Chapter 145 145. You thought it was a razor, but it was actually a hair dryer!

In China, secretly filmed videos generally cannot be used as evidence.

Even if the content of the video is extremely favorable to you, the premise of secretly filming has already violated the privacy and other rights of the person being secretly filmed, so the court generally will not accept it.

Similarly, there is no such thing as private detectives in China. All people and organizations that use the name of private detectives to do secret filming, tracking, and doxing have violated the law.

But in the United States, the opposite is true.

Not to mention private detectives, American police departments have paid public detectives, such as the Chinese detective Li Changyu, who can be understood as this type.

There are even more private detectives, and their business is booming because they are more efficient.

They not only take on civil cases such as adultery, but also criminal cases such as murder, rape, theft, and domestic violence.

Moreover, private detectives have many methods to investigate and collect evidence, including surveillance, wiretapping, and secretly taking videos.

Because the purpose and premise of taking illegal means is to win the case, as long as it does not involve hard violence or coercion such as beatings and detentions, the actions of private detectives are allowed and the evidence obtained can be accepted by the court.

So even though this video was secretly filmed, it still has legal effect.

Michael Dobbs must have contributed to getting this video, and the shooting angle was so suitable that only Martin Basher showed his face at the scene. It was definitely a specially constructed trap.

And asking this old politician for help would cost a lot.

Eric didn't want to ask how it was done, so he said directly, "Billy, ask the finance department to reimburse you for how much you spent, and you can choose your reasons."

Billy nodded, "Also, I gave the House of Cards script you sent me to Michael Dobbs."

"After watching it, he was very satisfied and praised the adaptation as being excellent. He is eager to see the finished film as soon as possible."

"Also, regarding the content about Princess Diana, Michael Dobbs requested that it not be published. It is sufficient to only publish the part about MJ."

"Why?" Eric asked.

"Eric, that was Princess Diana, a princess loved by the entire Commonwealth. That interview had a huge impact."

"That interview tore the royal family's fig leaf apart, not just for Princess Diana herself, but also for the entire British royal family. It had a serious impact."

“Especially since Princess Diana died just a year after her divorce from Prince Charles, there are so many conspiracy theories circulating about her death.”

"MJ is just an entertainer, but Princess Diana is a politician. They are completely different."

"Michael Dobbs is worried about implicating himself?" Eric mused.

"It should be. After all, this is his request."

Eric put the USB away: "Well, I'll pay attention."

After seeing Billy off, I picked up the phone. It had been so long, and there was still no news from Dan Jones. This woman really didn't take the client's father seriously.

After ringing for a long time, the phone was finally connected.

"Boss, why are you calling me so late at night? What can I do for you?" Dan Jones' lazy voice came from the other end.

Eric said seriously, "If I don't call, you won't take the initiative, right?"

"Haha. Are you anxious? Don't worry. I will come to you after I complete the task."

"How long do we have to wait? There's not much time left before Michael Jackson's trial begins. If you can't do it, I have to replace you in time."

“Ahem.”

Hearing that Eric wanted to make a substitution, Dan Jones coughed a few times and then changed to a serious attitude: "How about this, I will go to MGM to find you tomorrow and report the progress."

"Any results?"

“Partial results, but at least it lets you know your money wasn’t wasted.”

"Okay, wait for me in the office at 3pm tomorrow."

The next day, after breakfast, Eric went straight to the set.

We are shooting the last scene of "Blue Is the Warmest Color" today, and it will be finished after that.

As people arrived one after another, everyone was in a very excited working state.

Although more than a month of shooting is not long, according to the company's regulations, you can take a few days off after the shooting. Who doesn't like vacation?

Ashley and Mary held the script and familiarized themselves with the final lines, while Andrea patrolled the set and Neill Blomkamp directed the scenery.

"Director, we can start filming!" Andrea's voice came from the intercom.

Eric picked up the speaker and yelled, "Best Blue, Scene 45, action!"

The last scene is not difficult. It is just a simple dialogue placed in the middle of the movie plot.

Shooting a movie is not like acting in a movie. There is no need to follow a certain order. What to shoot first and what to shoot later depends mainly on which scene is more convenient.

For some actors, the first scene they perform after joining the crew is a tragic death scene, but the last scene is everyone laughing and eating hotpot.

In the shot, Ashley and Mary snuggled together and stood in front of the drawing board admiring the graffiti.

Anyway, Eric called it graffiti. It was a work of art bought by the props team. Each piece was worth several hundred dollars, but he couldn't understand what was so noble about it.

"This painting is in the style of Gauguin. I imitated him. Do you know Gauguin? He is a French Impressionist master."

"This painting is in the style of Repin, my friend's. If you look at the two paintings you will see that they are completely different because Repin's style is more realistic and he is Russian."

Emma, ​​played by Mary, pointed at the paintings in her collection and introduced them one by one, as if she was describing each treasure. Her eyes were full of light, and one could tell at a glance that she was a girl who loved art extremely.

In contrast, Adele, played by Ashley, was born into an ordinary family with ordinary parents. She went to an ordinary school and had an ordinary job.

Her face revealed confusion and bewilderment. She knew nothing about art and had no interest in it. She could only listen to her lover's stories mechanically.

From this we can see that the two people’s living conditions are completely different, and they are simply from two different worlds.

Their love comes from a fleeting glance, from the stirrings of hormones, and from love at first sight.

However, if people from two different worlds want to stay together for a long time, hormones alone are not enough, they also need common support, but they have nothing in common.

People of different personalities may fall in love at first sight, but they cannot stay together forever.

When you are hungry, you eat a lot; when you are sad, you cry; when you are lonely, you want to be loved; when there are cracks, you quarrel; after the pain, you break up and leave. This is Adele's life and the life of all ordinary people.

Under the camera, the Olsen sisters expressed this emotion accurately, and the scene was shot in one take.

Eric picked up the microphone he had just put down and shouted again: "Great! This scene is a success!"

He looked around, and finally said in everyone's expectant eyes: "I declare that the filming of "Blue Is the Warmest Color" has been completed!"

“Yeah!”

There was a sudden cheer on the set and everyone clapped.

Eric walked up to Judy and said, "The movie is over. Go back to work."

Walked up to the groundskeeper and said, "Good job, Yellen!"

Then he walked over to the cameraman and gave a thumbs up: "Thanks for your hard work, Carl!"

Continuing to the radio, "Lynn, your ability really opens my eyes!"

Then he walked over to the props team and said, "Forendil, you are a good captain, everyone is great!"

Just like the owner of the Kuakua group, Eric praised everyone in the crew. He started out as a grassroots worker and knew well the hard work of the grassroots staff.

Finally, he came to Andrea and said, "Andrea, I must thank you very much for keeping the crew running normally while I was away."

The British female director smiled and said, "No director, it's mainly because your script is very detailed and I don't need to use my brain much."

"Haha. What are your plans next?"

Andrea thought for a moment and said, "Not yet. I really didn't expect the film to be shot so quickly. It seemed like it was over as soon as I woke up. To be honest, it was a bit sudden. I'm not ready yet."

“Have you ever thought about making your own movie?”

Andrea said slowly: "I have thought about it, but I feel that my ability is still insufficient, so I want to start with a short film. I am afraid that the big screen will make the investors lose money."

Eric laughed: "There aren't many directors like you who are willing to consider investors. Everyone wants more money."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"It's mainly because I don't want to get a bad reputation. I'm considering the long term."

"Well, how about this, you be my assistant director again?"

"You're starting a new project so soon?" Andrea was a little surprised.

"It's a political thriller TV series. Let's team up again. I'm confident in your abilities."

Hearing this, Andrea hesitated: "But director, I still want to leave some time to prepare the script."

"Don't worry, I'm very fast, you saw it."

"This drama will start shooting in about a month. The shooting time is expected to be about the same as Blue Is the Warmest Color, or even longer, at most two months."

"Anyway, you will have plenty of time to prepare this year. The short film will start shooting next year, and MGM will invest in you."

Eric directly offered investment temptation, it’s just a short film, I have money!

Sure enough, Andrea surrendered instantly. No matter how reserved you are, you will fall under the master's money offensive.

"Then it's settled. I'll give you half a month off first, and then you can ask me to get the script and participate in the preparations. Is that okay?"

"No problem. I just happened to be going back to England."

"It's a deal!"

People on the set evacuated one after another until Neil Blomkamp came and invited Eric to a party, but he refused.

It was just a symbolic invitation. After all, who would be willing to have a party with the boss? It would simply be uncomfortable. The guy left happily with a group of people.

At this time, only Eric and the Olsen sisters were left on the huge set.

Eric spoke up, "Go and close all the doors."

Mary looked at him with a smile: "Why are you closing the door? Are you planning to do something bad here?"

"Bad things? No, I'm going to do romantic things!"

As he said this, he turned off the lights in the studio, and the three of them fell into darkness.

"Eric, what are you doing?" Ashley asked.

At this moment, the lights suddenly came on, but they were not fluorescent lights, but movie lights.

Eric adjusted the background slides, and the light suddenly turned into a brilliant starry sky shining on the ceiling, as beautiful as being in the universe.

"OMG!" the two sisters exclaimed at the same time.

Eric fiddled with the effect lights again, and a curtain of bright rain instantly enveloped the entire venue. Except for the lack of rain, it was no different from being in a drizzle.

"Now what? Is this scene romantic enough?"

Ashley ran over and threw her petite body towards Eric.

One of them was nearly 190cm tall, and the other was less than 160cm tall. Eric caught her with one hand, then did a Latin wrap around her waist.

The same technique was used to clamp Mary, and the two sisters were hung on both sides of Eric's body like pendants.

"Why do I feel like a father and daughter?" Eric kissed them both back and forth.

Mary hooked her arms around his neck and whispered, "Really? Do you like being called daddy?"

Eric's heart skipped a beat and he nodded shamelessly: "It's not a bad idea to give it a try."

Hearing this, Ashley bit his earlobe and whispered in his ear: "Daddy, do you want to know what's under my clothes?"

On the other side, Mary rubbed her legs against little Eric: "This little pervert is getting bigger and bigger. What is he craving?"

"Uh I think he needs to feel wrapped now."

"Hehe. What a coincidence. Little Mary needs a tight feeling right now."

They spread out the blanket they had prepared in advance, and the already cool clothes instantly flew everywhere, and the three of them rolled together naked.

The bright lights shone on them, and a charming atmosphere floated in the air.

After a while of stacking people and making sandwiches, the ground was wet.

In the MGM building, Eric sat in a chair with his eyes closed.

This body is still young. If it were before the time travel, after lunch, Eric would have to take a walk and then take a nap.

If I don’t take a nap, I won’t be able to hold on at night. I’m over 30 and my body is drained. I really can’t hold on any longer.

However, Americans basically have no habit of taking naps. They have an hour and a half lunch and break at noon, and then continue to work.

Knock knock knock. There was a knock on the door, and Chen Xing led Dan Jones in.

After instructing people not to come in and disturb him, Eric said, "Sit down."

There were only two people left in the office. The woman opened her black bag and took out something that looked like a lipstick.

Seeing this, Eric was a little speechless, thinking, why are you putting on makeup here, are you trying to seduce me? Although this woman is a bit pretty, she has been squeezed by Ashley and Mary three times in the morning, and now she is a little red and swollen, in a state of Buddha.

Dan Jones glanced at him and said, "Boss, I know what you are thinking, but the lipstick is just a cover for it. In fact, it is a bug."

As she spoke, she operated it and a sound suddenly came from the lipstick.

"hiss"

Eric tactically leaned back, in awe.

You thought it was a razor, but it was actually a hair dryer!
