[US Entertainment] Popular all over the world

The greatest luck in a man's life is that he is always required to work hard to achieve success, while women are just the opposite.

The younger and more beautiful women are, the more they will be surrounded by countless temptations, as if they never need to experience any hardships and obstacles, and a light blowing kiss can win the whole world.

However, after the fairy tale ending in which the brave defeated the dragon, the rescued princess handed over the scepter of ruling the kingdom to the brave dragon slaying, which became the best decoration on the side of the throne.

Why can't the princess accumulate her own strength and slay the dragon by herself?

Or, the princess finally became the queen, and the brave man knelt before the throne and lowered his unruly head.

Early morning sunshine in Los Angeles.

The humid air flow at 34 degrees north latitude brings mild sea breeze, and the temperature in California in winter is still moderate, without the gloom and coldness of New York, which is always so refreshing.

At 08:30 in the morning, Josie, who finished training with El, changed her clothes and walked into the living room. She saw that the place was different from what she saw three or ten minutes ago. Not only was it crowded with strangers in black suits, There are also a lot of gift boxes on the floor, coffee table and sofa, and even a few safes.

To be honest, this battle is a bit exaggerated.

"What happened?" Josie asked, clutching her chest.

"They are all here to give you red carpet dresses and jewelry." Eve flipped through her notebook and shrugged indifferently, "But the quantity is different from what I expected."

"Hello, Ms. Horton, we are the brand publicist of the C family. Mr. Lagerfeld specially asked me to send these dresses here." One of the young women said.

Josie nodded, Eve and Martha had mentioned this to her before.

She looked at the others again and asked Eve, "What's the matter with them?"

The tall and slender Eve stepped on her four-inch high heels, pointed to those people and replied, "Mr. David Geffen sent some dresses from the high-end fashion store on Rodeo Drive, which are what you saw This part; in addition, these three are from Tiffany, Chaumet and Cartier, and the others are the security personnel they brought, in order to transport the jewelry in the safe on the table, they seem to be ordered for you by others."

"..." Josie was really surprised, "Order for me?"

It's not that she has too little knowledge, but that the three safes look very bluffing, ordinary jewelry can't be used in safes and security personnel.

Who can have such a generous amount?

Eve shrugged, "Tiffany is the jewelry sponsor we contacted."

"Yes, we are here to give you three sets of jewelry to be borrowed for you to choose from for the Oscar red carpet look." The Tiffany staff kept a polite smile, "Coincidentally, my colleague has an order here, and someone ordered I ordered a set of moonstone and sapphire jewelry for you, so I dropped by along the way."

Chaumet's staff interfaced: "A gentleman ordered a diamond tiara from us. Ms. Horton, can you confirm the receipt?"

Josie raised her eyebrows, raised her hand and made a gesture of vain pressure, "Wait, let them finish talking."

The staff of Cartier immediately said: "Your father, Frank Horton, photographed a set of Cartier emerald and diamond jewelry in the 20s three years ago. We are in charge of repairing them. Now they can be returned to the original owner."

The other party said that someone opened the safe, and a set of Art Deco jewelry lay quietly in Cartier's red box. The sparkling diamonds were inlaid with green agate gemstones in the shape of flowers and leaves, and the branches were decorated with pure black agate. Pairs of earrings, a necklace and a bracelet look worth a fortune.

As for Chaumet’s diamond tiara, bright white diamonds are paired with blue tourmaline and purple tanzanite. The design is based on the famous Petunia Whitney’s winged crown, but it is much smaller and lighter.

In contrast, Tiffany's moonstone suits are not as expensive as they are, but they have another kind of warm and subtle beauty.

However, Tiffany also brought three other sets of jewelry, which immediately won in terms of quantity.

As soon as the safes of the three jewelry brands were opened, the other gowns that had just been unfurled from the boxes were a bit bleak, but the number was dazzling.

"Do you like everything I prepared for you, my dear sweetheart?" Frank Holden's smiling voice came from far and near the gate, but when he walked into the living room, there were a lot of Rodeo The grand occasion of the top brands on the avenue made him dumbfounded, "Oh my God, well, I don't remember that I vacated Rodeo Drive."

Josie greeted Frank first, and explained, "I'm picking out my Oscar jersey."

"Yes, it is indeed the fitting arranged by Mr. David Geffen." Eve's tone was a little interesting, "But I forgot to tell you just now, there are three dresses that your friends personally selected for you. Here are the boxes and cards."

friends?

Josie walked over and removed the gift box closest to her first, and stretched out a male hand from the slant, and picked up the small card on the top of the box before her.

"'Have a nice trip to Oscar—K'." Frank smiled playfully, holding a small card and asked Josie: "Little girl, would you like to explain who this Mr. K is?"

"Dad, you're such a gossip." Josie shook the velvet dress and put it on the sofa.

Then she took out a dress with a different style from another box. After unpacking, she winked at Eve and shook her head quietly.

Eve immediately clapped her hands and said to the staff who were arranging other dresses: "You can go, Josie already has a dress she likes. We will call Mr. Geffen later to thank you."

The crowded living room suddenly emptied.

Eve also dismissed the people from the three jewelry brands, and then heard Josie compare the fiery red dress to her body while asking the rest of the people in the living room: "Which one do you think I should wear?" To the Oscars?"

"The answer to this question is which lucky boy do you prefer." Frank was pouring a cup of tea at some point and sipping it while sitting on an armchair, "A mysterious Mr. K, a friend of yours 'Ernie', and a well-known Mr. Uncle - I have to say, my dear little princess, you are as popular as I was when I was young."

"Thank you, Dad, if that's a compliment." Josie smirked.

"Of course it is," Frank said. "I think the white mermaid dress that Mr. K gave you is very good. The moonstone jewelry paired with the white mermaid dress is perfect."

"But there are no surprises." Josie commented.

"But you look good in anything, miss, I'm serious." Dorota said, but under Josie's dissatisfied gaze, she added: "If you have to choose, this velvet one is pretty good, it's you Will love the right fabric and fit."

Josie's eyes fell on El, who was beside him, and the latter replied very wisely: "I think this one is good too."

"But if you are going to accept Tiffany's jewelry sponsorship, I suggest you still choose this black dress from C." Eve motioned to the stylist at the side to bring over the proposed design drawing, "Because if you wear black , Not only will Tiffany not charge rental fees, but they are willing to pay double the sponsorship fees. And Mr. Lagerfeld is now willing to choose you as his spokesperson. I am afraid that your first Oscar red carpet will not be able to wear those blue-faced bosom friends gift."

"Okay. But for the party after the awards ceremony, I'm going to put them on - help me hang them in the glass wardrobe in the cloakroom, Dorota, thank you." Josie hadn't decided what to wear on the red carpet yet, and walked to Sitting next to him on another sofa, Frank asked, "Dad, why did you come to Los Angeles? I thought you had a lot to do in New York."

Frank glanced at El, who was as silent as a shadow, put down the bone china teacup in his hand, and replied, "I'm preparing to establish a new company in San Francisco, and I just received the news from Cartier about the completion of the jewelry set, so I'll come to Los Angeles to meet you." Meet my baby girl."

"Thank you, I like it very much." Josie showed a bright and sweet smile, "Whether it's Cartier, or you can come."

Frank also smiled and asked deliberately: "Then I'm curious, do you prefer Cartier, Tiffany, or Chaumet? Oh, actually, I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious."

"I like them all." Josie said, "I like every piece of jewelry that belongs to me. They are all deeply in my heart. Why do I have to choose?"

"But you can't wear them all on yourself." Frank seemed to be pointing.

"But I can put them all in my jewelry cabinet." Josie said casually, "I can take it out occasionally to admire, or occasionally dote on one of them, whether it is Cartier, Tiffany, Chaumet, in my It's all the same here."

As long as they all belong to her, why should they be divided into different categories?

Frank shook his head and said, "Josie, jewelry can do that, but the man you're with—not."

Josie didn't have the shyness that a young girl should have. She crossed her legs and asked nonchalantly, "Why not?"

"Dorota, Mr. Keizer, please stay away for a while." Frank nodded to the two of them - Eve had already seen that something was wrong and slipped away with the stylist and his party - and only leaned forward after they left Pointing to an Entertainment Weekly magazine on the table, she told Josie earnestly: "Honey, you are a girl and an actress who is on the rise. As a father, I support you to do your best when you are young. Enjoying the fun that belongs to young people, but this does not mean that you should be half-hearted, or with the kind of low-level actors in the crew-"

"I mean!" Josie suddenly interrupted Frank, "Why can you men, but we women can't?"

There was still a slight smile on her brow, but it was more of an irritated stubbornness, and a bit of undisguised sarcasm, looking straight into Frank's gaze.

She continued to ask: "Isn't this from your precepts and deeds, my dear father? We have tried our best to climb up, nothing more than to satisfy our own desire for power, not to always be controlled by others."

"Very well said." Frank looked at Josie with deep eyes, and replied, "Unfortunately, you are a woman and I am a man. People are envious of men's affairs, but they can't." Accept that women walk among all kinds of men and think they are slutty and shameless. This is the most common and simple ordinary family values. If you want to become a Hollywood superstar, you have to prepare yourself a man who fits their imagination. It is best to have a happy family, a happy marriage, and unswerving loyalty—to put it bluntly, 'Josie Horton' is not your property, but a beautiful product made by a team."

The smile on Josie's face slowly faded, she was thinking about whether she should panic like an ordinary girl, or give a silent sneer according to her true thoughts.

After a few seconds, she still chose to perform part of the former.

She stood up as if in disbelief, and accused her nominal father: "Commodity? I am not a 'commodity'! Why can you say such things to me without guilt? I am your daughter, not a subject Anything you manipulate, don't you think you have a very callous attitude?"

"No, I think it's reasonable. And I'm just trying my best to help you and help you recognize the reality of the profession of 'Hollywood star' early." Frank put on a look of connivance, and his tone was gentle and meek , "Also, as a normal father, what's wrong with caring about my daughter's private life?"

What's the problem?

Big problem!

In the past ten years or so, this "normal" father has not paid even a little care for his increasingly withdrawn daughter, but after the daughter grows up and sees a successful career, he suddenly becomes a kind father ——

What does he want from her?

A string of vigilance in Josie's mind was quietly tightened, and the feigned admiration disappeared, and she tried to figure out Frank's abnormal behavior in a cold and rational way.

But when she had just gone through those overly straightforward analyzes and guesses in her heart, there was a sudden sharp pain in her brain, as if a small sob echoed in her ears, and a trace of extraordinarily bitter heartache made her feel sick. She feels the same way.

In an instant, a look of resentment and resentment appeared on Josie's beautiful face.

Her clear voice rose sharply, and she asked sharply: "Before 'caring' about me, why can't you take care of yourself? Or, Mr. Horton, who is so high up, never thought about the reason why his daughter became like this , because of her flirtatious father. Oh! What a 'normal' father, you allowed me to be hurt by that disgusting mother and daughter, after they used you as a weapon to hurt Edna..."

The author has something to say: The heroine and her father play with each other~

This chapter begins with a passage from Beauvoir's "The Second Sex" to illustrate.
