[European style] The truth

From: Michael Anguill

"That's all Luka told me." After the narration, the black-haired young man spoke softly, took a sip of water from the glass to moisten his throat.

"Thank you for your statement," I said. "Thanks to you, I know most of what I know about Mr. Coster."

"I think you should ask Mr. Letts, he is the one who knows Luca best." Daniel Bridges looked at me with his clear light blue eyes, revealing sincere emotions, which convinced him The advice never hurts.

But interviewing Daniel Letts was no easy task.As far as I know, since Lucas Coster's suicide, hundreds of journalists have rushed to interview him, but he has not accepted a single one.I asked my boss, Mr. McCawlane, for help. After thinking for a while, he replied: "It's very difficult. Daniel Letts' agent said that they would refuse any kind of interview. Mike, please use the information you have collected so far to write an essay. article, maybe it will work. I trust your level of organized vocabulary."

So I racked my brains, typed those letters on the computer day and night, and after a million revisions, I finally pieced together a report with acceptable content, titled: "The Relief of a Melancholic Poet - Lucas Behind Coster's Death".Maybe God approves of my hard work in the past month, so this article of mine has achieved unprecedented success in my life-thousands of fans and people in the industry called the newspaper office, telling their shock after reading with a sigh.Every main character in the interview: Larry Dance, Ashley Kaufman, John Proulx, Danny Bridges, and of course the protagonist of the event, Lucas Coster, All once again caught in the center of the storm of public opinion.Their buzz is high, which happens to be free publicity for their upcoming film.

Bitter Winter, Lucas Coster's posthumous film, premiered on February 2, a month after the interview was sent out.In this film, he plays Nick, a Boston-born Irishman.His parents are both fanatical Catholics, who strictly abide by the teachings everywhere, conservative and strict.Sadly, Nick is born gay - which means he has to hide his true sexuality at all times.He works like an ordinary person, associates with gay people like an ordinary friend, and even marries and has children like an ordinary heterosexual... Finally, on the day of his 20th birthday, he could no longer endure this painful and depressing loss. True to my life, I chose to commit suicide by swallowing a gun.

Mr. Coster's performance in it is real and wonderful. It can even be said that he is the sad Nick in the story.After the film ended, like many movie viewers, I couldn’t calm down for a long time. I sat in the same place and quietly watched the black screen with the credits and credits scrolling along with the ending song.The lights in the theater came on, and I noticed that sitting next to me was a young man wearing a peaked cap. The brim of his cap was pulled down so low that his face could not be seen clearly.But judging from the exposed parts, the boy has brilliant blonde hair and a beautiful facial contour.

It wasn't until the subtitles were played that I stood up and prepared to leave.

"Hi, excuse me." I said softly to the young man beside me, motioning him to give me a little space to take a step.

And he was obviously immersed in his own thinking world. After hearing my words, his whole body trembled. He suddenly raised his head and glanced at me. He was stunned for a second before answering: "Sorry, okay."

When he raised his head to reveal his true face, I was also stunned.

"Dan, Daniel Letts..." I murmured his name, and it took me a while to react, and I immediately reached out to shake him, and at the same time took out my business card from my bag, "Hello, I'm Michael Anguill of the New York Daily News."

"Hello," he said, taking my card and scanning it, repeating my name and title, "New York Daily News...Michael Anguill...you wrote that article? That article Article about Luca."

"Yes." I replied timidly.In fact, I'm terribly afraid of him asking this question because I didn't interview him personally, and if the article offends him in any way, maybe he'll sue me for defamation and my career will be over!So I took the initiative to apologize, "I'm very sorry, if there is any part of my imagination in the article, you can point it out at will, and I will correct the mistake immediately."

"No, you write very well." To my surprise, he gave me a friendly smile, "Would you like to have a cup of coffee together?"

I never dreamed that one day I would sit down for coffee face to face with the legendary Daniel Letts whom I usually only see on TV.My sister Amy would be mad with jealousy if she found out - she's a huge fan of his.

"So you interviewed four of them in a row? You are such a dedicated reporter. I haven't met such a hard-working young reporter for a long time."

"Yes, but I don't know much, just trying my best to bring it all together and weave it into a story." I answered truthfully.

"Of course, you lack the testimony of a key witness." Daniel Letts took a sip of coffee, and then looked at me with his big light blue pure eyes, and this scene seemed familiar—— A Danny had eyes exactly like his.After a while, he spoke again, and said word by word, very solemnly and seriously, "Next, I will tell you with my own mouth, the truth about all the remaining things that they don't know."
