When Levi met Jack, Jack was sitting on the sidelines, smoking a cigarette by himself, bored admiring the scenery around him. Seeing Levi coming, he just smiled bitterly at Levi and didn't say anything.

"Jack, what's going on? I heard that you were making trouble on the set and brought me all over from Miami. ”

"It's a bit hard to shoot the movie." Jack was silent for a while before answering what he asked, "This director, as well as the martial arts instructor, is too strict, and I'm a little annoyed...... The movie has only been in preparation for a month, and they let me practice my muscles every day...... I'm dying of exhaustion. ”

He didn't mention his mistake, but Levy understood what he meant.

"Want to have some fun when you're bored? Jack, you're working right now. Levi accused softly, "Filming is your job, how can you be afraid of getting tired?" And, I remember you said you loved martial arts movies. ”

"What I'm saying is, I love watching martial arts movies." Jack corrected, "But it's different." Besides, I was originally playing laser eyes, how meaningful is it to practice fighting and muscles? Nick, I don't care about putting in some effort to succeed, but I don't see the point of it all. ”

Seeing that Levy wanted to speak, Jack stretched out his hand to stop him, "Nick, you don't understand, I'm different from you, you're already the most successful people in this circle, your movie, Bob's script, Clark's editing, even Alexander is a successful producer, but I'm nothing." You don't understand, I am bent on success, but on this road, I always encounter all kinds of accidents and distract me, how anxious I am. Nick, there are times when I really wonder if I'm really untalented. You're the best director in Hollywood, and you've taken care of other actors' careers. You have an actor and a actress in your hands, and now Jim Carrey is also famous, and Hugh Jackman will transform successfully after this drama - I am my best friend, but you have never taken care of me, just let me train my muscles here...... I really doubt that I am hopeless. ”

Jack didn't hold back on Levy's complaints: as a good friend of Levy, he spoke rather casually. Levi also felt a little helpless about his words: This is the inevitable trouble of becoming a director, taking care of others, you can't just take care of outsiders and not pay attention to your friends, right?

"Jack. I've failed for a long time, and I know what you're thinking. Levy took his words, "When we don't succeed, we all look forward to success, and on the road to success, you don't want to waste time and energy on these inconsequential things, right?" ”

Jack nodded, Levy's words. It hit the nail on the head.

Of course, he didn't think the work was too tiring: if it was just tiring, he could still bear it. But in his opinion, many of the things he does are meaningless.

"Jack. You said that you like to watch martial arts movies, so let's talk about martial arts movies. Jack Cheng is one of the world's top martial arts actors, it stands to reason. He shouldn't have fought so hard, right? But he never used a stand-in in the movie, you know that, right? ”

Words on fame. Of course, Jackie Chan can't compare to martial arts stars such as the governor. However, compared to the way the governor likes to fight with muscles, Jackie Chan's movie is unique. There is a big difference between Hong Kong martial arts films and the United States, Jackie Chan, as a representative of Hong Kong martial arts films, is also very famous, and there is nothing wrong with Levy's words.

Jack nodded, agreeing with Levy. His goal wasn't to become a martial arts star, and he didn't know what Levy meant by that.

"At its peak, Hong Kong had a lot of film talents, but in the end, only one Jackie Chan is still active on the stage. To a large extent, his success is not because of his talent, but because of his dedication. And, coincidentally, here in Hollywood, there is also an actor who doesn't need a stand-in for filming, what level of star is Tom Cruise, don't you need to say? But you've probably heard of it, right? In the shooting of Mission Impossible, he never used a stand-in. ”

Tom Cruise's name in the circle is not very good: because he went to the Scientology sect, he made a bad reputation, although he is a top big star, but the media and the circle are quite critical of him. But no matter how much people hate him, they have to admit that he is one of Hollywood's top movie stars - as synonymous with Hollywood's handsomeness, he is indeed an unparalleled success.

And such a movie star, of course, is not simply successful. Levy remembers that when Tom Cruise became famous, Charlie Sheen was still able to be as famous as him, and with better connections and background, he even had greater potential, just a few years ago, Charlie Sheen was able to earn nearly 30 million a year. But now? Women and drugs are secondary, and his hairdryer style on the set of the movie, daring to mock the Jews, is simply self-inflicted. He didn't respect his work at all, which was the biggest reason for his failure.

No one's success is done casually, and Levy is convinced of that.

"You say that I help those actors, but I don't help you, not because I look down on you, but because I have always believed that only actors who are really willing to do their best to act are worthy of help. In the past few years, you were obviously not ready, and as a friend, I am still very happy to see you having fun, and there is no need to force you to improve. ”

Levy's words made Jack bow his head and remain silent, and Levi patted him before he spoke, "Now, you want to move up, and that's a good thing." Making a movie is not difficult to say, and it is not easy to say that it is easy. I hope that what you have learned is not kung fu, not to train muscles, but most importantly, to learn what it means to work hard - this is a lifetime of wealth for you. You're only 24 years old, and you still have a lot to live in the future. It's right, for you, there is a future. ”

Jack was silent. Levy patted him again before speaking again, "And when it comes to dedication: don't flirt with the actresses in your own group, this is the most basic requirement. Listen to me and go and apologize to Beckinsale. ”

"I'll go......" Jack nodded, he wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth two or three times, and swallowed back what he had meant to say.

There are some things that don't have to be said, what will happen in the future depends on your actions! ――

"Jack has apologized, and now, you're satisfied."

When Levy met Beckinsale, Jack had already apologized to Beckinsale. It's just that this kind of thing happened in his own crew, and Levy had to come over to comfort the actors. Seeing that Levy came to see her, Beckinsale immediately greeted her, her expression was a little relieved, but also a little embarrassed.

He apologized...... Thank you, Mr. Levy, I thought ......"

"Do you think Jack came to me to complain, or rather, to speak ill of you?" Levy shook his head, "Don't think so badly of Jack, he's not that kind of person. ”

Levy knew that this matter was very stressful for Beckinsale: a quarrel with the producer's friend, which was really a big deal for a rookie actor. It's just that she doesn't know at all, Jack doesn't take this matter to heart at all, and for him, women are not the key to the problem at all.

"I know he's not, it's just ......" Beckinsale muttered for a moment before shaking his head, "nothing." ”

"It's just that you don't really like his style of doing things, that's why you reprimand him to your face, right?" "There's nothing wrong with you, I'm not going to say anything about you, but, if possible, you should be a little more mindful of your style." ”

In Levy's previous life, he didn't pay much attention to the actor Beckinsale, only knew that she was good-looking, but she never had any good opportunities, and she had always just filmed some action movies. In the movie where she partnered with Xiao Lizi, her acting skills were also good, but she had been filming in action movies, and she didn't shoot some corrective scenes, which also made Levy a little strange, why is this.

In this life, he somewhat understood: Beckinsale's temper was too impulsive, knowing that Jack was his old buddy, and he wanted to make a big deal out of it, if he didn't want to help him, but to help his relatives and not help him, I was afraid that she would not have good results.

It is not surprising that such a temper has not been mixed. When I met myself, I didn't care too much, but when I met someone else, I was afraid that it would not be so easy to forgive her.

When this actor is acting, he always has a heroic spirit, which is very rare. Among female actors, it is easy to find those with charming temperament, ethereal temperament, weak temperament, and elegant temperament, but it is generally difficult to find such a heroic spirit. With such a quality, she could have mixed better: with such a temperament and style, she could have performed many extremely unique works.

But such heroism is difficult to get along with in life. Levy thought of the fact that she had publicly accused everyone in Hollywood of plastic surgery, and he also understood her temper a little.

"Thank you, Mr. Levy......" Beckinsale was silent for a moment, not answering, but only thanking him again.

"There is nothing to be thankful for...... Actually, it's not without reason that I'm helping you, maybe I'll have a movie for you to star in in the future. ”

The bigger reason for the care of the actors, of course, is to enable them to star in their own productions - something Levy never forgets. Moreover, Beckinsale's temperament is very distinctive, and maybe there are really some special works that suit her very well. (To be continued......)

PS: Some sources say that Beckinsale does have a big temper in the crew.
