America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 168 168. The collapse of Theron, the coming judgment

"Hey Theron! Is it convenient now?"

From the driver's seat of the Wrangler, Eric dialed the phone while driving.

"Eric, what's wrong?"

"How about having dinner together? Let's discuss the plot of "Inception" by the way."

"Well, sorry Eric, I'm a little tired and don't want to go out tonight. I'll treat you to dinner another day."

"Your tone sounds a little down, what happened?" Eric asked knowingly.

Theron hesitated for a moment before saying: "It's nothing. I'm just a little tired from filming. If there's nothing else, I'm going to hang up the phone. I need to take a rest."

"Wait a minute, after a day of filming, it's not good for your health to go to bed without dinner. If you don't want to come out, I'll buy you some food."

Hearing that Eric was coming, Theron hurriedly refused: "No, it's too much trouble. In fact, I'm not hungry at all!"

"Is your boyfriend home?" Eric said directly.

"Is he here?"

"Are you here or not?"

"exist."

"Really?"

Theron was silent for a while before speaking: "No, he is not at home."

"Okay, half an hour at most, wait for me!"

"No Eric, you must not"

"That's it!"

After hanging up the phone, Eric smiled, and he could feel the entanglement in the tone of the other party's words.

And being entangled just shows that she is in her heart, and he is enough to shake the status of her boyfriend in her heart.

A few minutes later, Eric was even more sure of his idea when he saw that the call had never been returned.

If Theron was really determined not to let her go, she would definitely call again to dissuade her, or even say harsh words, but she didn't.

Her current state is like a person walking on the edge of a cliff. Even if she exerts a little force, she can make an excuse and fall down.

The Wrangler hit the accelerator and headed straight for Leonard's restaurant. The two of them had dined here many times, and Eric knew what she liked to eat.

Meanwhile, Charlize Theron's villa in Beverly Hills.

The woman leaned against the wall and slowly slid down, finally sitting helplessly on the ground, her phone falling from her palm.

A series of numbers was already displayed on the electronic screen, but her finger did not fall on the dial button after all.

Sighing, Theron couldn't help but ask himself, what happened to him? What are you doing? He actually allowed a man to come to the house.

The scary thing is not because this man is unfamiliar, but because he is familiar.

The two have been together for more than a month, and she is not a fool. She can naturally feel Eric's friendship for her.

"Does it mean that I have subconsciously accepted Eric's feelings? Otherwise, why would I acquiesce to his arrival?"

"No, that's not the case. Eric is an investor, a producer, a player with power, and I am just a card on the card table."

"How can the card refuse the player? I just succumbed to his power."

"As for feelings, we are friends, and we can only be friends. Today is just a dinner among friends. It means nothing."

"I can't betray Stuart. By the way, Stuart, I have to tell him that if he sees him there, Eric will definitely give up."

Thinking of this, Theron picked up the phone and found her boyfriend's number, and then her fingers stopped on the dial button again.

Looking at the phone screen in front of her, she felt that her fingers weighed a thousand pounds and she couldn't press it down.

There was a battle between heaven and man in my mind. I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly heard the doorbell and woke up.

Looking up at the time, Theron was surprised and said: "Oh no, why has it taken so long? Eric must be here."

As if she was pushed by an invisible force again, she decisively threw away her phone, and the thought of notifying her boyfriend was thrown away.

When he opened the door, he found the little man who had made him uneasy.

Eric raised the paper bag in his hand: "Look at the signs on it. They are all your favorite dishes."

Theron said helplessly: "I told you you don't need to come, Eric."

"But I'm already here, why don't you invite me in?"

Theron took the bag: "Well, for the sake of food, at least you do remember what I like to eat."

boom!

When Eric walked into the house, it was his first time to come to Theron's house, and his goal instantly became clearer, that is, to make this place his home in the future.

After pouring the food onto the plate, Theron asked, "Would you like something to drink? Coke? Juice? Wine?"

"Of course it's wine, it's the perfect drink for this moment."

"Why?"

"The chef recommends that this foie gras must be paired with red wine to be delicious, and it seems that your mood needs a little alcohol to anesthetize it."

Theron's hand trembled suddenly: "What does this have to do with my mood?"

"Because it hears the sadness deep in your heart." Eric pointed to his ear.

The two looked at each other for several seconds. Under Eric's powerful eye attack, Theron was defeated and hurriedly turned around and walked to the wine cabinet aside.

"Uh, is it from Harland Winery, okay? Or Stags Leap Winery?"

“At Stags Leap Winery, Cabernet Sauvignon is the king of grapes.”

"The King of Grapes is a perfect match for you, the King of Hollywood. Is that what you want to say?"

Eric shook his head slightly: "King of Hollywood, haha. I don't like this title. That guy Harvey Weinstein can be called the Emperor of Hollywood. He has completely tarnished this title."

"I heard that Harvey Weinstein is not a good person. There are rumors circulating in the circle that he likes to be inappropriate with actresses."

"It's not a rumor. I can tell you it's a fact. There are at least dozens of actresses who were sexually assaulted or threatened to be sexually assaulted by him."

Hearing this, Theron was a little surprised at first, and then nodded with understanding. The circle is such a fucked up place, what can be done?

They came over with food and sat on the floor.

Theron suddenly asked: "Eric, are you not like Weinstein?"

"Do you think I need it?" Eric asked, pointing to his handsome face.

The two of them burst into laughter. Theron thought to himself that he had been alone with each other so many times. Eric had plenty of opportunities and really wanted to force himself on him, but he didn't.

Well, recently he seems to be getting bolder and bolder. He is no longer satisfied with verbal teasing and has begun to use physical force.

But it's not annoying at all, it breaks through one's own defenses as if it's moisturizing things silently.

"It will take half an hour to sober up. We can have something to eat first."

"Or watch a movie, I got the DVD."

"'Intolerable,' by Jennifer Lopez? I like her." Theron took the tape and looked at it.

"What kind of movie is this?"

"I haven't read any crime thrillers or suspense movies. The boss gave them to me."

In fact, of course Eric knew that the content of the movie involves domestic violence. The husband domestically assaults his wife, and then the wife wakes up and beats him up and kills him in revenge. It is a good revenge movie.

For Theron, this kind of movie is much better than a horror movie.

Turning on the DVD player, the Sony Columbia logo floated over, and the two of them watched while eating.

The movie was from last year and the picture quality is very clear.

As the plot of the movie progressed, the two of them had put down the tableware. Theron frowned and looked at the TV screen with an uncomfortable look on his face.

boom!

"OMG!"

As the scumbag husband breaks his wife's ribs with one punch, even though he knows it's a movie, the past memories still attack him.

Theron couldn't bear it anymore and turned his head and closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Eric approached her and opened his arms to hold her in his arms.

The moment the two bodies came into contact, he clearly felt Theron's body trembling, but he did not resist.

The two hugged each other quietly, and could hear each other's heartbeat.

Eric did not go further. After a while, he said: "Don't be afraid, she is going to kill that scumbag."

Theron opened his eyes, moved slightly, and found that it had no effect, so he stopped struggling, leaned on Eric's chest, and returned his attention to the movie.

In the end, when the scumbag husband was killed by his wife with a single punch and the wife was deemed to have acted in self-defense, Theron finally smiled.

Eric took the opportunity to peck her on the cheek, causing Theron to shudder again.

Then something seemed to move, four lips suddenly joined together, a pair of arms wrapped around Eric's neck, and the two kissed passionately.

The moist breath filled the air, Eric tried his best to taste Theron's taste, and their heavy breathing intertwined.

The kiss lasted for several minutes, as if he wanted to vent all the lovesickness and desire he had felt during this time.

Suddenly, Eric felt a force coming from his chest and he was pushed to the ground. Theron quickly stood up and took a few steps back.

She waved her hands repeatedly: "Eric, it's wrong for us to do this. I have a boyfriend, you know it."

"And Stewart didn't betray me. Please don't force me anymore. I'm worried that I will really be unable to control myself and betray him. I don't want to be that bad person."

Eric smiled and signaled Theron to be quiet: "Okay, I respect your decision, I won't force you, don't worry?"

Theron gasped and looked at Eric: "Really?"

"Really, I promise that what just happened will never happen again, okay?"

Theron nodded: "Okay, I. I'll heat up the food. You wait a moment."

Seeing that she didn't dare to look at him at all and found a lame excuse for running away, Eric couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

But it seems that he still needs to work harder. He knows that Theron is a more dedicated woman.

With her beauty and status, it was normal for her suitors to line up from Los Angeles across the Atlantic to London.

But there are actually very few scandals about her, especially during her relationship, there were no cheating scandals.

Is it because the tabloids are not working hard? Of course not. The United States’ entertainment media business capabilities are among the best in the world.

The main reason is that I really can't find her. Theron is such a woman.

But if you really want to get such a woman, you have to put more effort into it.

Afterwards, the two drank over-sobered red wine, ate the leftover food, and discussed the plot of the movie.

After experiencing the passionate kiss just now, Eric could feel Theron's heart opening wider, and she began to talk about the most painful memory.

My father domestically abused my mother and myself, and my mother chose to shoot my father to protect herself.

The two have been alone many times, and this is the first time Theron has discussed this topic.

The conversation started, and the two drank one glass after another. Eric couldn't persuade her, so he could only drink with her.

Then he held her in his arms again, smelling the smell of alcohol in her breath, and watching her eyelids gradually become heavier, until her whole body was completely soft in his arms.

"Alas! Sometimes it's hard to be a gentleman, especially when facing a beauty like you. But while your beauty is lowering my reason, it is also raising my morality."

"How could I do something to you that takes advantage of others? Have a good sleep."

Eric muttered to himself, picked up Theron, walked up to the bedroom on the second floor to help her take off her shoes, and then put her on the bed and covered her with a cool quilt.

Looking at this beautiful face, he couldn't help lowering his head, kissed Theron's forehead gently, then closed the door and left.

After a while, Theron slowly opened his eyes when he heard noises coming from the kitchen downstairs.

After a while, she saw Eric's leaving back through the curtains, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

He touched the part of his forehead where he was kissed, and then the ranting and quarrels his boyfriend had been having in the past few days came to mind.

Theron shook his head and covered his head with the quilt.

Time passed by for seven days. During this period, Eric was filming seriously. When the filming of "The Devil Wears Prada" was completed, he did not bother Theron anymore, and just kept in touch with her by phone and text message every day.

During this period, I also completed the script outline for "Inception", which I had written for more than a month. I found a script doctor to supplement the script, and at the same time arranged for the producer to contact the main actors such as Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, and Tom Hardy.

As for Nicole, I naturally sent her there myself, walking through the back door, exploring the sewers, playing with the bells, singing an opera and dancing.

And "La Vie en Rose" finally started filming after several months of script improvement, and the most important director choice finally fell on Ron Howard.

Eric admires and appreciates this great man very much. He is known as the director who is best at making biopics in Hollywood and has directed countless good works.

He had just won the Oscar for Best Director the year before last with "A Beautiful Mind," so I would definitely trust him to do it.

I didn't participate in the script of "The Power of Evil", I just came up with the creative ideas.

The format of a unit drama is actually relatively easy. I directly hired nine screenwriters to work on it, and I also handed in the first draft in a short time.

Eric reviewed it and put forward some modifications. It is estimated that it will be launched by the end of August.

The first season of "American Horror Story" still chose Murder House as the script prototype. Eric came up with an idea and arranged for the screenwriter to work on it.

"Hannibal" is adapted from a novel, so naturally the original author Thomas Harris was invited to come over, and two more screenwriters were found, and the three of them thought about it.

What really needs Eric's careful management is actually "Breaking Bad". If this show is only given an idea, ordinary screenwriters really can't do it and must polish it.

On the set, Andrea praised and said: "Director, it's great to see you so serious. I'm really afraid that you'll give up like you did in "The Life of Adele"."

Eric chuckled: "How do you know what I'm thinking."

"Um?"

Passing the director's microphone into Andrea's hand: "You will be in charge of the studio for the next few days. I have something to deal with."

"Huh? Here we go again!"

"Haha. If you endure hardships, you will be able to endure hardships even more. I will invest in making a short film for you. Come on!"

After drawing a big picture, Eric left the crew. He had to rush to Santa Barbara because Michael's court trial was coming soon.
