"Well, I see, then, when will the movie start?"

"I don't know," Eric explained, taking a sip of champagne, "You see, the next post-production I need to do, after the movie comes out in July, I need to produce a TV series for Fox, and Barry Diller has asked me to direct the first two episodes myself, so I'm not sure when the film will start shooting." Tom, haven't you already made two movies this year, just enough to give yourself a vacation to rest for a while, being an actor is so tired, you can't enjoy life well, so what's the fun of getting such a high salary. ”

"Heh, according to what you said, you're going to shoot four movies this year, and I heard that you're also the producer of three other films, isn't a madman who makes seven movies a year out of love?"

"No, it's different," said the old god Eric, shaking his head, "I'm very different from you. ”

Hanks couldn't help but roll his eyes and teased, "Are you an alien?"

"Yes, my journey is the sea of stars!"

The two laughed together, and the pie lasted until twelve o'clock at midnight, and although Eric had been poured a few bottles of beer at first, he hadn't drunk much after that, so he refused to drive the car and drove slowly to his home.

In order to prevent the paparazzi, there are no street lights in front of the mansions of many Hollywood celebrities in Beverly Hills, and the same is true in front of Eric's house, so when Eric got out of the car and opened the door, the voice of the woman next to him really startled Eric.

The woman shouted his name, and then appeared in the light range of the car headlights, and Eric recognized the tall figure, it was Nicole Kidman, who had not heard from him for several days.

"Nicole, why are you here?" Eric asked subconsciously, and at the same time couldn't help but look the other party's outfit up and down, at this time Nicole Kidman was wearing a black slim long trench coat and black long heels on her feet, which set off the girl's figure even taller and more beautiful.

The girl couldn't help but take a step back under Eric's glance and stammered, "I...... I figured it out, I ...... I do. ”

"Would you like to marry me?" Eric couldn't help but tease, although the light was relatively weak, Eric still saw that the girl's fair face was quickly congested, so he stopped teasing, took out the key and opened the door and said, "Okay, let's go in with me first." ”

Nicole Kidman retreated to where she had been, pulled out a small suitcase, and got into Eric's car with her head down.

After parking the car, Eric took the girl to the villa and pointed to the sofa: "Nicole, you sit first." ”

Nicole Kidman put the suitcase next to the sofa, took off her trench coat and hung it on the hanger, and then sat down on the sofa with some restraint, and saw Eric turn around and walk into the kitchen, the girl's tense body relaxed a little, and looked around, although the villa is designed in a modern and simple style, but everywhere shows exquisiteness, although Nicole was born in a good middle-class family, but she is also full of envy for the mansion in Beverly Hills, which she has heard of for a long time, perhaps, if this man's promise is true, he only needs a few years to buy a villa like this in Beverly Hills, thinking of these, the girl's heart is a little less apprehensive, a little more anticipation.

Eric quickly walked out of the kitchen with his coffee, and Nicole Kidman quickly stood up and wanted to step forward.

"Sit down, you're still a guest now. Eric said as he pushed a cup of coffee in front of the girl.

Nicole Kidman sat down again, picked up the coffee, felt the hot temperature, and then put it on the coffee table again, rubbing her slender fingers on her knees a few times before she raised her head and looked directly at Eric: "Mr. Williams......"

"Call me Eric. ”

"Well, Eric, can you ...... first? That's OK...... I don't want to ......"

The girl's fingers were wringing on her knees, her voice was full of apprehension, afraid that she would be too eager to make the person opposite unhappy, but she hoped to hear some accurate promises from Eric, the girl didn't want to stay here by herself, she was played with as a maid and a plaything for several months, and finally was kicked out by the other party without knowing anyone, as for what Eric said before, Nicole Kidman didn't believe it at all, which is why she hesitated for several days, but the desire for fame and fortune made the girl finally unable to resist the temptation and take the initiative to send it to the door。

Eric admired the girl's embarrassed appearance for a moment with great interest before getting up and saying, "Wait a minute." With that, he walked towards the stairs.

Nicole Kidman stared at Eric's figure and disappeared at the corner of the stairs before retracting her gaze and subconsciously glancing at the trench coat hanging on the hanger not far away.

Eric came to the couch and put a few printed documents in front of Nicole Kidman: "The top is the script, and the next two are the actors' contracts, after you read and signed, keep one for yourself and give me the other." ”

Nicole Kidman didn't expect things to be so simple at all, and with some excitement picked up the top script and looked at the name.

As the girl flipped, Eric explained with coffee next to him: "The actor of this movie has been decided, played by Tom Hanks, as long as you pay a little attention to the entertainment news, you should know who Hanks is." The heroine could have been given to Julia Roberts, but the plan is that she also has a movie to be released at the end of the year, and the influence is too great, and she is not suitable for romantic comedies in a short period of time, I haven't had time to invite other actresses, you appeared in front of me, I have to say, Nicole, you are lucky. ”

Nicole Kidman listened attentively to Eric's explanation, but her eyes didn't leave the script for a moment, she quickly flipped through it, and the girl put the script back, she felt dizzy: "Eric, this, is this really for me?"

"Of course, but your qualifications in Australia are completely useless in Hollywood, so you can only be regarded as a newcomer, and the salary is the same as when Julia took over the filming, 300,000 US dollars, no dividends. ”

Nicole Kidman listened to Eric's narration and reached out again to take the two contracts, but Eric stopped the other party: "It's too late today, we should rest, anyway, there are still many months to go, you can take your time, just give me a copy after reading the signature." ”

When the girl heard Eric's words, she lowered her head slightly: "That...... All right. ”

"Follow me," Eric said, standing up, the girl holding a few documents in her arms, taking her trench coat and suitcase, and carrying Eric upstairs.

Eric led the girl to the second floor and opened a vacant bedroom: "This is your bedroom, the bedding is in the closet, it's all new, you make do with it overnight, if you are not satisfied, you can change it tomorrow." ”

"Well, thank you. The girl whispered, and Eric briefly introduced the facilities in the room before saying, "You can rest early, I'll go back to the bedroom." ”

Eric turned to leave, closed the bedroom door with his hand, and Nicole Kidman, who was standing next to the bed, was about to make a move, when the door was pushed open again, and the girl subconsciously hugged her chest, and quickly put it down again, biting her lip with her hands down, waiting for something to come.

Eric looked at the girl as a lamb to the slaughter, smiled and gestured in the air, and explained: "Nicole, I just forgot one of the most important things, I want to remind you that from tomorrow, you will start to fulfill your duties, I usually get up at seven o'clock, so I don't want you to get up later than me, and you have to prepare breakfast before eight o'clock, I am not picky about this, you can use the ingredients in the kitchen to make what you are best at, and the same goes for dinner." Cleaning the villa and its surroundings is also your job, and you can decide how you want to clean it, as long as it is tidy. ”

The girl nodded nervously, "Eric, I see. ”

"Okay, good night, go to bed early. Eric said, closing the bedroom door again.

Nicole heard the click of the door lock, sat down on the big bed behind her like a collapse, breathed a few times, stared at the door in a daze, waited for a few minutes, and made sure that the other party would not open the door again this time, the girl pulled the black trench coat on the big bed, took out the tape recorder from her inner pocket, pressed the stop button, and turned her eyes to a few documents on the bedside table, the corners of her mouth twitched, as if she wanted to evoke a smile, but she couldn't laugh.

After thinking about it, the girl still reversed the tape, turned down the voice, pressed the play button, and a sound came out of the tape recorder, although not too loud, but enough to clearly distinguish each line of dialogue.

Click-

The door was abruptly pushed open again, and Eric appeared in the door with a pillow in his arms: "Sorry, I think you need this ......"

With a snap, the tape recorder fell to the floor, bouncing a few times, but still stubbornly playing.

“…… Starring Tom Hanks, as long as you pay a little attention to entertainment news, you should know who Hanks is. The heroine could have been given to Julia Roberts's ......"

Eric's small but clear voice echoed through the silent bedroom at midnight, Eric stared at the small object in a daze, and Nicole didn't know how to react, sitting on the bed with cold hands and feet, her body trembling slightly, and her eyes filled with despair and fear.
