Chapter 353
Surprisingly, the concert that night came to a successful conclusion.
But what is worrying is that this time there are two concerts in a row, and the second concert is less than 72 hours away, but MJ's health is still worrying.
When Josie and her group went to the lounge to visit MJ after the show, he was lying on the sofa as if falling asleep, but just heard some strange footsteps, the King of Pop immediately opened his tired eyes , trying to show them a smile.
"Is it time to go to the celebration banquet?" He asked softly.
The clock on the wall said eleven o'clock.
At this time, the celebration banquet should already be warming up.
"You need to rest, Mike." Elizabeth Taylor became more and more worried, "Maybe you can show up later."
"It's okay, I can't sleep anyway." MJ took a deep breath, then stood up, "Let's go together, I hope everyone didn't wait too long."
Fans who buy concert package tickets can get admission tickets to the celebration banquet, which is the key to the high demand for those expensive package tickets.
It can be said that the intention of the organizer of this concert to collect money is obvious.
It has even been rumored that MJ himself did not want to hold a concert, but was coerced by his manager and team.
The celebration dinner was held at the nearby Green Hotel.
Almost half of the top players in the music industry showed up, and there were fewer Hollywood movie stars, most of whom were close friends with MJ.
Rashida Jones appeared on the arm of her father Quincy Jones, and at tonight's concert, the famed music producer took to the stage and hugged MJ, seemingly letting go of each other.
Britney, who had a problem tonight, was in the corner, and was reprimanded by a middle-aged man who looked like a manager. The latter noticed MJ's appearance and quickly put on a smiling face to greet her.
And Britney was also dragged over to apologize to MJ with her manager and thank Josie for saving the scene.
Neither of them paid much attention to this little episode.
However, Josie keenly noticed that when the sullen Britney returned to the corner, her friend Wade made her smile again, and from time to time there were some intimate actions beyond the normal range.
Isn't Britney dating Justin Timberlake from Superboy?
You know, this pair of golden boys and girls who once worked together in the Disney Club perfectly satisfied the romantic fantasies of fans. The love affair not only brought them incalculable traffic, but also easily caused backlash.
Perhaps Josie looked at Britney a few more times, and Lindsay beside her also noticed the movement in the corner, tugged on Josie's sleeve and asked, "J, are you looking at Britney?"
Josie nodded and looked away, "Let's go, let's go get something to drink."
"I guess you must be wondering where her boyfriend is." Lindsay muttered, following in Josie's footsteps. "Look, he's there, and he's not lonely, is he? Hollywood is like that, and it totally ruined me." The anticipation of love."
"So, have you ever been in a relationship?" Josie asked.
"Oh, it's just a play at most." Lindsay spread her hands pretending to be mature, "I'm not like Britney, who is 19 years old and still loves Wade to death, and even forgets himself and Justin's public image."
Josie laughed, "It sounds like you are very sensible, I hope you can keep it."
She chose an inconspicuous circular booth where she could observe the audience. In the VIP area with security gates, Lindsay naturally sat next to her.
"To be honest, I personally prefer open relationships." The 15-year-old and two-month-old girl spoke casually, holding her face in her hands, "I'm so young, so beautiful, and so talented, I only talk to one person at a time. It’s too wasteful for boys to fall in love. Besides, there are too many handsome men and beautiful women in Hollywood, we should give ourselves more possibilities, shouldn’t we?”
Josie raised one eyebrow slightly, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up: "Little girl, I won't comment on this, because I don't think it's pointless to argue about it. But I hope you at least wait until your three views are a little more mature, and then don't give up." Consider these questions."
Due to her stage appearance, her eye makeup is quite heavy, the black matte little smoke, and the raised retro eyeliner set off the rich and pure pupil color.
The eyes are slightly lowered, and the changes in light and shadow make these eyes mysterious.
For a moment, Lindsay forgot what she wanted to say, but nodded subconsciously, tilting her head and staring at Josie's face beside her.
The passage of time took away the excess collagen on this face, and also took away the youth idol who was once known for its sweetness, leaving only a great beauty who turned all sentient beings in the world.
Like top critic Peter Travers said, her beauty is deadly and fragile.
When she is profiled or three-quarters obliquely, her facial contour is the most perfect. When her eyes are downcast, she is sad. With gentle flashes, many opposing features blend harmoniously across her face, making it a face that is both contradictory and alluring.
Lindsay muttered to herself: "Well, you are so beautiful, you can say anything."
Josie smiled.
She pinched the soft cheeks of the red-haired girl, and the touch between her fingers was excellent, and the girl's playful and lovely face did not show the slump in the future, she squinted a pair of bright eyes, and smiled like a kitten.
"Before twelve o'clock, I will send you home," she added.
"Oh no—" Lindsay immediately cried and felt wronged, "I thought I could have a carnival all night today!"
Josie ignored Lindsay's wailing, summoned the waiters here, ordered some bottled drinks, picked out a bottle of lemon-flavored soda, and gave Lindsay a bottle of non-alcoholic juice.
Too many people came to the celebration banquet tonight.
In addition to using invitation letters and package tickets to enter the door, more or less young men and women who are looking for opportunities or joining in the fun will come in and try their best to strike up a conversation in the venue without changing their expressions.
——Many times, it is often just such a night that changes their fate.
The VIP area refuses the entry and exit of ordinary people, but it will not reject celebrities who brush their faces.
One after another, acquaintances came to say hello, and most of them could see with a wink that Josie didn't want to chat, and then returned to their place with interest after saying hello; very few people who couldn't understand people's language would be invited by a special person or she leaves.
Before twelve o'clock, Lindsay was packed and sent away.
And at this time, Josh Jones' group of the second-generation stars from the Upper West Side had just arrived late, and it was obvious that they had already played a round elsewhere, more or less smelling of alcohol.
"I heard Mike wasn't in great shape tonight?" asked Sean, who had just returned from Switzerland and started making music again.
Because of the Lennon couple, he met MJ at a very young age and became good friends. It is normal to ask this question.
"He has some back pain and insomnia." Josie didn't go into too much detail, and looked at Josh, who was faintly becoming the center of this group of people, "You guys come here to show your face and leave?"
"Yes." Josh nodded, "Going back to the apartment? Maybe you would like to listen to our recent demo."
"It's too late, why not make an appointment for brunch at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." Josie suggested.
"I want to eat the one in Central Park." Mark, who came over later, naturally sat next to Josie and gave her a high five, "How are you, beauty? When we were playing in the nightclub, we listened to People say you were a hit at the concert tonight, and you never mentioned to us that you were the 'mystery guest'."
Josie smiled, and asked without answering, "Why are you one step behind them?"
Mark looked at her and smiled, and said deliberately: "Want to know? I won't tell you——"
"He went to meet his former father-in-law." Josh opened a can of beer and broke the news for Mark directly, "To be honest, seeing Mr. Q appearing here with a smile on his face, I almost thought we were in the wrong place."
"It's also possible that I accidentally went back to the past." Sean added with a light smile.
Several people sat on the sofa in the booth and chatted. They danced quickly and picked up girls. Only Josh was still drinking, half-closed his eyes and didn't know what to look at.
Josie checked the time, ready to say hello to MJ before leaving.
Josh stopped her suddenly, with a hesitant tone: "Hey, what do you think..."
Just as he started talking, he was interrupted by laughter from not far away. Several beautiful young men and women came in together. The leader, Justin Timberlake, was holding a man in his arms who was obviously not Britney Spears. girl laughing out loud.
After catching Josh's gloomy gaze, Justin Timberlake was not afraid to laugh back, and came over to say hello in a graceful manner: "Hi, Josie, I have to say, your performance tonight was unforgettable, it was great!"
"Thank you. You are doing a good job too." Josie replied politely.
"No, no, no——" Justin Timberlake seemed to be drinking too much, and praised in an exaggerated tone: "You are so nice, we all love you to death, you are so sexy and charming, we have posted it in our closets before." Your poster, sometimes..."
"You're drunk, JT." Josh stood up and looked at Justin Timberlake coldly.
The latter twitched the corner of his mouth at him, pushed the girl in his arms away, and smiled provocatively.
"Want to beat me up? Like you did backstage last time?" Justin Timberlake had a half-smile, "Seriously, you're the most useless rapper I've ever seen, Josh."
Josh clenched his fists, but didn't answer.
Justin Timberlake didn't continue to pay attention, and walked around Josh to Josie who was sitting behind him, and pressed a small note with a phone number written on it on the table in front of her.
And said to her, "Call me anytime, okay?"
His face was young and handsome enough to be popular even among Hollywood actresses, so his tone was confident.
However, this time, he did not get the expected response.
Josie just glanced at the little note, and then raised her widely praised beautiful eyes, which were obviously calm and gentle, but made the person being watched feel as if some kind of cold-blooded animal was watching her. illusion.
Then, she smiled softly, and her tone became more gentle: "I'm more interested in your teammate JC than your number—I don't know, is he willing to give a remedy to the girl who rejected him six years ago?" chance?"
With such a smile, her eyes are still cold.
If I have to describe it, this scene is completely restored to her classic movie, and the character makes people feel chills down the spine when talking and laughing.
But that's just a movie!
Subconsciously, Justin Timberlake's smile froze on his face, and he asked, "Um, do you know each other?"
"Not so much acquaintance." Josie replied with a smile, "Say hello to JC for me, Justin, and, have a nice evening."
The voice fell.
The curvature of the lady's lips has not changed, but it clearly makes people feel a cold and tired emotion.
Then she waved her hand, and two sturdy men stood out from the shadows.
But at this moment, a very recognizable female voice screamed: "Justin? What are you doing!"
Well, it's Britney.
I saw that she completely forgot about Wade beside her, and walked quickly from the entrance in a menacing manner, with an expression of gearing up to make a fuss——
and many more.
Josie frowned slightly.
From the temporary rescue of the concert to the inexplicable flattery of Justin Timberlake, everything that happened tonight seems to have finally come together at this moment.
