[US Entertainment] Hollywood reverses life

"Are you feeling better now? I know you were a little nervous just now." Tom turned on the heater more, his brown hair was soft and messy, and it looked patchy from behind.

"I'm much better. I was really stressed just now. After all, not everyone in this world has the opportunity to sit and chat with Mr. Cruise face to face. So I often forget what I want to say." Joey tried to smile, but the pressure It's been a lot less, maybe it's dissolved in Tom's soft smile.

Tom raised his eyebrows and smiled smartly, "To be honest, I'm tired of hearing such words, but I'm still very happy to hear from your sweet mouth. I think a girl with courage like you should not be embarrassed by such things. "

Joey leaned on the sofa, and at this time his limbs relaxed a little because of the warm fireplace, and he said silently: "Courage? I also hope that I can have that quality."

"Why don't you? I think you have such a rare quality." Tom took a sip of beer and saluted her.

Joey smiled modestly, without echoing.

Tom walked to the sofa opposite her and sat down. The two of them were facing each other at a close distance. Joey looked at the idol he admired so truly. His face was friendly and handsome, and his eyes were fixed on Joey, " I heard that you have been embarrassed recently, and many people thought you would leave, but you continued to shoot "Juno", so I think you are very brave."

Joey wanted to bury his face, "I didn't expect Mr. Cruise to pay attention to the news of these entertainment sections..."

Tom leaned comfortably on the sofa with a relaxed expression, "No, Hughes told me."

"Hughes..." Joy was taken aback for a moment, a familiar but unfamiliar feeling surged in her heart, her voice suddenly became indifferent, "I didn't expect you to know him."

Tom shook the glass, and a thin layer of foam floated inside, "He was willing to give me funds privately, hoping that I would agree to invest in your movie, but I didn't agree."

Joey raised his head and looked straight into Tom's eyes, "It's a good thing you didn't agree, I don't need his help, thank you, Mr. Cruise."

Tom smiled, "Don't you think you're weird? Since you have the courage to face so many sexual and embarrassing situations, why don't you have the courage to face Hughes?"

Joey's fingers twitched slightly, and there was some bitterness in her mouth, but she concealed it well and smiled freely, "I don't match him, so it's good not to interfere with each other."

Tom didn't want to delve into the story behind her complicated tone, and changed the subject, "Juno is coming out next week. Are you confident in the box office? I think this may be your last chance."

"Really?" Joy pulled a smile on his lips, and responded obediently but a little bit unconvinced, "I think as long as I don't give up, there will be no last chance. But I am very impressed with "Juno" The box office will not be blindly confident."

"This is indeed a very warm movie, but the market's reaction is still unknown, after all, the audience's tastes are always changing. Moreover, this kind of subject matter is somewhat contrary to the mainstream concept, and the audience may not buy it." Then he turned to her slightly. He smiled reassuringly, "You have to be mentally prepared."

Joey was also a little embarrassed, "It's true... Kingfisher Pictures didn't have much publicity, after all, this is just an experimental small-budget independent film, and like many other low-budget works, the film company didn't pay much attention to it at the beginning. "

Tom smiled at her. "I hope you will succeed."

He really wanted her to succeed, as in countless inspirational movies, where the lost soul comes home with great achievement.This is what everyone is happy to see, and it is also the "American Dream" staged in many Hollywood movies.

As someone who is used to various scandals in Hollywood, overtly overtly overshadowed, overtly praised, and secretly oppressed, Joey's performance is a bit simple and straightforward, which also makes him have some expectations for "Juno".

However, Hollywood has always been a place where dreams are destroyed. In fact, he is not optimistic about Joey's future.

Yes, not optimistic about her.

In Hollywood, mere dreamers are usually ruined.

He was very curious, what kind of surprise would such a girl who got up from the mud bring him?

Will it fall into the mud pile of destruction again?

If she fell into the mud a second time, then she might be completely destroyed, and there would be no third time.

On the other side, Joey had another thing on his mind.

Hughes ever came to Tom Cruise for her business?

Unexpectedly, after breaking up, they still have some intersections. She thought that she would never hear this name again in this life.

Why did he do this?

He kept saying that he was completely disappointed in her, but secretly wanted to help her.

No, it can't be Joey, you can no longer have any illusions, your feelings for him have disappeared in the decades of the last life, this is something you know clearly in your heart.

But... Although the relationship is no longer love, it is unavoidable to be a little moved.

It turned out that he was not as cruel and ruthless as he was when they broke up.

Since this is the case, she has to work harder, and she has to prove to Hughes that the expectations he has given her over the years are not really destroyed by her.

Just when both of them were lost in their own thoughts, Jack Hansen's cough broke the deadlock.

As soon as he came in, he saw two people who were thinking about each other. He said awkwardly: "You two, what are you talking about?"

Tom immediately stood up, straightened his back and straightened his clothes, "Jack, it's just in time. This lady is looking for you. You can talk first, and I will come back to you later."

Then he nodded politely to Joey, who also smiled at him, "bye~"

After Tom left, Joey began to discuss the contract with Jack Hansen.

The first part of the buyout funds given by Kingfisher Films has been put in place, which means that it can finally be used to repay the mortgage to ease the crisis.

The affair was quickly over, and she left the hotel in a hurry.

Back home, Joey checked all the information of the 98 theaters where "Juno" will be released next week, but nothing came out.

They are all movie theaters in small towns in the countryside. Kingfisher Pictures really wasn't prepared to take any risks at the beginning. If "Juno" does not perform well, it will be released immediately, and there will be no loss.

Movie review sites such as imdb and Rotten Tomatoes have already set up pages for "Juno", but there are basically no reviews yet. After all, it is not a blockbuster movie, and it is impossible for people to look forward to it before the movie is released.

But viewers may not know that Joey Grant is under the alias vest.

"Who is Anne Jones?"

"Is this director a newcomer? It's another independent film? The directors of independent films are really flowing like water, and people can't remember the previous batch, and the next batch will come soon."

However, there are also those who are looking forward to "Juno", a movie about the works of losers, "I don't know this director, nor do I know any actors, but I am looking forward to it after watching the trailer."

"It's quite a new angle, take a look."

There were not many messages in total, and it was pulled to the end all at once.

Then she closed the page, staring at the "Juno" poster on the desktop again and staring blankly.

She had 7/8 movies, but none of them were satisfactory. At that time, her mind was not on the movie itself, and now it is really the first time that she is so nervous...

She didn't realize until now that she wanted to succeed!She really desperately wants to succeed, so badly!

She had tried the taste of success in her debut novel, and at that time, even the north wind was really proud.

This time, she still wants to succeed, very much.

Everyone has self-esteem, she pretends not to care about those attacks and abuse, but she can't ignore it in her heart, she doesn't want to be belittled and hurt like that again, she doesn't want to be synonymous with Hollywood's depravity, and she doesn't want to be a so-called abandoned woman from a wealthy family .

She just wants to break down people's conceptual barriers about race, birth, and failure, and climb steadily, step by step, to the top of Hollywood!
