Chapter 176: A New Beginning
“cut!” Gore. Verbinsky shouted through the microphone and said energetically, "good! ”
There was a burst of cheers on the set, and Jenny was carrying her costume and Johnny. Depp smiled and clashed his fists, "Well done!" John. ”
"So do you, J.J." Johnny took off his big hat and fanned himself, "It's finally on time - I thought it was going to drag on for a few more days." ”
"Fortunately, the weather has been nice lately." Jeanne said from the bottom of her heart, untying her tight collar, "The thought of not needing to smell it again for a while makes me so happy that I want to have a drink—there is hardly anything other than alcohol that can overshadow the aftertaste in my nostrils." ”
"Who's to say it isn't?" Johnny raised his arm and sniffed himself, making a disgusting and vomiting expression, "Uh-huh, I'll have to pour myself two bottles of wine to forget the smell." ”
Jenny laughed at him, "You're already justifying your alcoholism, John." ”
"What are you talking about?" Josh, who had already removed his makeup and changed into his daily clothes, walked over refreshed, "Are you going to have a drink later?" ”
"Of course." Johnny said kindly, and walked over to Josh with open hands, "To celebrate, come and hug, Josh?" ”
"Forget it." Josh stepped aside, "Let's go take a shower, the set is full of weird smells from you." ”
Indeed, even Gore didn't come to talk to Jenny, but stood on the other side of the venue to discuss something with the assistant director, and Jenny grimaced and grinned as she walked to her make-up room - in this good mood, she didn't want to let herself think about wearing this dress again during the reshoot next year: this is also the scariest part of costume action scenes, in order to maintain the costumes, the costumes are usually not washed, and if it is a fashion show, the crew can also be asked to find a few to replace. But there is no way to do costume dramas, Jenny's clothes are quite expensive, and filming in a tropical environment also means sweating and sweating again and again......
Caucasian people have a heavy body odor, and the scene is full of these actors who can only wear a set of clothes for many years and shoot repeatedly, and in the later stage of the feature filming, Jenny can't tell what she is suffering from heat stroke, anyway, she starts to have a headache as soon as she smells her costume. What's more, this time when I came back to make up the shooting, people found that because the weather was too humid, many costumes were slightly moldy.
She can be regarded as having made many kinds of films, if you put aside the difficulty of entering the play and only talk about the shooting environment, then the most comfortable shooting is "The Devil Wears Prada", with many costumes, a good shooting environment, easy framing, and a short shooting time. And "Pirates of the Caribbean" made Jenny have a very bad impression of action movies, easy to get hurt, shoot for a long time, NG many times, and both times had unlucky injuries, if she had a choice, she would not want to make action movies after - although "Avatar" also has a lot of action scenes, but a person is always allowed to dream.
"Give." After a quick shower and a change into her regular clothes, Jenny re-entered the studio. After the second film was completely completed, it was also transformed into a party scene, and many food trucks and drink trucks were promoted, and it became a party place for the crew. Josh walked over from a distance and greeted her, handing her a bottle of beer. "The last cold beer in a short time - the ice is gone, and they're sending someone out to buy it."
"Thank you." Jenny took the beer from Josh, "Oh, yes. ”
She pulled out a small jewelry box from her bag, "Here you go, I should have given it to you, but I keep forgetting - this thing actually sat in my bag for days, I mean, during my shoot, countless people could break into the trailer and just take it away - good thing they didn't." ”
"Ahh Josh opened the box and looked at it, he threw a peanut into his mouth, first put it in his pocket, but then seemed to change his mind and stuffed it back into Jenny. "Nah, I'd better leave it here for you."
"Aren't you going to sell it back to Graf?" Jenny asked, "This should make you a lot of money, it's already a stone with a story after all." ”
"Forget it." Josh shook his head, jumped into a prop box, and pulled Jenny up again, "You can sell it as if it were the charity I donated to you - maybe it will save me some taxes." ”
He was adamant—perhaps because he saw the past as a mistake and didn't want to leave any evidence," Jenny shrugged, "Okay, maybe I'll pass it on to Claudia, do you have any opinions?" ”
"Nope." Josh said, "What do you know? In fact, you should give it to Claudia, and I do owe her a ring, that's true. ”
His mood was inevitably a little low, but that was a few months ago, and Josh quickly picked himself up again and grinned and touched the bottle with her, "I guess, this is the end of an era." ”
"I'm really reluctant." Jenny said sincerely, "Although you have never done anything nutritious in my house, it is really unaccustoming to think that there will be fewer regulars in the house in the future. ”
"I'll be able to visit more often in the future." Josh reassures, "After all, we're just 'more like relatives than lovers,' aren't we?" Demi. Moore and Bruce. Willis also visited each other often, and people didn't talk about it. ”
"That's because they have several children." Jenny complained, but still laughed, "You're right, when the starring role of "Avatar" is determined and the whole thing is completely over, we can really 'be friends again'." ”
"Sounds exciting." Josh echoed, grinning, "Maybe we can have a double date with Leo and his new love." ”
"And then let the Hollywood paparazzi go crazy en masse?" Jenny laughed, "Forget it, it's too exciting." ”
Josh laughed too, he took the initiative to open his hand to Jenny, Jenny also threw herself into his arms, the two hugged for a long time, Josh patted her on the shoulder, "Take care - remember, you can come to me if you have any questions." ”
"The same goes for you." Jenny patted him the back, "I'll check on your house from time to time, Mr. Blanche, if I find out big. If you have any clues, you will be miserable. ”
"Never let that go, huh?" Josh's voice was soaked with laughter and warmth.
"Of course, always remember." Jenny winked at him.
The two laughed at each other for a while, and Josh picked up the beer bottle again, "So, you're really going to play "Avatar" next?" Really don't accept art films? ”
"It's hard to say right now." Jenny replied truthfully, ""Avatar may not start filming within the year, maybe I will act in some low-budget literary films in the second half of the year, but until the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean", I have no plans to negotiate a film contract - it is difficult for the market to price me now, and we don't have the energy to pick a script for the time being." ”
"Ah, you mean—" Josh raised his voice knowingly.
Jenny nodded, "If there are no accidents, this time when I go back to Hollywood, the contract will be officially signed and announced, and there will definitely be a lot of things to be busy in the next few months - when all this is over, I am really, really going to take a good vacation, and it feels like I haven't taken a day off in the past five years." ”
"That's why you're the most noteworthy investor and producer in Hollywood." Josh said solemnly, "Your hard work is rewarded. ”
Jenny picked up peanuts and threw them at him, "Don't laugh at me, Hollywood's most promising future superstar." ”
Josh grimaced, "Don't call me that, you should call me 'The Last Hermit in Hollywood.'" ”
He burst out laughing, and when he saw that Jenny wasn't smiling, he took out his phone explanatorily, "Have you read TMZ's review article?" Didn't you see it? Look, this article is wonderfully written. ”
The make-up in South Carolina took a little longer than Jenny thought, and it was already late March, which meant that the post-production of "Pirates" was once again tight, and the cast had to rush to do post-dubbing and a lot of publicity work, and of course, it also meant that the news of her breakup with Josh had been announced to the media by Judy. In order to compensate TMZ, this time the news was exclusively released by them, Jenny and Josh also cooperated to shoot a video of the conversation between the two talking and laughing and shaking hands amicably: TMZ prefers to shoot videos compared to ordinary paparazzi, and they think that users of the TMZ website prefer videos and think that it is more real and credible.
Yes, the external caliber of the two teams is to break up amicably, and they have broken up at the beginning of this year, and it was directly written in the official statement, 'The two are still very good friends and relatives, but love has replaced family affection.' Jenny and Josh peacefully dissolved their engagement and wished each other happiness soon. Coupled with the video shot by TMZ, as well as the follow-up press release created by the team, the sporadic rumors released before, the reaction of the outside world was unexpectedly calm, and fans on both sides did not even attack each other, Jenny and Josh can be regarded as 'good together', successfully completed this cooperation, and did not get involved in deeper and more ridiculous rumors.
Of course, this is also related to the good external environment, first of all, Leonardo has recently had a new love, which has diverted the attention of many people, and secondly, the news about "Avatar" has leaked out, and the media has released a very cautious rumor, without mentioning the name, only saying that it is Cameron's new project, Leo and Jenny are interested in joining, and Christopher also seems to have ambitions for the role - this news annoyed Universal and Cameron, but it really cleared Jenny's suspicion of splitting legs, It also reassures her fans. However, Jennifer. The keyword Jefferson's splitting has become a hot search for Yahoo and Google, and her public image has been damaged to a certain extent.
In addition, the public also has an understanding attitude towards the breakup of the two, mainly because, although the two sides are still engaged in extremely difficult--difficult bargaining, calculating details and picking words (which is one of the reasons why Cesare has not been able to talk about a new film for her recently, all his energy has been spent on this), but Disney has now begun to build momentum for the big dream of taking a stake: recently, the media seems to have suddenly discovered Jenny's talent in investment and production, and they have all begun to take stock of Jenny's production achievements. And to quote Wendy. Fenneman's praise: 'This girl is really making a film, not just a name. She is present in every step of 'The Devil Wears Prada', Harvey. Weinstein's compliment: 'The Fifth Sally is a great thing to do without Jennifer, and I wouldn't have considered making this film without her, she's a great producer.' ’
In a word, now Jenny's reputation for 'both civil and military' has spread, and her countless halos are plated with a layer of gold, although this is not her original intention, but in the face of this generous gift from Disney, Jenny seems to have no other choice than to be grateful and smile.
Judy took advantage of this and announced that Josh would leave the film industry for half a year and go to the UK to study acting, so that the routes of Josh and Jenny are already obvious: one is focused on acting, and the other is multi-faceted. Compared with his fiancée, who is stronger than him in all aspects, his style has always been very simple, as a new star, Josh, who is not in love with the excitement and power of Hollywood, and is dedicated to cultivating acting skills, is known as 'Hollywood's last hermit' It doesn't seem to be too numb. - Since then, the peaceful breakup of the two seems to be an inevitable result, and fans on both sides can be satisfied, and Josh also took the opportunity to plate himself with a layer of 'single-minded acting' gold, if he plans to hit the Oscars and transform into an acting school, this can add a lot of points to him.
As for Jenny, the addition of this layer of producer's aura, except for the media's advocacy, does not seem to have caused any repercussions among the masses - compared to her poor background, once popular, and won the Oscar after five years in the industry, her aura of being good at investment and production seems to be just soso to the public. This news can certainly make the core fans rejoice, but it is difficult to touch the public's excitement threshold - this is the disadvantage of being a legend, the masses have become accustomed to her ox x, no matter how good it is, it seems that it can't break through the excitement of the moment when she won the Oscar twice.
Of course, this is not to say that the public has lost interest in her, on the contrary, the public's interest in her has shifted to the other side - when Hollywood is talking about Disney's investment this time, and looking at her differently, there is such a set of conspiracy theories quietly circulating in the online community: Many people who have watched the TMZ video refuse to believe that her relationship with Josh is over, but think that they are still a couple who are sincerely in love, and the current breakup is just forced by the situation, what situation? It's that she and Leonardo are really going to shoot James. Cameron's latest big production is here, and the producers are ready to hype up the scandal between her and Leonardo, so Jennifer and Josh can only go underground, but the eyes of the two of them looking at each other are enough to explain everything, compared to the far-fetched scandal of Jenny and Leonardo, this pair is clearly a couple.
For this kind of news that can't harm her, Jenny can't rush out the puppeteer to control the scene, and moreover, the puppeteer can't manipulate the public opinion on the Internet freely, and they can't do anything about this kind of public opinion orientation formed spontaneously by the masses, whether it is Jenny or Josh, or even Cesare, Judy and Chris, they can only accept this result with tears and laughter: the reaction of the masses is an affirmation of their work, at least from the perspective of some public opinion today, the two of them have done their work very well......
After the last shrill roar, Johnny. Depp's private jet came to a standstill on the runway of Los Angeles Airport, and the main creators of Gore, Johnny, Josh, and Jenny walked out of the cabin to meet their team. Jenny took off her headphones as she walked to her car and hugged Mary, Claudia, and Judy, "Hey, Claudia, long time no see—"
"Hey." Cesare had finished greeting Johnny and Josh and walked up to her, "Was the journey still enjoyable?" ”
Although he was wearing sunglasses, so that he was more expressionless than usual, Cesare could tell that he was in a pleasant mood at this moment. Jenny gave up watching Claudia and Josh greet each other, she put on her sunglasses, chewed the gum she used to relieve motion sickness a little louder, and deliberately said in an arrogant southern accent, "What do you say? Broker? It's better to have a good time. ”
She couldn't help but laugh, and then returned to her usual tone, "-Seriously, why are you here?" I thought you were supposed to have a meeting at the company today. ”
In response to the joke, Cesare seemed to glare at her from behind his sunglasses (Jenny noticed that there seemed to be faint signs of bags under his eyes), but he was clearly in a good mood today, and his tone didn't get cold, "If that's the case, then I guess you still have the energy to sign a contract or two with the company?" It's not very important -- it's about one or two hundred million -- "
"It's been completely negotiated?" Jenny raised her voice, "Didn't you say last night about how the allotment was implemented—"
"Disney has made concessions and done it the way we want," Cesare said, a rare dimple on his lips but in a serious tone. "So I think we'd better strike while the iron is hot before they change their minds again—"
“yes!” Jenny couldn't help but interrupt him, and she pulled Cesare to her car, "Finally! yes! Let's go sign that damn contract! Yo hoo! ”
Thinking about the changes this contract could bring to Big Dream: Avatar, Marley and I, Twilight, Disney's shareholder seat -- she sped up a few bits. In this moment, Jenny experienced a happiness better than anything else - better than money, perhaps better than love, definitely better than the success that had been achieved, this happiness seemed to compensate for all her sweat and troubles, in this moment, the fatigue of the past was irrelevant, the important thing was the future, the ambition, the expectation, the hope, the blank, the ambition -
She can't wait to run to tomorrow.
