I’m in Hollywood

Chapter 1012: what do you think

Views:

Keri Russell got a page of the script, and after a little preparation, the assistant next to him began to read the lines: "Don't pay attention to him, my uncle is a very strange guy, he likes to talk nonsense, he recognized the wrong person."

This is a scene where Peter Parker had a dispute with others after awakening his superpowers, and met Gwen Stacy after being invited by the parents.

Keri Russell held the page of the script in front of her body, her body shook slightly because of her shyness, but she joked, "So, you don't have a picture of me in your room anymore?"

"Well, yes, I took a photo of the debate competition, and you are in it, so it's probably..."

Keri Russell showed a slightly shy and teasing smile, and chased after her: "What is it?"

"It's nothing, he must have seen me often, um, touching me."

Keri Russell laughed: "Haha, touch it... touch it."

"Well, I don't think I've been able to explain myself."

Keri Russell changed the subject in a timely manner and said, "So, have you been expelled?"

"No, no, it's just forced labor."

At this point in the conversation, Eric stopped.

This episode comes from the previous "The Amazing Spider-Man". After Eric proposed it, Cameron also found it very interesting, so he naturally added it.

It's just that, compared with Sister Stone, Keri Russell's performance is somewhat green. The styles of the two are also different. Sister Stone has a natural and generous temperament, while Keri Russell is a little bit more shy of the girl next door.

Two more scenes were selected for Keri Russell to perform, and Eric sent the other party away first, and asked Cameron beside him: "What do you think?"

Cameron nodded slightly, and said: "The image fits Gwen Stacy very well, but the acting skills are still a bit green. In addition, the temperament needs to be polished."

Eric said: "This is actually something that can't be helped. The male and female protagonists are all high school students, and the age of the actors is limited to around 20 years old. In this age group, Kirsten Dunst and Kai Lee Russell and the others who were born as child stars are already considered outstanding, but most of them don't have as much acting experience as them.

Cameron can naturally see that Eric feels good about Keri Russell, and he is actually quite satisfied, saying: "Then let her enter the final round of candidates."

The two chatted for a few words, and it was already lunch break time. Everyone had a short break and went to the restaurant on the big ship to have dinner together.

Firefly has prepared a free lunch for those who participated in the audition today and have not left at noon. The company will not be stingy about these small details.

It's just that Eric left the audition office with Cameron and others, and most of the girls in the corridor hadn't gone to the restaurant yet, obviously hoping to meet Eric and others.

Eric didn't dislike the little thoughts of the girls, and politely responded to a series of greetings.

Seeing Kate Hudson, Goldie Hawn's daughter and girl best friend, also waiting in the crowd, she waved her hands expectantly to him, Eric smiled and said, "Kate, the time is just right, go have lunch with me Bar."

"Okay." Under the envious eyes of all the girls, Kate Hudson walked out of the crowd, and boldly took Eric's arm directly. Eric was still holding graffiti in her family's manor Party, Kate Hudson knows that Eric is actually a very easy guy to get along with.

Feeling the girl's little bird on his body, Eric smiled and said: "Let's say it first, I won't be lenient to you in the audition this afternoon."

"I never thought about it that way," Kate Hudson said with a smile. Although she didn't inherit the American sweetheart temperament of her mother Goldie Hawn, her appearance is naturally not bad because of her genes. Then, Kate Hudson shook Eric's arm lightly again, and said, "Eric, you haven't played with Drew for a long time, how about this weekend?"

Eric was noncommittal, and said: "It depends on the situation. You can go to Drew for whatever you want. I may not be free. How about you, what are you doing recently?"

"It's boring to make a movie with a heroine who is a solo production."

"Heh, your words are heard by those actors who may not get a decent role in a year or two, and you probably want to vomit blood. Since you don't like filming, why do you still want to play Gwen Stacy? You know, Jim's harshness can really make people vomit blood."

When Eric said this, Cameron on the other side immediately became unwilling: "Eric, when did I make people vomit blood?"

"I still remember going to Mexico a few years ago to watch the filming of "Titanic" and someone jumped off the side of the ship."

Cameron rolled his eyes and said, "That's obviously me."

Eric joked: "That's why I said you are ruthless enough, you won't even let yourself go."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when Eric mentioned Cameron's embarrassment.

After lunch, the auditions continued, and Eric and Cameron finalized the six candidates who made it to the final round of auditions. Next, the final candidate for Gwen Stacy will be selected.

After a day's work, Eric rushed to the mansion of Elizabeth and Julia on the top of Beverly Hills after get off work. Yesterday, Elizabeth called Eric to come over today, saying that he had something to discuss.

He deliberately brought a spare key, opened the door and walked into the mansion. Eric found that both Elizabeth and Julia had arrived home, but Julia was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen like a little wife, while Elizabeth was sitting leisurely in the living room On the sofa, he flipped through a thick manuscript.

Julia ran out of the kitchen in a snap, hugged Eric, and ran back in a snap. There was still a faint scent coming from the kitchen.

Eric tore off his tie and unbuttoned his shirt by the way. Seeing Elizabeth on the sofa still looking leisurely, she walked over with a smile, avoiding a kicked little foot in short stockings. Rick crushed the girl under his body.

The whole sofa sank down suddenly, Elizabeth yelled, pushed Eric who was riding on her body hard, and said dissatisfiedly: "You bastard, you are really disgusting."

Eric ignored the girl's complaints, instead found a more comfortable position, and then took the artwork she was flipping through: "What is this, um, an airplane?"

"The Boeing I ordered with Julia has already started designing the interior decoration." Elizabeth pushed Eric again, seeing that he didn't move at all, she had to give up, and said, "What about you, how is the progress?"

"I've also seen the design draft. It's pretty good. It should be faster than yours." Eric flipped through a few pages of the draft, then threw it aside, and said to Elizabeth, "Remember to install a big bed."

"Ah bah, you bastard, you know this all day long."

Eric stretched out his hands to hold Elizabeth's face and kissed it, and said with a smile, "Hey, let me see if you want to."

After entangled with each other for a while, confiscated to do something too outrageous, but both of them lay down on the love seat.

Putting his arms around Elizabeth's slender waist, Eric asked, "By the way, didn't you say you had something to do yesterday?"

"If I say it's okay, don't you plan to come over?"

"Of course not," Eric shook his head without hesitation, and said, "I planned to come here today."

"I believe you are a ghost. Someone saw you eating with Goldie Han's daughter at noon."

"That's why gossip is the worst thing," Eric said with a smile, "Obviously, your paparazzi's professional habits are extremely ill. Didn't they tell you that Jim and Jon Landau are also eating together?" person?"

Elizabeth was not ashamed, and raised her chin: "That's so unprofessional, of course we have to choose what everyone likes to hear about gossip."

Eric smiled, and by the way raised his hand and threw a 50 cents on the buttocks of the girl beside him.

Elizabeth snorted with a rosy face, and said after a while: "They plan to hold a wedding next month, and my father should invite you. Uh huh, you must be free next month, right?"

As she spoke, Elizabeth showed a threatening little look.

Eric knew that Elizabeth was talking about the wedding between Murdoch and a certain strange woman, and said with a smile: "I'm quite curious, maybe I can join in the fun then."

Elizabeth rolled her eyes, and said in a savage tone, "Don't go."

Eric knew that Elizabeth was serious this time, so he took the initiative to compromise. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether he goes to the wedding or not, and he will definitely meet in the future: "Okay, okay, if you don't want me to go, I won't go .”

The little kitten that had just puffed up immediately went soft again, and pecked Eric on the face in satisfaction. Elizabeth thought of a lot of news about America Online recently, and asked curiously: "Eric, are you really going to put Sell all AOL stock?"

Eric nodded, and said again: "I really want to, but it's unrealistic to sell them all. The stock price of AOL is too high now, and there are not many people willing to take over. My plan is that as long as I can cash out A lot of money will do.

"

"I also feel that the Nasdaq may collapse one day. Many technology stocks now have a price-to-earnings ratio of more than 100 times. It is crazy. Julia and I liquidated all our stock accounts at the end of last month. .”

Eric had some admiration on his face. It is rare to find someone who can decisively sell the stock during the rapid rise of the stock when he can't see the future at all. However, he still regretted: "It's too early to sell, if you can By the end of the year, the income will definitely be even more substantial.”

"That's not necessarily true," Elizabeth disagreed with Eric's point of view, and said: "Some people say that Yahoo's listing may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back. Wall Street's highest valuation of Yahoo now exceeds 50 billion yuan." USD, but compared with other companies with the same market capitalization, Yahoo’s revenue can only be described as pitiful, and its profits are even more unprecedented.”

"Yahoo is only in the accumulation period, and the operating costs of Internet companies are actually not too high," Eric said: "When Yahoo completely becomes an industry giant with far more strength than other similar manufacturers, everyone will be able to see the scale effect. Strong."

Elizabeth was a little puzzled: "Can't Yahoo be regarded as the number one giant in the Internet industry?"

"Of course not. The current concept of Internet media such as portal websites has a very fatal weakness, that is, the model is very easy to copy. Since a large number of users also like to obtain different information from different portal websites, with portal websites as the It is difficult for the Internet media group at the core of the business to form a Matthew effect in terms of scale, but will continue to lose users, and naturally it is unlikely to reach the oligarch level."

Elizabeth nodded thoughtfully, and said, "However, the search engine you've been talking about shouldn't be that difficult technically. Many websites now have their own content retrieval systems."

"These are completely two concepts. What's more, what Yahoo wants to build is not a simple keyword search engine system, but a complete content search ecosystem, including image search, map search, music search and even in the next few years. video search system. As long as Yahoo’s search engine services are always ahead of other competitors in all aspects, users will gradually get used to this search engine tool, and the power of habit is powerful. With the emergence of Yahoo's technology, it is difficult for the other party to steal too many users from Yahoo."

Eric was chatting with Elizabeth, he raised his head inadvertently, and saw Julia appeared on the other side of the double sofa at some point, lying on the back of the sofa and looking down at the two of them.

Seeing that Eric finally noticed her, Julia said softly: "The topics you two are talking about are really boring, and you have to keep talking about work when you get home."

"Hey, it's my fault." Eric turned over with a smile, lay on his back and stretched out his hand to Julia: "Come on, give me a hug."

The little complaint just now disappeared from Julia's face immediately, like a kitten who just heard the call from its owner, with watery eyes, turned over the back of the sofa and threw itself into Eric's arms.

"Ah, you squeezed me, move away," Elizabeth, who was squeezed to the inside of the sofa when Julia threw herself into Eric's arms, complained like a little girl, and stretched out her hand to push a handful.

Since she was leaning against the back of the sofa, it was easy to borrow strength. Elizabeth only exerted a little force, and Julia immediately fell to the floor, and by the way, Eric, who subconsciously hugged her, was brought down.

"Well, hehehe, it hurts, it's so comfortable, Liz, you stay on the sofa alone, don't come down."

Elizabeth turned sideways, grabbed the pillows on the sofa and threw them at the two people on the ground: "I'm not going down, I'm not sick."

"Oh, Eric, Liz said I was sick."

"Let her tell. Normal people generally suspect that there is something wrong with them. Only sick people like to say that they are not sick."

"Hehe, Eric, I'm not sick."

"Well, but I still need to check it, come on, let me touch it."

Elizabeth threw down a pillow on the sofa again, stretched out her foot and kicked it down twice, with an unbearable look: "Wow, it's disgusting, I really want to drive you two out."

"Normal people, you should go out, I'm contagious."

"I strangle you."

"Ah, my strength is really weak."
