Chapter 737 - More Promising
Chapter 737
As she thought about things, Elizabeth Hurley pushed open the glass door on the rooftop and walked over with her breakfast. The girl was simply wrapped in a very short white bathrobe, revealing two seductive long legs, her brown hair was slightly loose, her thin lips were lightly pursed, and her eyes were lazy, exuding a different kind of seduction.
"Morning, Liz," Eric said hello after a moment of unabashed appreciation.
"Morning, Eric," Elizabeth Hurley nodded with a reserved smile and sat down next to Eric.
Compared with yesterday's glamorous makeup, Elizabeth Hurley at this time was only wearing a slight light makeup, not even lipstick, Eric noticed that compared to the image in his memory, Elizabeth Hurley at this time was more in line with his own aesthetics, at least, she definitely had lip augmentation surgery later, because Westerners regard lip augmentation as beauty, and many actresses have had similar plastic surgery.
But Eric is very uninterested in lip augmentation, at least there is no similar woman around him, Nicole once had the idea of lip augmentation stopped by Eric, the girl's just right little mouth is the best in Eric's opinion, why should it be made into a weird sausage mouth. Over the years, Eric has not had a similar heroine in the movies he has handled.
This has also caused that in recent years, the aesthetics of women in Hollywood movies have changed imperceptibly under the influence of Eric's personal preferences. Maybe in a few years, under the influence of various film and television dramas, people's aesthetics will change completely, and the aesthetic trend of the general public has always changed with the trend of the media.
"Eric. What are you looking at?", noticing Eric's eyes. Elizabeth Hurley asked curiously.
Eric said, "Your lips." It's beautiful. ”
Elizabeth Hurley smiled and said, "Thank you, but my agent has always felt that my surname is not enough, and he suggested that I have lip augmentation surgery." ”
"I think women with thick lips are ugly. ”
"No, everybody's like," said Elizabeth Hurley in astonishment.
Eric shrugged, "I don't like it very much, anyway. ”
Elizabeth Hurley snorted, she had thought of following her agent's advice and making an appointment for a minor surgery in the near future. However, at this time, this thought was dispelled in my heart.
Eric finished his breakfast, continued to read the newspaper, and casually chatted with Elizabeth Hurley, "What have you been up to lately?"
"Ah," Elizabeth Hurley looked up, her mind moved, and still said, "Recently, there was only one announcement of the guest judges who participated in the "American Top Model Competition". ”
"And then?"
And then ...... Not yet," replied Elizabeth Hurley, who had planned to take advantage of the opportunity to compete in the America's Top Model Contest. Get in touch with Cindy Crawford to see if she can help introduce her to this year's Victoria's Secret show. It's just that yesterday Eric had completely blocked her thoughts.
In Hollywood, most of the people who work are frequently unemployed, in fact, the modeling circle is similar, even the top batch of supermodels are unlikely to have jobs all year round. Of course, the top batch of supermodels no longer need to worry about their livelihoods, but more ordinary girls who have just entered this industry are not so easy, in order to maintain the high cost of living in the metropolis, they have to find a variety of part-time jobs to support themselves while waiting for job opportunities.
Elizabeth Hurley belongs to the type that is a little inferior and not up to the bottom, with her own fame, she already has a good reputation, but although she has the reputation of a supermodel, she has never been a professional model, in recent years, in order to develop towards the film and television industry, she has neglected model-related work.
Thinking of this, Elizabeth Hurley looked up at Eric, remembering the bottle of red wine worth tens of thousands of dollars that he casually poured on her last night, and her heart was inexplicably looking forward to it. But she's also a very smart woman, and if the two hadn't slept together, she would have given up her reserve and boldly asked Eric for a chance, but at this point, if she did, everything last night would have turned into a deal.
Therefore, this kind of thing can only be said by another man, even if Eric doesn't say anything, she won't be stupid enough to take the initiative.
Eric answered, seemingly unaware of Elizabeth Hurley's eyes, and continued to look down at the newspaper.
Had breakfast, the time was just past eight o'clock.
The Firefly Group staff in New York happened to deliver a bag of goods to Eric.
"Try it, I'll have someone buy it," Eric pulled out a script from it and handed the rest of the bag to Elizabeth Hely, who was still in her bathrobe.
Elizabeth Hurley took the bag and opened it, looked at it, thanked Eric, and the girl turned back to the bedroom, and came out again, already wearing a burgundy dress.
Eric, who was sitting on the sofa flipping through the script, turned his head and glanced at it, and said with a smile: "It's beautiful, it's much more beautiful than last night's 'that', I said, you're very suitable for wearing red." ”
Elizabeth Hurley's face was slightly red, although everything had been cleaned up last night, but at this time the living room could still smell the faint smell of wine, she walked up to Eric, Ying Ying sat down, and asked, "Eric, did you pick this, it is very beautiful, and it fits well." ”
"yes," Eric nodded, and he asked people to pick out clothes for Elizabeth Heli. Noticing that the girl leaning next to her casually glanced at the script in her hand, Eric handed it over casually: "Now, take a look." ”
"Ah, is that okay?" Elizabeth Hurley pretended to be surprised to take it from Eric's hand, glanced at the name of the script, "Ace Spy", and quickly glanced at the synopsis of the script, and was immediately a little disappointed.
She has starred in many film and television dramas, although many of them are small roles, but she still has some vision, and the script in her hand is probably just the kind of vulgar comedy that costs one or two million. In this kind of movie, even if the heroine is usually just a vase. Although she also knows that if she wants to enter Hollywood, most of the time. It can only start from a vase. But the script came from Eric. It's a little below her personal expectations.
Eric handed the script to Elizabeth Hurley, got up to change his clothes, and prepared to rush to the crew of "The Pride of the Bridge", and this morning to discuss the adjustment plan for the show.
After changing his clothes and returning to the living room, looking at Elizabeth Hurley, who was still looking at the script in his hand seemingly intently, Eric smiled noncommittally, he just took advantage of the girl's change of clothes to flip through it casually, seriously. He had no interest in the script at all, it was a pure spoof comedy, and he believed that Elizabeth Hurley would never be interested either.
"Liz, let's go, I'll send you to work first. You can take the script back and read it, and if you're interested, the heroine is yours. ”
Elizabeth Hurley picked up her handbag and got up, and with a twist of thought, followed Eric out the door and into the elevator together. He made up his mind and said, "Eric." I don't really like this character, and it seems that there are a lot of tricks. ”
Elizabeth Hurley thought very well that if she accepted the role at this time, even if Eric offered it, it could all turn into a transaction, and the role might not necessarily help her career. If she refuses, with the touch of ambiguous sister relationship brought by last night's overnight joy, this powerful man may be able to bring her more unexpected opportunities in the future.
Eric was a little surprised, but he immediately understood Elizabeth Hurley's thoughts, and he didn't mind too much, he still liked smart women who knew how to advance and retreat, not to mention, the women around him were a little cautious, and it was unlikely that it would have any effect on him.
"Well, forget it," Eric laughed, "Actually, I don't like the script either." ”
Elizabeth Heliyang raised the script in her hand: "Then why are you still ......"
"Because I can make money," Eric said bluntly, "I'm the boss of a film company, and I can't veto some film projects that can bring revenue to the company because of my personal preferences." ”
Elizabeth Hurley smiled along, knowing that no one could act freely by their own will. Of course, a big man of Eric's level must have a much higher degree of freedom than ordinary people, although he just said that, when Eric really dislikes this project very much and vetoes it, it will not have any impact on the huge Firefly Group at all.
The two went downstairs and got into the luxury car waiting in the parking lot, and Eric asked again, "Speaking of which, do you think you can change your accent?"
Elizabeth Hurley has a very standard British accent, and even played the Queen of England in the original time and space with this accent.
Hearing Eric's words, Elizabeth Hurley said without hesitation: "If necessary, of course no problem." ”
"If you can learn a standard Manhattan accent and be willing to appear in a TV series, you'll have a good chance next year. ”
"Next year?"
Eric nodded, "yes, next year." ”
Elizabeth Hurley was reluctant to act in any TV series, but she still asked very cautiously: "Eric, may I ask first, what TV series is it?"
"It's probably about a fashion writer who lives in Manhattan, and I can guarantee that if you get this role, your future prospects will definitely be more promising than you would be in Hollywood. Eric said, of course, he was referring to the "Lust City" that caused a huge repercussion, at this time, the copyright of the original novel of this TV series has been bought by the production department of Firefly, but Eric has not revealed the specific production plan to the relevant personnel for the time being.
The core heroine in the original version is Sarah Jessica Parker, and with this TV series, Sarah Jessica Parker has even become a symbol of the entire Manhattan, which shows the great influence of "Lust City". It's just that Eric really doesn't feel the original heroine, and Elizabeth Hurley next to her is in line with the heroine's setting in terms of age and appearance, of course, the only obstacle is her accent. If it can't be changed, even if "Lust City" succeeds as expected, the heroine with an authentic London accent will never become a symbol of Manhattan, and the impact will be much smaller.
Elizabeth Hurley certainly wouldn't be moved by Eric's words, but she wouldn't have any doubts about Eric's judgment, this man had no reason to fool her, an insignificant little woman, thought about it, and said, "Then, I'll go to a speaking class when I have time." ”
She also thought very clearly that something like an accent could never become her personal advantage. Although many Hollywood actors are talking about and learning the British accent in order to appear in British movies, she does not have the acting strength of Shakespeare's plays.
Eric nodded and sent Elizabeth Hurley to his destination, where he quickly returned to the Flyover crew.
On July 21, the last two blockbusters of the 1995 summer file, "007: Golden Eye" and "The Line of Fire", were released as scheduled.
After three days of box office battles over the weekend, "007: GoldenEye" collected $29 million at the box office in its first weekend with more than 2,800 canvases. Although this achievement still failed to suppress the stamina of "Wonderful Night at the Museum", it left "The Line of Fire", which has an equal film schedule, far behind. Three days after its release, "The Line of Fire" only received $8.4 million at the U.S. box office, and although it received a good reputation, it was still difficult for the film to recover its cost at the box office, and Warner could only hope for future merchandise and videotape and DVD releases.
Compared with the two new films, "Wonderful Night at the Museum" is extremely eye-catching, following the box office of more than $86 million in the first week, the box office on the weekend of the second week fell by only 20%, and in three days, it once again exploded $47.7 million, firmly occupying the first position in the box office list.
You must know that at the end of last year, the total box office of "Game of the Brave" in the same period was only a little more than 100 million US dollars, and the cumulative box office of "Wonderful Night at the Museum" in ten days of release has exceeded 130 million US dollars, which is completely another big dark horse in this summer file.
