Chapter 69: A New Hope

In the lavish presidential suite, the hall was bustling, Miss Willis was arguing over where to go next this Christmas Eve, and Demi Moore said a few words from time to time, mostly to help her youngest daughter, Belle.

On the side of the wine station, a row of Roman-style wine cabinets is filled with a variety of fine wines, and the bottles appear to be glowing in the light.

Willis took a bottle of Jialu wine from it, and as he took the glass, he asked, "Boy, do you drink?"

Ye Wei followed behind, hearing the words, his mind was turning, yes or no does not depend on his situation, but on the preferences of the big man. Looking at those spoiled princesses, the answer is already obvious, besides, how can the descendants of veterans not drink, even if they are teenagers.

"Yes, there is no 21-year-old alcohol law in my family, and my grandfather even gave me liquor when I was three or four years old. ”

"Haha! My old man too. The answer was correct, Willis happily took two wine glasses and poured two full glasses, one for himself and one for Ye Wei.

The big man raised his glass and said with a smile: "To your short film!"

"Thank you!" Ye Wei also raised his wine glass with a smile and took a small sip, the sweet wine slid down his throat and fell into his stomach, a piece of warmth.

Although this is not the first time he has drunk, in fact, his grandfather is a strict person, for the sake of his body, he will not let him drink too early, and if his parents see this scene, they will probably shout that they are parents who have failed and neglected their duties.

But this glass of wine is what he deserves! It is a glass of wine, a chance, that he has only gotten after a lot of hard work, prudence, and hard work!

At that moment, he said seriously: "Sir, the last time we had a phone conversation was not very pleasant, I can completely understand your mood at that time, who am I? A boy under the age of 16 wants to make a feature film and invite you to star, it must be crazy." ”

Willis sat on a high stool by the table, smiling and listening as he drank leisurely.

"But I know who I am, I grew up studying film, and my family also invested in the production of a comedy, and I learned a lot during the whole process of preparation, filming and post-production......"

Ye Wei brought out the old rhetoric again, his voice was fast and clear, he didn't stutter at all, he said for about 3 minutes, and didn't say anything about how the two companies should distribute the equity and what special terms and conditions should be if they cooperated, only that he could be the producer and director of the feature film.

In the end, he opened a suitcase next to him and took out several stacks of documents inside, "Here are all the preparatory copywriting for "Dance of Angels", this is the script, the storyboard, the production table...... It's all made by me. ”

Willis glanced at it a few times, and suddenly couldn't take his eyes off it, very surprised!

Since opening the company, he has been in contact with some production affairs, and he has also hung a planning name in "Crocodile Hunter", he has also written scripts, and he has seen storyboards...... As soon as he saw it, he knew how professionally the copywriters were doing, just like that short film.

What surprised him the most was those storyboards, when Ye Wei flipped through the animation paper at will, he saw that each one was so fine, like a comic, and they had all been accurately shot in the short film, which undoubtedly said: The short film is not made by chance, but all the preparations have been made from the beginning.

"I drew it all by hand, and no one else added a single stroke. Ye Wei noticed the change in the expression of the big man, and immediately implemented a lobbying plan: paint!

He put Wen Jiàn on the wine table, took out a pencil and a blank piece of paper from his suitcase, and wrote it, drawing the image of Willis now sitting and drinking.

"Sir, leave my work alone and keep talking. ”

"Oh......" Willis became more and more surprised, and watched as the pencil flew and quickly sketched some lines on the white paper, and his outline came out......

"I've been learning to draw since I was a kid. Ye Wei said, there was no pause in his hand for a second, the clearer the drawing, the better!

He has thrown out such an image of himself, a "genius boy who understands movies", it depends on whether the big man buys it or not.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Willis took a sip of wine to suppress his shock, looking at the painting, and then at him, "At your age, going to school is the most important thing." ”

"I'm fine with my studies. Ye Wei was drawing, and at the same time explained how he could get an A, he could skip a grade, and he had already received the genius treatment given by the school.

"I took a lot of days off for the month of "Dance of Angels", but my studies were fine, sir, you can see how Harvard-Westlake supported me to make films, if I didn't pass my studies, they wouldn't let me shoot in the on-campus theater, and they also made cameos!

If we want to shoot a feature film, we can put the filming period into the summer, or I can take a leave of absence to match your schedule, and I can even finish the school year first! ”

Willis frowned slightly, not knowing what to think, and asked again, "What about the preparations?"

The most time-consuming thing about making a movie is not the on-set shooting, not the post-production, but the preliminary preparations, the more Hollywood, the more so, even if you save a lot of cumbersome meetings and go through the independent production process, a project like "Little Sunshine Beauty" is just a script, at least a year and a half of preparation will take you to prepare.

Ye Wei had already thought about this aspect, and replied fluently: "I will find one or two more executive producers, and they will do some specific things, and I will supervise and prepare while going to school." I don't think time is really an issue, it's all about trust, Mr. Willis, it takes a lot of courage and trust to choose me. ”

Willis turned his wine glass, as if thinking, as if he was sighing: "There are always young geniuses emerging in the film industry, one after another, and I have seen quite a few, like Shyamalan." But there has never been one, with you ...... so young."

Ye Wei could hear that the big man's words were not praise, but hesitation: Your age really makes me feel uneasy.

Yes, 16 is an awkward age, not big enough, not small enough, if it was 26 years old, or 6 years old, Willis might have slapped his thigh and said, "I'm joining!"

26 years old is a normal age for a young genius to make a film, and 6 years old is very abnormal. No matter how well or badly the two are filmed, they will not be the object of ridicule, 16 years old? embarrassing.

He thought for a moment and immediately said, "Sir, please think about it, if another 26-year-old young man came to you to talk about the "Little Sunshine Beauty" project and showed you "Dance of Angels", would you have the same sense of trust in him as you did in Shamalan?"

"Well......" Willis drank and said softly: "Maybe, but you're not 26 years old, and isn't the story of "Little Sunshine Beauty" too mature for you?"

"I don't think so, sir, you probably don't know, my family has encountered a lot of difficulties because of the failure to invest in films, and it is a story of "Little Sunshine Beauty"! This has changed me a lot and understood a lot, so I have enough understanding of the emotion and meaning of this story, and I can direct it well because of family, success and failure. ”

Ye Wei's tone was firm and his expression was confident, "And I love this story, and I'm passionate about it." ”

"What movie in your house failed?" asked Willis.

"A wedding comedy called "The Wedding is Coming". Ye Wei sounded the alarm in his heart, because if he could continue to negotiate, Willis would always know about the existence of "The Wedding Date is Coming", rather than knowing it in other ways, it would be better for him to sue him, so he only said it now, but this topic must be downplayed, and a genius boy should not let a garbage producer deceive his family.

"It didn't do well at the box office, we didn't catch up with the trend, the producers and directors were mediocre, and there were problems with the editing, so I was going to re-edit it. ”

Willis seemed to figure out something, "That's why you're in a hurry?"

Ye Wei nodded, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, "One of the reasons, the most important thing is that I can't live up to my youth, I have to do something worthy of my ability." ”

"Big deal...... Big ......" Willis took another sip of wine and seemed to nod: "Young people are just motivated." ”

At this time, the three girls over there had already finished arguing, and seeing that the time was about the same, Laru shouted: "Dad, okay, no, we're going out to play!" Belle is also shouting: "Dad!!"

7 minutes have arrived, and after Willis answered his daughters, he looked at Ye Wei, suddenly smiled, and asked, "Young man, why are you targeting me?" Not Stallone, not Schwarzenegger, but Willis?"

"Actually, sir, I already told the answer. Ye Wei smiled and said earnestly: "Because, you are willing to give young people a chance!"

With that, the pencil in his hand also stopped, and he unfolded the drawing paper, and wrote clearly: Willis sat on a high stool and drank leisurely.

"Haha......" Willis couldn't help but laugh when he saw it, nasolabial folds laughing deeply, "Boy, you're always so thoughtful." I don't know if you're capable of making a feature film, but you're a great lobbyist. ”

Ye Wei couldn't hear what the big man meant, so he just smiled and asked, "Can I leave these copywriting materials here?" Sir, you can take a look at them when you have time to be interested. ”

All the texts have been copied and backed, and this box is full of original manuscripts.

"Okay. Willis nodded, drank the remaining wine in the wine glass, and said quite seriously: "I still don't know the situation about this matter, I still have to think about it." But I have to say that your short film, your sincerity and hard work, are all good, at least I don't think your plan is completely ridiculous now, it is possible, it is possible. ”

This sentence was possible, and Ye Wei's eyes widened in surprise, and he almost shouted, and hurriedly picked up his wine glass to drink and suppress his pressure...... But I can't suppress it, it's possible!

Willis said that it is possible, from thunderstorming, to possibly! It is possible to cooperate, it is possible to star!

The light of success seemed to have shone on him, making him feel so happy and happy in every pore of his body!

"Sir, you're the incredible man, you're the one!"

"Haha, I'll think about it, but not on this Christmas holiday, you know, it's better not to work at Christmas. Willis laughed, putting down the empty wine glass, and going to the family.

"Yes, of course, of course!" Ye Wei nodded again and again, he thought that he should leave with interest, it is possible to get this sentence, and there is no need to entangle an elevator time and annoy the big guys, but he can't keep the fruits of victory.

At that moment, he smiled and said: "Sir, don't worry, you think about it slowly, if you have any questions or ideas, you can call me at any time, 7x24 hours, anytime! Now I won't bother you much, Merry Christmas!"

He quickly packed the copy into his suitcase, including the sketch, and when he was done, he nodded to Willis's daughters and ex-wife, said a few words of blessing, and dragged away with only a suitcase of clothes.

"Bye-bye, remember to help me ask Anna if she sells Bella!" Belle shouted from behind her.

"See you later. Ramo opened the door for him, but Laru, who was not far away, was angry and ignored him.

Walking out of the presidential suite, all the way into the elevator, and pressing the first floor, Ye Weicai breathed a long sigh of relief, less than half an hour before and after, but it was like experiencing a world war!

Victory! Bright has won again!!

His heart gradually sank into joy and excitement, and his whole body trembled, although he had not yet succeeded in the end, but this Christmas Eve, wasn't it perfect enough?

"Hahaha!" Regardless of the other people coming in the elevator, he suddenly burst out laughing and kept saying to others: "Merry Christmas, ladies and gentlemen, Merry Christmas!!"

"Merry Christmas. Everyone responded politely, although it was a smile, but they muttered in their hearts, this young man was red-faced, with the smell of wine, drunk?

"Come on, don't cry, it's going to be fine...... Ye Wei sang happily, took out his mobile phone like Taishan's mother holding Taishan, and sent a text message to his family, Lily and other friends:

"What's the name of Star Wars IV?
