"Eric......" Donald. Tepro called out softly to Eric and mouthed out to his daughter, Nunu, in his arms.

Ivanka looked very devastated by the failure of the performance she had just performed, and Donald Brown. Although Teplan's eloquence was enough to engage in pyramid schemes, he comforted, motivated, and even reprimanded his daughter in his usual way for a while, but it seemed to have no effect, so he could only ask Eric for help.

Although the matter was provoked by little Lori, if Eric hadn't agreed just now, there would have been no current thing, and Eric couldn't shirk it, so he could only pull a chair to Ivanka's side.

Little Lori glanced at Eric and leaned over to her father.

"Ivanka, this must be your first performance, right?" Eric thought about the wording and asked softly.

It took a long time for Ivanka to nod slightly.

"I remember when I was in school, it was a music class, and the teacher asked one of our classmates to go to the podium and sing a song, and as a result, the guy, because he was so nervous, stumbled and sang a few words, and finally fainted directly on the podium. It was also his first performance, so you just finished more than half of the shot. ”

Eric made a comparison in advance and arranged an excuse for little Lori to dredge the shadow in her heart, and sure enough, after listening to Eric's words, Ivanka seemed to relax a lot. But he still said softly: "However, when I was at school, I also sang to everyone, but it didn't show up...... It's the kind of situation you said. ”

"Then you must be on stage a lot, right?"

"Hmm," Ivanka nodded.

"Look, that's the crux of the matter. Acting is the same as singing. The first time I was nervous. Try a few more times and get used to it. ”

"Then ......" Ivanka finally raised her head, blinked her beautiful eyes, and asked, "Mr. Williams, why was I nervous just now, I told myself that it was a very easy thing to do." ”

"This ......" Eric hesitated, it was about the liberation of nature. It stands to reason. Acting should be a breeze for an eight-year-old child, because the so-called liberation of nature is to return the psychological state of an adult actor to the carefree and carefree state of a child.

However, nothing is absolute, just like the little Lori in front of her, she has lost this state, and for Stewart, the little guy has not, and has maintained a state of natural liberation, so he can easily perform according to Eric's request. But Ivanka gets nervous.

"Ivanka, because it's more complicated. So I can't explain it to you for the time being, because you can't understand it. ”

Ivanka hummed obediently and didn't ask again, but her expression was no longer as depressed as she was just now.

"Mr. Donald, it's time to bury yourself," a staff member approached.

Donald. Teprang nodded and hugged his daughter again: "Yini, Dad will be back soon, can you stay here obediently?" ”

"Hmm," Lori nodded at her father, barely smiling.

Filming resumed, this time, little Lorian sat quietly on the side and didn't say anything, just still curiously watching Eric Tong Guò walkie-talkie remotely direct the operation of the entire crew, with big eyes shining.

……

After the camera in the hallway was split into two parts by Eric, the shooting went a lot smoother, and after a few minutes and twenty minutes, the shot finally got through.

Donald. Teprang was also about to leave with his daughter, when the other party came, because he was too busy, Eric didn't greet him personally, and he didn't even know that the other party had brought his daughter with him, and now that he was leaving, of course Eric couldn't treat the other party lightly, after all, Donald. Teprang came to make a cameo as a real estate tycoon, and he didn't pay a penny for the cameo fee, even if he had some other thoughts in his heart, it was very face-saving.

"Thank you, Mr. Teplan, for coming." At the entrance of the Plaza Hotel, Eric shook hands with Donald and said.

"It's my pleasure too," Donald smiled, then patted his daughter on the shoulder next to him, "Ini, say goodbye to Eric." ”

Little Lori stepped forward and stretched out her little hand: "Goodbye, Mr. Williams." ”

"Goodbye, Miss Teplan." Eric took Lori's pink little hand and shook it gently.

Ivanka withdrew her little hand, and her big eyes were still shining at Eric: "Mr. Williams, are we friends?" ”

Eric looked stunned, then smiled and nodded, "Of course." ”

"So, you can call me Ivanka, or like Mom and Dad and my brother, call me Ini. I'll call you Eric too, okay? ”

"Absolutely." Eric nodded again

"Eric, perhaps, that ......" Ivanka stammered twice, then looked at her father, "Dad, can I invite Eric to our house?" ”

Donald. Teprang almost wanted to pick up his daughter and kiss the two of them, what a caring little padded jacket. He tossed all these things today, not just to establish a personal relationship with Eric. Originally, he didn't know how to speak, and he planned to open some pies at home in a few days, and then tentatively invited Ari, but he didn't expect his daughter to solve the problem directly for him.

Of course, although I was happy in my heart, but Donald. Teprang was not at all silent on the surface, but said to his daughter: "Of course, you are also a member of our family, and you have the right to invite guests." ”

"Then, Eric, come to my house when you have time." Little Lori looked at Eric expectantly.

"I will," Eric politely said, not taking it to heart, completely taking Lori's words as childish words, maybe Ivanka will forget about it in two days.

watched the departure of the father and daughter before he returned to the crew.

……

"Mr. Williams, this is the first draft of the script for the first five episodes from The X-Files, and Fox is urging again. I hope you can cut out the trailer of Home Alone 2. They plan to show it on TV by October 17. And also. Robert. Mr. Shea said that a few papers would be delivered tonight......"

Eric flipped through the script for The X-Files in his hand and listened to Alan reading the memo beside him.

After a while, Alan closed the memo: "That's it, by the way, Royce just called from Central Park and said that the crew was also in some trouble when they were preparing for the exterior over there." ”

Eric immediately raised his head, "Home Alone 2" is the most important thing at the moment: "What's wrong?" ”

"That's right. An environmental group in New York didn't allow us to use artificial snow on a large scale, and it organized some people to come and supervise it, and Royce said they even had a skirmish with our crew. ”

Eric didn't understand for a while, how could artificial snow have anything to do with environmental groups?

"Well, do you know what's going on?" Eric asked, and while these should be the concerns of producers, Eric is a director, but he is also one of the producers. And, in the end. His power in the crew is the greatest, so something big happened, and he was the one who needed to come forward in the end.

There was already a conflict, and it seemed that this matter would not be too easy to solve, so Eric paid more attention to it, and when he asked this sentence, Eric had already gotten up to get his coat, planning to go to the scene to see it in person.

Alan chased after him and said with concern: "Eric, I finally took a morning break, I think Mr. Hansen will definitely take care of those things, you better have a good rest."

"It's okay, if you don't see it with your own eyes, I'm not at ease." Eric shook his head.

Alan had no choice but to get into the car with Eric and rush to Central Park.

On the way, Alan explained to Eric: "Here's the thing, there are two kinds of artificial snow, one is to use a snow gun to make real snowflakes, but then the cost is too high, and the environmental requirements are also very harsh, requiring sub-zero temperatures, and now this kind of climate conditions will definitely not be able to achieve." Therefore, we use a different approach, which is to replace it with a snow-like material, which is chemically composed of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate. Magnesium sulfate is actually harmless and can even be used as a fertilizer for many plants. However, the environmental protection organization did not listen to our explanations, nor did it trust our assurance that we would clean up after the fact, but repeatedly restricted our use of this kind of thing, as I just said, a field staff couldn't help but have a conflict with the other party, and this is how it happened, the field manager felt that the other party was too nitpicky, coupled with youthful vigor, so he did it. ”

Eric, who was leaning on the back of the car seat and listening patiently, his eyes flashed, and then he asked, "It's not a big deal, is it?" ”

"No, the two were pulled apart as soon as they came into contact." Alan shook his head.

Eric breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "What about the media?" ”

"What?"

Eric repeated: "I mean, is there any media attention to this?" ”

Alan heard Eric's tone a little solemn, and quickly understood something, but he didn't answer for a while: "I don't know too much about this. I thought it was just pure...... Pure environmental incidents, after all, many crews have encountered such entanglements. ”

Eric took a deep breath and said to the driver in the front seat, "Brut, drive faster." ”

……

Coming to Central Park and walking through the blockade crew's venue, Eric saw seven or eight young men and women lying on the ground at a glance, all of whom wore masks on their faces, but they were dressed very coolly, and their bare skin was painted with green oil paint with various environmental slogans. Eric was familiar with several of the crew members standing helplessly on the periphery, and Jeffrey was spitting and discussing something with a woman who looked to be in her thirties and dressed like the young people lying on the ground, looking excited.

"Ms. Schneider, how many times have I said that this place must be laid with fake snow, because this is a very important shot, it will definitely not work without snow, we have already made a lot of compromises, what else do you want?"

"Absolutely not, Mr. Hansen, those chemical materials would have caused them fatal injuries if they were laid directly on top of these vegetation."

"I've promised you again and again that we'll clean up this place when we're done shooting, and I've bought a special vacuum cleaner for that, isn't that enough?"

The Ms. Schneider still shook her head: "No, it's absolutely not possible anyway." Central Park is the lungs of Manhattan, and if you have a piece of your lung rotting, Mr. Hansen, how would you feel? ”

"What do I have to say before you can say yes."

"We will never say yes, there must be no fake snow on this lawn." Ms. Schneider also seemed to be excited.

The two were arguing fiercely when Eric walked over.

Jeffrey happened to be facing Eric, so he didn't know the situation, but the lady Schneider didn't know why, she recognized Eric at a glance, and walked over to Eric with a stern face: "Mr. Williams, I'm Shirley from Green New York. Schneider, I strongly protest your crew's actions of laying chemicals on the lawn, and you have to change that. ”

Jeffrey also came to Eric's side at this time, and glanced at the woman helplessly before saying to Eric, "I'm sorry, Eric, maybe our scene here in the afternoon will have to be postponed." ”

"It's okay," Eric patted Jeffrey on the shoulder, then said to the woman in front of him, "Ms. Schneider, right?" I've just heard some of the arguments between the two of you, so I'd like to ask you first, do you know the ingredients of the artificial snow we use? ”

Shirley. Schneider showed a sneer: "Of course I know, magnesium sulfate heptahydrate." ”

"What else?" Eric asked.

Shirley. Schneider was stunned: "What else?" ”

Eric said: "Don't you know that magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is not only harmless to plants, but also a chemical? Therefore, we lay false snow, not only will not cause harm to these plants, but it will even be beneficial. ”

Shirley. Schneider's face turned pale several times, and he quickly said: "I don't know what you said for the time being, I will collect some information when I go back." However, even if it is a fertilizer, if you lay such a thick layer, it must be excessive, and I know that using anything in excess will have the opposite effect. ”

"I said a long time ago that after the shooting, we will definitely clean it up seriously." Jeffrey interjected.

"I don't believe you, you mercenary capitalists, who knows if you will say one thing and do another, so, if you want to shop...... "Shirley. Schneider pointed to the men and women on the lawn: "Just lay it on us!" ”

Eric glanced at the lawn, and a thought quickly crossed his mind. (To be continued......)
