Chapter 119: Producer Elizabeth Hurley

Brooklyn, separated from downtown Manhattan by the East River, is a borough of New York filled with crime and social issues, including drug trafficking, street violence, and gang activity. The societal unrest and rampant crime deeply affected the residents and social structure of the area, making it even worse than Harlem north of Central Park in Manhattan.

Elizabeth Hurley invited Arthur to a nearby bar in Brooklyn Heights, near Cadman Plaza Park.

"Arthur, I really didn't expect you to be so bold as to take over Orion," Elizabeth Hurley said. She had always wanted to make a mark in Hollywood to counteract the decline of the British film industry.

Arthur took a sip of his beer and smiled. "Orion's not bad. The debt is a bit high, but it's nothing I can't handle."

"Emma was specially prepared for Winona Ryder, right?" Elizabeth Hurley asked again.

Arthur nodded. "Pretty much. Winona's looks are well-suited for playing a wealthy girl from the Victorian era in England."

Elizabeth Hurley moved closer to Arthur. "So, what do you think I should do now? Are there any roles in Hollywood that suit me?"

Arthur turned his head and looked at Elizabeth Hurley, who was close by. "A newcomer? What suitable roles can there be in Hollywood? A sexy scream queen in a horror movie, a beautiful trophy in a commercial film, or someone who needs to undress in an art film. First, Hollywood needs to know you exist!"

"Is that so," Elizabeth Hurley said as she reached out to touch Arthur's thigh. "Arthur, I contributed to the script for Emma, right?"

Arthur nodded. "Of course. It seems you weren't lying when you said you were interested in film production."

"Then, I think we should find a quiet place to discuss Emma. I want to learn how to become a film producer," Elizabeth Hurley suggested with a smile.

Arthur placed his hand on Elizabeth Hurley's delicate and elegant face, his gaze captivated by her enchanting eyes. The whole person gave off an impression of freshness and elegance.

"Are you sure?" Arthur whispered in Elizabeth Hurley's ear, his breath warm, as he wrapped his arm around her waist.

"Mmm..." Elizabeth Hurley responded by passionately kissing Arthur, directly sealing his lips.

After the kiss ended, the two quickly returned to the No. 1 Hotel on Brooklyn Bridge.

"Arthur, do you like it?" Elizabeth Hurley, with her tall, slim, and graceful figure, wasn't inferior to top models.

With a height of 175 cm, she looked tall and elegant even lying on the bed. Her long legs were captivating, and her curvaceous body was enchanting.

"Hmm!" Arthur climbed onto the bed, lying next to Elizabeth Hurley, tracing her curves. "With such a top-notch body and appearance, what man wouldn't like you?"

Finished speaking, Arthur initiated a kiss with Elizabeth Hurley, pressing his entire body onto hers.

"Arthur, can I participate in the production process of Emma?" Elizabeth Hurley, holding Arthur's neck, asked after a moment of passionate kissing.

"Of course," Arthur said, looking at Elizabeth Hurley beneath him. "Emma itself is going to be filmed in England, and Polygram is also one of the producers. The investment, relatively speaking, is not that big for me, so I won't spend too much time on this project."

Then, Arthur lowered his head to kiss Elizabeth Hurley's chest, enjoying her alluring and seductive body.

"That's good," Elizabeth Hurley smiled slightly, then closed her eyes, cradling Arthur's head.

The next morning, Arthur let out a heavy breath as he lay in bed. Suddenly, the blanket was lifted, and Elizabeth Hurley, covering her mouth, glared at Arthur before getting out of bed and rushing into the bathroom.

After an unknown amount of time, Arthur also entered the bathroom and found that Elizabeth Hurley was lying in the bathtub. "No wonder it took you so long; you were soaking."

Saying this, Arthur removed his pajamas and entered the bathtub as well. Elizabeth Hurley rubbed against him for a while before relaxing in his arms. "You never let me rest, even in the morning."

Arthur just chuckled, placing his hands on Elizabeth Hurley's 36C chest. "By the way, where is the filming of Passenger 57 taking place?"

"Hmm, it's produced by Touchstone Pictures under Disney, and the location is in the U.S. Beyond that, I don't know," Elizabeth Hurley said, shaking her head. She really didn't know more than that.

"Arthur, will you consider me for a role the next time you have one that suits me?"

"Don't worry. There will be more and more projects from Orion in the future, and I'm sure there will be a suitable role for you!"

"Mm," Elizabeth Hurley turned around and lay in Arthur's arms, kissing his neck. "I'm planning to return to England first. You can call me if you come to London."

"First, focus on filming Emma. This is an award-contending film, and you might show up at the Oscars," Arthur said, holding the lady in his arms. "I'll look for you when you come to the U.S. to film Passenger 57 at the end of the year, if I have time."

Elizabeth Hurley looked up and smiled. "Were you satisfied with last night? Want me to stay a few more days?"

Arthur shook his head. "I'm heading back to Los Angeles soon; there's a lot going on."

Meanwhile, Steven Spielberg began the official preparation work for Schindler's List. The filming of Hook was nearing completion, and post-production effects were underway simultaneously. However, Julia Roberts, who played Tinker Bell, suffered from acute stress disorder following her breakup with Dylan McDermott, making it very difficult for Spielberg to work with her on the film and delaying its completion.

Los Angeles, North Hollywood, Orion Pictures.

"It seems the project with the best progress now is Kevin Costner's The Bodyguard," Arthur said, sitting in a chair.

"Is the student role in Scent of a Woman still being auditioned for?"

Amy Pascal nodded. "Director Martin Brest is still screening actors. Acting alongside Al Pacino is a dream for many aspiring actors. We've received an overwhelming number of audition resumes."

Arthur was indifferent. Of course, there were many. If he had chosen the path of an actor, this role would have attracted him too. Unfortunately, Arthur now prioritized Orion and its commercial success. Even if he were to act, it would have to be in a commercial film.
