I’m in Hollywood

Well, I see. So, when will the film start?

I don't know either, Eric explained after taking a sip of champagne: Look, I need to do the post-production of Dark War next. After the movie is released in July, I also need to make a TV series for Fox. Barry Diller asked me to direct the first two episodes myself, so I'm not sure when the movie will start shooting. Tom, haven't you already made two movies this year, just to give yourself some time off and do Actors are so tired, and if they can't enjoy life well, what's the fun of getting such a high salary.

Heh, according to what you said, you are going to shoot four films this year. I heard that you are also the producer of the other three films at the same time. Isn't that a lunatic who makes seven films a year without love?

No, it's not the same, the old god Eric shook his head and repeated: I'm very different from you.

Hanks couldn't help rolling his eyes and teasing: Are you an alien?

Yes, my journey is the sea of ​​stars!

The two laughed together, and the party didn't end until midnight. Although Eric was drunk with a few bottles of beer at first, he didn't drink much after that, so he refused to drive and drove slowly home. rush.

In order to prevent paparazzi, many Hollywood celebrities' mansions in Beverly Hills do not have street lights in front of their doors, and the same is true in front of Eric's house. Therefore, when Eric got out of the car and opened the door, the woman's voice next to him really made Eric startled.

The woman called out his name, and then appeared in the light of the car lights, Eric recognized the tall figure, it was Nicole Kidman who had no news for several days, Eric After proposing that nasty condition, I temporarily put this matter aside, I didn't expect the other party to suddenly appear here.

Nicole, why are you here? Eric asked subconsciously. At the same time, he couldn't help looking up and down the other party's dress. At this time, Nicole Kidman was wearing a long black slim trench coat with black long legs on his feet. The high-heeled shoes made the girl's figure look taller and more attractive. If you ignore the fluffy curly hair that Eric thinks is so soiled, it is quite a bit of the glamorous queen in the memory of the previous life.

The girl couldn't help but take a step back under Eric's glance, and stammered, I...I want to understand, I...I am willing.

What do you want, marry me? Eric couldn't help but teased. Although the light was relatively weak, Eric still saw the girl's fair face quickly congested, so he stopped teasing and took out the key to open the door: Okay, come in with me first.

Nicole Kidman returned to where she had just stayed, pulled out a small suitcase, and got into Eric's car with her head lowered.

After parking the car, Eric brought the girl to the villa and pointed to the sofa: Nicole, you sit first.

Nicole Kidman put the suitcase next to the sofa, took off the windbreaker and hung it on the hanger, then sat down on the sofa somewhat restrained, seeing Eric turning around and walking into the kitchen, the girl's body was tense. I relaxed a bit and looked around. Although the design of this villa is mainly modern and simple, it is full of sophistication. Although Nicole came from a good middle-class family, she is not interested in Bev, who has heard of it for a long time. Lishan's mansion is also full of envy. Perhaps, if the man's promise is true, he will only need a few years to buy a villa like this in Beverly Hills. Thinking of this, the girl feels less anxious. Some, a little more looking forward to it.

Eric quickly walked out of the kitchen with coffee,

Nicole Kidman quickly stood up and wanted to step forward.

Sit down, you are still a guest now. Eric said as he pushed a cup of coffee in front of the girl.

Nicole Kidman sat down again, picked up the coffee, and after feeling the scalding temperature, put it on the coffee table again, rubbed her slender fingers on her knees a few times, and then raised her head to look directly at Eric: Mr Williams...

Call me Eric.

Well, Eric, can you... just make sure... I don't want to...

The girl twisted her fingers on her knees, her voice was full of unease, afraid that she would be too eager to offend the person on the other side, but she hoped to hear some accurate promises from Eric, the girl did not want to stay by herself. Here, he was toyed with for several months as a maid and a plaything, and finally was kicked out by the other party without recognizing him for nothing. As for what Eric said before, only being a servant, Nicole Kidman did not I believe this is the reason why she hesitated for several days, but the desire for fame and fortune made the girl unable to resist the temptation in the end and took the initiative to send it to the door.

Eric admired the embarrassed appearance of the girl for a while with interest, and then got up and said, Wait a minute. Then, he walked towards the stairs.

Nicole Kidman stared at Eric's figure and disappeared at the corner of the stairs before he retracted his gaze, and subconsciously glanced at the windbreaker hanging on a hanger not far away, Eric quickly reappeared, and the girl hurriedly pretended He calmly took a sip of his coffee.

Eric came to the sofa and put several printed documents in front of Nicole Kidman: The top one is the script, the bottom two are the actor contracts, after you read and sign, keep one for yourself. , give me one copy.

Nicole Kidman didn't expect things to be so simple at all. She picked up the top script with some excitement and looked at the name, Sleepless in Seattle.

As the girl flipped, Eric explained with coffee next to him: The actor of this movie has been decided, and Tom Hanks will play the role. As long as you pay attention to entertainment news a little, you should know that Hanks is Who. The heroine could have been handed over to Julia Roberts, but she also plans to have a movie to be released at the end of the year, and the influence of Fengyue is too great, she is not suitable for romantic comedies in a short period of time , I haven't had time to invite other actresses, you appeared in front of me, I have to say, Nicole, you are very lucky.

Nicole Kidman listened carefully to Eric's explanation, but she didn't leave the script for a moment. Is it really for me?

Of course, but your qualifications in Australia are completely useless in Hollywood, so you can only be regarded as a newcomer, and the salary is the same as when Julia was filming Fengyue, $300,000, and no dividends.

Nicole Kidman listened to Eric's narration and reached out to get the two contracts again, but Eric stopped the other party: Today is too late, we should rest, there are still several months left. , you can read it slowly, and just hand me a copy after reading the signature.

When the girl heard Eric's words, she lowered her head slightly: Then... that's fine.

Come with me, Eric said and stood up. The girl held a few documents in her arms, took the windbreaker and suitcase, and walked Eric upstairs.

Eric led the girl to the second floor and opened an vacant bedroom: This is your bedroom. The bedding is in the closet. It's all new. You can make do with it overnight. If you're not satisfied, you can change it tomorrow.

Well, thank you. The girl whispered, and Eric briefly introduced the facilities in the room before saying, You should rest early, I'm going back to the bedroom.

Eric turned to leave, and closed the bedroom door. Nicole Kidman, who was standing beside the bed, was about to make a move when the door was pushed open again. The girl subconsciously hugged her chest and quickly put it down again. He bit his lip with his hands, waiting for something to happen.

Eric looked at the girl who looked like a lamb to be slaughtered, smiled and gestured in the air, explaining: Nicole, I just forgot one most important thing, I want to remind you that starting tomorrow, You're about to start doing your job, I usually get up at seven, so I don't want you to be up later than me, have breakfast ready by eight, I'm not picky about this, you use the kitchen Just make the ingredients you are best at, and the same goes for dinner. The cleaning of the villa and its surroundings is also your job, you can decide how to clean it yourself, as long as you keep it clean.”

The girl nodded nervously: Eric, I understand.

Well, good night, go to bed early. Eric said, and closed the bedroom door again.

When Nicole heard the click of the door lock, she sat down on the big bed behind her collapsed, took a few quick breaths, stared at the door blankly, and waited for a few minutes, making sure that the other party would not open the door again this time, and the girl didn't. Pulling over the black trench coat on the big bed, he took out the tape recorder from the inner pocket, pressed the stop button, and turned his eyes to the several documents on the bedside table. laugh out loud.

After thinking about it, the girl turned the tape back, turned down the sound, and pressed the play button. There was a sound from the tape recorder. Although it wasn't too loud, it was enough to clearly distinguish every sentence of dialogue.

click-

The door was pushed open again abruptly, and Eric appeared at the door holding a pillow: Sorry, I think you need this...

With a snap, the tape recorder fell to the floor, bounced a few times, but still stubbornly played the sound.

...played by Tom Hanks, as long as you pay a little attention to the entertainment news, you should know who Hanks is. The heroine could have been given to Julia Roberts...

Eric's small but clear voice echoed in the silent bedroom at midnight. Eric stared at the small object in a daze, while Nicole didn't know what to do, sitting on the bed with cold hands and feet. , the body trembled slightly, and there was despair and fear in his eyes.
