I’m in Hollywood

??readx(); When the box office data of Jurassic Park was released on the first day, Eric and the crew were still in London. Originally, everyone was a little tired from catching two premieres across the Atlantic in a row. After hearing the record-breaking box office numbers of Jurassic Park, the exhaustion of the crew was swept away, and everyone knew what it meant to double the midnight record and 21 million US dollars on the first day, so everyone in the crew was in the mood. They were all very excited. Eric booked a banquet hall at the Hyde Park Hotel where the crew stayed that night and invited everyone to party all night.

Although the London premiere has ended, the film will also be released in other European countries in the next month. Small countries such as Belgium and Luxembourg do not even have a premiere, and only need one or two actors to come forward to participate in some TV talk shows or The interview is enough, but France, Germany, Italy, Spain and other major European ticket-holding countries, Eric still has to show it, so after the London premiere, Eric did not leave and continued to live in London. .

More than five years have passed since waking up one morning in the summer of 1988 and discovering that he has traveled to this strange time and space, and Eric has forgotten the information about the original body. However, the British media obviously did not Forget about him, the 'Boy from Walworth', that title appeared in a London newspaper on the day Eric and his party landed at Heathrow. Walworth is a district in southeast London. Eric searched for his memory, but he could only barely piece together some pictures of winding streets. If he was really left in the so-called Walworth district, he would be. I can't find anything from east, west, north or south, but the 'kind' London tabloid published all the streets and alleys where his body had lived for eight years in the next few days, and very emotionally hoped that he could go back and watch Look.

Although the British do not want to take the whole world as their own, like the stick, they always adhere to the proud insistence of 'what is mine is mine, and what is mine is still mine'. On occasions like premieres. Eric is still very respectful to the British, and he did not hesitate to reveal some beautiful words about missing his hometown in the face of questions from the media. After all, he has won the favor of the country, and it will also have many benefits for the release of his own movies in the future. .

Attend the premiere. The exciting box office news from North America came, and the other main creators of the crew went to other countries in the European continent to promote it. . It was only when I was free. Although I was still able to receive a lot of party invitations, most of them could be dismissed confidently. Although not too cold to the British, Eric is still very interested in the city of London. So he asked the branch office to find a tour guide for him and walked through the corners of London.

The tour guide is an authentic West End girl named Caroline Wilson. She is said to be descended from aristocracy. She is petite and petite. Although she is young, she is very knowledgeable. Even more professional than those professional tour guides. According to the manager of the branch, the girl was a top student at Cambridge University and took over the job just for the summer work-study program.

However, this girl has a little pedantic peculiar to the British. Although the two are in an employment relationship, the girl has no self-consciousness that this young man is her temporary boss. If she disagrees with some of Eric's behavioral views, she will immediately She can speak bluntly, and there is a '!' full of arrogance before her words, which is also a bit cute.

On a slow-moving yacht on the Thames, Eric stood on the deck with the girl. Looking at the scenery that slowly slides on both sides of the river.

There is the House of Parliament, also known as the Palace of Westminster. This building was rebuilt after the fire in 1834. There were two original designs. One is the ancient Roman-style round The top-style building, the designer Mr. William Kent said that the architectural style represents harmony and order. Another scheme is the Gothic style of Sir Charles Barry, because this architectural style is mysterious and majestic, slightly less than that. The ancient Roman architectural style with a religious flavor was suitable for parliament, so this solution was finally chosen.

Eric didn't stand there as solemnly as the girl next to him. Instead, he leaned on the railing leisurely, listening to the girl's skillful introduction, and said with a smile: Caroline, the views I heard seem to be different from what you said. In the middle of the nineteenth century, London was due to various factors. It became darker and more chaotic, and the conservative but somewhat literary aristocrats felt that the dark and eerie Gothic architecture was more in line with the cultural environment of London at that time.”

Caroline Wilson was stunned when she heard Eric's words, and then took a deep breath: Mr. Williams, I don't agree with your point of view, although there is indeed such a statement, but the Parliament Building is so Important buildings never come from this ridiculous choice, it's a serious business.

Eric looked at the girl talking with a smile at the corner of his mouth. After Caroline Wilson finished speaking, she raised her head and stared at Eric's eyes, her eyes widened, waiting for him to continue to refute.

Eric was also planning to have a few more words with this pretty girl, when the originally gloomy sky unknowingly started to rain again.

The overall rainfall in London is not too much, but because of the special climate, the weather is always gloomy and gloomy most of the time, and there will be a drizzle from time to time.

The bodyguard, who had been hiding in the cabin, saw it was raining outside and quickly brought an umbrella over.

Eric took the umbrella and said, Since it's raining, let's find a pier to dock, and come here today.

The bodyguard nodded and got into the cabin again.

Eric held up the umbrella and covered the two together under the umbrella.

Thank you, Mr. Williams, Caroline thanked softly, shrinking her neck shyly, and said again in a blink of an eye, But, I still can't agree with your point of view just now.

Okay, I admit defeat, Eric said immediately.

On the river not far away, seeing Eric holding an umbrella for the girl next to him, frequent spotlights flashed on the boat not far away. From the moment Eric got off the plane. He hasn't broken paparazzi for 24 hours in four weeks, and after more than a week, he's used to these people.

However, he looked at the girl beside him. Eric suddenly asked, Caroline, have you read the newspaper recently?

The face of the girl, who has always been serious when they got along these days, immediately turned red, but she nodded honestly: Yes, Mr. Williams, but I won't take those words seriously.

That's good. Eric didn't want to talk about the gossips made up by the tabloids, and watched the yacht slowly stop on the front pier before Eric got off the boat with Caroline.

A black Bentley commercial vehicle has been parked on the side of the pier at this time.

Caroline, do you want me to take you back?

Thank you, Mr. Williams, but no, I can take a cab back, or lend me an umbrella if I can.

Eric looked at the finer and finer rain threads, and stepped forward to open the car door for the girl himself: I'll take you back. There should be no taxis nearby. Don't refuse, just treat it as an employee benefit.

Caroline Wilson hesitated for a moment. She knew that Eric lived in the Hyde Park Hotel. In fact, she also lived near Hyde Park. It was not too far from Eric's residence, and it was indeed difficult to find a taxi here. He thanked him again and got into the car carefully.

Eric closed the door and sat down on the other side. I told the driver to drive.

Where do you live? Eric asked after the car started.

Knight Street, the girl replied.

Eric nodded and instructed the driver a few more words.

Bentley traverses the winding streets of London slowly. The atmosphere in the carriage was quiet for a moment, perhaps because she felt that she was obliged to liven up the atmosphere by taking a ride with someone else. Caroline Wilson quickly found a topic: Mr. Williams, you have been visiting London these days. Are you planning to make a film about London?

It needs the right subject matter. However, if I really plan to make related films in the future, I will definitely ask you as a consultant again.

I, how can I do it, I can't, Caroline shook her head quickly: However, I can introduce my mentor to you.

Eric looked at the girl's serious appearance, smiled, and said, I heard that you are a Cambridge student?

Well, I read English literature. I just graduated this year and have been admitted to graduate school. I will continue to go to school after the summer vacation.

Eric nodded and said, My most recent movie had a heroine who was a top student from Oxford. How about you, are you interested in being an actor?

I'm not interested, I don't know how to perform, Caroline shook her head again, thought about it, and suddenly said: But a good friend of mine is very good at acting, she also reads literature, but she created it when she was in school. The drama club is amazing.

Eric just said casually. As for Caroline's classmates, he is not too interested, but he is still some distance away from the destination, so he casually agrees: Very powerful, how powerful?

Although Caroline felt that Eric was not too interested in this topic, Eric continued to ask, with the politeness cultivated since childhood, she still answered solemnly: She will write the script herself, and she is a sophomore. She won the Student Drama Award at the Edinburgh Arts Festival with her script written by herself. Having said this, Caroline suddenly chuckled twice.

What's wrong? Eric looked down at the clothes in front of him, nothing was wrong.

No, no, I mean, that, the comedy she won the award was Little Property, because every time she was performing, she had to fall off a seven-foot ladder, so after she won the award, she Just, I got a little ladder tattooed on my body.

Eric was a little puzzled. It didn't seem funny. After thinking about it, he suddenly asked, Then where is she tattooed?

Caroline's face suddenly turned red, and she dawdled on the seat a few times before she said, It's... here. After saying that, the girl stretched out her finger and pointed at the base of Eric's thigh, It was as if he had touched something terrifying, and he immediately retracted it, his face turning even redder.

Eric was interested in the friend Caroline mentioned this time, and tattooed a ladder on his butt. He had never heard of such a person.

Your friend is quite interesting. Maybe if you have a chance, you can introduce it to me.

Caroline nodded and wanted to say something, but in the end it felt too abrupt and she didn't speak.

Half an hour later, the car stopped next to an apartment near Knight Street, south of Hyde Park. At this time, the rain stopped outside. Eric put the girl down on the side of the road, said goodbye, and let the driver drive. leave.

Caroline watched the Bentley disappear into the street corner. Just as she was about to turn around and enter the apartment, she heard the familiar roar of the engine on the other side of the street, and then a large-displacement Jaguar King produced in the 1970s appeared in her field of vision.

Jaguar stopped beside Caroline, a girl with a wavy head and a bohemian dress jumped out of the driver's seat: Hey, Caroline, what are you doing standing here?

It's okay, Rachel, I just got back, Caroline shook her head.

Rachel glanced at her face a few times, and suddenly smiled: Did the director send you back?

Caroline blushed and wanted to deny it, but nodded slightly.

The girl named Rachel pinched Caroline's face lightly and smiled, I really can't do anything about you. It's been so many years, and it's good to tell a lie. There's no help.

I don't want to lie.

Okay, okay, Rachel shook her head helplessly, and suddenly asked narrowly, Then do you like that director?

I...I won't tell you, Caroline's face immediately turned red, and she subconsciously reached out her hands to cover her face, but Rachel hugged her in her arms: Come on, let my sister hug her.

Rachel was wearing small leather boots and was over 1.75 meters tall, but petite Caroline was only about 1.6 meters tall. She was held in her arms by a girl who was dressed quite differently, but she looked like a couple.

Rachel, don't, don't do this, Caroline pushed Rachel away and walked towards the apartment in a panic.

Rachel followed step by step, and continued to tease: I saw it in the newspaper, and it said that you and the director are a good match.

Don't talk nonsense, Caroline took out the key and opened the door, her eyes dodging, she wanted to change the subject, and said, I, I even mentioned you to him. (To be continued.)
