MTL - I’m in Hollywood-Chapter 34 Crying poor
"Hey, baby, it’s a little beautiful at night, let’s go to a reception... eh?” Eric squinted slightly: "See the producer of the TV series, Annie, I didn’t say it, you want If you want to write a TV drama for you... I know that you want to rely on your own strength, but what to do this night, James has specifically explained that you want to bring a female companion, if you don’t go...how is it possible, I only have you alone in my heart... Ok, okay, that's it, goodbye."
Hanging up the phone, Eric lost a sigh, and since the success of "The Little Devil", the relationship between him and Aniston has produced a subtle change. There were some girls who liked to be spoiled, and they became more cautious in front of themselves.
Eric, who was a human being, easily analyzed that this was caused by Anthony’s inner uneasiness and inferiority after reading the tabloid’s comments on the relationship between the two. Although Eric euphemistically opened several times, the girl’s heart was not reduced.
Aniston himself is also trying to get rid of this state. The most intuitive action is that in just one week, Aniston has participated in several auditions of the crew, TV series and movies according to his father's introduction.
Aniston's purpose in doing this is very simple. She wants to become famous quickly. If she becomes famous, those newspapers will no longer look at the eyes of 'Cinderella'.
......
At the home of John Aniston in Beverly Hills, Aniston hangs up and sighs. She also wants to go to the party with Eric, and also wants to be the heroine of Eric. .
However, she knows that if she does this now, the public will give her a ‘tag’ that relies on her boyfriend’s position. This ‘tag’ will follow her forever, and some women will not care or even be ecstatic. But for Aniston, who is strong inside, this is absolutely unacceptable.
John Aniston, who was pretending to read the newspaper, saw her daughter’s unconcerned appearance and couldn’t help but say, “Annie, let’s go to Kostel’s meeting today. I believe that Uncle Koster will not mind.”
Aniston shook his head and said, "No, Dad, although Uncle Koster doesn't mind, but if I don't go, it's too rude. After all, he did a lot of work to get that role for me."
"Annie, Eric is a good boy. He is much more mature than the average young man. I think he should not mind certain things."
"But I mind, Dad." Aniston said with some irritability: "Look at what the newspapers have said, Scorpio, I don't even know that I am such a woman."
"Annie, if you have been paying attention to this, you will never be happy." John Aniston persuaded: "Eric is so young and has achieved such dazzling results. No accident, he will live forever. Under all kinds of auras, as your girlfriend, you must not be able to avoid these auras unless..."
John Aniston said that in the end, he quickly closed his mouth. He didn't want to plant seeds in his daughter's heart because of some of his own statements, so that Aniston would complain about himself in the future. Although his impression of Eric has changed, but because of her daughter's strong personality, he is not optimistic about the future of her and Eric.
......
Aniston refused to go with him, and Eric also became interested in the reception. When he was nearing the evening, he found out a suit left by his father from the closet and drove to the Hilton Hotel where the reception was held.
Just appeared in the reception hall, the eye-catching James Brooks greeted him, but after seeing Eric's dress, James frowned slightly and took Eric to the side, whispering: "Eric, You are now different in identity. You should pay attention to your dress. At least you should change your suit."
Eric looked at the slightly fattened suit, which was left by the cheap father. Some shrugged helplessly, Eric pulled out his wallet and shook it in front of James, and smiled bitterly: "James, except for the car in the parking lot, all my homes are here now, altogether... oh, Five hundred and twenty-one dollars and seventy-five cents. In order to do a good job of "Little Ghosts," my house property certificate is still in the pawnshop, and there is really no money to buy new clothes."
A youngest billionaire who has been raging in the recent media has cried in front of her. This kind of violation makes James’s mouth sigh: "Okay, Eric, Mr. Barry Diller is already waiting for you. Now, let's go."
The reception has already begun, the hall is brightly lit, the band plays soft and gentle music, and the waiters carrying the drinks shuttle back and forth. Many of the great stars that were seen on the screen only in the past, gathered together in threes and threes to chat about the sky.
Seeing the gold medalist James Brooks leading a young man through the crowd, everyone curiously inquired about the identity of the youth. Although many Eric photos have appeared in the newspaper, many people still do not recognize Eric himself. .
When I heard the friends around me break the identity of Eric, all kinds of eyes rushed to Eric, making Eric a little uncomfortable.
As he walked through the hall, Eric finally saw an acquaintance, a long table in the corner, Penny Marshall wearing a black dress and talking to Tom Hanks next to him, looking up to the right Ke's gaze.
Both of them smiled and nodded, and Eric couldn’t help but glance at Tom Hanks next to Penny Marshall. At this time, Tom Hanks was thirty-two years old, but he was handsome and handsome. Upright, still a big guy, there is no such thing as a blessing in later generations.
When I came to the door of a room, James said to Eric: "Eric, go in, Mr. Barry Diller is waiting for you inside, I am missing."
Eric knocked on the door, got a response and pushed the door open. He saw a man and a woman sitting in the room talking about something in the room. When I saw Eric open the door, the 30-year-old woman with a delicate appearance was low. The middle-aged man with a big nose whispered, picked up his handbag and got out of the room. The middle-aged man with big nose was obviously Barry Diller. Eric had seen the image of the tycoon in the media more than once.
"Hello, Eric." stood up and reached for Eric.
Eric pretended not to see the faint flush of the woman's face who had just left, with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Barry Diller, I am very happy to see you."
The two shook hands and sat down on the sofa.
"Do you know, Eric, a lot of people seeing you now, will have a sense of frustration."
Eric picked up his eyebrows and couldn't help but ask: "What about you, Mr. Diller?"
Barry Diller didn't care about Eric's rude remarks and smiled. "I certainly don't. I don't believe in luck. I don't believe in shortcuts. I only believe in my strength. I am from the bottom of the William Morris Agency." The mailer is coming up step by step, maybe I will envy your achievements, but I am still proud of my career."
"Mr. Diller, do you think the success of "The Little Devil" is entirely accidental?"
Barry Diller nodded: "I have done a special analysis. The success of this film does have many accidents. So, I am very curious, Eric, why did you dare to sign the agreement with Colombia? You have to know that the chances of not getting a penny are as high as 80%."
Eric said: "I have nothing at all. If I lose, I will lose. Come back again."
Barry Diller felt that Eric’s words were inconspicuous and did not go deep into it. He said, “So, Eric, I invite you to join on behalf of Fox. What do you think?”
Eric did not intend to tie himself to a tree. The other party invited the invitation. Once agreed, it is estimated that the contract will be signed for several years.
Shaking his head, Eric said: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Diller, but I don't like restraint, so I plan to open a solo movie company and start making a few low-cost movies to exercise myself."
Barry Diller saw Eric’s direct refusal and did not force it. Since Eric has been in the forefront, some specialized organizations have thoroughly analyzed Erik's life experience and personality. Barry Diller also read the information and knew that the young man had a decision that was not of his peers. Once a decision was made, it was difficult to change.
At the same time, Barry Diller did not care about Eric’s move to open his own film company. After many directors became famous, in order to gain more benefits and to have more right to speak, they like to get rid of the six major film companies.
Often these people have lost the support of the resources of the six major film companies. After a few encounters, they will find that the road to work alone will not work. The dream factory that had the best chance to become a movie giant in the past has ended in failure. The difficulty of this road can be imagined.
Investing in a movie is like gambling. Before the film was released, no one knew if the film could be sold. The reason why DreamWorks failed, the lack of channels to be excluded is only a secondary factor. The main reason is that many film investment failed, causing huge losses, and eventually had to end up.
But this gambling-style risk does not work for Eric. As a passer-by, he already knows the results of most gambling, so he is confident to find his own world.
Perhaps the giants will join forces to suppress him in order to prevent his monopoly from being broken, but Eric is not afraid. If his film is always successful, no one will be able to pass the money in this profit-making world.
Just like the past life, the tycoon Lei Shidong, who was directly smashed with Tom Cruise in the newspaper, had to sit at the same table with Atango for a few years, just like an old friend. Even Tom Cruise filmed a film that satirized the saga of Remy's East.
I chatted a few more times, and the topic quickly turned to the movie "The Little Ghosts". At present, Eric has only one chip that can attract the attention of the giants. Even the Jurassic Park has not yet Caused enough attention.
"Eric, let's talk about "The Little Ghosts" now. I have a suggestion, how about selling the "Little Ghosts" overseas and surrounding copyright and sequel copyrights to Fox, we will have a very reasonable price?"
