Hollywood Domination: The third tear X (1)
"Hi."
"Hey." Jenny stopped and greeted James, "Have you had dinner yet?"
James raised the hamburger in his hand at her, "Obviously, I missed the meal, but if you have the chance, don't miss this hamburger, just two streets away, Jim's Kitchen, Double cheese, a lot of pickles, if there is anything worth breaking your fast, it must be this guy.”
"Thank you." Jenny laughed, but what James said did make her feel the emptiness in her stomach—generally speaking, the theater does not include dinner, and after most of the day's rehearsal, her stomach was already rumbling up. "When I don't need to perform on stage, I will definitely enjoy it once."
"You poor actresses." James shrugged habitually, "Relax yourself, now you are acting in a musical, if you are abusing yourself like this at this time, what should you do when you are making a movie Do you want to drink only water?"
Jenny's rehearsals have been relatively smooth these days, but James doesn't come to inspect her rehearsal progress as often as before. The two haven't seen each other for a few days, and it feels like they leave without saying hello. It is an expression of affection for each other, but it is a pity that according to Cesare's timetable, this affection will not have the opportunity to continue to develop. "Maybe my words are disappointing, but in fact, maintaining body shape is a long-term job. You know that the human body is addicted to salt. If you start the diet and eat a good burger, then your cravings for salt and sugar will be reduced. will destroy your ability to keep eating salad, so—"
James plugged his ears and made a grimace, "Just let me be happy and fat, Hell, I'm just a poor theater manager."
Jenny laughed, she wanted to leave, but she still couldn't move, "Dietrich will have a party next Monday, will you go?"
Monday is usually the low point of the box office, and it is also a day for many troupe members to rest.
"Should have gone." James looked at her and grimaced again, "but now that you're going, I'll have to change my mind—you know I'm going to do something inappropriate when I'm drunk thing."
This is the first time they talked about the two kisses at the Christmas party. In fact, Jenny also felt about it, that is, James should regret the two stolen kisses that day. Drunk. So he has been very serious to her these few days, and he doesn't even play cheap anymore. This is all to re-establish the relationship between the two of them and return to the professional category. An elite like him who can become a theater manager at a young age will definitely not allow himself to be led by the nose by the lower body, and then mix professionalism and emotion together to add to the appearance that they all value. unstable factor.
So the emotional world of adults is more complicated. From the beginning, James*-clarification is a joke-talking about the importance of Jenny’s Roxy to him-expressing that he will pursue her in six months-stealing kisses twice, during this period The battle between sensibility and rationality can write a short story. As a bystander who did not drink, Jenny can understand the difficulty of rationality struggling between alcohol and desire after thinking about it, and even understand James’ regret for his performance that day. , she nodded approvingly, and resolved it with ridicule, "Yes, if you do it again, there will probably be rumors circulating in the troupe that I slept with you because I slept with you."
James laughed out loud, "Oh, it's nothing, we all know that in my theater, I have the first-night rights to the actors under my banner."
The two looked at each other and smiled, but they felt less awkward. James asked her with concern, "How are you getting along with your colleagues? I mean, there hasn't been any Bully incident?"
Jenny thought for a while, "There may be some sporadic actions, but not too many, don't worry, there is nothing I can't handle."
"Yeah, your people skills are good," said James, who was clearly back in his 'talk to Jenny a little longer' *and 'you can't mess with your significant other' sanity Seeing back and forth between them, so I was completely absent-minded, thinking about what to say. "I mean, I have a good relationship with Dietrich, but I didn't get an invitation to her Monday party, and she invited you."
It is not the first time that Jenny has witnessed the impact of her beauty on others. It cannot be denied that her vanity has been satisfied to a certain extent, and she also wants to show mercy and let James go, so that he will not continue to be under her influence. 'Torture', but James' words made her heart move.
She can tell that Dietrich and James have a friendly relationship. The body language of their interaction is very intimate. Judging from James' words and his cheap and cute style, he is not the kind of high-ranking theater manager. In the past, Dietrich would call him at parties. It was normal to be invited, and it was abnormal not to be invited. Moreover, Dietrich called her, a new actor who was selected as Roxy only at James's insistence, and she was obviously showing favor to her, so with her ass, Dietrich would also call James together, so the three-way distance If you get closer quickly, you can quickly form a small group.
After years of experience in the group of rich young women, Chen Zhen is very sensitive to these things, she swallowed the farewell she was about to say, "By the way, James, about the day of the third audition, I think Let me ask you, did you specifically tell Dietrich to ignore me so that I would be more psychologically stressed?"
James snorted, "No, but she did a good job, she is a smart girl, she saw my intentions and cooperated - why did you suddenly ask this?"
"I'm just a little concerned about her performance that day," Jenny replied, and she also showed her teeth, "Thank you, now I understand."

After thinking about it, Jenny still went to Dietrich's party.
First, she doesn't believe that Dietrich can do anything earth-shattering at the party. This is a society ruled by law, and the party is at her house, so she will be responsible for anything that happens. Dietrich had only had a brain to know how James would take it out on Jenny if her hurt in her apartment delayed her stage appearance.
Secondly, she also wants to see what Dietrich really wants to do. Solving the problem before going on stage is always better than going on stage and finding out that the costume has been cut. And from Jenny's point of view, Dietrich is playing Velma, and there is no conflict of interest between the two. There may be some misunderstandings between Dietrich and her, and they can be resolved as soon as possible. After all, they are partners, and there is no need to engage in too ugly.
Speaking of it, it can be regarded as a cultural difference. The favorite social entertainment of foreigners must be partying. Although Jenny has no idea what fun it is for a group of people to dress up and chat with wine glasses, she still attends a lot of parties where they chat with wine glasses. Of course, there is a difference between a party and a party. Lilian's New Year's Day party is wearing a small dress and holding a glass of red wine. The party at the Hollywood actor's side is full of beauties in hot pants singing and dancing. A bunch of men and women with excess hormones are hooking up with each other on the dance floor. It's basically a dating platform.
Broadway circles like Dietrich’s have a more artistic atmosphere. Although her apartment in Soho is not big, it is very bohemian. It feels like a totem museum, full of all kinds of mysticism. Tapestries, things like that.
Jenny actually felt that something was wrong in the corridor, and as soon as she entered the room, she immediately realized that she had made a wrong decision.
It stinks.
The whole room is almost full of the smell of marijuana. Jenny can't even breathe. In the dim light, the whole room is full of lazy limbs, and the music is very ethereal... Jenny didn't have to be particularly clever to understand that she was invited to a special kind of party.
Both Chen Zhen and Jenny are not too unfamiliar with drugs. Chen Zhen's ex-husband's family is very strict about this thing, because they often hear about a business partner/friend who is not familiar with them. , the second generation of the family was led to become addicted to drugs by ulterior motives. Usually this kind of story is accompanied by a tragic ending when the family wealth is wiped out. Chen Zhen's father-in-law just uttered harsh words. Once he tried it once and was found out, all his family property would be confiscated, his personal freedom would be lost, and he would never be able to get rid of the surveillance bodyguards wherever he went. So whether it is her or her ex-husband, although they have come into contact with some mysterious people to recommend 'enjoyment drugs' to them, they have never thought of trying it. Old classmates cut off contact.
As for the original owner, Jenny, she went to a public school in a poor school district. She was so poor that she couldn't even raise funds for the drama club. One can imagine the poor quality of the students. The entire school corridor sometimes smells like this, and there are people selling a small portion of it at the school gate, 20 yuan a small plastic bag. When the original owner Jenny went to a party when she was a student, she also took a few puffs on the hookah pipe, but because of the insufficient amount, there was only a slight hallucinogenic effect. After waking up, she felt nauseous and nauseated. The main reason), so that's all, no more in-depth contact. But in this environment, she certainly knows how common this thing is. In fact, in Jenny’s previous school, smoking this is the same as smoking. . Caine, will attract attention.
In the circle of Los Angeles, it is actually the same. The party hookah that Jenny went to after her rebirth is very common. Of course, she would never touch it, but the general environment is like this, and it is impossible to blame others. Just keep your mouth shut, anyway, she doesn't go to many parties anyway, and usually leaves very early. At Rob's Christmas party before, when someone brought this out, she left first and didn't stay to mix it in.
However, this is the first time she has attended such a purely marijuana-themed party. And it's too late to leave now, Jenny has already seen several colleagues, and of course Dietrich, they all saw her too. It is conceivable that if she turns around and leaves immediately, the relationship with these people will definitely drop to freezing point in the future. If these few people spread the word again, then 80% of the whole group (Jenny thinks it may be higher) who have smoked marijuana will think she is a hypocritical bitch, and then it is estimated that there will be a real isolated Bully incident on the set.
"Hey, Dietrich." Jenny thought about it for a while, and greeted Dietrich with a smile on her face, "Thank you for inviting me to the party."
People who have smoked this thing react very slowly. Many yoga masters will smoke this thing before meditation to help themselves enter the state of 'zen meditation'. It took Dietrich two seconds to smile at her. She was holding a cigarette in her hand and hadn't lit it yet. When she saw her coming, she lit the fire and took a deep breath on the hookah in another person's arms, then handed the new cigarette to Jenny, " Hi, you're late."
"I'm not very familiar with this area, I'm a little lost." Jenny said, she pushed away the cigarette Dietrich handed over, "No, no, thank you."
"What?" Dietrich's eyes widened slightly, and her voice raised, "You don't smoke?"
The surrounding guests who had been leisurely and immersed in the happy world all looked over at once, and the colleagues that Jenny knew all showed expressions of "Why are you pretending like this".
"I can't," Jenny said. "You know I'm signed to CAA and my agent is a **** - he makes me do regular drugtests."
If she hadn't thought of this excuse in a blink of an eye, Jenny would rather be bullied than get out of the way, but now she feels that she has the wisdom pearl in her hands, so she wants to get the best of both worlds.
Who knew that when Dietrich and her friends heard this, they all laughed, "Oh, honey, unless you do it tomorrow, it's just marijuana, and it won't be found out in a week."
Fuck, you are a veteran of DrugTest...
Jenny cursed secretly, shook her head and said, "I'm doing a hair inspection. I'm sorry, but I can't take this risk. The agent's policy is very strict. I will be fined 6,000 yuan for one unclean."
She made up a piece of nonsense without opening her mouth, which won the sympathy of most people, but Dietrich still seemed very dissatisfied. She reluctantly pushed the cigarette towards Jenny, "Really?"
Jenny is very suspicious and disgusted with her now. She thought for a while, but she didn't rush to leave. At the last moment, he took it away again, threw the cigarette on the ground, and cursed deliberately and vulgarly, "Shit! I can't-I really can't."
Everyone laughed, and someone said, "Oh, poor little thing."
Dietrich looked unhappy, but Jenny didn't give her room to say, "God, I'm sorry, Dietrich, your rug—you don't move, I'm sorry to spoil your fun, I'll Clean it up, I'll clean it up."
She bent down to pick up the cigarette, stubbed it out, and went to the kitchen to get a damp cloth to wipe the carpet, lest the carpet be baked by the cigarette and cause a fire. This group of people are like cozy fish, reclining on carpets, futons, sofas with great interest, or enjoying with closed eyes, or looking at her curiously and dimly.
After Jenny finished packing, she greeted Dietrich and several colleagues before leaving in a hurry. After walking on the street for a long time, I still felt that sour smell on her body. Suppressing the resentment and nausea in her heart, she called Lilian's phone while walking to the main road to call a car.
"Hey." She said as soon as she picked up the phone, "Listen, Lil, I need your help with something...Did you tell me last time that a classmate of yours came into the lab to do Basic medicine..."
The author has something to say: Note: Drug test is a very important test in the United States. Many jobs require this test before entering the job. Drugs are not only drugs, but also alcohol, prescription drugs, etc., which are all covered. If you test positive, it is unclean, and many jobs will not use you.
There are several kinds of drug tests, such as urine test, blood test, and hair test. If it is a hair test, theoretically, it can be detected when you have been in contact within a few months. However, there is a small knowledge point here. If you have black hair, the drug will remain the most. If you have blond hair or you have bleached it, it will remain less, and the possibility of detection is lower.
Finally, I would like to solemnly tell everyone that Western society believes that marijuana is low in harm. This idea is absolutely wrong. Marijuana is a drug, it will definitely destroy a person, so never try it, not any kind of drug
