- June 2004. ¡÷¡ùRead a book.¦ä1bookkÒ»
The bustling Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, New York, is lined with skyscrapers. There are cars and cars on the spacious and clean road. There are too many yellow taxis to count. The equally wide sidewalks are full of pedestrians. There are elegant street signs and street walls. Classic lamps are hung, and the smell of baking bread floats in the wind
The golden girl looked around as she walked, feeling constantly in her heart that she really saw what a metropolis is today.
This is her first time in New York. At her request, her mother took her for a short trip during the summer vacation. It was the first day of a week. It's one thing to see New York in images and pictures, but it's quite another to walk in New York in person.
Even the zebra crossings and traffic lights are so beautiful
"oh!!!"
"Jane!?"
After crossing the zebra crossing and about to step onto the sidewalk, Jennifer kicked one foot on the edge of the sidewalk, raised her other foot, and immediately threw herself forward. Hearing her daughter's scream, Karen turned her head and looked over. She didn't have time to hold her back, and almost instantly watched her daughter fall face to face on the street.
The passers-by were all exclaimed, and after lying there for only two or three seconds, Jennifer jumped up like an electric shock and shouted: "It's okay, I'm okay!"
She gently shook her painful left ankle, and a look of pain flashed through her pretty face.
"Are you okay?" No one cared about her except her mother. Jennifer forced a smile and said: "I suddenly want to kiss New York, hahaha, it's okay."
In her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, the sidewalks and zebra crossings are flat, with wild grass next to them. She was born there and grew up there. She has never felt that she has to pay attention to lifting her feet when walking on the sidewalk. The way she walks is That's fine in the country, but not in New York.
Look at those high-rise buildings that can be as large as the entire town. In New York, in the "outside world", everything is completely different.
The pain in her ankle caused Jennifer¡¯s mind to start churning. Some thoughts became things of the past, while others emerged. She suddenly felt that the worries in the country town and the troubles at school were nothing, all nonsense.
Because she doesn¡¯t belong there, Jennifer Sherrard Lawrence doesn¡¯t belong in Louisville¡
¡°That would only kill her, living a regular life, high school, college, maybe not going to college and becoming a cowgirl, participating in some bull riding competition in the future stupid. Look at these! These light-footed New Yorkers, elegant and beautiful New York girls, take a look at these people's lifestyles, their experiences, and their passions.
How could it be found in the countryside? Nothing remains the same in the countryside.
"Mom." Jennifer's voice was already slightly hoarse, but now it is even more hoarse: "New York has changed me. I can feel it changing me."
"It's still early. Book 1 book ka book ns a h watch u_._c¦äcc" Karen said with a smile. She managed a children's summer camp in her hometown and was used to seeing city children say how interesting it is after experiencing country life. How to be changed? Jenny wanted to travel to New York after hearing too much about the city. This summer she took the time to fulfill her daughter's wish.
As a mother, she naturally encourages people: "Different environments will change people. Children in the city are changed by the country, and children in the country are changed by the city. Jane, we are no worse than New Yorkers."
"I don't hate my hometown, it's just" Jennifer walked and looked at the scenery along the street. Those luxurious items in the shop windows? Nonot those. She vaguely understood and said: "We have no possibilities there, but here we are full of possibilities, as if life can be lived extraordinary."
"If you like New York, then go to college here." Karen encouraged again.
University? Jennifer was silent, she really wanted to move to New York now and start her own adventure. But I don¡¯t know what I should do, and by what method? In other words, what kind of life do you want to pursue?
She hopes to find this answer before leaving New York.
But she didn't expect the answer to come so quickly. When she visited the Museum of Modern Art in New York on 53rd Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, Jennifer watched the "Great Actresses" series of films in the museum and watched Sarah - Performances by Bernhardt (1844-19) and Eleonora Duss (1858-1924).
They are all recognized as great actresses of that era, different acting factions, but equally great.
That kind of greatness touched Jennifer's heart and made it jump violently. Not only did she have a new or long-buried passion, she also saw a possibility.
In her hometown, although she did very well in school and felt that she had a boring personality, she was not a nerd. She participated in the cheerleading team, hockey team, and softball team.?She worked as a local model, but it didn't interest her to continue.
And the performance that she had not tried yet made her heart beat wildly.
That night, she and her mother went to the Winter Garden Theater on Broadway to watch the musical "Mamma Mia". While laughing non-stop, she looked at the people called "actors", and they seemed to be nothing special. People can do what they want.
She was not the prettiest in town in her hometown, but she was never called ugly. She was very beautiful! She hasn't even passed her 14th birthday yet, but she has already grown very tall. Based on her parents' appearance, she will definitely have a good figure in the future. So she felt that she was qualified as an actor. As for acting she could also start learning. There was nothing she couldn't learn.
On the second night after arriving in Manhattan, Jennifer and her mother went to the cinema to watch a movie because of their excitement. It was no different from her hometown, so much so that she felt that "movies are fair". Of course, Louisville also has a movie theater, although it is small, and you can see most of the movies shown in New York.
She likes movies and should be considered a movie fan. She is at least a big fan of Meryl Streep and Jeff Bridges. "The Big Lebowski" is one of her favorite movies. She laughs every time she watches it. She likes "The Big Lebowski". "The Last Picture Show", I like "Harold and Maude", I like "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", Robert Redford and Paul Newman are so handsome. ¡ùYikanshu.Book 1¦äk book
What if you became a movie actor? Why haven't you thought about it before?
AMC Cinemas is showing many movies, including "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban". Emma Watson is the same age as her, but she is already a big star and leads a colorful life; there is another The movie "The Day After Tomorrow" was a blockbuster movie, and the heroine Amy Rossum also starred in the movie version of "The Phantom of the Opera". She suddenly thought, "What the hell kind of life have I been living?"
There are several new movies this week, including "Star Wars 2", "Garfield", "The Copycat", and a spoof comedy "The Wedding Is Coming" that was released to the public.
She just heard about this movie and its behind-the-scenes story, oh my God! This miracle that shocked the United States made her a little stunned. 16 years old? Director, producer, screenwriter, starring? She was talking about the 16-year-old film genius, Ye Wei, who had realized the American dream.
The theater was almost full. As the movie was shown, the audience burst into laughter. My mother also laughed, and she herself laughed again and again. When the ho-deep-is-temptation-1ove sound came to the end, The whole place burst into laughter.
Looking at the handsome and funny "Wedding God" on the big screen, Jennifer suddenly felt cold all over and forgot to blink and look around! This was created by a 16-year-old boy who overcame many difficulties. He is becoming a rising star in the United States and living a life different from ordinary people.
What are everyone doing in school? What about her? A bunch of fools, how on earth did they survive?
Ye Wei, she suddenly envied him and admired him so much. She seemed to be inspired, and she had indeed become another fan of someone else.
But she also felt a sense of panic. She wasn't living in Los Angeles or New York, or studying in one of those prestigious private schools What would happen to her when she was 16? A mediocre country golden kitten? Bull riding contest?
¡°No¡that¡¯s too scary!¡±
¡°Become a movie actor, and one day make a movie with a genius like Ye Wei, and then let the entire theater and millions of viewers cheer for you. It is also about living a non-dreary life that you want and challenging those difficult and impossible things.
That¡¯s the answer.
If you are in your hometown, you can only think about it. If you are in New York or Los Angeles, anything is possible.
¡¡
A week later, this short trip to New York ended, and Jennifer and her mother were going back to their hometown as originally planned.
She didn¡¯t want to nor was willing to leave just like that. She wanted to stay in New York to spend the whole summer and try to find opportunities. Her family is a middle-class family, not rich but not strapped either. It is no problem to find a cheaper apartment to live in New York for a month or two. And she had a cold, so flying around like this to adapt to the temperature change was not a good thing.
"I might get pneumonia, so just stay in New York for the rest of the summer." Jennifer was awkward with her mother and begged: "Mom, promise me, promise me!"
But no, it wasn¡¯t that her mother didn¡¯t want to promise her, something happened at the summer camp and she had to go back. In a complicated mood, she returned to her hometown in the countryside with her mother.
"I returned to a remote town from the cosmopolitan city. The farm and summer camp were not far away. It seemed that I could vaguely hear the neighing of cows and horses. I have to walk there every day when I go to school. I didn't notice anything before, but now my mind is full of New York, Los Angeles, and acting in movies How can I live like this?
Even the originally elegant bedroom looked shabby and everything was different.
Although I have a cold this timeIt did not cause pneumonia, but Jennifer felt very ill. For several days, she lay almost motionless on the bed in the bedroom, thinking a lot. She stood up in front of the computer in the middle of the night and searched online for "how to become an actor", "acting studies", "New York talent agency"
After a week, Jennifer's cold got better. During this period, her good friends came to visit her. She said to everyone: "I want to move to New York to live and develop, not now, but one day I will, this is My life goal."
Every friend said: "Okay, I support you." Hey everyone, can you be more excited? She could even hear them teasing behind her: "Jane is dumb again."
No matter what others say, her determination to be an actress is unwavering! Just watch.
Before dinner that day, while the whole family was in the dining room, Jennifer stood solemnly on a dining chair and looked at the four family members at the dining table, her father and mother, and her two uneasy brothers Ben and Brian announced seriously: "Everyone, I want to announce my decision. I want to be a movie actor. I want to move to New York! Los Angeles is also available."
There was silence in the dining room until the eldest brother Ben said doubtfully: "Didn't you say you wanted to be a cowboy before?" The second brother Brian suddenly laughed
"Your sister has always been very thoughtful!" Gary Lawrence quickly wanted to seek justice and did not want to have dinner before the conflict broke out.
"I won't be a cowboy anymore." Jennifer didn't want to be the same as her second brother, so she said loudly: "I am an actor! I watched some acting studies and found it very interesting and I am very interested. I have a plan!" She opened her hands , expressed that it was a big plan: "First, I learned some basics of acting and prepared myself for an interview with an agency; then, my mother took me to New York to look for an agent. If I have the ability, I can sign an agent. I signed. After the agent, it¡¯s time to audition.¡±
The more she talked, the more expectant and excited she became: "There are so many movies, and we audition diligently. I will always win, right? Maybe I will win a heroine in the first audition." She couldn't help laughing as she said it, but she laughed The sound gradually stopped due to the awkward atmosphere.
Looking at Jane who was beaming with joy, Ben and Brian were neither smiling nor smiling, they were frozen there.
Gary Lawrence said, "Okay." Karen didn't speak, thinking about something.
"This plan really works." Jennifer has done a lot of research and speaks with confidence, showing why she was chosen as the "st-ta1kative (the most talkative person)" by the whole class at school, and she can't stop talking. Come down: "Even if you can't win the lead role, you can always win the supporting role? I'm pretty, right?" She twisted her posture a few times and continued: "I'm not a fool. I will make progress even if I fail, so I got the role. It's a matter of time. It is said on the Internet that everything is difficult at the beginning, and every role is a good opportunity. Once I have played the first role, will I still realize the second role and the third role? Those people in the industry might get to know each other one day viy? "
She couldn't help but laugh again: "It's the recently popular genius Ye Wei, "The Wedding Is Coming". Then I will live the life of an actor. A movie star?" She thought for a while before adding: "Maybe, but I really I can¡¯t imagine what it would be like to be surrounded by people taking pictures while eating. I may not like it, but I don¡¯t like ordinary people even more.¡±
Because of the silence in the dining room, Jennifer stopped talking again and frowned at the silent crowd, "What do you want to say? What do you think?"
"Jen." Karen finally said, and the whole family looked at her and stood up. Her mother is the backbone of the family. Jennifer suddenly felt nervous. Her mother smiled and said, "If you want to be an actor, then try being an actor." An actor! Your plan is very good, mom supports you!" Gary Lawrence laughed.
"Wow!!!" Jennifer shouted excitedly, standing on the chair and dancing: "When I get the Oscar, I will put the trophy in our dining room, hahaha!"
"Okay, I support you." The second brother clapped his hands, "Are you done? I'm hungry."
"I support you." Ben shook his head slightly, a little girl suffering from New York disease.
What is New York disease? Even if you go to New York and fall in love with it and feel that you are a person, in fact it is nothing but bullshit. You want to stay there and go there to make a fortune, but no matter what, you finally return to your hometown in despair, preparing to participate in your bull riding competition.

June 2005, Santa Monica, Los Angeles.
In the waiting area outside the audition room, a group of more than 20 girls were sitting on chairs waiting for the audition. Their assistants, family members and other entourages were also waiting. Some people were playing with their mobile phones, some were reading magazines, some were concentrating with their eyes closed, putting on their makeup, and just staring but no one was talking, it was very quiet.
¡°Hi¡I¡¯m Jennifer Lauren??. "Not long after Jennifer sat down, the silence around her today made her irritable, so she softly greeted the brown girl next to her. The other person glanced at her, then looked away without saying anything, and continued to read the magazine.
She sighed in her heart, she had known for a year that this was it. Here, they were all stupid, and so was she.
It has been a year. Apart from signing with an ordinary New York agency, the plan has stalled. I went to New York, Los Angeles, and Toronto, auditioning again and again, but failed again and again. If it weren't for the full support of my family, I wouldn't be able to survive now.
Now she knows that she is nothing special, and that failure may not lead to success. There are thousands of people like her, and there are more than twenty around her, vying for a small role in a TV movie.
Her idol Ye Wei is filming the dreamy "Little Miss Sunshine", but she doesn't know if she is an actor, an actor without any acting experience - Didn't finish reading?
