Chapter 435: A Private Matter
Eric noticed that the girl's expression was a little confused, and thoughtfully did not continue to talk about the plot of the movie, and said, "By the way, do you know what the sexy pose of Brigitte Bardot is?"
Claudia knew this. Although she had never seen Brigitte Bardot's movies, she had seen some related pictures and information. Brigitte Bardot's most sexy posture was undoubtedly a curvy lying on the big bed, swaying her two slender and sexy calves, and one hand supported her cheeks to reveal a wild and charming smile.
It is said that in many movies, Brigitte Bardot has posed in this position.
"I know," Claudia nodded, looking at Eric with a smile, as if waiting for something.
Eric opened his mouth and realized that if he continued to talk, he was just a play. There were two other women at home today, so it was obviously not appropriate to do so, so he had to change the topic: "When did you enter the industry?"
Claudia recalled: "In 1987, my friend and I were dancing in a discotheque. A scout left me a business card, and then I went to this day."
"Do you like this job?"
Claudia thought for a while and said, "I like it more. Because of her height, I think this profession is most suitable for me. I have been much taller than the children around me since I was a child. I was stared at me no matter where I stood. I felt embarrassed and a little inferior. It was not until I became a model that I found my goal. But my father was not very relieved. He always wanted me to inherit his law firm."
"How did Drew fool you yesterday? I think you are a very smart girl and shouldn't be fooled so easily?"
Claudia smiled awkwardly when she remembered her experience from yesterday to the present. She quickly looked at Eric with courage and said with a bold look: "Actually, I just think that if it were you, even if nothing was there, it would be a good experience."
"It's...a great honor."
Since he had already become brave, Claudia didn't care anymore and said, "Actually, when she came to Los Angeles, there were sisters who said that it would be great if she could meet Eric Williams this time. She didn't expect to meet him."
Eric asked with a smile, "Now I see the real person, how do you feel about him?"
"He is very gentlemanly and charming..." Claudia said and laughed: "I just don't know if there is any chance to date him again."
"Maybe," Eric smiled unanimously, glanced at the monitor on the treadmill. He stopped slowly, greeted the girl, got off the treadmill, and walked towards the bathroom.
After breakfast, Eric took Claudia back to the hotel she stayed at when she was at work. The two had a great chat along the way. Claudia never mentioned what happened last night, nor did she have any intention of asking for anything. It seemed that she really regarded this experience as a purely "sexy encounter". Coupled with the good upbringing shown by the girl's speech and behavior, Eric had a little more favorable impression.
The car stopped in front of a hotel in Beverly, and Claudia turned side boldly. She kissed Eric and was about to get off the car, but Eric stopped him.
"If you think about Hollywood development, I might have a chance."
"Ah, really?"
Claudia showed a look of surprise. She originally thought that she would meet Eric forever this time, but she did not dare to have any extravagant hopes.
The difference in their identities is too big. If Eric doesn't take the initiative, she won't have any Cinderella dreams, and she won't be so stupid that she takes the initiative to ask Eric for anything.
Eric signaled the girl to sit down and said, "Of course it's true, but this is just an opportunity. Whether you can catch it depends on yourself. But if you can perform well, I will definitely let the crew give priority to yours."
Claudia asked, "Then what should I do?"
Eric recalled that if the comic adaptation rights were successfully obtained, it would be produced early next year and released in the summer season, so there would not be much time left for Claudia.
But that character is just a vase and does not require too much acting skills. Just try to show her own sexy. Claudia herself is a model, and showing sexy is equivalent to her profession, so although the time is a bit short, it is enough for her to make sufficient preparations.
"You don't have any acting experience. If you want this opportunity, you need to stop all your work immediately, sign up for a performance training class, and receive at least three months of performance training. I will have someone notify you of audition at the beginning of next year."
Just as Claudia was about to say something, Eric waved his hand again: "This is not a small matter for you. I think you should think about it best. If you don't work for three months or even longer, it may affect your development in modeling, and I can't give you any guarantee, everything depends on your own efforts."
"No, don't think about it, I'll do what you said," Claudia said.
Just kidding, the opportunity given to Eric Williams himself was given to fools hesitate to think about it. In just a few years, Eric has already won several Hollywood top stars.
Eric looked at the girl's excited look and said seriously: "I said that this is just an opportunity. A movie will involve an investment of tens of millions of dollars, so the opportunity I give you can only be grasped if you have enough strength. If your performance cannot even pass the audition, I can only say regret."
Claudia said, "Of course I know."
Seeing that the girl had made up her mind, Eric took out a business card, found a pen and wrote a string of phone numbers on the back of the business card: "This is the phone number of Mr. Kapoor Sid of ICM Company. If you contact him, you will say that it was my introduction and he will arrange a suitable agent for you. Of course, if you feel that your current agent can adapt to Hollywood, you don't have to change it."
Claudia took the business card and carefully put it in, saying, "Then... I'll leave first."
"Well, you have a contract with me. Do you need my help?"
"No, I can handle it myself," Claudia refused. In her short contact, Claudia understood that Eric prefers smart and independent women, and she subconsciously wanted to show this as much as possible.
After saying goodbye to Claudia, Eric told the driver to drive to Burbank.
In the Firefly office building, when Allen saw Eric appear, he picked up a thick stack of information that had been prepared long ago and followed Eric into the office.
"Eric, the Blue Skin folder is the latest progress in negotiations with Disney. I have marked the more important points. The Red Skin folder is the second batch of producer files collected by the Human Resources Department, which are more likely to sign contracts with Fireflies. The Gray Skin folder is the high-quality film project information screened by the production department."
Leishidong is currently raising funds frantically, and Firefly insists on not changing its strategy of a wholly-owned acquisition. Therefore, the negotiation progress with Disney will not make much breakthrough in the short term. Eric directly puts several blue folders aside and opens a red folder.
After Robert Shay left, after more than half a year of integration and development, the division of labor between Eric, Michael Lynn and Jeffrey became clearer.
Although Michael Lynn was a CEO, he was very self-aware and did not have the same "thoughts" as Robert Shay, so he completely followed Eric's arrangements and focused his main energy on expanding Firefly's distribution channels. He even handed over many of the company's administrative affairs to Jeffrey.
As the president of Firefly, after helping Eric complete the production of "Tornado", Jeffrey shifted his energy to the company's management and would no longer serve as the producer in person.
Eric does not have a specific position in Firefly, and can manage everything and ignore anything. However, all the company's film projects require Eric's approval to pass, and no one in the company expressed objection to this.
Firefly's production plan for next year has expanded to eight films, and it is necessary to sign a group of professional producers like the Seventh National Congress. Recently, Eric's job is to select producers and next year's film projects.
"Allen, how are you talking about the adaptation copyright of "The Disguised" with Dark Horse Comics?" Alan was about to go out, and Eric thought of Claudia and asked. After signing Jin Carrey, Eric has been planning to win the adaptation rights of "The Disguised" to TG for production.
"Cutting the Throat Island" failed miserably at the box office. Even if someone wants to compete with Fireflies for copyright again, they have to consider whether they will make a fuss. The seller often becomes more cautious. If he is handed over to someone else instead of Fireflies and is screwed up again, the originally priceless copyright will become worthless waste. Therefore, Eric has no more scruples and makes people start to contact the dark horse comics company.
The opportunity he just gave Claudia was the heroine of "The Disguised Man" that made Cameron Diaz famous in one fell swoop. Before "The Disguised Man", Cameron Diaz was just an unknown young model. After "The Disguised Man", Cameron Diaz quickly became the new generation of sweet sisters in Hollywood in just a few years.
Eric didn't think there was anything beautiful about Cameron Diaz from beginning to end. The only thing that could be praised was those long legs. Claudia, who was taller than the long legs, seemed to be longer.
Hearing Eric's inquiry, Allen thought for a while and said, "After negotiations, Dark Horse Comics has given up the joint development plan. Now we should be discussing the detailed contract details. I don't know much about the specific progress. Russell is responsible for this matter. Do I need me to call him over?"
"Let him come to my office later, and to help me meet with the managers of a few jewelers in the evening."
"What?" Allen was a little confused.
"It's the heads of famous jewelry brands such as Cartier, Bulgari, and Tiffany in Los Angeles. They said that there was a business to be negotiated," Eric said, seeing Alan still looked puzzled and explained: "A private matter has nothing to do with the company, just ask me for a date."
