Under the bright night, the bright street lamps reflected the light one by one, and the crowd surged in front of the Harvard-Westlake High School Football Theater, where students from the school and other schools, and some parents crowded at the door, while several staff members maintained order.

Lily knew that this formation was not good as soon as she saw it, her eyes widened, there were at least hundreds of people crowded here!

"Thank you for your enthusiasm, but unfortunately the theater is full and you won't be able to enter unless an audience member leaves early. You can register your name with me and line up one by one. ”

The middle-aged female teacher who served as the doorman spoke, and the crowd suddenly sounded helpless and dissatisfied, and then more than half of the people left, and the whole family basically left.

The hundreds of people inside came so early, obviously ready to watch the whole audience, probably only if there is a fire at home will leave the venue early, who knows when it will be waiting?

Many people left, but dozens remained, including Lily.

She stepped forward to register, looked at the female teacher, frowned and wanted to say something, what can she say? I am a student of Harvard-Westlake? There are a lot of friends here! I have a lot of friends in the theater, and I am Ye Wei's...... Pal!

I'm the daughter of a rock star, and my family has donated a lot of money to the school, so you should let me in!

But in the end she just said, "I'm going to register, Lily Collins." ”

"Okay, you're in forty-fifth. The female teacher wrote something on the form in her hand, "If it's your turn, we'll call you." ”

Forty-fifth! Lily almost fainted, couldn't she even go in tonight?Waited so long, to miss it like this?Crazy, crazy!

Her heart ached suddenly, she looked at the door of the theater with the lights through, grabbed the pink Chanel handbag hard, pouted and walked to the side, blaming herself for wearing makeup for too long, Madeleine is also a bastard, it would be different if she came 15 minutes earlier......

While thinking, she replied to Trist's text message: "I can't get in outside, I have to wait in line for a vacant seat...... Don't sue anyone, especially only!"

Trist's shocked text message soon arrived: "What !! do about this?"

"I don't know, wait, I hope there will be good luck, but do you think I will have it today?"

"Why don't I give you my seat? This festival has a special meaning for you, I'm just joining in the fun." ”

"Don't do stupid things, even if you quit, it's just cheaper to be the one in the first place, and I'm in the forty-fifth place......"

Suddenly, at this time, Lily received a text message from Ye Weilai, "Where are you sitting?" "The producers were sitting in the front, and he was in the first row, and he didn't know what was going on with her. She puffed out her cheeks, exhaled, and replied, "Very back, very back......"

There are also waiting students chatting in pairs and threes, both outside the school and in the school, which is a good opportunity to meet friends.

Lily walked by and heard a few girls next to her talking: "I'm from Acha Girls' School, and I just came here to see VIy." "Me too, I really envy the people in the theater. ”

There were a few boys over there, their eyes swept around, discussing which beautiful girl was spicy, and they naturally noticed the rich girl with thick eyebrows, wearing a white and blue knee-length dress, holding a handbag, all famous brands, typical Harvard-Westlake girls.

She wears light makeup and a pair of small earrings, which combines elegance, sweetness and heroism, and her somewhat depressed expression is even more moving, and it is a good time to pick up a conversation!

Before they could act, they saw a tall and handsome basketball captain-like golden boy walking up, damn it, he was the first to go!

"Hey, what are you? I'm thirty-seventh. The boy followed Lily's side, a charming smile on his face, his pale green eyes lit up, and his voice was magnetic: "My name is David Kurtz, an eleventh grader at Beverly High School, and it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Lily's eyes continued to look at the phone screen, text message, and replied casually: "Welcome to Harvard-Westlake, I'm in a bad mood, I want to be alone." ”

"Your name?" David Kurtz kept a charming smile, and the haughty girls were even more interesting.

"I don't want to sue you. ”

"You love movies too, don't you? I'm a movie fan. David Kurtz followed her and said in a familiar voice: "Which movie do you like? Which actor? What about Harry Potter? I think you're prettier than Emma Watson." ”

"Do you like movies?" Lily suddenly glanced at him, and Kurtz nodded vigorously: "Movie fans, I'm interested in movies." Lily chuckled, "Then why are you outside?"

Kurtz was stunned: "Because it's full of ......"

"I mean, why aren't you one of the filmmakers at the festival? They're all sitting in the front seats. It's mine...... Ye Wei, he even asked the film festival to set up a special award named after him, and one of his remade films just finished yesterday, that is a movie fan. ”

"Uh...... Are you, Ye Wei's girlfriend?" Kurtz's face changed greatly, Rao is a veteran of picking up girls, and he is a little embarrassed at this time, it is really not a good idea to talk to her with a movie.

Lily didn't answer, turned and walked away quickly, you can't just wait for luck to come, you have to think of a way......

......

In the rugby theater, there is a big screen and a small stage in front, and the 34O seats below are full, of course, H students account for the majority, and there are many students from other schools, and the front row is basically full of nearly 9O young producers.

Lev sat in the second row, while Ye Wei sat in the middle of the first row, not far from Ms. Yale, school leaders, advisors and judges, next to the guests Gyllenhaal siblings: 26-year-old Maggie and 23-year-old Jack.

In the evening, everyone already met and took a group photo. These two star alumni give him the impression that they are easy-going, and because everyone belongs to young people, they can talk. As he wished, he also asked Jack to get Ang Lee's private number, planning to take the liberty of calling again to meet the idol when he had time.

A few text messages with Lily, he looked back several times, and he really couldn't see where she was, the eldest lady didn't have a VIP seat, he did, hehe!

"Jack, sometimes movies can really bring you a lot, like a VIP seat. Ye Wei said with emotion, "A friend of mine can only sit on the top of the mountain, but she is the most H kind of student." ”

"Haha. Jake Gyllenhaal gave his trademark gentle smile.

"She?girlfriend?" Maggie, who was seated next seat, gossiped and quipped, "Weige, you lied in the media, I know the girls here, so they won't let you go." ”

"The climate has changed, and now the old headmaster is strict about love, and you know he's always everywhere. ”

Talking and laughing, it gradually reached 19:3o, and the time for the opening of the film festival arrived!

The sound effect of the prompt sounded, the audience was silent, and the promotional video of the H Film Festival was immediately shown on the big screen.

In the soft sound of watery music, there are photos of the seventh grade IDs of h students on the grid film, all of whom are later filmmakers, Jessica Capshaw, Aida Field, Jason Reitman, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jake Gyllenhaal......

Looking at this video, the producers couldn't help but be very excited, and felt that they were touching a bright future!

Especially our students, such as Chris Groban, Natalie Shapiro, Sam Bukitter, etc., whose work was shortlisted for the presentation of the evening, means that there is a good chance of winning a certain award. Everyone knows about the "Ye Wei Award", which gives them hope of winning the award again.

A minute later, Elizabeth Yale walked out of the left aisle of the small stage with a smile on her face, and the audience burst into a round of applause for the thirty-something founder of the festival!

Bard, Chen Nuo and Colwin sat in the row behind the producers, the best audience seats, they were applauding excitedly, Ji Ya laughed a few times, Ye Haogen, Gu Qiao and Duoduo, who came from afar to cheer for their families, were also applauding happily, and almost all the audience!

In a seat at the back of the middle, Connie clapped her hands excitedly, and Trist quietly gave Lily a "text live": "Ms. Yale is out, the opening is on." ”

"Harvard-Westlake, welcome to our inaugural film festival. ”

Yale stood in the middle of the stage, holding a wireless microphone and laughing at the opening remarks: "When I was a teenager, I had a great love for film, and I tried to make some 8-level short films, but they didn't get the opportunity to be shown.

Since then, I have always hoped that there will be a film festival that belongs to those of us high school students who have the dream and passion to make zuò films, so that our works can be showcased, evaluated by professionals, and our film dreams can be shared together, which is the driving force behind my founding of the Harvard-Westlake Film Festival.

When I pitched the idea to the university last year, they were very supportive of making my idea a reality, and then I got a lot of support from all sides, I had two excellent consultants, Shelly Gork and Ted Volcker, and I also invited a team of top professional judges, Jon Avinay, Kevin Costner...... Thank you!"

There was another round of applause in the theater, and today the four judges were present, making the small theater star-studded, and they were smiling happily.

"In the first edition, we received a lot of works, and tonight we will screen some of the great works, and all of them will be shown during the festival, and we will also give awards and guests will give speeches, so let's get started! ”

Amid warm applause, Yale walked off the stage, and the image of the big screen showing the logo of the film festival changed.

"Good People Have Good Rewards" was screened. Tracey texted.

Outside the theater, Lily knew it without her friends, because she heard the bursts of applause! This made her more anxious, no, she couldn't just miss it!

Perhaps out of a hurry, it suddenly occurred to her that the theater had a fire escape and a back door......

The theater is filled with the cheerful music of Haffner's Serenade in D major, and clear DV images are displayed on the big screen.

"Hahahaha!" When the first picture came out, the audience burst into laughter, and some viewers even laughed crookedly, the big-nosed heroine dressed as a woman was too funny!

At the dinner table, the male protagonist Ye Wei spread his hands helplessly and said something, the heroine Lev suddenly looked angry, put her hands around her chest, don't turn her head, and suddenly took off an appearance ring on her middle finger and smashed it at him-

Gia's eyes didn't blink, and she didn't want to miss that frame, maybe that frame was a flash of ** or sex-organ, like in "Scorpio Rising".

After watching it for half a minute, she hasn't shown it yet, but she has shown another thing, the hateful VIy has deceived her!

Just the opening scene, there is a close-up of the male protagonist stunned, and there is an insertion shot of the heroine taking off her ring, and the other side double shots, of course, are simple in front of the professional level, but in the works of high school students!

No wonder he would say "you don't need an axe to break an egg", because that's a sharp blade! enough to stab her to death! At the same time, the producers were all stunned, VIy is VIy......

This work is in the competition for awards!

Whether it's Chris Groban from our school or Floyd Ross from Culver City High School, they are suddenly a little frustrated, even if "Dance of Angels" doesn't participate, how can there be any chance of winning Best Picture and Best Director? Look at this smooth and natural shot, just the right soundtrack......

On the big screen, on the empty street, the other party refused to answer the call, Ye Wei angrily kicked a can on the ground, but he kicked it in the air and fell, and his posture was ugly.

"Hahaha!" The audience burst into laughter again, and the junior high school students were even more happy, and the football captain VIy, who had superb footwork, kicked a can and mIss!

Gia was about to laugh but choked, with a strange expression on her face, as if someone had choked her neck!

Damn genius, damn essence shot, this slut actually chose to shoot the can from a low angle up, the broken can in the foreground, and he was lying on the street with his blurred back, fuck!

In the front row, Kevin Costner looked at it and nodded approvingly, why this is an excellent work, here's why.

There are not many words that can be said in 3 minutes, but Ye Wei really said something, like this shot, the can almost occupies the entire frame, extremely clear, standing there like a mountain, and Ye Wei who fell is blurry and weak, this is a very interesting composition.

It is clear that a can seems to be the most humble, but in fact it can be as heavy as a mountain, and if human beings do not treat and pay attention to this mountain, they will inevitably pay the price.

The so-called director is to use the lens language to tell stories and say his own words, and this is the lens language, just this one shot, which makes "Good People Have Good Rewards" sublimated.

Tonight, except for "Dance of Angels", the camera level of other films cannot match it. Not to mention its simple yet clever structure, its short and complete story, its austere and precise performances, its steady and athletic cinematography, and its near-perfect editing and soundtrack.

Combined, these make it stand tall among the top high school students' works.

The Oscar for Best Director looks at it this way, and Jon Avinay also sees it this way, high school students' works will always have an innocent emotion, which is the charm of youth, so it often lacks deeper metaphors, and Ye Wei has done both.

If "Dance of Angels" is a rose that is professionally designed and realized, sincere and perfect, "Good People Have Good Rewards" is a simple but sparkling jasmine.

But there weren't many people in the audience who could notice and appreciate these flashes, they just had fun.

In fact, even when Ye Wei was filming by himself, he didn't think so deeply, he just felt that he should shoot like this, the cans became like Godzilla, and there was a feeling of a duel. This is called "subconscious creation", and the subconscious mind thinks a lot before it comes up with a conscious idea, and even I don't know it, thinking that it is just "inspiration."

The image on the big screen continued, Ye Wei got up and wanted to kick again, but his right foot stopped in the air, the music stopped, and after a few seconds, he changed his mind, stepped forward to pick up the can, and put it in the trash can not far in front.

Suddenly a large group of film crews rushed out of the street corner, and the theater once again burst into laughter, the fat host was wearing a suit and beach pants, and everyone else was wearing all kinds of costumes that seemed serious but were actually funny, like Halloween, a bunch of freaks!

"Haha, they're so funny!" Connie and Trist were also laughing, they weren't so funny when they watched it in the Dream Chaser League last year, it turned out that they lacked atmosphere.

Looking at the laughing people around her, Trist sent another text message to Lily: "But that's right, "Good People Have Good Rewards" has made everyone crazy, it's a pity that you can't see it." ”

......

Trist, do you know you're so mean with this text!

Lily quickened her pace in a huff and came to a side door of the theater, where a middle-aged male teacher was also guarding, and she pretended not to see and was about to walk in.

"Sorry, little lady, this is the staff passage, you can't go in. The instructor barricaded the door.

"I'm an 8th grader at Harvard-Westlake, and this is my Id!" Lily had to take out the Id card from her handbag and show it to the other party, and said sincerely: "I promise that I will keep quiet and not disturb anyone, I will just stand in the aisle and watch, let me in, right?"

The instructor looked at Id, but still shook his head: "Sorry for the safety reasons......"

"Oh. Lily put Id back in her handbag, suddenly raised her eyebrows, a thought soared, and rushed straight in, no matter what, I want to see, I want to see!

"Hey!!" exclaimed the middle-aged instructor, "You can't do this, hey!!"

......

On the big screen, Ye Wei and the women's clothing Lev hugged each other peacefully on the street, and then turned their backs and walked into the distance, and the camera gradually zoomed out.

This is followed by a rolling set of subtitles, director, screenwriter, producer, soundtrack, editor: Ye Wei, cinematographer: Corwin Reiter, actors: Ye Wei, Lev Bobile, Chen Nuo, Bard Mazur......

"Great!", "Whew!!" The theater burst into thunderous applause, and the students were cheering and even whistling, violating the school rules, but they were so enthusiastic!

Ji Ya couldn't help but raise her head and shouted: "Ye Wei, why are you so powerful!"

"VIy, VIy, VIy!" In different positions, Lev, Bard and all the boys of the Dream Chasing Alliance shouted in unison.

Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao were proud and relieved, and Duoduo laughed and shouted: "VIy is my brother!"

The young producers have to be convinced, "Good People Have Good News" is worthy of being the opening film!

Floyd Ross couldn't help but sigh, before tonight, he thought that his "That's It" had 19 minutes, if nothing compared to "Angel Dance", at least in terms of duration...... But it's really just self-comforting, and people tell a wonderful story in 3 minutes, hey!

There are also Hermann Black Mountain at Santa Monica High School and Dameris Orozco at Roosevelt High School...... They are both applauding and sighing, the gap between themselves and the VIy of "Dance of Angels" is like planets and stars, and the gap between them and VIy of "Good People Have Good Rewards" is like the moon and the earth.

"Weige, it was a great shot. Maggie and Jack are also praising repeatedly, "This work is great." "Amazing. ”

"Thank you, thank you. Looking at the warm atmosphere of the audience and listening to these applause, Ye Wei was naturally very happy and a little moved, my family and friends, thank you!

The thunderous applause continued until the end of the subtitle list, and the quiet sound effect sounded a few times before everyone gradually quieted down.

The big screen also went on to show the next film, with the caption "'Dream Weavers,' directed by Patrick Wall, Harvard-Westlake School." When the 1:16 short film was finished, the subtitles appeared: "The Last Prank", directed by Micah Levine, Cross School of Science and Art. ”

And after the 4:55 short film was broadcast, it won the best visual effects award at this year's festival under the auspices of Ms. Yale.

Amid loud applause and some very light boos, Micah Levin happily walked up to the stage, received a golden trophy, and gave a speech.

This also makes the hearts of young producers beat like they won awards, and under VIy's reign of terror, others can really win awards!

Next, Natalie Shapiro's "Birthday Balloon" by Harvard-Westlake was screened.

......

As soon as Lily rushed into the theater, she ran wildly, chasing one faculty member to several, who were screaming in a hurry to try to stop her.

Even though she's a student at our school, and she doesn't seem to be threatening, there are some things that are just in case, what if she has a pistol in her bag and is going to commit a school shooting?

And Lily didn't want to be thrown out, when she ran to an aisle out of nowhere, looked back and saw that there was no one, and was about to exhale, when suddenly the instructors chased her around the corner: "Girl, stop!", "You will be punished by the school!"

"I really don't have any malice!" she ran around in a panic, and the punishment was punished, I want to see the film festival!

"Wait, that's over there...... Stage!"

There was an exclamation from behind, and Lily couldn't stop anymore and rushed out of a hallway with a red curtain......

"Oh!", "Ahh

In the screening hall, the audience exclaimed, only to see a girl in white suddenly rush out on the right side of the stage, she rushed for a while before she reacted, and turned her head stiffly to look ahead, her face full of surprise!

Ye Wei's eyes widened, how could she, wasn't she sitting in the back...... What's wrong!?

The old principal, Ms. Yale, the judges, the Gyllenhaal siblings, the young producers...... Everyone froze for a moment, and the image on the big screen stopped at the right time.

What's going on?!

Hmmm! Trist covered her face and eyes, no matter how it happened, it was a disaster!

"Hi guys......" Lily was also dumbfounded, instinctively waving her hand in greeting everyone, "I'm ...... I'm Lily......"
