"Want something to eat? I have some ... umm, chocolate, and Apple?" Eric asked, opening the empty refrigerator.

Stewart Lankel sat on the sofa and shook his head: "No, eating late at night is not a good habit. If there is milk, you can give me a cup. Drinking milk at night is good for sleep."

Eric raised her eyebrows, poured a glass of milk for Stewart and passed it, and asked, "Who told you these?"

"The book says, Eric, you don't want to be a kid who doesn't understand anything. I can't do it. I'm seven years old."

Eric nodded smirkingly: "Well, big boy, so why are you Papa Mama arguing today?"

"Papa resigned and said he wanted to start his own company. Mama quarreled with him. Hey, women are really troublesome. When Papa didn't resign, Mama always nagged that the company working for Papa was too small for a future . Now Papa is finally determined to resign, Mama immediately turned his face and said that Papa gave up stable work like this is irresponsible to the family. "

Eric is crooked on the sofa. He does n’t care much about the family affairs of the Runkels, and he grins at a Apple and says, "I think, you little guy has heard too many things that are not suitable for your age. "

Stewart grinned like he heard a compliment, turned his eyes, jumped off the sofa, ran to Eric and sat down, asked: "Eric, are you making a movie now?"

Eric nodded: "Yeah, it's almost done. I will let you take Mama to watch it with you."

"So, Eric, do you think I can make a movie?"

"Well? Stu, why did you suddenly have such a thought?"

Stewart looked with hope in his eyes: "I heard that movie stars have high pay. If I become a movie star, I can make a lot of money for my family. If I have money, Papa Mama will not fight."

If the Runkels are here now, I do n’t know if they would be ashamed of hearing these words.

Eric thought about it and said, "But now you are too young. You may not know that children are one of the most difficult factors to control in movies. Many movies try to reduce the number of children's plays, even when shoots, Director will also be trembling, because once those children cry, the whole crew will be paralyzed. And you have the great "Child Protection Law", the contract signed by the crew has no compulsory effect on children. So, I think it is still Let ’s talk when you grow up, at least until you ’re eighteen, like me. ”

"Hey, Eric, I am not a childish kid, I will be very obedient. I heard that you are a movie screenwriter, help me write a role, I will be very grateful to you." Stewart eyes Looking brightly at Eric, although compared to children of this age, Stewart · Runkel is a little too clever, but after all, only seven years old, naively think that as long as Eric screenwriter write a role for yourself, you can go Acting in a movie. .

Eric jumped slightly in his heart and sat upright, looking closely at the little boy in front of him. He just suddenly thought of a person: Macaulay · Culkin. The super child star who relied on "Home Alone" to spread all over global.

At this moment, a bold idea came out of Eric's mind. Although it was not clear enough, Eric knew that if this plan succeeded, he could easily pass the most difficult original accumulation stage and directly break through his age , Capital, seniority and other factors to achieve their ideals. Although this plan is very difficult for the poor at this stage, but how do you know if you don't try it? How rare is life!

And, looking at the Stewart whose IQ is at least 10 years old, the biggest uncertainty in the movie is gone.

"So, Stu, to be honest, I do have a character for you here, and it is the protagonist Oh."

Stewart sat on the lap of Eric in surprise, and leaned his head and asked, "Eric, what is the protagonist?"

"Uh, the protagonist is ... the one with the most pay in the movie."

"I play, I play."

Eric said: "However, we must obtain your parents' consent, so I will send you home and talk to your parents by the way."

As soon as he walked out of Eric ’s house with his little hand holding Stewart, he heard the voices of the neighbors, Runkel and his wife.

"I tell you, Charlie Sen Runkel, if something happens to Stu, I will divorce you!"

The Charlie Sen Runkel, who has always been weak in the quarrel, suddenly shouted: "Shut up, you bitch, if it is not you who provoke the quarrel, will Stu secretly run away? Go to the basement to see, Is Stu hiding inside? "

Mary Runkel was frightened by the sudden roar of her husband, plus it was indeed her own fault. For a time, she was following behind her husband and was looking for it. The voice of Eric rang next door.

"Hi, Mr. Runkel, don't worry, Stu is here." Eric hugged Stu, and the couple were relieved when they saw the son in Eric's arms.

After returning Stewart to Runkel ’s house, after hearing the general description of Eric, both the couple regretted and promised not to quarrel in front of their children.

"Actually, Mr. Runkel, there is one more thing. Just now Stu said that he wanted to play a movie. It just happened. I have a script here that is very suitable for Stu. And, I think I ’m smart. That character is completely fine. "

The couple were a little surprised. If they didn't understand the current situation of Eric, the two would probably directly treat Eric as a joke. However, there is now news of Eric on newspaper, so although they are surprised, they also have some expectations.

The lives of both couples are a bit unsatisfactory, otherwise there will be no middle-aged crisis. If the son can play a movie and become a star, it means nothing.

"Eric, can you tell me about the movie?"

Eric said: "Of course, this is a comedy film, roughly a little boy forgotten by his careless parents at home ..."

It took five minutes for Eric to roughly tell the storyline, and then said: "I just chatted with Stu for a while and found that Stu ’s IQ is now higher than that little boy in the movie. So, if you agree, let Stu try it. "

Several people looked at the boy who was sitting next to him, or pretended to be very clever.

"Daddy, Mommy, I think I can. This story is great."

"The child is too young, I think ..." Charlie Sen just said halfway, and was snatched secretly by Mrs. Runkel.

"Eric, can we think about it?"

"No problem," Eric nodded and added a fire path: "But you must reply to me as soon as possible. This movie is scheduled to be released during Christmas, and if the results are good, it is likely that a series , If you agree, no surprise, the protagonist will be Stu. "

A series of movies, even ordinary people, know that the protagonist's pay will definitely get higher and higher.

At the same time, Eric happily did not tell the Runkels and his wife that they will personally Director the movie, and now everything is not yet in sight, Eric is not even sure whether this plan will succeed, he does not want to change the "Home Alone" script was handed over to 20th Century Fox or other Film Studio, but it was planned to be completely made independently by himself. For him who only stepped into the circle with half a foot, it was difficult to imagine the difficulty.

When I got home, Eric, who was excited, had no drowsiness. I was sitting in front of the typewriter and rapped on script of "Home Alone", thinking about the specific implementation process of the plan.

First of all, in terms of Actor, in addition to Stewart, two thieves are also top priorities. Eric did not intend to invite previous life ’s Joe · Pesci and Daniel · Stern, both of whom are now well-known In the movie Actor, Joe Pesci has also been nominated for a supporting role in Oscar. With his own money, he can't even pay for the two people.

Eric intends to find two comedy TV Actor. The status of TV Actor in this era is completely incomparable with the movie Actor. When greeting people, I am embarrassed to say that I am playing TV series, so the pay is quite low.

The location of shoots must definitely choose Canada, Los Angeles is just entering autumn now, and it has snowed in many places in the north of Canada.

There are other things about at sixes and sevens ...

The lights in the bedroom stayed on all night. When the sun shone into the bedroom, Eric stood up and stretched out.

In the evening of consider as finished, the cost of previous life "Home Alone" is said to be 18 million USD. From the professional perspective of Eric, it is entirely shoots cost plus publicity cost. The cost of pure shoots is about several million, most of which are still paid for Actor and Director.

But now, because there is already a complete "Home Alone" film in mind, all Eric needs to do is to transport it to the film completely, so it can save a lot of unnecessary waste.

In terms of publicity, Eric also has other plans. But no matter how careful it is, without the 1 million USD, the movie cannot be made.

1 million, "17 Again" will be successful in a few days, Eric can get half a million USD remuneration, plus the original script manuscript remuneration left about 90,000 USD, plus less than 600,000 USD.

Well, "Jurassic Park" is selling so hot now, discuss it with Michael · Claus, maybe you can also get 200,000 USD, and finally there is a gap of 200,000.

Based on the idea that the boat is naturally straight to Qiaotou, Eric decided to try and make preparations first.
