After a brief tidying up, the light gray canvas backpack contained a few pieces of clothing, two manuscripts, and a pen. I didn’t plan to take anything else with me. Picking up the bag and slung it over his shoulder, he glanced at the small room one last time, but he didn’t have any nostalgia in his heart.
After all, this is a mental hospital
The head nurse at the door looked at the handsome big boy who was slightly dazed in front of him. He felt a little regretful and a little happy, and said softly, “Simon, do you want to say goodbye to everyone?”
His name is now Simon, Simon Westeros.
The name has not changed.
The surname was changed a month ago.
Because I don’t like the body’s original surname, I also look forward to a new beginning.
I happened to be watching “Game of Thrones” before the rebirth. The turmoil in Westeros made me fascinated, and I had such a fantastic experience now, so I chose “Westeros” on a whim. Lo’ as the new surname.
From now on, the novel version of “Game of Thrones” will not be released until 1996, ten years later. As for how old Martin will name his new continent in the future, that is not his concern.
Hearing the head nurse’s words, Simon came back to his senses, shook his head and said, “It’s still not necessary.”
The two left the ward and came to the office of Dr. Henry Chapman, a good middle-aged man who was Simon’s attending physician. There was also a middle-aged white man with glasses in the office, who introduced himself as John, from Stanford University, and the other party came to assist Simon with the discharge procedures.
Simon was admitted to this mental hospital nine months ago.
At the time, the incident caused a small stir.
An inspirational teenager who grew up in a child welfare institution was admitted to Stanford University at the age of seventeen and received a full scholarship. Then, less than two months after entering school, I suddenly went crazy.
Severe violent schizophrenia.
This is Dr. Chapman’s diagnosis on Simon’s medical record.
The truth is, the young body suddenly had twelve more souls, how could it not be crazy.
In the shattered memory picture, young people with conflicting consciousness frantically destroy an entire reading room in the Stanford University library, injuring several people, and finally bundled up and sent to this mentally ill in the southern suburbs of San Francisco hospital.
Continue backtracking forward.
Now he is actually a director from the other side of the ocean. He has just finished his first film in his life, and the box office is good. The company plans to negotiate a cooperation with Universal Pictures, one of the six major Hollywood studios. In order to win over him, the boss counts him into the negotiating team that rushes to Los Angeles, which is regarded as a public trip.
The prosperity of the mainland film market has made the entire Hollywood flock, and the business is naturally very successful.
After the cooperation was reached, the executives of Universal Pictures invited the company team to attend a media industry gathering in Sun Valley, Idaho, along with many other Hollywood film practitioners. More than 20 people took off from Los Angeles on a Boeing 737. .
However, less than half an hour after takeoff, the Boeing 737’s engine failed, and it crashed while diverting to the San Francisco airport.
Consciousness again, although still in the San Francisco County area, he has returned to 1985, and seems to be bound in a young body along with many other consciousnesses, followed by a long period of time in a mental hospital. nine months.
I don’t know how I got control of this body.
Or, because he is the only ‘foreigner’ in those consciousnesses. Before the crash, he happened to leave the luxurious front cabin where Universal’s executives and company teams were located, and went to the back of the plane to discuss film production with a group of Hollywood colleagues.
Or, because of unwillingness. During the long nine months, he could feel the strong unwillingness of the original teenager, and it was so difficult to grow up into an adult. He didn’t expect that his life would just start to set sail, and he would fall into decline. He was also unwilling. After so many years, he finally started to stand out, and everything came to nothing in the blink of an eye.
In any case, he eventually became the master of this body, and more than a dozen other consciousnesses fell into deep silence.
However, although the consciousness has disappeared, the memories of those people remain.
Although those memories were all scattered, he also realized that the remaining memory fragments were a huge wealth to him.
You must know that the people in the back cabin of the plane at that time were all elites in the Hollywood film industry, top screenwriters, photographers, editors, composers, etc. These people were actually a box office blockbuster under Universal Pictures. The crew members of the crew, the director and starring actors of the crew were also on the plane, but were invited to the front cabin, and I don’t know if they survived.
After completing the discharge procedures, Simon said goodbye to Dr. Chapman and others, and then got into John’s car with simple luggage.
It can be seen that John dislikes today’s errand very much. He sends Simon to the bus station in nearby Watsonville, fulfills his last duty due to Stanford University, and drives away in a hurry.
Dr. Chapman talked to Simon many times for more than a month before he was discharged from the hospital, and asked him about his future plans.
It is naturally possible to go back to Stanford. Simon’s major is still Stanford’s most popular computer science. After more than 30 years, he is very clear about how much fascinating Stanford computer students have created in the coming Internet wave. miracle of wealth.
However, Simon chose to drop out of school without much hesitation.
He is a director, and he has more than a dozen Hollywood elite memories in his mind. It can be said that he is now a top-level film crew by himself. With so many resources, there is absolutely no reason not to go to Hollywood. one.
As for the future wave of the Internet, it’s not Simon’s character to watch opportunities that are ubiquitous and slip away at will. If you can stand out, you will naturally be able to participate in the feast of wealth brought about by this technological change as an investor.
Of course, at this moment, standing outside the bus station in the small town of Watsonville near California Highway 1, Simon knew that he was destined to have a long way to go.
He is now just a poor boy with no money, and he is a little fortunate that his personal situation can enjoy free federal medical insurance. Otherwise, with nine months of treatment, Simon will definitely be burdened with an exorbitant medical bill that will make him doubt his life.
In the United States, it would be an absolute disaster for ordinary people to see a doctor without medical insurance.
After buying a long-distance bus ticket to Los Angeles, Simon checked his wallet while waiting for the bus. He had $198 left, which he earned from a summer job before he enrolled last year. .
Some time ago, I spent more than two hundred dollars in the process of changing the name, mainly publishing a name change announcement in a small newspaper in Watsonville, which is a necessary procedure for Americans to change their names. The cost of applying for a driver’s license. The US driver’s license is equivalent to an ID card, and it is also very cheap to test, only a few dozen dollars. So, even though he couldn’t afford a car, Simon got his driver’s license at the age of sixteen.
According to the price information in my mind, the money left in my hand can last for about a week if the basic food and accommodation are guaranteed.
That’s enough.
It’s easy to find a decent job in Los Angeles in a week. The former owner of this body has been doing various odd jobs since he was thirteen years old, and the relevant skill points are almost full.
Thinking of this, Simon even felt a touch of sadness. Although the memory is not complete, he can appreciate the awe-inspiring tenacity of the original child. The “Simon” in my memory was sent to a children’s welfare home in San Jose at the age of six, but the little child was like a stubborn little beast, stubbornly refusing adoption applications from many foster families, and began to be self-reliant at the age of thirteen.
Thinking of this, Simon couldn’t help but go back to the memories before the age of six, but there were only some more broken pictures, which were incomplete in any way.
Then.
Wake up from distracted thoughts.
Simon was startled to see tears rolling down her face without knowing it.
A pair of mother and son who were also waiting for the bus next to him were looking at him with strange eyes. The young mother also pulled her four or five-year-old son away a little~IndoMTL.com~ embarrassedly wiped the tears from her face , Simon realizes that even if a ill-fated soul has completely lost its dominance over this body, it is still stubborn not to recall certain experiences, so stubborn that even if it completely loses consciousness, it still stubbornly closes its heart. Doors keep strangers from snooping.
Then don’t think about it.
Moreover, now that I have obtained this body, I will definitely make this person live brighter than anyone else, definitely.
Simon silently assured a soul in his heart.
The inner consciousness may have heard his voice, and Simon found that his mind gradually calmed down.
After waiting for about half an hour in front of the rudimentary platform, a bus finally stopped on the side of the road. It was a passing car from downtown San Francisco.
Simon sideways let the mother and son beside him get into the car first, and then follow.
The bus was almost full of passengers. Simon walked back along the aisle and finally found a vacant seat in the penultimate row. A woman in a plaid shirt was already sitting on the inside of the seat for the two of them, covered by long brown hair. He was looking down at a thick manuscript bound on A4 paper, holding a pen in his hand.
Stowing the backpack on the luggage rack, Simon sat down in the empty seat next to the aisle.
Feeling the movement around her, the woman looked up, nodded politely at Simon, and looked back again.
Simon also nodded, but his expression was a little surprised. He knew the other party.
To be precise, Simon knew the woman in front of him, but it was obviously impossible for the other party to know him.
Katherine Bigelow.
She was the first female director in Hollywood history to win the Academy Award for Best Director. This achievement alone is enough to make her a presence in film history.
