Chapter 22 Rookie Counterattack
After Veterans Day, the whole country returned to its usual rhythm, and Harvard-West Lake Junior High School also returned to its usual liveliness, and the undercurrent of Ye Wei's creation became stronger and stronger.
"Hey, Zhou, do you know what the boss is doing?"
"What?"
"Haha, it seems you don't know yet, but I've joined, cool!"
"What? Tell me quickly, I want to join too. For God's sake, Li Ming, are you going to be anxious to death?"
"I'll take you to the Dream Chasing League Club. Maybe I can see the boss. Simply put, he wants to make a movie! This way...this way..."
"Divine Jesus! My grandpa! Oh my god, this is too strong, genius!! I want to join!!!"
On Wednesday morning, the event time was Lev at the Yoga Club, Bad at the Food Club, Chen Nuo at the Animation Club, Li Ming at the Mathematics Club, and Bab at the Improvisation Comedy Club... The news spread more and more...
Some people kept running towards the custard room, and there were people there for nine hours there today, using an X-time relay method.
It is not that easy to see VIY. Newcomers usually can only see the "Spinx's nose" Lev, "Godzilla" Bard, or "Confucius" Chen Nuo, occasionally "Tesla" Korwin, or "Gumpbro" Bab, who was born like a supernova explosion.
Yes, their reputation has spread together, like the twelve disciples of Jesus, like the twelve playmates of the month in Playboy!
And every brother who joins the game is like joining the Avengers, and everyone is a superhero!
Although no outsiders know about it, they consider themselves the coolest people in the school. They proudly thrust their chests and their faces are full of glory!
One investment after another was registered, and the account books were filled with passion, passion and hope, and they were getting closer and closer to that goal...
On that night, all investors received a text message from Ye Wei: "At tomorrow's event time, the Dream Chasing Alliance Club will hold a meeting to discuss some important matters about major events. Welcome to participate! If you cannot participate, please be sure to go to the custody room within tomorrow. - Ye Wei."
This text message made everyone look forward to it. Of course, I have to participate. This is a VIY military order!
On Thursday, the event time arrived as scheduled, and many people were ready, especially those close to the core team like Li Ming and Babu. When the bell rang, they rushed to their 100-meter sprint, rushing towards their Jerusalem: the first floor of the Academic Center.
Hurry up, hurry up, take a few steps, and you may not be able to squeeze in!
Li Ming and Babu were both lucky. They successfully entered the custard room that was starting to become lively and occupied a seat. The custard room has changed a lot in the past few days, and the larger space has been cleared out. The sofa and TV are placed in the inner side facing the door.
Even so, those who were late could only stand outside the perimeter behind a few rows of seats, and even lined up outside the corridor, looking around with their heads and heads.
Five minutes before the meeting time passed.
"Brothers and friends, please invite our leader - VIY!!"
With Lev's exaggerated and affectionate shouting, the crowded chaotic room was filled with applause and cheers, hundreds of people inside and outside were excited, and a stream of blood gushing out of their bones was burning all over their bodies, shouting: "VIY!VIY!VIY!"
"Thank you, thank you-" Just in front of the sofa, a tall black-haired figure stood up and waved his right hand with a smile.
He was wearing a particularly handsome red jacket today, like a bright ball of flames; the TV screen next to the sofa was also broadcasting a blazing image, and in some nearby corners, Colewin was shooting with a DV camera in hand, and he wanted to record the grand event today throughout the whole process.
The custard room calmed down, and everyone looked at Ye Wei with anticipation, looking forward to what he wanted to say.
"We don't have much time, guys."
Ye Wei scanned their youthful faces, and his heart was filled with passion. Everyone got together to fight for the same goal!
He continued to say the brewing words: "Yesterday, we were still crying children in kindergarten; today, we are called teenagers; tomorrow, we will be college students and social people... Time is like the Flash, and before we can see clearly what it looks like, it passes."
"Look at you." He took a few steps back and forth, and a lot of emotion came out, and he deviated from the speech:
"Among you, who has been called freaks, nerds, fools, losers, idiots, homosexuals, trash... Who has ever liked a girl but didn't dare to go up and confess, but just watched her in the dark and threw herself into someone else's arms; Who has been plucked up the courage to confess, but the girl answered "You go and die"... Who has got an A+ in every subject, the parents are happy, the teachers praise it, everyone says you are a good child, you have fulfilled everyone's expectations of you, but you are unhappy except yourself!"
There was silence in the custard room, and everyone's expressions were changing. Some scratched their heads, some blushed, uneasy, pain and sadness, and a sense of depression and confusion...
Everyone.
"If anyone is touched by what I just said, please respond to me."
"I...", "Brother Wei, I have it." First, two sounds, and quickly became blocks. Everyone responded with choking.
Ye Wei sighed and continued: "We are all the same type of people. We are confused about the future and the present. We want to do something, but we don't know what to do! We can't really play cliff jumping like James Dean, we won't mess like in "American Pi", and we can't be as colorful as in the damn "Leap Beverly". Our lives are terrible! We are stuck between reality and dreams, and we feel uncomfortable!"
Everyone couldn't help but nod. Bud wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. Brother Wei said it was so good!
Their blood was boiling in depression. Yes, we were very uncomfortable and confused, but VIY would give us the answer!
Ye Wei was silent for a while, just glanced at everyone with a sharp gaze, and suddenly said loudly: "I know, many of you are waiting for me to give you an answer, 'BOSS, what should I do?', 'Brother Wei, how can I become a cool and good kid?', 'Save me, I don't want my youth to leave regrets!'... Sorry! I can't give you an answer! Because you are all fools."
What...!? The young faces suddenly changed color, shocked by VIY's last words, and the heart seemed to be stabbed. Lev, Chen Nuo and others were also stunned...
What does Wei mean?
"You are all fools because others tell you 'you are fools', and then you believe that you are fools, and then you really become fools. In the end, you lost your true selves and will always be a group of fools!" Ye Wei said quickly, and his tone became gentle: "Brothers, only you can give the answer to yourself."
So, it turns out that's how it is... Everyone's mood immediately turned sharply, and the passion burst out completely, and his eyes were red!
"I can't give you answers, but I can give you a chance, a chance to find the answer!"
Ye Wei's voice rose again, allowing the people huddled in the corridor outside to hear it clearly. Through the door, they saw him raise his fists and say hard:
"Movie! Our horses are going to make movies! This is the opportunity, it depends on your own. You can choose to turn around and leave this room and continue your previous life. It doesn't matter. I will tear off your name from the account book and throw it into the trash can; you can also choose to stay, do something big, and do something right."
Before he could finish speaking, someone was so excited that he couldn't control himself: "I want to stay!!"
"And I am!!", "I am not a fool, I want to stay!!", "Let the ordinary life die, I want to make a movie!", "I want to invest another thousand yuan!"...
Hundreds of people were all sensational. The people sitting stood up one after another. The people standing waved their fists. No one chose to leave. Even the nerd, who was bullied in his heart and kept silent, opened his eyes widened at this time!
Let’s go to hell. Now, just say a VIY sentence and let them run naked together, and they won’t hesitate!
Be the person you really want to be, this is the answer!
Ye Wei looked at them quietly for a while, and made them yell, then nodded with a smile, OK, great! Some things began to change, whether it was Lev, Bad, Chen Nuo, Korwin... Everyone here must have different life trajectories than they did in their dreams.
"I'm very happy to see that you have made your own choices. With this alone, you are more powerful and cooler than many of your peers!"
His words made everyone scream again, and Lev shouted loudest, and even Colwin said to the DV: "Did you see it? He is a hero."
Ye Wei raised his hand again, and the warehousing room calmed down again. He picked up a thick document on the sofa and said seriously: "This is the new company registration document I got from a film and entertainment lawyer yesterday. I will register a limited partnership in Nedahua State to be responsible for the production matters."
"The reason why Nedahua State was chosen is that there were no state taxes and other taxes were very low. Enterprise owners did not have to live there, nor did they have to set up their actual offices. The speed of establishment was very fast and convenient... This company embodies our youth, hard work and dreams. Everyone here has the right to participate in its naming."
He paused, his eyes shining like silver stars, and asked, "So, the name of our company?"
A name has already floated above the water, this place, this club, there is no doubt...!
"Dream Chasing Alliance!!!" everyone shouted at the same time. Whether it was Lev, Bad, or Li Ming, Babu and other newly joined people, everyone shouted!
"This is also my will, Chase-Dream-League-Films!"
Ye Wei raised the contract document high, and was so excited that he was about to explode. "I believe that our company will shine in the future and shine the whole United States and illuminate the world! It will become a temple in the hearts of countless movie fans, and it will become a legend!!!"
Everyone fell into fanaticism, tears filled their eyes, cheered and fisted. There was no word or action to express their mood at this moment, only the burning of each other's hearts!
After a while, Ye Wei picked up another document on the sofa and said, "This is an investor's sample contract, which clarifies the agreement on profit, responsibility, investment return, audit, dividend, etc. Because I invest the most and invest in technology, I will hold 80% of the shares, general partners; and you are 20%, limited partners.
Apart from the funds invested, you do not need to assume any risks or responsibilities, and you have the right to acquire more shares at a low price in the future, depending on each person's performance.
I make up 80% of the money alone, but I can guarantee you that as long as I have money to make, I will never let you suffer losses. Remember, I will be the last profiter and the first losser! If anyone doesn’t believe me, I can still withdraw now.”
"Brother Wei, I have an objection. I think you should get 90%!" Lev yelled, and everyone nodded, no one left or questioned. If it weren't for VIY, there wouldn't be a Dream Chasing Alliance movie. Besides, the most important thing is not to make money and lose money, it's a big thing for everyone to do together!
"90%, 90%, 90%!" they shouted in unison.
"Thank you for your trust, just 80% and 20%. I can only say that Ye Wei, who has tried his best, will not let you down."
Looking at everyone, Ye Wei was moved, and even a little afraid of the throbbing that disappointed them and a little guilty. Compared to their 100% emotionality, he had a lot of rational considerations that seemed to have defiled this innocence, but as the initiator, operator, and global controller, he had to do so.
Amid the applause of everyone, he continued loudly:
"Before school, you will each get a copy of the investment contract, take it back and read it slowly, find a professional to ask, and then write the investment amount, name, date, etc. on the contract... and there is another key point, that is, the joint signing of the guardian as the responsible person, we all need it unless any of you are 18 years old.
Therefore, everyone should explain it clearly to their parents. They will definitely have many doubts, not necessarily understand, or even strongly oppose it. Remember what I said, don’t lose your temper with them! We must patiently explain why this investment is so important, convince them, communicate, not confront them.
If anyone can’t handle it, you can call me and ask me to tell them. If everything goes well, the posting will be completed before Wednesday next week. After the company is officially established, a regulated third-party escrow account will be opened. You don’t have to worry about my money picking up girls.”
"Haha!" Everyone burst into laughter, and Lev shouted, "Do you have to say stingy words? We believe you!!" Bud also laughed and said, "Brother Wei, we are happy to pick up girls. We must be a hot girl!", "Haha, yes!"...
"Brothers, keep the accounts clear and it doesn't matter whether you trust or not. This is a professional approach." Ye Wei was also laughing, but he was very serious: "This is not a joke. You must know that our current funding amount has reached more than 370,000, so we can buy a big house."
Everyone had no objection to this, VIY said that it would do whatever it was.
"That's all, at the end I want to say, I'm proud of you, you cool guys!"
Ye Wei suddenly laughed and yelled, which ignited everyone's passion. He smiled brightly, as if he had the whole world. Ye Wei looked at his watch and said with a smile: "Now, there are still 10 minutes left before the event time is over, so let's enjoy some good things."
Da! He snapped his fingers, and Lev on the other side walked towards the TV with a chuckle, and changed into a video disc with a vague sign of a rabbit head on it.
When the beautiful image was released on the TV screen, everyone suddenly cheered and excited...
At the same time, it was also bustling outside. The momentum of the custody room at the end of the corridor had long attracted great attention. Those students who were ignorant of the inside looked at this side in confusion when they walked by. What were they doing? What were Ye Wei doing?
Teacher Grace-Assi, who was walking towards the storage room, was also confused. Because according to the responses of teachers in various subjects in recent days, Ye Wei was even less attentive in class, and his homework was not completed for several days. He didn't know what he was busy with all day. He thought that it was affected by his father's investment failure, so she came to the Dream Chasing League Club today to observe and tutor him.
Unexpectedly, I saw such a crowded scene, and it seemed that all his friends and friends had come.
"Boys, what's going on here?" Teacher Aishi was very surprised. When the students saw her, they immediately shouted "Ms. Aishi" in panic...
When she asked everyone to separate the road and came to the door of the custard room, she was even more shocked by the scene inside. What's wrong? What's wrong with them gathering here?!
Everyone turned to look at her and smiled and embarrassedly, while Ye Wei on the sofa was holding a TV remote control, and his smile had a hint of mystery...
The TV set over there is playing "Garfield":
"Don't tell them that I did a good thing, it will affect my image!"
Chapter completed!
