Chapter 69 New Hope

In the luxurious presidential suite, the hall was noisy, and Miss Willis and others were arguing about where to go on Christmas Eve. Demi Moore said a few words from time to time, mostly to help her little daughter Belle.

On the wine table, an ancient Roman-style wine cabinet is filled with various fine wines. Under the light, the bottles appear to be full of brilliance.

Willis took a bottle of Gallow wine from it and asked, "Boy, are you drinking?"

Ye Wei followed behind, and heard this and thoughts were heard. Whether YES or NO was not determined by his situation, but by the preferences of the big man. Looking at the spoiled princesses, the answer was already very obvious. Besides, no descendants of veterans don’t drink alcohol, even a teenager.

"Yes, my family doesn't have the law to drink at the age of 21. My grandfather even gave me white wine when I was three or four years old."

"Haha! So is my old man." The answer was correct. Willis happily took two wine glasses and poured two full glasses, one for himself and one for Ye Wei.

The big man raised his wine glass and smiled and said, "To your short video!"

"Thank you!" Ye Wei also smiled and raised his wine glass, took a small sip, and the sweet wine slid down his throat and fell into his stomach, feeling warm.

Although this is not his first time drinking, his grandfather is actually a strict person. He is not allowed to drink too early for his body. But if they see this scene, they will probably call themselves a failed and dereliction of duty again.

But this glass of wine is what he deserves! It is a glass of wine that he got after a lot of hard work, caution and hard work!

At this moment, he said seriously: "Sir, our phone call last time was not very pleasant. I can fully understand your mood at that time. Who am I? A boy under 16 years old wants to make a feature film and invite you to star in it. That must be crazy."

Willis sat on a high stool beside the wine table, drinking slowly while listening with a smile.

"But I know who I am. I have been studying movies since I was a child. My family has invested in producing a comedy. I learned a lot during the entire process of preparation, shooting and post-production..."

Ye Wei brought out the old rhetoric again, his voice was quick and clear, and he didn't stutter at all. He said it for about 3 minutes, but did not say a little about how the two companies should allocate their equity if they cooperated, and what special terms did they have. He only said that he could be competent for the producer and director of the feature film.

At the end, he opened a suitcase beside him and took out several stacks of documentary materials. "Here are all the preparations for "Dance of Angels". This is the script, the storyboard, and the production table... I made it myself."

Willis glanced a few times, and suddenly couldn't take his eyes away, and was surprised!

Since he opened a company, he has been involved in some production affairs and has also named a planning name for "Crocodile Hunter". He has also written scripts and has seen the storyline... When he saw it, he knew how professional these copywriting was, just like that short film.

What surprised him the most were the storyboards. When Ye Wei flipped the animation paper casually, he saw that each of them was so fine, like a comic, and they were all accurately shot in the short film. This undoubtedly said: it was not accidental to shoot the short film, but to make all preparations from the beginning.

"I drew all of this by myself, and no one else added a stroke." Ye Wei noticed the change in the expression of the big man and immediately implemented a lobbying plan: draw!

He put the documents at the wine table, took out a pencil and a piece of white paper from his suitcase, and sketched it, drawing the image of Willis sitting and drinking now.

"Sir, don't worry about my work and keep talking."

"Oh..." Willis was even more surprised, watching the pencil flying, quickly outlining some lines on the white paper, and his outline came out...

"I have learned to draw since I was a child." Ye Wei said, his hands did not pause for a second, the clearer the drawing, the better!

He had already thrown out his image, "a genius boy who understands movies", just depends on whether the big guys can buy it.

"Why are you so anxious?" Willis took a sip of wine and looked at the painting, and then looked at him. "At your age, going to school is the most important thing."

"My studies are fine." Ye Wei explained while drawing, how to get an A in subject, he could skip the grade and received the genius treatment from the school.

"I took a lot of days off this month for the production of "Angel Dance", but my studies are still good. Sir, you can see how Harvard West Lake supports me in filming. If my studies are not up to standard, they won't let me shoot in the school theater. They also participated in guest appearances!

If you shoot a feature film, we can put the shooting period until summer vacation. Or I can take a break from school to cooperate with your schedule. I can even complete the study of that school year first! There is no problem at all."

Willis frowned slightly, wondering what he was thinking, and asked again: "What about the preparations?"

When making movies, the most time-consuming thing is not filming on set, not post-production, but pre-production. The more Hollywood, the more this is. Even if you save a lot of tedious meetings and follow the independent production process, projects like "The Little Sunshine Beauty" that are just scripts will have to be prepared for at least a year and a half.

Ye Wei had already thought about this and answered it fluently: "I will find one or two executive producers to do some specific matters. I will supervise and prepare while going to school. I think time is really not a problem, the key is trust. Mr. Willis, choosing me requires extremely high courage and trust."

Willis turned his wine glass, as if thinking, as if feeling emotion: "There are always young geniuses in the film industry, one after another, and I have seen many of them, like Shamalan. But there has never been one that is as young as you..."

Ye Wei could hear that the big man’s words were not praise, but hesitation: Your age is really unrest.

Yes, 16 years old is an awkward age, not old enough, nor young enough. If it is 26 years old, or 6 years old, Willis might have already slapped his thigh and said, "I'll join!"

26 is a normal age for a young genius to shoot films, while 6 is very abnormal. No matter how good or bad the film is, both will not become the target of being ridiculed. 16 is embarrassing.

He thought about it and immediately said, "Sir, please think about it. If another 26-year-old young man asked you to talk about the "Sunny Little Beauty" project and showed you "Angel Dance", would you feel the same trust in him as in Shamalan?"

"Um..." Willis sipped, his voice softened: "Maybe, but you are not 26 years old, and isn't the story of "The Little Sunshine Beauty" too mature for you?"

"I don't think so, sir, you probably don't know that my family failed to invest in a movie and encountered many difficulties. It was a story of "The Little Sunshine Beauty"! This changed a lot and understood a lot, so I have enough understanding of the emotions and meaning of this story. I can direct it well for my family, success and failure."

Ye Wei's tone was firm and confident, "I also love this story, I am full of passion for it."

"What movies in your family failed?" Willis asked.

"A wedding comedy called "The Wedding Day is Coming." Ye Wei's heart sounded, because if the negotiations could continue, Willis would always know the existence of "The Wedding Day is Coming". Instead of knowing it in another way, it would be better for him to tell it, so he said it now, but this topic must be downplayed. The genius boy should not let a garbage producer deceive his family.

"Its box office is not very good, we didn't catch up with the trend, the producer and director are mediocre, and there are problems with the editing, so I plan to re-edit it."

Willis seemed to have figured out something, "Is this why you are anxious?"

Ye Wei nodded, and his eyes flashed with sharp light. "One of the reasons, the most important thing is that I cannot let my youth down, I have to do something that is worthy of my ability."

"Big thing...big thing..." Willis took another sip of wine, as if he nodded: "Young people are just motivated."

At this time, the three girls over there had already finished arguing. Seeing that the time was almost the same, Laru shouted: "Dad, are you okay? We are going out to play!" Belly was also shouting: "Dad!!"

It was already 7 minutes. Willis answered his daughters, looked at Ye Wei, suddenly smiled, and asked, "Young man, why are you targeting me? Not Stallone, not Schwarzenegger, but Willis?"

"Sir, I've actually told the answer a long time ago." Ye Wei smiled and said earnestly: "Because you are willing to give young people a chance!"

After saying that, the pencil in his hand also stopped, spread out the drawing paper, and a clear sketch: Willis sat on a high stool and drank leisurely.

"Haha..." Willis couldn't help laughing after seeing it, his nasolabial folds were smiling deeply, "Boy, you are always so thoughtful. I don't know if you can be competent for feature films, but you are such a great lobbyist."

Ye Wei couldn't listen to the big shots, just smiled and asked: "Can I leave these copywriting materials? Sir, you can take a look when you have time and interest."

All the files have been copied and backed up, and this box is full of original manuscripts.

"Okay." Willis nodded, drank the remaining wine in the wine glass in one sip, and said seriously: "I still don't understand the situation about this, and I still have to think about it. But I have to say that your short film, your sincerity and efforts are all very good. At least I don't think your plan is completely absurd. It is possible that it may happen."

This sentence was possible, which made Ye Wei's eyes wide in surprise, almost shouted out, and quickly picked up the wine glass to drink and suppress the pressure... But he couldn't hold it down anyway, it was possible!

Willis said it is possible, from furious to possible! It is possible to cooperate and act! This matter may be successful!!

The light of success seemed to have shined on him, making every pore in his body feel so joyful and so happy!

"Sir, you are the incredible person, you are!"

"Haha, I'll think about it, but not this Christmas holiday, you know that it's best not to work on Christmas." Willis said with a smile, putting down his empty wine glass and going to the family.

"Yes, of course, of course!" Ye Wei nodded repeatedly. He thought he should leave with tactfulness. It is possible to get this sentence, and there is no need to bother with the elevator time. If you bother with the big guys, you will not be able to save the fruits of victory.

He smiled and said, "Sir, don't worry, think about it slowly. If you have any questions or ideas, you can call me any time, 7X24 hours, anytime! Now I won't bother you anymore, Merry Christmas!"

He quickly packed the copywriting into his suitcase, including the sketch. After he got it, he nodded to Willis' daughters and ex-wife, said a few blessings, and then left with only one suitcase.

"By bye, remember to ask Anna if she sells Bella!" Beli's shout came from behind.

"See you back." Ramo helped him open the door. Laru, who was not far away, was very angry and ignored him.

After walking out of the presidential suite, he kept entering the elevator and pressed the first floor, Ye Weicai breathed a sigh of relief. In less than half an hour, he felt like he had experienced a world war!

Victory! Light won again!!

His heart gradually became immersed in joy and excitement, and his whole body trembled. Although it had not been successful in the end, wasn't this Christmas Eve perfect enough?

"Hahaha!" No matter what other people came in the elevator, he suddenly burst into laughter and kept saying to others: "Merry Christmas, ladies and gentlemen, Merry Christmas!!"

"Merry Christmas." Everyone responded politely, although they were smiling, they muttered in their hearts. Is the boy blushing and drunk with alcohol?

"Come on, stop crying, everything will be fine..." Ye Wei sang a song happily, as if Taishan's mother was holding Taishan and took out her cell phone and sent a text message to her family, Lily and other friends:
Chapter completed!
