[US Entertainment] Popular all over the world

Spring, 1994, Los Angeles, USA.

"Josie Horton!"

"Look at the big trouble you've caused me!"

As soon as her eyes regained focus, Josie saw a man yelling at her.

The other party was about forty years old, with ordinary Caucasian appearance, light brown hair, tall and strong body, wearing a black suit, he seemed to be an elite in the workplace, but the texture of the clothes and his overweight figure showed that his career was not How to succeed.

Josie's mind automatically popped up the name of the man in front of her: Richard Dick Goode.

He is Josie's manager.

And the current Josie is one of the unknown actors at the bottom of the Hollywood food chain.

Josie took a look at the agent who was flailing in front of him, and the simple cubicle behind him that smelled of disinfectant. The blue curtain and the simple medical bed all indicated the location of this place. The scratch was smeared with lotion, and the back of the hand still felt cold from the drip that had just been pulled out. At this moment, a piece of medical adhesive tape was stuck on it.

She raised her eyebrows calmly.

A few minutes ago, Josie was still in the country on the other side of the earth, until there was a loud "BOOM", and the high-speed luxury car collided with the oncoming truck.

The expected severe pain never came.

Opening her eyes, she has become Josie Horton, an American girl who holds the winning script in her hand, but plays a good hand of cards to a pulp.

Thankfully, no limbs were severed, no disfigurement was left.

The only question is: who is she?

Is it "Josie" or "Josie Horton"?

Anyway, it's good to be alive.

Without much mental journey, Josie on the hospital bed readily accepted her new destiny, and Josie Horton's short life slowly unfolded to her:

Josie Horton is 16 years old and has an iconic face, but the rest are not so lucky.

When she was five years old, her mother committed suicide in front of her because of her father's habitual derailment, and her grandfather's family lost their beloved daughter, and both died the following year.

After that, Mr. Horton's business grew bigger and bigger, and Josie also moved from the Upper West Side to the Upper East Side.

But an increasingly prosperous life did not bring happiness to this girl. Her classmates on the Upper East Side looked down on the "Upper West Side", her former friends drifted away from her, and her father who was busy expanding his career did not Concerned about what happened to her at school.

The people she is most familiar with are her nanny and her father's previous assistants, and there are various courses that she can never finish learning.

Until February last year, a sudden terrorist attack made the whole of New York panic. As a Wall Street banker, Mr. Horton did not know what he had done. He was also in jail facing several charges.

At the same time, Josie was persuaded by her mother's former friend Janet Mills to transfer from Manhattan to Santa Monica, away from the sad place of New York.

Then, she met this scum in front of her who looked more like a pimp than a broker.

Josie regained her senses faintly, and fixed her gaze on Dick Goode's face.

Dick trembled from her gloomy gaze, as if someone had been holding his throat invisible, but the next second he felt annoyed by this strange behavior, and yelled loudly again.

"Do you know what you screwed up, Josie?" Dick loosened his tie knot and put his hands on his waist. "Do you think job offers just fell from the sky? To get you into Steven's In Sickert's party, I made countless phone calls to ask for help, but I just let you drink a few glasses of wine, and didn't really do anything to you, let's see how you react!"

His tone was full of accusations, and he put all the blame on Josie, "I made a mess at the party, got drunk and crashed into someone's car, and was sent to the hospital, and I was asked to find someone to apologize in the middle of the night —Josie Horton, is this all you want?"

According to the usual situation, after these words, the little girl in front of him should be full of guilt, and began to feel extremely guilty, but today she was silent.

This is quite abnormal.

"what."

Dick heard a short chuckle.

He raised his eyebrows impatiently, just as he saw Josie raised her eyebrows in front of her, showing a smile that had nothing to do with Silly Baitian.

Sharp, aggressive, obvious sneer.

Josie lowered her eyebrows, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a cold smile on the corner of her lips, "Next time there is such a good thing, please leave it to Miss Jessica Goode, I believe she will be very happy." Willing to climb into an old man's bed, just to get a few lines in his movie."

She didn't speak fast, with a pleasant accent and a gentle tone.

Dick froze there at first, thinking that he had hallucinations in his ears.

This was the first time that the little idiot dared to refute. Before that, she was always submissive, and if she raised her volume a little, she would rush to apologize and follow Dick's "suggestion".

Without even needing to use special control methods, Dick has already controlled the girl to dye her blonde hair and go on a diet, and the next step is to fix her ugly nose.

Dick couldn't believe the sudden change in the difference in treatment. It took several seconds to react, and then he was furious.

"FXXK, do you know what the hell you're talking about?" He burst out a series of obscenities without thinking, cursing for 2 minutes before saying, "How dare you talk to me like that, little bastard? What is left of the face, who do you think you are?"

Josie, who was half-sitting on the hospital bed, automatically blocked those vulgar and obscene curses, and she was extremely calm.

She waited expressionlessly for Dick to vent her garbage emotions, and then looked at Dick, her blue eyes were clear and clear, like a basin of cold water filled with ice cubes, pouring silently on the furious Dick.

With a calm voice, Josie asked him back, "Then, who do you think you are, sir?"

She raised her eyes slightly, and looked directly at him.

Dick gasped, his eyes widening.

At that moment, he actually felt that all his dark thoughts could not hide under Josie's gaze, and he even shrank a little.

He hastily looked away.

This idiot is completely different from usual.

Dick tugged on his tie again and muttered, "I'm your manager, you have to listen to me..."

"Oh, you've been fired." Josie followed suit, and she made a "please" gesture with her right hand, and said politely: "Now, please leave, thank you very much."

Dick should have been angrier.

However, as soon as he met Josie's completely different eyes, and that still sweet face that was read as "cold" for the first time, he unconsciously lost the courage to continue yelling.

He dared to say that he had seen many celebrities, and he was not as intimidating as the little girl in front of him.

But why is Josie Horton so proud?

Just relying on that outdated old model Janet Mills?

However, Mills didn't pay much attention to this girl, and that woman even had a bit of malicious intentions, suggesting that he introduced some "bad boys" in the circle to Josie, but he prevaricated them.

Nice girls are easier to deal with than cool girls.

Thinking of this, Dick tried to show a smile to ease the atmosphere.

"Hey, I admit that I was a little excited just now. I'm sorry, is that okay?" He softened his attitude and shrugged: "But you really don't want to be in Steven Seagal's new movie? That's The heroine of the sequel to a blockbuster movie can be an instant hit."

Famous overnight?

To put it lightly, it is enough to insult IQ.

"Listen clearly, I'm an actor, not a prostitute, you've completely pissed me off, we can't go on!" Josie felt a little nauseous, "Also, I don't like wasting time, especially on people like you— —Afterwards, my lawyer will talk to you about the termination of the contract.”

Dick's smirk froze on his face.

He saw Josie raised her chin, folded her hands together, her face was full of arrogance and indifference, very bluffing.

—but Josie Horton?How can it be!

"Actor? So? Who didn't come here like this!" Dick still threatened: "Do you think I will be scared by you? You have to know that your contract is still in my hands! Want to terminate the contract? Yes! Pay me 100 million Just do it!"

Josie rolled her eyes undisguisedly: "100 million? Is it shameless because you love pimping? To be honest, you don't deserve a dime, because the contract does not have my guardian's signature. So, either now Get out by yourself, or wait for me to ask someone to let you get out."

Yes, Josie is not yet full, and according to the law, she does not have the ability to sign a separate contract, but many informal brokerage companies don't care about this, so when they are seriously investigated, the contract has no legal effect at all.

Dick's expression was terrible, as if he was about to go into another round of impotent rage.

But Josie didn't give him a chance.

Josie pressed the calling bell beside the bed, and said flatly, "Oh, you don't need to look at me like that, I'm just fed up with all of this. Surprise, bastard."

She raised a middle finger at the manager, obviously feeling that the oppression in her chest had eased a lot.

But it also stunned Dick.

Because this is completely different from Josie Horton's style in Dick's impression.

But Dick didn't have time to think about it, because there were footsteps coming from outside the cubicle, Falk, this silly blonde girl is actually coming for real!

He didn't dare to continue pestering her, so he only said viciously: "Listen to Josie, this matter is endless."

Josie withdrew her hand and sneered, "Get lost."

The quietness that should have been restored in the small cubicle, the nurse on duty outside took a look at Dick who was leaving in a hurry for no reason, and came in to ask Josie if she needed help.

Josie immediately said that she needed to make a phone call, and it would be great if she could borrow a computer to go online to handle an urgent email.

Computers are still a luxury these days. Fortunately, her appearance is easy to be liked, and her soft-spoken and begging attitude is not annoying, so a young man, the doctor on duty in the emergency department, lent her The latest IBM laptop allows Josie to use it for half an hour.

Half an hour is very short, because the speed of dial-up Internet access is too slow, but it is enough for Josie to understand her current situation——

The Qiao family in her memory still exists, but the person in power has become her uncle who looks like a stranger, and her parents died in an airplane accident during the honeymoon, and she and her relatives no longer exist in this world .

Josie is more inclined to come to a parallel world that is slightly off.

They come, the security.

She had to think about how to solve the problem at hand first.

First of all, she was only wearing a thin suspender skirt, and the most valuable possession on her body - her mobile phone - had disappeared, and she didn't even know where her wallet was.

Secondly, although Mr. Horton is in prison, she still has the family trust left by her mother, and there is no problem with food and clothing for the time being.But there was an uncomfortable mother and daughter living in her house, and she had to change.

In addition, if she wants to continue working on this body, she seems to need an agent.

But most importantly, she needs to contact her lawyer, but the problem is that she doesn't remember the number at all, and the business card is not with her.

Josie couldn't help covering her forehead.

Thinking of her dignified Second Miss of the Qiao family, she was surrounded by countless bodyguards, assistants and servants since she was a child, and she didn't learn to wash her hair until she was in college. She would be troubled by such a trivial matter one day.

And she was short of money.

Yes, she had money to her name, but the family trust that belonged to her wasn't something she could spend freely, at least not until she came of age.

Due to the outrageously high inheritance tax, the rich are accustomed to using trust funds to leave enough property for their offspring. Josie inherited nearly 600 million yuan at the age of six, but most of the money cannot be used directly , until she was 24 years old, a small part was managed and invested by Mr. Horton on his behalf.

Apparently, the latter is currently being frozen.

Hey, some people look rich, but in fact, she can't even take a penny out of her pocket...
