[US Entertainment] Popular all over the world

"What did you say, Josie Horton turned down Romeo and Juliet?"

In an apartment in the Upper East Side of New York, Kara Dennis let out an exclamation almost out of composure.

She stood in the elegant living room of her home, and her daughter Claire Dennis was sitting on the sofa in front of her. The latter noticed the surprise that could not be concealed in her mother's tone, and cast a puzzled look.

Kara made a "wait a minute" gesture to Claire and continued on the phone: "Yes, I know, although no one can understand the choice of Josie Horton and her agent, but for us Said, this is a very good thing."

"Baz Luhrmann's top actress audition list is the daughter of the Hirschlers? Oh, no kidding, no one walks into a movie theater for a pure Jewish Juliet, my Claire is the best!"

A faint smile appeared on Cara's mature and noble face, holding the phone receiver in her left hand, and gently resting her right hand under the left elbow, her posture was very elegant.

She continued: "David Rubin? I remember this Hollywood casting director. He originally liked Josie Horton, that silly blonde girl, but now she's out. I'm afraid he prefers Sarah Michele." El Gellar, he just likes that kind of sweet girl."

I don't know what was said on the other phone, the smile on Kara's lips became a bit arrogant, she slowly brushed her long and curly blond hair, and then said: "Oh, indeed, we can indeed help her and her family, but the question is whether Jill Bilcock, one of the producers of Romeo and Juliet, can reciprocate."

"She's still a bit off by herself, and I think we still need Judy."

Kara ended the call.

When she turned her head, Claire was looking back with a little anxiety, and clutched the corners of her clothes with her hands on her knees.

"Claire, what do you want to say?" Kara asked.

"Mom, we've been asking Judy for help..." Claire raised her head and glanced at Carla quickly, "I mean, will it make Judy feel unhappy."

Kara raised her eyebrows and asked, "Unhappy? Why do you feel unhappy?"

With a graceful figure, she walked over to Claire and sat down, leaning on the cushion of the sofa, and raised her hand to touch Claire's cold cheek.

"My daughter is the best, and it was doomed from the moment you were born." Cara's tone was taken for granted, "Do you think that Jodie Foster is really so generous and has been helping us for free? No, you Wrong. Judy has great ambitions, she wants to establish her own "circle" in Hollywood, and you happen to be a very potential newcomer actor. Therefore, she is willing to support you, not just because of your grandfather's relationship. "

Competition on the Upper East Side is brutal.

For admission, the children of these people began to race from fertilized eggs, while those stereotyped housewives were always tall and slender, wearing platinum bags and high heels, and were proud to be the first to wear bikinis after giving birth.

In this atmosphere, comparisons are indispensable.

Diamond rings and luxury cars are just low-level tastes. Luxury yachts, private jets and islands are worthy of envy. Of course, the degree of excellence of the children is also important. Ivy is the basic configuration. Isn't it a glorious career?

But this year Hollywood has produced a super newcomer Josie Horton who is difficult to copy.

The same wealthy background, the same blond hair and blue eyes, the same slender and slender, and the same youthful beauty.

Even Kara, Claire's mother, can only comfort herself. Although Josie Horton's real performance is not bad, she doesn't have much style, and she is an idol star in a popular sense.

And Claire's goal is that the best actresses of this generation are actresses.

However, Josie Horton's sudden abandonment of "Romeo and Juliet" greatly reduced Kara's sense of threat to this girl, because it was obvious that the other party and the team were not very smart.

— they missed an important movie.

There are too few good-looking youth films in Hollywood, and there are even fewer teenage characters who can show their personal charm without showing off their sex appeal.

Carla was not in the habit of feeling sorry for her enemies, and she even popped a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

On the other side, at Hershler's home in New York, 14-year-old Natalie Portman gently hung up the phone.

"How is it?" asked her mother, Mrs. Hirschler.

"Tomorrow I will fly to Sydney for an audition." Natalie turned her head, her big bright eyes were full of ambition, "Mom, I will get this role!"

Thanks stupid Miss Josie Horton.

She gave up a role that almost every young Hollywood actress dreams of, and there were plenty of laughs tonight.

However, when the news came that Josie Horton was about to play the leading role in Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise's new film, everyone's reactions became very complicated.

"$300 million? Are people in Columbia crazy, or are they totally smitten with this chick!"

"Josie Horton and Tom Cruise in a romance? It feels so bad it's unimaginable."

"Oh, what a lucky girl, she made the pay leap from rookie actor to second-tier star in just one film."

"I have to say that she and her management team are too impatient. The status of a youth idol star has not yet established a solid foundation, and she wants to transform into a real adult actor. Well, it doesn't look like Kevin Howian's style."

People in the industry have different opinions on this, but it is undeniable that no one does not envy Josie for her exaggerated $300 million salary when she starred in her second movie.

——The salary of "First Fear" can't be counted, it is a charity film.

"It's really $300 million?"

Brand Renfro raised an eyebrow at his assistant Billy in the dressing room on the set of "Brother Four" in the Greenpoint district of Brooklyn, New York.

"Yes, I heard Mr. Pete say that when he was chatting," Billy replied.

The Mr. Pitt he mentioned is another Brad in the crew, the big star Brad Pitt. During the chat, the other party lamented that the current speed of youth idols is too amazing. Only one movie has changed from an unknown newcomer to One step into the ranks of second-tier stars, the other depends on how she performs in the next two movies.

Billy glanced at Brad's expression quietly, and added, "I thought you were really a fan of that girl, Brad."

"Come on, Billy, don't you know what kind of person I am?" Brad sneered, with an incongruous rebellion on his melancholy and weak face, "I really liked her short film, she I got a role that made my heart beat. But that doesn't mean a thing, because I can be anyone's fan anytime, if I need to."

Regrettably, Keanu Reeves, who was the most suitable star to "rescue" Brad that night, didn't take the bait, so Brad had to make a fool of a bunch of jerks and bastards before finally getting away with difficulty.

But that party also landed Brad his current role, playing the young leading man in the ongoing filming of The Four, the boyhood of Brad Pitt's character.

There are also excellent actors such as Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman in the prime of life on the same crew, which allowed Brad to temporarily forget that Bryan Singer lingered on him that night, that kind of Greasy and disgusting eyes.

"Lucky enough to make people envious." Brad muttered to himself.

It can only be said that the notebooks are really rich.

In order to win the content war of the new generation of products, they keenly aimed at one of the most popular female stars in the current video market.

It must be explained here that the phenomenal summer movie "Leadership" has been gradually released, and the accumulated total box office in North America is about 5000 million US dollars, which is not very outstanding in terms of this alone.

In fact, box office revenue is no longer the most important part of a movie's profit. Copyright revenue from various channels is the major part of cost recovery. "Leading the Coquettish" not only made Paramount a lot of money at the box office, but also The performance in the video tape market is truly amazing.

According to the data of the industry statistics company, those teenagers are simply obsessed with this movie, and fans continue to ask about other movies of the heroine of "Leading the Show".

And this is the main reason why Columbia is willing to spend a lot of money on Josie Horton.

In order to expand its media content library, Columbia's parent company, Sony Group, can be said to be doing everything possible, because Sony lacked product support in the 70s, so that the VSH format video storage technology developed by Panasonic replaced Sony's BETA format. Occupying the videotape market in an all-round way caused Sony to suffer heavy losses.

Only with "Final Fantasy 7" exclusive to the PS console, Sony, which realized the importance of content output, killed Sega and Nintendo. Only then did Sony successfully break into Hollywood and turn Colombia into Sony Columbia.

But now, with the rapid development of multimedia technology, the new generation of optical storage products is fiercely unfolding from an angle that people can't see.

The turmoil in Hollywood has nothing to do with Josie for the time being.

Because before that, she had already officially entered the crew of "Level One Fear" and was filming her own scenes in retreat.

5555 Melrose Boulevard, in Studio 20 of Paramount Studios, Josie dyed her long light blonde hair with silver light, which matched her big cornflower-colored eyes perfectly.

"I think it's a bit too flashy." Josie shook her head, her shawl-length hair swaying gently with her movements, like a piece of fine silk, shining with astonishing luster.

"There is a little bit." Jeanne Claudia Opua, the art director of "First Fear", said aside, "And you look, you know what I mean, it's amazingly beautiful."

Such exclamation is not particularly exaggerated.

Due to the extra attention to maintenance, Josie's skin became fairer and more delicate, without any spots or dullness after exposure to sunlight. Especially recently, she was in a good mood, and her skin exuded a healthy and rosy luster, almost with a soft glow.

"No, that won't work." Josie pouted, "Can you make my hair darker, Ella, I look like a vampire from an Anne Rice novel."

——Anne Rice is the original author of the movie "Interview with the Vampire". Her vampire chronicle series has already released the fifth "Mainock the Devil".

Ella Elliott, the crew's makeup artist, let out a chuckle and joked as she picked up the pointed tail comb and volume spray: "You take good care of your hair."

Connie Wilson, the producer of Paramount, also said: "We didn't expect you to dye it like this. Don't you plan to share your hair care methods?"

Josie blinked and replied slowly: "It's nothing special. It's just a hair mask or hair mask treatment every two or three days. After washing your hair, try to dry it with a soft towel. Blow-dry, use oils before and after blow-drying, trim the ends every week... But most of all, I have naturally fine hair."

The ladies who had been listening intently twitched the corners of their mouths in unison when Josie said the last sentence.

Ella shrugged, looked at her watch and said, "Call Director Hobright over to take a look, he is the BOSS."

At this time, someone knocked on the door of the dressing room, and Josie's assistant El's voice came from outside the door: "Josie, the assistant director reminded you that you should enter the studio."

"I see, El." Josie touched her hair, thought for a while and said, "It's a pity, and I also think this color is beautiful."

But the impoverished runaway girl has a head of carefully permed and dyed glossy hair. This kind of image is too inconsistent.

Director Gregory Hobright wanted the character of "Alan" to look more deceptive, more like an innocent angel, which led the makeup department to give Josie a new hair color.

But after seeing Josie's new look, Hoblit felt that her original dark gold color was better, so Josie, who joined the group on the first day, didn't even take a photo of her makeup, and went back and forth all day , It was not until the next day that he officially entered the studio to meet the actor Richard Gere.

Compared with the last audition experience that was not pleasant, today's Richard Gere has cut his hair short and blown it, and put on a suave gray Armani suit. Mature charm.

He first saw Josie stepping on the spot, her expression was not relaxed and happy, and he turned his eyes away as if he hadn't seen it.

But it's a pity that you, Josie, are very sensitive to people's gaze, and she felt it almost as soon as Richard Gere looked over.

Regarding this, Josie smiled slightly and said nothing.

She put on a loose prison uniform, which further accentuated her weak and innocent image. With her light and holy light blond hair, she was almost non-aggressive.

Hobright is also quite interesting.

Knowing that the two leading actors had conflicts, the first scene they filmed today was the one where they auditioned for Richard Gere and was suppressed. I just don’t know if Richard Gere, who has readjusted his state, can hold on Own A coffee style.

Shooting begins.

Perhaps because both parties came prepared, the performance of the two actors in this scene was unbelievably good, but the problem is——

"CUT." Hoblit frowned in front of the monitor, and did not issue an instruction immediately.

To be honest, the scene just now was almost perfect, except that the overbearing Richard Gere was too emotional and covered half of Josie's face intentionally or unintentionally during the filming.

But it would be a pity for Hobright to say that this article is abolished, because the whole performance was full of emotions and tension, and even the scene where Richard Gere took Josie away by a single move also carried the barrister's voice. Martin's overbearing strength.
