Chapter Three Hundred and Seventy First Gaffe

This was the first time Eric had given himself a gift, and Nicole looked up curiously: "What?"

"You'll find out later," Eric laughed.

Nicole pursed her lips and gave Eric a white glance.

After a leisurely lunch, Eric brought the girl to the study, took out a file bag from the bookcase and handed it to the girl sitting on the sofa.

Nicole squeezed and felt it before opening it. First, she took out a bunch of keys.

"This is the key?" Nicole asked strangely.

"The apartment in the Upper East Side of Manhattan," Eric explained, "there is also a check in it for the 8 million that I borrowed from you some time ago."

Nicole emptied all the contents of the file bag in surprise,

In addition to the check and the apartment title documents, there are also a stack of photos of the interior of the apartment. From the photos, it should be a duplex apartment of more than 200 square meters, and the interior is decorated in a simple warm color style.

"So, are the rumors during this period true?" the girl said as she flipped through the stack of photos.

"rumor?"

Nicole said: "A lot of people say you made a lot of money in this oil crisis."

"It did make some money," Eric said vaguely.

Nicole raised the photo in her hand, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "There must be more than 'a few'. The duplex apartment on the Upper East Side is not much cheaper than the mansion on the top of the Beverly Hills. Is that... does anyone else have it?"

"I only wanted to raise as much money as possible, so I borrowed it from you. I didn't expect that someone suddenly gave generously, so I took you to invest together, and this house was earned with your principal. Yes, only you and Vicky have. Speaking of which, I'm really desolate, only you and Vicky can give me money among women."

"You can see from this how unpopular you are," Nicole teased, and quickly asked, "Julia Roberts should be the richest one, she... "Sleeping Together with the Enemy" received 8 million yuan."

Eric shrugged: "When I went to her place. I happened to meet Liz, and when they heard me say borrowing money, they thought I was joking and kicked me out."

Nicole was stunned for a moment, and laughed happily.

Eric also showed a helpless look, although Julia later learned that he was not joking. But at that time, he had already received a large amount of funds from the Seventh National Congress, and the few million of the girl were dispensable, so he didn't ask for it anymore.

"Since it's my own money, I'll take it," Nicole said quickly, taking the things on the coffee table back into the file bag.

"Right. What did you come to see me for today?"

Nicole, who had just collected a lot of scattered pieces, became resentful again: "It's hard enough to see you now."

"Okay, let's get down to business," Eric said quickly.

"Do you know about Spielberg's latest movie?"

Eric thought for a while and asked, ""Captain Hawk"?"

Nicole nodded: "I have participated in the audition for the little fairy Ting Kebeer before, but there are many people competing, can you help me clear it up."

Eric recalled the news about "Captain Hawk" that he saw in the newspaper during this time. This movie was the idea of ​​Spielberg since he was a child, and he has been writing the script repeatedly over the years. It was not until recently that the newly established Sony Pictures officially established the project. It can be said that it is another ambitious project by the Japanese with deep pockets. Investment institutions are very optimistic about the prospects of this film project. A very professional film magazine also analyzed that the film could earn at least $200 million in profits.

However, Eric knew that the final result of this film was not as bright as expected. The production and announcement cost exceeded 100 million US dollars, and the North American box office was only a little over 100 million. Only through overseas distribution can it be regarded as barely making a return. And the film's reputation is a mess. Critics have criticized the film as a rambunctious fantasy packed with expensive special effects.

"Nicole, although this movie was invested by Sony. But the leader is Spielberg, and I have nothing to do with him. And before he wanted to get the adaptation rights of "Jurassic Park", I was also asked by me Rejected..." Eric said, but found that the girl's expression changed from loss to resentment, from resentment to grievance: "This, you..."

"So, you don't want to help me."

"Actually, this movie also..."

Nicole immediately interrupted Eric: "You just don't want to help me!"

"Listen to me, this movie isn't about..."

"Enough," Nicole looked at Eric aggrievedly, tears slowly overflowing from her eyes: "Why, why are you always so mean to me, why am I not good enough? Why are you so mean to those women? So good, you just made a comedy movie for that woman some time ago, and many people know it now. And Julia Roberts, I'm not as good as her, you prepared three box office movies for her in one go 100 million movies, do you know what it means to make three movies in a row that break 100 million at the box office? In Hollywood, she is already unmatched, and Drew, ha, a 15-year-old producer. And me , I always listen to you, you asked me to change the agent, I changed it soon, you need money, I lent you my overdrafted credit card, you know, they have their own houses, several You bought it for them, but I still live in a rented villa, you say, what did I do wrong, I just asked you to say a few words for me, and you will push things like this..."

As the girl spoke, she hugged her knees and huddled in the single sofa sobbing.

This situation was a bit sudden, and Eric became at a loss. He didn't expect Nicole to have accumulated so much resentment towards him.

"Okay, Nicole, don't cry, I'll call right now, and I will definitely help you take down this role," Eric walked over to Nicole and squatted down, patted the girl's arm and said.

Nicole shook off Eric's hand, buried her head in her legs and continued to sob, like a pissed off little girl: "I don't want it, I don't want it, you bastard, you are a big bastard."

"Okay. I apologize, I did go too far in the past and always ignored your feelings," Eric pulled Nicole's little hand over: "Actually, I thought you were so smart and capable. You shouldn't be like them. It always worries me."

"You quibble, you are biased," Nicole still reprimanded without raising her head.

"Ok, I won't argue, I was wrong," Eric quickly apologized.

"I don't want your pity. You bastard."

"Yes, I'm an asshole."

After a while, Eric calmed the girl down and made calls one by one in front of Nicole.

While "Captain Hawke" won't do the girl's career any good, it won't do any harm either. After all, this is a movie with worldwide influence, and even if it fails in the end, it is impossible to put the blame on the heroine. Since Nicole wants to act, she should fight for it.

After making a phone call, Eric put down the microphone: "I contacted Spielberg. He happens to be in Los Angeles. I will invite him to be a guest at Jiaojiao Manor at noon tomorrow."

Nicole had recovered from the gaffe just now. Holding a few tissues in his hand, he cleaned the makeup off his face, and heard Eric's words. Nicole just pouted, still huddled in the sofa.

"Now, let's have a good talk," Eric sat across from Nicole.

Nicole's face suddenly showed a panicked look, like a suspect facing trial: "I... I'm going to the bathroom."

"Well," Eric nodded. Watching the girl stood up and fled into the bathroom, it took a while before she walked out of it again with a chirping. The bun that was originally tied up has now been spread out over his shoulders, and his eyes are slightly red. The whole person has a little more soft temperament.

When the girl sat down opposite, Eric asked bluntly, "Nicole, you like me, right?"

"I... no," Nicole retorted immediately.

Eric didn't seem to hear the girl's words and said, "I used to have a hard time determining this, but today I can be sure."

"So... so what, you don't like me, you... bastard, you only play with me."

"It's not that serious, is it?"

Nicole pointed at the desk not far away: "It's there, you put me on your knees to give you oral sex, and then let me swallow those disgusting things after that, have you forgotten?"

"Cough, this, only once."

"Twice, and once at the villa in Beverly Hills," Nicole immediately retorted.

"Well, twice, I think we might as well not talk about it right now."

"Humph!"

Throughout the afternoon, the girl was like a resentful abandoned woman, constantly rebuking Eric's previous "evil deeds", and until she went to bed at night, the girl was playing petty temper.

"I don't want to have sex with you tonight, you are not allowed to cross the middle line," the girl in Eric's t-shirt as pajamas reached out and gestured in the middle of the big bed, warning.

Eric turned off the light reluctantly, lay down on the other side, and said, "You know, Nicole, what you just said was actually a cold joke."

The Girl in the Dark snorted in response.

Eric continued: "It is said that it is another couple dating. The two live in a hotel. The girl is more reserved. Before going to bed, she also drew a line in the middle of the bed, saying that if the boy crossed over, he would be a beast."

Eric said here and deliberately stopped.

Nicole obviously hadn't heard of the jokes that were widely circulated on the Internet in her previous life. After a while, she finally couldn't help but ask: "Then... what happened later?"

"Then the boy did not cross the line drawn by the girl all night."

"Oh," Nicole responded, like turning over and complaining, "It's boring."

Eric smiled and said: "I haven't finished yet, when I woke up, the girl saw that the boy was sleeping on the other side of the demarcation line, and he didn't cross the line all night, so she reached out and slapped the boy, He cursed: You are not even as good as a beast."

Nicole was stunned for a moment, then giggled a few times, stretched out her long legs and kicked Eric hard: "Bastard, don't even think about ten more bad jokes tonight."

Eric smiled: "Of course, this is just a very pure joke."

Nicole snorted again and said, "Sleep."

"Ok, sleep."

Both of them closed their eyes and fell asleep unconsciously. When they woke up, Nicole found that she had been hugged by Eric, and she didn't know when the t-shirt was used as pajamas. Now, there was only a pair of small panties left on her body, and the man's big hand was still covering her chest.

"You beast," Nicole scolded immediately when Eric woke up, but her tone was more coquettish.

Eric took the girl into his arms, rubbed the girl's chest a few times with his big hands, and quickly slid down the smooth waist curve. He reached into the lace pants and teased the girl fiercely. Fan, Eric pushed Nicole away and joked, "Hey, it's getting late, let's get up."

"Bastard, you're playing with me again," Nicole suddenly jumped up like a little wild cat and pressed Eric under him.

Near noon, a Lincoln sedan drove into Jiaojiao Manor, and Eric, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly greeted him. Spielberg got out of the car and hugged Eric as if he had seen an old friend: "Eric Rick, long time no see."

"Long time no see, how are you doing, Steven?"

"It's okay," Spielberg chatted with Eric a few more words before turning to Nicole who was standing beside Eric: "This is the beautiful Miss Kidman, I have seen your audition. video."

"Thank you, Mr. Spielberg," Nicole politely shook hands with Spielberg, and they chatted for a while, and Eric quickly took Spielberg into the villa.

Before lunch, it was prepared by a specially invited chef. Spielberg had recently divorced and did not bring a female companion, so there were only three of them in the restaurant.

At first, the three of them didn't talk about "Captain Hawk", they just commented on the lunch and talked a lot about the interesting things that happened in Hollywood at the end.

It wasn't until more than half an hour later, when lunch was almost finished, that Eric asked tentatively, "Steven, the heroine of "Captain Hawk" hasn't been determined yet, right?"

Spielberg glanced at Nicole, but his eyes were a little weird, and nodded: "Yes, Eric."

"Then what do you think of Nicole?" Eric didn't make any detours. Anyway, he must owe Spielberg a favor today. Judging from Spielberg's attitude that he can come in person today, it should be very easy to win this role. easy.

"Miss Kidman's performance was great," Spielberg said, having seen Nicole's audition tape, "but Eric, there are other issues with this, and one of the current candidates is another Actresses are also very competitive."

Eric thought for a while, and suddenly thought of another girl's figure. (To be continued)
