Chapter 196
"Good evening, Josie."
Matt Damon, who was a beat slower, seemed a little cramped.
Although it has been a whole year since the Oscar night when he really became famous, this Harvard talent has completely adapted to life in this circle, but when facing Josie Horton, the former ambiguous object, he still feels Tension as always.
This is not because of how sexy or charming the other party is, but because everything about her left a deep impression on people, especially the indescribable frustration she brought to him, even though he was already stable. Stepping into the ranks of the popular niche is still unforgettable.
oh man.
The bad nature of this creature can never be changed.
"Hi, lovebirds!" Josie said calmly, looking at Winona Ryder, "Thank goodness, our mysterious Enigma machine is finally going to be out of business, and I am personally looking forward to the release of "The Matrix" in March. '' release—you'll be rooting for Keanu, too, darling?"
"Of course, I will." Winona Rhett said casually.
"Then, why not sign up for a Timi account to repost the trailer of "The Matrix"? Believe me, once you open a social account, you will definitely attract everyone's attention." Josie didn't give Winona Ryder a chance to refuse, it seemed very Believe in their camaraderie.
And the expression on her face is very sincere, which makes people feel the lethality of Ms. Sweetheart's smile. No wonder some people are willing to go through fire and water for this smile.
"Let's talk... I'm not very used to using technology products." Winona Ryder shirked.
"It's okay, I can teach you." Josie said to herself, "That's it, let's exchange contact information."
Winona Ryder had no choice but to agree.
Well, just for Keanu's sake...
After that, they talked about the movie again. At the beginning, Josie expressed her expectation for "The Girl Who Moved Soul", because her good friend Brittany Murphy got an important role.
Then there was the business mutual boasting of the two beauties, almost completely forgetting Matt Damon aside.
Looking at the back of Josie's departure, the beautiful female star sighed indescribably.
"Really, do I know her that well?" Winona Reed said in a complicated tone.
Matt Damon, who was standing there, touched the tip of his nose. He didn't know how to answer for a while, so he just smiled vaguely, expressing his approval for Winona Ryder.
Simply Winona Rhett didn't expect him to answer, but muttered: "...But it's really impossible to refuse."
Everyone knows that the social networking site and the Internet company are novelty toys invested by Josie Horton's rich father, but what is puzzling is that this seemingly ordinary company has developed in a short period of time. It is popular in North America, and has even quickly occupied the European market.
And when Winona Ryder's public relations spokesperson asked her for the first time whether to open a social account, she had a certain ambivalence and rejected the proposal on the grounds that she didn't like social networking sites.
Partly because her ex-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow was so popular there, she really didn't want to see that bitch face until the "Shakespeare in Love" craze completely faded ;
On the other hand, it was because of Josie Horton, who quickly rose to the top. A few years ago, she ruined the other party's chance to be a match for her. A few years later, the other party's status was even higher than her own. Sissy Horton's participation in "The Girl Who Moved Soul" produced by her was rejected by Amy Pascal without even thinking about it.
The once unremarkable little girl made great strides all the way, but the former popular actress was stuck in a bottleneck, and her best friend stole an important career opportunity...
Well, there was nothing wrong with Julia Roberts being the heroine that Shakespeare in Love wanted to find at the beginning a few years ago, but when the project really started last year, Gwyneth Paltrow was from her See script.
If the opponent had competed through normal channels, Winona Ryder wouldn't be so bitter, but Gwyneth Paltrow took the role away without saying a word.
Even after Winona Ryder failed the audition, she pretended to comfort her, and finally when the two sides confronted each other, she said innocently that it was Miramax who took the initiative to approach and the agent signed the contract without knowing it.
That makes things unbearable,
Thinking of this, Winona Ryder's delicate attitude towards Josie Horton disappeared immediately, and she even very much hoped that the latter could beat Gwyneth Paltrow at the Oscar ceremony. bitch.
But to be honest, the odds that this will happen are too low.
First of all, this year is another year when great films come together, and the performance awards in the leading actress department are very fierce. Even the younger generation has Cate Blanchett in "Elizabeth" and Samantha Morton in "The Heavier Is" , Jane Horrocks of "The Dumb Singer" and others, not to mention Meryl Streep's old drama;
Secondly, in the past few years, Josie Horton has continuously been nominated for Oscar performance awards. For a young actor who is only 22 years old with a full budget, this situation is enough to prove that the Oscars favor her. In most cases, Most of the big stars who have been famous for a long time won awards in their 40s and 40s. The acting schools who don't follow the star route are even worse, mostly after [-] years old.
Most importantly, assuming that Josie Horton is really successful, she will become the youngest Best Actress winner in Oscar history, refreshing the 59th Oscar Best Actress winner "Falling into God's Child" The record of Mary Matlin of Ours.
Winona Ryder thinks she doesn't care about the last point, even though she is filming "The Girl Who Moved Soul" is an ambitious film that will hit next year's Oscars.
Because she believed that no matter whether Josie Horton won an award or set a new record, she would not be the number one person in film history anyway, and there was no irreconcilable conflict between her and Josie Horton's routes.
But people such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Claire Denise and others are very nervous about this year's awards season, because they have certain overlaps with Josie Horton in terms of appearance and acting.
If the latter is allowed to continue to complete the feat of making famous film history, what will be left to others will only be leftovers.
After all, there are only so many top resources in Hollywood.
If you don't climb up, you will only be trampled down!
In a lounge at the reception——
One of the top directors in Hollywood and one of the Big Three of DreamWorks Pictures, Steven Spielberg poured a little whiskey with ice cubes for himself and Peter Guber in front of him.
Steven Spielberg is a short white male with a typical Jewish face, wearing black thin-rimmed glasses, and looks gentle.
He took a sip of wine first, then took out a brown paper envelope from his coat pocket, put it on the table and said, "Peter, the disk is already here, I think this is enough to prove our sincerity."
Peter Guber glanced at the envelope, and instead of grabbing it immediately, he said, "Steven, I believe in your credibility, but I hope that neither you nor David will disappoint me."
"I promise you." Steven Spielberg said.
Even without Peter Guber's peace, he has long disapproved of what David Geffen has been doing, and he has offered an olive branch.
However, Josie Horton and her team did not accept it.
——She did have enough voice to refuse to accept it.
On the one hand, the actress is a hot A-list star whose status entitles her to privilege anywhere in Hollywood;
On the other hand, Tianji Films allowed her to complete the transformation from a pure actor to a cross-border producer, officially entering the center of power in Hollywood.
Peter Guber just picked up the envelope, opened it and broke the disk with a light snap.
Then, he put back the damaged disk, spread his hands and said, "Relax, man, she still respects you or other seniors in the industry, as long as no one annoys her."
Steven Spielberg was noncommittal, and pondered: "Peter..."
Peter Guber went on: "She's the chosen voice of Wall Street, like your great guy is serving the Pentagon, and Hollywood has no permanent enemies, only permanent business, isn't it?"
"I get it. A business is a business," said Steven Spielberg. "Honestly, I appreciate her talent as an actress, or I wouldn't hand you this damn disk, after all we all know If a picture of a white actress harassing a Chinese-American actor came out, it would be devastating to her career."
Peter Gubel laughed: "I have to correct it, the person in the photo is just Josie's stand-in...Sarah or something? Oh, that doesn't matter, the important thing is that we will live in peace, right?"
Steven Spielberg agrees.
The two veteran filmmakers chatted for another five minutes or so, before one of them stood up and went to the bathroom, before ending the conversation and leaving the room to return to the reception.
What they didn't know was that 10 minutes after they left, a third person who had been hiding in the room crept into the room.
To be honest, if her mother didn't order her to appear here, Gwyneth Paltrow originally wanted to pretend to be sick and decline this reception instead of hiding in this lounge bored.
But fortunately she appeared here, and for some unknown reason, when she heard her godfather Steven Spielberg bring in Peter Guber from Mandela Entertainment, she didn't take the initiative to make a sound.
Instead, he stood silently in the shadow of the balcony.
Gwyneth Paltrow first rubbed her almost frozen arm vigorously, and then began to replay the important conversation she had just "accidentally" heard.
What did they talk about in the end, Gwyneth Paltrow didn't have the heart to listen anymore, only the news about the disk was left in her mind, and when she was sure that there was really no one in the room, she couldn't wait to Look for the figure of that disk.
If you guessed correctly, physical means alone cannot destroy a disk, and Peter Guber would most likely not be able to bring something in the way back to the reception, he would just find a nearby trash can and throw away the wreckage.
Gwyneth Paltrow rummaged in the room for a long time, until she was about to despair, and endured the nausea to find what she wanted from the bathroom.
"E—"
The elegant blonde wrapped the broken disk with clean toilet paper, stuffed it directly into her small handbag, and found another excuse to say goodbye to her godfather.
As soon as she got into her luxury car, Gwyneth Paltrow took out her mobile phone and dialed Harvey Weinstein's phone number.
"Harvey, listen, you have to help me..."
