"Then what are you going to do?" Joanna asked Eric after reading the email carefully.
Eric smiled easily and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. I've always been single."
Joanna's slender eyes blinked a few more times, and she almost understood. Eric is not married, so having a child ahead of time is not a big deal. At most, he will be criticized by some conservatives. With his current power and fame, it will not cause substantial harm to him at all.
"So... what about the movie, will it really be affected?" Joanna pointed to the email.
Eric smiled and patted Joanna's hand: "Don't worry, it won't have much impact. You don't have to worry about these things, just concentrate on taking care of the little guy. If you are bored and want to work , I can arrange a movie or two for you, or if you want to do something else, don’t you always chat with Emily about fashion, are you interested in designers?”
Joanna shook her head, took Eric's arm and leaned gently on him, and said, "It's just a casual chat with Emily, I'm not like you, I can only act, nothing else."
"Forget it, just tell me what you want to do."
"Well, ￥∧," Joanna responded in a low voice, and after a moment of silence, she said again: "Eric, I told my parents about Xia Xia's birth."
Eric turned to look at the woman: "What did they say?"
"They didn't say anything, they just hoped that I could live a better life."
Eric shook Joanna's hand and said, "I assure you, there is also Xia Xia. You will always have a good life."
"I know." Joanna nodded. Said: "There is one more thing."
"What?"
"I... my younger sister is going to come to the United States, and my parents hope that I can take care of her."
Eric was a little puzzled. This was the first time he heard Joanna mention that he had a younger sister: "Why haven't I heard from you?"
"I didn't think it was necessary to tell you," Joanna looked at Eric and said, "Her name is Eva, Eva Pakula, she...she is one year younger than you."
One year younger than myself, that is to say. Eva Pakula was just twenty-two years old.
Eric turned his thoughts around, and subconsciously asked: "Is Eva as beautiful as you?"
As soon as these words came out, Eric felt his arm was pinched by Joanna, and immediately rubbed his arm and let out a sound of pain.
Joanna let go of her fingers, glared at Eric, but still said softly: "Everyone who knows us, Eva is the most like me, especially the eyes."
Eric didn't dare to talk nonsense this time, and nodded in agreement: "Good eyes, good eyes. Your eyes are the most beautiful, that. What is Eva going to do in the United States, can I help?"
"I originally wanted you to help me, but I'll let it go now, I will keep Aiwa away from you," Joanna said unceremoniously.
Eric immediately showed a flattering smile: "Well, you can arrange it yourself, and I won't care. Well, if you need help, you can find someone else, just say I said it."
Joanna nodded, sighed again, and said, "Eva wanted to come here a few years ago, but I insisted that she finish her university studies in Poland."
Eric asked, "What major did she study?"
"English," Joanna said, and then looked at Eric: "Her English is better than mine, no... can't speak that weird accent you like."
For the filming of "Tornado", Joanna received language training for a long time, just to get rid of her accent. However, after filming "Tornado", Joanna's accent returned to normal. Unclear English with a tongue-in-cheek sound sounds really weird, but Eric likes Joanna's pronunciation for no reason.
While the two were talking, Eric's mobile phone next to him rang.
When the phone was connected, a female voice came from over there: "Hello, is this Mr. Williams?"
This mobile phone is a new number assigned by Eric when he came to New York. Not many people know about it. Hearing this familiar but unfamiliar female voice, Eric asked suspiciously: "It's me, may I ask you?" who?"
"Mr. Williams, I'm Michelle Simmons. I just came back from Europe. Mr. Fishman answered your original number. He told me that I can use this phone number to reach you."
Eric immediately thought of the other party and said, "Michelle, is the trip to Europe going well?"
"Yes, Mr. Williams, I have found several actors with good qualifications according to your request. They have come to Los Angeles with me now. I would like to ask you... can you arrange a time to meet them?"
Eric thought about it for a moment, and said: "Well, you can fax their information to me first, I'll take a look first, and you can write down the number."
Michelle Simmons may have known something, and did not object, saying: "Then wait a moment, I will find a pen."
After a while, Michelle Simmons wrote down the fax number and hung up the phone.
Joanna saw Eric hang up the phone and asked, "Is there any urgent matter in Los Angeles that you need to deal with?"
Eric shook his head and said with a smile: "No, don't worry, I said that I will try my best to stay here with you for a while."
With a smile on the corner of Joanna's mouth, she stood up and said, "I just wanted to hear your fax, so I'll get it for you?"
"Well, it might take a while," Eric said.
After Joanna left, Eric looked at the mail on the computer screen, thought for a while, and wrote back a letter to Jerry Bruckheimer, then closed the browser, and started typing the story setting of "Charlie's Angels" again. .
After waiting for more than half an hour, Joanna didn't come back, but Virginia came out with a stack of faxes: "Hey, there are so many beauties, what are you going to do?"
Eric picked up the file with a smile and said, "Didn't I tell you that I plan to change the "Charlie's Angels" back then. Make a female action movie."
Virginia sat down in the chair Joanna had just placed. He picked up Eric's coffee cup and took a few sips. Asked, "Your next movie?"
Eric looked at the information in his hand, didn't realize the deep meaning in Virginia's words, nodded casually and said: "Yes, the next movie."
Virginia immediately sullenly sullenly, said: "No matter how you look at it, it feels like you want to mess with the heroine under the guise of a movie, "Charlie's Angels", huh, I have seen it. Just three It's just a little bitch showing off."
Only then did Eric realize that Virginia thought he would direct "Charlie's Angels" himself, and she was not angry when she saw the woman's angry appearance, but felt that the originally docile little woman became a hot mom after giving birth. It's not that the body is hotter, but the temper is hotter.
Pushing some of the story settings written in the notebook to Virginia, he said, "This is a very serious job, and I only plan to write the screenplay, and I don't intend to direct it myself."
Virginia operated the mouse to pull the document to the top. After reading a few paragraphs briefly, he pulled the notebook towards him with interest.
Eric saw the woman's movements. Holding the stack of actress information passed by Michelle Simmons, she moved aside and looked through it again.
After a while, Eric's eyes stopped on a piece of actor information.
Virginia also suddenly said at this time: "Eric, Jill Monroe, a talented girl with a high IQ, and Sabrina Wells, the heroine, are not bad, but I think The setting of the role of Kelly Garrett is a bit far-fetched. I have also watched Bruce Lee's action movies and know that kung fu is very good, but Kelly Garrett died unexpectedly when her parents were six years old. Adopted by an old Chinese man who opened a martial arts gym in Chinatown, and then learned a lot of kung fu, this won't work. Doesn't Kelly Garrett have other relatives? Even if there are no other relatives, according to the federal adoption law, there is no It may be adopted by an old man Hua Yi, and many reasons do not make sense."
Eric smiled slightly as he listened to Virginia's thoughts. These are just the settings he brainstormed and will definitely be revised to a large extent in the future. However, after looking at the information in his hand, Eric smiled and said: "Since it doesn't work, then change it, maybe this girl can have a Chinese grandpa who knows kung fu, which is reasonable, what do you think?" How about it?"
Virginia looked at Eric: "A Chinese grandpa who knows kung fu?"
Eric smiled and said, "Yes, I happen to have the profile of an actress here, and she has a quarter of Chinese descent, which is very suitable."
With that said, Eric jumped out the information of the actress and put it on the round table.
Virginia picked it up, and saw the photo of the girl with a bit of elegance and glamor on the information at a glance, and then her eyes fell on the girl's basic information, spelling the girl's name softly: "Kate. Beckinsale."
Eric has a smile on his lips. The role of Kate Garrett in "Charlie's Angels" is Eric's role of "army" for the angel group. Then, who else has the title of "violent Barbie" in Hollywood than in his previous life? Kate Beckinsale is more suitable.
At this time, Virginia was beside Eric and exclaimed: "Wow, a top student at Oxford University, no, according to her age, she should be a sophomore now, hehe, since she went to Hollywood, she probably is a student I can't go down."
"Okay, don't dislike other high-achieving students because you don't have a talent for learning," Eric pulled the information from Virginia's hand.
Virginia didn't care either, and said with a smile: "I don't know yet, your other little beauty, Jennifer Connelly, didn't she have a degree at Stanford."
Eric retorted: "Then you must first have the strength to get into Stanford, do you have it?"
"I don't care." Virginia stood up indifferently, and asked again: "What do you want to eat tonight?"
"I can eat whatever my son eats, is that okay?"
"Bah, forget about starving to death," Virginia blushed, cast a blank stare at Eric and left.
With a smile on the corner of Eric's mouth, he shrugged and turned his gaze to the information in his hand again.
Michelle Simmons didn't find many candidates, only eight people. Although the information was very detailed, it was almost the same soon. Eric thought that he would never meet "acquaintances" again, but turned to In the last one, a familiar photo of a Latin girl with a bit of wildness appeared in front of him.
Penelope Cruz!
Eric raised his eyebrows in surprise, raised his head and took the notebook over to look at the character setting of another angel 'Sabrina Wells'. Although it somewhat subverted the image in memory, but think about it carefully, Penelope Cruz's temperament and image fit well with the role of Sabrina Wells.
As for Jill Monroe, the last "intelligent role" role, of course it belongs to Charlize Theron who has already signed the contract.
Eric didn't think much about it, so he picked up the mobile phone next to him, dug out the address book from his laptop, found the contact information of Michelle Simmons, and dialed it.
The call was quickly connected, and Michelle Simmons seemed a little surprised when he heard Eric's voice, but he still asked: "Mr. Williams, I have already sent all the information, have you seen it? "
"I see," Eric looked at the two documents on the round table in front of him, and said, "Kate Beckinsale and Penelope Cruz, these two actresses, in addition to the documents in my hand, also Any other information?"
Michelle Simmons paused for a moment, as if she was looking for something, and quickly said: "Most of the information about the two has been passed on, and Penelope Cruz's resume is very complete. She was in the Biggs Luna's "Ham, Ham" was a newcomer, "Ham, Ham" won the Silver Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival last year, and Penelope Cruz's performance was also affirmed by many judges. As for Kate Beckinsale, although she only played some small roles, she participated in the filming of a strong Shakespeare comedy "Much Ado About Nothing" last year. This movie will be released next month. The male and female protagonists are three years ago Kenneth Branagh for Best Actor at the Oscars and Emma Thompson for Best Actress at this year's Oscars. In addition, the popular Michael Keaton, Keanu Reeves and others also participated. The production company is With the intention of hitting the Academy Awards next year, the production should be very good, and to be able to participate in such a movie, this girl must have good abilities, and I also auditioned for her once when I was in the UK.” (To be continued. ..)
