In the 1980s, Hollywood had not yet conquered the world, and the Walk of Fame was not as famous as later generations.
When night comes, the Avenue of Stars is no different from other streets in Los Angeles, densely packed with shops, pedestrians passing by, and girls in twos and threes in scantily clad streets.
An unremarkable car was parked on the side of the street, and the co-pilot got on. Eric watched with great interest at Julia Roberts who was accosted from time to time in the front left.
At this time, Julia was wearing heavy makeup, and even people who knew her well could not recognize her for a while. The girl was leaning on the lamppost with a bit of laziness and a bit of coquettishness, her eyes flickered, and she looked forward to her pose. Eric designed the shape according to the appearance of Vivienne in his memory, which not only set off a pure and delicate face, but also perfectly showed Julia's beautiful figure.
In less than half an hour, the number of men who chatted with Julia exceeded the number of tasks assigned by Eric. Just as he was thinking about whether to continue, Eric saw three or four strangely dressed youths surrounding Julia, and quickly said to the muscular driver in the driver's seat: "Tonys, you can drive manually."
"Okay, boss." Tonys == started the car and came to Julia, Julia was reluctantly making excuses with a few little girls with a smile, when she saw Eric's car coming, Quickly opened a young man's strange hand stretched out to him: "Hey, guys, my customer is here to pick me up. I said earlier that I was waiting for someone, and he paid a lot of money."
A few young people glanced at the unremarkable car, laughed contemptuously and continued to pester: "Little girl, how much can you pay for driving such a broken car, how about 200 dollars a night? Other small people on this street丨A girl only costs $70 a night."
Tonys, who was nearly two meters tall, opened the car door, and appeared in front of several people like a hill. Unable to beat him, he gave an apologetic laugh and left in despair.
"Miss Julia, get in the car." Tonys put away his fierce expression, and thoughtfully opened the rear door for Julia.
Julia thanked her and got into the car. Alison Green, the female assistant in the back seat, quickly put her coat on Julia. The nights in Los Angeles this season are quite cold.
"Eric, how am I doing?" Julia asked Eric in the co-pilot impatiently, wearing a coat.
Eric praised: "I'm very satisfied. If Tony hadn't been specially called, maybe there would be a little trouble today."
"Boss, these are what I should do." Tonys started the car with a simple and honest smile.
Tony is a security guard hired by Firefly Films. This two-meter-tall black man has a very gentle temper and claims that he has never fought with anyone since he was a child.
Standing street girls is actually a very dangerous profession. It is not uncommon for some girls to be kidnapped into the car suddenly, and their bodies appear in the garbage dump a few days later. Tonight's test, just in case, Eric called Tonys over.
"Tony, should you live near here? Stop at the intersection ahead, and you can go home. I'll just take Miss Julia back."
Tony nodded, stopped the car at the place, said goodbye and left.
Alison Green, Julia's female assistant, rolled her eyes twice, and then opened the car door and said, "Mr. Eric, there happens to be a bus to my house here, and I'll get off too. Goodbye."
Soon, only Eric and Julia were left in the car. Eric started the car, and Julia curled up in the back seat a little nervously, and both of them were a little silent.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of Julia's apartment, and the girl got out of the car with her head down. After waiting for a while, Eric didn't follow her, but poked her head out of the car window and said, "Julia, Rent a new place as soon as possible, preferably in Beverly Hills. Once the movie starts shooting, the news of your starring role will definitely not be hidden from the media, and the paparazzi will be a big problem. I will ask Jeffrey to advance part of your salary .”
"Okay, Eric. Won't you... come in and sit down?" Julia asked softly, her eyes wandering.
Eric winked at the girl ambiguously: "It won't happen today. Although I have taken some measures, I'm not sure if I have shaken off the paparazzi."
Julia didn't know whether she was happy or disappointed, she hesitated twice, waved to Eric, turned and walked into the apartment.
Eric watched the girl enter the apartment before rolling up the window and starting the car to leave.

On the first day of the new year, Al Pacino flew from New York to Los Angeles and settled down at his villa in Beverly Hills. And soon put into the preparations for "Pretty Woman".
"Pretty Woman" also held the first meeting of the main actors. Everyone chatted all morning and gained some understanding. Eric also took this opportunity to discuss and revise the script with several leading actors. After all, the actor was replaced by Al Pacino. Al and Richard Gere's acting styles are completely different. It is impossible for Eric to shoot exactly according to the image of Richard Gere in memory.
Eric took this opportunity to let Al and Julia try to perform a few scenes together. In order to cooperate with the immature Julia, Al Pacino took the initiative to restrain his acting skills, but Al Pacino still suppressed Julia during the performance.
Because Al Pacino is only 1.7 meters tall, and Julia is close to 1.8 meters tall after wearing high heels. Eric originally planned to ask Julia to change the high heels to flat shoes if the audition was incongruous because of the height, and at the same time let Al wear height increasing shoes.
But after the audition, Eric dismissed the idea, because Julia's only advantage is her height. If her advantage is erased, it will be very difficult for Julia under Al Pacino's edge. present yourself.

Spending one million sponsorships for "Pretty Woman", Lamborghini and its parent company Chrysler both attach great importance to this cooperation.
On the training site of a driving school in Los Angeles, two small container trucks were parked next to them. Under the command of the staff, the two Lamborghini ghosts were carefully unloaded.
"Wow, what a cool sports car." Standing beside Eric, Drew looked at two tough Lamborghinis, one silver and one purple, with little stars in his eyes. Rick reached out and grabbed it.
"Eric, I want that purple one, it's so pretty."
Eric pinched Drew's little nose, and said with a smile: "It's not a doll, you want it if you want it."
The Lamborghini staff member named Ian Brest next to him saw Drew's reaction and introduced with a smug smile: "Miss Drew, you really have a good eye, purple represents nobility and mystery, and most women like to choose This color. However, this is a concept car specially built by us. In order to cooperate with the filming of Mr. Williams, it is not for sale yet."
Several people were chatting, and the staff leaders Julia and Al got into the two cars and began to explain the operation essentials to them carefully. Although both Julia and Al have driver's licenses, neither of them has driven a Lamborghini, especially Julia, who has never even touched a sports car before.
In "Pretty Woman", Lamborghini will appear in the first 20 minutes, and the two of them will have to drive for a long time during the filming. According to Lamborghini's introduction, there will be some innovations in the operation of the latest Ghost series.
In order to ensure that there are no accidents during the shooting, Eric had to conduct a three-day training for Julia and Al. Lamborghini was also happy to cooperate, and specially sent a technician named Ian Brest to cooperate throughout the process.
