Chapter 237
For the sake of the pre-wedding party, in the end all the members were present and went to the MGM Hotel in a mighty way to watch a wonderful aerial show.
Josie looked at it seriously, but she didn't pay attention, and occasionally showed a pensive look.
The reason why I came to watch this show is because of the "Moulin Rouge" that Fox is preparing. The heroine in the script is the headliner of the Paris Moulin Rouge show. There have been many more artistic improvements than the film's era, not just stimulating the senses.
After the show, the nightlife in Las Vegas continues.
Josie couldn't figure out where they got so much energy. In comparison, she was a retired old man.
However, the "retired old man" still didn't waste the nightclub jersey prepared for him by another assistant, and that night he parachuted into another nightclub that invited Josh Jones to perform.
Josie and Rashida walked into the backstage, and saw their friends puffing and puffing in the lounge, whether it was Josh, who was in charge, or Mark Ronson, who decided to make music in the future, and Samantha Ronson, two siblings.
Josie declined to comment.
Musicians in both the UK and the US seem to be like this, smoking and drinking is the norm, there is a long list of drug overdose deaths, they don’t have much awareness of protecting their voices, and their private lives are also very chaotic - rolling circles can be even more chaotic, It seems that there is also a proper term called "27club", so don't expect the integrity of these second generations to be high.
"Do you want it?" Samantha noticed Josie's gaze, "Extra alcohol version of Marlboro, absolutely 'no additives'."
Mark on the side helped Josie refuse, saying: "Forget it, she never touches these things except when it is necessary to make a movie—how are you, little monster, I heard that "The Trap of Stealing the Sky" sold nearly [-] million box office."
The global box office of "The Trap" is higher than those data analysis agencies initially predicted, 2.9 million, 1.2 in North America + 1.6 overseas. Although such a result is not comparable to Warner's "The Matrix", it is enough for any film company to run non-stop Start preparations for the sequel of the project.
Archie Dano, who is in charge of this project at Tianji Films, also has the idea of striking while the iron is hot.
Recently, he fell in love with a script about two thieves that was being circulated on the Internet. He bought the copyright and asked some Hollywood screenwriters to modify it. He planned to come up with the basic story line of the sequel first.
"Fine—" Josie pushed up the big sunglasses she was wearing, with a smile on her face, "How are you, my friends?"
"Not bad," Mark replied, and offered to greet his ex-date, "Hello, Rashida."
"Hey Mark, you look pretty good." Rashida smiled back.
"Wonderful if you could come," Samantha said. "I heard you had a great time at XS last night?"
Josie smiled, and it seemed that this matter could not be passed for the time being, "That depends on what your definition of the state of 'hi' is."
"Oh, this expression is very boring." Samantha understood instantly, and turned her head to ask Rashida: "Tell me, which lucky one has our dear Miss Horton favored recently?"
Rashida spread her hands: "Unfortunately, there is no such person."
So Samantha asked Mark, who was putting his legs on the sofa: "That's too regrettable-brother, do you want us to have a hunk package for Joe tonight? Emmmm, but you and Josh None of them are macho, we have to find someone else.”
"Fxckoff." Mark refused without thinking.
"Tea or coffee?" Josh asked, who had just changed into his costume. "There's also chicken salad sandwiches and vegetarian pizza."
He has just changed to a new stage costume designer recently, and is shifting from hip-hop style to more cool electronic dance music. The gorgeous and exaggerated black rhinestone suit obviously has traces of imitating MJ, and even the hair color has changed back to relatively normal black.
"Tea is fine. Thank you." Josie looked at the dress a few more times.
The cool guy who couldn't help himself on stage poured everyone a cup of English black tea, and put a beautiful golden teaspoon on the tray.
Strictly speaking, among the five people present, only Rashida is an authentic American. Josh, Mark and Samantha were all born in England.
As for Josie... she's just white-skinned and yellow-hearted.
"David is very excited." Josh sat down and talked with Josie about "The Lord of the Rings". Small party."
"It's a pity that no one invited me." Josie joked.
When the "Lord of the Rings" project started casting, David Bowie intended to play Elrond, the elf lord of Rivendell, but director Peter Jackson thought his superstar temperament was too stealthy, so he finally chose the extremely Hugo Weaving, an Australian actor with a cult temperament.
However, David Bowie’s dream of the Lord of the Rings was not completely shattered. He got a special opportunity to play the role of Sauron, the big boss of the trilogy with only a few seconds of frontal shots, but his role in the whole film is crucial. .
In addition, Josie also stuffed a lot of people into the Lord of the Rings crew, such as Brad Renfro, who was not in a good state of mind during this period.On the one hand, let this popular youth idol go to Hobbiton, New Zealand, which is isolated from the world, to change his mood, and on the other hand, let him play the role of Glorfindel, the lord of the Golden Flower family.
So far, both things have been going well.
"If you have time, we'd love to have a party for you alone."
"Forget it. What I lack most recently is time. I'm going to work in the hospital after I'm done with Stacey's wedding."
"Hospital?" X4
"Yes, I got a new movie." Josie explained a little bit, "I play a doctor in it, of course that won't be the point, because it's just a romantic comedy."
"Wow, that's great, Ms. Ann is a big fan of Mr. Sweetheart, but she doesn't really appreciate your award-winning performance."
"I thought you would strike while the iron is hot and make a sequel to "The Trap of Stealing the Sky"."
"Of course a sequel will be done, but also I need some fresh characters..."
Josh's performance in the evening was a success.
The screams at the scene almost overturned the roof, and many male and female fans came, especially when he sang the first part of the magic single "Titanic", it attracted a chorus from the audience.
The two Rong Sen took turns to be in charge of the live DJ job.
The last night was over, and Josie and his party flew back to Los Angeles early the next morning to prepare for Stacey's wedding ceremony at Greystone Castle.
Everything went well on the wedding day.
Except for one thing that made the more emotional ladies at the scene a little sad when they saw the news feed: John F. Kennedy Jr. was killed in an air crash and buried at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean with his wife.
"It's such a shame, he should have been the most fascinating president in the world."
After the wedding, Josie packed Dorota and old John and sent them to Princeton, New Jersey to settle down, and she had to stay in Los Angeles to meet some people.
Visited Cameron’s home on Saturday, and James Cameron recommended a girl to her to audition for the heroine of “Dancing Out of My Life”, Jessica Alba who starred in “Dark Angel”;
I met with PTA on Sunday morning, and chatted about the script called "Wild Love" that he is currently conceiving. In the afternoon, Josie went to Tianji Films for a meeting, mainly busy with the preparations for the upcoming Venice Film Festival. This year they have two films that will participate in the exhibition, the cult classic "Fight Club" and the adaptation of social events "Boys Don't Cry";
I went to Fox early on Monday morning, watched the final film of "Fight Club" first, and then had a meeting with the team in charge of the film's announcement. What exactly did the staff say.
This made David Finch that day extraordinarily well-behaved and sensible.
"Don't worry, I will definitely watch the translation and subtitles myself." The director turned his head and promised Josie while walking into the elevator room with Josie and the others.
In the morning meeting, the people from Fox gave them a wonderful foreign language subtitle, which was said to be carefully "crafted" for the film's Venice premiere.
David Finch felt something was wrong.
Then, Josie was the first to fire the person in charge who asked for credit... because the translation of this version was really insincere, just at the level of "I am Odinson" or "You old man" up.
"It's better like this, I don't want the movie to be ruined by laymen." Josie's expression was still not good, because she didn't think about the team sent by the publisher Fox, and those people had such an attitude towards "Fight Club" Perfunctory.
It can even be said that the vast majority of people on this team think that this movie is incomprehensible, disgusting, filled with a lot of violence and gore, and it is a bad movie destined to lose money.
These people can't understand the spiritual core that "Fight Club" wants to express, and naturally they can't treat the film's publicity work correctly.
"I'll let Archie temporarily take over as the person in charge until Fox finds someone who really understands movies."
"The problem is that he can't necessarily control the people who have Fox."
"Trust Archie, he'll take care of it."
"And you will also be accused of playing big cards." David Fincher said sharply.
"So what?" Josie didn't care, and asked calmly.
David Finch had no choice but to shrug his shoulders, not to ask this question that Josie's public relations team should worry about. Anyway, it has nothing to do with him, as long as nothing happens to his hard work.
With a ding, the elevator arrived at the parking lot.
As soon as the elevator door was opened, David Fincher saw a middle-aged man with an unremarkable appearance waiting there holding a script.
"Miss Horton, please wait a moment!" He shouted, but was blocked by Jason with his body, so he could only hold up the script in his hand, "I wrote a wonderful script of The Thief, maybe you are interested in reading it ..."
David Fincher couldn't help sighing, "Hey, buddy, do you know how many people in Hollywood want the lady next to me to read their scripts every day? You should follow the process and send the script to her agent."
"I tried it, but... In short, this script is really suitable for you. I tailored it for you after watching "The Trap of Stealing the Sky"."
"Tailor-made?" Hearing this, Josie stopped.
"Uh, yes, you can say that." The man seemed a little guilty, "But I can swear to God, this is definitely a good script, and I know you are preparing for the sequel of "The Trap of Stealing the Sky"."
"Maybe you should read it?" David Fincher said a good word in passing, although he didn't think that this middle-aged man who was not doing well could write any earth-shattering good scripts, because the industry of screenwriting depends entirely on talent Have a meal.
I didn't get ahead before the age of 40, and I basically have no hope in this life.
Josie meets such directors, screenwriters, producers, etc. who recommend her works every day.
Each of them is confident that their work will step on Steven Spielberg, punch Alfred Hitchcock, and usually find ways to appear in any business reception or private party that she will appear , and even restaurants and other public places.
Over time, Jason went into a state of full alert whenever he saw this kind of person.
But today she seemed to be in a good mood, and said, "Okay, sir, I will read it. Jason, get the script."
Watching the big star drive away from the car in the parking lot, the screenwriter who has been in Hollywood for nearly 20 years finally breathed a sigh of relief: But if Josie Horton still can't do it, he should probably put all his eggs in one basket and write the script Put it on the Internet... That might win him a certain amount of attention.
