"Yo, big director, I actually started writing novels, don't say that I'm not doing my job, so are you. ↗ The top novel, "Xu Jinglei."

"If you hadn't seen the news, I wouldn't have known you were writing a novel, you really love to hide it from us! Also, you are already so rich, can you not change the way to collect money, how can we be embarrassed by the favor of those of us who can only earn money from the salary of acting! "Wang Luodan.

"Novel, silently, Yuquan, you tossed so big, Anla, when the novel comes on the market, I will definitely buy a copy to support you." Zhu Yawen.

Lin Yuquan, who was sitting on the sofa, smiled, looked at the text messages sent by everyone, and replied one by one, because the domestic media reprinted the reports of Europe and the United States, and the domestic publishing houses also began to publicize, so he received a lot of text messages or phone calls from friends for a while.

"Lalala, lalala, can't see through your lost soul, can't guess the color of your pupils, a gust of wind, a dream, love is as unpredictable as life, what is your heart bewitched, your silhouette is drowned in the night"

The mobile phone rang, and Lin Yuquan picked up the phone.

"Brother Yuquan, I have seen a report about your new book in China, and I wish you a great seller." A nice voice came from the phone.

"Thank you, Yifei." Lin Yuquan, who was sitting on the sofa, said with a smile, Liu Yifei knew that he wrote novels. The last time she was in Los Angeles. I saw him writing in the study.

"It's a pity that the country has more than half a month of night market compared to the United States. I can't wait to see the rest of the story. Liu Yifei sighed, and after seeing Lin Yuquan writing, she read all the drafts of "Wild Records" that Lin Yuquan had completed.

"Oh, no way, domestic and other overseas regions need to prepare separately, in fact, the country is already relatively fast, and some areas will take at least two or three months later!" Lin Yuquan smiled slightly, when he was writing "The Wild Story". Chinese and English editions were written respectively, so the Chinese-speaking and English-speaking regions were the fastest places for the novel to be released, and other language countries still needed to have someone carefully translated.

"But it's going to take so long! I just don't want to wait a moment. Liu Yifei said sullenly.

The corners of Lin Yuquan's mouth pulled up a smile, and he chatted with Liu Yifei for a while before hanging up the phone, and after looking at the time, he immediately turned his gaze to the TV screen. The episode of "Oprah Talk Show" recorded by Mel the day before yesterday will be broadcast simultaneously in more than 120 cities across the United States during the day today, and he has a habit of watching it himself after participating in a certain show.

And the same scene. Not only happened to Lin Yuquan, but not only happened to Stephanie. Mel. It is still happening in countless cities and countless families across the United States, and some of them are "Oprah Talk Show"

Some of the loyal viewers are Lin Yuquan and Stephanie. Mel and her fans of the Twilight Zone, some of them are simply attracted by the hot topic for a few days.

The time soon came for the show to air, and with Stephanie. Mel's appearance, everyone's attention was drawn to the past.

On the TV screen, in the bright studio, Stephanie. Mel and Oprah. Winfrey sat in a single-seater sofa chair facing the audience, and the two chatted happily about "Lunar Eclipse" and about creation.

After asking the last question, Oprah. Winfrey asked, "Stephanie, of all the Twilight novels you've completed so far, which one do you personally like the most, and which character do you like the most?" ”

"Oh, you're asking me." Stephanie. Mel smiled, as did many viewers in front of the TV: "The answer is what I'm writing, and what I'm writing is always the one I'm most happy with, but 'Twilight' has a particularly unique place in my mind because it's the first novel I've written, and the first time is always so unique and so memorable." As for the role I am most satisfied with, of course, it is Bella, of course, I also like Edward and Jacob, but maybe it is the relationship as a woman, when I wrote Bella, because I had to study and experience her character, so I felt a lot in my heart. ”

"Oh, a witty answer." Many spectators had a smile on their faces, Oprah. Winfrey smiled: "What is being written is always the most satisfying, no wonder Stephanie, your novel will be liked by more and more people, and I believe that the fourth part of the series can bring us more exciting, okay, it's time to invite another guest on stage next, okay, okay, I just want to say this, unless you are Ultra, otherwise you must know who he is"

"Yes, he is Kung Fu Lin." Oprah. Winfrey excitedly stood up and shouted, pointing her hand to the backstage leading to the studio, "Now, he's here." ”

Amid the warm applause and cheers, Lin Yuquan walked out with a charming smile on his face, waving to the audience as he walked, and his actions also turned the entire studio into a sea of cheers and screams.

"Oh, the boss's popularity is really bursting, I've watched a lot of "Oprah Talk Show", and there are few guests who can appear like this?" Pinnacle Entertainment's Leisure Interior, Chris. Anderson said in amazement, at this time, there were a lot of people gathered here, because Lin Yuquan and Stephanie . Mel's novels have a direct and far-reaching impact on the release of their films next year, so everyone is paying more attention to them.

"Of course, at the age of the boss, is there anyone in the entertainment industry in the United States who is better than him? Handsome, handsome, talented, and unmatched in kung fu, it's no wonder that bosses are loved by young people. ”

"Indeed, seeing that the boss is so popular, the sales of "Wild Story" must be very high, and with the first listing of this novel, when the movie is released next year, it will save a lot of trouble in distribution and publicity." Chris. Anderson nodded.

"Yes, it's very popular. Not only can you achieve better publicity results with less cost. It can also take the initiative when negotiating with overseas distributors and theaters. Get better conditions. ”

Kristen, who has finished filming and returned home. Stewart sat on the couch with her knees crossed, staring at the TV screen with her eyes blurred, and her mother sitting beside her.

Although she is not a loyal viewer of "Oprah Talk Show", she is not a big fan of "Oprah Talk Show". Mel participated in the recording relationship, and she took the initiative to watch the show with her mother, unlike her, her mother has been a loyal viewer of "Oprah Talk Show" for more than a decade. It is often said that she can become a director and screenwriter is deeply influenced by Oprah. Winfrey's encouragement.

"Oh, this young man is really incredible, Christine, you worked with him on "Hurricane Rescue", is he easy to get along with?" Mother Julis. Mann looked at Lin Yuquan's appearance on the screen, turned his head and asked.

"It's very easy to get along with, he doesn't have the shelf of a big director or the arrogance and arrogance of many stars, which makes it easy for people to get close to." Kristen. Stewart said when he heard this, and also looked at Lin Yuquan on the screen, when he talked about Lin Yuquan. With a sweet smile on his face.

"Oh, that's not the case. If someone else had achieved what he had achieved now, he would have felt that he was amazing. "Julis. Men praises that he has seen many young celebrities who have become famous at a young age because of their profession, and they have become famous in one piece, one song after another, and then quickly lost, Macaulay. Kjinn, Britney. Spears is like this, but character determines fate, and good temperament determines how high their acting career can go, judging from the description of their daughter and Lin Yuquan's current development trend, this is almost a man destined to go to the top, and can only be looked up to by countless people.

But this is not enviable, but she also has her pride, looking at her daughter who is staring at the TV screen without blinking, Julis. Mann has a satisfied smile on his face, and although his daughter is a little paranoid at times, her serious attitude towards acting can take her far in the future.

TV screen, Oprah. Winfrey and Lin Yuquan began to talk about creation.

"So fast?" Oprah. Winfrey had a look of obvious surprise on her face.

Lin Yuquan, who was sitting on the sofa chair, smiled and said: "It's not fast, I started preparing at the end of last year, and the original plan was to shoot this "Wild Story" first, but when I found Weta Digital, the other party told me that it would take at least a year to produce special effects, so I temporarily adapted the shooting plan, and re-determined the filming of the previously completed "Hurricane Rescue" while Weta Digital was working on special effects. ”

"Ahh In front of the TV screen, many viewers are like Oprah in the studio. Winfrey let out the same exclamations of surprise as the audience, with a mixture of shock, disbelief and stunned expressions on her face.

"Sure enough, it's not that simple, Lin really went to New Zealand to find Weta Digital to cooperate." New York Times special correspondent Dante Brown, who was resting at home today. Curry slapped his thigh suddenly, and then a thick remorse flashed on his face, why didn't he insist on seeing it at the time, if he could dig out this exciting fact and report it exclusively, he would definitely gain huge attention.

"The filming of "Hurricane Rescue" turned out to be a temporary decision, which is too fast, even if Lin is the boss of Summit Entertainment, but such courage is really amazing, and it is a big deal as soon as he makes a move." Another film company producer who watched the show lamented.

"It's really exciting, writing the movie that is going to be shot into a novel, no matter how you look at this movie, it's extraordinary, hey, when the novel is on the market, I'll buy it first and see what kind of movie Lin's movie is."

"Great, which means we will be able to see two of Lin's films soon."

Time passed quickly, and a 41-minute episode of "Oprah Talk Show" quickly came to an end, according to ratings statistics, the ratings of this episode of the program reached 18.9 million viewers, making it the best rating of "Oprah Talk Show" in recent years, and it is also the highest rating of interviews with writers over the years.

As the most popular talk show in the United States, "Oprah Talk Show" currently broadcasts five episodes a week, and the weekly viewership is about 35 million, which means that the average viewership of each episode is 7 million, and the number of viewers can reach 17.9 million, which is enough to prove that today's Lin Yuquan and Stephanie. How Mel got into the spotlight.

And after the show aired, against Lin Yuquan and Stephanie. Mel's remarks on the show. It immediately sparked a lot of media coverage. It's really a lot of highlights in this issue. Whether it is Lin Yuquan's self-destructed "Wild Story" movie preparation or the world, content structure and creative ideas of "Wild Wild", it is full of highlights.

With the help of the effect of the show and the public opinion offensive triggered by the media, Lin Yuquan and Stephanie immediately made Lin Yuquan and Stephanie. Mel's upcoming book has become the hottest topic in the United States, not only for fans of Lin Yuquan and Stephanie. Mel's book fans also attracted a large number of people who were not interested in it to look forward to their new book.

Lin Yuquan began the preparation of "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race", and in terms of the crew, he basically followed the configuration of "Hurricane Rescue", including assistant director Brody. Jenner, photographer Vary. Pfister, set designer Danti. The biggest change between Ferretti and the original lighting engineer, photography team, costume designer and others is in the soundtrack. Powell has been very happy to work with. But considering the musical style required for the film, he had to choose another person.

In terms of candidates, Lin Yuquan has been considering it for a long time. Horner and Howard. After weighing up between Shaw, he finally chose Howard. Shaw, not to say James. Horner is not good, he likes his soundtrack in "Titanic" very much, and his theme song "My Heart is Eternal" can be called a classic among the classics, and it is also the most well-known film soundtrack song in the world, and the movie soundtrack has also achieved extremely brilliant results after its release. With 27 million copies sold, it is the best-selling instrumental soundtrack in history.

If you talk about influence and popularity alone, James. Horner is far away in Howard. Shaw above. However, choosing a film soundtrack is not based on fame, the key is whether it is suitable or not. Shaw is undoubtedly the more suitable person.

In the minds of most music fans, Howard. Shaw used to be a master of depicting gloomy landscapes and perverted situations, "Murder on Tape", "Buckles", "Dead Twins", "The Silence of the Lambs", "Seven Deadly Sins", "Deadly Game", "Gangs of New York" A thrilling movie soundtrack came from his subordinates, and also made people form a mindset for him, until the New Zealand fat man "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy came out, making him famous overnight, winning the first Oscar nomination in his life, and even more miraculously from John. Williams (Artificial Intelligence, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone) and James. Horner (A Beautiful Mind) won the crown.

Because of his love for the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, Lin Yuquan is very aware of the other party's soundtrack attainments, and thinks that when he watched the movie, he was amazed by the soundtrack in it, whether it is the combination of symphony and opera techniques in "The Lord of the Rings 1", the music carefully brewed by using the singing voices of the elves and ghosts in ancient times, or the stormy confrontation momentum in "The Lord of the Rings 2", or the sensational and regrettable grandeur unveiled with the sacred and magnificent chorus in "The Lord of the Rings 3", which is the most amazing among all the magic and fantasy films.

Selected Howard. After Xiao, Lin Yuquan sent an invitation to the other party. Shaw doesn't have many works this year, the first half of the year has basically been completed, and there is only one "Roosevelt" that will be released next year at hand. Anderson called, and after chatting with Lin Yuquan again, he took over the work of soundtrack for "Wild Story: Rise of the Ape Race" very happily.

Get Howard. After Xiao, Lin Yuquan began the selection of actors again, unlike other movies, in "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Clan", there is no need for any actors to show their faces, it is completely using motion capture technology, and the image of beasts made of special effects appears on the screen, so there is no need to recruit any big-name actors, only need to work a few important roles, and seek actors with excellent performance standards and experience in motion capture shooting, while the requirements for a large number of other role actors are not high.

With the passage of August 13-August 19, the weekly box office rankings of various countries also have new owners, and in the mainland, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", which lost the first week, won the top position at the box office without any suspense, and the second-week box office of 62 million is second only to "Transformers" 80 million among all the movies released this year, higher than the original 35 million and 34 million of "Spider-Man 3" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World". With a cumulative box office of 103 million in two weeks, it also became the fourth film to break 100 million at the box office this year, and with the good box office trend of the second week, it slightly surpassed the previous momentum of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World".

Although it was snatched from the top spot by "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix". However, this week's second-place "Crazy Racing" is definitely not a loser. This week, "Crazy Racing" collected another 31.2 million at the box office. Compared with last week, it only fell by 33%, which is really excellent, and the box office of 77.9 million in two weeks also broke the best box office record for Ning Hao's works, and his previous highest box office record was "Love Call Transfer" released last year, and the final box office was 76.4 million.

At the same time, according to such a box office trend, as everyone expected after the box office of the premiere of "Crazy Racing", it will only be a matter of time for Ning Hao to break 100 million at the box office. At that time, he will become the sixth director to do this after Zhang Yimou, Yu Benzheng, Lin Yuquan, Chen Kaige, and Feng Bigang.

The third to fifth are "Fuse" 4.3 million, "The Unspeakable Secret" 4.2 million, "Transformers" 3.7 million, "Transformers" released in the sixth week at this time has a cumulative box office of 274 million, and then surpasses Lin Yuquan's "Red Cliff" 267 million, leaving only Zhang Yi's "The City Full of Golden Armor" 291 million, Lin Yuquan's "Painted Skin" 313 million, and James. Cameron's "Titanic" 360 million three movies are waiting for it to catch up.

However, judging from the current situation, the only hope for "Transformers" to catch up with is "The City Full of Golden Armor", but the difference in box office is 17 million, and the box office potential is almost exhausted, and the possibility is not very likely.

Cheng Long's "Rush Hour 3" also failed to retain its top spot at the North American box office. It's just a thrilling box office of $21.83 million, ahead of "Spy 3" with $19.1 million, occupying the second place at the box office on the weekend of August 17-August 19.

As for the champion, Judd, the director of "Forty Old Virgin" and "One Night Belly". Apatou is a comedy box office bomb this summer after "One Night Belly". The film received unanimous praise among film critics, proving once again that Judd. Apato's extraordinarily talented work swept 31.2 million over the three days of the weekend with an average of about $10,500 per theater in 2,948 theaters.

With the exception of the above, all other films grossed less than $10 million, with "The Simpsons" topping up at $6.67 million, and the fifth place at the box office this week was the newly released "Fatal Visit," which took the spot with $6 million.

But don't think that this result is very good, adapted from the classic novel "Human Intruder", by the highest-paid actress in Hollywood today, Nicole . Kidman and the new 007 Daniel. Starring Craig, a whopping $80 million production fee, and a massive release in 3,120 theaters, well, when these factors come together, you can see how dismal the $6 million box office is.

At the same time, Nicole, who had hoped that the film would wash away the box office poison notoriety. Kidman had to continue to bear this notoriety, and after "Moulin Rouge", "Island Cry", "Cold Mountain", and "All the Time", Nicole Kid. In one fell swoop, Deman became the highest-paid actress in Hollywood today, with a salary of more than $15 million. Since 2004, she has had 7 consecutive films that ended in losses, and according to the shape of "Fatal Visit", she may be about to occupy this position for the third time after being rated as the least cost-effective Hollywood actress for two consecutive years.

The sixth to tenth places were "Stardust" at $5.24 million, "Hairspray" at $4.27 million, "Superdog" at $3.61 million, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" at $3.54 million, and "My Grand Gay Wedding" at $3.5 million.

Time has gone through August 20-August 26 again, when "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", "Crazy Racing" and the newly released "Heaven's Mouth" occupied the top three of the mainland weekly box office list with 20 million, 17.74 million and 12.1 million respectively, and "Super Bad", "Spy 3" and "Rush Hour 3" occupied the top three of the North American weekend box office list with 18 million US dollars, 12.36 million US dollars and 12.25 million US dollars respectively, the time finally came to August 28.

On this day, "Wild Stories: Rise of the Apes" and "Lunar Eclipse" were released, and countless people across the United States flocked to bookstores, to Amazon.com, to a book store in downtown Los Angeles that gathered dozens of journalists, and was the largest book store in Los Angeles.
