I'm in Hollywood

Chapter 262: Here You Go



Chapter 262: Here You Go

Donald heard Eric's words and a flash of inspiration crossed his mind, but he couldn't catch it, and quickly asked, "Eric, what do you mean?"

Eric said, "I mean that your financing direction is wrong. According to the data collected by my people, the funds borrowed from banks alone for your several projects have already exceeded 1 billion US dollars. If your project is stopped and failed, the biggest loss is the bank. So you should try to persuade the bank to continue to lend you money instead of trying to introduce other investors in the current situation."

"Eric, I really don't know how to thank you," Donald Trump patted Eric's shoulder gratefully and suddenly stuffed the little girl who was sitting on his leg into Eric's arms: "This is for you."

Eric was stunned by Donald's sudden action and received the little girl, who was frightened. He thought to himself that this was too precious. He had to take care of her and could only see her but not... Well, okay.

Donald Trump immediately said, "Eric, sorry, I have to go back to the company to hold a meeting about this right away. I've wasted four months. Four months! I can't waste any more time, so can you help me take Ivanka to her mother?"

Eric nodded quickly.

Seeing that Eric nodded, Donald Trump turned around and left without looking back. A moment later, the empty hall was left with only Eric and the little girl in his arms.

Looking at the door that stopped swinging, Eric retracted his gaze and gently pinched Ivanka's face, joking, "Ivy. Did you hear that? Your dad gave you to me, come back to Los Angeles with me."

Eric's pinch of the face woke up the little girl, she clenched her fists and hammered Eric a few times, angrily saying, "Hey, how annoying, I said not to pinch people's faces." After saying this, she broke away from Eric's embrace, still glaring at Eric angrily.

Eric still smiled and said: "Okay. Ivanka, let's go. Let's find your mom."

Ivanka subconsciously nodded, but then she remembered something and said: "Um, Eric, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Eric became interested and asked: "What is it?"

"I've recently started learning acting and I joined the school's drama club. Everyone says I'm making progress quickly." Seeming to remember something proud, the little girl's face was flushed, and she continued: "Eric, Dad always says you're a great director. How about I act in one of your movies?"

Oh, this won't be easy, Eric said in a drawn-out voice, "lots of people are fighting to be in my movie, and you won't even let me pinch your cheek, why should I agree to you?"

Little Lori of course couldn't tell Eric was joking, she widened her eyes in anger and glared at Eric for a few seconds, seeing that Eric had no intention of backing down, she hesitated a bit before closing her eyes and bringing her cheek close to Eric as if she had made up her mind, and in a voice that seemed to accept her own fate, said, "just a pinch, not too hard."

Eric looked at Ivanka's rosy cheek and a sense of guilt arose in his heart, he lifted his hand but immediately put it down, surrendering, "okay, no need to pinch, I agree".

Hearing that she didn't have to endure 'torture', Ivanka didn't bother to be polite to Eric, she quickly jumped to the side and said in a soft voice, "you just agreed, don't go back on your word".

"Of course not," Eric nodded, "but Ivanka, if you want to act in a movie, you still need your parents' approval."

Ivanka immediately gave Eric an eye roll: "You're so stupid, they wouldn't have sent me to the performance class if they didn't agree."

Eric thought about it and it seemed that it was indeed like this. In the previous life, Donald Trump didn't even oppose his 16-year-old daughter running to become a model, let alone being an actor. The model circle was much more chaotic than Hollywood.

However, as soon as she got her way, she immediately started to mock. This sassy little girl was really too much!

Eric hummed twice, thinking of an excuse to fight back the little girl, when the door to the screening room suddenly opened and a man wearing a staff uniform from the movie theater ran in. Seeing Eric, he immediately relaxed and said: "Mr. Williams, you're here. The premiere is starting in two minutes, everyone is waiting for you."

"Oh, I'm coming right away," Eric said to the staff. Without any time to argue with the little girl, he stood up and said: "Come on, Ivy, let's go watch the movie."

Ivanka nodded, jumped off the couch, and politely grabbed Eric's hand, following him towards the screening room.

......

The McCallister family is off on another trip, and this time Kevin, although not left behind, accidentally gets on a plane to New York. At the same time, two bumbling robbers, Harry and Marv, also escaped from prison and arrived in New York, no longer targeting residential homes, but rather the seemingly easier to rob toy store. After booking a hotel in Central Park, Kevin goes out for a stroll and runs into the two bumbling robbers again at Duncan's Toy Store, and thus begins another laugh-out-loud story.

To be honest, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York is rather rich in plot, with a lot of side stories such as the pigeon lady in Central Park and the greedy hotel concierge, but there's not much innovation in the bridge. But this sequel isn't completely without any changes. Compared to the entirely kid-oriented first movie, this sequel adds some adult elements. At the beginning, Kevin quotes his uncle's obscure adult joke. Then there were two clashes between the robbers and the modern girl, as well as many funny lines from the young bumbling robber Marv, which are all humorous bridges targeted at adults.

After the movie screening ended, Eric received loud cheers and congratulations from many people.

After the premiere party, Eric drove Aniston to the Trump Palace in Manhattan, with his mother in the back seat, as Donald Trump had rushed away and taken the car with him, so he probably wouldn't think of sending a car to pick up his wife and daughter, so Eric had to personally take them back.

"Sorry for the trouble, Mr. Williams," Eric and Aniston only stayed at the Trump Palace for a while before they left, and Ivanka Trump personally sent them off.

"That's alright, Mrs. Trump, if there is nothing else, we'll be on our way."

Ivanka Trump was about to nod when Ivanka, who had been standing by, pulled at her mother's sleeve immediately: "Mom, movie, movie."

"Oh, that..." Ivanka Trump was embarrassed and a bit irritated with her daughter's behavior, looking at Eric.

Eric looked at the little girl's expectant face and said: "Mrs. Trump, if you and Donald agree, I'll try to get Ivanka to be an extra in one of my movies in the future."

"That's really very grateful of you, Mr. Williams." Ivanka said. Being a model, she had the same longing as most models for the acting industry, and Donald Trump's ambition was even stronger. If possible, the couple wouldn't be against Ivanka showing up in Eric's movie.

Due to Aniston needing to hurry back to Los Angeles to shoot the last few episodes of the first season of Friends and Eric having a lot of things to do, the two left New York the next day and returned to Los Angeles.

After the premiere, on November 17th, Donald Trump's Home Alone 2: Lost in New York was officially released. Due to the Thanksgiving Dead period, Fox heavily promoted the movie, but Home Alone 2's reputation was not as good as Home Alone, which was released earlier. The media's reviews of the movie were polarized, with some praising it strongly and some criticizing it harshly.

The New York Post wrote about Home Alone 2: Lost in New York: "Too many sequels are subject to the same criticism, only because fans love them so much, because their expectations are too high, so they cough more. But Home Alone 2 fully deserves fans' wait for a year. Although some people say it is a copy without any improvement, the sequel is more full and interesting than the first one. As for it being a 'copy', this is inevitable. If Kevin didn't trap the two stupid thieves, would Home Alone still be Home Alone?"

The Hollywood Online, representing a number of newspapers, fiercely criticized, "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, produced by William, is a sequel without any sincerity. The plot is repetitive, the plot is inexplicable and illogical, even more unbearable is that the movie for 6-12 year old children is full of unbearable adult jokes. I think this is definitely a huge mistake of the movie rating committee. Home Alone 2 should at least be rated PG-13, not PG."
