Eric waited for about twenty minutes, and a red sports car appeared at the intersection not far away, and stopped in front of him in a blink of an eye.
Eric stepped forward, the car window fell, the girl didn't even bother to open the car door, her small body came out of the car window, Eric smiled and quickly reached out to catch the girl, and hugged the girl out of the car.
Habitually tired of being on Eric for a while, the girl sniffled her little nose and said with a smile: "Eric, you smell like a woman, you couldn't be kicked out of bed at the last moment, right?"
Noticing the embarrassment that flashed across Eric's face, Xiao Nizi couldn't help laughing: "Hehe, I guessed it right, so pitiful, let little Drew hug me and stop crying."
Eric slapped the girl's buttocks dumbfoundedly, looked at the flushed face after drinking, and said, "It's so late, go home and rest."
"Well, go home, you carry me into the car..."
Eric put his arms around the girl, opened the door and pushed her in, but he didn't get in the car directly. He went to the front and knocked on the window of the driver's cab. The glass slid down, and the twins asked, "Master, what's the matter?"
Eric just took a look, made sure that the twins were not drinking, and nodded: "It's okay, let's go."
"Eric, don't look at it. How could I let them drink? How dangerous is it to drink and drive? Huh, I'm a little dizzy. I need a hug."
Eric got into the back seat of the car, and felt the girl's small body immediately bullied her. He stretched out his arms and touched her small head, and said with a smile, "I really want to knock you stupid."
"Hehe, it's no use knocking me into a fool. I can still guess what you're going to do when you raise your hand."
Feeling the car start, Eric smiled and raised his hand: "Come on, guess what I'm going to do?"
The girl who was comfortably pillowed on Eric's lap stretched out her small hand and pulled Eric's big hand in front of her, nibbled on it twice, and said with a smile: "It's too deliberate, don't guess."
The sports car drove for more than ten minutes on the winding mountain road in Beverly Hills, and entered the Trousdale Manor. Eric was talking with the girl with his head down. Natasha on the co-pilot turned around: "Master, there is someone at the door."
Eric looked up, and at the door of Drew's mansion, a black SUV was parked at the door.
Xiao Nizi also sat up when she heard Natasha's words. She took a look with her head and said with a smile, "Gwyneth Paltrow, I must have forgotten something when I left."
Eric wondered: "Forget what?"
"How would I know," the girl said without changing her smile, "Anyway, you can just grab something. Just come back if you have an excuse."
Eric also understood in an instant, smiled, and said nothing.
Seeing the girl's red sports car parked at the entrance of the mansion, Gwyneth Paltrow, who was sitting in the SUV, took a deep breath, opened the door and got out of the car, with an apologetic look on her face, and walked towards Ai Rui Ke and Drew: "I'm so sorry, Drew, I left my bag at your house. I have an audition form tomorrow and it's still in the bag. I can only come back at this time to get it."
The girl took Gwyneth Paltrow's hand affectionately: "It's okay, Kate, it's already so late, why don't you stay tonight."
"Won't it bother you?" Gwyneth Paltrow said this to Eric.
Eric looked speechlessly at the two girls who were like sisters who obviously didn't have the same feelings, just nodded, saw the gate open, and walked towards the yard.
Gwyneth Paltrow saw that Eric didn't intend to talk to her, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she quickly changed her expression and dealt with the little girl who was still holding her hand.
"Let's go in." The girl said without seeming to notice Gwyneth Paltrow's expression, and ordered the twins to drive Gwyneth Paltrow's car into the garage.
Eric walked into the yard and saw the two maids who were still busy and some sundries still scattered around, so he knew that the girl was having a party at his home when he called. The two maids don't know much about Eric's character. Seeing him appear, the work in hand has not yet been finished, there is unavoidable anxiety in his eyes, worried that he will be scolded.
It was almost one o'clock in the morning, and Eric waved his hand. Said: "Go and rest first, and clean up tomorrow."
The two maids breathed a sigh of relief, quickly finished the little work in front of them, and disappeared quietly.
Two years of chirping chatter came from behind him, Eric didn't have any interest in mixing it up, he took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, he went upstairs and planned to turn on the water for a bath.
A moment later, Natasha, who was holding Eric's coat in her hand, appeared quietly at the door of the room, hung the coat on the hanger next to her, walked over and said softly, "Master, let me do it."
Eric got up, asked Natasha to watch the water flow, walked to the sink, took out his toothbrush, squeezed toothpaste and asked, "What is Drew doing down there?"
"Chat with Miss Paltrow."
"It's so late, let them talk tomorrow."
"Well," Natasha nodded, seeing Eric start brushing his teeth, focus on the bathtub, fill it with water, reach out to test the temperature of the water, and exit the room quietly.
After brushing his teeth, Eric took off his clothes and soaked in the bathtub, and squinted his eyes comfortably under the stimulation of warm water. After a while, he felt that the restrooms were pushed away, and the girl quickly jumped into the bathtub.
Eric pressed her restless little body into her arms, and said with a smile, "Stop making trouble, it's so late, where is Gwyneth Paltrow?"
"Go to the guest room to sleep, Eric, are you going to attack at night, maybe she will be looking forward to it?"
"Not interested, since you don't like her, why are you so perfunctory?"
The girl rubbed against Eric's shoulder, and said, "It's very interesting to see how she clearly hates me in her heart, but still tries her best to get close to me."
Eric patted the girl and said, "Don't play too much."
"If you don't like it, I'll just ignore her."
Eric shook his head: "It's not necessary, but how did I hear you just called her Kate?"
"That's her Christian name, it was given by her godfather."
Eric asked curiously, "Oh, what about your Christian name?"
"I just randomly met the goddaughter when I was filming "ET". At that time, she was eight years old. How could she have a Christian name? She was born and bred in a famous Hollywood family. She was given a very formal name in the church during the baptism."
Feeling that the girl was inexplicably depressed, Eric leaned over and kissed the baby's face: "It's okay. How about I give you a Christian name."
"Okay, do you want me to call you Daddy?"
"Uh... don't call it that."
"Hehe," the girl twisted her body again, splashing out a splash of water: "You obviously like it very much. I can feel it."
Eric stretched out his hand to hold the girl again: "If you make trouble again, I will throw you out."
"Hehe," the girl laughed a few times, stopped tossing, and said, "By the way, Eric. I got a really cool script today, and it cost a total of 500,000 dollars. Please help me see it."
"Tomorrow, don't even look at what time it is."
"Just take a look," Xiao Nizi became more energetic as the time went by, so she climbed to the edge of the bathtub, grabbed the shampoo bottle and tapped it on the edge of the bathtub, shouting loudly: "Nata Sha, Natasha..."
The twin voices came: "Boss?"
"Help me get the script for today."
"OK."
After a while, the Yu room door was gently pushed open. Natasha walked in with a script in her hand, but a faint blush appeared on her usually quiet and beautiful face, her eyes slightly dodged, not daring to look at Eric who was soaking in the bathtub.
Although there was a layer of foam floating on the bathtub and he couldn't see anything, Eric also felt a little embarrassed. He was about to tell Natasha to go out quickly, but the little girl stretched out her two white arms, letting Natasha Sha helped her dry with a towel and said, "Why are you so shy. I belong to Eric, and you belong to Eric too."
Natasha responded in a low voice: "Yes, boss."
Watching the twins leave, Eric asked, "What have you done?"
The girl did not answer directly. He said with a smile: "If you don't want them, I will give them to others."
"Forehead… "
"Okay, I won't give them to others, hehe, let's read the script," Xiao Nizi held the script in one hand. Handed over a dry towel in one hand.
Eric wiped his hands, took the script from the girl and opened it, his eyes almost popped out.
The cover of the script has only one word, "Scream", and the name Eric is familiar with, Kevin Williamson, is also on the screenwriter column.
Fortunately, Xiao Nizi turned around to hang up the towel and didn't see the short-term surprise on Eric's face, otherwise she would definitely guess something.
Feeling the girl turned around, Eric asked casually while flipping through the script: "Where did this script come from?"
"Recently everyone is vying for it, but the price has been raised to 350,000 US dollars. Several major studios have withdrawn, and only a few independent production companies are still competing. I think this script is very cool, so I directly offered 500,000 US dollars. $10,000 was taken down."
Scripts written by big-name Hollywood screenwriters can sell for 2 to 5 million US dollars, but due to the limited box office potential, the price of scripts for horror films is usually not too high. Looking at the current situation, the asking price of 500,000 US dollars is a bit high. For a horror film script, around 200,000 US dollars is not bad, even if it is more exciting, it will not exceed 400,000 US dollars. At the price of 350,000 US dollars, they exited one after another.
Xiao Nizi once again guessed his thoughts from Eric's expression, and explained: "The $500,000 is not only for this one script, but also includes contracts for two other sequels, and two other scripts of the same type, plus Come to think of it, it’s actually five.”
Hearing what the girl said, Eric's thoughts just disappeared.
It is true.
How could this girl be at a disadvantage.
Eric can guess the thoughts of screenwriter Kevin Williamson. In Hollywood, as an unknown screenwriter, 500,000 US dollars is definitely a huge sum of money. Hollywood has thousands of scripts every year, and many screenwriters often work together. After the two works fell silent, they may not earn 500,000 US dollars in their lifetime. Kevin Williamson must also have the idea of earning a little more from this script.
However, with a five-film contract of $500,000, when "Scream" sells well at the box office, Kevin Williamson will definitely regret it to the point of crying.
Sensing Eric's emotional changes, the girl smiled proudly twice, and said, "Eric, what do you think of me acting in the role of the girl who was killed at the beginning of the script?"
Eric leaned on the edge of the bathtub, flipped through the script in his hand, and asked calmly, "Why do you have this idea?"
"I just thought it was very interesting. I haven't acted in a movie in a long time. And this role won't take long."
"Well, do it if you like, by the way, how's Tina's "Mean Girls" script going?"
"The preparations have already begun. We plan to put it in the schedule at the end of the year, and this "Scream". The sequel to Mission: Impossible, Kevin Costner's agent called two days ago and said he wanted to talk about the sequel."
Eric asked, "How did you reply to him?"
Xiao Nizi smiled and said: "Of course I ignored him. Everyone now knows that "Future Water World" has a big problem. Although the filming has been barely finished, we found out that the film has already been spent during the filming period." I heard that the original director was so scared that he quit at the end of the filming. Now the post-production costs at least 30 to 40 million US dollars. Kevin Costner must want to sign "On the Disc" first. Spy" sequel. In case "Future Water World" fails, he can also get some guarantees, I will not let him succeed, even if you want to talk about it, let's wait until "Future Water World" is released, haha. With "Future Water World" Scream and Mean Girls are enough to keep Amy and I busy for a long time, and we will also participate in the promotion of "Forrest Gump" in the summer file, and "Night at the Museum" , there are too many things."
Last year, under the pressure of the collective 'strike' of big-name actors, Warner took over the "Future Water World" that Kevin Costner has been preparing. I will definitely regret it now.
The final production cost was 170 million, and the publicity and distribution would cost another 30 million U.S. dollars, for a total cost of 200 million U.S. dollars. Warner needs to recover 600 million U.S. dollars worldwide. It is only possible to recover the cost at the box office. Based on Eric's memory of this film, it is impossible for the world to have 600 million US dollars. When the box office is low, even if you are a blockbuster film that burns 200 million dollars in cost, the income from peripheral video tapes and TV licenses will definitely not be high. Warner's huge loss in this film is almost a certainty.
Eric couldn't help but think of Warner's summer film list for this year, in addition to "Future Water World", there are also "Batman Forever", "Heat", "Fight against the Communist Party", "Vapor Secret Order" For the four films, except for "Batman Forever", which has a guaranteed income, Eric does not remember any of the other films, at least in terms of box office, being a global hit. But the cost of these five films is higher than the last one. Not to mention the collapsed cost of 170 million in "Future Water World", "Batman Forever" cost 120 million US dollars because of its stars, and "Vapor Secret" because Arnold Schwarzenegger's high salary also cost 100 million U.S. dollars, and the other "Firewire" is 70 million U.S. dollars. Last year, Eric accidentally messed up "Fight against the ***" The production cost is considered the lowest, but it is also a big-budget film of 50 million US dollars.
In Eric's view, these films are definitely not worth the high production costs. Although Time Warner's film business revenue will increase significantly this year with the continuous bombing of five blockbuster films in the summer, but in terms of profits, Eric It is almost certain that compared to last year's annual loss of only US$91 million, Warner's loss this year will definitely increase significantly, and Time Warner CEO Terry Semel's life will become more and more difficult.
Perhaps, taking advantage of Time Warner's sluggish performance, Firefly can do something.
After all, Time Warner has something that Eric is very greedy but Firefly hardly has.
…
Lying on a strange big bed in a strange room, Gwyneth Paltrow tossed and turned for a long time, with a mess in her mind, anticipation, yearning, jealousy,...
Although she was also Spielberg's goddaughter back then, Gwyneth Paltrow has always been a little disdainful of Drew, a low-level girl who just relies on her surname to make a living in Hollywood. But Drew's good luck over the years has made her go crazy with jealousy. Just thinking about the multi-million dollar mansion she is in, Gwyneth Paltrow gritted her teeth, she didn't even know where she was. When will you be able to buy a house like this that is completely your own. Thinking that in the past few years, she has been deliberately lowering her profile to associate with Drew, but this little bitch has not even brought her even a chance to audition for a big-name movie, and she feels even more resentful in her heart.
Bitchi!
Didn't you just fall in love with Eric Williams
Definitely, I must snatch him over.
I don't know how long I thought about it in my heart, but the sky outside the window lighted up, and Gwyneth Paltrow fell into a deep sleep. When I opened my eyes again, the sunlight had covered most of the bedroom.
He picked up the watch in a daze and glanced at it. At half past nine, Gwyneth Paltrow sat up suddenly. Washed up hastily, sat in front of the dressing table and carefully dressed herself up, and said silently several times in my heart, I hope he hasn't left, otherwise. I don't know when it will happen next time I meet again. That little bitch never took the initiative to introduce Eric Williams to them. Some girls begged her to take them to the Pointe Manor many times, but failed.
After carefully dressing up, Gwyneth Paltrow left the guest room. There were no traces of last night's party inside or outside the villa, and it even seemed empty. When she walked all the way to the living room, Gwyneth Paltrow was not there. meet anyone.
Just when she was about to go out, she saw one of the twins coming down the stairs holding some clothes and saw her. Politely stop and say hello.
Although a little jealous of the twins' flawless faces, Gwyneth Paltrow asked calmly, "Natasha, where is Mr. Williams?"
"Miss Paltrow, the master is outside."
Gwyneth Paltrow froze for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "You... call him master?"
The twins nodded, without any change in expression, and asked, "Miss Paltrow, do you want breakfast?"
"Well, help me prepare a fruit salad and add some honey. I want another glass of milk, warm it up a little, forty degrees is best, oh. Send it outside later, I want to eat it in the yard," Gwyneth ? Paltrow digested the question of address just now, felt the respect of the twins, and subconsciously ordered like a hostess.
"Okay, Miss Paltrow." Natasha nodded, turned and walked away quietly.
Gwyneth Paltrow stood there in a daze for a moment, then pulled herself together and walked outside the courtyard.
Outside the villa is a square swimming pool, with lawns and some shrubs on both sides. The gate is on the west, and there is a large open space for temporary parking. A small road extends out to the east, which is a triangular viewing terrace overlooking the entire Los Angeles.
Gwyneth Paltrow saw Eric sitting at the long table on the terrace, seeming to be on the phone. There were laptops, fax machines and a pile of documents on the long table. The other twin was sitting quietly on a chair at the entrance to the terrace, holding a book in his hand, and reading quietly with his head down.
Although she felt that this scene was a bit strange, Gwyneth Paltrow walked over without hesitation, but just as she reached the terrace, she was stopped by the twins who got up: "Sorry, Miss Paltrow, the boss is calling Telephone."
Although she knew she was not alone, the radical change in the attitudes of the two identical girls still made Gwyneth Paltrow a little displeased, and insisted: "I just want to say hello to Mr. Williams, no would bother him."
The twins still just shook their heads quietly, and didn't mean to let her go. Noticing that Eric was also looking over, Gwyneth Paltrow waved to Eric eagerly.
Eric nodded with a smile, said a few words to the person on the other side, and then hung up the phone: "Natasha, let Gwynnie come over."
"Okay, master," Natasha replied softly, stepped aside quietly, sat down on the chair again and quietly read the book in her hand.
Gwyneth Paltrow walked forward briskly, but quickly restrained her movements, and greeted ladylikely: "Good morning, Eric."
"Morning," Eric smiled lightly, not minding her familiarity, sat down in front of the laptop, and opened a document.
Gwyneth Paltrow was originally sitting on the other side of the long table. Seeing Eric sitting down opposite, she immediately got up and walked to him, sat down next to him, glanced at the laptop interface, and happened to see the desktop The YCR software icon on the phone, and said: "Eric, you also use YCR, and I have one too, can you give me your number?"
"Sorry, Gwynnie, this is for work, no personal friends."
Gwyneth Paltrow persistently pestered: "Oh, don't you have a private number?" (To be continued.)
