[US Entertainment] Hollywood reverses life

2003 years.

The city of dreams in the United States, Los Angeles, California.

She is familiar with everything here.

Cracks on the asphalt road that have been in disrepair for a long time, worn shoulders, half-yellow palm trees, narrow and dirty alleys with strange stores hidden, desert-style milky yellow milk red milk gray spray-painted rigid houses along the street facade, out-of-service Angel cable car ...

This is the characteristic of the city of Los Angeles that she is familiar with.

Los Angeles, City of Dreams, City of Stars, La La Land, skip the palm trees, snowy mountains and deserts and you will see endless beaches, skip countless motels with cheap neon signs on the doorsteps, and you will see all dreams The end of the world - Hollywood.

In this Hollywood full of actors, even the waiter at McDonald's will tell you that she is an actress.Because it is too easy to succeed as an actor here, although most of them are passing through in a hurry.

Generations of people wander here, trying their best. They keep trying, just want to touch and even realize their movie dreams, even if they pay everything for it.

She walked tremblingly on Sunset Avenue.

She didn't expect that she came back.

Rebirth returned to 2003, when I was 23 years old.

Back to the year when she lost everything, betrayed her relatives, was questioned, criticized, and was the most miserable year in her life.

Her name is Joey Grant, a Chinese orphan adopted by an American couple.

She has loved movies since she was a child, and God has blessed her with talent in this area. Although she is of Chinese descent, with yellow skin, short stature, and a flat figure, she has nothing outstanding in appearance among a bunch of blond American girls, but she has done a lot. Director's talent.

At the age of 16, she made her debut film with only tens of thousands of dollars. As an independent film, it was well received by all parties and won several independent film festival awards in one fell swoop.

Many filmmakers in the industry are optimistic about her future, dubbing her a "supernova talent" for making such good films at such a young age.

After that, film appointments came one after another, and she was considered to have stepped into the big vat of Hollywood.

She became famous when she was young, she was talented and famous, and of course there was no shortage of people who came to curry favor.

Many stars, especially young ones, have been corrupted by Hollywood, such as Lindsay Lohan, Drew Barrymore, etc., are well-known events, because people like to pay attention to stars, and the young directors behind the stars , screenwriters and other film professionals, because they are too young, there are many people who have been misled by the big dye tank of Hollywood.

She, Joey Grant is one of them.

It's just that people in the industry didn't expect her to learn bad things so quickly, and soon she got lost in various parties, receptions, and fun and games in Hollywood.

Drunk driving, drugs, arrogance, and a messy private life all seem to have something to do with her.But if that's all it is, it's just a matter of personal morality, but in the 16 years since she became famous at the age of 7, she made 7 bad movies at a rapid rate of one a year, which surprised all filmmakers.

Where did the "supernova genius" go?Really plunged into that fallen abyss and couldn't get up?Even exhausted his only talent?

Like many "flash-in-the-pan" young people who were buried in the waves of Hollywood, she was finally abandoned by Hollywood.

The major commercial film companies have made it clear, "Joey Grant will not get any more investment from us."

And those small independent film companies have gradually realized that she is indeed exhausted, and there is no need to waste money on her.

So at the age of 23, she consumed all the good feelings she accumulated when she debuted, and became a director who was rejected by all film companies.

People criticized her, attacked her, and questioned her... Anyway, Hollywood has discriminated against female directors and non-white directors for a long time.

The tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and suddenly she had nothing but the friends she had met.

The media called her the "Queen of Bad Movies", and the audience felt that she "only ruined movies". Film critics commented on her as "another typical example of a short-lived, exhausted talent destroyed by Hollywood."

In her previous life, in this year, she was unwilling to end it like this, and mortgaged her only property, the villa in the Santa Monica Valley, to make an independent film that she invested in - "Once Upon a Time at Harvard", because she Although she has made a lot of money over the years, she has squandered it all. This is her last asset.

But after the movie was finished, she realized that maybe she really had no future, maybe she was really out of talent, and no film company was willing to release the mediocre work "Once Upon a Time at Harvard", and she was still rejected.In the end, because she had to repay the bank loan, the villa, her only asset, was also cleared.

She's totally broke.

God destined her to lose everything in this year. Her fiancé, who has been in love for 7 years, wants to break up with her. Her fiancé is Hughes Redstone, a well-known producer of Paramount Pictures, a typical Hollywood executive Elites, with foresight, means, and talent, invested in and produced films that were all successful and sold well.

At the same time, he is also the great-grandson of Paramount "media emperor" Summer Redstone, a legendary Hollywood business tycoon, the president of Hollywood's largest media entertainment company, and one of the six major Hollywood film companies.

Three years ago, they were engaged to each other happily. She thought that even if she lost everything, he would be her last resort. After all, he has money, connections, and background. Her future father-in-law's father is even more Hollywood A man who calls the storm.

But she didn't expect that at this most unbearable time, it was her fiance who gave her the last blow.

The reason he gave was that he was too disappointed in her.

At this time, she suddenly realized that what she had been doing for the past 7 years, besides enjoying herself, was just making movies to make money. She had completely squandered her talent.

She knew that she had no face to keep Hughes, she lost Hughes in despair, but she didn't blame him, because he was patient enough with her.

For 7 years, no matter how ridiculous she was, he never left her.And she is no longer the high-spirited and talented woman she was at the beginning. He has been disappointed in her for 7 years before leaving her, and he has given her enough patience.

Then, at that time, she came to her senses and recalled her innocent heart of chasing her dreams. She realized that she lost herself for a while, but she never thought of giving up her dream of being a director.

But she has no face or courage to stay in Hollywood anymore.

After going bankrupt, she flinched and escaped, she gave up her dreams and everything here, fled Hollywood, hid herself from the big screen, and went to a small village in the outskirts of Florida, where she lived a life of incognito. Also does not appear in front of the public.

Five years later, she read online that Hughes Redstone had died in a car accident.

Afterwards, she was completely disheartened, and spent the rest of her life in that little village for 50 years. Although she still paid attention to movies and Hollywood, she never dared to step out of this small village.

Although in the past 50 years, she has never given up on the technique of pondering the film, but it is useless.

It's just unexpected that at the moment after she died, she was very old, and she actually traveled back to the time when she was 2003 years old in 23.

She walked tremblingly on Sunset Avenue, a street she hadn't stepped in for 50 years but was so familiar with.

She had a shiver down her spine, and it wasn't because of the fear and inconceivability of her rebirth.

It's because she's so excited, she's so eager to come back here, because it represents her dream.

After 50 years in her previous life, it turned out that she still couldn't forget her dream of being a director.

It wasn't until the moment she set foot on this land again that she realized how much she wanted to chase her dream on this land.

Now, God gave her this opportunity.

This time, in this most unbearable year, she didn't want to run away again.
