Chapter 761 I Don't Like Japan
As soon as Eric entered the seaside villa, Drew brought Amy Pascal, Frank Macasso and others to greet him.
MGM's ostensibly largest shareholder is Drew, but almost everyone knows that the studio is actually still controlled by Eric. This can be seen from the fact that MGM's celebration party was chosen at Point Point Manor tonight.
Greeting Drew and several MGM executives who were in charge of the party tonight, Eric saw Tom Hanks walking over with a woman in her thirties, greeted him warmly, and talked to the other party. He hugged and said, "Tom, it's nice to see you. I didn't expect you to come so early."
"I came over in advance with Drew and the others to discuss the PR for the "Forrest Gump" awards," Hanks explained, and then introduced the woman beside him: "This is my wife, Rita Wilson."
"Hello, Ms. Wilson," Eric greeted the other party with a smile, and said to Hanks: "With the influence of "Forrest Gump", I think you will definitely create an Oscar miracle this year."
"Forrest Gump" has been released for nearly half a year, and the total box office has already exceeded 300 million US dollars. However, the film is still being shown in more than 1,000 theaters in North America, especially in December. With the advent of the awards season, the topic of "Forrest Gump" in the media has been heated up again, and it has already begun. The sluggish box office rebounded again, reaching the scale of two or three million dollars per week. Two or three million dollars in weekly box office is not worth mentioning for a new movie, but it is very important for a film that has been in theaters for nearly six months. For the movie, it's a miracle.
With its high popularity and word-of-mouth, there is no doubt that this film will be nominated for this year's Golden Globe and Oscar major awards.
Therefore, the most talked about topic in the media recently has been Tom Hanks' Oscar nomination for Best Actor.
Last year, Tom Hanks just won the Best Actor award for "Saving Private Ryan." Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible for an actor who has already won the golden statue to win another award after only one year, but the influence of "Forrest Gump" is really too great, and the image of the actor Forrest Gump is almost impossible. It has been rendered as a symbol of American spirit, coupled with the strong support of film critics and Olympic judges themselves, although this year's Oscar nominations have not been announced, but most of the media have begun to discuss Tom Hanks winning the most consecutive award. The possibility of a good actor.
"Oh, I hope so too." Hearing Eric's words, Hanks also smiled with some longing and said.
There are not many actors who have won the two best protagonist statues in the history of the Oscars, but if they win the same award for two consecutive years, his name will be destined to be recorded in the entire history of Hollywood movies. This honor is not something that everyone can enjoy. .
The two chatted for a while, and Eric greeted the other guests who had already arrived. He was about to go upstairs to take a shower and change his clothes when a timid female voice came from behind.
"Hi, Eric..."
Eric turned around and saw Christina Aguilera standing behind him. The girl was wearing a knee-length pink dress. Eric vaguely remembered that this was the Chanel style that the girl once wore. Although Christina was tall I don't mean to grow taller, but wearing this expensive little dress also gives people a slim feeling.
After sizing the girl up and down, Eric smiled and nodded,
Speaking carefully, Christina, who was still a girl at this time, looked more like the girl next door than Britney. It's a pity that in the original time and space, Christina, who also walked the "Britney Sweet" route, couldn't compete with Britney.
After admiring for a moment with satisfaction, seeing the shy look on the girl's somewhat restrained face, Eric asked, "Christy, why are you here?"
"I, um..." Christina pinched on the little dress and said, "I'm here to help Drew organize a party together."
"Oh," Eric smiled and said without looking into it, "Drew should go to the kitchen, you can go there, I'll change clothes before the party starts."
"Well," Christina nodded obediently, watching Eric walking all the way to the stairs not far away, she looked around, the staff of the party company was making the final arrangements for the hall, and some of the guests who arrived early were Chatting near the glass curtain wall, no one around seemed to pay attention to her.
After hesitating for a moment, Christina gathered her courage and walked towards the stairs.
She had been to the Corner Manor before, and was allowed to stay here for one night. The girl tiptoed around in the long corridor for a while, and finally found Eric's master bedroom.
He carefully turned the bedroom door handle, luckily it was not locked, so he pushed open the door and crept in.
This is a large circular bedroom, at least at first glance, it is much larger than her own home, and the endless sky outside the surrounding glass windows reminds Christina of the cliff dining room that once appeared on the TV.
There was no Eric in the bedroom, but she quickly noticed the clothes that Eric had left on the big bed, and looked left and right, in addition to the door behind the door leading to the outside corridor, there was a small door next to it. That should be Yumuro, well, he must be taking a shower.
Thinking of this, the girl's face couldn't help turning red.
After hesitating for a while to decide whether to leave or continue, Christina finally made up her mind, closed the bedroom door with her backhand, and walked towards the Yushi door.
Eric was soaking comfortably in the hot water, and when he heard the sound of the door being opened, he turned his head and saw the little figure he had just met flashed in.
Looking at each other, Christina's face suddenly turned into a red apple, and she stood beside the door somewhat bewildered.
Eric stared at the girl for a while, and said helplessly, "You shouldn't have come in."
"I, Eric, I," rushed in on impulse, but after seeing Eric, Christina felt that her little brain had turned into a buzzing sound for some reason, and she completely forgot what to say. .
Eric couldn't help laughing, and said, "Go out, if Drew finds you doing this, then you will never want to get such beautiful clothes to wear in the future."
Hearing Eric mentioning Drew's name, Christina was a little more awake. Of course, she knew Drew's temperament after getting along for so long. However, although, she did not dare and did not want to be jealous of Drew. After all, Drew was very kind to her. This Chanel dress that was said to be worth $8,000 was given to her by Drew, $8,000. , she couldn't afford it anyway.
But I can't help but feel envious.
It is said that Drew is now worth more than 2 billion US dollars, and all because of this man in front of him.
Thinking of this, she did not leave, but gathered up the courage to kick off the small high heels on her feet and walked towards Eric.
"Eric, I..." Christina came to the bathtub, knelt down, touched the thin layer of foam in the bathtub, looked at Eric hard, and said, "I... can do anything. made."
Eric smiled, stretched out his hand and pulled the large bath towel next to him and handed it to Christina: "Put it under your knees, the dress won't be able to be changed if it gets wet."
After Christina said what she just said, she was already very nervous. Hearing the words, she put the large bath towel under her knees and looked at Eric with a red face, as if waiting for the man's order.
Eric didn't do anything next, leaned comfortably in the bathtub, and said casually, "Tell me about you, what are you doing recently?"
Kristina's slender fingers stroked the marble counter at the edge of the bathtub and said, "I'm, um, taking a dance class recently."
Eric recalled, nodded and said: "Oh, according to your age, you can release a single almost next year."
"However, they said that if I want to release an album, I will at least be 18 years old," Christina said with a dissatisfied pouting.
"Oh, you have to know, Christy, there are not many singers in this world who can release an album at the age of 18."
Christina looked up at Eric, then lowered her head quickly, and murmured, "But, I don't want to wait more than two years."
Eric asked, "Why?"
Christina stopped scribbling fingers on the marble stage and said, "Eric, I think I should be able to release an album by now. No one has stipulated that girls under the age of 18 cannot release albums, right?"
"But the rules are like this. If you are under the age of 18, according to your development route, it will definitely cause controversy in the future," Eric said. Firefly Records' future route planning for Christina is a somewhat rebellious girl image. , If she is under the age of eighteen, although it will not affect her popularity, it will definitely cause the anxiety and disgust of adults teaching bad children.
Christina bit her lip, looked up at Eric, and said, "Eric, I heard that many singers can go to Japan to develop in advance before they reach adulthood."
"Well, it should be," Eric nodded, not only a singer, because of different legal regulations, coupled with Japan's respect for Western culture, many underage girls are used to going to Japan to develop for a few years, in Eric's memory Many well-known supermodels, actors and singers have had this experience.
Christina raised her face and said hopefully: "Then can I... go there to release the album first?"
"If you want to go, I won't stop you," Eric said. "However, I don't like Japan."
"Huh?" The girl uttered a puzzled syllable.
Eric repeated: "I mean, I don't like Japan."
Christina thought for a while before she understood.
Eric didn't like Japan, so he went to Japan to develop in advance, and then...
She quickly reacted and said, "Then I won't go."
Eric smiled with satisfaction and said, "Christy, for many girls at your age, they should all be in high school, the future is still far away, your starting point is already high, I think You don't need to be in any hurry, do you?"
Christina said: "Eric, I don't go to school anymore. I'm stupid and can't learn anything. It's better to come out and work early."
"I think the Disney Channel should have some characters for you guys?"
Christina nodded. Since the members of the Mickey Mouse Club were recalled, in addition to their studies and daily training, in order to maintain their public visibility, the Disney Channel has often provided them with roles in their own children's TV series. However, these roles are usually paid in the thousands of dollars, and such an opportunity doesn't necessarily come once a month or two. For Christina, who was accustomed to high society life by Drew's side, the money was not worth mentioning at all.
After hesitating, Christina said, "Eric, then, can I act in a movie?"
Eric probably understood something at this time and asked, "Is your family short of money?"
Christina didn't know how to answer for a while. She was short of money, of course not. Her mother had already found a job in Los Angeles, and the occasional TV show she earned was enough to pay for their mother and daughter to live in Los Angeles. However, that's all there is to it, and the ordinary middle-class life is not what she wants, so she desperately wants to earn more money and live a better life.
Noticing the expression on Christina's face, Eric already understood and said, "Okay, I understand, you go out first, and I will arrange it for you when you have time."
Christina raised her face and asked in surprise, "Really?"
"Do I have to lie to you, this little guy?"
"Then..." Christina's eyes lit up, thinking she should do something. After hesitating for a moment, she reached out and grabbed Eric's big hand from the bathtub, wanting to press it in front of her, but she immediately remembered what Eric just said, that if the dress on her body got wet, she would have nothing to change. △≧miào.*bi(.*)gé△≧,
After being stunned for a moment, the little girl came to her heart and opened her mouth to stuff Eric's finger into her mouth.
Eric couldn't help laughing because of the girl's series of movements, broke away Christina's little hand, and squeezed her sharp chin: "Okay, don't make trouble, give you a minute, if you still Before disappearing in front of me, I will take back what I just said."
"Ah, me," Christina opened her mouth.
Eric didn't leave much time for the little girl, he stretched out five fingers and shook it: "There are fifty seconds left."
Christina immediately pouted and retorted: "How can it be so fast?"
Eric ignored it and dropped a finger again: "Forty seconds."
"Ah, I'll go now," Christina jumped up quickly, rushed out of Eric's Yushi, turned back in the blink of an eye, smiled at Eric foolishly, picked up the pair of small high heels on the ground, slipped out.
