Chapter 74: You're Sick
"Come, chee-se. [This book consists of] "In Jerry. Under Bruckheimer's skilful command, Jenny and Josh posed for a photo with one of the guests who had come to the reception, and Jerry smiled and stepped forward to hand the digital camera back. "Check it, Aiden, and if it doesn't go well, get a few more."
In the film era, it took very little time to take a group photo at a drinking party, but now with the gradual popularization of digital cameras, taking a group photo has become the link that takes up the most time of celebrities in basically every event. Jenny didn't eat much at the party, and after doing some necessary socializing, she was pulled into the photo whirlpool. There is also Josh with the same treatment, both of them, including Johnny, are group photo mascots, and they spent more than half an hour on the group photo before Aiden, and because the two are a couple in the film, they are often separated and invited together to satisfy the vanity of important people.
After clicking a few more times with 'Aiden', and seeing that most of the people in the party had taken pictures together, Jenny asked Judy and Mary to go for a bite to eat, so they didn't have to be with them all the time, and she asked Josh, "Didn't Claudia come?" β
In the past few months, Josh and her have had quite a lot of opportunities to meet, outside of a few previous gatherings in New York, Jenny has basically overlapped with Josh in every job since she returned to LA, plus the two have a task ahead, it is impossible to act completely unfamiliar, under the deliberate cultivation of both parties, they are now very familiar friends.
"Anna." Josh pouted at him, "Also, I won't have a chance to see Claudia more often after the movie is over." β
It's rare for a kid like Josh to raise a styling team at any time, and he can only use his own time to get Claudia a position, even so, during the filming, as far as Jenny knows, Claudia rarely goes to his room, and the relationship between the two is very secret, and even now Anna doesn't know that Claudia is a makeup artist for "Pirates of the Caribbean". She snorted sympathetically, "I think there's a way around it." β
"Well, what Anna values very much now is the news of the cleaning period, and when our news breaks, her nerves will relax a lot, and then Claudia can often come out with my brothers, and she doesn't need to shy away from other people's eyes." Josh also smiled, "Actually, I think Anna is also a little nervous, and no one will believe that we are a couple even if she and I walk together when Claudia is not wearing makeup." β
"Should I punch you for Claudia, or praise you for not getting carried away by love?" Although a little unkind, Jenny was amused by his mocking spirit. "Very few people are willing to admit that their girlfriends are not pretty."
"Oh, it's okay, we don't care about that." "Actually, I think it's a very superficial thing to look at accidents, and my relationship with Claudia has already gone this point. β
Putting aside Josh's coldfeet, he is actually a very good chat partner, sincere, simple and self-deprecating, humorous, all of which are very good personalities, and Claudia, although she has not had much contact with her, and is not a much-talking character, but she also feels good about Jenny, Jenny smiled and said, "Well, I'm glad to know that my biggest chips are useless in front of my future boyfriend." β
Jenny is about five feet six inches, metric 167cm, and Josh is six feet one inch, more than ten centimeters taller than her, so although Jenny is wearing high heels, he can still look down on her very easily, at this time he lowered his head and smiled at Jenny, his eyes flashed with pleasure, "It's okay, your wise mind can make up for it." β
Jenny grinned at him as well, and she was about to speak, when suddenly there was a flash and the sound of a shutter press in front of herβJerry had a camera in his hand, and made a childish thumbs-up gesture to them, and went to snap a picture of someone else.
Josh's smile froze on his lips, and the otherwise friendly atmosphere was now a little awkward, and Jenny looked around and saw that no one was looking at them, and most of the people's attention was drawn to Johnny, who had started dancing. She simply pulled Josh into the corner, "Honey, I think we need to talk." β
Josh is not a very bold character, in stark contrast to the Mr. Mock just now, he seems a little weak under Jenny's initiative, blue eyes look at Jenny pleadingly, "What do you want to talk about?" β
If it were in normal times, Jenny would definitely be a little soft-hearted, but now it's nine o'clock in the evening, and today she got up at six o'clock in the morning in order to prepare for the premiere, in order to pursue the perfection of the photogenic body, but also afraid that the food would get stains on her body, so she has hardly eaten until now, and she has stood and socialized for more than an hour just now, even if it is an iron man, it should be the end of the strong crossbow at this time. She really used the last bit of self-control to not yell at Josh, or forced herself to cheer up, and communicated with Josh in a gentle and comforting tone, "I know you've been wavering and hesitating, and I'm not so sure about this contract, but I have to say, Josh, if you want to do it, do it, if you really can't do it, give up." If you push yourself with the guilt you have now, I don't think we can even fool the imbeciles in our photos, and this mutually reinforcing contract will turn into the biggest scandal and joke of the year. Do you see what I mean, Josh? β
Josh was like a child who was finally reprimanded by his mother after doing something wrong, and he collapsed his shoulders, "Ye, yes, Jane, I'm really sorry, I don't think this should be a problem for you to bear." β
"Nothing." Jenny said, "You saved my life, remember?" β
Josh smiled, "Let's forget about it, it makes me feel even more useless, I mean, I have to rely on my instinctive reaction to unexpected events to pay for my social behavior." β
He took a sip of the champagne he was holding in his hand, pursed his lips and fiddled with the cufflinks of his suit for a moment, Jenny waited patiently for a moment, but didn't say anything kind - Josh should be preparing to pour out her heart now, her silence to keep the pressure right, but not too unsympathetic.
"In fact, part of the reason why I haven't been able to adapt to this arrangement has to do with Claudia." Josh eventually confesses, "I know you feel that I ...... sometimes. It's not very good, believe me, I'm not afraid of Claudia's jealousy, nor are I afraid of cheesy reasons like you falling in love with me, Claudia took the initiative to agree to sign the contract, she has confidence in me, of course, after getting to know you, we are also very confident in you, I believe that there will not be too many drama accidents between us, this should be a very pleasant cooperation. β
He frowned, almost shy, "I'm just...... I was just scared. β
"Scared?" Jenny repeated, "OMG, please don't say you're afraid you're going to fake it, fall in love with me or something. β
"Of course not, of course not." Josh let out a few laughs, "Gosh, you're really humorous, Jenny. β
Waiters passed by, and they all fell silent, and Josh changed for a glass of champagne.
"I was scared because what we were doing was actually a deception." He said, looking at Jenny with wide blue eyes, "Jane, I'm not a saint, and the reason why I'm hesitant is not because we shouldn't, but because I don't dare. You're a nice, funny guy, but every time I look at you I think of our agreement, that it means we deceived the whole world, and what would happen if all this was exposed, and it made me feel ...... Frail. β
He smiled weakly, "I've been having nightmares lately, my career is booming, I'm clean, I'm not gambling, I'm not drinking too much - but I feel like my life is like a train accident, miserable. When Anna and I say that everything sounds simple, everyone is doing it, why wouldn't we? No one will find out anything, people don't care about the facts at all...... It sounds simple, maybe it's that simple, but I can't do it -- maybe he. What the hell is a mental illness, I don't know, but I really can't control this uncomfortable feeling. β
"Oh, Josh......" said Jenny, who really felt a little sympathy for him now, "maybe you should talk to Anna, not now, and when the movie comes out, if the box office exceeds expectations, maybe we won't need a contract like this......"
βnoγβ Josh shook his head, instead with a determined expression, "No, I have to overcome - I have to overcome, I'm an adult and I have to take responsibility for my choices." β
He took the initiative to hug Jenny, and he pressed very hard, "Thank you, Jane, I know you've been tolerating me for the past few months. Really, thank you very much. β
Jenny was overwhelmed by his hug, but instead of joking, she patted him on the shoulder, "I know you don't like to hear it." But, seriously, you saved my life, Josh, we're not strangers, we're like ...... It's like family. β
She said in a half-joking, half-serious tone, "Really? You and I, who have experienced life and death, care for each other, have common interests, and we are family. β
"Ye, family." This feeling of finding support should be good, and Josh's tone was uplifted, "So all of this really doesn't seem strange all of a sudden." β
"You're already joking - there's progress." Jenny said, "Now, if you will, may you please let me go?" I haven't eaten lunch, you're almost stunning. β
Josh let go of her with a smile, Jenny took a few steps back, and laughed too, seeing Anna leading two faces with a spring breeze on her face, she quickly glanced at Josh, pulled the hem, and turned around to make a gesture of welcome.
#
"Ah, so you're here." Jenny pushed open the door and walked out of the terrace, "We're still looking for you, thinking you'd go back first-"
She paused awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I-"
Cesare and a middle-aged woman turned around at the same time, and Cesare adjusted his stance, "Jenny, this is my mother Virginia, the manager of Disney's production department - Virginia, of course you know Jenny." β
Jenny and Virginia. Vijri said hello, "Hello, ma'am. Sorry to bother you. β
"Call me Virginia." Ms. Vijeri said that she was a middle-aged woman with a kind face, similar to Cesare in her eyebrows and eyes, but with a very different temperament, and although she wore a suit, she did not feel oppressive at all. "Don't be too sorry, I'm leaving, there's a three-year-old kid at home, you never want to have a nightlife, my husband has to stay at home tonight to take care of it, I have to go back before he commits a series of massacre."
Jeanne laughed merrily, glad she was standing in the shadows, and sometimes she forgot that Cesare was only twenty-six or seventeen years old, and that he was entirely young talent, and that it was not a miracle to have a brother or sister who was more than twenty years younger than him.
"Come to dinner at home this weekend, okay?" Virgilia kissed Cesare on the cheek, "Take Lilian." β
Cesare politely said, "If you have time, definitely." β
He used his own business tone.
Virgilia shook hands with Jeanne and pushed the door open, Cesare didn't give Jeanne time to comment, he turned to her, "It's still early in the night, are you leaving?" β
"That's the plan." "I want to go to bed before ten o'clock tonightβwill you come with us or stay?" If you're going to stay, I'll let the limousine come back and wait for you. Judy isn't busy walking either, maybe you can join her. β
Cesare, as her agent, of course, came in a car with her today, but different teams have different styles, after the first greetings and group photos, Anna has been dragging Josh away to really get to know some important bigwigs, Cesare's side of the person doing this job is Judy, Jenny has seen Cesare a few times throughout the night, and they haven't talked much.
"It's almost time for me to go." Cesare looked at his watch, "If you're not in a hurry, we'll leave after Michael leaves, I guess he'll leave after talking to Jerry, you won't have to wait long." β
"Oh, so Jerry is last on his conversation list." Jenny rested her elbow on the railing beside Cesare and adjusted her center of gravity with force, "mmmmrgh, these shoes are really going to kill me." β
Cesare glanced at her, "So you're in such a hurry to leave?" β
"If I take off my shoes now, you'll be scared of my feet." Jenny swore to him, "Damn Christian Louboutin, these shoes are definitely half a size smaller." β
βhmmγβ Cesare said. "You wait for me."
He walked out for two minutes, then returned with a stainless steel portable round stool and placed it on the railing, and Jenny quickly sat on it, and couldn't help but sigh of relief and gratitude.
Cesare leaned back on the railing, "No thanks, I'm here for you, ma'am." β
"Ha, ha." Jenny rolled her eyes at him, "Very big-hearted. β
The two fell into a pleasant silence as Jenny stared longingly at Michael through the glass door. Eisner, unfortunately, doesn't seem to be leaving, and is still chatting with Jerry in good spirits.
βsoγβ Eventually, it was Cesare who broke the silence, "I saw you had a great time chatting with Josh tonight." β
"Oh, it's hard for you to imagine." Jenny said dryly.
"How?" Cesare asked, "Anna and I thought everything was going well between you. β
"Josh is a good guy, but I'm a little skeptical about Anna's abilities." Jenny also decided that this matter was not suitable to hide from Cesare, of course, as soon as she said 'family', it seemed a bit bitch to turn around and complain, but she thought that Josh's problem was no longer with Claudia, and this psychological state might be drug addiction and drug addiction if it continued to develop. Addicted.
She probably recounted Josh's long-standing psychological disorder to Cesare, but skipped Claudia's failure to say that Cesare was obviously close to Anna, and they weren't the kind of little girl relationship that Cesare had with her and Anna had been in a 'I'll tell you a secret, you promised not to tell Anna', and if Cesare had brought Claudia out of the process of communicating with Anna and Anna had turned around to deal with it, Josh would have been really embarrassed with her. "He's obviously not the one who can handle that kind of pressure, and the whole thing has even begun, and he's already overwhelmed - of course it's not his problem, only that he's a good boy who follows the rules, but Anna should be able to see that, at least she should let Josh figure it out before joining, instead of getting him involved and putting him under the pressure himself."
"Everyone's brokerage style is different." "It's not Anna's job to care about the mental health of her clients, she just needs to make sure Josh doesn't make too much of a mess," Cesare said. β
It didn't sound like he cared much about Josh's state of mind either, Jenny exhaled, "yes, but that makes my work with him very tired, you know, I'm more of the guy in the relationship, and he's the nervous sanctuary. Woman. β
"Of course we can't always work with people we like," Cesare said, "and besides, Josh has a billion-dollar movie more than you - how do you deal with that tonight?" β
"Family bull* or something." Jenny shrugged.
"Does it work for him?"
"Looks like it's okay."
"Good." Cesare succinctly said, "Then keep it up." β
Jeanne was not surprised by Cesare's decision, and as Cesare had about Anna, it was clearly not Cesare's concern whether she was working happily, at least not at this level.
"Find a gay next time, can you?" "It's going to make everything a lot easier," she asked eagerly. β
Cesare smiled silentlyβwith his eyes, Jenny could feel it, "You say that because you think Josh is a bad colleague." β
"At least being a babysitter isn't a pleasant experience." Jenny said.
"Let me tell you," Cesare pulled out a double cigar case from the inner pocket of his suit, "do you mind?" β
He opened the leather cigarette sleeve and struck a match to slowly heat the cigarette butt, "Let me tell you, you think Josh is bad because he has a bad mental health and needs to go to the doctor, and you think a gay guy will work more closely with you - but the truth is, Josh is already a good kind of person in Hollywood, and if I find you gay, you need to deal with more risks, I don't have sexual discrimination, but gay men. Delivery, medicine. Addiction, alcohol. It's an indisputable fact that the risk of addiction and AIDS is higher than that of lesbians and heterosexuality, and considering we're in showbiz it's a higher risk - even if we don't think about it, why do you think Mr. Gay has better mental health than Josh? Josh is stressed about living in lies, which is normal human psychology, and you have to know that most gays live in lies before they come out. β
"Ugh." Jenny said, "Do you have to hit me with data at such lengths every time I complain?" Isn't it good to say a simple 'it's okay, it's all over'? β
"I'm just pointing you the obvious," Cesare said, lighting his cigar and taking a puff, "Most people in Hollywood have psychological problems of some degree or another, and Josh has, and so do you." β
βwaitοΌwhatοΌβ Jenny frowned and turned sideways to get a better view of Cesare.
"yes, I'm saying you too." Cesare slowly exhaled the smoke ring, his tone very calm, "You have a mental problem, Jefferson, I've been noticing this for a while. β
"Really?" Jenny said funny, "I don't know when you got your license, not to mention the number of phone calls we've had in the past few months β so your insight is impressive." β
"From the moment you really became famous and started to live as a star, I noticed that you weren't in the right shape," Cesare was unmoved, "and you always looked tired, depressed, and tired β I know your schedule is really tight, but that's not why." β
Blocking Jenny's arguments, he continued, "You worked longer hours and paid less when you were a waiter, but then you were laid-back and energetic, and now you are famous - you are the heroine of an A-grade production, today is your premiere, the quality of the film is very good, the critics praise you, but you can only smile at the party, all your body language is screaming that you don't enjoy this moment, you just want to go home quickly, why? tellmeοΌwhyοΌ β
"I ......," Jenny said.
She closed her mouth, opened it again, and said, "I...... I don't know, I'm just -- I just really feel tired, sometimes I feel stressed out -- I don't know, I just can't be happy all of a sudden, it's like there's something missing, I just don't know what to say. β
"Actually, you're pretty much the same problem as Josh," Cesare said, opening his cigarette jacket and bringing it to Jenny. "You're all scared."
Jenny pulled out her cigar, took the matchbox from his hand, straightened her legs in self-reproach, and laid her feet flat without manners, "Scared? Afraid of what? Don't tell me I'm afraid of being exposed to lies and losing everything. β
"Maybe it's because I'm afraid I won't be able to pay the loan." Cesare followed her words.
"Ah, Kim told you?" Jenny struck a match, took a rude bite of her cigar, and said as she hoisted her cigarette, "Do you think I'm going to be scared by this?" β
"Won't you?" Cesare asked rhetorically.
Jenny opened her pouch with her empty left hand, pulled out a black card and handed it to Cesare, "Just now a man named Benjamin. The people of Mogir gave it to me. β
"Ah, Ben." Cesare took the black card and looked at it for a moment, then gave it back to her. "His hobbies haven't changed."
"You know him?" Jenny shook the match out, took a shallow breath and exhaled the smoke. "He told me you knew him, let me ask you about him."
"He's from Wall Street," Cesare nodded, "a young talent, a junior partner at Goldman Sachs, a director of a number of small firms, at least that's what I've heard people say, and if you can't imagine how rich he is based on that information, I can quantify it for you." β
"A Goldman Sachs junior partner is available to come to the premiere of the film?" Jenny raised her voice, "Is he crazy?" β
"It's supposed to be his holiday," Cesare said with a shrug of his shoulders and in an unassuming tone. And that's his hobby. As far as I know, Ben is also very fond of art, and I wonder why he didn't make an offer to you in New York. β
"I don't know? Maybe it was because he didn't know I was poor then? Maybe it's because I barely party? Jenny said, looking at this all-black credit card, to be honest, she had never opened this foreign meat in her previous life, and her ex-husband's family was not interested in this. Doesn't that sound like he's been invited for the first time? β
"Of course not," said Cesare, "but Ben was a good companion, amiable, unassuming, never showing off, and not having any bad habits, with whom Bell had been with a while and was full of praise. If you need money, consider it. β
Jenny narrowed her eyes at him, "I thought you weren't pulling the skin. Strip. β
"Of course I don't." Cesare took a puff of his cigarette, "But I won't prevent my artists from making money, Ben's model is still very attractive, he will make an appointment in advance when he needs you, and the transaction is not so strong, sometimes he just stays with him for a day or two and doesn't have a relationship." He pays attention to*, has a private island, the actress is treated as a state guest on the island, and no one will put photos or rumors in the gossip magazine after leaving the island - and you can't deny it, he is also a very successful man, he will always be very attractive when a person is successful, and it is not a chore to accompany him. β
"So if I want to say yesβ" asked Jenny.
"Buy something you want, swipe his card, he has a spending notification, and you will get a call from him." Cesare said.
"Oh." Jenny said it was similar to some of the stories she knew, and it seemed that the pattern was the same all over the world, "but it was easy for him to ask for those things if he had a credit card as proof of contribution." β
"yes, so being too greedy at first might turn out to be off-putting." Cesare pulled the ashbox out of his holster, "FYI: Bell's first purchase with this card was only a dollar." β
"What did she buy?" Jenny was curious.
Cesare rested his cigar on top of the ashbox and waited for the ash to fall off. "Yilian Insurance. Cover. β
"Sounds like Bell is a smart girl." Jenny smiled too. "Those who know how to measure will get more."
"Well, she didn't tell me, but I guess her house in Beverly was Ben's separate gift to her, and the timing was perfect." Cesare followed her along, biting down on his cigar and giving a rude smile, "Bell is a little clever. β
Sending houses separately, and still during the relationship, the benefits of cash or non-cash are definitely indispensable, Jenny looked at the black card in her hand, "HMM, no wonder he is so confident." It sounds like a very easy and high-return investment, and I think Bell's house is enough for him to put a hundred high-end should. It's been a few years since I called a girl. β
"People on Wall Street are not like us, money is just a symbol to them." "For Benjamin, a million, a million is just a hobby, and that's their temper, there's nothing they don't want to spend money on if they want it, if they can buy itβand if he spends his time chasing you, it's much more expensive for him than if he spends his time." β
"You're right." Jenny couldn't help but nod and admit, "That's Wall Street, money never sleeps." β
She set the black card aside and looked up at Cesare. "You know what, you're really a very perceptive person, as if you can see the essence of everything."
"That's where despicable people succeed." Cesare smiled politely.
"Don't change the subject, then," Jenny said, taking the ashbox, "I'm still waiting for you to continueβwhat do you think I'm afraid of?" β
"Different." Cesare casually said, "The instinctive herd mentality is the main source of psychological disorders in Hollywood, and the process by which you become aware of the alienation of your lifestyle after you become famous, is also the process of increasing your psychological stress." β
Jenny thought for a few seconds, then another second. ββ¦β¦ Go on. β
"It's a very simple truth, homosapiens (Homo sapiens) - when they were first born they were extremely weak races, we are like the steppe bighorn antelope, the only coping strategy in case of danger is to run away in groups, almost all the unsocial people are eaten, so millions of years of instinct tells you that it is safe to be gregarious, and it is dangerous to be out of the group." Cesare's tone was very normal, "When you were a waiter, you were poor, tired, and you had no future, but you were gregarious, and you knew that there were thousands of people in the world who belonged to your group, and you were not insecure, and you thought, 'In any case, my problem is the problem of the masses, and the group will solve it for us'." β
He shrugged, "Now, you're famousβyou're out of the group, you can't blend in with the group anymore, the paparazzi photograph you everywhere you go, people will recognize you, talk to you, and in their eyes, you're no longer part of their group." Your lifestyle is different from most people in the world, and there are very few of your kind, although you have peers, most of them don't have the exposure to catch up with you, they don't need to be photographed all the time, and for most of their lives, they are gregarious, and you are always outlied. This instinctive restlessness is enough to destroy much of your sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, which is your joy and happiness. Your thoughts will become negative, you will have insomnia, depression, ...... It's your instinct to call you on the police and urge you to get back into the crowd. β
"Really?" Jenny asked, confused, "Do you think my need for gregariousness is so high?" β
Cesare patiently explained, "Try to imagine that now you don't have attention - you continue with the job, but you don't have attention anymore, you can go out on the street whenever you want, you can eat, hang out, take the subway, talk to strangers...... Like you did before you did in Chicago, would you be willing to continue this job? β
"Of course."
"Then the problem is not in your job," Cesare said, "in the fact that you are now denied the freedom to eat and wander in the streets, and considering that you are not keen on socializing with strangers, it is reasonable to conclude that you are afraid that you will no longer be able to blend in with the crowd, and in fact it is the DNA in your body that has survived since time immemorial that tells you that you are in danger now, that you cannot rush into the nearest crowd if you encounter an enemy, that you cannot be protected by the group." β
Jenny found herself really convinced, and when she examined her inner world, she was surprised to find that Cesare really dissected her mentality accurately, to be honest, she was not a very social person, in fact, she didn't really care about saying that she couldn't take the subway, eat street stalls and the like, what she really cared about was that no matter where she went, she was the center of attention, she had to keep a state of confrontation all the time, and this state was undoubtedly very draining, maybe because of this, she felt like she was being watched all the time, I couldn't find a sense of security, and I couldn't rest and relax, so the pressure just accumulated bit by bit, making her really tired and depressed. To be sure, she's exercising the same amount now as she did when she was a waitress, but she's really not as motivated as she was then.
"So how do I deal with this fear?" Jenny asked. "Like Josh, by complaining, getting a psychiatrist, passing it on?"
"I don't know." Cesare replied calmly, "As I said, this is a collective psychological problem. You and Josh are both victims, of course, Josh is weak, he may break down earlier than you, you perform better than him, but it's these, those mental issues that prevent you rookies from eventually becoming an A-List, a Super A-List, or even a higher level of goal -- your goal. β
"Is this what people say about being ruined by fame?" Jenny said, "Rivan. Phoenix, Amy......"
She suddenly remembered Amy. Winehouse was not well-known now, and hurriedly swallowed the conversation, but fortunately Cesare did not get to the bottom of it.
"Yes, at the end of the day, it's a war." He said, "You and your instincts, we know that there must be people in this world who can overcome the herd mentality, and every generation has outliers who maintain independent thinking, and I don't think they will be under much less pressure than you are when they insist on being maverick, but how do they overcome it?" No one knows, everyone has their own knack. β
"You can only cheer me on off the field." Jenny said.
"yes, I can only hope you're the one who wins." Cesare took a deep puff on his cigar, "You know what I'm going to say, Jefferson. β
"Don't let you down?" Jenny asked.
Cesare agreed. "Don't let me down."
"Huh." Jenny said, "You say it lightly. β
But there was no anger in her words, and Cesare did not answer, and they just relaxed and smoked half a cigar and watched the people in the room come and go.
"You know, Michael should have left early." Jenny, who was already a little drunk, put the cigar on the ashbox, let it go out naturally, blew out the last puff of smoke, and lit the venue. The venue has played more energetic music, and most of the people who stayed were young crew members.
"Are you leaving?" Cesare also put his cigar on the table.
"Wait until the smoke goes out." Jenny said.
She set the ashbox aside, sat up straight, stomped her loose heels, and let out a soft cry of pain, "fuck." βand then picked up the black card that Benjamin had given.
"What are you going to do with it?" Cesare asked.
"You want to know?" Jenny glanced at him.
Cesare stretched out his hands, "You don't have to answer. β
Jenny smiled, she flipped through the card and looked at it, took out the phone from her handbag, found the customer service number and dialed it.
"Yes, I picked up this card, it seems that someone accidentally dropped it, and the card number is ...... The customer's signature is Benjamin. Mogill. I'm going to cut it out, and I hope you'll get in touch with Mr. Mogill and get him a new card...... Thank you and have a great day. β
She hung up the phone and spread her hand at Cesare, "You know now. β
Cesare shook his head with a rare smile, "You should at least brush it up." β
"You mean?"
"My counseling fee."
Jenny also smiled, "yes, maybe I should brush out the 500,000 loan and paint another house, right?" β
"You do need money now, Jefferson, that's an indisputable fact."
"I'm in need of money right now," Jenny stood up, "oh, thesegoddamnedshoes!" - I need money right now, but did I get into showbiz for money, Chesa? β
For the second time tonight, Cesare smiled, "Of course not, Jenny. - Allow me. β
He reached out and took a few steps around Jenny, helping her adjust to the feeling of walking.
"Thank you, Lord Vijri." This time Jenny was polite, "But since we mentioned money - did Kim tell you that if I don't get paid three million for the next film, I won't be able to take it?" β
"Is that what Kim said?" Cesare asked. "Looks like he has a lot of faith in you."
"What do you mean?" Jenny asked, "Can we get three million?" β
"Three million is an unacceptable number." Cesare shook his head, and he paused. "You don't seem to be at all intimidated."
"Why am I scared?" Jenny asked, tapping on her purse, "Remember, I'm a woman who even cuts black cards." β
"The old Jenny came back so soon?" Cesare let go of his hand, "Will you be able to walk steadily?" Very good - well, but I didn't lie to you, three million is an unacceptable number. β
Jenny raised an eyebrow.
"At the moment, I haven't been in contact with the studios, everyone is waiting for "Pirates" to be released, and in my plan, our bottom line is five million." Cesare's tone was still flat, "Less than five million offers, we won't even read the script." β
He pushed the door open for Jenny and made a gesture of please.
