The idea actually came as a book, not a movie. I went to my manager to give the bad news. We both knew very well that first novels last forever and never sell. Worse still, something about golf novel<\/span>\u00a0Although there was a publishing house to print it, it was inevitable that such a book would not be sold and would go to the remnant books.\u00a0<\/span><\/em>But the Muse was with me. I had to write this book. Indeed, the book was an astonishing success; it also had its share of this success commercially; In fact, it was the most lucrative of all the jobs I've ever done. You ask why? My guess is this: I knew what I wanted. I was confident in my will. I didn't care about what could be good. what according to myself interesting<\/span>\u00a0I thought it might be; I left the rest of the work to the gods.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
