Chapter 41: Can't hit again
After six o'clock in the afternoon, the crew members of "The Little Ghosts" came to the Eric home.
The sky was completely dark, and Eric, who had been discussing with chef Vanessa in the kitchen for a while, returned to the living room and looked around. Surprised to find that in addition to the members of the "Little Devils" crew, there were more than a dozen wearing. Beautiful girl in various colored dresses.
"Jeffrey, what are these girls going on?" Asked Jeffrey Hansen, Eric asked curiously.
Jeffrey smiled and said: "It’s Nickel. After they finished the film "The Little Ghosts," they took another filming of the campus comedy. These girls were known at that time. I don't know how to hear. The director of the Little Ghosts is going to have a party at home, and they are coming with Nickel. As for the reasons, I don’t think I have to explain it."
Eric smiled and the girls apparently rushed to him. However, he does not mind. There are only two or three women in the "Little Ghosts" group. All the others are men. The parties are all big men, and they are really boring.
Going to the center of the living room and taking a clap attracted the attention of everyone: "Everyone is quiet, listen to me."
The people in the living room quickly stopped talking and turned their eyes to Eric.
"First of all, I hope everyone has a good night. Today's party is to celebrate the success of "Little Ghosts". This success does not belong to me alone. Without your help, I can't be so short anyway. In the time, I finished the filming of "Little Ghosts", here, I will say thank you again."
Eric said, showing everyone to the slightest, and everyone in the living room followed suit.
Eric pressed his hands slightly to indicate that everyone was quiet, and then said: "Of course, just the words of gratitude are definitely not enough. "Little Ghosts" has achieved such amazing box office results, there are each of you. Hard work, so I specially prepared a dividend for everyone, and hope that we can have the opportunity to cooperate again."
After Eric finished, he took out a stack of envelopes with checks and distributed them to Jeffrey Hansen and distributed them to everyone. Eric has already written the name in advance on the envelope, so there is no possibility of making a mistake.
The amount of the check ranges from $200,000 to $500,000, depending on factors such as the position of the individual. Although it is insignificant compared to the box office of "Little Ghosts", this is equivalent to the salary of these crew members for several years. After all, they used to be mixed in the small-cost independent movie circle. Tens of thousands of dollars.
Of course, Eric has not forgotten to participate in the filming of "Little Ghosts" other actors, but those people's dividends must be richer, so Eric intends to get the "Little Ghosts" from Colombia after the split.
Some people may think that since the filming is completed, the two sides have already cleared up, why the big money will be distributed to others after the box office is sold. But every circle has a circle of rules, and those who break the rules will struggle in the circle. After the box office is sold, it is one of the rules of the film and television circle to distribute dividends to participants.
In the past life, because of the continuous over-expenditure of Titanic, James Cameron, who has clearly stated that he should give up all the benefits, received a huge dividend from Fox after the "Titanic" made a box office miracle. Both sides have been bad enough to push the other side to jump to the floor.
After the check was distributed, Eric announced that the party officially began, and then took Jeffrey Hansen up the stairs.
"Jeffrey, this is yours, enough for you to buy fireflies." Two people came to the balcony of the second floor Eric bedroom, Eric took out an envelope and handed it to Jeffrey, the amount on the check. It’s three million dollars, and Eric doesn’t feel bad. If there is no experienced producer from Jeffrey Hansen, it’s impossible to complete the “Little Ghosts”.
Jeffrey Hansen took the envelope and took a few moments, and soon he did not hesitate to hand the check to Eric.
"Well?" Eric had some doubts about Jeffrey Hansen's move.
"Eric, I thought about these days. Even if I bought the fireflies, there is no Sorina, I still can't grow the fireflies, so...so I have a request."
Eric laughed: "Jeffrey, do we need to use the word between the two? Please let me know."
"Eric, you said that you will open a film company. Can I go to your movie company to help you? You know, although I am not a director, I still have some experience as a producer."
Eric chose to raise his eyebrows in surprise. He once had this idea, and even thought about completely receiving the filming team left by Jeffrey Hansen’s wife.
However, he also felt the obsession with the firefly movie company founded by his wife with Jeffrey Hansen. After the success of "The Little Devil", Eric confident that creating a new team is no longer a piece. Difficult, so there is no idea to dig the wall.
Now, Jeffrey offered it, and Eric would not agree.
"Jeffrey, to be honest, I once thought about letting you come to my film company to help me, but I think that you will be reluctant to fire the firefly movie company, so it was not raised."
Jeffrey listened to Eric’s words and his face did not relax. Instead, he said: “Eric, in fact, this is not my main request, I hope... I hope your new film company can also name it. Called fireflies, after all, the original fireflies no longer exist. I know that this request may be excessive, but... I can... I will help you as a producer in the future, you can divide it into money, as long as you pay a salary. Ok, I hope you can think about it..."
Eric discovered that Jeffrey’s relationship with his wife’s Firefly Film Company has not faded. Instead, he wants to continue something with himself.
At the same time as this feeling was slightly moved, Eric quickly made a decision in his heart. Anyway, he was not too concerned about the name of the film company. Originally, he just thought about using the name Williams Film Company like Disney, Warner, and Fox.
Now, a name that is both good and has an emotional connotation is not bad.
"Jeffrey, no problem, the new company is called the Firefly Movie Company. In fact, I also like this name very much."
Jeffrey lifted his right hand slightly and seemed to be thinking about how to convince Eric. When he heard Eric, he said a little: "Eric, you just said... I didn't get it wrong?"
"Of course, I agree."
"That's... thank you so much, Eric, I will try to work for you, I..." Jeffrey didn't know how to express his gratitude. He could only spread his arms and hug him tightly. Hold Eric.
When Jeffrey let go of himself, Eric handed over the envelope with the check again: "Okay, Jeffrey, it’s just a name. If you come up early, I have already promised. Now, hold This, this is what you deserve."
Jeffrey also deducted, Eric directly put the envelope into Jeffrey's suit pocket: "Jeffrey, although the age difference is relatively large, but we are still good friends, isn't it? So, just about the name of the film company. Things are just requests from friends. And these are the fruits of the labor you deserve. Forget the stupid things you just said don’t break into. I hope that you can help me to create the next miracle with all my heart."
Jeffrey finally accepted the check under Eric’s persuasion. The two men discussed a few more about the establishment of the film company and Eric’s lower film, then returned to the party downstairs and announced the news of the establishment of the new Firefly Film Company. The news is jubilant.
After quietly watching the amount of the check given by Eric, the team that Jeffrey’s wife had built was uneasy. They also knew that Jeffrey wanted to redeem the fireflies, so most people continued to follow. Jeffrey swayed between the two films of the independent film, or the idea of going to Eric.
Now that both Eric and Jeffrey made the decision to make the best of both worlds, everyone was relieved and the atmosphere of the party was warmer.
......
Talking to photographer Nickel Frank, a few words, Eric just turned around with a goblet, and a girl in a red high-cut dress seemed to be smashed by something, and it was about to hit Eric.
"Stop--" Eric quickly screamed and smiled, and his left hand raised a gesture in front of him to stop the girl's move.
In front of the beautiful golden watermelon head, the girl with a sharp face stopped her movements, and some stood at less than a meter in front of Eric. The little hand holding the red wine unconsciously waved. Some wine was spilled, and the face was seen with a sly look.
"This lady, if you want to talk, just say hello to me. You can't hit it again. I have just changed two sets of clothes, and then I will hit it again. I can only appear in front of everyone with my shirt. I must have you I don't like to see this scene."
The girl, who was very embarrassed, heard Eric’s slightly ridiculous words and screamed: “Mr. Eric, it’s fun to talk.”
"That is of course, in order to attract the attention of beautiful girls, I have specially trained." Eric joked: "So, this..."
"You can call me Lucini, Mr. Eric."
"Lucini, it's a nice name, let's talk over there." Eric pointed to an open space not far away, in order to get rid of these passionate or eager girls in the party. Eric wisely chose a temporary female companion.
At the same time, my heart sighed a little, if Aniston, this little girl would not have these troubles here, I don’t know what this stubborn girl is doing in New York at this moment. According to the time difference between North and West, New York should now It is early in the morning.
