Chapter 124 122 A Good Man Should Pursue a Career!

Chapter 124 A good man should pursue a career!

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

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

Crossing his legs and leaning on the leather seat, Eric laughed and said, "Too busy. I have 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 and making a phone call. When she heard Eric's words, she rolled her eyes.

What the hell is an urgent business! An urgent business is to let you play that kind of game with a woman in a high-end restaurant?

When Liu Xiaoli thought of the picture of that gorgeous white woman coming out from under the table and licking her fingers, she felt nauseous, and then her ears felt a little hot.

That night in Huaxia, Liu Xiaoli felt very bold to come to the door alone in the middle of the night, but now she knows that it is nothing.

This little man is too wild, and he 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 finally met Eric Cooper, and she couldn't let him get rid of her and her daughter easily.

That night, she had unlocked all the postures for you, but only exchanged for a few verbal promises, which made Liu Xiaoli, who thought she was smart, feel fooled.

She said gently: "It doesn't matter, I know you are very busy, so let's go to Los Angeles with Feifei to find you. Anyway, we have nothing to do, so we can take it as a trip and take a look."

"You still have to come!" Eric said in a somewhat unhappy tone.

"What? Is it inconvenient?"

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

"Hehe, I know you are a busy person, I won't bother you. If we have time, we can meet. If we don't have time, we can take it as a trip to relax. Anyway, I won't make it difficult for you."

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

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

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

But she had given it to the other party last time. This time, if she wants to attract Eric Cooper's interest, she must use her trump card.

Back to the living room, looking at her daughter who was laughing with her cousin, she felt inexplicable in her heart.

"Alas! My daughter, for your future, mom has given up this face and even this body."

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

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

Zhou Wenqiong looked carefully: "This photo seems to be taken when traveling abroad. I don't remember the details. I didn't dare to wear it in China at that time. I 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 to say that I am the ugliest in my family. I'm so annoying."

Liu Xiaoli also came over: "Your aunt used to be the flower of Zhuhai Film Studio and 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 first-class actress in China now."

"Of course, you are so beautiful, aunt, I remember you were a calendar girl before." Liu Yifei also urged.

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

"But it's not possible now. I'm old and my skin is wrinkled. Just like a calendar, it will be eliminated over time."

Liu Yifei hugged Zhou Wenqiong's thin waist: "What are you talking about, auntie, look at your figure, you are slimmer than me. You are like my mother, dress up and put on makeup, you are more beautiful than many stars."

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

"It's from martial arts practice. It's okay. It will go away in a few days."

Zhou Wenqiong glared at Liu Xiaoli: "Sister, can't you be more careful? You hurt your body by practicing dance. I think it's better to let Feifei practice yoga with me."

"Auntie, it's not dance, it's martial arts." Liu Yifei giggled.

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

Liu Yifei nodded: "Someone told me that if you 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't he contact Sony Columbia? Do you still need to learn martial arts from scratch? You are not a child, how tiring it is to learn kung fu."

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

Hearing Eric's name, Zhou Wenqiong 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 Broadway Harzon Theater.

But although she has been working in the theater for nearly seven years, her Chinese identity has always been an obstacle and she can't get to the top.

The salary is okay, but I don't have much power.

Looking at Liu Xiaoli with some surprise, Zhou Wenqiong secretly sighed that her sister was really powerful. How did she get on this ship? It was an international giant ship.

"How do you know Eric Cooper? He is an upstart in Hollywood. It is rumored that although his father, Charlie Cooper, is the helmsman of MGM, he is actually the one who really controls the production power of MGM."

As soon as Liu Yifei told what happened in China, Zhou Wenqiong suddenly understood.

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

My sister has no background in the United States, so why do people treat Feifei so differently?

Just with a face? Are there few beauties around him? There's definitely a price to pay.

You can imagine what the cost is.

"Feifei, let's go to Los Angeles in two days to see what Hollywood really looks like."

Liu Yifei hummed obediently.

After hesitating for a while, Zhou Wenqiong said: "Sister, if it is convenient, can you help me introduce you?"

Before Liu Xiaoli spoke, Liu Yifei, who didn't understand the situation, agreed: "Cousin, then you can come with us."

Zhou Wenqiong looked at Liu Xiaoli, she knew that children could not make the decision.

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

"Nothing specific, but Hollywood and Broadway have always been indistinguishable from each other. Good Broadway plays will be put on the big screen, and excellent Hollywood movies will also be adapted into stage plays. If you can get to know a big man like Eric Cooper, Maybe it will be useful.”

"Will it help your career?"

"I don't know, but whether there is 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 busy man."

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

Eric lamented more and more that he was such a busy man, if only there would be more women in the future.

Let alone whether the body can handle it, even the time cannot be missed.

If you surpass Lord Wei one day, you can only cut him into pieces.

There is a solution. Why don't you all sleep together? It saves me running around, but it's a bit difficult to implement, ridiculously high.

That is to say, the Olsen sisters are in a special situation. If he dares to make this request to others, he is guaranteed to get a punch in the face.

He didn't want to see Liu Xiaoli because he was too lazy to cause trouble, but there were some similar reasons. If he did meet her, there was a high probability that he would not be able to escape a catastrophe.

"Boss, I already have a target for the house you want me to find. I have selected 3 more suitable ones. Do you want to take a look?"

"It's not necessary. It's up to you to choose. This is my personal card."

Eric said nonchalantly, the house was not for him to live in anyway, so what’s so good about it!

But after thinking about it, I felt it was troublesome, so I simply said: "Stop choosing, just buy all three buildings."

Chen Xing took the card, and he and Peter were secretly surprised. It seemed that his boss was doing a lot of things behind his back.

One is not enough to hide the beauty in the golden house, but I want three. I'm afraid I won't want ten or eight in the future.

After arriving at their destination and sending the two of them away, Eric knocked on the door.

His natural response was Gadot's passionate kiss. As a result of filming, they didn't see each other for a week. Gadot, who had just completed her evolution from a girl to a woman, had long missed Eric.

The two of them completely ignored Judy and Refaeli who were watching TV in the living room and started kissing passionately as if no one else was around.

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

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

If a girl invites you, you can't refuse.

He didn't know if it was because of the disgusting drink given by Sergey, but he felt that his energy had regained a lot.

He picked up Gadot and walked towards the bedroom.

"Wait a minute Eric, "The Walking Dead" has reached its sixth episode, why doesn't Refaeli appear?" Judy asked.

"It's not like I cut the film, it should be the next episode, Darabont seemed to have said."

boom!

The door was 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 expected, Gadot bought several sets for him as a spare.

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

Peter was already driving downstairs and waiting: "Boss, do you want to go to the set?"

"No, go back to the company."

Recently, my body has been hollowed out by these women, and I am getting thinner and thinner day by day.

This decadent trend must be stopped, and good men must pursue careers!

On the way, he called Andrea and told her to take over the crew first and that he would not be able to go there for the time being.

At present, the Olsen sisters have entered the state. Their acting skills in other types of movies may still be awkward, but at least this one is absolutely amazing.

Moreover, half of the emotional scenes, which require more acting skills, have been completed. It will be no problem for Andrea to lead the daily scenes. Her attentiveness and emotional capturing ability are enough to handle it.

For the rest of the explosive scenes, you can wait until you have time to do it yourself.

Today I have two more important tasks, meeting with the Silicon Valley gang, and "The Purge" will be released today.

In the MGM building, in the conference room, a group of different people were sitting at this time. Some of them wore suits and ties, but most of them wore casual clothes, which was a bit out of place in the film industry.

Many employees were wondering what these people were doing, and then it came out that they were technicians from Silicon Valley.

Hearing that they were doing technical research, it was not strange no matter what they wore.

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

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

These three people are Eric's team, among which Fitz Heisenberg is responsible for Facebook development.

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

Robert Mirren is responsible for the development of MGM's streaming platform, which Eric temporarily named Lionheart Network.

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

This number is absolutely rich for a startup team.

To put it in a metaphor, it is equivalent to equipping Li Yunlong with over-staffed American equipment. Not to mention Ping'an County, he can even make a breakthrough in Tokyo.

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

Eric's salary for them is 30% higher than the market price on average, and bonuses are not included.

And he rented a three-story spacious office building in Silicon Valley, with three teams occupying one floor each, all equipped with the most advanced hardware equipment on the market.

In order to do this well, he directly spent 10 million US dollars at the beginning, and in the past few months, he has burned almost 3 million.

Eric has only one requirement, that is, fast, to get what he wants out as quickly as possible and quickly put it on the market.

He is not sure when Netflix and YouTube entered the market, but Facebook is very clear that it was in early 2004.

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

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

Zuckerberg was just messing around in his Harvard dormitory at the beginning, a small project between a few young people, and the first round of angel investment was only 500,000 US dollars.

You can imagine that Facebook was very weak in its early days.

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

In addition to Facebook, there is also Myspace, which is known as the ancestor of social networks, and it has not yet been launched.

Eric is not worried about it. You couldn't even beat the up-and-coming star at the beginning, let alone today, if you dare to come out, you will be crushed to death!
