Chapter 761: I don't like Japan.
Eric just walked into the Linhai Villa, and Drew greeted him with Amy Pascal and Frank Makasso.
MGM's biggest shareholder on the surface is Drew, but almost everyone knows that the film company is still in control of Eric. This can be seen from the selection of MGM's celebration party tonight at the Sharp Corner Manor.
And with a few executives from Drew and MGM in charge of the party tonight, Eric saw Tom Hanks come over with a woman in his thirties and greeted him warmly with each other. Embracing, said: "Tom, I am very happy to meet you, I did not expect you to come so early."
"I came over and Drew them to discuss the public relations of the "Forrest Gump" award," Hanks explained, and introduced the woman next to him: "This is my wife, Rita Wilson."
"Hello, Ms. Wilson," Eric smiled and greeted each other, and Hanks said: "With the influence of "Forrest Gump", I think you must create an Oscar miracle this year."
The release time of "Forrest Gump" has been nearly half a year, and the total box office has already exceeded 300 million US dollars. However, the film is still being released in more than a thousand theaters in North America, especially in December. With the advent of the award season, the topic of "Forrest Gump" in the media has once again been heated up. It has already begun. The sluggish box office has once again rebounded to reach the size of two or three million dollars a week. The two-three million dollar weekly box office is not worth mentioning for the new movie, but it has been released for nearly six months. The film is a miracle.
With its high popularity and reputation, the film has locked in this year's Golden Globe and Oscar nominations for major awards.
Therefore, the most recent discussion in the media has been the nomination of Tom Hanks’ Oscar for Best Actor.
Last year, with the rescue of Ryan, Tom Hanks had just won the best actor award. Usually, after only one year, it is almost impossible for an actor who has already received a small gold man to win another prize, but the influence of Forrest Gump is too big, and the image of the actor A-Gump is almost Has been rendered into a symbol of the American spirit, coupled with the strong support of the film critic and the Austrian judges themselves, although this year's Oscar nomination has not been announced, but most media have begun to discuss the most popular Tom Hanks The possibility of a good male protagonist.
"Oh, I hope so too." Hanks also smiled awkwardly when he heard Eric.
In the history of Oscar, there are quite a few actors who won the two best protagonists, Xiao Jinren. But if he wins the same award for two consecutive years, his name will be destined to be recorded in the entire history of Hollywood movies. This glory is not for everyone. .
The two chatted for a moment, and Eric greeted the other guests who had arrived, and was about to go upstairs to take a shower and change clothes, and there was a somewhat awkward female voice behind him.
"Hey, Eric..."
Eric turned and saw Christina Aguilera standing behind him, the girl wearing a pink knee-length dress, Eric vaguely remembered that this is the Chanel style that Shantou once passed through, Christina is a child It doesn't mean to grow taller, but wearing this expensive little dress also gives people a slim feeling.
The girl looked up and down, Eric nodded with a smile, and said carefully, this time, the girl's Christina looks more like a girl than Britney, but unfortunately in the original time, also passed the 'small sweet Christine of the sweet 'route didn't compete with Britney.
Satisfied to appreciate for a moment, see the girl's somewhat cautious face with a shy look, Eric asked: "Christie, how are you here?"
"I, um..." Christina pinched in her little dress and said, "I will help Drew to organize a party together."
"Oh," Eric smiled, didn't go deep, said: "Drew should go to the kitchen, you go, the party hasn't started yet, I am going to change clothes."
"Well," Christina nodded, looking at Eric all the way to the stairs not far away. She looked around and the staff of the party company was finalizing the hall. Some guests arrived early. Chatting near the glass curtain wall, there seems to be no attention to her around.
After hesitating for a moment, Christina took the courage and walked up the stairs.
She had been to the Pointe Manor before and was allowed to stay here for one night. The girl crept in the long corridor for a while and finally found Eric's master bedroom.
Carefully rotated the door handle of the lower bedroom, fortunately did not lock, so pushed the door open and crept in.
This is a large round bedroom, at least at first glance, much larger than the home, and the endless sky behind the glass window reminds Christina of the cliff restaurant that once appeared on the TV.
There was no Eric in the bedroom, but she quickly noticed the clothes left by Eric on the big bed and looked around, except for the door to the outside corridor behind it, and a small door next to it. That should be the room, um, he must be taking a shower.
Thinking of this, the girl's face could not help but red.
After hesitating for a while to leave or continue, Christina finally made up her mind to close the bedroom door and then walked toward the room door.
Eric was so comfortable in the hot water, heard the sound of the door being opened, turned his head and saw the little figure he had just flashed in.
In the opposite direction, Christina’s face suddenly turned into a red apple, and some stood at the door with some help.
Eric stared at the girl for a while, and some helplessly said: "You should not come in."
"I, Eric, I," rushed in impulsively, but after seeing Eric, Christina felt that her little brain had become a snoring, completely forgetting what to say. .
Eric couldn't help but smile. "Go out, if Drew finds out that you are doing this, then you won't want to get such a beautiful dress anymore."
When I heard Eric mention Drew's name, Christina was a little more awake, and for a long time, she certainly knew Drew's temper. However, although she did not dare or want to marry Drew, after all, Drew is very good to her, this set of 8,000-year-old Chanel dress is Drew gave her, eight thousand dollars She can't afford it anyway.
But my heart still can't help but envy.
It is said that Drew’s current net worth has exceeded $2 billion, and everything is due to the man in front of him.
Thinking of this, she did not leave, but took the courage to take off the little high heels on her feet and walked over to Eric.
"Eric, I..." Christina came to the bathtub and sat down. The little hand dialed on a thin layer of foam in the bathtub and tried to look at Eric. "I... everything." made."
Eric laughed and stretched out the big bath towel next to him and handed it to Christina. "Put it under your knees. If the dress is wet, you can't change it."
Christina said that she had been nervous, and she was obediently putting a big bath towel under her knees and looking at Eric with a red face. She seemed to be waiting for the man’s instructions.
Eric then did not have any movements, leaning comfortably in the bathtub, casually saying: "Talk about you, what are you doing recently?"
Christina's slender fingers slid gently on the marble table at the edge of the bathtub and said, "I, um, I was in the dance class recently."
Eric recalled and nodded: "Oh, according to your age, you can make a single next year."
"But, they said, if you want to release the album, at least until I am 18 years old," Christina said with dissatisfaction, and spoiled.
"Oh, you have to know, Christie, there are not many singers in the world who can make an album at the age of 18."
Christina looked up at Eric and quickly lowered her head and muttered: "But I don't want to wait another two years."
Eric asked: "Why?"
Christina’s finger on the marble table stopped, saying: “Eric, I think I should have been able to release the album now. Does anyone have a prescription for girls under the age of 18?”
"But the rules are like this. If you are under the age of 18, according to your development path, the future will certainly be controversial," Eric said. The firefly record is a rebellious girl image for Christina's future route. If it is under 18 years old, although it will not affect her popularity, it will certainly cause anxiety and resentment for adults to teach children.
Christina bit her lip and looked up at Eric. "Eric, I heard that many singers can go to Japan in advance before they reach adulthood."
"Well, it should be," Eric nodded, not only the singer, because the legal regulations were different, and Japan’s admiration for Western culture, many underage girls are used to going to Japan for several years, Eric’s memory Many well-known supermodels, actors and singers have had this experience.
Christina raised her face and said with hope: "Then I can... go there and send an album there?"
"If you want to go, I won't stop you," Eric said. "But I don't like Japan."
"Well?" The girl made a puzzled syllable.
Eric repeated it: "I mean, I don't like Japan."
Christina brewed for a while before she understood it.
Eric does not like Japan, he went to Japan to develop in advance, and then...
She quickly reacted and said, "Then I will not go."
Eric smiled with satisfaction and said: "Christie, for many girls, at your age, they should all be in high school. The future is far away from them. Your starting point is already very high. I think You don't have any need to worry at all, aren't you?"
Christina said: "Eric, I am not going to school now, I am stupid, I can't learn anything, it is better to work out in advance."
"I remember that the Disney Channel should have arranged some roles for you?"
Christina nodded. Since the members of the Mickey Mouse Club have been recalled, in addition to learning and daily training, in order to maintain their public awareness, Disney Channel often provides them with some roles in their children's TV series. However, these roles usually pay thousands of dollars, and there is not necessarily one such opportunity in a month or two. For Christina, who has been used to the upper class in Drew, the money is not worth mentioning.
Hesitating, Christina said: "Eric, then, can I play a movie?"
Eric probably understood some things at this time and asked: "Is your family very short of money?"
Christina didn't know how to answer it for a while, lacking money, of course not. Her mother has found a job in Los Angeles, plus some of the pay she has earned in a TV show, enough to pay for their mother and daughter to live in Los Angeles. However, everything is just the same, and ordinary middle class life is not what she wants, so she is eager to make more money and live a better life.
Noticing the expression on Christina's face, Eric understood that he said, "Okay, I know, you should go out first, I will help you arrange it if you take the time."
Christina raised her face and asked in surprise: "Really?"
"Do I have to lie to you this little guy?"
"That..." Christina’s nephew lit up and felt that she should do something. Hesitated for a moment, she reached out and grabbed Eric's big hand from the bathtub, and wanted to press in front of herself, but immediately remembered what Eric had just said, and she had nothing to change when her dress was wet.
It was so awkward for a moment, the little girl took care of her heart, and opened her mouth to plug Eric’s fingers into her mouth.
Eric was teased by the girl's series of actions and couldn't help but laugh. She broke away from Christina's little hand and pinched it on her sharp chin: "Okay, don't make trouble, give you a minute, if you still Did not disappear in front of me, I will take back the words."
"Ah, me," Christina opened her mouth.
Eric did not leave too much time for the little girl, and stretched out five fingers and shook: "There are still fifty seconds left."
Christina immediately whispered her mouth and retorted: "Which is so fast?"
Eric ignored it and dropped a finger again: "Forty seconds."
"Ah, I will leave," Christina hurried up, rushed out of Eric's room, and turned back in the blink of an eye. He smiled awkwardly at Eric and picked up the pair of high-heeled shoes on the ground. Slid out.
