Chapter 130 Goal
Just after eight o'clock in the evening, Evan and Audrey left the venue early.
After the first meeting, Evan became familiar with Hughes in just a few words.
The name of Evan's movie was spotted by Hughes, so he even wanted to remove the movie from the theater and find time to release it again.
When Evan left, Hughes gave him a business card and told him to watch the ceremony on the day of the "Hughes H-4 Hercules" first flight.
On the way back, Evan, who was sitting in the back of the car, played with the special business card. Audrey, who saw this, was worried.
After holding on for a long time, Audrey grabbed the business card and looked at Evan and asked, "You don't really want to get on the big plane that you have never taken off, right?"
Audrey stared at Evan without moving eyes, fearing that he would nod.
Hughes is a lunatic, and Audrey doesn't want Evan to go crazy with him.
Evan was stunned at first, then chuckled, stretched out his hand, held Audrey in his arms, and comforted him softly: "Look, I have to install a seat belt myself when I get in a car. How could a person as afraid of death like me do such a thing?"
"I will definitely go on the day of the plane's test flight. I won't hide this from you, but at most I just watch it take off with a telescope on the ground, and I have never had the idea of sitting in the plane."
"You have to believe me this."
Audrey thought about it and it seemed that it was indeed the case.
Especially when installing a car seat belt, it is very convincing.
You know, on the day when Virginia was in a car accident, Evan used Virginia's example to tell Audrey how effective the seat belt was.
After a little reassuring, Audrey asked again: "Speaking of this, Evan, do you care so much about this Howard Hughes, do you want to make him your life goal?"
Evan was stunned at first, and after a while, he replied: "Well, it can't be considered a target..."
"I admire him just because of his persistence and pursuit of technology. You must know that it is precisely because of him that American aviation technology can develop so quickly."
"As for his attitude towards life... we are completely two types of people!"
Audrey then asked, "Then...what are your real goals in life?"
"Life goal... This topic is a bit big..." Evan thought for a while and said, "Huces has driven the fastest plane and has countless women... These are not what I want."
"I just want to have the woman I love the most and then become the most skilled among the richest people in the United States!"
As Evan spoke, his eyes stared at Audrey with his eyes fixed on him.
...
Ten minutes later, the two returned to the hut in the forest.
As soon as he entered the room, Audrey, whose cheeks were red, couldn't wait to carefully remove the sapphire necklace around her neck and put it in a special box.
After seeing this, Evan smiled and said, "Since you like it, why not wear it more?"
"Anyway, Old Friesman said he can give him any time he said."
That's right, this necklace was not bought by Evan for Audrey, but borrowed by Audrey himself and Friesman the old.
Audrey ignored Evan's "bewitching", found the muslin, and carefully wiped off the oil stains on the necklace.
As a woman, Audrey certainly likes jewelry, but she doesn't want to get these extravagant things through shortcuts.
No matter how good things are, only what you work hard with yourself is your own, and you can have them for a long time.
This was taught by Audrey's mother.
Looking at Audrey's serious face while maintaining her necklace, Evan suddenly said: "A month later will be your birthday. Are there any gifts you particularly want?"
Audrey shook his hands when she heard this, and then continued to wipe the sapphire while saying without looking back: "Of course there is!"
"But, don't gifts be kept confidential? So, I don't want to say it, you guess it yourself!"
"Ah? That's it..." Evan narrowed his eyes and said, "If I guessed it, is there any reward!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Audrey covered the jewelry box, turned her head, looked at Evan with water-like eyes and said, "Of course there is!"
Looking at Audrey, whose mouth was raised like a fox, Evan suddenly moved inside and was stunned for a moment.
...
Howard Hughes's new film, which has only been released for less than three days, was suddenly released in full swing.
There are rumors that Howard Hughes, who is a producer, and the film director Preston Sturgess had a conflict over the expression of the film, which led to the incident. But Sturgess soon publicly refuted this argument.
They don't know the real reason just that Howard Hughes wanted to change the title and edit the movie again.
Of course, Evan is one of the few insiders.
Howard Hughes's film company lost a lot of money in this movie, but he didn't care.
However, when the movie renamed "Crazy Wednesday" was re-released, almost three years had passed. Howard Hughes had acquired RKO Pictures, one of the Hollywood giants, and the Pontergis Theater was also acquired.
...
On April 6, the California Institute of Technology's "Planet Walker House" club publicly recruited new members. Students interested in joining the club need to participate in an IQ test and exceed the club's baseline. After hearing that Evan is also a member of this club, many people came to participate in the test, but only 56 people paid the membership fee and merged into the club.
This number is less than Rick imagined.
...
Since playing Rubik's Cube, Gillard has fallen in love with intelligence games. And this kind of love tends to become increasingly strong.
His favorite intelligence game in the past was Rubik's Cube, but now it has become a "Planet Walker House" card, even if the card is still a semi-finished product.
In this regard, Gillard is exactly the same as the otaku who changed his "wife" every quarter in later generations.
Gillard is a person who can do a good job and work extremely hard as long as he likes it.
In order to let the cards be released earlier and I can play the finished product earlier, Gillard worked day and night.
When this project was handed over by Carl to Gillard, Gillard had to accomplish two things.
First, speed up the drawing of card surfaces.
The second is to determine the library of the first version of the card, and balance must stand the test.
In order to speed up the output of card surfaces, Gillard did two things: one was to increase the number of painters, and the other was to ask Evan to explain the world view of the cards to the painters and specify the style of monsters under the cards of the same color. The purpose of the latter was to allow the painters to broaden their imagination while trying to maintain the consistency of the styles of the pictures produced.
As for determining the deck and balance, these things were done by part-time students at Caltech, Gillard simply refused to let them go.
After doing it, I found a few full-time employees who studied mathematics to check the balance of the cards.
The number of the first version of the card library was also determined early, which was 360, and if there were five resource cards (land cards), it was 365.
Since the creator of the card is Evan, only he can determine whether the card surface is suitable, Gillard will come to Evan with his drawings almost every day and ask him to review it.
In order to get rid of this job, Evan asked Gillard to select an artistic director from the artist group. Gillard nodded and agreed, but he still came to the door on time every day.
Whether Evan was in school or in a cottage in the woods.
With Gillard's life-thrust, the card output speed increased by two or three times, but the quality did not decrease much.
In this way, all 365 cards were completed in mid-May.
During this period, Gillard also completed the screening work of the printing factory, as well as the selection of card paper and ink.
Therefore, as soon as the card surface is completed, the printing starts synchronously.
Chapter completed!
