I’m in Hollywood

Two gentlemen, these are the office buildings selected according to your needs. This one is in the Burbank area, and the other is in the Santa Monica area. Oh, this one is near Hollywood, and the price is relatively expensive.

In the lobby of the real estate agency, a real estate agent named Raymonde skillfully handed the documents to Eric and Jeffrey. Since it was decided to set up a new Firefly Film Company, the first thing to do is to rent an office space for the company, so there is the current situation.

While listening to Raymond's introduction, the two looked at the documents and discussed with each other.

For some reason, Eric felt that Raymonde looked at him strangely and seemed eager to try. Finally, in the middle of a conversation, Raymond couldn't help but ask: Excuse me, Mr. Williams, are you the young director who filmed Home Alone?

Eric raised his eyebrows, looked at the other party's expression, secretly thought that the middle-aged man in front of him should not be his fan, nodded, Eric readily admitted his identity: Mr. Raymond, I am, what's the problem?

Ramonster confirmed the doubt in his heart and continued: That's it, Mr. Williams, I don't know if you are interested in the Beverly Mansion, we happen to have a Beverly Hilltop mansion here, with an area of ​​6,000 square feet. Left and right, close to Sunset Boulevard, easy access, and most importantly...privacy.”

When it comes to the last few words, Raymond's expression is a little unnatural. Obviously, the other party has read the gossip about Eric in the Los Angeles Metropolis Daily today, and then he has the idea of ​​​​selling the mansion.

It has to be said that the real estate agent seized the opportunity quite well. Eric was troubled by the pervasive paparazzi, and the sales agent of the agent was in Eric's favor.

Jeffrey next to him also said at this time: Eric, I also think you need to change your residence. With your current wealth, it is not very safe to live in North Hollywood alone.

Eric nodded and asked, Mr. Raymond, if I'm interested, when can we see the room?

Raymond was overjoyed and nodded immediately: It's ok now, the owner has handed over the mansion to our full agency, and the key is with us.

Eric was not in the mood to choose an office building after hearing this, left a check for Jeffrey to decide, and then drove Raymond to Beverly Hills with him.

Following Raymond's guidance, after more than half an hour, the two came outside a mansion on Beverly Hills: This is it, Mr. Williams.

After getting out of the car, the first thing Eric saw was the nearly two-meter-high fence, with dense green tree crowns protruding from the fence.

Ramonster introduced next to him: Mr. Williams, you see, the privacy of this mansion is quite good, the walls are high enough, and the dense vegetation inside, completely cut off the risk of the paparazzi taking pictures. And this There are no street lights around the mansion, and there are two front and rear gates, which is perfect for a public figure like you.”

Eric nodded with satisfaction: Raymonde, let's go in and take a look?

Oh, of course. Raymond hurriedly took out the key to open the door of the mansion, and invited Eric to go in first.

Look, Mr. Williams, the modern-looking main house was designed by Edward Niles Design. It has four bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and two kitchens. There is a garage for 10 cars and an open air outside. Bathtubs, pocket basketball courts,

By the way, through the balcony on the second floor, you can overlook the whole of Los Angeles, and the scenery of Los Angeles at night is very charming...

Eric listened to the agent's skillful introduction, and patiently turned around the mansion of about 600 square meters.

Raymonde, how much is this mansion?

Raymond was stunned for a moment, and soon his heart was filled with ecstasy. Eric didn't ask all kinds of messy questions like other house inspectors, but directly asked the price. The success rate of this business is obviously very large.

The owner of this mansion had to put his beloved mansion up for sale because he suffered losses in the stock market crash last year, but the other party did not reach the point of exhaustion, and the price he offered was relatively high, so this house has It has been almost half a year for the intermediary company in Raymonster.

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Raymond said calmly: $2 million, Mr. Williams.

Eric's first reaction was that it was so cheap, but he quickly realized that it was 1988, not the 21st century when house prices rose to the point of prostitution. It seems that the 11-square-kilometer Neverland that Michael Jackson purchased last year was only $19.5 million. Obviously, the $2 million price of this mansion is a bit expensive.

Although Eric is not short of money now, he is not taking advantage of it. He turned and stared at the real estate agent and said, Raymonde, obviously you also understand that I bought it with sincerity, so give me an actual price. Well, two million dollars is obviously impossible.

Raymond showed a painful expression and said, Then, $1.95 million, it can't be any less.

One million. Eric offered his price.

Raymond shouted in surprise: This is impossible.

Obviously, it is not yet popular for Chinese to buy property in North America, so it is the first time that Raymonde has encountered such a frenzied Eastern way of haggling.

As if his personality had been insulted, Raymond stalked his neck: Mr. Williams, if you make such an offer, there is no need for us to discuss any further.

Eric saw that the other party was really angry, and quickly said with a smile: Okay okay, Raymond, just kidding. But you are too insincere, and it's only $50,000 cheaper.

Although Raymond was still a little unhappy in his heart, the other party was a big client after all. If he sold this mansion, he could also get a large commission, so his expression quickly returned to calm: Mr. Eric, The owner of this mansion is not very short of money, so the price is very high. Originally, the other party insisted on 2 million US dollars. Cheap price.

After that, Raymond looked like he was waiting for Eric's decision. Obviously, there was no room for negotiation on the price.

Eric thought for a moment, he really liked this mansion, and finally nodded: Raymonde, if I decide to buy it, how long can I live in?

Raymond said: If you can pay the full amount, we can do our best to handle the handover procedures for you, and you can move in within three days. If you need a bank loan, it will definitely take a little longer.

It really is a country where money is omnipotent. Eric remembered that a friend in a previous life boasted about his experience of buying a house in Los Angeles, and it took more than a month to get it done.

Eric finally chose the full amount, and the two returned to the intermediary company in Raymond. Eric called Edward Lewis' firm and asked the other party to send a lawyer familiar with this business. He was only responsible for filling out A check, and the rest is basically handed over to a private lawyer.

Jeffrey Hansen also chose an office building in Burbank as the office location of Firefly Films. Eric took a look and expressed his satisfaction, and the matter was settled.

After a busy day, I came home in the evening. Eric just glanced at it and found that there were more paparazzi nearby. Obviously, they were stimulated by the gossip this morning and wanted to get some valuable news from themselves. .

For these people, Eric can only helplessly pretend not to see.

After having dinner and taking a bath, Eric came to the bedroom wearing loose home clothes, and after thinking about it, he started to write the script of Pretty Woman with the Moon and the Moon. Crisis novel, Eric directly chose to drag it first, anyway, Michael Kraus was used to urging and urging, and Eric also got used to listening to it.

In the next few days, Eric followed Jeffrey busy with the establishment of the film company during the day, and wrote the script at night. He thought that the affair with Drew and Aniston, even the media with ulterior motives, would be fired for a few days. , things will eventually fade away like other celebrity scandals, but who knows that things have a tendency to become more and more troubled, and the trend is becoming more and more obvious.
