Chapter 2: The Body of Lies

The so-called butterfly effect is like this, Ye Wei made the old principal ugly, and the old principal also made him unable to eat and walk around.

After the assembly, he was reprimanded by the headmaster and received his "small punishment" - his "cuttlefish" work hours were increased by five hours!

Harvard-Westlake has a lot of community services, one of which is called "cuttlefish": 7th and 8th graders clean up the school after school and each must do enough for an hour a year, while 9th graders spend three hours a year mopping the floor and cleaning the cafeteria at lunchtime.

Now he's got five more hours to hang out with the juniors!

So...... What's the big deal?

That's why Ye Wei feels weird, he should be a genius who is even a genius, but no, he has "experienced" too much suffering, and this kind of "punishment" is simply child's play.

It's all caused by that dream, he feels that he has grown up a lot, this is a good thing, right? No matter, just do what you want, this is me!

Thinking about it this way, Ye Wei couldn't sit still in the classroom, and the math teacher thought that he was still the bad student who didn't pay attention in class, and it was really difficult to find an Asian who was so bad at math! In fact, Ye Wei had been thinking about the affairs of his family, and every time he thought that his father would die of anger, he broke out in a cold sweat.

After a lesson, he couldn't stay any longer, so he went to Grace Essie, and wanted to go home and rest, citing that he was not feeling well.

Probably his face is really ugly, Teacher Elsie is right, but don't think that this can reduce the punishment, no way, five hours and a minute can't be reduced.

As a result, VIy, who was in the limelight, left the campus in a hurry, which made many people scratch their heads in a hurry, looking for him to play, find someone he knew, and find someone who was unlucky about him...... Why can't you find him?

After leaving Harvard-Westlake, Ye Wei got into a taxi and did not go home, but went straight to his father's dentist office.

Hogan-yeah's private dentist office in Santa Monica was already noon when Ye Wei arrived in the coastal city.

The clinic is not large, the size of one living room, one room and one bathroom, only Ye Haogen is a dentist, and a black old nurse who has been working for many years, and in the bright hall, there is a Frankenstein's facility-like dental chair, surrounded by desks, sand, medicine cabinets, and some elegant plants.

"Dad!" Ye Wei rushed into the clinic hall, only to see his father in a white coat sorting out some dentist tools by the dental chair.

When Ye Haogen heard the prestige, his middle-aged face was full of surprise, "But, why are you here?"

"Oh, you old fellow!" Walking up, Ye Wei hugged his father excitedly, feeling like a world away, as if the last time he hugged was eight years ago, which made his eyes hot and choked up.

But what was in front of me was real, Dad was fine, it was just a long, smelly dream. Anyway, whether it's true or not, I must protect my father and protect my family!

He put away his mood and smiled, "I skipped school." ”

"What!?" Ye Haogen frowned in surprise.

"Haha deceived you, I got the teacher's permission to leave. I always feel like there's something wrong with you today, so come and see how reassuring you are. Ye Wei pressed his hands on his father's shoulders and kept looking at him, his father was still the high-spirited elite dentist, and because he was chasing his movie dream, he had a youthful look.

Ye Haogen looked at himself and smiled helplessly: "I'm fine, you also saw it, shouldn't you go back to school?"

"Please, Dad, don't be so rigid. Ye Wei didn't look angry, "I finally came out, so I should take a day off." ”

"Okay, okay, who hasn't been young?" Ye Haogen has never been a strict father, and this time he laughed again, "But don't blame my father for not reminding you, the results of the C in each subject will not bring you a 16-year-old new car key, your mother has already warned me." ”

As he continued to pack his tools, he said with a smile: "You want a new Land Rover, right? ”

Hearing "The Wedding Date is Coming", Ye Wei's expression sank, he was thinking about what to do next all the way, thinking about it, the most important thing now is to figure out one thing.

Is it the bitter result of the producers' best efforts but unsatisfactory results, or is Kevin Thomas and his crew just a bunch of garbage liars who are messed up because of their messing around?

There is a 99% chance of the latter, anyway, in the dream when he grew up, after going to the University of Southern California for film, he called Kevin Thomas and asked to see the original production materials of "The Wedding is Coming", such as the production budget, production schedule, director's diary, etc., but the guy could not provide it to him on the grounds that the company had been bankrupt for many years and the materials were lost.

What a ridiculous reason for him to believe that no professional filmmaker would lose such important source material!

Kevin Thomas doesn't let him look at it, but only says one thing: there are a lot of problems with those things. The layman can't see it, but the insider can.

To take the simplest example, there are a few last location scenes in "The Wedding is Coming", which were filmed in Florida, and originally made an independent film with a budget of 2oo yuan, whether to make this location has to be a question mark, the key is, is that a large amount of location money really used for filming?

Or are those people traveling by making films, and filming has become secondary, and tourism is first?

The "scenery survey fee" alone can have a lot of tricks in it.

This is at least a way to hide people's eyes, some of which are more direct and rampant, and clues can be found in those production documents.

If Kevin Thomas really messed around with a total of $180,000 in additional investments from their family, he wouldn't let that go!

Thinking of this, Ye Wei looked serious and said: "Dad, I have another thing to do, you know that I am making a short film and preparing to participate in next year's school film festival, so I am very interested in the production schedule of "The Wedding is Coming", the director's diary and other documents, I want to see it." ”

The first Harvard Westlake Film Festival, shortly after the start of this academic year, the school announced this event.

With such an opportunity to be in the limelight, of course he was excited to participate, so he wrote a three-minute public service announcement script, recruited friends to form a production team, and completed the shooting together, which is still in post-editing.

Ye Haogen naturally knew that he was still looking forward to his son's appearance, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll have time to ask Kevin." ”

"No, ask him now, Daddy, I'm really in a hurry! ”

Ye Wei was very persistent, and Ye Haogen didn't feel strange, his son has always had a brutal and willful side, which makes people have a headache, "Okay, wait for us to have lunch first?"

"Now!" Ye Wei was really in no mood for this, snatched his father's mobile phone like a robbery, and clicked on the address book to call a contact......

"Hey, hey, Kevin? yes, it's me, only. As soon as he got on, he pretended to greet him warmly and walked to the clinic's bathroom.

Seeing that his son was mysterious, Ye Haogen shrugged helplessly, it is estimated that making a short film is not the real purpose, right?

Kevin Thomas's equally enthusiastic voice came out of the phone: "But, what's the matter, isn't this your dad's phone, it looks like someone is skipping school?"

"Yes, haha, here's the thing......" Ye Wei smiled and said his intention, Kevin Thomas was surprised to hear it: "Wow, so hard!"

Closing the door of the bathroom, Ye Wei pretended to whisper: "Kevin, let me be honest with you, it's actually a girl, I told her that I made a movie at home, she didn't believe it, and I couldn't show her the final cut dVd, so I need these, these things that seem to be very professional." ”

At this moment, Kevin Thomas felt that he understood everything, and suddenly laughed with understanding: "Oh, I see, haha, no problem, I'll give you some storyboards." ”

"No, Kevin, all, I need them all!" Ye Wei's tone was anxious, as if he had leaked his mouth: "The storyboard can only take off her top, one kind of information and one piece of clothing! Oh no...... Forget it, Kevin, now that you know it all, you're not going to sue me, are you?"

"Haha, no, I understand. I'll bring it to your dad tomorrow and I'll give it to you again. ”

"Now, I'm in a hurry, now!"

"It seems that that girl is really spicy? Hehe, those materials are in the company's office, and I am also in the company, but I can't leave now......"

"I'll take it, you're waiting for me at the company. ”

Ye Wei couldn't help but end the call, looked at himself in the mirror on the wall, slowly changed the angle of his face a few times, and muttered, "Honey, you really have some talent for acting." ”

On that childish and handsome face, a grim smile arose.

didn't go to lunch with his father, Ye Wei came and went in a hurry, which made Ye Haogen feel a big headache.

The production partnership between Mr. Ye and Kevin Thomas, called Vido-pictures, is named after the first two letters of the names of Mr. Ye and his sister Dorothy, and it is located in an office in a small office building in Santa Monica, with few employees, and Kevin Thomas is all in charge of "The Wedding Is Coming."

In less than half an hour, Ye Wei rushed to the company's office, and Kevin Thomas had been waiting for a long time.

"Hey, only!"

Kevin Thomas is a white man in his forties, dressed in a blue casual suit, with an even-toned, smiling face, and a kind look that makes it easy to classify him as cultured Sven. He did go to college, and he was a film graduate from the prestigious University of North Carolina School of the Arts.

This identity image, coupled with his ability to speak well, is enough to fascinate some people with movie dreams.

"Kevin. Ye Wei also seemed very enthusiastic, looking around with not much office equipment, "Where are those materials?"

"You'll get it, this way. Kevin walked to the computer desk next to him, where there were several large stacks of thick documents, "It's all here." ”

Ye Wei's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly pounced on it and looked at it, the production schedule, budget expenditure, storyboard, ...... It's all there!

"Anything else, anything else?" he asked, rummaging through the drawers of his computer desk, taking whatever he saw useful, like a thief looting.

Looking at him from the side, Kevin Thomas smiled playfully, and that contemptuous look at him like a silly boy, to be precise, a loser and brainless playboy.

When Ye Wei put the stacks of documents into the bag, Kevin said: "However, return these materials to me when they are used up, I still have a use here." ”

"No problem, I'll pay you back in two days. Ye Wei pretended to agree.

At this time, Kevin Thomas didn't know what to think again, and hesitated a little mysteriously: "There is something, I don't know if I should tell you......"

"What, say, say, I won't sue anyone. Ye Wei was curious and anxious, and wanted to be a fool of him.

"There's a yacht pie on the beach side of Santa Monica tomorrow night, and there will be a lot of models in attendance......"

Ye Wei suddenly shouted excitedly, "Wow, is it Victoria's Secret Angel? or Playboy Girl? Can I go!?"

Seemingly pleased with his reaction, Kevin Thomas smiled happily and said with a smile: "It's not that top-notch, but it's also very hot, and I like to make friends." I don't know, but I don't want to go if it weren't for the fact that I want to socialize. But I think you'll be interested, go and have fun. ”

"Of course I'm interested, they'll like me. Ye Wei wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, this time the acting was a little exaggerated, but the other party couldn't see it.

He knew what this guy had in mind, and the temptation to go was to take a fancy to his money, as long as he threw money on that bullshit duì, it would also look like this slut was arrogant, and those third-rate models who saw the money would post it. He's an underage kid after all, and he'll only end up cheapening Kevin Thomas.

Sure enough, Kevin Thomas was also a little excited: "If you really want to go, you have to be ready today, those models are not little girls, it's useless to be cool, they only like rich people." Ye Wei smiled ambiguously: "I know, I know." ”

"You must not sue your father for this, and you must not sue sΓΉ anyone! Otherwise, I will be in trouble, and I will pick you up tomorrow night, and I will say that I will go to the movies." ”

"Haha, totally understood. Ye Wei laughed, looked at Kevin Thomas's disgusting smiling face, probed the mobile phone in his pocket, and sneered in his heart: However, you are really in trouble.
