[American Entertainment] Kise's Hollywood Diary

Chapter 180 My heart is broken

Vincent strictly controlled the time for the two of them to talk on the phone, and would hang up the phone and go to sleep as soon as the time came. One person has to go to class the next day, and the other person has to go to work the next day. These are both laborious and mental tasks. It is more serious to lie down in bed early and rest.

Leonardo did it no matter how reluctant he was. After the two finally reconciled, he began to care about his performance in front of Vincent - he didn't mean to change his image, Leonardo just wanted to Let the other person feel that he is changing in a good direction. At least he can't be the kind of man who acts like a baby and makes all kinds of demands to his lover.

Vincent's decision to shift his focus from career to studies made Leonardo feel extremely complicated. If there is anyone who will be his strongest competitor in the next few years, those actors in their forties and fifties aside, the younger generation The first person here is none other than Vincent. The window period and the vacancy period are different concepts. The former is a vacant window, while the latter is an active vacancy.

In the entertainment industry where new headlines are made every day and countless newcomers emerge every year, if you don’t seize resources, the audience’s attention and the fan base, don’t expect those movie fans who can climb the wall faster than flipping through a book. How long do you stay.

Leonardo believes that he has accumulated a very stable fan base after debuting for more than ten years, but he does not dare to disappear from the public for a long time. Bringing your work to the public and simply building a sense of presence are two completely different things. The former is a serious promotion, while the latter is just for the sake of gaining recognition, but there are so many celebrities like the latter that you can't count. Under the premise that large-scale, high-quality movies will not give priority to these topical figures, they can only increase their own value by relying on their popularity.

In the five years since his debut with "Sweet Sixteen" in 2002, Vincent has maintained a pace of one new film every year. However, he is such a willful and wanton person who can easily capture everyone's attention. look.

The privilege of young people is that they can fail for their dreams and be wanton for freedom. At this point, the public always has some tolerance for young actors, although to a large extent this tolerance will weaken to nothing as they grow older. When young actors are no longer young, the eyes of the audience and the public media will change from extremely tolerant to extremely harsh. Actors with Leonardo's experience are the most knowledgeable about this.

After all, the United States is still a country that longs for dreams and worships dreams. How many black actors has Ray Scott Whitaker inspired by becoming the fourth black actor in Oscar film history with "The Last Days"? There is no way of knowing how many films with black actors or actresses starring black people or other major roles will be produced in the first year after the 79th Oscars, but it is foreseeable that there will be many black actors in this year’s awards season.

This is like Vincent being crowned emperor in one fell swoop at the 78th Academy Awards. In the past year, whether they were commercial films, literary films or other films, younger actors were invariably replaced.

Both of the above examples can be labeled as the "American Dream". The former encourages a certain race as a whole, and the latter inspires an entire age group.

The essence of Hollywood is fame and fortune. No matter what kind of pursuit it is, it requires a huge price, and few people will be able to completely maintain their true intentions after entering this circle.

Vincent's temporary "retirement" is not only a test for himself, but also a test for the public. Everything he has now is unattainable to others. Even Leonardo cannot completely put away his jealousy of his lover from an objective point of view.
