Hollywood Rhapsody

"Meow?" Sarah, who was caught in the brain hole, couldn't help herself meowing, and then immediately realized something was wrong, and coughed twice to cover up, her fingers hesitantly wrapped around the phone line, and she couldn't help holding her breath , "Private matter? Is there any...private matter between us?"

"Hey, we're friends, okay? I should at least ask you how you're doing when you make a phone call. Are there any conflicts in the crew? Is there a new relationship? Is there any bottleneck in acting? Will the show be canceled?" Leon smirked, "I haven't paid much attention to it, so I don't know the ratings of your drama, but I personally want to curse it for being cut."

"Why? Why don't you see me like that?" Sarah pretended to be annoyed.

"Of course not, I just think that if you don't make TV series, we will have a lot of energy to complete the film, so we won't be too hasty." Leon explained with a good temper, and finally whispered, "You should put more energy into the film Come on, this is really planned for you..."

"Planning for me? Well... Speaking of which, I do have some questions that I need to consult with you." Sarah changed her posture and briefly told Leon about the previous conversation with Kevin, "I think you should be very knowledgeable in this regard." Experience, how credible do you think Kevin's words are?"

"Are you doubting him?" Leon didn't answer immediately, but asked with interest.

"Of course, don't you think it's strange? I've only heard that the main actors who can attract more viewers are fired in order to increase the ratings? This is unreasonable, unless...it's not the decision of the crew and the TV network to fire me. It's Kevin's private wishes..." Sarah was analyzing in her head while talking, she felt something was wrong when she was talking with Kevin, but Joshua interrupted her thoughts later, and now looking back, that The feeling of something wrong became more and more obvious.

"There are conspiracies everywhere! I can't figure it out. It sounds like your suspicion is reasonable, but Kevin's suggestion is also correct. The prime time for actresses is shorter. If you waste too much time and energy on TV dramas , your achievements may be limited to TV stars forever. So, no matter what Kevin wants to do, the final decision on this matter is still yours." There was a rattling sound from Leon, and Sarah immediately thought A picture appeared - the handsome Leon frowned slightly, tapping his fingers on the table while thinking.

"Well, if it were you, how would you choose?" Sarah realized that the problem was more complicated than she imagined, and she should be more cautious.

"As long as there is an opportunity, of course it is to make a movie. The rhythm of the movie is more compact, and the requirements for acting skills are higher. Do you want to make a movie or a TV series in the same time? There is no need to hesitate about this choice. Sarah, believe me, in the Trying different roles within the scope of your ability is the kingly way. Do you want to hone your acting skills through an "Age of Love"? "So what? It's just a character, and it may not be a classic character that can be handed down." Leon's tone unconsciously carried some contempt, which made Sarah a little uncomfortable, but she soon Leon's next attention was attracted.

"Improving acting skills is actually a process of falling in love. You can imagine acting as an arrogant girl, no, it's more like an introverted handsome guy to you." Leon's voice on the table became lighter and lighter , seems to be very satisfied with his metaphor, and there are more smiles in the words-"It's like talking about a serious relationship, because the handsome guy named 'Performance' is too introverted, so you need to spend more thought Contact him, get to know him, let him open his heart to accept you, you meet, hold hands, date, kiss... Trying different roles is like trying different communication methods, and then you will find the love rhythm that suits you best, and you will become more and more The more you become obsessed with 'acting', and at the same time, you become more and more charming under the nourishment of 'acting'... Like an irresistible love, the story of Mr. 'acting' and Miss Sarah..."

"It's a wonderful process!" Sarah exclaimed sincerely, "Leon, you are a real actor, you don't just treat acting as a career, you fell in love with acting and devoted yourself to this relationship, so your acting That’s why it’s so aura, because the performance also loves you.”

"No no no, although I enjoyed your compliments, I feel the need to emphasize one point - although the performance is charming, I still prefer real beautiful women who can be hugged and kissed in my arms, which is very important, very important, I We must defend the right to be happy as a man." Leon declared like a revolutionary fighter, his firm tone amused Sarah so much that she almost burst out laughing.

"OK, OK, you are what you say, no one can deprive you of the right to embrace beautiful women, in fact, all the beautiful women in the world are waiting in line for your lips, hahaha, believe me, you definitely have such charm, You can hold the list of the world's supermodel rankings and kiss one by one, sit at the end of the runway, and wait for the Victoria's Secret angels to step forward." Sarah laughed and painted Leon the wonderful picture that all men dream of.

But unexpectedly, Leon on the other end of the phone did not respond enthusiastically, but fell into a strange silence.

"Leon? Are you still listening?" Sarah asked suspiciously, did she say something wrong just now?When she glanced at the clock, Sarah suddenly exclaimed, "Sorry, it's so late, is it almost 12 o'clock in Canada? Shouldn't you be resting?"

"Well, it's indeed a bit late, and we chatted for more than an hour without knowing it." Leon's voice was soft and slow, and he yawned cooperatively, "So, this is the end of today's chat?"

"Okay, go to bed early, you should enjoy a good sleep during the holidays." Sarah also said softly, "Then, good night, Leon."

"Good night, dear Sarah...and...you can call my cell phone if you have any questions about TV dramas, performances, and our movie plans." Leon added before hanging up the phone.

"Okay, Leon, you are so sweet." Sarah shook the receiver, smiled softly and whispered, "Have a good dream, dear Leon..."

Sarah didn't put down the handset until she heard the busy tone of "beep" from the other end. She looked at the phone and stood there with one hand wrapped around her arm before digesting all the contents of the phone call. Movie?Leonardo DiCaprio offered to ask her to collaborate in a movie?

It sounded like an unreal dream, Sarah belatedly pinched her thigh, and the pain made her gasp, rubbing her thigh and giggling into the phone stand up.

When Sarah pushed open the door, a head poked out from the diagonally opposite room, and Joshua grinned at Sarah and said, "Look, the lovebirds flew out!"

Immediately afterwards, James and Katie also leaned out. Katie pursed her lips and smiled apologetically at Sarah: "Joshua bought some snacks, and we are playing each other. Do you... want to join?"

"Hey, what's the show? James and I still want to make out at night!" Joshua pushed Katie out without waiting for her to invite her out, winked and said with a smile, "You guys should go to bed earlier too. !"

Following James' low curse "Asshole, who wants to make out with you", Joshua has already closed the door of their room, leaving Katie standing in the corridor wringing her fingers awkwardly.

"Sorry, I've been on the phone for a while." Sarah broke the silence first, and greeted Katie, "There is still a scene to be filmed tomorrow morning, so let's rest earlier!"

"Oh, good." Katie walked into the room somewhat at the same time, and when Sarah thought that she would be so awkwardly silent tonight, the girl bit her lip and spoke! "I'm sorry, Sarah, I apologize for my stupid words earlier, I was so jealous, Sarah, can you forgive me?"

Sarah smiled when she heard the words, and received Katie's apology, she also reciprocated, and took the initiative to reach out and hold Katie's, just like two kindergarten children holding hands again after a quarrel, a body language is sometimes better than a hundred sentences." It's okay" is more convincing. When the two girls held hands together, Sarah could clearly hear Katie's exhalation, and her tight shoulders relaxed.

"When the husband and wife still quarrel, a small conflict will not affect our friendship. Look, we are still so young, and there are so many opportunities. Maybe one day, you have already won the Oscar statuette and stepped into the Marriage hall, and I'm still running around in various studios! Who can tell in the future?" Sarah blinked, and decided to reveal Kevin's words to Katie, "Do you know what Kevin and I talked about just now? You probably Misunderstood, Kevin is not planning to improve my role, in fact, he is planning the ending of Jane, maybe in the last episode of this season, maybe in the beginning of the second season, Jane will die of illness..."

"What? How is this possible?" Katie obviously didn't believe it. She shook her head and squeezed Sarah's hand tightly, and the smile on her face became a little far-fetched. Comfort me with such absurd lies, really, I have already figured it out, you are indeed better than me, it is right to increase your role, it is for the good of the whole TV series, I was too unreasonable to make trouble before."

"Stop, stop, stop apologizing. If you don't believe me, you can ask Kevin yourself tomorrow. He told me the news himself. He wants to write me down, and I...I..." Sarah's nose soured , couldn't help choking up, she shook her head in confusion, as if confiding to Katie or muttering to herself, "I don't know why, I've always tried to do my best, why should I Fire me? Am I not responsible for the ratings? This...it's not fair...Oh, look, how ridiculous, a few hours ago I was laughing at you for being fair in Hollywood, and now, I am screaming unfair Wipe your tears!"

"Poor Sarah..." Katie doubted for a second, she wanted to find traces of performance from Sarah's tears, but Sarah seemed really sad, like an abandoned child, helpless and wronged.

"Don't cry, maybe Kevin is teasing you? You are so nice, he has no reason to fire you... Poor Sarah, come, wipe your tears." Katie was finally moved by Sarah's tears, and she sucked Nose, while handing Sarah a tissue, he said equally aggrieved, "Acting is such a hard job, why do we do this? I feel that I am becoming less and less like myself."

Sarah's body shrank a little, she pinched the tissue, her knuckles were slightly white from the force——

"Yes, we are less and less like ourselves..."

"Pfft..." Joshua spat out the milk he had just drank from his mouth. Fortunately, James, who was sitting across from him, moved quickly and avoided the biochemical weapon that struck him early in the morning.

"WHY! Kevin actually wants to write you to death in the second season?" Joshua exclaimed while wiping his mouth.

"Sh... Keep your voice down!" Sarah put a finger on her lips, but it was too late, and many colleagues who had breakfast in the crew looked over, and soon the whole crew heard the news.

When everyone was whispering about this, Sarah, the protagonist of the rumor, had put down the script and stood in front of the camera, preparing for the most challenging acting scene in the first season——

Jane from New York lied to her friends in town. Not only was she not a virgin, she was even drunk and raped. Even the real reason for her transfer was not her sick grandpa, but Because her dissolute life style angered her parents, she was kicked out of New York. In a sense, she was like a labor prisoner who was exiled to her grandma!And not a hip girl from a metropolis visiting relatives!She used lies to cover up the past, she was ashamed of herself, but she was extremely wronged, her tears were not worthy of sympathy?But who is born a bad girl?The old man who got her drunk back then was the culprit!

"CUT! It's great! Sarah, your performance is perfect!" Following the director's call to stop, James, who was playing directly with Sarah, was the first to applaud, and other cameras, directors, and makeup artists also joined in. Recognize Sarah, encourage Sarah, and comfort Sarah with applause.

"Kevin is too much. He must have read Sarah's novels to arrange the script like this. He actually wants to expose his scars in front of the national audience. This is too cruel for a 17-year-old girl." A makeup artist Muttering softly, she looked at Sarah whose eyes were red from crying, and rushed straight up to hold Sarah in her arms.

Many people also silently sighed: "Look, this girl is crying so pitifully, how is she acting? Her tears are too real, it seems that the news is true, Kevin doesn't like her, not only exposing her Scar, and write her to death in the second season?"

"But it doesn't make sense. Sarah is a pretty and cheerful girl, and she gets along very well with everyone, and even attracted more ratings for the series. Hey, I really can't figure out why Kevin hates her."

"Hmm, keep your voice down, Kevin is here..."

Kevin stood at the outermost edge with a dark face. Although people stopped talking when they saw him, those accusations still got into his ears. What's worse, he didn't even need to turn his head to feel the low voice coming from behind him. Air pressure, damn it, he just went to greet the executive producer sent by Warner TV, why did the whole crew change when he came back?

Sarah!It must be the girl's trick. What did she notice?Kevin's eyes were vigilant and a bit unfriendly, and he fell on Sarah at the first time, and this move confirmed the rumors in the eyes of others—look, Kevin glared at Sarah in front of the whole crew , he absolutely hates Sarah, to the point where he can't be bothered to hide it.

At this time, the middle-aged man in a suit standing behind Kevin happened to take a step forward and took everything into his eyes. His expression was also not good, and he whispered to Kevin: "That's enough, Kevin, look at me A trip is too necessary!"

10 minutes later, Sarah and several other members of the crew came to the conference room. As a Warner TV executive and producer of the show, the middle-aged man in a suit named Ross yelled at Kevin as soon as he closed the door. Get up: "For your ridiculous story line, for your damn first love memories, you actually want to drive away the most valuable character in the show? Kevin, are you crazy? You are not writing a novel, you are filming for a week Putting on a weekly show, can you imagine how many viewers will be lost after writing Sarah to death? My previous phone calls were for nothing? Has the audience survey data given to you been used as a table footer? 70% of the votes! What you want to fire is not a dispensable actor, what you want to fire is 80% of the audience ratings!"

story line?Memories of first love?Sarah just had to think about it casually to sort out the ins and outs.She raised her brows, and faced the embarrassed Kevin with an unbelievable face, and sneered in her heart—"Want to encourage me to be your envoy? Want me to bear the dissatisfaction of investors and other members of the crew? The silly 17-year-old girl of the movie dream, this plot may work, but sorry, you will be disappointed!"

"So you have already decided to change actors? Just because my brilliance overwhelms the perfect Joey in your mind, you are going to fire me? Why do you think about me? Movies are my stage, and the decision is up to you." Me, these are all deceiving me? Kevin, do you know how I suffered last night? I trust you so much, and I am so grateful to you, but you are using me!" Sarah said Shaking her head with a hurt face, as if she couldn't accept the sad reality that "a close friend" suddenly turned into a "conspirator", she looked directly into Kevin's eyes, tears rolled in her eyes, just like any girl who was hit by reality, she Angry and wronged.

"Oh, Sarah, don't cry, don't worry, we won't fire you, you just heard what I said, this show can't live without you, you are the soul of this show, without you this show will be over. Like the most caring elder, Rose wrapped his arms around Sarah's shoulders and patted comfort, while still putting pressure on Kevin, "What did you say to Sarah? How could you have the heart to deceive such a simple girl!" Why are you still standing there, you should apologize to Sarah and rewrite the second season script for her."

"I..." Kevin took two steps closer to Sarah and stopped again. He turned his head to the side so as not to look at Sarah, and said in a stiff and stubborn tone, "What I said is not wrong, I I didn’t deceive her, nor encouraged her. Sarah should indeed go to a wider stage. She relied on the popularity brought by the Oscars to get the chance to participate in a movie. She didn’t need to waste her youth on a procrastinating TV series, God knows When the series is over, those movie opportunities are still there, and those directors who are interested in her will not see her."

Sarah let out a small whimper, but she didn't argue with Kevin.Because she was unable to refute what Kevin said, at least as a 17-year-old girl who just entered the industry, it would be wiser to keep her mouth shut.

Who said Westerners are all straight. Bowel?In Sarah's view, Kevin's mind is definitely full of twists and turns, and every word he says is so sincere, as if he is really thinking of Sarah, but if Sarah really listens to him What about leaving the crew voluntarily?She will bear the reputation of being ungrateful and abandon the TV series that dig her up and cultivate her, especially since she has no contracted agent and a strong public relations team, her bad reputation will spread ten or ten times in the circle from now on .

This is not alarmist talk. Sarah also knew about the Hollywood American drama circle in her previous life. She can cite no less than ten similar examples. For example, Will, the protagonist of "The Good Wife" did not want to continue to participate in the show, but was arranged by the screenwriter to die inexplicably. Not to mention, the reputation has been extremely bad since then, as well as Don Nick who played Charlie in "Lost", Sasha in "NCIS", Rita in "Bloodthirsty Forensic", and "Grey's Anatomy" Catherine in the movie... No crew is willing to let the main actor leave. This will have a huge impact on the following plots and even the ratings. In serious cases, it will even arouse the public's anger and abandon the show on a large scale. Therefore, unless the actor is really pregnant because of Pregnancy, car accident, death and other force majeure cannot perform, otherwise there will inevitably be conflicts between the crew and the actors, and the negative impact after the conflicts can be large or small, it is unknown!

For Sarah, who already has a black history, she really doesn't need to add more fuel to the black history, especially since she is about to cooperate with the national idol Leonardo DiCaprio. There will undoubtedly be a new round of media bombardment. What will the media say then? What will the crew of "Age of Love" say?Sarah couldn't help but rubbed her head and groaned in pain.

Rose, who was beside her, immediately expressed her concern. Obviously, Rose is trying to resolve the script turmoil, let Kevin compromise, and let Sarah stay, but he is destined to be disappointed.

After some fruitless arguments, Kevin was the first to lose patience. As the creator and founder of the show "Age of Love", he provided the idea for the whole show, acting as the scriptwriter and producer, without There is no doubt that Kevin is the core soul of this show, he has the greatest right to speak!Just now Ross said that the series cannot be without Sarah, but in fact the series cannot be without Kevin. Now that Kevin has eaten the weight and is determined, he thinks that Sarah’s role is an eyesore. As an investor, Ross can only look up to the sky in frustration. Sigh, he can't change Kevin's determination even by threatening to divest, so what else can he do?

"Even if you are suspected of using me, Kevin, I am not an ungrateful person, so I accept your suggestion and quit "Age of Love." Sarah smiled sadly, and finally asked as if she was unwilling, "But can you give me an honest answer, why did you fire me?"

"I...because..." Kevin frowned and finally put away the stubborn mask that had been hanging on his face all the time. He showed a guilty expression to Sarah, and his lips twitched before finally replying in a low voice, "Remember you said you passed Did the episode see my soul? This drama is my memory of my youth. So sorry, I know that as a qualified and competent screenwriter, I should match the ratings, but I can't do it, I can't stand it brewing in my heart The story of half a lifetime has been changed to something else."

"Okay, I understand." Sarah nodded slowly, mocking herself, "Then I hope that the second generation Jane you found won't steal Joey's limelight again."

"Yes, I will definitely not let this happen again. After all, there are not many girls like you who are one in a million." Kevin smiled, his eyes gradually softened, he walked up to Sarah, and said sincerely, "Although I know that explanations may be useless, I still want to tell you that what I said last night was sincere. Sarah, your brilliance should not be wasted and buried. I wish you can go further!"

"Thank you." Sarah smiled back. Although she was very disgusted with Kevin's calculations, since the other party played the card of warmth, how could she lose the chain as an actor?Like a moved silly girl, Sarah took the initiative to hug Kevin. Although she still had a role to film, she knew that this hug was their farewell.

A smile to obliterate all grievances?No!of course not!Sarah has never been the kind of generous and brainless fool, so——

Kevin Williamson, she made a note of it!

The author has something to say:

Today's topic is about the bad things that American drama actors and crew producers can't figure out, because the actors think the pay is too low, because of the conflict between the actors and the screenwriters, because the actors want to seek a better development space...etc. The cooperation broke up, and the new impression is Patrick Dempsey, the actor of the handsome doctor Derek in "Grey's Anatomy".Interested babies can check the whole story——

It is said that Patrick signed for 12 seasons, but Derek was arranged to die in a car accident in the 11th season. This is because Patrick wanted to play other roles. He became famous for "Grey's Anatomy" and was even named the sexiest in Hollywood. Of course the opportunity came for the man, and then the conflict between the crew and him also arose.Why are you always late, always playing big cards, and various reasons, making it very unpleasant.It is said that the screenwriter arranged his character's death to disgust him on purpose, because in reality, the driver likes racing and let him have a car accident...

I won’t repeat the details here, anyway, there are quite a few similar stories, so you can check them yourself.

Speaking of the novel now, Dai Lin doesn’t want Sarah and Kevin to stage a tearful drama. After all, Sarah is still a small character just entering the industry, and it’s Sarah’s reputation that will be damaged if she makes it too ugly.

Finally... ah ah ah ah!Babes, don't save to watch, brushing the number of favorites, reading comments and interacting with relatives every day is the biggest motivation for Dailin's update!

COMEON! COMEON!
