Chapter 555: No Strategy Yet

There was only one wall lamp turned on in the living room of the villa, Spanish voices came from the TV, and the couch was facing the door. Eric saw a Spanish girl curled up on the sofa and stared at the TV screen intently, with a hand still in her hand. Holding a bag of potato chips, he shoved a slice into his mouth from time to time, making the rattling sound of mice gnawing. ⊙,

"Hi, Kitty," Eric greeted as he approached the sofa.

The Spanish girl turned her head and suddenly saw Eric, her eyes suddenly widened, her little nose twitched, she smelled the alcohol on Eric's body, she shrank back even more, holding a bag of potato chips' Guard' on the chest.

Eric also felt that something was wrong, but he thought that maybe it was because he drank more wine tonight. He shook his head instinctively, but it caused a dizziness. He couldn't help sitting down on the sofa and put his arms around him. The girl next to her placed it on her lap with a slight force.

"Sorry, Penny, I accidentally drank a little more," Eric pulled out the bag of potato chips that the girl was still holding in his hand, and threw it on the coffee table, and kissed the girl on the lips.

The girl who was originally sluggish felt Eric's movements, her face immediately became extremely hot, her eyelashes blinked a few times, and the girl recovered from this series of sudden situations. At this time, she also recognized Ai. Rick, shyly put his hands in front of Eric to prevent the man from continuing to move, and said in jerky English: "Williams, sir, I'm not, Penny, I'm Monica."

"What did you say?" Monica Cruz's accent was a little heavy, and Eric, who was still dizzy, couldn't hear it clearly for a while.

Monica was about to explain when a voice sounded: "Monica, I just heard the sound of a car outside, is it Eric... ah!"

Penelope came down from the second floor and walked to the stairs, just to see his sister sitting on Eric's lap with a shy face, and suddenly let out a soft cry of surprise.

Eric turned his head and saw Penelope standing at the entrance of the stairs, still wearing a black dress in the afternoon. Looking at the girl in a white nightdress in his arms, he remembered that Penelope mentioned her in the afternoon. My sister is in Los Angeles. The two girls look so similar that although a closer look can tell they are two people, Eric has a hard time telling the difference in the appearance of the two sisters.

Looking at Penelope, who was surprised at first and then looked a little weird at the entrance of the stairs, Eric subconsciously held Monica's waist. He picked up the girl and put it aside, and said, "I said why it feels a little light, it turned out to be my sister."

Monica Cruz looked confused, but Penelope burst out laughing, ignoring the slightly embarrassed Eric. Walking to the sofa and whispering in her sister's ear, Monica nodded shyly, stood up, said good night to Eric, and ran to the second floor.

When Monica's figure disappears,

Penelope imitated his sister just now, sitting on Eric's lap, hugging Eric's neck, pretending to be dissatisfied and saying, "Eric, do you think I'm a little fat?"

Penelope did not mention the oolong just now. Eric would not take the initiative to lift it up, caressing the girl's soft waist, and said, "Yes, but I think women are a little more fleshy."

Penelope followed Eric's strength and put the sticker on the man, leaned into his ear and asked teasingly, "What does it feel like?"

"I'm a little drunk, and I can't remember it for a while. I won't know until I try it."

"Then try it," Penelope leaned over and bit Eric's ear lightly, and whispered, "It's here."

...

Thinking of some sounds she heard at the entrance of the stairs last night, Monica Cruz couldn't sleep well all night. Monica Cruz was originally in awe and curiosity about her sister's man. She had heard of a series of miracles that Eric had created more than once in Spain. But that little oolong last night somehow transformed the awe and curiosity in the girl's heart into something else unknown.

Go to school during the day. Although she didn't sleep well at night, Monica got up on time, remembering that Eric must still be here, she stood by the closet and hesitated for a while before picking a pink dress to wear, although she still had to wear it to school school uniform. But she felt that it would be good for him to see it even if it was only worn for a while.

Walking out of the bedroom, the corridor on the second floor was very quiet, and the door of Penelope's room next to it was still closed. She thought that her sister must have not woken up, so she went downstairs to prepare breakfast in disappointment.

When they came downstairs, Monica saw Eric busy in the kitchen, and there was a faint smell of cereal in the air.

Hearing the sound behind him, Eric, who was making omelettes, turned around. This time he didn't admit his mistake. The two sisters were indeed very similar, but they were very different in temperament. Penelope brought There is a wild charm, but Monica does not have this kind of aura.

After saying good morning, Eric knew that Monica didn't know much English, and asked slowly, "Is Penny up?"

Monica felt comfortable talking to Eric in a deliberately slow tone, and said obediently, "Not yet." After saying this, Monica added in a mysterious way: "She often sleeps late."

After saying this, Monica noticed the joking smile on Eric's face, and immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, secretly regretting that she shouldn't have said that.

"Then we'll leave her alone, help me get the cereal out, and let's have breakfast first," Eric said, pointing to the side.

Although Monica still didn't understand some words, she was very clear about Eric's gestures, and hurriedly stepped forward, took out two small bowls from the cupboard, and poured out the fragrant oatmeal.

After dividing two breakfasts, the two walked to the restaurant next to them. After sitting down, Eric looked at the empty right hand side. There used to be a stack of newspapers here, even in Europe.

"Have you ordered a newspaper?"

Monica raised her head, confused for a few seconds before she remembered the meaning of the word 'newspaper': "Yes, I'll get it."

After a while, Monica walked back to the restaurant with a few newspapers and handed them to Eric.

Penelope didn’t have many newspapers, most of which were women-oriented newspapers, and two gossip tabloids. Fortunately, Eric found a copy of the Los Angeles Times among them, and this time he had it at hand.

Monica nibbled at breakfast very reservedly, and looked up at Eric unintentionally from time to time.

Eric turned a page of the newspaper. Asked: "Today is Wednesday, do you still have to go to school?"

"Yes," Monica immediately focused on hearing Eric speak. He also said the name of a private school that Eric didn't understand at all, and it sounded like Spanish.

Chatting casually, Penelope didn't get up until after breakfast. Eric remembered that Penelope said there was nothing to do today. He didn't even wake her up.

Monica ate breakfast, took the initiative to clean up the tableware, and went back to the room. After a few minutes, she came out wearing a school uniform with a schoolbag in her hand.

"very beautiful."

Eric, who was opening the Los Angeles Times in the living room, saw Monica wearing a white sleeveless shirt and a red and black plaid skirt in front of him, and praised politely. Speaking of school uniforms, relatively In other words, Eric prefers Japanese girls' sailor uniforms, while the school uniforms of American middle school students are relatively more serious.

"Thank you. Eric, then I'll go," Monica waved her hand, and after getting a response, pushed the door and walked out.

Eric looked at his watch, the time should be about the same, he left a note for Penelope, rolled up the "Los Angeles Times" that he hadn't read yet, walked out of the Spanish girl's villa, and planned to go to the company's car. Continue reading.

The driver was already waiting on the side of the road in front of the villa at this time, and the lights were dimmed last night. At this time, Eric saw the front of the villa, and his line of sight crossed a lawn and a gentle slope, and there was an endless blue sea. He could faintly hear the sound of the waves lapping. and. The road in front of the villa is exactly the same shape. There are no buildings on both sides. The security is very good. If you want to be more concealed, you can build a wall. It seems that the Spanish girl has spent a lot of time. Of course, these careful thoughts cost money. It's only 1993. There are not many luxury homes worth close to one million dollars in Santa Monica. At this time, most homes in Santa Monica will not exceed thirty Ten thousand U.S. dollars.

Eric looked left and right, and Monica had disappeared. The school bus in American schools was very convenient. Eric didn't care how the girl would go to school. He got into his Bentley commercial van and told the driver in the front row to drive.

The car drove forward for dozens of meters. After turning, Eric accidentally raised his head and saw Monica standing quietly at the fork, asking the driver to stop. Eric rolled down the window and waved to the girl: " Do you want me to take you to school?"

Monica originally said that the school bus would come soon, but looking at Eric's gentle smile, the girl's heart throbbed slightly, and she hummed softly. Eric pushed open the car door, moved inward, let Monica sit next to him, asked for the school's address, and the car started again.

Monica's school is not too far away. In less than ten minutes, the car stopped at the entrance of a private middle school. Although the United States is a country on wheels, the Bentley is still unattainable for many ordinary people. Moreover, Santa Monica is not a rich area like Beverly Hills. Most of the students here Only the children of middle-class families. After the car stopped, many middle school students walking towards the school gate frequently looked towards Eric's car. Some students even stopped, as if to see who would come out of the car.

After all, she's just a 16-year-old girl with a simple mind. Feeling the gazes from the car window, Monica's little vanity is greatly satisfied, and her eyes looking at Eric have more meanings. .

"Just come here, I won't get out of the car, I will be recognized," Eric reached out and crossed the girl in front of her to help her open the door on the other side.

Feeling that Eric's arm touched her inadvertently, Monica didn't dodge this time. She said thank you shyly, hesitated for a while, and suddenly came over and kissed Eric's face before she escaped. Also got out of the car.

Eric smiled and touched the cheek that had just been attacked, thinking that he didn't have a strategy yet, and the dungeon was already 90% complete.

Putting aside some small evil thoughts in his heart, Eric picked up the schoolbag pulled by the girl next to him and handed it to the driver in the front row: "Send it to Miss Cruz."

...

Negotiations in Paris on the division of the shares of DreamWorks Films came to a final result in the last three days. Firefly Pictures took 30% of the shares and became the largest shareholder of the production company. Some European film capitals divided the remaining 55%, and finally MGM Pictures acquired 15% of the shares through equity swaps. At the same time, DreamWorks Corporation held nearly 9% of MGM's shares.

After the final plan was released, MGM Pictures once again started to publicize it with great fanfare. However, the management of MGM Pictures once again played small tricks and did not disclose the specific terms of the equity exchange between the two parties. MGM holds a 15% stake in DreamWorks Studios, the second-largest shareholder after Firefly.

Affected by this good news, in just one week, MGM's share price rose by 11%, and a lot of interested capital also appeared in the MGM Studios shares in the hands of the Lyon Credit Bank that had no interest. , But at this time, the Lyon Credit Bank is no longer in a hurry to sell, even if in the next three years of cooperation, DreamWorks Studios appeared a film with half the box office performance of the current "Jurassic Park", MGM Pictures. The market value of the company will continue to rise. At that time, the Lyon Credit Bank will choose the right time to shoot again, and even make all the losses of hundreds of millions of dollars in the early stage, and maybe even realize some profits.

After the DreamWorks contract was confirmed, Eric also began to lead the preparations for the production of Charlie's Angels.

At the same time, Eric also began to make frequent appointments with several major Hollywood agencies to select suitable scripts for DreamWorks' remaining eight film plans except "Charlie's Angels" and "Resident Evil".

It is the first time that Eric has publicly selected scripts on a large scale. Although it is not for Firefly Pictures itself, the script agents of the three major brokerage companies have broken through the threshold of the copyright department of Firefly Pictures in just a few days. The high-quality projects to be developed have been sent to Eric, which is dazzling and makes many independent film companies who want a good script but cannot watch it. (To be continued.)
