Many people waited for the time to buy this book from the scene at the first time. If you were in Los Angeles for a while, you might see people holding this book in their hands on the subway, on the bus, or even in many public places. Books are read.

This sales volume is very amazing, but even more amazing is yet to come.

After reading "All About Joey Grant", people are constantly surprised by some of the words that Joey expounds in it.

The day after the release, The Hollywood Reporter immediately questioned the book.

[Joy blew himself up and smoked, is the history of drugs out of his depth or is he really fearless? 】

"Joy Grant recently published an autobiography, which not only talked about his birth, experience, and emotional history, but also described the birth process of several movies. However, the most surprising thing is that Joey blew himself up in the book. He has a depraved history and has been exposed to drugs and drugs."

"It's really unexpected. It seems that the past few years when the media chased her for blackmail was not all made up. At that time, the media thought that she was taking drugs, but they didn't catch evidence. Now Joey is It blew itself up."

"What kind of mentality is this? We don't know, but we can roughly see from people's reactions that everyone still treats the American Dream very favorably."

"At least Joy's self-destruction did not have the opposite effect, but added to her inspirational legend."

Finally, this article finally named the center in the last sentence——

"She fell deeper than everyone imagined, but climbed higher than everyone looked up to."

"That's inspiration."

The majority of movie fans and people who are familiar with Joey did not show much resistance after reading this book. After all, everyone knows what kind of person Joey was in the past, and this is not too unexpected.

"Okay, don't discuss it, Joey Hei, people have said that she did smoke and used drugs, but so what, it's all over, and now she is the most perfect."

"In the past, she was very depraved. We fans all know that what we love is the one who rose from the quagmire."

"So what exactly does this book want to say? A story about a counterattack from a drug addict to a box office legend?"

"In this book, I pay more attention to Joy's analysis of one of his own growth experiences. I think we can really learn something. Joy said that she thought a lot in the days after she fell, and finally decided to reverse her life. This spirit of introspection is worth learning from.”

"Wahhaha, I finally know the inner world of the goddess."

Catherine saw that the general public responded very well to Joey's autobiography, and she couldn't help but start to admire Joey. She really has no fear in her heart, which is why she can talk about the past so naturally and calmly.

At this moment, many media outlets gave Joey positive marks for his behavior.

"Variety Show"——[The autobiography of no merit but commendable courage]

"The Sound of Movies" - [Only by facing the past calmly can we be reborn]

"Boston Daily" - [Today's legendary director's past absurd years have become an irreplaceable precious brand in his life]

The crowd didn't have any resistance or strong reaction to Joey's confession of the absurdity of the past. After all, people are looking forward. Now Joey's success proves that no matter how absurd the past is, as long as you step out, you can realize your dreams, right?

After this frank confession, Joey was truly relieved.

She is no longer worried about whether the rumors about herself will leak out and cause bad consequences, she is already frank and fearless.

Because she admits everything, in the autobiography, she does not hide or escape, this is to meet a better self.

***

At this time, Joey, who was at home, received an invitation letter.

It was an invitation letter from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, inviting her to formally become a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and then officially have the right to vote for the Oscars.

This is an affirmation from the industry, affirming her contribution to the American film industry, as well as affirming her professional level and ability.

Joey agreed, and at the same time sent out an application, officially becoming a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

So what then?Then what is she going to do?

Catherine came to Joey's home, and she wanted to discuss the next plan with Joey.She thinks that Joey should take advantage of the victory to chase after her. Recently, she is raking in the popularity of the nation, so she has to come back with another movie, which will definitely stimulate the box office.

Joey made a cup of Chinese Kung Fu tea for Catherine, and Catherine started sticking out her tongue after drinking it, "It's really not as good as British black tea..."

Joey shrugged, "You don't know taste."

Catherine rolled her eyes at Joey, "By the way, do you have an idea for a new movie?"

Joey opened the chair and sat down, resting his chin on his hands and looking at a plant by the window, "No, to be honest, people pay too much attention to me, and I'm still not used to being exposed to the public for a long time."

Catherine nodded, "Some people get used to it quickly, but some people may never get used to it."

Joey stretched his waist, "So I plan to leave here and go to a place where there are fewer people who pay attention to me. Otherwise, my inspiration will dry up sooner or later, under such tremendous pressure."

Catherine was not surprised. In fact, she has seen this kind of thing a lot. "Many stars I have worked with have been confused like you. Whenever someone said to me, 'Catherine, I am under too much pressure and I can't breathe. ', I'd say to them, get out of the West Coast and go to the East Coast."

Joey was listening to Catherine silently, and Catherine continued: "The West Bank is indeed under a lot of pressure. Your every move may be exposed under the cameras of the reporters. You have no desire to speak of. Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco, you on the West Bank No matter how you try to escape, you can’t escape the eyes of the people. So you can go to the East Coast to release the pressure, I suggest you go to New York, or Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago are also fine, Washington, Atlanta, the scenery is also good.”

Joey thought about Catherine's words silently, and it took her a long time to reply: "No, I don't want to run from Xi'an to the east coast, I want to leave the United States."

"..." Catherine's jaw dropped in shock, "What's the reason?"

There was an elusive smile in the corner of Joey's mouth, "I said, because the American society pays too much attention to me, which puts me under a lot of pressure. I plan to go to Europe, where the attention to me will not be so great , people can focus more on my work and less on me. That’s what I want to see.”

Catherine frowned and considered the feasibility of Joey's statement, "So, you plan to live in Europe for a while and make movies?"

Joey looked up at the ceiling and thought, "That's right, and I have long wanted to try to go to Europe to make European art films. This can be regarded as a breakthrough for me."

Catherine stared at Joey in a daze, "Are you sure? European film factions are completely different from Hollywood. European films focus on art and connotation, while Hollywood films can make any changes for the sake of business. You are used to filming. I have already made a Hollywood movie, and now I plan to go to Europe to make a movie, aren't you afraid of acclimatization?"

The films with the highest level are those produced in the United States, while small-scale literary films are prevalent in Europe.

If the United States is the largest producer of the film industry, Europe is the flagship that promotes the continuous development and innovation of this industry. Almost all the innovations and breakthroughs in film techniques and conceptual innovations in film history have originated in Europe.

In terms of film, Hollywood has the most powerful commercial operation, and its global cultural penetration and influence are undoubtedly the greatest, while France is the birthplace of the New Wave movement in film.

That's why among the four major film festivals in the world, only Oscar is in the United States, and the other three are all in Europe.The Oscar judges are completely different from those of the other three major film festivals.The three major European film festivals pay more attention to art and senses, but Oscar pays more attention to the role of movies in the context of the times, commerciality and political correctness.

This is why people are still used to classifying American Hollywood films and European art films separately for European and American films.Because no matter in terms of shooting techniques or viewing experience, it is easy to distinguish. At first glance, it is a movie made by two different systems.

And Joey has longed for Cannes, France for a long time.

The opportunity this time is just right. She is tired of the living conditions that attract so much attention in American society, which makes her feel pressured. Although it will not cause anything, at least it is not the living conditions she likes.

Going to Europe, going to Cannes to shoot movies, fewer people will pay attention to her, and she can live more freely.

Secondly, she can try to integrate into the European humanistic feelings and shoot European art films.It can also be regarded as a breakthrough for her in the field of self-film.

In the minds of European people, Joey may be a Hollywood blockbuster director with a box office hit. Although they also like to watch Hollywood blockbusters, their status is still incomparable to those awesome European art film directors in Europe.

Catherine hopes that Joy will think carefully about this decision, because if she really goes to Europe to make a film, it may be a mess.She said: "You know Hollywood movies very well, but you may not be familiar with European audiences and movie styles. You'd better think again."

Joy comforted her, "I know you are afraid that I will ruin the pot, but I just want to try to see if I can find more possibilities for me. This is what every director pursues all his life. If it doesn't work, I will go back to Hollywood to continue. Make an American blockbuster~”

She added: "It is also important that my influence in Europe is not as great as in the United States. The audience will pay more attention to my work, which is what I hope."

Catherine compromised, "Well, if this is what you want, I know that artists like you like to make troubles. Then you go, it's best to go to the three major European film festivals and come back with a grand slam! You will become the world The first director of the three major film festivals and an Oscar double grand slam!"
