Hearing Laura Pena's question, Aniston glanced at Eric beside her, and saw her boyfriend blinking her eyes twice as if nothing happened, before she approached the microphone and said: "I have watched the test screening of "Home Alone 2", this movie is even better than the first one, Xiao Stub Xiàn is still very good, Matthew is still so decrepit, and there are other actors, their performances are also very good. So I think the film should be able to reach at least $200 million at the box office. ”

"Wow, two hundred million dollars, a surprising number, and hopefully Miss Aniston's words will bring good luck to this film. Laura Pena didn't mean anything to compare with last year's first Home Alone, and then asked, "By the way, Miss Aniston, I heard that Mr. Matthew Perry, who plays the young stupid thief Marvin, is your former classmate, right?"

Aniston nodded: "Yes, when Eric selected the actor last year, he didn't find Marven's candidate for a long time, so I recommended Matthew to him, just a simple audition, Eric decided to let Matthew play the role, and later it turned out that Eric's choice was right." ”

"I can't imagine such an anecdote," said Laura Pena, with a hint of amusement and annoyance, "then, Miss Aniston, aren't you afraid that you will be jealous of Mr. Matthew Perry when you introduce him to Mr. Williams?"

When Aniston heard this question, her eyes widened, and she tightened her arm holding Eric's arm, and said, "How is it possible, if Eric had tasted, he would not have chosen Matthew as Marven's actor." ”

After a short interview, the two men walked across the red carpet. Ichitong entered the cinema.

Greeted everyone who had already entered the theater. Eric leaned into Aniston's ear and suddenly said, "Jenny." Actually, I'm very apprehensive in my heart, and you have to consider compensating me tonight. ”

Aniston gave Eric a hard look: "You did so many messy things, I was almost by you, and I didn't see you compensate me." ”

"How about I make up you two more times tonight?" said Eric, smirking evilly, and reached out to put his arm around Aniston's waist and squeezed it through the gown on a sensitive little flesh somewhere.

A tingling sensation came from her waist, and Aniston's entire body went limp. Pushing Eric away with force, his face slightly red and disgusted: "You animal, you know all day thinking about these things, I ignore you." ”

After the little girl finished speaking, she really ran away from Eric, not only deliberately walked towards Matthew Perry, but also hugged Matthew Perry warmly.

Eric shrugged helplessly, and was about to follow the chick over when Donald Teplan, who had been involved in the cameo, walked up with a smile on his face and greeted Eric from a distance. Donald was followed by a blonde woman who looked to be no more than thirty years old, holding a little girl in her hands. It's none other than little Lori Ivanka.

"Hey, Eric, long time no see," Donald Teplano said, walking over and hugging Eric warmly, "Eric, this is my wife, Ivana." Ivana, this is Eric Williams. ”

Eric politely shook hands with Ivana Teplan.

At this time, a crisp loli voice spoke: "Eric, do you remember me?"

"Of course, Ini," Eric smiled and reached over, wanting to pinch Ivanka's pink face, but was strongly protested by Lori: "Hey, Eric, don't pinch a girl's face casually." ”

Eric crouched down in front of the little girl and asked with interest, "Why can't you pinch it?" ”

Ivanka tilted her little head and thought about it, but didn't find a suitable reason, and then said with wide eyes and menacing: "Anyway, you just can't pinch it." ”

Eric was about to continue teasing little Lori, but Aniston had already walked back, and when she saw Little Lori Ivanka Teplan, she immediately exclaimed with joy: "Wow, what a beautiful little girl, like a doll." After saying that, without waiting for Ivanka to react, Aniston reached out and pinched the little girl's face.

"Ahhh

In the frenzied struggle of little Lori, several people laughed along, and Aniston saw that this strange little girl reacted so violently, so she quickly let go of her hand and apologized to Ivanka's mother: "I'm sorry, am I ...... What are you doing wrong?"

"It's nothing, Miss Aniston, Innie is usually very well-behaved, but a little resistant to people who don't know it. Ivana smiled and explained that "Friends" is now a household name, and it doesn't need any introduction, Ivana also knows Aniston.

Aniston still nodded apologetically and looked at Eric, who hurriedly introduced her, and then the four of them ignored the puffing little Lori and chatted with each other.

"Eric, what you said at the premiere of "Island Cry" at the beginning of the month is really domineering, I heard that the box office of this movie has exceeded 50 million, and the cost is only 5 million, right?"

"Yes, although the production cost is only five million, but the distribution cost is higher. ”

Donald Teplan knew a little bit about the film's release, saying, "Even so, Firefly is going to make a lot of money, Eric, how much do you think the film will gross?"

Anyway, there are many analyses in these newspapers, and Eric didn't feel the need for any secrecy, and replied: "It is conservatively estimated that there can be 150 million US dollars in North America, and 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 higher." ”

Hearing Eric say this, Donald Teplan's heart is even more eager, according to what Eric said, this small-budget movie with a cost of only five million is estimated to bring seven or eighty million profits to Firefly, not counting the later videotapes and other peripherals, and the upcoming "Home Alone 2" will definitely bring more profits. Not to mention the other upcoming movies of Firefly, with these two films alone, Eric will be able to earn at least 200 million, and these are all cash, Donald is going crazy to want cash now.

Of course, it was impossible for Eric not to notice the change in Donald Teplan's eyes, and sighed inwardly, although they had not been together for a long time, he had a good impression of the real estate tycoon. However, he is a very mature man after all, and it is impossible to help because of personal affection, and Eric believes that even Donald Teplan's best friend, who may give him some help within his ability, will not invest a large amount of money in a real estate project that may collapse at any time at this time.

In order not to let Donald Teplan have hot fantasies, Eric thought it would be better to make it clear.

At this time, the staff informed the premiere guests that they could enter the screening hall.

"Janie, will you go to the screening room with Madame Teplano first, and I'll have a few words with Donald. Eric said a few words to Aniston, and did not shy away from the Tepros.

Donald nodded at his wife, and Ivana was about to take little Lori and Aniston to leave, but Ivanka broke away from her mother's hand, and said in a serious manner: "Mom, you go first, I have something to discuss with Eric." ”

Ivana keenly sensed that her husband and Eric had something to talk about, so she pulled her daughter and said, "Ini, don't make trouble, go with Mom, let's go see Kevin." ”

"I'm not interested in that little kid," Ivanka suddenly broke free of her mother's hand and grabbed her father's leg like a little koala, letting her mother pull at her.

Eventually, Eric spoke, "Lady Teplan, let Ini stay here, I don't have anything important." ”

Perhaps realizing something, Donald Teplann picked up his daughter and nodded to his wife.

When the people in the lounge were almost gone, Eric sat down on a sofa with Donald, and little Lori didn't rush to speak, blinking her big beautiful eyes and sweeping between her father and Eric.

Eric organized his words for a moment before he spoke, "Donald, I've read some of your company's materials. ”

Donald Teplano smiled slightly awkwardly and laughed at himself, "It's a mess, isn't it?"

Eric shook his head honestly: "Of course not, according to the normal schedule, the few projects you are working on will be completed in the next year. Although the real estate industry is sluggish now, as long as those projects are completed instead of unfinished, I believe that with your ability, you will definitely be able to achieve profitability. Eric added, "It's not a compliment, I've seen your profile, in the late '60s, when you were still in college, you ran an apartment project in Cincinnati, Ohio, and made $1 million a year, as well as the Hyatt Regency on 42nd Avenue in Manhattan and the ice rink in Central Park. ”

Donald Teplan's face was a little smug when he heard Eric mention some of his more proud pasts, but he quickly thought of his current situation and couldn't help but sigh.

Without waiting for Donald Teplano to speak, Eric continued: "But, Donald, just as you need money to grow your business, I also need a lot of money to expand my studio, and even if I have extra money, it won't help you for the needs of your few real estate projects. ”

Donald Teplan, knowing that Eric was telling the truth, nodded freely and smiled, "I see." ”

The two of them were silent for a moment, and Eric suddenly asked again, "Donald, you must have been trying to find a way to raise funds all this time, right?"

"Well, the bank group that lent me money refused to provide me with any more funds, so I had to find a way to raise money from other places, and I had already contacted all the investors I could contact during this time, and I was introduced by a friend 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, and the price they offer is not enough to pay off the debt, so of course I will not agree. ”

Eric thought for a moment and said, "Donald, maybe you were trying in the wrong direction in the first place. (To be continued......)
