After a brief stop in New York, Josie then returned to Canada to continue filming I, Robot.

After entering December, the outpost of this year's awards season began, and Josie also started her final fitting session before returning to Los Angeles.

As early as a few years ago, she had stopped accepting sponsorship, so it was logical that most of the dress styles for this year's awards season were handed over to Thierry Muller, the costume designer who collaborated with "I, Robot".

Josie has always been a loyal supporter of this designer. She likes those suits that have been criticized for overemphasizing women's curves, and also those dramatic high-end evening dresses. A photo taken by black supermodel Iman.

Considering that Thierry Muller officially retired this year, and the brand of the same name has also closed the advanced customization production line, Josie is willing to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with her. For his new muse, and designed a series of stunning costumes.

For example, the nude mermaid skirt that he and his assistant were wearing for Josie, even though it was deliberately adjusted for comfort, was still very anti-human.

But when Josie wore this skirt and stood in front of the full-length mirror, even she herself was almost mesmerized by herself.

—although she still doubted that the skirt would be able to sit on it at all.

There is another long skirt from Thierry Mugler's 1999 show that can't sit down at all. It is so sexy that it is almost seductive. Gorgeous.

But the problem is that this skirt is extremely easy to be exposed, and has strict requirements on the figure and temperament of the wearer. No wonder no star has worn it on the red carpet before.

"To wear this on the red carpet, you have to lose at least 5 pounds." Thierry Muller said while adjusting the waistline with a pin, "Actually, I never thought about it at the beginning of the design." To be able to step on the Oscar red carpet, because I didn't think about how it would sit down."

When he designed this skirt, he was at the peak of his career. He almost no longer considered the functionality of fashion, but regarded design as an artistic expression, pursuing the collision of novel materials and advanced customization, and combining contrasting elements The wonderful beauty of fusion.

Perhaps because of this, the advanced customization department of ThierryMugler, the brand of the same name, was eventually closed. For capital, any art is only meaningful if it creates actual value.

Josie turned carefully in front of the mirror and said, "No, I'm not in a hurry, you have time to modify it."

In fact, the dresses most Hollywood actresses prepare for the Oscars are not very easy to wear. After all, it is a grand occasion that will be broadcast live to tens of millions of TV viewers. Take a few minutes to prepare.

Josie's question was relatively simple.

She has always had good eating and fitness habits, so she has a relatively thin body. In addition, for the filming of the movie "I, Robot", she also specially did physical fitness and body training, but the movie star does not pursue HF models too much With my son's skinny figure, if I want to wear this skirt with the most perfect effect, I still need to urgently shape it for a period of time.

Under the spotlight, no matter how much effort you put in, you will get as much praise.

This may be the fairest side of the Hollywood Vanity Fair.

However, this year there should be no red carpet link on the Avenue of Stars that the public is looking forward to, because the US-Iraq war will soon break out. Compared with the red carpet link, Brent crude oil will obviously be more interesting.

"Aren't you going to wear it on the Oscars red carpet?" Thierry Muller heard that Josie's tone was wrong.

"I plan to collect this dress." Josie explained, "According to this year's situation, there may not be a red carpet."

"Okay. If it's you, I agree." Thierry Muller thought about it and nodded, "Your back, sternum and arms are beautiful, but the main problem is the waistline and underarms. We will Minor revisions."

His assistant was writing down the data belonging to Josie, and took out another airlifted classic dark red satin dress from the dust bag.

This one is much more comfortable.

Even if it is not so grand and amazing, even though its soft fabric is still supported by fish bones at the waist, even if its back slit almost reaches the waist.

"I'm starting to believe that strangling training suit you made for Susan Kevin wasn't intentional, Thierry."

Josie made a joke, and flicked the long feather tail of the skirt, and finally it was frozen in Thierry Muller's lens as a back full of feminine strength and beauty, which was included in his collection many years later. in the exhibition of the same name.

2002 12 Month 18 Day.

The Lord of the Rings series, which grossed $8.7 million before, ushered in the world premiere of the second part of the trilogy, "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers."

Due to the impact of the California earthquake, the box office of all theaters in the first week has decreased, but it is almost the same as everyone expected. "007: Die Another Day", or the sequel "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", which created a huge IP, or Daniel Day-Lewis and Leonardo DiCaprio co-starred "New York City", any blockbuster this holiday season will be defeated by "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers".

With a box office of more than 6000 million U.S. dollars in the first weekend, Hollywood professional box office forecasting agencies are already sure that the domestic box office of "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" will exceed the previous work's 3.1 million U.S. dollars, and it will be the last film in the trilogy "Lord of the Rings" : The Return of the King hit its peak when it was released.

Another crazy prediction is that "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" is likely to become the second film in film history to break 10 billion at the global box office after "Titanic".

But is it really crazy?

Not necessarily.

Even many Academy members have decided not to vote for "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" this year, because everyone knows that the last part of the series will sweep the next round of awards season, and even the Oscars have to be low. Proud head.

After all, the artistry and technological innovation of the Lord of the Rings series are obvious to all, and they have extraordinary significance to Hollywood.

Faced with such actual combat results, whether it is the group capital of Tianshen Entertainment, which represents the interests of all parties, or the members of Shirley Lansing who have just won the internal struggle, they all feel extremely exciting.

' She always wins and wins. '

This is already a truth recognized by Hollywood. Josie Horton is the illegitimate daughter of the goddess of movies, and she is the only and favored illegitimate daughter.

The only dissatisfaction may be Miramax and New Line Films who missed the Lord of the Rings series. They were once the entry players of this project, but due to various reasons, they finally let such an epoch-making work from Slipping away before my eyes, I became another medal on the ever-growing wall of achievements of Josie Horton and her Tianji Films.

Especially Miramax's Harvey Weinstein, he could have kept at least 3% of the Lord of the Rings trilogy film dividend rights for Miramax, but because the hell Michael Eisner agreed too hastily In order to buy out the copyright proposed by Tianji Films, Miramax not only missed tens of millions of dollars, but also became a laughing stock in the industry.

Oh, and Josie Horton's fans may not be satisfied.

Because this female star who occupies the position of one of the two heroines on the poster has far fewer appearances in "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" than they originally thought, but this does not prevent them from venting their feelings after "Stealing the Two Towers". The passion that was nowhere to be found after "Sky Trap 2", I walked into the cinema repeatedly for the less than 3-minute shot.

Who made this actress look incredible in Peter Jackson's lens?

Even if it's only 3 minutes, they still think it's worth the fare.

Shortly after "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers," another biopic "The Secret," starring Josie, opened in theaters around Los Angeles.

This film tells the true story of an Australian female equestrian who disguised herself as a man on the racetrack for half her life and finally retired safely:

Wilhelmina Smith was born in 1886. When she was very young, she became an orphan due to the death of her parents. Later, she was sent to a Western Australian orphanage and became the king of children in this orphanage.

This experience shaped her tenacious, open-minded and optimistic character as an adult, and also laid the foundation for her success in disguise as a man.

Leaving the orphanage at the age of 16, Wilhelmina came to the bustling North Queensland with the dream of a big city. After struggling to find a regular job, this thin girl with bright eyes cut off her long hair and put on chest, practiced hard in front of the mirror for a long time, and once again came to the owner of the racecourse who had rejected him.

And the middle-aged man Wilson, played by Kevin Costner, noticed the clue, but because he inadvertently recalled his daughter who died young, he only said to Wilhelmina, who was aliased "Bill" at the time: "Prove to I read."

The first cadenza belonging to Wilhelmina began.

This short, thin, but young and powerful young man has not received very professional training. He relied on helping the farm near the orphanage when he was young. Whether he is on a horse or riding a horse, his posture is very wild, but when "he" is riding on a horse In reality, the absolute self-confidence and indomitable belief make "him" extremely dazzling, and the short and thin body has become "his" advantage. "he" seems to be a miracle that should be born with this bowl of rice.

And after running a lap recklessly, Wilhelmina dismounted lightly and casually, and returned to Wilson with a smile that was almost scorching. The inadvertent intimacy with the horse still revealed that she was not satisfied. The familiar girlish posture does not contradict her more obvious sense of chic youth.

Wilson frowned slightly, not breaking her pretense, and finally said, "You got the job, kid."

Since then, the career of "Bill Smith" has officially started.

Of course, there is no shortage of hardships. In addition to the various hardships of formal equestrian training, the famous "Bill Smith" has also attracted the attention of his peers.

It started out as normal bullying.

Slowly, some people began to suspect that "Bill Smith", who never used the public relations locker room and was not manly enough, was a woman. They tried voyeurism and harassment, trying to tear off the clothes of "Bill Smith" in full view. However, she was beaten badly by this woman who had climbed up in the mud since she was a child, and even felt timid.

In this big and crucial race, "Bill Smith" did an exceptional job.

Wiping the blood on her face casually, she got on the horse under Wilson's faintly worried eyes, without hesitation.

In the close-up picture magnified by the screen, audiences outside the film can clearly see the eyes of Wilhelmina leaning over on horseback: as bright and tough as ever, but this time, there is more fierceness inspired by blood.

Changing from the light and elegant playing style of the past, "Bill Smith" has become extraordinarily fierce and aggressive, and this aggressive performance has completely aroused the enthusiasm of the audience. Bill Smith's opponents booed and cheered as the men were knocked off their horses, making the match more lively than ever.

"Bill Smith" was also the first one to cross the finish line.

No one dares to question the gender of "his" anymore, because it is absolutely impossible for a woman to do this, and even if there is, people are more willing to believe that "she" is actually a man.

The powerful results silenced everyone, this logic was ridiculously and reasonably reversed, and "his" supporters became more fanatical and firm.

It's just that when the officially rising young rider returned home and took off his disguise in front of his so-called wife, he still inevitably showed his vulnerable side.

"hiss--"

Wilhelmina, who was touched by the wound, gasped, and Penny, played by the British actor Sally Hawkins, softened her movements and asked, "You have already proved your strength, why don't you Do you want to continue competing in your real identity?"

"Good question, my dear." Wilhelmina endured the pain, the candlelight reflected in her eyes, "I never deny the excellence of myself and many women, but the fact is that once this layer of masculine camouflage is stripped off, , everything we have now will be unrecognizable.”

So, she has to perform even better.

At least in this disguised world, she is unquestionably strong.
