Hollywood Domination Chapter 176: A new start

"cut!" Gore Verbinski shouted through the microphone, and said energetically, "good!"

There was a burst of cheers on the set. Jenny was wearing a costume, and she and Johnny Depp shook their fists with a smile, "Good job! John."

"You too, j.j." Johnny took off his big hat and fanned himself. "Finally on deadline - I thought it was going to be a few more days."

"Fortunately, the weather has been nice recently." Jenny said from the bottom of her heart, untiing her tight collar, "When I think that I won't have to smell this smell again for a while, I'm so happy that I want to have a drink ——Except for alcohol, there are almost no beverages that can overwhelm the aftertaste in the nasal cavity.”

"Who said no?" Johnny raised his arm and sniffed himself, and then made a disgusted expression, "Ugh, now I have to drink two bottles of wine to forget the smell .”

Jenny was amused by him, "You are already looking for an excuse for your drinking, John."

"What are you talking about?" Josh, who had already removed his make-up and changed into his daily clothes, came over refreshed, "Want to have a drink later?"

"Of course." Johnny said kindly, and walked towards Josh with open arms, "To celebrate the completion, come and hug me, Josh?"

"Forget it." Josh stepped back immediately, "Hurry up and take a shower, the set is full of strange smells from your bodies."

Indeed, even Gore didn't come over to talk to Jenny, but stood at the other end of the field discussing something with the assistant director. When she was in a mood, she didn't want to let herself think about the scene of wearing this dress again in the next year's reshoots: this is also the scariest part of costume action scenes. In order to maintain the costumes, the costumes are usually not washed. For a fashion show, you can also ask the crew to find a few replacements. But costume dramas can’t be helped. The cost of Jenny’s clothes is quite high, and shooting in a tropical environment also means sweating and sweating again and again...

Caucasian people have a heavy body odor, and the whole scene is full of actors who can only wear one set of clothes for many years and shoot repeatedly. By the end of the feature film shooting, Jenny couldn't tell why she suffered from heat stroke. Anyway, she always I started to get a headache when I smelled my costume. What's more, when I came back for reshoots this time, people found that because the weather was too humid, many costumes were slightly moldy——

She has also shot many kinds of films. If you put aside the difficulty of entering the film and only talk about the shooting environment, then the most comfortable filming is "The Devil Wears Prada", which has many costumes and a good shooting environment. Framing is also easy, and shooting time is short. And "Pirates of the Caribbean" gave Jenny a bad impression of action movies. She was easily injured, took a long time to shoot, had many ng times, and had two unlucky injuries. If she had a choice, she would never want to make action movies in the future. Already - although Avatar also has plenty of action, one is always allowed to dream.

"Here." After taking a quick shower and changing into low-key casual clothes, Jenny re-entered the studio. After the second film was completely finished, it was also transformed into a party scene, with many food trucks and beverage trucks pushed forward, and it became a place for the crew to get together. Josh came over from a distance to say hello, and handed her a bottle of beer. "The last bottle of cold beer in a short time - the ice has melted, and they are sending people out to buy it."

"Thank you." Jenny took the beer from Josh, "Oh, yes."

She took out a small jewelry box from her bag, "Here you are, I should have given it to you, but I keep forgetting-this thing has been in my bag for days, I mean , while I was filming, there were tons of people who could have just broken into the trailer and taken it just like that - thankfully they didn't."

"Ah." Josh opened the box and took a look. He threw a peanut into his mouth and put it in his pocket at first, but then seemed to have changed his mind and gave it to Jenny again. "Nah, let's put it here with you."

"Aren't you going to sell it back to Graf?" Jenny asked, "This should earn you a lot of money. After all, this is already a stone with a story."

"Forget it." Josh shook his head, jumped onto a prop box, and pulled Jenny up again, "You can sell it and treat it as the charity foundation I donated to you ——Maybe it can save me some tax.”

His attitude was firm—perhaps because he saw the past as a mistake and didn't want to leave any proof, Jenny shrugged, "Well, maybe I'll pass it on to Claudia , do you have an opinion?"

"No." Josh said, "What do you know? In fact, you should give it to Claudia. I do owe her a ring, which is true."

His mood was inevitably a little low, but it was a few months ago after all, Josh quickly cheered up, touched the bottle with her with a grin, "I guess, this is the end of an era Already."

"I'm really reluctant." Jenny said sincerely, "Although you have never done anything nutritious in my house, it is really uncomfortable to think that there will be no regular visitor in the house in the future. "

"I can still visit often in the future." Josh said reassuringly, "After all, we are just 'more like relatives than lovers', aren't we? Demi Moore and Bruce Willis also often visit each other Visiting, people are not talking about it."

"That's because they have several children." Jenny complained, but still laughed, "You're right, when the starring role of "Avatar" is confirmed and the whole thing is over, we can really' Be friends again."

"Sounds really exciting." Josh agreed, grinning, "Maybe we can have a double date with Leo and his new love then."

"And let the Hollywood paparazzi go crazy?" Jenny laughed, "Forget it, this idea is too exciting."

Josh also laughed, he opened his hand to Jenny, and Jenny also fell into his arms, the two embraced for a long time, Josh patted her shoulder, "Take care - remember, If you have any questions, you can come to me."

"You too." Jenny patted him on the back hard, "I will check your house from time to time, Mr. Blanche, if I find any traces of marijuana, you will be in trouble."

"Never let this go, will you?" Josh's voice was soaked with laughter and warmth.

"Of course, I will always remember." Jenny winked at him.

The two smiled at each other for a while, and Josh picked up the beer bottle again, "So, are you really going to act in "Avatar" next? Are you really not going to accept art films?"

"It's hard to say now." Jenny replied honestly, ""Avatar" may not start shooting within this year, maybe I will act in some low-cost literary films in the second half of the year, but before "Pirates of the Caribbean" is released, I have no plans to negotiate a film contract. ——It is difficult for the market to set a price for me now, and we don’t have the energy to choose scripts for the time being.”

"Ah, you mean—" Josh raised his voice knowingly.

Jenny nodded, "If there are no accidents, the contract will be officially signed and announced when I return to Hollywood this time. There must be a lot of things to be busy in the next few months--after all these discussions are over, I'm really, really going to take some time off and it feels like I haven't taken a day off in the last five years."

"So you are the most noteworthy investor and producer in Hollywood." Josh said solemnly, "You will be rewarded for your hard work."

Jenny picked up peanuts and threw him, "Don't laugh at me, the most promising future superstar in Hollywood."

Josh made a grimace, "Don't call me that, you should call me-'the last hermit in Hollywood'."

He laughed out loud, and when he saw that Jenny was not smiling, he took out his mobile phone in an explanatory manner, "Have you read TMZ's review article? Didn't you? Look, this article is wonderfully written .”

The re-shooting in South Carolina took longer than Jenny thought, and it is now in late March, which means that the post-production of "Pirate" is time-consuming again, and the actors once again have to rush Doing post-dubbing and a lot of publicity work, of course, also means that the news of her and Josh's breakup has been announced to the media by Judy. In order to compensate TMZ, this time the news was made by them exclusively. Jenny and Josh also cooperated to film a video of the two talking and laughing and shaking hands for TMZ: Compared with ordinary paparazzi, TMZ prefers to shoot Video, they think that users of tmz ​​site prefer video, think it is more authentic and believable.

Yes, the teams of the two sides said that they broke up amicably, and they broke up at the beginning of this year. In the official statement, they directly wrote, "The two are still very good friends and relatives, but love has been replaced by family affection. . Jenny and Josh have calmly broken their engagement and wish each other a speedy finding of happiness'. Coupled with the video shot by tmz and the follow-up draft created by the team, the sporadic rumors released before, the reaction from the outside world was unexpectedly calm, and the fans of both sides did not even criticize each other. Jenny and Josh can be regarded as "good together" San', successfully completed this collaboration without getting involved in deeper and more absurd rumors.

Of course, this is also related to the good external environment. First of all, Leonardo has a new love recently, which has diverted the attention of many people. Secondly, the news about "Avatar" is still leaked After going out, the rumors released by the media were very cautious, did not mention the name, only said that it was Cameron's new project, Leo and Jenny were interested in joining, and Christopher seemed to have ambitions for the role - this news made Universal and Cameron It was very annoying, but it really cleared up the suspicion of cheating on Jenny, and it also made her fans feel at ease. However, the keyword Jennifer Jefferson cheating has become a hot search on Yahoo and Google. After all, her public image has been damaged to a certain extent.

In addition, the general public also has an understanding attitude towards the breakup between the two, mainly because, although the two parties are still negotiating extremely-difficultly-difficultly, haggling over the details , digging the words (this is one of the reasons why Cesare can’t talk about new films for her recently, all his energy is spent on it), but Disney has now started to create momentum for the big dream of becoming a shareholder: recently, the media seem to Suddenly discovering Jenny's talent in investment and production, they all began to take stock of Jenny's production achievements, and quoted Wendy Finnerman's praise: "This girl is really making films, not just pretending." Every step of "The Devil Wears Prada" has her figure", Harvey Weinstein's praise: "The success of "The Fifth Sally" is inseparable from the credit of Jennifer's needlework, without her , I wouldn't consider making this film, she's a great producer. ’

In a word, now that Jenny's reputation as a "civil and martial artist" has spread, her innumerable halos have been plated with a layer of gold. Although this is not her original intention, facing the gift from Disney For such a generous gift, Jenny seemed to have no choice but to be grateful and accept it.

Judy took advantage of this wind and announced that Josh would take a break from the film industry for half a year and go to England to study acting. In this way, the differences between Josh and Jenny's routes are already obvious: one is to focus on Acting, on the one hand, is multi-faceted. Compared with his fiancée, who is better than him in every aspect, his style has always been very simple. As a new star, Josh, who does not love the hustle and bustle and power of Hollywood and focuses on cultivating acting skills, is known as "Hollywood's last hermit". It's too nasty. ——Since then, the peaceful breakup of the two seems to be an inevitable result. The fans of both parties can be satisfied, and Josh also took the opportunity to give himself a golden layer of "acting with all his heart". If Pai transforms, this will add a lot of points to him.

As for Jenny, besides the advocacy of the media, the addition of this layer of halo as a producer seems to have failed to arouse any response from the masses. Oscar's great achievements, her aura of being good at investment and film production, seems to be just soso to the public. Although this news can make the core fans rejoice, it is difficult to touch the excitement threshold of the public—this is the disadvantage of becoming a legend. The public has become accustomed to her awesome x, and no matter how awesome she is, it seems that she can't break through her double wielding Oscar's excitement at that moment.

Of course, this is not to say that the public has lost interest in her, on the contrary, the public's interest in her has turned to the other side - when Hollywood is talking about Disney's investment this time, looking at her differently, However, such a set of conspiracy theories is quietly circulated in the online community: Many people who have watched the tmz video refuse to believe that her and Josh's relationship is over, and instead believe that they are still a sincerely loving couple. Just because of the situation, what kind of situation? It is that she and Leonardo are indeed going to shoot James Cameron's latest big production, and the producer is going to hype her and Leonardo's affair, so Jennifer and Josh can only go underground, but the two of them The way people look at each other is enough to explain everything. Compared with the far-fetched scandal between Jenny and Leonardo, this pair is clearly a pair.

For such news that can't harm her, Jenny can't rashly dispatch puppet masters to control the field. Moreover, puppet masters can't manipulate public opinion on the Internet freely. There is nothing they can do, whether it is Jenny or Josh, or even Cesare, Judy and Chris, they can only accept this result dumbfounded: the reaction of the masses is the affirmation of their work results, at least from the current public opinion. Look, the work of the two of them is very good...

After the last sharp roar, Johnny Depp's private jet came to a standstill on the runway of Los Angeles Airport. own team. Jenny walked towards her car while taking off her earphones, and hugged Mary, Claudia, and Judy respectively, "Hey, Claudia, long time no see—"

"Hey." Cesare had finished greeting Johnny and Josh, and walked towards her to greet her, "Have you had a good trip?"

Although he was wearing sunglasses, so that he was even more expressionless than usual, but it could be heard that Cesare was in a very happy mood at the moment. Jenny gave up observing the picture of Claudia and Josh greeting each other, she topped her sunglasses, chewed the gum used to relieve airsickness more loudly, and deliberately said in an arrogant southern accent, "What do you think? ? Broker? It’s better to be happy.”

She couldn't help laughing, and then returned to her usual tone, "—seriously, why are you here? I thought you should have a meeting at the company today."

In response to this joke, Cesare seemed to glared at her behind the sunglasses (Jenny noticed that there seemed to be faint traces of eye bags under the sunglasses), but he was obviously in a very good mood today, and his tone unexpectedly did not So it turned cold, "If this is the case, then I guess you still have the energy to go to the company to sign one or two contracts? It's not very important-about one or two hundred million targets-"

"It's been completely negotiated?" Jenny raised her voice, "Didn't you say last night that about the implementation of the preferential rights option—"

"Disney has made concessions, in the way we want," Cesare said, a rare dimple on his lips, but his tone was still serious. "So I think we'd better strike while the iron is hot before they change their minds again—"

"Yes!" Jenny couldn't help interrupting him, she pulled Cesare and ran towards her car, "Finally! yes! Let's sign that **** contract! Yoho!"

Thinking of the great changes that this contract can bring to the big dream: Avatar, Marley and me, Twilight, Disney's shareholder seat——she quickened her pace a bit. At this moment, Jenny experienced happiness better than anything else—better than money, perhaps better than love, definitely better than the success she had achieved, and this joy seemed to compensate for all her sweat and troubles. For a moment, the exhaustion of the past is irrelevant, what matters is the future, which is ambition, anticipation, hope, blankness, and complacency——

She can't wait to run to tomorrow.
