Chapter 61: Jenny's 'Broken Love
"Really?" said Josh with a little unnecessarily enthusiastic tone, "I thought Jenny and Jennifer were the same thing. "
In fact, in the wind and waves, it is not so easy to chat, the voice should be amplified, not to speak, when the waves come, the salty and bitter sea water chokes into the mouth, and the taste is not pleasant. But both Jenny and Josh worked hard to keep the conversation going, and Jenny knew she was panicking, and now that the sea was so dark that it was hard for her to feel that she was in the company of someone if she hadn't been talking. This feeling of only one person in the stormy world is very easy to force people who are not so psychologically endurable to have a panic attack.
Josh probably felt the same way, so he was very interested in the whole agent's unauthorized name change.
"This is normal. He shouted in Jenny's ear, "Good agents are very busy, they don't have that much time for relationship maintenance." "
In fact, when it came to the contract with Josh, Jenny also asked Cesare afterwards why she didn't tell her first. Cesare's reply was 'busy', too busy to forget, or too busy to care. Anyway, in Jenny's understanding, "No, it's not that we don't have time, it's that it's not worth their time to maintain the relationship." "
"Okay. Josh called back, "You're right, when I become Johnny Depp, Anna will definitely treat me much better." "
Anna is his agent.
Despite the tension of the situation now, Jenny couldn't help but laugh, empathy or not, anyway, now she finds Josh quite funny.
"I think you're more handsome than him!" she yelled at Josh.
"Thank you!" shouted Josh back. "You're beautiful too!"
Coincidentally, as he shouted the last sentence, the rain slowly stopped, and the wind and waves subsided dramatically—not that there were no waves now, but compared to the previous strong wind and rain, the current waves could only be regarded as the level of unsettled aftermath. The previous sound of the crashing waves, the wind, and the rain disappeared in a second. This also made Josh's words spread far away on the empty sea.
A dark cloud moved away, and the moon showed half of its face, and in the bright moonlight, Jenny and Josh looked at each other, although only a vague outline could be seen, but this did not prevent them from bursting into laughter at the same time, and even the captain, who had been floating not far away, also laughed.
"Young man, even the wind and waves can't stop you from being courteous. The native captain sneered in a well-spoken English accent.
Jenny tried to joke along, but when the wind and waves calmed down, she felt even more dizzy and nauseous, and the magnitude of the shaking seemed to make it difficult for her to get used to it, and she covered her mouth and tried to warn Josh to back off, but Josh immediately came over with concern.
"Hey, are you alright?" he asked, craneing his neck to see Jenny's face.
An urge to vomit hit, Jenny could only try to deflect her head, trying to wave her hand, but the effect was limited, and before Josh could turn his head, wow, she ... Only... Literally, spat on Josh's face.
Even if he wanted to apologize, he couldn't speak, but fortunately Josh didn't care, he casually picked up a handful of seawater and washed his face, then changed his position to help Jenny and make her vomit more comfortably, "Wow, there is a big meal of fish here tonight." "
Jenny wanted to laugh, but wanted to vomit even more, and the captain laughed on the other end, "Is this your response?" "
When Jenny was a little better, the captain began to instruct, "Now let's get closer together and move in the direction of the reef." "
The three of them were divided into two groups because the wind and waves were too strong, and although they were not far away, they couldn't get close together. Now that the wind is calm, the trio will soon be together, the captain takes off his life jacket and puts on Josh, dives by moonlight, reinforces the rope, and comes back to put it in the lifebuoy, so that his movements are more maneuverable, and Josh and Jenny can also pull the lifebuoy and chat around the captain.
After "I'm sorry..." found a gap, Jenny tried to apologize.
"It's totally nothing, and seriously, you don't have to take it personally. Josh said very intimately, without any reluctance at all, "Hey, are you tired? Would you like to rest on the lifebuoy for a while?"
After a day's work and the tossing just now, Jenny is indeed very tired, she is not willing to open her eyes now, when she opens her eyes and sees the shaking sea, she wants to vomit even more, just because it is useless to say it, so she has been holding back, at this time, Josh's concern is very in place, Jenny followed his arrangement, leaned her head on the lifebuoy, and tried to rest.
"I warned your producers before filming began, that the Caribbean Sea is rough and windy at this time of year," said the captain, who communicates more smoothly with Josh, who has been complaining that the film crew had to do a night scene and ruin his beloved boat. Jenny listened to Josh patiently talk to him, soaking in the warm waters after the storm, her mood was finally completely free from fear, and her seasickness symptoms began to gradually ease, and she moved towards sleepiness, and wanted to take a nap.
However, when the sound of a speedboat came from afar, and the captain began to blow the whistle desperately, she suddenly became excited again: after making sure that it was absolutely safe, the risk just now seemed to be much smaller, and the fear had also turned into an impulse to share, and she now especially wanted to tell Lillian about her legendary escape experience, and by the way, praise Josh and the captain for their reliable performance.
#
Due to the sudden strong wind and rain, there were still hundreds of film crew members trapped on the island, and after Jenny and others were rescued ashore, the local police were still organizing a fleet to pick up people, and all three of them were directly sent to the hospital. Jenny was diagnosed with slight dehydration after recounting her fall into the sea, and a hanging bottle was inserted, which Mary rushed to within 20 minutes of her admission.
"It scared the hell out of me, really, I was going to have a heart attack -- literally, do you know how broken they were when they got ashore? I heard a guy say that they called Mr. Bruckheimer directly. If you and Josh go missing in the storm - oh my God!" Mary kept talking excitedly, and rushed out before Jenny could reply, "I'm going to call Mr. Vijerry, and I don't know if he's on the plane." "
Mobile phones can't be used in the hospital, and of course there is no signal, Jenny looked at the clock and estimated that they would probably be out of touch for about an hour, and the return time would not exceed two and a half hours. Mary received the news at least half an hour after the incident, which means that Cesare probably decided to come here as soon as she received the news.
Well, Jeanne can't help but admit that she has a little touch, and although she is still a little bit of a 'don't need to spend time on relationships', Cesare has always been very kind of righteous to her.
The captain was discharged from the hospital after the basic examination because he was in good health, and now Josh in the next bed was also having a similar conversation, Jenny listened for a while, and then lifted the curtain that separated the two, "Hey, is Anna also on her way?"
"They almost went crazy. Josh said, "Anna was already on the plane, and you know, everyone still remembers what happened to Arya last year." (See Note)
"Oh, this can't compare to hers, at least our captain doesn't take drugs. Jenny said, and Josh let out a slight laugh.
Oddly enough, he didn't seem to be in the mood to talk, and Jenny didn't need to be too smart to see the change in him - in the sea, in critical situations, Josh was just as friendly, welcoming, and reliable as he had been when they first met, and once back in civilization... He was suddenly very distant and closed off from her.
Jenny narrowed her eyes slightly, and nodded quietly.
"OK. She said, "Well, you have a good rest - I just want to apologize to you, you know, about-"
She gestured to her face, and Josh laughed, "It's okay, I really don't mind, please don't worry." "
The atmosphere seemed to loosen a little, but Josh still had no intention of continuing the conversation, and after expressing his meaning, he hung his head and stopped making eye contact with Jenny.
Jenny thought: It doesn't look like Josh has misogyny, he just hates her.
There was a slight noise at the door of the ward, and Jenny heard the voice intermittently, "Wait a minute, watch the door and don't let people in." Jenny sat up and saw Mary's figure flash in the doorway, and then Gore and executive producer Andy walked in.
"Thank goodness you're okay. Andy said very sincerely, turning around and closing the curtain, forming a private space around the two beds, "Listen, we'll talk about the condolences later, and now Gore and I want to make sure that the police will come and ask you about your situation in a moment, and I hope - this is not an official conversation, Josh, Jenny, but I ask you in a private capacity, no, to say something that will cause trouble for the filmmaker." "
"For example?" asked Josh.
"For example, if you hear about the danger of the season before you go to the island to shoot, or you get into a speedboat without relevant safety training, or you don't wear a life jacket at night, and so on, they ask you inducing questions," Andy said frankly, "If you think it's not good for the filmmaker, then say no, kids, you know how many red tape rules there are about safe shooting, if we do everything according to the rules, we can't do it this time next year." After filming, once the crew is involved in a lawsuit, the most terrible thing is to accept the review of safety measures, once it comes to this point, the whole crew must stop work, and the resumption of work is far away, and the publicity and production of the whole film will be affected, do you hope that?"
Both Josh and Jenny shook their heads—they really couldn't have hoped for that.
"Okay, so now, unofficial, between you and me personally, do we have an agreement?In front of the union and the police, do you know how to speak?" Andy turned to Jenny, "Jenny, are we in agreement?"
Gore remained silent, but looked at Jenny closely. - He is the director, and many decisions may be considered unregulated by Andy, but he insists that Andy give in, so if it is really to be reviewed, Gore will be responsible as well.
Jenny also knows this, of course, in her opinion, there is nothing wrong with this, what happened tonight is an unfortunate accident, and if it affects the filming of the crew, then she is not happy to see this happen.
But before she could speak, she suddenly felt Josh's gaze—he winked at Andy and Gore behind her back, and shook his head gently.
"I ..." the words came to her lips, and Jenny swallowed them again, and she asked Jenny 'hesitantly' about her attitude, "What about your opinion, Josh?"
"I'm tired right now. Josh shook his head, "Anna is already on her way, you can talk to Anna, I want to rest." "
Jenny immediately understood Josh's intentions, "Me too, honestly, Andy, I can't understand what you mean right now-"
She yawned, "I'm sleepy, even if the police come, it's tomorrow, you can talk to Cesare, and I'll tell me the results tomorrow." "
Andy's face darkened, but Gore didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to pressure them, instead stood up and hurriedly said, "Man, I said it a long time ago, it's useless to go directly to them-"
They argued as they walked out of the ward.
When the footsteps were gone, Josh regained his spirits, looked at the door, and said to Jenny, "This is the first lesson Anna taught me, never, never promise anything when your agent is not present. "
Jenny said sincerely, "Thank you, this is a valuable suggestion, I think I almost gave away a valuable favor like this." "
"Haha, you're right, even favors have to be sold for a good price, don't you?" Josh winked at Jenny. "I'm guessing Anna will join forces with Cesare for a big deal. "
Jenny has already realized that she is jerky in the circle, although according to her oriental thinking, it seems a little unreasonable to blackmail the filmmaker to ask for benefits in this matter, and it seems to anger Gore or Jerry, but since Josh doesn't seem to be worried, Gore didn't get angry just now, only Andy has a gloomy look, so she doesn't plan to worry about whether Cesare will lose a big thing.
"I guess so. She said, without hesitation, by smearing Cesare to make a joke, "Cesare will not even let go of the oil in the stone, and their agents are like that." "
Josh laughed, "Otherwise he wouldn't be a good agent." "
The West has a more straightforward social culture, and Jenny doesn't plan to hold back her questions for too long, seeing that the atmosphere is good now, she simply asks, "Hey, Josh, I've always had a question for you." "
"Huh?" Josh raised an eyebrow.
Under the illumination of the fluorescent lamp in the ward, Josh's face looked a little sharp and cold, which was very pleasing to the eye, which directly softened Jenny's words, she wanted to ask, 'Do you hate women', but what she asked was, "Do you want to tear up the contract?"
"You mean..." Josh's surprise was also a little contrived.
"You know, sooner or later, we're all going to—" Jenny gestured, "but your behavior made me feel like we couldn't even have a normal friendly conversation, and I think that was a bad start to our cooperation, don't you think, Josh...? You know, then of course all I can think of is ...."
Generally speaking, she doesn't act too smart in a general social environment, because it will make men feel a lot of pressure - for example, Josh is obviously under a certain amount of pressure now, and seeing his cramped expression, Jenny even relented a little, but still pushed forward, "It's because you... Well... Do you think you can't accept this disguise, or is it because—"
"No, it's not. Josh licked his lips as if he had made up his mind, "No, I'm straight, you can trust me for that." I'm just—"
He glanced at Jenny, "Can I trust you?"
Jenny nodded without hesitation, "Of course, you just saved my life. "
"Well," Josh whispered, "you see, Anna and I didn't tell you the whole truth that day, you know, about whether I had a girlfriend or not. "
"So you had a girlfriend then?" Jenny already had a rough idea in her mind, "but now—"
"Of course, according to the contract, we should go into the cleaning period after June, but I ... Well... I've had a sideshow, you know," Josh touched his nose, "of course, I haven't dated in a long time, but mentally, I'm still in my heart." "
There was a slight movement at the door, and Mary approached the bed while talking to another person, Jenny and Josh both kept their mouths shut, and Jenny lay back in the bed: the contract had a clear stipulation, and Jenny didn't trust Mary to talk about it with her.
"Mr. Vijeri is already at the airport," began Mary, "and he decided to come in person, and Judy called...
Jenny was listening half as hard as she was, and the other half as she was observing Josh's interactions without a trace.
Speaking of which, she should have found out that something was wrong, in fact, she also knew this woman, but she didn't expect to go over there at all - she was Claudia, the makeup artist of the crew, in charge of her and Josh's makeup. Jenny even knew that she and Josh were familiar, but ... It's just that she really doesn't look like the kind of person who can fall in love with Josh, she looks too mediocre.
Of course, now that Josh has revealed the clues, many small movements are invisible in Jenny's eyes, Claudia and Josh's eyes interact, and the two of them are naturally intimate when they speak...
"Damn. Jenny cursed softly, and withdrew her gaze to continue listening to Mary's report.
- The saddest and most tragic fact in the world: Good men generally have masters.
The author has something to say:
Note: 1 Arya is the star of "Vampire Queen", a red star of song and shadow amphibious in the late 90s, who died in a small plane crash in August 2001, and she died in a crash on the way back to the airport from the island after filming the MV, which caused an uproar at the time. Because the pilot not only has no license, but also has alcohol addiction and drug addiction.
2 The shipwreck is not small, Jenny is very timid, you can think of the whole dark sea, there is no other ship, the land is far away, that kind of scene is very scary.

Criminal Minds: I remember the critical moment when the mobile phone was out of contact with no signal three or four times, and the most impressive was the time when Reid was kidnapped, I don't know if I remember it better than me.
