Chapter 61 62. What a good person
"Get down on your knees! Stick your butt out!"
At Eric's command, Chloƫ Sevigny rolled her eyes at him.
Then there was a fierce bombardment, and the latter seemed to have all his strength drained away, and he rolled his eyes.
After getting dressed, Eric walked out of Sweetwater Manor.
It was 7pm, the sun sets early in the winter, and it was already dark outside, making the colorful lights on the street seem even brighter.
When we arrived at the film festival venue, although it was already evening, it was still bustling here. After all, watching movies at night is the right atmosphere.
After charging, I turned on my phone which had been turned off for several days, and what caught my eye were countless text messages and missed calls.
He coughed a few times, chose one of them and called back: "Hey! Sergey, what's going on? Why did you call me so many times?"
Excited shouts immediately came from the other side, and it could be heard that Sergei was trying hard to suppress his anger.
"Eric Cooper, you finally answered the phone, tell me where you are!"
"I'm in Park City for the Sundance Film Festival. Didn't you know? I was interviewed by the media a few days ago."
Crunching Eric could already hear the other party's gnashing of teeth.
"Yes, I know you are in Park City, location, I want the exact location."
"What's up man? You don't sound happy. Well, let me see. It's Whale Rider. I'm in the Whale Rider movie theater."
Sergei said hurriedly: "Don't move, wait for me there, I'll be there soon!"
Eric waited for less than ten minutes before he saw Sergei Hassenfeld and a few others running towards him quickly.
"He's not going to hit me, is he? I don't think he would dare to do that in public!"
Pulling his cheeks together, clown-like, Eric put on a big smile, stood up from his chair and waved.
"Here, I'm here!"
Seeing Eric, several people seemed to have found their target. They instantly accelerated and rushed to him, then surrounded him from all sides.
Sergey's eyes were bloodshot, and he asked in a cold tone: "Eric Cooper, you really made it easy for me to find you. Why didn't you answer the phone? Where have you been hiding?"
"I'm hiding? What are you hiding from? I've been in Park City these past few days."
"Then why can't I find you? I've searched almost everywhere here."
Eric smiled awkwardly: "I have a date with some female celebrities, so I can't go out in public, so I have been staying in the resort for the past few days. I don't want to be disturbed, so I turned off my phone."
"The president is going to take a vacation. I've been busy for several months. What's wrong with relaxing for a few days? You look bad, are you sick?"
In an instant, Sergei felt as if a bolt of lightning struck his head. He had been scolded like a dog by that old man for the past two days. He couldn't even sleep, and this bastard in front of him was actually having fun with a female star.
He really wanted to punch this guy in the face.
But he couldn't! He had to hold it back!
"Don't you know what happened? Because of your interview, Hasbro's stock price is continuing to fall. You have caused us so much trouble!"
"What! Impossible, I just said a few words."
At this moment, Sergei was so angry that he couldn't tell whether Eric was pretending to be stupid or was really stupid, and he didn't have time to tell the difference.
He yelled in frustration, "Are you crazy? Why did you announce yourself as a director? You don't understand!"
Seeing that he was anxious, Eric also put on an anxious expression: "What! I didn't say such a thing, I said I would participate in the guidance, but it was just a figurehead. The real director is of course not me!"
"These damn reporters, they misinterpreted my meaning. And those people in the company, they also got it wrong. They are a bunch of people who only know how to flatter. I will ask them to get out when I get back!"
Seeing the determined expression on the young man in front of him, Sergei didn't bother to investigate further. He took his hand and walked towards the main theater.
"Wait, what is this for?"
"Nonsense, of course we should clarify it quickly, make the truth public, and bring the stock price back up!"
In the main theater, the movie had just ended. Compared to "Lelan's America", there were many more media gathered here.
After the film's main creators thanked and left, Sergei dragged Eric to perform the scene of occupying the magpie's nest again.
Compared with those unknown small directors and actors, reporters were obviously more interested in this MGM dignitary.
"Yes, there are other directors for Transformers besides me. This is a huge and complex movie. I can't complete it alone. You shouldn't misinterpret what I mean."
Among the media below, several were the ones who interviewed Eric the day before yesterday. They were also surprised to hear what he said. Did we hear it wrong?
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Without giving the reporters a chance to ask further questions, Eric turned the topic to movies.
"Hasbro is a great company. They will also send someone to assist MGM in designing the Transformers that appear in the movie. They are very professional in this regard, and the audience will see a brand new version!"
A reporter immediately raised his hand and asked, "Mr. Eric, you mean that the Transformers in the movie are different from those in the animation. Is that correct?"
"Yes, movies use more sophisticated technology. We will redesign every part of every Autobot. They will have rich expressions and exaggerated and cool transformation movements. They will be more domineering and full of vitality."
"In fact, the concept sketches have already been designed. MGM will release a video on its official website so that everyone can appreciate the style of the Autobots and Decepticons."
"Okay, that's all I have to say!"
After speaking briefly and not giving the reporter a chance to ask any more questions, Eric left.
"Okay, according to what you said, I think it won't be a problem now."
Sergey's eyes were still bloodshot and red. "It's not clear yet. The market is closed today. We won't see the effect until tomorrow."
"Can I go now?"
"No! You have to stay with me. I will never let you leave!"
Eric was speechless: "Sergey, you'd better not speak in that tone. People around us are looking at us."
"You don't have to let me leave. Then let's go together. Look at what you look like now. Your lips are pale, your eyes are red, and you have bad breath. Did you not brush your teeth?"
Sergei took a step back and covered his mouth. As a man of status, he felt a little embarrassed to be told that he had bad breath.
Eric didn't care and put his arm around his shoulders: "Come on, you need to relax. I'll treat you tonight!"
Being treated like a dog by the old immortal above your head, and then looking at the young man in front of you.
It was a bit like Stockholm, and Sergei was suddenly moved, with tears in his eyes.
"He's quite nice!"
