63 "Chicago Premiere"

"Where's the dress?" Judy flipped her wrist and looked at her watch, restlessly walking around the dressing room, "I'm going to see my dress in five minutes!" ”

"Still on the way. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test "Mary nervously rushed over to open the makeup case, "Found it, the highlighter powder is here." ”

"No, this wasn't the effect of the last makeup try, don't use muf (makeupforever) highlighter," Judy immediately forgot about the dress and hurriedly walked over to interfere with the makeup, "Julian, I just spent $3o on this - can you think of it?" MUF's highlight powder was simply terrible under the flash, the powder marks were completely impossible to hide, and Drew went crazy when he saw the photo. ”

"Whaaatβ€”" the make-up artist covered her mouth dramatically, her fingernails glistening in the light, "Judy, you didn't talk about it before. ”

Judy shook her shoulders angrily, "You've got 2o minutes left, Julian, move, move, move!" ”

Julian had no choice but to clasp the bottom-up highlighter compact in his hand and knock it a few times, "Come on, honey, face up-"

It may be a bit unfair to say, in the Hollywood entertainment industry, patriarchy is already a default social atmosphere, even the stylist industry, most of the top market are men, the chain of contempt in this industry is gay-female-straight men, this atmosphere can also be said to be inherited from the fashion circle, because today's fashion industry is almost the world of gay designers.

The makeup artists Jenny worked with on the set were all women, but the top stylist that Judy brought to her was a gay guy with a rather feminine behavior, and his reaction to gossip was completely feminine. Barrymore's gossip. "You're talking about the Armani dinner last month, Judy dear, I remember it was Williams who did Drew that night? Don't tell me it's Drew's makeup that went wrong on his hands? ”

"No, it's not." Judy jerked her keyboard in frustration, "**, I'm afraid we're really too late, Catherine has already left the hotel. ”

"Judy," Jenny felt the need to stabilize Judy's mood, "the premiere didn't officially start until an hour laterβ€”"

β€œshh!” Judy and Julian murder her.

"It's not that you're not welcome to join in the conversation, my dear, but you'd better not talk for now," Julian, a 'sweet girl', quickly bent β–‘ to reassure Jenny. "It's hard to deal with a crooked highlighter, and now, close your eyes and I'll see how we look."

Jenny had to close her eyes and try to stay as still as possible so that the hairstylist behind her could style her and Julian paint her face. Rarely did she feel so deeply that she was just a product on the assembly line of star-making - although it was Jennifer who was famous. Jefferson, but she's really just a producer behind the trademark, and now it's Judy and her team who are responsible for all the production work, and Jenny only needs to receive professional services, and the right to speak is close to zero.

"Very well, now I'll have one more layer, and your face will be perfectly symmetrical," Julian's hand kept flicking quickly across her face, and his tone was steady all the time, "before the dress arrives, add another layer of mascara, and mascara is never too much." ”

He continued to gossip with Judy as he worked, "So, continue the topic of Williams, how did he mess up Drew's makeup?" Tell me, dear Judy. ”

"Okay, okay." Judy was frantically pressing the buttons on her BlackBerry, "Do you know about MUF's new highlighter?" The star of the season? ”

"Huh?" Julian lifted Jenny's face, "Open your eyes and look up." ”

"It turns out that this highlighter powder is a disaster under the flash, and the photojournalist of the People family used a new camera from Canon, and in the flash he captured Drew's pink marks clearly, and Drew cried when he saw it, poor girl, you know, since she c1ean, it's easy to break down emotionally - thank goodness, it's People, not some freelance photographer desperate for money, and we spent 300,000 and an exclusive interview to finally solve this problem. But poor Williams lost another client, and Drew couldn't have worked with him anymore. ”

β€œgeez。” Julian's exclamation was full of schadenfreude.

"Julian?" Judy paused and pointed to the makeup artist, "You know this is valuable news, right?" ”

"Of course, my dear, I understand that there's no reason to just let you spend this unjust money, do you?" Julian immediately made a reassurance, and he left Jenny's face, "Give me the ironer, get the watering can ready, no, I want that can of watery from L'OrΓ©al, for God's sake!" That's on the penultimate floor. ”

With Cesare's intervention, it wasn't too difficult to change the shooting schedule, but he didn't change Jenny's shooting schedule on a large scale, just borrowed Johnny for her. Depp's private jet, Jenny was still filming at the base five hours ago, and landed in LAX three hours ago, and the footage of stepping down from Depp's plane was also photographed by the paparazzi who came to hear the wind at some point. However, for Judy, more than two hours of makeup time is obviously not long enough, especially since she changed the brand of the borrowed dress this morning, and now the new dress is still on the way, which makes her even more nervous. Although she is the top HR in the industry, she is still a little cute nervous at the premiere of "Chicago". In order to cater to her nervousness, Julian scolded the assistant for his words, but Jenny could feel that his makeup was still very slow and very careful, and he was not at all sloppy and sloppy because of Judy's impatience.

"The dress has arrived!" Judy jerked up from the couch and shouted, "Julian? ”

"She's yours." Julian stepped back and put the light on Jenny's face, "Ta-D, dear, you're simply my most perfect piece. ”

Jenny looked at herself in a few glasses, but there was no too amazing feeling, in fact, in order to make the photos and videos have a makeup feel, the makeup of the real person must be super thick, and it is not natural to the naked eye, this 3D to 2D makeup loss phenomenon is also known as "the lens eats makeup", like the "when she appears, the whole audience shines, the photo is published, and the whole world is upside down" - this kind of thing is actually unlikely, when you come to the major award ceremonies in person, when you observe these stars with the naked eye, More of a feeling may be the distorted fake faces, coupled with overly slender arms and legs, and unusual clothing (especially musical ceremonies), which can sometimes make people feel that they have left the world and arrived in an alien world, because 'nature in the lens' = 'unnaturalness in the lens'.

"The dress is coming, the dress is coming." Judy's assistant Nissa rushed into the hotel room holding a small gown aloft, "Get out of the way, everyone!" ”

The whole team tacitly dodged a passage for Nissa to bring the dress into the bedroom, Judy quickly followed, and soon the sound of curtains being drawn could be heard in the back room, Julian bent down to pull a few pairs of shoes from the suitcase, and his assistant picked up a bunch of accessories. "Come on, dear, it's time to get dressed."

Jenny didn't expect that the first time she was naked with someone else after being reborn (or rather that she was naked alone) was on such an occasion, with Julian's help, she took off the short bathrobe she was wearing before, and her thin and slender body suddenly appeared in front of the team members without hindrance.

Without the slightest hesitation, Julian pinched one side of her chest with one hand. In general, you can't wear a bra in a dress, and even an invisible nu-bra is forbidden because it will destroy the line of the dress. Of course, within. The pants must also be replaced with a thong, and if it is a more close-fitting dress, you can only choose not to wear it.

Jenny's gown was not too tight-fitting yet, and with the help of a few people, she held her head high to complete the change, the assistant bent down to put on her high heels, and Julian began to base her body on the upper torso and highlight: if she applied foundation before wearing the dress, it was easy to stain the clothes, and if she couldn't dry clean it, Jenny would probably have to pay for the expensive dress.

"Get your hair right." Jenny was constantly being ordered by various people, "Lift your feet, darling." ”

Five minutes later, Julian brought in a hair dryer and gave her the final haircut, and Judy read the text message and began the countdown. "Julian, you only have two minutes left to get the limousine out - Catherine is at the venue - Renee has been in the car for ten minutes - what about Richard? Great, Richard is still at the hotel, ok, the limousine has arrived, 3, 2, 1, Jennifer, let's go into the elevator. ”

Jenny yelled, "Wait, wait, there's a shoe missing!" ”

As Judy counts the seconds, Julian ties Jenny and brings her makeup bag, and a group of people hugs Jenny out of the room, and Mary is already waiting in the elevator. Surrounded by the crowd, she made her way into the extended Lincoln limousine. Mary, Julian, and Judy got into the car from the other side.

"Listen, dear, you really need a manager." Judy blinked quickly from her eyelashes as she complained, "Half of what I'm doing today is probably what your manager is doing - aside, I've seen your 'CSI', Cesare told me how successful your 'Chicago' is, and I need you to show you how good you were when you were on the show tonight, you know?" Of course, you're usually very likable, quiet, sane and elegant, and I could have been boasting for more than half an hour in a row, but now I'm going to see a rock star, Jennifer, yougetit? It took a lot of effort to get you right behind Renee, and you know why? ”

"Because 'ourroxybetter'." Jenny unfolded the mechanical recitation.

"Ye, you're better, youcanitbetterthanher," Judy clenched her hands into fists and made a powerful gesture, "Tonight, we've got some of the most famous drama critics on the East Coast for the premiere, and tomorrow in their columns, I'd like to see them admit that our Locke is better, Jenny, understand?" From the red carpet onwards, I want you to let everyone know that you're a better fit for Lockhee, and I want you to make Rob regret that he didn't ask you to play Lockhee. Tell me you can do it. ”

Jenny thinks that if Judy doesn't do HR, she should be able to be a very successful Amway lecturer, even if she is not that kind of hot-blooded personality at all, she was almost said by Judy to be enthusiastic. "Trust me, I can do it."

It may be that her tone is too calm, Judy, Julian, and Mary all look at her with a look of distrust, and Jenny is a little speechless by them, "Why, don't you believe me?" ”

Judy said, "Oh, of course we ...... Well, of course we believe you, don't we, Julian? ”

Her tone was too hypocritical, Jenny couldn't help but laugh when she looked at her dull expression, even Judy was amused by herself, Julian and Mary were amused by this faint and ridiculous joy and chuckled, but Julian was the first to control himself, he took a small comb from his body pocket and picked out a lock of hair for Jenny.

"We're here." Judy quickly regained her composure, she looked out the window, and the anxiety in her tone returned, "Remember, my dear, don't let up in front of the flash. You can't afford to buy out the photos right now. ”

"OK, OK, I understand." As the theater's signboard drew closer, Jenny heard the voices of the crowd, took a deep breath, dived into the performance space, and expertly opened the golden finger.

Almost instantly, the superstar's life experience flowed through her mind, and the dark windows in front of her seemed to become the transparent panes of vintage cars, and the screaming spectators and the desperately crowded photojournalists seemed to be completely indistinguishable from decades before and after......

The car stopped, Jennifer. Jefferson smiled lazily as she confidently looked at her Vanity Fair and glanced at her anxious subordinates.

"It's showtime." She said.

The door opened, and the earth-shattering screams reached the eardrums, and Jennifer smiled at the staff, took his hand, and got out of the limousine in a well-trained, flawless manner.

"She's so beautiful beyond imagination!" Jon stood on her tiptoes and raised her voice to yell at Harry behind her, but she certainly didn't turn her head because she couldn't stare at Jenny. β€œohgod! she’sgeous! Oh my God, oh my God! ”

You can often go to musicals, and it's a good location, Jon and Harry's family background is actually not bad, Jon got tickets for the New York premiere of "Chicago", but after hearing that the Los Angeles premiere was November 3, she and Harry both moved the idea of watching the Los Angeles premiere, because October 31 is Halloween, and the whole weekend is filled with a joyful atmosphere, plus Harry also has relatives in Los Angeles, as Jon got tickets for the New York premiere, Harry is willing to bear the food and lodging during her time in Los Angeles, Jon grinded his mother for a while, and finally got her to agree to go out for a weekend - the two little star chasers were also quite desperate to see their idols, and after the premiere at about nine o'clock in the evening, they would take a red-eye flight back to New York to continue their classes.

But it's all worth it, Jon often waits for Jennifer to come out at the back door of the Schubert Theater to sign autographs, although Jennifer in reality is also very good-looking, but without the lighting effects on the stage, she always seems very quiet in reality, and a little thin, not so radiant and eye-catching, which makes Jon always feel lost after waiting.

But now, Jennifer has fully fulfilled the fantasy in her head - not bad at all, Jennifer in her heart is like that, and it should be!

From the moment she stepped out of the car door, Jennifer was drowned in a sea of flashing lights, but in the face of the bright light that can blind people, her smile did not lose the slightest color, nor did she see the slightest reluctance, although she simply walked across the red carpet with her handbag, but between her eyebrows, the indescribable calm and domineering made her successfully calm the audience, just like - as if the whole audience was her admirer, her every gesture looked graceful and generous, elegant and sexy, even if she stopped to sign for the fans, After completing the complex movements of bending over and handing the pen, his demeanor is also flawless. It is even difficult to describe where her beauty is, her beauty is really a very overall impression, whether it is sparkling blonde hair, picturesque eyebrows, generous and calm manners, or very ethereal and very real temperament, they are all organic components of this charm, but the charm of all these components far exceeds the simple sum of these elements.

"Jennifer! Jennifer! Although he had always been determined to maintain basic politeness, Jon couldn't help but exclaim, "Do you remember me, Jennifer!" as Jenny passed by her! ”

In the bright light, Jennifer's face seemed to sparkle, she was as beautiful as an angel far away from the world - in Jon's eyes, she was even more beautiful than angels, she didn't even know if Jennifer could hear herself, although they were very close, Jennifer walking in the spotlight did not seem to be in the same space as her.

But, with her words, the 'angel' stopped. The delicate and beautiful face turned to her, and Jon felt his heart beat faster, faster, faster, and in the midst of great excitement and tension, she could barely hear the angel's words, "sure, your name is - Jon, right?" Ah, you're with Harry. ”

She smiled, a very kind, a little slyβ€”a private one, "Kids, I remember you lived in New York. ”

"We're here to see you!" Jon had completely forgotten that Jennifer was four or five years older than her, and she was so excited that she just wanted to scream, "Jennifer, you're so beautiful tonight!" ”

"Thank you." Jennifer approached her, "Do you have a cameraβ€”hey, honey, can you take a picture of us?" ”

"Of course." The official photographer who had been following them motioned to Jon, "Stand on your tiptoes, dear, try to stand on your tiptoes." ”

Jon didn't know what she was doing, and she didn't believe she had been lucky until Jennifer was far away. "Oh my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Harry, oh my God! ”

Harry didn't answer her right away, and Jon turned his head to find that his friend, who had been clamoring to quit fandom, was in tears of emotion and was covering his mouth to calm down.

She ignored the envious and jealous inquiries and jokes around her ('You're lucky', 'Who's that girl, she's so beautiful'), and instead leaned into Harry's hugs. "God, Harry!"

"I know, I know." Harry said in a thick nasal voice, "Good thing we're in Los Angeles!" ”

The next moment, Jon immediately bounced out of his arms again. "Hey! We should leave an email address for the photographer, otherwise how can we get the photos? ”

Excitedly pulling Harry around the venue, Jon felt that tonight was her night entirely, and it wasn't until she entered the theater that her heartbeat slowly calmed down and was replaced by another nervous mood. -- It's already November, and the slogan 'ourroxybetter' has appeared on Broadway again. As a new lifelong fan of Jennifer, Jon hopes that Jennifer's big-screen debut will be an excellent movie on the one hand, but on the other hand, he is also very anxious, afraid of Renee. Zellweger's performance was so brilliant that the slogan ended up smashing Jenny's foot and becoming her laughing stock.

Although others did not show the same enthusiasm as her, Jon was not the only one who was worried about the same thing - Brantley and Patrick also left the New York base camp this time and crossed over to Los Angeles to attend the movie premiere. Whether Jefferson can live up to her advertising slogan.

"She's very beautiful tonight." Brantley was already an adult, and it was impossible to be as captivated as Jon was speechless, but he couldn't help but admit that when Jennifer was dressed in a rhinestone gown. Jefferson's heart did stop beating when he approached him, "I won't deny that she is far more dazzling than Renee in appearance, but Renee is a rare talented actress in many years, can Jennifer beat her?" I think it's still an unknown. ”

"I think Renee is very confident in her performance." Patrick's performance was more revealing than Brantley's. "You can tell from her expression that she is very satisfied." ”

Brantley let out a muffled snort, "That's because she hasn't been to the Broadway show." ”

Although he had to struggle a bit between Broadway traditional culture and the Airborne Forces to choose an objective position, now that it was a contest between the two forms of film and musical, Brantley had chosen his side with a sigh of indignation, "That's the weakness of musicals, even if Jennifer wins, you'll never be able to prove it to the masses, and most viewers of the Chicago movie simply won't see Jennifer's performance." ”

Not far from them, fashion columnist Esther was muttering to her friend, "...... Valentino Dress...... I can't help but say that Renee didn't hold her position tonight, she disappointed me, she was wearing only caro1inaherrera......"

- Although she is not a musical theater insider, with her talent for gossip in the fashion industry, Esther has heard about the Roxy controversy, and she has conceived a wonderful article before coming to the premiere, but Renee is disappointed by her performance. "This is all blatant unilateral humiliation, and Renee should fire her PR."

They were all very happy with Jenny's Valentino rhinestone dress tonight.

In the front row, Jenny had already found her place, which actually took a lot of effort - unless she wanted to die, she would never sit next to Renee, and Dietrich was not in the picture, Jenny was wearing an expensive little dress tonight, and she had no intention of taking any risks.

Plus Richard. Kiel has a strong ** tendency, and although Jenny is not a patriotic fanatic, she doesn't have a good opinion of him, and sitting next to him can become very tormenting. Jenny easily found one close to Catherine. Zeta-Jones' empty slots, centered in the first row for the director and lead actors, are labeled so she can avoid the minefield by name.

"Hopefully I'll be worthy of Lucy," she thought, "and certainly worthy of all of today's spending." ”

Although the dress is borrowed, and the private jet does not have to pay rent, but the fuel money cannot be paid by Depp, and the honorarium of Julian's team and the rent of the hotel and limousine are not small, Jenny does not need to ask to know that her 3o million salary is estimated to be not much, all of this is to gather as many eyeballs as possible to her, if her 'Kitty' performance fails, all the money will undoubtedly be wasted, only Kitty is good enough to make everyone interested in the Roxy controversy, and there will be follow-up reports.

Of course, if Kitty behaves abnormally, she is also sorry for Lucy Liu, who was supposed to have this role before. Jenny stared at the dark screen, also very curious, "What will Rob cut my performance to?" ”

Her performance material lasted for hours, and even Jenny herself didn't know what Rob would have edited this version of Chicago and 'Kitty' into, and she, like Jon, Harry, and Brantley, was the purest audience of the world, just waiting for the premiere of the film to develop their impression of the film version.

The audience took their seats, the crew came to the first row, and the director Rob gave a brief speech, and then, the screen lit up, and the silhouette of a tall building appeared in the night sky - this is the opening animation of Miramax.

In everyone's different expectations, the movie version of "Chicago" began.
