Lin Mingyang has not been seen for more than two weeks in Yamakasi, and knowing that he has not left, the reporters outside the door naturally have no reason to leave first. In fact, with the in-depth understanding of parkour and watching the training of so many other members of Yamakasi, they have always been very curious about the effect of Lin Mingyang's training, and finally a video video provided by Sabasti came forward to meet their needs.

This video is not Lin Mingyang's solo show, but more like a promotional video for Yamakasi, where Sabasti managed to convince David Bell that all the members of Yamakasi made a collective appearance in it, and then everyone showed off their skills individually. Among them, the period of time about Lin Mingyang is the shortest, because Lin Mingyang's movements are very short, and when crossing various obstacles, he chooses the most direct and effective method, compared to the other members, it is more like a performance.

After the video appeared on the front page of several major entertainment portals in the United States, the number of hits and downloads both passed down to the website. In elaborating on the concept of parkour, Sabasti deliberately highlights the symbolism of the sport for freedom, which can be said to play into the weakness of the Americans. Thrilling and exciting, with a little bit of the pursuit of freedom, parkour has quickly become a symbol of teenage pop culture in the United States.

During this period, Yamakasi reached an agreement with two well-known sports brands in Europe to cooperate with each other, and then they received a large amount of sponsorship, and the financial situation of the whole Yamakasi was greatly improved. And in that grand and ambitious plan that Sabasti has made, this is only the first small step.

The night before Lin Mingyang left, Yamakasi specially held a small farewell party for him. Yamakasi has changed dramatically during this time, and the joy of fame has made all the members emotional, so everyone drank beer at this parting party as an exception.

At the party, everyone excitedly drained glass after glass of beer, and the drunk Sabasti excitedly described the beautiful blueprint of Yamakasi's future to the others, and everyone listened so fascinated that there were two fewer people around them, and no one even noticed.

"You don't drink?" On the empty roof, Lin Mingyang saw David Bell sitting there alone, looking up at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

"It's a party just for you, but don't you drink it too?" David Bell didn't look back, and Lin Mingyang sat next to him unceremoniously.

"I don't think the law in France allows underage drinking either, so I don't want to get you in trouble before I leave."

"In fact, you've caused us quite a bit of trouble." David Bell smiled, unscrewed a can of juice, and handed it to Lin Mingyang, "The prohibition of drinking alcohol was agreed upon by everyone when Yamakasi was established, and we wanted to find a healthy state of life at that time, so we made such a rule. Although the current Yamakasi is no longer the Yamakasi of the past, please allow me to have my own insistence! ”

"Actually, it's supposed to be me who is sorry, maybe without me, Yamakasi would still be the original Yamakasi!" Lin Mingyang heard the bitterness in David Bell's words.

"It's none of your business, as you said, it's a trend and none of us can change it!" David Bell shook his head, "Everyone else welcomed the change, except me. Maybe it won't be long before I'll be gone, just like you. ”

The sweet and sour juice gave Lin Mingyang a bitter taste in his mouth, and he was even beginning to doubt whether his original decision was true. I want to change the historical trajectory of Yamakasi's development, but there is still a pair of invisible hands pulling the rope of fate in the dark, David Bell finally has to choose to leave Yamakasi, as a participant in the whole thing, Lin Mingyang doesn't even know how to persuade him. A deep sense of guilt weighed heavily on his heart.

"It was my own decision, I don't know if I made the right choice, maybe I'll come back when I find out I'm wrong!" Seeing Lin Mingyang's depressed expression, David Bell comforted him a few words in turn, and then said with some emotion: "Actually, I hope that I was wrong in the end, because it is easy for me to turn back, and it is not so easy for Sabasti to turn back!" ”

Except for Lin Mingyang and David Bell, the rest of the Yamakasi members were drunk that night, and no one knew that there had been such a conversation on the rooftop. The next morning, everyone sent Lin Mingyang to the door, and the agent Exx, who had been waiting outside, brought 8 bodyguards, and under the onlookers of reporters' flashlights, Lin Mingyang reluctantly said goodbye to the members of Yamakasi.

Sabasti was the first to step forward and hug Lin Mingyang, and then he whispered in Lin Mingyang's ear: "I'm waiting for your good news in the United States!" ”

For some reason, Lin Mingyang suddenly felt that Sabasti's voice was very harsh, and he casually said "um", which was regarded as a reply to the other party.

Black Brooke said in a choked voice as he hugged him, "We're going to miss you!" ”

"Me too!" Lin Mingyang, who was wearing sunglasses, was still a little moved, and the other members also hugged him last time in turn, and David Bell was still at the end.

"If you think you're right, keep going, good luck!"

――――

The difference between the last time Ackes was just picking up the plane at the airport and this time he flew from the United States to Paris speaks volumes. Unlike last time, this time Lin Mingyang no longer has that feeling of being flattered, he can't talk about maturity, but he sees some issues more thoroughly.

"I heard you've resigned from The Walt Disney Company?" This was Lin Mingyang's first question after getting in the car.

"Yes, I'll be your full-time agent from now on!" Ex replied with a smile on his face.

"I don't know how you convinced my parents, but you have to know that in two years, I can make any decision that I can make, including firing you!" Lin Mingyang unceremoniously said the ugly things ahead.

"That's why I flew from the United States to Paris, and I want to be recognized by you more than your parents!" Ex understands that friendship is friendship, and work is work, which is the tradition of American business society. After going through so many things, Exx had long put away his contempt for Lin Mingyang's age.

"So I'm in demand right now?" Lin Mingyang asked seemingly casually.

"Basically, you can say that in the eyes of some people, you are a green dollar!" Ecks used a very vivid analogy, "Twilight has sold more than 10 million copies in the United States, and in Europe, 1.5 million copies have been sold in the United Kingdom alone. ”

"And how much money do I have right now?" The wealthy class in the United States accounts for only 5% of the total population, which is a very vague concept, so Lin Mingyang wants to know a specific number.

"Your current account balance with JPMorgan Chase & Co. is $46,372,318." Ex gave an accurate number call.

"So I'm already so rich!" Lin Mingyang smiled self-deprecatingly, "No wonder you hired such a luxurious security team!" ”

"That's what your parents mean, too!" On the surface, Aix's most direct employer is still Lin Mingyang's parents.

"What about the rest of the world besides the publication of Twilight?"

"Pirates of the Caribbean has grossed $860 million worldwide, and the sequel is already in the pipeline, and the good news is that you've been paid $1 million for a sequel."

"That's all?" Lin Mingyang snorted softly, thinking that this is also good news, "So what is Mr. Johnny Depp's salary?" ”

"Ten times yours!"

Lin Mingyang shook his head helplessly, "The gap is still very big!" ”

"With all due respect, if you are purely in terms of income, your biggest advantage right now is in the creation of the novel "Twilight"." Ex smiled, "And you have to be clear that Johnny Depp is paid less than one-tenth of your salary at your age." ”

This answer made Lin Mingyang very satisfied, and he had now initially recognized Ex's ability, so he began to ask for the other party's opinion: "So what should I do after I return to the United States?" Honestly going back to school? ”

"That's exactly what your parents want to see the most." A hint of cunning flashed at the corner of Ex's raised mouth, "But I don't think you'll be a good obedient boy!" ”

"I'll go back to school, but I don't want to be idle during this time, so you'll have to come up with an idea for me." This is the benefit of a professional agent, Lin Mingyang can leave all the troubles to Exx to solve.

"If you have a mature idea or a good idea, it should be a good idea to use this time to write a script!" Ex said with a sincere suggestion.

"What if I wanted to make a movie?" Lin Mingyang's sudden thought startled Exx.

"Are you sure you're not kidding me?"

Lin Mingyang nodded very seriously, "Am I joking with you?" ”

"What worries me is that you not only want to make a movie, but you also plan to write, direct and act yourself?" Ex confirmed his concern from Lin Mingyang's expression, "From a budding actor to a film director, don't you think the span is too big?" ”

"Because someone told you that if you think it's right, you should try it!"

"Just trying?" Ex keenly captured the words in Lin Mingyang's words, "If you promise me, this is just an attempt, whether it succeeds or not." ”

"Does this need to be so serious?" Lin Mingyang still had an indifferent expression on his face, but his evaluation of Ex in his heart was even better. For the fanatical ideas in his head, what Lin Mingyang needs most is to have a cautious person around him to help him transform these ideas into rational and implementable plans.

"Why would you rush to become a director when you could give up three months of precious time to stay in France?" Ex heard the room for maneuver in Lin Mingyang's tone, and then began to persuade Lin Mingyang bitterly, "I have seen many young geniuses in Hollywood, and they all have talents that are not inferior to yours, and I take the liberty of saying that some of them are even better than you, but how many of them can leave their names on the Avenue of Fame in the end?" They are like a meteor that burns for a short period of time and then disappears completely. And those respected big stars in Hollywood, which one is not a late bloomer, can it be said that they lived in vain when they were young? ”

Without waiting for Lin Mingyang to answer, Ex shook his head to himself, "Of course not, because they worked hard to accumulate when they were young, and this is what they have later." Premature fame is both an advantage and a burden for you. What you can represent now is just a youthful trend, not an enduring classic. Only when the years have precipitated a certain thickness on the human body, will you become like Johnny Depp or Tom Hanks, this taste will not fade with the years, but it can be brewed more and more like fine wine, this feeling, you can feel in Sean Connery. ”

"Do you think I should be an actor for the rest of my life?" Lin Mingyang asked rhetorically.

"For most people, it's not easy to do one thing well in a lifetime." Ex sighed with some emotion, "I've never seen through the thoughts in your head, so I can't draw any conclusions about you. And don't you think it's too early to draw conclusions about yourself? ”

"Well, I'll admit I just wanted to give it a try." Lin Mingyang finally confessed his thoughts to Eckstein, he didn't plan to become a director immediately, he just wanted to experience what it's like to be a director in advance, and pass the boring free time by the way.
