Hollywood Domination Chapter 235: Aftermath

"Cut! D! -- God, Anthony, can you be smart?" James said impatiently. I've been stupid for a while, give me one more time."

In the wide studio, no one dared to speak casually except him. Anthony Ryan had long been accustomed to being reprimanded by the director. He nodded calmly, not intending to talk back at all, but returned to the beginning In the buried position, James did not continue to growl, but just glared at him, and continued to pick up the guide tube and shout, "One more take, the camera resets!"

Soon, the studio was quiet again, only the slight noise caused by the machine running and cooling system that would normally be ignored, and the lines shouted by the actors in front of the camera reverberating in the air, Jenny Wearing a rubber-smelling special costume and a headset-style face camera, she moves back and forth in the interior scene arranged like a tree house, showing panicked combat performances. She always follows the way of moving after special training, and It also benefited from the fact that the heroine's force level has been quite stable, so although this scene has been ng three times, Cameron's anger has not shot at her once. Of course, on this set, it is very normal for anyone to be scolded after a few times, so the atmosphere in the set can only be regarded as normal tension, not overly depressed.

As in the past four months, under this suffocating pressure, the actors completed the morning shooting and ticked off some scenes on the few remaining worksheets. The early stage of "Avatar" The production has almost been completed so far, and the remaining workload is less than a week. If it goes well, it can be completed in three or four days. This is good news for everyone: Wellington has entered the midsummer, the studio has no air conditioning, and there are several times more machines than usual, and the shooting environment is getting worse and worse. Often after a few shots, everyone will sweat profusely. If it weren't for the actors not needing to apply makeup, the progress of photography would definitely be slower than everyone expected.

"Fortunately, there is no fill light board," Jenny murmured to Anthony when they were going to their respective trailers, and picked up a small fan to blow the sweat off her face, "There is no need to turn on the light, otherwise I will definitely be hot. Fainted out, those reporters will definitely write again by then."

"When I drove in this morning, I saw them crowding each other at the entrance of the studio, like a group of little penguins huddling together to keep warm," Anthony said with a chuckle-he wisely didn't say anything to Jenny. If there is any doubt about the current relationship with Chris, it is just to treat the big news that is making a noise in the dust, which has alarmed at least a hundred reporters flying to Wellington, as a daily trivial matter, and reminds Jenny lightly, " Be careful when you go out, I guess you don't want to be photographed without makeup now."

"Thank you for reminding me, Anthony." Jenny fisted with him, "I won't go to the restaurant with you anymore, I suggest you don't go either, Mary told me that the air conditioner there is broken, let's go back to the trailer for dinner... "

Escorted by several crew members, she successfully arrived in the air-conditioned trailer at a comfortable temperature without any harassment. Mary had already prepared lunch for her there. A bottle of energy drink is included. Jenny sweats too much at work. If she doesn't replenish her salt in time, she will easily become dehydrated.

"Hey."

"Hey."

After a brief greeting, the trailer fell into silence. For 3 or 4 hours in the morning, almost all of them were stuffed in airtight uniforms, jumping up and down in the sweltering heat of the studio, and at the same time Jenny is almost exhausted from dealing with James' temper, which has become more irritable and more likely to be ignited due to multiple reasons (studio interruptions, construction delays, Fox rush, hot weather), and the last thing she wants now is The thing to do is to talk, what I want and should do most, of course, is to seize all the time to rest and eat, and get ready for the three hours in the afternoon.

After silently eating a bowl of cold oatmeal, Jenny felt a little more energetic—she was too hot, and she didn’t want to eat any warm food—she asked, “How about Did you get an email from Jack? How is things going in Malibu?"

Mary grimaced and said cautiously with a rather weird expression, "Jin's assistant couldn't get in at all, so I can't audit the number, but..."

She struggled for a while, and then said quickly, "As your assistant, I must remind you of professional ethics-although I don't think it's necessary-but we don't have to go to Malibu to After estimating the specific amount, Christopher’s accountant must have a receipt.”

Jennie nodded and stuffed another mouthful of food into her mouth. She squinted her eyes and enjoyed the crunchy peach. She didn't speak immediately, but Mary seemed to have misunderstood her statement. She said quickly, "Jane, don't do this, can you? If the media finds out, they will have a new story to report."

Yes, when Chris embraced his 'new love' on the second day after he left New Zealand and appeared boldly on the streets of Los Angeles, Hollywood, which was at the end of the year, was full of waves of love between the superstars. It has suppressed the limelight, no matter what awards the Oscar bellwethers give out, no matter what covers the leading actors of the Olympic Games are on, no matter how this year's Oti will be allocated—with Chris and Jennifer Compared with the love storm between the actor and actress, all these are not important!

'Cheating! Cheating! Cheating alert! Another lace for Christopher! ’

'Christopher dumped his other girlfriend, does Jennifer know he's broken up? ’

'Actor returns to normal life'

'The shattering of a love fairy tale? Relationships born of crisis cannot last’

'Jennifer shed tears and fainted on set'

'Jennifer is pregnant with Christopher's child, and Christopher doesn't want to be a father, so it's a breakup□□'

——There are all kinds of absurd speculations, serious media reports are more restrained, tabloids began to spread news, from reunion, various people (female celebrities who have a relationship with Chris) are pregnant with Chris The child, Jenny and Cameron's affair, Jenny and Leonardo's affair and other angles to fabricate rumors, as long as they can sell newspapers, they dare to publish any exaggerated reports, and the supermodel in Chris's arms Ollie also took advantage of this to become a hot search word on the Internet. After being on the top Yahoo search, she also became the object of curses by Jennifer fans and (part of) Chris fans. Of course, there are many different voices in the fan group: there are blame Chris reverted to his old ways and hurt a good girl, some blamed Jennifer for being ignorant and fell into a love scam, and some believed that the two had either broken up or would get back together. If the two were not affiliated to the same agent and the same PR, the current situation would definitely be even more chaotic: under the same camp, the two sides would not speak ill of each other, and the media would lose a lot of hype Speech, otherwise, once the two sides start chatting and dissing each other, this drama will definitely last until next year.

Even though the official has always claimed that the two had broken up peacefully a few months ago because of getting together less and more, the reason why Chris went to New Zealand to visit Jennifer was to put an end to the relationship between the two. Before Leigh dated, the two had officially ended. The spokespersons of Chris and Jennifer also confirmed this statement, but the media is not a fool: Jennifer's things were not sent out of Malibu until after the incident, and were transported to a friend's house for temporary storage, and Chris and Jenny together in August When they participated in the Venice Film Festival, the relationship between the two seemed to be very stable. How come they broke up peacefully a few months ago? From anyone's point of view, it was a simple matter - Chris cheated on poor Jennifer, and the young girl who had never experienced such a thing managed to maintain her dignity while being in front of her agent. Under pressure, he defended Chris externally, and at the same time packed his luggage, but was kicked out by his ex-boyfriend.

The couple who used to be co-actors were revealed to be dating. It was a dramatic scene when Jennifer was threatened with death. Because of Chris’s performance at the time, the public has always responded with blessings and affirmative attitudes to this couple. , They are also regarded as Hollywood's new golden couple, after all, the two are very compatible in career and appearance, and after being together, Chris has changed his behavior of frequently changing partners in the past, and has been in peace for more than a year, see It turned out that Jennifer, a good girl, took her back in one fell swoop. Many people thought that they would go to marriage, but Chris's abrupt behavior ruined all of this. While criticizing Chris, netizens also paid attention to Jennifer's movements. : This good girl must be heartbroken!

The public has needs, and the media has motivation. On the day tmz published the video, his website traffic doubled compared to usual. Many paparazzi booked their tickets to Wellington the next second after seeing the video. , they infiltrated Jennifer's current life in every possible way: bribed hotel staff to peek into her garbage bags, investigated her recipes and laundry list, dressed as cleaners to sneak into the set, ambushed on the edge of the trailer, and rushed out unexpectedly Wanting to interview Jenny... James was so annoyed that he lost his temper. In the end, the studio blocked all the reporters from the door, but no one knew what crazy things these reporters would do afterwards. Among the many things related to Jenny Chris now, even if they find out one thing, it will be great news-Jenny has to be thankful that the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where she usually sees is very strict, and " After the accident in "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", Jenny Fang took the initiative to release rumors. This time, she did not reveal any rumors about her pregnancy test. Otherwise, the media would not know what kind of madness would become.

Of course, this news has had an impact that cannot be underestimated on her career, both positive and negative. Clayton" has tasted the sweetness. The pre-sale situation is much better than Warner estimates. There is also a wave of rising sales of related products, which is also an inevitable reaction every time there is news. That wasn't the concern—she and Mary were talking about the check she owed Chris.

It is impossible to have many people who can get to the top in the entertainment industry, but this refers to the high-level behind-the-scenes. As for the stars, there are many people with rebellious personalities, such as Chris's age It's unimaginable what a male movie star who has made a name for himself at a young age, and who has had a smooth journey, once loses his temper. And judging from his behavior of leading Ollie to the street, his mood has been unstable for a while, and this point of view has been confirmed one after another——Cesare didn’t say much, just Tell Jenny that she has temporarily deposited her personal belongings with Lillian. But Mary and Jack have a good friendship, and she has heard a lot of gossip: it is said that Cesare and Judy are going crazy, Chris is directly banned from going out, as for his 'new girlfriend' Ollie, she I also got a part of what I want - attention. As for the other part of the benefits I want, such as the continuous exposure of program invitations and the profit model of earning appearance fees by commenting on Chris-Jane, I was directly contacted by caa Her agency was strangled in the cradle - this is the benefit of being backed by a big tree, otherwise the media will definitely be more lively now, and there will be another heavyweight character dictating her and Chris's private life, and relying on Use this to earn lucrative monetary benefits.

These gossips are just part of the information that Jack sent. Chris is also communicating with Jack and Jenny. His emotions may be quite unstable. Jenny guesses that he may have never been in love before, or that he has never been in a relationship. He has never encountered any setbacks in this respect, so he behaves as naive as an adolescent boy. For example, he tried to block Cesare's move for Jeanne at first, without knowing why, and later (presumably this move was rejected by Cesare. Ray’s reprimand and strangling) and simply asked Cesare to convey to Jenny, asking Jenny to pay for the decoration and renovation of his Malibu mansion, that is, to pay the money for renovating the West Wing because she moved into the house.

Cesare never mentioned this matter to Jenny at all. Needless to say, he must have taught Chris a lesson to stop this unreasonable idea. After all, it was Chris who moved into his house when Jenny Asking her to pay the bill is very rude. ——And Chris couldn't make sense on Cesare's side, and he might have discovered that Jack and Mary were in contact again, so he simply asked Jack to send a message and asked Jenny to pay him the money.

This may be a killer weapon for a girl with an average financial situation, but it can only make people laugh when it comes to Jenny-you can pay if you pay, can't she afford it? Jenny agreed immediately, but when Mary contacted Jack to make an appointment for the accountants of both parties, Jack told Mary in a thankful tone: Chris had changed his mind, and Jenny didn't have to pay the bill anymore.

If you let Mary and Jack say it, they both think Chris's request is absurd, and Jack may be even more ashamed, so he gives up this idea, and they are all happy to see it come true. But Jenny doesn't think so. Since Chris has spoken, she has to send this check even if he doesn't want it now. In addition to the renovation expenses incurred by her, she also wants to pay because of her She is also willing and strongly hopes that aa will bear the expenses incurred for using the private jet, and of course the expenses of the two traveling together.

"I know what you're thinking," she explained to Marie, "I'm not fighting with Chris, trust me, this isn't two big-name celebrities arguing in some weird, childish way—"

Bitting her lower lip, she hesitated, "I didn't send that check to be provocative, but since he's feeling unhappy now, I hope I'm not feeling well either, so the monetary loss should have some effect on his mood." Help."

"I think he'll just get more frustrated," Mary ventured. "I think the best thing we can do for him right now is just stop talking to him, don't you think? Jane, if you really want to pay, Maybe we can wait for him to calm down before asking Cesare to convey this matter—you see, Cesare may not agree with you counting money with him now, let's not add to Cesare's work. Burdened."

Because she found an argument, her tone became stronger and more urgent. Jenny gave her a funny look, "It seems that you really don't want me to continue to count money with him."

"I just don't want to see you come down to his level," Mary said smartly. "If you also decide to find a male model, Cesare will definitely go crazy, won't he?"

As long as people who are familiar with Chris, even if they don't know the content of the quarrel between the two, they will not take the matter between him and Ollie seriously, and really think that he has moved on in a blink of an eye. Most high school graduates will not be unfamiliar with his behavior. Of course, whether it is Mary, Jack, Cesare, or Judy, they are actually the best among their peers, and they don’t need to think much about this behavior. Having said that, Mary's disapproving tone has already explained everything, but Jenny was not pleased by her belittling of Chris, she shook her head, "Everyone does something stupid when they fall in love for the first time - let's not talk about it Now, what about the news from London?"

"You will fly directly to London after you finish in New Zealand," Mary took out her mobile phone and skillfully opened the notepad, "The cast and crew are almost complete, and the male lead still needs your final interview, but Arthur, Chesa And I'm happy with the cast and if you're happy too, we'll be shooting in a week. Chesa canceled all your trips to Hollywood until February if we don't get best picture and Ottie If you don't, you don't even need to go back to the Oscars..."

"Oh, yes," Jenny looked at the time, "The live broadcast of the Oscar nominations should be announced in a few hours, right? Remember to keep me informed of the results."

As far as the current Oscar frontier situation is concerned, the performance of "Michael Clayton" can only be regarded as steady. Too many, "No Country for Old Men" and "There Will Be Blood" are both outstanding performances, and Daniel and Jenny also brushed some awards, but neither of them showed up to receive awards, and Daniel's acting awards are sometimes in "There Will Be Blood" ", sometimes with "Michael Clayton", the judges' mentality of cashing out of the outpost, "Michael Clayton" does not have an absolute advantage. However, compared with other competitors, the problem of insufficient exposure of the crew was accidentally made up by this scandal, although this kind of exposure may not be a good thing for Jenny, and it can even be said that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. ——Just like Aniston will probably never get rid of the image of "poor ex-wife", this kind of public sympathy is actually more like an obstacle for Jenny. If she can choose, she certainly hopes that both parties can keep a low profile separate.

However, this is the end of the matter, there is no point in thinking about these things, I chatted with Mary for a while, and then took a nap-I really fell asleep as soon as I closed my eyes-and soon came to the nightmarish shooting Time, sweating all over in the studio for several hours, Jenny was finally liberated, she couldn't wait to take off her capture suit, rushed to take a shower, and when she walked out of the bathroom, she was caught by Chesa Ray's phone call.

"Don't count money with him." Cesare said as soon as she picked it up, "Don't—do you hear me? Just don't add to my workload."

"Ah, it looks like you got wind of it from Kim," Jenny said. "Now that you say that, well—I can drop that idea for now, but when it's over, I want you to get wind of it from him." Get me a checklist from my accountant.”

"...I know it's a bad idea to teach you negotiating skills," Cesare was silent for a while, and he said with obvious reluctance, "ok, then it's settled."

"Thanks." Jenny changed the phone to speakerphone and put on her daily clothes, "Is the Oscar nomination out yet?"

"Still studying for technical awards." Cesare turned up the faintly audible TV background volume so that Jenny could hear it, and he asked with some caution, "Is there anything else I should know that you don't have?" Did you tell me?"

"Well—is there any?" Jennifer raised her voice.

"Jefferson," Cesare called out warningly.

"Ok, ok." Jenny returned to seriousness, "It should be gone, you know, we are not ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend after all, there are not so many things left with each other, so many things need to be cut."

After the words were spoken, she suddenly realized that this might hit Cesare's sore spot - she was obviously not in a good state today, so Jenny quickly said, "Is he okay? He didn't cause you any trouble, did he?" ?”

"He is better than he was a few days ago," Cesare said, "still quite depressed, but generally recovering, and a notable feature is that he is beginning to admit that he has done wrong. According to him, he was Drank a lot."

In Hollywood, there are many ways to break up, both pleasant and unpleasant. For property worth no more than 10,000 yuan, spending millions of dollars in legal fees will not attract any criticism in the industry, but like It is generally not accepted that Chris directly makes big news like this, not because it is morally unjustifiable, mainly because he has added countless unnecessary workloads to his team, and the general sympathy for Jenny in the industry is also consistent with The public is different, and they can all see that Chris’s outburst of the news is not out of stealth, it’s obviously the result of anger, and a relationship that might have been reconciled is now in a dilemma, for her public image , Jenny scored even if she didn't want to, and the annoying thing about this matter is that even if they broke up, Jenny's image would still be damaged to varying degrees. ——So, instead of treating her cautiously during this period, people kept talking to her about the complicated impact of this incident, and warned her to be psychologically prepared. This kind of business-like attitude is to a large extent This eased the embarrassment, which was beneficial, because Jenny couldn't help but mention the ex-boyfriend's name.

"So, we are expected to be able to attend the Oscars at the same time?" Jenny asked, "Or is it that I still can't go?"

Chris has accepted the Oscar invitation before, and will present a technical award. This kind of invitation cannot be easily changed. Jenny will be the main producer and starring representative of the crew of "Michael Clayton" , she can give up the Golden Globes, but it would be a great pity not to go to the Oscars. ——However, just like when discussing external speeches at that time, Jenny calmly accepted the fact that she might not be able to go to the Oscars, and gave this opportunity to Chris.

"We can look at the situation again," Cesare said. "Usually speaking, Chris won't be out of control for a long time, so you still have great hopes of participating in the Oscars."

His tone faintly reveals the subtext: Cesare thinks that Chris' loss of control is rather unusual.

"Didn't his family come here?" Jenny asked, and then she denied herself: This is not the first time Chris changed girlfriends, maybe his family didn't realize that he was unusual at all, just pretending He raised slight doubts and was quickly coaxed.

"No." Cesare said, he hesitated, but still revealed, "His mother wanted to come, but was stopped, and Chris hasn't seen anyone these days."

Jenny frowned, "You and I both know what he needs now - he needs someone to talk to him now, Cesare, not Leo, not Jude, he needs a real good friend, A real mature man talk to him, Chesa...can you talk to him?"

Cesare was silent for a while.

"I have always avoided getting involved in your romantic drama." He said dryly, "but since you entrusted me with such a heavy responsibility..."

"It's not a romantic drama, and you know that." Jenny put on her strappy sandals. "You know where he's at, we've all been there, Chris has surprisingly little experience with it, he needs a little help and just because we broke up doesn't mean I don't care about him anymore - we had a good time Time, he is very good to me, I hope he can get better soon."

She shrugged, "You know, Hollywood can accept a person who is sloppy, but absolutely can't accept a person who is not working-and he is going to the Middle East soon."

"I have already rejected the request to go to the Middle East for reshoots," Cesare said, "I can't trust him to go now...but you are right, I will talk to him."

"Good," said Jenny, "—but he doesn't need to know that, do you understand?"

"I understand." Cesare said quickly, "Of course he doesn't need to know this, you can rest assured that I won't reveal anything."

"Good." Jenny said again, and she suddenly felt a little tired—she was not suitable and wanted to hang up the phone, but she didn't want to find a topic, or even talk.

She listened to the background sound: It seems that the awards they care about have not been announced yet, "Then, I hung up the phone, and you will call me again when it broadcasts to us later."

"Jefferson—wait," Cesare said—with a rare hesitation.

"What?" asked Jenny, tying up her sandals.

"What about you?" Cesare asked. "Are you okay, Jefferson?"

Jenny paused for a moment, then continued to put on the other shoe, dragged the laptop with her free hand, and confirmed the schedule for tonight: go to the recording studio to record the dubbing for "Iron Man", study The script of "Monroe", reviewing the recent workflow of Dameng, and if there is still time, make a video call with Salvi to discuss his revisions to the script.

"It's not so bad that you can't work." She shrugged, "Or it's not good if you are too busy, don't worry?"

"I'm always at ease with you." Cesare said succinctly, he paused, "You know, if needed, I always have an extra cigar in my pocket."

Jenny was really amused by his slightly awkward tone - she sat on the sofa in the trailer, and showed the first really relaxed and sincere smile to the air these days, she was looking for a playful and Replies that don't pile up, usually, this kind of witty words should be blurted out without thinking, but these days it does take her extra effort. However, before she could answer, she heard the voice of the TV on the other end of the phone, "Best Actress Nominees: Cate Blanchett: "Elizabeth: The Golden Age", Jennifer Jefferson: "" Michael Clayton"..."

Needless to say, Cesare changed the phone to speakerphone and turned up the volume of the TV. The room on both sides of the ocean suddenly fell into silence, only the female voice announcing the nominations softly recited the names one after another. , Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Movie... After reading the names of all the candidates and movies, the nomination announcement ceremony also came to an end.

"Yes!" Until then, Jenny whispered in a low and joyful voice, "This is even better than we thought!"

——Cate Blanchett became the 12th actress after Jenny to be nominated for two Oscars. She is certainly remarkable, but the achievements of "Michael Clutton" made Jenny even more delighted. It made her feel even more great-as expected, she got Otis, and "Michael Crichton" also rushed to the best picture candidate list, and what is even more exciting is that Daniel also got Otis - Obtained Otti with "Michael Clayton"!

Oscar almost never has an actor occupying two candidates for one award. Otti won the best actor for "Michael Clayton", which means that "There Will Be Blood" unfortunately failed . And "Michael Clayton", which has no publicity, can beat "There Will Be Blood", which has a lot of public relations firepower, to grab the title in this award, which in fact hints at this point—

"Michael Clayton" was very appetizing to the Olympic judges, they liked it very much!
