Hollywood Domination Chapter 144: Come to an end

After spending a few days vacation with Christopher in Malibu, Chris flew to London to start shooting the new film, and Jenny continued to live in his mansion: Chris generously handed over the mansion's security code and operating system. To Jenny, she can stay here until she fully recovers, and then returns to the set to continue filming.

Of course, because of the sequelae of the concussion, Jenny hardly ever went to the beach—after two accidents, she was dizzy when she heard the sound of the waves, and she almost just stayed in the house and watched TV. She shouldn't even watch TV, but Jenny is recovering well. After taking medicine and assisted treatment, she can walk freely, but occasionally she gets dizzy and can't return to work.

"I suspect that you have a purpose in letting me live in your house." She said angrily to the earphone, staring at Chris's slightly distorted smiling face on the screen, "Are you sure it's safe?"

"Come on, it can't be stolen, can it?" Chris said impatiently, "But anyway, soon it won't matter - in a few months, poor Josh will be abandoned by you , isn't it?"

Jenny grimaced, "Don't think you have a chance if I'm single, it's impossible between us, Romeo."

"But I really miss you, Juliet." Chris moved the camera to let her look at the garden scenery outside the window, "Is it beautiful? This is my house in London, which Bono lent me."

"It looks really beautiful," Jenny also turned the desktop computer's camera, "Look at the waves outside the window, isn't it beautiful? This is a house lent to me by a bastard."

This may also be a strange phenomenon in the entertainment industry. Although one can afford a mansion, the more successful one's career is, the less time one spends in the mansion. For example, Jenny may not live in the house for more than three months this year, so it is normal for good friends to borrow houses from each other, as long as some private areas are locked—like Johnny. Depp once said that he can lend the house to Jenny. This may not be out of politeness and caring. Many times, he also feels that it is a pity that the house he paid for is empty.

Of course, the industry characteristics of actors also determine the variety of their emotional lives. After all, the simplest truth is that unless you fall in love with your assistant, or someone in the family gives up their career, the actor's family must be less together. Many, like Jenny and Chris, are both on the move with each other, and it is actually not easy to maintain a stable relationship. It’s a predestined relationship to be able to develop from Pao. Friends to what they are now—in fact, strictly speaking, they are not Pao. Friends anymore. After all, the last few meetings, including the vacations these days, have no sexual meaning in them ( Mainly for physical reasons).

Won't have nothing to talk about except sex, but not as serious and serious as a lover. There is a tacit understanding and warmth between each other, and no one is under pressure. This kind of relationship makes both parties very comfortable. At least Jenny is very happy every time she receives a call from Chris, and—well, once or twice, she I will also let go of the lingering worry of 'being discovered', pick up the phone and call Chris... Although the phone sex/love that Chris wanted to pursue has never been successful, but indeed, they have developed a habit from time to time. Get in the habit of making a phone call.

"Okay, I have to go to try on makeup." Probably guessed Jenny's concerns, or maybe he was not so serious, Chris has not said any really ambiguous words in the video call for a few days, It's the same today, just jokingly said, "Just don't miss me too much, baby, you know I don't like the way you miss me too much and hurt your spring and autumn."

"It's the same." Jenny said angrily, "I'll give you the exact words."

She closed the dialogue window, rested her chin and thought about Chris's tone, and couldn't help but smile into the air for a while—Mary just came from outside the door, and she wrinkled her nose at Jenny, " You're acting more and more like a girl in love, Jane."

"Don't say such terrible things." Jenny rolled her eyes at her, took the water glass and pills in her hand, "Are there any paparazzi outside our house?"

"The number of people has returned to normal." Mary said, "But we'd better go back to Beverly tomorrow, because we have to go to the hospital for a follow-up visit the day after tomorrow. You know, if the doctor says there is no problem, we have to go back to the crew. , your luggage is still at home."

"No problem." Jenny swallowed the pill, "By the way, did you receive Josh's greeting email?"

Although Josh only came back to meet her once, it doesn't mean that he cared less about Jenny. The two of them have been good friends for several years. With his character, it is impossible to ignore Jenny's injury. It's just that he seems to have made up his mind to really quit the film industry after fulfilling the two contracts of "Pirates of the Caribbean". Then, calculating the time, after the filming of the crew is completed in April or May next year, he can pursue his dream. At most, if the crew needs to call him back for reshoots in the future, and then attend the premiere... In short, since he no longer has an agent, no one can really say that he wants to quit the film industry Dissuade - In fact, even having a broker can't dissuade anything. He himself doesn't want to continue making films, because there are many people who are willing to take his place. After all, this is a very competitive Hollywood. Josh is also a quasi-A-list that everyone admires, not some illegal immigrant black worker who signed a bond.

However, as Josh informed everyone of his decision, a corresponding change is that his relationship with Jenny must end as soon as possible, after all, the contract has already expired. Josh doesn't intend to continue messing around in the industry. If he wants to make a fuss, it's his freedom to disclose the inside story of this relationship to the media after the filming is over. At most, he will pay a few million dollars in compensation according to the confidentiality clause in the contract. ...In short, people no longer intend to continue playing this game, and it's time for 'Jonnifer' to officially disband. After so many years of acting, there is always a satisfactory reason for everyone to break up...

Jenny's injury is a very good starting point for Judy and Cesare: Josh neglected to visit and gave the media a good blow, suggesting that the relationship between the two has weakened. Of course, this is a bit unfair to Josh, after all, he will bear the accusations of some fans, but who told him not to mix in the entertainment industry in the future, Judy naturally knows how to choose between him and Jenny...

However, there are also objective reasons why Josh did not come back: the filming schedule of the crew was indeed very tight. After Jenny was injured, the director allocated her filming time to other actors. Hollywood visited her, and without the two leading actors, the crew really had to stop, which was also unacceptable news for the producers. After all, just for the injury of Hurricane Wilma and Jenny, the production budget directly exceeded nearly ten million dollars. ——But in the previous week, Jenny could still receive Josh's greeting text messages and emails from time to time, and it was not until this week that the two lost contact.

"Yeah... Speaking of this..." Mary's tone hesitated, and under Jenny's puzzled eyes, she quickly raised her hand to confess, "Actually, Josh went to Rhode Island last weekend...it was Crowe Dia told me, we just didn't tell you."

Of course Claudia knew that she was injured, but she didn't come back to visit her. She just made a phone call to greet her, and then kept in touch with Mary, fearing that it would affect Jenny's rest.

"What?" Jenny raised her voice, she was a little dizzy again, "how do you - he - the reporter -"

"It's nothing," Mary said with a reassuring gesture, "They just met once, and Claudia is sure that they weren't being followed and secretly photographed—even if they were, it was just a normal conversation, nothing out of control Place...don't worry, there won't be any intimate photos."

"That's not what I'm worried about." Jenny covered her forehead and shook her head, "Forget it, it has nothing to do with you, no one can control Josh Blanche now—so, Ke Did Claudia reject him?"

"Yes, you know, she originally wanted to ask you to convey it, but since you were injured, she felt that this matter should be resolved by herself and Josh. So she agreed to see Josh, and said to him Clear." Mary said with some regret, "A breakup is a breakup, she didn't leave Josh because he is a Hollywood movie star, and she won't come back to him just because Josh is not a Hollywood movie star. After all, she always wanted to be like Julian She is a top stylist, and opening a coffee shop is not her interest... I have to say, this couple is really a pity.”

"This is Hollywood, no couple can last forever." Jenny almost mechanically recited the words that Cesare used to entertain Enoch Martin - at the CAA's annual reception, the old Martin talked about it regretfully Cesare and Lilian broke up. "So, Josh has fallen into a low mood recently?"

"Well," Mary nodded, "Nicholas told me——"

She gestured, "He suspects that Josh has smoked this."

Jennie returned a suspicious and unbelievable squint, and Mary nodded with a heavy face, "You know, there is no shortage of supplies in the crew, Gore himself sometimes has two mouthfuls, and Johnny... Josh The performance on the set is quite good, you don't need to worry about that..."

"You don't need to worry about your size." Jenny scolded, and covered her head with a headache again, "—calculate the time difference, what time is it in Dominica now? Is Josh on the show now?"

"I don't know," Mary looked at Jenny with some fear, "Jen, you can't get excited now..."

"Fuck." Jenny waved her hand, "Go ask Nicholas—make Nicholas ready to break in—forget it, call Dr. Bonnie for me, I have a follow-up visit tomorrow, follow-up visit After that, we will fly directly to Santo Domingo.”

#

With the help of Andy, Jenny returned to her Beverly Villa without anyone noticing. exercise, don’t get too emotional), boarded a commercial airliner amidst the paparazzi’s barrage of questions, and headed to Santo Domingo to continue her troubled “Pirates” filming trip, and her return was rewarded Warm welcome from the crew members: This time she only needs to cooperate to complete some group scenes that show her face, no fighting scenes, no long-term repeated shooting, at most two or three scenes a day, most of them are one-off... Because she has already completed Almost all the martial arts scenes in the second part, the director team included all the fighting scenes in Jenny's third part in the reshooting schedule, leaving only a relaxing shooting schedule as if on vacation, and meticulous medical care—— Different from just hiring a general practitioner as the crew doctor before, this time, brain specialists are on call at all times on the crew. Whenever Jenny feels a little uncomfortable, a professional medical team will serve her at any time.

"Thank you, Jerry," Jenny smiled and hugged Jerry Bruckheimer, who came to pick her up from the crew, "Thank you very much for the flowers, I'm much better now... Yes, I think I will fully recover when we return to the United States to film literary dramas..."

"The crew would like to thank you, Jenny," Bruckheimer said sincerely, "I know you need to rest, but there is no way, we can't keep the current location forever..."

The reason why Jenny came here in such a hurry after only two weeks of rest is actually because the crew is about to end the location shooting in Dominica. In fact, after shooting these shots, she can still go back to Hollywood to continue to rest. This is always Johnny's film, and she doesn't have so many shots. The director team can easily arrange the schedule so that Jenny can go back to Hollywood to recuperate-or do public relations for the Oscars.

Having a few polite words with Jerry, and then greeting Gore and Johnny, Jenny asked about Josh's room number with a clear goal—many crew members who didn't know the truth also exchanged Interested eyes: From their point of view, the number of times Josh visited the United States is not enough to explain anything, but today he did not come out to greet Jenny when she arrived on the set. It seems that the newspapers and magazines are right. The relationship between the young couple is indeed over. Something went wrong...

"Josh." Jenny didn't care about other people's opinions. She knocked on the door, waited for a while, and then began to kick the door impatiently, "Josh Blanche! Open the door, you idiot, I sit I flew here all day, and drove here from Santo Domingo at night, just to see you one day earlier, open the door!"

"Jane, Jane!" Mary quickly got between her and the door, "The doctor told you not to get too excited—"

She gestured to Nicholas, Nicholas stepped forward and easily hugged Jenny away, then took out a shiny object from his pocket and threw it to Mary.

Mary winked at Jenny triumphantly, and opened the door easily, "—Ta-dah——"

Jenny has indeed spent nearly a day on the road, but it is only 8 o'clock in the evening in Santo Domingo, a time that has nothing to do with sleep, and Josh's room is already dark, The sour smell of marijuana came out undisguisedly. Jenny coughed a few times at the door and turned on the overhead light.

"Okay, very good." She stared at the staggering staff on the sofa, who had already fallen into bliss*, and the brown-haired man twitching on the bed, "Nicholas, please drag them all Get out."

Generally speaking, martial arts are not contaminated with these things, so Nicholas did not have the mentality of a rabbit dying a fox, but he stepped forward very readily, one in each hand, and easily pushed a few marijuana ghosts out of the door, "Back Your own room, guys."

Mary quickly turned off the air conditioner, opened the window, and cleaned up the still burning chimney...Jenny was the most straightforward. She went into the bathroom and put a bucket of cold water, and motioned for Nicholas to join her, and toot the still addicted to hallucinations. The muttering Josh threw it in directly.

Following the sound of splashing water, Josh let out a scream—from just now, he was almost oblivious to the outside world, and he finally reacted to reality, even though his pupils were still very big , There is no focal length to see people. "Hot! God, I'm scalding to death, please help me, Help——Help!"

"This is what it looks like after taking drugs." Jenny said to Mary, and the three of them stood at the door, watching Josh call 'help' to a water pipe. "This is why we should never take drugs in our lives."

"He didn't smoke a few times," Nicholas sniffed the pipe, "I guess the tobacco is too pure this time, everyone has over-smoked, and he is a novice, so the reaction is even bigger-don't look at me, I don't smoke , but my high school was poor.”

"Will something happen to him?" Mary was worried.

"It's fine if you can still talk," Jenny looked at her watch, stepped forward to close the door of the bathroom, and locked it behind her. "You all go back and rest, I'll just wait for him here."

For Nicholas, Josh and Jenny are a real married couple, so he gave them a private space without any resistance, but Mary hesitated, "Jane, you must remember, doctor Say you can't be excited... We are next door, I open the door, we will come over as soon as you yell..."

Jenny gestured OK to her, but she didn't try to be brave, "If necessary, I will call someone."

Not long after Nicholas and Mary left, the hot and humid sea breeze quickly blew away the sour smell in the house. Jenny turned on the air conditioner again, and took out a magazine from Josh's luggage to pass the time. She even took a nap for a while. During this period, Josh had been muttering to himself in the bathroom. If personal feelings were aside, his hallucinations were actually quite entertaining. Guessing from his ravings, he didn't think he was captured by Dominican cannibals and was being killed in a soup pot. To boil is to think that you are Jack in the Titanic, slowly sinking in icy water. —Jenny counted the time, and it wasn't until two hours later that the bathroom fell silent.

After more than half an hour, Josh began to knock on the door, "Jenny, is that you? Jane?"

Jenny walked to the door, "Are you awake?"

"I want to throw up," Josh said weakly, "can you pass me a glass of water? Jen, can you open the door?"

"I can, but I don't want to." Jenny said honestly, "I'm afraid I'll want to pump it when I see your face—but the doctor said, I can't exercise vigorously, and I can't be too emotional."

"Jane..." Josh seemed to hit the door with his head, "I...I'm sorry..."

There was a panicked sound from behind the door, followed by Josh's vomiting and the sound of the shower... After more than ten minutes, Josh knocked on the door again, "Are you still there?" , Jane?"

"I'm still here." Jenny sighed, "I know you're having a hard time now, Josh, and I'm also sorry that I have to bother you at this time and make your mood worse, but I can't help telling You, Josh, it's not just Claudia who is so disappointed in you, I am also in you - I can't describe how disappointed I am in you, Josh, your selfishness and childishness make me sick. You are ugly now It can only make me look down on you even more, believe me, if Claudia knows what you are like now, she will not change her mind, and will only be more grateful that she made the right decision."

Josh made an angry sound behind the door, and he began to shake the doorknob desperately, "Jenny! Let me out——"

"No," Jenny said, "I won't open the door, Josh Branch, you're a selfish, vain, irresponsible, complacent brat, you think you can have it all, you know what the truth is The truth is no one is special, the world is fair to everyone, you're not that lucky, Josh, it's when you and Claudia negotiate a relationship contract - no, it's between you and Claudia Discussing Anna's request not to expose your relationship is already doomed when you tolerate Anna's denial of Claudia's appearance, don't tell me you don't know."

There was a dead silence in the bathroom, and Josh stopped shaking the doorknob.

"You've been using this set to get everything, 'I'm a good guy and I'll sacrifice for you' and you put on this face and everybody's like 'No, Josh, you're a good guy, let's We come to sacrifice for you' - and then you put on an embarrassed look to enjoy your victory, you don't need to pay the price, you can enjoy the fruit. Josh, you are very good-looking, so the world seems to favor you , you think this is the law of the universe, this is your most vicious part - you are a very smart boy, you can understand Claudia's mood, but you just don't want to understand, you are willing to continue like this Go on naive and kind, because the game has always been in your favor." Jenny shook her head, "And now, you put on a hurt face, what are you doing, Josh? If you really can't do without Claudine Ya, you really love her so much, then you wouldn't agree to Anna's conditions in the first place... Josh, Nopainnogain, you've already gained, and now it's time for you to pay the bill, so stop acting like Claudia hurt you, it was the opposite, you hurt her all the time, you used her love for you to manipulate her, you were a real jerk, she was a very courageous girl, and in the end she I'm happy for Claudia to cut off the oppressive relationship between you - she's my friend."

She kicked the door hard, "And you—Josh Branch, I'm very disappointed in you, but it's not because you hurt Claudia—you are all my friends, That's between you - but because you paid so much, you hurt a girl you really love, but you don't value what you traded her for, what did you trade Claudia for ?Wealth, fame, career? You traded her for your chance to appear on the big screen, you love acting, you love being famous, you love these more than you love her! Now what do you want, via da.ma Ruin it all? Do you want to be a total loser, die of an overdose? You want to be the next Robert Downey Jr., go to jail, rehab, prison? Paying for what you enjoy is so hard Accept it, Josh? Tell me, is it so difficult to be responsible for everything you have done?"

It was as if a wounded beast was whining in the bathroom. Josh might be crying, maybe he was growling. No matter what, Jenny was glad that she didn't have to witness it with her own eyes. The picture is always somewhat embarrassing.

"You saved me," she said, and the anger that had roared and lingered in her heart since she knew Josh smoked marijuana slowly faded away. "Twice—the newspaper didn't say it, but they told me, and this time it was you who jumped down to save me first...Josh, I really appreciate you, without you I might have died—twice."

For some reason, she suddenly became agitated, and Jenny said with tears in her eyes, "I think we've been in the same boat, Josh, we've been taking care of each other, I never thought I would ever leave you behind, but —but if you go on like this—I'm gonna leave you, I really have to. This is the first and last time I'm trying to save you, listen to me, no matter how sad you are ——You can’t take drugs, it’s a road that you can’t turn back from the beginning. You can go back to your hometown and open a coffee shop, you can travel around the world, you can do whatever you want—but you can’t go back Go ahead."

She turned the key and unlocked the door, "Tobacco and smoking sets are on the bedside table, no matter what, it's your choice."

There was no movement in the bathroom for a long time, Jenny shook her head, then turned and walked towards the door.

When her hand touched the doorknob, there was a 'squeak' from the direction of the bathroom, and Josh was wet—he was dripping from head to toe—and walked into the bedroom with red eyes.

His hands were still trembling, but his movements were firm. Josh opened the window, threw the tobacco towards the shore, and threw the metal smoking set into the trash can, and then he pressed the call button. "Room service... please take away the garbage bag at the door of room 408."

His voice was hoarse, almost choked at first, but gradually became more and more stable. Jenny stepped aside and opened the door for him. Josh wordlessly put the garbage bag at the door, then turned around and hugged her tightly.

It was a stinky hug, and Jenny was almost suffocated by the smell of marijuana, but she tried her best to provide Josh with a little support—this was all she could offer him now.

"So." After a long time, Josh whispered, "Can you arrange a meeting for me and Cesare?"

"So," Jenny breathed a sigh of relief, she almost didn't support Josh's weight, "you're not going to quit?"

"You sound very happy." Josh said, he tried to joke, but failed, and his tone was soaked in sadness.

"I'm really glad," Jenny said bluntly, "you've lost Claudia, and now you're giving up Hollywood, and you don't have any stable connection with the world anymore...you have Money, boredom and depression—Yeah, trust me, I really don't want to see you in rehab."

"Yeah, I can't give it up, it's the only one I have..." Josh laughed, and he hugged Jenny tightly, the laughter made her dizzy - Josh was almost laughing Howling and crying, "You are right, I love it so much, I gave up Claudia for it, and now I only have it..."

The author has something to say: updated, sorry, a little late, originally planned to write to the previous paragraph, but after a revision, I think it would be better to end this matter by adding the latter paragraph. ——Although it is a single update these days, the number of words is more than 7K, which is not a lot.

In other words, knocking on the wall has stopped, but the electric drill has started... Hey, everyone knows how the decoration is anyway, so I don't need to say more.

Finally, push down my friend's article, old saying, if you are interested, you can read it,
