CHAPTER 87, EXCLUSIVE DEBUT-XXV

Keanu, who had just returned from Canada, had messy semi-long hair, cyan stubble on his chin, and was still a black T-shirt and black jacket with his eternal jeans, but the whole person was visibly larger than a size to the naked eye, and he looked exceptionally tall.

He leaned against the door and hugged his arm, smiling slightly at Josie: "Long time no see, Josie, you always surprise me." "

"And you always surprise me, Mr. K." Josie smiled back as well, but she frowned slightly in the next second, "Haven't your shoulders and neck fully recovered yet?" "

"Don't worry, just a small injury." Keanu wasn't surprised that Josie knew the news of his injury, as there was so much written in gossip magazines.

In fact, he had injuries of varying degrees in the neck and back area at the time, but now it's much better.

Brad felt as if he was a little redundant, but greeted him politely: "Hello, Mr. Reeves." "

"Hello, Brad, just call me by my name." Keanu walked over and patted Brad's shoulder and glanced at the bass in his hand, "Good fun, when did you start practicing?" "

"Almost six years old." Brad replied cautiously.

"Six years old?" Keanu looked surprised and praised, "Then you really have a good relationship with it, enjoy it, man!" "

Brad's smile grew shy.

Keanu asked Josie again: "How are you preparing for your Oscar?" I mean, I was a little bit ill-thought-out, and if that dress doesn't fit, be sure to hang it in the cloakroom instead of putting it on the red carpet. "

He heard that Josie seemed to be bothered by her Oscar red carpet look, and just happened to see a dress in the magazine that fit her well, so he immediately contacted the magazine and the brand and flew the dress from Paris.

But after sending the dress, Keanu remembered that the red carpet style of female celebrities is very exquisite, and if Josie is fighting for a spokesperson contract for a certain brand and wearing a red carpet on a skirt of another brand, it will obviously cause her trouble.

But what Keanu didn't expect was that in the morning he had people give Josie a dress, and in the afternoon he ran into her near the rehearsal room of his band, and happened to see her playing a drum kit.

In particular, the silver-white flame-patterned black drum stick flipped between her fingers, giving people a feeling of wildness, but also calm.

However, as soon as she left the performance, Josie returned to her former appearance, a quiet and calm blonde girl, who seemed to be a little more pleasing to the eye than others, and always made people feel happy.

"Thank you, the dress is beautiful, but unfortunately, I may not be able to wear it." Josie explains, "My PR was helping me get a spokesperson contract, and I would probably wear a plain black dress and Tiffany's jewelry — and for that, they paid a sponsorship fee." "

Generally, female celebrities wear black dresses to wear eye-catching jewelry, and that is because jewelers spend a lot of money.

"I understand." Keanu nodded.

"Forget it, don't mention the Oscar, I feel that my nomination is full of moisture, and if the next new movie misses, those people will scold me very badly." Josie spread her hands, "Although this sounds a little proud, I really don't know why I was nominated, in fact, I don't want to, at least not this time." "

"It's very proud. The last time I saw the newspaper say you paid a lot of money for a nomination, Cameron got a fuss about it and tried to add a little depth and room to your character. After that, Nancy stepped aside to instruct Brad in some tips.

"I know, and I know who did it." Josie said.

The bass over there sounded, and Keanu and Josie walked to the other side.

Keanu asked, "Did Gwyneth apologize to you?" "

Apparently he was also very well-informed, and he even knew what happened at the dinner party at Geffen Manor.

However, Keanu is low-key, and Brad. Pete and those people were not very familiar with them either, so they just called David. Geffen – He can't let his girls be hacked innocently anyway.

"Forget it, it's nothing." Josie shook her head, "I just think she's boring, good work proves her professional ability as an actor more than any news headlines, and it's mainly herself who makes her lose the role, but I just got the role she didn't get." "

Keanu listened silently, and when she finished speaking, he told her: "I will handle this matter, rest assured." "

Josie said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I don't care about any verbal apology, if I have to express apologies, I might as well do something practical." "

"She has two good scripts in her hand, you should read them." Keanu thought it was a little funny, he knew Josie's mind as soon as he heard it, but he still took the initiative to say, "Or maybe you prefer Brad's hand." "

Josie carefully recalled and found that the pinnacle of Miss Paltrow's career was the mixed "Shakespeare" and "Iron Man" many years later.

And the former was still her best friend Winona from the beginning. The script stolen by Red accompanied by the infamous Weinstein defeating "Saving Private Ryan" at the Oscars.

Josie wasn't very interested.

It's Brad. Pete, a long-term popular A-list superstar, has a long list of classic films on his resume.

She immediately said, "I don't want to deal with Miss Paltrow, maybe Brad would like to see the new project that my production company is about to prepare?" However, it is still only an idea, and there is not even a specific script yet. "

"You're ready to be a producer yourself?" Keanu came interested and looked surprised.

Big stars will more or less get involved in the production field, but it is also very rare for someone like Josie to cross the line just after becoming popular.

"Yes, dear Mr. Horton gave me an 'angel investment'." In front of Keanu, Josie described the incident warmly, "And we have signed a distribution agreement with Fox." "

In fact, the latter matter is one of the conditions attached to Skyscreen Capital's investment in "Titanic".

It can be said that Frank has not yet met with Josie, and he has clearly arranged the future of her and Tianji Pictures for at least three years.

I don't know where Frank got so much confidence - for Josie - hoping that when the time comes, he will see that the first week of "Titanic" box office will not have a myocardial infarction.

In any case, thank you for the generous "Franklin", after all, if it were not for the financing provided by Skyscreen Capital for Tianji Pictures, Josie's plan to produce its first film may have to find other film companies for in-depth cooperation.

Instead of relying on the well-funded Skyscreen Capital as it is now, she directly threw money to pull up a professional team - she has put Paramount's producer Connie. Wilson pulled aboard, a little closer to the first step.

"It sounds really good, you're doing a great job." Keanu praised Josie and asked casually: "What kind of story is it?" Speaking of which, I don't have any schedules for the second half of next year. "

It seems that he intends to help her, and even reveals the intention of taking the initiative to participate, even if she has not even found the main creative team.

But Josie glanced at Keanu and replied, "It's a story about a man with schizophrenia and imaginary worlds, and I want Brad to be one of the male protagonists, his temperament is very suitable." "

Keanu immediately understood what Josie meant.

No one knows his acting level better than Keanu himself, and he is certainly excellent compared to ordinary actors, but he has never been known for his acting skills, but he has an indispensable screen charm that attracts countless fans to enter the cinema for him.

"That's interesting." Keanu said, "Then again, I'm talking to Universal about a new project, the heroine is a character with schizophrenia, are you interested?" "

Josie couldn't help but smile and said, "You don't ask me, I was just about to ask you this, after all, no one can refuse you or Al. Pacino. "

Keanu shrugged his shoulders and joked, "No one can refuse Al, I believe it, but I'll forget it." Because of the sad Johnny . Nimonic had long since been rejected by Miss Horton. "

He mentioned Johnny. Nimonic is a movie released last year, and the male lead played by him is called this name, which is the same as the title.

When Josie first entered the industry, Martha found her an audition for the heroine of "Very Spies", but she refused because she didn't think it was very suitable, and she didn't even audition.

"I really didn't expect time to pass so quickly." The curve of the corner of Josie's lips couldn't help but deepen, and he sighed a little: "At that time, I could only sit in the movie theater, and I was so fascinated by Jack of "Speed of Life and Death" that I couldn't find North, but now I can stand and chat with him face to face. "

Keanu's deep eyes softened as a result, and he said with a smile: "And you will soon have your own Jack, that is still James. Cameron's film. Seriously, Josie, you're better than I could have imagined, and I don't even know how to describe how you make me feel. "

Josie just smiled and didn't answer immediately.

Because of the topic they talked about, the next direction can become very ambiguous because of her answer, of course, it can also be the other way around.

The problem is that this is not the right time to come.

On the one hand, because Josie was still immersed in the tender trap of a certain New York sweetheart some time ago, and is currently interested in Edward. Norton and his relationship are satisfactory.

On the other hand, Josie thinks that being friends with Keanu is more comfortable than being a lover, after all, she is not ready to dig her mind to catch the man in front of her, and she does not want to make herself his next "girlfriend of the week".

She prefers to take the initiative in her relationship, come with the sex, stop at will, rather than challenge the prodigal son to turn back to the difficult task of wasting time and energy.

And there are so many more interesting and important things in Hollywood than the relationship between men and women.

"Is it? But I don't think that's enough. Josie raised her eyes, her tone a little self-deprecating, "Because I find that it is many times more difficult for actresses to achieve equal success in this industry than for male actors." "

Keanu moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something.

But Josie suddenly smiled and said first: "Don't look at me with this expression, if I'm really sad, I will probably throw myself into your arms and cry." But the truth is, all of this only makes me feel more challenging and makes me want to change them. "

"Change? It's a great idea. Keanu approving, his gaze soft, "I'm looking forward to the day I see this in the future, really." "

"Then you can wait and see!" Josie winked at him, her tone full of confidence, as if nothing could knock her down.

Keanu couldn't help but laugh, and the bitterness in his heart was swept away at this moment, and it took a few seconds before he solemnly said, "Okay." I must have waited. "

Infected by his solemn attitude, Josie did not continue to say her witticism, but asked, "Tell me about you, Keanu, how are you doing?" "
