Chapter 118 Tango Girl
Eric also knows that behind this report, Lianmei must be at fault, suppressing and smearing competitors for their own interests. This kind of trick has almost been used in all walks of life, but this simple and rude method can be used every time. Play a good effect.
After having breakfast, putting Virginia's portion in the refrigerator, and saying goodbye to the girl who was still resting on the bed, Eric drove to Firefly. Today, there are still some actresses who need to audition.
As soon as he arrived at the company, he was dragged into the office by Geoffrey. He didn't need to ask, just look at the ambiguous eyes of several other employees in the company to know what was going on. "Los Angeles Times" is the most famous newspaper in Los Angeles. In this era when there is no Internet and information is mainly transmitted by paper media and television, the subscription rate of residents in the Greater Los Angeles area is still quite high. Therefore, Eric can be sure that, Everyone in the company must now know the news that appeared in the newspaper.
Facing Jeffrey's worried eyes, before the other party spoke, Eric quickly explained: "Jeffrey, I know, this is indeed my negligence. But Jennifer Connelly has rejected this role, so , When the list of characters is announced in the future, this rumor will definitely be self-defeating."
Jeffrey sighed and said, "Okay, Eric, I hope you know what you're doing, do you need to contact Kapoor and do some PR?"
Eric shook his head: "It's not necessary, this kind of explanation will be considered a cover up, and ignoring it is the best way to deal with it."
Jeffrey nodded, took out a document and handed it to Eric: "This is the final offer I negotiated with those sponsors based on your opinion. Except for Motorola, all others have been confirmed, with a total of 3.4 million US dollars. If you have no opinion, I will sign these contracts today."
Eric took it over and turned it over and read it again. Except for Motorola's $3 million big order, which will not be signed until Cruise and Hanks are finalized, everything else has been decided. The highest Lamborghini is $800,000. And the lowest Marvel Comics is only $100,000. In the movie, the robber Andy holds a portfolio of comics when he robs the financial company. There is only a glimpse of the portfolio, and $100,000 is not a small amount. Not sure if this ad will sell.
Seeing the name of Marvel Comics, Eric couldn't help touching his chin subconsciously. This is a big gold mine. It must be won before the other party sells character authorizations on a large scale in order to relieve financial pressure.
The two were talking when Alan Fissman knocked on the door of the office: "Mr. Hansen, Eric, it's audition time."
"I'll be right there," Eric responded, and Allen nodded and stepped out.
"Then I'm going to host the audition, Jeffrey, just sign the contract according to the above conditions. Have a good rest on the weekend, and start the scene of "Dark War" next week. It will definitely be very busy."
"I know," Jeffrey nodded, and then showed a grudge in his eyes: "As long as you don't come and harass me in the middle of the night."
Eric pouted, muttered, waved his hands and walked out of the office.
Perhaps because of seeing the news about the actor's default appointment in the Los Angeles Times, after the audition began, many consecutive audition actresses seemed absent-minded.
Eric is too lazy to remind the other party of anything, he can't seize the opportunity with the hope of just in case, and he can only blame himself if he misses it.
"Next, Miss Gabriel Anwar."
A petite woman about eighteen years old walked in,
Although wearing black high heels, the girl's height is still less than 1.7 meters.
"Hi, my name is Gabriel Anwar."
Eric carefully looked at the girl of the same age in front of him. She had a sharp nose, thick lips, and some Indian features. She should be a mixed race. Looking at the information in front of me, I didn't ask the girl to introduce herself according to the procedure, but asked, "Miss Anwar, are you here specially from England?"
The girl nodded, a charming smile on her thick lips: "I was born in Dersex, but I also grew up in London."
Eric smiled and knew that the girl was getting close to him. He also grew up in London until he was eight years old before moving to Los Angeles. Moreover, Eric himself still has British nationality. Williams is one of the five British surnames. Whether he likes it or not, he is destined to be included in the Hollywood circle of British descent.
"Then, Miss Anwar, the information shows that you have attended drama and dance school. Can you dance tango?"
The girl hesitated for a while, but shook her head: "No, but I have studied ballet for ten years. If necessary, I can learn tango in the shortest time."
Eric showed an admiring expression: "Miss Anwar, I like your frankness very much. But I don't think you are suitable for this role, so there is no need to audition."
The girl heard the first half of Eric's compliment, and before she had time to be happy, she heard the words behind Eric, and sat there for a while, a faint mist quickly formed in her big eyes, and she couldn't speak. Come.
When she saw the news of the actress audition for Eric Williams' new film released by Firefly, she sent her information with the mentality of buying an award ticket. She did not expect to receive an invitation to audition. The girl who was ecstatic It took a long time to persuade her old-fashioned father to come to Los Angeles alone to participate in this audition. Unexpectedly, the other party rejected her without even giving him a chance to perform. This blow made her feel sad and wanted to cry.
"Oh, no," Eric was about to lower his head and write something, but when he saw the girl's reaction, he quickly waved his hand: "Miss Anwar, don't do this, I haven't finished speaking yet."
The girl's tears almost fell. Hearing Eric's words, he wiped the corner of his eyes, but raised his head embarrassedly. Eric gave a look from the assistant beside him, and the other party hurriedly sent a box of tissues to An in front of Val.
Carefully wiping the corners of his eyes, Gabriel took out the vanity mirror in his bag and looked at it before he dared to raise his head again: "I'm sorry, Director Williams, I've lost my way."
"It's my fault," Eric was still quite afraid of women crying, and quickly took the responsibility on himself: "I didn't make it clear just now, I know, you are only eighteen years old, and it's not that you came all the way from England to audition. An easy thing to do."
"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Williams."
"That's it, Miss Anwar, the reason I just asked you if you could dance the tango is because you're a good fit for a role in another movie I'm working on, starring Al Pacino, Do you know Al Pacino?"
Gabriel nodded: "Of course, I have watched "Scent of a Woman" directed by you many times in the UK. Mr. Pacino's personable Edward is very charming."
"That's good, Al lacks the role of a tango girl in the next movie, and is also the first heroine in that movie, and I fell in love with you at a glance, if you can play that role well, I believe It's definitely more helpful to your career than being the heroine in my movie."
Gabriel originally auditioned with the mentality of winning again. She has only acted in a few TV dramas in the UK, so she didn't have much hope. The reason for the collapse just now was because Eric vetoed without any warning, allowing her to accept it for a short time.
Now suddenly hearing this good news, the girl is falling into a dream again. After "Fengyue", Al once again became an A-level superstar that swept the world. He was able to play even a small supporting role in the movie he starred in. Gabriel Will jump up happily, not to mention the first heroine.
"Mr. Williams, I really don't know how to thank you." The girl put her hands on her chest and said excitedly.
Eric finished what he was about to write, asked the assistant to hand it to the girl, and smiled: "Miss Anwar, don't be too happy, although I do have the right to decide the role of the movie, but I still have to think about it. Al and director Martin Brest's opinion, you have a week or so to prepare, and then if you're too bad, then I can only say sorry."
"I will try my best," Gabriel said, taking the note, looking at the string of numbers and a few words on it, and asking, "Mr. Williams, what is this?"
"UTA, oh, it's the call of Mr. Kapoor Sheed, CEO of United Elite Agency, you need to call him and ask him to arrange a temporary agent for you, help you find a dance teacher, and accept a week of tango Step training. If after a week, your performance is approved by Al and Martin, then you need to join UTA, Miss Anwar, would you?"
Being able to stay in Hollywood is the dream of many foreign actors, and Anwar nodded without hesitation: "Of course, I would."
Gabriel Anwar was purely an accident. Eric had no intentions of this girl of the same age as him, but the other party happened to be the tango girl in the original "Scent of a Woman", Anwar and Al Passy Nuo's tango can be called the finishing touch in "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman".
Since the other party can appear here several years in advance, it can be regarded as a fate, Eric will go with the flow, presumably the girl's performance will not disappoint him.
After sending Gabriel away, Eric let go of the next document and glanced at it: Brooke Shields
Oh, another Hollywood legend beauty.
Compared to Jennifer Connelly's innocence, and the beauty of Brooke Shields who walked into the audition room later, in Eric's opinion, it was a bit more aggressive. However, from the bright eyes of several staff members around him, Eric understood that the appearance of Bo Ji Xiaosi, who is said to have the noble blood of the four countries, is obviously more in line with the aesthetics of Westerners, otherwise he would not be jokingly called 'the first The Eight Wonders' too.
