Chapter 65 Stars on Earth(1/2)
At the Caesar Palace Hotel, golden lights enveloped the vast circular lobby as prairie from top to bottom. In the middle is a giant stone statue of Caesar. At this time, there were some shining Christmas trees around, causing tourists to take photos.
Every tourist looked so happy, and the staff were smiling, as if this was the happiest place on the earth.
After Ye Wei came in, because he didn't plan to live here, he didn't go to the front desk, so he just walked around the station and prepared to stay until the time was up.
However, after a while, a security guard in the lobby noticed him and came up and asked, "Sir, can I help you?"
"Oh thank you, I don't need it." Ye Wei smiled at him, "I'm waiting for someone, man, let me be alone."
"Okay." Although the security guard stepped back, he was alert to the suspicious teenager, especially those two suitcases. After 9/11, anyone could be a terrorist.
...
The Anna family in Denver is very lively. Because they are Christian families, this festival is both festive and sacred for them, and is the most important festival of the year.
The family sat on the sofa and watched "How Beautiful Life" is a must-have every year, and their family just won't get tired of watching it. But this year Anna was a little absent-minded, and then muttered again: "Have the crew of "It's all Daisy causing trouble" watched the short film? Should they call Ms. Juen and ask for news?"
"Anna, don't be anxious. When there is news, Ms. Juen will tell us." Janet reached out to caress her daughter's hair.
"Let's watch the movie first." David also smiled, looking at the TV screen, "George and Mary are about to meet."
Anna looked at the clock, "I don't know if it's going to be smooth in Vegas... We'll watch "The Angel Dance" simultaneously later!"
"Of course, sweetheart." "Yes."
...
Waldorf Astoria Hotel, New York.
In the spacious bathroom, the sound of the faucet was rustling. Lily bent her body and immersed her face in the washbasin, allowing those useless tears to go away with the water...
She just wanted everyone to gather for a while, and could sit together and chat, watch TV like a normal family, and watch "How Beautiful Life" and not good? She had to go to a hell bar, and to watch a mentally retarded Christmas tree! Has anyone considered her and gave her a little support... a small wish...
Haha, what are you thinking about! A normal family? A normal family with three marriage combinations!?
They are not family members, none of them are, only mothers are, why should they leave here?
Phil Collins is a bastard, they are all bastards!
What's the use of crying? Will they listen? Will their ideas change? No, no, no...
Tears surged more, Lily's heart twitched a little, her whole body was shaking, and she felt a suffocating feeling. Those memories suddenly surged from the bottom of her heart, and those nightmares suddenly appeared in front of her so clearly.
Daily Mail, Sun, Daily Star, Times…
The overwhelming newspapers and magazines surrounded a little girl who was less than 5 years old. Her face was confused, scared and sad. She looked at media pages, which were displayed on them. She saw how they had a breakup, how they separated, how they sued, how they ended, how they followed their mother to the United States...
Every detail she doesn't want to see, and she will know it if she doesn't want to know. It's so ugly and puzzled her. Why, why?
Why don’t I live with my father in the future, why did I go to the United States, why did my mother cry, and why everything is different!
Is there any way? What can she do to change their decisions? Cry? Beg? Lock herself in the room? Refusing to get on the plane? It's useless, it's useless...
Hahaha, it's ridiculous! Lily raised her head, looked at her wet face in the mirror, and smiled with sobs. You're ridiculous!!
The whole soul was trembling, and she hurriedly groped in her pants pocket, and wanted to talk to someone, Wei... Wei!
However, the pants were empty and the phone was left in the handbag outside. She sighed and grabbed her hair. Even if she called her, what could she say? He was not her mother. He didn't like to listen to her annoying words, her damn family, and what was hell!
"What can I do? How can I get rid of these..." Lily murmured, drinking, smoking, marijuana? She shook her head, not wanting to be that, not wanting to be the kind of celebrity child who falls into the abyss; leaving? Wandering? Don't be stupid, no matter where she goes, she will be found soon...
Suddenly, Lily felt unprecedentedly confused. The world was so big, but it seemed that there was no place for her to be there.
She hates herself, hates all this...
"Silly eyebrows, stupid..." The more I looked, the more I felt that my face in the mirror was disgusting. She suddenly grabbed one of her right eyebrows and pulled it off hard. "Silly eyebrows! You idiot!! You idiot, you stupid donkey, you long-haired monster..."
After a series of curses, her voice gradually became lighter. She covered her mouth and prevented herself from crying. She raised her head and took a deep breath to suppress those emotions back to her heart.
Quick, use what the psychologist said, happy therapy, think about happy things, happy things...
Many scattered scenes flashed in front of her eyes, and soon they were almost all the things that happened in the past two months, his smiling face, his voice, Lily, Jane, Xiao Jian...
It took a while for her to calm down, and those nightmares were locked in the cage in her heart.
"Huh, you are really childish." Lily shook her head with a sigh. He was fighting for his dream in Vegas. You hid in the bathroom and were angry with your family. It was so childish.
Moreover, they don’t know the whole story and have no emotions to watch simultaneously. It’s normal that they don’t have any interest. “How Beautiful Life” is not suitable for this “family”... Let’s go out and apologize to everyone, and then go back to their mother’s side, where they like to go.
Lily washed her face and smoothed the small piece that was pulled out from the middle of her right eyebrow. It didn't look obvious, but she was a little self-deprecating. It was really a bush.
At that moment, Lily walked out of the bathroom and saw the hall laughing and joyful laughter from the corridor. Everyone was sitting on the sofa watching TV, looking happy, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
"Hey, Lily, come here quickly, you're going to miss the beginning!" Qiao Li laughed and patted the seat next to her.
"I haven't watched this movie for many years." Simon on the other end was also laughing, "James Stewart is still so young, haha!" He clapped his hands and laughed proudly for his joke. Everyone laughed, and her bastard father sighed: "Stewart is such a good person. I've seen him a few times before, and he's such a good person."
Nicholas was also very well-behaved and watched with interest, while Orion was also smiling.
"Everyone..." Lily didn't know what to say, "I..."
"Come here!" Qiao Li laughed and shouted again. She became Collins at the age of 3, and her parents divorced again at the age of 8. She is the person here who understands the thoughts of 14-year-old Lily, even better than Lily herself.
This girl wanted everyone to stay for two more hours. "Watching short films simultaneously" was just a reason she gave herself. The real reason was that she wanted to have a normal home... She would watch "How Beautiful Life", would gather together to celebrate the festival, and would not be willing to separate. If not, she would at least look like a little. She got angry because she had no hope.
Not having any bad habits, making bad friends, indulging yourself, not being arrogant, luxury... Lily is already very strong.
"Don't you want to watch it? Now it's broadcasting and dazed, come!" Simon also shouted. How could he not understand his sister's pain when his 4-year-old parents divorced? He suddenly laughed again: "Stuhua is about to leave the town, but he just can't live without it, poor guy."
Lily suddenly laughed and without saying anything, she walked to Qiao Li to sit down, looked at the TV screen, and said with a smile: "I'll make a statement first, I'll broadcast the short film on time at 11 o'clock!"
"Okay, OK!"
"11 o'clock is your friend's short film time, and you must also get out of the way "How Beautiful Life"!"
...
In Las Vegas, night has fallen and the lights are everywhere, and the excitement of this sin city has just begun.
Ye Wei looked at his phone. It was 20:00 in less than ten minutes. He was excited and nervous. He checked the SMS box and call records from time to time, for fear of missing Lamo's text messages or calls. Lamo, Lamo, show up quickly!
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he saw an elevator opening in the distance. Ramo walked out, and he hurriedly walked up, "Hey, Ramo!"
The security guard who had been paying attention also followed, but recognized who the girl was. He was surprised to see the boy following her into the elevator.
There were only two people in the elevator at this time, and they were rising to the top floor where the Presidential Suite was located.
"How is Mr. Willis's mood?" Ye Wei asked. Ramo shrugged: "Of course he is in a good mood to us, but I don't know about you." Ye Wei felt something was wrong and asked again: "Does he know I'm going up now?" Ramo shook his head: "I don't know."
"What...!" He frowned immediately, "How can this work? If he doesn't want to see me, wouldn't he mess up."
Ramo looked at him and said funny: "You really don't know the situation. Laru and Beli are here, and my mother is here too. Whoever of them said casually, don't say whether you can go up or not, you can't even play your short film. The old man pampered his little daughter! I can't handle it, it depends on yourself."
"Ye Wei nodded, continuing to think about what might happen and how to deal with it.
Soon, the two of them left the elevator, and the aisle on the top was still magnificent, and the staff passing by were very light and they were not squinting.
Not long after walking, the two of them arrived at the presidential suite where Willis lived. Ye Wei took a few deep breaths. When he was ready, Ramo rang the doorbell, "It's me, open the door."
After a while, the door opened. The person who opened the door was Willis. The old face wrinkled with nasolabial folds was smiling. However, when he saw the boy next to his daughter, his face immediately changed!
Before Ye Wei could say hello, the screen man was furious and shouted: "Boy, I gave you a chance, but you rejected it. Don't use my daughter anymore! You... damn boy!"
"Mr. Willis..." Ye Wei was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect Willis's reaction to be like this, "I have no malice..."
"Dad, no one uses your daughter." Ramo angrily spread his hands, "He wants to use Lily, Phil Collins' daughter, she is dating him, not me, OK? The reason why I help is that he really thinks his set is very professional, I have watched the short film, which is great."
Willis was so angry that he didn't listen. He almost snatched Ye Wei's suitcase and smashed it into pieces.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Laru, Belly ran over in surprise, and Demi Moore, who came to the party for the sake of his children, also came.
When the two little girls saw clearly that it was the handsome Asian boy, they immediately smiled and said, "It's you again!", "That funny guy! Dad, why do you yell at him?"
"He made me annoyed." Willis said to his daughters, and then said to Ye Wei with anger: "I'll just look at your short video. After watching it, you get out of here immediately."
"Old man, relax!" Lamo could only help.
Everything seemed to be frozen, and only Ye Wei's heart was still beating violently. With Willis's rage, watching the short film was just a formality, and it was impossible to watch it. If there were 10 touches, then there would be only 1 left now.
If you can't use a few words immediately to relieve the big shot, it's impossible to succeed today...
What should I say? Just like a broken knife was about to fall to my neck, Ye Wei was sweating all over his body, and his mind was in an electric shock, and a lot of true feelings came up, and he said seriously:
"Sir, it's Christmas Eve tonight. I should have sat at home and watched TV with my family, but I'm here now. I have a three-year-old sister who asked me what to do in Vegas. I said I was going to work. She asked, "Isn't it not work on Christmas?" I didn't know how to answer her, so I lied to her and said, "I'm here to play."
But I'm not here to play! I'm here to seize one opportunity, yes, another opportunity! I know, you think I'm reckless and stupid, it's most normal to think so, but..."
Willis's anger disappeared slightly...
"I, I, I..." Ye Wei didn't know what to say, and a flash of inspiration flashed and stuttered with nervousness: "I really... need, need this opportunity, opportunity! Mr. Willis, leave his family alone on Christmas Eve, leaves his hometown, and comes to work in a strange place. Believe, believe me...that person must be serious."
"Boy, needless to say, come in." Willis turned around and walked, his tone becoming more calm, "Your short films are better really professional, don't waste our 10 minutes."
Ramer suddenly winked at Ye Wei, the old man was relieved, your mouth is indeed powerful!
Fortunately! Ye Wei breathed a sigh of relief. Although he only had one life left, he finally passed the thrilling mark. I really don’t know if it was Duoduo’s credit or stuttering.
...
At the same time, some rooms in the apartment buildings north of the Nanjia University Park campus were brightly lit, and the laughter of students were hidden.
One of the four-person apartments was also bright, with more than a dozen men and women crowding, and a small party was held. Some of them were international students, and some were preparing to take a movie during the holidays, so they didn't go home to celebrate the festival.
It was almost 8 o'clock, and Darum, one of the hosts, shouted to play a short film, A+ short film, a 15-year-old ninth grader and their works!
To be continued...
