Chapter 147 Edward's Hollywood Holiday

"Sounds really cool, I'm sure your grandpa will be very happy."

Scarlett Johansson complimented.

"Yes, if he is or is, I believe he will be very good." Edward said with his head down. Thomas Hoffman's investment in him is really not expecting anything in return, but it's a pity that his predecessor didn't know how to cherish it.

"I'm sorry," Scarlett took the initiative to hold Edward's hand to comfort him. Being handsome naturally has an advantage in this regard.

Edward naturally wouldn't be so stupid as to let go, but clenched a little bit: "It's okay, you don't know."

"Can you tell me about your grandfather?" Scarlett asked proactively.

Europeans and Americans seem to like this way of comforting others, and then the other party says, you follow along and feel that he is a good person and shouldn't leave so early.

"My grandpa? He was a Jewish German. He was very smart and capable, but he was not stingy. He was very generous to anyone who could help him earn money. He also enjoyed himself. Now my house It was left by him, and there is a huge wine cellar with a lot of wine in it. Although I don’t drink much, these wines look very interesting and have a sense of age.”

"It's true, it has a taste of history." Scarlett Johansson agreed.

"Yes, besides wine, he also likes watches, suits, antiques and many other things, and spent a lot of money on them. He also likes cars. There are many classic cars of Ferrari and other brands in the garage at home. I have never driven them. .”

"That's really cool, I hope I can see it sometime." Scarlett Johansson was indeed very interested.

It was impossible for Edward to foolishly invite her. After all, he had only just met, and there was still a lot of time, and it was still time to remember.

He just smiled and continued: "He is an avid fan, supports the local Union Berlin, and invests in the team without asking for returns. I am continuing his career now. Everything in the team is not bad at present."

"Football? I don't quite understand." Scarlett Johansson said with a frown. She was indeed very interested in Edward. The man's eyes seemed to be able to talk, which fascinated him very much.

"No problem, you can go to Berlin to watch the game when you have time, and I can arrange someone to pick you up."

"Okay!"

Scarlet said with a smile, but she still didn't know what kind of treatment Edward was talking about.

"Union Berlin was a great team. In East Germany, everyone was under the watchful eye of the Stasi. At that point in time, football was the only entertainment. But even then, they wanted to bring the people's only Entertainment was in their hands, they built a team, and with the help of referees, they dominated East German football, and Union Berlin was the only team that dared to stand up to them."

"Sounds like a hero story."

"A heroic story indeed, and that's why my grandfather always supported Union Berlin."

"What about you?"

"In fact, I'm just for the legacy. My grandfather's legacy requires how many championships the team wins before I can get that legacy."

Scarlett thought that Edward would say some high-sounding words, but she didn't expect to get such an answer.

This man... is very honest.

"It's an honest answer and a great story. Now I'm a little tired and I'm going home to drink some coffee to help my digestion. Are you interested in going to see it?"

It was impossible for Edward to refuse Scarlett's almost explicit words. He got up and helped Scarlett open the chair, letting her straddle his arms.

When Edward called the bodyguards out, she was still taken aback. She didn't expect that Edward would bring so many people with him when he went out.

"You help her drive the car home."

It is impossible for Scarlett to go out without driving so late, and Edward will naturally invite the other party to take the same car, so someone needs to help her drive the car back.Scarlett's car is very girlish, it is a Volkswagen Beetle.

Soon she arrived at the place where Scarlett lives. Although the girl is only 19 years old, she has made many movies, so she has moved out of her mother's house.

"Edward, would you like more milk?"

"Of course, a little sugar. I don't like black coffee."

Edward doesn't like the taste of black coffee very much, it's too bitter for him.I won't go into details about the following process, Edward almost wanted to cry, and finally he wasn't drunk.

--------

"Eddie, I made you breakfast."

It was a night when Scarlett even changed her name.

Her problem is mainly due to the lack of fatherly love when her parents divorced since she was a child. All the boyfriends she found in her previous life were always messy. Fortunately, she met Edward. Edward is quite good at taking care of people. There is a wide range of knowledge on the Internet, and it is easy to be fascinated by the little girl when chatting.

"looks good."

Put on your shirt, Edward said with a smile.This kind of simple American breakfast, bacon and fried eggs with bread and milk can be long-handed, but he still chose to praise the girl.

"Then try it!" Scarlett Johansson urged.

"Delicious!" Edward grabbed a piece of bacon and put it in his mouth. It tasted really good.

"Then you will eat more later, go wash your face and brush your teeth now, there is a new toothbrush in the drawer on the left." Scarlett pushed him to the bathroom.

Edward put his arms around the girl and kissed her on the cheek before running into the bathroom laughing.

The girl whose face was oiled by him smiled coquettishly from behind: "Asshole!"

She likes Edward very much. Although she has known him for a short time, she feels inexplicably safe about him, and his eyes seem to have countless stories hidden in them, so she can't help but find out.

After a quick breakfast, Scarlett suggested, "Shall we go to Santa Monica Beach today?"

"Of course!"

Edward thought for a while and asked, "Can I bring another person?"

"girlfriend?"

"one!"

Edward is unwilling to lie. After all, this kind of thing cannot be hidden. Scarlett should have heard about him, and Edward doesn’t want to lie to her. If she can accept it, everyone will be happy. If she can’t accept it, then it’s just a beautiful encounter. up.

The girl looked at his cloudy face.It is really not common for a person to have several girlfriends, but it is not uncommon in the United States. She has seen a lot of things about Mormons on TV.

The girl still felt a little shocked when this kind of thing really happened to her.

But think about Edward's goodness again, and he is reluctant to part.In the end she nodded with difficulty.

At this point, the matter was half resolved, and Edward had to explain to Caroline that Brazilian girls are more talkative. When he called and explained the situation, the other party didn't cry or make trouble. When the two sides met, they held hands like good sisters. Together, Edward really can't understand, women are creatures that are difficult to understand.

----------------

"Eddie, come here!"

Caroline and Scarlett greeted each other in the water, and Edward took off his shirt and went into the water together.

It was still very fun to play with the two beauties. Later, he took the two girls to Rodeo Drive in Beverly for shopping and a sumptuous dinner.

It wasn't until the next day that Edward remembered that he had other things to do.

Now he needs to find a good soundtrack artist for the film. Nolan gave a few names, and the rest depends on his choice and the other party's schedule. This kind of thing is always mutual. It is impossible for him to come to the door and the other party is at home. Help him make the soundtrack immediately if you are free. A good soundtrack artist usually has a relatively full schedule.

In the restaurant opened by Robert De Niro, Edward met Philip Glass. The most famous work of this soundtrack master so far should be "The Truman Show". Edward also prefers Jim Carrey's performance in it. So I am quite interested in this candidate.

"Sorry, Mr. Hoffman, I'm late."

Philip Glass had obviously done his homework before coming and knew Edward's identity. Even though he wasn't late, he still chose to apologize when he saw that Edward was already sitting here.

"No, I'm actually early."

Edward said with a smile: "The main reason today is to meet you and discuss the possibility of cooperation by the way. Before that, please help yourself choose the right food. It would be better to chat while eating."

"That's great, I just haven't eaten yet."

Philip Glass was not polite either. After ordering a few things, he poured himself a glass of wine and asked, "I heard that you have made a big production. Did you invite me here today to discuss the soundtrack?"

"Yes, that's it. The film is estimated to be completed in more than a month. You also know that I have spent a lot of money on this film, so I strive to be perfect. I want to find the best soundtrack artist in Hollywood."

Philip Glass thought to himself, how much money is there? I have never seen anyone who needs a budget of more than 2 million U.S. dollars to make a feature film. The main cost of that big ship is still on the set. Now I have a lot of experience.

He said carefully: "It's a great honor to receive your praise, but it's a pity that my schedule is already full."

Edward felt a little regretful, but he still smiled and said, "That's no problem. It's a pleasure to see you in itself."

Edward's behavior made Philip Glass feel very comfortable. Some rich people always try to solve everything with money. In today's situation, they may ask him how much he needs before he is willing to help, although in that case, he may I will take orders, but I am not very happy after all. That kind of approach lacks respect.

Philip Glass took a sip of his wine and said, "I might recommend someone to you, if you want."

Edward asked curiously, "Who is it?"

"Thomas Newman."

Philip Glass gives a name.

It seems that Nolan has also given this name, but Edward can't remember it clearly. He asked, "Does he have any masterpieces?"

Scarlett Johansson, who was quiet on the side, couldn't stand it anymore and reminded: "Thomas Newman is the soundtrack composer of "The Shawshank Redemption". He is a master of Hollywood soundtrack!"

"The Shawshank Redemption" is a feature film with a very good reputation. Of course, it is impossible for Edward not to know. Edward has watched this movie several times and it is indeed very wonderful. However, he really has no impression of the soundtrack in the movie.Without him, the story line is too tight and fascinating, and I can't even remember the soundtrack of the movie in retrospect.

But thinking about it, it should be very good. Since the other party has been the soundtrack composer for "The Shawshank Redemption", it must be a good choice. Edward's only worry is whether the other party is competent. After all, the style of music is ever-changing, and some people like it. Delicate and sad style, some composers' works are majestic and majestic, personal soundtrack style is also very important.

For the soundtrack of the film, Edward hopes to be majestic and majestic, and sometimes it needs the solemnity of individual heroism. The soundtrack is the key to the success of a good movie, and it cannot be sloppy.

Although he still had some doubts, he did remember the name.

It wasn't until Edward managed to get the phone number of the other party that he found out that the other party was in New York, and now there was no way to have an interview, so he had to continue to wait.

Scarlett Johansson helped her get the phone number. Scarlett's mother is a well-known producer, otherwise she would not have had such good resources since she was a child, and things like fighting parents are common all over the world.

Edward waited in Los Angeles for three days before waiting for the other party.

Thomas Newman didn't look handsome, but he was very stylish. Edward almost recognized him as Tom Hanks at first glance. They both had square faces, not too sharp, and looked too much alike.

"Mr. Newman, here is the outline of the movie, and my thoughts on the soundtrack, can you take a look at it?"

Edward is always very humble when facing talented people. His grandfather is also like this. They all respect talented people. Being outstanding in the business field is no different from outstanding talents in other fields, and is not nobler than others.

Edward's attitude made the other party very fond of it. Newman watched it for a while before raising a question: "This story seems to be a personal heroism in a sports cloak. The team is just an introduction, and the focus is on Thomas?"

"Yes, Thomas Hoffmann, my grandfather."

Edward nodded and said that the other party is worthy of being an elite practitioner in Hollywood, and he immediately saw through the essence of the movie after simply reading the outline of the story.

"Then, I understand, your request is not a problem, but I need to see the effect of the finished film before I talk about it." Thomas Newman said seriously. He was always very focused on the soundtrack and didn't want to make a promise directly.

His attitude is exactly what Edward hopes. If the other party directly says that he can do a good job, Edward may have to murmur in his heart. After all, the soundtrack should fit the plot and picture of the movie, and you can't just sit in the room and make it yourself.

"Okay, the movie won't let you down."

Judging from the parts that have been filmed before, the quality of the film is very high, and Edward has such confidence.

"Pleasant to work with."

Thomas Newman stretched out his right hand. He is a decisive person. After seeing Edward, he decided to take the job.

"Happy cooperation!"
