[US Entertainment] Actress

"My dear, I have long said that Noy is not that kind of person. Think about the wallet she gave us." Ada Lynch comforted her little friend Lina, "Although you rebuked Noy's character for making me Feeling a little unhappy, but now that the truth is out, we're still best friends."

"I'm sorry, Ada." Lena bit her lip, "I obviously like Noy so much, but I actually believe what other people say casually..."

After the release of "Legally Blonde", a large number of middle school students such as Ida Lynch and Lena Fallon became Noy's fans. They contributed more than 50% of the film's box office, and their influence is not small watch for.Although Noye intends to take the powerful route, for now, most of her fans come from "Legally Blonde".

But this fan group is also the most vulnerable to public opinion. On the day when the "National Enquirer" exposed Noy's scandal, Noy's fan base exploded. There were people like Ida Lynch who had always believed in Noy, but there were also people like Linna who were not determined. People, there are countless examples of quarrels between good sisters-of course, this is also the status quo of most girl idol fan groups.

Like Lindsay Lohan, an actress who was born as a Disney child star, became popular in the United States with "Mean Girls" in 04, but later became famous because of alcohol, racing, drugs and other scandals, and was eventually abandoned by fans.

This is why Noye did not choose "Love Home Alabama" with the same theme after "Legally Blonde". Her dislike of repetition is only one of the reasons. The most important reason is the image of actors after starring in similar films. It is easy to be fixed, but difficult to transform.If Noye's box-office pull in school comedies is confirmed many times, then the film company will only give her the same type of movie scripts, and she will lose the opportunity to star in more challenging movies.

"Lina, look, another video has been released on the official website of the National Enquirer."

Lina clicked on the video: "It's the annoying Helen McCarthy. I've never seen such a shameless woman. She has done so many things that hurt others, but she can brazenly make up Bizarre stories. I got tricked by her, oh, now I feel like throwing up when I see her face. Come on, Ada, the title of the video is Noye Lynton vs. Helen McCarthy!"

"It turned out to be the scene where Noy performed a play in London..."

Two young girls sit shoulder to shoulder, staring wide-eyed at the video.The video seems to be shot by a mobile phone, the picture is shaky and not clear at all, but it is enough for the audience to see how focused the girl in the video is, and her deep sadness seems to be conveyed to the audience's eyes through the screen , she has a light body, and there is no nervous expression on her face, as if she was born to belong to the stage.

This is, of course, Noye's performance.

The screen went dark for a while, and soon another figure appeared.The two girls immediately recognized that this person was Helen McCarthy, because the role of Ophelia was finally snatched by Helen McCarthy and performed publicly, the picture in the video was much clearer than the one performed by Noy.

But even two middle school students who don't understand acting at all can see the gap between the two.

"Stupid goose." The two girls said in unison.

It is true that Helen McCarthy was born in a professional class, but the glory of a professional class did not motivate her to hone her acting skills, but instead became her capital to show off in front of others.She plays important young female roles in the Goulgood Theater all the year round - Helen certainly doesn't think that she snatched them from others, she only thinks that the people who snatched the roles from her are too bad .Therefore, as soon as she got on the stage, her ingenious performance immediately eclipsed the entire performance, but because of her status as an uncle, there were far fewer people who criticized her than those who praised her, so she was very interested in honing her acting skills. I'm getting less and less concerned.

Once the video was exposed, the entire entertainment circle was in an uproar.

No matter whether Helen McCarthy's accusation that Noy Linton disrespected the drama teacher is true or not, at least from the perspective of acting skills, Helen McCarthy is no longer a trustworthy person. Malicious slander and praise of his acting skills have been completely reduced to a joke.In comparison, Noye's silence all the time is more popular.

As "Entertainment Weekly" said in response to the interviews with the public about this incident:

"We don't care about Noye Linton's personality, but we are touched by her efforts."

Noy's concentrated posture during the performance is enough to prove that everything she has achieved is based on her strength.The American dream interpreted by the Americans is achieved through unremitting efforts. In Noye, they see the shadow of the American dream. In any case, this struggle cannot be desecrated.

Two days passed slowly, and Helen McCarthy had changed from being complacent to being beaten by everyone.A group of reporters gathered downstairs in her apartment, and the situation was even more terrifying than when a group of reporters were stationed on the crew of "Gangs of New York"... Of course, Helen McCarthy thought that one day she would become a big star surrounded by reporters, but it was definitely not at this moment, absolutely This is not the time to be extremely embarrassed!

She dialed her agent's phone number, and her voice was already crying: "Elmer, there are many reporters around downstairs, I'm very scared..."

But the only response to her was the long breathing of the manager, and the echo of the phone hanging up a few seconds later.

Helen McCarthy threw her phone on the ground like crazy, the white phone case was broken in half, she was still not relieved, she put it on the bottom of her foot and stomped it twice: "Damn bitch, trash, damn it Al Mo, one day I will treat these bitches as garbage..."

Things gradually developed in favor of Noi. At the same time, those celebrities who had been watching before also stood up and cheered for Noi. They cited examples of themselves being slandered by the media but had nowhere to appeal. It seems that they have always been It is Noy's strongest backing.

Noy sneered at this: "Martin, do you remember how Ms. Sharon Stone commented on this matter a few days ago?"

"Bad actor Noye Linton?" Martin frowned, "or that when I was a student, I respected my teacher?"

Noy smiled: "I respect the teacher, so I slept with the teacher's son? I don't know who it is, it's not me anyway."

It has to be said that hypocrisy is always a sharp weapon in Hollywood.

But it was the response of these stars that made things gradually develop from Noy himself to a group of Hollywood stars. "Entertainment Weekly" and "Hollywood Reporter" published their comments on the incident under the title "Who Hurt the Star".Among them, the Hollywood Reporter specifically asked, "An inexplicable person with plausible evidence can destroy an actor's career. Who gave her the right? Can ordinary people replace judges?"

"Stars are a group of high-profile people. The particularity of their profession means that their words and deeds are magnified countless times by the camera. But I don't know when, the camera often only points to the dark side, and they endlessly explore any star. privacy, every little clue will be presented to the public as evidence."

"It is a pity that in this country where the law is supreme, countless people will always shout for it when the interests of ordinary people are damaged, but no one is running for it when the interests of celebrities are damaged. Even sales and ratings, the media often become An accomplice who hurt a star."

The "Hollywood Reporter" article took up most of the page. Even though Noy's name was not mentioned in the article, everyone knew that it was written especially for Noy.

The turmoil is not over yet.

On the day the video came out, the sales volume of the "National Enquirer" dropped by 5% compared with the day before. On the cusp of the national defense of Neue, the "National Enquirer", no matter how eloquent it is, dare not Make an excuse at this time.In addition, those tabloids that reprinted the news from the "National Enquirer" were inevitably affected, and their sales fell to a certain extent compared with last month.

Perhaps in order to save their reputation, the next afternoon, the official website of the gossip magazine "Star Weekly" released a new message, naming Michael Kors, who had previously had a cooperative relationship with Noy Linton, had terminated his relationship with Noy Linton a few days ago. The contract was signed, and the news disclosed the price of mk's compensation to Noy verbatim. As expected, this was another disturbance.

In the eyes of the American people, michaelkors is already a mid-to-high-end brand. Although its advanced customization is more and more recognized, it cannot compare with super big names like Dior and Givenchy in any case.It's not that Noi is too confident, but the fact is that after she wore mk and appeared in major magazines, more and more stars attended the event to choose mk high-end, and she would choose mk ordinary models when she usually went out on the street, bringing The change in sales is obvious.

"Are you ready, Noy?"

After finishing her makeup, Noy smiled confidently: "Of course."

Now that the cooperative relationship with MK has ended, it is absolutely impossible for Noy to wear his clothes even if he appreciates MK again.She was wearing a Burberry ombré dress, her hair was coiled up high, and she looked like a strong woman—Noy had never had the habit of acting pitiful, not to mention that she was not at all wrong in this matter, she had the truth Why should she give in to those who hurt her?

As soon as he showed up, Noy was hit by the camera like a storm.The reporters were obviously very surprised by Noy's image at the moment. As soon as the reporter's question time started, some reporters couldn't wait to ask questions:

"Noy, you look good. Didn't this incident have any effect on you?"

Noy raised his eyebrows: "Why, Mr. Reporter, didn't you see my dress?"

This dress is from Burberry's spring/summer style, and it's not the Michael Kors that Noye always chooses. The reporter who knew the inside story blinked and wrote it down in the interview book.

Noy continued: "In everyone's eyes, I am the victimized party. Of course, I also think so. But what kind of posture do the reporters think I should meet you? Sad? Haggard? Of course, I can. But I will never choose that way. My profession is an actor, and I am a star when I attend press conferences and promotional activities. Of course, a star should present his most glamorous side in front of the camera. This is respect for everyone. Don't you? Besides, it's clear to all of you that I've done nothing wrong in this matter. I didn't tearfully accuse another person of hurting her, as Miss Helen McCarthy did, and I didn't make false accusations. If the perpetrator was complacent, The victim is haggard and sad, doesn't that make everyone lose faith in justice?"

The reporter group gradually quieted down, and they admitted that what Noye said was right.

After a while, a reporter asked: "Noye, Helen McCarthy apologized to you in an interview yesterday afternoon. What is your response to this?"

Noy's eyes widened: "Really, this is not like Miss McCarthy's style! If she really apologized, I mean if, my response is not to accept it."

The reporters were stunned for a while, and suddenly they realized that Noy's answer was not acceptable?However, thinking of Noy's attitude towards reporters in the past few times, they felt that it was normal to hear this answer from Noy's mouth.

"Why?" A reporter asked abruptly.

Noy gave the reporter a look of "You are an idiot": "I have to accept her apology? I don't have the power of Miss McCarthy. One word can make me lose my job completely. When I was studying in the West End At that time, my greatest wish was to become the heroine of a drama. First of all, it was an affirmation of my strength. Another point was that I could get a subsidy of 1500 pounds a month if I played that role. Before that, I only had a few Ten pounds. Money is always very important to the poor."

"That's why I can't easily forgive Miss McCarthy after she did such an outrageous thing." Noy smiled, "I only admit one thing about the deal she said about me and Mr. Keith Lieser, I really was brought to Hollywood by Mr. Keith Lieser."

☆、Chapter 049

After the press conference, Noy took the plane that day and rushed back to Rome to continue filming.Although she had very few roles during this period, out of the actor's sense of responsibility, Noy still gave Martin everything in Los Angeles with confidence.The press conference seemed to draw an end to the turmoil of this period of time, but after the waves stopped, there would always be ripples on the surface of the lake.

Naturally, Helen McCarthy, who had traveled thousands of miles from London to Los Angeles, was most affected. Her agent had completely abandoned her. As long as she showed up, she would be chased by dozens of reporters. This was once Helen McCarthy's dream. The picture that she had imagined in her heart, but now, all this will only drive her crazy.It wasn't until Noe returned to Italy to film that her misery gradually stopped, but because of the impact of the 911/[-] incident, she had to stay in the United States for a while, and she returned to London in early October in despair.

As Noye's only movie still in theaters, "Legal Blonde" ushered in another big explosion after experiencing a cold wave.It seems that fans and some people who learned about Noi in this incident re-entered the movie theater with a mentality of comforting Noi. "Legal Blonde" entered the North American box office rankings with a single-week box office of 515 million US dollars Top ten, ranked fourth. September is the most deserted month in the film market. Big-budget films are often not released during this period. Therefore, many films with a box office of more than 9 million US dollars in the first week can also directly become the box office champions.

In the case that the top ten are mostly new movies released not long ago, "Legal Blonde" can achieve such an amazing result, which really has to make people look sideways.Although this result is closely related to the "National Enquirer" defaming Noye, but invisibly Noye's box office appeal and her influence among young people have been confirmed.With this week's box office explosion, the cumulative box office of "Legally Blonde" has reached 1 million U.S. dollars, far exceeding the original expectations of MGM Films, and it has also quietly ranked in the annual box office rankings. Into the top ten.

Of course, Michael Kors, who has already terminated his contract with Noy, is also affected.This clothing brand is popular among young people for its casual and fashionable style. Up to now, its high-end customization has become more and more popular among many stars.However, Michael Kors played an extremely dishonorable role in Noye's slander this time, and its status in the hearts of the American people has also declined by more than one level.No matter how mk conducts internal public relations activities, or how it reforms its own development route, some experts in the industry predict that mk will not make much progress in at least five years.

This is not because of how powerful Noye is now.What Noye suffered was responded by most of the stars in the United States, and after media fermentation, it has evolved into a social incident.In addition, what michaelkors did is really disgusting. If they want to find other stars to endorse, other stars will also consider whether mk will also be in the cooperation period before the expiration of their careers. throw yourself away.

michaelkors is realistic, but stars in hollywood circles are even more realistic.

No matter how the outside world criticizes michaelkors, in short, it is impossible for Noye to wear clothes of this clothing brand to attend any activities.The moment she received Martin's call, she just smiled sarcastically: "Mk wants to cooperate with me again, Martin, do I look like a fool? After being slapped hard on the left cheek, I still stick out the right cheek?"

"I know you won't want to, I just want to tell you about the reward Michaelkors gave you this time." Noy's grievances were clarified, and her popularity and recognition have risen a lot compared to before, as Manager, Martin is naturally happy for her, "They quoted 150 million US dollars, and they promised that after this contract ends, they will consider you as the spokesperson for mk North America."

"It's really a high price." Noy snorted twice, "Come back for me, tell mk, I'm still keeping the agreement with them, after all, the compensation of 50 US dollars is not for nothing. I have been following their Ask to be done, in my Noy Lynton career, I will not wear mk clothes to any event."

"Okay. In addition, "Vogue" magazine hopes that you can be the cover character in November, and the shooting time is scheduled for mid-October." Martin continued to report the job invitation to Noy, "After your cooperation with Michaelkors is over, there are several The brand hopes that you can cooperate with them. I think the most suitable one is the endorsement of Dior handbags. This company has always only cooperated with big brands, which is also very helpful to increase your value."

Noy listened patiently to each word: "What about the script?"

Martin hesitated for a moment: "To be honest, Noy, I don't think the scripts that have been sent recently are very suitable for you. I will send the scripts later, and you have time to take a good look."

"it is good."

With Noye's return, the filming of the "Gangs of New York" crew has gradually entered a busy stage.However, on the third day after Noye's return, the world-famous disaster swept across the United States, and even the crew of "Gangs of New York" in Italy were inevitably affected.

Martin Scorsese announces a day off to pray for his countrymen.Martin is an authentic New Yorker. Countless faces of New York are conveyed to the audience through his lens. Now, people, those blocks and high-rise buildings he missed for a long time have all been destroyed in the bombing of terrorists.The director has always been silent and affectionate. There is a saying that if you don't explode in silence, you will die in silence. Only Martin himself can distinguish clearly the emotions hidden in Martin's heart.

The world has become devastated, and Noy is also reflecting.

As a reborn person, she naturally knew the whole story, but she didn't tell anyone, nor did she remind anyone.It’s not that Noy doesn’t have the reverence for life, but that she knows very well that her power alone is too small, and she has no way to change the trend of the world. She is neither the president of the United States nor the secretary-general of the United Nations. In the game between countries, she doesn't even have the right to speak.

All she could do was pray silently for those lost lives.

Noye felt no guilt or a sting of conscience.In the aftermath of the catastrophe there are divergent accounts of the cause of the event, and even the defender of the people himself took on an ignominious role.Noy is just a little mortal, she doesn't want to be cannon fodder, and she doesn't have that kind of courage.

"Treasure." Noy put his hands together and closed his eyes silently.

Not only Martin Scorsese alone, but the entire "Gangs of New York" crew is filled with an atmosphere of sadness.The movie is named after New York, and a small half of the crew are New Yorkers. When the disaster hit, everyone seemed to lose their minds and kept calling their relatives and friends at home. There will be tears in someone's eyes.

When the film was filmed again, Noy was keenly aware that the atmosphere of the crew had changed.

Originally, in the warm sunshine and intoxicating smoked wind of the Apennine Peninsula, the crew was full of harmonious atmosphere.But this time when the filming resumed, everyone's expressions became serious and focused, as if they were covered with an invisible thick fog.Under such circumstances, Noy, as the leading actor, couldn't help being a little more serious than before. Fortunately, the plot of "Gangs of New York" in the later period became more and more serious, and the atmosphere of the crew would not be unfavorable for filming.

The next part of the plot is still a group show. The law stipulates that boxing matches cannot be held in the city, but this regulation has caused huge losses to "The Butcher" Bill. At this time, Amsterdam had an idea and suggested that Bill change the boxing match to the city border. , The boxing match went on smoothly, and Amsterdam got Bill's attention.

It's still a group show, and it's still a bloody boxing scene. The madness of the spectators in the camera is in stark contrast to the picture of the boxer bleeding. The war is approaching, but these blind New Yorkers are still fighting for their decadent Traditional and convivial.Martin Scorsese is a director who is very good at dealing with sound and color. Under his lens, a bloody and gloomy New York is restored, and the atmosphere of the old world blows.

When Noy saw this scene, he suddenly thought of the Chinese writer Lu Xun's work describing a large group of Chinese people watching other Chinese being beheaded. In fact, the same thing happened in the United States at that time.

Noy's role in this episode is still very small, so she can move the chair and sit next to Martin, and listen to him directing the actors' performances and adjusting the camera's sense of picture, although it has nothing to do with Noy, but listening is also A kind of study.

In fact, among the four major directors in Hollywood, there are almost no directors who are good at training actors. Most of them dominate the plot and the value of the film. They are better at finding suitable actors to add color to the film, but they are obviously not good enough in terms of greatly improving the acting skills of actors. .Of course, this does not mean that these four directors are not strong enough. The best film is the biggest compliment. It can be said that it is almost difficult to find actors with insufficient acting skills in the award-winning films of these four directors. Make movies stand out.

However, there are a group of directors who are known for being good at creating actor and actress.Stephen Daldry puts Nicole Kidman and Kate Winslet on top with 'The Hours' and 'The Reader', while Clint Eastwood makes Sean Penn and Sheila Lee Swank, but in terms of the quality and recognition of the film itself, they have not yet reached the status of the four veteran directors.

"I like Daniel's performance." Noye said, resting his chin. "He's very mature and calm."

Martin Scorsese looked at her with a smile: "Leo's performance is indeed a bit jerky than Daniel's, his anger is too superficial, but this is what I need, after all, Amsterdam is a young man, isn't it? "

"Martin, you are the director, you have the final say."

Martin laughed: "Cunning girl, are you afraid that Leo will be angry? Don't worry, I won't tell Leo your evaluation."

Noy looked innocently: "Oh, I'll just tell Leo, my opinion is the same as Martin's, and he can't go wrong from the director's point of view."

Martin clapped his hands: "Well, I'm really old, and I can't get the words out of young people's mouths. After this stage of filming is over, you're going to be ready to play against Bill. He's not a good opponent! "

Noy nodded, staring at the performance on the field.Group scenes are really difficult to shoot, especially when the group scene and the main conflict are shot in one scene.This is what Noye admires about Daniel, whether it is a group play or a solo play, he can do it very well, which is why he was the only one who was nominated for the Oscar for his acting skills in "Gangs of New York".

It is indeed a pity that "Gangs of New York" lost its Oscar. Noye couldn't help turning his attention to Martin Scorsese. It's a pity that Martin hasn't won an Oscar yet.In Noye's view, winning an Oscar is indeed a very mysterious thing. There is no objection to the general awards given when an actor's acting skills crush his opponents. , At this time, it often depends on the operation of the public relations team.
