Chapter 156 153 Tango at the Moulin Rouge

Chapter 156 Tango at the Moulin Rouge

Late at night, the crisp silver bells tinkled in the bedroom.

Nicole's face was red and she was completely naked.

She only wore bracelets and anklets, the beautiful navel ring hanging on her lower abdomen, and the concentric knot necklace that Eric gave her when he returned from China.

Her body danced with the singing, and the background music was her famous work "Moulin Rouge".

Under the dim and ambiguous light, the trinkets sparkled with the ringing of the bell.

The gentle dance movements are drawn on her smooth body, which is faintly visible and beautiful.

Suddenly, Nicole walked up to Eric with dancing steps, stretched out her slender thighs, and lightly touched Eric's chin with her toes painted with red nail polish.

Eric's eyes fell on the opening and closing between his legs, which was already slightly moist.

Nicole's eyes were as charming as silk, and her breath was like orchid: "My love, would you like to dance with me?"

Eric kissed her gently on the instep, grabbed her thigh with one hand, stood up suddenly, and had already wrapped his other hand around Nicole's slender waist.

His eyes flashed in the dim light, full of desire and power.

"As you wish, my beauty, let us dance that classic tango!"

Nicole's fingers were slightly on the back of her head, as if the Milky Way had fallen into the sky, and her long hair was falling down like a waterfall.

At the same time, the opera on the gramophone played the classic "El Tango de Roxanne".

"Roseanne, why does my heart weep?"

"Roxanne, I feel like I have no strength in my body."

"Roxanne, you can leave me!"

"But don't be hypocritical!"

Accompanied by passionate singing, Eric and Nicole danced the famous tango dance.

Nicole seemed to have returned to "Moulin Rouge", her eyes became sharp and melancholy, and her movements were soft and contained power.

One of her legs was hooked around Eric's waist, her hands brushed across his chest, and then inserted into his shirt, her arms like snakes swimming around.

Eric felt the soft and flexible movement on the surface of his skin, and the white shirt he was wearing had disappeared.

Her lips kissed Nico's neck, and the woman raised her head high, like a beautiful swan.

In the gramophone, the majestic opera becomes more passionate.

"Roxanne, please believe in my sincerity."

"When I say I love you!"

"Even if I endure all the hardships, I will love you until death!"

"Until death comes!"

The passionate kiss separated, and the confused footsteps trampled.

Nicole leaned back against Eric, her delicate skin rubbing against the other's solid chest.

Eric's hands wandered over her body, sometimes over the mountain peaks, sometimes over the deep hills.

The feeling of intoxication evaporates with the music, as if the air is scattered with aphrodisiac messages.

"oh"

A faint whisper, just like the silent way she expresses her love in the movie.

Nicole raised one leg slightly, tilted her head back to look at Eric's chin, and put her hands around his waist. Their bodies inadvertently created the most beautiful posture.

Her jewel-like eyes seemed to steal Eric's heart away.

In the morning, Eric gently played with the small ornament on Nicole's belly button, while she lay on his body lazily like a kitten.

Slowly opening her eyes, Eric kissed her forehead: "You woke up a little early today, my dear."

After yawning, Nicole said complainingly: "If you didn't touch me, I could sleep longer."

Looking down at the hickeys on her body, she pointed to her neck: "Is there one here?"

"Well, a little bit, but you can say that you were scratched by a cat. Don't you have a cat named Kitty at home?"

"Can cat scratches and hickeys be the same? You don't know how sharp those paparazzi's eyes are. It seems I need to hide at home."

"By the way, what's going on between you and James Murdoch? I felt like there was something unpleasant between you last night."

Eric briefly explained the matter, and Nicole couldn't help but said angrily: "This guy has gone too far. With 50% of the shares, his appetite is also huge."

"Nicole, are you familiar with James Murdoch?"

Nicole shook her head slightly: "Not acquaintance, just acquaintance. In fact, I have a better relationship with his sister Elizabeth Murdoch and brother Lachlan Murdoch. I didn't expect him to come to the party. "

"So what kind of person is this James? What is his personality? What are his abilities? Do you understand him?"

Nicole thought for a while: "I probably know something. Elizabeth once complained to me about her two younger brothers. All three of them were born to Murdoch's second wife Anna."

"My elder brother Lachlan has a more conservative personality, while my younger brother James has a more radical personality. Did you know? He refused journalism related to the family business and instead chose film history at Harvard University."

"But in order to show his personality and ability, and to leave his father's control, he dropped out of Harvard to pursue hip-hop music. Can you imagine how weird this is?"

Eric sneered when he heard hip-hop. He had no interest in hip-hop to begin with, and Eminem made him hate this genre of music.

"Later, his hip-hop company was acquired by his father Murdoch, and James returned to work in the group. Facts have proved that he has not proved anything, only proved that he is a rebellious child."

"So I'm not surprised that he dared to ask you for half of the shares directly. This person has this kind of personality."

"Isn't this James the president of Asia Star TV? I heard that he has made Star TV very successful, so his ability should be quite good." Eric said.

"Then I don't know. I just heard it, but everyone knows that there is disharmony within the Murdoch family."

"This old man has been married for the third time. His current wife Wendi Deng has a bad relationship with Anna's three children."

"It's strange that it can be good when it comes to the power struggle within the group and the distribution of Murdoch's property!" Eric said.

"Yes, and even the relationship between the three sisters is not harmonious. The eldest brother Lachlan follows Murdoch's path and is determined to develop the newspaper news business."

"And this James, his personality determines that he will not like the newspaper industry, so he hopes that the group will focus its business center on the film and entertainment business."

"Eric, I think competing with you is probably a decision made by James Murdoch alone, and the old Murdoch may not approve of him."

Eric turned over and lay on the bed. Nicole sat on his waist and rubbed his shoulders and back with her palms. She knew that her man was struggling.

"Dear, do you need me to mediate? Competition is never a good thing. The two movies know to avoid each other."

The big hand gently wandered on the smooth skin. Enjoying the massage of the Oscar-winning actress, Eric's skin was comfortable.

"No, don't get involved. He can come whenever he wants, even with his father Murdoch."

"I have no shortage of funds. At least it is not a problem to support Facebook's operation at present. Although public opinion will have a certain influence on the public."

"But the source of influence is still the quality of Facebook itself. As long as Facebook itself does not have problems and always maintains its advantages, the public will know how to choose."

"It is human nature to pursue excellence. No one likes to use bad ones when there are good ones, just like everyone likes to watch good movies."

"What about "Sharknado"?" Neeko asked jokingly.

"Uh, don't interrupt, be careful I will spank you!"

"In fact, the only thing I am worried about is that he will trip up politics. If some departments are mobilized to use their power to restrict Facebook, it will be a trouble."

"In short, let's take it one step at a time. In normal business competition, I can crush him to death!"

It is Monday, and the box office results of "The Purge" in the third week have been released.

Compared with the second week, the box office continued to fall by 48%, earning $14 million, and the total box office in North America reached $86 million.

According to this trend, if the large-scale reaction lasts for another week, half of the cinemas will take the film off the screen, and the remaining eight or nine hundred cinemas will continue to show it.

When the fifth week is over, the large-scale screening will be completely over, and the box office potential will be almost exhausted.

At that time, "Pirates of the Caribbean" will also be on the summer season.

The leader in North America is still "Finding Nemo". After Nemo won $65 million in the first week, he continued to win $49 million in the second week.

The box office decline trend is only 25%, which is far lower than the halving of ordinary movies. It can be seen that excellent G-rated animations are extraordinary.

As a distribution company, Mickey Mouse will make a lot of money again this time.

In terms of global box office, "The Purge" has been released in Spain, Russia, Switzerland and other European countries, and has also been released in India. Now only Japan, a relatively large overseas box office, is still waiting.

The global box office has also increased by $8.3 million, and the total overseas box office has reached $31 million. The global cumulative box office is currently $1.7 billion.

For this kind of low-cost thriller, it is already a very good result.

In the MGM building, Eric stood in the lobby on the first floor in person. This time, he was going to welcome guests from the Ministry of Defense.

At that time, he only spent 10 million US dollars to obtain the cooperation permission of the Ministry of Defense. Today is the time to inspect the goods.

The inspector must be served well, otherwise the original schedule may have to be changed.

As a Hummer came to the front of the building, three men in military uniforms got out of the car. Among the three, Eric only knew Lieutenant Colonel Freeman.

He smiled and shook hands with the other party, and Lieutenant Colonel Freeman introduced the two parties.

"Eric, this is Major General Gainholtz, Deputy Chief of Staff of Logistics Engineering and Defense, and this is Colonel Angela Winchester, Chief of Staff of Intelligence Reconnaissance and Surveillance."

Eric shook hands with each of them. The former had rough palms and should have experienced military training.

The latter had relatively delicate palms and was probably promoted from a civilian position.

According to what Lieutenant Colonel Freeman said at the beginning, the end of the average person in the US military is colonel, and those who can go further almost all have complicated relationships behind them. The two people in front of him should also be of this type.

The three of them were invited to the company's internal cinema, where my father was waiting. Everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while.

"Mr. Cooper, don't waste time. Let's start quickly. I have something to deal with at noon."

Eric nodded: "Okay."

On the big screen, the movie officially started, without a title, and went straight into the main film.

The movie is still a preliminary version, the special effects are not complete, the Transformers are not vivid, and some places are blurry.

During the screening, Eric looked at the Ministry of Defense from time to time, only to see the other party's expression frowning and nodding, which made people confused.

Two hours later, with the end of the city war, Megatron was killed, and the Decepticons died or fled.

"That's enough, let's stop here." Major General Gainholtz said.

Eric gestured, the big screen turned off, and the lights came on again.

"Major General Hotz, what do you think? Let's go to the conference room to talk." Dad suggested.

Looking at the time, Major General Hotz wanted to talk on the spot, but Eric immediately winked at him.

Next to him, Lieutenant Colonel Freeman advised: "General, the conference room is quiet with few people. It's not bad to change the environment after watching the explosion for a long time."

Hearing the words "quiet", Major General Hotz looked at Lieutenant Colonel Freeman meaningfully: "Okay, let's go to the conference room."

In the conference room, irrelevant people were cleared out. This was a closed-door meeting.

It didn't take long. Half an hour later, a group of people walked out of the conference room laughing.

Major General Hotz said, "Eric, although I don't know how to make movies, I know that young directors like you are rare."

"Transformers" is very well made, especially showing the determination and courage of our army to defend the people and the country without fear of powerful enemies."

"Angela, after returning, write a report to the Ministry of Defense and report the results of our discussion. In principle, I am satisfied with the quality of the movie."

"Okay, it's getting late, I have to go back for a meeting."

My father immediately grabbed the other's hand: "Major General Hotz, it's almost noon, and you can't go to the meeting on an empty stomach."

"I have prepared lunch. MGM will make a sequel to Transformers in the future, and I still need your help."

Major General Hotz pretended to be reserved for a while, and then stayed at the instigation of Lieutenant Colonel Freeman. It was just an excuse to hold a fart meeting.

Even if it was a real meeting, it would still be held without him. Now there are real benefits to be gained, and it is too easy to distinguish which is more important.

A moment later, two cars left the MGM building one after another.

By the time the people from the Ministry of Defense were sent away, it was already past four in the afternoon.

Eric and his father were both drunk.

Damn, these military men are really fierce, just like those in China, the higher the rank, the more they can drink.

At first, everyone was a little reserved, but when the hostesses came up, after three or two drinks, they completely opened up and danced wildly.

It was actually just past two o'clock when the meal was over, and everyone knew what they did in the next two hours.

In the end, the three of them had a good meal, had fun, and drank well, and each of them left with a sum of money.

As for Eric, he disdained to play with these high-class prostitutes. The women around him were of high quality, so naturally he looked down on those mediocre women.
