Chapter 135: Everyone is a Winner
With the wonderful speeches of Lily and Ye Wei successively, it is not surprising that Jack Gyllenhaal, a special guest, has become a supporting role.
Although the crowd applauded when they should have applauded his speech, and laughed when they should laugh, it did not boil. No wonder they are, Jack's speech is on a similar topic, he shares his experience and mood from a student to a professional actor, encouraging the younger generations to chase their dreams, but it is a little flat and dwarfed.
But this situation is really not what Ms. Yale had imagined before, you must know that the promotional poster of the film festival is dominated by a photo of Jack's 7th grade ID.
When the theater was in a lively mood again, it was because of the screening of "Winter Girl".
Lev's directing level is only at the level of a medium high school student, in the words of Master Gia, "with one-tenth of my skills", but the better thing is that the story is real and interesting, and most importantly, several young and invincible beautiful girls are enough to eye!
Connie has always been a high-quality little beauty, and Trist who takes off her glasses and braces is also eye-catching; Lily has become a scene-stealing guy who hides the heroine's light, and shows off an elegant and heroic British princess style with a few shots, which amazes the male students in the audience.
Some people also recognized her, and this year's Oscars have just been seen, no wonder they are so familiar!
Of course, Connie also left a deep impression on the audience, the fast shot of her constantly changing various costumes in the mirror is great, the people are good-looking, the clothes are good-looking, and the images are good-looking.
But this kind of mirror lens belongs to the high-level ranks, and it takes a lot of effort to find a good angle and take a lot of effort to shoot, and this kind of lens uses consciousness, which is not like Lev's handiwork...... Under Jiya's text message, Lev admitted on the spot that this set of shots was built by Brother Wei.
Because of this set of shots, the quality of "Winter Girl" has been raised to a higher level, and Lev, a rough man, really doesn't understand anything!
The end credits are listed, listening to the applause of the audience, which of the participating girls is not happy?
Connie's eyes are starry, viy is amazing, she just said it casually at the time, but he is so concerned, and he has the joy now, such a boy is awesome! Lily's fool is in the midst of blessings, and she still refuses his confession, what a fool......
In between screenings, awards were also awarded, with "Birthday Balloon" winning Best Cinematography (Natalie Shapiro, Harvard-Westlake), "Lies" taking home Best Editing (Sam Bukitst, Harvard-Westlake), "Friendly Construction" winning Best Screenplay (Taylor Celle, Windward School) and "Unlocking Nightmares" winning the Most Creative Award (Andrea Capelli, Miracosta High School).
They are all one or two years older than Ye Wei, but when they come to the stage to accept the award, they will all thank him for a few words, for the strength they get from him!
The Best Director Award and Best Film Award, which are the heaviest of the seven awards, were awarded to Ye Wei because of "Good People Have Good News", and he deserved to receive the award twice, which ignited the passion of the audience. But the most enthusiastic thing was that after the screening of the closing film "Dance of Angels", everyone once again stood up to pay tribute to this incredible genius short film!
The judges selected this list of winners in a fair and professional manner, and the enthusiasm of the audience determined the voting results of the most popular award.
1st place, "Dance of Angels", 2nd place, "Good Guys Have Good Rewards", 3rd place, "Winter Girls", 4th place, "We Will Be Friends" (Chris Groban, Harvard-Westlake), 5th place, "Friendly Jianyì......
It can be said that Ye Wei still swept the first Harvard-Westlake Film Festival, and the interesting thing is that the young producers all laughed and applauded.
Kevin Costner and other four professional producers also have a new understanding of Ye Wei, and can't help but praise him, sure enough, as rumored, this genius boy is not only talented, but also very likeable, only 16 years old, who can predict his future?
Hanks is Hanks, and you won't lose money investing in such a young man. Whether it is the remake of "The Wedding is Coming", or the mysterious new film project, they are very interested, what kind of achievements can Ye Wei make?
The party came to an end, and the applause of the audience did not dissipate for a long time.
At the end of the show, the students were still laughing and talking about the party just now, talking viy, talking a lot, which made the young people who had waited outside all night and failed to enter envious.
"Viy's speech was awesome, that Lily was his girlfriend, right? ”
"I'm willing to come to Harvard-Westlake for him, and I'm going back to tell my parents that it's so cool. ”
"Don't be impulsive! The study style here is also very strict, do you want to study all night?"
"I don't care, I feel like VIY is my love, I'm going to get to know him!"
It's not just the girl who wants to get to know VIY, almost all the young producers want to know him, and they have given him business cards. They want to communicate with him about movies, they want to have a cool friend like him, and viy is a big and small character, and he will definitely be more powerful in the future, if he intends to develop in the film industry, it must be right to know him.
They are all peers who have dreams of movies! Who will they have the opportunity to cooperate with in the future? Ye Wei has made good connections, and those who make friends do not refuse, as if the universe exploded once in the address book of his mobile phone.
He chatted with Celle, Groban, Capelli and others, they are all very talented, and their level is really not low, as long as they develop well, they are also qualified filmmakers.
They are in high grades, and they are all thinking about choosing a university, of course, they have to go to film school!USC, UCLA, NYU...... And Ye Wei's building yì has only one, USC.
"Guys, hopefully one day we'll be college alumni and movie kids revolutionizing the film industry!"
"Yes, like Lucas, Spielberg, them!"
"Hahaha!"
After leaving the rugby theater, Ye Wei did not go home with his family, but went to a nearby Starbucks with a group of friends to celebrate.
Everyone naturally had a lot of fun and took a lot of photos, such as group photos, Ye Wei holding three trophies, kissing the trophies, being kissed on one cheek by Connie and Trist, being smashed by Lily holding the trophies, several girls kissing the trophies together, and boys competing for trophies......
Serious, funny, joking, unexpected, take a photo and leave a little bit of youth.
Click! Another one, Ye Wei sat on the chair with Lily's shoulders, she held Ye Wei's trophy, and the two of them had bright smiles.
After ten or eight years, looking back and looking at the present, how will you feel?
