CHAPTER 46, MARTHA,S REASON

Josie put down the script outline, spread her hand towards Kevin, and said, "Sorry, Kevin, I can't act in this film." Because I'm quite timid, I'm afraid of ghosts and don't watch horror movies, let alone let me act. "

The smile on Kevin's face froze, almost unable to maintain his expression management, he was stunned for a moment before helplessly asking: "Is it really not because of Weinstein?" "

Josie blinked innocently: "Who knows? But it's true that you're timid. "

She has never been interested in horror movies.

Let others recommend what classic movies such as "The Shining", "Midnight Bell", "Orphan Resentment", "The Conjuring" and so on, blowing the sky and not liking to watch.

Suppose someone deliberately takes her to a horror movie on a date, and she thinks she can't help but burst the man's dog's head.

Especially after experiencing the return to 1994 firsthand, she really couldn't fully believe in science... Josie silently recited the core values of socialism in her heart, and she felt that she was not affected by any strange influence.

"... All right. This result surprised Kevin and asked, "What about other scripts?" "

Josie thought for a while and replied, "There is some truth in what you said, and I decided to think about it for the time being. "

Kevin buttoned one of the buttons of his suit jacket, got up and said, "No problem, but you'd better give me an answer within 48 hours — Colombia is in a hurry." "

Josie nodded.

Kevin then left the company.

Josie glanced at the script of Romeo and Juliet out of the corner of her eye, got up from the recliner, and stretched.

In the pool, Breitney continued her sunbathing, and Josie didn't have much interest in joining in, so she put on her bathrobe and walked back into the house barefoot.

Dorota in the kitchen is preparing tonight's food, and the oven slowly emits a fusion aroma of mushrooms, onions, chicken and butter, which is intoxicating with sin.

Josie took a deep breath, went upstairs to take a shower and put a hair mask on her hair, and just as she wrapped her hair in a towel and applied a spreadable mask to her face, intending to carry out daily body skin care management, her other agent, Martha. Miller called.

"Hi Martha." Josie's voice echoed, and her bathroom was large and quiet.

"Hello, Josie." Martha said, "I think you've already met Kevin and the scripts he found, Romeo and Juliet, Mr. Sweetheart, and Horror Movies? "

It seems that while there are people within the CAA plotting to seize power, Ms. Miller has not completely forgotten her customers, and she still has a corresponding sense of vigilance and crisis.

This is good.

Josie dug a piece from a large jar of light green body cream, rubbed it with the palm of her hand and applied it evenly to her legs, holding the telephone receiver while moving, and said, "Since you know all about it, why don't you give me some of your professional advice?" "

She used a slow "also" with a seemingly absent smile in her voice.

Martha on the other end of the phone had expected it.

Almost without hesitation, her calm and fast voice came from the other end of the phone: "I suggest, Mr. Sweetheart." "

"Oh, tell me about it." Josie was noncommittal.

"Because that's what you really want, isn't it, Josie." Martha's side heard the sound of the steel wheel of the lighter turning, she lit a slender lady's cigarette and took a hard sip, "You don't want to be a youth idol star, you don't want to mix with the mess in the circle, you want different roles to bring you new challenges, and you want to be a Hollywood superstar who can decide anything for yourself - don't you, Josie?" "

Josie didn't speak, but let out a chuckle, which was of no apparent significance.

Martha let out a breath of smoke and said in a dumb voice: "If someone treats you like an ordinary young girl, then I am sure that he will achieve unexpected failure." "

This time, Josie finally said: "Oh, Martha, my dear friend, don't talk about it so seriously, you know, you have always been my most intimate partner." "

Martha laughed and said, "Yes, we are the most compatible. "

Because compared to most brokers, Martha. Miller still has a sense of morality above the average person, and she can even be said to be an idealist that is rare in this industry, and she enjoys the sense of accomplishment of bringing a rookie actor to the top stars of Hollywood.

Of course, until now, this great idea is only working, but Josie. Horton, an actress, is the most suitable client that Martha has met in her short career, both in terms of business ability and mindset.

And she couldn't help but recall another newcomer client she had served -

The same youthful beauty, the same talent, but sadly, before the other party became famous, he encountered a disgraceful private party, was poured with mixed spirits, and was violated by many people.

They chose to call the police, but it didn't work.

And such a blow is completely fatal for a young girl.

At that time, she only had two possibilities left, one was to allow herself to completely degenerate, and exchange her body for the weight of the upper position; The other is to escape from this nightmare world that has brought her endless damage as quickly as possible, as if nothing had ever happened.

It was obvious that the girl had chosen the latter.

Not everyone can be strong enough and fearless, and not everyone can calmly face people or things that disgust them, and accumulate strength at any time to put things right with their own hands in the future.

This is the most important reason why Martha is willing to saddle Josie's career.

"But you still don't know me well enough, darling." Josie's voice was light and sweet, like a smile on her face.

She intertwined her fingers, the warm cream carefully applied between each nail, and then she picked up the telephone receiver with one hand and held it up in front of her eyes with the other.

Under the soft warm light of the bathroom, the skin of her hands looks exceptionally delicate and smooth, her fingers are slender and slender, there is no excess Caucasian hair, the light bones are wrapped in plump skin, and even the nails exude a fair and healthy moisture.

Oh, the magic of money!

Josie's eyebrows were filled with joy and satisfaction visible to the naked eye.

"I mean, I want them all." She said slowly, "'Romeo and Juliet' and 'Mr. Sweetheart,' I want them all." "

Admittedly, Josie is not very impressed with "Romeo and Juliet", but she remembers that the film's evaluation and box office are good, and the male and female protagonists contributed their youthful peak appearance, and let Leonardo. DiCaprio had a large number of girlfriend fans before the big ship.

As for whether this will affect Josie's fight for "Titanic", I think I once invited Claire. Dennis auditioned for the actress James. Cameron didn't care.

Martha was silent for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "You don't need a vacation?" "

In general, Hollywood stars spend half of the year partying, vacationing, charging and anything other than work to kill the double stress of high-intensity shooting.

Young people will be more fun-loving, and some people will be addicted to nightlife, even sex, alcohol, and drugs just after becoming famous.

However, Martha's customers are not destined to be ordinary.

"Vacation? Why take time off? Josie's tone was a matter of course, "Is it unhappy at work or unhappy in making money?" "

Without waiting for Martha to react, Josie added: "I love work, I love to make money, work makes me energetic, making money makes me radiant!" "

She used a pompous aria, and her tone was very relaxed and pleasant, without even the slightest reluctance, which actually made Martha feel infected and feel that she was working hard - oh no, it is that loving work is a thing that people should feel happy.

But Martha quickly reacted, and what made Josie on the other end of the phone really happy was the great fame and high remuneration brought by her hard work.

Especially the salary.

"It sounds wonderful, but-" Martha said helplessly, "it is difficult for the film company to accept that an actress suddenly plays Juliet, a pure girl who falls in love, and suddenly plays a girl with Tom. Cruise loves a single mom. "

Josie was stunned: "Can't it?" "

"Can't." Martha replied, "This will create a serious sense of fragmentation among the audience, given that both films are scheduled to be released next Christmas." "

Josie let out an uninteresting "oh".

She almost forgot that now is not the era when traffic is king, especially in Hollywood, a movie factory, where character fit can sometimes be more important than fame.

Martha continued: "Actually, if you don't want a vacation, I suggest you think about something else instead of sticking to these two films. It is enough to choose one of them, after all, your energy is limited. "

"Then put Mr. Sweetheart first." Josie did not hesitate, "If you can't get the role, consider "Romeo and Juliet". "

"So, I'll talk to Kevin about the audition tomorrow morning after a regular meeting inside the CAA?" Martha asked.

This is Kevin. Hauvian handles projects, and generally he will let his executive agents follow up instead of handing them over to Martha. Official broker in a company like Miller.

"Over to you." Josie did not object.

Compared with the basic plate belonging to young fans that have been attacked, the preferences of popular fans are more important, and romantic comedy has always been a weapon to brush the audience's popularity, even if "Mr. Sweetheart" is under the banner of inspirational sports movies, it is still a blockbuster and classic romance film.

Who says it isn't, most Hollywood movies are essentially romance movies, and people love this timeless theme.

Moreover, Tom contributed an Oscar-level performance in this movie, and it seems that he was nominated for the Golden Globe actor and the Oscar for Best Actor that year, which is one of the highest-grossing non-action films in his career, and ushered in a double harvest of word of mouth and box office.

As for the single mother character in her early twenties?

Who cares.

Anyway, she didn't want to be treated like a blonde silly girl who only swiped her father's credit card all the time, maybe she should dye her brown hair that looked smarter—no, not yet, at least not yet.

Having made up his mind, the detailed script was sent to Santa Monica the next day.

And with it came an old acquaintance.

Amy. Hecklin found a comfortable position on the sofa in the living room, quite casually touched his cigarette case, and asked, "Mind?" "

"Mind." Josie said.

Amy shrugged, slipped the cigarette case back into her jacket pocket, and said, "I guess you already got the script for Mr. Sweetheart?" Cameron. Crowe complained to me all night, thinking that Colombia's hiring you as a single mom heroine was, because you were completely out of the picture. "

Cameron. Crowe is the director and screenwriter of "Mr. Movie Sweetheart", was a music critic for "Rolling Stone" magazine when he was young, and later moved to Hollywood as a screenwriter for Amy's first feature film "Open American Academy", and only in recent years filmed his own directorial works "Love to the Depths" and "Single Nobleman", which received a very good response.

With Amy. Hecklin, too, Cameron. Crowe can write and direct, and always serves as a director, screenwriter and producer in his own films, so he has a higher say in the film than the usual director, which is one of the reasons why "Mr. Sweetheart" has not started smoothly.

The film's producer, Sony Columbia, wanted a more famous and beautiful heroine, like Cameron. Diaz, but Crowe took a fancy to Renee, who had never starred. Zellweger, she is the casting director Gale. Levin recommended, neither famous nor young and beautiful, the only advantage is that the performance at the audition is not bad.

But the last thing Hollywood lacks is actors who can act.
