James was still tutoring the children with their homework when he received Cook's call, he was one of the few "highly educated" truck drivers in this group, of course, the high degree here does not mean that he went to college or anything, he just finished high school and went to technical school for a year.

This kind of technical school is not the kind of technical training course set up in the factory in order to defraud the special subsidy for education, but a serious technical school, which learns exactly how to drive a truck and how to repair a truck.

At the beginning, Cook and his group learned the car repair skills from James, and he may not be the most conspicuous one in the group, but for the people in the small group, he is an important core.

People sometimes talk to him about some problems, because he has the highest education.

James didn't have a phone at home, and it didn't really cost much money to install it, but the problem was that they didn't have much value in installing it.

No one will contact him all day, and he doesn't need to contact anyone all day, so most ordinary families don't have phones, but they have "phones", public telephones.

There will be a public phone booth every 100 meters or so, and when they fill in their home phone number, they will fill in the phone number of this phone booth, and when the phone booth rings, people on the street will pick it up and ......

"James, your phone!", a scream came from the window, as if something terrible had happened to him, and there was an extra bar on James' child's homework book that should not have appeared.

James straightened up, he walked to the window and looked at his neighbor standing outside the phone booth, holding the phone in one hand, and at the same time looking at him, his voice was a little quieter, "Your phone, James!"

"I'm not deaf!", he grumbled, but it wasn't a complaint in his tone, but a tone of gratitude.

This is the neighborhood and the life of ordinary people, who rarely say thank you in a serious way, and sometimes even use Mazhevaco and middle finger instead of some similar words of thanks, but they know better what gratitude is and how to be grateful than those people in the upper class who appear to be sanctimonious and in fact are male thieves and prostitutes.

When he showed up to catch it, he already had an extra piece of pancake wrapped in newspaper in his hand, and it was definitely a delicacy if he didn't care about the ink that might be stained.

The neighbor took the pancake and bumped him on the shoulder, handed him the phone, and then left to bite on the pancake while strolling around.

None of them have a job, they don't know what to do except wander the streets all day, and if they are at home, the women of the family will denounce their laziness and make them roll out into the street to find a job, and the devil knows why these women have forgotten about equality and so on at this time.

James answered the phone and nodded a few times, then hung up the phone, it was Cook, who asked him to go to a place now, and he silently kept the address in mind.

Most drivers, whether they are car drivers or truck drivers, have an amazing ability to quickly locate a place in their minds based on a detailed address information, and even "see" the scenery around the location.

He stood downstairs, said a few words to his family, and then hurried away.

With Lynch paying his salary, his life is not as embarrassing as it was some time ago, and the atmosphere between husband and wife has become much more harmonious.

About nine o'clock in the evening, James came to the outside of the villa, facing a huge luxury villa, James was very nervous, he moved his palms, both palms were sweaty, wet and greasy not very comfortable.

He wanted to wait for the sweat in his palms to dry before going in, but what he didn't expect was that Cook actually came out to pick him up, so he had to wipe the sweat from his palms on his pants.

"Is there anything important about coming to me so late?", James asked in a low voice on the way.

Cook's expression was a little strange, "Don't you often tell us stories, your chance has come!"

In fact, he didn't think that James would be able to win the favor of these big people, and he had some envy and jealousy in his heart, because he knew very well that once James succeeded, he would be different from them.

In fact, Cook thinks too much, because even if James becomes a screenwriter, he will not become so important, because screenwriters are the least valuable!

Yes, the least valuable.

The directors made trouble, and the capitalists compromised.

The actors made trouble, and the capitalists compromised.

The behind-the-scenes staff made trouble, and the capitalists compromised.

Film critics, who don't really have much to do with the movie, have also made trouble, and the capitalists have compromised.

Only when the screenwriter made trouble, the capitalist pointed to the door and told them, "Get out of my sight immediately!"

Well, although he didn't know, it still couldn't stop him from being a little envious, not wanting him to succeed, and not believing it.

But as a good friend, he also hopes that James can succeed, at least he still has some light in his heart.

He briefly explained the situation, and James not only did not become relaxed, but became more nervous.

He knew it was an opportunity to change his life, and he wouldn't give up and he didn't want to.

James, who was very confused, appeared in the living room of the villa, accompanied by Cook, and in addition to Lynch, the young boss, there were two bosses who were very rich at first glance, and some young people dressed fashionably.

They may not be very rich, but there is a kind of pride on their faces, and this look James has seen on the faces of some college students, which is a kind of pride in themselves and contempt for the world, after all, the people who can afford to go to college in this era are not the lowest.

He became more nervous, and Lynch took the initiative to pour a glass of wine and asked Cook to send it to him, "Don't be nervous, I asked you to come just to talk to you, but first please read a script and tell us how it is." ”

Cook gave both the glass with the drink and the script to James, who drank some and suddenly became a little more relaxed.

In fact, it is not that alcohol plays a role, it is just a psychological suggestion, which he did by himself, and it has nothing to do with alcohol, and the whole society has a similar conditioned reflex.

He read it very carefully, and after about ten minutes, he closed the script, and then sighed heavily, "Very good script, the author must have referred to some mythological stories or religious stories when writing it, which is full of various metaphors." ”

Little Fox and his classmates and alumni all had smiles on their faces, but the smiles didn't last long for James to bring their smiles back together.

"This kind of script can win awards, but the audience doesn't like it, the audience wants to relax and be happy......"

He said what he thought in his heart, and in the past two years, he has also written some scripts and sold them to film companies and directors' unions, in fact, at the beginning, he couldn't do this.

At that time, he, like the author of this script, wanted to prove himself artistically, and all the scripts were rejected, until he studied a lot of blockbuster films and began to give up certain insistences, and he succeeded.

successfully sold his script and became one of the reserves of the film company or the director's guild, so he was qualified to evaluate the script.

Lynch nodded with satisfaction, "So what do you think makes this story fascinating?"

James has relaxed a lot, and it's one of the things he does best, he's not nervous, "cut out the complicated plot, make the story simple, add some trendy elements, aliens, spaceships, road kills, ketchup, and undressed actresses......"

"Adult?", one of the creators of the script scoffed, he didn't say anything more, but the phrase and his sneer seemed to mock James, the guy who commented on their work, and in the end only had this ability.

Relying on sensory stimulation to catch the audience's eye is also the most vulgar approach, and it is an option they will not do.

James seemed to be much better than Lynch imagined in the face of these young people, who were still college students, and he did not retort or abuse them in annoyance, but raised the script in his hand in a joke tone, "This is also an adult-level script." ”

Those who were laughing at him suddenly stopped talking, and their faces were not very good-looking, and the investors directly rejected their scripts, and their peers did not look down on them, which made them a little annoyed.

One of them stepped forward, took the script back from James, looked at Lynch and Mr. Fox with a contemptuous smile of "you'll realize how stupid your choice was," before saying goodbye and leaving.

The others also got up and said goodbye, since Fox couldn't get investment, there was no need for them to continue wasting time here.

Little Fox was a little embarrassed, in fact, at this time, he also knew that these classmates, the purpose of alumni coming here was to attract investment, or to cheat money, which made him very embarrassed, because he had questioned Mr. Fox's judgment before.

Lynch didn't care about that, he just looked at James with some amusement, "If you were to write this script, how long would it take you?"

James' heart began to beat faster, and he vaguely realized that he was close to success, and a new life was facing him.

After careful consideration, he gave a more suitable time - three days.

The trio who decided to read James's script before making a decision let Cook and James leave first, and they had some other things to discuss.

Lynch was a very professional and dedicated person, and when he knew that the Fox father and son's plan had already begun to be implemented, he didn't think about it.

Regardless, these things will bring him wealth and influence, as well as a cornerstone that will lay the foundation for his mythical status in business circles.

He wants to discuss with the father and son how to make some money before the movie is filmed!
