After posing for a while at the photo wall, Eric and Drew, guided by the staff, walked along the long corridor towards the party site.
Looking at the few people around, the girl suddenly leaned into Eric's ear and whispered: "Eric, just now a guy asked us when we plan to have a baby?"
A few people chatting by the glass window in the corridor saw Eric appearing and greeted them politely. Eric nodded in response, also wondering in a low voice: "Huh?"
Drew seemed suddenly excited: "Say, how about we have a baby?"
Eric didn't object. Although his biological age was not yet twenty-six, his mental age had already passed the period of resistance to children.
Even, in New York, Eric had even sensed that Cindy wanted to conceive his child because it was more expensive than mother. After all, there were so many signs, and even Linda was involved in it, if he couldn't detect it, it would be a problem with his IQ.
Although Eric didn't intend to actively promote this matter, he didn't deliberately alienate the other party. If he really had a child, he couldn't afford it. Although he has been reborn for so long, he is still a somewhat traditional oriental person in his bones, and he has accumulated a huge family business, so the idea of spreading branches and leaves is inevitable. If you have more children, those who become talents in the future will inherit the family business, and if they do not become talents, they will honestly accept the family trust.
However, after listening to the girl's words, Eric asked: "Then, are you ready to be a mother? Taking care of children is very troublesome."
Drew tilted his head and said, "Natasha can help me, and, um, if it doesn't work, it can be sent to New York for Joan to take care of."
Eric smiled and said, "Forget it, there is no shadow of the child, so you just want to let go of the pick, wait until you are ready to be a mother."
Although he passed his 20th birthday last year and started to take care of MGM, one of the top seven, Drew's playfulness hasn't changed much because of his compensatory mentality for his unbearable childhood. , Eric still felt that the girl around him was just the reason for the baby-faced little girl back then.
The girl was just a whim, and after hearing what Eric said, she quickly dispelled the idea: "Let's wait a few years before we talk about it."
Walking into the party hall, the crew of "Forrest Gump" had already greeted them.
"Congratulations," Eric warmly hugged Robert Zemeckis, Tom Hanks and others, and finally said to Hanks: "Tom, how does it feel to be re-elected?"
"Great, Eric, thank you," Hanks said with a still very excited smile on his face, and thanked Eric sincerely. He knew very well that if it wasn't for Eric's special arrangement for two consecutive years , it is impossible for him to create this great miracle in Oscar history.
After exchanging lively greetings, everyone sat down at a round table in the hall and continued to chat.
The nature of the Vanity Fair party is more focused on the dinner party. The guests who have just been excited for three hours at the awards ceremony must also hope for a relatively quiet environment at this time, with soothing music, dim lights, and groups of three or four. Guests, feel the success or loss of this year, and look for opportunities for next year's persistent efforts in communication.
After chatting about "Forrest Gump", Drew asked in a casual tone: "Bob, although it is a bit early to ask, do you have any projects you are interested in now? I am looking forward to our next meeting." What about cooperation?"
Since his debut, Robert Zemeckis has been the kind of director who is both commercial and innovative. Since his first comedy "Intrigue" in 1980, Robert Zemeckis' films have never been commercially successful. He has never failed. The well-known sci-fi series "Back and Again" directed by him and "Roger Rabbit", which combines animation and live action, have achieved brilliant box office success. Therefore, it is not surprising that the girl wants to take advantage of the great success of "Forrest Gump" to confirm her cooperation intention with the other party. If they weren't chatting, many people at the party might have stepped forward to win them over.
Under such circumstances, when faced with similar problems, even if most people have no intention of continuing to cooperate, they will be very tactful and perfunctory to postpone it.
However, there was a brief hesitation on the expression of Robert Zemeckis, remembering what Steven Spielberg had talked to him in private not long ago, he paused, and then said: "Of course, Drew, there is We will definitely continue to work together if given the opportunity.”
Drew noticed the change in Robert Zemeckis' expression, and wisely did not continue the matter, and naturally changed the subject.
While chatting, everyone felt a faint commotion coming from the entrance of the party, and turned their heads curiously.
"It's the godfather," Drew, who was sitting on Eric's left with a good view, blurted out after taking a look, then paused, and said, "And David Geffen and... Well, Bill Gates, they How did you come together?"
Eric wasn't very interested at first, but he turned his head curiously when he heard the name of Bill Gates mentioned by the girl, and happened to meet the eyes of his classmate Damen.
Nodding to each other, Bill Gates whispered something to Spielberg beside him, and walked towards this side with his wife Melinda Gates.
Faintly aware of something, Eric didn't find it too strange. Since the other party was walking towards this side, Eric got up and took the girl to meet him.
"Hey, Bill, I didn't expect you to come here." Eric shook hands politely with the classmate at the gate, then gently hugged Melinda Gates in a black dress, and complimented: "Melinda, You are so beautiful tonight."
"Thank you, Eric," Melinda Gates smiled politely, and then said to Drew beside Eric, "Dru is also very beautiful, but this is my first time here Well, Drew, can you show me around?"
There was a warm smile on the girl's face: "Of course, come with me, um, I have to say hello to the godfather first, and then I will take you to meet some interesting guys, how about it?"
"No problem," the two women said, winking at their respective men, and walked away together arm in arm.
"Let's go to the bar and have a drink." Although he has already roughly guessed why the student from Damen appeared here, Eric doesn't mind. There is no other way, since he took the initiative to join in on his own territory, he had to greet him well.
There is no doubt that Damen must have been stimulated by various news about him in the media recently, and wanted to join in the fun in Hollywood.
In the original time and space, when Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Katzenberg founded DreamWorks, Bill Gates and Paul Allen, another founder of Microsoft, once dreamed of DreamWorks. Factories are injected. Later, Microsoft also had the idea of entering Hollywood many times. From time to time, there would be news that Microsoft was about to acquire a certain media group, but most of the time it was just a lot of thunder and rain, and finally nothing happened.
But now, history has changed, and the terrifying profit scale of the Firefly Group has obviously made many people make up their minds to enter Hollywood on a large scale. The student in front of him is probably one of them.
It's just that the seven major studios in Hollywood have just been divided up, and if they want to do something in Hollywood at this time, they can only start from scratch. In the past two years, there have been rumors that Spielberg, David Geffen and others who want to set up a large studio alone have undoubtedly become Microsoft's best partners. (To be continued.)
