Chapter 90: The power of voice rises

"How's this house?" Josh asked, "The location is good, the front yard is big, and there are pine trees planted around, so there aren't many angles that the paparazzi can shoot." ”

"I think it's good." Judy took a few picky steps back and forth in the front yard meadow, "I think this is one of the best we've seen in an afternoon. ”

The most expensive houses in Beverly Hills are in the hills, it is very common for a mansion to be entrenched on a very small hill, Jenny is now looking at this house is located at the top of a large gentle slope, the single-story usable area is about 150 square meters, a total of two floors, the front yard is not small, if it is not the terrain, it should be no problem to get a tennis court, the backyard also has a swimming pool and barbecue area, there are four bedrooms indoors, the master bedroom, the large guest bedroom have walk-in closets, of course, as for the jacuzzi, gym and ** Needless to say, the bathroom is spacious enough to be converted into a games room, home theater or other use. There is also a garage on the side of the house, and the compartment above the garage can also be used as a maid's room. The total area of this house is about 600 square meters, which is considered a medium-sized luxury house in Beverly, Hollywood. Compared to it, Lilian lived in a single-family house, far from a mansion.

However, compared to those castles in the acre, this house is far from being a lot of nothing - just like the mansion with a large garden in the castle, it still exists in Hollywood, such as Michael. Jackson's 'Neverland' is a dream mansion, converted from a ranch, covering an area of more than 1,000 hectares, with a private amusement park, a zoo, an artificial lake, a movie theater, and a sports field, just to buy more than 10 million yuan of land, and the follow-up renovation cost is astronomical. Most of Hollywood's real top financiers live in such top mansions. Bruckheimer's big house can't be compared, that is, it is a more decent choice for a newcomer to the film like her, who has just debuted. If she were a little more famous, maybe Judy would dislike the house for not being imposing enough.

"The reason why you like it the most is because the rent of this house is also the most expensive of the few I saw this afternoon, right?" Jenny said with a smile.

Judy also did not deny that "there can never be a mistake in choosing the best you can afford." Jennifer, if I were you, I'd rent this set. ”

"Well, I have to say, if I had to live in a big house, this one would seem to be the best option intellectually." Jenny can't help but admit that from the perspective of her young grandmother in a real estate company, this plate is more beautiful than those just now. "How much is this offer?"

"If you sign a long-term contract for more than two years, the monthly rent is 30,000 yuan," the real estate agent said with a reserved and friendly smile, and luxury real estate agents like her are specially trained to never be overly attentive in their eagerness to please their clients. There are also no celebrity chefs who pretend to be high-minded - this is the case with the Maastro that Jenny and Cesare have eaten before, from the chef to the waiter, who prefers local foodies to tourists or business diners, so when she orders a salad, the waiter's attitude changes from enthusiasm to politeness. But she went again recently, this time even if she only had a salad, the other party was still very enthusiastic, from this point of view, or the attitude of the real estate agent is more consistent, whether you rent or not, you are so humble and not arrogant. "I noticed that if you are not satisfied with the color of the exterior of the house, the company can repaint it before paying the rent, and if you have any other requirements, the company will also take them into account."

The market price of this suite should be around β–‘β–‘ million US dollars, the monthly rent is 30,000 yuan, and the rent-to-sale ratio is about 1:300, which is quite suitable for rent. Although the budget is over, the annual rent is going to be 360,000, but it is not a figure she can't afford, Jenny thought about it for a while and agreed, "I'll call my accountant." ”

The real estate agent immediately smiled, but still lost no time in politely asking, "Okay, so do you want to keep the furniture?" ”

In order to facilitate rental, the company has placed a lot of high-end furniture in the house, if you want to use it directly, pay an extra deposit, and you can get the deposit back after the inspection when you return it. However, Jenny had a bit of a cleanliness habit with these daily necessities, and she shook her head, "I'll buy it myselfβ€”Josh, you have something to do in the next few days." ”

"No problem, dear." Josh jokingly wrapped his arms around her waist and said to the agent, "Lydia, if you don't already know, I have a shopaholic girlfriend." ”

"And she makes your vacation boring, doesn't she?" Jenny laughed and said, "I bet if you had known I was looking for a house, you would have loved to stay in London for a little longer." ”

Josh had just finished filming and recording in London, and there were still a few months to go before his next new film, and Jenny and his loving couple were remarried after a few months of intermittent separation. In such a situation, it is very illogical that Josh does not accompany her to see the house, and Disney needs some publicity lately to keep the brand visible in people's minds. Therefore, in order to see the news that 'Josh accompanies Jennifer to see the house tomorrow, and the insider revealed that the two will live together', Josh must show his good boyfriend side today, and show his affection with Jenny in front of the paparazzi and real estate agents, in order to avoid embarrassment, Claudia did not follow at all.

Their intimate gesture made the agent Lydia's face blush with a slight excitement, and her composure seemed a little fragile, but she remained reserved for the most part. "Women are like thatβ€”you're a very sweet couple."

"Thank you." Jenny held Josh's hand and turned back to kiss him on the cheek. "Handsome, why don't you move in and live with me, I'll be scared if I live alone in such a big house."

"Really?" Josh asked, "Isn't it enough to have Mary with you?" ”

"It would be better if there was Claudia and you." Jenny replied, but she was really just joking, and such a big event as cohabitation had to be strictly controlled, just like engagement and marriage, and the pace could not be too fast or too slow. She and Josh have only been in a public relationship for less than a year, and both of them are still very young, in this case, if they live together or even get engaged, the public will think that this is an immature decision, and there will not be too many blessings, which will have a negative impact on the popularity of the two. "And Lilian, Judy, and Cesare, all of whom are living in it."

"Then you'll need Lydia to introduce you to a party paradise." Josh put his arm around her waist and shook it back and forth, and kissed Jenny on the cheek affectionately, "I heard I just quit a contestant villa. ”

"Yes, they will choose another big house for the contestants next season." Lydia also quipped, "Actually, that room is not far from here, so if you're interested, you can check it out." However, the house has now been owned by Lear. Wayne went on a loan, which he loved and felt that the ratings from the previous season would bring good luck to his new album. ”

In Hollywood, it is very common for celebrities to change houses, some people are bankrupt, some people want to change to a bigger house because they are richer, some people are simply bored of living, and some people want to change houses because of divorce and relationship changes. There is an unwritten rule among celebrities, if the previous owner of the house happens to be a celebrity, and he moves out because the finances do not allow it, usually no second celebrity will rent it, most of them are rented by some curious wealthy businessmen. And if this house has lived in a powerful big man before, or such a popular program group, then the popularity will be very high. Jenny also liked this house in part because of Judy. Foster lived here until he won the Oscar, and only after he got the actress did he sell the house to a rental company and move to another part of the villa himself.

Jenny looked at her watch, she was a little tired, "If it's a big house like I want, I'll have to get a few people to live in it so that I won't be afraid?" ”

"I guess Lear doesn't sleep alone every night anyway." Josh let go of his hand around Jenny, and the two naturally separated.

Judy walked out of the dining room and pointed at Josh with a gossipy expression, "Youbetcha, in fact, Wayne's biggest annoyance every night is that there is no place for him on his king's bed. ”

"I think he can sleep on the women, and that's not going to be a problem." Josh said that Judy laughed with him.

Jenny rolled her eyes, "You're talking like you're a bad boy too, Joe, it's all about saying it and not doing it." ”

In Hollywood, it's all too easy for stars to go bad, or the other way around, if they don't, they have a very strong sense of self-control. Beverly has countless nightclubs and parties, packed with beautiful young women in heavy makeup, chasing celebrities like sharks chasing blood, they don't want anything, they just want to have a moment with celebrities, like Lear. A popular rapper like Wayne, as long as he declares his name, there will be dozens of girls leaving with him at any party. If he had a party by himself, the party would have been crowded with girls with other purposes, of course, there were ubiquitous drug dealers, party professionals who were addicted to drugs and alcohol, assistant agents who wanted to open up their connections, and celebrity friends who were ready to make a move, crew members who simply came to have fun, and rich men and women who wanted to get close to the party owner...... In short, everything you want, money, alcohol, poison. Quality, beauty, connections, a Hollywood party can satisfy you.

Even if you go just to make connections at the beginning, it will inevitably be contaminated with other factors, after all, these are all things that can be exchanged for money directly. This is also a big reason why Hollywood stars have a high bankruptcy rate - cigarettes, alcohol, edge drugs, and sex are all very expensive, once you start collecting famous wine, building a cigar room, or trying some less dangerous drugs, or hoping for fresh faces to laugh with you every night, then your salary will be spent quickly, and the bank is very willing to borrow money from popular stars, and if you have a little less self-control, and you are not sensitive to finances, there should be no reliable people around you to keep an eye on. There are also stars who earn tens of millions of dollars a year and still can't make ends meet. Michael. Jackson is the best example, he is still the world's top pop i, and he has no bad habits, but because he is too keen on charity, he is forced to sell his never-ending land to pay off his debts, and his family, like Jenny, also rents a house.

Josh, for example, is very respectable at this point, Jenny has been to several parties with him, not to mention drugs, and even says no to wine Josh many times, this man is completely pure Amish, he can even turn a blind eye to a pool of cool bikini beauties. Jenny thought she couldn't do that herself, and Joshbee, not only would she borrow money from the bank, often in debt, but she would also sometimes eat some strong man's tofu with her eyes.

"We can go to Lear's party together tonight and show you if I dare to say or not." Not to be outdone, Josh replied, but even Lydia could see his bluff, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh a few times, which led everyone, including Josh, to laugh too.

As Jenny expected, just as she methodically signed a contract, bought furniture and daily necessities, and entered college to officially start taking two courses, the news about her and Josh's imminent cohabitation also appeared in the gossip pages of major newspaper websites.

The reporter attached a photo of Jenny and Josh looking at the house, the two were still wearing simple and elegant, color-matched clothes, and attached an appreciative and warm report, 'The long-distance relationship does not seem to interrupt the development of Elizabeth and Will's relationship, this relationship began last fall, the lovers were separated from each other at the beginning, each filmed, during which they could only visit each other occasionally, and now they have finally ended more than half a year of separation and returned to Hollywood. According to an unknown close friend of Jennifer's, Jennifer and Josh are in a very stable relationship, and they both share the same hobbies and prefer to spend the night quietly at home instead of going to parties for fun. It seems that this relationship may come to fruition one day, will they be the first for each other? It doesn't matter, as long as they're the last of each other, it's enough. ’

Crazy fans are going to be disappointed, Janice will not break up anytime soon, and the staff of the real estate company said that they have never seen such a polite Hollywood couple, and their relaxed conversation makes it possible to feel the stable relationship between them. ’

Although the genres are different, the caliber of the major media is quite unified, even if there is no follow-up by Judy, they are all reported in the tone of 'two young people with good conduct and steady career progress', and word of mouth has been established. Of course, what kind of benefits such a reputation and image will bring to their careers, it is not a sentence or two that can be clearly explained.

Josh could enjoy his vacation to the fullest, going to Jenny's house every now and then to help Jenny with Claudia and Mary with some house-setting chores, or the three of them sweating in the gym and playing video games in front of the TV, but Jenny was not as laid-back as he was, and she couldn't remember the last time she had really taken a relaxing vacation - it was probably back before the time travel, and she barely had more than two days off in the three years from 2001 to 2004.

While tidying up the house, she chose two simple credit courses that could be passed purely by mixing, and she shook it when she had nothing to do, in addition to harvesting some campus street photography, it was also considered to be mixed attendance, and during this period she was not idle in her career - the contract negotiations have been in full swing, and of course, there are post-reshoots, recordings, and final editing previews, and Jenny still wants to break the twenty-four hours of the day into thirty-six hours. It is estimated that after the house is cleaned up, she will have to take a long leave again, she has completed the script writing, once the funding is confirmed and the script is revised, the shooting will start immediately, and Cesare wants to contact her with an action movie or a literary film to continue filming during the filming.

"At the moment, I haven't received any very tempting offers, and there are no movies on the market that are perfect for your role - just in case you have any genius ideas." He glanced at Jenny and compared the script cabinet beside him, "You can do a preliminary screening under these two categories first, and find out a few scripts to discuss with me." ”

Although the previous showdown methods were relatively inferior, her voice was indeed improving, Jenny held her mood and tone, "Give me a day or two, and I will discuss it with you after I finish reading." ”

She is going to work overtime to finish these scripts, remove the ones in her memory, and if there is a big explosion in her memory, she will take them out and discuss with Cesare whether it is suitable for her to play. However, after all, this is the follow-up work arrangement, and the most important thing now is the performance and investment contract with Fox.

"How's the negotiations with Fox going?" Jenny asked, "We managed to kick out Karen. Rosenfeldt? ”

It was Cesare's idea to kick out Karen, since he learned that Karen had something to hide from him, he teamed up with Lauren to directly put pressure on Fox and protest, although Karen is also a very senior producer, but under the two big hats of abuse of power and racial discrimination, he was also forced to be embarrassed, and it was even more difficult for Fox to deal with Lauren's strong backlash, and the tone has gradually loosened recently, and it seems that Karen's exit is only a matter of time.

And the biggest advantage of kicking her out, of course, is the expansion of Jenny's voice in this project, and the other is to maintain her dignity - because Jenny's recent injection has been preliminarily determined at about 10 million, which means that she alone occupies nearly one-third of the investment budget, and is already one of the main funders. If she doesn't leave, will Fox still take Jenny's temper seriously? At that time, even if it is just a trivial matter such as changing the script, it is likely that they will not cooperate.

This kind of way of killing people, Jenny is still relatively clear, the best thing is that everything is arranged by Cesare, she does not need to come forward to negotiate, so she and Cesare are very consistent on this point, if Fox wants this 10 million to be in place as soon as possible, then kicking Karen out is their first priority. Kick her out, get the money, don't kick her out, I'm sorry, we have to continue to protest.

"Wendy. Fenneman signed with Fox this morning," a smile tugged at Cesare's lips, "but Fox still wants to keep a spot on the credits for Karen, and I've promised them." ”

"Very well," Jenny said happily, "So, when are we going to have a formal editorial meeting?" Wendy, David, Elaine, and I, oh, of course, if you could come, I'd like you to join in - or if you could help me rehearse my rhetoric. ”

Wendy was a producer and longtime friend of Cesare's, David. Frank is the director - also the director and Wendy's friend, Elaine is the script writer, and with Jenny as the female lead and financier, the core creative team of the film has been finalized.

"One more thing, Lauren contacted me today, she hopes to join the ranks of screenwriters and check the film." "I haven't responded yet." ”

He agreed to Fox's request because it didn't matter if Karen's name was left or not, but he didn't agree to Lauren because the scriptwriting was related to the quality of the film. Jenny felt that her collaboration with Cesare was shifting in the direction she liked, and she loved the feeling of being part of the decision-making. "Is it written in the contract that she can ask to be a screenwriter - I don't really want her, and with her, I can't change Andy to what I want."

She had already spoken to Cesare about the changes she wanted, and Cesare found her idea interesting, but was not sure what the final result would be. He nodded at Jenny's judgment, "Lauren will definitely not allow you to change her avatar to that way, but she does not have the power to participate in the screenwriting, and Fox will not let people at this point." Of course, most adaptors will try to keep in good contact with the original party......"

"But the author has publicly scolded the producer, which does not prevent the big sale." Jenny said, winking smugly at Cesare, "I've seen that news. ”

"Yes." Cesare smiled businessly, "I'll put off the reply until after the meeting, and if you change Andy's approach and it's vetoed, there's no need to offend Lauren." ”

"No problem." Jenny said, looking down and flipping through the memo, "Anything else?" Oh, and by the way, there's the premiere......"

"No," to her surprise, Cesare shook his head and pushed Jenny's notepad aside instead of talking about the mountains of things that needed to be confirmed by her. "It's time for us to talk about a relatively more important issue."

Jenny looked up in surprise and sat up straight, "You mean?" ”

"Isn't it time for you to consider starting a company, Jenny?" Cesare said, "It's time for you to have your own team, right?" ”

The author has something to say: Note: 1 Lear. Wayne, you know who it is, right? He became famous in 199x, the king of hip-hop. By the way, the hip-hop industry is one of Hollywood's most erosive and accident-loving circles, and it is also common to take revenge and kill anything. What I remember most about Lear is the ugly crying diamond teeth, which are black here (in fact, it can't be called black, his real life is definitely more erosive than that.)

2 The Amish said it before. By the way, you can take a look at Baidu to see how rich the Yongwu Township where MJ used to live is. And Jenny's rent or something, I refer to some information to set, if anyone thinks the price is too high or too low, you can leave a message to discuss.

3 The original author scolded the producer for making Forrest Gump stupid and sweet, in fact, Forrest Gump is a very obscene and gloomy person in the original book (I think), anyway, the original author feels that the movie completely distorts the essence of the original book...... It's true

4. Producers and directors are both real-world teams. The Prada intro has the logo of the producer's studio.
