Chapter 21: Boys and Girls
After a morning and half an afternoon, more than half a hundred students registered their investments in the Dream Chaser League Club, all of which ranged from 1,ooo to 3,ooo, while Babu voted for 5,ooo, which was the most among the five people, so he got a copy of the July 1998 issue of Playboy, and he was busy.
Although he has scattered all the adult magazines he has collected over the years, Ye Wei is very happy, and the enthusiasm and trust of his brothers make him full of gratitude.
He also has a responsibility to make this production crowdfunding go down in history as a successful example, so that everyone can become the cool kids who are noticed by the world!
Now a total of more than 220,000 US dollars has been raised, but all the money is still just the number in the register, you have to set up a new company first, and then open a bank account of the company, before you can sign the contract, post the account and other links, the investment contract also needs to find a professional entertainment lawyer to draft, there are too many things.
But today is Veterans Day, don't worry, at about the same time in the afternoon, Ye Wei announced the disbandment, and today is over, everyone can enjoy the remaining half-day holiday!
Brentwood, Sunset Avenue East, a bus stop next to a beautiful resident's house.
Lily leaned on the silver women's touring bicycle, looked at the watch on her wrist again, frowned slightly, it was almost 16:15, and it was almost 15 minutes out of the agreed time, she muttered dissatisfiedly: "Bastard......"
Whether it was a date or not, was it a gentleman's fault to be late? Besides, she had never been treated like this, she hadn't even thought about it......
Did he forget about it? wait...... She suddenly thought of a more terrifying possibility, the whole thing was Ye Wei playing tricks on her, where was he hiding and laughing wildly while peeping?
But before she could think about it, she saw a figure on a bicycle running at the intersection across the avenue, Ye Wei, who was wearing a sports T-shirt and jeans, she was immediately relieved, she was thinking too much, but she was rudely late......
The red mountain bike with the back seat stopped in front of her, Ye Wei put his feet on the ground, and exhaled: "I'm sorry, I'm late, I just came back from school." ”
"School?" Lily was stunned, it was better to find a bad excuse for this kind of thing than to joke, of course she didn't buy it: "Aha, it's funny." ”
"It's true, not studying, but busy with some things. Ye Wei parked his bicycle and walked down, mentally prepared that the other party would have a temper, and it was indeed his fault to be late.
"Really...... All right. "Lily believes it, mainly because of VIy, if she really wants to be late, she will be justifiably late, and there is no need to lie.
"Uh, thanks. Ye Wei was a little incredulous, she wouldn't be possessed by the Virgin Mary, right? He couldn't help but look her up and down.
White T-shirts, light blue thin coats, linen-colored cloth cropped pants, are some Chanel and other famous brands, she rolled up her sleeves slightly, brown and black show a ponytail, with a small bow clip, the style is sassy, and has youth, cuteness and beauty.
The two thick long eyebrows are still so heroic, and in the clear eyes, it seems to be ...... There is a hint of coquettishness.
He laughed and said, "You look good." ”
"Thank you......" Lily rolled her eyes, but there was a pleasant sweetness in her heart, and she looked at the back of his bicycle regardless of him......
Seeing this, Ye Wei turned around and took out something from the bamboo basket tied to the back seat, it was the Jane Eyre Alexander doll, and he hummed the "March of the Empire" in a calm voice!
"Shut up!" Lily was immediately amused, this is not Vader, this is Jane Eyre! Jane Eyre, who she has been looking for for a long time! She was so happy and excited that she reached out to take it, but he raised his hands and said sternly, "Young lady, you still have to pass an assessment to get it", she sneered, "What!?"
"It's Veterans Day, so Jane Eyre wants to know your attitude towards war before she can decide whether to follow you or not. It doesn't want to become a soldier one day and be nicknamed 'Deaf' by its instructors and comrades......"
Before she could hear what it meant, Lily's smile was already more cheerful, "Why 'deaf'?"
"Because it's called Jank-ear, you know that's how English is Americans. Ye Wei looked helpless.
"Haha...... I see......" Lily couldn't help but laugh out loud, Jane-eyre, Jank-ear, her shoulders trembling, "Do you hate Jane-Eyre that much?"
Ye Wei glared and smiled: "It's not me, the army is like that!" Come on, your answer." ”
"Ok, ok......" Lily suppressed her smile, stared at her eyebrows, and pretended to be stern: "The war is rotten, I hope for world peace." "That's true!
"Well, may there be peace in the world, may the Force be with you and me, the 'deaf' is yours. Ye Wei solemnly handed the Jane Eyre doll to her with both hands, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you're a war maniac, anyway, it's a deaf person and can't hear what you say." ”
Lily couldn't help but smile again, and took the ancient doll, her mood was indescribable, joyful, moving, and dreamy...... She hugged the doll, looked at him with soft eyes, and said with a smile: "Thank you, this gift is very heavy for me, I like it very much, thank you." ”
"Cherish it. Ye Wei shrugged his shoulders and said, he was also happy in his heart, this was the most correct hundred yuan he had spent before.
The handover ceremony was completed, the two looked at each other a few times, and quietly created an atmosphere of unknown reason, they both wanted to say something, and they didn't know what to say, but they each laughed a few times.
Or Ye Wei took the initiative to say: "That's it, or, let's hang out for a while, it's still early......"
"Hmm...... Good. Lily's voice was very soft, her heart beat a little faster, and her heart sounded with her own explanation: "It's not a date with him, after all, I just accepted a gift from him, it's too rude to refuse, it's not a date, it's just hanging out!"
"Where are we going, then?" she asked.
"How's Barrington Dog Park? It's interesting there. ”
"Yes, that's it. ”
At the moment, the two pushed their bicycles to the east, and they could reach their destination in 15 minutes, but they wanted to walk first and have more time to digest the current situation.
There are not many vehicles coming and going on the avenue, and the two leaned against the side of the road, chatting as they went, passing through the gardens of each family, where there were always children playing and chasing, and the flowers and trees were still luxuriant, making people not feel the cold of early winter.
"May I ask you, what are you busy with at school today?Operation Cuttlefish?" Lily was really a little curious, she went back to school during the holidays, she asked herself if she could do it.
"A big deal. Ye Wei turned his head to look at her, told her that it was okay, and said, "I'm raising money for one of my film production projects, and the initial goal is 5o million US dollars." ”
"Huh, do you mean it?" Lily couldn't help but be stunned, his expression and tone were very serious, but what he said made people feel absurd, filmmaker? 9th grader? 5o thousand?
"Really, a lot of people in the school have joined in, and they believe in me, they're all good people. Ye Wei smiled and looked at her, "I understand, it's hard for you to believe it now, but one day in the future, you will be shocked by reality, and when the time comes, think about my words, 'I'll tell you earlier.'" ’”
Lily didn't understand the situation, she just thought he was joking, or referring to the school film festival, exaggerating the amount, so she smiled and nodded: "Then I'll wait for that day." ”
Talking about the movie, she remembered something again, and said seriously: "For "The Wedding is Coming", as well as the rumors about you in school, I want to say it again, I'm sorry. ”
"No, "The Wedding is Coming" didn't knock down my family, and I'm already very glad and proud. ”
Ye Wei exhaled, after the accident, it was the first time to confide in others about this, but I didn't expect the object to be her, "I don't want it to become a harm, but a wake-up call, a start, let me make a good change." In the past, I lived under the protection of my parents' wings, and I only knew how to ask, but now, I am different, I know how to take responsibility, I know how to leave my parents' wings, grow up, and then shelter the family who loves you and you love. ”
As Lily listened, her heart couldn't help but ripple, she didn't expect him to be so serious and mature, and it didn't seem to be just a cynical bastard......
"I want to make a film to achieve this goal. Maybe you think, 'What movie, what can a child under 16 make?'"
He paused and said firmly: "But I don't see it that way, it all depends on whether we work hard and pursue." Sometimes, you have to make yourself fanatical and paranoid, don't think so much, don't pay attention to what other people say, be firm in your goals, believe that you will succeed, and keep going, no matter what, keep going. ”
"Yes......" Lily nodded, looking at the young face that seemed to be radiating light, if it was mature before, it is a little more advanced now......
She has met many excellent peers who often let others see their naivety, and he gives her that feeling now, but a little different, not a high role model or an opponent, but a partner who can lead you forward......
"Ye, I felt that way just now. She didn't know what she wanted to say, and tried to explain: "But...... As our school motto says, 'They can because they think they can', and I think you should stick to your own ideas no matter what you do, even if no one thinks highly of you. ”
"Thank you, I will. Ye Wei felt her encouragement, and his heart burned, "Call me Wei, Weige is okay, but in Chinese, it is pronounced as Brother Wei, so." ”
Lily smiled when she heard this: "It's fine, only!"
"Lily. Ye Wei also smiled and asked, "What about you, do you have any goals?"
"I don't know yet......" Lily thought and shook her head uncertainly, "Maybe become a show host...... Well, I'm very motivated to be the youngest talk show host......
But it was just an idea, she really didn't think about it that much, but she felt that she was thinking too much among her peers aged 14-16. At least she wasn't interested in the sisters, the nail polish color.
"Stand-up comedy, then you really need to practice your eloquence, if you don't want to be called Limbs-Collins. ”
Ye Wei laughed and pressed the bell of the bicycle, and it suddenly jingled, as if it was also laughing.
"Bastard. Lily glared at him with a smile and kicked his bike. Limbs is a colloquial phrase for legs, especially for beautiful women's legs, and his joke is that if you don't have enough eloquence, you can only get attention to her legs......
"I'll admit, you're better at speaking than I am at the moment, but I'm not bad either, Viper!" she countered.
"Oh! this has hurt me. Ye Wei looked surprised, Viper meant poisonous snakes, drug addicts, drug dealers, and sinister and vicious people...... He said angrily: "My joke is also a compliment, but your joke will only offend the guests!"
"This is a special treat for you, and no other guest has it. Lily also laughed and rang the bell of her bike, tink-tink-tink.
"You're mean. Ye Wei said with a smile, and a very natural thought arose: "Don't you want to sing, the youngest Grammy winner?"
"No talent, no interest......" Lily's smile faded slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she still didn't say it, she looked preoccupied, and said after a while: "I don't like it when people look at me as 'Phil Collins's daughter', I am who I am, nothing else, do you understand?"
A guy who wants to prove himself independently?Or a girl who always resents her father?Ye Wei nodded, "Okay, but you know, that's always a fact. ”
Lily hummed slightly, "Yes, I just want to...... I don't know ......."
"Hey, don't talk about that, let's have some fun!" Ye Wei suddenly interrupted her confusion and raised it with great interest. They just seemed to be friends, talking about so many serious and strict things, whether it was hanging out or dating, wasn't it all for fun!
"What?" Lily didn't think about it, her eyes lit up, and she became interested.
"Well, it's a bicycle race, whoever gets to the park first, wins! The loser has to be punished, bark at the dogs, and start-"
Ye Wei didn't say anything yet, so he ran to push the bicycle, jumped on the seat cushion, stepped on his feet wildly, and the wind was speeding away in the direction of the park.
"Hey, wait!Start over, I'm not ready yet!" Lily quickly rolled into the car and chased after her, "I'm not a mountain bike yet, it's not fair!!"
"Girl, there is no such thing as fairness in this world, only victory and defeat, hahahaha-"
"It's not fair, but you're still going to lose...... wait!"
In the trees along the quiet avenue, a few squirrels were looking for food, and two laughing bicycle figures swept past one after the other, allowing their eyes to follow.
