Hollywood Domination: The first gossip
"Lost in Translation", "Girl with a Pearl Earring", "I Love You Most"...Why did she think so beautiful at the time? .
Two nights have passed, and Jenny still hasn't decided on a strategy to persuade Cesare. What's worse, after research, she finds that she is not sure of winning the competition of these three films. The leading actresses of this film are Scarlett Johansson (Tokyo, Earrings) and Zooey Deschanel. Both of them were powerful actresses when Chen Zhen traveled through in 2014. Now in 2002, Scarlett, who was born as a child star, has already been nominated for an award, and has the experience of starring in literary films. Although "The Horse Whisperer" has mixed reviews, her performance has been praised. To make matters worse, Jenny called Jim, and found out that Scarlett is also an actress of CAA, and is now being fully trained by the company. Compared with the resources she got, Jenny has these Very little to show for it. Although she is three years younger than Jenny and is only 19 years old this year, she is not only Jenny's predecessor on the road of acting, but also has gone much further than her.
Analyzing objectively, Scarlett has awards, acting skills, qualifications, and is also very beautiful, and has been affirmed by the critics. So far, she has acted in several literary films, and only one well-received drama It's actually very reluctant for Jenny to compete with her for "Lost in Translation" or "Girl with a Pearl Earring".
As for Zooey Deschanel, she comes from an acting family. Her father is an Oscar-nominated director, and her mother is an actress. She entered the industry in 1998. Up to now, she has played important supporting roles in various films. Yes, there are many classic films among them, such as "Almost Famous" that Chen Zhen watched, this is the second generation of directors, and there is currently a lack of a film for her to turn into a starring role. Jenny is confident that she is more beautiful than her, but in terms of She is not as good in connections and qualifications.
——What Cesare didn't mention is that among the 550 small-production films every year, the competition for those films with better appearance is not less than that of the heroines of large-scale productions...
Although I haven't figured out how to get the roles in these two films for the time being, and of course I can't talk about convincing Cesare, but life still has to go on, and work has to continue. Jenny still starred in "Chicago" step by step , continue her cooperation with Ann.
Speaking of musicals, the collision between the two of them has been unanimously praised by the critics of the major columns. The New York Times' Brantley'Verma is very good, but Roxy is even better. ' as the headline, the "Chicago" is finally flawless" as the title of the "New York Post", and praised Jenny's performance in the drama reviews. Brantley even showed his true colors as a "Jennifer fan", and praised in the drama review, "Stimulated by the new blood from London, our American beauty Jennifer finally broke out her full charm, Ann Benson's Velma is almost perfect, but Jennifer Jefferson's Roxy is even more eye-catching. This girl's terrifying explosiveness and potential make people even frightened. The actor mourns'...
Compared to the restrained praise last time, this time's praise is almost nasty, but amidst the praise, this is not unexpected. Jennifer made another unexpected breakthrough, conquering critics and audiences, The box office of "Chicago" is rising steadily. Now the scalpers on Yahoo.com have fetched an astonishingly high price of thousands of dollars, and have also brought her several reports. Jenny even serves as a symbol of the revival of New York's cultural industry in the post-9/11 era. On CNN once.
Of course, her discussion forum became more and more lively, and many fans began to discuss coming to New York to watch the show, or their expectations for the tour. ——In general, the response to "Chicago" has been overwhelming, but it is hard for Jenny to be happy about it. After Cesare told her her expected blueprint, her horizons also broadened, and she even began to Understand why he has always been indifferent to her achievements: Maybe what she has achieved is already a miracle among ordinary people, but when she expanded her sights to all of Hollywood, Jenny found that she was in the same age as her peers, that is, Among the future competitors, the distance she has traveled now can only be said to be insignificant, and it can even be regarded as a desperate catch-up when she is seriously behind.
Of course, 100% of her weekly salary may rise to 20,000 in three months, but what is this? When people look back on 2002, they think of Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson, and even Emma Watson in the Harry Potter series, not making more than a hundred dollars a year Wan's Jennifer Jefferson.
Jenny felt the desire to succeed for the first time. Of course, this was not the first time she tried to achieve success, but it was the first time she wanted to succeed. Just a year ago, she could rationally weigh the cost-effectiveness of a lady's life and a star's life, and thought that being a lawyer's Trophy Wife is not too bad. If she finds the right person, she can be married in a few years. Sharing her husband's annual income of millions or even tens of millions without having to pay anything—at least she doesn't have to pay as much as she did last year. Of course, she knows that the top people in the showbiz earn much more than her, but...they You paid a lot, didn't you? In terms of cost performance, she is more inclined to TrophyWife.
But for her now, it's not just about money. For the first time, Jenny felt her competitive spirit-she didn't just want to make money, she also wanted to prove that she was no worse than these wolf-like competitors...
She wants to prove that she can also stand at the high point of this circle, so that more people - than waiting outside the theater, more people than her discussion board members - praise her performance, for her As for joy, anger, sorrow and joy, she wants to influence more people.
——but now she can only lie dormant and wait for the opportunity, move forward slowly, and sit and watch her competitors sprint forward at a speed of 100 meters.
This feels really bad.

"Jenny! Jenny!"
When Jenny came out of the theater, she suddenly found a familiar face in the crowd blinking and smiling at her desperately, waving by the way, and shouting at the same time, "Jenny, it's me, do you remember me?" ?”
Jenny smiled at the fans at the front, started to sign for her, and met the group photo requirements at the same time, but she was still looking at the enthusiastic fan out of the corner of her eye, and after a few seconds, she remembered, "Ah, Wei Er!"
Under her gesture, Will Hilton cut through the crowd, squeezed through the security guards and Mary's obstruction, and warmly hugged Jenny, causing a burst of envious protests, his face glowing with joy, "So, You haven't forgotten me?"
Of course Jenny has not forgotten him. Anyway, Will is also one of the young masters of the Hilton Group, and she still vaguely remembers that there was an agreement between them, which seemed to say that she would marry him after she finished filming "Chicago". One date, but then she was so busy and went straight to New York that she completely forgot about it. "Of course I haven't forgotten you, but why didn't you call me? Instead, you chose to wait for me here?"
"Oh, I lost my phone." Will grimaced and didn't seem to be telling the truth, "Are you free tonight? Where are you going now? I remember what else do you owe me? "
As always, his excessive enthusiasm always made Jenny a little overwhelmed, she smiled and moved away, "Hey, can you let me finish signing first?"
Mary also stepped forward to stop Will so that Jenny could continue to work. The fans of the show looked at Will with envy and jealousy. Several male fans had warned Jenny, "Don't date him, He is not good enough for you."
"Hey, kid, what do you mean by that!" Will yelled unhappily across Mary, and immediately aroused a wave of mutual support among fans, making Jenny, who was already in a bad state, almost Some headaches. She hurriedly speeded up the signing process, and at the same time signaled to Mary to appease the fans.
As if all this wasn't bad enough, after signing a few more autographs, a flash light suddenly lit up next to Jenny, and a strange paparazzi suddenly appeared out of nowhere, first took a few pictures of Jenny, and then Going to shoot Will, and asking very familiarly, "Jennifer, is this your boyfriend? I know he's a Hilton—"
His revelation caused a commotion among the fans, and the voice of choking with Will suddenly decreased. While Will is still Will, once the crowd finds out that he's a Hilton, it seems like he's instantly eligible to date Jenny.
"No, he's just an ordinary friend." Jenny said dumbfoundingly, "Seriously, where did you come from?"
"So the blond guy who left with you at the AfterParty the other night is your boyfriend? Or your date?" the paparazzi seized the opportunity and asked casually, "I didn't get a picture, But I've heard he's so **** hot he could light a glass of whiskey."
He gave a friendly wave to the fan group and made a joke, "I bet half of the female fans here just took one look at him and then turned and became his fans, right?"
Jenny guessed that he heard the news from the fans of the show, because when she and Cesare came out, many people saw them. If the security guards did not stop them, they would not have been able to walk on the street unhindered and followed. .
Perhaps in Asia, it is very taboo for a newly debuted female star to have a romantic partner, but in the United States, this is by no means a problem. Unless they are crazy fans with mental problems, most people accept celebrity love. If a star does not fall in love for a long time, it will make people doubt his or her sexuality. . ...It seems that her fans are all face control, at least they support Cesare more than Will.
"The handsome guy you mentioned is my manager." Jenny continued to clarify helplessly, "I mean, you should at least do your homework about me first."
In a messy conversation, the whole signing ended in a hurry, and the rest of the people could only get Jenny's smile, thanks and greetings. In the confusion, she boarded Mary's car parked not far away, and Will took advantage of Luan got into the car, but Jenny didn't stop him.
"You don't want to exercise your dating rights right now, do you?" Jenny asked.
Will rubbed his nose, "Of course I want to, but the paparazzi is right behind, just put me down after you get rid of him-haha, I didn't expect that I would become you before I got an appointment with you." Gossip."
He was still the same as before, heartless and cheerful. Jenny looked at his smiling face and felt that her mood was brighter. She asked, "So you didn't go to your GapYear?"
Wilton immediately poured a history of blood and tears into her: He was ready to go, but unfortunately, when he returned to New York to attend the New Year party, he tasted marijuana at a friend's house, and after returning home in a daze, he was killed. His mother smelled it, and now he has lost the financial support of his family, so he can only intern at the Hilton Hotel in New York. He has to undergo a drug test every month, and he has to be clean for six consecutive months to continue the GapYear plan. During this period, although he has graduated from college, But there is also a curfew. And after going abroad, you can’t cut your hair, and you have to go back to China every three months for a DrugTest. If you find signs of medication, stop traveling immediately, and your parents may even consider reducing his inheritance share in the will. Including the foundation set up by Hilton for future generations, there are also corresponding punitive clauses. His mother threatened him that if he relapsed, he would report his drug history to the foundation, so that he would not even receive the living expenses paid by the fund. . Even his mobile phone was thrown directly into the swimming pool by his mother, in order to cut him off from his friends.
"You have a good mother." Jenny told Will, and made a joke, "It seems that you can't take me to your cousin's famous party."
"Paris' parents never cared about her medication." Will muttered a few words indignantly, then sighed and accepted his fate, "Yes, all we can go now is some safe Yes, there is absolutely no marijuana party, otherwise my dear good mother may usher in another hysterical attack. ——But don’t think that I will give up our agreement just because of this, don’t even think about it.”
Jenny couldn't help laughing, "Okay, but you only have less than three months to fulfill the contract, I can't go out with you after six months, and you should go abroad by then, so, No matter what big plans you have, you have to put them into practice recently."
"Then you score for me all day!" Will bargained immediately. "One more kiss."
Of course, this unreasonable request was not agreed to by Jenny. The two negotiated for a period of time. The paparazzi is obviously an expert at following cars. Although he is riding a motorcycle today, in the New York City area where cars can't get up to speed, a motorcycle is enough to follow them firmly.
There is no other way, Will had to get off the car near his house. Of course, a few more photos would inevitably be taken. Mary drove away first.
Although she wrote emails to both Judy and Cesare after returning home, reporting the paparazzi attack tonight, the next morning Jenny was woken up by Lilian's phone call. ——Due to the working hours, Jenny's biological clock inevitably shifted. Now she usually sleeps until 9 o'clock in the morning, and sometimes wakes up later than Lilian even if the jet lag is counted.
"Did you read your discussion board?" Lilian is a loyal viewer of the discussion board, and she asked Jenny to read many interesting posts recently. "Honey, you have an affair, from the gossip page of the New York Post, the forum post is just an excerpt of the headline: The new Broadway princess's private life is chaotic? Hilton's heir? Agent? J.J.J, a master of two boats?"
Jenny woke up rubbing her eyes, "What—the—Fuuuuuck?"
Lilian was laughing like crazy, and strongly demanded to see the full report immediately, and when Jenny rushed down to buy the newspaper, Judy called.
"You shouldn't be emailing, you should be calling! You got that boy in your car!" Judy obviously got a copy of several newspapers, "God, they even got Chesa photos, these **** East Coast media!"
In fact, the New York Post was not the only media that reported on the two-footed incident, but also "New York Celebrity Anecdotes" and "New York Daily News". Apart from the nonsense tabloids, the remaining two media outlets are local newspapers with certain credibility, but the photos obtained by the three are similar: Will getting on the bus, Will getting off the bus, Will talking to her, Will standing next to her Looking behind her. It seems that the income of that paparazzi must have been quite a lot last night.
In addition, the "New York Post" also included a picture of Will and Paris Hilton walking out of a nightclub together, talking intimately with each other, marking Will's identity, and Cesare and Paris Hilton An old photo of Jennifer Bell attending an event, Cesare in the photo still looks as serious and indifferent as ever, and the caption for him in the newspaper is: Do the poor people in Los Angeles know the love song of his lovebird in New York?
The whole report is also the most detailed in the "New York Post". It not only carefully but also ambiguously describes Will getting into the car, the paparazzi chasing the car, Mary trying to get rid of the paparazzi, and finally Will getting off the car near the apartment. Skillfully ignoring Jenny's statement and Will's subsequent explanation to the paparazzi (Will reported to her on the phone last night), and also detailing Will's identity and Cesare's position at CAA, The grievances with Jennifer Bell—they even hinted that Cesare first found Bell, and after breaking up with Bell, the old relationship was unforgettable, and they found Jenny as a substitute, and now they are in love with her, and the reason why Jenny can become "Chicago ", it is precisely because Cesare used countless relationships for her that he insisted on promoting her to this position.
"It's all and what." Jenny threw the newspaper across most of the room.
On the other end of the phone, Lilian couldn't breathe from laughing. "OhGod, OhGod, I'm going to choke if I keep laughing. ——God, the funniest thing is that your fans seem to take this a little bit seriously."
Jenny doesn't want to go to the discussion board at all right now, and she spends her free time all morning in video conferences with Judy and Cesare—Judy just received her email this morning, so she kept talking Blame Jenny for not calling her in time to handle the news. As for Cesare, he didn't care at all that he also became the protagonist of the news. He mainly cared about what level the incident would expand to, whether it was the local level or the national level? Can they find some good in this matter?
Now she gradually understood why Cesare was so noncommittal about her decision of "I don't need a manager". When Jenny went to rehearsal in the afternoon, she already had a bit of a headache. While the whole thing didn't hurt her physically, it did put a lot of strain on her mentally, and the whole meeting was unbelievably exhausting and irritating. The only consolation was that none of her colleagues believed the nonsense, and Ann Benson comforted her kindly.
"While I was in London, I spoke to Jude Law one day, at a party," she said, eyes widening, "and the next day, when I read the paper, I realized that I had became the third party in his marriage."
Jenny couldn't help laughing. "Okay, but at least it's Jude Law!"
"If you want to get to know him, I can hook you up." Ann blinked at her, "Luo is in New York now, and he's going to play "Cold Mountain" in Los Angeles the day after tomorrow, but he'll come to my party tomorrow night. You know, he's a wild horse, and Sandy can never get his hands on him—and, besides, he raves about your performance."
Judging from Ann's tone of voice, Jenny doubted whether she and Jude Law were really just talking at a party. But she has never had the habit of meddling in other people's affairs, she thought about it, "Okay, is there anyone else I know besides Luo?"
"And some friends from London to New York," Ann said, "oh yeah, and Gore, you should know him - he's a director, and a friend brought me to the party the day I opened Yes, I saw that his friend is very close to you."
"Ah, he and you—" Jenny pretended to be enlightened.
"No, no," Ann shook her head, "He's just looking for a role for his movie, and he found an audition for him. He thinks I'm a good fit for a supporting role in that movie."
"Ah, he told you after watching the premiere that day?" Jenny put on an unpleasant look on purpose, "But when I asked you that day, you said he was just talking to you."
Ann said happily, "No, not that day, he is a very serious person, after that he watched the show twice, and then came to the backstage to tell me the news, he said he would watch the show a few more times, sure My performance is stable enough."
"Really?" Jenny said in surprise, "but I didn't see him backstage."
"Yes, he left before you came out." Ann said, "But you can pay attention, he has been here for seven or eight days in a row, all in the same position, and his friend reserved it for him." Yes, it’s on the left in the second row—is he really serious? It’s just a supporting role, and he’s even sent out audition invitations, but he’s still checking my level.”
Jenny's eyes widened at the news, "Is it—?"
She barely suppressed the surging suspicion in her heart, and she took the topic away before Ann became suspicious, "But he is not Jude Law, tell me about Luo—I heard that he is very romantic... ..."
They had a heated chat about Jude Law's sexual gossip. Not long after, Jenny found a gap and left to go to the bathroom. As soon as she walked out of the rehearsal room, she rushed to a secluded corner and called Cesare. .
"Listen," she said as soon as Cesare picked it up. "I have an idea about Al Gore, despite the jokes on me being self-centered..."
The author has something to say: Note: I don’t know anything about Gore’s family. Except for the name, everything is fictional. Please don’t think he is really that kind of person. But Jude Law is indeed a famous playboy...
"New York Who's Who" is also my fictional little magazine.
