Eric felt Rachel's expectant gaze, shook his head, and said, "If you can be a few years older, it's about the same, this is a heroine movie, there is no supporting actress, and I hope the heroine can't be less than thirty years old." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Rachel Weisz nodded, although she was a little regretful, she was not too disappointed, after "Titanic", the last thing she lacked was a film contract. After a few more casual chats about Eric's films, she changed the subject and joked, "I heard you've been in London for more than a month, just for that hot girl group, "wannabe" sounds really interesting, and I even bought a disc." But what does that 'zigazig-ah' mean?"

"You can stop me," said Eric, who actually remembered that 'zigazig-ah' was 'shit-and-cigars,' which was not a good word, so it was replaced with a meaningless modality, but the allusion was not explained to Rachel, and he could only vaguely say, "I thought it would be catchy to add this to the lyrics." ”

Caroline sat next to Rachel and noticed Eric's expression as he spoke, and she understood that Eric was perfunctory to Rachel, and he must have known, but he just didn't want to explain it to Rachel. Glancing at Rachel and Melanie next to her, Caroline realized that she was the only one who had discovered this little secret, and the corners of her mouth curled.

Rachel just asked casually, she didn't have as much curiosity about this string of characters as the outside media and fans, since Eric didn't say it, she didn't go to the bottom of it, and said: "There are so many things about the Firefly Group, is it really okay for you not to go back to Los Angeles for so long?"

"I'm the boss, as a boss, if you can't do whatever you want, then what's the point of living. What about you, what have you been busy with lately?"

"I just made a cameo in a movie and just came back yesterday and plan to go back to Los Angeles after Christmas," Rachel said, putting his arm around Caroline affectionately and saying, "Also, Eric, how about giving Carly and Mel a day off, I want to go shopping with them on the town." ”

"No problem," Eric nodded cheerfully, "but you're a superstar now, aren't you afraid of being watched?"

"Hehe, just disguise it a little, I'll get rid of all the paparazzi by myself today. ”

"Then let's go play, I can come back whenever I want, I don't have anything important to do lately anyway. ”

Rachel nodded, and was about to pull Caroline and Melanie away together, when she suddenly remembered something, and said, "Eric, how about you go with us?"

Eric shook his head and said, "I'm afraid of being watched, so I still won't go." ”

"Hehe, what you just said, if you can't do whatever you want, then what's the point of living," Rachel seemed to be suddenly interested, and said, "So, let's go together, don't worry, we won't pull you over as a humanoid credit card." ”

When Caroline heard Rachel's suggestion, she also persuaded with some emotion: "Yes, Eric, come with us." ”

The 'ferocity' of the British paparazzi is world-famous. However, Rachel's plan was to shop and eat, and he didn't have the idea of wandering the streets with much fanfare, and Eric thought about it for a while and agreed. Leaving Rachel's Jaguar Monarch in the parking lot of Pinewood Studios, and borrowing two Mercedes-Benz vans that don't lift their eyes, Eric took a group of bodyguards and set off with Rachel and the three daughters to rush to the city of London.

Because I took the trouble to dress up, and I just shopped in some brand stores in a very low-key manner, and I went shopping for an afternoon, although it was inevitable that I would be recognized by a few people, nothing happened.

In the evening, the three women, who had almost filled the trunks of two Mercedes-Benz vans, were about to pick a restaurant for dinner, passing by the famous Harrods department store in Kensington, Rachel was in the mood to pick up some cosmetics, and Eric ordered the driver to park the car on the side of the road and walk into the Harrods department store with Rachel.

Speaking of which, Harrods, which focuses on luxury brands, is the property of the family of Princess Diana's last boyfriend, Dodi Fayd.

If it weren't for Eric's intervention, the memorial to Dodi Fayd and Princess Diana would have been located in this department store.

Now, although the two have parted ways, they are both alive and well. In a recent interview at another charity party at Kensington Palace, Princess Diana was asked about her impression of Eric, and bluntly stated to a reporter that 'Eric Williams is a very rude guy'.

Fortunately, the reporter who interviewed Princess Diana happened to be from the "Sun" newspaper owned by News Corporation, and Princess Diana's evaluation of Eric did not appear in the newspaper, but the interview recording somehow fell into Elizabeth's hands, and Eric was naturally ridiculed again.

Even though it's a weekday, Harrods has a lot more customers than those specialty stores.

Eric didn't want to be too conspicuous with the three girls, so he said hello to them, and wandered around the cosmetics section on the first floor for a long time.

As he was walking, a female voice suddenly came from beside him, and asked politely, "Sir, would you like to try Armani's latest men's perfume?"

Eric looked over and recognized the female promoter in front of him, and immediately raised an eyebrow.

What a coincidence, it happened again.

Victoria Adams smiled when she saw Eric stop, and held up the perfume in her hand to spray Eric with a little spray. However, noticing the strange expression in the expression of the man in front of her, she couldn't help but look at the other party carefully, and quickly widened her eyes and asked with some uncertainty, "You, are you, Mr. Williams?"

Eric listened to the sound she was about to scream, and quickly made a silent motion.

Victoria Adams realized her gaffe, and waved the perfume bottle in her hand in embarrassment, looking at Eric, who was wearing a pair of flat glasses with another layer of stubble on his chin, but didn't know what to say for a while.

More than half a month ago, I felt that Eric's attitude towards her was a little special when filming the MV of "Wannabe", Victoria was secretly excited for several days, no matter what, it is definitely a great thing to be paid special attention to a big man like Eric Williams.

It's just that, although I had a good dream for several nights in a row, but until the MV was filmed, Eric didn't say anything to her, although she always wanted to find an opportunity to take the initiative, but she never found the opportunity to contact Eric alone, and after the MV was filmed, all the actors involved in the filming naturally disbanded. Inevitably, she was lost for a few days, but life had to go on, and she had to continue to participate in various auditions while finding a job as a perfume promoter.

Eric also looked curiously at Victoria, who was wearing a promoter's uniform, noticed that she had dyed her hair black again, and nodded: "It's better to look at black hair, but aren't you an actor, why did you come here to be a promoter?"

Victoria Adams was a little confused, she graduated from an art school at the age of 20, and in recent years she has only appeared in a few stage plays sporadically, and has never been able to find any stable employment.

After a few flashes of eyes, Victoria Adams said, "I, this is just a temporary job, I've been to a few auditions recently, and I'm still waiting for news." ”

"Oh. ”

Eric nodded, and found that he had nothing to talk about with the girl in front of him, so he was about to walk away, but there was a commotion not far away, and he could hear shouts like 'Rose' and 'Rachel'.

Apparently, the three of them were still spotted and watched.

Eric looked at the three girls who were surrounded by the crowd, and did not rush forward, but took out his mobile phone and quickly dialed the number of the bodyguards waiting outside, and simply commanded a few words. Moments later, four sturdy bodyguards hurried in, separating the crowd around Rachel's three daughters and escorting them out of Harrods.

Eric had just instructed the bodyguards to send Rachel and the others away first, so that they didn't have to wait for him. Leaning against the counter in front of Victoria and waiting for a moment to make sure Rachel and the others were far away, Eric and Victoria Adams nodded and headed for the store door.

Victoria Adams stared at Eric's back as he walked out, and suddenly came to his senses. If she misses this opportunity, it is estimated that it will be difficult for her to come out again in her life.

Putting down the perfume bottle in her hand, Victoria Adams ran out of the counter and chased after her, shouting softly, "Mr. Williams." ”

Eric stopped and looked at Victoria, who was chasing after him, "Is there something wrong?"

"I, I," Victoria said after a moment's pause, plucking up courage, "May I treat you to a meal?"

"It's working time, are you going to skip work?" said Eric, jokingly, as he glanced around. Seeing that the girl in front of her was very disappointed with her fingers twisted, she thought about it and said, "Okay, but I'll please it." ”

Victoria Adamston, who thought she was going to be rejected, looked up and said, "Then you wait a minute, I'll go change my clothes." ”

Eric smiled and nodded, watching Victoria hurry away, sitting down on the couch next to her, picking up a random newspaper and flipping through it.

A few minutes later, Victoria, dressed in a black track jacket and blue jeans, walked over with a satchel on her shoulder.

Eric put down the newspaper and got up and walked out with her.

Victoria Adams followed Eric, glanced at his left hand, which was casually inserted in the pocket of his slacks, and tried to pull it away, but could not muster up the courage.

The Mercedes-Benz business car waiting outside had already left one, and when I saw Eric walking out of the department store with a strange girl, the bodyguard in the co-pilot hurriedly got out of the car and helped them pull the car door.

Victoria glanced at Eric with some restraint, and then got into the car first at his signal.

Eric also got into the car and asked Victoria, who was next to him, "So, where do you want to eat?"

Victoria Adams shook her head: "I don't care, anywhere. ”

"Then please have Chinese food, this is very close to the Royal Park Hotel, there is a very good Chinese restaurant. ”

After Eric finished speaking, he instructed the driver to drive, and suddenly remembered that he had to call to book a place first. The Royal Park Hotel is just outside Kensington Garden Street, and when he came to London in June for the premiere of Casino Royale, Eric visited the Minjiang restaurant in the Royal Park Hotel several times.

However, when he took out the phone, Eric had no choice but to find that he didn't know the ordering phone numbers of these restaurants at all. This kind of thing is usually done by assistants or women around me.

Inexplicably a little weak-hearted, he didn't call Caroline and the others to help him book a seat, Eric looked through the address book a few times, and recently contacted Simon Fuller very frequently, so he dialed it and asked him to help him book a seat.

Simon Fuller is definitely the most popular music manager in the UK in recent times. Victoria watched Eric naturally call as if he were instructing his subordinates to help them locate their sons, and her heart became a little more eager.

It took less than ten minutes to get from Harrods to the Royal Park Hotel, but when Eric walked into the hotel's Minjiang restaurant, a waiter greeted him warmly and led Eric to a window seat overlooking Hyde Park.

"The roast duck here is very good, but I don't know if it's to your liking, you can try the others," Eric ordered a random dinner, handed the menu to the waiter, and recommended it to Victoria.

Victoria looked up and smiled at Eric, and obediently ordered a roast duck.

Waiting for the waiter to leave, looking at Victoria, who was still very restrained, Eric took the initiative to open the topic and said, "So, talk about you, I don't know you very well." ”

Eric was a very talkative person, and under his guidance, Victoria Adams gradually let go and talked about his life.

"After graduating from Rennes School of the Arts, I actually wanted to be a singer, and I even applied for a band. It turned out that the guy named Steve, who started the band, turned out to be a stripper, and a group of people were rehearsing in a small studio north of Park Royal at the time, and after a few months, the band didn't get any better, and everyone broke up before they knew it. In the past two years, I have been participating in various auditions in fragments, including bands, commercials, movies, music MVs, etc. However, my agent's mind is not on me, so I don't have a good chance. Victoria babbled on and on, and although she could feel that Eric had been listening to her carefully, she was still a little worried, and asked, "Eric, do you find these things boring?"

"No," Eric shook his head and smiled, "I'm a director, so I like to listen to people talk about their lives, so I can use it in the script at any time." ”

"Oh," Victoria nodded reassuringly, "Actually, I can feel that you are preparing for your next movie by shooting the music video for "Wannabe", right?"

"yes, I'm going to be a photographer myself next time, so I'll practice with this music video. ”

"You're going to be a photographer yourself, and I think photographers must be very tired, like the ones you wore when you were shooting, so heavy...... Well, that kind of ......"

"Steadicam. ”

"Well, that's it," Victoria said with some embarrassment, "I don't think it's necessary, you can hire someone to do it." ”

"If you hire people to do everything, life will become more and more boring," Eric smiled and asked, "What about you, what are you going to do in the future?"

Victoria's eyes flashed with anticipation, and she wanted to say something, but she suddenly got a little stuck, maybe it was the aimless consumption of the past few years, she really didn't think about the future, and she mustered up the courage to stop Eric in the Harodo department store, it was just her instinctive desire to seize some opportunities.

After thinking for a while, Victoria said, "I, actually, I don't know what I plan to do in the future, but, Eric, what do you think I will be a singer too?"

Eric shook his head and smiled, "I'm afraid you won't be able to take this path." ”

In terms of musical talent, Victoria used to be one of the most popular in the Spice Girls. Having lost the opportunity to join the Spice Girls, she wants to become a singer again, which is basically impossible. Eric remembers that Victoria has been recognized in the fashion industry as a designer, but without the fame of the Spice Girls and Beckham, there is probably not much possibility for her to get a place in the fashion industry again.

Seeing Eric shaking his head, Victoria was a little disappointed, hesitated, and still asked, "Eric, what do you think I am suitable for?"

"Didn't you just say that you run an electrical appliance wholesale business at home, let me say it, you better settle down and help your father take care of the business, maybe you will become a strong woman in the business world in the future. ”

"Actually, I also know that when I was in art school, most of the girls there were better than me, but I was always unwilling to live in obscurity like my parents all my life, and I wanted to be famous," Victoria was obviously very disappointed with Eric's answer, sighed, and said, "Eric, may I ask you a question?"

"Of course. ”

"That time, it was the time when you were filming the MV of "Wannabe", why did you suddenly stop when you passed by me?"

Eric shook his head and smiled, "It's nothing, it just feels like you are the person I remember." ”

"Oh, then, she's got to be good, right?"

"yes, speaking of which, she should be considered a life winner. ”

"Winner in life, it's an interesting term. So do you think, well, can I be a winner in life?"

"It's not good, it depends on what you think is a winner in life. ”

"I just said ah, I want to be famous. At this point, Victoria put down the cutlery in her hand, looked over with a look of hope, and said with a little pleading, "Eric, can you help me?" )
