After the shot of Al Pacino pretending to be jerky driving a Lamborghini ghost away from the pie, the day's shooting plan was complete. The crew's working hours were also close to eight hours.

As long as he can keep up with this progress, Eric believes that he can completely finish the film production within four weeks. Therefore, although he himself still has plenty of energy, he did not ask the crew to work overtime.

In Europe and the United States, overtime is a very serious problem. If you ask Europeans to work overtime, it's basically impossible, and even some countries have imposed high overtime taxes in order to restrict companies from letting employees work overtime. When you ask Americans to work overtime, you have to not only provide satisfactory allowances and time off plans, but also deal with possible cross-examination and investigation by the union.

The set of the villa was originally a pie duì, and according to Eric's original idea, after the filming was completed, the real start-up banquet began here.

Amid the melodious and soothing music, rejecting the bold accosting of several beauties, Eric sat on the sofa in the corner, chatting with Jeffrey about the next shooting plan, occasionally glancing at the dance floor out of the corner of his eye, and pausing slightly on Julia and Al Pacino, who were hugging each other.

Julia had quit her job as a waitress at Jeff's restaurant and received a portion of her advance, and had now rented an apartment in Beverly Hills and moved in, as Eric had instructed.

Although there was no role for her today, Julia still took the initiative to appear in the crew, helping to do what she could from time to time, and would also have a few lines with Al Pacino in her spare time.

Eric was quite satisfied with Julia's attitude, and apart from a female assistant assigned to Julia by the agency, Julia did not receive any preferential treatment on the set.

In fact, even Al Pacino did not have any special treatment, he still drove his own car when he joined the group, and after finishing his work, he also went back to his home to rest. In order to save on the budget, the crew only rented a trailer for the actors to apply makeup and change clothes. Of course, this only happens once. Eric believes that the two of them will definitely not be treated so 'simply' when their next film is made.

Jeffrey, who was chatting with Eric, quickly followed Eric's line of sight and found the focus of his gaze.

"What's the matter, Eric, you're not jealous, are you?" Jeffrey leaned over slightly, his tone teasing, he knew exactly what was going on between Eric and Julia.

Eric shook his head quietly, but after all, he had a skin-to-skin relationship with Julia, and it was impossible to see Julia and Al on the dance floor looking like you and me, and it was impossible to have a little snack in his heart at all.

However, Eric has no intention of keeping Julia for himself, and big-mouthed beauties are not his cup of tea. As a senior member of the Appearance Association, Julia has not yet reached the standard of beauty in his heart.

"I'm just watching how Julia and Al get along. Eric made an excuse at random: "Now it seems that after a week of running-in, they have entered the play." You see, do the two of you have a sense of harmony?"

Jeffrey heard Eric and followed suit, and on the dance floor, Julia and Al Pacino whispered a few words from time to time, looking at each other, looking a little affectionate.

"That's true, Eric, do you think Julia will fall in love with Al after making this movie?"

"It's very likely," replied Eric, remembering Julia's amorous and sensitive personality, "but Al will certainly not accept Julia, his girlfriend is pregnant." ”

Al Pacino was also a playboy, and quite skillful, having skillfully moved among many women in his previous life, and several of them gave birth to him.

If it had been before, Al might have started a romance with Julia. But that is unlikely to happen now, Al Pacino is at a critical juncture in his comeback, and his girlfriend's pregnancy is not a secret. If there is a romance with Julia at this time, abandoning his pregnant girlfriend will be quite a blow to his image.

It's just that if Eric is watching casually alone, Julia may not feel it. Now Eric and Jeffrey looked at it together, and their mouths were still criticizing. Julia couldn't find out anymore and was pretending, and Al Pacino noticed Eric and Jeffrey's gaze, and smiled gracefully at them.

Julia, who was held in Al's arms, was a little inexplicably apprehensive, and once her mood was destroyed, it would be difficult to continue. After whispering a few words to Al, Julia stepped off the dance floor and walked over to Eric.

Al Pacino, who was on the dance floor, shrugged his shoulders and soon found a beautiful female companion.

"Julia, why don't you jump?" asked Eric curiously, seeing Julia sitting down beside him.

"It's just that I'm a little tired. Julia took a glass of champagne and sat down on the couch, leaning in casually towards Eric and asking, "What were you guys talking about?"

Jeffrey smiled and replied first, "I just made a bet with Eric that after this movie is finished, will you fall in love with Al." ”

"Ah, you ...... How can this be?" Julia said with anger in her tone, but the disappointment in her eyes flickered.

Eric quickly interrupted Jeffrey's nonsense and said, "Julia, don't listen to Jeffrey's nonsense, we're not that boring. Just seeing the scene when you and Al are dancing, we feel that the next shooting will go smoothly, and you two are obviously already in the play. ”

Julia sighed, took a sip of champagne, and asked, "Eric, ...... you Are you going to dance?"

Eric lifted his sleeve and looked at his watch, refusing, "No, I'm leaving soon." ”

"Why don't you play a little longer? It's definitely impossible to be so relaxed for a while. Jeffrey said.

Eric stood up and said with a smile: "Today, the first day of the TV series that Jenny participated in started, and she specially called me from New York to let me not forget to watch it, the time is almost up." ”

When Geoffrey heard Eric say this reason, he couldn't help but tease a few words, but he got up. Some of the other sharp-eyed people noticed that Eric might be leaving, and they came over.

At the door of the villa, Eric said to Jeffrey and the others who were sending him: "Go back, Jeffrey, don't let them play too late, be careful to delay tomorrow's shooting." ”

"Don't worry, I'll watch. ”

Eric waved his hand and walked towards the parking lot, and Julia in the crowd hesitated before following.

"Julia, is there something wrong?" Eric had just opened the car door when he saw Julia approaching.

"Eric, I haven't had time to buy a car yet, can you give me a ride?"

Eric smiled, "Of course. ”

The car drove smoothly down the road, and Eric casually found a topic: "Julia, how do you feel about Al?"

Julia bowed her head slightly, glanced at Eric, and pondered the wording: "Mr. Al Pacino is very personable, and very talkative, and will involuntarily make people feel good. I don't have much of a male or female sense of him, though, and Mr. Pacino is more than twenty years older than me. ”

Eric laughed, "Al must be very sad to hear your evaluation." You don't like older men, but Arco likes young and beautiful girls. ”

"Do you think I'm pretty?"

Eric nodded without hesitation: "In the Western concept, you are a standard beauty. ”

Although Julia felt that Eric's words were strange, her face was still a little happy.

After a brief pause, Julia plucked up the courage to ask, "Eric, is your current girlfriend that Jennifer Aniston?"

"yes, we met during the shoot," Eric said, remembering one thing and smiling, "Jenny knows you, too." ”

"No way, I've only seen her in the newspaper, or that ......" Julia was a little embarrassed at the mention of the absurdity of that night.

Eric didn't take it too seriously: "She also met you that time, ...... to talk about it" Aniston's little temper was in his mind, and Eric showed a smile: "That shirt Jenny also wore, by the way, do you still keep it, can you give it back to me later?"

"No problem. Julia nodded subconsciously.

The car stopped in front of Julia's newly rented apartment, and the girl got out of the car, looked at the empty streets on both sides, and asked expectantly, "Eric, do you want to come in for a cup of coffee, there are no paparazzi around this time." ”

Eric poked out the window and refused, "Forget it, I have to go back quickly, just wait here." ”

"Alright then," Julia took out the key to open the door, and looked back, but Eric still had no intention of getting out of the car, so he had to enter the house alone.

Coming to the bedroom, Julia opened the closet, took out the clean white shirt that had been washed, subconsciously put it in front of her and sniffed it, then folded it silently and hugged it in her arms, and walked to the bedroom door. Remembering what Eric had just said, the girl's footsteps became more and more hesitant, and she could no longer suppress the little jealousy in her heart, so she reflexively put the shirt back in the closet, and found two pieces of her own clothes to cover it. He took a few deep breaths and walked out of the room.

"Eric, I'm sorry, I forgot where I put that shirt, can I give it back to you when I find it?"

Eric stared at the girl for two seconds and sighed, "Okay, I really can't find it." ”

Just as he was about to roll up the window and leave, Eric thought about it and poked his head out and said, "Julia, I can guarantee that after the release, you will become a Hollywood superstar in the limelight." When the time comes, countless men will treat you as the love of their dreams, and there will be countless excellent men pursuing you, so ......" Eric hesitated, but still didn't say it too bluntly: "Act well, don't let me down." ”

Julia bit her lip, blinked her eyes quickly, and said with a forced smile: "Don't worry, Director Williams, I will do my best." ”

"Then ...... See you tomorrow. ”

"See you tomorrow," the girl beckoned, watching Eric start the car and disappear all the way to the end of the street.

Looking at Julia's standing figure in the rearview mirror, Eric sighed lightly, his index finger tapped lightly on the steering wheel, and a few Chinese words that had forgotten the tune came out of his mouth: "Wandering the world, it is difficult to hide the elegance, not for infatuation, only love flowers, flowers are too fragrant, flowers are windy丨Flowers are dead and impermanent, walk openly, without a little ......"

Humming to the last word, Eric shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly, "How is that possible?"
