章 19: Chapter 19: Cesare's Abilities
... She became a dog walker.
Yes, she became Cesare Viggeri's dog walker, the kind of person who was treated very well - Jeanne felt that her treatment should be the envy of all dog walkers in the world.
First of all, the average dog walker walks more than a dozen dogs, and at least five or six at least, but Jenny only walks one dog, and she gets the same salary as the average dog walker, maybe even more.
Secondly, her employer provided her with a car.
... Audi A8.
This car is a new model launched by Audi in 1999, in 2001 when there was no A8L, it is also a mainstream luxury car, Cesare used to send her home to drive this car, because Beverly Hills is a high-end community, the public transportation system is not developed, no car commuting is inconvenient, Cesare through Jim temporarily authorized this car to her to use, anyway, this month he is in Europe, and he can't use it.
Isn't there a second car to borrow?
The answer is yes, the second car is more expensive, which is the Bugatti Veyron 98 Limited Edition.
Well, anyway, both Jenny and Chen Zhen can drive, and Chen Zhen used to drive brands like Lamborghini and Lotus, and it is impossible for her to be ashamed of herself with an Audi A8.
So now she drives the A8 around every day, first going to the classes arranged by the CAA, taking acting classes, pronunciation classes and accent classes, body classes, and then walking the dog at Vijeri's house every afternoon, walking again after class in the evening, and then going home to sleep - in fact, Cesare made the decision to ask her to quit her job, and under such a class density, Jeanne cannot maintain a full-time job.
Even the job offered by Cesare at this time also had a strong sense of relief, and when Jeanne asked for compensation, Jim said, "Take as much as you get for your old job." "
It's fantastic, she makes more than $4,000 by slipping a dog twice a day, has an A8 to drive, and has money for gas — her happiness should be the envy of many Americans.
But it's not that Jenny's life is really easy, if anything, it's that she's more tired than before.
In the past, in a fast food restaurant, she was not laborious, and she was comfortable with that simple job, but now she is in class, and she has to listen and learn with full attention in every class, especially acting courses, this is not to say that you can pass with a high score if you have an acting space, and you are required to memorize lines quickly in acting classes. Improvisation, and a lot of small training are areas where the performing arts space can do nothing at all, the test is the basic skills, or the shaping is the basic skills, for Chen Zhen, her only advantage is that she has probably taken a similar course in her previous life, and it can't be said that she has no foundation.
So far, the only thing she has no pressure is the body class, after all, in her previous life, she relied on beauty to do things, and it is impossible to fall behind in this regard, plus she has a slender figure and a temperament that is not too vulgar, and the teacher of the body class is very satisfied with her, and has repeatedly taken her out as a model to show her classmates.
The pronunciation class was a struggle for Jenny, who spoke with a standard accent with only a few Southern accents, but it wasn't good enough for Cesare, and the goal of the pronunciation class was to correct Jenny into a pure aristocratic accent on the Upper East Side of New York. And then the accent class is from the Southern accent, Irish accent to the British accent, and the Chinese TV series that will strive to eliminate dialects in the future, the Western entertainment industry attaches great importance to pronunciation, if a person speaks with a pure American accent to play the British aristocracy, from the critics to the audience will regard this work as a joke.
Jenny felt even more tired every day than she was at work, and she was too lazy to cut her workout time to an hour, and then take her dog to run a few laps in the park when she walked her dog twice, which was considered to be the completion of the exercise. - Especially when she herself has been practicing her acting skills on her own in the performing arts space, she has to study for at least 20 hours a day, although she has enough sleep, but the sense of mental exhaustion and the emotional instability caused by long-term chronic hunger are still around her.
"Let's go, Washington. Jenny bent down to straighten her trouser legs, jumped up and down a few times, and then took the German Shepherd, who was panting with excitement, and walked out of the house. "Seriously, what kind of person would name their dog Washington?"
But to be honest, she didn't think Cesare was a dog man, she thought his home would be a cold, spotless postmodern decoration with no living creatures other than him. As it turned out, Cesare's home was a very orthodox American style of home and leisure, with a tank of tropical fish in addition to Washington. But his house is really spotless, the cleaner will come every morning to maintain the hygiene, by the way to feed Washington, and Jenny will also prepare dinner for him after walking the dog in the evening, Washington is very smart, and loves cleanliness, will not defecate outside, after eating will go to the yard to go to the toilet, she will clean up the toilet and leave.
After four laps around the community, about five kilometers, Washington was already panting with his tongue drooping, but his excitement was still high, and De Mu's IQ ranked fourth in all canine classes, equivalent to a five- or six-year-old child, and he already knew that Jenny usually ran about five laps at night.
But Jenny was so tired tonight that she hadn't slept well last night - the apartment had been out of service for three days, and today was another very busy and hard day.
"How about going home? Washington. She consulted with the dog.
Washington whimpered, and pitifully fired a dog light wave at her.
"Okay, okay. Jenny raised her hand in surrender and simply took it for two more laps, before returning home with a satisfied Washington, bringing out dinner and fresh water for it, "rest for five minutes before eating." "
She sat cross-legged on the floor, turned on the TV and browsed late-night programs at will, Washington feasted in the yard, and it usually took twenty minutes to half an hour to eat and go to the toilet, and Jenny would take this time, either to watch the news, or enter the entertainment space to exercise herself.
Tonight, she was really sleepy, just watched TV for a while, and when she leaned over, she was confused, thinking that she would take a nap and get up again when she heard Washington's shouts.
#
When Jenny woke up, it was already dawn, she sat up, the blanket slipped to her waist, and Washington barked twice in the yard.
"Oh, oh no, no, no. Jenny hurried to see the time, her first class was just over an hour away.
Counting the time spent driving and showering and changing, it was almost impossible for her to have a spare time for breakfast, which was great, hungry mornings, and it was exactly what she needed.
Jenny pushed the blanket away, got up and began to pack her things—and then suddenly it dawned on her: it wasn't a living room thing, at least she hadn't seen it on the couch before, and it couldn't have been ripped off and covered by herself.
She walked over to the back porch to see that the dog toilet in Washington was clean and had been replaced with new dog diapers.
Well, the cleaners usually come at 10 a.m., and it's 7:50 a.m. So did she meet a well-meaning pervert who covered her with a blanket and cleaned up the toilet for Washington after breaking into a house at night?
This is unlikely, Jenny went to the front window and looked around, and suddenly noticed that there was another car parked in the driveway in addition to Cesare's A8, a red BMW Mini cooper.
"Good morning. As if to clear her mind, the stairs rang and a young woman with brown hair in pajamas walked into the living room, "You're awake, great, I just called Jim, and he said you have morning class and you have to get up at 8 o'clock, and I want to call you." "
She held out her hand to Jenny, "I'm Lillian Svensson, Chesa's girlfriend, you're Jenny, aren't you?"
Jenny shook her hand, "Uh, I didn't know there were anyone else living in this house?"
"I've been working the night shift lately," Lillian said with a smile, and she was kind to Jenny. "I went to work in the afternoon and got off work in the early morning, so I haven't seen you all the time. When I came back last night, I saw that you slept soundly, so I didn't wake you up. If you want to take a shower, there is a guest room on the second floor, and there are disposable underwear at home, I am about the same height as you, you can put on my clothes first, and then change when you get home. "
In fact, considering that Jenny now drives her boyfriend's car and walks the dog for him, her boyfriend also pays more than the norm for it - and Jenny is so young and pretty... Lillian was a little unusually friendly.
"You know what—thank you, thank you really. Jenny said quickly, "I do need to take a shower and have some breakfast as soon as it's a short drive to school." Really, thank you. "
"It doesn't matter. Lilian's friendliness was reciprocated, and she smiled happily, "The guest room is the first room on the left hand side of the upstairs. "
Jenny turned and ran upstairs and took a good shower in the bathroom. When she came out, disposable underwear and outerwear were placed on the bed, and the smell of coffee came from downstairs.
"I'm not a good cook. When Jenny came downstairs, Lillian said to her, "This is the salad and mashed potatoes that I packed yesterday, and I boiled two more eggs, and some toast, milk, and orange juice—"
"That's hearty enough," Jenny looked at her watch, "thank you, I can sit down and eat slowly, and then I won't be late." "
"You're welcome. Lillian sat down across from her, "I've wanted to know you for a long time, and Chesa told me about you, and he said you had more potential than the other Jennifer - it's just that I've been too busy lately to find the time." "
The two chatted for a while, and Jenny knew that Lillian was an intern, she was the same age as Cesare, and she had just entered the hospital rotation this year, and she had recently been working in the middle shift, so her routine was not normal. And she and Cesare are family friends, having known each other since childhood. The two of them have been together for two years since they arrived in Los Angeles.
Lillian ... Once again, Jenny was a little surprised, although she was also beautiful, but she was only a civilian beauty, not a level that could be on camera, and, obviously, she was an approachable and good person. In Jenny's mind, Cesare's lover should be the image of Narcissa Malfoy in Harry Potter, towering and aloof... It should be a copy of Cesare anyway.
Of course, it was Jenny's luck that Lillian got along well, and they became acquainted with each other during a breakfast, and Lillian especially thanked Jenny for taking good care of Washington, "We've had other dog walkers, and Washington hasn't been so happy and fit as he was with you." "
Jenny also explains why she slept on the floor last night, and as soon as Lillian heard about her air conditioning system maintenance, she immediately asked Jenny to stay at the house. "There are a lot of empty rooms, and I always feel lonely when I am alone. You can stay until Cesare returns, and it's easier to get to classes from here. "
Jenny was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm, "Well, but I don't think Mr. Vijri will be pleased—I mean, it's his house after all—"
"This is my home too. Lillian said firmly, and she suddenly smiled, "No, this is actually my family, and my dad bought it for me when I came to Los Angeles to study." At best, Chesa is a roommate who is longer than you. "
Of course, she was clearly joking, and when it came to Cesare, Lillian's sweetness was obvious, and Jenny really didn't know how someone as lovely as she could get along so well with Cesare.
She didn't really want to live in Lilian's house, although the location was good, the decoration was good, and it was more comfortable, but after all, it felt like a host. But Lillian really insisted, and Jenny couldn't refuse too firmly, afraid that the relationship between the two would become awkward, she refused a few more times, and finally agreed to Lillian's invitation, stayed for two more nights, and left after the overhaul.
Jenny quickly regretted her decision after about three or four days, and found out that Lillian was indeed a charming roommate, and that she was afraid of loneliness because she was a caring mother.
The day after Jenny moved in, Lillian returned to her normal shift, with a schedule that was basically in sync with Jenny's, and she quickly figured out Jenny's eating habits and took good care of her. Having breakfast for a few days in a row, running and walking the dog together in the evening - Jenny is not an iron man, and of course she needs a friend in this lonely life of further study.
Eventually, at Lilian's urging, Lillian told her that Cesare wanted her to move in too, and Jenny promised to be 'obedient', she moved into Lillian's house semi-officially. Around this moment, Jim approached her, "Chesa has contacted you for an audition, and I'll send you the materials in a moment, this audition is a bit special, and you may need to do some specific preparation." "
"What movie?" asked Jenny.
Jim announced, "It's a musical film starring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Renee Zellweger, directed by Rob Marshall, based on the famous Broadway play Chicago. "
2003 Oscar for Best Picture... Jenny is a little dizzy: Last month, she had to rely on favors for a cameo role in a TV series, and this month, she had to audition for a future Oscar for Best Picture.
Damn, signed by Cesare Vijeri, was the best choice she ever made.
Note: 1 "Chicago" has received 13 Oscar nominations, and is the best picture of both the Oscars and Golden Globes, and is highly recommended.
2 It is quite normal for agents to provide jobs and residences for their unfamous artists, and to give some expensive intimate gifts, "Thor" Chris Hemsworth couldn't find a job when he first arrived in Hollywood, so he took classes to learn American accents (he is Australian, and the Australian accent is obvious), while earning some income for the agent to watch the children. Then he and his wife (the policewoman of Fast & Furious 5) met and fell in love during an accent class, and his wife is also an artist under the agent, and because she is Spanish, she also has to take accent classes.?
