64 Chapter 64 Dont be too serious (seeking recommended collection) (1/2)
Chicago, a city located in Illinois, is one of the most famous international financial centers in the world and the third largest city in the United States after New York and Los Angeles.
This city is the home of the Bulls, and it is also the headquarters of Harp, which produced the ”Oprah Talk Show”.
After getting off the plane, Lyman and his party checked into a hotel in the city center under the arrangement of Paramount Pictures.
Putting down the luggage and finding the door, the team declared disbanded.
Now, go there where you want to play, because ”Oprah Talk Show” will not be recorded until Wednesday afternoon, and it is only Tuesday, and there is still more than half a day to give everyone the opportunity to visit the city.
It's a pity that everyone in this room is unfamiliar with life, even if you want to go out to play, you don't know where to play.
In the end, it was George who came forward.
He has been to Chicago before, but he also knows which attractions are acceptable.
So the group followed George to the Navy Pier.
Although the name of Navy Pier sounds a bit inferior, don't be fooled by the appearance.
In fact, this is not just a pier. There are also a series of sightseeing facilities on the pier, such as parks, shops, bars, and museums.
After walking for most of the day and feeling a little tired, Lehman leaned on the railing on the shore of the Navy Pier, blowing the breeze from Lake Michigan, looking up at the blue sky and the clear lake in the distance. Everything is so beautiful. People feel unconsciously relaxed.
”The scenery is so fascinating. A few months ago, I didn't think I would be here now.” Ryan also walked over and said with emotion.
”Well, I never thought about it either.”
Ryan glanced at Lehman suddenly and asked a little strangely: ”We succeeded like this. Are we successful?”
”It depends on your definition of success.”
”Isn't George saying yesterday that the box office in France has already passed 30 million, plus the box office performance of the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and other places, it should be very simple to break 100 million.” Ryan looked at the blue sky with white clouds. Unbelievably shook his head, and said: ”Also, even the Oprah talk show invited us to participate. Doesn't this prove our success. The film broke 100 million, really, a bit crazy.”
”Are you worried about what?” This state is not like the usual Ryan.
”It's just a bit illusory, a bit unreal.” Ryan tried to say, ”I can't even sleep well these days, I always feel like I'm floating high in the air, and I don't feel at ease.”
Lehman turned his head, looked at Ryan, and joked with a smile: ”Could it be that this sudden wealth has fascinated your eyes, ask me to say, Ryan, this is not like you.”
”I haven't seen money, how could it be possible.” Ryan flushed, and hurriedly retorted.It was a bit embarrassing for him to be poked at the bottom of his heart.
Every midnight, thinking that their movie has broken 100 million, he feels very dreamy.
”Have you ever seen a scene where you spend a lot of money in a gambling-gaming, a moment of heaven, a moment of hell, I think making a movie is like a gambling-gaming, the way forward is unknown, no one knows, the next moment, what you encounter is Heaven is still hell, so don’t think about it, we just won it once by chance, it’s nothing.”
”Remember the logo of our studio? The butterfly that emerged from its cocoon. It is so beautiful, so beautiful that everyone can't help but be attracted by its flawless body. If such a butterfly really exists in the real world I think many people will admire it. If it has thoughts, it will feel unique and be the darling of the world.”
”But if it continues to indulge in this taste, it will not recognize its own situation, will get lost, and will eventually be swallowed by the light.”
”Occasionally, someone will remember that there used to be a butterfly that was very beautiful when it danced, but where is it now?”
”This is the cruelty of reality. There are so many beautiful things in the world, coming and going in a hurry. We are like the butterfly now, held high by people, and the flying posture is extraordinarily powerful, but if there is no self-knowledge , We won’t be any better than that butterfly’s end.”
”Ryan, don't indulge in the past, the past is over.”
Seeing Ryan on the side plunged into thinking, Lyman sighed silently in his heart. He didn't expect that when he would have to enlighten others.
Back then, when he was a set assistant, the TV series he shot was broadcast on the TV station. The ratings were very good, and he was ranked third at the same time. He was very excited and felt that with this qualification, he could almost make his mark.
But the result is that he still polished on the set for three years before he was able to get the opportunity of an assistant director and the right to direct the camera crew.
