Chapter 129 Hughes

On the 31st, the school started and Evan returned to the dormitory.

Orville and Rick found him together and asked him how he was preparing the card. If it was ready, they were ready to officially run the club this semester.

Evan said that the finished product hasn't been done yet, at least June will be given.

However, Evan suggested that Orville not have to wait, and the club could be organized first.

After discussion with Rick, Orville decided to hold a recruitment and enrollment test on the second weekend of school.

Orville handed over all these things to Rick.

Orville is going to prepare for his graduation thesis, and probably won’t have much time to participate in extracurricular activities next time.

However, Orville has obtained the admission letter for the master's degree in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and is still at Caltech in the second half of the year. Therefore, as long as the defense is passed, he will have time.

After the final results of last semester, Evan still "passed" the courses he took the exam.

According to insiders, his grades continued the situation last semester and remained among the top.

The third semester courses are still numerous, but there are fewer than the first semester. For Evan, it means that the courses can be easier.

However, when choosing courses, Evan added a lot of elective courses.

Evan is preparing to complete the credits in advance.

His plan is to get a bachelor's degree in two years and a doctoral degree in two years.

With the results of "transistors" as a foundation, as long as his credits are enough, Dean Dubridge will definitely support his plan.

Even so, by the time of his PhD, Evan was already twenty-one years old and would not be too out of line at all.

Norbert Wiener received his PhD from Harvard at the age of 18.

...

April 4, afternoon, 6233 Hollywood Avenue, Pontegis Theatre.

The avenue outside the theater was full of cars, and reporters with huge spotlight cameras were surrounded by the theater gates.

A poster with the words Howard Hughes hung on the exterior wall of the theater.

This is the place where the production team of the movie "The Sin of Harold Diddlebock" held a reception dinner.

Today is also the day when the movie is fully released.

At around 3 pm, a Ford car parked not far from the theater, and there was no place to park further.

After a while, a very young man and a woman got out of the car.

The man is wearing a decent black suit and a delicate black bow tie, with a vibrant and sunny appearance, and a height of 1.85 meters makes him look tall and handsome.

The woman was wearing a somewhat conservative long dress with a little Victorian style, and a shiny sapphire necklace around her neck. Her figure was completely covered by the long skirt. However, with her pure appearance, her every frown and smile was still very eye-catching.

The two of them held hands and did not walk through the main entrance where reporters gathered, but entered the theater through the side door under Bob's guidance.

This was what Evan told in advance, and he didn't want him and Audrey to be targeted by Hollywood entertainment media so soon.

Before the evening party started, Evan planned to watch the movie with Audrey.

Anyway, there is an invitation letter, so you don’t have to spend money to watch movies.

The Sin of Harold Diddlebock premiered in Miami, Florida two months ago, so Evan already knew the plot outline from critics.

The film starring Harold Lloyd, a movie comedian who can be ranked alongside Chaplin as the most popular and influential film age in the silent film era.

The film uses Lloyd's movie "Freshman" as an introduction to tell the story of the rugby game (the plot in "Freshman").

At around five o'clock, Evan and Audrey, who had finished watching the movie, walked out of the screening room.

Evan asked Audrey with a complicated look: "What do you think?"

Audrey thought for a while and said, "As a comedy, 'laugh' is really good, but at first I didn't expect it to be a comedy."

Evan nodded, agreeing deeply.

After watching the movie, the two of them walked into the venue almost at the right time.

At the entrance of the venue, Jack Milton Warner was waiting there.

When Warner saw the two, he smiled happily.

After giving Audrey a gentleman kiss, Warner shook hands with Evan and said, "I almost thought you were not here."

"We came here after watching the movie," Evan said.

"So that's it." Warner nodded: "How does it feel."

Evan said: "The plot is good...it's better if the name can be changed."

Warner said: "Is that right...you can mention this advice to Mr. Hughes in person if you have a chance."

"Do you mind if I'll take you around the venue?"

Warner wanted to introduce Evan into Hollywood circles.

This was good intention, but Evan shook his head gently and said, "Thank you, we just come here to see it casually, just take a look."

Audrey followed and said, "Thank you for your kindness!"

Seeing this, Warner had to say, "Since that's the case, I hope you can have a happy night."

Then, he ended the exchange.

In this way, Evan and Audrey held hands and turned around the venue.

The venue was very lively, with a special band playing music with cheerful rhythms. The dance floor in the center of the venue was where the people dancing inside were bold in their movements. Evan almost couldn't help but want to cover Audrey's eyes after seeing it.

There is no way, it's too dirty.

However, Evan still held back.

Evan deliberately took Audrey away from the dance floor. When he saw a familiar face or Audrey was interested, Evan whispered in Audrey's ear.

However, Evan didn't know many people.

Audrey's appearance was a particularly fresh flower in the venue, and naturally attracted many bees and butterflies, but they were all blocked by Evan one by one.

“Evan?”

As the two were whispering, a scream of surprise came from behind.

Evan turned around and found that the person who made the sound was an acquaintance - Ronald Reagan.

"I didn't expect it was you, Evan."

"Meet again, beautiful lady."

After a brief etiquette, Ronald asked, "Evan, why are you free to attend the dinner? Is Caltech's school easy?"

Evan did not hide it and said his real purpose: "I just want to come and see Mr. Howard Hughes!"

Ronald said "Oh" when he heard this, without any doubt. He smiled and said, "Howard is such a genius legend, indeed worth getting to know."

"Ask a wise man, have your purpose been achieved?"

Evan smiled and said, "It's in progress."

Ronald said: "Do you want to help introduce it?"

Evan thought for a while and nodded, "That will trouble you!"

He had just walked around with Audrey but didn't see the real owner.

"No trouble!" Ronald waved his hand.

A few minutes later, under Ronald's leadership, Evan and Audrey saw Howard Hughes, who was over 1.9 meters tall, wearing a gray suit, with a cane in his left hand and a right arm held by an enchanting woman.

Hughes' injury seemed to be almost healed.

However, after a closer look, Evan found traces of burns on his face.

At this time, Hughes was surrounded by a group of men and women, and his expression was a little uncomfortable.

The people around him were Hollywood bosses and newspaper editors...

Hughes was reluctant to deal with it.

Evan, who was watching, suddenly admired Hughes's self-control ability.

He almost overcomes obsessive-compulsive disorder.

After waiting for a while, Evan had the chance to talk to Hughes.

"Hello, dear Mr. Hughes, my name is Evan Warren." Evan did not shake hands with Hughes. The first sentence after introducing himself was: "I like your movie "Hell Angel". The Sin of Harold Diddlebock that I just watched is also good, but can you please change the name of the movie?"

Evan's behavior seemed a little rude, but Hughes suddenly became interested because he also felt that his name was not very good. He looked at Evan and asked quietly, "What do you think is better to change it?"
