[US Entertainment] Hollywood reverses life

This is West Hollywood, a place of entertainment for people behind the scenes of Hollywood. Although there are many Hollywood filmmakers here, the director is the person who lives behind the screen after all. Many people may have heard her name, Joy Grant, and know that she is a " Fallen genius", but may not recognize her face, after all, the director is not a star.

But unfortunately, a certain piece of news in "Newsweek" happened to be related to her today. She is not a celebrity who often appears in newspapers. As a director, she will always exist behind the scenes in Hollywood.

But because her experience is so suitable for gossip, it just arouses the interest of many readers who want to read Hollywood's negative textbooks, so the media are still very happy to pull her out for entertainment from time to time, so that everyone can have fun.

Passing by a newsstand, she picked up a copy because she caught a glimpse of her own photo.

The photo in the newspaper seems to be that she attended a friend's party a few days ago, and then she was taken back by her fiancé Hughes after being drunk. When the photo was secretly taken, she was lying on the passenger seat in a daze. Si was driving expressionlessly in the driver's seat.

The matching headline alongside it read, "Typical Hollywood Story--Fallen Talent".

The general content of the article is, "Remember Joy Grant who was fined 20 hours of community service for drunk driving last month? This time she seems to play a bigger role, and a picture of her friend's villa is obviously high The appearance was carried out, and her fiancé Hughes drove to borrow her. This depraved Chinese lady seems to think that she has not enough troubles in front of her eyes. She spends too much, lives extravagantly, and her private life is chaotic. Maybe this is what she wants in Hollywood Life."

The report smeared that she was taking -= drugs and was carried out by Hughes, but in fact she was just drunk.She glanced at it casually, then stuffed the publication into her bag.

She has seen this kind of news too much in her previous life, almost all of which are smeared. After all, in Hollywood, factors such as female directors and yellow skin are seen by others wearing invisible colored glasses, but others will not say it outright. , but once they find a place to attack, they will not be soft.

Before she had gone far, she heard the conversation between the people who were also buying newspapers and their friends, "This Chinese female director named Joy is really capable. Except for making a good movie when she debuted, she has been bad all the way. To be able to keep the heir to the richest family in Hollywood for 7 years."

"Yeah, I don't know what Lei Shidong's great-grandson is looking for in this woman. She is so rich, has a background, and looks good, but she likes this Chinese-American female director. Anyway, I am a yellow-skinned woman. I can't appreciate it."

"If you say you like her talent, she would have exhausted her talents long ago. There is no 01:30 talent to speak of. In the past few years, all of them have been made bad movies, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes has not exceeded 40%."

"Anyway, I'm not optimistic about this kind of fate. Look at her face in the photo, she looks so excited. I don't believe that Summer Redstone, who is powerful and powerful in Hollywood, would like this kind of granddaughter-in-law. Another drunk driving arrest Caught, taking -= drugs again, having a chaotic private life, indulging in parties all day long, and cannot watch any of the movies produced."

Another lady showed a gloating smile, and said in a fluffy tone: "So the title said it, this is a 'typical Hollywood story'."

Joey didn't finish listening, and quickly pulled the collar of the windbreaker to cover half of his face and left there, not because he was unhappy, but because he was ashamed.

She was, as they said, absurd for seven years, and she was, as they said, unworthy of Hughes.

She was walking aimlessly on Sunset Avenue, and some familiar faces appeared around her from time to time, but she didn't carefully distinguish those celebrities.

She walked to the door of a comedy nightclub, and she remembered that this nightclub was a place she used to frequent. This is also a very famous comedy Hollywood in West Hollywood, where celebrities from all walks of life often come to.

The glamorous nights of Hollywood are always nostalgic. She stood blankly at the entrance of this comedy nightclub, and did not see a tall man coming out of the nightclub, and that man was obviously a little drunk.

So accidentally, her leather shoes were stepped on by that man, leaving a few gray marks on the smooth toe.

Only then did she look up, and when she looked up, she realized that the man was Jude Law, the British actor who came to Hollywood to develop in the United States. His perfect British appearance was known as "the last British gentleman" .

Jude Law just glanced at Joey, and said with a very casual polite expression: "Sorry."

Joey was about to say it was okay, but before he could say it, Jude Law walked past her. His eyes told her that he knew who she was, but he was not interested in greeting her or getting to know her.Even the "sorry" thrown down seemed so polite but arrogant.

If today he stepped on James Cameron, Quentin Tarantino, or David Spielberg, Joey believed that he would change his expression and chat happily with them.

It's not because she has a prejudice against Jude Law, but because most people in Hollywood are used to this.

Joey won't blame him for being too arrogant and disrespecting her. In fact, there is a premise for respecting her, that is, you are on the same level.

Now she, Joy, is just a degenerate director who has been outdated and abandoned by Hollywood. No one would respect such a person.She is not yet qualified to be respected by others.

Although she doesn't have much affection for the man who fucks with the babysitter in marriage, cheats with Sienna Miller, likes to play 3-=P, and ends up being cuckolded by Sienna Miller and Daniel Craig.It can be guessed from his early disappearing hairline that he may be a man who plays crazy behind his back.

Joey shrugged and smiled generously, and continued to walk forward.

"drop--"

The phone rang.

Joy seemed to wake up suddenly, because she was still immersed in the long-lost homeland just now.

She started to look for her mobile phone very unskillfully. After all, she came back from time travel 50 years later, and she couldn't remember what her mobile phone looked like or where she put it.

She managed to pull out her phone, and the caller ID was "Renee."

This is her only close friend, who grew up with her as a third-rate stage actor.

It's a pity that in her previous life, for the sake of self-esteem, she finally escaped from Hollywood and no longer contacted her.

She picked up the phone, "What's the matter, Renee?"

Renee yelled and said anxiously on the other end of the phone: "Joy, why are you still hanging out? Just now I received a call from a friend in the bank. The villa in Nika Valley is about to be washed away."

Joey didn't know what to say for a moment. According to the experience of his previous life, that villa couldn't be kept.

Seeing Joey's silence, Renee continued: "I should have stopped you in the first place. Although Hollywood film companies are not willing to make films for you now, there will always be a chance after you retire for a few years. If you have no money, how can you mortgage your last and only asset house in a desperate fight! If your "Once Upon a Time at Harvard" cannot be sold, you will go bankrupt!"

Finally, after a long silence, Joey sighed heavily, "Then what should I do? Bankruptcy is inevitable. After all, I asked the bank for a loan of 300 million for this film, and it is impossible for me to pay it back." .”

Seeing that Joey was so discouraged, Renee immediately felt something was wrong, "Why, what do you mean, there is really no film company willing to buy this movie? None of them?"

"No." She said firmly, because she knew that, from her previous life to the end, she went all over Hollywood, but there was no company willing to buy this movie.

She didn't blame anyone, only herself for not doing a good job.

Renee wailed, "Oh! God, is there really nothing I can do? I checked your mailbox just now, and it was full of rejections. Those small companies who seemed to be friendly with you in the past have flattered you. The filmmakers all look like they want to isolate themselves from you."

Joey smiled helplessly, "I'm in this mess now, everyone wants to stay away from me."

Renee pouted and began to think of a way, "Why don't you go and talk to Hughes... He is so rich, maybe he will give you the 300 million, and you don't have to go bankrupt, I'll just say you Hughes shouldn't be hiding this matter, his fiancée is going to go bankrupt, and he doesn't even know about it."

"No!" Joey immediately raised his voice, "I can't tell him, I don't want to be looked down upon by him."

Whether in her previous life or now, she wanted to maintain her excess self-esteem in front of Hughes.Moreover, she will be dumped soon, how can she have the face to say such a thing?

Renee said: "Then what should I do, wait for bankruptcy? Is it the only way? Then what should I do in the future? You are so young, and your life in Hollywood should have just begun. How does it look like this is coming to an end?"

Joey sighed softly, "I'm going to think about it again."

Renee muttered a few times, and said, "Joy, it's not that I don't cheer you up, what I mean is that if you really... have no chance here, don't suffer and try to be brave, you can go to learn stage play, I It is better to be able to introduce you to our theater company as a stage director, or to get a diploma, or to be a lecturer at a film university than to be attacked by audiences, film critics, and the media here every day. Look at what they say about you of……"

She paused and continued: "Excessive spending, extravagant life, and chaotic private life. Although you do like to go to parties, you are absolutely loyal to Hughes. As for drunk driving, you were indeed drunk driving that time, but you were also arrested. You have been fined for 20 hours of community service, and then you are said to smoke marijuana, I really can't stand the media."

"No, Renee." Joy interrupted her. She knew that Renee was doing it for her own good, but if she still gave up this time, what would be the difference from her previous life? "Renee, listen to me, this time I won't give up again. I was really ridiculous before, but now I wake up. Maybe one day I will still be hit and bruised and leave Hollywood on my knees, but that will definitely Not now. Because if I give up now, my life is really irreversible."

Renee was obviously confused, "I don't understand what you are talking about, how do you know what will happen to your life, but forget it, since you insist, I will still support you, but now you have to what to do?"

How to do?

Joy's mind is still in a mess at the moment. She has just been reborn, and the only thought in her mind is not to give up and run away this time, but she hasn't figured out the specific implementation plan yet, and now she is facing such a huge predicament , was rejected by the film company, and was about to face bankruptcy, and the reputation of the audience plummeted. She wanted money and no money, no one, and she had to solve the problem of bankruptcy first, after all, she was going to live on the street soon, penniless to be broken up...

Yes, there is also the issue of being broken up. She suddenly remembered today. She seemed to be on her way to an appointment with Hughes, and the breakup seemed to be today.

She looked at the time and said, "Renee, let's talk when we get back. I have an appointment now, so I'll hang up first."

Then she hung up the phone and continued walking down Sunset Avenue.

Although she lived in seclusion for 50 years in her previous life, she can be said to be as calm as water to Hughes now, and she will not be as heartbroken as she was in her previous life. After all, everything is caused by herself.

But her mood at the moment is still very complicated.Especially knowing that Hughes would die in a car accident in five years.

After Hughes' accident in her previous life, she lived like a walking dead for several years. Later, time gradually healed her wounds. Now she can't tell what her feelings for Hughes are, because it's too complicated.

She knew that after she and Hughes broke up, it wouldn't be long before the press would dig up the story and paint her and Hughes's story as just another "typical Hollywood story."

"Fallen genius ruined by Hollywood" and "golden boy and girl who broke up because they were too different from each other", both of which are "typical Hollywood stories", she is a collection of typical Hollywood stories, all people All the beauty that was destroyed in her heart happened to her.
