"cheers!"
The trio of part-timers in the PR company were already busy communicating with the media. Only Caroline, the boss, stayed behind and opened a glass of red wine to celebrate the imminent success of the marketing in advance.
Josie raised her glass to touch the others, took a sip, and keenly felt that Caroline looked at herself with meaningful eyes.
She looked back and heard Caroline say: "Sweetheart, I have to remind you that your planb is indeed the fastest way to divert public attention, but the problem is, first, that topic is too sensitive so it is easy to Offend people; second, in this way, not only will we not be able to achieve a win-win situation, but it will also easily affect the current plana.”
The planb she was referring to was the New York Times report.
In a certain sense, public relations are the closest partners of stars, because they usually monitor every move of stars in all directions and around the clock, and give timely feedback.
"For me, win-win is not the most important thing." Josie doesn't have the good mentality of these publicists who are keen to calculate gains and losses. She just wants to make herself happy. "The important thing is that we are fine and they are fine."
Caroline was noncommittal and just said: "You are the boss who pays. It's just that if there is a next time, I sincerely hope that we can reserve a little more time for preparation."
"OK." Josie said.
Edward and David Finch on the side didn't care about what charades they were playing, and kept silent in a very tacit understanding. It was not until the two ladies finished a short and confusing conversation that Edward asked aloud: "Say Get up, Sissy, do you still have a schedule for next year? I read a very interesting script through Ben Stiller some time ago, and I think there is a character in it that is very suitable for you."
本.斯蒂勒是爱德华自导自演的处女作《保持信仰》的男主角，他们私底下的关系也不错，这个剧本是本.斯蒂勒刚刚谈下来的一个项目，导演兼联合编剧韦斯.安德森是一位入行不久的新人导演，但带他入行的合作伙伴欧文.威尔逊非常看好他。
—— Owen Wilson is Ben Stiller's close friend.
So, Hollywood is always going around in a circle.
听了爱德华的强烈推荐，乔茜饶有兴趣地问：“是什么样的角色？”
Edward replied: "A genius writer who seems weird but innocent. On the surface, he has great scenery, but in fact he is lonely and fragile, and has a serious smoking addiction. At the same time, he is stuck in a career bottleneck and a boring marriage.
Since the conversation at the Venice Film Festival, Edward seems to have found the correct way to get along with Josie again. The relationship between them is closer to a very tacit friend, and there is something more than pure friendship.
But the relationship is not the same as Keanu or Leonardo.
In front of Keanu and Leonardo, Josie can show a more authentic and casual self, but when she faces Edward, she feels a lot more conflicted.
On the one hand, it comes from the guilt brought by him. He seems to love her very much, which not only gives her a subtle satisfaction, but also makes her extremely bad;
On the other hand, she can't deny that she still cares about him, and has always admired him as an actor. As long as they don't talk about love, their relationship is pleasant.
After all, not everyone can connect with the Nietzsche or Freud they are talking about, and at the same time understand the naturalism of William Morris and the portraits of Sargent, whether it is Bach, Beethoven or modern rock bands. There is also dabbling.
But getting along doesn't mean getting along.
Love—let's call it "love"—is not a necessity for Josie's life. She can indulge herself in the sweetness of love, but she can also withdraw it at any time. More than fun.
爱情不是必需品。
Neither are men.
If you have to define it, then it can only be a spice.
Just like this dinner, she can choose steak, pasta or salad, red wine or other wine to accompany the meal, and these can be changed according to her mood.
而就算佐餐已经限定红酒的话，也有各中各样的选择。
Product type, place of origin, winery, year, alcohol content... there are several glasses of red wine in the restaurant, not to mention that there are always more men in this world than middle-class red wine.
The night gradually darkened.
After dinner, Caroline went to meet Eve and the others. David Finch claimed that he had drunk too much and wanted to go back to the hotel room to rest. Only Josie and Edward were left walking and chatting in the garden.
After Edward's fastest matchmaking, Josie has agreed to find time to meet with Wes Anderson, and then they can talk about the script about "Geniuses" mentioned by Edward.
At the same time, Jim, who finished his day's work, did not immediately rest at the hotel in Carmel Town. Instead, he went to the airport to pick up someone with Josie's assistant, Debbie, and came to downtown San Francisco to surprise Josie.
Turns out, the surprise was decidedly a bit odd.
"Dorota! Why are you here?" Josie's eyes shifted from Dorota's radiant face to the little Corgi KK nestled in Ella's arms, "Okay, should we have this little KK tomorrow?" Guy's part, Ella?"
Ella nodded, "Yes, Debbie should have reminded you of this two days ago."
"Sorry, I've been busy with too many things these two days." Josie didn't take KK, but stepped forward to hug Dorota and Jim, "I think you guys already know each other, but I'd like to introduce you as usual. Just a moment. Dorota, this is Jim, and Jim, this is Dorota, the important family I grew up with."
Recently, Eve has released rumors of Josie and Jim's suspected dating one after another, but there is still a proper time before the official announcement of the relationship, and it is not just after the "Fight Club" incident. Kevin Smith Patsy is being nailed to the pillar of shame.
But for the friends and family members that Josie really cares about, they basically know that Ms. Horton, who has always claimed to be "not in love" and has a "three-month curse", is a little bit serious this time.
At least Jim was indeed the first lucky one she introduced into her circle of friends as a date.
Dorota couldn't help laughing, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Stuart, you are such a match made in heaven."
Her smile was so bright that Josie couldn't help but look sideways.
Could it be that Jim, the "miracle of beauty", has surpassed the deep-rooted subjective aesthetics of human beings, and even Dorota, who has only loved muscular men for thousands of years, has changed her mind?
"You can just call me Jim." Jim didn't know what Josie was thinking, he just showed a gentle and gentle smile, looking easy to get along with.
Dorota was still more satisfied, thinking that her good lady had at least some signs of finding true love this time.
Ella was also very satisfied to see this scene.
The current assistant lady has been chasing stars since "Leading the Coquettish", and her biggest wish is to witness Josie's career and love success in her lifetime, and now the only shortcoming is gone.
What's more, the pair in front of them are really perfect.
So much so that the first trailer of the movie has just been released, and all kinds of CP fans on forums and blogs have turned their backs, and they are full of expectations for "Like Heaven", which will be released next year.
KK jumped out of Ella's arms and twisted his hips around Josie's calf, but after a few weeks of not seeing each other, his titular owner resumed the physical discomfort he had faced with dogs in the first place.
Still, Dorota couldn't see it, and bent down to open her arms: "Oh, baby, little cat, come to mother's arms."
乔茜挑了挑眉，对于新出炉的母子关系不予置评，转而看向吉姆问：“你们怎么一起来的？”
"The truth is, it's not safe for a girl to drive to the airport alone." Jim looked at Josie, "The truth is, I hope I can still say 'good night' to you tonight."
"I convinced you, poet." Josie smiled.
"You don't blame me, do you?" "The Poet" tried to impress her with his affectionate eyes.
Josie didn't answer, but took his hand.
Jim took Josie's hand back, as if he had noticed Edward who was accidentally left aside, and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Norton, I have the honor to watch you in "American X-Files" and "Wrestling." The performance in The Club was amazing."
"Oh, thank God, there is finally someone who can understand 'music'." Edward also laughed, his smile was faint, making people feel gentle, "Edward Norton, you can call me 'Ai' just like Sissy. De'."
As he spoke, he reached out and shook Jim's hand.
He also said: "I remember you, the version of "Red and Black" you starred in is very classic, and your appearance in it is especially authentic."
reduction?
What is more reductive?
You must know that although Julien in Stendhal's works is handsome and handsome, he is neither a good person nor a good end.
That is a tragic figure that people love, hate and pity.
"Actually, I think my performance at that time was still a bit lacking." Jim didn't seem to hear the voice of Edward's words, and only regarded it as an ordinary compliment, and his expression was still so amiable.
The tones of the two men were very soothing when they spoke, and their voices were very pleasant, but from the perspective of Ella, who was pretending to be walking the dog and trying to reduce her sense of existence, the whole scene was turbulent and frightening.
For God's sake, more scenes like this please...
Josie, who was in the center of the storm, didn't change her face, as if she didn't notice anything strange, she confirmed the script with Edward again, and then personally arranged for Dorota and KK to stay, before going back to her room with Jim.
装傻是一门艺术。
Especially in this case, this art becomes extremely important.
After returning to the room, Jim didn't say much, and directly took Josie into the bathroom to take a shower.
It's just that when two people are together, it will always take a little longer to wash.
After the end, Josie's Nokia phone began to find its presence again, and the call came in as if stepping on the spot.
Josie picked up the phone and looked at the number, then pressed the answer button: "Hi, Martha."
"Good evening, Josie." It was Josie's agent, Ms. Martha Miller, who called. "Are you free now? I want to talk to you about Paramount's project "Tomb Raider."
"Okay." Josie sat in front of the dressing table.
