When Donald heard Eric's words, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, but he couldn't catch it, and quickly asked, "Eric, what do you mean?"

Eric said: "I mean, you should be in the wrong direction of financing. √∟ Top Novel, among the information I asked people to collect, your projects, in addition to other investors, have more than $1 billion in funds lent to you by the bank alone, and if your project is stopped and completed, the biggest loss is the bank. Therefore, you should try to persuade the bank to continue to lend to you, rather than trying in vain to bring in other investors in the current situation. ”

Donald Teplan's words almost jumped up with excitement when he heard Eric's words, and at the same time wanted to slap himself hard, in fact, he had not thought about it before, otherwise he would not have tried his best to convince the bank to agree to the high annual interest payment. However, after the bank agreed to defer the interest payment, Donald had a desire to be satisfied, and the bank's repeated refusals led Donald to change the direction of financing, because he had wasted months of his time by taking the wrong step.

"Eric, I really don't know how to thank you," Donald Teplanon gratefully patted Eric on the shoulder twice, and casually shoved the little Lori who was sitting on his lap into Eric's arms, "This is for you." ”

Eric was stunned to catch the little Lori who was stunned by her father's sudden movements, and said in his heart that this is too precious, and she has to coax and raise, so she can only look at it...... Uh, okay.

But Donald Teplan then said, "I'm sorry, Eric, I have to go back to the office and gather people to discuss this matter immediately." I've wasted four months of my time. Oh, my God. I can't afford to waste a moment, so can you bring Ivanka to her mom for me?"

Eric nodded hurriedly.

Donald saw Eric nodding his head and turned away without looking back. After a few moments, only Eric and Lori in her arms were left in the empty hall.

Looking at the sliding door that stopped after shaking a few times, Eric withdrew his gaze, reached out and gently pinched Ivanka's face, jokingly, "Ini." Did you hear that, your dad gave you to me, come back to Los Angeles with me. ”

Eric's action of pinching his face suddenly woke up little Lori, clenched his little fist and auditioned a few hammers on Eric's body, and said angrily: "Ah, it's so hateful, I said that you are not allowed to pinch people's faces." After the little Lori finished speaking, she broke free from Eric's arms and sat on the side, but she still glared at Eric angrily.

The little man's fist didn't have any strength at all, and Eric still grinned and said, "Okay." Ini, let's go. Go find your mom. ”

Ivanka subconsciously wanted to nod, but immediately remembered something and said, "That, Eric, I still have something to discuss with you." ”

Eric became interested again and asked, "Shall I hear it?"

"I've recently started learning acting, and I've joined the school's drama club, and they all say I'm making a lot of progress. As if remembering something proud, little Lori's face flushed, and she continued: "Eric, Dad always says that you are a very good director, how about letting me act in your movie?"

"Oh, it's not easy," Eric said in a long voice, "but a lot of people are vying to play my movie, and you won't even let me pinch my face, why should I promise you?"

Of course, little Lori couldn't hear that Eric was joking, and glared at Eric angrily with wide eyes for a few seconds, seeing that Eric didn't let go at all, she hesitated for a while, and then as if she had made up her mind, she closed her big eyes, leaned her face towards Eric, and whispered in a tone that looked at death as if she were at home: "That, only pinch it, don't use force." ”

Eric looked at Ivanka's red face, a sense of guilt came out of his heart, he raised his hand and immediately put it down, surrendering: "Okay, don't pinch it, I promise you." ”

Hearing that she didn't have to endure the 'torture', Ivanka didn't mean to be polite to Eric at all, flashed to the side, and said coquettishly: "You just promised, don't go back." ”

"Of course," Eric nodded, "But, Ini, if you want to act in a movie, you still need your parents' consent." ”

Ivanka immediately gave Eric a roll of his eyes: "You're so stupid, if they don't agree, how can they send me to an acting class." ”

Eric thinks about it, it seems that this is indeed the case, in his previous life, Donald Teprang did not even object to his daughter running away as a model at the age of 16, let alone being an actor, the modeling circle is much more chaotic than Hollywood.

However, before he succeeded, he immediately started to ridicule, this poisonous little Lori is too much!

Eric snorted twice, and was about to find an excuse to hit the little girl, when the door to the screening hall was suddenly pushed open, and a man in the uniform of a movie theater staff ran in a hurry, and when he saw Eric, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Williams, you are really here, the premiere starts in two minutes, and everyone is waiting for you." ”

"Oh, I'll be right here," Eric said to the staff, and he didn't have time to fight Lori anymore, and stood up and said, "Let's go, Ini, let's go to the movies." ”

Ivanka nodded, jumped off the couch, and obediently grabbed Eric by the hand and followed him towards the screening room.

……

The McAllister family is leaving for Christmas again, and this time, Kevin, although he is not left behind, stumbles on a flight to New York. At the same time, two stupid thieves, Harry and Marvin, also escaped prison and arrived in New York, where they stopped stealing homes and set their sights on Toy City, which seemed to be easier to rob successfully. After staying at the Plaza Hotel, Kevin wanders out and gets lost, and meets two stupid thieves again at Duncan's Toy City, and a laughable story begins again.

To be honest, although the plot of "Home Alone 2 Lost in Tokyo" is much richer, adding some side lines such as the strange pigeon breeder in Central Park and the greedy waiter at the Plaza Hotel, there is not much innovation in the plot. But this sequel is not without any changes, compared to the first completely child-oriented movie, this sequel has added some adult elements in it, such as the opening scene, Kevin quoted the obscure adult joke that his uncle told him, as well as the two conflicts between the stupid thief and the modern girl, and many laughing lines of the young stupid thief Marvin, which are all humorous scenes set up for adults.

Regardless, after the screening, Eric received warm applause and congratulations from many people.

After attending the reception after the premiere, Eric drove Aniston in the car, but the destination was Manhattan's Teplan's family apartment, at this time the mother and daughter sat in the back seat together, because Donald Teplan left in a hurry, and even the car was taken away, it is estimated that Donald Teplan, who is now preoccupied with studying how to make the bank continue to pay money, will not think of sending a car to pick up his wife and daughter, Eric had to personally send the mother and daughter back.

"I'm sorry for the trouble, Mr. Williams," said the car to Teplan's house, and Eric and Aniston only went in for a while before taking their leave, and Ivana Teplano herself sent them out.

"It's nothing, Madame Teprang, and if nothing else, we'll go back. ”

Ivana Teprang was about to nod, but Ivanka, who had been standing next to her, immediately pulled her mother's corner: "Mom, movie, movie." ”

"Oh, this ......" Ivana Teprang looked at Eric in embarrassment, a little troubled by her little daughter's behavior.

Eric looked at little Lori with an expectant look on her face and said, "Madame Teplan, if you and Donald agree, I will have a movie that needs young actors in the future, and I will ask Innie to try it." ”

"Thank you so much, Mr. Williams. Ivana said that she was a model, and like many models, the actor industry is born with a certain yearning, and Donald Teplan's desire for expression is even stronger, and if possible, neither of them will object to Ivanka's appearance in the Eric movie.

Because Aniston was in a hurry to get back to Los Angeles to shoot the last few episodes of the first season of "Friends", and Eric had a lot to do, the two of them left New York in a hurry the next day and returned to Los Angeles.

After the premiere, on November 17th, "Home Alone 2 Lost in New York" was officially released, this time, because of the strangulation of many movies on the Thanksgiving schedule, even if Fox went all out to hype and promote, the reputation of "Home Alone 2" was not as good as "Island Horror" released at the beginning of the month. The media reviews of the film presented a very clear C-shaped polarization, with many applauding the sequel and many denouncing the uselessness.

The New York Post wrote an article for "Home Alone 2": "Too many sequels have been subjected to déjà vu criticism, just because fans love it so much, because they have too high expectations, so they will cough up even more." But Home Alone 2 is fully worthy of the year's wait for fans, and although some say that it is a replica without any improvements, the plot of this sequel is much fuller and more interesting than the first one. As for saying that it is a 'replica', this is unavoidable, and if it weren't for Kevin's two stupid thieves, would Home Alone still be Home Alone?"

However, a group of newspapers represented by "Hollywood Online" criticized fiercely: "Home Alone 2" is a sequel film made by Williams without sincerity, the plot is repetitive a lot, the plot is inexplicable and illogical, and what is even more unbearable is that this movie for children aged 6-12 is full of adult jokes that people can't bear to look at, I think this is definitely a huge mistake by the Film Classification Committee, "Home Alone 2" At the very least, it should also be divided into PG-13 levels, and not PG levels.
