The Best Director

Wife, wife cake (Wife-Cake)! ?

Joshua, Jessica, and Rachel were all stunned, Wang Yang nodded innocently, and they immediately said "Oh" in unison. Jessica had a weird face, and unnaturally pulled her hair; Rachel smiled playfully; Joshua, the instigator, frowned, and then laughed hahaha, amusedly said: "Dude, are you Are you kidding me? Wife Cake? Haha, this must be a random name you picked up!"

This kid, it's not like you have to ask! Wang Yang murmured in his heart, but after saying it, he felt that there was nothing to be embarrassed about, isn't it just the name of a cake? Then he smiled calmly and said: "No, this is not a joke. That kind of cake is called wife cake, isn't that a fun name?"

At this time, Zachary Levi, who was still tidying up in the kitchen, looked at this side and asked curiously: "There is also a cake called wife cake? It's interesting, does the name mean anything? Why is it called this?"

Wang Yang shrugged, shook his head and said: "I don't know, there should be some legends and allusions, but I don't understand." Then, he shared his knowledge of "wife cake": "This kind of cake is a kind of wedding cake. Just like wedding candies and chocolates, when the newlyweds get married, they will distribute them to relatives and friends." Seeing Jessica looking around unnaturally, he wondered if he had talked too much...

"Wedding cake? Is it for my wife?" Zachary in the kitchen asked suspiciously, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and asked with a smile, "Hey, do you have husband cake?"

A cake for my wife? ! Joshua's heart skipped a beat. This time it was his turn to have a bad expectation. He turned his head to look at his elder sister Jessica, and saw that she was staring at the ceiling with a careless expression, but she grew up with her The older Joshua was still keenly aware of the slightly raised corners of her mouth, she was covering up, she must be very happy now!

In fact, Jessica is not only very happy now, but also her heart is beating wildly, and she can't help but think wildly, wife cake? Why did Yang choose to give her this kind of cake as a birthday present back then? Is there any special meaning... At this time, those memories that she had deliberately avoided but never forgotten flooded out like a flood.

It was also April, her birthday. That day, like today, she picked out a beautiful new dress, a white dress, and asked her mother to help her dress up before going to school, and then came to school full of expectations. She had mentioned it to Wang Yang before. For her birthday, she wants to receive a present.

Only Wang Yang in the class knew that it was her birthday. Although she was wearing new clothes, no one paid attention to her. She sat in her seat, anxiously waiting for Wang Yang's arrival, and then Wang Yang appeared.

She suddenly remembered very clearly, and even Wang Yang's expression and demeanor at that time emerged clearly. He was holding a bag of things in his hand, shook her with a smile, and made a "clang clang clang clang" sound, then took out a cardboard box and opened it. There were many cakes in the box, and he said with a smile: "Jie Sika, this is my birthday present to you. I made these cakes just for you! How are you doing, are you excited?"

She was really excited, it was the first birthday gift she received from a classmate, and she made it by herself! She nodded excitedly and happily, said "thank you", then Wang Yang said "try one", so she picked up one and took a bite, the taste was very sweet and soft, she smiled and said: "very good eat."

Wang Yang propped his head on the table with one hand, looked at her with a smile, and said airily: "Of course it's delicious, I made it! If you think it's delicious, eat more. It's the first time I've made it myself." Gifts for others." He said, picked up a cake and ate it, and then said with a smile: "This kind of cake is originally called wife cake, but I made them, so I have the right to name them, so they are Call it 'Jessica Pie'."

"Wife cake?" Jessica asked in a low voice,

Her face was flushed with shyness, and her mood at that time was a little more shy and unconfident than now.

Then, Wang Yang said seriously: "Yes, it was originally called wife cake, and it was given to my wife. I want you to be my wife, okay?" Jessica stared at him blankly. , speechless. He laughed again: "Look at you, Jessica, like a statue! Well, this is not a confession, it's just a joke, haha!"

"Oh." Jessica breathed a sigh of relief, but also a little disappointed.

"Why, do you want to be my wife?" Wang Yang could see her disappointment, spread his hands and said, "Please, we are too young to fall in love. In "Paradise Cinema", Duo Duo is the same age as Elena , They were opposed by their families when they fell in love, so we can't mess around. We are good friends, aren't we?" He smiled again and said, "If you want to be my girlfriend, when we grow up, we will be my girlfriend." Besides the director and actors, there will definitely be no one against us by then."

Jessica shook her head shyly, "I didn't."

"That's good." Wang Yang booed suddenly, and said quietly: "By the way, have you done all the weather observation homework in science class this week? Let me copy it." She frowned and hesitated , he hurriedly hissed: "Shh! Don't let other people know, or I will be miserable. Jessica, I know it's wrong to do this, but it's just a weather observation, oh, sunny or rainy, what temperature? Come on Well, I've been preparing to make cakes for you this week, how can I have time to record it? Hurry up, hurry up!"

So, Jessica gave Wang Yang the science homework book with both emotion and fear.

Later, she always remembered what Wang Yang said about "after growing up". When she was about to move to Los Angeles, she left a farewell letter to express her love, and agreed to work hard to become directors and actors. goodbye thing.

She didn't know if Wang Yang still remembered what he said back then, maybe those words were just a joke, but those wife cakes were really sweet!

Those memories just flashed through her mind very quickly, Jessica tried to calm her voice and said: "Wow, wife cake, very interesting name. Well, I will try to learn..."

Joshua knew that he had messed up this time, so he coughed quickly, interrupting the weird atmosphere: "Oh, so that's the name. Alright, alright, let's watch TV!" He went to the sofa and picked up the The TV remote control, frantically pressing the volume up button, the TV sound suddenly became very loud, and the whole room could hear it.

At this time, the news host of the ABC channel on TV suddenly had a serious expression and said in a serious tone: "Viewers, the latest bad news, there is a school shooting in Springfield, Oregon today, Springfield A 17-year-old student at Field High School, Kip Kinkel, fired wildly in the classroom with a semi-automatic rifle today, killing 2 students and injuring 22 others. Although Kip Kinkel He has been arrested now, but when the police were negotiating with him, his biological parents rushed into the classroom in agitation and were unfortunately shot dead by him."

"Oh, God! My God, how could this happen..." Upon hearing the news, Wang Yang, Jessica, Joshua, Rachel, and Zachary were all stunned and immediately gathered on TV , looked up with a heavy and sad face.

The picture of Springfield High School was playing on the TV screen, and the news anchor said: "It is understood that Kip Kinkel was expelled from Springfield High School yesterday for entering the school illegally with a gun. This is already the third school shooting case this year. Last month, on March 24, the first shooting case occurred this year. Two boys from an elementary school in Arkansas were expelled from the school. They used rifles to attack the teacher. 1 teacher and 4 girls were killed, and 10 were injured. The second case occurred on the 19th of this month. Jack Davis, a senior high school student in Tennessee, was shot dead in the school parking lot A classmate."

"The frequent occurrence of school shootings, let us question ourselves, do we care enough for students? The campus should be a paradise, not a killing field. In addition, campus psychologists reminded that in order to prevent the continued herd effect, please Schools and parents are paying close attention to their children recently, please give them enough care..."

The atmosphere in the room froze, the previous laughter disappeared, and everyone frowned tightly. The two girls, Jessica and Rachel, kept saying sadly, "God, God..."

Suddenly, Joshua turned his head to look at Wang Yang, with a suspicious expression on his face: "Brother, don't you suddenly run to Southern California with a gun to kill people? I think you are a dangerous person."

Wang Yang was taken aback when he heard the words, but Jessica immediately yelled angrily: "Joshua!!! Shut up!!!!" She picked up the pillow on the sofa and threw it on Joshua next to her. Wang Yang quickly grabbed her, stopped her and said, "It's okay, Jessica, I'm fine." He looked at Joshua, frowned and said, "But, Joshua, this joke is not funny at all, I miss you You should know that this is a serious matter, don't take it as a joke."

Rachel also stared at Joshua angrily, and said, "You not only hurt Jan, but also those who unfortunately passed away." Zachary also shook his head and said, "This kind of talk is terrible."

"Joshua, apologize to Yang immediately, now!" Jessica's eyes were about to burst into flames. The school shooting and Wang Yang's expulsion were all very serious matters, how could they be joked about! ? This not only made her feel ashamed, but also angry!

"OK, I made a mistake, I apologize!" Joshua curled his lips, reluctantly said: "I'm sorry. Actually, I didn't mean it. I'm just worried that your thoughts are extreme. This is a kind of concern... "

Jessica gritted her teeth and said, "What's your attitude? How can you say something like that?" She anxiously said to Wang Yang herself: "Yang, I'm sorry, Joshua is just a rebellious child, he even said that to himself. You don't know anything, don't worry about it."

Wang Yang gave her a "don't worry" smile, and said, "No, I know Joshua doesn't mean anything malicious, as long as he apologizes." He took the remote control and turned off the TV, got up and clapped his hands, He smiled and said, "Come on, forget about those sad things, I'll show you some happy things." He said and walked to the bedroom, Rachel and Zachary got up and followed.

Jessica glared at Joshua, and said in a low voice, "I won't let you go, I'll settle the score with you when I get home." After that, she followed quickly.

When he came to the bedroom, Wang Yang turned on the computer and played the clips of the movie shot a few days ago, as if looking at his own child, with a satisfied smile on his face, he turned around and said, "These were all shot two days ago, Today’s filming hasn’t been uploaded yet.”

"Oh my God!" Jessica looked fascinated. Although these clips were scattered and not connected by editing, and she didn't understand it very well, just watching it like this made me feel very happy and looking forward to it. Looking at the computer screen without blinking, he murmured, "That's a good shot..."

At this time, the heroine Mel appeared in the video, and then the actor Kevin, Zachary-Levy suddenly yelled: "Haha, that's me, that's me! Wow, watching it on the computer It feels really good to see myself!" Rachel nodded with a smile, and said, "Well, I feel good too."

Jessica looked at Rachel, and envy flashed in her eyes. Damn it, why isn't she appearing on the computer screen now?

"It's blurry and dizzy..." Joshua, who was standing at the back, took a few glances, and then said disdainfully, but no one paid attention to him, even Jessica was too busy looking at the screen to curse. Too lazy to scold him. Joshua picked his ears and walked away bored. What's the big deal, isn't it just filmed on DV? He will!

He went out of the bedroom, and suddenly saw the DV player on the coffee table in front of the sofa, his eyes lit up, he walked over to pick it up, then walked back to the bedroom door, and shouted: "Hey, guys, look this way! Holding the DV player, he laughed and said, "Look, I'm also a director!"

Everyone glanced back at him, smiled and shook their heads angrily, and continued to look back at the screen. Wang Yang held the mouse and clicked on those clips, and said with a smile: "Joshua, you can take a picture of these scenes now, and play them as a sideshow of the movie in the future."

Jessica, who didn't want to miss the video for a second, turned her head back in a hurry, looked at Joshua, and scolded him: "Be careful, don't mess around, don't lose the shot that Yang took today!"

"Please, how could it be! I'm not an idiot." Joshua responded casually, walked around holding the DV, posing in various shooting poses, and shouted, "Do you think I'm handsome?" But no People paid attention to him, and he felt bored after doing it for a while, so he walked out of the bedroom with the DV player.

After a while, when Wang Yang was about to click to play the next set of shots, suddenly, Joshua screamed "Ah" from outside, and then heard a "Peng bang", which seemed to be Joshua The sound of Ya falling to the floor.

"What happened!?" Wang Yang, Jessica and others frowned, and hurried outside to have a look, only to see Joshua lying on the floor of the hall, covering his knees in pain. His forehead twitched, and the DV camera that should have been in his hand was also lying on the floor one meter away from him.
