CHAPTER 36 – *SPOILER*

Everyone was relishing in Penny Marshall's explanation, and when they heard the last question, they involuntarily turned towards Eric.

Now Eric's reputation was even higher than some of the most well-known directors. A lot of people thought that as long as the youth was filming a movie, even if it was bad, he could just rely on his current fame to earn investors' money. In fact, this was also why Barry Diller had agreed to Eric's conditions.

"I've written several good scripts, but I haven't decided which to start with." Eric told the truth, he had wanted to shoot a movie that would push Aniston to fame, but the girl had refused, so now he was considering shooting something else first.

Several good scripts....

Some people heard that and their mouths started to twitch. Scripts weren't rare, there were a lot of scriptwriters after all, but finding good scripts was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Many directors had to wait several years in order to get their hands on a good script, and once they did they would go in a frenzy.

But you said you have several of them ? How were people supposed to feel ?!

"Oh wow, Eric, several scripts, huh ? How about you give us a sample ?" Penny Marshall said, her tone held a fourth of ridicule and three fourth of envy.

When Eric saw everyone's faces, he realized he had a slip of the tongue, he didn't mean to sound cocky at all, he had just said it casually, "Penny, with 17 Again being your second movie about to break the 200 million mark, you're saying you're in lack of good scripts ?"

Eric was telling the truth, this year, the number of movies who could break 100 million throughout the year at the box office were no more than ten, for Penny Marshall to continuously make two of them, many movie companies were sure to try and snatch her away.

Although Penny was subtly rejected, she didn't mind, she really didn't lack any, and the topic was soon changed to other topics. They chatted for a bit, and when the band started to play a new piece, Penny laughed: "Well, Eric, we won't keep you any longer, there's so many girls waiting to invite you to dance."

Eric looked up and glanced around; sure enough, several beauties were eyeing him eagerly. Drew's arms unconsciously tightened around his.

"So be it. Ah right, Tom, would you give me your contact information ? Perhaps we might have the opportunity to co-operate in the future."

Tom Hanks was about to leave, when he heard Eric, he pulled out a business card and smiled: "Sure, no problem, there's a lot of ways to contact me on the card. Eric, could I first know a bit about the plot ?"

The people near them heard Tom Hanks and started to slow down their pace, they wanted to hear what Eric would say next.

Eric calmly collected the card, watched the crowd full of anticipation, shrugged and said: "I apologize Tom, I can only tell you that you would play an officer of some sorts, but I'm not sure if this movie will be welcomed easily, so it won't be my second movie as a director, it will probably be the third."
