Chapter 53 A Child Star Who Failed to Rise to Fame
Lin Tian even had to tilt his head to go around the huge obstacle before he could see the beautiful face behind it that seemed completely out of place with its size!
Absolutely top-notch!
Even though Lin Tian is currently at the Atlantic Arena, the place with the most beautiful women and female celebrities in the United States and even the world, he saw several very famous female celebrities from the 90s right next to him!
Everyone knows that the front row of the Atlantic Arena is not only the VIP seats for watching the game, but also a place where female celebrities compete to show off their charm!
Even so, as Lin Tian's gaze swept across the entire venue, there were almost none that could compare to the scale of the person in front of him!
Not to mention that the person in front of you has a slightly immature and youthful face, looking a bit like a high school student!
"You don't know him?" Lin Tian withdrew his somewhat impolite gaze in just one second and instead smiled at the beautiful woman.
The pretty woman said a little shyly, "To be honest, I don't know much about the NBA, but judging from his skills and physique, I'd guess he's an assistant coach? But I recognize two people next to this fat guy: Jordan and Rodman!"
"Looks like you really don't know much about the NBA," Lin Tian said with a smile and a shrug. "I thought everyone in Los Angeles would know this fat guy who doesn't understand basketball. He's Magic Johnson, the former king of Los Angeles, he was even the king of this league!"
"The best point guard in NBA history, bar none!" Lin Tian looked at Magic Johnson, who was sitting on the sidelines resting with sweat dripping down his face. He really wanted to go over and chat with Magic Johnson to see if he could squeeze some skills out of him.
After all, which point guard doesn't admire Magic Johnson's achievements and abilities?
"Okay, I admit it. My agent sent me here to create some scandal or something to get me on the front page of the entertainment newspapers and get some exposure." The girl shrugged and then complained, "This ticket is really expensive!"
"Oh, right, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Jennifer Connelly! And you? You must be a new actress!"
It was her!
Lin Tian immediately remembered who this girl was!
Once hailed as Hollywood's most innocent and beautiful top child star! In 1984, 14-year-old Jennifer Connelly made a stunning appearance in "Once Upon a Time in America," portraying a fairy-like little girl. Although her role was small, lasting only a few minutes, anyone who watched "Once Upon a Time in America" will remember Connelly's incredible beauty!
This film was also Connery's debut film. After such a stunning first appearance, Connery officially entered the entertainment industry and quickly took on many film roles thanks to the fame he gained from this film.
then……
That's it!
She went on to act in a wide variety of films and roles.
Horror, suspense, fantasy, fairy tale, romance, action...
A resilient female student, a young girl searching for love, a little girl chasing her dreams, a dashing female detective, a graceful ballerina ghost...
It can be said that from his debut in 1984 to the early 90s, Connery tried every genre he could and sought every way to take himself to the next level, but unfortunately, he failed in every single one of them!
None of the films she starred in after that were successful, and many people have started to say that she "has grown up ugly," losing the liveliness and stunning beauty she had at the age of 14.
In short, Connery's path in the entertainment industry is becoming increasingly narrow and difficult, and she is almost driven crazy!
An absolutely perfect start, yet it's being brutally beaten into a complete mess!
Of course, this is not Connery's fault. Hollywood is a place where there are many actresses who are good-looking and have amazing figures but never become famous, and there are also those who flash by like shooting stars and then disappear.
Sometimes, it has nothing to do with ability, attitude, or personality; it's all about luck!
Take Connery, for example. She was undeniably hardworking, but she always seemed to lack a bit of luck.
Her current state of hovering in the third or fourth tier of the industry will likely continue into the 21st century. It wasn't until the beginning of the century that she encountered the film that truly turned her life around, propelling her into the ranks of second-tier actresses and gaining a certain level of recognition worldwide, that she finally began to see a slight turnaround.
Before that, she'll have to remain obscure for another four or five years!
Connery is already 26 years old this year, and her time is running out. Although Hollywood will become more and more tolerant of women in the future, even to the point that you can still play the leading lady even if you're pooping in bed!
But in Hollywood of this era, actresses over 35 years old would basically find themselves with no roles to play!
Just look at the movies she's made in the last two years, and you'll know how anxious she is!
In "The Passion of the Wind," which broke all her previous boundaries, Connery even had a same-sex love story in "School Rumble," and in "Mulholland Jump," she directly played a corpse.
Unfortunately, this relentless pushing of boundaries didn't earn her any praise or recognition.
She gained nothing, whether in business or in awards.
Looking back on his 12-year career, Connery realizes that his most outstanding role is still that innocent little girl in "Once Upon a Time in America"!
That's why she listened to her agent and bought a front-row ticket for the Lakers, sitting behind Jordan, waiting for an opportunity.
If she could have something happen with Jordan, at least make everyone think that something had happened between them, she could at least make the front page a few times. Maybe, she could even get noticed by a director and get another chance.
After all, if they don't fight for it now, Connery might really disappear from the public eye forever!
However, she really doesn't understand basketball, and has hardly ever watched basketball, otherwise she wouldn't have failed to recognize Magic Johnson!
Lin Tian even thought that, most likely, this girl only knew Jordan, and that she knew Rodman probably only because she bought a newspaper before coming here... Lin Tian saw the newspaper in her hand, and the headline on the front page was about Rodman's scandalous news!
"My name is Lin. I'm not an actor, I'm an athlete. I'm a player for the Chicago Bulls, but I'm temporarily suspended!" Lin Tian glanced at the Magic Johnson sitting there panting, and finally made up his mind!
Screw Magic Johnson! I can become the best point guard on my own, without relying on your skills!
Right now, there's a poor young lady who's having a tough time in her career and needs my help and comfort!
I, Lord Lin, will not shirk my duty!
