Josie raised a pair of blue eyes that appeared faint due to the change in light, reached out and touched Keanu's face, and asked him: "How do you think I acted, Keanu?" "
"Almost perfect." Keanu answered honestly.
"Almost perfect? Oh, interesting—" Josie lengthened her tone, her bright eyes looking at Keanu alone, but the words she said were audible to everyone in the room: "In that case, why are you coming to see the others?" "
"You care about this?" Keanu said, "Sorry, you must have misunderstood one thing, she auditioned for the female number two. "
Josie asked reasonably: "Aren't you going to change the heroine?" "
"It's not." He replied.
"I don't believe it." The resentment in her eyes was half-true, "Look at this girl's eyes just like you did when you first looked at me." "
Hearing this, Keanu was a little helpless, and asked in his deep voice: "Okay, tell me, what do you want to do?" "
Josie smiled at him and stunned Taylor again. Heckford and Arnold. Milkan said: "I guess people don't mind giving us some personal space. "
Although this was supposed to be an interrogative sentence, her tone was narrated.
Taylor. Heckford and Arnold. Milkan exchanged glances, and the latter shrugged indifferently, so the two brought a worried Charlize with a worried look. Theron, temporarily left the room.
Only Keanu and Josie were left in the quiet room.
Keanu walked up to Josie, pulled her to sit on the couch, and asked, "Tell me, what are you playing, little girl." "
"Don't call me little girl." Josie wrinkled her nose, "I'm a little jealous, she's so young and beautiful, I can't help but be moved..."
"Listen - Holy! What's going on in your little head? Keanu was angry and funny, "She has a lot of qualifications to do this, but lacks some opportunities." And she liked the script so much that she just wanted to play one of the roles. "
"I also like the script." Josie still didn't look very happy, "The problem is that I suddenly feel a little bit of a crisis, and I don't like it when you find someone else to take my place - my last thing I like is being protected by you in this way." "
She lowered her eyes and looked a little depressed.
Keanu kept looking at her intently, as if to see something from the side of her face, and didn't answer her immediately.
"Come on, let me talk about the first question first." He said slowly, "There are so many young and beautiful girls in Hollywood, but you are really one of them very special. I'm happy to bring new people because I don't want to be like you or Charlize. Actresses like Theron had those bad things early in their careers, just like you expected from me that day. "
At this time, Josie raised her face and turned to look directly into his gaze, looking still puzzled.
Will there really be such a "selfless" person as him?
Tomorrow will be born as a vested interest group for the whole thing, but he is willing to do the opposite and protect these people - shouldn't the so-called men be born the most realistic and cold-blooded animals?
Josie's mind was a mess.
She remembered her former father for a while, a wealthy son with a good temperament; A moment later I remembered Frank. Horton, while saying love to Edna, circled between one woman after another.
The presence of these men in her limited life has long defeated her boring illusions about men and even human nature, and it has also made her extra determined and hard, because she knows that she should not pin her hopes of changing her fate on others.
At this time, Keanu quietly took one of her hands and continued: "Second question, tell me, Josie, what do you think is inappropriate?" "
"I want to be with you more than protected." Josie came back from the memory, bit her lip lightly, and hesitated before saying, "To be honest, I hate Geffen, he always treats people as toys that he can play with." I can't even understand why you can be friends, so to speak. "
"I admit that some of his actions are indeed inappropriate." Keanu organized the language a bit, trying to tactfully tell her: "But he is generous and helpful, and many stars have been helped by him to a greater or lesser extent in their careers, such as Tom. Cruises, like Brad. Pete, like me. And you have to know that under his influence, Hollywood is now much more orderly and enlightened than before. "
I have to say, David. Geffen has played a positive role in balancing all Hollywood forces and the LGBT movement.
However, these are not directly related to Josie.
If according to her original personality, she would at least consider the Hollywood boss turning his face after the release of "Titanic", but the truth is that when she thinks of the other party's almost unbridled desire for manipulation, there is another strong voice in her head, shouting not to continue to endure all this.
"Okay, don't say it. Anyway, after much deliberation, I decided to spend this period with you, what do you think, dear Mr. K? "
Her tone suddenly became lively again, and at the same time reached out and tugged at his sleeves.
Keanu didn't answer immediately.
He first looked at Josie's seemingly relaxed face, and always felt that the smile on her face was different from usual, but he couldn't describe it specifically.
Girls always have the right to be willful.
But he thought she might not know how difficult this period would be, or maybe she hadn't thought about what it meant to really walk alongside him.
After a while, he still didn't reply, which made Josie frown a little impatiently and urged: "Didn't you say that you want me to change the world with you?" God, you wouldn't be planning to be the savior by yourself, would you? At least give me a little highlight! "
Her tone was humorous with a hint of seriousness, without any reluctance or heaviness.
Keanu couldn't help but tug the corners of his mouth and laughed slowly.
He laughed for a long moment, looked at Josie intently like that, and suddenly leaned over and kissed her smooth forehead, quickly as if a snowflake had fallen on her forehead.
Then, he casually touched the top of Josie's hair and coaxed her like a child: "Since you decided, then I respect." "
To be fair, at her age, he was also very assertive, always clinging to what he identified.
This is actually a very precious trait.
Because as you grow up and experience the baptism of society, this almost naïve stubbornness and courage is usually defeated by repeated injuries.
"Talk well, don't move your hands and feet!" Josie didn't like this coaxing attitude, slapped Keanu's hand away, and couldn't help but give him a blank look, "Your tone is not right, trouble to repeat the line just now, Mr. Reeves." "
At this time, Keanu had to adjust his tone and said solemnly: "Well, I'm sorry, I mean I should respect my companion." You may be going to have bad things like changing corners or getting fired, but I'm going to do my best to reduce that possibility. You know, Josie, I'm not offending someone, but the whole circle who profits from it, so you have to be careful. "
Josie thought thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "So, Keanu, did you really get hurt playing hockey before?" "
Keanu was noncommittal, but said, "It's not important. The important thing is that we do a good job of the Devil's Advocate, and I have a hunch that it will be difficult to find coverage of it in the mainstream media, which is one of the punishments that those people consider me. "
"If the mainstream media doesn't report it—" Josie thought for a moment, "what do you think of gossip magazines and online communication?" For example, the bloody love triangle between the starring actors, she loves him, she loves her, and he loves no one. "
Keanu raised his dark eyes, a helpless smile appeared under his eyes, but shook his head: "This doesn't have a good impact on your image." "
"I don't care about image. I even shot a Pepsi commercial. Josie spread her hands indifferently, "I only care about the heat, I'm an unscrupulous villain." "
People who have experienced the era of online traffic and decided to regard Hollywood stars as a lifelong career, she has long been mentally prepared not to care about other people's eyes.
"But I care." Keanu said seriously, "No matter what, I still want to protect you as best I can." "
Josie wondered: "I'm not that fragile - and hype scandal is the fastest way to spread the heat." You should know that the mainstream media is no longer reliable, and only a large number of unregulated gossip magazines will care about our news. "
David. Geffen's ban on Keanu and the project came thoroughly, after all, his friends are all over the circle, and even the editor-in-chief of mouthpieces such as the New York Times is his person.
Of course, they can take advantage of Warner's PR channels.
But in the matter of supporting Keanu, Warner's side has also withstood a lot of pressure, and Keanu personally does not want to make Warner more trouble before the film's promotion period.
He had already denied this suggestion in his heart, but said lightly: "If you really need to stir up the heat like this, it should be up to me to pursue you, and you rejected me." "
Facing his quiet and indifferent eyes, Josie was unable to speak for a while, and after a few seconds, she flattened her mouth and whispered: "According to my experience, your version is not bloody enough, no one will like to watch it... How about we each make a call and talk to PR, and then go and call Miss Theron in and talk about the cooperation hype? If she is willing to play the female number two. "
Keanu shook his head, "No, Josie, I don't do it, and neither do you." Let's just let it be, let's finish the film itself, and then I'll talk to Warner about how to deal with the publicity. "
He paused slightly and looked at Josie with a slight frown.
"What I care about is, are you a little emotional lately?" Keanu asked, "And I heard that you are still picking out the script, which means that at least three movies will be made this year, is that also a bit rushed?" "
"Will it?" Josie was stunned, "I just feel that my career has finally improved, and I must try to grasp the timing as much as possible, and I don't want to let myself regret it in the future." "
"But playing different types of roles too often is a big drain for an actor like you." Keanu couldn't help but ask, "Don't you really feel hard?" "
"No, how could it be. I feel very happy. Josie gave him a soothing smile.
No third person knows what the two Hollywood stars ended up talking about.
And then there was, someone noticed Josie. When Horton was there, the expression on his face wasn't good, and Keanu. Reeves turned to the one called "Charlize. Theron" went in and talked.
Big news!
The building staff who came to watch the two big stars that day all felt that they had found the inside information, despite Arnold. Milkan immediately gave a gag order, but someone turned around and sold the news to gossip magazines.
The crew of "Devil's Advocate" has not yet determined the filming time, and the tentative male and female protagonists seem to have irreconcilable conflicts?
—and, Keanu. Reeves and Josie. Is Horton a feud or a change?
Lucy, the editor-in-chief of the gossip magazine who had already revealed the news in advance. Spiler sat in his office and regretfully rummaged through the desk by private investigator Don. A series of photographs taken by Kangji.
Ten minutes ago, Josie called in person, saying that after discussing with Keanu, she had abandoned the hype plan mentioned earlier.
This disappointed Lucy, who had planned to do a big job.
The office phone rang.
Lucy shook her head, put the matter aside for a moment, picked up the phone and said, "What's the matter, Vera—what?" You wait, I need to make a call. "
She put down the receiver, picked up her mobile phone and dialed Josie's private number, and said, "Josie, why did Entertainment Newsweek get this photo that is similar to mine?" My informant told me that they were ready to put you and Keanu on the front page, which is not the same as what we had agreed before... The other person also has a picture of you hitting Keanu with your hands. "
At this time, Josie was sitting in the back seat of Martha's silver Jaguar, flipping through a script outline that Martha had placed casually, and frowned when she heard this.
"No, it can't be, Lucy, I swear I never did anything to him." Josie couldn't think of a reason for the photo's existence, the only thing could be a borrowing or PS, "You know, we've always had a good time working together, and my team is only like you to cooperate with PR - wait, what else?" "
Lucy replied, "They seem to have taken pictures of you two kissing affectionately, which I don't have." The person should be shooting in the building opposite the production office, and the camera seat was set up in advance. Either you bought people yourself, or someone knew what you were going to do today and made arrangements in advance. "
Josie temporarily ended the call.
"It seems that someone looked for the paparazzi and me, but we didn't find it." She looked particularly confused, her hands kept moving, and she was passing text messages, "Well, don't go to CAA, let's go directly to Eve-Martha, who do you think is likely to want Keanu and me to disclose our non-existent relationship?" Geffen? No, he wasn't so bored. "
El was sent by Josie to go shopping, so she was not present for the time being, so she spoke more casually.
Martha turned the car around, thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. I need more information to judge this. "
"Then let's wait until we meet." Josie put down the script in her hand and asked casually: "This script is quite interesting, can I act it?" "
She didn't take the scandals or scandals that were about to be exposed to heart, they were always prepared to deal with it, the problem is that the beating is a little serious, but it is precisely this matter that is completely empty.
Photographs can of course be processed.
In fact, those golden age videographers have long figured out a way to process negatives on glass.
"You still want to take the show?" Martha asked in rare surprise.
"I counted it. From May to the end of July, I will have about eight weeks, and I can take on a supporting role that does not eat heavy roles. Josie said, "On the side of "Devil's Advocate", I also discussed with Keanu, and it was just right to enter the group after filming "Titanic". "
Martha couldn't stand it, and said helplessly: "Oh, stop, God, don't talk about it, Josie." You make me feel incompetent as a broker because I have more vacations than my clients. "
In addition, she was actually curious about how Josie and Keanu communicated.
The movement between the two of them in the audition office before was really a bit of a face-turning.
Josie smiled and only asked, "What do you think?" "
She has already thought about the whole year next year, because the budget of "Titanic" continues to rise, the delay in its release, and the bad reviews in the early days of its release, she should have almost no drama to act at that time, so she just gave herself a vacation.
At present, taking advantage of the blessings of the Oscars and "Titanic", if you have any favorite characters and scripts, hurry up.
After all, these years are the golden age of Hollywood movies, and missing a role can leave a huge regret in your career.
In contrast, being so busy all year that there is no vacation time or anything is really not worth mentioning.
Martha had to tell Josie, "This is what I found for Kim. A role for Basin, but she was tired of playing an image like □□, and didn't really want to take it, but there was no other chance of a comeback, so she was hesitant. And you... Have you even thought about the transformation after "Titanic"? "
"It's not completely considered, but I don't really want to continue to play the rich girl and silly Baitian." Josie replied, "The main thing is that I like this script too much, and the character also has potential that can be tapped. "
Martha had never easily objected to Josie's decisions, so she quickly said, "Yes." But you better think clearly, if you do get the role, Kim doesn't want to give up, her husband Alec. Baldwin will be hard to pester - he's a complete jerk. "
Josie didn't care, muttering, "Bastard? I know a lot of bastards, grab the role and grab the role, look ahead and what Hollywood to mess with. By the way, if you are fired, I will shoot four plays a year to feed you! "
She didn't think it required any sense of morality, but it shouldn't be good for Martha, after all, helping one client steal the role of another client is dishonorable no matter how you explain it.
But as a vested interest, Josie doesn't plan to give up.
Yes, she has always been greedy - but what is wrong with greed? It's wrong to spend your life in vain!
As if seeing through Josie's thoughts, Martha said lightly: "Don't show that expression, this character doesn't really belong to anyone." Handed over this script is the casting director Marie we are all familiar with. Fein, many of her agents have sent character background boards, and there are several actresses who are considered for starring on the CAA client list, and if you really like it, I will get you an audition. "
"But I still need to remind you that this role is not flattering, and the gold content and scene are far inferior to the other characters in your hands. It's risky. "
First of all, from the outline of the script, this is a man's play, the character that Josie fancy belongs to the vase nature of a very strong embellishment, acting well is a little red in the green bush, and not acting well is a real vase.
Secondly, the crew's original role audition time was this week, and the entry date was also very close, so the time left for Josie to prepare and end "Mr. Sweetheart" was too urgent.
However, this is obviously a problem that will only be considered after the audition is successful, and the biggest trouble in front of them is the unwarranted romance that is about to be revealed——
"Popular Star Keanu. Reeves and Josie. Horton's romance exposed?! "
"Keanu. Reeves falls in love with a South African newcomer and is miserably defeated by his real girlfriend Josie. Horton slap! "
"Passionate kisses, face-flipping and slapping! Josie & Keanu, the end of the romance exposed? "
"According to insiders, Josie & Keanu are already engaged! "
Josie. Horton and Keanu. Reeves?
Oh my God, this "marriage" is enough to feed most of Hollywood's paparazzi!
The entire Hollywood gossip magazine rushed to report the news of this new couple, not to mention the popular landmark Marmont Manor Hotel, Santa Monica's house has been outside the house 24 hours a day, to the annoyance of Josie, who has to go to Sony Studios every day to work.
Fortunately, just a few days before the location of "Mr. Sweetheart" was filmed, Josie disappeared from Hollywood for a while.
When she returned, public opinion was also fermented.
Josie's PR Eve joined Keanu's PR team to first release a statement with similar content, saying that the photos on the gossip headlines were true.
But at the time they were auditioning for Warner Bros.'s "Devil's Advocate", and the two had no physical conflicts, no disagreements or dating, just simple friendships.
Later, Josie and Keanu, who are filming their new movies, responded in interviews with the visiting class, whether people who reveled because of the scandal believed it or not, anyway, they themselves made their own conclusions and defined the so-called romance as friendship.
And within a few days, Keanu's famous motorcycle was photographed by paparazzi on the back seat, and another mature and beautiful confidante sat down, apparently this one already had another date.
