Chapter 36: Life at the End of Life
In March, the school has moved from the Gstaad campus back to the main Basil campus.
The Basil campus on the shores of Lake Geneva has a total of eight school buildings, as well as a large sports and recreation centre.
For Ross College, which has less than 300 students in total, if it is not for the cultivation of students' team spirit, even one student in one school building is enough.
Although there is a dormitory for two people, the dormitory has a living room, a bathroom, a storage room, and each dormitory has its own telephone.
You can meet guests in the dormitory and hold small gatherings, which is not comparable to many schools.
There is only one unconscionable rule, and that is that male and female students cannot enter each other's dormitories.
Of course, there is no dormitory at the school, and even if you enter, no one will stop you. However, if this is the case, it means that a person is not disciplined, which will affect his social image and credit evaluation.
So, although there is no dormitory manager, none of the students at the school will break the discipline.
There is no way, Jonas's date with Teresa can only be done in public. I can, but if you want to get closer, you can't.
Jonas and Theresa are thrown into the final revelry of their imminent breakup, and they can't be separated for a moment. Of course, the main thing is that Theresa is more obsessed.
Her father was a rock singer who divorced her mother long ago and is still active on stage.
However, although he is very romantic, he is not that kind of scumbag, as early as when Teresa was a child, he gave her a three-story townhouse in London, about 500,000 pounds of assets, and 20,000 pounds of living expenses a year.
Her mother was a modest model, but after the divorce, she founded her own fashion brand and an art center, and she was a strong woman.
Although her mother started her own family, she did not have any more children. This fashion brand, including the art center, will be hers in the future, so she was cultivated as the heir to the art center.
She applied to Arts and Humanities at University College London, which is ranked first in the UK.
And there are many artists who attend this school, which is convenient for the development of future careers.
Both of them know very well that after entering college, it is difficult to maintain a relationship, and before parting, of course, it is necessary to enjoy every moment to the fullest.
"Jonas, help me write an economic paper, you know, I'm an idiot ...... know about it."
I was about to make a tour, but the students were still being weighed down by the homework assigned by the teacher.
There was still a month to go before the visit, and the teacher asked each student to write three short essays.
The three papers are art, economics, and social humanities. There is no limit to the dissertation, any topic and direction is acceptable.
But there is a requirement, that is, you must be able to pass the teacher's review.
Because all of these papers are to be published in a book, and printed as a journal to be exchanged during the visit. And forty students, during their visit to eleven schools, each of them had to arrange speeches, debates with sister schools.
Of course, how to arrange it also depends on each person's strengths, in a school with a strong artistic atmosphere, of course, it is the students with artistic specialties who show up, and when it comes to academically rigorous high schools, of course, it is the students with good grades who show up, and everyone is indispensable.
On the one hand, it is for the school to exercise students' speech, debate, and social skills, and on the other hand, it is also to expand students' social circle and expand the influence of the school.
An essay of no more than three thousand words is nothing to Jonas. Just around the economic performance of countries where the economic crisis has gradually passed, he can write more than a dozen articles casually.
Anyway, the rigor of their high school students' essays is not that high at all, as long as the basic data is not wrong, and what they say is reasonable.
"I can write the essay for you, but how are you going to repay me?"
Theresa was a little puzzled, and asked rhetorically, "Are you paid?"
"Of course not...... money," Jonas smiled and touched her red lips with his thumb. "What you refused to do last time......"
Theresa understood, blushing. "Bad guys, take advantage of people's danger......"
I wanted to tease this little beauty again, but the radio in the school rang. "Jonas Hoffmann, there are visitors at the East Gate......"
The broadcast repeated twice, and Theresa asked curiously, "Who is looking for you?"
Jonas paused for a moment before he sighed, "The beauty is wrong, and I almost forgot what I was doing." Do you want to come with me?"
"Who is looking for you?"
"Head of Administration of the Family Bank, Osberg. ”
Theresa had no interest in an old man in his fifties, shook his head and said, "Go ahead, I still have to write an essay outline." ”
Last night, he received a call from Osberg saying that he was going to send him a script, and that he had a date with Theresa today, and forgot about it.
Osberg was afraid that his phone calls to his dormitory would not be answered, so he had to come to him on the radio.
It wasn't a long way from their study room to the East Gate, and a few minutes later, Jonas met Osberg, who had come from the East Gate.
Jonas apologized first: "Osberg, I'm sorry, I should be waiting for your call in the dormitory. ”
"It's okay, Jonas, you'll only be on this campus anyway. Osberg smiled and pointed to the two suitcases he had brought with him and said, "Everything is here, because most of the scripts have not been determined and are in the confidentiality period, so please don't spread them at will." ”
Ross College is a boarding school, and from Monday to Saturday, students are not allowed to leave the campus except for school activities.
"Of course, I understand that. But...... So much?"
"Every year, Fox collects thousands of scripts through various channels, but less than one percent of them are filmed. And that's just part of the screening. ”
Jonas looked at the two boxes and asked, "Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"
"Except for the secrecy system, the rest is up to you, even if you burn them all, it doesn't matter. ”
Jonas was also raised by Osberg, so the two didn't need to be too polite. These scripts were given to Jonas, and Osberg's mission was completed.
The two men exchanged a few words, and Osberg handed Jonas a note with a person's name and a phone number on it.
"This is a liaison to Fox's investment and production department, and if you have any comments on the script, you can communicate directly with her. ”
"Transatlantic call?" Jonas asked, "Don't you have any other ways to contact you?"
Osberg smiled, "Aren't you going to the United States next month? ”
"Okay. 'Jonas is well aware that he is not being taken seriously at the moment and that this is more a test of Markridge than a genuine belief in his ability.
But it didn't matter, he saw it as a pleasure rather than a job anyway.
"Jonas, do you need my help?"
It was the school's goalkeeper Maldini, who is not only the namesake of the future star Maldini, but also Italian.
Jonas tested the weight, and the two boxes were all filled with paper, each box was about twenty or thirty pounds, which was nothing to him.
"Thanks, Maldini, I can do it myself. ”
He nodded, focusing on the radio beside him again. There was criticism of the golden boy Rossi on Italian radio, believing that after winning the World Cup last year, Rossi lost his aggressiveness and is now a burden to Juventus.
Then the two security guards started arguing again because of Rosie's state.
Jonas smiled and walked to his dorm room with the suitcase.
There was very little entertainment in this era, and almost everyone was a fan. Jonas was a pseudo-fan in both his previous life, he was busy with affairs in his previous life, and he was busy with studies in this life.
However, he still has some foundation and hobbies for football. Jonas had fantasized about being the savior of the Swiss team, but of course, it was just a young daydream, and he didn't have the foundation to become a top star.
But now, Jonas has the foundation to be a midfield barrier, and the energy is not focused on that.
Dinah and another classmate, Rama, came the princess of a certain oil country, but there are thousands of princesses in their country, and she is a princess who is a little unworthy of the name.
Dinah saw Jonas carrying two suitcases, and saw that he was almost at the dormitory, and did not offer help. "Jonas, what are you going to do for the prom?"
"I haven't figured it out yet, but if I can, I'll be a musician for the troupe. ”
Jonas used to be able to perform solo performances on piano and violin, but now, due to coordination, the level has dropped dramatically.
It is no problem to be proficient in all the skills of Jonas, such as sailing, horseback riding, and football.
But in his previous life, he couldn't play the piano, and now he has this skill, and it also needs a lot of practice.
But now, he doesn't have the time, and he doesn't have the interest.
Rama said, "Jonas, my brother is going to give me a prom in Geneva, can I invite you to it?"
"Of course. Rama, we're classmates. ”
She smiled. "Then when the time is set, I will invite you officially. ”
Separated from them, Jonas returned to the dormitory with two suitcases. In Kostler's absence, Jonas opened the box in the living room, which was full of A4 bound scripts.
Finding the index, Jonas looked at it carefully. There are about 180 scripts here, all of which have been pre-audited.
However, to Jonas's regret, all the scripts were clean and there was no evaluation of the content, and he had no idea what Fox had to say about these scripts.
Of course, he knew that it was Fox who didn't let their opinion affect Jonas's opinion, but because he didn't understand the market, he didn't know what format to use to evaluate the script!
While complaining that the other party didn't even give him an evaluation template, he looked for a familiar name in it.
One hundred and eighty scripts, in which he found only a few familiar names, but because he couldn't remember the box office of these movies, it was almost useless.
Jonas had a headache, he felt that he had thought too simply. Not to mention the selection, just these 180 scripts, after reading them all, when are you going to see it!
