Chuck Silvers, an executive in the editorial department. Silvers liked the kid who made 8mm films and invited him
back sometime to visit.
He appeared the next day. Spielberg, dressed in a dark
suit, carrying his father's briefcase with nothing inside but
a sandwich and candy bars walked confidently up to the
guard at the gate of Universal and gave him a casual wave.
The guard waved back. He was in.
“For the entire summer,” Spielberg remembers, “I
dressed in my suit and hung out with the directors and
writers, including Silvers, who knew the kid wasn't a studio employee, but winked at him. I even found an office
that wasn't being used, and became a squatter (擅自占用他人房子的人). I bought some plastic tiles and put my
name
in
the
building
directory:
Steven
Spielberg,
Room 23C.”
It paid off for everyone. Ten years later, the 28yearold Spielberg directed Jaws, which took in $470 million,
then the biggest grossing movie of all time. Dozens of films
and awards have followed because Steven Spielberg knew
what his teachers didn't—talent is in the eyes of the filmmaker.
