MTL - I’m in Hollywood-Chapter 4 Motivated

"That's the way, Eric, can you hand this book to my publishing house to work?" Michael Klaus did not hide his intentions and said it straightforwardly.

Eric looked at the black girl who had finished printing and was binding, and then said to Michael Klaus: "Sorry, Michael, although thank you very much for your approval, but you know, I want to go to some of the larger publications. The club is trying its luck. Just like every parent, they want their children to be admitted to the Ivy League school. Are you right?"

Michael’s expression was not disappointing, but smiled. “Eric, have you fully understood the large publishers? Maybe we can find a place to talk. I know there is a coffee shop not far away. , I treat you, how?"

Eric took the black girl's bound manuscript and packed the first draft into the bag. He refused directly: "Sorry, Michael, I am going to be late for work. If the manuscript is rejected by those publishers, I will Contact you."

After Eric finished, he took his backpack out of the printing shop and started the car to the Italian restaurant. Michael in the print shop just hesitated a little, immediately rushed out of the store and drove up. He has an intuition that if he misses this opportunity, he may regret it for a lifetime. This intuitionary three-point is directed at the novel called Jurassic Park, and the seven points are indeed for the young man Eric.

Although he only read the first half of the novel, Michael was surprised to find that Eric not only incorporated many high-tech factors such as genetic engineering, chaos theory, and nanotechnology that his teens of this age might not have heard of in the novel. And without losing the fun of the novel, the plot twists and turns are fascinating.

He has not seen examples of integrating many high-tech into novels, but most of them use oysters, and even write some novels into popular science books. That type of novel is obviously not for all types of readers. Please.

Eric parked the car in the parking lot and turned to find a black car that was not far away. Michael Klaus came down from the car and apparently followed him. This made Eric's vanity little satisfaction in the heart, and unconsciously had a good impression on Michael.

"Hey, Eric." Michael raised his hand to Eric and was about to talk. Eric pointed to his watch and said, "That, Michael, look, it’s nine o'clock. I will If you are a waitress in this Italian restaurant, maybe you don't mind ordering another breakfast? The restaurant is very free before ten o'clock, and there is an hour."

Michael nodded intently and followed Eric into the restaurant.

Eric changed his clothes, and Michael was already sitting in the window seat, with an early breakfast and seven or eight eight.

"I explained it to Mr. Jeff, but you have to hurry." Eric sat down opposite Michael and then smiled: "I am young, but not so easy to be convinced."

Michael smiled and said: "I believe that you have listened to my explanation and will definitely hand over the book to me. I just said that you may not know about the large publishers, just right, I used to be in Simon & Schuster spent eleven years in the beginning of the basic review editor, because the competition department manager failed to leave, and he founded the Night Elf Press."

"Does this have anything to do with the topic we are going to talk about now?" As a Loser, Eric was most afraid of others telling his own history of struggle, and could not help but insert a sentence.

"Don't worry, young people, I said these are just for you to know. My next words are true and trustworthy. Do you know that when I first did the review editor, I would review tens of thousands or even dozens every day. The manuscript of 4D. Although there are a lot of bad manuscripts, there are a lot of manuscripts that have accumulated publishing value. At most, the number of books published in one year has reached 2,000. You can imagine that you are The identity of a new person, even if published, how much promotional marketing resources can you get from these thousands of publications?"

After Michael finished, he stopped and drank his mouth, leaving Eric with some time to think. Eric recognized Michael's words in his heart, but did not say anything, just use his eyes to signal Michael to continue.

Michael raised his hand slightly, as if in a speech: "My publishing house is small, but I have a lot of experience in book publishing and marketing. Moreover, my publishing house has mainly done this in recent years. It is the publication of novels such as science fiction, adventure, and horror. Although only a dozen novels are published each year, they have already gained a certain reputation in the industry. You handed me the Jurassic Park, then in the next period of time. I promise to use the resources I have mastered to distribute this novel, and in the shortest possible time, I will start the book's fame. And in my experience, under my full operation, this is likely to rush into the bestseller. Book leaderboard."

Michael illuminates all his cards and waits quietly for Eric's decision.

Eric was a bit absent-minded about Michael's rhetoric. A small or micro-publisher, even if all the resources can have much energy?

He is already a middle-aged uncle in his bones. In the complicated circle of the past life, he has seen strange pigs running around the world. Of course, it won't be because Michael Klaus's words are very tempting and tempting, just like a young and **** young man changing his original intention. However, in fact, Michael has poked Eric's heart in one sentence: in the shortest possible time, the name of Jurassic Park was launched.

No matter in what era, fame is an intangible but useful resource. Eric is now going to realize his plan. His biggest weakness is age. A young person naturally gives people a feeling of being untrustworthy.

But if you have enough fame, this shortcoming will be well covered. An 18-year-old high school student is a filmmaker, and everyone will accuse him of chaos, not knowing how to be tall. And if an 18-year-old genius writer makes a movie, the result will definitely be different. There will definitely be criticism, but more people will definitely say: Oh, the genius boy is doing something amazing.

Eric tried to say: "I have to say, Michael, I have some heartbeat in your conditions. However, these are your words, I don't know your publishing house completely."

"It's a good testimony," Michael said without hesitation: "On the recent New York Times bestseller list, there is just one book from my publishing house on the list, although it is only the last one, but this book Movie copyright has been purchased by Twentieth Century Fox and is likely to be made into a movie in the next few years."

Eric believes in Michael's words, he does not need to lie on this easy to be dismantled, said: "So, how about we take the time to talk about specific cooperation?"

Michael glanced and said: "You...do you agree?"

"Yes," Eric nodded and smiled. "To be honest, I can't wait to see my novel being made into a book."

"So, how about tonight, I think you may need a job now." Michael pointed to the guests who were getting more and more in the restaurant.

After the two agreed on the meeting place, Michael left the restaurant with satisfaction.

"Eric, what did you talk to that person just now, look like you are very happy now?" Jeff asked, just now Eric just said something to discuss with friends, so he was curious.

Eric handed the menu of the guest just to the colleague in the kitchen, and then to the guest waiter's Jeff: "Good news, Jeff, who was just the owner of a publishing house, I am going to publish my novel soon. ""

Jeff is a little messy, and some suspicions: "Fiction, you didn't say that you were writing a script yesterday, how to rewrite the novel, do you give up the director's ideal so quickly, intend to be a writer?"

Eric said: "Of course not, my goal is not to change at will. When the director and the novel are not in conflict, isn't it? Right, my novel is in my backpack in the locker room, Jeff you can Go and have a look, help me with something."

Jeff turned to the dressing room with doubts. He thought Eric’s novel was a short story of a few thousand words. When he saw a thick stack of manuscripts, Jeff’s eyes almost came out. This has more than 100,000 words, and I have never written so many words in my life.

Spend some of the busiest dining hours at noon and have a little leisure. The staff of the restaurant discovered that it seems that the boss has been disappearing for several hours. This is very rare for a fat man who likes to wander around and show his sense of existence.

When the employees negotiated whether they were looking for the boss, Jeff got out of the locker room and patted Eric’s shoulder: “A very good novel, I am sure one thing, you are very fast. I will resign." After these words, Jeff left the old god.

As soon as the boss figure disappeared, a group of people gathered around to ask what happened to Eric.

So throughout the afternoon, from time to time, waiters and even kitchen staff took time to drill into the locker room and took turns reading Eric's several manuscripts. Even after work, a beautiful waitress in the restaurant asked with a spoiled question whether he could take the manuscript home to see.

Although the pretty girl's winking makes Eric somewhat smug, Eric can only refuse to make such a request. Although several copies of the novel have not been used, it is nothing to lend to her, but the novel has not been published after all, and he does not want to make any situation before this. I have known other people's works as such things. I have never known this in ancient and modern times. He has experienced this kind of thing in his previous life.
