Chapter 238
In the evening, Josie went to meet Baz Luhrmann, the director of "Moulin Rouge", and Heath Ledger, who might star in the movie with her. The three talked about the script and had dinner together.
—and then the conversation fell apart.
First of all, Josie couldn't understand the heroine Satine.
It’s fine for Satine, who appeared as a gold digger, to risk her dream of becoming an actor, but suddenly fell in love with the down-and-out writer male lead. When the two broke up halfway, she was humiliated by the male lead in various ways, including but not limited to rushing to the stage to get money. slap in the face...
Very good, substitute Satine, Josie wants to play the tear-off hero.
What's even more exaggerated is that Satine actually sang on the spot and begged the actor's forgiveness—forgive? EXM? ?
Heath apparently also thinks the hero is an idiot.
He doesn't even think that the hero has real love for the heroine, at most it's just a momentary infatuation, completely without trust, grace, and sense of responsibility.
A full three NO!
"With all due respect, Christian (the leading actor) is a complete jerk, why did Satine fall in love with him?"
Well, one sentence made Baz Luhrmann directly block Hiss, thinking that he could not resonate with his own creation at all.
Josie was treated a little better. Baz Luhrmann thought that she had the flashy temperament of being a luxury, but she lacked some parts of being crazy about love.
In the end, he euphemistically stated that before the official shooting, the film needs a lot of song and dance rehearsals, and he hopes that Josie will have at least eight months of free time.
That is of course impossible.
The key problem is that Josie has already felt that the script of "Moulin Rouge" is not suitable for her. She is more suitable for the route of femme fatale, rather than being crazy about love or forbearing for love.
Josie flew to New Jersey on Tuesday.
She read the script on the plane, and was a little surprised to find that the main plot was familiar to her, but she couldn't tell the specifics-this was obviously the predecessor of the script of a movie.
So as soon as Qiao Qian landed, she asked someone to contact the screenwriter to buy the script, which was not expensive anyway.
The new apartment was furnished, just as she had imagined it would be.
Dorota even helped her adopt a corgi with an uneven coat color. Josie originally wanted to call it "Aristotle" or "Socrates", but it was rare that Dorota was very tough He dismissed the opinion, because the little guy is a naughty little princess.
In the end, its full name is "KitKat.'KK'.Szadkowski".
Well, what a perfect family~
It's a crisp Thursday morning.
Eric Forman was in good spirits, changed into the doctor's white coat in the locker room, and started a new day's work with a new tie. As soon as he entered the door of the group office, he saw his colleague Robert Keith, who was in a bad mood recently. Checking medical records and preparing for ward rounds.
"I think something good happened today." Forman helped.
"Maybe." Keith, a young man with beautiful blond hair and blue eyes, asked, "What about others?"
"I was dragged away by the dean just after punching the card." Forman replied.
What they are talking about is the big boss of the hospital, Gregory House. This is a genius doctor with an eccentric personality. It is undeniable that his professional ability is extremely outstanding, but he also offended the former chairman of the hospital board of directors because of his rebelliousness. Almost got fired.
In order to keep him and his team, Lisa Cady, the dean of Princeton University Hospital (PPTH), took away the former chairman of the board who was dissatisfied with House, and the other party took away a donation of [-] million US dollars, which directly led to Recently, the financial situation of the hospital was very tight and had to start laying off staff.
Both Forman and Keith were members of the medical team headed by House.
Besides them, there is a female doctor named Alison Cameron, but unfortunately, Cameron resigned not long ago.
God, within a hundred miles, there is one less human being who can tolerate House!
——Thinking about it this way, the two doctors couldn't help but miss their former colleagues.
Maybe it was because their missing was too sincere, or maybe they hadn't drunk their first cup of coffee this morning. They were just about to leave here to go to the ward when they saw Cameron appearing in the corridor as usual in his overalls.
Cameron was accompanied by an unfamiliar face in full armor. He was a tall, slender, blue-eyed boy. The mask and black-rimmed glasses covered most of his face, revealing only a pair of blue eyes with thick dark circles.
She looked familiar to Keith.
"You came just in time." Cameron kept walking, turned around and walked towards the ward together, "Let's gossip, anyway, I'm back to work. And, this is our new colleague——"
"Elizabeth Masterson." Bi Yaner beside her quickly said her name, seeming a little nervous.
"Yes, Elizabeth, she will follow our group within this month." Cameron continued, "She is still a college student, and she is writing a topic about doctors, and she will watch our work next."
"What?" Forman looked surprised, as if to say: What is this—are you kidding me?
He couldn't help taking a look at "Elizabeth Masterson", trying to find traces of a medical student in her.
But obviously, she looks more like a reporter engaged in the media, or a novelist or something.
And as we all know, although PPTH is not as good as the Princeton University Medical Center, it is also a very professional general hospital, and the students of the medical school have to squeeze their heads even to do odd jobs here.
The blue-eyed girl took the initiative to explain their doubts: "Actually, this is my graduation project, and my father donated a small sum of money to your hospital for this."
OK, great billing ability.
And this also solved the dean's urgent need, otherwise, he would not have used his trump card to make House obedient, and agreed to take over the layman who is currently aliased as "Elizabeth Masterson" and enter his medical team.
Cameron also added: "That's it. For this reason, the dean reduced House's consultation time this month. Oh, by the way, he arranged for you to take her in the next month."
She looked at Keith as she spoke.
Although Cameron doesn't know what happened, House has indeed been blatantly targeting Keith recently.
However, since House made the decision, others cannot question it, so the addition of newcomers cannot be changed. Cameron only hopes that the next month can be passed smoothly.
"Oh, I knew..." Keith admitted, but the kind-hearted blond young man still nodded at the newcomer, "Hi, Masterson, I'm Robert Keith."
The dark-skinned Forman had no choice but to say: "Eric Forman."
"Hello, Dr. Keith, Dr. Forman, just call me Elizabeth or Sissy." Elizabeth Masterson, that is, Josie, kept a polite and unfriendly attitude, "Don't worry, the next one Please treat me as a transparent person."
Forman was not very accepting of this statement, but Cameron seemed to be partial to this wealthy daughter named Elizabeth Masterson, and once again took the initiative to smooth things over.
And the direct "victim" Keith acted dispensable, anyway, he is very clear that he is still guilty of the crime with House, because in the last incident, it was Keith who informed the former chairman of the board of directors, As a result, House was caught.
While speaking, a group of people walked quickly to the ward, and the three doctors immediately entered the working state, completely forgetting the gold-plated "Elizabeth", until all the wards in charge of the team on the entire floor were inspected, and the doctors who had been talking about the condition did not Think of today's newcomers.
Turn around.
I saw her holding a portable notebook and thinking hard, standing in a corner of the office almost silently.
Cameron couldn't help saying good things for the newcomer: "Look, she's not bad, she shouldn't affect our work."
Forman was noncommittal.
Kisto glanced at the young girl, who was subconsciously poking his face with the cap of a ballpoint pen, as if he had encountered some century-old problem.
However, he didn't need to take the initiative to say anything, but he didn't object to Cameron's arrangement of the rookie next to him.
Because compared to this, how he should continue to stay in this group is the biggest problem at present...
The leader of this group, Dr. House, knew the true identity of Miss Elizabeth Masterson.
In fact, he was the first person in the room to meet the rumored Hollywood movie star Josie Horton.
Do you want to experience life in order to make a film?
When he first heard about this unbelievable gold-plating plan, House thought that there might be something wrong with the dean, and suggested that the dean go for an inspection, but the other party directly showed him the financial statement for this quarter and the list of upcoming layoffs, and said It's all about keeping the mess their group left behind.
The cold-faced and warm-hearted House has a million points of guilt.
"It's only a month." Dean Cady informed House without refusal, "She will bring at least three large donations in the future—I don't think you want to extend the consultation time, do you?"
"I can't do this job." House still has a bottom line.
"I'll cut your time down to two hours," Cardi made her offer. "I might even agree to take a break from your appointment if you can convince her to help us raise money."
Well, this damn capitalist society!
House's bottom line succumbed to the dean's coercion and lure, and decided to throw the trouble to the trouble.
Just like now, after the group discussion about the illness, House called on Keith directly: "You compare the virus samples—take her with you."
"...But there are five thousand samples." Keith almost thought he heard it wrong, compared to bringing a newcomer with him is just a trivial matter.
"Do it." House emphasized, and then turned around and left.
Cameron looked up, and sure enough, there were still 5 minutes before the off-duty time, so he had to give Keith a sympathetic look.
Keith spread his hands helplessly, but he still had to do it.
However, because it is almost time to get off work, they can go to lunch first. Forman and Keith are about to find out how House brought back the resigned Cameron. The newcomer Elizabeth left with a wink, obviously not I plan to enhance my relationship with my colleagues through lunch on the first day.
Forman couldn't help being curious: "I always think she's weird, and isn't it uncomfortable for her to wear a mask all the time?"
"It is said that she has severe allergies on her face." Cameron explained according to House's statement, "She may be worried about scaring us, so she went to lunch by herself."
"You really know the newcomers well." Keith was also puzzled.
Cameron continued to explain: "She is quite pitiful. It is said that there is only one living relative like her father, but the relationship between them is also very ordinary, and they only use money to solve problems."
"I also really want to be solved with money." Forman muttered.
Cameron gave Forman a disapproving look, and said, "And I met Dr. Wilson this morning, and he specifically asked me to take care of her."
"She knew Dr. Wilson?" Keith said, so why didn't Elizabeth go to Dr. Wilson's oncology department.
"Dr. Wilson's cousin works for Elizabeth's family. As for why he didn't take her with him, I think it's because the oncology department doesn't have as many intractable diseases as we do here."
Forman and Keith glanced at each other, apparently not fully accepting this explanation, but their curiosity about the newcomers stopped there, and they were more concerned about what happened to Cameron.
"Tell me, did House beg you to come back?"
"Why did he beg you?"
Gossip does not distinguish between men and women, and information exchange is human nature.
Despite House's repeated confession, Cameron was asked by the two about House agreeing to go on a date with her in exchange for her returning to work, but it was obvious that the date that night was not successful, because the next day Cameron came to work with his eyes swollen.
But that was all later.
