Chapter 312: Stage Fright?

"This is a brief introduction to projects that are in the pipeline for the next two years across Hollywood."

With a loud 'bang', Cesare placed a large stack of folders on his desk, then bent down again, and made another loud bang - after five successive 'bangs', he finally stopped his movements for a moment, and said to the stunned Jeanne, "--and we have done a preliminary screening for you, from the original 1,193 copies to the current 463 copies - but the remaining 700-odd copies you better read as well, although some of the scripts are not suitable for you to star, But Big Dream can take the lead in investment, or even exclusive production, after all, Big Dream still has some surplus funds, which is enough for us to produce two or three more small production movies with a budget of less than 50 million every year. ”

“shush!” Jenny stared at the spectacular hill in front of her, and felt like she had been deceived - she hadn't been in the sea of scripts for several years, and now she couldn't remember how she had picked out "Prada" and "The Notebook" from the scripts to be selected, and, in Jenny's prediction, she probably didn't need to read Taobao like this anymore: the movies that would be blockbusters in the next few years, she could remember, and she thought that Big Dream might win, and she basically confessed to Cesare. How to dig out the seeds of easy profit in the script, then in all fairness, it should be Cesare's ability to be stronger, Jenny after removing the help of Goldfinger, she doesn't think she will have any advantage, she at most discusses with Cesare the script he has screened, provides her own opinion, and matches the script to find investment and crew for the script - in this regard, she and Cesare are now on par with each other, although Cesare has a family bonus, but Jenny is not bad, She has a golden sign to protect what to play, and she has two Oscars for Best Picture in hand, even if it is the most ordinary and worst script, if she takes the lead, it is indispensable for large companies to compete for investment, at least, before the first failure of Big Dream, the difficulty of financing for her and Big Dream is not zero, it is simply negative.

As for the movie she herself wants to act in - picking out good scripts for movie stars to choose from, isn't it the agent's responsibility? More than 400 scripts, is this teasing her?

"Are you kidding me?" She put an end to her surprise and turned to Cesare and asked, "Seriously, are you kidding?" Isn't it your job to screen scripts for me? ”

"First of all, I'm no longer your agent." Cesare put his hands on the table and said calmly, "Your agent is Mary—"

Yes, after Cesare's departure, the manager Jim was supposed to act as an agent for her project, but Jim is now leading the network marketing department of Big Dream, and there is a studio in charge of it privately, and the workload is already quite large, and the identity is not convenient to come forward from time to time, Mary successfully became Jenny's nominal agent, she took a brokerage certificate and hung it in the CAA, as a link between CAA and Jenny, of course, the commission figure is not that Jenny and Cesare signed so generously, Now the contract between CAA and Jenny is quite restrictive, and it can almost only be regarded as a nominal agency relationship, Mary, as an agent, can only take a 5% commission from Jenny's salary, and does not participate in the dividend commission, her main source of income is still the salary that Jenny gave her, as well as the income share of Xiaomeng Studio. Even so, she can guarantee a million income every year, according to her usual main job content, this money can be said to be very easy, but if you take into account her previous years of ups and downs, then the upfront investment of this job is indeed enough and large, and she cannot be described as lucky alone.

As Jenny and Cesare's eyes fell on her, Mary, who was sitting next to Jenny, seemed a little more nervous than before, but she swallowed her saliva and still bravely defended herself, "But your situation is really too special, Jane, first of all, Hollywood actors, male and female, have not enjoyed your current treatment, and we are not choosing one or a few relatively optimal scripts within a limited range - we are all able to shoot, even not intended to shoot, It's just a selection in a script that is considered to have a bright spot - any character that you like, whether there are other candidates, whether they have a contract or not, or even whether the project was originally planned to start filming, will immediately become a key project of the company, and the contract will be delivered to your desk within a few hours. In such a situation, how do you ask us to screen you? There are no restrictions on the crew, you can only choose from the script - especially if you don't have a clear standard - "

Speaking of which, she almost complained, "If you want to act in a commercial film, whether it's an action movie, a romance movie, a chick-flick, a teen movie, an R-rated comedy film - that's not a problem, we have scripts for you to choose from, if you want to act in an art film, give me a genre, is it a political film?" War films? Biopics? Adaptation of a famous book? Specimens? Even if you want to act in some cult films with bold scale, I can recommend 3 to 5 of the best scripts for you, but if you want a script that 'has a feeling, I want to act', and even the protagonist and supporting roles are not picky, then I can only filter out some scripts that are obviously not up to standard, right? Here I can only guarantee that among the more than 700 scripts that have been screened out, the female characters do not have so much room to play, but, considering that you can change the drama and add the drama, I suggest you go through all these scripts yourself, I mean, God knows, maybe you will be touched by these scripts and find the role you want to play? ”

In her very aggressive explanation, Jenny opened her mouth several times, trying to interrupt Mary's offensive, but she didn't find the right opportunity, and she was even a little ashamed of Mary's words - well, when she said that she wanted to act in a movie with feelings, Jenny didn't expect how tricky this was for her agent, after all, for her now, there was no crew conflict in the whole of Hollywood, and she didn't need to think about who the heroine of the film was supposed to be, as long as she wanted to, Film and television companies will give the role to both hands - even if it is a project led by a big director like Spielberg, I am afraid that this is the case, if the director is unhappy about this, the company may even risk offending the director, even if the director is changed, Jenny, after all, Spielberg has not lost money in recent years, and every movie of Jenny is a big hit, and the company certainly knows how to choose.

Of course, realistically speaking, no one will refuse to speak back to Jennifer right now. Jefferson's cooperation opportunities, for these directors, they do not have the problem of lack of qualifications, the work wins the best movie, which often means that the director himself wins another Oscar, and Jennifer has cooperated with cutting-edge directors several times before, which has contributed to them winning the best movie, from this point alone, she is more open in the director group than in the ranks of film and television companies, not to mention her own outstanding acting skills and professionalism, financing ability and box office guarantee, This has made her the top 1 actor list that directors want to work with the most, and even many big directors openly joke with Jenny on some social occasions, complaining that she has worked with big directors too few times......

When she was still working Broadway, a chance to audition was fought for by Cesare, and when she finished filming "Pirates of the Caribbean", her options were only two or three very limited films, and even before she filmed "Monroe", Jenny was not without competition in the casting of "Life and Death Reading", but after the explosion of "Monroe", no one in Hollywood can curb her momentum, as can be seen from the scripts stacked in front of her, The whole Hollywood has really demanded of her as an actor, as an actor, even if such a peak period is only one or two years, it is enough to make them proud for a lifetime, and they have mixed up to this point, what else can they ask for? Even if you want to go to the next level, I'm afraid there is no building to go up, right? Whether it is salary, sharing, financing, status, popularity or awards, Jenny has reached the limit of what an actor can dream of, at this moment, facing a table of scripts, even if she is used to this kind of life surrounded by flowers and honors, she can't help but feel a little complacent - after so many years of struggle, she has finally come to this point, even if it is trouble, this trouble is indeed very luxurious and happy.

"Okay, okay," was attacked by this kind of flattery that seemed to be a complaint, but was actually a sycophant, even if Jenny was angry, I am afraid that she would not be able to maintain her anger, not to mention, her temper was not bad, "Isn't it just a few hundred scripts?" I don't think it's okay yet? Don't pout, Mary, get a boy and get it to the car, I'll see when I get back to the hotel tonight. ”

Mary managed to get rid of the errand of picking the script, and enjoyed a small victory, but she knew self-control, and did not exchange any victorious glances with Cesare, but gave Jeanne enough face, and answered more carefully than usual, and even retreated backwards to the door, and then opened the door and walked in the direction of the large office, beckoning people to come back to work.

Her dramatic actions did have the effect of enlivening the atmosphere, and Jenny couldn't help but shake her head with a smile when she looked back at her and left, and turned to Cesare and complained, "Don't you think you're going too far?" Cesare, Mary is my assistant—but I feel like I'm being sidelined by you. Also, what is it called, 'You're not my agent anymore', when you asked me to sign Mary as an agent, you never said that you would let go of my acting career from now on - I have a very strong, very strong feeling of being cheated on now! Look at my face and you'll see how upset I am right now. ”

Her joking words certainly didn't break Cesare's defenses, and he raised his eyebrows expressionlessly, "If I had to say - even if Miss Effie and I were really working together to exclude someone, then there is no doubt that the lady would be to blame - besides, I don't see what you need for the position of agent right now, you don't need someone to negotiate for you, you don't need someone else to help you choose the script, then, whether Miss Effie and I are your agent, And will there be any difference? All you need is a machine to deliver scripts, and if you like, you can hire a homeless man on the side of the street for five dollars a day, and it won't make any difference. ”

"ouch-" Jenny made a pained expression, "It sounds like someone has been building up resentment for years, and finally can't help but want to vent it-"

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but laugh for a while, and then shook her head to end the joke time, "It seems that Mary is satisfied with her current position and has no ambition to go further." ”

"You've already given her a chance," Cesare said to be serious as well—his expression unchanged, of course, if anything, and if there was a difference in his tone, "that's enough." ”

If Mary is really interested in transferring the agent industry, her accumulation around Jenny will undoubtedly be of great help to her, after all, in the past few years, Mary has been in contact with, personally dealt with and has some friendship with people in the industry, if she has some appreciation for the script, it will not be too difficult to be an agent like Jim back then - although in the short term, the agent's income may not be as lucrative as being Jenny's assistant, but in terms of the ecological chain, The broker is definitely a bit more senior than the assistant. However, Mary obviously didn't appreciate the deep meaning of Cesare's letting her sift through the script - although the position of this agent was just a front, but even if it was, it was a rare opportunity, if she was smart and hard-working enough, Jeanne didn't mind multiple people advising her, Cesare was even more happy to have someone she trusted to share the burden, and even if she couldn't do it at first, as long as she had the motivation to learn, whether it was Jeanne, Cesare, or Jim, who wouldn't do her best to guide her?

Of course, maybe Mary is really not here, after all, her family is wealthy, and her current job is also well-paid, and she has a stable relationship with Nicholas, maybe she really has no idea of changing careers, which is actually a good thing for Jenny, and she also hopes that Mary can always be her assistant, so she doesn't have much hatred for iron and steel, but urges Cesare to say, "Do you really want me to kneel down and ask you for some guidance?" Cesare, don't tell me, you really didn't pay attention to which stories suited my tastes when you read the script. ”

Cesare curled the corners of his lips slightly, gave her a polite smirk, and led her to the corner of the office, making room for Mary and the others to carry the script, and poured Jenny a glass of water, while he refilled half a cup of coffee.

"I have to make a statement first, I still hope that you can read all those scripts and provide your perspective and opinions." He pushed the glass to Jenny, "Don't push everything to me, it's your duty as a partner and chairman—"

Under his piercing eyes, Jenny glanced at the script as tall as a hill, and had to resist the urge to sigh, no longer running away, but nodding his head and giving promise, Cesare continued, "Back to the topic, can Mary and I give you guidance?" Not really, Mary is right, as an agent, I can give you advice based on your development at a certain time, tell you what kind of film is best to shoot in the next stage, and what projects are going on in this type of film recently - if you will take advice, yes, I can recommend some scripts to you, but the problem is that at the moment you don't have an urgent need for either awards or box office, which can make any agent at a loss, so Mary and I have an infinite role in this matter - In fact, we can't give you much advice. ”

Fingers hooked the ear, he led Jenny back to the desk and sat down, nodded to the male employee who was moving the last of the scripts away, opened the drawer, took out a few folders and pushed them to Jenny's side, "If you're interested in my opinion, here are a few of the more interesting scripts I thought, including the "Inception" you told me, but I can't guarantee that this will satisfy your appetite." Because all of your films so far have been made for some reason, I have no way of knowing your preferences. ”

"Give me a brief introduction," Jenny said casually, opening the folder, "by the way, how did you talk about the funding of Inception?" ”

"It's not going very well," Cesare said, "and if you don't guarantee it, you probably won't be able to inject money -- but you've made it clear that you're not interested in the role of Mel, so I'm planning it for a less successful program, unless you change your mind." ”

Jenny snorted, but didn't say anything more - "Inception" is actually a good example of the strength of Big Dreams, and it is also another proof that even if you have a golden finger, you may not be able to compete for a good project. Nolan was inspired when filming "Batman Prequel" and began to write the script, but a director of his level, as long as it is a mainstream theme, then basically do not worry about investment, before everyone knows the news, Warner, who has worked with Nolan very happily, won the project with ease - the relationship between Nolan and Warner is like the relationship between Spielberg and Paramount, unless Warner is not interested, Nolan's project will not really consider other production companies, Even if Big Dream knew in advance that "Inception" would be a big hit, it would be like a rat pulling a turtle with nowhere to start, of course, if Jenny is willing to star, that's another matter.

However, Jenny really didn't have much interest in the role of Mel, not just because she wanted to play the film she liked, but to maintain her career, "I still say that Nolan's films are actually a drain for actresses - just like the series of films we are going to make, they are more suitable for young actors to start with, and they don't have much of a promotion for actresses who are already famous, or even male actors." ”

Cesare nodded, not arguing with her, "This is indeed the usual feature of Nolan's films, in his films, you see his thoughts, except for Heath, no one can leave a deep trace—he will be the director with the most personal fans in the new millennium, and it will be our luck if Big Dream can get him, but from another point of view, his films are not too attractive to actors who seek self-actualization." ”

"Especially the actresses, to put it in an extreme way, Nolan is simply misogynistic, but in other words, who is not a big director? - They still say that I work too little with the big directors, but in fact," Jenny said with some grumbling, "the more big the directors, the less room is left for the actors in their work, especially the women, who are always poor characters, and all the dramatic conflicts converge on the men, which is actually sexism - I feel like I'm really a feminist now - and the more I read the script, the more cynical it becomes." ”

"I feel like you're asking for compliments," Cesare said, giving Jenny a meaningful look, "and if you need someone to point it out, yes, because of your efforts, Hollywood actresses now have an extra avenue to go up — the five folders from blue to green are all women's biopics that are going to be launched in the next two years, and of course, there are far more projects in the pipeline, these are the five more interesting scripts and subject matter, and you can rewrite the script if you need to." What Warner wants to do is Nightingale, starting from her youth, there will be no shortage of luxurious scenes, and then shoot until the end of her life, do it a little deeper, mainly explore Nightingale's thinking about life, and the review of the times, not the kind of boring film that sings praises of virtue, I think the script and concept are good, it should be favored by the Olympic Award, and it is also very challenging for actresses, because the age span of the characters will be from 20 years old to 90 years old when Nightingale dies, It's not even without its difficulty for you - you haven't played an old man yet, have you? It's going to be a great challenge. ”

It cannot be denied that Warner's idea is indeed very attractive, although the box office of this film should not be too good, at least it cannot repeat the miracle of "Monroe", but with the luxurious scenes in the previous paragraph, commerciality should still be guaranteed, if the Victorian luxury and hypocrisy side of the conception can be presented, as well as Nightingale's thinking about life and time, it should be a high-quality film. But perhaps because of the fact that she had made two literary films in succession, both in the 50s and 60s of the last century, and now going back to the 19th century, Jenny was somewhat interested in the project, she pulled out the folder and put it aside, but did not look through it immediately, "Who else is there?" Mother Teresa? Joan of Arc? ”

"And Bloody Mary, oh, and more ingenious, Catherine I," Cesare shrugged at Jeanne's eyes, "And, the Beheaded Queen, although there was an unsuccessful remake of this film a few years ago, the script is quite interesting, and if you want to star in it, funding is certainly not a problem." ”

"The lives of these celebrities -- they are all very interesting," Jenny said as she put aside a few scripts, propped her chin up, and said with some distress, "but it's not the movie I wanted to make, I don't know, they don't seem to have piqued my interest, no matter how unique the perspective is, no matter how interesting the issues they want to expound - but I can take a closer look at these scripts, and if they really have potential, maybe Big Dream can try to invest in making one, not necessarily me, Scarlett, Natalie and Allen. Peggy, there are many potential young actresses who can hit the Olympic Awards through these films, and if the budget is not too high, even if the loss is limited. ”

"Then put them in another sub-project," Cesare said objectively, "these are two issues, whether you intervene or not, there is a big difference for the project, if it is only to invest in production, they have to compete with the projects of another subset, and the most advantageous projects can get our funding." ”

In the probe of Jenny's If it is a project that Jeanne intuitively wants, Cesare will definitely try to win it, but if it is not chosen by her intuition, Cesare will be business-like and strictly reviewed, and will not spend a lot of money because of Jeanny's casual words, and Jenny has nothing to complain about, in fact, this approach makes her feel more at ease, after all, she does not know what the box office will be like if this kind of film is not acted in by her, and if she makes a decision because of her words, she may still panic。

"Okay, then we've got all left-" Jenny pouted, "Well, there are only three copies left--Aronofsky's Black Swan"-well, it's famous, but it's a dual personality, and I don't want to do it again in the short term, but this film can be won-oh, okay, I see, the copyright of the script has already been owned, unless I star in it, it's hard to get a big dream......"

"Lady Macbeth, well, sounds pretty exciting, a remake of a famous book -- I don't seem to have ever challenged a villain -- well, I saw that it said it would make some adaptations-"

"Mainly for the degree of beauty of Lady Macbeth," Cesare said, "and the plot will be a little more modern, and the core spirit will remain the same, and in general, I think the film has a little bit of room to dig deeper, but its popularity can make up for everything, and if you look at it from my point of view, at this stage in the field of art films, you can properly get more exposure to some remakes of famous books, which will give you a deeper favor and support from the academy—"

Seeing Jenny's expression change, he added, "Of course, that's to say, if you're interested." ”

Jenny is not very interested in "Lady Macbeth", "This kind of human evil may have been moving in Shakespeare's time, but in today's world, it seems to be a little outdated - we watch politicians who are more cold-blooded than Lady Macbeth perform on stage every day, and I feel that this story is not so exciting anymore." What else? "Blue □□ People's Day"? The relationship between husband and wife is a turning point, exploring human nature and love...... Boredom, boredom. ”

She closed the script and shrugged her shoulders at Cesare, sighing helplessly, while Cesare remained unmoved.

"It's a common phenomenon when you're looking for love at first sight," he says, "and if you read it patiently, maybe every script will excite you, and not every script will make you look good at first sight – but it's also your freedom if you stick to your own ideas." Now I'm going to introduce you to a few scripts that I think are more interesting, mainly low-budget comedies - "Dragon Tiger Boys". Moretz talked to me last month about a project based on an '80s classic......"

Jenny seems to have vaguely heard of this name, but she is not sure whether it is a profit or a loss in the parallel world - after 2009, the Chinese film market is becoming more and more prosperous, and there are more imported films that can be watched in the theater, as an audience, it is also a priority to watch movies in the theater, coupled with Chen Zhen's own taste guidance, she has almost never watched any R-rated comedies that cannot be introduced, and "The Hangover" only watched the download version for ten minutes and deleted the file directly, So although this kind of-pee-fart type of vulgar comedy can be earned, it is impossible for her to provide any authoritative reference opinions, so she can only judge with her own vision: "Is it a campus comedy?" In recent years, "American Pie" has been in decline, and school comedy seems to be a space - this part of the market always seems to be promising, and "Youth Musical" is a good example. ”

"Disney is a little too arrogant on this, and I've long told Bob that 'Musical' deserves to be played on the big screen and should be shown in theaters from the second installment onwards - it's a pity that Dick scoffs at the idea," Cesare shook his head, "It's their old problem, Dick and Richie, their feud has hampered the group's profitability - Bob will have to deal with it sooner or later." ”

Ricky. Ross is the president of Disney's Worldwide channel and Disney's television division, and he and Dick Brown, the president of Disney Films, are the presidents of Disney Films. Cook didn't have a good relationship, which is certainly not surprising, given that Robert had been in power for several years, and they were both younger than Robert -- and in such a situation, it was difficult for the two sides to get on a good footing. Jenny nodded, and said half-jokingly, "Come on, Richie—kill Dick before he can't bear to kill me." ”

Because Disney decided to cooperate with Big Dream to develop a film series based on no less than five classic fairy tales, and Jenny would not participate in the five films, which made Dick very angry and felt quite out of the stage - this is Chi. Bare. The naked land is grabbing the resources of the department, and he doesn't even give an excuse, no wonder Dick has the feeling that the department is marginalized, you know, the budget of these five movies is between 150 million and 200 million, and it is impossible for Disney to launch more than four movies of this scale a year, and Big Dream guarantees one per year, coupled with the huge investment in the commercial film starring Jenny herself, there has been a momentum of two films a year in a few years, and it is normal for his hatred of Big Dream to escalate.

"On the contrary, I also hope that Dick can stay a little longer, with his personality, Bob can control him completely, he won't cause us too much trouble, if he is replaced by a new person, it will be more variable." "Also, what do you think of the comedians produced by Saturday Nightlife?" I think it's a group with a lot of potential, and some of them can support a profitable low-cost work on their own, and maybe even bring us some high-quality ......"

Cesare's eye for choosing scripts has always been trustworthy, and Jenny does have a little impression of the name "Dragon Tiger Boys", after discussion, she decided to make this script her first priority to read at home, if she reads it and thinks there is no problem, she can start negotiations and shooting, as for the rest of the scripts, she will also find time to read them as soon as possible - this is also the current model of Big Dream, in Cesare still When the concubine is unknown, she can only hide behind the scenes, Jenny's shooting schedule is often very busy, he is more power-grabbing, often just give Jenny some documents to sign, now, he himself is the CEO, with the right to sign, but more respect Jenny, some documents will take the initiative to give Jenny a look, especially personnel appointments and dismissals, generally greet Jenny before doing it, and although Jenny does not have much interest in these things, she will never pass the buck directly like Mary - of course, she absolutely trusts Cesare will not be autocratic, But this trust is trust, what should be done is still to be done, both parties have measure, and the cooperative relationship can be long-lasting, and she still pays attention to these things.

This is the first time Jenny has been to the company in several months, plus Cesare and she have their own busy, after the meeting also has to communicate their own progress, in addition to she also has to grasp the company's movements during this time, Jenny entered the office at 10 o'clock in the morning, ate a salad at noon, took a nap for fifteen minutes, and was busy until the evening just finished the paperwork, and even did not keep up with all the progress, just when she and Cesare were going to sign the purchase contract at night, the two could talk about the copyright progress of "The Hunger Games" while walking - after Cesare returned home, Immediately began to contact the major copyright dealers, in order to play a smokescreen bomb, confuse competitors, and now he has made an offer to at least twenty copyright dealers, but "The Hunger Games" is not among them, this first round of quotations is mainly to test the attitude of major manufacturers, if Da Meng quotes, the manufacturers will end up fighting, then Da Meng would rather use the vest company to buy the remake rights, and then resell it to Da Meng, so as to reduce the commotion and quietly prepare for the adaptation of this heavyweight IP.

"Slumdog Millionaire" has been selected, will participate in this year's Cannes, as well as the London Film Festival, we arranged for the director to walk the red carpet, as for the leading actors or hide behind the scenes, I want to wait until Cannes to win the award, through the media slowly release, tell the actors' own stories." When the two got out of the elevator, Cesare was talking about the warm-up of "Millionaire" - Jenny, after several entanglements, decided to build a large-scale momentum and release "Millionaire", release this evil wolf, and let it compete with "Avatar" and "Bomb Disposal Unit" for the 2010 Oscar, originally she wanted to release the DVD directly, or simply let the finished film hide in her hands, but in the end, after determining that she would get the best picture, she still changed her mind, although she lobbied last year to give this year's "Avatar" Chong Ao left room for it, but "Avatar" she is the producer, and she has been on the stage of receiving the best picture award for three consecutive years, which is indeed a little too unrealistic, and "Avatar" has a great breakthrough in commerciality, but it is really difficult to say that there are special achievements worth mentioning in terms of artistry, rather than giving the award to "Bomb Disposal Unit", it is better to let "Millionaire" try to rush, how to say that this is also her own film, even if she can't go on stage to accept the award, it is also fat and water does not flow into the field of outsiders.

"You may not win an award in Cannes, but you should be optimistic in London, which is the home of the director and the film, by the way, is it time to start inviting film critics to see the film......" Jenny said as she walked out of the door of the office building under the cover of the bodyguard, she and Cesare both stopped in tacit agreement, Jenny raised her hand to cover her eyes, broke through the wall under the cover of the bodyguard, and quickly boarded the nanny car. …… By the way, I heard that Roger's condition has deteriorated a bit, Mary, did you send a greeting card? ”

"I've already sent flowers and cards," Mary said breathlessly, Cesare also got into the car, and the bodyguards also closed the door, and quickly sat in the driver's seat amid the sound of snapping, snapping, and shouting questions, and slowly drove out of the parking area of the office building while using the walkie-talkie to contact each other, while being chased and intercepted by the media, "Hell is really amazing today, is half of the paparazzi in Beverly Hills gathered here?" ”

"It looks like everywhere we go, there's going to be traffic jams." Cesare didn't resume the discussion immediately, but looked at the cars behind him - unlike usual, when there were only three or four car chases at most, the news was now very high, and Jenny, who had returned to China on her first day, attracted at least 15, if not 20, car chases, and it seemed that unless Jenny drove directly back to the hotel now, and then continued to leave the door, they would always find an opportunity to photograph her - even now, there were several paparazzi who couldn't see the car despite the fact that the windows were specially treated, Snapping at their car windows, unwilling to miss a chance. There were even some paparazzi vehicles rushing forward in front of the nanny car, so that the nanny car could not speed up to get rid of the paparazzi, and the entire street was occupied by this slow-moving large convoy, Jenny had already heard the angry horns of the vehicles in the distance, even if the queen was traveling, the panache was probably nothing more than this.

"If we don't give them something, I don't think they'll give up." Jenny shook her head, reluctantly judging, she glanced at Cesare, "The sooner they get it, the sooner this mess will end—are you confident?" Well? Ready to get started? ”

Mary began to snicker, and Cesare glanced coldly, but on his right Jeanne couldn't help but laugh - she had unsurprisingly earned herself a glimpse of death, Cesare's tone was visibly angry, "I have to warn you, Jefferson, that this is your plan to stick to the lead, and I have emphasized this to you - everyone has their own weaknesses, and I don't have a high talent for acting-"

"Exactly, your exact words should be - 'If I had the talent for acting, then I would have chosen to become an actor a long time ago, and with my appearance and connections, it is not difficult to become a well-known actor in a few years, and this will allow me to quickly accumulate raw capital'-" Jeanne couldn't help but smile, and bravely made eye contact with Mary in Cesare's eyes, and then tried to reassure her, "Of course, the correct understanding of yourself is the basis for success, and you are not wrong about anything-"

Mary couldn't help laughing, but soon covered her mouth and sat upright, Jenny tightened her mouth, but she couldn't help laughing a few times from her throat, and then held her mouth and coughed violently for a while, and then she returned to seriousness, "And we have also discussed, you just need to stay natural, even a little nervous is nothing, you are being photographed by the paparazzi, normal people will be a little uncomfortable and unhappy, just leave the part of the performance to me, just a few shots, wait until the initial novelty has passed, The number of paparazzi will be reduced a lot, and then we will move into a new house, so we can go in and out generously. ”

Beverly Hills wasn't really big, the place they had reserved for dinner tonight was not far from the company, and as they spoke, the nanny car had come to a slow stop on an uphill ramp, and the paparazzi were like beasts attacking, quickly reaching the door of the restaurant from the door, seizing the favorable terrain, and in the sound of almost forming a wave, Jenny said to Cesare comfortingly, "Come on, just a meal, it won't be difficult-"

Woody had already gotten out of the car, and apparently, he was a little confused by the slow pace of the backseat passengers — he knocked on the door and asked over the intercom, "How are all the bea?" ”
