Hollywood Rhapsody

124 of Chapter 3

"There are no movie reviews, and there is no reason to even make predictions!" James bought a copy of the "Los Angeles Times" as quickly as possible, staring at the eye-catching "20 billion! Titanic!" on it, and searched the newspaper for a long time. I couldn't find any more commentary information. Although I'm happy to see someone say that his movie can be a hit, but without analysis, it's a bit too childish to just stamp it with a big red stamp of "Prophet Produced"?

Fox's Tom Rothman is more action-oriented. He called the "Los Angeles Times" immediately. He was very curious about how the other party got on line with the prophet. If possible, he was even interested in talking to the prophet. Let's have dinner with my family and talk about the mental journey of the whole forecast.That's 20 billion after all!Not 5 million, not 10 billion, but 20 billion!Even if there is only a [-]% chance that this prophecy will come true, it is enough to drive the whole world crazy!

"If it can reach 20 billion, it's okay to let me run naked in Beverly Hills!" Paramount's Brad Gray joked with James Cameron on the phone, and even revealed some just now. The person who inquired, "I heard that the newspaper office has never met the real prophet, but a small editor contacted him through MSN. In fact, it is still unclear whether the person sitting on the other side of the computer is a prophet or not, but In the end they published the bold number."

After James finished listening, his eyes fell on the newspaper again, and he fell into aphasia in disbelief. After a long time, he murmured in a trance like Jon: "Crazy, the "Los Angeles Times" is indeed crazy..."

Yes, the Los Angeles Times building is indeed in a frenzy at this time, the phone is ringing almost knocking the roof off, and all the phones have only one question-really? Is 20 billion real?

"Sam! Contact the prophet to publish another film review. The effect of a simple number is unexpected, but it's too scary!" The editor-in-chief walked up to Sam in person and patted the subordinate's shoulder affectionately, half enjoying and half distressed "Almost all big names called, Fox, Paramount, Disney... Even if Mr. President calls the next second, I won't be surprised."

Sam was flattered, and nodded again and again to promise that he would definitely come to the prophet's film review.

"Oh, do remember the Oscar forecast, since he is so confident in Titanic's box office, there is no reason why he has no idea about Titanic's Oscar." The editor-in-chief reminded intimately, lowered his voice and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "Do it The ticket is big, since we have all boarded this big ship..."

Sam nodded solemnly. In the hot office, his vest was covered with cold sweat. He looked at the back of the editor-in-chief and silently completed the unfinished words in his heart-"Since we have all boarded this big ship , the only thing we can do is to sail far away, otherwise the gameover will sink everyone!"

……

"The big '20 billion' occupies almost three-quarters of the page, which is shocking enough! Sam, I have to say that you have given me a very big surprise this time, thank you for your trust in me." Sarah originally planned to The forecast was posted online, but as soon as she went out, she was attracted by the eye-catching "20 billion" on the newsstand. At that moment, she was stunned for three seconds—WOW! It was actually published!Who gave Sam, gave the "Los Angeles Times" such courage and courage!

"It's you, it's all because of you who said this number, guess how I spent these two days? Research! Research! You! We spent two full days researching all your box office forecasts for half a year, Struggling to decide whether to say the number of '20 billion' that is destined to shock the world, and the end result... well, you have obviously seen it, a whole page with almost no other content, because we believe that any film review and discussion in this number It will look pale and boring in front of you."

Even through the text of MSN, Sam's excitement can be passed on to Sarah without any loss. His typing speed is much faster than usual, and there is no false flattery or ulterior temptation. Sharing the achievement and happiness of this moment with Sarah is the freedom and ease of finally letting go after bearing tremendous pressure.

"Whether his mother's prediction is accurate or not, anyway, it's already in the newspaper! Hey, it's the excitement of risking everything! Sam, you successfully infected me." The little devil in Sarah's heart was stupid. Stupid Desire to move, typed such a paragraph happily.

"Yes, this wonderful feeling of excitement is incomparable. I was so excited when I published the first manuscript for so many years. When the newspaper was printed, I felt that I had already lost half of my life..." Sam's words stopped abruptly, and the text passed After a long while, I finally sent it again, "What the fuck. Are you sure? Hey, today is Christmas, your joke is a bit too big, S, the kindest S, you are joking with me Bar?"

"Well...Let me think about it..." Sarah couldn't help sticking out her tongue, wondering if it's not good to scare her partner like this on Christmas?But the 20 billion is indeed the result of her deliberately rounding up the result for a more shocking effect. Is this a joke?

"..." There was a deathly silence.

"Okay, okay, take it easy, I just came up on a whim. I'm just kidding, Sam, Merry Christmas!" Sarah seemed to have heard Sam's nervous heartbeat, and when she saw Sam's pitiful and aggrieved reply, Sarah was thoroughly amused, and she was rocking back and forth laughing in front of the computer.

The two joked a few more words before Sarah sent the finished film review to Sam: "So, since our cooperation is established, then this film review is entrusted to you!"

"Of course, our cooperation is unbreakable, and I will be the most loyal believer of the great prophet in the future." Sam, who was so scared that he almost had a heart attack, immediately turned on the dogleg mode with ease. The moment the newspaper decided to publish the box office forecast, He is doomed to be tied up with the mysterious prophet, and he will prosper and lose. The magical halo of the prophet will become the acceleration belt of his career, but if the halo of the prophet fades, he will probably pack up and leave .

Sam asked enthusiastically as he opened the document: "Did you make a prediction for the Oscars?"

And what answered him was an ellipsis from Sarah.

After exiting MSN, Sarah tightened her windbreaker and walked out of the Internet cafe, walking on the street full of the melody of "Jingle Bells", hesitating whether to buy Christmas gifts for Arthur and little Noah, but soon couldn't help laughing—today is Christmas was all right, but she was in a Jewish family and it wasn't Christmas at all.

"I'm a white-skinned and yellow-hearted egg man, egg man... how many little secrets do I have, little secrets..." Sarah hummed happily in the melody of the little dragon man, and went into the store to choose for little Noah. bought a toy, and then, adhering to the mentality of not favoring one over another, bought a scarf for Arthur.She went out early in the morning, dealt with film reviews and bought large and small bags. In fact, it was only eleven o'clock. Looking at the time, Sarah decided to go to a nearby Chinese restaurant to pack a home dish. It is said that Jews often have Patronizing Chinese restaurants, I don't know if Arthur has this interest.

On the way to the Chinese restaurant, Sarah glanced aimlessly at a huge billboard - "ThinkPad770, NewWorld, NewThinking!"

"This is a magical machine that was released in September this year. It is the world's first notebook computer with a 9-inch color display and a DVD drive. Its performance is perfect in all aspects. Unfortunately, its price is not perfect at all." Allen Following his friend's line of sight, his eyes couldn't help but brighten up. This is the computer field he is familiar with and loves, and he can't stop talking once he opens it.

"Let's go and have a look." The blond young man was already walking towards Electric City while listening to Allen rambling on analyzing the performance of the ThinkPad 770.

"Do you want to buy it? Do you really want to buy it?" Allen's eyes lit up instantly, as if he saw a small fish-dried cat, and followed him step by step, while still failing to stop his chattering mouth, "Although not I know why you suddenly canceled your trip and came to Los Angeles to find me for Christmas, but if you can get a ThinkPad770 because of it, that would be awesome!"

"Who said I'm going to buy it?" The blond young man stopped suddenly when he was only ten meters away from the Electric City. He glanced at his watch and shook his head slightly, "Forget it today."

"What! Don't buddy, you can't make me happy, I mean that computer is really amazing... Wait, wait, look over there..." Allen grabbed the arm of the blond friend, first trying to persuade The other party was buying a computer, but he turned around halfway through the conversation, raised his finger and pointed at the station not far away and exclaimed, "Look, does that girl look familiar? The girl who solved my math problem, yes, that's her! She It's so beautiful, even more beautiful than half a year ago..."

"Hmm..." The blond young man glanced at Alan, who was full of heart, and snorted softly with his nose, while Sarah on the other side had already gotten into the car.

When Sarah returned home, she was still thinking about the introduction of ThinkPad 770's performance and the feel of operation. Although it was incomparable with the ultrabook 20 years later, it was not easy to achieve this step with a notebook computer in 1997. Sara was drooling when she was in Computer City, she was so fed up with the constant trips to the library and Internet cafes, plus she was going to Wilmington to film "Age of Love", she really needed it A handy laptop, and a mobile phone is also necessary to buy one.

Money, money!Can't wait for the salary of "Age of Love", so I have to wait for the extra money of "Los Angeles Times".

Money, money!Sarah suddenly realized that although she had lived a fulfilling life for half a year, she really didn't make any money. She, a reborn person, has been "gnawing on the old" all the time!Of course, as a high school student, it’s okay for her to spend a little of her parents’ money, but sooner or later, the money Arthur earned from selling paintings will be used up. Arthur is not Picasso, and every painting can be sold for sky-high prices. The money earned in half a year is considered lucky.

Eat old?A person who once owned a successful Internet company is now going to eat the old man!Sarah seemed to have received a heavy blow, and her whole body felt sluggish for a moment, but soon she pulled herself together and calculated, including the remuneration, manuscript fee, and publication of the novel, so how much money should she have in the account next year? , Sarah patted little Noah in her arms, while unconsciously scratching on the notepad—what did she need?What should she do?What can she do?

Maybe being reborn doesn't mean completely abandoning the past. She wants to go to Hollywood to experience a different life, but it doesn't mean she can't start a side job. forming.

Sarah wrote film reviews at the beginning in order to become famous and get more audition opportunities, but now she has participated in "Age of Love" and successfully set foot on the star path, and revealing the true identity of the prophet always makes Sarah feel in her heart Hairy, so the prophet will still be hidden in the mist for the time being.But Sarah can imagine that when the myth of Titanic first emerges, the prophet will truly ascend to the altar. If this resource is not used well, how wasteful it is?Fortunately, the prophet can still do something in the virtual world without revealing her true identity. In the late 90s, when the Internet economy was not yet formed, her opportunities were like stars in the night sky. There are too many!

"Beep beep..."

The pager rang at this moment, Sarah read the message on it, and her breathing froze for a moment.

"James Cameron is taking your email - Sam."

"Okay! I really need to buy a computer." Sarah held the pager and spread it out on the sofa, while little Noah nestled on her belly like a cat.

Sarah frowned and looked at her son, very serious and distressed: "What if he asks to meet?"

"Yes, baby Noah, we must stick to our principles, and we must never reveal our true selves! Absolutely not!"

"But...that's James Cameron!"

The author has something to say:

I want to say: James Cameron is actually quite handsome!

ThinkPad770 is a cross-age computer, and its appearance looks the same as the current notebook computer, except that it is thicker
