I’m in Hollywood

After simply tidying up the set, the last group of people began to rush back to the station.

Eric and Catherine walked behind the crowd, and everyone took the initiative to leave a space for them to chat privately. Even Catherine's female assistant walked away very 'interestingly'. Catherine's face was a little red when she found this situation. However, he still took the initiative to chat with Eric about the filming progress of the movie.

Terrence and I plan to finish filming all the group scenes in the next month, and the remaining shots can be slowly polished. After all, the filming here will probably take place in May. We have already received a contract from Venice. The invitation of the festival, the film will make its debut in Venice in September.”

Eric said: The Venice Film Festival is more focused on art films. In terms of the theme of this film, it should be more suitable for the Berlin Film Festival with a strong atmosphere of governance, right?

Yeah, Katherine nodded and said, But the Berlin Film Festival is held every February, so this year will definitely not catch up. If you are willing to delay the release of the film for a year, we can apply for next year's Berlin Film Festival.

This, it's unnecessary, Eric shook his head with a smile, and said, Our main goal is Oscar.

Although exploring a completely different war theme, compared to last year's Saving Private Ryan, Red Alert is unlikely to show Hanks' breakthrough in Forrest Gump, Oscar's hope is not Big, you have to be mentally prepared, Catherine teased Eric a little, and soon laughed again, saying, I almost forgot, you didn't care about Oscar.

You are wrong, I still care about Oscar.

Catherine glanced at Eric: All you care about is the economic benefits brought by Oscar.

Okay, I admit, Eric said pitifully, spreading his hands, So, do you think I'm very vulgar now and want to draw a clear line with me.

Catherine chuckled and asked again, I heard that you were almost kidnapped in Mexico?

It's not that serious, not even firing a gun. It's just that the media exaggerated to stir up the news.

Catherine nodded, as if she wanted to ask something, but didn't say it.

Eric probably guessed her thoughts. Catherine should have wanted to ask about Titanic just now.

Feeling Katherine's instinct not to mention Cameron's subtle emotions in front of him, Eric smiled and said, Titanic may also be postponed until the end of the year, so the situation at that time is estimated. It’s going to be exactly the same as the year before.”

The year before last year, Katherine's Saving Private Ryan and Cameron's True Lies collided head-on in the summer, because the filming schedule of Titanic was seriously delayed, and this situation will definitely continue to happen at the end of the year.

However, compared to Saving Private Ryan with a strong commercial element, although Red Alert is a war movie, it is very artistic and even a little boring. I am afraid it will not perform well at the box office this year. Of course, if the topic of Katherine and Cameron's new film duel can be hyped up again, with enough topicality, the box office of Red Alert will definitely be much higher than the original.

I'm only in charge of filming, you can arrange the rest, Catherine had no dislike for this situation.

said lightly.

Artists want to pursue film art, but they can't make the film company unable to survive. In this regard, as a female director who is not so smooth in Hollywood, Catherine understands it very well.

Back at the crew station, the sky was already dark, and after a simple dinner, Catherine and others came to the station's simple post-production studio and began to check today's shooting materials.

Eric also helped organize it, and checked the recent shooting results of the crew by the way. Eric is not very good at art films, so he didn't rashly point fingers, just listened to Katherine and Terrence Malick's explanations patiently, and occasionally expressed some of his own opinions as a bystander. Accepted, Eric didn't care too much.

Work in this way until nearly ten o'clock, leaving the studio, the cool breeze outside, many members of the crew gathered outdoors to drink, chat and play cards, and a barbecue grill was set up in the open space, and the smell of barbecue came from time to time.

Terrence Malick and Eric said hello and walked towards the crowd with the two production assistants who came out of the post-production studio together.

Catherine waved to the person who greeted them and asked Eric, Are you going over?

What about you? Eric asked.

Catherine shook her head and said, I'm going back to rest.

Oh, then I'll go to rest too. In the afternoon, I'm going to take a plane and a car again. I'm very tired.

Catherine nodded and walked to the makeshift dormitory side by side with Eric.

When she came to the door of the board room where Catherine lived, the woman looked at the little man who had no intention of leaving. The expression on her face was a little helpless and a little shy, and she said, Aren't you going back?

Oh, I heard that there are quite a lot of snakes in Australia. Would you like me to check it for you?

Catherine shook her head: I'm not afraid of snakes.

Eric's face showed dissatisfaction: How can this be done, how can women not be afraid of snakes.

Catherine raised her eyebrows: Why should women be afraid of snakes?

I mean, Eric spread his hands: Even if you're really not afraid of snakes, you should always look scared in front of men. This is a normal human interaction rule.

You have so many fallacies, Catherine gave Eric a white look, took out the key to open the door, and walked in on her own.

Eric smiled, and since Catherine didn't clearly refuse, he followed suit.

The small room, which is only about ten square meters, is very simple, with a folding bed, a set of desks and chairs, two large suitcases in the corners, and nothing else.

Seeing Eric following in cheeky, Catherine just rolled her eyes slightly at him, took out a bottle of water from the small cardboard box by the wall and handed it over, saying, This is the only one here, do you want it?

Thank you, Eric took it, sat down on the chair, and casually flipped through the director's script on the table.

Catherine also ignored Eric, untied the ponytail behind her head in front of the vanity mirror on the wall, tidied up her brown hair that was loose, and subconsciously looked at the woman in the glasses. Although she always paid attention to sun protection, My skin has gotten a little darker lately.

Feeling a little inexplicable in her sudden thoughts, she looked away, took a few steps back and sat on the edge of the bed and began to unlace her hiking boots.

Because the environmental protection is very good, snakes in Australia are really flooded. In order to avoid accidentally stepping on snakes and being bitten, although the weather is hot, in order to ensure safety, she still wears a pair of high leather hiking boots on her feet. The kind that takes off is usually tossing by herself, at this time she untied the shoelaces, thinking of the little man who was unwilling to leave in her room, she lifted her foot and kicked the chair next to her, saying: Hey, help me. Shall I take off my shoes?

Eric turned his head and glanced at her, then smiled, got up and said, I'm happy to help, ma'am.

Seeing Eric squatting down in front of her, Catherine immediately regretted it, but Eric grabbed her calf and started to pull the boots off, waiting for the two boots to be taken off and put aside. , Catherine looked at the slippers by the door with fluttering eyes. Just as she didn't know what to say, she heard Eric wrinkle his nose and say, What smells, it smells so bad.

No matter how indifferent a woman would not like a man's judgment on the smell of his body, Katherine almost subconsciously kicked Eric, then remembered and explained: The boots are sprayed with snake repellent, what, this is I'm starting to hate it.

The last sentence has a bit of resentment. Eric smiled slightly and grabbed the calf kicked by Catherine: How about I massage for you, your legs must be sore after a long day, right?

No, no, Catherine hurriedly shook her head, feeling that Eric's powerful hand was already on her calf, she felt an inexplicable throbbing in her body, and instantly lost all resistance, or, it was not at all. Resist it too much.

If you ignore the age difference, the man in front of you is indeed a perfect lover. He is gentle and considerate, full of talents, and has wealth beyond the reach of ordinary people, but he does not have the arrogance and arrogance of other rich people. He occasionally shows some little rascals but also It's hard to be offended.

Thinking so wildly, Catherine woke up again, but found herself lying on the bed.

Eric, you...

Catherine pushed Eric on her body weakly, and felt the man's kiss suddenly fall on her sensitive neck. A shudder came, and she suddenly felt, forget it, let him be.

This thought arises, and the hands that were originally pushing and refusing became wrapped around the other's waist.

Affected by this silent encouragement, Eric's actions became more presumptuous, and he reached out and drilled in through the hem of the woman's thin shirt, and Catherine gradually began to cater to him.

The simple wire folding bed made a creaking sound with the movements of the two, but perhaps it was in response to the sentence of joy and sorrow, or the movements of the two were really too large.

Just a moment of effort.

There was a soft click from somewhere, and the sound of metal breaking, and Eric and Catherine felt the cot suddenly fall backwards almost at the same time.

boom--

Catherine, who was originally squinting, suddenly widened her eyes, just looking at Eric's innocent eyes.

Knowing that there must be no drama tonight, Eric 'played hard' and had nothing to say: This, providing the director with inferior beds should be fired, right?

puff!

There was an uncontrollable chuckle from the next door, but it stopped abruptly.

Catherine heard the laughter of her female assistant next door, raised her hand to cover her face tightly, and refused to make a sound.

After being so embarrassed for a moment, Eric got up carefully, tidied up Catherine's lifted clothes, and said softly, I'll get someone to change the bed.

No, Catherine, who was still covering her face, heard Eric's words and said quickly, but she refused to put her hands down no matter what.

Then you get up, I'll help you clean up, maybe, it can still be used?

Do not.

Then... Eric thought for a while, tapped twice on the wall, and said to the next door: Hey, you didn't hear anything just now, did you?

no answer.

Eric knocked twice and repeated.

Still no answer.

Spreading his hands, Eric said to Catherine, who was pretending to be an ostrich: Look, there is no one next door. It was just your hallucination just now. Get up, and I will help you clean up.

Catherine finally let go of one hand, gropingly grabbed the pillow and smashed it at Eric, with a voice like a mosquito: Shut up, I will clean up myself.

Eric took the pillow and put it aside, leaned over and kissed the woman's exposed half of her face, and said softly, Well, I'll go first, good night.

roll.

Eric smiled and whispered again: Then, when I return to Los Angeles, I will invite you to dinner?

Catherine didn't want to answer this question at this time, but after waiting for a while, she felt that the little man didn't get an answer and didn't want to leave, so she gave a low hum.

Eric planned to stay on the set for a few more days, but the embarrassing incident happened last night. Although only Catherine's female assistant heard it, Catherine behaved very poorly in front of Eric for the rest of the day. Naturally, it also resulted in a few small shooting mistakes.

Considering that continuing to stay will definitely affect Catherine's work, and even be seen by others, Eric didn't stay in Daintree, returned to Cairns on the third day, and then directly boarded the flight back to Los Angeles. airplane.

When Eric left Australia, a family of four in Brisbane, southern Queensland, happened to welcome a strange visitor. 》≠miào》≠bi》≠gé》≠,

One of two assistants who accompanied Eric to Australia, Peter Rich did not return to Los Angeles with him. After receiving the task assigned by Eric, Peter Ritchie stayed in Sydney that day, contacted the editorial department of dolly magazine through the channel of Firefly Australia Branch, and got the contact details of Miranda Kerr, They rushed to Brisbane, where the other party lived, without stopping.

Today happened to be Saturday, and the family inexplicably welcomed this gentle man into the living room in the middle-class white gathering area of ​​northern Brisbane.

Miranda Kerr's father, John, sat on the sofa, looking over and over at the beautifully printed business card in his hand, and the somewhat unreal title on the business card, Assistant to the Chairman of Firefly Group.

Although the fact that his daughter was on the cover of a magazine made the family somewhat famous in the nearby community, John never imagined that his daughter would attract the attention of a large multinational media group.

Taking the coffee from John's wife Thales, Peter Ritchie took a polite sip, and looked again at the girl sitting quietly on the sofa on the left. Although she was only thirteen years old, she was already a young girl. The deputy is slim and pretty, um, but his skin is a little darker, so he doesn't look as cute as in the photo.

Then, Mr. Ritchie, John finally said, excuse me, what is your purpose this time?

It's like this, said Peter Ritchie, Mr. Williams happened to see a picture of Miss Kerr in Dolly magazine, and he thought that Miss Kerr would be a good fit for the upcoming '007 Casino Royale'. I have a role, so I sent me here to see if Miss Ke'er is interested in acting.
