"... That's it, they'll pass by later."
Eric hung up Connery's phone, and said to the boys and girls around him: "Now, you can call your parents. If they agree, you can go to Pointe Manor next time. Someone will Treat you."
Several teenagers cheered and left to make a phone call. Only Christina heard Eric's words and asked, "Mr. Williams, aren't you with us?"
Eric looked at the somewhat precocious girl in front of him. Although Christina in her previous life was not as famous and rich as Britney, compared to Britney's messy career and life, Christina could be regarded as a winner in life.
"I still have work, but I can invite you to have dinner with me tonight."
There was a disappointed expression on Christina's face, and she gave a low oh, I don't know if she was pretending, but then the girl looked at Eric expectantly, and said with a sweet smile: "Mr. Williams, Then we'll wait for your return."
"Hurry up and call your parents. If your parents don't agree, you can't go."
Although today's rehearsal is not over yet, but the big boss personally spoke, the person in charge of the program group didn't dare to ≧↗ anything, and personally sent a car to send a few teenagers to Malibu.
Katzenberg didn't express any opinions on Eric's actions. He regarded Eric's behavior as a teenager who wanted to show off. After all, Eric was just a twenty-something in his eyes. A young man in his early teens, Katzenberg himself was forty-two.
The two then watched a few more sets before leaving the Disney production center. On the way back to Disney headquarters. Katzenberg, who was sitting next to Eric, said, "Eric, I had someone re-edit "The Wind and Cloud of Justice". Would you like to watch it again when you have time?"
Eric thought of "Brave" which was supposed to be released in early November last year, shook his head and said, "You don't need to watch it, the biggest problem with this movie lies in the casting, the leading actor, Ron Dean, always makes people have a sense of humor." There is an inexplicable sense of drama, and I don’t think there is any need for this movie to be released, so let’s release the video tape directly.”
Katzenberg nodded first, saying that releasing the video tape would save a lot of publicity costs. However, he thought about it, and quickly suggested: "After all, it is an investment of nearly 50 million US dollars. It is better to release it on a small scale in September. The cost of publicity and distribution in the off-season will be much lower. After all, some funds can be recovered."
"That's it," Eric said: "Also, the "Crazy Nun" we just saw can be slightly more publicized. Whoopi Goldberg's comedy performance in "Human Ghost" "Unfinished" is very eye-catching, and this movie may bring some surprises to Disney."
Even the conceited Katzenberg would not doubt Eric's vision in movies, listen to Eric. Katzenberg took the matter seriously in his memo.
After coming to the Disney headquarters, I had a short meeting with several Disney executives. Eric had just returned to Malibu from get off work.
It was already 6:30 when I got home. Eric walked into the villa and heard a burst of laughter coming from the kitchen. He walked over and leaned on the door frame to look inside. Seven or eight teenagers together with Connery They were all surrounded by two people dressed as chefs. When they saw Eric appear, the teenagers put down their things and walked towards him. Only then did Eric see clearly that several teenagers were making dumplings. They were very familiar in his memory. The scene in this situation made him feel a little weird and inconsistent.
After greeting each other, Connery said: "Eric, I called the chef of the Chinese restaurant to cook Chinese food for them. Everyone is learning how to make dumplings. It's very interesting."
Eric nodded with a smile, he had already realized this from the Chinese faces of the two chefs.
"Go ahead, I'll take a shower first, Jenny, can you prepare some clothes for me?" Eric said, turning around and walking upstairs.
Connery responded, followed, walked side by side with Eric and asked, "Why did you think of inviting these little guys to your house?"
"What's the matter, don't you like it?" Eric asked.
Connery shook his head. The teenagers were very polite and treated her as Eric's girlfriend. Connery enjoyed the treatment of the hostess: "I'm just a little curious," after thinking about it, Connery turned his head and glanced behind him, making sure no one was following him, and then said, "Hey, you won't... won't you fall in love with any girl?"
Eric laughed and said, "Do you think I'm this kind of person?"
Connery nodded seriously: "I heard you... When you met Drew, she was only thirteen years old, and you had her idea at that time, hehe."
Eric stretched out an index finger and shook it, retorting: "You got it wrong, it was that little girl who planned on me since she was thirteen years old, she was planning it for a long time."
Connery laughed, thumped Eric on the shoulder, and said, "Sophistry, when I was cleaning the house today, I found a copy of "Lolita."
Eric remembered that Drew should have bought it and left it here. Xiao Nizi said that she wanted to study the skills of seducing the uncle, but he didn't explain it to Connery, but joked: "I'm using a You are looking at that book from the angle of scientific research, so don’t get it wrong.”
"hehe… "
…
Eric came out of the shower, and Connery had already returned to help in the kitchen, so he picked up a magazine and sat on the sofa near the glass curtain wall to read.
After a while, a small figure came out of a bathroom, kept shaking the water droplets on his small hands, looked up and saw Eric sitting there, and was startled.
"Sorry, Mr. Williams, I didn't know you were here," Britney said a little flustered.
Eric pushed the facial tissue on the coffee table in front of him: "Hey, use this."
Britney walked over cautiously, and took out a few facial tissues from the paper box to dry her little hands. Seeing that Eric was still staring at her, she turned her head to look in the direction of the kitchen. It was as if he was expecting someone to come out and save him.
Eric looked at the little girl's cramped appearance. Laughing: "Do I look scary?"
"No. Of course not," Britney shook her head like a rattle. Because she fell on the stage in front of Eric in the afternoon, the little girl was always shy and embarrassed facing Eric. Girls are usually a bit precocious, not to mention that Britney has already participated in various trainings and performances at the age of eight, and her mind is more mature than those of her peers who stayed in school. However, looking at Eric with a faint smile on his handsome face, the little girl inevitably felt a little inferiority complex in her heart.
"Sit down. Chat with me, anyway, there are so many people in the kitchen, there is no shortage of you." Eric pointed to the opposite sofa and said.
Britney obediently sat down opposite Eric, but kept her eyes slightly lowered.
"Who is in your family?" Eric asked gently, closing the magazine and pressing it on his knees.
"Dad, mom, brother, and sister," Britney replied.
Eric only remembers that Britney had a younger sister and a pair of mercenary parents. It didn't matter to Britney's brother: "Are they all in Los Angeles?"
"Well, my mother gave birth to a younger sister last year. My father moved to Los Angeles with my brother."
…
Christina made another dumpling that looked good, picked it up and showed it to her friends, only to realize that Britney hadn't come back after going out for a long time, this made the little girl instinctively vigilant, put down her hands Christina politely said a few words to Connery, walked out of the kitchen, and immediately saw Britney who was being teased by Eric.
Oops, it was preempted by that stupid girl Britney.
Christina thought so, with a little jealousy in her eyes. Eric saw Christina and waved to her. Christina quickly put away her thoughts, smiled sweetly, and walked over briskly.
"Chris, we were talking about you just now," Britney said without thinking, and at the same time moved to the side, allowing Christina to sit next to her.
Christina asked with some vigilance: "What?"
"Of course we're at the Mickey Mouse Club," Britney replied.
Eric looked at the two girls opposite and said, "Britney just talked about your singing again. I heard that both of you sing very well. Let me sing it when you have time."
"Okay," Christina said quickly, "It can be done now."
Eric shook his head: "Forget about today, I'll have dinner right away."
Christina wanted to show off, but when she heard Eric say that, she nodded in frustration.
After chatting for a while, Connery poked his head out of the kitchen and called them to eat. Britney had long been aroused by the unique aroma of Chinese food, so she stood up and ran to the restaurant.
Eric put the magazine away and was about to get up, but Christina bit her lips, and finally summoned up her courage and said, "Mr. Williams, Britney's singing is actually not as good as mine, and all the teachers in the club are like this." Said."
Eric felt more interesting, and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about?"
"I... I just want to say that Britney is only a little prettier than me. She can't compare to me in other areas. I will definitely be able to perform better than her."
"Oh, I see," Eric nodded noncommittally.
Christina said again: "Mr. Williams, are you today... are you going to choose actors from us?"
Eric raised his eyebrows, and finally understood the reasons for the little girl's abnormal behavior. He shook his head with a smile and said, "No, I just went to check the work of the Disney studio today, and it has nothing to do with selecting actors."
Christina showed no signs of discouragement. Instead, she came over and squatted beside Eric, and asked expectantly, "Mr. Williams, do you think I can be an actor?"
"Aren't you an actor now?"
"I mean, movie actors, like, like Stuart Runkle?"
Eric thought of the information about Christina that he saw today. Like many American children, Christina grew up in a broken family. When she was six years old, her mother finally couldn't bear her father's domestic violence and chose to divorce. Live in exile. Because singing is better, he started to perform on stage to make money at the age of eight. Children who grew up in this environment are precocious and full of desire for a good material life, so they just said what I just said, "Home Alone 3" again A success made Stewart the most successful child actor in the world, directly reflected in the $10 million salary.
"Chris, feel free to perform at the Mickey Mouse Club. As long as you work hard, you will definitely stand out in the future, and you don't have to make movies," Eric said, patting the back of Christina's hand. He doesn't have the consciousness of a savior, not to mention that with his current status, there is no need to rely on supporting one or two future superstars to achieve meritorious deeds. Eric is more like watching the superstars in the past life deviate from the original life track. what it looks like.
Seeing that Eric was about to get up, Christina grabbed Eric's arm reflexively, with a pleading look in her eyes: "Mr. Williams, can you give me a chance? I heard that you have many girlfriends. I... I can be your girlfriend too."
Eric watched the girl clutching his little hand tightly, and said, "Stop messing around, Chris, I'm going to get angry if you do this again."
"No, Mr. Williams, I, I know I'm not pretty enough, but I can, I can take Britney, and we can be your girlfriend together," Christina stammered, but said it smoothly.
Eric raised his eyebrows again.
Christina thought that Eric was moved, and she was overjoyed, and continued: "Mr. Williams, Britney already has a crush on you, and she, she is always silly and easy to coax."
Eric almost laughed. Christina's evaluation of Britney's "silly" is really appropriate. Britney's series of scumbag boyfriends in her previous life were almost all people around her, and even the paparazzi could catch her. , It can be seen how coaxing Xiao Tiantian is, and she has been cheated continuously but has no long memory.
"Eric, uh... what are you doing?" Connery, who hadn't seen Eric appear after waiting for a while, came out of the restaurant, just in time to see the scene of Christina holding Eric's arm.
Seeing Connery appear, Christina let go of her hand in a panic. Eric shrugged at Connery and walked straight to the restaurant. Christina timidly followed behind him with her head down, not daring to look at Connery at all. Nally's face.
Connery glanced suspiciously between the two, but finally said nothing.
The dinner was very sumptuous. As soon as Eric walked into the restaurant, Britney came to Eric with a small plate of dumplings like a treasure: "Mr. Williams, I made this, do you want to try it?" ?”
Eric knew that the dumplings made by these children were prepared by the chef in advance, and he was not worried about eating strange dumplings. He nodded with a smile, took a bowl and picked two from Britney: "That's enough, thank you."
With Britney taking the lead, the other teenagers also presented their achievements. Only Christina felt like crying, because she was entangled with Eric just now, and she didn't know who took away the fruits of her labor. (To be continued..)
