Chapter 319
After talking about Leonardo's stepbrother, the blonde star hesitated for a moment, looked at Josie and asked, "Have you heard the gossip in Los Angeles? The assistant you fired, wrote I wrote a book about you, and I'm looking around for publishers to sell it."
"I've heard a little bit." Josie's tone was casual, and she didn't take this matter to heart, "My lawyer has sent him a lawyer's letter and will file a lawsuit at any time. Obviously, this violates the agreement he signed when he joined the job. Confidentiality agreement. No publisher signed him."
Leonardo said: "But if someone takes advantage of him and wants to pay liquidated damages for him..."
Josie raised her eyebrows and looked at Leonardo: "Leo, what do you know?"
"I just know that someone is going to do something to you." Leonardo looked around and whispered, "The matter of Vivendi-Universal really has something to do with you, right? David Geffen and Jr. Edgar Bronfman made peace with Edgar Bronfman, and the latter thought he was very kind to you, but you took revenge on Geffen and hurt Universal Music at the critical moment... Josie, you'd better pay attention recently Come on, Bronfman was never a nice guy, and I heard he got someone to do the car accident in Aix."
Edgar Bronfman Jr.?
Josie listened to Leonardo's words, and couldn't help but ask, "Leo, may I know your source?"
Leonardo laughed: "I can only tell you that I am not in the so-called high society social circles just to hunt for sex or have fun."
"I never said that." Josie shook her head slightly, "You know, Leo, I respect your way of life, as long as you don't hurt yourself or others."
"Even if they call me 'Supermodel Hunter'?" Leonardo asked deliberately.
"Honestly speaking, this is really bad." Josie gave Leonardo an angry look, "But I think your manager, Rick Yongen, wants you to follow the big star route, so he will hype you like crazy Your sex scandal is to attract attention, after all, your private life is very boring."
Leonardo raised his lips and smiled instead of anger: "Aha, why do I find it so ironic to hear this from a guy whose private life is boring and looks like a perfect robot? Besides, I don't compare Someone, there is no cliff villa to make headlines, so they can only stir up gossip."
To be precise, Hollywood stars and actors are two different professions.
In addition to being an actor, the former is more about showing their fantastic lifestyle to the public, which can be an extremely luxurious enjoyment, or it can be a split-and-close catch.
In particular, the mutually beneficial model of "Hollywood couples" can bring 1+1 far greater than 2 celebrity effects to stars. This hype method has been played in Hollywood for decades, and the whole process is skilled and professional, whether it is a man or a woman. The coffee position and the time of the first public date are all very particular.
For example, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton are the most classic hype in Hollywood. Their love affair and the various expensive gifts Burton gave Taylor are still talked about today.
As for the actor route, Meryl Streep is a typical example. Her private life is very low-key and her marriage is very happy. She can only be seen in the city during the promotional period and awards season.
However, her status in Hollywood is not as high as people think.
Capital always pursues interests, and only interests.
The conversation between Josie and Leonardo came to an end, and they fell into a new round of intensive social interaction. The popularity of Hollywood stars has always been directly proportional to the degree of attention at any party.
And obviously, the double identity of a popular star and a film company owner made her the best target in the eyes of men and women who tried their best to squeeze into the party tonight.
This made her have to directly tell a man whose shirt buttons had to be unbuttoned to the belly button that it was useless to find her for unspoken rules. Firstly, she was not in charge of casting, and secondly, she hated unspoken rules the most.
But the other party didn't seem to believe it very much.
Josie had no choice but to wave her hand and let the bodyguards take the man away.
Jim, who had just gone to the bar to get a drink for Josie, came back and handed her the lemonade in his hand, "Honey, you look tired, do you want to go back?"
"Sweetheart, it's not right now." Josie gave Jim a embarrassed look, then turned around and signed for others, "Oh, I remember you, you're Chris - sign it, I wish you tonight have fun."
"Uh, thank you..." Chris, who had said a word to Josie, had a quick heartbeat, and carefully put away the small card signed by her, "Wow, I really didn't expect to be remembered by you name."
Josie smiled at the blond young boy, "Boy, this is the third time we've met, and my memory isn't that bad."
Chris rubbed his head and smiled shyly.
Just as he was about to continue to say something, someone squeezed in from behind him involuntarily.
"Hey, Josie, I want you to meet someone." Ali Emmanuel of Endeavor Elite was followed by a handsome boy, "James Franco, your super fan."
Josie gave a formulaic smile, and it took a few seconds to identify the young face in front of her with the crack junkie who would be hosting the Oscars in the future.
James Franco looked a little embarrassed, "Hi, Josie."
Ari Emmanuel patted him on the shoulder, and said to him, "This is the golden boy I discovered. He recently played 'James Dean' in the TNT biographical film "James Dean". He is a very talented young man." People. If there's anything for him in your movie, Josie, remember to call me anytime."
In order to maintain a good relationship with Josie Horton, Ali Emmanuel reluctantly gave up his client Mark Wahlberg. After searching countless times, he finally found his new "golden boy" .
That is James Franco in front of him.
This lucky newcomer has a face resembling the legendary idol James Dean, and his acting skills are also remarkable. After internal evaluation, Endeavor Elite regarded him as one of the main actors for the next three years, which not only made him Starring in the new film of the ace client Robert De Niro, he won the opportunity to participate in Sony Columbia's giant adaptation of "Spider-Man".
By the way, this version of "Spider-Man" initially found the dream combination of Josie and Leonardo, but they declined the invitation very tacitly, and recommended Brad Renfro, Toby... Maguire went to audition.
And the results of the auditions were clear: Tobey Maguire got the chance to be Spider-Man, and started training for it.
As for Brad Renfro, his self-imposed exile is not over yet, and he would rather stay in sparsely populated New Zealand than return to Hollywood to film.
"Hi." Josie's eyes lingered on James Franco for two or three seconds, then turned to Ali Emmanuel, complaining half-truthfully: "Ali, you clearly know that I don't care much about casting— —Speaking of which, isn’t Brad ready to come back to work yet?”
Hearing Josie mention Brad Renfro, Ali Emmanuel didn't have any guilt on his face, even though he was the one who temporarily took over Brad Renfro after Martha Miller left brokerage business.
He smiled and said in a natural tone: "Oh, yes, Brad may still need some time to adjust himself, but I promise we have prepared a few very good scripts for him."
"It's better like this." Josie smiled slightly. "By the way, Ali, you pushed my little friend to the side."
"Really? I'm so sorry." Ali Emmanuel glanced behind him casually, and sure enough, he saw a blond boy shrunk his body as hard as he could, looking over eagerly.
The famous Hollywood agent had no choice but to turn sideways and made a "please" gesture, signaling the other party to go to Josie's side.
Chris, who became the focus of everyone's attention, became more and more nervous. He was a little keenly aware that he seemed to have been accidentally used as a tool in the struggle between the two sides.
Chris secretly took a deep breath, and in the face of Josie's smiling eyes, he squeezed past Ali Emmanuel's position.
God, this should be the so-called Hollywood golden agent, right?
Will he secretly plot against me?
Thinking of this, Chris couldn't help but look at Ali Emmanuel one more time.
However, this arrogant Jew noticed his gaze, and forced a seemingly friendly smile out of his face!
Chris returned a stiff smirk.
And belatedly felt that his dream lover, Miss Horton with a sweet smile in front of him, seemed not as simple and harmless as he imagined.
The attitude of an agent from a famous Hollywood agency—a big shot whom Chris considers—showed in front of her was obviously awe-inspiring.
This already explains a few things.
But this new discovery did not weaken even a little bit of his admiration for her, on the contrary, it induced even more fiery feelings in his heart, and even the way he looked at her brought out a little bit as if no one else was there.
Ari Emmanuel on the side slightly raised his eyebrows, taking all this into his eyes, thinking about whether he would find an opportunity later to win over the lucky guy in front of him.
——if Josie was really interested in him.
However, Chris didn't notice Ali Emmanuel's veiled gaze on him, and he didn't even notice that this Hollywood agent regarded him as a commodity and was weighing his due price.
Look, the positions of power are reversed, and men and women don't seem to be any different.
No?
