Chapter 80 Braveheart(1/2)
It was almost noon and I hadn't received Ye Weixin's text message yet. Lily felt very surprised and asked others that they hadn't received it. What's going on? Has the contract been signed?
Now this point shouldn't disturb him, right? Thinking of this, she stopped going to the cafeteria and dialed it. However, she bent for a long time and was not connected. She called it after a while, but the phone turned off! Is there anything that was busy?
She had some doubts and thought about calling Lev, "Hey, have you received new news from Wei?"
"No, you don't have it either? It's weird! I sent many text messages to Brother Wei, but he only replied one, saying that he didn't have time and contacted me if he had time. It seemed very busy."
"Oh, OK." Lily put down her phone and was busy with the matter after signing the contract? She didn't understand the process in this regard, so she could only wait.
But she always felt a little bad in her heart. No matter how busy she was, she always had time to reply to a text message, but it was okay...
...
Leaving the Cheyenne Enterprise, Ye Wei dragged his suitcase and walked aimlessly on the streets of Santa Monica. He stayed for a long time from time to time, watching the traffic and passers-by, expressionless.
His soul was like a frozen person, looking at these things like an outsider, who had been happy and celebrating before, and these fucked people today, and they didn't feel anything. Is this a kind of psychological defense system of human beings? When they suddenly get a heavy blow, that's it?
He didn't know, he had no idea how he was like this now, because of that dream, he knew the sinister world, knew a lot of knowledge, and matured a lot, but he had never experienced such a thing, and he was a 16-year-old boy a month away.
Walking bravely all the way, I suddenly realized that I had already fallen into a dark swamp, and the water was almost overwhelming.
Why? Why do you do this? Bruce Willis is clearly a good person who is willing to give young people a chance. He has already agreed. That day he was so excited about the whole plan! Why did he regret it again? He also wanted to use this despicable means to deceive "The Little Sunshine Beauty"...
As long as he thought about this matter a little, Ye Wei felt a breathless heart twitching, so he stopped again and put his mind in a numb state.
Win-win? He didn't think about it, and didn't want to think about it at all, but he could feel that darkness was rushing from all directions and was about to devour him...
After walking for a while, Ye Wei suddenly found that he had come outside his father's dentist clinic, entered the small building, and looked at the entrance of the clinic. He saw that in the hall, his father wearing a white coat and a mask was standing beside the dental chair, and was performing some dental surgery on a client. Michel, a black nurse, helped.
"Anesthetic." Dad said.
Michelle handed him a small needle filled with potion, and his father skillfully and carefully injected the client on the chair, "It hurts a little, bear it, and it will be fine right away."
Ye Wei looked at it secretly for a while, then turned around and left, not wanting to disturb the operation, Lowett's words faintly rang in his ears: "Your father works so hard and goes to work on weekends, do you bear it?" And his father went home every day, and his exhausted look came to his heart...
After leaving the clinic, Ye Wei walked back to Brentwood from Santa Monica. After walking for two hours, he was almost noon and returned to his home.
During this period, Lev and his friends sent a text message to ask how it was. Lily also called, but he didn't want to answer, and he didn't know what to say. Now nothing is clear, what to say?
Failed? Things changed. You could have been making a big splash, just because I wanted to be a producer and director, and I made you unlucky together, because I...
Lily, this time I lost on the 6th... Did you lose? The game is over?
"Mom, I'm back."
Ye Wei shouted and entered the room. Toto ran up happily and came to the dining room. He saw his mother sitting at the dining table again, burying her head to translate the documents. There were always so many documents to be translated, and it seemed that there had not been a decrease, and it was always pressing there in piles.
Mom looked up and smiled expectantly, "It's time for me to sign a contract?"
"Well... there was a small problem in the contract, and it needs to be revised, so..." Ye Wei shrugged with a wry smile. It seemed that lawyer Salton did not tell them.
"What's the problem? Is it okay?" Mom noticed it a little. Ye Wei suddenly laughed and waved his hand to the back garden: "It's nothing, I don't know much about the lawyer's business." Mom had no doubts and asked, "Have you had lunch? There's something to eat in the freezer."
"I've eaten it, where is Duoduo?" Ye Wei was not in the mood to eat.
"She followed Langdon's family to the beach and came back in the evening."
"What? Mom, don't worry?" Ye Wei was shocked. Although Mrs. Langdon's family was very nice and she occasionally helped to take care of Duoduo, but! Mom never did this before...
"Your sister is trying to go, I can't do anything. It's okay. It's not the first time I've been here recently." Mom frowned and buried her head back to the pile of documents. "I'm very busy with the work. Are you still going to school in the afternoon? I don't have time to take you to the house, so call a taxi."
Ye Wei lowered his eyes and shook his head, "I won't go, I'm busy with some things... I'm just coming back to see you, go out now, goodbye, mom..." He turned and left, and the disgusting words rang again: Your mother? Your sister? Are they doing well?
500,000 signing prepaid, Malibu vacation villa, talented man creation plan, 20-year-old feature film director... just not filming "The Little Sunshine Beauty"...
Bank debt, terrible dream, more difficult road, everyone is happy, failure, disappointment...
Agree, dreams are shattered... Reject, dreams are...
"Sometimes, I really hate dream chasing people like you! ... Wasting your talents and your youth!"
"Our dreams come true!"
"Go forward, but forward!"
The messy thoughts and broken words swept through his mind like a storm, rolling up waves of storms, constantly entangled, tumbling, and surging. He shook his head suddenly, scratched his head hard, slapped his forehead, making him almost vomit, but those damn sounds were still coming...
There seemed to be a voice of his own: "Agree? What you got is good? As they said, be more rational and smart, agree?"
The voice became clearer and clearer: Why? When you become a big shot, these are not what you are going to be. Why are you still hesitating? I really don’t understand why you insist? Why?
"No, no, no..."
Ye Wei shook his head while dragging his suitcase on the street, shaking his head and dispelling the hateful voice. Why? Because he doesn't want to be a despicable person he disdains. If he abandons all his beliefs for the so-called success, then what's the joy of success?
That's actually a failure, isn't it?
"No!!! No!!!" he suddenly shouted, his eyes were about to burst, "I don't want to be that kind of person. I, Ye Wei, not that kind of person... I am not a zombie, nor a living person, I am a hero... I am a hero..."
The fire in my eyes was still igniting. Although it was in a storm and storm, it was shaky and very weak, but the fire did not go out...
There is always a way, there is always a way...
He took out his cell phone and turned it on, and called someone.
...
At around 3:00 p.m., when Harvard-West Lake was over school, Lily's worries were getting worse and worse, but she still didn't reply to any news! Something must have happened.
Suddenly, the call from the phone vibrated. She hurriedly took it out and saw that it was Ramo who called. While walking towards the green belt on the side of the road with few people, she answered in confusion.
"Good afternoon, Ramo."
"Lily, a bad news..." Ramo's low voice came from his phone, and it seemed difficult to speak out. Lily said in surprise: "Shi Wei's business? What's wrong with him?" Ramo sighed: "I just knew it. When he asked me for my father's mobile phone number at noon, he couldn't hear any abnormality..."
"What's wrong!?"
"That old man is crazy. I'm really ashamed of him. He's crazy." Ramo was both depressed and ashamed, and he couldn't hear any arrogance. "They no longer want to be the producer and director of "The Little Beauty of Sunshine", and it seems that they have used some shameful tricks to take away the project, but they didn't agree. He... he must be very sad."
What? What...!? Lily was stunned, shook her head and made her come to her senses, and said anxiously: "What do you know? Tell me all!"
"I don't know much..."
...
In Crestwood Villa Park, Ye Wei sat in the woods on the hillside, leaning against the beautiful big tree, and using his cell phone.
After beating for a few more times, it was immediately cut off. Willis refused to answer. It was the thirty-second time since noon.
At this time, a call came to his cell phone, and it was Lily again. She called five times, but he really didn't want to answer it. He wanted to have a conversation with her next time, which could be the excitement of the last time, and the joy of success, rather than sadness and disappointment.
He sent her another text message: "I'm really fine. If you have some serious business, don't bother me first, thank you."
Almost instantly, she replied to the text: "Where are you? I'll face it with you."
She got it? Which bastard told her! I'm meddling too much! What to face, and a bunch of shit!? Is it fun!
Ye Wei almost threw his phone out, endured it, pressed the keyboard of the phone, and sent a text message to Willis: "Mr. Willis, what are you afraid of? A tough guy who dares not answer a single call? What do you think? You can tell me clearly, don't be like a little girl!"
After a while, he called over the thirty-third time, and after nearly ten beeps this time, he suddenly connected!
Ye Wei immediately had his eyes lit up, and he sat up straight, and his strength came to his body, "Mr. Willis, I'm sorry, I just made a provocation just now, we need to have a good talk!"
"No need for this." Willis's words were very plain, as if something extremely important to him was nothing in the big man.
The phone said indifferently: "This is how it is. They have told you clearly enough. I have something wrong, but it is. In Hollywood, anything can change, anyone can change, even your family.
However, I have indeed been moved and promised you, but I also want to win the Oscars, which is something you can't bring to me. The change of plan is still very good for your age and identity! Do you have to be so anxious and greedy? You are obedient now and in a few years, you will definitely have the opportunity to direct it."
It was still Lowett's rhetoric, Ye Wei lowered his head, "Sir... Don't be blinded by those people. Mr. Willis, the one I know, is a sincere, friendly to young people, willing to give opportunities..."
"Okay, that's it. If you change your mind, contact Lowett and stop harassing me. I can pull you on the blacklist and don't let me do this."
As soon as Willis finished speaking, he hung up, leaving only beeps on his phone.
Ye Wei's face turned pale and he was stunned for a long time before he put down his phone. He shook his head and smiled, not knowing why he was laughing, big man? This is big man.
He threw away his phone casually and hit the suitcase next to him with a bang. He turned his head to look at it, opened the box, and was stunned again.
The documents in the box were exactly the same as when I left it before. Even that sketch had not been moved, and it was still stuck in the front of the storyboard document... Willis had never read it at all. To be precise, he had never opened the box at all.
"Hahaha!" He couldn't help laughing, "Hahahaha!"
Scenes of scenes in the past few months have emerged in front of me, at the Ivy Restaurant, in Las Vegas, in Santa Monica... It seems like yesterday, the anxiety and rescue of the time came to my heart! The result... the result!
"Hahahahaha!" He smiled, pulled out the sketch, folded it into a paper plane, threw it out hard, and whistled: "Take off, sheriff!!"
The paper plane swayed in the air, flew more than ten meters, and fell on the grass on the hillside.
"Oh, the plane crashed, hahaha..."
Soon, another paper plane appeared in the sky, and then another one.
...
After answering the call from Ramona, Lily was both angry and worried, and Wei's text message only aggravated her worries.
Although there was training on the track and field team, how could she still stay in school? While leaving, she called and asked everyone about the news and whereabouts. She wanted to see him. In such a difficult time, she just wanted to be with him...
When she came to Ye Wei's house in a taxi, Lily still couldn't find him. His mother didn't know the situation and didn't know where Wei was going. She left as if she was okay. Wei was in Brentwood at noon. Are she still there now? Where?
She suddenly thought of a place, that big tree! He was there, and she felt it.
Continue to take a taxi to the destination. After more than ten minutes, Lily arrived at the park. It was past 4 pm. There were only some tourists in the west recreation facilities, and the woods in the north were very quiet.
To be continued...
