Chapter Ninety-Four: Gold Medal Lawyer
Recently, Greg Sallton's love is very low, I thought that a door had opened to me, and I was finally going to enter a new world of lawyers, but in the blink of an eye, he disappeared like a cloud, and he was still the low-level entertainment lawyer who was 3oo yuan an hour.
Lawyer is a high-paying profession, and his annual salary is called the middle class, but he has three children, two of whom are in primary school, one is in kindergarten, he has to go to a good private school, he has to live a good standard of living, and he has to pay a mortgage.
This is called the troubles of middle-class families. And he also has pursuits,
Want to attend the liveliest and pinnacle dinner party in the industry, want to compete with the big dealers at the negotiation table, want to create a new contract that affects the whole industry, like a break-even point, in the world of lawyers, that's the coolest thing!
Only a gold medal lawyer can be like that!
But now, with the betrayal of Willis's team, as he seemed to have lost Ye Wei's trust, the door was closed again, and the light of hope revealed was gone.
Lawyer Salton is depressed, he really hasn't done it!
But what's the use, he still sits in a small restroom-like office of less than 35o square feet (3o square meters), receiving people from the bottom of the entertainment industry, explaining various legal issues to them over and over again, like an IT programmer who reinstalls someone else's broken computer again and again, and his dream is to go to Silicon Valley to do programming.
"My dear, don't think too much, now Ye Wei is also in trouble, he can't improve you. His wife, Linda, comforted.
"No, Linda, you don't understand, Weige is a genius! he won't be ordinary, he will definitely be a character, you haven't been in contact with that young man, you don't know how confident, talented, passionate and energetic he is, this kind of person will be successful in whatever he does, you don't understand ......"
How could he be relieved, "You have watched "Dance of Angels", in this industry, you can't find a second 15-year-old young man with this ability, only Ye Wei!"
"Then you can tell him that you really didn't deceive him. ”
"I've already said it, but believe me, but there is already a gap between us, will you choose a lawyer with a gap?"
"Greg, I have an idea, why don't we go to visit our whole family, and you and Ye Wei explain this matter clearly. ”
"Visitor? That's a good idea...... I knew his parents, too, so I called and asked them if they were okay today. ”
Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao are hospitable people, plus Ye Wei said OK, a phone call, and said that the two families would have a friendship dinner tonight.
It had just fallen at night, and it was not yet dark, so the Salton family came to visit Ye's house, bringing a few seafood delicacies they had bought, as well as carefully prepared gifts.
Ye Wei picked up the garbage in the morning today, and in the afternoon everyone played on the beach for a long time, and the happy mood continued to the present, smiling and going to the front yard with his family to receive guests, and then taking the gift and opening it, only to see that it was a delicate golden Montblanc fountain pen, which cost hundreds of dollars.
"Wow thank you, this is an awesome gift, I love it, can't wait to sign it with it." "Ye Wei really likes it.
Duoduo next to her was also unpacking her own gift, a baby doll, she immediately hugged happily, "Thank you, it's so cute!
"Let's go inside. Ye Haogen warmly brought the guests into the house.
After entering the house, Ye Haogen and Toto accompanied the children to play in the hall, Gu Qiao and Linda went to prepare dinner, while Ye Wei and Salton walked in the back garden and talked about business.
"Weige, I want to make it clear to you that the Willis team has set up a contract trap, and I don't know about it. Salton said very solemnly.
"I know, I know. Ye Wei nodded, thinking back to that time, after he showed that trap, Solton's lawyer also asked the other party to rewrite the contract, and the matter was obvious.
But he does have some ideas in his heart to change his personal lawyer, just because the business level of Salton lawyer does not seem to be high, he is already a rookie in the industry, and a lawyer can't be a rookie, otherwise what if he faces this situation again and has no good luck?
It's just that listening to the lawyer's sincere words now makes him hesitate again......
Salton suddenly sighed and said, "As a lawyer, I know that my last negligence is unforgivable, but I really hope that you can give me another chance, I dare not guarantee that I will not make any mistakes in the future, I only dare to say that I will try my best to do things well." ”
"Lawyer, why, do you think I'm very promising?" Ye Wei couldn't help but ask with a smile, thinking, I can actually give others a chance.
"We all know how promising you are and it is an honor for me to be your lawyer. ”
Soldton's poker face was full of seriousness, looking at the night sky that was getting darker and darker, and his tone was gloomy:
"I've been in entertainment law for almost a decade, and although I have my own office, your biggest client is you, the others are just producers of independent films that may never make it, and actors who dream of coming to Los Angeles. Advise them, register companies, draw up contracts...... In order to expand my business, I have also opened some legal advice outside of the entertainment industry, and I am moving away from the film and television industry. ”
He sighed again, his middle-aged face full of sighs, "In the hearts of Bell, Hannah and Herman, their father is a barrister, but no, I'm just a nameless little character struggling on the edge of the industry." But I believe that you can give me a name, and you can make me the person in the hearts of the children. ”
Listening to this, Ye Wei was touched and moved by it, Lawyer Salton needs a chance, just like himself, to give a chance, who can be sure that they will not become big shots?
How can a person not make mistakes, he hasn't been in trouble on the set and in the editing room.
And the first person to appreciate and value him was this poker-faced guy, Greg Shoreton, the person who gave him free legal help many times, is also this guy.
This guy is his friend.
"Lawyer, you know, I've always been grateful to you. Ye Wei smiled and made a decision: "You will continue to be my lawyer, let's work together to make progress." ”
Salton immediately smiled with rare joy, "Thank you, I also want to thank you for trusting me, I hope the next contract will come soon, and I won't let myself make mistakes again." ”
"You still don't know?" Ye Wei wondered, "Oh, I don't seem to have informed you...... Things have changed. ”
"What change?" Toldton's heart jumped, what should he know?
"Tom Hanks has decided that he wants to invest in my project, and we're going to have our first meeting next Tuesday, so you'd better go along. Ye Wei said with a smile.
Sallton's eyes widened suddenly, and his expression became so rich, "You mean, that Tom Hanks who plays Forrest Gump?"
"Hahaha, this is also my first reaction, from this point of view, we really have a tacit understanding. Lawyer, it's that Hanks, he decided to invest 3oo in me, and Steven Spielberg is also interested, maybe DreamWorks will also take a stake in the investment. ”
Hanks, DreamWorks, Spielberg Attorney Soldton's heart was beating so hard that he clutched his chest in pain, "Please help me to sit down, I have a heart attack, I have heart bypass surgery, I can't be excited......"
"What?!Dude, relax, calm down!" Ye Wei was so frightened that he hurriedly supported him, no wonder it was a poker face......
"How does this make me calm?" Salton gritted his teeth, I can't die, absolutely not, the door to that new world has just opened again, and the light of hope is shining again, the hope of becoming a gold medal lawyer!
He knows, he knows...... Ye Wei will be a big shot!
Can't wait for next Tuesday?!!
......
As the night darkened, north of Brentwood, the spacious girls' bedroom was brightly lit, and Lily was sorting out her clothes while chatting with Connie on her phone.
Connie's voice was excited and envious: "Sue you for a situation, today I heard the boys say that VIy is ready to confess to you on Valentine's Day!!"
"Yes......" Lily frowned slightly, in fact, she had a premonition, and when she heard it at this time, the first thing was not joy and expectation, but apprehension.
"What's wrong?" Connie wondered, "Oh my God, Lily, you're not going to be unhappy, are you?"
"No! not really!" Lily hurriedly clarified, for fear that her friend would make some wrong moves, but she didn't know what to say, and she didn't quite understand her feelings, thinking that she only wanted to confess, and she was happy, her heart was sweet, but her heart was worried and chaotic.
She smiled bitterly: "My heart is a mess, I really didn't expect it to ...... so soon"
"Please, you're boyfriend and girlfriend now, tell me honestly, how many times have you kissed?" Connie's tone was a little sour.
"Hmm...... However, I ...... I'm a little scared of change, it's fine now, I don't want to change......" Lily sat down on the edge of the bed, rubbing her distressed face, "I don't know, I really don't know......"
"But you like Wei, don't you?" Connie asked softly, somewhat understanding her friend's fear.
"Yes, I like him a lot. Lily admits that maybe not just very, very, very, that he has been in her dreams so often......
"Then I know, you're just nervous, your first love is like this, and I'll be like this if I change it, but when the time comes, don't promise too quickly, haha!"
"Is that so?" Lily relaxed a lot when she heard this, smiled self-deprecatingly, and stopped thinking about it for a while, "I guess so." ”
After the phone call with Connie ended, she wanted to think calmly, but as soon as she packed up all the clothes, the phone rang again, but the call came.
She answered with an eyebrow: "Hey, bastard." ”
"Lily, you should really look at my lawyer, Soldton, the look on Hanks' face when he heard that he invested in me, he almost had a heart attack! Let's put it this way, he's usually R2d2, 'beep beep', before I heard it, he was Marvin in the series "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", 'life, don't talk to me about life!' but at that moment, he became a sentry in "The Matrix", 'Wow!!'"
Although she didn't quite understand, Lily laughed, "If he knows that you describe him like that, then what?"
"I want to think about it...... It must have been Hector from "Saturn III", 'I don't have a fault, you have!'"
"Haha, what the hell is that?"
"Beep beep, I'm not faulty, you have ......"
