Chapter 183: Welcome Back, Bad Boy

In the reception room of Brian's studio, Ye Wei saw the eccentric black scavenger George, who was in his fifties, a little white-bearded, and even more swarthy from the vicissitudes of life.

"Hello, Mr. Ye. The old black man got up from the sand and went to greet him, dressed in his most appropriate dark blue casual suit today, old but clean, and when he saw the young man, he grinned, revealing a small piece of missing white front teeth.

"Hello. Ye Wei shook hands with him, smiled and asked, "What did you pick up from me?"

"There it is. The old black man pointed to a small box on the sand, and said in a rough voice: "Yesterday I was picking up garbage, I saw a very new cardboard box, I opened it to see what, I saw your photo I recognized you, I saw your news in the newspaper, these things should be worth some money, I wanted to sell to the media, but I don't know if it was a crime, I asked people how they could contact you, it is better to let you buy it back, someone told me to contact the brokerage company......"

Listening to this, Ye Wei walked over suspiciously, looked into the cardboard box, and saw a bedside photo frame, a group photo of the two, Waikiki Beach, Hawaii, he and Lily held hands and laughed......

He was stunned for a moment, his face was changing, and he couldn't hear the other party's words clearly for a long time before asking, "You mean, you picked up this picture frame in the garbage dump?"

"Scholler-Canning Junkland, a big box, full of things, I'll only bring a few, and if you're going to buy them back, I'll sell them all to you. The old black man said.

Ye Wei silently rummaged through the box, picked up a lily brooch and turned it a few times, and his breath gradually became messy and rough......

"Whew" he let out a long breath of staring, made a weird expression, threw the brooch back, and nodded: "I want to buy it, how much do you drive?"

"$66. The old black man offered a price, feeling that it was worth the money, but seeing that Ye Wei was a little stunned, he didn't know if he hesitated, so he quickly changed his words: "4o6 dollars?"

"No, man, $66, I bought it. Ye Wei said, "But nothing is missing, these things are ...... to me It has some meaning. ”

The old black man said happily, "Okay, I haven't touched the box, but I just showed you the top ones." ”

"That's good. Ye Wei sat down in the sand, didn't soak in that mood, looked at this scavenger, and felt that this person was not bad, he didn't sell it directly to the media, and the price was low; is not stupid, knows how to contact him; It's not lazy, too many lazy people live by receiving food stamps, and waste pickers are actually not lazy.

He asked, "George, can you tell me your story?"

"My story?" said the old black man for a moment, then excitedly, for no one had ever spoken to him like this.

George Morris is fifty-six, grew up in the slums of the city center, does not want to mix with gangs, and has no culture, and has worked in all low-level occupations for decades, waiting, car washing, car repair, scavenging...... After a failed marriage as a young man, no children, no family, and after losing his job from a laundromat a few years ago, he became a waste picker, and his home was his dilapidated pick-up truck.

After Ye Wei listened, he felt that this person was very sincere, there was no bragging, and he didn't seem to have any bad habits, and said, "I'm recruiting a driver and personal life assistant, are you interested?"

He's getting busier and busier now, and a lot of times he doesn't want to drive himself, so he can work in the car, and sometimes he really needs an assistant to be more efficient to do something, and it doesn't involve the work side, like buying a newspaper or a boxed lunch. He saw that George was good and wanted to give the other party a chance.

"Really?" the old black man was very surprised, "A job?" Ye Wei nodded and said, "Yes, how about a monthly salary of three thousand?" The old black man said excitedly, suddenly luckily, and said busily: "I don't need money for that box of things, I will return them all to you......"

"No, you deserve that money. Ye Wei interrupted him, "If you didn't pick it up, I would still be a fool." But now ......"

He looked at the group photo, "I'm resurrected." ”

The box was actually on the small truck parked outside, Ye Wei got it in its hands, as a piece of garbage, it was indeed quite new, and there was no trace of squeezing.

A piece of garbage

Brentwood Ye's house, in the boys' room on the second floor, Ye Wei was holding a large cardboard box, putting all the things about Lily in the room one by one, and the Cook lens and white jade she gave ...... Her photo, a large stack of greeting cards...... Finally, he took the photo frame on the bedside table, he took a look, it was a group photo at Starbucks after the film festival, sitting on the chair, he put his arm around her shoulder, she held the Ye Wei Award trophy, and they all smiled brightly......

With a soft bang, it was also put into the box, and the box was immediately closed, and everything was flooded with darkness.

Ye Wei carried the box of things to the attic that served as a utility room, put it next to the garbage dump carton in the corner, and sealed them all with yellow glue paper, as if something had been sealed in his heart; Using a black marker, write "Unthrowable Trash" on each of them, the date "November 264, July 264", two names "VIyLjc", and then the epitaph "Frankly, dear, I don't care at all", and ......

"What are you doing?" Ye Wei laughed at himself, threw away the marker, got up and took a few steps back, looked at the two tombstones, and after a long time, patted his left shoulder with his right hand, and said, "Welcome back, bad boy." ”

He turned to leave, walked a few steps, and suddenly kicked a few boxes of sundries next to him, and he raised his hands with a bang, shouting as he walked: "Oh ho is back single, I'm stronger too, I must celebrate, haha"

The night view of New York is bright, it is already more than 11 o'clock in the evening, and Lily came to the city a few days ago for a leisurely visit.

But I didn't know that because of the time difference, she would be three hours late when she received the text message now, but it had been more than ten minutes since she passed B:6nm in Los Angeles today, and she had not received the text message.

Lily stood on the balcony of the hotel suite, looking out at the colorful outside, but couldn't help but wonder why, why was he no longer there?...... Never mind?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but close her eyes, her heart was trembling dazedly, she opened her eyes, opened the text message box of her mobile phone, and looked at Ye Wei's noon text message: "Strange people, strange things, maybe I'm going to gain something." ”

What does this mean?

Lily couldn't figure it out.

That day, in the girl's room, the thick-eyed girl was holding a large cardboard box, scanning the surroundings, almost everything could ⊥ her think of him.

She needs to temporarily put herself in an environment without Ye Wei, so that she can calm down, organize her thoughts and think about problems, and work hard for her dreams.

I've been walking around the house and putting a small half box of things.

Suppressing the melancholy and heartache, the girl took down the No. 6 red and black jersey hanging on the wall and put it in the box, and then one after another, every gift and every greeting card he gave, and also put in the gifts that he had prepared in England that he had not had time to give him, and the vague confession paper......

I put in a stack of Los Angeles Times VIy columns, including the love poems. Souvenirs of Hawaii Tours...... Picture frame on the bedside table

Finally, the girl walked to her glass cabinet of antiques, stood for a moment in front of the Alexandria doll's cabinet, opened the cabinet, and took out the Jane Eyre doll inside, which had a broken multicolored bracelet tied to its left hand.

At this time, the box was full, and the girl sealed it with adhesive tape, and put the box in the corner of the room, but after a while she could not calm down, but kept looking at it.

The girl had to pick up the box with some difficulty, and went to the utility room on the first floor, and put it on the edge of a corner.

She exhaled, turned and walked a few steps, and looked back again, as if it was her heart hidden in it, a chaotic mind that looked forward to the day when it would be opened again.

When the time comes, you will have the answer

After wandering for a while, the girl finally left, so let's work hard

Doloris has been having a bad time lately, she is a home assistant in the Jill Taverman family, although she is second to Madeleine, and has also worked for the family for more than half a year. Because Tavorman and Lily's tempers are good, she doesn't get angry, and she doesn't do anything to secretly pee in the pool and other unethical revenge that celebrity assistants often have.

But since Lily's mood changed in the middle of the month, the atmosphere in the house has also changed, because of a small mistake, Tavoman, who had not been able to scold her before, scolded her, and even had the intention of firing her.

Doloris's heart suddenly turned cold, and she had long known that she and her celebrity employer were not friends

She is just a lowly assistant, she comes and goes as soon as she is called, and if she is lucky, she will be fired after a few more years, and then write a gossip book to expose some mixed truths and falsehoods, like Lily once fell in love with Ye Wei, which is true; You can make up how they fall in love and how they break up, and the more sensational they are, the easier they sell and the more they earn.

can also be an informant of the gossip media, as long as things are done beautifully, you can also make money by selling news.

This is the assistant industry, and many celebrity secrets and scandals, whether true or false, come from "former assistants".

Doloris hadn't thought of doing these things before, but when this thought came out like a poisonous snake, she couldn't suppress it anymore, and before she was fired, she would take advantage of it

An opportunity was immediately put in front of her, she saw that Lily was packing up all the things about Ye Wei in the house, a big box of things was worth a lot, and it could be sold at a good price now, if it was collected for a few years, when Lily became a big star in the future, then Ye Wei would be even more famous, and it would be possible to sell it for millions of dollars...... She'll get there

But to Dolores' disappointment, Lily didn't throw away the box, but put it in the utility room.

But she still has a chance, because she is responsible for cleaning the house, as long as the boxes are "cleared" as garbage, and she can get the boxes safely with a little more skill.

And who knows if Lily will touch that box again, most likely after a while to forget about it, but I don't know if she was still not the family's assistant at that time, she can't wait, she has to take it now. So a few days later, she created a false impression and stole the box and went home.

But Doloris was scared again, if it was discovered that she was actually deliberately stealing, she would be fired, she would never find her next assistant job, and she would be prosecuted and go to jail...... She knew that Tavorman was not to be messed with, and the more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and she wanted to put the box back again......

However, the day after she stole the box, and before she could return it, Tavorman immediately came to her to inquire about the box when it was missing.

Doloris naturally refused to admit it, she was very afraid, she felt that as soon as she confessed, Tavorman would call the police to arrest her, so she insisted that she didn't know what box might have been thrown away as garbage, maybe someone had stolen it, anyway, it was none of my business.

Tavorman was not so easy to deal with, and said very seriously: "If you really stole the box and you sold it, I will find out the way, and you will be punished as you deserve." You don't doubt that. Dolores, return the box to Lily, you'll just lose your job and leave the industry, and we won't hold anyone else accountable. ”

"It's not me, ma'am, it's not me. "Doloris still doesn't admit it, but she knows that she has a moment of greed and disaster, what means will Tavorman use?

Fortunately, she was careful enough to put the box somewhere else, "If you don't believe me, come and search my house now." ”

Tawoman and Madeleine searched her house, but of course they couldn't find it. Dolores, who had the initiative, had quietly asked her boyfriend, who didn't know much about it, to drive the box and throw it at the Scholle-Canning dump in the suburbs, so that it was thrown away as garbage......

It's hard to describe how angry Jill Taverman was, if it weren't for Lily's trip to New York to relax, she suddenly had some idea at the airport, called her and told her to put a box in the utility room back in her room, she wouldn't have seen the incident, the theft of her home

It is common for celebrities to be stolen from their homes, some are stolen by the assistant himself, and some are stolen by the assistant as a cameo, or just a thief. But it was the first time in her house, and the most suspicious was obviously Doloris. These assistants were recommended at the beginning of their employment, and after many interviews and inspections, there will still be betrayal.

At this juncture, Tavorman wanted to steal only some gold and silver jewelry, not a box of Lily's treasures......

There was no direct evidence from the only two security surveillance cameras, so she could only control Doloris as soon as possible, and then hope that the other party would come to her senses.

But Doloris refused to admit it no matter what she said, but she could see that the other party had stolen the box and didn't find it at her house, and she wouldn't let Doloris go if she was a step too late, but this matter was not suitable for the outside world to know, which would only cause another blow to Lily and cause more mental distress.

Now the most important and best thing is to try to find the chest, and the second is to prevent the box from being sold by Dolores.

On the other hand, if the box can't be recovered, how can you explain it to Lily?

Tavorman thought about it, so he asked his daughter what the box looked like, and then made a box of about the same weight, covered with adhesive tape, and placed it in the corner of her room, containing some wood and paper......

If the fake chest cannot be replaced by the real one, the lie will continue until Lily opens the fake chest.

There will be several possibilities at that time, one is that Lily and the bastard boy reconcile, and the other is that the two break up completely, in both cases, Lily will not be very sad, angry and regretful.

The worst thing is that the relationship between the two is not clear, and Lily knows the truth, so she must be very sad.

Tavorman would not give up on retrieving the box, and in order to prevent another possibility that the box would actually be discarded as garbage, she hired people to go to various garbage dumps to ask the scavengers if they were there, but if this was the case, the hope of finding it was very slim.

"Wow oh oh"

Under the night sky, Ye Wei drove a Volkswagen sedan with a changed look, carrying the old black George, and ran aimlessly on the roads of Los Angeles, the car was not, he was not that kind of stupid. He smiled with old George: "Dude, if this is a convertible sports car, and you change it to a hot beauty with big breasts, then he is the coolest."

Old George smiled happily and showed his missing front teeth.

"ecae" Ye Wei yelled as much as he could, and the foul words floated out of the car window, echoing in the bustling city streets, disappearing in the traffic flow, it had been a long time since he had spewed foul language so happily, and after throwing garbage with Litley ItvrILtttaLI) fLI) fell in love, the foul language was once insulated from him.

But now, I'm free

Call it however you want, "aeaeaeae"

Ye Wei knows that he is not crazy, not crazy because of falling out of love, no, no, no, this is just finding himself, foul language is just a very, very superficial thing, it is a mentality.

That hanging dream made him a bullshit genius, the changes in life, the pursuit of dreams made him gradually change a lot of mentality, some are good, some are really not good, such as being cautious and subtle like a fox, this is no problem, smart people are like that, the problem is that those depression, hypocrisy and depression I don't like

Whenever he had this kind of thought in the past, Ye Wei would think about his family and the girl......

But now, what is he afraid of now? Not afraid of anything now

The box office of "The Wedding is Coming" has received 360,000, the family's debts have been cleared, and the remaining profits can also make the family live better, and the "rotten dentist" is originally a high-income person, and without debt, the family's finances don't have to worry about him at all, ensuring that Toto can eat the best dog food.

Being a star? Ye Wei has never been a star, he worked so hard to promote himself before to pay off his debts quickly, being a star has nothing to do with his dreams, can't he make a movie if he doesn't become a star? Can't make a good movie? No, it doesn't matter at all

Terrence Malik, a dude who is now more than 6 years old, almost never appears in front of the media, every contract signed for production, directing, etc. has provisions to protect portrait rights, others cannot take photos of him, he also refuses all media interviews, he is like a hermit, and there is only one photo on the set of "The Thin Red Line" taken in 196 on Indb

Guess what? Or shoot so many classics

After filming "Day of Heaven" in 19/year, he moved to France and lived in seclusion for 2 years, and went out of the mountain to get a "Thin Red Line" and won 7 Oscar nominations.

Celebrities are vying to cooperate with him, it is he who chooses the star, not the star who chooses him

This is a big director, this is a big man, the key is not not to show up, but what kind of life I want to live, I want to live, not to be a ridiculous ordinary person who sighs "This is reality" and "mature".

To be a star, to be a big man in the eyes of the world? Hahaha, I don't care at all.

"George, life has been in a hurry for decades, you are 3 years old, just a scavenger, but I think you are happier than many celebrities, because you are you, not another person created by a team, this alone is enough for them to be jealous, no wonder you don't need to see a psychiatrist.

A lot of times, we force ourselves not to be ourselves for the sake of other people's ideas and sayings, for things that you don't really need, so happy? No, what kind of life do I want? I haven't completely thought about it yet, but I want to play and play, and I will know, and I can play whatever I want. ”

Ye Wei drove to Beverly Hills, suddenly had an idea, and immediately smiled: "I tell you what is playing? Today, according to reason, I should drink but I am only 6 years old, the law says I can't drink, I don't care if I want to drink."

"I remember drinking a lot before I was 1o years old, hehe, my dad was a jerk. Old George showed two rows of jagged white teeth.

"George, I'll take you to my dentist's office another day to fill your front teeth, I have obsessive-compulsive disorder and can't see anyone else have bad teeth. ”

Ye Wei interjected with a smile, and said: "But play is fun, I don't joke with other people's lives, I won't drink and drive, wait for you to drive." ”

After driving for a while, he didn't know where he came to a convenience store, found a parking space, and gave George old a few hundred dollars, and said, "You go in, buy a copy of Playboy first, and then buy wine as you like, and surprise me until the money is gone." The wonder of life lies in the unknown, oh yes"

Old George thanked Ye Wei firstly, and secondly, this is what he does, the boss speaks, and he does it. George Sr. took the money and got out of the car and ran into the convenience store.

Ye Wei moved to the co-pilot, patting the front desk of the car with both hands like a drum, the more excited he was

He not only found himself, but also found the true joy of making movies, and no longer cared if he could invite Roberts and Hanks to join, he didn't care

The quality of a movie is not determined by whether there is a superstar or not, what is the spirit of independent film? You can shoot with a ministry B, you can shoot with a p, you can shoot with 10,000 dollars, you can shoot with 100,000 dollars, as long as you want to make a movie, you can always make it

Not to mention that he now has a full budget of 6o yuan, he is really extravagant, what kind of superstar do you want? If he can't make a good film for 6o million, he is the world's first stupid donkey.

He wanted to show Willis that he could invite a superstar to play the role of Little Sunshine Beauty, and he wanted to show everyone and Litley how powerful the VIy you love is

It's not that I don't want to do it now, but I want to open it, love doesn't come or not, I welcome it, and it doesn't matter if I don't come.

I will always remember Hanks's support, and I will work hard to repay him with good results, and I must also be myself

"Oh baby baby" was in a high mood, Ye Wei sang, and soon after the old George returned with a full load, "Haha, it seems that I am much happier than 'Tao Zai'."

While taking the latest version of "Playboy" that he had not seen for a long time, he took five or six bottles of beer, red wine and white wine and put them at his feet, and immediately opened the bottle of beer and drank it with a clatter, sighing, "Cool George, drive"

"Where are you going?" asked old George, fastening his seatbelt and driving the car.

"It's on, it's on. Ye Wei waved his hand, drank beer, looked at the night street scene outside, and said: "Do you see? The whole world, there are cages one by one, the more mature and successful people are, the more cages on their bodies, nothing is a big deal, I have played enough, I have already felt it, tonight I feel so clearly that those cages hurt my creativity, and they hurt me as a person I mean, there are some rules you have to follow, and some, you just should it."

George, this is what I want to say about the story of the "Little Beauty of the Daylight" script, Michael River Ent, I, I want to say that this person who is a man with a shelf all day long, is he tired?. ”

"Hehehe. Old George didn't know what Ye Wei was talking about, and he drove very safely.

Suddenly, at this time, a text message came from his private mobile phone, Ye Wei took it out and looked at it, and an unfamiliar number came: "Hello, I'm Michael Angelano, I want to talk to you about Christine." He couldn't help but sigh and laugh and scolded: "It's incredible, what does Christine have to do with me?"

He pressed his phone with interest and replied, "Say what you want to say." ”
