Chapter 314: Self-defeating
Francis. Coppola retracted his gaze and took the initiative to introduce: "Eric, there is a garden, if you are interested, you can go and see it later, there are ornamental plants transplanted from the jungles of South America." ”
"No, it's not, I'd like to see an acquaintance, but maybe I'm mistaken," Eric recalls the figure that flashed by just now, as if he was still holding a bald middle-aged man, then, eighty percent of the mistake, she was such a proud little girl......
Shaking his head, Eric didn't say anything more, made a fine face to the crowd, and continued to walk towards the villa.
……
Originally had been talking to Jennifer. Connally offers the attentive Tony. Brandt heard the faint applause coming from the gate of the manor, inquired about the people around him, and soon returned to Jennifer. Connors' side: "It's Eric. Williams is here, the young overly little director, I really didn't expect it. ”
The man seemed to be sighing for something, not realizing that the girl next to him heard the name Eric, and the goblet in his hand almost fell to the ground, and his mind became flustered.
"Miss Connelly, you know Eric. Williams, that's a very amazing young man, in less than two years, he has made a huge name in Hollywood, and being kissed by a lucky woman no longer shows his good luck, it's like an illegitimate child of Lady Luck," said Tony. Brandt seemed to think that his words were funny, and laughed to himself.
Jennifer. Connelly couldn't laugh at all, holding the goblet in his hand, lowering his eyes slightly, a string of numbers flashed clearly in his mind, it was the phone number that Eric had left for her, but. She only dialed once, and the time was nine months ago, when "Dark War" was released. She regretted it.
But that time, the phone happened to go unanswered. She didn't leave a message either.
Later, as Eric's fame in Hollywood grew, the pride and inferiority in her heart made her never muster up the courage to make that call again, and she felt that as long as it was like this, it could only be like this, as if she could hold on to something.
The turmoil at the beginning of the year started an affair with Eric and the women, and she was also involved at first.
But. Later, the media's attention was focused on several Hollywood actresses who had become famous with Eric, and she was also the same as those actresses who had only had brief contact with Eric, in the big scandal reports, she was just treated as a name, mixed in a long list of names, which seemed so inconspicuous.
It is estimated that it is precisely because of this that the middle-aged man next to him will ask himself if he knows Eric. Williams.
Oh, that's ridiculous. Now there is that person in Hollywood who will not know that ...... Guys.
Soon, Jennifer. Connelly saw it with Francis. Coppola came alongside Eric, and he was still the same as he was a year ago. However, it seems that there is another woman next to him.
Although the woman was not as beautiful as herself, she was tall and looked like she was four inches taller. However, Jennifer. Connelly forced a faint and fragile sense of superiority in his heart, at least, he held on, but they fell, right. That's it.
Her somewhat flustered head was thinking wildly, and Tony beside her. Brandt wondered if he should come forward and make a familiar face. But look at the situation on the other side, because Francis. Coppola is by Eric's side. None of the people around came up, it was Francis. Coppola took Eric's initiative to introduce him, and apparently, he hadn't reached the point where he was able to get Francis. To the point where Coppola took the initiative to refer.
Perhaps, standing closer, Coppola will casually mention himself.
Seeing that Eric occasionally pulls out his business card and hands it to others, Tony. Brandt couldn't help but think that if he could get Eric. Williams' contact details may come in handy at any point in the future.
After the idea came to mind, Tony. Brandt was a little eager to try, but it was difficult to muster up the courage for a while.
Jennifer. Connery noticed the eagerness in the middle-aged man's eyes, realized something, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Brandt, I remember that there are benches in the garden, let's go and sit there." ”
"Ah, this...... Okay," I was a little unsure in my heart, and Connelly said this, Tony. Lambert suddenly built a ladder for himself in his mind and climbed down.
The girl is afraid of Tony. Brandt repented, took the man's arm, and pulled the other side slightly towards the garden, where several benches were occupied by guests, and the two of them searched for it before they sat down near the table where the drinks were placed.
Tony. Brandt graciously took two bottles of wine, handed one to Connery, and quickly found a topic to talk about. The girl seemed a little absent-minded, and kept sipping the red wine one by one, and in just a few minutes, the red wine in the glass was at the bottom.
They had been here for a long time, but the girl had always maintained a restrained attitude, and had only drunk two glasses of red wine for an hour. So note that this situation is Tony. Without a trace, Lambert casually took another glass of red wine from the nearby wine station and handed it to the girl.
Jennifer. Connery was immersed in some emotion at this time, and did not think much about it, but thanked him and took it again.
A few minutes later, another glass of red wine was unconsciously bottomed out.
Tony. After seeing that the girl took the red wine he handed over again, Brandt's face finally showed an excited look, and his heartbeat accelerated a lot, and he secretly glanced at the deep furrow in the middle of the girl's bandeau dress. Brandt had already begun to figure out how to play with the huge softness of the dress tonight.
After a few glasses of red wine, Jennifer. Connelly seemed to be aware of something, but the whole person was already slightly drunk, and drunken people are always very vulnerable to defense. So, gradually, the girl even began to give up on herself a little, although the pace of drinking was much slower, but every time Tony. Brandt handed over the new wine, and she didn't refuse.
……
"Eric, this is my daughter, Sophia. Sophia, the youngest and most outstanding director in Hollywood, Eric. Williams, "Inside the villa, after a turn, Francis. Coppola introduces another young girl to Eric.
"Hello, Miss Coppola," the expression on Eric's face did not change in the slightest, and he greeted the girl who looked at him curiously.
"Hello, Eric, will you call me Sophia?" Sofia. Coppola seems to be a little more enthusiastic than Eric: "I love your films, it's hard to imagine that you are so young. ”
Eric's expression moved, remembering the girl's miserable performance in "The Godfather 3", and said pointedly: "Perhaps, you can also make a good movie, why not try it, I believe your father will definitely support you." ”
The girl's expression moved, and she glanced at her father before she said, "I can't, I'm not a genius like you, I'm still so young." Moreover, my father has decided to let me play the godfather's daughter in "The Godfather 3", and I think it is better for me to try to develop as an actor like my cousin. ”
"Of course, when you're young, you should try everything to find the path that works best for you," Eric continued.
"Wow, you don't sound like you're an old man," the girl couldn't help but say.
"Sophia, don't be so rude, I think Eric is right," Francis said. Coppola glared at her daughter dotingly.
The girl stuck out her tongue, still unconvinced, and said, "I'm right, otherwise how would an old man like you approve of his words, hehe." ”
Francis. Coppola looked at Eric helplessly.
The girl laughed mischievously, and suddenly said to the tall girl standing next to Eric, "This ......"
"My name is Famick. Jensen, "Famick. Jensen introduced himself.
"So, Miss Jensen, can you give me Eric for a moment and let us dance?"
The tall girl shrugged and looked at Eric, "Of course." ”
"Hey, I guess I haven't agreed yet," Eric said with a smile as he let the girl pull him onto the dance floor.
"Would you refuse?" Sofia. Coppola asked, her figure was a little petite, even in her high heels, she was still ten centimeters lower than Eric.
"Well, of course not," Eric shrugged, gently exposing the girl's waist.
The girl who danced gently to the music suddenly said after a while, "Hey, you seem to be a little absent-minded? ”
"Is it obvious?"
"How can I see if it's not obvious?" The girl pouted and said depressedly.
Honestly, Sophia. Coppola's lips are a little thick, and when he speaks, the upper lip on one side still likes to be upturned, which makes it look even more awkward, although in the eyes of Westerners, thicker lips are more sexy, but Eric still thinks thin lips look better.
"Well, I apologize," Eric said, thinking to himself.
Sofia. Coppola tilted his head and thought for a moment, and asked, "By the way, what you just said seems to mean something, but can you tell me what I mean?" ”
"You want to hear the truth?" Eric asked, staring at the girl.
"Uh-huh."
Eric thought about it, it would be nice if he could get the girl to dispel the idea of the classic series of "The Godfather". "The Godfather 3" in memory, Sophia. Coppola's performance was indeed miserable, with Al. Pacino, an Oscar-level veteran actor, will make people have a strong sense of drama, and the two Golden Sour Plum Awards are not wronged at all.
Because the two sides didn't have any friendship, Eric didn't just face Francis. Coppola's face to face is a taboo in interpersonal communication.
But now, in the face of a girl alone, as long as you are tactful, it won't have much impact if you say it, and you can even laugh it off as a joke afterwards. (To be continued)
