[US Entertainment] Hollywood reverses life

With the broadcast of "Big Little Lies" episode by episode, its ratings have soared all the way, and its influence among the female crowd is also increasing day by day.

It seems to be an apocalypse of modern women's life, and it seems to be an ukiyo-e of the upper class.

It seems that this show is telling every audience: Forget "True Detective", it will surpass "True Detective".

No one would use cheap words like drama to describe this TV series, because it really gave people a lot of thinking on social issues.

Catherine Zeta-Jones' innocuous performance in the play received the greatest degree of sympathy, and her performance was brilliant.And the role of Marion Cotillard is the most extra points.

After "Big Little Lies" was broadcast, a group of female lawyers even stood up and set up an "Anti-Domestic Violence Association". In fantasy, as long as that man punches you, even if he regards you as a queen at other times, you must leave him."

This drama has won the love of female audiences to the greatest extent, although these female audiences also like to watch other TV dramas before this, such as "Desperate Housewives", such as "Sex and the City", or even "Gossip Girl" and "Vampire Diaries" "wait.

But this time "Big Little Lies" is different, it has already won in terms of style.It shows an ukiyo-e painting of a woman in a wealthy district.

Well-known film critic Pauline Kael has been looking forward to the show since it was about to air, until she saw it in person.

And her son, who is studying in the film department, obviously wants to watch this TV series with her, because after watching "American Sniper" on the recommendation of Pauline Kyle, Pauline Kyle's son Peter is very interested in Joey Grant. Has a very strong interest.

But Pauline Kyle doesn't seem to want her son to watch the show, for the simple reason that she feels it will make her son fear women.

She repeatedly emphasized to Peter, "Although I haven't watched it yet, Peter, I don't think you should watch this TV series with me, because I have read the original book, and this story is not friendly to a little boy like you."

Peter sneered at his mother's remarks, "Are you kidding me, I am still afraid of women at this age?"

Pauline Kyle is still not very relieved, "I think you may have underestimated the power of Joy Grant too much. Every movie of her with a strong female perspective is actually quite scary."

For example, "Juno" shows the messy life of Luther, a family of losers at the bottom of American society, in a desperate and realistic way, but fortunately, it finally gave the family a perfect ending.

She thinks that this "Big Little Lies" Joy will definitely do something like this, in the process of showing the personality of women is suffocating and even frightening, until the end, she must give a happy ending, which shows that her heart Deep down is a very warm person.

But Pauline Kael finally sat in front of the TV with Peter and watched "Big Little Lies" at Peter's strong request.

Obviously, after watching it for a short time, Pauline Kyle regretted that she really shouldn't let her son watch this TV series with her. The women in this TV series are, as always, too "sharp" and "realistic" ".

What it shows is Joey's inner understanding of women. You can think it is not accurate enough, but you can't deny that it is unique.

The women under Joey’s lens are not like water, but like the sea, they can be gentle and calm, or they can be turbulent, they can be tolerant and tolerant, they can cover up their pain and sorrow, they only show their radiant appearance, and they can also become fierce and wash over the reefs , crush everything.

They are vanity, they are hypocrisy, and they are brave.

As always, she shoots women very well, just like Meg Ryan, Eva Green, Emma Walson, Nicole Kidman, etc. before her.

And it is undeniable that this is a "looking" very beautiful work, although its core is very hopeless and heavy.But just this kind of "beautiful appearance" is already difficult for many directors to achieve.

Peter saw half of it, and suddenly took a deep breath and asked his mother, "Mom... so married women are so scary..."

Pauline Kyle frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then said: "Every woman actually has a scary side in her heart, it's just that Joey stripped them all out for the audience to see, otherwise I wouldn't have Divorced your father."

Peter frowned with a gloomy expression on his face, "I always feel... the small thoughts of these women... are a bit disgusting."

Pauline Kyle laughed a few times, "So this is where Joy is great. She just showed the audience the thoughts of those women who make people love and hate. After watching you feel sick, you have to praise her at the same time." Well done."

Peter frowned, "Go ahead, mom, I don't think I'm very interested..." Then he went to the computer to watch other things.

Pauline Kyle continues to watch the episode towards the end, this show will be unacceptable for some, but for some, it's a process from hating to loving, at least for Pauline Kyle is like that.

Inadvertently, those trivial emotions in the TV series rolled into a huge torrent with life. The family portraits in this quiet, beautiful, and desperate seaside town will make the audience seem to recall their past life... Because that's how women live so real.

After watching the episode, Pauline Kael opened her column on the computer, and she put on her gold-rimmed glasses and pondered for a long time in front of the screen.

Because she still couldn't think of what kind of title and what kind of beginning to use to write this solicited essay, a "Variety Show" magazine asked her to write an essay, and the content was naturally "Big Little Lies".

She pondered, not because she couldn't start, but because this TV series really aroused her memories of a certain period of time.

Presumably many female viewers are like her. Joey has wrapped this TV series with her beautiful appearance. When women touch this TV series because of their beautiful appearance, they will be bloodied by Joey's sudden stab memories and the past.

That is the past and humanity that women are least willing to admit in their hearts.

The reason why the master is called a master is because the way she opens people's wounds is always the most painful and unforgettable.

She knows what people are feeling, she knows what people's pain points are.

She uncovers it, and then forces you to admit it and remember it.

Pauline Kyle couldn't help taking a breath, and then murmured: "After Martin Scorsese, another film sociologist was born."

Then she tapped a few times on the keyboard, and the new movie review started.

【Women, you can't always get what you want. 】

The first sentence of the opening sentence: "The rule of the adult game is that if you kill someone, you have to pretend that nothing happened and continue to live..."

"The plot is compact and the dialogue is sharp and sharp, which can be said to kill David Fincher's sharp cutting. The audience can't wait to watch the whole drama in one go like "Breaking Bad."

"Joy Grant is going to spend seven episodes talking about the love, jealousy and hatred of a group of high-end women. This is terrible, which means that she has enough time to shoot these three emotions heartbreakingly."

"The skill is getting stronger and stronger, and he controls the attention of the audience throughout the whole process. We don't reveal the question we are most concerned about until the last minute: who died? I have to say that Joey will be more and more secretive. Now tell the story."

"Finally, I would like to ask if this year's Emmys are going to be the grand slam of Big Little Lies?"

A few days later, when the film was released, Joy, who was sitting in the office of United Artists and watching "Variety Show", smiled knowingly, and said, "Pauline Kyle really is the film critic who knows me best. "

On one side, Joey's manager Catherine, who has been working with her for many years, just finished a phone call. She walked up to Joey and took out the magazine in her hand, "Don't read it, my amazing Joe."

Joey rubbed the center of his brows with his hands, "Catherine, I'm admiring my movie review...can you stop..."

"No, I have to interrupt you." Catherine tapped her phone with her hand, "HBO called me, and this time they plan to push "Big Little Lies" into the Emmy Awards with all their strength."

Joey blinked at Catherine, but didn't respond.

Catherine suddenly said loudly: "My Joe, can you give some excited reaction? You may soon become the best director of the Emmy Award? Count and see how many honors you have, leaving aside the directors union award. Say, one Berlin, two Oscars, plus one Emmy...you are basically invincible. This can be considered as making up for the regret of "True Detective", after all, you only filmed three episodes of "True Detective."

Joey suddenly gave a big smile, and at a glance, he was a bit nervous, "Of course I'm excited, Catherine, but I didn't expect that HBO would be the main feature of this "Big Little Lies" this time."

Catherine nodded and said with satisfaction: "They will find ways to help you lobby for various groups. Anyway, there are only [-] members in total. Just try to deal with them."

Joey pursed his lips and smiled slightly, "What about me? What do I need to do?"

Catherine frowned and looked at Joey, "Needless to say? You have won two Oscars, don't you know that during the award campaign, you need to do everything possible to maintain your political correctness and personal image?" Likeable."

Joey seemed to sense Catherine's intentions, and she asked tentatively, "Did you let me..."

Catherine patted Joey on the head, "That's right, you have to bring Tom, HBO will arrange for you to attend various dinner parties, award ceremonies, etc. You just need to be responsible for showing your affection and happiness."

In fact, in the United States, most people's views still tend to be that having a stable partner and a happy family are winners in life and part of a person's perfect life.

Even whether a person's married life is perfect and whether he is in love with his partner has risen to the point of political correctness.

This is why in the previous life, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt had to get married at that juncture in 2014, because Angelina Jolie was going to win the Oscar, she wanted to win the Oscar for best director, and she wanted to work hard to develop her director career.

Marriage is a political example, to tell everyone that she and her husband are like glue, that she has a sound personality and that her family is happy.

In the eyes of Americans, this is political correctness.

Joey fell into deep thought for a while, "I think..." She started to think about those couples in the entertainment industry who sell people's designs...

She raised her head and said again, "The people who sell husband and wife are usually a combination of golden boys and jade girls..."

Catherine looked Joey up and down, and then let out a deep sigh, "Indeed, young and old couples generally don't come out to sell character designs, although you and Tom Cruise seem to be quite different in age, so I probably can't sell them for gold." Tong Yu girl set it up, but at least I can sell the character set of the soul confidant."

Catherine said eloquently: "You are different from those actresses who marry older men, you are the embodiment of Hollywood wisdom Venus! Tom Cruise is different from those men who marry younger starlets, he is... ..." Catherine was stunned for a moment, and couldn't find any adjectives. She said, "He is... Tom Cruise!"

Joey was obviously shocked by Catherine's barren language. She coughed a few times and couldn't help laughing: "Well, he is the most Tom Cruise man in Hollywood."

Catherine glared at Joey, "Okay, seeing that you've agreed, then you have to say hello to Tom in advance, you have to cooperate with me and HBO's various arrangements at any time, oh yes, hurry up and get married Put on the ring! Say you are engaged!"

"..." Joey was dumbfounded, "What, I have to get engaged for the Emmy Awards?!"

Catherine poked Joey's head with her finger, "Of course, you can take care of it. In this life, you probably have the closest chance to an Emmy Award. Who knows what will happen tomorrow?"

Joey was lying on the sofa, facing the ceiling and his brain was buzzing, "Well, let me guess how many couples got married for the Emmy Awards, it seems that there must be quite a few."

Catherine raised her capable eyebrows, "You should be thankful that you and Tom are a real couple, not the kind who are forced to pretend."

Joy suddenly thought of a question. She winked at Catherine and asked, "Then what do you think I should say in public?"

Catherine sat down and shook Joey's arm, "Hey, it goes without saying, of course it's to praise him for being kind to you, all kinds of kindness, of course the key point is to say that you are together and have an indelible impact on your respective film careers." influence and mutual promotion. Oh, yes."

Catherine suddenly gave Joey a wink, and Joey was in a cold sweat, "Catherine, what do you want to say?"

Catherine laughed bluntly, "Well, you are also responsible for creating hot topics. I think you'd better focus on Tom Cruise's bed-work."

"..." Joey was dumbfounded again.

She said in an intolerable tone: "So, are the American people gossiping so far?"

"As a public figure," Catherine said earnestly.

Joey interrupted her, "I'm not a public figure, I'm a behind-the-scenes figure, I'm a director..."

Catherine corrected: "But the moment you choose to be with Tom Cruise, you are no longer a behind-the-scenes figure, you will always be a public figure in the eyes of the paparazzi."

Joy replied: "Okay, I accept, so as a public figure I have to try to satisfy the voyeuristic desires of the American people?"

"Of course, this is for sure. You'd better reveal more about your private life with Tom Cruise. Of course, this is not always the case. After all, it is for the Emmy Awards now."

Joy is obviously not keen on doing this, but in order to get the honor of the Emmy, she still has to compromise, "OK, you remember everything you said, besides that, is there anything else?"

Catherine said, "No more, remember to ask Tom Cruise to have a romantic proposal ceremony. Then you take a few nicer pictures and post them on Facebook."

"So my marriage proposal is for outsiders to see..." Joey rolled his eyes helplessly.

******

After Joey returned home, he conveyed Catherine's general meaning to Tom.

Tom didn't seem surprised at all. He thought it was perfectly normal for Catherine to come up with this idea.

Joey was lying on the sofa and watching the video on her mobile phone. When she saw Tom flipping through the photo album, she stretched out her foot and kicked him and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Tom turned the album over and showed her, "It's pictures of landscapes from all over the world. I want to find a few places for you to see. If you are satisfied with the places, we will go there to propose. In fact, this is supposed to be for you. You are pleasantly surprised, but since Catherine must make this a show, we can only arrange it in advance."

After hearing this, Joy was obviously excited. She got up from the sofa and sat next to Tom, and the two of them flipped through the landscape photos page by page.

Now and then Tom would ask her in a low voice, "How was it on the Eiffel Tower?"

Joey turned the page, "It's too vulgar."

Tom laughed at her lightly, "If it's not bad, then you can only go to the top of the Death Star Building, maybe this is in line with your status."

Joey twisted his arm, "Since you have to have something to do with the movie, then go to the roof of the Empire State Building, the most romantic love sanctuary in the movie. Just like Meg Ryan in "Sleepless in Seattle" Last seen with Tom Hanks on top of the Empire State Building."

Tom smiled coldly with a hint of sarcasm, "Yeah, women have always imagined these things, so in the end even humans and animals have to go to the Empire State Building for a weird romantic story."

He was talking about the scene in "King Kong" where the last heroine Onami Watts and King Kong are on the top of the Empire State Building.

Joey continued to stare at him, "So you can't act in a love scene, there are too few romantic cells, my dear."

Tom's sexy lips were slightly parted, and he smiled with disdain, "It's because you still have too many illusions about the feelings of the American people. To be honest, they really want to see us get engaged, but I think what they care about most is It shouldn’t be what we do on the Empire State Building, it’s where we’re going to make love in the Empire State Building.”

Joy continued to stare at him, "The people want to see us in love, and making love is just part of being in love."

Tom raised his brows and showed a sexy smile, "You still underestimate the voyeuristic psychology of the people. They not only want to know that we have sex, but also want to know what poses and expressions are used. You will shout something at me. What, is it too loud?"

After finishing speaking, he smiled ambiguously instead.

Joey scolded embarrassingly: "Old pervert, when did I shout that?"

Tom hooked her chin and kissed her lower lip lightly, "You are a typical example of turning your face and denying others after you do it."

Then Joey took a pillow and threw it in his face.

But in the end, Joey and Tom decided on the location of the proposal, which is the holy place of love in American movies-the astronomical observatory on the top floor of the Empire State Building.

So on the day they chose, Joy deliberately found her favorite yellow knee-length skirt with a wide straw belt.

By the way, I put on a big straw sun hat and big sunglasses, making myself very concealed.

That night, she saw that the clock had reached 9:[-] p.m., and then she left the hotel and went to the Empire State Building, and the premise was that the phone was fully charged, and she could take photos at any time for a live broadcast...

After arriving at the Empire State Building, there were no tourists inside, so Joey took the elevator directly to the observation observatory on the top floor.

Tom was already waiting there, wearing a dark gray T-shirt, black slacks, and a pair of big sunglasses.

Seeing Joey coming, he took off his sunglasses, revealing his extremely handsome face.

He walked over and took Joy by the hand and led her to the edge of the observatory, "The scenery here is nice, and it is very suitable for the atmosphere tonight. Would you like to take a picture first? It will save everyone from feeling awkward later."

Joey looked at the lights in the distance. This is the top of the Empire State Building, overlooking the night of New York. It is very beautiful, just like being on the brightly lit but dim roof in "Sleepless in Seattle".

Joy took a random photo, but she won't upload it now, so she must upload it together after the work is done, or if she sends it out now, the place will be crowded soon.

After Joey took the photo, he looked up at Tom, and just about to say something, Tom covered his lips with a finger, "Stop talking, let me take a closer look at you, I have to tell our children in ten years Talk about the day, and the most unique woman in America."

Joey did not speak, but she reached out and put Tom's finger in her mouth and licked it, then gave him a look that was fatal to Tom, and she said, "And the most attractive man in America."

Tom withdrew his finger and drew a circle on Joey's lips, "This is not okay, you can't seduce me at this time, we still have business to do."

Joey moved his lips, "Where is my ring?"

Tom turned to face the vast night in the distance, took out a diamond ring from his trousers pocket, lifted it up and placed it in the continuous lights in the distance to watch carefully, "The designer told me that the ring's The name is darkness."

Joey walked over and also focused on the ring, "It's beautiful."

Tom slowly raised Joy's left hand, and then carefully slipped the diamond ring into her middle finger.His eyes were always on Joey, long and full of willingness to stay together, "Beautiful lady, I ask you carefully, this will be the last time I ask you in this life, will you marry me?"

Although there was no unexpected surprise, Joey still had joy on his face. This kind of mood is hard to describe. It can be roughly summed up as—in the boundless life, he finally found a way to stop enjoying loneliness.

She raised her head, hooked Tom's neck, and kissed him on the forehead like a dragonfly, "Thank you, of course I would."

Tom rubbed her face with his hands, frowned and smiled, "There is no need to say thank you between us in the future, but I know it's time for you to take pictures again."

Joy sticks out her tongue at him apologetically, and then starts taking pictures again, this time against the night, of the engagement ring on her finger, the light of the diamond ring seems to meet the lights of the Empire State Building in the distance, shining brightly.

Ok, you're done.

In fact, Joy is really not suitable for such a serious and well-behaved atmosphere. She wants to marry Tom, even without these red tapes, she will still agree, but since the American people must want to see it, then satisfy them.

Then Joey took Tom's hand, covered the railing of the observatory together and left a group photo, which was a kind of oath to the outside world.

After the filming, Tom held Joey's hand tightly in turn, and he said, "I know you must be embarrassed."

Joey nodded, "I'm so embarrassed, I really don't like this kind of sensational person, I think it's really embarrassing..."

Perhaps for some women, an extravagant proposal ceremony or courtship would make them feel very happy, but for Joey, it just felt super embarrassing... So she asked Tom to do nothing, just find a scenery If it's a good place, they can take a few photos and upload them.

For her, she is willing to get engaged to Tom, and there is no ceremony at all, as long as she buys a ring and wears it.

Because once sensationalized, she would feel extremely embarrassed.It's a pity that the masses like to watch sensationalism, so she had no choice but to cooperate.

After the marriage proposal ceremony was over, Joey suggested, "Go and eat something?"

Tom nodded, "Go back to the hotel and eat."

Then the two returned to the hotel. The first thing they did when they arrived at the hotel was that Joey immediately uploaded the photos taken today. There are three photos in total. One is the night view of the top of the Empire State Building, and the other is a close-up of the ring on his hand. One is on the railing of the observatory with Tom covering his hands.

A paragraph of text was added: Today, I accepted his marriage proposal.

She took a deep breath, and sent it up in one breath... Then she seemed to have expected the reaction like a torrential rain.

Sure enough, in just a few minutes, her facebook immediately exploded.

"Ahhhhhhhh, what did I see?"

"OHMYGOD engaged? Are you wearing the goddess ring?"

"The goddess just filmed "Big Little Lies", and she hasn't been disappointed in her marriage yet?!"

"Word, my God! I'm so excited, I've loved CP for many years, and you guys are finally going to have a result!"

"Happiness, happiness, rightness, radiance, this is the combination of Joey Grant and Tom Cruise!"

"I can't describe this feeling in words, this feeling... Only by being a long-time fan of Joey for more than ten years since his debut and an iron fan of Tom Cruise for 30 years can I describe it!!!!!!!!!!"

Everyone is crazy, because Joey and Tom are bound to be the most dazzling pair of couples in the new era of America!

One of the most legendary actors and one of the most legendary directors, their combination is in the true sense-a movie legend of an entire era in the United States.

The Hollywood film industry was all excited by this news. If being in love just means that the two people hit it off, then getting engaged means that the two of them are serious!

They are really planning to enter the palace of marriage, which is completely different from being in love.

This pair is definitely a legendary couple in movie history...

How does this keep Hollywood from blowing up?How can the entire United States not be bombed?How can the global film industry not explode?

The news of Joey and Tom's engagement immediately spread throughout the Internet and the media. Facebook ranked first in terms of real-time topics, and the search volume of keywords on the Internet soared immediately.

Everyone who opens Google at this moment is almost searching for the same keyword, that is Joey Grant, space, Tom Cruise, space, engagement!

OH MY GOD!

If these two people are in perfect harmony, Hollywood will definitely be turned upside down!It is estimated that no one can stop the rhythm of the two of them joining forces!

"Joy Grant finally chose Tom Cruise. Although there is an 18-year age difference between the two, as long as it is the right person, it doesn't matter age."

"It's a pity, I still expected Joey to marry my male god, any male god will do~"

"Tom Cruise is so old, in a few years Joey will have an affair..."

"Upstairs, you are black, I understand you, but you will grow old one day, I hope your wife will not think you are worthless by then."

As Tom Cruise fans for many years, it seems that they are still looking forward to seeing Joey. At this moment, they have published blog posts to express their feelings at the moment-"Ah Tang has finally found a woman who is suitable for him."

"Jingtang's eyes are finally right for once. I think Joey looks more pleasing to the eye than the previous Mrs. Tang."

"In the future, I don't think Mrs. Tom will be called Mrs. Ah Tang anymore. I have to call her brother-in-law Qiao."

The outside world has already talked about the ups and downs, but Joey and Tom are still nestling in the hotel very sweetly, and it is already 12 midnight.

Tom was lying on the bed, and Joey was sitting on him. She supported her body on the bed with her hands weakly, "My legs are sore, I think it's time for me to get down... This position is not suitable for me..."

Tom squeezed her fingers. Compared with Joey's sore legs and arms, he looked calm, "No, I'll take care of it."

Joey put his hands on his strong chest muscles and mermaid line, and slowly walked, his eyes fixed on him all the time, as if to seduce him, "What do you mean by coming?"

Tom's hand tugged on Joey's chest a few times, and Joey gave a low groan with great feeling. Tom said with a smirk, "Are you really pretending to be innocent with me, or are you really so ignorant?"

Joey pinched his arm with his hand, "Old driver, honestly tell me how many women you have had?"

Lying on the bed, Tom glanced at Joey with raised eyes and raised brows. He felt that now was not the time to answer this question, "I don't remember, who would remember that kind of thing."

Then he directly clasped Joy's slender waist with his hands, and then supported her waist, and began to push his abdomen up again and again, a very high frequency.

Joey's gasping voice sounded immediately, "OHMYGOD...please spare me."

This feeling is the first time, especially deep, especially hard.

She has no time to worry about any past love history, only her fragmented and intermittent voice is left in the room.

……

Anyway, everything is so logical, they're in love, they're engaged, and they're going to get married soon.

This is the perfect marriage that the American people want to see most. Because of this incident, the love of the American people for Joey seems to be a little deeper.

Many professional film professionals and scholars in the United States have also noticed this news.

You see, there is a woman who is smart, wise, and talented, and she has even been called a genius, an American dream, for years.

Now, she is not only a genius, but also the American dream, she is also a serious, dedicated, non-promiscuous person who would rather be idle for many years than casually have a boyfriend. Marriage is rejected, but commitment and responsibility to the other half are not rejected.

This is the good woman that the American people love!Smart, successful, dedicated, and family-friendly!

Really - no one is so perfect!

And in HBO's major lobbying and public relations teams, this advantage is bound to be added in their lobbying rhetoric-"Look, Joey Grant has so many advantages, and she is a woman who takes feelings so seriously, you Don't you think she deserves an Emmy?"
