To be honest, Leonardo was really scared at first.

He didn't expect his disguise to be so unbearable, so that he would be recognized at a glance, although "Titanic" hit one miracle after another at the box office, but you must know that street performers in general, especially those who like psychedelic rock, are quite dismissive of romance movies.

Such a person must not know me.

With this in mind, Leonardo came over with great interest and accosted a sentence.

However, the idea was beautiful, but the reality hurt him very much, and before he could say the second sentence, his identity was recognized by the other party.

"Haha, could it be that God heard my call and parachuted you directly."

Listening to the triumphant self-talk of the man in front of him, Leonardo remembered that the man in front of him did call his name inexplicably after singing, could it really be that God guided him over?

For devout Christians, anything that cannot be explained must be true as long as it has to do with God. Therefore, Leonardo automatically regarded it as God's intention to send a man to talk to him.

"Well, sir, that's right, I'm Leonardo, so please don't break my identity in this kind of place."

Since it was a meeting arranged by God, and he was still recognized, Leonardo generously admitted his identity, but he still reminded the other party in a low voice not to expose his identity in such a public place.

He was afraid that the guy in front of him, who looked like his fan, would be excited for a while, and he would point at himself and shout at that point, and then he would be in trouble, knowing that there were so many passers-by coming and going on Melrose Street, he didn't want to spend the whole day signing autographs and group photos.

"No, no."

Hearing Leonardo say this, Xiansen hurriedly shook his hand, and finally caught the person, he would not be stupid enough to attract a group of onlookers.

"Leo, there are a lot of people here, I want to find a place to talk to you."

"Let's talk?"

Leonardo looked at the man in front of him suspiciously, then waved his hand and said bluntly:

"Sir, I don't know you, I guess. Besides, I don't think there should be much to talk about in depth between us. ”

With that, Leonardo turned around and was about to leave.

"Leo, what I'm going to talk to you about is a big thing, a big thing about other people's lives."

For being rejected, Xiansen actually expected it a long time ago, after all, he went to talk to a stranger for no reason, this is not called kindness, this is called lack of heart, so in order to keep Leonardo, Xiansen then added.

"There is a man's life, only you can save him!"

Sure enough, Leonardo was obviously shocked after hearing Xiansen's two words, and one foot was raised in the air for a long time without falling.

What has to do with someone else's life, and only you can save it? What could it be?

Out of moral considerations, Leonardo decided to believe in the strange man once, after all, this is what God guided him over, if there is such a thing, and he chooses to ignore it, he will definitely be condemned by his conscience in the future.

"You'd better not lie to me."

Turning around and looking into Xiansen's eyes, Leonardo spat out word by word.

"Well, so, let's find a quiet place to talk."

Xiansen made a gesture of please, snapping his fingers in satisfaction after seeing Leonardo nod.

Seven Chinese restaurants, the main store in Arcadia.

In a small box made of a bamboo house, Xiansen and Leonardo were sitting facing each other, with a pot of fragrant tea and several delicate small porcelain cups placed between them.

"Mr. Mister, I wonder if you can tell me what the hell is going on now?"

On the way here, Xiansen had already introduced himself, so as soon as he entered the box, Leonardo couldn't wait to ask.

"Leo, don't worry, Huaxia people pay attention to calmness when talking about things, so let's drink tea first."

Picking up the purple clay pot on the table that he found from the stall, Xiansen poured the cups of the two people to the brim, and the tea was fragrant, fresh and sultry.

"Mr. Mister, since it is related to other people's lives, I think we should hurry up and discuss it and call 911."

Leonardo was not in the mood to enjoy a leisurely cup of tea here, and when he saw Xiansen smelling the tea in the cup with taste, he swore that if the bastard in front of him could not justify himself in the end, he would definitely let this product taste the fate of a liar.

"Leo, do you know why your Beach failed?"

Putting down the cup, taking a deep sip of the aroma, Xiansen asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with it.

"Why did it fail?"

Hearing this, Leonardo was stunned.

This is the first person to say to his face that the movie "The Beach" is a failure.

"Leo, you heard me right, I'm talking about failure."

Xiansen took a sip of tea and continued: "Some people may think that this movie is a literary film, and the audience is too niche; Some people may say that the people of Thai environmental groups are too small-bellied, which has affected international distribution. However, I would like to say that all this is just a cover for the failure of the film. It's just a fig leaf. ”

Perhaps the words were too intense, and as soon as Xiansen's words fell, he saw Leonardo stand up from the ground.

"Failure? No, no, no, I never thought the film was a failure. Do you know how much I paid for this movie? Do you know how hard I worked for this film? Do you know how important the meaning of the film is? ”

Calming down, Leonardo continued: "If you came to me to talk about this movie, then I'm sorry, I think it's time for me to leave. ”

With that, Leonardo walked briskly towards the exit of the box, he wanted to leave the place as soon as possible.

"Ask yourself, Leo, do you really think this movie didn't fail?"

Seeing Leonardo's reaction, Xiansen did not stop there, but asked him unrelentingly.

"Shut up!"

It seemed to be angry and unwilling, Leonardo's tone was mixed with a lot of different emotions.

"Leo, a lot of effort does not mean the success of this movie, a lot of effort does not mean the success of this movie, and wanting to perform well does not mean the success of this movie. The success of the movie comes from the market, from the box office, and from the audience's evaluation. And these three points all prove how failed "The Beach" is. ”

Xiansen's voice was sincere, he shook his head, and continued: "Leo, you are a genius actor, you can't let the emotional gap sway your judgment. ”

After hearing Xiansen's words, Leonardo, who had already walked to the door, turned around, lowered his head lonely, and muttered to himself: "I just want to do better." ”

"Leo, you're a genius, trust me, the failure of Beach is not your failure, your achievements definitely don't stop at Jack, you can go further."

Speaking of excitement, Xiansen clenched his fists fiercely.

"Going further?"

Leonardo slowly raised his head, looked into Xiansen's eyes, and the corners of his mouth gradually arced.

"Yes, I could have done better!"

"Ding! The task [The Heart Disease of the Noble Son] has been completed, and the player Xiansen is congratulated on getting a chance to win a lottery. ”

Two voices sounded in his ears at the same time, and Xiansen couldn't help but smile.

"Leo, if one day I'm going to make a movie, I'll have you the leading actor!"

After drinking all the tea in the cup, Xiansen gave Leonardo a thumbs up.

"Haha, Mister, if you're going to make a movie, I'll definitely join unconditionally!"

Leonardo, who was infected, also added heroically.

Now he feels that he is much more relaxed than before.

In the past, he cared too much about the movie "The Beach", which he had poured countless efforts into, and the failure of reality made him completely unable to bear the conceit and pride, in order to hypnotize himself, he even went to the White House to promote environmental protection, all of this he did was actually just to find an acceptable reason for his failure, until today, this excuse was ruthlessly pierced in the face by Xiansen.

Only then did he feel a sense of relief, and he felt that it was not so terrible to face failure.

"Thank you, Mister."

I sincerely thanked him.

"But I still want to ask, what are the life-related events you are talking about?"

"Haha, if you don't come with me, I'm going to fight with someone, do you think it's a matter of a person's life?"

Xiansen laughed out loud and gave the reason he had already thought of.

"Desperate? And with whom? ”

"Richard Kelly."
