"A... small matter?" Eric pulled the girl in front of him and put it on his lap, gently pinched the baby's face: "Did something happen?"
"How is it possible, I won't cause trouble!" Drew immediately denied: "The thing is, in order to buy the copyright of this movie, didn't I find an agent."
"Oh," Eric immediately understood: "You promised the other party a benefit, but you have no ability to fulfill it. Moreover, this benefit must be related to me, right?"
"Eric, you are so smart!" The girl huddled in Eric's arms and raised her face with admiration.
"Okay, stop pretending, and tell the truth!" Eric couldn't help knocking on the girl's door, which caused another struggle and protest.
"Actually, it's nothing." Xiao Nizi gave Eric a shot before saying, "When I was looking for an agent, there happened to be a guy named Lawrence Bender who brought friends at a party. He leaned over to me, took a script, and said that he wanted me to pass it on to you for a look, and they hoped that you could invest in it."
"They can't contact me. It's okay to find you. It's easy to understand. But why would the other party want to ask me to invest? There are so many film companies, the first choice of the other party should be the top seven film companies, even if it's not the top seven, ℃☆ , other second- and third-tier film companies should also be the first choice, right?"
Drew put his arms around Eric's neck and smiled: "Because you are rich, the newspapers are full of news that you have received hundreds of millions of dollars."
Eric shrugged: "You should know that the share of "Home Alone" is running low, even if you get the share of "Feng Yue", if you want to buy a film company to establish a distribution channel, it will definitely be spent soon. I can't spend the share of "Dark War" after I get it. I have to save it to pay taxes next year, but I have to pay 35% of the income tax. After this calculation, I actually don't have much cash. Oh, I just found out that from From last year to now, I have been busy for nothing and have not saved any money."
The girl patted on the shoulder mischievously: "Don't worry, Mr. Billionaire, if you have no money, I will support you."
"It would be great if a woman told me that in my previous life," Eric said with a smile, "Okay, let's continue your topic, what's that guy's name?"
"Lawrence Bender, I think the reason why he wants to ask you to invest is because both of them are too young. Even if the script is good, those film companies will not trust him and his friends to make the film. After all As long as it is a normal film, no matter how small the investment is, it will cost millions of dollars. So, you understand."
"Then you agreed, and let him be your agent... Is he capable of being your agent?" Eric thought of another question.
"That guy is very smart, and he opened a film company with his friend. You know, it's the kind of shell company that paid a registration fee to apply for it. There is nothing. There are many film companies like Hollywood. But the year before last He also made a very low-budget movie, he was the producer himself, and that friend was the director and screenwriter, but after the production was completed, the negative was burned because of a fire, and a lot of money was lost.”
"It's a pity, Lawrence Bender, isn't it... Uh, wait, Lawrence Bender?" Eric suddenly raised his voice.
"Huh?" Drew nodded, not knowing why.
Eric put the girl down from his lap, pointed to the tea table: "Can you spell his name for me?"
Although Drew was a little confused, he obediently walked to the coffee table, dipped his hand into the tea cup, thought for a while, and then hesitantly wrote two words on the coffee table: "Should... it should be spelled like this?" After finishing writing, Xiao Nizi turned her head and asked Eric uncertainly.
Eric covered his forehead, replaced the subtitle o in 'laorence' with a w, and became 'lawrence', and at the same time tapped on the cute girl's head: "I really want to know what you do in school What did you say, you can’t spell such a simple name, oh, speaking of it, I paid such a large amount of sponsorship money to send you to a boarding school, and I have never seen your report card, I will show it next time look."
"Hey, don't you need this?" The girl grinned, holding the coffee table with her small hands, as if she was ready to run away at any time.
Eric didn't pursue it any further. Looking at the name on the coffee table, it was completely consistent with the name in memory. The reason why Eric didn't reflect when Drew just mentioned it was mainly because when he read the English name in his previous life, The pronunciation is usually translated into Chinese, and Drew's accent is completely incompatible with the English that Eric learned in his previous life. Eric did not think of the name in his memory for a while.
"Drew, what's the name of Lawrence Bender's friend?" Eric asked again.
The girl scratched her head, tilted her head and thought for a while: "It seems... maybe... what is his name Quentin Tarantino?" After speaking, Drew saw Eric's expression obviously moved, and then asked: " Eric, you don't know them, do you?"
Eric made up his mind and didn't let the girl see any more abnormalities. He quickly thought of an excuse, nodded and admitted: "I heard, I said that when you said your name just now, there was a feeling of deja vu. It seems that when I was chatting with someone, I listened to it as an interesting story, that these two unlucky guys made a movie together, but the filming was completed, but the negative was burned."
Eric didn't mention the person he was chatting with, and what he said was vague, so I didn't expect the girl to go back and find someone to verify. However, Drew obviously didn't doubt anything, and he believed Eric's explanation.
"So, you mean they want me to invest in their movie and leave you the script?" Eric asked.
Drew shook his head: "No, I didn't want it. I wanted to tell you about it first. If you don't agree, I'll just send them away."
"This is not good. Now that we have promised, we can't be so vain. We will definitely expand the production business in the future. Although they are still two small people, it will definitely have some impact if you spread the matter about how you deal with them. " Eric sat back on the sofa again, thought for a while and said, "Just tomorrow, at noon tomorrow, you take them to the set of "Friends", and there is an hour of lunch break between shooting at noon, let them bring the script, let me see."
"Eric, isn't this too troublesome? Why are you seeing them? I think it's a waste of time. That... Quentin... Quentin Tarantino is only in his twenties. What good scripts can he write? Hollywood Which of the famous screenwriters is not in their 30s or 40s, it’s really not good, I just ask you to read the script, there is no need to meet them, right?"
Eric smiled: "Did you forget that I'm not even twenty years old?"
"Hehe, I think you are at least forty years old," the girl said as she moved closer to Eric.
This intuition... is too accurate!
Eric stroked Xiao Nizi's hair, but soon he was relieved. With such a shrewd temperament, after getting along day and night, it's not surprising to find this problem with his mental age. In fact, many people have discovered it.
"Okay, that's it, bring them over tomorrow, but don't be late, you know, I'm very busy."
"Well," Drew responded, and quickly rubbed against Eric coquettishly: "Well, Eric, I finished this matter, is there any reward?"
Eric patted the girl on the back: "Yes, I helped you start a film company, but you are not yet an adult, so temporarily put it in my name, and then transfer it to you when you are eighteen years old. As for The purchased copyright of "Jin Yumeng" should be put under the name of this company."
"Wow, tell me, what's your name?" the girl asked excitedly with bright eyes.
"Flower-films."
The girl was stunned for a moment, and then said with her mouth curled up, "Huahua Films... such a rustic name, can I change it?"
Rustic
Eric stared at the girl's baby face, this is the name you gave yourself in the previous life: "How can it be rustic, tell me something?"
Drew put his head on Eric's chest, and after thinking for a while, he raised his head in frustration. Xiao Nizi obviously didn't have much talent in naming: "Then... let's start with Flower Pictures."
Eric smiled and rubbed the girl's head: "Okay, it's so late, go to bed."
The girl grabbed Eric's arm to stop him from standing up: "No, no, no, don't worry, Eric, there is still one month of summer vacation, can you make things happen sooner, such as buying another movie copyright? ?”
"Well... let me think about it, I'll make a list for you tomorrow, go to bed early now," Eric said.
"Don't be perfunctory with me, I want it tomorrow!" the girl said relentlessly.
"No problem, I will definitely give it to you tomorrow." After finishing speaking, Eric got up and walked towards the stairs. He did not go directly to the bedroom, but walked into the study. Seeing the girl following up, Eric said: "Don't bother me Me, you go to bed first, always stay up late to be careful that you will become ugly before you are thirty."
"Hmph!" The girl frowned, turned and walked towards the bedroom unwillingly.
Eric was on the lower left side of the desk, found a notebook and spread it in front of him, picked up the pen, and remembered what happened just now, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. Unexpectedly, Quentin Tarantino, who was known as the "ghost" director in his previous life, would take the initiative to join him. come up. Although Lawrence Bender is not as famous as Quentin, the two are actually old partners. Quentin's series of films are all produced by Lawrence Bender.
However, since two guys who should have become famous two years later came together because of my butterfly effect, then I don't know if the famous "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction" in the previous life will appear, after all, the butterfly effect The influence of the movie is really big, maybe it was just a mistake, and Quentin missed the idea of creating these two movies. At the same time, Eric is also very curious about what script Quentin will come up with tomorrow.
