CHAPTER 35 – I’LL SHOW YOU ANOTHER DAY





His past’s Macaulay Culkin had only this series to show for it, every single other movies he had played in were mediocre. Eric didn’t believe that the changes so far would make any difference, if the CAA wanted to meddle in this, then fine, let’s see whose patience was longer, he had other movies to make in the meantime.



The reason why Eric no longer dwindled on the overseas copyright is because he suddenly found himself in urgent need of money, and 25 million $ would help alleviate his current problems.



Seeing Barry Diller shook his head, Eric confidently smiled and said: “I believe my movies are worth the price, if you’re still having misgivings, how about signing a gambling agreement with me Mr. Diller ?”


“That’s ……”


Barry Diller almost choked, because of the previous gamble, Columbia’s Blount Cohen status was on the verge of collapse, he may have to pack up and leave at anytime. Barry wasn’t stupid enough to follow in his footsteps.


“Maybe I should bring those conditions somewhere else, I believe that several other movie companies would be very interested. Michael Eisner has been calling me a lot lately.”

Barry Diller laughed: “Eric, you can’t fool me on this one, I know Michael personally.”


Eric shook his head and said: “I’m not lying to you Mr. Diller, after that incident, Mr. Eisner has indeed contacted me.”


As his former assistant, Barry Diller knew Michael Eisner better than anyone. The guy was a very conceited person, so for him to still keep in contact with Eric after all that, Diller was really surprised. He did not know that the reason for this was because Eric had left a deep impression on Disney’s CEO during their meeting.


Barry Diller didn’t think the young man was lying, he could verify this with a phone call. He started carefully reassessing Eric, his former assistant’s vision wasn’t to be trifled with. Barry Diller wasn’t anything like the indecisive Blount Cohen. After thinking for a moment, he quickly calculated the pros and the cons, then stated: “Eric, you have my word.”


“Well, nice to meet to meet you, partner.” Eric raised his hand.


Barry Diller smiled raised his hand, and the two of them high fived. They had basically reached an agreement, the only thing left was to sign the contract.


……


“Hey, Eric, I missed you.” When Eric returned to the reception hall, a pale green figure floated directly over, and landed in his arms.


Hearing the girl’s voice full of excitement, a lot of people’s eyes in the hall were attracted over.


Eric quickly stopped her from doing anything else: “Drew, how did you come out, is your treatment over ?”


“I should have been discharged tomorrow, but I heard that you would attend the reception this evening, so I came out earlier.”


“Drew, you just came out from rehab, it’s best not to drink.”


“How could waiters here give me alcohol ? I’m only thirteen, dude.” Drew looked at him strangely.


Eric suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a thing, this was the United States, and according to the law, you needed to be eighteen to drink. And the party was taking place in such a renowned hotel like the Hilton, they would definitely pay more attention to those details.


In Eric’s past country, adults would even encourage seven or eight year-old children to drink some wine, and if they could drink a few glasses, it was certainly a kind of good omen. But prejudices died hard, although there were legal restrictions, in Eric’s opinion, the people in the West drank far more than those in the East.

“Hey, Eric, we haven’t seen you in one week, and news about you have started to die down, are you retiring early ?” Penny Marshall chuckled as she came over towards Drew and Eric.


Eric took a glass of wine from a waiter’s tray, smiled and said: “How is that possible, I’m 18 years old, not 80. How could I retire when I’ve just finished my new ’s manuscript.”


“A new ? I want to see, I want to see !” Penny Marshall had not answered that Drew started to pull his arm and say.


Penny Marshall quipped: “Hey Drew, if you behave like that, Eric won’t like you, he seems to be fond of the well-behaved type.”


“No way,” Drew retorted, “Aniston is no lady. Eh ? By the way, how come the supersized girl didn’t come ? Hehe, Eric, did you guys break up ?”


Eric knocked on her head: “Something happened tonight and Annie couldn’t come. How could we possibly break up ? I’ll show you my affection for her another day.”


“Eric, your words are so hurtful.” Drew rubbed her little head as she pouted.

Tom Hanks said with a humble smile: “Please call me Tom, Eric, as for how I did it, you might wanna ask Penny…”
