Chapter 88: Win-win
"Absolutely, yes, it's definitely Jennifer and Josh. Baidu: Real name+" Jon clutched his chest, "Oh, I can't breathe - it's true!" β
Her dramatic performance drew the rolls of her mother's eyes, but her friends who went home with Jon to review their homework had the same fuss as her.
"Josh and Jennifer, I can't believe it!" One of them said in surprise.
"Josh and Jennifer? No, I don't want to believe it! Another female classmate's words were similar to hers, but the tone was very different. - In the hearts of these young girls, Josh. Blanche's popularity has always been very high, and it is normal for girl fans and crazy fans not to want their idols to get married and fall in love, even if Josh is in love with an angel, there will be people who feel that the angel is not worthy of him.
"It shouldn't be too surprising," said Harry, who said in a matter-of-fact tone, and even though he had gone to college, he still came to play with Jon often because he was studying in New York. As a boy, he doesn't really care too much about who Jennifer is in love with. "Jennifer and Josh have always been very close, and I have counted that a third of the street photos uploaded on the forum were taken during a meeting with Josh."
"Yes, Josh and Natalie are relatively unfamiliar." Jon's mother is the most senior gossip aunt, and after learning to watch the news and go to forums on the Internet, there is not much gossip in the American entertainment industry that this housewife has not mastered. "It seems that after the end of the publicity period, the two have not met again, right? Now the Natash party is going to cry, and this is definitely a victory for Janice. β
Natash and Jennish are the abbreviations of the two pairs, but they are only popular on the Internet at the moment, and they have not yet come to reality, that is, these Internet poisoning addicts only understand what Jon's mother meant, Jon was reminded by her, and hurriedly turned on the computer, "Let me go on ontd to see what netizens are saying." β
This blockbuster news has indeed made ontd lively,Usually there are dozens of replies that have been regarded as proof of popularityontd,There are more than 300 follow-up posts under this news posted today,Although the content of the theme post is just a simple paraphrase of "People",And a remake of the kiss picture,But the users who replied to the post seem to have completely read the report of "People",They have expressed their surprise and blessing attitudeγ
'They're really worthy!' β
I expected them to look so good! I'm sure Josh had something to do with Jennifer for a long time, I mean, did you see the way he looked at her the whole campaign? dude, if that's not called anything, my boyfriend is absolutely nothing to me. β
'What a big surprise, what shall I say?' I can't help but say that it's a pleasing picture for the eye, I think Ryan. Gosling should be crying right now, right? They were making a romance movie, but that film didn't get as much attention as this picture. β
Of course, there are some unfriendly replies, such as hater replies that simply hate Jennifer or Josh, but this kind of replies full of abuse such as 'I hate you, bitch, you should die' are either ignored, reported, waiting to be deleted, or ridiculed by people in replies to posts, including replies that like Jennifer and Josh too much to accept her or him falling in love, and will also be replied against. After all, in this city, most girls start to fall in love in high school, and even say that in high school, they will start sex with their lovers with the acquiescence and love of their parents. In a society that loves to explore, it is very normal and blessed for 22-year-old Jenny and 24-year-old Josh to fall in love, and there are definitely only a few who oppose it.
For some of the more mature and conservative people, Jenny and Josh have not had any other relationships in the past year or two, this is their first public relationship after becoming famous, and from the two of them realized that they were photographed, a year has passed in between, and there are many interesting things in the shooting that have left an impression on them, so this relationship gives people the feeling that the relationship is stable and everyone is serious about talking, and it also makes them quite blessed, and even their impression of the two has improved a little - a healthy relationship is definitely a plus, If there is no stable relationship for a long time, many people will instinctively become suspicious, thinking that either the celebrity has a problem with his or her sexual orientation, or he or she is too attentive to afford a stable long-term relationship, which is of course quite detrimental to personal image.
However, these followers rarely talk about these gossip on the Internet, so the tone of the reply is still more gossip and exciting, and many people confirmed that the photo was indeed taken by Jenny and Josh, and this is not after rehearsing the scene, they all began to discuss Jenny's ring.
It's on set, she probably hasn't changed into her costume yet, it's normal not to wear a ring, I don't think that means anything. β
'Come to think of it, that's Josh. Blanche, from their kiss, the two of them have definitely been dating for more than five months, look at that intimate and familiar kiss! I guess Jennifer would have taken that ring off by now! β
Jenny's street photos were immediately turned over, and the good deeds even sorted out some of her street photos according to the time, looking for clues of the chastity ring in the street photos with low accuracy, and this analysis post was quickly reprinted by some news websites. - Of course, this also once again skyrocketed the search volume of Jenny and Josh on the Internet, and even made more people know the name "Love Notebook".
It seems like she chooses to wear a ring or not to wear a ring at will. People were frustrated to find that Jennifer was probably in the mood, sometimes not seeing the ring for several street shoots in a row, but wearing it again the next time she wore it. So, did she and Josh do it? β
This is also about the common problem of all 'chastity ring' stars, although it is very vulgar, but the public's reaction is so direct, as long as you wear the ring, they will care when you take it off, if you are in love, then it is even more difficult for lovers, unless you also wear a chastity ring, otherwise the pressure is much greater than the average celebrity couple. If because of you, the other party takes off the ring, there will definitely be accusations when they break up, then in the case of Josh and Jenny, if Jenny has not taken it off, there will also be a large number of fans who think Josh is not attractive and not a 'man' enough, so they will doubt his image.
It must be said that this comes from the instinctive voyeurism of human beings, and also for Jennifer. Jefferson and Josh. Blanche's relationship has increased a lot of attention - their love should be one of the major events in the entertainment industry at the end of this year, and it is a clear stream independent of the grievances of the awards season, at least, compared to mature men and women over the age of 30 who are intriguing and fighting each other for the box office and awards, a large part of the fan crowd still prefers to watch handsome guys and beautiful women talk about a serious and pure relationship. - Of course, if they're actually dating, not just 419 or foolingaround.
Is it just for fun, or are they seriously dating?
Most of the crowd tends to be serious about dating, because Josh went to the set to visit the class, and when "People" once again exclusively broke the photo of Jennifer and Josh holding hands in New York's Times Square, the fact that the two are dating has been clearly seen, and the subsequent brief report also confirmed this. Jennifer gave an interview to People and confirmed that she and Josh have been in a serious relationship for about half a year, and that 'lately we've started to stop hiding from the media because we find it not easy to have a relationship with the media for a long time'.
Josh's spokesperson also confirmed to the media that 'Josh is now in a happy and stable relationship and he and Jennifer are very much in love'.
"The Notebook", "Star Wars Prequel 3", "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" ...... These keyword search rankings related to the two of them are rising rapidly, not to mention Jennifer. Jefferson, Josh. Blanche is a keyword too. The power of the scandal was immediate, benefiting all the projects related to them, "The Notebook" saved millions of dollars in publicity at least, and "Pirates of the Caribbean", which is about to go on sale on disc for Christmas, reminded audiences of the classic films from five months ago, and the wonderful performances of their favorite stars in the movies.
'What a lovely couple, as cute as a pair of kittens and puppies. Many people can't help but sigh when they see the news photos - compared to the kissing photos on the set, the photos of Jennifer and Josh holding hands on the streets of New York are clearer and more numerous, in the photos, although the two are not wearing couple clothes, but the colors of the clothes match very well, Josh chose a calm dark gray coat, with a horn button design with his backpack and jeans, making him look like a college student, and Jennifer is still wearing a fancy camel coat and boots, but the dark gray checked scarf around him, The flat glasses she wore and the books she held in her hand also gave her a bit of a student spirit. The image of her and Josh holding hands while talking and laughing reminds people of the campus couples that can be seen everywhere, as well as their own school time.
It would be nice to work together in a sequel. Younger fans thought of "Pirates of the Caribbean," which they had forgotten about a lot, "Well, it looks like the DVD is coming out soon, maybe I should buy it and rewatch it...... When will the sequel come out? β
Compared with another couple in the entertainment industry, the Jennifer-Ben group, who is almost a national laughing stock, Jennifer. Lopez and Ben. Affleck, Jennifer Josh combination received complete well-intentioned blessings and encouragement, although the relationship has only been exposed, they are already seen as a positive role model for showbiz couples, some public relations experts have pointed out that if Jennifer and Josh revealed their relationship at the beginning of their relationship, or like Jennifer Ben, they continue to show their love and leak kissing photos, and appear to be crazy about love, then the relationship may not have received such a good effect. Some people even compared the comments received by the two groups, studied the reasons, and finally came to the conclusion that the people did not support celebrity love, but did not support movie stars to fall in love with high-profile without doing their jobs, or even play with feelings, so when Playboy Affleck and Playboy Lopez got together, everyone was bored with their relationship, and even regarded it as a shoddy hype, and with the fiasco of Affleck's new film at the word-of-mouth box office, the public's disgust with him is also increasing day by day, At this time, the media's interest in his relationship with Lopez was already to cater to people's disgust and ugliness, just like the public watching reality TV shows and Paris. Hilton's sex. Like the videotape, the public pays attention to the relationship between the two not out of love for the person concerned, but out of guiltypleasure of voyeurism and ugliness, and they want to see how much higher Affleck can smash his life.
Jennifer and Josh, the two rising stars who have just worked together on a big hit movie, are completely different, they have a bright future and are on the rise in their careers, Jennifer's "Chicago" musical and Josh's "Star Wars Prequel 3" are all exciting, overall, people are full of expectations rather than doubts about them, and at the same time, their efforts to keep a low profile in the relationship are also appealing, which makes everyone feel that they are still career-oriented, and even the two of their two exposed dates are reminders of this - The first time was on set, which reminded everyone that Jennifer was working on a new film, and the second time was Times Square, which also reminded people of her musical. Including people-friendly attire, warm smiles, and casual body language can evoke a sense of closeness in people's hearts.
In short, although it is unfair to say, it seems that this is the case, the same is to make a movie together and fall in love, but the popularity of Jennifer Josh and Jennifer Ben is simply different. For Jennifer Ben, the new film of the collaboration hit the streets, and they have both been nominated for the 2004 Golden Sour Plum Award for Worst Actor and Actress and Worst Actor and Actress of the Decade, but Jennifer Josh not only received a blessing, but also steadily rose in popularity, Jennifer's "Chicago" musical set the highest ticket price in Broadway history, and the full ticket sales were still sold out in a few minutes, and the DVD sales of "Pirates of the Caribbean" also broke the record, selling 12.5 million copies in the first week, and waited until January 2004, Sales have already exceeded $260 million and are expected to exceed the $300 million mark by the end of the first quarter.
Factoring in the increase in footfall to Disneyland's eponymous project due to the movie's hits, according to data experts, every dollar invested in "Pirates of the Caribbean" can get back $7 - given that this is a blockbuster production with an investment of up to $140 million, such a return on investment ratio is already terrifying enough, and the three leading actors, Johnny, Jennifer and Josh, have also been named the "most profitable blockbuster actors". Their new actions have also attracted almost all the attention of the industry.
"'The Secret Window', 'Finding Neverland,'" in his 2004 film preview review, film critic Kenneth Murphy said. Turan put the trio together, "This is what we already know about Johnny. Depp's new moves, frankly speaking, I hope he will surprise us, or sign a contract extension with Disney early, otherwise according to my prediction, his newly rising value will fall back. As for the young and loving Jennifer Josh couple, Josh made two independent films last year, and it is unknown whether we will be able to see them released on a large scale in 2004, but it is good to know that the lad is back in the mainstream world, and in 2004 he will shoot and produce Star Wars Prequel 2 and another action film from Universal, Roroll, 2005! β
In the past 2003, Jennifer has been focusing on her musical theater career, and in her summer vacation, she filmed "Love Notebook", a new line of small β‘β‘ romance films, and she worked with Disney child star Ryan . Gosling, released in the summer on June 25, 2004, considering that Josh's film may not be released on a large scale, the Jennifer-Josh group will have to rely on "The Love Notebook" in 2004 to endorse, will they become a Hollywood model couple like Jennifer Bullard? Or will it be a joke like Jennifer Benn? "The Notebook" may be the answer. β
Indeed, among the Caribbean trio, Johnny's next commercial film may only be "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", which is scheduled to be released in 2006, and he will still focus on small-budget films, and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", although the investment is good, is completely regarded as a cult film. And Josh, with two series in hand, chose to hone his acting skills through low-budget films and independent films, so in 2004, the commercial value of the trio could only be reflected by Jennifer's "The Notebook".
This film has also been entrusted with different meanings - is "Pirates of the Caribbean" a red film or not a red person, or a red film and a red person? This has to be proven by its box office.

"Your $500,000 loan has been paid off," Jenny's accountant Kim is talking to her about the latest financial situation in the spacious but slightly old office, "The three million salaries of "The Notebook" have also been paid, and after Disney's sales quarter is over, you will also receive a share of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" DVD, and with the current sales, you should get 10% of the cost, which is 1% of the gross profit of 270 million, At least 2.7 million yuan of income before tax, your main income in the first half of the year should be 5.7 million, deducting taxes and your pension fund, your living expenses are expected to be about 1.5 million. β
Because Jenny is single and a high-income group, even if Jin is a very good accountant, he can't exempt her from too much tax, and in the end her tax payment will reach about 30% of her income, plus Jenny has a pension fund for herself, so there is only one and a half million left in the first half of the year.
"Remove Mary's salary for the whole year, remove the PR fee, remove the cost of buying a car, remove the rent budget, remove the renovation budget, remove the cost of buying shoes, hats and clothes, remove the cost of fitness and beauty......" Jenny said as Kim tapped on the keyboard, and finally the two of them came to the conclusion together, "The balance is around zero yuan." β
Mary had been paid a low salary for almost two years, and her work gradually increased, and she was responsible for a lot more than when she first started in New York, almost all day long, and there were few breaks every month, so it was impossible not to raise her salary. Jenny was also very satisfied with her, she was not ready to let Mary be poached in a short time, so she promised early on that she would give Mary a raise, Mary's salary and insurance alone would cost nearly $100,000 a year, the PR cost would be double or even triple that of Mary, and it would cost $200,000 to buy a good car. And although this kind of long-term rental house has a bottom decoration, it is rarely with household appliances and furniture, and 200,000 yuan is simply less than 200,000 yuan to buy these things, and if you plan to have a party in your own house, this expense can definitely not be saved.
There are also major luxury shopping budgets that must be spent in the four seasons - although Chanel has a limited number of sponsorships every season, and Valentino has also thrown an olive branch and is willing to establish a dress sponsorship mechanism, but she can't just wear these few pieces and these brands of clothes, even if she can get a discount now, the money spent on shopping and beauty every year is at least 300,000. This is the minimum living expenses of 1.2 million, and after removing a lot of scattered expenses, Jenny feels that if her hands are a little looser, the basic living expenses of 1.5 million a year can be easily spent.
Of course, it only started in 2004, and then she still has Disney's DVD sales share, according to the current curve, this share can bring her at least another 2.7 million, if she takes over other films in 2004, there will be another millions of income, as well as the share of "Love Notebook", Jenny is unlikely to worry about her rice in the future. Since 05, there are still two contracts with a total amount of 20 million waiting for her, as long as she does not get infected with any extravagant hobbies, her financial situation can only get better and better, but this is not to say that Jenny has no worries.
ββAlthough her expected income is high, isn't she out of cash now? "The Devil Wears Prada" has gradually warmed up, and it may be launched soon, but she has no money to invest now, and the pension fund she has just started saving is a pitiful million dollars, and Jenny herself will laugh off her big teeth with this money to invest.
And what's worse is that if she can't bring money into the group, I'm afraid it's really hard to compete for Natalie in this role. Portman. It's February 2004, and Natalie is almost done filming "Star Wars Episode 3", and she has also unexpectedly expressed interest in "Devil Wears Prada". Wiesberg has always been dissatisfied with the selection of actors, Natalie's asking price is too high, and Jenny is not only asking for a low price, but also can bring money into the group, which is very tempting for Fox, the crew is likely to have chosen Natalie a long time ago, after all, compared with this hand-held award nomination, there are many blockbuster films, spanning series, action movies, romance films and comedy films, etc., compared with the high-achieving students who are regarded as national darlings, Jennifer has been completely blown away in terms of acting skills, popularity and box office appeal.
The reason why Fox has been hesitant is because Natalie's asking price is as high as 10 million, and she has to share the box office, while Jenny not only only wants 3 million, but is also willing to invest the maximum allowed by Fox - that is, between one-third and one-quarter of the investment in this film, about 10 million to 12 million - so calculated, one in and one out is the difference between 50 million and 25 million for Fox, which is already a big gap for a small-budget women's film.
If it's only a few million, of course it's Natalie, but now it's 25 million, Fox has to weigh it, 25 million is enough to make another women's movie, and now the box office of women's movies on the market is about 100 million, and the slightly worse is tens of millions, and there is only one that can reach 200 million in the world like "BJ's Single Diary". The production cost of 50 million may be very large, and it is unlikely that this film will make a sequel, and according to Cesare's feedback, Fox is now also negotiating with Natalie through Jenny's low offer. They don't expect Natalie to bring money into the group, but they hope that Natalie can cut back on her high price.
After getting out of King's place, Jenny didn't go to see the house, but drove to the airport and flew back to New York, where she had just left. She's going on an important date, a date that might determine whether or not she can star in Prada. - Although she had been performing in New York for the first few months, the time had not yet come, and it was only now, in the middle of the negotiations, that Cesare made an appointment with Westberg, the original author of Prada, in the hope that she would be the key player in breaking the situation, and with Jeanne's low price and capital strategy, she was propelled to the throne of the female lead of "Prada" in one fell swoop.
The author has something to say: Note: 1 Jennifer. Lopez and Ben. Affleck has been hated and ridiculed by all Americans since he fell in love in 2002, and it seems that no one really blesses him, and the star careers of both of them have been greatly affected...... Ben's movie hit the street one by one, and he couldn't be a direct actor, so he changed careers to become a director, and Jennifer hasn't received a big production since then, and even if she won the award, she couldn't stop the downward trend and began to reduce production...... In the first half of the chapter, they were still together at the end of 2003, and in the second half they seemed to have broken up in February 2004. (I don't know why Americans hate them so much.)
In the same way Jennifer. Aniston and Brad. Pete is still in love at this time, model couple, if Jenny took the Smiths, I don't know if these two will divorce, poof-
Updated~
Jenny started to make money - but why did she still feel poor......
