Chapter 132: Mark's Decision

The effect of the whole test screening should be relatively successful. No matter how these critics rate the film when they go back, as a comedy, if it can bring continuous laughter to the audience, then the film is half the battle. The part where the actor made an impassioned statement at the hearing, as the ** of the film, brought a strong impact to everyone, on the one hand, because the lines themselves were very powerful, and on the other hand, thanks to Justin Lang's emotional performance.

The film ends with a comedic ending. At the end, whether it was out of the need for etiquette or not, everyone present applauded anyway, and most of the applause was very warm, from their faces with different expressions, Lin Mingyang could even imagine what kind of "lively" scene the film and television reviews in the newspaper would be tomorrow.

However, these have nothing to do with Lin Mingyang for the time being, and after the test screening, Blake Lively said goodbye to Lin Mingyang reluctantly. During this time, her schedule is very full, and she has an audition to attend tomorrow, and she has to fly back to Los Angeles to continue to pursue her dream of stardom.

Blake Lively's departure relieved Ginny, and when she got back in the car, she took the passenger seat as a matter of course. On the way, the topics that everyone talked about were all related to the "Admission Notice" that they had just read. Of them, Greene Nat was the most excited, and he thought the film was simply cool.

"When I have money in the future, I'll buy the whole Harvard and build a supermarket."

Before Green-Nut could finish his words, he was mercilessly sarcastic from Ginny, "If the Harvard trustees really lack the money to sell the school to you idiot, it is estimated that the school will almost go out of business." If you are really going to buy a university, I suggest you learn from the actor in the movie and get a university yourself...... It's a pity that there doesn't seem to be an abandoned psychiatric hospital near our school. ”

"I want to build the school into a huge educational supermarket, where students can choose courses as if they were choosing goods in the supermarket, completely free, completely based on their own preferences, no longer limited by credits, no longer have professional rules, everyone can give full play to their own strengths and hobbies."

When Green-Nutter said this, everyone was dumbfounded, and the most surprised of them all was Ginny, who took out her notebook and scribbled down this passage, which would definitely be useful if you want to organize the reporting material.

"We look forward to the day when your dreams come true!"

When they returned to the dormitory, Mark Zuckerberg was sitting alone in the living room, silent as a statue. Because the lights were not turned on, Green-Nutter, who was the first to walk in, was startled by him.

"Mark, what are you doing sitting here at such a late hour...... Oh, I know, you're going to stay up late writing a program today? ”

Lin Mingyang noticed that Mark Zuckerberg's expression was a little weird, and then the other party said: "I have something to announce to you, and I have been thinking about it for a whole day. ”

Billy Olsen yawned, "So serious...... Are you in love? ”

Mark Zuckerberg said seriously, "I'm ready to drop out!" ”

It's finally here! Lin Mingyang sighed helplessly in his heart, his appearance still did not change the trajectory of Mark Zuckerberg's fate, and he still chose to drop out of school. He knew Mark Zuckerberg would definitely go down this path, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Everyone else was shocked by Mark Zuckerberg's crazy idea, and it took a long time for Green-Nut to stammer, "Mark, are you sure you're not talking in your sleep?" ”

Mark Zuckerberg's eyes are so intense that a sleepwalker certainly doesn't have such an expression. Green-Nat was a little hard at the end of the day: "I mean...... Are you really ready to give up your studies? ”

"I've seriously thought about it, maybe I'll leave, but I'll rent a house outside, and we can see each other more often in the future." Mark Zuckerberg has made up his mind.

Compared with Olsen and Natling, Lin Mingyang's reaction was the calmest among the three, and he was also the only person in the dormitory who did not say anything to keep Mark Zuckerberg, because he knew that he could not change the other party's decision.

"Are you going to give up your student status outright, or are you going to take a break from school for a while?" Harvard allows students to take a leave of absence to start a business, which is why Lin Mingyang asked.

"At present, I am applying for a leave of absence, but if Facebook really develops, I estimate it will be difficult to come back." It wasn't a sudden decision, and Mark Zuckerberg had already thought about the possible consequences before that.

"I heard that Bill Gates came to give a lesson to your computer science students the other day, and your decision has something to do with that?" Because he often reads "Harvard Crimson", Lin Mingyang's news is quite well-informed.

"Pretty much, in that class, Gates encouraged us to work on a project in our spare time, and he jokingly told us, 'If Microsoft fails, I'll go back to Harvard,' and if Facebook fails, I'll go back to Harvard!"

Without much hesitation, Mark Zuckerberg followed in the path of his predecessors and left the Harvard campus. He was also considered a popular figure at Harvard, and his withdrawal caused quite a bit of controversy in the school, with the Harvard Crimson Newspaper comparing him to "Bill Gates second", and most people admired his courage to pioneer a career.

Before Mark Zuckerberg officially moved out of the H33 dormitory, everyone held a small farewell party for him, and at this party, Lin Mingyang finally met Mark Zuckerberg's mysterious girlfriend.

Mark Zuckerberg, who was a little drunk, walked up to Lin Mingyang with his girlfriend around his arms and introduced: "Priscilla, this is my big star roommate, he is also a Facebook investor, we are not only good friends, but also business partners!" ”

Lin Mingyang nodded slightly at the other party, raised his glass, and spoke with a bit of ridicule.

"We've been speculating about what kind of girlfriend Mark is going to get. A guy like him, who never pays attention to his personal image and is very casual in life, is not easy to find a girl who can tolerate him! ”

"Then you must be a little disappointed, because I'm not the beauty everyone thinks!" This Chinese girl named Priscilla Chen is not good-looking, and her body is still on the fat side, and she should belong to the type of person who is not amazing in the crowd.

Priscilla Chen is very calm about her appearance, it is not easy for a girl to do this, which is enough to impress Lin Mingyang, and she also has the kind of pride unique to Harvard, coupled with her Chinese identity, which makes Lin Mingyang have an inexplicable good impression of her.

"The most charming thing about a woman is not her appearance but her temperament, there is an old Chinese saying, virtue is natural fragrance. I have reason to believe that the woman standing behind Mark can be ordinary, but by no means mediocre. "It's a bit troublesome to use English to express the classical Chinese in Chinese, so the second half of Lin Mingyang's sentence is directly in Chinese.

Priscilla Chan knew that Lin Mingyang was a mixed-race Chinese, and it was not surprising to hear such words from his mouth, and the two looked at each other and smiled, but Mark Zuckerberg was confused.

"Actually, I still want to thank you for your help to Mark during this time, I don't just mean that you injected money into Facebook, you and Mark live in the same bedroom, but I know Mark never cleans his room, and there are not many roommates like you who can tolerate his bad habits!" Priscilla-Chan said sincerely.

"As long as you don't think I've spoiled him." Lin Mingyang raised his glass to the two, "Mark and his former roommate have dismantled the bunk bed, I hope my next roommate can also accept this change!" ”

-- After Christmas, Mark Zuckerberg took a leave of absence and officially left Harvard. Except for an empty bed in the room, Lin Mingyang's life has not changed much. Towards the end of the semester, everyone is busy finishing the paperwork assigned by the professors, and people often stay up late in the library. In contrast, Lin Mingyang is much more relaxed, he did not choose two majors like most people. Lin Mingyang has to take care of his acting career, and in this state of dual-use, it is already very good to be able to successfully get a degree in psychology.

Fortunately, there is a video of an online public class, and Lin Mingyang's courses that he missed because of filming can be made up, and in the final coursework evaluation, his scores are above B, which can only be regarded as average at Harvard, and it is basically useless to apply for a scholarship, but this has already made Lin Mingyang very satisfied.

Harvard's coursework had just ended, and the Disney Company came to the door. The filming of the third episode of "Youth Musical" was put on Disney's filming agenda a year ago, but it has been postponed for various reasons.

This time the Disney company found a good reason, the "Youth Musical" trilogy tells the story of the male and female protagonists in four years of high school, and the first two episodes were filmed only one year apart, and the last episode was launched after a gap of two years, and the filming cycle of the entire film just coincided with reality. Lin Mingyang only starred in this movie in his second year of high school, and although he has actually gone to college, he still has to go back to high school in the film to make up for the shortcomings of this episode.

The "High School Musical" series is undoubtedly Disney Channel's most successful original TV movie, and with the first two episodes of the film, Disney Channel has twice broken its own ratings record. Although the media is already predicting the story of the fourth episode, Lin Mingyang, the lead actor and screenwriter, has made it clear to Disney that the third episode will be the end. He has sold the rights to the film to the Disney Company, and it is Disney's own business to not have a sequel, but the third episode of "Youth Musical" will be his last stop to bid farewell to the youth campus movie.

The idolized role can no longer meet the needs of Lin Mingyang's self-development, he really wants to be a powerful movie star, majoring in psychology in college, in order to be able to better grasp and interpret the psychology of the role, and lay the foundation for future performances.

Considering the enthusiastic pursuit of many fans, Disney decided to directly upgrade the third story carrier of the film from TV to the big screen, and they believe that if the same content can be seen from several times or even more than ten times larger screens, it will definitely bring the audience a different audio-visual enjoyment.

The most excited about this decision is director Kenny Ortega, who has a brilliant track record in television, but the real movie is only "Baseball Girl". The film's box office success gave Kenny Ortega a taste of sweetness, and now when it comes to bringing his most proud "Youth Musical" to the big screen, he naturally raises his hands in favor.

Just as excited as Kenny Ortega is the film's star Megan Fox, who has yet to officially star in a movie, despite making Megan a household name in two "High School Musicals." "Youth Musical" will become Megan's screen debut, and in Lin Mingyang's private message on Facebook, she shows excitement and joy between the lines.

Lin Mingyang was busy reviewing during this time, and when he opened the Facebook page in his free time, he himself was taken aback, he hadn't been online for a few days, and there were more than 2,000 messages on the homepage.

So far, Mr. Lin's Page still has the highest number of visits to Facebook users, and most of these comments are from his movie fans. Among them, Lin Mingyang actually found more than 10 messages from Megan, and they were all encrypted non-public information.

Lin Mingyang clicked on them one by one, and the first message was sent by Megan three days ago, and the message was accompanied by a picture in which Megan tattooed a Marilyn Monroe portrait on her right forearm.

When Megan was a baby, she would cry every time she heard Monroe's voice on TV, and this time she tattooed her idol directly on her arm, and her first message was to show Lin Mingyang this beautiful tattoo.

When Lin Mingyang continued to look down at the message, he realized that this tattoo had brought unexpected trouble to Megan.

In the U.S. movie rating system, a G rating stands for people of all ages to tune in. In the United States, only children's cartoons can get this rating, and the first two parts of "Youth Musical" were rated G, not only because of the positive and inspirational theme of the film, but also because of the healthy and upward image of the actors in the film.

Meghan and Kenny Ortega had some arguments over the tattoo, and in the end the result of a compromise between the two parties was that Megan could keep the tattoo, but when the film was filmed, it had to be covered up by special means. Meghan was a little reluctant, but helpless, and finally she swore in the message that she would never play the role of such a good girl again.
