Hearing Laura Pena's questioning, Aniston glanced at Eric next to her from the corner of her eye. Seeing her boyfriend blinking his eyes nonchalantly, she approached the microphone and said, "I've watched the episode of "Home Alone 2" Trial screening, this movie is even better than the first one, Little Stu is still very good, Matthew is still so bad, and other actors, their performances are also very good. So I think, this movie At least it should be able to reach the box office of 200 million U.S. dollars."
"Wow, 200 million US dollars, an astonishing figure, I hope Miss Aniston's words can bring good luck to this film." Laura Pena has no comparison with last year's first "Home Alone" Meaning, and then asked: "By the way, Miss Aniston, I heard that Mr. Matthew Perry, who plays the young stupid thief Marvin, was your former classmate, right?"
Aniston nodded: "Yeah, when Eric was selecting actors last year, he searched for a long time but couldn't find a candidate for Marvin, so I recommended Matthew to him, just a simple audition, Eric It was decided to let Matthew play this role, and it turned out that Eric's choice was right."
"Unexpectedly, there is such an interesting anecdote," Laura Pena followed with a hint of ridicule and narrowness in her tone: "So, Miss Aniston, you introduced Mr. Matthew Perry to Mr. Williams, ⊙, could it be Are you not afraid that he will be jealous?"
Aniston's eyes widened when he heard this question, and he tightened his arm around Eric's arm, and said, "How could it be possible, if Eric liked it, he wouldn't choose Matthew as Marvin?" actor."
After a brief interview, the two walked across the red carpet. A pass into the cinema.
Greeted everyone who had already entered the theater. Eric leaned close to Aniston's ear and said suddenly: "Jenny, actually, I'm very upset, you have to think about making it up to me tonight."
Aniston gave Eric a hard look: "You have done so many messy things, I am almost mad at you, and I have never seen you compensate me."
"How about making it up to you twice tonight?" Eric said with a smirk on his face, and put his arms around Aniston's waist, pinching a certain sensitive meat through the dress .
A tingling sensation came from his waist, and Aniston's whole body softened slightly. Pushing Eric away forcefully, he blushed and reproached, "You beast, you've been thinking about these things all day long, so I'll ignore you."
After the little girl finished speaking, she really ran away from Eric, and not only deliberately walked towards Matthew Perry, but also warmly hugged Matthew Perry.
Eric shrugged helplessly. Just as he was about to follow the chick, Donald Trump, who had participated in the cameo role at the time, walked up with a smile on his face and greeted Eric from a distance. Donald was followed by a blond woman who looked less than thirty years old, holding a little girl in her hand. It is the little loli Ivanka.
"Hi, Eric, long time no see," Donald Trump came over, hugged Eric warmly, and then introduced: "Eric, this is my wife, Ivana. Ivan Na, this is Eric Williams."
Eric shook hands with Ivana Trump politely.
At this time, a crisp loli voice sounded: "Eric, do you remember me?"
"Of course, Yi Ni," Eric smiled and stretched out his hand, wanting to pinch Ivanka's tender face, but was met with strong protest from the little Lolita: "Hey, Eric, don't pinch girls casually face."
Eric squatted down in front of the little girl, and asked with great interest, "Why can't you pinch it?"
Ivanka tilted her head and thought for a while, but couldn't find a suitable reason, and then said aggressively with her eyes wide open, "Anyway, I just can't pinch it."
Eric was about to continue teasing the little loli, but Aniston had already walked back, saw the little loli Ivanka Trump, and immediately exclaimed happily: "Wow, what a beautiful little girl, doll Same." After speaking, before Ivanka could react, Aniston reached out and pinched the little girl's face.
"Ah, you adults are so annoying!"
During the frenzied struggle of the little Lolita, several people laughed. Aniston saw the strange little girl's reaction so violently, so she let go of her hand and apologized to Ivanka's mother: "I'm sorry, Did I do something wrong?"
"It's nothing, Miss Aniston, Aniston is usually very obedient, but she is a little resistant to unfamiliar people." Ivana smiled and explained, "Friends" is now a household name, and Ivana also knows Annie without any introduction. ston.
Aniston still nodded apologetically, and looked at Eric, who quickly introduced her, and then the four of them ignored the angry little loli and chatted with each other.
"Eric, what you said at the premiere of "Small Island" at the beginning of the month is really domineering. I heard that the box office of this movie has already exceeded 50 million, and the cost is only 5 million?"
"Yes, although the production cost is only five million, the distribution cost is higher."
Donald Trump knew a little about the release of the movie, and said, "Even so, Firefly will definitely make a lot of money, Eric, how much box office do you think this movie will get in total?"
Anyway, these data newspapers have a lot of analysis, and Eric didn't feel that there was any need to keep it secret. He replied: "It is conservatively estimated that North America can have 150 million US dollars. It is difficult to say overseas, but the main overseas box office market is in Europe. With the halo of the Venice Silver Lion Award, and the quality of the film itself is not bad, I think overseas may be even higher."
Hearing what Eric said, Donald Trump became more eager. According to what Eric said, this small-cost movie with a cost of only five million is estimated to bring seventy to eighty million to Firefly. Profit, this is not counting the peripherals such as video tapes in the later period, and the upcoming "Home Alone 2" will definitely bring more profits. Not to mention the other movies about to be released by Firefly, with these two movies alone, Eric can earn at least 200 million, and these are all cash. Donald wants cash now and wants to go crazy.
Of course, it was impossible for Eric not to notice the change in Donald Trump's eyes, and sighed in his heart. Although he didn't get along with him for a long time, he had a good impression of the real estate tycoon. But after all, he is a very mature person, and it is impossible for him to help out because of personal emotions. Eric believes that even Donald Trump's best friend may give him some help within his ability, but he will not be there. At this time, a large sum of money is invested in Donald Trump's real estate projects that may collapse at any time.
In order to prevent Donald Trump from having a hot fantasy, Eric felt that it would be better to speak clearly.
At this time, the staff informed the premiere guests that they could enter the screening hall.
"Jenny, can you and Mrs. Trump go to the screening room first, and I will talk to Donald." Eric said a few words to Aniston, and did not avoid the Trump family.
Donald nodded to his wife, and Ivanka was about to pull the little girl away with Aniston, but Ivanka broke away from her mother's hand, and said solemnly like a little adult: "Mom, you go first, I have something to discuss with Eric."
Ivana keenly sensed that her husband and Eric had something serious to talk about, she tugged at her daughter, and said, "Yini, don't make trouble, go with mom, let's go see Kevin."
"I'm not interested in that little kid," Ivanka suddenly broke away from her mother's hand, and hugged her father's leg like a little koala, no matter how much her mother pulled her, she would not let go.
In the end, Eric said, "Ms. Trump, just let Yi Ni stay here, I don't have anything important."
Perhaps realizing something, Donald Trump picked up his daughter and nodded to his wife.
After the people in the living room had almost left, Eric and Donald sat down on the sofa together. Little Lori didn't rush to speak, and blinked her beautiful big eyes between her father and Eric. go.
Eric organized his language before he said: "Donald, I have read some information about your company."
Donald Trump smiled slightly awkwardly, and laughed at himself: "It's a mess, right?"
Eric shook his head honestly: "Of course not. According to the normal progress, several projects you are working on will be completed next year. Although the real estate industry is in a downturn, as long as those projects are completed instead of unfinished, I will I believe that with your ability, you will definitely be able to make a profit." Eric said here, and added: "This is not a compliment, I have read your information, when you were still in college in the late 1960s, you operated A condominium project in Cincinnati, Ohio, made $1 million a year, the Hyatt Hotel on 42nd Avenue in Manhattan, and the ice skating rink in Central Park.”
Donald Trump heard Eric mentioning some of his proudest past events, his face showed a little complacency, but he soon thought of his current situation and couldn't help sighing.
Eric didn't wait for Donald Trump to speak, and continued: "But, Donald, just as you need money to develop your own business, I also need a lot of money to expand my film company, and even if I have extra funds, Compared with the needs of your few real estate projects, it will not help."
Donald Trump knew that Eric was telling the truth, nodded freely, and said with a smile: "I see."
The two were silent for a moment, and Eric suddenly asked again: "Donald, you should have been trying to raise funds during this time, right?"
"Well, the bank syndicate that gave me the loan refused to provide me with any more funds. I can only find a way to raise funds from other places. I have already contacted all the investors that I can contact during this period, and I have also been introduced by friends. A trip to Japan. It’s a pity that the Japanese have too much appetite and want to take over the whole project at a very low price. The price they offered is not enough for me to pay off the debt, so of course I will not agree.”
Eric thought for a while and said, "Donald, maybe you were working in the wrong direction at the beginning." (To be continued...)
