"I can't understand your confidence in the movie doing well," William said looking at me.
"Well, you did a wonderful job in your acting," Williams's mother says with a smile on her face.
Nodding, "I just have a feeling that you'll be surprised by the outcome, just remember the advice I gave you earlier," I said giving a fist bump.
"Hey Eren," I turn around and see Brian, Veronica, and Uncle walking up to us along with Buster coming up and sitting next to my leg.
"Eren how much do you think the movie is going to make," Brian says giving Buster a pet.
"I'd say over 500 million," a look of shock was shown on everyone's face. Some thought he was crazy for thinking the movie would do that well, and others started to feel he was a bit too overconfident and cocky.
Cracking a smile, "Ok how about a bet if it does, I want to hand the CEO position of the company to you," again shock was on everyone's faces for how daring I was being. Some faces also showed confusion as Eren had just got given the CEO position.
"What do you mean Eren you just got the company," said Uncle with a worried look on his face.
"Ow don't worry I still want control over the company but I'm going to be creating a company that oversees my companies," I said with a mischievous grin plastered on my face.
Surprise was still on everyone's face but the first to break that smile was Mr. Anderson. "I understand you looking towards the future, bigger and better things. You're very ambitious son."
"You taking the bet uncle?" I said with a challenging look on my face.
Seeing no reason to say no, "I look forward."
Everyone else around us started to feel awkward because I and Uncle were just staring at each other in a challenging way in our own world smiles stuck to our faces with our greed encompassing the whole world.
"Well, we better get this show on the road, shouldn't we," Mr. Anderson said while looking around us.
As the crowd of people coming in died down and people started to take their seats, Mr. Anderson walked up to the front of the theater. Giving a fake cough he began, "Welcome everyone hope you all made It hear safe. I won't take up any more of your time, enjoy the movie." With everyone seated the lights dimmed till the theater was black, and the screen lit up.
Critics POV…
As the movie started the company name and the director's name were shown on the screen.
'Eren Wayne; must be a new director I haven't heard of them before. I doubt this movie will be any good with such an unknown director.'
'Interesting so Constellations has partnered with a new director.'
'Eren Wayne, I think I remember that name from somewhere.'
'DreamHigh I thought they were going under.'
Eren Wayne POV…
Throughout the movie, I was in the back of the theater looking at the reactions of everyone while petting Buster. Laughter found everyone's face in the theater at some point during the movie. From start to finish, nobody looked to be dozing off, in fact, some people were leaning forward in their chairs. Observing everything brought a smile to my face. As the final scene ended and the credits rolled the lights were turned on again and to my surprise, people started to clap their hands.
Walking back up to the front of the room Mr. Anderson addressed the crowd, "Glad you all enjoyed the movie now I'm sure nobody recognized the director as this is his first film so let me introduce him. Everyone Eren Wayne."
With a deep breath, I stand up and walk up to the front of the room, "I would like to thank you all for coming tonight and watching my film."
Critics POV…
'Jesus he's so young.'
'I'll have to watch out for future projects from this guy.'
'Wow he's good looking & that's by Hollywood standards.'
'This guy will get mowed down by Hollywood.'
Eren POV…
"Took keep it short I am really grateful to everyone who helped me with creating this film to William, the cast, Brian & his crew thank you and I can't wait to start the next project." When I finished everyone wanted to ask questions but the main one was 'who is Eren Wayne'. However, nobody got to ask that question as Veronica, Brian, Uncle, Buster, and I left and went home.
After we left the driver dropped Uncle and Brian off at their house and then drove to ours. Once Veronica, Buster, and I got home I fed Buster and went to bed without checking the reviews since I was beaten.
Veronica POV...
Watching the movie in theaters I was laughing the whole time and left with a satisfied smile. 'The film was amazing and while that 500 million benchmark may seem ridiculous it may not be so far-fetched. I wonder what the book he is writing will be about or what movie he will do next.'
Buster POV…
"Ruff"
(What the dog doing)
Next Day…
When I woke up, I was not surprised to see 20 missed calls since the review for the film should be out, and I haven't checked in with anyone since then. Getting up and getting dressed I looked at my phone to look at the reviews. The reception was immensely positive but what surprised me was how much my name and past were being mentioned in the reviews and how the hashtag #WhoIsErenWayne is trending. Since I didn't have any social media presence all the hype went towards DreamHigh Studios.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great film, a mix of great entertainment, a little suspense, and a whole lot of fun. Looking forward to what Eren Wayne and DreamHigh will come up with next. #HomeAlone
⭐⭐⭐⭐✩
The film is perfect for any family and is a lot of fun to watch. Eren Wayne is an unknown director with a tragic background. #WhoIsErenWayne
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
When I looked up Eren Wayne I was surprised by his history however despite that he still moved forward to make Home Alone a film that made me feel like a child all over again. #HomeAlone #WhoIsErenWayne
⭐⭐⭐✩✩
Not my cup of tea however I can definitely see the appeal that this film will have with children and families for Christmas. However, didn't have much to do with the family aspect of Christmas. #HomeAlone
⭐⭐⭐⭐✩
Sad to hear about the Wayne family however I loved the film and will definitely see this with my family around Christmas. #WhoIsErenWayne #HomeAlone
⭐⭐✩✩✩
Had nothing to do with Christmas and conveys the idea that the main character's family doesn't care about him at all. #HomeAlone
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Reminded me of everything that I wanted to do as a child and made me feel excited to go home and spend time with my children. Will definitely be seeing this with my family. #HomeAlone
'Overall the reviews are very positive from the critics which will give a boost to the initial turnout of the movie. The trailer has been doing well as well, I could possibly do an interview on MeTube for William to increase popularity. After opening the word of mouth will carry the film across the US and social media which will fuel the reception overseas when the film gets released.'
