When he received cook's call, James was still helping the children with their homework. He was one of the few "highly educated" truck drivers in this group. Of course, the highly educated here did not mean that he had studied in college. He just finished high school and a year of technical school.

This technical school is not the kind of technical training class set up in the factory to defraud special education subsidies, but a serious technical school, which studies truck driving and simple truck maintenance technology.

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

People sometimes consult him when they have some problems, because he has the highest education.

James doesn't have a telephone at home. It doesn't cost much money to install a telephone, but the problem is that they have no practical value.

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

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

"James, your phone!" came from the window, like a scream of terrible and terrible things. There was an extra bar on James's child's homework book that shouldn't have appeared.

James straightened up. He went to the window and looked at his neighbor standing outside the phone booth with the phone in one hand. At the same time, he looked at him with a lower voice, "your phone, James!"

"I'm not deaf!" he complained, but in fact he didn't complain, but with a tone similar to gratitude.

This is the street of ordinary people and the life of ordinary people. They rarely say thank you seriously. Sometimes they even use marevak and middle finger to replace some similar thank you words, but they know more about gratitude and how to be grateful than those people in the upper class who are ostensibly dignified but actually men steal women and prostitutes.

When he appeared at the reception, he had a piece of pancake wrapped in newspaper in his hand. If he didn't care about the ink that might be stained, it was definitely a delicious thing.

The neighbor took the pancake, hit him on the shoulder, handed him the phone, and then walked away, biting the pancake.

Everyone has no job. They don't know what to do except wandering in the street all day. If they are at home, the women in the family will denounce their laziness and ask them to go to the street to find a job. Who knows why these women forget equality at this time.

James answered the phone quickly and hung up. The caller was cook. Cook asked him to go to a place now. He kept this address in mind silently.

Most drivers, whether car drivers or truck drivers, have a magical ability. They can quickly locate a place in their mind according to a detailed address information, and even "see" the scenery around the place.

He stood downstairs, spoke to his family and left in a hurry.

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

At about nine o'clock in the evening, James came outside the villa. Facing a huge luxury villa, James was very nervous. He moved his palms. The palms of both palms were sweaty and not very comfortable.

He wanted to wait for the sweat of his palm to dry before going in, but unexpectedly, cook came out to pick him up. He had to wipe the sweat of his palm on his pants.

"Is it important to come to me so late?" James asked in a low voice on the way.

Cook looked a little strange. "Don't you often tell us some stories? Here's your chance!"

In fact, he doesn't think James can get the favor of these big people, and he has some envy and jealousy in his heart, because he knows very well that once James succeeds, he will become different from them.

In fact, cook thinks too much, because even if James becomes a screenwriter, he won't become so important, because screenwriters are the least valuable!

Yes, the least valuable.

The directors quarreled and the capitalists compromised.

The actors quarreled and the capitalists compromised.

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

Film critics who have little to do with films have also made trouble, and the capitalists have compromised.

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

Well, although he doesn't know, he still can't stop some little envy and jealousy. He doesn't want him to succeed and doesn't believe it.

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

He simply explained the situation. James not only didn't relax, but became more nervous.

He knows this is an opportunity to change his life. He won't give up and doesn't want to give up.

Accompanied by cook, the confused James appeared in the living room of the villa. At this time, in the living room, in addition to Lynch, the young boss, there were two very rich bosses and some fashionable young people.

They may not be very rich, but they have a proud look on their faces. James has seen this look on the faces of some college students. It is a kind of pride in themselves and contempt for the world. After all, the people who can afford college in this era are not the bottom.

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

Cook gave James the cup with wine and the script. The latter drank some wine and suddenly became more relaxed.

In fact, it's not wine that plays a role. It's just a psychological hint. He did it himself. It has nothing to do with wine. The whole society has a similar conditioned reflex.

He read it carefully. About ten minutes later, he closed the script and sighed heavily. "It's a great script. The author must refer to some fairy tales or religious stories when writing it, which is full of all kinds of metaphors."

Little fox and his classmates and alumni showed a smile on their faces, but the smile didn't last long. James let their smiles converge again.

"Such a script can win prizes, but the audience doesn't like it. What the audience wants is relaxation and happiness..."

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

At that time, like the author of the script, he wanted to prove himself artistically. All the scripts were rejected until he studied many blockbuster films and began to give up some persistence. He succeeded.

He successfully sold his script and became one of the reserves of the film company or the directors' Union, so he is qualified to evaluate the script.

Lynch nodded with satisfaction, "so do you think it's attractive to make up this story?"

James has relaxed a lot, and this is one of his best things. He is not nervous. "Delete the complex plot, make the story simple, and add some trend elements, aliens, spaceships, road killings, ketchup, and naked actresses..."

"Adult?" one of the creators of the script sneered. He didn't say more, but this sentence and his sneer seemed to laugh at James, who commented on their works. In the end, he had only this ability.

Relying on sensory stimulation to catch the audience's eyes is also the most vulgar way, and it is a choice they won't do.

In the face of these young people, still college students, James seems to perform much better than Lynch imagined. He didn't refute or abuse angrily, but raised his script in a joke tone, "this is also an adult script."

Those who were laughing at him stopped talking and didn't look very good. The investors directly rejected their script, and their peers didn't see them, which made them a little angry.

One of them stood up, took the script back from James, looked at Lynch and Mr. Fox with a disdainful smile of "you will realize how stupid your choice is in the future", and then said goodbye and left.

Others also got up and left. Since fox couldn't get investment, they didn't need to waste time here.

Little fox is a little embarrassed. In fact, at this time, he also knows that the purpose of these students and alumni is to attract investment or cheat money, which makes him very embarrassed, because he has questioned Mr. Fox's judgment before.

Lynch didn't care about this. He just looked at James playfully. "If you write this script, how long will it take you?"

James's heart began to beat faster. He vaguely realized that he was close to success. A new life he yearned for was facing him.

After careful thinking, he gave a more appropriate time - three days.

The three who decided to read James's script before making a decision let cook and James leave first. They still have some other things to discuss.

Lynch is a very professional and devoted person. When he knew that the fox father and son's plan had begun to be implemented, he didn't think about it.

In any case, these things will bring him wealth and influence, and lay a cornerstone of his mythical position in the business circle.

He wants to discuss with the father and son how to make a penny before the film is made!
