CHAPTER 17 – TEMPORARY CREW

Back on the 17 Again set, Eric kept thinking too much about the Home Alone matter, and made a lot of mistakes during the shooting, but probably because the end was near, Penny Marshall's temper was surprisingly good, and she patiently kept correcting him.

Eric had even thought of seeking help from her but quickly dismissed the idea. Penny was the equivalent of the 20th Century Fox. Such a huge film company would obviously be able to see the potential of his low budget Christmas comedy and try to be a part of it. This was something Eric didn't want to see happening.

After thinking about it for a while, he was finally reminded of a certain loli. Even after going through hard times, she was still able to make a comeback. Whether it was a producer, a director or a child star, they had one thing in common: connections.

Don't just think of Drew as a thirteen-year-old girl, with that kind of personality, her social network couldn't be underestimated, at least she wouldn't have a problem helping him put a small team together.

October 9th, 17 Again's filming was finally over, and Eric got his 500,000 $ paycheck.

Thus, he began working non-stop on his next plan.

......

"Eric, where are we going ?" Aniston who was sitting in the passenger's seat asked curiously.

Eric pulled out the Home Alone script from his bag, and said: "Take a look at this first."

Aniston looked at the name, surprised: "Oh wow, Home Alone ? Is that your new script ?"

"Um." Eric nodded, then started the car and said: "I intend to shoot the film myself."

"What ? Eric, you're not kidding right, do you even know where the camera's power button is ?"

"I do. By the way, I want to become a director, not a cameraman." In his past, he had stayed in that circle for so many years, when it came to directing, he knew just about everything.

"Alright then, you still haven't told me where we're going though ?"

Eric hesitated for a bit but still said: "We're going to see Drew."

"Humph!"

"Annie, I brought you so that you wouldn't have any misunderstandings."

"Humph!"

"I need Drew to help me find some professionals, she might be young but she knows a lot of people."

"Humph!"

Eric sighed, parked on the roadside, unfasten his seatbelt and said: "It seems that today I'll first have to convince a jealous little girl."

......

"You understand, right ? You have no reason to feel like this. Let's go now."
