It's just an adult fairy tale in Hollywood, don't take it as a serious drama.
Sometimes our ratings are always lowered because they do not meet our expectations, but some movies and TV series cannot be viewed from the same angle, just like this Hollywood.
Disadvantages first: Unsteady rhythm, both foreshadowing and climax, a little carried away but it feels like it should be. The quality of the actors is uneven, and it seems that the contrast between the bones and the tender meat of the old drama is particularly large, but perhaps this is a little trick of the director himself, the so-called drama within a play, but because it is too obvious, it makes the perception slightly uncomfortable. There's less comedy and more dark humor, which surprises those who were expecting this to be a serious drama.
But these so-called shortcomings do not live up to the true value of the show, which is to make you eat Hollywood's darkest and most painful once-unknown past like breakfast cereal, like a fairy tale, which is originally a tragedy. But it has the effect of making people sleep peacefully.
So it's just a Feel Good show, that's all, but it's very well presented and the details are perfect. The fake accents of American actors, the gay community in Hollywood, the trade of rights and fame, the unspoken rules of the showbiz... Crushed and wrapped with a layer of sugar paper for you to contain in each episode, the sugar heart is specially added with chocolate. Every episode is reflected.
Here are the rough spoilers:
In order to earn some money, a spiritual guy comes to the gate of the film company every day to wait for the errands, but he has no actor training and is often left out. Because there is a wife at home who is already pregnant with twins, she has to go to a gas station to work part-time as a cowherd. Because he couldn't accept male guests, he pretended to be a policeman and arrested a black comrade to pick up guests for him. Unexpectedly, the black comrade is a down-and-out writer who wrote a script and wanted to break the circle, but was persuaded by the spiritual guy to "come on" together. The first guest I received was a Hanhan guy. This Hanhan was then signed by a big-name agent. Who would have guessed that this big-name agent was Harvey, a gay man, and the signing ceremony was to eat popsicles.
The first guest that the spiritual guy picked up was the wife of the owner of the film company. This milf knew that the guy had the idea of chasing a dream in the entertainment industry and helped him, and finally made him the male protagonist of a movie. And the script writer of this movie is the black man who was pulled by the spiritual guy to be a cowherd before. The director of this film is a half-Asian who looks like Caucasian, with half Filipino descent. He originally wanted to find a Chinese-American woman to star in his next film, but was persuaded by the production director of the film company. He picked the black writer's script out of a pile of scripts thrown at him and planned to make a white movie. It was good weather originally, but his black girlfriend was also a member of the dream-seeking entertainment industry, so the female superior directly gave him a pillow to let him change the script and change the female lead into a black person who could play her role.
After the director woke up, he didn't feel inappropriate, but found it very interesting. After chatting with the director, although there were differences, he finally got support, but the film company boss strongly opposed it, for fear that the film would bring down the entire company. It was a coincidence that the boss had a heart attack in a romantic situation, and Xu Niang took the lead. She felt that the film's creativity was very good, but at the same time, she knew the big boss's concerns and did not support the use of black actresses. However, after the actor training minister, who was also highly recommended by his girlfriend and production director, finally approved the black role, but the budget was stuck.
Milf's daughter was originally a contender for the female lead of the movie, but after seeing her mother sacrifice the film company's energy for women's rights and black rights, she suddenly screwed up her audition enough to be the queen of the movie, and handed it over to a black woman . Such a film written by a black man, directed by an Asian descent, starred by a black woman, and the supporting role is a Chinese film has been completed.
The above is the main line.
The background music and plot, plus the classic Hollywood color palette and beautiful background settings, art props and costumes, have to be said to be a pleasing mini-series. The tension of the old drama is very good, and the extremely convincing dialogue and subtle accent differences make the overall plot development very coherent. There are frequent cool spots, many touching parts, and countless bright spots. Although the interspersed interspersed with the sense of old movies is full of modern interpretations, it does not violate the harmony.
This isn't a miniseries for all ages, but it's an adult fairy tale that can be enjoyed on a Saturday afternoon while sipping on a smoothie in a lazy sleeping position.
Don't be too serious.
