Chapter 1 A suicide note(1/2)
Lehman felt like he was about to die.
My whole body was in severe pain, and my head seemed to explode.
"It hurts so much." The pain kept coming.
Finally, the pain was relieved.
Lehman's Chaos brain also had a hint of clarity.
He slowly opened his eyes, and the affairs in front of him gradually became clear.
The shaky incandescent lamp on the ceiling spilled down weakly. The pale light made him dizzy, and he couldn't help but close his eyes and breathe in big mouthfuls.
But even so, the discomfort and pain from his body continued to torture him.
What's wrong with this?
Didn’t he invite a few buddies to sing on his birthday? Why did his body become like this?
He raised his arms and pinched his eyebrows with his fingertips a few times, trying to make his dizzy head clearer.
I opened my eyes again and saw all the miscellaneous things scattered in the room less than 20 square meters around me, which seemed to have been looted.
Looking up, there are triangular arched beams and a wooden window. The windows are closed.
This is not his home? Lehman stared blankly at the scene in front of him.
Immediately, he seemed to have thought of something.
He got up from the bed like crazy, looking for a mirror.
Finally, in a drawer in the room, I found a mirror the size of a palm.
Looking at the strange face that appeared in the mirror, Lehman suddenly felt like he was lost. That was not him.
The strange environment and the face he saw in the mirror that was completely different from him, he should have traveled through time.
From the mainland in 2020 to a ghost place where it was.
Inside, the heart is nothing but sadness, anger.
And this anger is intensifying.
"Tm's, xxxx..." A Duan Guoshu shouted as he roared.
"Bang!" It seemed particularly unhappy, and Leman clenched the fist of his right hand and slammed it hard on the floor.
The sound of thunder like plains is so pleasant in this quiet environment.
But the pain from the hands is not weak either.
The feeling of numbness came clearly from his right hand, and he could even feel the sharpness of his nails piercing into his palms and the discomfort of his finger bones.
Anger has no meaning except catharsis.
He still didn't return to a familiar place.
Soon, the slightly calmer Leman began to search for the information left by the original owner.
Finally, he noticed a piece of paper fixed to the wooden table with something written on it:
You should have found my body, Ryan. I have been taken care of by you all these days. I am really grateful. If possible, please tell my father the news of my death, and a cardboard box with a label in the corner of the study to him. I am very grateful.
This is actually a suicide note! And it was written in French.
After reading it, Lehman quickly went to the room next to find the cardboard box mentioned in the letter.
After opening it, another letter is on the top:
Please forgive my selfishness, Father, I have been hating you for so many years and blaming you for abandoning you, but now, I want to ask you to bury me next to my mother's grave after you learn about my death. She has always been lonely, and I want to accompany her, hoping to satisfy my wish.
......
In the carton, in addition to this letter, there is also a real estate transfer agreement about the house.
It is said that after the death of "Lehman Latters", the new owner of this house was Del Latters, who is the father he mentioned.
Sealing the cardboard box and putting it back in place, Lehman sat back on the bed when he woke up.
His thoughts were very confused at this time.
My brain kept flashing through some memories of my predecessor and those memories of my previous life.
The two sides were intertwined, which made him be tortured from the moment he woke up to now. The fact that he had to accept time travel was even more of what made Lehman crazy.
He was once a graduate of the directorship department of Beijing Film Academy. As soon as he entered society, he joined a crew as a photography assistant through his college connections.
After spending three years in the circle, I finally got a chance to direct.
Although there are many directors of that TV series and he is only responsible for some of the filming scenes, the first-hand coach still makes him extremely excited.
But the accident happened without warning.
He is just celebrating his birthday, which is his 27th birthday.
There was no shooting task the next day, and he also greeted the director, and everything was fine.
Why is this happening?
Lehman couldn't figure it out. He thought his life was beautiful and he didn't need to do it again.
But God just likes to joke, and it brought him to this place, a small town in Cannes, France.
Lehman, who blends the memories of his predecessor, is a little distressed.
This body has left too many messes.
He worked with his friend Ryan to shoot a movie some time ago, and the two of them spent a lot of money on it.
But the movie was shot but had problems with the release.
At the Cannes Film Festival, the movies that the two filmed were spotted by an international publisher.
The man said that the movie could be run to Hollywood because he had the channels.
The two of them could not accept this temptation and immediately decided to hand over the distribution rights of the movie to the company.
The man also made a very kind appointment to issue a contract and asked Lehman to sign it.
It guarantees the benefits they have as producers after the release of this movie.
The 20% profit share plus the copyright owner of the movie belongs to the Mann studio where Lehman and Ryan work together.
Lehman felt that it was fine and signed it happily.
But what happened later taught this young man who had just graduated from college.
The publisher named Miramax Pictures operated the movie to Hollywood as scheduled.
Although there are few theaters, there are only a few dozen.
But for Lehman, it is also a recognition.
He also ran to Los Angeles with Ryan and went to the cinema to watch his works.
But when the movie was off, they were going to Miramax Pictures to find the gentleman who bought the copyright.
However, I was told that the release income of this movie was a loss, not only did it have no profit, but it also included a lot of operating costs.
Lehman and Ryan need to use the relevant copyrights of the movie to make up for Miramax's losses, otherwise they will have to lose money.
There was no way, they had to sign another contract and handed over all copyrights of the movie to Miramax Pictures.
If it's just like that, then that's fine. It's just that their movies are not recognized by the market, and it's a matter of their abilities.
But later, the more I thought about it, the more I became, the more I was wrong, and Lehman consulted relevant people in the industry and found out that the issuance contract itself had problems and it was irregular.
There is neither the guaranteed issuance fee nor the purchase of early operation copyrights. Using subsequent benefits to pay for the early transaction link is a deception.
Lehmann, who learned the truth, was angry.
He ran to Los Angeles again to find the head of Miramax Films, the famous Harvey Weinstein in the circle.
But his ruthless words even hit Lehman's heart.
"The person you are talking about is from my company. Did he do anything wrong? If so, please find a court to decide all this."
Naturally, the court did not accept Lehman's lawsuit.
The contract was written clearly in black and white, and it also had the name signed by Lehman.
It is in accordance with the law and there is no error.
Back at his residence in Cannes, Lehman felt more annoyed the more he thought about it.
He failed the trust of his friend Ryan and devoted all the savings left by his mother to the movie.
He couldn't face all this.
This huge gap made the original owner of this body choose to die.
That night, I committed suicide by taking medicine.
