Chapter 285: The Next Lucas (Part I)

When they met, Kate found out that she was in love with Lin Mingyang, Winston had a daughter, who looked like she was in her thirties, slightly chubby, with long curly hair neatly coiled behind her head, and her skin was very fair, but there were a few obvious freckles around her nose, and in general, the appearance of this woman named Lisa could only be regarded as ordinary.

Unlike her own father, who is obsessed with movies, Lisa is a veterinarian, and in her own words, her life has basically nothing to do with movies, with the exception of all things related to her father.

After picking up Lisa on the side of the road, the group drove to Winston, and mentioned in his will that he wanted his daughter to recommend Lin Mingyang's guy to live.

Lisa and the man were only acquaintances, "He shares my father's passion for special effects in movies, and both of them like to tinker with models, and they have a good conversation on the subject..."

"A special effects producer who can talk to Mr. Winston so speculatively should be well-known in Hollywood... But I had never heard of this Mr. Barus. Lin Mingyang went through all the candidates in his mind, and finally determined that he really didn't know that guy.

"To me, Barrus was a bombastic and flashy guy, but my father always thought he had creative ideas... But Barrus must have had a very bad time, he used to borrow money from my father, and my father would lend him when the amount was small, and he would come once or twice once in a while to repay it, because the amount was not large, so we didn't care. ”

According to Lisa's description, Lin Mingyang roughly sketched the image of a talented, embarrassed, and unambitious middle-aged man in his mind, the only thing that puzzled him was that since Winston recognized this Barrus's talent, why did he not recommend the other party to him until after his death?

"Because some of his ideas even my father thinks are exaggerated, when my father was alive, he always said that only crazy people dare to use crazy people..."

Lisa sat awkwardly in the back seat, but luckily there was a Kate sitting next to her. Kate patted Lisa on the shoulder and said with a smirk, "I think Mr. Winston's analogy is really apt for some people."

Lin Mingyang doesn't mind being called a "crazy person", he has always believed that only crazy people can succeed, this statement can be regarded as a compliment to some extent, and what he really cares about is how "crazy" that Barus is.

Probably thinking that she had almost introduced the situation about Barus, Lisa became much more silent on the rest of the road, and only when she approached her destination did she remind her in a loud voice: "Turn left at the intersection ahead, and the apartment that Barrus rents is at the second door on the left side of the street." ”

There was a temporary parking space for cars on the side of the road in the apartment, and Lin Mingyang's car had not yet stopped, and a tall and thin man staggered out of the apartment and fell directly on the road. Lin Mingyang's eyes quickly stepped on the brakes, and the car stopped less than 10 centimeters away from the person, and several people in the car were scared into a cold sweat.

The strange thing is that the guy who fell down didn't realize that he had just brushed shoulders with death, after he fell to the ground, he swooped up like a spring and bounced up, rolled up his cuffs and looked like he was trying to find someone, and rushed into the apartment gatehouse angrily, only to hear a few muffled sounds inside, and the thin man who had just rushed in was embarrassed to "roll" out again, and then an obese middle-aged woman walked out of the apartment gatehouse.

Ignoring the surprised gazes of the surrounding visitors, she viciously made a fist gesture to the tall and thin man crawling on the ground, and her sharp broken voice matched with a high voice shook the ears of the people around her.

"You listen to me, if you don't pay off the rent for half a year, I'll throw all your broken things in the trash can."

The tall and thin man lying on the ground should have been hurt this time, and he couldn't get up for a while, so he simply sat on the ground and retorted: "That's a work of art."

"I said it's garbage," the fat woman took a step forward, and the tall and thin man on the ground immediately shrank back.

"That's really a work of art," he still insists on his opinion, but his confidence is obviously insufficient.

The fat woman's face is full of disdain, "That's garbage"

"They're really works of art," the tall thin man muttered quietly.

The fat woman spoke with a threatening tone this time: "If you can't pay the rent, they will become garbage immediately if they are not garbage"

The onlookers, who did not know the truth, saw this and lost interest in this lively scene. It's like a rotten cliché in a movie, and even the policemen on the side of the road don't bother to pay attention to the conflict between the landlord and the tenant in arrears.

Lin Mingyang had been sitting in the car watching this "fighting match" with great interest, and Lisa in the back row hesitated for a long time before telling Lin Mingyang that the tall thin man sitting on the ground was the Rubus they were looking for.

Kate was surprised to hear the news, and it was difficult for her to associate the down-and-out tenant with Winston's highly regarded special effects work. And Lin Mingyang just smiled slightly, "It seems that Mr. Rubas's recent situation is even worse than I imagined."

"Then we—" Lisa pointed out of the car, meaning to ask Lin Mingyang if he would go down at this time to help Lubas solve the problem he was facing.

"Miss Lisa will continue to lend him as generously as your father did?" Lin Mingyang asked very strangely, and Lisa, who was about to pull the car door and get out of the car, stopped what she was doing.

"Judging by Mr. Barrus' current performances, I'm not sure he's going to be the kind of talent I admire... But I'm willing to trust Mr. Winston's judgment, so let's take another look."

Just as they were discussing this moment in the car, the tall thin man on the ground had already stood up, and without even patting the dust on his body, he straightened his neck and argued with his fat landlord: "You don't understand movies at all, do you know George Lucas?" ”

"If the man is rich, and he's willing to help you pay your rent, I wouldn't mind getting to know him," the fat woman held out her sensual fingers and shook them in front of Barrus.

"Mr. Lucas last year produced more than half of Hollywood blockbusters with the Industrial Light & Magic Special Effects Studio he founded..."

Before Barus could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the fat landlord, who waved her hand in annoyance: "Do you know Lucas?" ”

Barrus puffed out his chest proudly: "Of course, I still have his signature in my room..."

"But will he pay for you, poor devil?" The fat landlord's voice suddenly raised, and this one almost came out of a roar, not to mention Barrus, even the passers-by around were startled by her.

Barrus shook her head very honestly, which further fueled the arrogance of the fat landlord, and she snorted coldly: "Even if you know a signature, then I still know Lin, what is the old man Lucas, Lin is the top fifty people on the rich list..."

Hearing the other party comment on himself, Lin Mingyang, who was drinking water in the car, was almost choked, and the two ladies in the car were covering their mouths and stealing fun.

"I realized that Mr. Lucas had a bad life just like me before he didn't make it, and that Lucas set the first milestone on his directorial journey with the incredible box office revenue of Star Wars. The success of this film lies not only in its proposal and exploration of a social problem brought to mankind and the world by the high development of science and technology, but also in the fact that it uses modern cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements such as lasers, computers, robots, etc., to show the audience a magical cosmic wonder within the framework of a highly imaginative story. The high level of stunts in this film amazes the audience. It was a pioneer in the creation and production of world science fiction films, for which it won seven Academy Awards in 1978. The success of "Star Wars" also led to a huge profit for Lucas, and with this money, Lucas founded his own film production company in Galivnia..."Barrus talks about the success of his idol, and he can spit even when facing the landlady he hates.

He clenched his fists and waved it with a look of determination: "Just give me a chance, and I will soar into the sky"

The landlady seemed to hear a very funny joke, and she pointed her fingertips at Barrus's forehead: "You said that one day you will be like Lucas?" ”

"I'm interviewing a crew, they're interested in my model, maybe we'll sign a contract tomorrow... Then I'll have the money to pay the rent."

"You think I'll still believe your despicable excuses, just you and the stuff in your room, the director will definitely eat poop when he sees you...", a vicious curse spewed from the landlady's mouth, and Barrus stood there silently as if he was used to it.

Lin Mingyang, who was sitting in the car, shook his head with some disappointment, he took out a signed check from his pocket but had not yet filled in the numbers, and handed it to Lisa in the back seat, "I won't go down, please use this check to help Mr. Barrus settle his arrears... He may not be the person I want."

Now that we're all here, maybe you should take a look at this Barrus work and then make a decision" Kate, who hadn't spoken much before, suddenly interjected at this time, she was hinting to Lin Mingyang euphemistically, what many talented people lack is really just an opportunity.

Others said this, Lin Mingyang probably ignored it, but Kate's reminder made him have to pay attention. On the one hand, it is because Kate has a unique place in his mind, and on the other hand, because what Kate said is indeed very reasonable.
