"Is this true?" Mary kept asking, "Is there really such a thing?" Oh, I envy you so much, Jane, why didn't I go with you last night? ”

"Is this the point of discussion now?" Jenny rolled her eyes at her, "Why did you go on a date with Nicholas last night?" ”

She wiped the sweat running down her face and threw the towel on the washstand, "What is the reaction of the Internet and the media?" ”

Of course, there has been a lot of discussion, but there are no videos or photos to back it up, and the public currently thinks it's just a rumor. M.LWxS520.com Mobile," Mary regained her professional attitude, "but, seriously, Jenny—is this true?" Or is it just another boring rumor? You're really with Leonardo-"

She made a gesture representing a kiss, "Oh, I'm so jealous of you—"

In Jenny's eyes, she said wittily back to business, "By the way, Bell has called several times, and she seems to be in a hurry to explain to you, but you are exercising in the morning, so I picked it up for you and said that you are in a meeting." ”

"Well done." Jenny pointed at her, "That would be a good excuse to get rid of Bell." ”

"So, it's true?" Mary turned on the bathtub switch for Jenny, and the hot water flowed into the jacuzzi, "You and Leo, at Bell's-"

"We just talked." Jenny said as she did her morning routine, "There's nothing to be said about it, and from that point of view, the news released by Hilton can't be said to be wrong - we did disappear for most of the hour, leaving everyone behind and hiding alone in the backyard until we were discovered by the guests." But it also confirmed my suspicion that a few of the Bell guests had been bought by Hilton - either they really didn't like me. ”

"It's not unusual." Mary snorted, "With your momentum in Hollywood this year, it's strange that people don't hate you." Cesare wasn't very pleased, though—he had just called to ask about the situation. ”

Jenny sighed: "I find it really hard to be a celebrity in Hollywood. ”

"It's not easy to be a man of the hour at any time." Mary wisely said and took the phone for her. "Call back Chesa?"

Jenny grimaced, but still dialed Cesare's number, "I guess you just called me out of purpose?" ”

"It's good for my mood, but it doesn't seem to solve the problem." Cesare's tone was not very excited, "No, I didn't call you - tell me you didn't hook up with Leo." ”

"Nope." Jenny said, "We spent most of our time talking about 'Avatar,' and Leo was hesitant to star in it and wanted to talk to me. You know, tonight is dinner, we don't have much time, and it's not a good thing to talk about in public. ”

She artistically blurs a lot of drama between Leo and Chris, because Cesare doesn't seem to be a character who is very keen on this kind of gossip, and the friction between the two big stars should have exhausted him before that.

"In Bell's house?" Cesare's voice raised slightly.

"Leo and she were friends, and I had a hard time explaining why I didn't want to talk about it in Bell's house." Jenny couldn't help but sigh, "Can we stop discussing why this is the way this is and focus on what to do?" ”

“…… Reasonable. Cesare seems to be driving," I just contacted Judy and Mary, and the print media expressed some interest in this lace news, but there is no evidence, and the weighty publications will not report it. And online public opinion tends to think that this is a frivolous rumor, because you went to a party last night, and Leo joked with you again at the Golden Globes, it seems that some people are starting to worry about the state of your relationship with Josh, so I don't think we need to do public opinion control yet, just let this news develop. You're already an A-lister, and the occasional lace news doesn't hurt. If there is no news, maybe we will start to worry. ”

"It's about the same as I thought." Jenny said, she couldn't help but laugh dryly, "But it's conceivable that after tonight's dinner date, Leo and I are probably going to have a real scandal - hopefully it won't affect the direction of public opinion after Josh and I announced our breakup." ”

"As long as it is a peaceful breakup, the impact should not be large." Cesare replied, but there was still a hint of caution in his tone, "It's a good reminder, though, that generally celebrities' private parties are considered perfectly safe, so people are pretty relaxed inside, but this tells you, Jefferson—"

"- Be vigilant wherever you are, if it's not in my own room." Jenny rolled her eyes, "Yes, understood. ”

"Jim will pick you up at six o'clock tonight." Cesare said, "Dress up nicely, I need you to shine - hang up." ”

"You don't seem to be very happy." Mary took Jenny's phone and added some bath salts for her, "I thought Chesa meant it wasn't a big deal - and you should be relieved." ”

In the age of the Internet, the time it takes for a news event to be exposed is simply astonishing to everyone. And what kind of feedback this news will bring is also very random, which can be said to be very unpredictable. From Perez. Judging from the time when Hilton released the news, it should have been when Jenny and Leonardo were still talking in the backyard, he received the news, and immediately released it: 'An actress who has been very beautiful recently, threw everyone off at the party, and disappeared in the backyard with her new love who hooked up at the awards ceremony, for more than half an hour, they seem to have been embarrassed for each other. Hint: The actor just recently disengaged and once again. ’

By not naming names, Hilton was free from the risk of being drawn into legal proceedings, and such an obvious insinuation made anyone who cared about gossip instantly guess that it was Jenny and Leonardo. By the time they came out of the party, the news had gotten to the point where someone had come to tell Jim, but last night no one knew what the end up would be, whether the public was convinced of it, accusing Jenny of being sorry for Josh, or just laughing it off as a rumor. According to Jenny at the time, even if there were photos, the matter should not have expanded, because she and Leo were indeed just chatting. But Mary and Jim were still worried, and it was conceivable that they must not have slept well last night, otherwise Mary would not have gotten up earlier than Jenny. - The result should have been satisfactory, but Jenny was not in a good mood, she shook her head, hit the foam on the water, and took the phone back from Mary's hand.

"The most bothersome thing about this whole thing isn't how much damage it ends up doing." "It's that it breaks the rules—it's a private party, Mary, and it's a party like this." Sex, medication, and even strong. Did something happen to those ignorant children? No, they are safe. And I just left with Leonardo to talk - for God's sake, we didn't even hold hands, but what did I get? A piece of lace news, which really makes people feel very unfair. ”

"yes...... Mary elongated her voice sympathetically, "maybe that's the price of popularity, Jane, you've come this far in such a short time, so you must be the special one." ”

"Among this group of celebrities whose life circles are particularly closed, is it the more closed one?" Jenny sighed, "Forget it, don't talk about these frustrating things. Mary, what else is my itinerary for today, other than dinner with James? ”

"You've got acting classes in the morning," said Mary, "and I've got a spa appointment for you in the afternoon, and Julian is going to come over and do your makeup, oh yes, the crew contacted me yesterday, and your scene will probably start filming in a week, and then we'll have to go to South Carolina for a while -- and then your filming will be completely over." ”

"Leave behind the post-dubbing, photographing, and interview work like a mountain." Jenny complained and asked, "Where is my personal phone?" Hasn't it sounded? ”

She changed her mind again, "Forget it, don't look for it, good Mary, go get me some breakfast, I'd like to treat myself to this morning - put a spoonful of maple syrup on my toast, okay...... Dinner tonight is so important that I probably won't make it without a little sugar encouragement......"

#

Yes, today's dinner is indeed very important, and it means a lot to Jenny in particular - in a sense, it will affect the direction of Big Dream for some time to come, because it will determine whether Jenny has a chance to enter Avatar: under the strong matchmaking of Universal and Leonardo's personal friendship offensive, James . Cameron set aside a dinner time from his busy schedule to explain some of their concerns to the two big stars.

"For the script of Avatar, I understand your doubts." Instead of inviting Leo and Jenny to his mansion for dinner, Cameron chose a fancy restaurant in downtown Los Angeles. As soon as the director with a stern and irascible personality opened his mouth, he was working, and it seemed that he did not mean to hide his true colors and enliven the atmosphere, "This is a very simple story, is it old-fashioned?" I think it's a bit old-fashioned. But the story of "Titanic" is just as clichéd, the girl meets the boy, the girl falls in love with the boy, and the girl completes herself through the boy - the focus is always on how you tell the story. ”

In front of this world-class bull, neither Jenny nor Leonardo can control the rhythm of the conversation, and can only follow James. Cameron's train of thought went about in an awkward atmosphere, and in Jenny's opinion, Cameron didn't seem to be in a good mood, and she didn't know if it was for personal reasons or if he was doing something that all geek didn't like right now: explaining to the layman what was so good about his hobby that he was so obsessed with.

"I expected Avatar to tell the story in a very unpretentious way and with very beautiful scenery, so don't expect it to dig into humanity and inspire thought – no, for the audience, they can only process one message at a time. "Avatar" will give them a beautiful spectacle across the ages and make them fascinated, so the story is relatively simple, of course, the biggest question for the actors is always how much room there is for this story. Cameron shrugged, "But that's not my problem, the director only provides the story, and the effect of the character can only be discovered by the actors themselves." For example, when I was working on Terminator, I didn't know that it was going to make the T-800 a sign of the times, and of course I didn't know that it was going to make Arnold governor in the end - that's what it just happened, the characters could be screwed up by the actors, but they might not be, and I can't promise anything right now, except that it would be a cross-generational film - and I don't just talk about the budget. ”

This was the end of his opening remarks, Cameron took a sip of his aperitif, and didn't seem to have much interest in going any further, while Leonardo was still thinking about what he had said, and Jenny was determined to change the mood. She felt that Cameron didn't seem to hate her, and the stiff atmosphere at the moment was just because they weren't very familiar with it - and for her, Cameron's dislike was obviously not enough, and she needed Cameron's strong support to bring money into "Avatar".

"You're talking about 3D and IMAX," she said keenly, she was not so afraid of the white-haired, seemingly gentle and elegant, but extremely strong James, although they had rarely met before, and they were not familiar at all, but this was for James - for Jenny, the result of thousands of previous simulations of "Titanic" was, at least psychologically, that she had no fear and strangeness to James at all. So compared with Leo, who is a little restrained and seems to be more afraid and respectful of James, she is more comfortable with relying on Leo's lubrication. "I noticed that you've been working on 3D-IMAX documentaries for the past few years, and you're an avid supporter of digital technology – I can't help but feel that these documentaries are your homework to master 3D, IMAX, and that Avatar is going to be a VFS-centric film, and you think it's going to open a new page in cinematic history, right, James?"

In Leonardo's incredulous expression, James showed a surprised and happy expression, and his eyes had changed when he looked at Jenny - obviously, Jenny's words really piqued his interest, "yes-yes, if I could shoot "Titanic" digitally in 1997, I would have done it, the era of film is undoubtedly over, I don't know why people are still talking nonsense "film has its texture", "film can never be replaced", think about "Titanic" In the eight years since then, we will know how far digital and special effects have evolved and we will know who will represent the future. ”

Of course, his words have been proven right in 2014, or rather, Cameron used "Avatar" to push it into the mainstream, single-handedly changing the aesthetic orientation of the world's audience. The golden age of special effects spectacle movies brought a second spring to the film industry, withstanding the impact of the surging Internet wave - if it were not for the special effects spectacle, many audiences in 2014 would not necessarily choose the cinema, after all, home televisions are getting bigger and clearer, and the comfort and convenience of watching movies at home can never be matched by the cinema.

But now in 2006, digital can only be said to be one of many waves, film movies still have many supporters, and IMAX and 3D are not concepts that everyone has sought after after 09. In fact, IMAX is still a rare object, and most cities can only have one or two screens, and they are mainly used to screen science and education films, and they have not yet begun to commercialize. "Beowulf" and "Polar Express", with IMAX as the main carrier, have suffered a tragic Waterloo in terms of word-of-mouth and box office, so that the attitude of the current blockbuster studios towards IMAX is very ambiguous, they don't want to be left behind by new technologies, so many blockbusters will have IMAX versions, but this is all late transformation, and Cameron's "Avatar" is the first real IMAX blockbuster, if there is no "Avatar", IMAX may still be a term far from real life in 2014Maybe it will evolve, but certainly at a much slower pace than this reality.

People who can judge the trend of the times before they change are great enough, but even greater people single-handedly reverse the changes of the times, create the trend of the times, and let the times move for him. And just thinking about the opportunity to participate in this because of the time travel, Jenny had a vague sense of excitement that could barely breathe, and she echoed James's statement from the bottom of her heart, "There is no doubt that 3D and IMAX are the future of movies, I mean, now that the TV set is getting bigger and bigger, if we can't make something that can only be seen in the cinema, then the movie is not competitive with the TV series...... From this point of view, IMAX is the vitality of the film. Avatar is destined to be a great film, and I have no doubt that it will probably bring much more to the film industry than the work itself—"

Leo gave her an intriguing look, and Jenny could guess his thoughts: while it was not uncommon for people to flatter Cameron, her sincerity and fanaticism were probably not something that ordinary people could achieve, and Leo was probably surprised now by her smuggling skills and her knowledge of these technological innovations.

In fact, Jenny did work hard, because knowing that "Avatar" would succeed and 3DIMAX would be the final winner was obviously different from knowing what IMAX, 3D, and motion capture really meant, and what the difference was from existing film technology. Most of her free time has been spent on this for a while, of course, there is also the study of Cameron, and the more she studies this project, the more pity she feels - her previous efforts to bring Cameron back to Disney It seems that after all, the previous three IMAX documentaries were all invested by Disney, but perhaps it is the failure of these three films at the box office, Disney has a cold attitude towards "Avatar", a big project that costs 500 million, resulting in Cameron is now in contact with Universal. Even if she suddenly persuaded Iger to invest in this project, according to Cameron's arrogance, he may not be willing to continue to cooperate with Disney.

Of course, it is still unknown who will win "Avatar" after all. If she doesn't shoot, neither Universal nor Fox will definitely agree to be invested by her, even if Disney invests, Big Dream may not be able to get permission to enter the game, after all, up to 500 million investment also means sky-high publicity costs, all kinds of criticism from shareholders, and even a sharp reduction in market value, and the resignation of the CEO - and in this big gamble, even if Big Dream shares 100 million US dollars, it may not reduce much risk for big investors, But if the film is profitable, the money she wants to share is real.

“…… So that's how Simulcam works, and it's interesting that even though it's called a camera system, it really has nothing to do with the camera. The mood of the conversation quickly changed under her magical questions, Cameron had always been known for his self-styled and paranoid silence, and he was by no means the glamorous type in social situations, but now, when it came to the technical details that he had been obsessed with lately, he was completely different, and instead of even enjoying the food, he kept gesturing to explain the inventions that allowed a masterpiece like "Avatar" to really enter the filming process. It's a visual effects system that allows you to intuitively decide from what angles your actors and CG look better together. It's a brand new thing, and we only made it at the end of last year. And this was the best news of last year, in fact, if it had come earlier, many of the scenes in "Ghost of the Abyss" wouldn't have had to be shot so hard. That's what we're talking about, technological innovation is shaping the future of the film industry. ”

It can be seen that Leo has been completely left behind by the dialogue, and Jenny is fascinated, almost adoringly looking at the eloquent Cameron, because she has seen the work of Simulcam - the reason why "Avatar" is refreshing is because for the special effects beauty, Cameron's camera movement is calm and talented, and the characters move naturally in the special effects scene, and the scenery is almost integrated, and finally presents a beautiful visual effect, so that the world is intoxicated by the visual wonders of "Avatar". And Cameron was able to achieve this result not because he was a wizard of green screen shooting, but because he used Simulcam, the result of this technology is that when the actor stands in the open space designated by the studio, the actor's surroundings are empty, but from the monitor, it seems that her special effects image is standing in a virtual landscape, Cameron can very intuitively guide the actor's performance from the monitor, transform' shooting's angle, and this makes the final picture smooth and natural, as if there is really such an alien race at the behest of the shooting.

The reason why this is a great movie is not only because it will end up with a screaming box office, but also because it has revolutionized the way special effects movies are made, Jenny actually didn't understand why "Avatar" was so good in her previous life, she suddenly realized it while listening to Cameron's commentary at this dinner, "I think it contains unlimited business opportunities, of course, you have to make a very expensive sample before selling it to countless sets, but I'm sure, after "Avatar", Simulcam is sure to help bring on a whole new spectacle to special effects films - James, this meal is so refreshing, I feel like you've revolutionized my worldview. ”

Her words were half-true, but the admiration was genuine, and Cameron was so excited that although he didn't take Jenny's hand and shout 'see you late', the change in attitude was still palpable.

"What should I say?" He took a sip of red wine and took Jenny's 'flattery' as it all - it was obvious that James was so confident in himself that he didn't think that "Avatar" might fail. "Well, I have to admit that today's dinner has refreshed my opinion of you. Before tonight, I'm a little hesitant to invite you to play—"

He pointed to Leo who was listening to the side, casually judging this big-name star who had been sitting on the A-list for many years, "Because it's always troublesome to work with big-name stars, just like Leo, when he filmed "Titanic", he was fresh, delicious, brave and fearless, curious and carefree about the world, so he very easily accepted my so-called 'deviant' approach at that time, but now, he is full of doubts about new technology, is walking around in front of a green screen with capture equipment a performance? What is my role? Their minds are full of these, not the movie itself. ”

Leo touched his nose, and Jenny hurriedly glanced at him pleadingly: they were still discussing the possibility of changing the script on the way over, and if possible, Jenny also wanted to seek a few opportunities to appear in real life. Of course, after Cameron's words, neither she nor Leo had any reason to speak.

"To be fair, most actors probably do, but for new actors, the opportunity is precious enough," James continued, "and it's a little easier to work with them — but you're different, Jennifer, I can feel that you're genuinely fascinated by these technological innovations, and you're a technical maniac like me, and I think I'd be very happy to have you on board." ”

Although Universal had already invited Jenny to star before this, this was Cameron's project, and it would be difficult for Universal to stick to his opinion without his approval. Jenny's participation in the Avatar is only now considered to be the real possibility of continuing the follow-up negotiations, Jenny can't help but have a happy look on her face, and Leonardo is also a little thoughtful, "But the problem is, James, you haven't gotten the investment from Universal yet, and we don't even have a complete script yet-"

"We don't have an Oscar either," James glanced at Jenny, "we don't have a full box office that can be guaranteed, and there are a lot of things that should not be available yet, but the biggest technical hurdle has been overcome, and the next thing is to find someone who will pay for it, and if you join in, then I think the money will be there soon." ”

It seems that Leonardo's mind did change after this conversation - James's criticism of him seemed useful, and before that, he was far more apprehensive than interested in Avatar, but now his attitude has been relaxed. He nodded, "I'll think about it, but either way, whether I act or not - it's not because I'm suspicious of new technology, we must agree on that, James, I don't want to get a 'conformist' comment from you." ”

James laughed, "But the truth is, you're just suspicious of this--ok, ok, but I'm not going to make this comment to anyone, is that satisfying enough?" ”

Instead of paying attention to Leonardo, he turned to Jennifer, "Actually, I'd like to invite you to our studio, we've got some of the results of Simulcam and I want you to take a look at it - before showing it to the investors, I should show it to some people who really appreciate it." ”

With Jenny's status today, she will not be despised and treated coldly wherever she goes, and even she believes that before this meal, Cameron must have initially approved the idea of starring her, so that such a meal exists, as long as her performance is not too bad, for the sake of the legend behind the two Oscars, she is very likely to get the position of actress - Cameron is one of the directors who came to see her that night at the Oscars, which is already very revealing.

But she still marked tonight as a success for herself - after all, this is Cameron, the king of the world, the legendary director, the cold-blooded tyrant - and she has seen a very preliminary little possibility: become his friend, get involved in the "Avatar" series, and even go one step further, and let Disney and Big Dream become investors in "Avatar......

Tonight's dinner, she had a good meal, Leo was preoccupied, he was obviously salivating for the 'new technology', but he was worried that more than 90% of the scenes in the script outline were done by simulations, and Cameron was very excited - it is true that he had many supporters, and at least one team was working hard to develop virtual filming techniques because they trusted his judgment, but there were not many supporters like Jenny who had just won two Oscars - especially since she was so fanatical, even Cameron, Of course, there is also his vanity.

"I'll have my assistant get in touch with you. Looking forward to seeing you again, Jennifer. Before getting on the elevator, he said a word to Jenny and nodded to Leonardo, "Leo." ”

"Bye, James." Leo waved at him disapprovingly, and watched as the elevator doors slowly closed, sending Cameron to the top floor, where his helicopter was parked. "I'm sure you had a great meal tonight, didn't you, Jenny?"

"Very pleasant indeed." Jenny also walked into the downward elevator with Leo, "What about you, have you made up your mind?" ”

"I'm still thinking about it, actually, I'd like to go with you to see the effect of the simulcam," Leo touched his nose, "Sure, I know, James didn't invite me, and seeing me get out of the car with you might make a few sarcastic remarks to me - but don't doubt it, that's a sign of affection." ”

"Really?" Jenny laughed and said, "If that's a sign of affection, then what do I get?" ”

"I don't know, hints of a marriage proposal?" Leo said, "Don't doubt it, to the average person, James is only cold and furious—especially to the average actor, I'm already his darling, and you, maybe he fell in love with you at first sight?" ”

He starts laughing at his joke, Jenny gives him a roll of the eye, a 'ding' sound, and the elevator door opens.

'Click, click' camera and human voices came in vaguely through the transparent glass curtain, and Leo let out a low curse, then turned back and made a playful face at Jenny.

"Well, caught again." He said, "Perez. Hilton should be triolated, shouldn't he? We have just proven how accurate his message is. ”

Jenny stared at the paparazzi outside the building and sighed helplessly—Leo had a point, the jubilant paparazzi seemed to have the same word written on their faces, and their distant shutter sound was shouting the word: Click! Gossip! Click! Gossip!

Gossip! Gossip! Gossip!
