Netflix, which was collectively encircled by Hollywood, can be regarded as raising its eyebrows during the epidemic.
When the global cinemas were helpless to stop the flag, the streaming giant won back the hearts of the audience with a well-made "net big".
The new episodes launched in May will directly insert the spearhead into the heart of the "enemy".
A tiger and wolf operation, the place where the movie dream began black out of the demeanor, black out of the level -
Hollywood
Hollywood
The "blackness" of the entertainment industry has always been a tacit thing.
For example, the exposure of the evil deeds of Weinstein and others in recent years has made the melon-eating masses marvel and open their eyes.
However, the drama did not rush to the hot spots, but set its sights on the distant 1940s.
At that time, Hollywood flourished after World War II, a mature and complete industrial system gradually took shape, and stars and good films emerged in an endless stream.
As Quentin recalls in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, it was a golden age that exuded a romantic atmosphere.
However, in the hands of Netflix, it has become a completely different form.
For example, dreaming back to the wine pond meat forest in ancient Rome, as if there is an illusion of stringing to HBO;
For example, the recognized great film star Vivien Leigh is actually a "crazy woman" who needs Niu Lang to soothe her;
Another example is a legendary agent played by "Otaku Xie Er", who makes people drop their jaws as soon as they open their mouths...
All in all, this version of "Hollywood", which is made up of wild history, black material, and real people, is so drunk and dark
The protagonist of the story is a group of fledgling young people who have been beaten by reality.
Some of them are rooted in red, some are ethnic minorities, and some face sexuality problems, and the only thing they have in common is the desire for movie dreams.
The handsome Jack (David Kellensway) is a World War II veteran.
In order to prove to friends and family that you can do something meaningful in addition to being handsome.
He came to Hollywood with his pregnant wife, hoping to start with group acting in the dream showbiz.
Unfortunately, Jack has no acting experience, and his proud skin bag is mediocre in Hollywood.
As a result, even if he had been on the real battlefield, he could not even get the opportunity to "play" a corpse in a war drama.
On the one hand, jack, who has been defeated repeatedly, has no income at all;
On the other hand, his wife, who works as a waiter in a restaurant, finds out that she is pregnant with twins.
The loan cannot be obtained, the rent cannot be paid, and the "West Drifting" life of the two people will be unsustainable.
Jack mistakenly embarked on an indescribable "kangzhuang road".
Ernie, the owner of the archetypal character, meets Jack at the bar and involuntarily invites him to work at the gas station.
Forced to helpless Jack, originally wanted to do some hard work to make a living, did not expect that the so-called "refueling" is a wonderful pun -
As long as the customer says the code "dreamland", the beautiful refueling boy has to open the door to the car and go to their residence to provide the most professional cowboy service...
At first, Jack, of course, refused.
However, most of these customers are celebrities in the circle, with status, status, literacy, and more large amounts of money, and the process is not as bad as imagined.
A few times down, Jack accepted this setting and established himself in a foreign land with his wife.
Even more fortunately, the first and most popular object he served was the hostess of the top studio Ace Film Company.
As a result, Jack saved the country in such a curve and became a formal "trainee" of the film company.
The second to appear is the black gay Archie (Jeremy Pope).
With such a setting, there will certainly be people who blurt out "political correctness" in this way.
But at that time, such a group was indeed the lowest level of existence in the industry.
So, even if Archie is talented, he can write a script that is appreciated by the top management of the film company.
But he can only hide in anonymity, take a meager fee, and hide behind the scenes.
His acquaintance with Jack is dramatic.
Jack, the big straight man, is firm and unwilling to provide services to the same sex.
In order to save his job, he had to pretend to be a policeman and "catch" Archie for the boss.
The two had the same dreams and faced the same difficulties, and soon became colleagues and friends.
At work, Archie met another 18-line actor, Roy (Jack Pickkin).
He is the only character in the protagonist's group with a real archetype.
Roy was originally just a country boy with a standard "American face", and later changed his name to Roque Hudson, and has since entered the star.
Romantic romance films such as "Heaven and Wasteland Can't Get Old love" and "Deep Lock Spring Light A Courtyard Sorrow" are his representative works.
However, if a "deep cabinet" wants to succeed, it is not as simple as changing the name.
The turning point in Roy's career was actually the encounter with the famous agent Henry Wilson, who was also "deep in the closet".
Under the studio system at that time, the well-connected magnates were able to cover the sky with such a hand.
"Xie Ear" subverted the performance, almost laughing people to death~
Compared with the above three, Claire, played by Samara Viven, is somewhat outstanding.
She is the daughter of Jack's big customer, the industry's golden lady who is rooted in the red.
Logically, such a birth is not a problem at all to be a star.
However, Claire's big boss father thinks that actresses are all that and firmly opposes his daughter's entry.
Claire, eager to shine on the big screen, had no choice but to participate in an acting training class under a pseudonym, trying to use her talent to break through the sky.
It was here that she met Jack, who was trying to improve her acting skills.
The best student in the class was the black beauty Kamil (Laura Harrier).
She and Archie face similar troubles, due to skin color, no matter how high the acting skills, no matter how hard the training, can not get a good role.
You can only play some funny clowns forever, and follow the same trend behind the heroine's ass.
Camille's boyfriend, Raymond (Darren Chris), is a budding director.
Half of his Asian ancestry, his dream is to invite legendary Chinese actress Huang Liushuang out of the mountains to make a movie about Asian stories.
Unfortunately, the subject matter that has nothing to do with white people obviously did not have any money at that time.
Therefore, Raymond, who had a hard time getting the opportunity, could only obey the producer's arrangement and make a commercial blockbuster called "Peg" first.
This play-within-a-play tells the story of a teenage girl who pursues a movie dream who is trapped by reality and finally jumps off the Hollywood sign.
The author of the script is Archie, who submitted the manuscript anonymously.
Six young people with dreams, just by chance, because the same play intersected.
Together, they overcame many obstacles, not only made "Peg" a successful release, but also a double harvest at the box office, becoming the biggest winner of the Academy Awards that year.
It is particularly ironic that this ending, accompanied by the title of the final episode, "Hollywood-style Ending".
The "Hollywood" in the play is far darker than reality;
The protagonists' struggle process is much easier than reality;
Think of the dream girl who jumped off the "Hollywood" suicide in that play-within-a-play.
The three-way intertextuality, perhaps the nameless bones under Beverly Hills, is the true destination of most dreamers.
As the tagline at the top of the poster reads , "What if you could rewrite the story?" ”
American drama ace producer Ryan Murphy gave himself a certain gentle, romantic fantasy in "Hollywood".
While it is impossible to change the past, at least it can be expected that the future will be slightly better.
