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

In mid-June, after Erica returned to New York from London, she focused all her life on "Forrest Gump", which will be officially filmed two months later - Erica's independent studio, which will Co-producer with Paramount.

In Erica's view, the right-wing conservative values ​​of "Forrest Gump" are bound to be criticized, but it is precisely because of this that he is very likely to win great success.

Although Hollywood is a stronghold of the left, in the United States as a whole, conservative tendencies still occupy a mainstream position.

On August 27, "Forrest Gump" was officially launched in Georgia. The main character, Forrest Gump, is an imbecile with an IQ of only 75. The film will use his innocent and kind-hearted perspective to tell about the changing historical period of the United States.

This inspirational story is undoubtedly very exciting, not only because of the protagonist Forrest Gump, but also using him as a clue to connect his mother, Jenny, Captain Deng Taylor and other images that truly bear the imprint of the times.

And Jenny, played by Erica, is a typical "Beat Generation"——

She is kind by nature, protects Forrest Gump who is being bullied, and is his only friend.However, due to her unfortunate childhood, Jenny lacks a sense of security, rejects traditional concepts, opposes patriarchy and patriarchy, opposes war and hides from the world, wanders around, is contradictory and painful, and has suicidal tendencies.

"Jenny always doesn't like to go home. Her mother went to heaven when she was five years old. Her father seems to be a farmer. He is a very caring person. He often kisses and touches her and her sisters." Gan's perspective shows Jenny's tragic childhood. She was harassed and even sexually abused by her pedophile father since she was a child.

She prayed, "Dear God, turn me into a bird that can fly as far as possible."

Under the shadow of childhood, Jenny became a hippie, a young liberal in adulthood.

Filming moved forward, and in late October, the "Forrest Gump" crew moved to Los Angeles, where Erica needed to be nearly nude at the Ambassador Hotel, singing Bob Dylan's anti-war ballad "Blowin In The Wind."

"How many miles does a man have to walk before he is called a man, and how many times does a boat have to go out to sea before he can sleep peacefully on the beach," Erica said, sitting on a high chair with only her guitar covering her body, her glamorous face , is real confusion and sadness, "And how many times, the roar of artillery fire, can end the war. The answer, my friend, is blown in the wind."

When Erika played Jenny, she chose method acting techniques.As Stanislavski said, "There are no small roles, only small actors." Jenny's role in "Forrest Gump" may only be counted as a supporting actress, and Erica tried her best to complete her , Let yourself be this image, shape the character from the inside out, show Jenny's complexity, and real and condensed emotions.

On October [-]th, it was late at night when Erika finished filming for the day, and while she was taking off her makeup in the celebrity trailer, she received a call from her friend Sofia Coppola, "Rika, do you have time to meet tonight? Rui Fan There is a party at the Hotel Nikko."

In the Nikko Hotel, River Phoenix's party gathered younger siblings and a group of friends, and Sofia apparently participated with her boyfriend Keanu Reeves.

On the other side of the phone, Erika raised her wrist to check the time, "It will take me at least half an hour to arrive at Hotel Nikko."

She has no filming plans for the next two days, so she has free time to meet up with friends and attend a party, not to mention Halloween is one day away.

Sophia said to her, "How about we meet directly at the Viper House at 8850 Sunset Boulevard? We are going to have a Halloween party there."

The Viper House, which has only been open for a few months, is now the hottest club in Hollywood. Johnny Depp is a partner of this club. There is never a shortage of celebrity faces at the late-night parties of the Viper House.

When Erica walked into the Viper House, Johnny Depp and the lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers were performing on the stage. Sophia quickly walked up to her and hugged her, "Rui Fan also plans to perform on stage, and he also brought guitar."

Erica and Sofia walked towards River Phoenix and his friends, the club was full of beautiful young people, Depp's girlfriend Kate Moss was drinking at the bar, smiling and waving at her, " Ricardo—”

It is obviously not the first time that Kate Moss and Erica have met. New York is the base camp of supermodels, and Erica has often met beautiful and sexy supermodel ladies at Vanity Fair.

And she does have a bit of a 'bad habit' of dating supermodels, like Black Pearl beauty Naomi Campbell, who is approaching her right now.

Erica and Naomi kissed face to face, "I have to say hello to Rui Fan and Keanu first."

And when she and Sophia were about to approach where River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves were, a tall young boy collided with her body due to the crowd in the Viper House. He had blond hair, blue eyes, and a handsome and delicate face. To a surprising degree.

Erica was stunned at first, his appearance was very similar to Harry Osborn, the difference was that the young man in front of her had more refined facial features, cheerful and pure temperament, while Harry was pathological and gloomy.

She recognized that this is the child star Leonardo DiCaprio who once starred in "Growing Pains". He just filmed "A Different Sky" with Johnny Depp not long ago. Although it has not yet been released, But it got a lot of attention.

In the dimly lit and crowded Viper House Club, Sophia didn't notice that Erica collided with someone. She put Erica on the shoulders and walked towards her boyfriend Keanu Reeves.Erika waved to the bartender, "I need a martini."

Erica looked directly at River Phoenix and found that his face was very pale. At this moment, a friend handed him a glass of wine, and he immediately drank it down.After only a few moments, he started throwing up and fell directly under the seat.

"Rui Fan!" Erica was the first to realize the danger, she immediately dialed the emergency number, and at the same time asked loudly to the person who gave him the drink, "What did you give him?"

The other party was already frightened, "speedball——"

speedball, a drink that mixes cocaine and heroin.

The family and friends around River Phoenix were in a panic. His younger brother Jacques even wanted to drag River out of the Viper House. The others were so frightened that they almost hit their heads against the wall. Erica tried her best to stop the panic and keep River The airway is clear.

While administering first aid, she repeated to the emergency caller who was still on the phone, "It may be due to overdose of cocaine and heroin, respiratory depression, and tachycardia."

Then, she asked the crowd gathered nearby to disperse, "open the doors and windows to keep the air circulating."

Sophia was the first to react. Cooperating with Erika, she yelled at everyone, "Rika is a licensed lifeguard! She has rescued drug overdoses!"

At this time, Rui Fan had already started to convulse all over due to the suppression of his breathing, he was in excruciating pain, and it was extremely difficult to breathe.Erica gave him artificial respiration, gently blowing into Rui Fan's lungs, and checked his heartbeat.

When the most critical 5 minutes passed, Rui Fan still failed to recover his spontaneous breathing, Erica continued to insist on first aid until the arrival of the ambulance, and quickly sent Rui Fan to the Mount Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

In the early hours of the morning, the emergency room where River Phoenix was located was pushed away. The doctor at the Mount Sinai Medical Center told the family members, "After intravenous injection of medication, his heart rate, breathing and blood oxygen saturation were out of danger, and he has now regained consciousness."

Erica and Sophia stood on one side, and when she heard that Rui Fan had been rescued, she let out a breath slowly, feeling that her muscles were tense and a little stiff and painful.

She planned to leave the hospital, but learned that Rui Fan wanted her to visit the ward.

In the ward, River Phoenix's face was still very pale, Erica's eyes fell on the monitor electrodes on his body, and his voice came from his ear, "I heard the ambulance doctor talking, if it wasn't for the ambulance before the arrival of the ambulance The first aid measures were precise and effective, and I may have stopped breathing and heartbeat."

Rui Fan didn't give Erica time to respond, but continued, "Actually, I once thought that we are similar people."

He is regarded as a genius who became famous at a young age, burdened with family financial problems, and had an unlucky childhood - Erika lost his beloved family many times, while Rui Fan's family regarded him as a tool to make money.

Erica could understand what he was talking about, Rui Fan once mentioned his childhood, almost terrifying experience in an interview.The painful marks of his original family were fully revealed on him.

Rui Fan smiled at Erica, "After being discharged from the hospital, I am going to the drug rehabilitation center. I can no longer try to use alcohol and drugs to counteract and suppress my depression."

He went on, as if to himself, "Maybe I'll quit Hollywood and be a rocker. I've always been too involved in the fringes."

This is also the reason why he was contaminated with drugs, and the high-intensity filming work and tremendous pressure in Hollywood have repeatedly made his depression worse.Rui Fan looked at Erica, "Do you think my decision is too willful?"

"Of course not," Erica approached Rui Fan, "You make your own life choices, no one has the right to tell you what to do, this life is yours, Thatyouaretheboss【You are the boss】"

When Rui Fan heard her voice, a childish smile appeared on his face. His voice was soft, "In my utopia, I live on a tropical island, where there is no industrial production and no pollution. I can climb the Snowy mountains, use an old tree stump to make a sled, slide down from the top of the mountain, bathe and swim in the stream at the foot of the mountain, and play with my friends."
