Chapter 568: Encounter
Chapter 568
In the luxurious suite on the top floor of the Hyatt Hotel, on the morning of the new day, Eric sat on the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at his manuscript of "The Little Devil" last night. He couldn’t help but feel a little emotion. He still remembers that. It’s been five years since the old-fashioned typewriter knocked down the script before it was full of enthusiasm. 》. 》
After a burst of water in the bathroom, Hu Kaili walked out in a simple bathrobe, staring curiously at Eric's back for a moment, couldn't help but get together, thick next to Eric. Sitting on the carpet, he squatted on the man's knee and looked at the script in Eric's hand.
Eric glanced at the woman's posture at this time, reaching out and touching the delicate face of the girl, and asked, "Have you been to Japan?"
Hu Kaili licked her head and put her face on Eric’s palm and said: “I have been with my good friend six years ago.”
Eric felt the memories and yearnings in Hu Kaili's tone, saying: "It seems that you have a good impression of Japan."
The woman’s mind is always very keen. Hu Kaili can hear the coldness in Eric’s tone and say, “Alright, they are... very polite.”
"Go to the clothes, let's have breakfast together," Eric did not continue to talk about the interest of this topic, pinching the delicate chin of the woman.
Hu Kaili’s movement appeared a little hesitant. From last night to the present, it happened, but Eric never mentioned the role again. She was worried about eating breakfast for a while, and Eric would directly open her. go away.
Seeing that Hu Kaili did not move, Eric guessed the girl's mind and took a private card from her pocket and handed it to Hu Kaili. "Resident Evil will probably start preparations next year. You have more than four months of preparation time." When the project is under preparation next year, I will arrange an interview for you personally. If your performance can meet my requirements, I will give you the role of Ada Wang. So, take advantage of this time and try to figure out more. Take a look at the character of the character. In addition, it is best to report a short-term performance class."
Hu Kaili took Eric's business card and asked a little embarrassedly: "So... if my performance can't meet your requirements?"
"If Ada Wang plays well, it will be very good. Just like the role of Brooke. Shields in "Dark War" a few years ago, it only takes a few minutes to play, but it can leave a non-parametric impression on the audience. But if your performance is not up to standard, it will not only ruin the film, but also help your personal acting career. However, even if you can't pass the audition, I can help you arrange other opportunities."
When Hu Kaili heard Eric’s lack of any promise, the disappointing expression that was difficult to conceal immediately appeared on her face.
Eric dissatisfiedly provoked the girl's chin: "Do you think of me as the last director who used to lie to the woman to go to bed and then turn his face and refuse to accept it?"
"Mr. Williams, I don't have it," Hu Kaili's eyes flashed a little.
"It doesn't matter. Since last night your agent arranged to let you approach me, then you will tell me the other words, I think he will definitely understand what I mean by those words. If he also No. Then take the business card in your hand to find uta, change another agent, they will know what to do when they see my business card."
"Well, I know," Hu Kaili evaded Eric's gaze and whispered.
Eric’s finger slid down and untied Hu Kaili’s loose bathrobe to admire the girl’s exquisite body. Undoubtedly, “Now, wear clothes.”
......
Hell's Kitchen District in central Manhattan. A large container truck was parked outside an old-fashioned house next to the street, surrounded by photographic equipment. Here is the shooting scene of "killing the hand".
When Eric arrived from the Hyatt Hotel, the crew was filming. At this time, Lucy Besson, who was not a good man, was a little guy and a female actor. Eric did not mean to intervene at all, just quietly standing next to him watching the passers-by.
Lolita is no longer the Lolita.
Although the actor is still Jean Renault, the heroine in front of her is replaced by a 16-year-old girl named Melissa Greent.
However, this heroine is not as precocious as many American girls. It is a small one, and it is only one meter five, giving a feeling of stunting. Although Luc Besson did not activate the original Lolita, the actor found still gave a feeling of Lolita and Lolita.
Today is the third day of the shoot, the big villain Gary Oldman has not yet entered the group, and the filming is just the classic dialogue scene when Matilda and Lyon meet at the stairs.
The shooting of this shot was very smooth, just a simple ng five or six, it passed.
The performance of the girl named Melissa Greene is different from the Natalie Portman style in her memory, but her acting is not inferior to her. But she plays Matilda with a burning cigarette. Asking about Lyon’s life is only painful in childhood, or when it has been painful, the girl’s fascination of the heroine’s loss of puberty, and the fascination of life in this life, let the onlooker Eric can’t help but secretly Appreciate.
Perhaps, Hollywood is really like this, no one can not be replaced.
Without the 12-year-old Lolita, there will be less controversy in the future, and it may be possible to break through the limitations of the original time and space. It is also possible to get a few Oscar nominations.
At noon, a group of masters selected a nearby restaurant to invite Eric to eat. The 16-year-old pseudo-Loli also chatted with Eric about her views on the role of Matilda. Eric and Luc Besson also talked about some issues related to the creation of scripts. Eric also revealed some of the styles of the style of "Hurricane Rescue" to Luc Besson. Luc Besson originally I am very good at the creation of this type of film. It can be said that "killing the hand" is completely a different kind of work in Luc Besson's works. When the two meet each other, Luce Besson immediately said that he would follow Eric's ideas as soon as possible. Create a script to come out.
The afternoon filming was just beginning very smoothly, but after more than an hour, it was discovered that Melissa Greene was always frowning during the filming.
Melissa Greene also said that there was nothing, maybe something that was not clean at noon, but in the process of climbing the stairs, Melissa Greene had a soft leg. Rolled down the ladder.
The entire crew was in turmoil. The doctor arrived in more than ten minutes and checked it. The problem was not serious. Just acute appendicitis.
While the crew was relieved, it quickly became difficult.
Because the news came from the hospital quickly, the girl needed surgery immediately. Although appendicitis surgery does not take too long, it may not be possible to follow up for a week or two. The crew who burned money every day could not wait for a heroine for two weeks.
The only thing that is gratifying is that the crew only turned on for three days. The loss is small and the actress can be changed immediately.
Although he was very sympathetic to a fake loli, Eric was slightly excited. He originally intended to return to East Hampton. In this case, he took the initiative to watch the videotape of the actress.
Luc Besson did not object, and everyone returned to the hotel where the crew was staying. The deputy director quickly found all the audition videos of the girls who participated in the last few auditions.
There were forty or fifty actor with videotape records, and Eric looked forward to turning all the tapes to the side, but did not find any girl named Natalie Portman.
Then Eric will have no interest and continue to watch. Soon Luke Besson gave a speech.
......
On the road back to East Hampton, the bodyguard and driver who had followed Eric for several years, Carter Moen passed the rearview mirror and saw Eric's expression. He actively asked: "Boss, are you in a bad mood?" ”
Eric shook his head: "Occasionally, a few days will feel a little depressed."
Carter made a joke: "Is every month?"
"fak lure!"
"Ha ha..."
After being beaten by Carter, Eric also eased and stopped tangling these small things. He picked up the "Little Ghost" script that was placed around him and continued to read it.
The black Toyota car was driving fast on the Long Island Highway, and Eric was absently looking at the script in his hand and just figured out something else. I only heard the car suddenly bumped a few times and stopped in a low hum.
"What's wrong?" Eric asked, looking up.
Carter took a picture on the steering wheel and turned his head: "After the anchor, I will go down and see."
Eric also walked out of the car with Carter.
Carter opened the hood. A burst of smoke spewed out of it, and Carter waved his hand to disperse the smoke before he carefully checked it.
Eric squatted on the side of the road without a figure, took a cigarette from his pocket and asked, "Carter, would you fix it?"
Carter Moen shook his head slightly. Laughed: "Actually, I am better at repairing tanks."
"Well," Eric smiled and found that the lighter was about to ignite. Carter looked up and said, "Boss, we have to push the car to the side of the road."
Eric had to temporarily put away cigarettes and lighters, and the two walked behind the car and slowly pushed the black Toyota to the side of the road.
Eric tried hard and ridiculed himself: "Hey, I am a billionaire. I used to be a car before, but now I have fallen to the point of personal cart..."
Carter did not show weakness: "Hey, I am a Marine Corps. I used to open a Black Hawk helicopter. Now it has fallen to the point of driving a Japanese car..."
Eric laughed: "I suddenly found out that you are a good talk show host."
"I can't say twenty minutes at a time, forget it."
The two pushed the Toyota sedan to the side of the road, and Carter walked toward the engine again. Eric knew that he couldn't help anything, and once again came to the side of the road and collapsed.
Carter checked for a while and looked up and said, "Boss, the problem is not big, but I don't have tools."
Eric stood up and looked around: "Where is this?"
"The north is Jericho," Carter looked up.
The two are negotiating whether to call the shipping company directly or go to the vicinity to find some repair tools. A passing white Chevrolet stopped by the two people, and a dozen black women poked their heads: "Gentlemen Is it a problem, need help?"
"Yes, madam, if you can," Carter stepped forward and Eric stood up.
The black-haired woman did not notice Eric, who was blocked by the vehicle. When Eric got up, the woman said, "Are you Eric Williams?"
"Yes, ma'am," Eric reached out to the other side.
The woman hasn't answered yet. The white Chevrolet's back door suddenly opened. A little girl jumped out of the car and walked over to Eric with a look of surprise: "Wow, it's really Eric Williams. Hello, Mr. Williams, my name is Natalie Portman, you can call me Nat."
Eric’s expression was a little weird, letting the little girl pull her hand and swaying until the middle-aged woman opened her mouth: “Nate, let’s release Mr. Williams, don’t be so rude.”
"Good mom," the girl let go of Eric's hand, but still looked at Eric with a look of curiosity: "Mr. Williams, are you going to pick an actor on Long Island? What do you think of me?"
"Oh, this, I just passed by..."
"Then what is going to be taken in your next movie, is there a role that suits me?" The girl said, and made a lovely expression.
The girl's mother did not pay attention to the series of problems of the little girl. Instead, she chatted with Carter and said that she had the tools she needed at home: "Mr. Williams, my family is nearby, maybe Mr. Carter can go back with me. Look at the tools."
"No problem, then it will bother you," Eric nodded to the woman.
Since I met Eric, the woman did not have any warning about the two, enthusiastically invited Carter to sit on the co-pilot, and then called her daughter: "Nate, get on the bus, we have to go back."
"Mom, you must still come back later, right? I stayed to chat with Mr. Williams?"
The woman looked at Eric, and Eric nodded quickly: "Do not worry, Ms."
"As long as Mr. Williams doesn't feel trouble, Nat, don't be too naughty."
"I won't," Natalie Portman said immediately, and also sneaked at Eric. (To be continued.)
