I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 377

[Chapter 374: The biggest enemy]

Near noon, Julia was busy preparing lunch in the kitchen with the maid. The phone rang. Julia shrank her neck subconsciously, and the big bowl that was stirring eggs in her hand almost fell.

In the past two days, she had a slight phobia of the phone ringing, because that night, Elizabeth not only rejected Eric’s request, but also hung up the phone before the man could finish speaking. I was apprehensive, worried that Eric would call her to ‘settlement’.

In fact, the next day, she wanted to take the initiative to call Eric many times and tell Eric that she didn’t want that role.

Although Eric is very hateful many times, Julia knows very well that she can have everything she has today in Hollywood, which is given by Eric. Eric just wants her to give up a role that is not too important. , this requirement is not at all excessive.

But a few days later, Julia has not called. Deep down, she is actually looking forward to Eric calling again and saying something nice to coax women… Well, this possibility is not too big. , and she is not used to it, Eric is more likely to reprimand her unreasonably, and then she will give up the role.

The phone rang five or six times in a row and no one answered. The maid next to her saw Julia standing blankly, mechanically stirring the eggs in the bowl with a mixer in her hand, and reminded aloud: “Roberts Miss, how many times has the phone rang?”

Julia came back to her senses, handed the stirred egg to the maid, and walked out of the kitchen: “Hey, Liz. Drew. The phone rang several times. Why didn’t you answer?”

She shouted, and looked into the side hall through the main living room. There were still a lot of scripts in it, but the two girls disappeared. Julia listened carefully. The voices of Elizabeth and Drew came, and the two might be playing badminton in the backyard, and Julia walked to an extension and picked up the microphone.

“Why did it take so long to answer? I’m outside your house. Open the door for me,” before the girl spoke, the familiar voice came from the microphone, simple and direct, no doubt.

“Ah, Eric, okay… okay, I’ll be right here,” Julia put down the phone in a panic and walked towards the door.

Open the door by hand.

The girl looked outside the villa and saw a black Chrysler car parked outside.

It looked very ordinary, but the girl recognized Eric in the driver’s seat at a glance.

The car slowly drove into the yard, Julia closed the door, and when she came back, she saw that Eric had parked the car and got out of the car.

“What are you doing, it took so long to answer the phone?” Eric asked casually, took out the briefcase from the car and stuffed it into the girl’s arms,

then turned over and went back to get the mobile phone.

Julia took the bag and explained, “I didn’t notice.”

“Oh,” Eric just asked casually, took the mobile phone, and closed the door before asking again, “Just you. People at home? Didn’t you mean Liz and Drew were here?”.

“They’re in the backyard,” Julia pointed to the back of the villa, and when Eric walked towards the villa holding the mobile phone, the girl hurriedly followed behind the man.

“It’s so fragrant, it seems that I arrived at the right time, just for lunch.”

The middle-aged maid named Mary heard the man’s voice, and looked curiously at the living room, but did not recognize Ai Rui for a while. Ke, he quickly withdrew his interest. As a servant of the star family, Mary received a high salary, but the employment agreement signed was also very harsh. Exorbitant claims.

Julia put the briefcase that Eric brought aside, did not sit down on the sofa with the man, and said a little cautiously, “I’ll call them.”

Seeing Julia appear, she took it up again. Elizabeth, who was serving Drew once, put down her badminton racket and said, “It’s time to eat, let’s not play, Julia, I still think we should turn this place into a tennis court.”

Julia did not argue with Elizabeth this time, saying : “Eric is here.”

Elizabeth asked uncertainly, “What?”

Drew had already dropped the tennis racket in his hand and ran towards the villa.

Elizabeth looked at Drew’s back and shrugged: “Okay, I understand, her master is here.”

Julia laughed and slapped Elizabeth and said, “Don’t keep saying that, be careful what you say. Drew heard it.”

“So what, maybe she’s happy,” Elizabeth said nonchalantly, then lowered her voice again: “Eric, how about that?”

“I… …I didn’t dare to look carefully, who knows if he was angry or not, anyway, you hung up the phone that day.”

“I’m doing it for you, can you be a little bit more responsible!” Elizabeth said in a tone of hatred.

It’s not to face Eric, so Julia immediately retorted: “If you’re not guilty, why ask this.”

“I’m not guilty, but… It’s just that guy is too hateful,” Elizabeth immediately retorted Dao, glanced at the villa, Drew’s figure had disappeared, Elizabeth immediately hugged Julia and kissed: “Baby, we must share the enemy and never give in, this is not a role problem, this relationship To the dignity of our women.”

Julia flinched from Elizabeth’s arms in a panic: “No, Eric is here, it would be bad for him to see.”

“It’s good for him to see, so he can Totally give up,” Elizabeth said.

The two women walked into the villa together and saw Drew muttering something beside Eric.

Seeing the two people coming in, Eric looked up and said, “Julia, let the maid take a holiday when lunch is ready. We have something to talk about, which is not suitable for outsiders to hear.”

Elizabeth was about to reflexively refute, but was caught Julia pulled up her sleeves.

“I’ll tell Mary later,” Julia said.

The lunch was ready quickly, and the maid obeyed Julia’s instructions and left the villa without any objection.

“I tell you, Eric. We will never give in this time.” On the table.

Elizabeth raised her chin and said to Eric with an oath.

Eric, who was cutting the steak, looked up at the girl sitting across from the dining table, with a wicked smirk at the corner of his mouth: “It’s okay, I’m very experienced in treating such minor problems of women’s dissatisfaction, just slap a few times on the buttocks. , I’ll start with you later, the first ten times are free.”

“You, you… If you dare to do this, I will call the police.” Elizabeth said immediately.

But Julia immediately recalled the situation that night, a faint numbness spread from her buttocks to her whole body, her cheeks quickly turned red, and even… there was some kind of inexplicable anticipation in her heart.

But this kind of expectation made Julia a little scared. The girl knew very well that this kind of emotion was absolutely abnormal, so she quickly said: “Eric, I won’t act in “Captain Hawk”, I will Call Kapoor in the afternoon to cancel the film contract, and give it to whoever you want.”

Eric raised his eyebrows at Elizabeth proudly.

Elizabeth slapped the tableware in her hand on the dining table and glared at Eric angrily.

He gave Julia another look of contempt, and stood up abruptly: “I’m full, you can eat slowly.” After the

girl finished speaking, except for the restaurant, she walked towards the second floor.

Julia thought that Eric had achieved the purpose of the trip and should leave after lunch, but the man did not act according to her wishes, until she and Drew cleaned the dishes together, Eric did not means to go.

Seeing the two women come out, Eric, who was watching TV in the living room, said: “Go and call Liz down, I have something to discuss with you.”

Julia just nodded, but Eric stood up: “Forget it, Let me go.”

“Eric, don’t… don’t bully Liz all the time,” Julia said weakly as she watched Eric go to the stairs.

Eric reluctantly made a reassuring gesture to Julia and walked up to the second floor. Because he had been here once, he already knew the distribution of the two people’s rooms. He walked to the door of the second bedroom on the left. Rick knocked twice, pushed open the door, and saw Elizabeth lying slantingly on the big bed, her head buried in the pillow in her arms.

“Liz, are you asleep?” Eric asked when he walked over to the girl and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Hearing Eric’s voice, Elizabeth turned over, hugged the white pillow to her chest and looked at Eric: “Hmph, bastard, I don’t want to talk to you.”

“Stop making trouble, go downstairs to have something to eat, I I have something to say,” Eric said seriously, pulling away the pillow that the girl was holding on his chest.

Elizabeth waved her arms, snatched the pillow childishly, and held it in her arms again: “Isn’t your purpose achieved, what else do you say?”

“Well, if it’s just about the character of “Captain Hawk”, I It’s another very important thing, just be obedient and follow me downstairs.”

“I’m in a bad mood today, I don’t want to listen,” Elizabeth said in a long voice, and turned her head again. Buried in the pillow and lying on the bed, the slender calf wrapped in jeans also kicked up and kicked twice, and threw the sandals on the feet to the floor.

Looking at the girl who seemed to be about to lie on the bed, Eric thought of the ostrich with his head buried in the sand. Then, Eric raised his hand with a smile and patted the girl’s little buttocks.

“Ah…”

Elizabeth screamed and jumped up.

“Have you read this book?”.

Eric persuaded Elizabeth to go downstairs. The three women and one man gathered in the living room. Eric took out a book from the briefcase and placed it in front of the three of them.

Elizabeth took the book in front of her and glanced at the title, “Dances with Wolves” by Michael Blake.

“I haven’t read it, what are you doing here with this book? Even if you want to get the copyright to make a movie, why bother looking for the three of us, I can tell you, this time we have to choose the script by ourselves, and we will never let you intervene. One cent,” Elizabeth’s tone was still a bit resentful, although she wanted to reach out and rub her butt that still hurts, but the girl was unwilling to show weakness in front of Eric.

Eric just smiled and explained: “This is a story about a lieutenant named Qiang Dunbar who was wounded and sent to the west to get along with the local Indians during the Civil War. You can take your time for the specific content. Take a good look at it, it’s very important to you.” The

three women turned their eyes to the book together, and Elizabeth said, “I didn’t understand, can you explain it a bit more?”.

“The thing is actually like this. This book was just a script at first. It was written in 1980. It seemed to be called “xx knight” at the time. I couldn’t find the exact name. Breg got the script in his hands, but Kevin Costner ran for several years without finding any investment from the production company. Until the previous year, Michael Breg, at the suggestion of Kevin Costner, wrote the original script into ” The novel “Dancing With Wolves”, because the novel sold well, finally a small production company was interested in investing in the film, but then failed to find a suitable director, Kevin Costner had to go into battle himself, since I directed this film. According to the information I collected, the film was completed last year. Because of Kevin Costner’s excellence, after the original 15 million investment was spent, the small production company refused to invest any more. , he himself had to pay 3 million US dollars to make up the money, and then the distribution of the film was not smooth. None of the seven major film companies was willing to release it. The production was completed at the end of last year, and only recently did the film find a distributor. , it’s Orion Films, you should know about this film company, right?”

Elizabeth nodded: “Yes, but why are you telling me this?”

“I’m expressing the fact to you that this film starts from the beginning of production. Up to now, it has been very undervalued, which is very beneficial to what you will do in the future.”

Elizabeth seemed to understand something: “So, do you like this movie?”

“Yes, but I’m late, the small company that made the film has signed a distribution deal with Orion, just over a month ago. Also, they plan to release it on a small scale by the end of the year. , take the Oscar-winning film route, expand its influence by winning awards, and then slowly recover the investment through theater release, video tape distribution, etc. This is the key point I want to say. According to the information I collected, this film The movie is a great threat to “The Silence of the Lambs”, you should know how discriminatory the Oscar is for horror films, as long as there is another choice, the Oscar will never award the award to a horror film.”

Elizabeth is still very much about “The Silence of the Lambs” Confident, hearing Eric say this, the girl wondered: “If this movie is as good as you said, why is no one willing to release it?”

“High-quality movies don’t necessarily get high box office. , you can find out by looking through the Oscar winner lists over the years, so it’s easy to understand that those film companies are reluctant to release. What I want to say is that Orion’s positioning of this film is to go to the Olympics, and according to According to this novel, the theme of the film should be the racial integration of whites and Native Americans. This kind of film is often favored by the taste of the Oscars, and Orion is also very amazing about the public relations Oscar, so if you don’t do something If anything, at the Oscars next year, this movie will definitely become the worst enemy of “The Silence of the Lambs”.” (To be continued…)
