showboy

When Christian Taylor, the screenwriter of HBO's popular Six Feet Under, agreed to have British television staff follow him in filming a series about British people working in Hollywood, he realized that his true mission may lie in the glamour and charm of the Las Vegas stage, rather than the harsh world of Hollywood's entertainment industry. Lindy Heyman and her documentary production team first met Christian while filming "Six Feet Under" in Las Vegas. Christian is a smart and young writer/producer, and also a member of the creative team for the series. Without the knowledge of the eavesdropped Christian, Lindy and her production team were able to monitor when executive producer Alan Ball called Christian into his trailer. Bauer told Christian that his contract will not be renewed next season. Ball's explanation is concise and calm, and he believes that Christian may be more suitable for hospitals or legal dramas. In a state of shock and denial, Christian disappeared from the reality recorded on set and by Lindy and her staff. After flying back to Los Angeles to track Christian, British crew members discovered that Christian chose to stay in Las Vegas and rented a room from senior Showboy Erich Miller in the suburbs. Christian did not realize that the news of his dismissal had been recorded, and he decided to fulfill his obligation to this documentary. He told the crew that he would stay in Las Vegas during the summer to study an action film he was creating. Lindy did not blame Christian for his lies, but instead convinced him that Christian's research on "acting" was related to his own personal problems and dreams, rather than any movie script. From dance studios in strip malls to top performing stages in Las Vegas, from Siegfried& From Roy to Uby Goldberg, Lindy's team observed Christian's strange and unstable journey of passion as a Showboy. On the way, he met a group of wild and exciting characters who were the real life and souls of Las Vegas. Sometimes, we wonder if Christian has a mental breakdown. Is it always possible to achieve our dreams? What kind of life crisis will force us to face the reality that changes our lives? After Christie's successful screenwriting of "Under Six Feet", his boss fired him without any reason... With pain and dissatisfaction, persistence and confidence, he flew from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, where he resumed his script research work. On the other hand, by chance, female director Linda overheard that Christie had been fired and went to great lengths to find her and explain her purpose... Christie was very moved after hearing this, so they spent 6 months together in Las Vegas...
