Hollywood was trampled under the feet of gangsters

The showbiz has always been in touch with the underworld, I believe it is already a well-known secret. It can not be said that behind all the shining stars on the red carpet is a boss with a gold necklace of chopsticks and a cigar, but occasionally he respectfully calls such characters "* brother" and "* master" in high-end restaurants. No one can escape laughing and socializing.
The underworld is a great white shark that can never eat enough. As long as it can eat, he has to rush forward to tear off a large piece of meat. What's more, can he let go of such a big fat meat in the entertainment industry? Except that Zhengerbajing uses the interest earned from loan sharks to invest in movie records to win a star, and then "inadvertently" in the magazines founded by his innocent company to make some big names want to take photos when they are not famous. Exposure, increasing the sales of magazines and increasing fame, tsk, it is also an investment of fame and fortune. A celebrity who has been admired and touted and spoiled by the public is of course indispensable when he flips the table and screams for privacy protection, but the boss of the other person is at best when you blow the ears, observe the public mood at the right time, and immediately declare if the situation is not right. Apologize, but after the limelight, you should be exposed. People have walked today with knives and guns. You have more bullet holes than you are called "card" by the director. Can you expect him to give up the food he grabbed from the rain of bullets for your privacy? Wake up, boy.
As for how Hollywood stars shine or dim under the support and restraint of the gang, I believe those who have watched "The Godfather" are not difficult to understand—remember the mad male star who begged the Godfather to help him make a comeback? If you don't remember, let Grandpa Brando remind you...
back to the film. Seeing the end, I thought for a long time and didn't understand the meaning of the name "GET SHORTY" except for the popular short star Will. So, let me ignore it.
This black humor film is naturally reminiscent of another classic gangster drama "Pulp Fiction". The two have too much in common: Hollywood stars, gangster contradictions, N clues that seem to be unrelated but continue to converge. The ridiculous style, and the disco-style and cheerful soundtrack, quack. But regardless of the plot setting of the story or the comic effect, "GET SHORTY" is far behind "Pulp Fiction" (although I have almost forgotten the plot of "Low"--|||), only The story can be told more completely.
Regarding the role of actor Qi Li, the director has undoubtedly put a lot of effort into rendering it. And this "Da Erlong" (loan shark) who has been in the underworld for many years, the old way is calm, cunning and wise, but also naively obsessed with movies, and has always dreamed that one day he can make a movie of his own. , Hollywood really does not forget to promote its own "Dream Factory" sign). As the saying goes, contradictory and dangerous men are the easiest to bring women down, and I am one of them. Therefore, shamelessly speaking, I think this role is so successful (big love).
As for the incumbent Will, he is a typical example, there is nothing to say, just see for yourself.
And Will’s wife of the chaff, Kiri’s later girlfriend, is even more purely used to create a comedy atmosphere and set off the actor... what? Is it a vase? The point is that she doesn’t look right to live with the term "vase"... You said she wants to introduce Kiley to Will, but Kiley and Will’s new girlfriend, rock star or old friend (yes, that girl Back then, standing on the street in Qili’s jurisdiction), it seems you are useless as an abandoned woman...so I had to go there by myself.
There is also the brain-disabled screenwriter who was debt-collected by Qili, and the little idiot gang leader who was grudges with Qili, there is really nothing to say, just to set off the wit of the actor.
My mother, at the end of writing, I found out that this movie was originally meant to talk about such a man.
All in all: pastime is good, no need to go into it. complete.
