It is undoubtedly the most appropriate to describe these young faces in front of me at this moment. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Walk into the exam room.

Everyone has no distractions, success or failure is here, and no one will deliberately pray for the invisible and untouchable future.

And when the bell rings for the last exam and walks out of the exam room, there is only a protracted carnival left in the entire 6th Middle School.

After a long run and carnival, all that remains is a faint nostalgia, and even this nostalgia will fade in the slow passage of time.

Until many years later, when I can no longer remember each other's appearances, I can only vaguely recall the original time with the photos in the youth album, and those regrets that passed by with many corners.

The college entrance examination is over.

Zhu Qiang stood on the podium of the classroom.

Waiting for every student to walk into the classroom, he blesses them whether they come or not.

"Among us, some students will go to the university of their dreams, some students will go to society, and some students will choose to step on the battlefield of the third year of high school again, but no matter what the situation is, I congratulate you on your graduation.

I wish you all the best for the future. ”

Gao Yang's applause interrupted Zhu Qiang's somewhat choked voice again and again.

In fact, in the long marathon of high school, everyone who can persevere to the end is worthy of applause, not only those who can finally get a college admission letter of their choice.

Lin Tao did not attend the last class meeting of the third year of high school, but when the crowd gradually dissipated, a person appeared at the gate of No. 6 Middle School.

A slender and standing figure, with sunglasses and a face full of stubble.

If you don't look closely, no one will notice that this big boy wearing light blue washed white denim trousers, white short-sleeved shirt, and sunglasses will be Lin Tao, the most beautiful student in the past two years.

The uncle in the school guard room poured a basin of water outside, and the splashes of water splashed on the flat earth shoes with white bottoms, speckled with spots.

Lin Tao didn't care.

Due to the college entrance examination, all the students in the 6th middle school have been on vacation, but after the college entrance examination, sporadic students began to return to school.

Lin Tao went to the classrooms of Class 3 and Class 1.

The door was locked, and through the window, you could still see the table in the corner that was quietly the same as before, maybe except for memories, Lin Tao didn't leave too many traces on the table, even if it was just his own name.

In fact, Lin Tao didn't know that the desk he had sat on had been moved out of the classroom by the Academic Affairs Office of No. 6 Middle School and sealed in the school's warehouse.

No one can say that one day Lin Tao will really become a world-class celebrity, and this table may become some witnesses in 6?

For example, at one point, Lin Tao wrote such enduring works as "Kung Fu Panda" or "Love Apartment" on this table.

No one told him.

No one deliberately proclaimed, just stood quietly, just like that, looking at those familiar pictures, as if they were flashing by.

Zhao Honggui did not leave.

He was the only one left in the entire office still preparing for class.

In addition to the course of Class 1 of the third year of high school, he actually served as the language of the other two classes, so it can be said that to some extent, because of Lin Tao, Zhao Honggui also became popular inadvertently.

Now he is also a well-known teacher in the entire Songping City, although this is only a temporary false name, but Zhao Honggui is undoubtedly pleased.

Actually, in the end.

For Zhao Honggui, this is far less than what he has lost.

Lin Tao and Su Rui.

The two students with the greatest potential in the class left Class 1 one after another, and the loss and impact were great for him and for the entire Class 1.

It can be seen from the fact that the second year of high school and the first class of the third year of high school are in the extremely low position of the grade ranking almost every time.

When going downstairs.

At the corner of the teaching building, Lin Tao's figure disappeared in a flash.

Zhao Honggui opened his mouth wide, but he didn't scream after all, he just smiled, and the expression on his face was unprecedentedly relaxed.

The college entrance examination finally passed in a hurry.

Lin Tao didn't care too much about the outcome, although for most students who took the college entrance examination, it was an opportunity to change their fate. But for him, the college entrance examination is no longer as important to him as it is in another time and space.

Entering the end of June 2008.

The rapid pace of change in the surrounding environment can be overwhelming.

Although he had been prepared to deal with it for a long time, Lin Tao was a little caught off guard when he really came.

Released in January 2008, the world's first 3D anime film "Kung Fu Panda" eventually grossed $800 million worldwide.

For an investment cost of less than 200 million US dollars, this is undoubtedly a very good result, and it is this time that exceeds the expectations of many industry insiders, and it also completely makes the name "China Lin" have a certain popularity in Hollywood.

Well-known author!

Tens of millions of books sold!

Winner of the National Book Award!

The original author of "Kung Fu Panda" and the screenwriter of the film!

The most striking thing is that Lin Tao is an 18-year-old Chinese!

Promising!

It seems that apart from these four words, the entire Hollywood media can't find an adjective to describe this Chinese genius who suddenly appeared like a shooting star.

Of course, Lin Tao did not disappoint them.

The $800 million global box office completely boiled Disney's top management, and when the production cost of nearly $200 million was originally paid, there were still people within Disney who opposed this uncertain investment.

But such an achievement completely gaged their mouths, and not only that, but also moved Disney's top management to make an unprecedented decision.

That is to invite Lin Tao to make a movie.

Write and act!

For Disney Studios' idea of not only wanting to make money at the box office but also to win over a young Chinese writer with unlimited potential, in fact, there are different voices within Hollywood.

The whole of Hollywood is actually like a huge glass ball, colorful and gorgeous, but the lines are distinct.

Disney is not the oldest and most powerful film company in Hollywood, so in fact, in the entire Hollywood film market, the competitiveness is not the strongest.

Disney's advantage lies in its unique positioning.

In Hollywood, there are very few studios like Disney that produce and distribute anime-themed works, and it is precisely by virtue of this superiority that Disney has made the most of its strengths, and has been able to become one of the top eight studios in Hollywood.

Relatively, though.

Disney's strength is still at the downstream level.

The success of "Kung Fu Panda" made Disney's executives see the potential of the work, so they had already negotiated a sequel with Lin Tao within three months of the film's release.

In the case that the novel work of the sequel to "Kung Fu Panda" has been completed, in fact, the movie that makes the sequel can be put on the agenda.

But what Disney didn't expect was that Lin Tao rejected this proposal, not only that, but also broke off the cooperation with Disney, and instead put forward another proposal that Disney was a little difficult to accept but had to accept.

That is to cooperate with Lin Tao personally to establish a new film company.

"It's a very good idea to set up a new film company, but do you think it's necessary? Setting up a new film company requires a lot of time and procedures, and you need a lot of equipment and personnel, especially a large number of actors and contract directors.

In fact, you can cooperate with us, as long as you provide the script, we will not be stingy with investment and box office dividends. ”

As an old friend of Disney.

John Ritchie obviously doesn't just want to cooperate with Lin Tao, but also wants to encircle this guy with unlimited potential in his own hands for a long time.

Of course, this is a bit difficult.

Lin Tao is absolutely impossible to be manipulated, and the reason why he wants to cooperate with the city to set up a film company is actually Lin Tao's intention is obvious.

The first is to take advantage of the huge domestic film market and the film situation that has not yet become completely hot to accumulate, and the domestic film market is not expected to have a blowout until around 2012.

Secondly.

It is to use Disney's influence in the Hollywood and global film markets to drive the influence of the newly established film company.

A higher starting point is always meaningful.

"No, John, starting a new film company doesn't mean that my script won't be handed over to you to shoot, on the contrary, the new film company will work with you on the production and distribution of the film.

And you have to know that in the Chinese market, Chinese film companies are still more recognized, of course, film works have no borders, but you should know that some works are only made by us. ”

The new film company was officially finalized and formed less than three days after the end of the college entrance examination, and the location of the company was in the city of Matsudaira.

For this reason, Songping City deliberately allocated a large area of land to Lin Tao's new company in the Baiyun Scenic Area, but before the company's headquarters building was completed, Lin Tao had to rent an office building in Songping City as the office location of the new company.

The name of the new film company is "Twenty-first Century Film Company", that is, "Twenty FirstCentury", and the registered company legal person is Lin Tao.

However, there are more investors, Lin Tao personally invested 500 million yuan to occupy 55% of the company's shares, and Disney Studios accounted for the remaining 25%.

The Dongjiang Culture Group invested 5% of the shares and the copyrights of a large number of its works, while the Novelist Culture Group invested 10% of all its cinema chains in the country, the Songping City Government symbolically occupied 1% with land shares, and the British publishing house Bristol Company, an old friend of Lin Tao, Ryan Bristol, invested 3%.

The last 1% was given to Wang Dongdong and Li Weiwei as a joint stake between the two of them, and the price was that Li Weiwei resigned as senior vice president of Dongjiang Culture Group and became the first executive president of 21st Century Film Company.

Almost as soon as Century 21 Studios was founded, it received a lot of equipment and technical support from Disney Studios.

Of course, these things need to pay a certain price, and these things are invested in the box office dividends that Lin Tao received in the movie "Kung Fu Panda".

But.

Compared with the enthusiastic reports of foreign media, the domestic media seem to ignore the news, and only a few entertainment media have reported on the incident.

The state media, on the other hand, simply mentioned it in the news and stopped talking about it, as if they were collectively silenced.

Lin Tao is not surprised by this.

The formation of a new film company will undoubtedly affect the interests of many people, and it is not surprising that the media controlled by them collectively do not speak out and do not report to the public.

And it is even more impossible for official TV stations to spend time reporting such a trivial matter in the entertainment industry, and it is already a big deal to be able to mention it in the news.

The creation of Century 21 Studios was itself a bit of an opportunistic approach, and if it weren't for Disney's optimism about the potential of the partnership, the company would not have been able to build the framework in a short period of time, and immediately began production of its first work in earnest at the end of June.

End of June.

On behalf of 21st Century Films, Li Weiwei announced the first big move after its establishment, that is, to co-produce and distribute the first work after the establishment of Disney Studios.

And the starring role of this work is Lin Tao.

However, compared with the Hollywood media's report on this new work, the domestic media has changed its previous quiet approach and once again issued all kinds of doubts.

"China 21st Century Film Company officially announced a partnership with Disney Studios, and the new film is called "The Dispute between Chu and Han", which tells the story of the war between a country called Chu and a country called Han in ancient China. ”

The 3D war blockbuster "The Dispute between Chu and Han", created by Lin Tao, a famous writer and Hollywood screenwriter in China, officially began planning and filming. ”

"Will the dispute between Chu and Han be a failure?"

"How is Lin Tao going to write the script of the Chu-Han dispute?"

"Just because you can write Kung Fu Panda doesn't mean you can write a good historical story!"

In addition to questioning.

There are even a lot of people who are scolding on the Internet.

Some people think that Lin Tao's so-called change of career will definitely ruin a good Chinese historical story like those garbage film companies in China, and some people think that Lin Tao is just grandstanding and arrogant, thinking that "Kung Fu Panda" has achieved a box office of 800 million US dollars, and it is the establishment of a film company and the shooting of new films, and the key is to change careers to make historical films.

But anyway.

No matter what the public opinion is, at the end of June and the beginning of July, shortly after the end of the college entrance examination, the script that Lin Tao had been planning for nearly a year had been sent to the Hollywood director.

However, as the behind-the-scenes controller of the 21st Century Film Company, Lin Tao still participated in and was responsible for the selection of actors.

Since this is a purely local Chinese film, even if it is handed over to Hollywood directors to shoot and produce, the actors can only choose domestic ones.

As a novice who starred in the movie for the first time, Lin Tao served as Liu Bang, one of the protagonists of the movie. (To be continued.) )
