unofficial hollywood life

"Jodie Foster's performance in this film is indeed capable of competing for an Oscar. She has never had such a fragile personality before, right?" Geena Davis talked to her agent in a remote movie theater in Los Angeles. The man spoke in a low voice.

This movie theater is small and remote, and there are not many people in normal movies, so the two people sitting in the back seat and talking did not affect others.

"It's hard to say, although there has been a breakthrough in the image, but this kind of subject matter shouldn't have much impact on the Oscars, right?" Her manager said hesitantly.

It's not that Jodie Foster is bad, her acting skills have always been above the standard, but the problem is that this movie really has no connotation, especially after being bombarded by "Pretty Woman" last year, this kind of routine The plot of the movie has been seen thoroughly, can she win an Oscar with this kind of movie?

What's more, how long has it been since her last actress?To get an Oscar so quickly, do you really think you are Katharine Hepburn?

"How big do you think the gap is between me and her?" Gina asked after listening to the manager's words.

Her new film, Thelma & Louise, will be released in May.And this elaborate work of Ridley Scott received unanimous praise during the internal screening, especially her performance with Susan Sarandon, which was called shocking.Even the Pulitzer Prize winner Roger Ebert thinks she is very likely to win an Oscar statuette of her own with this character earring.Because of this, MGM is very optimistic about this movie. In order to make the movie more profitable, they also plan to score an Oscar nomination for her during the awards season.

From Gina's point of view, just a nomination is certainly not what she wants. The year before last, she won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for "The Unexpected Passenger". What's the point of getting the Best Actress statuette?

So for her possible potential opponents, Gina will go into the cinema to watch their movies when they are released, and analyze her possibility of winning.

This is especially true of Jodie Foster.Thinking that she will have a thriller movie coming out soon, she can't be careless. The actress is also a very powerful actress who is well-received by the academy, and she is really a big threat to her.

Well, those who can make their way in the 80s, when there are many talents, are not simple characters. Those who have a bent mind can completely make the car run a few rounds.

Especially the current Oscar PR is not as crazy as it was later made by the Weinstein brothers. Most people still rely on their own strengths, and they care more about their opponents.

Geena Davis is a prime example, as is her Thelma & Louise co-star Susan Sarandon.

Now she's sitting alone in a movie theater looking at a close-up of Jodie Foster's face.

"...Nick?" Keira, who was about to walk out of the church in the small town, put on her sunglasses and called out a name with some hesitation when she saw a man with a familiar face approaching her.

"Huh?" Nick had a surprised expression on his face.

He didn't seem to recognize the lady who was still wearing sunglasses in the church.

"Kayla." She took off her eyes and showed a slightly wistful smile.

She didn't expect to meet her first love here, so her recent luck is really bad, right?

"Keira Audley?" Before the surprise on Nick's face faded, he was taken aback by the other's face after taking off his sunglasses.

He only knew one Keira, his first love in boyhood, but the lady in front of him looked both familiar and strange, but more like another Keira, the big star Keira Tolman.

"Yeah, Keira Audley." Keira smiled.

"You... seem to be a little different from before." Nick touched his nose and said a little uncomfortably.

When he was in love with Kayla back then, the sweet talk of pistachio was free of money, but now he turned around and couldn't recognize her, which was a bit too embarrassing.

"Well, I dyed my hair, changed my name, and had a little surgery on my face." Judy raised her hand and made gestures on her face a few times, making an expression that you understand.

So it's normal not to recognize her, not to mention she was wearing sunglasses.

On this point, she didn't pretend that she was very hurt.

No one will never forget their first love more than ten years ago. This is not writing a love novel. It is too unrealistic to see who the other party is at a glance when they meet after decades.And she's changed a lot, Kayla's fingers moved, trying to touch her face, but gave up before touching it.

All the paths are chosen by herself. She has never regretted it before, and she will not regret it now.

"Yes, you're much prettier, uh, I mean you've always been pretty..." Nick said in a hurry.

Attempting to explain that she wasn't saying she wasn't pretty before drew a chuckle from the audience.

The slightly depressing atmosphere before was swept away, and the sky seemed to brighten up.

Garry Marshall has improved, as film critic Paul Griess put it.Holding Jodie Foster, the Oscar winner, and Mel Gibson, the box office bomb, this director can be said to have a good hand. If there is no improvement, it will be unreasonable.At least this movie doesn't look like the pure chick flick of Pretty Woman, without the usual sweet and cloying style from start to finish.

Jordan, another film critic, objected to this, why is "Pretty Woman" so sweet from beginning to end?There is also heaviness and helplessness in that film, okay?Isn't Garry Marshall's style to let these heaviness and helplessness gradually resolve during the film, and give the hero and heroine a happy ending?

However, these things did not affect Director Marshall, the real central figure who was slandered in his heart. This old gentleman was enjoying his own work proudly at this time.

To be honest, he originally planned to take a break after "Pretty Woman", but who told him to encounter the script "Love in New York" again?The story was so to his liking that when Arnon Milkan approached him, the gentleman agreed to continue directing with little hesitation.

With the background of "Pretty Woman", in addition to the higher salary of this movie, he also has a ladder bonus after the movie is sold well.Who would dislike their own money?Gary is no exception.

Especially during the internal test screening, everyone responded well to this movie, even if it repeats its old ways, so what?Hasn't Woody Allen been filming one story all his life?Marshall feels that at least he is much better than the other party in terms of integrity. No matter what, he will change the way of telling and different storylines to attract the audience into the cinema, instead of relying on his name to fool them into the cinema. ,that's enough.

The story of Nick and Keira in the movie continues.

"...we made a film together and he said he and his wife were separating and getting divorced and then he pursued me. I'm a fool to believe him every time and wait for him Divorce and marry me, but you can see the result later, I became a woman who destroys other people’s families and is hated by the people of the United States.” Kayla sat cross-legged on the bench, and fished it out of the bag at hand A can of beer.

"Hey——" There was a sound of steam, and she held the can in one hand, and shook the other hand, looking very heroic, and poured herself half a can of beer.

At this time, she is no longer that elegant big star, but seems to have returned to her girlhood, that wanton and crazy time.

"That's it?" Nick was also sitting on the bench, also holding a beer can in his hand.

It seemed that she couldn't believe why Keira, who had always been smart, would fall into such a trick.

"That's it. You know, when a person falls in love, IQ will always run away from home for a period of time. Unfortunately, in this relationship, my IQ has never been at home." Keira shrugged , not very concerned.

It was obvious from Jack's silence after their relationship was exposed that she was a fool!

"Uh, I remember you were not like this when I was in a relationship." Nick looked at Keira with a slightly weird look.

It felt as if I hadn't been loved so passionately at the beginning.

"Come on, I was crazier when I was in love with you!" Keira complained about him.

"Do you know? I used to plan to elope with you, but later, my mother died, and my father automatically obtained my custody rights. I can't leave if I don't want to." She revealed a secret.

Her father has come to the town to arrest people himself, what else can she do?By the time she found a chance to run back, Nick was no longer in the town... Forget it, there was no need to mention this kind of thing.

Kayla leaned back in her chair and took another sip of her beer.

Tsk, this taste really hasn't changed for decades, no wonder I can't get out of this small town!

Nick opened his mouth, as if he didn't know what to say.More than ten years have passed, and it seems too late to say anything now.

"By the way, do you still remember Banks?" After thinking for a while, Nick mentioned someone without embarrassing the atmosphere between the two.

"Rick Banks? What's wrong with him?" Keira frowned, pulling out a name from her memory.

"He has become the priest here now." Nick coughed, as if talking about something embarrassing.

"Father?" Keira was shocked by the news.

He actually became a priest?

"Yes, that's right, it's a priest." Nick rolled his eyes, as if he couldn't believe it.

At the beginning, they were quite influential figures in their school days. A handsome guy and a beautiful woman co-starred in the shortened version of "Romeo and Juliet" in the school drama club. Rick Banks was the priest who presided over their wedding.

Well, having said that, the atmosphere between the two became awkward again.

"Well, Banks became a priest, what about you? Where did you go after that?" Fortunately, Keira has been in Hollywood for so many years, so she quickly changed the subject, breaking the atmosphere that was about to turn silent.

"Me, I became a chef, you know my dad was a chef, so I kind of inherited his career. Then, I got married and I was busy working every day creating new menus, and then my wife thought I Too much neglect of the family, so I filed for divorce, and took my baby away by the way, so I had to call to make an appointment if I wanted to see her, and maybe I would be released." Nick smiled self-deprecatingly, Tan Shou said his situation was not much better.

"And then I failed in the battle with my competitors. The psychiatrist said that I had problems with my body function due to too much pressure and too much mental tension, and I needed to adjust." He pointed to his nose and smiled wryly. explain.

"There is no problem detected by the instrument. It is very likely that your sense of smell loss is caused by psychological problems. This may be related to the reason for your divorce. The pressure and loss that your work brings to you makes you very subconsciously Rejecting my own work..." He thought of the psychiatrist who was explaining his illness to him endlessly.

What a fucking life!

"Um, I'm sorry?" Kayla put down the beer can, thinking for a moment.

Regarding Nick's situation, she really didn't know how to comfort him. She lost her marriage, her daughter, and her job. This life was really as miserable as hers.

"I'm not sorry. It's none of your business. The problem lies with me. I haven't balanced my life and work well, and conflicts will always break out one day. It's just a matter of time." Nick waved his hand, signaling that the other party doesn't mind.

"Well, here's to our miserable lives!" Kayla nodded and raised the beer can again.

"Cheers to our terrible life!" Nick also raised the beer in his hand.

"Hahahahaha——" After drinking the beer with a toast, the two laughed at the same time.

"Are we the self-consolation of two frustrated people?" After laughing, Keira tilted her head and asked.

She seemed to be a little drunk, and she had double vision when she looked at Nick.

"Maybe, maybe you can develop a program after you return to Hollywood, looking for those frustrated people to talk about their lives?" Nick joked.

Alcohol is indeed a magical thing, which makes people's whimsy come out constantly.

"Haha, I'm an actor, the kind of thing you said needs a program producer to complete." Keira laughed and explained to Nick.

This man is always like this, his head seems to be connected to an infinite world, and he always thinks up some weird things.

Keira smiled and tilted her body, as if she was so drunk that she was about to collapse.

Unlike the audience's expectation of falling on Nick's shoulders, the quite anti-routine of "Love in New York" made her fall directly on the grass.

"Bang——" Keira fell to the ground with a loud noise, which startled both Nick and the audience.

But then the hateful audience burst out laughing.

This is really a very subversive role. On the screen and in magazines, Keira is a delicate, high-pressure and beautiful female star, but in private she is an ordinary silly girl.

Look at her, now this stupid drunk girl has her face pressed against the lawn, and she is curled up into a ball.

I don't know why, but everyone suddenly felt a little sour when they saw such a Keira.

In fact, she is not greedy, she just wants a relationship, but every time she fails, instead she gets hurt more and more each time.

"Hey, Keira, are you okay?" Nick, who was taken aback, also reacted now, and quickly jumped up from the bench and knelt in front of Keira and patted her face, trying to wake the girl up.

"Huh?" Keira, who was awakened by the patting, opened her eyes in a daze, "Another can?"

"Hahahahaha——" The audience who were still sad just now couldn't help laughing again.

This is not falling hard enough, so do you want to make persistent efforts?

"God!" Nick, who was slapped on the face, looked at Keira who turned over speechlessly, trying to spend the night on the grass, and called out to God.

But God, the old man is too busy, and really has no time to deal with his believers, so he can only solve the matter in front of him.

"Really, you troublesome man." Sighing, Nick, who was so frightened that he was sober, reluctantly carried Keira on his back, planning to take her home to rest temporarily.

If she is allowed to sleep here for one night, then the headline of the newspaper the day after tomorrow will probably be Keira Tolman Sleeping in the Park because of her heartache and drunkenness!

"...Actually, I wrote you many, many letters, but you never replied to me; I also called you, but the number I dialed was empty; I went to I looked for you in Manhattan, and I followed the address you gave me, but the janitor told me that the owner had moved away long ago..." Nick walked inside the house under the moonlight with Kayla on his back.

While walking, he babbled about the old events that were sealed in his memory.

First love is always unforgettable, no exception, including Nick.

Keira left him her address and phone number when she left the town. At that time, Nick’s biggest motivation every day was to earn enough pocket money to buy stamps, write letters, and ask the girl he liked. How are you doing?Then, during the holidays, he saved enough money to buy a ticket to Manhattan, because he couldn't get through the phone and the letters he sent didn't go anywhere, which made him very worried about what happened to her.

As for Keira Tolman?He also once suspected that the big star was his Keira?But his Keira will not have a standard London accent, nor will she have such a perfect nose, and even her eyes are not so big... and Keira Tolman grew up in England, Keira · Audley is an ordinary girl in a small town, the gap is too big, so big that he dare not think that these two identities are actually the same person.

The moonlight stretched the shadow of the two together, but the audience watching the movie had tears in their eyes.

Nick's seemingly rambling words made people sound particularly sad.Who hasn't had a young age yet?Young people are always prone to passion, act recklessly, and can be desperate for love.

Some viewers even linked the plot to themselves.

The American people have always been unrestrained and enthusiastic. You will never know how many couples have eloped without telling their parents. You also have no way of knowing how many people really write letters every day like Nick once did. Calling or even saving money to go out of town just to meet the girl he loves.

Keira and Nick seem to be the epitome of their youth, many people think so.

How did they miss it?Looking at the slightly sad shadow, the audience in countless movie theaters in the United States had such a thought in their minds.

"If you have a question, will you speak up?" Looking at the hard-working Nick and Keira in the movie, Tom whispered into Diana's ear and asked.

This bloody plot!He didn't even know what to say, should he praise Diana for her big brain and rich imagination?

But this kind of plot also gave him a bad feeling. In the final analysis, the reason why the couple missed it was because they buried everything in their hearts and did not say it, which led to the tragedy of the two people. Otherwise, Nick's daughter's mother is going to be replaced now.

"Don't worry, even if I disappear, you can still find me in my father's restaurant." Diana was taken aback by the question, and couldn't help laughing.

He whispered to Tom's ears.

Really, this guy can really think wildly.

"I'm just a little bit worried, you're an art girl," Tom murmured.

Don't guess what the literary worker is thinking. He still dare not say that he fully understands his girlfriend, let alone studies and understands the behavior of the other party. It is normal to have this kind of worry.

"At least I won't have plastic surgery so that you can't recognize me." Diana's eyes were extraordinarily bright against the light from the movie screen in the dark.

"Well, I admit that's a good reason," Mr Crews agreed.

How hard is it to have plastic surgery for such a face?Can it be more beautiful than this?

The two men didn't even notice John Cusack sitting behind them when they were muttering.

The poor man who failed to pursue Diana was almost broken by the scene in front of him, not because of his failed pursuit, but because he was still single as Valentine's Day approached.

The failure to pursue the Morgan chick seems to have brought some kind of curse to him, which caused this handsome guy's relationship road to be quite difficult, and he was just slapped and kicked off by his girlfriend.

And the couple in front still hurt his eyes with such an intimate behavior, which is really heartbreaking.
