At dusk, Brentwood, the bus stopped at a bus stop on the eastern section of St. Vicente Avenue. The door opened. Ye Wei walked out quickly and rushed towards South Gretner Green Street to the north. Look at the verdant coral trees, breathing the wind with the smell of the sea, home, sweet home!

The streets of the residential area are covered with trees and beautiful high-end houses lined up. Children and dogs play on the garden lawn, full of joy.

There are about 40,000 people here, 80% white, 9% Asian, 6% Hispanic, 1% black and 4% others. More than half of the residents have received education from college or above, 16% are high-end professionals such as doctors, and only 5% have high-end education below high school education.

A real good district with high education, high income, high quality and low crime, has had many celebrity residents in history, such as Monroe and Schwarzenegger.

Shortly after Ye Wei was born, his parents bought a house here with a loan in order to give his son a best growth environment.

Ye Wei grew up here since he was a child. It can be said that if he closes his eyes, he can walk back to the two-story house with gray roof and white walls surrounded by flowers, plants and trees. However, after that dream, he had a long-lost feeling, as if the wanderer who had been wandering for many years finally returned home.

His home is not far from the bus stop. He ran for a few minutes and was about to arrive...

He had called home before, and was still on the lawn of the Qianyuan Garden, with his father Ye Haogen and his mother Jo-Ku.

There was also a little black-haired girl chasing and playing with a Kane terrier puppy, and bursts of laughter came. It was his sister Ye Duo and pet Toto, all of whom were happy pies at home.

"Wow!" Toto discovered him first.

"Brother!" Duoduo also saw it, her cute face was full of joy, and she ran over with her little hands spread out and flew.

Ye Wei rushed forward, put down the bag of information and documents, picked her up with a smile, and rotated it around, "Oh--"

Looking at her innocent smile, he also smiled wildly: "Hi, Dorothy! Toto!" He kissed his sister's forehead and put her down. He hugged the dog who was turning around, "I miss you so much..."

Toto licked his face excitedly, his tail was so shaking that it was hard to see clearly, full of vitality, yes, it was a young puppy who was only three years old.

Duoduo is still the little girl who was just three years old, enjoying her carefree childhood. Instead of the little adult who lived a wrinkled life in her dream and collecting coupons, she never said, "Mom, I won't go to college anymore, don't save money for me, I want to give all the money to my brother to shoot graduation works."

very nice.

Ye Wei took the lead and walked towards the lawn, and a stern reprimand came: "Wei, what's wrong with you?"

It was his mother, that dignified and beautiful middle-aged woman.

Gu Qiao also has a university degree. A graduate of the East Asian Languages ​​Department of the University of California, San Francisco could have worked hard for a good career, but she is a family-style woman. After marrying Ye Haogen, she became a full-time housewife. Her family is all about her. Because of her superior life, the years have not left many traces on her.

Seeing her, Ye Wei's mood suddenly churned again, tears almost poured out, and she shouted: "Mom!"

In that dream, my mother lived a hard life. Because she was old and only had only half a year of work experience after graduating from college. Although she tried hard to find a job, she could not find a professional job at all. She had to take care of Duoduo and him, so she could only do some casual work, and she had to work several times at the same time for many years.

At night, she also took on some translation documents work. She was busy until two or three in the morning every night. After six o'clock, she got up and went out again...

Even the iron man had to endure such a work rhythm. When he woke up from his dream, she had just entered the hospital because of a sudden fainting. The doctor said that due to long-term fatigue, if she didn't have a good rest, she would have the possibility of sudden death at any time...

"Don't think of doing this with me." Gu Qiao looked funny and angry, and said harshly: "What did you do in school today? Teacher Aishi has called me and she told me everything! How can you be so rude? What are you thinking? You have to pretend to be sick and skip school. What's going on?"

"Mom, I was wrong, I was really wrong..." Ye Wei choked and said, "I was wrong to let you bear so much by yourself, but that won't come true, no."

Gu Qiao's reaction to his son was very strange, and his attitude softened: "Tell mom, has something happened?"

Ye Haogen from behind quietly gave his son a thumbs up. There is a way! Ye Wei couldn't help but smile.

This made Gu Qiao look back and get angry, scolding both father and son: "It's all you spoiled your son. When he can't even get into college in the future, do you see if you smile! And you, don't think that your father will support you, you'll be fine. You have to carefully review your mistakes and be a good student. There are only good students in our family."

Duoduo next to him was so anxious that he finally said angrily: "Mom, don't scold your brother! It's my fault..."

The three of them were stunned and couldn't help but laugh. Gu Qiao asked, "What's wrong with you?" Duoduo said with his head down: "It was me who stole those candies, it's not my brother's business." Gu Qiao said fiercely: "Okay, it turns out it's you!"

Duoduo, who didn't tell the truth, was scolded, and Ye Wei was scolded even more, but his attitude was completely different from before. Not only was he willing to listen, but he was also willing to admit his mistake and apologize.

Faced with his son's strategy, Gu Qiao was helpless. He was a rebellious age like him who was thinking about being a cool child. He should be able to refute his mouth, just like before. Then she could use a confinement level punishment, but now, she could only punish him for doing some housework.

"OK, I've got the housework for today." Ye Wei smiled and picked up the bag of documents. Following the steps of his parents, he walked back home with Duoduo and Toto. "I want to make a sumptuous dinner. I'm the only one who cooks. You are only responsible for eating."

Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao looked at each other, and their eyes were strange, "So well-behaved?"

"Yes, you'd better get used to it as soon as possible, this is me from now on."

Ye Wei spoke very seriously and sweared silently in his heart that no matter what happens in the future, Dad, Mom, Duoduo, Toto, everything will be fine, I promise. I will fight to the death to protect our happiness, even if I want me to go to hell, as long as you go to heaven.

"Listen first, I hope you can hold on for a week." "Do I really have tooth decay?" "Little sweet cakes, dad can tell you that if you eat so many candies, your teeth will be pulled out by me."

They were laughing and saying something, no one knew how serious he was in his heart at this moment.

...

Under the night, South Gretner Green Street was brightly lit. After a happy dinner, the Ye family gradually became quiet.

Ye Wei thought it was time to talk to his father, so he came to the study with the bag of information and documents. There was a light in the study, and his father was a little worried: "Kevin, is this really the only way?" Dongdong, he knocked on the carved wooden door that was not covered.

In the huge study, there are rows of bookshelf full of books. In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Ye Haogen was wandering and chatting about the phone: "Don't you participate in the film festival? We haven't done any publicity yet..."

Ye Wei walked over with his footsteps, and could vaguely hear the voices from the phone: "The film industry is very complicated. It's not like a dentist. It's not like a tooth decay, and then pull it out. Now the trend of wedding movies is about to pass, and we don't have time to spend on those film festivals, and our money can only be done like this. But we still have many opportunities. Don't forget that our main distribution target is not theaters, but various copyright sales..."

"Yes, I know, I know, just..." Ye Haogen frowned, but couldn't say anything to refute.

Ye Wei secretly scolded Kevin Thomas, and said to himself: "Dad, you don't know!"

"The Wedding Period is Coming" does not participate in the film festival because of some damn trend, but it is so bad that I dare not participate! If you can't enter a big film festival, you will be laughed at even in a small film festival.

So its copyright is also difficult to sell. In that dream, Kevin Thomas boasted about his connections, knowing big names, and overseas publishers, but he could not cash out. It took four or five years to sell the whole film's ownership of North America and overseas to a small film for 300,000 yuan.

It spent a total of 2 million yuan in production fees and 200,000 yuan in distribution fees. The six investors, including the Ye family, naturally lost all their money.

The worst thing is the Ye family, who spent 1.8 million yuan.

Ye Haogen did not have a response to the failure of investment. He originally planned to pay off the 1.5 million debts as long as his dentist clinic was still there. However, he had no savings and had to work harder, which could not endanger his family and life.

And what happened later, no one expected...

But Ye Weide said that investing in movies with loans is undoubtedly a gambler mentality. Dad has been blinded by the movie dream that has been suppressed in his heart for many years and Kevin Thomas' sweet words.

Now my father is still a person who is dreaming that he doesn't want to wake up. Moreover, "The Wedding Day is Coming" is his third child in his heart. No matter what the child looks like, good parents will always love their children. He is like that. He can laugh and say that it is "not as good as "My Grand Greek Wedding", but not bad."

What a respectable and pitiful dream chaser.

"Haogen, movie distribution is a professional job, just leave it to me, you can't help much."

"Well, okay... I really can't do anything, okay, goodbye."

With a beep, Ye Haogen put down the phone, scratched his head and let out a long sigh, then looked at Ye Wei, and asked with a smile, "Have you finished your homework?"
