"Wow, you don't have this urge now, do you?"
The girl nodded slightly, and her face became redder.
Eric's smile suddenly became bad: "Then you have to hold back, at least wait until we finish the party."
The girl raised her small fist, as if she wanted to punch Eric on the shoulder, but she retracted it in mid-air, and said in a low voice: "Eric, I think, after the party, you should put this dress on." And return the shoes."
"You don't like it?"
"Of course not, I... I like it very much," Famke Jansen bit his lower lip, and continued, "But, it's too expensive, so I can't accept it."
"Just like it," Eric said casually.
"Anyway, I... will return the dress tomorrow and return the money to you," the girl said firmly.
Eric turned his face away, looked at the girl with a serious look, his tone was faint, and seemed to carry some other meaning: "Don't worry, you won't be able to return."
The car stopped outside Coppola's manor, and as soon as he got out of the car, a black doorman greeted him, recognized Eric's identity with sharp eyes, immediately cracked his white teeth, and took Eric's car graciously Key, help Eric ↗, drive the car to the parking lot.
Sitting in the car, I couldn't see anything, but after getting out of the car, Famke Jansen was six feet three inches tall after wearing high heels, plus a rose-colored evening dress handmade by a famous designer As soon as he showed up, several security guards and doormen who were in charge of welcoming guests at the entrance of the Coppola family's mansion all showed amazing expressions.
Everyone has vanity, and of course Famke Jansen is no exception. The girl is enjoying the amazing gazes of the people at the door very much. More enjoyable than the biggest runway show she has ever walked. Because of that time. She is just a clothes rack, and at this time, expensive evening dresses have become her foil.
But Eric was still not satisfied. He looked at the girl's fair neck and said regretfully, "It would be even more beautiful if it was paired with a necklace, but today's time is tight, let's talk about it next time."
"I think this is pretty good," the girl said, holding Eric's arm intimately.
"But I like perfection, not good." Eric said, handing the invitation to the security guard in charge of the inspection, and then walked into the mansion of Coppola's family.
Although Hollywood has never been short of beauties, there are not many women who are as tall and beautiful as Famke Jansen. Therefore, the two of them just walked into the manor side by side, and the guests who were chatting in groups of three or four all agreed. Cast your eyes here. When some female guests saw Famke Jansen, they even subconsciously hugged the man next to him.
Many male guests quickly recognized Famke Jansen as a model from his demeanor and gait. In Hollywood, female models are very easy to get. However, these people have not had time to have many other ideas. He quickly noticed the young man next to the girl.
In Hollywood these days, it's impossible not to recognize Eric as long as you pay a little attention to current affairs in Hollywood. And those who can participate in Coppola's house party must have a certain identity, and the chance of recognizing Eric is even greater.
"Looks like Williams..."
"What does it look like, obviously, why is he here? I haven't seen him at parties before. I heard that he doesn't like to socialize, and at most he only attends parties inside Firefly."
…
"Wow, it's really Eric, he's so handsome, who is that woman?"
"He's a playboy, and it's perfectly normal to have a woman around. Say, Gilly, don't let his appearance fool you."
…
"Do you want to go up and say hello?"
"It's a bit abrupt."
"Go, let's go, anyway, it's just to say hello and get to know each other, there are not many opportunities like this."
Feeling the weird atmosphere, Eric couldn't help slowing down. This was the first time he attended a party after the incident at the beginning of the year, and it was a party with few acquaintances. It was hard for him to predict how these people would react. .
Seeing how the people around him pointed at him and Famke Jansen, Eric immediately regretted it. If he was treated coldly, it would be embarrassing for him to spread the word.
Just as he didn't know whether to continue walking forward or turn around and leave, the guests around who recognized the two of them whispered for a while, and soon two or three people came towards him and Famke.
"Hello, Mr. Williams, I'm Gary Frederickson, the executive producer of "The Godfather 3". Welcome to this party."
"Mr. Williams, hello, I'm Richard Bradley, playing a character in "The Godfather 3"."
"Mr. Williams, hello..."
Seeing three people walking towards him, Eric breathed a sigh of relief, but also greeted each other with a smile on his face.
Seeing Eric's reaction, those who were hesitant around saw Eric's reaction, and those who thought they had some weight all rushed over enthusiastically.
When Francis Coppola, who happened to notice the commotion here, came over curiously with Al Pacino and Nicolas Cage, he saw Eric surrounded by a circle of people enthusiastically.
Al Pacino was the first to recognize Eric from the gap in the crowd, said a few words to Coppola, and then walked towards the crowd. People outside quickly found Francis Coppola and the three. Consciously let go.
"Hey, Eric, long time no see, I really didn't expect you to be here tonight," Al Pacino warmly hugged Eric, then nodded to Famke Jansen before turning to Turning around: "Eric, let me introduce, this is Mr. Francis Coppola."
"Hello, Mr. Coppola, I'm Eric Williams. I like your "Godfather" series very much. I believe this "Godfather" sequel will definitely become a classic again."
"Thank you for your affirmation, Mr. Williams," Francis Coppola enthusiastically shook hands with Eric.
"Just call me Eric, Mr. Coppola, oh yes. This is Miss Famke Jansen." Eric gestured to the girl beside him.
Francis Coppola smiled and shook hands with the girl. Then he glanced at his nephew beside him, and Nicolas Cage, who was already eager to try, hurried forward: "Hello, Mr. Williams, I'm Nicholas Coppola."
Compared to Francis Coppola, Eric is of course more familiar with Nicolas Cage. Although Cage was once known as the king of bad movies, it is undeniable that Nicolas Cage has shot quite a few classic movies. .
"Hello. I think it's more kind to call you Mr. Cage. I really like your "Moonlight Sultry". Both you and Ms. Cher's performances are very good."
"Thank you, Eric, just call me Nick," Nicolas Cage held Eric's hand slightly, obviously feeling a little excited. This detail made Eric feel a little strange, and the other party seemed to be too attentive. After thinking about it for a while, I changed my mind and thought about it. Eric soon realized why he had received this invitation. Nicolas Cage is obviously eyeing the position of the leading actor in "Ghostly Love" like Bridget Fonda did.
I looked up and down Nicolas Cage at this time. At this time, Cage was only 26 years old, his hairline was not as far back as it was 20 years later, his hair was thick, his eyes were deep, and his whole temperament was a little melancholy .
Noticing that Eric was looking at Cage, Francis Coppola stood aside with a smile and did not disturb him. Al Pacino also knew that Eric, a smart little guy, must have realized something, and stood smiling. on the side. Although it felt a bit weird to be scrutinized by someone five or six years younger than him, Cage also stood there tactfully and did not speak.
The whole party was to celebrate the upcoming launch of "The Godfather 3". At this time, the two important tasks of the director and the actor stopped talking, and the people around them also became quiet in a sensible manner.
After more than a minute, Eric thought about it carefully, combined with the performance in the "City of Angels" that Cage once starred in, finally made up his mind, and stretched out his hand again: "So, Nick, you Are you willing to join "Human and Ghost Love"?"
Cage opened his eyes in disbelief. As a child of the Coppola family, he understands better than ordinary people that the lead role in a big-budget commercial movie is not so easy to get. This is not just a question of acting skills, it even involves Multi-party game. Because a successful commercial film can completely turn an unknown little Hollywood actor into a world-class superstar. Although there are many hot movies in Hollywood every year, most of the leading roles are occupied by already famous leading actors, leaving few opportunities for newcomers.
Therefore, although he has already obtained the audition opportunity for "Ghostly Love" and has full confidence in his acting skills, he still took advantage of the opportunity of "The Godfather 3" to hold a party, and urged his uncle to help send a message to Eric. Invitation, I want to help promote the influence of the Coppola family in Hollywood, hoping to increase the success rate of getting this role.
Unexpectedly, things would become so simple in the end, which made him want to pinch himself severely for a moment, this must be a dream.
Before Cage had time to pinch himself, Al beside him had already clenched his fist and hammered Cage's chest: "Lucky boy, do you still need to hesitate?"
The shock from his chest finally woke up Nicolas Cage, he held Eric's hand and shook it vigorously: "Of course, Eric, thank you."
Of course, Eric will not just let it go. After "The Love of Ghosts", a new Hollywood star will appear in the Coppola family. How could he let such a favor go so easily? Therefore, let go of Kay. After Qi's hand, Eric turned to Francis Coppola and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Coppola, Nick is a child of the Coppola family. I believe his acting skills will not let me down, yes Bar?"
Eric's words seemed ordinary, but some people around him quickly realized that Eric was implying that the Coppola family owed him a favor, but they just didn't know that Francis Coppolaken He refuses to admit it, but the favor needs to be paid back. In the future, the greater the success Cage will achieve with "Ghost Love", the more important this favor will be.
Cage saw the reactions on the faces of some people around him, pondered a little, and realized the meaning of Eric's words.
He looked at his uncle nervously. Although this uncle treated him well, Francis Coppola had arranged several small roles for Cage in his own movies when he first debuted. However, he was not Francis Coppola. Coppola's son.
Unexpectedly, Francis Coppola hesitated for a few seconds, then held Eric's hand with a free and easy smile: "Of course, Eric, Nick will definitely not let you down, if he It is also an honor for the Coppola family to achieve some achievements in the world."
As expected, you are one of the four major directors in Hollywood. No matter how generous or open-minded you are, ordinary people can’t compare with you. When the people around heard Coppola’s words, they felt emotional in their hearts. Immediately, they didn’t know who took the lead, and they applauded It snapped.
Eric let go of Coppola's hand with a slightly embarrassed face. Well, he seemed to be a villain who wanted to repay his favor, but he didn't regret it. He would be an idiot if he didn't stretch out his hand at this time. Do charity.
only…
He glanced at the smiling and clapping girl beside him.
Stupid woman, why are you applauding, do you see my joke
Famke Jansen was keenly aware of the 'murderous look' in Eric's eyes, and his slender hands froze in front of him for a moment before he realized what was going on. He quickly and affectionately took Eric's arm, his soft chest still It rubbed against it twice indiscriminately, like a cat that got into trouble and begged its owner for trouble.
"Okay, Eric, let's go in, let me introduce you to some people." After a while, Francis Coppola smiled and made a gesture of invitation, and the few people walked and chatted, and walked towards the villa of the mansion go.
"To be honest, Eric, you should go to more parties, which will help you understand Hollywood in more detail. Oh, by the way, your 'Liberty City' in Malibu is really spectacular. Many people are now Think of it as a landmark building in Malibu. When you invite us to visit, I really want to see what a mansion built with more than 20 million US dollars looks like," Francis Coppola walked beside Eric, like a Talking like a familiar elder.
Eric also kept smiling and agreeing, looking around at everything in the manor. When he was more than ten meters away from the villa, Eric suddenly stopped and looked in one direction curiously, but the slim man The figure quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Noticing Eric's strangeness, several people followed Eric's gaze curiously, but did not see anything strange. (To be continued..)
