Eric smiled and grabbed Scarlett Johnson's hand with a playful smile. Judging from some of the small details just now, it is probably not accidental that he could meet Scarlett here.

However, Eric did not pursue these twists and turns. There were too many people in Hollywood trying to get close to him. He just said to the girl who was still quite young: "I know you, you played his daughter in Sean Connery's "The Deadly Trap".

After all, the little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old could not have any deep thoughts. When Scarlett Johnson, who had tried to keep calm, heard this, his face suddenly showed a shocked expression, and he stuttered: "Really, is it true, Mr. Williams, how are I acting?"

"Great," Eric smiled and praised.

In fact, Scarlett Johnson only has a few very simple sets of shots in "The Deadly Trap", and he can't tell any acting skills at all. However, her ability to get the role of Sean Connery's daughter in this movie shows the girl's family's deep connections in Hollywood.

"The Deadly Trap" is a crime thriller by Warner, costing $50,000, which is considered a big movie. Needless to say, the heroine Sean Connery in this movie is also very famous. She is Spielberg's wife. Scarlett Johnson was able to play the daughter of Sean Connery and Kate Capsho a few years ago when she turned 10 years old. This starting point is enough for 99% of Hollywood actors to sigh.

When the other girls heard Eric praise Scarlett Johnson, they reacted and immediately introduced themselves in a verbal way.

Eric listened patiently to the group of girls, Barabala for a while, then pointed to his watch and smiled and said, "Okay, girls, since you are back, I'm going to get home from get off work, too."

Amid a sigh of loss, she felt that Miranda proudly stepped forward and held him and planned to leave together. Eric let go of the girl without any trace, shook his head and said, "It's not possible today. Go play with your sisters, but remember to go back early. I will call Sanchez to ask if you have gone home on time."

Miranda wanted to show her intimate relationship with Eric, but at this time, Eric refused in front of a group of best friends. She pouted and shook his arm and said coquettishly: "Eric, I don't want to go back to Beverly."

"As a man, don't make trouble," Eric was unmoved. Looking at the girls around him, Eric also realized that he was too laissez-faire to Miranda. This girl was not as smart as she thought.

After a little heavier tone, Eric smiled at the other girls and boarded the helicopter with his bodyguard.

Looking at the black helicopter whizzing away, Scarlett Johnson felt a little excited. When her mother mysteriously told her to have sex with Miranda more, she was also very confused. All this experience today, especially when she just met Eric Williams, made her completely understand her mother's intention.

What's more, Eric Williams actually knew him, which was definitely the biggest surprise today.

Since 1988, Eric directed a large number of originally unknown young actors have become first-line superstars. Even though Eric has a huge wealth, his recent two consecutive movies with a box office of over one billion yuan have made his position in Hollywood a level that no one can reach.

Although Scarlett is not old, she has entered Hollywood's fame and fortune market early, and she is much more skilled than Miranda in terms of human nature. She knows very well that Eric just knows her name, which is a very big opportunity for her.

Thinking of the movie adapted by Miramax's best-selling novel that I auditioned for recently, if Eric Williams could say a few words for him, he would definitely be able to get the role easily.

That character is much heavier than the small character in "The Fatal Trap", equivalent to the second female lead. His mother's connections in Hollywood are not enough to help her. However, after this time, I don't know when I will see Eric Williams again.

Well, maybe, the way Eric Williams can be asked from Miranda.

"Miranda, what exactly is it like in Shell Villa?"

"Is Eric very good at **?"

"When will you take us to the Spike Manor?"

“…”

Another chirping sound came, interrupting Scarlett's thoughts.

Although Eric didn't take Miranda away just now, this did not affect the feelings of several other girls towards Miranda.

Western girls are very precocious, and none of the girls around Miranda are ignorant of the world. They are not sensitive to issues such as age, but they are very envious of Miranda for being Eric Williams's girlfriend. Therefore, as soon as Eric left, Miranda was immediately surrounded again and asked questions.

Miranda Kerr was surrounded by her sisters, and her original loss quickly dissipated and soon became arrogant.

Scarlett made up his mind and surrounded him with a smile.

"Iron Man" does not have many scenes in Las Vegas, but as one of the most popular hotels in Casino, Caesars Palace naturally cannot stop operating to cooperate with the filming of the film. After coordination, the crew will use three days to shoot related scenes.

Eric left Los Angeles early on Monday morning and rushed to Las Vegas. He wanted to fly to Las Vegas on his VH-6O helicopter, so that even if he left Malibu's sharp corner estate, it would only take an hour and a half to reach his destination, but the convoy following the crew would take a whole morning.

However, Eric believes that the film crew will start filming just like the army marching and fighting in ancient times. As the core creator of the crew, it is better to share the joys and sorrows with the employees.

The crew has already booked a mid-range suite at the Caesars Palace Hotel for everyone to live in. Naturally, Eric is not able to choose the villa-style apartment he once lived in. He is now unable to stand living in the hotel. However, if you live in your own home, there is no problem. These days, Eric's assistant office has prepared a villa for Eric in advance in Las Vegas.

After arriving in Las Vegas, the crew did not have any scenes in the afternoon, but only arranged the banquet scene where Colonel Roddy presented Tony Stark's awards tomorrow. Although the scene was at night, as an indoor scene, there was no problem with shooting during the day.

The previous half month of the cave scenes were filmed, basically, Eric and Ed Harris, who played Dr. Ethan. This time, Jeff Bridges, Don Chandell, Natasha Hensquitch and Larry Ellison, who was tricked by Eric to play supporting roles will all join the group.

In a buffet restaurant in Caesar Palace, crews who had been rushing for hundreds of kilometers were having a meal together. After a long journey, most people were a little tired, but the atmosphere in the restaurant was very lively.

However, Eric hid at a dining table in the corner of the restaurant and talked about the negotiations to acquire Viking Records with Barry Weiss, president of Firefly Records who had just returned from Europe. It has been two months since he came into contact with Viking Records' parent company Eddie Records Group.

"Since a week ago, Baida has not made any concessions. They bit the price to death at $1.3 billion, which is 100 million higher than the upper limit we can bear. I have contacted the senior executives of Baida several times, but there was no result. I could only fly back and let you decide."

Barry Weiss introduced the current situation in one breath and looked at the food he had just received from the buffet table, but it was difficult to develop an appetite. He just picked up the pure water next to him and took a sip, then looked at Eric, waiting for him to make a decision.

Eric didn't mean to start eating, and tapped his fingers on the table. After a while, he said, "If we give up on the acquisition of Viking Records, do you think EDI can find a buyer who can get rid of this burden?"

Barry Weiss hesitated and said truthfully: "If the price exceeds 100 million US dollars, it is basically unlikely. Viking Records' actual value is at most at least 800 million US dollars. Except for us, no other buyers are willing to take over at a high price."

"Then there is no problem. Although Viking Records has declined for a few years, its foundation is still there, which is why we are willing to take over. If we delay for a few years, Viking Records will probably rot fundamentally. At that time, no one will be interested in it even if it is cut by half. So, although Fireflies need Viking very much, as long as the management of EDI will be a little rational, they will not miss this good opportunity to get rid of their burdens," Eric shrugged and said, "So, call the other side later and tell them our highest offer, 1.2 billion US dollars, so that EDI will give us an accurate answer tomorrow. If they refuse, there is no need to continue the business."

Barry Weiss was a little worried: "Eric, I think $1.3 billion is not unacceptable."

"$1.2 billion, $1.3 billion, is not much different for Firefly Group," Eric said. "But, Barry, since we decided to make the highest offer of $1.2 billion, we must stick to it. If we make a concession this time, there will definitely be concessions in the future. If we retreat step by step, we will see that we cannot retreat one day. Viking Records is our best choice, but it is definitely not the only choice. If this transaction fails, as long as you want, I can still give you a budget of $1.2 billion to expand the Firefly Records department. So, think about it carefully and I'll talk to Jos and the others for a while."

After Eric finished speaking seriously, he picked up his plate and walked towards Joss Weiden and others, ignoring Barry Weiss, who was in a state of worry about gains and losses. Although Eric admired Barry Weiss very much, if he didn't even make such a decision, Eric wouldn't feel a pity even if he left the Firefly Group.

When he walked to Joss Weldon, Jeff Bridges, Larry Ellison and others, Eric happened to hear Larry Ellison, who had already shaved off his face, asking Joss Weldon how to play Hapi Hogan, looking like he was planning to do something and love something. Since he learned that Erik personally played Tony Stark, Larry Ellison has been holding on to the spotlight of Erik. Erik could also see Larry Ellison's thoughts, but he was not worried at all, but was very happy.

The character of Hapi Hogan doesn't even have a few lines, and Larry Ellison does not have the natural strong aura of old Hollywood actors such as Jack Nicholson in front of the camera. It is basically impossible to steal the protagonist's limelight. Eric originally was worried that Larry Ellison would deal with it. If this is the case, he would rather replace him temporarily.

When he noticed Eric coming over, Natasha Hensquqi, who was listening to the conversation between several big men in a serious manner, immediately patted the empty seat beside him and smiled beautifully: "Eric, sit here."

Eric nodded, and Larry Ellison protested dissatisfiedly: "Hey, Natasha, this is wrong. A beautiful woman should wait for the man to come forward and show her diligence, and she should not turn around."

Natasha Hensquitch didn't mind Larry Ellison's teasing at all, and said generously: "Mr. Ellison, I've been waiting for you to show your kindness just now, but unfortunately you only have Mr. Director in your eyes."

This joke was obviously much more hated than Larry Ellison, and everyone couldn't help laughing.

Eric smiled and put down the plate, sat down next to Natasha Hensquitch, feeling the smell of perfume coming from the girl, and asked, "So, Larry, what were you talking about with Jos just now?"

"Eric, I've read the Iron Man comic again during this period. Hapi Hogan is a very important character, so don't you think I've appeared too few times in this movie?"

"Larry, I think since you only get one dollar for your salary, you should be stingy and don't think about doing a job other than one dollar."

Without waiting for Eric to continue, Larry Ellison once again showed a resentful expression and complained: "To be precise, I paid $4.99999."

Eric corrected seriously: "That's an advertising sponsorship, not a backlog. We have a contract, it's very formal."

The laughter rang again.

After lunch, Barry Weiss made up his mind and chatted with Eric for a while before leaving the Caesar Palace Hotel and planning to return to Los Angeles immediately.

The afternoon set and rehearsal work did not require Eric to participate. He was planning to go back to his residence in Los Angeles to rest for a while, and Natasha Hensquitch came over: "Eric, you shouldn't have a job in the afternoon. Can you tell me about our rivalry?"

Everyone gradually left the restaurant, and Eric also took Natasha Hensquqi out, smiling and said, "Speaking dramas to beautiful actresses shouldn't be a privilege for directors? Jos will probably hate me when he knows it."

Natasha Hensquqi gave Eric a blank look, but his expression was quite charming, and said, "I just want to talk to you about the lines. I can't control what you men think."

Eric smiled and said, "Then come with me. I bought a villa at the Las Vegas Country Club and I'll live there these days."

Natasha Hensquitch showed a worried expression, not sure whether it was true or not: "You don't want to take me out for something?"

"Will you resist?"

"Do you want me to resist?"

"The harder the better."
