I’m in Hollywood

When he got home, Eric saw that there were more reporters outside the door, so he could only call the lawyer to come to his house to discuss the compensation agreement. Although Columbia's trick had been determined, he still felt that it was better to be careful.

After completing this, Eric finally remembered that it was time to call Aniston. He dialed the number several times in a row, but no one answered. At this time, Aniston should be at home, and when Eric put down the phone with some worry and was about to call again, the phone suddenly rang.

Williams? Eric answered the phone.

Eric, it's me. Aniston's voice sounded opposite.

Eric said happily: Annie, are you okay? I just kept calling your apartment, but no one answered.

I moved in with Dad, Eric. Don't you know? The paparazzi found out about our relationship, followed me around, and even knocked on the door of my apartment pretending to be a courier, freaking me out. There was still a hint of fear in Aniston's voice.

Eric said anxiously, Annie, are you alright? By the way, when did this happen? I called you before boarding the plane yesterday, wasn't it alright?

I'm fine, Eric. Even this morning, I don't know how the paparazzi found out. Anyway, it was in the newspaper in the morning, and said...and said... Aniston's voice was a little unhappy, and Eric was heartbroken. Thinking that it was not a good word, I could only comfort him: Okay, Annie, you'll be fine, just stay with your father for a while, and quit your job at the convenience store.

Aniston complained unhappily: Eric, won't it be like this forever? Then how can I live?

Eric said: Of course it won't be like this all the time. It will be fine after a while. In fact, my house is surrounded by a lot of reporters. You can leave me your father's address, and I will visit you when I have time.

Aniston reported the address, Eric wrote it down, and after a few words of comfort, he hung up the phone.

...

In a villa in Beverly Hills, Aniston hung up the phone unhappily, glanced at a pile of crumpled newspapers on the ground, picked up the pillow on the sofa and hammered it a few times.

Those newspapers described Eric and her relationship as the Hollywood version of Prince and Cinderella, exaggerating Eric while demeaning himself. Drew took it out and compared it, and the result was that Drew was more suitable to be Eric's girlfriend than her.

At the end, Aniston gradually developed a trace of inferiority and unease in her heart. In her heart, Eric was so good, and she was so ordinary.

Now, he is about to become the youngest billionaire in Hollywood, but he is the 'convenience store salesman' that the newspaper said, and the gap between the two is really getting bigger and bigger.

...

Eric didn't know the entanglement in Aniston's heart. After waiting for half an hour, the lawyer in charge of the gambling agreement came over.

Hello, Mr. Edward, thank you for coming in person. Eric let Edward Lewis, the lawyer in charge of the gambling agreement, and his assistant into the room, and stretched out his hand.

Edward Lewis hurriedly reached out and shook Eric, with a little respect in his tone: Eric, I didn't expect Home Alone to be so popular, congratulations. This is my assistant, Carter.

The three sat down on the sofa, Eric took out the compensation agreement given by Columbia,

Tell what happened.

Edward Lewis listened to Eric's narration quietly, picked up the compensation agreement and looked at it carefully. After a few minutes, he said, Eric, there is nothing wrong with this agreement, you can sign it with confidence.

That's good, Eric nodded reassuringly, took out the pen and signed it directly.

Edward Lewis looked at Eric, hesitated for a moment, and said, Eric, I think, maybe you need a team of full-time lawyers to be responsible for your daily legal affairs.

Huh? Eric heard Edward Lewis' self-recommendation and raised his head with a smile.

Edward Lewis looked at Eric's smile and stopped beating around the bush, saying directly: I think my firm has enough strength to be responsible for this matter, Eric. From what you just said, you can know that if If you are not vigilant enough, you may face the situation that the gambling agreement will be torn up. Therefore, I think my law firm team can be your agent and be fully responsible for the next negotiation with Colombia, even if Colombia once again If you breach the contract, we can go all out to fight a lawsuit for you and ensure your interests.

Eric has seen the professional quality of Edward and his legal team since the beginning of the drafting of the gambling agreement. And Eric knew that he really needed a team of full-time lawyers now. After a few conversations, the two sides quickly reached an agreement. Edward Lewis took out an agency authorization agreement that had been prepared, and Eric immediately signed his name on it.

Then, the next thing is left to you, Edward, you will transfer this compensation agreement to Colombia. I really don't want to deal with the other party.

Okay, Eric, if there is nothing else, let's take our leave.

After sending Edward and his assistant away, Eric finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he could concentrate on his beloved film career.

He was very reassured about Edward Lewis' firm, after all, the other party was only his agent and had no power to make decisions for him. If the other party conspires with Colombia to conspire against itself, then once the matter is exposed, in this country where credit is extremely important, the entire career of the other party’s entire firm will be ruined, and Colombia will not be able to provide support for this large group of people. The price tag for the rest of your life.

Eric was really relieved, but Columbia was caught in the whirlpool of public opinion because of Eric's statement.

Because of Eric's statement, many newspapers that had been finalized were re-typed again. After all, the news was too hot. That evening, a statement about Eric's condemnation of Colombia appeared in the newspapers. Various analytical speculations quickly appeared in all media, and in order to expand sales, most newspapers chose to fan the flames.

After Eric's statement was published in its original form, these newspapers began to analyze word by word. It has to be said that the power of brain supplementation is powerful.

Some newspapers somehow linked Eric's statement to Michael Eisner. Before the statement, Eric did slap Michael Eisner a little, saying that the two had a good chat and had the opportunity to cooperate. This led newspapers to speculate that Michael Eisner played a positive role in debunking Colombia's 'bad tactics'.

Michael Eisner was still hesitating to tell his old friend that Eric had broken both sides of the game. The first time I saw the news in the newspaper, I quickly called Blunt Cohen to explain, but unfortunately the other party obviously didn't believe it.

Michael Eisner could only smile bitterly, he also knew Blunt Cohen's suspicious character, and sighed that this friendship was over, but somehow he didn't have too many complaints against Eric, but more appreciation.

Some newspapers quickly found out that Home Alone only had more than 1,500 screens this week, which was not even comparable to the more than 1,600 yuan of Return to Seventeen, which had already increased the number of screens. This discovery made the media one-sided. He scolded Columbia wildly, and at the same time began to question the integrity of the Columbia company.

The media controlled by other film companies were envious of Colombia's monopoly on the Home Alone cake, and they condemned it, and even called on fans to boycott Colombia in some tabloids and refused to watch the films produced by Colombia.

After the news appeared in the newspapers, the public hotline of the Columbia company was directly bombarded by people with a sense of justice. Several female staff members who were in charge of answering public calls were all scolded and cried. Two of the girls died the next morning. Submitted a letter of resignation.

After Columbia President Blunt Cohen smashed everything in the office, he reluctantly called a meeting of public relations executives to discuss the response strategy.

That evening, the Columbia-controlled TV station issued a statement defending Home Alone's screen count this week, announcing the compensation agreement between the two parties, and implying that what Eric said was Columbia's attempt to tear up the show. The matter of the agreement is purely non-existent, and it is entirely because of the dispute over the number of screens that Eric has a bad association.

However, because Eric did not come forward to respond, the media and the public generally did not believe Columbia's explanation.
