Chapter 77: Entertainment to Death
"There's no way I'm going to accept that." Jenny followed Cesare out of his office, "It's completely beyond my patience. β
"Hi, Jenny."
"Jennifer."
Agents and assistants greeted Jenny one after another, and even Mary was treated with a smile and a nod of her head. After the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean", Jenny's visit to CAA has rarely been ignored anymore.
"Your anger at this is a bit unusual," Cesare, still with that calm expression, led Jeanne to the conference room, "calm down, Jenny, this has happened, and all you can do is make better use of it." β
So we're going to tolerate that? I mean, I know "The Oprah Show" likes to do this kind of trick, but aren't they a little too exaggerated? Jenny slammed the door to the conference room, "How much effort and money did it take them to investigate her whereabouts?" This incident makes me feel sick! β
Judy and Julian both stood up, Julian a little nervous in front of Jeanne's rage, and he timidly greeted Cesare, "Mr. Vijeri." β
"Chesa." Judy glanced at Jenny with a little concern, and exclaimed in a meaningful tone.
"You may be seated." Cesare sat down at one end of the conference table, adjusting the slide projector himself, "Jenny, if you have no objection, let's start the meeting now?" β
Jenny snorted, and Cesare flipped the switch.
"Oprah. The Winfrey Show, the most influential talk show in the nation, has been on the air for 17 years, and so on," Cesare said, "and I'm sure you already know the data, or Judy has already introduced you, and if not, you can find it on Wikipedia yourself -- it's an interesting new site, and there's a lot of informative information -- and now let me give you a little bit of an in-depth introduction to why you're on this show, first of all, I want you to know, Oprah. Winfrey's every move directly affects lower-middle-class housewives and professional women across the United States, what Oprah recommends, what is popular, what Oprah derogatories, what industry is affected, it is not an exaggeration to say, Oprah. Winfrey is the most powerful woman in the United States. β

"Welcome back," Oprah, dressed casually in a loose brown dress, wasted not a second before introducing the week's celebrity guests, "You may not have heard her name, but you must have seen her face, she and her pirate ship flashed on every TV screen this summer, and of course, if you were a New Yorker, you'd have heard her name earlier." Arguably one of the youngest actresses in Broadway history, she became the lead actress in "Chicago" at the age of 21, playing the role of Lockhee, a young woman older than her age, and was highly recognized by critics and nominated for a Tony Award this year. IMDB has been the No. 1 filmmaker for two consecutive weeks, Yahoo searches for the fastest rising keyword, and today it is this super newcomer who came to our stage - Jennifer. Jefferson. β
Amid the enthusiastic applause and cheers of the audience, Jennifer smiled and waved to the camera, and nodded to Oprah, "Hi Oprah, it's a pleasure to be a guest on your show." β
"Jennifer, this is a beautiful dress." Oprah walked back to her 'master's seat' and affectionately complimented, "I like your pearl necklace too." β
"Thanks, this is Ralph. Lauren's shirt and Givenchy's skirt," Jennifer said with a smile, she is wearing an off-white short-sleeved shirt and a camel skirt today, with a black belt, her straight blonde hair is draped down, and the makeup is relatively plain, which is in line with her style of avoiding heavy makeup, such as lipstick, Jenny rarely uses red lipstick, usually always with some color cast, either pink or pink, today is the use of nude lipstick, and also put an end to false eyelashes and thick eyeliner, So the whole image looks quite young, very much like a campus girl. "I don't know what brand of necklace it is, it was worn by my costume."
"Hopefully they have an oversized size for me to sell." Oprah said wittily, triggering bursts of laughter, including Jon and Mom in front of the TV, Oprah's chubby appearance has always been a topic of discussion, and she herself is not shy about talking about her weight, and recently, Oprah is in her obesity period. "Jennifer, I have to say I've always admired your style of dressing, I mean, I've seen your musicalsβ"
In the midst of the cheers, Jenny smiled as well, and Oprah said to the camera, "Ye, ye, I know what you're thinking, no, it's not for the show, I once went to New York and a friend gave me a ticket, okay, this is my dating story, I shouldn't share too much with you-"
This is the secret of the success of "Oprah talk show", unlike those talk shows that race against time, Oprah rarely talks about the current affairs of the day, in the first half of the show, she will find a hot topic to talk about, today's topic is the impact of frequent slum shootings on nearby residents, so as to discuss gun control issues. In the second half, she invited celebrities to do in-depth interviews, and she did not sell with sharpness and humor, but won the audience's love with this relaxed and happy heart-to-heart atmosphere. In late-night talk shows, such as Jenny's "The Late Show," commenting on her outfit is an almost unimaginable waste of time, and the audience won't buy it, but Oprah's topic is exactly what interests the audience on and off screen, and she can also talk about her dating life with the audience very naturally, as if she was chatting with friends.
"Anyway, after I saw the musical, I was conquered by her, and I admit that of course I read some gossip magazines, and I have to say that every time - every time I see your street shots, you look very laid-back and well-dressed, which is a very rare quality for young girls nowadays, agree with me or not, even there are some girls in today's society who don't know how to wear clothes at all."
Jon's mother snorted and glanced at Jon, who grimaced. "Is she going to talk about J.J.'s clothes in this episode?"

"You've got a lot of popularity among teenagers," Cesare sent a report to attendees, "and that's the survey feedback I got from Disney, and in the midnight show of the 18-25 year olds, about 45 percent of the 18-25 year olds thought you were the best in the movie, Johnny took the remaining 40 percent, and Josh only got 15 percent." Of the remaining 30 percent of 25-40 year olds, 30 percent think you're the best, 60 percent think Johnny is the best, and Josh and other characters share 10 percent. β
"I've got a small sample survey here before the opening, and the audience that came to watch the midnight show was 40% for Josh, 40% for Johnny, and the remaining 20% was purely attracted by the trailer, and if you take this data seriously, from the data of the midnight show, we can draw such a very rough conclusion, which is that you have the best performance, you have 40%, Josh has 13%, Johnny has 47%, in fact you are stealing the support of the teenagers who belong to Josh. Johnny still retains his adult support for the most part. Cesare flipped the page, "We're going to introduce gender divisions, and it's pretty much the same among the teens who support you, and it's not surprising that little girls like pretty peers a lot of the time, but we can see that the adult group that supports you is almost 90 percent male, which means that most of the adult female audience at the midnight show doesn't like you." β
He paused for a moment, "You must know that midnight audiences are usually more willing to spend money on movies and are more fanatical, this group is the core group that every film company values very much, and female audiences are even more concerned by the filmmakers because of their strong purchasing power." β
"And Oprah was able to make up for my shortcomings." Jenny said in a cold tone, "A well-arranged show can allow me to gather popularity among middle- and low-class housewives and white-collar workers in the 25-40s." β
"We should say that you need this part of the female popularity." Cesare straightened up, "And you know what they like best?" - Oprah, study the elements that Oprah has been selling, you will know what this market likes and what image it needs, this is not the talk show you want to be on in order to promote "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Oprah Show" is a show that I personally connect with, I want to completely stereotype your image in this episode, so that you can get rid of the shadow of those female criminals. Jenny, you're only 22 years old, and you can't play the lawless roles that can't get you into the mainstream β and we need you to go mainstream, and you have to get on The Oprah Show. β
"So you arranged it all?" Jenny asked, "Including my so-called mother?" β
#
"When did you start changing your style?" After a minute or so of casual chit-chat, Oprah shifted gears and got to the point, "I'm presumptuous, but as I said, I'm a gossip magazine lover." β
She picked up a magazine from the side of the couch and showed the audience, "Some of your stories were written in this book of People last year, and in this interview you shared with us your life story, and you and the person we were talking about just now, Colin. Powell, like me at the time, was a man from a poor family, a man from a low-income family, in our words, the fulfiller of the American dream. β
The audience exclaimed, Oprah made an expression of understanding, "I know, I know, she doesn't seem to have the air of low-income people - I can be honest - when I first graduated from college, it took me a long time to find my style of dressing, and I still have some farm habits, but Jennifer seems to be a child of a noble family, so it's not a division of class, but it's true that your background and your performance are completely inconsistent, It makes me feel very puzzling. β
"Well, if it's all about styling consultants, wouldn't you be disappointed?" Jenny asked, and in Oprah's shaking her head and smiling, she thought and said, "I'm not saying I don't understand your question, but it's because I and you both come from very poor neighborhoods that we can face up to this fact - we are not from a place where we are born is not an ideal place for a child to live, where your rights are not guaranteed, and it is difficult for you to learn, if I don't rise up and change my destiny and leave this class, then I may be addicted to drugs and alcohol and become a single mother by now, I can only support myself and my children by striptease, and I can die in an alley at any time and at any time - I say this because my father and mother are very typical of this kind of slum dwellers. My biological father is now serving a sentence in Alabama State Penitentiary and cannot be released for the rest of his life, he is a felony of robbery, my mother ran away from home before he was in prison, according to my grandmother, she was a dancer in a local nightclub before she ran away from home, but I don't have much of an impression, in fact there is not the slightest trace of my parents in my memory, I have always grown up with my grandmother, I have to say, when I was six years old, it was actually a relief to hear that my father was in prison, and I already understood a little bit at that time, Every time he came to my grandmother's house, my grandmother would lock me in my room, but then I would find her sad face and some bruises, and then we would become very poor and have to live on foodstamps. β
Sympathetic sighs rang out from the audience, many viewers in front of the TV gasped, Jon had covered his mouth, and Jon's mother kept shaking her head and stopped what she was doing.
"I understand your feelings, it's a very chaotic world." Oprah said sincerely, "You don't know where your tomorrow is, everyone is fooling around, and you don't seem to have any other way but to go crazy with them." β
"Yes, I've been in foster care since my grandmother died," Jenny said calmly, "I heard you talk about the shooting in the break room just now, and I have a say in that, I remember in my first foster home, when I was 13 years old, and my grandmother had just died - I had nothing, my grandmother's estate couldn't pay off her mortgage, the bank only allowed me to take my clothes, and then I was lying in bed and listening to the banging sound that was coming from nearby, about a street away, and the next morning, The eldest brother of that family told me that the whole family died in a burglary -- a crime for which my father was sentenced in prison, and it was like a reincarnation, you know? I thought every day that I was going to die from this, or to be victimized by some other crime. I was a very beautiful little girl, but at that time I dressed myself up very manly, with a big grin, full of dirty words, almost never went out, and hid in my room every day when I came home, because many of my classmates had been sexually abused. That kind of life is unimaginable for the children of good families, and it is the hell of living. β
Her plain face was still calm, and her tone was restrained and calm, and Oprah let out a sympathetic choke, "Butβbut you handled these things sensibly. β
"Yes, I've always had this thought in my mind β as I've said in this interview, that I'm going to get out of this life when I can." Jenny seemed a little excited, her voice was high-pitched, "My parents are victims of this slum life, and they have turned into perpetrators, this is one - a reincarnation, they made me very randomly, I am not the crystallization of love, nor the product of marriage, just the result of a drunken and indiscriminate hookup, the reason why I survived was because my biological mother was very negligent, and it was not until six months later that she found out that she was not fat, but pregnant, and at that time it was no longer suitable for abortion." β
There was another sympathetic voice from the scene, and Oprah took Jenny's hand, "Honey-"
"You know, my agent has been advising me to keep these things a secret." Jenny adjusted her emotions and smiled self-deprecatingly, "He said these things would ruin the public image I've built......"
#
"Rather than an elegant, stylish and fashionable image, housewives need public figures who can make them look down and arouse motherhood." "Teenagers need to look up to their idols, and housewives need to be more approachable, troubled, and like them, with the same difficulties in life, rather than a perfect image that makes them instinctively jealous," Cesare stressed. Young girls want to be elegant and beautiful young women, but housewives are mature enough to know that they don't have that hope. Your past can evoke in them a sense of intimacy and compassion, let them know that you are an emotionally close person, and make them feel that they are close to you. So, revealing your past on "The Oprah Show" is the most suitable precision marketing, and on what other platforms can we reveal these to the public, is it "People"? β
"Jennifer, Cesare is right," Judy rubbed her eyebrows, "no matter how disgusted you are, The Oprah Show is indeed the most suitable platform, first of all, you must know that the paparazzi will definitely turn their attention to your past, it is only a matter of time, rather than leaving this opportunity to the uncontrollable media, it is better for us to seize the opportunity and public opinion on the Oprah Show, besides, with the popularity of the Oprah Show, your popularity will continue to rise, which will be very good for strengthening your position......"
Jenny gradually calmed down from her anger, "But isn't that overexposure?" I don't see too many movie stars talking about their private lives on talk shows, not that they don't ask, of course, but talking about and consuming their private lives at such lengths and even as a selling point - even TV stars don't do such things! β
"But now they've got your mother in their hands." Cesare leaned forward, "I know you're being taken advantage ofβlook down on it!" Think about it carefully, if you don't cooperate, the "Oprah Show" program team gives up on her, and then what? Then she will run to contact tabloid reporters, will publish books about you, will unscrupulously consume your fame against you, and even make a profit from it. β
"The only solution is for me to take the lead and cooperate with "The Oprah Show" to continue to heat up my popularity." Jenny admits, "It really looks like it's the best way out." β
"See her, reconcile with her, at least on the surface to reach a preliminary settlement, I will find someone to sign a contract with her, if she dares to talk about your private life to the outside world, whether it is publishing a book or giving interviews, she will face a sky-high fine, if she is honest, you can pay her a small amount of money a year to support her." Cesare spread his hands, "And you'll never hear her name again, it's all settled." β
#
"I don't think so!" Oprah interrupted Jenny excitedly, "I don't agree with him, did you do something wrong?" No, why is it stopping you from confronting your past? I'm sure my audience, the thousands of women in front of the television, will applaud your courage and perseverance, your wisdom, am I wrong, friends? β
In the United States, except for a few large urban circles, the rest of the vast land is actually monotonous small cities and small towns, and there are many housewives with low education living in such small places, and their most common entertainment is to watch TV, and the aesthetics of these housewives are actually very close to daytime soap operas and talk shows and reality shows. Either their aesthetics have promoted the development of these entertainment programs towards vulgarization, or these programs have cultivated their simpler aesthetic tastes, which is no longer clear, but in any case, some Chinese seem to be too deliberately sensational, but for them it is the best weapon, Jenny's life is a natural tear gas for them, even if she herself handles it very blandly, it is enough to move these simple audiences. In other words, it is precisely because she said it very plainly, this kind of 'calm after the vicissitudes of life' touched the housewives even more.
"So, you never heard from your mother again?" Oprah asked, "Not once in your upbringing?" β
"Not at all." Jenny shook her head, "I said that I was with my grandmother all the time after I was born, maybe she was the one who took care of me for a year or two after I was born, but I obviously have no memory. There really is no such thing as a mother in my life. Of course, there are some problems with the welfare system in our country, but it is true that I am a child of the welfare system, without the welfare system, it is difficult for me to get enough food in my childhood, and of course it is impossible for me to enter the foster family later, I have always been very grateful to this great country, if there is anyone closer to the role of mother, it should be said that the state - really, it is the whole welfare institution that gave me food, and the church, so I grew up with a very deep affection for both institutions. β
The audience in the television set burst into warm laughter, and many viewers in front of the television nodded in agreement, the United States has done a good job in patriotic education, and most Americans are proud patriots and devout Christians. Jenny's words made them feel closer to this beautiful girl, and they were more interested and appreciative of what she had achieved so far. There are even many housewives who live on farms who plan to drive into town tonight to see "Pirates of the Caribbean" and enjoy her performance.
"So, that's why you're wearing this ring?" Oprah gestured to Jenny's hand, "Is this your rebellion against the reason you were born?" A kind of protest against your mother? β
"I wouldn't say it was a protest against my mother...... Maybe it's because there's never been a relationship with her memories, and, you know, among my classmates, there aren't many people with normal families, so I think it's a natural thing, a lot of people don't have a father, a mother, and I don't have either, but I have a grandmother, and that's enough. Jenny shrugged, "But this ring is really a determination on my part, and it doesn't just represent what it means (chastity), it also represents something I want to remember when I leave Alabama...... We must be cautious about our lives, make every day meaningful, and take responsibility for our future lives. β
"This girl is very smart." Father Jon unknowingly, too, saw that he could only see the evening replay, which was supposed to be the background sound of reading the newspaper, but these words made him put the newspaper down. "It's also very deep."
"Come to think of it, Jon, she's not a few years older than you." Mother Jon turned to her daughter, "But she's done so much, and if you could be like her, we'd never ask you to go to college in New York." β
College life in the U.S. is always indispensable. For many college students who lack self-control, dormitory life is often the first step in their contact with addictive substances, and every year such weak-willed students fall because they leave the familiar living environment. Jon's parents were also worried about Jon's self-control, so they preferred the local universities in New York when it came to college applications.
ββ¦β¦ No, not once. Jenny also happened to talk to Oprah about the 'temptations' she faced growing up. Of course we all know what bad school districts look like, but I haven't tried those things, and of course, part of the reason is that I'm poor and no one wants to sell me these things. β
In the midst of a chuckle, she continued, "but part of the reason was that I was determined not to deal with addictions - not that I was a saint, of course I wasn't, I spent most of my time reading magazines, spending my pleasures* on it, and I kept thinking, when I graduated, when I made money, I would live the life of these beautiful girls in magazines, and I would have the same graceful manners and temperament as them, and I would practice yoga and ballet in my room...... I have always believed that although the environment is very bad, as long as you work hard enough, as long as you don't give up hope, then hope won't give up on you. β
"Then you left Alabama and never went back." Oprah wiped the tears from her eyes with emotion, and after receiving a nod of confirmation from Jenny, she asked, "Have you ever thought of going back to visit your father, or looking for your mother, and what do you want to say to them, do you blame them?" Hate them? β
This sharp question was asked by her with empathy, and the audience did not blame Oprah, because they all knew that Oprah herself was a child that neither parents wanted.
"I ......," Jenny showed a rare hesitation.
#
"I don't accept it." Jenny cocked her hands, "Very good opinion, but I don't accept it." β
Judy and Julian both looked frustrated, and Cesare folded his hands together.
"Which part of my analysis do you have an opinion on?" He asked.
"Your analysis makes a lot of sense." Jenny's tone was stubborn, "But there's one factor I don't think you took into account. β
Cesare raised an eyebrow, and Judy leaned back, rolling her eyes unobtrusively.
"I don't like it." Jenny said, tossing the pen on the table. "I can't accept it, I've been telling you I can't accept them hyping this with this. A show, for the sake of ratings, uses my life experience to hype, what am I? How did they do this to me? β
"Oprah even betrayed his life experience for the sake of ratings, what are you? Why can't they sell your ratings? Cesare sat up straight, "You're an adult, Jefferson, and if you disagree with me, speak your mind instead of making such useless vents." β
"Do you think it's useless?" Jenny retorted, "Do you think it's useless for a man to rebel against his own *basic dignity that has been hyped up by the public?" - You're forcing me to forgive those who have abandoned me! Don't make a promise between me and you, it's a hundred times more than the so-called skin and flesh deal. I don't know why you think I'd gladly accept if I were going to go to the TV station to sell your nude. Photo, will you be the first to make it public? β
"I will appeal and demand that all of your profits be taken." Cesare calmly replied, "What do you want, Jeanne?" Turning down "The Oprah Show", losing all the lead, and then watching others consume your life in a worse way? β
"What if I say that's what I want?" Jenny also said very calmly, "What if I just want to reject 'Oprah Show', I just don't want to forgive that person, I want to lose all opportunities? What will you do to me? What if I'm that headstrong? - Will you follow me? Cesare? β
There was an awkward silence in the room, and Julian puffed out his lips, rolled his eyes, and exchanged glances with Judy.
Cesare took a deep breath.
"Then we'd better start thinking about alternatives now." He said dryly, looking down at the folder, "Here are some of my considerations for Planb - by the way, in that case, Julian, you can go back first." β
Julian quickly stood up, visibly relieved.
And Jenny said again in a tone that wanted to confront Cesare, "Sit down, Julian." β
With a 'snap', Cesare slammed the folder shut.
#
"I ...... There is nothing to say about them. "I'm not going to see my blood father, I won't see my blood mother, I don't feel like there's anything to say between us, I don't hold grudges against them, but there's nothing else to emotion, it's like -- it's like we're very strangers, I've never had emotional parents." β
"Because they've never been held accountable for a single day." "And it's their own choice." β
"Yes, it's not that they can't, but they don't want to, and I didn't have much to do with them from birth to adulthood, so I don't think I have anything to do with them." "It's not a question of forgiveness or non-forgiveness, in a way, I'm thankful for their absence, and I think if they were willing to live with me, it would have done more damage to my personality." Anyway, it's such a simple stranger relationship between us, I don't have anything to say to them. β
"Yes, I understand." Oprah nodded sincerely, "But I'm - to make a presumptuous, you know, Jennifer, you're pretty famous right now. β
"I wouldn't say I'm very famous nowβ" Jennifer nodded.
"But you're very famous now, listen to me, Jenny, there's a lot of people in this world -- believe me, you know, I'm just like you, I come from a low-income family, I have some complicated relatives, and some people have been trying to profit from them when I was first famous." β
"Really?" Jenny covered her heart, revealing a frightened expression, "Can anyone be so cruel?" β
"Believe me, some people are absolutely that cruel." Oprah nodded cautiously, this old man's demeanor made many viewers in front of the TV sigh, once again impressed by her generosity, wisdom and love for the younger generations, "Maybe soon, your father, or your surviving mother will speak out to you through the public media, trying to communicate with you, if so, what do you want to say to them?" You know, you're probably going to have to say something, and if you don't, the public might get some wrong information. β
Jenny thought about it for a moment, then turned to face the camera.
"I want to say......" she smiled helplessly and shook her head, "thank you for giving me life, even though I know you may have just done it unintentionally." Hope you're doing well......"
She took a deep breath, "I don't understand you, I don't have much affection for you, I think you are the same, but I hope you are all right." If you can, if you have other children, I hope that you can take on the responsibilities of parenting to them. May the Lord bless you. β
Her calm and calm look, as well as her tolerant and pious blessings, as well as the appropriate and elegant makeup, made the audience nod secretly, and the inadvertent vulnerability made many housewives snort in devotion.
"If anyone wants to interview themβ" Oprah prompted.
"Please don't accept it." Jenny said, smiling helplessly, "If you've noticed my report...... You will know how much attention I am receiving now, and it is an honor and a burden for me, please don't put more pressure on me and let me keep a little *. β
"Yes." Oprah nodded and said, "I noticed that now you and your friends are under the spotlight of the paparazzi......"
Instead, they began to discuss the impact of fame on Jenny's life and her plans for the future.
ββ¦β¦ Yes, this may affect my plans to apply to universities. Jenny looked a little embarrassed, "Actually, I participated in the movie because I have always heard that this industry pays well, I was very poor in high school, and I have been working part-time, so I have a bad SAT score, I can't apply for scholarships, and I don't have student loans, and I need money so that I can go to college." β
"So you want to take a college course after you're famous." Oprah confirmed, "Is this your plan?" Instead of buying a luxury house, buying a famous car? β
"I have far more material than I could have imagined as a child," Jenny said with a smile, "and now it's time to make another imagination come true, isn't it?" I've always wanted to have a normal college life, yes, I would have liked to go to college if I could, but obviously the situation has made it difficult to apply, and besides, my SAT score is not good......"
"You know what?" Oprah asked, "Before we confirm that you're going to be on the show, I asked your agent what kind of girl you are and what kind of troubles you have in your life. He told me stories about you and your college applications, your dream school, and your worries about your SAT. β
Jenny nodded puzzled, looking confused. But the audience in front of the TV was already familiar with the style of "Oprah Show", and their breathing tensed.
#
"Julian, don't go." Jenny stared at Cesare and said, "Sit down." β
"Yes...... I-" Julian turned his head back and forth between Cesare and Jeanne, and Judy pulled him, and he quickly sat down.
"May I ask what you mean?" Cesare's tone was unusually soft, and instead he threw the folder away and leaned back, his expression relaxedβit was clear that he was fighting against Jeanne's attempt to provoke him.
"We need Julian." Jenny said, her lips slowly raised, and she burst out laughing, "If we're going to be on 'Oprah Show,' how can we miss his image design?" β
There was an uproar in the room, Julian stood up and let out a broken sigh, and Judy exclaimed, "Jenny! β
"Nope." Jenny smiled as she raised a finger at Cesare, grinning and triumphantly, "I'm not saying I'm going to compromise on my birth mother's case. But that doesn't mean we can't give them something else to do. β
#
"You know, in Hollywood, there are a lot fewer girls who want to go to college than there are girls who want to make movies -- I say to myself, this is a rare girl, she deserves a chance -- " Oprah stood up and announced in a proud, booming voice, "In our audience, there is a very special person sitting today, and he is the dean of the School of Media and Performance at California State University, Los Angeles. Mr. Faye! He was part of the show, Mr. Fayeβ"
In the deafening cheers and applause of the audience, a capable middle-aged man in a plaid shirt walked quickly onto the stage, and Jenny, who had been very indifferent all night, finally lost her composure, covered her mouth, turned her body away, and desperately looked up and blinked her eyes, all signs showed that she had been so excited that she shed tears.
"Oh-oh-" Even though it was the second time she watched it, Mother Jon couldn't help but wet her eyes with Jenny, who was already completely immersed in the feeling of 'a girl who worked very hard to get out of the slum and achieve a dream of purity'. "Jenniferβ"
"Dean, please be seated." Amid loud applause, Oprah lowered the dean to the far end of the couch and sat down, "You've already read some of Jennifer's materials, right?" β
"Yes." Dean Faye nodded.
"You're accepting fall admissions, aren't you?"
"Yes."
"Are you happy with her SAT score?"
"Frankly, if it's just the score, it's a little bit worse."
"So do you think Jennifer's performance tonight will be enough to earn her an offer? I mean, tonight's show is good enough for a college application essay, isn't it? Friends? β
Jennifer sniffed and stared at Dean Faye closely, Oprah also showed a nervous expression, not just the audience, in front of the TV, many housewives were holding their breath between wiping their tears. At this time, even if Jennifer's dream school was Harvard, they all thought she was absolutely qualified to go to it, let alone just a school that wasn't too good.
Dean Faye nodded without hesitation, "Miss Jefferson, Csula is honored to have a talented and resilient student like you, and I am very much looking forward to seeing your application." β
In the midst of the loud decibel cheers from the audience, Oprah stood up happily and stepped forward to hug Dean Faye, "Thank you, Dean!" β
And Jenny, who covered her mouth and cried, also hugged Oprah tightly after shaking hands with Dean Faye, buried her head in her shoulder, and her shoulder twitched, obviously crying. In the process of soothing her, Oprah made a gesture to cut to the music performance, and in the camera switch, the interview part of this issue of "Oprah Show" ended.
"Jennifer is amazing, so cute." Jon said in a deep nasal voice, and even though it was the second time she saw it, she was so moved that she couldn't stop crying for a while. "Oh, I don't know what to say."
This time, Father Jon also nodded softly, "Yes, this is a very hard working girl. β
He glanced at his daughter with reliefβhe felt very relieved that his daughter could like such a high-quality, motivated movie star, rather than those celebrities who behaved grotesquely and were disgusting.
"Joe."
"Hayley."
In countless families, the hostess who watched the replay also talked about her feelings to her children, "If you must chase stars, you should also like such stars, isn't Jennifer wild in the movie?" But she divides all this very clearly, in real life, how serious she is! β
and when I watched "Pirates" before, I paid more attention to Johnny. Depp and Josh. Blanche is different, this time, the housewives are already full of praise for Jennifer's performance in the movie, and even have a little more recognition of her fashion taste. "She's such a smart and elegant girl, so likable."

"Very good."
After finishing the recording, Cesare caught up with Jeanne and walked with her to the guest lounge. "The idea for this school is pretty good."
"Thank you." Jenny unwitted the microphone as she said, "I'm going to go to college sooner or later anyway, aren't I?" β
Although the profession of an actor does not require too high a degree of education, Cesare has also mentioned to Jenny about continuing his education before, and he believes that a moderate amount of charging and learning can make Jenny go further. But at the time, they were talking about short-term courses, but now they have been revised to apply for university admission. ββOf course, the application has not yet been handed in, and the final form of study is also negotiable.
"Yes. You're a smart girl. Cesare did not hesitate to praise himself, he glanced at Jeanne, and a smile appeared in his eyes, "Of course, he is also very ambitious, it seems that I will have to pay attention in the future to control you." β
Jenny's previous opposition and struggle for him was not only a catharsis, but also a struggle for the right to speak, after she got the excellent feedback from "Pirates of the Caribbean", it was a matter of course to launch a certain impact on Cesare's right to speak before, so now she only smiled at him with such a stab, "Chesa, is always so calculating?" β
Cesare gave her a business smile and turned around to close the door to the lounge, "Speaking of the source of the news, I talked to the program director. This news was not something they had taken the initiative to investigate. β
"Well, it makes sense." Jenny commented, pouring herself a glass of water, "It's unlikely they're going to do this kind of research for the show's effect, and more importantly, they don't have the time to do it - so, who told them that?" β
"I don't know." Cesare said dryly, "After you were about to appear on The Oprah Show, they received an anonymous letter stating your birth mother's address and situation. After verification and inquiry, it was confirmed that the facts were correct. However, your biological mother also doesn't know anything about this, and this matter should have nothing to do with her. β
Jenny paused in mid-air as she drank water, "You meanβ"
Cesare nodded, "This should have been done by your enemy." β
He leaned over to the door and said lightly, "Whoever it is, they're ready to deal with you, it's their first move, but I don't think it's the last move." β
