[US Entertainment] Popular all over the world

The name Josie Horton is still unknown in Hollywood before the start of the new week. If there is no industry news that proves that Paramount's Shirley Lansing will support her, no one will care about this. The private life of the newlyweds.

But this girl is obviously unlucky, and someone pays to fuck her before she shows up.

Pure and sweet teenage star with a terrible father in jail?Oh, school bullying is child's play in the face of these.

Boring housewives read this cheap tabloid as a leisure novel, and don't care who Josie Horton is, but like her husband, she hurls unreasonable abuse at the damn rich, and even thinks that the federal court should Sentence the damn financier to a life sentence and confiscate all his assets.

Oh, and the daughter of a Wall Street vampire, then she must be no good either.

"No, Sally, you can't go to a Josie Horton movie." A father said to his daughter. He went straight to hell, so his daughter must not be a good person."

Sally was speechless and said, "Who is her father, and what does it have to do with her? I think that movie sounds good."

"You should stop watching those little chick flicks." Her father spread out today's newspaper. "Mel Gibson's movie is good. Maybe make it a family weekend activity."

Her mother added: "It's not just her father. She has a messy private life, was expelled from her previous school, changed schools without repenting, and bullied girls from the same school. Such a person is not worthy of being a star. I don't know what kind of person she slept with." Get the movie heroine!"

"No, no, Mom, do you really believe the nonsense in those newspapers?" Sally rolled her eyes, "Besides, the tabloids are so exaggerated, someone must have smeared her!"

"I don't care if anyone smears her, but you are not allowed to see it, and your father and I will not give you money."

No parent wants their children to regard bad girls as idols and follow each other's movies.

But is Josie Horton really such an unbearable person?

The first thing that turned the situation around was a radio interview Josie gave. She clarified the false rumors in a clear and clear way, and responded calmly and humorously when a viewer called in to verbally abuse the next day. Some entertainment news published relevant content, accompanied by a photo of her resume as an actor with a sweet smile, and a full-A transcript from Brearley School, a top private girls' school in New York.

People suddenly discovered that this unknown little star who often appears in entertainment news recently...seems pretty pretty?She had a nice accent, and she didn't look like a downright dumb blond.

And a high-definition still photo that should have appeared in a financial magazine completely changed the development of the incident and left most people confused——

In the photo, Frank Horton is tall and straight in a suit and leather shoes. He lowers his head slightly and raises his eyebrows to look at the camera. His eyes are sharp and oppressive, and his handsome face can be seen at a glance. It is the most attractive appearance of a man.

Faced with such a tabloid photo, a certain housewife who originally thought that "Josie Horton" was a younger sister and vowed not to let her children go to the movies was shamefully shaken.

The three views follow the five senses.

"If she is the daughter of such a person, it shouldn't be so bad. I think there must be a reason for those things." A housewife murmured, "He is so charming, why doesn't Hollywood make his story? I think look."

And her adolescent son was also thinking: "It's so cool, I also want to have such a father, who is Josie Horton, how can she be so lucky!"

His sister sneered: "Who wouldn't? She was born a winner in life, but she still looks good. It's really enviable."

"Compared to this, I think it's so cool that the IRS can't catch it." Their brother also said: "What is the name of the actress? I want to know the story of her and her father."

Overnight, the story of the Frank Horton case seemed to have caught the attention of the Hollywood film company. There was a gossip that Paramount would establish a project for it. Compared with her own father, the story of the newcomer Josie Horton was so different. There was less drama, and her innocuous and dubious school stories were quickly forgotten.

The gossip tabloid that published the photo described Frank Horton's love history after losing his beloved wife in a very bloody and romantic style, and left a question that attracted readers' attention: who can really play him?

In an age when entertainment was scarce, this issue of the newspaper sold like crazy!

When the focus shifts from crime to underworld, the whole thing becomes innocuous and entertaining.

Someone boarded the emerging BBS and discussed the legendary life of this financier: Abandoned by his parents when he was young, he grew up in a chaotic hell's kitchen; His personal net worth has exceeded one million; he also married a short-lived Bai Fumei wife, and then returned to the Upper East Side, where he was like a fish in water on Wall Street.

Proper script for a winner in life, even if he is accidentally caught by someone's tail now, judging by the progress of the case, the FBI seems to have nothing to do with him, and the current rampant consumerism makes Frank Horton's experience very enviable. Few people write confession letters and send them to magazines or prisons.

"...Oh God, I swear I'm in love with you, you have magical powers that can almost suffocate women." This confession letter fell into the hands of Scott Rudin, and the cheerful fat man told it to him as a funny story. Shirley Lansing, president of Paramount, "This is too crazy!"

Shirley Lansing just smiled and said: "The story of Frank Horton is indeed legendary. He is a white glove who plays with the Federal Reserve and the Department of Justice. I heard that people from the IRS are trying to dig out his tax records. question."

"It sounds like he has hope to get away." Scott Rudin asked casually: "Shirley, tell me, how much money did he and the people behind him plunder in the crude oil futures market?"

"Half Columbia? I'm not sure," Shirley Lansing said. "Back to the movies, Scott. I promised Amy Hecklen, and Frank Horton's presence was harmless, obviously he's better than Silverstone’s real estate agent father is more pleasing to women. I’m interested in whether this girl can be used by me. Poorlittlerichgirl, it’s a pity that she and her agent don’t know how to hype herself, otherwise it would be a good story… ..."

In this circle, mediocrity is more terrifying than anything.

The competition for the leading actress was settled, but due to the efforts of their respective agents, the controversy over the casting of this small-budget comedy finally alarmed Paramount President Shirley Lansing.Shirley Lansing asked Josie to re-sign a three-priority film contract, that is, to shoot three films for Paramount within ten years, each with a salary of 15 US dollars.

The woman had a hunch that Josie Horton would become an overnight star.

Of course, if she doesn't become famous, Paramount has almost no loss, because Paramount makes many movies every year, and this contract has no specified period or role.

Therefore, Shirley Lansing decisively proposed a contract that the newcomer absolutely could not refuse.

"cheers!"

In the setting sun, the silver-white outer wall of the Death Star Building stood in a corner of Century City with a soft halo flashing.

The contract of "Leading the Coquettish" was formally signed, one of which was sealed and archived by CAA. Martha and Josie finally let go of the tense nerves they had been tense for a month, and comfortably opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

"No one would have thought that you would allow the publicist to blackmail you fiercely." Martha said with a smile, "Aha! When you proposed this idea, even Lucy Spiller almost thought you were crazy."

"It's just suppressing first and then raising, pediatric method." Qiao Qian leaned against the French window with a smile, the corners of her eyes and brows were smudged and slightly drunk, her eyes were half-closed, as lazy as a cat.

She spoke easily and freely, but she could guarantee that her mentality would not collapse throughout the whole process. She even wrote a soft article in person, and even used this soft article to take money from the pocket of Lucy Spiller, the editor-in-chief of the gossip magazine "NOW". Regardless of Josie's age, this composure is remarkable.

"I have to say, it was a beautiful battle."

Martha unbuttoned her hair and was barefoot in the CAA reception room, dancing Uma Thurma's famous twist dance in "Pulp Fiction", holding champagne in her hand and humming singing.

——This agent doesn't hold it like that all the time.

Josie refilled her champagne.

The Internet age has not yet arrived, people who have not been baptized by national entertainment are still very innocent, and even Hollywood's gossip mouthpiece can be easily pried.

This just happened to be cheap for her.

With such a phenomenal work in hand, by this time next year, the name "Josie Horton" will not be an unknown person, and she will almost be considered a star in Hollywood.

This is very important.

So, this movie has to be successful.

And she has to do her job perfectly.

Looking at the scenery of Century City outside the window, Josie murmured, "The next step is to board that unsinkable ship..."

However, the current situation of Hollywood actors is that there are too few monks and so many monks. No one knows when the next job will be available after the movie in hand is finished.

Although she got the roles of "Life Sounds Like You" and "Leading the Show" respectively, Josie was quickly rejected by "Tears and Scars" because the casting director thought her appearance was too adult, and finally got The character is a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.

This makes sense, and Josie's mind is relaxed.

Although she has familiarized herself with the original novel and read some news reports, the novel is indeed well written, and her reading experience is very good, and she has always understood a truth, that is, the world is not centered on her, not her Work hard and get what you want.

Her effort is to be able to make herself better, instead of being entangled in the short-term gains and losses in front of her.

Josie has a clear plan in her heart. The official start in Hollywood is very important. There is a huge difference between an absolute heroine and a supporting role with few roles. "Leading the Show" is the movie that can help her become famous overnight as quickly as possible.It may be unfamiliar to some people, but Josie took an art course when she was in college, and her uneducated university lecturer repeatedly showed various movies in class, in the name of improving students' aesthetics, Learn about the history of Western clothing, including "The Devil Wears Prada", "Cleopatra", "Cats"... and "Leading the Coquettish", which represents the popular trend among American teenagers in the 90s.

This is a classic film enough to be loaded into pop culture.

It is also the most important and perfect first link in the career she planned for herself.

After becoming famous, she is eligible to choose more scripts and roles, and then she is eligible to compete with actresses at the level of Winona Ryder and even Julia Roberts.

No matter when and where, she hates feeling inferior.

Josie has a little trouble.

Sitting in front of her was a Slavic woman, about forty years old, tall and plump, looking at Josie with red eyes.

Simple luggage was placed at the other party's feet.

This is the living room of Josie's Spanish villa, and this woman's name is Dorota Szakoski, who has been her nanny since she was a child.

Josie has a headache.

Dorota is the person she has been with the longest in these years. She is not so much a nanny, but more like a family member who accompanies her to grow up.

Now, though, Josie wasn't exactly "Josie."

Of course, there was no doubt that Dorota would never do anything to hurt her. Even if she found that Josie's personality had changed drastically, she would only blame it on puberty—but the problem was that Josie was afraid.

She pursed her lips, picked up the lemonade on the small coffee table, and took a sip.

Josie said, "Dorota, I'm very poor now."

Her career has just started, and the salary in her hand is not even enough for daily expenses. Unless all the salary of "Leading the Coquettish" arrives, it will only slightly solve the urgent need, but there is still a British inheritance tax waiting for her to pay.

——The inheritance laws in the UK are different from those in the US. This part happens to be the one that needs to pay taxes before inheriting.

Dorota looked a little surprised, and replied: "But my salary is paid by the foundation left by your mother, miss."

Josie sighed: "But I'm very busy now."

Dorota immediately burst into tears, and said: "I can see that you have lost weight, you are so pitiful."

"I mean, I have a lot of things to do." Josie said helplessly, "I have to take classes, film movies, organize my finances, and I need an assistant, not a babysitter."

Dorota choked, but said in her mouth: "But I'm much more reliable than those Hollywood assistants, and I don't spend any money."

It doesn't cost money...it's just too tempting.

Josie feels corrupted by capitalism.

She was silent for a while, and then told Dorota, "Go and choose a room."

Dorota burst into laughter immediately.

Immediately asked in multiple voices: "Good lady! What would you like to have for lunch? Afternoon tea is still the old rule, right? I wonder if you miss the scones and almond honey cake I made?"

Josie rubbed her temples, "I don't need it today, Dorota, I have to go out for a while, you take a rest, and take a good look at the house."
