[US Entertainment] Popular all over the world

Others don't know the inside story.

But he knew, they must have dated, and even Keanu treated this girl a little bit special.

Because she is too clean.

It's not that her heart is so pure and flawless, but that she has a quality that has not been infected by darkness. Even though she is very clear about the true appearance of this circle, she has never had any naive illusions about human nature.

She seems to have been standing outside this world.

Most people change themselves more or less when they enter Hollywood.

Either they have become sophisticated and handy, or they have lost their original vision for this industry, or they are going through a lot of suffering... But Josie Horton, a girl, has a very clear goal.

Usually, such people will do whatever they can to achieve their goals.

Geffen heard Josie chuckle on the other end of the line, and then she said, "Just try it, Geffen, I don't care."

Josie was really about to laugh.

So what makes David Geffen think it's just a simple love affair?

Or, she has always given him the impression that she is so in love?

——Unexpectedly, within reason.

Surprisingly, the girl who was hurt did not retaliate because of love and hatred as he imagined.

But what is gratifying is that she turned out to be so loyal.

Loyalty is sometimes more important than smooth sophistication.

"Oh?" Geffen was slightly surprised, but his tone turned gentle, and said, "Okay, don't be so serious-I just made a little joke with you, Josie, and I don't It's going to be hard on my friends. Some of the media coverage is so bad, I'll take care of it for you, don't worry, keep making your movies, no one can take your part away."

Despite saying this, Geffen has already put Josie Horton on the other side of the phone on his blacklist.

While chatting with Josie in a gentle tone, he had already thought of a way to hit the young female star in his heart.

Geffen returned to his amiable manner in a flash. "We're still not enemies anyway, are we?"

Josie felt a little uneasy, but this did not prevent her from being wary of David Geffen.

"If you think so." She gave an ambiguous answer.

After finishing the call, Josie slowly closed her eyes while holding the phone, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Talking to David Geffen is more difficult than facing Frank Horton, perhaps because the latter will still maintain a certain bottom line, but the former only depends on how he killed Michael, the No. 1 Hollywood power list Ovitz, you know how much David Geffen spares no effort in dealing with real enemies.

——The most frightening thing is that Michael Ovitz doesn't even know how he offended David Geffen.

In contrast, Keanu's current professional dilemma can be said to be just a punishment, not like Michael Ovitz, who was set up with many traps and killed when the other party was proud.

What is embarrassing is that the founder and former president of the dignified super agency CAA was powerless in front of David Geffen. He easily used the position of CEO of the six major film companies to lure Michael O. Witts sold his CAA shares - the top six film industry executives are not allowed to retain the equity of the brokerage company - and finally stuffed Michael Ovitz into the restrained Disney Pictures.

An industry leader who could have used CAA to dominate Hollywood, but within a year or two, he became one of the Hollywood executives without power.

Manipulating people's hearts is the third art in Hollywood.

The next morning, Warner Bros. Studios, "LA Confidential" audition office.

This is the second time Josie has met Russell Crowe—she met him at Mackey Mark's party when she first entered the industry—the Australian actor is now in his early thirties, with a mature and determined face full of It belongs to the masculine charm of men, but the blue eyes are melancholy and deep, as if expressing infinite emotions.

When Josie was waiting in the waiting area after putting on her makeup, Russell stood by the door not far away and watched her silently. His gaze was like an invisible ruler, measuring her back inch by inch.

Josie, who had a keen sense, noticed it immediately.

Not to mention, she also has a hand-held vanity mirror in her hand.

But after 5 minutes, Josie turned around, first sat on the sofa and adjusted the most comfortable posture, then propped her chin with one hand, put the other hand on her overlapping knees, and then used a more unscrupulous Looking back, he looked at this tall and rugged Australian man from beginning to end several times.

Her personal hairstylist, Chris Hunt, is carefully adjusting her Veronica Lake side-parted vintage curls with a point-tail comb to keep it looking perfect and shiny.

Noticing the eye contact between the two, Chris whispered into Josie's ear, "Whoa, for God's sake, this guy is so handsome, and I bet this movie will come out. There are countless people who want to be crushed by him!"

Josie sneered and looked away.

"Keri, you're such a little bitch." She raised her eyes and scolded with a smile: "I remember you have a boyfriend, right? Don't use a little hairspray, now I feel that my whole body tastes like hairspray."

"Having a boyfriend doesn't stop me from enjoying the beauty!" Chris still took the hairspray and sprayed it on the top of her head lightly, raising his eyebrows by the way.

Josie also smirked at him and said, "Unfortunately, your heart is so straight and straight, so give up, sister."

Makeup artist Michelle Baker, who was about to reapply Josie's lipstick, squeezed Chris's place and said, "I will always be a huge fan of Keanu, so please don't praise other men in front of my idol's rumored girlfriend, understand What do I mean, Kerry?"

Chris shrugged nonchalantly.

The entourage that Martha arranged for Josie's audition today is quite spectacular, hair stylist Chris Hunter, makeup artist Michelle Baker, body makeup artist Brooke Lukes, personal assistant Kelly Wilson, bodyguard and driver A El. Keizer, she herself is sitting at the CAA headquarters, and she didn't appear here.

But even so, the staffing brought by other actresses who came to the audition was almost the same, filling the entire venue mightily.

Not long after, the casting assistant called Josie's name.

Josie gathered her ankle-length velvet cape and walked into the audition room alone.

After entering the room, the first thing Josie noticed was Arnold Milkan, the producer who had collaborated on the project of "The Devil's Advocate", but Arnold Milkan was not sitting in the middle of the room today. s position.

This time the atmosphere of the audition was much more formal.

The audition room is divided into two spaces.One side is arranged as a simple studio, with some lighting and monochromatic scenery, and a black sofa; on the other side, a long table is set up, where people who have a say in the casting of this project sit, such as the producer People, directors, screenwriters, etc.

The casting director, Ms. Mary Finn, has cooperated with Josie's old acquaintance. She took a look at Josie's appearance today, and was satisfied with it in her heart, and said out loud, "Josie Horton, I don't think there is any need for introduction Right? I worked with Josie on Titanic, and Jim and I were blown away by her performance."

"But as usual, we still need to see today's performance." Producer and screenwriter Brian Helgeland said, "Curtis, what do you think?"

Director Curtis Hansen is a middle-aged man with gray and white curly hair, habitually frowning, and his gaze is very focused, "Miss Horton, please perform in front of the camera and follow my instructions, now May I begin?"

"Okay." Josie nodded.

Curtis Hansen asked her to make some smiling and crying expressions, and asked the assistant to bring her the prepared script fragments and the non-disclosure agreement.

"Next, we hope you can try this scene in the script." Curtis Hansen flipped through the form that the assistant had just handed him, frowned subconsciously, and said: "Okay, we need a Those who play with Josie, why not—"

"Let me do it." A tall man stepped out from the corner.

He was unremarkable in the room, but as soon as he entered the studio, his face was completely exposed to the light, and he became very attractive.

Curtis Hansen frowned slightly, and said, "That would be great, Russell."

Russell Crowe just smiled at him, and silently walked to Josie's side.

Under the light, the man and woman looked very suitable. Josie Horton, who was worried that she was too young, changed into the corresponding look of the heroine, and she unexpectedly had a calm temperament and a beautiful appearance, without any immature or youthful feeling .

At least in terms of appearance, they are not as easy to make people play as the actress who was nearly fifty years old.

"Josie, Russell, you will sit on the sofa for a while, and then you hug and kiss. Russell, you can hold Josie's waist, I hope you will show a very romantic and intimate, and blood-pulling feeling, because It was this scene that made Ed, who was spying outside, lust for Lynn."

"As for you, Josie, you need to relax and enjoy your state. Your role is a special professional who is used to being romantic, but Russell's role is different for you. This man has given you a brand new It feels like, you enjoy your relationship, but you don't know what's going to happen next second."

Curtis Hansen temporarily talked about the scene for 5 minutes, because this scene has no lines and only a few lines of description in the script, but as the director Curtis Hansen thinks it is very important, it is A key foreshadowing.

He left 5 minutes for the two actors to exchange ideas, and sat back in his original position, waiting for the performance to start.

However, it wasn't until the last minute that there was a short conversation between these two strangers who didn't know each other.

"Are you going to keep doing this?" Russell Crowe asked.

"What?" Josie was about to walk towards the sofa when she subconsciously raised her head.

Russell Crowe stepped forward and reached out to Josie, as if to touch her face.

but not.

His hand landed on the tie of the cloak she imitated Veronica Lake, and with a hook of his fingers, he untied the knot for her, and smoothly caught her slipped long cloak.

"You're welcome." The Australian man raised his lips, his smile was a bit sinister, and he didn't hide the strong interest in his eyes.

Josie, who was about to dodge originally, relaxed her tense body a little, and returned him a fleeting smirk.
