In the warm morning sunlight, the Hummer steadily moved forward on the highway, and the other vehicles passing by probably had no idea that the driver was a screen superstar.
Luxury cars are luxury cars; although Ye Wei was sitting on a folding chair, it was still very comfortable, making him dream of one day being able to drive such a good car.
"So, you're the grandson of a veteran?" As the car just got on the highway, Larou asked Ye Wei a question with great interest. She was the granddaughter of a veteran.
Speaking of his grandfather, Ye Wei became a bit serious and nodded, saying, "Yes, my grandfather was a Chinese soldier who participated in the Battle of Tai'erzhuang and received the Third-Class Baoding Medal."
Actually, apart from him, none of the Wilises knew what the Battle of Tai'erzhuang was, nor did they know that the Baoding Medal was the third-highest military honor in China at the time, representing the glory of defending the country against foreign aggression, and telling the story of a time filled with blood and loyalty.
These were not lies; the medal hung on the wall of Ye Wei's room. However, the reason he answered this way was not to say how great his grandfather was, but to clarify his grandfather's political affiliation. He had no opinion on the choices of history, but who knew what the Wilises thought.
After all, the Korean War and the Vietnam War happened later. To be honest, although he grew up in America, he inherited his grandfather's passion from a young age, believing that only China was worth his life to defend. Especially after a few trips to China as a child, when he talked about how the Chinese army taught MacArthur a lesson during the Korean War, he got excited and for a while, he wished he could tell everyone, "Old soldiers never die, they just get their butts kicked by the Chinese."
But these thoughts could not be revealed at all now; Wilis's father was a U.S. soldier!
However, from the rearview mirror, he saw that Wilis showed no change in expression, still wearing his signature smile, clearly not caring about what he said.
It was not a good feeling to have one's pride and glory considered worthless by others, but Ye Wei knew he shouldn't continue this topic. If the conversation was led by the Misses Wilis, nothing would be accomplished. He wanted Wilis to remember him as a young filmmaker, not as the grandson of a soldier or the son of a dentist!
"Did he kill anyone?" Larou continued to ask, quite interested. On the other side, Bery made a disgusted sound, "I hate killing."
"He killed a lot of Japs," Ye Wei answered seriously. "During World War II, they invaded China, so they deserved it. If I talk to my Japanese friends about World War II, I tell them the same thing. If they understand, we have no problem; if they are stupid, I tell them directly, you are still Japs."
He couldn't continue; revealing his political stance would be of no benefit. This should have been a taboo topic!
There were less than 7 minutes left! Ye Wei really hoped Lamou could help him out of this mess, but Lamou was just filing her nails, showing no interest in talking.
He had to save himself. Seizing an idea, he said, "War is terrible; war can distort people, whether they are invaders or defenders, they will all end up scarred. Mr. Wilis, like in 'Hart's War,' the profound line you said, 'In war, we are all losers.'"
This should be a good response, at least Wilis knew he not only remembered the movie's name but had actually watched it.
"Uh-huh," Wilis responded, but showed no particular reaction, seemingly focused on driving.
Ye Wei thought for a moment. 'Hart's War' had poor box office performance, with a $70 million budget and only $30 million in global box office, and the film critics' reviews were just barely passing. It was best not to continue.
He knew Lamou wouldn't help at all, so he forcibly changed the topic: "Stories like 'Little Miss Sunshine' are much more relaxed. This script is a legend; Focus Features revised it for years, got tired of it, and sold it to me. The script was already very good, and I got a good deal."
"Hehe," Wilis smiled, turning the steering wheel and driving onto the highway.
Ye Wei finally realized that the folding chair wasn't as comfortable as he thought. Time was ticking away, and he couldn't showcase his abilities, and he was in a difficult position because it was clear that Wilis didn't want to talk about 'Little Miss Sunshine' anymore. If he continued, he would only annoy the big shot.
Damn Lamou, with her long face! If she had joined in the conversation, it would have been different. Because it was her daughter talking, Wilis's impression would have been completely different...
"Ye, you seem to know a lot about movies," Larou suddenly said.
Thank you! Lovely Larou! Forgive your previous rudeness! Ye Wei shouted in his heart. Her words were a great help to him.
He immediately smiled and said, "I can't be modest about this. Ha, my dad is a movie buff, so I was deeply influenced and grew up with movies. You know, I started shooting short films with Super 8 when I was 10, and I bought a lot of film textbooks to study. I even went to USC to audit classes and often attended lectures at UCLA. This is called one hand at Troy and the other at the Bears, ha!"
This time, it was half a lie and half the truth, but he did have the skills.
"Really?" Lamou spoke, but with a lazy and skeptical tone, "What about those short films? Didn't you bring them?"
"I came in a hurry and didn't bring them..." Ye Wei smiled, breaking out in a cold sweat. Her skepticism was justified; if he wanted to prove he knew movies, he should have brought his short films, but he didn't bring any footage.
Needless to say, his image as a young filmmaker was on the verge of becoming a "young braggart," which was not a good thing...
What to do, what to do... His peripheral vision scanned the surroundings; the car was moving quickly, and the scenery outside the windows was constantly receding.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to him, and he quickly said, "Let's say we are in a movie scene right now, how would we shoot it? I would use five shots!"
With some interest in Larou and Bery's eyes, he almost spoke without thinking: "First, a medium shot of the car moving forward, with deep focus, through the windshield, clearly showing all five of us; second, a medium close-up of the car moving forward, with shallow focus, focusing on Mr. Wilis; third, an insert shot of Mr. Wilis pressing the radio, and cheerful music starts playing; fourth, a wide shot of the car speeding down the highway, with the music playing and my voice-over from the beginning; fifth, a long shot with deep focus, showing our car arriving at the destination, slowing down to a stop, my voice-over finishing, and the music fading out."
He smiled and added, "Also, all the shots must not cross the line!"
"Wow." Larou was a bit stunned, understanding only half of it, but knowing he really knew his stuff.
Lamou couldn't help but frown. So, he used these small talents to charm Lily Collins?
"Nice shot," Wilis also smiled and said.
Ye Wei felt like he had hit the jackpot, his smile growing wider, and he thanked him repeatedly. This was just a routine car scene, nothing special, but his image had improved a lot...
"What is crossing the line?" Bery suddenly asked.
"Uh..." Ye Wei paused. Crossing the line is a cinematography term, where improper camera placement and editing break the 180-degree rule, causing a continuity error and confusing the audience.
It's hard to explain this with just words... If I have to...
The image is two-dimensional, and the audience relies on the camera position and depth of field to understand the spatial orientation. Once the line is crossed, the orientation is lost, and the audience's gaze is split. For example, in the previous shot, the actor exits the frame from the right side; in the next shot, he must enter from the left side. If he enters from the right, it would seem like he turned around and went back, not moving forward, even if he actually did.
So, no matter how the camera moves, the 180-degree rule must not be broken, or there will be a lot of low-level errors, like two actors talking back-to-back.
But this complex concept is hard for a 9-year-old girl who hasn't studied cinematography to understand. He needed to explain it in a simple and interesting way to make her understand and win her father's favor.
Without time to think, he quickly came up with a witty explanation: "Crossing the line is when the crew is drunk, especially the script supervisor, who is drunk and confused."
Wilis maintained his smile, and Bery immediately had a new question: "What is a script supervisor?"
A script supervisor is a person who records various details on set to ensure continuity and prevent errors. For example, a typical continuity error is when a character's left eye is injured in one scene, but in the next scene, it's the right eye. This is the script supervisor's fault, and they are responsible for it.
But Ye Wei couldn't explain it this way. Cold sweat turned to hot sweat, and he smiled, "A script supervisor is like a creditor. You forget how much you owe, but they remember and keep reminding you. If they forget, their money is gone."
Bery didn't understand this humor, but the other three did. If the script supervisor makes such a low-level mistake, they should be fined.
Larou laughed, and Lamou showed a reluctant smile. Wilis laughed heartily, "A fitting description, young man, you know a lot about movies."
Yes, Sheriff!! Ye Wei excitedly clutched the briefcase in his chest. With this praise, the goal was basically achieved! Now, the big shot had this impression: "This kid knows a bit about movies! He has an interesting script!" He smiled, "Mr. Wilis, as I said before, I love movies."
Since the goal was achieved, he wouldn't be unwise to continue talking about movies. Haste makes waste. This was enough for now. What about the three princesses?
So, he didn't actively maintain the topic but prepared to respond. There were about 3 minutes left. Come on, princesses, ask what you want to ask!
Sure enough, as soon as he stopped talking, Larou asked curiously, "Ye, are you and Lily Collins dating?"
Ye Wei blinked and said honestly, "No, we are just friends, but we are on a date."
"Wow, you're on a date? She didn't tell me that." Lamou's tone was teasing, "She said you were just classmates." Larou pouted, "I want to go on a date too, but since you're dating Collins, I won't ask you." Wilis just smiled, not joining the young people's conversation.
You're not my type, little girl. Ye Wei thought, while answering Lamou, "We've only been on a couple of dates, nothing is set yet."
"Lily Collins?" Bery suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, "Is she the one with the thick eyebrows? Her dad is a British rock star!"
"Her dad is much better at music than our old man. Old man, how many albums did your band sell?" Lamou teased and mocked her father.
"I don't remember, ha-ha." Wilis laughed, "But my movies have made more money than Phil. Girls, the world is like this; some sing, some act."
Bery kept asking, "Her eyebrows are thick, right?"
"Yes, but I think thick eyebrows are as beautiful as thin ones." Ye Wei's answer didn't offend either side.
"But they are too thick, it's strange..." Bery frowned, "If I were her, I would pluck some of them."
The last three minutes, Ye Wei spent talking about Lily Collins's eyebrows with the three princesses, which was much easier to handle, and Wilis didn't speak again.
Soon, Ye Wei got out of the car on the side of the highway, watching the Hummer drive away. He stood there for a while, then suddenly jumped up, waving his clenched fist, and shouted to the sky, "Well done! You're a genius!! You're a genius!!!"
He had felt heartache, frustration, and felt low and humble... but what did it matter? He did it! Perfectly achieved his goal!! King of the world? No, I'm the king of the universe!!!
"Ha-ha-ha—" He laughed excitedly, kicking a soccer ball on the sidewalk, dribbling past the defenders, and suddenly shot a goal!
The goalkeeper jumped high, but...
The ball went in!!!
