Chapter 243: The Power Begins to Appear

If Andy is the germ of method school for Jenny, then Karen is her first small attempt at method school, maybe because Jenny and Karen are more similar than she thought, she is very relaxed when she enters the play Karen, come and go, there is no difficulty at all, no need for a little external stimulation, no matter whether it is George on the other side. Clooney or Daniel. Day-Lewis didn't have much impact on her, and even when playing Andy, Jenny often needed to get rid of the sense of depression and frustration, and she didn't come out to stir up the situation the whole time, this dreamy beginning also made Jenny relax her vigilance about the whole 'Method and I', mistakenly thinking that Monroe would also be such a relaxed meal - but it turned out that she was really wrong, maybe the film and television industry can be as streamlined as the car production line, but the movie itself still has a strong artistic color after all, Every character has its own special features, and being able to get Karen doesn't mean that she can just eat Marilyn's cake casually.

If you compare Karen and Monroe and explain it in a comic way, the synchronization rate of Karen and Jenny is very stable at 100%, and the synchronization rate between her and Marilyn is not easy to say, sometimes it is as low as 50, sometimes it will soar to 150 in an instant, and when their synchronization rate reaches 150%, Jenny will enter a temporary state of loss of control, she calls this state 'deep into the play', and' Compared with the shallow entry into the play, Marilyn in the deep state of the play is obviously charming and has better shooting results, but it also makes her worry about her psychological state, and she is not controlled by her, Jenny herself can't decide when it will appear, and she can't make up her mind, whether she wants it to appear or not.

Although she and Salvi didn't talk about matters other than the movie, this was just a task to exempt Jenny from apologizing to Salvi, and she still couldn't help but think about all kinds of troubles in real life, which actually made her feel very grounded, after all, these things were regarded as her anchor, and when most of her mind relied on the anchor to find a sense of security, of course she didn't 'go deep into the play' again, even' Simon asked her to rehearse a few times, and Simon lacked confidence in her performance in the key scenes between the two, while Jenny knew her own family affairs, so she didn't have to be much better than Simon. She was like a child who had just learned to swim, and after choking on the water once, although she picked up a lifebuoy (or at least she thought it was), she was too timid to plunge her head into the water again.

However, maybe it's because her willpower is really strong, maybe it's because the resonance between her and Monroe is not easy to forget once it happens, when she sees Salvi and sees the best man in the audience showing his admiration for her, through this woman's unique vanity, Jenny suddenly completely entered Monroe's state: she usually enjoys this feeling, after all, she is also a normal person, of course, she is eager to conquer the attention of others, but she is not like Monroe, openly enjoying and indulging in this feeling, so, Naturally, Monroe's feelings all came back.

At first, her ego was still a little resistant, as if her limbs were not so coordinated, and when the rest of her limbs were ready to swim, one of her hands still clutched the pool wall and refused to let go. However, the appreciation in Salvi's eyes was a powerful nudge for her, and her own reason reminded her: this is on the set, you should indulge in the role, this is what you should do-

Although she was still a little uncertain, Jenny still let go of her hand, as if she had given up on fighting against the wine, and she fell into a slight drunkenness, happily enjoying the eyes from Salvi, but she did not come forward to talk to him, but patiently walked to the corner and waited in the lounge area for the opening: she also knew that it was a performance, and the lines and positions were in her mind, and they were clear, but that did not stop Jenny from enjoying everything from Marilyn's point of view. This is her most happy time, she is newly married Yan'er, she has a husband who is fascinated by her, she is about to cooperate with the director she admires the most, and even has a little admiration, the British seem to like her very much, everything is so good, she is like a gymnast who has been exercising for many years, there are several perfect routines, just waiting to be shown in a performance for a while, teaching everyone to love her more.

Kenneth. Branagh, Julia. Ormond, Simon. Roemer, Dogray. Scott, Toby. Jones...... One by one, the main actors came to Jenny and sat down, but she was not interested in talking and laughing with them, only Kenneth and Julia whispered something, even the expressionist actors, often a little nervous before the play, Simon read the script repeatedly, while Toby silently stared at the busy studio, as for Jenny, her time seemed to pass quickly, and the world around her was like a landscape outside a high-speed train, blurry and fast, until after a "sound", the noisy world suddenly quieted down, And her world, the sleeping world, is like hearing the flowers and trees of the spring thunder, stretching out happily and wantonly -

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to introduce you to a lady who does not really need to be introduced—" Lawrence's slightly weary, yet gentlemanly voice came alive as her world came to life. Jenny ignored the empty 'fourth wall' and the blackened crowd, she ignored the world, she was faced with the crowd in front of her who still maintained a certain demeanor, still a little childlike in front of modern civilization, they were fascinated and excited by her, the kindness, adoration and faint freshness made her excited and a little vigilant, yes, she was in a state of battle at the moment, her mind was ethereal: she knew exactly what the crowd needed, and how much training and advice she had received, Just to elegantly calmly satisfy their needs a little, but never give too much. She would give them effortlessly, without any artificiality - even if they didn't say a word, she knew what they wanted right now.

"Marilyn, how does it feel to be newly married?" There were shouts from the crowd.

- This is a question that Marilyn likes to answer, because she does have a real feeling for it, and Miller's talent fascinates her, and her marriage to him makes her feel as if she too can be immortalized with his talent, remembered by time. She leaned over to her husband and smiled affectionately at him, while he shook her hand a little awkwardly, and returned an unnatural smile, a shadow crossed Marilyn's heart, but she quickly covered the concern: Arthur had never been very fond of public, she didn't know how long he could endure England, but she didn't want to be separated from him either.

"I like it," she said, smiling brightly at the crowd with a somewhat childish smile, as if to make up for her worries. "I'm enjoying it."

It was a killer smile, and the reporters stirred and chuckled in amazement, and one shouted, "Will the third time be the lucky one?" ”

Marilyn's hand was still on her husband's hand, "I'm sure it is." ”

“cut!” A scream suddenly came from behind the fourth wall, and Jenny's state was immediately interrupted, and she blinked her eyes in surprise as she listened to Salvi's sentence, "D! ”

The people didn't disperse, and Salvi went around from behind the monitor to the center of the scene, and was interested in playing Arthur. Miller's Dogre instructed, "Your expression is a little stiff, Dogray—I know, her hands weren't on during rehearsal, but it's good—"

"I'm not scared and don't know how to react." Dogray also began to defend himself, "It's just that with Miller's personality, I think his stiffness is justified in his wife's closeness......"

Jenny suppressed her unprovoked unhappiness and patiently waited for Dogre and Salvi to end their communication, and they soon returned to filming: "I heard that you are about to star in 'The Brothers Karamazov' on Broadway. ”

"Hmm-" She was amused by the question: the journalists did their job well, and unlike the Americans, in the United States, people only cared about her lace news, her next meat. But in Britain, acting is a more serious matter, and Marilyn would agree to come to London to shoot "The Dragon" because she liked the atmosphere, which she longed for - in a country where outstanding acting skills could even lead to knighthood.

Rewarding the young man with a series of pleasant smiles, she skillfully used those studio-trained expressions and squinted thoughtfully at the camera, "I...... Still thinking about it. ”

"Who will you perform?"

"I'll play Grushenka."

"Can you spell the name?"

The snarky meanness of the English did not bother her, but made her more excited, and she said quickly, "Of course I can—can you?" ”

Her playfulness made the atmosphere even more cheerful, and the people laughed heartily, and she giggled like the little girl, but soon her eyes fell on the agent—Marilyn was at once back to reality, and her indulgent smile quickly converged into a decent smile.

“cut!” Salvi shouted 'ng' again, and he picked up the megaphone and shouted, "The one on the far left in the third row, you're completely blocking camera three." ”

Jenny's smile collapsed irrepressibly from her face, and she glared angrily in the direction to the left, but before the scolding was about to exit, she pulled herself, and was even a little frightened by herself: the more crowded and complex the big scene, the higher the possibility of ng, in the previous shooting, she has long been accustomed to frequent ng, of course, it does not mean that Jenny has no temper, if she repeatedly NG because of low-level mistakes, she will also be in a bad mood, and sometimes even complain a few words and ask for rest. But that was at least after the tenth ng of a shot, and a situation like this when she started to be unhappy for the second time was almost unique to her.

――It seems that this new method of acting has changed not only the effect of her performance, but also her temper.

#

Salvi is not a director who talks a lot, except for shouting ng and explaining the reason, he rarely speaks during filming, however, judging from the filming progress, Jenny's performance still satisfies him, and he has made some suggestions on the emotions of several other leading actors, but he has not commented too much on Jenny. This scene, with a large number of participants, complex camera positions, and many shots, was repeatedly reshot for more than half a day before it was completed, and after the performance, Jenny's mood was also abnormally poor. Her exhaustion was not only due to the fact that she had been sitting in front of the camera all day, but also because she had been repeating a short dialogue almost the whole day - although this had happened many times before, but after entering the deep stage, this feeling of emptiness and irritability was much stronger than before, and she even had a feeling of lightheadedness, as if she had just woken up from a hangover, or stepped on the ground from a rocking boat, and after a whole day of playing, the 'reality' made her a little difficult to adapt, and she had a feeling of reality and illusion.

Although she had the heart to encourage Simon, who was also tired and pale-faced, he stood in this shot and played soy sauce for a day, but Jenny was really not in the mood now, and when she returned to her trailer, she collapsed on the couch, just staring at the roof for a long time, thinking nothing, and when she finally gathered enough strength, she took out her phone and listened to Cesare's phone message.

"The final budget for 'The Twilight Zone' is out," Cesare's familiar voice rang out, of course, with tons of trivia as always, "I sent you an email, remember to see it tonight, and this form can't be passed without your approval." By the way, "Michael. The box office changes for Clayton came out, and there was an interesting statistic that I added black to the report, and this email should also be prioritized"

His cold and capable voice gave her a little recapture of the familiar and reassuring sense of despair: there were too many official matters to deal with. Especially when she's still filming, the pressure can drive people crazy - the negative feeling overshadows her fear of her personality change and brings her back to reality, Jenny laughs a little self-deprecatingly, but she does regain some energy, she half-sits up, reaches for her laptop.

"Also, Chris gave an interview to TMZ without permission, or rather an interview from the paparazzi, you need to watch the video, we were still talking about the Oscars, and now I think that if the Oscars go ahead as scheduled, it's not impossible for you to be there with him at the same time, but until then, it's better to let you meet ......"

If Cesare's voice brought her back to reality, then the news related to Cwas undoubtedly dispelled the last shadow of Marilyn on her, the world she was in now, the trailer, and her connection was suddenly closer than ever, Jenny sat up straight, almost too hard to pull the computer - judging by Cesare's tone, Chris didn't make things worse, just ......

Biting her thumb and watching the entire interview video, Jenny logged on to the gossip website and verified her conjecture: the video was of course explosive news, and it changed everything.

Judging by Jenny's experience, this will make the crazy situation she is in a lot better, at least about their breakup, Chris has made a public statement, and has also endorsed her and Salvi's 'innocence', people's curiosity has finally been satisfied, then the paparazzi seem to have lost the motivation to continue to chase her wildly, at least now she doesn't have to worry too much about the paparazzi continuing to take risks and do some crazy things. And the other good news is that, judging from Chris's performance, he should have come out of lovelorn, at least returned to his normal state of mind, no longer tossing and turning in the horns, and just refusing to get out.

This should be good news for her, and Jenny seems to be rejoicing about it, she thinks she is not the kind of vanity that she does not know, it is impossible to say that she was not uncommon when Chris wanted to have a future with her, and now that she has come out she is lost and wants to make it back - in fact, she really doesn't want to make it back now, but ......

Jenny couldn't figure out what she was thinking, but she was quite distraught when she walked out of the trailer - although it was a different type of distraught than when she walked into the trailer, but the concentration was almost as high.

"You can meet," she said to Marie, who was probably new to the company and was having a morning meeting, so the two could not speak directly, "you can arrange your itinerary - don't look at me like that, don't say your ridiculous ideas, Cesare is not trying to get us back together, use his brains, Marie, he just wants to make sure that things don't get out of hand when we meet." ”

Mary shrunk her neck and nodded silently, and Jenny felt a pang of regret: her tone was too mean and irritable, and Mary was probably just concerned about her.

"Do we have anything else going on in a moment?" She patted Mary apologetically on the shoulder, slowing her tone.

"There's nothing, there's no scene for you today, we'll take you to see a few new places to live in a while, they've all been found by Woody, you pick one, and we'll all move there tomorrow." Mary flipped through her notepad, "Of course, don't try to hide it from the reporters...... But optimistically, it is impossible to hide it anyway, and it is nothing to know about it a day earlier. Oh, and the police have targeted several paparazzi from the Daily Mirror, but it doesn't seem to have credible evidence yet. But they have already warned the Mirror. ”

Jenny didn't think that the police could really bring the mastermind behind the scenes to justice in the end, and if it was her, she wouldn't be stupid enough to leave clues that could be incriminated, so she hummed, "Let's go, finish the matter early, and go back to rest early." Ah, Sal, you're done with your work? ”

"There's one last scene left," Salvi said, introducing her to a few raw-faced men around her, "this is Abdullah. Al Nahyan, my public school classmate, and his cousin Saeed. Al Nahyan, they were quite curious about the film and pestered me to come and visit the set. ”

Of course, the people who can be classmates with Salvi are either rich or expensive, and Jenny nods hello to two young Arab people in suits and leather shoes - she is not too unfamiliar with this situation after living in the United States for a long time, and in many celebrity banquets in Los Angeles and New York, Middle Eastern faces are common, and the reason is of course very simple, they are very rich after all. "Nice to meet you, I'm Jennifer. Jefferson, of course I guess you probably know me. ”

Both Abdullah and Saeed were quite excited, but still maintained good social etiquette, Saeed took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with Jenny, the cousins were both very handsome, but Saeed's silhouette was more delicate, his eyelashes were like camel's eyelashes, long and thick, with a high nose bridge, and a skin tone as even and thick as honey. The Slans are conservative in their teachings, and their male believers are very contradictory, on the one hand, they strictly abide by the doctrine and strictly regulate their wives. concubines, but on the other hand, they are also against women. Lust is extremely fascinated, amorous by nature, and has a calm attitude towards it. Said did not hide his affection for Jenny at all, he gently shook Jenny's hand as if her hand was a fragile treasure, and flattered Jenny with a polite smile, "I have always been a big fan of yours, Miss Jefferson, and I have not come to London in vain to see you today." ”

Jenny has been to so many PR banquets, and of course she has dealt with the rich Arabs - although Saeed is more handsome and younger than them, she is already very immune to this set, after all, Arabs will come to such a combination for any woman who looks good, how can she be an exception? However, Saeed was at least better than them, and refused to let go without holding her hand. She smiled and said, "Thank you for the kind compliment, and I hope you have a good time with Salvi - Sal, I'll go first, I'll have to find a house, you know, I really don't want to trouble your friend, and if this continues, I'm afraid his neighbors will kick him out of the community." ”

It was the first time she had mentioned to Salvi that she was going to move out, and Salvi's eyebrows moved, but Abdullah preemptively said, "Ah, are you talking about that little house in Chelsea?" ”

He smiled innocently and romantically, and puffed up his chest proudly, "I don't care, please stay there, it's usually just empty—it's almost impossible for me to go back to live, so don't care about the neighbors, Miss Jefferson, it's their pleasure to be disturbed by you." ”

Jenny didn't expect that she was talking to her landlord now, she glanced at Salvi in some surprise, Salvi nodded, she was sure that she had been living in Abdullah's house, and hurriedly sent a warm smile, "Ah, I'm so rude......"

"You really shouldn't be staying at Flhan Road." Said enthusiastically picked up the conversation, "I watched the news, those paparazzi are really very annoying, that little house on Furham Road may be difficult to provide you with adequate security, you should live on Bishop Road, our family also has a few empty houses there, you can live in it, Miss Jefferson, it's big enough, and it's also very closed, the paparazzi will definitely not be able to break through, and they will leave in despair in a few days." ”

He smiled warmly at her, "Of course, there is also a very reliable security system there, and I promise that eavesdropping will never happen again." ”

Bishop Road is the most expensive luxury housing area in all of London, Jenny was startled - she suddenly remembered Chris: she would know this, or because Chris had wanted to buy a property on Bishop Road, but finally gave up because it was too expensive, and the price of a house he had set in sight was $70 million with taxes, which was exactly the amount of money Jenny expected to take a stake in Disney.

Her mood suddenly fell sharply again, Jenny didn't mean to talk to Said-she could see that Said was the really rich and powerful of the two brothers, and Abdullah probably had no right to dispose of the big mansion on Bishop Road, and what he could lend was the small mansion written in his name.

The rich families in the Middle East are very large, and some house fights are not inferior to the internal struggles of ancient Chinese families, and she also knows that if she is too unkind to Said, it is likely to make him unhappy, and Abdullah may be angry, but Jenny suddenly lost interest in thinking about these things, and she became indifferent to these things.

"It's not good to always be troublesome." She shook her head and resolutely rejected Said, "It's not my habit either, thank you for your kindness, Said, I'll go first-Sal, goodbye." ”

Salvi smiled, and he said gently, "See you tomorrow." ”

Jenny twisted her finger at Abdullah, ignoring Said, and turned away from him.

This kind of interrupted local tyrant outfit. The pleasure lasted for about two hours, and after a while of exercising at the end of the viewing, Jenny was in a better mood, and she began to feel guilty again - she should have been more enthusiastic about Abdullah just now, and she should have thanked him for it seriously, her rudeness would make it more difficult for Salvi to do. Not to mention, morally speaking, Abdullah lent her the house and didn't say that she would collect rent, but because she was likely to be angered by Said, she was also a little reluctant to go.

This moody, rollercoaster-like state of mind was quite irritating indeed, and Jenny didn't sleep well that night, one nightmare followed by another, and when she woke up the next day, she was completely listless, and she didn't get up until the breakfast table.

"What is this?" She asked—Mary placed a small, long, box-shaped box in front of her.

"Yesterday's handsome guy from the Middle East sent it." Mary shrugged, "Woody checked, no security issues. ”

"Which one?" Jenny opened the box and sighed, "When I didn't ask." ”

She picked up the roses in the box and played with them, and then looked at the small card under the flowers, and the card simply wrote a sentence, and the tone was almost playful: I'm sure my appearance can also confuse some people, can't it?

Whether it is this narcissistic energy, or the traditional aesthetic (gold, gold, gold) represented by this 24k pure gold rose, it is enough to have the style of the Arab royal family, Jenny lowered her head and sighed, thinking about Salvi and Abdullah's classmates and friends, the months she had to spend in London, the rumbling eavesdropping storm outside the window, the unknown whether the Oscars would be held as scheduled, and the side of her and Chris, as well as her experimentation with new techniques, and the psychological ups and downs that came with it......

Of course, as if it wasn't lively enough, there was also a director who had an affair with her, an Arab prince who seemed to be interested in her - Saeed didn't say his background, but there are many royal families in the Arab world, and there are almost no self-made rich, so Jenny guesses he should be a prince -

She hugged the back of her head and moaned heavily. She groaned: she really needed a little courage to face the intricate, damn world outside her home.

#

As Jenny herself has come acutely aware, Jennifer. Jefferson and Jenny. Jefferson, in fact, lived two completely different lives. When everyone thought that she was struggling and losing her temper in the eavesdropping storm, Jenny herself was actually in a relatively good mood, at least much better than now, and just as she was fighting bravely in Marilyn and her own world, as if a light boat was desperately balancing in the stormy seas, to outsiders, the haze around her was about to dissipate, and she once again ushered in the peak after the trough.

Due to the impact of the Hollywood strike, this year's awards season can be described as a bleak star, and many outpost awards have almost canceled the award ceremony and announced the winners directly. Jenny won almost all the Outpost Awards for Best Actress with Karen, and at the Golden Globe Awards press conference held on January 13, 08, she won the Best Actress in a Drama category again. Clayton also won Best Picture in a Drama category, and if it weren't for Daniel's Golden Globe nomination for "Blood Is Coming" and winning the award, the crew of "Michael" would have almost won a triple kill. Even in the context of the Hollywood strike, such an achievement was enough to attract the attention of the media and the public. Jefferson finally repelled everyone's doubts about her acting skills with her performance, and defended her award as the queen with awards, although her award journey is destined to end here, unless a miracle happens, it is impossible to prove the Oscar again in such a short period of time, but just this achievement has made her waist board hard again.

The public is always susceptible to authority, even film critics, it is difficult not to be shaken by the award to shake their prejudices, when the news of Jennifer getting the Golden Globe came, even the most stubborn loath-wearing, had to turn to the attitude of anticipation to pay attention to the filming of "My Week with Monroe" filmed in London, the scandal disappeared, the focus returned to the career, many film critics began to look forward to the finished film, "Variety", "The Hollywood Reporter" wanted to do a studio visit and an in-depth interview with the director, ' Monroe and Jennifer's collision is no longer seen as a joke, a narcissistic ego. The consolation project, on the contrary, is seen as a promising and exciting idea, and suddenly, people are already thinking: Can she get Ottie for the third time with this film? Even, further, can she use this film to create a box office miracle for actress biopics and save this genre that is considered incorrigible?

And just when people are worried about Jennifer who is far away in a foreign land. When Jefferson was expecting a lot, in a high-end apartment by London's Hyde Park, Jenny . Jefferson was struggling out of the soft mattress in a cold sweat, grabbing a glass of water from the bedside table and drinking it hungrily, then looked at the alarm clock next to the bed and smiled bitterly.

4:30 a.m. - It was clear that she was having insomnia again.
