Chapter 257
After Downey and Susan left together, only Josie and Keanu were left in this unremarkable corner, chatting casually while drinking.
"How have you been recently?" Josie asked.
"Same as usual." Keanu took a sip of his whiskey. "Wake up, sleep, ride a motorcycle, meet friends, read a book or watch a movie, sleep or exercise. And you, how are you doing?"
Josie leaned on the sofa cushions, and replied a little bored: "That's it. In addition to normal work, I went to experience the life of a resident doctor for two weeks, and then found that it was probably impossible for me to become Daniel Day Lewis II. "
Keanu lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, and asked again: "Have you met anyone?"
"Emmmmm——" Josie frowned slightly, still a little distressed, "I guess there is."
"Is it?"
"Because I don't know if that counts together, and now it's a thing of the past."
Keanu took a look at Josie, sighed softly and slowly, and said, "Listen, Josie, I know it's easy to lose interest in things that are at your fingertips."
"You're right about that," Josie admitted. "And then? What do you want to tell me?"
Keanu paused, and silently looked at the young and beautiful girl in front of him. She was favored by the heavens too much, and there was a natural dignity and arrogance in her eyes.
The men came to her one after another, like moths to a flame, knowing that this high mountain flower is difficult to conquer, but they just want to conquer it.
He hesitated for a moment, but still said: "What I want to tell you is that with too many things at your fingertips, life will become more and more pale, so we need to be more attentive and sensitive than others to capture those beautiful moments. "
Qiao Qian was noncommittal, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why, you want to pour chicken soup for my soul?"
"Haha, that's not enough." Keanu smiled and said sincerely, "It's just that you sometimes remind me of my younger self. And, as your friend, I hope you can enjoy life instead of treating yourself like a child Like your new toy, enthusiasm at first, followed by an insatiable void."
Josie tilted her head to look at Keanu and said, "I'm sure this is the time for you to be unlikable, great philosopher, and I remember you had a lot of one-week girlfriends when you were young."
"You also said that it was all when I was young." Keanu replied very frankly, "So now, I devote myself 100% to each relationship until the heart-pounding feeling is completely disappear."
It sounds like the two of them have a similar approach to their relationship.
But the key point is that Keanu is fully committed, while Josie just wants to get it, so the former is the best ex with 100% praise, but the latter's actions can easily hurt others and herself.
Just imagine, the lover you are fascinated by, even crazy about, you are just a dispensable episode to the other party-how can people accept it calmly?
Moreover, the current public opinion environment is already more harsh on women.
It's really ridiculous to say that couples who seem to be compatible can be seen everywhere in Hollywood, and a long-term marriage is the most precious luxury, but people in this circle even play the same trick of humiliation.
Some rumors even reached Keanu's ears, so that he was sitting here discussing embarrassing relationship issues with Josie like an old father.
Josie avoided talking, blinked and said: "I am also very young now. Although I have almost forgotten when was the last time my heart beat."
"Oh, that's a shame," Keanu said. "So, it's about stress relief, right?"
"I think so." Josie spread her hands, "I've always been very frank with them—we each get what we need and comfort each other. I always think that work is my true love."
Having said that, she couldn't help but think about how she treated Dr. Keith.
- Well, I don't want to think about it now.
For her, once the hot flashes that attracted her attention disappeared, it meant that the people who interested her had faded away and became mediocre.
And she has her own scoring mechanism in mind.
Not targeting anyone, just an example:
[-] points for blond hair, [-] points for well-bred, [-] points for humor, [-] points for cooking and washing dishes, [-] points for white shirt...
Five points will be deducted for not washing your hair, ten points will be deducted for tight pants, ten points will be deducted for growing a beard...one hundred points will be deducted for forced marriage.
When the points were deducted, her patience ran out at the same time.
"...Your professionalism is really amazing." Keanu shook his head and laughed, "But it's also good, you work hard when you are young, and you can enjoy a leisurely retirement life when you are old."
He is not the type to force others to accept his views, so the conversation on this issue is exhausted.
After all, as Josie said, she is still young.
She is already so obedient, she doesn't smoke, drink or touch narcotic drugs, even if there is a slight flaw in the way she treats her relationship, it doesn't matter, right?
As long as she is happy herself.
Josie agreed with this point of view, and turned around and asked, "So, do you have a schedule recently?"
Keanu froze for a moment, and then replied, "Is this your new movie? Sorry, Josie, I've already made an appointment for a minor operation, and I won't be able to film for at least three months."
"It's okay, I have Planb." Josie asked again: "Is the operation okay? I remember you had an operation last year."
Keanu opened his mouth and was about to speak when he was interrupted by a sudden commotion at the door.
It was the famous Cruise couple in the dock who arrived.
Tom Cruise is holding the glamorous Nicole Kidman on his arm. Just from his appearance, he can't tell the shadow of the gossip circulating in the city: the marriage of this powerful couple is in a major crisis, and even the divorce has already passed. was put on the agenda.
Nicole smiled and gave Josie a gentle hug: "I heard that you will also go to the Venice Film Festival and walk the red carpet at the opening ceremony?"
"No, my schedule is quite tight and I won't be able to catch up with the opening ceremony." Qiao Qian said, "Congratulations to your "Eyes Wide Shut" for winning the award."
"Thank you, but even for the sake of Kubrick's posthumous work, the organizer will not let us leave empty-handed." Tom Cruise began to boast commercially with a smile on his face, "I have watched " The trailer for Fight Club, which also features a lot."
This year's Josie Horton is really too strong, which also makes Tom Cruise occasionally rejoice for the favor he gave at the time, which not only suppressed Paramount, but also made his signature series of films, more A super popular actress cameo.
Although it is precisely because of this, Paramount's Shirley Lansing was scolded again.
Hollywood has no secrets.
During this period of time, Fox's successive actions have made everyone in the circle see that Murdoch has already been one step ahead and personally went off to recruit Josie Horton, who is in full swing. In fact, Fox has been fully rewarded very quickly. .
A female action movie "The Trap of the Sky" broke out in this year's blockbusters, which directly led to the recent emergence of Hollywood projects about thieves and theft. Josie Horton has also become a box office harvester in the eyes of all film companies.
God, how many years has this monster officially debuted?
Not only did the statuette come into the bag without any risk, but even the beginning of the first blockbuster series?
Tom Cruise can be sure that there are countless people in town who are praying that her next "Fight Club" will fall to Waterloo.
Even...his beautiful wife might be one of them.
—Nicole almost lost Moulin Rouge.
And Nicole smiled and said at this time: "I will testify to this. He also asked people to buy the original novel, which is really rare for Mr. Cruise."
Tom Cruise looked at his wife, smiled and said nothing, with white teeth and a handsome face, what a perfect Mr. Hollywood.
——The Hollywood superstar was dyslexic as a child, and was unable to graduate high school and read scripts for a time, until someone introduced him to "believe in science."
Josie didn't seem to notice the episode of the Cruise couple, her smile remained unchanged: "Oh, really? I think Chuck (the author of the novel) will be very happy."
Talk, talk, keep talking, while keeping your brain engaged all the time.
Sure enough, Josie still didn't like any party. After the end, she always brought a double exhaustion debuff. She had to wait for a whole day at least.
But if you want to move across Hollywood, expanding and maintaining your network is an indispensable part.
Unless one day, Josie's status in the arena can be like that of old Jack, De Niro and others, maybe she will be able to enjoy her old age happily.
It's another Monday.
Qiao Qian, who woke up at 03:30 in the morning, fell asleep at 45 o'clock, and opened her eyes at [-]:[-] in the morning.
She covered her face with her hands to slow down, then glanced at her mobile phone, got out of bed and stepped on a pair of soft-soled silk slippers, and after taking care of her personal hygiene, she went downstairs in a daze.
Downstairs restaurant.
Dorota was watching "Doctor Who" that she missed last night, and she kept wrapping shrimp dumplings in her hand, her movements were very skillful.
A few years ago, she could still work as a nanny. Later, with the development of Josie's career, professional assistants and housekeeping companies took care of most of the chores in the house. Except for half a month in Princeton, her The life of a housekeeper has become more and more like an old age.
What can Dorota do?
I can only study various cooking skills, and find something to do for myself when I have nothing to do.
Fortunately, her young lady still likes the food she made by herself very much, and she is quite happy to continue to work hard in cooking, and gets an unparalleled sense of accomplishment from it.
Just like now, there is porridge stewed in a pot with just the right heat, and a small cup of stew next to it has been simmering for two hours, while the central processing table is full of shrimp dumplings made by herself, and there is a day-shift helper by the sink Keep your head down and continue to pick the shrimp line.
I really hope that Miss can eat a little more today. You must know that her appetite has not been very good recently.
Just as Dorota was thinking, she saw Josie in a silk nightgown walking into the kitchen. Judging by the light in the room, her face was still a little pale.
"Dorota, what can I eat?" she asked leaning against the door.
Dorota looked at Josie, put down the things in her hands, "Have some porridge first, your complexion is not very good."
She went to wash her hands, but when she turned around, Josie had already picked up a small bowl, made half a bowl of porridge from the pot, and was holding the bowl and blowing gently.
Josie was not interested in the TV show, but was watching the pool boy who was working in the yard, and asked casually, "Who is he? I remember that Benjamin, who scooped up the pool for me, didn't have six-pack abs."
Benjamin is a middle-aged, bald and thin unlucky man, but now his colleague is showing off his body enough to be a model without hesitation.
Wow, she even took off her little vest and sprinkled water on the upper body of the first.
scheming.
Routine.
It's too purposeful.
"Oh, Benjamin went back to his hometown to get married." Dorota opened the steamer, put the steamer with shrimp dumplings in, and set the temperature and time, "This one is called Jon, and he helped us change the light bulb in the kitchen last time." , is a good boy."
Josie looked away, but said, "That's not necessarily the case."
