Chapter 383 Not a Coincidence

? On both sides of Sunset Boulevard, which connects Los Angeles between the 101 freeway and the 405 freeway, there are countless residential areas densely distributed, including manor-style mansions with an area of ​​several acres, and ordinary villa areas that are tightly packed together. , This is the Beverly Hills that was later famous for being home to a large number of Hollywood stars.

As the end of the year was approaching, Firefly had a lot of business going on. In order to save time, Eric did not go back to Jiaojiao Manor. Even if the road conditions were good, it would take more than an hour to drive from Burbank to Malibu. So after returning from New York, Eric lived in Beverly Hills most of the time.

While he hasn't achieved some great or lewd goal of having a golden house anywhere in Los Angeles, there are several in Beverly Hills.

Hearing the sound, Joanna Paku, who was making breakfast, just turned her head, but Eric had already embraced her waist. The girl raised her chin slightly and showed a smile: "Morning, Eric."

Eric rubbed the woman's waist tightly wrapped in a knitted woolen skirt, lowered his head and kissed the corner of the woman's lips: "Morning, why don't you wear an apron, your clothes will get dirty."

"Be careful and you'll be fine," said the woman, and patted Eric's strange hand around her waist. "No, I'm making breakfast, and the newspaper is on the coffee table in the living room. Go After reading the newspaper for a while, you can eat."

Eric laughed and was about to continue. He heard a rush of bells in the living room. It was his cell phone ringing.

"Don't let people stop early in the morning."

Eric complained in a low voice, but went out of the kitchen to answer the phone. It was Elizabeth who called and told him to go to Century City in the morning to watch the demo of "Dancing With Wolves".

After hanging up the phone, Eric didn't go to the kitchen to harass the woman who was making breakfast. He opened the newspaper on the coffee table and read it. After Joanna made breakfast, Eric took a copy of the Los Angeles Times. Went into the restaurant.

Wait for the woman to divide the breakfast. Sitting down opposite, Eric said, "Joan, next month is Thanksgiving, will you move to Malibu and spend time with me?".

Joanna Pakula looked up and said, "I want to go back to Poland in the new year."

Poland has been in a state of political turmoil all these years. Joanna immigrated to the United States almost as a political refugee. After the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, the political situation in Poland has barely stabilized since last year, but Eric is still worried: "I don't want to stop. In two years, it's still quite chaotic over there."

Joanna shook her head: "Can't wait any longer,

I haven't seen my parents for almost ten years. Received the photo a month ago and they are...all old. "

Hear the deep sadness in the woman's tone. Eric didn't persuade him any more, ten years was indeed too long for a woman who was alone in a foreign land. Eric suddenly thought of himself, he didn't even know if he was a stranger in a foreign country, and he didn't even know when he could go back and have a look.

"Then I'll arrange a few people to accompany you back," Eric said after thinking for a while.

Just as Joanna was about to shake her head, Eric said, "Don't refuse, it's useless to refuse, that's it."

"You're always like this," the woman complained softly, her tone indifferent and not at all angry.

At the end of October in Los Angeles, the temperature in the early morning had dropped to about 10 degrees. After breakfast, Joanna took Eric's coat over and watched the man put it on, and thoughtfully helped him button up, like a gentle wife.

Eric went to the yard to open the car door, looked at Joanna's reluctant appearance, and stepped forward to hug the woman with a soft personality in front of him: "Don't be like this, it's because I didn't think about it carefully, I didn't expect "Tornado" "It won't be filmed until next year, or I'll ask your agent to help you choose a film so you won't be too bored."

"No, I like this quiet life very much," Joanna quickly shook her head in defense, and then whispered, "Will you come over at night?".

"Of course, I will come to accompany you before you go back to Poland," Eric replied without any pause.

The woman's tone finally brought some excitement: "Then I will help you cook delicious food for you at night. During this time, I signed up for a cooking training class."

Eric laughed and joked: "I hope you are not the test subject for me."

Joanna's villa is less than five kilometers away from Fox's headquarters in Century City. Several high-rise buildings in Century City are almost all Fox's properties. Eric drove quickly to the place, parked the car, and Eric Ke walked to an agreed office building.

Just as he walked not far from the entrance, a slender figure in a khaki trench coat ran towards him: "Eric, so you really came here today."

The girl in front of him was Jennifer Connelly. Eric hugged the girl who rushed over in surprise and asked, "Jenny, why are you here?"

Connery took Eric's arm and said with a smile: "The crew of "Rival Condor" informed me that some scenes need dubbing, so I came over. The director just told me that you will be here today too."

Eric felt a little strange. Although he knew who the director of "Fighting Condor" was, the two had never met, and before he could understand it, Eric was keenly aware of a business car not far away. Behind the car, the camera's flash flashed a few times.

Joanna lives in a closed community with several exits, and Eric pays attention to this kind of thing, so he can be sure that the paparazzi did not follow Joanna's community, there is only one Possibly, the paparazzi not far away must be waiting here.

Fox headquarters should be frequented by stars, so it makes sense to stay here, but Eric still thinks it is too coincidental.

Pulling Connery into the office building, he carefully looked at the innocent and pretty face of his girl. Eric quickly figured out the ins and outs of the matter. This silly little vase Apparently it was used.

From some previous phone calls with Connery, Eric already knew that "Fighting Condor" was scheduled for November 16th, less than three weeks from now, and the trailers have already begun to be released on a large scale. Will a voiceover be required?

"Fighting Condor" has 30% of Eric's investment in it. Fox has always wanted Eric to be named a producer, so that they can promote it in his name. Eric's success in many consecutive films , he won not only huge profits, but also word-of-mouth among the audience. Now many movie fans will have a strong interest in this movie when they hear a movie related to him without much publicity, so this kind of word-of-mouth The role is like a star's box office appeal, and it can bring tangible benefits.
