Chapter 243: It's quite a toss

Although the heroine Anne worked in Baltimore, the rest of Anne's scenes were shot in Manhattan, New York, except for some locations outside of the Sun Building and other parts of Baltimore.

Eric did this in order to juggle the preparations for Home Alone 2, where most of the scenes are set near Manhattan's Central Park.

In a renovated apartment room, Eric shouted NG again, and then said to a white and chubby white woman in her thirties: "Ms. O'Donnell, be more mean when you say those lines about the character's ex-husband, remember, when you say those lines, you have to hold a grudge in your heart, everything is your ex-husband's fault, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

Rosie O'Donnell, who plays Anne's roommate, shrugged: "You know, director, I don't feel anything like this at all, so I'll probably have to try a few more times." ”

The surrounding crew members chuckled, and Rosie O'Donnell said this because the 36-year-old rapper and actor was not only an extreme feminist, but also a homosexual. What's more, she has never covered up the matter like some other public figures, this woman not only has a regular same-sex partner, but the two have also lived together.

Although after coming to New York, there will inevitably be problems because the shots that need to be shot here are much more chaotic than in Seattle, but so far, the shooting progress is completely in line with the previous projection, so Eric is not in a hurry. Hear Rosie O'Connor say that. Laughed along with the others. Said: "Don't worry, let's take our time, I'm sure you'll feel it a few more times." ”

Rosie O'Connor nodded, and Eric beckoned for another start to the shoot.

This set of shots is relatively long, so it has high requirements for Nicole and Rosie's acting skills, and they have actually been NG several times before, but they have not succeeded.

With the crisp sound of the clapperboard, Becky, played by Rosie, began to speak her lines. According to the dialogue between the hero and heroine of "The Golden Jade League", Annie was guided to write a letter.

After Anne typed on the typewriter, she realized that she was a little crazy, and she was so deluded that she and another man made an appointment to meet on the top floor of the Empire State Building on Human Day, you know, it was a big day for her and her fiancΓ© Walter.

Scratching her hair frantically, Anne crumpled up the written letter and threw it out.

Betsy picked up the small paper ball that had been thrown on the sofa and looked at it, and then she didn't know what she thought, and said with a complaining face: "You know, because of that bad fate." Martin and I got married and bought a house with a dead tree. So, I divorced him and caused me to crash into a car and meet Rick. ”

Becky's tone when she said this did not reflect on herself at all, but showed a look of hatred in her expression, Eric behind the monitor nodded slightly, but felt that Rosie's expression at this time was a little exaggerated, but he did not immediately call a stop, but let the conversation between the two continue.

Anne sat down next to Betsy with a bowl of popcorn, and when she heard her friend's complaints, she asked with interest, "Wait, you didn't mention it, you divorced because of a tree." ”

"It's because of the gardener," Becky blurted out.

Anne asked, "You're in love with the gardener?"

After Betsy said that, she showed a brief panic, and then said, "I didn't say I was in love with him, did I say that?" Betsy asked rhetorically, and then quickly changed the subject, directing Anne's attention to the "Golden Jade League" playing on the TV.

Anne followed along with Becky and began to talk about the classic lines of the hero and heroine along with the plot on the TV, and when they were moved, they cried together regardless of the image. But the expression looks very exaggerated, so not only does it not make people feel sad or moved, but it is very joyful.

Flutter -

Eric heard a short snicker, and his eyes that were originally staring at the monitor immediately swept towards the source of the sound, like the gaffer who snickered and gave a stern warning look, and the other party quickly apologized to Eric.

Originally, Eric thought that in this part of the shooting, the scene of the two women making stupid faces on the TV could be edited and used in the movie, but with this laughter, this scene was also ruined.

After shouting to stop, Eric rubbed the corners of his forehead and said, "Okay, I know that two women crying to death in front of a romantic comedy may seem ridiculous to many men, but, remember, you are working right now, if anyone feels that they can't help it, wait until they get out and get caught and messed with by me, even if you don't mean to, I won't spare it." Everyone prepare, do it again!"

After a few more shots, the shot finally got through, and it was noon.

After Eric announced the suspension of filming, he was about to go to lunch when Elizabeth hurried in.

"Eric, Donald Teplano has been waiting for you outside for two hours, but I didn't inform you because you've been filming just now, are you going to meet him?"

Puzzled, Eric asked, "Who is Donald Teplan, and do you know him well?"

Elizabeth explained: "I don't know him too well, I know him, he is a real estate tycoon in New York, there are buildings in his name all over the United States, he is a very powerful person, and I have met him a few times before on Pai DuΓ¬." ”

Eric listened to Elizabeth's narration, and quickly collected some fragmentary information about Donald Teplan from his memory, not too much information, it seems that Donald Teplan left his own star on the Walk of Fame as a Hollywood outsider with several popular variety shows, it seems that this person is quite capable of tossing.

At the same time, Eric quickly remembered the other party's beautiful daughter named Ivanka Teplan, because in her previous life, on the Internet, Ivanka Teplano was once rated as the top ten unmarried female richest people in the world by the media of good things, with a fortune of more than 2 billion US dollars.

Although he remembered this person, one of them was a film maker and the other was a real estate person, so Eric was not very interested and asked, "I don't know Donald Teplan, why did he come to me?"

Elizabeth shrugged: "Who knows, I'm just here to inform you, if you don't want to meet, I'll go and tell him you're busy and don't have time." ”

Eric looked at his watch, "Since this Mr. Teprion has been waiting for me for two hours, let's meet, it's lunchtime anyway." ”

"Then you come with me," Elizabeth said, leading Eric out of the set.

Eric soon met a middle-aged blond man who looked to be in his early forties and wore a gray tweed coat.

"Hello, Mr. Williams," Seeing Eric walk out of the set, the middle-aged man who was originally sitting in a limousine hurriedly got out and warmly shook Eric's hand.

Eric was a little puzzled by this self-acquaintance, but still smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Teplan, do you have anything to do with me?"

Donald Teplan seemed to appreciate Eric's directness, and smiled: "I think it's almost time for you to enter lunchtime before you ask Miss Murdoch to help pass the word, Eric, don't mind if I call you that, there's a nice restaurant nearby, I've booked a seat, can I invite you to lunch?"

Eric didn't really mind the salutation and the like, nodded, then shook his head again and refused: "Mr. Teplan, I only have an hour, so I'm afraid ......"

"I promise you won't delay your work, the restaurant is just around the corner of the street in front," Donald Teplano pointed not far away.

Faced with Donald Teplan's enthusiasm, Eric didn't know how to refuse for a while, and looked back at Elizabeth, wanting the girl to help him out. But Donald Teplan, apparently mistaken, immediately followed: "Miss Murdoch can come with her, too." ”

Elizabeth, who was about to help Eric find a reason, heard that she was being dragged in, and immediately shook her head and said, "No, Mr. Teplan, I have something to do." ”

"That's a pity," Teplanan shook his head, and then enthusiastically opened the door of the limousine for Erekla, "Eric, let's go, then." ”

I don't think I've said yes yet, Eric muttered to himself, but seeing the other party's posture, it would be too impersonal to refuse, so he got into the car, and Donald Teplano followed, telling the driver to drive to his destination.

The two arrived at a restaurant, where Eric and Donald were led by the waiter to their seats in a quiet corner.

Sitting down in his chair, Donald immediately instructed the waiter to start serving, and when the waiter left, he breathed a sigh of relief and took a closer look at Eric, who was sitting across from him.

The two were indeed just incompatible, and the reason why Donald Tepron suddenly came forward to invite Eric in person was related to his current situation.

As a real estate businessman, he has been working on his business since the mid-seventies, and with his talent and the help of his predecessors, Donald Teplano has been able to amasse a fortune of $1.7 billion in just over a decade.

But from '87 onwards, the collapse of the U.S. stock market also affected the real estate industry, causing the Great Depression in the real estate market. (To be continued......)
