second is that I haven't been to any girl's house for a long time except for my girlfriend's house, and the third is that I want to see you, we haven't seen each other for a long time. The silent Brie should have froze, he shrugged, and that was exactly what happened.

"I don't quite understand......" Brie laughed awkwardly.

"Then you don't need to understand now, okay or no?"

"Okay. Brie thought for two seconds, "I'm more than happy to do things for you." ”

"Oh thanks, I'll get over here. Ye Wei got up to leave and asked, "Where did your address come from?"

......

Brie Larson is not actually named Larson, she was born in Sacramento, California on October 1, 1989, and her name is Brianna Sidoni Deearly Neal.

Her parents were both masseurs, and she told her mother "I want to be an actress" at the age of 3, and began to study drama at the age of 6. Just after her ninth birthday, her mom remarried, and they moved to Los Angeles, a small town in the northwest suburbs of Santa Clarita. With a population of 150,000, the town was relatively underdeveloped, but the industry was thriving, and her stepfather was an industrial videographer.

Santa Clarita is not far from Hollywood, just over half an hour by car.

She got a chance that she didn't have in her hometown, and in the same year she appeared twice in the skit of "Jay Renault's Tonight Show", and then acted in two episodes, and the following year she continued to play two more episodes, both of which were small supporting roles in different TV series, and also acted in the movie "Special Express" for the first time, with a budget of 2.5 million but no release screen.

It was bad luck at that time. She won a regular role on the FOX channel and comedian Robert Schummel's new series "Shumil," which was "postponed" for 10 months before filming was diagnosed with cancer and was cancelled by FOX after filming was "postponed" for 10 months.

It all happened under the stage name Brie Larson. Her own stage name, Desaulniers, was so hard to pronounce that her Swedish grandmother, Larson, was much better. However, her native language is French, as her grandparents are French-Canadian.

Brie was still lucky, and after continuing to run around the series and TV movies, she starred in the regular role of the new drama "Single Dad" for two seasons and 22 episodes until it was axed, and by the way, Kate Dylins played her sister in the show, and they were pretty good. She also acted in a Disney TV movie "Racing Baby", and also played a small supporting role in "All Night Carnival" and "Girl's Dream Thirty", but she didn't make a big difference, and as she grew up, she became not beautiful enough, a round face used to be called Apple, and now it is called a big cake, and people play "Youth Musical", she has no drama. can also act in family comedy, one of the leading actors of Kennedy/Marshall and Walden Media's 15 million budget "I Love Owl".

In fact, she is very good at singing, everyone has an interest in singing, she is composing music and lyrics to create, 03 years old 14 years old through her personal website to promote her songs. If you want her to say, Ye Wei sang on YouTube much later than her. The publicity caught her eye, and she signed with Universal Music, which at first began to make a big difference, and she continued to post songs online with popularity, and also received an official iTunes release, rushing to No. 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. She became a singer, attended a lot of live performances, and was a guest on Jesse McCartney's tour.

In October 2005, her debut album was released, and all 13 songs were written by her, and that mood was the beginning of conquering the music scene. 3,500 were sold. It turns out that her popularity is just that. She did not end her music career and continued to make new songs, but there is no hope of becoming a singer for the time being.

With such an identity and story, Brie participated in the VIY draft at the beginning of last year, and there was no target role, and she could win whatever she could. Although she is the only one in her group who is a veteran actor at the level of a union actor, she only got an email from Ye Wei who was not selected, saying that she was good and suggested that she work harder. Is that polite?

Then in April, "I Love Owl" was released, with more than 1,000 theaters in the first Wednesday, more than $1,000 per theater, and finally only 8.11 million North American box office, plus 100,000 overseas box office in Mexico and Spain. Acting is also messed up here, and the first screen movie she starred in may be the last.

This made her wonder once again if she was really suitable for acting, but she was sure that she couldn't do without creation, so photography, interior design, handicraft, writing, songwriting, painting, directing, cooking, ...... She learned everything and did some animal training.

She didn't go to school since she was a child, she grew up with a family education, and her teachers were harsh mothers. But she really doesn't want school, school dances, not interested. Watching sports and shouting cheers? Not interested. Looking for a handsome guy to fall in love with? Not interested. What she wanted was chewing gum all day, painting on the bedroom wall, doing messy crafts, and that's her high school.

In a way, Brie felt like a weirdo who spends all day in her room at home.

It's the kind of weirdo who crafts a slideshow about why she should be crying or screaming at something. God knows why, looking at slides like that, made by herself, she thought it was cool.

It's been such a cool year, no new films, no albums, and a little weird stuff. She didn't go to auditions everywhere, she wanted to figure out her heart first, whether to continue acting, and which role was the opportunity she was waiting for all her life?

Then at the beginning of this month, the film and television agent suddenly called excitedly and said that Ye Wei invited her to join a project called "Murder Hero", there is no script, only a more detailed introduction than the synopsis of the story, and the director and editor are Ye Wei's friend Santiago Youngberard.

It was too sudden, and she had to make a quick decision, she hadn't even spoken to Young-Bollard, nor had she seen his short film, but Ye Wei said: "That guy is more solitary than Terrence Malick, you can't see him, I promise he knows how to make movies." ”

Completely out of superstition about Ye Wei, she intended to join the new company "Young-Blood-Picture", a 500,000 budget R-rated thriller project. The intended salary is 10,000 yuan a week, this is not a formal contract, she can resign at any time, and the project can only be started after completing crowdfunding, and the shooting period can only be determined after a few weeks.

As soon as she signed the letter of intent, she was stupid, and Youngberard called her......

"Why me?" Brie couldn't understand, she believed that even if she was paid for nothing, this could make all the school-age girl actors fight to the end, why did she play it?

"Because I'm very careful about employing people, I want to try using you. ”

In this way, Brie joined "Killer Hero", she doesn't know if this is the opportunity she was waiting for, anyway, having him is a good opportunity.

But it didn't move at all after the launch of Spotpass, and it was a zero every day, which was worse than the sales of the album, which made her really feel a little cold, didn't she have a die-hard fan? In order to prevent the project from being aborted, she kept it secret to mobilize her family and friends to invest, but secrecy hindered progress.

Yesterday Oscar, this evening suddenly, Ye Wei called. She felt that "Shumil" was going to happen again, she was angry with the Oscars, she didn't get the labor certificate, Ye Wei stopped playing, "Killing Hero" stopped filming, and he was going to gather the core future girls to make a new film...... As a result, he said that he was looking for her to scold him.

Brie herself is weird, so don't blame, okay!

When she put down her phone and walked out of the bedroom, it seemed to press the fast forward of "Life Remote Control":

She ran downstairs and shouted that Ye Wei was coming, her sister, mother, and stepfather all looked stupid, she explained and confessed, chaotic, the roar of the sports car came, Missie screamed and went to open the door to welcome Ye Wei in, everyone said hello, talked about Oscar, Ye Wei said something that made everyone laugh crazy. When I got to the living room, I somehow played "2001: A Space Odyssey", her stepfather loved this movie the most, it is not an exaggeration to say that watching it once a day is an infinite loop, which is not surprising, this is the coolest movie of their time.

But when she came back to her senses, she was most puzzled......

Ye Wei was lying on a massage table with his upper body bare and watching the TV intently, her mother was massaging him, pinching his strong shoulder muscles, and he screamed comfortably: "Ah... Heather, your skills are better than those of the masseurs at the Manchester United training centre in the Premier League, your hands are magical... Wow......"

"Hehehe. Her mother was smiling happily, and she hadn't massaged anyone outside the family in years.

Ye Wei is obviously also a fan of "2001: A Space Odyssey", and discusses with her stepfather from time to time: "Dude, every time I hear this music, I get goosebumps." "He's talking about Requiem-For-Soprano-Mezzo-Soprano when the black slate appeared. Her stepfather agreed: "I've listened to it for so many years, and every time I listen to it, I still get scared, but I just can't live without it!"

Brie is actually covered in pimples now.

"Awesome, fate made me watch it at this time, and I have to enjoy an awesome massage, I'm really lucky......," Ye Wei whispered.

Missy is a sensible girl, and she knows that she should help her sister seize the opportunity to perform, and said with a smile: "Brie also loves to watch this movie, but she loves to watch foreign movies even more, she always watches foreign movies." ”

Kicked by Missy, Brie came back to her senses and said, "Uh, yes, like Jean-Luc Godard's films, especially 'A Woman is a Woman,' and P.J. Hogan's 'Muriel's Wedding,' and Akira Kurosawa and John Cassowitz." ”

"Cool, all very cool. Ye Wei didn't know if he was listening, his attention seemed to be all on the TV screen.

Of course, Brie wants to be friends with Ye Wei, at least not to let her clumsiness lose the opportunity, what if this is an alternative audition? She needs to behave well in front of the 19-year-old big man. He added: "Stanley Kubrick's scheduling is magical. ”

"Yes, shhhh How about we all stop talking?" Ye Wei's sincere tone, "Watch the movie quietly." ”

"Oh okay. Brie replied, shaking her head at Missy, don't be unhelpful. She felt that the reason for being noisy was not because she was talking, but because she was talking nonsense.

This made the atmosphere in the living room a little tense, but Ye Wei was still bohemian, and after enjoying a massage, she slowly got up and put on her T-shirt, and sat side by side on the sofa with her stepfather to watch a movie together, and let out sighs from time to time, and it was more than two hours to watch.

Seeing that astronaut Bowman had to destroy the runaway spacecraft intelligent system Ha'er 9000 computer, Ye Wei screamed; saw the most famous interstellar passage, his eyes did not blink, and his breath was rough and whirring; then Bowman went to the mysterious room, he saw from the mirror that he was aging, he saw an old man sitting at a dining table with his back to eat, when the old man turned around, it was Bowman himself, the old man walked out of the inside to the outside, the same room, he went to the dining table to eat, accidentally broke the wine glass, he turned his head to look, and saw that there was an old man lying on the bed at some point without even gray hair, it was himself, Bowman on the bed raised his finger, he saw the black slate appear on the opposite side of the bed, he turned into a baby in a ball of light, the subjective lens pushed to the black slate, as if in ......

Also-sprach-Zarathustra sounded, and the camera was focused on the moon in the universe, moving down, and the Earth appeared to the right of the frame, and on the left was a baby of the same size, Bowman, who was back on Earth, and he was looking at Earth.

Brie sat next to Ye Wei, so close, she could see every pore of his arm standing up, and when it came to the last scene, his eyes were full of tears, but his face was smiling, and it wasn't until the end of the cast that he and her stepfather screamed!

"It's amazing!" he said.

"It's what keeps me alive. Her stepfather said.

Brie took the opportunity to express her opinion: "It should have the shadow of a mythical story. She seemed to be right, Ye Wei looked at her: "What do you say?" She was asked, she likes to read mythological stories, but when it comes to research, she hasn't, she rolled her eyes, "I just feel that it comes from some ancient story source, although it is one of the most classic science fiction." ”

Everyone else has nothing to say, although her stepfather is obsessed with this movie, but it is more about reminiscing about his youth and watching the story itself. Like this movie, like "A Woman is a Woman", "Rashomon" or something, they are all very rich, complex, and difficult to understand, and they can't really understand it. She actually enjoyed the fact that she was the person who knew the most about movies in the family, but in front of Ye Wei......

Seeing that no one spoke, Ye Wei said excitedly: "I agree with you!" I think this stems from all the myths and stories that the gods want to destroy the world. I am completely out of the theory of movies and mythology, if there is any offense, please forgive me, in the Old Testament of the Bible, in the book of Genesis, God regretted creating man because he saw that all people on earth were evil, and he wanted to destroy all the life he created, and only the blessed Noah, his wife and children, and some animals could survive, and then the flood really destroyed the world. Such myths can be found in various civilizations all over the world, just like in Chinese mythology, the god of water and the god of fire fought because of their grievances, and the god of water lost, and he angrily broke a pillar that supported heaven and earth, and the sky pierced, and floods were everywhere, and if it wasn't for another goddess who created man to make up for the heavens, it would have been all over. So calamity and life are relative, and so are God and man. ”

"Yes. Brie nodded, understandable.

Ye Wei said like a machine gun again: "Are human beings evil? maybe." But what is it about human beings, the whole planet, to God? I'm a fan of the 2001: A Space Odyssey movie and the original book, and I co-authored it to understand it. The baby's name is Star Child, and Star Child is a high-level life in the universe, which can also be said to be a god. They used the black slate as a tool of enlightenment to sow the seeds of civilization everywhere in the galaxy, like the earth, and the ape-man became a human being when he was enlightened. These planets, which have incidentally had civilizations, will produce a civilization energy that they harvest regularly. Bowman went from a human to a star boy in that room, and he could sow and reap and evolve further. What's the first thing to try? With a thought, he went back to Earth, which was already just a glittering toy for him. The earthlings were scared stupid, they hurriedly launched missiles to hit him, he just thought about it, half of the world exploded into ruins, it was over, the earthlings were at the end of the world.

Can you say that God is cruel? like God, like other gods who destroy the world, no! I don't think they're cruel, they just don't care. What does all this mean to them? When you pick the vegetables you grow and eat them, is that cruel?

I think that ancient humans looked up at the sky, and modern humans looked at the universe beyond the earth, and their feelings were no different, and they would understand and feel their own insignificance. It is a kind of loneliness, confusion, and fear that lives with human civilization, is integrated into the DNA of life on earth or in the depths of the soul. The ancients were afraid that one day the world would end suddenly, because God didn't like human beings, God fought, and God sent disaster; modern people are afraid that one day a higher alien civilization will invade the earth and destroy us, a comet will break through the sky and hit the earth, and the sun will explode. Is there a difference? But such a god, such an extraterrestrial advanced civilization, such a catastrophe of annihilation, this star boy is also human beings themselves. It is our own fear of the unknown, our cruelty, our will that gives rise to gods, aliens, and demons. It is humans who are destroying the planet. This is the soul I see in 2001: A Space Odyssey, the eternal and unchanging human side. I'm done. ”

There was silence in the living room, until Missy clapped her palms, and Brie nodded, "Yes...... her stepfather was scared silly, and her mother stood like a black slate.

She wanted to ask, suddenly a big director came to your house for some reason, and the whole family watched a movie with him, and then he babbled something that basically no one could understand, and there was no slide to explain it!

"Uh... I'm sorry, but I've been doing manual work lately. Ye Wei shrugged his shoulders, "My head was held back for a while." Brie, can we talk?"

"Of course. Brie nodded, everyone doesn't need to understand if they don't understand.

At that moment she took Ye Wei to her bedroom upstairs, she knew that it was weird, but if there was a place where he could understand her as soon as he stepped foot, her room.
