Chapter 1013 What Do You Think
Kelly Russell got a page of the script, and after a little preparation, the assistant next to him began to read the lines: "Don't pay attention to him, my uncle is a very strange guy who likes to talk nonsense, he has the wrong person."
This is a scene where Peter Parker had a quarrel with someone after his supernatural awakening and was asked to be a parent and met Gwen Stacy.
Kelly Russell held the page of the script in front of her, her body swayed slightly because she was shy, but she joked, "So, you don't have a picture of me in your room?"
"Well, yes, I took a picture of the debate with you in it, so it's probably..."
Kelly Russell showed a slightly shy and mocking smile and chased after him: "What is it?"
"It's nothing, he must have seen me often, um, touch and touch."
Kelly Russell laughed: "Haha, touch... touch."
"Well, I don't think I can explain it."
Kelly Russell timely changed the subject and said, "So, have you been expelled from school?"
"No, no, just being punished for voluntary labor."
At this point in the conversation, Eric stopped.
This episode comes from the previous "The Amazing Spider-Man". After Eric proposed it, Cameron also found it very interesting and naturally added it.
It's just that compared to Sister Stone, Kelly Russell's performance is somewhat green. The styles of the two are also different. Sister Stone has a graceful temperament, but Kelly Russell is a bit more shy of the girl next door.
After selecting two more scenes for Kelly Russell to perform, Eric sent the other party away first and asked Cameron next to him: "What do you think?"
Cameron nodded slightly and said, "The image is very consistent with Gwen Stacy, but the acting is still a little green, and the temperament needs to be polished."
Eric said: "In fact, there is no way to do this. The male and female protagonists are all high school students, so the age of the actors has to be limited to around 20 years old. In this age group, Kirsten Dunst and Kai Li Russell and the others are already excellent actors who turned out to be child stars, but most of them don't have as much acting experience as them.
Cameron naturally saw that Eric felt good about Kelly Russell, and he was actually quite satisfied, saying, "Then let her enter the final round of candidates."
The two chatted for a while, and it was already lunch break. Everyone took a break and went to the restaurant on the big ship to eat together.
Firefly has prepared a free lunch for everyone who participated in the audition today and has not left at noon. The company will not be stingy with these small details.
However, Eric left the audition office with Cameron and others. Most of the girls in the corridor had not yet gone to the restaurant, obviously hoping to meet Eric and others.
Eric didn't dislike the girls' thoughts, and politely responded to a series of greetings.
Seeing Goldie Hahn's daughter, Kate Hudson, who is also a girl's best friend, was also waiting in the crowd and waved to herself expectantly, Eric smiled and said, "Kate, the time is just right, come with me to lunch Bar."
"Okay," Kate Hudson stepped out of the crowd and boldly held Eric's arm under the envy of the girls. Eric was still holding graffiti in her family's manor. Party, and Kate Hudson knew that Eric was actually a nice guy to get along with.
Feeling the girl adorning himself like a bird, Eric smiled and said, "Let's talk about it first, I won't be open to you in the afternoon audition."
"I never thought of it that way," Kate Hudson said with a wide smile. She didn't inherit her mother Goldie Hawn's American sweetheart temperament, but her genes were there and she looked good, so to speak. Then, Kate Hudson gently shook Eric's arm again and said, "Eric, you haven't been with Drew for a long time to play with everyone. How is this weekend?"
Eric was noncommittal and said, "It depends on the situation,
Whatever you want, just go to Drew. I'm not necessarily free. What about you, what are you doing recently? "
"Making a movie, a heroine made by herself, is quite boring."
"Heh, when those actors who don't necessarily get a decent role for a year or two heard what you said, they probably vomited blood. Since you don't like filming, why do you still want to play Gwen Stacy, you know, Jim's harshness can really make people vomit blood."
Eric said this, and Cameron on the other side was reluctant: "Eric, when did I force people to vomit blood?"
"I remember going to Mexico a few years ago to see the filming of Titanic, and someone jumped right off the side of the ship."
Cameron rolled his eyes and said, "That's obviously me."
Eric joked: "That's why I said that you are cruel enough to even let yourself go."
When Eric mentioned Cameron's embarrassment, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
After lunch, the auditions continued, with Eric and Cameron finalizing six candidates for the final round of auditions. Next, the final candidate for Gwen Stacy will be selected.
After a day's work, Eric rushed to Elizabeth and Julia's mansion on the top of Beverly Hills after get off work. Yesterday, Elizabeth called Eric to come over today, saying that there was something to discuss.
Taking the spare key on purpose, he opened the door and walked into the mansion villa. Eric found that Elizabeth and Julia had already arrived home, but Julia was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen like her little daughter-in-law, while Elizabeth was sitting leisurely in the living room. The sofa flips through a thick manuscript.
Julia ran out of the kitchen with a bang, hugged Eric, and then ran back again with a faint smell from the kitchen.
Eric ripped off his tie, and unbuttoned a button of his shirt. Seeing that Elizabeth on the sofa was still laid-back, she walked over with a smile, fending off a small foot in short stockings who was kicking over. Rick pressed the top of the mountain and pressed the girl under him.
The whole sofa sank sharply, Elizabeth screamed, pushed Eric who was riding on her, and said dissatisfiedly, "You bastard, it's so abominable."
Eric ignored the girl's complaint, instead found a more comfortable position, and then took the artwork she was looking at: "What is this, um, a plane?"
"The interior design of the Boeing I ordered with Julia has already started," Elizabeth pushed Eric again, seeing that he didn't move at all, so she had to give up, and said, "How about your progress?"
"I've also read the design draft, it's pretty good, it should be faster than you guys," Eric flipped through a few pages of the draft, put it aside, and said to Elizabeth, "Remember to install a big bed."
"Ah, you bastard, you know how to think about this all day."
Eric reached out and kissed Elizabeth's face, and said with a smile, "Hey, let me see if you want to."
Simo lingered for a while, and then did not do anything too outrageous, but both of them lay down on the double sofa.
Holding Elizabeth's slender waist, Eric asked, "By the way, didn't you say something happened yesterday?"
"If I say it's okay, don't you plan to come here?"
"Of course not," Eric shook his head without hesitation and said, "I planned to come over today."
"I believe you're hell, someone saw you eating with Goldie Han's daughter at noon."
"So, gossip is the worst thing," Eric laughed. "Obviously, your paparazzi's professional habits have become terminally ill. Didn't they tell you that Jim and Jon Landau were eating together. person?"
Elizabeth was not ashamed, and raised her chin: "It's so unprofessional. Of course, gossip news must be picked and heard by everyone."
Eric smiled, and by the way raised his hand and dropped a fifty cents on the hip of the girl next to him.
Elizabeth snorted with a ruddy face, and then said after a moment, "They are planning to hold a wedding next month. My dad should invite you. Hmm, you must be free next month, right?"
Saying that, Elizabeth also showed a threatening little look.
Eric knew that Elizabeth was talking about the wedding of Murdoch and a strange woman, and smiled: "I'm quite curious, maybe I can join in the fun at that time."
Elizabeth rolled her eyes and said in a savage tone, "Don't go."
Eric knew that Elizabeth was serious this time, so he took the initiative to compromise, it didn't matter whether he went to the wedding or not, he would definitely have a chance to meet him in the future: "Okay, okay, if you don't want me to go, I won't go. ."
The kitten that had just bristled immediately softened and pecked Eric's face with satisfaction. Elizabeth remembered a lot of recent news about America Online, and curiously inquired: "Eric, you really intend to Are all AOL stocks sold?"
Eric nodded and said again: "I really want to, but it's unrealistic to sell them all. Now America Online's stock price is too high, and there are not many people who are willing to take over. My plan is as long as it can be cashed out. A lot of money will do.
"
"I also feel that the Nasdaq may collapse one day. Many technology stocks are now trading at more than 100 times earnings. It's crazy. Julia and I have both liquidated our stock accounts at the end of last month. ."
Eric had some admiration on his face. It is rare to find someone who can resolutely let go of the stock during a period of rapid stock rise when he can't see the future at all. However, he still regretted saying: "It's too early to sell, if you can By the end of the year, the gains will definitely be more lucrative.”
"It's not necessarily," Elizabeth disagreed with Eric's point of view, saying: "Some people say that Yahoo's listing may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back. Wall Street's highest valuation of Yahoo has exceeded 50 billion. US dollars, but compared with other companies of the same market value, Yahoo's revenue can only be described as pitiful, and its profits are even less."
"Yahoo is still in the accumulation period, and the operating costs of Internet companies are actually not too high," Eric said: "When Yahoo completely becomes an industry giant whose strength is far superior to other similar manufacturers, everyone will be able to see the scale effect. stronger."
Elizabeth was a little puzzled: "Can't Yahoo be the number one giant in the Internet industry now?"
"Of course not. Currently, the main concept of Internet media such as portal sites has a very fatal weakness, that is, the model is very easy to copy. Since a large part of users also like to obtain different information from different portal sites, the portal site is used as the It is difficult for the Internet media group with the core business to form a Matthew effect in terms of scale, but it will continue to lose users, and naturally it is unlikely to achieve an oligarchic level.”
Elizabeth nodded thoughtfully and said, "However, the search engine you have been talking about shouldn't be that difficult in terms of technology. Many websites now have their own content retrieval systems."
"These are completely two concepts, what's more, what Yahoo wants to build is not a simple keyword search engine system, but a complete content search ecosystem, including image search, map search, music search and even the next few years. The video search system. As long as the search engine services provided by Yahoo have always been ahead of other competitors, users will gradually get used to this search engine tool, and the power of habit is powerful. Yahoo's technology appears, and it is difficult for the other party to steal too many users from Yahoo."
Eric was chatting with Elizabeth, and inadvertently raised his head, seeing that Julia had appeared on the other side of the two-seater sofa at some point, lying on the back of the sofa and looking down at the two of them.
Seeing that Eric finally noticed her, Julia said softly: "The topic of the two of you is really boring, and you have to keep talking about work when you go home."
"Hey, my fault," Eric turned over with a smile, stretched out his hand to Julia while lying on his back: "Come on, hug."
The little complaint just now disappeared from Julia's face, like a kitten that heard the call of her master, her eyes were watery, she turned over the back of the sofa and threw herself into Eric's arms.
"Ah, you've squeezed me, move away," Elizabeth, who was squeezed inside the sofa when Julia jumped into Eric's arms, suddenly felt a little bit of a snack, complained like a little girl, and stretched out her hand to push took a handful.
Because she was leaning against the back of the sofa, it was easy to borrow strength. Elizabeth only exerted a little force, and Julia immediately fell to the floor. By the way, she also took Eric, who subconsciously hugged her, down.
"Well, hum hum, it hurts, it's so comfortable, Liz, stay on the sofa alone, don't come down."
Elizabeth turned sideways, grabbed the pillow on the sofa and threw it to the two people on the ground: "I can't get down, I'm not sick."
"Wow, Eric, Liz, she said I was sick."
"Let her say it, normal people generally suspect that they have something wrong, and only patients like to say they are not sick."
"Hehe, Eric, I'm not sick."
"Well, but I still have to check it. Come on, let me touch it."
Elizabeth threw down a pillow on the sofa again, and stretched out her foot and kicked it down twice, looking like she couldn't bear it: "Wow, that's disgusting, I really want to kick the two of you out."
"Normal people, it's better for you to go out, but I will be contagious."
"I strangle you."
"Ah, I'm really weak."
