Recently, Greg Salton has been in a very low mood. He thought that a door had opened to him, and he was finally going to enter a new world of lawyers. However, in the blink of an eye, he disappeared like a cloud of smoke. He was still the same 300-year-old lawyer. Block bottom entertainment lawyer.
Lawyer is a high-paying profession, and his annual salary would be called middle-class, but he has three children, two in elementary school and one in kindergarten. He wants to go to a good private school and live a good standard of living. If you have to pay for your mortgage, it will actually be very difficult after one year.
This is called the trouble of middle-class families. And he also has pursuits,
If you want to attend the most lively and pinnacle dinner parties in the industry, if you want to compete with those blockbusters at the negotiation table, if you want to create a new contract that affects the entire industry, like the break-even point, in the lawyer world, that is The coolest thing!
Only a gold medal lawyer can do that!
But now, with the betrayal of Willis's team, and as he seems to have lost Ye Wei's trust, the door has been closed again, and the light of hope has disappeared.
Lawyer Salton is very depressed, he really has never done it!
But what's the use? He is still sitting in a small toilet-like office of less than 350 square feet (30 square meters), receiving low-level employees in the entertainment industry, explaining various legal issues to them over and over again, just like An IT programmer reinstalls the system of other people's broken computers again and again, and his dream is to go to Silicon Valley to program.
"My dear, don't think too much. Now Ye Wei is also in trouble. He can't promote you." His wife Linda comforted you.
"No, Linda, you don't understand, Wei Ge is a genius! He will not be ordinary, he will definitely be someone. If you have never been in contact with that young man, you don't know how full of confidence, talent, passion and enthusiasm he is. Vitality, this kind of people will be successful in whatever they do, you don¡¯t understand"
How could he be relieved, "Have you seen "Dance of Angels"? In this industry, there is no other 15-year-old with this ability, only Ye Wei!"
"Then you should make it clear to him that you have never deceived him."
"I have already said it, but I said you believe me, but there is already a gap between us. Will you choose a lawyer with a gap? Hey!"
"Greg, I have an idea. Why don't we and our family pay a visit? You and Ye Wei can make this clear."
"Being a guest? That's a good idea I also know his parents. That's it. I'll call them and ask them if they can do it today."
Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao are hospitable people. In addition, Ye Wei said OK and just one phone call later, they agreed to have a social dinner tonight.
It was just dark that day, and the Salton family came to visit Ye's house, bringing several seafood delicacies they bought and carefully prepared gifts.
Ye Wei picked up trash all morning today, and everyone played at the beach for a long time in the afternoon. The happy mood continues to this day. He smiled and went to the front yard with his family to receive guests, and then took the gift and opened it. He saw an exquisite A gold Montblanc pen costs hundreds of dollars.
"Wow, thank you. This gift is great. I like it. I can't wait to sign it with it." Ye Wei really liked it.
Next to her, Duoduo was also opening her own gift, a baby doll. She hugged it tightly with joy, "Thank you, it's so cute! I like it!"
"Let's talk after everyone goes into the room." Ye Haogen enthusiastically brought the guests into the room.
After entering the house, Ye Haogen and Toto played with the children in the hall, Gu Qiao and Linda went to prepare dinner, while Ye Wei and Salton walked in the back garden and talked about business.
"Weige, I want to make it clear to you that I was not aware of the contract trap set up by the Willis team." Salton said very solemnly.
"I know, I know." Ye Wei nodded, thinking back to that time, after he discovered the trap, Lawyer Salton also asked the other party to renegotiate the contract. It was obvious.
But he did have some thoughts about changing his personal lawyer, just because Lawyer Salton's professional level seemed not to be high. He was already a rookie in the industry, and the lawyer couldn't be a rookie too, otherwise he would not be able to deal with this situation again. What about luck?
It¡¯s just that listening to the lawyer¡¯s sincere words now makes him hesitate again
Salton suddenly sighed and said: "As a lawyer, I know that my negligence last time was unforgivable, but I really hope you can give me another chance. I can't guarantee that I won't do it again in the future." Whatever the mistake, I can only say that I will try my best to make things right.¡±
"Lawyer, why do you think I have a bright future?" Ye Wei couldn't help but smile and thought, I can actually give others a chance.
"We all know how promising you are to be your lawyer.It is my honor to be a teacher. "
Salton¡¯s poker face was full of seriousness. He looked at the night sky that was getting darker and darker, and his tone was full of frustration:
"I have been practicing entertainment law for almost ten years. Although I have opened my own office, my biggest client is you. The others are just producers of independent films that may never be distributed, and some come to Los Angeles with dreams. I am a bit actor who is struggling. I serve as a consultant for them, register companies, and formulate contracts In order to expand my business, I also opened some legal consultations outside the entertainment industry, and I am deviating from the film and television industry.¡±
He sighed again, his middle-aged face full of sighs, "In the hearts of Bell, Hannah and Herman, their father is a big lawyer, but no, I am just an unknown little guy struggling on the edge of the industry. Role. But I believe that you can give me a name and make me that person in the children's hearts."
Listening to these, Ye Wei was touched and moved in his heart. Lawyer Salton needs a chance, just like himself. Give him a chance. Who can be sure that they will not become big shots?
How can a person not make mistakes? He was embarrassed both on the set and in the editing room.
The first person to appreciate and value him was this poker-faced guy, Greg Salton. The person who provided him with free legal help many times was also this guy.
This guy is his friend.
"Lawyer, you know, I have always been grateful to you." Ye Wei smiled and made a decision: "You will continue to be my lawyer, let's make progress together."
Salton immediately smiled with rare joy, "Thank you, I also want to thank you for your trust in me. I hope the next contract will come soon, and I will not let myself make mistakes again."
"You don't know yet?" Ye Wei was confused, "Oh, I don't seem to have informed youthings have changed."
"What change?" Salton's heart skipped a beat. What should he know?
"Tom Hanks has decided to invest in my project. We will have the first meeting next Tuesday. You'd better go with us." Ye Wei said with a smile.
Salton¡¯s eyes suddenly widened and his expression became so rich, ¡°You mean, the Tom Hanks who played Forrest Gump?¡±
"Hahaha, this is also my first reaction. From this point of view, we really have a tacit understanding. The lawyer is that Hanks! He decided to invest 3 million in me, and Steven Spielberg also If you are interested, maybe DreamWorks will also invest in it.¡±
Hanks, DreamWorks, Spielberg! Lawyer Salton's heart was beating so hard that he could no longer bear it. He clutched his chest in pain, "Please help me sit down. I have a heart disease and have undergone heart bypass surgery. I can't be excited"
"What?! Brother, relax and calm down!" Ye Wei was so frightened that he hurriedly supported him. No wonder he had a poker face
"How can this make me calm down?" Salton gritted his teeth. I can't die, absolutely not. The door to the new world has just opened again, and the light of hope shines over again, the hope of becoming a gold medal lawyer!
He knew, he knew Ye Wei would be a big shot!
Next Tuesday? ! Can't wait!

The night is getting darker, and the lights are bright in the spacious girls' bedroom north of Brentwood. Lily is arranging her clothes while chatting with Connie on her mobile phone.
Connie¡¯s words were excited and envious: ¡°Let me tell you something, today I definitely heard the boys say that VIY is going to confess to you on Valentine¡¯s Day!!¡±
"Really" Lily frowned slightly. In fact, she had already had a premonition. When she heard this, the first thing she felt was not joy and expectation, but anxiety.
"What's wrong?" Connie was confused when she heard it, and said in surprise: "Oh my God, Lily, aren't you unhappy? I have a chance?"
"No! That's not the case!" Lily quickly clarified, fearing that her friend would do something wrong, but she didn't know what to say, and she didn't quite understand her own feelings. She thought that only if she confessed, she was happy, and she felt sweet in her heart. But he was anxious and confused.
She smiled bitterly: "I'm in a mess. I never thought it would happen so soon"
"Please, actually you are already boyfriend and girlfriend now. Honestly, how many times have you kissed?" Connie's tone was a bit sour.
"Wellbut, II'm a little afraid of change. It's good now, but I don't want to change" Lily sat down on the bed and rubbed her troubled face, "I don't know, I really don't know ¡¡±
"But you like Wei very much, don't you?" Connie asked softly, somewhat understanding her friend's fear.
"Yes, I like him very much." Lily admitted, maybe not onlyVery, very very, he often appeared in her dreams
"Then I get it, you're just nervous. It's the same with first love. I would be the same if it were me, but when the time comes, don't agree too quickly, haha!"
"Is that so?" After hearing this, Lily relaxed a lot, showed a self-deprecating smile, and stopped thinking about it for the time being, "Probably so."
After the phone call with Connie ended, she originally wanted to think calmly, but as soon as she packed up a bed of clothes, her phone rang again, and it was Yu.
She answered the call with a raised eyebrow: "Hi, asshole."
"Lily, you should really see the look on my lawyer Salton's face after hearing that Hanks invested in me. He almost had a heart attack! Let's put it this way, he is usually R2D2, 'beep beep beep beep', listen Before, he was Marvin in The Hitchhiker¡¯s Guide to the Galaxy, ¡®Life? Don¡¯t talk to me about life!¡¯ But at that moment, he was the Sentinel in ¡®The Matrix¡¯!¡±
Although she didn¡¯t quite understand, Lily still laughed out loud: ¡°If he knows you describe him like this, what is it?¡±
"Let me think about itit must be Hector in "Saturn III", 'I don't have glitches, you do!'"
"Haha, what on earth is that?"
¡°Beep beep beep, I don¡¯t have a fault, only you do¡¡±
