The next appointment, Aniston, did not participate. Eric sent Aniston home and went alone to meet the Boss of the bankrupt Film Studio.

When getting off the bus, Aniston suddenly said: "Eric, can you leave me a copy of" Home Alone "script? I will help you to see it, maybe ... I can make some comments."

Eric nodded and said, "Of course, no problem, I just made several copies."

Aniston got out of the car with script, waved his hand and looked at Eric and drove away. As if determined, he turned and walked into his apartment.

At a coffee shop in Burbank, Eric saw the small Film Studio Boss, Jeffrey · Hansson introduced by Drew, a small Film Studio named Firefly. This is a white man about fifty years old, with a somewhat haggard look. Bankruptcy hit him hard, and the whole person seemed decadent. Eric knows that it is best for a person to vent in this situation, so he did not rush to discuss the matter of the crew, but patiently heard the man who needs to talk to talk about the past.

"My wife Solina is a high-profile student at the South Carolina Film Academy, do you know? She and Francis · Coppola are classmates, but unfortunately she is just a farm girl from Maryland and does not have the deep background like Coppola Family, otherwise she Her achievements in the film must be higher than Francis, and she won many awards for the shoots short film when she was in school. "

"I was studying finance at that time, and everyone called me a nerd. Somehow, my young and talented wife would look at me. She said that if she wanted to be Director, I would stay with her to develop at Los Angeles. The most basic job started, and it took about nine years. I still remember Solina ’s happy look when she made the first investment for her script. That smile was better than when I got married. She was even more splendid in her hand. Later, we opened Firefly Film Studio, and she did Director. I helped her to be a producer and took care of everything. We made several movies together, and we all made money for investors. Venice Film Festival won a special jury award. Unfortunately, Solina had an accident when she drove back to Maryland to visit her parents a year ago ... "

The unshaven Jeffrey · Hansson comes here, and the voice starts to choke a bit. It can be seen that he and his wife have a deep relationship. Eric sits opposite, handing Jeffrey a paper towel, and then waiting quietly for him Keep going.

"After my wife left, I think I should inherit her ideals. She has always wanted to grow Firefly and want to be a big Director recognized by Oscar. I think I have been doing Producer for so many years, and Director is definitely more than enough. Yes. So I mortgaged the company and raised a sum of money shoots. I commemorate her first part movie, but the result is not very good ... "

"It doesn't matter, Jeffrey is just a failure. Which Director of Hollywood has not experienced failure."

Jeffrey wiped his moist eyes and said, "Thank you, thank you Eric. I can listen to me nagging for so long. I feel better now. After the company went bankrupt, my son almost broke off my father and son relationship. Disagree with me doing Director, I think I ruined her mother's hard work for many years, I don't blame him, I just regret it. Well, don't say this anymore. Listen to Drew, you need some people to help you make a Movie? "

Eric nodded: "Yes, but only a small-cost movie of 1 million USD."

Jeffrey shook his head and said: "No, 1 million is already a lot, my wife first part movie only used more than 700,000. By the way, can I know your age?"

"Of course, I am now 18 years old. Jeffrey, don't you think I'm too young and too impatient?"

"No, I just make sure that you are an adult and you are a fully capable person. After all, 1 million USD is not a small number."

"Oh?"

Jeffrey said: "Do n’t be like this, young people, I think you are not self-confident but yourself. I do n’t have any prejudice against young people. Many Directors produced their best movies when they were young, shoots, age The bigger, the more mediocre the movie produced by shoots is. The young people are always full of creativity, and the movie is a dream creation. And, I believe my team can help you complete your movie very well, they are all me The wife ’s personal training team is very professional and full of understanding. Unfortunately, because of me, they are going to be unemployed. It ’s a good thing to receive your movie. Well, yes, can I see your script? "

"No problem," Eric took out script and handed it to Jeffrey, and then quietly waited for Jeffrey to cross his script.

After more than ten minutes, Jeffrey closed script and handed it back to Eric: "A good comedy script, shoots is not complicated, it is very suitable for training. You have to say, you choose such an script is still very wise . "

Eric put script back in the backpack and said to Jeffrey: "So, Jeffrey, can you help me to be the producer of this movie?"

Jeffrey · Hansson wondered: "Eric, are you sure? My company just went bankrupt because of me."

Eric said: "Jeffrey, you may not be suitable for Director, but through your narrative, I think you are a very good Producer, if this movie is successful, I will set up my own Film Studio, then you can Help me take care of it, and I can take over all the shifts left by your wife, so they do n’t have to lose their jobs. "

Jeffrey was obviously moved. Originally, he was already discouraged, and he planned to return to his home farm for this residual life. I can hear Eric ’s plan, and I have a different idea. The team that my wife left behind has been working with their husband and wife for many years. They are not only an employment relationship, but also very good friends, because oneself ’s Jeffrey is still quite guilty for making mistakes that have made old friends who have been working for many years unemployed.

Without considering how long, Jeffrey nodded and said, "Okay, Eric, I promise you."

"So, happy cooperation." Eric excitedly picked up a cup of coffee and bumped into Jeffrey. The cooperation between the two was officially reached.

Next, the two began to go straight to the topic to discuss the preparations for "Home Alone".

In the discussion, Jeffrey also learned what Eric did during this period, and some Tsk Tsk can't be surprised. Now that the cooperation has been determined, Eric has also released its plan to Jeffrey and Pan.

"I plan to complete this movie in about a month, and then take advantage of the influence of" Jurassic Park "and" 17 Again "to let" Home Alone "be released during Christmas. I think that in order to give screenwriter and" 17 Again " The actor puts on a halo of Director to create greater Box Office benefits. Presumably 20th Century Fox will not be stingy to release "Home Alone" for us, so as long as we work hard to make the movie well, this family-friendly Christmas comedy will definitely make us earn A stroke. "

Eric remembered that previous life was credited to Guinness World Records's "Home Alone" Box Office, and his heart was full of longing. Even if this world's "Home Alone" only got half of the Box Office score of previous life, it was more than enough for him to realize his ideals.

The two of them have been discussing at the cafe until the beginning of Huadeng, and have determined many things. After leaving the contact information, Eric drove home.

As soon as I got home, Eric received another piece of good news. The Runkels agreed to let Stewart play Kevin. The Eric also discussed the details with the couple. The Runkels also agreed to the 50,000 proposed by Eric. USD remuneration is divided into 1% Box Office.

Although the pay is only one-tenth that of Eric in "17 Again", if the Box Office score is as stunning as previous life, only one percent of the Box Office split can make the couple close their mouths. Eric is also not distressing, after all, this movie needs Stewart · Lankel to pick the beam.

The next day, Eric asked Jeffrey · Hansson to sign a contract with the Runkels, and the couple also knew that Eric will be the Director of the movie. The couple who had some hesitations saw the five specially prepared by Eric After the USD check, he signed the contract directly.

Following is the preparation funds. Eric originally had 590,000 USD. After negotiating with Michael · Claus, Michael promised to prepay him about 200,000 USD royalties within ten days. After checking the Boss of the piano shop, it also reluctantly agreed to return the goods, but it still counts the depreciation fee of 2,000 USD for consider as finished.

In the end, there was a gap of about 200,000 USD. Eric gritted his teeth and contacted a **** shop. He quickly mortgaged the house at a low price of 200,000 USD, with 10% interest per month, if If there is no money in half a year, the **** shop will take back the house. To put it bluntly, it's a very usury loan.

Looking at the check in his hand, Eric sighed. Now he is Drastic Move. In case of failure, I do n’t know if Aniston will take me in.

Thinking of this, I can't help thinking of Drew again. With the experience of the forty-year-old uncle in Eric, how can I not see that Drew has already liked himself to the bones, if possible, after shoots finished "17 Again", Eric would not want There are too many intersections with Drew, his feelings about Drew, maybe his daughter is even more than a woman.

Maybe after a long period of time, the girl ’s feelings towards herself will slowly fade, but for "Home Alone", he has to find Drew to help and entangle the two again.

After all the funds for shoots were prepared, Eric and Jeffrey began to cast roles for the crew non-stop. Eric plan was that two stupid Harry and Marvin were selected from the TV comedy Actor, but unfortunately several of them sent out invitations, The other party is either staggered or the film is too low.

After two days of running around, Eric suddenly received a call from Aniston’s.

"What, you said you want Papa to invite me to dinner?"

The Aniston’s voice on the phone jumped with joy: "Yeah, have n’t you worried about the Actor of" Home Alone "these two days? I told Papa about this and he promised to help you contact some comedy Actor."

The tone of the Aniston phone is very relaxed, but Eric knows that things are not that simple, and at the same time a little touched. The relationship between Aniston and his biological father John · Aniston is very cold. John · Aniston's abandonment of his wife and daughter for his own career has made Aniston so worried. previous life John · Aniston still had some hard work to make the stubborn daughter forgive herself. It can be seen that now Aniston is seeking his own father's help for himself is not as easy as he said

Eric said gratefully to the microphone: "Thank you, Annie, I will arrive on time."
