Chapter 20: Test piece

Although everyone in the auditorium, including Aniston, who did not participate in the filming, clearly knows the specific content of "The Little Devil", but as the story progresses, especially in the process of Kevin's two thieves, the screening The laughter in the hall followed for a while, even the old man in his fifties, like Jeffrey Hansen, couldn't help but laugh.
The film of one hour and forty minutes ended unconsciously. After the last line of subtitles was finished, everyone stood up and clapped their hands together.
"I have to say that this movie is really good, Eric, I think I should congratulate you in advance." Jeffrey Hansen patted Eric's shoulder and said seriously.
"Thank you, Jeffrey, and, thank you, without your help, I can't complete the "Little Ghosts" in just half a month."
The people blew each other for a while and gradually dispersed. After all, everyone still has things for everyone. They had planned to open a small celebration party, but unfortunately, Eric’s unshaven look was exhausted and consciously gave up the idea. Eric had overdrafted too much energy for half a month. Everyone knows him. Need a good rest.
The next step is to contact the release of the film. Just tomorrow is the test film "Returning to the 17th". Eric thinks this may be an opportunity to sell "Little Ghosts" to the 20th Century Fox agent. He believes that as long as When the top executives of the 20th Century Fox saw this film, they would definitely agree to their own distribution plan, even if they finally gave up some splits. After all, he still has no foundation.
Perhaps after the release of "Return to Seventeen", it is easier to sell "Little Ghosts", but then it must have passed the New Year. As a Christmas comedy, other time screenings are definitely not a good choice. You can't wait until next year. Well, I have already put so much effort into it, and seeing that the plan is so close to success, he doesn’t want to delay for a year.
Only Annieston, who had a temporary driver’s license, returned to Eric’s house with Eric’s car. Eric put the film in a good copy and gave an account to Aniston, then he plunged into the bed and never wanted to Open your eyes.
Aniston had wanted Eric to take a shower and sleep, and I saw Eric, who was still in a sleepy face with a markedly tired look, and finally could only sigh with a distress and take off his clothes and shoes. After that, I covered the blanket for Eric and turned away from the bedroom.
The Eric family had been dusted for more than half a month, and Aniston took the cuffs and found tools to clean up. "Friends" Li Ruiqiu is a spoiled girl who doesn't know how to wash clothes in front of the washing machine. In reality, Aniston has already been self-reliant.
On the desk of the study, Aniston picked up a thick "Basic Theory of Music" and wiped the dust off the table with a rag. Suddenly a document slipped out of the book in his hand. Aniston curiously picked up the file and found it to be a house agreement.
......
I don't know how long it took. At noon, it seemed that Aniston asked if she wanted to eat, but Eric refused in a groggy way and then fell asleep again. When she woke up, the bedroom was dark.
I reached out and touched the bedside lamp skillfully. After I opened it, Eric looked at the watch, it was already at 9 o'clock in the evening.
Anne should have left, Eric thought, wearing clothes and walking out of the bedroom, faintly heard the sound of the TV in the living room.
Go down the stairs and see Aniston kneeling on the sofa with a pillow in his arms watching the TV series.
"Hey, Annie, good evening." Eric walked over and kissed him on Aniston's face.
"You wake up, Eric, go take a shower, I will do something for you."
Eric didn't notice the difference on Aniston's face. He turned and walked to the bathroom. He spent half an hour taking a shower and shaving his beard. Eric walked out of the bathroom. Aniston had already Go back to the sofa again and have a good dinner in front of you.
"Oh, Annie, it really surprised me, you will actually make Chinese fried rice, um, very fragrant." Eric tasted a bit and praised.
"You said that you like it, I specifically learned it." Aniston looked at the stunned Eric with a smile on his face, patiently waiting for Eric to finish eating, and said: "Eric, are you? ... Is the house mortgaged?"
Eric was about to send the cutlery back to the kitchen. He heard Aniston’s words and raised his head in confusion. He didn’t tell anyone about it. How did Aniston know?
"When I cleaned the room for you, I just saw this falling out of a book." In the face of Eric's confused eyes, Aniston took the paper from the coffee table.
Eric had to put down the tableware, took the document and glanced at it. He nodded. "The money for the "Little Ghosts" was still 200,000 yuan. I had to mortgage the house."
"That, the piano in the study..." Aniston had been to the Eric home several times before, and I really liked the Strauss piano.
Eric nodded again.
Aniston frowned at some distress: "Eric, I think you are too impulsive, although everyone who shows "Little Ghosts" today feels good, but if you fail, you may go bankrupt at any time."
Eric got up and sat down next to Aniston, and Aniston squatted in his arms: "Don't worry, Anne. You see, a few months ago, I was just a high school student who was not known for a few months. I successfully published my own novel, wrote a script and also served as the leading actor, and now I have made a movie. How many people can do this at my age? So even if it fails, I believe that My strength, I can still stand up again easily. We are still so young, of course, we must work hard all the time, and we will be defeated, at least weeping. Otherwise, when we are old, white hair, Recalling my life, it’s plain and boring, it’s not a shock, it’s like a little meteorite in the sky, and it’s a pity that it’s a shame.

"Oh, Eric, you said it was so too... charming, I think you are tempting me, you bad guy." Anston couldn't help but raise his face and kiss Eric's lips.
Eric grabbed Aniston’s waist and kissed him warmly.
Aniston felt that Eric’s hands were not as good as they were in the car last time. Instead, he held Eric’s waist tightly, his face was red and his eyes narrowed.
......
The morning sun hit the face, Aniston's eyelashes shook, and the consciousness turned to avoid the disturbing light. This inadvertently moved the wound somewhere, and the girl opened her eyes in pain. Confused for a few seconds, Aniston quickly remembered what happened last night, while his face was reddish, and he hated to remember the bad guy who tossed himself. He just turned around and found that there was only Under oneself, this makes Aniston feel a little sad, which girl does not want to wake up in the caring boyfriend's arms.
Some of the grievances were just beginning to ferment, and Eric walked into the bedroom with a plate and saw Aniston, who had already woken up, with a smile: "Hey, baby, good morning."
Aniston licked his mouth and said, "It's not good at all, you bastard."
"Well, I apologize. In order to express my apologies, I deliberately spent an hour doing a delicious pork ribs soup for you."
"No, I am still losing weight."
"Today's situation is special, so forget about losing weight for a while, come and taste how it tastes?"
"Hey, I haven't brushed my teeth yet?"
Eric put the tray on the bedside table and lifted the quilt directly to hold Aniston: "The Princess of the Princess must be inconvenient, I will take you there."
"I hate," he wore only one of Eric’s wide shirts, and Antonston, who was infinitely bright, was screaming and obediently let Eric hold himself up from the bed.
After the warm breakfast, Aniston can only take time off from the convenience store owner because of the inconvenience. For this kind of thing, the convenience store owner seems to have become accustomed to it. Many young people who work in Los Angeles with star dreams will take time off to some crews. At the touch of luck, the convenience store owner also knew that Aniston was one of them, so when Aniston accepted the job, the two sides had reached an understanding.
The two were tired for a while, and Eric had to drive away from home. Today is just the test of "Returning to Seventeen". He wants to try to get the release of "The Little Devil" by the way.
Around 10 o'clock in the morning, in the 20th Century Fox Deluxe Screening Hall, dozens of people including the Propaganda Department of the Publishing Department and the representatives of the film dealers, "Returning to the 17-year-old" producer James Brooks and director Penny Marshall And other unannounced starring also came to the scene.
Before the movie, Eric came to James Brooks and Penny Marshall, hoping that they would help introduce the head of the 20th Century Fox Distribution.
"Eric, you mean, you want to make your little-cost movie appear in Christmas?" James Brooks was a little surprised, and he knew through others that Eric had completed "Returning to Seventeen" I made a movie myself, but I didn't expect it to be completed so soon.
"Yes, James, that's a very interesting Christmas comedy, so it's best to be on Christmas, and it's definitely not appropriate at other times."
James Brooks has some disdain in his heart. Although he has been surprised by this boy many times since he met Eric, he absolutely does not believe that Eric, a newcomer, can make interesting comedy movies, Eric as a screenwriter and The actor can also be said to be a talent, but if the director can play with his talent, it will take years of experience. However, due to his face, he promised to help introduce him.
