Chapter 183
Having said that, Josie took the initiative to pause, blinked her beautiful eyes, and asked, "What's the matter, it's so quiet all of a sudden. You can also talk about your own thoughts."
"No, no, I think your idea is wonderful." Jimmy McGill said quickly, "By the way, boss, I shouldn't have offended you, have I?"
Josie froze for a moment, then smirked: "Oh, thank you for reminding - now there is."
Jimmy McGill flattened his mouth and silently made a movement of zipping his mouth.
This immediately restored the relaxed atmosphere in the room, and even Jason's ice cube showed a smile on his face.
Eve clicked her tongue, applauded Josie three times symbolically, and said, "Sisters, that's cruel enough!"
Even though he commented on Josie, the senior publicist only had undisguised approval and appreciation on his face. On the contrary, Martha frowned indistinctly, but remained silent.
As for Jimmy McGill, the bastard's eyes were clearly brightened, and he was instantly opened up to a new way of thinking.
A group of people discussed in the living room of the hotel suite until late at night, poured cup after cup of coffee, roughly drew up a response plan, and each went to do what he was responsible for.
The next morning.
Eve rushed back to Los Angeles non-stop for follow-up arrangements, Martha stayed on the set to accompany Josie in the filming, and the script that the agent was worried about due to the kidnapping incident had already been written.
Jimmy McGill used his three-inch tongue, not only to persuade the hotel to take advantage of the advantages of local snakes, but also proactively and eagerly sealed the mouth of the local police station, preventing the media from getting involved, and even the interns involved in the case After checking everything, even a copy of the bank account flow was sorted out.
Josie called Old John and asked him to assist Jimmy McGill in investigating the matter.
And she herself pretended to be melancholy on the set, and drove away all the people around her from time to time while waiting for the set, showing a small expression of fear and anxiety alone, but in fact the shooting plan was not affected at all.
——That is, her own security level has increased by more than one star.
Jason transferred two colleagues, a man and a woman, from Blackwater, the United States, to protect Josie 7/24, using the crew's budget account.
During this period, Josie moved out of the hotel and lived in a Chinese community with good law and order.
The house is rented from Keanu’s grandmother, not far from Zunlong’s home in Toronto. Almost all old ladies and grandpas with money and leisure are living in this community. Cantonese and Chaoshan dialect are occasionally mixed with a few words of Mandarin. , It is rare to see a raw face haunting.
Josie and Keanu talked about the whole matter on the phone, and Keanu also believed that standing still was the safest way for Josie to deal with it at this stage, and introduced a local lawyer in Toronto to her.
In addition, he also suggested that Josie must increase the security level in the event itinerary during the awards season, and asked someone to send a bracelet with a locator and an alarm.
Zun Long also learned about this through some means, presumably he still has some power in Toronto, otherwise he would not have asked Josie if she needed help.
But Josie basically thought that the whole thing had something to do with Nxvim and the prodigal family, but after thanking him, she said that everything was under control.
There is only one thing that is most important to them at the moment, and that is to successfully finish filming "The Trap".
"And—a!"
The heroine Virginia officially joins the male protagonist Mike. After the little thief and the old thief fight each other, they each win or lose, so the matter of cooperating to make a big ticket is put on the agenda.
Before that, there is the final test.
Mike tests whether Virginia's ability is qualified for the work of the robber, and Virginia also wants to know whether Mike's contacts can get them key information.
So Mike drove Virginia to the local Chinatown where fish and dragons were mixed, and handed her a credit card after parking the car.
"State my name and swipe my card." Mike turned his head and told Virginia, holding the credit card in his hand.
Virginia smiled, picked up the credit card, looked at the front and back, and muttered, "Oh, my God, so you still use credit cards to trade with middlemen? This is too unprofessional Well, I thought you guys would at least take unnumbered cash or diamonds like in Hollywood movies."
Mike was choked by Virginia, and still maintained the chic posture of handing over the card. Unexpectedly, the thief stretched out his hand to him in the next second, and rubbed his thumb and index finger very bluntly.
"Sorry, but I think we should be more professional." Virginia hinted of course—no, she wasn't hinting anymore.
Mike glanced at Virginia quietly with his black and bright eyes, shook his head in disapproval, took out a banknote from the coin box in the driver's seat, and stuffed it into Virginia.
Virginia blinked, glanced at the lonely small denomination note, raised her eyebrows slightly.
Meaning: that's it?
However, Mike withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, and said, "In short, do as I said, this is your test."
"OK." Virginia had no choice but to jump out of the car and put the card in her pocket.
Chinatown has an exotic style that tourists from outside love to see. Even the antique shop in front of you has people stopping outside the window until they see the things in the window that look like mass-produced souvenirs. Reluctantly continue to visit.
Virginia moved her fingers to hook Xiao Yuwu's sunglasses off her head, the oval sunglasses barely covered her beautiful blue pupils.
Then, she took out a pair of thin black gloves from her pocket, put them on, and stepped forward to push open the door of the antique shop.
This old shop with all kinds of strange items can be seen as soon as you enter the door. Under the slightly dim light, it looks like a transit station leading to another world. The afternoon sun is struggling to squeeze in from the window. One bunch makes the dust in the air invisible.
A beckoning cat inlaid with gold leaf is displayed on the only counter, grinning, raising one paw and repeating mechanical movements, but the owner or employees in the store are nowhere to be seen.
What kind of test is this?
Find the difference or a puzzle game?
With her hands in her pockets, Virginia paced back and forth in the shop lobby, with a loose and relaxed smile on her face all the time.
However, as soon as she turned around, an old lady with silver hair suddenly appeared behind her, and she asked with a smile in fluent spoken language: "Guest, is there anything I can do for you?"
"Huh——" Virginia took an exaggerated breath, hooked the sunglasses down a little bit, "Hello, ma'am, Mike asked me to get his things."
"Okay." The old lady nodded, clapped her hands lightly, and walked into the counter by herself, "Chenghui, 20."
As soon as she finished speaking, a tall, dark and strong man came out from behind, holding a fake blue and white porcelain vase in his hand, waiting silently for Virginia to pay for the delivery.
"Can I have an inspection?" Virginia asked.
The tall man looked at the old lady, who nodded slightly before he stuffed the vase in Virginia's arms and stood there staring at her.
Virginia looked up and down, and couldn't help knocking on the vase with her fingers—like knocking on a watermelon—and it turned out that this thing was still a fake, even though the old lady asked for 20.
But there seems to be something wrong with the echo in it...
Virginia stretched her neck to look inside, but the old lady coughed and reminded: "Guest, if there is no problem, can you pay?"
"Oh, yes, of course." Virginia rolled her eyes and thought about it.
She carefully put the vase on the ground, then slowly took out the credit card, and asked knowingly, "Can you use Visa here? Or MasterCard?"
The old lady replied: "Sorry, guest, we only accept cash here."
Virginia's pretty little face showed an annoyed look, and while putting her hands back into her pockets, she shrugged and said, "Cash only? Emmm, okay, then I'll come back later."
The camera gave a close-up of her hand, a small film box had already been scooped up by her lightly, and it was successfully put into her bag.
The old lady seemed to feel something, and she also glanced at Virginia, but in the end she just said, "Okay, guest."
Virginia made it back to the car without incident.
Just when Mike thought she returned empty-handed, Virginia took out the film box and waved it in front of his eyes, and the next second there was nothing in her hand.
Mike became a little interested and asked, "Street magic?"
"You can put it this way." Virginia stretched out her hand, and the credit card appeared between her fingers. "Now, have I passed the test?"
Mike didn't answer, just said: "Instead of talking about this, let's hurry up and run away!"
As if responding to his words, the old lady in the antique store found out that the key item was stolen, but instead of sending her assistants to chase after it, she took out her small book, turned to the page belonging to "Mike", and next to the second letter Draw a "one".
As soon as the camera turns——
Mike and Virginia smiled at each other, and the beautiful streamlined sports car rushed out of the street.
The cooperation between two thieves has officially begun!
"CUT!"
After Jon Amir finished shouting, the assistant director informed everyone to go to eat. The food in the dining car was enough to meet most of the needs, such as the heroine's fitness meal.
Josie and Martha were sitting at the same table. The latter took a sip of black coffee, looked at Channing who was not far away, and asked, "What is the history of Channing Tatum? I heard that you personally his role."
"Why, you want to sign him?" Josie asked without answering.
"Yes." Martha admitted directly, "His appearance is suitable for playing the American youth in most commercial films, he can be a special soldier who saves the world, or a hopeless gangster. And at present, it seems that His acting skills are quite competent for this kind of vase role."
She still has the actor Brad Lanfro in her hand, but there is no conflict between the two people's play, because Brad Lanfro has stopped growing and only grew to five feet eight with difficulty.
And this height is enough to insulate him from most mainstream commercial films.
After all, he is not as handsome as Tom Cruise, nor as superb in acting as Robert Downey Jr.
This is the short-term stardom of child stars. They did not grow and develop perfectly through puberty, and most of them were hindered in their development and became one of Hollywood's fleeting meteors.
Coupled with the huge temptation of the world of luxury and gold, and some child stars are ruined by indulgent life and chaotic families, there are always very few who can successfully transform into adult actors.
In some ways, Leonardo DiCaprio is a lucky genius.
