America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 120 118. You two are really like a sleeping dragon and a phoenix.

In one afternoon, Ashley and Mary were in a state of divine help, and the shooting progress was as if they had grown wings.

In half a day, a full 6 pages of scripts were shot. People familiar with the film and television industry must understand how terrifying this number is.

After working overtime for more than an hour, the crew finished filming all the scenes that needed to be shot at Universal Studios in one go.

When it was all over, not only the actors, but also the MGM staff looked in disbelief.

Such a crazy shooting schedule may not be encountered once in ten years. The key is that the quality is still guaranteed.

Eric clapped his hands: "Thank you very much for your hard work today. I'm done. See you next Monday!"

With his order, today's work came to an end, and everyone began to leave one after another.

Andrea hugged the Olsen sisters excitedly: "Ashley, Mary, you are awesome, beyond imagination!"

The two sisters smiled sweetly: "Thank you!"

James McAvoy still hasn't come back to his senses. He walked up to Ashley, who was playing opposite him, and humbly asked for advice: "Ashley, how did you do it? Your performance is so surprising, isn't it? Do you have any special tips that you can share with me?”

Ashley looked at Eric secretly: "I'm not sure. I just suddenly figured it out. Maybe it's the sense of belief that Eric mentioned. The actor must believe in your character."

McAvoy looked puzzled: "I know what you are talking about, and all the teachers in the school will teach it, but what should be the process?"

Ashley shook her head: "Sorry James, I can't explain it clearly. It's just a feeling. I don't know how to describe it."

The more mysterious it is, the more Zhan Yimei believes it, because acting is a matter of talent, and it is not uncommon to have a sudden inspiration.

He could only sigh helplessly: "It seems that I still need to accumulate experience. Maybe returning to the UK to continue participating in dramas is a good choice."

"Come on James, I believe you will become an excellent actor."

With a casual word of encouragement, Ashley came around Eric. She and Mary sandwiched the man on the left and right, just like half a day ago.

"Eric, come to our house on Saturday. Last time I came back from Santa Barbara, Garnetti invited you, but you refused."

"That's right, you don't know that little Elizabeth called my mother specifically to make a sumptuous dinner, and you made her sad."

As they spoke, the two of them cursed Gal Gadot in their hearts. Originally, they had no feelings for this woman. At most, they were envious of her good luck.

But it’s different now. Little Elizabeth said that Gal Gadot is Eric’s admitted girlfriend, so the question arises, who are they sisters?

Although the two sisters will definitely have competition, it is an internal conflict. Gal Gadot is different. This is an invasion by external forces, and she must be driven away first.

An excellent man like Eric is definitely a good choice to be your boyfriend and husband.

He is young, handsome and talented, his family is rich and wealthy, and he is inextricably linked to Double Star Entertainment. He would be a fool not to grasp it.

When faced with the invitation, Eric did not know the psychological activities of the Olsen sisters, but he had to go to New York on the weekend, so naturally he could not attend the appointment.

I have been neglecting that bitch Elena for more than a month. If I don't show up for a trip, I'm afraid the other party will be really angry, and I have to visit Sergei Hassenfeld. This relationship is very important, and it needs to be maintained. Very helpful for the future.

He considered his words: "I'm afraid it won't work on Saturday. I already have an appointment."

The two sisters immediately raised alarm bells, and Mary asked directly: "With whom? Gal Gadot?"

Eric thought to himself that I was going on a date with your dear aunt, but I couldn't say.

"No, why are you talking about Gadot? I'm going to New York and have a deal to discuss with Hasbro."

Hearing this, the sisters breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they weren't fooling around with Gal Gadot.

"It's a shame, but you've already missed two appointments, don't you feel a little guilty?"

Eric spread his hands: "I don't think so. It was you who invited me, and I didn't take the initiative to go. Why should I feel guilty?"

boom!

"Oh, don't fight, okay, okay, I will definitely go next week, that's it, okay?"

After receiving Eric's promise, the two sisters left happily.

Getting in the pink Lamborghini, Mary said hesitantly: "Ashley, do you think he is lying to us? Eric is a very evil guy."

"I don't know either. I can't continue to press him. It will make him disgusted. What can you do?"

"How about letting Aunt Elena keep an eye on him? Anyway, aunt lives in New York, and they are friends. We will find out if Eric goes to work in New York."

After pondering for a moment, Ashley sighed: "Is this necessary? Even if it turns out he is lying to us, what can you do?"

Mary didn't know how to answer this question. Yes, even if she knew it was a lie, so what?

This relationship was unequal from the beginning. The Olsen sisters were in a weak position and Eric was absolutely dominant.

In fact, there is not much road ahead of them, or they may quit early, simply don't get into this muddy water, and just maintain the business partnership in the future.

But for young people like the Olsen sisters, whose minds have not yet fully matured, this road is a bit difficult, especially when the relationship between the three is so complicated.

Or just work hard, drive away the other competitors around Eric, and finally succeed.

This road is even more difficult to walk. The first condition is to learn to be patient, to be able to endure your temper, to endure your character, and even to turn yourself into a Ninja Turtle.

After all, Eric is not an innocent and good man. With his character that cannot control his lower body, coupled with the temptation of the entertainment industry, it is too difficult.

Mary also sighed: "Don't ask me, I don't know what to do, but if I don't even know whether he is lying to us, I will be even more uncomfortable and unwilling. No matter, I want to call Eileen anyway Aunt Na.”

"Okay, let's fight."

"Eric, are you going out again? I heard noises in the middle of the night yesterday. Is there a beautiful girl?" Joshua asked coquettishly.

Gudong!

"what"

Putting down the wine glass, Eric took a sip of water. The bottle of health wine given by Han Sanping didn't know how effective it was. The taste alone was really not good.

But my father seemed to feel good after drinking it that night, and the originally full bottle was now only half full, so it must have really worked.

Nicole will definitely not let him go tonight. He has already spent too much energy on Ashley and Mary, and now that he has not regained his strength, he might as well give this thing a try.

"I have a question for you, Eric, are there any pretty girls? Introduce me to one." Joshua punched his brother's shoulder.

"There's a beautiful girl with a fart, I have to work overtime."

"You're talking nonsense. You don't even look at what time it is. Do you think I'm a fool?"

Eric raised the script of "La Vie en Rose" in his hand: "Why are you lying to me? I am busy filming during the day and have no time to study. I can only do it at night. I made an appointment with the screenwriter."

Joshua was doubtful: "Is it true or false?"

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Don't do nothing all day long. If you have nothing to do, just go back to the team and learn management." After Eric walked out of the house, the Lamborghini walked away.

The climb over the wall was much smoother this time. Eric didn't fall down and his clothes were torn. Eric came to the door in a familiar way.

Pressed the doorbell: "Niko, open the door, your husband is here!"

Click!

The door opened, and Nicole Kidman came out wearing translucent silk stockings, with her distinctive concentric knot necklace hanging around her neck.

"Husband? Where is it? Where is it? Why can't I see it?" She looked around pretending to be searching.

Eric stretched out his thumb and pointed at his chin. Then he realized something was wrong and subconsciously made Vegeta's deflated gesture. This gesture was not auspicious, so he hurriedly put it away.

"Look here, it's me."

"You? You are Eric Cooper, how can you be my husband?" Nicole looked at him with a half-smile.

Eric skillfully took off his coat and picked her up: "You will know right away, right?"

Carrying Nicole to the sofa, Eric kissed her nose: "My dear, why do you feel that you have become a little heavier?"

"What! No way!"

Nicole Kidman broke away from his arms in an instant and her eyes widened in surprise.

She walked to another room and emerged a moment later holding a scale.

"OMG! I gained 1.5 pounds! This is horrible!"

Seeing her reaction so fiercely, Eric hurriedly held her in his arms, kissed her and blocked the woman's mouth.

After a long time, the two separated, and Eric gently stroked Nicole's forehead: "Relax, madam, it's just a little heavier, which is actually good, because you were too thin before, and I hope you can gain another 10 pounds. "

Nicole took his hand and put it on the bear: "You will comfort me. Female stars cannot gain weight. It will ruin everything. Look at Kate Winslet, now she can only play some housewives."

"Haha. What's wrong with housewives? Doesn't it reflect acting skills better? And I have a friend who is obsessed with Winslet. He doesn't care whether she is fat or thin. This is true love."

Nicole stretched out her hands and hooked Eric's neck, looking directly at him: "What about you? Do you care about my weight?"

"Of course I don't care. Didn't I just say that I want you to gain another 10 pounds." Eric didn't hesitate at all.

"Why? Give me a reason."

"I think it's health!"

Nicole shook her head: "Can your reason be any more false?"

"Well, a little meat is good, but if you're too thin, you'll panic!"

"Disgusting! You are such a..."

Before they finished speaking, the two had already started a wet French kiss.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Eric was decisively squeezed for two hours.

After the battle, Nicole returned to her lazy state, lying in Eric's arms like a kitten.

"Dear, no wonder you won the Oscar for Best Actress. I seem to have found a reason."

"what?"

"Just now you were so crazy that you seemed to want to swallow me, but now you are as docile as a Bonnie rabbit. Isn't this the embodiment of acting in life?"

"Eric, I find that you are getting more and more annoying." Nicole wrinkled her nose.

"Hehe. Really? You hate me?"

"Of course I hate you, but... I hope other women hate you more, so you can only stay with me."

With that she climbed up and the two kissed tenderly.

After a long time, Nicole picked up the script and read it.

"Get off and don't move, let me concentrate."

"Do you need a guide?"

"That's best!"

The script the two of them have now can only be regarded as a first draft, and it is still a long way from being perfect, so it is more understandable with Eric's explanation.

The two of them watched until late into the night. Later, Nicole simply threw away the script and listened intently to what Eric had to say.

Boom!

The clock struck midnight, and the legendary life of Edith Piaf slowly came to an end in Eric's voice.

"Wow. Although I've learned a lot about her since you said it last time, it's still a very touching life."

“Eric, what genre do you want this movie to be made into?”

"A biopic must be a biopic!" Eric said with certainty.

If "La Vie en Rose" is made into a commercial film adaptation, the work will lose its meaning and will definitely fail both commercially and artistically.

"Well, I'm glad that we have reached a consensus on this. I think it will be interesting and challenging to play such a character."

"Nicole, I believe in your acting skills. You can completely master this role. Maybe it will bring you another Little Golden Man trophy!"

Nicole nodded: "I like challenges, but there are still a few problems. Little Skylark is only less than 1.5 meters tall, but I am as tall as I am."

Eric waved his hand: "That's not a problem. It can be adjusted technically through the lens, including the singing. I plan to use Edith Piaf's original soundtrack. You just need to lip-sync and learn the performance manners carefully."

"Is this okay? Doesn't it look very unprofessional? Since my first movie after winning an Oscar is like this, there will definitely be people making irresponsible remarks." Nicole was a little embarrassed.

Eric snorted: "Don't care about the opinions of those film critics. In a few years, with the demise of paper media, these people will also come to an end. You must know that what we are going to film is a legendary French female singer." In life, do we have to use French throughout?”

"Of course it's impossible! This is still a Hollywood movie and only uses English. Is there any bigger flaw than this?"

Eric dares to say this because the original soundtrack was also used by Marion Cotillard, but it does not affect her status as a queen at all, because this is simply not a problem that can be solved through personal efforts.

"Okay, but I still want to give it a try and at least show an attitude."
