Chapter 92 90 Containment and Overestimation

Chapter 92 Containment and Overestimation

In front of the MGM building, a large number of reporters seemed to appear out of thin air and surrounded several people.

Volvo hurriedly called security, but reporters are not hooligans, and interviews are not considered troublemaking. Coercive measures cannot be used, otherwise MGM is guaranteed to face public criticism.

The security guard could only struggle to push through the crowd, trying to rescue his boss first.

"Mr. Cooper, are you in a relationship with Nicole Kidman?"

"Mr. Cooper, someone photographed you leaving Nicole Kidman's villa in the evening yesterday. Is this true?"

"Mr. Eric, is the car in this photo yours?"

"Eric Cooper, you and Nicole Kidman have been together for a long time, so they will save the beauty on Oscar night."

"Mr. Cooper, Nicole Kidman kissed you at the Vanity Fair party. Did she take the initiative to invite you to spend the night as a way for you to celebrate her winning the Oscar for Best Actress, right?"

Faced with the siege of these crazy paparazzi, Eric was confused for a moment. Looking at the Lamborghini that had just left the villa in the photo, who could it be if it wasn't him?

It turned out that after he left yesterday, the paparazzi had already started investigating the owner of the Lamborghini.

As of this morning, the results have come out, and the car is naturally his.

The matter spread without knowing why, so the current situation emerged.

I'm afraid not only him, but Nicole Kidman was also besieged by the paparazzi.

By this afternoon at the latest, the news will definitely be all over the Internet, and the print media will be rushing to report it early tomorrow morning.

Eric pushed away the microphone in front of him and wanted to leave but couldn't.

"What's going on, these guys, have I been secretly photographed?"

He looked around at his father and the Big Three of DreamWorks. The four of them were not young and strong young men like him. How could they withstand such physical contact.

Seeing that Spielberg's glasses were about to be squeezed out, Eric could only shout loudly: "Stop! Stop! Everyone, stop!"

"I will answer your questions, but please make way for me and don't continue to block the area. An accident will happen."

After receiving Eric's promise, the reporters slowly let go and made way.

Spielberg adjusted his glasses, looked at Eric with some surprise and said, "Young man, you are really so popular."

Jeffrey Katzenberg gave Eric an envious look, seeming to say that you are so lucky to have hooked up with Nicole Kidman.

As a gay man, David Geffen quietly gave a thumbs up behind his back and exclaimed: "It's great to be young.

After waving their hands, the three old guys left in the car.

Eric looked at his father, who quickly took a few steps away.

Charlie Cooper thought to himself: "Son, please be happy this time. You can do whatever you want, as long as you don't let your mother know. But now it seems that you can't hide it anymore. I won't go into this muddy water." "

Seeing that reporters were about to surround him again, Eric waved his hand to signal them not to worry.

Taking a deep breath and organizing the words in his mind, he said calmly: "I know what you want to ask. My answer is no. Nicole Kidman and I are not in a relationship, and I am not in her relationship." Overnight at the villa.”

"Mr. Eric, since you said no, how do you explain these photos?" a reporter asked loudly.

Eric smiled and continued in a calm tone: "Interesting question. In fact, even if this matter has not been photographed, MGM will announce it soon."

"The real situation is that MGM has a new movie to make, but the heroine has not been decided yet."

"And at the Oscars, I suddenly realized, isn't Nicole exactly the person I'm looking for?"

"So we talked about it at the Vanity Fair party and agreed to meet up to discuss it in detail."

"Then why did the meeting take place at Nicole Kidman's villa? Shouldn't it be in a public place like a company or a cafe?" Another reporter asked.

"Ha ha ha ha"

Eric laughed a few times: "Does it matter where you choose to read the script? As far as I know, many stars read the script at home. Why don't you ask them?"

"Besides, if you're in a cafe, you'll always meet fans when you come and go, so how can you study the plot with peace of mind?"

Charlie Cooper nodded secretly. This answer was very reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Mr. Eric, why did you go to Nicole Kidman's villa alone? Why didn't you take the screenwriter with you?" the reporter asked again.

"Because I am the screenwriter, so I alone am enough. Well, the matter has been made clear, and that's it for today."

After Eric finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the MGM building. Of course, the reporters refused to let him go and immediately swarmed him.

The security guard immediately rushed over to protect his boss.

"Mr. Cooper, please answer the last question. Are you saying that you are not only a producer and director, but also a screenwriter? So what type of movie is it? What is its name? I think everyone is very interested in the Oscars. The actress’s next movie choice.”

The reporters from the Independent newspaper asked loudly and asked questions. They would not be satisfied without uncovering the scandal between Eric and Nicole Kidman.

Looking at this group of blood-sucking leeches, Eric's face became serious: "Okay, then I will answer the last question, but after answering, I ask you to report fairly. I don't want there to be deliberate smearing, otherwise MGM will sue your remarks and the newspaper behind you for accountability."

"The name of this movie is "La Vie en Rose", a biographical film that tells the legendary life of French chanson singer Edith Piaf."

Eric blurted out a movie, not only the reporter in front of him was stunned, even the father behind him was confused, and kept thinking in his mind whether the company had this project?

Although he handed over all the production rights to Eric, not intervening does not mean that he is not clear, especially inviting an Oscar-winning actress to star, the cost must be high, and it must go through his hands.

Eric turned around and left after he finished speaking. Since he was surrounded, he has been thinking about what excuse to use to get out. After thinking about it, it seems that a director going to a female star's house has only the option of reading the script.

Fortunately, he was not caught late at night, otherwise the luminous script really fooled the public as fools?

His brain was working fast, trying to select the right movie. The first thing that came to his mind was "The Devil Wears Prada", and it was appropriate to let Nicole replace Meryl Streep.

But in a blink of an eye, he realized that this movie was adapted from a novel. It was a movie in 2006, and the novel must have been published a long time ago, and it was likely that the copyright had been bought.

If he said that MGM was going to do this project, his lie would be exposed in a minute.

Then he thought of "Lucy", but it always felt a little wrong to let Nicole replace Scarlett Johansson.

Nicole Kidman's temperament is high and cold, and she has a very generous look, which is suitable for aristocratic superiors, and it is not suitable for science fiction movies like "Lucy".

The third one that came to his mind was "La Vie en Rose", a literary film, and the style of this film is more suitable for Nicole.

Moreover, the movie won the Berlin Golden Bear, Golden Globe, and Oscar double actress in one fell swoop, and also won various other awards.

More importantly, the box office is not bad, it is definitely a rare commercial literary film, which is just right to be used as a shield.

Back in the office, my dad asked, "You didn't go home after the Oscars. Did you really spend the night at Nicole Kidman's villa?"

"Of course not, Dad, why are you accusing me like those gossip reporters? I'm your son."

Charlie Cooper slapped his forehead and said, "Okay, it seems to be true."

""

"And the "La Vie en Rose" you mentioned, why haven't I heard of it? Is it also a lie?"

"It will happen, it will happen soon."

Ring

At this time, the phone rang, and Eric picked it up and saw that it was indeed Nicole Kidman.

He looked at his dad and motioned for him to go out first.

Dad shrugged: "Eric, remember to prepare a set of words to deal with your mother in advance. I didn't expect that the first one would be you. I thought it would be Joshua."

Waving his hand, asking his dad to close the door, Eric answered the phone.

"Hey, Nicole, let me guess, some reporters are surrounding you, right?"

"Eric, why do you sound so happy? We were secretly photographed, and you were also visited by those hateful paparazzi?" Nicole Kidman's angry voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hehe, I was surrounded at the gate of MGM, and everyone witnessed this scene, including the partner I just discussed."

"Oh, that's too bad, I just closed the door, and those paparazzi can stay if they want to, anyway, I don't plan to go out these days."

"Very good, just take it as a vacation for yourself, but I can't do it. There are a lot of things in the company, and I can't hide even if I want to." Eric said with some envy.

"Then can you still come to accompany me?"

"Well, at least not now, let's talk about it when the heat comes down. I hope you can understand, Nicole." Eric paused and replied.

There was a laugh on the other end of the phone: "I'm not a teenage girl, you don't have to try to coax me, but I want to know how you plan to deal with it?"

"In fact, I have already dealt with it just now. I am the director and screenwriter, you are an actor, and we are studying the script. It's that simple."

Eric repeated what happened just now, and Nicole Kidman sighed from the other end.

"Eric, this is a wrong statement. You might as well hide back in the office. Have you ever thought about what if we can't make this movie?"

Eric laughed: "Don't worry, this project does exist. You will see it when the script is completed, and you will be satisfied."

"Really? After all, I am an Oscar winner. I don't consider scripts that are too poor."

"Nico, I am embarrassed to sign a script that is too poor."

Facts have proved that Eric still overestimated the integrity of these media.

Even if he has given a reasonable reason, the media automatically ignored his answer in order to attract attention.

Except for a few major newspapers that are relatively objective, the others are all made up, although this is the fact.

That afternoon, the Internet was indeed full of rumors.

Chicago Sun-Times: "The new Oscar-winning actress secretly met with her boyfriend, who turned out to be the young master of MGM."

Los Angeles Post: "The new Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman's relationship was exposed, and she fell in love with a 22-year-old rich boyfriend."

Salt Lake City Entertainment News: "A helping hand at the Oscars led to the romance between Eric Cooper and Nicole Kidman. The mature actress could not resist the charm of the young handsome man."

American Entertainment Online: "Hero saving beauty or hormone explosion, Nicole Kidman's two-year window was finally broken!"

ABC Entertainment Section: "Transformers director Eric Cooper stayed in Nicole Kidman's villa for more than 3 hours to study the new script "La Vie en Rose."

NBC Entertainment Online: "La Vie en Rose, excuse or true? Nicole Kidman hid at home and avoided talking about it."

"A pile of shit!"

Looking at the reports of these unscrupulous media, Eric slammed the table angrily, his hand HP-1.

At the same time, he also had a bad feeling. These paparazzi would definitely not let him go. He would not be safe anywhere in the short term.

"Or should I go home and hide for a few days like her?"

But he threw this idea behind his mind in an instant. Just kidding, my mother would definitely not let me go when I go home.

Although she and Nicole Kidman are both Catholics, this kind of thing may not be helped even by the Pope, let alone the Catholics.

You have to know that Nicole Kidman is 13 years older than Eric. Which mother would like her son to date a divorced woman who is more than ten years older than her?

Don't really think that American parents don't interfere with their children's marriages. They just won't urge you to get married or arrange blind dates for you.

But not arranging and not interfering are two different things. Parents all over the world are connected. This is due to the emotional nature of human beings.

After thinking about it, he called Chen Xing in.

"Contact Susan and tell her that I will fly to Huaxia for a few days tomorrow. Try to arrange a meeting with Huaying people to get the branch company's affairs implemented."

If you can't afford to offend me, can't you hide? I won't accompany you anymore!

Naturally, I didn't go home at night. There is a special rest room in the company, and it is as comfortable to sleep as at home.

"Mom, how can you think like that? Those gossip media love to make up stories and make groundless accusations. I really studied the script with her, and I think Nicole Kidman is very suitable for the leading role." Eric explained on the phone.

"Of course, I always remember your instructions and will never mess around outside. Don't worry, I'm not Joshua, and it's even more impossible for me to mess around with a woman in her 30s. You don't have to worry about this at all."

"Don't worry, the scene you are afraid of will never happen. No woman will suddenly come to the door with a child. If there is, it will only be Joshua's."

"Okay, I will go to bed early, and you should also rest early, take care of your body, and ignore those gossip newspapers."

"I love you, Mom!"
