Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 102: Different sky

   "Hinkley's gun!?"

"Yes."

   Charlotte tilted her head and thought.

   "Of course, the gun that killed JFK (Kennedy) is better, but that matter is still a mystery..."

   "But why?"

   Charlize could not understand at all,

   "Can the gun that killed the President of the United States kill God?"

"indeed so."

  Charlotte nodded,

   "Even if Reagan did not die."

   "This question is actually related to the source of the gods."

   Charlotte explained,

   "Primitive gods, like ghosts, actually come from people's fears, fears of various incomprehensible forces in nature, like wind, rain, thunder and lightning, like flames."

   "So, the original gods from the beginning were some representatives of natural forces?"

   Charlize tried to understand what Charlotte meant.

   "Yes. However, the reason why gods were later distinguished from ordinary ghosts is that they were sacrificed by humans."

   "Sacrifice!?"

   "This is a very crucial point!"

   Charlotte’s tone is solemn,

"Accepting the sacrifices of the believers, the gods will be able to satisfy people's corresponding wishes. If there is no sacrifice, they will make trouble. In this sentence, if the sacrifice is replaced by taxation, you feel that there is a violation of peace. Sally?"

   "Tax!?"

   Charlize was taken aback, and then he reacted.

   "Indeed, in this way, in the hearts of ancient people, gods and rulers are very similar!"

   "That's right!"

  Charlotte affirmed the girl’s conclusion,

   "In particular, many rulers will compare themselves to gods or their spokespersons. Therefore, since ancient times, the impression of gods and rulers in people's minds has been somewhat entangled."

   "Take "Homer's Epic" as an example, the Olympus gods in it are just like big slave owners."

   "So, the weapon that kills the ruler has the ability to kill the gods?"

   Charlize always felt that this inference seemed to be wrong.

   "Of course it is not that simple. Especially in the capital-dominated society of the United States."

   Charlotte smiled.

   "But in any case, the president is the nominal supreme ruler of this land. The weapons that have assassinated the president, as long as they are used in a special way, are here to kill the gods on this land."

   "So you caught Hinckley's gun?"

   "That's right. After all, that was the most recent weapon used to assassinate the president. And—"

   Charlotte’s tone is a bit dull,

   "That's still something to do with Judy Foster..."

"indeed."

   Charlize doesn’t know how to evaluate this situation,

   "But how do you get that gun? It should be kept by the FBI in the evidence vault, right?"

   "Well, I have my own way."

  *************

   In the next few days, everything was calm.

   Independence Day holiday is coming. With the strong arrival of "Forrest Gump", the number of screens of "Fatal Bend" has begun to drastically dive, and the corresponding diving is naturally also at the box office.

   However, this is not a problem for "Fatal Corner", which has already gained a good reputation and has already made a lot of money.

   New line of production company, and distribution company Fox, are happily calculating their own earnings, and by the way, they are thinking about how to pit investors.

   And Charlotte and Lao Qiang are even more busy with the preparations for the new film "Happy Death Day", and they don't even have much interest in the box office.

   The only person who may still be concerned about the release of "Fatal Corner" may be the producer Mr. Anthony Westwood.

   It’s just that, unlike the previous appearance that he might retire due to illness at any time, he has experienced the baptism of successful chicken blood at this time, and the producer is all red.

   He calmly looked at the box office report, which was beginning to show a downward curve, while scolding his assistant Dier:

   "Have you sent out the audition invitation for "Happy Death Day"? It may take a few days for Lao Qiang and Charlotte to go to Kanjing in Southern California. I hope I can prepare for the actor audition before they come back."

   "Boss, don't you be so anxious?"

   His assistant Dill was a little disapproving.

   "Aren't they just two fledgling boys? No matter how much the role is, this is the protagonist after all! As long as they receive an invitation, can they still pounce like stray dogs?"

   "That's hard to say."

  Mr. Westwood's face taught his assistant badly,

"That Toby Maguire is okay, but I heard that Leonardo DiCaprio has recently received audition invitations for several movies. It seems that they are still important roles. Maybe next year, he will have an audition. Soaring into the sky."

   "There's still this thing!?"

  Dill immediately realized that his boss was worried about the schedule conflict, and he couldn't help but become a little anxious.

Although the director also said that Toby Maguire’s image and temperament are more appropriate, the first candidate he delineated is Leonardo DiCaprio. If the audition has not started, the first candidate. It's gone because of the schedule...

   I always feel ashamed of myself in charge of this matter.

  *************

   Leonardo didn't know the trouble he caused to others.

   Seeing his friend Toby, who was sharing with him, sat in the living room with a frustrated expression on his face, the letter he held in his hand tightened.

   "What? It failed again?"

"Yes!"

   Toby smiled bitterly and shook his head.

   "The director said that he needs a more unruly male protagonist--"

   said, he glanced at Leonardo in front of him.

   "——And me, I look too honest."

"this……"

   Leonardo didn't know how to comfort his friend.

   It is different from the era when the image of herbivorous men and nerds gradually counterattacked ten years later. In 1994, American audiences had little taste in watching movies.

   If you are a middle-aged actor, you can also learn from Tom Hanks' transformation in Forrest Gump, which is indeed very infectious.

   After all, older audiences have a deeper experience, and they are more able to accept different types of leading actors.

   But if it is a young audience ~www.readwn.com~, it is a pity that they are still in an era where they can only appreciate beautiful bad boys and strong football quarterbacks.

  For the former, that is Leonardo’s strength, and Toby’s looks are too honest;

   As for the latter, Leonardo looked at Toby’s small arms and legs, and then at his bean sprouts-like figure...

   Okay, neither of them play.

  ——This is a very embarrassing reality faced by young actors in Hollywood.

  Whether it is a literary film or a commercial film, most of the male protagonists need to be over 30 years old. In the eyes of directors, 20 years old is simply a nasty little boy.

   Except for youth films, in other films, they can only play roles such as sons or passersby.

   And what about the youth film?

   There are few types of characters in the youth film, and the play is relatively narrow. The look and temperament like Toby is not particularly suitable, and there is no chance at all.

   What's more, the Qingchun film also has an alias called "Star II Concentration Camp"——

Many of them can get important roles in promising youth films, and their family members have good connections in the showbiz. Compared to them, let alone poor Toby, even Leonardo can only be regarded as a small fish and a small shrimp. .

   Therefore, in the face of such a harsh environment, it is actually a bit difficult for Toby to get an important role when he is less than 20 years old.

   However, Leonardo didn't know how to comfort his friend.

   After all, he has already opened the door to Hollywood through the "Different Sky" released last year.

   At this time, I went to comfort Toby, who was still hovering in front of the door and couldn't enter. There was always a feeling that he couldn't speak while standing.

  -Fortunately, there is a chance now!
