Chapter 236: The Whole is Greater than the Sum of Its Parts

"Win-Daisy, where have you been, we're looking for you everywhere, haha, Win-Daisy"

"It's All Daisy's Fault" is one of the films exhibited at this year's Santa Barbara International Film Festival, which was screened on January 2, director Wang Ying, starring Anna Sophia Rob, and Sicily Tyson all attended the appearance, as well as Ye Wei's help, the film prodigy dressed in fashionable clothes and attended as Rob's male companion.

In a packed theater, media people, film critics and ordinary audiences are all watching the big screen, and it is now the end of the film

The crowd cheered, the children hugged Win-Daisie, and he showed a cute and mischievous smile, and the film ended with warm singing and emotion.

Because of Win-Daisie, because of Opal, a group of people in this ordinary town have established a beautiful and friendly friendship, and life has become laughing, all because of Win-Daisy

"Ana, you acted so well, very good, very good" In the front row, Ye Wei clapped his hands vigorously and said three GPPAT in a row to Anna Sophia, who was sitting next to him

He does think so, Ana's performance is impeccable, and the film also has the power to warm people's hearts, which is really great, but he also knows that such a standard commercial warm family film, lacking a deep theme, has a last-minute rescue, and it is Win-Daisy who runs back by herself......

Thinking about "Happiness Terminal", which is just passing in the film critics' circles, "Daisy" is unlikely to get much praise.

"Thank you" Anna Sophia, who is already 11 years old, has grown up a little, still a middle-length gold type, with an angelic smile, excited to get his praise, "I can play well, thanks to you, but, how can I thank you, hehe"

"No more, you let me see Opal." Ye Wu wrinkled her nose and said: "But the movie itself may receive some criticism, no matter what, don't pay attention to what those people say, you acted very well, very cute, keep it up, little ghost"

Anna Sophia nodded angrily, "Absolutely keep"

After the end, Ye Wei and Wang Ying also chatted a few words, for the point that it was too standard, Wang Ying's old face was full of helplessness, and said meaningfully, "This is Hollywood business", what can be done, how much power to do how much, this kind of commercial film is accurate to the second, and the director will say anything.

"Old man, I think the film is great, I've read the original novel, the story itself lacks contradictions, the point is the friendship between Opal and Win-Daisy, the warmth between people, you have a smart handling, the film is so warm, that's enough."

Ye Wei liked it very much, but the businessman Twentieth Century Fox obviously knew that the response from the film critics was not very good, and the film review was postponed very late, and the first film review was not published until February 11th, and it was the real Buri on the 17th, and on the 18th, "Daisy" appeared in 6-18b North American theaters.

February 19th is Ye Wei's 17th birthday, although it can't be up or down, but because it was simple last year, life is different this year, and it's a weekend, friends have been looking forward to it for a long time, and they must have a birthday party, and Jiya even threatened that if he said no, he sent someone to Toronto to kidnap him back.

He also wants to go back to Los Angeles to celebrate his birthday happily with his family and friends, what should Nina do? She is so important, she is happy and he will have a happy birthday, so he ......

On the evening of the 18th Toronto time, Ye Wei and Nina took a flight to Los Angeles together.

"Don't bother me reading." In the business class of the plane, Nina whispered and slapped the hand of the neighbor who reached out to play with her head, Ye Wei said and looked at the beautiful stewardess who walked by......

The poems are very beautiful, but she can't help but think of other things in her heart, and she is looking forward to it and apprehensive, she wants to see his parents, his friends, she must be very smart, drinking tea and talking about poetry and other arts, so it is better to fill in some homework in her stomach.

What is the loneliness in the world? All things must merge into one spirit because of the laws of nature. Why are you and I different?

You see the mountains kissing the blue sky, the waves hugging the waves; Who has seen the flowers tolerate one another: sisters despise their brothers?

The sun hugs the earth tightly, and the moonlight kisses the ocean tenderly: but what good do these kisses do, if you will not kiss me?

It's so sweet...... Nina read a poem, memorized it by rote, and gradually began to feel sleepy, "If there is no kiss, what good is a love poem", seeing that it is not a love poem, she is even more sleepy, and she can't help yawning, why is "Ode to the West Wind" so long......

Watching her go from dozing off to leaning on the back of the chair and really falling asleep, Ye Wei tried her best to hold back her laughter, her shoulders were trembling, please, Nina, why do you have to be like this if you don't like poetry, who let you read it, isn't it Valentine's Day a few days ago, read Shelley to you Don't you understand, just don't read it in the future.

Quietly took the book from her lap, Ye Wei got up, and saw his favorite sentence: The past belongs to death, and the future belongs to you. [,!] yourself.

It was also Lily's favorite, but he thought that he and she had not understood poetry as deeply as he thought.

On the night of the 18th Los Angeles time, the two got off the plane and did not leave together, but left separately like strangers they didn't know, there were too many paparazzi at Los Angeles International Airport.

This weekend, Nina stayed at the Sunset Boulevard Hotel near Brentwood, went by herself, and the next morning, she took a taxi to South Gretna Green Street, where Ye Wei's house was located, looking at the noble houses on both sides of the street, when she was unfamiliar with the road of life, she saw Yunik wearing a ball cap and sunglasses waving in front of her, smiling and following.

"Ni-Na"

On the lawn outside the house, when she saw Nina, who she hadn't seen for nearly three months, except for the occasional video call, Duoduo was so happy that she didn't forget who this was, and pounced on her to hug her, Toto also sniffed out something, and pounced with the same excitement, finally knowing who the mysterious smell on her body came from

"Hello, Duoduo, hello, Toto." Nina smiled brightly, picked up Duoduo and kissed her cheek, put her down, and bent down to pick up Toto who was around her feet, and really kissed its nose.......

"You haven't kissed it?" Nina stared, such a cute puppy looked at it again, no wonder Toto seemed to be very aggrieved, she hugged Toto and leaned towards him, "kiss it"

Duoduo jumped with a lot of fun, "Brother hurry up and kiss Toto"

"No, no, don't even think about it." Ye Wei pursed his lips and watched Toto stick out his tongue, no matter what it wanted to do, it couldn't do it

"Kiss it" Nina brought Toto closer to his mouth, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"It's my birthday, not Toto's birthday." Ye Weicai was aggrieved, his face was hiding and hiding, but he was licked several times by Toto at zero distance, Nina and Duoduo both laughed happily, Toto wagged his little tail excitedly.

Duoduo ran first, and Toto, who was put down, also ran wildly, Nina also laughed and chased after him on a whim, he didn't run with all his strength, she ran with all her strength, and caught up with him when she got to the front of the house, and jumped up and pounced on his back to tie him, laughing: "Caught you"

But I saw a middle-aged couple just walking out of the house, stopping on the porch in a slight daze, and Yunik died......

Nina hurriedly let go of him and said seriously: "Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye, hello, I'm Nina, Nina-Dubov." How can you not be nervous, Yunik's parents

But the next exhibition is what she wants, Ye's mother and Ye's father are easy and friendly, very enthusiastic about her, and they still seem to have a good impression, and they are both second-generation immigrants, there are no obvious cultural differences, she came prepared, Xianbao showed her Chinese, and took the opportunity to ask Qiao for another lesson, she knew that Qiao was studying East Asian languages in college.

In fact, Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao have never cared much about their son's feelings, their son has his son's youth, he just likes it, not to mention that Lily and Nina are good girls.

Nina was a little incredulous about how easily she won the hearts of Yunik's family, the poems she had prepared hadn't been shown, but she didn't have the opportunity to find them, they didn't talk about this at all, but talked about Toronto, Bulgaria, which she was familiar with, which made her feel very comfortable.

The two greeted her for a while, and then let the young man play by himself.

"Come in, hurry up, we don't have much time."

On the second floor of the house, Ye Wei took Nina's hand and walked into his room. It's almost nine o'clock, Lev and they are coming, today is Saturday, and the high school doesn't have to go to school, so they can come over in the morning and get together for a day.

"Wow......" Nina looked around curiously and surprised, although she had seen his room in the video, it was the first time to visit the site, her eyes were naturally attracted by the black stone slab, and asked, "Yunik, what kind of Chinese culture is that?"

"No, it's a source of knowledge." Slammed the door shut and locked it, Ye Wu answered the question that every girl asks, why don't these people watch "2O1: A Space Odyssey" He didn't say much, hugged her from behind, and kissed the slender neck.

"Hey, stop" Nina hit him angrily, trying to break free.Ye Wei said mournfully: "Today is my birthday......" As soon as he said this, Nina almost softened, but felt that he was going to take further action, his hands were already pinching dishonestly, and he suddenly stopped talking, "No, your family is downstairs, if something embarrassing happens......"

"Once?" Ye Wei asked with a kiss.

"How can you be fast, no......" Nina blushed.

"But it's a dream of mine to be in my room with a hot, cute and beautiful girl."

"Your dream is so cheap......"

Ye Yu wanted to lobby and lobby for something, but there was the sound of Duoduo running in the corridor outside, and soon it was the sound of banging on the door, so he had to give up, slapped her ass vigorously, and said viciously: "Wait, I'll clean you up at night." Nina stuck out her tongue and grimaced and pushed her chest out defiantly.

It turned out that it was okay not to do it, and within ten minutes, the friends began to arrive in 6 continuations.

Emma is not among them, because she is filming "Mermaid" in Australia, and can only congratulate remotely and make up gifts later, she said that she will send it in person and not let others help bring it.

Even Emma doesn't have to come in Los Angeles if she doesn't want to meet Nina.

Ji Ya didn't have so many worries, as soon as she came to the grass in the backyard of the house, she hugged Ye Wei firmly and patted him on the back, "Happy birthday, 17 years old? or a year younger than me, haha" She kissed him almost violently again. [,!] cheeks, turned to look at the stunned Nina, laughed and hugged it, "Nina, it's nice to meet you."

Seeing that Master Gia hugged Nina and kissed her on the cheek a few times, Lev and the others had an idea, could the master be gay?

"Have you kissed enough, if you want to kiss me" Ye Wei shouted as if he was jealous, pointing to his face, and everyone burst into laughter.

"Nope." Gia looked Nina up and down, and praised with a sigh: "You're so spicy, damn spicy, Nina, you really make me jealous If I had half as hot as you, I wouldn't have learned to be a director, damn spicy."

The laughter of the crowd couldn't stop, and Bard said loudly and straightforwardly: "Master Jiya, I think you are more spicy" Lev looked at him in surprise, when did he open his mind?

"Thank you, fatty." Gia threw her fist at him, "I'm your girlfriend today, one day." Bud exclaimed excitedly, "Really, really?" Stretched out his fist and touched her, and said happily: "I have a girlfriend, I have a girlfriend too"

"Kiss her, kiss her" Ye Wei shouted coaxingly, "Bud, you have lived all your life, just wait for this day, what are you waiting for now? she is your girlfriend, kiss her quickly"

Lev also coaxed, Chen Nuo and Colwin both nodded their heads again and again, and Anna Sophia, who had just arrived, was busy asking "what's wrong", and Duoduo shouted: "Bud has a girlfriend"

Bud's fat face turned red, slapped his thigh, and risked his death to step forward and kiss Gia on the cheek.

Everyone is laughing, Nina is also laughing, her heart is actually wooden, it's so unexpected that there is no tea to talk about art, how can there be maturity that is difficult to integrate, Harvard-West Lake, the second generation of stars, child stars, I feel that these people are nothing special, and they are also young people who love to play and laugh......

And Yunik and Gia Coppola are really just good friends, and she used to think too much.

"Nina, you just sue me, how can you be as spicy as you?" Gia asked again.

Nina reflexively replied: "Gymnastics, dance, ballet, yoga, I have been practicing since I was a child" Seeing that everyone's expressions didn't seem right, she hurriedly said: "There are also arts, like drama, like poetry, which help to cultivate the body and mind.

"Wow," Gya, Lev, and Bard all exclaimed, looking at her again, poetry they seemed to see something, but they really liked the genre

"What's the matter......" Nina was shocked by them, how could she like she liked poetry alone, ahem.

Seeing that Bud's stunned mouth was about to be unstoppable, Ye Wei hurriedly laughed, "Nina is just joking, she doesn't have a special passion for poetry, but sports are different, that's her favorite.

Time passed in laughter and play, and after three o'clock in the afternoon, the Ye family quickly became more and more lively, and the Harvard-Westlake Junior High School was out of school, and a few more guests, girls

Connie, who has a stable dating relationship with Lev, also came, she and Ye Wei were good friends, because Lily became estranged, now things are clear, after so long, she thinks she can't break off the circle of friends here because Lily doesn't know what to think.

"Only, happy birthday" On the lawn in the front yard, Connie hadn't seen Viy for a long time, and now her eyes are really bright, it's a pity, she told Lily early on that if she and Viy broke up, she would ask him on a date, but she didn't expect to be snatched away by that Nina, she only had Lev, a big-nosed and fearless pervert......

"Thank you." Ye Wei, who came out to greet Lev, hugged Connie with a smile, took her two gift boxes, and asked, "This is?"

"The blue wrap is my gift to you, and the pale yellow wrap is Trace's gift to you." Connie said and paused, a little embarrassed for her best friend, "Lily didn't give you a gift......"

Ye Wei shrugged: "Maybe she doesn't remember." Lev didn't know what to say, and didn't want to be implicated again.Connie sneered, "I asked her, and she said no, but let me tell you, happy birthday."

"Okay, thanks." Ye Wei nodded, and suddenly smiled, "Lily has her own ideas, I have always respected her, if you don't give gifts, don't give gifts, don't think she's stingy, no, although I don't know her 100%, but she is by no means a stingy person, she may think...... It's all good for us. Let's go, our football game is about to begin."

Connie thought silently, should I sue Sù Lily about this? Forget it, don't get involved in other people's affairs.

Soon, on the side of the small football field in the backyard of the Ye family, everyone laughed and shouted, Ye Wei and Nina were on the same team, and Lev and Connie were on the first team, playing a two-on-two game...... All of them lost badly.

As the football broke the net again, Nina's pass, Ye Wei's shot, the two celebrated happily, and after Nina tossed a few times, Ye Wei hugged her and high-fived her again and again

It's less than 15 minutes, and it's 6:o

Lev fell to the grass tired and frustrated, "It's not fair, it's not fair...... Your football is too high, it's not fair." Connie wiped the sweat from her face and reluctantly admitted, "We lost." In the past, Viy and Lily were not so good at teaming up, they could play around -:1, but now they are completely abused......

"It's not fair," Lev cried out in pain, causing the two men to laugh even more wildly, "Who's going to challenge next?" The onlookers looked at each other.

"Actually, there's a fairer way......" At this time, Chen Nuo pushed his glasses, and his small voice was just like the tone of a master: "Video game."

Ye Wei and Nina glanced at each other, and both smiled again: "OK, who is afraid of whom", "Yes."

Soon and lively atmosphere. [,!] moved to the hall of the house, everyone used the E2 game console to play live football, Ye Wei and Nina team, Lev and Chen Nuo team, each with a top team against the showdown, Manchester United Real Madrid.

The couple pressed the gamepad tacitly, "Long pass the forbidden area, right now", "Pass it"

"Shovel him, shovel him" On the other side, Lev and Chen Nuo went crazy, hurriedly pressed up, and the shovel was empty

United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy fired a shot from inside the box, and Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas jumped up to save but didn't touch the ball, and the ball went into the net

"goal" Ye Wei was shouting, Nina was also shouting at the same time, the first half was not over yet, -:o Lev and the two of them scratched their heads in frustration, but they still couldn't kick ...... Laughter echoed through the hall, and Connie scolded in disappointment, "Lev, you suck." Gia shouted, "Get out of the way, I'll come in the second half, you really can't do it."

"It's useless for anyone to come." Ye Wei raised his fist to the side, "You are facing a whole, and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts" Nina high-fived him, "We are an invincible combination"
