[US Entertainment] Popular all over the world

"So, you think she is exactly the kind of person described in the article, right?"

A daytime talk show on TV is showing a hostess interviewing a young girl who seems to be one of Josie's nominal high school classmates. Facing the live camera, she exaggerates and fabricates black material about Josie, and claims that she His grades were all fake, and he was able to go to college entirely by throwing money at him.

Josie glanced at it with interest until Brittany switched channels seemingly inadvertently.

Overnight, Josie seemed to be forgotten by Hollywood, without any scripts delivered to her door, let alone any audition invitations.

But it doesn't matter, because she still has enough important capital to make a comeback, such as "Titanic", what she needs to make sure is that she can finish this movie smoothly, so she has been quite active with James Cameron recently Talk about the status of this project.

And, she has asked private detective Don Conkey to investigate some things, and she can fight back when she is ready.

Josie noticed that Brad Renfro at the table pushed away the milk and sun eggs with a look of disgust, and couldn't help smiling.

As she put them back in front of him, she said to Martha on the phone: "I'll keep an eye out - by the way, just a few seconds ago, your new client, Mr. Renfro, rejected the custard yet again. , I personally think he needs to talk to you."

After speaking, Josie handed the phone to Brand.

With a bitter face, Brand had no choice but to take it and listen to Martha Miller's extraordinarily well-founded chatter.

Not long ago, he fired the original agent who was not very decent, and vowed to stay away from those former friends as much as possible, and begged Josie to introduce a serious and responsible agent to him.

Although she didn't know what happened in the middle, because of Brad's sincerity, Josie made a phone call for him. Unexpectedly, her own manager was very impressed with Brad, and in turn asked Josie if he would mind. Mind sharing an agent with Brad.

On this point, Josie didn't care.

Although one of the golden rules in the industry is never to share a broker with a lover or best friend, it is because the former will have a conflict of interest when the relationship changes, and the latter is prone to uneven distribution of resources.

Fortunately, Brad has neither.

And not Brad, there will be others.

As a result, Brad joined CAA and belonged to Martha Miller's client list. Since then, he has an agent who is comparable to a high school principal to him.

"Brad, you need to stop drinking."

"Brad, I'll arrange a tutor for you."

"Brad, according to your medical report, you must consume enough eggs and milk every day."

"Brad, I want you to know that because of malnutrition, you may not continue to grow taller."

Brad, Brad, Brad, the boy who is docile on the outside and rebellious on the inside hates being controlled, but he keenly feels the kindness and care of others, and he can't accept being shorter than Josie, so he has to follow the rules silently. Follow Martha Miller's instructions to do it.

While suppressing his nausea, he swallowed a big mouthful of pure milk, and compared the height difference between the two to Brittany who was gloating.

Brittany, who was four inches shorter than Brad, suddenly became furious, and turned her head and shouted to Dorota in the kitchenette of the suite: "Dorota, Brad and I both need two sun eggs, thank you! "

Josie shook her head helplessly, and asked, "Tell me, what job opportunities do you have recently?"

"I want to do voiceover for an animated film, it should be very interesting." Brittany said enthusiastically, "Also, "U-turn" and two small-budget independent productions are being negotiated, oh, the audition that day I also met Jack Black, who was even more humorous than what I had seen on "Two Bob and David."

"Jack Black? I also think he is full of jokes." Dorota said so after putting down four sun eggs.

"Ewww—" Brad resisted visibly, but thanked Dorota anyway, "I thank you, Dorota, promise me to cook them for me next time, please?"

Dorota gave Brad a loving smile.

Brad turned to Josie and said, "The producer of "The Ultimate Witness", Guy Ferland, has changed careers and became a director. He hopes to cooperate with me, but I read the script, and it seems a bit... confused? I don't know. So sure."

"If you are not sure, then there is a high probability that it is really confusing." Josie paused, drank her own milk, and then continued: "Or you can listen to Martha's opinion. Besides, I Remember you're going to be filming "In the Name of Love" and "Jurassic Park 2" next."

"Yeah, I know, there's just a dozen weeks between them. Well, I'll talk to Martha about it," Brad replied.

It is now May of 1996. Josie thought carefully about the recent events, and silently swallowed a mouthful of cherry tomatoes cut in half.

"I saw a script of a youth horror film before, called "I Know What You Did Last Summer". The story and characters are not bad. If you want to gain popularity among teenagers, this will be a good choice." She Glancing at Brittany and Brad, the former's eyes were empty, while the latter frowned. "There is also a script for a niche literary film, which needs to be able to play pulleys and face-on. The script is very good, but I feel that Brittany, like me, has no way to accept this kind of nudity."

"Boogie Nights" is a feature film about the changes of the American porn industry through group portraits. The director is the future famous Paul Thomas Anderson, referred to as PTA.

At the beginning, Leonardo DiCaprio was locked in as the leading actor Dick Digger, and Josie was invited to play the role of the pulley girl.

But on the one hand, they have already signed contracts with the crew of "Titanic", and there is a conflict in the schedule; on the other hand, the pulley girl has a full-frontal, naked scene in the script, and Josie has not been able to accept this scale.

More importantly, the actor who took over from Leonardo was Maggie Mark.

She had no choice but to say goodbye to the future famous director PTA.

"Full frontal, nude? That's fine." Brittany's ambition is not strong enough to make such a big sacrifice, "I'll ask my agent to inquire about that horror movie."

Brad chuckled, "Sometimes I wish I could be 20 or even 30 years old next year, so that the range of roles left for me will be much wider, instead of being in the embarrassment of being a child to an adult like I am now. Expect."

"Drink more milk, Brad." Brittany couldn't help complaining, "otherwise your embarrassing period will last for a long time."

After the breakfast meeting for the three of them, it was time to go to work, to go to acting school.

Josie and Kelly drive to Warner Bros. Studios for their second round of auditions.

Obviously, David Geffen's revenge has begun.

Yes, he ruined her reputation and made her unavailable for now—but don't forget that Hollywood is the most realistic interest animal, as long as her next movie continues to be a hit, the ban he thinks will do nothing.

The second round of auditions for "LA Confidential" has begun.

When I arrived at the studio for this audition, I ran into Russell Crowe flirting with another blonde actress. The latter giggled and whispered to Russell Crowe after noticing Josie's appearance .

Josie didn't bother to pay attention, and turned to the clothing department to change.

Before leaving, Josie clearly felt Russell Crowe glance at herself.

And the high-pitched voice of the actress reached her ears——

"Russell, tell me, do you really feel love at first sight for this kind of girl who just grew up? Even in a movie. Don't you think she has no qualifications to be a heroine? Unless she falls asleep ..."

Josie curled her lips and smiled, but she remembered the actress's face.

Of course, she won't make extra trouble at this moment, and then send her black material to those people.

But this does not prevent her from writing down a small note in her heart.

The crew's costume designer Ruth Miles' assistant gave her a top and a short skirt, "This is the uniform for you, put it on."

This time, the audition required the actress to be without makeup in advance, so Qiao Qian did not do styling today, nor did she bring her styling team.

But, to her surprise, they actually prepared her a costume that was almost a sexy uniform?

Look at the short top with the neckline open to the bottom, and the hip skirt that can just cover the buttocks. The material of the clothes is even more light and rough.

Josie really doubted that if she moved a little more arc, she would have to perform live.

Not to mention, they were all crumpled and exuded an indescribable smell.

"That's it?" She picked up a strap of her jacket, threw it aside casually, and asked with a half-smile.

"Everyone is the same." The assistant pointed impatiently at a corner of the room, where a black curtain was used to make a partition that only allowed one person to turn around, "Go there and change, they are already waiting for you."

It seems that this female assistant is indeed impatient, but her micro-expression makes people feel that something is suppressed... Disgust, anticipation, and excitement?

Josie thought about it.

"El, go check there." She pointed to the black curtain, "From top to bottom, from the inside to the outside."

El silently stepped forward.

The assistant didn't panic, and stood with his arms folded, and said, "Be careful, if something is missing here, we will definitely call the police."

Josie sneered, and turned around to tell Kelly beside her: "Give me a disinfectant wipe, Kelly, and turn on the handheld camera in your bag, we just brought it today."

This handheld camera made by Sony was originally used by Josie to film her performance training, but she didn't expect it to come in handy now.

The assistant's face turned green when they heard that they were wearing hand-held cameras, and this time she really urged Josie impatiently: "Miss Horton, are you going to audition or not? Do you know that everyone in the studio Waiting for you? Even if you don't care about delaying our work, don't you want this role?"

At this time, El did not know where to find a recording pen and handed it to Josie.

Josie took it over and took a look, and found that the recording pen was working, so she broke it in two, making others feel guilty.

She hands Al the broken recorder to dispose of, and gives Kelly another look.

Kelly understood, stepped forward and pinched the suit in disgust, threw it directly on the assistant's face, and said loudly: "Keep it for yourself! Bitch!"

Things had come to this point, and Josie was completely out of the mood for an audition.

To put it bluntly, she was not the kind of actor who actively dedicated herself to art, and the role in "L.A. Confidential" was not the type she liked very much—she liked the whole script more.

And even if it was "Titanic", Josie didn't think that she could endure these endless disgusting things for a movie and a role.

She would rather find another way out, even though it might be harder and longer.

However, since someone wants to force her to quit, she will do what they wish for the time being, but she swears that she will remember everything she has suffered right now.
