After thinking about the wording, Eric said: "Since your father asked you to play the role of Mary Corleone, I think you must have participated in the audition before?"
"Of course," Sofia Coppola nodded.
"So, how did your father evaluate your audition results?" Eric asked persuasively.
Hearing this question, the girl was obviously a little guilty: "Father said, my acting is...not bad."
Sofia Coppola's hesitation instead allowed Eric to continue the topic without any pressure: "You grew up on the set of Coppola's house and have seen countless actors' performances. You must be able to realize your acting skills to the end. How about it?"
"I think that if you rehearse more during filming, you will definitely be able to meet the requirements. Moreover, and my father also said that it's okay even if the acting is not good. After all, this is the first time," Sophia Ke Paula looked up, looking directly at Eric confidently.
Eric said with some emotion: "It can be seen from this how much your father loves you, and what the "Godfather" series means to your father, you must know better than me. This series is directed by you. The glory of Francis Coppola, I think no matter to any other actor in "The Godfather 3", ←, your father would never say 'it's okay to act badly', only you are so tolerant. In this case, you should think about your father even more. "The Godfather 3" is the end of the "Godfather" series. I believe that anyone in the Coppola family is unwilling to let it appear flawed because of a certain actor's performance. Yes ?"
Sofia Coppola heard Eric's words. He bowed his head and fell silent.
Eric stroked the girl's back and patted it lightly. Continued: "In Hollywood. As a daughter of the Coppola family, you have more opportunities than anyone else. If you are really interested in acting, I think it is best to start with small roles like your cousin. Start acting, and slowly hone your acting skills."
After a while, Sofia Coppola raised his head, and Eric could see from the girl's expression that she had already made a decision. So he smiled at the girl.
Unexpectedly, Sofia Coppola didn't appreciate it so much, and scratched Eric's waist with her small hand in dissatisfaction: "Eric, everyone says you are a playboy, as a playboy, see After getting a woman, shouldn't you be courteous with a glib tongue? Your reaction is not right at all."
This topic changed a bit abruptly, and Eric didn't know how to answer it for a while.
Seeing Eric's speechless appearance, the girl's face darkened, and she said with some inferiority complex: "Okay, I know. I'm not that pretty, but you don't have to look like this, do you?"
Eric shook his head quickly: "No. Sophia, you are very beautiful. If you don't believe me, you can ask your father."
"How could my father say that I'm not beautiful?" The girl gave him a blank look, but didn't pursue the issue any longer.
After the song ended, the crowd on the dance floor began to leave, and Eric also took Sofia Coppola's little hand and walked out.
"Eric, I decided to follow your advice and start acting from a small role," the girl at the long table took a glass of red wine and gestured to Eric: "I hope we can cooperate in the future."
"It will definitely," Eric clinked glasses with the girl without changing his smile, but added in his heart: "Unless you are not an actor."
"Then, have fun, I'm going to talk to my dad about it now," the girl turned and left after she finished speaking.
After the girl left, Eric looked around but couldn't find Famke Jansen, thinking that the girl must have gone outside the villa.
Coupled with another thing in mind, Eric walked out decisively.
Just be sure to confirm it.
All the way to deal with the guests who came up to say hello, Eric quickly came to the garden.
…,
"No, no more, Mr. Brandt, I... I..." The girl gave me a few clicks, but she felt her head spinning, and she fell obliquely to one side.
Tony Brandt quickly supported the girl, let Jennifer Connelly lean on him, and greedily rubbed the girl's hand on the soft waist. If there were no other guests nearby, he probably would have Can't help but grab the soft pair.
Although it is not that no one has seen Tony Brandt get the girl drunk, but this kind of thing often happens at Hollywood parties, and Jennifer Connelly has not resisted much from the beginning to the end. The guests naturally regarded this matter as a behavior of your own will.
"Miss Connelly, Miss Connelly?" Tony Brandt whispered in Jennifer Connelly's ear twice, the girl glanced at him with almond eyes, and seemed to be aware of her current situation. The little hand subconsciously pushed back on the middle-aged man, but he didn't have any strength at all.
This made Tony Brandt completely relieved, and he raised his voice enough for the surrounding guests to hear: "Miss Connery, let me take you home."
Of course, the girl could not have any answer, and some of the male guests who heard Tony Brandt's words just winked at their companions ambiguously, and at the same time, they were a little envious of Tony Brandt's beauty. He frowned, but didn't intervene.
Tony Brandt had just put Jennifer Connelly on his shoulders, and was about to take a shortcut and walk out, when a cold voice sounded: "Sir, where are you taking her?"
Tony Brandt's body stiffened, and he cursed secretly for meddling, but he had to temporarily put the girl on the chair next to him, turned around, and saw Eric with one hand in his trouser pocket and the other holding a glass of red wine , looking between him and the girl blankly.
"It's Mr. Williams, nice to meet you, my name is Tony Brandt, and I'm also a director," Tony Brandt recognized Eric, calmed down quickly, and stretched out his hand to Eric.
Eric just looked at the arm stretched out to him, raised his chin expressionlessly towards Jennifer Connelly, and asked, "Where are you taking her?"
Tony Brandt withdrew his hand in embarrassment. He looked at the girl behind him. If he lets go right now. Maybe nothing will happen again.
Unfortunately, in the process of getting Jennifer Connelly drunk, Tony Brandt also inevitably drank some wine. At this time, he was already 70% drunk. Thinking of the girl's beautiful face, his lust completely occupied him for a while. Brain, said: "Mr. Williams, are you talking about Jenny? She is my girlfriend, accidentally drunk, I plan to take her back."
Eric made a choice in his heart, looked at the drunken girl, and couldn't help but said: "She is drunk, of course you can say whatever you want, but I absolutely don't believe that she will be your girlfriend."
Tony Brandt was stunned for a moment, and then spread his hands in a ridiculous way: "Mr. Williams, Jenny is coming with me..."
"Shut up. Don't use the name Jane!" Eric suddenly raised his voice as if he had been stimulated by something.
Tony Brandt trembled in fright. The drunkenness has also sobered up a lot, but at this time, because of Eric's words just now, the surrounding guests also came over curiously, and they recognized Eric's identity a little bit more excitedly, and saw him and Tony Bran Te seemed to be about to start a conflict, but after thinking about it, he didn't stay to watch the fun, turned around and left the garden in a hurry.
Seeing everyone gathered around, Tony Brandt, who was riding a tiger, quickly raised his voice: "Mr. Williams, you are so rude. Miss Connery came with me, she is not my girlfriend, Is it still your girlfriend? So many people here can testify that Miss Connery and I are together, what else do you want?"
The surrounding guests looked at the three people in the field. Most of them did not know Tony Brandt, but Eric's identity was indeed well-known. At this time, when they heard Tony Brandt's words, everyone thought of Eric's playboy rumors, and pointed at Eric one after another, but due to Eric's current identity, no one dared to step forward to help him. Tony Brandt spoke.
Tony Brandt saw that the situation around him seemed to be on his side, and he was drunk and confident, and immediately said: "Mr. Williams, don't you think you are making trouble out of no reason? My girlfriend is drunk, I just If you want to take her away, why do you obstruct it?"
Click—
With a soft bang, the goblet that broke in two fell to the ground, and the crisp sound of the glass colliding with the gravel pavement made the people around them jump.
Eric looked blankly at the wound cut by the goblet on his hand, and whispered as if whispering: "You can't take her away, at least wait until she wakes up, if she admits that she is your girlfriend , then... I apologize."
Seeing Eric lowering his head, Tony Brandt thought that the other party was guilty, and his voice became louder: "Mr. Williams, you have no right to do this, Jane...Miss Connery is drunk and suffering, need to have a rest."
After Tony Brandt finished speaking, he gave Eric a menacing look, and turned around to help the girl who was lying on the chair again. At this moment, the crowd made a gap, and a group of seven or eight people walked away anxiously. came in.
"Eric, what's wrong with your hand?" Famke Jansen, who came with Francis Coppola, saw Eric's bleeding right hand at a glance, and came up worriedly, grabbed Ai Rick raised his palm to check it, and quickly pressed the wound that was still bleeding, while Sofia Coppola, who also came over from the other side, untied the silk scarf around her neck that matched the dress, and Famke. Jason helped Eric bandage up together.
Seeing that Eric was fine, and looking at the emotions in the field, Francis Coppola pulled one person over and asked, "Coret, what's going on?"
The guest named Kerrett happened to see Tony Brandt pouring wine on the girl, and at this moment, Francis Coppola's daughter and another tall girl were carefully helping Eric to treat the wound. He quickly understood the situation, and immediately explained how Tony Brandt got the girl drunk and what happened just now.
The moment Francis Coppola appeared, Tony Brandt felt a bad feeling in his heart. The aura that had just been built up was wiped away, and he was completely sober from the drunkenness.
Before Tony Brandt could figure out how to remedy it, Jennifer Connelly, who was originally slumped on the chair, made a weak voice: "Water, I want... water."
Although the voice was very low, it attracted the attention of many people.
Sofia Coppola saw Jennifer Connelly's beautiful face, and the girl was still very concerned about gossip. After recognizing Jennifer Connelly. I remembered the scattered news in the newspaper some time ago. Some little jealousy said to Eric: "Wow, Eric, your other girlfriend."
The girl's unintentional words with a taste of snacks made Famke Jansen's movements stagnate, and Tony Brandt's legs went limp when he heard these words, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Although Francis Coppola knew that Eric was bothered, he didn't care as much about gossip as his daughter did. Francis Coppola didn't know how to deal with it when he learned what had happened from Kerrett. After all, although Tony Brandt's methods were a little tricky. But if Jennifer Connelly disagrees, she will definitely not be easily drunk. Therefore, Coppola originally thought that Eric had taken a fancy to Tony Brandt's female companion, so he impulsively called "hero" save the beauty'.
But at this time, Francis Coppola immediately believed it when he heard what his daughter said, and asked Tony Brandt in a stern tone: "Tony, how could you do such a thing?"
"Mr. Coppola, it was a misunderstanding. Miss Connery was just accidentally drunk, and I was about to take her home."
Francis Coppola even tried to quibble when he heard Tony Brandt in this situation. The tone was more severe: "There are so many people here, do you still have to lie?"
"No, I didn't, I..." Tony Brandt waved his hand quickly, and then looked at Eric: "Mr. Williams, this is really a misunderstanding. If I had known..."
Eric sighed, ignored Tony Brandt, stepped forward and hugged the drunk girl by the waist, and then said to Francis Coppola: "Sorry, Mr. Coppola, I have caused you trouble .”
"It's nothing," Coppola said, and said to her daughter: "Sofia, take Eric to find a room, and let this... miss rest, there should be hangover soup in the kitchen."
"Eric, come with me," the girl immediately led Eric away from the crowd.
Eric walked a few steps before he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and said to the tall slender girl, "Fami, you come too."
Famke Jansen, who originally thought he was about to be left in such an embarrassing way, heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly followed through the crowd. The guests who saw this situation inevitably showed envious expressions. They really are playboys, holding one in their arms and not letting the other go.
After Eric's figure disappeared, Francis Coppola said to Tony Lambert: "Tony, let's go, don't come here again."
"No, Mr. Coppola, this is really a misunderstanding. I didn't..." Seeing that Coppola was about to turn around and leave, Tony Brandt didn't dare to quibble anymore, and he grabbed Coppola's arm and begged : "I'm sorry, Mr. Coppola, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I'm going to apologize to Mr. Williams, and apologize to Miss Connery, Mr. Coppola, give me another chance."
Coppola shook his arm in disgust, but failed to shake off Tony Brandt, so he could only say: "Tony, let's go, change your heroine and finish your movie. If you keep pestering me, I will beat you up." Got Cliff on the phone."
Hearing that Coppola was going to call the investor of his film, Tony Brandt let go of his hand immediately, losing his hold, and Coppola left without looking back.
The guests who were originally watching the excitement finally looked at the distraught middle-aged man with pity. Today, when the news got out, Francis Coppola personally kicked him out, and offended Hollywood upstarts Eric Williams and Tony Bran Don't even think about messing around in Hollywood in the future. After all, if anyone wants to cooperate with him again, he will definitely wonder whether the Coppola family or Eric Williams will have any ideas. Hollywood has no shortage of people, and not many people are willing to take such a risk. risk.
…
"Eric, put her on the bed, I've already asked the servant to serve the sober soup," Sofia Coppola took Eric all the way to the second floor of the villa, opened a room and let Eric go in.
"Thank you, Sophia," Eric put Connery on the big bed, looked around, and then realized: "This is not your room, is it?"
Sophia hurriedly stuffed a few small clothes into the closet, and explained with a reddish face: "Yes."
Feeling the girl's embarrassment, Eric stopped looking around, sat down by the bed, and looked at the pretty blushing face on the bed. I hadn't seen her for a year. The girl's face was thinner, but it was more beautiful and gentle. charming.
A middle-aged maid dragged a tray to the door and looked into the room. Famke Jansen, who was standing at the door, took the tray and said, "I'll do it."
The maid nodded, handed the tray to the tall slender girl, and turned to leave.
"Eric," Famke Jansen handed over the hangover soup.
Eric took the soup bowl and looked up at the girl: "Sorry, Fami."
Famke Jansen forced a smile and said, "It's okay."
…
Drowsy, Jennifer Connelly felt that she was put on a big soft bed, and she vaguely thought of some situations before she got drunk. She felt that something was wrong and wanted to struggle to get up, but she couldn't move Come on with a little effort.
Soon, she felt that she was supported by someone, and a strange and familiar voice rang in her ears. She tried to open her eyes to look, and the girl quickly showed a slightly self-deprecating smile. (To be continued..)
