Chapter 117 115 You Are a Rare Purebred Bastard!

Chapter 117 You are a rare purebred bastard!

The time in the crew passed quickly, and it was time to clock out before they knew it.

The extras and staff left one after another, and soon, only Eric, James McAvoy, the Olsen sisters and a few others were left on the scene.

Judy came over and said, "Ashley, Mary, let's go, let's have a meal together, and then I'll take you to see the real life of Lala."

The two sisters looked at Eric, and Eric nodded heavily.

Then they looked at James McAvoy again. The performance of this British boy gave them a big shock today.

Everyone stayed in the same crew, and the age difference was not big. He was still a small supporting role. Looking at their performance today, the Olsen sisters felt ashamed.

Originally, in their hearts, they made such a choice under the pressure of Eric, but now it has some active meaning.

The three of them left side by side, Eric patted Zhan Yimei on the shoulder: "Well done, James."

McAvoy still had some doubts: "Director, am I really that good?"

"Hahaha, of course, you have to believe that you are the best, see you tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Getting in the car, the driver Peter asked: "Boss, where are you going?"

Eric looked at the phone in his hand. He wanted to go to Nicole's place tonight. He hadn't seen her for several days and missed the beautiful girl again.

But going to her house not only requires groping in the dark, but also climbing over the wall, which is really troublesome.

"Peter, should I buy a house?"

"What?"

Chen Xing and Peter looked back at the same time, not understanding why Eric suddenly said this.

"Chen Xing, go to the market these days and look for a house of suitable size. Don't go to Beverly Hills. I need a relatively remote area."

"But don't go to the slums. Safety is still the first consideration."

"The house doesn't have to be very large, and it doesn't have to be a villa. An apartment can also be considered. It can be big enough for three or four people to live in."

Chen Xing wrote down the conditions: "Okay boss."

He and Peter looked at each other. If a rich man suddenly wants to buy a house, it must not be for business.

If it's not for business, what else can it be used for? The two of them already knew it.

A beautiful woman in a golden house, I envy her. I don't know when I can get to this point.

Take out your mobile phone and call Nicole Kidman: "Hi Nicole, what are you doing?"

"Reading the script."

A lazy voice came from the other side, and the sexy rhythm made Eric feel itchy.

But then he realized that something was wrong.

"Hmm? Reading a script? What script? Do you have a new play?"

"Of course, have you forgotten that I am an Oscar winner now? The crews who want to invite the new actress to film have already lined up in the suburbs of Los Angeles, you know?"

"But, aren't you going to film "La Vie en Rose"? We've agreed.

Nico laughed softly: "Then you have to give me the script, at least let me know what role I'm going to play."

"And I'm just reading other people's scripts, but the schedule has been reserved for you. Others can postpone it, but now I have the capital."

Eric laughed: "Honey, I'll ask you tomorrow how the script is perfected. I only gave you an outline, but this kind of art film needs to be detailed, you know."

"Well, to be honest, I don't really want to act in art films. Is there a commercial blockbuster like "Transformers"? I want to be the heroine."

"Haha, with your current achievements, do you still care about commercial art? I remember that the global box office of "The Island" exceeded 200 million US dollars, you don't need to prove anything. "

Nico lazily called out, and her pretty nasal voice could be heard through the phone.

"Eric, it's not for this reason, I just want to break a curse."

"Curse? What curse? A vicious witch has cast a spell on you, so let me, a handsome prince, save you."

"Hahaha, haven't you heard of it? Winning the Best Actress title will make you unlucky for three years."

Eric rolled his eyes, thinking it was something else, but it turned out that he was entangled in this thing.

There is indeed such a gossip circulating in Hollywood, that is, winning an Oscar will make you unlucky for three years.

Whether it is the best actor or the best actress, when you touch the trophy, the curse has quietly entangled you.

After that, you will not only face failure in your career, but in serious cases, it will also affect your marriage and health, which is terrible.

Once, the New York Times even conducted a special survey and statistics, and found that only 2% of Oscar winners can continue their personal success.

Only 2% of them can have a substantial impact on the box office appeal after winning the award, and they have become box office poison. , making jokes, disappearing completely, and other self-degradation accounted for an exaggerated 36%.

Some people say that the momentary luck you get from the Oscars may make you struggle for a lifetime to pay it back.

Anyway, according to the results, it is indeed quite metaphysical. Psychologists analyzed that it is likely that people get carried away after winning the award.

An unstable mentality will naturally lead to a worse vision for film selection, and then it will be a flop. After the flop, you can't recognize yourself and continue to flop.

After many flops, you finally wake up, and then your vision returns, and you soar again.

"Nico, my baby, the curse is just a joke. I have a way to avoid this 100%."

"Hehe, I don't believe it. You are definitely going to make fun of me again."

"No, I'm telling the truth. The solution is to consider my suggestions before taking each film. As long as you adopt my suggestions, I can't guarantee that you can win the award, but I guarantee that you won't become a box office poison."

"Hehe! It's as if you can predict the future."

"Yes, I can."

Nicole snorted: "No more kidding. I want you to come and accompany me tomorrow, and bring the script of "La Vie en Rose".

"Missed me."

After a pause, Nicole said "um" very seriously.

"Okay, see you tomorrow night, love you baby."

"I love you too."

The car drove all the way back to Beverly Hills. Surprisingly, except for his mother and the nanny Lisa preparing dinner, Joshua was actually sitting on the sofa watching TV.

"Wow, look who's back, Joshua, you are such a busy man, you even know you have a family. ”

Joshua shouted at the kitchen with a hoarse voice: "Did you hear me, mom? I said Eric would definitely ridicule me. He doesn't welcome his brother."

"Hey, don't play the victim Joshua. Are you on vacation?"

Joshua sighed: "I guess so. The injured guy is back. He is the player I replaced a few months ago. Now I am pushed down by him. Damn, why didn't this guy break his bones? He recovered so quickly."

Opening the refrigerator and taking out a beer and handing it over, Eric said apologetically: "Sorry, brother, so your chance to play"

"No, that guy guarded me after he came back, as you can see, so I can sit here, and Barry, that bastard, will give me a vacation. Anyway, I will sit on the bench in the team."

Eric sat next to him, hugged him, and the two of them clinked bottles and blew half of it.

"Joshua, there will always be things in the world that make you dissatisfied. It is impossible for everything to go smoothly. You have been training for a long time, and it is not bad to rest for a few days. ”

Joshua spread his hands: "What else? I don't have anything else to do. Not only did I lose the chance to play, but I also said goodbye to those beautiful cheerleaders, as well as the fanatical female fans."

He whispered: "You don't know what those crazy fans can do. I heard that the basketball circle is very chaotic before. That magician Johnson can play a rainbow tactic."

"Do you know what the rainbow tactic is? It's a dozen women of different skin colors, all kinds of colors, so it's called rainbow."

"Since I started, I also understand how happy this tactic is, but it's a pity that there is nothing now, alas!"

Listening to this guy's indecent bragging, Eric said seriously: "Joshua, I advise you to keep yourself clean. Magician Johnson is infected with AIDS. You know it. If you want to play, find a clean one and be moderate."

Joshua sighed and shook his head: "Yes, of course I understand. I only got a two-month experience voucher. I must have a lot of fun before the experience voucher expires. ”

“Eric, to be honest, I was a starter in the school team during college, and I thought I would be a starter in the professional team, but the reality is not what you think.”

“If someone hadn't been injured, I might not even have a chance to play. Do you think I have no talent for football at all?”

This question is difficult to answer. Judging from various performances, this cheap brother of mine is indeed not a very talented athlete.

This is quite similar to the Olsen sisters. They have talent but not much. When the competitive pressure is small, it is not obvious. Once they come to the high score, they immediately expose their shortcomings and fatigue.

Seeing that his brother didn't speak, Joshua shrugged: "Okay, don't worry about it. I understand what you mean. It seems that I am really not suited to this job. Maybe I should consider changing my career while I am young."

“What do you want to do? Any ideas?" Eric asked.

“Not yet. What do you think of actors? Look at our brothers' faces. They are all standard handsome guys. I am not a quarterback, but I can play the rainbow tactics. This face plays a big role. ”

“You want to be an actor? But being an actor is also a job that requires talent. Being handsome is only temporary. In a few years, there will be actors who are more handsome and younger than you. If you want to become an evergreen in the film industry, you need solid acting skills. "

"If you really decide, I can find a professional teacher to train you for a period of time, and then we will see the results. But I also have a suggestion. Didn't you say before that you wanted to be a team manager? Instead of switching to being an actor, you might as well learn some team management knowledge. "

Joshua looked at his brother speechlessly: "That was a joke, did you take it seriously? In my current state, retiring to coach a high school team is most likely the way out in the future. "

"If I'm lucky, I can cultivate one or two ball stars, and they can mention my name when they are interviewed. This is perfect. As for the team manager, hahahahahaha"

"Joshua, I'm not kidding you. Anyway, your contract with the 49ers is still a long time, so don't waste it. Make good use of it. Maybe you will need it in the next few years." Eric said in a very serious tone.

"Well, are you serious? ”

“Yes, things are unpredictable, no one knows what will happen in the future.”

“I know this, the line in Forrest Gump, life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what the next one will taste like.”

"That's it. Maybe in a few years, MGM will become bigger and stronger, and then its tentacles will develop into the field of sports. Culture and sports are inseparable. Generally speaking, they are all related to art."

Joshua folded his hands on his chest, leaned on the sofa with his chin raised, and fell into deep thought. Soon after, he nodded as if he had figured it out.

"Eric, you are right. This is also a good way out, but I don't know if I can learn it."

"What's impossible? Set a goal for yourself. At the finish line, there are countless cheerleaders waving at you. Isn't it full of motivation in an instant?"

Joshua immediately showed a perverted smile: "Oh yeah~~ wonderful scene."

Click!

The door opened and Dad walked in.

"Joshua, why are you back?"

"Of course I came back to visit my beloved dad and mom. I really miss you so much."

Walking over to help his dad hang up his clothes, Joshua hugged him by the way.

Eric nodded: "That's right, this is the kind of communication skills that the manager needs, see if you can do it well!"

After dinner, Eric took a bath in the bathtub to rest. Bathing is really a wonderful thing, which can make people forget their fatigue.

Ring

The phone rang, and I took it and looked at it. It was Elena, the bitch. The two hadn't seen each other for more than a month, and they only talked on the phone occasionally.

"Hi, Elena, good evening."

"No, I'm not fine at all, Eric Cooper."

"What's wrong? From your tone, who made you angry?"

"Whoever I'm calling is the one who made me angry."

"What! You can't just accuse people. We haven't met recently. How could I make you angry?"

"Hehe! You also know that you haven't been to New York for a long time. You bastard, you forgot about me after using me, right?"

Eric coughed dryly a few times: "What are you talking about! Am I that kind of person? Elena, I have always kept you in my heart, but I'm really busy recently. Pay attention to entertainment news and you will understand."

"Of course I pay attention to it. You are busy messing around with Nicole Kidman. Who doesn't know it!"

"Hey! You are wrong to say that. Strictly speaking, the two of us are also messing around! Why scold yourself when scolding others?"

The other side paused for a moment, and there seemed to be a sound of teeth grinding.

"Eric Cooper, you are such a rare purebred bastard! You don't recognize me once you put on your pants!"

After being scolded several times in a row, Eric got angry: "Fuck! Madam, I warn you that you can scold me, but don't scold my seed, otherwise I will show you a bad taste!"

"Come on, then come to New York, you can do whatever you want, I'll be waiting this weekend, don't tell me you are a coward!"

After hanging up the phone, Eric frowned, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have been provoked by this woman.

Alas! When there are too many women, it is also a happy trouble. Should I go or not?

If I don't go, it's okay, anyway, the two of them are more of a joint interest, but if I want to ask Elena for something in the future.

For example, Hasbro, I'm afraid it's not that simple, and the other party will at least give me a cold shoulder.

If I go, I will inevitably be squeezed again, and I don't know what the real purpose of this woman is.

Besides, I have to accompany Nicole tomorrow, and fly to see him the day after tomorrow. It is very likely that Gadot will not let me go on Sunday.

Then forget about working on Monday. Even a young body can't stand this.

After thinking about it, Eric decided to rest early.

Rest and recuperate, prepare for the emergency.

Ring

In his sleep, he didn't know what time it was, and another phone call came, waking Eric up.

He looked at the screen and it was Judy.

Yawning, Eric answered the phone.

"Do you know it's midnight now? I'll deduct your salary for disturbing the boss's sleep!"

Judy's somewhat irritated voice sounded over the other end: "Come and help, these two sisters can't leave!"
