I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 40

[Chapter 40 The heroine in my heart]

Eric nodded and turned to Jeff: “Jeff, it’s like this, I’m going to hold a party at home tonight, and I want to ask a chef… and a waiter to help, so I thought of you here.

” Sending out cooks and waiters to set up parties is a lucrative business.

After listening to Jeff, he said happily: “No problem, let Vanessa and Cindy go.”

“The chef is fine with Vanessa. As for the waiter, let this lady go. Miss Julia , can you?”

Julia Roberts gave Jeff a hesitant look before nodding.

After confirming this matter, Eric chatted with Jeff casually, and wrote down the menu that he needed for the evening. He worked as a waiter in the restaurant, so he could write down a series of dish names without any introduction.

After writing the menu, Jeff took it and looked at it, got up and said to Julia Roberts, who was still standing beside him: “Julia, come and help me. Eric, wait a minute, it will be soon. ”

Eric nodded.

When they came to the back kitchen, Julia Roberts found that Jeff handed the receipt to a chef, and didn’t mean to help himself, and asked curiously, “Mr. Jeff, what do I need to do?” Jeff went

up and down Taking a look at Julia Roberts, this girl has nothing special except for a bigger mouth and a better figure, and she is even more curious.

“Julia, don’t you know that Mr. Eric?”

Julia was a little confused: “Mr. Jeff, I’m sure I haven’t seen him. I’ve only been in Los Angeles for a few months.”

Jeff didn’t bother .

Going around in circles with Julia Roberts: “You should know about Home Alone, right? He’s the young director who made Home Alone.

” The director’s photo of Home Alone is indeed very similar to the young man: “You mean…that…that.”

During this period of time, if anyone in North America has not heard of “Home Alone” and the young director who created miracles, they have just returned from Mars or have traveled to other planes.

“Yes, it’s him. When I was chatting just now, I mentioned that you are also an actor. Originally, Eric only planned to invite a chef, but later he added a waiter and appointed you to go.

” Julia Roberts, who has not received any film appointments for nearly a year, heard Jeff’s words, covered her mouth, and looked a little excited. She has participated in many auditions this year, all of which ended in failure.

No one can appreciate the importance of a chance better than her.

“So,” Jeff patted the girl on the shoulder: “Take a good grasp of it, girl. It is said that Eric will be shooting his new film soon, and maybe you can get a role in it.”

“Thank you for the reminder, Jeff. Sir.”

Jeff smiled and waved his hand, he was actually a little selfish.

After Eric became famous, he was dug up by the paparazzi because of his experience of working in his own restaurant, which made Jeff’s restaurant quite famous in this area, and the business was much better.

If there is another well-known actor, the business of the restaurant will definitely be improved.

…

“Mr. Eric, can I take your car?”

Eric just took out his key to start the car, thinking that Julia Roberts would be sitting in the cook’s van behind, but he didn’t expect to run to him .

“No problem, Miss Julia,

please.”

Taking a casual glance at the girl who got into the co-pilot wearing a seat belt, Julia had already changed out of the restaurant waiter’s outfit, and even put on light makeup again. , wearing a dark red coat on the upper body and a pair of light-colored jeans on the lower body, the taut fabric perfectly shows the slender legs. At this time, Julia Roberts was only 21 years old. An air of youthful invincibility.

“Do you know who I am?” Eric asked casually while holding the steering wheel.

Julia, who was thinking about how to strike up a conversation, nodded subconsciously: “Well, Mr. Jeff told me.”

“No wonder.” Eric chuckled lightly.

Julia asked curiously: “Mr. Eric, what’s the reason?”

“Miss Julia, you are hired by me for $10 an hour, but your attire doesn’t seem to be a waiter, but a little bit more. It

‘s like going to a party.”

“Ah,” Julia looked at her clothes. After she heard Jeff’s words, she just subconsciously wanted to make a good impression on the director, so she hurriedly changed her clothes: “Yes… I’m sorry, Mr. Eric, I… I can go back and change it back.”

Eric shook his head with a smile: “No, it’s not bad. I heard that you have a movie released in October?”

Uneasy, Julia Roberts replied quickly: “Yes, it’s called “Modern Cinderella”, it’s about the love story between three girls working in a bakery and her boyfriend. Now the box office has exceeded 10 million Dollars.”

Julia mentioned the box office of “Modern Cinderella”, her tone was a little smug, and her face fell instantly when she thought of the achievements of the young man’s film in front of her.

Although for a low-budget movie like “Modern Cinderella”, the box office of more than 10 million US dollars is already a small profit, but compared with “Home Alone”, which is still very popular now, it is also a small-cost movie. Not eligible to carry shoes.

“Ten million dollars is not bad,” said Eric, who hadn’t seen the movie and wasn’t very interested.

Just know that this movie is also Matt Damon’s film debut: “Jeff said you haven’t received an appointment for a year. It is estimated that after this movie, someone will definitely notice you.”

Mentioned Julia was a little resentful about this incident. After “Modern Cinderella” got a good box office, the agent who had been very indifferent to her saw her potential and joined her again, arranging some movie auditions for her. .

But Julia simply kicked out the agent who hadn’t gotten her a role all year before.

“Mr. Eric, I heard… I heard that you are about to shoot your next film?”

“There is only one idea now, the actors are undecided, and the script is not yet available.”

Eric nodded and made a little joke, and sighed in his heart that it was a coincidence that he was just about to shoot “Pretty Woman”, and the heroine of the previous life appeared in front of him.

To use or not to use, that is the question.

In fact, Eric’s favorite heroine is Sophie Marceau, an actress who can perfectly combine the two temperaments of innocence and sexiness. Except for Sophie Marceau, Eric really can’t think of the first time. two.

But now this French rose has not broken out of the European film circle where art is paramount, and it is not very famous in North America. Eric can only know if he will accept his invitation.

As for now, the reason for hiring Julia as a waiter, Eric is thinking about how to win Julia Roberts under his command.

After all, this past life was the first actress to enter the Hollywood 20 million salary club, a veritable Hollywood sister, and her strength is beyond doubt.

Thinking of this, Eric asked: “Julia, do you have a brokerage company now?”

Julia was overjoyed when she heard Eric’s question, and quickly said: “No, I was fired not long ago. My agent, it’s up to me for now.”

“That’s right,” Eric said, “So Julia, how about joining my agency?”

Heard Stewart from Barry Diller ·After Langkel signed with CAA, Eric had the idea of starting a brokerage company. He didn’t want to make the stars who made famous movies cheaper for others in the future, and finally negotiated conditions with himself.

I thought Eric was going to invite her to audition for the film. If that was the case, Julia would definitely agree without thinking.

But she didn’t expect to invite herself to join his agency, which made Julia a little cautious. She didn’t want to waste another year or even longer because of joining the wrong agency.

“Mr. Eric, I have no such plans for the time being. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com My former agency didn’t bring me a job for a whole year, so I now have to work in a restaurant to make a living.”

Eric said: “Don’t worry about this, Julia

, I can promise to arrange at least two movies for you in the next year, and we can write it into the contract.”

“Magnolia” was filmed next year in Columbia. Although he and Blunt Cohen were in a quarrel because of the gambling contract, it is still no problem to recommend an actress.

Colombia can’t be monolithic, it’s nothing more than an exchange of interests, and Eric is the most in need of chips.

Julia Roberts hesitated for a while and said, “Can I think about it, Mr. Eric?”

“Of course no problem.” Eric said casually, thought about it, and added: “Actually, my next movie is The heroine wants to invite French actress Sophie Marceau, and if she refuses, you still have a chance.”

Julia clenched her hand on her knee and pursed her lips tightly, obviously entangled in her heart. .

Her parents and brother are in the entertainment industry. Of course, Julia, who knows this industry very well, knows what it is like to be the heroine of Eric’s next movie.

The boy in “Home Alone” is now a bright spot.

However, it is precisely because her parents are in the circle that she knows that this industry is full of all kinds of deceptions. Eric’s words just now have nothing to do with promises, and are at most a bait.

If she is hot-headed and agrees to join Eric’s agency, Eric forgets about this sentence in a flash, and she can only cry without tears.
