Hollywood Domination Chapter 454: Love acting

"And that's what you want, isn't it?" Jenny whispered, at a volume that only she and Zad—and maybe Cesare—could hear, looking down the hall at Joan. Well, Charles, watching Harry, watching the expressions on the faces of her important fans, and also Cesare's cautious blank face. In Jon's reprimand, all the negative emotions receded like a tide: all this has happened, no matter how reluctant she is, no matter how much she resists instinctively, it finally happened, just like paying for a card that has been delayed for many years. The credit card bills, the heartache—it was normal, but she also felt strangely refreshed and relieved, all the chaotic doubts and anger disappeared and turned into enlightenment. "So you let them stay - it's all in your plan. So you hand over the dv to them, isn't it, it's a ritual and you need them to do the final step."

Zade's smug chuckle blew in her ears, the gun—his gun was pressed against her back weakly, avoiding all vital parts, and Jenny tried to fiddle with the handcuffs with her fingers—she kept secretly Trying to break free from the hooks that hold the handcuffs or something, but so far with no success. "At the end of the day—you're still a smart girl, and I have to say, Cesare is no good at all for you—you really shouldn't hang out with him—and isn't it fun? Dear Yes, isn't this fun?"

The low-pitched conversation was over, and he raised his voice again, "So, then, let's talk about it, and justify yourself again—why do you get married in order to avoid taxes, can your marriage be bought out by money? What is the price tag for the performance at the Oscars, and the two default awards? How does it feel to play tricks on the audience?"

It's like a rock warm-up host who is fully in the state. He excitedly and willfully mobilizes the emotions of the audience. Jenny can almost see the emotional changes of Charles, Jon and Harry. Under the fanatical, fanatical and incendiary rhetoric, the situation is slipping in the direction he hoped: he expects Jennifer Jefferson's most loyal fans to end her, and let them hand in this video, one time at a time. to complete the ceremony. And the situation is slowly turning to Zade, there is no doubt that this is happening.

She glanced at Cesare again, trying to read his expression - he had something to say to her, that's for sure, but Zade and she shared the same perspective , which makes communication very inconvenient.

What is he trying to say? Jenny thought, since just now, he has been signaling her to look for opportunities in cooperation. After seeing Zade's hostility towards her, he kept silent knowingly, but still maintained a close posture, and even took the opportunity to draw closer. distance intent. If he doesn't have something to break the game, it's not wise to get so close, at least with a loaded gun pointed at her, and getting too close will only get her killed by Zade, or worse, by Cesare Death——so, he thought the situation was hopeful, and he was hiding some trump card, she just needed a chance.

And she must create this opportunity, before everything is irreversible, before Zade takes control of the situation—calling her bitch, whore, again and again... This man's superiority and self-righteous sense of superiority have already angered her, But now, after knowing his plan, the fear caused by the gun has long since disappeared: Zad will never use it lightly, except for Cesare - he needs the sympathy of the three of Charles, and it is impossible to shoot one, Arouse their confrontational psychology, that way, they may destroy the memory card, so that his plan will eventually fail.

Zade must focus on himself, and must control the psychology of the Charles trio...

In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts flew through my mind. Jenny lowered her eyes and trembled slightly—this is an emotional movement that Zade can feel. Of course, facial expressions are also important, but he may not be able to see them. get.

"Playing with the audience, telling lies, contracting love." She said, the more she talked, the more excited she became, and the real feelings were touched when she entered the play. "You asked me how I feel? Baby——"

Like a sudden emotional overload, she suddenly burst out laughing and yelled uncontrollably, "ss, that'sshowbiz, baby—don't you remember? Roxy's lines, this is showbiz , Edward, without these hypocrisy, lies, deception and use you say, how would you know me, Edward? How do you think I got Roxy? Huh? You think I don’t want to use my acting skills to conquer the world World, do you think I don't have this confidence?"

Her voice could almost lift the ceiling, Jon stared at her in shock, seemed involuntarily drawn into her mania, Zade squirmed uneasily behind her, Cesare still maintained Careful of the blank space, but Jenny could see it - in her 'crash' glance, she could see the hope in his eyes: good, Zade's response was good, keep pushing.

It was like a tangible wind blowing by, and as she shouted, the 'Qi' in the room was plundered from Zade to her side by bit. Although she had a gun in her hand, the initiative was moving Here she leans, and Jenny goes on to say, "You call me a vain whore, you call me an attention whore, and you're right—that's what we're talking about, Edward, this It’s the entire industry, ok? The entertainment industry is a creepy freak show! The whole of Hollywood is a bug that inhabits the global attention!”

Zade didn't speak, and the room fell into a terrible silence, only Jon's intermittent low moans and groans—like gasping after being beaten up several times, Cesare spoke slowly to her. Blinking: Zade has no tendency to go crazy, continue.

"*, dirty, full of pus, but like Capitol Hill, it can always occupy the best share of resources, which is not fair-yes, life is not fair, dealwithit," Jenny said coldly Said coldly, her tone revealed a bit of tiredness after excitement, a slight excitement secretly hit her heart: she had found a rhythm, for the first time after being held hostage, she felt that the situation was heading in a good direction, and she could control change of direction. "And you ask me why I do this, why do I have to arrange one show after another, fake marriages, fake relationships—you ask me this after I've already had three Oscars, thinking you can find my weakness— There is no shortage of money, no lack of power, why should I stay in the game?"

Zade's gun went up, and he seemed to want to speak, but Jenny just paused for a moment, and she said before him-she looked deeply into Jon's eyes, with 120,000 sincerity , said from the bottom of his heart, "Hasn't it ever occurred to you that the answer might really be so simple, Zade--it hasn't occurred to you, answers other than far-fetched vanity and liars--it hasn't occurred to you, I just—I just love acting so much?”

Zade let out a roar, he pushed her out hard, and Jenny was dragged back by the handcuffs in embarrassment, the plastic wire was strangled in her wrist, her hands were swollen and painful, but all of this Unable to stop Jon's expression from changing, the complicated expression of struggling gradually faded away, and relief emerged bit by bit, this simple girl, she is like an open book - and Zade has lost her , Jenny won the upper hand. Now that everything that should be said has been said, it is not so easy for him to get back.

Then comes the harder part - Zade only has the gun left and she really doesn't want him pushed to the point of pulling the trigger, but she can't stop and she has to go after it - Jenny see Looking at Cesare, hoping that he could give her some hints, but she only saw a signal from his face to let her continue—Zade may have been blinded by her, and she has not found a way yet, she must grasp the precious Chance.

As soon as Jenny gritted her teeth, she simply followed her instinct.

"I know what you want to do - you want to destroy me, mentally, physically, you want to destroy me completely," she said, "of course you don't want to die, if you can, You want to live to see all this, don't you, after a while, the police will rush in-they can't help it, and you want my most core fans to hand in evidence and ruin my career, Destroy your Jennifer - if no one in the world thinks I'm a good person anymore, if I'm ruined, you'll still want me, then I'll be yours, won't you? And you can sit in your cell Appreciate all this in a private room, anyway, you did not cause any casualties, it is impossible to be sentenced to death—”

"Who said I didn't cause anyone casualties?" Zade said, but his tone was a little weak-he intended to regain the initiative, but this time the attempt was failed and weak. "Maybe I don't have it now, but it doesn't mean I don't have this intention."

Jenny couldn't help showing a contemptuous smile—but something in Zade's words moved her heart: Although it sounded like a bluff, her intuition told her that Zade's words seemed to be somewhat sincere—— Maybe he really meant to take a life tonight.

"Oh, so you're still going to kill me after all," she said, following the feeling, thinking and saying, "Yes, you can't be that naive—although in your mind, this video is Destroy my murder weapon, it would leave me nowhere in your little ideal world, and I beg you to take it in. But you know, it's a dirty, shameless world, and this video— — far from ending me, isn't it? I can deny it, I can put it all on you, even if you have taken precautions, let me speak for myself, but you still have hints, I can say it's all My nonsense, I'm just speaking according to your heart—"

She laughed, a little horrified at what she had found, but at the same time caught that quirky sense of humor. "And you have already foreseen all this possibility, so, I guess...you are going to kill me, aren't you?"

Jon let out a suffocated exclamation, she seemed unable to maintain her standing position, and could only maintain her standing with Harry's support, while the two men were pale, precarious and overwhelmed, only Cesare There was no change in his expression, and Jenny glanced at him, wondering whether he had already seen this, "You plan to do it after the police come in, aren't you? When they get the dv and see Jon with their own eyes— Or after Charles handed over the dv, 'boom——'”

The muzzle of the gun against him was trembling slightly, and Jenny felt that Zade's excitement and his weakness were ignited at the same time. On the other hand, the picture she described made him excited and full of longing. "If you're lucky enough not to be shot dead--which is quite possible, by the way--at the speed of executions in California, you've got plenty of time to enjoy it all in your cell, don't you? Spread the word with the death The scandal that came - how did you destroy everything about me, my *, even the last shred of my existence: People's memories of me... Did everything just make you secretly happy? It's like playing the violin , with your rhetoric, you control me, you make me think that telling everything will save my life-maybe you will also coax Charles to end this with 'submit evidence to end this', one last lie- Then I will destroy everything with my own hands.”

The horrified expressions of the trio seemed to confirm her guess, oh, Zade's expression must be quite exciting now, he must be very panicked now, thinking hard about a counterattack strategy. Jenny couldn't help laughing: These people always seem to be like this. When the situation is favorable, their performance is brilliant and seems unstoppable, but once the situation changes, they suddenly change people, and it is difficult to regain their advantage.

"And you know what amuses me?" she said softly, as dismissively as possible, "Edward, what amuses me?—you really think a video like this can Destroy me, such a question will scare me, you really think my reluctance just now is from the heart, not a game to trick you-in fact, you are not that smart, are you, Edward?"

Zade let out a vague growl, and Cesare's eyes flashed with worry. Jenny knew that she was a little too excited, but she continued to push forward, and with a chuckle, she continued, "The truth Yes, seriously, you can just release the footage, even the evidence you have - edward, I don't really care. Stuff like this can't destroy me, edward, I have a lawyer, I have a pr team, I can do it There are more and bigger things than you think-"

There is no need to deliberately pretend, she said confidently, "In fact, this may be a good thing, letting all the lies be exposed, but it will allow me to move forward with less burden."

She knew Zad would take her word for it, because she was so sincere—and it was her sincerest thought, now that the bill was paid—and seriously, she was out of it now So what if all this is exposed because of its hidden motives? After this life-and-death adventure, to be honest, at least at this moment, she didn't even bother to think about it.

Lost the video, lost control over Charles and the others, all the chips were cashed out one by one, she could feel Zade's muzzle trembling, even his breathing, his whole being—— Doubt, he has lost his position, and Jenny tried her best to calm her heartbeat, ruled out all emotional fluctuations, and grasped this opportunity with detached calm—

"But none of this is so interesting—" she said softly. "The funniest thing, Edward, is that you've done so much for me, you know so much, you hold my career in your hands, And my life and death, at this moment, there is no doubt that you want to be my master, you want to possess me, and leave an eternal imprint on my life—"

She made her tone more arrogant, more ruthless, and more mocking: "—but you never had the courage to show your face in front of me."

Maybe it's the expression on Zade's face, maybe it's his contemptuous tone, the panic and fear on the faces of Charles, Jon, and Harry are getting heavier, and Jon is winking at her desperately, as if trying to She restrained herself, but Cesare didn't say anything. His shoulders relaxed and his eyes were calm, as if he was ready for what happened next.

And how angry Zade is—oh, god, how angry he is, this sentence hits his soft spot completely, his breath is heavy in her ear, like a beast He roared intermittently, but his words were vague and incoherent. Jenny ignored him, and she said loudly, "And I have never remembered your face——Edward, isn't this funny? Is it? I only met Charles, Jon and Harry a few times, but I remember them, and you? Only blank, maybe the next second you will shoot me dead, but before you die, your The face is still blank."

Amid Zade's roar, she laughed and said, "Isn't this the funniest, funniest, funniest--"

"Shut your mouth!" Zad pushed her out, but quickly grabbed her plastic handcuffs, and Jenny's words seemed to help him make up his mind - Jenny could feel the firmness in his words : All he has left is this gun—he can only use it to accomplish his goal, even though it is so inconsistent with her original intention and unsatisfactory, but only in this way can everything be brought to an end.

The wrist is released, the plastic handcuff is still there, but the thing that was holding it before - whatever it is, is released, and she is pushed a few steps roughly, Zade uses one hand to control her, Holding the gun in the other hand without any doubt, his voice was low and dangerous, and he regained his confidence: "Turn around and look at me."

Jenny glanced at Cesare, but time was too fast to convey the message - she turned away.

Zade held up the gun, aiming at her chest, his ordinary face wrinkled into a ball, mixed with fanaticism, anger and satisfaction, making his expression complicated and messed up, he was even a little nervous because he was too excited Stuttering, "Remember, this, this, this, this, this is——"

Jenny looked at him deeply, without taking his eyes off, and she realized that this might be the last scene she saw before she died-he was about to shoot after this sentence-it was purely her own death , all the way to stimulate Zade to this point——

But at the same time, for the first time tonight, she was also free.

Praying vaguely in her heart that the tacit understanding between Cesare and her would not fail, Jenny took a deep breath, reviewed all the common sense of gunfights she knew, and mobilized all her motor cells——

She suddenly turned to the left, kicked, and slid all the way down the stairs.

Screams, roars, and loud gunshots buzzed back and forth in the room. Jenny lost her balance halfway, and the hands tied behind her tripped her, causing her to bump all the way down in great pain. They were all beaten in severe pain, dizzy and nauseous——

#

"ohmygod, my*inggod," Jon said softly as she caught up with Jennifer - who basically rolled down the stairs and is now clearly slumped and on the ground Can't get up at all. "Are you all right, are you all right—*!*! I—I need a pair of scissors!—a table knife!"

Charles is still standing stupidly behind the DV, while Harry has already caught up with the stairs, Jon stands on tiptoe and looks upstairs——Cesare Vijari stands there firmly, looking at Zade She kept pulling the trigger in the same direction, and the sound of the gun was still ringing, steady and mechanical—she had an uncomfortable feeling, she felt as if she was seeing brains.

"Charles, Charles!" She drew back again, almost instinctively hugged Jenny's head and neck, put it on her knees and fixed it, and called to the companion on the other side, "Go find a table knife—she handcuffs - Charles!"

Charles was still staring at the front blankly, as if he hadn't reacted yet, but the loud siren sounded outside the window made everyone alert, and he also came back to his senses, and ran to Jenny, "ohgod , ohgod—is she all right?"

Jon had already touched Jenny all over her body, and she held up her hand to Charles, "I didn't get hit—just fell into a daze, I really need a knife now, her hand—"

But she didn't finish, because the sound of the siren seemed to have awakened the two people on the steps, and Cesare rushed to them in stride, and took Jennifer over without any explanation, "Is she okay? She wasn't hurt Right?"

"Shouldn't have been hit." Jon said, there was a vague shout from outside the house, and she looked outside the house in a daze - before that, she really didn't realize that there might be many people outside the house Pay attention to everything here—the whole world has shrunk into this room just now. "That's—"

"Police," Harry said, bending over to check too, while Jennifer groaned a few times and slowly opened her eyes, apparently trying to prop herself up. "The gunshot must have alarmed them—are you all right, Jennifer? Do you feel any pain?"

Jennifer shook her head, she looked around, "Edward—"

"He is no longer a problem." Cesare said in a cold tone, he stopped Jennifer's movements, put his hands behind her to support her, and softened his voice again, "Don't be afraid, you behaved Very good - shh, don't talk, it's over, he won't hurt you anymore -"

"I... want to vomit..." Jenny said with difficulty, and shrank into Cesare's arms, "Hands hurt..."

Jon stared blankly at this scene, and she had a vague feeling—Cesare and Jennifer seemed to be undisturbed by outsiders, but what happened just now made her exhausted, she slid to the ground, propped up The ground let out a long breath: Yes, everything is over.

'Bang, bang, bang! ’

The loud noise made her jump, she stood up in a panic and looked around, and Harry made a soothing gesture to her.

"It's the police knocking on the door—" he said. "Shh, don't worry, they're the ones who care about what's going on.”

Jon breathed a sigh of relief, and her shoulders slumped. She patted her face lightly, frowned at the sticky touch, and walked towards the door—but was soon pulled away by Harry return. "What? You didn't mean the police—"

As Harry looked in a certain direction with meaningful eyes, she suddenly realized, and gave a soft 'oh' - "dv..."

'Bang! boom! boom! ’ There was another knock on the door, followed by the rustle of a loudspeaker, “Is everything ok? Are there any casualties? Count down tens of seconds, no response, frontal breakthrough, 10, 9, 8— "

Jon's gaze was drawn to the dv, and countless complicated thoughts and emotions flashed through her mind. She couldn't help but look at Harry and James——

None of the three of them intended to go to open the door, but they all looked in the direction of Jenny and Cesare almost reflexively.

——However, Cesare was bending down to take care of the dazed Jennifer, whispering in her ear, he seemed to have completely forgotten about this fatal dv.
