[US Entertainment] Popular all over the world

Josie retracted her gaze, and told the girl in front of her bluntly: "To be honest, Jessica, I personally don't think you are suitable for this role, but I will let the production assistant send an audition invitation to your agent, okay ?"

The first principle of casting is whether the actor is suitable for the role.

This is the experience of countless professionals.

It's just that there are always some games outside the rules in this circle, and the actor who finally gets the role may not be the one who plays the best.

Besides, she's not the best one yet.

It's hard not to be disappointed by Jessica Alba.

But she immediately cheered up again, still showing a perfect smile, and said: "Of course! I still want to try!"

At the same time, she couldn't help thinking:

Although I have collaborated on "Dancing Out of My Life", I am not a member of the "Josie Gang" who is very popular, nor does I have the good luck of Brittany Murphy. Not in that social club now either;

There was some misunderstanding with producer James Cameron because of the filming of the second season of "Dark Angel of Doom"-was it because of what Cameron said?

Perhaps, she should really apologize to the other party more sincerely and proactively, as her agent said.

The problem is, according to the rumors in town, Fox's relationship with James Cameron, Fox's relationship with Josie Horton, people have to worry about...

The elevator arrived in good time.

Josie bid farewell to the absent-minded Jessica Alba, unaware that her decision tonight indirectly caused the girl to be bound to Fox's chariot.

Of course, even if she really knew, she would not interfere with the casting results of "Black Widow".

After all, the purpose of the company to make movies is to make a profit.

It's just a incidental thing to praise one's own person, the premise is that he or she must also have enough talent to do this job, and can be used by her.

It is the nature of capital to pursue profit, and Josie is no exception.

With the end of the Oscars at the end of March, the annual awards season has also come to an end.

Afterwards, Josie took the time to go back to her alma mater for a talk, and a professional publicist was in charge of writing the manuscript.

According to the practice after becoming famous, the company under her name has been donating to Tisch College. In addition to maintaining the "Horton Film and Television Production Center" named after her, it also provides two types of grants and scholarships, aiming to help college students better complete their studies.

In addition, she also donated money to a non-profit organization called "Water Purification Project". On the surface, she is contributing to environmental protection, which helps her public image. In fact, the operating officer of this organization is Claire. . Underwood.

However, the "clean water project" is not prominent in the list of various organizations favored by Josie.

Celebrity publicists will always spare no effort to arrange various positive personas for their clients. Compared with talking about politics in the turbulent international and domestic situation in recent years, environmental protection is a safe card.

People who understand what the "Water Purification Project" stands for tacitly choose to keep their mouths shut, while those who don't understand the "Water Purification Project" think it's just another perfect public relations for female stars.

anyway.

After dealing with the trivial matters in New York, Josie and her group embarked on the overseas promotional journey of "The Trap 2". In addition to the originally arranged accompanying team, they were also packed on a private jet and busy with plastic girlfriend Sheila Lindsay Lohan of Lee Duff.

Because of her starring roles in "A Couple Made in Heaven" and "Little Reporter and Big Detective", Lindsay has become a hot girl idol nowadays and is being favored by Disney.

Different from the historical track, Mr. Luo Han did not lose his job on Wall Street, but came to San Francisco from New York and is currently working for Tianmu Capital; Sent to a rehab center, she was replaced by a professional broker from Endeavor Elite.

"Am I naive?" Not long after the plane entered a stable flight stage, Lindsay nestled on the sofa, holding her little head with her hands, and put on a posture of wanting to talk, "Alan Parker said Thinking so, he scolded me."

——Alan Parker is her current agent.

"A little bit." Josie said calmly without raising her head.

She is taking over the itinerary for the next few days from her assistant. After an eight-hour flight, they will land in the port city and transfer to the mainland, starting the first stop of the global promotional tour of "The Trap 2".

"But it's not all my fault..." Lindsay muttered aggrievedly, her tone becoming more and more righteous, "We were just playing around in the beginning, and I didn't ask Aaron to break up with Hillary."

"Well, that's right." Josie seemed to agree with Lindsay's point of view, "At the same time, I believe you are not the first girl he cheated on, nor will you be the last."

Lindsay's voice rose, and the corners of her mouth suddenly curled up, "Look, you think so too, right—it's really not my fault!"

At this moment, Josie closed the document and looked up at Lindsay with a half-smile, but the latter seemed to be a little guilty about this matter, and didn't dare to meet Josie's eyes.

Josie said: "The point is, you and Aaron Carter were the only ones who kissed at the party, got photographed by a private eye hired by Hilary Duff, and made headlines, didn't they?"

Lindsay didn't reply, she drooped her head and touched the tip of her nose.

The cabin suddenly fell silent.

After a few seconds, Lindsay dared to raise her head, took a peek at Josie who was working again, and said in a low voice, "Next time I will be more careful, and I won't let anyone sneak into the party."

"That's not the problem, dear." Josie raised her eyebrows, and took another document from the assistant, about the progress of Weta Digital's special effects production.

Post-production on Iron Man was a big project.

Due to the unprecedented success of the "Lord of the Rings" project, Weta Digital has become the industry leader, and Tianji Films, the predecessor of Tenshen Group, also exchanged a small share of equity with it. Therefore, under the full squeeze of Fox, "Iron Man" Most of the special effects production did not make people worry.

However, Weta Digital's background is insufficient, and at the same time, it is still producing special effects shots of the "Lord of the Rings" series, so it has to outsource some work to other companies in Hollywood.

Hollywood is an assembly line film factory.

'Is not it? '

Lindsay wisely didn't ask, but blinked, trying to look as sincere as possible, and said softly, "I don't know, Josie."

She's really good at pretending to be pitiful.

In other words, this girl's talent in acting has indeed surpassed most of her peers.

"Then talk about the 'you don't know' question, Lindsay, if I remember correctly, last time you praised Duff as a sweet and lovely friend."

Lindsay was very satisfied with Josie referring to Hilary Duff as "Duff", nodded and said, "That's right, but that happened last time—oh my god, she turned against me because of Aaron! I I don't think we're friends anymore!"

"Actually, from the moment you get entangled with AC, you are no longer friends." Josie's tone was light, completely stating the facts, "—I thought you should understand this."

"You think I did something wrong?" Lindsay bit her lip, a little unhappy.

"Is this important?" Josie said noncommittally, "The important thing is that you are responsible for any decisions you make."

Lindsay fell silent for a moment.

In fact, she thinks it's important.

But under the current situation, she didn't dare to speak to Josie, because she was more afraid of getting some sad answers from the other party.

In fact, Lindsay knew that she had done something wrong, but even so, she didn't want someone close to her to blame her for it, especially Josie.

After a while, Lindsay, who was still biting her lower lip, turned her face to look at Josie, bent her legs on the three-seater sofa, and hugged her with both hands.

She looked a little resistant, but she still mustered up her courage, "Josie, can we talk?"

Those two round blue eyes looked at Josie eagerly, and the corners of her mouth subconsciously pursed, revealing the unrest in her heart.

Speaking of which, Lindsay is only 15 years old. Compared with the precocious teenagers around her, she still looks like a child-in fact, she is really just a child, a rather rebellious child.

If there were no accidents, her life would have been an excellent commentary on the status quo of Hollywood child stars, chaotic, out of control, and hopeless.

"Okay." Josie put down her work, turned her chair around, and asked Lindsay, "What do you want to talk about?"

As she spoke, she waved her hand to signal the others to avoid it temporarily.

"Just talk about your opinion of Aaron?" Lindsay said tentatively.

"Your little boy friend who loves alcoholic parties before he's an adult." Josie commented very straightforwardly, regardless of Lindsay's suddenly disappointed face, "His brother should have taught him a lot, they know how to climb up , and know what price I have to pay.”

Like this scandal.

Two popular youth idols tore their faces for a man, and their pure images were damaged to varying degrees. Only Aaron Carter, who was in the eye of the storm, had both fame and fortune, not only gained a wave of intensive exposure, but also steadily The character of "Girl Killer" stood up.

If Josie hadn't directly packed Lindsay on the plane, the three of them would have contributed to the gossip tabloids for several weeks.

"But, I think he likes me quite a bit." Lindsay's tone was not very confident, "He took me to meet Nick and Superboy, confessed to me at the party, took me to Disney...and you don't think he Is it really handsome?"

"I don't think so," Josie said, "and I don't think he really likes you either."

"How is it possible!" Lindsay's eyes widened.

"Isn't it?" Josie asked calmly.

Lindsay bit her lip again, not wanting to admit it.

"At least he shouldn't show his love to you without taking care of his girlfriend." Josie sighed slightly, and said, "I know your original family is not perfect, but, sweetheart, you have to know that some love can heal, Some loves are poisonous. And no matter what, the first thing you have to do to get love is to love yourself."

Lindsay didn't answer, just grabbed a throw pillow and buried her face in it.

Josie didn't continue to say anything, and turned back to answering emails on her laptop. She didn't expect that a short conversation would be able to reverse the girl's errant views, leaving time for her to slowly digest.

About ten minutes later, Lindsay raised her head from the pillow with an "ow" sound. She seemed to have readjusted her emotions, and said again: "Actually, before this matter started to ferment, Alan Parker and my PR was looking for someone to push it down, but someone told me this was an opportunity to transform me from a child actor."

Josie in front of the computer didn't look back, she just said, "Go ahead."

"You know, I took on "Hot Mom and Hot Girl". During the last meeting, the producer of Disney gave me some career advice." Lindsay suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and poked the pillow casually, but didn't Knowing where to find a small mirror to look at my face, "Should I really have laser freckle removal? Or a rhinoplasty? To be honest, I'm not very satisfied with my nose, maybe I could dye my hair blonde."

Hollywood has almost no real noses.

Racial disadvantage has caused the prevalence of nose surgery. Ordinary people will choose to seek help from doctors to make themselves beautiful, let alone artists who need to face the camera?

Although Lindsay has no troubles such as oversized nose wings or humps, she always feels that her nose bridge seems a little less refined as she grows older-as the producer said.

"I hope you're not serious, Lindsay." Josie's tone sounded disapproving, and she stopped what she was doing and looked at Lindsay.

Lindsay paused, then shrugged her shoulders: "Well, Alan Parker has already scolded me."

In fact, she is already very beautiful and cute now. Most importantly, there is a lack of this type of teenage actors in the market. Three-quarters of Irish blood make her freckles and red hair unique.

It is impossible for a successful producer not to know this.

Josie stared thoughtfully at Lindsay's face.

Lindsay also seemed to have recovered from the last topic, touched her cheek and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Josie shook her head, called Debbie over, and asked Lindsay the name of the producer, intending to ask the people in Los Angeles to check the other party's details.
