012 Died three times

"Of course, you're right." Lance's words made George breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Lance didn't do anything special, George could feel the invisible pressure, indescribable, and even a thin layer of sweat on his back, this feeling was really long gone. Several times, George had the illusion that he was talking to a big guy like Barry Meyer, but in the blink of an eye, he saw clearly that it was Lance in front of him - Lance with a light smile on the corner of his mouth, Lance with a fragile eye under his eyes, and Lance without any offensive power.

George thinks it must have been because he didn't sleep well last night.

"Starting in Africa, that's not going to work, but starting in South America, it's a good choice." Lance only paused slightly, and then nodded his chin seriously, but the understatement exploded in George's ears with thunder, and this roller coaster experience directly made all of George's voices and all reactions choked in his throat, but Lance didn't seem to notice George's strangeness at all, and fell into his own thoughts, "Mario Vargas Llosa, García Márquez, Jorge Borges...... There are so many great works of literature that have been born on the South American continent that I think it's worth excavating. ”

After George's awakening, Lance really became a little interested, because he clearly knew that in 2015, African cinema was still a dead silence, and that land had always been tormented by wars and disasters, which made people sigh; However, South American cinema has risen strongly, Argentina, Brazil, and Chile have produced many excellent works, and Mexican film talent has become a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood.

In the previous life, he did not read that contract carefully; Maybe after a closer look, you might be able to find something.

Lance looked up at George, a hint of confidence and firmness slowly overflowing between his eyebrows, "Maybe this can be a www.biquge.info for me to start over, right?" Lance's blue eyes shimmered with starlight, like a dolphin leaping gently above the depths of the sea, and he looked intently and earnestly at George, as if seeking George's affirmation.

George was directly choked at this time, his mind was chaotic, he didn't know how to react at all, he couldn't make a sound at all, he could only barely squeeze out a smile, and then nodded in a panic, trying to play the role of a best friend.

Lance turned a blind eye to George's embarrassment, and the smile in his eyes spread to the corners of his mouth like starlight, "I knew you would support me." Lance patted George's shoulder lightly, and the cheerful love seemed to lighten the air, "Thank you, my friend, thank you!" ”

George had the urge to vomit blood at this time!

In the past two weeks, he has spent countless efforts laying the groundwork for Lance to develop according to his vision, and paint a magnificent blueprint for New York. Next, he only needs to give up the adaptation rights of these works with a gentle push behind his back, and it will be a matter of course for Lance to give up the adaptation rights of these works, and Lance will truly cut all ties with Diorama Pictures.

But what's going on now? Why did things take a turn for the worse? Why the sudden change in painting style? This is completely opposite to what he expected!

In fact, George felt that Ryan's move was a complete addition to the snake, because even if those novels were adapted into movies, it would not be possible to succeed, but Ryan insisted that Lance must not be left with any chance of revival. Deep down, George also knew that Ryan was still scared, even if he didn't admit it, no one could deny Lance's outstanding eye for selecting works, which was also an important reason why Diorama Pictures was able to develop so quickly. So, George ended up on the same side as Ryan.

But now things are getting tricky.

Lance had already made a decision, and if George continued to contradict and persuade the transfer of these copyrights to Diorama, then Lance would be suspicious. Once Lance sees through what George and Ryan are doing behind it, then things will not be easy to do in the future, and this is the real gain outweighs the loss.

George knew that the future was long, and he couldn't be spotted so quickly, and he had to stay by Lance's side.

Thinking of this, George quickly made a decision, he swallowed the mouthful of old blood that had already poured into his mouth, and showed a big smile, "Of course, this is my task. You know, I'm your unwavering supporter at all times, and if you want to, just let it go. ”

"Of course!" Lance gave George a thumbs up with his right hand, the look on his face faded little by little, showing a long-lost confidence and brilliance, and his deep eyes flashed with the trust and reliance that George was familiar with. Fortunately, he reacted in time and got through this crisis without being seen by Lance, which made George breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that...... Looking at Lance's smile, what is the indescribable sense of grievance?

George silently clenched his fist fiercely in his heart, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, took the initiative to turn his head to look ahead, raised his chin and pointed at the pastor who stepped forward, and said in a low voice, "Look, the pastor is ready, and the funeral is about to begin." After saying that, George did not wait for Lance's reaction, but closed his mouth and looked intently ahead, as if the funeral in front of him was a wonderful opera performance.

Lance slowly looked away from George, and also looked into the distance. There is still a lot of time for the debt between him and George to be cleared, and today is just the beginning. At the very least, George did a good thing today, reminding Lance of the adaptation rights of his novels, and perhaps, this trivial little thing could really be the key to his comeback.

Retracting all his thoughts, Lance gradually calmed down, listening to the priest's eulogy in front of him, listening to Becky Blair's grief-stricken eulogy, the chaos since the rebirth, the surprise, and the race against time disappeared, and for the first time, Lance really quieted down, examining his past, his present, and his future.

"The truth is that we all want to be remembered, that we can be an irreplaceable part of history, that our name will be sung by future generations, and that even if we leave this world, there are still traces of this world that belong to us. But Karel says that no one can last forever.

He said that a person will experience three deaths in his life, the first time is when he dies, physiologically speaking, he dies; The second time was when he was buried, people came to his funeral, remembering his life, sociologically speaking, he died; The third time was when the last person who remembered him forgot about him, and emotionally speaking, he was truly dead.

So, Karel said, he didn't need many admirers and admirers, and he didn't want to be an immortal great, he just wanted to have one—the only one, who would remember him forever. He sued me and he was lucky because he found it. ”

When Betsy said this, she stood beside the coffin and wept silently, almost unable to stand steadily, and finally did not pass out with the help of the priest. Lance quietly looked at Becky in the sun, his eyes slowly moved to the coffin next to him, and there was a faint bitterness in his eyes.

Perhaps Karel had already seen through this, and even at his funeral, the people who attended it had different agendas, and many people regarded the funeral as another social platform, rather than really coming to mourn his death. Karel was lucky, though, and at least Betsy was on his side.

Once, he had a chance to change his life. However, he was too self-righteous and naïve and stupid at the time to think that it was so easy to make a career and make history; Once, he thought that a dream was better than a qiē, and with a boiling enthusiasm, he bowed his head without hesitation and rushed forward, relying only on the belief in dreams to illuminate the whole world. However, he was too ignorant and too ignorant, not only ignoring the executioner who cut the rope of his life, but even regarded the accomplice as his best friend.

So, he missed it.

By the time he really came to his senses, it was too late, Diorama Pictures had become the backbone of Hollywood's first-line studios, and George Clooney had become the top of the Hollywood pyramid, none of them were something he could fight against alone - in fact, not to mention confrontation, they only needed to move their lips to make his acting career in New York difficult and dark.

In fact, at the very beginning, Lance also tried to analyze the reason for the matter, whether he was too arbitrary, whether he was too strong and domineering, which led to the disintegration of the friendship, hoping to find the root of this qiē from himself; Now Lance understands that maybe he's wrong, maybe Ryan, Tucker, Jason are wrong, maybe they're all right, but it doesn't really matter, because in the mall, there's no right or wrong, there's no friendship, there's only interest—absolute benefit.

At the crossroads of friendship and interests, at the intersection of dreams and reality, he made his choices, Ryan, Tucker, and Jason made theirs, and George made his choices, and then each took his own consequences.

He was wrong once, and he will never be wrong a second time. It had taken him a lifetime of struggle to live with the consequences, and now, it was their turn to take the consequences. Karel's funeral not only buried an excellent director, but also buried a pure passionate, kind and sincere soul, as well as those dreams and beliefs that once were.

After the funeral, Lance stepped forward again, gave Betsy a hug, and sent his blessings, and then slowly left the cemetery with the crowd.

Lance looked back at the cemetery again, the coffin had been placed in the tomb, and the crowd around it had dispersed, leaving only Betsy standing alone by the tomb, her hands tightly wrapped around her chest, staggering in the raging wind. Lance knew that at least he had one more chance to rewrite his life, to change his ending, and what would happen at the end of his third life, when his funeral came?
