"Wayne, you have to watch that student short film, oh my... it's incredible! You have to watch it, and then we revisit the candidate for 'Oper'."

"What's wrong? That short film was OK?"

"It's okay? After you've seen it, you won't say that. It was actually made by a high school student with a guided and soundtrack. Can you believe it?! That child is a genius! He is a genius! Wayne, to be honest, I think about it in a few years. When it comes to Chinese directors, the first thing that everyone thinks of is not you, not An-Li, it's him, it's him..."

"Oh, oh... OK, I'll watch it today, and I'll call you after watching it."

In the spacious hall, after putting down the phone, Wang Ying's old face was full of confusion. She had been working together for a while. He knew that Trivor Albert was not a person who spoke exaggeratedly. The reason why the other party praised the short film was almost crazy, then "Dance of Angels" must be very exciting.

A Chinese high school student who pushed his glasses, Wang Ying became more and more curious. Until this phone call, he always thought that the so-called short film was just the last move of Anna Sofia Rob's agent team: it was a very third round of audition shot, and it also deliberately said it was a Chinese work to bring him closer.

Wang Ying doesn't like this. In the second round of auditions, the results were actually very clear, and Saoirse Ronan won.

What's the point of doing these little moves? So he took back the DVD for more than a day, but he didn't watch it, almost forgot about it.

By the way, where did that DVD be placed? Wang Ying still had to think about it before remembering that he had not taken it out in his briefcase.

Albert's call now is really an accident. What's going on? A genius high school student?

Wang Ying has never had any fate with the word genius. He was born in Hong Kong in 1949. When he was 18 years old, he came to the United States alone to work hard. With his hard work, he went from a farm handyman to a film director.

He made his debut work at the age of 33, and at the age of 53, he made his first Hollywood commercial film, "Cinderella Manhattan". His results were pretty good, giving him a small place in the cruel Hollywood industrial machine. Then there was the second commercial film, "It's all the troubles caused by Daisy", with a budget of more than 10 million.

Although he could no longer stand the creative shackles, rhythmic and emotional brought by Hollywood industry... but as long as he took on the job, he had to do his best and be loyal to others and oneself. This is why he is not an old farm handyman today.

Since the beginning of the year, "It's All Daisy's Caused" has started the preliminary preparations, and now it has done almost all aspects, but the candidate for the heroine has not been decided for a long time.

The third round of auditions ended a few days ago, Saoirse Ronan won, and then filmed another sample of the process, and the crew would sign a contract with her.

I thought the candidate had already settled, but I didn't expect another accident. Albert praised him so much, and Wang Ying had to watch it, and he really became very interested.

"Where is my briefcase?" He looked around. There was nothing on the sofa. He was about to look for it when his old wife Miao Qianren shouted from the kitchen: "Wayne, come here to help!"

"Oh, here we come!"

...

In Las Vegas, after more than an hour's flight, Ye Wei's flight landed successfully at McCarland International Airport at nearly 6 pm.

After getting off the plane, Ye Wei sent a text message to his parents to report his safety, so he hurriedly left the airport, took a taxi, and headed to the Caesar Palace Hotel.

In more than ten minutes, he could see the magnificent ancient Roman-style five-star hotel, and his eyes were condensed, "Come on, go and win the competition!"

...

Due to the time difference, the clock points in the United States vary. The members of the Dream Chasing Alliance have calculated the time to watch synchronously. At around 20:00 in Las Vegas, no matter where you are or what you do, you must turn on the TV and play "Dance of Angels" DVD!

It’s best to bring together family and friends, and everyone around you, and enjoy this 10-minute feast together!

Most people are preparing to watch at their residences, while others are planning to visit shopping malls, any shop or entertainment venue on the street, asking the owner to help play...

"It's definitely not a bad image! Oh my God, do you think I look like that kind of person? What!? I'm despicable!?"

"Sir, please help. This short film is guaranteed to bring you more customers. I'll lend you a night of broadcasting."

"This is a professional work taken by VIY! VIY is the hero of our school. Let me tell you about his deeds..."

"He is a dreamer! He is a leader! He is a man!"

At the same time, New York, three hours earlier than Las Vegas, so it is already 9 pm now. Manhattan on Christmas Eve is more beautiful. There is a giant Christmas tree in front of the Rockefeller Center building, and there are shining Christmas lights everywhere. There are countless tourists dressed as Santa Claus...

If there was really Santa Claus, I don’t know what his expression would be. Anyway, people are very happy, it was a sleepless night.

At the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Lily, her mother, her father's family, her sister and her brother's family have been staying here these days, of course, it is a different luxury suite. In addition to the children, the two ex-wifeses don't want to meet with their ex-husbands.

That night, Lily first had a Christmas dinner with her mother in the hotel restaurant, and then went to her father's table for the second half, and had to go to her sister and brother's table to greet her. She was so busy.

Then, except for the two ex-wifes, everyone returned to their father's suite to rest and get together.

But not long after, the whole family sat on the sofa watching TV shows. Before the scene of laughter appeared, they couldn't stay anymore and prepared to disband and went out for fun. Except for Lily, she thought everyone could stay until 11 o'clock.

"After 11 o'clock! Will we go out and play after 23:15? Jolie, Simon, Dad?"

Lily stopped in front of the door of the suite with a sincere smile on her face, looked at her sister, brother and father, and shouted to her stepmother and brother behind her, "Orien, Nick, what do you think?"

"No interest." Simon Collins, 27, vocal cords mocked her vocal cords, and her fat body was about to continue walking out, "It's so boring to stay here."

"Wait!" Lily just stopped her from leaving.

Phil Collins' old face raised a puzzled smile and asked, "Lily, why is that?"

"Yes, please tell us clearly?" 31-year-old Jolie Collins was also laughing, not understanding.

"Okay..." Lily could not continue to remain mysterious. She wanted to reveal it slowly, but she said helplessly: "Come here." She brought everyone to the classical sofa, took out a DVD disc from her handbag, and her smile became a little sweeter, "Dangdong! Guess what this is?"

"Please guess what, you're wasting your time." Simon was a little impatient, "Dad's concert video?"

"Lily's video of your track and field competition?" Qiao Li also guessed the answer. She remembered that Lily was a track and field team in school, and the event she played seemed to be pole jumping.

Simon suddenly guessed again: "It's not that you are playing rock too, album CD? Haha!"

When he heard this, Phil Collins looked forward to it, "Is that true?"

"No!" Lily smiled helplessly again. Their reaction was not as interesting as expected. She said: "This is a short film made by a good friend of my school. It is professionally level and it is very well shot! I want everyone to watch it together, Dad, there is also a surprise inside, you will like it!"

"Oh?" Phil Collins was actually a little disappointed. A short film from a good friend? That was not what he wanted.

"Watch it now?" Qiao Li looked at the LCD TV on the wall over there. At this time, Orion dragged his son Nicholas back from the bathroom and asked curiously: "What are you watching?" Simon said in a tone: "Lily's DV short video."

"It's not a DV short film, it's professional digital photography, you can tell if you look at it." Lily smiled, "But it's not now, wait until 23:00, right? Let's stay here for two more hours and watch "How Beautiful Life" just right."

She hopes that the whole family will read "How Beautiful Life" every Christmas Eve every year, but unfortunately she will never.

"Lily, why have to wait until 23:00?" Phil Collins asked in confusion.

"Because we watched simultaneously at that time, many of us agreed to ask our family to share..." Lily turned her bright eyes like a coquettish act and smiled: "No matter what, this is a cool thing!"

However, everyone is not very interested. The coolness of a teenager is stupid in other words.

Simon looked down at the watch, "You either broadcast it now or I'll leave." Phil Collins didn't support it, "Two hours are too long." Jolie knew that everyone had decided to go, so she advised: "Lily, broadcast it now?"

They all ignored her idea of ​​watching "How Beautiful Life" together, and thought it was just a joke, after all, the video was not very suitable for their "family".

"Everyone, listen to me..." Lily's smile gradually disappeared. "This time, watching synchronously has great significance, and I promise that the short film will be very exciting..."

There is also a surprise gift inside! Dad, it is for you. She added silently in her heart, which is also the main reason why she is here, rather than preparing to watch with her mother.

"Oh, please! Let me guess what the film was, in class? Fighting?" Simon's joking and impatience became even heavier, "Isn't it just a middle school student's photo shoot? How wonderful it can be?"

"I said, this is a 10-minute short film! It's very serious and wonderful." Lily was a little powerless.

Qiao Li said in a gentle voice: "Lily, everyone wants to go out and play, so let's watch it first? If it's cool, it will be cool now."

"No... Qiao Li, this is still a kind of support, a kind of peer... a kind of sharing..."

"Dad, I want to go out and see the Christmas tree!" At this time, Nicholas shouted loudly, his little face full of demand.

"Haha!" Phil Collins looked at his younger son and his younger daughter, and hesitated what to do. Nicholas called out again, "Dad!" He immediately smiled and said, "Lily, Nick wants to see the night view of the giant Christmas tree for a long time. Can you watch it again when you come back with the short film?"

"Don't pay attention to her, I don't know what to do." Simon took the lead in walking towards the door, "I made an appointment with a few friends to go to the bar, bye!"

Lily stood there, holding the DVD in both hands, her face darkened, watching Simon strode away, watching her father and Orion, Nick walked towards the door, "Lily, come on!" Looking at Qiao Li's appearance of trying to persuade him...

"Once, once..." She suddenly made a soft voice, her voice rose rapidly, and she roared out like a bomb exploded: "Once!! Can anyone hear what I said once?! Some of you listen to what I want!! Some of you care about me...I!!!"

There was silence, and everyone stopped in a daze. Simon, who had not yet walked away in the corridor, walked back and asked in surprise at the door: "...what's wrong?"

Lily took a deep breath and was stunned, "I'm sorry, everyone, I just want to... just want to..."

"Lily, it's okay, we're all listening to you..." Qiao Li came to her senses first and comforted her gently.

"I'm sorry... I'm missing a little." Lily lowered her head and put the DVD back into her handbag, walked quickly to the bathroom, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Until the sound of the bathroom closing came, everyone was still quiet.

...

In Las Vegas, at dusk, Ye Wei dragged his suitcase and walked into the lobby of the Caesar Palace Hotel.
Chapter completed!
