“…… That's it, they'll pass in a while. ”

Eric hung up Connery's phone and said to the few boys and girls gathered around, "Now, you can call your parents, and if they agree, you can go to Sharp Corner Manor, and someone will entertain you." ”

Several teenagers cheered and left to make a call, only Christina heard Eric's words and asked, "Mr. Williams, aren't you with us?"

Eric looked at the somewhat precocious girl in front of him, although Christina did not have as much fame and gold-absorbing ability as Britney in her previous life, compared to Britney's messy career and life, Christina can be regarded as a winner in life.

"I still have a job, but I can invite you to dinner in the evening. ”

Christina had a lost expression on her face, and let out a low oh, I don't know if it was faked, but the girl then looked at Eric expectantly, and said with a sweet smile: "Mr. Williams, then we will wait for you to come back." ”

"Go and call your parents, if they don't agree, you can't go. ”

Although today's rehearsal has not yet ended, the big boss personally spoke, and the person in charge of the program team did not dare to say anything, and personally sent a car to send several teenagers to Malibu.

Katzenberg didn't say much about Eric's actions, but he saw Eric's actions as a teenager who wanted to show off, after all, Eric was only a young man in his early twenties in his eyes, and Katzenberg himself was forty-two years old.

The two watched a few more sets before leaving the Disney Center. On the way back to Disney headquarters by car. Katzenberg, who was sitting next to Eric, said, "Eric. I asked people to re-edit "Righteous Courage", do you want to watch it again when you have time?"

Eric remembered "Righteous Courage", which was originally to be released in early November last year, shook his head and said: "Don't watch it, the biggest problem with this movie is the casting, the actor Ron Dean always makes people have an inexplicable sense of drama, and I don't think there is any need for this movie to be released, just release the videotape." ”

Katzenberg nodded at first, saying that the distribution of the tape would save a lot of money on publicity. However, he thought about it for a while, and soon said: "After all, it is an investment of nearly 50 million US dollars, so it is better to release it on a small scale in September, and the publicity and distribution cost in the off-season will be much lower, and some funds can be recovered." ”

"Well," Eric said, "and the 'Nuns Are Crazy' that we just saw could be a little bit more hyped up, and Whoopi Goldberg's comedy performance was a big hit in 'The Ghost Is Not Dead,' and this movie might have some surprises for Disney." ”

Eric's vision for cinema would not have been doubted even by the egotistical Katzenberg, listening to what Eric said. Katzenberg took the matter seriously in his memo.

Came to Disney headquarters and had a short meeting with several Disney executives. Eric had just returned to Malibu from work.

When he got home, it was half past six, Eric walked into the villa, and heard a burst of laughter coming from the kitchen, he walked over and leaned on the door frame to look inside, seven or eight teenagers and Connally were around the two chefs, and when they saw Eric appear, the teenagers all put down their things and walked towards him, Eric saw clearly, several teenagers were making dumplings, and the very familiar scene in his memory made him feel a little weird and out of harmony in this situation.

After greeting each other, Connery said, "Eric, I called the chef of the Chinese restaurant to cook Chinese food for them, everyone is learning how to make dumplings, it's very interesting." ”

Eric smiled and nodded, he was already aware of this from the Chinese faces of the two chefs.

"Go ahead, I'll take a shower first, Jenny, can you get me dressed?" said Eric, turning and walking upstairs.

Connery answered, and followed, walking side by side with Eric, and asked, "How did you remember to invite these little ones to your house?"

"What's the matter, you don't like it?" asked Eric.

Connery shook his head, several teenagers were very polite, and treated her as Eric's girlfriend, this kind of hostess treatment Connelly still enjoyed very much: "It's just a little curious," thinking about it, Connery turned his head and glanced behind him, making sure that no one was following, before he said, "Hey, you won't ...... You're not going to have a crush on any girl, are you?"

Eric sneered, "Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Connelly nodded earnestly: "I heard that you ...... She was thirteen years old when you met Drew, and that's when you beat her up, huh. ”

Eric stretched out an index finger and shook it, and retorted: "You did the opposite, it was that little Nizi who started beating me since she was thirteen years old, and she called it a long-term plan." ”

Connelly laughed, slapped Eric on the shoulder, and said, "Excuse me, I found a copy of Lolita when I was cleaning up the house today." ”

Eric remembered that it should have been bought by Drew and dropped it here, and Nizi said that he wanted to study the technique of seducing his uncle, but he didn't explain it to Connally, but joked, "I'm reading that book from the perspective of scientific research, don't think about it." ”

"Hehe......"

……

When Eric came out of the shower, Connally had returned to the kitchen to help, so he picked up a magazine, sat down on the couch near the glass wall, and read it.

After a while, a small figure emerged from a bathroom, flicking the droplets of water on his little hand, and looked up to see Eric sitting there, startled.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Williams, I didn't know you were here," Britney said, a little flustered.

Eric pushed the tissue on the coffee table in front of him, "Huh, use this." ”

Britney cautiously walked over, pulled out a few tissues from the cardboard box to dry her little hands, and saw that Eric was still staring at her, and turned her head to look in the direction of the kitchen. It's as if he's hoping that someone will come out and save him.

Eric looked at the little girl's cramped appearance. Laughed: "Do I look horrible?"

"Nope. Of course not," Britney shook her head like a rattle, because the little girl had been a little shy and embarrassed in front of Eric because she had fallen on stage in front of Eric in the afternoon. Girls are usually a bit precocious, not to mention that Britney has been participating in various trainings and performances since she was eight years old, and her mind is more mature than her peers who stay in school. However, the little girl looked at Eric with a faint smile on her handsome face, and she inevitably felt a little inferiority complex in her heart.

"Sit down. Chat with me, anyway, there are so many people in the kitchen, and there is no shortage of you. Eric said, gesturing to the couch opposite.

Britney sat down obediently across from Eric, but kept her eyes down.

"Who are you in your house?" asked Eric, pressing the magazine together on his knee.

"Dad, Mom, brother, and sister," Britney replied.

Eric only remembered that Britney had a younger sister and a pair of mercenary parents. It didn't affect Britney's brother: "Are they all in Los Angeles?"

"Well, last year my mother gave birth to a younger sister. My dad moved to Los Angeles with my brother. ”

……

Christina wrapped another good-looking dumpling, picked it up and showed it to the little friend next to her, only to suddenly find that Britney had been out for a long time and had not come back, which made the little girl instinctively have a trace of vigilance, put down the dumpling in her hand, Christina politely said a few words to Connelly, walked out of the kitchen, and saw Britney who was being amused by Eric at a glance.

Oops, Britney's stupid girl got the first place.

Thinking so, Christina had a little jealousy in her eyes, Eric saw Christina's figure and beckoned to her, Christina quickly put away her thoughts, showed a sweet smile, and walked over briskly.

"Chrissy, we were talking about you," Britney said without any thoughts, and moved to the side to sit Christina beside her.

Christina asked a little wary, "Say what?"

"Of course it's our business at the Mickey Mouse Club," Britney replied.

Eric looked at the two girls opposite and said, "Britney just talked about your singing, I heard that you two sing very well, you have time to sing for me." ”

"Okay," Christina said quickly, "now." ”

Eric shook his head, "Forget it today, we'll have dinner soon." ”

Christina wanted to make a statement, but when she heard Eric say this, she nodded a little disappointed.

After a few moments of conversation, Connery poked his head out of the kitchen and called them to dinner. Britney Spears had long been aroused by the peculiar smell of Chinese food, so she stood up and ran towards the restaurant.

Eric put the magazine away and was about to get up, Christina bit her lip, and finally plucked up the courage to say: "Mr. Williams, Britney Spears sings, actually, it's not as good as me, the teachers in the club say so." ”

Eric felt even more amused, and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?"

"I ...... I just want to say that Britney is just a little prettier than me, and that she can't compare to me anywhere else, and I'm sure I'll be able to show that I'm better than her. ”

"Oh, I see," Eric nodded noncommittally.

Christina added, "Mr. Williams, you are ...... today Are you going to us to choose actors?"

Eric raised his eyebrows, finally understanding the reason for the little girl's abnormalities, he smiled and shook his head, "No, I just went to check the work of the Disney studio today, and it has nothing to do with the selection of actors." ”

Christina didn't look discouraged at all, instead walked over and squatted beside Eric and asked expectantly, "Mr. Williams, do you think I can be an actor?"

"Aren't you an actor now?"

"I mean, movie actors, like, like Stuart Runkel?"

Eric remembered what he had seen today, Christina, like many American children, grew up in a broken family, and at the age of six, her mother finally divorced her father because of her father's domestic violence, and then continued to live a life of exile. Because singing is better, he began to perform on stage at the age of eight to make money, and children who grew up in this environment are both precocious and full of desire for a good material life, so they will say what they just said, the success of "Home Alone 3" again, director Stewart has become the most successful child star in the world, which is directly reflected in the salary of up to 10 million US dollars.

"Chrissy, feel free to perform at the Mickey Mouse Club, as long as you work hard, you will definitely get ahead in the future, you don't have to make a movie," Eric patted Christina on the back of his hand and said. He doesn't have the consciousness of a savior, not to mention that with his current status, there is no need to rely on supporting one or two future superstars to make meritorious achievements, Eric is more like seeing what will become of the superstars in his previous life if they deviate from their original life tracks.

When Christina saw that Eric was about to get up, she reflexively grabbed Eric's arm, with a pleading look in her eyes: "Mr. Williams, can you give me a chance, I heard that you have a lot of girlfriends, I ...... I can be your girlfriend too. ”

Eric looked at the girl clutching her little hand and said, "Don't make a fuss, Chrissy, I'm going to be angry if I do this again." ”

"No, Mr. Williams, I, I know I'm not pretty enough, but I can, I can take Britney and we'll be your girlfriends together," Christina stammered a little, but said in passing.

Eric's eyebrows furrowed again.

Christina thought that Eric was moved, and she was overjoyed, and continued: "Mr. Williams, Britney has a crush on you, and she, she's always silly and easy to coax. ”

Eric almost laughed, Christina's evaluation of Britney's 'stupid' is really apt enough, Britney's series of scumbag boyfriends in her previous life were almost all people around her, and even the paparazzi could catch her, which shows how easy Britney is, and she has been cheated continuously but does not have a long memory.

"Eric, uh...... What are you doing?" Connery, who hadn't seen Eric appear for a while, walked out of the dining room just in time to see Christina holding Eric's arm.

Seeing Connery's appearance, Christina panicked and let go of her hand, Eric shrugged at Connally and walked straight towards the restaurant, while Christina followed him timidly with her head down, not daring to look at Connery's expression at all.

Connelly glanced between the two suspiciously, but finally didn't say anything.

The dinner was very rich, and as soon as Eric walked into the restaurant, Britney came to Eric with a small plate of dumplings like a treasure: "Mr. Williams, this is my bag, do you want to taste it?"

Eric knew that the traps for these children to make dumplings were all prepared by the chef in advance, and he was not worried about what strange dumplings he would eat, so he nodded with a smile, took a bowl and picked two from Britney: "That's enough, thank you." ”

With Britney taking the lead, the other teenagers also brought their own results. Only Christina wanted to cry a little, because she had just been entangled with Eric, and the fruits of her labor were not known to be taken away by anyone. (To be continued......)
