Chapter 774 IMAX
Candice Bushnell is a woman who has commanded Manhattan.
The few of them did not go to the well-known attractions frequented by foreign tourists. Throughout the afternoon, she took Eric and the three of them to almost all the main areas of Manhattan, the exquisite small galleries in Soho, the hands of Greenwich Village. Craft shops, small bars with underground rock band performances in the downtown area, authentic Chinese restaurants in the West Village area, and more.
Of course, there are countless luxury brand stores all over Manhattan. Although these luxury goods are expensive in the eyes of ordinary people, they are only equivalent to the price of a few lollipops to Eric. However, the three women, one big, two, and three, were smart enough to just look at it and not buy it, but Eric took the initiative to buy a few bottles of perfume in the Dior store and gave them to the three women. Anyway, women spray perfume, and men still enjoy it.
In the end, Candice Bushnell even mysteriously took them to an old apartment on the Upper West Side, supposedly to visit a famous Manhattan psychic.
Eric is not an atheist, he believes that there are too many unknowable things in this world. However, Eric didn't have any will to get in touch with these things. Therefore, he did not enter the apartment with the three women.
After sitting in the car and waiting for more than 20 minutes, the three women came out of the apartment. Candace Bushnell's expression was normal, but the two girls looked a little weird when they looked at Eric. .
When they all got into the car, Eric asked, "What did the psychic tell you?"
Candace Bushnell shook his head and smiled: "I didn't ask anything, I just brought Gisele and Alexander over to see. I don't know what they asked."
Eric looked at Giselle and Alexander again, and the two girls shook their heads almost simultaneously.
"Okay, then I won't ask," Eric asked Candace without reluctance, "Where to go next?"
It was not yet five o'clock in the afternoon, but the weather in winter was relatively short, and it was almost evening.
Candace Bushnell pointed to the street on the left: "That's Central Park, I don't have time to run too far today, let's go there and go around."
Eric nodded and motioned the driver to drive, heading east along 82nd Street, and in a blink of an eye, he came to Park Avenue on the periphery of Central Park.
After getting out of the car, I was discussing whether to go boating in the park.
Alexander pulled Eric's sleeve, and pointed to a statue outside a building not far away with excitement: "I know that there is "Wonderful Night at the Museum", um, that, what's inside."
Eric looked at it, and it turned out to be the American Museum of Natural History. He smiled and said, "If you're curious, then go take a look. It shouldn't be closed now, right?"
Candace Bushnell said: "No, there's an hour left."
The four of them came to the outside of the museum and were about to walk up the steps when Eric was caught by a billboard hanging outside the museum. .
Candace Bushnell saw Eric stop suddenly, followed his gaze, and said, "This is a documentary being played in the IMAX theater. My friends and I have watched it. It's a very powerful thing. The screen is huge, as high as a five-story building, but unfortunately I heard that this technology can only play scientific and educational documentaries within 40 minutes, if it can play movies, it will definitely be more shocking.”
Eric nodded and said, "Let's go in and see this."
"Okay, but hurry up."
With that said, the four of them bought tickets and walked into the museum, and soon found the location of the IMAX screening hall, just as the last show today is about to start.
Because it was almost close to the closing time, and there were not many tourists, the four of them easily found the best viewing position in the front of the center.
After the lights were dimmed, the screen turned on, and a large panorama shot from above suddenly appeared in front of you.
Of course, Eric has experienced this feeling more than once, and Candace is not too surprised. However, Giselle and Alexander, who saw this shocking visual scene for the first time, let out a faint exclamation at the same time.
Giselle had just grabbed the seat next to Eric, and at this time, she leaned into Eric's ear intentionally or unintentionally, and seemed to say regretfully: "I didn't expect the Amazon jungle to be so beautiful, but unfortunately my family lives in the south of Brazil, and I have never been there. Pass."
Eric felt the good perfume smell on the girl, which was left over from a trial in a Dior store not long ago, and said: "The more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are, I just visited the tropical rainforest in northern Australia not long ago. , It is said that there are hundreds of deadly venomous snakes there, which can kill people if you are not careful. The Amazon jungle is much more dangerous than the Australian rainforest.”
Although his attention is drawn from time to time by the immersive IMAX screen in front of him, Giselle is more willing to chat with Eric a few more words, and he has nothing to say: "Australia, it is the same as my hometown, it should be all the same now. It's summer. Eric, what are you doing in, um, a place as dangerous as the Australian rainforest?"
Eric felt the IMAX screen in front of him, and thought about it in his heart, which did not prevent him from chatting with Giselle with three things, and said, "There is a movie in the company shooting there, and I went to visit the class. Speaking of which, I am right Brazil is also very curious, but unfortunately I dare not go."
Giselle said in disbelief, "Eric, is there any place you dare not go?"
"Of course, I went to Mexico some time ago, and then I never dared to go there again."
Of course Giselle paid attention to what happened some time ago and said, "I think my hometown should be better."
However, when the girl said these words, her voice dropped unconsciously, and she seemed very unconfident. She remembered that more than half a year ago, she left her hometown in southern Brazil and arrived in Rio de Janeiro for the first time. Then, on the same day, her only $50 was stolen.
Eric noticed Giselle's expression and asked, "What unhappy things come to mind?"
"Well," Giselle nodded, talking about her own experience: "...that's all the money I have. At that time, I felt like the sky was falling. I cried alone on the street for a long time, and then asked passersby to ask for it. I paid a little money and called back, but my father scolded me again, saying I was too careless."
Eric listened quietly, with some emotion, few people's success is easy, and those who have experienced ups and downs will be more yearning for success. Niangniang'.
"Speaking of which, these things are not necessarily a bad thing for you. When you succeed in the future, these episodes will definitely become good material for your personal biography."
When Giselle heard Eric say this, she remembered what the psychic had said to her half an hour ago.
The woman who looked like a witch at the time asked her what she wanted to know.
Of course, what she cares most about is her own career. After finally leaving Brazil, she never thought of going back in a daze.
The psychic muttered to a crystal ball for a while, and then said that she met someone recently, which shattered her original life trajectory, and she could not even see her future clearly.
When Giselle heard the words, she devoutly asked the other party what she should do, but the psychic just shook her head, claiming that she couldn't see it, and it was too troublesome.
Gisele has always been a very smart and decisive girl. When she was about to give the other party the few hundred dollars left in her wallet, it was because the company wanted her to come to see Eric, and the equipment fee that was advanced to her was only left. She has just debuted for half a year, and she has not received much work at all, and even the living expenses are paid by the company.
The psychic can be regarded as a person of temperament, obviously very happy to see the banknotes, and muttered to the crystal ball for a longer time, and then told Giselle that she saw two people, and the others were still blurred.
Two people?
At this time, in the IMAX screening room of the American Museum of Natural History, Gisele leaned forward, passed Eric and Candice Bushnell, and looked at Alexander.
Eric happened to find the two of them recently, so it should be her.
Alexander Ambrosio has been secretly paying attention to the situation on Eric's side. He noticed that Eric and Giselle seemed to be chatting happily. He was a little jealous and disappointed. Sitting down, thinking of something, he still nodded slightly to Giselle.
After watching the documentary, it was almost time for the museum to close. The four of them left in a hurry. According to Candice's suggestion, they found a restaurant for dinner. Eric sent Candice, who lived nearby, home and asked two The girl's residence, and let the driver drive to the lower city.
The apartments arranged by the two brokerage companies for Giselle and Alexander are in the East Village of the lower city. The car pulled into the destination. There were old red-brick apartments next to each other everywhere. The car stopped outside an apartment building. , this is Alexander's residence, and Giselle's rental house happens to be not far from here.
The car stopped, Giselle and Alexander got out of the car, and Eric got out of the car, looking at the dark streets around him curiously. Although the sky was dark, Eric could still see the street and New York at a glance. difference elsewhere.
A major feature of the United States is that there are many cars. In Manhattan, most streets are parked with all kinds of cars, but this dilapidated street looks empty at first glance. Obviously, people who live in even buy cars. Affordable low-income people, and these kinds of neighborhoods are usually very chaotic.
Looking at a few figures swaying in the shadows of the dark street lights, Eric asked, "Is it safe for you to live here?"
Although they had expected it in their hearts, neither Giselle nor Alexander thought that Eric would send them back.
After getting along for a day, Eric's mature and stable temperament and gentle and considerate character made both girls unknowingly have a good impression of him, which made them not only have no final restraint and anxiety, but have a vague expectation. some what.
At this time, standing on the side of the street that they were almost familiar with, the two girls were slightly startled, and they felt a little bit lost at the same time.
Hearing Eric's words, the girls reacted. Alexander followed Eric's gaze and looked around and said, "It's okay, the company has already told us not to go out at night, um..." He hesitated. , Alexander summoned his courage and said, "Eric, can you go up and sit down?"
Eric said, "You should have other roommates, right?"
"Well, the four of us live together, but it doesn't matter, they will definitely welcome you."
"That's fine," Eric smiled and said, "I won't bother you, just go up."
Alexander nodded regretfully and walked towards the apartment reluctantly. Eric watched the girl enter the door and said to Giselle next to him, "Get in the car."
Giselle pointed to the crossroad not far away and said, "It's on the street ahead, we can walk there."
There were two bodyguards sitting in the car, but Eric was not worried that he would encounter roadblocks and robbery. He nodded and said, "Okay."
The two walked forward side by side, Gisele moved closer to Eric while walking, hesitated for a moment, then carefully stretched out his hand to hold Eric, only to be relieved when he saw that he was only smiling, and hinted in a low voice Said: "Eric, I'm the only one in my apartment."
Eric smiled and said, "Your company is very generous, and is willing to rent an apartment for you alone."
"No, my roommates, they are all in Milan."
Eric also remembered that February is the day when several major fashion weeks will be held. Because of different legal regulations, New York Fashion Week will not use models under the age of sixteen, but in relatively open Europe, models can be on stage at the age of fourteen, which is why most well-known models start from Europe.
If you guessed correctly, the next Milan Fashion Week should be the stage for Gisele's first appearance, but unfortunately she was suddenly recalled to the United States.
"I just wanted to meet the two of you. I didn't expect it to affect your work. Well, the Milan Fashion Week should not start yet. It's not too late for you to fly back tomorrow, right?"
"It's okay," Giselle shook her head, "I want to stay in America and concentrate on preparing for the movie."
"Oh, there is nothing to prepare for your role," Eric shook his head and said, "So let's go to Milan. If there is any problem, I can say hello to your company's executives."
Giselle seemed to want to say something, but nodded obediently.
The two walked to the intersection, turned the corner, and were soon outside Giselle's residence.
"Eric," Giselle was about to speak, remembering the situation when Eric rejected Alexander just now, hesitated, leaned on Eric, and said in a low voice, "You can stay tonight. Yes, and, I, in fact, I am still..."
Speaking of which, the girl suddenly got stuck.
She was embarrassed to find that she didn't know how to say a certain English word.
In Portuguese, he shouldn't understand.
Of course Eric realized what the girl was going to say. Seeing her suddenly stuck and embarrassed, he quickly understood something. With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he reached out to lift Giselle's chin, leaned in and kissed gently, saying: "Forget it tonight, but if that's the case, keep it for me."
