Chapter 190: I was young when I left my hometown
"What? You say it again, Canada! I studied so hard that I finally got into Harvard-Westlake, and you turned around and went skating in Canada, you can kill me......
When Jiya heard the news, she almost went crazy, and her screams came from her mobile phone: "You know that I am interested in returning to school because of you, and it is hell Harvard-Westlake! What am I going to do now......? Bastard ......"
"You have too much to do, we have to create a Dream League club in the high school, and then go to glory! ”
"It's also a thing, I thought about it, I'm going to win the Ye Wei Award at next year's film festival, but I can't let you go all by yourself. ”
"That's right, come on, all of us come on. ”
"Hmm...... However, I will take care of the club, you take care of yourself, if you want to drink, sue me, I will take you to my vineyard to drink to your heart's heart's content, and it is no problem to get drunk. ”
"You're so serious, I'm so unaccustomed to ......"
"Seriously, take care of yourself and don't let me lose track of what I'm chasing. ”
"Oh well. ”
Ye Wei's heart was warm, and after informing Jiya, she would ward Anna Sophia, Xiao Nizi had just finished filming her role in the scene, and was returning to her hometown in Denver to enjoy a leisurely late summer, and it would not premiere until late November, and it would not be until February next year, and she would not take over the drama again before the harvest.
However, she really wanted to make a cameo, whether it was a passerby, Ye Wei told her that it depended on whether there was a suitable opportunity to decide.
"I know you well there, if there's anything you don't understand, you can call me and ask. ”
Isn't it that I stayed in Toronto for two months during the shooting, Ye Wei laughed and replied to her: "Okay, I just count on you to cover me." ”
"Of course I do! There are things I've wanted to talk to you about for a long time. Anna Sophia didn't smile either, she still had a childish voice that was gentle: "No matter what the outside world says about you, I know what kind of person you are, in my heart, VIY is a tall, wise, kind, and humorous good boy."
When you fall, he will pick you up, when you get lost, he will bring you back, when you are complacent, he will say, 'Pay attention to the chick', and when you are lost and depressed, he will say, 'Be strong and shock the world'. He's just that good.
And when he gets lost, I bring him back, when he falls, I pick him up, when he faces difficulties, I tell him, 'Believe in yourself, nothing can beat you!'
However, whether as a good friend or as a date, I will always support you, always. ”
"Ana......" Ye Wei felt an indescribable emotion, "Thank you, thank you." ”
"Hehehe, how about it, I have thought about these words for a long time! There is another sentence: So, I already have a heart for Ye Wei, and I will never give up Ye Wei. ”
"Thank you, you are an angel, Anasophia Robb, you are an angel sent by God to bring warmth to the world. ”
"Are you moved?"
"Impressed. ”
......
With Ye Wei's recent strong exposure, the box office has naturally rebounded, just like the good thing in the bad, IFC is determined to seize this last opportunity to do the final touch, and strive to break through the 40 million North American box office.
All the news is good news?Brian, Leslie, Gozman, and the others know no, just because the viy is so cool!
The growth of his popularity in all aspects is reflected in the search popularity of the Internet, and looking at the upward straight line, the situation does not seem to be bad.
Ye Wei also kept his promise for the time being, did not continue to drink, did not continue to make trouble, and did not participate in the party duì pleasure, although there were so many various party duì and nightclub activities invited him to attend, but he refused all on the grounds that he was busy with work, and he was indeed busy with the preliminary preparations.
Hanks also saw that the bad of viy is not the kind of bad that child stars self-destruct, but wild and uninhibited, how can a genius have no character, so he is a lot more relieved.
The doubts from the outside world have not stopped, and the interest in Ye Wei's gossip has not stopped, who is this little girl's friend, and how will this kid squander it with a budget of 5 million?
But they didn't know that Ye Wei was leaving Los Angeles, the bustling metropolis and the world center of the film and television entertainment industry.
Unlike the two major centers of Los Angeles and New York, although Toronto is Canada's largest city, and in recent years it has become a new studio because of tax incentives and low costs, it is just as deserted in terms of media attention, far from Hollywood, far from Broadway and fashion, with little activity, no paparazzi, and it is difficult to take valuable photos there, not to mention missed opportunities, and to endure the cold weather there, where there is literally nothing.
People who are used to living in LA or NY probably don't like Toronto, where celebrities and celebrities live like exile.
After Ye Wei passed, he would first take care of the enrollment and boarding matters, and then continue to participate in the preparations after these were settled, Hele and they would not stop, he had already arranged the affairs at this stage, this was originally a tourist holiday.
Because he wants to live in a host family, Old George will not follow him for the time being, but he is still Ye Wei's assistant, paid a salary, and does some errand work in Los Angeles.
Wexford Art School welcomes Ye Wei's admission very much, and even the entrance examination for professional art is almost exempted, and the examination is just a procedure. The school is also going to arrange an opening speech for him to share his success and encourage his classmates.
Ye Wei refused, he didn't want to do that, he just wanted to keep a low profile now, he proposed to use a pseudonym to enroll and live, hoping that the school would keep his identity as secret as possible. Even though he's not as well-known as those guys, others don't necessarily know him, and "Here Comes Viy" doesn't necessarily make a splash.
He just doesn't want to be a "big student", he just wants to learn acting calmly, meet a few new friends, and do a few ordinary things.
Wexford felt that it was a pity, but he also understood and agreed, Ye Wei's identity would be Gu You (unique-ku, Yunik-Gu), a student from China, as for whether others would recognize him and spread it again, it was up to him to deal with it.
Pseudonyms are a staple of Hollywood stars and are used a lot of the time, just like sunglasses, Oprah Winfrey often goes by the pseudonym "Soph-Lee", Sophie is her puppy name, and Lee is her maiden name.
And unique is the only and unique meaning, corresponding to the Chinese only character, ku is his mother's surname.
Gu You, a wanderer who takes care of his family.
A wanderer who exiles himself, a backpacker who starts anew.
......
August 17th, the day Ye Wei set off.
The letter of intent has been signed, and he will go to Toronto with Mr. Flender from the high school to handle the rest of the procedures, his parents will not follow, nor will he go to the airport to see him off, and the paparazzi who are stationed at the airport now also regard Ye Wei as a prey, so say goodbye at home.
Flight at 11:45 a.m., 9 a.m., it's time to go.
"Call back when you arrive, call us if you have anything, don't hold on to yourself, your parents are adults, no matter how talented you are, you know how to deal with many things better than you, you know?"
On the front yard lawn on the side of the street, Gu Qiao was repeatedly telling his son, Ye Haogen nodded and responded, "That's right", Duoduo stood next to him sullenly, and Toto who was squatting.
Not far away, old George was putting a few suitcases into the Volkswagen, Ye Wei smiled and said: "I know, I will, you don't have to worry, I know how to take care of myself." ”
Ye Haogen wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed and patted his son on the shoulder, "Dad believes in you." Gu Qiao couldn't go on, thinking that he wouldn't have this day until he went to college, but suddenly ...... Her eyes were a little red, and she couldn't help but hold the flowers in front of her.
This parting may be until Duoduo's birthday in October, only to come back, and then Thanksgiving, winter vacation, how can they be reluctant.
"Hey!" Ye Wei looked at Duoduo, who hadn't spoken since he heard in the morning that he was going to go to school in other places and would not come back for a long time, and laughed: "Sweet Bean, don't you say goodbye to your brother?"
"Woo, woo......" Duoduo suddenly flattened her mouth, her big eyes were red and tearful, she cried, broke away from her mother's hand and pounced on him, holding her brother's legs, "I won't let you go, woo woo, I won't let you go......"
Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao both smiled wryly, Toto was anxiously circling around, Ye Wei squatted down, pinched her tear-stained face, and coaxed: "It's okay, don't cry, it's okay, my brother will come back, come back with a very good movie!"
"Woo, I don't want it, I want my brother to ......" Duoduo continued to cry sadly, pulling his hand.
"Your birthday, I'll definitely be back!October 21st, right?" Ye Wei raised his hand and rubbed her head, "Count down from today, there are still 65 days! ”
"No, no. Duoduo sobbed, tears falling continuously, "Did Lily take you......?
"Haha it's none of her business, no, little sweet bean, my brother will buy you a lot of gifts, many, many. Ye Wei still has to count what gifts there are.
Gu Qiao said, "However, you should go to the airport, Duoduo, don't delay your brother's flight." She dragged her crying daughter away, Ye Haogen hurriedly comforted her, but Duoduo didn't listen to anything, just cried: "I want my brother, I want my brother ......"
"Remember, 65 days!" Ye Wei smiled, after a few 65 days, I will return home with a good movie, and the world will know what a full-fire viy is!
Guys, my film career has just begun!
"You also take care of yourselves, Duoduo, remember not to feed Toto, goodbye!"
While saying goodbye, he sat in the passenger seat of the car, fastened his seat belt, and continued to wave goodbye to his family through the open window. ”
George Sr. started his car and drove slowly towards Boulevard San Vicente.
Ye Wei watched, the place called home was slowly retreating behind, her mother said a few words to Duo Duo, Duo Duo suddenly waved her little hand to catch up, and shouted with a cry: "Brother, goodbye! Come back quickly, goodbye!"
"Bye-bye!" Ye Wei turned his head against the car window, smiled and waved his hand at her, and saw Toto rushing to catch up, he couldn't help shouting: "Toto, go back, guard our house!"
Toto kept chasing behind, the car drove far away, and its figure was still in the rearview mirror, until Ye Wei said to Old George in a deep voice: "Don't stop, drive faster......" The speed of the car accelerated, and then it couldn't keep up, and the figure withdrew from the rearview mirror little by little, and it couldn't see it......
Retracting his gaze, Ye Wei leaned back on the chair and exhaled, and the fist that had already clenched his nails into his palm gradually loosened.
There was silence in the car, old George didn't say anything, and he didn't say anything.
Soon, the car got on San Vicente Avenue and went to Wilcher Avenue, on both sides of the avenue is the commercial area, with shops, restaurants, cafes, etc., when driving outside the hair salon RW salon, Ye Wei, who looked at the scenery outside the car, suddenly stared slightly, only to cross the sidewalk parking lot, ten steps away, three girls laughed and talked and walked out.
One of the blue-clad figures was Lily, her hair was dyed a new color, her long hair, her thick eyebrows, all brown and golden.
At this time, Lily stopped, as if looking in, as if she saw him......
The car continued to move forward quickly, and in just a few seconds, the girls were far behind, Ye Wei unconsciously grabbed his hair, wiped his nose, and his face was expressionless.
Soon, onto Wilcher Avenue and then on the San Diego Expressway, I left Brentwood and headed straight for the airport.
"However, I want to change my hair color, what color do you think looks good?"
"I don't care if you want to dye it blonde or red, your eyebrows must be black! ”
Ye Wei closed his eyes slightly, took out the earbuds of his iPod in his pocket and stuffed them into his ears, and listened to music. The car was moving forward, song after song, and then he heard Bob Dylan's "i-was-young-when-i-left-home" and listened, his eyes were a little moist.
"I was young when I left my hometown
I went out and ran around
And I never wrote a letter home
Give me my home, God, God, give me my home
Just a few days ago
I sent my salary home
I met an old friend I knew
He said your mom died
Something went wrong with your precious sister
Your dad needs you to go home immediately
I didn't have a shirt on my back
My name isn't worth a penny
I can't go back this way
Such a way, God, God
I can't go back this way
If you missed the train I was on
Count the days I set out to go back
You'll hear a whistle coming from a hundred miles away
One hundred miles, dear, baby, God, God"
