Chapter 182 177 Theron Enters the Network (Big Chapter, I Will Take a Day Off Tomorrow)

Chapter 178 Theron enters the network (big chapter, asking for leave tomorrow)

Beverly Hills.

After seeing off their friends and guests, Theron and Stuart Townsend set about picking up the pieces.

Remembering Eric's instructions, she said, "Stuart, what happened tonight is for you to imitate a gorilla."

"Eric noticed that you seemed unhappy and he asked me to say sorry to you."

It was okay not to mention it, but when this matter was brought up, the anger that Stuart Townsend had suppressed all night was instantly ignited.

He looked at his girlfriend with wide eyes: "So why did you apologize for him, and why didn't he say sorry himself? Is it difficult?"

Theron was lowering his head to clean up, and before he noticed that he was already angry, he explained: "There are so many people here, and he is the owner of MGM."

"You know what that means. How could he say sorry in public? People like them value face very much."

"Yes, Eric Cooper values ​​his own face, so my face doesn't matter, right? My dignity should be trampled on the ground, right?"

"Tell me, was it Eric Cooper who asked you to apologize, or was it you who pretended to be kind and decided on your own? Are you helping him explain?"

Feeling that the tone of her boyfriend's words was a little aggressive, Theron raised his head.

"What's wrong with you Stuart? Why do you look a little angry? Of course Eric asked me to do it. He noticed your feelings and wanted to apologize."

"And his starting point is good. How many people can't get him to be the leading actor in a big production. This kind of opportunity may not come to him only a few times in his life."

"And it's just an audition. Isn't that what an actor should do? Besides, no one is laughing at you. Others just treat it as a game."

"You are too sensitive Stuart. Although self-esteem is very important, I don't think this matter has anything to do with self-esteem."

The main reason for the disagreement is that the two people have completely different feelings.

Stuart Townsend was first upset by Eric's somewhat intimate behavior with his girlfriend.

Then he was treated like a waiter, and Eric deliberately ignored him to embarrass him. There were many provocative and teasing words in his words, which seemed to look down on him.

At first, these behaviors made Stuart Townsend very uncomfortable, until he suddenly realized that he was being treated as a fool until that funny audition.

Are there any public auditions? Won't you be disturbed? Don’t the director and producers need to be present?

It all made no sense, and the more he thought about it, the more it seemed like a joke.

What's more important is that women have been strong and men are weak for a long time, and his career has not improved. The criticism from the media and Theron fans has long suppressed him.

Over time, this kind of depression turns into low self-esteem, and the more inferior one is, the more one's self-esteem explodes.

On the other hand, Theron had a special relationship with Eric, but Eric took the initiative to apologize and expressed his willingness to let him be the leading actor for his own sake.

How can such behavior be a bad person? He is obviously a very good person!

Besides, who is he and who are you, Eric is willing to condescend to apologize to you, what else do you want?

Although this operation is indeed a bit teasing, Theron is now a fan of the authorities and has been hooked by Eric for a long time, so he does not realize this.

And seeing his girlfriend still talking to each other, Stewart's anger became even more intense.

He walked up to Theron in a few steps and yelled: "What's wrong with you? You are my girlfriend? Why are you speaking for that guy?"

"I didn't speak for him, I just conveyed his apology to you. You've always been very sensitive lately, calm down Stuart." Theron hurriedly explained.

"Okay, then tell me, you two are always hiding in the corner and whispering. What the hell are you doing? Is there anything you can't say openly?"

Theron sighed: "So you mind this. Eric brought a friend over tonight. This person admires Kate Winslet very much."

"So he wanted me to help, so I invited Winslet. Do you want me to publicize the matter loudly?"

"That's all?" Stuart Townsend obviously didn't believe it.

"That's right, that's all."

"Come on Theron, do you think you can deceive my eyes? During this period of time, you have been hot and cold towards me, and you no longer care as much as you did before."

"I'm not a fool. I can feel that your heart is moving away from me. What prompted you to change?"

"It's The Devil Wears Prada. It's been going on since you took on the show. Eric Cooper is an investor. Everything is clear."

"He was willing to invest because he was interested in you, and you didn't resist the temptation. Go for the Oscar and listen to what that guy said to the media."

"I did not do this fireworks show. I also asked your family and some friends, but no one admitted it. So the question is, who booked the entire mountain to celebrate your birthday?"

"Such a big deal, I'm afraid it will make the entertainment headlines tomorrow. Just to make you laugh, the MGM tycoon booked a fireworks display in Beverly Hills. It's so romantic, hahahaha."

Stuart Townsend roared like a machine cannon, his face turned ferocious.

Listening to his anger, Theron suddenly felt a little regretful. Maybe he was really wrong and lost.

She should never have accepted Eric's dinner invitation in the first place, nor should she and her boyfriend have gotten into this situation.

She whispered, "Stuart, calm down. I'm sorry. I ignored your feelings during this period. I'm really sorry."

"I will never meet Eric Cooper privately again. Is that okay?"

The two looked at each other for a while, and Stuart Townsend panted: "No, if you really want to live a good life with me, let's move to Irving. This villa can be kept or sold."

"Refuse the movie "Inception". I know Eric Cooper must be the director. You will stay together for at least two months. I can't not allow this to happen."

"And the movie "Monster". You can continue to participate in the subsequent promotion, but if Eric Cooper will also participate, then I hope you refuse to attend."

The more he said, the tighter Theron frowned.

"Stuart, what do you think of me? Your vassal?"

"I signed a contract, do you understand? What do you think of my career?"

"Or do you want to turn me into a little woman by your side, so that you can look taller?"

"I know that the media's comments make you feel uncomfortable, but I'm already accommodating you, so you should accommodate me too."

"And do you know that I have to pay a large sum of money for breach of contract? How will my peers look at me? Will anyone still ask me to make a movie?"

Becoming more uncomfortable with Theron's question, Stuart Townsend suddenly picked up a stack of plates and threw them to the ground.

Crash!

The broken ceramics splashed all over the floor, and Theron screamed and retreated in fear.

"Enough! Is it for money? Because I have no money and my career is not as good as yours, so you think I am not worthy of you?"

Looking at her boyfriend's hysterical look, Theron suddenly felt a little wronged.

"Stuart, how can you look at me like this! Do you think I am a vain woman?"

"If so, would I have chosen to be with you? Do you think there are no other men chasing me?"

"In the past year, I didn't even wear high heels when I was with you. What else do you want from me?"

But Stuart Townsend couldn't listen to what she was saying. Instead, he seized the loophole and shouted, "Wait, shut up!"

"You just said that there are other men chasing you, Eric Cooper, that guy, right?"

"How long have you been hooking up behind my back? How many times have you been to the hotel?"

"Sorry! I forgot that there is no need for a hotel at all. Maybe it's OK to be on the set. Didn't he guest-star as a director?"

"Have you been played by him?"

While shouting, the man rushed over and grabbed Charlize Theron's shoulders and shook them wildly, his eyes bloodshot, like a ferocious beast.

"Tell me! Tell me! Tell me now!"

"Ah"

Theron was thrown onto the sofa, and a look of horror appeared in her eyes as she watched Stuart Townsend continue to rush over.

She would never forget this scene, which was repeated over and over in her childhood until her mother pulled the trigger.

Bang!

At this moment, a gunshot brought Stuart Townsend to a standstill.

"Stop! Stay away from her!"

The family's maid, Henta, pointed a gun at Stuart Townsend, and hid when she found that the two were arguing.

Although she had served Theron for nearly ten years, this kind of scene was not something she, a servant, should participate in after all.

But she soon realized that something was wrong, and the argument had turned into domestic violence.

As a woman, she knew she had to take action.

Facing the black muzzle of the gun, Stuart Townsend raised his hand in fear: "Henta, don't shoot, I'm just too excited."

As he said this, he wanted to pull Theron, who subconsciously dodged and fled behind Henta.

"Get out! Leave here immediately!"

"Theron, I was just excited for a moment, I..."

"She told you to get out, don't you understand?" Henta said viciously with a gun.

"Okay, okay, I'll leave now, and we'll talk after we calm down."

Seeing the people leave, Henta turned off the safety and comforted: "Poor child, although I shouldn't say it, it seems that he is not suitable for you."

Theron sat on the ground disappointedly, covering her face with her hands

After a while, she said softly: "Henta, you go home first, I want to be quiet for a while."

"Okay, this thing is left for you, protect yourself!"

Beverly Hills, Cooper's house.

Eric hummed in his mouth and wrote down words on the paper.

These words are connected together and turned into popular songs.

Since he has established a record company with Michael, he can't be a hands-off boss. He quickly searched for the melodies in his mind and wrote down the popular songs in his memory.

As a post-90s, his deepest impression is the ten years after the millennium, which is only twelve or thirteen years at most.

During this period, Chinese pop music reached its peak, and a large number of excellent singers emerged.

Jay Chou, Xu Song, Xin, Hu Yanbin, Angela Chang, Cyndi Wang, Eason Chan, etc., created many popular songs.

Unfortunately, after the peak, it fell infinitely, and 20 years later, it was so bad that it could not be worse.

During this period, English songs also poured into China, as if the country's door was suddenly opened.

Almost every one or two months, there would be golden songs spread in the streets and alleys.

The reason why there were fewer later was largely because the era of paid music had arrived, and many domestic platforms could no longer be free.

And the one who opened this era was, of course, the most popular female singer more than a decade later, the well-deserved global queen Taylor Swift.

In that era, thanks to hair salons, skating rinks, QQ Speed, Audition and other channels, too many young people could sing a few lines or sing the full version in KTV following the melody and lyrics.

For example, Beckham's exclusive music, Kelly Clarkson's "Because of You".

There is also Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger" and Zhang Jie's representative work "Reverse War", which many people questioned as plagiarism.

The inspiring inspirational divine song "Be What You Wanna Be", and the ethereal divine song "Burning" from Norway that Eric often listened to in his bed.

Avril's explosive song "Innocence", also belongs to Avril, and the divine song "Girlfriend" that she appeared on If You Are the One.

When Eric entered society and went to nightclubs, he often heard "Yeah".

"Lonely" from Ghana, the representative song of lovers' reunion "Free Loop"

After the lovers reunited, they were going to get married, so they naturally had to listen to "Sugar" by Maroon 5.

There are songs that symbolize the love of lovers reuniting, and of course there is "Just One Last Dance" that describes the heartbreak of a breakup.

After the breakup, you should regret and apologize, and then sing "Apologize".

After the apology, everyone should cry on each other's shoulders, and then sing a duet of men and women, "Cry on My Shoulder".

Of course, we can't forget Lady Gaga's representative divine song "Poker Face" and the song "Trouble is a Friend".

There is also "See You Again" in memory of Paul Walker, which became popular all over the world with "Fast and Furious", or the movie was inspired by the song.

You don't know until you sing it. Eric always thought that he didn't have much in his head.

But when he really sang it, he found that those memories seemed to be activated. It turned out that I could sing so many classic divine songs.

The ability to sing here does not mean that every word is correct. He can remember the climax 100%, but he still can't remember some of the other parts.

But it doesn't matter, because he remembers the melody very clearly, and he only needs to add the lyrics.

Then just keep changing the words and try to find the rhyme. In fact, it is a bit like Chinese ancient poetry.

At worst, you can find a professional to revise it. I think it will be a hit if you show it to me.

Looking at the "stronger" that he completed on the paper, Eric slapped his head and laughed: "The genius is me!"

Looking at the time, it was past midnight. I thought about finding another song and going to bed, but the phone screen suddenly lit up.

Ring

Seeing that it was a call from Charlize Theron, Eric answered without hesitation.

"Charlize Theron, why are you calling at this time? What's the matter?"

Faced with the inquiry, the other end of the phone was indeed silent.

"Charlize Theron, are you okay? Why don't you talk?"

After waiting for a while, there was still no sound, and only intermittent breathing could be heard.

Eric was a little strange and a little worried. He called in the middle of the night without talking, so something must have happened.

Thinking of this, he didn't delay any more and went downstairs to change his clothes.

"Theron, wait a minute, I'll be there soon."

This time Theron finally responded, a gentle "hmm".

Beverly Hills is actually not big, and Eric arrived at his destination ten minutes after the car started.

He wanted to knock on the door, but the door opened by itself as soon as his hand touched it.

Eric went in and noticed that it was pitch black inside, and there was no light on.

Mobile phones now have not yet developed a flashlight function, and Eric didn't know where the light switch was, but the dark environment made him a little worried, so he hurried inside.

As a result, he heard a squeaking friction sound, and he obviously stepped on something hard.

Squatting down, Eric saw that it was pieces of plate fragments.

He had a bad premonition in his mind, and hurriedly stood up to call for help, but heard a low sob.

And Eric's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness. With the dim moonlight, he vaguely saw a figure sitting in the darkness at the corner of the stairs.

"Theron, are you there?"

Eric asked as he approached. He walked up the stairs and got closer, and finally saw more clearly.

A woman was curled up alone in a corner, with her back against the wall, her hands hugging her legs, and her head buried between her legs.

Her golden hair was drooping, completely covering her face.

Looking at Theron's appearance, Eric didn't know what happened, but he was sure that she must be very sad at the moment.

Without saying anything, he also sat down gently against the wall, and just accompanied the other person quietly.

In the darkness, only the breathing of both parties could be heard.

After an unknown amount of time, Eric suddenly felt a little heavier on his body, and Theron had already leaned on his shoulder.

Reaching out to hold the other person in his arms, Theron also hugged him. This was the first time she took the initiative to hug Eric tightly.

"Are you feeling better? What happened?"

Theron shook her head gently: "It doesn't matter. I'm a little tired. Can you carry me to the bedroom?"

"Of course."

Without much effort, Eric picked her up like a princess. It had only been a short time since the filming of "Monster" was finished, and Theron had already lost weight.

With the experience from last time, Eric carried Theron to the bedroom with ease and gently put her on the bed.

Theron looked at Eric with eyes like gems, which could be seen even in the dark.

"Come up, lie with me for a while, I'm a little scared."

"Scared? Did Stuart Townsend do something? There are fragments on the ground. Did he bully you?"

"Eric, I said it doesn't matter. I don't want to mention a stranger anymore. He is nothing to me now."

Theron grabbed Eric's hand and pulled him to the bed, and the two lay together.

"Eric, hold me, I feel so sleepy."

"Well, good night then."

After kissing Theron's forehead, Eric held her tightly in his arms, and the two slept in their clothes.

When she opened her eyes again, the sun was already shining on her butt.

Yawning, she looked down at Theron, she was still asleep.

Eric smiled at first. He found that he seemed to have won Theron without knowing it. Of course, it was mainly due to several months of hard work and preparation.

Then he frowned again. Although he had slept in the same bed, he was still wearing clothes. How could he be considered to have won her?

Body and soul, I want them all!

Suddenly, Stuart Townsend came to mind.

"Damn, although I don't know what happened, it must be this guy who did it."

"In theory, I should thank you for being stupid and letting Theron see your true face and make the right choice."

"But emotionally, if you touch my woman, how can you survive in the future if I don't teach you a lesson?"

While thinking, Theron snorted softly, and then opened his eyes. His dazed look was lovely and sexy.

"Eric, have you been awake for a long time?"

"Yeah, it's been a while."

"Then what are you doing?"

"Nothing, just looking at you."

"What are you looking at me for?"

"Because you're pretty."

Theron laughed unconsciously: "Eric, it feels so good to see you and hear your voice when I wake up."

"Are you inviting me to stay here?" Eric helped her smooth out her messy hair.

"No, it's too messy here, I have to clean it up, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to live here."

Hearing this, Eric had an idea: "If you feel uncomfortable, how about I take you to a good place?"

"Now? But I want to take a shower first. You can smell me and I smell stinky. This feeling is very uncomfortable."

"Just bear with it for a while. It's not too late to take a shower when we get there."

"What? Wait, where are you taking me? Beach? Bathhouse? Water park?"

Eric turned over and got out of bed, suddenly hugged her up.

Theron screamed and could only hug his neck to ensure her safety. In fact, there was no need, because Eric held her hips tightly and she couldn't fall.

Being held in Eric's arms, Theron felt relieved.

"Is this the feeling of having someone to rely on? It can make me no longer have to be a little woman, so that I don't have to deliberately please others, and let me wear the clothes and shoes I like."

"Why do I have to love so humbly? Am I a fool?"

Arriving in the car, Theron thought a lot in the short distance. Suddenly she looked at the handsome and considerate man in the driving seat.

"Eric, why didn't I meet you earlier?"

Eric smiled: "It's not too late now, let's go."

The car started and soon arrived at the boulevard. The two disguised themselves and walked into an apartment.

Eric bought three houses some time ago. One has been given to Nicole, and the second one is for Theron, so that the two can date in the future.

Click!

Open the door and enter. This place has been renovated and decorated into a warm little home.

"Eric, is this your house?"

"No, it's our house."

Speaking of this, Eric took out a key from the drawer, pried open Theron's hand, and solemnly placed it in his palm.

This time, without hesitation or resistance, Theron decisively put the key into her bag.

"So, am I the mistress here from now on?"

"Yes, now I'm going to take a shower with its mistress."

Since the relationship has been confirmed, Theron is no longer reserved, and in a few seconds, the two have been frank with each other.

Swish, swish

The shower is turned on, and warm water sprinkles on the body, adding fuel to the already passionate emotions.

In Eric's heart, if there is a ranking of beauties, Theron is definitely qualified to be the world's number one.

Her face is like God's graduation work, and every angle is flawless.

Even the most picky people have to admit that her beauty is breathtaking, like the oldest wine, which makes people linger and get drunk.

And looking at the beauty he has been pursuing for a long time, the feeling of conquest instantly filled Eric's heart.

Toot toot toot

The charge has been sounded.

The cavalry company charged, and the Italian guns fired wildly.

The water cube was dotted with waves, and the bird's nest was carved up and down.

The strings were plucked and twisted slowly, and then plucked again, first for the colorful clothes and then for the six.

The big strings were noisy like heavy rain, and the small strings were whispering.

The loud and soft strings were mixed, and the big and small pearls fell on the jade plate.

The warbler's song was slippery under the flowers, and the gurgling spring was difficult to flow under the ice.

The silver bottle suddenly broke and water splashed out, and the iron cavalry rushed out with swords and guns.

There was a hidden sorrow and hatred, and silence was better than words at this time.

The fierce battle lasted for nearly two hours, and then the clouds and rain stopped.

Both of them were exhausted and collapsed on the ground, leaving only the rushing water filling the surroundings.
