In the eighties of the 20th century in 1983, people still used desktop phones and wired phones to inform the first wireless mobile phone, "portable cellular telephone" portable cellular telephone, which was just launched by Motorola this year. Go to market.

A "portable cellular phone" (Big Brother phone) is quite expensive, reaching $4,500.

This is not available for Leicester's current economic level, and can only be used to make and receive calls from old-fashioned corded telephones.

"I'm Lester Rolley and I was told to sign the contract. ”

Arriving at Lucasfilm in San Francisco, Lester walked in and was introduced to the reception room.

Lester walked into the reception room and saw George Lucas drinking coffee and chatting with the lawyer next to him.

"Leicester is here, please be seated!

George Lucas pointed to the opposite couch;

"Mr. George. ”

Lester sat across from George Lucas with a look of surprise.

I don't really understand that George Lucas, who has the identities of boss and director, came back to sign a contract with him.

"Why, I'm not welcome to sign a contract with you. ”

George Lucas noticed Lester's look in his eyes and said jokingly;

No... No, "I thought it would be an assistant director or a producer who would sign a contract with me, and it would be my honor for you to sign a contract for me." ”

Lester said hurriedly;

George Lucas took the contract from his lawyer, pushed it in front of Leicester, and explained in passing; I happen to be fine today, so I'll stop by and sign a contract with you, this is your contract, you can take a look. ”

Oh!

Lester came to his senses and picked up the contract and looked at it.

$200,000 in salary,

Lester looked up at George Lucas in surprise when he saw where he was paid.

In Hollywood, as a rookie actor with no works, the salary of 200,000 yuan is completely too high.

"This is what you surprised me at the audition. ”

George Lucas laughed;

Thank you so much!

Lester understood what George Lucas meant, and after reading the contract and finding no loopholes, he picked up a pen and signed his name.

The lawyer next to George Lucas took Lester's signed contract and put it away after George Lucas signed his name.

"Remember, remember to join the group on April 18th. ”

As Leicester was leaving, George Lucas reminded;

Stepping out of Lucasfilm, Lester headed for the restaurant where he used to work, and all he had to do now was quit.

The successful signing of the crew of "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2" made Lester happy, especially the salary of 200,000 US dollars, which is higher than his work as a waiter in a restaurant.

"Old man Joeberg, I'm resigning. ”

Lester walked into the dining room where he had been a waiter, and said goodbye to an old Jewish man at the counter;

"You've got a job. ”

Joeberg wondered;

Lester looked happy, and said in a tone with a fanaticism for film and television: "Yes, I have found a job that I love." ”

I was going to join the crew in 19 days, and I didn't have much time to work in the restaurant, so I had to come to the restaurant to resign.

You're fired, good luck, lad. “

Seeing this, Joeberg could only say helplessly;

"Lend you good words. ”

Lester smiled; Step out of the restaurant and stroll down the streets of West Hollywood.

In the editorial office of Random House, a new round of editorial book selection meetings has begun, and potential manuscripts have been tested and sent to the editorial board, where many editors and editors-in-chief discuss whether they can be published.

Only after a number of editors have negotiated and signed a contract with the author will they be sent to the printing house for printing.

Their meeting was to discuss the issue of whether the Twilight Swilight novel would be published.

More than a dozen editors sat below the editor-in-chief, each with a chapter of Twilight in their hands.

"What do you think of this book "Twilight Twilight". ”

Editor-in-chief Reece Weir put down the manuscript of the chapters of "Twilight in the Twilight Zone" in his hand and looked at the editors below;

"Editor Sandner, are you sure it was written by a 16-year-old, not a 28-year-old?

An editor next to Sandner asked;

The suspense, supernatural and British romance in "Twilight in Twilight" is just right, and it's hard for editors to believe that this can be written by a little doll who has never been in love.

"Sandna, I think you're fooling people, a baby with no hair grows up, can write such a magical work. ”

Sandner's opponent, the Walter editor, was full of ridicule, but in fact he was jealous that Sandner had found something that made people shine.

It can be seen from the looks of the editors that "Twilight of the Twilight Zone" is very optimistic about the editors.

"I'm sure it was written by a 16-year-old, and our Twilight Twilight is just one of the series. ”

Sandner looked as if he hadn't heard the ridicule of the editor of Walter opposite, and his expression was assured;

"The Twilight Series", a series of novels.

There was a silence in the editorial room, and every editor looked at each other, since the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy" and "The Chronicles of Narnia" magic series of novels, there have been some authors who have written against the wind, but none of the magic series can compare with the sales of those two, and this "Twilight: Twilight" is bright at first glance, and it is different from the previous series of novels that follow the trend, and the content in it has a very brilliant place"

"Sandner, did he say that he would give us the Twilight series to publish?

Editor-in-chief Reece Weir pointed out the problem of publishing this "Twilight" series and said suspiciously;

"No, I only took this copy of "Twilight: Twilight" to publish. ”

Sandner shook his head;

The editor-in-chief, Reece Weir, thought about it for a while, decided not to care about anything else, and said decidedly: "Let's see how much this "Twilight of the Twilight Zone" sells, and then ask the author if the rest needs us to publish, and everyone can start grading." ”

"I think this book "Twilight of the Twilight Zone" can give 7 points. ”

Forsk, the senior editor who brought out Sandner, was the first to rate "Twilight: Twilight" in order to get the rest of the editors to score it.

After the senior editor Foske scored it, the rest of the editors also led by Foske to score it, and even the editors who were rivals with Fosk had to score "Twilight in the Twilight Zone".

The editor-in-chief graded the editors, and finally came to the decision, and said to Sandner; "Twilight: Twilight" has a final score of 7.2 points, and the book has been approved for publication, Sandner, you go and inform the author of this book to come to Random House to sign the contract. ”

Be!

Sandner was a little excited, as long as this copy of "Twilight: Twilight" could sell well, he would be able to secure his position as a mid-level editor.
