Chapter 1109: You Scoundrel
Early morning. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When he woke up, he found Mayer next to him holding a pillow and his chin on his arms and looking at him steadily, Eric smiled, reached out and took the girl's naked body and put it on top of him, put his arms around her waist, and asked, "What are you thinking?"
The body is closely attached to Eric, especially the desire of a man in the early morning, Mayer's face is slightly red, and he struggles slightly, seeing that he can't get out, he has to give up, and said softly: "Eric, I want to enter the Firefly Electronics job early next year." ”
Eric's hands that were rubbing against the woman stopped, and said, "It's a little early, and besides, I want you to go to Nokia?"
"I know," Mayer said, "but I went directly to Nokia to lead a mobile phone R&D department, I was worried that I would not be able to do well, so I wanted to enter Firefly Electronics in advance to accumulate some experience, and I found that most of the core technologies involved in your vision of smartphones are in Firefly Electronics." ”
"If that's what you're expecting, of course it's fine," Eric nodded slightly, "but I suddenly felt that you were trying to run away from me, so I'm upset." ”
"I just want to run away from you," Mayer said, holding himself slightly on Eric's chest, staring into his gaze, "If not, I'm afraid I'll be like them one day." You are a very good lover, and a very terrible lover, and you will make a woman unable to escape if she wants to. ”
"That's not the case," Eric said with a slight force, pressing the woman against him again, "You know, a lot of women have run away from me. ”
"That's because you don't care about them at all, even if you give them a lot of money, even if you behave very gentle and considerate, even if you make them big stars, but you really don't care about them, they don't run away from you at all, they are abandoned by you," Mayer finger lightly circled Eric's heart, and said, "You guy, sometimes it's really indifferent and scary." So, I plan to run away from you in advance so that I won't be as pitiful as those girls who were suddenly abandoned by you. ”
"Suddenly I feel like a villain, and it looks like I need to repent a bit. ”
"You're a villain. ”
"I'm just showing a little bit of humility, don't be so serious. ”
"You scoundrel. ”
"Oh, I understand, this should be a provocation," Eric said, wrapping his arms around Mayer's waist and rolling over to hold the girl under him, "Provocateur, accept the punishment." ”
Mayer chuckled, curled up his long legs around Eric's waist, felt the man's sudden stiffening movements, with a little smugness on his face, leaned over and kissed the man lightly on the lips, and said softly: "But, Eric, our plane at nine o'clock." ”
"Ten o'clock," Eric added again in a vicious tone, reaching out and pressing the girl's legs down, "no, I'm angry right now, so, eleven o'clock." ”
Eventually, after lunch in Palo Alto with his female assistant, Eric flew back to Los Angeles.
Knowing that Eric had decided to participate in tonight's Oscars, Nicole called early. She will also attend the awards ceremony tonight, with the same purpose as Eric, "The Mummy 3" will be released in June, and although this may be the last "Mummy" film that Nicole will participate in, the girl still does her due diligence to fulfill the relevant publicity obligations.
As for the other women, they may attend the "Vanity Fair" party after the Oscars, but they are not in the mood to attend the awards ceremony.
Julia has works last year and this year, and this year's "Never Compromise" is still an Olympic film, and it stands to reason that it should also be shown at the Oscars. But the woman didn't care more about these things than Eric did. In her memory, although Julia has long been qualified, she has never been too lazy to leave her star on the Walk of Fame.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Nicole and Eric rushed to the Dorothy Chandler Theater in downtown Los Angeles.
It was nearly half past five from Nicole's Beverly Hills residence to the city center, and the two of them were slowly walking towards the red carpet entrance outside the Dorothy Chandler Theater in a car mixed with a dozen or so extended courtesy cars.
A few minutes later, the courtesy car finally stopped at the red carpet entrance.
The door was opened by the driver, but Nicole grabbed Eric again and carefully checked him before letting the man get out of the car. Today was one of her rare public appearances with Eric, and the girl didn't want to make a mistake.
After Eric got out of the car, he went around to the other side, grabbed Nicole, who was dressed in a moon-white dress, very gentlemanly, and walked towards the red carpet together.
It's just that stepping on today's red carpet, Eric couldn't help frowning.
The Oscars red carpet has always been the most crowded red carpet in major film festivals or award ceremonies, but the scene on the red carpet today is even more chaotic than he imagined, not only the crowd is crowded together, but the guest seats on both sides also look chaotic.
ABC Television has always been a regular partner of the Oscars, and although the film school was the main organizer of the ceremony, Eric decided to ask Katzenberg to ask the ABC executives who coordinated the ceremony with the academy after the ceremony.
Nicole was smiling and holding Eric's arm, and was about to wave to the audience on either side.
It's just that when she noticed Eric's bodyguard Carter Morn following closely behind the two of them, there were several bodyguards on both sides of the red carpet whose eyes moved forward with the two of them simultaneously, and couldn't help but pull the man's arm: "Eric, do you have to follow Carter like this?"
"The security team's recent assessment is that I'm more likely to be attacked in public than John Lennon and John F. Kennedy combined, so you don't think everyone in this world is friendly to me, do you?"
While Eric hasn't been attacked since his rebirth with the exception of the last incident at Long Island Racecourse, he's never let his security down.
Eric is well aware of his situation, and the power and wealth he now possesses are enough to arouse the vigilance and covetousness of too many people. At the same time, because he had risen so fast, he had not had time to lay a solid foundation for himself that would sustain the wealth he currently had, and he did not even have an heir who could sustain his current empire of wealth, and if something happened to him personally, it would definitely be very bad.
Nicole couldn't figure out so many things for a while, but when she heard the names of John Lennon and John F. Kennedy, the girl subconsciously glanced around, looking a little nervous, but she quickly pinched Eric's arm lightly and teased: "I think you're worried that some girl will jump out of the crowd and bite you." ”
As soon as Nicole said this, Eric remembered the call from Paul Rowland yesterday, looked at Carter Moen behind him, wanted to say something, and realized that the occasion was not right now, so he had to put away his thoughts for the time being.
This time the red carpet was too chaotic, and they had to deal with the guests who came up to greet them from time to time, Eric and Nicole were a little impatient, regardless of the media reporters on both sides frantically retaining, they accelerated their pace and soon came to the end of the red carpet.
Seeing Eric and Nicole appear, Nicole's agent Pie Kinsley and an ABC director with headphones greeted her, and Nicole had already booked a red carpet interview in advance.
The front is the last interview point at the end of the red carpet, and it is the only more formal interview point that Eric has seen today. Conventionally, the Oscars red carpet should have three interview points, one at the entrance, one in the middle and one at the end, but Eric didn't notice where the first two interview points were, which is why he was very dissatisfied with the red carpet ceremony.
Although he doesn't pay much attention to these things, several common hosts who participated in the Oscars, such as Robin Roberts, a veteran of ABC Group, and others, Eric still remembers their names, but at this time on the interview stage was a tall blonde hostess, very young, with a beautiful sweetheart-like face, wearing a pink wide-shouldered low-cut dress, and her figure even exceeded that of most actresses on the red carpet.
However, Eric didn't have the slightest intention of appreciating the beauty at this time, and his expression was a little gloomy.
Pin Kinsley nodded at Eric and whispered a few more words to Nicole before stepping aside as the ABC director motioned to the two of them, "Mr. Williams, Miss Kidman, please come here, you can go up." ”
Eric put one hand around Nicole and let her get on the interview stage, turned to the director and said, "Who is the director of this awards ceremony, let him come and see me." ”
The director of the Oscars is usually the head of the ABC side.
With that, Eric stepped onto the interview desk.
The director had just noticed the big boss's cold face, and he was already cautious, but when he heard this, he hurriedly transmitted Eric's instructions back to the control room through the microphone.
"Mr. Williams, Miss Kidman, hello, I'm Laura Spencer," the camera was still elsewhere, and on the interview stage, the beautiful blonde hostess respectfully introduced herself.
Although it was her first time covering the Oscars red carpet, Laura Spencer was not stage frightened, and if it was other guests, she might take the initiative to make a few jokes. It's just that she also noticed that the big boss's interest was obviously not that high.
Nicole naturally felt the emotional changes of the man next to her more easily than outsiders, and skillfully greeted the female reporter in front of her, and the girl secretly reached over with one hand and pinched Eric's waist.
Eric tugged at the corners of his mouth, squeezing out a smile helplessly.
The director in the audience signaled that this side could start, and the three of them adjusted their positions and began to interview seriously.
According to the usual chat, a few words about Nicole's dress and makeup today, as well as the girl's upcoming summer film "The Mummy 3", Laura Spencer was obviously a little stunned by Eric, and only at the end did she politely say a few words to wish Eric good luck tonight, Eric only nodded and coped with it, the interview was all arranged in advance, he only temporarily decided to attend the awards ceremony yesterday, and he did not have any dissatisfaction with the hostess ignoring himself.
After getting off the stage, the director of the awards ceremony, Louis Horwitz, was already waiting next to him.
There were cameras everywhere, and Eric naturally couldn't be crazy on the spot, but he pointed to the red carpet scene outside, and said to Louis Horwitz in a cold tone: "Look, like a group of lost sardines, I hope the next awards ceremony will not be as messy as the red carpet, and," Eric gestured to the hostess on the stage again, "How old is she, is she 18 years old?"
After Eric said this, he didn't bother to see Louis Horwitz's reaction, and walked forward with Nicole. Now that he had spoken, Eric believed that at least Robert Egger would have to give him an explanation.
"I think this red carpet is not bad," Nicole took Eric's arm, hesitated, and whispered, but this sentence was obviously a little lacking.
Knowing that Nicole was trying to persuade himself, Eric shook his head with a smile and said, "Well, it seems that I was too harsh." ”
"No, you're the boss, everything is right," Nicole immediately changed her attitude again, looking very unstance.
"You're not going to be Julia in a Nicole mask, are you?"
Nicole smiled and asked, "Do you want each of us to be like Julia?"
"I don't want to. ”
A few more photos were taken at the media wall, and Eric and Nicole entered the hall together.
The lobby outside the Dorothy Chandler Theatre was also packed, and there was still a moment before the awards ceremony began, and no one was seated early.
"Hey, Eric, good afternoon. ”
As soon as Eric appeared, Harvey came over with the crew of "Horse Whisperer", and Robert Redford's expression when he saw Eric was even more exciting: "Eric, it's incredible, $60,000, and now it's $80 million at the box office, how did you do it?"
"It must be a secret," Eric naturally knew that Robert Redford was referring to "Blair the Witch," which was still in theaters, "but I'm sure that Park City will be packed at next year's Sundance Film Festival." ”
When Robert Redford heard this, he smiled and said, "I think so too, but I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing for Sundance." ”
The Sundance Film Festival has always advertised to support newcomers and solo films, and the emergence of "Blair the Witch" as a box office dark horse will definitely attract more mainstream Hollywood studios to Park City to pan for gold, and it is not difficult to imagine that this film festival will definitely become more and more commercial in the future.
After a while of greeting the guests in the hall, Eric finally took a free time, and while Nicole was chatting with Meryl Streep, he called out to Carter Moen and whispered, "Call Paul Rowland, ask where Carmen Cays is now, don't let her go to the Vanity Fair party, well, send someone to take her to Sharp Corner Manor." ”
Although there was only Nicole at the awards ceremony, the girls were likely to come to join in the excitement of the "Vanity Fair" party, and although the attitude of the women about Eric's bite was basically schadenfreude, it was hard to imagine what would happen to Carmen Kath at the "Vanity Fair" party.
