Chapter 278
Josie took a Halloween candy from the tray on the bar, peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into Leonardo's mouth in front of her, saying, "Okay, you've already eaten my candy, so don't make trouble."
Leonardo rolled up the piece of candy with the tip of his tongue. It tasted like strawberry milk, and it tasted pretty good. He raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean, is it going to be real this time?"
Josie didn't answer, but asked instead: "It's really interesting, I just said a word, if I say another word, are you going to guess that I want to get married?"
"That's not true. At this point, I believe we are equally sober." Leonardo snapped his fingers to the bartender on the side, asked for two glasses of wine, and raised his glass: "Let me think about it, respect We'll die alone together—?"
"It sounds more like a curse." Josie was annoyed and funny, but she toasted Leonardo with dignity, leaned against the bar and looked not far away, "Look, he's here. But Jim Unlike those guys in Hollywood, don't freak him out."
Leonardo first glanced at Josie with a half-smile, but didn't immediately say yes or no. Instead, he followed her gaze and saw the 'Lawrence Oliver' in the crowd.
I saw the dark-haired Italian beauty coming through the crowd, as outstanding as Moses divided the sea, wearing a black and red Italian gendarmerie uniform, a black military cap and white gloves, and a black high school uniform. The military boots made his already slender figure look taller and cannot be ignored.
Surprisingly, at the lively bar party scene, the expression on his face turned out to be a bit solemn and upright, with a kind of indifference that was incompatible with the surroundings, but it complemented the black military uniform on his body.
Leonardo couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
Wow, let's be honest, this guy is really handsome to the point of astonishment, even in Hollywood where there are so many beauties, people can spot him at a glance.
This is because he has a very peculiar personal temperament, as if it should not exist in the world, and the ice and snow melt between his brows.
Some people may not like this kind of cool-tempered highland flower, but it is obvious that Josie next to Leonardo likes this kind of thing-she even offered to reach out her hand to him!
In this regard, as a man, Leonardo has subtly grasped Josie's current state of mind, which is the kind that he himself takes away the hottest and sexy girl at the party every time...
So Leonardo, who is also known for his appearance, put on the most chic smile on his face. After that "Jim" approached them, he immediately reached out his hand: "Leonardo DiCaprio, I want Have you heard my name? Nice to meet you, Sicilian friend."
Jim kissed the back of Josie's hand very naturally, and then said: "The "Titanic" you collaborated with Josie is a cross-generation classic, Mr. DiCaprio, I am also very happy to meet you .”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Josie subconsciously, and Josie held her forehead helplessly, shook her head and said, "My good friend Leo, a 'Peter Pan'."
"Hey, don't think I don't know you're mocking me for not growing up!" Leonardo yelled, but his eyes fell on the hands of the two still clasped, and he said, "Just call me Leo, Jim. —Can I call it that too?"
"My pleasure." Jim touched the brim of his hat and smiled faintly at Leonardo.
Heck!
This is a bit too handsome, at least he has 80.00% of his skills... Wait, this is not an experienced playboy, is he?
I have to find a way to remind Xiao J alone.
Leonardo complained in his heart, but on the surface he smiled brightly and exited with a wink: "Okay, Jim, I leave my dear Ms. J to you for the time being, I hope you have a good time tonight !"
Good friends, of course, should act as each other's wingman at the most appropriate time, instead of doing some stupid things to tear down the stage—right?
Thinking of this, Leonardo still felt a little strange, but when his small group called him, he instantly forgot about the strangeness.
"Come on, Leo!"
Lucas Haas beckoned, and after Leonardo received several small notes with phone calls along the way, he finally met.
"What's wrong?" Leonardo threw himself into the booth sofa.
As soon as he sat down, two young girls who didn't know if they were brought by the Wildcat Gang immediately surrounded him, cuddling softly on his left and right sides, with affectionate eyes.
The other girls took a step back, secretly hating.
"Your nine o'clock direction, did you see it?" Tobey Maguire exchanged glances with Lucas Haas, opened a bottle of cold beer and handed it to Leonardo, "It's definitely your dish , Leo."
Leonardo took the beer, clinked glasses with Toby and Lucas, looked in that direction, drank the wine, and asked, "New face, who is she?"
"Miss Hilton Group." Lucas laughed, hugged a hot girl next to him, and bowed his head: "Sweetheart, you go and invite Miss Hilton to come over, just say that Leonardo wants to know her... "
On the other hand, after Leonardo left, Josie ushered in an unexpected visitor.
"Hey Josie, you're amazing tonight!"
Harvey Weinstein of Miramax opened his arms and wanted to hug her as if he couldn't see Josie's resistance.
Josie smiled coldly, and poured the wine in Harvey Weinstein's face without hesitation, "Are you more sober, Harvey?"
"Oh, it's better." Harvey Weinstein smiled instead of anger, and wiped the alcohol on his face, "Thank you for inviting me to drink, it would be better if the method was not so rough—this man yes?"
He looked at Jim who stood in front of Josie.
"It has nothing to do with you." Josie shook her head slightly at Jim, showing an expression of impatience on purpose, "There are things to talk about, you know there will never be friendship between us."
Harvey Weinstein said, "Don't be so absolute, Josie, although I really don't understand why you hate me so much, after all, I don't think I'm the most notorious person in the city."
"You still have ten seconds," Josie said.
Harvey Weinstein shrugged, and then he had to get to the point: "Cooperation. I'm here for the cooperation between Miramax and Tianji Films."
Josie raised her eyebrows and put down the cup in her hand.
Harvey Weinstein continued: "I've seen your movie "Boys Don't Cry". To be honest, the performances of the two actresses are Oscar-level. We can cooperate and win-win. And, encircle and suppress That 'American Beauty'."
He kept the volume of the last sentence so low that it was hardly noticeable, but the smile on his face was very confident and determined.
In fact, Harvey Weinstein would not have wanted to find Josie Horton, a spoiled little girl, if it hadn't been for not wanting to be confronted by enemies, and Miramax and Tianji Films had no conflict of interest for the time being.
But there is no way, Miramax is responsible for this year's "The Cider House Rules" and "The Talented Ripley", which showed a decline at the beginning of the awards season, but DreamWorks is aggressive in order to avenge its shame , almost all the heavyweight awards were booked in advance.
It has to be said that the "American Beauty" released by DreamWorks is indeed a neat work that is very in line with the tastes of the academy judges.
Harvey Weinstein's Olympic experience is rich, and his vision is even more vicious. After watching this movie, you know that it is very likely to win the two acting awards of this year's best actor and actress.
The key point is that the two films released by Miramax are not very good-looking. In terms of performance awards, only the best supporting actor can win one or two, but if the awards in the acting department fall completely, then "American Beauty" is the closest. The best picture and best director are almost out of pocket, and DreamWorks is likely to succeed in revenge at the Oscars.
This is exactly what Harvey Weinstein does not want to see.
Last year, he just used "Shakespeare in Love" to prove his ability to control the wind and rain in the Oscars, and gave the Big Three of DreamWorks a resounding slap in the face. It cannot be said that he is not complacent.
This year, he wants to continue to reproduce the routine of "Shakespeare in Love", and he has even prepared the trump card to discredit his opponent.
It's just...he can't use this trump card by himself.
Otherwise, it is easy to cause public anger.
At this point, Harvey Weinstein is rarely sober, perhaps thanks to his brother.
Back to the topic.
Therefore, Harvey Weinstein approached Josie Horton, known as the "Hollywood Moral Citizen", and told the other party in a vague manner: "Hilary Swank is definitely worthy of an actress, but Annette Bening's Qualifications and connections are something she can't beat, and if Tianji Films wants to win, there is only one way."
As he spoke, he looked at Josie, and Josie seemed to have fallen for it, and asked, "What can I do?"
"The way is to ruin the movie itself." Harvey Weinstein lowered his voice, "I know you and Lucy have a good relationship, as long as you ask her to help publish a photo on the front page, I can guarantee that no matter what Both "American Beauty" and Annette Bening are doomed!"
——And you have to hurt your muscles and bones.
It is true that copper smelting is an unforgivably sensitive topic in this society, but don’t forget that Disney, the parent company of Miramax, is where those people gather.
If Josie Horton really dared to reveal this news, then she would most likely arouse public anger. Although she would not be completely banned, she should be unable to move an inch in the circle.
It's as if everyone knows that there are unspoken rules and red sofas in the circle, but bringing these dirty gray areas to the public will only arouse dissatisfaction and criticism from many people.
rather than change.
When Harvey Weinstein mentioned his wonderful "good idea", Josie almost didn't laugh out loud.
Obviously he wanted to make trouble, but he didn't want to take the blame.
But the problem is, Josie doesn't want to, not to mention that she secretly gave Miramax the pot!
"I think you've got one crucial point wrong—" Josie figured out what he was playing, and she wasn't going to waste time on this disgusting old white man, "To be honest, I and Lucy is really unfamiliar, and Tianji Films is only a small company, but it doesn't have the ambitions of Miramax."
Talk nonsense with your eyes open!
"you sure?"
"of course."
"Very good." Harvey Weinstein suddenly darkened his face, and said word by word: "Very good, I hope you won't regret it."
"If it's useful to speak harshly, then you would have stepped on the Sixth University." Josie snorted slightly, raised her chin and said lightly, "Goodbye, Harvey, you can get out of my sight."
Harvey Weinstein couldn't figure out what was wrong with his win-win plan.
But since the matter was screwed up, he had no interest in continuing to humble himself in front of that damn bitch—yes, he thought he had been very humble just now—so he left with a cold snort, and even made a sarcasm Take the host of the party, Lucy Spiller.
Although Lucy didn't lose out in terms of words, she was still a little confused, so she came to find Josie after a little understanding: "Honey, I heard you made Harvey crazy?"
