Speaking of which, since she and Chris met in the UK last year, including at the Oscars, for a full year, Jenny and Chris really have no chance to meet, Jenny's filming schedule this year is not too full, and she basically stays in Los Angeles in the second half of the year, but Chris is filming in Australia in the second half of the year, and he has no movies this year, so he has not returned to Los Angeles this season, and after a few exchanges between Sydney and London, I heard that I would go to the Great Barrier Reef for a vacation, if it weren't for this incident, The two really don't know when they will be able to talk again - although in the end, it was not too embarrassing to break up, but Jenny is not in the habit of being in close contact with her ex-boyfriend, and she has more contact with Josh, who has lived in New York for almost all these years, than Chris.

However, now that they have been on the phone, the two don't feel too unfamiliar, and Chris is still so reasonable, as if his behavior of making more than 4o phone calls is not naïve at all, and in response to Jenny's ridicule, he also didn't care about the ridicule back, "To make sure you and the damn Vijri didn't start cheating during our relationship, I won't stop even if I fight for a day, no way, it's about my male dignity ......"

Jenny laughed with him - after a day of dealing with all sorts of phone calls for all sorts of ideas, the call with Chris was so relaxed that she changed her position, "Oh, then you can ask Chesa, he'll be happy to answer you, after all, he doesn't have any reason to take care of you right now—he's fired you before you fired him." ”

"Oh, how sad you say that, you mean, the friendship between Chesa and me was a business necessity from the beginning?" Chris sighed pompously on the other end of the phone, "I hate you, how can you expose this cruel fact to me, a wayward star?" If I fall, it's all your fault. ”

Jenny laughed, she felt Chris's charm all over again - not that she had a renewed love for Chris, but that this familiar sense of humor did make her feel nostalgic, "You can say that to the media, my dear, if you fall, it's all Cesare's fault, I think those paparazzi will love you to death for that." ”

Chris chuckled a few times before his tone gradually turned serious, "Seriously, what is Chesa doing?" Why didn't he answer my call, I thought I was blocked by your whole group - Chesa, Judy, even Jim, Mary! And, of course, you, who are always in the line when you call. ”

"They're all answering the phone," said Jeanne, who reluctantly said that she didn't know whether she should be proud or frustrated: her performance at the Golden Globes was clearly excellent, and now the world is suspecting that she and Cesare are in love, and the fact that the director did not cut to Cesare last night also adds credibility to this speculation, because people do not see the reaction of the other person, and curiosity and imagination are more intense. Especially some friends who are more familiar with Jenny, when they call, they are convinced that she has fallen in love with Cesare and can't extricate themselves, and some advise her to separate love and career, don't let Cesare control all her life, Jenny is basically talking about people today, talking nonsense to hell, for those who care about people with other purposes, she has to come up with a set of words, and for these friends who really care about her, she can only deal with another set of words, not only can she not tell the truth, There could not even be a corresponding hint: for risk control reasons, she certainly could not actively spread the word about her relationship with Cesare. curtain message. "Cesare was right next door to me, and he seemed to have been talking for five or six hours straight."

"Oh, he's right next door to you?" Chris's voice became a little weird, "In your ...... In the Presidential Suite? ”

Jenny asked curiously, "How do you know?" Speaking of which, how do you know I'm staying in the Presidential Suite? ”

"Of course, because TMZ has sent someone downstairs at the hotel, I think they'll be back to keeping an eye on you 24 hours a day, and after you break up with me, you don't have a manor to hide into, baby." Chris said with some caution and some schadenfreude, but before Jenny could reply, he paused and added, "But you do need a safe manor right now - I don't know if you've thought about it, but when I saw the news, I thought of your stalker......"

A small shadow in Jenny's heart was a little heavier because of his words, but she quickly shook her head and threw it aside: the private investigator she hired had been tracking the stalker, and the security skills around her had not been left behind, and she had not heard from the stalker for the past few months, that is, she attended some "Monroe" promotional activities, and also attached great importance to the security of the participants. Intellectually, she's very safe with her, and even if someone tries to get close to her, they won't be able to get a chance, so there's no need to be too scared - it's also a sign of throwing in the towel.

“…… I think if you need a manor house where you can hide from the media and stalkers, you can still use my house for free, as long as you pay me the salary of a property security guard - as long as you don't mind what the media will blow up like because of it, and I can save a fortune because of it. Chris continued, and Jenny could hear his sincerity and the exhortation that contained a tongue-in-cheek tone, "Jenny, I know you've always cared a lot about your public image, but sometimes you have to learn not to care about what the media says about you, it's all about your mood – and of course, your safety. ”

Jenny's heart warmed, she had always known that Chris was a good friend, but the feeling of being cared for was still good.

"Thank you very much, Chris." She also softened her tone, "But this will really irritate the media, and it will also affect your current *, anyway, I need attention recently, after the Oscars, maybe I won't be staying in a hotel...... But thank you very much, really, thank you, c. ”

Chris was silent for a moment, apparently catching the hint in her words, and his tone became a little strange again, "So, you're buying a house?" Or do you just move into Cesare's house? I'm afraid his house can't stop the paparazzi, right? ”

With her current stamina, it was obviously a bit reluctant to deal with a terrible sharp Cris, but Jenny certainly didn't think to ask Chris more than 4o calls again (God knows how many more calls he gave Cesare), and she said, "Yes, his house can't accommodate me, so we'll buy another one in Malibu, which should be not far from your house, and I'm pretty much ready to buy it, but it's not time to buy a house yet - we'll be neighbors in the future." ”

Chris didn't answer her right away, his long, steady breathing became the only source of sound in the earpiece, and Jenny remained silent.

"So, the rumors are true, are you really going to get married?" Chris no longer pretended to be weird—he was no longer jealous, on the contrary, he had become so serious that Jenny could almost imagine his expression now—and his handsome face under the black hair was solemn, as if he had seen a sad news that some animal had died in a distant place, or that a good person had suffered another misfortune.

"Yes, we're getting married." She replied in the affirmative, trying to pour all her emotions into her tone: she didn't want Chris to ask any more, and it was better to stop there.

But Chris didn't care, and he immediately continued, "Is it for—"

"Chris!" Jenny shouted, interrupting Chris, pausing, and resuming with some pleading, "Chris." ”

&nbk, I see. Chris was obviously not surprised by the wordless answer she gave, and this was completely expected by Jenny - Chris is a very smart person, and during the relationship between the two, she told Cesare about Big Dream more than once in front of Chris, if he didn't guess anything, then underestimate him, although he never asked, but according to Jenny's prediction, this time, among all the people who may have vaguely guessed something, Chris should be the one who guessed the most and the most accurate, What he didn't guess might even be the number of Cesare's shares, and with what he knew about Jeanne and Cesare, especially Cesare, he could certainly see that the two could not have chosen to go the road of high-profile publicity, so it was of course easy to guess the intention behind this matter. "And you don't want to talk to me about it, and I get it."

"We can't trust the phone too much right now." Jenny apologized that this was indeed what she really thought, and that she was not averse to talking to Chris about it—but they were staying in a hotel that was cleaned every day, and after repeated phone recording leaks (whether she had someone leak it or someone else eavesdropping on her), she did have some wariness and sensitivity to phone calls, emails, and even public interviews, and there were fewer and fewer places in the world where she could feel completely safe and relaxed. "So...... Yes, let's not talk about those details. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about the details." Chris was still able to be quite mature when it mattered, saying, "Don't talk about the details...... I think you already have a public schedule, don't you? Cesare liked to have a schedule for everything. ”

"Yes." Knowing his intention to liven things up, Jenny couldn't help but laugh because Cwas always so fond of making fun of Cesare. "There's a schedule, so if you want to get some exposure, we can be merciful and have you make a cameo or two on this form."

"Oh, you." Chris cursed and chuckled, but he didn't seem to want to give up on the discussion - his and Jenny's attempts to liven up the atmosphere had failed, and the faint tension had not gone away.

The laughter fell silent for a while, and Jenny wanted to tell another joke, but she rummaged through her reserves and couldn't figure out which joke was appropriate, and while she was still picking and picking through the material, Chris spoke.

"So, there will indeed be a wedding."

"Yes, there should be a wedding." Jenny said she tried to joke, "If you want to attend, you've got to give a big gift." ”

But Chris ignored her words, and still asked to himself, "So, what do you think...... Do you think it's worth it? Jen, you're not the same person you were dating Josh then, and now—now, do you still think it's worth it? ”

Although limited to Jenny's concerns, his tone was a little vague, but Chris's meaning was conveyed very clearly, his voice sounded so sincere, so regretful, this sincere concern was like a hug, and it was this kind of tenderness that Jenny could not bear, she could accept the hidden malice called concern, but also accept Lillian's helpless sigh ("Jane, I know I can never approve of your Beverly Hills business, but, As long as you understand what you're doing, I'm sure I'll support you""), but it was Chris's gentle regret that she couldn't accept, and his words were like a gust of wind, blowing straight into her heart, sweeping away all her sense of accomplishment and self-confidence, and making her suddenly feel that she had failed in life.

Resisting the urge to take the phone away, she forced a smile, to be honest, Jenny wanted to escape from the topic at this moment - if she could, she would, but she seemed to be trapped by the friendly and warm phone call, so she couldn't answer Chris's question without telling the truth, "Even now, I have some things that I want but can't get, Chris, in order to get these things, to make up for the mistakes of the past, we ......"

She couldn't help but sigh, "We always have to pay some price. ”

Chris remained sympathetically silent, and after a moment, he whispered, "But, you already have a lot of ......"

"And all of this still doesn't satisfy me." Jenny exclaimed, now feeling a kind of broken jar and broken calm, "yes, it still doesn't satisfy me, Chris, that's my choice-I know there may be many other ways, but this path is the best in all respects-"

"What's best for what?" Chris asked, "To you?" To Cesare? To the public-"

"Yes," Jenny interrupted Chris halfway through, "it's best for it, and of course, it's best for my CEO - and that's the most important thing, and that's the best ...... for me."

She paused, then determined, "This is what's best for me." ”

Chris was silent for a while, the atmosphere on both ends of the phone was so thick that it was almost impossible to pull, Jenny felt her heart pounding, she was a little out of breath, she suddenly felt that she needed Maggie very much, her psychiatric clinic was a safe place for her - what would Maggie say? Once again, she's putting a stressor on herself, and this time she's going to deceive the world, deceiving them on the things that matter most to everyone. Maybe Maggie will be disappointed in her too, just like Chris now, she already has so much, why is she not satisfied, why do you still do this?

"You know." Chris said his voice was heavy, even as he tried to take it easy. "After we broke up, people always said I didn't deserve you, and I've heard this a lot lately - especially after your three movies this year, they said that you have surpassed me in wealth, and of course your career, your Oscars, and even your love history—"

He seemed to be trying to make a joke, but it failed, and the faint sadness and sympathy in his voice ruined everything, "They say that even to me, you are still unattainable, a star, but Jenny, when I look at the stars, I always think of that sentence in the movie, Sybil said to Colin, 'She looks so good, but you often can't help but feel sorry for her'......"

“…… Why. Jenny couldn't help but ask, this is Colin's line in "Monroe" - Colin couldn't understand Sybil's words at the time, "Why do you feel sorry for me?" ”

Chris didn't continue to recite the lines, he said in a low voice, "Because I know you're reluctant to make that choice, I know you, J.J., and I know you've never been as strong as you say - in fact you still care a lot." ”

Jenny took a deep breath, feeling the heavy emotions overflowing in her chest, but strangely, she was not sad, but had a faint sense of relief - she had not talked to anyone about her feelings about this matter, Cesare was not the right person to do so, even the slightest hesitation about him was tantamount to adding guilt and moral burden to him, and she didn't want to talk too much to Lillian, her identity was a little awkward, as for Jim and Mary, Jenny didn't know, maybe she just didn't have time, Maybe it's just that she's no longer used to opening herself up at all times. The sharp concern from Chris made her more or less relieved, a lot more relaxed, and she got rid of the overwhelm just now.

"Maybe I do," she laughed, using a light-hearted tone of joke and self-deprecation, "but I'm going to make that choice in the end, Chris, and that's why I'm still a star to you—that's the difference between you and me, and that's the right thing about our breakup, isn't it?" I think I'm so good that I'm far ahead of you. ”

Chris didn't go any further and laughed at her words, "Yes, so you chose a better man than me, right?" - But I find it strange that I thought you were more of the type of low-key marriage -- and it was better to get divorced as low-key, and no one knew about it from beginning to end. ”

"We started thinking," Jenny said helplessly, "but you know that the marriage permit has to be obtained in person, not by someone else, so we contacted the county attorney's office, and Cesare's mom and the prosecutor are friends -- we wanted to ask him to talk about it and keep it low-key, but no one expected that it would go wrong at the first hurdle, and listen to me, Chris, if you want to get married secretly in the future, you may have to go overseas for the wedding." But even so, it is still impossible for no one to know about it, as long as you want to get married legally, really, this matter will definitely be known. ”

Chris laughed, "Believe me, if there is such a day, I will never be low-key-"

His tone became triumphant again, "Speaking of which, did you see the picture of me and Mir?" Aren't we the most compatible couple? Guess how much your wedding photos would fetch if I brought her to your wedding - but then again, would you ever have a wedding? Will this wedding be the wedding of the century? ”

"Of course, the more personal the better." Jenny said angrily, "The wedding is at the woman's expense, and I'm going to buy a house now—imagine how poor I will be now?" So don't want to be invited, this wedding is for family and friends only. ”

She couldn't help but compliment Chris, "By the way, have you and Mir been dating for half a year?" She looks like a good girl—"

"Yes, you should be completely proud of me when I feel sorry for you," Chris exaggerated, "I'm fully ready for a relationship, dear J.J., and losing me will be your loss......"

#

It's always a little apprehensive to contact her ex-boyfriend again, some people will become old friends, some will always be embarrassed, and Chris and she are very lucky to belong to the former - Jenny also has a sense of happiness when she puts down the phone: if Chris is unforgettable with her old love or something, she will definitely feel more guilty, fortunately, her charm is not so great, Chris and his current girlfriend have been dating for half a year now, and the relationship is still very sweet, although he is still a little naïve, but he does grow up quickly, if Jenny has this qualificationShe would indeed be as proud of him as Chris said.

The phone call between her and Chris lasted for more than an hour, and the two sides were gossiping all over the world, and also exchanged some gossip with their peers, including some actors that Chris knew - and Jenny's competitors, the reaction to this news, maybe I didn't expect the two of them to have a chance to confess, some actors behaved quite duplicitously in front of Jenny and Chris, and it has always been fun to talk about this kind of thing, both men and women, it was simply not enough to talk about it, until Jenny's mobile phone was turned off directly, It was only after cutting off the seemingly endless phone call, and after hanging up, Jenny began to feel tiredness welling up - looking out the window, it was already dusk, she didn't do anything, just said the day's call.

After rubbing her face and washing up, Jenny pushed open the door of the suite and entered the reception area, intending to gather the people to order dinner together - today will definitely not end there, after the phone frenzy is over, they will have to have a meeting to analyze how much impact last night's sentence has, so as to decide on some strategies for the future, so don't think that it will be okay after the call, the real hard bones are still to come.

"Ah, you're done too?" Seeing Cesare standing in front of the Xiaoice box to get water, Jenny greeted, "By the way, help me send a text message to Chris and tell him that the phone is out of battery, and that I am going to eat, and we will talk next time." ”

Cesare nodded in response as he drank water, he also looked a little haggard, and while texting, he raised his head, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and his fingers texted while drinking a bottle of water in one go, "You're done with your phone too?" ”

"I've been here for almost everybody," said Jenny, who was so thirsty that she unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and filled half a bottle before saying, "What about you?" - What about Judy? ”

"Almost." Cesare said, "Judy, they went out to dinner first, and by the way, they talked to the media downstairs." ”

Jenny flashed to the window and looked at it, and couldn't help but sigh: The presidential suite is on the top floor, of course the media didn't want to take pictures, but even so, the □□ cannons gathered downstairs are not trivial, and Jenny even seems to have seen several live broadcast cars parked on the side of the road.

"Well, I don't think I need to ask why you didn't go out - it looks like it's room service night again," she lowered the curtains and turned back, "Is there anything particularly noticeable on your phone today?" What has been the reaction of the media? Should the plan be adjusted, or should it go as planned? ”

Cesare did know Cesare very well, and Cesare liked to have a timetable for everything, and this one was no exception. According to previous estimates, after last night's hints, the media should quickly notice the relationship between the two of them, at this time, Cesare's previous many nights' foreshadowing will naturally be excavated by those paparazzi with great powers, which is equivalent to naturally blowing the wind outward, if the public reaction will not be too negative, the next first public appearance together, including the first time to hold hands, the final affirmation of the relationship after the Oscars, and the arrangement of the wedding, there is a timetable, and it will also fit Jenny's career process - since it is high-profile, It would have to be high-profile, since after the Oscars, superhero films would gradually be in production, and Cesare planned to use the scandal and wedding to save the film a lot of money for publicity, and even if Jenny wanted to, he planned to have a slightly larger wedding - and then sell exclusive wedding photos to make money back for the two of them......

For now, Jenny's acceptance is not high enough to sell wedding photos and hold the wedding of the century, but she is not sure what she will think about it then. In Hollywood, you never know if your plan will be carried out to the end, there are so many factors that you can't control, like last night's hint, she and Cesare originally thought that the masses would only be slightly suspicious, but now the world seems to think that she has fallen in love with Cesare - the public reaction is as unpredictable and decisive as the box office.

"Most of the calls are for the side knocking and probing about marriage rumors," Cesare's eyebrows furrowed slightly, leaning against the long cabinet next to the Xiaoice box, forming an angle with Jenny, who was leaning on the back of the sofa, stretching his long legs, "Our equity issue is spreading a little more widely than I expected...... As for the media, the response was unexpectedly enthusiastic, but they hadn't heard of it yet, or even if they did, they didn't care -- they wanted to take some photos that really attracted clicks rather than such rumors, which were destined to have no real evidence, and there were no less than 10 media outlets that directly bid for me today, and the prices offered were all very good. ”

The former raised Jenny's eyebrows, but the latter gave her a relieved glance to Cesare: needless to say, her high-profile strategy had worked. Just like Cesare said, almost every marriage in Hollywood has people who question whether it is a fake marriage, in fact, there are also a considerable number of marriages with impure purposes, and the media is actually numb to these, after all, no matter what you say, this kind of thing can rarely be proved with real evidence, and when there is no evidence, breaking this kind of news is actually hurting its own credibility, so the media with a little style will not listen to the wind or rain, this is a choice for their own interests.

Of course, if the news of this fake marriage is delivered together with the proof that they have been secretly married, then, with the explosive news of secret marriage, with the sale of 'this marriage is a fake marriage', it will not only cause imprints on readers, make them suspicious and curious, but also be beneficial to the media, because there are more stories, and it is more conducive to selling magazines and winning clicks, so knowing that someone is targeting, secret marriage is equivalent to waiting for others to pronounce on you, and announce it in a high-profile manner. On the contrary, it can be exchanged for the initiative of public opinion - Jenny is so bold as the Golden Globe Awards (although she thinks it is a hint, but it seems that everyone feels that it is an explicit), isn't this telling everyone that she wants to make her relationship public? In this case, it is common to cooperate with posing for some couple photos, and who gets the first batch of posing is very important for the media, and they can pay a lot of bargaining chips for this, not to mention helping Jenny to promote her Oscar together, even if Jenny asks these magazines to change their political stance and support the Republican side, someone may agree. And this reaction is exactly what she and Cesare are happy to see, otherwise, why would she come to the Golden Globe Awards? That's what I want.

"Very good." She said, biting her lip lightly and thinking, "The next time I have to go out is in five days, right?" I remember there was a drinking party -- then we still have four days to bargain, and it would be better to contact Harvey and see if there is any unfavorable feedback from the Olympic judges, if not, we can pose for a photo that morning or the night before, and then we can go to the reception together in the evening, so that the one with the highest bid can get the exclusive, and the other company can get the drinking party photo, and everyone can be satisfied. ”

"If there's no objection on the Awards, I'd like to choose The Hollywood Reporter as an exclusive, so that we can exchange headlines for next week, and the subject matter is, of course, to continue to analyze the way out of the Oscars, and point out that the Oscars should reward a combination of commercial and artistic work -- Harvey's set." Cesare seemed to be on the same page as her, saying, "Oh, and the Golden Globe ratings—"

"- What are the ratings of the Golden Globes?" Jeanne asked curiously, but Cesare suddenly straightened up, pulled his phone out of his pocket, and made a gesture to her.

"Harvey," he said hurriedly, then picked up the phone, "Good evening, Harvey—"

Harvey seemed to speak quickly and quickly on the other side of the earpiece, completely blocking Cesare's greeting, and he could only say 'um' and 'um' every now and then to indicate that he was listening.

- Jeanne looked at him curiously, but Cesare's expression quickly became serious, and he walked to the window as he listened, as if seeking a quiet environment, "Really?" Are you sure? ”

Harvey's emotions were visibly agitated, and he said a long list of words that Jenny could almost hear him shouting on the other end of the phone, but she couldn't make out what he was saying. Cesare's voice was more self-contained and cautious than usual, "I see...... Yes, I understand...... Yes, her phone is dead, but she's right next to me, are you going to talk to her...... Okay, I understand...... I'll call you later. ”

By the time he mentioned himself, Jeanne had quickly approached Cesare, admitting that she was still curious about Harvey's phone call - what was it that made Harvey so excited? Whether it's good or bad, she wants to know right away.

&nb？ As soon as Cesare hung up, she couldn't wait to ask - even though she knew Cesare's habits, but when he didn't answer her right away, but closed his eyes and began to ponder, Jeanne still felt a rush of impatience that made her almost tempted to kick her own CEO.

Cesare was still unusually calm, but in Jeanne's opinion, it should have taken him by surprise, which was why he was so reserved—because he didn't know what to do to react to it, so he simply didn't say anything—and this made her even more anxious, and even more afraid of something bad. She raised her voice, "? ”

"It was Harvey's call." Cesare said that he was looking at Jenny with an unfamiliar expression that made it harder for her to make a prediction, and even his tone was a little strange, "But, it's not so much that he was talking, but rather that the Academy was borrowing his mouth and calling us—or, to put it more bluntly, that phone call, Jenny, should be the ...... Oscar and you."
