Hollywood Domination Chapter 139: For love

Although I returned to Los Angeles briefly for a few days, in fact, the crew has been repairing the location in the Caribbean, and these few days are enough time for the crew to contact the studio in the Los Angeles area, so Jenny's vacation - very busy The holiday ended in just a few days. Under the arrangement of the crew, Jenny started the interrupted shooting journey again, but this time the conditions are relatively better. Although she still has to leave Hollywood, the studio is in Los Angeles In the county, at least the accommodation conditions are good, and the local government attaches great importance to the employment opportunities created by the crew, and there are certain preferential policies for electricity consumption. This summer, the entire west coast is short of electricity, and a big city like Los Angeles can only protect it first. Living electricity, if it is in a Hollywood studio, the shooting progress may be slower.

Such an accident also caused some changes in the crew, but this is commonplace. After all, the filming cycle of "Pirate" is very long, and the contracts signed by the members also have different contents. It is very common. Claudia's disappearance did not attract too many people's attention, but it made her colleagues feel very sorry: she is Jennifer's personal makeup artist, and she has worked with Jennifer for the longest time. Jennifer doesn't need special effects makeup, so she has always been in charge of Jennifer's makeup. Now that Claudia is going to study, the makeup artist who replaces her must have a timid time. After all, big names like Jennifer must have their own opinions on how to apply makeup to make the final result look good. If she complains, the position of makeup artist will be in jeopardy.

This is the status of the leading actor in the crew. Jenny is not the absolute leading role at the box office. If it is an ordinary commercial film, such as "Indomitable Action" starring Josh, he can be late. Playing big names, changing scenes randomly... As long as the trouble is not too much, both the director and the producer can only coax him. If the box office makes a profit in the end, they will never worry about not having the next film to shoot. Just like now, Josh's state has been in a downturn for several days, and the number of NGs is several times higher than usual, but since he was not filming with Johnny and Gore, neither the assistant director nor the rest of the leading actors said much What, even Jenny has no clue. She and Gore are currently filming the interior of the prison, and they are not in the same group as Josh——it was only after hearing the gossip from the makeup artist that she knew that Josh's performance was very different in recent days Unusual, it has already attracted the attention of the crew.

Well, to be fair, this isn't all that surprising. Josh was hit twice in one day. First, he told him that it was impossible to get married, and asked him to choose a time to break up. Immediately after Josh returned to his home, he should have been hit by Claudia immediately. Jenny felt that the thing that hit him the hardest was Claudia breaking up with him. After all, when Josh talked to her, he still understood her attitude of not wanting to get married. The assigned homework, after finishing, there will be candies for him. Josh wants to eat candies, but he doesn’t want to do the homework. It’s just that his reason and willpower let him do it. Now that Jenny doesn’t cooperate, it has nothing to do with him, and he is happy not to do it This job is over.

Of course, after Jenny told him the reason why she didn't want to get married, Josh, like Cesare, misunderstood Jenny in the direction of liking Chris. At that time, he kindly persuaded her to stay still. Sincerely, how the two of them broke up will be discussed by Anna and Cesare. But no matter what, Josh and Anna seemed to be in a good mood when they left—for Josh, although there was no candy to eat, he finally didn’t need to do his homework, and he would have one less worry in the near future; If Jenny refuses to agree to a 10 million guarantee, then there is no possibility of cooperation, but this does not mean that she will hate Jenny from now on. If the cooperation fails this time, maybe next time she can match Jenny with a bigger artist in her hands. Josh's own ability to earn money is also good now. After breaking up with Jenny, maybe he can take over the newcomers under her. A good manager will definitely not make a fuss over a marriage contract. The only thing that can move them is The success and failure of the movie, Anna still has this kind of demeanor (this Jenny copied Cesare's comments and speculations).

The reason for such a dramatic change should be that after Josh returned home full of joy, he was beaten in the head by Claudia...As for the specific situation, Jenny didn't ask in detail, but she gave it to him. Claudia opened a generous Bonus to express her gratitude for her excellent service over the past few years, and then asked her about her next plan, and learned that Claudia will go to Rhode Island next month. What about the house? She had already taken a good look at everything and submitted the application for advanced studies, so she didn't continue to ask: It is clear that Claudia's decision was the result of careful consideration, and the turmoil in the nightclub was just the last one that broke the camel's back. It's just a straw.

Whether Josh or Claudia are her friends, Josh will work closely with her until they break up, and Claudia's service also makes her very satisfied, so Jenny is not willing to choose between the two She didn't want to know how ugly this breakup was. Coincidentally, she and Josh have not been in the same scene since the filming started, which is convenient for her to avoid Josh, and the interior scenes are mainly literary dramas. There is only a fight scene between her and Beckett, and in addition, she is in a civilized world... Jenny these days Her sense of happiness was quite high—at least until she knew about Josh's situation.

"Jennifer." When the crew was having lunch in the restaurant, the assistant director Sean sat across from her, "I have to ask you something."

Jenny had already heard about Josh's situation yesterday, and she knew trouble was coming as soon as Sean opened his mouth, "Is it about Josh?"

"Yeah," Sean visibly relieved, "I don't know what's wrong with him, but there's something wrong with that boy - he's wasted two days of everyone's time, honestly, he's self-defeating , if the filming continues according to the current state, I doubt how many shots of him will be included in the feature film.”

Jenny also frowned, "Is it really that serious, Sean?"

"If I'm being very honest, I'd say, He's losing it." Sean lowered his voice, "Don't tell me that Josh has a habit of taking medicine..."

"What? Of course not!" Jenny retorted in surprise, "Sean, you know me and Josh—we've been to a few parties together—"

"Okay," Sean shrugged, "Persuade him, Jenny, I don't want to stab Gore, but Gore definitely wants to see the tape. I will be the only one."

He is an assistant director who only joined in the second film. It is hard to say whether he knows the truth about the contract between her and Josh. Jenny doesn't want to be a big mouth talking around. Of course, she is also a little worried about Josh, "Okay Well, I'll see what I can do to help."

"Can I come in?" Jenny knocked on the door, she waited for a while, then turned the doorknob and pushed the door in, "So, are you still awake?"

Josh leaned on the bed and looked at her expressionlessly, and Jenny closed the door, "What? Don't look at me like that, like I'm your enemy——if you want to hate someone, hate Anna."

When Anna was mentioned, Josh's face twisted, and he buried his face in his palm, "I've already fired her."

"OK..." Jenny carefully sat down not far from him, "I haven't heard the news yet, but—good job?"

"Why do you say that?" Josh raised his face to look at her again, he took a pillow and beat it nervously a few times, and let out a dry laugh, "You already knew, didn't you? She must have told you Already."

"What," Jenny was really puzzled now, "What did she tell me? You mean Claudia?"

Hearing the syllables of Claudia, Josh's shoulders twitched a few times, as if he had been touched by some wound, he took a few deep breaths, "Yeah, Claudia..."

He suddenly sobbed, "Oh, J.J, I don't know what I should do..."

"Hey, baby, don't do this, don't do this." Jenny quickly sat beside him and comforted him. Josh buried herself on her shoulder and cried for a while, saying vaguely, "Claudia has broken up with me, J.J."

"I know." Jenny whispered, "So, you fired Anna—"

"I know she doesn't like Anna, but I didn't expect Anna to have such a big influence on her," Josh slowly regained his composure, and he said while wiping his tears, "I never knew... …God, you know, I used to tell her about Ana all the time - anyway, I fired Ana, but Claudia didn't forgive me, J.J, she's not coming back, I was dumped... ..."

Maybe it is because of the open relationship of Caucasians, Josh does not shy away from crying, and his tears welled up again. Jenny felt a little sad for him when she saw it, "Oh, Josh dear..."

But she can't give Josh any comfort, because based on what she knows about Claudia, the possibility of the two reconciling is infinitely close to zero. Jenny said carefully, "I know breaking up is always very difficult." It's hard, Josh, I really understand how you feel, but you have to face the reality, yes, Claudia is not coming back, but that doesn't mean you can't be friends again, you don't A chance to meet... the point is, you can't give up your whole life because of Claudia, can you? Honey?"

It is difficult for a person who is broken in love to listen to persuasion. After Jenny said so much, all Josh heard was, "——she told you, didn't she? She won't come back, did she tell you, She's totally given up on me, Jenny—"

Jenny broke his hand away forcefully, "Josh, I can't breathe in your arms! - Sit down, wipe away your tears, don't cry, Geez, it's not the end of the world, how old are you this year?" Is this the first time you have been abandoned?"

"Yeah." Josh's answer stunned Jenny for a moment, while he himself flashed his eyelashes innocently with tears, "I've never encountered such a thing before."

Jenny rolled her eyes angrily, "Okay, HANDSOME, now listen to me, Claudia is not coming back - this is not what she told me, but I speculate, if you Use your brain like me, and you will come to the same conclusion as me, Josh, after the accident in the nightclub, it is impossible for her to continue with you, don't you still understand?"

"I—" Josh murmured, showing a thoughtful look, but his emotions were obviously too agitated, so he could only look at Jenny for help, and stammered, "I don't know——"

"Think about it," Jenny said, still feeling a little sorry for Claudia, "Josh, you've been photographed kissing Claudia when we were engaged, Claudia Dia has always been my makeup artist - we've been in a lot of street shoots together. If we, I don't know, got married in 2006 and divorced in 2008, when do you plan to marry Claudia? Have you ever wondered How much pressure will Claudia be under when you make it public?"

She shook her head, "TMZ will definitely publish this photo, don't forget they suppressed this photo only if they think it was just a mistake, you kissed the wrong person - the truth of the matter will make They're at a disadvantage. But what if you and Claudia go public? What's going to stop TMZ from publishing the pics? You're going to be the most notorious **** in America in a day, having an affair right next to me. Of course, it would also make me a fool, an object of public sympathy, not forgetting how much pressure Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been under this year, and they are not only rich and powerful, but also never Don't go the good boy, good girl route, and unless you keep it a secret your whole life, think who the media and fans are going to target the day you and Claudia announce your relationship? Of course it won't be me, Chances are it won't be you, as soon as TMZ releases that photo, everyone's finger will be on Claudia—and you know how stressful that is for a normal person."

Josh obviously never thought of this layer, he sat down next to Jenny, and Jenny looked at him sympathetically, "Indeed, this is ridiculous, a casual kiss can change a person's life, but now it seems It's true, unless you can turn back time, Josh, I don't think Claudia will ever come back to you. She does love you, she can put up with a lot for you, keep it a secret between you, see Watching her boyfriend fall in love with another woman, maybe even she can bear you marrying another person, but I think there is a limit to a person's love, and this kind of future is indeed beyond the scope of her tolerance... ...It's not Anna's problem, Josh, no matter what you do, you can't change the fact that Claudia is gone, and she won't be coming back."

Of course, there is still a very small possibility that TMZ pressed this photo into the small dark room, so that Claudia and Josh can gradually release the news after Josh was single for half a year, and cooperate with Jenny's endorsement to cleanse the photo. Get rid of the shadow of cheating. But according to Jenny's understanding of TMZ, unless Josh becomes a great big shot, or hugs a big shot's thigh, the possibility of this is very slim, just like if the photo of her and Christopher is taken, there is no power to stop TMZ Publicly, unless the president of Time Warner speaks in person - America Online, a subsidiary of Time Warner, is the backstage of TMZ. But why is the president's thigh so huggable? Jenny didn't despise Josh, but with his current ability, the possibility of this way going through is almost zero. Besides, Jenny didn't think that Claudia left Josh just because of this incident, so she didn't mention this possibility.

In any case, for those who are familiar with Hollywood, Jenny's words represent a 99% possibility. Josh's expression gradually turned into horror and despair, but then he had a flash of inspiration.

"Whatif—" he even stood up, "what if I——what if I stop being an actor?"

Jenny gaped, "What?"

"What if I'm not a star?" Josh said excitedly. "If I quit show business, these problems wouldn't be a problem at all, wouldn't they, Jenny? If I wasn't a star, Claudia Can you come back to me?"

"Uh——" Jenny was also left speechless by his unconstrained thinking, "Josh, do you understand what you're talking about?"

"I understand." Josh's eyes lit up, "I have money—J.J, I have tens of millions of dollars in savings, enough to spend my whole life, why can't I retire? After leaving Hollywood, no one Will care about who I am, I can go to Rhode Island to find Claudia, we can leave Hollywood together, go back to my hometown to run a coffee shop—"

Judging from his radiant expression, Josh was completely moved by the idea. He strode around the room as if he had chased Claudia back, waving his hands up and down excitedly, Let Jenny not know what to say at all: she never dreamed that the conversation would take such a strange direction, and her engagement might end with Josh retiring...
