Chapter 153
The last line of subtitles rose and the lights in the screening hall lighted up.
Amid the film's creators' uneasy expectations, warm applause came to an end. It was not until Eric took Cruise, Hanks and other starring actors onto the stage and made a quiet gesture to the fans below with a smile, that the applause slowly stopped.
I expressed my gratitude to the fans and had a few brief interactions. As some fans in the screening room were gradually excited, Eric and others walked to the backstage at the right time. Although the fans were a little unwilling, they still left the screening room in an orderly manner.
"The repeated techniques are really wonderful. Do you know that Nicole, many directors have their own unique styles in the films. Not to mention the art film directors with strong styles, even those commercial film directors who focus on box office, if you study their movies a little, you will find that they themselves use the same techniques in many movies, but this characteristic is strangely not seen in Eric Williams. The styles of several of his films are completely different. This matter can only be described as weird, because a person's inertia is very powerful, and many habits will be used without realizing it."
George Northon, a film critic of the "Premiere" who walked out of the theater side by side with Nicole, explained to the girl with a dance. He found that when the girl heard Eric's topic, she would always show some interest, not as cold as other topics, so she decisively stopped commenting on the performances of Cruise, Hanks, Brooke Xiaosi, etc., and always shifted the topic to Eric in a flattering way.
After reaching the parking lot, George Northon spoke tentatively: "Nicole, there is a good cafe not far away. Maybe we can go and sit for a while. It's still very early and there's nothing to do when you go back, right?"
The girl refused coldly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Northon, I'm going back soon."
Nicole said this, but came to his car and stopped, turning his head to look at the theater behind him.
Although George Northon was rejected, he found that the girl did not immediately get into the car and left, and became more interested. George had never been tolerated before, so he was so unwilling to give up easily. In addition, the girl's lukewarm attitude further aroused George's desire to conquer.
"Nicole, do you like Eric Williams very much?" George soon came to another topic.
The girl glanced at the other person and said to the truth: "I don't like it very much."
George Northon showed a clear expression: "Ha, don't deny it, I find that you always like to hear Eric Williams' topic. Nicole, do you want to meet him in person?"
Nicole raised her eyebrows, and the girl became more and more impatient in the face of this man's perverted pestering. Unfortunately, due to the light of the parking lot, George Northson did not notice the slight change in the girl's expression, and still said self-righteously: "You know, I am a film critic of "Premiere". Because of "Dark War", Eric Williams must have received a lot of interviews to promote the movie during this period. With the current influence of "Premiere", if we send an interview invitation to the other party, he will definitely not refuse."
"What does this have to do with me?" the girl replied coldly.
"I have a good relationship with the editor. If the other party agrees, I can take this task over. Then..." George Northon's expression was a little proud and show-off: "If you want, you can pretend to be my assistant, so that you will have the opportunity to communicate with Eric Williams in person. Maybe we still have a chance to have a meal together."
"Oh," the girl spitted out a meaningless syllable, and a sarcasm hung on the corner of her mouth. Just as she was about to explicitly reject the self-righteous guy, a young man in a neat suit came to the parking lot and ran directly towards the graceful Nicole.
George Northon saw the young man coming over and showed a look of alert. Nicole was a little alert when she saw the other person walking towards her. She didn't know the other person, and the one around her could not be dismissed yet, so she didn't want to have another one to pester.
"May I ask, are you Miss Nicole Kidman?" The young man came to the girl, looked at Nicole's outfit again, and then asked.
Nicole nodded, George found that the two did not know each other, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
The young man confirmed the girl's identity and said enthusiastically: "Hello, Miss Kidman, I am Allen, Alan Fisman." Seeing the girl's puzzled expression, Alan quickly explained: "I am Mr. Williams' assistant."
"Oh, hello, Allen, just call me Nicole," the girl smiled and stretched out her hand, shook with the young man, and glanced at George Northon, who seemed to realize something, and introduced it in a somewhat cramped manner: "This is a film critic of the Premiere magazine, Mr. George Northon."
"Hello, Mr. Northon," Allen greeted George lukewarmly. Those who make movies usually don't like critics very much. In this era, the critic group firmly holds the reputation of most movies, but there are very few critics who can maintain a fair attitude. Film companies have to spend a lot of public relations fees on this group of people before they are released, otherwise it will be difficult to get fair evaluations from the other party.
After saying hello to George, Alan turned to the girl again without waiting for the other party to respond: "That's right, Nicole, Miss Barrymore wants me to tell you that she is going to follow Mr. Williams to attend the next party so that you don't have to wait for her."
"Thank you, Allen, I get it," the girl nodded to show her understanding.
Ellen didn't say much, nodded to the two of them, turned around and walked into the theater again.
"Sorry, Mr. Northon, can you let me go?" After Allen left, Nicole was about to open the car door and go home first, but found George Northon blocking her car door.
"Oh, I'm sorry," George made his body away in panic, watched the girl open the car door, grinning at the corner of his mouth, trying to smile freely, but the muscles on his face seemed to be frozen and refused to cooperate.
If Allen only mentioned "Mr. Williams", George could deceive himself and pretend not to understand. After all, there were too many people named Williams, so the next sentence "Miss Barrymore" completely left George with no room for pretending to be stupid.
The strange relationship between Eric and Drew has always been a topic that everyone in the circle talks about. Of course, George Northon could not not know. Then, it is not difficult to guess Nicole's identity. Thinking of the girl waiting for Drew here, George felt that she must be very familiar with Eric and Drew.
Thinking of what he said just now, George Northon felt a strong sense of embarrassment in his heart. The girl and Eric clearly knew each other, but what topics he used to tempt the other party. It is estimated that the girl had ridiculed herself a hundred times just now.
George, who watched Nicole drive away as if nothing had happened, walked towards his car in frustration, felt more and more that his behavior was like a clown jumping up and down. When a person encounters such a thing and refuses to reflect on his own faults, his usual behavior is to take off his anger.
So George directly ignored his impolite pestering, and instead felt that he had been tricked by Nicole.
