Chapter 133 - Lunch part 2

        Eric was surprised by her speculation, although Julia Roberts was still far from the truth, but one thing was true, Jennifer Aniston did find him sleeping with someone. Fortunately, Virginia was smart enough, to hide when the paramedics come to the villa, and only showing up after the whole event was over, and his state was completely stable.

Julia keenly grasped the brief change in Eric expression, revealing a surprised expression, she said: "No way, did I guess right?"

"Absolutely not, I swear ... ..." Eric laughed: "I just accidentally fell, my pathology report has been published in some newspapers, surely you saw it, I have bruises all over my body, do you think Aniston has the ability to cause me such a wide range of injuries?"

"That's not necessarily true," she looked Eric up and down as if trying to imagine where she will start if she wanted to cause Eric those kinds of injuries.

"Well, let's not talk about such an unpleasant topic, let's talk about 《Steel Magnolias》, I only spoke to Mr. Herbert Ross a few times on the phone, so I don't know how thing are going there."

Julia honestly shook her head, she wasn't sure why Eric wanted her to star in such a film, she thought that Eric was trying to suppress her paycheck, because, in Julia's view, 《Steel Magnolias》 is complete absence of any central story, the film was just depicting the ordinary day to day life story of a group of housewives.

"I still think that this story is too ordinary ... ... there is no bright spot?"

Eric was about to reply, but he stopped when saw the waiter coming to serve them their dishes, and patiently waited for the waiter to finish filling their glasses with red wine, only after the waiter left did he ask: "What kind of bright spot do you think a film like this should have?"

Taking a sip from her glass of red wine, Julia who didn't know how to explain said: "At least ... ... at least something exciting?"

"At least there should be an unforgettable love story, or big scenes, car chases, explosions, flames."

Julia quickly nodded her head: "Yes, there should be at least these things?"

"I won't criticize you in public," If you want to know why I chose this film for you then come to my house this night, I'll give you a detailed analysis of the movie," Eric said while giving her a creepy smile.

"Ah ... ... no thanks." Julia flinched and subconsciously leaned back in her chair when she saw the look Eric was giving her, and quickly refused, she knew if she did go with him, she would quickly lose control of herself.

Eric was just teasing the little girl, quickly put away his cynical expression, and put back his poker face, and said: "Actually, the success or failure of this kind of film, depends on the director's ability to arouse the audience sympathy? I have carefully studied 《Steel Magnolias》 script, It is a good story that can bring the audience to tears."

Julia who was still giving him an uncertain look, asked the thing she was most concerned about: "How much money do you think this movie can get at the box office?"

"What do you think?" Eric asked back.

Julia hesitated for a moment, then stretched out two fingers, soon she thought the number was too underrated, so she added Two more, hesitating, she took back one.

She thought it will be good if the film can get $30 million at the box office, with the size of the movie budget, fireflies can still make a small fortune.
