Chapter 51: The Return (Ask for Collection)
Although he was hired, Jonas still worked part-time.
In the future, Jonas will be responsible for selecting more than ten scripts from the mountain of scripts every year, and whether these scripts will be filmed is another matter.
He doesn't have to go to the office to work, and Fox often has employees who travel to Europe on business and send the script over.
Don't say 83 years, that is, 30 years later, in 2013, such work comfort and such an abundant income are also incomparable to the vast majority of people.
But because of his background, he easily got the position.
I have to say that at any time, having a good dad is better than working a hundred times harder.
Reincarnation is a technical job......
An alliance with Alain Ryder was something that Jonas was unwilling to, but he had no choice, because now, Alain Ryder was the most willing to shoot "The Terminator".
And he has the discerning eye for gold and experience in developing the "Star Wars" series of films, and the "Terminator" series is more exciting in his hands than in the hands of others.
Besides, he is the president of Fox himself, and it is in the interest of Hoffman Bank to keep him in this position at a stage when Fox needs to maintain stability.
Facing Alain Ryder's outstretched hand, Jonas's hand was clasped heavily with him.
Jonas won't be in Los Angeles for long, but Alain Ryder won't let the ally go easily.
After everyone else left, Alain Ryder invited Jonas to his office. "Jonas, do you have any arrangements for the summer vacation? If you start preparing now, by July, the filming of "The Terminator" will be officially on the agenda. I think it would be more beneficial for the filming of the film if you could join us. ”
"I'm not sure, I'm going to learn to drive this summer and I'm going to do military service......"
"Military service?" Alain Ryder patted his forehead and asked, "Is it necessary?"
"At the age of twenty-two, you have to go through eight weeks of training, and thereafter, you have to serve for two weeks a year, or you can serve for several years at once. Before the age of sixty. ”
Alain Ryder asked, somewhat incomprehensibly, "Yannick is the same?"
"Of course, this is the obligation of the Swiss. ”
"Okay. I can only ask you to arrange your own time, and hopefully see you in the summer. You must know that there is no more suitable starring role than you in the movie "Dragon Fist Kid". ”
Jonas shook his head and said, "I'm too tall and too handsome, and I don't fit the image of the main character at the beginning. And I didn't have the idea of being an actor. ”
Alain Ryder smiled and said, "No, Jonas, many times, young people of your age don't fix their image. If you were to star in Daniel, your handsomeness would be enough to cover up all the inconsistencies.
You'll captivate thousands of teenage girls who will cry and scream to climb into your bed. You don't need to be a professional actor, just a role like this is enough, which is more effective than having 10 million dollars in your account. ”
Alain Ryder is indeed a good lobbyist, and Jonas is a little tempted to say it. However, he still did not agree, and this was a choice that was seriously out of line with his plan.
"I'll think it over and give you an answer in the summer. ”
Alain Ryder said: "I will prepare this movie from now on, in addition to you as the male lead, the female protagonist can also be decided by you." Whether it's Brooke Ace or Demi Moore, you can get them to play for you. ”
This movie is much easier to prepare than "The Terminator" because it is a reality film, the story takes place in Los Angeles, and it is enough to shoot in Los Angeles.
And the two candidates he said were both famous beauties in later generations......
Jonas felt that he couldn't stay any longer, Alain Ryder was very good at demagoguery, and if he continued to talk, he couldn't help but agree to the other party.
"Let me think about it. First time on Fox and I would love to see everywhere......"
Alain Ryder didn't press every step and said with a smile: "The third part of "Star Wars" is currently in post-production, and there is also a "Looking for Gems" that has just started filming, and the heroine Catherine Turner is a big beauty, but unfortunately, she is eleven years older than you. ”
In his previous life, Jonas was thirty-seven years old, and he naturally wouldn't be too old for a twenty-nine-year-old woman, and he would feel full of mature womanhood.
It's a pity that he can't show it. For his current status, it would be unseemly to like a woman who is more than three years old to him.
"I'm just getting acquainted with my surroundings, and as for my girlfriend, I'm not lacking right now. ”
Alain Ryder laughed. "Of course, you are handsome enough to attract countless young girls. ”
Led by Michelle, Jonas took a tour of the many studios in the film park in a battery car, and finally visited the museum in the northernmost part of the park.
The museum, which is open to the public, contains almost all of the footage taken by Fox over the past 50 years, as well as some historical film props.
To the east of the museum is a fifteen-storey pyramid-style serviced apartment. "It was a hotel apartment in the park, and a lot of the actors chose to stay there during filming. If you don't want to stay in a hotel when you arrive in Los Angeles, you can also stay there. ”
"Is it safe?"
"Of course. Because there are often big stars staying in there, the security is very strict. ”
"It's good, if I come to Los Angeles during the summer vacation, I'll stay there. ”
Michelle looked at Jonas's expression and asked, "Jonas, I'm sorry that I bothered you last night because I was quick to speak." ”
"There is no need to apologize, in fact, being a star is every young person's dream. For me, though, there are probably a lot of plans to change, so there's not much interest. ”
Jonas looked her in the eye and asked, "Can I believe your words are from the bottom of my heart?"
"Where?"
"Was it a whim or a premeditation to get me to act in the movie?"
"I didn't expect you to be a believer in conspiracy theories......"
"I'm just surprised that a small staff member can't help but interject when the president is talking to a guest. ”
Michelle didn't dodge for a moment, shrugged his shoulders and said, "And this proposal is also in line with the president's desire to win over the guests." ”
"You see, that's it. There is still a lack of trust between us. ”
Michelle was silent for a moment before saying, "I was specifically singled out to be your liaison, and I never spoke to President Ryder before that.
Maybe I care too much about this new job, or maybe it's because President Ryder has made me feel closer to you. That's why I blurted out that sentence last night. ”
Jonas nodded and said, "We will have a long time to communicate in the future, so let time prove the sincerity between us." OK?”
“OK!”
Regardless of which side Michelle is on, Jonas now needs a liaison to keep abreast of the situation on this side.
When he only had one choice, he didn't have a choice.
He is not like Yannick, who is now the largest shareholder trustee of Fox, can interfere in the operation of Fox, and can even directly remove the company's management, so it is easy to win over the inside.
He can only keep a certain distance from Michelle for the time being, but he can't let her lose hope, so that he can gradually win her over.
As long as he doesn't mention replacing Michelle, she shouldn't voluntarily give up this promising job until he graduates college and her missed work deal with Fox expires.
Because no matter how the company changes, it won't affect her.
She is not a little girl anymore, she can easily sort out the relationship between them, and she also knows how to choose.
In the afternoon, Jonas met Cameron and Gallant again, and they were surrounded by a large group of people to negotiate a formal contract.
Jonas did not participate in the negotiations and politely declined Cameron's invitation.
However, the two of them still left each other's phone numbers to facilitate communication on the plot of the movie in the future.
At this time, Cameron learned the identity of Jonas High School, and moreover, he was a high school student in Europe.
Linked to the fact that Fox is now under the name of Hoffman Bank, and Jonas is surnamed Hoffman, Cameron understands why he got the directing power so easily yesterday.
However, aside from some plot settings, Jonas will not get involved in their negotiations.
For him, it doesn't matter how much Fox earns or how much power Cameron gets.
As long as the film is successful and proves Jonas's vision, that's all that matters.
Later on, he resolutely refused Alain Ryder's offer and asked Michelle to take him back to the hotel where he was staying.
For the rest of the time, he was going to be his high school student.
Westlake High School, like Luoshi College, is from seventh grade to twelfth grade, that is, six grades from junior high school to high school.
However, compared to the number of students in Luoshi College, the number of students in Westlake High School is three times larger, and the two campuses have more than 1,000 students.
Jonas had the idea of making friends, and he met many students here, but unfortunately, none of them were "historical celebrities".
At Westlake High School, there was no arrangement for Jonas to have an academic exchange, except for participating in group activities, he only had arrangements for exchanges with the fencing team of Westlake High School.
The result was a big win for him, and the school's fencing team was not at all on the same level as him.
If it weren't for him saving a little face for the other party, he would have won by a big score every time.
This made Jonas more and more satisfied with his fencing skills, and in his opinion, he really had a professional level.
From Los Angeles to Boston on the East Coast, they arrived at Andover Phillips College, known as Harvard Preparatory College.
This year, only three students who applied to Harvard and got it passed came to Boston, of course, mainly because of them.
During the Phillips College exchange, they also organized a trip to Harvard, and they were warmly received by the Harvard Board of Trustees.
As for Massachusetts, I'm sorry that neither school has a single student to apply.
Students at Phillips College value only two schools, one is Harvard and the other is Yale. Universities of science and engineering, if not their own hobbies, have never been favored by these students.
Skills and knowledge, the upper class people should learn knowledge, and the lower class people should learn skills, which is also the general knowledge of people from the upper class in the West.
Because skills are at the service of knowledge, they are to be the ones who manage others, not the ones who are managed.
