Chapter 288
After filming the scene, Leonardo flew back to New York.
And Josie rushed to shoot MJ's cameo part non-stop.
Due to MJ's health condition, the design of this scene is also much simpler, that is, MJ practiced a dance of "The Way You Make Me Feel" on a whim, and the heroine imitated MJ's dance steps.
The whole process was relaxed and casual, which can be regarded as laying the groundwork for cooperation in future concerts.
Early this morning, when Josie returned to the set in San Francisco, the staff of the crew came to tell her that someone had sent her a food truck.
And there are several bouquets of flowers.
Josie flipped through the card on the largest bouquet of roses, and dialed the private contact number of her investment consultant and partner Aix during makeup time.
"Good morning, Josie, I think you have received the flowers." As soon as the phone was connected, Ax's low voice with a smile came from the other side, "Can I have dinner with you tonight? I have some questions about I want to talk to you about the 'Prodigal Son'."
Josie didn't ask why Ax was in San Francisco, given that the headquarters of Ax Capital is here, but said: "No, I just want to go back to the hotel to sleep after work every day, either on the phone or you come to the hotel see me."
Aix was noncommittal, and only said: "Well, actually, I really don't understand, you obviously don't need those salary anymore, why do you still spend too much time and energy on Hollywood?"
Whether it is the dividends from Skyeye Network or Skynet Media, it is enough to maintain Josie's current standard of living, not to mention that she still has a steady stream of film copyright income and trust funds.
Moreover, her own investment vision is really precise. She sold all the technology stocks before the Internet bubble reached its peak, and swept away enough money in the international crude oil market for ordinary people to spend a few lifetimes. With those time for filming and publicity, it is absolutely possible. It's all over Wall Street.
Josie chuckled and asked back, "Aix, if I didn't have the status of a Hollywood star, would you trust me so easily and still cooperate with me?"
Aix also smiled and didn't answer.
This is one of the reasons.
As a professional trader who controls a huge amount of money, not every client is worthy of his personal reception and long-term one-on-one contact.
The most valuable thing about Hollywood stars has never been their film remuneration, but their extraordinary influence and first-hand information in Blue Star's top social circle.
Aix said briefly: "Find a time, and we will talk face to face."
Josie gave a "hmm" and reminded: "Next time, you don't need to send flowers and dining cars to the crew. After all, our common goal is to make money, not to waste time talking about love."
Ax was silent for a few seconds, then said in a lightly teasing tone, "Oh, you think flirting is a waste of time?"
"That depends on who you're talking about with."
"Ha, aren't you afraid of breaking my heart?"
"The premise is that you have a heart."
"Okay, I'm going to hang up."
"Goodbye." Josie ended the call before him.
Makeup artist Michelle is doing makeup for Josie. Josie's new assistant Ella puts a glass of warm water and this morning's "Now" on the dressing table. The cover is a sneak photo of her and Leonardo during the filming. The heads of the two big stars were put together, and they seemed to be talking and laughing.
By the way, Ella defeated nearly forty competitors one after another, and only then did she get the opportunity to try out as Josie Horton's personal assistant.
To this end, she and her family also threw a house party to celebrate.
In addition to Ella, there is also Debbie who is also on probation. All of them may get assistant jobs, or they may not have the opportunity, depending on how they perform during the probation period.
Ella thoughtfully placed a straw and three fresh lemon slices in the water glass.
"Thank you, Ella." While drinking water, Josie picked up the magazine and flipped through it casually, and said helplessly, "Lucy Spiller, the devil!"
Just because of the party and movie cameo last time, recently, her scandal with Leonardo has frequently appeared in the tabloids. "In love", "Resurgence of old love", "Informed sources" and so on are written more than her own. Obviously, only "Now" dares to tell the truth on the cover.
Josie & Leo: Just Friends!
The accompanying picture is an intimate group photo of the two split from the middle, and there is another silhouette head of a man and a woman above each head.
Josie recognized at a glance that it was Jim on her side, and Miss Hilton on Leonardo's side...
"By the way, this is a model card for a candidate for a fitting." Debbie at the side came over with a folder in her arms, and leaned over to open it for Josie. "Boss, you must pick at least two girls out of it."
As a current top star, Josie's red carpet and street photos show that she has won the sponsorship of a large number of brands, and there are many small brands who give her clothes to try her luck, so the selection and arrangement of each season is a big problem.
Generally speaking, once it is confirmed that the star matches their brand image, big brands will send [-] pieces of clothing every month, and smaller brands may send [-] to [-] pieces of clothing.
If they were all preserved, it wouldn't take long for Josie's cloakroom to explode.
In the past, she still had leisure time to pick and choose from the picture album, but during this time, forget it, she is really too busy, so she directly handed over this matter to Charlotte Ronson, a stylist she hired remotely.
Charlotte was responsible for filtering the clothes and matching them, and the existence of two fitting models not only saved her from traveling to and from New York, Los Angeles or San Francisco, but also saved Josie the effort and time to change clothes herself.
Perfect except for the money.
Josie picked two pleasing ones from a pile of mockups, and told Ella, "Book me a table at a restaurant on Thursday night."
"Okay." Ella was calm on the surface, but a little excited in her heart.
Is Josie about to make her relationship public?
Omg, that's great!
She always thinks that this pair is so good that people even choose the child's name!
Ella was right.
In fact, recently, Josie had discussed with Eve and Martha about an open relationship.
Her team has always had the ambition to turn her into an I, but Josie's character is destined to prevent them from creating countless controversies and grabbing horses in order to gain a lot of attention.
So I had to change my mind.
According to Hollywood's consistent routine of creating persona, part of the real personality plus part of public relations persona, such a celebrity public image is successful.
So they finally gave up their original plan and let Josie take the route of a mysterious superstar instead.
Regardless of the type, a normal, stable romantic relationship is still a necessity, unless you want to be suspected of having a problem with your sexual orientation.
It can only be said that the timing of Jim's appearance was just right.
Celebrities announce their love affairs to the public, just like when ordinary people choose to get married. The key lies in the timing of things happening, not how long the two parties have been together.
Thinking of this, Josie took the card from another bunch of extraordinarily plain baby's breath, and said calmly, "Find a vase and put it in. You can share the other flowers."
Is there such a good thing?
The girls quickly picked out a brightly blooming flower, and before finishing the distribution, they took it to make-up pallets, which made people have to marvel at the handicrafts of Wall Street elites.
But that bouquet of gypsophila mixed with Dutch tulips, Ecuadorian roses, and Mexican dahlias was strikingly austere.
What we are going to shoot today is the last scene in downtown San Francisco, which is also the ending of the story in the script.
The recovered heroine returned to her apartment after being discharged from the hospital. She could not remember all the memories that had happened with the hero, but when she saw the rooftop garden specially designed and built by the hero for her, those memories were finally filled with flowers. The beauty triggers.
So the hero and heroine kiss in the romantic sunset and garden, a perfect Hollywood-style happy ending.
Josie was wearing a loose beige mohair sweater, paired with a pair of slim-fit jeans, and her long dark golden brown hair was braided into a low ponytail and decorated with a square scarf, giving her an extraordinarily gentle temperament.
Jim's styling is also very simple.
Plaid shirt, black pullover and dark jeans, this is the basic style of dad that can be found in every fast-moving clothing brand store, but after wearing it on him, it makes people feel extra comfortable and soft.
In addition, Nora Efron specially let him grow a little bit of stubble, which weakened Jim's overly refined handsomeness, as well as his otherworldly cool temperament, showing a gentle and refined demeanor in his gestures and gestures.
It's hard to say the type that most Americans will appreciate.
But both Josie and Nora believed that the Arthur he played must be the kind of man most women would appreciate, not only because of his appearance, but also because of his affection and restraint for the heroine.
Yes, that's right, the most important thing is restraint.
As Salinger wrote in "The Heart of a Broken Story": "Love is wanting to touch and then withdrawing." '
The love between Elizabeth and Arthur is romantic, fanatical, and full of drama, but facing the test of crisis, both parties choose to restrain their emotions and let go of their lover.
In the beginning, a middle-aged frustrated man met the ghost lady in the closet, then Arthur stole the latter's body from the hospital with the help of Elizabeth, and after the police detectives came to the door, Elizabeth did not want Arthur to mess with her. In order to get into trouble, he voluntarily surrendered his body.
When Arthur saw that Elizabeth had forgotten himself after waking up, he just left sadly and stopped entangled.
The love between them is like a brilliant and crazy dream. After waking up from the dream, they return to two parallel lines that did not intersect.
Luckily, it's a Hollywood movie.
So Elizabeth returned to the apartment and remembered the memory of the two loving each other, instead of leaving a sad ending of returning to a stranger like the original novel.
The lighting team adjusted the scene lighting for the last time. The male and female protagonists stood in the planned positions respectively. After confirmation, the assistant director picked up the loudspeaker and said: "Keep quiet on the scene——"
""Like Heaven", scene 135, first shot!"
"Ah!"
