MTL - Movie Master-Chapter 12 3 deaths
"Of course, you're right." Lance's words made George breathe a sigh of relief.
Although Lance didn't do anything special, George could feel the invisible pressure. He couldn't explain it clearly. There was even a thin layer of sweat on his back. This feeling really hasn't been seen for a long time. Several times, George had the illusion that he was talking to a big shot like Barry Meyer, but in the blink of an eye, he saw clearly that it was Lance in front of him—Lance with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and a smile in his eyes. Holding the fragile Lance, Lance without any attack power.
George thought it must be because he didn't sleep well last night.
"It's not okay to start with Africa, but it's a good choice to start with South America." Lance just paused for a moment, then nodded his chin solemnly and said, but the understatement was in George's ear The thunder exploded directly, and the ups and downs of the roller coaster experience directly choked all of George's voices and reactions, but Lance didn't seem to notice George's strangeness at all, and fell into his own In his thoughts, "Mario Vargas Llosa, García Márquez, Jorge Borges... There are so many outstanding literary works born on the South American continent, I feel very Worth digging for."
After George's awakening, Lance really became interested, because he clearly knew that in 2015, African movies were still dead, and that land was always tormented by wars and disasters, which made people sigh; However, South American films have risen strongly. Argentina, Brazil, and Chile have produced many excellent films, and Mexican film talents have become a force that Hollywood cannot ignore.
In his last life, he didn't read that contract carefully; maybe after careful examination, he might actually be able to discover something.
Lance raised his head to look at George, with a hint of confidence and firmness slowly overflowing from between his brows, "Maybe this can be a starting point for me to start again, right?" Lance's blue eyes were twinkling with stars, As if a dolphin leaped gently above the deep and vast sea, he looked at George intently and sincerely, as if seeking George's affirmation.
At this moment, George was choked, his mind was in a mess, he didn't know how to react, he couldn't make a sound, he could only force a smile, then nodded in a panic, trying to play well. The character of a best friend.
Lance turned a blind eye to George's embarrassment, and the smile in his eyes spread to the corner of his mouth like starlight, "I knew you would support me." Lance patted George's shoulder lightly, and the cheerful emotion seemed to make the air Lighten up, "Thank you, my friend, thank you!"
George had the urge to vomit blood at this moment!
In the previous two weeks, he had spent countless efforts laying the groundwork, allowing Lance to develop according to his vision, and painted a magnificent blueprint for New York. Next, he just needs to give up the right to adapt these works, and it will be a matter of course. At that time, Lance will truly cut off all ties with Diorama Pictures.
But what's going on now? Why did things take a turn for the worse? Why did the painting style change? This is completely contrary to what he expected!
In fact, George felt that Ryan's move was superfluous, because even if those novels were adapted into movies, it would be impossible to succeed, but Ryan insisted that Lance must not be left with any chance of resurgence. Deep down, George also knew that Ryan was still scared. Even if he didn't admit it, no one could deny Lance's outstanding vision in selecting works. This is also an important reason why Diorama Films can develop so quickly. So, George ended up on the same side as Ryan.
But now things are getting trickier.
Lance has already made a decision. If George continues to sing the opposite tune and insist on persuading the transfer of these copyrights to Diorama Pictures, then Lance will definitely become suspicious. Once Lance sees through George and Ryan's behind-the-scenes deeds, things will be difficult in the future, and this is the real gain outweighs the loss.
George knew that the future would be long, and he couldn't be found out so quickly, he had to stay by Lance's side.
Thinking of this, George quickly made a decision. He swallowed the mouthful of old blood that had already poured into his mouth, and showed a big smile, "Of course, this is my task. You know, no matter when , I am your unswerving supporter, as long as you want, just let it go."
"Of course!" Lance gave George a thumbs up with his right hand. The expression on his face faded away bit by bit, revealing the long-lost confidence and brilliance, and the trust that George was familiar with flashed in his deep eyes. and rely on. Fortunately, I responded in a timely manner and survived this crisis without being seen by Lance, which made George breathe a sigh of relief.
It's just... Looking at Lance's smile, what's the matter with this indescribable feeling of aggrieved?
George silently clenched his fists in his heart, and finally couldn't bear it any longer. He turned his head and looked forward, raised his chin and pointed to the pastor who was walking forward, and said in a low voice, "Look, the pastor has already Get ready, the funeral is about to begin." After finishing speaking, George stopped waiting for Lance's response, closed his mouth, and looked ahead intently, as if the funeral in front of him was a wonderful opera performance .
Lance slowly moved his gaze away from George, and also looked into the distance. The days to come are long, and there is still a lot of time to settle the debt between him and George. Today is just the beginning. At least, George did a good thing today, reminding Lance of the adaptation rights of those novels. Perhaps, this trivial matter can really be the key to his comeback.
Withdrawing all his thoughts, Lance gradually calmed down, listening to the pastor's eulogy in front of him, listening to Becky Blair's grief-stricken eulogy, the turmoil, surprise, and race against time since his rebirth all disappeared. For the first time, Lance Really get quiet and examine your past, your present, and your future.
"The fact is that we all long to be remembered, hope that we can become an irreplaceable part of history, and hope that our names will be extolled by future generations. Even if we leave this world, this world still has traces of us. But Ka Rael said that no one can live forever.
He said that a person will experience three deaths in his life. The first time is when he dies, from a physiological point of view, he is dead; the second time is when he is buried, and people come to his funeral to remember him From a sociological point of view, he died; the third time was when the last person who remembered him forgot him. From an emotional point of view, he really died.
Therefore, Karel said that he does not need many admirers and admirers, and he does not want to be an immortal great man. He only hopes to have one—the only one who can remember him forever. He told me he was lucky because he found it. "
When Betsy finished speaking, she stood by the coffin sobbing uncontrollably, and almost couldn't even stand still, and finally she survived fainting under the support of the pastor. Lance quietly looked at Becky under the sun, his eyes slowly moved to the coffin next to him, and there was a touch of bitterness in his eyes.
Maybe Karel has seen through all of this. Even at his funeral, the people present have their own purposes. Many people regard this funeral as another social platform instead of really coming to mourn his death. Luckily for Karel, at least Betsy was by his side.
Once, he had a chance to change his life. However, he was too self-righteous, naive and stupid at the time, thinking that it was so easy to make achievements and create history; once, he thought that dreams were better than everything, and with a boiling enthusiasm, he bowed his head and moved forward without hesitation Chong, just relying on the belief of dreams can illuminate the whole world. However, he was too dazed and ignorant, and too ignorant of people, not only ignored the executioner who cut the rope of his life, but even regarded the accomplice as his best friend.
So, he missed it.
When he really understood it, it was too late. Diorama Films had already become the backbone of Hollywood's first-tier production companies, and George Clooney had also become a top figure in the Hollywood pyramid. He was not able to fight against them alone The—actually, let alone the confrontation, all they needed was a lip service to make his New York acting career languishing and dark.

Karel's funeral not only buried an outstanding director, but also buried a passionate, kind and sincere soul, as well as those dreams and beliefs.
After the funeral, Lance stepped forward again, gave Becky a hug, and sent his blessings, and then slowly left the cemetery along the crowd.
Lance looked back at the cemetery again. The coffin had been put into the tomb, and the surrounding crowd had all dispersed, leaving Becky standing alone by the tomb with her hands tightly wrapped around her chest, wreaking havoc. Shattered in the gust of wind. Lance knew that at least he had another chance to rewrite his life and change his ending. At the end of his third life, what would it be like when his funeral came?
