Chapter 866: Dinosaurs Are Coming

Back at the hotel, Chen Qige made a call to Xu Feng and told her the news that "Farewell My Concubine" did not win the award.

Xu Feng was silent on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then asked Chen Qige what his plans were next.

"I'm going to take the original crew to the international film festival in Hong Kong next month."

Chen Qige's decision surprised Xu Feng slightly, but this was exactly the answer she expected to hear.

"Do you need me to talk to Mr. Lin again?"

"If I can, I'd like to talk to Mr. Lin in person."

Xu Feng was quite satisfied with Chen Qige's change of attitude, you must know that before this, Chen Qige had always been a little resistant to participating in the Hong Kong International Film Festival, and he proposed to take the initiative to meet with Lin Youlun, which should be a good start.

"No problem, before the opening of the film festival, I will arrange for you to meet with Mr. Lin."

——

Ajie led Zhou to the door of Lin Youlun's office, pushed the door open, and made a gesture of inviting inside.

Zhou Yimin smiled at Applejack and nodded, "There is Assistant Lao Chen." ”

"Miss Zhou, you're welcome, this is what I should do."

Applejack watched Zhou enter Lin Youlun's office, then closed the door and turned to leave.

In the office, Lin Youlun was answering a phone call, and when he saw Zhou Comin coming in, he first pointed to the microphone in his hand, and then pointed to the rest area, signaling Zhou Comin to sit down first, and wait for him to finish the call first.

Zhou Yimin nodded, walked to the sofa in the rest area and sat down, Lin Youlun retracted his gaze this time with confidence, and continued to concentrate on listening to the phone.

"I'm sorry. George. Can you repeat what you just said? ”

"Oh. My God, Lin, didn't you listen to what I had to say just now? On the other end of the phone, George Lucas couldn't help but complain.

"I'm sorry......"

Lin Youlun's apology obviously didn't have much sincerity, but George Lucas didn't particularly care about it, and repeated his previous words: "The post-production of "Jurassic Park" was completed two days ago, and Universal and I both had the idea of releasing it in the summer, what do you think?" ”

Lin Youlun raised his head. was about to answer Lucas's question, but his eyes happened to collide with Zhou Comin who was looking over here, he was busy greeting Zhou Comin with his eyes, but he forgot that Lucas was still waiting on the phone.

"Lin, what the hell are you doing? Are you listening to me? "Lucas is finally angry this time.

Lin Youlun was in a hurry, and came to the sentence "I am mourning for those movies that have been decided to be released in the summer", which immediately amused Lucas.

"Lin, I find that you are really getting more and more humorous!"

Lin Youlun immediately corrected: "No, no, George, I was serious just now...... "Jurassic Park" was selected to be released in the summer. This would be a huge disaster for a movie released at the same time, and I have a hard time imagining the audience after seeing this movie. Will there be any interest in other special effects films? ”

"But you haven't seen the demo of the movie yet, how do you know it's going to be the way you think?" Lucas asked, a little confused.

Lin Youlun changed the microphone from the left to the right: "Jurassic Park has all the characteristics that a successful commercial film should have, a first-class plot, the top special effects production team and the most reassuring director, these are the support of my confidence!" ”

Lucas laughed on the other end of the phone: "Well, I have to admit that this movie will not disappoint you." ”

Lin Youlun shrugged, "Actually, I'm more concerned about when I can actually see this movie...... You know, I'm a little impatient now. ”

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll see this movie soon, because Universal and I have already decided to bring it to the Hong Kong International Film Festival next month......"

"What?" Lin Youlun sat up in surprise and repeated Lucas's words in a very uncertain tone: "Are you going to bring "Jurassic Park" to the Hong Kong International Film Festival? ”

"Originally, it should be the director's job to take the film to the film festival, but you also know that Stephen devoted himself to the production of "Schindler's List" after completing the location shooting of the film, and he also had some disputes with Universal because of this...... He was going to make the film a black and white film, but Universal didn't support his idea. ”

While explaining this matter, Lucas also reminded Lin Youlun of Spielberg's current situation by the way.

"In the end, it must have been a compromise on the part of the Universal, right?" Lin Youlun guessed casually.

"How do you know the Dao?" Lucas was a little surprised.

"Stephen has been preparing for this film for ten years, and he will not give up on his ideas easily."

"Maybe I should relay your words to Universal Company, maybe it will help Stephen."

"That's fine, I'd be happy if my words could help Stephen...... But are you sure Stephen won't be able to make time to come during the festival? ”

"I went to the Czech Republic some time ago, and to be honest, Stephen is in a terrible situation right now, he is so affected by the plot that he even puts the whole person into it, I think he has to go to the necessary mental health treatment after making this film, otherwise something will definitely go wrong...... In this case, I would have liked him to come to Hong Kong to relax, but my offer was rejected by him, and he asked me to help him convey his apologies to you. ”

When Lucas said this, Lin Youlun knew that it was unlikely that Spielberg would come to the Hong Kong International Film Festival this time, and he had prepared some information about the Nanjing Massacre and was ready to take advantage of this opportunity to hand it over to Spielberg, but now it seems that there is no way to achieve it.

put down the phone, Lin Youlun's mood was not affected too much.

"Jurassic Park" chose to participate in the Hong Kong International Film Festival, which shows that Hollywood studios have gradually begun to pay attention to the Hong Kong International Film Festival as a publicity platform, and in the future, there will definitely be more Hollywood films to join the ranks of the film festival.

Applejack walked into the office with two cups of brewed coffee, and Zhou stood up, took the coffee from Applejack, and walked to Lin Youlun's side.

"Did you encounter something happy?"

Lin Youlun raised his head, helped Zhou Yimin take the coffee and put it on the table, took her hand and put it on his cheek, and told her the news that "Jurassic Park" was about to be released.

Zhou Yimin looked at Lin Youlun with bright eyes: "Jurassic Park, is the movie about dinosaurs that you often tell me about?" ”

Lin Youlun nodded.

"Are the special effects in that movie better than Godzilla?"

"The special effects scenes will be more and more realistic than Godzilla, and the dinosaurs that appear in it will give you the feeling that there is no difference between them and the real thing." Lin Youlun's eyes radiated with excitement.

Although the advance of "Godzilla" will reduce the shock of "Jurassic Park" to the audience, in terms of technology and investment, "Jurassic Park" is indeed a step higher than "Godzilla", and the plot is more attractive, after the release of this movie, it will definitely bring a greater movie-watching boom than "Godzilla".

I have the impression that the global box office of this film has reached as much as 700 million US dollars, and in the next few years, it will firmly occupy the top spot at the global box office, until "Titanic" is released, this record is ended.

While listening to Lin Youlun talk about the magic of "Jurassic Park", Zhou Yimin started to help him sort out the scattered documents on the table.

Lin Youlun finished speaking in one breath, picked up the coffee and took a breath, and then remembered that Zhou Comin came to him today to have something to say.

"You told me on the phone in the morning that you had something to discuss with me......

"Recently, someone asked me to make a movie, and I don't know if I want to say yes, so I want to ask your opinion." Zhou Comemin turned his head and frowned slightly, looking a little undecided.

"Do you like the script very much?" Lin Youlun knows that Zhou Yimin is not very keen on acting, unless it is a movie that Lin Youlun personally invested, or the role has a very good appetite for her, otherwise she will not easily have the idea of wanting to make a movie.

"The movie tells a love story, the heroine is a terminally ill but optimistic and strong girl, the male protagonist meets the girl when he is hesitant, under the influence of the girl's optimistic and positive attitude towards life, slowly out of the trough of life, and the two gradually develop affection, but the girl's illness worsens, and the cruel illness shatters all her dreams, making her lose her strong will in the past, become grumpy, and dissatisfied with everything. Although she regained her strength with the encouragement of the male protagonist, her mother, and the surrounding neighbors, she was determined by providence, and the girl was still killed by the disease after the last death, leaving only a little affection left for the male protagonist. ”

Zhou Yimin roughly described the plot, and the more Lin Youlun heard it, the more familiar it became.

"This movie is adapted from Shaw Brothers' "New Love" filmed in the 70s, the name has not changed, but the plot has been rewritten." Speaking of which, Zhou Comin couldn't help but glance at Lin Youlun, she was really worried that Lin Youlun would disagree, because to be honest, she really liked this role, especially the heroine's optimistic attitude towards life, which really moved her.

After listening to Zhou Comin's introduction, Lin Youlun had already guessed which movie this was, and then asked quietly: "Do you like this character very much?" ”

Zhou Comin nodded.

Lin Youlun spread his hands and said with a smile: "Since you like it, then take it...... By the way, who is the director of this movie? ”

"Er Dongsheng." (To be continued......)
