Chapter 163: A Living Legend
"Good morning, Miss Double Actress." With a brisk greeting, Mary pushed open the door and walked in, "Voicemail - full, SMS inbox - full, if the email inbox has a storage limit, I think it will be full." ”
Her steps were much lighter than usual, and her tone was like that of an opera heroine, "--but obviously, there are too many unread emails to read at all, so technically it's about full-"
With a bang, she opened the heavy curtains, "Of course, the front door, the back door, and the side door of our house, as you can see, are also full." ”
Jenny moaned whiningly. With a groan, she almost tumbled from the side of the bed to the floor, and through the half-open window, a faint human voice had reached her ears, "Shot, I must have forgotten to close the window last night - no wonder I've been dreaming about being photographed and interviewed this morning." ”
She came to the window, and through the cover of the flowers and trees and the curtains, she peeked at the movement of the front door in the distance, "How many people are gathered at the door?" ”
"More than fifty paparazzi." Mary happily replied, "Don't look at me like that, I-you've just made history, Jane, it's a big deal." ”
"yes, a big thing that reminds me once again that I should buy a big house as soon as possible." Jenny looked at her phone, "What, it's already ten o'clock?" - Damn it, Mary, you know my rules-"
This is Jenny's habit, usually she falls asleep before 12 o'clock and wakes up before 8 o'clock in the morning, even if she has special circumstances and can't stay up late, she rarely sleeps in bed. Because doing so doesn't give the body rest other than disrupting the biological clock.
"I'd love to wake you up, too, but since I'm only half an hour ahead of you—" Mary grimaced and followed Jenny into the bathroom, "and very efficiently skipped breakfast and spent half an hour browsing the web, so let's let this little mistake pass." ”
Jenny glared at her through the mirror, "You're trying to appetize me—but it's useful, I'm listening—I guess I can't count on Judy." ”
"Yep, it's very obvious that she's definitely going to have to see a doctor today to deal with her PTSD." Mary exaggerated, "You don't see Judy's look on Jamie's face when she announces the news - she looks like she's going through a heart attack." ”
"Let's be honest, which of us isn't?" Jenny sighed as she squeezed her toothpaste, "I'm still a little dizzy - tell me the media didn't scold me." ”
She wasn't too optimistic about that, and while she probably figured out why people were so kind to her at AfterParty last night, it was another first for Oscar, and frankly, she was still far from her predecessors who had made the first appearance before. Even if she just won the actress with "The Fifth Sally", her qualifications will cause enough controversy, not to mention that "The Devil Wears Prada" will not be considered for the Oscars at all, and even the nomination is reluctant. There is no need for anyone to push behind it, any media person with a normal IQ will definitely spray the Oscars at this time, questioning whether there is a shady scene, and Jenny can't say that she was bullied and wronged, but if there is no media spraying her, it is abnormal. - Everything happened so suddenly last night that by the end of the AfterParty, the whole team was almost tired, and the first batch of newspapers had already been sent to the factory for printing, and it was estimated that the news report had already come out, and it was too late to meet again to discuss countermeasures, so Jenny simply didn't think about these things and went home and slept well.
"The media didn't scold you." Mary said.
Jenny almost thought she had misheard, she stopped brushing her teeth, foamed at the foam, and muttered, "What? ”
"It's not that there's no media scolding you," Mary shrugged, "but the number is higher than I was yesterday. Thinking much less before bed, basically the ones I browsed last night, questioning, black. Scenes, and so on, but I just watched it, and now everyone is paying attention to how many big names have gone to AferParty, and there is an inventory post, which has now been transferred everywhere, all of which are photos of you and those celebrities, and you and Reese, you and Michelle, I guess the online media have been shocked, and now everyone is speculating about what happened. ”
The start—a surprise, but good news for the team—Jenny sped up her brushing motion, pushed Mary out of the bathroom and took a combat shower, "What about Cesare, is he in the office?" ”
"When I arrived, Judy was also in a meeting with her team, Cesare just emailed me, he sent some PR from the company last night and is now following up on the progress," Mary reported, "You know, this time it's been a big deal for CAA, so Ino personally went to his floor, and then they'll discuss your follow-up PR strategy, and Chesa told you—"
"At home, have breakfast, don't go anywhere, don't talk to anyone about your award — he'll come and see you after the meeting," she read the email on her phone. ”
"Very good." Jenny glanced out the window, "I'm not sure I'll be able to break through to the company under the circumstances." ”
They walked down the stairs, and Rosa, the cleaner, put down the feather duster in her hand. "Miss Jefferson—I haven't congratulated you yet."
Her cheeks flushed with excitement, "I screamed for two minutes last night - I'm cleaning a house for a living legend right now!" ”
"Oh, Rosa." Jenny smiled and said, "Are you acting a little too exaggerated-"
"Am I exaggerating? Miss Jefferson? Rosa's eyes widened, "A living legend is standing right in front of me, and she's still telling me that I'm acting too exaggerated?" ”
"Forget it, Rosa." Jenny smiled and waved her hand, and she walked into the kitchen with Mary, who began to prepare breakfast while she began to check her private voicemail.
Not many people know about this private number, but even so, Jenny has received greetings from many people - Dave, who specially called to congratulate her and expressed her concern about the follow-up report. James. Schubert, to congratulate her, and by the way, to find out how she got both titles, Claudia, Rhode Island, she called to ask what was going on. Lillian called to ask if she was already home, because she wanted to leave the party, but didn't see her - and Josh called to tell her that her door was blocked by the paparazzi.
"It was five o'clock in the morning when I got home last night, but I was stopped and asked if I was happy for you and how it felt to be the man behind the queen." Josh laughed in the message, "I guess that's a good reason to break up, isn't it?" I can't get used to life as a man behind the queen - it sounds very advanced, anyway, I think I should come over these days, or the media will hype up some emotional news and call me back when it's convenient. ”
Jenny listened to the messages while browsing the letters in the mailbox, these letters were varied, there were partners and colleagues who knew her to congratulate her, congratulatory notices copied by the partner company, interview invitations, rude hateful messages, cooperation invitations, producers who directly attached the script to her to take a look, and of course, love letters written by crazy fans, which she has indeed been receiving since she became famous.
"The world feels like it's been turned upside down by what happened last night." Jenny said with some grumbling, "By the way, what about public opinion on the Internet? ”
"Oh, you know the netizens." Mary said as she cut the boiled eggs, "I went to the fan forum and saw it, everyone is happy for you, and no one thinks you don't deserve these two awards." At ONTD, some people are saying that you don't deserve the award, but more people are paying attention to your connections in Hollywood, and no one is particularly disgusted by your award, at least until the media hypes it, I don't see anyone really getting emotional. Of course, a lot of people think it's unfair, but you know, it's the Oscars—"
Mary grimaced, and Jenny nodded knowingly, "I see this every year. ”
She breathed a sigh of relief, clicked on her fan forum and read a few pages, and had the courage to go to ONTD to see the excitement, indeed, things were better than she expected, of course, many people were saying that she was not worthy of these two titles, but most people regarded it as a more daily entertainment gossip, and they were not provoked to fight and attack. On the contrary, most people's interest is not in her right now, but in digging into her team, which is now talking about the power of the surname Vijeri, since Cesare and Judy are the two most exposed.
Jenny flipped through her email as she ate her breakfast, "We've got three pages of invitations, Mary—do you know what I just realized?" ”
Mary asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"What happened last night has affected my life in all its entirety," said Jenny solemnly, "in all sorts of ways - I just received a letter from my elementary school teacher who wanted me to go back to elementary school to give a talk - no one in this world will look at me with old eyes, will he?" ”
"Yes, Rosa is right," said Mary, smiling as she refueled herself with a cup of coffee, her eyes twinkling as she looked at Jenny dreamily. "You're already a living legend - and I can't imagine I'm serving a living legend, and this morning it was my dad's phone call that woke me up and he said he was proud of me. For the first time ever, I became the cooler kid in our family. ”
"Seriously, are you even here for this?" Jenny didn't know whether to be happy or angry, "Living legend - Mary, weren't you by my side during the whole publicity process, don't you know the story behind these two awards?" ”
Mary shrugged, "Ah—the doorbell rings, it's Cesare!" ”
#
Cesare had changed into a new suit, and he smelled of aftershave and toothpaste, but even a freshening up couldn't hide the pale teal color of his eyes—it was clear that he wouldn't have had more than three hours of rest last night.
Jenny brought him a large cup of coffee into the little study, "Do you know you're on ONTD?" I just read a post about you, and it's very exciting. ”
"I had been on the phone for three hours straight before I came." Cesare said that his voice was indeed a little deeper than usual, "so I would appreciate it if you could talk less nonsense." ”
"Finally, there's one person who has been consistent with me, and that's really touching." Jenny breathed a sigh of relief as she poured herself a glass of water, "The world has changed madly since you woke up this morning—but I think you'll know what I mean better than I do." ”
Cesare replied with an affirmative bow, after yesterday's rare gaffe, today he has returned to his previous self-denial, almost always in a stable state of absolute zero, "I can't help but admit that last night was indeed ...... It's amazing. Although I know that reality is always unexpected, in your case, the number of small probability events does occur more frequently. ”
He calmly exchanged a look with Jenny, as if that would sum up the excitement of last night, Jenny couldn't help but giggle, "Don't think you can erase yesterday's image from my mind, Cesare, I didn't say it last night just because I was scared enough, but I'm not so panicked now—I'll always remember the scene when you ran up to me backstage, blushing as if you were drunk, talking three times faster than usual, and abusing the word 'now' all the time—"
Cesare glared at her, and continued unmoved, "But you do know that things have been completely different since last night, have you?" ”
"Yes." Jenny took it when she saw it, she touched her nose and returned to her seriousness, "And I guess that's what this meeting is for, right, to discuss last night's Oscars, and what it means for the future, and of course what we can do with it." ”
Cesare nodded, and he opened a folder, "Let's talk about your career as an actor first - your short-term goals have certainly changed since last night, right?" ”
"Yes." Jeanne didn't expect Cesare to choose this not-so-urgent topic to start, and she followed Cesare's words with some confusion. "Before that, we decided to make a real Olympics movie after 'Pirates' -- you know, all the elements that the judges loved -- but I don't think we have to go ahead and dig through the script now."
This is indeed their plan, "The Fifth Sally" is just to give full play to the advantages of acting, get a nomination, and sit down to the reputation of the acting school. What Jenny has to do is to take on a film that combines as many Olympic elements as possible - biopics, political correctness, playing ugly, widows, and award-winning directors...... So far, they haven't found a suitable script, but now, of course, everything is completely different.
"Indeed, if your previous milestone was to be the first Oscar," Cesare shrugged his shoulders and continued in a slightly disapproving tone. "Now that we've moved away from that goal for the time being, there's something else you're going to think about—"
In Jenny's expectant look, he spat out the word briefly: "Outdated." ”
The author has something to say: Note: 1 The elements that the Olympic Award judges liked before are true, and they are counted according to the attributes of actors who have won Oscars over the years......
2. Let's talk about the length of this article. You should also know from the previous article that the standard is not only the Oscar, at least in the logic of this article, the Oscar is by no means the same, and in reality, many Olympic Award winners are not paid high at all. The A, B, and Clist we are talking about are actually the standards of commercial films, and art films do not participate in this evaluation. So it's a bit one-sided to associate Oscar with ha.
Going on, although I would like to finish it before the end of the year, I don't know if I can do it, in my budget this article will be written around 2015 or even 2016, so it may be a while before it ends, if any reader doesn't like to read long articles...... Well, you've been warned.
There's a double watch tonight, oh ~~~~~~~~~
Let's come and see it later~ (it won't be more than half past nine at the earliest......
