Chapter 343: The more painful it is, the more addicted it is
Jimmy's father is a screenwriter, and although he hasn't written many famous works, he is also a little famous in Hollywood, and the ratings of several American dramas he has participated in writing are not bad.
That's why Jimmy was able to act in movies at the age of five, and his father's connections exposed him to the industry from an early age and made everyone aware of his talent in theater.
Jimmy's career started off to a rough start, and his career as a child star also allowed him to realize his talent step by step.
Jimmy is not the most handsome in terms of appearance, but his audience has always been good, although Jimmy was only a young man in his twenties when he was nominated for the Oscar, most viewers think he deserves it.
Since he was a child, his career has been smooth sailing, and he has been called a lucky boy in Hollywood by the media more than once.
This is the Jimmy Kenchi in the eyes of the public before the drunk driving scandal broke out.
Many people think that Jimmy accidentally drove drunk because of a drunken Hollywood fan, but as long as he admits his mistakes and corrects them, he is still the promising movie genius.
But after Jimmy's frequent news of alcoholism and trouble, everyone realized that another Hollywood rising star was quietly falling.
A lot of people can't figure out why Jimmy is willing to fall for himself, but it's only been a few days since he sighed, and people have seen too much of this kind of news.
Maybe it's pressure, or maybe it's succumbing to lust, there's no shortage of addicts in Hollywood, and Jimmy Kenchi is just one of them.
When he gradually disappeared from public view, no one cared who he used to be and why he had fallen to this, at most he secretly said a pity when he mentioned him.
This is also the version that Yan Fuguang heard before, and now the story behind the scenes has only surfaced for the first time.
"The first time I drank alcohol was when I was six years old......"
Jimmy's voice has calmed down a lot, but his story is very different from the word flat.
One night many years ago, when Jimmy was a child, he took a sip of white wine out of curiosity, and then happened to be seen by his father.
But Kenci Sr., who was the father, not only did not take away the wine from his son's hand, but instead mixed a large glass of Sprite with him as a drink.
Jimmy was only 6 years old when his father seduced him to taste what he hated most in his life.
Kenci Sr. is a complete addict, he is a screenwriter at work, which is one of the few times when he is in his right mind, and when he is not working, he is a madman who is infinitely ravaged by alcohol and drugs.
Jimmy thought that Sprite's "drink" was delicious, and Kenchi Sr. often fed him a drink, at first mostly Sprite, and later a whole glass of wine.
As for Jimmy's mother, he died as early as when he was 5 years old, and the cause of death was suffocation after being drunk, and even died with a big/hemp in his hand.
"I grew up in a family where everyone was an addict."
Although Jimmy tried his best to hide it, Yan Fuguang could still hear the tremor in his breath.
Jimmy closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself.
"My dependence on alcohol is like the barrel of a gun that likes the smell of bullets, and I've been addicted to alcohol since I was a few years old, and by the time I realized it, it was too late."
Alcohol had made him forget a lot of things, but there were some images that he still remembered.
When Kenci Sr. handed over the sweet "drink", the smile on his face might be called love?
"Alcohol became the only connection between me and my father, it seemed like the only thing that my father knew that could show me love."
Jimmy's childhood memories have been haunted all his life, and he moved out of his father's house at the age of 16, but even that hasn't cut off his dependence on alcohol.
Jimmy has been well disguised, his acting career is thriving, he is in high spirits on the stage of the Golden Globes to say his acceptance speech, striding on the Oscar red carpet to be noticed by the world......
But behind the glamorous, no one knows that he has to rely on alcohol to sleep every night.
Jimmy had thought that he would be like this for the rest of his life, and since he couldn't quit, there was nothing wrong with getting drunk and dreaming of death.
He thought less and less about his father, and even rarely visited him as an adult, but what he didn't expect was that he would soon hear news of his father, and this time it was his death.
The cause of death of Kenci Sr. is not uncommon in the United States, two full days have passed since an overdose of aspirin after drinking, which caused massive bleeding in the digestive tract.
Jimmy thought he wouldn't be sad, he thought he would feel relieved, but he didn't.
He has long since lost his mother, and his father is his only relative.
After Kench Sr. left, Jimmy often wondered if his father loved him as a father loved his own children.
He didn't know, maybe it was love......
Unfortunately, not everyone is qualified to be a parent, and not everyone is capable of raising offspring.
After learning of his father's death, Jimmy made up his mind to quit drinking for a while, but the double entanglement of will and memories made him never see any hope of success.
Kenci Sr.'s death hit Jimmy far more than he could have imagined, and not only did he fail to quit drinking, but he got lost in the vortex of alcohol deeper and deeper until he was caught drunk driving.
Strangely, it was only after his alcoholism was exposed that he finally realized the relief he had been seeking.
No more pretending to be nothing, no more playing in the spotlight as a Hollywood star that the masses expect, he's just a rotting piece of garbage inside and out, all the time has been.
He doesn't need the pity of the world, so Jimmy doesn't say a word about his past.
Sinking pained him, but the more he suffered, the more he sank.
Jimmy indulges himself even more, not knowing whether he is punishing his dead parents or himself.
Zhong Jianan has known Jimmy for a long time, and after the Oscars that year, Jimmy was originally going to shoot Zhong Canaan's new film, but who knew that Jimmy had a drunk driving scandal.
Zhong Jianan did not give up the choice of actor for the first time, he didn't know that Jimmy had been entangled with demons all year round, thinking that he had just done something wrong because he couldn't accept the blow of his father's death for a while.
He went to Jimmy himself, hoping that Jimmy would adjust his condition, and his favorite actor would always be the same.
It's a pity that Jimmy wasted this opportunity in the end.
Zhong Jianan admires Jimmy very much, although it is a pity, but this time it will not work and there will be a next time, and he is looking forward to the two of them working together in the future.
What I didn't expect was that Jimmy was in a state of collapse from then on.
As a friend, Zhong Canaan said that he was not sad was false, and he visited him many times, but Zhong Canaan could not do anything about Jimmy's depravity.
After that, Jimmy's friends stayed away one by one, but Zhong Canaan still remembered it and occasionally went to see him.
No one knows that such a talented actor may die drunk at home one day, Zhong Jianan couldn't bear it, and he took advantage of Jimmy's sober time to say a word to him-
If you can quit drinking, we'll work together again.
