Chapter 073: Unpredictable Disaster
Although Al just nodded slightly after hearing Eric's praise, he himself was still immersed in his previous emotions and did not intend to come out.
This happened to be the right thing. Eric stopped talking and quickly directed the personnel to prepare for the next shot.
After the play was over, Edward expressed his gratitude to the audience. Vivian walked forward. As a girl who had not finished high school, of course she could not hear the complex emotions contained in Edward's piano. She leaned over and lay on the piano, and Vivian spoke and said, "I don't know you can play the piano yet?"
Edward smiled and stared at Vivian: "I only play for strangers."
Vivian was stunned for a moment, and without delving into the reason, she moved to Edward: "I'm a little lonely staying upstairs alone."
Edward blinked quickly, sniffed gently, turned around and sent the others away, and finally did not forget to thank him. He was always so polite, even when he ordered others.
Vivian couldn't help but tease Edward's behavior: "Does people always want to listen to your instructions?"
Edward did not answer, and hugged the girl in front of him, and leaned her head tiredly against Vivian. This was the first time the girl felt the man's weakness. She was at a loss for a moment and could only follow her instinct to touch Edward's hair, and her index finger outlined the lines of the man's jacket.
Edward unbuttoned the girl's nightgown in silence and carried Vivian to the top of the piano. Vivian obediently allowed the man to kiss and caress her. At this moment, the girl turned into a pool of spring water and silently invaded Edward's dry emotional world.
The lens slowly stretches away until it is completely obstructed by the pre-prepared obstacles.
But neither Al Pacino nor Julia stopped performing, and the two were still entangled. Photographer Nickel Frank looked at Eric, and after receiving a hint of his eyes, he wisely turned off the camera. All the crew members present looked at Eric silently and asked what to do next?
Eric knew that things could not be allowed to go on, so he patted his hands gently, raised his voice and shouted, "OK, Cut!"
Julia, who was on the top of the piano, heard the sound and was the first to escape from her confusion. She glanced at Eric shyly and panic, pushed Al away, sorted out her scattered dress, and draped her nightgown on her body again. Al also came to her senses and saw the strange eyes of the crew around her, she could only smile awkwardly.
In order to resolve the awkward atmosphere, Eric hurriedly sent the others to prepare for the next scene.
"Sorry, Eric, I just lost my composure."
Eric came to Al and smiled and said, "No, Al, your performance is excellent. This is the most perfect state for an actor. Oh, Julia's performance just now was also excellent." Eric did not forget to praise the girl beside him in the end.
Julia didn't feel the joy of being praised, and her eyes dodged Eric's gaze: "I...I'll go to make up first."
After saying that, the girl left in a hurry, Al was a little confused: "What's wrong with her?"
Eric spread his hands: "Maybe he was shy, I also found it a little strange. She has never been like this in the passionate scenes she filmed before. Who knows?"
In the following shooting, Julia obviously made many unstoppable mistakes. However, the most important scene today allowed Eric to pass it satisfactorily, saving a lot of time. Therefore, Eric's performance is no longer so impatient.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the crew finished work again. Al smiled and found Julia who was taking off her makeup in the trailer: "Miss Roberts, are you free in the evening? A new French restaurant has just opened on Shenaga Avenue. I want to invite you to have dinner."
Julia paused, and the makeup artist and assistant were about to leave temporarily with tactfulness. Julia stopped the two people and said to Al: "Mr. Pacino, can you wait for a while?"
"Of course, I'll be waiting for you outside," Al said, and walked out of the trailer.
A few minutes later, Julia took off her makeup and nodded to Al, who was waving to him, but took the lead in walking to Eric, who was discussing things with his assistant, Alan Fisman.
...
"Prepare for 50 extras in this scene. The polo team is looking for a more professional one. Anyway, the filming is almost over, and our budget is still sufficient..." Eric was just talking, and the ostentatiously caught Julia walking towards him, nodded slightly to the girl, and then focused on digging the folder with a pencil and discussing with Allen.
"Eric, Al is going to invite me to dinner?" Julia's voice was a little low.
Assistant Allen raised his eyebrows slightly, and he obviously felt the temptation in the girl's tone. Eric was originally focused on explaining some things to Allen, but when he heard Julia's words, he blurted out without passing through his brain: "Go, don't delay shooting tomorrow."
The girl stood there and was stunned for a few seconds, staring at Eric in a daze. Seeing that the man still didn't react much, Julia suddenly became very angry. This anger made her feel a little desperate for a moment. The girl took two steps forward and kicked Eric's calf hard in Alan's surprised gaze.
Eric screamed and fell down.
Alan, who saw everything, was surprised to forget to support Eric who fell to the ground. The corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and the calf muscles were instantly tense. Those were high heels, how painful it was!
This woman is not crazy!
Hearing Eric's screams, everyone who was still in the shooting venue quickly gathered over. Julia regretted it immediately after kicking it out. However, since she had done this, the girl also felt like she was throwing her mouth and turned around and left. Julia's assistant Alison Green looked at Eric who had been helped up with worry, and followed Julia with her steps.
Alison drove silently Julia back to the apartment.
After Julia entered the room, she sat blankly on the sofa in the living room. Alison carefully poured Julia a glass of water and placed it in front of the girl. She asked worriedly: "Julia, we won't be fired, are we?"
Thinking of the man's domineering and arrogant personality, Julia was not sure what would happen. She held the glass and whispered: "I'm sorry, Alison, you may be implicating you."
"It's okay, at worst, you can find another job." Alison was free and easy. She wouldn't be too worried about gains and losses if she changed her job or was only an assistant: "But why do you want to kick Mr. Williams?"
Julia took a sip of water in a panic, without a reply.
Alison tentatively said, "It's not that he stopped you from dating Mr. Al, you just kicked him?"
Julia still didn't say anything. Alison took Julia's silence as his default and angrily attacked: "It's so too much. You have only had a relationship once or twice. You are not his forbidden body. How can he limit your freedom of love?"
Julia scratched her hair: "Alison, stop talking, can you... let me be quiet?"
"Oh, or I'll leave first, call me if you have something to do. Julia, cheer up, you're not a famous actor now, even if you leave that bastard, you can still get the movie."
"Alison..."
"Okay OK, I won't say anything, I'll leave first."
...
The location is still in the crew. Eric sat on a recliner, with people standing around him. His trousers were lifted up and he caught cold air from time to time as the private doctor pressed.
"Mr. Williams, I didn't hurt my bones, just apply some blood-activating and stasis-removing medicines. But it will definitely not be convenient to move these days."
Eric said: "Thank you for your purpose, Dr. Glent."
"You're welcome, just call me if you have something to do, I'll leave first." Dr. Glent left a bottle of potion, turned around and left with the medicine box.
"Okay, everyone will go back, I'll just have a rest."
The crew members around gradually dispersed, and in the end they were only Alan Fisman and Al Pacino. Al felt that what happened just now must have something to do with him, so he decided to stay and explain it clearly.
He originally thought that Eric and Julia had no close relationship, and today he resonated with Julia when he got into the role, so the fickle old man became interested in hunting for beauty, but he didn't expect this result.
"Allen, I probably didn't do anything bad about the world just now, right?"
Allen saw the purple on the boss's calves and shook his head quickly.
"Then what's going on?"
Allen followed Eric after forming the crew, and he had little understanding of Eric and Julia's affairs.
"Director, I don't know either. It's just that Miss Roberts asked you a question, you answered it casually, and then she...
Eric rubbed his temples in distress: "What did she ask me just now? I was looking at the shooting table, but didn't hear it very clearly?"
Allen glanced at Al Pacino, not sure whether he should say it in front of him.
Eric followed Alan's gaze and remembered that Julia seemed to mention Al in her words just now.
"Eric, I'm so sorry. I was planning to invite Miss Roberts to have dinner just now, but I didn't expect it to cause a conflict between you two." Al explained the incident calmly: "I thought you two were not... not that close, so... I was abrupt."
"Oh, I remembered it," Eric said suddenly, "Julia did ask me this question just now, Alan, how did I answer?"
Allen glanced at Al and Eric and said truthfully: "You just said to Miss Roberts: Go, don't delay tomorrow's shooting."
"Nothing else?"
Allen nodded affirmatively: "No more."
The three men looked at Eric's calves with weird expressions at the same time.
