I’m in Hollywood

Kapoor pinpointed the time very accurately, and it was 4:20 in the afternoon when he arrived at the Hilton Hotel. Twenty minutes before the guests arrive, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony will begin at 5:00 p.m. Western time.

The waiting area for the guests was already full of people, chatting in groups of three or five, Eric glanced at random, and saw Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Sigourney Weaver, these past lives. The unattainable celebrity.

As the most popular young man in Hollywood in the past six months, there are not many people present who don't know Eric. No matter whether they have seen him before, once their eyes meet, the other party will greet Eric with a friendly nod.

Walking all the way, I soon came to the guest waiting area of ​​Home Alone. Perhaps it was specially arranged by the organizer. The two crews of Home Alone and Back to Seventeen were next to each other.

Eric thought about it for a while, but went to the Return to Seventeen crew first and said hello to Penny Marshall, Susan Sarandon and others. Drew knew that Eric would have some After socializing, he consciously released Eric and stayed in the crew of Return to Seventeen.

Compared with other crews, the crew of Home Alone seemed a bit deserted. Jeffrey was in New York, and the two actors who played the stupid thief were both out for filming. In addition, they were not nominated, so they didn't rush back to Los Angeles.

By the way, Matthew Perry was signed by WMA first. Although Matthew is young, he is much more experienced in dealing with people than the Langkers. During Christmas, Eric held a banquet at home, and Matthew specially He came back from out of town to participate, and also expressed his willingness to play the stupid thief Ma Wen again to Eric, and the salary and the like can be negotiated.

In contrast, the performance of the Runkels really disappointed Eric.

Hi, Charlieson, Mary, good afternoon. Turning to the Home Alone crew, Eric still smiled and shook hands with the Ronkers. The Langkels looked radiant at this time. The media had previously focused their attention on their son. This was the first time the couple had walked to the front of the stage.

Hello, Eric. The couple smiled and shook hands with Eric, but the emotions in their eyes were a bit complicated. During this time, someone had given them a lot of eye drops, which made the couple feel sorry for Ai. Rick's senses got worse.

Eric didn't care about this, and was about to squat down to greet Stuart Runkel, who was standing beside his parents and looked at him happily when a voice interjected abruptly: Mr. Williams, we meet again. already.

Only then did Eric notice that the middle-aged man who had been standing beside the Lankers and his wife just now was the CAA gold medal broker Horner Wiley, who had met once before.

Thinking of CAA's broker system, the reason why Horner Wiley appeared here must be one of Little Stu's brokers. However, he still frowned a little. The last meeting between the two of them could be said to have broken up. Horner Willie came here specially for such a situation today. It is self-evident that the purpose is to demonstrate to himself.

Glancing coldly at Horner Willie's outstretched hand, Eric said blankly, Hello, Mr. Willie, I'm also very happy to meet you.

Eric said this, but there was no hint of happiness in his tone. Horner Willie was very satisfied with Eric's response, and withdrew his hand with a smile, without any embarrassment.

Today, this kind of thing didn't need him, the gold medal agent, to handle it, but he still made a trip in person. Last time Eric's rejection was a direct blow to his face. The reason why he appeared here was to make this young man recognize the reality again. Stuart Runkel is already an artist under CAA.

If he wanted to shoot Home Alone 2, he had to bow his head to CAA.

However, Horner Willie took Eric's simple displeasure as a guilty conscience, saw Eric bent over and picked up Stuart Runkel, stepped forward and said, Mr. Williams, Stuart is me now. Clients, you need to talk to me about anything, it's almost useless to talk to a child.

Eric swept up and down Horner Willie's meticulous hairstyle and neat clothes, smiled, and whispered in Stuart's ear: Stu, you hate him too, right? Will you spit?

Stewart Runkel's sly bright eyes rolled, looked around, and turned quickly to Horner Wiley.

Pooh--

what!

Horner Wiley screamed, glared at Eric and Stewart fiercely, looked at the saliva on the suit in disbelief, and quickly took out the square scarf from his pocket, but looked at his chest in horror and didn't dare. Start.

Charlieson Runkel hurriedly moved forward to wipe Horner Willie: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Willie.

Mary Lanker glanced at Eric displeasedly, but she didn't dare to get angry with Eric. She could only say to Stuart, Stu, apologize to Uncle Willie.

Stuart was hugged by Eric, as if he had found support, ignoring his mother's voice and pouting his head to the side.

Okay, Stu, do you want to meet a big star? I'll take you to meet Mr. Tom Hanks.

Eric didn't want to pay attention to the three people behind him, and walked towards the Flying Beyond the Future crew with Stewart in his arms.

Stewart's tone was a little proud: Eric, I'm also a big star now.

How does it feel to be a big star? Eric asked with a smile.

Stewart lowered his face and shook his head: It's not good at all, I thought that after I could make a lot of money, my parents would be able to reconcile, but they quarreled more often than before, and my father asked him to say goodbye. woman.

Eric stopped and looked at the seven-year-old precocious boy in his arms: Stu, how do you know all this, didn't your parents carry you behind their back when they did this?

Stewart shook his head: If it wasn't for me, they would have been divorced long ago. The reason why they are still together is because they are not confident that they can win my custody.

Stu, do you understand the meaning of the terms you just said? Eric asked hesitantly.

You'll know what it means after listening to it a few times, Eric, my dad took me to test my IQ some time ago, Stu said, and whispered close to Eric's ear: 177 Oh, Dad is very excited, Originally wanted to tell reporters, but that Horner Wiley said it was to be kept secret, that no topic could be created during this time, and then Dad didn't reveal it.

Eric sighed while holding a little pervert in his arms, and sneered at Horner Willie's trick again. The other party did this because he didn't want to raise the topic of Home Alone, which was still being shown. Just the box office. However, with the current fame of Home Alone, this kind of icing on the cake is optional.

When he came to the crew of Flying Beyond the Future, Eric put down little Stu and hugged Tom Hanks.

Tom glanced at Horner Willie, who had hurried away in a car not far away, with a schadenfreude in his tone: Eric, what you did just now was really cruel, Horner Willie has a serious cleanliness addiction, little boy. A slobber from a guy can make him miserable for a week.

Eric had a wicked smile on his face, and he saw this from Horner Willie's dress and behavior, and made Stewart do it. Although it was a bit vulgar, it was very relieved. Horner Wiley will definitely be restless in the next few days, a little more serious, and it is not impossible to leave a shadow.

Tom, do you know Horner Wiley?

Tom Hanks nodded: Of course, Eric, I am also a client of CAA. But many people don't like him. Horner Wiley used to be okay. CAA has grown stronger and stronger in recent years. ... Tom said here, stopped talking and shook his head.

Eric suddenly said: I almost forgot about this, Tom, my relationship with CAA is not very good now. If you are invited to participate in the next film, you will not refuse it, right?

Tom Hanks laughed: Of course not, as long as the script is good enough.

Eric certainly understands that a movie star of Tom's level has little control over the agency. There were a lot of jokes in the words just now.

The two chatted for a while, and Stewart took Eric's hand innocently, took out a small notebook from his pocket, and greeted those movie stars who had an impression in his mind to sign autographs.

Although a lot of people saw the little guy spitting just now, no one cared, at least on the surface, no one showed it. In terms of wrist, although Stewart was the youngest, he was 80% on the field. star. So everyone smiled and signed their names on Stewart's little book.

Several female stars who are full of motherhood also picked up the boy and kissed him hard, leaving a few bright red lip prints on Little Stu's face.

After leading Stuart around for a while, the staff reminded the guests that it was time for admission. Eric returned the boy to the Runkels, found Drew, and waited for the staff to remind him to enter the award hall.
