Hollywood (我就是好莱坞) Part I

CHAPTER 191- Her Heart Flipping Up

He vaguely remembered that Jennifer Connelly, who got little attention after she had grown up, caught the eyes of Hollywood with her bold performance in a thriller movie. She had luckily transformed from a child star with clean and pure image since then. It was not a long time until she starred in The Rocketeer. However, with the box office of that movie flopping, other films of big production that she acted as the leading actresses had all failed in term of box office. As a result, for a long time no one had invited her to star in any mainstream commercial movies in Hollywood where people were obsessed with superstitions. From then on, she never got any role in a movie in the next five years. It was several years later when she appeared on the screen again and her screen image was completely different from what it was before.

"Eric?" Seeing Eric zoning out, Brooke Shields slightly patted on him unpleasantly. This man was so terrible that he should get distracted in front of a gorgeous beauty like her.

"Oh, sorry." Eric apologized, no longer being distracted by those thoughts. Then he asked her in uncertainty: "The rocketeer you have mentioned is fiction movie that happened in Los Angeles in the 1930s?"

Her jaw dropped when she heard what Eric said. Therefore, Eric was completely certain of it.

In the face of Eric's confident eyes, Brooke Shields asked him: "Eric, how do you know that? It...should it be a secret?"

"If I've guessed it right, this movie is adapted from the original novel of the same name by Stevens. I happen to have read that book." Eric shrugged. He indeed watched that film before, but he never read the novel, a fact that he wouldn't reveal to her. As for the content of the film, the scene that he found most interesting was when the sign of Hollywood Heights was reduced to Hollywood after being smashed. Many Hollywood movies preferred to echo the plots with historical events, among which the most popular one was Forrest Gump.

"Eric, how do you like this movie being shot based on the novel?" Brooke Shields was somewhat clever, raising an important question after hearing what Eric said.

"I don't know about it. It was a marvelous novel and depended on how Disney is going to adapt it." Eric shook his head without hesitation.

He had no intention of reminding her not to accept the role in this movie since it might not be helpful if she had already signed a contract with Disney.

What was more, since Disney shot the movie one year in advance, the plot would be different from what it was previously. Sometimes, even if one day difference would lead to a change in a screenwriter's mind, let alone one year. The Rocketeer might achieve an unexpected success in the current time and space. If he ventured to remind her not to star in this movie, which instead turned out to be a blockbuster in the future, he would ruin her career. It was him who had to make up for her losses and offered her a role in his movie. So it was better to be an onlooker.

Shaking the red wine in the glass, Eric absent-mindedly thought about The Rocketeer, which then reminded him of Jennifer Connelly. He did not know where Jennifer Connelly had been. Since he already forgot the taste of her lips, he wondered when he could kiss her again.

"Eric, I'd better not to bother you as you are always zoning out." Standing up unpleasantly, Brooke Shields looked at him with complaint and left away.

Staring at her body covered in a silver mermaid gown, Eric suddenly felt that her body was perfectly suitable for dressing up as a mermaid with tail.

Eric shook his head to leave every muddled thought behind, deciding to go to Aniston's house to spend a night with her.

At night, in Aniston's house.

She leaned against Eric's arm, suddenly talking about bearing a child: "I am only twenty years old. I don't want to be burdened by a child, unable to do anything."
