Manhattan Reborn 1978

new York.

42 Eighth Avenue, at the intersection of Eighth Avenue and 660nd Street, Manhattan.

Zina Osevia Art Store.

In the living room on the second floor.

Zina put down a light pink flat-shoulder dress and teased her friend Jane Fonda with a smile.

"Since the movie "Coming Home" starring you and Jon Voight won the Golden Globe for Best Actor and Actor, it will definitely win the Oscar next month!"

"This is different..." Although Jane Fonda's eyes flashed with excitement and excitement, she did not admit it and shook her head.

"Haha~"

"What the Academy Academy judges like the most is the director of "Coming Home", Hal Ashby, who used an almost melodramatic line drawing technique to explore the damage caused by the Vietnam War to people in the country."

"It is not only true and objective, but also allows the audience to feel strong empathy from the dull plot."

"So this time the Oscar for Best Actor and Actor belongs to you!"

Jane Fonda heard that Xina was so confident in herself, she couldn't help but laughed, pulled her and teased.

"If "The Tonight Show" host Johnny Carson heard this, he would definitely say... you stole his line!"

"Hahaha~" The two of them sat next to each other and couldn't help laughing.

After a while.

Zina folded the long skirt and put it into the package, tilted her head to look at Jane Fonda, and tried to ask.

"Where's your husband?"

"Won't he accompany you to the recording of "The Tonight Show"?"

"He... has other things to do and doesn't have time to accompany me."

"Oh~"

Zina very keenly "captured" the trace of disappointment in her friend's expression, shook her head slightly and changed the topic.

"I heard that the host of the Oscars this time is Johnny Carson?"

"Well..." Jane Fonda knew that her friend was understanding her bad mood, so she forced a smile and nodded.

Xina hugged her friend's shoulders and said in a very relaxed tone.

"I heard that this time the Oscar organizing committee also invited Christopher Reeve, the actor of the movie "Superman", and Brooke Shields, the most controversial beautiful girl last year, to attend the awards ceremony as award guests?"

"Yeah~" Jane Fonda felt the "warmth" coming from Zina's body and subconsciously rested her head on her shoulder. After her emotions slowly stabilized, she whispered.

"I was also very surprised when I learned about the list of award guests~"

"Brooke Shields is only 14 years old this year. In order to prevent her from having problems on stage, the organizing committee specially arranged for veteran comedian George Burns to partner with her."

"George Burns?"

"Wow~"

"I saw on TV that at the 76 Academy Awards, he, who was already years old at the time, won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for the movie "Sunshine Boys."

"For him to win the award, I am really shocked and admired that he can persist in his love for movies."

Jane Fonda smiled and said: "How about you go to "The Tonight Show" with me?"

"Johnny Carson, if I meet you... I'm so looking forward to his reaction!"

"Hahaha~ Do you want me to take his job and make him embarrassed during the live broadcast of his show?"

"Hahaha~ That's right!"

Both women were amused by this funny fantasy and laughed again.

And amidst the laughter of the two people, a series of steady and powerful footsteps came from the direction of the stairs~

Zina immediately remembered that she had an appointment, patted her friend's arm and smiled: "Do you remember the last time I mentioned it... Do you want to make a guest appearance in the TV series?"

"Remember, why?"

"They are filming tonight, do you have time?"

"Uh...tonight? You don't have to let me read the script in advance?" Jane Fonda asked in surprise.

"No need~"

"You are just a temporary guest star. The script will be revised by the screenwriter and director on set. No problem!"

"All right.."

"Where is the filming location? I will go directly after dinner?"

Zina glanced at Rosenlow coming up from the stairs, pulled Jane Fonda and smiled.

"If you don't have a date for dinner, come with me~ and then I'll take you to the filming location."

"Ok!"

Jane Fonda took her coat and shopping bag, hugged Zina and whispered a few words, looked at the "wooden man" Rosenlot for a few times, and walked away with brisk steps~

After Rosenthal Sidrich watched Jane Fonda leave very politely, he looked at Zina with curiosity in his eyes and said nothing.

Zina smiled and invited him to sit down, and asked slightly jokingly: "She is Jane Fonda, my good friend."

"She once starred in a movie called Barbara, the Space Heroine. Have you seen it?"

"...I've seen it!" Rosenluo had a look of surprise on his face, sat down and nodded.

"Haha~" Zina smiled and stood up, walked to the window, returned to Rosenluo holding a wooden box, and said.

"Almost all the viewers who watched that movie were deeply impressed by Jane Fonda's bold nudity in the film."

"The audience didn't know that the director of that film was actually Jane Fonda's ex-husband!"

"She is willing to perform those nude scenes without a stuntman, not for the ghost art that her ex-husband said, but simply to please her husband."

"But what's even more ridiculous is that after they divorced, that bastard told the media that Jane Fonda only participated in the show for art and because she liked female characters. It had nothing to do with him."

With a sneer on her lips, Zina sat across from Rosenthal and sighed: "But people are not willing to tell who is lying between Jane Fonda and her ex-husband~"

"They only want to see gossip and gossip to satisfy their curiosity."

Rosenlow picked up the exquisite album in the wooden box, flipped through a few pages, and then suddenly said.

"We bought those works of art!"

"..good!"

After Zina heard Rosenluo's words, she was stunned for a few seconds and immediately asked excitedly.

"I have stored those works of art in the bank and can be traded at any time."

"Your payment method, is...?"

"cash."

"Can't you make a bank transfer?"

Rosenlow put down the album in his hand, looked at Zina and shook his head slowly: "No."

"..." Xina raised her hand to cover her forehead, feeling that she had asked a stupid question, and sneered.

"Okay, but I need to make a call to confirm before I can give you an answer."

"Please~" Rosenluo waved his hand to Zina, lowered his head and continued to look through the album.

Zina took a deep breath, stood up and walked to the phone, picked up the phone and dialed.
