Hollywood Domination: The second accident
"You must not have finished the homework I assigned," Nicholas said steadily while avoiding Jenny's attack in the boxing ring, "Do you feel it, Jennifer, your movements have slowed down."
Jenny is a little ashamed, indeed, she is a rare laziness, after returning to Los Angeles, things have been going on, plus... Well, she was also very tired when filming before, and she could feel it several times Hovering on the verge of falling ill, the desire to rest became stronger as soon as she was on vacation, and she didn't do the homework assigned by Nicholas at all. I always feel that resting for a few days may not lead to hand skills, but the facts have proved that kung fu really cannot be left for a day, and it has not been ten days. Now she obviously feels powerless and unable to keep up with Nicholas' footsteps.
With no energy left to speak, Jenny gritted her teeth and pushed her sore and numb legs to continue to attack Nicholas. Nicholas kept his pace very well, and she could catch up with just a little more effort——
"That's it for today," Nicholas stopped unexpectedly, and easily sealed the sweeping legs of Jenny, "You are already using brute force, Jennifer, if you continue like this, your muscles It will hurt."
Jenny breathed a sigh of relief, she lay down on the ground unceremoniously, gasped for a while, and then gathered her strength to take the water bottle handed by Nicholas, but her fingers were too trembling to unscrew the bottle cap— —If dominating Hollywood must make action movies, then she...well, then she will make at most two movies, and she will never get involved in martial arts movies again, absolutely, yes, no.
"Tomorrow you will regain your feeling." Nicholas pulled Jenny to the sidelines, and the two watched Lord Beckett's actor step forward to receive sword training, "The first day of restarting is always very frustrating , not just you, but me too."
"Really?" Jenny finally found her breath, and she glanced at Nicholas suspiciously, "If you don't smile so easily, it will be more convincing."
Nicolas laughed, and he rushed into the room and waved to Mary, "I mean it, but you will stop training when you return to Los Angeles, but I didn't——Hi, Mary."
Mary smiled at Nicholas with some embarrassment, "Hi, Nicholas."
Jenny looked at the expressions of the two people, "Wait, Nicholas, wait a while and then talk to Mary—"
Nicholas' complexion is relatively dark, so it's hard to tell if he's shy, but his bright white teeth have never been retracted, but Mary is a little embarrassed, "Jane—"
"Tell me how Josh is doing these days, and you can go out for a walk with Mary." Jenny shushed Mary, "I'll give her to you for an hour, but you will be responsible for sending her back to the hotel room."
"Jane—"
"He seems to be in a really good mood these days," Nicholas said quickly, "The progress is almost back, and Sean has been praising him for finally finding his status."
He didn't ask Jenny why she wanted to inquire from the side, nor asked her purpose, but took out his mobile phone and set the alarm clock, "It's 8:30 in the evening, and I will send Mary back at 9:30, okay Is it?"
"Of course." Jenny suppressed a smile and said, "Go and have fun—Mary, remember you still have work when you come back."
Marie blushed and waved at Jenny, but the speed of disappearing was not slow at all. Jenny hugged her knees and watched Nicholas chatting and laughing with her as they left the training room. It's really hard to say, no one knows what will happen tomorrow. Mary doesn't seem to mind Nicholas' skin color at all, even though she comes from a conservative and wealthy family.
After resting for a while on the sidelines, Jenny was about to go back to rest, when Tom Hollander shouted at her with a sword, "Jennifer, do you want to come over and practice tomorrow's move?"
"No problem." Jenny just hesitated, and when she saw Bob Anderson walking into the training room with arms folded, she agreed, "Can we still let Bob see if this action scene is already done? The rehearsal is in place..."

Ding, ding, ding, ding, the tip of Lord Beckett's sword slashed at Elizabeth several times, but Elizabeth deftly parried it with a candlestick, and the last move was directly pinned to the sword by the candlestick. Elizabeth, who was wearing men's clothes, immediately tried to break the sword in Beckett's hand with a candlestick. Unable to resist Elizabeth's strength, she was forced to retreat step by step.
"Ha." Elizabeth shouted triumphantly, she deftly picked it up with her foot, and the dagger that fell on the ground was lifted into the air by her—
"Cut!" Gore shouted, "Nogood!"
There was a sigh of regret at the scene, and Tom walked to the other side of the deck in a gentlemanly manner, and put back the dagger that Jenny picked up thousands of miles away, "Do it again?"
"I'm sorry." Jenny stomped her foot lightly, "I didn't grasp the strength just now—hey, it was a good take just now."
"It's nothing." Tom waved his hand, "When we all have NG, I hope the next shot will not be me."
Jenny and him looked at each other, and they both made a sad face at each other. The two walked to the shadow of the cabin in a tacit understanding, and asked the makeup artist to come out of the cabin to touch up their makeup. The assistants delivered ice water, and the crew went to the shade to drink water one after another, avoiding the scorching sun in Dominica: Although it has entered September, the sun in Dominica is still hot, which also made us return to the live-action shooting The crew suffered enough.
"Let me exercise again." After finishing the makeup, Jenny brought the dagger again, and tried the movements of picking up and grabbing the tail a few times, forcing the already faintly sore thighs to follow the master's Voluntary exercise, "OK, this time it should be fine."
"Break time is over." Gore shouted holding the horn, "Come on, friends, let's do it again."
Jenny, Tom and the extras returned to their original positions one after another. With the sound of "Action", Beckett suddenly began to attack the unarmed Elizabeth who came to negotiate...
After being NG four times, this long shot finally got a 'Good' evaluation in the fifth shooting, but this is not the end of the work, because there is another action scene to be shot immediately, Jenny had to apply for a period of rest, "Can I rest for a few minutes? I'm a little dizzy."
"Of course it's okay." Gore has always been very patient with her, "but it's only fifteen minutes, and the sun won't be good if it's delayed."
Jenny made an OK gesture to Gorby, and then went back into the cabin, trying to close her eyes and take a nap in the sweltering environment: she really couldn't hold on anymore, maybe it was the first day when she resumed training , she didn’t listen to Nicholas’ advice, and sparred with Tom for a while. When she woke up the next day, she felt that her muscles were so sore. Unfortunately, from that day until now, it’s almost been high-intensity martial arts, and Jenny couldn’t help it. The film was called off due to her own reasons, Hurricane Wilma, Josh's problems, and the location has been bad... At this time, if she asks the crew to change the shooting schedule because of muscle soreness, it will be a big show.
Originally, the martial arts scene designed by Bob and others was based on the level of her training a while ago. In martial arts, Jenny is relying on willpower to support it, and today I feel that even her willpower is coming to an end. Now I feel a headache after sitting down, and I don't even have the strength to stand up.
"Mary, Mary." She licked her lips, "Give me some Rendan..."
Mary didn't relax much. She stayed with Jenny in the cabin all the time, cooling her down at any time, and she was sweating profusely from the heat. Jim went to Chinatown and bought us some."
"Cool oil, let me smell it..." Jenny said weakly, and swallowed the third pill of the day, "Forget it, you go get water, I will find it myself."
Filled out the cooling oil from the bag, and smelled the pungent peppermint smell slowly under the nose, Jenny also recovered a little bit of energy, she took out her mobile phone and fiddled with it, "Hey, there is a signal here..."
The signal of AT&T often makes people crazy in the United States, let alone overseas. It is only possible to use the international roaming function in the center of the Dominican capital, so since the crew came to Dominica, she has basically been with her. The world is isolated, but now the signal is still good, Jenny also regained her spirits, and quickly checked her emails and text messages.
"Ah..." She couldn't help laughing—Christopher actually wrote her a few emails, but he is not very good at using computers, and all letters in the first letter are all capital letters, "So , I guess you can't accept SexMail either?"
It was obviously a provocative joke, but because of the spelling, it looked like a threatening letter, and Christopher wrote a second letter not long after, "Uh, ignore the first one, it looks a bit perverted. "
Then a third, 'Ignore the first two, they make me look clumsy. ’
Jenny laughed silently for a while, skipped his name for the time being, and checked other emails. Seeing that Claudia had a letter, she hesitated, but opened it anyway.
"I've already settled down in Rhode Island. I called you, but it showed that you were not in the service area, so I guess you have gone abroad..." Claudia explained her life, and then Asked Jenny and Mary well, "...about Josh, I think he just had a whim, since I haven't heard from him, so I guess he's calmed down and knows he's doing something stupid. Jenny, Please do me a favor, if he really intends to do this, please let me know, I will tell him that it is completely futile, because I have no intention of getting back with him, in fact, his hasty decision made me more Glad I made the right choice..."
"Jenny—" a voice called her from outside the cabin, Jenny recovered and put the phone back in her bag, "Here it is—"
She took another sip of water in a hurry, then got out of the cabin, squinted her eyes uncomfortably under the hot sun, and secretly prayed that the sunscreen she applied was thick enough. "It's time to start."
"Okay," Gore yelled from another boat, "now let the helicopter fly, let's do an aerial overhead shot... and high-to-low propulsion, ready...Action!"
After being cornered by Elizabeth, Beckett began to resist, and quickly took advantage of Elizabeth's slippery feet to push her to the bow step by step. At the same time, Johnny and Will took the The Black Pearl is also gradually approaching the flagship, and in the aerial view of the helicopter, Will shouts, "Elizabeth!"
He pulled a rope and swung towards the flagship at a quick run-up—of course, this is a special effects shot that will be completed in post-production. Josh only needs to make a run-up here. A piece of green screen shooting and post-production superb editing can make him instantly land on the flagship to join the fight with Beckett. So when Josh swings out—swings back, just swinging back and forth like a pendulum, slowly slowing down, no one is surprised, but Gore yells with satisfaction, "Cut, good!"—the two boats meet The exterior shots of the film are completed, and the multiplayer fight on the deck of a single ship is another shot, and there is no need to use helicopters anymore.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief that this scene could be passed through once. The crew members applauded spontaneously, and the ship also sailed to a new direction according to the director's instructions, preparing for the next filming work: Although these ships are It is an old model, but it can really sail after modification, but the ride experience may not be so good.
"Jennifer." Tom also greeted Jenny, "Do you want to drink some more water?"
Jenny shook her head, "Let me—"
She glanced at the figure still dangling in the distance, and when she thought of Claudia's letter, she felt even more dizzy, and hurried to the side of the boat: She has always been a little seasick, the waves are big today, and she was already It's uncomfortable. Now that the boat is driving, coupled with the visual stimulation, Jenny may have a little heat stroke, and it's really unbearable.
After vomiting a few mouthfuls, Jenny became even more dizzy. She could hardly use her legs, so she could only hold on to the railing to get up straight. I didn't know what happened, but I felt that there was a sudden void in front of me, and there seemed to be bursts of exclamations from all around... Then—then she was already in free fall.
"Fuck!" She murmured, but her voice was carried in by the wind, and she watched the sea getting closer and closer to her...
Then Jenny didn't know anything.

"Why is it always the sea?"
Jenny slowly regained consciousness, but she couldn't move for a while, she blinked—Mary's angry voice seemed to come from outside the door, but it was still very clear.
"Why is it always this movie, J.J has made many movies, all of them are safe to finish, only "Pirates of the Caribbean", the first time she almost died, the second time? Falling into the water again ! Sean, to be honest, we can't be satisfied if you don't fire a few people this time, what will happen if the actor union knows about this? Huh?"
Shawn seemed to be explaining something, but Jenny didn't listen, she felt dizzy and still nauseous, she called softly, "Nurse...Nurse..."
A nurse came over and spoke a lot of Spanish to her, which made Jenny feel sick even more, but fortunately Mary came back to her quickly, "Thank God, you woke up-we were all scared by you Dead—"
"Face—" Jenny said, and Mary shook her head quickly, "You have no injuries, you just fell into the sea and were hit by railing debris a few times."
This explained the dull pain in the back of her head, Jenny was relieved, the dizziness receded a little bit, and she could speak, "Where are we now?"
"Santo Domingo," Mary said tearfully, "the hospital here is terrible, you'd better go back to Los Angeles for a detailed examination - I've already contacted Cesare, he's on his way here. "
She waved her fist, "Let's see how they sign a memorandum with us this time!"
It turns out that she still remembers what happened in the last episode—speaking of which, Mary has also grown a lot, and now she will preemptively strike...
Jenny wanted to laugh a little, but just the thought made her sick, "How long have I been in a coma?"
"About a few hours, you actually woke up once before, but you were very uncomfortable on the bus to Santo Domingo, so the accompanying doctor gave you sleeping pills," Mary said, " How are you now?"
"Not good, I still want to vomit." Jenny probably remembered, she did seem to have a vague memory of waking up, "When will Cesare arrive?"
"He came by private plane, and he just talked to me on the phone, and he should land in two hours." Mary said.
Jenny hummed, "How long have I been in a coma?"
"Three or four hours," Mary also laughed, "Cesare is always quick, isn't he—do you want to call him? He gave me the number of the plane."
Jenny nodded with difficulty, and Mary dialed the number for her, and after one ring, the other side picked up, Cesare's tone was a little urgent. "This is Cesare."
"Hi, Chesa, just to let you know that I'm awake, I should be fine..." Jenny closed her eyes and said wearily.
There seemed to be a sound of exhalation on the other end of the phone, followed by a slow reply, "I see, we'll be there in an hour."
"Okay—why is it always me?" Jenny complained, "Why do I always have such bad luck?"
"Thinking about it from another angle," Cesare said with a faint smile, "this will be good public relations material, besides, today's bad luck may be tomorrow's good luck, maybe you Can get good results at the Venice Film Festival next week. I already have some ideas about this matter...but we will not talk about it now."
"Okay," Jenny said compromisingly, "let's not talk about this, I get a headache when I mention these things—I want to sleep for a while, and I will leave it to you to decide how to deal with this matter, but this At least one time you have to wait until I wake up before leaving, and, to visit a patient, at least buy a bouquet of flowers..."
"...I will try my best," Cesare said, "wait a minute, don't hang up, there are still people who want to talk to you."
"Hey—" Christopher's voice came over the phone immediately, and his voice was much lower and softer than usual.
"Hey..." Jenny couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips: at this moment, she really feels a lot better...
