有时需要的只是多一些等待

 In 2011, she is going to cast the role of Lois Lane¹, the Superman’s girl friend in the new superman series. Meanwhile, she is going to act in the film adapted from the noble prize works² On The Road. She is one of the famous leading actresses in Hollywood. Fame and fortune is near at hand.

 

But just several years ago, things were rather different. “what am I going to do? I’m already 30. what kind of life is waiting? What’s the true destination? Hold on or just quit?” she was kind of desperate housewife after turning 30 with little reputation.

 

Before leaving, she made a bet³ on herself. She went to a large scale screen test which required singing, dancing and playing skills. No hope at all she thought so among the 300 competitors. But the moment came and she won the role known as the princess in the Disney’s film Enchanted⁴.

 

Then her day came and got the first career take-off at such an age of 33. Following that, she got three Oscar nominations⁵ and more chances of acting⁶. “No more rents.” She smiled to herself. She is Amy Adams.

 

Amy was born in a not rich family. With her beauty, she was able to be employed as a waitress easily in any famous restaurants or even married a sugar daddy. But she struggled to come all the way to Hollywood with the desire of dancing and acting. Meanwhile she got the chance of acting in a new TV series.

 

This TV series, kind of now Gossip⁷ Girl, was banned by the authority⁸ at that time but Amy’s role similar to Blair was rather attractive. In fact, during her fighting year, she received such bad news for more than once. Life seems to play jokes always. Especially in 2002, after her performance in Catch Me If You Can,she still remained the same. The director Steven Spielberg said” she should have got huge success but noting changed.”

 

Anxious for her future in this field and with few invitations for new roles, Amy was so depressed⁹; what’s more she was going to be 30. It was 10 years already she was in Hollywood. Hesitations¹⁰, doubts and depression seized her then she began to think about leaving. But thanks for her waiting and challenging for the last chance, we don’t lose the talented actress at last.
