Chapter 122 122. A good man should pursue a career!

"Eric, didn't we agree to meet and talk in Flindale? Why did you leave?" Liu Xiaoli's complaint came from the phone.

Eric walked out of the airport hall while talking on the phone. Seeing him come out, Chen Xing immediately opened the car door.

Eric crossed his legs and leaned back on the leather seat. He chuckled and said, "Too busy. I just had to go to New York to handle an urgent business this time."

"If time permits, I definitely don't want to leave, but there is still a lot of work waiting in Los Angeles. Don't forget that tomorrow is Monday."

At home in New York, Liu Xiaoli was standing on the balcony making a phone call. When she heard what Eric said, she immediately rolled her eyes.

What the hell is emergency business! Emergency business means you play that kind of game with women in a high-end restaurant? When Liu Xiaoli thought of the beautiful white woman crawling out from under the table and licking her fingers, she felt nauseous, and then her ears felt a little hot.

That night in Hua Xia, Liu Xiaoli felt that she was very brave to come alone in the middle of the night, but now she knows that it was nothing.

This little man plays too wildly and has seen all kinds of tricks.

Looking at her daughter who was chatting with her sister in the living room, she couldn't help but strengthen her determination. She had finally met Eric Cooper, and she couldn't let him get rid of her and her easily.

All the positions were unlocked for you that night, but in return, only a few verbal promises were given. This made Liu Xiaoli, who thought she was smart, feel fooled.

She said gently, "It's okay. I know you're very busy. Let Feifei and I go to Los Angeles to find you. We have nothing to do anyway, so let's take a trip and see the sights."

"You guys are still coming over!" Eric said in an unhappy tone.

"Why? Is it inconvenient?"

"I'm very busy at work, I may not be able to take care of you."

"Haha. I know you're a busy person, so I won't bother you. If we have time, we can meet. If we don't have time, we can just treat it as a trip to relax. Anyway, I won't make things difficult for you."

"It's up to you then. Don't blame me if we can't meet!"

After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiaoli sighed and looked towards the southwest, where Los Angeles is located.

She touched her face. Although her youth was gone, she was well maintained and still full of charm.

But last time they were all given to the other party. If I want to attract Eric Cooper's interest this time, I must use my trump card.

When I returned to the living room and looked at my daughter laughing and joking with her cousin, I felt a strange feeling in my heart.

"Alas! My dear, for your future, Mommy has sacrificed this face and even this body."

On the sofa, Zhou Wenqiong and Liu Yifei were looking through old photo albums, which contained photos of their youth.

Liu Yifei looked at one of the photos with some surprise: "Aunt, in your era, people still wore bikinis?"

Zhou Wenqiong looked at it carefully and said, "This photo seems to have been taken when I was traveling abroad. I don't remember the details. I didn't dare to wear it in China at that time. I only dared to take it out when I went abroad."

Liu Yifei pointed at Zhou Wenqiong's legs and said with a smile: "Aunt, you have a great figure. It's strange that I am the ugliest in my family. I am so disgusting."

Liu Xiaoli also came over: "Your cousin was the most beautiful girl in Zhuhai Film Studio, one of the Twelve Beauties of Zhuhai Film Studio. Of course she is beautiful. If she hadn't gone abroad later, she would definitely be a top actress in China now."

"Of course it is. Cousin, you are so beautiful. I remember you were a calendar girl." Liu Yifei also instigated.

Zhou Wenqiong nodded: "I did shoot calendars when I was young, that was in the 1980s. At that time, many beautiful and popular female stars would choose this path to increase their popularity, such as Gong Li."

"But it's no longer possible now. I'm old and my skin is wrinkled. Just like a calendar, it will be eliminated with time."

Liu Yifei hugged Zhou Wenqiong's slender waist and said, "What are you talking about, cousin? Look at your figure, you are slimmer than me. You are just like my mom. If you dress up and put on makeup, you will be more beautiful than many stars."

Zhou Wenqiong poked a finger at Liu Yifei's forehead: "You are the only one who can talk. Eh? Feifei, what's wrong with your wrist? It's all blue and purple."

"It's just martial arts training. It's okay. I'll be gone in a few days."

Zhou Wenqiong glared at Liu Xiaoli and said, "Sister, can't you be more careful? You're hurting yourself by dancing. I think it's better for Feifei to practice yoga with me."

"Aunt, it's not dancing, it's martial arts." Liu Yifei giggled.

"Practicing martial arts? Why do you practice that? Do you want to be a martial arts star?"

Liu Yifei nodded: "Someone told me that if I want to develop in Hollywood in the future, kung fu is the only stepping stone. There is only a lack of Chinese actresses who can fight. Others can't stand."

"Who said that? Chen Jinfei? Isn't he capable? Can he get in touch with Sony Columbia? Is there any need for you to learn martial arts from scratch? You don't have any kung fu skills, so learning kung fu will be very tiring."

"It's not the godfather, it's another person, cousin, you should know him, Eric Cooper, the vice president of MGM Studios."

When Zhou Wenqiong heard Eric's name, she was obviously stunned. Although she no longer participated in movies and TV series, she still worked in related jobs after coming to the United States. Now she is a middle-level manager at the Hartsend Theater on Broadway.

However, although he has been working in the theater for nearly seven years, his Chinese identity has always been an obstacle, preventing him from reaching the top.

The salary is okay, but there is no much power.

Looking at Liu Xiaoli with some surprise, Zhou Wenqiong secretly sighed that her sister was really amazing. How did she get on this ship, and a giant international ship at that.

"How do you know Eric Cooper? He is a rising star in Hollywood. It is said that although his father, Charlie Cooper, is the helmsman of MGM, he is the one who truly controls the production power of MGM."

As soon as Liu Yifei told Zhou Wenqiong about China's affairs, she immediately understood.

Although Broadway is not Hollywood and is not as chaotic as Hollywood, it is certainly not much clean.

My sister has no background in the United States, so why should others look at Feifei differently?

Just relying on a pretty face? Are there not many beauties around him? There must be a price to pay.

One can imagine what the cost is.

"Fei Fei, let's go to Los Angeles in a few days to see what Hollywood really looks like."

Liu Yifei hummed obediently.

After hesitating for a while, Zhou Wenqiong said, "Sister, if it's convenient, can you introduce me to someone?"

Before Liu Xiaoli could speak, Liu Yifei, who didn't understand the situation, readily agreed: "Aunt, then you can go with us."

Zhou Wenqiong looked at Liu Xiaoli. She knew that a child could not make the decision.

"Wenqiong, what do you want to do? Is there something wrong?" Liu Xiaoli asked puzzledly.

"Nothing specific, but Hollywood and Broadway have always been inseparable. Good Broadway plays will be adapted into the big screen, and Hollywood's excellent movies will also be adapted into stage plays. If I could get to know a big man like Eric Cooper, it might be very useful."

“Will it help your career?”

"I don't know, but whether or not, it's not a bad thing."

Liu Xiaoli nodded: "Then let's go together then, but Eric may not have time to see us. Anyway, he is a very busy man."

In Los Angeles, the car drove all the way to Gadot's apartment. It was time to accompany this little girl today.

Eric sighed more and more, thinking that he was such a busy man, if only there were a few more women coming in the future.

Not to mention whether your body can handle it, you can’t even find the time.

If one day I surpass Lord Wei, I will have to tear him into pieces.

There is a solution, which is to sleep in the same quilt. Why don't you all sleep together? This saves me from running around everywhere. But it's a bit difficult to implement, ridiculously difficult.

It's just that the Olsen sisters' situation is special. If he dares to make this request to anyone else, he will definitely get a beating.

I don't want to meet Liu Xiaoli because I don't want to cause trouble, but there are also some similar reasons. If I really meet her, I will probably suffer a catastrophe.

"Boss, I already have a target house that you want me to find. I have selected three suitable ones. Do you want to take a look?"

"No need, just choose your own card. This is my personal card."

Eric said nonchalantly that the house was not his to live in anyway, so what was there to see?

But after thinking about it, he felt it was troublesome, so he simply said, "Don't pick, just buy all three."

Chen Xing took the card and was secretly surprised with Peter. It seemed that their boss was doing a lot of tricks behind the scenes.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

One is not enough to keep a beautiful woman in a golden house, so three are needed. I'm afraid they will need ten or eight in the future.

Arriving at the destination and sending the two away, Eric knocked on the door.

Naturally, Gadot responded with a passionate kiss. They had not seen each other for a week due to filming, and Gadot, who had just completed the evolution from a girl to a woman, had long missed Eric.

The two of them completely ignored Judy and Rafaeli who were watching TV in the living room and began to kiss passionately as if no one was around.

Refaeli frowned. "Can you please pay attention to the impact? This behavior is immoral."

Gadot put her arms around Eric's neck and whispered, "Hold me, go to my room."

A girl invites me, and I can’t refuse.

He didn't know if it was because of the disgusting drink Sergei gave him, but he felt that his energy had been restored a lot.

He picked up Gadot and carried her to the bedroom.

"Wait a minute, Eric, The Walking Dead has already reached the sixth episode, why hasn't Rafaeli appeared yet?" Judy asked.

"It's not my editing. It should be the next episode. Darabont seems to have said so."

Bang! The door closed, and after a fierce fight, the two lay down together and fell asleep.

When Eric opened his eyes, a brand new set of clothes was placed next to him. As she had said last time, Gadot had bought several sets for him as a backup.

A warm feeling flowed through my heart. After I put it on, the size fit me perfectly. What a thoughtful woman.

Peter was already waiting downstairs in his car: "Boss, are you going to the set?"

"No, go back to the company."

I have been drained of my energy by these women recently and am becoming increasingly thinner.

This decadent trend must be stopped. Good men should pursue their careers! On the way, he called Andrea and told her that he would take over the crew first and that he would not be there for the time being.

The Olsen sisters are now in good form. Their acting skills might be mediocre in other types of movies, but at least this one is absolutely amazing.

Moreover, the emotional scenes that require more acting skills are already half completed, so there is no problem in letting Andrea take the lead in the daily scenes. Her attentiveness and ability to capture emotions are enough to handle it.

As for the remaining explosive scenes, I can wait until I have time to perform them myself.

I have two important tasks today. One is meeting with those people in Silicon Valley, and "The Purge" is released today.

In the conference room of the MGM building, there was a group of unique people sitting there. Some of them were wearing suits and ties, but most of them were wearing casual clothes, which was somewhat out of place in the film industry.

Many employees were wondering what these people were here for, and later it was revealed that they were technical personnel from Silicon Valley.

I heard that he is engaged in technical research, so it would not be strange no matter what he wears.

Pushing open the door, Eric walked in and shook hands with the three leading men with a smile on his face.

"Heisenberg, Howard, Robert, my friends, welcome!"

These three people were Eric's team, among whom FitzHeisenberg was responsible for the development of Facebook.

Howard Hughes, yes the same name as the famous aviator, was responsible for the development of YouTube.

Robert Murren is responsible for the development of MGM's streaming platform, which Eric tentatively named Lionheart.

As leaders, each of the three of them leads a team of more than 30 people, most of whom are technical developers.

This number is definitely abundant for a startup team.

To put it in an analogy, it is equivalent to equipping Li Yunlong with excess American equipment, so that he can attack not only Ping'an County, but also Tokyo.

In addition to ensuring sufficient manpower, the salary and office conditions are also very good.

The average salary Eric paid them was 30% higher than the market rate, not counting bonuses.

We also rented three floors of a spacious office building in Silicon Valley, with each team occupying one floor, all equipped with the most advanced hardware equipment on the market.

In order to make this happen, we invested 10 million US dollars at the beginning, and almost 3 million has been burned in the past few months.

Eric had only one requirement, and that was speed. He wanted to produce what he wanted as quickly as possible and put it on the market quickly.

He wasn't quite sure when Netflix and YouTube entered the market, but Facebook was very clear, it was early 2004.

Because David Fincher once directed a movie called "The Social Network", which was nominated for eight Oscars. The movie was based on Zuckerberg and Facebook.

Eric has seen the movie many times. The plot is definitely fictional, including those bloody love scenes, but the commercial part can be used as a reference.

In the early days, Zuckerberg was just tinkering around in his Harvard dormitory. It was a small project between a few young people, and the first round of angel investment was only $500,000.

It is conceivable that Facebook was very weak in its early days.

So what Eric needs to do is to use time and capital to crush Zuckerberg and let his grand plan die in the womb.

In addition to Facebook, there is also Myspace, which is known as the originator of social networks, but it is not online yet.

Eric is not worried about it. You couldn't even beat the rising star back then, let alone today. If you dare to come out, I will crush you to death! (End of this chapter)
