"Eric, this is amazing. In the co-pilot, Drew fiddled with the T-shirt dress he wore with some surprise.

Because of last night's vomiting, Drew's clothes were already dirty, and the two of them were in a hurry to go to the crew, so Eric had an idea and remembered the way his wife in his previous life changed his wide men's T-shirt into a skirt, but fortunately it was not difficult.

So with the current outfit on Drew's body, a dress converted from a sky blue T-shirt, and a three-finger-wide brown belt tied around Eric's waist, this outfit looks very novel and avant-garde in this era, so when the crew just got off, many people couldn't help but look at Drew.

Of course, there was something meaningful in his eyes, because Drew was here with Eric.

"Hey, Eric, you're so quick to be empathetic, and I thought you would be a good man, looking at how gentle and considerate you were to Anne the other day?"

"Penny, what I like is still Annie, and as for Drew, it's just a coincidence. ”

Penny Marshall quipped, "Is it a coincidence that she's wearing clothes?" Well, Eric, I'm too lazy to bother with you young people, but you have to be careful, Drew is only thirteen after all, well, you know. ”

"Thank you for the reminder, Penny. Seeing that Penny Marshall had already decided on the matter, Eric could only reluctantly say a word to end the topic.

In the following month, nothing special happened, and the filming was still going on quickly and orderly, and Drew went from seducing Eric to chasing after Chiguoguo. When Aniston appeared on the crew, she also found out about it lightly.

So when the two girls appeared on the crew at the same time, the open and secret battles around Eric became the spice for all the crew members in the tense filming process. All the gay men were very envious of Eric, and even the young man who played the bad boy Stan, and even found an opportunity to ask Eric about his pickling methods, and Eric also talked nonsense with him with great interest, and the kid was stunned for a moment.

But soon something happened that made Eric cry and laugh, and other young people in the crew began to spread his nonsense about the cheats of picking up girls, and even accidentally reached Drew's ears, the little girl was tired of Eric between the shooting, half teasing and half complaining: "It turns out that you got me like that, you big bastard who plays with girls, what's even more hateful is that you don't want to be responsible for getting someone's heart, you thief, give me back my heart!"

Aniston's crude diet and weight loss program was still ongoing, but after suffering so much, the effect was not very obvious, and the girl lost less than five pounds in a month. Eric was even more worried about this, and he wanted to wait until the end of the shoot.

Things are always full of accidents, and finally during a shoot, Aniston fainted directly due to low blood sugar from hunger, and Eric accompanied the hanging bottle that had been hanging all night. The next day, Eric just didn't have a scene, so he took Aniston to the fitness consultant introduced by Susan Sarandon.

It was a high-end fitness club, and the main service object was Hollywood actresses, and when the two of them went in, they also met Sigourney Weaver, the world-famous heroine of the series, who just walked out of the club. One of the goddesses of the previous life, in Aniston's somewhat snack gaze, Eric stepped forward to ask for an autograph.

The fitness consultant was a Russian woman with no age at all, and her name was very long, just for Eric to call her Natasha. At the first sight of Natasha, Eric noticed Aniston's deep envy for Natasha's devilish figure, so he could only gently shake Aniston's little hand and comfort her in her ear: "Don't worry, baby, one day, your figure will be better than hers." ”

After Natasha did some understanding of Aniston, she patiently explained the great danger of Aniston's way of losing weight some time ago, and then took her to do some tests, and spent a whole morning doing a weight loss plan for Aniston that was more than ten pages long.

When the two of them left, they deeply realized the meaning of the two words of this club, that is, one word: expensive! When paying, Aniston insisted on paying the bill by herself, and as a result, her bank card was directly swiped into a negative number, but fortunately, Aniston would soon get a salary, although it was not much, but it could solve her financial crisis.

At the end of October, the filming was finally coming to an end, and at the same time, the post-production work and publicity of the film had begun one after another, and Eric happened to be in the newspaper, and he could already see the lace news about it. After Drew finished his role, to everyone's surprise, he took the initiative to enter a drug rehabilitation center to get rid of drug addiction, and the girl who lost his footing took the initiative to reform herself, how could such an inspirational story not be promoted.

So, under the planning of Fox's propaganda department, Drew's transformation is entirely due to it. In the newspaper, Drew was originally addicted to drugs because he lost himself after becoming famous, and during the filming, Drew gradually began to re-reflect on the warm and inspirational theme of the movie, realized the true meaning of life, and found the direction of life again, so he made up his mind to change his life. The article was written like all the things that the reporter had seen with his own eyes, and if he hadn't understood the truth, Eric felt that he would have believed it.

Another promotional direction of the film is his eighteen-year-old screenwriter and leading actor. After Eric wrote the script in the newspaper, he wrote the ups and downs from the submission of the script to the final reading by Fox, vividly creating an image of a five-good young man who is indomitable and never gives up for his ideals.

At the same time, producer James Brooks and director Penny Marshall also commented on the quality of his performance, which highlights how talented he is as a newcomer to acting in a film for the first time.

Of course, there was certainly controversy, and some newspapers were quick to question Eric's ability as an eighteen-year-old screenwriter, and even deduced that after the success, Twentieth Century Fox hastily launched a crude follow-up. The $20 million budget is likely to be lost.

This prediction is not unfounded, after the 1985 sci-fi comedy produced by Universal achieved a box office of 200 million US dollars and successfully won the North American box office of the year, other studios, including Universal himself, followed the trend and produced several films of the same genre at the same time, and the results all hit the streets without exception, as can be seen from the box office charts in 1986.

As for these controversies in the newspapers, as long as they are within the scope of their own public opinion, Twentieth Century Fox still likes to see them, and a movie's one-sided praise and one-sided bad reviews will not produce good results, but in the midst of appropriate controversy, it can arouse the audience's interest to the greatest extent.

At the same time, Eric has also gained a lot of benefits in this publicity trend, originally, after the listing, Michael Krauss, as he promised, did his best to do a lot of publicity work, the first week of sales exceeded 20,000 copies, which is quite a good result for a newcomer, and in the following weeks, with the follow-up of publicity and this good reputation slowly fermented, the weekly sales are also slowly rising, although it did not reach the amazing Cheng dù, but it is also in line with Eric's psychological expectations.

And after the film's publicity plan was launched, it naturally became one of the important publicity points. This was a joy to Michael Krauss, who could not have had the same impact as a small publishing house with less than ten staff members, for even a tenth or less of its promotional resources.

As a result, the sales of books directly ushered in a round of growth, and the gradual exposure made people full of curiosity about Eric, a young man who almost created a miracle that his peers could not create.

It's a pity that only some stills and lace news of the crew were exposed, although the name of the movie can be guessed by the public, but after all, it is just speculation, so the public naturally transferred all their curiosity to this book.

In the first week of October, the sales directly broke 100,000 copies, more than the total sales of previous weeks, and Shun Lì climbed to the eighth place on the bestseller list, although the ranking is not high, but if you compare, people will find that almost all the top and bottom of the list are the works of those well-known authors, and in the entire top ten, only one belongs to newcomers and new books.

……

Because there were a few night scenes today, Eric didn't go home until after ten o'clock in the evening.

As soon as he drove to the door, Eric saw the courtyard door of his neighbor Mr. and Mrs. Lange's house being pushed open, and a small figure came out of the door, closed the courtyard door reflexively, and then ran to the street lamp not far away, and turned in a circle in boredom.

"Hey, little Stu, sneaking out of the house is not something a good kid should do. Curious as to why the neighbor's youngest child, Stuart Runkel, came out of the yard alone so late, Eric stopped the car and asked.

"Come on, Eric, do you think arguing in front of a seven-year-old is the right thing for parents to do?" replied Stewart, snorting into his yard.

Eric was a little surprised that the little guy could argue with himself so logically and clearly, and he really couldn't remember that this little guy was so smart. In the Runkel family's house, the quarrel of the Runkels came over.

"So, what are you doing here?" retracted his attention, and Eric continued.

Stewart crossed his arms and leaned against the street lamp next to him, looking like a little adult: "I'm pretending to run away from home." ”

"Pretend?"

"yes, that way they won't fight anymore when they find out I'm gone. ”

Eric also felt that it was too much for the couple to quarrel in front of the children, so he said, "Well, little one, how about sitting at my house for a while, it's dangerous for you to stay here alone late at night." ”

"Well, thank you, Eric. ”

Eric parked the car, opened the door and led the little one into the living room.
