The top of fame and fortune [Comprehensive British and American]

Nepal, Kathmandu

In early June, Erika arrived in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, located in the southern foothills of the Himalayas. She followed the UN Human Rights Center and visited and helped many women and children suffering from humanitarian disasters such as hunger and malnutrition during the two weeks.

"Erica, about today's itinerary, you will visit the children's care center together with the volunteer medical team from New York Presbyterian Hospital." In the Ford car, Ms. Pillay, the UN human rights director who was traveling with Erica, said.

When Ms. Pillay mentioned this volunteer medical team, she seemed to be very respectful, "The neurosurgery expert at the Presbyterian Hospital is simply a gift from God to the surgical community. He has treated more than ten patients here who suffer from epilepsy and congenital cranial disorders Children with brain and spinal cord deformities."

"The Presbyterian Hospital is the top medical system in the United States, and neurosurgery is their trump card." Erika has some basic understanding of the Presbyterian Hospital, which is affiliated to Columbia University School of Medicine.

The Ford drove through the old streets, and the road conditions were naturally not good. It took some time to arrive at the children's care center. Erika got out of the car. Just at this time, the official car of the volunteer medical team had also arrived.

Then, she saw the black car door being pushed open, and a tall man stepped down. He was wearing a shirt and trousers that seemed a bit too elegant among the volunteer crowd. He had a white medical uniform, a pale face, high cheekbones and With a straight snub nose, it looks arrogant and impersonal.

And Erica looked at this gentleman's eyes that were not only deep, but also narrower than ordinary Caucasians, she couldn't help frowning, and raised her voice, "Xiali?"

The other party looked at her, and she was able to clearly see the pair of iris eyes with different colors, and his lips with obvious lip line were pressed tightly together in an unfriendly manner.

Erica didn't look very happy, what the hell is Sherlock doing with her?

So Erica approached her 'Mr. Holmes', "Charlie, why did you appear in Nepal—"

Wait - she stood in front of the man with a slightly longer face, her eyes were fixed on his short hair combed back rigorously, where did Xia Li's curly hair go?

Erika's gaze returned from his short hair to his face, which of course was her familiar facial features, which did not meet the usual handsome standards, but also possessed a strange sense of beauty and charm.

But compared to Sherlock's previous arrogance that was extremely unsocial, now he looks a little gentler, elegant and full of elite style.

Erica frowned, she didn't want to admit it, she seemed to recognize the wrong person.

But the other party has already pointed out this matter, "Sorry, I'm not the 'Xiali' you mentioned."

The male voice was melodious and had a typical East Coast accent, but Erika looked at his face, still confused, but could only say, "Sorry, I misidentified the person, you are very similar to my uncle."

It can be said to be exactly the same.

After the other party heard her say the word 'uncle', the wrinkles between his brows seemed to deepen a bit. As a man in his thirties, he didn't think he looked like an elder.

Fortunately, at this time, Ms. Pillay, the director of the Human Rights Center, approached the two and introduced Erica, "This is Dr. Strange, a neurosurgery expert, and also a United Nations Messenger of Peace."

Erica was even more surprised at this time after mistaking Dr. Strange for Sherlock Holmes. In fact, she had heard of this prestigious medical doctor who was almost world-famous.

But before today, Erica didn't know that he had exactly the same face as "her uncle detective".

Although surprised, Erica did not forget her work today. She gave Strange a polite smile and walked into the child care center with volunteers. She was arranged to cooperate with other volunteers to teach children our English literacy class.

In addition, Erica's acting skills have not been ignored. She learned some Nepalese children's dramas and nursery rhymes in advance, and also tried to sing "Beyond the Rainbow" from "The Wizard of Oz" in Nepali.

She said that Indian languages ​​are not up to standard, but the performance is still very good, everyone is smiling, and a child said to Erika, "I saw "Phantom of the Opera" in the newspaper, and they said it was the best. .”

Erica sat among the children and sang "all Iask of you" from the musical, "Nomoretalkofdarkness [No More Talking About Darkness], Forgetthesewide-eyedfears. [Dispelling Eyeful Fear]"

As her singing sounded, not only the children in the child care center, but other volunteers also looked at Erika. She was wearing the simplest black T-shirt and jeans, and she was slender and powerful. The sexy and coquettish Hollywood star on the big screen is sincere and real at this time.

"Nothing can hurt you," Erika's voice was extremely gentle, "There are warm whispers in my ears, I will give you free wings, let the sun dry your tears, please guide you, and the direction is firm."

Stephen Strange was wearing a flat white medical suit, and his eyes were on the blonde woman surrounded by children. She didn't seem to be the "American lover" or the "world lover" in the media. But it makes people feel like spring breeze.

Erika's two-week volunteering trip comes to an end after today's visit to a child care center with a donation to UNICEF that will go to Nepal and other areas suffering from humanitarian disasters .

It was already the end of the month when Erica returned to the United States, and almost as soon as the plane arrived at Los Angeles International Airport, she received a call from her chief financial officer, Keira Brown, "Honey, I'm afraid you have to come to the company as soon as possible. In the last month, This is the third time Director Cameron has met with me, and you have to decide as soon as possible whether to invest in his big ship."

"Oh, Titanic—" Erica drawled, "it's a $[-] million budget that would drive any investor crazy."

Keira Brown seemed relieved, "So we're refusing to finance it?"

Erika's lips moved, but she couldn't say the words. She got into the car and said to Keira, "Call Director Cameron, and I will talk to him about this giant ship."

It was already evening in California, but in the president's office, neither James Cameron nor Erica seemed to have any plans to end the discussion meeting. Cameron said to her, "I personally dived into the real Titanic, It was a huge emotional experience."

His enthusiasm for this movie is self-evident, but Erica has to say, "When the real Titanic was built in 1910, the cost was about 150 million pounds, which is about 1.5 million U.S. dollars at present, that is Say, the movie costs more than the ship."

"But she will bring miraculous and unprecedented hits," Cameron seems to be very good at persuading the producers, "and even become a symbol of Hollywood at the end of the 20th century."

Erica was noncommittal about this, but looked at the movie script that Cameron had given her before, "With this 165-page movie outline, it can't even be called a perfect script?"

In addition, "Titanic" has more other problems, "The shooting time is long and difficult, and the technical implementation is also extremely difficult."

James Cameron did not refute these facts, but talked about the choice of actors a bit dogmatically, "Erica, I hope you will play Ruth, you have the reserved stubbornness and oil painting of a noble girl that Ruth needs. The richness and luxury of middle-aged women."

He added, "I'm afraid you need to learn an Oxford accent."

Erica didn't know what to say, and Cameron gave her a friendly smile, "I think you're secretly cursing me for being bossy."

"No, I'm just thinking about how this movie can become what you call 'a miraculous, unprecedented hit, a symbol of Hollywood at the end of the 20th century'." Erika said with a raised eyebrow.

Cameron replied decisively, "A miracle is needed."

"It doesn't sound safe." Erika leaned against the back of the chair with her arms folded.

A Hollywood business director said to her, "In recent years, you have created countless miracles, and now, you are just about to add one more. Seriously, Erica, in terms of movie miracles, you and I've created too much, haven't I?"

Erica had to admit that Director Cameron was right, "It sounds like a gambler, because we have almost never lost, so we are almost unscrupulous about this big gamble."

Whether it is Cameron or Erica, they have never encountered Waterloo in terms of career and business, so they are even more fearless.

She opened the script of "Titanic", "About Jack Dawson, the prototype seems to be Rui Fan?"

"I do see River Phoenix as my first choice," James Cameron asked Erica. "Maybe you can talk him into it?"

Erica is not sure about this, "I'm afraid Rui Fan has no plans to return to Hollywood, but I will try to talk to him about it."

"Besides Phoenix, I think Leonardo DiCaprio is a great choice," Cameron said of the young actor, seeming to favor him. "He's 21, perfect. age, perhaps you have watched his "Different Sky" and "Diary of the Edge?"

The handsome actor with blond hair and blue eyes flashed in Erica's memory. She obviously couldn't tell Cameron that her initial impression of this young man was that the appearance of him was very similar to her lover.

"DiCaprio is indeed very suitable for the role of Jack Dawson." Erica said she agreed with director Cameron's views.

She recalled that handsome and exquisite face, which was a face that could become the dream lover of women all over the world and a box office bomb at the end of the 20th century.
