Chapter 406: And Is This a Compliment?

After being decadent for many years, once he came back to work with top famous directors, Jimmy was finally no longer an alcoholic who no one cared about.

The social account that is as calm as backwater has more life, and there are some new fans, and there are also old fans from many years ago who are moved to leave messages, saying that they welcome him back and look forward to his new movie.

The entertainment industry is like this, it is inertia to praise the high and step on the low, not to mention that Jimmy is not a newcomer, he has actually had many excellent works, and his business ability is absolutely excellent.

As long as such a person can seize the opportunity, he may only need a movie to return to the top.

The heat is there, and there are more job opportunities.

Jimmy takes every job very seriously, and he knows how hard it is to get out of this difficult situation.

On talk shows and radio shows, he can already talk about his past in a mocking tone, and when asked about the opportunity for his comeback, he can also tell how Zhong Canaan helped him in a grateful tone.

There is also Yan Fuguang's kindness to him, and Jimmy is full of praise for Yan Fuguang on various occasions.

Jimmy gradually warmed up in the circle, not only did the announcements increase, but the scripts handed over more and more.

It is said that Hollywood welcomes the prodigal son to turn back, but at the same time, there are many people staring at you, especially if Jimmy has a criminal record.

In the past, even the paparazzi didn't even bother to photograph him for a long time, and now the paparazzi have begun to work on him.

However, as his popularity increased, the paparazzi became more and more intense.

One day, Jimmy found someone rummaging through the trash he had thrown away!

It's not like he's never heard of this kind of thing, but he never imagined that it would happen to him.

That person is still arrogant when he is arrested, what's wrong with turning over the garbage, who is in the way?

The paparazzi's purpose is obvious, they recognize that alcohol addiction is not so easy to quit, and they want to look in the trash can for any empty bottles that Jimmy threw away.

This is just one of the disgusting actions done by the paparazzi, and what is even more excessive is that as long as Jimmy goes out at night, there is a high probability that someone will follow him, and I want to see if he will go to the bar to get drunk.

Once Jimmy was at a party with friends, he was chased by the paparazzi after coming out of the restaurant, and Jimmy was careless and hit the car in front of him.

Although there were no casualties, the crash inevitably brought back memories of his first negative press exposure many years ago because of a drunk driving crash.

This rear-end collision is not unexpectedly in the news, and even if the results of the alcohol test are completely normal, all kinds of speculation are still emerging.

Originally, Jimmy's condition was not restored to the best, and during this time, the paparazzi were pressing forward step by step, which had made him extremely nervous, and the sudden car accident hit him hard.

Although he kept himself under control and did not seek solace from alcohol, depression and anxiety inevitably returned.

Jimmy wonders if he made the right step, and maybe he shouldn't have come back.

It may take three to five years to climb out of hell, but it may only take three to five days to fall back into infernal hell.

He had been taking the medicine prescribed by the psychiatrist, and the amount of medicine that had been gradually decreasing had to be increased again.

Even so, his condition did not improve.

He began to reject contact with the media, but there were a lot of jobs that had already been finalized and had to go.

His mental condition also affected his body, and Jimmy, who was not fit enough, quickly lost weight.

lost too much weight in a short period of time, and of course the outside world noticed Jimmy's situation, but fortunately, he took over a play before, and the character image was a thin man with a withered description, and he still had a reason to prevaricate.

But Jimmy knew exactly what he was in, and regret and fear were tugging at him repeatedly, about to tear him apart.

When Jimmy received the news that he was coming to Cannes, he was devastated, and the festival was a platform for dealing with the media, and he didn't know if he could handle it.

But Zhong Jianan is his benefactor, and "Amy's World" is also the result of the hard work of the entire crew for a long time, and his conscience makes him unable to refuse his obligations as an actor.

After arriving in Cannes, Jimmy gritted his teeth every day, but every time the reporter asked a question, turned off the lights and stabbed his eyes, it was an unbearable torment for him.

"Amy's World" is the key film of this year's Cannes, both the producer and the official attach great importance to this work, and all the main creative staff have a very tight schedule.

It may be a little hard and tiring for others, but this frequent contact with the media is Jimmy's nightmare, and he only feels that there is a rein in that is strangling his throat, getting tighter and tighter, and he is suffocating more and more.

The instinct to survive caused Jimmy to subconsciously look for anything that could save his life, and Yan Fuguang's several times of concern finally made him decide to ask her for help.

Maybe the memories of those months in South Africa are too good, maybe Yan Fuguang happened to be there when he was on the verge of collapse last time, his overgrown past has been exposed once, will there be another redemption like that day?

Jimmy doesn't know, and reality doesn't allow him to think about it so much, because he really can't hold on anymore and probably won't make it until the end of the festival.

Jimmy tentatively invited Yan Fuguang, but fortunately, Yan Fuguang did not refuse.

Originally, he wanted to find a quiet place to chat after watching "Spider", but he was chased and intercepted by reporters before he left the movie palace.

In a trance, he was taken to the sea by Yan Fuguang, which was far more secluded and relaxing than she expected.

Yan Fuguang is not a psychological counselor and will not diagnose Jimmy, but she knows very well that what Jimmy needs is not to crusade against unscrupulous media, or find someone to comfort him and pity him.

Perhaps what he needs most now is to withdraw, to talk about something else, and to stop pulling at thoughts that are about to become dead knots.

"I know why you're such a good actor."

The topic changed so abruptly that Jimmy was visibly stunned, and it took him a while before he followed Yan Fuguang's words and asked why.

"You're a good storyteller, whether it's describing your childhood or telling about your experiences over the past few months, you have a strong sense of substitution." Yan Fuguang said with a smile.

She spoke in such a casual tone that Jimmy was in a trance as to whether she was talking about her own painful and helpless childhood.

Even the psychiatrist couldn't help but comfort him, but Yan Fuguang didn't have it at all, as if this was a common thing in the world, she heard about it, and then accepted it very calmly.

Jimmy's greatest desire is this peace of mind.

Is that a compliment? Jimmy was suddenly embarrassed.

When he was young, some people often praised him for his good acting skills, but no one praised him for telling stories.

"Of course." Yan Fuguang's affirmation did not hesitate, "This role is not enough for you to play, I am looking forward to your next work." ”
