Chapter 565

Eric doesn't have a real character in mind, but his favorite female character from the Resident Evil series, the mysterious, glamorous, and tough Chinese agent Ada Wang.

Looking at the Chinese girl who occupied his seat again, Eric found that the other party's outfit was exactly the same as the image of Ada Wang in the novel version of Resident Evil that he had written based on the plot of the game for several years, and in the novel version, Eric's description of Ada Wang did not follow the cheongsam costume of the previous generations of the game, but the short-haired red-clothed queen costume from the six generations of games.

Noticing that someone was approaching, the girl, who had been slightly bowing her head and seemed to be a little absent-minded, raised her head, and immediately showed a look of bewilderment when she saw Eric looking at her with a smile.

The two face each other, Eric also recognized each other's identities, and in his memory "X-Men 2" in the Chinese character Kelly Hu, although in the Marvel Comics universe, the Death Girl has the same strong self-recovery ability as Wolverine, but unfortunately there is no protagonist halo in the movie version, and she played soy sauce after just a few scenes.

Noticing Eric looking at herself without saying a word, Kelly Hu was even more apprehensive. Although "Resident Evil" has not yet been established, the news has already spread all over Hollywood. Kelly Hu's agent thought she might be able to fight for the role of Ada Wong, so when he learned that Eric was about to appear on the catwalk of a clothing company at New York Fashion Week, he went to great lengths to get an invitation.

Although Emily's family-run Brighton clothing company is only a mid-range clothing brand, Emily invited several Hollywood A-list superstars to attend because of Eric's connection. Hu Kaili is not famous like this, let alone a small star of Chinese descent, of course, it is impossible to get a place in the front row. You can't spend money.

But. Kelly Hu's agent came up with an idea for her, that is, to enter early, find a seat with Eric's name written on it, remove the tag with his name written on it, and sit on it herself, so that she could get a chance to contact Eric. This is also a very common way for many small stars who can't get VIP invitations to compete for positions in the fashion show, because big names often come late, and some small stars and models who want to be famous use this method, and when the main person enters and finds that his place is occupied, but the fashion show is about to start. So I could only squeeze in with the people in the front row. As long as you don't encounter a particularly genuine brand, this approach can often succeed.

The front row of many fashion shows is often very crowded, and many times it is not because there are not enough seats, but because there are too many gaseers.

It seems that the plan never changes quickly, and Kelly Hu, who had originally made all the plans, didn't expect that Eric would come in early.

Eric looked at Hu Kaili's flustered appearance, shook his head slightly, and said, "Miss, this is not right, Ida is a woman who will remain 100% calm and confident even in the face of a desperate situation." ”

Hu Kaili saw the smile on the corner of Eric's mouth and knew that the other party was not angry. Quickly calming down from the panic, Ying Ying got up and stretched out her little hand towards Eric: "Hello." Mr. Williams, my name is Kelly Hu. ”

"Hello," Eric shook his hand at the other man, looked at the seat next to him with Nicolas Cage's name written on it, sat down casually, and gestured to Kelly Hu, who was still standing there, to take a seat.

Hu Kaili sat down a little reservedly, remembering Eric's words just now, she straightened up slightly, but the faint lack of confidence in her expression still lingered, so she forgot all the words she had prepared for a while.

In Hollywood, black people have barely gained a place after a long period of struggle and positive factors, and they can no longer only play negative roles such as thieves and liars, but since the birth of Hollywood, Asians have never gained any weighty status in this field. If it weren't for Ida Wang's Chinese-American identity in "Resident Evil," Kelly Hu wouldn't have had any confidence to sit here and approach the young mogul who has suddenly risen to prominence in Hollywood in recent years. Even so, she was still very worried that the movie version would change Ada Wang to a white person or some other race.

Although it was the first time to meet, as a traveler from the East, Eric's closeness to Hu Kaili was almost instinctive, and seeing that the girl didn't speak, Eric took the initiative to ask: "Miss Hu, where do I seem to have seen you, are you an actor?"

Kelly Hu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Mr. Williams, you can call me Kelly, I played a role in "Growing Pains", in addition, I also played a role in the eighth "Friday the Thirteenth", "Iron Man Running Wild" starring Mickey Rourke and the biopic "The Gate" starring Fang Kimer. ”

Listening to the nervous tone of Hu Kaili's resume, Eric smiled, Hu Kaili said that although Eric had heard of several movies, he had not seen them.

Noticing Eric's chuckle, Kelly Hu once again involuntarily lowered her head, these movies are not worth mentioning for a big director like Eric, who has accumulated more than one billion dollars at the box office in North America, not to mention that she is just some insignificant small roles in the movie.

There were more and more people in the show, and Eric was just about to continue talking, when he heard a magnetic male voice sound: "Eric, I'm so happy to see you again, how are you doing?"

Eric turned his head and saw that it was Nicolas Cage and Brigitte Fonda walking side by side, and got up to greet him, as the hero and heroine of the world's "Ghost Love", Nicolas Cage and Brigitte Fonda have been in Hollywood for the past two years, and have maintained their status as first-line superstars. The couple in "Human Ghost" can attend this show together, and it will definitely be hyped up in the newspapers tomorrow, and the impact will definitely not be much worse than Eric's.

"Long time no see, Nick," Eric hugged Nicolas Cage before turning to Brigitte Fonda, "Brigitte, you're so much prettier again." ”

Brigitte Fonda stepped forward and greeted Eric affectionately, saying, "Thank you for the compliment, Eric. It's just that no matter how beautiful it is, it's useless. You must have taken me ...... And Nick both forgot. ”

The three of them walked together to the grandstand seats. When Kelly Hu saw Nicolas Cage and Brigitte Fonda appear at the same time, a trace of envy flashed in her eyes, and she involuntarily stood up.

Cage just glanced at Kelly Hu and gossiped with Eric again, but Brigitte Fonda looked Kelly Hu up and down curiously, and said to Eric with some confusion: "Eric, don't you want us to introduce this young lady?"

"This is Kelly Hu, a friend. She is also an actor," Eric introduced, taking care of Kelly Hu's face, and did not mention that the two had just met.

Kelly Hu also realized Eric's kindness, suppressed the faint gratitude in her heart, and took the initiative to say hello to Nicolas Cage and Brigitte Fonda, and when she saw Eric and the three of them sitting down, she also sat quietly next to Eric.

As soon as he sat down, Cage couldn't wait to ask, "Eric, I've been to see Jurassic Park several times." It's fantastic, though. Why haven't you heard about your new work lately?"

Eric shook his head and said with a smile: "Because I haven't found a script of interest yet, and I have too many things to deal with, so the next movie may have to wait for a long time, what about you, what have you been busy with lately?"

"We've just received a script from Universal, and we haven't decided whether to play it yet," Cage said, glancing at Brigitte Fonda.

"You two together?"

Cage nodded and said, "Michael Eisner personally invited it, and the salary is also very high, but we haven't thought about it yet." ”

Eric also understands Cage's hesitation, although the CP effect formed by the two in "Human Ghost" is very strong, so it also causes the two to work together again, and they will definitely get a sky-high salary, but if the movie fails, then this CP effect will be greatly affected, and it may even become a one-time consumption, so he is very cautious about the choice of script.

"Eric, why don't you tell us about the script and you can help us with the staff?" Brigitte Fonda said as she leaned forward slightly next to Cage and looked at Eric expectantly.

Eric thought for a moment, didn't refuse, and said, "Okay, but now is not the time, the catwalk will start soon." ”

"Then we'll have to wait for the reception," Cage immediately chimed in.

As soon as the two chatted for a few words, they saw a father and daughter, one older and one young, walk in, and Donald Trump, who had a sleek hairstyle, saw Eric and walked over very excitedly, completely ignoring the roll of his daughter's eyes beside him.

Eric was a little surprised by Trump's appearance, but he quickly remembered Emily's statement that the show would be celebrated at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, which happened to be owned by the Trump Company.

"Eric, we're meeting again," Trump said familiarly, giving Eric a bear hug.

Eric glanced at Trump's hairstyle and teased, "Donald, you're a lot more handsome." ”

"Thank you, Eric, but I think so myself. ”

"Dad is so stupid, he's obviously mocking you. A crisp little figure beside him immediately rang out.

Trump was a little embarrassed, Eric looked at Ivanka Trump, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and immediately pretended to be surprised, and said, "Wow, whose little beauty is this, I can't even recognize it." ”

Ivanka lifted her chin slightly and snorted proudly, completely ignoring Eric's meaning.

"Ini, don't be so rude," Trump said immediately.

Although she is only twelve years old and has a height of 1.5 meters, Ivanka did not hesitate to roll her father's eyes, Eric saw the girl's delicate appearance, couldn't help laughing, looked at Ivanka's simple pale yellow dress, and asked, "Ini, don't you think you are missing something?"

Ivanka immediately looked down at her dress, and after a while, she raised her head and said, "What's missing?"

"Muppet, I think you could hold a king-size one. ”

Ivanka pouted her pink little mouth proudly, pulled her father and walked towards the stands, looking like she didn't intend to pay attention to Eric anymore.

The Trump father and daughter were seated to the right of Brigitte Fonda, and Eric sat down between the two groups to make it easier to chat.

Hu Kaili looked at Eric, who was sitting in the middle of several people talking and laughing, and before she had time to lose, she saw a girl with a work card around her neck walking out of the backstage, her eyes swept over the seat, and she immediately stared at Hu Kaili, and stepped forward and said, "This young lady, can I take a look at your invitation?"

Hu Kaili was shocked, but she still took out the invitation letter from her handbag and handed it to the other party. The girl just glanced at it and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Hu, there are more guests today, and the front row is already crowded, so please go back to your seat?"

The conversation between the two quickly attracted the attention of several people who were chatting, and Eric recognized that the girl with the work card around her neck was the female assistant who had accompanied him and Eva before, and saw Hu Kaili's helpless appearance, and took the initiative to open her mouth to relieve the girl's siege and said: "Kelly is my friend, if you can, let her sit in the front row." ”

The female assistant didn't dare to refuse directly when she saw Eric speaking in person, but she still said: "Mr. Williams, it's okay to squeeze a little, but Miss Hu is now sitting in Ms. Wintour's position......

Eric glanced at it, his seat was vacant, and Kelly Hu had just sat casually on his left, not expecting that it would be the seat of Anna Wintour, the famous editor-in-chief of Vogue, and that Emily would arrange the other party next to him.

Although she didn't know Anna Wintour, Eric knew that it must have taken a lot of thought to bring the fashion queen here, so she beckoned to Hutchiley and asked her to come and sit on her side.

The female assistant breathed a sigh of relief, but did not leave, standing near the stands and staring at the guests who came in from time to time, it was estimated that Emily was specially sent to guard the VIP position, and sure enough, in the next few minutes, the female assistant invited several small stars to the front row to rub the position.

There were more and more people in the show, and seeing that the number of people was almost over, the female assistant was just about to leave, but was stopped by Eric's beckoning.

"Williams, what's the matter?" the female assistant asked, leaning over slightly over to Eric.

Eric hooked his finger at the girl, and waited for the other party to crouch down and get closer, before whispering, "Do me a little favor......"

The girl smiled and nodded, glanced at Ivanka next to her, and left with a smile. (To be continued......)
