1 Chapter 1. VIY
"Good morning, classmates, the new week has begun. Welcome back to Harvard-West Lake Middle School. This is the Spartan Theatre..."
"Today, the first guest in November, we are very honoured to be invited to the famous The Blues Orchestra 'Louisiana Crocodile Boy' played for us. They used to participate in the soundtrack of the 2000 film "Blues Brothers 2000"..." A
burst of microphones broadcasted sounds, getting closer and closer, like a giant The hammer hits Ye Wei's mind and stirs up thousands of waves. There are also low-pitched conversations and ridicules, such as the background sound of a movie, which are unclear.
"No, I can't die! The debt of the family has not been solved, my mother is still working hard, my sister's tuition is not settled, these need me to take it! And... and I have not fulfilled my father's wishes, have not yet become A real film director, no..."
"I still have so many things to do..."
"I can't die yet!"
Ye Wei felt so uncomfortable that the pain in his chest made him breathe. Consciousness burst into confusion, intermittent...
Suddenly, as if the radio was brought to the end, as the "squeaky" sounds, there seems to be a huge force pulling him back from the darkness. Ye Wei felt that his whole person had recovered his strength in an instant, and did not disable it and shouted out with all his strength: "No!!!!!!" In the
next second, all the sounds disappeared, the darkness receded, and the eyes suddenly turned bright. The picture regained its focus, and Ye Wei saw the scene.
However, when he blinked and looked at everything around him, he could not help but stay.
It's impossible not to stay...
because at this time, there are more than 700 people in this spacious theater, whether they are young and young, or teachers and other faculty members. The audience is silent, everyone is looking at it with surprise. He, the audience is still!
NO? NO-WHAT?
In front of the curtain of the big stage, the old principal Tom Hedenatht is shaking with his right hand holding the microphone. The head of the bald head is almost angry with his hair. The black, wrinkled face makes many lower grade students Frightened!
The old middle school principal, Jenny Hebrecht, is also stunned; let alone the teacher, Grace, Aisi.
She stared at the guy who shouted and stood up, and the helpless voice kept ringing: "It's you, you are! Ye Wei, you are, you are this demon!"
Ye Wei (Vigor -Ivan-Yeah, Weige-Ivan-Ye), male, born on February 19, 1988, the third generation of Chinese immigrants.
This is one of the ninth grade students she is responsible for, very, very "unique" students!
Like all Harvard-West Lake students, he has a superior family living in the affluent Brentwood area of West Los Angeles. His father is a dentist with a private clinic and his mother is a full-time housewife, all modest and courteous. He also has a three-year-old sister who has just seen her back to school festivals a few days ago. She is very cute and has a good education.
But this boy, he is different!
He is the black sheep in a group of white sheep. As an Asian student, he is as smart and talented as the Aries. However, his intelligence is not used in his studies. His grades are always C. When he was forced to work harder, he said bluntly that "passing is fine, no one is perfect."
This kid seems to understand everything, and seems to do nothing, except that football is very good, and there are no other highlights...
that is for learning and business, if it is naughty, miserable, defeated, he is everything. good.
A spoiled child! A teenager with excess energy!
Look at the things that he often makes people laugh and cry. For example, when he was in the seventh grade, he just took the initiative to protest and start a donation activity. He finally forced the school to add a rice cooker in the cafeteria. This is where he plays his own intelligence.
Because of this, Ye Wei is quite famous in the school. The Asian student group is also regarded as the king. He has a nickname "VIY", which is both an acronym for his name and a very old horror film. The title of the film means: the spirit of the devil; the devil!
Fortunately, he does not bully others, nor does he do anything bad. In fact, he has an "oligarch" existence, and there is a lot less bullying in the school.
Asian students have a saying "If you are bullied, look for VIY."
But his previous tricks will not be punished, it is also his sagacity, and now dare to do so on Monday's rally... ...
he wants to be fired?
"Hey, hehe..." The old principal over there was so angry that he couldn't speak, panting, and he was going to have a heart attack.
As the principal of the whole school, he is in charge of more than 1,500 people. Without the teachers, he knows these junior high school ghosts. He only knows that this happened for the first time!
Since the merger of Harvard Boys School and West Lake Girls' School, he has been the first principal of the school for more than ten years, and has hosted countless times in the middle of the middle of the week, the first time this terrible thing happened!
The student handbook states that it is strictly forbidden for students to make any screams and shouts during the rally. Only when they are prompted and approved can they use applause to express their enthusiasm.
The most serious violation of the past is just a whistle... You know, here is Harvard-West Lake, not a broken school without tradition, no discipline, no honor!
Who is that, who is the black sheep! ?
The faculty members have this unanimous anger, and what makes them worry is that sloppyness can be contagious!
"Who is that?", "It seems to be the VIY of the ninth grade. Oh, that's right, it's him!"
Many students are talking in a whisper, and there is an undercurrent of excitement. "I know him! He is the only one, I am his friend!" Doubt: "Oh my God, what do he want to do?" There is also a chuckle: "Is marijuana? Haha, I love him!"
"What are you surprised, forgot, he can do anything more bold, he is a ninth grade at the back-to-school festival in September. Health, just fresh people, children! Actually wrapped around the prom queen wants to dance!"
"Oh? What happened later?"
"The Queen certainly ignored him, but those 11th and 12th grades were angry and needed to be repaired." He, as a result, he gathered dozens of people, almost big things."
"I also remembered, this guy is crazy! Yes, he is still at the school 'annual event' bidding, with 20,000 dollars An out-of-print comic book?"
"Yes, it is him! His family is very rich, the most important thing is to be generous! Many people call him BOSS."
"Quiet, quiet!"
Hednut quickly stopped the audience The commotion, watching the demon student, also recognized Come, although angry, or give him a chance to speak, they can take this to the students education. He asked: "What do you want to say to the classmate who said no? Give him a microphone." The
teacher walked with the microphone.
The focus of the eyes of everyone, Ye Wei looked around and over and over again, the shock of the face, it is difficult to calm down, look at these people, here, here is...
At this time he noticed the red and black school badge on the stage curtain, Harvard - West Lake! Here is the school he once read when he was a teenager, the school theater in the middle school of Harvard-West Lake! ? Hell!
How could he be here, how could it be! ?
What's more, there are people in the whole place looking at him, as if this is his concert, what eyes are, curious, hateful, praise...
" Nothing to say ?" The old principal's bad words Come.
"Hey...hey..." Ye Wei took the microphone from the teacher and pressed the chest in one hand. Of course he was here, Monday today.
Slow, isn't today's Wednesday night? I just wrestled with the gangsters and got a shot in my chest? Is that all a dream? Or is it now in a dream? He is somewhat unclear.
But now is really not the time to think. He remembered the words of the principal that he just heard. Although he still couldn't figure out the situation for the time being, he also seriously answered: "I am Ye Wei. In fact, "Blues Brothers 2000" is not a film of 2000. Although there are 2000 in its title, it was released in 1998. This situation is like "2001: Space Roaming" released in 1968..." The scene
was silent again.
In less than two seconds, it became a big laugh. No matter how fascinated the staff, the students couldn't stop laughing and didn't want to stop.
"Hahaha, man, great!" A white fat man smirked and smiled at not far from Ye Wei's right hand; not far away, a white student with a big nose made a whistling mouth, The hands that are used to indicate the 6 (VI) gesture, as a unique friend, greatly dimmed!
There are also countless Asian students and students of all ethnic groups laughing happily!
Harvard West Lake is a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural private school. About 70% of the students in the school are white, 20% Asian, and 10% of other ethnic groups such as African American and Latino.
Now Ye Wei, not only VIY, but also a hero of everyone, this is a rebellion without cause.
"Quiet, quiet..." The old principal was a little embarrassed. He quickly took a small note from his pocket and looked at it. It is estimated that there was no record. He looked at Hai Bleixiz again. This series of actions provoked everyone's laugh. The sound is louder.
After Hai Briechs saw the resume of the guest in his hand, he nodded helplessly.
The famous school is always a famous school, and the students quickly converge. The principal is the principal. After that, Hednat is very calm. After getting the answer, he candidly said: "Yes, but it is correct. I just said wrong, I am I apologize to the guests and everyone. I am sorry. The
old principal's handling is very demeanor. The hearts of the people are respectful. At the same time, Ye Wei is a violent headache, and his eyes are blurred. Is it really a dream? ?
A shot in the clear... He repeatedly touched the intact chest and couldn't help but mutter: "I am still dead? I am still alive?" The sound resounded through the microphone because of the microphone.
"Ha ha ha!" The theater that just wanted to calm again laughed loudly, and others thought he was humorous.
I didn't expect the old principal to come: "If you don't close your mouth and sit down, it's going to be faster." The
laughter was more joyful, and the applause sounded, even the faculty members smiled, of course still I urge everyone to stop: "Guys, it's enough, it's enough."
"Well, don't laugh, although it corrects my mistake, but his expression is inappropriate and rude. Correct approach Yes, he reported this mistake to his class teacher, and then the teacher told me that after the guest's performance is over, I will make it clear to everyone. So, only get his small punishment."
Ye Wei's return What are you doing with a little punishment? Many students feel valued, and I really want to be punished.
"Next, let us warmly applaud the guests 'Louisiana Crocodile Boy'!"
said Hudnut, and then retreated, and the curtain of the stage finally opened.
The applause of this time was extremely enthusiastic, and the students applauded with great encouragement, as if the guest to be performed was Michael Jackson, but everyone knows that more than half of these applause is given to Ye Wei.
When the orchestra's performance began, only the beautiful blues music was left in the theater, as it was from the old times of the past.
However, Ye Wei, who was just a hero, did not appreciate the mood of music at all. At this moment, his face was pale and his face was cold and sweaty.
In exchange for others, he changed to yesterday's, and after such a big show, he will certainly be proud, but now he does not care about the whispers of the people around him, but he is leaning against the back of the chair, not knowing what to do. No one cares.
He couldn't figure out what was going on. The old principal had just sneaked a pass and asked him to play a small shackle. The result was a long, long dream.
And this dream is so terrible, magical, natural, real...
everything has to start from the background of the dream. When the anti-Japanese war ended, the grandfather who was a soldier refused to fight civil war, he immigrated to the United States, his father. Ye Haogen was born shortly after.
Father is a person who loves movies. He wanted to be a filmmaker, but he became a dentist because of the prevention of his father. Until the middle age, the college loan and mortgage were all over, and a private clinic was opened. With some savings, his movie dream began to rekindle.
Then, a small producer named Kevin Thomas appeared with a script, "Wedding is Coming."
"We are getting married" will be released at the three cinemas in Los Angeles on Friday, and then...
is the real beginning of his dream.
nightmare! In the dream, the film is finally defeated!
This independent comedy film, which was trusted by his father to make a movie dream and made huge investments, was almost painted at the zero-box office. The word-of-mouth was still extremely bad, because it was indeed a big bad film.
The dream was shattered and the investment was lost. The father in the dream was so angry that he was so angry that he was far away from the rescue after a few days.
Not only did the family lose their loved ones, but they also lost their economic backbone, which made an otherwise happy family into the abyss of darkness.
In order to repay the huge debts that Dad owed to banks and credit companies, the dream mother could only sell the house and pay back the money. He and his sister moved to a small house in the Yinhu District to rent, and he also transferred to the public high school.
Since then, my mother has set off all the difficulties. She has to continue to pay her debts, and she must continue to give her children a good environment for growth. She has lost her food. She worked hard and squandered a lot of hardships. By the time she was a senior, she had already worked hard. I have been
thinking about the bad guys who have been screaming and picking up girls and spending money all the time, suddenly losing their father, and having to spend a cent of a dollar as a hard day, which has dealt a huge blow to him. The following year, he gradually became silent and introverted, as if he lived in the ashes of the world, once suffering from depression.
Fortunately, he still cheered up, it was because of his father's legacy.
During the melancholy period of his dreams, he basically did nothing, shut himself in the room, watching movies around the clock, in order to escape the reality, in order to find the answer.
Finally he found it. He understood his father's dream and understood why a good dentist didn't have to invest in a movie because he fell in love with this magic.
A few years later, he became a student of the NFL Film and Television Art College, the No. 1 film audience in the United States, and attended the "Video Production" major.
In the four years of my dream university, although I worked hard, I can only get the academic achievement in the middle and upper grades. This is inseparable from the fact that he has to put a lot of energy into several part-time jobs, and he has to be a waiter at McDonald's. Going to the Jim Pizza Shop for takeaway... In this case, it's hard to get A+.
Moreover, it is necessary to take a short film to learn a movie, to burn money when filming a short film, and to follow the "People's Filmmaking Law", and to be controlled everywhere, it is difficult to achieve the effect of burning thousands and tens of thousands of pieces of film.
Every time he was trapped by money, he knew how bad he was at the beginning!
On one night, he left the student apartment as usual, went out to work part-time to make money, but met a gun robbery on the road.
Three gangsters robbed four Chinese students. At that time, the situation was in jeopardy. Two boys were shot dead and two girls were about to be taken to the car by the gangsters!
I couldn't wait for the police to come. I couldn't sit back and look at it in the dark for a long time. I didn't know where the courage came. He seized a chance to shoot, rushed out, grabbed a gangster's pistol, and shot them, but He was also seriously injured in the chest. The
huge pain drowned him, making him unable to breathe, difficult to talk, what he tried to say, exhausted his strength...
and then...
woke up.
"What a hell!" Ye Weixin has a lingering fear, how can there be such a real dream, or ...
those dreams are the next future?
Shocked by this idea, Ye Wei took out the phone in his pocket and saw the date clearly: November 3, 2003, Monday, 9:42 AM.
He is still 15 years old, not the dream of 23 years old at the beginning of 2011.
He frowned and dialed a number, ignoring the curiosity of the people around him. When he was connected, he hurriedly asked, "Dad, is that you? Are you okay?" The
mobile phone heard his father's doubts: "Only What's wrong, you are gathering on Monday, I heard music, what are you doing? I am fine, what can I do, I am going to pick up a tooth for a customer."
Hastily talked a few words, Determining that Dad is safe, Ye Weicai is willing to hang up and make a long breath.
Is this dream true? He can't be sure, and he can't go to talk to his father or anyone, "I made a terrible dream." What a joke, they either think he is crazy, or he thinks he is planning another wolf. The prank.
Besides, the money has already been spent, and it became the immediate release of "Wedding is coming". Now it is too late to ask Dad not to invest.
But after a while, after a strange dream, he did change a lot. Matured a lot, and in his current professional perspective, "Wedding is coming" is really a bad film.
Ye Wei's full of doubts, and constantly thinking, whether rational or emotional, tells him that those dreams are the future, but the future can be changed!
"Anyway, I have to stop my father died occurrence of this tragedy, we must try to restore, redress loss on this investment. Came home from school today, I gotta have a talk with the father."
Ye Wei The face became firm and the blues music was ringing in the ear.
