Seeing Eric's appearance that he could explode at any moment, Arnolde. Carpenter didn't stay any longer, put down a business card with a simple contact information, and said, "Mr. Williams, anytime you want to talk, just call this number." ”

After the last sentence was spoken, Arnolde. Carpenter got up and left. Eric casually threw the business card into the trash, got up and went to the study, took out the voice recorder in his pocket and pressed the play button, and the sound of two people talking came from inside. Then, he took out the video tape he had just carved from a monitor in his study, turned on the video recorder, stuffed the tape in, and pressed the play button.

Arnhorn. The image of Carpenter sitting in front of the camera appeared on the TV screen, and the clear picture quality made Arnhorne. Carpenter's every move is so delicate that even an ordinary person can roughly tell what the other person is saying from the fanning of the other person's lips.

The videotape didn't last long, and it was over quickly, and Eric put the recorder and the videotape together in the safe and locked it, so that he could breathe a sigh of relief, at least, he wouldn't fall into his previous life Michael. Jackson is in a dilemma where he can't justify himself at all.

It's funny to say, under normal circumstances, few people would install cameras in their own homes, but who made this villa built after the Iron Man mansion in memory?

Since it is an imitation, then these small details must not be forgotten. Not only the living room, but many places in the manor have cameras connected to his study, as long as Eric wants to, sitting in the study, he can know the wind and grass in any part of the entire manor.

Unexpectedly, on a whim at that time, he got a harvest that was crucial to him today.

January 1, 1990, New Year's Day.

Jeffrey returned to Los Angeles at 10 a.m. He was accompanied by Chris. Hansen. Chris has resigned from Morgan Stanley. During this time, he had been preparing Eric's investment company, and when he heard what Eric said from his father, Chris was not at ease and followed him to Los Angeles.

After learning the details of what happened, the three of them not only did not discuss any solutions, but found that Firefly was now facing a lot of difficult problems, but Jeffrey and Chris never mentioned the matter of asking Eric to compromise with those people, and finally agreed to see each other next depending on the situation.

New Year's Day seems to be an ordinary past. But it's like the last quiet before the storm.

On January 2, Eric got up early in the morning and asked the maid to fetch today's newspaper, the front page of the Los Angeles Metropolis Journal, with a big headline in black and bold.

Eric. Williams: Hollywood's Most Hypocritical Playboy.

"Oh, it's not merciful at all," Eric glanced at a few photos on the front page, and his group photo with several women appeared on it one by one.

And the content of the body of the article is even more outrageous, distorting all the affairs of Eric's love of chasing beautiful women on a large scale, and portraying him as a shameless person who can't get a role from him without giving her flesh.

I flipped through several other newspapers. Although the more well-known Los Angeles Times did not have such news on it, many newspapers in the next edition had similar reports.

Since the end of the era of the big studios. As Hollywood's film industry becomes more and more sophisticated, those so-called unspoken rules no longer have the soil for survival, and stars are no longer members of the big studio without personal freedom, so there is no need to be played by those powerful people anymore.

But this does not mean that the unspoken rules have disappeared, but that this qiē has been laid out on the bright side.

In Hollywood, if an actor wants to climb all the way, without any background backing, he can only give his own flesh and body. Therefore, many years later, an American magazine listed dozens of tips for success on how to become a star, and the first one was: whether you are a man or a woman, and what your sexual orientation is, if you want to become a star, you must always be ready to provide sexual services to people who can open the way for your career.

Of course, although this kind of thing is very common in Hollywood, most people silently abide by these rules and do not break it, and occasionally there are a few unwilling 'rebels', and there are almost no big waves.

Of course, the public is not ignorant of the situation in the Hollywood circle, but what they can see has always been the most gorgeous and sunny side of Hollywood, so most of Hollywood's stars have a very positive image in the public's mind, and everyone is happy to indulge in this glitz.

And today, suddenly, someone will put the great Hollywood director Eric . After the scandals between Williams and many actresses were distorted and publicized, Eric undoubtedly became a passive 'rebel' against Hollywood rules, so after seeing these articles, Eric's image in the public mind must have plummeted.

Within hours of the new day's newspaper launch, Eric's mansion in Malibu was surrounded by paparazzi who had heard the news. Eric had planned to go out, but seeing this, he had to stay in the manor honestly.

……

In a small cottage in Beverly Hills, Aniston was waving the newspaper in her hand and screamed at Nicole who was sitting at the dining table: "Why, why is this, I treat you as a good friend, but you seduce my boyfriend, you Bichi, Drew is also Bichi, and, Julia. Roberts, and ......"

Xiao 丨 Niu excitedly read a series of names on the newspaper, and then tore the newspaper into powder and threw it at Nicole: "You are all Bichi, I've had enough!" ”

Nicole took out the confetti that flew into her collar with a faint expression, and then said: "You said that we are all Bichi, so what are you, if it weren't for Eric, would you be able to get the role of the heroine of "Friends", can you have the fame you have now?" ”

Aniston paused, and then said, "I'm his girlfriend!" ”

"So what?" Nicole looked up and said lightly, "Even if you're married, so what? ”

"You ......" Chick pointed at Nicole, gritted her teeth, and returned to her bedroom in hatred. Hula la-la stuffed his belongings into a simple suitcase. Pulled out of the way. Slapped a check in front of Nicole: "This is my rent, and from today onwards, I have nothing to do with you." ”

"Oh," Nicole picked up the check and looked at it, then folded it up, and stuffed it into the bra on her chest in front of Aniston, and threw a charming look at Aniston: "I'll take the extra money you give as a tip." ”

"Bichi!" He cursed again. Aniston pulled her suitcase and walked out.

Nicole watched the door of the living room clang, picked up a piece of newspaper scraps scattered on the dining table, spread it out to look at the contents, and muttered, "What a fool, I didn't even know that bastard was in trouble, and I knew I was jealous." ”

……

Aniston stuffed the suitcase into her car, just opened the gate of the small courtyard, and before she could get into the car, she was surrounded by several paparazzi.

"Miss Aniston, what do you think of today's newspaper content?"

"Jennifer, are you going to break up with Mr. Williams?"

"Miss Aniston. You and Nicole. Miss Kidman living together doesn't mean you're interested in her and Eric. What happened between Williams has long been clear? ”

“……”

Hear buzzing all around. Aniston irritated as she pushed away a tape recorder that had come to her eyes, and shouted, "Get out of here, I'll talk to Eric from now on. Williams has nothing to do with it, so don't bother me anymore. ”

The reporters were even more excited about Aniston's gaffe, and this is what they wanted, and if the person concerned appeared calm, they would certainly not be able to pull out more explosive news from it.

"Janie, will you continue to appear in 'Friends'?"

"Miss Aniston, are you sure you just said that you want to talk to Eric. Did Williams break up? ”

"...... Janie"

Aniston pushed away the crowd with a cold face, got into the car, slowly drove the car onto the road, got rid of the paparazzi, aimlessly walked around the streets and alleys of Los Angeles a few times, the mobile phone rang, after connecting, hearing her father's voice, the little girl parked the car slowly on the side of the road, and finally cried aggrievedly into the microphone.

……

"We're working on Eric right now. Williams is at the gate of his estate in the sharp corner of Malibu to do a live report for you, since the day before yesterday, Eric Brown. Williams' scandal with many actresses broke out suddenly, but more than 72 hours have passed, and the manor is still closed. Williams also did not come forward to make any clarifications. ”

A woman in a small blue suit with a microphone stands outside the bustling crowd of reporters and speaks to the camera, while behind her, in the background of the closed gates of the manor. Although three full days have passed, the turmoil in the newspapers has not subsided, so the number of reporters at the gate of the manor has not decreased, but has continued to increase, and at least more than a hundred people have gathered.

"Influenced by Eric. The impact of the Williams scandal, this week, the box office of the five movies being released by Firefly have all been affected by different Cheng dù, among them, "Sleepless in Seattle" was the most severely affected by the scandal, and the box office fell by more than 40% the next week, only getting $17 million at the box office, and the other three films, "Island Cry", "Home Alone 2" and "Steel Magnolia" also fell more than expected, and "Smelling a Woman" was the least affected because it was not released on a large scale. And according to the number published by the relevant statistical agencies, because Eric. As a result of the Williams scandal, the total box office losses of the five films could exceed $100 million. ”

"Influenced by Eric. Williams scandal implicated by Drew. Barrymore, Julia. Roberts, Nicole. Kidman, Virginia. Madsen, the three famous actresses, is currently in a state of silence, and none of them has made any statements, and we have no way of knowing whether the other party has been warned by some forces. And Eric. Williams has made his girlfriend Jennifer public. On the day of the scandal, Aniston announced that she had been in contact with Eric. Williams broke up. And Jennifer. The copyright of "Friends" starring Aniston completely belongs to Firefly, and after the couple turned against each other, there was also a huge suspense in the starring cast of the second season of "Friends". ”

"The famous model Lily who had an excellent performance in Home Alone 2. In an interview with the Manhattan Morning Post, Zimmerman publicly stated that Eric. Williams is a very gentle and considerate man, and many newspapers have attacked the young director as complete slander. So far, this is the only one of Eric's several films to play for Eric. Williams as the actress in defense. ”

In the Malibu mansion, Eric sat motionless on the couch, watching the rolling news about himself on the television not far away, and the coffee table and floor in front of him were covered with all kinds of newspapers.

Drew held a small tray with several delicate meals on it, and cautiously approached Eric: "Eric, do you want something to eat?" ”

Eric's eyes that had been staring at the TV moved, and then he turned his head to look out the window, there were still a few pieces of 'garbage' floating on the blue sea, and I don't know when, the sky had darkened again.

"Put it there, I'll eat it later."

Drew obediently put the tray in front of him on the coffee table, and sorted out the scattered newspapers for a while, before carefully approaching Eric's side, and after being with Eric for a long time, the girl was able to keenly feel any slight changes in Eric's feelings. Now, she felt that Eric was very angry, the kind of anger that could explode at any moment. Although she knew that Eric would definitely not take her anger out on her, the girl still became cringe.

After sitting quietly beside Eric for a while, Xiao Nizi said, "Eric, why don't I find a woman to come over?" ”

"Huh?" Eric gave the girl a puzzled look.

"I think, I think, you might need to vent." Drew's tone was sneering.

Eric smiled bitterly: "Who are you looking for, you don't think it's messy enough now." ”

"Or ......" Nizi slowly shrunk down and knelt on the floor, crawling to Eric's lap and reaching out to untie Eric's belt.

Eric stopped Drew's movements, touched Xiao Nizi's fluffy bag, and reluctantly smiled: "Okay, I really don't have this mood right now." ”

When Drew heard Eric say this, he stopped moving, but he still lay on Eric's lap, rubbed his face against Eric's thigh and said, "Eric, no matter what happens to them, I will always be yours." ”

"You misunderstood, Drew, I actually called them to prevent them from talking, in this case, it is best for them not to speak."

"Hmm," Drew snorted obediently, and at this point, Eric was right in everything he said. (To be continued......)
