Hollywood Rhapsody

It was not only Ian who followed Sarah to the set, but also Dawn, the public relations manager. Take it easy because I just got word that today's award ceremony is going to be in the LA Times...Social section...Honey, it's the social section! So I know you're very emotional, but take it easy and watch the news follow-up Response is making the next step.”

"Social section? Is today's event considered social news?" Sarah raised her voice an octave, obviously not expecting such a big response from an awards ceremony.

"Honey, it seems that you should reposition yourself. From last summer's "Star of Tomorrow" to the release of the movie "Sarah" to today's red carpet fans, your news has never stopped, plus Thanks to Leon's fame, you are now undoubtedly the most famous and the most watched girl in the United States - a troubled girl who has returned to the right path, an optimistic and strong unwed mother, a struggling commoner... You are the real version of the ugly duckling, you are called Recognized as a model for the growth of teenagers in the United States, the name Sarah has become synonymous with dreams!" Dawn shook the notebook in his hand at Sarah, "This is the topic that the Los Angeles Times is going to report, and your story will unfold to the contemporary Discussion on the growth of adolescents."

"Wow... the intention is far-reaching... I can't refute it." Sarah was stunned for two seconds to digest the long list of titles. Instead of feeling happy about it, she frowned, "Is it too high-profile? There is a sentence As the saying goes, 'the higher you win, the harder you fall', but actually I tend to keep a low profile."

"But it's obviously impossible for you to keep a low profile...and please allow me to solemnly remind you, Miss Stern, you live in Hollywood." Dawn laughed and shook his head, as if Sarah had said something very idiotic, "In Hollywood , the virtue of being low-key will never appear in a rookie, maybe after you become A-list or even super A-list, we can consider using this word, but now, all your work is to catch .Seize all climbing opportunities, the more flashes you get, the more successful you are, and the more attention you get, the more promising you are. All you have to do is move forward! Forward! Forward!”

"Then can I discuss it with the Los Angeles Times? I will be grateful if I reduce the compliments to me personally in the manuscript." Sarah tapped her lower lip with her finger, and asked Dawn while thinking, "You How's your relationship with the editor?"

"It's not bad, it can be regarded as a friend." Dawn didn't elaborate, but the word friend was enough to make Sarah's heart flutter.

Sarah's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard the words, she slapped happily, and whispered to Dawn: "Try to talk to your friends, and reveal the reason for this red carpet phenomenon."

"What? What's the reason?" Dawn obviously didn't keep up with Sarah's train of thought.

"Why are there so many Sarah supporters? It's not because of Sarah's personal charm, but because she represents all teenagers from ordinary families, grassroots civilians with no background and background but dreams. Such a small person wants to become famous It’s not easy! But on such a arduous road, there are still people deliberately doing bad things and deliberately smearing..." Sarah paused at this point, and she saw the flash of understanding and excitement in Dawn's eyes, and then she continued with satisfaction , "Needless to go into too much detail, I just need to mention the slander about my drug use, as well as the truth about hiring a fake father and buying a hospital to give perjury. These malicious conspiracies are the real things that fans gather on the red carpet. □, They should have taken pictures of fans, right? It is very appropriate to quote two of the slogans - we know what is the truth! Our shoulders are on you!"

"Wonderful!" Dawn almost applauded Sarah, "The struggle history of the little people, the road full of hardships, the anger of the public aroused by malicious attacks... Who can say that these are not the real reasons? And this is more than a dream Girls are even more topical, yes, that's how the script should be! I'm calling Julianne right now, Sarah, it's going to work!"

"OK! It's up to you!" Sarah's tone seemed to entrust Dawn with her wealth and life.

This made the smile on Dawn's face even bigger. After the unpleasant conversation in the hospital, he finally had the opportunity to prove his worth to Sarah. He is a big publicist with a bright future in Hollywood!

Because of Dawn's reminder, Sarah finally gave up the idea of ​​posting a long thank you letter on Prophecy.com, and just sent a short message to her fandom society - "Fortunate in my life, you are the biggest surprise that God bestows on me! In return, I can only express my love with more and better movies."

Sarah even asked Ian for his suggestion after writing this paragraph: "Will it be too lyrical?"

"No, it's the most sincere confession I've ever seen." Ian shook his head with a smile, "I believe your fans will be very happy after seeing it. Other stars rarely respond to fans so directly. They prefer Speaking through PR is obviously more distanced, and you always make people feel close, like a cute girl next door..."

Ian couldn't help laughing and shaking his head when he said this. He suddenly felt a little jealous of Sarah's fans. After all, Sarah loved her fans, but Sarah was always business-like when facing him, a complete image of a professional woman. Without any emotion or color, even if he has a lot of work and can chat with Sarah for three days and three nights, it is impossible to change anything.

It's a pity that these inner activities of his cannot be known by Sarah. Sarah has already pressed the send button, and looking at the top short message on the computer screen, she murmurs to herself: "Make more exciting stories, high-quality This is the best response."

high quality movie...

It's not an easy thing to do...

"CUT!" Director Camberley Pierce interrupted Sarah in front of the camera loudly, shaking his head helplessly, "It doesn't feel right, my dear, it's not okay to only have anger in your eyes, I need to break down, the boy pretends to be forcibly knocked Crushed to pieces. Think about tearing off the most beautiful wings of a swan alive, tearing off the most delicate skin of a beautiful woman!"

"Hiss...that's a description..." Peter Sarsgaard, who played the role with Sarah, couldn't help but gasped, but he had to admit that this is indeed the case for the main scene.

"I see, give me another 10 minutes..." Sarah also closed her eyes and let out a long breath. The shooting in the past ten days has been perfect. The characters merged into one, and she was immersed in Brandon's world, living in it as a boy.However, the end of the story is a bloody tragedy, being raped by two boys with organs that only real men can have. For Brandon, this is tantamount to destroying his entire world. There is nothing more cruel than this Yes, there is no bloody scene in the picture, but the process is as the director said, bloody!

Sarah couldn't show that kind of breakdown. After all, she wasn't Brandon herself, and Peter, who played the role, couldn't really rape her, so she only had anger in her heart, and she was full of anger at Brandon's misfortune.Of course she knew what effect the director wanted, but it was like being separated by a layer of glass, which could be seen but not touched. It was not a body language that could be copied mechanically. The eyes needed a deeper emotional resonance.

"It still doesn't work..." Another attempt was stopped, director Pierce patted Sarah on the shoulder and shook his head, "This scene is very important, all the previous performances are for this scene, so let's take our time, don't worry, Think about it again! Tomorrow, we will try again tomorrow."

Sarah rubbed her face vigorously, the continuous NG made her depressed, and even felt a strong sense of frustration. This problem seemed to have no solution, really no solution!

Perhaps seeing through her confusion, Pierce called out to Sarah, who was about to go back to the residence with her head drooping, but when Sarah turned around, he just looked at Sarah and hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong? Is it hard to say something?" Sarah looked confused, "If you want to reprimand me, it's okay, as long as it helps the performance, you can just say it."

"It's not a reprimand. Your performance has already surprised me, so I won't yell at you." Pierce pursed his lips and said tentatively, "In fact, I had expected that you might get stuck here. And thought of a solution, but... maybe a bit extreme..."

"No! Don't!" Before Sarah asked what the method was, Peter Sarsgaard shook his head and hurriedly waved his hands and shouted, "I don't want to make a fake show, if it is If this is a bad idea, I will protest! I don't want to be a rapist, it will make me suffer from conscience condemnation for the rest of my life!"

"Eh..." Sarah's face turned green instantly, and she frowned and looked at Pierce in disbelief.

"What the hell are you thinking? Peter, how could I ask you to do that kind of thing!" Pierce was so angry that he almost growled at Peter. He raised his foot as if to kick Peter, and said in a bad mood, "Good idea, You want to get your hands on Sarah? Be careful that Leonardo and Sarah's fans will chop you into meat paste!"

"Oh! Luckily!" Peter let out a sigh of exaggerated relief while stroking his heart.

Sarah became more and more curious, but Pierce actually played tricks. He was afraid of Sarah's shoulder and said sincerely: "Sarah, I promise you that you will not be subject to any illegal violations, but I hope that the filming will be finished tomorrow." In the future, you can still treat me as a friend and welcome me to your house as a guest."

"Your words gave me a bad feeling, but... what can I say?" Sarah spread her hands, completely unaware of what medicine was sold in Pierce's gourd, so she could only helplessly say, "Then try yours tomorrow. Find a way, after all, everything is for the movie..."

Pierce nodded, looked at Sarah's back in the night and muttered in a low voice: "Indeed, everything is for the movie..."

In this scene, after Brandon's identity was exposed, she was dragged to an abandoned factory by two shameless men and raped. Therefore, everyone who has nothing to do with her needs to clear the scene.Because of this, Ian didn't know what happened on the set, but he could guess from Sarah's expression that the filming was not going well. When Sarah threw herself into the seat, she asked Ian with her eyebrows pressed together. When dealing with it, Ian held the two most difficult and important documents, hesitating whether to speak out at this juncture.

"The shooting didn't go well?" Ian's fingers tapped lightly on the folder.

"Fortunately, I encountered a small problem in the last two important scenes." Sarah closed her eyes and said in a low voice, hiding a deep sense of exhaustion. Acting is a laborious and skillful job, and she already has a deep understanding of it Unexpectedly, talking about work with Ian unknowingly became her way of relaxing after filming.So after being frustrated on the set, she didn't immediately force herself to figure out the role, but set aside some time to chat with Ian.

"I really want to find out the problem again for you to make a decision, but unfortunately, the last Napster acquisition plan has been resolved yesterday." Ian shrugged pretending to be regretful, taking advantage of Sarah's still eyes closed , Put away the two folders without a trace.The development of the company is at a very critical point. If you want to further upgrade, you need more capital injection. Does Sarah have money for additional investment?Or bring in other investors?This problem was not simple at all, but looking at Sarah's tired face now, he decided to shut up, after all, it wasn't a big problem that could be solved with money.

"Oh? It seems that I have lost the best way to relax. It is indeed a pity. But what should I do? Today is really bad... Ian, think again, please think of a proposition again, I am really I need a change of mind." Sarah opened her eyes and begged Ian by rubbing her hands.

Her aura has weakened a lot today, and she is like a puppy begging for a bone. This is a side she has never shown to Ian. Ian couldn't help being stunned for a second, feeling something lightly. The ground, but it cannot be ignored, hit him in the heart.

He rubbed his thumb and forefinger lightly on his knee, making a thoughtful expression on purpose, as if trying to whet Sarah's appetite, and before Puppy lost his patience with blinking watery eyes, he gave a well-timed smack. Snap your fingers: "Yes! There is really one thing we can talk about, you have already got the offer from the school, so do you plan to live in a dormitory or buy a property in Cambridge? It should be the latter? I guess you can't bear Xiao Nuo Ya."

"Indeed, I can't bear little Noah." Sarah nodded. She got an offer from Harvard in December, and will go to Cambridge to study at university in half a year. The house is indeed a problem that needs to be considered.

"I happen to have a property in Cambridge. If you are interested, I can take a few photos and send them. The location of the house is absolutely suitable. It takes only ten minutes to walk to the school." Ian smiled and introduced the surrounding facilities, and even The situation of the neighbors is also clear.

"Is this your current residence? I remember that Alan and the others often go to your house for a small gathering, is it in that house?" Sarah was very moved, but isn't this house Ian's home?

Ian shrugged: "It's a big house, and it's a waste of resources for me to live alone. You know, I'm a loner who spends Christmas alone... Yes, I know Alan told you that... It's okay, Don't be embarrassed by it, it's true that I mostly live alone."

"So are you going to sell the house to me or..." Sarah expressed her understanding, and the living conditions of Ian the Lone Ranger were no secret in the small group.

"This is an admission gift from my grandfather, so I don't plan to sell it, but it can be provided to you and little Noah for free. Anyway, it is empty and empty. There was a baby room on the second floor, which happened to be You can give it to little Noah." Ian added in time before Sarah refused, "The room is enough for you and Arthur, and when you are busy filming, I can... Alan and I can take care of Arthur by the way And little Noah...the company's office is nearby, and we can occasionally go to your house for dinner."

"Oh, you're too thoughtful for me, but what's the point of that? I mean you? Where should you live?" Sarah still felt that something was wrong, don't bite the pie that fell from the sky lightly.

"I live in a dormitory, at least I have Alan for company. And the company is getting more and more involved, and Alan and I are even planning to share a bed in the office! Or...you can pay my rent...you can help the boss and you can I can’t wait to earn some extra money!” Ian suggested, and hinted at the rarity of Sarah’s house, “80% of the houses in Cambridge are apartments, like my detached house with a The yard is close to the school, there are not many, you can chat with Alan, that guy knows life better than me, and will tell you where to choose the ideal place to live."

"Well, it sounds like a good choice not to be missed." Sarah nodded, planning to find a real estate agent to find out. After all, there is still half a year left, and she is not in a hurry. If there is a property with satisfactory conditions and a suitable price , she still prefers to buy it by herself, but I don't know if she has the purchasing power!The property is all in the company, website construction needs money, investing in movies needs money, and supporting public relations and assistants also needs money. Fortunately, Michael Ovitz did not charge her agent money. The job is all covered by the way, and to be honest, Sarah really loves Michael!In short, she really doesn't have much money in her hands. If she wants to buy a paparazzi-proof property in Los Angeles...

Thinking that the focus of her work is still in Hollywood and Los Angeles, Sarah hesitated a little. She felt that Ian's proposal was indeed good. Ian was a person who paid attention to the quality of life at first glance, and renting his house would definitely not be bad. Noah and Arthur living in Ian's house is really more reassuring. When she graduates, the family will definitely move back to Los Angeles.And Allen's guys are all good-natured young men. If she goes to Cambridge, they will probably take the initiative to come to take care of one or two and have a meal by the way, as Ian said. It seems to be quite warm.

Sarah thought in her heart that the bad mood of eating NG really improved a lot unconsciously. She stretched a big stretch, her whole body was stretched and relaxed, and she jumped up from the chair. Sarah showed Ian An energetic smile: "I'll go to Cambridge after I've been busy for a while, and get together with everyone and take a look at your house. Thank you, Ian, I didn't expect you to be a healer!"

"What? What cure?" Ian rarely showed a daze on his face, which was always in control of the world.

This gave Sarah a different sense of accomplishment in her heart. She smiled and admired Ian's cute expression. Of course, she could honestly say that this blond young man and "cute" couldn't hook up at all, but Sarah still rubbed her eyes secretly. Forcibly pressed the word on Ian's head, and snickered for a while because of it.

"Then, dear boss, now that the work is done, I plan to go back to Cambridge tomorrow...You... I wish you a smooth shooting tomorrow." Ian also stood up and bid farewell to Sarah with his briefcase, "Looking forward to Your Golden Globes and Oscars, Ellen and I will be waiting in front of the TV for your acceptance speech."

"Ha! Then you guys should drink two bottles of beer and go to bed early! We probably only have nominations to accompany you." Sarah shook her head, but she didn't look disappointed at all, "As the public opinion is going viral, " "Sarah" was blocked by a certain bigwig in Hollywood. Now I just hope that it will not end up with nothing. As for more awards... I will wait for next year. I will save a good public relations fee for awards, but the point is still to Let's see if I can perform the main part of "Boys Don't Cry" well tomorrow."

"Trust you, it's fine!" Ian and Sarah shook their fists like good brothers. Although he actually wanted a farewell hug, but...forget it!

The next day, when the set was quiet again and unrelated personnel cleared the scene, Sarah was pressed against the back cover of the car with blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, and behind her was an excited Peter...

Following Peter's vigorous push-up, Sarah's eyes suddenly opened wide in horror and pain. She begged, but it was useless, but it made the two beasts behind her even more excited.Nothing can remind "him" that he is a girl better than being violated. Every invasion of the organ that "he" doesn't have reminds "him", whips "him", and "him" All the camouflage peeled off alive and bloody like a layer of skin.

"Very good, I knew this method would work..." Director Pierce murmured while looking at the monitor.

Sarah, on the other hand, looked at Leonardo behind the camera, biting her lower lip tightly, her wide-eyed eyes filled with anger, pain, and even disbelief.As actors, they all know that they are just acting, but are their lovers watching the whole scene of being raped?Sarah doesn't know if the other actors can take it lightly, but she obviously hasn't practiced well yet, tears are rolling in her eyes, at this moment, she is really in pain and collapse together with her character, this terrible thing When will it end?She would rather die than go through this!

The camera gave a close-up of Sarah's face. She was numb. After intense pain and shock, she was like a puppet without a soul.Her body was still shaking and trembling uncontrollably because of being violated, but her eyes were fixed on the front, as if she had no focus, and she seemed to see the reality that she was most unwilling to accept.

--girl!wake up!Stop lying to yourself, you girl!

—Sarah!Let's see!Who is that not your Leon?

"How could you! How could you call him..." When the director finally called "CUT", Sarah rushed up almost immediately, her fists clenched and her eyes red, as if she was about to fight Pierce. Even Leonardo, who stepped forward to stop him with a distressed face, was pushed away by her forcefully. She felt that her worldview collapsed in an instant, and the scene just now would be a painful memory that she would never want to think about again for the rest of her life. , and damn it!damn it!She even insisted on finishing it!

"It's all for the movie..." Pierce, who ran away in a panic, ran back boldly. He hid behind the black-faced Leonardo, poking his head out guiltily, "Remember? I fought you Greetings, everything is for the movie, all for the movie..."

"Next scene! Damn it! I want to shoot the next one right away!" Sarah was furious. She wiped away her tears, grabbed her hair and walked back and forth on the set twice, even kicking a car tire hard. Venting her anger, she snarled at Pierce, "Get this scene over before I regret it! Otherwise I'm not sure I'm going to smash your damn camera in the next second! Damn it! I must be crazy, I Still thinking about continuing to shoot!"

Listening to Sarah's roar, Pierce quickly turned around to block the corners of his mouth that couldn't help but curl up.He almost scrambled and ran to arrange the next scene. Although he was yelled at by the actors as the director, when Sarah couldn't see him at this time, his expression was extremely happy, and he even had a bit of a smile on his face. Excited, when the cameraman gave him a disapproving look, he shrugged his shoulders and looked back confidently: "It's all for the movie, isn't it? The shot just now is amazing! When the movie is finished, Sarah will definitely thank me!"

The cameraman turned his head to look at the distance and finally calmed down. Sarah, who was held in Leonardo's arms, sighed sympathetically: "It's really not easy to be an actor these days. If I were Sarah , I probably ran away immediately when I saw my boyfriend appearing."

"Fortunately, she is not as impulsive as you. She is an excellent actor." Pierce nodded in agreement, and he also turned his head to look at the past. Obviously, the Tyrannosaurus Rex who was breathing fire at him just now has been invited by him to put out the fire. Seeing the young couple hugging and kissing next to the prop car, Pierce even whistled and murmured in a low voice with pride: "Actually, Leonardo should thank me more, at least I helped him find his girlfriend." came back!"

The author has something to say: Finally!Finished the filming of "Boys Don't Cry"!

Leon, please take your girlfriend away...

The amount of information in this update is a bit large, I hope everyone enjoy...
