I'm in Hollywood

CHAPTER 13 - MEETING A GOBLIN

CHAPTER 13 – MEETING A GOBLIN

A week later, the school scenes were completely wrapped up, and the crew began shooting elsewhere.

"Wow. WOW." Susan Sarandon came up to Eric, outstretched her hands and squeezed his face as she exclaimed: "You look exactly like my husband."

"Ha, ha."

"That's so strange."

"Yeah, really strange." Eric agreed.

"What exactly is going on ?" Susan said.

At this time, looking at the monitor, Penny Marshall shouted: "Cut ! Eric, you laughed again, this is the fifth time already, the fifth time ! Can't you restrain yourself ?!"

People often labeled directors as being bad tempered, but it was to be expected. Every time actors screwed up, they wasted time and money, no matter how good-tempered one was, one would definitely be angry, let alone those whose fuse were visibly shorter.

In this case, Eric could only apologize again and again: "I'm sorry Penny, I promise it won't happen again."

Penny Marshall rolled her eyes superciliously, it wasn't the first time Eric had guaranteed that.

"Everyone in place, get ready to try again."

Susan Sarandon who was next to Eric said: "Eric, the next time I squeeze your face, try to not focus on me."

"Yes, Ms. Sarandon, I'll try."

This passage wasn't even that funny, but Eric didn't know why he would just start laughing every time.

When they started shooting again, he tried Susan Sarandon's suggestion, and although he came close to bursting out loud many times, he restrained himself and they finally wrapped it at the sixth shot.

During the break, Eric walked towards the woman and said: "Ms. Sarandon, thank you for before."

"It was nothing, Eric. Just Susan is fine. You're really talented you know, I've never seen a first timer act like you do."

"Oh, thank you very much. Uhm, Susan, can I ask you a question ?"

"Yes ?"

Eric said: "It's like this, Susan your body is in an amazing shape, how do you maintain it ?"

"Oh wow, Eric, are you hitting on me ?" Susan raised her eyebrows and smiled as she asked.

Eric noted her meaningful expression and was reminded that sometimes, in Hollywood, older female celebrities would look for younger boyfriends. It wasn't rare for even sixty-year-old women to try to get their hands on 30 year-old youths.
