The party with friends at the bar ended with a paragraph that set the direction of development. Although Levy really wanted to strike while the iron was hot and decide what TV series he would shoot in the future, he still felt that it was a wise choice to go back to the hospital.

And at noon the next day, when Levy returned from the hospital to his memory apartment, he was also slightly surprised when he looked around him.

In his memory, Nicholas Levy almost always carried out the idea that he was a member of the bottom of society, which also made Levy think that his living situation might be poor. But when he came out of the hospital and found that the car he was driving was a Porsche, and when he arrived in the community he remembered, he found that he rented a two-bedroom house to live alone, Levy couldn't help but sigh, where is such a poor living condition?

In Hollywood, you can afford to drive a good car, you can rent a house on your own, your father arranges for you to work as an executive director, and you can scrape together hundreds of thousands of dollars with your friends to make a movie -- no matter how you look at it, your life is far from hitting the street. Although he and his father seem to be having a hard time, Levi bets that the money will never be earned by little Levy alone.

Then there is an artist's pursuit, and you have a little bit of an artist's temperament!

Spit and complain, for his current identity, Levy is still quite satisfied. It seems that he is also a good filmmaker, and compared to the struggling living environment in his previous life, it is much better. After all, the second generation is the second generation, even if it is down, it still has good conditions.

After crossing by himself, whether it is the living conditions or the interpersonal relationships, it seems that they are better than before. Yesterday, Levi had been immersed in the excitement and confusion that he had just crossed, and now he was alone in his heart, and he was also thinking about what he should do in the future.

In the previous life, Levy basically had no qualifications to talk about dreams, but in this life, Levy has a lot of capital to dream, but he doesn't know how to dream. He has a good network of connections, which can be a paving stone on his way forward, he has memories of the future, knows the development direction of the film industry, and can make movies that people love. Even, he also knows that some industries will have unimaginable value in the future, it is now 96 years, and if he invests a little money, he can become a rich man in the future, and he has too many paths to choose from.

If that's the case...... Although I have nothing now, I have a good development path for my future self.

Maybe you should plan your own development path? It's 1996, so the era of blockbusters hasn't come yet, and the era of crazy development of movie special effects hasn't yet arrived, and you can take advantage of it. In 1996, not to mention the peak of hero movies, even the trough has not yet come, and in this regard, I have a chance to take advantage of it. The shooting of movies is like this, and the same is true of TV shows, in this era, pay stations are generally not developed, and you can catch up with the good time, and reality show-type programs have not yet developed, and you can also use them...... It's a pity that I don't know much about music, otherwise, there would be a lot to do.

And the question of making money...... Even if you don't mention the Asian financial crisis two years later, you at least know that now is the time when Internet technology is prevalent, as long as you are not stupid, you have heard of companies such as Yahoo and Google, and you know less, and it is not impossible to invest. What should I do and how should I do it? This is also something that Levy has been thinking about for a long time. And after thinking about it, he also thought about what he should do. He didn't want to go into business: firstly because he didn't understand, secondly because he didn't like it, and thirdly because it was too easy for him.

Back at his home, Levy had been thinking about these things until a knock interrupted his train of thought, and he noticed that it was already afternoon.

At this time, who will come?

"Nick, I was very busy yesterday and didn't go to the hospital to see you, and today I heard that you have returned, so I came directly to see you. It seems that you are recovering well, so I will be relieved...... My father told me that you owe a debt to others for making a movie, tell me the number, and I will send you the money. This money is from your father, you don't have to pay it back, but you have to be careful. Father can't fill holes for you every time. ”

After opening the door, the person outside the door had already pushed the door directly and broke in, and sat down directly on the sofa. This was a man who looked a few years older than Levy, and he looked a little like Levy, which made Levi know who he was almost immediately. Although this man has been babbling and accusing Levy since he entered the door, Levy ignored all the accusations in his words when he heard him say that he was here to give him money.

"Bruce, thank you for coming to see me." After knowing that the person in front of him was his brother, Levy also smiled and said hello.

Regardless of whether he was a brother or a friend before, and whether he had a relationship with this person or not, at least now he is here to send money, and he will have to beg him to do things in the future. Levy is not yet in the second middle school and can't listen to any accusations, so he interrupts the other party's eloquent conversation and doesn't let the other party continue.

His low profile made Bruce stunned for a moment, he looked his younger brother up and down, and then spoke, "No wonder my father said that your mood has changed a lot after committing suicide, let me be careful not to stimulate you, you really don't speak the same way as usual." Did your doctor prescribe you any medication? Are you taking tranquilizers now? ”

"Do you suspect that everyone who greets you well has taken their medicine?"

"No, I only doubt you, you are different from others." Bruce looked at Levy, a little puzzled, and a little observant continued, "If you don't take the medicine, it will be much easier." Now go and change your clothes, the two of us, we need to go out the door. ”

"Where to go?"

"I heard from my father that he arranged for you to shoot a TV series for ABC?" Bruce asked rhetorically.

"Yes."

"That's right. If you're filming a TV series, I'd like to introduce a few people to you. They may not be able to help you make a TV series, but when your TV series comes out, they may be able to say a few nice things or cover up your TV series. Bruce stood up and patted Levy on the shoulder, "You're finally a little more sensible now than you used to be, and you don't hold on to your boring indie movie dreams." Since you can compromise with your father, you can also compromise with me, right? Let me introduce you to a few people who will be very helpful for the future development of your career. ”

That's the main purpose of Bruce's visit.

Levy didn't know if it was Bruce's own meaning or Adam's meaning. However, no matter who it means, it is actually the same: they want Levy to get back on track and stop aggressively pursuing his own so-called independent film path, but to make good use of his family's connections and develop well in the industry. If the memory is good, Bruce inherited his father's unemployment and entered "Variety" magazine, but he did not have the same high status as his father, but was only the head of the film department of Variety. He said that the friends he introduced to him would definitely not be simple tabloid reporters, and these people were more likely to be his colleagues or industry elites of the same level as him.

And the evaluation of these people has a huge influence in Hollywood. It seems that his current background, although he is not the kind of big family that rivals the rich country, nor is he a powerful political dignitary, but he has a lot of influence.

This is indeed an asset.

"I'll clean up and come." Levy nodded, it's not a bad thing to know more people.

"It's amazing that in the past, you didn't want to go to church, let alone attend a banquet, and let you go to church with me. I knew that near-death experiences were so effective, and when you were young, I had a chance to start. ”

Li Wei walked into the bedroom to change clothes, and in the living room, Bruce was still chattering, "How about we go to church together next time?" There are also a lot of people out there that you should get to know, from investors to publishers - churches are one of our treasures, and you should check them out......"

"Will you talk about it next time?" Levy, who was inside the room, interrupted Bruce.

"Whatever you want, but you know the importance of these connections." Bruce agreed, and then he listened to what Levy had to say in the room, "What's the party today?" ”

"Oh, Oscar's pitch...... Dress a little more formally, and the scene is bigger. ”

The Oscars are about to be held...... Levy remembered that every February, on the eve of the Oscars, these critics are the most sought after, and it must work well to introduce yourself at this time.

"The pitch of the movie? Brave Heart? Thinking of the poster he had seen in the bar last night, Levy asked.

"No, I don't like Mel Gibson, that guy has anti-Semitic tendencies...... Tonight's presentation is a presentation of reason and emotion. That British movie, have you seen the original? Have you watched a classic British drama? That's fine, this drama is quite decent, you don't have to talk too much nonsense. ”

"Actually, I've seen the movie." Pushing open the bedroom door, Levy walked out, with a smile on his face, that smile, a kind of surprise, "I don't know if I've seen this one, I've seen the previous movies directed by Ang Lee." ”

"Those Chinese films? It was really unexpected. ”

There will be many more unexpected things. Levy smiled. He didn't expect that he would have such a good opportunity: going to the promotion meeting of Brave Heart and going to the promotion meeting of a movie directed by Ang Lee meant completely different opportunities for him!

"If you've seen it, it's easy to do. That way, you're not afraid to say the wrong thing, and I can introduce you better. Bruce nodded in satisfaction, he looked at Levy's outfit and straightened his tie before speaking again, "Nick, there's one more thing, I forgot to say when I entered the door just now: I'm glad you didn't have an accident." ”

"I'm also very tall, I didn't have an accident." Levi was stunned for a moment, but still hugged Bruce, "Now, I'm back, I couldn't be happier." ”
