Chapter 916: Golden Rooster
"Really?!Thank you so much!" Andrew was so excited that he almost dropped the phone out, and after a few seconds of excitement, he thought of the second purpose, and suddenly squirmed again: "Director Moran, I still want to ask you one more thing." ”
Lyra laughed, "What's polite? We're going to be working in the same crew for a few months in the future, how can we always be so polite?"
Andrew thought about it, and it was indeed the same truth, but the problem was that he was afraid of her! He felt weak on the phone, and if he said it in person, he probably wouldn't have the courage to say a word in front of her.
"I'm really sorry, so I'll just say it. He coughed dryly, took another deep breath, and then said with the courage of a broken boat: "I want to ask you, do you need a script writer over there?"
Leila didn't understand what he meant for a moment: "Do you have a friend who you want to introduce to me?"
"No! no!" Andrew hurriedly said, "I want to ask you if you accept script writers, and if so, can I apply for an appointment." Leonardo's words to him that day kept echoing in his head that he couldn't even write the script.
That's why when he heard that Lyla had returned from vacation, he immediately called and asked if he had any hope of becoming her subordinate. The last discussion was very beneficial to him, and it was only a few hours. He believes that if he can work by her side, he will definitely be able to go further!
Leila was stunned for a moment, this could be regarded as a surprise. There are several young playwrights in her emerging project, and they have also created good works. And on the Dragon Soul's side, she really needs an excellent script to help her share the work. If it was him, she would have raised her hands to welcome him.
There are a few things to note about his script, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have potential. He had a lot of potential, as he could tell from his performance that day, and he understood what she said almost immediately, and drew inferences from it.
She still has a lot of movies to make in the future, and many of them will make sequels. She certainly won't have time to write scripts for those sequels, so she needs a script writer who can take over to help her continue to write them. This candidate is not so easy to find, first of all, you must have your own style, but also be able to understand the advantages of the previous work, and grasp the context to continue.
"Andrew, are you sure?" she was a little unconvinced of her good fortune. What is this? Sitting at home, there is also a golden rooster that lays golden eggs and smashes it on his head?
It is true that he is not famous now, and none of the scripts he wrote have been filmed, so it can be said that he has the strength or not, and he has not been tested by the market. Maybe the works that are favored by directors and producers are not loved by the audience? In the history of Hollywood, this kind of thing has happened too often. Those stories that were ambitious at the beginning of filming and were like ashes after their release, almost everyone who likes movies can tell several.
Therefore, the best way to test the quality of a script is to judge it by the audience.
Before the release of his work, no matter how good his writing is, no matter how favored by buyers, he will not be regarded as a good writer.
Leila believes him, not only because she read his script and saw a lot of shining points in the script, but also because it has something to do with that Martin director. What if even director Martin admires a newcomer, even if he hasn't been tested by the market? She is glad for all this, because she believes that when "Blood Diamond" is released, he will become a person who will be noticed by the majority of production companies.
If such a person wants to join her company, she can't welcome it, so how can she refuse?
Andrew almost dug out his heart to show her his questions: "Of course it's certain! Director Moran, you are my idol, I want to learn by your side!"
Laila was a little embarrassed to be told by a man who was more than ten years older than herself that she was his idol, but she also clearly felt the sincerity of the other party: "If you are willing to come to my company, of course I am very welcome." ”
"Really?" said Andrew was going to doubt his ears this time. In his mind, what kind of famous writer does a person like Leila want, and there is no need to have any entanglement with a rookie writer like himself. Who knew that she not only agreed, but also agreed so happily.
Did he really hear it right?
Lyra listened to the two words that were shouted over there, and suddenly laughed silently: "Of course it's true, I appreciate your writing ability, otherwise I wouldn't have used your script in the first place." ”
"Thank you, that's my pleasure. And I have too many shortcomings......" Before he finished speaking, Andrew cried and wanted to give himself a slap on the face. What the hell is he talking about? When everyone is willing to accept him, he will bring out his old bottom? Even if there are a bunch of shortcomings, will people not be able to see them?
Leila has not met such a "simple" person for a long time, and when applying for a job, no one behaves impeccably?
"Andrew, there is no one in this world who succeeds easily from the beginning. You can see your own shortcomings, which means you can change them. If you can't even see your own shortcomings, that kind of person is hopeless. ”
She said that, and Andrew couldn't say anything unconfident except in his heart. For her fancies, he vowed to repay her with a better script!
"Director Moran, no, BOSS, I will definitely live up to your expectations and will definitely write a better script!" he wiped his somewhat moist eyes and held back the tears that had not yet overflowed. "This time "Blood Diamond", you just watch me!"
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it. Leila smiled and responded. Then she made an appointment to meet and sign a contract before she hung up the phone.
Recording his phone number in the address book, she couldn't help but chuckle out loud when she looked at it. This is also an interesting person, and signing him in is another potential stock in the company.
"What are you laughing at?" Roy knocked on the door and walked in, just in time to see the smile she hadn't had time to put away.
Leila shook her phone: "I just caught another golden rooster." ”
Roy was confused. "What golden rooster? Did some golden chicken run in?"
Laila laughed out loud at his words, pounced on him in a good mood, pressed him on the sofa and kissed him several times: "It's a golden rooster that lays golden eggs!"
