Giselle and Alexander are confused, and their knowledge of Eric is limited to what they have heard since he came to the United States, and it is impossible to know certain things.
Miranda's eyes lit up after a moment of doubt, and she glanced at the two girls opposite her proudly, and asked Eric, "Is there a reward for guessing correctly?" ”
Eric laughed, "You guessed it right first." ”
Miranda blurted out: "It's the 'little girl holding the puppet', right?" You've had that girl in your previous movies, and she's like, Ivanka, and she's the same age as us now. ”
Eric snapped his fingers lightly, "Bingo!" ”
"Well, what about the rewards."
Eric playfully said, "I didn't say yes just now." ”
Miranda immediately put her arms around Eric and shook it coquettishly.
"Okay, okay," Eric quickly surrendered, "what do you want?" ”
Miranda rolled her eyes and said, "It's my birthday on the 20th of next month, can you accompany me for my birthday?" ”
Eric shook his head regretfully and said, "At that time, I should be in Europe, so I can only ask someone to send you a birthday gift, do you have any birthday wishes, tell me?" ”
"As long as you give it to me, I like it," Miranda said, her expression still a little lost: "Actually, I just want you to spend my birthday with me." ”
"Next time, I really don't have time this time."
Giselle and Alexander listen with some envy to Eric's interaction with Miranda, as two small-town girls from Brazil, they have not seen a few movies since they were young, and they don't know what the so-called "little girl with a puppet" is.
I was thinking about going back and looking for all of Eric's movies to watch, and when I heard the two talking about their birthdays, Alexander hesitated, and whispered with some anticipation: "Eric, my birthday is also next month, the 11th." ”
"No problem, I'll buy you a gift then," Eric said, looking at Giselle.
Giselle smiled and shook her head, her birthday is July 14th, a little regretful, but also a little hopeful, hoping that the time will be just in time for the filming.
Miranda was a little depressed by Alexander's sudden interruption, rolled her eyes, and joked: "Eric, if you know enough girls, will you have to spend your birthday with someone every day?" ”
"Well, what you said sounds a little scary."
"Huh."
After dinner, it was just eight o'clock in the evening, and when she heard that Eric was going to send her back, Miranda immediately became coquettish, haggled for a while, and the four decided to go to the movies together.
Next week is Easter, and "Red Zone" happens to be released today, and Eric chose this movie to see how the film will be received in North America.
In order to build momentum for "Rush Hour" at the end of the year, and make Jack's humorous kung fu famous in North America in advance, Eric spared no effort in investing in "Red Fan Zone", in addition to the $5 million buyout fee that broke the record of Hong Kong films, the new line also invested no less than $5 million in publicity and distribution budget, all the costs added up to more than the film's $7.5 million production cost, and the film's opening screen size also reached 2,000, which can be said to be the first Hong Kong film to be released on such a large scale in North America.
Prior to this, except for Bruce Lee's kung fu films, most Hong Kong films in North America were only able to get a box office of one million, and very few reached tens of millions of dollars. Although "Red Fan Zone" has achieved very bright results in Asia, for a cumulative investment of more than 10 million US dollars, the new line is still ready to lose money, fortunately, the management is full of confidence in the future "Rush Hour", and the possible loss of "Red Fan Zone" is within the range of tolerance.
Eric takes the three girls to a nearby theater where "Red Fan Zone" is shown, and walks into the movie hall with a bunch of snacks. Although the film is rated R, the hot and tall Giselle and Alexander are not hindered at all when they buy tickets, and Miranda's baby face is more conspicuous, but she is accompanied by Eric, and there is no obstacle when entering the screening room.
Finding a seat in the back row, the three girls sat down around Eric. Eric looked around, this is a medium-sized screening hall with a capacity of about 100 people, at this time there are still more than ten minutes before the movie starts, advertisements are playing on the screen, and there are more than 20 people sitting around it, until the movie starts, five or six people walk in one after another, and the attendance rate barely reaches 30%.
If it is a blockbuster such as "Jurassic Park", the attendance rate of 30% on the first day can definitely only be described as hitting the street. However, for a Hong Kong film that is not popular in North America, the attendance rate has reached 30%, which is already overjoyed.
Miranda was not at all interested in Eric's selection of the film, but Da was very satisfied with the somewhat empty environment in the screening room, so that even if she made a little gesture of a gray man, it would not be noticed.
Although Giselle and Alexander are taller than her and seem to have a better figure than her, Miranda still looks down on these two little Brazilian girls who can't even speak English, so how can they have the strength to compete with themselves.
The lights in the screening room dimmed, and the girl in the dim light immediately began to get restless.
Eric looked at the screen intently, casually took a few mouthfuls of creamy popcorn handed over by the girl, and soon felt that Milanda had rubbed into his arms from the next seat, he had seen the unscrupulousness of this little goblin that night, and he was not surprised, just reached out and put his arm around the girl's waist, not letting her move, and warned with a smile: "It's not good to watch a movie, I won't bring you over next time." ”
Miranda leaned softly against Eric, leaned her head to his ear, and whispered, "Eric, your hands are so tight that I can't breathe." ”
"It's okay, if you faint, I'll help you with artificial respiration."
Miranda was still whispering hot air in Eric's ear: "Let's do it now, well, I'm dizzy." ”
"Don't make a fuss, watch a movie."
"Really, people are so proactive."
Giselle and Alexander didn't have much to think about the movie, and at this time, the two girls stared at Miranda who was obsessed in Eric's arms with wide eyes, and a thought came to their hearts at the same time: Can it still be like this?
Under Eric's 'suppression', Miranda quickly quieted down, and several people's minds turned to the movie again.
"Red Fan Zone" is definitely a work of conscience, with a cost of $7.5 million, which can only be regarded as a low-budget film for Hollywood films. But there is no shortage of hot scenes in the movie such as car chases, shootouts, and even house collapses, although many of the sets look a little rough, but if the same production level is filmed by the Hollywood team, the cost will definitely skyrocket to more than 30 million.
Gisele and Alexander were a little reserved when they watched the movie, but Miranda had no scruples, turned her mind to the movie, and was quickly attracted to the plot.
"Wow, that's a lot of kung fu."
"Ah, it must have hurt to fall like this."
"Hahaha, it's so funny that you can do this, and plunge your head into the car."
"Wow, can the hovercraft run on the road, could it be a car down there?"
“……”
Although there were only about 30 people in the screening room, the voices of the girls criticizing the film did not attract much attention, because most of them were amazed or laughing along with the plot of the movie, and the audience gradually forgot that this was a non-Hollywood film in various exciting and hilarious plots.
After the film was shown, Eric patiently waited for the audience to leave almost before putting on the sunglasses hanging on the neckline and patting Miranda who was still tired of his arms: "Okay, let's go." ”
"Hmm," Miranda snorted, turning her head to his ear, "Eric, shall I go to your place tonight?" ”
"That's not going to work, you still have to go to school," Eric casually made a reason.
Miranda pursed the corners of her lips: "You forgot, tomorrow is the weekend." ”
"Didn't you live well at John's house?" Eric pulled the girl up and got up with him, saying as he walked out.
Coming to the aisle, Miranda grabbed Eric by the hand and continued: "Of course it's good, you arranged it, how could they treat me badly, it's just that I want to go to your place for the weekend." And, don't worry, they won't tell my mom and dad about it. ”
Eric wouldn't follow this little goblin's wishes and add some potential trouble to himself, so he shook his head resolutely and said, "In that case, then go back obediently, you are still young, and you don't know what you are doing." ”
Miranda was very disappointed and said, "I know. ”
"Knowingly, it's even worse."
Miranda pulled Eric and shook his arm, "Eric, you're so annoying, you're still a coward." ”
Despite some reluctance, Eric then asked the driver to turn around and go to Miranda's boarding place first, and watched the girl enter the door before telling the driver to drive.
Seeing Miranda leave, Giselle and Alexander, who had been somewhat quiet, were relieved. Seriously, the leprechaun was by Eric's side, and they found it difficult to get much attention from Eric.
However, remembering the last time in New York, Eric sent them back, Giselle and Alexander quickly became a little worried about whether Eric would send them back to the hotel like last time, so that the next time they met, I don't know when it will be.
As the car drove out of Miranda's residential area, Eric asked Giselle, who was beside him, "Do you have classes on the weekends, I mean, the acting class?" ”
Giselle realized something and shook his head with some delight: "No. ”
"Then go to my place for the weekend, I happen to be alone for the past two days, it's boring."
"Okay," Giselle nodded without hesitation, and looked at Alexander on the other side, remembering the last time he received the criticism from the psychic medium in New York, his face couldn't help but be a little hot, but he couldn't resist in the bottom of his heart.
