I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 17
[Chapter 17 Preparing for the crew]
On the set of “Return to Seventeen”, Eric made a lot of mistakes during the filming because of thinking about “Home Alone”, but because the filming was nearing the end, Penny Marshall seemed surprisingly good-tempered , patiently corrected Eric’s mistakes.
Eric even had the idea of asking Penny Marshall for help, but that’s fine.
When Penny Marshall knew, Twentieth Century Fox knew.
With the eyes of so many professionals at Twentieth Century Fox, it is obvious that the potential of this small-budget Christmas comedy will be seen, and there will definitely be a way to intervene at that time, which is not what Eric wants to see.
In the end, Eric thought of a pseudo-lolita who was practicing in a drug rehab center.
In later generations, in that notorious situation, Drew can still make a comeback, successfully get rid of the curse of child star, and become a well-known actor, director and producer in Hollywood. In addition to his own ability, his network is also a very important aspect.
Even though the girl is only thirteen years old now, with her refined personality, her connections in this area should not be underestimated.
At least, it’s definitely no problem to ask her to help put together a small crew.
On October 9th, the film “Return to Seventeen” was finally completed, and Eric also successfully received a $500,000 salary check.
So I started to prepare my next plan non-stop.
” Eric
, where are we going?” Aniston asked curiously, sitting in the co-pilot.
Eric took out the script of “Home Alone” from his bag and said, “You look at this first.”
Aniston looked at the name and said in surprise, “Wow, “Home Alone,” is your new script? ”
Well,” Eric nodded, started the car and said, “I’m going to shoot this movie myself.”
“What, Eric, you’re not kidding, do you know where the camera’s power button is? ?”
“Of course I do. By the way, what I want to do is to be a director, not a photographer.” Having been in the industry for so many years in his previous life, Eric has basically done all the occupations related to film and television, and he has done them well. If he can do avatars, there is no problem with him being the only one in the entire crew except for the actors.
“Okay, okay, then, where are we going now?”
Eric hesitated for a while, but still said, “Go to the drug rehab center to see Drew.”
“Humph!”
“Annie, I brought you because I didn’t want you. What a misunderstanding.”
“Humph!”
“I want to ask Drew to help find some professionals to set up a crew. Although she is young, she knows quite a few people.”
“Humph!”
Eric sighed, He parked the car on the side of the road, unbuckled his seat belt and said, “It seems that today I will first have to convince a jealous girl.”
“Hum…ah, what are you doing? Don’t, um…”
Eric fluttered .
After passing, Aniston was tied with the seat belt and couldn’t break free, and was directly pressed by Eric on the passenger seat and kissed deeply.
Aniston struggled reflexively. With Eric’s kiss and caress, it quickly softened. After Eric’s tongue knocked her teeth, he finally gave up resistance completely, and the little sweet tongue was also jerky. responded.
The two kissed wetly for four or five minutes. Aniston felt that Eric’s big hand was getting more and more arrogant, and even got into his clothes and slowly attacked the pair of buds on his chest.
“No, don’t, Eric.” When Eric was about to succeed, Aniston with a blushing face finally opened his mouth to stop: “Here… this is the road.”
Eric also noticed that he was a little rude and let go He opened Aniston, gently lifted the long hair scattered on her forehead for her, looked at the red and bloody cheeks and said, “Is it okay to stay on the side of the road?”
“You… that’s not okay either. .”
“Okay, don’t be jealous. Let’s go.”
Eric fastened his seat belt and started the car again.
“Hey, Eric, you can also ask Penny or James for help. Why do you have to look for that…that guy.” In order to maintain a ladylike image in front of Eric, Aniston hurriedly changed words like Bichi He swallowed back, and stuck his tongue out slightly.
Eric reiterated his concerns, Aniston sat on the co-pilot and clenched his small fist lightly, and did not speak again.
In a well-known drug rehab center in Los Angeles, when two people entered, in order to prevent visitors from bringing drugs in, they were also searched.
Following the guidance of a staff member, Eric quickly found Drew.
When I saw Drew, the girl was lying in a cool dress and basking in the sun by an open-air bath, holding a hardcover version of “Jurassic Park” in her hand.
“Hi, Drew?” Eric called out.
“Eric, if you don’t come to see me again, I will run away to find you.” As soon as
Eric’s voice came out, Drew, who had already found his figure, shouted, jumped up from the reclining chair, and dashed quickly. To Eric, hanging on Eric like a koala, with a small mouth, he nibbled at Eric’s lips.
Eric hurriedly stretched out his hand to block his face. Unexpectedly, Drew kissed Eric’s palm indifferently, and stuck out his tongue to lick it. The hot and humid touch of the little tongue from the palm made Eric For a moment, he was a little confused.
“It’s disgusting, like a puppy in heat!” Aniston, who was completely ignored by Drew, cursed fiercely with a black face.
Although there was a strong urge to pull Drew off Eric, there were still many people around looking at him. Aniston was not as cheeky as Drew.
After playing for a while, Eric finally got Drew off of himself.
As if he had just discovered it, Drew said to Aniston, “Hey, big fat girl, I heard that you starved on the set to lose weight. It’s so pitiful. But it doesn’t look like you’ve lost much weight?”
Just as Aniston was about to have a seizure, Eric tapped Drew on the head and said, “Okay, Drew, don’t laugh at Annie, but look after yourself.”
Drew snorted and said with tears in his eyes: “Eric, you are so partial.”
Eric ignored Drew’s pitiful appearance and said, “There are many people here, take us to the place where you live. ”
Drew lives in a hotel suite that’s almost like a hotel suite, even with a kitchen.
The three came to the living room, and Drew poured two glasses of juice for Eric and Aniston, and sat down on the sofa with a glass in his hand, and said, “Okay, Eric, do you have anything to do with me? ”
Uh, can’t I just come to see you?” Eric was a little embarrassed.
Drew pouted: “Are you mad at me with a big fat girl? You know I don’t like her.”
There was no one else around, and the jealousy Aniston had endured for so long finally broke out: “I’ve had enough. , you little bitch, I don’t like you either!”
Drew tutted his tongue with a triumphant look: “I’ve revealed my true nature, hehe, Eric, look, the big fat girl is not a lady at all, she’s just pretending Come out, you will suffer in the future.”
“You…”
Eric rubbed his temples in distress, and secretly decided to try not to let the two of them appear together in the future: “Okay, stop me, and then make trouble with me. I
‘m angry.”
“Eric…” Aniston looked at Eric with a look of grievance.
“Annie, why don’t you go outside and wait for me in the car, I’ll be there soon.”
Drew’s eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly lowered his head casually and pretended to drink juice.
But how keen the sixth sense between women is, Drew was caught by Aniston for a short while.
“I don’t,” Aniston refused, bulging his cheeks.
Eric had no choice, so he calmed down a little, then took out the script and handed it to Drew: “That’s it, Drew, here’s a script, can you help me introduce some professionals? I want to set up a temporary The crew.”
Drew took the script and put it on his lap to look at it, and quickly laughed: “Hehe, it’s funny, this is a good script. Um… Eric, you mean…”
“Yes,” Eric nodded: “I want to make this movie independently, I made a budget, it only needs about one million, I can probably get this money. But it is only one million. , so we need some reliable and cheap professionals.”
In fact, there are so many practitioners in the Los Angeles film industry, even without Drew’s help, Eric can put together the crew, but on the one hand, it wastes a lot of unnecessary Time, on the other hand, the person he finds is not necessarily reliable. If something happens during the filming process, then he will only cry but have no tears.
While Eric was not paying attention, Drew glanced at Aniston proudly, and then nodded obediently: “No problem, I know a lot of people, do you all need them?”
Aniston was glanced at by Drew’s proud eyes His anger rose, but he could only stare at Eric with bulging cheeks.
“Photographer, lighting engineer, sound engineer… In short,” Eric pretended not to see Aniston’s unhappy look, shrugged and spread his hands: “I don’t have anything right now.”
Drew thought for a while, Dao: “I happened to know a small film company that closed down recently. They had a shooting team. Unfortunately, the boss of the film company took the company as a mortgage and lost money by making a film. Now it is estimated that the bank has gone bankrupt and liquidated. That team is really good, I had a cameo in their movie. If they haven’t disbanded by now, you can take them all in. Well, I think they’d be more willing to accept this than losing their jobs. The filming of the movie.”
Eric excitedly said: “That’s great.”
Drew stood up and smiled: “I’ll call you and ask, I hope it’s too late.”
Drew finished, Going to the phone at the window and making a call, Aniston on the sofa leaned over resentfully at this moment, grabbing the hem of Eric’s T-shirt with his little hand and pulling it, looking very tangled in his heart.
She felt that she was very useless. Even Drew Barrymore could help Eric a lot, but she needed Eric’s care instead. UU reading www.

com to get a small role in the movie, and the fact that Drew is now unabashedly poaching his own corner makes Aniston even more uneasy.
Soon, after the call, Drew brought good news to Eric. The film company was completely doomed, but the team members were still in Los Angeles. The original company boss was willing to introduce the team to Eric.
After agreeing on a time and place with the owner of the film company, Eric quickly got up to leave, and he didn’t want to waste time for a moment.
When saying goodbye, he confidently and forcefully asked for a kiss, and Drew reluctantly let Eric leave.
On the way back, Aniston was unhappy all the time, and Eric could only keep comforting.
“Annie, I’m sorry, there’s nothing I can do. Of the people I know, only Drew can help, and I’ll have to find actors by myself.”
Aniston looked at Eric with some confidence. : “It’s okay, Eric, I understand, you will… will you always love me?”
Eric said without hesitation: “Of course.”
“I love you too, Eric.”
“Annie?”
“Huh?”
“Will you be my girlfriend?”
Aniston’s face turned red and he was a little overwhelmed: “Oh, Eric, I think I…”
“No, little fool, don’t think so much, You just have to answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’.”
“Yes, I do.”
