The top of fame and fortune [Comprehensive British and American]

JFK International Airport, Queens, New York

Outside the spacious Terminal [-], Erica drove Osborne's Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit, and quickly parked in the parking space. This high-end executive car chosen by the Queen of England, She almost looked like a sports car driven by her.

"Aunt Mei, I promise, I will take care of myself." In the limousine, Erica took the latest mobile phone from Peter.

During her drive from the Parker house to JFK, Peter had explained to Aunt May the decisions she had made in the past two days.The most critical thing at the moment, of course, is Erica's unexpected trip to Italy.

Convincing Aunt May wasn't a difficult task, especially when Erica confessed her love of theatre.

Although Mei was worried about Erica going to Europe to audition alone, she still couldn't help worrying about it, but Mei had always been a caregiver who loved her children to a certain extent, so of course she would choose to support Erica.

After finishing the conversation with Aunt May, Erica handed back the not-so-small mobile phone to Harry Osborn. This "luxury" that costs more than $[-] in the market is obviously impossible for her and Peter to buy. .

Harry, on the other hand, wanted Erica to keep it. She was going to Europe soon, and it would undoubtedly be much more convenient to carry a mobile phone.But Harry knew very well that Erica might not accept his kindness, she would only think it was too expensive a 'gift'.

The young Mr. Osborne was once again filled with manic depression—he couldn't even get Erica to accept such an ordinary item due to the fact that the two were not close.

Erika, who just politely handed back the phone, of course didn't know what the boy in front of him who always had a deep expression was overthinking again.

Erika pushed open the side-opening door of the executive car, turned around and stopped Peter Parker, who was about to get out of the car and was about to send her into the boarding gate, "I can handle everything myself."

Then she looked at the young Osborne again, "Harry, thank you for lending me the car today."

She barely had time to continue talking to Peter and Harry, but waved goodbye to them before turning and walking into the terminal.

Michael Ovitz's private jet will fly to Rome in 10 minutes. In the phone call not long ago, he and Erica agreed to meet in the VIP lounge.

And when Erika walked into the waiting room that looked like a private salon club, it was less than half an hour before Ovitz's private flight took off, "Mr. Ovitz, I hope I am not late."

The most influential figure in Hollywood was sitting on a large Italian handmade chair. When he found Erica, he showed a hint of surprise, followed by a look of approval, "No, Miss Parker, you are better than I expect a lot early in the morning."

Although in the interview manuscript given to Michael Ovitz by "Vanity Fair", it is mentioned that Erica lives in Queens, so it is in the same area as JFK International Airport.

But when Ovitz talked to Erica, he mentioned that he would be boarding the plane in an hour, and he undoubtedly had some test mentality——

Within an hour, Erica Parker had to complete the entire process of rushing from home to the airport and boarding the plane, which was too tight a time.

According to Ovitz's estimation, even if she encounters the best road conditions, she will barely make it to board the plane. Therefore, he has asked the captain of his private flight to notify the airport control tower in advance three to ten minutes ago. He's going to delay the flight.

Ovitz was fully prepared that the young girl would not be able to arrive on time, but who would have thought that she would appear in front of him three to ten minutes before the scheduled departure time, neatly dressed and stylish, without any panic.

Erica raised her eyebrows slightly, with a beautiful and unruly smile, "My driving skills are pretty good."

Erika was watching Michael Ovitz while the two were talking.

The 44-year-old man has a typical image of the elite, with a suit and leather shoes, a moderate figure, and expensive glasses to cover his sharp eyes. His smile seems kind, but it has nothing to do with sincerity.And the watch with only the edge exposed under his shirt is enough to buy a high-end apartment in Manhattan.

"Miss Parker, you always seem to be able to surprise people." The smile on Ovitz's face became more kind. He left the seat and picked up the leather briefcase in hand, "I hope you can always be like this."

When Ovitz walked out of the terminal, he walked side by side with Erica, showing enough courtesy and respect.

And when he was about to walk to the boarding gate, he heard the young lady beside him say, "Sorry, can you wait for me for a few minutes?"

She saw the duty-free shop area not far away, "I need to go shopping."

Undoubtedly, Ovitz at this moment was once again surprised by this lady's behavior——

In Terminal [-] of Kennedy International Airport, there are indeed many duty-free shops of fashion brands. Could it be that Erica Parker is planning to buy some lipsticks on a whim?

Ovitz found it difficult to understand Erica's behavior, but he still said, "Of course, please."

He watched the young blond stunner walk into the L'Oreal Duty Free store, and it only took her about 5 minutes before she turned back and was ready to board the plane.

Ovitz didn't see any 'trophies' in her hands, perhaps in the leather bag she was carrying over her shoulder, he thought.

After that, Erika didn't make any other requests. She followed Ovitz through the boarding gate and entered his private business jet. She offered, "Maybe I can read the script on the way to Rome?"

"Of course," Ovitz handed the script of "The Godfather III" to Erica, and then made a harsh suggestion, "If you are confident about getting the role of 'Mary Corleone', I hope After arriving at the set tomorrow morning, audition as soon as possible."

It was [-]:[-] p.m. EST, and the flight would take off in about half an hour.

It will take eight hours to fly from New York to Rome, plus the six-hour time difference between New York and Rome, that is to say, when Erica arrives in Rome, it is already about six o'clock in the local morning.

This means that her interpretation and grasp of this role is almost only eight hours during the flight.

The corners of Erica's lips turned up, showing a firm and confident smile, "Of course, I agree with this proposal very much."

She opened the script, and after reading a few pages, she looked at Ovitz again and asked calmly, "Can I borrow your bathroom temporarily?"

"Please." Ovitz replied, frowning slightly, wondering what the young girl was going to do.

He watched as Erica picked up her leather bag and the script and went into the bathroom.And then, he waited for a full 10 minutes, but he didn't see the door being pushed open again.

During this process, Ovitz has read all the contents of the "New York Times", which once again published the news that he assisted Sony in the acquisition of Columbia Pictures, and had many criticisms of him.

And it wasn't until the private jet flew for more than half an hour that there was finally the sound of the door leaf coming from the direction of the bathroom.

Ovitz looked at it immediately, and the next moment, he was surprised——

She even dyed her long hair brown!

The light blonde hair that could almost be called a modern Monroe has now become a lustrous dark hair color.

Erica looked as usual, "In "The Godfather 2", the young Mary who briefly appeared on the screen has long brown hair. Although "The Godfather 3" is set in the 70s, when hair dyeing was popular in the United States, I can barely use this as a reason to keep my blonde hair. But dark hair is undoubtedly more in line with the image of Italian women."

So she walked into L'Oreal Duty Free before boarding the plane and bought a few tubes of hair dye.The world's first non-toxic hair dye comes from L'Oreal, which is their star product.

Erica dyed her blond hair a darker shade, naturally to fit the character.

But she deliberately made her behavior appear suspicious in front of Ovitz, no doubt in order to leave some more dramatic memories for Ovitz.In this way, she can get more support from Ovitz during the audition.

Director Coppola currently insists on using his daughter to play 'Mary Corleone'. If Erica cannot get strong support from outside Coppola, then she will probably be like the countless actresses recommended by Paramount before—— I went to Italy to audition in person, but I could only return in frustration.

Erica, on the other hand, obviously does not want to be treated like this, and she must not get nothing for what she gives.

In the private cabin, after being surprised for a short time, Ovitz soon discovered another unexpected thing——

After Erica dyed her brown hair, her original sexy appearance of a very typical blond stunner, at this time, unexpectedly revealed a very charming European femininity, elegant, calm, restrained, and pleasing to the eye.

Ovitz has been a gold medal agent for nearly 30 years. He certainly knows how amazing and rare such image plasticity is.

At this moment, Michael Ovitz, who had not taken over the work of newcomers for more than ten years, almost had the excitement of personally signing Erica Parker and making her the next legend of CAA.

But this kind of thought is just passing by in a hurry. Ovitz's current professional enthusiasm is obviously not in the CAA career.

He is busy issuing double challenges to Hollywood and Wall Street, intending to manipulate Panasonic to acquire MAC Universal, which will involve nearly tens of billions of funds, and Ovitz can easily make tens of millions of profits in this merger case Dollar.

Ovitz glanced at the Hollywood company merger and acquisition news published in the "New York Daily", and then he thought of Erica Parker's personal information, which mentioned that she was a financial economics major at Columbia University.

And during the undergraduate internship stage, she entered the Wall Street giant Wayne Group, which is undoubtedly enough to show her talent in the financial field.

Ovitz was suddenly a little curious about how this young lady viewed him assisting a Japanese company in acquiring a Hollywood company, "Miss Parker, have you heard of the Columbia Pictures acquisition?"

"In fact, the theme of the term paper I just finished was this merger." Erica returned to the cockpit with the script and looked at Ovitz, "Two months ago, you asked the Wall Street stock trading floor to , plunged 190 points in an hour."

Sony's acquisition of Columbia Pictures almost caused turmoil on Wall Street, and was even regarded as 'the Japanese invaded the United States'.

Erica's words once again caught Ovitz's attention, "You take this merger as the topic of your thesis?"

The young lady didn't say any compliments, but Ovitz was really surprised at this moment, "So what do you think?"

Before Erika answered, he said in a somewhat helpless tone, "If you also think that I am turning Hollywood into the prey of Japanese companies, I am a little tired of hearing these old clichés."

In the 80s, the Japanese economy developed rapidly, and perhaps due to its defeat by the United States in World War II, Japanese companies have been crazy about acquiring American companies in recent years.

"No, I don't think so," Erica said with a relaxed expression. "I think you don't care about Japanese companies, and you don't care about Hollywood companies. You are just playing your own personal challenge game."

Ovitz looked at her unexpectedly. In just two hours, he seemed to have been feeling this kind of mood in front of Miss Parker.

He continued to ask with great interest, "What do you think of Japanese companies entering Hollywood?"

"It's not easy for external financial resources to make money in Hollywood," Erica said with a calm and professional expression, "I'm afraid Sony will incur a staggering amount of losses because of this acquisition, and even drag down the entire company. Within ten years, unless they are lucky enough to meet a talented and meritorious executive, it is possible to stop losses and make profits."

Ovitz had to be deeply surprised again. The young lady's opinion was almost the same as his. He looked at Erica and praised, "I almost thought I was talking to my partner."

Erica raised her eyebrows and replied, "Maybe after many years, I will be qualified to be your partner."

"Miss Parker, your confidence is really charming." Ovitz sighed.

"I thought what you were trying to say was arrogance." Erica smiled, unmoved, "You can call me Parker, or Erica."

Ovitz said sincerely, "No, believe me, I have seen many arrogant young people, and you, Erica, I think your self-confidence comes from self-knowledge."

She is not only beautiful and self-aware, but also wise and self-aware.

Michael Ovitz cast his eyes on Erica, showing undisguised appreciation, "I am looking forward to your audition, what a surprise it will bring again."
