Chapter 58 59. Girl Looking for Opportunities (Please collect and read)
Park City, Sundance Film Festival.
No one cared about "Leland's America" anymore, and the media's attention was now focused on Eric Cooper.
The reporters came to the film festival for routine reasons, but unexpectedly they caught a big fish. They felt that something in their bodies was ebbing and flowing.
"Everyone, be quiet. I know what you want to ask. Come one by one and I will answer them. Everyone else, shut up. You first. Yes, you."
The reporter who was called was very excited: "Hello, Mr. Cooper, I am from the Chicago Herald. May I ask whether the news released by MGM in the early morning is true or false?"
"Of course it's true, there's no doubt about it." Eric said without hesitation.
Oh! All the reporters exclaimed at the same time, followed by ecstasy. It was indeed big news.
"Mr. Cooper, you studied finance, but you don't seem to have any experience in directing. What made you want to be a director? Are you really confident that you can direct Transformers? That's a big production."
Eric laughed: "No one is born a director, but everyone can be a director, right?"
"Many people can shoot videos with DV and 8mm cameras, like The Blair Witch Project. You can't deny that it's a successful movie, right?"
"I really haven't learned anything about directing, but Cameron is a truck driver, and he still made Titanic!"
Seeing Eric's confident look, the reporters could hardly hold back their laughter.
You really dare to compare, is James Cameron an ordinary director? He is the king of the world.
If "Titanic" could be filmed easily, why was there only this one in the past hundred years? Someone must be seriously ill to say such a thing.
Many reporters recalled the original press conference and Eric’s bold statement of 700 million box office revenue.
"Mr. Cooper, you think that if you direct Transformers, the box office can reach $700 million, right?"
"Yes, I have confidence in myself and the Transformers brand. We are a strong combination! 700 million is not a problem at all."
After hearing the words "strong alliance", the reporter from Los Angeles Entertainment News asked loudly, "Mr. Cooper, are you just playing around this time? Or do you plan to continue on the path of being a director?"
"Well, I think I'll keep going. This is an interesting job, creative and not boring. I still like it. It's quite interesting."
“So you want to be a director because it’s fun?”
"Doesn't everything start with interest? We have been taught this since elementary school."
"Who is your target then? Spielberg? Martin Scorsese? James Cameron? Or Ridley Scott?"
After a pause, Eric looked into the distance: "I am not anyone, and I don't want to imitate anyone. Why can't I be the one being imitated?"
After being stuck in traffic for nearly an hour, Eric finally got away after satisfying the group of gossip reporters.
Although the print media will not publish the interview until tomorrow, with the speed of these paparazzi, the information will be leaked online in the afternoon. Otherwise, you will not be able to eat shit before it is hot.
After leaving the theater, Eric didn't plan to stay here any longer. His goal had been achieved, so he'd better hide. If someone couldn't find his father, they would definitely come looking for him.
It was almost noon and the flow of people was still large. Looking around to see that there were no reporters, Eric lowered his hat, stepped on the snow, and blended into the crowd.
After walking for a while and leaving the area, the feeling of being crowded disappeared.
Continuing forward, Eric couldn't help but miss the days with navigation. This was his first time in Park City, and it was not convenient to bring Chen Xing with him this time. He didn't even know where to find a good hotel.
I asked a few people, but they were all tourists and they knew nothing about anything. After all, a small town with a population of more than 10,000 people suddenly had an influx of more than 100,000 people, so it was really difficult to find a few locals on the road.
"Hey! What are you asking? Maybe I can help you. You've been wandering around for a long time."
A voice sounded behind him. Eric turned around and saw a nice blonde girl standing behind him, looking at him with a smile.
When Eric asked the passerby just now, he noticed her because she had been following him for a while.
But Eric didn't care. After all, there were more than 100,000 people gathered here, and the town was so small that it was normal for them to go the same way. But now it seems that this is not the case.
"Yes, I want to find a place to eat something and take a rest after eating. Do you know of any high-end hotels?"
The girl nodded: "Of course I know, and this is exactly what I need. How about we do it together?"
“Are you from here?”
Eric thought the other party was soliciting customers, although this kind of solicitation was rarely seen in the United States.
"No, I'm here to attend the film festival just like you. Actually, I'm an actor."
Hearing this, Eric instantly became alert and asked in a scrutinizing tone: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
The girl did not hide it: "Chloë Sevigny, someone who is interested in you, someone who is looking for opportunities."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
After saying that, he took the initiative to extend his hand to Eric.
The other party's honesty actually made Eric dispel his guard. What could it be that an actor was eyeing him? It was nothing more than promoting himself and wanting a role.
And when he heard the name, the other party's information also appeared in his mind.
Chloë Sevigny is indeed a little-known actress, or to be more precise, an actress whose awards and fame are not commensurate.
Because even though this girl is only in her 20s, she has already won an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress by playing a lesbian.
However, it is not 20 years later yet, and movements like LGBT are not yet flourishing, so even though she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, Chloë Sevigny's development was not smooth, and she still couldn't get a good role.
The thing that impressed Eric the most about her before he traveled through time was that she publicly expressed her dislike for her cousin Jennifer Lawrence, saying that she was too pretentious.
You have to know that Jennifer Lawrence was at the peak of her popularity at that time. It shows her personality that she dared to say such things.
Suddenly, Chloë Sevigny grabbed Eric's hand and said, "Come with me. I have been in Park City for several days and I am very familiar with this place."
"Wait lady, is this how you always market yourself? This behavior makes you look like a gangster."
"So what? I don't care. After all, you are in my hands now."
"So what do you want to take me to eat?"
Chloë Sevigny winked at Eric: "Of course the most delicious thing."
"What?"
"I!"
