Chapter 126 - Spielberg (Sponsored Chapter)
(TL Note: Thank you, Mr. Robinson, for sponsoring this chapter.)
Shaking his head, Eric explained: "Tom, the film is named 《Running Out of Time》, Because the two protagonists are running against time. And at its core the rivalry between the two protagonists is what makes the film good if the time given to the two characters become unbalanced, the splendor of the film will be greatly reduced. And, I think in this movie your character has the biggest play space, and Tom Hanks also need to share his scenes with Joe Pesci, plus your role is a one-man show, so there's no need to added to it."
Although Cruise knows that what Eric said is very reasonable, his face still showed a touch of displeasure.
Originally, Eric didn't have much opinion about Tom Cruise's personal qualities, he didn't even pay attention to the rumors about him in the tabloids. After all, most of the rumors and gossip about the celebrities in Hollywood are false, and the things he heard and read about him from reputable sources, all said that he is a very dedicated and hardworking man, that's why Eric decided to cooperate with him.
But now, he began to regret that decision, because the two of them like to control things around them, Eric was sure that in the process of filming 《Running Out of Time》 the disputes between them will be unavoidable.
Thinking carefully about it, Eric thought that Tom Cruise was feeling superior because in the film industry Eric qualifications were too shallow.
"Well, Eric, about the bus girl, Brooke Shields, isn't she ...... too tall?" Cruise height has always been his biggest weakness. So, after getting rejected, Cruise impulsively brought up this topic, but he regretted it as soon as he said it.
Brooke Shields was six feet tall (183 Centimetres), and if she wore high heels, it is estimated that she can be as tall as Geena Davis when she hugged him at the awards ceremony.
Trying hard not to laugh in his face Eric advised: "Tom, you don't have to worry about her, you'll both be sitting in the two scenes you share with her. There are no shots of the two of you walking side by side? In both the bus encounter and the restaurant date."
"All right." Cruise nodded sheepishly and drank a mouthful of wine to hide his embarrassment, then he walked away in a hurry.
Eric had just turned, wanting to return to mingling with the crowd, when Virginia popped out of nowhere and hugged his arm as if afraid he will slip away.
"Hey, that's too tight, I promise I won't run away," Eric said while laughing, he could clearly see that she was afraid he will start talking to another woman.
Trying to hide her embarrassment, Virginia gave him an aggrieved look and released his arm as she said: "Humph, run to another woman if you want, I don't care."
Eric looked down at his watch as he said: "Forget it, let's go back so you can stop always being afraid, of me being taken away from you because tonight I'm all yours."
"Really." Virginia once again grabbed arm in joy: "Can we go to your house tonight?"
"Sure but will have to sneak away, because I'm sure the paparazzi must be keeping an eye on us."
Virginia thought for a few moment's then said: "If we take the lift directly to the parking lot, then leave using Mr. Sid's car, I'm sure there won't be any trouble."
"That's my smart girl," Eric said in a whisper, if they weren't in public, Eric would've definitely reached out to pinch her beautiful cheek.
