[US Entertainment] Popular all over the world

"So?" Josie stepped on a blue-purple yoga mat with her bare feet, raised her arms above her head, and asked half-jokingly and half-seriously: "He won't be so whimsical, let you persuade me to quit, no Will it not--Amy?"

Amy let out a snort, rolled her eyes at the cunning little bastard, and acquiesced to the matter.

Josie exhaled a long breath, changed her posture following the rhythm, and said to herself in a steady breath: "He doesn't think I'm suitable for this role, is it because I'm not pretty or sexy enough? Oh, neither, he thinks I lack a kind of gentle motherhood, I guessed right by looking at your expression."

It may sound outrageous that Jean — whose birthday is coming soon — will play a 25-year-old single mother, but Caucasian women are generally precocious, and the role was originally set Just a confused egg in his early twenties who got pregnant out of wedlock.

The problem is that most actresses and teen idols wish they had a longer adolescence, as if once they play the role of mother, they have to enter the real adult world of Hollywood early.

That wouldn't be cool enough.

Amy said helplessly: "You really want this role? I thought you would take another script from Columbia, "Dad! I Was Kidnapped."

It was a script that Columbia specially asked someone to write for Josie. It told the story of a rich daughter who planned to kidnap herself, but after reading it, Josie thought the story was boring, so the project was shelved.

"I can't help it. Most of the characters who come to me are similar rich girls, but I really don't want to be fixed in the same way." Qiao Qian said that she was quite pitiful, and showed a little grievance at the right time. "I just want to act well, choose the scripts and roles I like, but even my agent expects me to be a sweet girl who is responsible for giggling."

Her grievances are just right, but it's a pity that Amy was fooled as early as when she was filming "Leading the Coquettish", and she didn't look at her big watery eyes at the moment, and pierced her in a cool tone: "Stop acting, Maybe it would be more convincing if you weren't doing your yoga and acting on me."

Josie changed her expression instantly and gave Amy a smirk.

Then the upper body leaned down, the abdomen was close to the thighs, and silently felt his own breathing.

She heard Amy quickly defected from the enemy, and began to analyze for her: "I see what you mean, Josie. But to be honest, to get this role, you have to conquer Cameron G. Luo, because the casting director recommended Renee Zellweger, and Columbia was originally your card."

There was nothing wrong with that, the director was an unavoidable person in the crew, especially the director also served as the producer.

Josie doesn't like inefficient crews, nor does she like unhappy crews, so she doesn't want to continue to put pressure on Columbia unilaterally, but to deal with Cameron Crowe herself.

What, isn't Tom Cruise enough of a casting call?

yes he can.

He is Tom Cruise after all.

But the problem is that the relationship between Josie and this big star is only "I am your fan", she herself can't remember how many people said the same thing, and the number of fans of Tom Cruise is so large that it is difficult statistics.

Slowly adjusting her breathing, Josie stretched her arms and did a simple stretch before getting off the yoga mat.

Under Amy's strange eyes, she put on a pair of indoor slippers and put on a thin shawl before saying, "I know, Amy, I will follow the normal procedure, don't worry."

Amy glanced at her.

Josie looked calm, her face was still sweet and charming with a natural blush after exercising.

So Amy felt relieved and replied: "That's good, you are all my friends, don't you understand?"

In fact, that's one of the reasons why she's here today, because of some messing around with Columbia's greedy head of production, plus Tom Cruise, the biggest actor on the "Mr. Sweetheart" project himself. , Amy's old friend Cameron Crowe is under tremendous pressure.

At this time, if Josie showed her determination to win the role, Crowe would most likely have to accept the heroine she didn't like.

Of course, Josie may not be suitable for the role of a single mother, but it doesn't matter, Columbia has long been prepared to work with the scriptwriters, even if the setting of single mothers is deleted.

——And Crowe really can't bear to part with this plot line.

This is also one of the reasons why Cameron Diaz's agent failed to negotiate this role for his client.

Josie poured herself a glass of warm water, took a sip, and said, "Of course I understand. So, as our mutual friend, you have to help me, Amy."

Amy nodded without refusing, and said directly: "Tell me, Josie, I will try my best to help."

Josie immediately said: "Find a time, take me to visit Cameron Crowe, I need to meet with him and talk about movies—not as Josie Horton."

"What do you mean?" Amy raised an eyebrow.

In an old house in the Silver Lake district of Los Angeles, Cameron Crowe is listening to his friend Ian Bryce.

His lips were half pursed, and he looked a little impatient, but with Ian Bryce's persuasion and communication, Cameron Crowe's face gradually improved, but he still didn't look happy.

"If that girl's audition is convincing, I can consider hiring her as the heroine of the movie." Cameron Crowe said with some reluctance.

In fact, this meant that he basically agreed to take a regular role, and he was no longer so resistant to Josie Horton, a young actress. Compared with the beginning, his attitude has greatly improved.

As for the reason for this, of course it comes from the well-known filmmaker Ian Kleiss in front of him.

This Mr. Ian Kleiss is a Hollywood producer. He worked for Steven Spielberg as an assistant director in the earliest days.

Afterwards, he turned to the field of film production, and his second film after switching careers was "Batman Returns" starring Michael Keaton, which became famous for a while.

And last summer, a "Speed" that swept the world not only made Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock popular, but also brought Ian Kleiss's career to a new high. become hotter.

Now he is recruited by his old friend Steven Spielberg and is working for Spielberg's Amblin Pictures and the Big Three's DreamWorks Pictures.

Hearing Cameron Crowe's answer, Ian Bryce immediately smiled and said, "I'm glad we can reach a consensus, Cameron, my friend."

"So Ian, about my next movie about rock 'n' roll..."

Cameron Crowe became a music critic for "Rolling Stone" magazine by chance when he was a teenager, so he got the opportunity to tour with a new wave rock band in the 70s. This experience deeply influenced him. He wrote the outline of a semi-autobiographical screenplay and hoped to actually make it into a movie.

"I know, I was looking for an opportunity to mention this matter to Mr. Geffen, about those music copyrights." Ian Bryce said, "As for the role you want to find Brad Pitt, I will also help You convey."

With such a promise, the last bit of reluctance in Cameron Crowe's heart disappeared.

It's just a role audition, if it doesn't fit, he can still do without the girl, can't he?

But today's actresses are really amazing.

At a young age, I knew how to get everything I wanted, whether it was finding a big Hollywood figure as a backer as soon as I debuted, or talking about a backer and exchanging resources for a role audition.

Well, if Josie Horton can have half the character fit of Renee Zellweger, Cameron Crowe thinks it is not unacceptable for her to be the heroine.

Because Cameron Crowe really wants to make his semi-autobiographical film, but David Geffen is the unnamed godfather of the music circle, especially the rock circle, and almost no one can surpass him to shoot such a film.

After the conversation with Cameron Crowe ended, Ian Kleiss quickly said goodbye and left Crowe's house.

And in the parking lot near the house, he unexpectedly met director Amy Heckerling who lives in New York.

"Hello, Amy, is there a new project here?" Ian Kleiss asked casually.

He noticed that Amy was not alone. She was accompanied by a young woman who looked like an assistant, an ordinary middle-class girl, wearing a pair of old-fashioned red-rimmed glasses, with a reserved expression.

Ian Kleiss smiled politely and looked away.

Amy shrugged and said, "Not so fast. I'm here to chat with old friends, and you, Ian?"

"There are some things to deal with." Ian Kleiss didn't say much.

The two exchanged a few simple greetings, then said their goodbyes and left. When Ian Kleiss drove out of the parking lot, Amy turned around and walked along the way he came.

On the way, Amy was a little surprised and said: "He didn't recognize you at all? I mean, you are also considered a super newcomer this year, and most people in the circle will be very sensitive to your face."

"Then I guess that Mr. Ian Kleiss just now may be a straight man." The "assistant" next to Amy, Josie in disguise, reached out and raised her glasses.

Generally speaking, straight men are not so sharp-eyed, and the evaluation criteria for appearance are usually very straightforward and simple.

And as an ordinary girl who is not fashionable and does not have a hot body and an angelic face, Josie, who looks a little dull and confused, is obviously ignored by people.

This is a good thing, which means that her role-playing today is very successful.

But Amy thinks that Josie is full of flaws.

Just relying on a pair of small glasses and changing her dressing style, her perfect face shape and beautiful facial features still exist there, and there is not much cover up.

She even just changed her hairstyle a little bit!

However, it is worth mentioning that after entering the role-playing role again, Josie's whole temperament has indeed changed. The deliberate adjustment of her posture makes her not so elegant or shining, but still has a bit of pleasing sweetness and charm. silly.

And that's enough.
