Chapter 236: Pirates
PS: Thank you for the reward of "Radiance 11 Coverage"!!
Lin Zhimo found that the person in front of him didn't put his mind on the game like himself, and he couldn't help but lean his head over in curiosity, wanting to see what the other party was doing with his head down.
When Lin Zhimo got closer, he found that the other party was writing something with a pencil in a notebook at this time, and when Lin Zhimo saw the other party's words clearly, he couldn't help but sigh.
Although the man's mind was so focused on what he wrote that he couldn't even bother to watch the football game, he still heard Lin Zhimo's voice in his ear.
He immediately looked at Lin Zhimo with a displeased face.
How to say that what a person writes should be considered a private matter, even if it is not a confidential matter, it is not a happy thing to be looked at like this.
Lin Zhimo was naturally embarrassed, he just wanted to see what the other party was doing out of curiosity, and he had no other thoughts.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to see what you wrote, I was just curious...... I'm sorry! Lin Zhimo blushed and kept apologizing.
The man saw that Lin Zhimo was quite sincere, and the other party didn't necessarily know what he was writing, so he nodded and planned to continue writing his own things, and at the same time, a question also rose in his mind: "This person looks a little familiar......
But that's what he thought about and didn't continue to dig deeper, after all, in his opinion, Asians almost all look similar.
The middle-aged man turned his head away. But Lin Zhimo's curiosity was aroused, because he just saw that what the other party wrote was actually a script, if it was correct, it should be a movie script.
However, his behavior just now had already caused the other party to be displeased, and at this time, Lin Zhimo was embarrassed to continue to disturb the other party.
At this moment, Shakira also sat down from her seat, and she saw that Lin Zhimo's face was a little strange and couldn't help asking, "Lin, what's wrong, I see that your face is not very good." β
How could Lin Zhimo say this matter, so he replied vaguely: "It's nothing, I'm fine." β
And the middle-aged man who was originally sitting in front of Lin Zhimo couldn't help but turn around when he heard the conversation between Lin Zhimo and Shakira, and his eyes couldn't help but light up when he saw Shakira. smiled: "I'll just say how to listen to the familiar sound." It's really you, Shakira! β
Shakira was also slightly stunned when she saw the other party, and then smiled and said, "Hey! Terry, hello. I didn't expect to see you here! β
Lin Zhimo saw that Shakira actually knew the other party, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed again. His hands rubbed unnaturally together on his legs. After all, what I just did was not something to be praised.
Shakira didn't notice Lin Zhimo's small movements, she enthusiastically introduced Lin Zhimo: "Lin, this is Terry. RocΓo. is a screenwriter; Terry, this is Lin Zhimo, you should have seen the two of us perform the other day. β
Only then did Terry react to why he looked at Lin Zhimo familiarly, and at the same time, he also remembered that Lin Zhimo won the best actor at the Berlin Film Festival, so he also smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Lin." β
"Uh, hello, Mr. Roccio, I'm really sorry just now." Although Lin Zhimo felt embarrassed, he still honestly admitted his mistakes.
Lin Zhimo's attitude made Terry's impression of him change greatly, regardless of whether Lin Zhimo deliberately read what he wrote just now, but now Lin Zhimo's honest conduct makes him quite appreciated.
"Lin, did something happen just now?" Shakira asked, confused.
"It's nothing, there was a little misunderstanding just now, it was Lin Duo who thought about it, it's okay." Without waiting for Lin Zhimo to answer, Terry answered Shakira's question first.
Lin Zhimo glanced at Terry with some gratitude, and then said to Shakira: "It's nothing, it's really okay." β
"Really?" Shakira glanced at the two of them suspiciously. She could naturally see what should have happened between the two, but she also knew that there were some things that men didn't want women to know, so she had to suppress the doubts in her heart.
Since Lin Zhimo and Terry have Shakira, a mutual friend of the two, the little misunderstanding just now is naturally not worth mentioning, and Lin Zhimo also learned from Shakira that Terry is still a Hollywood celebrity. Elliott was co-nominated for an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.
Since Shakira was concentrating on watching the game, Lin Zhimo and Terry naturally chatted together.
"Terry, take the liberty of asking, were you just writing a movie script?" Lin Zhimo hesitated and asked.
"Huh? Yes, yes, you see that? β
Terry was stunned for a moment, and then thought that Lin Zhimo was also an actor, so he understood.
"Yes, I'm actually a screenwriter myself." Lin Zhimo said a word, and then continued to ask: "I think you want to write a movie about pirates?" β
"Oh? You're still a screenwriter? Terry didn't answer Lin Zhimo's words, but glanced at Lin Zhimo in surprise.
In European and American countries, most of the stars in the entertainment industry only specialize in one industry, singers are singers, and rarely become actors; It is also rare for an actor to release a record because of "acting and singing".
But now Lin Zhimo is both a singer and an actor, and he actually said that he is also a screenwriter, which made Terry couldn't help but feel surprised, and he even had a ridiculous feeling in his heart, in his opinion, Lin Zhimo was quite unprofessional.
At this time, the wave of the American team's offensive had just ended, and Shakira also sat down again, and she said to Terry: "Terry, don't underestimate Lin. He's the most talented I've ever met! β
After speaking, he gave Terry a detailed introduction to Lin Zhimo, things such as record sales and box office miracles are naturally big boasts, and Lin Zhimo's deeds also made Terry stunned, he couldn't have imagined that Lin Zhimo was so versatile.
"Lin, you're amazing!" Terry couldn't help but give Lin Zhimo a thumbs up. He and Shakira are also old friends. He believed Shakira's words, and with Shakira's character, even if they were exaggerated, they were not as bad as that.
Because of this, he felt great admiration for Lin Zhimo, as Shakira said just now, Lin Zhimo's achievements in every industry are probably things that others have to work hard for a lifetime, but Lin Zhimo has done everything.
Lin Zhimo hurriedly said modestly: "I'm not as exaggerated as Shakira said. β
After a few polite sentences, Lin Zhimo once again turned the topic to the script that Terry had just written.
"Actually, I wanted to write an idea about pirates ten years ago, but it wasn't until recently that I got the news that there was an investor willing to make a film about pirates, so Ted and I started working on it." Terry's attitude towards Lin Zhimo now is completely different from what he did just now. gave Lin Zhimo a little explanation. Then he asked, "Why, are you also interested in pirates?" β
Lin Zhimo smiled: "No, it's just that I was a little curious when I saw the script you wrote." Do you want to write a story about the Vikings? β
The Vikings lived in Northern Europe more than 1,000 years ago, in the area of present-day Norway, Denmark and Sweden. They infested the coast of Europe and the British islands from the 8th to the 11th centuries AD. It covers a vast territory from the European continent to the Arctic. This period in Europe is known as the "Viking Age".
Films and literature about the Vikings are also common. That's why Lin Zhimo asked this question.
Terry shook his head: "No, what we intend to write is a story about pirates in the Caribbean in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, which is already far from the time of the Vikings. β
"Oh......" Lin Zhimo nodded. Then he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Sixteenth or seventeenth century?" At that time, our China was also a period of piracy......"
Now it was Terry's turn to be interested, he had already checked a lot of documents about Caribbean pirates for this movie, and even turned out the travel documents of the British Royal Fleet at that time, at this time, he heard that Lin Zhimo knew the story about the Chinese pirates of that period, and he couldn't help but feel a little itchy in his heart.
"Really? Can you tell me about it? Terry asked, somewhat eagerly.
"Of course!" Lin Zhimo naturally wouldn't refuse, and after a little recall, he didn't tell it for the first time, but asked Terry: "Terry, I think you must have consulted a lot of documents about pirates at that time, right?" β
"That's nature." Although Terry didn't understand why Lin Zhimo had this question, he still replied confidently: "For this reason, I have read as many boxes of books. β
"You're hard working." After praising Terry first, Lin Zhimo asked again: "Since you have read so many books, have you ever heard of Nikolai. The name of Yiguan? β
"Nikolai...... An official? Terry said this word with some difficulty, frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly patted his forehead and said: "I remember, there is such a name, it seems that the Dutch were the leader in Southeast Asia at that time, and they have a very strong strength in Southeast Asia!" β
Lin Zhimo nodded and said, "Yes, as you said, this one is named Nikolai. The official was the biggest pirate in Southeast Asia at that time, and there were 100,000 pirates under his hands! β
"One hundred thousand!" Terry couldn't help but take a breath, knowing that at that time, even those pirate colonial countries were only 100,000 soldiers. Under the command of a single official, there are 100,000 pirates alone, which is terrifying to think about.
"He's famous in your Chinese history, isn't he?" Terry asked curiously.
"Of course it's famous." Lin Zhimo smiled, "But he is not as famous as his son, his son's name is Zheng Chenggong, he drove out the Dutch stationed in Taiwan and occupied Taiwan." β
Terry couldn't help but sigh: "What a pair of heroic father and son!" β
Lin Zhimo smiled slightly.
Because of this topic, the conversation between Lin Zhimo and Terry went very smoothly, and Terry also got a lot of creative inspiration from the stories told by Lin Zhimo.
"Lin, it's really a pleasure to chat with you, I hope we can cooperate next time." At the end of the game, Terry actually had a feeling of seeing Lin Zhimo late, and he now believed in Shakira's words just now, after all, Lin Zhimo's knowledge in his mind is too rich, and his vision is very unique, and he will always find another side that is unknown when he sees things.
Terry, as a screenwriter, naturally has a lot of knowledge, after all, he needs to write a script as realistic as possible, which requires him to have a lot of knowledge reserves, but he feels that he is probably slightly inferior to Lin Zhimo.
"You're going to have a chance!"
Shakira interjected at this time and said: "Next, Lin Zhimo plans to collaborate with me on a record in the United States, if nothing else, with this opportunity, I believe that he will soon have a place in Hollywood." β
Although after the contact just now, Terry has been impressed by Lin Zhimo, but he still has doubts about whether Lin Zhimo can enter the American market with this record as Shakira said.
However, he has no doubt that Lin Zhimo will enter Hollywood sooner or later, he believes that with Lin Zhimo's talent, China's entertainment industry will definitely not tolerate him, and he will enter Hollywood like Li Lianjie and Cheng Long sooner or later. (To be continued......)
