Successfully favor the madman who dares to fight hard

◆Li Guo

In 1965, a 19-year-old American Jewish youth was admitted to the University of California, Long Beach, where he studied film and electronic arts. In his junior year, this crazy man who was a director's dream made a 24-minute short film about a pair of young lovers who met in the desert.

At that time, Universal was the holy land of every moviemaker who wanted to enter Hollywood. In 1969, the company's chief executive, Sidney Joe Singer, accidentally saw the love video taken by the youth. As soon as the film was finished, Simberg excitedly said to his assistant: "I think it is great! Please arrange this director to see me as soon as possible."

The next day, the assistant reported to him: This young man is not a director, just a junior. Singer replied: "I don't care what he is, I want to see him!"

A week later, Sinberg saw this young man.

"I like your movie, let's sign a contract." Singer opened the door to the invitation. The young people hesitated and said: "But I am a Jew, I only graduated from junior year, and I still graduated one year." However, young people know that it is almost impossible for a film director who wants to be a big Hollywood company at this age. So, he understands that there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

“Do you want to go to college or want to be a director?” asked Simberg. One minute, just one minute, the youth’s head has started to sweat...

Singer certainly understands that the Jews are a nation that attaches great importance to education. It is something they can't imagine if they go out to work after graduation.

In the afternoon, the young people signed a standard “voluntary service” seven-year contract with Singer’s global company. Under the contractual restrictions, the youth is equal to selling every minute of their own to Universal. Some people joked that only people with abnormal nerves or people with crazy ambitions will sign such a contract. This contract is a gamble for Singer: let a person who is unknown, even a university graduate, is a director, this is something that Universal has never had before.

In fact, both this young man and Sinberg are “nano-normal people” or “people with crazy ambitions”. However, it is this young man who has successively produced “Jaws” and “Aliens”. Jurassic Park, "Sindler List" and other masterpieces.

The young man named Steven Spielberg, the name of the film is more brilliant.

A person's life will go through countless choices, and Spielberg chooses to be a director. He has dropped out of school, resentment from his father, and seven years of freedom. However, without these costs, without the courage to chase dreams madly, he can't achieve such success, because success always favors the madman who dares to fight.

Choice is the crossroads of life, and every choice is a kind of pain and hope. The pain is that you must pay for it; what you hope is that you may succeed and may stand on top of the world. However, if you want to succeed, you have to pay and be willing to pay. Because in life, every choice is an exchange of unequal! The experience of Steven Spielberg is like this. With seven years of resentment from his parents and seven years of incompetence, he has achieved brilliant achievements. His contribution must be amazing! Without this courage to chase dreams, he could not have achieved such success. Success always favors the madman who dares to fight. Therefore, there is an old man who once said: In his life, he is "three-point brave, seven-point recklessness", which is really a hit!
