Hollywood Domination Chapter 55: The story after the audition

Although three media outlets have published her scandal, but because Jenny and Will did not have any intimate behavior, of course, there are many fans watching the whole process of Will and Jenny's recognition, so this time the scandal is in the The discussion board did not arouse much reaction, but some senior gossip fans have begun to dig deeper into the line between Cesare-Jennifer Bell-Jenny, and Jenny is also on a social network similar to Tianya entertainment gossip in her previous life. Discussion area ONTD. ——She only entered this discussion forum because of Jennifer Bell's reputation. For now, her regional fame does not allow her to gain the attention of ONTD netizens at all.

Except for Will's bitterness about being said to be the object of Jenny's short-lived pleasure in New York, the whole thing basically passed smoothly without causing any waves. The only sequelae are, Under Cesare's interference, the appointment that Jenny owed to Will cannot be fulfilled for the time being: Cesare pointed out that at this cusp, if they are photographed again, the two people's 'romance' may be confirmed , and this is not good news for Jenny who carries out mysticism.

He was right, after these few news articles, the paparazzi surrounding Jenny increased a lot in a few days, and even once or twice, they sneaked near Jenny's apartment, but Jenny's busy and monotonous work Obviously they couldn't get them any interesting material, and the biggest impact of the whole thing on Jenny was that she couldn't go out for morning jogs like she used to.

The audition notice and audition script for "Pirates of the Caribbean" were sent to Jenny in mid-March, and Ann also received a similar letter. The two simply bought air tickets together and asked James for leave together. Jenny said a few words, implying that she must have performed very well at that party to earn an invitation to audition for the leading actress in one night.

Jenny didn't take it seriously, she knew Ann was a little sour, but she couldn't get any real evidence, anyway, she left alone that night, and Gore was still drinking near the bar when she left-she hadn't How about the more than half an hour when Goodnight and Jude Law disappeared together.

Not every audition will have a lot of stories, at least the audition waiting room for "Pirates of the Caribbean" was very calm, and Jenny saw many familiar faces, but unlike the last interview for "Chicago", although these second-tier actresses It is very likely that we have met on many occasions, but in the waiting room, there is no intention of greeting and chatting at all. Instead, we each read scripts and magazines. Although the atmosphere is tense, no one is doing any 'CatFight' in the waiting room. '.

Five minutes before the start of the audition, Keira Knightley, Jenny's biggest rival, hadn't arrived yet, but there were many famous people sitting in the waiting room, and Kerr was the one Jenny could recognize at a glance Sten Dunst, Alisa Dushku, and even Zooey Deschanel, there are seven or eight other candidates, all of whom are young and beautiful, making people look bright Feel.

For now, Dunst, Dushku, and Deschanel are still on the same level. Dunst was born as a child star, and this year there will be a "Spiderman" with an uncertain future. Over the years, Hollywood Only the "Batman" series of superhero films has achieved certain results. Other than that, it is almost dead. Except for Jenny, no one may think that her star road and Dushkube will have a big impact. Advantages, after all, Dushku is also a child actor, starred in "True Lies", and his performance was well received. In "Pretty Girl Cheerleaders" with Dunst in 2000, their roles were almost the same. And obviously, Alisa Dushku is prettier.

As for Deschanel, he is currently only playing a supporting role in a literary film. Although he starred in a small-budget "Love You", it has not yet been released. Knightley, in terms of roles, is not as good as Jenny. Jenny's Roxie needs actress-level acting skills, but she is worse than her in terms of exposure. After all, Keira, who is relatively the worst, has also starred in youth The second female number in a romance film.

This list of starring candidates probably also shows the current allure of "Pirates of the Caribbean"-not to mention the number of actresses, even the first-line girls are not attracted, and the only ones who will compete for this role are those who want to Second-tier and third-tier newcomers who are not too picky about the quality of movies to increase their status.

Of course, this is also a very normal thing. The salary offered by the pirates is not high, and the actor budget is spent on Johnny Depp. Lum played the second male role. For post-actor actors, they came for money to appear in commercial films, and they are generally too old, so they are not suitable for this role. As for first-line girls like Jennifer Bell, what people want is to make films to win awards, even if they star in commercial films, they must have corresponding financial support. If Disney can't afford the money, they will definitely not lower their value to act in it. Besides, this movie made to promote the amusement project of the same name in Disneyland, from the subject matter to the purpose of shooting, and even the choice of actors, is all about the street. Jenny has heard Ann said before that she is not optimistic about this movie Even though she came to audition, it was based on the mentality of earning money and being exposed if she had the opportunity. If you want to ask her how much she values ​​this film, then I can't say it.

"Of course, I appreciate Gore's appreciation of me." Ann shook her head when talking about it on the plane, "But let me say, let Johnny Depp play an eccentric pirate captain? Of course, I know he's a really good actor, and he's good at gothic roles, but I really don't think he's the right type of commercial, I mean, away from Tim Burton, the few times he's tried It's not going well, his face is so blurry in "Intense Chocolate"! Besides, judging from the current script, the plot is messy and complicated, and I doubt what the final effect will be."

This is probably the common mentality of these audition actresses at the moment, so the atmosphere in the waiting room is so relaxed-although I aspire to be a leading actress in an A-level production, but this kind of thing is actually very gambling. If the box office is too bad , the next chance to lead the role is far away. If you have doubts in your heart, then it is not so inevitable for this role.

Actually, to be honest, even Jenny didn't know why "Pirates of the Caribbean" performed so well at the box office. She guessed that even Cesare didn't expect this film to soar into the sky and become a terrible box office harvester. So in terms of nervousness, she should be the most nervous person—the girls at the moment are not bad. The biggest difference between Keira Knightley and Keira Knightley is that they are not British. In addition, apart from Dan Except for Scheer, none of them had black hair.

The audition started quickly, and everyone got about ten minutes of performance time. Jenny was the third to go in. She saw a lot of people behind the audition table, but only Gore and the other two People get their seats, and that's the traditional audition trio—director, producer, screen actors union rep.

The sole purpose of the actor's union representative here is to ensure that the final selection result will not obviously not meet the needs of the role, that is, to ensure that other candidates do not come to accompany the run, but in fact, in such an audition for the heroine, The candidates are all above the standard, and no one will make fun of a large investment, so his role is almost negligible. Jenny looked at Gore and the middle-aged man beside him—Jerry Bruckheimer, the most famous man in Hollywood. A well-known gold medal producer.

I don't know if it was Jenny's illusion, but she felt that Jerry looked at her very coldly.

"Hello, Jenny," Gore said aloud, "Nice to meet you."

"Hello." She quickly focused and smiled charmingly at the audition table, thinking about whether to imitate Marilyn Monroe's superstar demeanor to impress the other party, but she was afraid It aroused Gore's concerns, and after a short consideration, he had no choice but to let it go.

The content of the audition is very simple, read a dialogue, show a British accent, make some expressions for the camera, and Johnny Depp—Jenny was surprised when he walked out of the crowd, in Before that, she hadn't even picked him out from the crowd behind the audition table—right to the scene.

Then the whole audition process came to an end, and Jenny couldn't tell whether she performed well or badly. It was like asking an Olympiad master to do elementary school test questions. She doubted that any actress who auditioned would perform too badly.

After finishing the audition, Jenny left directly—of course, the selection result cannot be announced immediately, and the film crew will call Cesare when the result is out.

Because she hasn't been back to the apartment for a long time, Jenny spends the rest of the day cleaning the floor of the apartment and doing a lot of cleaning. She won't say she's nervous—but she can't help but admit that she really likes to use it when she's nervous. Do housework to relieve the mood. This audition felt a lot like the last audition for "Chicago." It was a group of competent actors vying for a role. Anyone could win. In the end, all you can rely on is luck.

"I don't think the producers like me." She had dinner with Cesare and Lillian at their house that night. "Well, to be honest, I think he hates me. He didn't say anything during the audition. One word."

"This is normal." Lilian said, "Bruckheimer is also the producer of "Pearl Harbor."

"Pearl Harbor" is the film that caused Bell and Cesare to part ways, and it also directly led to the cooperation between Jenny and Cesare. Jenny raised her eyebrows in surprise and turned to Cesare, "You didn't tell me before ——"

"I don't think it makes a lot of sense," Cesare said, "Jerry is a professional enough producer that even if he had a problem with me, I'm sure he could make a wise choice. As long as you Behaved better than most, and he won't mess with the film."

"So, you admit that he hates you because of "Pearl Harbor"?" Jenny narrowed her eyes, "Don't tell me you did other things besides not allowing Bell to take over?"

"I can only say that as a friend, I did what I should do." Cesare said politely, "But Jerry seems to blame the box office Waterloo of "Pearl Harbor" so much that I don't recommend it." Brad plays the leading role."

"Are we talking about Brad Pitt?" Jenny asked, "My God, how many superstars did you bring?"

"We're just friends, and Brad values ​​my opinion." Cesare raised his glass and took a sip, somewhat thoughtful, "But I thought after I said good things about "Pirates" to Johnny , Jerry and I have already shaken hands and made peace, I think the reason why he didn't speak is not because he intends to target you."

"Oh, so you and Johnny Depp are also close friends?" Jenny asked, and then answered herself, "But it's not surprising, you should know all the top names in Hollywood—come on, Now that the auditions are over, and I have done everything I can, if you have any insider information, please pour it out to me."

"Well, if you insist." Cesare ignored Lilian's obvious objection, "Basically, before meeting you, Gore wanted to cast from London, and he always liked to use British actors. , I feel that British actors are cheap and good-he spent a lot of effort to convince Jerry, and he told Jerry that he wanted a dark-haired heroine. But after meeting you, Gore changed his mind, based on my opinion of Jerry As far as Rui knows, Gore's capriciousness will make him a little annoyed. If he even knows Gore's current family situation, then he will think it is more risky to choose you as the heroine. After all, no one wants to be in During the shooting of the film, there was a scandal that the director and the heroine had an affair."

He wanted to go on, but the phone rang, and Cesare got up and left after looking at the screen, "Sorry, this is a call that must be answered."

As he was leaving the table, Lillian leaned over to Jenny and said, "Listen, honey, I think Chesa is obviously trying to encourage growth. He drew you a pie that was too big. If you can't eat it If you arrive, you will be very disappointed—"

Cesare returned to the dining table, Lilian stopped talking, and Jenny raised an eyebrow at Cesare, "Is this a call related to my audition?"

"Aren't you a bit too self-centered?" Cesare asked back.

"Oh, but I just saw Johnny.D's name on your phone's caller ID," said Jenny, who had just performed her reverse reading skills once again. "So when you said 'you don't have to do anything before the audition' you mean I don't have to do anything before the audition and you're going to contact Depp for me and try to get his support? Don't you think if you tell If I were to, would I feel more at ease?"

Cesare sighed, "Whether you can get Johnny's support depends on whether your performance in the audition can satisfy him. What to use?"

Jenny put the spoon back on the table and made a thumping sound, "For example, to increase my sense of participation?"

"OK, OK!" Lilian intervened just in time, "Why don't we have some dessert?"

There was a brief awkward silence at the table as she went to fetch dessert, and then Jenny said, "Sorry, Chesa, I guess I was a little too nervous."

Cesare nodded slightly, "Just now Johnny told me that Gore and Jerry have narrowed the scope down to you and Keira Knightley. Now it's hard to decide between you and her, Gore Jerry thinks you're prettier and better at acting, and Jerry thinks Kayla is genuinely British and good at acting."

"Very good." Jenny did feel her breathing quicken - she was only one step away, and she was only one step away from "Pirates of the Caribbean", the most profitable series in history.

Suddenly, she lost her appetite for the salad in front of her. Jenny pushed away the plate and took a few deep breaths, "So, is this the competition between Gore and Jerry?"

"To keep you engaged," Cesare said, "I've decided to be honest—yes, it's Gore versus Jerry right now, and Jerry's the senior producer and Gore's just Director Xinke, even if Johnny supports you, it's hard to say who will win in the end."

"Okay." Jenny took a few deep breaths again, "Now, we really have nothing to do, right?"

She smiled at Lilian who came over with a dessert ("Honey, I have specially prepared a sugar-free fruit smoothie for you"), took her hand and said to Cesare, "It seems that the only thing that can be done The only thing to do is to be nervous, are you willing to join?"

"Of course I would." Lillian sat down beside her. "Oh dear, your hands are shaking."

She hugged Jenny's shoulder sympathetically, rubbed it up and down twice, and did not bring up her previous objection. "Let me be nervous with you."

Cesare put down the knife and fork, and showed a slightly uncomfortable expression at the scene of "girlfriend love" in front of him.

"If you guys don't mind," he said, "please allow me to make one last call before joining the 'tight trio.'

"Yes, I admit she's better, I've seen her in "CSI" and that episode was brilliant. But you can't deny that she's missing a big-screen job," Jerry Bruckheimer Said, "We have the same beautiful Kayla, Gore, and by your own admission, Kayla is just as beautiful and equally gifted."

"But Kayla isn't as pretty as she is," Gore emphasized, "Kyla's body isn't as good as her, and you know, Kayla was almost late today—I can tell she's not that keen on the movie , she is not even willing to go for breast augmentation for it.”

"It can be arranged." Jerry said without thinking. "If we choose her, if we decide that breast augmentation is the best option, her agent assures me that Kayla will back down."

"But this is a rebellious girl," Gore said. The audition room is completely set up by the agent. Of course, I will use Kayla when we have no better options. Pull it to play this vase of a commercial film that she disdains."

Jerry took a deep breath, he twisted his nose, "Johnny, what's your opinion?"

"Jennifer, I've seen her act." Johnny Depp said briefly, "I like her acting skills, and I think there is a chemical reaction between her and me."

Chemical reactions are not only found between lovers, even if they play mother and son, or enemies, they will have chemical reactions. Convincing the audience, there are countless examples in this regard.

"Fucking chemistry," growled Jerry, "don't think I don't know, Johnny, you're just trying to get back to **** Cesare Vigeri. Kayla or Jennifer for you Words don't matter, I can see that - you came into the audition room today just to make sure Jennifer deserves your support - and I don't see any chemistry between you and her!"

Johnny Depp spread his hands, "Easy, Easy, Jerry, I can't deny that Vijay played the role of threading the needle in this matter, but I have to say, indeed, Kayla is very good, She has an aloofness that sets her apart. But Jennifer isn't bad either, I'm sure you can tell, Jennifer's acting is great, she's pretty, she's dedicated, quiet, and a great partner— Even without Vijay, I would have preferred Jennifer to work with me."

Gore grunted approvingly, and Jerry shot him a look and said in a determined tone, "No, no, Kayla, or Kayla."

"Please! This is totally personal now." Gore rolled his eyes unabashedly, "Jerry, I know you have a grudge against Vijay because of Pearl Harbor—"

"Indeed, I hold a grudge against him, he can't oppose it because it's a 'bad project he doesn't like', and now because he likes "Pirate", he is desperately trying to squeeze people in, which shamelessly directly targets the heroine —For God's sake, that girl has only been in the industry for eight months!" Jerry slammed the script on the table, "Even if it's just to teach him a lesson, I wouldn't use Jennifer Jefferson! "

Gore and Johnny exchanged a look, Gore sighed and Johnny shrugged.

"OK," he said, "Jennifer Jefferson—Out, now, with your permission, Jerry, I'm going to call Shameless Vijay."

He stood up, and Jerry snorted in satisfaction.

Then, the office phone, Jerry's cell phone, Gore's cell phone, and Johnny's cell phone, the four phones rang almost simultaneously, and three completely different cell phone ringtones were accompanied by the monotonous 'ring ring ring' of the indoor phone , formed a weird concerto, the gold medal producer, the big director and the first-line actor looked at each other, and fell into a brief moment of consternation.
