Chapter 972 - To New York

Eric thought for a moment and said, "In that case, let's be a model, go to New York, and I'll let Cindy take you personally." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Miranda Kerr was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook her head: "Eric, I'm not going to New York, I, I haven't graduated from high school yet." ”

"Giselle and Al have been working on their own since they were fourteen, and you're two years older than them. ”

Miranda Kerr finally realized that Eric was trying to break himself up, and she was not stupid, so she easily figured out the reason. Glancing at Scarlett Johansson beside her with some resentment, she got up and walked around the desk and tried to pounce on Eric, but was blocked by Eric.

Eric blocked the girl who was about to fall into his arms, hugged her small waist with both hands and lifted it gently, put the girl on the wide desk in front of him, and said resolutely: "Or, you can go back to Australia to continue high school, I will send you back, your parents must want you to go back to Australia." ”

Miranda Kerr had just kicked off her shoes and wanted to tease Eric with her two little feet so that he could spare his little mistake today. Hearing Eric say this, her heart suddenly became nervous. If she really returns to Australia, who knows if Eric will care about her in the future, and even, she may not have the opportunity to live like she is now.

After looking at Eric pitifully for a while, and seeing that he didn't mean to let go of his mouth at all, Miranda finally said, "Then, then I'll go to New York." But, Eric, what about my mom and dad?"

Eric pressed the girl's little feet, which were still a little unwilling to scratch his legs, and said, "It's up to you to convince them, if your parents don't agree, I'll have to send you back to Australia." ”

Miranda's parents are soft people, and Eric doesn't believe that this will be a hindrance to what the girl is going to do.

Miranda Kerr saw that she took out her parents as a shield to no avail, so she jumped off the desk and pounced on him again while Eric was not paying attention, pleading like a kitten: "Eric, you forgive me this time, I promise to be obedient in the future, and never bring strangers to you casually again." ”

"Don't make a fuss, I'll let May arrange it for you later, na, you can live with Giselle and the two of them in New York, haven't you always liked that house?"

"Eric ......"

"I suddenly remembered, you have always used that Citi black card, right, in the future, you will work and make money by yourself, maybe you don't need it. ”

When Miranda Kerr heard this, she immediately stopped pestering people, and hurriedly said, "No, Eric, I'll listen to you and go to New York." ”

Eric patted the girl's waist and smiled, "This is my little baby, nay, put on your shoes, you can go back first." ”

Miranda Kerr scrambled to put her shoes on, leaned over and pecked Eric on the lips before heading out the door without even looking at Scarlett. Although most of the things that came to Eric to ask for the role today were Miranda herself wanting to show off her intimacy with Eric, at this time, she naturally blamed Scarlett for all the fault.

Eric watched Miranda leave the office, picked up the landline microphone and explained what had just happened to Melanie, and then looked at Scarlett Johansson, who was sitting across from her desk a little bewildered.

The girl in front of her is almost fourteen years old, but compared with Miranda, who is already like a leprechaun at the age of fourteen, the current Scarlett Johansson has no trace of later charm, but at the same time, she is out of the category of Lolita, a little too big to be a child star, and too young to be an adult actor, which is a little embarrassing.

Noticing that Eric glanced at himself and took care of the computer on his desktop, Scarlett Johansson didn't know if he should take the initiative to leave.

After a moment's hesitation, she didn't move, patiently waiting for Eric's reaction. After all, judging from what happened just now, the friendship between her and Miranda Kerr is a complete breakdown. If I leave now, I am afraid that I will never see this Hollywood supertycoon again.

A series of unattainable auras floated out of her mind to the twenty-eight-year-old man opposite, and Scarlett couldn't help but secretly glance at Eric with a focused expression on the other side.

It would be nice if I had such a boyfriend.

It seems that when Drew was with him, he was younger than himself, and he seemed to like little girls.

"I've seen it for you," After a while, turning off a copy of the "Horse Whisperer" audition cast information sent by Fox, Eric raised his head and just spoke, he noticed the scene of Scarlett's expression shyly avoiding his eyes, smiled, and continued: "The age setting of the character Grace in "The Horse Whisperer" is thirteen years old, although Kirsten's acting skills are good, she is too tall now, close to 170cm, and it is unlikely that she will play a thirteen-year-old girl again. Originally, Harvey very much wanted Natalie Portman to play this role, although she is a year older than Kirsten, she is a petite type, and there is no problem playing a thirteen-year-old girl. However, she has "Star Wars Prequel" to be released at the end of the year, so among the remaining young actors, your acting experience and audition effect are the best, and it is very likely to get this role. ”

Speaking of which, if Eric wants Scarlett to get the role, all he needs to do is say hi to Harvey.

However, he didn't do it, not because he didn't want to owe Harvey favors or anything, but because everyone owes each other, the relationship is more intimate. The main thing is that Eric doesn't want to mess with the project too much. An art film with a production cost of $50 million is too likely to lose money in the future. Miramax has just been shackled by the parent company, restricting the production of films with a budget of more than $50 million, and Eric is casually interfering at this time, once the project fails, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not end up complaining, people always have a habit of angering others.

Scarlett Johansson nodded obediently, Eric was far beyond her expectation that he could talk to her, and she didn't dare to ask for anything more.

After thinking about it, the girl cleverly found a very interesting topic and said, "Mr. Williams, I heard that you picked up Natalie Portman from the side of the road?"

Eric nodded and joked, "Almost, I'm usually used to picking up girls from the side of the road to take home, and it's the first time I've encountered someone like you who took the initiative to send them to the door." ”

Scarlett Johansson suddenly lowered her head in embarrassment and said, "That, Miranda said you, you will be happy to help, so we came together, Mr. Williams, don't be angry with Miranda, okay?"

"Okay," Eric agreed with a smile, reaching out to turn off the computer, getting up and saying, "Let's go, I'm going back to work, you just go home and wait for the good news." ”

"Well, thank you, Mr. Williams," Scarlett Johansson stood up and followed Eric out of the office.

Walking out of the office building, Scarlett Johansson obediently followed Eric's side, watching the occasional passing studio employees greet Eric respectfully, she inevitably felt a little more envious and yearning in her heart.

All the way out of the administrative area, Eric stopped at the intersection of the studio area and said to the girl next to him, "So, let's go here, do you need me to send you home?"

"No, no," Scarlett Johansson shook her head, her toes on the ground, hesitated, and then raised her face to look at Eric, "Mr. Williams, can I see you again?"

"Of course, as long as you're in Hollywood, there's definitely a chance. ”

"I mean," Scarlett's eyes flashed, and she added, "Mr. Williams, I, I can leave you a number, and you can call me at any time." ”

Eric was a little surprised, looked at the girl in front of him a few times, smiled and took out his mobile phone from his pocket: "Now, enter the number yourself." ”

Scarlett didn't expect Eric to agree, and excitedly added her home phone number to the address book of Eric's mobile phone, and said: "Mr. Williams, if you don't film, I'm basically at home at night, you can call me at that time and say it's okay to find me." ”

"Alright," Eric nodded, took the phone from the girl's hand and put it in his pocket, "Goodbye, then." ”

"Goodbye," Scarlett replied, but she stepped forward slightly, and when Eric didn't move, she waved her hand in disappointment and turned towards the exit of the studio.

As the Firefly Group grew stronger in Hollywood, the Preavista district gradually became more prosperous. Scarlett easily hailed a taxi outside the studio gate, told the driver to go to Beverly Hills, leaned back in her chair and remembered what had just happened, occasionally smirking slightly.

Scarlett Johansson's home is in a residential neighborhood near the Los Angeles Country Club at the foot of Beverly Hills, and although it is a wealthy area, it is nowhere near as good as the real dignitaries who live halfway up the mountain. Scarlett's father, Castan Johnson, was a well-paid architect who was the main breadwinner of the family. Although her mother, Melanie Sloan, holds the title of producer, according to the old saying, in Los Angeles, a billboard can hit several producers, and Melanie Sloan rarely gets any work, and most of the time is just a full-time housewife.

As soon as Scarlett entered, Melanie Sloan greeted her and asked expectantly, "Baby, have you seen Eric Williams?"

Nodding excitedly, Scarlett picked up an apple from the coffee table in the living room, took a bite, sat comfortably on the sofa with a pillow, and said, "See, Mom, Mr. Williams said that I have a good chance of getting this role." ”

Melanie Sloan looked excited when she saw her daughter, and thought that this had been a success. Hearing her say this, she couldn't help frowning, this sentence relayed by Scarlett sounded like a formulaic perfunctory.

Scarlett noticed the expression on her mother's face, how could she not understand her thoughts. As a young girl who has begun to pay attention to personal privacy, she does not plan to tell her mother the details of everything today, but she still affirms again: "Don't worry, Mom, anyway, unless something changes, I have basically got this job." ”

"Silly daughter," Melanie Sloan smiled helplessly, sat down beside her daughter, and said, "Tell Mom the details of how you met Williams, and I'll help you analyze it." ”

"Oh, I'm not going to tell you," Scarlett saw her mother ask, took off her pillow and got up, and ran upstairs to her bedroom.

Walking into her bedroom, Scarlett locked the door and threw herself on her cot, tossing for a while, then looking up from the pillow and looking at the small phone on the desk next to her.

I don't know when he'll call. I don't know what will happen then.

After thinking for a while, the girl suddenly jumped up again, walked into the bathroom, posed for a while by the vanity mirror, and finally took off her clothes and carefully looked at the small body in the mirror.

Well, although her figure is far from being as good as Miranda, and she is not as tall as her. However, holding her bra, Scarlett is a little proud, she must be much more than that little flat-chested here.

After spending hours in her bedroom, remembering that it was the Oscars, Scarlett hurried downstairs and turned on the TV.

The Oscar red carpet ceremony has begun, but Scarlett doesn't have much heart to envy the gorgeously dressed actresses on the red carpet today, but waits for a certain figure to appear. Without waiting for Eric, as his father got off work, his sister Vanessa and twin brother Hunter gradually came home, and the house suddenly became lively.

Although Kastan Johnson did not choose to enter Hollywood, the family is basically inextricably linked to Hollywood because of Scarlett's grandfather and her mother's relatives and friends. Scarlett was originally born in New York, but for the development of several children in Hollywood, the Johnsons moved to Los Angeles a few years ago. Now, in addition to Scarlett, her brother and sister are all actors in Hollywood.

Therefore, looking at the Oscar red carpet ceremony that was going on on the TV screen, the family's topic was naturally inseparable from the movie, and it was natural to start asking Scarlett about the results of today's audition for "The Horse Whisperer".

They all know that whether or not they can get this role means that Scarlett can really gain a foothold in Hollywood without relying on family connections. Although their family can have resources to enter Hollywood that are much superior to ordinary people, but at the level of "The Horse Whisperer", their connections basically do not play any role, and in the end they have to rely on strength and luck.

Melanie Sloan didn't tell her husband and the other children about letting her daughter go to Firefly Studios, but when Eric appeared on camera at the end of the red carpet ceremony, everyone's conversation turned to Eric, listening to the father and siblings all kinds of longing and envy, Scarlett, who hid a little secret in her heart, was like a little fox who secretly hid a prey, but her eyes couldn't help but look more intently at the TV screen, looking forward to every appearance of Eric.
