Chapter 568
In the luxury suite on the top floor of Hyatt Hotel, Eric sat by the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at his copy of "Home Alone" manuscript that he took last night. He couldn't help feeling that he still remembered the old typewriter Before knocking on this script, the sullen mood was unconsciously for five years. ". 》
After a whine of water in the bathroom, Kelly Hu walked out wearing a simple bathrobe, staring curiously at the back of Eric for a while, but could n’t help but leaning forward, next to the thick Eric Sit down on the carpet and lie on the knee of the man looking at script in the hands of Eric.
Eric glanced at the woman ’s posture at that moment, reaching for the girl ’s delicate face and asking, "Have you been to Japan?"
Kelly Hu crooked his head, rubbed his face on the palm of Eric and rubbed it: "I went there with my good friend six years ago."
Eric felt the kind of memory and yearning in the tone of Kelly Hu, saying: "It seems that you have a good impression of Japan."
The woman ’s mind is always very sensitive. Kelly Hu can hear the indifference in the tone of Eric, saying: "Alright, they are ... very polite."
"Let's get dressed, let's have breakfast together," Eric no longer interested in talking about this topic, and squeezed the woman's delicate chin.
There was a hint of hesitation in the action of Kelly Hu. From last night to now, what happened should have happened, but Eric never mentioned the role again. She was very worried that she would have breakfast for a while, and Eric would open her mouth and let her leave. .
Seeing that Kelly Hu did n’t move, Eric guessed the girl ’s thoughts and took out a personal business card from his pocket and handed it to Kelly Hu, saying: "" Resident Evil "will probably start preparations next year, you have more than four months to prepare When I prepare for the project next year, I will arrange an interview for you personally. If your performance meets my requirements, I will hand over the role of Ada Wong to you. So, take advantage of this time and try to figure out more about this role Personality traits, in addition. It is best to report a short-term acting training class. "
Kelly Hu received the business card of Eric, and asked with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "So ... what if my performance does not meet your requirements?"
"Ada Wong will be very good if played well, just like the role of Brooke Shields in 《Running Out of Time》 a few years ago, only a few minutes of appearance. But it can impress the audience with non-parameters. But if your performance can not meet the standard , Then it will not only ruin the film, but it will not help your personal acting career. However, even if you ca n’t pass the audition, I can help you arrange other opportunities. ”
When Kelly Hu heard Eric, which had no promise at all, a disappointed expression that was hard to conceal appeared on his face immediately.
Eric provoked the girl's chin with some dissatisfaction: "Did you treat me as the last small Director that is used to swindling women to bed with big words and then turning their heads and not recognizing?"
"Mr. Williams, I don't have one," Kelly Hu's eyes flickered.
"It does not matter. Since last night your manager arranged for you to be close to me, then you can tell my original words to the other party, I think he will definitely understand what I just said. If Neither can he. Then take the business card in your hand to find uta and change it to another manager, they see what my business card just knows should do. "
"Well, I know," Kelly Hu murmured, avoiding Eric's gaze.
Eric slipped his fingers, took off the loose bathrobe on Kelly Hu, admired the girl ’s exquisite body, and said undoubtedly: "Now, go get dressed."
......
The **** kitchen area in the middle of Manhattan. A large container truck parked outside an old-fashioned house on the street, and a lot of photography equipment was stacked around it. This is the shoots site of "Léon: The Professional".
When Eric arrived here from Hyatt Hotel, the crew was in shoots. At this time, the body was not blessed and there was a little handsome Luc Besson who was talking with two Actor men and a woman. Eric didn't mean to intervene at all, just stood by and watched like a passerby quietly.
Lolita is no longer that Lolita anymore.
Although the actor is still Jean Reno, the Heroine in front of him is replaced by a 16-year-old girl named Melissa Grint.
However, this Heroine is not as precocious as many United States girls. It is small, only one meter and five meters in size, giving people a feeling of stunting. Although Luc Besson did not activate the original Lolita, the Actor found still gave the feeling of giving Lolita more than Lolita.
Today is the third day of shooting. The villain Gary Oldman has not yet entered the group. At this time, shoots happens to be the classic dialogue scene when Matilda and Leon met at the stairs.
The shoots of this scene is very smooth, just simply ng five or six and passed.
Although the performance of the girl named Melissa Grint is different from the Natalie Portman style in her memory, her acting skills are not inferior to each other, but she plays Matilda with a burning cigarette and asks Leon life is only as painful as childhood When it was still very painful, the girl fully expressed the loss and confusion of adolescence in Heroine and the disgust of life at that time, so that the Eric who was watching could not help but secretly applauded.
Perhaps, Hollywood is really like this, no one is irreplaceable.
Without the twelve-year-old Lolita, "Léon: The Professional" will surely cause a lot less controversy in the future. Perhaps it can break through the limitations of the original space and time, and may be nominated for several Oscar awards.
At noon, a group of creatives chose a nearby restaurant to invite Eric for dinner. The 16-year-old pseudo loli also happily chatted with Eric about her views on the role of Matilda. Eric and Luc Besson also talked about some questions about the creation of script. Eric also revealed some plot ideas in the style of "Taken" to Luc Besson. Luc Besson is already very good at the creation of this type of film. It can be said that "Léon: The Professional" is completely In the Luc Besson works, the two of them hate each other when they meet each other. Luc Besson immediately indicated that they would create a copy of script according to the idea of Eric as soon as possible.
In the afternoon, shoots just started very smoothly, but after more than an hour, someone found that Melissa Grint always frowned slightly during the shoots process.
Melissa Grint originally said that there was nothing, maybe it was something unclean at noon, but in the process of climbing the stairs, Melissa Grint directly softened his legs. Rolled down the stairs.
The whole crew was in turmoil. The doctor arrived more than ten minutes later and checked it. The problem was not serious. Just acute appendicitis.
At the same time when the crew was relieved, they quickly became embarrassed.
Because news soon came from the hospital, the girl needed surgery immediately. Although appendicitis surgery does not take too long, but the follow-up training is definitely not possible in a week or two. The film crew that burns money every day cannot wait for a Heroine for two weeks.
The only gratifying thing is that the crew only turned on for three days. The loss is not large, you can immediately replace the Actress.
Although he sympathizes with a fake loli, Eric was a little excited. He had planned to return to Eath Hampton. In this situation, he offered to watch the video tape of the Heroine audition.
Luc Besson also had no objection. Everyone returned to the hotel where the crew was staying. Deputy Director soon found out all the audition videos of the girls who participated in the last few auditions.
There are forty or fifty small Actors with video tape records. Eric looked at all the video tapes with some anticipation, but did not find any girl named Natalie Portman.
Then Eric will have no interest and continue to watch. Say goodbye to Luc Besson soon.
......
On the road back to Eath Hampton, Carter Moon, a bodyguard and driver who has been following Eric for several years, saw the expression of Eric through the rearview mirror and actively asked: "Boss, are you in a bad mood?"
Eric shook his head: "Occasionally, I feel a little down for a few days."
Carter made a joke: "Is it every month?"
"Fak lure!"
"Haha ..."
I was interrupted by Carter, and Eric also eased up, no longer entangled with these small things, and picked up the copy of "Home Alone" script that was placed next to me and continued to read it pastime.
The black Toyota car was quickly driving on the Long Island highway. Eric looked absently at the script in his hand and just figured out some other things. I only heard that car bumped a few times, and stopped in a low click.
"What's wrong?" Eric asked, looking up.
Carter photographed on the steering wheel, turned his head and said: "Anchor, let me take a look."
Eric followed Carter and walked down car.
Carter lifts the hood. A thick smoke spewed out immediately, and Carter waved his hand to disperse the smoke before carefully inspecting it.
Eric squatted insignificantly on the side of the road, drew a cigarette from his pocket and asked, "Carter, will you fix it?"
Carter Moon shook his head gently. Laughed: "Actually, I am better at repairing tanks."
"Okay," Eric smiled and figured out that the lighter was about to ignite. Carter looked up and said, "Boss, we have to push the car to the side of the road."
Eric had to temporarily put away cigarettes and lighters, and the two walked together behind the car, pushing the black Toyota slowly to the side of the road.
Eric hardened himself and laughed with pleasure: "Hey, I am a billionaire. I used to be in a car before, but now I have fallen to the point of personally pushing ..."
Carter is not weak: "Hey, I ’m from the Marine Corps. I used to drive a Black Hawk helicopter, but now I ’m down to the point of driving a Japan ..."
Eric smiled and said: "I suddenly found that you are a good talk show host."
"I ca n’t speak for twenty minutes at a time, let ’s just consider as finished."
The two pushed Toyota car to the side of the road, Carter walked towards the engine again, Eric knew that he could not help, and came to the roadside to squat down again.
Carter checked for a while and looked up and said: "Boss, the problem is not big, but I don't have tools."
Eric stood up and looked around: "Where is this place?"
"The city of Jericho is to the north," Carter looked up.
The two are discussing whether to call the consignment company directly or find some repair tools nearby. A passing white Chevrolet stopped beside the two, and a dark-haired woman with more than 30 raised her head: " Gentlemen, are you in trouble and need help? "
"Yes, ma'am, if you can," Carter stepped forward and Eric also stood up.
The black-haired woman did n’t notice the Eric blocked by the vehicle. After the Eric got up, the woman said, "Are you Eric Williams?"
"Yes, ma'am," Eric reached out to the other party.
The woman has n’t spoken yet. The white Chevrolet rear seat door suddenly opened. A little girl jumped out of the car and came towards Eric with a look of surprise: "Wow, really Eric Williams Oh, Mr. Williams, hello, me Call it Natalie Portman, you can call me Nat. "
The Eric expression was a little weird and allowed the little girl to hold her hand and shake it vigorously until the middle-aged woman opened her mouth to rescue her: "Nat, let go of Mr. Williams, don't be so rude."
"Okay Mama," the girl let go of Eric's hand, but still looked at Eric curiously: "Mr. Williams, are you going to pick Actor in Long Island, what do you think of me?"
"Oh, this, I just passed by ..."
"Then what do you plan to make in the next movie, is there a character suitable for me?" the girl said, and she also made a cute expression.
The girl ’s mother did n’t pay attention to the little girl ’s twitter questions, but instead chatted with Carter and said that she had the necessary tools at home: “Mr. Williams, my home is nearby, maybe Mr. Carter can come back with me A tool. "
"No problem, then trouble you," Eric nodded to the woman.
Since the encounter is Eric, the woman has no worries about the two. She warmly invites Carter to sit on the co-pilot, and then calls her daughter: "Nat, get on the bus, we are going back."
"Mama, you must still come back later, right? Can I stay and chat with Mr. Williams?"
The woman glanced at Eric and Eric nodded quickly: "Relax, lady"
"As long as Mr. Williams doesn't feel troublesome, Nat, don't be too naughty."
"I won't do it," Natalie Portman said immediately, and emptied his eyes Eric. (To be continued.)
