Chapter 137

"Overseas distribution." Josie's tone was taken for granted, "Sorry, but I'm a straightforward person, so I'll tell you directly, I hope this movie can be released in Asia, especially the one that has just opened up to Hollywood. Kingdom, became one of the blockbuster films that were simultaneously introduced."

The North American and most of the world's distribution of "The Trap" is done by Fox, but at this time Fox's tentacles have no way to extend to the other side of the ocean, and the review and introduction system there is so special.

——Of course, there is also the reason why Josie herself is looking forward to cooperating with Mr. Zun Long as an actor in a movie. From a certain perspective, she is really a bit obsessed with cooperating actors.

Ms. Huang did not answer immediately, but asked: "Miss Horton, as far as I know, your grandmother was a member of a charitable foundation, and it happens to be still in operation now. I wonder if you are interested in joining?"

"Oh, what kind of foundation?" Josie asked, seemingly interested. "You know, it's hard for a young girl like me to be interested in those political or international crises. Maybe it's easier to help refugees."

Her external persona is an ordinary actor with a self-willed artist personality, walking the road of a cool girl who is an independent woman.

——not an ambitious capital tycoon.

"About environmental protection." Ms. Huang gave a topic that couldn't be safer.

"If its information will appear in my mailbox, I will consider it." Josie said this, she will not give a clear answer now, "Where did we talk? Oh, simultaneous introduction."

"Simultaneity is impossible." Ms. Huang shook her head and explained: "The review cycle over there takes at least three months. All we can do is try our best to help this movie match up and become one of the ten Hollywood movies that are introduced every year." One of the films."

Josie didn't expect to be released at the same time, so she said: "Then there is a chance to introduce—I assume we have reached a preliminary consensus?"

"Yes, I can be sure of this. But we need some time here and see the complete script." Ms. Huang said.

Josie also nodded.

Ms. Huang temporarily agreed, but she still needs to contact some old guys after she goes back to give a specific answer.

She asked Zunlong himself for his opinion: "Ah Liang, what do you think?"——She used Cantonese.

"I want to bring my pet into the group." Zun Long answered this question in standard English. It seems that he was caused by some big-name rumors to cause PTSD, and he added this sentence specially: "It is a very pet. Adorable puppy, just like my kids, we were always inseparable."

"Okay, this will be written into the contract - do I need to provide an assistant for it?" Josie can understand part of her feelings for pets, although she herself is a pet cat and play with dogs when she has nothing to do, but she is unwilling to accept it They become the "bad girls" of their own family members.

"No, no need." Zun Long was a little shy and didn't talk much, but his smile was good enough, and he always listened carefully to people's conversations, and only occasionally released some key opinions.

— Well, he looks really scared.

Josie readily accepted on behalf of the producer, and then they only talked about the film and the script itself, and no longer mentioned the issue of overseas distribution.

She has always been ambitious, so from the beginning she planned to make "The Trap" into a feminist series of action films, and the film contract for Zun Long was also negotiated according to the overall plan.

However, the original movie was lacking in plot and suspense, so she hired a well-known Hollywood script doctor to ask them to modify some details according to her own ideas. For example, she didn't want the relationship between the hero and heroine to be so ambiguous. Want more exciting action scenes.

It sounds like it is easy to go astray and cause a loss-making business, but in fact, the essence and selling points of "Stealing the Sky" are basically retained, such as the heroine shuttles through the infrared rays, one old and one young , The two protagonists who are still and moving collide with wonderful sparks, as well as the tension and excitement brought about by the fighting skills of the two gods and thieves and the repeated reversals.

——The charm of female action movies is girlcrush. Isn't it fun to watch the heroine defeat the enemy with high energy all the way? What about slow love!

The brand-new film work makes this new first-line big star full of fighting spirit, whether it is "The Perfect Victim", which she personally participated in the creation of deeply, or her first commercial film "The Trap", which is the main box office. It's exciting.

At the end of May, Josie's spring semester ended, and the long-awaited "Perfect Victim" officially entered the filming stage.

The first thing to do is the scene between Josie and Heath Ledger. They have rehearsed this part many times in private. In the beginning, there was a scene in which Sean, played by Heath, was peeping at the heroine Iris being raped outside the door. .

Before that, Iris was a pure and flawless goddess, the flower of Gaoling known by everyone in the school.

Although she was born in poverty and was sent to an orphanage in her early years, she has excellent grades. She is also the president of the student council and a member of the orchestra in middle school, and she plays the surprisingly beautiful piano.

But at this moment, this high mountain flower was roughly pressed on the beautiful and delicate piano, like a desperate and dying swan.

One of her arms was stretched upwards, and the other was firmly in front of her numb and cold eyes. Her pale, almost transparent face was pressed against the black reflective piano cover. Her deep eyes were moist, but nonexistent. any tears.

But it happened to be like this, her indifferent expression full of alienation, and her half-clothed but icy and graceful body like a stone statue formed a strange and contradictory attraction.

Iris seemed to feel something, and suddenly trembled her thick long eyelashes, raised her eyes slightly to look at the door that was not closed tightly, as if she was looking directly at the eyes that belonged to Xiao En who was secretly peeping.

Here the camera gives Sean a rather subtle close-up:

His face was almost completely hidden in the shadows outside the door, only a little light fell on his brown pupils, making it easy for people to capture his quietly dilated pupils due to emotion and excitement.

But other than that, Sean's facial expression is always shaken and contradictory, full of immoral guilt and his own pain and hatred for Iris' beautiful fantasy being trampled on at will.

Heath is in a deep state of play.

The direct manifestation of this is that he had a certain male reaction on the spot. Even if he was facing the camera shot that was controlled by Ernest Dawson himself and almost hit his face, he did not Show the slightest embarrassment.

His clear eyes didn't blink for a moment, and he almost forgot his own breathing. The intertwined expressions on his face changed quietly with the ray of light, and finally froze in an obsessed longing.

This scene overlapped with the scene of Iris making love with another person in the auditorium of the school when Sean was about to graduate from university, passing through each other's time and space.

Iris, who has grown up, has a more pure and beautiful appearance. Even though she is immersed in passion and desire, she still has such a cold expression, and even her lips are tightly closed from beginning to end, making no sound. .

Only the man behind her suppressed the extreme pain and pleasure, whispering her name from time to time: "Iris...my Iris...please..."

Iris was unmoved.

She seemed to be in the same posture that Sean remembered, with her snow-white body exposed in the air, in stark contrast to the black piano below her, but the man was still fully dressed, with an extremely frantic expression.

The scene in front of me seemed like an absurd satire.

However, as the heroine, Iris has an almost astonishing beauty. Even if her brows are cold and silent, the unrestrained, sticky and moist color is heavy from her casual eyes. hit.

The man let out a feeble growl.

At the same moment, the Adam's apple on Sean's neck couldn't help rolling, and a flush of hot air surged onto his cheeks unexpectedly, causing him to turn his head away as if fleeing, not knowing that after he left, Iris What happened to him.

The piano room suddenly became extremely quiet.

Iris straightened up.

At the same time, her right foot stepped on the wooden floor, and then the camera went all the way up, from her side body line, to her slender shoulders and neck, and a delicately shaped chin.

In the fade-out effect of the camera, you can see the old scars on her body, big and small, especially the one above the right breast, which is like a ferocious lightning that destroys the ultimate beauty of this body, making it incomplete the shackles.

But it didn't make her feel any unnecessary inferiority complex, but deepened the arrogance deep in this person's heart.

In the picture, the chin of the young girl is slightly closed, with a sense of childlike innocence, but the pair of seductive and criminal red lips are full, and they move slightly, as if people can smell the sweetness of strawberries on them.

Ernest did not continue to capture more of Josie's expressions and eyes, but kept the picture in a position with enough room for imagination.

The gray and white walls in the background and the existence of the piano are blurred, only her colors are particularly vivid: the red lips, the white skin, and the golden hair color, all of which form a strong aesthetic feeling of coldness and alienation.

"CUT. Brilliant."

He gave a thumbs up and let this pass.

For this movie, Josie dyed her hair a silvery light blonde—silveryblondehair—slightly darker than the usual platinum, with a glamorous silvery sheen.

With just a change of hair color, Josie's personality seems to have changed all of a sudden. There seem to be many stories in her heart that people want to dig out. Even though the smile on her face is still sweet and pleasant, her eyes are still full of arrogance and alienation.

And that's exactly what Ernest wanted for a heroine, a charm that was out of place with the world but couldn't be ignored.

The crew's life assistant stepped forward to put on a bathrobe for Josie. After the latter sat there to touch up her makeup, her own assistant Kelly handed her a glass of slightly hot water.

Josie thanked the two of them habitually, and then asked, "Kelly, how was the interview with my new assistant?"

Some time ago, she hoped that a commissioner would be in charge of managing her cloakroom, taking photos and archives of all things, and sorting out and donating clothes every season. Given that she is popular with brand PR, this is obviously not a workload that Kylie can take on concurrently. So Josie planned to hire another assistant in Los Angeles.

In addition, this assistant also needs to hand over part of Kelly's work, such as buying coffee for everyone on the set, running errands between Los Angeles and New York, etc., so it is best to choose someone who has done statistical work male employees.

And Kelly's future work scope will be further streamlined, and there are currently more than a dozen tasks, including writing emails, summarizing media information, arranging meetings and business trips, managing the boss's credit card and personal expenses, and sometimes assisting in receiving guests, etc. .
