Chapter 204
"That sounds like an anthropological answer," Stella Bank said, with a thoughtful look on her face, "So, for The Perfect Victim, what did you think was the most difficult thing to do during filming?" What is it?"
"Maintain the fragility and elusiveness of Iris, as well as the vitality deep in her heart." Josie paused, and used an adjective, "This is not called 'difficulty', but 'challenge'. The profession of an actor It’s fascinating because our acting is so random and instinctive. Sometimes I get my makeup done on the morning of a shoot and I feel like my character is looking at me in the mirror. It’s amazing.”
"Yes. Wonderful and charming." Stella Bank smiled.
From the perspective of this entertainment reporter with a professional background in journalism, Josie Horton didn't seem to be affected too much by the abominable kidnapping case. Unexpectedly, there was no part of selling misery or crying, which made Stella. Bank's sense of it has improved a lot.
But as a professional media worker, she must dig out every valuable news.
So she straightened her expression and asked sharply: "So, we all know that during this period of time, because of that kidnapping case, you have been pushed to the forefront, and many people think that you should not treat your fans like that, At least act a little more forgiving and kind. As a Hollywood star."
"As a Hollywood star, I am also an ordinary person." Josie said bluntly, "Tolerance and kindness are very precious qualities in this era, and there is no need to leave them to criminals."
Stella Bank continued to ask: "Aren't you worried that your fans will be disappointed or frustrated with you?"
"Ah, why would you have such an idea?" Josie asked back, "I must reiterate, it's a crime, not a dinner. It's the local judge who decides how to judge a crime, and I'm just doing what a law-abiding citizen should do." I have no regrets about it.”
Maybe Keanu is the kind of "saint" who can take a photo with him when someone breaks into his house-he can be said to be the most approachable star in Hollywood, which obviously has something to do with his upbringing-but Josie thinks he is far away Far from reaching that state, on the contrary, she pays great attention to the privacy of the private sphere, and is also tired of similar stalking or intrusion.
Josie thought: I have never been a very good person, and I can't learn the rough nerves of the American people.
Stella Bank smiled, and seemed to relax a bit, but then asked: "There are rumors that you are considering taking a rest because of this incident, which has seriously affected your health. Is this true? "
This time Josie's answer was much slower.
She first picked up the lemonade on the bar, lowered her eyes and sipped slowly, and after about half a minute, she continued, "No, I'm just giving myself a vacation. I will Reduce some work and transfer more energy to my studies, but acting has always been a career I love, my fans are very important to me, and I will not stop moving forward."
"Oh, it's really touching." Stella Bank responded, "To be honest, I personally like your performance in "The Perfect Victim" very much."
Josie smiled slightly and replied, "Thank you, I like it too."
Stella Bank was pleased by her very calm and confident attitude, and then completed the interview in this relaxed and happy atmosphere.
And when they temporarily ended the interview, the black-haired old lady who had been listening carefully took the lead in applauding, and then the whole hall was filled with applause.
"Well said, Ms. Horton!"
"Bravo! Bravo!"
"You're doing well, I wish you well!"
"Come on, Josie! We are all your big fans!"
"We'll support you forever!"
"Oscar belongs to you!"
Josie made a stage curtain call with a smile, thanking the people present for their enthusiasm. Some of them were nursing home staff, but most of them were hotel tourists who were attracted.
The charges of this nursing home are not cheap, so people who fly from all over the world to enjoy their vacations also have some status. For example, one of the gentlemen is actually a writer for "New Yorker".
And those two ladies are even more incredible. One is one of the "Greatest Actresses of the Century" selected by the American Film Institute, and the other is simply the second female academy president after Bette Davis.
"Come here, Lark, let me introduce you." Lauren Bacall, with a beautiful and cool face, took off her sunglasses, smiled and waved to Josie, "This is my friend Fay Kanin , Fei, she is the girl from Dina's family I mentioned to you, my little friend Josie Horton."
Josie had already put on a friendly yet pleasant smile on her face, and she took the initiative to step forward and said, "Nice to meet you, Ms. Kanin, you are a very good screenwriter."
"Hello, Josie." Fay Kanin's attitude was not particularly enthusiastic, but he was also gentle. "Before Lauren, I heard that nagging little old man in Woody mention you. But now I prefer I know, your role in "The Perfect Victim"..."
Josie and Fay Kanin focused on talking about movies, while Lauren Bacall on the side was obviously used to the personality of a good friend, and didn't care about being ignored for a while.
In any case, the plan was half successful.
As an actress who has been active since the 40s, Lauren Bacall was called "Thelook" because of her iconic expression when she was young. She is not only one of the most admired actresses in the industry, but also a legend Golden age superstars.
Compared with female stars of the same era, Lauren Bacall's love life was much smoother. She lived with her husband Humphrey Bogart for 12 years until Bogart died of throat cancer when she was 33 years old.
——Humphrey Bogart is definitely one of the best actors of the golden age, starred in such classic films as "Casablanca" and "African Queen".
For a long time, Lauren Bacall is still active in the film industry. When she is not working, she will stay in her "museum". It is the Dakota Building on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, where many celebrities live. It is also the doorstep of John Lennon's murder.
A few months ago, her friend Dina Merlin talked about the girl Josie Horton when the two met.
The competition in Hollywood has intensified in recent years.
The United Kingdom is fierce, and the west coast is full of talents. Therefore, the east coast urgently needs to hold out a big star belonging to New York, so as to continue the authority and status of the east coast.
In the beginning, they chose Claire, the talented little girl from the Dennis family, so when that chosen girl made her debut, she was not only escorted by Jodie Foster, but also received a lot of resources.
——The first film was the women's bible "Little Women", the second film partnered with Leonardo DiCaprio, and the third film directly cooperated with the director Francis Coppola.
But the problem is, Claire Dennis doesn't seem to have much audience popularity, and her star power and luck are not very good.
A "Romeo and Juliet" exploded Leonardo DiCaprio, but Claire Dennis' income was far less than the other party's. The next "Rainmaker", "Les Miserables" and "Juliet Tasted the Forbidden Fruit" ", all fluttered silently.
On the other hand, Josie Horton, who fought alone back then, has basically completed the transformation from a youth idol to a first-line star. She is only one major commercial film away from becoming a godhead. Obviously, Fox is full of confidence in "The Trap", and is currently working on it. Overwhelming advertising.
Compared with this, the attribution of the best actress in this year's Oscar is not so important.
On the one hand, it is because Josie Horton is following the line of an orthodox box-office superstar, Oscar is an honor, but the main commercial blockbuster is the real proof of her strength; on the other hand, she already has enough works and nominations to prove her acting skills, Absolutely no one will continue to see her as a vase.
Lauren Bacall's impression of Josie Horton's childhood has faded, but this does not prevent her from applauding the girl's achievements now, and spare no effort to join the ranks of helping her.
Passing the torch is part of the business, isn't it?
So a while ago, she invited some actors and friends in the industry to have a small gathering at home, and naturally talked about "The Perfect Victim" and Josie Horton's performance in it.
And now Fay Kanin is their next supporter.
——This famous screenwriter has worked in the industry for many years and has maintained a good relationship with many actors.
Later, the interview team of "Variety Show" was entertained for lunch, and in the afternoon they finished shooting for the magazine, and left the nursing home on time.
As we all know, audience popularity is a wonderful star quality.
Some people are not even handsome or young and beautiful, but when they appear on the screen, the audience just find them likable, such as some of the stars of "Friends";
But for other people, they have enough delicate skins and their acting skills are on the same level, but when they see their faces and smiles, people will have some negative associations;
For example, the current Gwyneth Paltrow.
A few days ago, the popularity of this young Hollywood actress was not bad. She had starred in several works that were not very popular but definitely acclaimed. Most of the main force who hated her were Brad Pitt fans and a small Some netizens who hate the rich.
Although she has attracted mixed comments from many netizens because of her way of showing off her wealth and admiring her lifestyle on the Internet, this kind of elegant, noble and well-educated actress is a scarce resource in Hollywood. Not very well educated - so Gwyneth Paltrow still has her own diehard fans.
However, as a low-resolution but recognizable video was circulated on the Internet, these movie fans who were obsessed with her temperament, beauty, background, etc. felt deeply the anger of being deceived.
In the video, Gwyneth Paltrow squatted on the ground, pinching her nose in front of a trash can, and rummaged through it without gloves for 5 minutes, which completely confused her public relations team The image of a lady carefully crafted in the past is gone...
