I am a nobleman in England
Chapter 447 The End of the Avenue of Stars is the Sofa
Before I came to Los Angeles, my knowledge of the city was limited to hearing, pictures, and various film and television scenes. I knew that it was a star-studded city, with a strong worldly hustle and bustle, full of restlessness and anxiety.
Known to the world for Hollywood movies, it gathers multinational cultures, the luxury shopping world of Beverly Hills, the beautiful sunset view of Sunset Boulevard, taste the authentic taste of LittleTokyo, and get lost in the Hollywood Walk of Fame...The prosperous metropolis without high-rise buildings and the wonderful combination of Xuanyi's scenery are just like the name "City of Angels"!
Lowering the car window, Arthur felt the warm and fragrant wind and looked at the clean and beautiful scenery along the road. The streets of Los Angeles in April were surrounded by dense purple-flowered trees, like clouds of purple mist.The petals fell with the wind and covered the streets. From a distance, it looked like a blue-purple rain, and the romantic not inferior to the cherry blossoms...
Arthur poked his head out of the car window, and the dazzling California sunshine made everything seem so unreal and felt dizzy.
The City of Angels, the melting pot of the Zhong people, the paradise for movie lovers, the epitome of the inclusive and open Los Angeles American culture, is the real version of the American dream.
Countless people came here to pursue their dreams, and countless people continue to dream here.Regardless of race or xing, regardless of skin color or belief, as long as there is the pursuit of the American Dream, there is an opportunity for dream chasers.
Thinking of my sister Eddie, who has always wanted to come to Hollywood to pursue her dreams, and the peerless youwu Emily Shaw who is full of infinite dreams of the American dream, and Emilia Clarke who has come to Hollywood, and the one who gave up the local star halo , Without hesitation, came to Hollywood, the ninth wonder of the dream, Ji Li Hazel.
Arthur couldn't help but shook his head and laughed. These women, their sensible eyes were covered by so-called fantasy and dreams. How did they know that prosperity and desolation were originally twin sisters. Behind a bustling city, there is an indifferent and lonely corner.
In front of the spotlight, there is always light, and shadows always exist where the light can't reach.
In the daytime, the drunken Hollywood fans, the rich celebrities indulge in enjoyment, and the poor people caught a glimpse of this prosperous scene and decided to make a name for themselves in this city.But they were deceived by the brilliance of the surface and did not see the sordidness underneath.
Here, a story is told every day, the content of the story is about money, transactions and people.
What does Hollywood sell?It's a movie.But in the final analysis, what Hollywood sells is a dream, a dream of success, a dream that millions of people look up to, a dream from a peak to a trough, from an unknown junior to a superstar.
Whether it's Hollywood or any place in the world, fame and fortune will always go hand in hand and follow each other.
However, the entertainment industry is one of the most divergent and realistic industries.The so-called Vanity Fair originated from Hollywood. It was still poor and couldn’t eat food yesterday. After the movie became popular all over the world, it immediately changed its appearance. Dressed up and learned etiquette immediately became the highest-level figure, even the chief of the bald eagle. The well-known CEO of the company also smiles at you, and for most girls, I am afraid that there will be a sense of vanity, and suddenly the whole world knows you and casts envy, likes, and enthusiastic eyes on you. Most girls can't resist.What kind of youhuo is this?
It’s just that, in a country where interests are paramount, resources are in control, which represents power to a certain extent, and those little people who want to get resources will respect and please those powerful people who control resources. Problems that cannot be avoided, rules!
The qian rule is "castingcouch" in English, which literally means "the sofa in the audition room". For the implication, please imagine yourself...
In Hollywood, the qian rule can even remove the word "qian", which is part of the content of the rule.Because this is an open secret.Dating back one hundred years ago, Hollywood directors and producers chose the heroine in this way. Whoever had the big cup would choose whoever he wanted, or he would choose the one he wanted to sleep most, often on the audition sofa.
In fact, this kind of thing, if viewed calmly and rationally, is understandable and natural. No matter which country’s entertainment industry, the competition pressure is very large, and the target youhuo is also large. After all, the entertainment industry is too dependent on competition. channel.
The simplest example, if you are a young actor who has just debuted, has little acting skills, and looks good, you hope to be famous and rank among the hundreds of thousands a day.
However, there are thousands of people who have the same dreams and the same role as your competitors.What should you do then?
You can say, please, I am willing to take no money.But the person next door said that I not only don't need a penny, but also donate 10,000 yuan to you.There are really many ways to pay the producer to change roles.
Or some investors require their relatives and girlfriends to be the heroines.This is the most common.
But more entrants do not have money and background. How can they win when compared with many other competitors?
A large number of Hollywood star biographies show that most of them come from poor families, and many of them have not even finished middle school.It is precisely because only such children have the determination to break the boat. They do not have rich fathers to clear their way with money.
The only thing they can exchange is themselves.They have no other work skills and knowledge.If unsuccessful, maybe you can only go to the restaurant to be a waiter.They have never learned game theory and finance, but they do...Exchanging oneself for a performance opportunity is a very valuable thing in the future.
Well, maybe it hurts the glass hearts of many fans. Of course, it's not that everyone is like this. There are also some people who play roles that are not too competitive, and they are unexpectedly popular.Some people meet upright gentlemen along the way.Some talented people are brilliant and dominate thousands of competitors.Oh, it's all possible.
However, those so-called innocent and innocent girls are hurt by such and such big directors, producers, and morally corrupted circumstances in pursuit of ideals. Whoever believes is foolish.
Please!Isn't this a movie in the real world?
In fact, it can be said that almost no one falls into the trap accidentally.There are risks in this, but no victims.It's worth it now, and the parties know it well.Whether it is worth it in the future depends on luck.
This is also one of the reasons why Arthur will resolutely prevent his sister Eddie, Emily Shaw, and Dragon Ma from coming to Hollywood to chase their dreams, especially after drinking with Nicholas Cage and listening to what he said after drinking. After the Hollywood jokes, Arthur has a deeper understanding of Hollywood, the Vanity Fair.
Nicholas Cage told him that Hollywood producers or casting directors use simple and practical criteria for casting roles. That is: Do I want to sleep with her?"Although this method is disgusting, it is indeed generally approved by the Hollywood industry. Nicholas' explanation is: "The reason why the audience is interested in a certain screen image is essentially the same...If the producer is not interested in the actress at all, he cannot guarantee that there will be an audience."
Although it is disgusting, but it is very straightforward to say the voice of all men, for Hollywood, for those Hollywood goddesses, fans of the previous life of Arthur, with different identities and conditions from the past, to those goddesses We don't have coveting, or the idea of a qin Fangze, that is basically impossible.
If he didn't have that kind of thought, he wouldn't have met Long Ma, and went straight along. The unavailability of the past life and the easy access of this life made him subconsciously have an extremely strong ambition to conquer and collect the stars and goddesses. .
Therefore, after seeing Taylor Swift, the little country queen, he pursued her irrespectively. Because of his previous life, he stood under the stage of Taylor Swift’s concert, looking radiant, charming, and high above. She can only watch from a distance, not even holding hands at close range.
But now?
Hehe, as long as he is willing, he can do whatever he wants, and it will be dawn when he thinks of dawn...
Thinking of being able to reunite with Taylor, who has a body comparable to a supermodel, exquisite face, immortal and xing feeling, can talk to each other and alleviate the pain of love, the smile on Arthur's face becomes Increasingly brilliant.
"It seems that if you want to get into the limelight in Hollywood, it's impossible to rely on Taylor's little girlfriend's support alone, or you must have the real strength and resources, the resources that can make everyone in Hollywood rush to..."
In a world where interests are paramount, only tangible strength and resources can make others respect, bow their heads, and please everyone. Arthur sees this thoroughly and speaks plainly. If he Not having a wealth of billions and having the aura of a noble earl, he may not be able to easily win Taylor Swift, a scheming woman who uses dating as his creative inspiration.
"Didi di----"
The whistle of a car rang back to reality, and he looked at the surrounding environment with some novelty, looking at the mansion that was slowly opening the door.
I thought that the mansion where Nicholas Cage lived would be located in a land covered with gold and silver, but it was unexpectedly quiet and quiet, and seemed to reject the glitz and external disturbance.Perhaps the stars are more willing to leave their brilliance to movie screens and red carpets.After the movie ends, they are also willing to return to a peaceful life like ordinary people.
The convoy drove into the castle-like mansion, and the door behind him slowly closed. After Arthur thanked the bodyguard who helped him open the door, he looked with satisfaction at the 66-year-old building in front of him with a central tower. , The villa with a total area of 1098 square meters, the exterior walls, doors and windows are covered with emerald green ivy.
