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

"Erica's latest date? It is reported that Mr. Strange is not only a medical elite, but also recently active in New York as a scholar of occultism. Maybe he performed a 'magical trick' for Erica?"— —New York Daily News

"After Mr. President and Heartthrob Wayne, let's guess how long this Dr. Strange will keep Erica Parker interested?" - Los Angeles Times

"Erica's public relations spokesperson denied the rumors, categorically stating that 'Strange is not Erica's date, and all her recent focus is on her career'." - "USA TODAY"

In her bachelor apartment in Greenwich Village, New York, Erica had already hung up several phone calls from two Sherlock Holmes and Mr. President, and her answer was unified and short, "Fake news, I'm busy, goodbye."

As for Mr. Osborne, he was standing in Erica's bachelor apartment, staring at the entertainment newspapers in her hand with unkind eyes.

Erica, on the other hand, didn't have much reaction to the false scandals on the headlines. She seemed more willing to spend time flipping through the movie magazines she ordered, even if there was no good news on them——

Critics in the Hollywood industry are criticizing this year's movie market, "1994 was one of the best years in Hollywood, but after only one year, who would have expected that the Hollywood movies in 1995 would be so stupid and embarrassing, It’s hard to see how unforgivable it is.”

"It's not that there are no high-quality movies this year, but most of them come from England, Italy and Australia, while the big Hollywood producers have made a lot of violent bloody movies and shallow comedies."

The gold medal screenwriter William Goldman, who has always been venomous, even called 1995 "the worst year since the era of Hollywood sound films", "You know what the subtext of the whole Hollywood is now? Hey, everyone, listen up, We have great news to announce: We're going to make more shit movies for you guys!"

This year of poor film performance has caused many people in the industry to focus on high-quality first-line stars, such as Erica, who has been absent for a whole year, "Erica, for five consecutive years, has brought us the best movie of the year every year." Erica, one of the best American movies, what the hell is she doing this year?"

"This is the first time since she went to Hollywood that she didn't have any films released in a whole year. I almost miss the sight of her leading the entire schedule with her blockbuster films. Even though many film critics are starting to worry whether she is too drunk commercial money, but we have to admit that Erica Parker is our movie quarterback, and Hollywood expects her to return to the game as soon as possible to knock out this bad movie year."

Erica flipped through the movie publications, and about her absence for a whole year, I am afraid it will be repeated next year. The market in Hollywood in the past two years is really not good, and scripts suitable for her are rare. The characters' age, race, After considering aspects such as image, complexity, and overall quality of the movie, the number of scripts finally selected was zero.

She was almost convinced that this was the famous 'Oscar curse', rumors that the honored actress would suffer bad luck and career decline in the following years.

And playing Ruth in "Titanic", Erica is trying to maintain her commercial value.Anyway, after she became the queen of Lian Zhuang, the Oscar judges will obviously put her on the bench, and it is almost impossible to commend her in recent years.

This is undoubtedly a risky behavior, but Hollywood has always been changing rapidly. In order to maintain the status of high-quality first-line stars and continue to sit firmly at the top of the star hierarchy, Erica can only do so.

She put aside the film publications and began to deal with the proposition manuscript assigned by the art instructor, and she also had to complete a piece of filming work, which was due to be submitted next week.

Due to the lack of a suitable film script for her for two consecutive years, Erica is more and more yearning for the position of director. She hopes to lead the establishment of a film project, and the training she received in Columbia University's School of Art gave her the ability to implement this plan talent.

Thinking of this, Erica temporarily stopped typing manuscripts, went to the bookcase and rummaged through a copy of the "Los Angeles Times" she had previously kept, which recorded a sensational civil lawsuit.

"Here—" She found the publication from Michael Chekhov's "To Directors and Playwrights", when the mobile phone rang.

Erica is surprised by the caller, Bruce Wayne.They haven't talked or seen each other in the not-too-short time since Joker's helicopter crash.

"Hi, Mr. Charming." Erica's tone was light, and there was no alienation or indifference that I hadn't seen for a long time.

And Wayne still seemed to be a somewhat frivolous heartthrob, "Hi, Miss Stunning, I'm glad you're still willing to answer my call."

After he chooses to stop a much worse City Hall bombing instead of rescuing her.

Although he was sure at the time that Peter Parker was going to pick her up, it was true that he hadn't chosen Erica.And the reason why she was in danger was also because of his involvement.

"So why are you calling today?" Erica asked him.

"I saw the new scandal." In fact, he was chased by many reporters to interview his "feelings about his ex-girlfriend's love life". Of course, Bruce's feelings would not be very good. "About Strange, I think you should Do you know his true identity?"

Erica had to repeat her uniformly short answer, "That's fake news."

Wayne pauses for a moment, and Erica doesn't say anything. There used to be a real attraction between them, but they always seemed to be a step away from each other, never really close.

When it comes to relationships, for Bruce, there are always things that get put on the back burner.

And during Erica's lack of contact with Bruce, she seems to have become less able to ignore a gentleman who has been "flattering" her repeatedly.

This may be the importance of timing.

But soon, Bruce regained his heartthrob style, his voice was deep and sexy, "Frankly speaking, after returning to Vanity Fair after not having a 'real girlfriend' during this period, my market is still good."

"Who made Bruce Wayne the sexiest man in Gotham?" Erica said briskly, "But why did you tell the media that I dumped you so quickly?"

Master Wayne asked back, "Isn't that true? That Osborne just wants to lock it in your belt."

And Harry Osborn obviously bought a lot of media, so that the scandal between him and Erica never appeared in the newspapers.And that's of course because Erica had said in the past that she didn't want to make it public.

So Bruce went on to say, "If Osborne's relationship with you is announced, I expect the Americans to set a timer on him, or to bet on him, and see how quickly you get rid of Lex Luthor and Bruce Wayne. , How many days can Osborne last?"

"Anyway, it's much longer than you." In the bachelor apartment, Harry Osborn took the mobile phone from Erica's ear, said to Wayne, and then hung up directly.

Erika watched him with her arms folded, while Harry stared at her silently.

The phone in his hand rang again soon, and the caller was of course Mr. Wayne who had just been hung up on the call. Erica didn't have time to appreciate Wayne and Osborn's flirtation. Find out in the Los Angeles Times.

The headlines were the blockbuster civil suit she was following, the Hinckley, California, water pollution case.

"Pacific Gas and Electric Company polluted the water supply, drinking water containing carcinogens, and made many residents of Hinckley Township and nearby areas sick. In 1993, Erin Brockovich, a single mother with no legal background, worked in Maas Irene worked in a law firm, and Irene happened to pay attention to the medical records of Hinckley Township, and found out the truth about the water pollution through investigation.”

Contributor clearly favors Erin Brockovich's side, "Since 1993 Masri Attorney and Assistant Erin Brockovich has represented Hinckley residents in lawsuits against the $200 billion Pacific Gas and Electric Company , and to this day, this civil compensation case has still not been able to reach a final result.

But Irene Brockovich, with uncompromising courage and perseverance, vowed to win the largest civil compensation case in the history of the United States, and Pacific Gas and Electric Company, which is widely believed to have to pay compensation to local residents More than three hundred million dollars. "

Erika sets her sights on Erin Brockovich on the news, an amazing woman who has had a difficult life, a single mother raising three children alone after two failed marriages; With a legal background, being able to work in a law firm is more due to sympathy, but in the Hinckley water pollution case, she was not only persistent and responsible, but also went through hardships and never compromised.

"This is the movie I want to make." Every time Erika sees this case, this idea comes to mind.

She still has a few months to join the filming of "Titanic". After the filming is over, maybe she can start to prepare the film with the theme of "Eileen Brockovich and Hinckley Water Pollution Case" .

Before that, Erika hoped to meet Erin Brockovich as soon as possible and get the right to adapt her real life story.

In the bachelor apartment in Greenwich Village, Harry Osborn watched Erica flip through the Times from time to time, and frequently talked to the staff of the Los Angeles studio, as if he had completely forgotten the call from Bruce Wayne just now. Of course, it also seemed to ignore him and stay near her.

Harry Osborn was a little dumbfounded. His worst enemy was not the politician in the White House or the heartthrob in Gotham, but her seemingly endless career prospects.
