CHAPTER 66, DIFFICULTIES IN CHOOSING.

"He was supposed to be young Jim. Stewart, with a bit of bohemian writer Jack. London temperament. "James. Cameron added.

Jim. Stewart is an actor from Italy, six feet two tall, impeccable facial features, because of the rapid popularity of "Golden Rose Hole", but he is twenty-seven years old this year, apparently James . Cameron wanted a younger actor, such as the age set in the script to be only twenty-one.

Currently producer Fox wants to use Matthew. McConaughey, the handsome Hollywood boy has not long entered the industry, previously filmed some short films and small roles, only played a fairly bright supporting role in this year's "Dashing and Lovely", but then he picked a big shot in a big production like the yet-to-be-released "Killing Hour", and the future is smooth.

But James. Cameron didn't like him, thinking he didn't have that bohemian artistic temperament, and that he had the same relationship as Jim. Stuart was the same year, and it was better to use Jim directly. What about Stewart.

The question goes back to the heroine of the movie.

There are already quite a few actresses in Hollywood who have read the synopsis of "Titanic", even Nicole. Kidman also auditioned with makeup, but the age of the heroine in the script was only seventeen, and Fox wanted a box-office-guaranteed star to play the lead role, so James. Cameron's options are limited.

Jon. Landau was helpless when he heard this.

Gloria. Stewart is one of the few actors who first decided, this lady has a lot of film experience, every wrinkle is engraved with the charm of the precipitation of time, it is almost impossible to find a new generation of actresses from Hollywood who can match it.

But now James. Cameron even Hollywood's top vase Nicole. Kidman couldn't even look at it, disgusted that this Australian girl who was not yet thirty years old was a little too old, you must know that her ancient costume at the audition was already absolutely beautiful.

It really makes people wonder if the movie they are making will be stillborn because they can't find the actor - Jon. Landau couldn't imagine Fox learning of the bad news.

So he reminded: "Jim, you have promised Jim, the production director of Fox. Galopoulos, who will start auditioning for actors next month, will have to choose at least one actress - and now it's the end of the month. "

"Did I make a promise?" James. Cameron frowned thoughtlessly, his expression as if there really was no such thing.

"You have." Jon. Landau affirmed.

"Can I forget it?" James. Cameron asked again.

"Of course." Jon. Landau spread his hands and said, "If you don't want Fox's Mexican studio." "

"Okay, I have." James. Cameron compromised and immediately said to Mary. Finn said, "Find me some fresh faces, first look at the actresses." Oh, they even Madonna wants to stuff my crew, what a hell! "

"It's easy to get new faces, I can find you two thousand in ten minutes." Marie. "The problem is, you have to give me a more specific request, because we can't get Audrey. Hepburn resurrected. "

Jon. Landau joked: "Don't find anyone for him, I'm afraid Jim will watch the whole Hollywood actress." "

"I'm sure you're being sarcastic about me, Jon." James. Cameron said.

"Yes, I am." Jon. Landau in Marie. Finn apologized insincerely in his chuckles, "I'm sorry, Jim, but can you pay a little attention, we really can't bring all the Hollywood actresses to audition." "

James. Cameron frowned first, thought about it before saying: "Don't bother me over twenty-five or thirteen or fourteen years old, not beautiful enough or colored, in fact, I myself don't have a specific imagination of the heroine, but she needs to have at least some golden age elegance and be enough to amaze everyone." "

Marie. Finn said: "This year there have been a lot of great young actresses, like Claire. Dennis is good, Judy. Foster recommended her to us, Baz. Luman's Romeo and Juliet is looking for her to replace Natalie. Portman's. "

"Oh, I have a little impression." James. Cameron pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Send her an audition invitation." But Leonardo who played a couple with her. DiCaprio was in the top three on my actor list, and if I, as an audience, I didn't really expect Juliet to wear a classical corset – Marie, is there a more refreshing candidate? "

Marie. Finn thought for a minute this time, and then asked with some uncertainty: "Do you think Josie. How's Horton, Jim? She is only eighteen years old and very beautiful in the camera. "

"If you're talking about her, my daughter has been keen to make a diet plan for me since the summer, just like Josie. Horton plays the same heroine in the movie. "Jon. Landau shrugged, his expression helpless and proud, and imitated his little daughter's tone, "Oh daddy, your blood sugar is too high; Oh Daddy, you need to eat some vegetables. Ha ha! "

"Isn't that a sweet treat?" Marie. Fein teased, "It's so happy to have a well-behaved and cute daughter." "

"That's right." Jon. Landau said with a smile.

James. It's certainly impossible for Cameron not to notice this year's super newcomer, and he also respects Marie. Fein's suggestion, with some hesitation, said: "I know her, that 'golden girl'. But the problem is that she is a popular youth idol, and people think of "Dominant" when they see her face, so I have always thought that her screen temperament is not suitable for our films. But you can say what you think, Mary. "

"Then you should watch her audition tape for Paramount for First Class Fear, which will completely change your impression of her." Marie. Fein turned over the video tape he had prepared in a pile of documents and audio-visual materials, trying not to be so deliberate, "Her performance will be surprising, and don't you think that a completely different youth idol appears in our movie, this feeling is also quite fresh?" "

James. Cameron and Jon. Landau exchanged a look.

As veteran filmmakers who have been in Hollywood for many years, they can certainly see that Mary. Finn is working for Claire. Dennis as well as Josie. Horton says nice things and pulls favors, but that doesn't mean it's going to be offensive, because everyone does, unless she or he doesn't need to play James at all. Cameron's film.

Actively striving for the role you want within the rules is originally a normal range of work effort.

And the only thing they care about is whether this actor is suitable for this role and whether he can play this role well.

James. Cameron nodded, "Just take a look." I heard that she has a movie face that fits the camera very well, and I hope it will surprise us. "

To be honest, Hobritt this one and Josie. The director Horton worked with praised her, and he was really curious about why Lang. Howard also praised the usual youth idol star?

Marie. Finn's heart was slightly relieved, and he thought that he was carefully doing Josie. Horton's planned opening was not bad, and as for the real audition, she could only help with it.

But who knows how time has passed a month ago, James. Cameron auditioned for some actresses one after another, but Josie. Horton's auditions were repeatedly postponed.

What the hell is going on?

With the arrival of 1996, Hollywood's annual awards season is entering its busiest time.]

Josie attended a number of targeted parties, and she and her team focused on PR for those members of the Foreign Press Association of Hollywood, including but not limited to sending videotapes and movie peripheral gifts.

Thankfully, the Foreign Correspondents' Association has fewer members and more transparent information than Hollywood's large number of Academy members, so it's no surprise that a vote-bribery scandal emerged years later.

But relatively speaking, at least before Weinstein won the Oscars, whether it was the Golden Globe or the Academy Awards, the awards were not as criticized as later.

After tonight's premiere, Josie attended a party hosted by distributor Bowey Pictures, Brad. Ranflo also appeared on the scene.

Brad's resume and star path are somewhat similar to Josie's.

He was first directed by Joe Ander. Schumacher excavated and filmed his debut film "The Ultimate Witness", and then won praise from film critics with "The World of True Love", and in the new movie "The Adventures of New Tom", which has just been released, his comedy performance has been recognized by both the audience and the industry, and he is already a rising star.

But compared to Josie, who soared into the sky in the first movie, Brad's star luck is so worse, after all, Josie bought herself a life-sustaining plug-in, and the movie popularity of "Alone Leading" continued from the play to the outside of the play, and the blog website operated by her name has become a fashion bible for young girls today.

However, the concept of online media has not really become popular, because the popularity of personal computers and the slow speed of telephone dialing are limiting its development, but Josie's website has taken the lead in attracting young people who are on the cutting edge, and these are the best quality user groups.

It is worth mentioning that Josie's coffee position belongs to the unstable B coffee star, because she made a phenomenal movie, and because she only made a phenomenal movie.

The calculation of Hollywood coffee position is not complicated, that is, the film history status of the film starring an actor and whether the actor himself is successful in shaping the role, considering some box office factors, and finally the actor's salary.

Being able to get a percentage share of the salary is the signature treatment of superstars.

In addition, the box office and awards are not as important as the public thinks, and most films basically do not rely on the box office to return the money, because the follow-up income after the release of the film is the real profit.

Therefore, for actors, the starring movies can affect current or future pop culture, and then leave a name in film history to qualify as a shining star on the Walk of Fame.

Shaping pop culture, which is one of the reasons Keanu has been popular for many years.

Back to business.

The evening party was so lively that Josie seemed to travel back in time, in Kevin. Under the leadership of Hauven, he met one so-called industry insider after another, mostly some elderly white men, after all, the characteristics of this foreign correspondents' association determine that these people are as old as senior.

And the group of old white men in the Oscars is a lot more than this.

In the lobby of the hotel, Kevin's tone was mocking, "Why don't they go home and take a good look in the mirror, preferably the kind that even takes off their pants, what gives them the confidence to have dinner with the most popular youth idol stars?" Ha! "

He said that he used the afterglow from the corner of his eye to observe Josie's reaction, but he didn't expect to meet Josie's line of sight, and immediately pulled his tie knot hard.

Josie retracted her gaze and said slowly, "Oh Kevin, you seem to have some gaffes tonight?" I hope that no matter what happens, we should all maintain basic courtesy, at least as it should be during awards season. "

"Sorry, Josie, but I didn't expect tonight to be so bad." Kevin shrugged and explained seemingly helplessly, "You know, I've been trying my best to keep you from being harassed. "

"I know. You and Martha and Archie are very important business partners for me. So take it easy, it's just a nomination. Josie gave Kevin a faint smile that meant something.

"But it's important to us, isn't it?" Kevin said as he draped a coat over Josie's shoulders and opened the hotel door for her.

"Thank you, so sweet, Kevin." Josie put her hand in Kevin's arm and continued as she walked out, "yes, and that's exactly why we're here, we just need to do our best, and it's not important to that point." "

In front of the hotel, El had parked his car there.

Kevin opened the door for Josie and covered her head with the palm of his hand, waiting for her to get into the back seat of the car before saying, "Josie, sometimes I really don't understand what you want, really." "

"What do I want?" Josie laughed, and the carefully outlined red lips curved subtly, "I just wanted to be famous, but they forced me to want power." That's all. "

"That's all?" Kevin smiled wryly and closed the car door, "Goodbye, Josie, I wish you a good dream." "

"Good night, Kevin." Josie rolled down the window and waved, turned her head and picked up Martha's call: "Good evening, Martha, James. Don't worry about Cameron's side, we can't be the first, then prepare for the finale appearance..."

At this moment, Josie did not know that after the Super Bowl on the last Sunday of January, James . Cameron will suddenly lose interest in her because of a Pepsi halftime commercial, and will still be energetic to watch the Hollywood awards season PR campaign work.

With only a slight slack, her boarding plan almost went awry.

But that's all about later, because it's only early January, and the pre-Super Bowl Golden Globe Awards haven't even started.

The black Volvo drove into the night.

Kevin turned around but showed an uplifting smile, straightened the collar of his blazer, and muttered, "Want to be at the top of power in Hollywood at eighteen?" I've never seen a girl like this, and I've never had anyone like this in Hollywood – I can't even help but start to look forward and excited? It's wonderful, but should I really join this crazy gamble..."

He shook his head and got into the car that his assistant had driven.

Santa Monica is quiet and peaceful at night.

Josie wrapped up her coat, curled up on the cushion of the back seat of the car, and held the phone she was talking on to her ear with her right hand.

"You know, I'm thinking about you too—how are you doing today?" Her posture was relaxed, and her tone was the same, "I'm going to stay in Los Angeles for a few days, well, to meet some people." "

El, who was driving, glanced at Josie from the rearview mirror, and saw a soft smile on her carefully depicted red lips, and her big blue eyes narrowed lazily, lazy as a cat.

"So you tonight..."

El quickly retracted his gaze, but in the next second he subconsciously opened his eyes, slammed the steering wheel, and then stepped on the brakes under his feet-
