I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 67
[Chapter 66 Flowers are too fragrant]
After the footage of Al Pacino pretending to drive a Lamborghini Goblin out of a party, the day’s shooting schedule is all over.
The crew also worked nearly eight hours.
As long as this progress can be maintained, Eric believes that the film production can be completely completed within four weeks.
Therefore, although he himself still has plenty of energy, he did not ask the crew to work overtime.
In Europe and the United States, overtime is a very serious issue.
If you make Europeans work overtime, it is basically impossible. In order to restrict companies from allowing employees to work overtime, some countries deliberately levy high overtime taxes.
When you make Americans work overtime, not only do you have to provide satisfactory allowances and sabbatical plans, but you also have to deal with the questioning and investigations that the union may generate because of this.
The setting of the villa was originally a party. According to Eric’s original idea, after the shooting was completed, the real start-up banquet began here.
In the melodious and soothing sound of music, several beauties dared to strike up a conversation with him. Eric sat on the sofa in the corner, chatting with Jeffrey about the next shooting plan, occasionally glanced at the dance floor from the corner of his eyes, his eyes were There was a slight pause between Julia and Al Pacino, who were together.
Julia had long since quit her job as a waiter in Jeff’s restaurant, and received part of the advance payment. Now she has rented an apartment in Beverly Hills and moved in according to Eric’s instructions.
Although she didn’t have her part in the scene today, Julia still took the initiative to appear on the set, helping to do things within her power from time to time, and taking time off she would also have a few lines with Al Pacino.
Eric was quite satisfied with Julia’s attitude. Except for a female assistant assigned by the agency for Julia, Julia did not receive any preferential treatment in the crew.
In fact, even Al Pacino didn’t have any special treatment. When he joined the team, he drove his own car. After finishing his work, he also went back to his home to rest.
To save money, the crew only rented a trailer for the actors to make up and change.
Of course, this happens only once.
Eric believes that the two will not be treated so ‘simple’ when their next film is made.
Jeffrey, who was chatting with Eric, quickly followed Eric’s line of sight and found the focus of his gaze.
“What’s the matter, Eric, aren’t you jealous?” Jeffrey leaned over slightly with a teasing tone. He knew exactly what happened between Eric and Julia.
Eric shook his head calmly, but after all, he and Julia had a skin-to-skin relationship. Seeing Julia and Al on the dance floor looking like you and me, there is no such thing as a snack in my heart, right? possible.
However, Eric has no plans to take Julia as his own, and big-mouthed beauties are not his thing.
As a senior member of the Appearance Association, Eric has not yet reached the standard of beauty in his mind.
“I’m just observing how Julia and Al get along.” Eric made a random excuse: “It seems that after a week of running-in, they have already entered the drama. Look, do the two have a kind of It feels very harmonious?”
Jeffrey heard Eric’s words and followed it, and on the dance floor, Julia and Al Pacino whispered a few words from time to time, and looked at each other with a bit of affection.
“Indeed, Eric, do you think Julia will fall in love with Al after making this movie?”
“It’s very possible,” Eric recalled Julia’s affectionate and sensitive personality. He replied: “But Al will definitely not accept Julia. His girlfriend is pregnant.”
Al Pacino is also a playboy,
and his methods are quite clever. Several women bore him children.
If it was before, Al might have started a relationship with Julia.
But this is unlikely to happen now, Al Pacino is at a critical moment in his comeback, and his girlfriend’s pregnancy is not a secret.
If there is a romance with Julia at this time, abandoning his pregnant girlfriend will deal a considerable blow to his image.
Julia might not have felt it if Eric just watched inadvertently.
Now Eric and Jeffrey looked over together, and they kept judging their opinions.
Julia couldn’t find it anymore, it was just pretending, and Al Pacino also noticed the eyes of Eric and Jeffrey, and gave them a smile with grace.
Julia, who was in Al’s arms, was inexplicably uneasy. Once her mood was destroyed, it would be difficult to continue.
After whispering a few words with Al, Julia left the dance floor and walked towards Eric.
Al Pacino on the dance floor shrugged indifferently, and soon found another beautiful female partner.
“Julia, why don’t you dance?” Eric asked curiously when he saw Julia sitting beside him.
“It’s just that I’m a little tired.” Julia took a glass of champagne and sat down on the sofa, leaned on Eric casually, and asked, “What were you talking about?”
Jeffrey answered first with a smile. : “I just made a bet with Eric that you will fall in love with Al after the filming is finished.”
“Ah, how can you… how can this be?” Julia’s voice was filled with anger and disappointment in her eyes. But in a flash.
Eric quickly interrupted Jeffrey’s nonsense and said: “Julia, don’t listen to Jeffrey’s nonsense, we are not so boring. Just seeing the scene when you and Al dance, we think that the next The filming will go well, you two are obviously already in the movie.”
Julia sighed, took a sip of champagne, and asked, “Eric, are you… going to dance?”
Eric lifted his shirt .
Xiu looked at his watch and refused, “No, I’ll be leaving soon.”
“Why don’t you play for a while? It’s absolutely impossible to relax like this for a while.” Jeffrey insisted.
Eric stood up and said with a smile: “Today, the TV series that Jenny participated in started on the first day, and she called from New York specifically to let me not forget to watch it. The time is almost up.”
Jeffrey heard Eric say For this reason, I couldn’t help but ridicule a few words, but then got up.
Some other sharp-eyed people noticed that Eric might be leaving, and came over.
At the entrance of the villa, Eric said to Jeffrey and others who had sent him off: “Go back, Jeffrey, don’t let them play too late, be careful to delay tomorrow’s shooting.”
“Don’t worry, I will watch. ”
Eric waved his hand and walked to the parking lot. Julia in the crowd hesitated and followed.
“Julia, is something wrong?” Eric just opened the door and saw Julia walking over.
“Eric, I haven’t had time to buy a car, can you give me a ride?”
Eric smiled: “Of course there is no problem.” The
car was driving smoothly on the road, and Eric casually found a topic: ” Julia, how do you feel about Al?”
Julia lowered her head slightly, glanced at Eric, and thought about the wording: “Mr. Al Pacino is very personable and very talkative, which will make people involuntarily have a good impression. . However, I don’t have too many feelings for him in terms of men and women. Mr. Pacino is more than 20 years older than me.”
Eric smiled: “Al will be very sad to hear your evaluation. You don’t like it. Older men, Alko likes young and beautiful girls.”
“Do you think I’m beautiful?”
Eric nodded without hesitation: “In Western people’s concept, you are a standard beauty. ”
Although Julia felt that Eric’s words were strange, there was still some joy on her face.
After a brief pause, Julia summoned her courage and asked, “Eric, is your current girlfriend that Jennifer Aniston?”
“Yeah, we’re shooting Seventeen Again. I’ve
known you since,” Eric said, remembering something, and smiled: “Jenny also knows you.”
“Impossible, I only saw her in the newspaper, that time…” Speaking of the absurdity of that night, Julia was a little embarrassed.
But Eric didn’t take it too seriously: “She knew you that time too, speaking of it…” Aniston’s tantrums appeared in his mind, Eric smiled: “That shirt Jenny also wore it, by the way, do you still keep it, can you return it to me later?”
“No problem.” Julia nodded subconsciously.
The car stopped in front of Julia’s newly rented apartment, the girl got out of the car, looked at the empty streets on both sides, and asked with some anticipation: “Eric, do you want to come in for a cup of coffee first, this time around No paparazzi.”
Eric stuck out the car window and refused: “Forget it, I have to go back quickly and just wait here.”
“Alright then,” Julia took out the key to open the door and glanced back. , Eric still had no intention of getting out of the car, so he had to enter the house alone.
Coming to the bedroom, Julia opened the closet, took out the clean white shirt that had been washed, put it in front of her subconsciously and smelled it, then silently folded it in her arms, and walked to the bedroom door.
Remembering what Eric just said, UU reading www.sonicmtl.
The com girl’s footsteps became more and more hesitant, and she could no longer suppress the little jealousy in her heart. She put the shirt back in the closet, and found two pieces of her own clothes to cover it with a guilty conscience.
Taking a few deep breaths, he walked out of the room.
“Eric, I’m sorry, I forgot where I put that shirt, will I return it to you when I find it?”
Eric stared at the girl for two seconds and sighed: “Okay, I’m really looking for it. Do
n’t forget it.”
Just as he was about to roll up the car window and leave, Eric stuck his head out after thinking for a while, and said, “Julia, I can guarantee that after “Pretty Woman” is released, you will become one of the many people in the world. An eye-catching Hollywood superstar. At that time, countless men will treat you as a dream lover, and there will be countless excellent men chasing you, so…” Eric hesitated for a while, but still didn’t say it too straight. Bai: “Play well, don’t let me down.”
Julia bit her lip, blinked a few times quickly, and revealed a forced smile: “Don’t worry, Director Williams, I will do my best. ”
Then… see you tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow,” the girl raised her hand and beckoned, watching Eric start the car, disappearing all the way to the end of the street.
Looking at Julia’s standing figure in the rearview mirror, Eric sighed softly, tapped the steering wheel with his index finger, and a few words in Chinese that had forgotten the tune came out of his mouth: “Wandering around the world, it is hard to hide elegance, I don’t just love flowers for infatuation, flowers are too fragrant, and flowers are in the wind丨Flowers are dead and flowers are impermanent, and they walk freely, without a bit…”
He stopped after humming the last word, and Eric shook his head and laughed at himself: “How hypocritical, how is that possible?”
