Section 4: Self-Search
Levi readily agreed to Adam's suggestion and let Adam leave the ward with a smile on his face - his son was obedient, and his purpose was achieved. And after watching him go, Levy sat on the bed, twisted his head to the other side, and looked at his blurred image in the mirror through the window, thinking about his future.
I have crossed over, and my current self is not the self of my previous life. Judging from the blurred shadow in the mirror, he has a rather thin face, unkempt hair, and a scruffy beard, and he doesn't look like a handsome guy at all - but it doesn't matter, he wasn't a handsome guy in his last life. It's just that from his face, he obviously looks like a Westerner, which makes Levy a little awkward.
There will be gains and losses...... It looks awkward to cross over like this, but think about how suddenly I have become a second generation with a deep background, with a network that is difficult to reach in my previous life, and a way to easily arrange TV series filming for him - if your face looks awkward, just be awkward, just know who you are.
And who is himself?
is Li Wei, an ordinary advertising director who mixed in the circle in his last life. Although I have always asked myself that my talent is extraordinary, the truth is that I have never had any outstanding works. In his previous life, he never had enough opportunities, and he could always be described as doing nothing. However, no matter how inactive he is, he has nearly ten years of accumulation in the circle. In terms of experience, I am not bad at all. And if you want to talk about the way, you didn't have it in your previous life, but in this life, you don't need to worry about it. With experience and a way, as long as you have enough talent, you can get ahead. And the talent ...... Levy laughed: Isn't this what he has always wanted to prove?
And now, Levy has found that he too has to prove himself with his talent.
I crossed by myself, but the time and place didn't seem to be very good. In terms of time, it is now 1996, and if I had traveled two years earlier, I might have caught up with the movie miracle year of 94. In terms of location, according to the memories of Levy remaining in his brain, it seems that there are many movies in this plane that he has crossed over. This world is a parallel world that is almost identical to the earth, not a simple copy of the work at all.
Seems like a pity......
After receiving this bad news, there is another piece of bad news. After thinking hard in his mind for a long time, Levy did not search for such an anti-heaven golden finger as 'all the movie details in the next twenty years', and in his previous life, Levy was obviously not a time-traveling enthusiast who liked to recruit thunder and thunder, and in his previous life, he did not have the hobby of trying to memorize movie scripts, so he estimated that he would not be able to do this kind of thing in less than a month after closing the door and writing thirty scripts with a splash of ink. And the rest...... Whatever it is, it's the same as your own world. This world seems to be completely no different from your own world, everything that should be there is and what you should not have seems to be nothing. At least, after the crossing, Levy did not suddenly become a mysterious Chinese kung fu master who could punch people twenty meters out with one punch and the power of a heavy truck, nor did he become a golden voice that was enough to shock the Quartet with a fine voice and a singing voice, and even the original owner of this body did not leave much to himself.
As Nicholas Levy, the life of the original owner of this body is a very failure. The film he made failed, and he spent all his money and lost his friends' money. Even his biological father is not optimistic about his future and is only willing to help him shoot a TV series - obviously, this is a man at the bottom.
He seems to have some knowledge himself, although New York University seems to be inferior to USC, but it is also a good place to study film, this little Mr. Levy is not stupid, he has learned a lot of things, whether it is the appreciation of European and American films or the basic skills of shooting, he is very good, and he can also speak English, French, German, and Spanish - this is the 'legacy' that this little Mr. Levy left to himself.
Everything seems to tell Levy that if he wants to succeed, he still needs to rely on his own way to achieve his goal, and the road can be paved by others, but how to go depends on himself.
And how to go your own way? Levy was also a little confused for a while. In the past, Little Levy should have had some good talents, but he completely hit the street and took his life. Where is he better than him, and can he embark on the road to success? Not long after crossing over, he couldn't think of what to do in the face of this new environment.
After the crossing, the ecstasy of escaping death from a car accident and having a chance to make his dream come true, Levy has to think about the rest of the world. He was a little confused, a little overwhelmed, but by the time he was stunned, the door of the room had been pushed open again. After Adam left the room, someone else flashed into the room outside the door.
"Nick, tell me, what did your father say? Is he willing to help you? Is our business about to take a turn for the better? ”
"Relax, Alex." Levy looked at the person in front of him and nodded, "Of course there has been a turnaround, don't worry, I'll tell you right away." ”
In his memory, what little Levy left him, in addition to that messy mess and a family background that could be used, seemed to have another thing, that is, he had a few good friends who could really be trusted. In my memory, this time he made a movie, he lost all the money - not only his, but also the name in front of him is Alexander Klein, but after losing the money, he did not blame little Levy, and he kept encouraging Levy: from this point of view, his friends are good.
How many friends can you meet in your life who can look down on money?
When he had listened to Levy's story, Alexander sat down in his chair and looked somewhat unhappy.
As someone who has filmed movies, I always feel very uncomfortable going to the circle of mixing TV dramas. Although he participated in the filming of a street movie, in his heart, Alexander also regarded himself as a filmmaker, and was demoted from a filmmaker to shoot a TV series......
"I always feel that we are getting worse and worse."
"The movie is smashed, and it has reached the point of suicide, isn't it getting worse and worse? It's good to have a way out, so let's hold on like this first. Levy answered.
This Alexander is the one who saved himself and sent himself to the hospital. At the same time, he is also his partner in memory. This Alexander, like Levy, was also a Jew, except that his background seemed to be quite ordinary, and he did not work in film, but was always doing something else. He and Levy are obviously very good friends, in Levy's memory, this person does not care much about film art, but his ability to do things is very trustworthy.
"Speaking of suicide...... You should pay attention to yourself later. It's just a loss of money, as for seeking death? You have such a good father, what difficulties can't you get over? Besides, if you start a company together and lose money and you commit suicide, do you want to kill me? Alexander then remembered that his friend had just committed suicide, and he muttered a few complaints, which was nothing more than saying that Levy was too inconsiderate, and seeing that Levy didn't talk back, just a strong smile, he looked at Levy with some confusion, "I'll have to ask the doctor what medicine he prescribed to you, why do you just giggle?" ”
"I'm fine, I'm just happy to have survived. Isn't it okay for me to be excited about a new life again? ”
"You'd better not get infatuated with this taste and die again after a few times." Alexander complained, and then led the topic to the point, "Your father's attitude is really strange, he told me that he would find a way to arrange it, but it just turned out to give you a chance to shoot a TV series?" This opportunity is a bit too bad, and a big man like your father should have a better chance. ”
"You seem to be disappointed that he's not your father." Levy complained.
Alexander didn't care about this either, "My father is very good, he is the kind of father who can take me to fish, but not the kind of father who can find me a relationship and make my career successful, I want both kinds of fathers, as far as the current stage is concerned, the latter is more important, I don't mind having multiple fathers when there is a chance - I know you don't like your father, he never takes you to watch ball games, fishing, play or anything, but you must know that you sacrificed your childhood in exchange for the good opportunity you have now, you have to cherish it." ”
Levi shook his head, this friend of his own, really not a good person.
"The filming of TV series is actually not as bad as you think." Levy ignored Alexander's nonsense and explained Adam's arrangement, "He didn't give us a better chance, probably because the movie we made was so bad. I think it's probably because he watched our movies and felt that our talent couldn't hold up a movie, so he refused to give us a chance. ”
"I'm just weird that you would commit suicide for a movie, but when it comes to this film, you don't hesitate to call it a bad movie." Alexander raised an eyebrow and watched as Levy spoke.
"Is that a good movie?"
This rhetorical question made Alexander lose his temper, "It's really a bad movie." ”
"That's the end of it. As a father, Adam definitely wanted to help me, but as a film critic, he knew our level and was reluctant to give us too many opportunities. An opportunity for a TV series, this is what he thinks is the most in line with our level. ”
"TV series ......" Alexander furrowed his brows, but was quickly relieved, "It's also a job." I hope you make a movie, it is more likely to make money by making a movie, and you also know that if your movie is smashed, we are all poor, and it is better to make money and pay back the money as soon as possible. If it's a TV series, the income is stable, but it's not as lucrative as a movie...... So, does your father want us to shoot now, just in time for the test screening in May? ”
"Of course, do you want to delay the release until September?"
"Then we have to hurry up and work, it's already February, and if we want to make a good TV series, we have to prepare well." Alexander scratched his head, he knew a lot about the affairs of the circle, but when it came to how to shoot the work, he was confused. "We're going to have to get ready...... Alex, did you drive the right way? So, let's get out of here together. Levy rolled over and got out of bed, "I'm fine, don't worry." Now, let's get out of here and get ready. Make a phone call, call our guys, it's time to get to work. ”
In my memory, although my company is small, there are still a few people. Now, check it out for yourself and see if they can help you succeed. He may not be doing well in other things, but as long as he can make good use of the resources at hand, he is sure that he definitely has a future.
