Chapter 284: Winston's eldest daughter

In a private room of an inconspicuous café in Los Angeles, Lin Mingyang is vividly narrating the entire storyline of "Terminator 4" to Kate Beckinsale. Compared to the outline of the story described to Ex in the car after attending Tan-Winston's funeral last time, Lin Mingyang described to Kate this time the complete plot he had already conceived, and it took him three cups of coffee to finish the story.

Kate listened very carefully on the other side, her eyelashes glittering with a charming sheen in the shimmer, and a pair of clear and moving eyes wrapped in a faint smoky makeup, and the look in her eyes also changed with the ups and downs of the storyline. Especially the little upturned nose, which looks unusually delicate and cute when she is slightly pursed.

Zhu lips opened slightly, and Kate's beautiful face showed a puzzled look: "Since you have even thought about the script, why haven't you replied to Warner?" ”

Lin Mingyang winked at her deliberately: "What do you think?" ”

Kate thought about it with her hands "um...", and immediately had the answer in her heart: "Warners must have done something that you are not satisfied with, so you did it on purpose"

Lin Mingyang snapped his fingers proudly and said with a smile: "My Kate is the smartest."

Kate, whose cheeks were slightly hot, glared at him coquettishly, and then said worriedly: "I think you can directly raise any grievances with them... Drag on so much, I always feel like you're a naughty child. ”

Lin Mingyang shrugged noncommittally: "The production of this film is mainly Warner, and MGM's role is only a slightly higher status collaborator, so that they can take the initiative to come to me in a hurry, and my ideas and opinions can dominate"

Kate asked jokingly: "Every time Mr. Ex sees me, he says that you have been seriously 'poisoned' by Mr. Cameron, and now you are thinking about the filming of "Warcraft" all day long, aren't you in a hurry to drag it out like this?" ”

Lin Mingyang pouted: "No matter how I catch up with the schedule, this time I was still walked to the front by Cameron... After "Avatar" is released, the guys who complain about me will regret that they had such an idea in the first place. ”

Looking at Lin Mingyang's understated expression, Kate's doubts became more and more intense: "I'm curious, where did Warner provoke you?" ”

Lin Mingyang suddenly put his face in front of Kate, staring at her eyes in a daze. Kate was flustered for a while, and could only avoid Lin Mingyang's gaze by lowering her head and drinking coffee.

Her performance made Lin Mingyang more and more sure of the judgment in his heart: "Before we met, Ex must have looked for you"

"Mr. Ex begged me for help, so—" Kate bowed her head like a child who had done something wrong, and looked very pitiful.

Lin Mingyang's expressionless face one moment suddenly bloomed into a smile as bright as the sun in the next moment, "I don't have any opinion, but I have to wronged you to be the messenger in the middle."

Kate raised her head suddenly, looking at Lin Mingyang with watery eyes, "Mr. Ex asked me to hide it from you... Aren't you angry at all? ”

Lin Mingyang pretended to think and hesitated for a moment, and then deliberately put on a straight face: "Angry... So how do you think you should compensate me? ”

Kate, who was fooled, glared at him with shame, and Lin Mingyang, who was happy on his face, gave up the idea of continuing to tease her, and the whole person became serious: "Warner appointed the director of this film without consulting me in advance, but I think that guy will smash this film." ”

Kate frowned slightly: "The director they fancy is..."

"Joseph McGinty Niccher, maybe you'll be more familiar with calling him McG"

The long list of names in front of Kate really didn't have any impression in her mind, but Lin Mingyang's subsequent addition reminded her.

"You're talking about the director of the film "Breaking Bad"?"

Lin Mingyang nodded and said: "Even you only remember that he is the director of a certain film, which shows that he is really not famous in Hollywood... It may be unfair for me to say that, but he is certainly not my ideal director for the script. Just as humanity that relies too much on "Skynet" is on the verge of destruction, and relying too much on C is also walking on thin ice on the road to directing. If he were asked to direct this film, he would definitely take the luxurious image of the "Breaking Bad 2" series to the next level, and finally make the film "a Michael Bay movie that has been the underground part of "Escape from Clone Island from beginning to end"... It's rare to be filming with you again, I don't want the film to be messed up by an inexplicable guy."

――――

"Inexplicable?" After Warner President Steve learned from Ex about Lin Mingyang's evaluation of his selection of directors, his heart suddenly swelled with injustice, it seems that he is the most inexplicable guy in Hollywood, Lin Mingyang said that he is second, no one dares to be the first, right?

That's what I said to myself. The answer from the other end of the phone was full of helplessness, which showed that Exx also had a headache about this matter. After Kate learned what happened from Lin Mingyang, she made a phone call to Ex in front of Lin Mingyang. After Ex figured out Lin Mingyang's intentions, he immediately talked to Steve on the phone, which led to the previous scene.

"I know Nicher has some minor problems, but his directing ability is obvious to all..."Steve couldn't help but feel a little weak when he said this, after "Breaking Bad 2", the action and explosion of entertainment blockbusters could no longer satisfy McG's appetite, so he immediately filmed a movie "We Are Marshall".

Starring Matthew McConaughey, the film tells the story of what happened on the football team within Marshall University. Although the filming was initially well received, the film received a mediocre response after its release. McG didn't use the film to gain more attention or deeper recognition for himself, and fans still call him "the director of "Breaking Bad" when they mention him

The worst thing is not that this guy is not famous, McG's personality is also considered eccentric by many people, and the media has called him an "elusive eccentric". He is often foul-mouthed and open-mouthed like a reckless teenager, and when he talks to people, if they see him as a high-minded film director, they are quickly confused by his street gangster personal style.

In terms of personality, MCG and Lin Mingyang are both a little reckless, but although Lin Mingyang's style of doing things is independent and special, his personality is not as neurotic as McG, the key is that Lin Mingyang has the capital to not care about the cynicism of the media, no matter how the scandal is hyped all over the sky, there are still countless fans who love him to death, and MCG can't compare to Lin Mingyang in this regard.

Of course, Steve will not have a fight with Lin Mingyang for an unknown director, they also have ambitions to create a new trilogy with "Terminator 4", and Lin Mingyang is the key to the success of this plan. Without Schwarzenegger, the last trump card in the hands of the Terminator series is Lin Mingyang, for the sake of longer-term interests, the final compromise is naturally Warner: "Since Mr. is not satisfied with Nicher, then he should always give a favorite replacement, right?" ”

"I didn't say that, I'll ask him again." On the phone, Eks's cheap and obedient tone made Steve feel the urge to smash the phone, but the situation was pressing, and in the face of Lin Mingyang's attitude of not being hard or soft, the Warner company represented by Steve had no way but to agree to change the director.

Thinking of Lin Mingyang's temper, Steve simply transferred the question of the director selection directly to MGM, anyway, everyone was tied to a boat, which made Lin Mingyang have a "headache" for himself

――――

Kate and Lin Mingyang sat in the café for more than half an hour, and before leaving, Lin Mingyang finally received a text message from Ex.

After reading it, he smiled slightly, and then raised his phone at Kate: "It's done"

Kate, who had already stood up with her bag, nodded understandingly, and she asked while wearing sunglasses, "Where are we going next?" ”

Lin Mingyang also put on sunglasses, and said mysteriously before going out: "Go see Winston's daughter, she will take us to meet a very interesting guy"

Kate suddenly stopped and looked at Lin Mingyang with a stern expression, "Winston's daughter? ”

Lin Mingyang felt that something was wrong when he saw Kate's expression, thinking of his playboy image of "messing with flowers" in the eyes of the media, he immediately realized and hurriedly explained: "Mr. Winston's daughter is already a mother of two children, she found something related to me in her father's will, and she took the initiative to contact me, saying that she wanted to meet me... The general situation should be that Mr. Winston was going to recommend a replacement to me on his deathbed, but I didn't know the other party, so Mr. Winston's daughter was going to act as this intermediary, and she asked me to meet today, and it just so happened that you also had free time, so let's go together."

Kate's mind was broken by Lin Mingyang, her face turned red, and she said softly: "Who is going to go with you?"

"Didn't someone ask me where I was going next just now..."It was rare to see Kate such a little daughter, Lin Mingyang smiled, and deliberately put his face in front of her: "Could it be that my ears heard it wrong?" ”

Kate looked at him with a look of shame, and she didn't know what to say in a hurry.

Lin Mingyang looked at Kate's "aggrieved" appearance, and suddenly there was a hint of joy in his heart that the prank was successful, and he shook his head and asked himself: "Could it be that you suddenly have something... I'd better go by myself, I heard that Mr. Winston has a little daughter, and this time she will come with her sister, and I remember that there was such a beautiful woman at the funeral, but the atmosphere was not suitable for talking to her, this time..."

Kate was so anxious that she stomped her foot: "What do you say, who said I don't have time, just go, who is afraid of whom"

Lin Mingyang snapped his fingers again, "OK, then let's go now"
