Hollywood Starts with Animation
Chapter 4
"Forget it. I don''t think too much now. It''s time to cook dinner."
Zucker came to the kitchen, took the ingredients from the refrigerator and began to cook dinner.
Dinner is Chinese, of course!
It''s been more than a month since he arrived in the United States. He began to enjoy the original American foreign food, but after eating it for such a long time, he was tired of it. Today, he plans to cook a Chinese meal himself. As for whether Zhuke can cook?
Single dog to understand!
Not to mention cooking, water, electricity and gas are all proficient.
Soon.
Gongbao chicken, boiled meat slices, Mapo bean curd and steamed rice with sausage were cooked one after another.
"Bashi... Three dishes and one meal, no change for any immortal!"
Zucker sat down to eat, and just then there was a knock on the door.
The door opened.
"Hey, Zhuke, you''ve been disappearing for nearly ten days. Fortunately, you came back today, otherwise I would have called the police."
After James Sean came in, he was not polite and sat directly opposite to Zhuke. He was Zhuke''s neighbor, an old neighbor for more than ten years.
"It''s OK. I just went out to do something." Said Zucker.
"Oh, well. By the way, this is my gift to you. I hope you like it. " James Sean said suddenly.
The gift is packed in a gift box. When you open it, you can see that it''s a Jersey, the basketball jersey of the Los Angeles Lakers.
It''s also a signature Jersey.
May your mother rest in heaven, far away from the world. At the same time, I hope that Jack Wald will be happy forever
Elvin Johnson?
Isn''t that the famous Magic Johnson in NBA?!
This signature Jersey is very popular with basketball fans.
Even though Zhuke is not a fan, he is a basketball fanatic with his original body. He once participated in NBA draft. After he lost the election, he also loved basketball deeply and talked wildly about buying an NBA team in the future.
Zhuke is a layman, but he also understands the value of this signature Jersey!
How much is it?
It''s worth 1000 dollars!
Well, that''s the kind of person that Zucker is.
Love and money are two, Zucker did not hesitate to choose the latter.
"I just got into the eye of money. Why? Is it wrong to like money? I''m not superficial, I''m practical, I''m carrying forward the style of hard work and plain living. "
Zhuke couldn''t help thinking.
Even if Zhuke is worth a million now, isn''t $1000 money?
"Wait a minute!"
Choking his joy, Zhuke said, "James, first of all, how much are you going to sell me this time?"
Hearing this, James Sean immediately jumped up with a sullen face.
"How can you say that, chuck? Am I the kind of person who only knows money? I tell you, you are wrong! "
Who doesn''t know who has been the leader for more than ten years?
They are all foxes for thousands of years. Who are you going to sing Liaozhai with!
"Ha ha!"
As soon as Zhu Ke patted his forehead, he couldn''t help laughing: "James, you said how many things you have sold to me since you grew up. Look at this room, this dining table, this sofa, this TV, and a lot of hand-held toys in my room. Well, this juice machine. Don''t you look familiar with it?
Which one didn''t you sell me?
Especially for this juicer, other people''s home is 50 dollars a set, which is cheaper during the discount period, but you charge me 150 dollars because of Michael Jackson''s signature? Bullshit signature. I think you signed it. At the beginning of each time, they said it was a gift, but without saying a few words, they talked about the price. "
If you don''t say it''s OK, you''ll get angry when you say it!
The best!
James Sean, the old leader, is a big loser. The money he made from the original owner alone is no less than thousands of dollars.
Well, from the original memory, every time he finished shopping, he was very grateful to James Sean. It''s a lack of heart. Not only that, in the whole street where Zhuke lives, none of his family has failed. They have all successfully sold their products. It is said that they have a good reputation!
"Er..."
"Zhuke, you let me down. I thought we were excellent friends, but... But your words today have successfully hurt our friendship. It''s like a sharp steel knife into my chest. I''m full of blood when I pull it out!"
James Sean was not a casual person either. He was stunned at first, and then began to pour out bitter water.
Even if Zhuke is always expressionless, but James is always saying, always talking!
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
He''s still talking!
"How can you say the signature is fake?"
"It''s all genuine. I''ve been queuing up to get this signature Jersey."
"For this jersey, I''ve fought with millions of US troops for three days and three nights."
All right, juke compromised.
James real Sean, it''s so awesome. I''ll never stop until I reach my goal!
After half an hour of talking about it, no one can stand it.
"Come on, how much is it?" Zucker holds his forehead.
"Money? You told me about money? What is money? Is it comparable to our friendship? You are insulting me James''s eyes widened.
"100 dollars!"
Zucker is not wordy. Seeing that he still has to speak, he immediately interrupted: "if you agree, leave the shirt. If you don''t agree, I will go to bed."
"Deal!"
James Sean agreed without hesitation, in an astonishing tone.
"Don''t you mean to talk about money, that''s insulting you?" Zucker''s face is playful.
"Good friend, clear account. Even if it''s insulting, it''s a frolic among friends. How can you take it seriously? Isn''t that hurting our friendship? "
James Sean was firm and convincing. I''m not ashamed, but proud.
Talent!
On this cheeky ability, it''s not talent!
Even an ordinary brick has its value.
Although James Sean is not a great talent, he is also a crook. He has his own cleverness and way of dealing with people. Even though he annoyed you in the process of sales promotion at that time, he always had a way to make you feel good about him after the event. He also often helped the widowed old people to work. This is also the reason why he has a good reputation despite his bad behavior.
"Why? James has good eloquence and sales skills. It should not be a problem to be the manager of a store around a movie. " It occurred to Zhuke.
Zhuke doesn''t plan to tie himself to the stores around the movie. He''s the man who wants to enter Hollywood!
The reason why he chose to believe in James, who had cheated himself, is that he learned from Zhuke''s memory that James had saved Zhuke''s life and helped Zhuke out of it many times in school.
.......
Three days later.
Under the guidance of real estate agents, Zuker has explored many commercial streets in Losangeles, especially the streets near the bustling cinema, such as Hollywood, China Grand Theater, Universal Studios, Disney studios, etc.
For the next week, Zhuke was busy with the chain stores around the movie.
Finally, seven positions were selected, all of which were good positions.
And bought the front room of 3 stores among them, other 4 stores, chose to rent.
"How dark! Three stores cost me nearly $2 million, including the cost of renting four stores. My original $2.62 million is less than $100000 now. "
Zhuke''s heart is bleeding!
It''s totally unexpected to spend so much money. The prices of shops, especially those in prosperous locations, are too high.
"I have to take three shops, go to the bank for loans, and then I go to Pixar Animation Studio."
Although the cost is expensive, Zhuke thinks it''s worth it. As long as he waits for toy story to be released, he can double his investment.
