Hearing that Eric really planned to shoot the 007 movie, Joanna said: "The filming of the 007 series must be filmed all over the world, do you have so much time to run around?"

"If you want to do it, you can always arrange it," Eric said, adding that in recent years, with the development of the Internet and digital communication technology, remote communication has become more and more convenient, and it is easy to stay connected to Los Angeles from anywhere in the world, so you can stay in touch with headquarters at any time when you are away from home.

What's more, the Firefly Group is now fully on track, and there are no big expansion plans in recent years, and Eric's departure will not have much impact on the group's operations.

With a thought in his mind, Eric tossed the script aside and lay down lazily on the lawn, enjoying the warm eyes of the afternoon.

Anyway, the heroine, the shooting plan, these will have to wait until at least next year, and there is no need to worry about these now.

MGM's current big-budget film is "Breaking Bad 2", which will be released next summer.

Then there is "Mission Impossible 2", which has just been negotiated with Kevin Costner, which will also be filmed early next year and released at the end of next year. In this way, the filming time of "007: Casino Royale" will probably start in the middle of next year, at the same time as "Wonderful Night at the Museum 2", and the release time is the same as the summer of 1997. Then, the specific preparations for such a project will need to wait at least until the beginning of next year.

As for the Lord of the Rings series, it was not until 1997 that production began, after all, MGM was only now stabilizing. It will take another year or two to accumulate. was able to announce a one-time investment of $300 million in the production of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. MGM will issue new shares soon. If the launch of the project is announced shortly after the financing, it will certainly cause anxiety in the capital market and cause turmoil in MGM's share price. What MGM needs most now is a stable environment, and although Eric is well aware of the potential of the Lord of the Rings series, it is impossible for others to know this, and they will only see the huge risks that come with a one-time investment of $300 million.

When Joanna saw Eric lying down, she thoughtfully took a pillow from the side and stuffed it under his head, staring at her little man softly. Slender fingers stroked Eric's brow, as if trying to smooth out Eric's frown as he was thinking about things: "Sleep for a while, you're always thinking about things, you're going to be tired." ”

Eric smiled and hugged the woman over and said, "Come, come with me." ”

Joanna struggled slightly, leaned against Eric's side, felt Eric's big hand slide down her waist, lifted her T-shirt and was about to drill in, smiled and reached out to hit him: "Don't make trouble." will be seen. ”

Eric scratched his fingers at Joanna's soft waist and said, "Why don't we go to the beach in front." ”

"Huh. Don't," Joanna chuckled and twisted her body, holding Eric's strange hand, "Emma is almost out of school, I'm going to pick her up later." ”

"Let the maid go. ”

"I don't feel at ease when they go, and I don't have anything to do anyway. ”

Eric smiled, took Joanna to his chest, smelled the faint fragrance of the woman's blonde hair, and said, "The three little ones are really lucky to have you to take care of them." ”

Joanna said, "I like them too." ”

"Have they been naughty during this time, I, as a father, can help you teach you a lesson. ”

"Hehe, of course not, it's all very well-behaved. ”

"Really," Eric said in a deliberately skeptical tone, "I've heard about Xia Xia, Vicky told me about it last time I called." ”

"Don't mention it, it's too embarrassing. Xia Xia didn't know how to get the password for HBO, and as soon as I came out of the shower that night, Xia Xia pointed to the men and women on the TV and asked me: Mom, what are they doing when they are naked and hugging each other, I don't know how to answer. ”

"Hahaha......" Eric couldn't help but laugh again, and only asked after a moment, "And then?"

"I finally coaxed it over, and later I found out that it was when Eva was watching TV, Xia Xia saw her enter the password on the side, and she remembered it just once," Joanna smiled on her face, and continued: "Xia Xia is not naughty, she is just too curious and too smart." ”

"In that case, in some time, you may be able to hire a governess for her, or you may be able to teach her yourself. ”

"I've been teaching her Polish lately, and she's learning it very quickly," says Joanna.

Eric nodded and said, "That's not bad. ”

Leaning together and chatting for a while, Joanna looked at her watch, got up and said, "It's almost time, I'm going to pick up Emma." ”

"Hmm," Eric nodded, kissing Joanna as she approached, squinting her eyes as she watched the woman leave, enjoying the last of the warmth of the approaching evening sun.

Joanna returned to the villa and explained a few words of dinner to the maid, but asked without Hawaii or Kevin.

"Madam, Miss Eva is here, she didn't let us tell you and Mr. Williams, and now she is taking Miss and Master to watch a movie in the screening room. ”

Joanna nodded, went to the private screening room of the villa, pushed open the door, and saw that in the dim light, her sister and two little ones were sitting in the luxurious leather chair inside, but "Men in Black" was playing on the screen.

Seeing the door of the screening room being pushed open, Eva Pakula quickly lowered the volume and greeted: "Hi, sister." ”

Joanna turned on the light and looked at the two little dots sitting next to Eva, and then turned to her sister: "Isn't it fashion week recently, don't you have a job?"

Eva hugged Kevin Rag Doll beside her in her arms, and said pitifully: "Don't use this disgusting tone to talk to your sister, I've been playing three shows in a row in the last two days, and I'm almost exhausted." ”

Although Eva was a little cautious about Eric at the beginning, after such a long time, these thoughts have long faded.

Joanna also knew that this big sister now simply liked the affluent life in the East Hampton Manor. For this younger sister who is 14 years younger than herself, Joanna completely holds a kind of eldest sister like a mother mentality, both doting and hoping that she can do it alone.

See Eva's pretending to be pitiful. Joanna was a little helpless. But my heart softened. Leaning against the door, he asked, "How are you getting along with the boy Emily introduced to you?"

"That guy, they broke up a long time ago, he actually has a problem with alcoholism, who knows if he will hit people when he is drunk, I heard that American men have this problem. You don't want your sister to be drunk and abused in the future. ”

"Okay, okay, I'm too lazy to care about you. Joanna sighed, glanced at the big screen, and said, "Don't bring Xia Xia and Kevin movies in the future, I'm going to pick up Emma, since I'm here, don't forget to wait and say hello to Eric." ”

"I know, I know," Eva saw that her sister finally let her go, and quickly nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and stretched out her finger to point at Hawaii beside her: "Xia Xia, say goodbye to my mother." ”

"Goodbye, Mom. Hawaii said with his eyes fixed on the screen and without turning his head.

Joanna left helplessly. Eva saw the door shut. With a cheer, he changed his comfortable position and leaned lazily back in his leather chair.

After a while, a small voice sounded beside him: "Aunt Eva, why are the cockroaches in the movie so big?"

"Because it's an alien cockroach. ”

"What is an alien cockroach?"

"It's a cockroach from an alien planet. ”

"Where are the aliens?"

"Well, it's annoying, there are so many problems, so I'll just buy you an encyclopedia. ”

"What is an encyclopedia?"

"It's a kind of book that answers all the questions you want to know. ”

Hawaii's eyes suddenly became shining: "Aunt Eva, then, can you buy me an encyclopedia?"

"An encyclopedia is not a book, but a whole set, so expensive things, let your father buy it for you, he has the money. ”

Hawaii blinked his big beautiful eyes, took this incident to heart, and asked, "Then, Aunt Eva, and so is Daddy...... Alien people?"

"Huh?" Eva Pakula was stunned, then thought of Eric's cameo in the movie, laughed a few times, reached out and pinched Hawaii's face, and said mysteriously: "Yes, your father is an alien, and you are also a little alien, haha." ”

At this time, the movie screening on the screen ended, Eva got up and turned on the lights, turned off the equipment, hugged the stupid little Kevin, and walked out with Hawaii in his hand.

The three of them came to the lawn in the backyard and saw Eric lying there sleeping, Eva touched Hawaii's head and said with a wicked smile: "Xiaxia, go and ask your father to see which planet he is from." ”

Hawaii looked at Eric lying on the lawn, then turned his head to look at Eva Pakula, hmph, when I'm as stupid as Kevin, Dad is sleeping, he must be angry when he was woken up, he blinked, Hawaii said, "Aunt Eva, Mom just said to let you say hello to Daddy." ”

"All right, little goblin," Eva Pakula rubbed her Hawaiian brain melon, remembering that there was still a little man in her hand, and hurriedly put Kevin down, squatted down and said to him, "Kevin, go and tell your dad to get up, and say it's time to eat." ”

Kevin blinked as well, nodded awkwardly, and walked over to Eric.

The two girls with black potential stood in place, watching Kevin walk next to Eric, looking forward to the next good show, but saw Kevin come to Eric's side, as if he had completely forgotten Eva's instructions, sat on the ground, picked up the script that Eric had just thrown aside, and looked at it decently, without disturbing his father's sleep at all.

Eva's eyes widened, and she was surprised in her heart, could this be the real black belly that is hidden deeply.

Eric felt something strange next to him in his sleep, and when he opened his eyes, he just saw Eva sitting on his side, looking at his baby son who was reading the script on the other side with an expression like a prodigy.

"You, what's going on, is your eyes drifting to the wrong person?" Eric asked, sitting up, picking up his son and kissing him, and then hugging Hawaii over.

Eva shook her head, her eyes were still nostalgic for Kevin for a moment, and then she said, "Tsk, Kevin is definitely not easy when he grows up, and he is more suitable for being the president of the United States." ”

"Heh, what nonsense," Eric shook his head and said, "What about you, it's not ...... fashion week lately"

"yes, isn't it fashion week recently, why didn't I go to work," Eva pouted and took Eric's words directly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Please, don't be as good as my sister, I've just been interrogated." “

Unclear about the situation, Eric shrugged innocently, "Okay. ”

With that, Eric got up, walked towards the villa with the two little babies in his arms, and said to Eva behind him, "Let the maid come and clean up here." ”

"I see, sir. Eva dragged her throat.

Eric walked into the living room with Kevin and Hawaii in his arms, came to the sofa and sat down, the little girl obediently leaned next to her father, looked Eric up and down with big eyes, and asked after a while, "Dad, where is the planet Pandora, are you really from that planet?"

Eric was stunned for a moment, then remembered, pinched his daughter's face, and said with a smile: "Baby, why did you suddenly ask this?"

Hawaii raised his face, glanced at Eric's head, and said, "I was just in ...... I've seen you in the movie, and Aunt Eva took me to see it. ”

"Well, Daddy isn't a Pandora, it's just a movie," Eric replied.

"So, Dad, can you buy me an encyclopedia?"

"What do you want this for?"

Aunt Eva said that all the questions could be found in the encyclopedia. ”

Eric touched his chin, looked the little man in front of him up and down, and smiled, "Baby, do you know how old you are now?"

"Two years and five months. "Hawaii has a very clear mind.

"yes," Eric laughed, "two years and five months, so you'd better do what a two-year-old kid should do now, just like Kevin, play with toys, eat, and sleep." “

Hawaii looked at his brother and shook his head: "But, these things are so boring." ”

"But this is the life that a child of your age should live, and when he grows up, even if he wants to go back to the present, it will be impossible. ”

Hawaii didn't understand why he wanted to go back to the present, but he nodded obediently, and then stared at his dad with a cute look on his face that he learned from Emma: "Dad, can you buy me an encyclopedia?"

Eric slapped his head, well, it was a bit of a no-brainer.

However, listening to his daughter repeat the encyclopedia several times, Eric suddenly remembered that Yahoo does not have an encyclopedia section now, and this business is definitely a big traffic, maybe you can send an email to the Yahoo team in the evening to mention it.

After thinking about it for a moment, seeing that his baby daughter was still looking at him with a hopeful face, Eric had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll have someone send a set over tomorrow." ”

"Thank you, Daddy," Hawaii said, leaning over Eric on the cheek and kissing him, staring at Eric for a few seconds to make sure his father wasn't perfunctory, before jumping off the couch and running away.

Uh, this ...... Throw it away when you run out, isn't it too obvious?

Eric thought desolate as he looked at his daughter's small figure running away.
