When Alice heard what Charlotte said, she immediately turned around and looked back, but Eric's black car was already hidden in the late-night traffic.
Alice turned around in frustration, and said to Charlotte: "Why didn't you tell me just now, then I can ask him for an autograph."
"He doesn't want to admit it, so what's the use of saying it," Charlotte shrugged, and said with a little regret: "Hey, what a pity, if we can... we won't have to squeeze in that street again in my little apartment, and maybe go to Hollywood."
Alice blushed: "No wonder you said that just now."
Charlotte smiled and squeezed Alice's body: "Aren't you looking forward to it? In fact, I only judged that he belonged to Eric from the woman next to him. Did you hear that, he called that woman Catherine, I'm sure she's Katherine Bigelow, she was on nbc's "The Tonight Show" a few years ago to promote "Frightful Point", remember, you just came back from Colorado the other day, we stayed up late, just in time to watch to that day's show."
"I remembered, but Catherine Bigelow looks so young, isn't it that she is in her thirties?"
"Thirty-nine years old," Charlotte touched her face enviously and said: ←, "If I can still be so beautiful at this age, I will wake up laughing from my dream."
…
When the two women gossiped about Eric, Eric and Catherine returned to the car in the hotel, the woman remained silent for a long time, Eric finally couldn't help asking: "What are you thinking about?"
Catherine glanced at Eric, without hiding her thoughts, and said, "I'm thinking about staying away from you. You are too dangerous. Get along with each other for less than an hour. You coax those two girls into being willing to be with you together." You go to bed."
Eric said: "Maybe they recognized me. You know, I am very rich. This is a good opportunity for ordinary girls who are at the bottom of the metropolis."
"The girl with short hair recognized you, but the girl with the ponytail didn't, but she didn't resist the hint of the girl with short hair," Catherine easily broke the key point: "Of course, it has nothing to do with me. The important thing is..." The woman raised I raised my wrist and looked at my watch: "It's a quarter past ten. If I don't have work, I will rest at ten o'clock. This is the rule I set for myself. And, before that, I have never Been to nightclubs, no... wearing a white scarf, Betsy sneaks at my scarf before dinner and asks what happened, I don't know how to explain it."
Eric couldn't help touching his nose and said, "It sounds serious."
"Of course it is serious. The inertia of human instinct is very powerful. It takes years to build a rigorous lifestyle. But it may only take a week of indulgence to destroy it."
"I didn't take you to indulge?"
Catherine looked at Eric with complicated eyes, remembering the age gap between the two, and said, "Being with you is an indulgence in itself."
Eric distinguished: "But you invited me today?"
"I regret."
I don't know why, but after hearing what Catherine said, Eric suddenly remembered a certain Lolita's confident "twenty dollars". The beauty of women.
Catherine didn't know what Eric was thinking, so she turned her face and looked out the car window after saying this.
The two of them didn't talk until Soho Hotel, until they walked into the elevator together and reached the floor where Catherine lived. The woman took a few steps, but didn't leave the elevator immediately, turned around to block the elevator door and said to Eric: "Sorry, Eric Rick, I just overreacted, I shouldn't have said that."
Eric clutched his chest exaggeratedly: "I was scared to death. I thought you would never talk to me again. As a comfort, shouldn't there be a hug before good night?"
The little guilt that Catherine had just raised disappeared with Eric's expression.
This little color embryo!
With an unconscious smile on the corner of her mouth, the woman glared at Eric, turned around and left the elevator without looking back.
Early in the morning, Catherine still came to the restaurant on time, and Eric was already sitting there.
The woman hesitated just now, but Eric raised his head and said with a smile: "You don't really want to draw a line with me, do you?"
Catherine also felt that she was too sensitive, so she walked to Eric and sat down.
After having breakfast together, Eric asked the waiter to clear the table and said to Catherine, "I'm going back to Los Angeles today, when do you plan to go back?"
Catherine felt relieved, and asked easily: "I plan to stay for another month and go back at the end of February. Have you finished your work?"
"The war in the Middle East has already begun to wind down, everything has settled, I don't need to stay here anymore. And I need to start preparing for my next film."
"Is that the 'Tornado' you mentioned?"
Eric smiled and said, "Yeah, the preparations are starting now, it will be produced this year, and it will be released next summer."
"One year, the cycle is so long."
Eric explained: "In the future, special effects movies will become the mainstream of Hollywood, and you will find that this cycle is not long at all. In fact, this is also a disguised monopoly. As the investment in movies increases, the production cycle becomes shorter and shorter. In the long run, those independent production companies with extremely low risk tolerance will be eliminated in large numbers, and only a few major Hollywood studios can support such film projects."
Catherine said, "I'm not interested in telling me what to do."
Eric just wanted to tell the opposite woman the fact that all of Catherine's works in memory were independent films, and it also caused her to spend a lot of time in the financing process for each of her works.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Eric handed a thick file bag in front of Catherine in front of him: "This is the script of "Saving Private Ryan". We made some revisions to the results of our discussion, and took some time to take some shots in our spare time, a total of 76 shots, which you can use as a reference.”
Catherine heard that Eric had drawn 76 sub-shots, so she couldn't help but open it and take a look. She had seen Eric Hua's draft of the sub-shots in the study in the Pointe Manor, but now she opened it and looked. The style of the drawing is very different from the ones seen at that time, and it looks very scribbled, but the relevant camera scenes can be easily distinguished.
"It's so ugly," the woman said with a smile.
Eric said: "If I have enough time, I can also draw as precise as an industrial design drawing like you."
Catherine flipped through the draft in her hand and said, "But, it seems that I haven't agreed to accept this film yet?"
"Then think about it while watching it," Eric said, "But you can imagine that if you can even make a good war epic that is rarely touched by a female director, and win enough praise and box office, then in the future you In Hollywood, there will never be any discrimination based on gender, will there?"
When Catherine heard Eric's words, her movements paused, she was obviously very emotional, after thinking for a while, the woman quickly made up her mind: "Okay, I will take over this movie, but you must not interfere too much, I I don’t want to shoot it in the end, and others will attribute the result to you.”
Eric smiled and said, "Of course no problem, I can find another producer for you." (To be continued...)
