Eric waited for about twenty minutes before a red sports car appeared at the intersection not far away, and came to a stop in front of him.

The window glass fell, the girl didn't even bother to open the door, and her little body came out of the car window, Eric quickly reached out to catch it and picked the girl out of the car.

Habitually tired of Eric for a moment, the girl twitched her little nose and said with a smile: "Eric, you have the smell of a woman on you, you can't be kicked out of bed at the last moment, right?"

Noticing the embarrassed expression that flashed on Eric's face, Xiao Nizi couldn't help laughing: "Hehe, I guessed right, it's so pitiful, let Little Drew hug and don't cry." ”

Eric slapped the girl's buttocks with a smile, looked at the drunken red face, and said, "It's so late, hurry up and go home and rest." ”

"Well, go home, you carry me in the car......"

Eric put his arm around the girl, pulled the car door and stuffed her in, but instead of getting into the car directly, he walked to the front and knocked on the window of the cab, the glass slid down, and the twins asked, "Master, is there something wrong?"

Eric just glanced at it to make sure the twins weren't drinking, and nodded, "It's okay, let's go." ”

"Eric, don't look at it, how could I possibly let them drink, how dangerous it is to drink and drive, woo, my head is a little dizzy, I want to hug it." ”

Eric got into the back seat of the car, felt the girl's small body and immediately bullied her, reached out and touched her little head, and smiled: "I really want to knock you stupid." ”

"Hehe, it's useless to knock me into a fool, I can still guess what you're going to do when you raise your hand. ”

Feel the car start. Eric smiled and raised his hand, "Come on." Guess what. What am I going to do?"

Comfortably resting on Eric's lap, the girl stretched out her little hand and pulled Eric's big hand in front of her and gently nibbled it twice, laughing: "It's too deliberate, don't guess." ”

The sports car drove on the winding mountain road of Beverly Hills for more than ten minutes, and entered the Trausdale Manor, Eric was talking to the girl with his head down, and Natasha in the co-pilot turned his head: "Master, there is someone at the door." ”

Eric looked up. At the door of Drew's mansion, a black SUV is parked outside the gate.

Little Nizi also sat up when she heard Natasha's words, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Gwyneth Paltrow, you must have forgotten something when you left." ”

Eric wondered, "Forgot something?"

"How do I know," the girl smiled, "Anyway, you can pull anything, as long as you have an excuse to come back." ”

Eric understood in an instant, smiled, and said nothing.

I saw the girl's red sports car parked at the door of the mansion. Gwyneth Paltrow, who was sitting in the SUV, took a deep breath and pushed the door open to get out of the car. With an apologetic look on his face, he walked over to Eric and Drew: "I'm really sorry, Drew, my bag has left you at home, I have an audition form still in my bag tomorrow, so I can only come back and get it at this time." ”

The girl affectionately took Gwyneth Paltrow's hand, "It's okay, Kate, it's so late, why don't you stay tonight." ”

"Won't it bother you?" said Gwyneth Paltrow to Eric.

Eric looked at the two girls who didn't have that kind of affection but were like sisters, and just nodded, saw the gate open, and walked towards the courtyard.

Gwyneth Paltrow saw that Eric had no intention of talking to him, and a hint of loss flashed in his eyes, but he quickly changed his expression and dealt with the little girl who was still holding her hand.

"Let's go in," said the girl, seemingly unaware of Gwyneth Paltrow's expression, and instructed the twins to drive Gwyneth Paltrow's car into the garage.

Eric walked into the courtyard and saw the two maids who were still busy and some clutter still scattered around, and knew that the girl was having a party at her house when she called. The two maids didn't know much about Eric's character, and when they saw him appear, the work in hand was not finished, and they couldn't help but have some apprehension in their eyes, worried that they would be scolded.

It was almost one o'clock in the morning, and Eric waved his hand and said, "You guys go to rest first, and then clean up tomorrow." ”

The two maids breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and neatly finished the little work in front of them, and disappeared quietly.

The chatter of the two girls was heard behind him, and Eric was not interested in it, taking off his coat and throwing it on the sofa, and went upstairs to put water in the shower.

After a while, Natasha, who was holding Eric's coat in her hand, quietly appeared at the door of Yumuro, hung her coat on the hanger next to her, and walked over and whispered, "Master, I'll come." ”

Eric got up, let Natasha watch the water, walked to the washbasin and took out his toothbrush, squeezed the toothpaste and asked, "What is Drew doing down there?"

"Talk to Miss Paltrow. ”

"It's so late, wait for you to talk about it, let them talk tomorrow. ”

"Hmm," Natasha nodded, seeing Eric begin to brush her teeth, focus on the tub, fill it with water, reach out to test the temperature, and quietly exit Yumuro.

After brushing his teeth, Eric took off his clothes and soaked in the bathtub, squinting his eyes comfortably under the stimulation of the warm water, and after a while, he felt that Yumuro was pushed away, and the girl quickly threw herself into the bathtub.

Eric pressed the girl's restless little body into his arms and smiled, "Don't make a fuss, it's so late, Gwyneth Paltrow?"

"Go to bed in the guest room, Eric, are you going to go on a night raid, maybe she'll be looking forward to it?"

"I'm not interested, since you don't like her, what are you doing so perfunctory?"

The girl rubbed Eric on the shoulder and said, "It's interesting to see that she obviously hates me very much in her heart, and she has to go to great lengths to get close to me." ”

Eric patted the girl on the back and said, "Don't go too far." ”

"If you don't like it, I'll ignore her. ”

Eric shook his head, "No need, but how did I hear you just called her Kate?"

"That's her Christian name. Teach the father to rise from the ground. ”

Eric wondered, "Oh. And what about your religious name?"

"I just recognized my goddaughter when I was filming 'ET'. At that time, they were all eight years old, and they had no Christian names, but they were born and raised in Hollywood, and they were very officially named in the church when they were baptized. ”

Feeling that the girl's mood was inexplicably low, Eric leaned over and kissed the baby face: "It's okay, or I'll give you a name." ”

"Okay, do you want me to call Daddy?"

"Uh...... Don't call it that. ”

"Hehe," the girl twisted her body again. There was a splash: "You obviously like it, I feel it." ”

Eric reached out again and pressed the girl's head: "I'll throw you out again." ”

"Hehe," the girl laughed a few times, no longer tossing, and said, "By the way, Eric, I got a cool script today, it cost a full $500,000, you can help me read it." ”

"Tomorrow, I won't see what time it is. ”

"Just take a look. Xiao Nizi became more and more energetic the later she went, and climbed to the edge of the bathtub as she spoke. Grabbing the shampoo bottle and banging on the edge of the tub, a stack of shouts, "Natasha, Natasha......"

The twins' voices came, "Boss?"

"Help me get the script for today. ”

"Okay. ”

A moment later, the door of Yumuro was gently pushed open, and Natasha walked in with a script in her hand, but a faint flush appeared on her usually quiet and beautiful face, and her eyes were slightly dodgy, not daring to look at Eric who was soaking in the bathtub.

Although there was a layer of foam floating on the bathtub and she couldn't see anything, Eric also felt a little embarrassed, and was about to ask Natasha to go out quickly, but Xiao Nizi stretched out two white little arms, asked Natasha to help her dry with a towel, and said, "What are you shy, I'm Eric's, and you are also Eric's." ”

Natasha whispered, "Yes, boss." ”

Watching the twins leave, Eric asked, "What did you do?"

The girl didn't answer directly, and said with a smile: "If you don't want it, I'll give them to someone else." ”

"Forehead ......"

"Okay, I won't give them to others, hehe, let's read the script," Xiao Nizi held the script in one hand and handed over a dry towel in the other.

Eric wiped his hands dry, took the script from the girl's hand and opened it, his eyes almost popping out.

There is only one word on the cover of the screenplay, "Scream", and the name on the screenwriting column is also familiar to Eric, Kevin Williamson.

Fortunately, Xiao Nizi turned around to hang the towel and didn't see the brief surprise on Eric's face, otherwise she would definitely guess something.

Sensing the girl turn around, Eric asked casually while flipping through the script, "Where did this script come from?"

"Recently, everyone has been grabbing it, but the price has reached $350,000, several major studios have withdrawn, and only a few independent production companies are still competing, I think this script is very cool, so I directly offered $500,000 to take it. ”

The scripts of Hollywood's big-name screenwriters can sell for $2 million to $5 million, but because of the box office potential limitations, the price of horror film scripts is usually not too high, although I know that "Scream" is a box office hit in the original time and space, but just from the current situation, the opening price of $500,000 is a bit high, a horror film script, about 200,000 is good, even if it is more exciting, it will not exceed $400,000, which is why several major studios will withdraw at the price of $350,000.

Xiao Nizi once again guessed his thoughts from Eric's expression, and explained: "$500,000 is not only this one script, but also includes the contract for two other sequels, and there are two other scripts of the same type, adding up, it's actually five." ”

Hearing the girl say this, Eric's thoughts just now suddenly vanished.

It's true.

How could this Nizi suffer.

Eric was able to guess what screenwriter Kevin Williamson had in mind, and in Hollywood, as an unfamous screenwriter, $500,000 was definitely a lot of money. There are thousands of scripts in Hollywood every year, and many screenwriters tend to die down after one or two works, perhaps less than $500,000 in a lifetime, and Kevin Williamson must have the idea of making a little more money on this script.

However, the $500,000 five-film contract waited until "Scream" became a box office hit. Kevin Williamson will definitely regret it in the future.

Feel Eric's mood change. The girl also laughed proudly. "Eric, what do you think of the girl who I personally starred in the script and was just starting to be killed?"

Eric leaned against the edge of the tub, flipped through the script in his hand, and asked in a calm tone, "How did you come up with this idea?"

"I just think it's funny, I haven't acted in a movie for a long time, and it won't take long for this role. ”

"Well, if you like, you can do it, yes. How's the script for Tina's "Mean Girls"?"

"Preparations have already begun, we plan to put it in the year-end schedule, and this "Scream", if the filming goes well, we also plan to put it at the end of the year, if no one is willing to release it, we will do it ourselves. Oh, and there's a sequel to "Mission Impossible", and Kevin Costner's agent called two days ago and said he wanted to talk about a sequel contract. ”

Eric asked, "How did you get back to him?"

Xiao Nizi smiled: "Of course I ignore him." Everyone now knows that there is a big problem with "Future Water World", although it has barely finished filming. But we heard that the movie alone during the filming period had already cost 130 million, and I heard that the original director was scared to the end, and now the post-production will cost at least thirty or forty million dollars, Kevin Costner must want to sign the sequel to "Mission Impossible" first, in case "Future Water World" fails, he can also get some protection, I won't let him succeed, even if he wants to talk, wait for "Future Water World" to be released, hehe. With "Scream" and "Mean Girl", it was enough for Amy and I to be busy for a long time, and there was also "Forrest Gump" to be released in person in the summer file, and we also had to participate in the promotion of "Wonderful Night at the Museum", there were so many things. ”

Warner took over Kevin Costner's "Future Water World" that Kevin Costner had been preparing last year under the pressure of that big-name collective 'strike', and now he will definitely regret his death.

The final production cost is 170 million, and it will cost another $30 million to publicize it, a total cost of 200 million, Warner needs to recover $600 million worldwide before it can recover its cost at the box office, with Eric's memory of this film, $600 million worldwide is simply impossible, and it would be good if there was no miserab. In the case of a low box office, even if you are a blockbuster that burns $200 million in costs, the income from peripheral videotapes and TV licensing is definitely not high, and Warner's huge loss on this film is almost a certainty.

Eric couldn't help but think of Warner's film list this summer, in addition to "Future Water World", there are also "Batman Forever", "The Line of Fire", "Fair Game", "Evaporation Secret" Four films, in addition to the guaranteed income of "Batman Forever", the other movies, at least at the box office, Eric does not remember that there are global hits. But the cost of these five films is higher than the other, not to mention the collapse of 170 million in "Future Water World", "Batman Forever" spent $120 million because of a pile of stars, "Evaporation Secret" also spent $100 million because of Arnold Schwarzenegger's high salary, and the other "The Line of Fire" is 70 million, and "Fair Game", which was accidentally stirred up by Eric last year, has the lowest production cost, but it is also a $50 million big-budget film.

In Eric's view, these films are definitely not worth these high production costs, although with the repeated bombardment of five blockbusters in the summer file, Time Warner's film business revenue will rise sharply this year, but in terms of profits, Eric is almost certain that compared to last year's annual loss of only 91 million US dollars, Warner's loss this year will definitely increase significantly, and Time Warner CEO Terry Semel's life will become more and more difficult.

Perhaps, while Time Warner's performance is sluggish, Firefly can do something.

After all, Time Warner has something that Eric covets and fireflies have almost nothing for.

……

Lying on a strange bed in a strange room, Gwyneth Paltrow tossed and turned for a long time, her mind cluttered with anticipation, yearning, jealousy、......

Although she was also Spielberg's goddaughter, Gwyneth Paltrow had always been a little disdainful of Drew, a low-level girl who just relied on her last name to eat in Hollywood. But Drew's good fortune over the years had made her mad with jealousy, and just thinking about the multimillion-dollar mansion she was in, Gwyneth Paltrow gritted her teeth. She didn't know when she would be able to buy such a house that was completely her own. Think of these years. She has been deliberately lowering her profile to associate with Drew. But this little Bichi didn't even get her an audition opportunity for a big-name film, and she hated it even more.

Bichi!

Isn't it just Eric Williams?

Definitely, I'm going to grab him.

I don't know how long I thought about it, but the sky outside the window was cloudy, and Gwyneth Paltrow fell into a deep sleep, and when she opened her eyes again, the sunlight had filled most of the bedroom.

I picked up my watch in a daze and looked at it, half past nine. Gwyneth Paltrow sat up suddenly, washed up hurriedly, sat down at the dresser and carefully dressed herself, and silently read it to herself, hoping that he hadn't left yet, or else the next time they met would not know when. The little Bichi never took the initiative to introduce them to Eric Williams, and some of the girls begged her to take them to the Sharp Corner Manor many times, but to no avail.

After dressing up, Gwyneth Paltrow left the room. There was no trace of last night's party inside and outside the villa, and it even looked empty. All the way to the living room, Gwyneth Paltrow didn't meet anyone.

Just as he was about to go out, he saw one of the twins coming down from the upper floor with a few clothes in his hand, and when he saw her, he politely stopped to say hello.

Although a little jealous of the twins' white and immaculate faces, Gwyneth Paltrow quietly asked, "Natasha, where is Mr. Williams?"

"Miss Paltrow, the host is outside. ”

Gwyneth Paltrow was stunned for a moment, and asked hesitantly, "You...... Call him master?"

The twins nodded, their expressions unchanged, and asked, "Miss Paltrow, do you want breakfast?"

"Well, prepare me a fruit salad, add some honey, and ask for a glass of milk, a little hot, forty degrees is best, oh, I'll eat it in the yard later, I'll eat it in the yard," Gwyneth Paltrow digested the question a little, felt the twins' respect, and subconsciously commanded like a hostess.

"All right, Miss Paltrow," Natasha nodded, turned and walked away quietly.

Gwyneth Paltrow stood there stunned for a moment, wondering if there had been such a docile servant.

Thinking to herself, she quickly picked herself up and walked outside the villa.

Outside the villa is a square swimming pool lined with lawns and some shrubs, with a large open space for temporary parking leading to the gate to the west, and a small path extending to the east as a triangular terrace overlooking the whole of Los Angeles.

Gwyneth Paltrow saw Eric sitting at a long table on the terrace, seemingly on the phone, with a laptop, a fax machine, and a pile of papers. The other of the twins sat quietly on a chair at the entrance to the terrace, holding a book in his hand, and reading quietly with his head down.

Although this kind of picture felt a little strange, Gwyneth Paltrow walked over without hesitation, but just as he reached the entrance of the terrace, he was stopped by the twins who got up: "Sorry, Miss Paltrow, the boss is on the phone." ”

Although he knew that he was not alone, the sudden change in the attitudes of the two identical girls still made Gwyneth Paltrow a little displeased, and insisted: "I just want to say hello to Mr. Williams, and I won't disturb him." ”

The twins still shook their heads quietly, not letting her go, noticing that Eric had also looked over, and Gwyneth Paltrow hurriedly and eagerly beckoned to Eric.

Eric smiled and nodded, said a few words to the person on the other side, and hung up the phone: "Natasha, let Gwynnie come over." ”

"Yes, master," Natasha replied softly, quietly stepping aside and sitting back in her chair as she quietly read the book in her hand.

Gwyneth Paltrow stepped forward briskly, but quickly reined in her movements, and greeted ladylikely, "Morning, Eric. ”

"Morning," Eric smiled softly, not minding her self-acquaintance, and sat down in front of his laptop to open a file.

Gwyneth Paltrow was sitting on the other side of the long table, and when she saw Eric sitting down across from him, she immediately got up and walked to him, sat down next to him, glanced at the interface of the laptop, happened to see the YCR software icon on the desktop, and said, "Eric, you also use YCR, I have it too, can you give me your number?"

"I'm sorry, Gwynnie, this is for my work, not for personal friends. ”

Gwyneth Paltrow persistently pestered, "Oh, don't you have a private number?" )
