Movies have the power to make people laugh and make people cry, just like life.

The moonlight poured across Los Angeles, and the fruity scent of coral trees wafted in the sea breeze, gently blowing in Brentwood, wafting through the window into the boys' bedroom on the second floor of the Ye family.

"Hmm...... Don't ......" Ye Wei, who was asleep, seemed to have a dream, and his brows furrowed slightly.

......

The apartment complexes north of the USC Park Campus are brightly lit and the voices of students are faintly heard.

This is the accommodation provided by the school for senior undergraduate and graduate students, very close to the campus, within the 24-hour patrol range of the school police, safe enough, and better than the conditions of the school dormitory, but the rent is about the same, so the housing is very popular every year.

One of the double apartments is also bright.

The apartment is very simple, except for the simple tables, chairs, etc., there is no furniture added by the residents.

But it's clearly the home of students at USC's top-ranked film and television arts school.

A large LCD TV that does not match the surrounding environment is hung on the wall, and all kinds of photographic equipment are placed everywhere, including some homemade gadgets, such as blackout cloth, diffuser and other lighting equipment. ...

On the other wall hung a huge black board, plastered with sheets of labels, colorful, full of what, and some drawings, colored, sketched...... It's like the CIA headquarters, except that the information on it is not the whereabouts of Ben La-Deng, but some script clues, script split tables, storyboards, and production notes...... Stuff like that.

The sound of "crackling" keystrokes sounded in the hall, and it did not disturb Ye Wei, who was standing by the window.

He looked at the picture frame with a family portrait in his hand, and on the former lawn of Brentwood's house, father, mother, sister, and Toto, as well as him, all smiling.

The wind outside the window blew in, and he suddenly felt a chill, which made his face wrinkled even tighter, and the past came like a tide, and his eyes were full of sorrow.

"'It's fate, not my choice. 'No, no, it's boring......"

In front of the office computer desk next to the board, sat a white boy with messy brown curls and big dark circles, staring at the documents on the computer screen with a distressed face.

Ryan Perchens, another resident here, is a senior majoring in "Film and Television Screenwriting."

"Hmm...... Uh, 'I'm just giving my heart to God and being guided by God.' 'No, no!' The hero doesn't talk like that, only the priest does...... But, are you right?"

"Brother Wei?"

didn't get a response, he turned his head to look, and when he saw Ye Wei's trance, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, he had been a roommate for almost four years, Ye Wei's story was clear to him, but it was irretrievable, but he hadn't come out yet, but it was his closest relative!

"Man, you've got to get it down. He muttered and turned around, continuing to fight the line.

The silence of the apartment didn't last long, and it was broken by the ringtone of the mobile phone, it was Ye Wei's mobile phone, and as he came back to his senses and connected, the ringtone disappeared.

"Good evening, Jack, is there anything wrong?"

"Yes, you know...... What to say, you know, about the director of "Love in the Midsummer", ......"

Listening to the other party's hesitant tone, Ye Wei frowned and walked to his desk, "What's wrong?"

"Love in the Midsummer" is a low-budget non-guild independent film project, a youth romantic comedy with a budget of $500,000, which can enter the theaters in the future, but its main goal is television distribution and the disc market, as well as overseas rights sales.

And Jack Davide, who is nearly forty years old, is the producer of the project, because of the limited budget, for the most important position of director, Jack aimed at fresh graduates from film school, cheap, professional, passionate, and responsible, which is one of the main choices for independent producers.

Ye Wei, majoring in "film and television production", participated in the application, although he was not a star student, but his talent was only trapped by money, in this competition, he showed his edge and successfully obtained the right to direct.

This was already a few months ago, the story of the script is okay, and Ye Wei is confident that it will be told charmingly. The most important thing is that the opportunity is rare, compared to making music videos and commercials, making feature films is much better to start, or if it is not spoof films, plasma films and other exploitation films, you can fully show his talent.

If he finishes his graduation work and leaves campus, he will direct his first film immediately.

"We've thought a lot about it, and commercially, you're not too good to direct this film......"

Hearing this, Ye Wei froze, and clenched his mobile phone tightly in his hand, "Are you serious?!"

He put down the family photo frame, his eyes almost burst into flames, and said angrily: "Jack, are you taking drugs? I'm all going on storyboards, and you say I'm not suitable?"

Ryan, who was on the other side, turned his head in surprise when he heard this.

"I know you won't like the news, sorry, but you know it's a white lead, a heroine, and you...... However, this is not racial discrimination, it is just suitable and unsuitable. It's also about my production career, 500,000 yuan! It's the highest-budget film I've ever made, and if I mess up, I'm done, and you know how cruel the film industry is. ”

Ye Wei took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said calmly: "I can understand, but don't Chinese people understand love? Ang Lee's version of "Sense and Sensibility" is a classic! Several of my student short films have already expressed my professional qualities, you can trust me. Let's sit down and talk, where are you now, or tomorrow?"

"No, there's no need to talk about it, in fact, we've already negotiated a new director......"

"Who?"

"You should know that too, Benjamin Schreiber. ”

"He?...... guy" Ye Wei laughed angrily, "Jack, don't do anything stupid, Benjamin Schreiber will only mess up a qiē, the project we are talking about is a 35mm film project! His shooting ratio is 5:1, and you will run out of money halfway through the shooting, and I am only 3:1!"

There was a problem, but Schreiber said he could control it to 3:1. ”

"Control zhì, that means he will be restrained, I don't need control zhì to do it, why do you believe him and not me?"

"It's complicated, actually, we're going to shoot digitally...... You know, the proportions don't matter......"

"Jack...... Please!"

"No, I'm very sorry, I gave you the directing rights because Schreiber had other considerations, and now he has decided to come to me, so ...... That's it, but, I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, thank you for your dedication to "Love in the Midsummer", goodbye. ”

With a beep, he hung up over there, Ye Wei stood in place in a daze, angry, but there was nowhere to vent, and gradually seemed to burn him, and God played a joke with him again.

There was a bleak and heavy atmosphere in the apartment, as if the air had condensed.

Ryan looked stunned, "Benjamin Schreiber, they're looking for him to replace you?-!"

Schreiber is not without ability, and he is more in the limelight than Weiwei, but as long as you know movies, you know that that guy is actually too far behind Weiwei.

Only script deconstruction, scene scheduling, and leadership skills...... No one is better than Benjamin Schreiber! Even on the side of liberal education, the results of work-study programs are not worse than those of the other party. In Lane's opinion, among the graduates of this class of film and television production, no one can compare with Ye Wei.

He is not the only one who thinks so, every time he does a short film assignment in the past few years, except for those rich children who spend money, who is not vying to cooperate with Ye Wei?

The results are now ...... How can this be!

"It sucks. Ryan gasped angrily, "It's not fair. ”

Ye Wei suddenly laughed, shook his head and smiled: "I should have expected that Jack Davide was reluctant to sign a formal contract with me, it turned out that he had the idea of kicking me away from the beginning, just using me to bargain with Benjamin Schreiber, two sluts!"

"Forget it, Ryan, with such a producer, the film won't be better in the end. Let's do our graduation work with peace of mind, and when we graduate, we will raise money to produce the film ourselves!"

Ryan felt very unwilling and unconvinced, "I can't swallow this breath." ”

Ye Wei walked to the big board silently, tore off all the script analysis, storyboards and other drawings about "Love in the Midsummer" on it, crumpled it into a messy paper ball, and threw it all into the trash can next to him, unable to leave his eyes for a long time.

His heart hurts, like someone has ripped off a piece of his heart, but he is not a person who has not suffered setbacks after all, and this blow will not make him want to die or live.

Yes, it's not fair, but what?

"Oh no," Ryan suddenly remembered something, and his face changed again, "Then your advance payment is all in vain?"

"Of course, you expect that to give me 10,000 dollars?" Ye Wei spread his hands, "If he is willing to repay me a little label paper, he can get the Congressional Medal of Honor." ”

Ryan couldn't laugh at it, without that money, the budget for their team's graduation work suddenly went into a big depression, and they originally planned to shoot a few more exterior locations, but now they are all hanging, everything has to be controlled more strictly, and everything has become tense.

As a screenwriter on the team, the direct impact on him is that many things can only be kept in his own 90-minute graduation script, and in this short film version, it will be deleted and modified.

At this time, Ye Wei looked at his watch, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, "I have to go." ”

He is a part-time waiter at a restaurant near the school, and when he has free time, he goes to earn a little money to help make up for it. After that incident, the burden on his family has been very heavy, and over the years, if it weren't for his work-study and scholarships, he wouldn't have been able to get to this point.

"Don't go tonight, let's have a few drinks?"

"If you're trying to take advantage of my frustration and be lazy, you're in the wrong place. ”

Ryan smiled heavily, "Okay, be careful on the road, it's not been peaceful near the school lately, and you know that someone was robbed again a few days ago." ”

"Is there any peace near the school? Ask me about my bike, where is it now?"

Ye Wei lifted the backpack on the desk, opened the drawer of the desk, took out a bottle of pepper spray water and put it in his pocket, although he has some skills, but the bandits are all with guys, if you want to defend yourself, it is best to bring weapons.

"Be careful, anyway. ”

"I will. ”

Ryan shrugged his shoulders, turned to look at the computer screen, looked at it a few times, still distressed, he shouted to Ye Wei who was about to go out: "Hey, I really feel that my thoughts are a little blocked, what do you think?"

Ye Wei replied while thinking about wearing sneakers: "I want to ...... It's not just a line, it's that there's something wrong with the whole scene, the protagonist comes forward with too much purpose, he thinks too much, and he doesn't sacrifice anything afterwards. ”

"Ryan, you know, 'sacrifice' and 'sacred' come from the same root word sacr, people revere people who are willing to sacrifice, and once a person makes a sacrifice, he wears a divine aura.

But not at the expense of others, but at the expense of oneself, and truly selfless, for the sake of others or for a certain reason, he willingly stands up, pain, suffering, loss, it doesn't matter, then he is a noble and holy guy, and he will also win our respect.

The so-called heroes are different from us ordinary people. But heroes are better than us, not because they have supreme power, but because they are more willing to sacrifice than we are. If a child loses anything by saving a drowning adult, he will also be a hero!

The problem with the current script is that the protagonist is neither truly selfless nor sacrificial. You know, you don't need a reason to sacrifice, and your line is 'Because I'm a hero.'" As for what to sacrifice, how to change the script...... There's no time to discuss it now, so let's talk about it tomorrow. ”

"Damn, you're so right, I see!" Lane changed his face and a flash of light flashed in his mind as he heard this.

When he came back to his senses, he found that Ye Wei had already gone out.

At night, Ye Wei walked on Figulora Avenue in the north of the campus, his steps were fast, and he was vigilant of the movements around him.

USC connects to the notorious South Los Angeles district to the south, and a visit to it is like playing GTA, with drug dealers, gangsters, prostitutes, and more. So over the years, USC has ranked first in two places: the first in the film major in the United States, and the worst in the security of colleges in the United States.

At this hour, there are no pedestrians on the streets, and there are no vehicles coming and going, and this area is mostly residential, and some streets and alleys are even more remote, with the sides of buildings on both sides, or barbed wire fences erected high, through which you can see the houses and parking lots in the distance.

This is the kind of place that can be said during the day, but at night, especially in the early hours of the morning, it becomes a breeding ground for evil, and accidents have occurred frequently over the years.

Ye Wei's fast-food restaurant is on South Hoover Street, and he doesn't want to be late and lose his job because of the bad news tonight, and he has already warned him, so he has to take some paths. Since the area under your feet is still within the patrol range of the school police for the time being, you can rest assured, but like all police officers, their normal situation is to be one step late, and you can't fully count on it.

Without the salary of "Love in the Midsummer", the burden on the family is heavy again, and we must work harder......

Ye Wei thought about his thoughts, and gradually walked through the blocks, the night became darker and darker, and although he walked for Chinese New Year's Eve miles, he also had a strange feeling, as if something was wrong, there seemed to be a sound coming from a distance......

When he walked through a street corner, he saw a group of people frozen there in the depths of the street and alley where he turned right.

He was encountered, and less than thirty yards away, there were three gangster-looking guys, all holding pistols, gesturing at the four young Asians who were surrounding. Among the youth, some of them wore red shirts with the USC logo, apparently also USC students.

Ye Wei hid his figure against the wall, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone, and called the school police and 911 successively, all saying the same thing: "I'm probably in the southern section of Portland Street now, there is a armed robbery happening here, three bandits, four students, I'm on the corner of the street, yes, come over quickly!"

At the same time, the atmosphere was becoming more and more tense, and the students were anxiously discussing something: "Give them all, and you should break the fortune and prevent the disaster." "yes, don't you want to die? That's a real gun!"

The bandits may not be able to understand, but Ye Wei can, because they speak Chinese, and he is proficient in Chinese.

They are Chinese or Chinese students. He secretly scolded these compatriots, of course, it was a real gun, and he was rambling about something, so he quickly gave away the money and other things outside his body, safety first! Maybe he could still leave their car.

The students had a car with an open door next to them, and it was theirs, and it was not surprising that almost everyone in Los Angeles had a car, and it was just an old used Ford.

"You trash, don't make a sound!"

At this time, one of the bandits scolded and slapped the procrastinating boy in the face, "Do you want to drag someone to save you? hand over the money immediately, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill you all!"

"Don't, don't, the money is all for you, don't hurt us. At this time, the students did not dare to hesitate any longer, and hurriedly paid the money, and the two girls were about to cry.

The bandits took the small amount of dollar bills, and they were all very dissatisfied: "Why is it just like that? Aren't the Chinese very rich now?", "Yes, especially these USC students, who is not rich? Do you want to play tricks?"

A female student choked up and said urgently: "We are not the children of rich people, we are all part-time students, you see, this car is still a joint venture between the four of us to carpool, in order to return to school after the part-time job...... Our parents are just ordinary salarymen, and they are looking forward to us returning to China after studying abroad, please don't hurt us......"

The two boys were humiliated, but they were defenseless and did not dare to be angry.

"Shut up!" the bandit leader scolded again, looking at their car, it was really worthless, but when his eyes swept to the two schoolgirls again, he suddenly laughed: "Kiss my ass, these two Asian bitches are good-looking!"

The other two bandits also looked at each other, and came to their senses, and a lewd laugh rang out.

And the students were stunned.

"Get in the car, you two, get on board. The leader of the bandits brandished a gun and urged them to get into the car.

"Don't, don't, we'll give you the money, your phone, and your car, and don't call the police!

They knew exactly what the bandits wanted to do, and if the two girls got into the car, what awaited them was disappearance, rape, confinement, and death.

"Hurry!" couldn't stay any longer, the bandits pushed the two girls, "Get in the car!"

Naturally, they refused and struggled in horror, while the two boys stepped forward to pull the bandits. The leader of the bandits said angrily: "Shut up, you all shut up!" Suddenly, the boy at the head opened his throat and shouted: "help!!help!!"

"Stinky pig Chinese guy!" the bandit leader waved his pistol at the boy......

Bang!

A shot rang out at the piercing sound, accompanied by screams, exclamations, and cries.

"He's on the horse!" On the corner of the street, Ye Wei watched the boy fall in a pool of blood, and couldn't help but clench his fists and tremble, why haven't the school police and police arrived yet!!! He has to do something, he can't just look at it......

"Get in the car, get in the car!" Those bandits were also anxious, after all, shooting and killing people was serious.

The other boy had just woken up from his stupor, and he ran away like crazy.

Bang!

Another pool of blood, Ye Wei gritted his teeth and was about to break, if he didn't do something, it would be too late, it would be too late for a lifetime.

Watching those two girls get kidnapped?

Of course not! Ye Wei turned around and ran, about to turn around from another path, threw down his backpack, and reached for the pepper spray water in his pocket with his right hand......

"Get in the car,-son, get in the car if you don't want to die!", "Hurry up!" The three bandits pushed the two scared girls into the back of the car, and the bandit leader sat in the driver's seat, swearing and swearing: "Two fools, this is the end of provoking...... Where's the key!?Where's the damn key!?"

Another bandit sat in the passenger seat and instructed the pigtail-headed accomplice outside the car, "Look for it, it must be on that wordy guy!"

The two girls burst into tears, and the pigtail-headed bandits cursed the corpse on the ground......

Without warning, a figure rushed out of the dark alley behind him!

"What!?"

"Hell, there's a Chinese guy too!"

The screams in the car started, and the braided bandit didn't know what was going on, and as soon as he looked up and got up, a yellow spray rushed in, and his eyes immediately hurt so much that they seemed to burst out, and he instinctively screamed: "Ah......!"

The other two bandits were already pointing their guns outside the car.

There is only one chance! Ye Wei kicked the screaming bandit out of the car, when the gunfire rang out, the bandit just blocked the door of the car, he quickly snatched the pistol in his hand, his heart seemed to be suffocating, but he was unusually calm, his eyes were fiercely shining, you have provoked the wrong person!

Gripping the pistol tightly, he quickly stabbed the muzzle into the crack of the car door, and Ye Wei pulled the trigger again and again!

Bang! Bang!

The screams of the girls and the screams of the bandits rang out continuously, and the gunshots rang out until they turned into the click of empty bullets, except for the sirens of the cars, there was a dead silence.

The bandits blocking the door of the car didn't know how many shots they had been shot, and they were already dead, and when he fell to the ground, Ye Wei only saw that the two bandits in the front row of the car were also dead, they were both shot in the head, the front windshield was full of cracks, and the blood exploded into a mess.

The two girls in the back row were even more lost, their faces were pale and covered with splattered blood.

Although Ye Wei was still standing, he was almost unsteady, feeling out of breath, he bent down to look inside the car, and asked in Mandarin Chinese, "Are you okay?"

They stared at him blankly, completely unaware of where he was and what his condition was......

Then they could see that his chest was bright red, "Ahhh......h You've been shot. ”

When Ye Wei heard this, he felt a huge pain in his chest, and his whole body was weak, he could only sit down slowly by leaning on the car, and when he looked down, it seemed that he had been shot in the lungs.

He exhaled a long breath and looked at the night sky with a few bright stars, and in just a few seconds, it became more and more difficult to breathe, and great pain kept coming.

"USC this time...... It's time to jump to the worst ...... in the world for security."

At this time, the two girls stumbled out of the car, frightened and dumb by the scene in front of them, and they really couldn't say what they wanted to say.

"My brothers and sisters, has no one ever sued you...... What are you thinking?' 'Haha, fool,' that's the laughter of the Bren Bear. ”

Ye Wei looked at them and showed a tragic smile, blood gushed out from the corners of his mouth, and he coughed: "You guys...... Remember, don't make that mistake again......"

"I'm sorry......" They slowly regained their senses, and one of them trembled and took a mobile phone in the front row of the car to call 911.

"I've beaten it a long time ago, those rice buckets...... Not here yet. ”

Ye Wei couldn't breathe anymore, his lungs were filled with blood, he glanced at the bandit who fell to the side, coughed and smiled: "These bitches raised ...... Do you think you're filming "Bad Streets", now it's okay, suck-it, raised by a bunch of bitches, go die......"

"Wait...... Wait, my goodness...... I'm a hero now!haha, Ryan...... I thought of a good line: 'Every mortal has a hero gene in his body.' Also, there is the ...... 'It really hurts to be a hero.'" Either way, this sentence must be said by the protagonist...... Haha......"

"Classmate, hold on!" the two girls cried so hard that they were raining down, "Where are you from? Do you want to call home?"

"Sue my family, I love them...... I love them very, very much......"

Ye Wei's consciousness was blurred, he couldn't hear the sound of the outside world, and he gradually couldn't see the scene in front of him, as if he had lost focus, and instead of it, there were many illusions that kept flashing, former friends, former schools, and former homes......

That was before his life changed dramatically, he hadn't moved to another school, and he was still a young middle school teenager.

Am I going to die? No, my family still wants me to take on it, no, I haven't directed a movie yet, no......

My name has not yet shined among the great directors......

"You may call me...... Only. ”

......

"No !!!!!"

Ye Wei woke up suddenly, staring at his room. He turned on the bedside lamp, and Toto rushed in from outside the room, jumped onto the bed, and licked his wrinkled face.

"Oh girl, I'm fine. Ye Wei patted its head, turned its head to dodge, and its wrinkled eyebrows had not yet been loosened.

I had this nightmare again, and since that day two years ago, I have had this dream eight times if not ten times. All the time, he wondered what this dream was about, not going back to the past, maybe dreaming of the future, and learning something, like learning to walk when he was a baby, he didn't remember how many falls he fell, but he just walked, as if he was born with it.

He has tried to meditate on more future information in the dream, such as which Powerball number and how many more "Spider-Man" will be filmed...... However, I can't think of any information, except for some information about myself, even who Ryan is, and the more time passes, the more blurred it becomes, leaving only the night that I dreamed of from time to time.

Whether it was the future or not, it has been changed, and the future has long since become completely unknown once again.

Ye Wei looked at the row of movie posters on the opposite wall, the kicking cake poster of "The Wedding is Coming", the cross and shotgun poster of "Exorcism Video", and the trolley poster of "Little Sunshine Beauty". "Love in the Midsummer"?

Hello, I already have my own first, second, third feature films.

Two days later, on Saturday, LMS will premiere.

His future, the future of many, is on this track that he does not know where to go.

"How are you, Toto?" Ye Wei looked at Toto next to him and sat up, the sky outside the window was hazy and slightly bright, and it was more than five o'clock in the morning.

He got out of bed, changed into a gray and black tracksuit, came to the other end of the second floor outside the parents' master bedroom, lightly opened the half-hidden door and looked, his parents were still asleep, "You are so greedy to sleep, my son has nightmares so loud, I can't wake you up." ”

He smiled and shrugged, and then came to the room not far away, continuing the style of the baby's room, the walls were painted with children's graffiti, he and his father painted, walked to the children's wooden bed with guardrails, put the bear dolls and other puppets in place, and covered the flowers with the quilt that had been kicked off.

Duoduo slept soundly, a puddle of saliva on her pillow, and a large bag of candy that Halloween had begged for was placed next to her pillow.

"Hehe...... Ye Wei tiptoed into the burlap bag and grabbed a handful of candy, and Toto, who was witnessing the sin, was so anxious that he booed it: "It's not good for her to eat too much, Nina will come this weekend, and it will definitely be another bag." ”

Toto was still in a hurry, he opened one and fed it to it, and it suddenly quieted down, it turned out to be begging for candy.

"Follow, girl, let's go for a walk in the park. He walked outside, calling Toto.

The sky gradually brightened, Ye Wei took Toto to drive to the Barrington Dog Park not far away, parked the car, and just entered the park surrounded by barbed wire, he untied Toto's rope and let it run freely.

"Enjoy your early morning. Ye Wei smiled, and also began to do warm-up activities, preparing for daily self-training, and many things came to mind......

Sprints, switchbacks, jumps, ...... After training for a while, the sky was all bright, he was sweating, and Toto was no longer running but sniffing for something.

More and more people came to walk the dogs and morning luck, and there were more and more cars in the parking lot outside, and a white Maserati arrived.

"But?" A short time later, a ponytailed girl in a beige tracksuit jogged into the park, and was excitedly pounced by Toto, who then saw him and walked over.

Ye Wei also saw her, raised his hand and greeted, "Good morning, Jane." You don't have a dog, what are you doing here?" Lily rolled her eyes, "Do you believe that Trust will follow me?" Ye Wei laughed: "I really don't have confidence in it, it just betrayed Duoduo before." ”

It's no surprise that neither of them would meet each other here, and Barrington Dog Park is not far from their home, and it's where they first hang out and come here often. But this is the first time they have met, and they have been meeting all the time lately, even at school.

The two walked along and chatted, and Toto ran away to play again.

"There are two days left before the premiere, do you decide to attend or not?" Ye Wei asked.

The premiere of LMS will be held on November 5 at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, one of Hollywood's icons and one of the premiere film premieres. A grand premiere can take care of the superstar's face and expand the attention of LMS in the Los Angeles film critics' circle, so DreamWorks didn't save money on it.

"I ......," Lily hadn't made up her mind, "I haven't figured it out yet." "I don't know if it's suitable or not.

"Attend. Ye Wei said invitingly, "Our 161 Dream Chaser Alliance shareholders will attend, just you." ”

Yes, I'm also a shareholder!" Lily finally thought about it and nodded: "I'm going to attend, I'll call my dad to go with me, add popularity to LMS, he has a little bit of influence." ”

"That's even better, I haven't seen Phil in a long time and kind of miss him. ”

"He doesn't miss you. ”

"Like his style. ”

Walking and chatting, Ye Wei gradually became silent, and wanted to confide in something, "Lily...... It's nothing. ”

Lily saw it, and frowned: "Is something wrong? Hey, about the movie?" Ye Wei frowned, wanted to say it a few times but didn't know how to say it, his eyes were fixed: "Yes, about the Oscar for Best Picture, they don't want to sign my name." Lily was stunned: "Who?what?"

At that moment, he told everything about the whole thing, and his face couldn't help but show a gloomy face.

She listened quietly, her face changed more and more, raised two eyebrows, her eyes were full of anger, and when he said it, she said heavily: "Don't listen to them, absolutely not." ”

"This is your movie! But even if there are no nominations, having a literary film at the age of 17 or 18 that has been submitted for the Oscar is already an extraordinary achievement. If you listen to them, whether or not they are nominated, and those people are benefited, but what about you? People will say that you haven't really done much work, otherwise why don't you sign it?"

Lily paused, walked up to him, and said face to face, "You must sign it!"

"I know the pros and cons. Ye Wei looked up at the sky that sprinkled the morning light, "I am working hard, I still have the opportunity to evaluate and explode at the box office, and I also have the opportunity to lobby the judges in person for the cocktail party, but if it is not successful, what should I do? I must also consider this possibility, time is running out." ”

"Anyway, byline. Lily said firmly, "There's no reason why you don't sign your name." ”

Ye Wei walked past her with a groan, sat down on the empty bench, got up and walked again, and said, "Oscar nomination for Best Picture, that's a huge honor." Maybe the outside world doesn't know, but you know, my family, the people I care about, everybody knows, our movies are top-notch, we have Oscar nominations! As for the people I don't care about, what's the ......?"

"No!" Lily's tone was urgent and tough, and she walked up to him again, "You know what I care about? I don't care if LMS gets nominations or awards...... It's the process, the process of you, us, and everyone working together, just like LMS said, success or failure is not the most important, we ...... You have to have that kind of open-mindedness. ”

While thinking about her thoughts, she said, "What I care about is whether we will hear your name at the moment when we announce the nominations;

"Did you know that 'sacrifice' and 'sacred' come from the same root word sacr. Ye Weimu looked struggling, still thinking about something.

"I don't know!" Lily cried out excitedly, like anger, like anger, like rebuke, like persuasion, "You want to sacrifice yourself? It depends on who you sacrifice for, and it's an idiot to sacrifice for Gary Gozman!"

"Who cares about them!?" Ye Wei was also a little excited, and his face turned red, "I'm for you! The entire Dream Chaser Alliance, the whole of us! Get the nomination, everyone has honors, I have got a lot, fame, money, dreams come true, a lot, what does it matter without this!"

"What you get is what you work for, and I don't know anyone at 15 who would dare to tell a superstar to come and act in my movie, except you. ”

Lily's eyes were filled with tears, and she suddenly stretched out her fist and hit him on the shoulder, as if to wake him up, and her voice was very serious: "Ye Wei, you listen to me, "Little Sunshine Beauty" is your movie and your achievement, what you need to do now is to call those people and say **-you, and then identify the target of getting the nomination with your signature, go, go, go!"

Ye Wei didn't speak, his face changed......

"Hey!!" Lily was so annoyed, too afraid that he would be stupid, and she didn't know how she could do it, so she hugged him and hugged him tightly, "Promise me......! Listen to me once......"

After a brief moment of silence, she felt herself hugged by him for a moment, and then pushed away.

"them. Ye Wei said, there was no hesitation in his voice, "them! All the big guys, you! I promised, no matter what the results are, I will still have to sign the name! Best Picture, Best Editing, and of course, Best Director, vigor-yes, one letter less, I'll them!"

Looking at him, Lily smiled, her eyes bright and moving.

"Even if Hanks persuades me, Roberts persuades me, Spielberg persuades me, to hell with it! It doesn't matter what they think, if they come and say "Boy, you're done, to hell with me!"

Ye Wei also smiled and looked at her, "If you want to ask why, ask Lily Collins to go, I will listen to her." ”

"Haha!" Lily laughed, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes, "because our time has come!"

"Really?" Ye Wei was a little puzzled, "Let's have a martini, shake it, don't stir it." ”

Lily immediately opened a glass of wine with both hands, took the glass and poured it, shook it, and handed it to him. Ye Wei took the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all, and after a loud sound, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Yes, that's right, our time has come!!!"

He spread his hands and ran forward shouting. Toto followed, running excitedly.

The morning sun was shining brighter and brighter, illuminating the open park and warming, and Lily stood there smiling and watching, the autumn breeze blowing her hair.
