[US Entertainment] Wild Child

Leonardo was scrolling an entertainment magazine in his hand, and happened to turn to a page with Sam Brook, probably attending an event.He has a cute little face, with innocence and purity in his beautiful gray-blue eyes, and his chubby cheeks are lovable.The serious appearance in a small suit really makes people want to hug him and kiss him.

With Toby by his side, the two of them went to see the street dance troupe fight with people.

Street dance troupes have their own names, which sound like gangsters. A few years ago, Leonardo thought about joining a street dance troupe, but later found that their requirements for joining the troupe were very high, and it was impossible for him to join a street dance troupe. Focus on dancing and forget it.

Toby took the magazine, "It's Sam, dressed like a grown-up."

Neither mentioned Sam's new job.This is a kind of tacit understanding, and there is a little bit of jealousy. Teenagers feel that they are not inferior to others, but why some people are luckier than others is really a mystery.

Lucas is better, he always has a job; Toby is still stumbling around to audition, still don't know where the next job is.

Leonardo, too, was a little jealous.

"The Little Godfather" got a 10-episode order after the pilot episode, and it was added to 13 episodes, but he didn't get his small role that played a part; "Family with Parents" got a 12-episode order, and he signed for 3 seasons contract, but the ratings were far from ideal. After 12 episodes, there was no additional booking, no renewal for the next season, and there was no future.

He had just passed his 16th birthday, and he felt like a real man, full of ambition.He was very happy at first, and wanted to tell his friends that he had signed a movie, the children's sci-fi movie "Magic 3 Critters 3", which was his first movie and had a lot of lines.But then I knew that the film contract signed by Sam turned out to be Spielberg's new film.This is not the same as his new job.

He could only restrain his joy in depression.

By February 1991, both he and Sam were working in separate studios in Burbank.

Most of the scenes in "Captain Hook" were filmed in Sony Pictures Studios. The set was interesting and heroic, the budget was sufficient, and the momentum was huge. A low-budget movie like "Magic Evil 3" just built a very simple set in a small studio, which is very different.

He went to Sony studio to visit, and Sam showed him the studio, dressing room, costume room, and introduced him to "Papa" Robin Williams.

Sam was still the cute and kind kid, and his attitude towards them hadn't changed.

Samo also went to visit Mo Jing's studio. Leonardo took her to see the model of the little alien monster. Summer felt that the little monster was really ugly and even a little ugly, and he was not afraid at all.

"Magic Ghost 3" went to the Auckland location for filming at the end of March, and the filming work ended at the end of April.

Summer's scenes in "Captain Hook" were also largely wrapped by the end of April.

Immediately afterwards, news of Drew Barrymore dating Leonardo began to appear in some gossip tabloids, and the two held hands and did not know where they were walking.

The Barrymore princess has been a lovable little girl since she was a child, and became famous all over the world after she starred in Spielberg's children's sci-fi adventure film "ET".Drew's new film "Poison Ivy" started shooting in Los Angeles in early May, in which Leonardo played a small supporting role.

Drew is more than 3 months younger than Leonardo and has just turned 16 years old. He is slim, fair-skinned, mellow and sweet.Girls always develop earlier than boys, Drew is already a charming girl, Leonardo still looks very childish.

Summer looked stunned: "So you like girls like Drew!"

Leonardo snatched the newspaper from her hand, feeling uneasy, "Paparazzi didn't know how to photograph it. Do you think it's possible? A Barrymore?"

Oh, it is.Drew was born in the Hollywood Barrymore family, the third generation of this family, how could she have a crush on a newcomer like Leonardo, who is still so young.

"But it's okay, you will have a girlfriend in the future." Summer made a grimace.

Toby laughed.

Summer is already a regular actor in "The Mickey Mouse Club", and she will be recognized by other children when she walks on the road; besides this children's variety show, she has also acted in some TV movies, her cute picture Little Round Face appears on the Disney Channel every week, and Face Familiarization is doing well.

Director Spielberg had a good impression of her. "Captain Hook" has more than 20 child actors. Shooting children's scenes can drive the best-tempered people crazy. The older child actors are better, and they don't know that they are not like the younger ones. What to do, but also face the problem of inability to concentrate. Many times the waiting time between one shot and another shot exceeds 30 minutes. There will be similar problems, and it is impossible for them to concentrate and work for hours on end.

The directors all said that the two most difficult types of "actors" to work with are children and animals, but children and animals are elements that most audiences like very much. It is really impossible not to shoot children for a lifetime play and animal play.

So child actors who can control themselves are always more attractive. Although this will make them look a bit too mature, but in this industry, precocious children are more promising.

In the past two years, her height has increased slowly. I don't know the reason, but she is already much taller than children of the same age, so this problem is not prominent.

The two male protagonists also had a good impression of her. Everyone loves her well-behaved and cute children. Even jumping level 3 shows that she is a smart child. When other child actors are playing, she will obediently do her homework on the side.

Dustin Hoffman said, "Sam, why don't you go play with them?" He pointed to the other kids.He brought several of his own children to the location, with his oldest son, Jack, playing a boy on a baseball team at a baseball game, and his younger son, Max, as a young Peter Pan.

Summer looked up and looked at the children who were making noise over there, "They are too noisy."

"You're a little too quiet, not quite like a child. Do you know what Jack and Max are like at home?" Dustin held his forehead in a faint state.

"I'm the only child in my family," she shrugged. "I guess my parents were sensible."

"Maybe they will want another child. Do you like a younger brother or a younger sister?" Dustin knew her family background and could afford more children.It is really rare for a middle-class family to have only one child.

"Then you have to ask them. Baby, you think they are angels, but they can also be demons." She thought of Lucas' twin brothers, they were really two bear children, she didn't want that kind of brother.

"How was your school? Are you younger than your classmates and won't be bullied?"

"No, I'm very popular with girls." She raised her face and smiled cutely.

"Then do you have a girl you like?"

Summer couldn't help laughing, "No."

This summer, Leonardo did not go to his grandfather's house in Germany.

Summer has a busy job and spends most of the summer in Burbank. The work progress of "The Mickey Mouse Club" is about 1 episodes a week, and 2 episode per week in the broadcast season. The number of episodes in a season is variable. Some broadcast seasons have more than 1 episodes, and some broadcast seasons can have more than 30 episodes. , it is broadcast almost all year round.

According to the US "Federal Child Labor Law", the working hours of minor actors in the film and television industry are limited, generally no more than 5 hours, no more than 5 working days a week, excluding training, so she is still working almost every day from morning to night Burbank, either in the training room or on the set.

It is also impossible for Disney to allow child actors to work or train for several months. There will be holidays on public holidays, and the National Day, Christmas and New Years are all public holidays; they will also have a one-month holiday in summer vacation and will not arrange work for them. If they go out to work, they will try to schedule announcements .

In early July, both Leonardo and Toby went to the "Growing Pains" film crew to audition. They were looking for a 7-year-old boy as a new family member.Showrunners are hoping to salvage the ratings by adding a likable newcomer to the hit sitcom's upcoming seventh season, which has seen ratings plummet from previous seasons.

Summer didn't audition, and there was enough work for the Disney Channel, and there was no time for another long-term job.

Not surprisingly, Leonardo got this new role.

The friends gathered together to celebrate again.

Tobey Maguire has also passed his 16th birthday. Emily bought him a second-hand Japanese car.

I called and asked if Sam was home, and Sam answered the phone and was at home.OK, wait, we'll pick you up.

Excitedly drove the small broken car to pick him up.

Suzanne asked them to promise to take him home in three hours, no problem, she agreed.

Summer didn't know what they were having fun with.

"Anything to be happy about?"

"I just went to sign the contract! 23 episodes! A whole season!" Leonardo couldn't hide his excitement.Starring in a hit show is arguably the best job he's ever gotten.

"Growing Pains?" She vaguely remembered Toby mentioning it.

"Yes." He pinched her little face.

The little guy's face was chubby, and it felt so good to pinch, and she wanted to pinch it a few more times, so she turned her face away.

No one likes being pinched in the face all the time.
