Eric nodded and turned to Jeff, "Jeff, that's right, I'm going to host a pie at home in the evening, and I want to hire a chef...... And a waiter to help, so I thought of you here. ”

It is a very profitable business for restaurants to send chefs and waiters to prepare pai duì. After hearing this, Jeff happily said, "No problem, let Vanessa and Cindy and the two of them go." ”

"The chef has no problem with Vanessa, and as for the waiter, let this young lady go. Miss Julia, is that okay?"

Julia Roberts glanced hesitantly at Jeff before nodding.

After confirming this, Eric casually chatted with Jeff and wrote down the menu for the evening, and he worked as a waiter in the restaurant, so he didn't need to be introduced to write down a series of dish names.

After writing the menu, Jeff took it and looked at it, got up and said to Julia Roberts, who was still standing next to him, "Julia, come and help me." Eric, wait a minute, it'll be fine soon. ”

Eric nodded.

Arriving in the back kitchen, Julia Roberts noticed that Jeff had handed the bill to a chef and didn't mean to ask for help, and asked curiously, "Mr. Jeff, what do I need to do?"

Jeff glanced Julia Roberts up and down, this girl had nothing special except for a bigger mouth and a better figure, and he was even more curious.

"Julia, don't you know that Mr. Eric?"

Julia was a little confused: "Mr. Jeff, I'm sure I haven't met him, I've only been in Los Angeles for a few months. ”

Jeff didn't bother to go around in circles with Julia Roberts: "You should know, right? He's the young director who filmed it." ”

Julia's eyes widened instantly, and she remembered that she had recently seen in the newspaper that the director's photo did indeed resemble the young man: "You mean...... That one...... That one. ”

During this time, anyone in the whole of North America who has not heard of the young director who created the miracle of zào has either just returned from Mars or traveled to other planes.

"Yes, that's him. When we were chatting just now, I mentioned in passing that you are also an actor. Originally, Eric only planned to hire a chef in his tone, but then he added a waiter and assigned you to go. ”

Julia Roberts, who had not received any film offers for nearly a year, covered her mouth when she heard Jeff's words, looking a little excited, she had participated in many auditions over the past year, all of which ended in failure. No one better understands how important a chance is.

"So," Jeff patted the girl on the shoulder, "take it, girl." It is said that Eric will be filming his new film soon, and maybe you can get a role in it. ”

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Jeff. ”

Jeff smiled and waved his hand, he was actually a little selfish. After Eric became famous, he was dug up by the paparazzi because of his experience working in his own restaurant, making Jeff's restaurant quite famous in the area, and business was much better. If another well-known actor can pop up, the restaurant's business will definitely go to the next level.

……

"Mr. Eric, may I ride in your car?"

Eric had just pulled out the keys to start the car, thinking that Julia Roberts would be sitting in the back cook's van, but he didn't expect to run in front of him.

"No problem, Miss Julia, please. ”

Casually glancing at the girl who got into the co-pilot wearing a seat belt, Julia had already changed out of the costume of the restaurant waiter, and even re-put on light makeup, wearing a crimson jacket on the upper body, a pair of light-colored jeans on the bottom, and the tight fabric perfectly showed off her slender legs, Julia Roberts was only 21 years old at this time, although her appearance was not outstanding, but her whole body was filled with a youthful and invincible atmosphere.

"Do you know who I am?" asked Eric, holding the steering wheel.

Julia, who was thinking about how to talk to her, nodded subconsciously: "Well, Mr. Jeff sued me." ”

"No wonder. Eric chuckled.

Julia asked curiously, "Mr. Eric, what's the wonder?"

"Miss Julia, I paid $10 an hour for you, but your outfit doesn't seem like you're going to be a waiter, it's a bit like you're going to a pie. ”

"Ah," Julia looked at her clothes, and after hearing Jeff's words, she only subconsciously wanted to make a good impression on the director, so she hurriedly changed her clothes: "Yes...... I'm sorry, Mr. Eric, but I ...... I can go back and change it back. ”

Eric smiled and shook his head, "No, that's fine." I heard you have a movie coming out in October?"

Worried, Julia Roberts hurriedly replied, "Yes, it's called, it's about the love story between three girls who work in a bakery and their boyfriends." Now the box office has exceeded 10 million dollars. ”

Julia mentioned the box office, her tone was just a little proud, and when she thought of the achievements of the young man's movies in front of her, her little face instantly collapsed.

Although the box office of more than 10 million US dollars is already a small profit for such a small-budget movie, compared with the same low-cost movie that is still popular now, it is not even qualified to lift shoes.

"Ten million dollars is not bad," Eric hadn't seen the film and wasn't very interested. Just know that this movie is also Matt Damon's film debut: "Jeff said that you haven't received a film contract for a year, and I guess after this movie, someone will definitely notice you." ”

At the mention of this, Julia was a little resentful, and after getting a good box office, the agent, who was originally very cold to her, saw her potential and came up again, and pouted to arrange some movie auditions for her. However, Julia directly kicked out the agent who had not won a role for herself for a whole year.

"Mr. Eric, I heard...... I heard you're about to shoot your next film?"

"Now there is only one thought, the actor has not been decided, and the script is not yet available. ”

Eric nodded and made a little joke, and sighed in his heart What a coincidence, he was just about to shoot when the heroine of his previous life appeared in front of him.

To use, or not to use, that's the question.

In fact, Eric's favorite heroine is Sophie Marceau, an actress who can perfectly integrate the two temperaments of innocence and sexiness, except for Sophie Marceau, Eric really can't think of a second one for a while.

However, now this French rose has not yet broken out of the European film circle where art is paramount, and it is not very famous in North America.

As for now, the reason why Julia is hired as an additional waitress is that Eric is thinking about how to bring Julia Roberts under his command. After all, in her previous life, she was the first actress to enter Hollywood's 20 million salary club, a veritable Hollywood sister, and her strength is undoubted.

Thinking of this, Eric asked, "Julia, do you have a brokerage now?"

When Julia heard Eric's question, she was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "No, I just fired my agent not long ago, and now my affairs are up to me for the time being." ”

"That's just right," Eric said, "and Julia, how about joining my agency?"

After learning from Barry Diller that Stuart Runkel had signed with CAA, Eric had the idea of starting a brokerage company, and he didn't want to make movies and become popular stars cheaper than others, and finally negotiate terms with him in turn.

I thought that Eric was going to invite her to audition for the film, but if that was the case, Julia would definitely agree without even thinking about it.

But she didn't expect to invite herself to join his agency, which made Julia a little cautious, she didn't want to waste another year or more because she joined the wrong agency.

"Mr. Eric, I don't have such a plan for the time being, my previous agency didn't bring me a job for a whole year, and I now have to work in a restaurant to make ends meet. ”

Eric said: "Don't worry, Julia, I can promise you at least two films in the next year, and we can write them into the contract." ”

It seems that the film that made Julia nominated for an Oscar was filmed in Columbia next year, and although he had a hard time with Bront Cohen because of the gambling contract, it was still no problem to recommend an actress. Colombia can't be monolithic, it's nothing more than an exchange of interests, and Eric is the most lacking in chips.

Julia Roberts hesitated for a moment and said, "May I think about it, Mr. Eric?"

"Absolutely. Eric said casually, thought about it, and added: "Actually, the heroine of my next movie wants to invite French actress Sophie Marceau, if she refuses, you still have a chance." ”

Julia's hand on her knee clenched, her lips pursed tightly, and her heart was clearly tangled. Her parents and brother are both in the entertainment industry, and Julia, who knows this circle well, certainly knows what it is to play the heroine of Eric's next movie. That boy is so beautiful now.

However, it is precisely because her parents are insiders that she knows that this business is full of all kinds of deceptions, and Eric's words just now are completely unrelated to promises, and they are at most a bait.

If she agrees to join Eric's agency in a hot head, Eric will forget about it in a blink of an eye, and she will only want to cry without tears.
