CHAPTER 47 , LOBBYISTS

"So?" Josie stepped barefoot on a blue-purple yoga mat, raised her arms above her head, and asked half-jokingly and half-seriously: "He won't be so whimsical, let you come and persuade me to retreat, won't he, won't he—Amy?" "

Amy snorted from her nose and rolled her eyes at the cunning little bastard, acquiescing to the matter.

Josie exhaled a long turbid breath, changing postures while following the rhythm, while breathing smoothly and saying to herself: "He thinks I'm not suitable for this role, am I not beautiful enough or not sexy enough?" Oh neither, he thinks I lack a gentle motherhood, and by the look on your face, I guessed right. "

It may sound bizarre to let an eighteen-year-old girl—who is about to celebrate her eighteenth birthday—play a single mother in her twenties, but Caucasian women are generally precocious, and the setting of the role is originally just a confused egg in her early twenties, unmarried pregnancy.

The problem is that most actresses and youth icons want their adolescence to be longer, as if once they play the role of mother, they have to enter the real Hollywood adult world in advance.

That's not cool enough.

Amy said helplessly: "You really want this role? I thought you would pick up another script in Colombia, Dad! I was kidnapped". "

It was a script written specifically by Colombia for Josie, about a rich man who planned to kidnap himself, but Josie read it and thought the story was boring, so the project was shelved.

"No way, most of the people who find me are some rich female characters who are not much different, but I really don't want to be fixed in the same drama." Josie said that she was quite pitiful, and showed some grievances at the right time, "I just want to act well and pick my favorite scripts and characters, but even my agent expects me to be a sweetheart girl responsible for giggling." "

Her grievances were just right, but it's a pity that Amy was fooled as early as when she was filming "Alone in the Limelight", and she didn't look at her big watery eyes at the moment, and her tone pierced her coolly: "Don't act, if you weren't doing your yoga while acting in front of me, maybe it would be more convincing." "

Josie instantly changed her expression and showed Amy a smirk.

Then lean down with your upper body close to your thighs, silently feeling your breath.

She heard Amy quickly defect from the enemy and began to analyze for her: "I see what you mean, Josie. But let's be honest, to get the role, you have to conquer Cameron. Crowe, because the casting director pushed Renee. Zellweger, and Colombia was originally your card. "

This is not wrong, the director is the person in the crew who cannot be bypassed, especially this director also serves as a producer.

Josie doesn't like an inefficient crew and doesn't like an unpleasant crew, so she is not prepared to continue to let Colombia put unilateral pressure on herself, but to get Cameron herself. Crowe.

What, is Tom. Is Cruise not enough left and right casting?

Yes, he can.

After all, he is Tom. Cruise.

But the problem is that Josie's relationship with the big star is simply "I'm your fan", and she herself can't remember saying the same thing to many people, and Tom. The number of Cruise's fans is even more difficult to count.

Slowly adjusting her breathing, Josie stretched her arms and made a simple stretch, then came down from the yoga mat.

She put on a pair of indoor slippers and a thin shawl under Amy's somewhat strange gaze before saying, "I know, Amy, I will follow the normal procedure, don't worry." "

Amy glanced at her.

Josie looked at ease, and her face after exercise had a natural light blush, still sweet and charming.

So Amy put down her heart and replied, "That's fine, you're all my friends, you understand?" "

In fact, this is one of the reasons why she came here today, due to the lust-stricken head of the production department in Colombia, plus Tom, the biggest actor on the project "Mr. Sweetheart". Cruise personally recommended, Amy's old friend Cameron. The pressure on Crowe was enormous.

At this time, if Josie shows her determination to win this role, Crowe will most likely have to accept the heroine she does not like.

Of course, Josie may not be very suitable for the role of this single mother, but it doesn't matter, Columbia has long been ready to write with the group, even if the setting of single mother is deleted.

——And Crowe, really can't bear this plot line.

It was also before Cameron. One of the reasons Diaz's agent failed to negotiate the role for his clients.

Josie poured herself a glass of warm water, took a sip, and said, "Of course I understand." So, as our mutual friends, you have to help me, Amy. "

Amy nodded, did not refuse, and said directly: "Tell me about it, Josie, I try to help." "

Josie immediately said, "Find a time and take me with you to visit Cameron." Crowe, I need to meet him to talk about movies – not as Josie. Horton's kind. "

"What do you mean?" Amy raised an eyebrow.

Inside an old house in the Silver Lake district of Los Angeles, Cameron. Crowe is listening to his friend Ian. Bryce speaks.

His lips were half-pursed, and his expression was a little impatient, but with the help of Ian. Bryce's persuasive communication, Cameron. Crowe's face gradually improved, but he still didn't look happy.

"If the girl's audition can be convincing, I can consider hiring her as the heroine of the film." Cameron. Crowe said a little reluctantly.

In fact, this is equivalent to him basically agreeing to a regular role and no longer being so resistant to Josie. Horton, a young actress, has greatly improved his attitude compared to the beginning.

As for the reason for this, of course, it comes from the well-known filmmaker Ian in front of him. Chris.

This Ian. Mr. Claese is a Hollywood producer who used to work for Steven. Spielberg worked as an assistant director.

He then turned to production, and his second film after switching careers was Michael. "The Return of Batman" starring Keaton became famous for a while.

And last summer, a "Speed of Life and Death" that swept the world not only made Keanu popular. Reeves and Sandra. Bullock's couple stalls also let Ian. Claes's career reached new heights and became even more popular.

Now he is popular with his old friend Steven. Spielberg's call is working for Spielberg's Ampelin Pictures and the Big Three's DreamWorks Pictures.

Hear Cameron. Crowe's answer, Ian. Bryce immediately smiled and said, "I'm glad we were able to reach a consensus, Cameron, my friend." "

"So Ian, about my next movie about rock 'n' roll..."

Cameron. Falling into a music critic for Rolling Stone magazine as a teenager led to the opportunity to tour with a new wave rock band in the seventies, an experience that led him to write a semi-autobiographical script outline that he hoped would actually turn into a movie.

"I know, I found an opportunity to mention this to Mr. Geffen about the music rights." Ian. Bryce said, "As for what you want to find Brad. Pete plays that role, and I will help you convey it. "

Got such a promise, Cameron. The last bit of reluctance in Crowe's heart disappeared into invisibility.

It's just a role audition, and if it's not suitable, he can still use that girl, can't he?

But the current actress is really amazing.

At a young age, he knows how to get everything he wants, whether it is finding a big man in Hollywood as a backer as soon as he debuts, or moving the backer behind him to exchange resources for role auditions.

Well, if Josie . Horton can have Renee. Half of Zellweger's character fit, Cameron. Crowe doesn't think he can't accept this heroine candidate.

Because Cameron. Crowe really wanted to make his semi-autobiographical film, but David. Geffen is the unsung godfather of music, especially rock, and few people can beat him to make such films.

With Cameron. Crowe talks over, Ian. Claise quickly took his leave and left Crowe's home.

In the parking lot near this house, he somewhat unexpectedly met director Amy Smith, who lives in New York. Hecklin.

"Hello, Amy, are there any new projects here?" Ian. Claese asked casually.

He noticed that Amy was not alone, and was accompanied by a young woman who looked like an assistant, an ordinary middle-class girl, wearing a somewhat corny pair of red-framed glasses, and a restrained demeanor.

Ian. Claese smiled politely and withdrew his gaze.

Amy shrugged and said, "Not that fast. I'm here to talk to an old friend, how about you, Ian? "

"Something to deal with." Ian. Claes didn't say much.

The two briefly exchanged a few pleasantries, then said goodbye and left separately, waiting until Ian. Claese drove out of the parking lot, and Amy turned and walked along the path he had come from.

On the way, Amy said with some surprise: "He didn't recognize you at all? I mean, you're also a super newcomer this year, and the vast majority of people in your circle will be sensitive to your face. "

"Then I guess, just now that Ian. Mr. Cleese may be a straight man. The "assistant" beside Amy, Josie in disguise, reached out and lifted her glasses legs.

Generally speaking, straight men are not so hot-eyed, and the evaluation criteria for appearance are usually very direct and simple.

And as an ordinary girl who is not fashionable and does not have a hot body and an angelic face, Josie, who looks a little dull and confused, is obviously ignored.

This is a good thing and shows that her role-playing today is very successful.

But Amy thinks Josie is full of flaws.

Just with a small pair of glasses and a change in dressing style, her perfect face shape and beautiful facial features still exist there, and there is not much to hide.

She even just changed her hairstyle a little!

However, it is worth mentioning that after entering the role play, Josie's whole temperament has indeed changed, and her deliberately adjusted posture makes her less elegant or sparkling, only with a bit of flattering sweetness.

And that's enough.
