Chapter 21 (1/2)

The 17 Again movie previeent very smoothly, both the 20th Century Fox executives, and cinema’s representatives were unaniiving/Christmas period, if Eric hadn’t appeared, the 20th Century Fox was originally planning on releasing the coourney Weaver, on the 23rd of December

Noith 17 Again, their once eave the OK for the movie to be released on November 18th which Eric found very satisfactory He had searched through hismovie that had been released in Noveain If it had been released in Dece movies like Rain Man, Twins or Naked Gun

Near noon, Jaed lasses This was the 20th Century Fox’s head of the Distribution Department, director Carter Hunt Ja Although he had a good relationshi+p with Eric, he wouldn’t go so far as to ask for favors’ on his behalf

“hello, Mr Hunt” Eric shook hands with the man, and the other politely praised Eric’s perforain

However, once Eric explained his intentions to Carter Hunt, the latter immediately refused: “I’m sorry, Eric, this year’s release schedule is already full, we can’t afford to squeeze in a low-budget comedy, I’m really sorry”

The reason was definitely bullshi+t, if theinstead, he was sure that Carter Hunt would be so happy he’d start ju

Although he had been rejected, Eric didn’t give up: “Mr Hunt, please take a look at it at least, I brought a copy, you only need to spend a little uarantee you that this is a great movie”

Carter Hunt shook his head once more A lot of small film companies tried to sell him those kind of stuff on a daily basis, especially now that it was the holidays period, since they lacked a distribution channel, they would constantly seek him out Carter knew that those filet cohteen-year-old, it was just a waste of time

“Eric, you know, I’o back to the headquarters this afternoon to handle the distribution of 17 Again I’m sorry”

Eric was really unwilling and cheekily kept insisting a few times, before Carter Hunt lost his patience and found an excuse to send him away

“Eric, how did it go ?” Penny asked once he returned

Eric shook his head as he wryly s: “Don’t be discouraged, Eric You know,of the ood box office, the one to shoulder the responsibility would be the head of the Distribution Departet that you made that ain, while the hype is still ongoing, I could help you get back so it direct-to-VHS But after that I think you should focus o to waste”

“Thank you, Penny” Eric gratefully said, but his heart was slightly bitter Everyone seeard Home Alone as the experimental film of a rookie, while he just wished he could tie all the people present to their seats, and forcefully make them watch it Unfortunately, this idea would require the help of his old deity friend

He dejectedly went home, since the 20th Century Fox had no interest in his project, he could only try other studios

Aniston was curled up like a cat in the living roo a BBC soap opera When Eric opened the door, she propped her small head up and asked: “Eric, hoas it ?”

Eric ca her back, he said: “The 20th Century Fox rejected it, but it’s okay, I’ll try somewhere else”

Aniston felt Eric’s tone was slightly disheartened, she clung to his waist and lifted her head as she softly said: “You knohat Eric ? Hoets released, they will definitely regret today”

“Ah, baby, you always knohat to say, huh ?” Eric squeezed Annie’s face

They started kissing, but were quickly interrupted by the ringing of the phone after a while Eric who had been about to push Aniston down reluctantly let go of her
