Chapter 74 You are sick
"Come, Chee-se. Under the skilful command of Jerry Bruckheimer, Jenny and Josh posed for a photo with a guest who had come to the reception, and Jerry smiled and stepped forward to hand the digital camera back. "Check it, Aiden, and if it doesn't go well, get a few more. "
In the film era, it took very little time to take a group photo at a drinking party, but now with the gradual popularization of digital cameras, taking a group photo has become the link that takes up the most time of celebrities in basically every event. Jenny didn't eat much at the party, and after doing some necessary socializing, she was pulled into the photo whirlpool. There is also Josh with the same treatment, both of them, including Johnny, are group photo mascots, and they spent more than half an hour on the group photo before Aiden, and because the two are a couple in the film, they are often separated and invited together to satisfy the vanity of important people.
After clicking a few more times with 'Aiden', and seeing that most of the people in the party had taken a group photo, Jenny asked Judy and Mary to go for a bite to eat, so they didn't have to be with them all the time, and she asked Josh, "Didn't Claudia come?"
In the past few months, Josh has had quite a lot of opportunities to meet her, outside of a few parties in New York before, Jenny has basically overlapped with Josh in every job since she returned to LA, plus the two have a task ahead, it is impossible to act completely unfamiliar, under the deliberate cultivation of both parties, they are now very familiar friends.
"Anna. Josh pouted at him, "Also, I won't have a chance to see Claudia again after the movie is over." "
It's rare for a kid like Josh to raise a styling team at any time, and he can only use his own time to get Claudia a position, even so, during the filming, as far as Jenny knows, Claudia rarely goes to his room, and the relationship between the two is very secret, and even now Anna doesn't know that Claudia is a makeup artist for "Pirates of the Caribbean". She snorted sympathetically, "I think there's a way around it." "
"Well, what Anna values very much now is the news of the cleaning period, and when our news breaks out, her nerves will relax a lot, and then Claudia will be able to come out with my brothers often without being too shy of other people's eyes. Josh smiled as well, "Actually, I think Anna is also a little nervous, and when Claudia is not wearing makeup, no one will believe that we are a couple even if she and I walk together." "
"Should I punch you for Claudia, or praise you for not getting carried away by love?" was a little unkind, but Jenny was amused by his mocking spirit. "Very few people are willing to admit that their girlfriends are not pretty. "
"Oh, it's okay, we don't care about that. "Actually, I think it's a very superficial thing to look at in an accident, and my relationship with Claudia has already passed this point. "
Josh Cold feet aside, in fact, he is indeed a very good chat partner, sincere, simple, self-deprecating, humorous, are very good characters, and Claudia, although not much contact, and not a lot of personality, but to Jenny also feels good, Jenny smiled and said, "Well, it's nice to know that my biggest bargaining chip is useless in front of my future boyfriend." "
Jenny is about five feet six inches, metric 167cm, and Josh is six feet one inch, more than ten centimeters taller than her, so although Jenny is wearing high heels, he can still look down on her very easily, at this time he lowered his head and smiled at Jenny, his eyes flashed with pleasure, "It's okay, your wise mind can make up for it." "
Jenny grinned at him as well, and she was about to speak, when suddenly there was a flash and the sound of a shutter in front of her—Jerry had a camera in his hand, gave them a childish thumbs up, and went to snap pictures of others.
Josh's smile froze on his lips, and the otherwise friendly atmosphere was now a little awkward, and Jenny looked around and saw that no one was looking at them, and most of the people's attention was drawn to Johnny, who had started dancing. She simply pulled Josh into the corner, "Honey, I think we need to talk." "
Josh is not a very bold character, in contrast to the Mr. Mogill just now, he seems a little weak under Jenny's initiative, and his blue eyes look at Jenny pleadingly, "What do you want to talk about?"
In normal times, Jenny would definitely be a little soft-hearted, but it was already nine o'clock in the evening, and today in order to prepare for the premiere, she got up at six o'clock in the morning, in order to pursue the perfect photogenic figure, but also afraid that the food would get stains on her body, so she has hardly eaten until now, and she has been standing for more than an hour just now, even if it is an iron man, it is time to reach the end of the crossbow. She really used the last bit of self-control to not yell at Josh, but still forced herself to cheer up and communicate with Josh in a gentle and comforting tone, "I know you've been wavering and hesitating, and I'm not so sure about this contract, but I have to say, Josh, if you want to do it, do it, and if you really can't do it, give up." If you push yourself with the guilt you have now, I don't think we can even fool the imbeciles in our photos, and this mutually reinforcing contract will turn into the biggest scandal and joke of the year. You know what I mean, Josh?"
Josh was like a child who had finally been reprimanded by his mother after doing something wrong, and he slumped his shoulders, "yes, yes, Jane, I'm really sorry, I don't think this should be a problem for you to bear." "
"Nothing. Jenny said, "You saved my life, remember?"
Josh smiled, "Let's forget about it, it makes me feel even more useless, I mean, I have to rely on my instinctive reaction to unexpected events to pay for my social behavior." "
He took a sip of the champagne he was holding in his hand and pursed his lips and fiddled with the cufflinks of his suit for a moment, and Jenny waited patiently for a moment, but didn't say anything kind - Josh should be preparing to pour out her heart by now, and her silence could keep the pressure right, but not too unsympathetic.
"In fact, part of the reason why I haven't been able to adapt to this arrangement has to do with Claudia. Josh eventually confessed, "I know you feel that I sometimes ... It's not very good, believe me, I'm not afraid of Claudia jealousy, nor are I afraid of cheesy reasons like you falling in love with me, Claudia took the initiative to sign the contract, she has confidence in me, of course, after getting to know you, we are also very confident in you, I believe that there will not be too many drama accidents between us, this should be a very pleasant cooperation. "
He frowned, almost shy, "I'm just... I was just scared. "
"Scared?" repeated Jenny, "OMG, please don't say you're afraid you're going to fake it, fall in love with me, or something. "
"Of course not, of course not. Josh let out a few laughs, "Gosh, you're really humorous, Jenny. "
Waiters passed by, and they all fell silent, and Josh changed for a glass of champagne.
"I was scared because what we were doing was actually a deception. He said, looking at Jenny with wide blue eyes, "Jane, I am not a saint, and the reason why I hesitate is not because we shouldn't, but because I don't dare." You're a nice, funny person, but every time I look at you I think of our agreement, that it means we deceived the whole world, and what would happen if all this was exposed... Frail. "
He smiled weakly, "I've been having nightmares lately, my career is booming, I'm clean, I'm not gambling, I'm not drinking too much – but I feel like my life is like a train accident, miserable. When Anna and I said it, everything sounded simple, everybody was doing it, why wouldn't we? Nobody would find out anything, people didn't care about the facts at all... It sounds simple, maybe it's that simple, but I can't do it - maybe it's some kind of fucking mental illness, I don't know, but I really can't control the uncomfortable feeling. "
"Oh, Josh..." said Jenny, who really felt a little sympathy for him now, "maybe you should talk to Anna, not now, and when the movie comes out, if the box office exceeds expectations, maybe we won't need a contract like this..."
"No. Josh shook his head, and instead showed a determined expression, "No, I have to overcome - I have to overcome, I'm an adult and I have to take responsibility for my choices." "
He took the initiative to hug Jenny, and he pressed very hard, "Thank you, Jane, I know you've been tolerating me for the past few months. Really, thank you very much. "
Jenny was overwhelmed by his hug, but instead of joking, she patted him on the shoulder, "I know you don't like to hear it." But, seriously, you saved my life, Josh, we're not strangers, we're like ... It's like family. "
She said in a half-joking, half-serious tone, "Yes? You and I have experienced life and death, care for each other, have common interests, and we are family." "
"yes, family. That feeling of finding support should be good, and Josh's tone was uplifted, "so all of a sudden it really wasn't a surprise at all." "
"You're already joking – there's progress. "Now, if you will, will you please let me go?" "
Josh let go of her with a smile, Jenny took a few steps back, and laughed too, seeing Anna leading two faces with a spring breeze on her face, she quickly glanced at Josh, pulled the hem, and turned around to make a gesture of welcome.
#
"Ah, so you're here. Jenny pushed the door open and walked out of the terrace, "We were still looking for you, thinking you would go back first-"
She paused awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I-"
Cesare and a middle-aged woman turned around at the same time, and Cesare adjusted his stance, "Jenny, this is my mother Virginia, the manager of the Disney production department - Virginia, of course you know Jenny." "
Jenny greeted Virgilia Vigeri, "Hello, ma'am. Sorry to bother you. "
"Call me Virginia. Ms. Vijeri said that she was a middle-aged woman with a kind face, similar to Cesare in her eyebrows and eyes, but with a very different temperament, and although she wore a suit, she was not at all oppressive. "Don't be too sorry, I'm leaving, I have a three-year-old kid at home, you never want to have a nightlife, my husband has to stay at home tonight to take care of it, I have to go back before he commits a series of tragedies. "
Jeanne laughed merrily, glad she was standing in the shadows, and sometimes she forgot that Cesare was only twenty-six or seventeen years old, and that he was entirely young talent, and that it was not a miracle to have a brother or sister who was more than twenty years younger than him.
"Come to dinner at home this weekend, okay?" Virgilia kissed Cesare on the cheek, "Take Lillian with you." "
Cesare politely said, "If you have time, definitely." "
He used his own business tone.
Virgilia shook hands with Jeanne and pushed the door open, Cesare didn't give Jeanne time to comment, he turned to her, "It's still early in the night, are you leaving?"
"There is a plan for this. "I want to go to bed before ten o'clock tonight—will you go with us or will you stay?" and if you want to stay, I'll let the limousine come back and wait for you." Judy isn't busy walking either, maybe you can join her. "
Cesare, as her agent, of course, came in a car with her today, but different teams have different styles, after the first greetings and group photos, Anna has been dragging Josh away to really get to know some important bigwigs, Cesare's side of the person doing this job is Judy, Jenny has seen Cesare a few times throughout the night, and they haven't talked much.
"It's almost time for me to go. Cesare looked at his watch, "If you're not in a hurry, we'll leave after Michael leaves, I guess he'll leave after talking to Jerry, you won't have to wait too long." "
"Oh, so Jerry was last on his conversation list. Jenny rested her elbow on the railing beside Cesare and adjusted her center of gravity with force, "Mmmmrgh, these shoes are really going to kill me." "
Cesare glanced at her, "So you're in such a hurry to leave?"
"If I take off my shoes now, you'll be absolutely scared of my feet. Jenny swore to him, "Damn Christian Louboutin, these shoes are definitely half a size smaller." "
"Hmm. Cesare said. "Wait a minute. "
He walked out for two minutes, then returned with a stainless steel portable round stool and placed it on the railing, and Jenny quickly sat on it, and couldn't help but sigh of relief and gratitude.
Cesare leaned back on the railing, "No thanks, I'm here for you, ma'am." "
"Ha, ha. Jenny rolled her eyes at him, "Very big-hearted." "
There was a pleasant silence between the two, and Jenny stared longingly at Michael Eisner through the glass door, but unfortunately he didn't seem to be leaving, and was still chatting with Jerry in good spirits.
"So. Eventually, it was Cesare who broke the silence, "I see you had a great time talking to Josh tonight." "
"Oh, it's hard for you to imagine. Jenny said dryly.
"What?" asked Cesare, "Anna and I thought everything was going well between you. "
"Josh is a nice guy, but I'm a little skeptical about Anna's abilities. Jenny also decided that this matter was not suitable for Cesare anymore, of course, as soon as she said 'Family', it seemed a bit bitch to turn around and complain, but she thought that Josh's problem was no longer with Claudia, and this psychological state might be drug addiction and drug addiction if it continued to develop.
She probably recounted Josh's long-standing psychological disorder to Cesare, but skipped Claudia and didn't say that Cesare was obviously close to Anna, and they weren't the kind of little girl relationship that Cesare had with you a secret, you promise not to tell Anna, and if Cesare brought Claudia out of the process of communicating with Anna, and Anna turned around to deal with it, Josh and her would be really embarrassed. "He's obviously not the one who can handle that kind of pressure, and he's already overwhelmed before the whole thing has even started - of course it's not his problem, only that he's a good boy who follows the rules, but Anna should be able to see that, at least she should let Josh figure it out before joining, instead of getting him involved and putting him under the pressure. "
"Everyone's brokerage style is different. "It's not Anna's job to care about the mental health of her clients, she just needs to make sure Josh doesn't make too much of a mess." "
It didn't sound like he cared much about Josh's state of mind either, and Jenny exhaled, "yes, but that makes my work with him very tired, you know, I'm more of the guy in the relationship, and he's the nervous virgin." "
"Of course we can't always work with people we like," Cesare said, "and besides, Josh has a billion-dollar movie more than you do—how did you deal with that tonight?"
"Family or something like BullShit. Jenny shrugged.
"Does it work for him?"
"It looks like it's okay. "
"Good. Cesare said succinctly, "Then keep it up." "
Jeanne was not surprised by Cesare's decision, and as Cesare had about Anna, it was clearly not Cesare's concern whether she was working happily, at least not at this level.
"Next time, can you find a gay?" she asked eagerly, "it will make everything a lot easier." "
Cesare smiled silently—with his eyes, Jenny could feel it, "The reason you say that is because you think Josh is a bad colleague." "
"At least being a Babysitter is not a pleasant experience. Jenny said.
"Let me tell you," Cesare pulled out a double cigar case from the inside pocket of his suit, "do you mind?"
He opened the leather cigarette sleeve and struck a match to slowly heat the cigarette butt, "Let me tell you, you think Josh is bad because he has a bad mental health and needs to see a doctor, and you think a gay guy will work more closely with you - but the truth is, Josh is already a good kind of person in Hollywood, and if I get you Gay, you need to deal with more risks, I don't have sexual orientation, but gay men. It's an undeniable fact that alcohol addiction and AIDS are higher than lesbians and heterosexuals, and considering we're in showbiz, the risks are higher — and even if we don't think about that, why do you think Mr. Gay is mentally better than Josh? Josh is stressed about living in lies, which is normal human psychology, and you have to know that most gays live in lies before they come out. "
"Ugh. Jenny said, "Do you have to hit me with data at length every time I complain?
"I'm just pointing you the obvious," Cesare said, lighting his cigar and taking a puff, "Most people in Hollywood have psychological problems of some degree or another, and Josh has, and so do you." "
"Wait, what?" Jenny frowned, turning sideways to get a better view of Cesare.
"yes, I'm saying you too. Cesare slowly exhaled the smoke ring, his tone very calm, "You have a mental problem, Jefferson, I've been noticing this for a while. "
"Really?" said Jenny, amusedly, "I don't know when you've been licensed, not to mention the handful of phone calls we've had in the last few months—so your insight is impressive." "
"From the moment you really became famous and started to live as a star, I noticed that you weren't in the right shape," Cesare was unmoved, "and you always looked tired, depressed, and tired — I know your schedule is really tight too, but that's not why." "
Stopping Jenny's arguments, he continued, "You worked longer hours and paid less when you were a waiter, but then you were laid-back and energetic, and now you are famous—you are the heroine of an A-grade production, and today is your premiere, and the quality of the film is very good, and the critics praise you, but you can only smile at the party, and all your body language is screaming that you don't enjoy this moment, you just want to get home quickly, Why?Tell me, Why?"
"I..." Jenny said.
She closed her mouth, opened it again, and said, "I... I don't know, I'm just- I just really feel tired, sometimes I feel too stressed - I don't know, I just can't be happy all of a sudden, it's like there's something missing, I just don't know what to say. "
"Actually, you're pretty much the same problem as Josh," Cesare said, opening his cigarette jacket and bringing it to Jenny. "You're all scared. "
Jenny took out her cigar, took the matchbox from his, straightened her legs in self-deprecation, and laid her feet flat without any manner, "Scared, afraid of what? Don't tell me I'm afraid of being exposed to lies by the public, and then lose everything." "
"Maybe it's because I'm afraid I won't be able to pay off the loan. Cesare continued as she spoke.
"Ah, Kim told you?" said Jenny, striking a match, taking a rude bite of her cigar, and hoaring her head as she smoked a cigarette, "do you think I'm going to be scared by this?"
"Wouldn't you?" Cesare asked rhetorically.
Jeanne opened her pouch with her free left hand, pulled out a black card and handed it to Cesare, "A man named Benjamin Mogill gave it to me. "
"Ah, Ben. Cesare took the black card and looked at it for a moment, then gave it back to her. "His hobbies haven't changed. "
"Do you know him?" Jenny shook out the match, and took a shallow breath to exhale the smoke. "He told me you knew him, let me ask you about him. "
"He's from Wall Street," Cesare nodded, "a young talent, a junior partner at Goldman Sachs, a director of a number of small firms, at least that's what I've heard people say, and if you can't imagine how rich he is based on that information, I can quantify it for you." "
"A Goldman Sachs junior partner is available for the premiere of the film?" Jenny raised her voice, "Is he crazy?"
"It's supposed to be his holiday," Cesare said with a shrug of his shoulders and in an unassuming tone. And that's his hobby. As far as I know, Ben is also very fond of art, and I wonder why he didn't make an offer to you in New York. "
"I don't know? Maybe it was because he didn't know I was poor then? Maybe it was because I barely went to parties?" said Jenny, looking at the all-black credit card, to be honest, she had never opened this foreign meat in her previous life, and her ex-husband's family was not interested in it. "Doesn't that sound like he's been invited for the first time?"
"Of course not," said Cesare, "but Ben was a good companion, amiable, unassuming, never showing off, and not having any bad habits, with whom Bell had been with a while and was full of praise. If you need money, consider it. "
Jenny narrowed her eyes at him, "I thought you weren't pimping." "
"Of course I don't, usually. Cesare took a puff of his cigarette, "But I won't get in the way of my artist's money, Ben's model is still very attractive, he will make an appointment in advance when he needs you, the transaction is not so strong, sometimes just stay with him for a day or two, and there is no relationship." He is privacy-conscious, has a private island, the actress is treated as a state guest on the island, and no one will put photos or rumors in the gossip magazine after leaving the island - and you can't deny that he is also a very successful man, and he is always attractive when he is successful, and it is not a chore to accompany him. "
"So if I want to say yes—" asked Jenny.
"Buy something you want, swipe his card, he has a spending notification, and you'll get a call from him. Cesare said.
"Oh. Jenny said that this is similar to some of the stories she knows, and it seems that the pattern is the same all over the world, "but it's easy for him to ask for those things if he has a credit card record as proof of contribution." "
"yes, so being too greedy at first might turn out to be off-putting. Cesare pulled out the ashbox from his holster, "FYI: Bell's first purchase with this card was only one dollar." "
"What did she buy?" said Jenny, curious.
Cesare rested his cigar on top of the ashbox and waited for the ash to fall off. "A set of insurance. "
"Sounds like Bell is a smart girl. Jenny smiled too. "People who know how to measure get more. "
Well, she didn't tell me, but I guess her house in Beverly was Ben's separate gift to her, and the timing was perfect. Cesare followed her along, biting down on his cigar and giving a rude smile, "Bell is a little clever. "
Sending houses separately, and still in the relationship, the benefits of cash or non-cash are definitely indispensable, Jenny looked at the black card in her hand, "Hmm, no wonder he is so confident." It sounds like a very easy and rewarding investment, and I think Bell's house is enough for him to buy a hundred high-end call girls for several years. "
"People on Wall Street are not like us, money is just a symbol to them. "For Benjamin, a million, a million is just a hobby, and their temper is like that, as long as they want, as long as they can buy it, there's nothing they don't want to spend money on — if he takes the time to chase you, it's much more expensive for him than if he spends his time." "
"You're right. Jenny couldn't help but nod her head and admit, "That's Wall Street, money never sleeps." "
She set the black card aside and looked up at Cesare. "You know what, you're really a very perceptive person, as if you can see the essence of everything. "
"That's where the despicable succeeds. Cesare smiled politely.
"Don't change the subject, then," Jenny said, taking the ashbox, "I'm still waiting for you to continue—what do you think I'm afraid of?" "
"Different. Cesare casually said, "The instinctive herd mentality is the main source of psychological disorders in Hollywood, and the process by which you become aware of the alienation of your lifestyle after you become famous is also the process of increasing your psychological stress." "
Jenny thought for a few seconds, then another second. "... Go on. "
"It's a very simple truth, Homo sapiens (Homo sapiens) - when they were first born they were extremely weak races, we are like the great horned antelope in the steppe, the only coping strategy in case of danger is to run away in groups, almost all the unsocial people are eaten, so millions of years of instinct tells you that it is safe to be gregarious, and it is dangerous to be out of the group. "When you're a waiter, you're poor, you're tired, you don't have a future, but you're gregarious, you know that there are thousands of people in the world who belong to your group, you're not insecure, and you think, 'Anyway, my problem is the problem of the masses, and the community will solve it for us.'" "
He shrugged, "Now, you're famous—you're out of the group, you can't blend in with the group anymore, the paparazzi photograph you everywhere you go, people will recognize you, talk to you, and in their eyes, you're no longer part of their group." Your lifestyle is different from most people in the world, and you are very few, and although you have peers, most of them don't have the same exposure as you, they don't need to be photographed all the time, and for most of their lives, they are gregarious, and you are always outlied. This instinctive restlessness is enough to destroy much of your sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, which is your joy and happiness. Your thoughts will become negative, you will have insomnia, depression, ... It's your instinct to call you on the police and urge you to get back into the crowd. "
"Really?" asked Jenny, puzzled, "do you think my need for gregariousness is so high?"
Cesare patiently explained, "Try to imagine that now you don't have attention – you continue with this job, but you don't have attention anymore, you can go out on the street whenever you want, you can eat, hang out, take the subway, talk to strangers... Like you did before Chicago, would you be willing to continue this job?"
"Of course. "
"Then the problem is not in your work," Cesare said, "in the fact that you are now denied the freedom to eat and wander in the streets, and considering that you are not keen on socializing with strangers, it is reasonable to conclude that you are afraid that you will no longer be able to blend in with the crowd, and in fact it is the DNA in your body that has survived since time immemorial that tells you that you are in danger now, and that if you encounter an enemy, you cannot rush into the nearest crowd, you cannot be protected by the group." "
Jenny found herself really convinced, and when she looked at her inner world, she was surprised to find that Cesare really dissected her mentality accurately, to be honest, she wasn't a very social person, and she didn't really care about saying that she couldn't take the subway, eat street stalls, etc., what she really cared about was that no matter where she went, she was the center of attention, and she had to keep a constant state of confrontation, and this This state is undoubtedly very energy-consuming, perhaps because of this, she feels that she has been being spied on, has never been able to find a sense of security, has not been able to rest and relax, so the pressure has accumulated bit by bit, making her really tired and depressed. To be sure, she's exercising the same amount now as she did when she was a waitress, but she's really not as motivated as she was then.
"And how do I deal with this fear?" asked Jenny. "Like Josh, by complaining, getting a psychiatrist, passing it on?"
"I don't know. Cesare replied calmly, "As I said, this is a collective psychological problem. You and Josh are both victims, of course, Josh is weak, he may break down earlier than you, you perform better than him, but it's these, those mental issues that prevent you rookies from eventually becoming A-list, super A-list, or even higher goals – your goals. "
"Is that what people say about ruined fame?" said Jenny, "Rivan Phoenix, Amy..."
She suddenly remembered that Amy Winehouse was not well-known now, and hurriedly swallowed the words, but fortunately Cesare did not get to the bottom of it.
"Yes, at the end of the day, it's a war. He said, "You and your instincts, we know that there must be people in this world who can overcome the herd mentality, and every generation has outliers who remain independent-minded, and I don't think they are under much less pressure than you are when they insist on being maverick, but how do they overcome it? "
"You can only cheer me on off the field. Jenny said.
"yes, I can only hope you're the one who won. Cesare took a deep puff on his cigar, "You know what I'm going to say, Jefferson. "
"Don't let you down?" asked Jenny.
Cesare agreed. "Don't let me down. "
"Huh. "You say it lightly." "
But there was no anger in her words, and Cesare did not answer, and they just relaxed and smoked half a cigar and watched the people in the room come and go.
"You know, Michael should have left early. Jenny, who was already a little drunk, put the cigar on the ashbox, let it go out naturally, blew out the last puff of smoke, and lit the room. The venue has played more energetic music, and most of the people who stayed were young crew members.
"Are you leaving?" Cesare put his cigar on the shelf.
"Wait until the smoke is gone. Jenny said.
She set the ashbox aside, sat up straight, stomped her loose heels, and let out a soft cry of pain, "Fuck." —and then picked up the black card given by Benjamin.
"What are you going to do with it?" asked Cesare.
"You want to know?" Jenny glanced at him.
Cesare stretched out his hands, "You don't have to answer. "
Jenny smiled, she flipped through the card and looked at it, took out the phone from her handbag, found the customer service number and dialed it.
"Yes, I picked up this card, it seems that someone accidentally dropped it, and the card number is ... The customer's signature is Benjamin Mogill. I'm going to cut it out, and I hope you'll get in touch with Mr. Mogill and get him a new card... Thank you and have a great day. "
She hung up the phone and spread her hand at Cesare, "You know now. "
Cesare shook his head with a rare smile, "You should at least brush it up." "
"You mean?"
"My counseling fee. "
Jenny also smiled, "yes, maybe I should brush out the 500,000 loan and paint another house, right?"
"You do need money right now, Jefferson, that's an indisputable fact. "
"I need money right now," Jenny stood up, "Oh, these goddamned shoes—— I need money right now, but did I get into showbiz for money, Chesa?"
For the second time tonight, Cesare smiled, "Of course not, Jenny. - Allow me. "
He reached out and took a few steps around Jenny, helping her adjust to the feeling of walking.
"Thank you, Lord Vijeri. This time Jenny was polite, "But since we mentioned money - did Kim tell you that if I don't get paid three million for the next film, I won't be able to take it?"
"Is that what King said?" asked Cesare. "It seems that he has a lot of faith in you. "
"What do you mean?" asked Jenny, "can we get three million?"
"Three million is an unacceptable number. Cesare shook his head, and he paused. "You don't seem to be at all intimidated. "
"Why am I scared?" asked Jenny, tapping on her purse, "remember, I'm a woman who even cuts black cards." "
"Jenny came back so soon?" Cesare let go, "will he be able to walk steadily?" good—well, but I'm not lying to you, three million is an unacceptable number. "
Jenny raised an eyebrow.
"At the moment, I haven't been in contact with the studios, everyone is waiting for Pirates to come out, and in my plan, our bottom line is five million. Cesare's tone was still flat, "Less than five million offers, we won't even read the script." "
He pushed the door open for Jenny and made a gesture of please.
Jenny smiled at him, straightened her shoulders, and was the first to step into the changing lights.
The author has something to say: Notes: 1 Benjamin Mogill is my fictional man. Goldman Sachs is the most famous investment institution on Wall Street, and I think everyone knows this... Goldman Sachs is to take the general staff - vice president - junior partner - senior partner such a promotion route, generally speaking, after the employee joins, if it is very good, theoretically 5-7 years can be promoted to junior partner, generally speaking, thousands of vice presidents compete for dozens of new junior partners every year.
