The banquet hall was lively, and guests from all walks of life walked around at will, laughing and talking in twos and threes, forming a buzzing voice. Celebrity guests are naturally the most popular conversation partners, and several adult celebrities are surrounded by many people.

But in a corner of the banquet hall outside the bustle, Ye Wei was drinking a glass of cold juice while looking at an oil painting on the wall that he didn't know who had painted it, and he didn't want to participate in the communication.

He is not a person who does not understand or do not like to socialize, last time in the almost same banquet hall, he shook the audience with his words, but today he was really not interested, in fact, he did not want to come at all.

"Hello, you are Ye Wei, Lily's boyfriend, right, I'm Lily's friend. Suddenly, a girl's voice sounded behind him.

Ye Wei turned his head to look, and saw a brown-haired white girl, dressed in a smart black jumpsuit knee-length skirt, also holding a glass of juice, two slender eyebrows, pursing her lips, no expression, seemed to be a little tired, see clearly, just grow into this temperament.

He thought, oh, "Marty" Kristen Stewart from "Little Ghost Thief".

I remembered that I had seen a public service announcement on TV about the prevention and treatment of sexual assault on campus, so CDF invited her as well.

"I know you, Kristen Stewart, it's a pleasure to meet you. Ye Wei nodded at her, and said: "Lily doesn't like to call our relationship boyfriend and girlfriend, she likes long-term dates, but whatever, it's boyfriend and girlfriend." ”

"She didn't tell me about that. Christine still didn't have any expression, and looked at Ye Wei a few times, "Listen to her, do you have some opinions on my performance?"

Ye Wei shrugged, "No, I've seen your performances in "Trembling Space" and "Little Ghost and Thief", I think you control your girlishness very well, when you are soft, when you are tough, you have your own way of understanding and interpretation, you are creating a zào role, not just letting yourself be there, which is great." ”

Christine was slightly stunned, probably didn't expect to hear such a compliment from him, she said, "That's not what Lily said. ”

"I don't know. Ye Wei still remembers what he commented on Lily, maybe he only talked about the shortcomings, you can't praise another girl in front of another girl.

"She said you think I have a dull expression. ”

"That's like I said, some scenes would be better with more expressions. ”

"But I didn't have NG on set. ”

Hearing her words, Ye Wei couldn't help but think that this guy was really a thorn, she was clearly saying that David Fincher thinks it's good, you think it's not good, isn't that funny? Although he is not in the mood, it doesn't mean that he will be talked down by a 14-year-old girl, and then said: "But I didn't see you get an Oscar nomination." ”

"Huh. Christine grinned at the corners of her mouth, unable to refute it, "Huh." ”

"That's it. Ye Wei took a sip of juice, his combat effectiveness was really weak.

After a while, he didn't say anything, and Christine didn't say anything, but he didn't walk away, looking at the lively crowd not far away. After another while, she suddenly said: "Looking at your interviews and articles, I really don't see that you are a person who doesn't like to talk." ”

"No, my mouth hurts. Ye Wei casually, feeling like he had returned to his previous viy, and casually said viciously: "It hurts a little to talk to you, like some kind of punishment." ”

"Huh. Christine was not angry, but her tired breath was lessening, and her eyes were interested, "I have seen your short film, it is very good, you have such a directorial talent at such a young age, it really surprises me, Lily said before, I don't believe it." ”

"Thank you. Ye Wei smiled, since the other party showed goodwill, he would not continue to attack stingily, or speak casually: "Do you know the 'cocktail party effect'?"

"I don't know. ”

But you listen to the surroundings, how loud the voice, how many people are talking at the same time, why can't you hear the background sound, but you can hear my track? This is the cocktail party effect, when we focus on a certain sound, we can do it. ”

"And what do you want to say?" Christine rarely asks anyone that, and this time she really doesn't understand what the other person means.

Ye Wei spread his hands: "A scientific knowledge, cocktail party effect, do you need me to repeat it?"

"No, you don't. She looked at him and said a little nonsensically, "You are very cult." ”

"Speaking of cults, I'm reminded of The Dinner Game, and maybe we're in one of those games right now, being fooled and laughed at by who doesn't know. Ye Wei glanced at the smiling people in front of him, "I'm not saying that it's bad to do charity, but how many people are here to put on a show, including me, I didn't want to come but came." You see how happy they are, as if to say, 'Thank God for giving us a bunch of unfortunate children so that we can do charity, we can have an evening party.'" ’”

Christine smiled again, appreciating the words, "I don't want to be here either, and I'm not going to attend anymore, it's boring." ”

"Human beings know how to choose to listen to what they want to hear, and people choose to hear that charity cocktails are good, but they can't hear bad things. ”

"So that's what you're trying to say. ”

"Maybe, maybe not. ”

At this time, both of them watched Jeremy Sumpter come over with a smile on his face, which was almost the fulfillment of what he had just said.

"Hey!" Sampter greeted the two with a smile, introduced himself, looked at Christine all the time, and enthusiastically said that he had seen her movie: "You acted awesomely, awesome! ”

"Yours is not bad either. Christine replied.

At present, Sampter's popularity is much greater than Christine's, "Peter Pan" is a box office failure, but "Little Ghost Thief", which only received 16.7 million North American box office at a cost of 12 million, is not much better, but despite this, Christine's star journey is brighter than him, she has two independent films that will be released this year, "No More Silence" (protagonist) and "Dark Tide" (supporting role), the just-completed "Love Forever" (supporting role), and the sci-fi blockbuster "Jumanji 2", which will be filmed in August (Protagonist). And Sampter just went to shoot a TV series.

So Sampter talked to her as if he was talking to the president's daughter, and he kept firing with his eyes, and as for the Asian guy next to him, he had really heard a little about it, but when he thought about it before, he knew what a movie genius was.

"Haven't asked yet, are you?" Seeing that this guy was a bit of an eyesore, he asked as if he didn't know him, "You and Christine?"

"I'm Ye Wei, and we just met. Ye Wei replied.

That's fine, Sampter has done some research, Kristen Stewart's date is Michael Angelano, nothing is wrong with this leaf. So you can use it boldly. He immediately looked apologetic and said, "I'm really sorry just now, I didn't expect to enter with you, I didn't mean to." Those reporters are like that, and sometimes it's annoying. ”

"It's nothing, I'm Ye Wei. Ye Wei said, he is not a fool, he can naturally see that Sampter is hypocritical, and seems to be apologizing, but in fact, it is more like showing off.

"What's going on?" Christine was interested.

"It's all my fault. Sampter sighed and drank the drink in his hand, and talked about the scene-stealing things that happened before, with a review tone: "I have seen the leaves, I should have stopped, but I thought ...... Hey, I'm sorry anyway, Ye, I'll pay more attention next time, by the way, are you also an actor?"

"Not really, my main job is a director. ”

"Director?" Hearing that the other party was so self-proud, Sampt couldn't help laughing, and looked at Christine, Jun had a playful smile on his face, "What director?"

If you want to pick up a girl, you have to be cool, and one way to be cool is to have a clown next to you who makes girls feel funny and pitiful, in his case, the "genius" Ye Wei is the clown.

"Film director. Ye Wei said to himself, he could already see the other party's tricks, and he was really not interested in being wordy, "Lose your company, you can talk." ”

"Wait!" Samput didn't let him go, his face was full of surprise and amusement, and he made a push movement in his hand, and asked, "You're about the same age as us, and you're going to be a director, that's amazing." I just want to know what you've done, I'll go back and have a look. ”

Ye Wei shrugged his shoulders and replied: "A short film "Dance of Angels" and a remake of a feature film called "The Wedding is Coming", the latter has not yet been released. ”

"Theaters?, you mean, it's going to be theaters?!" Sampt was shocked again, "Wow!What schedule?How many theaters are opening?What theaters?Wow!!"

He tried his best to be funny, but Christine didn't have any expressions, and I really don't know if it worked.

"Yes, none of the ones you asked have been confirmed yet, but it will be released in theaters. ”

"Really? That's great, how much box office do you expect?" Sampter continued to ask with a smile, shaking his head like a big brother, "I tell you, the box office stuff is annoying, and it's going to be a weekend to watch, and it's going to be a week, and you're going to keep an eye on the charts...... But you shouldn't have the pressure of these leaderboards, that's good, there was no expectation at the beginning and there was no disappointment. ”

Ye Wei's eyes gathered, does this guy think that if he plays a Peter Pan and has some fame, he can casually humiliate others? It's a pity, I'm not the kind of soft bone that highlights your wisdom and martial arts. He laughed and said leisurely: "Speaking of the box office, it's a pity that the "Peter Pan" you starred in turned out to be like that, I didn't dare to open the charts to see it, but do you know why? Why don't the audience watch it? Because they just can't accept that you stinky-plays Peter Pan." ”

With that, he walked towards the crowd in front of him.

Sampt froze in place, his face full of rage, "Really, why are you swearing, oh really!" he looked at Christine, "That guy is so rude." ”

But he was right. Christine lifted the juice in her hand and walked to the other side.
