Eric put some bulky second-hand typewriters gently on the desk and wiped the sweat from the forehead, and I missed my previous life thin and light laptop. This is the second day he found his metamorphic memory. After a day of thinking, Eric has already had a preliminary plan for his future.

So he specially asked Jeff for a day off, went shopping for most of the day and bought this used typewriter. This is essential to realize your plan.

After dealing with the aftermath of Ralph, only a few hundred USD of cash remained in the hands of Eric at that time. In Western countries with a good welfare system, people have never had the habit of saving. Eric after rebirth is also fortunate. Fortunately, the house loan he lived in has been paid off. Sleeping on the streets. In this way, the money for the purchase of typewriters is still the one-month salary that Eric advances to Jeff.

To achieve your ideals, you must first enter the Hollywood circle. Don’t think about doing Director for the time being, when Actor is not a suitable path for him. To think about it, the best thing for him is to do screenwriter. Although people always say that the screenwriter status of Hollywood is low in this era, it is not true, because the top gold medals screenwriter have switched to Director and Producer, which is no different from the booming Hong Kong movies across the ocean.

Put a piece of manuscript paper into the typewriter, Eric raises his hand and taps the next line of letters on the keyboard: Jurassic Park. That’s right, it was the most profitable movie series in the 1990s.

Eric still remembers previous life. I bought the discs of “Jurassic Park” from vendors selling pirated discs and watched them with a group of friends. When the lifelike dinosaurs appeared on the TV screen, that feeling, It can only be described in one sentence: My friends and I were shocked.

The novel “Jurassic Park” in memory is published in 1990. The novel is only more than one hundred thousand words, so now Michael · Crichton must not have begun to write. Eric took it as his own. As for Michael · Crichton, it is said that such a life experience can be called a fantasy character. There is no “Jurassic Park” and Cretaceous Park.

The corner of Eric‘s mouth is slightly raised, and he is typing on the keyboard while recalling the past. He is not writing script of “Jurassic Park“, but a novel. previous life After he watched the movie, because of curiosity, he found Jurassic Park‘s novel and read it seriously. Now, with the memory of a high school student with good grades in school, it is more than enough to translate the Chinese version of previous life into English novels.

The reason why script is not written directly is that on the one hand, it is directly written that script is thrown into Film Studio, which is most likely thrown into waste basket as waste paper. The script received by Hollywood Film Studio every day can basically be calculated. On the other hand, Eric wants to firmly control the movie copyright of this series in its own hands, because even if it is now written as script, it is watched by a Film Studio with a good eye and is made into a movie. It can be those Film Studio, and Eric, in addition to tens of thousands of USD script manuscript remuneration, at most receive an additional dividend. Eric is definitely not going to do such a loss.

When the novel is published, Eric can firmly control the film and television copyright in its own hands, sell it at the right time and price, and maximize the benefits it can get.

The time immersed in work always passes quickly, until the sky is completely dark, and when Eric has looked down on the letters on the keyboard, I realize that I have written four or five hours in a row, unconsciously, belly It started to growl.

Standing up, Eric looked at the thick stack of manuscripts on the desk and stretched out with satisfaction. At this speed, the manuscript could be completed in about a week. After all, at this stage he will continue to be in the restaurant of Jeff Work, or you will be hungry.

Into the kitchen, Eric made a simple dinner for himself, rice plus a scrambled egg with tomatoes, typical Chinese home cooking, and the remaining bread, cheese, peanut butter and the like in the refrigerator, Eric is usually eaten as a snack these days Yes, although he inherited the memory of the original guy, the eating habits of the Orientals in his bones are still ingrained.

After a simple dinner, Eric came to the balcony on the second floor, leaning on the railing and looking at the surrounding night scene. The apartment he lives in is a small yard of less than two hundred square meters. The two-storey house is arbitrarily planted with some unknown flowers and plants. There is no hostess. The cheap father Ralph is also an informal person. Human life has always been rough. In my memory, when I was about seven or eight years old, my father and son moved from United Kingdom Renton to Los Angeles. Eric didn’t remember why Ralph did this, it was too small at that time, and according to the clues in the memory now, Eric could not figure out the clue, so I was too lazy to think about it.

After moving to Los Angeles, Ralph dragged the small Eric to visit Los Angeles for only two days. Then, under the introduction of a real estate agent, he bought this small courtyard, and everything seemed very messy. Eric smiled, and again it was the East Asians’ concept of cautious home ownership that made him guilty.

Stayed on the balcony for a while, and was planning to go back to the study to continue writing ” Jurassic Park “, I suddenly heard a ping-pong sound, what seems to be the sound of what glassware fell to the ground, Eric Set his sights on the neighbor’s home in the west, that is the home of the Runkels, a couple in their forties, the couple has three children, the eldest son has gone to college, a daughter is studying in boarding high school, the youngest son is only seven year old.

The couple may have encountered a middle-aged crisis, and they often quarreled during this time. Although the relationship between the Eric family and the Runkel family is good, Eric does not intend to go up to persuade them. Both of them are very restrained people, and there is no record of a big fight. If he hurries to persuade him, he can only embarrass the other party.

After a quick and vague quarrel and the sound of several pieces of equipment breaking, the door of the Ronker’s house was pushed open. The male host Charlie Sen Runkel was wearing a shirt and his hair ran out of the door messily. He ran two steps quickly and turned to the woman in the door, shouting: “Enough, I am fed up, deserves death, you bitch. Not to marry you to move to Los Angeles, I may already be a senior executive of General Motors, see what you look like now, Heavens!! “

“Go to death,” Mrs. Runkel, who always spoke softly, said at this time the voice was very high and sharp: “One of the three men who pursued me with you was now Congressman California, a person who resells oil in the Middle East, oil, do you know? The profit of a ship is worth your 100-year salary! It is the old lady who should regret it. Now, go to your General Motors to sleep, dear ‘General Company executives’! “

After Mrs. Runkel finished, she threw out a black coat and slammed the door shut.

Charlie Sen Runkel picked up his coat and patted, stood up and looked up just to see Eric standing on the balcony.

“I’m sorry to disturb you, Eric.” Charlie smiled pretendingly, and said to Eric.

“It doesn’t matter, Charlie Sen, would you like to … come and sit at my house?” Eric said.

Charlie Sen shook his head and said: “No, thank you, I … I plan to go to the bar. Wait … After a while, Mary should be out of breath.”

After finishing Charlie Sen, he nodded to Eric and launched his own car to the distance.

Eric returned to the house and remembered the scene of the quarrel between the two Runkels. A thought suddenly flashed in his mind. He sat at the desk and put a piece of manuscript paper into the typewriter. The idea just became clearer.

In the past two days, Eric has been thinking about what to write in his first script, and now he has an answer. That script was tailor-made for him. Well, because of the age difference, a lot of details need to be modified, but these are not problems, and the selling point of script is not in those details.
