"Well, seeing how you are looking forward to it..." Elizabeth glanced at Eric who was sitting under the stage, and said courageously, "Finally, I would like to thank Eric Williams, but this guy really has everything. I didn’t do it, but it seems that everyone feels that they should thank him, so I have no choice but to go with the flow.”
Seeing the girl's appearance of trying to hide it, there was a booing sound from the audience, and Elizabeth's face became even more rosy because of this.
Because the ceremony has almost ended here, the final process has entered the time of free play.
The host Billy Crystal came onto the stage again, walked up to the girl who had already fled because of the booing of the audience, and joked: "Come on, Miss Murdoch, look at you holding the statuette It looks very strenuous, let me help you."
As he spoke, Christo supported Elizabeth, and helped hold the statuette in the girl's hand with one hand, then stepped forward and said into the microphone: "Okay, those executives of the Hollywood film company just found out with tears in their eyes that a certain This guy finally stopped making movies like crazy. So let's forget about Eric Williams, tonight's glory is already destined to belong to "The Silence of the Lambs."
Amidst the last burst of laughter, this year's Oscar Awards Ceremony finally came to an end ▲⊙.
"Ghost Love" only won a few small awards, so Firefly did not plan to hold a celebration banquet. Anyway, after the Oscars, as long as you still have energy, you can always find various parties to attend, and Eric directly announced that everyone disbanded. The "Silence of the Lambs" celebration party did not choose a hotel, but was held in a mansion of the Murdoch family in Beverly Hills.
Eric just got into his car when he saw a petite figure get in after him. Hugged Eric for a while and kissed: "Eric. The statuette. Where is the statuette?"
Drew did not appear at the ceremony this time, but the girl has been waiting outside. Eric tore off the girl who was sticking to him, and said with a smile, "Why do I have statuettes? They're all at Liz's place. They're still being interviewed later."
After Drew heard it, he jumped out of the car. Eric ignored the crazy girl and waved to Nicole who was not far away, and the girl came over. Got into the car.
Eric signaled the driver to the location of the "Silence of the Lambs" celebration party in Beverly Hills, then raised the baffle with the cab, and the car started slowly.
Nicole's mood at this time is very complicated. To the audience, the Oscars ceremony is just a lively Hollywood event, but for the stars who attended the awards ceremony in person, it is amazing to see other people on board to accept the awards one by one. No one will be willing to be a spectator any more if they enjoy victory and glory.
After the car was running smoothly, Eric looked at Nicole's expression beside him, and suddenly asked, "Are you envious?"
Nicole nodded honestly: "I'm just wondering when I'll get the Oscar statuette."
Eric reached out. Caressing the girl's delicate and glamorous face, the fingertips slide all the way to the girl's slender neck. Just take it back. Nicole felt Eric's gentle touch, and waves of small currents spread throughout her body. She thought he suddenly wanted to do something in the car, but seeing him withdraw his hand suddenly, she looked at Eric suspiciously.
Eric seemed to be able to feel the slippery feeling of his fingertips, and said with a smile: "You are so beautiful, Oscar has always been prejudiced against beautiful women."
Nicole put her arms around Eric's arm and leaned on him, and said flatteringly, "Can't you too?"
Eric stretched out his arms to embrace the girl, felt the soft touch of Nicole's slender waist through the silk dress, and said, "Of course, but do you really want to win an Oscar?"
Nicole said: "I don't believe any actress in Hollywood would not want to?"
"If you want an Oscar, it's not impossible." Seeing Nicole's bright eyes, Eric continued: "But you need two to three years to devote yourself to it, during which time you may not be able to take care of business." It’s something about the movie, so there is a big risk in it, and you may not win the Oscar in the end, and your personal value will also shrink because you put too much emphasis on literary films.”
Although the Oscars are very attractive, Nicole will never give up her development in commercial films for the sake of Oscars. Hearing what Eric said, Nicole was a little skeptical: "It shouldn't be like this?"
Eric explained: "Of course it will be like this for you. First of all, you have to choose an artistic film script with Oscar qualifications, and you must also ensure that you can produce an excellent film that meets the tastes of the Oscar judges. The production will be confirmed after trial screenings and other measures. After a movie is good enough, there is a long warm-up and publicity process. This standard process usually takes several months, so the energy you have to expend is not only as simple as shooting a movie, but you also need to participate in various events in person. PR publicity. After getting enough attention on various pre-film awards, it will be dedicated to Oscar PR. After completing this complete process, you may be nominated for an Oscar. But with your qualifications and age And appearance and other factors, it is impossible to win an award when you are nominated for the first time, so you have to go through this process at least two or three times, and even if you want to win an Oscar, you still need to pray that you will not meet a strong enough opponent .”
Although Nicole believed Eric's words, she still asked: "Although what you said is very reasonable, but looking back at the past few Oscars, it seems that the situation that you said did not happen. This year's Judy. Foster, last year...it seems to be that old lady, and counting forward, those winners don't seem to follow the process you said to claim the prize, right?"
Eric laughed and said: "This is a completely different matter. What I just said was about the standard process of aiming to hit the Oscars. In the previous movies, they may not even know that they will be nominated for Oscars before they starred in it. "
"Since none of them are like that, how... how did you sum up those things just now?"
Eric, of course, summed it up based on the memory of his previous life. In a few years, Oscar's public relations will become more and more standardized and formulaic, such as Nicole next to her. The original time and space. Nicole was the first to pass a "Moulin Rouge". She was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress, and then successfully reached the top through "The Hours" in the following year. And within a few years, Jennifer Lawrence went through this standard process again, first nominated for a "Winter's Bone", and then sealed with "The Silver Lining Behind the Clouds".
There are many examples of winning awards for a single film, such as Julia's "Never Compromise" or Charlize Theron's "The Devil". nominate. When the queens were sealed, they were already successful and famous, and they had a strong sense of presence in Hollywood.
Facing Nicole's endless questioning, Eric didn't continue to explain. His big hand wrapped around the girl's waist slipped down and slapped Nicole's buttocks: "Why do you have so many questions?"
Nicole twisted her body on top of Eric, laughed a few times, and temporarily gave up the idea of attacking Oscar. After a while, I thought of another thing: "Eric, do you think it's appropriate for me to star in an R-rated comedy like "Hot Boys", Pat said that this movie is too subversive for me .”
"You're beautiful. But you're not sweet enough. If you've been acting in romantic comedies, I guarantee you won't be able to compete with Julia and the others, so you might as well try to expand your play early and try some very individual characters. Although "Hot Girl" is an R-rated sequel, if the role of Sarah is performed well, it will be very brilliant."
When Nicole heard Eric mentioning Julia's name, she turned her head around, but she was a bit confused, and asked weakly, "You... don't you want me to compete with Julia Roberts?"
Eric asked back: "Do you think it is necessary for me to do this?"
Nicole was silent for a while, and she found that she had rarely guessed Eric's true thoughts, and of course it was the same this time. When she was thinking wildly, she felt that she was suddenly picked up by Eric and placed on his lap. She let out a soft cry, but shrank into Eric's arms obediently.
Eric pulled down the girl's lavender tube top dress, stroked the delicate and fair skin, and said in a tone of admiration: "It's really perfect, you know, Nicole, if I don't want you If Liya competes, I will lock you up in the villa in the Angle Manor and be my personal maid all the time."
Feeling Eric tearing off the nipple stickers on his chest bit by bit, and then reaching out to stroke them, Nicole leaned on Eric's shoulder with some panting, and said in a weak voice: "I'm sorry, Eric, I I shouldn't doubt you, can you forgive me?"
Eric still didn't stop the movement of his hands, and said: "The maid outfits are still kept, I miss you a little bit in those suits."
"I... ha, I'll find time to... wear it again and show you... look."
…
From the Holy Citizen Auditorium in downtown Los Angeles to Beverly Hills, it only took forty minutes, but it was more than an hour after Eric arrived at the "Silence of the Lambs" party.
Drew and Elizabeth, who came out to greet them, looked suspiciously at Nicole who was leaning against Eric. As "experienced people", of course, they could easily distinguish the unconcealable flush on Nicole's face, and they immediately lost sight of Eric. What a good face.
Because of Nicole's doubts about himself, Eric specifically asked the driver to go around the streets of Los Angeles a few more times, and ruthlessly trained the girl in the car. Although he didn't do anything substantive, Nicole still It's a bit exhausting to be played by Eric.
Facing the 'crusting' eyes of Drew and Elizabeth, Eric didn't change his face: "Liz, Nicole is a little tired, you can take her to find a room to rest for a while, I can go in by myself."
Elizabeth snorted angrily, but said to Nicole coldly, "Come with me, Miss Kidman."
After finishing speaking, Elizabeth turned around and walked towards the villa. Nicole glanced at Eric, saw the man nodded, and followed.
Seeing the two women leaving, Xiao Nizi threw herself on Eric, and asked with a smile: "Eric, is the car shaking feeling good? Shall we find time to try it too?"
Eric stretched out his hand and slapped the girl's buttocks, and said with a 'serious' face: "I think about these messy things all day long, it seems that I should clean it up."
Drew's smile didn't change: "Well, well, it's packed in the car, and I promise to cooperate."
The two walked into the villa, and the hall was full of people drinking and drinking. When they saw Eric appear, many people took the initiative to say hello, and Eric also greeted them one by one with a smile.
After chatting with Anthony Hopkins for a while, Eric saw Murdoch walking towards him with a smile through the crowd. Since it was the celebration party where his daughter won the best picture movie, it was impossible for Murdoch not to attend. Eric also saw Murdoch accompanied by two young people who were about his age.
After introducing each other, Eric knew that these two young men were Elizabeth's two younger brothers. Noticing that the two youths looked at him with a faint look of displeasure, Eric guessed that Murdoch must have used the allusion of "other people's children" to teach these two poor children. And that other person's child, who didn't run away, must be himself, he is purely lying on the gun.
However, although he was physically the same age, Eric was several rounds older than these two young boys mentally, so he didn't care about the negligence and hostility of the two stunned young men. After greeting casually, Murdoch took the initiative to drive the two young people away, took Eric to a sofa and sat down.
Looking at the two sons leaving, Murdoch couldn't help sighing: "If Lachlan and James are half as capable as you, I can safely hand over the property to them."
Eric vaguely remembered what Elizabeth had mentioned about her two younger brothers. Both of her younger brothers were standard playboys, and one of them was in jail because of drag racing. Hearing Murdoch's emotion, he changed his mind. Eric tentatively said, "Isn't there still Liz?"
Murdoch glanced at Eric, thinking of the relationship between his daughter and Eric, Murdoch was a little worried.
Although he is 100% willing to get Eric and Elizabeth together, and if the two can get married, with Eric's ability, they will definitely be a great help to News Corporation. But Eric was unwilling to marry his daughter more than a year ago when Firefly hadn't reached a large scale, so the possibility of this is even lower now.
What's more, with the current scale of Firefly and the ambition shown by Eric, Murdoch can be sure that even if Eric and Elizabeth come together, Firefly and News Corporation can only maintain a good cooperative relationship at best, instead of May become a vassal of News Corporation.
