CHAPTER 90, EXCLUSIVE DEBUT-XXVIII

"How well did you prepare for the audition?" Nicole changed to a safer topic, "It's the Warner movie." "

Nicole has heard about the role of "Devil's Advocate", and the industry is not very optimistic about this project.

On the one hand, the original novel about religion, human nature and law of various metaphors, reality and magic interspersed with each other, making the entire storyline more complex and messy, obviously not a theme that is easy to please the general public,

On the other hand, because as one of the four big students in Hollywood today, Keanu . Reeves since "Speed of Life and Death" swept the world, the vision of film selection is a little difficult to say, traditional sci-fi films and action movies, recently seems to have heard that he took a small-cost biopic to polish his acting skills, which is unimaginable.

"For me, it's not very difficult." Josie's answer was straightforward.

For this kind of schizophrenic or dual personality role, it can be said that she is a good show, and in a few days there will be a "First Class Fear" starring her that will be released.

Nicole hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Then audition and signing as soon as possible, this is experience." In Hollywood, you never know what's going to happen in the next second. "

At that time, Josie just smiled and turned her head so that Martha could inquire about the progress of the crew, after all, in her opinion, this role is her own bag.

What she didn't expect was that Nicole's fears would come true in a few days.

"Charlize. Theron? Who asked her to audition. Josie was somewhat surprised to hear the name.

The future South African diamond is currently just a rookie, far from the position of leading actress in mainstream commercial films, but she was on the audition list for the actress of the last "Titanic", and she may have an excellent agent or manager.

Martha replied: "Someone recommended her to Taylor, the director of 'Devil's Advocate'. Hykford, she herself went to the door to audition four times, Taylor. Heckford initially thought she wasn't a good fit for the role because she was too glamorous, but the last time seemed a little impressed. "

Josie felt that the director's name was quite familiar, and wanted to use the landline to dial the gossip editor-in-chief Lucy. Spiler's private number, but the other party happened to be busy, so he used the desktop computer in the study to access the IMDB database.

"Technology changes lives. Lo and behold, I have no grievances with him, but my enemies never hesitate to screw up my work, even if it's just the slightest possibility. She pulled the IMDB page to the end and said to Martha, "Most likely it's Richard. Kiel was digging into my corner, they had a time of cooperation, it was just a phone call to him, and it was a great trick to disgust me whether it was successful or not. "

Josie has only a handful of enemies, and only this big star works tirelessly to find things for her, and finding new people to grab roles is not quite like other people's style.

"As for that Miss Theron, this is really a tough and talented actress." She added.

Only such a person is suitable for Hollywood, because the other party has a clear goal and a firm will, and can still face difficulties when rejected, and seize a little opportunity to climb up.

If the person who was dug into the wall was not Josie herself, then she might appreciate Charlize more. Theron.

"This is a newcomer born as a model who just made his mark in last year's "Kid in the Cornfield 3", and it seems that he is still George. Clooney's girlfriend. Martha heard that Josie's tone was a little subtle, so she asked, "What do we do now?" "

"What's the news from Keanu?" Josie asked, "They should always be better informed than we are." "

As the male lead and absolute center of the crew, Keanu can endure the heroine he found and be replaced by a newcomer who appears out of nowhere?

Martha paused slightly and said in a formulaic tone as she could, "Taylor. Haykeford's assistant has informed Charlize. Theron auditions for his fourth time next Monday morning, and may try out the play with the actor. "

Josie picked the corners of her lips, and a casual chuckle spread very clearly through the current to Martha's ears.

She heard Josie respond, "Martha, contact them for me, I'm ready for the audition." If you have a good time, next Monday afternoon will be good. There is also the release of news, my schedule is vacant again - such as "Mind Games", ask if they still lack a heroine? "

Let's be honest, Michael. Douglas, Sean. Pan plus David. Fincher's combination is not inferior to the main creative cast of "Devil's Advocate", but Al. Pacino is an actor that Josie desperately wants to work with.

Only now Taylor. Haykeford's approach made her a little unhappy.

However, Josie was not affected by undeserved anger, but prepared to go to the scene to see the situation in person on the day of the audition.

What's more, the premiere of "First Class Fear" is just around the corner.

Because of the low salary of this movie and the Golden Globe PR of "Leading the Way", Josie and Paramount had a very unpleasant fight, but there is still the last film left between them, and no one is ready to completely tear their faces.

But small actions are inevitable.

Josie was directly absent from most of the pre-promotional activities, after all, it was the Oscars and "Mr. Sweetheart", and she had little extra time to promote a new movie with a supporting role.

Paramount, on the other hand, was a little helpless about her attitude.

On the one hand, that newcomer film contract was inherently unequal.

Old and cunning Shirley. In order to protect Paramount's interests to the greatest extent at that time, Lansing did not stipulate the performance period on the contract, and it is precisely because of this that if Paramount pointed to the contract and insisted that Josie make another movie for them, Josie could also point to the contract for ten years and eight years.

On the other hand, Josie holds "Mr. Sweetheart" and "Titanic", two of Hollywood's top resources, and a well-sounding Oscar nomination despite standing tall, seeing that it will soar in the next year or two, and is expected to attack A-list stars, and is no longer the newcomer who signed an unequal contract without hesitation.

What's more, her generous financier father, who invested hundreds of millions of dollars for his daughter, is not a deliberate secret - although most industry insiders believe that Wall Street investment genius Frank. Horton, this time may pay tuition for love - roughly calculate the Horton family's background, at least for the next five years, Josie. Horton doesn't need to worry about having no drama to play.

So, Paramount really can't do anything about Josie.

Coercion and temptation, fearing that the two sides will completely fight each other; Keep praising it, and it's really unwilling.

In the end, it is the strong woman Shirley. Lansing stepped out, put down the frame of Paramount's president, and took the initiative to call Josie and ask if she had time to attend the premiere.

Josie certainly has time.

Not only that, she also expressed her apologies on the phone, because of the schedule problem did not cooperate with the promotion itinerary, and promised that she would definitely appear at the premiere.

Shirley. Lansing also generously said that Paramount's side quite understood her difficulties, and did not mind this, but hoped that the next cooperation could go more smoothly.

Josie only replied: "Oh, of course, we will work together happily - schedule?" It's a shame that I don't have a schedule this year. "

The two women tussled and probed each other, and finally ended the conversation quite satisfactorily with each other.

Fast forward to Friday night, and the premiere weekend of "First Class Fear" is here.

Josie won a series endorsement of Chanel after the Oscar, so she wore the brand's bright yellow dress tonight, looking particularly young and beautiful, stealing a lot of scenery belonging to the hero and heroine.

"Josie, Leonardo. DiCaprio has already been confirmed to play the leading actor of "Titanic", do you have any private contact? "

"Josie, tell me, are you and Leo dating?"

"Josie, I heard you have a boyfriend, would you mind talking to us about him?"

"Josie, someone witnessed Edward. Norton and you are dating, what is your relationship? "

"Josie, we all know that you are Tom. Cruise fans, will this affect you when making new movies? "

"Josie, can you tell us why Nicole visits classes so often?"

The magnesium lights on both sides of the short red carpet flashed, and the movie actor at the end of the red carpet smiled faintly.

"She turned tonight's premiere into a vulgar gossip weekly interview scene." Richard. The perfect smile on Kiel's face turned around and disappeared, and he lowered his voice to ridicule the agent next to him, "But this blonde silly girl is also worth paying attention to these peachy gossip, why doesn't she act in some movies that are more suitable for her to show off her sexiness?" "

His agent smiled cooperatively and did not speak.

Sou Richard. Kiel didn't expect him to speak either, and asked himself, "Charlize. Why is there still no progress on Theron's side? I spent an important favor to get her to catch a ride with Taylor. Heckford, not to see the situation now. "

"No way, her fame and qualifications are too shallow, and Warner doesn't really see a newcomer as a heroine." - And her opponent is Josie. Horton, the odds are even slimmer.

Whereas, Richard. Gere's disgust for the latter, his agent swallowed the latter sentence, adding: "But that girl has a lot of perseverance and skill, not only Taylor. Haykeford promised to give her a role, and even moved him to let her talk to the actor Keanu. Reeves tried the play, I'm afraid Josie. Horton knew he would be mad at this, right? "

Sure enough, Richard . Kiel flashed a satisfied smile and patted his agent on the shoulder, "Well done." This is a dead hole for women. "

Some people in Hollywood actually know how this "golden girl" quickly rose to the top and why she was able to stand alone in the circle.

On the one hand, she does have the talent to be a star and an actress, she has both personal charm and acting, and she is also lucky.

But more importantly, someone is behind her back.

It's like the heroine of "Mr. Sweetheart".

If it weren't for Ian Ian, who worked for "Speed of Life and Death". Bryce, I don't know how to convince Cameron, the director of "Mr. Sweetheart". Crowe, even if Sony Columbia loves Josie to death. Horton, this casting result had to be a stalemate for a long time over the use of another unknown rookie actress.

I didn't encounter unspoken rules during the audition, and I didn't encounter sexual harassment in the crew, and I went all the way to the stars, and I didn't act in a few movies to argue with seniors who were bigger than myself, Josie. Horton, this person, is really jealous of good luck, and infuriating ignorance!

But now the situation is interesting.

Her protector, the charismatic Keanu. Didn't Mr. Reeves agree to audition with another actress of the same young and beautiful appearance prove that she had developed some kind of attraction to him?

It's a delight.

In any case, the premiere of "First Class Fear" tonight officially opened in everyone's anticipation -
