Chapter 30: private teacher
Chapter 30 Tutor
Past life, perhaps because of success and fame, the news about the three Olsen sisters is flying all over the sky.
They seem to be darlings kissed by God, and they have been shrouded in luck since the day they were born.
Exaggerated news headlines always make the public think about it. Under the guidance of the media, many people feel that they are only a little bit luck away from success. But after Roland experienced it himself, he realized that that little bit of luck, It's not the popularity of his career, but the gap in reincarnation: Compared with those big brothers, David's assets may not be enough, but for those rich children who can only regard family affection as an extravagant hope, this big businessman Wei, maybe it is the harbor that everyone envies.
In front of interests, he is a businessman, in front of his family, he is a father.
After officially signing the contract, David has many things to do. In addition to getting his employees to contact the crew of "Home Alone", he also held a party at home through his wife's channel, inviting the crew of "Full House" , come to be a guest.
At the party, the couple announced that Roland had signed a contract. Not only that, they also took Roland and thanked Director Howard who revealed the news, "Without you, Roland would not have such a good opportunity to enter the circle. "
Facing the Olsen couple who warmly thanked them, Director Howard waved his hands again and again, without any intention of taking credit, "You are too polite, I just submitted a resume for you. The most important thing is that Roland has this acting talent."
"Now that you have signed the contract, then act well. It doesn't matter if you have no experience. I will go say hello to Robert (the director of "Back to the Future") tomorrow, and ask him to talk to Chris (the director of "Home Alone"). When it comes time, ask him to explain it to you in more detail. Even if there is a problem, Roland, you can also ask Joe and Daniel (the two thieves) directly. Don't be afraid after seeing them, just call uncle..."
"Thank you so much."
Although Roland, Robert, and Howard met countless times during the cycle, they were still strangers after they left.
Director Howard is willing to take the lead, so Roland naturally has to express his heartfelt thanks to him.
After all, since they choose to enter the circle, everyone hopes that they can have multiple relationships.
"Oh, don't say thank you." Looking at the excited little guy, Howard laughed and shook his head.
"If possible, I would like to replace your thank you with Mary's silence."
"Mary really likes to make trouble on the set, so don't imitate her."
"Especially now, she's just like Jerry."
When Director Howard changed the subject and mentioned the two naughty girls, there was a burst of laughter at the party scene. Looking in the direction of the other's fingers, Mary, who was sitting on the seat and pulling the cake, raised her head blankly, innocent With its bright eyes and creamy face, it is a lively little tabby cat.
And when he discovered that his daughter had a tendency to fall into the cake, Ganetti even stepped forward with a smile and hugged her off the table.
As the timid eyes were slowly overwhelmed by the figures that rushed up one after another, Howard turned his head again and said: "Oh, by the way, David, have you completed the withdrawal procedures? Since you have decided to film, it is better to follow the HomeSchooling model." good."
"When the crew starts filming, time waits for no one, and if the school asks for a long vacation, those guys from the Children's Protection Association will definitely come to the door. Therefore, I personally think that dropping out of school is more in line with the status quo."
In America in 1990, although the "No Child Left Behind Act" has not been officially signed, compulsory education has long been in place. If school-age children do not receive the education they deserve, guardians will definitely encounter a lot of trouble.
However, although the law requires children to receive education, they do not force children to study in school. If the child cannot stay in school for a long time due to personal reasons, or the parents of the child feel that the school's educational philosophy does not match their own, they can also hire a family Teachers, or in person, homeschool children through high school.
Since Roland decided to go to filming, David naturally had to go through the procedures for him to drop out of school.
And this is also the last preparation for Roland before joining the group, and it is also a preparation that must be confirmed by him personally.
Other miscellaneous items, he can leave it to David to deal with, but the tutor must meet with him first.
"The teacher has already been found. This kid has recently become obsessed with computers, so I went to UCLA to hire a fresh graduate for him." David looked at Howard with a smile, shook his head, and said, "Although he is a fresh graduate, he is actually a fresh graduate. I have already got an offer from Western Digital, I have read his resume, he is a very good guy, right Roland?"
David's last question made Roland, who had been acting as a tool man at the party, nod helplessly.
Actually, the tutor David mentioned was the point that made Roland most unhappy after he won the project.
On the day of negotiating the contract, when Roland heard that David did not want the tutor assigned by the crew, but chose to hire him himself, Roland was full of expectations for no other reason, mainly because of the tutor series. That can be calculated with T!
His request is not high, just give her Vanessa.
Regardless of whether it's Vanessa Van Cleef next door, whose father just died, or the white widow Vanessa Kirby, Roland can accept it.
However, when Roland, who was full of expectations, was called aside by David for a private discussion, his heart sank instantly.
Pretty tutor?
absolutely not!
And all of this stems from a misunderstanding!
After the time loop came out, Roland asked David to equip him with a computer. In the face of a netizen base of less than two million in America, Roland's request surprised David.
However, despite the accident, he did not refuse, and after equipping Roland with a computer, he sneaked into Roland's house and wandered casually. Whenever he came, he would always find that Roland had been buried in front of the computer. It didn't mean to move at all.
This situation made David a little puzzled.
He didn't know why Roland liked to hug a keyboard, staring at the screen and typing frantically.
Is there anything you want to write?
Wouldn’t it be faster to use a pen?
And whenever he asked Roland about the reason for the beating, Roland, who was recording the treasures in his mind with abbreviated words, would always bring out those computer introductory books to serve as a shield.
In this way, David misunderstood.
He felt that Roland entered the entertainment industry to fulfill his mother's last wish, while he himself liked computers.
If Roland had known David's thoughts earlier, he would definitely not shoot himself in the foot.
In the time loop, he may still be self-taught, but after the time loop, does he still have the time to understand pointers, callbacks, recursion, and Fibonacci sequence?
These things, to him, are simply a holy book!
He wants a computer, but he just wants to record the treasures in his mind. He wants to hide things when David Garnett doesn't know how to do it. Shorthand records are simply a book for the Olsen couple. Can you say that you are programming, but if you use pen and paper to record, then you can't be regarded as a lunatic?
Unfortunately, he is indeed not regarded as a lunatic now, but he is regarded as an idiot by David.
Because of this, after discovering that Roland was so obsessed with computers, David narrowed his search scope when looking for a tutor. Anyway, it is not difficult to teach elementary school knowledge, and even a college student can grasp it by hand, but What he wants is computer talents. Regardless of whether Roland needs it or not, there must be a teacher preparing for it. This is definitely no problem.
In this way, MPEG, ASF, MOV, WMV, 3GP, RMVB are all far away from Roland!
And whenever David mentioned to others that the tutor was very suitable for Roland's requirements, he felt his liver hurt a little.
However, what can be done about this?
All made by Roland himself!
Just when Roland thought that he would live with a bald dull man on the set for 90 days, the other party appeared.
This man has a standard figure, no different from those programmers Roland has seen in his previous life. They are all short-sleeved denim, extremely casual, and his hair is the most common dark brown in America. The corners still showed his usual living habits. Under the sunken eye sockets, there were clearly identifiable lying silkworms. After seeing Roland, the guy who was about to graduate showed a modest smile.
If you looked at the appearance, Roland didn't react at all, but as the other party revealed his identity, Roland, who was still not interested, suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"Hello, I'm the tutor hired by David Olson, from the Electronic Engineering Department of UCLA. My full name is Mike Morhaime."
"You can call me Mike."
