Child fought several mouths, Eric heard in the hall another best cinematography award item result to draw a charge, was best Director and best picture, therefore said to Jodie: „I guess that you definitely cannot think tonight any appropriate gambling stake, that slowly thinks that we should go to outside.” 小孩子似的斗了几句嘴,艾瑞克听到大厅里又一个最佳摄影奖项结果出炉,接下来就是最佳导演和最佳影片,于是对朱迪道:“我猜你今晚肯定是想不到什么合适的赌注了,那就慢慢想吧,我们该去外面了。” Jodie Foster nods with a smile, just and Eric stood up together, in crowd that the stage exit just issued the best cinematography, a stature tall and slender girl smiled to walk toward them, was actually Brooke that Eric was very long has not seen Shields, she was just one of the best cinematography award item presenting guests of honor. 朱迪・福斯特笑着点点头,刚刚和艾瑞克一起站起身,舞台出口处刚刚颁发完最佳摄影的人群里,一个身材高挑的女郎微笑着朝两人这边走来,却是艾瑞克很久没见的波姬・小丝,她是刚刚最佳摄影奖项的颁奖嘉宾之一。 „Looks your, I first walked,” Jodie has pushed the pushing eye toward Eric, with Brooke Shields signals by nodding, leaves. Said , the Jodie height just approached 160 cm, although she does not care about these, but faces the original height also to put on Brooke of high-heeled shoes on 180 cm Shields, the pressure is big, therefore is not willing to be dull. “找你的,那我就先走了,”朱迪朝艾瑞克挤了挤眼睛,和波姬・小丝点头示意,就率先离开。说真的,朱迪的身高刚刚接近160cm,她虽然不在乎这些,但面对本来身高就180cm还穿着高跟鞋的波姬・小丝,压力还是蛮大的,因此也就不愿意多呆。 „Good evening, Eric,” Brooke Shields smiled was hugging with Eric gently, also looked that to form that Jodie left, said: „I think you here, greeted, won't disturb you?” “晚上好,艾瑞克,”波姬・小丝微笑着与艾瑞克轻轻拥抱了下,又看向朱迪离开的身影,道:“我看你在这边,就过来打个招呼,不会打扰你们吧？” „Naturally does not have, we were also chatting,” Eric shook the head, simply has referred to nearby sofa, they sat down once more. “当然没有,我们也只是在闲聊,”艾瑞克摇摇头,干脆又指了指旁边的沙发,两人再次坐下。 Eric does not crave in that person of public relations, in addition among them the status disparity is getting bigger and bigger, after patting 《Running Out of Time》, Eric has not changed has said goodbye Brooke Shields several times. 艾瑞克不是太热衷于社交的那种人,再加上两人之间的地位差距越来越大,拍完《暗战》之后,艾瑞克就没变再见过波姬・小丝几次。 This meeting by chance, pours is not considered as that any coincidence. Brooke reason that Shields holds the post of tonight the presenting guest of honor of best cinematography, «Austin Powers 2» that for will soon screen to the Easter running schedule propagandize, she is «Austin Powers 2» Heroine. 这次偶遇,倒也不算是什么巧合。波姬・小丝之所以担任今晚最佳摄影的颁奖嘉宾,还是为了给复活节档期即将上映的《王牌大贱谍2》进行宣传,她是《王牌大贱谍2》的女主角。 The core honored guest of Oscar presentation ceremony, sits in the central that 200-300 people generally, larger part is the award nomination winner, another young some stars are the special honored guest or the presenting guest of honor, these stars will appear in the goal of Oscar presentation ceremony will be usually impure, will pay attention slightly, can discover that they basically will have the new piece to screen in this year. Brooke Shields is a typical latter honored guest. 奥斯卡颁奖典礼的核心嘉宾,一般都是坐在中央的那两三百人,这其中一大半都是奖项提名获得者,另外一小部分明星属于特约嘉宾或者颁奖嘉宾,这些明星出现在奥斯卡颁奖典礼的目的通常也不会太纯粹,稍微关注一下,就能发现,他们基本上都在这一年有新片上映。波姬・小丝就属于典型的后一种嘉宾。 In the final analysis, Oscar was one has been full of the economic activity of benefit connection eventually. 归根结底,奥斯卡终究是一场充满了利益关联的经济活动。 After past 《Running Out of Time》, Brooke Shields has met several movies continuously, enterprise actually small fiery red, but her intelligence was eventually limited, for these years started to be tepid, can attain the role, almost also shows off the sexy vase. 当年的《暗战》之后,波姬・小丝连续接了好几部电影,事业倒是小小的火红了一把,但她的资质终究有限,这几年又开始不温不火起来,能够拿到角色,差不多也都是卖弄性感的花瓶。 From some time ago to promulgate to enter the backstage, Brooke Shields noted to sit Eric and Jodie that chatted here they. Issues the award item, notes them not to leave as before, thoughts fine motion Brooke Shields cannot bear collect and Eric greets. 从不久前为了颁奖进入后台,波姬・小丝就注意到坐在这边聊天的艾瑞克和朱迪两人。颁发完奖项,注意到两人依旧没有离开,心思微动的波姬・小丝就忍不住凑过来和艾瑞克打招呼。 However, at this time sits in front of Eric, although has not felt anything to become estranged and treat coldly from this makings indifferent smiling face genial man at present, but Brooke Shields realized that this time Eric Williams by far no longer was initially that just in young Director that Hollywood amazes the world with a single brilliant feat, he has stood in that person who the Hollywood Pyramid peak overlooks all living things. 不过,此时坐在艾瑞克面前,虽然没有从眼前这个气质淡然笑容和煦的男人身上感受到什么疏远和冷落,但波姬・小丝还是意识到,此时的艾瑞克・威廉姆斯已经远远不再是当初那个刚刚在好莱坞一鸣惊人的年轻导演了,他已经是站在好莱坞金字塔顶端俯视众生的那个人。 Eric is appreciating Brooke on Shields fine water blue color evening dress, feels her as if suddenly not to know that should say anything, sympathizes to seek for the topic very much on own initiative: „You are very attractive tonight, which brand are this formal clothes?” 艾瑞克欣赏着波姬・小丝身上精致的水蓝色晚礼服,感受到她似乎一时间不知道该说什么,很体贴地主动寻找话题道:“你今晚很漂亮,这套礼服是哪个品牌的？” „Thanks,” Eric driving start to talk, Brooke Shields relaxed, said: „This was Ji Fanxi 1997 spring summer has custom-made high-level.” “谢谢,”艾瑞克主动开口,波姬・小丝松了口气,道:“这是纪梵希1997年的春夏高级定制。” „Oh, but I may not recognize these, does not know how these honored guests and directors one call your formal clothes brands, what knack has?” “哦,不过我可认不出这些,也不知道那些嘉宾和主持人是怎么一眼就叫出你们身上的礼服品牌的,有什么诀窍吗？” „Has,” Brooke Shields relaxes gradually, hears the question of Eric, in the expression are many several points of impertinence, said: „So long as strung together the lines with them ahead of time on the line.” “有啊,”波姬・小丝逐渐放松下来,听到艾瑞克的疑问,表情中还多出几分俏皮,道:“只要提前和他们串好台词就行了。” „......” “……” Eric is somewhat speechless, actually understands why the honored guests of these presentation ceremonies can say ‚your this Pradha dinner jacket may be really pretty’ and so on lines smoothly, this obviously is the advertisement. Eric is too quick in the speed of Hollywood rise, in addition he is Director, has been long time ago separated with the category of well-known brand cooperation, therefore to the present knows ‚secret’. 艾瑞克有些无语,却明白过来那些颁奖典礼的嘉宾为什么能够那么顺畅地说出‘你这件普拉达小礼服可真漂亮’之类的台词,这明显都是广告啊。艾瑞克在好莱坞上升的速度太快,再加上他是导演,早早就脱离了与知名品牌合作的范畴,因此到现在才知道其中的‘秘诀’。 „Hehe,” Brooke Shields chuckle several, starts to look for the topic on own initiative, said: „Eric, you were just chatting anything with Miss Foster.” “呵呵,”波姬・小丝轻笑几声,也开始主动找话题,道:“艾瑞克,你刚刚在和福斯特小姐聊什么。” Eric heard in the hall to read the best Director result, simply outside also gave up going again, the booth let go, said: „Just we made a bet, finally I lost.” 艾瑞克听到大厅里已经念出了最佳导演的结果,干脆也就放弃了再去外面,摊摊手,道:“刚刚我们打了个赌,结果我输了。” Brooke Shields asked curiously: „What are you betting?” 波姬・小丝好奇地问道:“你们在赌什么？” „Since here, naturally were the Oscar promulgation result.” “既然在这里,当然是奥斯卡的颁奖结果了。” „No, I meant that” Brooke Shields has gesticulated carelessly the hand signal, is somewhat afraid, asked: „Your, um, what is gambling stake?” “不,我是说,”波姬・小丝胡乱比划了一下手势,有些心虚,却还是问道:“你们的,嗯,赌注是什么？” Feels the girl curious vision , the Eric expression is moving, said: „Do you want to know really?” 感受着女郎好奇的目光,艾瑞克表情动了动,道:“你真的想知道？” Brooke Shields smiling that notes the Eric corners of the mouth to harbor evil intentions, the heart jumped several, has several points of anticipation to nod. 波姬・小丝注意到艾瑞克嘴角不怀好意的笑,心脏跳了几下,却又带着几分期待地点点头。 Eric has sold under the climax, immediately lets go: „Issue here, I forgot that with the Jodie agreement gambling stake, now, I was equal to losing to her one ‚blank check’.” 艾瑞克卖了下关子,随即一摊手:“问题就在这里,我忘记和朱迪约定赌注了,现在,我等于输给了她一张‘空白支票’。” This obviously is not Brooke certain answers in Shields imagination, but, the reply of Eric makes her more surprised, a pair of beautiful pupil opened, is having the obvious envying expression: „Wow.” 这显然不是波姬・小丝想象中的某些答案,不过,艾瑞克的回答却让她更加惊讶,一双美眸都睁大了许多,带着明显的羡慕语气:“哇哦。” In the hall, unsuspensefully obtained best Director Anthony by «United Kingdom Patient» Minguela has made the award-winning speech, Eric looks that Brooke the expression that Shields envies, in the expression has several points to mislead: „Therefore, immediately was the best picture, do you want also to bet one?” 大厅里,毫无悬念地凭借《英国病人》获得了最佳导演的安东尼・明格拉已经发表完获奖感言,艾瑞克看着波姬・小丝羡慕的表情,语气里带着几分蛊惑:“所以,马上就是最佳影片了,你想不想也赌一把？” Brooke Shields item luminous, but she is not about the outsider who Oscar knows nothing, said: „But, was very finally obvious.” 波姬・小丝目光亮了下,但她又不是对奥斯卡一无所知的局外人,道:“可是,现在结果已经很明显了啊。” „A risk bigger income is also bigger, Nà, I bet the best picture am «United Kingdom Patient», you must bet other movies to score an upset, ‚blank check’ Oh, I little will give any person promise.” “风险越大收益也就越大啊,呐,我赌最佳影片是《英国病人》,你要不要赌其他影片爆冷,‘空白支票’哦,我可是很少会给什么人这种许诺的。” Brooke the presenting guest of honor who Shields hears the best picture started to speak, because was less than two seconds, asked: „Eric, if I did lose?” 波姬・小丝听到最佳影片的颁奖嘉宾已经开始发言,只是由于了不到两秒钟,就问道:“艾瑞克,如果我输了呢？” Eric said with a smile: „I naturally also wanted ‚blank check’, this was very fair.” 艾瑞克笑道:“我当然也要‘空白支票’了,这很公平。” „This point is unfair, your winning scope was too big.” “这一点都不公平,你的赢面太大了。” „You thought that 5 million USD and 5 USD lottery tickets do win the surface equally to be big?” “你觉得500万美元和5美元的奖券赢面会一样大吗？” „That,” also hesitated the moment, Brooke Shields hears the introduction of best picture to start, decisively nods saying: „Good, I bet.” “那,”又犹豫了片刻,波姬・小丝听到最佳影片的介绍已经开始,就果断点头道:“那好吧,我赌了。” These words said that the presentation ceremony also enters the final time, Brooke Shields slightly is leaning the head, the attention will change outside hall, Eric took a chocolate from the tray on tea table, relaxes by the sofa chairback. 这句话说完,颁奖典礼也进入最后时刻,波姬・小丝就微微侧着脑袋,将注意力转向外面大厅,艾瑞克从茶几上的盘子里拿了一颗巧克力糖,放松地靠在沙发椅背上。 „Although four movies can regret to fail to be elected, but is undeniable, they absolutely are very splendid movies, then, whom making us have a look at tonight is the final lucky fellow,” Francis Ford the Coppola sound conveyed faintly, has stopped the moment, his sound resounded once more: „Oscar will belong, «United Kingdom Patient», Sol Enzi, congratulates you.” “虽然有四部影片会遗憾落选,但无可否认,它们绝对都是非常出色的电影,那么,让我们看看今晚谁将是最后的幸运儿,”弗朗西斯・福特・科波拉的声音隐隐传来,停顿了片刻,他的声音再次响起:“奥斯卡将归于,《英国病人》,索尔・扎恩兹,恭喜你。” Whish the applause resounds, not the high expectation was disillusioned in an instant, Brooke the Shields look flashes, does not know at heart thinks anything again. 哗哗哗的掌声响起,本就不高的期望转眼破灭,波姬・小丝眼神闪动,心里不知道再想些什么。 Eric actually directly stands up, said: „Follows me.” 艾瑞克却直接站起身,道:“跟我走吧。” „?” Brooke Shields was shocked immediately, needs such, direct? “啊？”波姬・小丝顿时就愣住了,需要这么,直接吗？ However, has not divided clear not to refuse not to be willing to refuse not to dare to reject, Brooke Shields cannot help but stands from the sofa, followed Eric outward several steps, she also mentioned the courage small sound track: „Eric, we, we go to «Vanity Fair» party?” 不过,还没有分清楚自己是不想拒绝不愿拒绝还是不敢拒绝,波姬・小丝不由自主地就从沙发上站起来,跟着艾瑞克向外走了几步,她才又提起勇气小声道:“艾瑞克,我们,我们是去《名利场》派对吗？” Eric shakes the head: „It is not, I was tired, plans to go home ahead of time.” 艾瑞克摇头:“不是,我累了,打算提前回家。” The innumerable reporter the hope when the sacred citizen auditorium can the earliest possible time interview the tonight's prize-winner, breaks up the liveliest time, Eric has not actually gone to collect this liveliness, goes out of the assembly hall, is bringing Brooke directly Shields rides a bold car(riage) to swagger away. 数不清的记者正等在神圣公民大礼堂外希望能够第一时间采访到今晚的获奖者,正是散场时最热闹的时刻,艾瑞克却没有去凑这个热闹,走出礼堂,直接带着波姬・小丝坐上一辆豪车扬长而去。 Black Rolls-Royce converges Los Angeles not to calculate that at night the crowded stream of vehicles, Eric looks at the side like only by the Brooke of beast of prey according to under yeanling in body Shields, said with a smile: „Good, but you crack a joke, I just told that the driver detours from the arts center, when the time comes can put you to get down.” 黑色劳斯莱斯汇入洛杉矶夜间并不算拥挤的车流,艾瑞克看着身旁像只被猛兽按在身下的小绵羊一样的波姬・小丝,笑道:“好吧,只是和你开个玩笑,我刚刚吩咐司机从艺术中心那边绕道,到时候可以放你下来。” Brooke Shields has gawked, looked at outside the glass. 波姬・小丝愣了下,看了看车窗外。 Rolls-Royce is going to north, tonight «Vanity Fair» party venue Beverly arts center exactly in that side. If the Eric plan returns to Malibu directly, at this time should walk to Los Angeles Highway 10 west. 劳斯莱斯正在向北行驶,今晚《名利场》派对的举办地点比弗利艺术中心恰好就在那边。如果艾瑞克打算直接回马里布,此时应该走在向西的洛杉矶10号高速公路上了。 Just thought that Eric must bring back to the family/home her directly, although too has not resisted at heart, Brooke Shields felt that was uncomfortable. But at this time, she somewhat is actually swayed by personal gains and losses: „Eric, you, does not plan to go home directly, is right?” 刚刚觉得艾瑞克要直接把她带回家,虽然心里并没有太多抗拒,波姬・小丝还是感觉非常不舒服。但此时,她却又有些患得患失起来:“艾瑞克,你,也不打算直接回家,对不对？” Eric shakes the head: „No, I plan to go home to rest really ahead of time.” 艾瑞克摇头:“没有啊,我是真的打算提前回家休息。” „That,” has pinched the woman's handbag in knob, Brooke Shields has made excuses two, in a low voice said: „Perhaps that we did not need to detour.” “那,”又捏了捏手中的坤包,波姬・小丝支吾了两下,才低声道:“那,或许我们不用绕道了。” After a half hour, Cliff Peak Manor. 半个多小时后,尖角庄园。 Follows Eric to enter the shell villa together, under bright light, Brooke Shields looks is similar to museum big some ring-like halls of exaggeration, said: „Here may be really big, but, um......” 跟随艾瑞克一起走进贝壳别墅,明亮的灯光下,波姬・小丝看着如同博物馆般大的有些夸张的环形大厅,不由道:“这里可真大,不过,嗯……” Eric is bringing Brooke Shields arrives at the glass curtain wall western receiving callers area together, hints her to sit down at will, before oneself arrive at the small bar, has robbed two times of fruit juice, walks to give Brooke Shields one cup, asked: „What?” 艾瑞克带着波姬・小丝一起走到玻璃幕墙西边的会客区,示意她随意坐下,自己走到小吧台前盗了两倍果汁,走回来递给波姬・小丝一杯,问道:“不过什么？” „Here is too big, outer space.” Brooke Shields received Eric to hand over the fruit juice, said: „Eric, don't you have this feeling?” “这里太大啊,也太空。”波姬・小丝接过艾瑞克递过来果汁,说道:“艾瑞克,难道你就没有这种感觉吗？” Eric shakes the head: „No, I like the spacious dwelling, was similar to too small, I will instead think that was not very comfortable, um, this perhaps was once, trauma.” 艾瑞克摇摇头:“没有啊,我喜欢宽敞的住处,如同太小了,我反而会觉得很不自在,嗯,这或许是曾经的,心理阴影。” Brooke Shields slightly has drunk fruit juice, is curious: „Do you have the trauma?” 波姬・小丝小小地喝了一口果汁,却又好奇起来:“你还有心理阴影啊？” „Un, I thought that everyone should a little trauma, you not have?” “嗯,我觉得每个人都应该有点心理阴影的,难道你就没有吗？” Brooke Shields thinks that as if has thought of anything, actually with a smile shakes the head, puts down the cup, is reorganizing formal clothes gently, looked at all around, has hesitated, said: „Eric, I, can look for clothes to exchange to me, this formal clothes I must also go back tomorrow.” 波姬・小丝想了想,似乎想到了什么,却只是笑着摇摇头,放下杯子,轻轻整理着身上的礼服,看了看四周,迟疑了下,道:“艾瑞克,我,可以给我找套衣服换上吗,这间礼服我明天还要还回去。” „Do you wear my clothes should not to have the issue?” Eric nods, stands up saying: „Comes with me.” “你穿我的衣服应该没问题吧？”艾瑞克点点头,站起身道:“跟我来吧。” Brooke Shields sets out, actually notes Eric not to go to the building, but moves toward the western outdoor swimming pool entrance. 波姬・小丝起身,却注意到艾瑞克并没有去楼上,而是走向西边的露天游泳池入口。 „Eric, what do we come to here to make?” Brooke Shields is sizing up all around, walks toward the swimming pool outside guard rail unrestrainedly, lies looks into late at night the front dark sea level on the parapet. “艾瑞克,我们来这里做什么？”波姬・小丝打量着四周,情不自禁地朝泳池外侧的护栏走去,趴在栏杆上眺望深夜前方幽暗的海面。 Eric also with Brooke Shields walks together, said: „In the following changing room has my clothes, you can select, um, wants to swim? Inside also has the swim suit, I can also exchange the lukewarm water to here.” 艾瑞克也跟着波姬・小丝一起走过来,道:“后面的更衣室里就有我的衣服,你可以自己去挑,嗯,或者,想不想游泳？里面也有泳衣的,我还可以给这里换上温水。” „Hehe, good,” Brooke Shields nods, immediately has not actually left, has referred to under two human feet the short cliff, said: „Eric, you did not fear that some people do crawl from here?” “呵呵,好啊,”波姬・小丝点点头,却没有立刻离开,指了指两人脚下矮矮的悬崖,道:“艾瑞克,难道你就不怕有人从这里爬上来吗？” „Feared that moreover, but also more than once some people crawl really from here,” Eric nods, said: „But, they have not succeeded.” “怕啊,而且,还真不止一次有人从这里爬上来呢,”艾瑞克点点头,道:“不过,他们都没有成功。” „Why?” “为什么啊？” Eric had not replied immediately, but has referred to toward below: „You have a look carefully.” 艾瑞克没有立刻回答,而是朝下面指了指:“你仔细看看。” Brooke the Shields probe head gets down, is only, as a result of the ray reason, under foot dim, she had not found any special place. 波姬・小丝探头下去,只是,由于光线的缘故,脚下一片昏暗,她并没有找到任何特别的地方。 Eric also along with Brooke the Shields vision looked at one toward below, similarly cannot see anything, on own initiative explained: „Below has the alarm apparatus and camera, some people approach here, even if dives to approach from the sea level, will be discovered quickly.” 艾瑞克也随着波姬・小丝的目光朝下望了一眼,同样看不到任何东西,就主动解释道:“下面有报警器和摄像头,有人靠近这边,哪怕是从海面下潜水靠近,也会很快被发现的。” „Oh,” Brooke Shields nods, listening to Eric to explain, again has not gone into seriously this issue, this security issue is actually very private, asked thin, probably she must conspire. She naturally will not have any this thoughts, but also knows that on own initiative avoid suspicion to well: „That, I changed clothes.” “哦,”波姬・小丝点点头,听艾瑞克解释完,也就没有再深究这个问题,这种安保问题其实还是很私密的,问得太细了,好像她要图谋不轨似的。她自然是不会有什么这种心思的,但也知道还是主动避嫌为好:“那,我去换衣服了。” Eric looks that Brooke Shields moves toward the back of changing room, suddenly before remembering is very long some thought that this woman the stature or the cheek, are perfect, if puts on the tail of mermaid, admits in the swimming pool, this picture thinks to think very only beautiful. 艾瑞克看着波姬・小丝走向更衣室的背影,突然想起很久以前的某个念头,这女人的无论是身材还是脸蛋,都非常完美,如果套上美人鱼的尾巴,放进游泳池里,这种画面想想都觉得非常唯美。 Los Angeles of March, although in the evening is not coldly, but absolutely is not warm. Is thinking at heart these thoughts, Eric also leaves the parapet, before arriving at the control bench of swimming pool, starts to operate the water temperature in debugging swimming pool.( To be continued.) 三月份的洛杉矶,晚上虽然算不上冷,但也绝对不暖和。心里想着这些念头,艾瑞克也离开栏杆,走到游泳池的控制台前,开始操作着调试游泳池里的水温。(未完待续。)
