Chapter 774 IMAX
Candice Bushnell is indeed a woman who knows Manhattan well.
The few people did not go to the famous attractions that foreign tourists often visited. Throughout the afternoon, she and Eric and the other two almost ran through several major areas of Manhattan, the exquisite small galleries in Soho, the handicraft shops in Greenwich Village, the small bars for underground rock bands in the Lower Town, the authentic Chinese restaurants in the West Village, etc.
Of course, countless luxury brand stores all over Manhattan are definitely indispensable. Although these luxury goods are expensive in the eyes of ordinary people, they are only equivalent to the price of a few lollipops for Eric. However, one, two, two, and three women are very smart and just looking at it but not buying it. However, Eric took the initiative to buy a few bottles of perfume in the Dior store and gave it to the three women. Anyway, women are still enjoying the perfume.
Finally, Candice Bushnell even mysteriously took them to an old apartment in Upper West City, which is said to be a visit to a famous Manhattan psychic.
Eric was not an atheist. He believed that there were too many unknown things in this world. However, Eric had no intention of contacting these things. Therefore, he did not walk into the apartment with three women.
After waiting in the car for more than twenty minutes, three women walked out of the apartment. Candice Bushnell's expression was as normal, but the two girls looked at Eric with a strange expression.
When they all got into the car, Eric asked, "What did that psychic tell you?"
Candice Bushnell shook his head and smiled, "I didn't ask anything, I just brought Giselle and Alexander over to see what they asked, I don't know."
Eric looked at Giselle and Alexander again, and the two girls shook their heads almost at the same time.
"Okay, then I won't ask," Eric asked Candice without any force, "Where will go next?"
It was less than five o'clock in the afternoon, but the weather was relatively short in winter and it was almost evening.
Candice Bushnell pointed to the street on his left: "There is Central Park there. I don't have time to run too far today, let's go there."
Eric nodded and signaled the driver to drive. He walked east along 82nd Street and arrived at Park Avenue outside Central Park in a blink of an eye.
After getting off the car, he was discussing whether to go to the park to row, but Alexander pulled Eric's sleeve and pointed to the statue outside a building not far away with excitement: "I know there is "Museum Night in the Museum", well, that, what's inside."
Eric looked over and found it was the American Museum of Natural History and smiled and said, "If you are curious, then go and have a look. It shouldn't be closed now, right?"
Candice Bushnell said: "No, there's still an hour."
The four of them came outside the museum and were about to walk up the steps, but Eric was attracted by a billboard hanging outside the museum. The advertisement read "Amazon Journey", IMAX Super Visual Experience".
Candice Bushnell saw Eric stop suddenly, looked along his gaze and said, "This is a documentary that is being played in the IMAX screening hall. My friend and I have seen it. It is a very powerful thing, the screen is very large, and it is as high as five floors. Unfortunately, I heard that this technology can only play science and education documentaries within 40 minutes. If the movie can be played, it will definitely be even more shocking."
Eric nodded and said, "Let's go in and see this."
"Okay, but hurry up."
As he said that, four of them bought tickets and walked into the museum, and soon found the location of the IMAX screening hall, which happened that the last broadcast of today was about to begin.
Because the closing time is almost approaching, there are not many tourists, and the four of them easily found the best viewing location in front of the center.
After the lights dim, the screen lights up, and a large panoramic view of the overhead suddenly appears in front of you. The endless Amazon jungle seems to be coming, giving people a sense of immersive shock.
Of course, Eric had experienced this feeling more than once, and Candice did not have a very surprised expression. However, Giselle and Alexander, who saw this shocking visual scene for the first time, let out a faint scream at the same time.
Giselle had just grabbed the seat next to Eric. At this time, he came to Eric's ear intentionally or unintentionally, and said with some regret: "I didn't expect the Amazon jungle to be so beautiful, but unfortunately I live in southern Brazil and have never been there."
Eric felt the good perfume smell on the girl, which was left behind when he was trying it at the Dior store not long ago, and said, "The more beautiful things are, the more dangerous things are. I just visited the tropical rainforest in northern Australia not long ago. It is said that there are hundreds of deadly poisonous snakes there, and if you don't pay attention, you will be killed. The Amazon jungle is much more dangerous than the tropical rainforest in Australia."
Although his attention is often attracted by the immersive IMAX scene in front of him, Giselle is more willing to chat with Eric and said without saying anything: "Australia, it's the same as my hometown, and it should be summer now. Eric, what are you doing in such a dangerous place as the Australian Rainforest?"
Eric felt the IMAX scene in front of him, and thought about it in his heart, which did not prevent him from chatting with Giselle with all his energy and said, "There is a movie in the company that is filming there, and I go to visit the set. Speaking of which, I am also very curious about Brazil, but unfortunately I dare not go."
Giselle said disbelief: "Eric, are there any places you dare not go?"
"Of course, I went to Mexico some time ago and then I never dared to go again."
Of course, Giselle was concerned about what happened some time ago and said, "I think my hometown should be better."
However, when the girl said these words, her voice fell unknowingly, and she seemed very unconfident. She remembered that more than half a year ago, she left her hometown in southern Brazil and rushed to Rio de Janeiro for the first time. Then, on the same day, the only $50 she had on her was stolen.
Eric noticed Giselle's expression and asked, "What are you unhappy about thinking about?"
"Well," Gisele nodded and talked about his experience: "...that's all the money I had on. At that time, I felt that the sky had fallen. I cried alone on the street for a long time. Later, I asked for some money from passers-by and called back, but my father scolded me again and said I was too careless."
Eric listened quietly, feeling a little emotional. Few people's success is easy. Only those who have experienced ups and downs will yearn for success more. Without these bumpy experiences, there would be no "Grandma Ji" who has long controlled the throne of the supermodel.
"Speaking of this, these things may not be a bad thing for you. When you succeed in the future, these episodes will definitely become good materials in your personal biography."
When Giselle heard Eric say this, he remembered the words that the psychic god said to her half an hour ago.
The woman who looked a bit witch at that time asked her what she wanted to know.
What she cares most about is of course her career. She finally left Brazil, but she never thought of going back in shame.
The psychic murmured at a crystal ball for a while, and then said that she had met someone recently, breaking her original life trajectory and couldn't even see clearly what her future would be like.
Upon hearing this, Giselle asked the other party very devoutly what to do, but the media just shook his head and claimed that he couldn't see it, which was too much trouble.
Gisele has always been a very smart and decisive girl. She immediately paid the few hundred dollars left in her wallet to the other party. The company was the only little money left in the installation fee she had paid for in advance to Eric. She had just made half a year of debut and didn't receive much work at all. Even the living expenses were paid by the company.
The psychic is considered a person with a temperament. He was obviously happy to see the banknotes. He muttered to the crystal ball for a longer time, and then told Giselle that she saw two people, but the others were still blurred.
Two people?
At this time, in the IMAX screening room of the American Museum of Natural History, Giselle leaned forward, crossed Eric and Candice Bushnell, and looked towards Alexander.
Eric happened to find the two of them recently, so it should be her.
Alexander Ambrose has been secretly paying attention to the situation on Eric's side. He noticed that Eric and Giselle seemed to have a happy chat, and he felt a little jealous and disappointed. Seeing Giselle looking over, he was about to sit down without a trace, but when he thought of something, he nodded slightly to Giselle.
After watching the documentary, the museum was almost closed. The four of them hurriedly left. According to Candice's suggestion, they found a restaurant for dinner. Eric first took Candice, who was living nearby, and asked the two girls' residences, and then asked the driver to drive to the lower city.
The apartments arranged by the two agencies for Gisele and Alexander are both in the East Village of the Lower Town. When cars drive into their destination, there are old red brick apartments nearby. The car stops outside an apartment building. This is Alexander's residence, and Gisele's rental house happens to be not far from here.
The car stopped, Giselle and Alexander got out, and Eric got out, curiously looking at the dark streets around. Although it was already dark, Eric could still see the difference between this street and other places in New York at a glance.
A major feature of the United States is that there are many cars. In Manhattan, most streets are full of various cars on both sides, but this dilapidated street looks empty at first glance. It is obvious that the people living in low-income people who can't even afford cars, and such neighborhoods are usually very chaotic.
Looking at the few figures swaying in the dark street lights, Eric asked, "Is it safe for you to live here?"
Although he had already expected it, neither Giselle nor Alexander expected that Eric would send them back.
After a day of getting along, Eric's mature, steady temperament and gentle and considerate personality made the two girls feel good about him unconsciously. This made them not only lose their final restraint and uneasiness, but instead look forward to something.
At this time, standing by this street that was almost familiar, both girls were slightly stunned, and felt as if they were losing something in their hearts at the same time.
After hearing Eric's words, the girls reacted. Alexander followed Eric's gaze and said, "It's okay, the company has told us not to go out tonight, um..." After hesitating, Alexander mustered up the courage and said, "Eric, can you go up and sit?"
Eric said: "You should have other roommates?"
"Well, we live together, but it's okay, they will definitely welcome you."
"Then forget it," Eric smiled and said, "I won't bother you anymore, go up."
Alexander nodded regretfully and walked towards the apartment reluctantly. Eric looked at the girl entering the door and said to Giselle beside him: "Get in the car."
Gisele pointed to the intersection not far away and said, "It's right in front of us that we can walk through."
There were two bodyguards sitting in the car. Eric was not worried about robbing the road, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
The two walked side by side. While walking, Giselle leaned closer to Eric, hesitated for a moment, and carefully reached out to hold Eric. Seeing that he was just smiling, he felt relieved and whispered: "Eric, I am the only one in my apartment."
Eric smiled and said, "Your company is quite generous and you are willing to rent an apartment alone."
"No, my roommates, they are all in Milan."
Eric also remembered that February is the day for several major fashion weeks. Due to different legal provisions, New York Fashion Week will not use models under the age of sixteen, but in relatively open Europe, models can take the stage at the age of fourteen, which is why most well-known models start in Europe.
If you guess correctly, the next Milan Fashion Week should be Giselle's first appearance on the stage, but unfortunately he was suddenly recalled to the United States by himself.
"I just wanted to meet you two, but I didn't expect it to affect your work. Well, Milan Fashion Week shouldn't have started yet. It's not too late for you to fly back tomorrow, right?"
"It's okay," Gisele shook his head: "I want to stay in the United States and focus on preparing for the movie."
"Ha, there is nothing to prepare for your character," Eric shook his head and said, "So go to Milan. If there is any problem, I can say hello to your company's senior management."
Gisel seemed to want to say something, but he nodded obediently.
The two walked to the intersection, turned around, and soon arrived outside Gisel's residence.
"Eric," Giselle was about to speak, remembering the situation where Eric rejected Alexander just now, hesitated, leaning against Eric, his voice was very low, and said, "You can stay tonight, and, I, actually, I still..."
Speaking of this, the girl suddenly got stuck.
She was embarrassed to find that she didn't know how to say a certain English word.
In Portuguese, he shouldn't understand.
