early morning.
When he woke up, he found that Mayer beside him was hugging the pillow with his chin on his arms and looking at him steadily. Eric smiled, reached out and hugged the naked body of the girl on his body, hugging Rubbing her waist, he asked, "What are you thinking?"
The body is tightly attached to Eric, especially to be able to feel the man's desire in the morning. Mayer's face turned red, and he struggled slightly. Seeing that he couldn't get rid of it, he had to give up and said softly: "Ai Rick, I'm thinking of getting into Firefly Electronics early next year."
Eric's hands that were caressing the woman's body stopped, and said: "It's a little early, and, I hope you go to Nokia?"
"I know," Mayer said, "but I went directly to Nokia to lead a mobile phone research and development department. I was worried that I would not be able to do well, so I wanted to enter Firefly Electronics in advance to gain some experience. I found that your vision for smartphones involves Most of the core technologies are in Firefly Electronics."
"If this is your expectation, of course it's fine," Eric nodded slightly, and said, "However, I suddenly felt that you wanted to escape from me, so I was very unhappy."
"I just want to escape from you," Mayer propped up his body slightly against Eric's chest, stared into his eyes, and said, "If I don't, I'm afraid that one day I will be like them. You A very good lover, but also a terrible lover, which makes women unable to escape even if they want to."
"It's obviously not like this," Eric gently pressed the woman against his body again, and said, "You know, many women have escaped from me."
"That's because you don't care about them at all, even if you give them a lot of money, even if you are very gentle and considerate, even if you make them big stars, but you really don't care about them, they didn't run away from you at all, they I was abandoned by you," Mayer stroked Eric's heart lightly with his fingers, and said: "You guy, sometimes you are so indifferent and frightening. So, I plan to escape from you in advance, so I won't be as pitiful as those girls who are suddenly abandoned by you."
"Suddenly feeling like a villain, it looks like I need to make a serious confession."
"You were a villain in the first place."
"I'm just showing my humility a little bit, don't take it so seriously."
"You scoundrel."
"Oh, I understand, this should be provocation," Eric hugged Mayer's waist, turned over and pressed the girl under him, and said, "Provocateur, accept punishment."
Mayer smiled lightly, her long legs curled up around Eric's waist, feeling the man's sudden stiff movements, with a little pride on her face, she leaned over and kissed the man's lips lightly, and said softly : "But, Eric, we have a nine o'clock plane."
"Then it's ten o'clock." Eric reached out and pressed the girl's legs down, relaxed, and added again in a vicious tone: "No, I'm very angry now, so eleven o'clock."
Eric ended up having lunch in Palo Alto with his female assistant before flying back to Los Angeles.
Knowing that Eric had temporarily decided to attend the Oscars tonight, Nicole called early. She will also attend the awards ceremony tonight, the purpose is similar to Eric, "The Mummy 3" will be released in June, although this may be the last "Mummy" series of films that Nicole participated in, the girl still fulfills her duties conscientiously. related publicity obligations.
As for the other women, they might be at the post-Oscars Vanity Fair party, but none of them are in the mood for an awards ceremony.
Julia has works both last year and this year, and this year's "Never Compromise" is still an Olympic film, so it stands to reason that it should be shown at the Oscars. But this woman is more indifferent to these things than Eric in her bones. In my memory, although Julia has already qualified, she has been too lazy to leave her own star on the Avenue of Stars.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Nicole and Eric rushed to the Dorothy Chandler Theater in downtown Los Angeles.
From Nicole's residence in Beverly Hills to the city center, it was almost 5:30, and the two of them drove among more than a dozen extended concierge cars, slowly heading towards the Dorothy Chandler Theater Marching outside the red carpet entrance.
A few minutes later, the courtesy car finally stopped at the red carpet entrance.
The car door was opened by the driver, but Nicole grabbed Eric again and checked him carefully before letting the man out of the car. Today was one of her rare public appearances with Eric, and the girl didn't want to make a mistake.
After Eric got out of the car, he went around to the other side, very gentlemanly took Nicole who was in a moon-white dress, and walked towards the red carpet together.
But, stepping on today's red carpet, Eric couldn't help frowning.
The Oscar red carpet has always been the most crowded red carpet in major film festivals or award ceremonies, but today the scene on the red carpet was even more chaotic than he imagined, not only the crowd crowded together, but also the guest seats on both sides It also looks messy.
ABC Television has always been a regular partner of the Oscars. Although the ceremony is mainly in the charge of the Academy of Film, Eric decided to ask Katzenberg to ask ABC and the Academy's senior executives in charge of the ceremony after the awards ceremony. what is going on.
Nicole was also holding Eric's arm with a smile on her face, and planned to wave to the auditorium on both sides.
However, when she noticed that Eric's bodyguard Carter Moen was following closely behind the two of them, and there were several bodyguards on both sides of the red carpet whose eyes moved forward with the two of them in sync, she couldn't help tearing off the man's neck. Arm: "Eric, must Carter follow like this?"
"The latest assessment by the security team is that I'm more likely to be attacked in public than John Lennon and John F. Kennedy combined. You don't think everyone in the world is friendly to me, do you?"
Although Eric has not been attacked since his rebirth except for the incident at the Long Island Racecourse last time, he has never relaxed his security.
Eric is very clear about his situation. The power and wealth he now possesses are enough to arouse the vigilance and covetousness of too many people. At the same time, due to his rapid rise, he had no time to lay a solid foundation for himself to support his current wealth, and he didn't even have an heir who could continue his current wealth empire. Unexpectedly, the situation will definitely become very bad.
Nicole didn't understand so many things for a while, but when she heard the names of John Lennon and John Kennedy, the girl subconsciously glanced around, looking a little nervous, but she soon found Eric There was a light pinch on the arm, and she teased, "I think you are worried that some girl will jump out of the crowd and bite you."
When Nicole said this, Eric remembered the call from Paul Roland yesterday, glanced at Carter Moen behind him, and wanted to say something, but realized that the occasion was not right, so he temporarily put away his thoughts.
The red carpet this time was really messy, and they had to deal with the guests who came up to say hello from time to time. Both Eric and Nicole were a little impatient. Regardless of the frantic efforts of media reporters on both sides to stay, they quickened their pace and arrived soon. The end of the red carpet.
Seeing Eric and Nicole appear, Nicole's agent, Pai Kingsley, and an ABC director with headphones greeted them together. Nicole had already arranged a red carpet interview in advance.
The front is the last interview point at the end of the red carpet, and it is the only more formal interview point that Eric saw today. According to the usual practice, there should be three interview points on the Oscar red carpet, which are set at the entrance, middle and end respectively, but Eric did not notice where the first two interview points are, which is why he is very dissatisfied with this red carpet ceremony .
Although he doesn't pay much attention to these things, Eric still remembers the names of several common hosts participating in the Oscars, such as Robin Roberts, a veteran of the ABC Group, but at this time the interview stage is a tall, blond The hostess is very young, with a pretty face like a sweetheart, wearing a pink wide-shouldered low-cut dress, and her figure and appearance even exceed most of the actresses on the red carpet.
However, Eric didn't have the slightest intention of admiring the beauty at this time, and his expression was rather gloomy.
Pai Kingsley nodded to Eric, whispered a few words to Nicole, and stepped aside. The ABC director motioned to the two of them: "Mr. Williams, Miss Kidman, This way, please, you can go up."
Eric helped Nicole with one hand to let her onto the interview stage, turned to the director and said, "Who is the director of this awards ceremony, let him come to see me."
The director of the Academy Awards ceremony is usually the person in charge of ABC.
After saying this, Eric stepped onto the interview platform.
The director had noticed the cold face of the big boss just now, and he looked cautious. Hearing this sentence, he quickly sent Eric's instructions back to the control room through the microphone.
"Mr. Williams, Ms. Kidman, hello, I'm Laura Spencer," the live broadcast camera was still elsewhere. On the interview stage, the beautiful blonde hostess introduced herself respectfully.
Although it is the first time to be in charge of an Oscar red carpet interview, Laura Spencer is not stage frightened. If it is other guests, she may take the initiative to make a few jokes. However, at this time, she also noticed that the big boss's interest was obviously not that high.
Nicole is naturally more likely than outsiders to feel the emotional changes of the man next to him, and she skillfully greeted the female reporter in front of her. The girl secretly reached out with a hand and pinched Eric's waist.
Eric twitched the corners of his mouth and squeezed out a smile helplessly.
The director in the audience signaled that this side can start, and the three adjusted their positions and began to interview in a serious manner.
As usual, we talked about Nicole's dress and makeup today, and the upcoming film "The Mummy 3" in the girl's summer vacation. Laura Spencer was obviously a little scared of Eric, and she politely said a few words of blessing until the end If Eric is lucky tonight, Eric just nodded his head and dealt with it. The content of the interview was arranged in advance. He just decided to attend the award ceremony yesterday, but he didn't feel dissatisfied with the hostess for ignoring him.
After getting off the interview platform, Louis Horwitz, the director of the awards ceremony, was already waiting beside him.
There are camera lenses everywhere, so Eric couldn't possibly get mad on the spot, he just pointed to the red carpet scene outside, and said to Louis Horvitz in a cold tone: "Look, does it look like a group of lost sardines?" , I hope that the upcoming awards ceremony will not be as messy as the red carpet, and," Eric gestured to the hostess on the stage again, and said: "How old is she, is she 18 years old?"
After Eric finished speaking, he didn't bother to watch Louis Horvitz's reaction, so he took Nicole forward. Now that he has spoken, Eric believes that at least Robert Eger has to give him an explanation.
"I think this red carpet is not bad," Nicole held Eric's arm, hesitated, and said in a low voice, but these words were obviously lacking in confidence.
Eric knew that Nicole was trying to persuade him, he shook his head with a smile, and said, "Well, it seems that I am too harsh."
"No, you are the boss, and everything you say is right," Nicole immediately changed her attitude again, looking very nonchalant.
"You're not Julia in a Nicole mask, are you?"
Nicole smiled back and asked, "Do you want us all to be like Julia?"
"In no mood."
A few more photos were taken on the media wall before Eric and Nicole entered the hall together.
At this time, the outer hall of the Dorothy Chandler Theater was also overcrowded, and there was still a while before the award ceremony, and no one was seated in advance.
"Hey Eric, good afternoon."
Eric had just appeared, and Harvey came over with the crew of "The Horse Whisperer" as soon as he was done. Robert Redford's expression when he saw Eric was even more wonderful: "Eric, it's incredible, 6 $10,000, now it’s $80 million at the box office, how did you do it?”
"This must be a secret," Eric naturally knew that Robert Redford was referring to "The Blair Witch", which is still in theaters, and said, "However, I can be sure that next year's Sundance Film Festival, Park City It will definitely be overwhelmed."
Hearing this, Robert Redford smiled and said, "I think so too, but I really don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for Sundance."
The Sundance Film Festival has always advertised supporting newcomers and independent films. The emergence of "The Blair Witch", a dark horse at the box office, will definitely attract more mainstream Hollywood film companies to Park City to seek gold. increasingly commercialized.
After exchanging greetings with the guests in the hall for a while, Eric finally took time out. While Nicole was chatting with Meryl Streep, he called Carter Moon, and whispered: "Call Paul Roland, ask Carmen Kess where is now, don't let her go to the "Vanity Fair" party, um, send someone to bring her to Pointe Manor."
Although Nicole was the only one at the awards ceremony, the girls are likely to join in the excitement of the "Vanity Fair" party. Although the attitude of the women is basically gloating about Eric's being bitten, it is hard to imagine Carmen What happens when Kath shows up at the Vanity Fair party.
