Chapter 149 149. So be it (don’t repeat if you have subscribed)
In room 514, Eric and Liu Xiaoli strolled to the floor-to-ceiling window.
From the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can clearly see the brightly lit high-rise buildings and streets outside.
In the middle of the night in Los Angeles, this world-famous entertainment center, I am afraid that many people are living a life of debauchery.
However, as a high-end hotel, this kind of glass is definitely not see-through, and you can't see inside from the outside, which more or less reduces the fun.
"It's so cool."
"The air conditioner is on, so of course the glass will be cold."
"By the way, next time we have a chance, let's go play outside and have a picnic or something." Eric said with interest.
"If you want to go, go by yourself. I can't do that."
"How about going to the rooftop? I've been to the top of the MGM building. It's a little windy, but it's not cold in the summer, and it's quite spacious."
"Go to hell, you dare me, but I don't. I can't afford to lose face. What if someone sees me? Don't you think about it?"
"Do I need to think about it? I am the owner of that building. If I don't allow anyone to go up, no one dares to go up!"
"Okay, okay, you're awesome. Let's not stay here anymore. I'm feeling a little nervous." Liu Xiaoli said with a frown.
"Why are you so nervous? You can't see anything outside!"
Before they knew it, they were in front of the mirror.
"look up!"
"Don't lower your head, open your eyes and look into the mirror!"
"How do you feel now?"
There was a devil's whisper in my ears.
Liu Xiaoli shook her head slightly and said nothing.
The only thought left in her mind was how this damn guy could become so ferocious.
It was a very strange feeling, as if there was a fish swimming back and forth inside my body, its tail flapping against every nerve.
"Don't want to talk? Then I'll listen to you!"
Eric suddenly laughed narrowly as he said this.
"You...what are you laughing at?" Liu Xiaoli asked reluctantly.
"Just thought of a funny thing to say."
"ah?"
"Ma'am, you don't want your daughter to fail in Hollywood, do you?" Eric said with some malicious interest.
When Liu Yifei was mentioned, Liu Xiaoli's mind suddenly became clearer.
"Asshole, Eric Cooper, you are such a bastard, you actually threatened me with Feifei!"
"How can you say such harsh words? When we first met in the Forbidden City, I kindly pointed out Crystal's problem and pointed out the way forward for her."
"Who would tell you this as a stranger? I can't say he's a benefactor, but at least he's kind to you. You should be a little grateful in your heart. How can you scold me?"
"Asshole, I think you planned this all along!"
Eric chuckled and said in a different way: "Well, you don't have to talk about your feelings. Just answer me a question."
"What's the problem? What are you trying to do?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Choose one of the two. I'm asking you whether you will answer or not."
"Okay, then go ahead and ask."
Eric took a deep breath and said, "Your cousin Zhou Wenqiong, what does she want to do?"
Liu Xiaoli hummed a few times before speaking: "She? Didn't she talk to you about Broadway? She has been doing this since she went abroad. It's been many years. I don't really understand."
"You don't know anything? You've been in the United States for so many years, aren't you on good terms?"
"We have a good relationship in life, but I really don't know about work. To be honest, let alone Broadway, I don't even know how deep the water is in the film and television industry. Otherwise, how can you humiliate me like this now?"
"You bastard, I really regret it now. Why did I let Feifei enter the entertainment industry? This industry is too murky. Sometimes it's so dirty that I want to vomit. Alas!"
Eric said happily: "Dirty and glamorous are the characteristics of this circle. If you can't adapt, it's not too late to quit now. Open a dance training class, go to a factory or supermarket to screw screws, no one will stop you!"
"Turn left now and you can leave this circle and go wherever you want. No one can restrict your freedom."
"Eric Cooper, could you please be more tactful? I'm just expressing my feelings, but you're being sarcastic. Feifei has a contract signed on her body. Can she just leave as she pleases?"
"Haha. Let's not talk about this anymore. Tell me what Zhou Wenqiong wants to do. I don't believe you don't know anything."
"What I said is true. Wenqiong rarely talks to me about work."
"You're still not being honest, are you? I was thinking of giving Crystal a role to try, but it seems..."
Liu Xiaoli interrupted him hastily before he finished speaking.
"Wait, wait, I know, but I only know one thing. Do you want to listen?"
"You have no right to bargain! If you don't, I'll leave now."
Liu Xiaoli was helpless: "Oh, I'm really scared of you. Actually, my cousin is not the drama director of the Hudson Theater. She is just a middle-level manager with a relatively leisurely job."
"When she talked about her identity during the meal, I was also very surprised."
"That's all I really know. I really don't know what she wants to do specifically."
"At worst, you can go ask her, but don't tell anyone about me. Just say you found out about it yourself. Otherwise, I won't be able to get along with Wenqiong."
Eric laughed and said, "I knew there was something fishy going on. I see. Thank you for being such a good sister."
Liu Xiaoli looked back at Eric with a very aggrieved expression.
"That's enough, you bastard. What else do you want from me?"
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Eric didn't feel sorry for her, but he still wanted to give her a sweet reward after a beating.
Otherwise, if it is damaged, there will be no pleasure in the future. This is not ancient times. Eric does not want to commit a crime, and he cannot imprison a living person.
Eric picked up Liu Xiaoli and returned to the studio, where he kissed her gently.
"Okay, okay, I was just kidding. Let's not talk about your cousin anymore. I'm actually thinking about Crystal's matter."
"MGM is planning to launch an American TV series in the near future, with a supernatural theme, and she can play a role in it."
Hearing this, Liu Xiaoli's eyes lit up. She was selling herself and her cousin, this was exactly what she wanted.
I immediately asked happily: "What role? Supporting role or main role? Does it have a lot of scenes?"
"As for the drama, for example, have you ever seen 24?"
"I have seen it. It is a very good American TV series."
"It's a unit drama similar to this one. Crystal can be arranged to play the leading role in a unit."
"It turns out to be a TV series," Liu Xiaoli said a little disappointed.
Eric pinched her waist and said, "What's wrong with a unit drama? Are you too young to do it? Have you ever considered that Feifei is a complete amateur in the United States?"
"I bet you that if you randomly interview a hundred people, not one of them would know her. Right now, she is not qualified to take on a bigger role."
"Besides, all the big names in Hollywood today started out as small roles and worked their way up."
"Leonardo DiCaprio started out as a guest star on Growing Pains, which was already in its sixth season, and the ratings for that show were very low."
"Brad Pitt started out by playing a small-time gangster in Thelma & Louise, and Johnny Depp took the risk of making his debut in A Nightmare on Elm Street, playing a small role that was brutally killed and appeared for less than ten minutes."
"These big names all started out as small roles. I believe Crystal is no worse than them. She can also make it out of this, right?"
Liu Xiaoli nodded reluctantly. She knew that she only had the right to make suggestions and could not influence this hateful man's decision-making.
Even if the other party takes advantage of you, you have no place to seek justice in Hollywood.
Might is right, and this rule applies everywhere.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
“What if the audience is more satisfied?”
"Haha. If the audience is satisfied, you don't need to tell me. Even if I don't arrange a better play for her, there will be scripts that will come to her. Remember, capital always pursues profit."
"Okay, I'll listen to you then."
Eric nodded slightly: "So, how are you going to repay me?"
"Aren't I repaying you?" Liu Xiaoli rolled her eyes at him.
"Let's do something more amazing. You're a dancer, do you have any special skills?"
"Humph! Being pressed in front of the mirror by you just now wasn't exciting enough, was it? Eric Cooper, I think you are not only a bastard, but also a pervert."
Eric raised his eyebrows: "It seems that you are still not obedient enough, perverted, right? Then I will do something perverted."
,.,
It was almost five in the morning when Eric walked out of the Rupert Hotel.
In June, the sun rises early. Now there is a slight heat in the air and the sun is about to rise.
Yawning and rubbing his aching waist, Eric sighed and asked for moderation.
Although the medicinal wine is very effective, it is not a magic pill after all. I have been doing this for nearly three hours. Even a young body cannot withstand this. I must go home and get some sleep.
I turned the steering wheel sharply and headed towards Beverly Hills. There were few people on the road and I drove very fast, but halfway through the journey I felt something was not right.
My mom always likes to ask questions. Without Joshua at home to attract attention, she will definitely ask me where I have been.
After thinking for a while, he turned the steering wheel again and headed towards the boulevard. He bought three apartments, and two of them were still empty, which was perfect for sleeping.
On the way, he, in Sage Time, recalled the conversation he had just had with Liu Xiaoli about the arrangements for Liu Yifei.
Anyway, "Supernatural" is writing the script and made a request to the screenwriter to rewrite a chapter into a story about an Asian girl being murdered and becoming a female ghost.
The ending could be made a little more heartwarming. The female ghost was not killed by the two evil spirits of the Wen family in the end, but was only sealed temporarily, laying the groundwork for the future.
If the test response is good, I can restart the role, or participate in other film and television dramas to slowly build up the audience's appeal.
She can play supporting roles in movies later. Whether she can become the protagonist depends on her hard work and luck. No one can predict fate.
In short, I can train her slowly, instead of aiming too high and following the old path, the outcome should be very different.
At the same time, Eric also told them not to give up on China, as that is their base. They should still continue to shoot the movies, and it is more important to consolidate the base.
Look at Zhou Renfa, he failed so completely in Hollywood, but after he returned, he was still called Brother Fa.
Not to mention the attitude in private, at least on the surface, who would dare to disrespect him or not call him a veteran artist?
His pay is still top-notch and he can still get the best resources. This is the benefit of having a solid base. Many Chinese audiences recognize him.
The same was true for Liu Yifei before she traveled through time. Her debut dramas helped her accumulate a terrifying number of fans, especially "The Chinese Paladin", which established her position in the hearts of people born in the 80s and 90s.
So even though she is an American and even though there were some problems, Liu Yifei was not greatly affected.
The health bar is so thick that countless female stars envy it.
At the same time Eric left, Liu Xiaoli quickly put on her clothes and went back to her room.
Although she was not penetrated from behind, she was still swollen after a series of difficult postures and the amazing endurance of that stinky man.
Liu Xiaoli quietly opened the door, tiptoed in, and prepared to return to the bedroom quietly.
Suddenly I saw Zhou Wenqiong standing next to the window.
Her heart skipped a beat when she was caught doing something sinful.
"Wenqiong, you...why did you get up so early? You didn't even turn on the light. You scared me."
Zhou Wenqiong turned around and said, "I drank a little yesterday and went to bed early. I woke up early today as well. After I woke up, I couldn't fall asleep again. I walked to the window to look at the scenery outside."
Then she asked knowingly: "Sister, why are you here so early? Are you out yet?"
Liu Xiaoli was a little embarrassed: "Yes, I woke up earlier than you. I couldn't sleep so I went out for a walk. It's all because of that glass of wine."
"You know that America is very chaotic at night. It's better not to go out. Did you sprain your ankle? Your walking posture is a little weird."
"Uh... I sprained my ankle. I'm a little tired from walking. I'm going to sleep for a while. You should rest for a while too."
Liu Xiaoli didn't want to talk any more. She really wanted to rest now and had a good sleep.
"By the way, sister, do you think what I discussed with Eric Cooper will be successful?"
Liu Xiaoli felt even more embarrassed and thought to herself, I just sold you out, what can you ask me to say?
She was organizing her words in her mind, not knowing how to respond.
Zhou Wenqiong didn't know that her dear sister had sold her out, so she immediately asked for help: "Sister, you have to help me. You and Eric have a very good relationship, so please speak for me. If this can be accomplished, I will thank you very much."
Liu Xiaoli was extremely embarrassed: "Don't worry, Wenqiong, we are sisters, why bother saying thank you or not? Your business is my business."
"When I talk to him, I'll try to find out for you."
"That's great, thank you sis!"
"Haha... We're family, so I'm going to sleep first."
"Go quickly. I see you are so tired."
When she returned to the bedroom, she found her daughter still sleeping soundly, and Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but shake her head slightly.
"My daughter, I have already given you this opportunity, so you must fight for it."
