Section 9 Traps

When Harry told the news of Levy's suicide, he thought it would have a big impact on Levy: whoever the scandal was exposed would definitely feel quite painful. As a journalist who specializes in covering other people's scandals, he is familiar with this. Unfortunately, this time, things seem to be different. His words just made Levy wink, and then he laughed, "Oh, you're mistaken, that's not me." As if a punch had hit the air, Harry opened his mouth slightly, and he didn't close it for a long time. He thought that after he said that Levy failed to make a movie and his career was down, even if Levi would not be angry and turn his face on the spot, he would be ashamed and embarrassed and justify it in every way, but Levi directly said 'You are mistaken', so that all Harry's prepared mockery could not be sent. It's not scientific! You've just messed up the movie and ruined your family! What about your shame? Are you not convinced? What about your unappreciated anger, your unappreciated loneliness? Why did they all disappear all at once? Someone exposed your sore feet, how could you be so calm and easy to lie? Thick-skinned, right? And if you have such a thick skin and don't take this seriously at all, will you have enough to live a suicidal experience?

Different thoughts swirled in Harry's mind, and even he wondered if the reporter who provided him with information was playing tricks on himself. If it weren't for the exact information, Harry would have suspected that he wasn't a loser when he saw his smiling words - this kind of confident smile definitely didn't look like the mentality of a person who was on the verge of a breakdown or even wanted to commit suicide.

Normal people have experienced suicide, and psychotherapy will take months!

"Suicide? How so? My career has not fallen to the point where I can only work as a reporter in those tabloids, and I still have a choice of paths, and I am not going to commit suicide. Bruce, you say it's ridiculous, this kind of boring news can be circulated among media workers. ”

Levy hadn't stopped, he was still talking to Bruce beside him, laughing and laughing. His words also made the people around him talk in a whisper. Suicide is a different kind of thing. If you talk about drug use, car accidents or something, it's common to refuse to admit other things a day after the incident, but people who commit suicide are things that they will do with a rather tangled psychology, so after a day, they talk loudly about psychological shadows, not like a person who has just done a similar incident.

Is it a feigned self-confidence? It's not impossible. However, in general, it is easier for a normal person to imitate someone who is about to have an emotional breakdown. And a person who is already on the verge of emotional collapse wants to imitate a normal person, it is much more difficult. Many people who have just tried suicide still have to receive counseling from a psychiatrist, and in such a short period of time, they will regain their strength and put on the battle - it is impossible for an actor to play well when he is in a bad mood, right?

The people present can be said to be the elite of the entertainment industry, and they are all quite familiar with the acting career. Whether Levy is acting or not, they are all watching, and it is clear that this kind of appearance without a trace of regret at all does not look like a person who has just failed.

Either this is an actor-level actor, or else, the news is wrong. And which of these two is more credible? People still have their own judgments.

"Maybe it's a mistake......"

"Can a suicidal person be so energetic......

"How ...... is the credibility of 'The Detractor'?"

Levy's refusal to admit it made the surrounding discussion also appear. I have to say that these British actors and crew members are quite personable, at least, they didn't stand up directly and began to mock Harry, they were more, really not far away, whispering behind their backs about Levy's demeanor and Harry's words - although it was not very kind, but at least, it didn't immediately make Harry unable to get off the stage. It's just that he was sure of nine out of ten things, and Levy's words were denied, and Harry was also sure that the voices around him would definitely not praise his shrewdness and ability.

Compared to Harry's gradually ruddy complexion, Levy's face was much more joyful. He found out at the beginning that Harry wanted to make a fool of him, and he had already thought about paying attention: since he had attracted the attention of the people around him, what he should do was not how to cover up, but how to turn people's attention into a direction that was beneficial to him.

So, he simply denied suicide: psychological breakdown? Shameful? Shameful? No kidding, I've just crossed over, what does the previous thing have to do with me. He didn't care about Harry's problem at all, and, more than that, he could find an opportunity to taunt him again.

His words are also true, and even if he can't make some points, he can still consider becoming a critic. However, this made Harry's face even more ugly. He was still laughing at Levy's failure just now, but even Levy, who failed in his career, still has a better development path than him.

This made Harry's face even worse, it was one thing for himself to be ridiculed, and it was another thing for the credibility of his magazine to be questioned. He originally wanted to continue Levy's suicide problem and force Levi to lose his temper, so as to make Bruce lose face in this and hit his opponent, who knows, now the shame has become himself.

This is not good, I have to get my yard back. Looking at Levy's smiling face, Harry struggled to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart and smiled again.

"Other directions? Yes, you can also be a film critic...... Nicholas, your father and your brother are both top film critics, and I'd love to know what you think of this movie. ”

Since Levy's skin is thicker than expected, it is better to use a new method. Harry didn't believe that a man who was hospitalized yesterday would be able to prepare a review of a movie today.

In particular, the film is a classic British drama - although Harry is only a tabloid editor, he is also very aware that Britain is one of the few countries in the world that is enthusiastic about classical dramas. Because there is a Shakespeare, compared to other countries, the British prefer to play costumes, they have many years of experience in rehearsing Shakespeare's plays, almost all British actors, have had the experience of rehearsing Shakespeare plays in London's West End, they have unique conditions. The temperament honed in Shakespeare's plays since childhood, the unmistakable props and costumes, coupled with the adaptation of the works of famous artists like Jane Austen, and the excellent line details, many things in this movie are close to perfect, at least in the eyes of the British, their works are perfect.

The closer this thing is to perfection, the harder it is to comment on it, and it is very difficult to find flaws in such a movie. And if you blindly tout, it will also reduce the credibility of your comments. Harry asked Levi for his opinion, in fact, he just wanted to see what Levi could do if he couldn't get the corresponding movie review.

The people here are basically all elites in the circle, and they have a very in-depth study of the British classics. Levy is here, as long as he says the wrong word, then, in the eyes of these people, Levy's proud gestures are all foreign.

I don't know what medicine you took to commit suicide, you can be so energetic, you don't care at all. However, you can regulate your emotions, and you can't get knowledge suddenly, right?

He wasn't worried that Levy would refuse to accept his question. He was the son of Adam Levy and the younger brother of Bruce Levy, and if he avoided the problem, even his brother and his father would be disgraced together.

"If you really want to know, come with me. There are some things that I just want to say to the director. You may not be able to understand it, but you can listen to it. ”

As he spoke, Levy shook him off in stride and walked towards the middle of the hall. His stride was quite big, and the confidence and firmness revealed in that stride made Bruce stunned for a moment. Does he really want to comment on the film? It's not easy to comment on a Jane Austen work.

"Nick, you underestimate me too much, I've read this Jane Austen novel many times, I'm familiar with every detail of this novel, I know everything very well, I believe you can't say anything, I can't understand it."

Harry laughed: he does have a strong confidence in this novel, and what makes him even happier is that his trap lured Levy to take the bait: in this movie, 36-year-old Emma Thompson plays a 19-year-old girl, which can be said to be the biggest problem, Harry is looking forward to it, and Levy points out the problem that Thompson is too old - accusing a lady in public of being too old, and this lady is also an Oscar-winning actress, recognized as the most talented lady in the whole of Britain, Levy will make the entire British entertainment industry hate him.

Of course, he would not have pinned all his hopes on such a simple trap. There is another big trap waiting for Levy: after all, it is a movie promotion meeting, even if Levy really finds out what movie is the problem and raises it, is it very good for the movie? Finding fault at the promotion of the movie, even if Levi did it, he didn't want anyone to have a good impression of him anymore.

The few people standing in front of Levy automatically got out of the way, they had already heard Levi and Harry talking, and they knew that now Levy wanted to talk to Director Ang Lee. Levy walked forward, and he saw Ang Lee standing in front of him, waiting for his arrival.

"Director Ang Lee, congratulations on making such a good movie, thank you for making such an excellent movie, and I am looking forward to seeing your next English-language movie."

Levy, who walked towards Ang Lee, did not hesitate, and directly expressed his congratulations in a loud voice.

His words made Li An directly open his mouth in surprise and look at him with some doubts, and the people around him also turned their eyes to Levy. Even Bruce behind him, at this time, was just as stunned. It's a very simple phrase, but Levy uses Chinese.

When did Nick learn to speak Chinese? Can he communicate with a Chinese person in Chinese?

When did he have this skill?

In front of him, Levy did not hesitate. He found that the quarrel just now had made Li An and the others notice this, so he knew that it was time to walk up and say hello.

How useful is it to introduce yourself to a few people? How helpful can it be to introduce yourself to some doorways? The real respect has to be earned by oneself, and the real status has to be established by oneself. Relying on others, you can't get the respect of others from the heart, and if you want to be respected, you have to rely on your own talent.

"Harry, I'm talking to Mr. Director about the movie right now, are you sure, do you really understand?"
