After the scene of Al Pacino feigning jerky driving the Lamborghini Phantom out of the party, the day's shooting schedule was complete. The working time of the crew is also close to eight hours.
As long as this progress can be maintained, Eric believes that the film production can be completely completed within four weeks. Therefore, although he himself still has plenty of energy, he did not ask the crew to work overtime.
In Europe and the United States, overtime is a very serious issue. It is basically impossible for Europeans to work overtime. Some countries even levy high overtime taxes to restrict companies from allowing employees to work overtime. If you let Americans work overtime, you must not only provide satisfactory subsidies and vacation plans, but also deal with possible inquiries and investigations from labor unions.
The set of the villa was originally a party. According to Eric's original idea, after the shooting was completed, the real kick-off banquet began here.
In the sound of melodious and soothing music, several beauties refused to strike up a conversation boldly. Eric sat on the sofa in a corner and chatted with Jeffrey about the next shooting plan. Julia and Al Pacino together paused for a moment.
Julia quit her job as a server at Jeff's restaurant a long time ago, and got a part of the pay advance. Now she has rented an apartment in Beverly Hills and moved in according to Eric's instructions.
Although she didn't have her role today, Julia still took the initiative to appear on the crew, helping out with what she could from time to time, and even took a few lines with Al Pacino when she had time.
Eric was quite satisfied with Julia's attitude. Except for a female assistant assigned by the agency, Julia did not receive any preferential treatment in the crew.
In fact, even Al Pacino didn't have any special treatment. He drove his own car when he joined the group, and returned to his home to rest after finishing his work. In order to save the budget, the crew only rented a trailer for the actors to make up and change clothes. Of course, this happens only once. Eric believes that when the two of them shoot their next film, they will definitely not be treated so 'slowly'.
Jeffrey, who was chatting with Eric, quickly followed Eric's line of sight and found the focus of his eyes.
"What's the matter, Eric, aren't you jealous?" Jeffrey leaned over slightly, with a teasing tone in his tone, he knew exactly what happened between Eric and Julia.
Eric shook his head calmly, but after all, he has had skin-to-skin contact with Julia. Seeing Julia and Al on the dance floor looking like you and me, I don’t feel that snacky at all, right? possible.
However, Eric has no intention of taking Julia for himself, and beauties with big mouths are not his thing. Eric, as a senior member of the Appearance Association, Julia has not yet reached the standard of beauty in his heart.
"I'm just observing how Julia and Al get along." Eric made an excuse at random: "It seems that after a week of running-in, they have already entered the drama. Look, do the two of them have the same kind of relationship?" Feeling very coordinated?"
Jeffrey heard Eric's words and looked over. On the dance floor, Julia and Al Pacino whispered a few words from time to time, and looked at each other, looking a little affectionate.
"That's true, Eric, do you think Julia will fall in love with Al after this movie is made?"
"This possibility is very high," Eric replied, remembering Julia's sentimental and sensitive character, "But Al will definitely not accept Julia, his girlfriend is already pregnant."
Al Pacino is also a playboy, and his methods are quite clever. In his previous life, he skillfully moved among many women, and several women gave birth to him.
In the past, Al might have started a relationship with Julia. But this kind of thing is unlikely to happen now, Al Pacino is at a critical moment in his comeback, and his girlfriend's pregnancy is not a secret. If there is a relationship with Julia at this time, the abandonment of his pregnant girlfriend will deal a considerable blow to his image.
It's just that if Eric is watching casually alone, Julia may not feel it. Now Eric and Jeffrey looked over together, still talking non-stop. Julia couldn't find out that she was just pretending, and Al Pacino also noticed Eric and Jeffrey's eyes, and smiled gracefully at them.
Julia, who was held in Al's arms, felt inexplicably uneasy. Once her mood was destroyed, it would be difficult to continue. After whispering a few words with Al, Julia left the dance floor and walked towards Eric.
Al Pacino on the dance floor shrugged nonchalantly, and soon found another beautiful female partner.
"Julia, why don't you dance anymore?" Seeing Julia sitting down beside him, Eric asked curiously.
"It's just that I'm a little tired." Julia took a glass of champagne and sat down on the sofa, leaned towards Eric as if nothing had happened, and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"
Jeffrey answered first with a smile: "I just made a bet with Eric, will you fall in love with Al after the filming of this movie is finished?"
"Ah, you... how could you do this?" Julia's tone was filled with anger, but the disappointment in her eyes flashed away.
Eric quickly interrupted Jeffrey's nonsense, saying: "Julia, don't listen to Jeffrey's nonsense, we are not that boring. I just saw the scene when you danced with Al, and we felt that the next Shooting is going to go well, and you two are clearly in it."
Julia snorted, took a sip of champagne, and asked, "Eric, are you... going to dance?"
Eric raised his sleeves and looked at his watch, then refused, "No, I'm leaving soon."
"Why don't you play for a while longer? It's absolutely impossible to relax like this again in the next period of time." Jeffrey stayed.
Eric stood up and said with a smile: "Today, the first TV series that Janet participated in started airing. She specially called from New York to let me not forget to watch it. The time is coming."
When Jeffrey heard Eric say this reason, he couldn't help but tease a few words, but got up accordingly. Some other sharp-eyed people noticed that Eric might be leaving, and they also came over.
At the entrance of the villa, Eric said to Jeffrey and others who sent him off: "Go back, Jeffrey, don't let them play too late, and be careful to delay tomorrow's shooting."
"Don't worry, I'll watch."
Eric waved his hand and walked towards the parking lot. Julia in the crowd hesitated and followed.
"Julia, what's the matter?" Eric just opened the car door and saw Julia walking over.
"Eric, I haven't had time to buy a car yet, can you give me a ride?"
Eric smiled and said, "Of course no problem."
The car was driving smoothly on the road, and Eric found a topic casually: "Julia, how do you feel about Al?"
Julia lowered her head slightly, glanced at Eric, and thought about the wording: "Mr. Al Pacino is very personable and very talkative, and people can't help but feel good about him. However, I don't have many men and women for him. In terms of feeling, Mr. Pacino is more than 20 years older than me."
Eric smiled and said, "Al will be very sad after hearing your evaluation. You don't like older men, but Al likes young and beautiful girls."
"Do you think I'm pretty?"
Eric nodded without hesitation: "In the concept of Westerners, you are a standard beauty."
Although Julia felt that Eric's words were weird, she still had some joy on her face.
After a short pause, Julia mustered up the courage to ask, "Eric, is your current girlfriend, that Jennifer Aniston?"
"Yeah, we met when we were filming "Return to Seventeen," Eric said, remembering something, and smiled: "Jenny knows you too."
"Impossible, I only saw her in the newspaper, or that time..." Julia was a little embarrassed when she mentioned the absurdity of that night.
Eric didn't take it too seriously: "She also met you that time, speaking of it..." Recalling Aniston's tantrum at the time, Eric smiled: "That shirt is Jane Ni also wore it, by the way, do you still keep it, can you return it to me later?"
"No problem." Julia nodded subconsciously.
The car stopped in front of Julia's newly rented apartment, and the girl got out of the car, looked at the empty streets on both sides, and asked with some expectation: "Eric, would you like to come in for a cup of coffee first, this time around No paparazzi."
Eric stuck out the car window and refused, "Forget it, I have to go back quickly, just wait here."
"Okay then," Julia took out the key and opened the door, and looked back, Eric still had no intention of getting out of the car, so he had to enter the house alone.
When she came to the bedroom, Julia opened the closet, took out the clean white shirt, put it in front of her subconsciously and smelled it, then silently folded it in her arms, and walked to the door of the bedroom. Thinking of what Eric said just now, the girl's footsteps became more and more hesitant, and she couldn't suppress the little jealousy in her heart anymore. She turned back and put the shirt back in the closet, and found two pieces of her own clothes to cover up. . Taking a few deep breaths, he walked out of the room.
"Eric, I'm sorry, I forgot where I put that shirt, can I return it to you when I find it?"
Eric stared at the girl for two seconds, then sighed: "Well, just forget it if you can't find it."
Just as he was about to roll up the car window and leave, Eric poked his head out after thinking about it, and said, "Julia, I can assure you that after "Pretty Woman" is released, you will become a Hollywood superstar that everyone is looking forward to. Sometimes, countless men will regard you as the lover of their dreams, and there will be countless excellent men pursuing you, so..." Eric hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't speak too bluntly: "Act well, don't it disappointed me."
Julia bit her lip, blinked a few times quickly, and said with a forced smile: "Don't worry, Director Williams, I will do my best."
"Then... see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow," the girl beckoned, watching Eric start the car and disappear all the way to the end of the street.
Looking at Julia's standing figure in the rearview mirror, Eric sighed lightly, tapped the steering wheel with his index finger, and said a few Chinese words that had been forgotten: "Wandering around the world, it's hard to hide elegance, Not because of infatuation, only love flowers, flowers are too fragrant, flowers are in the wind 丨 Liuhua dies and flowers are impermanent, walking openly, without a little... "
Humming to the last word or stopped, Eric shook his head and laughed at himself: "How is that possible?"
