"Eric..." Donald Trump softly called out to Eric, pouting at his daughter in his arms.
Ivanka looked very frustrated because of the failure of the performance just now. Although Donald Trump was eloquent enough to engage in pyramid schemes, he comforted, encouraged and even reprimanded his daughter for a long time in his usual way, but nothing seemed to happen. As a result, I can only ask Eric for help.
Although the matter was provoked by the little Lolita, if Eric hadn't agreed just now, it wouldn't have happened now. Eric couldn't shirk it, so he could only pull a chair to Ivanka's side.
Little Loli glanced sideways at Eric, and moved towards her father.
"Ivanka, this must be your first performance, right?" Eric asked gently after thinking about his words.
After a while, Ivanka nodded slightly.
"I remember when I was in school, it was a music class. The teacher asked a student in our class to sing a song on the podium. As a result, that guy, because he was too nervous, staggered and sang a few words, and finally sang directly on the podium. He fainted. It was also his first performance, so your performance just now was already very good, but you have completed more than half of the shots."
Eric did it in advance, made a comparison, and arranged an excuse for the little Lolita to clear the shadow in her heart. Sure enough, after listening to Eric's words, Ivanka seemed to relax a lot. But he still said softly: "But, when I was in school, I also sang to everyone, but it didn't happen... the situation you said happened."
"Then you must be on stage often, right?"
"Yeah," Ivanka nodded.
"Look, that's the crux. Acting is the same as singing. You'll be nervous the first time. Try it a few times and get used to it."
"Then..." Ivanka finally raised her head, blinked her beautiful eyes, and asked, "Mr. Williams, why was I nervous just now? I clearly told myself that this is a very easy thing."
"This..." Eric hesitated suddenly, which involved the issue of natural liberation. It stands to reason. Acting should be easy for an eight-year-old child, because the so-called natural liberation is to let the mental state of an adult actor return to the carefree and unscrupulous state of a child.
However, nothing is absolute, just like the little loli in front of me, she has already lost this state, but for Stuart, that little guy has not, and has maintained a state of natural liberation, so he can easily Just perform according to Eric's request. But Ivanka gets nervous.
"Ivanka, because this question is more complicated. So I can't explain it to you for the time being, because you can't understand it if you explain it."
Ivanka hummed obediently and didn't ask any more questions, but her expression was no longer as depressed as before.
"Mr. Donald, it's time to bury your seat," a staff member came over at this moment.
Donald Trump nodded, and hugged his daughter again: "Eni, Dad will be back soon, can you stay here obediently?"
"Well," Little Lolita nodded to her father, and forced a smile on her face.
The filming started again. This time, Little Loli Ann sat quietly on the side without saying anything, but still watched curiously as Eric directed the operation of the entire crew through the walkie-talkie, with big eyes shining.
…
After the shot in the corridor was divided into two parts by Eric, the shooting went much smoother. After a few ngs, it took 20 minutes, and the shot finally passed.
Donald Trump was also preparing to leave with his daughter. When the other party came, Eric did not greet him personally because he was too busy. He didn't even know that the other party brought his daughter with him. Now he is leaving, Eric Of course, it is impossible to treat the other party contemptuously. After all, as a real estate tycoon, Donald Trump came to play a cameo, and he didn't charge a penny for the guest appearance.
"Mr. Trump, thank you for coming here." Eric shook hands with Donald at the entrance of the Plaza Hotel.
"It's my honor too," Donald smiled, and then patted his daughter's shoulder next to him: "Eni, say goodbye to Eric."
Little Loli stepped forward and stretched out her little hand: "Goodbye, Mr. Williams."
"Goodbye, Miss Trump." Eric shook little Lolita's pink hand gently.
Ivanka withdrew her little hand, her big eyes still looked at Eric with sparkle: "Mr. Williams, are we friends?"
Eric looked startled, then nodded with a smile: "Of course."
"Then, you can call me Ivanka, or you can call me Ennie like your parents and brother. I'll call you Eric too, okay?"
"Of course no problem." Eric nodded again
"Eric, maybe, that..." Ivanka stammered twice, then looked at her father: "Dad, can I invite Eric to our house?"
Donald Trump almost wanted to pick up his daughter and kiss her hard, what a sweet little padded jacket. He was tossing about so many things today, not just to establish a personal relationship with Eric. Originally, he didn't know how to speak, and planned to hold some parties at home in a few days, and then tentatively invited Ai Rui, but he didn't expect his daughter to solve the problem for him directly.
Of course, although he was happy in his heart, Donald Trump remained calm on the surface, and just said to his daughter: "Of course, you are also a member of our family and have the right to invite guests."
"Then, Eric, come to my house as a guest when you are free." Little Lolita looked at Eric expectantly.
"I will," Eric said politely, but he didn't take it to heart, and completely took what Little Lolita said as childish words, maybe Ivanka would forget it in two days.
After watching the father and daughter leave, he returned to the crew.
…
"Mr. Williams, this is the first draft of the script for the first five episodes of the "X-Files" scriptwriting team, and Fox has come to urge you again. I hope you can cut out the trailer for "Home Alone 2" as soon as possible. They're going to show it on TV before October 17th. Also. Mr. Robert Shea said that some documents will be sent tonight... "
Eric flipped through the script of "X-Files" in his hand, listening to Alan reading the memo beside him.
After a while, Allen closed the memo: "That's all. By the way, Royce called from Central Park just now, saying that the crew also encountered some troubles when they were preparing for the location."
Eric raised his head immediately, "Home Alone 2" is the top priority at the moment: "What happened?"
"It's like this. An environmental protection organization in New York does not allow us to use artificial snow in a large area, and specially organized some people to come to supervise. Royce said that these people even had a small incident with our crew just now. conflict."
Eric didn't quite understand for a while, how could artificial snow have anything to do with environmental protection organizations
"Well, do you know what's going on?" Eric asked, although these issues should be the concerns of producers, but although Eric is the director, he is also one of the producers. And, at the end of the day. He has the greatest power in the crew, so when something big happens, he is the one who needs to come forward in the end.
There have been conflicts, and it seems that this matter will not be resolved easily, so Eric paid more attention to it. When he asked this sentence, Eric had already got up to get his coat and planned to go to the scene to see for himself.
Allen chased after him, and said with concern: "Eric, it's hard to take a rest in the morning, I think Mr. Hansen will definitely take care of those things, you'd better have a good rest.
"It's okay, I don't worry if I don't see it with my own eyes." Eric shook his head.
Alan had no choice but to get into the car with Eric and rush to Central Park.
On the way, Allen explained to Eric: "The thing is like this. There are two kinds of artificial snow. One is to use a snow machine to make real snowflakes, but that is too expensive and requires more environmental protection. It is also very harsh and requires a sub-zero temperature, which is definitely not possible now. Therefore, we use another method, which is to replace it with materials similar to snow. The chemical composition of this artificial snow is heptahydrate sulfuric acid Magnesium. Magnesium sulfate is actually harmless, and can even be used as a fertilizer for many plants. However, the environmental organization did not listen to our explanations, and did not trust our assurance that it would be cleaned up afterwards, but repeatedly used it on us This kind of thing is a restriction. As I just said, a field staff couldn't help but clashed with the other party. That's how it happened. The field staff felt that the other party was too picky, coupled with youthful vigor, so he made a move. .”
Eric, who was leaning on the back of the car seat and listening patiently, had a flash in his eyes, and then asked, "Is there no trouble?"
"No, they were pulled away as soon as they made contact." Allen shook his head.
Eric breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked again: "What about the media?"
"What?"
Eric repeated: "I mean, is there any media attention on this?"
Allen heard Eric's serious tone and quickly understood something, but he didn't answer for a while: "This, I'm not very clear. I thought it was just a pure... pure environmental protection incident, after all , Many crews have encountered such entanglements."
Eric took a deep breath and said to the driver in the front row: "Brutt, drive faster."
…
When he came to Central Park and passed through the blockade crew site, Eric saw seven or eight young men and women lying on the ground in disorder at a glance. These people all wore masks on their faces, but they wore very cool clothes, and their bare skin All kinds of environmental protection slogans are painted with green oil paint on them. Several crew members familiar to Eric stood helplessly on the periphery, while Jeffrey was spitting and discussing something with a woman who looked like she was in her thirties and was dressed similarly to those young people lying on the ground , looking excited.
"Ms. Schneider, how many times have I said that this place must be covered with fake snow, because this is a very important shot, and it will never work without snow. We have already made a lot of compromises, what else do you want? "
"Absolutely not, Mr. Hansen. If those chemical materials are spread directly on these vegetation, they will cause fatal damage to them."
"I have repeatedly promised you that after we finish filming, we will clean up the place completely. I even bought a special vacuum cleaner for this. Isn't that enough?"
That Ms. Schneider still shook her head: "No, absolutely not anyway. Central Park is the lung of Manhattan. If a piece of your lung is rotten, Mr. Hansen, how would you feel?"
"What can I say before you agree."
"We will never promise that there must be absolutely no fake snow on this lawn." Ms. Schneider seemed excited too.
The two were arguing fiercely, and Eric came over.
Jeffrey happened to be facing Eric, so he didn't know the situation, but for some reason, that Ms. Schneider recognized Eric at a glance, and walked towards Eric with a serious face: "Mr. Williams Well, I'm Shirley Schneider from New York Green, and I strongly protest your crew's behavior of laying chemicals on the lawn, and you must change this setting."
Jeffrey also came to Eric at this time, looked at the woman helplessly, and said to Eric: "Sorry, Eric, maybe our role here in the afternoon will be postponed for a while."
"It's okay," Eric patted Jeffrey on the shoulder, and then said to the woman in front of him: "Ms. Schneider, right? I just heard some arguments between you two, so, I want to ask you first, Do you know the composition of the artificial snow we use?"
Shirley Schneider sneered: "Of course I know, magnesium sulfate heptahydrate."
"What else?" Eric asked.
Shirley Schneider was taken aback: "What else?"
Eric said: "Don't you know that magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is not only harmless to plants, but is actually a kind of chemical? Therefore, we laying fake snow will not only cause no harm to these plants, but even be beneficial. "
Shirley Schneider blushed several times, and quickly said: "I don't understand what you said for the time being. I will collect some information when I go back. However, it is a kind of fertilizer, but you have laid such a thick layer , It must be an overdose, but I know that if you use too much of anything, it will have the opposite effect."
"I said a long time ago that after the shooting, we will definitely clean up carefully." Jeffrey interjected.
"I don't believe you, you profit-seeking capitalists, who knows if you will say one thing and do another, so if you want to spread..." Shirley Schneider pointed at the men and women scattered on the lawn: "Just Lay it on us!"
Eric glanced at the lawn, and a thought quickly popped into his mind. (To be continued..)
