Birth of an actor

The full name of "90210" is "Leaping over Beverly 90210". It is a youth school drama broadcast on FOX TV since 1990, and it has been broadcast to the fifth season.

90210 is the zip code of Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, and Beverly Hills is the residence of world-famous Hollywood superstars and rich people, so it can be seen from the title that "Leaping over Beverly 90210" must It is a drama series with words such as "rich district", "second generation of stars", "upper society" and "golden fans".

In fact, "90210" is set in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles. It tells about the friendship, family and love of teenagers from wealthy families in high school and college. Falling in love ranges from friendship to rivalry, intrigue, and mutual support and growth.

If "Louis and Clark" is the favorite TV series for boys below the United States, then "90210" is definitely the favorite TV series for girls below. I study at the coeducational Santa Monica Middle School, even though William is usually busy. I seldom follow dramas, and I am very familiar with the plot and main characters of "90210".Without him, the girls at school, from the nerds with black-rimmed glasses to the cheerleaders who love to wear short skirts and shorts, love the show so much that they discuss it all the time in class, in the cafeteria, and in the locker room.

If I had to add a description to "90210", it would be "the originator of American youth idol drama".Compared with "90210", the "Gossip Girl" of later generations not only has weak plot and local popularity, but even the ratings are far behind, and the overseas popularity is a little desirable.

Few people know that when NBC's "Friends" first aired last fall and its future was uncertain, they tried to get the light of "90210". ", trying to spread the popularity of the former as quickly as possible.Of course, because the two dramas are too different in terms of themes and audiences, the NBC TV department quickly gave up this bad idea.

William thinks that rather than saying "90210" is a prequel to "Friends", it is better to say that it is a synthesis of "Friends", "Growing Pains", and "Gossip Girl"—

"Friends" has six protagonists of three men, three women, and the story also revolves around the friendship, love and family relationship of the six people, as does "90210".

"Growing Trouble" is a sitcom that has ended on ABC TV. It tells the happy life of a multi-child family living in Long Island, New York. The main line of the plot is the growth of children and some social problems, and "90210" also revolves around The encounters of teenagers growing up and a series of social problems unfolded a lot of plots, such as underage children going to nightclubs, taking drugs, getting pregnant, dropping out of school, adult alcoholism, AIDS and apartheid in South Africa, etc.

Both "Gossip Girl" and "90210" depict the extravagant life of young people in the upper class, and both start from the high school campus. The difference is that "Gossip Girl" puts the background on the East Coast of Manhattan, New York, while " 90210" set the setting in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, on the west coast.

从1990年开播以来，《飞跃比弗利90210》在拥有超高收视、超高话题度的同时，还因剧集的出色斩获过不少奖项和题名，例如1991-1994连续四年的美国青少年艺术家奖（安慰性质）、1992-1993年的西班牙最佳外语剧集（海外影响力）、1992年的美国青少年选择奖（颇有含金量）、1992-1993的两个美国金球奖最佳电视剧集题名（分量较重）。

As Amon is excited, if William can play an important supporting role with 4-5 episodes of regular roles in such a popular TV series and perform well, then he will quickly win the attention of the audience and will Get more auditions — maybe even auditions from the big screen — and, faster, go viral.

……

William turned the key, and the warm yellow halo of the kitchen and the intoxicating aroma rushed to his face. He took a deep breath like intoxicated: "Apple pie?"

"The nose is really good." Madeleine's voice came from the kitchen: "It's ready, come and help me take it out."

William walked into the kitchen, put on thick gloves, and helped Madeleine take the baking tray out of the oven.

The skin of the apple pie was baked brown, exuding a steaming and charming aroma. The hungry William couldn't wait to cut a small piece and put it in his mouth. It tasted sweet and moving, with a hint of cinnamon aroma. William's actions were particularly exaggerated. Said: "This is the best apple pie I've ever eaten!"

Madeleine's expression looked very satisfied and proud: "This is also the best compliment I've ever heard."

William sucked his finger: "Did someone call me when I went to Los Angeles today?"

Madeleine reluctantly and amusedly pulled out a kitchen paper towel and handed it to William: "Use this to wipe your hands, and you can't use your fingers anymore—why can't you always fix this problem?"

William took the tissue to wipe his hands, and grinned at Madeleine with an extremely childish smile.How could it be possible for a human being to have no eccentricities at all?After eating desserts—especially after donuts—William always sucks his fingertips involuntarily, just like some people like to gnaw their fingernails. The school life has already made William perfect in public etiquette, but when he is extremely relaxed with friends and family, he always forgets to act, and can't help showing these little eccentricities again.

Madeleine turned around and opened the cupboard to find two glasses. She poured herself a glass of red wine and a glass of juice for William: "Danny called to ask if you want to go for a drive in the city, and I said you have already gone." Lynn bakes apple pies just for her son. She has been used to dieting all year round to keep fit. After dark, she basically eats nothing but fruit or vegetable salad.

That guy Danny loves to eat, drink and have fun, so he must have nothing serious to come to him, most likely because he wants to borrow his Bugatti for a ride.William guessed so, and planned to call Danny back later.

"Ah, yes, there is another call." Madeleine winked at her son teasingly: "It's Claire."

"Claire?" William's expression was somewhat confused: "But we have already broken up."

"Break up? Didn't you guys have a good time last week?" Madeleine swung the red wine in the glass: "Maybe she wants to get back with you, Claire is a beautiful girl, if you want to bring her back for the night, mom won't opposing."

"Mom!" William became a little annoyed.

……

Coming out of the bathroom, William wiped his wet hair with a towel.

When he walked past the desk, the wind blowing from his body knocked a piece of paper to the ground. William bent down to pick it up. The piece of paper had Lance's address in London written on it.

When he contacted Lance for the last time, William heard the news that the other party had entered Eton—Eton actually didn’t welcome transfer students, especially those who transferred in the last academic year, but because Tyler Roderick smashed With a large amount of sponsorship money, and a well-known alumni from the British Waddington family offering a guarantee, Eaton showed an extremely tolerant side.

William still remembers Lance's tone when he said it: "Money, fame and power, ha!"

To be honest, William is really curious about Eton College. I heard that Eton still retains caning?Moreover, the seniority system in which the juniors obeyed the seniors always reminded him of "the cradle of gays", and he couldn't help feeling sincerely worried about his blond-haired, blue-eyed, beautiful and amazing friend.

William misses mobile phones and computers a little bit again—of course not referring to the popular giant computers, but thin, convenient and efficient laptops—what a wonderful era when video images can be freely transmitted even across thousands of mountains and rivers, When technology exists, I don't feel anything, and when it disappears, I feel a lot of inconvenience.

Of course, it is very convenient to make a call now. In addition to the telephone, the mobile phone was invented by Motorola chief designer Martin Cooper as early as 1973. Yes, the personal mobile phone business in North America has also been launched since 1983. Last year, the 2110 portable mobile phone, which is smaller in size (can be grasped in one hand) and cheaper in price, was launched last year. However, the price of Nokia mobile phones in the thousands of dollars and the high cost of mobile phone calls still make mobile phones a part of the eyes of most ordinary people for the time being. luxury goods.

William's income has gradually improved now, but he still needs to be careful with his budget, because he will go to college next summer.

William's goal is TOP10, and the tuition fees of these schools are usually very expensive. Taking Harvard University as an example, the annual tuition, board and lodging fees are less than [-] US dollars, and it is impossible to study. Now many families in the United States have an annual income of less than [-] US dollars.Ivy League scholarships are more difficult to apply for. He has to prepare for the possibility that he cannot apply for a scholarship, needs a loan or pays full tuition fees—otherwise, why did William first become a model and then try to become an actor? What about part-time job?One is because I like it, and the other is because the hourly salary of actors is relatively high.

Find a photo album, and solemnly sandwich the producer with Lance's address and phone number in it. When he put it back on the desk, he suddenly saw a photo with Claire on the desk. Girlfriend calls back.

William picked up the phone and dialed the number: "Hi, Claire, I heard you're looking for me?"

"Hi Will, yes, I called you during the day, but you weren't home."

"I went to Los Angeles."

"Louise and Clark, right? I heard from Danny, he also said that you have a brand new Bugatti Veyron, which is a cool car, have you ever thought about when to take it Shall I go for a drive together?" Claire's voice was as sweet as black tea with too much sugar: "Listen, Will, I'm looking for you because, uh, about the agreement we made before, do you still... "

"Which agreement?" William fell on the bed with the phone in his arms, and said with a twisted corner of his mouth, "I only remember the slap you gave me at the school gate, and those breakup vows."

"Are you resenting me, Will?" Claire said aggrievedly, "But I was overwhelmed by anger at the time."

Claire wanted to get back together, and William had already heard it, but he didn't intend to accept the move, but said with a smile: "Speaking of which, that slap really hurt, Claire, you must have used a lot of force at that time."

"Will, we had so many sweet times—" Claire gushed about her love for William, and her previous breakup, which was definitely a dizzy and immature decision.
