Chapter 070: Will You Spit?
Kapoor pinched the time very accurately, and arrived at the Hilton Hotel at 4:20 p.m. Twenty minutes before the guests enter, the Golden Globe Awards begin at 5 p.m. Western Time.
The guest waiting area was already crowded with people, chatting in groups, and Eric glanced at it casually and saw Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, and Sigourney Weaver, who were unattainable in their previous lives.
As the most popular young man in Hollywood in the past six months, there are few people present who don't know Eric, no matter whether they have met before or not, once they meet, the other party will nod to Eric in a friendly manner.
Walking all the way, the guest waiting area that soon came to the venue may be a special arrangement of the organizer, and the two crews are next to each other.
Eric thought about it for a while, but walked to the crew first, and said hello to Penny Marshall, Susan Sarandon and others, Drew knew that Eric would have some entertainment next, and consciously let go of Eric and stayed in the crew.
Compared with other crews, the crew seems a little deserted, Jeffrey is in New York, and the two actors who play the stupid thief are both out filming with film contracts, plus they are not nominated, so they did not rush back to Los Angeles.
By the way, Matthew Perry was preemptively signed by the WMA, although Matthew is young, but he is more experienced than the Runkels, during Christmas, Eric held a banquet at home, Matthew rushed back from out of town to participate, and also expressed to Eric in person that he was willing to play the stupid thief Marvin again, and the salary and the like can be discussed.
In contrast, the Runkels' cousins disappointed Eric.
"Hi Charlison, Mary, good afternoon. Turning to the crew, Eric smiled and shook hands with the Runkels. Mr. and Mrs. Runkel looked radiant at this time, and it was the first time that the couple had stepped to the front of the stage after all the media focused on their son.
"Hello, Eric. The couple smiled and shook Eric's hand, but the love in their eyes was a little complicated, during this time, someone had given them a lot of eye medicine, which made the couple's senses for Eric worse.
Eric was unimpressed, and was about to crouch down to greet Stuart Runkel, who was standing beside his parents and looking happily at him, when a voice interjected abruptly: "Mr. Williams, we meet again." β
Eric noticed that the middle-aged man who had just been standing beside the Runkels was none other than Horner Wiley, a CAA gold agent who had a previous relationship.
Thinking of the CAA's broker system, the reason why Horner Willie appeared here must be one of Stu Jr.'s agents. However, he still frowned a little, the last meeting between the two of them could be said to have broken up unhappily, and Horner Wiley came here today for a purpose, the purpose was self-evident, it was definitely to demonstrate to himself.
Glancing coldly at Horner Willy's outstretched hand, Eric said expressionlessly, "Hello, Mr. Willy, I'm glad to meet you too." β
Eric said this, but there was no trace of joy in his tone. Horner Willy was pleased with Eric's reaction, and withdrew his hand with a smile on his face, showing no embarrassment.
Today's thing didn't need to be handled by him, a gold medal agent, but he still ran it himself. Eric's refusal last time was equivalent to directly sweeping his face, the reason why he appeared here was to make this young man recognize the reality again, Stuart Runkel is already an artist under CAA, and if he wants to shoot, he must bow to CAA.
However, Horner Wiley took Eric's simple displeasure as a weakness of heart, and saw Eric bend down to pick up Stuart Runkel, and stepped forward and said: "Mr. Williams, Stuart is now my client, you need to talk to me about anything, and it is almost useless to play with a child." β
Eric swept Horner Wiley's meticulous hairstyle and neat clothes up and down, smiled, leaned into Stewart's ear and whispered, "Stu, you hate him too, don't you, do you spit?"
Stuart Runkel's sly, bright eyes turned, looked around, and then quickly turned to Horner Wiley.
Phewββ
"Ahh
Horner Wiley screamed, glared at Eric and Stewart fiercely, looked at the saliva on his suit in disbelief, and quickly pulled out the scarf from his pocket, but looked at his chest in horror.
Charleson Runkle hurriedly leaned forward to wipe Horner Wiley: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Wiley. β
Mary Runkel looked at Eric with displeasure, but she didn't dare to get angry with Eric, so she could only say to Stewart, "Stu, apologize to Uncle Willy." β
Stewart was held by Eric, as if he had found a support, and turned his head to the side as he ignored his mother's voice.
"Alright, Stu, if you want to meet the big stars, I'll take you to Mr. Tom Hanks. β
Eric didn't want to pay any attention to the three people in the back and walked towards the crew with Stuart in his arms.
Stewart said with a little pride in his tone: "Eric, I'm a big star now. β
"What's it like to be a big star?" asked Eric with a smile.
Stewart lowered his face and shook his head: "It's not good at all, I thought that after I could make a lot of money, my parents would be able to reconcile, but they quarreled more than before, and my father found another woman." β
Eric stopped and looked at the seven-year-old young boy in his arms: "Stu, how do you know all this, don't your parents carry you behind your backs when they do this?"
Stewart shook his head: "If it weren't for me, they would have divorced a long time ago, and the reason why they are still together now is because they are not confident that they can fight for my custody." β
"Stu, do you understand the meaning of those nouns you just said?" asked Eric, hesitantly.
"I'll know what it means after listening to it a few times, Eric, my dad took me to test my IQ some time ago," Stu said here, leaning close to Eric's ear and whispering, "177 Oh, Dad was very excited, and originally wanted to sue SΓΉ reporters, but that Horner Willy said to keep it secret, and he couldn't make any topics during this time, and then Dad didn't reveal it." β
Eric sighed and held a small pervert in his arms, and sneered at Horner Willy's trick again, the other party did this because he didn't want to raise the box office for the topic that was still being released. But with the current fame, this kind of icing on the cake is dispensable.
Coming to the crew, Eric put Stu down and hugged Tom Hanks.
Tom glanced at Horner Willy, who had already left in a hurry not far away, and his tone was gloating: "Eric, you just did that trick is really ruthless, Horna Willy has a strict habit of cleanliness, and the little guy can make him uncomfortable for a week with a mouthful of saliva." β
Eric had a wicked smile on his face, and it was from Horner Wiley's way of dressing that he had made Stewart do it, which was a bit vulgar but very relieving. Horner Wiley will definitely be restless in the next few days, and it is not impossible to leave a shadow.
"Tom, do you know Horner Willy?"
Tom Hanks nodded, "Of course, Eric, I'm also a CAA customer. But a lot of people don't like him, Horner Wiley used to be okay, and in the past few years, the CAA has been getting bigger and stronger, and he ......" Tom said this, stopped his words and shook his head.
Eric suddenly said: "I almost forgot this, Tom, I don't have a good relationship with CAA now, if you are invited to participate in the next film, you will not refuse, right?"
Tom Hanks laughed, "Of course not, as long as the script is good enough." β
Eric, of course, understands that Tom is a movie star of his level, and the agency doesn't have much control over him. There was a lot of joke in what I said just now.
The two chatted for a while, and Stewart innocently took Eric's hand, took out a small notebook from his pocket, and greeted the movie stars who had an impression in his mind everywhere to ask for autographs.
Although many people saw the little guy's spit just now, no one minded, at least on the surface, no one came out, and when it came to wrists, although Stewart was the youngest, he was 80% of the stars on the field. So everyone smiled and signed their names on Stewart's little notebook.
Several actresses who are overflowing with motherhood also picked up the boy and kissed him vigorously, leaving a few bright red lip prints on Little Stu's face.
After leading Stewart around for a while, the staff reminded the guests that it was time to enter. Eric handed the boy back to the Runkels, found Drew, and waited for the staff to remind him to enter the award hall.
