After experiencing all kinds of difficulties and dangers, Ryan's body finally touched the solid earth.
Grabbing the soil beside her and feeling it for a moment, she murmured the joy of being alive after the catastrophe. She tried to get up, but the momentary loss of strength caused her to fall down again. Laughing at herself, she tried again without hesitation, and this time she did not fail. Although she was still a little shaky, she finally managed to stand between the sky and the earth.
Under the special upward shooting angle, the woman in the camera is like an ancient and mysterious totem.
At the end of the shot, Eric, who was sitting behind the director's monitor, repeatedly checked the replay of the shot just now. Under the expectant gaze of everyone, he raised his left hand and made an OK gesture to everyone.
clap clap.
Everyone couldn't help cheering and applauding.
Eric also stood up, shook hands and hugged everyone present one by one. After a moment of excitement, everyone began to clean up the scene. Eric chatted with William Stewart about the crew's plans for the next few days, and felt that he needed to call Los Angeles first, and touched his pockets, only to remember that in the morning, in order to avoid getting wet by the lake again, he took the The phone was left with Caroline.
Turning around, he asked Caroline, who had been quietly following her, for her mobile phone. Eric saw that the girl's footsteps were strange, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Caroline didn't want to trouble Eric, handed the phone to Eric, shook her head and said, "It's nothing."
Eric took the phone, but took Caroline's little hand: "Come on, let me see."
"Eric, it's really, really nothing."
Caroline struggled lightly to follow Eric and took two steps. Seeing that the girl's footsteps were obviously staggering, Eric blamed himself for his carelessness. He reached out and hugged Caroline involuntarily. Head over to the director's chair.
Being hugged by Eric with a strong attitude, Caroline was not angry at all, but a little sweet. However, thinking that there were so many people around, she closed her eyes shyly in a blink of an eye, and leaned her head on Eric's chest.
The sudden situation here immediately attracted everyone's attention. Naturally, everyone didn't think that Mr. Director would be impatient at this time. They all knew what might happen and gathered around. Seeing that Eric was focusing all his attention on Caroline, Mayer took the initiative to explain a few words to everyone.
Eric put Caroline on the simple folding chair, squatted down and asked softly, and reached out to untie the lace of the muddy water-stained flat shoe on the girl's right foot, and the light blue cotton socks inside were also Stepped into the water in the morning and got mud stains. However, Eric didn't care about these, and gently held the little feet in his hands. His first feeling was that they were so small.
This idea was just a flash, and Eric continued to take off the girl's cotton socks, and a petite foot that could even be called a pink jade carving appeared in his hands. It was not even as long as Eric's palm, and it was up to 28 yards. look. The five toes without any whitewash are somewhat pearly round and jade-like, and the soles of the feet do not have the slightest trace of calluses, but they are somewhat rosy because of soaking in water, and other parts are as white as jade at a glance on other parts of a girl's body.
However, the outer ankle of this beautiful foot, which should have been flawless, was now pitifully red and swollen.
Perhaps it was a man's instinctive possessiveness. Eric just glanced at it, then put the slightly damp cotton sock on Caroline's feet again calmly, turned his head to look at the crowd, and said: "William, contact a hospital in Phoenix right away. Mark, start the helicopter. I'll take Caroline back first. Everyone continue to deal with the aftermath. I'll ask Mark to come back to pick you up later."
After saying this, Eric ignored everyone's reactions, picked up Caroline, and walked towards VH-60 not far away.
Most of the men around were still engrossed in the glimpse of a certain beautiful foot just now, and a few female employees were even more delusional, thinking that if there was a man like Eric Williams who would take care of him like this, even if he died immediately It's worth it.
Seeing Eric pick up Caroline and walk away, William Stuart quickly came back to his senses, and said decisively to everyone: "Mark, Mary, and Carter, follow up. Everyone else, continue on your own." The job, that who, don't be in a daze, GOGOGO."
Following William Stewart's order, everyone moved. Helicopter pilot Mark Bierman called his deputy, and ran to the helicopter with Marissa Mayer and several of Eric's bodyguards. People also began to disperse, and continued to organize the filming equipment of the crew. William Stewart immediately took out his mobile phone and started calling Phoenix.
Everyone started to do their own things. Judy, who had finished his work, looked at the VH-60 that was slowly rising into the air. Thinking of how he and Eric had been getting along in the past few months, he suddenly felt a little bit pissed. A small stone was kicked out in front of him.
After calming down the inexplicably raised emotions, Judy decided to find something to do so as to forget the feeling just now.
Turning around, he noticed that the little assistant standing beside him was still looking at the helicopter that was starting to go away in the sky, and he still looked like a nympho, and said angrily: "What are you thinking?"
The little assistant was immersed in some fantasies. Hearing Judy's words, he blurted out: "It would be great if I could become Eric Williams' assistant."
Judy gave her a white look: "How about I recommend you to go there?"
The little assistant was overjoyed: "Really?"
"Fake."
The little assistant looked disappointed and condemned: "Judy, how could you do this."
After several months of contact, Judy also had a general understanding of the backgrounds of the two female assistants who often followed Eric, saying: "Caroline and Marisa, one has a double degree from Cambridge and Harvard, and the other graduated from Stanford. Woolen cloth?"
The little assistant immediately lowered his head: "Compton Community College."
Judy's slender eyes narrowed, and with a smile, she said narrowly, "Tsk tsk, I suddenly want to change my assistant."
The little assistant seemed to start to return to reality, and followed Judy like a follower, begging: "Judy, don't fire me."
Judy glanced behind her in disgust: "Okay, stop pretending, and bring me a glass of water."
The little assistant put away his pitiful expression in a blink of an eye, turned around and ran away with a giggle, and went to the logistics to help Judy get water.
…
The province where Eric lived in his previous life has an area of 100,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 80 million people. Arizona covers an area of nearly 300,000 square kilometers, but the entire state has less than 6 million people. From this, you can imagine how sparsely populated this state is.
If it is in other densely populated areas, even if the crew’s sudden behavior in the morning can catch the media reporters in Phoenix by surprise, they will definitely be discovered by the surrounding residents and disclosed to the media reporters during the filming process, but there is only one near Lake Powell. A large area of farms communicated in advance.
Therefore, until noon, the reporters in Phoenix had not received any reliable information. However, just after four o'clock in the afternoon, people scattered on the highway north of Phoenix City trying to search for the traces of the crew of "Gravity" found a black helicopter flying towards Phoenix City. Noticing that there was only one helicopter in the sky, and the time was far before the end of get off work, the intuitive reporter immediately realized that something might have happened. While frantically getting in the car to chase the helicopter in the sky, he quickly contacted the Companions in Phoenix.
When the black VH-60 finally landed in a private hospital in Phoenix, reporters all over the city were excited.
In less than five minutes, headlines such as "Major safety accident occurred on the crew of "Gravity"" accompanied by photos of VH-60 landing in the hospital have appeared on major Internet news sites. More than ten minutes later, an emergency telephone connection was made to the reporter standing outside the Carlson Private Hospital in Phoenix to inquire about the development of the situation.
As a large number of journalists were blocked outside the private hospital and could not get any inside information, some irresponsible media sites on the Internet even began to make various sensational reports without any basis. In less than an hour, the entire North American media knew the news of the safety incident on the "Gravity" crew, and a large number of calls began to frantically hit various departments of the Firefly Group, and almost everyone in the "Gravity" crew also began to call. to incoming calls from all sides.
After hanging up the phone call from Katzenberg himself, Eric simply turned off the phone and said to Mayer beside him, "Well, don't let everyone guess wildly, go outside and briefly introduce the situation."
After speaking, thinking of the media reporters at the gate who wanted to smash the gate and rush in, Eric said to his bodyguard Carter Moen: "Carter, you guys go out with Mary."
Meyer and the others nodded and walked outside the hospital.
A moment later, Caroline was pushed out from a nearby CT room by a nurse. Eric reached out to take the armrest of Caroline's wheelchair and asked the nurse, "How is it?"
The Latina female nurse with a curvy figure said respectfully: "Mr. Williams, you still have to wait for five minutes. Dr. Brown will come over and explain to you in person soon. I will take you to Dr. Brown's office first."
"Well," Eric nodded, pushing Caroline to an office with the nurse.
Walking into the office, I waited patiently for a while. The so-called Dr. Brown hadn't come yet, but Mayer brought Carter and the others back in a panic, and said, "Eric, they, they don't believe it."
"Forget it." Eric was also a little helpless. To be honest, someone twisted his foot, which sounds really hard to convince or satisfy the media reporters: "How is the situation outside, did someone rush in?"
Mayer said: "No, the city of Phoenix temporarily sent a team of patrolmen to help maintain order, and the reporters were temporarily stopped outside the hospital."
Eric thought for a while, and said: "Let Mark and the others not rush to pick up people, and we will go back to the resort after we finish here."
Mayer nodded and hurried out of the office again.
After waiting for a while, a middle-aged doctor with glasses and a somewhat pudgy figure walked into the office with a nurse, and Eric stood up immediately.
The middle-aged man extended his hand enthusiastically to Eric: "Hi, Mr. Williams, I'm Dax Brown."
Eric shook hands with the other party politely, and said, "Hello, Dr. Brown, how is the test result?"
Dax Brown took the CT light from the nurse behind him, put it on the backlight beside the desk, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Williams, it's not a big problem, this lady doesn't have any symptoms of bone fractures or fractures." , However, it may be that he did not rest immediately after the sprain, and continued to move, resulting in a slight dislocation of the joints, you see, this is here."
Eric followed Dr. Brown's guidance to observe for a while, then he relaxed and said, "Then how should I treat it? Do I need a plaster cast?"
Dr. Brown shook his head and smiled, "That's not necessary. You just need to reset the joint and fix it with a splint."
Eric always felt that plaster casts were safer, but after so many years of rebirth, he also knew the medical habits of some American doctors, so he nodded and said, "Then I will trouble you."
"This is what I should do," Dr. Brown said politely, "Mr. Williams, is it okay to carry this lady to the bed over there?"
"Of course," Eric nodded, following the doctor's instructions, he picked up Caroline and placed her on the black treatment bed next to her.
After about an hour of tossing, Eric took Caroline out of the hospital and took a helicopter to return to the resort where the crew stayed in the north of Phoenix under the flashing lights outside the hospital.
After five o'clock in the afternoon, the weather in October was approaching evening. Eric got off the helicopter in the resort with Caroline in his arms, and found that part of the crew had returned, and another helicopter was also parked on the lawn of the resort.
Seeing Eric coming back, William Stewart led everyone to greet him. Seeing Caroline sitting in a wheelchair with some embarrassment, he asked Eric behind her: "Eric, how is it? Is there any big problem?" hinder?"
"It's okay, it's just a sprain, just rest for half a month," Eric shook his head, and said, "Don't worry about us, William, let someone prepare for the party at night. By the way, how many people are still staying in Lake Powell? Over there, quickly let Mark and the others pick it up?"
"No," William said, "The remaining people borrowed a truck from a farm by Lake Powell, and it's probably not far from Phoenix now."
Eric nodded, and everyone chatted a few more words before William Stewart led the others to disperse.
Eric pushed Caroline towards the place where the girl lived, put her on the sofa in the living room of the suite, and asked, "Carly, how do you feel?"
"No, it doesn't hurt anymore." Caroline shook her head, her cheeks were still rosy, and she said embarrassedly: "Eric, I, I must have caused trouble for everyone."
"Don't think about these insignificant things." Eric squatted in front of the girl, helped her cut the blond hair on her forehead, and said with a smile: "If you want trouble, you can only be my trouble. Others want to take care of you." I used to be angry."
Caroline nodded, her face became more and more rosy, she raised her hand hesitantly, touched Eric's cheek lightly, but immediately retracted.
Eric smiled and grabbed Caroline's fleeing little hand, rubbed it against his cheek, and said, "Then you rest first, and I'll prepare some food for you."
