Hollywood Domination Chapter 127: Cesare’s warning
"Tomorrow morning at 9:00, you need to go to the Disney studio to take a makeup photo. I have made an appointment with a beautician and a masseuse for you this afternoon," Mary flipped through the PDA in her hand, "You said before that you will have a wedding with me tonight. Cesare went to Mr. Robert Iger's house to attend their wedding anniversary party."
"Yes." Jenny frowned wearily, listening to Mary's report while walking down from the private jet - Christopher used his private jet to bring Jenny, David and other core crew members back to Los Angeles , Compared to David, who had nothing to do, she and Christopher's assistant were waiting at the gangway. The two got out of the plane and listened to the itinerary report in the same way. "Have you bought the gift yet?"
"Mr. Vijay bought you both presents in the name of the company," said Mary, "and Judy arranged for you an interview with People the day after tomorrow afternoon, which was the cover of The Hollywood Reporter the day after tomorrow. Shooting, if you are free the day after tomorrow afternoon, you can go to Kim's office, or let him go to the big dream, Jim and..."
She glanced in the direction of Christopher and David, "Jim will wait for you at the company."
People are really made out of exercise. Mary is becoming more and more careful in her words now, and Jenny nodded in relief, "I see, the house has been cleaned, right?"
"Of course, you haven't met your second assistant candidate yet," Mary said, "I have contacted you with three final candidates, waiting for your interview..."
"We'll talk about these things later." Seeing several cars approaching, Jenny waved her hand to silence Mary's voice, turned around with a smile, and said goodbye to David Finch affectionately, "David, our studio Goodbye."
After the filming work is over, it does not mean that the work of the crew is completed. There are also post-production dubbing, re-shooting and other work waiting for the actors, so of course there are still many opportunities to meet David. David also smiled kindly, held Jenny's hand, and patted her on the shoulder, "Sure—if you have time, call me, we should talk about the post-editing ideas for "Sally."
As a famous director, David's personality is relatively approachable. Although his films tend to be violent aesthetics in terms of finished products, David himself has the patience to talk about the drama during filming, and his attitude towards the drama itself is very open. I like it. Adjust your own ideas during the discussion, and even come up with some different versions of Take, and then choose the best angle later, and Robert Marshall, who is easy to be nervous when directing a film for the first time, and Gore, who has been avoiding her throughout the filming. Verbinski, as well as David Frankby, who has a relatively closed personality and does not want to communicate too much with actors during filming, can be said to be the happiest time for Jenny to work with Finch. She can also see that Finch She has a good impression and thinks she is very talented. ——She also took advantage of Goldfinger. Usually, everyone thinks that this kind of schizophrenic role is difficult to play, and it is a burden for the actor himself. But Jenny has Goldfinger, and Sally is easy to play. For herself, Sally's difficulty is comparable to Andy's.
"No problem!" How could Jenny give up the opportunity to make friends with the famous director? She smiled brightly, and said a few words to David, "It's a pleasure working with you", and she didn't do anything more Excuse me, let Christopher, who has just finished talking with his assistant, go forward and say goodbye to David—David’s partner has already picked him up at the airport, and Jenny went over to have a chat with her, and David, who has children and daughters, is eager to go home. Get in the car and leave the tarmac first.
David travels in a minimalist way, which is why he has the embarrassment of being unable to replace dirty shoes. This is not the case for Jenny and Christopher. Christopher is okay. Jenny has several boxes of luggage. Several bodyguards and drivers are now Still getting out of the plane, Jenny stood where she was, watching Christopher slowly approaching her, "So——"
She couldn't help grinning: Although she didn't say it clearly, she will go to the Caribbean after staying for more than ten days. Christopher should also start shooting a new movie in a few months. The relationship between the two should be good. It's time to come to an end, last night I was too busy looking for fun, I didn't say anything about this matter, and there was David on the plane, so it's hard to talk about it. Seeing Christopher's hesitation, she felt a little funny instead.
"Don't worry," she said, holding out her hand, "I won't sue Cesare, if that's what you're worried about."
Christopher rolled his eyes and reached out to hold her, "It's like I would be really afraid of him."
Jenny raised her eyebrows, but did not reply to him. She and Christopher looked at each other, as if they both had something to say, but neither of them spoke. After a while, Jenny wanted to withdraw her hand, but Christopher held it tightly Persistence, she wasn't casual—Christopher had a tendency to forcefully try to pull her over.
"Christopher." She shook her head, gave Christopher a stern look, and called out his full name.
Christopher pouted, and reluctantly let go of his hand, "I have your number."
"Of course, I have your number too." Jenny coaxed a child, "Keep in touch—bye."
Her luggage was all in place, and Jenny waved to Christopher, and got into the nanny's car with Mary. Christopher also turned around and continued talking with his assistant and got into his car. After the two cars drove off the tarmac, they parted ways, one headed for Hollywood and the other headed for Malibu.
"There should be no paparazzi on the tarmac." Mary pressed on the partition separating the driver's seat and the passenger seat after getting in the car, "—but I was shocked just now. For a second, I thought Christopher is going to hug you."
"Well, I have to admit that I have the same worry." Jenny shook her head, "He's just like this, bold and doesn't know how to respect others."
"Don't say that." Mary has always been very tolerant towards Christopher, and Jenny thinks it's all because she has also seen "Thrilling Lover", "He finally restrained himself-to be honest, Jane, Don't you feel a little reluctant?"
If he is not very clear about her character and situation, and maybe he is afraid of Cesare, Christopher may be able to handle it. After all, for him, one more scandal and one less scandal Never mind, A-listers like Jenny who are engaged and have always been a sweet girl need to be careful. But Jenny didn't care too much. They had just returned from a small place like Hamilton, and they couldn't find anyone other than each other for a few months—even for Christopher, hooking up with the local civilians would be demeaning and would attract criticism. Two men and women who like each other are together from morning to night every day, and it is normal for them to be reluctant to separate for a while. After returning to Hollywood, surrounded by a group of beauties, within a few days, Christopher still knows who she is? People love the new and dislike the old. If they have eaten everything, they will definitely not miss it so much.
"Then what do you want me to do? Do you take him with you?" She joked, "Put it in a box and go to the Caribbean with me?"
Mary also had nothing to say, she sighed suddenly, "It would be nice if Josh was Christopher—by the way, both he and Claudia are waiting for you to come home at the house."
"Fine," Jenny said, "Am I still going to his premiere?"
"Yes." Mary regained her senses and took out her PDA again. "The premiere is five days away, where did we just talk about? Oh, yes, the second assistant's interview, I'll send you their information..."
After three months of leaving, Jenny's popularity in Hollywood has almost dropped. In addition, she returned to China on Christopher's private plane, and the paparazzi at LAX Airport in Los Angeles could not find her flight information, so when When she returned to the home she had been in for three months, there were no paparazzi stalking and squatting in front of the door, and it also gave Jenny a very precious piece of freedom, allowing her to enjoy the time not being noticed by the paparazzi for the last time-she now understands why the big names Stars like to buy private jets and manors. If paparazzi are watching 365 days a year, she may still get used to this rhythm, but once she has been to a small place like Hamilton to film and enjoy the normal After returning to Hollywood, she immediately felt suffocated, as if her mouth and nose were covered with paper: here, you have to have followers when you go out, you will be chased by cars, and you need to dress up carefully. Compared with the relatively simple life of the crew, Hollywood means complex games, sinister hearts and superficial and noisy entertainment...
However, Hollywood also means a large and comfortable house, convenient living services, and a steaming jacuzzi.
Soaked in the hot water and exhaled a long breath, closing her eyes to expel all the tiredness of the past few months from the bottom of her heart, and expelled Sally from her heart—Jenny could not help but hang a smile on her lips: Although Sally Like Andy, they are both depressive and complex characters, but compared with the almost painful and depressive filming process of "Prada", now recalling "Sally", besides the twisted and dark heart and humanity, she thinks of some more It is something that makes people feel happy, because every time after trying to figure out the role, there will be pleasant sex. Love, so this happiness and "Sally" also form a reflection effect, as long as you think of the movie, you will always remember it. She felt it in her heart, which also allowed her to happily spend the supposedly painful shooting process.
She gathered her spirit without so much effort, she opened her eyes, "Now tell me the names of the candidates for the second assistant."
Going back to Hollywood from Hamilton is like going back to reality from Sally - from the simple world of acting, Jenny feels that she has once again left her field of expertise and become a student again, absorbing business hungrily Various knowledge in the field of planning, planning, and operation, of course, there are countless jobs waiting for her.
That night, she and Cesare attended the party at Robert Iger's house, complimenting his victory—in fact, not long after she went to Hamilton, Michael Ebner announced that he would resign as CEO, but at that time Jenny has no excuse to come back, and feels that it is a bit too hasty to rush to please Robert. Although the CEO position seems to fall to Iger in all likelihood, but before it is a foregone conclusion, Iger may not want to be so high-profile.
Having been a wealthy young lady for a long time, Jenny still understands the psychology of successful people very well. If you are too eager, others will alienate you in their hearts. The more you take yourself seriously, the more they will take you seriously Of course, the speed here must be grasped. Friendly, confident, cheerful, and talkative. In a social circle with no interest relationship, how to gain the favor and support of others depends on these four treasures, especially in the social interaction between men and women. . After all, for her, she hopes that Disney will be willing to play with big dreams in some links that can be strict but loose, instead of becoming Iger's mistress. She knew that she and Iger didn't have a lot of common language, so she simply changed to the wife's route, mainly chatting with Iger's wife Willow, the newly married Catherine, and Amanda who had just graduated from university. Iger's side mainly Let Cesare go to talk—she is also a little curious. According to Mary, Cesare seems to be still single. It seems that Virginia did not succeed in matching him and Amanda.
There is no need to elaborate on how to find topics and how to get together during social gatherings. This kind of daily task of gaining favorability is very boring to do, and the probability of emergencies is also low. After the party, Cesare drove Jenny home because she had been drinking. ——During the drive, he glanced at Jenny from time to time.
"What." Jenny has spent a lot of money tonight, Willow likes to drink a lot, she can't hold a glass in her hand for half a day - this is not the rhythm of hugging her thighs, she drank five or six champagne I just took the plane in the morning, and my stomach was empty. I was a little too drunk when I got in the car, and now I have recovered. "You seem to have something to say."
"You seem to be a little different." Borrowing the red light, Cesare turned sideways and observed her a few more times. "But I can't tell what's different."
Jenny was slightly embarrassed—it was one thing to talk about her private life with her best friend, but another thing to talk about it with Cesare.
However, of course this matter cannot be kept from him, Jenny touched her nose, "It turns out that Chris really didn't mention it to you——"
"Oh." Cesare said, he started the car and passed the green light smoothly, "so—"
"Well, it's just Cannon Friends—of course it can't be anything else." Jenny said, "Basically, it's almost over. Uh, sorry, I forgot to ask you beforehand, it's my fault."
"As long as you think you can handle it, you don't need to tell me about such things every time." Cesare did not express any displeasure, "Of course, if you want to develop a relationship, you must let me know— —Does Josh know about this?"
"Should know, Claudia knows - but I have nothing wrong with Josh, he should have no objection." Jenny said a little defensively, "At least we didn't mention it when we talked on the phone Son."
"Very good." Cesare nodded, "It's time for us to discuss where your marriage with Josh is going. Although you and Christopher are not in a serious relationship, you will maintain your engagement for a long time without holding a wedding. It will also attract gossip, and more importantly, I think you should gradually transform from the image of a 'good girl' - you are already 24 years old this year, and it is unrealistic to continue to have a perfect and dreamy style. A certain limit."
Jenny has a deep feeling for this. When "Sally" was filming the bed scene, David proposed to let Belle be naked at the beginning, but because of Jenny's own image considerations, ratings, and box office After thinking about it, I finally gave up this idea. After all, in the hearts of her fans, she is a good girl who is devout and religious. She just took off her virginity ring not long ago. It is one thing to play a dark role. Bed. Scene That's another story entirely. This kind of controversial choice is usually avoided by A-listers.
"What do you think?" Jenny said, her alcohol had almost faded, "Have you discussed it with Judy?"
"The idea took shape a while ago," Cesare said, "mainly because I wasn't too happy with the quality of the film in "Advance". , if the response of "Moving Forward" is not good, we can put the matter of breaking up with Josh on the agenda, and we can release "Caribbean 2" next year, release it after the filming of "Caribbean 3", and announce it before the release of "Caribbean 3" This matter."
"Well, what if the response to "Advance" is good?" Jenny asked. They had gradually approached her house, and when she saw the lights in the house, she suddenly felt inexplicably reluctant: As a friend, she really liked Josh very much, although she didn't want to play this scene forever, although It wasn't necessary, but she did feel a little guilty about 'conspiring' with Cesare to end the contract.
"That depends." Cesare was silent for a while, "If the response is good, then I want you two to get married next year. After getting married, with Josh's support, you can also challenge Some bolder characters."
"Ah..." This time, Jenny was completely sober from the wine. She looked at Cesare to confirm that he (of course) was not joking, and she couldn't help but hold her forehead. "So do you make me hope that the movie will be successful or not?"
Cesare did not answer, as if to use silence to remind Jenny of the promise she made before, and Jenny—well, her emotions are indeed complicated now, it's like spending money on bungee jumping, although paying At the moment of Qian Qian, I have the consciousness to jump, but when it comes to the moment of jumping, people will always feel a little weak.
The car drove to the gate of Jenny's mansion, surrounded by dark night, no trace of paparazzi, Cesare stopped the car, "I won't go in - don't forget your handbag."
"Oh, good." Jenny grabbed the handbag in a panic, but she grabbed it in the wrong direction, and the contents of the handbag fell down, and her mobile phone just flew onto the gear shifter, and the screen lit up , Cesare picked it up, paused before handing it to Jenny.
"Chris texted you," he said, his voice still.
Jenny snorted: At the party, she turned her mobile phone to silent as a courtesy.
Took the phone and glanced at the screen that was still on, her face was burning red - well, obviously Chris didn't come out that fast - and Nokia should change this kind of display text message content set.
"Uh..." she said.
"I have to remind you." Cesare's tone was still so steady and calm, "Jefferson, no matter what happens between you and Josh, even if you break up, I will not agree with you and Christopher. Make your relationship public, it doesn't affect Christopher much, but it's for your own interests. Of course, it's between you and him whether to continue or not, and I won't interfere, but remember, unless you are sure to get married, you must not There is an exposure day, so until then, keepitlowprofile, keepitincontrol.”
He pursed his lips, "I'm done."
"Oh——Okay." Jenny quickly resumed her tidying action. She hurriedly stuffed everything into her bag, pushed the door and got off the car in a hurry, stood on the porch and watched Cesare's car go away, and then sent a After being dazed for a while, he suddenly came back to his senses, cursed in a low voice, took out his phone, and ruthlessly deleted Christopher's text message.
The author has something to say: Note: keepitlowprofile, keepitincontrol——keep a low profile and keep the situation under control
