Chapter 412: Meeting with Lao Huo

Even taking five little golden figures was something that Lin Bao and Zheng Rong didn't expect before coming to Los Angeles.

The chain reaction that followed also interrupted or accelerated their "Ice and Fire" development plan.

Originally, according to the plan formulated by the studio, if "Farewell My Concubine" can win the best foreign language film, it will definitely further promote Lin Bao's name to the world. Especially in Hollywood, in terms of the global film and television industry, it brings some fame.

Then, when the foreign language version of "Ice and Fire" was published, the story was able to spread abroad smoothly.

The addition of these two elements can make their plan to advance "Ice and Fire" more smoothly.

But now, the process is going to be much faster, even faster, and a little too fast for studios.

On the third day of winning the award, Lin Bao and his studio were in contact with many special effects teams. Immediately afterwards, Hill Publishing Group accelerated Lin Bao's new book plan, and immediately pushed the story and project of "Ice and Fire" to everyone, especially some Hollywood film and television investment companies.

For Lin Bao's new book "A Song of Ice and Fire", although basically everyone has heard of it, after all, Zaidong is currently on hot sales, and the popularity is no worse than the previous "Actor's Self-cultivation", but, before that, there were basically not many companies that considered the film and television investment and shooting of this story.

After all, a story project like this usually takes more than ten years, or even decades, of copyright brewing and development.

"The Lord of the Rings" was officially established at the beginning of the century, but the publication of this was only in the middle of the last century.

Everyone didn't expect that Lin Bao and the studio behind him would be so bold and directly promote such a film and television project that is even in an updated state.

Moreover, it is obvious that with the background of magic special effects, the investment will definitely not be small.

So soon, investors and producers from various countries, including Hollywood, came to me. They called Lin Bao and Zheng Rong one after another, wanting to invest.

Even, even Hill Publishing Group, which had just worked overtime and advanced its publishing plan by half a month, almost burst the phone call for copyright inquiries.

The international director who has just won the five Little Golden Statues, and now has such a background, which will definitely be very in line with Western culture and visual effects, and naturally everyone is very interested.

However, Lin Bao naturally grasps the control of the entire film and television copyright very tightly, and the entire investment has been allocated, so naturally he will not let others, especially Western forces, control his own IP.

It may be a story of the West, but it is the IP of the East.

......

"Teacher Lin Bao should be coming soon, right?"

In the hotel box that had been agreed, Lao Huo and his son Arthur sat in the box, looking a little restless.

Lao Huo thinks that he is a person who has seen the world.

As an ordinary commoner born as a baker, he has cultivated a very good, very independent son, and he has read a lot of books and seen a lot of things as his life has improved for so many years, and he can be regarded as a half-wise man.

His son, Arthur, has worked hard in the entire publishing industry over the years, and there is also a lot of guidance from Lao Huo. As an outsider, many times, some things, on the contrary, are seen clearly by an outsider like him.

A society, in fact, is just that.

A person, in what position, can see what level of scenery.

If it weren't for Lao Huo supporting his son and continuing to walk down the road of independence, perhaps, he, a baker, at such an age, is around his grandson and enjoys his old age, and things all day long revolve around such a small family. Genius)

If Lao Huo had taken such a path, he might never have thought that he would have come to such a point today.

In the twilight years of buying, he would become the protagonist of a movie, and even, because this is a key project, during this time, when the filming was about to end, he followed the director and attended many Hollywood billionaires, investors, and star-level activities.

The people I met were celebrities, producers, and tycoons who only existed in the report.

Although it is said that for Lao Huo, at this age, he has seen things like fame.

But, like that sentence, where you stand, what kind of scenery you see.

For Lao Huo, he is standing here, not because of lack of money, not because he is like a young man, pursuing his career and pursuing his reputation, but because he is standing here and looking at another unimaginable landscape in his life.

It is precisely because of this that when he followed the director into Hollywood's Vanity Fair and faced those celebrities and rich people, Lao Huo was surprisingly easy and dealt with it decently.

But.

Even so, the person he was going to see next was still a young man, and when he thought of him, Lao Huo's heart was a little excited.

I met this young man from the book "Self-cultivation of Actors".

A person writes a book and is able to see a lot of things about that person.

As an old reader, Lao Huo is naturally very good at such things.

In such a book, he saw a very emotional and characteristic performance master, and the exposition of the entire performance theory. This is what makes Lao Huo Gaoshan look up. Ideas Chinese the fastest www.@@slzww@@.com network

And more importantly, Lao Huo still read something in the words of the East, "The height is not cold".

It's a very high level.

Lao Huo has read the biographies of many celebrities, especially the biographies of the top rich and famous people, in fact, from the words they dictated, you can hear some experiences of these life realms.

And now, aside from the performance content of the entire book, what he saw was that it was such a person, which naturally made Lao Huo curious.

Even unexpectedly.

Because, the author of such a book turned out to be just a young man from the East who was not yet thirty years old.

The East, what a magical country it is.

There can be such a young man.

Moreover, to treat such a young man, Lao Huo's attitude is to see a teacher.

Meet the teacher.

Therefore, his heart is full of expectations and fantasies for today's meeting.

......

Arthur next to him was also excited.

A few years ago, on behalf of Hill Publishing Group, I went to Dongfang to talk to Lin Bao about the copyright of the new book.

At that time, according to some gossip obtained by the company, it was already known that Lin Bao's new movie should be nominated for an Oscar, or even won an award.

But I didn't expect that not only did it win the best foreign language film, but also won five little golden statues in a row!

Breaking a Oscar record and tradition!

It is definitely a very commemorative and honorable thing.

When I thought of it, the young man who talked to you with a little shyness, but his words were very gentle, and he had a feeling of unreality in the daily Oriental youth.

......

I looked at the time, and it should have been the agreed time.

Arthur asked Lao Huo to wait inside, while he went out and went to the hall on the first floor to greet Lin Bao.

After waiting in the hall for a few minutes, a little more than a minute later than the scheduled time, I saw Lin Bao and his agent Zheng Rong walking over quickly.

"Mr. Arthur, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we're late! I met some accidents on the road just now, I'm very sorry......"

Walking into the hall, seeing Arthur opposite, and looking at the watch on his wrist, Lin Bao hurriedly stepped forward and said apologetically.

It's also a little helpless.

In fact, he and Zheng Rong were going to come over ten minutes early.

But I didn't expect that when I came out of the hotel over there, I happened to meet a group of oriental students, who were also fans of Lin Bao, and they were delayed for a while.

"It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Lin Bao, please ...... here"

In this gap, there seemed to be a few people over there who recognized Lin Bao and were looking surprised and wanted to come this way.

Arthur hurriedly took Lin Bao and Zheng Rong and hurriedly got on the elevator and walked to the box he had set.

A group of people entered the door.

Inside, next to the round table, sat an old man.

Seeing them come in, the old man also stood up with a smile on his face.

"Lao Huo, this is Teacher Lin Bao, and this is Teacher Zheng Rong. ”

Arthur closed the door and began to explain.

Lao Huo also hurriedly walked over and shook hands with Lin Bao and Zheng Rong one by one.

"Hello, Mr. Hopkins. ”

Lin Bao also looked at the old man with a smile.

Silver hair, neatly combed back of the head.

I heard Arthur say before that he is over seventy years old, but the whole person is still in good spirits. looks more energetic than Mr. Yang Yi, who bought musical instruments in the magic capital.

Especially his eyes, which are very godly, make you feel that you dare not look at him.

You can't imagine that such an old man in front of you was just a baker back then.

Lin Bao had briefly heard Arthur talk about his father.

And now that I see it in person, I am even more surprised.

Such an old man is not only in appearance and temperament, but also in temperament, and can see the strength and wisdom in his heart.

No wonder he was able to become the protagonist of a movie. Moreover, it was in a very short period of time that I learned the acting, and then I was taken seriously by the director.

"Mr. Lin Bao, it is a great honor to meet you. That book of yours, "The Self-cultivation of Actors", is really well written......"

Lao Huo came in from Lin Bao, and the whole person was obviously very excited.

After sitting down, he chatted with Lin Bao in a completely student's attitude.

Arthur next to him also said: "Yes, my father got the book from Mr. Lin Bao, but he didn't eat or drink, and he read it for two months!"

"Exaggerated! How can anyone read a book for two months without eating or drinking?"

Lao Huo glared at him, and then said to Teacher Lin Bao with a smile, "However, it is indeed true that I have watched it for two months. In fact, I have been learning about Mr. Lin Bao through that book, according to your Oriental words, what is it called, Shenjiao, is there such a word?"

Lin Bao smiled: "There is indeed such a word. ”

"Yes, God. ”

Lao Huo looked at him, "When we meet today, it's really, younger than I imagined! Of course, Mr. Lin Bao, I don't mean anything else, you are young and talented, my old man, reading your book, I really benefited a lot!"

"Mr. Hopkins, you've overdone it. ”

Lin Bao hurriedly said, "Actually, I admire you for being able to start over and enter the field of acting at such an advanced age, and to have such talent and perseverance." ”

"Don't, don't. ”

Lao Huo didn't want such a precious opportunity to meet, so he became a flatterer for the two of them, and then said, "Teacher Lin Bao, being able to meet today can be regarded as one of my wishes." In addition, if you have time and don't delay you, I still have some performance problems here, and I want to ask for advice. ”

"No problem, Mr. Hopkins, you just say it. ”

Lin Bao smiled.

The two of them immediately began to talk at the dinner table.

Mainly, Lao Huo put forward many performance problems that he encountered when he was learning theory and real acting, and then Lin Bao answered him.

Before, when watching "Actor's Self-cultivation", Lao Huo could feel the overlooking arrangement and summary of this oriental young man's entire performance theory.

And now, really chatting face-to-face, really chatting about some specific issues in the performance, Lao Huo really felt that the young man in front of him was like an oriental youth who was still in school, and that kind of master-level understanding in performance.

There were many places where he felt confused before, and even, when he was filming this movie that was about to be completed, he chatted with other actors and even directors about the questions that he felt confused, and Lin Bao answered them one by one, which turned out to be very smooth.

Especially the current Lao Huo, the whole person is laid out on the aspect of talking, and there are no other distractions, so he is really engrossed in this aspect. Now that I am chatting face-to-face with a performance master like Lin Bao, I naturally feel that I have benefited a lot.

However, today's meeting was originally temporary, and the main purpose of Lin Bao's coming over today was not to discuss any performance theory with Lao Huo.

Therefore, after picking up a few questions that were more perplexing to him, after listening to Lin Bao's explanation, Lao Huo stopped the topic, and then turned to his son Arthur.

Arthur is looking for Lin Bao this time, and there are a lot of things.

First of all, the publishing aspect of A Song of Ice and Fire.

The new book that was published in an urgent way, under the momentum of Lin Bao's award-winning topic, the sales are much better than they expected.
