[US Entertainment] Popular all over the world

The setting sun is like gold, and the residual glow is like fire.

In the setting sun, the palm trees on both sides of the road seem to be burning, each leaf is coated with a layer of fiery red halo, the billboards lined up are gorgeous and colorful, and the night scene of West Hollywood is gradually descending.

One of the billboards has a big CK logo, and the skinny British girl Kate Moss is showing her young body to everyone. She has brought a weird fashion trend that is spreading rapidly in the fashion industry.

Some time ago, the protagonist on this billboard was Maggie Mark, who had acted in a short film with Josie. Together with his strong upper body and that pair of CK underwear, he became famous overnight in the city.

And tonight, the big man behind Ma Kei called to meet Josie.

For this reason, Josie consulted Martha for advice.

After signing the contract, Martha specifically explained that it is best to report to the agent when someone asks her out. This is a kind of protection, because many things are unpredictable.

Josie didn't know how the others did it, but she liked how Martha did it.

Martha briefly explained the popular social methods in the circle. Parties held in public places like hotels are usually relatively clean, at least cleaner than the kind of parties that Josie has heard organized by senior middle school students on the Upper East Side. Smoking "cigarettes" and picking someone who is pleasing to the eye to sleep with - that's just the way these people entertain themselves.

And going to a private party at a stranger's house, you need to be extra careful, some people in the circle are having a crazy time, and no one can guarantee what will happen there.

She also suggested that if Josie felt bored, she could go to the Screen Actors Union's anti-submarine course, which was helpful, but not many people went.

It is worth mentioning that after receiving the check from Lily White, Josie became a member of the Screen Actors Guild, although this made her pay a lot more, because registration as a member cost money.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, the company will pay her for the time being, and it only took her 10 minutes to accept that there is no need to worry about the debt.

Because she believes that it won't be long before the money can be repaid.

On Sunset Boulevard, an Elvis Presley pink Cadillac sports car turned a corner under the envious eyes of others, and stopped at the gate of the Marmont Manor Hotel.

Josie got out of the car and tossed the car keys to the doorman.

"It's a nice car." The doorman looked at Josie's face, then at the car, and complimented, "It's a beautiful 'pink Cadillac'."

Josie smiled at him, "Thank you, please take care of it."

This classic car is one of Josie's grandfather's collections.

During the filming of "The Perfect Victim", Josie got her driver's license. Her latest pleasure is driving her classic car along Route 66, and by the way... thinking about life?

The doorman was taken aback.

Before he could react, the beauty in front of him had already left.

"Which Hollywood star is this?" he couldn't help thinking, "Her temperament is really impressive."

The party spirit is in full swing in the detached pool villas at the Chateau Marmont.

Professional DJs, bartenders and resident singers, beautiful young boys or girls, and some familiar faces that only appear in Hollywood TV movies: the soon-to-be-famous Brad Pitt, the proud Robert Downey Jr., The up-and-coming Kevin Spacey, the unknown Russell Crowe, the inseparable Mad Ben... the Mesozoic male stars of Hollywood in the future are almost gathered together.

It is conceivable that the big man behind Markey is not only popular, but also has an excellent eye for picking friends.

Josie even saw Charlize Theron with a round face in the crowd.

However, the famous people in the film industry are all here for a cutscene. They basically come to see the real owner here, not the [-]th-line actor Maggie Mark.

Maggie Mark has just crossed over from the music circle, and his coffee position is at the bottom of the film circle. The people he invites are all friends who used to play music, or young actors he knows in Hollywood. Most of the young people in their twenties who come here.

Looking around, there are hundreds of handsome men and beauties, making this party look wonderful.

"Wow, I recognize you—" I never expected that Downey was the first to talk to Josie, "By the way, how much did you pay for the emergency room?"

Josie remembered it all at once.

She subconsciously flattened her mouth, and said dryly, "It's nine thousand dollars, Mr. Downey, thank you so much for helping me."

That's nine thousand dollars, so impressive!

She was sure that she would never forget the person in front of her for at least ten years, and the nine thousand dollars she lost because of it.

"Emmmm, your acting skills are too exaggerated, without real emotion." Downey commented, and he took a look at Josie, "You don't look like you're short of money, and you don't look like you can't pay the bills."

Almost a month ago, when Downey was driving in Malibu in the middle of the night, Josie suddenly jumped out and fell in front of his car.

Thank goodness he was sober at the time.

The first reaction was that he accidentally got high again, and then he got out of the car and found that the idiot crossing the road fell two meters away, so he thought about the possibility of being blackmailed, and called an ambulance .

Oh, he's such a warm, kind, nice guy, he hasn't called a helicopter yet.

Josie made a fake smile: "It's nothing, it's just nine thousand dollars. I still thank you very much. If there is anything I can help in the future, you can contact me at any time. I owe you once."

Regardless, Downey saved her life in every sense of the word.

This time, Josie seemed much more sincere in thanking her.

However, Downey was very surprised, "I ask you for help? Ha, who am I? I'm Robert Downey Jr., little guy! If you don't watch "Chaplin", you should also watch "Once Upon A Time", right? Otherwise, you're still in Hollywood."

Josie was a little helpless.

Now is the time when Downey is popular, and he seems to have been nominated for an Oscar winner. Naturally, he is in the limelight, so after talking about it, she seems to be hitting on a conversation.

She rounded it up casually: "Just to express my heartfelt thanks. After all, if it weren't for your help, I really don't know if I can stand here."

Donnie glanced at Josie, "It's best like this."

Fortunately, Downey was not interested in chatting with the unknown newcomer, especially since the other party was a female, he just came here for a walk.

So he shrugged and said, "Okay, it's time for me to go home to the mother. Goodbye, little one."

Josie immediately said, "Goodbye, Donnie."

At this time, Markey, who invited her to the party, also found her.

Markey came over and asked, "Hey, Josie. Do you know Bob?"

—He was referring to Robert Downey Jr.

"No, I just met once." Josie still felt a little pain in her heart, she lightly brought up the topic, and said hello: "Good evening, it's really lively here."

Markey casually took a glass of alcoholic drink from the waiter's tray and stuffed it directly into Josie's hand.

Is it legal to drink alcohol under the age of 21?

Come on, no one in school actually abides by this.

Josie took it and took a sip.

Markey didn't pay attention, he laughed: "Come here, let me introduce you to a big guy, he likes your movie very much, you are going to be lucky!"

Of course Josie didn't refuse.

In fact, this is also the ultimate purpose of her being here tonight——

David Geffen, one of the countless Jewish producers in Hollywood.

Geffen started out as a music company. Many legendary bands such as the Eagles, Guns N' Roses, and Nirvana are all under his Geffen record label, and even John Lennon has cooperated with him.

However, the record company was later acquired by MCA Records, and Geffen received $5000 million.

In fact, since the 80s, his eyes have gradually turned to Hollywood movies, and Tom Cruise's "Crazy Good Guys" was made by him. This year, Geffen Films will have "Interview with the Vampire" It will be released, also starring Tom Cruise, as well as Brad Pitt and others.

The above is the official information belonging to David Geffen. Any Hollywood reporter can blurt out this standard answer.

But according to the information provided by Martha, before the name "David Geffen", the most dreaded title is not a film producer, but "the most powerful homosexual in Hollywood".

As we all know, Hollywood is a place where homosexuals gather together. There are homosexuals here all over the stage and behind the scenes, especially the makeup artists and stylists who have close contact with stars. place, so these people secretly organized a GayMafia, a same-sex secret society.

Geffen is the leader of this secret society.

His energy is immeasurable.

MJ, the king of pop music, introduced him as a confidant, and he himself was also MJ's economic adviser, and even Sandy Glenn, MJ's later manager, was someone else.

The music circle is Geffen's private land, and Hollywood is his hunting ground.

He seems to be retired, but one sentence can still affect the career of most people, because the senior executives of the entire circle, as well as the senior executives of various TV stations, are full of his friends, or people who have been helped by him.

Clearly, Geffen is ambitious.

He is planning to further expand his career territory, and jointly form a film company with the famous director Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg, a former Paramount and Disney executive, with the goal of Hollywood film industry giant, for this reason he needs to manage the relationship network for the next ten or even 20 years in advance, and this is the main reason why he has been tirelessly supporting newcomers in recent years.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Holden, your 'Iris' shines."

Said the Jewish man in his 50s.

Geffen was neither tall nor handsome. He looked gentle and graceful. He was wearing a very common Hawaiian style shirt. He sat on a deck chair by the pool and shook hands with Josie.

Surprisingly approachable.

"It's an honor to have your compliments, Mr. Geffen." Josie smiled.

Geffen smiled, "Sit down, please."

Josie sat down opposite him.

Markey sat with him on the other side.

Geffen was holding a glass of martini, and his tone was very easy-going: "Maybe you don't believe it, I have watched all your performances so far, whether it is the chewing gum commercial that just debuted, or the latest audition. I have to say, your piano playing It’s very good, but what I’m more curious about is that you seem to have suddenly become enlightened in acting, can you tell your story?”

Of course Josie couldn't refuse.

With the same smile on her face, she replied half-truthfully, "Well, I almost gave up on being an actor because of some bad experiences. Until one day I woke up in the hospital and I With no one around me, I felt very at a loss, and even thought about saying goodbye to this world for a moment."

"But I retreated." Josie paused for a while, as if to organize her words, and continued after a while: "I swear that I want to look good to those people, and the first step is that I have to change my life, so I rush My ex-agent in that dump said: Shut up and fuck off."

"From that moment on, I found that my world suddenly opened up. Acting didn't seem to be a difficult thing anymore. If I have to describe it, I feel empowered and I can do anything I want to do."

"And then I got my role, and an agency deal."

This story was told by Josie quite wonderfully.

Encountering setbacks, torturing her heart, growing up, and finally reaching a happy Hollywood-style ending, at least the audience should seem satisfied, because Geffen obviously doesn't really care about Josie's mental journey.

——Although she was talking nonsense from the beginning to the end, it really seemed that Josie was young and innocent, impulsive and conceited, with a little talent in acting, and not a ruthless character with deep scheming.

"I think you'd be a good actor," Geffen commented, "and a great movie star."

Josie said frankly, "Thank you, I think so too."

Geffen smiled, but said nothing.

He played with the cocktail glass in his hand and extended his gaze to the young men and women at the party. These people had many things in common, including: very young and beautiful.

After a little while, he asked suddenly: "Do you like these boys, Miss Holden?"
