After six in the afternoon, the members of the cast of "Home Alone" came to the Eric home one after another.
It was completely dark, and Eric, who had discussed things with chef Vanessa in the kitchen for a while, returned to the living room, looked around, and was surprised to find that there were more than a dozen people wearing besides the crew of "Home Alone" Beautiful girl in various dresses.
"Jeffrey, what's the matter with these girls?" Eric asked curiously when he found Jeffrey · Hansson.
Jeffrey smiled and said, "It's Nickel. After filming" Home Alone ", they took over a shoots job for a campus comedy. These girls met at that time. I don't know how to hear" Home Alone " "Director is going to host party at home, they will follow them Nickel, as for the reason, I do n’t have to explain it to me."
Eric smiled, these girls obviously came to him. But he doesn't mind. The crew of "Home Alone" only has two or three women. All the others are men. If party is a group of old men, it's really boring.
Walk to the center of the living room and clap your hands to attract everyone's attention: "Let everyone be quiet, listen to me."
All the people in the living room quickly stopped talking and turned their attention to Eric.
“First of all, I hope you all have a beautiful evening. Today ’s party is to celebrate the success of“ Home Alone ”, this success does not belong to me alone, because without your help, I ca n’t In a short time, I completed the shoots of "Home Alone". Here, I once again say thank you to everyone. "
Eric said, bowed slightly to the crowd, and everyone in the living room clapped.
Eric slightly squeezed his hands, motioned everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Of course, mere words of thanks are certainly not enough." Home Alone "has achieved such amazing Box Office results. Here are all of you. I work hard, so I specially prepared a dividend for everyone, and hope that we will have the opportunity to cooperate again. "
After finishing Eric, take out the prepared stack of envelopes with cheques and distribute them to everyone together with Jeffrey · Hansson. The name Eric has been written on the envelope in advance, so there is no possibility of mistakes.
According to the position of the crowd and other factors, the amount of the check varies from 200,000 USD to 500,000 USD. Although it is insignificant compared to Box Office of "Home Alone", this is already equivalent to the salaries of these crew members for several years. After all, they were only mixed in the independent film circle at a small cost, and the annual income is only a few. Ten thousand USD.
Of course, Eric has not forgotten to participate in other Actor of shoots "Home Alone", but the dividends of those people must be richer, so Eric intends to get "Home Alone" from Columbia and then pay.
Some people may think that since the film shoots is completed, the two parties have already cleared why the Box Office has to distribute large sums of money to others after the big sale. But every circle has a circle's rules, and those who break the rules will struggle in the circle. After the sale of Box Office, the distribution of dividends to participants is one of the rules of the film and television circle.
previous life, because of the continuous overspending of "Titanic", has clearly stated that it will give up all James · Cameron due to its benefits. After "Titanic" achieved the Box Office miracle, it still received a huge amount of dividends from Fox, although both parties had previously It was already so bad that it forced him to jump off the building.
After the check was distributed, Eric announced that party officially started, and then pulled Jeffrey · Hansson upstairs.
"Jeffrey, this is yours, enough for you to buy back Firefly." The two came to the balcony of the Eric bedroom on the second floor. Eric took out an envelope and handed it to Jeffrey. The amount on the cheque was 3 million USD and Eric. Don't be distressed. If there were no Jeffrey · Hansson as an experienced producer to help, "Home Alone" could not be completed so smoothly.
Jeffrey · Hansson rubbed the envelope a few times, and soon passed the check to Eric without hesitation.
"Huh?" Eric was a little puzzled by Jeffrey · Hansson's actions.
"Eric, I have thought about these days. Even if I bought Firefly back, without Solina, I would still not be able to grow Firefly, so ... so I have a request."
Eric laughed and said: "Jeffrey, do we still need the word request between us? Please say it."
"Eric, you said you would open a Film Studio. Can I go to your Film Studio to help you? You know, although I am not good at Director, I still have some experience as a producer."
Eric was surprised at raised the eyebrow. He once had this idea, and even thought of completely receiving the shoots team left by his wife Jeffrey · Hansson.
However, he also felt the obsession with Firefly Film Studio founded with his wife in Jeffrey · Hansson, plus the success of "Home Alone", Eric is confident that creating a new team is no longer a difficult task, so there is no Restart the idea of digging the foot of the wall.
Now, Jeffrey volunteered, Eric will not agree.
"Jeffrey, to be honest, I thought about letting you come to my Film Studio to help me, but I think that you will be reluctant to Firefly Film Studio, so there is no abruptly proposed."
Jeffrey listened to Eric, but his face did not relax, but instead he felt a little irritated: "Eric, in fact, this is not my main request, I hope ... I hope your new Film Studio can also be named Firefly, after all , The original Firefly no longer exists. I know that this requirement may be excessive, but ... I can ... I will help you as a producer in the future, I can divide it into a penny, as long as it is a salary, I hope Can you think about it ... "
Eric only discovered that Jeffrey's feelings for Firefly Film Studio, which he created with his wife, have not faded. Instead, he wants to continue some things through himself.
While moving slightly for this feeling, Eric quickly made a decision in his heart, anyway, he did not care too much about the name of Film Studio. Originally, he just wanted to use the name Williams Film Studio consider as finished like Disney, Warner, Fox.
Now, a name that is both nice and has an emotional connotation is also good.
"Jeffrey, no problem, the new company is called Firefly Film Studio, in fact, I also like this name very much."
Jeffrey raised his right hand slightly, and still seemed to be thinking about how to convince Eric. When he heard Eric, he froze for a moment: "Eric, you just said ... I heard it right?"
"Of course, I agree."
"Really ... Thank you so much, Eric, I will work hard for you, I ..." Jeffrey did n’t know how to express his gratitude, he could only spread his arms and hugged tightly Eric.
After Jeffrey let go of it, Eric handed over the envelope with the check again: "Okay, Jeffrey is just a name. If you propose it earlier, I would have agreed. Now, take this, this You deserve it. "
Jeffrey has to resign, Eric directly put the envelope into the Jeffrey suit pocket: "Jeffrey, although the age difference is relatively large, but we are still good friends? So, just about the name of Film Studio is just between friends Request. And these are the fruits of the work you deserve. Forget the silly words that you just said and do n’t divide them into categories. I also hope you can help me create the next miracle wholeheartedly. "
Jeffrey finally accepted the check under the persuasion of Eric. The two discussed a few more things about the establishment of the Film Studio and Eric lower film preparations, and then returned to the party downstairs, announced the establishment of the new Firefly Film Studio news, the original members of the film team were very happy to hear the news .
After quietly reading the amount of checks given by Eric, the team created by Jeffrey ’s wife was disturbed. They also knew that Jeffrey wanted to redeem Firefly, so most people continued to follow Jeffrey in their independence.丨 Standing in the movie circle, still swaying between the two ideas of Eric.
Now Eric and Jeffrey have made the best of both worlds. Everyone is relieved, and the atmosphere of party is more heated.
......
Smile a few words with photographer Nickel · Frank. Eric just turned around with a goblet. A girl in a red high-fork dress seems to be tripped by something. She is about to hit Eric head-on.
"Stop—" Eric screamed with a wry smile and raised his left hand in front of him to make a gesture to stop the girl in front of him.
With a beautiful golden watermelon in front of her head, the girl with a sharp face subconsciously stopped her movements, and some stood at a loss of less than one meter in front of Eric, waving a small hand with red wine unconsciously , Spilled some wine, and the embarrassment expression was seen through the face.
"This lady, if you want to make a conversation, just say hello to me. I can't bump into it anymore. I have just changed two sets of clothes. After hitting it again, I can only appear shirtless in front of everyone. Presumably you will not like to see this scene. "
The girl who had been very embarrassed heard Eric's slightly ridiculous words and burst into laughter: "Mr. Eric, you are really interesting to talk."
"That is of course, I have specially practiced to attract the attention of beautiful girls." Eric joked: "So, this ..."
"You can call me Lucini, Mr. Eric."
"Lucina, it's a really nice name, let's go over there to talk." Eric pointed to an open space not far away, in order to get rid of the passionate or purposeful girls in party who went forward and attacked successively , Eric wisely chose a temporary female partner.
At the same time, I sighed slightly, if Aniston and little girl would not have these troubles here, I do n’t know what this stubborn girl is doing at New York at this moment, according to the time difference between North America and the east, New York should already be It's early morning.
