Chapter 45: Hollywood's Upstarts

Early morning July 29, Los Angeles, in a high-end apartment.

Lin Han gently took away the jade lotus root arm wrapped around his body, and kissed Anne gently on the face, Anne in her sleep seemed to feel something, and couldn't help but show a happy smile on her face.

After a doting smile, Lin Han got up, came to the hall of the apartment, first came two hundred kneeling to the ground, after completion, his face was slightly sweaty, and then, Lin Han changed into sportswear, and started running when he got out of the apartment, and said hello to the old lady of the neighbor halfway, and the old lady smiled kindly at Lin Han.

Breathing in the crisp air of the morning, Lin Han suddenly felt that his life was perfect without regrets, he had a perfect lover, he was thriving in his career, he didn't have many friends, but he was very sincere, life was like this, there was nothing else to ask for!

Fan Zhongyan, a Chinese writer, once said: If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world!

After perfecting themselves, many people will have an urge to make the world a better place, which is the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature, and the fundamental reason why human beings are human beings and not beasts.

Under the illumination of the rising sun, Lin Han's side face was well-defined, tough and handsome, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if he had thought of something beautiful.

In the midst of running, Lin Han vaguely had a plan in his heart, a plan to make this world a better place, but it needed more detailed planning.

And now Lin Han is not idle, so he can only keep this idea in his heart first, and now Lin Han has become a Hollywood upstart.

Not to mention the "Batman Returns", "Princess Diaries 2", the upcoming "Batman" and other things he is investing in, with his ability and identity, there are not a few people who ask him to invest in it, and many film and television companies are looking for Lin Han to cooperate, and some foreign record companies ask Lin Han if he wants to develop in the Western music scene.

Because Lin Han is a Chinese American, it is no problem to enter the Western music scene in terms of language, and those foreign record companies also wonder why Lin Han first became a singer in China and released two Chinese music albums within a year.

With Lin Han's reputation in Hollywood now, there is no need to worry about sales when releasing an English album, and as for songs, there is no shortage of excellent songwriters in Hollywood.

However, none of these record companies thought that Lin Han didn't plan to find someone else to write songs, because he had a lot of good songs in his head.

Hollywood upstart, this evaluation is still Tim Burton told Sù Lin Han, about this, Lin Han is not aware of this, at the age of nineteen, to achieve the current achievements, completely worthy of this title.

With "Chainsaw", Lin Han instantly set off a strong wave of horror and suspense in Hollywood, and the huge economic benefits brought by it with small input and large output made many professionals stunned.

Some critics even joked that if this film had been released ten years earlier, it would probably be more classic than "The Seven Deadly Sins".

The logic and atmosphere of "Chainsaw" reflect a very high level, sawing off his legs, or waiting for death on the spot, pressing step by minute, undoubtedly bringing great psychological impact to the audience, and the sequel will undoubtedly have a high box office of more than 400 million US dollars in the world when "Chainsaw" has achieved a high box office of more than 400 million US dollars.

On the day that Lin Han and Anne Hathaway announced their relationship, the sequel to "Saw" was officially admitted by Lin Han, and then, in a tweet the next day, Lin Han posted that he would no longer be the director of the sequel to "Saw", but the script would still be written by him, and he would also serve as the executive producer to ensure that the audience was presented with a high-quality horror movie sequel, not a dog-tailed sequel like some series.

As soon as the news came out, many young Hollywood directors were moved, because as we all know, the cost of "Chainsaw" is only 5 million US dollars, and the production cost is only 1 million US dollars, and the remaining 4 million US dollars are publicity expenses.

Therefore, those Hollywood directors who have been famous for a long time can't pull their old faces to take on such low-budget horror movies, so that new directors have a chance.

Lin Han, the original director who has just created the box office myth of horror movies, wrote the script for the sequel, and served as the executive producer to escort the sequel, so to speak, as long as the director of the sequel to "Chainsaw" is not too stupid and stupid, he can definitely become famous with the sequel to "Chainsaw".

The director who can direct the sequel to "Saw" is undoubtedly lucky, and this lucky person, many people want to be, so these days, Huang Fanglin, the president of Williams Films, who is in Los Angeles, has almost no stop on the phone.

The call was originally made to Lin Han's assistant Yang Yi, but Lin Han saw that Yang Yi's mental and physical state was not very good, so he pushed it to Huang Fanglin, the president, the film matter, should have been the responsibility of Williams Films, and Lin Han wanted to do everything himself, why did he also set up the company Williams Films?

Although he already had a director candidate in mind, Lin Han still asked Huang Fanglin to release the news and let the new Hollywood directors send self-recommendations, and then Huang Fanglin went to interview these new Hollywood directors one by one.

Lin Han's intention to do this, firstly, he can exercise Huang Fanglin's ability, and secondly, he can dig out some good seedlings from these new directors, after all, Williams Film is in its infancy and urgently needs all kinds of talents, and thirdly, even if many new directors are not hired, this is also the first step for Huang Fanglin to integrate into Hollywood on behalf of Williams Films, who can know that among these new directors, there will be no dazzling characters in the future? It's always a good idea to build a good relationship ahead of time.

In the afternoon, Lin Han signed a preliminary contract of intent with Disney Pictures on behalf of Williams Films, and the real contract will be officially signed by Huang Fanglin, president of Williams Films, until Lin Han's funds are in place.

In other words, Lin Han determines the general direction, and the specific affairs are handed over to the company Williams Films to operate, and it is not good for him to raise more than 100 people with a high salary.

After two days of selection, Huang Fanglin put a list of new Hollywood directors in front of Lin Han, and the list contained detailed information about these directors, including the growth experience of these new directors and what works they have had.

In order to reflect a boss's respect for the hard work of his employees, Lin Han pretended to take the list and read it carefully for a long time, to his surprise, in this list, he saw the director candidate he had already selected in his heart.

Now, Lin Han doesn't have to worry about what words to use to find this director, which will hurt Comrade Huang Fanglin's heart.

"This is it! About a date with him, tomorrow, in ...... Let's meet at the café! Lin Han originally wanted to go to the pink house to meet the rookie director, but then thought about it, it seemed that this would put pressure on the other party, and finally chose a café with a relaxed atmosphere.

Huang Fanglin nodded, saying that he would immediately contact the Hollywood rookie director, and when he walked out of the door, Lin Han suddenly said: "Lao Huang, thank you for your hard work!" ”

Huang Fanglin's footsteps stopped, then smiled slightly, didn't say anything, with Lin Han's words, he suddenly felt that his hard work these days were worth it.

Although Huang Fanglin is much older than Lin Han, in terms of position, Lin Han is the boss, he is an employee, and he is naturally happy to be affirmed by the boss, and at the same time, he also feels worthy of the annual salary of millions every year, well, it is dollars.

Aug. 1, Beverly Hills, inside an ordinary café.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Lin Han drove outside the café alone, without bringing Li Qiang and other bodyguards, and he didn't want to put too much pressure on the Hollywood rookie director.

At a simple table, Lin Han met his chosen Hollywood newcomer, Darren Lynn Bausman.

It was a young man with a neat appearance and black-rimmed glasses, who looked more like a scholar than a director.

"Hi Mr. Bowsman, I'm Williams Lin! The coffee is not bad, right? Lin Han first stretched out his hand and greeted Boesman, who got up from the sofa with some flattery and held Lin Han's right hand tightly.

"Mr. Lin, I have admired the name for a long time, really, I like the movie "Saw Horror" very much, it has brought me so many inspirations, it simply makes me so excited that I can't sleep all night, I can't stop!" As soon as the movie was mentioned, Bowsman's crampedness suddenly disappeared and became endless.

Lin Han ordered a cup of coffee, and then quietly listened to Bousman's thoughts on "Saw" and his thoughts on a sequel.

Darren Lynn Boesman, a music MV and advertising director, when it comes to directing experience, this Hollywood rookie director who is the same age as Jay Chou and whose birthdays are not a few days apart is much more than Lin Han.

However, now Lin Han is already a cutting-edge director in Hollywood, and the difference between a new talent and a newcomer is a world of difference, so Lin Han can now look at Boussman as a predecessor.

Lin Han suddenly felt that it was correct to hear that most directors were otaku, and the Mr. Bowsman in front of him must have rarely spoken, so he could talk to Lin Han for more than half an hour.

After talking for so long, Boesman suddenly realized that he was a little out of shape, and said: "Hehe, I was a little excited to see the director of "Chainsaw", please forgive me. ”

Lin Han waved his hand and said, "It's okay! You are also about to become the director of "Chainsaw", if this time the shooting is good, I will also ask you to direct the third part! ”

Taking out a notebook from his bag, Lin Han said with a smile: "This is the script of "Chainsaw 2", you take it back and study it carefully, this time "Chainsaw 2", the budget is 10 million US dollars, of course, 6 million US dollars are publicity expenses, and you only have 4 million US dollars for production costs." ”

Seeing Boesman's excited expression, Lin Han suddenly said sternly: "My request is very simple, the shooting time is only 31 days at most, and the quality of the film must satisfy me, can you do it?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Lin, I think, I can!" Bousman replied earnestly and excitedly.
