Standing on a random street in the city of New York, it is easy to be "lost" in the bustling, endless flow of prosperity, because this city is like a tube of ever-changing flowers, showing the beauty of various forms. Yan' face. The prosperity and luxury of the Upper East Side, the lushness of Central Park, the luxury and fashion of Fifth Avenue, the art and rebellion of Greenwich Village, the randomness and chaos of Brooklyn, the dignity and filth of Wall Street...

This is a city full of countless charms, like a miniature world, where people can appreciate the world, whether it is enjoying life or struggling career, it is full of countless opportunities.

Although Hugo, the countless sightseeing spots in New York, is very interested, in comparison, Hugo still has more interest in Broadway.

Broadway Avenue, which runs north-south from New York City, is the most important road in the city, not only because it is one of the most central'traffic' roads in Manhattan, but also because it gathers the world's most peak theater talents. Sweat. If there is Hollywood on the West Coast of the United States, then the East Coast has a world-famous cultural heritage because of the existence of Broadway. This has also led to the emergence of cultural circles with their own characteristics on the east and west coasts of the United States, forming a comprehensive confrontation from movies to music, and this confrontation has also contributed to the prosperity of the entire American entertainment culture.

Broadway Avenue is the core of American modern song and dance art. Every year, millions of tourists from all over the world sit in the seats of Broadway Theater and enjoy the ‘exquisite’ colorful drama culture that has been deposited over the centuries. The biggest feature of Broadway song and dance art is that it has no artistic restrictions. It integrates dance, music, and drama. Some repertoires integrate art and public tastes. They have strong viewing and entertainment. From "cats" to "Phantom of the Opera", from "Les Miserables" to "Miss Saigon", an endless stream of'precision' repertoires have allowed tourists from all over the world to come to this mecca of drama repeatedly to appreciate this rich and diverse art.

Hugo has always had a strong interest in Broadway drama, because it is a very rich form of artistic expression. Imagine standing on a wide stage and using your own singing and performance as a channel to present a brilliant and brilliant show. It is a kind of performance that has no retreat. A mistake may cause a chain of negative reactions, so the actor’s on-the-spot adaptability must be very outstanding.

Although the Broadway singing method is not suitable for popular music, the Broadway performance method is also too exaggerated on TV and film works. This is a performance method that only applies to the Broadway stage, but Hugo still believes that, The arts are interlinked, and I can definitely learn different things from the Broadway performances.

"Why did you choose this play?" Joseph looked at the'door' ticket in his hand, which was written with the name of a play he had never heard of, "major problem (a. matter. of., because there was no show. The actor's picture in the magazine is introduced, so Joseph doesn’t know where the highlight of this play is, “I just saw the cat in the theater, why not watch this classic play, I heard it’s very beautiful. ."

Hugo squeezed the bowler hat on his head and looked at the noisy people around. "Do you think we can buy tickets for the cat?" Although Hugo chose this theater. It’s a bit away from Times Square (.square), but the number of viewers is still considerable. It is not easy to buy tickets for a popular drama like "Cats". It is possible to book at least one week in advance. To get a chance to enter the arena, people like Hugo who come to buy tickets on a temporary basis will naturally need to step aside.

Joseph also understood what Hugo meant, and looked at the lively crowd around him, he could only shrug his shoulders helplessly. If it were a month ago, it is estimated that Joseph might start to whisper, relying on Hugo's current popularity and status, it should not be too difficult to obtain a VIP box'door' ticket; but now, Joseph has not said much. Obviously, the mentality has also been calmed down a lot.

Hugo picked up the ‘door’ ticket in his hand and pointed to the row of characters below, “Also, don’t you see this name in the cast list?”

"They didn't give me a picture magazine, how did I know..." Joseph grumbled, this is really a play without any name, and there is no even a picture magazine, so it is difficult for Joseph to produce it. interest. But when Joseph's eyes fell to the ranking character at the bottom of the'door' ticket, he was suddenly stunned, "This is..." Joseph thought it was his own eyes, and looked up at the surrounding lights. , Walked to a place with more light and glanced down, "This is Catherine Hepburn (. Hepburn)?"

Joseph raised his head and looked at Hugo, casting a confirming look, "This is the Catherine Hepburn we know?" Obviously, Joseph was not prepared enough for such a name to appear at this moment, and his eyes were full of hearts. It was surprised and unexpected.

Hugo couldn't help'showing' a satisfied smile, "When I saw it, I was also very surprised, so I learned that this drama still has a'door' ticket, so I didn't hesitate to prepare to watch it. I missed it. Opportunity, but regret for life."

Catherine Hepburn, one of the greatest'female' actors in the history of American cinema, maybe if this "one" is not included, many people will raise their hands in agreement. This'female' actor born in 1907 is from the United States. The most legendary "colorful" movie superstar is recognized as an iconic "sex" figure in American film and theater. Some people even call her "Your Majesty Catherine".

Catherine has so far maintained the highest number of Oscars for the best actress in the leading role. She has won four figurines in the twelve Oscar nominations for the leading actress, even though Meryl Streep was later nominated in the number In terms of surpassing Catherine, but Catherine is still selected by the American Film Institute as the first hundred-year greatest'female' actor in American film history.

In Catherine's actor career, she dedicated "Alice Adams (.adams, "Little'women' (.ehe..., "Guess who will have dinner (guess.ihe. , "Golden'Color' Pond (on... and many other classic masterpieces. His brilliant career as an actor began in the 1930s and lasted to the 70s. For 40 years, she became a Hollywood actress. 'An actor's benchmark character.

In addition to her ‘superb’ performance, Catherine also became the most maverick and top ‘female’ actor after the 1930s because of her wit, wit, elegance, and unruly personality.

Catherine refused to dress up as a lady'girl', she liked long'trousers' casual clothes. She was the first Hollywood'female' star to wear menswear under the screen, and was the first film history to wear a'trousers' outfit to attend the Oscars. Later, you must know that in the age when Catherine was growing up, the'feminist' movement and the liberation of'female' sex' simply did not give birth to unfamiliar concepts. ''Sex'' can't even be tolerated wearing long trousers and appearing in social social occasions. But all these restraints have no effect on her, not to mention the bad relationship between her and the reporter. The reporter simply took Catherine in no way, and loved and hated her.

Catherine’s rebelliousness has countless iconic “sex” events in her career. Except that she has never attended the Oscars to receive her Oscars, the most impressive thing for Hugo is from Yu Catherine's care for her colleagues. In 1959, Catherine collaborated with Elizabeth Taylor (.) and'Montgomery Clift (.) to film a work directed by Joseph-l-Mankiewicz (.l. "Suddeer".

Before the filming of the film, Clift suffered a car accident. During the filming, his condition continued to deteriorate. Hepburn took the initiative to take care of him and helped him give up sleeping pills and treat his illness correctly. Although Hepburn and Taylor are doing their best to take care of and maintain Clift, the director Mankiewicz is indifferent to Clift.

Once during the filming, Clift shows signs of shaking, forgetting words, or being empty, Mankiewicz will tell the producer to replace the actors, and Hepburn and Taylor join forces to threaten the director if Clift does not play them. Both also quit. Because they think that the director publicly discusses abandoning Clift, which is a kind of torture to the actors and is too cruel, they all think that Mankiewicz is an unsympathetic person.

On the day when the film was finalized, Hepburn walked up to Mankiewicz and asked him, "Are you sure you are finished filming?" and repeated it three times, after getting Mankiewicz's confirmation that there is no need to reshoot. Hepburn paused, then jumped up and slapped Mankiewicz to express his dissatisfaction with the director. Hepburn then turned and left.

Since then, Catherine Hepburn has never worked with Joseph L-Mankiewicz.

In fact, when Hugo heard about this before, he only discussed it as an anecdote. After all, life in the entertainment industry was too far away from him. But after entering the entertainment industry, Hugo realized how incredible this is. Even when the power of directors and producers has been greatly reduced, few actors dare to confront the director so directly. Not to mention the super director.

You know ~www.readwn.com~ Mankiewicz became famous as early as 1933 because of "Tao brother (, and later because of "three wives.'Yan'. History (a. letter... three) ". and "Comet Beauty (all.. Eve won the Oscar for Best Director Golden Man for two consecutive years.

It's as if someone slapped Steven Spielberg directly on the set. In 1959, it was even more incredible that the ‘female’ actor Catherine, who was still not valued at the time, performed this feat.

Especially after experiencing big-name suspicions, Hugo has even better understood how rare and difficult it is to confront reporters, defend colleagues, and stand by oneself. This also made Hugo's admiration for Catherine more profound. This "female" and "sex" can be regarded as a legendary life from the perspective of an actor or an ordinary person.

Therefore, Hugo couldn’t wait to be able to purchase tickets for the “significant issue” in which Catherine personally appeared, and Joseph took a quick step towards the entrance of the theater without saying a word, and waited to go far. After a few steps, it was discovered that Hugo hadn't followed. Joseph turned around and widened his eyes and complained, "What are you waiting for? The drama is about to begin! Hurry! Hurry!"

It was three quarters of an hour before the "major issue" began.
