"Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to Anna Sofia, happy birthday--"

In the night, the house where Anna's rented house was brightly lit, and there were joyful singing in the spacious dining room.

On the round dinner table was a three-layer fruit cake with ten candles. The candlelight was shaking, and the table was filled with guests, as well as Toto and Bella, who were drooling at the cake.

Anna stood directly in front of the cake. She was wearing a new white floral dress today, her light golden hair still had a warm light, and her bright smile on her face, looking like a little angel.

Because Anna's family has not made many personal friends in Los Angeles, the only guests today are Ye Wei's family, Taylor Duree, who is also a young actor, and her parents.

"Anna, make a birthday wish!" Janet smiled after singing the Happy Birthday song.

Anna looked at everyone, closed her eyes slightly, held her hands, and made a wish: "I hope my first show can be performed well on the set, I hope I can get a movie role soon, and there is still hope that the date can continue now!" She glanced at Ye Wei and blew out the candle in a few breaths.

"You made three wishes, but the old man only had two ears on his birthday, and the last one he couldn't hear." Ye Wei's helpless look made everyone laugh.

"But he still has a heart, he can feel it." Anna said seriously, making the adults more happy. She and Taylor Duree smiled and responded well!

After making a wish, I started to cut the cake. The happiest ones were Toto and Bella, who each ate a large piece.

Then comes the time for gifts. This country likes to distribute gifts in person. If there is a congratulation film, you should also watch congratulation films, otherwise you will be arrogant and rude.

In the living room of the house, Anna took out the gifts in public. The adults gave children's toys, study equipment, etc. at suitable prices. Taylor Duree gave an exquisite bead bracelet and Duoduo gave a baby doll.

As for Ye Wei's gift, Anna kept it until the end. Her face was full of expectations, and everyone was a little curious. What would it be?

The gift box is not big, and there is a greeting card tied with a gift strap. Anna took out the greeting card and looked at it, and said hilariously: "Happy 10th birthday of Anna Sophia Rob!" Then it was gone, and she couldn't help but look at Ye Wei in disappointment, "It's just that..."

"Anna!" David and Janet both shouted, "It's so rude. Whether you like the gifts or not, you must be amazed that they are great, saying that they like them very much. This is etiquette.

"Haha!" Everyone laughed when they saw Ye Wei: "You've tricked you. I've prepared two greeting cards, and this one!" He took out a rolled piece of paper from his sleeve like magic and unfolded it. It turned out to be a sketch, Anna's smiling face!

"Wow!" Anna shouted in a real slight amazement, "This is great!"

She quickly took it, her big eyes wide open, and she couldn't see it enough. There was a line of pen-shaped He Yu and Ye Wei's Chinese and English signature. She said: "Anna Sofia Rob, now you are just a 10-year-old girl, but in the future, you will be a great actor and a big star."

"It's so good!", "It looks like." Everyone laughed and praised. Taylor Du Lei was about to envy him. Duoduo said coquettishly: "Brother, I want it too!"

This gift was already very happy. The gift box had not been removed yet. When I opened it, I saw that it was a small mirror with exquisite copper handles. There was a "Ah-NaSophia" written with a color-fading marker on the mirror. Although it covered a little space, it seemed to have some deep meaning.

Everyone was curious. Anna was about to ask, and Ye Wei explained: "Ana, I think you will definitely become a well-known child star in the future. What kind of impact and changes will become famous bring to your life? That is something you can't imagine now, and I don't know. I just want to wish you happiness no matter what, no matter what."

"If one day, whether it is success or failure, you feel lost, then look in this mirror, maybe you can find yourself."

David and Janet were both moved by it. Du Lei's parents praised him. Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao smiled and looked at each other. The son was the most considerate and caring person here.

"Thank you..." Anna is still young and can't fully understand his feelings, but she is also moved. She knows that he is considering her and nods: "This is the best gift I have received, both of them!"

Everyone did not feel offended. When it comes to their feelings, no one can compare to Ye Wei this time.

"Cool." Ye Wei laughed. It seemed that Costco really had a lot of good things. If you have time, you have to go and take a look.

...

When December 9 and 10 are also the past, the preparations for "Dance of Angels" have reached 99%!

Darum has sent the prepared filming schedule to every crew member, and they have made an appointment in terms of equipment. On the afternoon of the 11th, a team of people sneaked away from the Nanka Equipment Center. Each of them was pushing a small cart, and each car was loaded with various photography equipment.

On the side of Marklantok Avenue, Ye Wei and a hired small truck were waiting, preparing to transport the equipment home, which was also tomorrow's set.

When he saw the sneaky figures of the eight arhats, his eyes lit up, and he ran up and laughed and shouted: "Brothers, do a good job, be proud of you!"

He first looked at the camera on Darum's cart, Sony HDC-F950, the second generation digital camera just released this year, and the best digital camera on the market now! Combined with HDCAM-SR digital HD tape, it can achieve RGB full bandwidth recording. Lucas used it to complete the shooting of "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith" this year!

"Wow, this is good, 'what you see is what you get', haha!" Ye Wei touched the camera's body and exclaimed: "You know, the Japanese did such a good thing."

After looking at the camera, he continued to look at other things, tripods, gimbals, Stenikons! Various lighting tools, various radio tools, portable TV monitors, intercoms... and some clothespins, small pliers and other gadgets on sets, like what he said, this is professional!

"Wow, 'baby', I miss you so much!"

At this time he picked up a Fresnel lamp, a 1,000-watt soft light, and he held it like a lover, "Cool, guys, this is really cool."

This kid even knows the 500-1000-watt soft light called "BABY". If it weren't for the teacher's teaching, Darlum and others wouldn't understand it, why did he understand it? But they are no longer surprised. I heard that his family made a movie, probably what he learned on the set at that time.

"Yes, you just like it..."

"Hahahaha!" Ye Wei laughed indulgently. With these treasures and this team, he can take all the images he wants within three days!

He picked up another electronic field recorder board, and clattered, slapping, full of expectations!

...

That night, the pre-start party for "Dance of Angels" was held at the "Good Taste Country" restaurant.

Although he saved a lot of money in equipment, dozens of people would attend this time, so Ye Wei naturally could not take them to expensive places such as Michelin restaurants and Hilton hotels. He is the one who pays the bill.

But taking good care of the members' stomachs is too important after all, everyone has zero pay. Not to mention the students, what do those amateur and semi-professional actors want?

On the one hand, of course, it is because of interests and hobbies, and secondly, it is because participating in these performances, which allows them to transcend their ordinary daily life, experience some interesting things, and experience the addiction of filmmakers.

If you are not satisfied? Then you will lose morale.

It was Bud who helped his restaurant, and his restaurant was closed for one day, cleared the venue, and specially hosted the crew of "Angel Dance", with only a cost price.

Ye Wei stipulated that the leading actors could bring their families, the close-up extras could come alone, and the eight arhats could bring one friend to each. In addition, Lev and other members of the Dream Chasing Alliance were present, but they had to pay out of their own pockets. Despite this, the people coming were still crowded with restaurants, which was difficult to turn around, and it was continuous.

At this time, there was a lot of laughter and joy in the restaurant, and everyone laughed and talked in groups of three to know each other and build relationships.

This is a good start. Only by acknowledging that you are a member of the team can you have a higher sense of responsibility and greater enthusiasm for work.

Anna's family is communicating with two middle-aged actors who play Anna's parents. Ye Wei is very satisfied with this. After today, their feelings about the role will inevitably become better.

Toto and Bella came too, running around and eating delicious food. Don’t forget that Bella is also the starring actor. It is also important to make it happy, but you can’t eat bad stomachs!

"Mmmmm..." In the corner of the restaurant, Bud was eating wildly...

"Hi, the weather is really good today." On the other side, Lev mustered up the courage to approach the beautiful college student Susan. Susan responded "Yes", and Lev walked away with a smirk, excited and scared! But this is the beginning of love, isn't it?

Colwin was taking a DV machine and taking pictures around. These images would also be Ye Wei's lobbying materials. Looking at this grand dinner, he did it all.

Chen Nuo, Li Ming and others were talking about something. Even the stupidest nerd was infected by the lively atmosphere and was very excited.

"I just said that Harvard-West Lake students are rich." At the door, Dalum sighed again. The one that will start filming tomorrow is really just a short film for middle school students? Now it is like an independent feature film.

Parela next to him suddenly saw something, "Look over there! What a playboy." Darum looked at the door because he was close enough to see it. He saw Ye Wei welcomed a young middle school girl who had just arrived. His intimate appearance was obviously not an ordinary friend. He said excitedly: "Oh, Anna is here too."

Will Mars hit the Earth?

Ye Wei was very happy that Lily could come because there was a dinner party with her mother. She said she was not sure if she could come, but now she pushed her mother away and came here. He smiled and said, "Thank you for coming, make me look like a big shot."

"I just want to have a meal, that kind of charity dinner can't eat." Lily joked, looking around, her eyes a little nervous because his family was also in the restaurant, and last month, she had a very rude and awkward meeting with them...

Although he is an ordinary alumni and has so many people, but...

Before the two of them could say a few words, Duoduo suddenly ran over and shouted: "Brother, brother!"

"What's wrong?" Ye Wei looked at her, and Lily also looked at the cute little girl. She felt relieved and smiled.

Duoduo said anxiously: "Bad has eaten a lot, and I saw it." Ye Wei asked her to help pay attention to Bader's food condition before.

"Forget it, let him be happy tonight." Ye Wei shrugged and pointed his palm at Lily: "Let me introduce you to you. This is Lily, my alumnus." Lily bent down, stroked her head, and greeted: "Hey, Dorothy, I often hear your brother talk about you."

"It's you! The girl who ran out of our house that day!" Duoduo exclaimed, remembering the incident last month, "You are my brother's girlfriend, right?"

"No..." Ye Wei and Lily both smiled, but seeing that he denied so quickly, she frowned slightly again.

Tonight is not the time to make her trouble. Ye Wei bent over and covered Duoduo's mouth and glared: "Don't talk nonsense, children don't understand, shut up!" Duoduo whined: "Mom, mom..."

Unexpectedly, some people thought it was not big enough, Anna! When she saw it, she jumped over, looked at Lily, and smiled, "Hey, I'm Anna Sophia Rob!"

"Lily Collins." Lily shook hands with her, and couldn't help but look at her, her eyes fluttering.

Anna wrinkled her nose and said seriously: "I just want you to know that Weiye and I are dating."

"Which Wei? Me?" Ye Wei said in surprise and looked at Lily. She smiled strangely. She didn't know if she was angry or funny, but she had a slight bad look towards him, and her words seemed insincere: "I already know that this is his freedom, and I mean, we have nothing to do with it."

"Hey, Dalum, what did you tell me to do?" Ye Wei suddenly looked at Dalum over there, and then walked over: "What? What shot? Here comes."

When he arrived at Darum without looking back, he looked at Lily and the others, but saw them laughing and talking about something like friends, magical...

"Hi bad boy." Dalum and Parela both laughed.

"Tell me, what shots do you ask me?" Ye Wei looked at them in confusion.
