Hollywood Domination Chapter 53: Black humor
"Gore is in marriage counseling." As soon as Jenny picked up the phone, Cesare said in a deep voice, "According to gossip, his marriage is in jeopardy, and the two sides are preparing for the upcoming divorce battle." Be prepared, once marriage counseling fails, the next step will definitely be divorce proceedings. Mrs. Verbinski specifically stipulated in the prenuptial agreement that if Gore's infidelity leads to the breakdown of the marriage, he will pay one million dollars for each infidelity. "
Of course Jenny knows about Gore Verbinski's career. Before that, he made a lot of money from filming music videos, and the box office of several films he directed were decent. Ten million, the box office in North America was 120 million, and the world's more than 200 million made money. However, it has only been a few years since he transitioned to become a director. His net worth may not be tens of millions. If he has been caught cheating before If it is not the case, a fine plus a normal home, Gore may have to leave the house, or owe money to his ex-wife.
"This way everything makes perfect sense." Jenny stared at the ceiling, really feeling that the world was back on track. She now also understands why Cesare was so puzzled that day. This is like a math problem. According to the formula, the answer is 80%, but the reality is that it gives an irrelevant -1 , he didn't care about failure, he just couldn't find where his mistakes were. "Gore doesn't appear to be proud of his self-control."
Of course, Cesare didn't catch Jenny's stalk after a layer of translation. Of course, he also had a little excitement. Now Jenny can skillfully distinguish the traces of emotion from his voice. "Gore's a smart guy, and it's no surprise that he's making that decision—but it's good news for us, now that we've got this specific problem to work on."
"Would you mind flying to New York now and playing a guest role as my infatuated boyfriend?" Jenny asked tentatively.
Cesare refused without hesitation, "CAA does not allow managers to fall in love with artists. Of course, the scandal will not affect anything, but it is impossible for me to publicly play your boyfriend."
He paused, "Besides, I don't recommend you adopt the boyfriend strategy. You should know that this is nothing in Hollywood, especially Al Gore."
Jenny also found that there was something wrong with her thinking. Gore and Verbinski can maintain a stable relationship in marriage. How could she expect him to believe that she would treat him because of the **** of a romantic relationship? Strict defense? Now it is clear that the relationship between the two is strong and weak. Gore knows that Jenny wants something from him, so it is unlikely that he will refuse his request. For example, Gore is a dog lover and Jenny is a cute puppy. Gore doesn't trust himself to not touch Jenny during the dog walk, and he doesn't believe that if he does, even his teeth will be damaged. Adorable puppies who are not fully grown will bite him. ——And once he reaches out to touch it, he will face a high fine, so the best way is of course not to put the puppy with him.
What Jenny is discussing with Cesare now is how to convince Gore that she is a sharp-mouthed puppy who has no interest in him, and at the same time use his cuteness for puppies to obtain the role, so that Gore sneaked her around for a while—at least to auditions, where she at least had a relatively fair chance.
"Just tell him I'm not interested in him, even if he wants to sleep with me, I won't let him succeed?" Jenny asked herself, "No, even if he didn't intend to sleep with me, it will damage him self-esteem, which made him lose his affection for me and reduce his desire to recommend me for auditions, and it didn’t solve the root of the problem: his interest in me.”
"I can't suddenly get married now, can I?" she asked Cesare, "or lie to Gore in private, telling him that I am a **** who has no interest in men? If it is only for a short period of time, I am It can be done, as long as the words are vague, he should not feel that I am lying to him afterwards."
"I think you don't know enough about men's sexuality and psychology." Cesare replied, "In my opinion, if you tell him that you are a lesbian, Gore will only be more excited and think about it in his mind." A Girlonggirlaction between you and another blonde beauty."
Jenny was 'unexpectedly speechless' to this, and Cesare pondered for a moment before revealing his plan. "Tell him you're a devout evangelical Christian."
"Me what?" Jenny raised her voice.
"Evangelical Christian," Cesare said, "you are on vacation today, go and buy a sterling silver ring to wear on your left ring finger, that will be your chastity ring. Tell the salesperson what you want to buy, and they will buy it for you." You found it."
Neither Chen Zhen nor the original owner Jenny knows much about American belief culture. First, the original owner Jenny is not interested. Secondly, in the environment she lives in, the only intersection between people and religion is to go to church to receive orders during the holidays. Free food, she sat up in bed, turned on the computer, "Wait, can you spell the word evangelical for me?"
Cesare let out a sigh of tolerance, "You can research the details on the Internet later, I know you are certainly not a virgin, but you just need to lie to Gore for a few days and tell him that you are a devout chastity believer , a lifetime of love, for the love of chastity, you will only replace this ring with the wedding ring at the wedding ceremony. In other words, if someone intends to... pick you this flower (Defloweryou) before marriage, then he will I have to embrace the determination to marry you, otherwise you will definitely not be able to let it go."
"Will it work?" Jenny asked incredulously, "Will he believe it? No, the most important thing is will it work?"
Of course she is not a virgin. The original owner Jenny has a healthy and active **** life. As for Chen Zhen, she even has a child. Not to mention, she feels that lying about this kind of thing is quite easy to be seen through, after all It's easy to see if you don't know anything about this kind of thing.
"You are only 21 years old this year, as long as your acting skills are good enough, why wouldn't he believe it?" Cesare asked back, "As for whether it will be useful, as long as he believes it, it will be useful. You are not a man, Wouldn't know there's nothing more spoiling than an inexperienced virgin who values virginity more than anything else. Evangelical virgins hardly ever have a healthy dating life unless Internal solution, otherwise they will all be people with difficult marriages.”
Jenny feels a strong sense of absurdity. As far as she knows, in the far east, even in 2014, there are countless people, even women, who have a strong virgin complex. Of course, based on years of patriarchy, virgins . Male complex is relatively rare.
"Are you sure?" For some reason, she was a little unwilling. "Even if I'm so pretty?"
"For a guy like Gore and the situation he's in right now, he'd rather have an 80-point **** than a 100-point virgin." Cut Saree answered in the affirmative.
Well, this is probably the most significant difference in sexual culture between the East and the West. Chen Zhen can also know from the memory of the original owner Jenny that what Cesare said is probably true. In Jenny's high school social circle, any girl who was still a virgin by the twelfth grade was almost reduced to a laughing stock among her friends. Even if most people don’t have a partner at this age, they will choose a good friend to experience and explore the mysteries of **** together, so the school has been promoting the importance of safety, sex, and behavior—thankfully, the original owner Jenny listened, Although her sexual life was very active, all activities were carried out under the protection of condoms, and there were no unspeakable unexpected consequences.
Anyway, for most normal people in Hollywood with normal mental health, no matter how beautiful the person who bundles their first marriage with their marriage is, their **** appeal should be close to zero. Although Cesare’s trick It's ridiculous, but I have to say, at least it's worth a try.
"Okay." After some inexplicable struggles, Jenny agreed, "It seems that today will be spent in surprise study."
"You are safe." Cesare reassured her, "Among the topics that Gore would want to discuss with you, evangelical Christianity should be at the bottom."
Even so, Jenny is still used to making all the preparations. She spent a short time going to Fifth Avenue to buy a chastity ring, and then spent the whole afternoon studying some evangelical teachings, so that at least some people can come up with some common sense When it comes to sexual issues, she will not be incapable of talking.
While eagerly absorbing boring religious knowledge, Jenny felt ridiculous from the bottom of her heart: Of course she knew that the showbiz was not as simple as it was shown to the outside world, and some of her classmates back then took the initiative to get roles It is an unwritten rule in the industry to dive into other people, 'these things are nothing serious', but even so, Jenny did not expect that in Hollywood, getting an audition is such an intricate intellectual game, logic, Big data, financial analysis and even psychology all have their place, but the role of * is negligible.
However, even with this strategy, she is not very optimistic about the situation tonight. Jenny has already decided that Gore is obsessed with her. She has seen "Pirates of the Caribbean" and Gore wants to recommend the female pirate played by Ann The role is about the same as Kitty in "Chicago". Even if Rob is in charge of the details, choosing her as Kitty probably only took an hour or two of consideration. Gore has performed for so many days in a row—— She is narcissistic, but Jenny thinks he can only come to see her.
This can't be regarded as a completely bad thing in the past. A director with not too little right to speak is obsessed with her, which at least means some good opportunities, but under this particular background, Jenny has no idea what will happen After all, neither Cesare nor Jenny can fully grasp Gore's psychology. Even if Cesare's eyes and ears were sharp enough to find out the inside story of Gore's married life in one night, he would never be able to remotely control Jenny to win. Even if—even if they succeeded in reassuring Gore, would Gore see her as a good fit for Pirates of the Caribbean? Will he give her this audition?
Jenny doesn't know, she can only trust Cesare's judgment: the heroine of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is currently the most suitable role for her to play, and she is also one of the most suitable actresses to play "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Different from the past, Jenny admits that she is indeed preparing carefully for tonight's party—but unlike the usual purpose of women's careful dressing up, her goal tonight is by no means to impress the audience, but to make herself subtly Temperament mediocre, not so conspicuous. Already Gore had seen her radiant side, now it was time to convince him that Jenny was anything but an aggressive carnivore princess in her day-to-day life.
In order to match her newly released 'evangelical pious believer' status, she wore a conservative long-sleeved round-neck dress. Except for the Cartier earrings and the chastity ring given by Cesare + Lilian, everything is dusty, and even the bag is very low-key. When Jenny came to Ann's apartment, she was laughed at kindly by many colleagues, "It seems that some people have been frightened by gossip magazines, and they are going to give up all their sexual attraction to avoid gossip."
Jenny has long thought about how to spread her "Vow of Chastity". She came tonight with a set of strategies. Zhen, and then directly talked about the audition-this is a bit too contemptuous of Gore's IQ.
"I don't have any more options." She let out a 'gloomy' breath, holding up her left hand to let everyone see her new jewelry, "Look, I have to spend hundreds of dollars on one of these to protect My reputation."
Women are always irresistible to things that shine—gay is the same. A group of people immediately rushed to see her ring, and someone read out the engraving, "Pure & Love, Jenny! I didn't know you still kept your virginity vows." Advocate."
"It's not something to brag about, is it?" Jenny said 'reluctantly', "I mean, in LA and here we virgins are as rare as giant pandas, I don't want to be the one talking about Object, but now those scandals are a bit too much.”
Of course, this is big gossip. The crowd obviously suppressed their excitement, and a few people stayed with her to lament the unscrupulousness of the media, "Of course, it's also because your manager is so hot. Said, in front of him, James is useless..."
But Jenny saw that the previous audience had dispersed to all corners of the party, and they began to whisper to their friends, and there were more eyes cast from all angles in the room than before.
Very well, the bait has been thrown out, and whether the fish can take the bait can only be left to God's will.
After chatting for a while, Jenny took a glass of wine and went to greet the host. Ann pulled her aside as soon as she met, "Jane, I heard a ridiculous rumor—"
Jenny couldn't help but raise her hand to confirm that the rumor was not absurd, and Ann's eyes widened even wider than before, "Uh... I have to say, I was very surprised by this incident?"
After a while, she introduced Jenny to Jude Law, and told her that Jude also watched their "Chicago", but Jude Law treated Jenny very politely and praised her a few words Retired politely because of his acting skills. Judging from An's rich expression, if it weren't for her earth-shattering 'Vow of Chastity', Jude Law would definitely be much more enthusiastic towards her tonight than he is now.
In his previous life, Chen Zhen liked this handsome British man who valued acting skills and handsomeness very much. 2002 was also his prime and most beautiful age. It may be a pity not to be able to 'Deflower' Jude Law, but right now she is only delighted by his indifference: Well, it seems that her 'virginity' has successfully scared away a potential 419 suitor, which is very important to her Good news for the target.
All parties in the world are old three, whether it is a celebrity party on the Upper East Side, a middle-class party on Long Island, or an artist party in Soho, it is essentially a group of people drinking wine (and sometimes hookah bottle) get together and chat. Jenny deliberately stayed in a conspicuous place tonight, by the floor-to-ceiling windows that she could see as soon as she entered the door. She and many curious colleagues explained the ins and outs of the new ring: Her beliefs made her dislike the media's story about her love life , making up random things, so she decided to use the ring to declare her determination to be steadfast.
After more than a month, her vigilance in social situations gradually decreased. She watched the waiter pour out this glass of wine, so Jenny would take a sip when she got dry from the conversation. Finding a rare free time, she turned around and looked at the night in Lower Manhattan. Ann's apartment was near Chinatown, and the colorful neon lights gave her the illusion that she was in Hong Kong.
"Hi." Someone greeted behind her.
Jenny turned around, and for a moment she even stopped breathing, but soon, she controlled herself, and with the highest level of acting skills she could achieve, she raised her eyebrows 'curiously', saying " Do I know you' attitude greeting, "Hi?"
The stranger held out his hand to her, "Nice to meet you, Jennifer."
He said, with an unnatural indifference, "I am Agata's friend Gore."
The author has something to say: Khan, let me explain, Jenny is not a heartthrob, it can only be said that Cesare's marketing vision is more accurate. It is precisely because Gore likes Jenny's type that he thinks that selling Jenny to Gore has a good chance of success.
Also, the time has now reached March and April of 2002.
