While Lara Croft in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider has become her trademark, Catwoman is still striving to prove that she can play a variety of roles, and The So-Called Life is her attempt - Lannie is Seattle. A TV host, known to the public for hosting life programs. As a public figure, Lanny strives to make her life healthy and perfect.
She keeps exercising every day; gets along well with her boss on TV and becomes best friends with her work partner; her boyfriend Carl, a famous baseball player, lives in a luxurious and comfortable apartment where everything is in order .
A successful career, superior living conditions, impressive social status, and the dazzling light of stars. These are all Lannie's dreams in her youth. Through her own efforts, she is approaching her goal step by step, and she knows everything in front of her. For her, everything was hard-won.
Now, the chance seemed to come to her eyes again.
As ABC's morning show in New York prepares to launch a new anchor and is scouting for talent everywhere, Lanie gets a recommendation from her immediate boss, Dennis.
In order to better grasp this chance, Lanie had to temporarily cooperate with the offbeat cameraman Pete in the stage, and try to learn camera technology from him, because he has worked in New York for six years and is familiar with the way of working there. It's not the first time Lanie has worked with Pitt. In their previous jobs, they had many conflicts and had deep prejudice against each other.
At the very beginning of this collaboration, Pete, who couldn't stand Lanny's pretentious attitude in front of the camera, made a big joke with her, causing Lanny's changed voice to come through the microphone.
And that's not all, in an interview that follows, Lannie's doom really begins.
A street prophet, after making predictions for two football teams' games, told Lanny that there would be a hailstorm the next day, and then casually said something important to Lanny - you will be next Thursday die.
Lannie didn't care at the time, but the first two prophecies were fulfilled one by one, and she began to feel a little panic.
Lannie went to the hospital for a comprehensive examination of her body, and there was no indication that she had any incurable disease. Friends and family also laughed at the prophecy. She found Pete and asked him about the prophet. Pete told her that the man's name was Jack, a homeless man who often slept in the alleys of a certain neighborhood.
Late at night, Lannie had trouble falling asleep. She called her boyfriend Carl to complain about her distress, but she didn't get the comfort she wanted. Thinking of Pete's introduction, Lanie simply went to Jack directly, hoping that he could take back his death prophecy.
Instead of retracting the almost damning prophecy, Jack told Lanney a new disaster forecast - an earthquake in San Francisco at 9:06am the next morning .
The disaster was spoken by Jack again. Lanny became more and more convinced that she really didn't have a few days to live. She found Pete with the last hope, to hear him admit that it was all a prank, but Pete vehemently denied the possibility. He persuaded Lanny to change herself completely and become another fresher and more lovely Lanny, because Jack's prediction was for this Lanny.
Lanny followed Pete's advice, and she completely disrupted her rigorous life and became disheveled. After Karl came back from New York, he also broke up with Lanny because of her change.
Lannie lost her usual order and lost herself. She anesthetized herself in the bar and almost missed the interview the next day.
It was that interview with the street strike that unintentionally led her to create a new Lannie style. Her civilian attire, her passionate engagement, and her brilliant improvisations made the show so lively and unique that ABC immediately invited her to join. At this time, Lanny was drunk and waking up in Pitt's apartment. She saw mixed comments from other TV station colleagues on the TV news. Lanny, who regarded her public image as life, did not dare to go back to work for a while.
Pete also didn't go to work in order to be with Lanny. He deliberately picked himself up with his ex-wife's son Tommy, and the three spent a carefree day together.
Pete's optimistic attitude towards life deeply infects Lanny, who seems to have found a long-lost relaxation and happiness.
Regardless of the prophecy, the work must go on.
When Lanny appeared on the TV the next day, her colleagues threw a surprise party for her, and she learned that she had already got a job at ABC and had to rush to New York that day to prepare for the next day, which was Thursday. Morning news broadcast. In the program, she will interview the famous former female anchor Deborah.
An ecstatic Lanny was the first to tell Pete the good news, but his response was tepid because he didn't want to go back to New York with Lanny, where he had a job he loved and his lovely son. Angrily, Pete approached Jack the Prophet and asked him why he told him that Lanie wouldn't get the job in the first place. In fact, Pete has always been in love with Lanny, and has been unable to express it. Now that the love has just progressed, Lanny is leaving.
Shocked by Jack's answer, he reminds Pete that the next day is Thursday, the day Lannie will die, and from that perspective, she certainly won't get the job.
The question of death was finally brought to the fore. Pete called Lanie to tell her not to take the plane, in case of a plane crash; but Lanie was already on board. After the thunder and lightning, the plane landed safely. Pete was on his last flight of the day, also to New York, where he was going to be with Lanie to keep her safe on the day of death.
The huge surprise of getting a job dilutes Lanny's fear of death. The interview with her childhood idol, Deborah, made Lanny understand what is the most important thing in life. What she can't miss is not a chance to achieve a career. , but the one you love. As always, Lannie knew what she wanted.
Having successfully completed her first interview on the ABC, Lannie walked out of the radio building. She was going back to Seattle, back to Pete. Just then, she was unfortunately shot by a bullet from a street shootout.
Pete was guarding Lanie, it was early Friday morning, Lanie opened her eyes, she has not been deprived of life !
Maybe Jack's prophecy has another meaning. The original ambitious Lannie has really died. The new Lannie is like a weed, exuding a charming fragrance and exuberant life force.
Sometimes prophecies speak of the true meaning of life.
