Chapter 599 - outrageous
“What if the system forces me to copy books(!
Monday, another new week.
As usual, Shu Fujia is going to work part-time in the cafe inside the school. She also wants to work part-time in the library or computer room, or as a research assistant or teaching assistant for others, instead of the cafe waiter who has to meet countless schoolmates every day.
However, work-study opportunities on American campuses are very rare, and good jobs are even more rare.
Once the work-study opportunities with easy hourly wages and high wages appear, they will be assigned to students who have “connections” on campus, and these Asian students who are discriminated and excluded from time to time can only choose others to choose the remaining hard jobs, or If you have the guts, you choose to go off-campus to find a part-time job instead of relying on the school.
Fortunately, the work of the cafe is relatively simple, and the part-time work in the cafeteria and the student dormitory is much harder.
Her working hours are not fixed, the hourly salary is only $9.25, and the total working hours in a week cannot exceed 20 hours. The combined salary may not seem to be much, but it can reduce the pressure on the family a little!
Most of the people who study abroad belong to two situations: one is that the family is very rich or powerful, and they arrange to study abroad to soak in the salt water of foreign countries, so that they can become a good name for returnees after returning to China; the other is to rely on With their own efforts and talents, they are admitted to foreign institutions to study in foreign institutions. Most of these family conditions are generally gnashing their teeth to provide for their children to study.
It is said that it is not without reason that children from poor families are in charge of their homes early.
Because she likes Hollywood, she stubbornly chose the University of California, Los Angeles (for short) when she applied for a school. Even if she only won a half award, she wanted to come here. Obviously, there are schools of the same level who are willing to provide her with a full scholarship. chance.
The campus in the morning is a vibrant scene. Many students are reading books in the sunshine. Some students are throwing Frisbees on the lawn, some are playing skateboards, and some people are hurriedly skating on the campus avenues on roller skates.
Soon, Su Fujia arrived at her destination today.
Café-1919 is a very popular place for students. There are Italian pizza, panini and sandwiches, fruit cups, yogurt cups and so on.
“Good morning, Jiajia.” A middle-aged Caucasian woman in an apron greeted her with a smile. She looked a little fat, and she didn’t know if she ate a lot of pizza at home.
Shu Fujia did not take the rest of the English names, and directly asked her friends to call her fujia or jiajia.
Taking the bag off his neck, Soufflé said pitifully, “I’m sorry, I’m late to show a father who came looking for the child, Marianne.”
Marianne was friendly to these students who came to work part-time. She waved her hand and said, “I have free time now, it’s fine.”
The store owners who are almost willing to accept students to do work-study programs are very friendly in character, and there will never be such bad situations as racial discrimination.
Since the person in charge of the cashier came, Marianne naturally gave her the seat, and she went to the back kitchen to see if the ingredients were ready. Sandwiches and pizza were in great demand at noon.
From time to time, customers came in through the open door. Soufflé wrote down what these customers ordered on the computer, and the back kitchen could see it naturally, so that the food was prepared.
“A latte, a beef and cheese sandwich.”
“I want a cup of yogurt.”
After the two girls finished ordering, they moved to the waiting area aside and waited to pack and pick up the meal.
In the spare time when there are no new customers, Soufflé quietly took out the latest issue of “Faith Times” magazine she bought on the road and put it next to the ordering machine. These top gossips and the latest Hollywood current affairs hotspots are her only hobbies!
[Swift: The Uncertain Super Bowl Halftime Show]
[Amazon Lily spends huge sums of money to invite ten top directors in the industry to collaborate on new dramas]
[Vivian may be the biggest winner of this year’s Victoria’s Secret]
[Universal Pictures is preparing for the “Lord of the Rings” movie]
As a Chinese, she actually saw an article related to Chinese people in the top Hollywood entertainment magazines that she usually read, which made her turn to the corresponding page directly.
“This young compatriot is also amazing! How long after the work was published, Hollywood giants have come to cooperate with him, but unfortunately he did not win the cover of the magazine.”
Among these news, Soufflé is most concerned about “The Lord of the Rings”.
Because she is from the same country as Li Chungang, many foreign students in the school will deliberately come to her to ask her some related things, and many of them are asking if Li Chungang has other works that have been translated into English, and can you introduce them to them. …..
In the book club, many people discussed with her about the book “The Lord of the Rings” and the author Li Chungang.
“I’ll take a sip of water first to suppress my shock. This news came a little off guard!”
“When did Universal Pictures buy the copyright of “The Lord of the Rings”? It hasn’t been disclosed before!” Shuffjia asked frantically in her heart, “Sure enough, the Age of Faith is still the Age of Faith. This top industry secret!”
However, at this time, a white boy with a scooter came in to place an order. She had to temporarily take her eyes away from the magazine, hoping that she would not be disturbed by customers for the time being, so that she could concentrate on the news report. Read the content first.
Although it is a bit unkind to have this kind of emotion during working hours, it is estimated that everyone who works or part-time has the experience of fishing at work and wants to relax.
Probably because God, the old man heard the prayer in Souffa’s heart, and for more than ten minutes after that, no new customers came in, so she could quietly read this article in one breath.
Mingming’s major has nothing to do with Hollywood, but Shu Fujia has a good grasp of the gossip in it because of her hobbies.
“Did this editor get the numbers wrong? The copyright transaction fee for “The Lord of the Rings” is estimated at one-hundred-, one hundred and one million… that’s not one… one… One hundred million?”
There is no unit of 100 million in English expressions, only 100 million is used to express, otherwise it will jump directly to one billion.
As Hollywood reports, the unit they give is definitely US dollars, not renminbi.
A $100 million copyright deal sounds like an exaggeration!
I originally liked the authority of this magazine, but now Shu Fujia has to question its authenticity. Could it be that 10 million is deliberately exaggerated to 100 million?
In fact, the copyright fee of 10 million US dollars is already very amazing. At least for so long, it has often been reported that a certain film company has won the copyright, but no one has ever reached tens of millions. That is a very, very high threshold.
She has forgotten the transfer price of film copyrights of literary works in recent years, but if she remembers correctly, it should not be over 100 million yuan.
The copyright fee alone will cost 100 million yuan. How high is the global box office to recover the cost!
The netizens on Twitter are also stunned. They don’t know why the age of belief, which has always been reliable, gives such outrageous numbers. The credibility is almost zero!
“False news!”
“Universal Pictures can’t possibly give such a price!”
“Where did this figure come from ~www.mtlnovel.com~ It should be a film investment of 100 million US dollars?”
“I guess it must be the quotation given by the author himself, purely to hype the topic.”
“Where is the Federal Revenue Service, go check your taxes!”
“I don’t believe it, is The Lord of the Rings really that good?”
“…”
