Chapter 306

Hearing this good news, Josie laughed sincerely, and her tone was extremely sweet: "It's really a pity, I hope they can get through this, otherwise the game will be boring if it ends too early."

"What are you going to do?" Edward asked casually, but immediately reacted, "——if it's a commercial secret, then just pretend I didn't ask."

Josie obviously didn't want to answer this question, she just said vaguely: "It's just a small business outside of Hollywood."

The acquisitions of Vivendi and Universal are no secret.

However, several short-sellers on Wall Street are ready for this, which is not news that ordinary people can know.

Ax's ax capital has been made more hidden, and it is still hidden in the shadows, and Josie will not talk about this topic in such a crowded place like the Oscars.

Edward took champagne from the waiter's tray, touched Josie lightly, and asked, "Speaking of which, how is the preparation of "The Trap 2" going? Will John continue to participate? He is really a A very good actor, and I really hope to have the opportunity to work with him."

"Perhaps, you would like to read the script of "The Trap of Heaven 2"?" Qiao Qian said in a good mood, but said in the next second: "No, forget it. You may not be suitable for that kind of commercial film male vase."

But Edward said: "'Tang Xiao' in "The Trap" is not a character who has anything to do with vases. In fact, I am looking forward to seeing the script of "The Trap 2"."

Josie put down the champagne in her hand, and looked at Edward subconsciously. The man in front of him could not be said to be very handsome and sexy, but his appearance could easily give people a gentle and harmless feeling.

And "The Trap of Stealing the Sky 2" continues the theme of "trap" in the previous one. The male protagonist pretends to be mentally retarded at the beginning, and then joins the female protagonist's team, but betrays her in the end. After a battle of wits, the female protagonist defeated him and sent him to prison.

Therefore, the hero of the sequel is not only the lover and partner of the heroine, but also the target of trapping.

Different from "Tang Xiao", this character is very cunning and elusive, and has a good performance space in commercial films.

And this villain who embodies the characteristics of an evil genius is indeed the type of character Edward is best at.

Josie paused, and said, "The problem is, with the jewels of "Fight Club" in front, we should be more cautious in our next cooperation."

"According to your schedule, the fastest release time of "The Trap 2" is two years later." Edward was very organized, "As for the impact of "Fight Club", if we don't even have the confidence to break through the shackles of the previous image, what will happen? How about the so-called performing arts?"

Josie seemed a little stumped by Edward's question.

Under normal circumstances, she is the kind of person who is more opinionated, but Edward always knows how to persuade her, because she always strives for excellence in her work, and as long as it is not a matter of principle, she can make concessions for the quality of the film.

The first element of casting is whether the actor is suitable for the role.

There must be many actors in Hollywood who can play this role, but after comprehensive consideration, Edward is indeed the most suitable.

Because this role is different from the casting of "Like Heaven" or "Secret Agent Belle", it not only requires the actor to have good acting ability, but also not to steal the show too much in appearance, but also to have enough screen charm.

Otherwise it could easily turn into a disaster.

Josie inevitably hesitated.

At this time, Edward snorted lightly, fixedly looked at Josie's face close at hand, and said in a slightly self-deprecating tone: "You can always be so cruel to me, but it doesn't matter, anyway, this is not the first time. This time, I'm almost getting used to it."

Only then did Josie look at him, sighed silently, and felt a rare sense of guilt.

Perhaps that night in Venice, she should have rejected him more rationally, instead of allowing him to make the relationship between the two of them more and more difficult to sort out.

But it is undeniable that she is not completely unmoved by him, because there is always a place for him in a hidden corner of her heart—he feels differently to her.

Even, she still thinks it has nothing to do with love, but more of an appreciation.

"Don't show that expression, sweetheart, it's not for you." Edward pulled the corners of his mouth and let his smile return to a gentle and harmless arc, "If you don't need me, forget about the conversation just now; but if I'm lucky enough to help To you, whether it's a movie or something else, don't worry about anything, call me anytime. Okay?"

Josie pursed her red lips, and looked at Edward in front of her again. There was not much expression on her face with perfect makeup. After about five or six seconds, she said softly, "Okay."

To be honest, no matter how rational and calm a woman is, there will always be an emotional side-of course, the same is true for men-this is the fascinating thing about human beings.

Most of the time, Josie can be so calm that she is almost cold. This does not mean that she has no weaknesses, but that she hides her softest part very well, making it difficult for people to impress her heart.

perhaps--

Just maybe.

She needs to have personal proof that after she completely removes her disguise, the other party can still love her unreservedly, instead of being caused by temporary hormones.

Simply put, the vast majority of people in this world only rely on hormones when they fall in love, and they only seek the tacit understanding of the three views when considering marriage.

But Josie wanted more than that.

She wanted the other party to prove the existence of true love, but she was stingy and refused to give even a little bit of love.

This is actually very contradictory.

But fortunately, she herself doesn't expect someone to do that for the so-called love, so she never fantasizes about her future partner.

She is more inclined to walk alone, occasionally looking at the scenery along the way, but never stopping her footsteps for them.

This is enough.

Edward, who had achieved his goal, did not pursue the victory, but spontaneously served as Josie's male companion tonight, accompanying her to say hello to people he knew or didn't know at the scene.

Josie acquiesced to Edward's company.

Most of the time, he doesn't talk much, he knows very well that the lady beside him is the protagonist, so he is willing to be a green leaf and protect her with the attitude of a knight.

Eve, who was watching this scene, couldn't help but use her mobile phone to complain to her colleague Robin who was far away at home at this time: "It was a good show, Edward Norton actually got the hang of it."

"Are you at the award ceremony?" Robin replied quickly, "I knew he must have a purpose in trying to be a guest—what did he do?"

You must know that there are no new movies for Edward this year that are about to or are currently being released.

Eve described it a bit, and concluded: "He's like Jacqueline standing next to JFK, honey, which makes me wonder if it's my eyes or his brain."

"I don't think it's surprising that a man like him can do anything once he stops thinking about his self-esteem." Robin obviously knew his client well, and asked again: "Do you think Josie has a chance to accept the award on stage tonight?" ?"

On stage to receive an award?

The only chance for Josie to be on stage to accept the award was when "Boys Don't Cry" was a big hit and won the best picture award this year.

But to be honest, the crew of "Boys Don't Cry" wouldn't even dare to dream of doing it.

After all, this movie is a kind of harm to the fragile hearts of some men, and those old white men don't care about women at all, let alone the stories of transgender people.

"The Best Picture winner at this year's Oscars is—"

"The Green Mile!"

With the voice of veteran superstar Clint Eastwood spreading throughout the auditorium, the Oscar competition that lasted for a whole year finally came to an end. "The Green Mile" starring Tom Hanks and produced by Warner Bros. At the end.

Frank Darabont, the director and producer of "The Green Mile", stood on the stage together with other members of the crew, excitedly and excitedly recited the thank-you speech that had been prepared long ago, and the audience in the audience gave it at the right time Everyone smiled and seemed to bless him from the bottom of their hearts.

This is an expected and reasonable result.

It can be said that it was the defeat of "American Beauty" that cleared the biggest obstacle for "The Green Mile" to win the championship.

Look at its remaining opponents——

The humiliating victory of last year's "Shakespeare in Love" doomed Miramax's "Cider House Rules" to an almost impossible success this year;

"The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" and "Boys Don't Cry", these two films have inherent deficiencies in different aspects, basically nomination means victory;

The only thing left that could pose a threat is "The Inside Story", the golden combination of director Michael Mann + veteran actor Al Pacino + newcomer Russell Crowe. Lost to The Green Mile for Best Adapted Screenplay, the same failure as The Cider House Rules.

As for the acting awards that have attracted the most attention from the public.

As predicted by the "Wall Street Journal", Denzel Washington of "The Hurricane" successfully won the Best Actor and became the second Oscar winner after Sidney Poitier, while Michael of "The Cider House Law" . Kane won the best supporting actor, no surprises.

However, in the competition for actresses, Annette Bening, who had previously won the Screen Actors Guild Award for "American Beauty", resolutely switched from the main cast at the last moment, which completely disrupted the best supporting actress this year.

"Boys Don't Cry" Hilary Swank won the best actress statuette as a newcomer, but this result is not too controversial.

Because throughout the awards season, the actress has already swept every critic award except LFCC with this controversial role that is almost impossible to replicate, and the only competitor Annette Bening has switched to supporting actress Department, it is very easy to win the award.

And Annette Bening finally got her wish. Under the shadow of the scandal of the same film starring Kevin Spacey, still relying on years of experience, reputation, contacts, and four other young competitors who are completely unable to fight this year, will belong to the His own statuette is in the bag.

——But from another point of view, her dream of becoming an actress is getting further and further away.

So far, this year's Oscar awards ceremony has come to an end, and the carnival belonging to the entire Hollywood has just begun.

From the Oscar night at Vanity Fair, to the celebration parties of the Sixth National Congress, and then to the celebration party of the Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company, Josie's figure was almost all over the most important and important occasions this night.

The funny thing is, even though she didn't win an award tonight, people are still chasing her, but the content seems to be a little bit different than before - just a little bit.

"Hey, Josie, I wrote a good script, do you have time to read it? Maybe your film company is willing to invest."

"Miss Horton, I heard that you are interested in playing poker. Are you interested in joining my private poker game? Don't worry, my place is absolutely safe. Even De Niro and Nicholson are my guests."

"Hello, I'm the director of the Hollywood Breast Cancer Relief Foundation, can I delay you for 10 minutes..."

"Oh, Josie, you are here, did you read the script about the equestrian competition we gave you last time?"

"Congratulations, Josie. Boys Don't Cry is my personal best of the year, by the way!"

"Josie, you are here, I want to introduce you to an investor, are you free now?"
