Hollywood Domination Chapter 37: YoungandBeautiful

"Happy New Year, dear." Lilian came up and gave Jenny a big hug, "Don't be restrained, to be honest, just relax, my family is fine."

Jenny smiled and handed over the gift, "Happy New Year, Lier."

She shook hands with Cesare again, "Happy New Year, Cesare."

Cesare did not treat her coldly tonight, on the contrary, just like the day he entertained Rob for dinner, he showed a decent and happy attitude, and even gave her a social smile in return. "Happy New Year, have fun."

His eyes fell on Jenny's ears again, and Jenny couldn't help laughing: she still wore the Chanel dress that Cesare gave her today, although she didn't wear the pair of faux pearl earrings anymore, but The jewelry used to match it is not very high-grade.

After Rob's Christmas party, she ushered in a short vacation. During this period, Cesare had no time to sign the contract with her because of some "family affairs", and Jenny didn't go out at all, but Continue to practice surprise in the performing arts space, and she didn't come to meet the two of them until today when Lilian's house held a New Year's party.

Different from Rob’s single-family house in Long Island, Lillian’s New Year’s party was held in an old apartment building on the Upper East Side. It is full of dignitaries, and many tenants and buyers of apartment buildings have to pass the review of the owners' committee composed of all the residents of the building before they can sign leases or sales contracts. In her previous life in Manhattan, Chen Zhen could only live in the Upper West Side where the upstarts gather. Although her husband's family is rich, they have not entered the Oldmoney social circle in the Upper East Side.

Generally speaking, the party level in the Upper East Side is relatively high. Jenny dressed up casually at the Christmas party, put on makeup, and passed away in a fashion dress. Little Fragrant Dresses from New York—Sure enough, in Lilian’s parents’ apartment, most of the young women were wearing little dresses with delicate light makeup, and you can also see that although their jewelry styles are not exaggerated, they are all sparkling Bright, obviously not cheap.

After being introduced to her parents, Lilian smiled and brought her to the window, "Tonight is too expensive for you, I should tell you that you don't need to bring gifts."

"It's just a bottle of wine," Jenny said nonchalantly, "Did you go on vacation as a family?"

"Yes, let's go to the Canadian farm to visit our grandparents." Lilian's family life has a very strong upper east side color, and Jenny has no doubt that there may be an old castle standing in the Canadian 'farm', "Congratulations yet You got the contract, and I will try to come back to New York to see the premiere!"

She giggled again, "Although it might be awkward if I appeared with Chesa."

Although Jenny is very busy, the two still talk on the phone from time to time. Knowing that Cesare did not tell Lilian about the 'Misunderstanding of Rob' incident, Jenny immediately called Lilian, not wanting to create anything between the two of them. Bloody misunderstanding. Lilian didn't mind this, and she also talked to Jenny about avoiding sexual harassment in the workplace with concern. Many of her uncles were people in the entertainment industry, and of course they heard about such things from time to time.

Generally speaking, at Jenny's current level, straightforward harassment is relatively rare. Most of the roles she will compete for must be official. First, there are many people who decide whether you can pass the level, and it is impossible to bribe them one by one. .Desire to blind oneself to rational choices. In Hollywood, is it not easy to want beautiful women? There are so many nightclubs, as long as they show their identities as directors and producers, there are plenty of girls who are willing to post, and many of them may not be uglier than Jenny. Take a big risk and let your sensibilities interfere with your professional judgment.

However, on the other hand, when a person holds the power of life and death, and he has his eyes on you, even if he wants to refuse, he has to show some skills. For example, take "Chicago" as an example. In fact, the final story of this movie should be the investor Harvey Weinstein, who is also the operator of Miramax. Jenny actually cut his face, even if Rob couldn't keep her, she had to leave.

So, if you don't want to pay too much, you have to pray for your luck and not be too coquettish in front of Weinstein. However, such examples are relatively rare after all. Most bigwigs have done their best, and they have already seen this kind of thing. In Hollywood, everything is a business, and a really good businessman will not bring in sensibility. The probability of this kind of death without going to bed is very low. It is more likely that, for example, James expressed his affection for Jenny, and Jenny's body language gave a direct answer, and then James stopped attacking her. Everyone is strangers to each other, purely working relationship, and there is no extra kindness. As for Losing goodwill and losing a night, whether it is more important or not, that is a personal opinion.

Jenny is not particularly conservative about sex. If you ask her to go to a bar to find a one-night stand or something, she may not be so when she is interested, but she doesn't like to push herself in this regard. Before intentionally misleading Rob, including not clarifying the misunderstanding, in fact, they all wanted to maintain a talisman in New York. After all, Cesare's status as a big manager is not low, and ordinary people can't risk offending him to hook up with his girlfriend. But now it seems that either Rob is very strict and didn't tell Agata and James about this, or James doesn't mind (maybe he doesn't believe) the 'lover' relationship between her and Cesare, Then there is no need to continue to maintain this misunderstanding. She said, "Ah, this matter, just explain a few words to Rob at that time, just say that we broke up, or that it was not a long-term relationship in the first place, and he shouldn't care."

"Of course he doesn't care. In Hollywood, it's weird for a relationship to last for more than three months." Lilian made a clear comment, then said with concern, "But you don't have to do this, do you? You know, of course I don't mean to encourage you to blow up this misunderstanding, but you don't have to clear it up for me. It's very protective for you to maintain the impression that others are not single, honey."

"I'm not especially for you." Jenny took a sip of juice—she hardly drank any drinks or alcohol, and the little angel Lilian went into the kitchen to squeeze a glass of fresh juice for her, "Just think about the fact that this misunderstanding is actually It doesn't fit, and it doesn't seem to stop anything, James Schubert has ** me at the Christmas party. — he's the manager of the Schubert Theater."

Any woman likes the emotional experience of gossiping girlfriends, and Lilian is no exception. She whispered, "What? Already? Did you tell him? My dear, if you don't want to, you can Tell him that he has a boyfriend, but don't say so, let him find out by himself."

This is a good strategy. James will definitely ask Rob, and Rob will tell him that Jenny and Cesare are in a secret relationship. Of course, the possibility of James choosing to offend Cesare is very small, and it is unlikely that he will go around. Spread the word that not many people will really care. Even if it reaches the ears of CAA senior management, making them think that Cesare is messing with Jenny even though he already has Lilian... SoWhat? That's Hollywood, basically the relationship between men and women is a mess, what can a few rumors prove?

Just as Jenny was about to tell Lilian why she didn't say that, Cesare had already spoken behind them, "What are you talking about?"

When he got along with Lilian and Jenny in private, the kind of amiability when socializing was reduced a lot, Cesare showed the familiar indifference of Jenny again, Lilian turned her head and smiled at him, "We are discussing your secret third party."

Jennie laughed, but Cesare didn't smile, and instead raised an eyebrow at her, obviously waiting for Jennie to explain further.

The joking atmosphere was ruined in the blink of an eye, and Jenny told him, "James Schubert and I were *, but things didn't go too badly, and he changed his tune after seeing that I was reluctant."

She briefly explained her conversation with James, and in passing mentioned the two last kisses he stole. "He's actually quite cute, but you can rest assured that I won't mix feelings with work, and neither will he, so this matter shouldn't cause us any trouble."

Cesare's brows stretched, "Yes, I believe you can tell that James is a 'Casanova' patient, maybe he will find a new love in six months and forget everything Two clean."

He took a sip of his wine, "But you should have told me as soon as possible, Jefferson."

Lilian frowned suddenly, her face full of objections. Jenny gave him a reassuring look, "So, I should report to you all the *things I encountered now?"

She rubbed her chin, pretending to be deep in thought, "Well, then we need an afternoon, where should we start?"

"James is your theater manager." Cesare did not argue with her, but said indifferently, "Everything about him is not a trivial matter, of course, you handled it well that night, but if you have been wrong I mentioned it, we might be in a little trouble in six months."

"What's the trouble?" Jenny asked curiously, "Seriously, what big plans do you have for me? Are you going to send me to space to sing an opera in six months' time?"

Lilian snickered, and Cesare gave Jenny a warning look, but not harshly.

"It's no good for you to know too much," he said, "but let's be clear—you know I have jurisdiction over your personal life, and of course I haven't exercised that authority for some time in the past .”

"Uh, so you are going to represent my **** and life now?" Jenny asked.

Lillian's disapproval is back. "Chesa——"

Cesare shook his head at her, he took Jenny directly to the corner, and separated Lilian's interference with body language, "When we signed the contract, I once told you, cut off contact with the past, get back Photos and videotapes that might cause trouble, you have done a good job. I hope you can listen to me now with a cooperative attitude. First of all, I want to know that you have been in the past few months-"

"I know what you mean, but I haven't had **** in the past few months." Jenny said, and couldn't help being slightly sarcastic. "I hope this satisfies you."

"Very well, then in the next six months, if you want, you can start a few short-term relationships." Cesare ordered, "But don't cause trouble, don't show drama, don't step on your feet." Two boats, if you're looking at the next one, break up with this one. And don't switch people too often, and don't have multiple **** - you're going to be on stage in two months, and if all goes well, there will be some tabloids interested in you , I don’t want them to get any sensational photos.”

This request is actually quite legitimate. The European and American cultural circles are not taboo about celebrities falling in love, but if it goes too far, it will also be detrimental to the public image. Jenny also restrained her uncooperative attitude, and nodded, "You can rest assured, I guess I will still live as a nun, after all, I really don't have time to fall in love."

"That is also your personal choice." Cesare said, "but after June, you no longer have the freedom to fall in love. If you have a lover, you must break up with him in June, so even if you want to When it comes to dating, it’s best not to take it too seriously. Jennifer——I’m serious, after June you can’t find **** friends, you can’t date, and your sexual activity will drop to zero.”

The contract of the Jeanne and Schubert Theater should start in January and guarantee performances for six months a year. That is to say, if she starts to appear on stage on January 1st and continues without interruption, then this year's contract after June 1st will be fulfilled. And Cesare's arrangement made her feel more and more strongly that the entire contract he arranged was paving the way for a big event after June, and she even suspected that he asked her to act in a musical for after June The matter, including the current 'sex and life ban' is the same.

"Uh, so what the **** am I going to do after June?" Jenny asked tentatively.

As expected, Cesare shook his head and did not answer her question, "Have I made it clear enough?"

"...It's clear enough," Jenny rolled her eyes and said before Cesare, "Don't worry, I won't let you down."

Cesare pursed his lips, nodded slightly at her, and then turned his head towards Lilian first. Jenny looked at Lilian's face, and decided not to join in the excitement. She took the juice and randomly found a group of three or two to join in. After listening for a while, she began to join the conversation, and easily integrated into the social environment inside.

After more than half an hour, Lilian found her on the bay window, she smiled reluctantly, "Hey."

"Hey." Jenny hurriedly beckoned her to sit down, "I hope you didn't quarrel, did you?"

"Don't worry." Lilian squeezed out a smile to comfort her, "Actually, it's not because of you, I know, these are just part of your job content—it's just—it's just that I really don't like Chesa's job."

"Do you not like its high salary, or its power?" Jenny tried to liven up the atmosphere.

Lilian shook her head, "Neither...I just think that the job of a broker is 'inhuman'. I mean, who would interfere with another adult's basic human rights now? This profession Makes me feel mean."

She sighed and drank the wine in the glass in one breath, "I can't understand why Chesa would be happy to engage in this profession."

"Honey, there are tens of thousands of agents in Hollywood." Jenny said, "Bankers, politicians, financial speculators, these are all vilified professions, but there are people doing them, which shows that society needs them. .”

"But I don't need to fall in love with them." Lilian retorted.

The two fell into a moment of silence. Jenny looked at the time and saw that it was almost midnight, so she didn't dare to persuade Lilian any more, for fear that the more she persuaded Lilian, the more she would get angry, so she changed the subject, "Do you know that I have an agreement with Cesare? ?He gave me a dollar for every time he called me Jefferson."

Lilian was really amused, "Are you implying that I can use this method in our relationship?"

"You can set a consensus, such as he doesn't do these things in front of you, and you don't comment on his work." Jenny suggested, "Whoever breaks the contract throws a dollar into the jar."

She suddenly realized that this is not equal to the relationship between her-Cesare and Lilian-Cesare? Hastily made amends again, "Uh, of course it doesn't mean that your relationship with him is the same as my relationship with him——"

"Haha." Lilian laughed, "Don't clarify, Jane, it's interesting to watch you look cautious, in fact, you know I don't mind it at all. Besides, the relationship between your stars and managers, originally It's like a couple."

She tilted her head and joked, "Well, it makes sense, the reason why I don't like his job is because he has three thousand harem, and I'm just one of them who doesn't get much attention.— —Do you know, he is willing to accompany Leonardo to Ibiza, but in the years I have been with him, except for this Christmas when we returned to New York, we have not spent a holiday together.”

"Really?" Jenny teased. "Then you should take the opportunity to invite pets. It's 11:58, go find him, or he might kiss Leo instead of you when the New Year counts down."

Lilian's mood became clearer, and she pulled Jenny, "Let me find you a partner too."

When they found Cesare, the countdown had already begun. Cesare was standing in the corner of the crowd with a glass of wine in his hand, which was a bit out of tune with the jubilant atmosphere. Lilian smiled and went up to hug him, "Hi .”

Cesare's expression softened, "Hi."

"6——5——4——3——2——1—"

During the countdown to Times Square on the high-definition TV, the men, women and children at the party laughed and cheered. Jenny and her countdown partner, Lillian's cousin, a little boy in seventh grade, kissed each other on the cheek. She blushed and ran away, and Lilian also came over talking and laughing with Cesare—to be exact, she was the one talking and laughing, and Cesare was only responsible for walking along.

"Happy New Years, Jane!"

After everyone said Happy New Year to each other, Lilian said brightly, "To celebrate your first heroine, Chesa and I have prepared a gift for you—"

She looked at Cesare, and Cesare took out a small velvet box from his inner pocket and handed it to Jenny, "Congratulations."

"Thank you," Jenny said.

She opened the box and looked at the bright and shiny jewelry inside - this is a pair of beautiful platinum earrings, made of platinum, set with diamonds and hanging pearls, the style is very classic, and it is very expensive at a glance.

Another legacy of being a young mistress from a wealthy family is that she has dabbled in most luxury goods in the world, and her eyesight is not bad. Jenny said, "This is - Cartier's Himalia?"

Both Cesare and Lilian seemed a little surprised by her precise gaze, but of course they didn't say much. Cesare raised his glass to her, "From now on, you will have countless jewelries, Jefferson, my gift is just the beginning."

"Thanks," Jenny said, "I'm sure it's made of natural pearls, of course."

Lilian laughed, "Oh, yes, it's definitely made of natural pearls - put it on, honey, I bet your fake jewelry is already driving Chesa crazy."

"Really?" Jenny asked suspiciously, but still complied with Lilian's request, and smiled as she laughed and put on the pair of stud earrings. Cesare picked up her original pair of rhinestone stud earrings, Walk away, throw it in the trash, and walk back.

"Okay." He said, looking very satisfied with himself, he pointed in the direction of Bijenny, "Now, the world is perfect."

Jenny was not sure if he was joking for a while, but it was not until Lilian laughed wildly that she realized that he was really joking. He—Cesare Vijari was joking along with his girlfriend.

Besides, judging by the flickering smile in his eyes, her surprise and suspicion added to his pleasure.

"Okay, thank you for the gift." Jenny felt a little embarrassed, and she fought back, "I know it's expensive, definitely more expensive than all the rakes I brought you-but this doesn't change the fact , Cesare, counting the Jefferson just now, you already owe me three dollars."

She stretched out her hand, "I am willing to admit defeat, it is time to honor the gambling debt."

Generally speaking, when you attend your own party, you don't wear a wallet on your body. Lilian barely held back her laughter, obviously waiting for Cesare's reply. After all, with Cesare's strong personality, he would never be willing to be teased by Jenny.

Cesare thought for a moment, but asked politely, "Do you accept checks?"

The three of them looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while, until Jenny couldn't help but burst out laughing. Waves of laughter swept this small group. Lilian was laughing, Jenny was chuckling, Cesare—well, Cesare's eyes were laughing.

Fireworks were set off in the distance, and light and shadow swayed by the window. This window in Manhattan was like a picture frame, which framed this young moment in the night sky forever.

The author has something to say: Note: Cartier's earrings are pretty nice, you can search them, the price should be several thousand dollars.

PS About someone leaving a message at the bottom of this article saying plagiarism, I was too lazy to talk about it, but seeing some readers paying attention, it is difficult for me to reply to the comment successfully, so let me talk about it here.
