Near noon, Julia was busy preparing lunch in the kitchen with the maid, when the phone rang, Julia subconsciously shrunk her neck, and the large bowl of eggs in her hand almost fell.

In the past two days, she has suffered from a slight phobia of phone ringing, because Elizabeth not only refused Eric's request that night, but hung up the phone directly before the man finished speaking.

In fact, from the next day, Julia has wanted to call Sù Eric many times to tell Sù Eric that she doesn't want that role.

Although Eric is very hateful many times, Julia knows very well in her heart that she can have what she is today in Hollywood, all of which Eric has given, and Eric just wants her to give up a role that is not too important, and this request is not too much.

But a few days have passed, Julia has not called, deep down she is actually looking forward to Eric taking the initiative to call again and say a few good words to coax women...... Well, it's not too likely, and she's not used to it, so Eric is more likely to reprimand her unreasonably and then give up the role.

The phone rang five or six times in a row but no one answered, and the maid next to her saw Julia standing in a daze, holding a blender in her hand and mechanically stirring the eggs in the bowl, and reminded her loudly: "Miss Roberts, how many times has the phone ringed?" ”

Julia came to her senses and handed the beaten egg to the maid. Walk out of the kitchen: "Hey, Liz." Drew, the phone has been ringing several times, why don't you answer? ”

With a shout, he walked through the main living room and looked into the side hall, where there were still a lot of scripts, but the two girls were nowhere to be seen, Julia listened attentively, and the voices of Elizabeth and Drew could be heard faintly outside the window. The two of them may be playing badminton in the backyard, and Julia walks over to an extension and picks up the microphone.

"Why did it take so long to pick up? I'm outside your door, open the door for me," the girl hadn't yet spoken, and the familiar voice came out of the microphone, simple and direct, unquestionable.

"Ahh Eric, good ...... Okay, I'll do it," Julia put down the phone in a panic and walked out the door.

Pulling the door open with her own hands, the girl looked out of the villa. I saw a black Chrysler sedan parked outside, which was very ordinary, but the girl still recognized Eric with sunglasses in the driver's seat at a glance.

The car slowly drove into the yard, and Julia closed the gate, and when she returned, she saw that Eric had parked the car and got out of the car.

"What are you doing. So long to answer the phone? Eric asked casually, taking out his briefcase from the car and stuffing it into the girl's arms. He turned over and went back to get his mobile phone.

Julia took the bag and explained, "I didn't notice. ”

"Oh," Eric asked casually, grabbing his mobile phone and closing the car door before asking, "Are you home alone?" Didn't you say that Liz and Drew were both here? ”

"They're in the backyard," Julia pointed to the back of the villa, and saw Eric walking towards the villa with his mobile phone in hand, and the girl hurriedly followed the man.

"It's so fragrant, it seems that I arrived at the right time, just for dinner."

The middle-aged maid named Mary heard the man's voice, and curiously glanced towards the living room, and didn't recognize Eric for a while, and quickly shrank back with interest, as a servant of the star family, Mary got a good salary, but the employment agreement signed was also very harsh, and the most important thing was that she couldn't inquire or spread the employer's **, otherwise she would face sky-high claims.

Julia put aside the briefcase that Eric had brought, and instead of sitting down on the couch with the man, she said a little cautiously, "I'll call them." ”

Seeing Julia appear, Elizabeth, who had missed Drew's serve again, put down her badminton racket and said, "It's time to eat, don't play, Julia, I still think we should change this place into a tennis court, the badminton is light and fluttering, and it's not interesting at all." ”

Julia didn't argue with Elizabeth this time, saying, "Eric is here." ”

Elizabeth asked uncertainly, "What?" ”

Drew had already dropped his tennis racket and ran towards the villa.

Elizabeth looked at Drew's back and shrugged: "Okay, I see, her master is here." ”

Julia chuckled, slapped Elizabeth and said, "Don't say that all the time, be careful to say it smoothly and be heard by Drew." ”

"Maybe she'll be happy to hear that," Elizabeth said nonchalantly, and then lowered her voice again, "Eric, how's that?" ”

"I ...... didn't dare to look closely, who knows if he was angry, anyway, it was you who hung up the phone that day. ”

"I'm for you, you're a little responsible, okay!" Elizabeth suddenly said in a tone of hatred.

It wasn't to face Eric, so Julia immediately retorted sharply: "If you don't have a weak heart, why ask this." ”

"I'm not weak-hearted, it's just ...... It's just that that guy is too hateful," Elizabeth immediately retorted, and glanced at the villa, Drew's figure had disappeared, and Elizabeth immediately hugged Julia over and kissed her: "Baby, wait a minute, we must share the same hatred, we must not give in, this is not a matter of role, this is related to the dignity of our women." ”

Julia frantically pulled away from Elizabeth's arms, "No, Eric is here, it would be bad if he saw it." ”

"Let him see just right, so that he will be completely dead," Elizabeth said.

The two women walked into the villa together and saw Drew muttering something beside Eric.

Seeing the two people coming in, Eric looked up and said, "Julia, let the maid have a holiday when lunch is ready, we have something to talk about, and it is not suitable for outsiders to hear." ”

Elizabeth was about to reflexively retort, but Julia pulled her sleeve.

"I'll tell Mary later," Julia said.

Lunch was quickly prepared, and the maid listened to Julia's orders. Left the villa without any objections.

"I sue you, Eric. We will not give in this time," Elizabeth said to Eric with her chin tilted back at the table.

Eric, who was cutting steaks, raised his eyes and looked at the girl sitting across the table, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's okay, I'm very experienced in treating women who don't accept this kind of small problem, just slap a few times on the buttocks, and I'll start with you later." The first ten hits are free. ”

"You, you...... If you dare to do that, I'll call the police," Elizabeth said at once.

Julia, on the other hand, immediately recalled the situation that night, a faint tingling sensation spread from her buttocks all over her body, and her cheeks quickly turned red, even ...... There is also some kind of inexplicable expectation in my heart.

But this expectation scared Julia, and the girl knew it very well. This kind of love is definitely abnormal, so she quickly said: "Eric, I'm not going to play "Captain Hawke", I'll call Capper in the afternoon to push off the film appointment, and you can give it to whoever you want." ”

Eric smugly raised an eyebrow at Elizabeth, who slapped the cutlery in her hand on the table. glared at Eric angrily, gave Julia another disdainful look, and stood up suddenly: "I'm full, you can eat slowly." ”

After the girl finished speaking, she walked out of the restaurant and walked towards the second floor.

Julia thought Eric had accomplished the purpose of her trip. She was supposed to leave after lunch, but the man didn't do what she wanted. Until she and Drew cleaned up the dishes, Eric had no intention of leaving.

Seeing the two girls come out, Eric, who was watching TV in the living room, said, "Go and call Liz down, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Julia just nodded, but Eric stood up: "Forget it, I'll go." ”

"Don't you, Eric...... Don't bully Liz all the time," Julia said weakly as she watched Eric walk towards the staircase.

Eric reluctantly made a reassuring gesture to Julia, and walked up to the second floor, because he had been here once, he already knew the distribution of the rooms of the two people, and walked to the door of the second bedroom on the left turn, Eric knocked twice, pushed the door open, and saw Elizabeth lying on the big bed with her head buried in the pillow in her arms.

"Liz, asleep?" Eric asked, walking over to the girl and sitting down on the edge of the bed.

Elizabeth, who heard Eric's voice, turned over, hugged the white pillow to her chest and looked at Eric: "Hmph, bastard, I don't want to talk to you. ”

"Don't make a fuss, go downstairs and get something to eat, I've got something to say," Eric said earnestly, pulling the pillow that the girl was holding on to his chest.

Elizabeth waved her arms, snatched the pillow childishly, and held it in her arms again: "Haven't your purpose been achieved, what else are you talking about?" ”

"If it was just about the character of "Captain Hawke", I wouldn't be here, it's another very important thing, be obedient and follow me downstairs."

"I'm in a bad mood today, I don't want to hear it," Elizabeth said in a long voice, as she turned over again and buried her head in the pillow and lay on the bed, her slender calves wrapped in jeans and kicked twice, throwing the sandals on her feet to the floor.

Seeing that the girl seemed to be about to lie on the bed, Eric remembered the ostrich that buried its head in the sand, and then, with a smile, he raised his hand and slapped it at the girl's "qiaotun".

"Ah......h

Elizabeth screamed and jumped up.

"Have you read this book?" Elizabeth was 'persuaded' downstairs, and the three women and one man gathered in the living room, before Eric took out a book from his briefcase and placed it in front of the three of them.

Elizabeth took the book in front of her and looked at the title, "Dances with Wolves", written by Michael. Blake.

"I haven't read it, what are you doing with this book, even if you want to get the copyright to make a movie, why bother looking for the three of us, I can tell you Oh, this time we have to choose our own script, and we will definitely not let you interfere in the slightest," Elizabeth's tone was still a little hateful, although she wanted to reach out and rub her buttocks, which was still a little painful, but the girl was unwilling to show weakness in front of Eric.

Eric just smiled and explained, "This is a book about the Civil War period, a man named Strong. The story of Dunbar's lieutenant being wounded and being sent to the west to get along with the local Indians, you can take the time to take a good look at the details, the story is well written, and it is important to you. ”

The three women looked at the book together, and Elizabeth said, "I didn't understand, can you explain it?" ”

"Here's the thing, this book was originally just a script, and it was written in 1980, when it seemed to be called "XX Knight", and I couldn't find the specific name. Later Kevin. Kostner in 1986 from the author Michael Brown. Breg got the script in his hands, but Kevin. Costner traveled for several years, but did not find a production company to invest.

Until the year before last, Michael. Breg in Kevin. Kostner's construction made the original script into the novel "Dances with Wolves", because the novel sold well, and finally a small production company was interested in investing in the film, but then there was no suitable director willing to take over the film. Costner had to go into battle himself, directing and acting in the film.

According to the information I have gathered, the film was completed last year. Costner's excellence, after the original investment of 15 million was spent, the small company refused to invest again, and he had to pay $3 million to make up for the money, and then the distribution of the film was also very unsmooth, none of the seven major film companies was willing to take over the distribution work, from the end of last year to the end of last year, until recently, the film found a distributor, it is Orion Pictures, this film company you should know, right? ”

Elizabeth nodded, "Yes, but what are you telling me all this for?" ”

"I'm expressing to you the fact that this film has been very, very unpopular since the beginning of the production, which is very beneficial for what you want to do in the future."

Elizabeth seemed to understand something: "So, you like this movie?" ”

"Yes, but I'm late, the small company that made the film has already signed a distribution contract with Orion, just over a month ago. Moreover, they plan to release it on a small scale at the end of the year, take the route of the Oscars and the Olympic films, expand their influence by winning awards, and then slowly recoup their investment by releasing them in theaters and distributing videotapes. That's the point I'm going to make, according to the information I've gathered, this movie is a big threat to "The Silence of the Lambs", you should know how discriminatory the Oscars are against horror films, as long as there is another choice, the Oscars will never give an award to a horror film. ”

Elizabeth is still very confident in "The Silence of the Lambs", and when she heard Eric say this, the girl wondered: "If this movie is really as good as you say, then why is no one willing to release it?" ”

"High-quality films don't necessarily get high box office, you can only know if you look through the list of Oscar winners over the years, a large part of them are distributed by independent production companies, and many films are not favored before release, but it often happens that they become Oscar winners after release, of course, counterexamples abound, so it is easy to understand that those film companies are reluctant to release.

What I want to say is that Orion's positioning of this movie is an Olympic film, and according to this novel, the theme of the movie should be the racial integration of whites and Native Americans, this kind of film can often be favored by Oscar tastes, plus Orion is also very experienced in PR Oscars, so if you don't do something, at next year's Oscars, this movie will definitely be the biggest enemy of "The Silence of the Lambs".
