Chapter 532: Farewell
Eric sat on the couch in the living room, first hearing a soft cry from the bedroom, followed by a rustling sound and whispers.
After more than ten minutes, the two girls walked out of the bedroom dressed and greeted Eric with some reserve.
Rachel was half a head taller than Caroline, so Eric could easily tell that they were wearing their own clothes, and when he saw the two women sitting down on the couch opposite, he asked with some confusion, "You two live in a bedroom?"
"Yes, Mr. Williams," Caroline nodded unwittingly, perhaps because of the fact that she had just risen, and the girl's slightly flushed face was a little more coquettish.
Rachel was much more astute than Caroline, and immediately added, "Caroline is only staying with me temporarily, we don't, that ...... Live together. ”
Caroline felt that Rachel's words were a little inexplicable, her long eyelashes flickered a few times, and then she understood, her fair face immediately turned red, and she stood up in a panic and was about to run away: "Mr. Williams, I'll pour you a glass of water." ”
Eric was about to say no, but the girl's figure had already drifted into the kitchen.
Only Eric and Rachel were left in the living room.
Eric looked at the delicate little apartment with interest, and then his eyes fell on Rachel Weisz, who looked a little reserved. Whether it is the memories of his past life or Caroline's words yesterday, Eric knows that Rachel Weisz is definitely not an introverted girl, but because of his current status, most people will no longer be able to show their true temperament in front of him without reservation as long as their emotional intelligence is normal. In some ways. It's also a pity.
"Caroline says you're an actor?"
Rachel's gaze had been with Eric. Secretly looking at what was inappropriate in his apartment, he suddenly heard Eric speak, and quickly nodded: "Yes, Ai...... Mr. Williams, I've been auditioning for most of the time lately and have already landed a small role in the sixth season of Inspector Moss. ”
Eric was about to speak when Caroline walked out of the kitchen with a steaming cup of boiling water.
Eric took the glass and saw a cube of ice at the bottom of the glass that hadn't completely melted. So I politely took a few sips before putting the quilt on the coffee table in front of me.
Watching Eric put down the glass, Caroline asked, "Mr. Williams, is there something wrong with you coming here so early?"
Although the girl is a little innocent, she is by no means stupid, and Eric must have something else to do when she came to find her so early.
"I'm going back to Los Angeles, so I'll just have some time to say goodbye to you. ”
Caroline heard Eric's words. There was a gloom on his face that was difficult to hide, but he still replied politely, "So." Have a nice trip, Mr. Williams. ”
Eric was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Thank you." ”
And Rachel, who was sitting next to Caroline, finally resisted the urge to cover his forehead, this little fool, what kind of nonsense are they talking about. Seeing that Caroline didn't know what to say next, Rachel had no choice but to ask, "Mr. Williams, will you come to London again?"
"I probably won't be coming back anytime soon, the German premiere of Jurassic Park was scheduled for July 4th, and I could stay until that date, but something happened in Los Angeles and I had to rush back to deal with it myself, and if I came back to Europe, I might just stay in Paris or Berlin. ”
After Rachel saw Eric say this, Caroline's loss could even overflow, and she glanced at her friend with some pity, and suddenly plucked up her courage and said: "Mr. Williams, Caroline won't report to Cambridge until September, if you go to Paris or London, Caroline can still be your tour guide, she speaks French, German and Spanish without a problem." ”
Seeing that the girl who was originally depressed suddenly raised her head and looked over expectantly, Eric couldn't bear to refuse, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll have someone call you then, Caroline, are you willing?"
"Well, I ...... No problem. Caroline's chick nodded her head a few times as if she were pecking rice, and then realized that she was too unreserved, and hung her head down with a red face.
Caroline's salary was handled by someone from the Firefly branch, and after Eric finished doing this, he stood up: "In this case, I will take my leave, the plane will take off at eight o'clock, and I will go back to pack my luggage." ”
The two girls stood up with Eric, Eric finished speaking, looked at Rachel Weisz, took out a personal business card of his own from his pocket and handed it over, in Rachel's somewhat surprised gaze, explained: "There is a disaster love movie in the Firefly Project, and it needs a British heroine with a rebellious and elegant temperament, I think you can try it......"
Subconsciously took the business card, and when she heard Eric's first few words, Rachel had a feeling that happiness had come too suddenly, so that her head was buzzing, and she didn't listen to a word of what Eric said later.
Although he was born in a wealthy family, he could study literature at Cambridge University at the same leisurely pace as those of the children of the aristocracy, and being an actor was just a hobby and a means of making a living, but this did not mean that Rachel would be indifferent to an invitation from the wider stage of Hollywood. It's just that because of her pride and reserve, Rachel doesn't go to Hollywood as unscrupulously as many people, otherwise when she learned that Caroline got the job of Eric's personal tour guide, she would have tried her best to stick it up.
After Erik finished speaking, he said hello to the stunned Rachel and left.
Caroline wanted to send Eric downstairs all the time, but Eric thought of the paparazzi downstairs and refused.
The girl watched Eric's figure disappear at the top of the stairs, then turned back and closed the door, took a few deep breaths to calm her mind, and then walked up to Rachel, "Hey, Rachel?"
Seeing that her friend didn't answer, Caroline playfully reached over her little hand and snatched the business card that Rachel was holding in her hand.
"Hey, my," Rachel reacted immediately.
Caroline threw herself on the couch, hid her business card, and spread her hands: "It's gone." ”
"Get up, if you lose it, I'll kick you out to sleep on the street," Rachel took Caroline aside, found the business card from under the pillow, and went into the bedroom to put it away, before he walked out and jumped in front of Caroline, holding the girl's little face and rubbing it messily: "Hahaha, Caroline, I'm going to Hollywood, Hollywood." ”
Caroline shook her head in dissatisfaction: "Hey, you must have just been distracted and didn't listen to Mr. Williams." ”
"Oh, by the way, what else did he say?"
"He said that the movie won't start until two years later, and he hopes that you won't rush to success in these two years, participate in more stage performances, and continue to hone your acting skills," Caroline said with a little schadenfreude on her face: "Two years, maybe by that time, he will forget." ”
Rachel was a little blindsided when he heard this condition, two years, whether it is long or short, since the film project decided by Firefly two years in advance, it will definitely not be a small fight, if it is really certain that he can get that role 100%, Rachel does not mind waiting for two years. But what Eric just gave was only a verbal agreement after all, although Rachel didn't think that Eric would make fun of himself as a little person, but if the other party really forgot after two years, then she could only consider herself unlucky.
Hesitating, Rachel decided to call his agent and ask him to come up with an idea.
Caroline looked at Rachel and picked up the phone to call her agent, and when the other party muttered a lot on the phone, and hung up again, the girl patted the pillow in front of her a few times with some regret: "Eric is gone, I can't invite him for my dad." ”
At this time, Caroline was simply a mascot that brought her good luck in Rachel's eyes, and after putting down the microphone, Rachel immediately rushed over and hugged the girl: "Don't worry, didn't he just promise to come to Europe to look for you after a while, and you can invite you again when the time comes." ”
"But while I know a little bit about Paris, I've only been to Berlin twice. ”
"Anyway, you are a little genius who will never forget, and when you go to the library and flip through the books for a day, you will know everything, but if you can't do it, I can accompany you to Berlin for a tour and explore the way first. ”
"Then it's settled, we'll go to Berlin tomorrow. ”
"You don't have to be in such a hurry even if you want to post upside down, I still have an audition tomorrow, and I'll go with you on the weekend." ”
……
After getting off the plane from Los Angeles International Airport, Eric went straight to Firefly Studios.
Michael Lynn, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Jeffrey Hansen, Frank Wells, and Stan Winston, Ed Carmore, John Lasseter, who are in charge of the digital realm and Pixar, were all present at Firefly Studios, along with some of the heads of other Firefly departments.
Eric walked into the room, sat down in the empty seat he had prepared, and said to Stan Winston on his left, "Stan, reintroduce the situation." ”
Stan Winston nodded, and as the assistant secretary handed out the documents that had been prepared to everyone present, he said, "This incident probably started after the box office of "Jurassic Park" came out on the first weekend, because "Tornado" last year I didn't pay much attention to what happened after the release, but I received more and more resignation letters in the past few days, and when I emailed you, we only received 126 resignation applications, but in just one day, it increased to 169, and I am currently holding most of them and not signing them immediately. Before this happened, there were 850 employees in the digital space, and of course that number doesn't include the tech support team led by Ed, but if things were left unchecked, we could have lost more than 30% of our workforce.
