Chapter 270： City of freedom

Hearing Eric said, Xie Lisha Cody really had a short hesitation.

But soon she realized that her hesitation was a bit ridiculous.

What is Brad Pitt's current situation? She is clear again. In the past six months, Brad has only occasionally played a small role in some movies or TV series. In this case, as long as you can get the role of a heavy TV drama actor, what else can be scrupulous, know that many Hollywood second- and third-line stars are involved in the "x file" male and female protagonist competition.

Thinking about this, Xie Lisha Cody said: "Mr. Williams, I believe that "X Files" is definitely a very good TV series. If you can star in the TV series, even if it is finalized, what? Relationship."

This woman can really talk, Eric thinks.

But see Xie Lisha Cody went on and said: "But, Mr. Williams, signed the five-season contract in one breath, is it too long?"

Eric immediately shook his head and said in a no-consideration tone: "Not at all. The six stars of "Friends" signed a five-season contract."

Xie Lisha. Cody doesn't know if Eric is telling the truth. If this is the case, she really can't find any reason to bargain, let alone, let's not say five seasons, just a few more seasons, it seems she And Brad Pitt has no qualifications and chips to bargain.

Eric observed the expression of Xie Lisha Cody and said: "If you have no opinion, I will go to see Brad Pitt's audition tape tomorrow. If his performance can satisfy me, I will inform you to sign the contract. ""

The next day, Eric came to the studio where Fox was auditioning and found a videotape of Brad Pitt's audition. Repeatedly watched a few times, confirming that Brad Pitt's current acting is indeed enough for the role of Fox Muller, and found the Fox and the firefly on both sides of the producer to discuss. It was quickly determined.

The rest is the heroine and some other supporting actors. Eric certainly can't care about the little supporting roles. Just put some energy on the selection of the heroine.

At the same time, another variety show that promised Fox has finally started. After considering it for a long time, Eric finally selected the most insured variety show, "Who will be a millionaire."

This past program originated in the United Kingdom. It appeared in the world in the late 1990s. Eric remembered that many domestic TV stations across the Pacific had similar imitation programs. Until Eric passed, this program still did not exit the TV screen. It is often said that this program in a certain country has a rumor that a millionaire has appeared. This program is aimed at the general public's desire to get rich overnight, so there is no limit to the times. Unlike other programs, although it may be successful now, it is troublesome to operate. "Who will be a millionaire" is much simpler.

Therefore, after writing the plan, Eric first sent people to the countries that pay attention to intellectual property protection in the world to register the copyright of the program. After the program is hot, I believe that it can be earned only by selling the copyright. A big stroke.

"Hey, hey. Eric, how do you see this topic, "Little Ghosts". How many brothers and sisters are there at Kevin's house?" In the car to Malibu, sitting in the co-pilot Drew Holding a small hard-shelled book in his hand, write and draw on it from time to time.

When I heard the question of Shantou, Eric smiled and shook his head: "No, I said, the design problem must be closely related to life, and it must be very interesting. Your question is completely in the memory of the tester, who will be idle. Nothing to care about Kevin, there are several brothers and sisters."

Drew snorted. Retorted: "The problem you design is even more boring. Who will be idle and care about how insects breathe."

Eric reluctantly squinted at Xiao Nizi: "At first glance, it was completely unintentional when I was in school. This question must be in the biological textbook."

"You are a sophistry, only nerds will care about these issues." The girl swayed. Biting the ball pen in his hand for a while, he then asked: "Where is this, what is the specific time of the Hollywood sign?"

Eric nodded: "This question is good, write down, write down."

"Hey," Shantou smiled smugly, and then wrote it on the small book.

Eric thought about it, then looked at Shantou and asked: "Right, I really don't know which year the Hollywood sign was established. What year is it?"

Xiao Nizi gave Eric a white look: "How do I know."

"..."

Eric asked silently: "So how did you come up with this problem?"

"Yesterday just passed by." Shantou bite the ball pen and then looked up and looked at the road ahead: "How far is it?"

"Five minutes, I will be there soon."

The car stopped outside the sharp mansion in Malibu, and Eric opened the door and got off the bus, but he heard a scream in the car: "Yeah, Eric, I stumbled and hugged me out."

"Climb yourself out," Eric thought that Xiao Nizi was blaming again. He ignored it and went straight to Frank Gehry, who was waiting at the gate of the manor, and his private lawyer, Edward, and others.

"Wow, Eric, you are so embarrassed," Eric just had to reach out to Frank Gehry, who was enthusiastically attracted, and a soft body behind him threw himself on his back.

Eric’s backhand slaps on the little buttocks of the girl: “Don’t make trouble, don’t you see so many people here? If you mess up, I will put you in the trunk.”

"I really got to my knees, I am red, I don't believe you." Xiao Nizi, who was hanging behind him, said with grievances.

Eric’s Xiao Nizi, who was hanging on the back, caught it and hugged her head and looked at the white tender calf that appeared under the knee-folded skirt. Although there was a small piece of blue and red on it, it did not bleed or swollen.

"I can't stop, it's good to run two kilometers down the ground." Eric put Drew down, and Xiao Nizi giggled and pulled his neck for a while before he barely let go.

Eric just released Drew, but Yu Guangzhong felt that someone in the distance was faintly looking at this side. Looking at the past in the direction of intuition, but did not find the figure, I thought that I might be a bit suspicious. do not know why. He always has an uncomfortable feeling that seems to be being tracked by people these days.

Maybe I should have a bodyguard team, and Eric has such a thought in mind. But on the surface, he focused on a few people in front of him.

"I am sorry, Shantou always likes to make trouble," Eric shook hands with Frank Gehry and Edward Lewis.

"It doesn't matter," Frank Gehry laughed, and Edward Lewis followed.

"Then let's go in, always look at the design, waited for more than half a year, and it's finally built."

Eric can't wait to look like it. Let Frank and others laugh.

"Please come with me," Frank said, calling everyone on the bus. The gate of the manor was opened by the temporary guards. The group drove directly to the mansion on the edge of the cliff. As for the other buildings in the manor, Eric can have no idea to look at it one by one, as long as the acceptance is acceptable, anyway, these buildings are places where servants or guests live.

A few cars drove along a curved ramp to the main cliff-side building that Eric called the City of Freedom.

When the group got out of the car, Eric saw the shell-like silver building in front of the building that was more refined than the one in his mind. Unable to make a surprise.

The Iron Man Malibu mansion in memory is also a concrete building, but the building in front of it is inevitably used with some reinforced concrete, but most of the main structure is constructed of granite, special glass and low alloy high hardness steel. The shell-like building's surface is also covered with a silver-titanium alloy that shines in the sun.

The manor originally submitted by Frank Gehry had a construction budget of only $5 million, but under the promise of Eric’s unlimited funding, Frank Gehry added the budget, first to $10 million, and finally added At the last moment of construction, I applied for a $2 million budget to Eric, 90% of which was spent on the building. To know that this era, 20 million dollars of funds can already build a twenty-story building. And now. The entire housing price in Malibu has not reached the level of tens of millions of dollars in the afterlife. Most of the Malibu villas are priced at only a few hundred thousand dollars, and the mansions of private beaches and other facilities are only a few million. This shows how extravagant this monolithic building costing $20 million. Eric remembers that the billion-dollar mansion of Bill’s classmates who had been talking about in the past lives is actually only more than 50 million US dollars, and that is still after 2000.

The group of people stood outside the silver building for a few minutes, and finally Frank Gehry said with a sigh of relief: "Well, I think we still go in and see, I believe the structure inside this building will be more Surprising.

The staff opened the door to the mansion and Frank Gehry walked in with the crowd.

Just entering the hall, the first thing the group saw was not the large living room, but the sparkling sea.

"Wow, it's beautiful." A group of men still kept restraint and restraint, but Xiao Nizi ignored these things, and exclaimed to the floor-to-ceiling windows that were more than ten meters long and two meters high.

"Eric, Eric, come see," Drew squatted on the glass window without hesitation, looking out at the sponge.

Eric is a little worried: "Mr. Gehry, are these glasses ok?"

“Of course not,” said Frank Gehry. “This is a special glass that looks no different from ordinary glass. But this glass is actually three layers, with a layer of polycarbonate in between, even if it is shot, as long as Not a large-caliber sniper rifle can be blocked, so ordinary impact will not cause any harm."

One of Edward's assistants heard Frank Gehry say this and was surprised: "Mr. Gehry, according to what you said, this is not bulletproof glass, should it be expensive?"

Frank Gehry shook his head and said honestly: "Although I didn't answer the bulletproof glass, it was almost the same. As for the price, 20 million US dollars is not spent on these things. Eric, I bring everyone Have a look?"

"Of course," Eric didn't pay any attention to Xiao Nizi, who was watching the sea on the glass, and went along with Frank Gehry to other places.

Frank Gehry said as he walked: "This floor is mainly the living room, kitchen, fitness room and reception room. According to the design draft that Eric gave us, the basement is a studio. The second and third floors are shared. Eight bedrooms, a study room, a small auditorium, and a total of twelve bathrooms in the villa."

Eric gently nodded his head and walked along the spiral staircase to the second floor. Listening to Frank Gehry’s introduction, looking around, and then everyone went to the top, here is a large giant that can look around. Lying through the glass window, you can not only look into the city of Malibu, but also the distant sea view.

Looking around, Eric suddenly thought of a question, to Frank Gehry: "Mr. Gehry, are these glasses single-sided?"

"Of course, I can ignore this important detail. All the glass windows in this building have been specially treated. Although you can see the light from the outside, you can't see anything in the room."

"That's fine," Eric nodded and looked at the scenery around the master bedroom. If he and a girl were on the big bed, they were seen through the window with a telescope. It's too bad.

It took more than ten minutes to turn around, and the group went to the living room again, but Xiao Nizi was already missing.

"I think Miss Barrymore is definitely going to the pool outside," Frank Gehry said with a smile. "It's just that the scenery there is very good. Let's go there and talk about things."

After a car door next to the living room, several people came to a huge open-air swimming pool facing the cliff.

Although the indoor business is also very good, but after all, after a layer of glass, there is no occlusion, a look of the sky.

"Mr. Gary, are you swimming now?" Xiao Nizi’s voice came from behind a recliner.

Everyone found that Shantou didn't know where to find a sunglasses and put it on his face. He was lying on a lounge chair and basking in the sun.

"Of course, Miss Barrymore," Frank Gehry seems to like Xiao Nizi very much. He said with a smile: "But wait until Mr. Williams signs the contract on the project acceptance contract." )
