Hollywood Domination: The fifth tear…that what

For Jenny, she can even successfully win Roxy in "Chicago" and Elizabeth in "Pirates of the Caribbean". A "50 First Dates" that she is not so satisfied and like does not make her rise too much In fact, the most important audition point for this kind of romantic comedy is to see if she and Adam have a chemical reaction. If the two are incompatible and can't call, then even if they barely get started, it will be difficult to get this drama. success. If there are sparks between the two, then the most important thing is the issue of treatment. For the acting itself, the film crew and the director will not force too much, especially in "50 First Dates", there is no room for the heroine to play, no matter your seniority It's still deep, and it's not all the same thing. If you can play Elizabeth, you won't have much problem playing the heroine Lucy in this film.

After returning to Los Angeles, Jenny still lives in the hotel for the time being, and plans to wait until the film contract is negotiated before renting a detached house that "qualifies for status". Mianmian took the initiative to relax the loan amount to 1 million, but when the 500,000 is about to bottom out, and the second part of "Pirates of the Caribbean" will not start filming until 2005, she still prefers to wait for her worth to be determined. After signing the contract, we will plan a large amount of expenses.

"Mary, do you think I can convince the director to add another line to the whole script?" After reading the script that was about to be turned over for the Nth time, Jenny and Mary chatted—because they left their hometowns and came to LA with her, Mary is now covered by her, and there will be a room for her in the house in the future. Jenny also uses these disguised benefits to subsidize Mary who is working overtime and with low wages.

Because she completely gave up her dream of being in the entertainment industry, Mary stopped dieting. According to American eating habits, she gained more than 20 pounds in just one year, and now her double chin is almost coming out. , but although this girl looks simple and honest, she is smart enough to act and can hold her breath. She has not resigned after taking such a low salary for so long. On the contrary, she is full of "scheming". Yingying copied a copy, and followed her to read it whenever she had nothing to do, and now she won't be unable to catch up with Jenny's words, "How do you want to add it?"

"I want to add a line in which Lucy gradually improves, so that whether her condition will improve becomes another suspense." Jenny is just some confused thoughts now, but with the deepening of research, she also has more understanding of the film. With some interest and some changes, "50 First Dates" may become a better and more classic movie. "And I want to not only let Lucy return to the same point every day, of course she will continue to return to this day, but can she have a different mood every time? From the perspective of the script, Lu Xi Xi is like a robot, constantly reflecting Henry's changes, but I want Henry and Lucy to both change, so that Lucy is gradually being healed by love, what do you think?"

"I think it's very good." Mary said faithfully, but after thinking about it, she added, "But this has touched the core structure of the script."

"Yes." Jenny sighed, "I don't know if the film studio will agree, but if it doesn't change like this, Lucy will be Henry's foil."

She still has another worry, that is, judging from the script, this is a film that does not have very high requirements for the director. According to Adam's tone, the film studio does not intend to find a big-name director, but Adam Sang Dele's buddy Peter Siegel is directing, and this is his debut novel. If it is a single-line narrative, he should be able to hold such a simple story, but if you want to add more Lucy If there is a narrative line, then I don't know if the director can finish the filming, and I don't know how the film crew will respond to her request. After all, she is still just a newcomer. Although she has a certain popularity and box office, she has not yet reached the point where she can dictate the script.

"Anyway, I still have to give it a try." Jenny still decided, "Tomorrow I will go to CAA to discuss the script with Chesa. You should call Nisha to confirm the time."

"Okay, you're fine tomorrow morning." Mary took out her PDA to confirm, "I'm going to do body maintenance tomorrow afternoon, and Judy has given you time to pick out some sponsored clothes with her and Julian. "

"OK." Jenny said, this trip is relatively easy for her. "If you go to Chesa's tomorrow morning, give it to Judy the morning after tomorrow—Mary, do you think I'm fat?"

In recent months, Jenny has had a lot of meals, parties, and schedules. Even though she has been on a diet, she sometimes inevitably eats some high-calorie foods. Coupled with the lack of opportunities to exercise, she always feels His arms were already a little too round.

"I didn't see it." Mary squeezed her arm and said jokingly, "Compared to me, you will always be too thin."

Jenny ran to the full-length mirror. Looking left and right, she felt that her arms seemed a little round. She immediately decided, "I'd better go to the gym tomorrow afternoon. By the way, remember to ask Judy to give me Recommended nutritionist and fitness trainer—”

"Didn't you say to wait until the performance contract for this film is confirmed?" Mary asked.

Jenny sighed, "Well, everything depends on how much money this Chesa can negotiate."

She jumped up from the sofa, "I'm going to the gym, are you coming, Mary?"

"I don't want to be compared to you." Mary wailed, "Let me go, Jane."

"It was you who said to start exercising, and let me urge you." Jenny said confidently, "Come on, dear——"

"Let me give Mr. Vijay a call, please? I'll be over in five minutes—" Mary struggled.

It turned out that Cesare was not free tomorrow morning, and the appointment was changed the next morning, and Lilian was not on shift, so Jenny simply asked her out and took a large group of people to pick out sponsorship clothes. She felt that she was already very busy. He looks like a star, and he has five or six entourages when he goes in and out. In order to avoid the paparazzi taking indecent photos of blinking eyes, he almost always wears sunglasses when he steps out of the house.

"I think this one suits you, my dear." Lilian is the person who likes to play dress-up games the most. Today, she is like a fish in water. She picked out a white shirt and gestured to Jenny, "Would you like to try it?"

Jenny is still thinking, Julian has already laid down Lilian's hand, "Nah, this is too professional for her."

Lilian held her hand, glared at Julian dramatically, and made a painful expression. Julian also curled his lips exaggeratedly, showing that he didn't care. Jenny almost laughed when she saw it. "What is this, a Queen's War on campus?"

Lilian whispered loudly to Jenny, "I hate him."

"I'll tell you a secret." Julian lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Me too."

Three people laughed afterward, and Julian motioned Lilian to show the white shirt on his body, "I think you are very suitable to wear this shirt, elegant and simple—"

Jenny said, "Just put it in if you like it."

Although it has not been a long time since its rise, the momentum is very strong. In addition, it has always been wearing clothes of first-line brands, and its fashion taste has been praised. Chanel and Armani finally threw an olive branch to Jenny, but her level It has not yet reached the point where these first-line big brands will directly give away clothes and choose them as she pleases. They can't even look through the catalog and have people come to try them on. Compared with the previous situation where she couldn't even get big-name sponsorship, her level has improved rapidly in a few months.

"No need." Lilian shook her head with a smile, "I'm one size bigger than you, it's too conspicuous."

Celebrity friends can often get some luxury gifts, and it is even more convenient in this kind of sponsorship situation. Jenny chooses an extra shirt and gives it to Lilian directly, and no one will say anything , it is impossible for Chanel to notice such small things. There are also some coats, handbags, and shoes that cannot be worn and used after being worn several times. In fact, they are all the same as brand new. The person who wears. Jenny's social circle is relatively conservative and closed. If she is the type who likes to go to nightclubs or likes to socialize, there is a special kind of star friend in Hollywood, whose status is between a friend and a follower. Together you enjoy these privileges and luxuries of hospitality.

As for Jenny, her clothes are still gathering dust for the time being, and it's not that Lilian doesn't want to take them—no woman doesn't like free hospitality, but she and Jenny have the wrong size, and the shoe size is also wrong, just take Needless to say, after a few bags, Mary now has a lot of headaches for the increasing number of luxury clothes. The hotel wardrobe can no longer fit. If she wants to rent a house, she decides to transform the entire room into a her cloakroom.

Mary also compared the white shirt, and sighed and pinched the fat on her face. "Well, I'm now motivated to lose weight."

Jenny grinned, "When you can wear No. 2, I will give you this white shirt."

"Are you sure the counter will still be selling it?" Julian asked. "Is this a blank check?"

"I think we can go to the Outlets to look for it." Jenny said smartly. "What I'm afraid of is that until the Outlets are sold out, the remaining money will not be reduced by Mary."

Everyone laughed, even the clerk who accompanied him couldn't help laughing, the atmosphere was quite relaxed and happy. Jenny began to bow her head again to pick out this season's new clothes, and then Judy touched her on the shoulder.

"Bell," she whispered.

When Jenny straightened up, Jennifer Bell opened her arms with a smile and walked towards Lilian, "Li'er dear."

Lilian also showed a polite smile, "Jennifer, long time no see."

The two made an intimate face-to-face ceremony, and Jennifer Bell greeted Judy and Julian again, and then brushed her smooth blonde hair, "Ah, another Jennifer."

The two blond beauties with similar shapes hugged each other affectionately, "It's nice to meet you, Miss Bell."

"Just call me Jennifer." Bell said with a smile, she looked radiant, "I thought you would stay in New York for a while-congratulations on your Tony Award."

"Thank you." Jenny smiled back, "Congratulations on winning the Teen Choice Award again."

This is an award that reflects popularity. Bell has won it twice since her debut. This is also one of her biggest reasons for entering the A-list: a strong appeal to young audiences.

"That was all last year, and I think next year I will definitely not be able to win this award anyway," Bell said, "This award is completely prepared for your Elizabeth."

"I believe that after "Underworld" is released, it will definitely not be Elizabeth's turn." Jenny was very polite to her.

Bell's smile deepened, "I hope "Underworld" can borrow the limelight of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and get a good first week. I can't think of so many other things for the time being."

In Jenny's imagination, Jennifer Bell should be a bit more **** than she is now, but even if she is really a bitch, she does a good job on the surface. Stay rusty and it's also hard to end a conversation without being rude.

"There's no question about it," she said politely. "I think it's going to be an absolute classic, and I have a lot of confidence in that—Judy, I think that's all for today."

Judy handed a few dresses to the clerk to check in, while coming over to enthusiastically join the conversation, "I saw you at Dior night last week, you and Georgia, you were gorgeous that night."

"If you tell Zoe this sentence, she will fly with joy, of course you can't say that in front of Julian." Bell looked at Julian jokingly, "Really, Julian? "

Julian snorted and said sourly, "Actually, I don't have much opinion on Zoe."

Everyone laughed, and Bell turned to Lilian again, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, Lil, we should find a time to have lunch together, do you think it's okay at noon today?"

"Sorry, I'm going to work soon." Lilian said apologetically.

"Jennifer?"

"I have a business lunch later," Jenny said quickly, "Next time, maybe we should switch numbers."

"Oh, yes, "50 First Dates" or "Meet Polly"?" Bell asked understandingly while holding his mobile phone, "If I didn't want to shoot "Van Helsing", maybe I would take the next one too , both scripts are very interesting."

Of course Jenny remembers "Van Helsing". As far as her vague memory is concerned, the box office of this film and "Underworld" is not very good. Her smile is more sincere, "I heard that it is a big production, Congratulations."

"To be honest, I thought they would invite you." Bell said with a smile, "I heard from Georgia that the executives of Universal are full of praise for you. You are a rising star. As for me, I am already outdated The old meat."

"You are definitely joking, my dear." Jenny is still very experienced in this kind of hypocritical self-deprecation and mutual flattery, "If you can say old-fashioned words, then Julia What should Roberts do? I think "Van Helsing" should get you into the 20 million club?"

"No, it's definitely not modesty," Bell showed a heart-to-heart expression, she approached and whispered, "Universal's first-choice heroine is indeed you, and they even think you don't need to audition."

Jenny didn't hear this from Cesare at all, but she didn't want to dance to Bell's rhythm, she just raised her eyebrows and asked politely and without interest, "Really?"

"Of course, didn't Cesare tell you?" Bell asked, she tapped her chin, sighed, and shook her head with a smile, "A manager who is too assertive always makes people feel uncomfortable, Really?"

"For the sake of him getting "Pirates of the Caribbean" for me, I can forgive him." Jenny said jokingly.

Bell laughed out loud, "So - out of these two scripts, which one do you decide to take?"

Jenny smiled apologetically without thinking, "I haven't made up my mind yet."

"Really?" Bell repeated Jenny's question in an exaggerated tone. She suddenly crossed her arms and looked at Jenny sharply and coldly, "You don't want to tell me, do you?"

But before Jenny could answer, Bell laughed again, "It's just a joke, both scripts are good, I wish you success, if you have time, we must have dinner together."

Without waiting for anyone to reply, she waved her hand and turned around to join her team, her figure swaying and graceful all the way.

"It's definitely to show off that she received "Van Helsing." Judy whispered in Jenny's ear, "This is Universal's big production next year, and the budget will not be lower than "Pirate". Large investment—but don’t listen to her nonsense just now, Universal’s Georgia is fascinated by her, as long as she asks, she can grab the position of the heroine.”

Although Hollywood claims that casting is fair, that is relative. It is not uncommon for male and female protagonists to be pre-determined or tied to the script. Of course, this is also because Jennifer Bell is indeed popular and capable, so she is treated like this .

"Is it just to show off "Van Helsing"?" Jenny was still a little uncertain about Bell's intention, "Why do I think she really wants to know which script I chose?"

"Is she going to snipe you?" Judy shook her head, "Impossible, Universal has given the green light to "Van Helsing", and the filming will start soon, Bell has no time to shoot other films."

For a masterpiece like "Van Helsing", the filming time is usually about four months. This year, Nebel can only produce one more work.

"Well," Jenny also felt that she was suspicious, "maybe she has the intention of taking revenge on Master Vijay besides showing off "Van Helsing."

"Actually, what she said was the truth." Lilian was very pragmatic on this point, "Sometimes Chiesa's style is too Alpha. He had several big conflicts."

"If it is a lie, it will only make her a laughing stock." Jenny pointed out, "It is scary just because it is the truth."

"Then will you be alienated from Chesa by her?" Lilian blinked at her.

Jennie said with a smile, "Not as long as he can bring me a good movie like "Pirates."

However, she had to admit that she had some misgivings about Cesare: Bell's words, true or false, of course, can't be trusted completely, but it should be true that "Van Helsing" wanted her to participate in the audition, otherwise, as she just said That being said, when Jenny went back to pair up with Cesare, Bell would become a laughing stock. Although she knew that "Van Helsing" might hit the street in the end, it was still an investment of 200 million yuan... Cesare actually didn't even ask her, so he refused?

#

The audition for "50 First Dates" was completed very smoothly. As Jenny expected, there were not many individual auditions this time. She and Adam performed a rival scene without script, and the audition team yelled 'Cut' in satisfaction. Producers, directors, and Screen Actors Guild supervisors were all satisfied, and she couldn't find anything wrong with it even when she watched the footage herself. Under the proper position of the camera, she and Adam look at each other affectionately, and the scene where their lips touch each other is very beautiful. Although Adam is not a handsome guy, he also has a simple charm. In his honest appearance Against the background, Jenny's face is more beautiful, and the two formed a harmonious and eye-catching picture, which also makes people look forward to the next kiss scene.

"For a romantic movie, the most important thing is the kiss scene, and of course the electric current between the two." Director Peter Siegel rubbed his hands happily, "You and Adam are a match made in heaven, Jennifer—I I think we can almost settle down."

He glanced at the producer inquiringly, and the producer also nodded, "You are glamorous in the camera, Jennifer, if everything goes well, you will be our Lucy."

According to the usual practice, the price negotiation session will follow. Columbia will not make an offer to Jenny before passing the audition.

Jenny had already discussed with Cesare about changing the script, and since this matter was her idea, she took the job of persuading the film from Cesare, and she knew that adding a play would make people happy. The feeling that the actor is too arrogant, if it is raised through the agent, may cause the film crew to have a greater misunderstanding.

"Actually—can I treat you three boys to lunch? I have other ideas about the script, and I may need to discuss it before the contract is signed." She smiled and begged with her hands clasped, "Please ?”

Producer Joey exchanged glances with Peter and Adam, "OK?"

At the luncheon, Jenny sold her idea to them, "...if you add this line, the image of Lucy will be more plump, and the audience will have more suspense to see the final scene." ...Of course it might have to be changed a bit at the end, but I think it makes the whole movie a lot brighter."

To her surprise, neither the producer nor Adam was disgusted with her idea, and Peter also initially approved of the idea, "Some changes can be made in the script, of course, this will make the final Editing got complicated, but I thought it would give it a shot."

In Hollywood, the script is the most changing part of the entire film industry process. Now what Jenny gets is far from the final draft. According to the ideas of the producers, actors and directors, the script will be changed at any time until the eve of the release to be fully determined. It's hard to know what the final product will look like without even seeing the final version. When an actor reads the script, the most important thing is to look at the creativity. For a romance film like "50 First Dates", as long as the core idea of ​​amnesia remains unchanged, it will not lose Adam Sandler's support.

"Shouldn't Columbia also hire a script doctor?" Adam said, "You can try to add Jennifer's idea, and we'll see how it works out."

Things went quite smoothly, which put Jenny in a good mood, but when Joey took advantage of the harmonious atmosphere and tried to bargain, "What do you think of the asking price of 4.5 million?", she still smiled and pushed the offending job to Cesare said, "I have to ask my agent, I don't know anything about these."

Joy made a regretful click, and Adam also laughed, "Comeon, Darling, this girl just won a Tony Award, and you want to cut the offer? Even you, this is a bit too naive."

Obviously, Adam, Joey, and Peter are all buddies, and the team should be dominated by Adam. Judging from his attitude, Jenny thinks that it may not be a problem to raise the salary to 6 million. After all, She won a Tony Award, didn't she?

After this lunch, she officially started a short vacation. Apart from waiting for the two parties to reach an agreement on the contract, the only thing she did was to look around and prepare to register with CSULA. Although you can't choose courses at all in the second half of the year, as long as you have a student status, your performance on "The Oprah Show" is not a hype-of course, there is also the eternal fitness, fitness, fitness.

After entering the first ten days of August, "Pirates of the Caribbean" was impacted by new films, and the decline became larger. However, even so, it has already swept 280 million box office in North America. It is foreseeable that before the end of the summer, it will exceed 300 million. Off is no problem. Negotiations on the sequel are underway, the paparazzi gathered near the hotel are gradually dispersing, the enthusiasm about Jennifer Jefferson has begun to fade, and the PRs of both parties have also begun to communicate, preparing to let the relationship between Josh and Jennifer enter the stage of preparation for exposure .

"You'll find that having a boyfriend will do you a lot of good, honey," Judy said on the phone. What makes everything better is that Josh seems to belong to the type who has a lot of worries beforehand and calms down when things come to an end. Now he rarely expresses his doubts about deceiving the public, and it is natural for him to eat with Jenny. a lot.

Thinking about it afterwards, Jenny felt that she should have been vigilant long ago. Good things never last, at least in her case, this law has never failed.

"There is bad news." One morning in mid-August, Cesare called, "We have been sniped——Jennifer Bell snatched your "First Love 50" with an offer of five million. times."

The author has something to say: Note: The script doctor is to invite well-known screenwriters to check and modify the script. A Hollywood project may change more than 10 screenwriters from the time it is creative to the time it is shot. Please ask the script doctor 2 or 3 times.

Sorry for the long wait

I have something to do in the afternoon...
