American Wealth System

It's a pity that after signing the contract, even though Carl was ready to join the crew for filming at any time, he still didn't expect that Cameron would skip the filming!

After 20th Century Fox gritted his teeth and continued to inject capital, Cameron not only showed no repentance, but also intensified his efforts!

Not only did they customize a full set of Titanic tableware of the same style, but also built more studios and used a lot of real materials for decoration. The most annoying thing is that the female lead has not yet been decided.

Even Carl, who knew how great this movie would be, was speechless.

"Then what have you been filming during this time?! I mean you joined the crew so early and started filming, right?" Karl couldn't figure it out. Didn't he say that Leon had started filming before? Why would you say it now?

Still in the preparation stage?

Leon, who was lying on the sofa at Carl's house while eating fruit and watching TV, said absently, "James said he wanted to see the effect, so he asked me to take a few days to film a few audition clips."

"Then what?"

"Then James asked Fox to continue to inject capital." Leon spread his hands like you couldn't guess, saying that he didn't know it would turn out like this.

Carl has given up. In my memory, James has been delayed for more than a year. Twentieth Century Fox was almost forced to go bankrupt. Even the heroine was chosen by herself by writing to James. It seems that she has to wait until the official start of filming.

It's still a long time before it's released.

But, before that.

"Wait a minute, Leon, have you gained weight?"

It is said that Leon has lived in Carl's house since he finished filming "Romeo and Juliet". Carl's house is not that big of a deal. The house is large and there are many rooms. It will be more lively when friends move in.

But Leon was a little indulgent, at least in Karl's view. Karl knew how terrible DiCaprio would become after he indulged himself. What you need to know is that Leon was in his prime when he was filming "Rambo".

As for beauty, I gained a little weight when I got to "Titanic", but it wasn't very obvious, after all, I still have good looks.

The question is, if you can take good-looking photos, why don't you pay attention to control, especially since Karl has been particularly sensitive to appearance since time travel.

But compared to Karl's high demands, Leon didn't seem to care so much.

"Really? I'm growing." He said while stuffing a piece of chocolate ball into his mouth, "You're too strict Karl, please relax a little, I'm resting now."

It’s just because I’m resting that I gain weight unknowingly!

Carl rolled his eyes and gave up communicating with the teenager.

Sure enough, I'd better think of a solution on my own. I'd like to switch to lamb chops for dinner, and reduce the amount of sugar. I'll focus on protein.

While Carl was marinating the lamb chops, William also came and brought samples of Carl's works.

As soon as William came in, he saw Leon lying on the sofa, who was very comfortable. His half-dead look made William not want to say anything. Anyway, even if he said it, Leon would not listen to him, so he simply went to find someone sensible and capable.

It's Carl.

Karl wiped his hands and walked out from behind the kitchen counter when he heard William coming in. "William? Did you bring the sample?"

When talking to William on the phone yesterday, Karl got the news from William that his book had been typeset, and it had also been accompanied by illustrations drawn by Karl. Today he brought it over for Karl to confirm.

[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here www. 】

Karl took over the book from William. First of all, it was the cover. The little prince's planet and the little prince on the background map of the blue starry sky looked very eye-catching, and the material was also very good.

The illustrations inside were drawn by Karl in memory, and they were drawn in a rather childish way.

Karl is very satisfied with this book, and then he is more concerned about publicity and distribution.

"I think it's good like this. How many first prints did they make?" Hugo was more concerned about this issue.

"600,000 copies! The publishing house has great confidence in your book, and is prepared to use your age and academic performance to promote it. Coupled with Harvard University's sales channels, it is fully prepared. As long as there is a possibility of selling out, it can start immediately.

Print it!" William said excitedly. For the sake of money, he wanted Karl to become famous!

This is also the idea of ​​the publishing house. You must know that Harvard Press always publishes academic books and cannot win the favor of most readers. Of course, this does not mean that the publishing house cannot change or is unwilling to change, but that it simply cannot find a way to change it.

An opportunity for change!

As a publishing house run by Harvard University, we can't let them publish some mindless youth novels. Even if they agree, the old professors in the college will not agree! You must know that they provide manuscripts to the publishing house all year round.

People, so instead of pursuing fast-food literature, it is better to focus on academic books like now.

It’s not that you can’t find good books, but there aren’t many good books. There are only so many famous books from ancient times to the present. The cycle of publishing, reprinting and collecting editions repeats itself. Even if there are always people who will buy them, it’s not enough for Harvard University Press.

The funding from the board of directors comes in abundance.

Under such circumstances, when Karl's book was first handed to the editor Michael, he didn't pay much attention to it.

Even if the author was an outstanding young man, or even his future schoolmate, Michael didn't think a fairy tale would bring much surprise.

Listen to this name, The Little Prince, it is another whimsical story that children like.

Of course, there are always people who would like to read it, but he felt that this book should be more suitable for a youth publishing house, rather than a serious Harvard publishing house.

Even though he was not optimistic about it, due to his professional ethics and the strong recommendation from his friends, Michael decided to read this book carefully. Maybe it would be a cute bedtime story?

But the result surprised him.

When he lay in bed at night and opened the book "The Little Prince", he discovered that this book was unusual.

In order to make children understand, the grammar of fairy tales is generally childish and simple, but this is not the case in "The Little Prince". In the straightforward words of this book, there are many sentences that even adults need to think about carefully.

【All adults were once children, although only a few remember it.】

[Maybe there are five thousand flowers exactly like you in the world, but you are my unique rose.]

[I will live on one of the stars and smile on a certain star. Whenever you look up at the starry sky at night, it will be like seeing all the stars smiling. 】

After experiencing so much, the little prince finally understood the true meaning of love and the meaning of happiness.

When Michael finally finished reading this fairy tale of less than 100,000 words, the sky was already slightly bright, and it was exactly four or five o'clock.

The emotions surging in his chest kept him unable to sleep. Finally, he sat up without saying a word, started to put on his favorite suit, kissed his sleeping wife, and drove to the company.

He thought that he must get this book published as soon as possible.
