Seeing Eric's appearance that he might burst at any time, Arnon Carpenter didn't stay any longer, put down a business card with a simple contact information and said, "Mr. Williams, any time you want to talk, just make this call."

After saying the last sentence, Arnon Carpenter stood up and left. Eric threw the business card into the trash can, got up and went to the study room, took out the recorder from the pocket and pressed the play button, and the conversation between the two people came from inside. Then, he took out the video tape that had just been carved from a machine with a monitor in the study room, turned on the recorder and stuffed the tape in, and pressed the play button.

The image of Arnon Carpenter sitting facing the camera appeared on the TV screen. The clear image quality made Arnon Carpenter's every move appear. Even an ordinary person could roughly tell what the other person said from the squirting of the other person's lips.

The video tape was not long, and it was soon finished broadcasting. Eric put the recorder and the video tape into the safe and locked it. He then breathed a sigh of relief. At least, he would not fall into the dilemma of Michael Jackson in his previous life who could not justify himself.

It's funny to say that under normal circumstances, few people will install cameras in their homes, but who made this villa be built according to the Iron Man mansion in my memory?

Since it is an imitation, these small details cannot be forgotten. Not only in the living room, but also in many places in the manor, there are cameras connecting his study. As long as Eric wants to sit in the study, you can learn about the movements of any part of the manor.

Unexpectedly, the whim at that time made him get something that is crucial to him today.

January 1, 1990, New Year's Day.

Jeffrey returned to Los Angeles at around 10 a.m. Chris Hanson was also with him. Chris had resigned from Morgan Stanley and had been preparing for Eric's investment company during this period. When he heard what Eric said from his father, Chris was worried and followed him to Los Angeles.

After understanding the detailed process of the matter, the three of them not only did not discuss any solutions, but instead found that Fireflies are now facing many difficult problems. However, Jeffrey and Chris never asked Eric to compromise with those people, and finally agreed to see the situation and deal with it again.

New Year's Day seems to be a dull past, but it is like the last tranquility before the storm.

On January 2, Eric got up early in the morning and asked the servant to get today's newspaper. The front page headline of the Los Angeles Metropolis Daily, and the black and bold title came into view.

"Eric Williams: Hollywood's Most Hypocritical Playboy".

"Ha, I'm not merciless at all." Eric glanced at the photos on the front page, and a photo of him and a few women appeared on it without revealing.

The main content of the article is even more outrageous, and it distorts all the romantic affairs of Eric who likes to chase beautiful women on a large scale, and portrays him as a shameless person who can't get a role from him without giving his body.

I read several other newspapers. Although there is no such news in the more famous Los Angeles Times, similar reports have appeared in many newspapers in the next chapter.

Since the end of the big studio era and the increasing improvement of Hollywood's film industry, the so-called unspoken rules have no soil for survival, and celebrities are no longer part of the big studio without personal freedom, so there is no need to compromise and be played with by powerful people.

But this does not mean that the unspoken rules have disappeared, but that all of this is on the surface.

In Hollywood, an actor wants to climb all the way. Without any background backing, he can only give his own body. Therefore, many years later, an American magazine listed dozens of secrets to success on how to become a star. The first one is: no matter whether you are a man or a woman, your sexual orientation, if you want to become a star, you must always be ready to provide sexual services to those who can open up the way for your career.

Of course, although this kind of thing is very common in Hollywood, most people silently abide by these rules and do not destroy them. Occasionally, a few unwilling "rebels" appear, and they can hardly make any big waves.

Of course, the public is not ignorant of the situation in the Hollywood circle, but they can see it. It has always been the most gorgeous and sunny side of Hollywood. Therefore, most Hollywood stars have a very positive image in the public's minds, and everyone is happy to indulge in this kind of glitz.

Today, after suddenly someone distorted the scandal between Hollywood director Eric Williams and many actresses, he promoted it with great fanfare. Eric undoubtedly passively became the "rebel" of Hollywood rules. Therefore, after seeing these articles, Eric's image in the public's mind must have plummeted.

Within a few hours of the new day's newspaper release, Eric's mansion in Malibu was surrounded by paparazzi who heard the news. Eric originally planned to go out, but when he saw this, he could only stay in the manor honestly.

...

In a small villa in Beverly Hills, Aniston was waving the newspaper in his hand and screaming at Nicole sitting at the dining table: "Why, why, this is why, I regard you as a good friend, but you hooked my boyfriend, you, Drew, too, Julia Roberts, and..."

Xiao丨Niu read the series of names of people in the newspaper with excitement, and then tore the newspaper into pieces in a few seconds and threw them at Nicole: "You are all Bichi, I've had enough!"

Nicole took out the confetti that flew into her collar with a faint expression, and then said, "You said we are all Bichi, then what are you? If it weren't for Eric, could you get the role of the heroine of "Friends"? Can you have the fame you are now?"

Aniston was speechless and said, "I am his girlfriend!"

"So what?" Nicole raised her head and said lightly, "So what if you get married?"

"You..." The girl pointed at Nicole, gritted her teeth, then returned to her bedroom hatefully, stuffed her things into a simple suitcase, pulled them out, and slapped a check in front of Nicole: "This is my rent. From today on, I have nothing to do with you."

"Oh," Nicole picked up the check and looked at it. Then folded it and stuffed it into the bra on her chest in front of Aniston, and cast a charming look at Aniston: "I will use the tip for the extra money you give."

"Bi Chi!" cursed again, and Aniston pulled the suitcase and walked out.

Nicole looked at the living room door and made a loud bang. She picked up a piece of newspaper fragments scattered on the dining table and spread them out. She murmured: "What a fool. Even that bastard didn't even see that he was in trouble, and he knew he was jealous."

...

Aniston stuffed his suitcase into his car and just opened the gate of the yard. Before he could get in, he was surrounded by several paparazzi.

"Miss Aniston, what do you think of what is in the newspaper today?"

"Jennifer, will you break up with Mr. Williams?"

"Miss Aniston, do you live with Miss Nicole Kidman mean you have already known everything between her and Eric Williams?"

“…”

Hearing the buzzing sound around him, Aniston irritatedly pushed away a recorder that had come to his eyes and shouted, "Get out of here. From now on, I have nothing to do with Eric Williams. Don't bother me anymore."

The reporters were even more excited when facing Aniston's loss of composure. They wanted this effect. If the parties showed a calm appearance, they would definitely not be able to draw more explosive news from it.

"Janey, will you continue to star in "Friends"?"

"Miss Aniston, are you sure you just said you want to break up with Eric Williams?"

"Janey..."

Aniston pushed the crowd away with a cold face, got into the car, slowly drove the car onto the highway, and got rid of the paparazzi. He wandered around the streets and alleys of Los Angeles aimlessly, and the mobile phone rang. After the call was connected, he heard his father's voice. Xiao丨niu slowly stopped the car on the side of the road and finally cried out in grievance at the microphone.

...

"We are now conducting live coverage for you at the door of Eric Williams' manor in the sharp corner of Malibu. Since the day before yesterday, scandals between Eric Williams and many actresses broke out suddenly, but it has been more than 72 hours since then. The door of the manor has been closed so far, and Eric Williams has not made any clarification."

A woman in a blue suit, holding a microphone, stood outside the bustling group of reporters and said in front of the camera. Behind her was the background of the closed door of the manor. Although three days have passed, the storm in the newspaper still has no momentum to calm down. Therefore, the number of reporters at the door of the manor has not decreased, but has continued to increase. At present, at least more than one hundred people have gathered.

"Affected by the Eric Williams scandal, the box office of the five movies that are being released in Firefly have been affected to varying degrees this week. Among them, "Sleeping in the Night in Seattle" was the most severely affected by the scandal. The box office fell by more than 40% the next week, and only received $17 million in the box office. The other three movies, "The Island Far Cry", "Home Imperial 2" and "Steel Magnolia" also fell by more than expected. "Smelling the Scent of the Scent" has suffered the least impact because it was not released on a large scale. According to data released by relevant statistical agencies, due to the impact of the Eric Williams scandal, the total box office losses of the five movies may exceed $100 million."

"Drew Barrymore, Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman, Virginia Madson, all three famous actresses are currently in a state of losing voice, and none of them makes any statements. As for whether the other party has been warned by certain forces, we have no way of knowing. Eric Williams's published girlfriend Jennifer Aniston announced on the day of the scandal, he announced his breakup with Eric Williams. The copyright of "Friends" starring Jennifer Aniston belongs to Fireflies. After the couple turned against each other, a huge suspense appeared in the cast of "Friends" season 2."

"In an interview with a reporter from the Manhattan Morning Post, Li Zimmerman publicly stated that Eric Williams is a very gentle and considerate man, and many newspapers have completely slandered the young director's attacks. So far, this is the only actress in Eric's several movies to defend Eric Williams."

In Malibu's mansion, Eric sat motionless on the sofa, watching the rolling broadcast of his news on the TV not far away. The coffee table in front of him was covered with various newspapers.

Drew, carrying a small tray with a few exquisite meals on it, came to Eric carefully: "Eric, do you want something to eat?"

Eric was originally staring at the TV and moved his eyes, then turned to look out the window, and there were still a few pieces of "trash" floating on the blue sea. I don't know when the sky had darkened again.

"Let's put it there, I'll eat later."

Drew obediently placed the tray in front of him on the coffee table, sorted out the scattered newspapers, and then carefully approached Eric. After spending a long time with Eric, the girl could keenly experience any slight emotional changes on Eric. Now, she felt Eric was very angry, and the kind of anger that could burst out at any time. Although she knew that Eric would definitely not take his anger on her, the girl still became timid.

Sitting quietly beside Eric for a while, the little girl said, "Eric, why don't I find a woman to come over?"

"Hmm?" Eric glanced at the girl in confusion.

"I think, I think you might need to vent a little." Drew's tone was dull.

Eric smiled bitterly: "Who do you think it's not messy enough now."

"Or..." The little girl slowly shrank down and knelt on the floor, climbed to Eric's legs and reached out to untie Eric's belt.

Eric stopped Drew's movements, touched the little girl's furry bag head, and reluctantly smiled, "Okay, I really don't have the mood now."

When Drew heard Eric say this, he stopped moving, but he still lay on Eric's legs and rubbed his face against Eric's thigh and said, "Eric, no matter what they are like, I will always be yours."

"You misunderstood, Drew, I actually called and refused to let them speak. In this case, they are the best choice not to speak."

"Well," Drew snorted obediently. At this time, Eric said everything was right. (To be continued)
