Hollywood Domination Chapter 312: Stage fright?
"This is a brief introduction to the projects that are under preparation in the next two years in Hollywood."
With a loud 'bang', Cesare put a large stack of folders on his desk, then bent down again, and made another loud bang—five 'bangs' in succession 'After the ground sounded, he finally stopped his movements temporarily, and said to the stunned Jenny, "—and we have already done a preliminary screening for you, compressing from the original 1193 to the current 463—but, the rest You'd better read over 700 copies. Although some scripts are not suitable for you to star in, Dameng can take the lead in investment or even produce them exclusively. After all, Dameng still has a surplus of funds, which is enough for us to produce more every year. Two to three small-budget films with a budget of less than 50 million.”
"shush!" Jenny stared at the magnificent hill of folders in front of her, feeling like she was being cheated in a trance—she hadn't searched for treasures in the sea of scripts for several years, and now she can't remember how she got from waiting "Prada" and "The Notebook" were selected from the script selection, and, in Jenny's prediction, she should no longer need to read Taobao in this way: she can remember the movies that will be blockbusters in the next few years, Thinking that Dameng might win, she basically explained to Cesare, how to find the seeds that are easy to make a profit in the script, then in all fairness, it should be Cesare's ability is stronger, and Jenny is removing Jin With the help of her fingers, she didn’t think she would have any advantages. At most, she was discussing with Cesare the scripts he screened out, offering her own opinions, and matching them to find investment and crews for the scripts—on this point , her and Cesare's current abilities are already on par. Although Cesare has a family background bonus, Jenny is not bad. With the film in hand, even if it is the most common and worst script, if she takes the lead, big companies will inevitably compete to invest. At least, before the first failure of Dameng, it is not zero for her and Dameng to raise funds. is a negative number.
As for the movie she wants to act in herself-isn't it the manager's job to pick out a good script for the movie star to choose from? More than 400 scripts, is this teasing her?
"Are you kidding me?" She ended her surprise and turned to Cesare, "Seriously, are you kidding? Isn't it your job to screen scripts for me? ?”
"First of all, I'm no longer your manager." Cesare put his hands on the table and said calmly, "Your manager is Mary——"
Yes, after Cesare's resignation, the manager Jim should have come forward to represent her project, but Jim is now leading the Internet marketing department of Dameng, and there is a studio in charge of it in private, and the usual workload has been reduced. She is quite big, and her status is too inconvenient to show up frequently, so Mary successfully took the position and became Jenny's nominal manager. She got a brokerage certificate and got it in CAA as a bond between CAA and Jenny. Of course, the commission figure is It's not that Jenny and Cesare have signed so generously. Now the contract between CAA and Jenny is quite restrictive. It can only be regarded as an agency relationship in name. As an agent, Mary can only get 5% of Jenny's salary. She also does not participate in dividends. Her main source of income is the salary Jenny gave her, as well as the income share of Xiaomeng Studio. ——Even so, she can guarantee an annual income of several million. According to her usual main job content, this money can be said to be very easy to earn, but if you want to consider the ups and downs of her previous years If she is followed by Li, then the initial investment in this job is indeed large enough, and she cannot be described as just lucky.
As the eyes of Jenny and Cesare fell on her at the same time, Mary sitting next to Jenny seemed to be a little more nervous than before, but she swallowed her saliva and still bravely defended herself. , "But your situation is indeed too special, Jane, first of all, Hollywood actors—whether male or female, have never enjoyed your current treatment. We are not selecting one or a few relatively optimal ones within a limited range scripts—we choose from all the scripts that can be filmed, or even those that were not planned to be filmed, but are considered to have bright spots—any character, as long as you like it, no matter whether there are other candidates or not, it has similarities with them. No contract has been set, or even whether the project is planned to start shooting, it will immediately become a key project of the company, and the contract will be delivered to your desk within a few hours. Under such circumstances, how do you ask us to give How do you screen? There are no crew restrictions, you can only choose from the script—especially if you don’t have a clear standard—”
At this point, she almost complained, "If you want to do commercial movies, whether it's action movies, romance movies, chick-flick, teen movies, R-rated funny movies-it's not a problem, we have enough I can choose the script for you. If you want to act in an art film, give me a genre. Is it a political film? War film? Biographical film? A film adaptation of a famous book? I can recommend 3 to 5 of the best scripts for you, but if what you want is a script with "feeling, I want to act", and you are not even picky about the protagonist and supporting roles, then I can only filter out some of the quality Obviously unqualified script, isn't it? Here I can only guarantee that among the more than 700 scripts that have been screened out, there is not so much room for female characters to play. However, considering that you can change or add dramas, I suggest You still go through all these scripts yourself, I mean, God knows, maybe you will be touched by these scripts and find the role you want to play?"
During her very aggressive explanation, Jenny opened her mouth a few times, trying to interrupt Mary's offensive, but she couldn't find the right opportunity, and she was even a little ashamed by Mary's words——Okay , when she said that she wanted to act in a film with feelings, Jenny didn't expect that this would be such a difficult request for the agent. After all, for her now, there is no conflict with the crew in the entire Hollywood. There is no need to think about who the heroine of this movie is originally scheduled to be. As long as she wants, the film and television company will offer the role with both hands-even if it is a project led by a big director like Spielberg, this is probably the case , if the director is unhappy about this, the company may even take the risk of offending the director, even if the director is changed, Jenny must be used. After all, Spielberg has not lost money in recent years, but every movie of Jenny They are all big hits and big profits, and the company certainly knows how to choose.
Of course, realistically speaking, no major director will refuse the opportunity to cooperate with Jennifer Jefferson now. For these major directors, they do not have the problem of lack of qualifications. The best film often means that the director himself wins an Oscar again, and Jennifer has cooperated with emerging directors several times before, and they have all contributed to their winning the best film. In the ranks of film and television companies, she is even more popular, not to mention her outstanding acting skills, professionalism, financing ability and box office guarantee, which make her the top1 actor list that directors most want to work with, and even many big directors are in some Openly joked with Jenny in social situations, complaining that she did not work with big directors too often...
When she was still working **** Broadway, Cesare had to fight desperately for an audition opportunity. Before she filmed "Monroe", Jenny faced competition in the casting of "Life and Death Reading", but today after "Monroe" exploded, no one in Hollywood can contain her momentum From the scripts piled up in front of my eyes, it can be seen that the whole of Hollywood has really given her everything she wants as an actor. As an actor, even if such a peak period is only one or two years, it is enough to make them proud for a lifetime , have been mixed up to this point, what else can I ask for? Even if you want to go up to a higher level, I'm afraid there is no way to go up, right? Whether it is salary, share, financing, status, popularity or awards, Jenny has reached the limit that an actor can dream of. At this moment, facing a table of scripts, even though she is used to being surrounded by flowers and honors I can't help feeling a little bit of self-satisfaction in my life - after so many years of struggle, I have finally come to this point. Even if it is trouble, this trouble is indeed very luxurious and happy.
"Okay, okay," under such flattering attacks that seem to be complaints but are actually flattery, even if Jenny wants to get angry, she may not be able to maintain her anger, not to mention that she has a good temper in the first place, " Isn’t it just a few hundred scripts? Can’t I read it? Stop pouting, Mary, find a boy and take it to the car, and I’ll read it when I get back to the hotel tonight.”
Mary successfully got rid of the job of picking the script, and she enjoyed a small victory, but she still knew how to control herself, and she didn't exchange any triumphant eyes with Cesare, but gave Jenny enough face , was more obedient than usual and responded cautiously, and even backed up to the door, then opened the door and walked towards the big office, beckoning people to come back to work.
Her dramatic actions did indeed have the effect of enlivening the atmosphere. Jenny turned her head and watched her go out, but she couldn't help but shook her head with a smile, turned to Cesare and complained, "You don't think you are going too far Is it? Cesare, Marie is my assistant - but I feel like I'm being sidelined by you guys. Also, what do you mean by 'you're not my agent now', you asked me to sign Marie to do it When I was an agent, I never said that you would let go of my acting career from now on-I have a strong, strong feeling of being cheated now! Look at my face and you will know that I have How unhappy."
Her joking words, of course, did not break through Cesare's defenses, he raised his eyebrows expressionlessly, "If you let me say it—even if Miss Effie and I are really working together to exclude someone If so, then there is no doubt that the lady must have brought the blame herself—and besides, I don't see what you need for the position of broker now. You don't need someone to help you negotiate the price, and you don't need someone Help you choose the script, then, does it make any difference whether I or Miss Effie act as your agent? All you need is a machine to deliver the script, and if you like, you can pay five dollars a day Hiring a **** on the street for the job wouldn't make any difference."
"ouch——" Jenny made a pained expression, "It sounds like someone has accumulated grievances for several years, and finally couldn't help but want to vent—"
Speaking of this, she couldn't help laughing for a while, then shook her head and ended the joke time, "It seems that Mary is satisfied with her current position, and has no ambition to go any further. .”
"You have already given her a chance," Cesare also returned to his seriousness-of course, his expression did not change, if there is any difference, it is that there is no vagueness in his tone With a smile, "This is enough."
If Mary is really interested in switching to the brokerage business, her accumulation around Jenny will undoubtedly be of great help to her. There are not many people in the industry who have made some friendships. If she has some appreciation for the script, it will not be too difficult to be an agent like Jim did in the past-although in the short term, the income of the agent may not be that much. It will be as lucrative as Jenny's assistant, but in terms of the ecological chain, a broker must be more advanced than an assistant. However, Mary obviously didn't understand the deep meaning of Cesare asking her to screen the scripts—although the position of agent is just a cover, but even if it is a cover, it is a rare opportunity, if she is smart and hardworking enough Jenny doesn't mind having multiple people advise her, and Cesare is even more happy to have someone she trusts to share the burden. Even if she is not competent at the beginning, as long as she has the motivation to learn, whether it is Jenny, Cesare, or Jim, And who wouldn't point her out with all her heart?
Of course, maybe Mary's ambition is not here. After all, her family is rich, and her current job is also rich in income. She and Nicholas have developed a stable relationship. Maybe she really has no idea of changing careers. This is actually a good thing for Jenny. She also hoped that Mary could be her assistant all the time, so she didn't have any feelings of resentment, but urged Cesare, "Do you really want me to kneel down and ask you for some advice? Cesare, don't tell me, when you read the script, you really didn't pay attention to which stories are more suitable for my taste."
Cesare raised the corners of his lips slightly, and gave her a polite smirk. He led her to a corner of the office, made room for Mary and the others to carry the script, and poured a glass of water for Jenny. , I added half a cup of coffee.
"It must be stated first, I still hope that you can read all those scripts and provide your perspective and opinions." He pushed the water glass to Jenny, "Don't push everything to me. Your responsibilities as a partner and chairman—"
Under his sharp eyes, Jenny glanced at the script that was as high as a hill, and had no choice but to resist the urge to sigh, no longer evading, but nodded to give a promise, Cesare then continued, "Return As for the topic just now, can Mary and I give you guidance? No, in fact, Mary is right. As an agent, I can give you advice based on your development in a certain period of time, and tell you that the next stage is best. What kind of films are being made, what projects are in the works for this type of film recently - if you're willing to take advice, yes, I can recommend some scripts for you, but the problem is, at the moment you're not interested in the awards or the box office There is no urgent need, and this situation can make any agent at a loss, so the role of Mary and I in this matter is infinitely close-in fact, we can’t give you much advice.”
Hooking the ear of the cup with his fingers, he led Jenny back to sit down at the desk, nodded to the male employee who was moving the last load of scripts away, opened the drawer, took out a few folders and pushed them to Jenny Side, "If you are interested in my opinion, here are a few scripts that I find more interesting, including "Inception" that you told me about, but I don't guarantee that this will suit your appetite. Because So far, all of your films have been cast for some reason, so I have no way of knowing your preferences."
"Give me a brief introduction," Jenny opened the folder and said casually, "By the way, how is the discussion about the capital injection of "Inception" going?"
"It's not going very well," Cesare said, "If you can't be guaranteed to play, it probably won't be able to be funded-but you have made it clear that you have no interest in the role of Mel, so I plan to put it in In the column with a lower success rate, unless you change your mind."
Jenny clicked her tongue, but didn't say much—"Inception" is actually a good example to measure the strength of Dameng, and it is also another proof that even if you have a golden finger, you may not be able to win a good project. Director Christopher Nolan was inspired when he was filming "Batman Begins" and started to write the script, but a director of his level, as long as he is dealing with mainstream themes, he basically has no worries about investment. Before this news, Warner, who had a very pleasant cooperation with Nolan, won the project with ease-the relationship between Nolan and Warner is like the relationship between Spielberg and Paramount, unless it is Warner Not interested, otherwise Nolan would really not consider other production companies for the project. Even if Dameng knew that "Inception" would be a hit, he would have nowhere to start. Of course, if Jenny is willing to act , that's another story.
However, Jenny really doesn't have much interest in the role of Mel. This is not just because of her willfulness in wanting to appear in the movies she likes, but to maintain her career, "I still say that , Nolan's movies are actually a drain on the actresses -- just like the series of movies we're going to do, they're more suitable for young actors starting out, for established actresses, even male actors, There is not much promotion."
Cesare nodded, not intending to argue with her, "This is indeed a consistent feature of Nolan's movies. In his movies, all you see are his thoughts. Except for Heath, there is no Who can leave a deep mark-he will be the director with the most personal fans in the new millennium. If Dameng can get him, it will be our luck. Not very attractive to an actor."
“Especially actresses, to say the least, Nolan is simply misogynistic, but in other words, who isn’t the big director?——They still say I don’t work with big directors too little, but actually The truth is," Jenny complained, "the bigger the director, the less room there is for actors in their works, especially women, who always have poor roles, and all the dramatic conflicts are concentrated on men. It's actually sexist—I feel like I've become a real feminist now—and the more I read the script, the more cynical it becomes."
"I feel like you're asking for a compliment," Cesare said, and he gave Jenny a pointed look, "If you still need someone to point it out, yes, because of your efforts, now Hollywood's There is no doubt that there is an upward channel for actresses—the five folders from blue to green are all female biopics that are planned to be launched in the next two years. Of course, the number of projects in the pipeline is far more than this, These are the five films with more interesting scripts and themes. If you need to, you can rewrite the script. What Warner wants to do is Nightingale, starting from a young age, there will be no shortage of luxurious scenes, and then filming her end of life , made a little more in-depth, mainly discusses Nightingale's thinking about life and the examination of the times, not the kind of boring film that sings praises, I think the script and concept are good, and should be favored by the Olympic Award , it's also challenging for an actress as the character will span from 20 all the way up to 90 when Nightingale died, and it's not even without difficulty for you - you haven't played an older person yet Right? This will be a good opportunity to challenge."
It cannot be denied that Warner's idea is indeed very attractive. Although the box office of this movie should not be very good, at least it cannot repeat the miracle of "Monroe". It can still be guaranteed, if it can present the luxurious and hypocritical side of the Victorian era in the conception, as well as Nightingale's thinking about life and time, it should be a high-quality film. But—maybe because two literary films were filmed in succession, both in the 1950s and 1960s, and now we are going back to the 19th century. One side, but didn't look right away, "Other than that, who else? Mother Teresa? Joan of Arc?"
"There is also Bloody Mary, oh, and there is a more ingenious one, Catherine I," Cesare shrugged in Jenny's eyes, "and, Queen of the Severed Head, although this movie has There has been an unsuccessful remake for a few years, but the script is quite interesting, and if you are interested in acting, funding will definitely not be a problem.”
"The lives of these famous people are indeed very interesting," Jenny put aside several scripts, held her chin, and said with some distress, "but this is not the movie I want to make, I don't You know, they don't seem to interest me, no matter how unique the perspective, no matter how interesting the questions they try to address, they don't excite me - but I can take a closer look at these scripts, if there is potential, maybe Dameng can try to invest in the production of a film. I don’t have to act in it. Scarlett, Natalie, and Ellen Page. There are many young actresses with potential who can hit the Oscars through these films, and if the budget If it’s not too high, even if you lose money, your losses will be limited.”
"Then put them in another sub-item." Cesare did not let go, but said objectively, "These are two issues. Whether you intervene or not is very different for the project. If they are only invested in production, they must compete with another subset of projects, and the projects with the most advantages can get our capital injection.”
After discovering the general outline of Jenny's 'intuition', his attitude is very stable. If it is the item of Jenny's intuition, Cesare will definitely take it as much as possible, but if it is not selected by her intuition, cut it. Sare will be business-like and strictly scrutinized, and will not spend a lot of money just because of Jenny's casual words, and Jenny has nothing to complain about. In fact, this approach makes her feel more at ease, after all, she really doesn't know If this kind of movie doesn't have her acting, what will happen to the box office? If it's decided because of her one word, she might still panic because of it.
"Okay, then we have left—" Jenny pouted, "well, there are only three books left—Aronofsky's "Black Swan"—well, very famous, But this is a dual personality, I don't want to act again in the short term, but this film can be won - oh, well, I see, the copyright of the script has also been owned, unless I star in it, it will be difficult for Dameng to get involved..."
"Lady Macbeth, well, it sounds very exciting, a remake of a famous book—I don’t think I’ve ever challenged a villain—well, I saw it said that it will do some adaptations—”
"It's mainly about the beauty of Lady Macbeth," Cesare said, "and the plot will be more modernized, and the core spirit will remain the same. Overall, I think this movie lacks depth. There is room for it, but its popularity can make up for everything. From my point of view, at this stage in the field of art films, you can properly get in touch with some remakes of famous works, which will make you gain deeper favor and support from the academic school— —”
Seeing the change in Jenny's expression, he added, "Of course, if you're interested."
Jenny is not very interested in "Lady Macbeth", "This kind of human evil may still be moving in Shakespeare's time, but in today's world, it seems to be a bit outdated-we are in it every day. Watching politicians who are more ruthless than Lady Macbeth perform on the stage, I feel that this story is not so exciting. What else? "Blue Valentine's Day"? The turning point of the relationship between husband and wife, exploring humanity and love... Boring, boring."
She closed the script, shrugged at Cesare, and sighed helplessly, but Cesare was unmoved.
"It's a common phenomenon when you're looking for love at first sight," he said. It's eye-catching - but since you still insist on your own ideas, this is also your freedom. Next, I will introduce you to a few scripts that I think are more interesting, mainly low-budget comedies - "Dragon and Tiger Boys Team, a project that Neil Moretz chatted with me last month, based on the classic series from the 80s..."
Jenny seems to have vaguely heard of this name, but she is not sure whether it is a profit or a loss in the parallel world. After 2009, the Chinese film market has become more and more prosperous, and there are more imported films that can be watched in theaters. , as an audience, it is also a priority to watch movies in theaters. Coupled with Chen Zhen's own taste guidance, she has never watched almost any R-rated comedies that cannot be introduced, and "The Hangover" is only After watching the downloaded version for ten minutes, the file was directly deleted, so although this kind of vulgar comedy of **** and fart type can make money, she can't provide any authoritative reference opinions, so she can only judge with her own eyes: "Is it a school comedy? In recent years, "American Pie" has been on the decline, and school comedy seems to be a space—this part of the market seems to have always been promising, and "High School Musical" is a good example."
"Disney is a bit too arrogant on this point, I told Bob earlier that "High School Musical" is worthy of the big screen, and should be playing in movie theaters from the second one-too bad Dick Sneering at the idea," Cesare shook his head, "This is their old problem, Dick and Rich, their fight has hindered the group's profitability - sooner or later Bob will have to deal with this problem."
Ricky Ross is the president of Disney Worldwide Channels and Disney TV. He doesn't have a good relationship with Dick Cook, the president of Disney Movies. Of course, this is not surprising. After all, Robert has been on stage for several years. And they are all younger than Robert-under such circumstances, it is difficult for the relationship between the two parties to get better. Jenny nodded and said half-jokingly, "Come on, Rich—kill Dick before he can't bear to kill me."
Because Disney decided to cooperate with Dameng to develop no less than five film series based on classic fairy tales, and Jenny will not participate in five films, which makes Dick very angry and feels quite embarrassing-this is naked. .Nakedly robbing the department's resources, and not even giving an excuse, it's no wonder Dick feels that the department is being marginalized. You know, the budgets of these five films are all between 150 million and 200 million. It is impossible for the Disney headquarters to release more than four movies of this scale in a year. Big Dream guarantees one movie every year. In addition to the huge investment in the commercial movies that Jenny herself starred in, within a few years there has been a tendency to produce two movies a year. It is normal for the hatred of the dream to escalate.
"On the contrary, I hope that Dick can stay for a while longer. With his personality, Bob can completely control him. He won't cause us too much trouble. If a new player is replaced, it will be more important. Variables." Cesare said, "Also, what do you think of the comedian resources produced by "Saturday Night Live"? I think this is a group with great potential, and some of the comedians can support a profitable movie by themselves. low-cost works, and maybe even bring us some high-quality goods..."
Cesare's vision in selecting scripts has always been trustworthy, and Jenny did have a little impression of the name "Dragon and Tiger Boys". After discussion, she decided to list this script as the first reading at home. Priority, if she reads it and thinks there is no problem, she can start the negotiation and filming. As for the rest of the scripts, she will find time to read them as soon as possible-this is also the current mode of Dameng. When Jenny's identity is unknown and he can only hide behind the scenes, Jenny's shooting schedule is often very busy, so he takes power, often just signing some documents for Jenny. Now, he is the CEO himself, and with the right to sign, he respects Jenny even more. Some documents will be sent to Jenny for review, especially the appointment and dismissal of personnel, which are usually dealt with after greeting Jenny. Although Jenny is not very interested in these matters, she will never shirk them directly like Mary—she Of course, she absolutely trusts that Cesare will not monopolize power, but this trust belongs to trust, and what should be done must be done. Both parties have a sense of proportion, so that the cooperative relationship can last. She still pays attention to these matters.
This is the first time Jenny has come to the company in a few months. In addition, Cesare and her have their own busy schedules. Trends, Jenny entered the office at 10 am, had a salad at noon, took a nap for fifteen minutes, and was busy until the evening when she just finished the paperwork and didn't even catch up with the full progress. Going to sign the house purchase contract, the two of them can talk about the copyright progress of "The Hunger Games" while walking - after Cesare returned to China, he immediately started contacting major copyright dealers in order to create a smoke screen and confuse competitors. Now he is at least twenty A copyright dealer made quotations, but "The Hunger Games" was not among them. This first round of quotations was mainly to test the attitudes of the major manufacturers. I would rather use the vest company to buy the remake rights, and then resell it to Dameng, so as to reduce the commotion and quietly prepare for the adaptation of this heavyweight ip.
""Slumdog Millionaire" has been selected and will participate in this year's Cannes and London Film Festival. We arranged for the director to walk on the red carpet. As for the leading actors, they are still hiding behind the scenes. I want to wait until Cannes wins the award. I’m slowly letting the air out through the media, telling the actors’ own stories.” When the two walked out of the elevator, Cesare was talking about the warm-up situation of “Millionaire”—after several struggles, Jenny decided to make a large-scale promotion and release "Millionaire", release this wolf, let it compete with "Avatar" and "The Hurt Locker" for the 2010 Oscar, originally she wanted to release the DVD directly, or simply let the finished film be hidden in her hands , but in the end after confirming that she would win the best picture, she changed her mind. Although her lobbying ideas last year left room for this year's "Avatar" to compete in the Olympics, she is the producer of "Avatar" for three consecutive years. It is indeed a bit unrealistic to be on the award stage for the best picture. Furthermore, "Avatar" has made a great breakthrough commercially, but it is really hard to say that it has any achievements worth mentioning in terms of artistry. Giving the award to "The Hurt Locker", it would be better to let "Millionaire" try to make a run for it. After all, this is its own film, even if she can't go on stage to accept the award, it will be a waste of money for outsiders.
"It may not be possible to win an award in Cannes, but it should be very optimistic in London, which is the hometown of the director and the film. By the way, can we invite film critics to watch the film now..." Jenny said, While walking out of the door of the office building under the cover of the bodyguards, she and Cesare both stopped talking tacitly. Jenny raised her hand to cover her eyes, broke through the wall of people under the cover of the bodyguards, and quickly boarded the nanny van. "...By the way, I heard that Roger's condition has deteriorated. Mary, did you send a greeting card?"
"I have already sent flowers and cards," Mary said out of breath, Cesare also got into the car, and the bodyguards also closed the door. Amidst the questioning, he quickly got into the driver's seat, and while using the walkie-talkie to communicate with each other, he slowly drove out of the parking area of the office building under the siege of the media, "Hell, today is really amazing, Beverly Have half of the paparazzi in the villa gathered here?"
"It seems that wherever we go, there will be traffic jams." Cesare did not resume the discussion immediately, but looked at the vehicles behind - it was different from the usual situation where there were only three or four chasing cars at most. , the news is now so high that Jenny returned to China on the first day and attracted at least 15 or even 20 car chasing paparazzi. It seems that unless Jenny drives directly back to the hotel now, and then continues to stay out of the house, Otherwise, they would always find a chance to take pictures of her—even now, there are quite a few paparazzi who, regardless of the fact that the windows have been specially treated and can’t see what’s inside the car, took big pictures of their car windows and were unwilling to let her go. Take a chance. There were even some paparazzi vehicles rushing forward to the front of the nanny car, making it impossible for the nanny car to speed up and get rid of the paparazzi. The whole street was occupied by this large slow-moving convoy. Jenny could already hear the angry horns of vehicles in the distance, even When the queen travels, there is probably nothing more stylish than this.
"If we don't give them something, I don't think they will give up." Jenny shook her head, and made a judgment resignedly. She glanced at Cesare, "The sooner they get it, the more The sooner the chaos will end—are you confident? Huh? Are you ready?"
Marie started snickering, Cesare glanced over coldly, but lost sight of the other, and Jenny on his right couldn't help laughing too—she won the death glance for herself as expected, Cesare Ray's tone was obviously angry and angry, "I have to remind you, Jefferson, this is a plan that you insist on leading, and I have also emphasized this point to you-everyone has their own weak points, and I have no doubts about it." I don't have much talent in acting—"
"To be precise, your original words should be-'If I had acting talent, then I would have chosen to be an actor long ago. With my appearance and connections, becoming a well-known actor in a few years is not easy It’s difficult, and this allows me to quickly accumulate original capital’—” Jenny held back a smile, flirted with Mary bravely in Cesare’s eyes, and tried to calm her down after finishing her sentence, “Of course, yes A correct understanding of yourself is the basis of success, and you didn't say anything wrong—"
Mary laughed uncontrollably, but quickly covered her mouth and sat upright. Jenny pursed her mouth tightly, but she still couldn't help laughing from her throat a few times, and then coughed violently with her mouth closed After a while, he returned to seriousness, "And we also discussed it, you just need to be natural, even a little nervous is nothing, you are being photographed by paparazzi, normal people will feel a little uncomfortable and unhappy , Just leave the acting part to me, just a few shots, and after the initial novelty passes, the number of paparazzi will decrease a lot, and we will move into a new house by then, so we can come and go separately.”
Beverly Hills is actually not too big. The place where they made dinner reservations tonight is not far from the company. Amidst the voice, the nanny car had already stopped slowly on an uphill road, and the paparazzi were like Like an attacking beast, she quickly arrived at the entrance of the restaurant from the car door and seized the favorable terrain.
