Hollywood Domination Chapter 386: When to Divorce

"Although many people have said it in the press conference just now, I still have to congratulate you. "Code Shero" is really a very successful movie. You seem to have a magical power, Jennifer, who has never Missed the movie pick. What do you think of people saying you have a good instinct, j.j?"

"Thank you for your compliment. I think intuition is really helpful. Of course, none of us hope that we will choose a bad movie. It can even be said that there is no Hollywood movie that aims at bad movies when it is in preparation. , Even a B-grade movie will have its own pursuit, but filmmaking is risky, so it is true that sometimes picking a movie requires some intuition, and I am lucky, so far My intuition has always been accurate.”

"I think intuition is just one point, at least it is not the only factor in "Code Shero", because this is a movie where you act as producer and co-creator, in a sense, you can directly affect the movie quality, because you are also the biggest funder."

"Yes, you are right to say that, we did a lot to control the quality of this movie."

"It's the second film you've produced on your own, the first "Week with Monroe" was a good one, but it's still an art film at the end of the day, and making these two films Is there a difference in your experience?"

"It's quite different. "Monroe" is closer to a movie in the traditional sense. Salvi prefers live-action shooting. He is not so keen on green screens. The special effects of "Code Shero" are the most important part. Some shots were done in front of the green screen, or live-action combined with special effects, which is very important. Of course, Joss and Salvi have very different personalities. They are both very good people and a pleasure to work with, but If there is a disagreement, Joss will be more communicative, while Salvi will stick to his own opinion and will not give in for the sake of 'this kind of shooting may be more popular'."

"Yes, "Monroe" is more like an art film, you can feel the director's desire to confide, but "Codename Shero" is very obviously a commercial action movie, you are the only one since the new millennium An actor who can straddle two fields and achieve great success at the same time, especially in recent years, the whirlwind you have brought in the art film field is dazzling. It can be said that you are the only one who can make a female biographical film a global 8 How does it feel to walk between these two types of movies for an actress with a figure of 100 million?"

“It’s true that coordination is sometimes a problem, like I’ve been preparing for Salvi’s new film for the past few months, when you’ve put yourself into the character and become someone else, I’m back for the premiere , I think it will take a long time for me to readjust and enter the state after I return to the set.”

"That's a big question, but there's no way we're going to drop the premiere, right? It wouldn't be a premiere without you lol--then that might be a tricky question, but I I still have to ask, generally speaking, your commercial film is of great significance to your production company Dream Entertainment. It is like a multi-directional interface, linking several aspects of your business together. And art films—utilitarianly speaking, the benefits to you mainly lie in the awards. Of course, I am talking about material things, but I think the reason why you accept the script is still very simple, that is whether you like the story, So, among these two types of movies, which one do you prefer? In the future, will you consider focusing on it, or as it is now, the two types of movies are one a year, and develop in an all-round way?"

"I see what you mean, that's a -- good question, of course with your limited time, you have to choose, but it's really hard for me, both movies have The charm of it, Codename Shero is a world created by me and Joss, if you know what I mean - there is no doubt that more people like it than art movies, and their This kind of love is also very sincere, and it also has a high sense of pleasure and feedback in terms of creation. But there are some characters in art movies, and acting the characters themselves can make you feel a sense of accomplishment. This system is self-sufficient, and There is no difference between these two models, and it is inevitable that people will not be able to choose.”

"But your energy and time are limited."

"Yes, but the total amount of things you can do is always limited. Every creative process is very personal and long. It is impossible for you to shoot "Code Shero" here today and fly to The set of "Life Odyssey", this is irresponsible."

"You are also a wife and the chairman of the company."

"Yes, you also bear the rest of the responsibility."

"Would you use responsibility to describe your marriage to Cesare? - Sorry, I know this question is a bit inappropriate, but since this is not our first interview, I have to say something in my heart Words: For a married woman, you really have a lot of responsibilities. You know, celebrities will have a certain degree of production reduction after marriage, especially celebrity couples, they often agree not to take jobs at the same time—"

"But Cesare and I have been working 24/7, haven't we?"

"Yeah, you guys seem to be separated a lot, so there are definitely some rumors of estrangement, but - of course, I saw your eye contact at the press conference too, it's good for those rumors Hit back..."

"Actually, I don't like to talk about my private life, but unfortunately, people are always very interested in your private life-haha, but I don't mean to blame you, maybe because we have always been like this The way of getting along, including him himself, is also very busy. Even though we are all in Los Angeles, we don’t spend much time together, so this mode is indeed no problem now. I think when to have a baby is a matter of letting nature take its course, and there is no need to be with the public. On par, isn't it? When your life is already very alienated, insisting on being the same as everyone is actually a kind of pressure, and we have enough pressure."

"Yes, it makes sense, let's turn the topic back to the movie. Is there any interesting story during the filming that you can share? Can you tell me how many parts of the fight scenes use doubles? ——Here is really There are a lot of really cool scenes that look like you're the real person."

"I have been training for this movie for a long time. I completed almost all the iconic shots by myself, but with the help of special effects. The scene where Kelly fights by the door is the result of fast forwarding and special effects. In reality There is a stunt rope to help me do it, but there are some faceless scenes, especially the difficult somersaults in the factory, the splits, it is done by a double, I have a really good double from China, she used to be an acrobat .”

"How do you rate Zachary Quinto?"

"When will the next film start? Will it still be directed by Joss?"

"Can you give me some exclusive news about Josh's role in the next movie?"

"Name three things Kelly likes."

"What kind of girl is Kelly in your understanding."

"What kind of boy would Kelly like?"

After the press conference, the crew divided into several places and took turns accepting exclusive interviews from several media, some were profound and serious, some were funny, and some were relaxed. This is also a major feature of the promotional period. During the screening, there will be countless media asking Jenny and other creative staff thoroughly about every aspect of the film. After spending an hour to deal with all the media, the work of the premiere is not over yet—all Everyone hurried to the party by car, where a large number of family and friends were waiting to celebrate with them and congratulate the premiere of "Code Shero" which received rave reviews.

"j.j, that's awesome, save me a cameo if there's a sequel."

"Will Chris play the villain in the third episode?"

"If there is no Chris, let me act, I am willing to do it for you--"

Of course, the moment Jenny arrived, she became the center of the audience. Even relatives and friends who were present because of Joss and others, no one wanted to have a good relationship with her—if it was said that before Jenny, who mainly works as a producer for her own film, is not so attracted to her peers, and if she feels a little more like an enemy, now Jennifer, who has at least ten big-produced films, is not so attracted to her peers, whether it is for actors, directors or Screenwriters and producers have all the advantages, who doesn't want job opportunities? Especially the opportunity in the hands of this gold medal producer who must explode every time? They have just made a subversive and unpopular subject, which revitalizes this field that no one dares to easily set foot in, and even inspires the entire industry.

"Hey j.j, congratulations, that was a really good movie."

"You've almost defeated me—seriously, I have the urge to hand over "Avatar 2" to you at the helm, how about it, are you interested?"

"Fuck you, Jim, stop kidding me—"

For Jenny, her interpersonal relationship must be prioritized. After arriving at the scene and saying hello to everyone, she went to drink and chat with Cameron and Spielberg for a while. Mellon wanted to thread the needle and promote cooperation, and Jenny naturally agreed—not to mention anything else, but Spielberg's reputation and connections are enough for her to rely heavily on. The biggest problem for Dameng now is in the circle. The foundation is still shallow, except for the contacts brought by Cesare's blood, it is almost an exchange of benefits, and basically has no advantage in emotional points. If he can become Spielberg's best friend, he will be accepted by the Olympic Academy in the future. treatment will be better. ——And after she personally sent the two big guys to the door (the two stayed here to wait for her, otherwise, in terms of status, they would not have participated in such a party at all), she will naturally have to compete with the current production The main creators of several projects chatted. They have been away from home for the past few months, and they basically couldn't get in touch. Now it's time to make up lessons.

Of course, a great director like Ang Lee will not stay for long. Jenny's first stop was at the "Fast and Furious" crew. Of course, Johnson, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Justin Lin and others couldn’t help congratulating, especially Vin Diesel, who is also the producer himself, was even more excited, “This movie made me completely I understand what you said, 'it's unrealistic in reality', right? Of course, it's not about Kelly getting super powers later, but about the fighting before, it's impossible not to see through it at a glance, but The kind of impossibility that seems feasible.”

They are experts in fighting, of course they understand how impossible it is for Kelly to strangle a strong man with her legs, and Jenny also laughed, "Yes, that's what we're talking about, I think it's also The trend of the future, in this era of information explosion, people's pursuit of heroes and stereotypes are also changing-I watched your samples, and this is the feeling, especially the chase scene..."

Talked a few words about work, cheered up the boys, and the topic gradually turned to small talk. Dwayne Johnson became very interested in Jenny's intuition—especially when he was selected for "Fast and Furious 5", which was handpicked by Jenny As a result, as soon as the news of Dameng and Universal's co-development of the sequel came out, it immediately attracted a frenzy of resumes from many agents, and he was directly invited without even auditioning, and the salary was very generous. It is said that this is because A quote from Jenny, 'I have a gut feeling that he's the best candidate'.

"Yes, that's what I really told Georgia." Jenny said, and everyone laughed, "It's really my intuition."

"So the legends are all true," Jennifer Bell, who had come to support her as a matter of course, had already come over. Because of intuition?"

"That's the common choice of rational analysis and intuition," Jenny smiled, "but it doesn't work all the time, it's more like a gift, sometimes there are some strong thoughts, but sometimes My head is empty, I have no clue, that’s how I feel about “Code Shero”, I don’t have any feeling, and I don’t know if it’s a masterpiece until it’s done.”

"Is this feeling limited to movies?" Paul Walker asked curiously, his blue eyes looked at Jenny innocently. "And there are other things too-if you can have an intuition about stocks, you should be able to make a lot of money."

"Sometimes there will be." Jenny said, "It doesn't appear in the stock market--now you have a kind of intuition."

"What is it?" Paul, who was a little drunk, immediately became excited, and asked one after another, and the people around him fell silent dramatically, "Is it about my next movie? What should I do?"

"No," Jenny hesitated, but still decided to strike while the iron was hot - she has always been a fan of "Fast and Furious", "it's about you and the car - I have a feeling that you should not continue to drive Porsche, otherwise something bad will happen.”

No matter which country it is, the entertainment industry is a little more chaotic and superstitious than the normal industry. After all, career life in this industry is closely linked to luck, especially when Jenny, who has almost become a legend in Chengdu, said it herself. If it is said, the intimidation effect is greater. Paul and Fan both took a breath, and did not laugh it off toughly, but showed a dubious expression. Lin Yibin on the one side was even more serious. Can't it? Just sitting in it won't work? Dangerous moves are done by doubles."

"It shouldn't be a problem for filming, it's fine if you don't drive it after work is over," Jenny said with some persuasion, "Of course, this is just my feeling, but there's no need to be too risky, isn't it? It's just a Porsche, you There are still plenty of cars to drive."

"Yeah, Paul," said Jennifer Bell, as always, who read people's faces, and she was also the one who knew how to read Jenny's mind best among all the people present-this could be heard from her agreeing tone, "Even if It sounds a bit bluffing, but there is no need to try and make mistakes with your life, right?"

"Of course, of course." Paul also realized the atmosphere of the scene, he smiled and took a sip of wine, "It's just a brand - I don't even particularly like Porsche."

Jenny took the topic away with a smile. She could feel Paul's thoughtful eyes still circling her, and she could only sigh in her heart: For Paul, she can only do so much, at most in the future Making a few more phone calls to remind, just like Heath, whether it can change the future is still unknown.

Premiere, press conference, afterparty... Even for Jenny, the schedule for this day was quite full. When the afterparty finally came to an end, she declined the invitation to renew the booth. Finally, she boarded the nanny car home with Cesare—almost as soon as she got in the car, she took off her high heels and slumped on the car seat without any image, "*, I'm so tired, Thinking of making such a trip at least three more times, I-I-I'm jealous that you don't have to go to London and Beijing!"

"If you think I'm doing nothing in Los Angeles, you're welcome to be jealous." Also after a night of socializing, Cesare didn't feel tired at all, almost as soon as he got in the car, he opened his laptop , browsed the webpage. "Well—"

"How about the media feedback?" Jenny half leaned up and asked.

"The specific film reviews haven't been released yet, but almost all of them are positive reports..." Cesare's eyebrows gathered a little, "But there are still some people who use the things that you didn't answer the relationship questions positively to make an article and concocted a few articles Reports of divorce suspicions.”

"*." Jenny cursed. The thought of taking time out of her busy schedule to put out public relations fires made her feel a little annoyed, "Are you going to post a posing again? You have to see what my schedule and yours are. The time can fit—"

"Indeed, if you don't want to expand the report, it is necessary to use street photos to fight back..." Cesare's tone was somewhat reserved. He looked at Jenny and then at the computer, as if he was in deep thought What.

"What?" Jenny asked curiously, "What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking..." Cesare's expression was a bit strange, he said slowly, "Should we consider the timing of divorce?"
