"Brother Wei, in Los Angeles? Did you read today's Los Angeles Times?"

"No, I'm busy with a script for a new project, and mornings are a good time to write. ”

"Look at the Los Angeles Times, there's a surprise, haha!"

"What surprise?"

"Just look at it, it's cool. ”

Early in the morning of Saturday, December 31, Ye Wei was revising the script of "Soul Surfer" at home, and the draft was already available, but there was still a lot of work to be done.

At this time, he received a call from Lev, and the other party's excited words made him puzzled, so he stopped, kept the call, got up and left the bedroom, and came to the living room downstairs.

"That's cool!" Lev on the other end of the phone sighed repeatedly.

"Did Bard run naked and made the news?" Ye Wei picked up a LAT and looked at the front page, nothing special.

"Cooler than that!"

"What version?"

"You'll have to find it yourself, it's a surprise, man. ”

Ye Wei sat down on the sofa and continued to turn over the pages of this newspaper, and when he turned to a page of single-page advertisement, he was stunned, and then laughed: "Wow! Thank you......

The full-page color advertising page was bought by the same advertisement, with a red background, and two large lines of gold letters at the top: "VIY, HAPPY-NEW-YEAR!"

There are paper airplanes flying with the words "Harvard-Westlake" and "Chase-Dream-League", a full-page advertisement for the Harvard-Westlake Dream League Club.

And then there's an article with a decent text size:

"Attention! We are not spoiled rich kids, the cost of this advertisement comes from the expected profit from our investment in "Little Sunshine Beauty", the crowdfunding took only one hour, and the whole operation was carried out without Ye Wei's knowledge. We would like to express our heartfelt wishes to Ye Wei and inform everyone that VIY is not bad.

Because he couldn't control his anger for a while, he impulsively hit someone, he broke the law and was also expelled from school. Legally, there is no doubt about his mistakes, but not as some people blogger and comment that he was a violent maniac, that he had lost the respect of his friends, that he deserved it.

None of the student representatives on the Honor Committee, which made the expulsion decision that day, voted in favor.

We understand that the principal said "the law is the law" and we just don't want to lose him. It's not that we don't know right from wrong, we just know better. We love him, we love him when he was just our VIY, we still love him when he becomes everyone's VIY, life is always changing, but he is still him.

Ye Wei said that he was just his own hero and someone else's criminal.

No, VIY, you're our hero too.

This is the testimonial that we will sign in your graduation book, and I regret and firmly sign it here:

Abra-A: Thank you, because of you, my life is more exciting. I wish you more good movies, and that may be the only good aspect of your school expulsion. Happy New Year!

Angie-A: While we don't have a close relationship and could be disciplined by the school for saying that, I'd say that expelling you is the most stupid, disgusting, and wrong decision.

......

Lev-B: We've known each other for 10 years, and you've always been my best friend, and I hope our friendship will last forever. Happy New Year!

Knoll-C: What is high school phobia? I just know that no one in school can bully me, because I was bullied, find Ye Wei, and you will be fine.

Connie-H: I just said casually, you helped me accomplish my dream. Never forget jì. Happy New Year!

Jane-L: "Oh my God, you losers, this money is enough for me to make a movie!" But there are some things that must be done. I will work hard in the studio by myself with a pizza, a big reason is because of the encouragement you give me, thank you. I wish you a happy new year, keep up the good work, and have a smooth journey!

Trist-L: A lot of people are in a bad mood because of your impulsiveness, it's a big sin, God bless you. If you were to rate you overall, cool.

Bard M: Brother Wei, I'm lucky to know you, I'm sorry I can't graduate with you, geniuses always have to go first. But you were expelled, I feel so deeply that there is no hope in this country, this is not conservative and not free, this is nonsense!!

......

Larry P: We're going to win the soccer league, for you!

Colwin-R: We're good friends because of movie dreams, it's really incredible, I'm a nerd, you're a popular king, and it's a big joke to say that you can bully people.

Courtney-T: My biggest complaint about you is that you're too busy to join the filmmaking club, but you gave us a precious copy of the storyboard, thank you!

BABU S: VIY, YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO BE A POPULAR PERSON, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY IDOL, COME ON!

Laurel-S: Your tremendous help to me and my classmates should let everyone know that I'm not a member of the Dream Catcher Alliance, but I'm proud to be a part of this operation.

MICHAEL S: Are you a bad person? Why do you have this problem? I don't understand, the VIY I know is a complete hero!

Andre-Z: Can't say how grateful I am to you, because of you, I am free from all kinds of bullying, I have found a purpose in life, even a lover, thank you!

......』

The full-page advertisement has hundreds of student testimonials, Ye Wei looked at it, his heart and eyes were hot, really, his horse is cooler than Bard running naked! But this is not like Lev's idea, how can Lev have such good organizational skills......

He looked at the "Jane-L", a smiling face loomed in front of him, and asked Lev, "Whose idea?"

Lev's happy voice came from the phone: "Who else could it be, Lily, after you and Master Gia left that day, she came to us and said, 'We will be scolded to death by the outside world, we have to do something', and then she said the idea." We gave Lily the money and the testimonials, and she did the rest, which was cool. ”

"yes. Ye Wei was not the slightest surprised, who else could it be if it wasn't the eldest lady, and he didn't know what to do in his heart, "But how can this cost 200,000, 200,000, right? God, you losers, this money is enough for me to make a movie!"

"It's worth it, it's worth it, it's not in your way, the big nose love saint knows you're calling, haha!" Lev smiled, "A hint, don't let Nina know." ”

"It's okay, Lily and I...... Forget it, fuck off, bye-bye. ”

Ended the call, Ye Wei looked at the page of the newspaper, feeling that it was so heavy that it would overwhelm the coffee table underneath, everyone, thank you, Lily, thank you.

After a while, after reading each testimonial carefully, he pressed his phone and sent a group text message: "Wow! Look at the Los Angeles Times! Why are you so cool? Thank you very much!!Happy New Year!"

I received replies from everyone one after another, full of laughter, excitement, and many surprises?

When it was time for breakfast, Lily also replied, "It's nothing, it's also to protect our honor." Happy New Year!"

Ye Wei didn't reply again, this is enough for the estranged relationship that he said he needed.

The reactions of the people who saw the special advertisement of the "Los Angeles Times" on this day were mixed, but they all sighed, these young people are really crazy!

Leslie Dart was very happy when she learned about it, this is not the public relations plan of the Dart team, but it is done awesomely! It is too critical to fight criticism and smear voices! The key is not this advertisement, LAT's audience is limited, the key is this matter, this news is promoted on the Internet, so that more fans know and spread, and VIY's image will naturally become more positive.

Alice Siebold and others supported him, these classmates also supported him, and people did not spit on him.

This is the truth, Ye Wei is not a good baby, he is a little bad, a bad boy with good charm.
