《B面好莱坞》内容简介
好莱坞天天有好戏上演。有人来此追逐梦想,有人在此大获成功,也有人在这里幻灭,甚至死亡……电影从来都不仅仅只是电影,它还与权力、政治、经济、社会、文化、性别、欲望等相勾连,但当灯光熄灭,剩下的就是电影了。
相比起银幕上的光鲜亮丽,本书展现的是好莱坞的另一面,一个为利益(B enefit)、贿赂(Bribe)、鲜血(Blood)、背叛(Betray)、挚爱(Beloved)、身体(Body)、奇观(Bizarrerie)……所笼罩的B面。

A brief introduction to B-Side Hollywood
Hollywood is full of drama every day. Some people come here to chase their dreams, some people achieve great success here, and some people are disillusioned and even die here... Cinema is never just about cinema, it is also about power, politics, economics, society, culture, gender, desire, etc., but when the lights go out, what is left is cinema.
Compared with the glossy on the screen, the book shows another side of Hollywood, a profit (enefit), Bribe (Bribe), Blood (Blood), betrayal (Betray), Beloved (Beloved), Body (Body), Bizarrerie... Shrouded B side.
