What Eric thought of was not a real character, but his favorite female character in the "Resident Evil" series, the mysterious, beautiful, and powerful Chinese-American agent Ada Wang.
Looking again at the Chinese girl occupying his seat, Eric found that the other party's attire was exactly the same as the image of Ada Wang in the novel version of "Resident Evil" he wrote based on the game plot over the years. In the novel version, Eric's description of Ida Wang did not follow the cheongsam outfit in the previous generations of the game, but the short-haired red queen outfit in the sixth generation of the game.
Noticing someone approaching, the girl who lowered her head slightly as if she was absent-minded raised her head, and saw Eric looking at her with a smile, and immediately showed a bewildered expression.
The two faced each other face to face, and Eric also recognized each other's identity. In his memory, Kelly Hu, a Chinese-American who played the role of Death Girl in "X-Men 2", although Death Girl has the same powerful self-recovery ability as Wolverine in the Marvel comics universe, It's a pity that there is no halo protection for the protagonist in the movie version, and soy sauce was used after just a few scenes.
Noticing Eric looking at herself without saying a word, Hu Kaili felt even more disturbed. Although "Resident Evil" has not yet been approved, the news has spread all over Hollywood. Hu Kaili's agent thought that she might be able to compete~∠, and take the role of Ida Wang, so when she learned that Eric was about to attend the show of a clothing company in New York Fashion Week, she spent a lot of effort to get a An invitation letter.
Although the Brighton fashion company run by Emily's family is only a mid-range clothing brand, because of Eric's relationship, Emily invited several top Hollywood stars to attend. Hu Kaili is not well-known like Hu Kaili, let alone a starlet of Chinese descent, of course it is impossible to get a front row position. You can't even spend money.
but. Hu Kaili's agent came up with an idea for her, that is to enter the venue early, find a seat with Eric's name on it, take off the label with his name and sit on it, so that she can get a contact with Eric. Chance. This is also a very common way for many small stars who can't get VIP invitations to compete with big names in fashion shows, because big names often come later, some small stars and small models who want to be famous use this method. method, waited for the owner to enter the venue and found that his seat was occupied, but the fashion show was about to start. So I can only squeeze with the people in the front row. As long as you don't encounter a particularly serious brand, this method can often succeed.
The front row of many fashion shows is often very crowded, and most of the time it is not because there are not enough seats, but because there are more of these rushers.
It seems that the plan never changes quickly. Hu Kaili, who had made all the plans, did not expect Eric to come in so early in advance.
Eric looked at Kaili Hu's flustered appearance, shook his head slightly, and said, "Miss, this is not right, Ada is a woman who will remain 100% calm and confident even in the face of desperation."
Hu Kaili saw the faint smile on the corner of Eric's mouth, and knew that the other party was not angry. Soon calmed down from the panic, Yingying got up and stretched out her small hand to Eric: "Hello, Mr. Williams, my name is Kelly Hu."
"Hello," Eric shook hands with the other party, looked at the name of Nicholas Cage written on the seat beside him, sat down casually, and gestured to Kaili Hu who was still standing there to sit down.
Hu Kaili sat down with some restraint, remembering what Eric said just now, she stood up slightly, but the faint unconfidence in her expression still lingered, so she even forgot all the speeches she had prepared clean and dry.
In Hollywood, after a long period of fighting and political factors, black people barely got a place. They can no longer only play negative roles such as thieves and liars. However, since the birth of Hollywood, Asians have never been in this field. What a weighty status. If it weren't for Ada Wang's Chinese identity in "Resident Evil", Kelly Hu wouldn't have any confidence sitting here to meet this young tycoon who has suddenly risen in Hollywood in recent years. Even so, she was still very worried that the movie version would change Ida Wang into a white person or another race.
Although we met for the first time, as a traveler from the east, Eric's closeness to Kaili Hu was almost instinctive. Seeing that the girl didn't speak, Eric asked: "Miss Hu, I seem to have seen you somewhere , are you an actor?"
Kelly Hu nodded quickly: "Yes, Mr. Williams, you can call me Kelly. I played a role in "Growing Pains". In addition, I played a role in the eighth "Friday the 13th". Rock's "Running Man" and the biopic "The Gate" starring Val Kilmer."
Listening to Hu Kaili's nervous tone as if reciting a resume, Eric smiled. Although Eric had heard of the few movies that Hu Kaili mentioned, he had never seen them.
Noticing Eric's chuckle, Hu Kaili lowered her head involuntarily again. These movies are not worth mentioning to Eric, a big director with a cumulative box office of more than one billion dollars in North America, let alone her In the movie, they are just some insignificant small roles.
There were more and more people in the show, and Eric was about to continue talking when he heard a magnetic male voice: "Eric, it's great to see you again, how are you doing?"
Eric turned his head and saw Nicolas Cage and Bridget Fonda walking over side by side, got up and greeted them, as the hero and heroine of "Ghost Love" in this world, Nicolas Cage and Brigitte Fonda have been together for the past two years. Rigit Fonda has flourished in Hollywood and has maintained his status as a first-line superstar. The couple in "Human Ghost" can attend this show together, and there will definitely be a lot of hype in the newspapers tomorrow, and the influence will definitely not be much worse than Eric.
"Long time no see, Nick." Eric hugged Nicolas Cage, and then turned to Bridget Fonda: "Bridget, you look so much more beautiful."
Bridget Fonda approached Eric and kissed Eric affectionately, and said, "Thank you for your compliment, Eric. It's just that it doesn't matter how beautiful you are. You must have put me...and Nick Everyone forgets."
The three walked to the seats in the stands together. Kelly Hu saw Nicolas Cage and Bridget Fonda appearing at the same time, a trace of envy flashed in her eyes, and she stood up involuntarily.
Cage just glanced at Kelly Hu, and started gossiping with Eric again, but Bridget Fonda looked up and down at Kelly Hu's outfit curiously, and said to Eric with some doubts: "Eric , don't you want us to introduce this young lady?"
"This is Kelly Hu, a friend. She is also an actress," Eric introduced, taking care of Kelly Hu's face, and did not mention that the two had just met.
Kelly Hu was also aware of Eric's kindness, suppressed the faint gratitude in her heart, and took the initiative to say hello to Nicolas Cage and Brigitte Fonda, and when she saw Eric sitting down, she also quietly Sitting next to Eric.
As soon as he sat down, Cage couldn't wait to ask: "Eric, I've watched "Jurassic Park" several times. It's really great, but. Why haven't I heard about your new work recently? "
Eric shook his head and said with a smile: "Because I haven't found a script I'm interested in yet, and I have too many things to deal with, so I may have to wait for a long time for the next movie. What about you? What are you busy with?"
"We just received a script from Universal, and we haven't decided whether to act it yet," Cage said, glancing at Bridget Fonda.
"You two together?"
Cage nodded, and said, "Michael Eisner personally invited him, and the salary is very high, but we haven't considered it yet."
Eric also understood Cage's hesitation. Although the CP effect formed by the two in "Human Ghost" was very strong, it also caused the two to cooperate again, and they would definitely get a sky-high salary. The cp effect is greatly affected, and it may even become a one-time consumption, so the choice of scripts is very cautious.
"Eric, why don't I talk about the script, and you can help us as a consultant?" Bridget Fonda was next to Cage, leaning forward slightly, looking at Eric expectantly. .
Eric thought for a while, but didn't refuse, and said, "Okay, but now is not the time, the show will start soon."
"Then wait for the reception later," Cage immediately echoed.
The two had just chatted for a few words, when they saw a father and daughter, one big and one small, walking in. Donald Trump, who had a cool hairstyle, saw Eric and walked over very excitedly. Completely ignoring the white eyes of the daughter beside her.
Eric was a little surprised by Trump's appearance, but he quickly remembered that Emily said that after the show, they would celebrate at the Hyatt Hotel script, and the Hyatt Hotel in Manhattan happened to be a property owned by Trump Corporation.
"Eric, we meet again," Trump gave Eric a bear hug very familiarly.
Eric glanced at Trump's hairstyle and joked, "Donald, you're so handsome again."
"Thank you, Eric, but I feel the same way myself."
"Father is so stupid, he is obviously mocking you." A crisp little figure beside him rang out immediately.
Trump was a little embarrassed. Eric looked at Ivanka Trump, who hadn't seen him for a long time, and immediately pretended to be surprised, and said, "Wow, whose little beauty is this? Can't recognize it."
Ivanka raised her chin slightly, snorted proudly, completely ignoring Eric's meaning.
"Eni, don't be so rude," Trump immediately taught.
Although he was only twelve years old but went straight to Ivanka, who was 1.5 meters tall, his father rolled his eyes without hesitation. Eric couldn't help laughing when he saw the girl's delicate appearance, and looked at the simple clothes on Ivanka's body. In a pale yellow long dress, she asked, "Yi Ni, don't you feel that something is missing from you
Ivanka immediately lowered her head to look at her attire, and raised her head after a while and said, "What's missing?"
"Muppet, I think you can hold an extra-large one."
Ivanka pursed her pink lips arrogantly, pulled her father and walked towards the stands, as if she didn't plan to pay any attention to Eric.
The seats of the Trump father and daughter were arranged to the right of Bridget Fonda. In order to facilitate the chat, Eric sat down between the two groups of people.
Hu Kaili looked at Eric, who was chatting and laughing among several people, and before she had time to feel lost, she saw a girl with a work card around her neck coming out of the backstage, her eyes swept over the seat, and she immediately stared at Hu Kaili stepped forward and said, "Miss, may I have a look at your invitation letter?"
Hu Kaili was shocked, but still took out the invitation letter from her handbag and handed it to the other party. The girl just glanced at it and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Hu, there are quite a lot of guests today, and the front row is already crowded, so please go back to your seat?"
The conversation between the two quickly attracted the attention of several people who were chatting. Eric recognized that the girl with the work badge around her neck was the female assistant who had accompanied him and Aiwa before. Seeing Hu Kaili's at a loss, He took the initiative to help the girl and said: "Kelly is my friend, if possible, let her sit in the front row."
When the female assistant saw Eric speaking in person, she didn't dare to refuse directly, but she still said: "Mr. Williams, it's okay to squeeze a little bit, but Miss Hu is now sitting in Ms. Wintour's seat..."
Eric glanced at it. His own seat just now was vacant, and Hu Kaili just sat casually on his left. He didn't expect that it would be the seat of the famous editor-in-chief of "Fashion", Anna Wintour. Unexpectedly, Emily would take the seat The other party arranged beside him.
Although he didn't know Anna Wintour, Eric also knew that Emily must have put a lot of thought into inviting this fashion queen, so he beckoned to Kelly Hu and asked her to come and sit by him. here.
The female assistant breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't leave. She stood near the stands and stared at the guests who came in from time to time. It was estimated that Emily had specially sent them to guard the VIP position. Sure enough, in the next few minutes, the female assistant asked them to leave one after another. Several starlets who went to the front row to grab positions.
There were more and more people at the show, and seeing that the people were almost due, the female assistant was just about to leave, but was stopped by Eric beckoning.
"Williams, what's the matter?" The female assistant walked up to Eric and asked slightly.
Eric hooked his fingers at the girl, and when she squatted down and got closer, he said softly, "Do me a favor..."
The girl nodded with a smile, glanced at Ivanka next to her, and left with a smile. (To be continued..)
