Chapter 795: Two Years and Nine Months
"Ini, considering the shooting environment, this doll will be replaced with a puppet backpack," In the crowd, Eric held a green oval puppet backpack with exaggerated big eyes and slender limbs and gestured towards Ivanka, although this puppet backpack suddenly looked a little strange, not at all as cute as those puppet backpacks like bunny bears, but the puppet's grinning appearance was a bit cute:" Now, don't underestimate it, it's called Mike, it's the protagonist of Disney's next animated movie, and now the film hasn't even released a trailer, and you're definitely the first person to see Mike......"
Ivanka stood opposite Eric, wearing the same one-piece tennis skirt as the three Giselle girls, feeling the ridicule or joke or interest of the people around her, very shy, and interrupted Eric's words softly with a slightly red face: "Eric, you, don't talk about it, okay, I didn't say I didn't want to." ”
Eric was stunned for a moment, stopped talking, handed the puppet backpack to the girl, and complained very regretfully: "Ini, you have changed." ”
Many crew members at the scene have followed Eric's old team since "Home Alone", and they clearly remember the past when Eric even coaxed and occasionally had to pay $20 for Ivanka to appear on the scene, and when they heard Eric's words, they finally couldn't help it, a group of people laughed at the same time, and the others laughed even if they didn't quite understand what was going on, and the scene was cheerful.
Eric looked at the girl who ran away because of shyness, slapped his face, and said loudly: "OK, everyone is starting to prepare for shooting, and I will leave it after work if I haven't finished laughing." ”
The current scene is about the ghost party in the past after discovering Bond's identity, realizing that Alex and his wife may have betrayed the organization, and decisively executed the two, Bond saw Alex assassinated with his own eyes, realized that Caterina was also in danger, and hurriedly returned to Paradise Island, but it was still a step too late, and Caterina died in the big bed like the fate of many Bond girls.
In order to find out the truth, Bond goes to the Ocean Club Center to check the surveillance footage of Caterina before and after her death.
"Casino Royale Act 21, Scene 3, Action!"
Bond parked his car and walked to the plaza in front of the Ocean Club Center, crouching down and pretending to tie his shoelaces while looking up at the surveillance cameras around him.
Another Bond subjective view camera swept over the crowd at the camera installation position in front of the square, and in the front left of the lens, four young girls in white tennis skirts walked over together laughing.
After all, the three Giselle girls participated in the filming for the first time, and Ivanka had not had a similar experience for a long time, although it was a long shot, the performance of the four girls was still obviously unnatural, and Miranda also glanced at the camera curiously.
Eric called out the card in time, personally stepped forward to explain the essentials to several girls, and then continued.
Next, five shots were taken in a row, but the results were not very good, and Eric had to gather several girls together again.
The three daughters of Giselle have already shown nervous looks, and even Ivanka's expression is a little apprehensive.
Looking at the pitiful little appearance of several girls, Eric was not angry, and soothed: "Relax, just like you usually talk and laugh and walk, you just treat the people around you and the camera as if they don't exist." However, I have to remind you that everyone's time is precious, so you can only try three more times at most, and if that doesn't work, I'll have to cut out the frontal shot, and you'll only have one back. Come, together, take a deep breath and relax. ”
The girls inhaled at the same time obediently, and as they moved, Eric's gaze couldn't help but move down slightly, and he secretly sighed that these little goblins were developing so well.
Hurriedly putting aside these messy thoughts, Eric clapped his hands and said, "Okay, continue to bury the position, and we'll come again." ”
Threatened with the possibility that the camera might be cut, several girls finally broke through in their next performance, took two more shots, and passed smoothly.
In the next shot, the girls pass by Bond, who is mistaken for a parking boy by a tourist, and creates a small mess in the parking lot while parking, luring the security guards in the surveillance room away and finding the two killers from the surveillance footage during Caterina's killing.
With the clues of these two killers, Bond used the British MI6's intelligence channels in the Bahamas to track down Miami all the way, dismantling a group's plot to blow up the latest prototype of Sky Arrow Airlines' upcoming test flight, and thus starting a head-to-head confrontation with the Phantoms.
Of course, these episodes will definitely not be filmed in a day, and a few scenes in the center of the Ocean Club are roughly completed, and the day's filming work is over.
Dinner time, the resort restaurant where Casino Royale is stationed.
"Ms. Zernikova, I'm glad you brought Ivanka over," At the dinner table, Eric once again thanked Ivanka's mother, who happened to experience the divorce of Ivanka's parents, although the couple had some unpleasant quarrels, but Ivana Zelnikova was the mother of Donald's three children after all, and after a few years, the relationship between the two sides also eased.
Ivana Zernikova said: "It's our pleasure, Eric, and Donald asked me to take him to say hello to you when we came. ”
"Oh, what has he been up to lately?"
Eric asked casually, and at the same time kicked a restless little foot girl under the table, warning Miranda next to him not to make any more trouble, Giselle's three daughters were sitting next to him at this time, six people around a round table, watching Eric only care about talking to Ivanka's mother and daughter, the girl was obviously a little jealous.
Ivana Zernikova thought for a moment and looked at her daughter next to her.
Ivanka said: "Dad went to Washington, it seems that he received an invitation from the president and his wife. ”
This year happens to be an election year in the United States, and several candidates are desperately trying to rally support, and Eric is not surprised that he has been invited more than once, but he does not want to get involved too deeply.
Of course, because the governing philosophies of different presidents will be very different, Eric doesn't want the next president to suddenly become some family that only fights for oil all over the world. In order to avoid too many variables in history, Eric still chose to support Clinton, although he did not like this person, but also privately donated a sum of campaign funds to the past. The Clintons wanted to come to visit in person, but Eric refused, so they expressed their gratitude by phone several times. After all, Eric's donation does not represent a check for hundreds of thousands of dollars, but the attitude of the entire Firefly group in this election.
Firefly has grown to its current size, and the governing strategy of each government may affect the development of the group, and Eric must choose a side that is in his own interest in this matter, even if he does not want to get too involved in the political system.
At this time, hearing Ivanka's words, Eric remembered some things from his previous life and asked, "Your father seems to have said that he also wants to run for president, right?"
Ivanka didn't know why, but nodded.
Eric half-jokingly asked, "Now, Ini, what do you think your dad will be like when he is elected president?"
Ivanka tilted her head seriously and thought about it, then laughed shyly, but did not answer Eric's words.
Eric only mentioned it casually, quickly changed the topic, and said to Ivana Zernikova: "If you are not in a hurry to go back, you two can stay in the Bahamas for a few more days, this resort has been chartered by the crew, and there are some spare rooms, we will probably stay here for a month." ”
"Thank you for your hospitality, Eric. Ivana Zernikova smiled and thanked that Ivanka had already taken a summer vacation, and the mother and daughter were not in a hurry to return to New York.
After dinner, Eric checked the footage for today's shoot as usual, and returned to his lodgings at nearly nine o'clock.
This resort has just been built not long ago, most of them are single-family serviced apartments, and the rest of the crew are crowded into one apartment, Eric has a special status, plus in addition to his work as a director, he often has to deal with some affairs from the Firefly system, and it is inconvenient to live with other people, so he occupies an apartment alone.
Back at the quarters, Eric's assistant was already waiting.
"Mr. Williams, this is the script for the sequel to The Matrix that came from Los Angeles this morning, and in addition, there are detailed financial statements for the new year's advertising bidding for the group's television business......" The assistant introduced one by one, handing a few documents to Eric.
"Okay, you can go back and rest first. ”
Eric sent his assistant away, walked into the living room, put the papers on the coffee table, stretched his tired body after a busy day, and was about to take a shower first, when there was a soft knock on the door.
Guessing who it would be, Eric shook his head with a smile and opened the door, and sure enough, there were three Giselle girls standing outside.
Seeing Eric looking at the three of them without speaking, Giselle took the initiative to speak, "Eric, I, we want to say goodnight to you." ”
"Come in," Eric stepped out of the way, and the three girls walked into the living room together.
Giselle and Alexander saw Miranda unceremoniously slump down on the sofa and sat down with him, but noticing Eric looking at the three of them with a smile on his face, Giselle quickly got up again and said, "Eric, do you have coffee, I'll help you get it." ”
"In the kitchen, don't be too thick," Eric ordered, watching Randa pick up the remote control and turn on the TV, "You guys watch TV first, don't mess with the papers on the table, I'll take a shower." ”
The two girls nodded obediently, and Eric walked upstairs.
After taking a shower, Eric changed into a casual T-shirt and jeans, and went downstairs to see three girls sitting on two sofas distinctly, Giselle and Alexander occupying the two-seater, and Miranda unconcernedly nestled on the single sofa next to her like a kitten.
Holding the thick papers, Eric walked to the single sofa on the other side, picked out the advertising bidding report of the TV business, flipped through it, and casually asked Giselle: "This month's "VOGUE" should be published soon, how is the cover arrangement?"
"It won't be published until the 10th, but I'm just trying to show you," Giselle said, taking out the bag he had just brought with him, pulling out a stack of photographs, and leaning over to sit down on the armrest of the couch.
Eric temporarily closed the financial statements, took the photos handed over by Giselle, and admired them one by one, the girl in the photo was painted with light smoky makeup, wearing an autumn and winter light gray women's trench coat, stepping on high heels, and her body was half lying on a rectangular prop in a bewitching manner, looking at the camera with a charming atmosphere, like a lazy cat.
Miranda didn't know when she had come over, looked at the picture in Eric's hand, and said, "Wow, it's beautiful, but I'll be able to take a picture like that, Eric." ”
Eric smiled, and Giselle ignored Miranda, picking out a picture of her sitting on the sofa full of queen style, dumb voice, but very excited, and said: "Eric, this is the one who wants to be on the cover, but Anna said that these photos are very good, and gave me six more pages of photos." ”
Eric was also pleased with the results of the photos, and said, "When this issue of Vogue is published, you will definitely be busy, so work hard." ”
"Of course, actually, um...... Thank you, Eric," Giselle said, leaning over cautiously, seeing that Eric did not object, leaned over and kissed him on the face, but, perhaps without getting his balance right, Giselle was just about to return to his sitting position, but the whole person fell into Eric's arms.
So, Miranda, who was sitting on the armrest on the other side, kicked her calf lightly in dissatisfaction.
Eric helped Giselle sit down, reached out and grabbed Miranda's two restless slender legs and put them on his knees, admired them, and said with a smile: "It's only been nine months, so don't toss anymore." ”
Because of being caught by Eric's legs, Miranda leaned on the armrest in a weird posture, her face was slightly red, but she asked curiously, "What nine months?"
Eric patted the long straight leg under Giselle's hot pants next to him: "Now, this is a year, Alexander is also a year, and you are nine months." ”
Giselle and Alexander were puzzled by Eric's novel 'unit of measurement', but it didn't stop them from looking at Miranda with a little smugness.
Miranda rubbed disgruntled on Eric, reluctantly contrasting with the other two girls, and said, "I'm not nine months, well, at least, ten months." ”
"Hehe, there will be ten months later," Eric said, flipping the girl's long legs, "Alright, go watch TV, and go back to bed on time." ”
Miranda snorted, "Eric, can I sleep here?"
"No, you can't. ”
"But I'm afraid of the dark," Miranda continued to find an excuse, and betrayed Giselle a little, pretending that he had no intention of it, "the two of them sleep together, but I am alone." ”
"That's what I asked them to sleep with, well, can I find you a companion when I have time?"
"No, I don't. (To be continued.) )
