[US Entertainment] Hollywood reverses life

"Slumdog Millionaire" filming begins.

As soon as Joy's new film started shooting, it aroused violent reactions from all parties. Countless pairs of eyes are staring at her right now!

The reason is very simple, everyone wants to catch some news about Joey's new movie, if the news gets out, it will definitely attract a lot of attention!

What movie is Marvel director going to make this time? !

However, the reactions of all parties to this movie are also strange, and the strongest reaction turned out to be—"There are so many big names to perform, but Henry Cavill was chosen in the end. Is Henry really not Joey's little wolf dog?"

"Looking at the name, I think the movie will be dirty...Slums or something...Joy Grant has changed his style this time?"

"Joy chose an Asian as the protagonist this time. I don't think it is a good choice. She is too anxious. American audiences do not accept Asians so well. The box office of this movie will not be very good."

"Asian as the protagonist? No way... It's a non-mainstream tone."

"Isn't Joey a little bit off on human rights? If he wants to gain a foothold in Hollywood, he must use mainstream skin-colored people as the protagonist..."

"Not necessarily, MaggieQ is quite famous."

"There's a ghost, I didn't even know this person if it wasn't for Joey who chose her as the heroine."

However, the general public still has some doubts about the subject matter Joey chose this time. After all, he chose Asians, with poor Asians as the protagonist, to write a story about the American dream. This subject matter is neither universal nor mainstream. Universal values.

Americans really like to read stories about the American dream, but they are not happy to read the American dream of a yellow-skinned girl.Even if Joey succeeds, it doesn't mean that the movie can meet the aesthetics of the mainstream race.

Among all kinds of Hollywood movies, there are very few box-office blockbusters with minorities as the protagonists. Some of them are also starred by black actors of the level of Will Smith and Denzel Washington, and the rest are minorities. The movies of the protagonist are basically for awards, not box office, so even if there are, they will not become blockbuster movies. They can only be some unpopular independent movies that are admitted to be high-profile but not popular.

They think that Joey can let minorities be the second protagonist, such as Pepper in "Iron Man".But a movie that completely uses minorities as the protagonist and main perspective will definitely not be a hit.

Don't be Asian... If it's African, forget it, mainstream movies with Asian protagonists, it seems that there has never been a mainstream movie in Hollywood...

Does Joey want to create another miracle?

However, this is a bit absurd, after all, this kind of value is challenging the values ​​of mainstream American society!

Of course Joy must know that this is absurd. She didn't think this movie would be successful in the United States before, but what people didn't expect was the financial crisis.

Against the background of the financial crisis, what they thought was the most impossible thing will become possible.

In the previous life "Slumdog Millionaire", an Indian protagonist can achieve this shocking masterpiece, let alone an Asian.

Joey was shooting a movie on the set, and MaggieQ was walking in a slum in cheap clothes, buying fruit in front of a fruit shop.

Her acting skills are very natural, and it seems that this time she has done enough preparations for this movie. She started not talking to anyone as early as a month ago, and completely entered the role.

And like the characters in the movie, he prepared a suicide note, and seemed to maintain a mentality of preparing to die at any time.

At this time, Henry on the sidelines said to Joey: "JOY, I think she is very beautiful, I know you will not be angry, I think she is more beautiful than you."

Henry expressed quite candidly that he was attracted to MaggieQ.

Joey rolled his eyes at him, "Although I won't be angry, do you ever praise others like that, and it hurts others."

Henry said with a smile: "You have to admit, she is really beautiful!"

"Okay, I'll record it for Emma!"

Henry finally shut up obediently now.

But Joey admitted that MaggieQ's style is indeed difficult for ordinary Asians.The reason why she became the leading actor of "Nikita" is also because her Asian style is very in line with the aesthetics of Westerners.

Afterwards, Joy announced an intermission, and she stepped aside to drink a bottle of mineral water to start drinking.Halfway through her drink, her eyes caught Hughes approaching.

She blinked, then walked towards him.

Because Joy has great ambitions for "Slumdog Millionaire", she wants to use this film to open up the award market for Oscars and other awards, so she also invited Hughes to be the producer of this film. It's been a pleasure working together and creating a win-win situation every time.

Hughes saw her coming and dropped his half-smoked cigar.

Joey looked at the way he always smoked, "Hey, I said you should really quit smoking, your lungs will be black if you keep doing this."

"It's already dark." Hughes took out another one indifferently and planned to light it, but Joey took it away.

She seemed a little helpless, "Seriously, don't you want to live a few more years?"

The corners of Hughes's mouth curled up, showing a polite but arrogant smile, "To be honest, I don't care at all, but Joey."

He rarely called her name, and Joey looked back at him, "What's wrong?"

Hughes said in a natural tone, "You'd better tell me the rest of the things. Apart from touching drugs and drugs, you also recited what I did that you never dared to tell me."

After this time, he seemed to know that Joey had done some ridiculous things, but she didn't tell him everything, and she should have even hidden a lot from him.

He doesn't mind how many ridiculous things Joey has done, he just wants to know, so that he can prevent situations like this short video from happening in advance.

At least he knows, and now he can start to think of a way to destroy those things that may cause scandal.

When he said this, his tone was not ridiculed, but surprisingly serious, as if he thought Joey had to tell him.But Joey looked at him with a very strange look, "Hughes, you helped me a lot this time, I thank you, I think I will always pay back your kindness to me."

Hughes seemed to find it ridiculous, "You think you can pay it off? You're kidding."

Joey's tone was very serious, "I didn't. But, please put away your self-righteous face."

Hughes lit the cigar, bit his lips again, looked into the distance, "Self-righteous?"

Joey looked serious, "You're not my guardian, Hughes, I don't have to tell you everything I've done, even when we were in love."

Hughes looked at Joey, showing no emotion.

"You asked me to tell you everything I did that you don't know, have you ever thought about it, why?" Joey looked at him seriously.

Hughes slowly exhaled smoke rings.

Joey looked at him, "I don't need to report anything to you."

Hughes still didn't say a word, just smoked.

Joey suddenly said in an unusually calm tone: "Hughes, you are too self-righteous."

He looked at her and asked, "Self-righteous?"

Joey nodded, "Yes, until when are you going to be self-righteous?"

"You seem to be describing me that way for the first time."

"That's because I didn't see through it before. But after breaking up in the past few years, I have completely seen through it. There are many problems between us, not only me, but also you."

Hughes put out the cigarette butt, his expression suddenly became very cold, "See through?"

Joey replied very positively, "No matter what I did right or wrong, I won't tell you."

"Won't?"

Joey said again with a very precise sentence: "You are not qualified to know that much."

Hughes' face was cold and expressionless.

Joey looked at his expression, "Are you surprised?"

"No."

This time it was Joey's turn to be surprised, "No?"

Hughes didn't answer, his expression was unfathomable.

Joey took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, "You always make decisions for me self-righteously, draw a circle and wait for me to jump in, always thinking about letting me follow your routine, just like just now, You didn't ask me if I was willing to tell you, but asked me to tell you directly, and you are sure that I will tell you. But is it really like this? "

Hughes took a few puffs of cigarettes, with an intriguing sarcasm on his lips, "So in your opinion, this is self-righteousness?"

Joey smiled, "I am very grateful for your help to me all the time. If you encounter difficulties in the future, I will definitely return this kindness. And now, as long as you open your mouth, I can express a part of me in any way. Thanks. But I want to draw a line with you."

Hughes still looked ahead coldly, "Draw a line?"

Joey was certain, "That's right, I don't want to reveal too much of my private life to you, because you lack respect for feelings and people's hearts, and you never respect my will."

Joy thought very clearly in her previous life, she was always thinking about her relationship with Hughes, and she suddenly realized it one day.

Her problem with Hughes is not only her own, but also the way Hughes treats his relationship.He always likes to make decisions for her, he doesn't even ask her what she thinks, and just follows his own way.

She used to obey unconditionally, but since rebirth in this life, they are no longer that kind of relationship. She must be separated from him to live independently. Hughes still seems to be used to treating her in the way he used to get along with him, but this is not okay of.

"Respect?" Hughes squeezed out two words from the corner of his mouth for a long time, and the tone was a rhetorical question.

Joey was silent, he might still not understand.

Just like just now, he said that he wanted to ask her what wrong things she had done before. His intention may be good, but she didn't know, but he took it for granted that Joey should take the initiative to tell him, and he took it for granted that this is necessary.

He didn't ask Joey if he would tell her, his attitude was that Joey had to tell him.

He never respected her will enough.

"That's it." Hughes said this after a long time.

Then he said again: "I'll go first."

Joey said goodbye to him, and he left.

She didn't know what was going on in his mind until he left.Because he barely spoke.It seemed like Joey was the one talking all the time.

Hughes drove the car back from the set and walked across the Sunset Bridge at the end of the sunset. Looking down from the bridge, he could see the out-of-service Angel Cable Car.

After driving off the bridge, he parked the car on the side of the road, surrounded by the riverside under the sunset light.

He got out of the car, walked to the river, kicked a stone and fell into the river.

Then he put his hands in the pockets of his suit trousers, and stood upright by the river, watching the warm yellow layer of sparkling light on the river.

He just stood like this, from the sunset station to the night and then to the city with the first lights.

He just kept staring at the river.

It seems to be a person who is separated from this bustling Los Angeles.

After a long time, the corners of his mouth opened, and a mocking chuckle curled his lips, "Respect?"
