Hollywood Domination Chapter 234: A logical paradox
"D!" Cameron picked up the guide tube and shouted with satisfaction, "Half an hour's rest, another running shot, and we can call it a day!"
There were intermittent cheers in the studio, and Jenny applauded perfunctorily, and then immediately walked to her trailer so as not to be disturbed by anyone—although Anthony just fell and seemed to need a little Condolences, but she really doesn't want to talk to anyone now, no matter who she wants.
"Hey." When Jenny opened the car door, Mary was squatting in front of the refrigerator and picking some fruit. She turned her head and greeted Jenny nonchalantly, "Would you like some apple juice?"
Jenny waved her hand and fell on the sofa, but Mary did not receive the signal, and instead asked in a feigned excited tone, "Orange juice? Mixed juice?"
"Mary!" Jenny raised her voice and shouted. Mary stopped talking. After a while, she closed the refrigerator door and sat next to Jenny.
"Would you like to talk?" she asked.
"I don't want to," Jenny said, closing her eyes and rubbing her temples, "I just want to be quiet for a while."
"Okay," Mary said sympathetically, "Well, if you need me, I'm in the kitchen."
She picked up some fruit and walked quietly out of the trailer bay, and Jenny felt slightly apologetic towards her—she was usually very polite to Mary—but the fact that she had too much to worry about, Soon, this irrelevant thought drifted away from her mind. After all, it was only yesterday that Chris had quarreled and left, and she had no time to think too much now.
Contradictory... logical conflict...
The problem that troubled her in the early days of time travel once again appeared in front of Jenny, but this time was different from that time. At that time, it was hard to say whether she would succeed in entering the industry. Entering the industry and working hard were the only answers to all the questions. That was not the time to think about it, and now, she can no longer avoid the question: If she can achieve her goal of dominating Hollywood, why should she go back?
Of course, a very direct and clear reason, a reason that has been reminded of her through the logo of Big Dream: No matter how good her life is now, she is a person with children, and she should go back for her son, raising children is a mother Responsibility. ——However, such a simple reason will lead to more problems. If she went back to take on the responsibility of a mother, then if she disappeared after she achieved her goal, would she also give up her responsibilities in this world?
Leaving aside the company, these losses may be made up with money. Where are her friends in this world? Her sudden disappearance is also hurtful to them. Of course, a friend may not be able to compare with her son, so what about her lover in this world? If you have children, what about children in this world?
This kind of analogy can be superimposed endlessly, but the core contradiction is always there: it is impossible for her to achieve this goal alone, and in the process of achieving this goal, she will have various people. Emotional and financial connections create responsibilities, and choosing one responsibility means having to give up the other, and there is no best-of-both-worlds option.
And the most idealized approach - to keep a gentleman's friendship with everyone until you go back, this has been proven to be unfeasible. Her current life is full of exhaustion and stress, and her instinct will make her constantly seek relaxation and comfort. Cesare and her were partners in the beginning. If she hadn't actively communicated with him many times, they would not have become friends. , in that outburst, he once said that she asked for more support from him than she should have, so it turned out that she must be seeking support. She couldn't beat herself, couldn't overcome this survival instinct, Second, even if it could be overcome, Jenny felt that she might have a nervous breakdown as a direct result of prolonged solitary struggles.
So, either she becomes a shameless emotional liar, coaxing the victim into supporting her, but refusing to marry him and have children, one wakes up and trades the other, and then returns apologetically after reaching her goal, or She stayed here with a similar apology—considering that her current wealth and social influence have completely surpassed those owned by 'Chen Zhen', she feels owed for everything anyway, and it seems more profitable to stay here to feel owed s Choice.
Then she faced the second question: Since she doesn't want to go back, why does she want to dominate Hollywood? This does not represent simple rhetoric, it represents countless exhausted nights, it represents countless times to order my tired lips to smile, my exhausted brain starts to work, and my legs filled with lead start to run , her schedule is elaborate and persistent abuse for a normal person, if she doesn't want to go back, why continue with her current life? She has a lot of money, and she can't spend it in her next life. She has a very successful career, she is already a legend, life should be a kind of enjoyment for her, not...not the way it is now.
No solution, Jenny only knows that she still doesn't want to give up, and she hasn't made a decision to stay. In fact, she has been avoiding thinking about this issue. Until Chris broke out yesterday, she couldn't stop thinking about—— Is she going back or staying? Although she didn't know why she was thinking about this question, she was completely at a loss in this matter, she didn't know how she should choose, how she would choose, whether she would regret it after she chose—she simply Already completely lost myself.
Closing her eyes, she searched for her son's CDs in vain again, and failed again. Jenny cursed silently in the empty and dark performing arts space: She has taken many home videos for her son, but None of these were brought. And six years have passed, busy and full of six years - she really can't remember what he looks like, this fact makes her feel guilty and sad, and it ignites her long-lost stubbornness: she can't Knowing what force brought her into this world, and gave her golden finger and this incredible task, but—but, at least she can maintain her self-esteem, she can at least try to challenge, try to overcome it. Go back to her own world, that is her home, even if it is not perfect, it is still her destination.
"Hey, Jane." There was a slight pull on the arm, and Jenny returned to reality. Mary was looking at her with some worry, and she held a glass of juice in her hand, "Are you okay, Jane?"
"I'm... fine." Jenny shook her head, she wasn't unhappy about being interrupted, but she was touched by the sincere emotion on Mary's face, she took the cup from Mary's hand, "Thank you, you Didn't you get yourself a drink?"
"Here's mine," Mary said, taking a sip of her juice, and sat down next to Jenny, giving her a few tentative glances, "So, it's been loud, huh?"
Jenny couldn't help laughing, and she kept laughing low until Mary started to look panicked before saying, "Do you think we're friends, Mary?"
This sentence is easy to misunderstand, but Jenny's tone is very soft, and Mary is not offended. She thinks for a while and says seriously, "Yeah, of course, we are friends-in fact, I think we are a little bit like Sister."
She was a little embarrassed, stuck out her tongue, and found that Jenny didn't laugh at her, so she continued, "Of course I know it's funny and unprofessional to say this, but really—maybe because I was 18 years old with you The relationship together, I think you are like my ideal sister, Jane, we take care of each other together, I take care of you, and you have been taking care of me—"
"I understand what you mean." Jenny said softly, she touched Mary's cheek, "Mary, yes, we are like a family."
"Yeah, me, you, Jim and Cesare, we're like family," Marie giggled, and she nuzzled Jenny affectionately, "Jim is an annoying cousin, Cesare An even more annoying governess—frightening, but he's a must at critical moments.”
Her voice softened, "And we are like a family, always by your side to support you, you will never be lonely, dear, don't be depressed, you have us, we will protect you of."
Jenny hid her other emotions with a laugh and said, "Wow, dodger, what did you guess?"
"I didn't guess anything." Mary blinked, "but I guess - Chris and you had a fight, you broke up? Something must have happened between you anyway, and he ran back to Los Angeles in a crazy night Go. And I know you want the support of family and friends right now, and that's it."
"It sounds like you know everything." Jenny said noncommittally, "You might as well guess again, whose fault is our quarrel?"
Mary laughed, and she said smartly, "Why, do you want to get him back, do you need some motivation from me?"
Before Jenny answered, she pointed at Jenny and blocked her reply, "If you were reasonable, you wouldn't say that, honey, when girls feel hurt, they will find their friends to scold and It's not good to condemn your boyfriend, so this time it's your fault, you made him run away in anger?"
"It's not like I ran him off," Jenny said, and she sighed, "Forget it, I don't know what I'm doing, I'll go to the studio."
"Don't." Mary smiled and pulled her back, "I can give you the answer you want, and it's very sincere."
She blinked and put on a very emphatic sincere expression, "Chris has always been very good to you, he loves you very much, honey, I mean it, his love for you can be seen by anyone Come on—we all know he's been accommodating you, and you're the one enjoying it. Give him a call, Jenny, a long-distance relationship can't stand a cold war, and I mean it, give him a call."
Jenny was somewhat helpless and pulled back to the sofa. She stared at Mary for a while, and Mary raised her hand, "I swear I'm telling the truth, Jane, it's really my truth."
"You speak the truth without knowing the truth of the matter." Jenny said, and before Mary could speak, she shook her head to tell her to shut up—after thinking about it for a while, she finally made up her mind, " Stop talking, I'm going to make a call - I have to talk to Chesa."
Mary seemed to be aware of her confusion and irritability. She nodded, made a gesture of listening and respecting, picked up her cup and walked to the kitchen, giving space to Jenny and her phone.
The bell rang once, and Cesare answered it.
"Say." His tone was calm and normal, as if he didn't know that Chris returned to Los Angeles yesterday - Jenny couldn't help thinking that maybe he really didn't know.
"Uh—" she said, not knowing what she was going to say, "did you know that Chris went back to Los Angeles yesterday?"
"Yes," Cesare said calmly, "and he seems to be in a bad mood. Do you have anything to communicate with me about this matter?"
His tone was very professional, a bit different from the usual tone of the phone. Jenny guessed that he was in a meeting, and she could almost outline his current appearance: suits and leather shoes, sharp eyes, never tirelessly rushing forward.
"I—uh—I..." she said with difficulty, "I have something to do with you, I think—"
Her words stopped, because Mary came in hurriedly, holding a computer in her hand, her face was extremely ugly, and she directly brought the computer to a convenient place for her to read.
The computer page stayed on tmz's website, and the title in boldface seemed to have her and Chris's names on it, but Jenny didn't pay much attention—her eyes fell directly on the video on the page: In sunny Los Angeles On the street, Chris is hugging a beautiful girl intimately—with a tall and hot figure and a somewhat familiar face, there is no doubt that this is a new supermodel—as the video plays, he He tilted his head and left a kiss on her lips. They didn't know what to say, and both of them smiled.
Among the background noise on the other end of the phone, at least six kinds of phone rings rang harshly at the same time. Cesare's tone was a little heavy, "Jenny?"
Jenny closed her eyes, then opened them again.
"There's something I think I'll have to trouble you with," she said apologetically, "I need you to move my personal belongings out of Malibu, Chesa, and I want you to help me if possible Find a new place to live..."
