Hollywood (我就是好莱坞) Part I

CHAPTER 17 - TEMPORARY CREW

Back on the 17 Again set, Eric kept thinking too much about the Home Alonematter, and made a lot of mistakes during the shooting, but probably because the end was near, Penny Marshall's temper was surprisingly good, and she patiently kept correcting him.

Eric had even thought of seeking help from her but quickly dismissed the idea. Penny was the equivalent of the 20th Century Fox. Such a huge film company would obviously be able to see the potential of his low budget Christmas comedy and try to be a part of it. This was something Eric didn't want to see happening.

After thinking about it for a while, he was finally reminded of a certain loli. Even after going through hard times, she was still able to make a comeback. Whether it was a producer, a director or a child star, they had one thing in common: connections.

Don't just think of Drew as a thirteen-year-old girl, with that kind of personality, her social network couldn't be underestimated, at least she wouldn't have a problem helping him put a small team together.

October 9th, 17 Again's filming was finally over, and Eric got his 500,000 $ paycheck.

Thus, he began working non-stop on his next plan.

......

"Eric, where are we going ?" Aniston who was sitting in the passenger's seat asked curiously.

Eric pulled out the Home Alone script from his bag, and said: "Take a look at this first."

Aniston looked at the name, surprised: "Oh wow, Home Alone ? Is that your new script ?"

"Um." Eric nodded, then started the car and said: "I intend to shoot the film myself."

"What ? Eric, you're not kidding right, do you even know where the camera's power button is ?"

"I do. By the way, I want to become a director, not a cameraman." In his past, he had stayed in that circle for so many years, when it came to directing, he knew just about everything.

"Alright then, you still haven't told me where we're going though ?"

Eric hesitated for a bit but still said: "We're going to see Drew."

"Humph!"

"Annie, I brought you so that you wouldn't have any misunderstandings."

"Humph!"

"I need Drew to help me find some professionals, she might be young but she knows a lot of people."

"Humph!"

Eric sighed, parked on the roadside, unfasten his seatbelt and said: "It seems that today I'll first have to convince a jealous little girl."

......

"You understand, right ? You have no reason to feel like this. Let's go now."

Eric put his seatbelt back on and started the car again.

"Hey Eric, you can find James or Penny, there's so many other people, why does it have to be that bi-.... girl." In order to maintain her ladylike image in front of Eric, Aniston quickly swallowed back her words.

Eric explained it to her once again, Aniston clenched her fists, but no longer spoke.

The rehabilitation center was well-known in Los Angeles, and in order to prevent visitors from bringing drugs, the two of them were searched. Then a staff lead them to Drew.

From afar, they saw the lass was lying on a sun chair on the side of an open-air bath, a hardcover version of Jurassic Park in her hands.

"Hey, Drew ?" Eric shouted.
