Ryan Murphy in Netflix episode "Hollywood"​

Ryan Murphy, a gay gay publicly released in Hollywood, has produced highly acclaimed works such as "Happy Choir", "American Horror Story", "American Crime Story", etc. He thinks his Hollywood road is lucky, but history People who are more talented than him have never had such an opportunity, "I think the saddest thing in the world is the unrecognized potential. At the Oscars in the play, they get what they want, but everyone knows that they never Unsuccessful, many people are still unknown, this contrast is terrifying. "

In the "Hollywood" plot, the film company (fictional ace film company) that chose the black actress as the heroine will be surrounded by people, and the entrance of the black actress's residence will be burned by the cross. But in this episode, people do n’t like it at most because they are beaten with low scores and complain on social media.
