It’s like a plot from a Hollywood potboiler: start out in the mailroom, end up a mogul. But for many, it happens to be true. Some of the biggest names in entertainment—including David Geffen, Barry Diller, and Michael Ovitz— started their dazzling careers in the lowly mailroom. Based on more than two hundred interviews, David Rensin unfolds the never-before-told history of an American institution—in the voices of the people who lived it. Through nearly seven decades of glamour and humiliation, lousy pay and incredible perks, killer egos and a kill-or-be-killed ethos, you’ll go where the trainees go, learn what they must do to get ahead, and hear the best insider stories from the Hollywood everyone knows about but no one really knows. A vibrant tapestry of dreams, desire, and exploitation, The Mailroom is not only an engrossing read but a crash course, taught by the experts, on how to succeed in Hollywood.

When I was first reading it I craved the "bottom" job...and now I'm one of them. People might not give a fuck about what I do now, but they will one day.

評分因為在追光麵試的時候被推薦瞭這本書,馬上買瞭兩天看晚瞭。得到的結論就是:『這個産業基本就是抽彩票,和街上賣大麻的差不多。如果是毒品之王可以賺巨款,但是如果是小嘍囉,那就極容易死,又不賺錢,但是每一個小嘍囉都想要成為大boss。』就這本書來說,其實看瞭前20%基本就知道大概後80%什麼樣瞭。寫作有點奇怪,基本都在寫各個時代的人口述個人曆史,如何從公司底層變成瞭好萊塢之王。可見美國製片人的行業非常穩定,因為過去八十年,每個人的故事都差不多。
