Isabel Adjani's crazy performance in "Enchanted" makes people deeply experience:
What is the symbiosis of faith and joy, and what is the unity of angels and demons.
There are countless followers in later generations, but few can match them.
However, the evil king found an unpopular small film.
It's not a classic, but it's not far behind.
The heroine is also a familiar face, Alex Esso in "Deadly Neighbor".
I didn't expect that in addition to being bold and hardcore, she also has such a morbid and delicate side-
Sparkling eyes
Starry Eyes
Sarah is a young girl at the bottom of Hollywood.
She earns extra money as a waitress during the day, and attends cram classes at night to improve her acting skills.
All the hard work and struggle, just to win a place in Hollywood.
The one who "lives" in the same youth dormitory as Sarah is also a group of young people with movie dreams.
However, Sarah is not interested in these "quasi-directors" and "quasi-screenwriters" who are dormant underground.
Her goal, from beginning to end, was only for actors from big-name companies to audition.
After numerous failures, an invitation letter from "Astreios" catches Sarah's attention.
The production company, once made a name for itself, went bankrupt and restructured and re-emerged.
Now, their new film, called "Pleasant Scream", is in need of a young female lead.
Sarah, who met all the conditions, was overjoyed, read the script overnight, and immediately set off to participate.
Unfortunately, the examiner didn't seem to be satisfied, and coldly asked her to go back and wait for news.
Sarah, who knew that there was no play, fell to the bottom of her mood, and rushed into the women's toilet as usual to vent wantonly.
Unexpectedly, this scene of collapse happened to be seen by the female examiner, and offered to give her another chance.
Well, Sarah needs to show off her body in public......
She had never come to this point, and she inevitably collapsed completely under pressure and contradictions, tearing her hair while screaming and fainting.
An unpleasant audition came to an end.
Back in the decadent, hopeless apartment, confronted with the hypocritical, selfish restaurateur again.
Sarah couldn't help but reconsider her original intention-
Compared with success, what is a little "dedication"?
The next day, the production company miraculously called.
They seemed quite satisfied with Sarah's real "madness", and made an exception to let her advance directly to the retest.
This time, Sarah didn't disappoint and showed perfectly in the spotlight.
She was finally officially hired and had the opportunity to meet the company's CEO
The old man's speech at first was relatively normal, nothing more than some cynical boasting.
But as he spoke, he put his hand on Sarah's thigh......
At this point, Sarah had little choice but to be a "realist" as he wished......
However, there are many differences between the process and the imagination.
A distorted star symbol was visible on the back of the boss's hand, and he spoke words that resembled a contract;
From the darkness, a large group of strange people wearing black masks and black cloaks are summoned.
As Sarah replied "I do", she fainted with black eyes.
When she woke up again, the poor girl had somehow returned to her bed.
Although conscious, she had unbearable abdominal pain;
Not to mention the bleeding from the seven orifices, hair and nails have fallen off;
The whole person withered as quickly as autumn leaves......
If it goes on like this, let alone being a star, it is difficult to maintain a normal life.
Not surprisingly, when the situation deteriorated sharply, a call from the production company came at the right time.
The boss whispered slowly and unquestionably—
"You can go into the dirt to be forgotten forever, or join us for a complete rebirth.
But it's important to remember that dreams come with sacrifice. ”
The nightmare ensues, and Sarah can see the stars like daylight;
You can also see yourself shining after becoming famous.
When she woke up, Sarah finally made her own decision-
a "competitor" who loves to sneer at her on weekdays;
is the priority object that needs to be processed......
Those "quasi-cameramen", "quasi-screenwriters", and "quasi-directors" who have naïve dreams cannot be let go either......
The moment the blood stained everything red, the black-faced man really appeared as promised.
They took the weakened Sarah to the top of Beverly Hill and began preparations for the initiation of the newcomers.
That's right, in the name of "Astreios", in fact, it is a cult.
Most of the members are elderly dignitaries in Hollywood.
They chanted incantations to bury Sarah deep in the ground;
Waiting for her to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly to usher in a new life......
The next day, Sarah crawls out of the dirt in the morning sun, her white skin contrasting with the dark dirt, like a newborn baby who has just seen the light of day.
The cultists had long since dispersed, leaving her with only a delicate "birthday present".
Sarah, who doesn't know why, returns to her apartment and happens to meet one of her roommates who survived last night.
The irrepressible impulse in her heart suddenly made her understand her mission-
She devours innocent roommates like a devil;
Then open the gift box and change into the wig, dress, and necklace inside.
The emerald green pupils emitted a greedy fierce light, and at this moment, Sarah finally became a big star in Hollywood as she wished......
Aside from the curiosity and fragrance, the metaphor of this film is actually quite simple -
If you want to succeed quickly, you have to trample your peers under your feet and sell yourself to the upper echelons, begging them for some handouts.
Ironically, this shortcut is not exclusive to Hollywood, but a kind of normalcy in the world.
Decay and dissipate in the mud, or lose yourself and fly into the sky.
Presumably most people would choose the latter.
