Zhong Chuhong raised his head and looked at Lin Youlun with bright eyes, "Are you sure?" ”

Lin Youlun's gaze fell on Zhong Chuhong's face, "What, you don't like this name?" ”

"No, I just thought that my daughter might have a bunch of younger sisters named Aixian and Aizhen in the future, and when she grows up sensible, will she feel that her father was very irresponsible when he named her in the first place." Zhong Chuhong leaned on Lin Youlun's arms and said quietly.

Lin Youlun was helping Zhong Chuhong to lie down, and when he heard this, he paused, and he didn't dare to look directly at Zhong Chuhong. Fortunately, at this time, the nurse walked in and said that Zhong Chuhong had just given birth and needed to rest, so she directly kicked Lin Youlun out of the room.

It happened that Chen Huiqing also came out of the nursery room, and when she saw Lin Youlun, she asked about the child's name.

As soon as Chen Huiqing heard that her granddaughter was named Lin Aihong, she couldn't help but count Lin Youlun, "Didn't the newspaper say that you are one of the four great talents in Hong Kong?" How do you give your daughter such a name, if you have other children in the future, will they all be called 'love'? ”

"Mom, I just want to use the child's name to express my heart to Honggu, if there are other children in the future, I will think of other names." Lin Youlun explained helplessly.

In fact, he has already thought about it, if he has children with Zhou Comin and Wang Guxian in the future, he can be called Simin or Sixian; If you have children with Qiu Shuzhen and Li Jiaxin, you can call Nianzhen or Nianxin; If He Lizhi has a child, the girl's name is Lin Li, the boy's name is Lin Zhi, and so on.

"That's pretty much it." Chen Huiqing nodded, "Okay, I won't talk to you more, since the child's name is Lin Aihong." Then the nickname is Honghong. ”

Of course, Lin Youlun would not fight with his mother in this kind of thing. The matter of the daughter's name was thus decided.

——

Sid Scheinberg, president of Universal Pictures, yelled at his assistant on the phone, "What do you say. Michael Clayton asks for $2 million, is he crazy? ”

"Mr. Berg, it's not Michael Clayton who is crazy, it's that Hong Kong guy named Lin Youlun is crazy, he offered Michael Clayton $2 million, and promised that if Michael Clayton can write the script himself, Michael Clayton will also get a certain percentage of the box office dividends after the film is released." The assistant explained helplessly on the phone.

"Then let that Hong Konger surnamed Lin go to hell with Michael Clayton!"

Sid Scheinberg hung up the phone with a "snap" after speaking, and his anger had not yet subsided. The secretary pushed open the door and walked in.

"Mr. Berg, Mr. Thomas, President of United Arts Cinemas Asia, just called, and he wants to make an appointment to meet with you."

Sid Scheienberg knew several people named Thomas, and he repeated the name in his head several times before matching the name with the name.

"Didn't he say anything?"

The secretary shook her head.

"Forget it, you call back and tell him that I won't be available during this time."

Sid Scheinberg is distressed by the robbery of the film and television adaptation rights of "Jurassic Park", and is in no mood to meet Thomas.

The secretary nodded in agreement, and was about to turn around and go out the door, when Sid Shaneenberg suddenly stopped her again.

"Is there any schedule for this afternoon?"

The secretary flipped through the notepad he had brought with him. After looking at it, he replied, "You have a meeting at noon, and it will take about an hour." After that, there was no arrangement. ”

Sid Scheienberg nodded, "Then you can contact Mr. Thomas and set the time for the meeting to go down today." ”

The secretary's eyes widened, and he looked incredulous. That's not what Sid-Scheienberg just said, and the idea turned out too quickly, right?

She didn't know what to say, just the moment she turned around, West German Scheinberg suddenly remembered the relationship between Thomas and Lin Youlun, it was the United Arts Cinemas that introduced Hong Kong blockbuster films to the American market and made a big profit, and this Thomas's position was also rapidly promoted during this period, from the representative of United Arts in Hong Kong, to the head of United Arts Cinemas in Asia.

In recent years, United Arts Cinemas has almost monopolized the distribution of blockbuster films from Hong Kong, and seeing one Hong Kong movie after another soar at the box office in North America, several other theaters in North America finally can't sit still.

Of course, the conflict of interests of several major theaters around Hong Kong films is not West Germany-Schoenberg's concern, although Hong Kong films continue to create new box office records in the North American market, but for Hollywood film companies, there is not much threat from Hong Kong films, and even many people regard this as a reaction to the prosperity of the North American film market, and the reason for these people is also very simple, since Hong Kong films can be so marketable, local films are of course not a problem.

The reason for this, on the one hand, is indeed because the North American film market continues to prosper, and on the other hand, it actually has a lot to do with the arrogant character of Americans.

This has created a strange phenomenon, in the United States, the media is clamoring for the threat of Hong Kong films, but ordinary audiences and film companies do not have much prejudice against Hong Kong films, and West German Scheinberg is one of them.

Although Lin Youlun just snatched the film and television adaptation rights of "Jurassic Park" from his hands, which made West German Sheinberg very angry, Thomas came to the door at this time, and Sid Shaneenberg easily linked these two things.

If it's Lin Youlun standing behind Thomas, then this becomes interesting.

It was with this in mind that West German Schönberg changed his mind and met with Thomas.

——

At a café, Sid Scheienberg meets Thomas with a happy expression.

"Mr. Berg, it is a great honor to meet you." Thomas stood up and shook hands with West German Scheinberg.

"Me too." Sid Scheinberg shrugged.

After sitting down, Thomas originally wanted to talk to Sid Shaneenberg about some things in the Hollywood film industry, and first climbed down to make friends before talking, but Sid Shaneenberg was very direct, and came up and said: "Mr. Thomas, your Hong Kong friend Mr. Lin Youlun just snatched a movie script from Universal today that has already been favored by us, you know that we have been negotiating with the author for this script since last year, and it seems that we are about to reach an agreement, but all our efforts have been in vain." ”

Thomas said with a look of surprise: "Mr. Berg, why did I hear the news that in order to get the right to adapt and shoot the novel, Warner Bros., Tim Burton, Sony Pictures, Richard Donner, 20th Century Fox and Joe Dent are all making moves, and the author has not finalized who to work with, and I am sorry that Universal Pictures lost this opportunity, but the matter is not as serious as you say, right?" ”

Sid Shaneenberg's expression froze slightly, and it always made him a little embarrassed to be poked in front of him.

"Anyway, Universal Pictures is the most hopeful to get this script, if Mr. Lin doesn't intervene." West German Scheienberg continued:

Thomas clasped his hands together, pouted, and said, "But Universal hasn't gotten the script yet, has it?" ”

West German Schönberg was discouraged.

"And what did Mr. Thomas come to me today to express me?"

Thomas shrugged, "I'm here to tell Mr. Berg the good news, Universal hasn't completely lost that script yet. ”

"Mr. Lin wants to resell that script to Universal? I'm sorry, but if that's the case, I think Mr. Thomas could change the subject, and if he could accept a higher price, Universal wouldn't have voluntarily withdrawn from the competition. West German Scheienberg was unmoved.

Thomas shook his head, "Mr. Berg, I think you misunderstood what I meant, Mr. Lin didn't have the idea of selling that script to Universal again, in fact, he wanted to cooperate with Universal this time." ”

Knowing that things had taken such a turn for the better, West German Schönberg was immediately moved, but he did not immediately express his position, but raised a little question.

"Although I know that the investment required to shoot Jurassic Park will be very large, as far as I know, Mr. Lin has not only achieved remarkable results in the film industry, but is also a figure in the Asian capital investment market, and even many Wall Street people are very respectful of him, with his financial resources, it is absolutely no problem to invest in this film independently...... In my opinion, there is no reason for him to need to find another partner. ”

"Mr. Berg is right, Mr. Lam can indeed invest in the film independently, but all Hong Kong films released in North America face the problem of lack of distribution channels, and partnering with Universal can make up for this shortcoming."

Thomas's explanation seems plausible, but West German Scheinberg is unmoved.

"What Mr. Thomas said, can be done by other Hollywood studios."

"But no other Hollywood studio has as much international distribution as Universal." Thomas added.

Sid Scheienberg shook his head, "That's not enough. ”

In the face of West German Scheinberg's stubbornness, Thomas finally ran out of options.

"Okay, then I said that Mr. Lin has a crush on Spielberg and wants to ask him to be the director of this film, is this reason enough?"

Spielberg's contract with Universal will not expire until 94, and Lin Youlun wants to ask Spielberg to be the director of this film, no matter what, it is impossible to avoid Universal Company, so he has no choice but to cooperate with Universal Company. (To be continued......)
