Chapter 239: Update

"Did you get the message?"

"Not yet, legend has it that she's already left London—"

"Where is she going back? Los Angeles? But she had no reason to go back now. I thought she was going back to Los Angeles too, but Hollywood is on strike, and the Golden Globe Awards has been canceled, isn't it? ”

"No, no, no, I heard that she went back for this, and I heard that this girl has a lot of prestige in Hollywood - I didn't guess it, she was going back to some meeting of the Screen Actors Guild."

"This ...... Impossible. ”

"Anyway, that's what the legend says, and the crew doesn't look like they're going to start filming in the short term. We haven't received a notice to start construction until now. ”

Yes, even London, England, across the ocean, has received the news - months ago, the contract signed by the Writers Guild and the Producers Guild had expired, and the two sides could not reach an agreement on a share of DVD sales, leaving crews across the United States in a strike crisis. In the past ten years, DVD sales have quickly become a blockbuster magic weapon for film companies to make profits, and screenwriters have long wanted to get involved in this piece of interest, in such a real money profit competition, no one will easily give in, in this contract negotiation, the minimum wage is just an inconsequential negotiation point, what everyone is really fighting for is the DVD This fragrant cake.

Since it is not possible to negotiate after the expiration of the contract, the screenwriters will not be polite, that is, in early November, when the news of Christopher and Jennifer's breakup was just broken, the screenwriters across the United States officially began to strike, countless serial crews fell into a state of suspension, and the film projects in preparation could only be suspended, and the Screen Actors Guild firmly stood on the side of the screenwriters on this point - they also hoped to break the monopoly of the studios represented by the producers on DVD interests, citing the example of successful negotiations in the Writers Guild, Let the filmmakers also open a hole in DVD sales to them, and have more blood, instead of stingily occupying this new and exciting profit growth point.

Since most of the TV stations have stock dramas, and the 1 or 2-month winter break is about to begin, the attitude of the producers association is also relatively tough, and they are not intimidated by the broken screenwriters' union, this time the strike lasted for two months, and the two sides have not yet reached an agreement, which also means that after the winter break, it will be difficult for American dramas to return, and TV stations can only fill their broadcast time with rerun episodes, but this is not the only aspect affected - the Oscar side has not yet made a statement, But the Golden Globes have reluctantly announced that they have canceled the awards ceremony, because the Screen Actors Guild supports the Writers Guild, and many big-name stars are quite supportive of the union's decision at this time, even if they are nominated, they will not attend the Golden Globes, without the stars, it is meaningless to spend a lot of money to hold the awards ceremony. This year's Golden Globes will only be a brief press conference, and the announcement of all the winners will be the end - which is unfair to this year's winners, but they will have to accept it silently.

Of course, such a chaotic strike has also greatly affected the public relations and publicity activities of many Olympic films, and most Hollywood stars are now reducing their participation in public events, so as not to lose points in their public image, and the public's attention is indeed not here. This is important for Michael. Clayton, on the other hand, has many of its competitors now back on the same level.

The paparazzi don't care about that, they care that because Jennifer doesn't have to go back to Hollywood for the awards ceremony, and she won't leave the country, it will be difficult for them to stop her at Heathrow Airport, which makes her still missing, and neither the News of the World nor the paparazzi who ambushed her outside Salvi's apartment are in a daze about her whereabouts. Even most people have shaken their confidence, speculating that she is indeed at the invitation of SAG to return to Hollywood to mediate the matter, after all, she is not only the highest-grossing star today, but also a successful producer, and has a very good relationship with Hollywood studios, she will be a very good mouthpiece in this kind of time when the major forces are competing for games, and Jennifer can also draw a lot of benefits from it, there is no reason for her not to enthusiastically participate in this matter.

“bloodyhell。” Sheff pressed the brim of his hat and angrily threw the cigarette butt to the ground and extinguished it with his foot, "She wasted us days of hard work!" Just running around like a headless rat - it's a humiliation to our faces. ”

After two days with his counterparts at the News of the World, he was sure they didn't know anything, and Schaeff angrily abandoned the clue and ran around London again, but found nothing. The paparazzi eat according to the workload, and only if they can take photos will they be rewarded, although he has never met Jennifer at all, but after bothering to run around for half a month and getting nothing, Shav's hatred for her has been increasing day by day, and now, he can't help but think about giving up this damn big star, no matter how newsworthy she is, it is in vain to find no one.

William carefully looked at the face of his senior, he was about to say a few witty words, but the phone suddenly rang, and he casually opened the screen and glanced at it-

"Oh!" He was still a little depressed just now, and he jumped up and stammered excitedly, "Oh! Oh my God, the studio they rented was open, Toozi's car was parked in the doorway, Toozi was in - and Simon, the lucky little boy, he was here too, God, Shef, they were probably going to shoot! ”

The half-smoked cigarette was quickly stuffed back into the cigarette case, and Sheff burst out a few meaningless words, his fingers trembling as he grabbed his car keys, "Go! gogogo! We've got to get our first picture of her! ”

#

- I'm afraid Sheff is destined to be disappointed, after half a month of calm and calm, most of the paparazzi have given up paying attention to the studio, and only bought the doorman to make him an eyeliner. And Jenny's team took into account her current high topicality, and had already rented a Rolls-Royce for her as a car, not only the rear seat window was pasted with black-out film, but even the front and rear seats were covered by a baffle, long before the doorman noticed the appearance of the target, Jenny drove into the studio smoothly, and carried out her and Simon's first makeup trial in the dressing room: during her filming of "Avatar", the rest of the main actors have completed the makeup trial work, and now they are all gathered together one by one, ready to shoot makeup photos, Make some preparations for the crew's promotional work.

"There's a big difference between your looks and Marilyn," Claudia explained Jenny's train of thought as she put on her makeup, knowing that Jenny liked it - usually Jenny pays a lot of attention to skin maintenance, and movie makeup sometimes puts a heavy burden on her skin, and it would be easier for her to accept it psychologically if she told her what her every layer of powder was for. "Although you are both blondes, Marilyn has a childish appearance and full cheeks, in fact, if she didn't live in an era where camera accuracy was low, hard photos could be retouched on a large scale, she might not be so popular...... If I were to make the same nasolabial folds for you as Marilyn, you would look very old under the current high-definition lens. There is no one in the world who has the same lovely, even chubby, cheekbones, but at the same time avoids the nasolabial folds caused by open plump cheeks. ”

"At the same time, sadly, I can't have Marilyn's body." Jenny grimaced as Claudia changed tools, "But I guess we can still be like her through that mole, right?" ”

"Yes, in fact, as long as you grasp Marilyn's eyebrow shape, hairstyle and that mole, anyone will think that you are somewhat similar." Claudia said absentmindedly, "But it's worth mentioning that your chin is naturally pointed, which is better than Marilyn's, you know, she has a padded chin and the tip of her nose, and as for whether the ribs are pulled out of the waist, I am skeptical, and in some of her pictures, the waist-to-hip ratio is not exaggerated...... By the way, speaking of which, Anna, get me two chest/part prostheses and two buttocks./part prostheses - otherwise it won't help if I pinch out a Marilyn face for you. ”

"Hey." Jenny defensively circled her chest, "It's too much, okay—"

She couldn't help but giggle too, "Well, I'll admit, they're not huge, but I don't think Marilyn became popular by her exaggerated body proportions." Her popularity ......"

She closed her eyes and silently recalled Monroe's emotions, "It should be more of a kind of marketing, a kind of atmosphere, I don't think it has so much to do with her own conditions." At least ......"

Jenny swallowed the words that didn't come out: at least Monroe had been trying to deny it, but deep down, she deeply believed that her popularity was entirely due to packaging and marketing. This is one of her knots: Monroe has a strong desire to succeed, but also a strong doubt that she is good enough to succeed, and the more she gets something, the more she feels that she is destined to lose it all one day, she has never felt safe enough, and fame has become the culprit that makes her insane.

"Uh-huh." Claudia replied absentmindedly, and she continued, "You're very white, but the makeup style of those days was so heavy, so I'm going to put on a few more layers of powder, and then we can accentuate your cheekbones with some highlighter and blush, thanks to technology, Jane, Hallelujah, you don't need to eat yourself fat to have a nice pair of cheekbones...... What about moles? ”

Someone brought a prop mole, and Jenny said, "You know, some people say she ordered it herself—"

"Shh Claudia scolded her, carefully comparing the photos on her computer and tapping a black mole on Jenny's cheek - she took a step back, critically examining her masterpiece, and then laughed with satisfaction, "Well, it's time to hand you over to the hairstylist - I hope she's careful, it's not that easy to repair when short hair is cut - it's a pity that Gina can't come, we'd better not fall to the point of hair extensions......"

Although she could also act with a head covering, Jenny was willing to cut off her hair, which was not long, and under the hands of a hairstylist who had practiced many times, she soon had Monroe's signature curls, and then changed into a white linen dress with a strong sixties character, and a somewhat wide shoulder pad jacket, block heels, and stockings as thin as cicada's wings.

"Come on." With Claudia's help, she fixed the implant to the corset and adjusted the right pleats to make the overall effect more realistic. Also receiving the same treatment is Jenny's little fart, and her thin arms are ignored: as long as the angle is found and combined with makeup, Jenny's arms will not be too thin in the camera, and now the post-workout tightness will also be covered, and the audience's eyes can't find too much wrong, in these details, they are quite easy to deceive, and will always be fooled by instinct.

When she looked at herself in the mirror, Jenny once again lamented the unreliability of human vision: she and Monroe did not look very similar, Monroe's appearance had a childish feeling, especially in short people, which made her look very childish, while Jenny was a very standard Germanic beauty, and her silhouette was tougher than Monroe. But with proper makeup, with shadows, highlights, and eyeliner, red lips, eyebrows, and moles...... She looks six or seven points similar to Monroe-

If she puts on Monroe's signature pose again, under the blurring of these symbolic features, for a moment, Jenny can't even tell what the difference between herself and Monroe on the computer screen is, they are all young and beautiful girls, they are all world-famous, they have been carefully retouched, and even with artificial help, this image concentrates the efforts of many people, and looks quite charming, but it is far from the real them, far enough to look at themselves in the mirror, In addition to the intense pride, there is also an indescribable strangeness, as if I have lost myself in the mirror.

"It's great." Claudia whistled softly and exchanged a satisfied look with the hairstylist: with full preparation and practice, the makeup try-on can be described as a success, which is a necessary quality for serving a big star. Although makeup and makeup try-on are very tedious, the patience of big-name actors is generally insufficient, and how to complete makeup as soon as possible without disturbing or hurting the actors is a compulsory course for most makeup artists and hairstylists - although Jennifer has a good temper, no one wants to challenge her limits, and being able to successfully complete the styling in an hour also indicates that in the subsequent shooting, each makeup will not take too long, which makes them very proud.

"I'm beautiful, am I?" Surprisingly, after looking at herself in the mirror for a while, Jenny asked this question - maybe it's not so strange for a hairstylist to work with for the first time, but Claudia has been following Jenny for five years, and she was almost scared off by this question: Jenny has always been a very low-key and polite character, and has nothing to do with narcissism, she will praise the makeup artist for his good work, but rarely will boast about her beauty directly.

"When...... Of course. But there could not have been a second answer to this question, and she answered it preemptively, relying on her many years of friendship with Jenny, and while touching Jenny's expression, she said with some jokingness, "You are beautiful, Miss Monroe, and I think even the president's brothers will fall for you—we'll get their call soon, won't we?" ”

In fact, during the time period of the filming, Kennedy was not yet the president of the United States, and the Kennedy family had not yet entered the spotlight, and Monroe certainly could not have been entangled with the two brothers, but Jenny did not correct Claudia's meaning, on the contrary, she naturally showed a slightly smug and smug smile, and looked in a circle in the mirror to look at her own appearance, "They will, yes, I think they will, who in this world would not be Marilyn. Monroe and poured? ”

This sentence is not a word that Marilyn will say, not only because it is very narcissistic, but also because its words are difficult and do not meet Monroe's cultural level, but this is indeed Monroe's mental activity when looking in the mirror, Jenny's current state is unusual, although she did not use her golden finger, but she seems to be in the afterglow of empathy, as if she has a spiritual connection with the real Monroe, everything about her is reflected in her heart, and she can plunge into this water called Monroe anytime and anywhere, But at the same time, she is also soberly aware of her own existence. If the previous golden finger was a short period of drinking, and after the emotional frenzy of drowning sex, there would be a feeling of suffocation and emptiness, then now she is in a comfortable slightly drunkenness, and she no longer bothered to maintain it. The image of the ego, not caring what the hairstylist and Claudia would think of her madness, but enjoying the feeling of being Marilyn, enjoying Marilyn's state of mind, how she was intoxicated by her beauty, how she admired herself, how she forgot the gloom of reality in this wonderful feeling, she even enjoyed the shadows of her heart, her ulterior inferiority complex and worries—her brilliance and darkness were so frank to her, which made Jenny feel a pure pleasure. sense, a feeling of being in power, this feeling is quite similar to the enjoyment of playing Karen, but to take it to the next level, if Karen is comfortable, then the role of Marilyn is undoubtedly more ethereal and difficult to self-control.

There was a few knocks on the door, and then it opened, and someone was saying that the director wanted to see her. Jenny turned around and walked lightly to the door: when she first started in the industry, she used to turn on the golden finger when walking the red carpet to empathize with Marilyn, because at that time she did not like to walk in the screams and blinding flashing lights, and even if the golden finger was no longer necessary as she became more sophisticated, Jenny had to admit to herself that she could never enjoy the red carpet, which had always been quite a tricky job for her. But now, everything is different, she no longer thinks that it is a burden to throw her charm to strangers, she is still immersed in her beauty, she likes to be beautiful, she likes to be famous, when she is in a good state of spirit, she likes it all, she likes to see people fascinated by her charm, their expressions of amazement make her feel her power, let her gain a temporary sense of security, her mannerisms, words and smiles seem to have become extraordinarily elegant because of this, she has not even finished middle school, But the way people looked at her made her feel like a princess, a queen......
