Chapter 118 118. You two are truly a pair of dragon and phoenix

In one afternoon, Ashley and Mary were in great shape and the shooting progress seemed to have wings.

It took half a day to shoot 6 pages of script. People who are familiar with the film and television industry must understand how terrifying this number is.

After working overtime for more than an hour, the crew simply finished filming all the scenes that needed to be shot at Universal Studios in one go.

When everything was over, not only the actors, but even the MGM staff looked incredulous.

Such a crazy shooting schedule may not be seen once in ten years, the key is that the quality is guaranteed.

Eric clapped his hands and said, "Thank you all for your hard work today. It's time to call it a day. See you next Monday!"

With his order, today's work came to an end and everyone began to leave one after another.

Andrea excitedly hugged the Olsen sisters: "Ashley, Mary, you are amazing, it's beyond imagination!"

The two sisters smiled sweetly: "Thank you!"

James McAvoy still hasn't come to his senses. He walked up to Ashley, who was acting opposite him, and asked humbly, "Ashley, how did you do it? Your performance is amazing. Do you have any special tricks that you can share with me?"

Ashley looked at Eric secretly: "I'm not sure either. I just suddenly figured it out. Maybe it's the sense of belief that Eric mentioned. An actor must believe in his role."

McAvoy looked puzzled: "I know what you said. Teachers in school will teach it, but what should be done about the process?"

Ashley shook her head, "I'm sorry James, I can't really explain it, it's just a feeling, I don't know how to describe it."

The more mysterious the words sounded, the more Zhan Yimei believed it, because acting is something that requires a lot of talent, and sudden flashes of inspiration are not uncommon.

He could only sigh helplessly: "It seems that I still need to accumulate experience. Maybe returning to the UK to continue participating in dramas is a good choice."

"Come on James, I believe you will become a great actor."

With a casual word of encouragement, Ashley came around Eric, and she and Mary sandwiched the man on the left and right, just like half a day ago.

"Eric, come to our house on Saturday. The last time you came back from Santa Barbara, Ganetti invited you, but you refused."

"That's right, you don't know that little Elizabeth called and asked my mother to prepare a sumptuous dinner. You made her sad."

As they spoke, the two cursed Gal Gadot in their hearts. They didn't have any feelings for this woman in the first place. At most, they envied her good luck.

But now it's different. Little Elizabeth said Gal Gadot is Eric's girlfriend, so the question arises, what are they sisters? Although there will definitely be competition between the two sisters, that is an internal conflict. Gal Gadot is different. This is an invasion by external forces, and she must be driven away first.

Eric is such an outstanding man, he is definitely a good choice as a boyfriend or husband.

He is young, handsome, talented, has a privileged family background and a lot of money, and has close ties with Double Star Entertainment. You’d be a fool not to seize this opportunity.

Faced with the invitation, Eric had no idea what the Olsen sisters were thinking, but he had to go to New York at the weekend, so he naturally could not keep the invitation.

I have ignored that bitch Elena for more than a month. If I don't show up, I'm afraid she will be really angry. I also have to go visit Sergei Hassenfeld. This relationship is very important and maintaining it will be very helpful in the future.

He considered his words and said, "I'm afraid not on Saturday. I already have an appointment."

The two sisters' alarm bells immediately went off, and Mary asked directly: "With whom? Gal Gadot?"

Eric thought to himself, I'm going on a date with your dear aunt, but I can't tell you.

"No, why are you talking about Gadot? I have to go to New York to discuss a business deal with Hasbro."

Hearing this, the two sisters breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he wasn't fooling around with Gal Gadot.

"I'm sorry, but you've already broken your promise twice. Don't you feel a little guilty?"

Eric spread his hands and said, "I don't think so. You invited me, not me. Why should I feel guilty?"

Bang! "Oh, don't hit me. Okay, okay, I'll go next week. It's a deal, okay?"

After getting Eric's promise, the two sisters left happily.

In the pink Lamborghini, Mary said hesitantly, "Ashley, do you think he is lying to us? Eric is a very cunning guy."

"I don't know either. I can't keep asking him questions, because that will disgust him. Do you have any good ideas?"

"Why don't we let Aunt Elena keep an eye on him? Aunt Elena lives in New York anyway, and they are friends. We'll know if Eric is going to New York to work if we try."

After a moment's silence, Ashley sighed, "Is this necessary? Even if we find out he's lying to us, what can you do?"

This question immediately left Mary at a loss for words. Yes, even if she knew it was a lie, what could she do?

This relationship was unequal from the beginning, with the Olsen sisters in a weak position and Eric in absolute dominance.

There are actually not many options open to them, or they could just quit early or simply not get involved in this mess and just maintain a business partnership in the future.

But for young people like the Olsen sisters whose minds are not yet fully mature, this path is a bit difficult, especially when the relationship between the three is so complicated.

Or he could just work hard, drive away other competitors around Eric, and eventually succeed.

This path is even more difficult. The first requirement is to learn to be patient, to control your temper and personality, and even to turn yourself into a Ninja Turtle to make it possible.

After all, Eric is not a pure and kind man. With his inability to control his lower body and the temptations of the entertainment industry, it is too difficult.

Mary also sighed: "Don't ask me, I don't know what to do, but if I don't even know whether he is lying to us, I will feel even more uncomfortable and unwilling. No matter what, I'm going to call Aunt Elena anyway."

"Okay, let's fight."

"Eric, are you going out again? I heard some noise in the middle of the night yesterday. Was there a pretty girl?" Joshua asked in a mean way.

Gulp!

"ah"

Putting down the wine glass, Eric took a sip of water. He didn't know how effective the bottle of health wine Han Sanping gave him was. Just thinking about the taste, it was really not that good.

But my dad seemed to feel good after drinking it that night, and the bottle, which was originally full, is now only half empty. I guess it really is effective.

Nicole will definitely not let him go tonight. He has already spent too much energy on Ashley and Mary, and now he is still exhausted. He might as well try this thing.

"I'm asking you a question, Eric. Are there any pretty girls? Introduce one to me." Joshua poked his brother's shoulder.

"What a pretty girl! I need to work overtime."

"Nonsense! Don't you see what time it is? Do you think I'm a fool?"

Eric raised the script of La Vie en Rose in his hand and said, "Why would I lie to you? I'm busy filming during the day and have no time to study. I can only do it at night. I have an appointment with the screenwriter."

Joshua was skeptical: "Is this true?"

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Don't just sit there doing nothing all day. Just go back to the team and learn some management skills."

After saying that, Eric walked out of the house and the Lamborghini drove away.

Practice makes perfect. This time, Eric climbed over the wall much more smoothly. He didn't fall and his clothes didn't get damaged. He arrived at the door with ease.

She rang the doorbell: "Nico, open the door, your husband is here!"

Snap!

The door opened and Nicole Kidman walked out wearing a translucent silk dress with the distinctive love knot necklace hanging around her neck.

"Husband? Where is he? Where is he? Why can't I see him?" She looked around pretending to search.

Eric raised his thumb and pointed at his chin, then realized something was wrong. He subconsciously made Vegeta's deflated gesture, which was not auspicious, so he quickly put it away.

"Look here, I am that person."

"You? You are Eric Cooper, how can you be my husband?" Nicole looked at him with a smile.

Eric took off his coat skillfully and picked her up: "You will know soon."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Carrying Nicole to the sofa, Eric kissed her nose: "Honey, why do you feel a little heavier."

"What! No way!"

Nicole Kidman instantly broke free from his arms, her eyes widened in surprise.

She walked into another room and came out a moment later holding a scale.

"OMG! I gained 1.5 pounds! This is horrible!"

Seeing her intense reaction, Eric hurriedly held her in his arms and kissed her to cover her mouth.

After a long moment, the two separated, and Eric stroked Nicole's forehead gently, "Relax ma'am, you're just a little heavier, which is actually quite good, because you were too thin before, and I actually hope you can gain another 10 pounds."

Nicole took his hand and put it on the bear: "You will comfort me. Female stars can't get fat. It will ruin everything. Look at Kate Winslet. Now she can only play some housewives."

"Haha. What's wrong with being a housewife? Doesn't it better reflect her acting skills? And I have a friend who is obsessed with Winslet. He doesn't care whether she is fat or thin. This is true love."

Nicole stretched out her hands and hooked them around Eric's neck, looking straight at him: "What about you? Do you care about my weight?"

"Of course I don't care. Didn't I just tell you that I want you to gain another 10 pounds?" Eric said without hesitation.

"Why? Give me a reason."

“I think it should be healthy!”

Nicole shook her head: "Can your reason be any more false?"

"Well, a little more meat is good. Being too skinny is frustrating!"

"Hateful! You are such a jerk."

Before they finished talking, the two of them had already started French kissing.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Eric was decisively squeezed for two hours.

After the battle, Neeko returned to her lazy state, lying in Eric's arms like a kitten.

"My dear, no wonder you won the Oscar for Best Actress. I think I found the reason."

"What?"

"Just now you were so crazy that you seemed to want to swallow me up, but now you are as docile as a bonnie rabbit. Isn't this the real-life embodiment of acting?"

"Eric, I find you becoming more and more annoying." Nicole frowned.

"Hey, really? You hate me?"

"Of course I hate you, but I hope other women hate you even more, so that you will have no choice but to stay with me."

As she said this she climbed up and they kissed tenderly.

After a long time, Nicole picked up the script and started reading.

"Get out of the way and let me concentrate."

“Do you need a docent?”

"That would be best!"

The script they have in their hands now is only a rough draft and is still a long way from perfection, so it is easier to understand with Eric's explanation.

The two of them watched until late at night. Later, Nicole simply threw away the script and listened to Eric's story attentively.

Dong! The clock struck midnight, and the legendary life of Edith Piaf slowly came to an end with Eric's voice.

"Wow. Although I have learned more about her since you said that last time, it is still a very touching life."

"Eric, what kind of movie do you want to make?"

"It's a biopic, it has to be a biopic!" Eric said with certainty.

If "La Vie en Rose" were made into an adapted commercial film, the work would lose its meaning and would definitely fail both commercially and artistically.

"Well, I'm glad that we have reached a consensus on this point. I think playing such a role should be very interesting and challenging."

"Nico, I believe in your acting skills. You can definitely handle this role. Maybe it will bring you another golden statue trophy!"

Nicole nodded: "I like challenges, but there are still a few problems. Little Skylark is less than 1.5 meters tall, but I am taller than him."

Eric waved his hand. "That's not a problem. It can be adjusted technically through the camera, including the singing. I plan to use Edith Piaf's soundtrack. You just need to lip sync and learn the performance manners carefully."

"Is this okay? Wouldn't it seem unprofessional? My first movie after winning the Oscar for Best Actress is like this. There will definitely be people who will talk about it." Nicole was a little embarrassed.

Eric snorted, "Don't worry about what those critics think. In a few years, with the demise of print media, these people will also die. You have to know that we are filming the life of a legendary French singer. Do we have to use French throughout the film?"

"Of course not! It's a Hollywood movie and the only language used is English. Is there any bigger flaw than this?"

Eric dared to say this because Marion Cotillard also used the soundtrack in the original version, but it did not affect her winning the award at all, because this is not a problem that can be solved by personal efforts.

"Okay, but I still want to give it a try, at least to show an attitude."
