"If you can," Eric handed the pan to Anne Hathaway: "I'll get you the clothes, they should be washed."
Although Anne Hathaway was pampered and pampered since she was a child, after living alone in Los Angeles for a few months, she naturally learned all the life skills she should learn.
Eric handed over the task of making breakfast to the girl and left the kitchen.
More than 20 minutes later, when Anne Hathaway came to the dining room with a ready breakfast, Eric was sitting at the dining table and flipping through emails on his laptop. Tote bag for clothes.
Anne Hathaway nodded, put the fine porcelain plate containing fried eggs, salad and muffins in front of Eric, and arranged the tableware graciously, and sat down beside her expectantly: "Eric, try How am I doing?"
Eric picked up a muffin and took a bite, nodded and said, "Not bad."
"This, I didn't make it, I just got it from the refrigerator."
"It's yours," Eric smiled, looking at the girl beside him: "Don't you eat breakfast?"
"Oh, mine is in the kitchen." Anne Hathaway stood up again and said, "Eric, do you need anything else?"
"Pour me a glass of milk."
"Okay," Anne Hathaway nodded, and walked towards the kitchen courteously.
Anne Hathaway ate very slowly. When Eric put down the tableware, the girl was still sipping her own salad.
Looking at the girl opposite who was eating, although her face was a little greener and her mouth was a little bigger, I have to say that those eyes were really beautiful.
After appreciating for a moment, Eric said, "By the way, I made an appointment for an audition for you. Tomorrow, you can go directly to the Columbia Pictures headquarters in Culver City."
Seeing the excitement in those big eyes, Eric immediately said: "However, don't expect too much, this is just a small role. You are now in the most embarrassing age for Hollywood actors. So, in the past two years, just obediently take some small roles in some movies to hone your acting skills. In addition, if you want to go further on this road, then enroll in an acting training class. There is no one in this world. Acting skills are born, even Meryl Streep graduated from Yale University majoring in drama performance."
Anne Hathaway nodded obediently, but she was most concerned about the character Eric just mentioned, and asked, "Eric, what am I going to play?"
"It's a biographical film about a girl with borderline personality disorder in a sanatorium. The two heroines are Winona Ryder and Charlize Theron. You play a girl with pseudoparanoia. .”
Hearing that she was about to play against Winona and Charlize, the two youngest first-line actresses in Hollywood, Annie felt a little less disappointed. Instead, she thought about it, as long as the man in front of her could help her, then one day she would His reputation will be no less than that of the other party.
Looking forward to this in her heart, Anne Hathaway's tone became more and more like a well-behaved kitten: "Eric, what is pseudoparanoia?"
"To put it simply," Eric said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "it's habitual lying."
"ah… "
Anne Hathaway noticed the somewhat nasty smile on Eric's face, and suddenly realized that all her little lies yesterday had been seen through. The big talking eyes blinked, as if they wanted to express their little grievances, but this time the girl was smart enough not to defend herself.
Seeing that the girl had almost eaten, Eric pushed the plate in front of him to the center of the table with a smile, patted the place in front of him and said, "Come on."
Anne Hathaway came over, followed Eric's instructions and sat down on the table in front of him, placing her two little feet on the man's lap. She was still only wearing a shirt at this time, and she couldn't help pressing the hem of the shirt shyly in this sitting position. After thinking about it, she separated her legs subconsciously.
Eric just held the girl's slender waist and put her on the dining table in front of him, without any other actions. Although the girl in front of him is very attractive, he still has work today, and he has no time to do other things at this time, just Then he said: "Hey, don't play tricks in front of me in the future, or I might really send you to a mental hospital."
Anne Hathaway shrank her neck like a frightened little rabbit, and nodded obediently.
"About this character, there is actually a very interesting dialogue with Winona's character. In that scene, the character you want to play will have a dialogue with Winona about another disfigured girl. You The character told the story of the girl’s disfigurement very seriously, and then Winona asked you, how did you get in, and you said: false paranoia.”
Seeing Anne Hathaway's confused expression, Eric raised his hand and pinched the girl's chin, and said with a smile: "When you get the script, try to think about this scene, as long as you can perform this scene well , the audience will be able to remember you through this role."
The pseudo-delusional cosplayer in the original "Missing Girl" is Keri Duvall, an actress who frequently appeared in Hollywood teen films in the late 1990s.
Although Eric felt that the other party's performance about what he just said was not good at all, Eric was still impressed by the dialogue with a wonderful dramatic contrast. It feels like a person encounters an old man who tells a ghost story in an ancient house in the middle of the night. At the end of the story, the listener suddenly realizes that the old man next to him may be the "protagonist" of the ghost's hometown.
Looking at Anne's harmless eyes, Erik felt that if she played this role, the contrast would definitely be stronger. As long as she puts enough effort into this role, the audience will appreciate Winona. While performing with Charlize, she will definitely remember this girl named Anne Hathaway.
In Hollywood, it doesn't matter if you act in a good movie or a bad movie, as long as you can be remembered by the audience, then you are considered successful.
However, Eric didn't explain too much to the girl in front of him. The opportunity has been given, if she can't grasp it, then continue to be mediocre.
After saying this, Eric took out a credit card from his wallet and said, "Also, this is for you."
Anne Hathaway moved her finger when she saw the black card handed over by Eric. She still knew what the black card of Citigroup in front of her meant. However, after a moment of hesitation, she resisted the temptation and shook her head: " Eric, I, I can't have it."
Eric put the credit card directly into the girl's hand and said, "Isn't it your birthday next month? You can buy yourself a house or a car at that time, and treat it as my birthday gift to you." It's a gift, heh, anyway, you can figure out what you want to buy, you girls know how to spend more than us."
Feeling the touch of the card in her hand, Anne Hathaway hesitated, but nodded slightly.
"Then, one last thing." Eric put away his relaxed expression just now, and said: "Hold this card, you are my woman, but I am not the kind of person who likes to force the relationship between the two parties, so, what Sometimes you feel like you want to leave your life, call and cancel this card, and you will be free. But before that, you have to remember that you are mine, don't do anything you shouldn't do, Understand?"
Anne Hathaway certainly understood what Eric meant. For a moment, she even wanted to return the credit card to Eric immediately. However, after hesitating for a while, she finally nodded slightly . However, she still couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Ai, Eric, this, this card..."
Eric reached out and pinched the girl's face again, and said with a smile: "If you can max it out, you're good, but you also have to remember that the more you get, the more you give, absolutely, absolutely Don't take me for a fool."
"Well, I, I remember."
"Okay," Eric said, handed over two more business cards, and said, "One is for me, and the other is for my assistant's office. If you have anything to do, you can call me. For other things, such as buying House and car, just call my assistant’s office, they will arrange it for you, you will definitely be treated as a little sheep by yourself. Then, go and change your clothes, I have already sent your agent to Firefly Studios , I’ll have a chat with him later.”
More than an hour later, Anne Hathaway was sitting in her manager Carl Franco's car, recalling everything that happened in the past two days, feeling like she had a long dream, and she was in a trance for a while, until Noticing that the manager next to her was hesitant to speak several times, she pulled herself together, turned her head and said seriously: "Uncle Carl, don't tell my parents about this, okay?"
Carl Franco is a middle-aged man in his forties. He originally signed the girl next to him because of his friend's face. He has no personal friendship with Annie's family.
When he received a call in the morning saying that Eric Williams wanted to see him, he thought it was someone joking with him, until the other party called the boss of his brokerage company, and the boss called again, and he hurried to Firefly movie theater.
Hearing Anne's words, Carl Franco nodded without thinking. Of course he knew what to do to benefit himself. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but said: "Annie, are you used to living with Christen and the others? Looking for a house? Don't worry, the rent company can temporarily pay for it for you."
Anne Hathaway originally lived in a shared apartment in West Hollywood with several girls from the company. Although the house was recommended by the brokerage company, the rent of that apartment was not cheap, and the rent was paid by the girls themselves. Yes, Annie is the youngest, and it is impossible to receive any work bills when she first arrived in Hollywood, so she will naturally hand it over to her parents, probably like Rachel who swiped her father's credit card in "Friends" at the beginning.
Anne Hathaway also didn't like to share the apartment with other girls. However, after hearing Carl's words, she remembered the credit card in her satchel. Looking around, she pointed to the front and said: : "Uncle Carl, can you stop at the bank in front?"
Carl Franco saw that Anne didn't respond to his question about the house, and didn't say anything more. He nodded, and quickly stepped on the accelerator to stop the car on the side of the road.
"Uncle Carl, wait a moment, I'll be back soon."
Anne Hathaway waited for the car to stop, pushed the door to get out of the car, and walked towards the bank's teller machine. She glanced around guiltily before taking out the black card from her bag, stuffing it into the ATM, and gently With a sigh of relief, she anxiously pressed the very simple password given by Eric, six ones.
Afterwards, she entered the page, took a small deep breath again, and pressed the button to check the balance.
The page changed, and the numbers that appeared on the screen made her blink her eyes. The balance column is not a whole number, but a large series of irregular numbers. It is estimated that this should be his daily credit card.
one two three four five six seven eight…
Although the comma separator between the numbers makes it easy to judge the number of digits, she couldn't help counting carefully several times.
That's right, eight digits.
Looking at the numbers again.
36,561,975.33
$36,561,975.3.
More than 30 million US dollars!
Lie softly on the ATM for a long time, and barely let myself sit on the ground without losing strength. After recovering, I glanced at the even more dizzying overdraft credit line. The first thought in Anne Hathaway's heart The first thought was: God, how should I spend it!
…
For several days in a row, Eric received a call from Annie who had nothing to do. It was the final period of filming "Gravity". He didn't have that much thought to deal with this girl. In the end, he had to warn Annie that unless there was something serious, Otherwise, you can only call yourself once a week at most, and your surroundings will be considered clean.
After the last week of studio shooting, on October 21st, the crew officially set off from Los Angeles to Arizona, which is adjacent to California. The last part of the film's exterior scenes will be shot by a large lake near Phoenix, Arizona. , At the same time, Eric also intends to let the whole crew relax there. After several months of continuous studio shooting, everyone is physically and mentally exhausted. Eric is officially at the age of full energy, but in fact, after these few months, the same is true. Not easy.
On the highway passing through Arizona, the convoy of more than 20 vehicles, large and small, looked mighty, and what was even more conspicuous was the presence of two black helicopters in the sky. Helicopters are not uncommon for Americans. However, if these two helicopters with a length of more than 20 meters are different from ordinary civilian helicopters, if they are different from falcons and pigeons, the appearance of the helicopters is also smaller than most helicopters. It is conspicuous and cool, so it attracted the attention of countless people along the way, and even passing drivers got out of the car and held up their cameras to take pictures.
