Chapter 214
Kelly brought some food from the buffet counter to Josie, and she only ate a piece of chocolate and drank wine all day, which made Kelly admire the female star's willpower very much.
In fact, Josie is craving some junk food right now, her stomach misses sweets and fried chicken so badly.
"Dangdang—a surprise delivery!"
The big Burger King logo and the aroma of hot food suddenly appeared in front of Josie, and the girl who stooped behind Josie also jumped out after making a sound.
"I guess you must not have eaten well tonight." Lindsay Lohan blinked her big eyes, her dazzling red hair tied into a high ponytail, looking extremely playful.
"Lindsay?" Josie was a little surprised.
"Oh, it's me." Lindsay took the initiative to open the Burger King takeaway that was finally brought in in an insulated bag, and put it on the table in front of Josie, "Eat, eat, I know this is what you love, I I saw your interview!"
"This is such a surprise." Josie touched Lindsay's little head, and it was hard not to feel happy in her heart. She took a bite of the hot cheeseburger and couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh.
Lindsay supported her chin with both hands, sat next to Josie and stared at it intently, and couldn't help feeling: "Eat food looks so good, she really deserves to be the beauty I love!"
After hearing this, Josie couldn't help laughing, and then she remembered to ask, "Did you come here alone?"
It is already past one o'clock in the morning, and it is not safe for a ten-year-old girl to run around alone.
And the Colombian party is not something that Lindsay can get in just by swiping his face, right?
"Of course not, my friend came with me." Lindsay rolled her big eyes and showed a sly smile, "But there are too many beautiful babies here tonight, he may have accidentally lost his way."
Josie raised her eyebrows slightly, noncommittal, just said: "Then I will ask my assistant to take you home later—where do you live in Los Angeles?"
Speaking of which, Lindsay Lohan's father was also a Wall Street elite. Josie only remembered that the Lohan family lived in a high-rise apartment in Manhattan. Later, her mother took care of her life and work, but that seemed to be an alcoholic.
Lindsay stuck out her tongue and said with a guilty conscience, "I ran out secretly..."
"Lindsay Lohan!"
Before he could finish speaking, a familiar voice came from behind Lindsay. Josh Jones strode forward, grabbed Lindsay who was just about to run by the collar, and lifted her up by virtue of his height.
"You little liar full of lies—" Josh gritted his teeth and stared at Lindsay fiercely, "What's the matter with that woman? Why did she come up to me..."
"Are you sure you want to say this? Here?" Lindsay shrank her neck and spread her hands, with an innocent expression, and motioned Josh, who was very angry, to look around.
Only then did Josh notice the other people present, such as Josie.
Love and hate at a young age are usually short-lived and intense. This is how Josh feels about Josie. This one-way love ends when Josh meets someone new, but it does not prevent Josie from becoming the most special person in his life. one of my friends.
Therefore, this silver-haired young man with a wild nature frowned subconsciously, and after letting go of his hand, he couldn't help but glared at Lindsay fiercely.
However, Lindsay blew a loud whistle triumphantly, and sat back to the position just now with his arms crossed, and he even raised his legs, looking confident.
"Good evening, Josh." Josie greeted routinely, her gaze circled between Josh and Lindsay, and immediately figured out the whole thing, "Thank you, the burgers are delicious."
"It's just on the way." Josh, who was not provoked, returned to his normal state, and did not take all the credit, "I don't want to meet this annoying little devil, but who asked her to beg me, so I had to bring her in It's-"
He couldn't help but pause, because Lindsay made faces at him again from an angle Josie couldn't see, extremely childish.
"In short—" Josh took a deep breath, "Since the things have been delivered, I can just take her home." Having said that, he lowered his eyes and stared at Lindsay, "Let's go, brat, Don't thank me too much."
"I'm not going back! The party has just begun!" Lindsay shook her head desperately, completely forgetting her original plan to live in Josie's house by virtue of being homeless.
Josh didn't allow her to refuse, and once again slipped the petite girl up with one hand.
Lindsay had no choice but to look to Josie for help.
Unexpectedly, Josie wiped her mouth gracefully, then nodded and said, "You really should go back, Lindsay, you are not old enough to wander around in the middle of the night or go to parties."
Lindsay was suddenly very depressed, lowered his head and said, "Okay..."
"But if you have time tomorrow afternoon, you can come to my house to play." Josie smiled in Lindsay's renewed eyes, "and my friends Brittany and Stacy, I think you should Like them."
Of course she would love it!
That's the trio of "Leading the Coquettish"!
Lindsay nodded hurriedly, and bid farewell to Josie reluctantly, and then left under Josh's "playful" eyes.
After seeing off Lindsay and Josh, Josie cheered up and continued tonight's party night.
The next stop was Fox. Because it was held in the same hotel, I turned left and took an elevator, and I saw Arnon Milkan of Regent Entertainment.
"Good evening, Josie." The veteran Hollywood producer said with a smile.
Regency Entertainment's main partner in Hollywood is Warner Pictures, but it also has a good relationship with other film companies. As an invisible rich man in Hollywood, Arnon Milkan is much more low-key than David Geffen.
It was obvious that Arnon Milkan was here to wait for Josie.
"Hello, Arnold." Josie greeted Arnold Milkan and asked directly, "What's the matter?"
"Talk while walking." Arnon Milkan made a gesture, and the bodyguard he brought automatically dragged two steps back, following behind Josie's entourage.
A group of people walked to the corner, Josie and Arnon Milkan sat down respectively, and the others stood guard on the periphery.
Arnon Milkan opened a bottle of red wine, poured some for each other, congratulated Josie as usual, and then said: "We have to find a way to make those two stubborn guys match next year's awards season."
"Oh?" Josie picked up the wine glass and shook it in her hand.
"Hey, don't be sloppy with me, ma'am." Arnon Milkan shook his head, "You know what I'm talking about. I've seen the first cut of "Fight Club". It's worth at least three Oscars!"
Josie's victory at this year's Oscars undoubtedly inflated Arnon Milkan's ambitions.
He had seen the movie "The Perfect Victim".
Although Josie's performance in the movie was wonderful, she hadn't reached the point of perfection. It can only be said that this year is just the right time, place and people, and she is the most suitable person to win this award.
"The Youngest Oscar-winning actress".
This title is too irrelevant to people in the industry, especially those capital operations that really control the lifeblood of Hollywood.
Commercial value is the most critical criterion for testing Hollywood stars.
And the Oscars are just the icing on the cake. The reason why female stars cannot do without the Oscars in their careers is because in the heavy industry of Hollywood, there are very limited opportunities for them to improve their commercial value. Relatively speaking, it is more convenient for them to become awards. The quick way.
Capital always seeks profit.
There may be a few individuals who are honored purely for their unparalleled talent, but for the most part, the Oscars are less sacred than one might think.
And its advantage is also that it has not completely lost its authority.
Then, with the same thinking, can Edward Norton win the award?
Or, it would be nice if "Fight Club" was nominated for an Oscar for best picture.
Yes, "Fight Club" is not a very mainstream movie. On the contrary, it is full of cult temperament from inside to outside, but it doesn't matter. In recent years, the selection of Oscars is not very mainstream. Whether it can win or not depends on public relations. ability.
For example, "Pulp Fiction" shined at the Oscars that year. Although there were a lot of good films at the time, Miramax helped it kill a bloody road.
And Edward Norton's performance is definitely Oscar-level.
Back to the topic.
Now the problem with "Fight Club" is that among the film's main creative staff, director David Fincher and actor Edward Norton are very resistant to the endless entertainment during the award season. Some resist.
"I know, I know." Josie spread her hands, "but what can you do with me? You know how stubborn the two of them are, otherwise we wouldn't have burned so many films."
The two stubborn guys undoubtedly refer to David Fincher and Edward Norton. When a Virgo director meets a Leo drama lunatic, the immediate consequence is that the film crew spent three times the normal shooting film. Luckily The good thing is that they anticipated this from the start and left the budget in place.
And they often went to the studio together to torture the editor, until Tom Rothman of Fox couldn't bear it and issued an ultimatum, not allowing David Fincher to bring Edward Norton into the editing room again.
Arnold Milkan just smiled and said: "But I know you are a good communicator, and you have an excellent influence on them." Seeing that Josie was unmoved, he had no choice but to add Fire up, "And don't forget, it's your movie, too, and you've got an executive producer deal. It's work, Josie."
"I want to watch the finished film first." Josie paused, then turned her head and said, "Beforehand, they may not listen to me."
Because of the awards season, Josie did not participate in Fox's first internal preview, and only learned from Archie Dano's feedback that this version of "Fight Club" is a bit confusing, but it is still a A film with a unique style and eye-catching eyes.
Fox initially decided to put its release period in October, the fall file before Thanksgiving.
This is a relatively weak movie schedule.
The previous summer file has harvested the most important and long box office of the whole year, followed by the holiday file with a lot of good movies, so most commercial blockbusters will not choose this time frame, it is more popular with those low-budget horror films And the favor of Austrian movies that will soon join the awards season package.
Is Fight Club breaking out in the fall?
Josie frowned, and couldn't think of much about the box office trend of this movie, but she only needed to know that it was very profitable, because the box office was only a part of the movie's revenue, and "Fight Club" was undoubtedly famous in film history masterpiece.
Originally, Arnold Milkan was worried that Josie didn't want to take care of this matter at all. On the one hand, this is not a good thing that is easy to please. On the other hand, she has just finished the awards season, and it is time to enjoy the glory. Fly abroad for a vacation, or find a handsome guy to fall in love with or something.
Instead of taking care of those two difficult guys.
Hearing what she said now, Arnold Milkan was temporarily relieved, because he was always satisfied with Josie's work attitude, and her reputation was also trustworthy.
"Then it's settled. I'll let Tom arrange the second internal screening as soon as possible." Arnon Milkan said.
"Well, it's best within these two weeks." Josie reminded.
She really wants to take a vacation for herself, find a refreshing and pleasant island, turn off her mobile phone and computer, enjoy the sea breeze, dive, and enjoy delicious food.
However, her itinerary did not allow it.
Loving work is not the most difficult thing, persistence is the key to making people better.
The Oscars are far from the final chapter of his career.
