Chapter 285
"Ax? I thought Donald had helped to sweep him out." Frank raised his eyebrows, not thinking it was a good romantic partner, even though they had cooperated in this battle.
To be honest, Frank doesn't think he's the kind of parent with a strong desire for control, but normally, his expectation for Josie is that she can have a stable and healthy relationship, and step into it at a suitable time. marriage.
Instead of finding a husband who would only bring pain like her mother did.
If he was asked to choose, he would prefer that the one Josie brought home would be the type of Matt Damon, which obviously coincides with the views of most American dads.
The children of the Norton family are independent, too lonely, and have the same excessive self-awareness as Josie; Keanu Reeves is not a man who is bound by women, and is suitable for being a lover instead of a lover; as for Leonardo Di Caprio, being a bed partner is barely enough, and he doesn't think he's weaned when he's in a relationship.
For those outside Hollywood circles, the rumored doctor proved the downside of casual dating, and Ax was just too ruthless to start a family at all.
As for the others, Frank carefully prepared her knight for his little princess, subtly arranged by her side, but she made him the finance minister of the new dynasty.
"Actually, Aix did not give up." John Triest reminded Frank, "And my gossip is that dear Sissi has cooperated closely with him, but no one knows about these little things for the time being. What are the guys playing."
Frank smiled lightly and said, "Then let them play. At least I have enough confidence in my daughter, and I'm not the kind of fool who will be cheated out of money by a man's sweet words."
Most women's hearts are always too soft.
Not to mention, one of their relatives is a pretty bad counterexample. The huge inherited property was cheated out by bad ex-husbands, and was once reduced to the laughing stock of the Upper East Side.
Thankfully, Josie wasn't the kind of heiress who worried him at all.
But it is precisely because of this——
Josie had become a very different and good character, with many of the qualities that Frank admired. The girl who had wrapped herself in a hedgehog-like shell seemed to have disappeared from her life.
More and more often, Frank was afraid to even meet her.
He has been suspecting that perhaps due to his own mistakes, he has created a cold-blooded animal that looks more and more like himself.
But isn't this exactly what he expected?
Frank frowned involuntarily, and looked at his lawyer and friend John Triest: "What has Josie been doing lately?"
"As an actor, of course it's filming." John Triest replied, "I heard that they have started dating? Hollywood scandals are true and false. Unless you call and ask in person, no one will know the correct answer."
Frank curled his lips and said expressionlessly: "When you mention to a widower that his only daughter is in a relationship, I have to suspect that you did it on purpose, John."
John Triest didn't care, and said: "Haha, by the way, she set up a charitable foundation, not for tax avoidance, your daughter has a compassionate conscience, this can only be said to be very similar Her mother..."
Josie, who was being talked about, was concentrating on her work at the moment.
With a melancholy and bewildered expression on her face, almost heartbreakingly fragile, she said slowly: "I live in a kind of loneliness that I have never felt before. I can't talk to anyone, I can't touch anyone, and in the eyes of everyone Even before I met you, I was already calculating when I would really go crazy."
"So, when you were talking to me at the cupboard tonight--you could talk to me!--you can imagine my surprise and excitement when I found out that someone could see me?"
"I don't know what's causing it but I just wish it lasted a little longer. You don't understand what it's like, never in my life have I needed to talk and have another person by my side .”
After finishing speaking, she paused, closed her eyes as if she was relieved, and slowly opened them again.
When he opened it again, tears welled up in his eyes.
She plays Elizabeth, a doctor who becomes a ghost after a car accident, and Jim's Arthur is the first and only person to see her for months.
"So, after hearing my story, do you think I'm a lunatic?" Elizabeth asked softly, looking at Arthur in front of her with a clear expression.
At this time, the expression on her face is really touching, carefully mixed with the hope that she hadn't noticed, her beautiful face was slightly raised at a gentle angle, and the color of her pupils showed a kind of aura in the scattered light above her head. Clear and rich blue, smudged with a faint red circle.
For a moment, the room fell silent.
"Very good, this one is over! Call it a day!"
With the voice of Nora Efron, the studio that had been kept quiet suddenly became noisy. The assistants took the shoes and water, the props department was in charge of cleaning up the scene, and the director team was busy making today's Filmed dailies are sent back to the studio.
As a director, the differences between the male and female protagonists of course cannot escape Nora Efron's eyes, but for romance films, they fall in love while filming, and use this feeling to make the scenes more tense , This is really a great thing that makes people happy to see it come true.
— On the contrary, if the performance in the play is bad, it should be a headache.
While Josie was drinking water from a water glass, she and Jim walked towards the trailer.
The latter went back to his side to take a shower and changed clothes, and then came to find his girlfriend. Even her hair was half wet, and she just stroked it back with her hands casually, and her impeccable face became more and more beautiful. Lethal.
Leaning against the wall, he was looking at Josie with those naturally melancholy blue eyes, and said, "When I think about you going away for a few days, I can't help but start thinking about you."
Because of Leonardo's cameo appearance in "Leonardo DiCaprio", Josie needs to go back to Los Angeles to shoot some shots with him. Team B has already rented a mansion in Beverly Hills , has an infinity pool that is enough to satisfy people's fantasies about the luxurious life of Hollywood stars.
By the way, Leonardo would have been willing to "rent" his house in the Silver Lake District of Los Angeles to the crew.
But because it is well known that the big star is stingy, the Spanish-style building purchased with the salary of "Titanic" is not a super luxury house in the general sense.
——At least one of the producers of the crew, Ms. Horton, was not satisfied with this.
Josie sat in front of the dressing table and had her makeup retouched by makeup artist Michelle Baker. She smiled and said, "If you miss me, you can call or text me. You know I'll check my phone when I have time." .”
Jim took down the towel and replied, "Oh, electronics always give me anxiety. I think I'll send you a handwritten letter, and I hope the hotel room door isn't jammed before you get back."
"Don't worry, I will remember to have the room cleaned every day." Josie said, "Speaking of which, how are you going to spend the Thanksgiving holiday?"
Jim shook his head.
He is a native Italian, and Thanksgiving is a holiday in the United States and Canada. More importantly, he has always lacked a sense of ritual for these festivals. In previous years, he even missed his own birthday.
But it's different now.
Jim looked at Josie in the mirror and asked, "I'd rather book you than be alone—so, do you have time?"
Of course there is time.
What's more, Josie still maintains enough enthusiasm for Jim that it is almost impossible to refuse to spend the night with him.
That night, Josie returned to Los Angeles from San Francisco, and Leonard threw a party at his Silver Lake house.
Leonardo said aggrievedly in a milky voice, "It's been a long time since we celebrated our birthday together, dear J, is your Italian lover really that charming?"
A few days ago was their common birthday. Leonardo was partying in a nightclub in New York as usual, while Josie was enjoying the two-person world with Jim in San Francisco.
"Actually, he does." Josie looked at Leonardo. "Besides, I don't really want to be surrounded by a group of hot girls on my birthday. After all, my sexual orientation is normal."
"Then we can call a group of handsome guys!" Leonardo said naturally.
And Josie's response was just to raise her eyebrows, and gave him a gentle and gentle smile - a smile that she was very comfortable with recently.
Leonardo was stunned by her smile, and couldn't help but leaned over and shook her arm, "eon, J, my dear J! We can always spend Christmas together, right? Dasha is already planning the party. "
"Sorry, Leo, I already have an appointment for the next vacation." The hard-hearted Josie still rejected him, "So as compensation, I will give you the Jaguar you have always wanted as this year's— -Christmas gift?"
"Oh my God! How could you tell me now!" Leonardo slapped his forehead and began to look at Josie with mournful eyes.
Speaking of which, Leonardo is also a lover of classic cars. Of course, there are not many men who don't love cars, but the problem is, who likes to be told what the gift will be a month or two in advance?
This is just as heart-wrenching as when a character first appeared in a comic and someone drew a circle on it and wrote "the murderer is him"!
Josie ignored Leonardo's eyes and hooked her lips: "If you don't want it, I can change it to something else."
"Yes, yes!" Leonardo said quickly, and leaned over and hooked Josie's shoulders, "Well, since you're going to give me that Jaguar soon, I think I should tell you something. thing."
"What?" Josie turned around.
"That is: the handsome guys have already called, and they will all be present within 15 minutes!" Leonardo shouted loudly.
Attracted by his voice, Alicia Silverstone on the side greeted Josie first, and then asked, "Oh, God, what are you going crazy about, Leo?"
Josie was a little surprised when she saw Alicia, because this blonde sweetheart who competed with her for the heroine of "Leading the Coquettish" had changed a lot in just a few years.
The facial features seem to be the same ones, but the face seems to be stiff...especially the mouth.
Why does her mouth look a little crooked?
Alicia is no different to Josie. After all, it has been many years since the "Leading the Coquettish" incident, and she is not very career-minded, and she is more enthusiastic about the life of pleasure in Hollywood.
The most important thing is, even if she got "Leading the Coquettish" back then, does she have the confidence to imitate Josie's career and reach the current level?
Apparently, Alicia couldn't have dreamed of it.
If the career development of the two is only a little bit short, there may still be a chance to cause jealousy, but according to the current situation, a normal person does not even have the motivation to be jealous, right?
So Alicia's mind is very peaceful.
