After six o'clock in the afternoon, the crew members came to Eric's house one after another.

It was completely dark, and Eric, who had been discussing things with Chef Vanessa in the kitchen for a while, returned to the living room, looked around, and was surprised to find that in addition to the crew members, there were more than a dozen beautiful girls in various dresses.

"Jeffrey, what's the matter with these girls?" asked Eric curiously, finding Jeffrey Hansen.

Jeffrey smiled and said, "It's Nichol, after filming, they took over the filming of a school comedy, and these girls met at that time." I don't know how I heard that the director was going to hold a party at home, so they followed Nickel and them, and as for the reason, I guess I don't need to explain more. ”

Eric smiled, the girls were clearly coming for him. But he doesn't mind, there are only two or three women in the crew, and the others are all men, and it is really boring to have some big men on the pie.

He walked to the center of the living room and clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention: "Everyone be quiet and listen to me." ”

Everyone in the living room quickly stopped talking and turned their eyes to Eric.

"First of all, I hope you all have a good night. Today's pie is to celebrate the success, this success does not belong to me alone, because without your help, I would not have been able to complete the shooting in such a short time, here, I would like to say thank you again. ”

Eric said, bowing slightly to the crowd, and everyone in the living room applauded.

Eric pressed his hands slightly, signaled everyone to be quiet, and continued: "Of course, it is certainly not enough to thank you in words, and it is the hard work of each and every one of you to achieve such amazing box office results, so I have specially prepared a dividend for everyone, and I hope that we can have the opportunity to work together again." ”

With that, Eric took out a stack of envelopes containing checks and distributed them to everyone along with Jeffrey Hansen. Eric had already written his name on the envelope in advance, so there was no risk of a mistake.

Depending on factors such as the position of the crowd, the amount of the check ranges from $200,000 to $500,000. Although it is insignificant compared to the box office, this is equivalent to the salary of these crew members for several years, after all, they used to be just mixed in the small-budget independent film circle, and the annual income was only tens of thousands of dollars at most.

Of course, Eric didn't forget about the other actors who participated in the filming, but those people's dividends must be more generous, so Eric plans to pay them after getting the share from Colombia.

Some people may wonder why they have to distribute a large amount of money to others after the box office is a big hit, since the filming is completed and the two sides have been cleared. But every circle has a circle of rules, and those who break the rules will have a hard time in the circle. After the box office hit, dividends to participants is one of the rules of the film and television industry.

In his previous life, James Cameron, who had made it clear that he would give up all the benefits he deserved, received a huge dividend from Fox after achieving a box office miracle, even though both parties had been so bad that they forced each other to jump off the building.

After handing out the checks, Eric announces the official start of the party, and then pulls Jeffrey Hansen upstairs.

"Jeffrey, it's yours, enough for you to buy the fireflies back. The two of them went to the balcony of Eric's bedroom on the second floor, Eric took out an envelope and handed it to Jeffrey, the amount on the check was three million dollars, Eric was not distressed at all, if it was not for the help of Jeffrey Hansen, an experienced producer, it would not have been possible to complete it so smoothly.

Jeffrey Hansen took the envelope and rubbed it a few times, and quickly handed the check to Eric without hesitation.

"Huh?" said Eric, puzzled by Jeffrey Hansen's actions.

"Eric, I've thought about it these days, even if I buy the fireflies back, I still can't grow the fireflies without Solena, so ...... So I have a request. ”

Eric laughed, "Jeffrey, do you still need to use the word request between the two of us?" ”

"Eric, you said you would open a film company, can I go to your film company to help you, you know, although I am not good at being a director, I still have some experience as a producer. ”

Eric raised an eyebrow in surprise, he had also had the idea before, and even thought of taking over the filming team left by Jeffrey Hansen's wife.

However, he also felt Jeffrey Hansen's obsession with the Firefly Film Company he founded with his wife, and after the success, Eric was confident that it would no longer be difficult to create a new team, so he did not have the idea of digging into the wall again.

Now, Jeffrey offered to ask, and Eric wouldn't agree.

"Jeffrey, to be honest, I once wanted you to come to my film company to help me, but I thought that you would be reluctant to bring up Firefly Film Company, so I didn't bring it up abruptly. ”

Jeffrey listened to Eric's words, his face did not relax, but said with some trepidation: "Eric, actually, this is not my main request, I hope ...... I hope that your new film company will also be called Firefly, after all, the original Firefly no longer exists. I know this may be a bit excessive, but ...... I can...... I'll help you be a producer in the future, you can divide it into nothing, just a salary, I hope you can think about it......"

Eric found out that Jeffrey's feelings for the Firefly Film Company he founded with his wife had not faded, but he had figured out Guò himself and continued some things.

While being slightly moved by this feeling, Eric quickly made a decision in his heart, anyway, he didn't care too much about the name of the film company. Originally, he just wanted to use the name Williams Film Company like Disney, Warner, and Fox.

Now, a name that sounds good and has an emotional connotation in it is not bad.

"Jeffrey, no problem, the new company will be called Firefly Films, I actually like the name too. ”

Geoffrey's right hand was raised slightly, as if he was still thinking about how to convince Eric, and when he heard Eric's words, he was slightly stunned: "Eric, what did you just say...... Did I hear me right?"

"Of course, I agreed. ”

"Really...... Thank you so much, Eric, I'll definitely try to work for you, I ......" Jeffrey didn't know how to express his gratitude, so he could only open his arms and hug Eric tightly.

After Geoffrey let go of himself, Eric handed the envelope containing the check again: "Okay, Jeffrey, it's just a name, if you had brought it up earlier, I would have agreed a long time ago." Now, take this, this is what you deserve. ”

Jeffrey was about to excuse himself, but Eric stuffed the envelope directly into the pocket of Jeffrey's suit: "Jeffrey, although the age difference is quite large, we are still good friends, aren't we? And these are the fruits of your labor, forget the stupid things you just said about not dividing, and I hope you can wholeheartedly help me create the next miracle. ”

Eventually, Jeffrey was persuaded by Eric to accept the check. The two of them discussed a few more words about the establishment of the film company and the preparation of Eric's next film, and then returned to the pie duì downstairs and announced the news of the establishment of a new Firefly film company, and the crew members who had different minds were jubilant when they heard the news.

After quietly looking at the amount of the check given by Eric, the team built by Geoffrey's wife became restless, and they also knew that Geoffrey wanted to redeem the Firefly, so most of them were oscillating between the idea of following Jeffrey in the independent film circle or defecting to Eric.

Now that Eric and Jeffrey have made the best of both worlds, everyone is relieved, and the atmosphere in Pai Duì is even more enthusiastic.

……

After a few words of conversation with photographer Nikel Frank, Eric had just turned around with a goblet when a girl in a red high-cut dress seemed to have tripped over something and was about to crash into Eric head-on.

"Stop-" Eric hurriedly shouted with a wry smile, and raised his left hand in front of him to make a gesture to stop the girl in front of him.

The girl with a beautiful golden watermelon head in front of her and a sharp face subconsciously stopped her movements, and stood less than a meter in front of Eric at a loss, her small hand holding red wine waved unconsciously, splashing some wine, and at the same time showing an embarrassed look on her face.

"This young lady, if you want to talk, just greet me directly. I can't hit it again, I've just changed two sets of clothes, and if I hit it again, I'll have to appear in front of everyone shirtless, I guess you won't like to see this scene. ”

The girl, who was already very embarrassed, burst out laughing when she heard Eric's slightly teasing words: "Mr. Eric, you are really funny to talk about. ”

"Of course, I practiced it in order to attract the attention of beautiful girls. Eric joked, "So, this ......"

"You can call me Luciene, Mr. Eric. ”

"Luciene, that's a nice name, let's go over there and talk. Eric pointed to a clearing not far away, and in order to get rid of the enthusiastic or purposeful girls in the pie, Eric wisely chose a temporary female companion.

At the same time, he sighed slightly in his heart, if Aniston, this little girl, would not have these troubles here, I don't know what this stubborn girl is doing in New York at this moment, according to the time difference between the east and west of North America, New York should be early in the morning.
