Chapter 972 Go to New York
Eric thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, let's be a model, go to New York, and I'll let Cindy take you personally."
Miranda Kerr was stunned for a moment, then shook her head quickly: "Eric, I'm not going to New York, I, I haven't graduated from high school."
"Giselle and Al both went out to work alone at the age of fourteen, and you are two years older than them."
Miranda Kerr finally realized that Eric was trying to distract herself. She was not stupid, so she could easily figure out the reason. She glanced at Scarlett Johansson beside her with some resentment. She got up and walked around the desk and wanted to pounce on Eric, but was blocked by Eric.
Eric blocked the girl who was about to fall into his arms, hugged her waist with both hands and gently lifted her, put the girl on the large desk in front of him, and said firmly: "Or, you can go back to Australia and continue It's okay to go to high school, I'll send you back now, your parents definitely want you to go back to Australia."
Miranda Kerr had just kicked off her shoes, and originally wanted to tease Eric with her two little feet, so that he could let go of his little mistake today. Hearing Eric say this, she suddenly became nervous. If she really goes back to Australia, who knows if Eric will take care of her in the future, or even, she may never have the chance to live the life she is now.
She looked at Eric pitifully for a while, and seeing that he had no intention of letting go, Miranda finally said, "Well, then I'll go to New York. But, Eric, what about my parents?"
Eric held down the girl's little feet that were still unwilling to scratch on his legs, and said, "It's up to you to convince them. If your parents don't agree, I'll have to send you back to Australia."
Miranda's parents are both soft-tempered people, and Eric doesn't believe that this will be a hindrance to what the girl in front of him is going to do.
Miranda Kerr saw that it was useless to take out her parents as shields. Taking advantage of Eric's inattentiveness, she jumped off the desk and jumped on him again, pleading like a kitten: "Eric, please forgive me. This time is good or not, I promise to be obedient in the future, and I will never bring strangers to you casually again."
"Don't make trouble. I'll let May arrange it for you later. Now, you can live with Gisele and the two of them in New York. Didn't you always like that house?"
"Eric..."
"I suddenly remembered that you have been using that Citi black card all the time, right? You may not need it if you work to make money in the future."
When Miranda Kerr heard this, she stopped pestering people and said quickly, "No, Eric, I will listen to you and go to New York."
Eric patted the girl's small waist and smiled: "This is my little baby, now, put on your shoes, you go back first."
Miranda Kerr put on her shoes diligently, leaned over and pecked on Eric's lips, and then walked out the door without even looking at Scarlett again. Although most of the things that came to Eric for the role today were Miranda herself wanting to show off her close relationship with Eric, but at this time, she naturally blamed all the faults on Scarlett.
Eric watched Miranda leave the office, picked up the landline microphone and explained what had just happened to Melanie, and then looked at Scarlett Johansson, who was sitting across the desk a little overwhelmed.
The girl in front of her looked almost fourteen years old, but compared to Miranda who was already like a goblin when she was fourteen years old, the current Scarlett Johansson did not have any of the amorous feelings of her later years, but at the same time she was separated from Lolita. It's a bit big to be a child star, and it's too small to be an adult actor, it seems a little embarrassing.
Noticing that Eric glanced at himself, he operated the computer on the desktop on his own, Scarlett Johansson didn't know if he should take the initiative to leave.
After hesitating for a moment, she still didn't move, waiting patiently for Eric's response. After all, judging from what happened just now, the friendship between her and Miranda Kerr was a complete breakup. If you leave now,
I'm afraid I'll never see the Hollywood super tycoon again.
A series of unattainable halos floated in the mind of the man who was only twenty-eight years old. Scarlet couldn't help but secretly glanced at Eric, who had a focused expression on the opposite side. It was the time when the girl's spring love was budding love. The age of fantasy, after watching it for a while, she couldn't help but be a little more fanciful.
It would be great if I had such a boyfriend.
It seems that when I heard that Drew was younger than himself when he was with him, he seemed to like little girls.
"I've seen it for you." After a while, he turned off an audition profile for "Horse Whisperer" sent by Fox. Eric raised his head and just spoke when he noticed that Scarlett was hiding shyly. The scene where he opened his eyes, smiled, and continued: "The age setting of the character Grace in "The Horse Whisperer" is thirteen years old. Although Kirsten's acting skills are good, she is too tall now. It is close to 170cm, and it is unlikely to play a thirteen-year-old girl again. Originally, Harvey very much hoped that Natalie Portman would play this role. Although she is one year older than Kirsten, her figure belongs to As a petite type, there is no problem with playing a 13-year-old girl. However, she has a "Star Wars" to be released at the end of the year, so, among the remaining young actors, your acting experience and audition effect are the best. There's a good chance of getting into this role."
Speaking of which, if Eric wants Scarlett to get the role, he just needs to say hi to Harvey.
However, he didn't do that. It wasn't because he didn't want to owe Harvey favors or something. The relationship between favors is that everyone owes each other to each other, which makes the relationship more intimate. Mainly because Eric didn't want to mess with the project too much. An art film with a production cost of $50 million is too likely to lose money in the future. Miramax has just been shackled by the parent company, which restricts the production of films with a budget of more than 50 million US dollars. If Eric intervenes at this time, if the project fails, it is impossible to guarantee that he will not end up complaining. People always have Habitually angry with others.
Scarlett Johansson nodded obediently. It was far beyond her expectations that Eric could talk to her so much, and she didn't dare to ask for anything more.
After thinking about it, the girl wisely found a very interesting topic and said, "Mr. Williams, I heard that Natalie Portman was picked up by you from the roadside?"
Eric nodded and joked: "Almost, I'm usually used to picking up girls from the side of the road to go home. It's the first time I've met someone like you."
Scarlett Johansson immediately lowered her head in embarrassment and said, "Well, Miranda said you, you would be happy to help, so we came together, Mr. Williams, don't be angry with Miranda, okay? "
"Okay," Eric agreed with a smile, reached out and turned off the computer, got up and said, "Let's go, I'm going back to work, just go home and wait for the good news."
"Well, thank you, Mr. Williams," Scarlett Johansson stood up and followed Eric out of the office.
Walking out of the office building, Scarlett Johansson obediently followed Eric. Seeing the studio employees who occasionally passed by greet Eric respectfully, she felt a little more envy and yearning in her heart.
All the way out of the administrative area, Eric stopped at the intersection of the studio area and said to the girl next to him: "Then, let's go here, do you need me to have someone take you home?"
"No, no," Scarlett Johansson shook her head, her toes pressed against the ground, hesitated, then raised her face to look at Eric, and said, "Mr. Williams, can I see you again in the future?"
"Of course, as long as you're still in Hollywood, there's definitely a chance."
"I mean," Scarlett's eyes flashed, and she said, "Mr. Williams, I, I can leave you a number, you can call me anytime."
Eric was a little surprised, looked at the girl in front of him, smiled and took out his mobile phone from his pocket: "Hey, enter the number yourself."
Scarlett didn't expect Eric to agree, and excitedly added her home phone number to Eric's phone address book, and added, "Mr. Williams, if I'm not filming, I'm basically at home at night. At that time, you can call me and say that you can find me."
"Okay," Eric nodded, took the phone from the girl's hand and put it in his pocket, "Then, goodbye."
"Goodbye," Scarlett replied. Although she said that, she stepped forward a little. Seeing that Eric didn't move, she waved her hand in disappointment, turned around and walked towards the exit of the studio.
As the Firefly Group becomes more and more powerful in Hollywood, the Playa Vista area has gradually become prosperous. Scarlett easily called a taxi outside the studio gate, told the driver to go to Beverly Hills, leaned back in the seat and recalled what had just happened, occasionally smirking a little.
Scarlett Johansson's home is in a residential area near the Los Angeles Country Club below Beverly Hills. Although it is a wealthy area, it is far from the real dignitaries who live in the middle of the mountain. Scarlett's father, Kastan Johansson, is an architect with a decent income and is actually the main financial support of the family. Her mother, Melanie Sloan, has a producer title, but according to the old saying, in Los Angeles, a billboard can fall and hit several producers. Melanie Sloan Basically, they rarely get any jobs, and most of the time they are just full-time housewives.
As soon as Scarlett entered the door, Melanie Sloan greeted her and asked expectantly, "Baby, have you seen Eric Williams?"
Nodding excitedly, Scarlett took a bite of an apple from the coffee table in the living room, and sat comfortably on the sofa with a pillow, and said, "I see, Mom, Mr. Williams said, I'm very hopeful. Get this role."
Melanie Sloan, seeing her daughter's excited look, originally thought it had been a success. Hearing her say this, she couldn't help frowning. Scarlett's remarks sounded like a formulaic perfunctory no matter how they sounded.
Scarlett noticed the expression on her mother's face, how could she not understand her thoughts. As a young girl who has begun to pay attention to personal privacy, she does not intend to tell her mother the details of everything today, but she affirms again: "Don't worry, Mom, anyway, unless something changes, I basically It's time to get the job."
"Silly daughter," Melanie Sloan smiled helplessly, sat down beside her daughter, and said, "Tell mom about the details of your meeting with Williams, and I'll analyze it for you."
"Oh, I won't tell you," Scarlett saw her mother ask, took off the pillow and got up and ran to her bedroom upstairs.
Walking into her bedroom, Scarlett locked the door and rushed towards her little bed. After tossing for a while, she raised her head from the pillow and looked at the small phone on the desk next to her. .
I don't know when he will call. Don't know what will happen then.
After thinking about it for a while, the girl suddenly jumped up again, walked into the bathroom, posed for a while beside the vanity mirror, and finally took off her clothes and carefully looked at the small body in the mirror.
Well, although he is nowhere near as good as Miranda, he is not as tall as her. However, after entrusting her bra, Scarlett was a little proud, and she must be much bigger than the little flat chested here.
After spending a few hours in her bedroom, remembering that today was the Oscars ceremony, Scarlett hurried downstairs and turned on the TV.
The Oscar red carpet ceremony has begun, but Scarlett didn't have much thought to envy the gorgeously dressed actresses on the red carpet today, but eagerly waited for a certain figure to appear. Without waiting for Eric, as his father got off work, his sister Vanessa and twin brother Hunter gradually returned home, and the house suddenly became lively.
Although Castan Johansson did not choose to enter Hollywood, because of Scarlett's grandfather and her mother's relatives and friends, the family is basically inextricably linked with Hollywood. Scarlett was originally born in New York, but for the development of several children in Hollywood, the Johanssons moved to Los Angeles a few years ago. Now, in addition to Scarlett, her brother and sister are all actors in Hollywood.
Therefore, watching the lively Oscar red carpet ceremony on the TV screen, the family's topic is naturally inseparable from the movie, and it is natural to start asking Scarlett about the results of today's audition for "The Horse Whisperer".
They all know that whether they can get this role means that Scarlett can really gain a firm foothold in Hollywood without relying on family connections. Although their family can have more resources to enter Hollywood than ordinary people, at the level of "Horse Whisperer", their connections basically can't play any role, and ultimately they have to rely on strength and luck.
Melanie Sloan didn't tell her husband and other children that she let her daughter go to Firefly Studios, but when Eric appeared after the camera at the end of the red carpet ceremony, everyone's topic still turned to Eric, Listening to the longing and envious discussions of her father and brothers and sisters, Scarlett, who had a little secret in her heart, was like a little fox secretly hiding a prey, but her eyes couldn't help but look more intently at the TV screen. Looking forward to every appearance of Eric more.
