Chapter 216
"Yeah—" Leonardo shrugged, "I guess Titanic has a hard time with Kenneth Turan, he's always bad-mouthing every movie you and I and Jim makes .Even Jim's TV series, which has not yet officially started filming, are described by him as "a parody of superhero comics. Is Fox preparing to make a TV version of X-Men? For God's sake, I personally have no opinion on such movies and Tired of TV!'."
He imitates the critic's sarcastic tone so well that he can't help but burst out laughing.
"Oh, I know about that TV series." Josie shook her head helplessly, and said, "Jim had planned to shoot a Spider-Man movie before, but due to complicated copyright issues, he didn't approve the project, so he deleted, deleted, and revised the original script. Changed it and made a TV series of "Dark Angel".
The reason why Josie can understand this project so clearly is that SKY TV got the second round broadcast rights of "Dark Angel", and Jessica Alba is also a very good actress, at least for action movies In terms of.
Don't think that this is nothing special. In fact, action stars are not only a scarce resource in Hollywood, but also at the top of the industry's pyramid.
Leonardo interjected: "Speaking of which, Columbia wanted me to play Spider-Man, but I rejected it. I recommended Toby to them."
"What a coincidence, they also looked for me." Josie rested her chin on one hand, "I recommended Brittany."
"Spider-Man" is undoubtedly a heavyweight IP in American comics, but it is clear that neither Leonardo nor Josie is interested in superhero movies-at least not for the time being-they want more challenges and creative roles.
Josie and Leonardo chatted at the bar for a while, and other people at the party frequently talked to the best actress tonight, and Leonardo's presence made this otherwise unobtrusive The place has become the focus of everyone, and the combination of two of the most popular stars in Hollywood at present has the effect of being invincible.
Not far away, Arnon Milkan noticed this scene, clinked glasses with Tom Rothman next to him, and muttered: "Maybe we should find them two to make a movie, even if the combined salary exceeds 4000 Ten thousand."
Tom Rothman smiled slightly, raised his glasses, and said helplessly, "Sony Columbia has made it increasingly difficult for us to pay big-name stars."
"Ha, but they're worth it." Arnon Milkan said, as if he didn't hear Tom Rothman's complaint.
—He wouldn't have such an affair with the head of a major studio, that would be stupid.
The party went on until three o'clock in the morning, and Josie ended her day's torment and was about to get in the car and go home to rest.
But Eve and the others actually have another one. They made up their minds not to get drunk or return tonight. Even Kelly joined the ranks. It seems that everyone has accumulated a lot of pressure during this period of time.
Josie got in the car at the entrance of the hotel. Before leaving, Eve handed her a cup of hot chocolate, "Look, everyone loves you."
"I look like a walking Franklin, don't I?" Josie took the drink and laughed at herself.
"Then you are also the most beautiful Franklin, baby." Eve waved her hand, "Have a good dream, tomorrow will be a brand new day."
"I wish you all the best of luck." Josie also waved goodbye.
She closed the car window, lowered her head and sipped the hot drink with just the right temperature and bursting with sweetness, feeling a little warmth in her heart.
The Oscars are over.
But her journey continues.
The next day was a brilliant sunny day—a glorious one for any Californian weather.
Josie fell asleep, and it was almost noon after waking up, but she still dealt with personal hygiene first, then drank a green milkshake that tasted unflattering, and warmed up and swam in the swimming pool in the yard.
For a long time, she has conducted systematic training twice a week, and has at least two hours of exercise time every day, regardless of any form, but she prefers swimming or boxing, and yoga is also acceptable.
Brittany had recommended a very popular yogi in Beverly Hills to Josie, but Josie was really offended and uncomfortable with the fact that a middle-aged balding Indian man only wore briefs to teach, but Shi Daisy's quick words got Brittany to ditch her expensive yoga classes for weekly excursions instead.
And Josie finally hired Sarah Ivanhoe, who has obtained a yoga teaching license for less than five years, as her next yoga instructor. The other party was recommended by her senior sister from New York University for an interview. She also graduated from New York University. .
Keanu Reeves came to visit at 08:30 in the morning.
Dorota who opened the door is very familiar with this popular star, so just ask him to go to the backyard to find Josie.
Keanu thanked him, walked through the lobby and restaurant with long legs, and saw Josie coming up from the sparkling pool through the French windows of the restaurant, golden water marks falling along her smooth body, those muscles The lines are tight and smooth, containing countless efforts and sweat, as beautiful as a work of art.
Josie picked up a big towel while turning on the hands-free phone.
"Thank you for your concern, Frank, but I really don't want a gift, let alone a party." Josie gestured to Keanu who was walking towards her, "I won't tell you, my Friends are here."
Keanu returned her no problem gesture, walked to the pool and took the towel naturally, and helped Josie dry her hair.
"Wait, you haven't answered me yet, what do you want that piece of land for?" Frank Horton asked over the phone.
"Of course it is to build a house to live in, my dear father." Josie replied naturally, "Maybe you are willing to sponsor part of it? In this case, I can consider leaving you a room with a great view."
sponsor?
Hehe, this little bastard spent millions of dollars just to buy the land. I really don't know what kind of mansion she wants to build on the cliff at the edge of Malibu beach!
"I won't bother you, goodbye." Mr. Horton seemed to be temporarily deaf.
Josie didn't care, she just threw the phone away and fiddled with her wet hair.
Keanu turned her hand back and continued to brush her hair, attentive and meticulous, looking very skilled.
Oh, and let's not forget that he grew up with his grandmother, mother, and sister, so it's no surprise that he would do this.
The famous California sun is warm on her body, but Josie, who is very New York, doesn’t enjoy this. She usually puts on enough sunscreen for herself, and occasionally hides in the shade of a parasol, stingily letting the sun quietly Kiss her toes.
Dorota brought them two drinks and took Keanu's work.
Keanu took a sip of Dorota's holiday special and was amazed by its taste: "Awesome! Mint, lychee, and sea salt soda? Oh, it reminds me of Hawaii, thank you very much."
"You're welcome, Mr. Reeves." Facing the big star, Dorota was calm, and her movements were not affected at all.
——Almost forgot, what she loves is Arnold's super tough guy.
Simply Keanu didn't expect to get an answer, and followed Josie's example, leaning on the recliner relaxedly, and stretched a lot.
"I've read the script of "Beautiful Secret Service"." Josie turned over and said lazily on the recliner, "The idea is very good, but the character design of the completely stupid big sister is not suitable for me, so Martha wrote it. The memo asked them to make a slight change."
"Beautiful Secret Service" is a joint project between Warner Pictures and Village Roadshow, and Village Village is a film production company from Australia that established a partnership with Warner last year.
The name of the company might not seem all that famous, but its origins become clear when it comes to the upcoming premiere of The Matrix.
The career crisis in the past few years made "Saint" Keanu learn a lot and make a lot of changes. Obviously, he realized that if he wants to change the rules, he must first grasp the power.
Roadshow Pictures is one of the empires he built.
It's just that compared to Qiao Qian's relationship with Tianji Films and Tianxiu Films on the surface, what Keanu did is much more hidden. Most people don't even know Village Roadshow Pictures, a local Australian company, has long been involved. Change the door, after all, Hollywood has gathered too many film companies.
As we all know, with the loss of collagen, Josie's bones have become more heroic, which dilutes her sweet temperament and makes her aura even more amazing.
This is a good thing for stars, but not for America's sweethearts.
Fortunately, she and her team are not obsessed with the sweetheart character, and hope to make her a more feminine image.Therefore, the tone that Martha set for the role of the FBI female agent is straightforward, tough on the outside and soft on the inside, with a strong sense of justice and competitiveness—oh, she really deserves to be the daughter of a playwright.
During this period of time, the role of the female agent in Josie's team was more like a manager, but the real manager role has been replaced by Archie Dano, which made her in a period of time There was some confusion during the time, but I quickly adjusted my position and continued the previous working state.
Creating an A-lister herself is exciting enough, but to Martha's surprise, Josie's success is greater than she could have imagined.
The point is, for Josie, all this is far from the real end, but the beginning of another challenge and opportunity.
Oh, I have to say-
As a workaholic and a part of perfectionist, it is really difficult for Josie to make those around her feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, because she never stops walking, and her eyes never look back.
It's really... firm and charming.
So Keanu looked at Josie's side face, smiled lowly, and replied, "Actually, I prefer you to take over this project yourself, but I didn't expect to be rejected."
Without raising her head, Josie snorted before saying, "Then your confidante will hate me even more."
When she first fell in love with "Secret Agent Belle", Warner was already doing preparatory work with Village Roadshow Pictures, and besides her, Sandra Bullock, who was also popular, also noticed this project.
According to the head of Warner's production department, it is of course inclined to choose Josie Horton, who is now in full swing, as the heroine. There is nothing questionable about this. Hollywood film companies are all begging this big star to make a movie.
The problem is that Mark Lawrence, the producer of "Secret Girl", had a happy cooperation with Sandra Bullock before, and Sandra Bullock has always had a good relationship with Warner Bros. Her own screen The image is also very consistent with the carefree heroine in the script.
Fortunately, another producer, Bruce Berman, after watching the trailer of "The Trap", thought that Josie would be a more surprising choice, and also a choice with higher commercial value.
Under his insistence, the crew went back and forth to hold several meetings for the heroine candidates. During this period, there were cases such as Cameron Diaz's attempted amputation, and Sandra Bullock's initiative to lower the price... But none of these With the box office of "Perfect Victim" of nearly 1.5 million US dollars and the crown of Oscar queen, Josie finally got the role, and her Tianxiu Films got the ticket.
And she herself will serve as the producer of the film.
