Chapter 26 The Second Peach Blossom?

 The contract for "Chicago" was signed, and the supporting role, which ended up playing less than three minutes, earned Jenny $30,000.

 Of course, $30,000 is nothing compared to the remuneration of the two leading actresses, and Jenny's remuneration may not even be as good as the female prisoners who have shorter appearances and have to share the scene, not to mention the warden's 'mother'. But $30,000 is also the average annual income in the United States in 2001. After deducting taxes and commissions, Jenny will have more than 20,000 yuan left, which will be enough for her to live for several months even if she quits her job as a dog walker.

 However, the payment period stipulated in the contract is relatively long, and it is not like CBS that can pay the salary after completion, and it will not be paid until the film is completed, which means that she is still a poor ghost, except for a small deposit, the money is in the vision.

 The next audition was still in the picture, but Jenny was already busy again, Lillian, Dave, Lynch, George Eders, Emma Swan, all called to congratulate her on the role, and of course she had some dinner invitations, and if she didn't have to walk the dog every night, Jenny's social life would have been more colorful, and she had received a staggering number of party invitations.

 This is a change in social life, as for the work side, Cesare arranged for her accent class, pay close attention to her British accent, and even some cultural courses, all of which are to teach her some customs of the Civil War period in ancient times - that is, the Victorian era in England, the American side of the Civil War, and the speech and behavior of women at that time.

 She speculated that the tuition for these courses was more than she was paid for "Chicago", and Cesare should have some training budget in her hands, and the fact that she received so much training meant that Cesare's other artists had fewer opportunities to study.

 However, so far she has not met Cesare's other clients, according to Jim, they are basically at least B-list and C-list artists, and of course they all have their own careers to do, and Jenny rarely goes to parties, not even the chance to meet, and Cesare does not seem to have the intention of introducing them to acquaintances.

 Under the same agent, it does not mean that their personal relationship needs to be very close, it is one thing to support each other in public and cooperate with the hype, in private, there are a lot of resources, there are so many agents in their hands, and competition between each other is inevitable, just like Jenny, today is because Cesare only brought her a new person, if there is one more, she has used so many training opportunities alone, can the other party have no opinion?

 In addition to these courses, she also has to participate in the upcoming pre-training for "Chicago", which is a musical drama, and the two leading actresses have no relevant experience, including Richard Gere, who also has to receive dance training, and Jenny and other supporting actors, regardless of the number of scenes, also have corresponding courses, but the class time is much less than that of the female leads. By the time Jeanne went to audition, Renee Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones had been training for two months each.

 Naturally, she began her busy, poor and hungry life again. The only consolation is that there are many singing and dancing parts in the training course, which can be regarded as a lot of exercise, plus running when walking the dog every day, it can be regarded as maintaining exercise, so Jenny can eat calories appropriately and does not have to rely on extreme dieting to maintain her figure.

 "Okay, now a few words in a Scottish accent. The accent class teacher pinched his fingers, "Pay attention to the main points, big tongue, tremolo. Say whatever comes to mind, come, give me a few words. "

 Jenny longed for what kind of Chinese accent class or Asian accent class she was taking now, and she almost rolled her eyes, "I'm starving to death now, give me a piece of meat, or I can eat people!"

 "You're a completely robber-style word, but you don't have a robber-like rough pronunciation, and you can't learn the swallow sound well. The teacher began to be critical, "Now I will say this sentence again, you listen to the difference between yours and yours." "

 During the hour-long accent lesson, Jenny felt like a poor little girl being tormented by a vicious robber, and she had almost forgotten what to say in her usual accent. "Are you really starving to death?" After class, several classmates came over to laugh and tease Jenny, and her performance in the accent class was extremely poor, "You have repeated this sentence at least dozens of times in class, sister, I have been told that I am hungry." "

 "I'm really starving. Jenny said weakly. "Now, okay, don't say any more about it, and if I keep saying that, my stomach will start to digest itself. "

 She didn't take one-to-one lessons, but she didn't have a lot of classmates. Tuition is expensive, not professional, and few people take this kind of class out of interest, and more than half of Jenny's seven or eight classmates are lesser-known actors, most of whom have supporting roles in a certain series, and they are self-trained for career planning. But the remaining three or four careers have nothing to do with showbiz, purely out of interest, and there is one person with the most bizarre reason: this person was inspired to be delusional after 911, thinking that people all over the world hate Americans, but he likes to travel abroad, so he wants to learn a foreign accent so that he can pretend to be a foreigner when he goes abroad...

 Although by and large, the United States is a rather dull and boring Puritan country, with more than 90 percent of the small cities, and the lives of its residents may be much more boring than the Chinese have stereotyped about them. But this is Los Angeles, California, and Hollywood, the richest metropolis in the country, and there is a truth that prevails all over the world: human individuality is always maximally liberated in the metropolis. So even if his reasons are so absurd and naïve, the well-informed Hollywood drifters naturally accept it.

 This is the person who came to talk to Jenny just now and made fun of her, most of the other classmates left in a hurry after class, and he was still unhurriedly packing up the guy, "Since you are hungry, I am hungry too, why don't we go out and eat something together?"

 "Forget it, Will," Jenny rolled her eyes, "may you please stop trying? I'm not going out to dinner, coffee, or wine with you." "

 This is not the first suitor she has met, and there are many customers who want her phone number when serving in the restaurant before, but most people are actually very self-respecting in front of beautiful women, and they will not try again if they block it a few times in the open. For example, the teacher of the accent class also wanted to ask her out at first, but after touching the nail a few times, she also retreated.

 But Will is an exception, this person really understands the essence of the phrase 'fierce women are afraid of pestering Lang', all kinds of stalking, and he has never died since the first day he saw Jenny.

 "Come on, at least come to a party with me. Will chased Jenny out of the classroom, "Aren't you an actor? Can I introduce you to the Backstreet Boys, do you know Nick Carter?

 Jenny couldn't help but roll her eyes again, "Yes, I know you have a famous older sister, Will-"

 Will corrected, "Cousin." "

 "OK, cousin. Jenny pressed the elevator, "Isn't that great? Paris is a fashion trend indicator for all New York girls, can she have fewer beautiful women around her?" Go ahead, let her introduce you to one, it will be more efficient than pestering me." "

 Yes, Will's surname is Hilton, and he is also one of the heirs to Hilton's hotel empire, and it is impossible for Jenny to ask about the specific inheritance share, she only knows that Will's family is rich enough to support him on a two-year global trip as a gap year before he graduates from college and enters society, and the network is strong enough to send this boy who doesn't seem very good to enter Yale anyway, in short, Will is really a good outlet for her current status. If she didn't choose to develop in Hollywood, then it would indeed be a very good choice to trap a rich kid like Will and marry into a wealthy family.

 But then again, she had made this choice in her previous life, and her ex-husband was even better off than Will Hilton, at least he was the only heir to the great family, powerful and rich, and much more mature than Will. - The outcome of that marriage, she knew very well.

 Of course, Jenny can't be confused by Will now, but what makes her laugh and cry is that Will seems to be more fascinated by her because of her coldness.

 "But they're not you. He winked desperately at Jenny, "Please, please, just one date, I won't come to pester you again." "

 I can't help but admit that he was born quite good-looking. The natural hair color of the descendants of the Hilton family is actually brown hair, and Will did not learn how to dye his cousin's blonde hair, which is the traditional handsome guy on the East Coast of the United States with brown hair and blue eyes. If it weren't for the fact that he revealed his family background in order to attract himself, it would be difficult for Jenny to connect him with Paris Hilton.

 "Not to mention that I doubt the truth of your last sentence," Jenny exhaled, "even if I wanted to promise you, I wouldn't have time, Will, my scene will start filming in a few days, and classes will have to be suspended." Well, if you're willing to wait—and promise not to contact me while you wait—then I'll go on a date with you before you travel abroad, okay?"

 She finally decided to compromise, not because she was impressed by Will's sincerity, but because this person somehow got her phone number, and Chen Zhen still had a bit of an oriental mind, not that she was in a hurry, and she didn't want to tear up her face with Will, and—in fact, he wasn't very annoying after all, but it wasn't in her plans.

 "What is this?Pity date?" Will said, with a shocked expression.

 "Ah, if you think it's an insult to you, you can refuse it. Jenny immediately said eagerly.

 "I'm a person with no self-esteem. Will immediately changed his face and said with a grin. "I would be happier if I could upgrade my Pity date. (i.e. Pity Sex)

 Jenny rolled her eyes, "You think beautifully." "

 Will was not angry, and talked to her about his studies and the first leg of his international trip. "Amsterdam, it has to be Amsterdam, you know why. "

 The Netherlands had just announced in January 2001 that marijuana could be sold publicly, and for a young man like Will, the Netherlands, with its red-light district and cafes (referring to the kind with soft poison menus), was a holy place in his heart, Jenny shook her head speechlessly, "Are you sure your parents will pay you after they know the purpose of your visit to Amsterdam?"

 "How would they know?" said Will with a smile. They went down to the parking garage together, "Aren't you going to let me drive you home today?"

 "I drove the car. Jenny pointed to her Passat.

 "Are you sure you don't want to try my darling?" Will hinted in a joking tone.

 Whether it was intentional or not, Will's car was parked next to the Passat, a glittering Ferrari that Jenny couldn't name, but at a glance knew it was worth a lot of money, and it was by no means an entry-level sports car.

 Jenny gave Will a middle finger at him, who was lovingly stroking the car. "I see you're having a lot of fun touching yourself, why don't you continue, I'll go first. "

 Will raised his hand like an electric shock and made a laughing and crying expression at Jenny, who ignored him, got into the car and reversed first.

 But soon after she got out of the garage, with a screeching roar of the engine, Will had overtaken her, and he laughed and pouted at Jenny, a little coquettish, and made a very sincere kiss gesture, and then sped up and disappeared into the traffic.

 Jenny watched Ferrari go away, thought about it, and couldn't help but smile and shake her head.

 This is Hollywood, money is at your fingertips, temptation is everywhere, as long as you are beautiful, you can meet invitations that make your heart flutter anytime and anywhere, such as Will, for the original Jenny, his lethality should tend to be endless.

 But what about Chen Zhen's version of Jenny?

 All she could think about now was tomorrow's shoot - she wasn't worried about her role, and after a few previews, she thought she wouldn't be worse than Lucy Liu.

 What worried her was of course Renee Zellweger's attitude.

 Note: Gap year refers to a custom in which teenagers go to other places to experience life during the period of time between high school and college, and college graduation and social work. For example, after graduating from high school, A communicates with the university to postpone enrollment for a year, goes backpacking to Asia, or goes to India to teach, and goes to Australia to work for accommodation. Generally speaking, the family does not contribute much money for a gap year. Except for wealthy families like Will, whose 2-year gap year is just an excuse to eat, drink, and be merry.

 The place where marijuana is supplied in the Netherlands is called Coffee Shop, and if you want to drink coffee, you have to go to a café, and the menu served in the coffee shop is a soft poison package.
