Chapter 374: The biggest enemy
Near noon, Julia was busy with the maid in the kitchen to prepare lunch, the phone rang, and Julia subconsciously shrank her neck, and the big bowl that was stirring the eggs almost fell.
In the past two days, she got a slight phone ringing phobia, because Elizabeth not only refused Eric’s request that night, but also waited for the man to finish talking directly, causing the bell to ring every few days. For a while, I was worried that Eric would call her to find her.
In fact, from the second day, Julia had many times to take the initiative to call and tell Eric that she didn't want that role.
Although Eric is very abhorrent in many times, Julia knows very well that she can have everything in Hollywood today, which is given by Eric. Eric just wants her to give up a role that is not too important. This request is not excessive.
However, after a few days, Julia has never been beaten. In the depths of her heart, she is actually expecting Eric to take the initiative again and say two good words of a woman... well, this possibility is not too big. And she is not used to it, Eric is more likely to reprimand her two sentences, and then she will give up the role.
The phone rang five or six times and no one answered. The maid next to him saw Julia standing still in the same place, holding a blender in his hand and mechanically stirring the eggs in the bowl. He reminded him: "Roberts Miss, how many times does the phone ring?"
Julia came back and handed the smashed eggs to the maid's hands and walked out of the kitchen: "Hey, Liz. Drew, the phone rang a few times. Why don't you pick up?"
Shouted, through the main living room and looked into the hall, it was still a lot of scripts. However, the two girls disappeared, and Julia listened to her ears. The voices of Elizabeth and Drew came from outside the window. They might play badminton in the backyard. Julia came to an extension and picked it up. microphone.
"How come it takes so long? I am outside your home, please open the door for me." The girl has not spoken yet, and the familiar voice is heard in the microphone, which is straightforward and unquestionable.
"Ah, Eric. Ok... well, I will come here," Julia slammed down and slammed the door.
The door was opened by the hand, and the girl looked out of the villa door and saw a black Chrysler car parked outside. It was very ordinary, but the girl recognized Eric with sunglasses on the driver's seat at a glance.
The car slowly entered the yard. Julia closed the door and when she came back, she saw that Eric had parked the car and got off the bus.
"What are you doing, take the call after so long?" Eric asked casually. Take the briefcase from the car and put it in the girl's arms, then turn back and get the mobile phone.
Julia took over the bag and explained in her hand: "I didn't notice."
"Oh," Eric just asked casually, took the mobile phone, closed the door and asked: "Is you alone at home? Not that Liz and Drew are here?"
"They are in the backyard," Julia pointed to behind the villa. Watching Eric walked to the villa with his mobile phone, the girl quickly followed behind the man.
"It’s so sweet. It seems that I am very late, just a meal."
The middle-aged maid named Mary heard the voice of a man. Curiously, the probe looked at the living room, and I didn’t recognize Eric for a while. Soon I quickly shrank back. As a maid’s servant, Mary’s salary was not low, but the signed employment agreement was also very demanding. The most important thing is that you can't inquire or spread the employer's *, otherwise you will face a sky-high price claim.
Julia put Alice's briefcase aside and didn't sit down on the couch with the man. She was a little careful and said: "I will call them."
When she saw Julia appearing and then took over Drew’s serve, Elizabeth put down the badminton racket and said, “I have to eat, don’t fight, Julia, I still think we should change this to a tennis court. Badminton is fluttering. Nothing at all."
Julia did not argue with Elizabeth this time and said: "Eric is here."
Elizabeth asked indefinitely: "What?"
Drew has lost his tennis racket and ran towards the villa.
Elizabeth looked at Drew's back and shrugged: "Well, I understand, her master is coming."
Julia smirked and said, she said in Elizabeth: "Don't always say that, be careful to say that it was heard by Drew."
"How can I hear it, maybe she is still very happy," Elizabeth said, not swearing, and then lowered her voice: "Eric, that, how?"
"I... didn't dare to look carefully. Who knows if he is angry? Anyway, it was your call."
"I am for you, you are a little bit okay!" Elizabeth suddenly said with a hateful iron.
Not facing Eric, so Julia immediately replied: "If you are not guilty, why are you asking?"
"I don't feel guilty, just...just that guy is too odious," Elizabeth retorted immediately, looking at the villa, Drew's figure had disappeared, and Elizabeth immediately brought Julia to kiss her: "Baby Waiting for us to be with the enemy, we must not give in. This is not a question of character, it is related to the dignity of our women."
Julia flirted from Elizabeth's arms in a panic: "No, Eric can be here, it would be bad if he saw him."
"Let him see it, so he will completely die," Elizabeth said.
The two women walked into the villa together and saw Drew being tired of talking around Eric.
When I saw two people coming in, Eric looked up: "Julia, let the maid take a holiday when lunch is done. We have something to talk about and it is not suitable for outsiders to hear."
Elizabeth had just reflexively refuted, but Julia pulled the sleeves.
"I will wait with Mary," said Julia.
The lunch was done very quickly, and the maid listened to Julia's instructions and left the villa without any objection.
"I tell you, Eric. We will never give in this time," Elizabeth said as she leaned back to her chin and swears to Eric.
Eric, who is cutting the steak, looked up and looked at the girl sitting across the table. The corner of his mouth showed a smirk of evil. "It doesn't matter. I am very experienced in treating women who are not convinced of this small problem. Just slap on the butt." I will start from you later, and the top ten will be free."
"You, you... if you dare to do this, I will call the police," Elizabeth said immediately.
Julia immediately remembered the situation that night. A faint tingling sensation spread from the buttocks to the whole body, and the cheeks quickly became red, and even... there was some inexplicable expectation in my heart.
But this expectation has made Julia somewhat fearful, and the girl knows very well that this emotion is absolutely not normal. So she quickly said: "Eric, "Captain Hawke" I don't play, I called Kapoor in the afternoon to push the film down, who you want to give to whom."
Eric smugly raised an eyebrow at Elizabeth. Elizabeth took the tableware on the table and squinted Eric, and gave Julia a scornful look, and stood up suddenly: I am full. You can eat slowly."
After the girl finished, she went out to the second floor of the restaurant.
Julia thought that Eric had reached the goal of the trip and should leave after eating lunch. But the man did not act according to her wishes until she and Drew cleaned up the tableware, and Eric did not mean to go.
Seeing the two women coming out, Eric, who is watching TV in the living room, said: "Go and call Liz, I have something to discuss with you."
Julia just nodded, and Eric stood up: "Forget it. Or let me go."
"Eric, you don't... don't always bully Liz." Julia looked at Eric to the stairs and finally said weakly.
Eric reluctantly made a reassuring gesture to Julia. Going to the second floor, because I have been there once, he already knows the distribution of the two people's rooms. When he walks to the second bedroom door of the left turn, Eric knocks twice and pushes the door open. See Elizabeth's whole person. Slanting on the big bed, his head buried in the pillow of his arms.
"Liz, fell asleep?" Eric walked over to the girl and asked as he sat down on the bed.
Elizabeth, who heard Eric’s voice, turned over and held the white pillow on her chest and looked at Eric: “Hey, bastard, I don’t want to talk to you.”
"Don't make trouble, go downstairs to eat something, I have something to say," Eric pulled the girl's pillow on his chest and said seriously.
Elizabeth waved her arm and grabbed the pillow childishly, holding it in her arms again: "Is your purpose not already achieved? What else?"
"If it's just about the role of Captain Hawke, I won't come over. It's another very important thing. I am obedient and go downstairs with me."
"I don't feel good today, I don't want to hear it," Elizabeth said with a long voice. At the same time, she turned over again and buried her head in a pillow and squatted on the bed. The slender legs wrapped in jeans were lifted up and kicked twice. The sandals on the floor are on the floor.
Looking at the girl's appearance on the bed, Eric remembered the ostrich that buried his head in the sand. Then he raised his hand and smiled at the girl's hips.
"what……"
Elizabeth screamed and screamed.

“Have you seen this book?” Elizabeth ‘permitted’ to the floor, three women and a man gathered in the living room, Eric took a book from the briefcase and placed it in front of three people.
Elizabeth took the book to the front of the book, "Dance with the Wolf," by Michael Blake.
"I haven't seen it. What do you do with this book? Even if you want to get the copyright to make a movie, why bother to find us three? I can tell you, this time we have to choose the script ourselves, we will never let you intervene. One minute, "Elisabeth's tone is still somewhat hateful, although I really want to reach out and still have some painful ass, but the girl is not willing to show weakness in front of Eric.
Eric just smiled and explained: "This is a story about the time of the Civil War, when a lieutenant named Qiang Dunbar was sent to the west to be stationed with the local Indians. Take a good look at the time, the story is good, and it is very important to you."
The three women turned their eyes to the book, Elizabeth said: "I didn't understand, can you explain it?"
"This is actually the case. This book was originally a script. It was written in 1980. It was called "xx Knight" at the time. I didn't find the specific name. Later, Kevin Costner was from the author in 1986. Michael Brace got the script in his hands, but Kevin Costner rushed for a few years and didn't find a production company investment.
Until the year before, Michael Breg, at the suggestion of Kevin Costner, wrote the original script as "The Dance with the Wolf". Because the novel was sold well, finally a small production company was interested in investing. The film, but then no suitable director is willing to take over the film, Kevin Costner had to personally play, self-directed the film.
According to the information I collected, the film was completed last year. Because Kevin Costner’s excellence, after the original 15 million investment, the small production company refused to invest again. He had to掏3 million US dollars to make up the money, and then the release of the film is also very unsatisfactory, the seven major film companies have not been willing to take over the release of the work, completed from the end of last year, has been recently, the film found the issuer, is the Orion Industry, should you know this film company? ”
Elizabeth nodded. "Know, but what do you tell me about?"
"I am telling you the fact that this film has been very, very, and has not been optimistic since its inception, which is very beneficial to what you will do in the future."
Elizabeth seems to understand something: "So, are you optimistic about this movie?"
"Yes, but I am late, the small company that made the film has signed a deal with Orion, just over a month ago. And they plan to release it at the end of the year, go Oscar. The route, through the awards to expand the influence, and then through the theater release, video distribution, etc. to slowly recover the investment. This is the point I want to talk about, according to the information I collected, the film for "The Silence of the Lamb" The threat is great. You should know how much Oscar discriminates against horror movies. As long as there is another option, Oscar will never award the award to a horror film."
Elizabeth was very confident about Silent Lamb. When I heard Eric said, the girl wondered: "If this movie is so good as you said, why wouldn't anyone be willing to issue it?"
"High-quality films don't necessarily get a high box office. You know about the Oscar-winning winners of the year. A lot of them are issued by independent filmmakers, and many films are not released before they are released. Being optimistic, but after the release, it became a big winner of Oscar. Of course, counter-examples are everywhere, so those movie companies are not willing to issue them.
What I want to say is that Orion's positioning of this film is Okinawa. According to this novel, the theme of the film should be the ethnic integration of whites and Native Americans. This film is often tasted by Oscar. Favor, plus Orion is also very experienced in public relations Oscar, so if you don't do anything, this movie will definitely become the biggest enemy of Silent Lamb in Oscar next year.
