"Dear friends, when you read this letter, your friend Nicholas Levy no longer exists in this world......"

When Adam Levy, with some agitation, began to read what he was doing, his brow furrowed as the words on the paper furrowed. His big Jewish nose kept opening and closing, with some anger and some uneasiness, and no one who saw his son's suicide note could not be happy.

"I was born in 1972 and died in 1996, my life was short but not wonderful, and there were regrets everywhere. I had a wonderful childhood, I was always praised by my parents as a genius, and I always thought I could be the best filmmaker in the world. Growing up, I worked in this direction as well, and in order to pursue true art, I kept exploring that I wanted to be a real artist, not a critic who was uncreative and could only survive on nitpicking, like my father......"

The plain words, with a little sadness, show the heart of a self-pitying young man in front of Adam. Looking at his son's suicide note and listening to his son's evaluation of himself, Adam was somewhat sad. As a senior member of the Film Academy and Hollywood's premier film critic, who dares to laugh at himself so much? He only has his own son, and he doesn't save face for himself at all.

A spoiled kid in his early 20s, he really doesn't understand anything.

"It's a pity that my exploration basically failed, I raised funds, formed a company, and shot the first film I planned, I thought that my film was a film that deeply reflected my life and my artistic pursuit, but no one in the entire film industry understood me. No company wants to release my films, they don't understand me, they don't value me, they don't understand what an artist wants to be, I'm going to use my life to wake them up, and I'm going to tell the world that my talent is something to remember......"

The statement in the letter is very sympathetic, and it can be seen that Adam, who is in a hot and cold world, only sighs. Isn't it just a movie that hits the streets? Isn't this a story happening every day in Hollywood? Want to kill yourself for the sake of a failed work? Is it worth dying for this? Still trying to use his own death to warn others, Adam sneered at his unsuccessful son, folded the suicide note and put it in his pocket, and then stood up.

"Alexander, thank you for bringing my son to the hospital. If you hadn't caught his folly in time and rescued him in time, I would have suffered unbearably now. I really don't know how to thank you, if you need anything in the future, just come to me, I will help you out. ”

There was no need to read the letter anymore, and Adam could guess what kind of self-pity was behind it. He stood up and thanked his son's friend - thanks to this man, he was taken to the hospital in time, otherwise he would have been angry with himself with these few words.

What a stupid boy who doesn't know how to respect his father, doesn't understand his own meaning, and doesn't even understand the preciousness of life.

"It's not a big deal, and thanks to his timidity, he didn't cut his veins well. He's rescued in time, and he's fine now, but he's not in a stable state of mind," Alexander nodded, he knew he should retreat now, "You should go and persuade him, he needs wise advice now." ”

"Hopefully he'll listen to what I'm saying." Without further ado, Adam walked to the door of the ward, and through the glass, he saw the man in the bed inside. In the ward, little Levi sat on the bed, his expression kept changing, one moment happy, one moment sad, and after another, he became very helpless and confused.

His expression changed back and forth, and Adam, who was outside the hospital room, couldn't guess what he was thinking. Could it be that after committing suicide, he became insane? Adam was also a little worried. That person is his son, no matter how disobedient he is, no matter how unsuccessful he is, he is his own son. Seeing his son trying to commit suicide after failing to shoot a movie and losing the money, Adam was also a little unbearable, and looking at the confused and helpless expression on his son's face, he felt distressed.

Why bother, to be an artist, what you need is the artist's creativity and pursuit, not the artist's temper and faults!

When he saw his son giggling again, Adam finally couldn't help it, he pushed open the door and strode in. "It's really good to see you still smiling." At this moment, Adam pushed the door and walked in, looking at his son on the hospital bed, he also didn't know where to start, "How are you feeling now?" ”

Hearing his words, little Levy, who was sitting on the bed, raised his head. His expression was a little confused at first, but it quickly turned into a strange smile. Adam had seen many things in his life, but even so, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw a man who had just committed suicide with a proud and confident smile on his face.

"It's completely well, and now it's ready to be discharged." Levy looked up, a smile on his face, his attitude full of politeness, "Thank you for coming to see me." ”

Adam tilted his head in surprise: since when did his son learn to be so polite? I used to accuse my father of being an old fool at every turn, and where is the child who has no artistic talent and has no artistic talent? How is it that after committing suicide once, your temper has changed?

"There's nothing to thank, you just need to take care of your injuries." Adam looked at Levy and saw that his son still didn't react too much before he spoke again, "If you're not feeling particularly tired right now, I think maybe we have to talk." ”

"What are you talking about?" "Nick, you're not a kid anymore, you've graduated from college, and you should grow up, so if I talk to you, I won't treat you as a kid." Adam sat down on the edge of the bed, then adjusted his tone and tried his best to speak in a gentler, more affectionate tone, "Nick, I've always told you since I was a kid growing up, you're a genius. But you should know that it is out of a father's encouragement and expectation of his son, and it is not necessarily all right. It's my responsibility that you've come to where you are today, and it's a big responsibility, and I've always hoped that you were a genius, and I hope you're different from me. I've always envied my father, he's a big guy in Hollywood, he's been involved in making a lot of amazing films, and I don't have his talent, and when I grow up, I can't make good movies at all, so I can only make a living by writing film reviews and criticizing other people's works. Others call me the editor-in-chief, saying that I am a big name in Hollywood, and I am also somewhat influential in Hollywood, but I know in my heart that without creative talent and successful works, even if I am the boss of the critics, I will not be able to get people's real recognition and respect. So I've always wanted my sons to be real geniuses, and I've been a little more demanding and spoiled by you, and I've always wanted you to be a genius. ”

Adam looked at his son: he is also a big man in the American film and television critics, but his son always can't manage it well. This stupid kid always feels that he is so talented that no one can compare, he doesn't care at all, the entertainment industry is a circle that pays attention to personal relationships, movies are not a salary that one person can complete, and this industry attaches more importance to interpersonal networks than other industries. has his own connections, but he refuses to use it, just thinking about becoming famous overnight and becoming a great director - this stupid idea is not eliminated, and he will go on an extreme road in the future.

Seeing that his son did not react, Adam continued, "Since you are no longer a child, then you have to recognize the facts: maybe...... You're not that genius. You can't be blamed for this, maybe it's because my genes are too bad, maybe it's because the idiots of this era don't know how great it is to appreciate works that are ahead of their time, maybe it's because the objective shooting equipment doesn't show your thoughts - there are many reasons, in short, it's not your fault. You don't have to use your own life to punish others for their stupidity. ”

"I know I'm not going to be stupid again."

"Don't be perfunctory to me."

"No, I'm not the same person I used to be." Levy on the hospital bed spoke, raised his head and looked at the window, and looked at his own shadow - I am not the same person I used to be, this sentence, except for myself, that is, the person who does not know where it is, does not know what it is called, and does not know why he sent himself into this world?

The current little Levy is no longer the little Levy who was sent to the hospital. That little Levy, when he committed suicide, had already died. And now this Levy, in his bones, is a person named Li Wei - unlike this suicide, Li Wei died in 2014, killed in a car accident, he didn't want to die, but his life was not good. From waking up to the present, it took Li Wei a long time to determine that he had crossed by himself. He is no longer the Li Wei who lives in the 21st world, but has traveled to Hollywood in 1996 and into the body of a suicide. His intellect told him it was unlikely, but the extra memories in his head, the changed appearance, and the year 1996 told him that he had just crossed over. Now, I am Nicholas Levy, not Li Wei of the past.

In his mind, he recalled Nicholas's short life: apparently, the little Mr. Levy was quite ambitious in his early years, and he was not willing to live in the shadow of his father, but vowed to forge his own path. Therefore, he rejected the path arranged for him by his father and was admitted to the film school of New York University himself, wanting to become a director by his own efforts. It's just a pity that after graduation, he still can't survive independently, so he has no choice but to return to Hollywood through his father's relationship to find relationships and work in various crews to increase his knowledge and ability. But here's the problem: after working for a while, his father, through various reactions, thought that he had no talent, and asked him to give up his career as a director and go into business honestly. However, he had the opposite opinion. So, he took all his savings, found a few friends, set up a small production company together, and then made a movie. It's just a pity that this film cost them all their money - no one wants to buy the rights to distribute it, and what they shoot is simply a scrap. Because of this, little Levi chose to commit suicide. In his opinion, his behavior has confirmed that he is not talented enough, and a filmmaker without talent is just a mediocre filmmaker, and it is better to live than to die. As a person who pursues art, although he is not talented enough, at least, he has enough pursuit.

"What a personal awkward person...... Why bother committing suicide if a movie fails? If you want to be an artist, you can't fight hard. For this Levy in the past, Li Wei had already made a judgment, "Such a fragile soul, it's better to rest." Your dream of being a filmmaker, I will continue for you. From today onwards, my name is Levy, and this story will be my story. ”
