For Jenny, she can even win "Chicago" Lockhee, "Pirates of the Caribbean" Elizabeth, a not so satisfied and liked "50 First Love" can not make her rise too much tension, in fact, the most important audition point for this kind of romantic comedy is to see if she and Adam have chemistry, if the two are incompatible and can't call, then even if it is barely launched, it is difficult for this play to be successful. If there are sparks between the two, then the important thing is the treatment, for the acting itself, the filmmaker and the director will not be too demanding, especially in "50 First Loves", there is no room for the heroine to play, no matter whether you are shallow or deep, it is not the same thing, if you can play Elizabeth, there will not be much problem in playing Lucy, the heroine of this film.
After returning to Los Angeles, Jenny still lived in the hotel temporarily, and was going to wait until the film contract was negotiated before renting a single-family house that was 'in line with status', although with the popularity of "Pirates of the Caribbean", the bank took the initiative to relax the loan limit to 1 million, but at 500,000 is about to bottom, and the budget of the second part of "Pirates of the Caribbean" will not start filming until 05, she still prefers to wait for her worth to be determined, and the performance contract is also signed, and then plan a large amount of expenses.
"Mary, do you think I can convince the director to add another line to the whole script?" The Nth time I read the script that was about to be torn, Jenny and Mary chatted - because she left her hometown and arrived in LA with her, Mary now has food and accommodation covered by her, and there will be a room for her in the house after that, and Jenny also uses these disguised benefits to subsidize Mary, who is completely overtime and low-paid work.
Due to the complete abandonment of her dream in the entertainment industry, Mary no longer dieted, with the eating habits of Americans, she only took a year to eat herself more than 20 pounds, and now her double chin is about to come out, but although this girl looks honest, she is clever enough to calm down, and she has not resigned after taking the low salary for so long, but is full of 'scheming', after Jenny confirmed the script, she found an opportunity to make a silent photocopy, and followed her to read it when she was fine, and now she will not be unable to pick up Jenny's words," How do you want to add it?"
"I want to add a line of Lucy's gradual improvement, so that whether her condition can improve becomes another suspense. Jenny is just a bit of a confusing idea now, but as her research deepens, she becomes more interested in the film, and with a little change, "50 First Loves" may become a better and more classic movie. "And I want not only to make Lucy return to the same point every day, of course she will keep coming back to this day, but can you make her feel different every time? From the perspective of the script, Lucy is like a robot, constantly reflecting Henry's changes, but I want to make Henry and Lucy change, to have a little Lucy gradually healed by love, what do you think?"
"I think it's very good. Mary said loyally, but after a moment's thought, she added, "But this has moved to the core structure of the play." "
"yes. Jenny sighed, "I don't know if the filmmaker will agree, but if it doesn't change like this, Lucy will be completely Henry's foil." "
She also has a worry, that is, from the perspective of the script, this is a film that does not have very high requirements for directors, according to Adam's tone, the filmmaker does not plan to find a director who is too big, but by Adam Sandler's buddy Peter. Siegel is directing, this is still his debut film, if it is a single-line narrative, he should still be able to hold such a simple story, but if he wants to add an additional narrative line on Lucy's side, then I don't know if the director can shoot it well, and I don't know how the filmmaker will react to her request. After all, she is still just a newcomer, although she has a certain popularity and box office, but she has not yet reached the point where she can dictate the script.
"Anyway, I'm going to give it a try. Jenny decided anyway, "I'll go to CAA tomorrow to talk to Chesa about the script, and you and Nissa can call to confirm the time." "
"Okay, you'll be fine tomorrow morning. Mary pulled out the PDA and confirmed, "I'm going to have a full body maintenance tomorrow afternoon, and Judy will let you go over and pick out some sponsored clothes with her and Julian." "
"OK. Jenny said that the trip was relatively easy for her. "If you go to Chesa tomorrow morning, give Judy the morning after tomorrow - Marie, do you think I'm fat. "
In recent months, Jenny has been eating too much, partying and scheduling, and even though she has been on a diet, it is inevitable that she will sometimes have to eat something high-calorie, and with few opportunities to exercise, she always feels that her arms are a little too round.
"I don't see it. Mary pinched her arm and jokingly said, "You're always too thin compared to me." "
Jenny ran to the mirror, looking left and right, her arms seemed to be a little round, and she immediately decided, "I'd better go to the gym tomorrow afternoon, by the way, remember to ask Judy to recommend a nutritionist and fitness trainer to me—"
"Didn't you say you would wait until you had a contract for the film?" asked Mary.
Jenny sighed, "Well, everything depends on how much money this Chesa can negotiate." "
She jumped up from the couch, "I'm going to the gym, are you coming, Mary?"
"I don't want to be compared to you. Mary wailed, "Leave me alone, Jane." "
"You said you want to start working out, let me push you. Jenny said confidently, "Come on, dear—"
"Shall I give Mr. Vijery a call? I'll be here in five minutes—" Mary made a dying face.
It turned out that Cesare was not available tomorrow morning, and changed the appointment the morning after tomorrow, and it happened that Lillian did not have a shift, so Jeanne simply asked her to take a large group of people to pick out the sponsorship clothes, she felt that she was now very star-like, there were five or six attendants in and out, and in order to avoid the paparazzi taking indecent photos such as blinking, she almost always wore sunglasses after stepping out of the house.
"I think this one suits you, my dear," Lillian is the one who likes to play cosplay the most, and today she was like a fish in water, she picked out a white shirt and gestured on Jenny, "Would you like to try it?"
Jenny was still thinking about it, Julian had already put Lilian's hand down, "Nah, this is too professional for her. "
Lilian held her hand and looked at Julian dramatically, making a painful expression, Julian also pursed her lips exaggeratedly, showing that she didn't care, Jenny almost laughed when she saw it, "What is this, the queen battle on campus?"
Lillian whispered loudly to Jenny, "I hate him. "
"I'll tell you a secret. Julian lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Me too." "
The three of them then laughed, and Julian motioned for Lillian to gesture at the white shirt over herself, "I think you're a good fit to wear this shirt, elegant, simple—"
Jenny said, "If you like it, just put it in." "
Although the rise is not long, but the momentum is very strong, plus has always been wearing first-line brand clothes, fashion taste is also highly praised, Chanel, Armani finally threw an olive branch to Jenny, but her level has not yet reached these first-line brands will directly give away clothes, as she chooses to wear, even look through the catalog to let people send to the door to try on can't do, at present can only go to the store to try on and choose, of course, this is the same as before even the big name sponsorship is taken Compared to the situation, her level has improved rapidly in a few months.
"No need. Lillian smiled and shook her head, "I'm one size bigger than you, so it's too conspicuous." "
Mingxing's friends can often get some luxury gifts, in this case of sponsorship is even more convenient, Jenny picks out an extra shirt, and then gives it directly to Lilian, no one will say anything, Chanel can not notice this kind of little thing, and there are some coats, handbags, shoes that can no longer be worn and used after a few times, in fact, they are the same as brand new, rather than putting dust, it is better to give it to someone who can wear it. Jenny's social circle is still relatively conservative and closed, if she likes to go to nightclubs, or the type who loves to socialize, Hollywood has a special celebrity sidefriend, whose status is between friends and followers, and it is not to ask you for money, but to enjoy these privileges and luxuries with you.
On Jenny's side, her clothes were still in the dust, and Lilian didn't want to take them—there was no woman who didn't like free hospitality, but she and Jenny didn't have the right size, and the shoe size was not right, but she had only taken a few bags, not to mention Mary, and now these gradually increasing luxury clothes also gave her a headache, and the hotel closet could no longer fit down, and if she wanted to rent a house, she decided to convert an entire room into her cloakroom.
Mary compared the white shirt to herself, and sighed as she pinched the fat off her face. "Well, I'm motivated to lose weight now. "
Jenny grinned, "The day you can wear number two, I'll give you this white shirt." "
"Are you sure there will still be sales at the counter?" asked Julian. "It's a blank check, isn't it?"
"I think we can go to the Outlets and look for it. Jenny said smartly. "What I'm afraid of is that until the outlets are sold out, Mary won't be able to reduce the balance. "
Everyone laughed, and even the clerk who accompanied him couldn't help but laugh, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed and happy. Jenny began to look down again on her new clothes for the season, and then Judy touched her shoulder.
"Bell. She whispered.
When Jenny straightened up, Jennifer Bell was already smiling and opening her arms to meet Lillian, "Lil, dear. "
Lilian also smiled politely, "Jennifer, I haven't seen you for a long time. "
The two exchanged affectionate veneers, and Jennifer Bell greeted Judy and Julian again, and then stroked her smooth blonde hair, "Ah, another Jennifer." "
The two blonde beauties with some similar looks hugged affectionately, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Bell." "
"Just call me Jennifer. Bell said with a smile on her face, "I thought you'd be in New York for a while — congratulations on winning the Tony Award." "
"Thank you. Jenny smiled back, "Congratulations on winning the Teen Choice Award again." "
This is an award that reflects her popularity, and Bale has won it twice since her debut, which is also one of her biggest reasons for entering the A-list: strong appeal from young audiences.
"That was last year, and I don't think I'll be able to win this award next year," Bell said, "and it's all for your Elizabeth." "
"I believe that after "Tales of the Night" is released, it will definitely not be Elizabeth's turn. Jenny was very polite to her.
Bale's smile deepened, "I hope that Tales of the Night can take advantage of the limelight of Pirates of the Caribbean and get a good first week, but I can't think of so much else for the time being." "
In Jenny's imagination, Jennifer Bell should be more Bitch than she is now, but even if she is really a Bitch, she does a good job on the surface, and the atmosphere is heated up in a few sentences, even if she deliberately keeps it rusty, it is difficult to end the conversation without being rude.
"It's certainly no problem. "I think it's going to be a classic, and I'm very confident in that—Judy, I think that's all for today." "
Judy took a few pieces of clothing to the clerk to register, and at the same time came over and enthusiastically joined the conversation, "I saw you last week on Dior Night, you and Georgia, you were so glorious that night. "
"If you tell Zoe that, she'll be happy to fly, but not in Julian's face. Bell gave Julian a playful look, "Really, Julian?"
Julian snorted and said sourly, "Actually, I don't have much of an opinion about Zoe. "
Everyone laughed, and Bell turned to Lillian again, "We haven't seen each other in a long time, Lil, we should find a time to have lunch together, do you think it's okay at noon today?"
"Sorry, I'll be going to work in a minute. Lilian said apologetically.
"Jennifer?"
"I'll have a business lunch later. Jenny said quickly, "Next time, maybe we should change the phone number." "
"Oh, yes, '50 First Loves' or 'Meet Polly'?" Bell asked, understandingly, holding his phone, "If it wasn't for 'Van Helsing,' maybe I'd take the next one, both scripts are interesting." "
Jenny certainly remembers "Van Helsing", as far as her vague memory goes, neither this film nor "Tales of the Night" did not do very well at the box office, and there was more sincerity in her smile, "I heard that it was a big production, congratulations." "
"To be honest, I thought they were going to invite you. Bell smiled and said, "Listen to Georgia, the global top brass is full of praise for you." You're a rising star, and as for me, I'm already an old man. "
"You're absolutely joking, dear. Jenny is experienced with this kind of hypocritical self-deprecation and mutual flattery, "If you can put it in fashion, what is Julia Roberts going to do? I think Van Helsing should get you into the 20 million club, right?"
"No, it's definitely not modest," Bell whispered as she leaned closer to whisper, "Universal's go-to heroine is indeed you, and they don't even think you need to audition." "
Jenny didn't hear it from Cesare, but instead of dancing to Bell's rhythm, she raised her eyebrows and asked politely and disinterestedly, "Really?"
"Of course, didn't Cesare tell you?" Bell asked, knocking her chin and shaking her head with a smile as she sighed, "An agent who is too authoritarian is always uncomfortable, isn't it?"
"For the sake of him being able to get 'Pirates of the Caribbean' for me, I can forgive him. Jenny said jokingly.
Bell laughed, "So—which of the two plays did you decide to take?"
Jenny smiled apologetically, "I haven't made up my mind yet." "
"Really?" Bell repeated Jenny's question in an exaggerated tone, and she suddenly folded her arms and looked at Jenny with a sharp and cold look in her eyes, "You don't want to tell me, do you?"
But before Jenny could answer, Bell laughed again, "It's just a joke, both scripts are good, I wish you success, if you have time, we must have dinner together." "
Without waiting for anyone to reply, she waved her hand and turned around to join her team, her figure swaying all the way.
"Definitely to show off that she received "Van Helsing". Judy whispered in Jenny's ear, "This is Universal's big production next year, and the budget will not be lower than that of "Pirates", which is said to be a super large investment of 200 million - but, don't listen to her nonsense just now, Universal's Georgia is fascinated by her, as long as she speaks, she has the position of this heroine at her fingertips." "
Although Hollywood claims that the casting is fair, it is also relative, and it is not uncommon for the male and female protagonists to be internally determined or bound to the script, of course, this is also because Jennifer Bell does have popularity and strength, so he will have such treatment.
"Is it just to show off Van Helsing?" Jenny was still a little unsure of Bell's intentions, "why do I think she wants to know which script I chose?"
"Is she going to snipe you?" Judy shook her head, "No way, Universal has given the green light to Van Helsing, filming is about to start, and Bell doesn't have time to make other films." "
For a masterpiece like "Van Helsing", the shooting time is often about four months, and this year Nebel will only have one more work.
"Well," Jenny thought she was suspicious, "maybe she had the intention of taking revenge on Lord Vejerry in addition to showing off Van Helsing." "
In fact, she was telling the truth. Lilian is pragmatic in this regard, "Sometimes Chesa's style is too alpha, and Bale has had several big conflicts with him because of his disagreement with Chesa on the selection of films. "
"If it's a lie, it can only make her a laughing stock. Jenny noted, "It's scary just because it's the truth." "
"And will you be alienated from Chesa by her?" Lillian winked at her.
Jenny laughed and said, "As long as he can bring me a good movie like 'Pirates.' "
However, she had to admit that she had a slight doubt about Cesare: Bell's words, true or false, of course, could not be fully believed, but "Van Helsing" intended to let her participate in the audition should be true, otherwise as she just said, Jeanne would go back to Cesare and become a laughing stock. Although she knew that "Van Helsing" might hit the street in the end, this is also a 200 million-level investment... Cesare really didn't even ask her, so he refused?
#
The audition for "50 First Loves" went very smoothly, as Jenny expected, this time there were not many separate auditions, she and Adam performed a rivalry scene off the script, and the audition team shouted "Cut" with satisfaction, and the producer, director and supervisors of the Screen Actors Guild were very satisfied, and she couldn't even find fault with it when she watched the video back. Under the proper position of the camera, she and Adam looked at each other affectionately, and then the scene of the two lips slowly meeting was particularly beautiful, although Adam was not a handsome guy, but also had a simple charm, under the background of his honest appearance, Jenny's face was more delicate, and the two formed a harmonious picture that was close to the people and eye-catching, and also made people look forward to the next kiss scene.
"For romance films, the most important thing is the kiss scene, and of course, the current between the two. Director Peter Siegel rubbed his hands together with joy, "You and Adam are a match made in heaven, Jennifer – I think we're pretty much settled." "
He glanced inquiringly at the producer, who nodded, "You're glamorous on camera, Jennifer, and if all goes well, you're our Lucy." "
As is customary, the next step will be a bargaining session, and the Colombian side will not offer Jenny an offer until she passes the audition.
Jeanne had already discussed with Cesare about changing the script, and since it was her idea, she took over the task of convincing the filmmakers from Cesare, knowing that adding a scene would make people feel that the actors were too arrogant, and if it was brought up through an agent, it might cause the filmmakers to have a greater misunderstanding.
"Actually—can I have lunch with you three boys? I have some other ideas about the script, and I might have to talk about it before the contract is signed. She smiled and begged with her hands folded, "Please?"
Producer Joey exchanged glances with Peter and Adam, "OK?"
At the luncheon, Jenny sells them her idea, "... If this line is added, Lucy's image will be fuller, and the audience will have more suspense to see the end... Of course, there may be some changes at the end, but I think it will make the whole movie a little sunny. "
To her surprise, neither the producer nor Adam was averse to her idea, and Peter initially approved of the idea, "You can make some changes to the script, of course, it will complicate the final cut, but I think it's okay to give it a try." "
In Hollywood, the script is the most dynamic part of the film industry, and now Jenny is far from the final draft, and the script will change at any time according to the ideas of the producers, actors and directors, and it will not be fully finalized until the eve of release. It's hard to be sure what the final product will look like until you even see the final release. For romance films like "50 First Loves", as long as the core idea of amnesia remains unchanged, it will not lose the support of Adam Sandler.
"Isn't Columbia going to have a script doctor too?" said Adam, "and we can try to add Jennifer's idea, and we'll see how it goes." "
Things were going fairly well, and Jenny was in a good mood, but when Joey took advantage of the good mood and tried to bargain, "What do you think of the 4.5 million offer?" she laughed and pushed the offending job to Cesare, "I'll have to ask my agent, I don't know anything about it." "
Joey let out a cry of regret, and Adam laughed, "Come on, Darling, this girl just won a Tony Award, and you're still trying to cut the offer? Even you're a little naïve." "
Obviously, Adam, Joey and Peter are all buddies, and this team should be dominated by Adam, judging from his attitude, Jenny thinks that it may not be a problem to talk about 6 million salary, after all, she won the Tony Award, didn't she?
After this lunch, she officially began a short period of vacation, except waiting for the two parties to agree on the contract, the only thing to do was to look around and prepare to register with CSULA. Although it is impossible to choose classes in the second half of the year, as long as you have a student status, your performance on "The Oprah Show" is not hype - of course, there is the eternal fitness, fitness, fitness.
Since the beginning of August, "Pirates of the Caribbean" has been hit by new films, and the decline has become larger, but even so, it has already swept the box office of 280 million in North America, and it is foreseeable that it will not be a problem to break through the 300 million mark before the end of the summer. Negotiations for a sequel are ongoing, the paparazzi gathered near the hotel are gradually dispersing, the heat about Jennifer Jefferson has begun to wane, and the PRs of both parties have begun to communicate, preparing for Josh and Jennifer's relationship to enter the exposure preparation stage.
"You'll find that having a boyfriend is good for you, darling. Judy said on the phone. And what makes everything better is that Josh seems to be the type who has a lot of worries beforehand and calms down when it comes to the end, and he rarely expresses his doubts about deceiving the public now, and it is much more natural when he eats with Jenny.
In hindsight, Jenny felt that she should have been alerted that good things never last, at least in her that this law never worked.
"There's bad news. One morning in mid-August, Cesare called, "We've been sniped — Jennifer Bell stole your 50 First Love 50 Times with a five-million offer." "
The author has something to say: Note: The script doctor is to ask a well-known screenwriter to check and revise the script or something, and a Hollywood project may change more than 10 screenwriters from creative to filming, and the script doctor is invited 2 or 3 times.
