Chapter 345
"So, the role you specially reserved for me is this vicious aunt?"
In a dressing room that can be described as spacious, Josie is putting on a dress with the help of Ella and Debbie, while Ernest Dawson is sitting on the sofa in the rest area outside. A curtain discusses the latter's new script.
The weather in New York is still cold recently, but the room is as warm as spring, so Ernest took off his coat and sat there wearing only a black sweater and slacks, holding a jewelry album in his hand, with a naturally indifferent expression alienated.
"That's right." He lowered his head as he said, flipping through a page of the album.
"You mean, I look like a vicious villain now?" Josie's voice came again.
"I have reason to suspect that you are misinterpreting my meaning, ma'am." Ernest didn't lift his head, but he could hear the smile in Josie's voice, so his tone remained light, "If you really want to hear, I can tell you that you are much more beautiful than when we first met, your face is more and more suitable for your temperament, and you are a delicate and beautiful snow rose."
"The issue is--?"
"The problem is, you are an actor, a very good actor, and I want to see more possibilities in you than just beauty."
"Oh, you can talk, Ernie."
The curtains are drawn.
Josie, who was dressed in a full dress, gently brushed her long black hair that had been dyed back, and spun around in place holding her skirt.
"How do I look?" she asked.
Ernest put down the album in his hand, looked at Josie carefully from head to toe, and then said briefly: "Elegant and charming."
Josie smiled back.
At the same time, her small team rushed forward to carefully arrange the details of the dress for her.
Josie is trying on an outfit for the upcoming Oscars.
This time, her Oscar red carpet and Vanity Fair party dresses were all taken care of by French designer Jean Paul Gaultier. Last year, the concert look he designed for Hong Kong star Leslie Cheung was praised by Time Magazine, and so was Josie. After reading the magazine, he personally called Gaultier to design an Oscar shirt for himself.
Obviously, Gaultier accepted the invitation with joy.
So, there is an amazing finished product Josie is wearing now——
The taffeta satin gown is a gentle pearl white at first glance, but the high slit skirt moves with the steps, and you can see that the reverse is the black fabric usually used for men's suits, which matches the matching style. Women's coats are exactly the same.
With a batch of coats, the retro girl with flaming red lips becomes a modern elite who walks with style.
This is exactly the style Gaultier has always liked: challenging the boundaries of men and women.
Michelle Baker, Josie's personal stylist, and Charlotte Rosen, Josie's dress collaborator, these two ladies are getting together to comment on this dress.
"Gaultier is amazing!"
"Yes, it's fantastic."
"What hairstyle will you wear on the red carpet day?"
"With side parting or a low bun, this dress is really elegant and doesn't need a lot of frills."
"Josie, what jewelry do you want to match?"
Josie, whose name was called, left the mirror and sat on the sofa next to Ernest, who had already presented the picture album consciously.
So, Josie looked down at the album.
Most of her jewelry collection comes from the accumulation of two generations, a small part comes from gifts from Frank, Dina Merrill, Lauren Bacall, etc., as well as her own purchases. The quantity and quality have become more and more exaggerated. Trends, so Kelly Wilson took pictures herself early on and organized them into a book, so that she can quickly pick them up when she needs them.
While Josie was reading the album, the small team on the side were not idle. Charlotte took out seven or eight pairs of high-heeled shoes from Josie's cloakroom by herself, and placed them at her feet one after another.
"I want a brooch, a pair of earrings, a cocktail ring or a diamond bracelet?" Josie said to herself, "Don't be too exaggerated, it's better to be vintage and elegant."
"Well, I think Ms. Ann has a Jazz Age pearl and diamond bracelet, the kind with rings, from my grandmother's collection, and I'll take care of that; as for the brooch and earrings, I suggest you look at numbers six and eight No, it matches your whole outfit very well."
Charlotte quickly made the arrangements? She immediately called Ms. Ann who lives in the Upper West Side, and sent someone to deliver the bracelet to Josie's house. She also instructed Josie to try on the shoes one by one. Come on over and pick the original pair.
After hanging up the phone, Charlotte asked again: "So, you really won't go to the Golden Globe Awards at the end of the month, right?"
"That's right," Josie said. "Any questions, Charlotte?"
"It's okay, it's just that the new PR of Cartier is a friend of Ms. An, and his family has always wanted to sponsor your red carpet."
"Well, let them send the book, and I might consider wearing their jewelry at the Screen Actors Guild dinner or the Oscar nominees luncheon."
"Oh, it seems that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has really offended you this time."
Charlotte talked and smiled, and took out her SLR camera to take a custom photo of Josie, and then Michelle adjusted the original makeup according to the photo, and it would be really confirmed after discussion.
After Josie tried on the dress, she tried on the look for the Vanity Fair party, which was relatively less serious, and Michelle and her assistants changed the makeup on the spot.
While putting on makeup, she was still sitting on the sofa, trying to find time to talk about the script with Ernest: "Are you asleep? If not, we can continue the topic we talked about 10 minutes ago."
"I'm starting to understand why some directors don't like working with big stars." Ernest closed the book in his hand.
——By the way, this book is Josie's recent reading, "Theater of Revolution" by Robert Brustin, the master of contemporary American drama, and she had the honor to watch "The Moon Shines on the Unlucky Man" with her last Saturday night .
The "big star" said confidently: "I believe that the vast majority of directors in this world cannot refuse to cooperate with me."
When she said this, Josie raised her famous and beautiful chin high, and the clear jaw line made her side profile very smooth, as if silently expressing elegance.
Ernest glanced briefly, then looked away.
"Confidence is a good thing, at least for an actor." He said instead: "In fact, the script was originally written for Dakota Fanning. Before the "I Am Sam" project was completely shelved, I saw Among the three child actors who were originally selected, Fanning left a deep impression on me and gave me the idea of adapting "Heidi."
"Heidi", or "Girl Under the Alps", is a novel written by Swiss children's literature writer Johanna Speli, which tells a series of stories about the heroine Little Heidi.
Previously, "Heidi" was turned into a movie by Hollywood twice, and the most influential one was undoubtedly the movie version starring Shirley Temple in 1973. The animation version was also produced by Hayao Miyazaki, and the word-of-mouth is also good. very nice.
Just imagine, in the United States after 911/[-], if such a very healing movie is released, the response should be extremely enthusiastic.
what?
Why didn't Josie call 911 in advance?
Please, she's not God.
And even God is under no obligation to save America.
What's more, whether the September 911 incident was another "Pearl Harbor" artificially concocted by the government is still open to debate even 20 years later.
——The benefits brought by the war are too great. Never set a bottom line for those capitalists and politicians, because they have no bottom line at all.
Back to the topic.
Josie believes that "Heidi" is a promising project, and Dakota Fanning is also satisfactory as the heroine candidate, but the preparation and production will be relatively tight in terms of time, and it is best to catch up with the Christmas schedule at the end of this year. In this way, the east wind of 911 can be borrowed to the maximum extent.
In terms of budget, if you don't invite big stars, it is estimated that about 500 million US dollars will be enough.
And this is obviously not a popcorn blockbuster that needs star power.
Josie and Ernest discussed the whole morning, until lunch they were still talking about "Heidi". The important little girl role needs to start casting as soon as possible.
In addition, negotiations with the Swiss local government, location surveys, etc. must be carried out immediately.
By the way, she didn't agree to the offer of a special role, but this idea still brought new ideas for Josie to choose her next script.
It doesn't matter whether the villain is a villain or not. The important thing is that she needs a brand new role that can bring creative passion.
She needs passion in her life.
At the end of January, the new Golden Globe Awards were announced in Beverly Hills.
Tom Hanks ("Cast Away") and George Clooney ("The Three Kings") won Best Actor in a Drama and Music Comedy, respectively, while Julia Roberts ("Innocence") and Rui Nee Zellweger ("Emergency Love") also won their respective Best Actress crowns.
Generally speaking, the results of the awards ceremony that night were not surprising, especially since Julia Roberts showed the momentum of sweeping the army from the beginning of the awards season, and her ambitions for the Oscar queen were clearly revealed.
If the academy hadn't awarded the best actress to Josie Horton in the past few years, perhaps there would be no suspense in this year's awards. However, since the academy has already recognized a popular and powerful box office star, some people are concerned about Julia Roberts' final award. Winning is not terribly optimistic.
After all, no matter how you look at it, Josie Horton is more legendary than the current Julia Roberts.
——Hollywood of the same era does not need two legendary ladies.
But one of the night's most eclipsed Golden Globes was precisely because of Josie Horton.
As early as three days before the awards dinner, the popular star answered his fans on the social networking site, saying, "For some reasons, I refuse to attend this year's and future Golden Globes." Public opinion was directly detonated, paparazzi and informants from all walks of life were dispatched one after another, and the tabloids were also very lively.
'The Hollywood Foreign Press Association responded that Josie Horton was never invited to attend the Golden Globe Awards! '
According to an insider in the circle, Josie Horton was kicked out of the invitation list by the association for playing a big role! '
' Josie Horton complained to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association just because she wasn't nominated! '
Philip Burke, chairman of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, said that because he unintentionally offended this big star, many celebrities who originally decided to attend the Golden Globe Awards skipped their tickets. Under someone's power, the wind and rain are precarious! '
'In-depth analysis of the Josie Gang, a small emerging group in Hollywood, and why Josie Horton can become the leader of the next generation of Hollywood! '
'A new generation of box office superstars?Or a new generation of insider bullies?This is a real femme fatale active in Hollywood! '
"X-Men" director Bryan Singer supported Philip Burke, calling him a very honest and good man! '
……
All of a sudden, rumors abounded inside and outside the dock.
Josie's public relations team did not respond immediately, but waited until a small group of trolls on the Internet were gone, and Philip Burke and related people published blog posts alluding to Josie's faction on their personal blogs. Just put a short coded surveillance video on the homepage of NOW, the largest gossip forum in the United States.
After that, the official statement was released.
This statement is not long, but it clearly states that the so-called "offence" of Philip Burke, the current president of the Hollywood Reporters Association, is that he publicly sexually harassed Josie's guests at the party. The reaction was overwhelmingly disappointing, which is why so many refused to attend this year's Ballon d'Or.
The New York Times ran a feature article on this...
"NOW" used that surveillance photo as the cover of the current issue...
"Trend Journal" warns its readers to bravely say no to this kind of behavior...

So far, the raging scandal has cast a shadow over this year's Golden Globe Awards. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association issued an apology announcement. Philip Burke, the chairman of the association, resigned and ended his career in disgrace.
But the incident itself did not draw a perfect ending.
Fox's Peter Chenin personally called Josie, and he came here to do things for others: "I know that Singer was deceived this time and accidentally offended you, but he is really a talented young man. Man, maybe he deserves to be forgiven for once—assuming that he is willing to apologize to you solemnly, what do you think?"
