Blackstone Code

When Cook received the call, James was still helping the children with their homework. He was one of the few "highly educated" truck drivers. Finished high school, also read a year of technical school.

This kind of technical school is not the kind of technical training class set up in the factory to defraud the special education subsidy, but a serious technical school, learning the driving of trucks and simple truck maintenance skills.

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

People sometimes come to him for consultation when they have some problems, because he has the highest education.

James didn't have a phone at home, and it didn't cost much money to install a phone, but the problem was that they installed a phone and it didn't have any real 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 phones, but they have "phones", public phones.

Every 100 meters or so there will be a public phone booth, and they will fill in the phone number of this phone booth when they fill in their home phone number, and when the phone booth rings, people on the street will answer it, and then...

"James, your phone!" There was a scream outside the window as if something terrible had happened, and there was a horizontal line that should not have appeared on James's child's homework book.

James straightened up. He walked to the window and looked at the neighbor standing outside the phone booth, holding the phone in one hand, and at the same time looked at him, and his voice was softer, "Your phone, James!"

"I'm not deaf!", he complained, but in fact the tone was not a complaint, but a tone similar to gratitude.

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

When he showed up at the reception, he already had an extra piece of crepe wrapped in newspaper in his hand. If you don't care about the ink that may be stained, it is definitely a delicious thing.

The neighbor bumped into his shoulder after taking the pancake, handed him the phone casually, and walked away while biting the pancake.

No one has a job, they don't know what to do except hang out on the street all day, and if they're at home, the women in the house will call them lazy and tell them to go down the street and get a job, God knows Why are these women forgetting issues like equality at this time.

After James answered the phone, he quickly nodded a few times and hung up the phone. It was Cook who called. Cook asked him to go to a place now, and he silently remembered the address in his heart.

Most drivers, whether they are car drivers or truck drivers, have a very magical ability. They can quickly locate a location 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 left in a hurry.

With Lynch paying his salary, his current life is not as embarrassing 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, and the palms of both palms were covered with sweat, which was very wet and uncomfortable.

He wanted to wait for the sweat on his palms to dry before going in, but to his surprise, Cook 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 road.

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

In fact, he didn't think that James could win the favor of these big men, and he felt a little envious because of this, because he knew very well that once James succeeded, he would become different from them.

In fact, Cook thought too much, because even if James became a screenwriter, he would not become so important, because screenwriters are the least valuable!

Yes, most worthless.

The directors had a fight, and the capitalists compromised.

Actors quarreled, capitalists compromised.

The staff behind the scenes made a fuss, and the capitalists compromised.

Film critics who had little to do with the film also had a fight, and the capitalists also compromised.

Only when the screenwriters were making trouble, the capitalist pointed at the door and told them, "Get out of my sight immediately!"

Well, although he doesn't know, it still can't stop him from being a little envious and jealous, and doesn't want him to succeed, and doesn't believe it.

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

He briefly explained the situation, James not only did not relax, but became more nervous.

He knows that this is an opportunity to change his life, he will not give up, and he does not want to give up.

Accompanied by Cook, the confused James appeared in the living room of the villa. At this time, besides Lynch, the young boss, there were two very rich bosses in the living room, and some Fashionably dressed young man.

They may not be very rich, but there is a kind of arrogance on their faces. James has seen this look on the faces of some college students. It is a kind of pride for oneself and contempt for the world. After all, this age can afford University people are not at the bottom.

He became more nervous, Lynch took the initiative to pour a glass of wine and asked Cook to deliver it to him, "Don't be nervous, I invited you here just because we want to chat with you, but first please read a script, and then tell How are we doing?"

Cook gave James the glass and the script, and James drank some and relaxed a little.

In fact, it wasn't the alcohol that played a role, it was just a psychological suggestion, he did it himself, it had nothing to do with alcohol, the whole society had a similar conditioned reflex.

He read it very carefully, and about ten minutes later, he closed the script, and then sighed heavily, "It's a very good script, the author must have referred to some mythological stories or religious stories when writing it, it is full of all kinds of metaphors."

Little Fox and the classmates and alumni next to him had smiles on their faces, but the smiles didn't last long, and James made their smiles shrink again.

"Such scripts can win awards, but audiences don't like it. What audiences want is relaxation and happiness..."

He bit the bullet and said what was in his heart. In the past two years, he also wrote some scripts and sold them to film companies and the directors' union. In fact, at the very beginning, he couldn't do this.

At that time, like the author of this script, he wanted to prove himself in terms of artistry. All the scripts were rejected until he studied many blockbuster movies 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 in satisfaction, "Then do you think it makes this story attractive?"

James has relaxed a lot, and it's one of the things he's good at, he's not nervous, "cut out the complicated plot, make the story simple, put in some trendy elements, aliens, spaceships, road kills, tomato Sau, and actresses without clothes..."

"Adult grade?" snickered one of the screenplay's creators, and he didn't say much more, but the line and his snicker seemed to mock James, the guy who critiqued their work, for ultimately only being able to do so much.

Relying on sensory stimulation to catch the audience's eyes is the most vulgar way, and it is a choice they will not make.

James, who was still a college student, seemed to perform much better than Lynch had imagined in the face of these young people. He did not retort or curse in anger, but raised the script in his hand in a joke tone, "This It’s also a grown-up script.”

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

One of them took the initiative to stand up, took back the script from James, looked at Lynch and Mr. Fox with a contemptuous smile of "you will realize how stupid your choices are", and then said goodbye and left.

Others also stood up and said goodbye one after another. Since Fox couldn't get investment, there was no need for them to waste time here.

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

Lynch didn't care about these, he just looked at James with some playfulness, "If you come to write this script, how long will it take you?"

James' heartbeat began to speed up, and he faintly realized that he was close to succeeding, and a brand new life that he yearned for was facing him.

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

The three who decided to read James' script before making a decision asked Cook and James to leave first. They still had some other things to discuss.

Lynch is a very professional and dedicated person. When he knew that Fox and his son's plan had already started to be implemented, he didn't consider leaving it alone.

In any case, these things will bring him wealth and influence, and a cornerstone of his legendary status in business circles.

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