Section 20 Lenses, Dreams
When Levy vomited all the contents of his stomach, leaving his groggy head a little sobered up with the help of cold water, he did not return to the banquet, but slipped into the back garden of the hotel by himself, wanting to calm himself down.
"It's your own business how you want to play, just don't mess around too much."
By the time Levy, Clark and Jack arrived at the party, it was already halfway through the party. Seeing Levy, Bruce first told Levi that Adam had been here, but had already left, and then, he left Levi alone and let Levi and the others have fun on their own.
It's not an important gathering: every year around the Oscars, influential big media will hold a banquet to maintain their own connections, say it is to celebrate and predict, but also more to find out the new trends of other people's future, communicate with each other, and seek better development. It's just that such a banquet has many real Hollywood celebrities participating, which is grand enough and classy enough, and it looks good.
Hollywood is a big place, but it's also small. To say big, there are more than 50,000 actors here, plus all kinds of people, I'm afraid there must be 100,000 people. To say that there are only so many people in the number of small, top stars, and it is not difficult to invite almost everyone to a banquet.
Jack has a high interest in such banquets. As a young actor, he is bent on becoming famous, so he naturally thinks about meeting a few more stars. Levy brought him into the party, and he and Clark went around talking, and Levy wanted to drink a few more drinks alone, but who knows, he drank too much like this.
How long has it been since I've experienced this feeling after drinking and vomiting?
It seems that he still hasn't fully adapted to the crossing, and he has forgotten that the current body is no longer the body that was tested by alcohol before. Getting drunk after three glasses of wine is incredible for the previous self, and for the current self, it is a realistic problem. But it's okay...... Drinking alcohol hurts your body after all. It's better to drink less, or less.
It's really boring to be yourself, at such a banquet, what you should do is obviously to find a beautiful woman, but what you do by yourself is just drinking.
Perhaps he was too happy on this day - for Levy, the success of the script and the opportunity to shoot a TV series were a firm step towards his dream, a step that he had never completed in his two lifetimes.
In his previous life, Levy had always dreamed of becoming a great director. It's just that, at that time, he never had enough opportunities and enough ability to try his dreams. The dream of becoming a director, shooting the stories he wants to shoot, the stories he loves - such a dream is so unattainable for him. In his previous life, he hit a wall several times, on the one hand, he didn't want to shoot nonsense scenes that didn't conform to common sense at all and gave in to actors and investors, and on the other hand, he didn't want to take the money of foreign production companies to shoot something that smeared his country, and could only be played at film festivals, but was not allowed to be broadcast to the public. The two ends are not pleased, the two ends are deflated, and he has paid enough for his ideas.
He never gave up and worked hard in the direction of his dreams. He tried, tried, and although he was never very successful, he never gave up. However, not giving up does not mean that your dream will be achieved, in fact, if it is not for this crossing, your dream may still be so far away.
And now, I have finally done something different from before. Although this success turned out to be so weird. I was reborn, crossed over, and became the second generation in the circle, so success came easily - this theme that I didn't bother to use in movies in my previous life has now come true.
Of course, this TV series is not something I particularly like, and even in a sense, the filming of this TV series plagiarized other people's ideas, which is not particularly glorious, and it is not a dream realization - my own dream is not plagiarism. But at least, this gives me the opportunity, gets closer to my dreams, has enough money, enough status, and can shoot what I want, which can be regarded as my own accumulation. Maybe his methods are a little despicable, but his own pursuit, he will not forget.
In the past and present lives, in the two lives, everything has changed, and what has not changed is this idea.
Moreover, even if he plagiarized himself, he was not worthy of talking about his dreams, but Bob finally realized his idea. Look at Bob's happiness, look at the excitement of people after realizing their dreams, and then think about their own life, how can Levy not be happy that he has really taken this step.
My dream will come true one day.
A soft sound sounded in his ears, interrupting Levy's immersion in memories and dreams. He looked back and saw a woman with long blond hair and a long pink dress. Obviously, she had also come to the garden to avoid the dinner, but unlike Levy, she seemed to have encountered something sad - her already thick eye makeup had been so cried that Levi couldn't even recognize what she looked like, only a crying makeup on her face, and a rather delicate figure under the long skirt.
A very spicy girl without looking at her face - maybe from drinking, Levy found that she was not only sentimental today, but also always quite divergent.
"Hello, miss." Seeing that the other party had been crying as if he hadn't seen him, Levy had no choice but to open his mouth and say hello.
Seeing his presence, the woman dodged a step back in fright. After seeing clearly that it was just a thin man in a suit, the woman was visibly relieved.
"I'm sorry, I lost my temper." The woman spoke, her voice was quite crisp, and Levi could hear it, she was not very old, maybe it would be more appropriate to say that it was a girl, "I thought there was no one in the garden." ”
"You can completely ignore my existence." Levy smiled, "I'm not a big person anyway. ”
His words didn't make the girl's expression better, but the girl trembled and lowered her head even more, "It's more important than me, this person is more important than me." ”
"What's wrong, what's going on?" Levy didn't add the second half of the sentence in his heart: You might as well say it and make me happy.
Maybe I drank too much, and when I saw a woman, the first thing I thought of was to ridicule and have fun - but I can't blame myself, who would be very interested in hooking up when I look at this kind of crying makeup?
"There's nothing to be unhappy about, what can I not be happy about? …… I'm a model, and I came from New York, and my agent friend told me I could come here and try to be an actor, so I came here. But until now, I can only act in third-rate bad movies in Hollywood, and in third-rate bad movies, I'm still just a bad character! As the blonde girl spoke, she had already forgotten where she was, and all the anger in her stomach erupted, "I'm a model, and I'm not short of people in New York." I love acting, people who have seen me perform, everybody says I'm a genius, I came to Hollywood, I thought I could be successful, but here, I'm nothing. Playing a bad role in a bad movie, I feel like a bad actor. ”
"Welcome to Hollywood." Levy spread his hands and made a bow.
This is Hollywood, and I don't know how many girls with dreams, who have acting experience in their hometowns, and who are famous beauties in their hometowns will come to Hollywood. However, after these girls arrived here, they found that the opportunity to become famous here was not easy to find, and their talent and beauty were not as extraordinary as they imagined.
There are excellent actors from all over the United States and even half of the world, and there are all kinds of beauties and talents here. Many people can be one in a million in their hometown, but when they get here, they are unknown. It's not easy to get ahead here. Looking at the girl in front of him, Levi was somewhat lucky: compared with these women who needed heavy makeup and ran to the banquet to seek opportunities, although his creative process was a little harder, at least he didn't lose much of his dignity.
Standing beside the girl, Levy surprisingly didn't want to comfort the girl, and took the opportunity to get some cheapness. At this moment, he looked at the hall and the girl here in the distance, but his mind was thinking about something else.
Success and failure in Hollywood are really too direct, and too much - unlike the undercurrents of other industries, Hollywood filmmakers live inside and outside the camera, successful people can enjoy everything under the camera, and failed people can only envy the distance outside the scope of the camera.
It may be just a wall, but the difference between the two is as big as a chasm that cannot be bridged. All the lenses are aimed at the inside of the lens, the inside of the lens and the outside of the lens are two worlds, countless people want to squeeze into the lens, for them, one step out, their lives have changed.
One side is inside the mirror, and the other side is outside the mirror; On one side is in the dream, and on the other side is outside the dream.
"You're here hoping for a new opportunity?" The girl couldn't control her emotions anymore, and Levy wanted to comfort her, but the feeling of dizziness made him give up the idea - comforting a woman was a delicate job, and as a drunk, Levy didn't try to do it - besides, it was not his liking to win a woman's favor by licking her wounds.
"I'm here just for a report. It's not the cover, it's not the inside page. It's just an ordinary report. As long as I have a report, I can have the opportunity to appear in a movie, I can usher in the peak of my career, but I can't get it, I can't get it. I thought I was an attractive woman, but here, I can't attract anyone at all! They looked at me like a fool, and I couldn't have had them report on me! ”
An ordinary report...... Even I know that an ordinary report on "Variety" is worth 300,000. There are 300,000 US dollars, what woman can't find it? It's not that you're not charismatic, it's just that your charisma isn't worth 300,000.
However, having said that, it is difficult for you to succeed even if you have the psychological quality of crying after being hit by someone......
Maybe it's the original intention of being drunk, maybe it's the reason why my brain is burned, and it's also the reason why I saw Bob's happiness in realizing his dream during the day, and the reason why Jack needs to wait for the loss of his dream, looking at her appearance, Levy suddenly had a sympathetic idea in his heart, waved at her, and opened his mouth again, "You wait here for a while, don't worry, isn't it just a magazine publication, what's so difficult, I'll help you, ask for a section!" ”
