Chapter 258
For an ordinary, professional pool boy, this "Jon" doesn't have to take off his clothes, but he takes off his clothes so deliberately that the seduction is carved on his forehead for fear that others will not find out.
More importantly, Josie remembered seeing him, at that party in Las Vegas.
She sent a message directly to Kelly to deal with the matter, went back to the restaurant to eat her brunch slowly, and flipped through today's newspaper by the way.
In less than half a minute, Kelly replied with an "OK" message.
Ten minutes later, the pool boy passed the garden outside the restaurant window for the third time with his upper body on.
Josie raised her eyebrows silently.
She doesn't look like the kind of ... wealthy widow who would be raped, right?
Moreover, this sexy bomb with a height of more than six feet and the face of an American quarterback is really greasy. Even if he wants to rely on his personal charm to get something from Josie, it is obviously impossible to succeed.
Young men and women with beautiful appearance and desperate to climb up have never been a scarce resource in this deformed circle.
And where did he get his confidence? Can he be more handsome than Leonardo DiCaprio, or cooler than Keanu Reeves?
After another 5 minutes, the pool boy finally got his chance and stopped Josie before she went upstairs.
"Ms. Horton, I'd like an opportunity," he said, straight to the point. "A chance to be in your new movie. I'd do anything for it."
When he said this, his deep blue eyes were sincere and focused, his half-length hair was dripping water, and the hair on his chest was full of presence, which should be very sexy in the eyes of most people.
However, Josie was not among them.
And she didn't like the way he was.
□□?No, that's totally not okay.
So Josie put down her chopsticks, sat at the table and raised her eyes, and said, "No, you have no chance. And you were fired."
The pool boy smiled slightly, his handsome face showed the expected expression, he took off his hat in salute to Josie, and walked out without saying anything.
However, when Josie went upstairs to her study, she heard Dorota's frantic shout from downstairs: "Oh, you Shet! How dare you pee in the swimming pool! I XX you XX..."
Wow--
If Dorota can be forced into such a situation, dismissal is definitely not enough, let's go to the one-stop service of complaints and police!
What, the LAPD tube doesn't care about this?
Every year, Josie donates money to LAPD. Is it too much to send a policeman to arrest people and go back to squat for two or three days?
Not too much at all.
Josie just didn't want to provide a shortcut to the other party, and the swimming pool at home was destroyed by someone in the blink of an eye. If she didn't get angry, it would be thought that she was easy to bully.
Among other things, industry banning is indispensable.
——Qiao Qian really never thought that the first time she used power would be like this.
Because this is no longer a problem of the swimming pool or the house, but a problem of face as a human being.
Pulling the curtains of the study, Josie thought about changing the house. After all, the swimming pool was too intimidating. She decided to move to the hotel temporarily for the next two days.
Putting this matter aside for a while, she sat down in front of the computer and started a new day of work.
The first is to deal with their work email.
The casting of "Secret Agent Belle" went smoothly. Paul Walker, the high-quality and low-cost actor, has signed a contract, and everyone is happy with the result.As for the director, Sean Levy is already working on the sub-camera design;
"Like Heaven" is a little more troublesome.
John Cusack was considered to be the leading actor, but before signing the contract, the other party's agent said vaguely that the schedule did not match and declined the project.
After inquiring, it turned out that he was cut off.
Sony Columbia cut the beard, John Cusack will be the male lead, and Julia Roberts will star in a romantic comedy, and they even invited Josie to play the female lead's sister, a domineering, dissolute and conceited woman. star.
After receiving the news, Martha Miller, who has always been calm and calm, was furious. On the contrary, Josie, the person involved, responded calmly. She even called Sony Columbia's Amy Pascal herself, as if she declined the invitation without any grievances.
Then turning her head, Josie still waved the small leather whip, urging the rest of the crew to continue working.
So they had to start casting again.
The progress of "Like Heaven" was too slow after it was given the green light, so Fox was in a hurry, and this time the casting had to consider bigger stars.
Casting director Mary Fine recommended Keanu Reeves, who has returned to the top due to "The Matrix", but on the one hand, he has no schedule recently, and on the other hand, Fox does not want to use it.
This point can be traced back to a few years ago when Keanu rejected "Speed 2" and almost left over the historical issues of Flop. In short, he is now backed by Warner, and the relationship with Fox can only be said to have not yet broken the ice.
And Josie is obviously unwilling to interfere with Keanu's decision for Fox.
In addition, Matt Damon and Ethan Hawke were reconsidered, and they even wanted to add super big names like Tom Cruise to the shortlist, but were blocked by Susan Levine.
So their production meeting went back and forth, and it ended up being back to square one.
The final decision was left to Josie herself.
However, while she was reading her mail, Nora Efron popped up a small window on TT.
-Edward Norton's agent replied that he has a schedule, and I think he is currently the most suitable actor candidate.
- Are there any other candidates?
- Or, my personal conservative suggestion is Paul Rudd.
Fox's Art Linsen is not young, and he is not used to the new instant messaging software. He called directly and asked, "I heard that Edward Norton is willing to join this project? I have to say, this should be the first thing I heard today. The best news, what are you still hesitating about?"
It's clear that Fox, the publisher, doesn't like another conservative pick.
In other words, someone has already quietly cleared the path to victory, leaving only a natural optimal solution.
But the question is, is Josie the kind of person who plays her cards according to reason?
Josie turned around and called Edward Norton himself.
"Oh, yes, I heard that you haven't been able to find a leading actor in your new movie for a long time. I think I'm quite suitable, so I recommend myself—you won't be angry, will you?"
"Why can I be angry?" Josie asked back.
The topic was almost taken away by Edward.
"Emmm, maybe I should call you before this, because you don't seem to want me to join." There was a little grievance in his voice.
"No, that's not the case." Josie just asked, "Do you have a schedule recently?"
Edward had already prepared the answer: "Of course. The post-production of the film is coming to an end soon. I have time to go to Italy with you. Why don't I have time to take the film?"
Josie said: "But I don't think it is suitable for us to cooperate again in the near future."
To be honest, "Fight Club" has a bit of stamina.
For a long time, she unknowingly condoned some of Edward's behaviors, just like Mara's extreme tolerance of the male protagonist in the movie.
So Josie is deliberately avoiding cooperating with Edward, because she is an actor who can easily empathize with the character, and Edward is absolutely focused when working, and can ignore everything when he becomes addicted to drama.
They all know that it is difficult for each other not to extend some of the emotions in the play to the outside.
Moreover, this movie is destined to be a classic, and the male and female protagonists will also be two influential movie images. The successive partners and cooperation will not only make it easy for the audience to play, but also easy to get bored.
But Edward was prepared, and immediately retorted: "You invited Gerald to audition for another movie, which is not fair."
Josie let out a chuckle, and replied, "Interesting, you actually care about this. I thought you only needed to speak with strength."
"If that works." Edward didn't think that Josie didn't know what his team was doing, but he acted candidly enough, "I just hope that you give me a fair chance to compete instead of treating me in the first place." Say 'no'."
His tone was very sincere, and there seemed to be a hint of melancholy mixed in, but it seemed that it was just Josie's own illusion.
Josie thought for a while and said, "Well, I promise to seriously consider your proposal."
"So, when will there be an answer?" Edward asked.
"Don't worry, sir." Josie replied, "According to industry practice, within three working days."
Hang up the phone and answer the email.
An hour later, Josie's Venice red carpet shirt arrived. It was a long dress with thin straps and metal sequins tailored for her by designer Tom Ford.
This year, the Italian brand Gucci that the designer worked for was almost taken over by LVMH Group hostilely, so he had to ask PPR Group to become a white knight in order to dilute the Gucci shares held by LVMH Group, which ensured the independence and normal operation of the company. .
It can be said that although the plan to control Gucci failed, Arnault, the leader of the LVMH group, is definitely the one who knows the capital operation best in the luxury goods industry.
Because the story of his entry into LVMH is already an excellent financial textbook.
Learn from it.
In addition to this skirt, a week's trip to Italy will inevitably require more than a dozen looks, some of which come from the series released by the Queen Mother in spring and summer this year. Josie likes the design of this season very much.
Since falling out with the C family, Josie no longer charges for her red carpet looks, which gives her a higher degree of freedom in dressing, and also makes many brand PRs rack their brains more to get her to wear their clothes.
Even the C family lowered their arrogant heads.
Because the relationship between Hollywood stars and these luxury brands is exactly the opposite of that of another continent more than ten years later, the stars are the ones who have the initiative to improve the brand's style and increase its influence.
Instead of brands gilding stars.
So, in this circle, weakness is the original sin.
When you are not popular, you can casually smear people and withdraw your endorsement. When you are popular, if you slap one side of the face, the other side will reach out and ask if the hand hurts.
The taste of power is just so fascinating.
Compared with this, falling in love is too disappointing.
"I know, I promise that I will go for a checkup after I come back from Italy, don't worry, I will bring you gifts then...Okay, let's do that first, I'm going to get on the plane."
"Everyone", not "you".
One word is enough to explain that Josie's short-term interest in Keith has basically disappeared.
Gerard Butler, who was also on this flight, overheard Josie calling the phone, silently looked away, and obediently returned to his seat and sat down.
This was really because he didn't want to provoke Josie Horton, a crazy woman, after all, there were too many beauties in Hollywood.
ahh-
This "again" is very spiritual, but who can guarantee that they will not be temporarily shaken by her pretty face?
At least Gerald asked himself, and he didn't refuse to be pressed against the wall and kissed very firmly - that experience was quite memorable.
Maybe this is the man.
Most of the time, their bottom line is that there is no bottom line.
