Chapter Five Hundred and Ninetieth IX Is Outrageous
"What if the system forces me to copy books ()"!
Monday, another brand new week.
As usual, Shu Fujia plans to work part-time in the school's coffee shop. 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 being a waiter in the coffee shop who has to contact countless students in the school every day.
However, opportunities for work-study programs on American campuses are very rare, and good jobs are even more rare.
Those work-study opportunities with easy hourly wages and high wages will be assigned to classmates with "relationships" in the school as soon as they arise, and these Asian students who are discriminated against and excluded from time to time can only choose others to choose the remaining hard positions, or I have the backbone to choose to find a part-time job outside the school instead of relying on the school.
Fortunately, the job in the coffee shop is relatively simple, and the part-time job in the cafeteria and student dormitory is much more difficult.
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 like much, but it can slightly reduce the pressure on the family!
Most of the people who study abroad fall into two situations: one is that the family is particularly rich or powerful, and arranges to study abroad to soak in foreign salt water, so that they can get a good name as a returnee after returning home; the other is to rely on With their own hard work and talent, they are admitted to foreign colleges and universities. Most of the family conditions in this category are generally gritting their teeth to support their children to study.
It is said that there is no reason for children from poor families to take charge of the family early.
Because she likes Hollywood, Shu Fujia stubbornly chose the University of California, Los Angeles (abbreviation) when applying for schools. Even if she only won a half award, she wanted to come here. Obviously, there are other schools at the same level willing to provide her with a full scholarship. Opportunity.
The campus in the morning is a lively scene. Many students are reading in the sun, some are throwing Frisbees on the lawn, some are playing skateboards, and some are gliding hurriedly on the avenue of the campus on roller skates.
Soon, Shu Fujia arrived at her destination today.
Café—1919 is a very popular place for students. It has 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 too much pizza at home.
Shu Fujia didn't take the rest of the English name, and directly asked her friends to call her fujia or jiajia.
Take the satchel off your neck,
Shu Fujia said pitifully: "I'm sorry, I was late to guide a father who came to find his child just now, Marianne."
Marianne was more friendly to these part-time students. She waved her hand and said, "I'm free now, it's okay."
Stores that are almost willing to accept students as work-study students are very friendly in character, and there will never be such bad situations as racial discrimination.
Now that the person in charge of the cash register 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 come in through the open door. Shu Fujia writes down the orders of these customers on the computer, and the back kitchen can see them naturally, so as to prepare the meals.
"A latte, a beef cheese sandwich."
"I'll just have a cup of yogurt."
After the two girls finished ordering, they began to move to the waiting area aside to wait for the package to be picked up.
In the spare time when there are no new customers, Shu Fujia quietly took out the latest issue of "Age of Faith" magazine she bought on the road and put it next to the order machine. These top gossips and the latest Hollywood current events are her only hobbies!

[Universal Pictures is preparing for the movie "Lord of the Rings"]
As a native of China, she actually saw an article about Chinese people in the top Hollywood entertainment magazine she usually reads, which made her directly turn to the corresponding page.
"This young compatriot is too amazing! Not long after the work was published, Hollywood giants have come to cooperate with him, but it's a pity that he didn't win the cover of the magazine."
Among these news, Shu Fujia is most concerned about "Lord of the Rings".
Because she is from the same country as Li Chungang, many foreign students in the school will deliberately come to ask her about some related things. Many of them are asking if Li Chungang has other works that have been translated into English, and can they introduce them to them, etc. .....
In the book club, many people discussed with her the book "The Lord of the Rings" and the author Li Chungang.
"I'll take a sip of water first to calm down the shock, this news came a bit unexpectedly!"
"When did Universal Pictures buy the copyright of "The Lord of the Rings"? There was no word about it before that!" Shu Fujia asked frantically in her heart, "Sure enough, the Age of Faith is still the Age of Faith, as long as we can dig out the copyright of "Lord of the Rings" This top industry secret comes!"
However, at this time, another white boy with a scooter came in to order. She had to look away from the magazine for a while, hoping that no customers would disturb her for the time being, so that she could concentrate on reporting this news. Read the content first.
Although it is not kind to have such emotions 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 it was God who heard Shu Fujia's inner prayer, and no new customers came in for more than ten minutes after that, so that she could quietly read this article in one breath.
Obviously her major has nothing to do with Hollywood, but Shu Fujia has a good grasp of gossip because of her hobby.
"Did this editor make a mistake in the number? The copyright transaction cost of "Lord of the Rings" is estimated to be one-hundred-, one hundred and one million... that is one...one... Is it 100 million?"
In English expression, there is no unit of one hundred million, and only one hundred million is used to express it, otherwise it will jump directly to one billion.
As reported by Hollywood, the unit they give must be US dollars, not RMB.
A copyright deal worth $100 million sounds like an exaggeration!
I liked the authority of this magazine very much, but now Shu Fujia has to question the 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 astonishing. At least for so long, there have been frequent reports 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 had somewhat forgotten the film copyright transfer price of literary works in recent years, but if I remember correctly, it should not exceed 100 million.
The copyright fee alone costs 100 million yuan, how high the global box office is to recover the cost!
Netizens on Twitter are also confused, wondering why the always reliable Age of Faith would give such outrageous numbers, the credibility is almost zero!
"False news!"
"It is impossible for Universal Pictures to give such a high price!"
"Where did this number come from? It should be that the film invested 100 million U.S. dollars?"
"I guess it must be the quotation given by the author himself, purely to hype up the topic."
"Where is the Federal Taxation Bureau, go and check the tax!"
"I don't believe it. Is The Lord of the Rings really that good?"
"..."
