Chapter 116
The morning sun pierced through the clouds over Rosaledo, covering the entire azure waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
This small seaside town is peaceful and peaceful, just like the crew of the Titanic, still immersed in the carnival after finishing last night, enjoying the sense of relaxation after the long work is completed.
Leonardo was awakened by the smell of bread and sugar.
He rubbed his eyes first, then looked at the ceiling above his head, and his mind gradually returned to its place after the hangover.
Carnival hot dance party, ambiguous bar lighting, rhythmic music and girls dancing on the bar, and finally started with a kiss, the whole world keeps spinning and changing...
Pressing his forehead hard with the palm of his hand, Leonardo felt the pain in his temple subside slightly.
He lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed, noticing that the brand-new clothes on the bedside table were neatly folded, and the curvature of his lips involuntarily rose a little.
After randomly putting on jeans and a top, Leonardo walked out of the bedroom of the hotel suite, but when he saw the person who was heating food in the microwave, he froze the originally happy expression on that handsome face.
"Jeremy?" he greeted slightly awkwardly. "Hi, good morning, did you see the others?"
"Good morning, Leo." His assistant Jeremy replied hesitantly, "If you mean Josie—"
As he spoke, he glanced at Leonardo in front of him rather complicatedly. The latter was stroking his dazzling blond hair, and his young and handsome face was full of expectation.
He had no choice but to answer as calmly as possible: "She has already returned to Los Angeles, and she will follow to watch Mr. Cameron's clip."
Leonardo was taken aback for a moment, and turned to look at Jeremy's expression, as if trying to find any joking elements from it.
but none--
So, he, the dream of thousands of girls, the newly released Romeo and the popular lover, was abandoned by Josie on the bed because of a bad-tempered and poisonous old man?
is this real?
Oh, just fucking hell!
...
Josie originally wanted to see how James Cameron edited the movie, but she soon discovered that the length of the negatives they brought back was three times that of ordinary movies, about twelve days.
In this way, she may have to stay in the editing room for a long time before she can see the prototype of the movie.
So she resolutely gave up on this plan, and instead drove to Tianji Films in West Hollywood to talk to Archie Dano about the company's progress in recruiting new employees.
By the way, she didn't end up putting money into the Titanic.
Fox rejected her personal investment proposal, followed the trajectory of the original time and space history to win over Paramount to join, and tried to exchange the film's North American distribution rights for a capital injection of 500 million.
But this proposal was resolutely rejected by Shirley Lansing of Paramount. Paramount is one of the few big companies in Hollywood that believes in the star system, and they have little interest in the Titanic, which has few stars. Just a crumbling wreck.
At this time, James Cameron needs a large number of editors beyond expectations to screen negatives and shots. Fox doesn't really want to pay for it, because the damn Titanic has been overrun countless times.
However, according to Frank, in the end, Fox was forced by James Cameron to have no choice but to bite the bullet and get a sum of money from Wall Street, and went back and forth for several days for the release date of the movie.
Well, it seems that she is not officially qualified to play poker.
Josie thought indifferently.
After wandering around in Tianji Films, they agreed to let Arnon Milkan's company enter the "Fight Club" project. In exchange, the other party would help Tianji Films get the script of the female thief.
Then, after having dinner with the employees of the film company, Josie went home and started picking out the Oscar red carpet shirt.
Brittany and Brad got together again, plus Josie's nanny Dorota, assistant Kelly, publicist Eve, manager Martha, and bodyguard and driver Old John, they could have two tables of mahjong.
—By the way, El is on a business trip.
Under the advice of Eve and Martha, Josie chose a beige beaded fringed skirt that belonged to her grandmother, which is obviously a jazzy style.
"Maybe, you should dye your hair back to blond." Martha suggested after looking at her outfit.
"I agree." Eve also said, "Light gold suits you best, and reminds me of fairies."
Josie was noncommittal and just said: "My dear, you may not know that your vocabulary to describe beauties is so blunt and lacking that I have to wonder how you wrote those public relations manuscripts."
"Then next time you can ask Robin to write." Eve shrugged nonchalantly.
Josie glanced at her, and suddenly said, "It depends on which 'Robin' it is."
Eve was subconsciously taken aback, and didn't speak up immediately.
Josie gave her a knowing smile and said: "Send me a bouquet of flowers for 'Robin' and wish him all the best for his Oscar journey, thanks."
"..." Eve rolled her eyes, "Is the red rose okay? It's really interesting for you two to test it out like this."
Josie just smirked, and flicked the fringe on the skirt, her posture was graceful and elegant.
They went downstairs together, and there was an exaggerated exclamation from everyone in the living room, especially Brittany, who was clapping her hands happily until Brad smiled and gave her a hand.
Only then did Brittany remember the "business" and raised her hand to ask, "I have a question, Josie, who will you walk the red carpet with?"
Josie looked suspicious and glanced at Brad.
"I made a bet with Brittany." Brad was very honest, curling his lips and looking at the blonde girl beside him, "The bet is, whoever loses will treat the other party to dinner."
"Then you don't know the answer yet, because we are going to discuss this matter." Eve explained aloud, then sat on the sofa, took out her phone from nowhere and kept pressing it, "Fox originally hoped You're walking tomorrow's Oscars red carpet with Leonardo DiCaprio, but his manager didn't really approve of it until this afternoon when he formally turned it down."
this afternoon?
Josie, who was calm on the surface, was a little bit surprised, because she finally remembered what she had forgotten after such a long day today.
So she looked for her mobile phone and said as she walked upstairs: "You guys discuss an outline first, and I'll make a call back."
Eve nodded and continued to say to Martha: "May I ask Owen Stoff? No, forget it, Keanu Reeves should be dating Amanda De Cadenet recently, and They don't seem to be going to the Oscars this year."
She was referring to a child star-turned-actress who did well in Four Rooms, starring Tim Roth.
But the problem is that Amanda de Cadenet married John Taylor of the Duran Duran band in 1991 and had a daughter. Although they filed for separation, they have not yet officially divorced.
Eve didn't want her client, who was already full of scandals, to get involved in this troublesome matter, even if Josie would join the filming of "The Devil's Advocate" after the Oscars.
"Or, let Josie walk the red carpet alone." Martha suggested, "Kevin Hovien would like to accompany her, but based on what I know about Josie, he probably won't continue to serve as a co-manager. "
The two of them were discussing business in the living room, and the other two young men had already crept upstairs to eavesdrop on who Josie was trying to avoid them calling.
From the perspective of a woman's sixth sense, Brittany thinks that Josie is mysterious, which is a bit abnormal, and there may be a situation.
Brad agrees.
The two walked around the corridor on their heels, and found that Josie had gone to the balcony, just in time to hear her shout with a smile: "Oh, Leo, aren't you angry?"
"How is it possible?" Leonardo replied without thinking, because Josie's tone seemed to be doubting if he couldn't afford it, "How could I be so boring and care about these things? I have to say , neither of us need take this matter too seriously, my dear little Joe."
Well, we are all grown-ups, and we should be tacit about this kind of thing.
It's just that Leonardo usually used similar words to send them off to other girls, but suddenly the roles were reversed, which made him feel a little weird.
- That's right, that's it.
Leonardo subconsciously ignored a trace of extremely hidden emotions in his heart, and on the surface he was still that kind of hedonism without flaws.
"Then—it really couldn't be better." Josie changed the subject as a matter of course, "Speaking of which, will you attend the Oscars ceremony this time?"
Leonardo replied: "They invited me and Claire - that is, Claire Dennis, who was filming "Romeo and Juliet" with me - as the presenters, but I was not sure whether Jim could win the Titans before the Oscars." The Nickelodeon was filmed, so it wasn't accepted."
"And now?" Josie asked again.
"Oh God, let me go." Leonardo said in a relaxed tone, "The award ceremony is less than 24 hours away, I just want to be able to stay at home quietly, on the sofa or bed with Toby Watch live."
"Well, you're right." Josie agreed, but—why were they in bed?
She laughed dumbfounded and skipped this detail.
Because she was wearing a dress, Josie felt a little cold in the night wind, chatted with Leonardo a few more words, then ended the call and walked into the room.
Turning around, Brad whistled at her and made a gesture of scissorhands.
"I won half the battle." He said with a grin.
"But I didn't lose." Brittany pushed Brad with her shoulder, leaned over and took Josie's cold arm, and asked almost coquettishly, "Tell me, Jojo, you and Leo... ..."
Before she finished speaking, Josie touched her face with a half-smile, and asked, "Before answering this question, why don't you tell me what's going on with you two?"
Brittany's face flushed instantly, she lowered her head and said nothing.
But Brad came over without embarrassment, and replied with a wave of hands: "I'm trying to formally ask her out once, but it doesn't seem to be very successful."
He was younger than both Brittany and Josie, which obviously made Brittany very hesitant, because she hadn't been in a few relationships, and she didn't know what to do.
Josie doesn't care about her friends getting along in private, as long as they don't get out of control, so she doesn't ask too much.
But she still patted Brad on the shoulder, and reminded from the perspective of Brittany's best friend: "Dating is fine, but if you make her sad—"
"I swear it's impossible!" Brad said hastily, "Also, why can you wear this dress and put such a heavy hand on me?"
He couldn't help grinning.
Josie smiled at Brad, leaving room for them, "I'm going to change, you go on."
She changed a few more outfits for the party after the Oscars. The style can be less formal and grand, and a brightly colored dress or printed skirt, or even a lady's suit is also a good choice.
Eve and Martha also discussed the result and decided that it would be better for Josie to walk the red carpet alone instead of bringing some "decorations" to embellish her beauty.
Of course, as Josie's publicist, Eve will still follow her to the red carpet. This is her job.
And Martha doesn't need to continue to pay attention to this matter.
Because Josie didn't want to hire a stylist, they decided on the outfits by themselves that night, and made an appointment with the makeup and hair team that Josie had worked with to come over early tomorrow morning to do the styling.
Well, even after the filming of Titanic, she still doesn't have any leisurely feeling...
Thinking of this, Qiao Qian, who pulled off the silk blindfold, slowly fell into a sweet dream.
