Chapter 60

“CUT!”

As Ye Wei shouted, the set instantly transformed into another form, and the puppet-like people started moving again. Since Anna's performance was excellent and the story required her to regain her vitality, Ye Wei was generous with his praise: "Anastasia, you did a great job!"

"Is that so..." Anna still looked pitiful.

"Yes," Ye Wei confirmed, then said to everyone, "No need for another take, let's move on to the next shot."

Just then, Fu Lin, who was in charge of sound recording, suddenly said, "Director, there was noise in the recording of the last take; someone was talking." Ye Wei's expression changed instantly, "What the hell!" How could such a basic mistake happen? Which bastard? Don't they know that professional microphones are as sensitive as if they had taken aphrodisiacs!

Everyone fell silent, and Lily frowned, thinking and confirming it wasn't her.

Ye Wei had no intention of pursuing who made the mistake; getting entangled in such matters would only ruin the team's enthusiasm. But before he could say anything, Fu Lin said helplessly, "It seemed to be Ramon's voice."

Ramon? Damn it, Fu Lin, why did you say that! Ye Wei suppressed his frustration and laughed, "It's nothing, just the audio track is unusable. Anyway, there were no lines in that shot, so we can save the trouble of dubbing later. We just need to re-record the ambient sound." Fu Lin nodded.

Although that was the case, when the answer was revealed, everyone glanced at Ramon, as if they were looking at Osama bin Laden, thinking about what he had destroyed!

Ramon felt a surge of anger. These people were treating her as the least professional person here, but she had spent more time on Hollywood sets than all of them combined! She said lazily, "Yes, I spoke. I said, 'Damn it!' Because your deception was too convincing, OK?"

Lily couldn't help but take a deep breath, almost about to curse. No one liked such an attitude, and Ye Wei didn't either, but what could he do? Ramon-Willis was his boss now!

He shrugged and laughed, "It's really nothing, just another mishap. I think today must be 'Mishap Day' in some country on Earth. Maybe Bella has blood from that country." Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere relaxed. He shouted, "Everyone, next shot!"

Soon, after the camera, lights, and other equipment were set up, they started again.

"Scene 17, Shot 6, Take 1."

"Action."

Lily watched Ye Wei directing seriously, the performances of Anna and Bella, and the set, and her heart was suddenly touched.

She knew Ye Wei couldn't be unangry, but he handled it humorously and maturely. As for her, she was still sulking like a child over Ramon... Suddenly, the anger towards Ramon dissipated, and she let go of the bet that had gone sour.

Regardless of whether Ramon admitted it or what the biased people thought, they were making a film here, and Ye Wei was a director, a professional filmmaker!

That was the best thing, not the win or loss! Lily's face lit up with a smile, her eyes full of the black-haired boy by the camera, her gaze like stars...

"..." At the same time, Ramon's face became increasingly stiff. She already understood that if they weren't filming "The Sting," it would be very professional.

Everything was vastly different from what she had imagined. The equipment was professional, the camera positions were not placed randomly, the lighting was proper, the sound recording could even pick up such a light murmur, and the compositions and shots were beautifully crafted...

She really didn't know if Ye Wei knew some Chinese magic! She suddenly realized she had fallen into a trap, glancing at the smiling British girl, feeling a mix of emotions...

Lose? Ramon's heart skipped a beat. Taking off her shirt was one thing, but embarrassing herself in front of these people? These weirdos!?

Today must not be "Mishap Day," but "God is against Ramon-Willis Day"!

As she became increasingly restless, Ye Wei shouted "CUT" again. This take was NG due to Bella's positioning error. While Ye Wei went to "direct" Bella, she took out her phone and her eyes lit up. She had already been there for 12 minutes and could leave...

"I'm leaving, there's nothing to see, I'm not going to go crazy with you guys."

"Wait!"

Lily called her back, and Ye Wei also ran over: "Ramon, let me take you. I have a favor to ask." He wanted to persuade Ramon on the way, so that after the short film was made, she could show it to Willis.

"Ramon..." Lily didn't mention the bet, only sincerely said, "You should help."

"God, spare me." Ramon covered her forehead, unsure whether to stay or leave, "How can I be sure this isn't the damn 'The Sting'..."

Ye Wei couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "Trust me, setting up such a deception is harder than making a film. It requires not only filmmaking skills but also deception skills! Ramon, you can really trust us. What's the point of setting up such a deception? In the end, it all comes down to the quality of the short film, right?"

"I invited you here today not to get you to invest or anything, but to let you know that this short film called 'Dance of the Angels' is truly produced and directed by me, not by anyone else, but by me! A 15-year-old middle school student."

He confidently raised the corners of his mouth, looked around at everyone, and smiled, "You know I have this ability. When Mr. Willis is skeptical, you can tell him Ye Wei isn't lying."

"Yes," "That's right," Darum, Pete, Harry... the eight college students nodded. Although they didn't understand Ye Wei's plan, it was the truth.

"Ramon, please help him one more time." Lily's tone was sincere.

Ramon's gaze swept around, her ugly expression gradually turning calm. She suddenly sighed, as if conceding, "Lily, I admit, regardless of whether the short film is good or not, the filming level is professional. God knows why these USC students are going crazy with him... But..."

She spread her hands, "I lost."

"What really happened?" Ye Wei had wanted to ask for a long time, looking at Lily, don't overdo it.

"You don't need to know, it's a girl thing." Lily smiled, seriously saying, "Ramon, don't take that stupid bet seriously. We were both a bit hot-headed before. Let's just treat it as a joke and let it go. Help Wei one more time."

"I'm not the type to cheat when I lose..." Ramon also smiled, the frustration in her heart dissipating, really changing her view of Ye Wei and the British girl.

She knew Lily wasn't a fake good person; just look at those thick eyebrows! A fake good person couldn't grow them. And among these children of celebrities, who would pretend to be good in private? No one cared about whether they could become friends, she had never seen it.

"Lily Collins, you're cool. Maybe you don't care about the bet, but I'm the granddaughter of a veteran, and I keep my word."

Before she finished speaking, Ramon strode forward, facing the people in the direction of the camera—

"Hey, you really don't need to...!" Lily exclaimed, her eyes wide, instinctively reaching out to pull her—

"What!?" Ye Wei looked puzzled, what was about to happen! On one hand, he was worried about the situation getting out of control, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but feel excited: Xiao Jian, what did you do that was so great!?

In a flash, Ramon suddenly lifted her shirt, revealing a black tank top, and shouted, "I'm a stupid bitch!"

"Oh!" Everyone was stunned, and the adults like Ye Haogen, Gu Qiao, and Janet were also dumbfounded. How, how... did this happen?

Ramon didn't blush, but Lily's face did. Ramon turned around, facing the shocked Ye Wei, and specifically lifted her shirt again, laughing, "Hey, I'm a stupid bitch!"

"Uh... hello, I'm Wei..." Even though Ye Wei was a clever boy, he couldn't react for a moment. His boss, his princess, telling him she was a bitch... either something good had happened, or the Ramon line in this game was over.

"Ramon-Willis, you're also cool." Lily suddenly laughed, changing her view of Ramon, "You're brave and keep your word. Thank you, my friend!"

Ramon was also laughing, happy despite doing something stupid, "I'll definitely help with that favor! When the short film is done, find me, and the old man will see it that day, I promise."

"Oh my, thank you!!" Ye Wei was pleasantly surprised, almost jumping and shouting in excitement. It was great that Ramon was willing to help so much, it was great!! He looked at Lily, knowing she must have made a lot of effort, even sacrifices. Thank you, Lily!

Noticing this, Lily winked at him and smiled shyly.

"Wow, Willis will see this short film?!" The college students understood, looking at each other, almost too excited to speak. That was Willis! A Hollywood superstar!!

And Lily Collins!? Pareira suddenly remembered, Phil Collins' daughter! Oh... Ye Wei's friends were all quite influential!

"Haha, don't worry, absolutely." Ramon was now not only relaxed but also looking forward to it, "I also want to see what the old man's reaction will be after watching the short film!"

"It will definitely have a good outcome!" Lily was confident.

After calming down, Ye Wei's eyes turned, and he had a new idea. Since they were so happy... let's not stop! He rubbed his hands together and laughed, "Ramon, are you interested in a cameo? Tomorrow at our school theater, a big show!"
