A few clothes, two manuscripts and a pen were in the light gray rucksack. I didn't want to take the rest. Carrying his bag on his shoulder, he finally glanced at the small room without any nostalgia in his heart.
After all, this is a mental hospital.
the head nurse at the door looked at the handsome boy who was slightly stunned in front of him. He felt sorry and happy, and whispered, "Simon, do you want to say goodbye to everyone?"
His name is Simon westrow now.
The name hasn't changed.
The surname was changed a month ago.
Because I don't like the original name of the body, I'm looking forward to a new start.
Before the rebirth, I was just watching the game of power. The turbulent situation on the continent of Westeros was fascinating, and I had such a fantastic experience now, so I chose "Westeros" as my new surname on a whim.
From now on, the novel version of game of power will not be released until 1996 ten years later. As for how old Martin should name his new world in the future, it is not his concern.
Hearing the head nurse's words, Simon recovered, shook his head and said, "I don't need to."
They left the ward and came to Dr. Henry Chapman's office, Simon's chief physician, a good middle-aged man. There was a middle-aged white man with glasses in the office. He introduced himself to John from Stanford University. He came to help Simon go through the discharge procedures.
Simon was sent to this mental hospital nine months ago.
At that time, it also caused a small sensation.
Growing up in a children's welfare home, an inspirational teenager was admitted to Stanford University at the age of 17 and received a full scholarship. Then, less than two months after entering school, he suddenly went crazy.
Severe violent schizophrenia.
This is Dr. Chapman's diagnosis on Simon's medical record.
The fact is that there are 12 more souls in the young body. How can they not be crazy.
In the broken memory picture, the young people under the conflict of consciousness madly destroyed an entire reading room in the Stanford University Library, injured several people, and finally bound up and sent to this mental hospital in the southern suburb of old golden hill.
Keep going back.
Now he is actually a director from the other side of the ocean. He has just finished his first movie in his life, and the box office is good. The company plans to discuss a cooperation with universal pictures, one of the six major Hollywood film companies. In order to win him over, the boss counted him in the negotiation team to Los Angeles, which is a public travel.
The prosperity of the mainland film market makes the whole Hollywood flock to it. Naturally, the business talks are very successful.
After the cooperation, the top management of Universal Pictures invited the company's 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 in a Boeing 737.
However, less than half an hour after take-off, the engine of Boeing 737 broke down, and then crashed during the process of forced landing at San Francisco Airport.
Once again, though still in San Francisco County, he has returned to 1985, and seems to be bound with many other Consciousnesses in a young body, followed by a long nine months in a mental hospital.
I don't know how I got control of this body.
Or, because he is the only "foreigner" in those minds. Before the crash, he just left the luxury front cabin where the senior management of universal and the company's team were, and went to the back cabin of the plane to discuss the issue of film production with a group of Hollywood colleagues.
Or, because I'm not reconciled. In the long nine months, he could feel the strong unwillingness of the original youth and grow up so hard. He didn't expect that his life would fall when he was just about to set sail. He is also unwilling, wasted so many years, and finally began to stand out, all the blink of an eye and turned into nothing.
In any case, he finally became the master of the body, and all the other ten consciousness fell into deep silence.
However, although the consciousness disappeared, the memory of those people remained.
Although those memories are scattered, but he also realized that only the remaining memory fragments, for him is a very huge wealth.
You know, at that time, all the people in the back cabin of the plane were the elites of Hollywood film industry, including top screenwriters, photographers, editors, sounders and so on. These people were actually members of the crew of a box office blockbuster of Universal Pictures. The director and leading role of the crew were also on the plane. They were just invited to the front cabin, and I don't know if they survived.
After going through the discharge procedures, Simon said goodbye to Dr. Chapman and others, and then got on John's car with simple luggage.
It can be seen that John didn't like today's job very much. He took Simon to the bus station in nearby Watsonville, fulfilled Stanford University's last obligation, and drove away in a hurry.More than a month after he was discharged from hospital, Dr. Chapman talked with Simon many times and asked him about his future plans.
It's natural to go back to Stanford. Simon's major is still the most popular computer science in Stanford. More than 30 years later, he knows very well how many amazing wealth miracles Stanford computer students have created in the coming Internet wave.
However, Simon did not hesitate to drop out.
He used to be a director, and he has more than ten Hollywood elites in his mind. It can be said that he is now a top-level film crew. With so many resources, there is no reason why he does not go to Hollywood.
As for the Internet wave in the future, it's not Simon's character to look at the opportunities everywhere and slip away at will. If you can stand out, you will naturally be able to participate in the wealth feast brought about by this technological change as an investor.
Of course, at this moment, standing outside the bus stop in Watsonville, near California highway one, Simon knows that he is destined to have a long way to go.
He's just a penniless poor boy, and he's a little lucky that he can enjoy free federal health care. Otherwise, after nine months of treatment, Simon would have to bear a huge medical bill that made him doubt his life.
In the United States, it is absolutely a disaster for ordinary people to see a doctor without medical insurance.
When he bought a long-distance bus ticket to Los Angeles, Simon checked his wallet while waiting for the bus. He still had $198 left, which was the money he earned from his summer job before he entered school last year.
Some time ago, more than two hundred dollars were spent on the name change process, mainly to publish a name change notice in a small newspaper in Watsonville, which is a necessary procedure for Americans to change their names, and then there is the cost of re applying for a driver's license. The driving license in the United States is equivalent to the ID card, and it is also very cheap. It only costs dozens of dollars. So even though he couldn't afford a car, Simon got his driver's license at the age of 16.
According to the price information in my mind, the money left in my hand can last for about a week under the condition of basic food and housing.
That's enough.
It's easy to find a job enough to make a living in Los Angeles in a week. The former owner of this body has been doing all kinds of odd jobs since he was 13 years old, and the relevant skills are almost full.
Thinking of these, Simon even had a faint sadness. Although the memory is not complete, but he can realize the original child that kind of awe inspiring tenacity. Simon in my memory was sent to a children's welfare home in San Jose when he was six years old. However, his little child was like a stubborn little beast, stubbornly refusing the adoption applications of many foster families. At the age of 13, he began to rely on himself.
With this in mind, Simon can't help looking back to his memory before he was six years old, but there are only some more broken pictures, which are incomplete in any case.
Then.
Wake up from the scattered thoughts.
Simon was surprised to find that tears slipped from his face.
Next to him, a pair of mother and son who were also waiting for the bus were looking at him with strange eyes. The young mother took her four or five-year-old son away a little.
Embarrassed to wipe away the tears on his face, Simon realized that an ill fated soul, even though he had completely lost the dominance of the body, still stubbornly refused to recall some experiences. Even though he had completely lost his consciousness, he still stubbornly closed his heart to strangers.
Don't think about it.
Moreover, since I have got this body, I will definitely make this period of people's life more brilliant than anyone else, and I will certainly.
Simon quietly assured a soul.
The consciousness in the dark 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 crude platform, a bus finally stopped at the side of the road. It was a passing car from downtown San Francisco.
Simon leaned over and let the mother and son get in the car first, then followed.
The bus was almost full of passengers. Simon walked all the way back down the aisle and finally found a seat in the penultimate row. Inside their seats, a woman in a plaid shirt was sitting. Her long brown hair covered most of her face. He was looking down at a thick A4 bound manuscript with a pen in his hand.
Put the backpack on the rack and Simon sits down in the empty seat near the aisle.
Feeling the movement around her, the woman raised her eyes, nodded politely to Simon, and looked back again.
Simon also nodded, but his face was a little surprised. He knew each other.
To be exact, Simon knew the woman in front of him, but it was obviously impossible for him to know him.
Katherine Bigelow.
The first female director in Hollywood history to win an Oscar for best director. Just this achievement is enough to make her an existence in the history of film.
