Chapter 181 176 A Shocking Birthday Gift, so What if I Do It in Front of You?

Chapter 177 176. What if this shocking birthday gift is done in front of you?

Theron's birthday party in Beverly Hills.

Eric walked towards Stuart Townsend. Of course, it seemed that the target was not him, but several other people around him.

At this time, Stuart Townsend was chatting with Tobey Maguire and a few people Eric didn't know.

"Hi! Toby, we meet again."

When he heard someone calling his name, Spider-Man, who had not yet evolved into a bully, turned around.

When he saw it was Eric, his face was immediately filled with a smile and he took the initiative to walk over with open arms.

"Hahaha Eric, you came to the party too. I'm so lucky to see you here."

In fact, the two of them are not very close, they have met a few times, chatted at various ceremonies and parties, and have relatively few personal contacts.

It was obvious that Tobey Maguire wanted to build a relationship, and Eric gave him the favor and gave him a gentle hug.

"OMG! No one told me that you would also attend."

Eric smiled slightly: "Theron and I are good friends, and she just finished filming a movie invested by MGM."

"Did you direct it?"

"No, but I guest-starred as a director for a few days, so we have a good relationship. She is a smart and beautiful woman, and this movie will definitely help her win the award."

"Yes, everyone knows Charlize's charm, but first of all, I want to congratulate you. "Get Out" was a box office hit. I went to the cinema to watch it. It was tense and exciting, and the plot is very in-depth. It is a very good work. ”

"The Age of Era is also great. The story is very inspiring and uplifting."

Tobey Maguire waved his hand: "Don't comfort me, big boss. I know the current situation very well. The audience doesn't like this type of movie at all."

"Under the double attack of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Get Out", the ending of failure is already doomed."

"I originally hoped to use this as my transformation work. After all, I can't let the audience think that I can only play Spider-Man, but now it seems that I still need to find new opportunities."

Eric patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "Don't be discouraged. If there is a suitable opportunity, MGM Films will take the initiative to contact you."

"Really? You are the big boss, you can't lie to me, a little actor."

"Hey! Toby, you guys are having so much fun chatting, why don't you introduce him to us?"

Next to them, a man who looked to be in his twenties said, in fact, of course they knew Eric's identity.

There is no chance of meeting such a big man in normal times. Now that I meet him, of course I want to have a relationship like Maguire.

If you are lucky, you may be able to become a royal actor in one glance.

Just like Spielberg and Tom Hanks, the opportunity to rise to fame will come.

Tobey Maguire walked over with Eric.

Before the introduction started, Eric pointed at Stuart Townsend and said: "Bring me a glass of red wine!"

Tobey Maguire hurriedly held his finger: "Eric, he is Stuart Townsend, Charlize's boyfriend, not a waiter."

Eric pretended to look at the other person up and down, and said in a strange tone: "Yes, you have found a very good girlfriend."

None of the people present knew the fact that women were strong and men were weak. What Eric said sounded fine and seemed to be a compliment.

But it always gave people a weird feeling, and Stuart Townsend couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

Several people took the initiative to shake hands with Eric one by one. When it was Stuart Townsend's turn at the end, someone happened to pass by carrying a dinner plate.

Eric took the opportunity to take a glass of red wine from it, saving the latter's hand from awkwardly raising it in mid-air.

It would be rude to take it back, but the other party is at the helm of MGM, so that doesn't mean that you don't give the other party face.

Stuart Townsend could only wait with some embarrassment.

Eric took a sip of his wine glass and pretended to react and looked at the other person: "Sorry Stuart, I almost forgot about you."

Townsend forced a smile: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Cooper."

"I'm also very happy to meet you. Please introduce yourself and let me see what masterpieces you have. Maybe I have a suitable role for you."

"Of course, there's no need for Toby. If you're not the leading actor, I wouldn't dare to look for you."

Maguire immediately shook his head: "Eric, as long as it's your invitation, it doesn't matter if it's a supporting role. I completely obey your orders."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Opposite them, several young actors suddenly became energetic. If this party is not too appropriate today, the pie in the sky will fall.

"Mr. Cooper, I am Shane West. I have starred in the ABC TV series "Renewed". I participated in the supporting role in "The Big Difference" the year before last. Last year, I played the male role in "Memories of First Love". main character."

Eric nodded: "Yes, I know "Memories of First Love". It is a great innocent love movie and it seems to have made a lot of money at the box office."

Shane West grinned and said: "It can't compare with your movie, but it still made some money. I very much hope to participate in MGM's production."

"Well, your appearance is great. I see potential in you. Let me think about whether there are any suitable roles."

"Thank you, please contact me if you have any questions."

After Shane West introduced himself, others began to brag.

Regardless of whether it was true or false, Eric gave positive comments and praised the other person greatly.

When Stuart Townsend came, he certainly hoped to get a chance.

The entertainment industry is like this, a role or a movie can change an actor's life. He really needs a good role, so that he can get rid of the image of a strong woman and a weak man who eats gigolo.

He said with a flattering smile on his face: "Mr. Cooper, I debuted in 1993 and have participated in many works, including Warner, 20th Century Fox, and Universal."

"Including "The Man Who Came In", "The Vampire Queen", "Step by Step Crisis", etc. I have rich acting experience and can be competent for various roles, as long as"

"Wait!"

Eric interrupted the other party before he finished speaking.

"I remember "The Vampire Queen", it was last year's movie."

"Yes."

"Some impression, this movie made Warner lose a lot of money."

"Well, although the box office is not very good, the DVD sales are not bad, in fact, it didn't lose much." Stuart Townsend tried his best to make up for it.

Tobey Maguire chimed in, "I've seen that movie, too. In fact, the reason it didn't sell well at the box office was that the plot was too old-fashioned, but Stuart contributed excellent acting skills."

"Eric, through this play, Stuart's popularity among young women has increased greatly. At least he has lived up to any movie."

Eric nodded gently, "Stuart, you look good. I really have a suitable role in my hand, but I have to test your acting skills."

Stuart Townsend's eyes lit up instantly. It really was a pie in the sky. It seemed that his feeling was wrong. The other party was really a good person.

"No problem, Mr. Cooper. I can audition tomorrow."

"No need for tomorrow. I think we can audition now."

"Now? Here?"

"Yes, MGM intends to shoot a movie similar to Tarzan. The hero is a man who was abandoned in the forest and raised by animals."

"His behavior should have animal characteristics. You have learned to imitate animals."

"Yes, every school will teach this, and of course I will."

Eric motioned to several people to make way: "Come on, imitate it and show me your acting skills."

Stuart Townsend hesitated a little. He felt embarrassed to do so in the public eye.

But he was eager to get the role. That was the male lead of a blockbuster. If he didn't follow Eric's requirements, he might not even be qualified for the audition.

He simply gritted his teeth in his heart. After all, it was a party. It was a time to relax and have fun. It's okay to let go.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated. The animation and movie of Tarzan appeared in his mind. He immediately squatted down and began to imitate the gorilla.

"Wuwu. Ah Ah Yi Yi"

He made a messy noise, jumping back and forth on the floor, and immediately attracted the attention of the people around him.

A group of people surrounded him in the middle, curiously watching Stuart Townsend's strange behavior.

Hahahaha

Suddenly, I don't know who started laughing, and everyone couldn't help laughing.

"Next, Stuart!"

A banana was thrown from behind and hit him on the head, and there was another burst of laughter.

Surrounded by laughter, Stuart Townsend suddenly felt very humiliated. He was simply the biggest fool in the world.

"Damn, what am I doing? Tonight is my girlfriend's birthday party, I was fucking fooled! I was played by this damn Eric Cooper!"

Stuart Townsend, who came to his senses, began to roar in his heart, his head was extremely hot, and his face was red to the roots of his ears.

He hurriedly stood up and pushed through the crowd to leave.

At this time, Theron's voice came from the side.

"What are you doing? Why are you standing in a circle? Did something funny happen?"

Everyone made way, and Eric walked to Stuart Townsend, patted his shoulder and said.

"Your boyfriend just made everyone laugh with his superb acting skills. He is so funny."

Theron smiled and looked at her boyfriend: "Really? No wonder it's so lively."

Stuart Townsend's mouth twitched, but he couldn't laugh at all. He opened his mouth but was embarrassed to explain.

After playing tricks on the other party, Eric didn't want to do too much, so he pulled Theron to look at Sergey's position.

Theron nodded and followed him to a corner.

Behind the two, Stuart Townsend suddenly felt a breath of air gathering in his chest.

At this moment, he had an illusion that he had become a passerby, and this Eric Cooper and Theron were a pair.

"Sorry, Theron. Actually, Stewart was auditioning just now. MGM has a new project. I think he is suitable for the leading role."

"It's a Tarzan-like role, so he imitated the gorilla and made everyone laugh."

"I saw that Stewart's expression was not very happy. I was inconsiderate. Can you apologize to him privately for me?"

Hearing this, Theron immediately looked at Eric gratefully: "Thank you, in fact, it's great that you can come. You are such a good person to let Stewart be the leading actor."

"Don't worry, he won't care. As an actor, this is what he should do."

Eric hummed: "I'm glad you can understand. In fact, it's all for your face. Who makes me like you?"

Theron didn't respond, but smiled shyly.

She was very conflicted. On the one hand, she felt that it was immoral to betray her boyfriend. After all, they just had a quarrel and there was no big conflict.

On the other hand, she was obsessed with Eric's friendship. The sweet taste made her unable to extricate herself, even though she knew that doing so would be unfair to Stuart.

But she still couldn't break up with Eric. Instead, she fell deeper and deeper. Sometimes she thought it would be great if the two of them could have met earlier, and there would be no Stuart.

Eric didn't know what was going on in Theron's mind, so he pointed at Sergei and asked, "How was his conversation with Kate Winslet?"

"Very good. Although your friend was a little nervous at first, she quickly got into the mood."

"Winslet has a very good personality, the kind that likes to have fun. If it suits her taste, she won't refuse."

"Uh, does Winslet have a boyfriend now?"

"Not sure, but she's been divorced for a long time, so maybe, I haven't paid much attention to it."

"It doesn't matter if he has one, Sergei has a wife anyway, but they've been separated for many years, and he's a middle-aged man who urgently needs emotions to fill his heart."

"It's a bit sad to come out and look for love in middle age."

"Yes, I hope we don't wait until middle age to look for love, isn't it better to cherish the present?"

Theron glanced at Eric and naturally understood what he meant.

There were people all around, and she was a little worried that Eric would do something radical again, so Theron turned and walked towards the group of sisters.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was eleven o'clock in the evening. The party was almost over, and everyone began to leave one after another.

Theron walked out of the villa to see everyone off.

Suddenly, there was a series of muffled bangs, and then the sky was dyed colorful.

It was indeed countless fireworks exploding in the air, and the brilliant colors reflected the entire Beverly Hills into colorful shapes.

The fireworks formed patterns, and finally turned into the words "happy birthday".

"OMG! Who set off the fireworks? They are so beautiful!"

"So creative. If someone does this for me, I will definitely fall in love with him."

"Stuart, did you do it? Good job, buddy."

Stuart Townsend was embarrassed and speechless, and then secretly looked at Eric.

At the same time, Theron also secretly looked at Eric, and Eric smiled at her, and everything was self-explanatory.

It cost a lot of money to book the entire mountain. This fireworks show cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

But seeing Theron's eyes that were about to drip with water, it was worth it!

On the other hand, Stuart Townsend's anger was growing stronger and stronger, and he felt that his head had turned into a green grassland.

He clenched his fists and was about to explode.
