Hollywood Domination Chapter 122: A little crazy

"Sorry, do I know you?" The blond hair was tied back into a bun, wearing a silk shirt and skirt, exuding the temperament of a lady, with a haughty and indifferent expression, Nora turned around, suspicious and wary Looking at Roger.

The passengers in the elevator also looked at Roger strangely, and Roger took a step back, showing an embarrassed expression, "I'm sorry, I must have misidentified the person—Ms—"

"It's Mrs," Nora said, Roger's eyes obviously fell on her hand, the cameraman raised his feet, the camera dropped, Zoomin found Nora's fingers, and the other camera kept focusing on Nora Her face followed Roger's and her eyes fell on her hands.

As soon as Nora grasped the revealing left hand, she gave Roger a look in embarrassment, her eyebrows gathered quickly for a while, and then loosened again, she lifted her chin and insisted, "Mrs—"

After Mrs, the surname should be added. Nora showed a thoughtful expression, she seemed a little dizzy, and she shook before answering, "Nara, Mrs Nora."

Accompanied by a bang and a slight shake, the elevator doors opened, and the passengers got out of the elevator, but Nora did not move, but leaned on the elevator wall, closed her eyes and stabilized herself in pain. Roger cared Taking a step forward on the ground, he raised his hand to touch her, but looked at his own hand, and felt apprehensive, and took a step back with a complicated expression. Nora quickly returned to normal, glared at him fiercely, and gave up. He got up and walked out of the elevator swayingly.

"Cut, Good!" David Finch shouted with satisfaction, "Christopher, you're in good shape, we'll take another shot later to show some close-ups of your expression. Jennifer, you performed very well , but I need you to be more calm. You were a little too nervous just now. Nora is not Ginny. She is very educated. Correspondingly, Roger should be more anxious. Your expression should be enough to arouse Nora's attention. Only by being vigilant can we transition to the subsequent confrontation.”

He looked at his watch, "Take a break for ten minutes, Christopher, come and have some refreshments."

"David, you can't fatten me up in a short period of time," Christopher reluctantly walked away with David, "My metabolism is very strong, and the makeup team also said that I am obese It is not easy to do special effects makeup..."

"But with less special effects makeup, your expression will be more vivid. I really mind the silicone on your lower cheek..." David insisted, and then greeted Jennifer friendly, "Jennifer, come and take a rest Come on, eat something, you are so skinny, sometimes I am really worried that you will just fall down and pass out because of low blood sugar."

Compared to the gloomy atmosphere at the beginning, after a week of filming, the atmosphere on the set was much more lively. Although there was no laughter everywhere, but because the filming progressed smoothly, the performance of the two leading actors was exemplary, and the mood of the entire crew They are all quite good. David has also changed from being reticent at the beginning to being approachable now. He even invites the two leading actors to eat some snacks to replenish his energy.

After many years of dieting and low-salt diet, Jenny's taste is very different from that of ordinary people. Most of the dishes with ordinary taste are too sweet or too salty for her, but in order to fight with Finch She agreed with a smile, and walked to the snack area outside the studio with David and Christopher.

David got himself a mug of hot chocolate and a donut slathered with jam, "—don't look at me like that, making a movie is definitely physical work, and every time I leave the studio Hungry, as if I haven't eaten for a few days."

Jennie smiled and took a banana for herself, while Christopher took a hot dog sandwich and a cup of hot chocolate filled with cream. Under David's encouraging eyes, he patted his stomach self-deprecatingly and said, " I hope I can get fat enough to satisfy you before we wrap up."

All three laughed, and David patted Christopher on the shoulder, "Good boy."

"David." A voice called from the direction of the studio. David shrugged at the two with a donut in his mouth, and hurried towards the studio. Jenny took a bite of the banana and found that Christopher was looking at her, so she rolled her eyes, "Why, don't tell me you have some dirty jokes about bananas waiting for me."

But then again, in the past week, Christopher did not come to harass her as Jenny expected. On the contrary, he was terribly quiet, and he seemed to be immersed in the state of listening to David's play. When the two occasionally met in the hotel corridor, he just nodded in silence. So Jenny had a slightly better impression of him than before, her tone was less hostile and more like joking with Christopher.

Christopher shook his head, "I was thinking about how to speak."

"What?" Jenny raised her guard slightly.

"I'm not confident about tomorrow's scene." Christopher hesitated and said, "I want to play with you tonight, but I'm not sure that you will agree to me—I feel that I was called on the set" Cut', it seems to make you feel better.”

If it were said that there are no fools in the entertainment industry, Jenny would blush a little: since the filming started for a week, she has maintained a slight lead, and almost all NGs were contributed by Christopher. Although he can often keep up with David's request in a short period of time after he adjusts, the advantage has always been small, but seeing Christopher silently listening to David's play, she has to admit that she really feels very happy ...

Well, the straightforwardness at that time, now that Christopher said it, she realized that Christopher had always known this, seemed a little naive, Jenny shrugged, "Don't you think you are a little too sensitive? As long as it's for the movie, of course I won't refuse - but it seems that you really know your own personal image."

Christopher stuffed the rest of the hot dog into his mouth, got up and took two more donuts, "I don't know what you're worried about--obviously, you're safe, and you don't have to worry about betraying your loyal, good fiancé, I have given up any plans to 'taste the forbidden fruit'."

He said with a hint of sarcasm, shaking the donut in his hand, the jam dripped on his finger, Christopher licked it rudely, "The world is not fair, if I don't have special effects makeup, you You will be tempted by me just now, but now all you see is a fat man licking his sloppy fingers sadly, what are you worried about? Can't you bear the temptation of this fat man?"

"So you are really determined to gain weight?" Jenny asked in surprise, "Are you sure? Christopher, to be honest, I don't think your special effects makeup has affected your performance that much."

Of course, a big-name actor like Christopher cannot be at the mercy of the director team. Whether the role needs to gain or lose weight will be indicated in the contract. Since he was not asked to gain weight after the makeup test, it means David evaluates that such weight-enhancing prostheses and special effects makeup will not affect his performance. So even if David changed his mind after the filming started, he only tried to persuade him jokingly. The fact is here: Christopher is already performing very well. If he gains weight, the effect will not be much improved. Only a little bit.

"I also think, maybe it's just a 95% and 100% difference," Christopher touched his jaw, "After all, this is a very soft piece of silicone, and it can't be said to be too thick—but, when the opponent is you, This 5% is also very valuable.”

Jenny was stunned, "Really?"

"I'll tell you a secret," Christopher said casually, "you've put a lot of pressure on me, Jenny Jefferson, I've never sacrificed myself so completely to a role—for Keeping up with you, I've tried my best, but it's not enough, so I can't surpass you. If gaining weight can help me do this, then I will gain weight. In order to be the most dazzling character in the film, I will Do anything."

He shrugged, "It's just that it takes a few more days to get rid of the weight after finishing, I don't care."

Of course Jenny knew that any A-lister could not be a slob like Josh, they must strive for excellence, but she was still stunned by Christopher's courage for a few seconds: This is not an easy decision , if it was her...she might not be able to make up her mind. "But you have to know that getting fat and thin is very harmful to the skin condition. Christopher, indeed, the flesh can be thrown off, but you can't get back young when you get old. It's just for 5%, and I told you It’s the same, you have the habit of exercising, and your metabolism is already high, you don’t get fat so easily, maybe the movie will really end when you get fat—”

"What?" Christopher was amused by her instead, "What are you doing, do you sincerely care about me? *?"

Under his mocking tone, how did Jenny continue to speak, she was also a little unhappy, "Oh, do you think so?"

"I really thought so." Christopher turned his face again like a book, he stared at Jenny, and smiled gently, "Thank you, *, but I know what I'm doing."

The two looked at each other in silence for a while, Jenny coughed and looked away, "We should go back and touch up our makeup."

"Jane, remember to set the alarm clock the day after tomorrow. You'll have to go to the airport early in the morning." During dinner, Mary said while eating——Jenny will go back to attend the People's Choice Awards ceremony tomorrow. "Also, I received an email from Chesa today. He said that there are some documents that you need to sign, and he and I will wait for you at the airport."

Because most of the scenes are filmed in the studio, and Jenny is not a person who likes to go out, so a day or two before the filming started, the paparazzi were still wandering around the hotel, and now there are almost no paparazzi. Now she can be regarded as a person with a title. She doesn't stay on the set every day, and often has to go back to Los Angeles to work for Jenny. For example, tomorrow morning, she will return to Los Angeles to interview a second assistant for Jenny, and also handle some trivial matters related to real estate and finance.

"OK." Jenny read tomorrow's script while eating. "But you'd better give me a wake-up call the day after tomorrow."

"Okay." Mary said helplessly, "What are you watching? A script?"

"Well, Christopher will come over for a show later." Jenny said casually, and she looked at Mary's expression, "What's the matter, what do you want to say?"

Mary cleared her throat. "No, no."

"Mary?"

"Okay." Mary said in surrender, "The crew has recently been spreading gossip about you and Christopher, and they all say that the sexual tension between you and Christopher can be cut directly-many people guess that you have already engaged in private .”

Jenny was taken aback, "Really? But we basically don't talk in the crew——"

"It's just their opinion." Mary immediately said loyally, "I don't think so, I know how much you hate Christopher——"

Then she immediately betrayed herself again, "Even if something really happened to you, I will definitely not tell the crew."

There was a knocking sound outside the door, and Christopher asked, "Jenny, are you ready?"

Mary quickly cleaned up her dishes, and stretched out her hand to zip her lips as she walked out. Jenny watched her open the door helplessly, and raised her hand to greet Christopher, "You eat Is it over?"

"No." Christopher raised the plastic bag in his hand. "I'm going to implement a strategy of small meals and multiple meals. We can eat while playing."

"It seems that you are really going to gain weight?" Jenny glanced at the chicken wing bucket in the plastic bag, swallowed quietly: It is common sense that junk food is more beneficial to dieters than fine food allure. "Don't you hire a nutritionist for yourself? Improper weight gain may cause stomach problems."

"Are you sincerely caring about me again?" Christopher sat down across from her. He had already removed his make-up—although he had put on weight for two days, he still looked fit and exquisite. , It doesn't quite match this big bucket of chicken wings.

"Are you going to mock my sincere concern again?" Jenny asked.

"No," Christopher smiled mildly, who was clearly in an easy-to-communicate mode now. "It's just that now that we're in a safer place, I can tell you the real reason—contrary to what you think, I'm an adult with a clear mind and no mental disorders. It's not a whim, quite the opposite. , I am well aware of the hidden dangers you mentioned this afternoon—it’s just that these things are nothing compared to David’s goodwill. When I took this role, I considered gaining weight, but I have been waiting Wei brought it up."

He raised a finger, "First, this news hedge award is good, you know what I mean, the judges like this kind of story very much. Second, big directors like to use obedient actors, do this, It is beneficial for me to receive productions from famous directors in the future, and it is very beneficial for my transformation, so, indeed, it may be unwise to gain weight hastily for a small production, but if you take a long-term view, you will find that this is a Great opportunity."

Jenny didn't know how to reply for a while, Christopher shrugged and said in an understanding tone, "Does it seem sad to toss about David's idea? Maybe so, but Cesare is supportive. My thoughts, I’m almost 30 years old, and I haven’t acted in a big award-winning production of a famous director. You have to think about how to maintain your dominance, don’t you? The competition between male actors seems to be more peaceful than that of female actors. Artistic life Longer...but because of this, it is harder to go one step further than an actress. If I were you, I would not choose to gain weight, and I would do everything possible to maintain my beauty, because this is It represents the length of your artistic life, as long as you are beautiful enough, you will always be able to act, but for male actors..."

He said calmly, "Famous directors always like to use old faces. Leonardo has already controlled the old Martin. Nolan almost fell in love with Christian. From the vision of the award judges, you need not only popularity, box office appeal and even acting skills - you also need to be crazier than them."

Jenny blinked her eyes for a few seconds, "OK? I can't help but say, I'm very..."

She looked for words, "I'm surprised? You also have such a rational side, but what you say makes sense. If you gain weight, it will become a public relations stunt, which will increase your chances of being nominated for an Olympic award. If the reputation rises, then it is very valuable to do so.”

Christopher nodded silently, opened the chicken wing bucket, picked up a wing root and gnawed on it. Jenny also continued to eat her fancy salad that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. The room fell into silence for a while, and after a while, she couldn't help but say again, "But why—I mean, if you... I don't know, if you got serious earlier, maybe my opinion of you It’s not that bad—you know how you act like an overdose fool? Crazy, gibberish... You used to strike me as having a complete lack of respect for the people around you.”

"Really?" Christopher asked with a smile.

Jenny nodded affirmatively, "At least I didn't feel your respect for me—before tonight."

"Do you have to be so serious?" Christopher waved his hand unbearably, "...well, I admit, I am a little self-willed sometimes, but I am young, handsome, rich, and successful in my career. You can imagine what kind of people I usually surround myself with and what they want from me.”

He shrugged, "Just have a meal with me, and they can get what they want, exposure, soaring popularity... Isn't respect a bit too wasteful for these people? But I can assure you , I never force anyone to do what she doesn't want to do, in fact, in order to become the object of my willfulness, it is hard for you to think of what those girls would do."

Jenny rolled her eyes uncontrollably, and a frivolous smile appeared on Christopher's lips. He used a chicken wing bone as a scepter, and pointed at Jenny, "Of course, for those who have what I want, everyone Wei—Cesare—you—I respect you very much.”

After molesting a sentence, he changed his face again, and smiled softly and kindly, "You also deserve my respect, *, you are a very diligent and hardworking girl, and your talent is also amazing... It even made me feel a serious crisis."

This sentence from Christopher—an opponent who made her feel in danger—is no different from the best sweet words to Jenny, her lips can't help but raise, "Should I say thank you?"

"Oh, don't you ask if you have something I want?" Christopher deliberately raised his tone again.

"I think I still have a basic IQ, enough to understand this." Jenny rolled her eyes. "Eat fast, it's late, we don't have much time to waste, 11 o'clock in the evening is my bedtime."

Christopher's expression turned serious, and he swallowed the chicken hastily, "Then let's start, I want to see how you deal with this paragraph, it may stimulate my inspiration..."

He bent down to search for his script, Jenny looked up and watched Christopher rattle the plastic bag, the corners of her lips could not help but curl up: It cannot be denied that after the conversation just now, Christopher It is much more pleasing to the eye, which may be the reason why she has changed her view of him. Although she can only see the back of his head now, she still thinks he is cuter now than Christopher who fired at her violently that day—no need to deny it, Also sexier.

——Well, she said to herself: There is no point in denying it anymore, the chemical reaction between you is indeed very strong... This is not a bad thing, at least, this man is stronger than James Schubert Can whet your appetite.

The author has something to say: I've been waiting for a long time!

I’m so sorry... (ashamed) But I’m really slow in writing emotional scenes... It’s hard to find that smooth feeling...

I hope to return to the mode of 7:30 and 8:30 tomorrow!
