"I don't need any bloody Josie Hortons for Pearl Harbor!"

There was a loud bang, and the mobile phone in his hand was smashed against the wall by the angry white man, and then all the items on the desk were swept to the ground in one breath, including a latest IBM notebook and a stack of thick forms , The snow-white paper was scattered all over the place.

Behind him, the Mexican who entered the door was helpless. He first closed the office door and closed the blinds to prevent prying eyes, then squatted down to pick up those budget sheets and timetables, and said, "Calm down, Michael, calm down!"

"How the hell am I calm?" Michael Bay was furious. "What do they mean now? Are they planning to replace me to pave the way for that damn bitch? It's ridiculous!"

"It's not that serious, Michael," his lieutenant urged, "Jerry's always got your back, hasn't he? The truth is, no one can really replace you. We all know you've put a lot into this project. Joe Ruth from Touchstone just wants you to bow your head and show off your gentlemanly demeanor."

Michael sneered: "Fucking gentleman, I doubt that bitch got under his table so much that he insisted on using her."

His deputy did not dare to answer this question.

As we all know, Josie Horton is currently the hottest actress in Hollywood. As long as the films she starred in bring huge returns, only the film company begs her to take the film. How can she please others?

What's more, the unspoken rule is to find a producer or director, and the senior officials of the film company may not be able to make the final decision on casting.

And obviously, the famous Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who has always worked closely with Michael Bay, also agreed to invite Josie Horton to play the heroine of "Pearl Harbor", just like Joe Ruth. Because the name "Josie Horton" represents the box office nowadays.

Who will do right with the dollar.

Besides, what Michael Bay lost was just a little bit of dignity—just a little bit.

According to the other members of the production team, the director will not be replaced easily, but the premise is that Michael Bay can humbly apologize for the unhappiness that happened, coax Josie Horton back to sign, or If Michael Bay is replaced, Josie Horton is really willing to sign...

Everything is for profit.

When the grumpy big-name director bullshit his fledgling co-stars and objectified young girls at will, he should have expected that someone higher and more powerful than himself might one day use Treat him in much the same way.

There was a moment of silence in the office.

About five or six minutes later, Michael Bay bent his honorable waist in a rare way, picked up a piece of paper from the ground, and said to himself: "The director is the soul creator of a movie, I don't know Let anyone ruin my movie. Collaborate? Apologize? Go home and play X! I'll figure it out, but not the way they want it."

Don't film companies just want gimmicks and blockbusters?

He'll give them plenty of news, and he'll give them an irresistible lead actress, like Gwyneth Paltrow, who will rekindle her romance with lead actor Ben Affleck.

The key to making things happen smoothly is to give Gwyneth Paltrow a reason why "Pearl Harbor" is not necessary-oh, that's too simple, everyone knows that she hates Josie Horton!

"Listen, Kenny——" Michael Bay quickly thought of a good way, "We have to find someone to release the gossip, saying that Josie Horton likes our script very much and is very interested in participating, but The only thing stopping her from signing was my presence and she wanted to kick me out..."

People in the city were constantly discussing Josie, but Josie was also complaining about other people to her manager, Martha Miller.

"Michael Bay is a purebred chauvin pig, and I will never have any cooperation with him in my life." She said angrily on the phone, "Look, I tried my best to climb from the bottom of the pyramid, In order to be able to reject them fearlessly like this one day, but they still think that I am playing hard to get, self-promotion? Oh, I can’t say something like that without a cerebral thrombosis in ten years! Those bastards!”

"Well, boss——" Martha usually doesn't laugh at this kind of time, unless she can't help it, "I understand what you mean, before I swear I didn't know what it would be like to arrange you to meet Bastard, this is my job error. But I have to say that, despite the chauvinistic pig offense, from my professional point of view, I would not recommend you to take "Pearl Harbor" because it will make Your way of acting is more homogeneous."

Josie's tone was still a little irritated, "Yes, I know, we've talked about this before. My biggest problem is that I mistakenly think that Harvey Weinstein or David Geffen are the worst big boys in Hollywood. Wicked, but the reality is that most men here have their own wonderful bad ways, and maybe one day I will need a cabinet to hide myself."

The reason why she agreed to the interview was that Joe Ruth personally called on the one hand, and on the other hand, Josie also wanted to meet the famous producer Jerry Bruckheimer, but who knew that she ran into a Pepsi commercial—oh Well, that's really her black history-the director Michael Bay who had cooperated with her during the filming, and their meeting again was as unpleasant as that cooperation.

Fortunately, this gave her an excellent reason to reject "Pearl Harbor", and blacked out Touchstone and Disney by the way.

"Since you can still joke, it means we can talk about business." Martha shook her head and laughed, and talked about business, "Fox has already given the green light to the project "Like Heaven" ("If It's True") , the first remuneration will arrive within three working days, and at the same time you will get a one-month experience course in the inpatient department of the New York University Medical Center. The specific time depends on the preparation progress of the film and your itinerary. But I I hope you remember to prepare your mask."

"Okay, I see." Josie said.

The first half of 1999 was extremely fulfilling. In addition to the Oscars recorded in history, the popularity of "The Trap" proved Josie's appeal as a box office actress. Next, her most important work this year It was promoting "Fight Club" and filming "Like Heaven."

And her campus life obviously didn't have much twists and turns.

In addition to preparing for the role of "Like Paradise", I went to class and wrote homework step by step, except that I met Aix when I went to Stern to attend an audit, and by the way, I arranged for the two people who had been thinking about the upcoming merger Vivendi-Universal's short-selling plan somehow spread rumors of a Wall Street upstart falling in love with a popular Hollywood actress, and tabloid reporters have already vowed to write that their engagement ring is Cartier.

Start with a picture, and the news depends entirely on editing.The imaginations of these tabloid journalists can be pretty scary.

"As for the ring, I personally prefer to choose Harry Winston." In a high-end restaurant in Manhattan, Ax said with a smile, "Or do you prefer Tiffany?"

Josie snorted lightly, instead of answering the question, she said, "You really are a New Yorker through and through."

——Harry Winston and Tiffany are both world-class jewelry brands founded in New York, USA.

"Of course," Ax said. "After I got rich, I bought the pizzeria I grew up with. I love this city."

"It is because of the existence of you people that Woody Allen will never worry about selling."

"Aha, then you're wrong, obviously I admire Martin Scorsese more." Ax picked up the cup and looked up at Josie who was sitting opposite, "Seriously, why don't we think about it? This proposal?"

"What suggestion?" Josie raised her eyebrows.

"About the engagement ring." Ax put down his glass, adjusted his sitting posture under Josie's playful gaze, and leaned forward: "Don't you think this is a brilliant idea?"

Josie smirked at him and replied, "I really don't think so. Listen, Ax, I don't want to complicate our relationship, and I'm offended by such behavior."

"Offended? Why." Ax was surprised.

Josie observed her partner's expression, and explained a few words patiently: "For example, if I were a man, would you discuss the topic of developing a further relationship with me? No, you wouldn't Will do."

Aix didn't speak, but it was obvious that Josie had guessed his thoughts completely.

"You will only treat today's dinner as a business meeting, not a date on the gossip papers." Josie continued in a calm tone while finishing the food slowly, "And I must remind you that you use Treat others the way they treat you. That's fair."

All of a sudden, a corner of the restaurant became quiet, only the graceful music played by the performers in the restaurant, and the pushing and changing of glasses of other people a little further away could be heard.

After a while, Aix smiled helplessly.

He made a begging gesture, and then said seriously: "I'm sure it's my fault, I'm sorry, Josie."

Perhaps Aix did have some thoughts about the beautiful lady in front of him, but this was not worth mentioning in front of the greatest interests. From this point of view, he was still very clear-headed.

"It's okay, I'm not going to forgive you anyway." Josie said confidently.

"Okay, okay." Aix became more and more helpless, "Then about our cooperation——"

"If you were worried about it a few minutes earlier, I don't think things would have developed like this." Josie took a sip of water, but did not plan to change her partner for the time being. "How about the investigation in Toronto?"

For their short-selling plan, it is the most convenient and quick way to make a fuss about the riddled Bronfman family. As early as a few months ago, Ax Capital, founded by Aix, set up a special team and sent people to In Toronto, Canada, the investigation focused on the relationship between the Bronfman family and the Nxivm, a prostitution organization.

Hearing Josie's serious question, Ax, who had been warned, couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and replied, "It's basically certain that Nxivm has sexually exploited some of its female members under the guise of courses. Seagram's heiress, Claire. Bronfman was a fan of Nxivm, and another of her sisters was involved, but their father, Edgar Bronfman, is said to have hated it - but apparently that doesn't change anything."

"Very good. Saving the world while making money has purely purified my mind that was occupied by Franklin." Josie twitched her lips.

However, Aix laughed a few times in admiration.

"Your sense of humor is incredible," he said.

"But your compliment seems a bit bad." Josie said bluntly, "The next time you smile, you can use a smaller smile, and it doesn't have to last too long. This will make you more sincere."

The dinner with Ax was a joy for the host and guests, at least Josie sprayed poisonous juice to her heart's content, and enjoyed the fun that usually belongs to Ernest Dawson and David Fincher.

However, the next day she received a double crit from David Fincher.
