Chapter 137: DramaDrama
"How's this pair?" Claudia flipped through the album, "Houndstooth wool coil boots, although the shape is tough, but the effect is very good with skinny pants." ”
Jenny glanced at it, "Okay, let them send it, pick out more flat sandals, I want a more comfortable style, how about this pair?" ”
She showed Claudia the product page on her laptop, and Claudia looked at it and shook her head, "No, UGG is definitely out of consideration, and even if I can agree, I won't be able to pass Julian's level." ”
She couldn't help but close the page, "Who the hell wears UGG?" Only a woman who is completely desperate for fashion would put this kind of thing on her feet, right? And this, Crocs, are you serious? Jenny? ”
"Don't don't, don't close." Jenny hurriedly said, "This can be used as home slippers, and you can wear them to the beach." ”
Claudia still glared at Jenny, "Imagine you're wearing a bikini with these shoes and walking along the Malibu beach with Chris, are you serious?" Jenny? ”
Jenny thought about the picture and laughed, she didn't insist on her choice, but pushed the computer to Claudia, "You can choose some comfortable and tasteful flats for me, I need some to make home shoes - buy a full range of sizes, you and Josh will wear them in the future." ”
"It's really hard for people who know you for the first time to guess that you have a cleanliness fetish." Claudia commented while flipping through the page, Jenny smiled and did not refute: she really does not accept some living habits in the United States, such as putting her feet in shoes on the bed and sofa, pouring into bed in clothes that she came back from going out, taking a shower in the morning, going to bed with a body of wind and dust at night, not drying clothes after washing, but drying, etc. Of course, there are some small things in life that she does not deal with now, and she can't control other people's hygiene habits, but in her house, everyone has to abide by her rules, which is a habit that cannot be washed away in Western life.
Picking out some household items with Claudia, Jeanne asked Mary to settle the bill online with her company account, and told her about Mark by the way, "If Cesare doesn't agree with the charity that goes big dreams, use the little dreams to donate." ”
Since Big Dream is no longer her own company, but really started the production process, Jenny's personal income and living expenses are no longer suitable for taking accounts from Big Dream, a few months ago she set up a Little Dream Studio, and Mary handles the daily accounts, mainly to pay rent, gardeners, cleaners' salaries and personal living expenses, suitable for the company, suitable for personal expenses to do personal expenses, all the purpose is to pay as little tax as possible under the guidance of the accountant.
"If you're willing to show up in the mall, they're going to give it away for free." Mary said as she chose the delivery address, "But of course, you can't afford that money now*, can you?" ”
"I'm running out of sponsorship clothes to wear." Jenny said, "Are there any paparazzi at the door?" ”
"That's a lot." Mary said, "Josh didn't go to Cesare's birthday party last night, it was already in the tabloids, and the current trend of public opinion is that the two of you disagreed during filming and your relationship was on the verge of breaking down, so you went your separate ways when you returned to Hollywood, and you didn't even meet." ”
Last night's birthday party was of course a feast for the paparazzi, Jenny went early and left late, and the paparazzi couldn't enter the community gate, so she wasn't photographed. Other big-name celebrities were photographed in the car when they were in and out of the community - of course, this is not explosive news, just a very ordinary street photo, but Jenny didn't expect the paparazzi to find out about her and Josh's whereabouts, and there was such news.
"They can even inquire about this, why don't they know that Josh went to record the show yesterday?" She commented angrily and amusefully. "For the sake of the news, they all became crazy."
"After the release of "Unstoppable", the paparazzi were already hungry for Josh's news. Thirsty. Claudia laughed and said, "Being able to take your photos and make up stories now can bring clicks and sales, but after tonight, those stories should disappear." ”
Tonight is the celebration party of "Unstoppable" breaking 100 million at the North American box office, which was specially chosen to be held when Josh returned to Hollywood, and Jenny of course had to go to cheer. She stretched, "Let's go, go pick a dress, did Valentino send a new design?" ”
One of the great advantages of being a full-line spokesperson is that Jenny can only choose Valentino as her dress on some big occasions, of course, if she wants, she can also wear Valentino on small occasions, and every season Valentino will send a full range of dresses, casual clothes for her to match, and even some exclusive custom models, on the one hand, to add fashion style to Jenny, on the other hand, to create exposure and topicality for Valentino.
"I heard that after you came back, you sent a few new dresses, but tonight's occasion is not too cautious, just wear Red Valentino." Claudia said, "Red Valentino is a diffusion line of Valentino, with a more youthful and lively design, but it's more appropriate for Jenny to wear it every day.
Mary also said, "Let's go, if you want, we can still walk the streets before we go to the party, and I can call a couple of familiar reporters and ask them to give you some nice street shots." ”
"Sounds good." Jenny is also idle and bored, and she hasn't dressed up to go to the street to harvest street photography for a long time, "Then take action." ”
After a few years of training, Mary was quite competent, she flipped through the PDA, pressed the button of her phone with her head down, walked out of the study, and looked like an agent, Claudia also went to get her makeup case, Jenny was going to go to the cloakroom first, but her phone rang - it was Cesare's.
"How?" She picked it up very tightly, "Did Anna say anything?" Don't tell me Josh said yes. ”
"She hasn't said it to Josh yet." Cesare replied, and Jenny was relieved: judging by Claudia's performance just now, it was hard for her to believe that Josh already knew about it, or went further, and even agreed. "Anna would love to talk to you, I've got your opinion on that, but she's very keen on your wedding, and she's wondering if you want to continue the relationship if you don't have a wedding, or break up with Josh."
"What about your opinion?" Jenny was a little hesitant, "Of course, the wedding is not on the agenda, but breaking up within a few months of the engagement seems too childish - I don't think Disney will accept that." ”
"But if all this is to be delayed until the release of "Pirate 3", it will be 2 years away." Cesare said on the other end of the phone, "In order to temper the public backlash, I also don't recommend that you announce your breakup immediately after 'Pirates'......"
This is a natural choice, after all, the public still has an IQ, if they break up before the release of the last part of the trilogy, it will affect the movie-watching mood of some supporters, but if they break up immediately after the release, the remarks that suspect that they are fake engagements will definitely be noisy, compared to Jenny, I would rather bear the impact of the breakup before the release of the last part on the box office, after all, fooling fans and malicious hype is very damaging to the people.
"How was it at the end of 2006? Or early 2008? Jenny said, "All the filming was done at the end of 2006, and the beginning of 2008 was also a good time, and we can use a more peaceful reason, I don't know, love has become family, less together, more separation, and so on." ”
"The ideal is the beginning of 2008, of course, but if you don't want to endure this marriage for three years, the end of 2006 is a good time." Cesare commented, "But you'd better meet up with Anna, who insists that you might just be in the mood by accident - I suspect that maybe she'll hear about you and Chris, and decide you're trying to kick off Josh and have a relationship with Chris of higher status." ”
"She's thinking too much." Jenny said helplessly, "Well, if you think we need to meet, then hurry up and schedule a time, we'll be back in the Caribbean soon......"
After a few more conversations with Cesare, she hung up the phone and prepared to head to the cloakroom, but when she pushed the door open, she was stunned for a moment—Claudia was standing outside the door, staring at Jenny with wide eyes.
"Uh, sorry." Claudia was the first to speak, and she gestured to the room, "I didn't ...... without permission You know, eavesdropped on your phone. ”
Although Jenny didn't like to be listened to on the phone, but then again, if she was Claudia, she would definitely not be able to help listening to this call, Claudia chose to stay and admit it, rather than quickly slip away after listening, which can be regarded as generous, she shook her head, "It's okay, it's me who didn't close the door properly." - I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but the matter hasn't been finalized yet, and I don't want to meddle in the matter between Anna and Josh. ”
"Nothing." Claudia shook her head, the smile on her face was gone, and she walked to the cloakroom with Jenny, "So...... Are you ready to break up with Josh? ”
"I don't know yet, it depends on what Josh means." Jenny said calmly, "You see, the crux of the matter is that Chris himself is very famous, and if he is just a nobody, I can arrange for him to be Josh's assistant, which will make things very simple, you know, like me and you." But Chris isn't Nobody, he's bigger than all of us, and it's tricky, and I always have what I need, but in Hollywood, it's impossible to maintain both at the same time, and even if Josh is willing to cover for us, it's ridiculous to run to Malibu all day long - and there will be more conflicts like this in the future, I guess that's why fake relationships can't last forever, for most people, it's just a stopgap measure. ”
It's like yesterday, she and Chris basically didn't talk much, and of course it was impossible for them to leave together, which was tantamount to sending news to the paparazzi. Jenny hadn't been thinking about him for a long time, but the truth was that keeping her engagement to Josh would make it difficult for her to have a free relationship with men and women in Hollywood. This must be very inconvenient for Jenny, Josh is because of Claudia, otherwise it is estimated that he would not be able to stand it for a long time.
Claudia nodded, "Fairenough...... Since you don't get married, the marriage contract will be canceled sooner or later, and to be fair, it's hard for Josh to give you any help in your career now......"
Without waiting for Jenny to deny it, she pursed her lips again, "So, now it's you and Cesare who want to stop, and Ana who wants to ...... Married? ”
Jenny gave her a sympathetic look, "yes, after all, we announced our engagement before, and "Unstoppable" did well...... But Josh shouldn't be hiding it from you, he certainly doesn't know yet, and I'm not going to say yes, so it's still the same as before-"
Claudia barely smiled, "Yes, it's the same as before...... I'm sorry I didn't do what I shouldn't have done, and I'm sorry, Jenny, I'm not going to do it again - now, let's take a look at the sponsorship suit from Valentino. ”

"Jennifer."
"Miss Jefferson."
"Jane!"
As always, the celebration party is actually a job for the star herself, even if Jenny is just standing up for Josh, but who makes her popular now? With Josh being pulled away early on by excited crew members, Jenny has to rely on Mary and Jim to survive among the various people brought about by investors, studio executives, and the crew's well-connected connections - not to say that she needs to please anyone, of course, but on the contrary, everyone is so eager to compliment her that Jenny doesn't know what to react to.
"Regarding "The Fifth Sally", we have a strong desire to buy the distribution rights, Jennifer, you must show us when the sample comes out......"
"Jane, interested in being on Jimmy. Canmore Show? You should be having fun, I mean, you're on The Conan Show, you're on the Letterman Show, but you've never been on The Jimmy Show, and that's stressing us out......"
"You're so beautiful today, Jennifer, where are you sitting? I'll introduce you to a friend in a moment, he's a promising fashion designer—"
Jenny smiled, politely dealing with all sorts of people at Jim and Mary's prompts, "Joan, you have to ask Jim about this, I don't know which company will release this film at all." ”
"There's going to be a chance, Jimmy—"
"I should be in that area and ask your friends to bring his albums......"
"Thank you, Andy, but I seem to see Josh calling me ......"
Different crews have different styles, the crew of "Unstoppable" is obviously the kind that plays relatively high, the celebration party is to charter the entire nightclub to hold a party, when everyone gradually gets high, in the deafening music, the crowd that came to talk to Jenny gradually dispersed, Jenny finally got a little quiet, she tiptoed to find it, and successfully found Josh in the center of the nightclub, but it was not easy to squeeze through the hot dancing crowd to get there. Jenny gave up after a moment's notice, turned to the other side to greet Christopher. "Hey—Buddy."
"Hey, 'Buddy'." Christopher playfully punched Jenny in the shoulder, before bumping his fist with her, "See you again." ”
"yes, meet again." Jenny quipped, "What a coincidence, isn't it?" ”
Christopher laughed, "yes, it's a shame, yesterday's birthday party ended too early - I was actually stuck on the way back to Malibu, think about it, if only the power had been out for dozens of minutes earlier-"
"Chris!" His hints and flirtatious were interrupted - like Jenny, there were not many people who wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Christao. Who made the crew of "Unstoppable" have no big-name stars, and the few middle-aged actors who played with Josh couldn't steal their limelight at all. "Remember me? I'm James from Lexington Car Dealership......"
Jenny also felt that it was dangerous for her and Chris to stay any longer, but Chris would be at the celebration today, and she was indeed quite useful, women always like to watch men bother for themselves, and Chris's level of hospitality is just right. "I'm going to Josh's, and you'll have to have a good chat with your buddy in a while - maybe he'll go to your villa for a second party tonight."
Chris flicked his tongue at her, his eyes crooked, and he couldn't deny that his smile was indeed delicious. "Gotit, see you later."
Jenny waved at him, smiled and nodded to the manager of the car dealership, and then did her fiancée duty and squeezed around Josh to cheer him on - Josh was drinking with his brothers in the crew, and their arrogance had formed an atmosphere of cheering and cheering in a small area.
“God。” Jenny managed to squeeze to the front of the crowd, and she hugged Claudia to keep her balance, "How much did he drink?" I didn't know Josh was so good at drinking. ”
Several young people in the crowd were drinking beer from the oversized straw in a posture of holding a big top, several large draft beer cups were placed on the high table, obviously competing for the speed of drinking, Josh's cup fell the fastest, but the rest of the people also chased it with a considerable speed, the crowd of onlookers was already excited and began to shout, Claudia laughed and clapped her hands, while shaking her head and said, "It's been several times, I'm not worried about his brain now, but his bladder." ”
Jenny laughed, "-I can understand his feelings, let him drink." ”
Indeed, if it weren't for her dislike of drinking, Jenny would have been drunk on the first day of "Prada" box office, and the joy of this kind of project, which was generally not favored in advance, would have been stronger after achieving good results. It's also normal for the crew members to get together and enjoy the refreshing feeling of raising their eyebrows. Although Josh usually acts indifferent, this can only be said to be a protective color, and Jenny has never seen a star who doesn't care about the box office.
“Yeah!” The crowd erupted in loud cheers, and the two boys stepped forward to help Josh stand upright, Josh wiped the beer from his lips, spit out the straw, and picked up the draft beer glass and waved it at the crowd, and the crowd cheered with dignity, "Josh, Josh, Josh!" ”
Josh, who is usually sunny and mild, was also very proud after drinking, and with a 'bang', he threw the draft beer glass to the ground and strode towards Claudia and Jenny, and the cheers of the crowd also changed, "Josh! Josh! Josh! ”
In the cheers of everyone, Jenny keenly felt that something was wrong, and Josh was obviously red-eyed.
Before she could alert Claudia, Josh had already walked up to them, aiming to ...... her Lined up, he hugged Claudia and kissed her, and the cheers around her suddenly turned into laughter, and strange screams came and went: it was clear that Josh was now so drunk to the crowd that he had kissed the wrong person.
Jenny was a little embarrassed now, and she looked left and right at the crowd, trying to find the most appropriate way to deal with it.
Something in the crowd seemed to reflect the light once, and Jenny's eyes were almost instinctively drawn to the light: after thousands of 'A's, it had become her instinct to recognize the lens reflection......
Just as she was looking at each other, Jenny's eyes met Claudia, compared to Josh, who hugged tightly and kissed emotionally, Claudia's reaction was of course more rational, she didn't indulge in the kiss, but kept trying to struggle out of Josh's arms-
The two women looked at each other, and Claudia seemed to understand something from Jenny's expression, and she closed her eyes, and suddenly struggled violently, deftly broke free from Josh's arms, and shouted at him in annoyance.
The crowd around laughed, Josh shook his head, and in Claudia's hard push, he opened his hand and walked towards Jenny with drunken eyes, Jenny hurriedly stepped forward and hugged him half-hugged and half-helped, and in the high-pitched whistles and strange screams, in the light and darkness of the aperture again and again, pressed Josh's head, and tiptoed to complete the kiss.
Of course, she and Josh have kissed many times, but this time the embarrassment index is definitely in the front row - Josh's lips clearly still have Claudia's residual warmth.
