At a quarter past nine in the morning, Lindsay woke up from the big hotel bed after a good night's sleep.

The naturally red-haired girl first stretched her waist, rolled around habitually but fell on the carpet in the room, and then belatedly remembered what happened last night.

If I remember correctly, she seemed to wake up from a nightmare last night, and then knocked on Baby Sissy's door. Although she couldn't share the same bed with her in the end, Josie still gave Lindsay a pillow. Let her sleep on the sofa in the bedroom overnight.

Thinking of this, Lindsay's eyes lit up immediately, and she looked at the luxurious big bed that was already deserted.

Great!

She screamed, jumped up with bare feet, buried her whole body including her head under the blanket, and rolled around frantically hugging the blanket.

The people in the living room of the suite heard the movement, came over and knocked on the bedroom door.

"Lindsay, are you awake?" It was her life assistant.

"No! I'm still in a dream!" Lindsay, who covered her head with a quilt, replied loudly, "Don't disturb me! I don't want to wake up!"

The assistant outside the door looked at the time, and could only say, "OK. What I want to say is that an actress flew from China this morning to find Miss Horton. It seems that she is auditioning for a new movie..."

Lindsay jumped up from the bed, opened the door and asked with wide eyes, "Who?!"

Josie's day starts with a workout at 05:30.

Generally, after a simple wash, start exercising under the guidance of a professional coach.

Recently, she has become obsessed with Zumba, which has become very popular in recent years. It gives people a sense of freedom and relaxation, so after the basic training, she has a 45-minute Zumba fitness class.

The coach who came from the United States is a hot Latin American girl with brown skin and Jennifer Lopez-style electric buttocks. She also has a professional coach, a nutrition certificate, and some Chinese. Of course, the fee is not cheap.

But just like that private jet, these expenses will be reimbursed by the producer of "The Trap 2", which is a condition that was negotiated at the beginning of signing the performance contract, even if Qiao Qian herself occupies the investment share in this project. Same.

Business is business, and the treatment that a big star should have must also be fought for.

No one thought there was anything wrong with that.

Even for many people, Josie has already been regarded as a very easy-to-serve star they have met. Her strength and harshness are only reflected in her work, but she is actually very easy to get along with in private.

—provided she was not offended.

At the end of a class, Josie was still drinking water while sweating, her assistant Debbie came over and asked, "Miss Johnson and her agent are here, where do you want to meet her, boss?"

"It's in the small garden downstairs." Josie raised her hand and rubbed the sweat on her cheeks with a towel, "Serve them some desserts and tea that girls like. The one in the clubhouse last night was pretty good. I'm about 15 years old. Be there in minutes."

"Okay, boss." Debbie nodded.

in the garden.

Scarlett Johansson sat uncomfortably on the beautiful rattan armchair. The surrounding scenery was beautiful, but she didn't care to appreciate it, and her mind was full of thoughts about the audition for the "Black Widow" project.

Before the auditions actually even started, the battle outside the audition office was already underway.

Jessica Alba, a popular youth idol under Endeavor Elite, frequently releases press releases, practicing ballet for a while, practicing kung fu for a while, wishing to stick "I can fight" on her face;

Angelina Jolie deliberately dyed a sexy red hair and frequently went out on the street, and her bust seemed to become more proud overnight;

Kate Hudson, the second-generation star, is not very positive about this project. This girl is just like her performance in "Almost Famous", she prefers to hang out in the music circle, but her mother, Goldie Hahn, is ambitious. Bobo, who was photographed having lunch with Woody Allen and Amy Heckerling last week;

There are also some lesser-known young actors and their agents who are also very active in running for this project.

In contrast, Scarlett never thought that she could play the heroine of "Black Widow" from the beginning.

On the one hand, to be honest, she's not confident about her looks.

Because she is not only not the kind of mainstream beauty, such as Kate Hudson and her like, but also has no advantage in appearance for this role.

Take a look at the popular action actresses in Hollywood now——

Josie Horton, Charlize Theron, Carrie-Anne Moss, Cameron Diaz, which one is not a great beauty with exquisite face and perfect body?

On the other hand, Scarlett herself is not too tall...

Well, it's a bit short, even Drew Barrymore, the most criticized angel in "Charlie's Angels", is a little taller than her...

I have never been a model, I don't know how to dance, and I am not very good at sports. No matter how I look at it, I am not expected to be an action actress. I always thought that I would become a serious movie actor in the future.

On the other hand, before receiving this unexpected audition invitation, Scarlett was just one of the inconspicuous clients of CAA agent Brian Lord's executive agents, even Brian Lord himself are rarely seen.

Scarlett, who has transformed into a child star, has mostly literary and drama films in her resume, and has no experience in filming such Hollywood action blockbusters, let alone playing a sexy girl with a variety of styles and a rough life experience. .

As the rumors in the city say, the heroine of "Black Widow" will still fall on Angelina Jolie.

Until Brian Lord suddenly came to see Scarlett.

The first thing this famous Hollywood agent did after seeing Scarlett himself was to arrange for an absolutely safe and reliable plastic surgeon from Beverly Hills.

But now, Scarlett's nose, which was originally a bit abrupt on the face, has become much smaller, allowing her beautiful green eyes and plump lips to attract more attention, and the whole face is visible to the naked eye. more moving.

"Long time no see, Brian."

"Aha, you look stunning, Josie dear!"

Josie, dressed in casual clothes, showed up on time 15 minutes later. She first said hello to Brian Lord, the CAA agent she had dealt with before, and then looked at Scarlett, who was a little reserved.

"Hi, nice to meet you, Scarlett, don't you mind if I call you that?" Josie sat down on the chair opposite Scarlett and Brian Lord, with a smile on her face. Kindly, "You can also call me Josie."

Scarlett looked at Brian Lord beside her, and under the gesture of the other party, said a little shyly: "Of course, Josie, I am also very happy to meet you, you are more beautiful than what I saw in the movie." pretty."

As she said that, the girl couldn't help but take a good look at Josie.

I saw the latter wearing a black sweater, a navy blue coat, and white wide-leg pants. He was slender and slender, chic and elegant, and his skin was as smooth as cream, completely unaffected by the dry climate here.

I have to say that even without makeup, Josie Horton is still a great beauty.

Her face is small and three-dimensional, her cheeks are charmingly sunken, her eyes are very beautiful, the color of her pupils is not so strong under natural light, her lips are full and the corners of her mouth are slightly raised.

If I have to say a shortcoming, it is that her nose, which is praised by movie fans as "with a sense of sculptural contour", is a little tough, but it matches her own temperament ingeniously.

The lines on the face are generally soft, but somehow there is a sense of strength and determination, which makes people feel very convincing.

——But I can't find the sweetness and cuteness when I starred in "Leading the Coquettish" at all.

Just as Scarlett was distracted, her agent, Brian Lord, had entered into a routine exchange of pleasantries with Josie, and said, "There have been rumors in town recently that you and Warner are due to the sequel of "Secretary Belle" There are disagreements in the project, which makes many people eager to move."

"Okay——" Josie raised one corner of her lips slightly, her eyes filled with amusement, "Brian, why don't you tell me, are you among those eager to move?"

Brian Lord laughed without guilt, and spread his hands: "How is it possible? You know, Josie, this is your project, and no one can take it away."

Josie raised her eyebrows, and seemed to answer casually: "That's not necessarily true."

Brian Lord immediately understood, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "It seems that I have a new job to be busy with next."

In view of the success of the previous "Secret Agent" and Josie's current box office appeal, replacing the heroine is a bad choice no matter how you look at it, and no mainstream film company in Hollywood can be so stupid.

Unless, she doesn't want it herself.

And it is.

Warner wanted to start the sequel project of "Secret Beauty" as soon as possible before the movie was released, but they had to re-evaluate the possibility of someone else taking over the role when Josie herself had no interest.

The problem is that it is difficult to find an actress who can take over in Hollywood. After the leading actor Paul Walker became a popular action star because of "Fast and Furious", it is almost impossible to continue to star in a chick movie.

Therefore, on the premise that all the original crew members were replaced, some people within Universal began to suggest why not continue to try the combination of blockbuster actress + fresh handsome guy. be able to achieve profitability.

Brian Lord wanted to win this opportunity for one of his clients.

Josie smiled and admitted that this was not a rumor, and turned to Scarlett and asked, "You accepted Sophia's new film called "Lost in Translation"—is black tea okay?"

While speaking, she poured a cup of black tea for herself, Scarlett, and Brian Lord, and then took a light sip from the cup.

"Yes." Scarlett picked up a glass and explained, "Thank you. This time I am in Asia, I want to visit Tokyo. Director Sofia Coppola is scouting locations for a new film there."

Well, it's not easy arranging this meeting before the audition.

The supernatural Brian Lord finally took the path of Martha Miller, and met the two key figures of the "Black Widow" project at one time.

At this time, Brian Lord added: "Scarlett is very talented and passionate about acting."

Scarlett kept smiling, drinking tea with her head down.

Josie agreed, saying, "You're right, Brian, she's a promising actress."

At this moment, the smile on Brian Lord's face became brighter, and he said, "I heard that you put Scarlett on the audition list for the leading actress, Josie?"

"That's right." Josie didn't deny it.

"You may not know that you have done me a big favor. Count me as a debt to you." Brian Lord's tone was extremely sincere, "You must remember to call me when you get back to the city, I am still waiting to go to your new movie What about the premiere!"

Is it possible that an agent of Brian Lord's level will not be able to get tickets for the "Black Widow" audition?

of course not.

He just wanted to pay the favor.

And show gratitude and kindness.

In fact, everyone in Hollywood wanted to have a relationship with Josie, and using this favor was a sure-fire deal.

And Josie's new movie "The Trap 2".

The mainland premiere has just passed, but some well-informed people in Hollywood have already inquired about the grand occasion of the scene. Even Universal's own "Bourne Shadow" has quietly changed the release date. Only MGM is still waiting and watching. The war film "Wind Talker", which was released at the same time and was produced with huge sums of money, remains confident.

"I'll remember to get someone to send you invitations." Josie took the olive branch, "Let's continue talking about "Black Widow". To be honest, Scarlett is not what I imagined, of course, you are very Pretty, darling, it just makes me feel like there's something missing."

According to the company's current plan, the "Black Widow" project will first select a role, and then let this character appear in the next "Iron Man 2", and then launch a hero origin movie.

This may not be the same as many people in Hollywood perceive, because not everyone is optimistic about the "Iron Man" movie-well, most people are not optimistic about it.

So Josie added: "I hope you all understand that this role is accompanied by a full six-part contract, and the first appearance may not necessarily be a solo movie."

Brian Lord and Scarlett looked at each other.

The former replied: "Yes, I think we have reached a consensus on this point. Scarlett does not reject playing this role for a long time, but the salary must be readjusted for each film."

"This one will be written on the contract." Josie put down her glass, "But the premise is that Scarlett can get this contract."

"Of course." Brian Lord made a pun, full of confidence.
