Hollywood Domination Chapter 336: The ghost is still there

"The big wedding day is approaching, the mansion has been decorated, and the unmarried couple got married faster than anyone expected."

"Marry with a child? Can Jennifer still film "Code Shero"? Joss Whedon has no comment on this."

"Nine" appeared in the main unit of Cannes and was praised, but the limelight was overshadowed by "Slumdog Millionaire". Cannes Film Critic: The heroine competes with each other, the picture is moving, but the story seems to have no clear core"

""Avatar" held its second audience test a few days ago, Fox is confident in the box office, and the biggest publicity plan for this year is about to start"

"The breath of summer is approaching, "Transformers 2" may be the most watched movie in the world this year"

"Fast and Furious 4" is about to be released, the first family reunion, recasting classics, Universal has full confidence in it, probably because the film is favored and blessed by Jennifer Jefferson"

"Satellite photos of the mansion were exposed, and googleearth showed photos of Jennifer and her fiancé's activities at home. Is this a violation of star power?"

Although many celebrities choose to conceal the news of their marriage or hold their wedding in secret, for the extremely high-profile Jennifer couple, no matter whether they announce the specific plan or not, the media will also be chasing rumors—they are planning for the wedding Afterwards, the reception was arranged on the second day of the catering company, and this news was published on the front page majestically. Perhaps because of this, the public relations of Jennifer and his wife directly chose to announce the official news of the movie: the second weekend in May , the couple will hold an extremely private wedding in this mansion. The witnesses and participants will be relatives and friends for many years, no more than five people. After that, a huge reception will be held in the mansion. The number of attendees is estimated It will exceed 100, and many sensitive people that everyone cares about will also attend, such as Jennifer's ex-boyfriends, and Cesare Vijri's former girlfriend for many years, now married Lilian Svensson, in addition to "Monroe" director Salvi Tucci may not be present in the UK, and almost all the big names who have worked with Jennifer have been invited, and the list is even called the "Hollywood Annual Meeting"—except In addition to these big stars, what is even more rare is that the CEOs of the six major Hollywood studios and even the CEO of the parent company will show their faces, and Disney Group CEO Robert Iger will even participate in the private wedding held before, which also shows that some time ago, The ridiculousness of the rumor that Big Dream and Disney have a bad relationship.

In addition to these celebrities in the entertainment industry, the princes of the Abu Dhabi royal family, politicians on Capitol Hill, and even Ron Perelman, a famous super rich man on the Forbes list, are also rumored guests. Low-key, except for business activities, Jennifer, who almost never goes out to have fun at night, shows her strong connections.

"This is almost a big political show." On Skype, Jon and Charles quickly commented on the gossip from complicated sources on the Internet, "I feel that every detail has its own meaning, which is really intriguing. A: You see, George Clooney claimed that he was invited, but he was unable to attend because he was abroad. This completely confirmed our speculation that his depression must be fake, and his relationship with Jennifer should not be so good. "

"If this is all thought-provoking, how about letting Robert participate in the wedding alone?" Charles asked rhetorically, "Do you believe that her relationship with Robert is really so close?"

"This is the moment when you don't think being a Hollywood star is so good, isn't it?" Jon chuckled, "What about your Arabian prince? Go in? I mean, visit Jennifer's house up close, and even have a few words with her in person—you can't even dream of such a beautiful thing.”

"Nah, no show, he can only bring one person to attend, so unless you expect him to be regarded as **** by everyone, we can only read the news reports and listen to his first-hand reports." Charles posted A sad expression, and a screenshot, "You can also look at this picture and imagine the grand occasion - I have to say, modern technology really makes the earth smaller, doesn't it? You don't even have to leave your house, you You can have a panoramic view of Jennifer's living environment, and maybe even see it more clearly than she herself."

Jon frowned at this picture, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: This is the screenshot of Google Earth that was exposed on the news. , everything is no longer a problem, anyone can locate this house on Google Earth, take a closer look at its layout, and its location in Malibu, which also makes Jennifer's mansion almost impossible. The words made the gossip people even more excited-especially this picture also shows the shot of Jennifer and Cesare walking from the house to the tennis court in tandem, which makes people full of their lives. reverie. Although Google quickly updated the map and erased the characters from the screen, this screenshot still made the news, and the house has become a hotspot for people to check, even with Google Maps Come out, the mountain road that only leads to the mansion should be inaccessible, but now tourists and curious fans can often be seen wandering in front of the door on the map. The most outrageous thing is that some travel agencies have already started similar businesses. They provide online One of the highlights of the Malibu day trip is to bring people to visit Jennifer's mansion outside the door. ——This made some fans very angry, attacking this kind of malicious consumption of celebrities in the forum, but at the same time, the one-day tour activities are developing in full swing, and the reservation pages of travel agencies all show that if you want to take a one-day tour now, It is necessary to make an appointment two weeks in advance, otherwise it will not be arranged at all.

"I just hope that the security work in the manor is good enough." Jon is one of the fans who are very angry about this. She is mainly worried about Jennifer's stalker, "I now understand why many big stars live abroad. Los Angeles is really not safe enough for them."

"Jennifer's house is still pretty safe, unless someone can climb up the cliff, the high-voltage power grid is enough to stop everything." Charles changed the subject, "You saw the latest trailer for "Avatar" Is it? This time makes me look forward to this movie even more, the cgi technology is simply amazing, it is completely on a level, redefining animated movies - I can only hope this is not false advertising, otherwise I will be quite disappointed, Even j.j's movie might score an angry 0..."

"Yes, yes, I understand, the scenery on Pandora is simply—" Jon also became excited, typing faster, "I don't think this is an animated movie, but anyway Say, it definitely redefines special effects, you thought Iron Man was cool? You shut up after seeing the Avatar trailer, didn't you? Especially the levitating mountain, it's cool To the extreme."

"The only regret is that we haven't seen Jennifer in human form yet."

"Maybe there will be no human form. So far, this image has not been flashed in any trailer."

"Is this possible? Impossible, if she didn't even show her face, it's unlikely that she will be invited to act in this movie——"

"You should understand in half a year——if you can get tickets for the preview, then——"

"We have to sign a non-disclosure agreement, and it doesn't seem very likely." Charles continued to send a sad expression, "Sayed is heartbroken because of the news that Jennifer is really going to get married, I think it's possible It is the first time since he was born that he wants to be favored by someone so much, but he has been unable to do so—it is very likely that he will not even have the courage to attend the wedding."

"Well, it's not bad to be an ordinary audience again." Jon opened K's page and glanced at it, and became excited again, "The trailer I posted has been reposted tens of thousands, it seems that people Still looking forward to "Avatar", those stupid movie critics should shut up? What is the next "Beowulf"? It's really stupid. If "Beowulf" is so good, it won't fail at the box office at all ..."

#

"It's a beautiful view, I'm really looking forward to it!" On K, the trailer forwarded by Jon did get a lot of likes very quickly. Many of her friends commented, "Is this Jennifer's new work?"

"This is a fantasy movie, right? Will Jennifer's appearance in it be the same as the movie of the previous era? Or are these two movies basically the same."

"That blue man is Jennifer, right? They look a bit like—is this "Avatar"? Who is the male lead? Oh my god, that suspended mountain is so beautiful, when is it released in December? Why the trailer Didn't make it clear?"

"It's so beautiful, has this trailer been released so far? When it's released, you must remind me to watch it..."

Perhaps for fans like Jon, "Avatar" has been in the news since it was shot. As long as you have a normal sense of news, you should have heard its name and know its release date. But for her classmates and friends, who are not movie fans, and don’t even care about fashion and gossip, their connection with the film industry is sporadic and full of randomness. They are likely to stare at a trailer, but think about other things absent-mindedly, and have no impression of the film itself after watching it, or they may be full of interest in the film because of a certain point, check the basic information and release date, and can’t wait waiting to be released. And because their coincidence with the film market can be said to be relatively accidental, and the connection is limited to one film, after watching it, it is likely that they will never go into the cinema again, nor will they accept the market survey of the film studio—such a group of people The posters and gifts given by the questionnaire are very insensitive, and it is difficult to attract them to spend time. Therefore, this group of people belongs to the random factors of the market, which is difficult to predict and study, and they are the advertising materials such as advertisements and posters placed by the issuing company. Because "follow-up box office depends on word of mouth, first-day box office depends on publicity", the basic box office of a movie's first day is determined by the subject matter, director, actors, etc., which can be predicted through statistical data, and how to expand the basic box office What about increments outside the disk? Then it is necessary to increase the interest of this part of the low-sensitive group through overwhelming publicity, bombing and viral marketing. This is also the reason why Hollywood blockbusters often release a lot of versions of trailers and attach great importance to the production of trailers. Maybe for fans, these multiple versions of trailers will make them feel repetitive and over-promoted, but Since they will go to the cinema to watch it anyway, their feelings will be ignored in the pre-promotion. This kind of publicity is to ensure that as many low-sensitive people as possible have watched the trailer and promote them to go. Probability of going to the cinema.

Before the rise of social networking on the Internet, this kind of publicity was relatively inefficient, and it could even be said to be similar to metaphysics—how many viewers can your overwhelming publicity bring to you? There is no way to effectively obtain the reaction of low-sensitive people to the trailer. Everything can only be determined by the experience and judgment of the person in charge, which is more like a gamble. But in just a few years, everything has changed completely. The hottest concept in Hollywood this year is 'social media big data'. Many companies are contacting Silicon Valley to find or even customize such software. It even made Silicon Valley a little surprised and suspicious. Although this demand has broadened their horizons, the technical difficulty is also daunting. Most importantly, they have long been accustomed to discovering blue oceans—the development model of turning blue oceans into red. Suddenly, a large number of customers come to us with clear development requirements, which is really rare for them.

Of course, for Silicon Valley, it is good news that users can make a clear voice, which saves them the worry period of market research or immersing themselves in development, and Hollywood's unanimous request this time also makes the software The company is sure that they don't have to worry about the future sales of the software. They don't need to know why this demand suddenly arises, and a company in Hollywood even claims to be developing a similar version-although Fox and other companies have all proposed similar software. customization needs, but they will not be so good as to spread it around. After all, this is completely extraneous, and it is very likely to anger the big dream who is cooperating with them during the honeymoon period. Across the mountain, no matter how big the movement in Silicon Valley is, under the non-disclosure agreement, it will not be able to spread to Hollywood until the software development is successful.

And before the software development is successful, or before the big dream shares the technology, the Big Six will not just sit around and wait. The staff are also checking the crowd reactions on k and r through the most stupid manual search method, Distinguish between fans and low-sensitive groups, and determine their views on movie promotion from their impressions—as long as they open their minds, these big companies will naturally find various ways to overcome difficulties. They want to keep a trick secret for a long time. In a mature It is indeed not so realistic in the industry.

"Fox is very happy with the results of the online survey of "Avatar,"" in the nanny's car returning home, Jenny chatted with Cesare and Mary while flipping through her unread emails, "although Reviews from critics remained mediocre, but as I predicted at the time, the response to the film was enthusiastic from audiences—particularly hyposensitive people, who had less exposure to special effects, were more likely to be moved, and more People who are indifferent to directors and leading actors and have no expectations are more able to grasp the core point of marketing: the magnificent scenery of Pandora. As the promotion spreads further, more and more post articles are attracted by the scenery, which also It shows that the current publicity strategy is quite effective, and it has indeed pinpointed the pain points of the audience."

"No wonder Fox has started to promote the high cost of "Avatar" again." Cesare and Jenny still work separately today, and then meet up at the Dream to make a follow-up summary of the company's current projects, and then drive together Go home for dinner," which also made "Avatar" predicted by the box office analysis agency as the blockbuster film most likely to lose money this year-have you seen the news? Almost all data analysis experts are very pessimistic about the profit prospects of this project , Many people even think that Fox and Dameng have gone crazy.”

"Is it the wave of doubts that arose with "Nine"?" Jenny looked over and looked at the laptop on Cesare's lap, who held her shoulders to help her maintain her balance. ——She felt that Mary glanced at them with a strange expression on her face, but she didn't pay much attention to it. After reading a few lines, she said with emotion, "Tsk, how much do these people hate me? It's because they haven't been Are you angry about being invited to the reception—the feeling between the lines is that they can't wait to see me and Dameng fail.”

"It's understandable. For data statistics experts, your existence is an unexplainable supernatural event. All formulas and models will fail on you. Of course, they will look forward to your return to the normal realm," Cesare casually He said, ""Nine" is indeed the first movie that failed to stir up a splash. Coupled with the huge investment and publicity of "Avatar", it is a normal reaction to have doubts about your return on investment ratio."

Jenny is quite helpless about the negative voices from the outside world - her relationship with these professional media has not been very good, mainly because she has set foot in unpopular areas time and time again, and has been questioned time and time again. Then he got slapped in the face with his grades again and again. Since "Pirates of the Caribbean", she has never acted in the expected box office hits, commenting on a good movie, not to mention those attempts in the middle, only last year's "Monroe", the critics' praise is very good High, but because of the subject matter, the forecasts given by the box office forecasting agencies are very conservative. In the end, the results of "Monroe" made these people completely laughable, and this has also made these agencies now one after another. The expected value is even a bit unreasonable. As long as she participates in a film, whether it is a leading role or a supporting role, regardless of the number of roles, if the literary film is not highly rated by film critics and film festivals, then It was failure, the end of her myth.

"Nine" was expected to become such an uncontroversial film. The luxurious lineup made it popular before it was released, and it received a lot of attention. However, its luck was not very good. ’ completely overshadowed the show, and distribution company Weinstein was too careless to expect such a movie to come out of nowhere—and with Nine’s lineup, it’s almost certain to be the darling of the spotlight. , and Weinstein is also deeply confident in its quality, and believes that it can take the word-of-mouth route in Cannes and at least win one or two consolation awards. So they didn't go through a lot of hard work in public relations beforehand, but waited leisurely for the good news.

… Then, came Slumdog Millionaire, which attracted almost all the critics’ enthusiasm for discussion, making “Nine” completely under-appreciated, in Weinstein’s negligence Under the circumstances, there are no heavyweight film critics or film big shots to cheer for it, or even point out other people's viewing ideas, which makes this somewhat esoteric and showy film completely lose the chance to stand out. The first one was ruined, which can be regarded as the misfortune of being at the same time as a phenomenal movie...

So far, Weinstein has not given up and is still holding preview screenings, but this year's Olympic awards have undoubtedly been taken away by "Slumdog Millionaire", which does not have the topicality of the Cannes awards. It will be more difficult to catch up later on. The most important thing is that the mentality of film critics has also changed. After all, this film has no awards in Cannes, and no one discusses it. There must be problems—with this mentality, You won't be able to watch any movie, let alone "Nine" is indeed a stream of consciousness movie that needs to be watched carefully...

After the "wrestling" of this high-anticipated film without warning, although the public still maintains the impression of her box office miracle and Hollywood savior, in these professional media in the industry, "Nine" and "Avatar" has a different meaning, and it is considered to be an important symbol of Jennifer Jefferson's decline. Before that, what kind of commercial movie did Jennifer act in, what kind of commercial movie exploded, and what literary movie did she act in? , any literary film can win an award, "Nine" is likely to be the first film to end this rule: it is not too bad, it is not a bad film, but judging from the performance in Cannes and the tone of domestic film critics , the possibility of this film being shortlisted for the best film is not even too great, let alone the best supporting actress, best actor and best director. In terms of its extremely luxurious lineup of Olympic awards, such performance is The failure proved that Jennifer's film selection vision was not as sharp as before, and it also added risks to her subsequent bold plans, and even the future of "Avatar" became more uncertain because of this - with its investment, the global box office of 1 billion is not enough. It was a failure. If the blessing of Jennifer Jefferson made this tiny probability more believable, then now, even with the support of emerging online feedback statistics, the industry's attitude towards this film is still ambiguous. Unclear, no expectation or optimism at all.

However, it is fortunate that the criticism of Jenny after "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" has not reappeared. After all, she is also a person who has won two actresses. Her acting skills are beyond doubt. I'm also used to her commercial literary approach, and even her achievements as a producer are enough for her to withstand several exaggerated failures, and the relatively lukewarm market response of "Nine" did not shake the six big vs big ones. Meng's determination, this time she herself has learned not to care about the turmoil in the media, and she really has the mood to laugh at the situation-today, the status of her and Dameng is indeed not just one or two news articles The draft can be shaken.

"Do you need to do some public opinion control work?" Mary waited until Jenny finished watching the news and continued to sit upright before asking, "You just starred in this movie to support Rob's friendship, and you didn't have high expectations—— This is also true, isn't it?"

Noticing the change in Jenny's expression, she added, "We can arrange for a third party to speak out in an analytical tone, so that you won't feel like running away."

"...Forget it." Jenny shook her head, "Let the media sing bad news, anyway, the next "Avatar" promotion is not centered on me, so there is no need to worry about it affecting the subsequent movie promotion .”

Marie glanced at Cesare and saw that he had no objection, so she nodded and wrote it down. Jenny couldn't help but shook her head—Marie's high obedience to Cesare had always annoyed her, but in She herself is busy day and night, and when countless business affairs require another person to help her make decisions, she can only choose to turn a blind eye.

"Why did we turn the corner?" Noticing the change in the scenery outside the window, she couldn't help asking curiously, "This is the third day in a row that we have entered through the underground passage—don't tell me that there are still a lot of people gathered at the main entrance." Tourists and fans, it's getting dark."

For the leak of Google Maps, the whole team was annoyed and somewhat accustomed to helplessness. In fact, this is commonplace for stars living in Beverly Hills. Avoid such incidents altogether.

For this kind of thing, the team has no better way, other than buying the whole mountain road and prohibiting traffic (not only expensive, but the progress must be very slow), they can only make no response, and wait for Oscar and The upsurge of the engagement news faded naturally. After all, there is still a certain distance from downtown Los Angeles, and the beaches in Malibu are rarely open to tourists. After all, it is not much fun to drive for an hour to see an iron gate. I believe that in After this follow-up, the number of fans and curious tourists will gradually decrease, at least not as it is now. The whole day is full of people, and as soon as they see a car coming and going, they immediately scream and try to interact.

"It's always good not to take this risk." Approaching the underground driveway of the mansion from another relatively secluded mountain road, Cesare said absently while sliding the mouse, "If we get stuck on the road, you always You can’t solve the problem by bumping into it every time.”

Jenny couldn't help laughing, and Mary smiled too. She moved to the window and said to Jenny, "Maybe it will rain by the sea tonight—ah!"

Although it was short, the exclamation still attracted Jenny's attention. She looked out the car window in Mary's direction, and was also surprised: at the corner of the mountain road, a man stood quietly She was holding a human-shaped poster of Jenny in her hand, with a few words written prominently in red pen on it. Before Jenny could see clearly, the car drove past, but this scene still left a deep impression on her.

"This is—this is—" She turned around, laying on the back of the chair and staring at the man: Although it was impossible for him to know who was sitting in the car because of the all-black film of the nanny's car, they were in the car. What are you doing, but he still turned around, as if he was performing some ritual, and solemnly raised a sign against the rear of the car... "whatthe*? Is this person—"

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that something was wrong—it was fine with Cesare, why did Mary show no surprise? For such a sudden attack, not to mention screaming, she should give some cursing and exclamation, just like her reaction just now——

Squinting her eyes and looking back and forth between Cesare and Marie, Jenny swears directly, "Holy*, you guys already knew?—Is it because of him that you didn't go through the front door before? How long have you been standing at the door? Didn't anyone call the police?"

Now, even Cesare's expression is not so natural, Mary is even more embarrassed by Jenny's anger, she stares at Cesare for help, and Jenny simply gave up interrogating her former manager , looking at Mary gloomily with her hands crossed: doing so is a bit suspected of softening the persimmon, but compared with Cesare, she is indeed easier to break through.

"Okay," Mary finally couldn't resist after a few seconds of silence, she called out, "We did call the police, but in theory, he didn't break the law or trespass on private property, You can't say it's bothering you until you see him—compared to other stalkers—"

"Mary!" Cesare interrupted suddenly with a heavy tone.

"Another stalker?" Jenny raised her voice.

"Oh! Oh--" Mary covered her mouth dramatically, and looked left and right at the two people in the back row. After a while, she slowly squeezed out an exaggerated smile. "Uh, j.j, let me go for a second?—Can you pretend you didn't hear?"

#

"It's unbelievable," Jenny complained loudly as she stepped out of the elevator and quickly walked out of the podium connected to the garage. Say, I thought I knew all about my life and it was all under control, and now you're telling me that you've been hiding something so important from me? Why, Mary, why? Is it in your In my heart, am I too fragile to bear the fact that some perverts are obsessed with me?"

In this matter, Cesare and Mary are in a completely unreasonable attitude. After all, in Jenny's perception, they have already discussed this matter, and the four members of the team have to face it together. The thing is that some small harassing emails were intercepted before, and if Mary didn't tell her, maybe she wouldn't be so angry, but the problem is that the situation is obviously not so simple now, and the stalker even took out It was just a quick glance, but Jenny recognized it: this is the poster used by the intruder, at least, they all used her appearance in "Pirates of the Caribbean". It was this that made her shudder, and her temper almost went out of control in an instant - why did the team choose to hide such an important matter from her? This is closely related to herself, and she has a right to know!

"It's confession time now." Sweeping all the pillows on the sofa to the ground to express her determination and anger, Jenny threw herself onto the seat cushion, crossed her hands, and looked at Marie also gave Cesare a sideways look, "Tell me everything, don't miss a single detail."

To be honest, although she is the core of the team, she is indeed not that intimidating in the team. Although Mary also showed a shocked expression and blinked her eyes quickly, she still did not immediately Instead, she secretly glanced at Cesare, waiting for her instructions, and this also prevented Jenny from avoiding Cesare—she had been focusing on Mary before, but if she continued to maintain this strategy, then Marie would then be aware of the fact that she dared/could/won't/or maybe just couldn't get mad at Cesare.

"It looks like you're the mastermind." She raised her chin, reminding herself that no matter how good Cesare's reason was, she should continue to be angry, because he concealed this matter, which is wrong— —

Like a queen, she gave the order, "speak!"

"copycat." Cesare said, his expression was still very calm, apparently unaffected by Jenny's anger, but Jenny could still detect it from the silence in the car where he chased him out of the garage just now (or Brain supplement) expresses his guilty conscience, "I know what you're afraid of, and that's why I decided to isolate you from this matter - since our scandal started in January, your stalker group seems to be affected As a stimulus, the number of harassing letters we received skyrocketed, and after our residential address was exposed, people began to wait at the door or leave threatening packages. This poster—the main reason for scaring you—is no longer the first It appeared once, and it seems that the thinking patterns of stalkers are all similar, they are all unconsciously imitating the pioneers on this road, and want to leave a deeper impression on you.”

This is not the first time Jenny has heard of this principle. In the previous break-in case, the police repeatedly emphasized that the media should restrain their reports, because this kind of overwhelming report is a kind of alternative propaganda, which will stimulate the imitation psychology of potential people. It may even stimulate the psychology of some stalkers, causing them to escalate their harassment actions, and even engage in some radical behaviors, which will harm Jenny's personal safety. However, even so, when Cesare told her that it was not the first time this poster had appeared again, she still felt sick. At this moment, the surrounding air seemed to be extremely cold, making it difficult to breathe. difficulty.

"But the media didn't expose the photos of the scene," she suppressed her nausea, forcing herself to recall the terrible and chaotic days, "the paparazzi didn't take pictures either, they shouldn't know the existence of this poster——"

"This is also the reason why we did not take further measures." Cesare said, he watched Jenny closely, as if assessing her current emotions, "We hope this will be a clue that leads us to find the The intruder..."

Smell of blood, messy fonts, lifeless cold body - countless messy images struck in an instant, Jenny swallowed, trying to suppress the buzzing in her ears, she said dully, "But, but I Thought he had--didn't you say, in London, those detectives fired a shot--"

"The detective we found did focus on a suspect who returned to the scene, and he did shoot him and knocked him down into the river. It is confirmed that the possibility of him surviving is extremely low." This is still Cesare The first time he talked about the details of the time to Jenny, before that, he had only vaguely said to Jenny, "Maybe you don't need to worry about him in the future", and these words made Jenny even more restless—although Cesare and Mary were very upset. There is no comment here, but she has already realized why they did it: it is of course terrible, and Marie and Cesare, as her friends and companions, will be affected as well, but no one else will be affected more than she. Bigger, after all, was her who the unknown stalker was targeting. "But it was night after all, and they couldn't give a 100% guarantee, and in the years after that, the development of the situation more or less confirmed their point of view: that person did not reappear, there was no revenge, he should have been Dead."

The raised shoulders fell down, Jenny pursed her lips, and no longer maintained her angry posture, but Cesare seemed to have a panoramic view of all these changes, he gave Jenny a meaningful look, stretched out his hand Grab her wrist, "And now we know that he is not dead, and managed to keep in touch with his kind..."

Ignoring Mary's staring eyes, Jenny couldn't help holding Cesare's palm back, and had the urge to snuggle up to him again—a while ago, she was somewhat repelled by physical contact with Cesare , but now—especially now, things have clearly changed.

"This is an opportunity," she tried to calm down, resisting the urge to tremble, and felt Cesare's fingers forcefully clamp her tiger's jaw, conveying the body temperature and his wordless words endlessly. Support, "We can use the opportunity of his resurfacing due to the marriage news to completely solve this trouble..."

Turning her head and looking at the living room that seemed to be empty and unfamiliar again, she silently said 'panic is lost' in her heart, and murmured, "Before that, we must be very, very careful ..."

Perhaps Cesare made some movement, or expressed something with his eyes, Mary suddenly jumped up, said vaguely 'I'm going to answer the phone', and left the living room almost as if fleeing , and the second the door was closed, Cesare grabbed Jenny's shoulders and held her in his arms.

"We'll fix this." He seemed to know what Jenny needed now, and he gave it without hesitation—Jenny suddenly thought of his comfort when she was threatened for the first time, and she vaguely I thought: Maybe he would give me a hug at that time, if someone taught him. "OK? We'll fix this, you're safe, no one can hurt you, and we'll definitely fix this, understand?"

The light seawater salt soaked her hair, and Jenny vaguely realized a little danger, which seemed to be something that shouldn't happen—there was a hint of something they had been avoiding all along, a strong embankment appeared Cracked——

But she can't think about these things now, what she needs is not these things, Jenny took a deep breath, inhaling the taste of Cesare's cologne even deeper into her lungs.

"We'll fix this." She repeated, "Yes, we'll fix this..."
