America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 1 Rebirth of America

United States, California, Los Angeles, UCLA Medical Center, this is one of the best hospitals in the United States, with a very high medical level.

In a single ward, a young man woke up slowly. After a double image appeared in front of his eyes, his pupils slowly focused.

He frowned and looked around, and immediately realized that he was in a hospital. He seemed to be lying on a hospital bed with a woman accompanying him. However, it was already late at night and the woman was asleep.

"Ouch!"

Before he could figure out what was going on, the young man suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and then countless picture memories appeared in his brain, flooding over him like a tide.

After a brief period of pain, the young man touched the gauze on his head and sighed: "Fuck! I have traveled through time!"

The time traveler comes from the 21st century and is the assistant director of a crew. The director is his third uncle. As long as this movie is finished, he can direct the next movie independently.

After work that day, I had a drink with Hu Chihai, my friend from the crew, but before I could even start my directing career, I fell down on the wine table in a daze.

When he woke up, he had successfully traveled through time and occupied the body of this unlucky guy in the hospital.

The unlucky guy who was occupied was named Eric Cooper, a tall, handsome white guy, 22 years old, who just graduated from UCLA last week and was considered a top student.

Some people may question that it is a bit ridiculous for a branch student to dare to be called a top student, but this is a common sense mistake.

Because just like different universities specialize in different majors, USC is best in its film arts major, while UCLA is best in economics and finance.

There are as many Nobel Prize winners as Fields Medal winners from here, and this school is also called one of the Public Ivy Leagues. Any school with the word "Ivy" has a high status in the education world. Needless to say.

In addition to his excellent appearance and learning ability, Eric Cooper's family background is equally good.

Although he is not a child of a wealthy family, fortunately, his father is still able to live up to his expectations and now works at MGM.

That's right, it's the MGM film company with the roaring lion head, and Eric Cooper's father, Charlie Cooper, is the current CEO of MGM.

Her mother, Emily Cooper, is a relatively traditional housewife. She is usually responsible for raising her husband and raising her children. She has raised Eric Cooper’s older brother, and Eric Cooper is the youngest son in the family, and of course the youngest son. Favored.

"After reading so many online articles, my time-travel results cannot be said to be top-notch, but they are still considered to be top-notch. Compared to those time-travelers who start from scratch and try to make big fools of themselves, I don't know how high my starting point is.

"And Cheap Dad is the CEO of MGM. Although MGM did go bankrupt and was even acquired by Amazon, it is still a big company after all. It shouldn't be a big problem to help his son make a few movies."

"I don't have high requirements, just a small budget, a horror movie, and a director's microphone. That microphone is what I have longed for!"

Eric Cooper was thinking about his situation, and seemed to hear a movement. The woman accompanying him suddenly woke up. When she saw her son waking up, she couldn't help but scream, and tears immediately came out.

"Oh my God, Eric, Eric, my son, you finally wake up!"

Looking at the haggard face of the middle-aged woman in front of him, Eric Cooper was stunned for a while and then calmly accepted his new identity. Since he had traveled through time, it was time to say goodbye to his past self.

He patted his mother's back gently, wanting to say some comforting words, but his throat was dry and hoarse after being in coma for many days: "Mom, I think I need water."

Emily Cooper hurriedly wiped away her tears, called the doctors and nurses, and poured a glass of water to feed her.

As a man in his 20s, Eric refused to need his mother to give him water: "Mom, I'll do it by myself. Although my head is a little dizzy, it's nothing serious."

However, Emily stubbornly fed it to him. Although Eric had no choice but to do so, the patient had no right to refuse and could only accept it.

He also gradually recalled the cause of the injury, which was that he fell from the balcony of his family's villa and fell head first on the second floor.

There was no cervical spine rupture or high paraplegia, which shows that Eric Cooper's physical fitness is indeed good.

Soon, doctors and nurses rushed over. As a top-ranked hospital in Los Angeles and a private ward, the service attitude was very good.

After conducting some examinations as usual, the attending doctor, Charles, looked like he was constipated.

"Mr. Eric, judging from the examination results, although your body is relatively weak, this is normal, and all indicators are within the normal range."

"But to be honest, I don't quite understand. Based on my experience as a doctor for more than 30 years, if you are in a coma for more than half a month, you will most likely become a vegetative state. Of course, I don't want to curse you, but this is Too strange."

Eric thought to himself that my soul has changed, you know what a der.

"Dr. Charles, maybe I'm lucky, so can I be discharged from the hospital?"

Dr. Charles said hesitantly: "Theoretically, it's possible, but I recommend staying in the hospital for observation, at least for a week!"

Eric rolled his eyes: "Since everything is normal, I think there is no need to observe. What I need most now is not disinfectant, but fresh air!"

A series of examinations wasted for more than two hours. When Eric walked out of the examination room, in addition to Emily Cooper waiting there, there was also a middle-aged man accompanying her.

The man was wearing a suit, leather shoes, and even a tie. He most likely came from the company and must be working overtime. Don't think that America doesn't have to work overtime.

"Eric, my son, I'm so happy to see you wake up." Charlie Cooper walked up quickly and held his son in his arms.

"Be careful Charlie, you will hurt him!" Emily hurriedly pulled her husband away.

Eric shrugged: "Mom, your son is not that fragile yet."

But Charlie Cooper still hurriedly let go of his hand: "I was so excited that I didn't even know what to say. To be honest, I have never thanked God as much as I do now!"

What followed was a discussion between the doctor and the patient. Eric strongly requested to be discharged from the hospital, while Dr. Charles suggested staying in the hospital for observation.

In the end, it was decided that one week of observation was impossible and three days was the limit. The Coopers felt sorry for their son, but they also respected the doctor's advice and could only compromise.

Eric accidentally glanced at a calendar on the nurse's desk, with May 20, 2002 clearly written on it.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed across his brain.

"2002, MGM, John Woo, Windtalker, holy shit! (horror face)"
