55 stories after the audition
Although three consecutive media outlets have published her scandal, because Jenny and Will did not have any intimate actions, and of course, many fans watched the whole process of Will and Jenny recognizing each other, so this scandal did not arouse too many reactions on the discussion board, but some senior gossip fans have begun to dig deep into Cesare Jennifer. Between Bell Jeanne, Jenny also made the first time that she went on a social discussion forum similar to the gossip of Tianya Entertainment in her previous life. Watermark Ad TestWatermark Ad Test -- She's completely stained with Jennifer. For now, her regional fame is not enough for her to get the attention of ontd netizens.
Except for Will's resentment that he was said to be the object of Jenny's brief pleasure in New York, the whole thing basically passed without stirring up a little wave, and the only after-effect was that under Cesare's interference, the date that Jeanny owed Will could not be fulfilled for the time being: Cesare pointed out that at this juncture, if they were photographed again, the 'romance' between the two might be confirmed, which was not good news for Jenny, who practiced mysticism.
He was right, after these news, there were a lot more paparazzi around Jenny in a few days, and even once or twice, they sneaked near Jenny's apartment, but Jenny's busy and monotonous work obviously didn't give them any interesting material, and the biggest impact of the whole thing on Jenny was that she couldn't go out for a morning run like before.
The audition notice for "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the audition script were sent to Jenny in mid-March, including Ann who also received a similar letter, and the two simply bought tickets together and took leave of absence from James, and Ann also joked a few words to Jenny, implying that she must have performed very well at that party to earn an audition invitation for the heroine in one night.
Jenny didn't think it was true, she knew Ann was sour, but she couldn't get any real evidence, anyway she left alone that night, and Gore was still drinking near the bar when she left - she hadn't even asked for that goodnight and Jude. Lo disappeared for more than half an hour.
Not every audition will have a lot of stories, at least the audition waiting period for "Pirates of the Caribbean" is very calm, Jenny has seen a lot of familiar faces, but unlike the last time she auditioned for "Chicago", although these second-tier actresses are likely to have met on many occasions, they did not mean to say hello and talk at all in the waiting room, but each took the script and the magazine to read, although the atmosphere was implied tension, but no one did anything 'catfight' in the waiting room.
Five minutes before the audition began, Jenny's biggest opponent, Kayla. Knightley hadn't arrived yet, but there was no shortage of big names sitting in the waiting room, and one of Jenny's recognizable ones was Kirsten. Dunst, Alyssa. Dushku, and even Zoe. Denzchanel, and the remaining seven or eight candidates, are also young and beautiful, which makes people feel bright when they look at it.
For now, Dunst, Dushku and Deschanel are still on the same level, Dunst is a child star, this year there will be an uncertain future "Spider-Man" released, over the years, Hollywood's superhero films only the "Batman" series has achieved certain results, in addition to almost making a dead one, except for Jenny, no one may think that her star path and Dushkubi will have too much advantage, after all, Dushku is also a child star, starred in "True Lies", and his performance was quite acclaimed, In "Beautiful Girl Cheerleaders" starring with Dunst in 2ooo years, their roles are also almost the same. And obviously, Alyssa. Dushku is prettier.
As for Cashschanel, he is still only playing a supporting role in literary films, although he starred in a small-budget "Love You the Most", but it has not yet been released, and the three of them include Kayla who has not yet arrived. Knightley, in terms of roles, is not as good as Jenny, Jenny's Locke needs actress-level acting skills, but in terms of exposure, it is better than her, after all, Kayla, who is relatively the worst, is now the second female lead who has starred in youth romance films.
This list of starring candidates probably also shows the current allure of "Pirates of the Caribbean" - not to mention the level of actresses, even first-line girls can't be attracted, and only second- and third-tier newcomers who want to raise their prices and are not too picky about the quality of the film will compete for this role.
Of course, this is also a very normal thing, the pirates do not pay much, and the actors' budgets are all thrown on Johnny. Depp, it is rumored that he will even invite Orlando, who became popular because of "The Lord of the Rings". Bloom plays the second male lead, for actress-level actors, they are rushing for money when they appear in commercial films, and they are generally older, so they are not suitable for this role. As for Jennifer. A first-line girl like Bell, what people want is to make a film and win awards, even if she stars in commercial films, she must have the corresponding value support, if Disney can't afford it, she will definitely not come to star at a lower price. Besides, this movie made in order to promote the amusement project of the same name in Disneyland, from the subject matter to the purpose of shooting, and even the choice of actors, it is a street look, Jenny has heard Ann say before that she is not optimistic about the prospects of this film, although she came to audition, but it is also based on the mentality of making money and getting exposure opportunities, if you want to ask her how much she values this film, it can't be said.
"Of course, I'm grateful for Gore's appreciation for me." Ann shook her head as she talked on the plane, "But if I want to say, let Johnny . . . Depp to play an eccentric pirate captain? Of course, I know he's a very good actor and he's good at gothic roles, but I don't really think he's fit for this kind of commercial blockbuster, I mean, leaving Tim. Burton, his several attempts did not go well, and his face in "Chocolate of Love" is so blurred! Besides, judging from the current script, the plot is messy and complicated, and I doubt what the final effect will be. β
This is probably the common mentality of these audition actresses at the moment, so the atmosphere between the waiting rooms is so relaxed - although I aspire to become the heroine of an A-level production, but the gambling nature of this kind of thing is actually very heavy, if the box office is too poor, the next starring opportunity is far away, if you have doubts in your heart, then this role is not so inevitable.
In fact, to be honest, even Jenny didn't know why "Pirates of the Caribbean" performed so well at the box office, and she estimated that even Cesare didn't expect that this film would soar into the sky and become a terrible box office harvester. So if you want to talk about nervousness, the most nervous person should still be her - the current situation of several girls is not bad, to say that now with Kayla. Knightley's biggest difference is that they are not British, and besides, with the exception of Deschanel, none of them are black-haired.
The auditions began quickly, and everyone was given about ten minutes to perform, and Jenny was third in line, and she saw a large number of people behind the audition table, but only Gore and the other two had seats, which was the traditional audition trio - the director, the producer, and the Screen Actors Guild representative.
The representative of the Screen Actors Guild appeared here, the only purpose is to ensure that the final selection result will not obviously not meet the needs of the role, that is, to ensure that other candidates are not coming to accompany him, but in fact, in such an actress audition, the candidates are all above the level, and no one will joke with a large investment, so his role is almost negligible, Jenny looked at Gore, and the middle-aged man next to him - Jerry. Bruckheimer, Hollywood's most famous gold producer.
I don't know if it's Jenny's delusion, but she thinks Jerry looks at her very coldly.
"Hello, Jenny." Gore spoke up, "Nice to meet you. β
"Hello." She quickly focused, smiling charmingly at the audition table, wondering if she should simulate Marilyn. Monroe's superstar demeanor left a deeper impression on the other party, but he was afraid of arousing Gore's concerns, so after a short period of consideration, he had to give up.
The audition was as simple as reading a dialogue, showing off your British accent, making some faces to the camera, and talking to Johnny. Depp - Jenny was taken aback when he walked out of the crowd, and before that, she hadn't even recognized him from the crowd behind the audition table - right play.
Then the whole audition process is over, and Jenny can't tell if she is performing well or badly, which is like asking an Olympiad math master to do the elementary school exam, and she suspects that any actress who auditions will not perform too badly.
After the audition, Jeanne left directly - of course, the results of the audition could not be released immediately, and the filmmakers would call Cesare after the results were out.
Since she hadn't been back to the apartment for a long time, Jenny spent the rest of the day washing the apartment floor and cleaning up, and she wouldn't say she was nervous - but she couldn't help but admit that she did like to do chores to relieve her mood when she was nervous. This audition feels a lot like the last audition for "Chicago," where a group of talented actors compete for a role, anyone can win, and at the end of the day, all you can rely on is luck.
"I don't think the producers like me." She had dinner with Cesare and Lillian at their house that night, "Well, to be honest, I think he hates me, and he didn't say a word during the audition. β
"It's normal." "Bruckheimer was also a producer on Pearl Harbor. β
"Pearl Harbor" was the film that led to the parting of ways between Bell and Cesare, and it also directly contributed to the collaboration between Jenny and Cesare, Jeanne raised her eyebrows in surprise and turned to Cesare, "You didn't tell me before-"
"I don't think it makes any sense." "Jerry is a professional enough producer that even if he has any problems with me, I'm sure he can make an informed choice," Cesare said. As long as you act better than most people, he won't have a hard time with the film. β
"So, you admit that he hates you because of Pearl Harbor?" Jenny narrowed her eyes, "Don't tell me you've done anything other than forbid Bell to take over?" β
"All I can say is that as a friend I did what I had to do." "But Jerry seems to blame the box office waterloo of 'Pearl Harbor,' and I don't recommend Brad to play the lead actor," Cesare said politely. β
"We're talking about Brad. Pete? Jenny asked, "Oh my God, how many superstars did you bring with you?" β
"We're just friends, and Brad values my opinions." Cesare raised his glass and took a sip, a little thoughtful, "But I thought Jerry and I had shaken hands after I had said good things about Pirates to Johnny, and I don't think he didn't say anything because he wanted to target you." β
"Oh, so you and Johnny. Depp is also a close friend, right? Jenny asked, and then replied to herself, "But it's not surprising, you should know all the biggest names in Hollywood - come on, now that the auditions are over, I can do everything I can, and what else is there. Tell me the news. β
"Well, if you insist." Cesare ignored Lillian's obvious look of disapproval, "Basically, before I met you, Gore wanted to cast from London, and he always liked to use British actors, and he thought British actors were cheap and good - he spent a lot of effort trying to convince Jerry, and he and Jerry said that he wanted a brunette heroine." But Gore changed his mind after meeting you, and from what I know of Jerry, Gore's capriciousness will annoy him a little, and if he even knows Gore's current family situation, then he will also think that it is more risky to choose you as the heroine. After all, no one wants to make a scandal about the director and the heroine cheating during the filming of the film. β
He was about to say more, but the phone rang, and Cesare glanced at the screen before getting up to leave, "Sorry, this is a must-call." β
As he left the table, Lillian leaned over to Jenny and said, "Listen to me, my dear, I think Chesa is clearly a seedling, and he has drawn you a cake that is so big that you will be disappointed if you can'tβ"
Cesare returned to the table, Lillian stopped talking, and Jenny raised an eyebrow at Cesare, "Is it a call related to my audition?" β
"Are you a little too self-centered?" Cesare asked rhetorically.
"Oh, but I just saw your phone caller ID with Johnny.d's name on it." Jenny said she had just done her job of reading backwards again. "So before you said 'you don't have to do anything before the audition', you mean I don't have to do anything before the audition, and you're going to contact Depp for me and try to get his support? Don't you think I'll feel more at ease if you told me? β
Cesare sighed, "Whether or not you can get Johnny's support depends on whether you perform at the audition to his satisfaction, it's not a sure thing, even if I tell you early, what's the use?" β
Jenny put the spoon back on the table and made a slamming sound, "Like, to make me more engaged?" β
βokοΌokοΌβ Lillian intervened just in time, "Why don't we have some dessert?" β
As she went to get dessert, there was a brief awkward silence at the table, and then Jenny said, "I'm sorry, Chesa, I guess I'm a little too nervous." β
Cesare nodded slightly, "Johnny told me just now that Gore and Jerry have narrowed it down to you and Kayla. Knightley. Now the two are having a hard time deciding between you and her, Gore thinks you're prettier and has better acting skills, and Jerry thinks Kayla is an authentic British and has good acting skills. β
"Good." Jenny did feel her breath whistling - one step away, just one step away from Pirates of the Caribbean, the most lucrative franchise of all time.
Suddenly having no appetite for the salad in front of her, Jenny pushed away the plate and took a few deep breaths, "So, is it now the competition between Gore and Jerry?" β
"To keep you engaged," Cesare said, "I've decided to tell the truth -- yes, it's Gore and Jerry now, and Jerry is a veteran producer, and Gore is just a new director, and even if Johnny supports you, it's hard to say who will win or lose in the end." β
"Okay." Jenny took another deep breath, "Now, we really don't have much to do, do we?" β
She smiled at Lillian ("Honey, I have a sugar-free fruit smoothie for you") who came over with dessert, took her hand and said to Cesare, "It seems that the only thing you can do is to be nervous, will you want to join?" β
"Of course I do." Lillian sat down beside her, "Oh, dear, your hands are shaking. β
She sympathetically hugged Jenny's shoulders and rubbed them up and down twice, not raising any more objections. "Let me be nervous with you."
Cesare put down his knife and fork, and showed a slight expression of discomfort at the sight of his 'girlfriend' in front of him.
"If you don't mind," he said, "please let me make one last call before joining the 'Nervous Trio.'" β
"Yes, I admit that she has better acting skills, I watched her "CSI" and that episode was really brilliant. But what you can't deny is that she lacks a big-screen work," said Jerry. Bruckheimer said, "We have the same beautiful Kayla, Gore, and you can admit it yourself, Kayla is just as beautiful and just as talented." β
"But Kayla isn't as pretty as she is," Gore stressed, "and Kayla isn't as good as she is, and you know, Kayla was almost late today β I can tell she's not that enthusiastic about the film, and she's not even willing to go for breast augmentation for it." β
"This can be arranged." Without hesitation, Jerry said, "If we had selected her, if we had decided that breast augmentation was the best option, her agent assured me that Kayla would budge." β
"But she's a rebellious girl," Mr. Gore said, "and she wants to be in a literary film, and you can tell from her way of talking and acting that she doesn't care about the mainstream of Hollywood, and that her appearance in the audition room is entirely arranged by her agent." Of course, I'll use Kayla when we don't have a better option, and I'll go for her, but now that we have Jennifer, I don't see any reason for Kayla to play this commercial vase that she disdains. β
Jerry took a deep breath and he twisted his nose, "Johnny, your opinion?" β
"Jennifer, I've seen her show." Johnny. Depp said briefly, "I love her acting, and I think there's chemistry between her and me." β
Chemistry is not only between couples, even if they play mother and son, enemies will also have chemistry, even if both are actors, but if there is no chemistry, the relationship between the characters will be difficult to convince the audience, and there are countless examples of this.
"Hell chemistry." Jerry snarled, "Don't think I don't know, Johnny, you're just here for the hell Cesare. Vijri's love. It doesn't matter to you whether Kayla or Jennifer is for you, I can see - you came to the audition room today just to make sure Jennifer deserves your support - I don't see any chemistry in your play with her! β
Johnny. Depp spread his hands, "Easy, easy, Jerry, I can't deny that Vijri played a role in threading the needle in this matter, but I have to say, it's true that Kayla is very good, she has a cold arrogance that makes her unique." But Jennifer isn't bad either, and I'm sure you can tell that Jennifer's acting skills are great, she's beautiful, she's dedicated, she's quiet, and she's a great partner to work with β even without Vijri, I'd love Jennifer working with me more. β
Gore grunted in agreement, and Jerry glared at him and said in a determined tone, "No, no, Kayla, Kayla." β
"Please! Now it's a completely personal vendetta. Gore rolled his eyes unabashedly, "Jerry, I know you have a grudge against Vijri because of Pearl Harborβ"
"It's true that I hold a grudge against him, he can't go against it because it's a 'bad project he doesn't like', and now he's desperately stuffing people in because he's optimistic about 'Pirates', and it's shamelessly aimed directly at the heroine - for God's sake, that girl has only been in the industry for eight months!" Jerry slammed the script on the table, "Even if it's just to teach him a lesson, I'm not going to use Jennifer. Jefferson! β
Gore and Johnny exchanged glances, Gore sighed, and Johnny shrugged.
βokγβ He said, "Jennifer. Jefferson - out, now, if you'll give your permission, Jerry, I'm going to give shameless Vijery a call. β
He stood up, and Jerry snorted in satisfaction.
Then, the office phone, Jerry's mobile phone, Gore's mobile phone, Johnny's mobile phone, and all four phones rang almost at the same time, and three completely different mobile phone ringtones formed a strange concerto accompanied by the monotonous 'ringing ring' of the indoor telephone, and the gold medal producer, the big director, and the first-line actor looked at each other, all falling into a brief period of consternation.
