Chapter 233
In this world, other people can never be relied upon.
The underwhelming chorus member figured it out over the course of a few years while she put up with a crack ex-boyfriend, a PR hype mean, plus her own shit producer and all sorts She is a big shot, and finally finds that if she herself fails to seize the opportunity to climb up, no amount of sacrifice will change the status quo much.
It was only a matter of time before the choir disbanded.
Nicole Appleton is not the kind of DIVA-level good voice that was discovered by scouts at the beginning of development. The record company just wanted to be a pop idol group. After failing to test the water, the production of the next album is nowhere in sight.
So she had to find a way out for herself instead of wasting time in a daze.
For the sake of attention, she will expose her relationship with the popular star Leonardo DiCaprio after accepting it at a certain party, even if she is warned by the other party's public relations soon; she is also willing to act as the gangster Josh .Jones' rumored girlfriend, even if the jerk is childish, cranky, self-righteous, unmannered, and potentially bisexual.
But her efforts were not directly proportional to her gains. The two men were almost exactly the same stingy and machismo.
She wants to make money, a lot of money.
I want to be famous more, to become the kind of celebrity star who is watched by everyone.
And the movie "Dancing Out of My Life" is the best springboard for her to find herself. One of the producers, Tianji Films, is only a small company, but the distributor is the famous Fox, and has attracted Universal Pictures. Developed the project together and also had Celine Dion's songwriter write songs for the film.
Even Britney Spears is said to have auditioned, but seems to have failed.
"Sorry, you've found the wrong person." Josie shook her head and said seriously, "I don't care about this, you should go back and talk to your agent, do you understand?"
Nicole Appleton didn't believe it, because she believed that Channing Tatum, the currently selected leading actor in "Dancing Out of My Life", came to power through unspoken rules, and Josie Horton even rejected him for being popular The dancing machine Josh Jones, and R&B singer Usher and others.
Could the stripper-turned-street kid do better than them?
"But Channing Tatum..." Nicole Appleton just spoke.
"It's time for you to leave, ma'am." Josie frowned.
She didn't give Nicole Appleton a chance to continue pestering her, and she just winked at Jason beside her, and the lady was asked to leave here without rejection.
"Hi, Josie." Matt Damon, who had just walked up to the second floor, came over to say hello, followed by the two Affleck brothers, "This is Cassie, the other Affleck."
"Good evening, gentlemen," said Josie.
"Hello, Josie." It was the first time that Casey Affleck met her, and he was quite polite.
"Josie, I heard that you are talking about the "Pearl Harbor" project?" Ben Affleck found a wise topic as soon as he opened his mouth, and passed Matt to Josie, "By the way, I am also I'm going to talk to the crew about signing a contract."
"Oh, that's good." Josie leaned against the railing, her expression confusing in the dim light of the nightclub.
Ben said to himself, "But I heard you're not interested in working with Michael, why?"
"Probably because I can't get used to filmmaking that is completely male gaze." Josie said.
"What?" Ben didn't react, it seemed that it was because the background music of the nightclub was too loud, so he could only get closer to Josie and try to listen.
Josie raised her eyebrows lightly, her sixth sense had already told her what tricks the man in front of her was playing.
So she turned around and took advantage of the opportunity to distance herself.
Those uncommon words attacked everyone at an extremely fast speed, and occasionally a few standard English accents came out:
"Film theorist Laura Mulvey noted in the academic journal Screen that 'some film practitioners are accustomed to assuming that the audience is a heterosexual male, and women are used as props and props to advance the story in the film. Decoration is the projected object in the eyes of the audience about sex.', those visual pleasures about peeping and self-identity are all centered on men, and the lens will use close-ups to focus on women's faces, bodies, etc... ..."
"..." Ben was confused and couldn't hear clearly at all, but this did not prevent him from nodding his head in agreement on the surface, "Oh, I know, this sounds reasonable."
Mark next to him covered his face speechlessly, stepped forward and said, "Okay, that's enough. Josie, what would you like to drink? Can a Martini be okay?"
He noticed that Josie had run out of wine early in the morning, and he also noticed that Josie was teasing his good friend, but he didn't think Ben's tricks would work on Josie.
The girl blinked her cat-like eyes slowly, her body posture seemed a little careless, but she had clearly seen through everything.
But she was saving face, and replied, "Tequila is fine."
That's it for this topic.
Matt called the waiter and bought wine for everyone. Ben still kept on talking, while Cassie was making jokes, but Josie always responded in a nonchalant way, and the atmosphere became more and more strange. .
She is really more difficult to deal with than the rumors.
This kind of difficulty is not the kind of difficulty that some DIVA characters catch horses, nor is it that a certain French actress is extremely emotional and difficult to deal with, but that she is too sensitive and too intelligent, and often a casual look from others has already Let her capture many key details.
It was precisely because of this that Josie felt a little dull.
The tricks of the three men in front of them to attract women are too low-level, and the way they choose to go out at the same time is very stupid. Basically, they are either playing a big adventure or betting.
— This obviously backfired, and even Matt, who looked clean, was a little greasy.
Fortunately, the black-haired young man who looked like Cruise appeared in front of her again. It seemed that he and his friends also came here to play.
Josie, who was leaning on the railing on the second floor, took another look. Tyson Barrow, who had just walked up the stairs, looked up almost at the same time, and his dark brown eyes just met Josie's sight.
In such a bizarre environment like a nightclub, this man is really handsome like a god, and kind-hearted and pleasing to the eye.
"Good evening, Ms. Horton." Tyson walked over against the hostile eyes of some people. The appearance and quality of a top model made him completely unafraid to face the so-called big stars.
Besides, Josie, who was surrounded by big stars, was a little impatient.
"A dance?" Josie held out her hand to Tyson.
"My honor." Tyson was quite a gentleman, letting Josie's fingers lightly rest on the back of his hand.
The two hooked up like no one else, seeing Cassie couldn't help cursing something, Ben couldn't help asking him with a frown.
"It's all right now, pass kill." Cassie said.
"You can shut up, Cassie." Ben pushed Cassie away and grabbed Matt's shoulder. "There must be something wrong with her, man, are you sure she's straight?"
"Ahh—" Cassie shrugged.
Matt was speechless, shook his head and said: "That's the end of the bet. And, I want to end this matter with Winona completely, and it has no direct relationship with other people-seriously, how much wine did we drink before? Make that bad decision?"
The Boston trio finally woke up a little bit from the alcohol, and another handsome man and beautiful woman who absolutely killed the audience in appearance shook their bodies gently with the music, and the distance was not very close.
In the eyes of other people downstairs, this scene is enough to make people dream about.
——This is really too much like the scene where the queen and her male favorites are fighting for favor.
"Kelly, is Josie dating Matt Damon?" The handsome guy who was dancing with Kelly obviously had sharp eyes, "Or Ben Affleck?"
"It's none of your business, cutie." Kelly replied with a half-smile, "Why don't we concentrate on dancing?"
"Oh, of course." Despite this answer, the little handsome boy still couldn't hold back his absent-mindedness, "Speaking of which, I have a friend who is a huge fan of Josie, can you..."
"I can't. Bye." Kelly flew to the other party for a kiss, turned around and got into the dance floor, and couldn't find anyone in the blink of an eye.
It's all because of Stacey's big-mouthed best friend, who was fascinated by male sex just now, bragging about being Josie's friend at other people's booths after a few drinks.
Stacey scolded her on the spot, but the news of "Josie Horton appeared in XS" has spread like wildfire, and by now, most people on the Las Vegas Strip probably know about it.
Kelly planned to go back to her boss without hesitation, but her little handsome guy didn't give up and looked in this direction frequently.
The profession of celebrity assistants is daunting in this respect, because they basically have no personal space, and being on call 7x24 hours is the norm, and many times it makes people feel like entering marriage early.
Luckily, Kelly was well prepared for it before she chose to become a celebrity assistant.
But when she went upstairs, her boss seemed unusually busy.
Wow--
Kelly really wanted to blow a long whistle for the handsome man in front of Josie, and it was absolutely loud.
Looking at that waist, that arm, and that leg, one can imagine that the chest and abdominal muscles in the front are absolutely indispensable, but I don't know if that face can match his top body shape.
However, Qiao Qian only stayed for a moment, waved goodbye to the handsome man, and turned around with the bodyguards to the box.
After a while, Kelly opened the door and came in.
"God, boss, you're willing to leave Mr. Super just now." Her tone was exaggerated, "He's hotter than all the Australian machos combined tonight!"
Josie sat on the sofa and drank by herself. Hearing this, she poured a glass for Kelly and added a whole glass full of ice cubes.
Kelly didn't know why, but took a sip of it, and her whole head shivered from the cold.
"Is your calcimeter out of order?" Josie asked abruptly.
"Huh?" Kelly, who was frowning, raised her head in doubt, but quickly realized that she showed a disappointed look, and after a few seconds, she became regretful, "Emmm, I bow my head, thank you for this glass of wine."
She walked up to Josie, took out her blackberry and pressed the keyboard, and said while sending and receiving messages: "Martha sent a message, you'd better meet the director of "Boogie Nights", Paul Thomas... Anderson, he just finished filming "Magnolia", and he has an idea to talk to you about the next film."
"That's no problem." Josie took away Kelly's glass of double ice and replaced it with a normal alcoholic drink for her assistant.
"The screenwriting team hired by Fox revised the script of the first version of "Like Heaven" with the help of Mark Levi according to your wishes, and they will send someone to your home in Los Angeles. Besides, when you go back, You also have to meet with their Fight Club announcement team."
After Kelly finished her business, she shook her phone helplessly in front of Josie, "Also, we should be leaving. Most of Las Vegas is coming from the nearby nightclubs."
It’s fine to have a famous DJ performance here tonight. Three popular Hollywood stars came here at once, not counting the models, young singers, and [-]-line actors present. It’s like moving Hollywood to Las Vegas. Gas.
In particular, Josie, who has always been low-key, devoted herself to this place, causing a long queue at the door of this already popular nightclub, many of whom were her fans.
