CHAPTER 73, EXCLUSIVE DEBUT-XI

Josie stood on the edge of a dark green velvet sofa, wearing a light silver floor-length skirt, her waist was tight and thin, and her fiery red curly hair was carefully coiled, revealing slender and fair shoulders and neck and a pair of well-proportioned arms. Her expression is idyllic and graceful, and her figure is tall and beautiful, and she looks neither domineering nor arrogant and indifferent, but she has an innate elegance and calmness, which perfectly blends into the surrounding set full of the old Bourbon style.

Leonardo stepped forward, naturally pulled Josie to sit down, and said the words: "Okay, Rose, we've been around the deck for half a day, talking about today's weather, talking about my story, but obviously, you didn't come to me just to talk about this, right?" "

"Mr. Dawson, I..."

"Call me Jack."

"Jack—" Josie returned a polite smile from kindness, and then said in a sincere tone, "I want to thank you in person for everything you have done." Not only because you saved me then, but also because you kept a secret for me later. "

They perform a clip of the aristocratic girl Rose jumping into the sea to commit suicide but being saved by the poor boy Jack in the third class, Rose finds Jack the next day to solemnly thank her.

Leonardo followed with a smile and a very casual tone: "It's nothing." "

He only picked the corners of his mouth slightly, showing that this smile was very dashing, and his posture sitting there was not very elegant, and he didn't even deliberately straighten his body.

In contrast, Josie sits like any old-school British aristocracy one can imagine.

Her shoulders and arms are naturally relaxed, her waist, back and neck are drawn into a tight but not tense arc, her hands are folded on her legs, her knees and ankles are together at the same time, and her calves are slightly tilted.

I have to say that Josie looks very elegant.

Gently pursing her red lips, a clear self-deprecation appeared under her eyes, and said: "Oh, I know you must be thinking, where does this poor rich lady know the sufferings of the world." "

"Nope." Leonardo smiled lightly and shook his head, his voice a little pitying, "That's not what I thought." I wondered what had happened so much that she had to choose this desperate path. "

His clear and bright blue eyes looked at Josie honestly and with concern, his gaze soft and sincere.

That little bit of self-deprecation quietly disappeared under this gaze, but a new emotion that Josie couldn't help but want to talk about gradually rose in her originally hard and cold heart.

Josie glanced back at Leonardo, with a bit of stubbornness in her eyes, and replied, "That's because of the world I'm in, all the people around me, and the so-called rules of my life, they push me forward at the same time-" She said, stretching out her hand, showing the eye-catching diamond ring she was carrying, and her tone was very mocking, "And I myself am so powerless." "

Leonardo grinned widely, looked at the ring and said very exaggeratedly: "Oh my God, look at it, it's really heavy." "

He didn't follow the lines in the script, but this sudden joke was particularly witty and funny, and it immediately made his bohemian temperament come alive.

Josie was not amused by his witticism, but was still immersed in her inner world, almost venting in front of a stranger: "Five hundred invitations have been sent, and all the celebrities in Philadelphia will be present—but at this time, I feel like an outsider, I stand in a huge empty room screaming and resisting, but no one pays attention to my feelings." "

She said as she lowered her eyes.

These long fine and soft eyelashes gently fluttered with her movements, and two rows of obvious shadows fell on her pupils, making her pupils appear melancholy and thick, like two sapphires that wept silently.

In the studio, the infinite gentle warm light enveloped her whole body.

In an instant, that seemingly stubborn beautiful face rarely revealed a trace of inconspicuous vulnerability, and with the subtle atmosphere around her, people couldn't help but rise a little irrepressible love.

Leonardo looked at her silently for three seconds, then suddenly asked, "Do you love him?" "

Josie raised her head and subconsciously asked, "What?" "

Leonardo asked again: "Do you love him?" "

Josie's expression seemed to be very incredulous, and she refused to answer the question, accusing: "This is too presumptuous, you shouldn't ask me that." "

"It's a fairly simple question." Leonardo was also puzzled, and he retold a third time strangely, "You love that guy, or don't you." "

Isn't this the most important and easiest question before entering into marriage?

But she kept it secret.

It can also be said that even she herself does not dare to look for answers.

Josie's tone was light, and she looked away not very politely before saying, "Yes." However, this should not be something that the two of us can talk about. "

Leonardo thought it was funny, so he asked, "Why can't you answer my question directly?" "

"It's ridiculous." Josie thought he was too strange, and his repeated questioning made it impossible for her to continue to maintain the proper upbringing of a lady, and said in a surprised tone: "We don't know each other at all, and we don't have anything to talk about!" "

- especially about this rather intimate question.

Because she could barely suppress her anger, her eyes were exceptionally bright, and the offended anger was like two flames that could not be ignored, vivid and vivid jumping under her eyes.

At this moment, Leonardo couldn't help but be attracted by the flames under her eyes-

It made the body of the noble girl in front of him suddenly have another wonderful thing, like the foam of the sea and the low flight of seagulls, and also like the deep current and vigorous wind.

Vibrant and wanton.

And, some unruly that is always difficult to control.

She took a deep breath, stood up, smirked and told him in a very fast voice: "And, you are not only rude, but also rude and self-righteous—so, I'm leaving." "

However, Leonardo, who was accused, did not have the slightest irritation, only felt that her current appearance was much more beautiful and moving than the previous elegant restraint.

He sat idly on the couch, even adjusting to a more comfortable position, and his eyes watched Josie with interest, from her suddenly crimson little face to the funny way she took steps and retreated.

Josie really turned around, but unexpectedly stretched out her hand like a gentleman, shook Leonardo's hand hard, and said a little breathlessly: "Jack, Jack. Mr. Dawson, what a blessing. The reason why I came out to you today was originally to thank you——"

"But you scolded me." Leonardo Wan.

"Oh." Josie smirked at him, "You deserve it." "

"Okay." Leonardo shrugged, very unconcerned, and even somewhat indulgent.

"Okay." Josie imitated his tone, but added an accent, and shrugged his appearance.

Leonardo felt that the rich lady in front of him suddenly had some real childishness—which was so cute—so he teased her: "Oh, aren't you leaving?" "

"Oh, actually, I am." Josie immediately turned around, but couldn't help but turn back and emphasize, "But what I have to say is that you are really annoying, you are - wait, why am I leaving?" "

She seemed to have just reacted, in fact, the place where they met was the deck of the first class, and she should not leave.

So the lady changed back to the deliberately adjusted aristocratic arrogance, thinking that she was glaring viciously at Leonardo in front of her, and her big blue eyes were simply proud and bright.

"Huh?" Leonardo's tone became more and more gentle.

"Aha-" Josie smiled at him and reminded proudly, "This is my territory, it should be you to go." "

"Aha, well, who is rude now?" Leonardo studied her tone and asked deliberately.

"Huh." Josie, who had temporarily forgotten the so-called ladylike temperament, laughed briefly, and her strong competitiveness made her can't help but put on a smug expression, like a kitten with teeth and claws, which can only be described as cute or playful.

Leonardo couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips and only smiled at her.

And at this moment, Josie completely put aside the aristocratic reserve and arrogance, came to him almost with a robbery, took the pamphlet in his hand, and said cheerfully while looking down and flipping through it: "What are you holding?" Oh, a picture book – are you a painter, Jack? It's a pretty good painting, well, it's really good, it's really quite delicate and excellent work..."

Talking about the art of painting, the noble girl who was bored at the first meeting became very talkative, especially when talking about the painter Claude who he liked but was not very famous. Monet, and Alphonse, who is often considered a commercial painter. Musha, her already very beautiful face became more and more dazzling, and her eyes were even brighter and more amazing.

Leonardo could handle it at first, but soon he could only look at Josie with a gentle and indulgent expression, until he heard a bunch of unfamiliar names and her occasional French words, and he was dizzy and his eyes were straight on the spot.

Therefore, he had to take the initiative to shout: "Card! It was perfect! Wonderful! "

"... Some like Thomas. Moran's brushstrokes. Josie, who was dancing with flying eyebrows, suddenly froze, and then blinked her eyes in surprise and innocently, as if she was still immersed in the conversation just now.

James, who controls the camera the whole time. Cameron thought this last frame was too interesting, but on the surface he only said lightly: "CUT." "

The audition is over.

Martha accompanied Josie down to the parking lot, and while waiting for the elevator, the two seemed silent, especially Josie looked very tired.

With a soft clang, the elevator reached the floor.

After they walked into the elevator, Martha asked, "Are you okay, Josie?" "

"Yes, I'm fine." Josie rubbed her temples, "It's just a feeling of suddenly relaxing and losing my goal, so I'm a little confused." "

——It's as if an important exam has just ended, but the results of this exam are not yet known.

Martha comforted with some concern: "Okay. But I have to say, you auditioned very well just now, and I, as an audience, was completely fascinated by you, especially the part where you and Leonardo imitated each other, and I think your improv was perfectly matched and sparkled. "

Of course, there will be no very specific descriptions in the line book, and the few pages that Josie got only had very simple lines.

But as soon as Leonardo read the dialogue, Josie faced his young and handsome face and felt like a living "Jack. Dawson "was standing in front of her, as if she had traveled back in time to the deck of the Titanic, and she said those lines very naturally.

It's as natural as eating and drinking.

At the same time, James . Cameron is also talking to Leonardo. DiCaprio discussed Josie's performance.

"Leo, how do you feel about her?" James. Cameron remained in the studio, questioning Leonardo, who was also sitting in front of the monitor.

"She makes me feel-" Leonardo, who was most intuitively facing Josie, recalled and replied, "I feel like I am Jack. Dawson. "

James. Cameron raised his eyebrows and asked, "Give me some more specific descriptions." "

He hadn't commented on the girl's performance to anyone, but he was curious to see what others thought of her, obviously, no matter what the outcome was, Josie. Horton has given James . Cameron made an impression – and that has surpassed many actresses.

Leonardo took a sip of coffee and continued: "Okay, let me organize the language. Forehead... How to say, I've seen a lot of beautiful girls, and I've played against that natural stunner, but when she just looked at me, I still had that 'bang' feeling. "

As he spoke, he covered his chest and made an exaggerated gesture of being hit.

"Then I sat here watching the monitor playback, and I realized that when she was silent before, I saw infinite sympathy on my own face." Leonardo smiled slightly, as if there was something novel, "Her performance was tense at the beginning and made people feel very restrained, but then it was very relaxed, and I personally liked that improvisation." "

James. Cameron reversed the picture and froze on Josie's turn, the camera was facing her face, looking very radiant, and the youthful vitality seemed to fly out of the picture.

Leonardo leaned over and took a look, "To be honest, I'm not the kind of person who likes to bring personal feelings into the state of work, but she was really beautiful just now." "

"I hope you maintain this professional ethic, at least in my crew." James. Cameron suddenly turned around and glared at Leonardo, "I can let you bring your 'Wildcat Gang' into the group, up to six people, and arrange some insignificant positions - this can be written into your contract - but you can't hunt my heroine." "

The Wildcats are a small group centered around Leonardo and his best friends, all child stars who entered Hollywood very early, or young people whose parents both work in the industry, and they usually get together to eat, drink, and hunt.

Leonardo didn't answer, but first laughed slowly, and then said, "Hey, Jim, I'm not ready to sign your movie yet, you have to at least convince me to agree to star, so you can think about other things." "

"Okay, but I really don't understand your idea, Leo, art and business are compatible, you shouldn't reject commercial films in pursuit of artistry." James. Cameron shook his head, pulled out the videotape in the monitor, threw it into an iron bucket and lit it, and said seriously: "In any case, even if you only like those literary and artistic films, you should first become a hot big star, so that you have the ability to make your work and life better." "

After he said that, he patted Leonardo's shoulder, stood up and made a look at the others in the studio, telling Leonardo: "Come here today, I will continue to negotiate your contract with Fox." Now we need to have a little meeting for the audition of the heroine. Jon, Mary, and Grant, come with me. "

The main creative team of "Titanic" went to a meeting next door, and Leonardo, a non-staff member of the crew, looked at the sky, went downstairs to drive, and called his little friend Toby. Maguire and Lucas. Haas, save a game at night in the Viper House or somewhere else.

However, what surprised him a little was that the aftermath show after today's audition seemed to be different from what he originally imagined.

Josie. Horton, she used a performance to make him remember her name instead of remembering her phone number.

This shows that he has come to see him as an actor rather than a prey.

and—

For him, Jack. Dawson is really getting more and more attractive.
