"Didn't the Langkells come?" Jeffrey asked casually with a glass of red wine in the corner of the party.

This is the second day back to Los Angeles. In order to thank everyone for their help in the past six months, Eric specially held a private party in his luxury home in Beverly Hills. In the past six months, James Brooks, Penny Marshall, Jeffrey Hansen, Michael Klaus, Edward Lewis and others who have had an intersection with him, as well as some actors and friends I met during the filming of "Return to Seventeen" and "Home Imperial", Eric sent invitations.

With the couples brought by the guests, there were nearly forty or fifty people. Fortunately, Eric changed his residence and did not have the embarrassing situation of being crowded when he first party was held.

Hearing Jeffrey's words, Eric shook his head indifferently: "I called and invited me in person, but Charlieson refused."

Jeffrey said with concern: "I heard that Stewart Langkell has now received three movies under the arrangement of CAA, and the schedule is directly scheduled to the end of next year. Eric, what are you planning?"

Eric comforted: "Don't worry, Jeffrey, CAA wants to use the sequel to "Home Imperials" to control us, which is simply a delusion. You will understand after the movies that Stu took on are released."

In my memory, after becoming famous in my previous life with "Home Imperial", Macaulay Calkin also took on many films, but the box office results were mediocre. Coupled with the high pay due to his fame, some producers even lost money.

"You mean, the other films Stewart filmed won't be too good?" Jeffrey also considered this.

Eric nodded: "Everyone knows that "Home Imposses" is an anomaly, and I don't deny it myself. After all, Stu is just a child. No matter how famous he is, his box office appeal cannot be compared with adult superstars. By next year, in order to maintain Stu's fame, even if he breaks apart with CAA, the Langkols and his wife will choose to continue working with us. That couple..."

Eric stopped talking at this point, with disappointment in his eyes. When he called to invite the Langkell family, Charlieson Langkell was very cold and even a little arrogant towards him.

Eric could also figure out some Charlieson's mentality. Perhaps the other party felt that if it weren't for his son, he wouldn't have been as successful as "Home Imperial".

Some people always think that they are too important.

"But what if Stewart films a box office hit again?" Jeffrey asked.

"Not to mention that this possibility is very small, even if it really happens, then we will negotiate. Jeffrey, after "The Pretty Beauty" is released, you will understand that I am not living on a "Home Imposses" series."

As he was talking, he glared at Drew, who was wearing a small red dress, taking a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray as if nothing had happened. Eric immediately glared at the girl. Drew found that his behavior was caught by Eric, and quickly put the wine glass back, stuck out his tongue, and sneaked to a group of young people next to him.

Jeffrey noticed Eric's actions and joked: "You are so nice to her. Although you are only eighteen years old, I still feel that you treat Drew like your daughter. If you have children in the future, you will definitely be a very competent father."

"It's still a bit far away to say that. I'm only eighteen years old and I can't rush to get married and have children."

As he was speaking, James Brooks and other guests greeted each other and came to the two of them.

"James, thank you for that." Eric raised his glass at James.

James smiled and said, "It's just a small matter. I saw the reprinted photo in the Los Angeles Times a few days ago. You two look like a perfect match."

Speaking of this, Jeffrey also laughed: "Eric, are you sure that the photo was not specially posed for you. It's hard for me to believe that it was a photographed work by a passing amateur photographer?"

"But that's the case. I even bought the negative for $1,000, and even got inspiration to conceive a new script."

James immediately became interested: "Eric, if it is convenient, can you disclose the content?"

"Of course, no problem," Eric said: "The story unfolds between a single father and an engaged female journalist..."

Eric spent a few minutes telling the story of "Sleeping in the Night in Seattle".

"It sounds like the inspiration for the creation of this script is also from "The Golden and Jade Alliance." James expressed his opinion.

Eric did not deny: "In the script setting, the heroine likes the movie "Jinyu League". If filming starts in the future, I even plan to pay tribute to her with the theme song of "Jinyu League"."

James originally thought that Eric's script was amazing and bought it and even invested it together with Firefly Film Company. Eric just owed him a favor, and if he spoke, Eric probably wouldn't refuse. However, after listening to Eric's story, James gave up his plan.

Eric didn't tell too much about the script details about "Sleeping in the Night in Seattle", so James regarded it as an ordinary romantic love story.

Although romantic love films are a category of Hollywood movies with a large proportion, there are not many outstanding box offices. In this era, the types of movies that are popular in Hollywood tend to be more inclined to action movies or science fiction movies, and even thriller dramas are more likely to achieve a better box office than romantic love movies.

James' lack of interest after listening to the script actually made Eric breathe a sigh of relief. If James spoke up and wanted this script, he really didn't know how to refuse. "Seattle Night" is a movie with a box office of over 100 million yuan, and he was really reluctant to give it up because he owed James a favor.

Several people quickly turned to other aspects, and "Sleeping in the Night in Seattle" was temporarily put behind their heads. It was not until later that the movie received a total box office of more than 200 million US dollars after its release that James Brooks beat his chest and stamped his feet and shouted that he regretted it.

"Eric, I heard that your "Fengyue Pretty Beauty" is about to be released during the Human Day schedule. I think it's better to be cautious. After the New Year holiday, it's only five weeks for the Human Day. In addition, the video is submitted for review and rating, and the effective production time is no more than four weeks. This is a very risky thing."

Eric said confidently: "Actually, the film was already underway two weeks ago. Now there is more than a week left before filming, which is enough for me to consider all the details, so the production time is more than enough. There are not many main scenes in "The Pretty Beauty" and it is easy to shoot."

"The Pretty Beauty" in my previous life was delayed and only took 12 weeks. During this period, I also experienced events such as changing production companies and changing script styles.

When filming a normal movie, the accumulated film material will last dozens of hours, and the large-scale film material will even exceed one or two hundred hours. It is the shooting of these materials that consume a lot of time.

Of course, Eric, who already has a complete video in his mind, wouldn't waste so much time. If the actors had not had to go through a lot of filming, they would be able to devote themselves to the plot. Eric could even directly shoot those shots in their memory.
