Chapter 65: The Stars on Earth
Caesars Palace Hotel, golden lights from top to bottom shroud this vast grassland-like circular lobby, in the center is a giant stone statue of Julius Caesar, and some shiny Christmas trees are placed around, provoking tourists to take pictures.
Everyone looked so happy, and the staff were all smiling, as if this was the happiest place on earth.
After Ye Wei came in, because he didn't plan to live here, he didn't go to the front desk, he just walked around and prepared to stay until the time was up.
However, after a while, a lobby security guard noticed him and came up and asked, "Sir, is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Oh thanks, I don't need to. Ye Wei smiled at him, "I'm waiting for someone, brother, let me be alone." β
"Okay. Although the security guard stepped back, he was wary of the suspicious teenager, especially the two suitcases, after 911, anyone could be a terrorist.
......
Denver, Anna's house is very lively, because they are a Christian family, so this festival is both festive and sacred for them, and it is the most important holiday of the year.
The family sits on the sand and watches "How Beautiful Life is" is a must-have every year, and their family just can't get tired of watching it. But this year, Anna was a little absent-minded, and muttered again and again: "Have you seen the short film from the crew of "It's All Daisy's Fault", do you want to call Ms. June to ask for the news?"
"Anna, don't be in a hurry, when there is news, Lady June will tell us. Janet reached out and stroked her daughter's head.
"Let's watch the movie in peace first. David also smiled and looked at the TV screen, "George and Mary are about to meet." β
Anna looked at the clock, "I don't know if it's okay in Vegas...... We'll have to watch "Dance of Angels" at the same time!"
"Of course, sweetheart. "yes. β
......
Waldorf Astoria Hotel, New York.
In the spacious bathroom, the sound of running water from the faucet rattled and Lily bent over and dipped her face into the basin, letting the useless tears run away with the water......
She just wants everyone to get together more, to sit together like a normal family, to chat, watch TV, and watch "How Beautiful Life is", isn't it good......? A small wish......
Haha, what are you delusional! Normal family? Normal family with three marriages!?
They are not family, not one, only mom is, why did they come here, they should have left a long time ago!
Phil Collins is a jerk, they're all jerks!
What's the use of crying? Will they listen? Will their thoughts change? No, no, no......
Tears welled up even more, Lily's heart twitched a little, trembling all over, there was a feeling of suffocation, those memories suddenly surged from the bottom of her heart, those nightmares, suddenly appeared so clearly in front of her eyes.
Daily Mail, The Sun, The Daily Star, The Times......
Surrounded by newspapers and magazines, a little girl under the age of 5 was full of confusion, fear, and sadness, she looked at the media pages, which were posted with every detail of her parents' divorce, and she watched how they fell out, how they separated, how they went to court, how they ended, how she followed her mother to the United States......
Every detail, she will see it if she doesn't want to see it, and she will know it if she doesn't want to know, so ugly, so she wonders, why, why?
Why didn't I live with my father in the future, why did I go to the United States, why did my mother cry, why was it all different!
Was there anything she could do to change their decision? crying, begging, locking herself in her room, refusing to get on the plane, useless, all useless......
Hahaha, that's ridiculous!Lily looked up, looked at her wet face in the mirror, and choked up and laughed, you're ridiculous!!
Her whole soul trembled, and she hurriedly fumbled in her trouser pockets, trying to find someone to talk to, but ...... Only!
However, the trouser pocket was empty, and the phone was left in the outside pocket. She let out a long sigh and scratched her head, what could she say even if she did? He wasn't her mother, he didn't like to hear her annoying words, her family, hell things!
"What can I do? How can I get rid of these ......" Lily muttered, drinking, smoking, marijuana, she shook her head, she didn't want to be like that, she didn't want to be the kind of star kid who fell into the abyss......
Suddenly, Lily felt at a loss like never before, the world was so big, but there seemed to be no place for her.
She hated herself, she hated this qiΔ......
"Stupid eyebrows, stupid ......" The more she looked, the more she felt that she looked hateful in the mirror, she suddenly grabbed her right eyebrow and pulled it off violently, "Stupid eyebrows! You idiot!!You idiot, you stupid donkey, you long-haired monster......"
After a series of scolding, her voice gradually became softer from high, she covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying, raised her head and took a deep breath, trying to suppress those feelings back to the bottom of her heart.
Quick, use what the psychiatrist said, happy therapy, think about happy things, happy things......
A lot of scattered images flashed before her eyes, and soon they were almost all the last two months, his smiling face, his voice, Lily, Jane, little Jane......
It didn't take long for her mood to calm down, and those nightmares were locked in the cage in her heart again.
"Phew, you're really naΓ―ve. Lily sighed and shook her head, he was fighting for his dream in Vegas, and it was naΓ―ve for you to hide in the bathroom and get angry with your family.
And they don't know the beginning and end of the matter, and they don't have the emotion of watching it simultaneously, it's normal to be not interested, and "How Beautiful Life is" is not suitable for this "family...... Let's go, go out and apologize to everyone, and then go back to Mom, where they like to go.
Lily washed her face and smoothed out the small piece that had been plucked out in the middle of her right eyebrow, which didn't look obvious, and a little self-deprecating, it was really a bush.
At that moment, Lily walked out of the bathroom, and from the corridor she saw laughter in the hall, everyone sitting on the sand watching TV, happy look, she couldn't help but be stunned.
"Hey, Lily, come here, you're missing the beginning!" Jory laughed and patted the spot next to her.
"I haven't seen this movie in years. Simon on the other end was also laughing, "James Stewart is still so young, ahaha!" he clapped his palms and laughed, proud of his joke. Everyone also burst into laughter, and her bastard father exclaimed, "Stewart is really a good man, I've seen him a few times before, what a good guy." β
Nicholas was also well-behaved and watched with interest, and Orion was smiling.
"Guys......" Lily didn't know what to say, "I ......"
"Come here!" Jory shouted with a laugh again. Becoming a Collins at the age of 3 and her parents divorced at the age of 8, she is the person here who understands the mind of 14-year-old Lily best, even more than Lily herself.
This girl wants everyone to stay for two more hours, and "watching the short film at the same time" is just a reason for herself, the real reason is that she wants to have a normal home...... will watch "How Beautiful Life is", will gather together for the holidays, and is reluctant to separate. If not, at least a little bit. She is angry because there is no hope.
Didn't get caught up in any bad habits, didn't make bad friends, didn't indulge yourself, didn't have arrogance, didn't extravagant...... Lily is already very strong.
"Isn't it that you want to watch it, it's on the air now and it's stupid, come on!" Simon also shouted, how could he, whose parents divorced at the age of 4, not understand his sister's pain, he suddenly laughed again: "Stewart is ready to leave the town, but he just can't leave, poor guy." β
Lily suddenly laughed, didn't say anything, walked to Qiao Li and sat down, looked at the TV screen, and said with a smile: "First declare, the short film will be broadcast on time at 11 o'clock!"
"Okay, okay!"
"11 o'clock is your friend's short film time, and "How Beautiful Life is" should also get out of the way!"
......
In Las Vegas, night has fallen, lights are everywhere, and the excitement of Sin City has just begun.
Ye Wei looked at his phone, there were less than ten minutes to go, 2o:oo, he was both excited and a little nervous, and checked the text message box and call records from time to time, for fear of missing Lamo's text messages or calls, Lamo, Lamo, hurry up!
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he saw an elevator opening in the distance, and Ramo walked out, and he hurriedly walked up, "Hey, Ramo!"
The security guard, who had been keeping an eye on her, also followed, but recognized who the girl was, and couldn't help but be surprised to see the boy follow her into the elevator.
There were only two people in the elevator at this time, and they were ascending to the top floor of the presidential suite.
"How is Mr. Willis in the mood?" Ye Wei asked. Ramo shrugged: "Of course he is in a good mood with us, but he doesn't know about you." Ye Wei felt a little wrong, and asked again: "Then does he know that I am going up now?" Ramo shook his head: "I don't know." β
"What......" he frowned, "what's going on, if he doesn't want to see me, he's going to mess up." β
Ramo looked at him and said funny: "You really don't know the situation, Lalu and Belle are here, my mother is also there, any of them can say a word, don't say whether you can go up or not, you can't even broadcast your short film, the old man dotes on his little daughter! I can't handle it, it's up to you." β
"Hmm. Ye Wei nodded, and continued to think about the possible situation and how to deal with it.
Soon, the two of them got out of the elevator, and the top aisle was still full of gold, and the staff who came and went were very light and did not squint.
After walking a short distance, the two arrived in front of the presidential suite where the Willis family lived, Ye Wei took a few deep breaths, he was ready, and Ramo rang the doorbell, "It's me, open the door." β
After a while, the door opened, and the person who opened the door was Willis, the old face with wrinkled nasolabial folds was smiling, but when he saw the young man next to his daughter, his face immediately changed!
Before Ye Wei could say hello, the iron man on the screen was furious and shouted: "Boy, I gave you a chance, but you rejected it, don't use my daughter anymore......! Damn boy!"
"Mr. Willis......" Ye Wei was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect Willis's reaction to be like this, "I don't have malicious ......"
"Dad, no one is taking advantage of your daughter. Rameau spread his hands angrily, "He's going to take advantage of Lily, Phil Collins' daughter, she's dating him, it's not me, ok? β
Willis was so angry that he didn't listen, and almost snatched Ye Wei's suitcase and smashed it to pieces.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Larue and Bailey in the room rushed in surprise, as did Demi Moore, who had come to the party for the sake of the child.
When the two little girls saw clearly that it was the handsome Asian teenager, they immediately laughed and said, "It's you again!", "That funny guy! Dad, why are you yelling at him?"
"He annoyed me a little. Willis said to his daughters, and said to Ye Wei angrily: "I'll just watch your short film, and after watching it, you will get out of me immediately." β
"Relax, old man!" was all Ramo could do to help.
A qiΔ seems to be stagnant, only Ye Wei's heart is still beating violently one by one, with Willis's violent feelings, watching the short film is just a passing scene, it is impossible to see it, if the touching degree was originally 1o, then now there is only 1 left.
If you can't immediately use a few words to dissipate the anger of the big guys, it is impossible to succeed today......
What should I say!? Just like a guillotine knife was about to fall to his neck, Ye Wei was sweating all over his body, and in a flash, a lot of true feelings came up, so he said seriously:
"Sir, tonight is Christmas Eve, and I should be sitting at home and watching TV with my family, but here I am. I have a three-year-old sister who asked me what I was going to do in Vegas, and I said I was going to work, and she said, 'Isn't Christmas not working?' and I didn't know what to do with her, so I lied to her and said I was here to play.
But I'm not here to play! I'm here to take a chance, yes, another chance! I know, you think I'm reckless and stupid, it's normal to think so, but ......"
The anger in Willis's eyes receded slightly......
"I, I, I'm ......" Ye Wei didn't know what to say, but he also had a flash of inspiration, and he stammered nervously: "I really ...... Mr. Willis, a man who left his family on Christmas Eve, who left his hometown, came to work in a strange place, believes, believes me...... The man must have been serious. β
"Needless to say, boy, come in. Willis turned and walked away, his tone much calmer, "Your short film had better be really professional, don't waste us 1o minutes." β
Ramo suddenly glanced at Ye Wei, the old man was deflated, your mouth is indeed powerful!
Fortunately, Ye Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although there was only one life left, but he finally passed the test in a thrilling way, I really don't know if it was the credit of Duoduo or the stammer.
......
At the same time, some of the apartment buildings north of the USC Park campus are brightly lit and the sound of students laughing.
In one of the four-person apartments, it was also bright, crowded with more than a dozen men and women, and a small party was being held, some of them were international students, and some were ready to take pictures during the holidays, so they didn't go home for the holidays.
It was almost 8 o'clock, and Darlum, one of the hosts, shouted to show everyone a short film, an A+ short film, a 15-year-old ninth-grader and their work!
"Hahahaha! Darum, so that's what you guys were busy with some time ago? Filming a middle school student? Hahaha!"
"Good shot, huh? haha, the best joke of the year!", "Best Christmas present, I mean jokes, haha!......
Except for a few members of the crew, Hurley King, Pete and Pareira, everyone else laughed almost to the ground and couldn't stop.
The four of them didn't say anything, and when they finally got tired of laughing, Darum said, "After you watch it, let's talk about whether you can shoot at this level." β
"That's definitely not going to work, I can't shoot the level of middle school students anymore, hahahaha!"
Everyone laughed wildly again, especially those who drank wine, and even impromptu danced wildly!
"I smell some marijuana, Darlum, are you high? haha!", "Get the marijuana out!
"Shut up, be quiet! β
......
New York, at 11 o'clock, "How Beautiful Life is" paused, Lily excitedly took the dVd CD, walked to the dVd player, and smiled at the family: "Guys, I thank you for being with me until now, I'm a little willful tonight, I'm sorry, make up for it with this short film! It's really great, but I haven't seen it yet." β
The Collins couldn't help but be stunned, how do you know it's great if you haven't seen it?
Los Angeles, 8 o'clock, after a sumptuous dinner, Wang Ying suddenly remembered something, "Dance of Angels"! He immediately went to find his office bag and said to his old wife Miao Qianren: "I have to watch a short film, which is said to be the work of a talented Chinese high school student, which may have a great impact on the casting of my new film......
Brentwood, Ye Haogen, Gu Qiao and Duoduo are all sitting on the sand, and Toto also seems to be watching TV.
Denver, at 9 o'clock, Anna's family had finished watching "How Beautiful Life is" and began to broadcast the short film, although it was another time to watch, but they were all in high spirits, as happy and looking forward to it as they were when they watched it for the first time.
"It's 8 o'clock in Las Vegas time!
All over the world, all over the United States, there were excited voices everywhere on the earth, Lev, Bard, Chen Nuo, Colwin...... All members of the Dream Chaser Alliance!
A shopping mall full of individuals and a lively shop suddenly broadcast that mysterious short film, and tourists and customers were surprised......
In Las Vegas, in the luxurious presidential suite, the Willis father and daughter sat on the main sand with Demi Moore, while Ye Wei sat on the sand chair next to him, looking at the large LCD TV in front of him.
The upbeat music is already playing......
