Hollywood Domination Chapter 195: Punishment of impulse

"tmz has already distributed the video." Judy answered the phone, walked into the hotel room, and said in a tone that has experienced many vicissitudes of life, "Of course, don't even think about it, Yahoo and msn are all out. Report, congratulations, lovers—you've hit the headlines.”

No one in the room responded to the ironic 'lovers', because the phone rang almost one after another, and Mary, Jack, Jim, and Chris' publicist Annalize were constantly dealing with mobile phones, text messages and emails Watching the media, even Chris's own mobile phone has never been idle. Although the ringtone and vibration have been turned off, the screen of the mobile phone is still on, showing how many people are contacting them now.

"Give us an explanation." Annalize, who was wearing a well-crafted afro and shiny black, hung up the phone—she had just passed the security guard and hurried into the hotel room, and she hadn't talked to the room yet. The people here communicate. "Chris, you can't just suddenly decide to make this whole thing public - and you can't just run back to Los Angeles! According to the schedule, you should be filming in London - oh god."

She rubbed her face, and said in a tone that obviously suppressed her temper, "Just—just tell us why, tell me whether your behavior will continue to be out of control like this—are you high? Seriously, you recently Did you develop a drug addiction, Chris?"

On the way back to the hotel from the police station, Chris had already said a lot of comforting words to Jenny, and of course there were some slight blames, and Jenny also admitted that she should have called Chris last night, But to be honest, it is impossible for her to be so comprehensive in her frightened state yesterday. In fact, even now, there are more people around her who have been giving comfort such as hugs and kisses, and she does not feel that she has fully recovered. normal. Even if she blamed Judy and Annalize, she didn't know how to defend herself.

But of course Chris was calmer than her. He let go of Jenny, but he didn't humbly apologize to Annalize. After seeing the news, I understand everything—my girlfriend is receiving death threats, and I’m going back to China to visit, is there anything illegal about this? Tell me, Annalize.”

"But Chris—" Annalize also raised her voice, "You make my job so difficult—"

"That's why I pay you a high salary." Chris interrupted her. As soon as he objected to Jenny's tenderness, he pursed his lips, leaned forward, and stared at Annalize almost coldly, " I'm not paying to get a female corrections officer for me, honey, within the legal limits, I can do what I like, hell, even if it's not legal, it's not your business to correct me, you are a pr, all you have to do is for me Aftermath—this is our supply and demand relationship, I didn't pay someone to yell at me, Annalize, do you need me to explain it more clearly?"

Annalyse took a very obvious deep breath, but finally murmured, "Got it, Chris—so now how do you want me to deal with the aftermath?"

"I don't know, we are two single men and women, why should we disclose our private life?" Chris said, "Is there any law for this? Tell those reporters to go away, we have nothing to say Advise."

Annalyse hesitated to speak, but finally nodded, "Okay - Jack, come with me, let's go to the conference room."

She took Chris's team away, and the room became quieter. Even the atmosphere of Jenny's team was not as manic as before. Mary, who hurried back to the hotel from the hospital, almost looked at Chris with reverence. Even Judy looked more cautious than usual, and with a slight cough she caught Jenny's attention.

"Would you mind telling me exactly what happened?" she asked, "I mean, I'm not against your relationship—"

Jenny smiled weakly, "It's really nothing, Chris just had a panic attack - look, I didn't have my phone - I guess it was left in Claudia's car?"

Actually, speaking of it, Chris has reason to be angry—according to the standards of big-name stars—first of all, no one informed him about this incident, and Jack told him when he saw the headlines on the Internet. Then Chris called Jenny, and Cesare couldn't get through. He didn't contact Cesare until he got on the plane. It was just that Jenny had already fallen asleep at that time, and Cesare briefly talked about the situation, and also explained the fact that Jenny was frightened, and gave him the hotel address and room number.

But when he arrived at the hotel this morning, the room was already empty, and neither Cesare, Jenny, nor Mary could be contacted at all (Cesare should be in a meeting), Chris has always been I didn't get on the phone with Jenny, and finally found out from Cesare's assistant that she might be at the police station. He wanted to get away with a pullover and a mask, but... because Jenny was in the police station today, the guard at the gate was very nervous and asked him to take off his mask. The paparazzi who had been on the porch for a long time started to take pictures even when he was wearing a mask. As soon as the mask was taken, the situation was almost out of control on the spot... Although in the end these paparazzi were not able to use the method of breaking into the police station to take pictures However, as an eyewitness, he has already sent the news of 'Chris the hero saves the beauty, leaves the police station with j.j' in his hands, and mentioned the 'hug of the century' between the two in the text.

"It's only a matter of time before these photos hit the site." Judy was obviously trying to suppress her anxiety, "There will always be a site that doesn't care about the lawsuit, and now the whole ontd is crazy-people are talking about you and Ke Reese, and you have to know that Chris has been in London for the past six months—"

With some scruples, she glanced aside Anne Smith, who had been silent all this time. She didn't tell the whole story, but said, "And you and Josh only announced their breakup half a year ago."

"Long-distance love exists in this world," Chris said, his voice raised a little impatiently, "Am I alone? Why is everyone in this room caring about people who don't Meaning, the tidbits of going in the trash in a month? Can anyone really see the problem here - there's a **** stalking my, dy, girlfriend, friend! He broke into her house, just Choose a time when no one is around, or don't carry a weapon—"

Jenny trembled, and Chris immediately lowered his voice, "I'm sorry, dear——"

He softened his attitude, but his tone was still quite stern, "That's the most important thing, isn't it? Not how many people would think that Jenny and Josh broke up because of her fault--seriously, any Would one think so? But anyway, I don't think you should continue to put pressure on Jenny now, Judy. PR is not important, Jenny's safety is important, without her you can't get that big PR fee Got it, do you understand?"

Judy also showed the same uncomfortable expression as Annalize. Obviously, her tolerance for Chris's acrimony was lower than Annalize's, and Jenny smoothed things over, "Chris, don't Get mad at my PR? Judy just wants to do her job—"

"In fact, public opinion control is very meaningful in this matter." Officer Smith also spoke for the first time. She walked to the middle of the room and attracted everyone's attention, "First of all, I want to say, Mr. Hanks—"

"Oh, please, just Christopher." Chris was a little upset, but still maintained enough respect for Annie.

"——Christopher." Anne changed her words graciously, and introduced the current case in a commentary tone, "Generally speaking, there are several forms of stalker, silently following, attracting attention, or both, some ignorant The victim probably didn't even realize that he was being stalked for years - if the stalker could keep silent, but in our case, his stalking behavior should not last long, because Jennifer your whereabouts have been Relatively variable and difficult to track."

She continued, "Stalkers usually don't have the strength to track their targets across borders. In addition, Jennifer, your home security system can record the time when the unlock password is entered. After screening out your home cleaners and some facility maintenance personnel, you can I saw that the questionable password record appeared in the past half a month, so the stalking behavior should have developed into the house within this half month. By the way, the police did not detect the surveillance equipment in the house, or extract the Valuable fingerprints, and no traces of damage to financial facilities were found.”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Jenny also felt that the panic had really dissipated a bit—the fear of someone killing her would definitely be difficult to get over in a short time, but now, at least she can dispel her * being violated And the fear of betrayal.

"Before we left, we had already found a clue. I asked one of my colleagues to take over at the police station. He just sent me a text message." Annie took out her mobile phone and took a look, explaining in an orderly manner, " This is a gradual and obvious development curve. Looking at the chronological order, at first he was calling for a response, and then he expressed threats—about a month ago, he began to send death threats, and the letters also No more postmarks, this could be the time for real full-blown stalking, can you tell me, Jennifer, have you ever felt someone break into your home this month?"

Jenny racked her brains to think about it, but still shook her head, "I have a cleaner, Anne, and someone lives with me. I don't do housework. It's very common for furniture to shift. I I really don't feel anything wrong."

This is also the thing that scares her the most. A stalker has broken into her house at least twice, and it is very likely even more. It is possible that he opened her underwear drawer and stole some underwear. She didn't know anything yet—if she had doubted before, she could still have some confidence now, but no, there was no clue, and suddenly everything changed. It is this sense of loss of control over one's own life that makes people lose the most basic sense of security, and even scares Jenny more than when she fell into the sea and was injured.

"He may have found a surveillance blind spot, climbed in through some open windows, surveyed the terrain, and then chose to commit crimes in the cloakroom that you will often use. This is an escalating crime mode." Anne Said, "He is no longer satisfied with unilaterally expressing his emotions-maybe from the previous stalking behavior, he has found that you can't see his letters, which makes him very dissatisfied, and he wants to ask you or the public response."

Jenny couldn't help but nodded—the police officer's professional and calm attitude was somewhat reassuring. "Annie, so you're saying, now we should minimize the influence of this matter in the media?"

She regretted a little, "Oh, I really shouldn't have talked to those paparazzi yesterday--"

"It's not your fault, you were panicked at the time, it was your instinctive reaction." Anne said firmly, and Chris also shook her shoulder, "And one thing we should realize about the stalker is , you can never satisfy him, you can't make a deal with him, Jennifer. If the intimidation doesn't work, then his anger will escalate. And now, when the country is reporting death threats, he will feel high, and the satisfaction will be Drive him to reverse the case again, or to make it worse. No matter whether you finally talk to him or not, he will not stop following him, he has completely lived in his own fantasy-do you understand what I mean?"

Jenny's emotions are like riding a roller coaster now, but she can't help but admit that Annie is right, "ye—yeah, what should we do now? How to control public opinion? Or give up control?"

"The police suggest that you communicate with the media to urge them to give up your stalking and filming." Anne said helplessly, "This kind of ubiquitous stalking will allow him to easily obtain your address through the media, and start again. Intimidation, of course, we also recommend that you temporarily hire bodyguards. At the same time, we will arrest the murderer as soon as possible, he should leave a lot of traces, and this case should not become cold—don't worry, Jennifer."

Although she said so, Jenny still has no idea, because the American police are indeed not famous for their high efficiency in solving crimes. There are cars, the road culture is developed, the police are not high-paying professions, the fact that the local government may not be rich in finances, and the lack of police force is a fact that the community often needs to face. It seems that there are not many such stalker cases solved in a short period of time—— Unless the stalker is simply real-name harassment, another point is that this stalker has not committed a felony, even if he is caught, he will be released after a few years of imprisonment, so the police really can't give her much sense of security in this matter.

She forced a smile, "Okay, then Judy, can you discuss the specific countermeasures with Annie?"

"No problem." Judy also adjusted her mentality, she obviously already knew it, "We may use some interviews to bribe them, you are right, it is immoral to publish a large number of your street photos in a short period of time of..."

She led Annie to the conference room, while Jenny bent down to pour water for herself—through the reflection of the glass, she caught a glimpse of Annie winking at Chris, and then followed Judy away. And when she straightened up, Chris kissed her temple, "Go and rest, don't think about it so much-oh, maybe you can return some calls."

He handed his phone to Jenny, "Some of the calls here are obviously for you - they may have seen the picture of us together from the news."

Lilian, Josh, Claudia, Meryl, Rob Marshall, and some friends who are obviously more familiar with her—Jenny felt warm in her heart, and she answered the phone without breaking Chris' Instead of my excuse of going to the bathroom, I started calling my worried buddies back, which should have been done yesterday.

Of course my friends were worried, mainly because the nature of this death threat was quite bad, reminding many people of Jodie Foster or John Lennon (fans who assassinated Reagan originally planned to kill Foster, It’s just because of her beauty that they can’t bear to do it), but they still have many other ways to know about Jenny’s safety, so all they care about now is her emotions. Lilian wants to come and see her, but she is on duty now, and Josh is because of It is inconvenient for Chris to return to China due to the news, but I also hope that the two will keep in touch at any time and try to cheer her up. By the way, Claudia informed her that the mobile phone was in her hands. It is said that when she found out, it had been turned off because too many people missed calls. She asked for the address and planned to send the mobile phone over later.

——When Jenny came back after accepting a large circle of comfort, the world seemed to have become a normal world again. After a while, Chris returned to her and sat down, "Hey? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Jenny said, she was indeed trying to grasp the direction in the current dizziness, "Just now Annie asked you to go over and talk to you?"

Before Chris opened his mouth, she added, "Don't lie - there is no bad news that I can't bear, just tell me the truth and don't make people think."

"Imagination is the scariest thing, isn't it?" Chris said with a smile. "Honestly, there's nothing—just some dos and don'ts for stalker victims, and Annie told me that."

"For example?" Jenny asked suspiciously.

Chris shrugged, "For example, nervous and sensitive."

He put his hand into Jenny's hair and began to massage her scalp, "Insomnia, irritability, and even overeating are all mental coordination disorders, ptsd. She suggests that you should not Go back and live—"

"Of course." Jenny said quickly, "I don't want to go back to live at all, thank you."

But Jenny doesn't want to discuss where she will live next, because a few days before this incident, Mary just proposed to her to move out to live with Nicholas, and Jenny of course agreed happily at the time. After this incident, she must be embarrassed to ask Mary to stay with her. This girl is more scared than she is, and, with a lot of paparazzi, she can't borrow someone else's house—

She covered her face and groaned viciously, "Oh, forget it, stop talking, I want to sleep for a while, Chris, can you massage me for a while?"

She rubbed Chris's shoulder and said coquettishly, "You'rebest."

Chris slipped his hand from the scalp and pinched her cheek before continuing to massage, "Actually——"

His phone suddenly lit up, and Chris glanced at it, "It's Chesa—wait."

He picked up the phone and clamped it between his shoulders and neck, and while giving Jenny a massage, he said, "Hey, honey, don't tell me you called to scold me too."

Obviously, he is also "seeing the food" - Chris doesn't have the domineering attitude of "I asked you to wipe my ass" towards Cesare.

Cesare didn't know what to say on the other end of the phone. Chris's movements slowed down, but his mood was still calm. Is it? Well, I see."

"Well, ok." Chris hung up the phone, Jenny opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling, "What did he say?"

Chris didn't answer, but answered the phone again, "Hey—James——"

He started talking on the phone in a polite, warm tone, and Jenny shifted and looked at Chris upside down.

"Of course, I understand very well." Chris laughed, "Oh, don't say that, yes, I am very much looking forward to the next opportunity to cooperate-James, don't keep apologizing, it's nothing, I completely understand..."

He exchanged pleasantries for a while before hanging up the phone. Jenny sat up straight and raised her eyebrows, "what?"

"It's nothing." Chris threw the phone on the sofa, and said calmly, he even shrugged, "James just called to explain—they canceled the "Avatar" audition."

"Oh," Jenny said, not sure what emotion she was in, "because of the scandal just now?"

"Because of the scandal just now." Chris said, shrugging. "Of course, they will make a decision so quickly. It should be because they are more inclined to settle on Leo. This is just a good excuse."

Judging from the order of the two phone calls, it should be that after Cesare notified him, James called to explain himself. Oh, it might be considered unkind to use the opportunity to kick him off now, but it's still the same sentence - who made him James Cameron? Not to mention him, but Jenny, who has just risen for a few years, isn't this unkindly trying to exclude George Clooney from the game?

Of course, this is not a bad excuse. The fact is, no matter what Chris said just now, for those who are interested, Jenny was out filming in the second half of last year, and this year it was Chris who got together. The time was when "The Fifth Sally" was filmed last year, and Chris has been abroad since she and Josh broke up, so the media will inevitably dig up some 'when did the two decide to be together' material.

Although it is said that this kind of topicality is something chick-flick wishes for and can help them sell more box office, but for a giant production like "Avatar", it is a bit low. This kind of big production basically rarely has a hype relationship line for publicity (with Jenny and Chris's current coffee positions, there is no interest in allowing them to hype their relationship). On the contrary, such an entangled relationship line between men and women will It has become a big obstacle for Chris and Jenny to be selected at the same time. ——Not to mention the loss of style, in fact, many masterpieces don’t like to use couple files or husband and wife files, because it’s one thing to create love in a movie, but if they are together before filming, the director seldom chooses a husband and wife file at the same time, unless one of them One person is the main investor, or has great influence, and has made up his mind. After all, it is very simple, if Chris and Jenny are acting together, how can the director ensure that they will not quarrel or have a cold war when filming together? What if you want to shoot a fighting scene and you can't fight? Want to shoot a love scene, but can't make it feel what the director needs? Even if the acting skills can pass, the more important point is that over the years, the blockbuster films that actors and husbands and wives have starred in have not been very successful at the box office. It's so big, if you don't take risks, you certainly won't take risks.

But generally speaking, it's actresses who get kicked out. It's rare for Chris to be kicked out this time—although it's strictly his own fault, Jenny still feels for him Sad, she said, "Chris—"

"It's nothing." Chris shook his head, not seeming to take it seriously, "In fact, I have always had some doubts about the shooting format—"

Facing Jenny, who was still not relieved, he spread his hands and laughed, and said freely, "Hey——seriously, it's nothing, I did what I wanted to do, it had consequences, I bear it It, no big deal, isn't it? Don't be sad, ok?"

"Okay." This is all Jenny can say. Chris's sharpness, sobriety, and a special kind of pride and self-confidence have always been the traits she admires. "It's just that Leo should be happy - okay, okay, let's stop talking about this topic."

"Of course," Chris said, "continue to talk about what just happened, in fact—"

He hesitated for a moment, as if considering what to say, and finally said simply and directly, "I also don't think you can live in that house anymore, you should move to my house to rest for a few days--stalker anyway You can't break into my house."

He paused unnaturally for a while before continuing, "Actually, I was thinking, for safety reasons, maybe you should move in."
