Chapter 64: Walk with Me
"Wayne, you have to watch that student short, oh my ...... It's incredible! You have to take a look, and then we'll renegotiate the choice of 'Opal'. ”
"What's wrong? Is that short film okay?"
"Okay? After you read it, you wouldn't say that. It was actually made by a high school student, the director, cut and soundtrack, can you believe it?! That kid is a genius! It's a genius! Wayne, seriously, I don't think it will be a few years, when it comes to Chinese directors, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is not you, not Ann Lee, it's him, it's him, it's him......"
"Oh, oh...... Okay, I'll watch it today, and I'll call you after watching it. ”
In the spacious hall, after putting down the mobile phone, Wang Ying's old face was full of confusion, he had worked together for a while, he knew that Trevo Albert was not a person who spoke exaggeratedly, and the reason why the other party praised the short film was close to madness, then "Dance of Angels" must be wonderful.
A Chinese high school student, pushing his glasses, Wang Yingyue was a little curious, until this phone call, he had always thought that the so-called short film was just the last resort of Anna Sophia Robb's agency team: rushing to shoot something that was quite a third round of auditions, and deliberately said that it was a Chinese work, so as to get closer to him.
Wang Ying didn't like this, and in the second round of auditions, the result was actually very clear, and Saoirse Ronan won.
What's the point of doing these little actions again, so he didn't even look at that dVd for more than a day, and almost forgot about it.
By the way, where did I put that dVd? Wang Ying still had to think about it, and then remembered that she didn't take it out in her briefcase.
Now Albert's call is really an accident, what's going on?
He was born in Hong Kong in 1949, and when he was 18 years old, he came to the United States alone to work hard, relying on hard work, from a farm handyman, to a film director.
He made his debut at the age of 33, and only made his first Hollywood commercial film at the age of 53, "Manhattan Cinderella", which was not bad, giving him a small place in the cruelly competitive Hollywood industrial machine, and then the second commercial film, "It's All Daisy's Fault", with a cost budget of more than 10 million.
Although he can't stand the creative imprisonment brought by the Hollywood industry, rhythmic and emotional...... But as long as you take over the job, you must do your best and be loyal to others and yourself. This is why he is not an old farm handyman today.
Since the beginning of the year, "It's All Daisy's Fault" has started the preliminary preparations, and now all aspects have been almost done, but the choice of the heroine has not been decided.
A few days ago, the third round of auditions ended, and Saoirse Ronan won, and if she made a sample film that went through the process, the crew would sign a contract with her.
I thought that the candidate had been decided, but I didn't expect another accident, Albert praised it so much, Wang Ying couldn't help but look at it, and he really became very interested.
"Where's my briefcase?" he looked around, there was no one on the sand, and he was about to look for it, when the old wife Miao Qianren shouted from the kitchen: "Wayne, come here and help!"
"Oh, here we are!"
......
In Las Vegas, after more than an hour of flight, at nearly 6 p.m., Ye Wei's flight landed at McCulran International Airport.
After getting off the plane, Ye Wei sent a text message to his parents to report his safety, and hurriedly left the airport, took a taxi, and went to the Caesars Palace Hotel.
Ten minutes later, he could see the golden five-star hotel in ancient Rome, and he couldn't help but stare at it, "Come on, go win the game!"
......
Because of the time difference, the clock points are different all over the United States, and the members of the Dream Chaser Alliance have calculated the time for synchronous viewing, and during the time before and after Las Vegas 2o:oo, no matter where you are and what you are doing, you must turn on the TV and play the "Dance of Angels" dVd!
It's best to bring your family and friends, and everyone around you to enjoy this 1o minute feast together!
Most people are ready to watch it at their residence, and some people are ready to go to the shopping mall they are shopping to, or at any store or entertainment venue on the street, and ask the owner to help play it......
"Definitely not a bad image! Oh my God, do you think I look like that kind of person? What!?I'm obscene!?"
"Sir, help, this short film is guaranteed to bring you more customers, I'll lend it to you for one night. ”
"This is a professional work made by VIy! VIy is the hero of our school, let me tell you about his deeds......"
"He's a dreamer, he's a leader, he's a man!"
Meanwhile, New York, which is three hours ahead of Las Vegas, so it's already 9 p.m., and Manhattan is even more beautiful on Christmas Eve, with a giant Christmas tree erected in front of the Rockefeller Center building, and the streets are lit with shiny Christmas lights, and there are not many tourists dressed as Santa Claus......
If there was Santa Claus, I don't know what his expression would be, but people were happy anyway, and it was a sleepless night.
The Waldorf Astoria Hotel, where Lily and her mother, father's family, sister and brother's family, have been staying here for the past few days, of course, in different luxury suites, except for the children, the two ex-wives do not want to meet their ex-husbands.
That night, Lily first ate the first half of the Christmas dinner with her mother in the hotel restaurant, then went to her father's table for the second half, and went to her sister and brother's table to greet her.
Then, except for the two ex-wives, everyone went back to their father's suite to rest and reunite.
But it wasn't long before the whole family sat on the sand watching TV and laughing, and they couldn't stay any longer, and they were ready to disband, and they all went out to play, except for Lily, who thought everyone could stay until 11 o'clock.
"After 11:23:15, shall we go out again? Jolie, Simon, Daddy?"
Lily stopped in front of the door of the suite, smiled earnestly, looked at her sister, brother, and father, and shouted to her stepmother and brother in the back, "Orion, Nick, what do you say?"
"No interest. 27-year-old Simon Collins said mockingly, and his fat body was about to continue walking, "It's boring to stay here." ”
"Wait!" Lily just stopped and wouldn't go.
A puzzled smile rose into Phil Collins' old face and asked, "Lily, why?"
"yes, you make it clear to us, right?" Jolly Collins, 31, was also laughing, not getting it either.
"Okay......" Lily couldn't keep it mysterious, and wanted to reveal it slowly, but she said helplessly, "You guys come here." She led everyone to the classical sand, took out a dVd disc from her handbag, and smiled a little sweeter, "Boom! Guess what this is?"
"Please, guess what, you're wasting your time. Simon was a little impatient, "Dad's concert video?"
"Lily, your track and field video?" Jolly guessed as well, she remembered that Lily was on the track and field team at school, and the event she played seemed to be pole vault.
Simon suddenly guessed again: "It's not like you're also playing rock 'n' roll, album netbsp; Hearing this, Phil Collinston's eyes were expectant, "Really?"
"No!" Lily smiled helplessly, their reaction was not as interesting as expected, and she said, "This is a short film made by a good friend of mine from the same school, professional level, very well shot! I want everyone to watch it together, Dad, there's a surprise in it, you'll love it!"
"Oh?" Phil Collins was actually a little disappointed, a short film of a good friend? that wasn't what he wanted.
"Do you want to watch it now?" Jory looked at the large LCD TV on the wall over there, and at this time, Orion dragged his son Nicholas back from the bathroom, and asked curiously, "What are you watching?" Simon said in a teasing tone: "Lily's DV video of a child. ”
"It's not a dV video, it's a professional digital photography, you just have to look at it. Lily smiled, "But not now, wait until 23:oo, okay? Let's stay here for two more hours and watch "How Beautiful Life is" again." ”
She hopes that the whole family will repeat "How Beautiful Life is" every Christmas Eve, but unfortunately never.
"Lily, why wait until 23:oo?" asked Phil Collins, puzzled.
"Because it was a synchronous viewing at that time, many of us agreed to call our families to share ......" Lily rolled her eyes coquettishly and smiled, "Anyway, this is a cool thing!"
However, everyone is not very interested, and the coolness of teenagers is, in other words, stupid.
Simon looked down at his watch, "You're either going to broadcast now, or I'm leaving." Phil Collins wasn't too supportive either, "Two hours is too long." Qiao Li knew that everyone had made up their minds, so she persuaded: "Lily, let's broadcast it now?"
They all invariably ignored her idea of watching "How Beautiful Life is" together, and thought it was a joke, after all, the film was not suitable for their "family".
"Guys, listen to me......" Lily's smile faded away, "This simultaneous viewing has a lot of meaning, and I promise that the short film will be wonderful......"
There's also a surprise gift in there! Dad, it's for you. She silently added in her heart, which was the main reason why she was here, instead of preparing to watch with her mother.
"Oh, please, let me guess what it was filmed, class, fight?" Simon's mockery and impatience intensified, "Isn't it just a middle school student's film?"
"As I said, it's a 1o minute short film! "Lily is a little weak.
Jolly said softly, "Lily, everyone wants to go out and play, so let's watch it first, right? If it's cool, it'll be cool to watch now." ”
"No...... Joli, this is also a kind of support, a kind of peer ...... A ...... to share"
"Daddy, I want to go out and see the Christmas tree!" said Nicholas, his little face full of demand.
"Haha!" Phil Collins looked at his youngest son, then at his youngest daughter, hesitating what to do. Nicholas called out again, "Daddy!" and he suddenly laughed, "Lily, Nick has wanted to see the night view of the giant Christmas tree for a long time, can you come back and watch the short film?"
"Ignore her, I don't know what to do. Simon walked to the door first, "I asked a few friends to go to the bar, bye-bye!"
Lily stood in place, holding the dVd disc in both hands, her face was gloomy, watching Simon stride away, watching her father walk towards the door with Orion and Nick, "Lily, come on!" looked at Jolly who was still trying to persuade something......
"Once, once......" she suddenly whispered, her voice rising rapidly, and roared out like a bomb exploding: "Once!!Can you hear what I have to say!!Can you hear what I say!!Listen to what I think!!...... I !!"
There was silence, everyone stopped in a daze, and Simon, who had not gone far in the corridor, walked back and asked in amazement at the door, "...... What's wrong?"
Lily took a deep breath and froze herself, "I'm sorry, guys, I just wanted to...... Just wanted to ......"
"Lily, it's okay, we're all listening to you......" Jolly was the first to come back to her senses, gently comforting.
"I'm sorry...... I'm out of company. Lily lowered her head to put the dVd disc back in her handbag and walked briskly to the bathroom, wiping tears from the corners of her eyes.
Until the sound of the bathroom door closing, everyone was still silent.
......
In Las Vegas, at dusk, Ye Wei dragged his suitcase and walked into the lobby of Caesars Palace Hotel.
