Chapter 213
Some people may think that if they are unwilling to accept unspoken rules, then they can get away with changing careers?
But the fact is that the job of being an actor or star is, for those young men and women who are not well-educated and good-looking, this is the easiest choice, with a high income, and a relatively glamorous and decent choice.
Besides, in this society, unspoken rules are indispensable in any industry. There are endless sexual harassment and even rape in universities. Even women working in Congress have to endure their dirty colleagues and are ordered to shut up about it.
Relatively speaking, Hollywood is even better, because the price is more clearly marked here, and there is a sufficient and complete operating system as a support. Even the unspoken rules have been formulated to protect the safety and rights of both parties to the transaction.
What an irony.
Of course, not everyone has to be submerged, the difference lies in one's own bottom line.
Didn't the second-generation star who is as proud as Gwyneth Paltrow succumb to power?
Yes, her parents are of course well aware of the rules of the game in this circle, but who can really remain unmoved in the face of the tens of millions of film remuneration and the fame and fortune brought by popular stars?
Josie Horton is undoubtedly a very lucky rich second generation. Being rich is naturally a kind of luck, and a smooth star journey is another kind of incredible luck. When other rich second generations were still hanging around at the bottom of Hollywood, she Real power has already been grasped early.
Some people look down on the entertainment industry, but in fact Hollywood is one of the limited top social circles on the planet, and it has unparalleled shaping of popular culture around the world.
The influence of top superstars is definitely worldwide. Hollywood and Washington are compared with each other. Politicians are more like traffic stars in a certain sense, but celebrities are more like real politicians.
So in Hollywood, the daughter of the former richest man may be an unknown TV cafe, and many producers who make bad movies or models who do not have a serious job are often the second or third generation rich.
There are too many opportunities here, which are fascinating and impossible to pass up.
"I thought you still remembered what you said, Harvey." Josie raised her eyes and glanced at Harvey Weinstein coldly, "I have nothing to talk to people like you. It won't work here either."
"So, you have to fight against me, don't you?" Harvey Weinstein pointed at Ashley Judd who dared not make a sound. Tonight is the most brilliant moment of his career. It also makes him appear extra arrogant and conceited.
And he also thinks he is capable enough to do so.
Power is a wonderful good thing, isn't it?
However, Josie raised her eyebrows and said with a sneer, "Isn't this obvious enough?"
"Very good. I'm afraid your moral standards are not suitable for Hollywood, because there are too many assholes worse than me." Harvey Weinstein smiled instead of anger, and he still didn't forget to put a smile on Ashley Judd. Ruthless words, "Ashley, I hope you can continue to be so rampant like your new friend."
"Don't worry about it! Go to hell, you bastard!" Ashley Judd said angrily.
The young actress finally couldn't hold back her sarcasm, and even gave him an international gesture.
Josie let out a series of crisp laughter for this, and the irony in it was self-evident.
Harvey Weinstein's face was serious, but he didn't explode on the spot, but turned and left without saying a word, with countless revenge plans against them rolling in his heart.
But obviously, Josie didn't care.
She has enough confidence to say "no" to Weinstein.
It is true that there are countless scumbags and assholes in Hollywood, and she is not a police officer or a savior, but she can at least guarantee that those things will not happen under her nose.
This country is originally an absolute patriarchal society. Hollywood objectifies women more thoroughly. It is almost difficult to find women at the top of the pyramid. Josie wants to stand at the top. In addition to being strong enough, she must also help Other women stand taller.
Change is never something that only one person can do.
After Ashley Judd vented by her side, fear welled up in her heart again, and she began to sob low and forbearance. Her big round and charming eyes were full of confusion, but she still cried beautifully, enough to make most people cry pity.
Sadly, that doesn't include Josie.
"I'll call PJ." Josie said bluntly. "He won't exclude you from the audition list, and he won't give you special treatment. It's not out of my sympathy for you, but you The courage to win a relatively fair competition for yourself."
Ashley Judd's crying stopped abruptly, and she looked at Josie as if she couldn't believe it, her eyes full of hope.
Maybe it was just a phone call for Josie, but for Ashley Judd, it would undoubtedly change her entire career.
She quickly adjusted her mood, and after expressing her solemn thanks again, the actress left here with a wink. She was going to go home and read the original novel of Lord of the Rings again. At least this time, she must do her best in the audition .
And Josie's entertainment tonight is still going on——
"Josie, I want to introduce you to my friend Andrew Nicole."
"Oh, of course, The Truman Show is my personal best of the year, nice to meet you, Andrew."
"Hello, Josie, I don't know what you think about more and more computer special effects instead of live-action shooting?"
"This is the general trend of the future. Perhaps ten or decades later, acting in front of a green screen will become the mainstream of Hollywood, and even the profession of an actor will be replaced by the rapid development of technology, just like "Time and Space" Just like in Titans."
...
After leaving the Vanity Fair party, Josie made separate appearances at the Sony Columbia and Fox parties.
As Amy Pascal said, they specially arranged a celebration ceremony for Josie, a giant flamboyant golden champagne tower, and Nobuyuki Idei of the Sony Group also sent a check on behalf of the group as the box office hit of "The Perfect Victim". Bonuses for selling.
Oh, Franklin, the price is enough to make her forget about that awful champagne tower.
"Hi, Josie!"
Heath Ledger with a mess of blond hair appeared out of nowhere, with a bright smile on his young face. The release of this movie has brought him a lot of attention, but he still looks the same Cheerful big boy, not very Hollywood.
"Hi, Heath." Josie asked, "How are you doing?"
Heath scratched the ends of his curly hair and replied, "Mel recommended me to Columbia, and I will be in his new film "The Patriot." And you, how are you?"
"Boy, I'm Josie Horton." Josie laughed amusedly, as if to say again: Baby, what stupid question are you asking?
Apparently Heath was also aware of this, and it was a little out of place to ask such a question on the night Josie had just been crowned, so it was hard for him not to get more nervous.
Fortunately, Josie chuckled lightly, and added: "But thank you for your concern, I'm fine, I can't be better."
So Heath smiled brightly at Josie, as if he was relieved because of her words, a warm light shone in his brown eyes.
This made Josie understand immediately.
Maybe this innocent guy hasn't quite come out of his role in the movie, or maybe he just can't control his hormones for a while - but sadly, he's not the type that Josie would like .
So Josie just pretended that she didn't notice the atmosphere deliberately created by the other party, waved her hand casually, and turned around to meet her friends Brittany Murphy and Stacy Dash.
Both actresses have developed well in recent years, if not compared to Josie.
Brittany Murphy's starting point is very high, and she is also one of the young actresses with the fastest rising momentum. She has starred in some good films one after another, except for the "U-turn" that she cooperated with Sean Penn before. , This year, "The Girl Who Moves the Soul" and "Fatal **" will be released.
And Stacey, who is not very ambitious, signed several seasons of the TV series "Leadership", and occasionally played soy sauce in some movies. After kicking out that trash agent, life was much more pleasant.
"Nice job! Beauty!"
The two girls seriously prepared the flower spray tube that could spray out a rain of flower petals, and sprinkled the gold powder and colored paper all over Josie, laughing and making a fuss.
Stacey Dash was very proud and asked, "Where's your Oscar? Can I take a photo with it?"
"In the trunk of the car." Josie gave a maddening answer.
"What?" Stacy's voice was high-pitched, displaying her racial talent, "You actually threw the trophy recorded in history into the trunk!"
Brittany tiptoed to remove a small piece of colored paper from Josie's temple, and gave her a haircut as well.
Josie lowered her head cooperatively, looked at Stacy at the same time, and said, "Otherwise? The academy didn't give me another bag to pack it in."
—In fact, Jason kept a sturdy and neat lockbox in the trunk of the car, which contained some cash and his tools.
Stacey just thought they had thrown away the statuette that everyone admired, and exaggerated pity appeared on her face, muttering: "That's the Oscar statuette! Oh my God! Sister, are you heartless? ?”
"..." Josie was speechless for a while, and could only say, "Anyway, it's been well kept. From tomorrow, it will appear in the bathroom on the first floor of my house, next to the sink—do you know what I mean?"
Stacey nodded hastily: "Understood, I promise I won't do anything weird when I secretly hold it to look in the mirror or take pictures."
That's an Oscar statuette!
As an actor, who doesn't have a dream of pursuing an Oscar?
Stacey couldn't help but think about what pose to pose with it and what acceptance speech to give.
Brittany giggled and blinked her big eyes and asked Josie, "Is it alright if we go to your house tomorrow?"
She knew that Josie might be very busy these days, so she didn't want to disturb her friends. After all, Josie had too many people and things that were more important than them to deal with.
As for the three of them can meet at any time, just relax and play together, nothing special.
Josie gave Brittany a soothing smile, and replied, "It's all trivial things, you can come."
Only then did Brittany feel relieved, and said that tomorrow afternoon she would bring some homemade cupcakes and biscuits to everyone, and asked Josie and the others what flavors they liked.
Josie answered one by one without showing any impatience, which surprised some people who observed this scene.
"Didn't she kick them away?" Drew Barrymore muttered, "Well, I thought she was the same kind of person as the arrogant Princess Paltrow. But she wasn't. What a surprise."
Tonight she is here to fight for Sony Columbia's upcoming project "Charlie's Angels". It is rumored in the industry that they have offered a high price of 15+15% for Josie Horton. Up.
In this way, there is less room for others to bid.
But female action movies are so rare, so Drew Barrymore couldn't help but hate Josie Horton a little in his heart-who made her so enviable?
But seeing that Josie Horton indirectly made Gwyneth Paltrow look ashamed, and directly made the latter's dream of becoming an actress come true, Drew Barrymore couldn't help but love her to death!
"Drew?" Her manager called her name over her shoulder.
"Here it is!" Drew Barrymore hurried over, "Shall we talk to Amy directly?"
"That's the most convenient way..."
