Chapter 253

"Jason, are you taking amphetamines again?"

As soon as the plane landed, Josie frowned at Jason who was across the aisle.

Hospital life, which lasted less than a month on and off, not only allowed the young actress to find an effective way to play a resident doctor, but also knew so many addictive prescription drugs that a mere glimpse was enough for her to tell them apart .

And she herself is the type who avoids taking medicine as much as possible and insists on exercising, self-discipline and food supplements to maintain her health.

"Oh, yes, I have a doctor's prescription." Jason chose to tell a part of the truth, "Some minor problems will not affect my work."

Well, although no one around her touches things they shouldn't, she's not very sensitive to the dangers of such prescription drugs.

This is also the status quo of the general public in this society.

Josie stopped short and didn't ask Jason about his little white pills, but just reminded him: "If you feel unwell, you can take time off to see a doctor or ask us for help, OK?"

"Good boss." Jason agreed happily.

The Lord of the Rings crew.

The lead actor Elijah Wood sat down on a stone by the side of the road, raised his face to let the makeup artist touch up his makeup, looked at Viggo Mortensen beside him, and said, "Hey, Viggo, I heard that Alright, your elf princess is finally joining the group!"

"You mean 'Josie Horton'?" Viggo Mortensen turned to look at Elijah Wood, and smiled faintly, "Stop pretending, I have something to say, what do you want to ask."

Elijah Wood laughed twice and asked, "Did you see her during the audition? How is the real person? Is she pretty?"

Viggo Mortensen didn't make a fool of himself, and replied directly: "I've seen it before, she is the kind of big star with a strong aura, very beautiful."

"Viggo said she was beautiful, so she must be beautiful." Billy Boyd, an actor who had just finished his makeup on the other side, came over, "Thank you Jesus, you Christ, I feel more and more Calcium, it's great to have an actress in the group."

There is one thing to say, the protagonists of the Lord of the Rings crew are almost all male, except for Cate Blanchett who plays the elf queen Galadriel and Miranda Otto who plays the queen of Rohan Iowen.

However, Cate Blanchett married young and Miranda Otto was famous, but this did not prevent them from expecting these two ladies to appear on the set every day, because Monk Temple is really too miserable.

Why doesn't PJ know how to match men and women and work without getting tired?

So this group of young people in their prime - by the way, Ian McKellen, who plays Gandalf, also considers himself one of them - heard that the popular Hollywood actress Josie Horton will enter The group filmed the scene belonging to the elf princess Alwen, and everyone couldn't help but get restless.

On the one hand, they have been shooting here for too long, and they have hardly seen a few women, especially women who are so beautiful;

On the other hand... Josie Horton is single!

After Elijah Wood finished talking to Viggo Mortensen, he ran to the hotel room after work to tease newcomer Orlando Bloom, who was selected by PJ to the crew a few days after graduation.

"Orlando, Josie Horton will join the group tomorrow!" Elijah Wood, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, suddenly leaned on Orlando Bloom's shoulders, scaring the latter to quickly close the script in his hand, "Aren't you love?" Dead her Titanic?"

"Really? Where did you get the news from?" Orlando Bloom turned his head, and the light-blond wig made his handsome face several times more lethal.

As for Elijah Wood mentioning that he loved Titanic to death - what young man who loves movies hates Titanic?

Even Ian McLean went to the cinema to see this movie, twice!

Elijah Wood patted Orlando Bloom on the shoulder, and said, "Don't forget the coordinating schedule, buddy, I still have a solo scene with her. Do you need me to get your autograph? , or take a photo together?"

"Fuck you!" Orlando Bloom cursed with a smile.

At this time, Ian McLean poked his head out of the door and asked with a smile: "Guys, do you want to go to the bar in the town tonight?"

"I can't, I have a show tomorrow morning." Elijah Wood shook his head.

"Oh, I know, our Alwen is here, right?" Ian McLean walked into the room and sat down at a random place, "Interview, Ollie, are you excited? Are you surprised? ? Are you happy?"

Orlando Bloom, who was almost confused by the question, couldn't help but scratched his head, and replied slowly: "It's...it's okay. After all, I haven't left the campus a few months ago, but now I can work with you , It was still a fantasy epic like "The Lord of the Rings". I really feel that all this is like a dream."

Elijah Wood patted his chest and added with a smile: "So, even if Josie Horton appears in front of you now, it will only make this dream a little more unreal, won't it?"

"What are you talking about?" Brad Renfro who was outside the door came in.

"Hi, Brad, you came just in time!" Elijah Wood recounted the conversation just now, and asked Brad how he felt.

Brad was speechless, and said, "You better not let Josie know that you are so crazy, otherwise she will definitely let PJ deal with you."

This popular youth idol has very few roles in the Lord of the Rings crew. Sometimes he hikes in the mountains, and sometimes he returns to the set to do some field work, so he got to know the leading actors of the movie early .

"No way, so harsh?" Elijah Wood murmured.

Brad laughed twice, glanced at several people in the room, and said, "No, the problem is, if Tom Cruise came to visit the crew, would you care whether he is handsome or not?"

"Oh, I'm quite concerned about when he will come out of the closet." Ian McLean laughed and embraced Brad, "Don't worry, Brad, I promise these little guys will behave themselves tomorrow .”

Brad shrugged, "To be honest, Ian, you are the one that worries me the most."

Ian McLean laughed out loud.

Most of the crew were very excited for Josie's arrival, and this mood lasted until the day after she finished jet lag, she officially joined the crew and began to put on the appearance of an elf princess.

"very perfect!"

Seeing Josie in a robe slowly walking into the studio, PJ took the lead in applauding, and directly snatched the camera away, deciding to take her own makeup photos.

"A little lower chin, great!"

"Right, that is it!"

"So beautiful!"

"Change the outfit, let's continue in a while!"

Click, click, click, put on makeup, make a shape, and then take a photo of the makeup, half a day has passed.

In the middle, PJ asked everyone to rest for a while, and came over to ask Josie, "Can you still rehearse this afternoon?"

Josie took a sip of water and gave PJ a no problem sign.

PJ nodded, arranged a car to take Josie and her party to the other side of the set, and was thinking: Oh, I almost forgot that this big star is still a workaholic, great.

Kelly took Josie's cell phone and whispered to Josie, "Ms. Merrill's calling."

Josie took her mobile phone: "Hi, Dina, is the Art Center okay?"

"It's business as usual." Dina Merrill exchanged some pleasantries and asked, "I just heard that Glenn will star in your new movie."

Josie smiled, sitting on the chair with a demure and graceful posture, "There is such a thing, Ms. Cross has done me a big favor."

Glenn Close is one of the few actresses in Hollywood who can compete with Meryl Streep. At the same time, her grandfather Edward Bennett Close was also the first husband of Dina Merrill's mother.

It seems that the relationship between them is a bit complicated, but in fact Glenn Close and Dina Merrill are good friends. After all, the former is a famous acting school from Broadway, and the latter has a lot of investments in Broadway. ladies.

It's just that the circle of high society in New York is a bit small.

Dina Merrill laughed twice on the phone, then asked again: "Then what about the leading actor?"

"The casting isn't done yet."

"I thought you'd pick the Rouse boy."

"He's not the right fit, and Ed isn't available."

James Rolls, legendary figure who founded the Rolls Construction Company from scratch, and grandfather of Edward Norton.

Obviously, Dina Merrill knew about Josie's love history, but she was not optimistic about Edward Norton's success, because Josie's type of woman does not want so-called love, but a pleasant and relaxing relationship .

To put it bluntly, even if she has a partner in the future, it will only be a good wife.

So Edward Norton -- no kidding.

As the eldest son of the family with high hopes, he didn't even look at the career he had planned long ago, only for the acting career he loves.

He's a play lunatic.

Josie ended the call and left the studio.

The one who drove over was Brad Renfro, who had nothing to film today. He seemed to be in good spirits, and he tried his best to wave at Josie and the others before he even drove up to him.

Josie got into the car, and a bunch of people got together and inevitably had to say hello.

"Hey Brad, are you driving again today?"

"Yes, PJ counted my daily salary."

"How is your collection style? Have you written a good song?"

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't rush, don't rush."

"Okay, let's go to the No. [-] studio. PJ and I will take the next car."

"Okay, shall we go first then?"

"dog Dog Dog!"

With PJ's urging, Brad skillfully drove the six-seater battery car on the road with a smile on his face.

"Good job, Brad," said Kelly, who was sitting on the sidelines.

"Of course. I heard that you've got a promotion and a salary increase now?" Brad laughed, turned a beautiful corner, and then asked Josie, "What about you, jet lag?"

"I was fine yesterday." Josie said, "How do you feel about New Zealand?"

Brad smiled and said, "A paradise, suitable for seclusion."

Josie raised her eyebrows and glanced at him.

Brad sensed Josie's gaze, and without looking back, he continued to ask, "By the way, what about Los Angeles?"

"pretty good."

"Gone?"

"What else do you want to ask?"

"Like, how's Brittany doing?"

"Thanks for your concern, she is dating Paul."

"Which Paul?"

"Paul Rudd."

"That's good, he's nice."

The topic ended, and the car just stopped on the set.

Brad got out of the car to help with the things, and he didn't forget to tell Josie: "We have a welcome party for you at the only bar in town tonight, will you come?"

"Okay, I'll go." Josie didn't refuse.

Whether as the behind-the-scenes boss or one of the leading actors in the movie, she should attend this party.

PJ used the helicopter to pull the two leading actors who played opposite the elf princess out of the mountain to rehearse with Josie.

——Many of the film crew’s locations are in deep mountains and old forests, and it’s basically impossible to get in with 101 and cars alone, so they can only use helicopters to commute to and from get off work.

There was not much time on the first day, and they only went through the rival scenes a few times to find out the feeling, and the second day began to officially start filming.

In the morning, just for one shot of Arwen getting off the horse, he went back and forth to adjust the lighting, but the final shot was only three shots.

Judging from the final samples, PJ has a good sense of atmosphere in shooting beauties.

Arwen came to rescue Frodo, and by the way picked Aragorn's beautiful butt and chin with the tip of his sword. There was almost no difficulty in these literary parts.

The difficulty that the film crew envisioned was Alvin's horse riding scene,

Before filming this scene, Josie had been familiar with the horse for three days, going to see it at a fixed time every day, giving it snacks and grooming.

The equestrian coach of the crew explained the main points back and forth, and then personally demonstrated the action design to Josie. The aerial photography route is especially important, because the shooting method is too expensive, and it is best to do it all at once.

On the ground, the cameraman carried the machine and followed the shots in the car. PJ would dismantle the whole scene into several shots, large and small, and finally edit them together.

In addition, the special commissioner of the third-party film completion insurance company is already in place. If possible, in fact, the last thing they want is for the star to come and shoot this kind of scene in person.

Because of fear of accidents.

If something goes wrong, you have to lose money.

Especially big stars like Josie Horton, and big crews like The Lord of the Rings, will have to pay a lot of money if they delay the filming.

uncomfortable.

The insurance commissioner asked his assistant to turn on the handheld DV, and at the same time focused on watching Josie mount the horse, and silently prayed for the actress in his heart.
