Because of the epidemic, stars in the entertainment industry (especially overseas) have shifted their career focus to private life, love and pregnancy.
However, there are also painting styles that are different.
"Sister Stone" Emma Stone and her partner, Dave McCary, writer and director of Saturday Night Live (SNL), founded the new company Fruit Tree, which specializes in film and television, and signed a two-year TV cooperation agreement with A24, the industry's hottest independent production company.
Instead of showing love, he turned to a career; instead of acting, he became a boss. Sister Shi is really silently doing big things.
Originally, Sister Stone planned to hold a wedding with Dave McCary in March, but it was cancelled due to the epidemic.
Just when people were thinking about when they would see the wedding, the two seemed to be silently married - in a live video broadcast in May, Sister Shi's ring finger was no longer the previous engagement ring, but replaced by a plain ring:
Although this low profile is particularly not "Hollywood", it is quite in line with their long-standing style of doing things.
When the two were engaged in December last year, McCary silently posted a group photo on his ins account, without sensational text, not even the ring:
The ring was purchased by McCary for $4,780 (more than 30,000 yuan) at the Catbird retail store in New York, and it's unpretentious compared to the millions of pigeon eggs that other celebrities have.
Not even this is a "diamond ring": in the center is an 8 mm Akoya pearl surrounded by several 0.37 carats of broken diamonds, forming a snowflake pattern, set in an 18k gold band. Although the price is not expensive enough, it is still very good to be able to match the classical design of Japanese jewelry master Yoshinobu Kataoka.
Maybe some people don't know much about this new "brother-in-law". McCary is three years older than Sister Stone, because Sister Stone often goes to SNL to host and guest appearances, McCary has also written short plays for her, and the two people have known and fallen in love with each other, and they have been in a relationship for almost three years.
In addition to the engagement, the two people have never "officially announced" anything, nor have they publicly talked about each other, nor have they revealed the details of their relationship, participated in two award ceremonies together (but only took photos offstage, the red carpet is separated), occasionally went out to eat and buy things to be photographed, that's all.
Even if you sit on the sidelines of the NBA and watch the game together, you don't have intimate performance and physical contact like other star couples: not like hot love, but it looks harmonious and happy, even very "ordinary". Sister Shi chose to develop and maintain such an emotional relationship, which is actually not surprising.
In the eyes of many people, Sister Shi is a cheerful, easy-going, and humorous woman; but in fact, she is an anxious, sensitive person who has strict boundaries on many things.

Originally from a small town in Arizona, Sister Stone began performing at the Youth Theater at the age of 11 and made up her mind to act at the age of 15.
After dropping out of high school, she and her mother moved to Los Angeles, where she lived in a two-bedroom apartment near the farmers' market, driving a red Beetle to audition each time and starting her Hollywood dreams.
So resolutely determined, her "star path" seems to open so smoothly, but the story behind it is not ordinary -
When Sister Stone was seven years old, she had her first anxiety attack, and she felt that the house was going to burn down and she could not breathe. Since then she has barely been able to leave her mother, go to school normally, or socialize with friends.
On the one hand, she followed her parents to psychotherapy, and on the other hand, she began to find ways to divert anxiety in her performances, especially those exaggerated and improvised comedy performances. This became a way and an outlet for her to relieve her mental stress.
When she first arrived in Los Angeles, she didn't have any acting opportunities, and Sister Stone's first job was to work part-time in a dog bakery, making some dog cookies. It wasn't until she was 18 years old that she got the chance to star in the campus comedy "Too Bad", and Hollywood finally opened the door to her.

Including "Gossip Project", in those two or three years, Sister Shi acted in several campus films, making a cute "little chick" in front of the camera. We've seen too many sweet-looking or cute actresses trapped in the same type of role for decades, being rom-com heroines, and then disappearing.

But Sister Stone didn't. "You always have that feeling like you might be an outsider again and then people don't want to hire you anymore." She feared she would make a mistake, and then went back to the counter at the dog bakery.

The more anxious people are, the more they need to be in control. "My mom always said I was born with a nervous breakdown. But I'm also lucky because of anxiety because it keeps me energized. "Sister Stone's transformation began very early: she starred in the anti-racial female theme work "Help" at the age of 22, and began the road of "rushing awards", followed by the superhero film "The Amazing Spider-Man", the crime film "Bandit Legend", the literary film "Magic Moonlight", and then the 2014 awards season hit drama film "Birdman"... Each work is very cleverly chosen.
27-year-old starred in "Philharmonic City", 28-year-old became a film queen, became the highest-paid actress of the year, debuted ten years ago to win the other actors exhausted the entire career may not be able to reach the height, but Sister Shi's anxiety has not been reduced. "I think it's going to always be part of my personality. I'm a worried person. I haven't slept all night in five years. But I also know that many of us don't have one. ”
She went on a 14-month absence, passing the time in New York and Los Angeles, sometimes wearing sunglasses and hats hidden in crowded streets.
After returning from the air, her two works are even more "crazy" - one is the American drama "Madman", which she starred in and participated in the production, and the other is the court gay film "Darling".
"Madman" is the first American drama starring Sister Shi, and the story focuses on a revolutionary new drug experiment - it can cure human psychological problems and relieve the ultimate pain of the spiritual level by opening up the illusion of the brain. "The reason I love Crazy is that people have their own inner struggles and try to fix them with drugs. But in the process, you will find that the connection and love between people is the only way for us to spend our lives. I like this idea. ”
Participating in "Darling" was more impressed by the strong personal charm and style of director Yorgos Lanthimos ("Lobster", "Death of the Holy Deer"), "He's nuts in the best way. (He's the best crazy guy)", Sister Stone commented. A cold palace fight scene with some absurd colors, the love-hate relationship between the three women, Sister Stone was once again nominated for an Oscar.

After that, Sister Shi ushered in her 30 years old. "I was depressed for about a week... Then I realized that the funniest part of being an adult is that most things get sour, sweet, and bitter. I'm still searching for my own inner voice. Her mindset shifted from "what can I get" to "what I want," remaining unquestionably loyal to herself and tenaciously searching for the truest form and way to express herself.

She has said that one of her most insistent views is "choosing a family". Whether it is love, friendship, or the person who has formed a long-term relationship with yourself, you are the family members that you choose to enter the next stage of life with yourself, and you will give each other unconditional love and support like parents and siblings.
We can see from this that Sister Shi's concept of love and family is not only about "hormones", but more about whether he can move forward with himself. Dave McCary is undoubtedly the right person to choose, they are also from the comedy background, but not limited to this field, in fact, Dave McCary's first feature film "Brisby Bear" was shortlisted for the 2017 Sundance Film Festival Jury Prize, which received a lot of praise in the independent film industry. Now, together they're building a company to continue making movies, and more than a couple fits.
It is not easy to insist on herself and keep a low profile in the entertainment industry, for Sister Shi, her biggest fear is that she will not be able to live a relatively "normal" life due to her fame, so she never talks about her family and her private life head-on, and she forcefully blocks the interference that the outside world may bring to her. At a party, a drunken man walked up to her and asked for a hug, and she sarcastically asked, "What do you think I am, Mickey Mouse?" She will never allow herself to be entertained and entertained.
Speaking of which, we always can't avoid regretting Sister Stone's last relationship - she and Andrew Garfield were in love for four years because of the drama, and finally broke up. Sister Shi only talked about their separation once in the interview: "I still love him very much... It was a good year. There is also sadness. There are gains and losses. ”
We still don't know why they separated, but it doesn't matter anymore, they can still hug and smile without hesitation when they meet again after separation, and we can see their appreciation and support for each other. It's just, presumably, that's not enough to sustain them as each other's life partners to keep going.

Choose a person, choose a real and plain life, this is the temperament of Sister Shi, but also the way she dominates the trajectory of life, she can seek madness and freedom in the role, but have a life that does not fall into glitz, that is not drowned, true happiness.
