On the popularity in North America, no, even in the global popularity, Cheng Long and Chris. Tucker's partners naturally won't be Lin Yuquan and Stephanie. Mel's opponents, these two are world-renowned talented young directors, who set off another kung fu storm after Bruce Lee in North America, and are known as the most powerful action actors on the planet, and the other is currently the best-selling novel writer in the United States, and the two are absolutely popular in North America.

And "Rush Hour 3" is certainly very popular and has also won the weekend box office, but how can the news be as exciting as Stephanie. Mel's third "Lunar Eclipse" from "The Twilight Zone" and Lin Yuquan's first novel are on the horizon.

Four years ago, Stephanie. Mel was still an ordinary housewife, a mother of three children, and like J.K. Rowling in the past, it seemed as if she were destined to do so, and on a very ordinary night, she had a strange dream of a beautiful young girl and a handsome and charming young man sitting on a sunny, green grass grass and making love. The young man was a vampire, but they were already in love, and he was confiding in the girl to suppress his desire to suck her blood, telling her how painful it was for him.

Influenced by this dream, Stephanie. Mel decided to write about her, and it wasn't so easy for a housewife of a mother of three to write, but she did it, and she slept very little every day. Often holding the child in one hand. Typing on the keyboard with one hand. It took her more than a year to finish the first novel, Twilight, and then in the summer of 2005, Twilight hit the market, and in a matter of weeks, the novel about the forbidden love between a human girl and a vampire skyrocketed to No. 5 on the New York Times bestseller list, and then remained on the list for 56 weeks. It became the bestseller that people talked about the most of the year.

The New York Times Editor's Pick, Publishers Weekly's "Best Books of the Year", Amazon.com's "Best Books of the Last Decade", the American Library Association's "Top 10 Best Books for Teens" and "Top 10 Best Book Series" have been honored one after another, from an ordinary housewife to the best-selling novel of the year, Stephanie Brown. Mel is definitely the best interpreter of the American dream, which has made her very popular and an idol in the hearts of countless young people.

As a result, last year's second installment, "New Moon," of "Twilight," landed on the bestseller lists, and it topped the New York Times bestseller list for 31 weeks, once again becoming the best-selling novel of the year in North America.

The representative of the American Dream, whose influence is growing, is the third in a series of best-selling novels of the year. Coupled with the fact that the novel has been filmed into a movie by Lin Yuquan's Summit Entertainment, it is no wonder that media reporters and the public are so enthusiastic about chasing after it.

Not to mention after the novel began to be heavily invested in the filming. With the help of strong publicity and a series of extraordinary achievements in the past two years, the novel is said to have reached more than 30 countries in the past few months, and will soon start selling worldwide, in response to this situation, countless celebrities believe that "Twilight" will be a post-"Harry Potter era" magic masterpiece, become the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy", "Harry Potter series", "The Chronicles of Narnia" after the new international fantasy series representative, think of the horror sales and huge influence of these novels, how not to make people to Stephanie. Mel, looking forward to her "Twilight".

There is also a very important reason, the author of "The Lord of the Rings", John. Ronald. Riel. J.R. Tolkien, J.K. Rowling, author of Harry Potter, and C.S. Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia, are all British, and the United States is not without best-selling magical fantasy novels, such as George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, Christopher. Paulini's "Ilaron", that is, the "Legacy" trilogy, but these novels have not reached, or even far from the influence of "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings", as the world's largest power, but also the largest novel publishing country and book sales market, such a reality undoubtedly makes many Americans feel deeply unhappy, and they are eager to see a J. Rowling of their own.

Thus a rumor came out of Stephanie. Mel's "Lunar Eclipse" is about to be released, and all eyes are naturally focused on her.

As for Lin Yuquan, although he has never written a novel, he is just like Jk. Rowling, Stephanie. Mel, or any author of a novel, before publishing his debut novel, came over like this, if it was an ordinary person who published his debut novel, of course, he would not get any attention, but celebrities were not in the ranks, their own huge popularity made their every move attract the attention of the public, and Lin Yuquan was naturally one of the celebrities.

Generally speaking, celebrities take the biographical route or experience if they publish, but Lin Yuquan is not, his first published work turned out to be a novel, and it is not a youth novel, or he seems to be the best martial arts novel, but a magic novel, but no one doubts anything, because everyone knows how versatile that young guy is, how incredible, director, actor, screenwriter, costume designer, martial arts instructor, business operator, his omnipotence can make countless people ashamed, Lin Yuquan has never written a novel, but because of the series of miracles he has created in the past three years, people are more looking forward to seeing what kind of novel he writes.

The front-page headline in the Los Angeles Times read: "'Savage', you read that right, this is Lin's first novel." ”

Unlike the media and the public's attention to the two, Lin Yuquan's fans and Stephanie. Mel's fans were completely excited, "Oh, Lin actually wrote a novel, how incredible, and how exciting!" "Lin's novel, I bet, is a wonderful novel. It seems that it came to market earlier. In that case. I'll be able to see it. "After waiting for a year, "Lunar Eclipse" is finally going to be released, wow! ”、“

My Isa. Bella, Edward, and hopefully they will get a happy outcome in "Eclipse of the Moon". ”

Under the huge attention, Lin Yuquan is of course busy, he and Stephanie. Mel soon flew to Chicago, where they would be involved in the recording of "The Oprah Talk Show."

It's incredible, though. But this is indeed the first time that Lin Yuquan, who is popular in the United States, participated in the recording of "Oprah Talk Show", and when the previous movies were released, either the focus of publicity was not in the United States, or the publicity schedule was too busy and there was no time.

Although he has not participated in it, Lin Yuquan has long been thunderous about this talk show, "Oprah talk show", the most successful talk show in the world, in the past 21 years. The show airs in more than 160 countries and has been the top talk show in the United States for many years. The ratings of each episode are as high as more than 30 million.

Compared with the success of the show, what amazed Lin Yuquan more was the host of the show, Oprah. Winfrey's legendary life experience, yes, is a legend, born to an unwed mother, raped by her cousin at the age of 9, ran away from home at the age of 13, took drugs, had an abortion, almost went to a nursery, gave birth to a baby girl who died soon after her life at the age of 14, with a mediocre appearance, dark complexion, poor figure, and a big grin when she laughed, not to mention any elegance, this is Oprah in her early years. Winfrey, it's hard to imagine that she would become the current queen of media.

But a miracle happened, and after coming to Nashville, Tennessee, and living with her father, with the help of his father, her life path began again, Oprah. Winfrey is also rewriting her own history through her own efforts, rewriting the history of black Americans, especially black women, at the age of 16, she was elected the first "Miss Black Tennessee", at the age of 17, she won a scholarship to study at Tennessee State University, at the age of 22, she graduated from college and went to Baltimore, and on Baltimore WJZ TV, she hosted the "People Are Talking" talk show at the age of 23, and the ratings soared, surpassing the talk show celebrity Phil at the time of the year. Donna's program.

At the age of 30, it took only a month to transform "Chicago Morning" from a third-rate talk show to a famous Phil. Donna's talk show went head-to-head, and three months later, the show surpassed Phil. When Na became the number one gold medal program in the ratings, at the age of 31, "Chicago Morning" was renamed "Oprah. Winfrey talk show", at the age of 32, he founded the Harper's production company, won the ownership of the show, and was responsible for the production of the show. Winfrey and the myth of "Oprah Talk Show" were born, she became the most successful black woman in the United States, occupied the top positions in the Hollywood power list and the Forbes celebrity list for many years, and also became one of the richest entertainment celebrities, with a net worth of billions of dollars. Spielberg and George Lucas are few people who can compare with her.

And Stephanie, who participated in the recording of the show with Lin Yuquan. Mel is also the first time to come, both of them seem to be interested, because this recording, they do not need to shoot specially, the images needed in the show are ready-made edits, so the two arrived in Chicago that day, and then after a brief lunch, and the escort went directly to the recording site of "Oprah Talk Show".

As a media empire with an annual revenue of only one billion US dollars, Harper's Entertainment Group, which is responsible for the production of "Oprah's Talk Show", not only has its own huge office space, but also has its own studio. Winfrey spent $20 million to buy Harper's Productions in 1988, with an area of 100,000 square feet, which is also a talk show, which is much more magnificent than the studio Lin Yuquan saw when he first recorded "A Date with Luyu", but in the end, it has been used for many years, and although it has been continuously renovated and maintained, it is still difficult to compare with the studios of many TV stations in newly renovated buildings.

Of course, the nature of commercial companies and TV stations is different, and as a self-made program, it is already very good that "Oprah Talk Show" can have such recording conditions.

The group entered the waiting room under the leadership of the corresponding staff, and like most programs, "Oprah Talk Show" also has its own makeup team. Mel chats while gathering information about Oprah from the makeup artist's mouth. Winfrey's message.

After a banging knock, a man pushed open the door to the departure room and walked in, looking through the mirror in front of him. Lin Yuquan clearly saw the appearance of the person who came. Exactly Oprah. Winfrey. At this time, the makeup artist temporarily stopped applying makeup, and all the people in the program production zuò group knew that Oprah. Winfrey has a habit of coming to the waiting room to say hello to the recording guests before the show is recorded, whether they are celebrities or just ordinary people.

"Hi Lin, Stephanie. It's a pleasure to meet you and welcome you to visit. "Oprah. Winfrey had a warm smile on her face, as if she were meeting old friends.

"Hello, Oprah, I've been looking forward to seeing you like this for a long time, and now I've finally got my wish." Face Oprah. Winfrey affectionately called Lin Yuquan smiled and shook hands with the other party, and at the same time looked at the other party carefully, thick black curly hair, thick lips, dark skin, slightly strong or bloated figure only looked inconspicuous from the outside, and it was not like the imaginary top of the Forbes celebrity list. The queen of the media conglomerate, with an annual revenue of one billion dollars, should be on top of it, and the only thing she should be in front of is to stand in front of her. In order to feel her unique temperament, gentle and kind smile, sincere eyes, and comfortable body language, just like familiar friends around us.

However, Lin Yuquan was not surprised by this, because he had seen too many celebrities, and indeed some people were particularly arrogant, but that was only a small part, and those people either had just reached a certain height, so their mentality would swell for a while, or they were people with bad personalities, and they were destined not to have much success in the future.

"Hello Oprah, it's a pleasure to meet you, I've always been a loyal TV viewer of Oprah's talk show, and it's an honor to be on this show." Stephanie. Mel laughed.

Oprah. Winfrey has also been looking at the two quietly, especially Lin Yuquan, compared to Stephanie. Mel, she is more interested in Lin Yuquan, of course, it was like thunder earlier, seeing Lin Yuquan's confident and calm demeanor, she secretly praised in her heart, sure enough, there is no vanity under the fame, she has seen too many popular stars, even superstars, at Lin Yuquan's age, there are very few people who can do this.

"Thank you, I am very happy every time I hear the guests say this, which shows that we are still doing a good job." Oprah. Winfrey smiled: "Actually, I'm really honored, I wanted the two of you to come to the show to chat a long time ago, but I haven't been able to make the trip, and now you're finally here." ”

Lin Yuquan pulled up a smile, he did receive an invitation to "Oprah Talk Show", but it was not during the promotion of the movie, I remember that he was filming at that time, and he really couldn't spare time.

"Heh, I'm sorry last time, I was filming "Painted Skin" at the time, so there was no way to leave the crew here."

"I'm not sorry, it's just a little regretful, but it's not too late today, and I have a lot of questions I want to ask when I'm recording, I hope you don't mind." Oprah. Winfrey smiled brightly.

"No, one episode is only about forty minutes long, and there's Stephanie. Mel is here, I don't think Oprah you can ask me a few questions. Lin Yuquan's eyes were full of smiles.

"Ha, Lin, are you reminding me that I should split you and Stephanie into two episodes?"

Oprah. Winfrey teased easily, and with her words, everyone in the waiting room laughed out loud except for Lin Yuquan.

Oprah. Winfrey didn't stay in the waiting room for too long, and after chatting for a while, she probably told Lin Yuquan, Stephanie, and Mel about the recording process, and then left the waiting room. Winfrey believes that the best way to communicate with others is to get to know them and listen to their stories, and her innate insight makes her like a "roundworm" lurking in the human body, always capturing the most engaging points of conversation and asking very targeted questions.

Time passed quickly, and after putting on makeup, Lin Yuquan and Stephanie. Mel came to the backstage of the recording site, the recording of "Oprah Talk Show" is more flexible, most of the time the first half of the story explores a social issue, and the second half invites a star to do an interview, but today's recording is not, today belongs to Lin Yuquan and Stephanie. Mel's special session for the two, wait for Stephanie. Mel will play first, and Oprah. Winfrey talks about "Twilight" and "Lunar Eclipse" about a third of the time. And then he appeared.

It didn't make the two of them wait long. Recording began quickly. In Stephanie. After Mel appeared, only Lin Yuquan and a staff member of the zuò group were left in the background, and time passed minute by minute.

In the spacious and bright studio, hundreds of young male and female audience members looked at the stage, which was not very large, and there were three chairs, two of which were already occupied. Winfrey and Stephanie. Mel spoke eloquently, and the scene rang out with enthusiastic cheers and applause from time to time.

"Okay. Now it's time to invite another guest to the stage. "Oprah. Winfrey had a faint smile on her face, and in the cheers of the audience, she opened her hand and said in a calm and powerful voice: "Okay, I just want to say this, unless you are Ultra, otherwise you must know who he is, he is the coolest person in the world today, but he is not only kung fu, director, screenwriter, actor, costume designer." He seems to be proficient in everything, and he defines the word omnipotence to us. And now that he's extended his omnipotence to another realm, let's see how he came to love fiction. ”

In Oprah. After Winfrey's words fell, the big screen behind her immediately began to play images, along with the images, and Oprah. Winfrey's narrated voice: "He was a child who grew up in a family of teachers, and when he was 20 years old, he suddenly made a bold decision to take a break from the normal university and enter the directing training course held by the Kyoto Film Academy, the best film school in China, and 8 months later, he raised funds to direct, write, and act in his first film, and then a miracle happened."

In the video, "Huo Yuanjia" set off a kung fu boom around the world, swept the box office charts, won the global box office of nearly 200 million US dollars with a production cost of 48 million, and the boxing video on the newly launched Youtobe website quickly became popular throughout North America, and the shocking visual effects of "Red Cliff" suffocated countless people, he won the best foreign language film at the Golden Globe Awards, and stood on Oss to receive the best costume design award, and made a so-called unprofessional speech

"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." ”

"Oh." The scene immediately resounded with warm applause and cheers, no way, Lin Yuquan's cool kung fu, handsome appearance, and a series of incredible brilliant achievements made him win the extreme popularity among young people in the United States.

In the applause and cheers, Lin Yuquan walked out of the passage with a smile, and in the process of walking, he waved his hand to the audience, and his actions immediately received a more enthusiastic response from the audience, coming to the stage and Oprah. Winfrey hugged him after he was at Stephanie. He sat down in the chair next to Mel.

After Lin Yuquan sat down, the enthusiastic voice continued. Winfrey pressed down with her hands and signaled everyone to be quiet, but the excited cries still couldn't be stopped, she glanced at Lin Yuquan, and then smiled at the audience and said, "Okay, do you want to do this for 1 hour?" Let me speak first, I promise, and when the recording is over, let him perform for a while, how about it? ”

"Oh." After a louder cheer, the scene finally fell silent.

"Okay, welcome Lin, you're really popular with young people! Is it like this everywhere? "Oprah. Winfrey said as she sat down.

"Nope." Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

"Oh, I don't think so, Denzel the other day. Washington didn't come like that. "Oprah. Winfrey shook her head and laughed.

"The audience was different then, wasn't it?" Lin Yuquan said with a bright smile.

For Lin Yuquan's witty answer, Oprah. Winfrey smiled heartily: "Ok, Lin, your film achievements We know that three films have grossed more than $1 billion worldwide, and among young directors, there is no one better than you in this regard, and even all directors at your age can't do better than you, but what made you start writing novels?" You know, the whole country is going crazy about it right now. ”

"Actually, I've been very fond of literature since I was a child, and I've written a lot of them before, but it's all short stories and novels, and this is the first time." Lin Yuquan said calmly.

"Oh, it turns out that I've had a hobby since I was a child." Oprah. Winfrey smiled and nodded, then added, "When was that, and what made you create your upcoming "Wild Tales"?" ”

"It was after the release of "Painted Skin" that I came up with the idea when I was thinking about the new movie, because the world of this movie is too large, and it is obviously impossible to describe it completely in a movie, so I thought why not write a novel at the same time as the film, so that everyone can better understand the magical story that happened on that wild continent!" Lin Yuquan didn't hesitate and said directly.

"So, Lin had the idea of making a movie, and then you thought about writing this novel, so when are you going to shoot this movie?" Oprah. Winfrey asked.

"In fact, the special effects and related preparations for this film have been underway for a long time, and I will start shooting at the beginning of next month?" Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

"So fast?" Oprah. The surprise on Winfrey's face was a completely real psychological reflection.

"It's not fast, I've been preparing since the end of last year, and I originally planned 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 make special effects, so I temporarily adjusted the shooting plan, and while Weta Digital was working on special effects, I redetermined to shoot the previously completed "Hurricane Rescue".

"Wow." Oprah. Winfrey exclaimed, and the audience was also exclaiming, what was the first movie that Lin Yuquan planned to shoot after entering Hollywood, but there was a lot of noise in the United States, after it was rumored that he went to Wellington, New Zealand, there was a lot of speculation that he was looking for Weta Digital to cooperate with a new movie, until Lin Yuquan announced the filming of "Hurricane Rescue", and the matter subsided, but there are still people who are confused about Lin Yuquan's trip to New Zealand, but they didn't expect it to be like this.

"I didn't expect there to be such a story in the middle, Lin, did you write all your novels by yourself?" Oprah. Winfrey quickly changed the subject, after all, it was about Lin Yuquan's creation of "Wild Story", not a movie.

"Heh, do you think I'm looking for someone to ghostwrite?" Lin Yuquan asked with a smile.

"Of course not, I asked for a friend who has doubts, you know, it's more common for celebrities to publish books and find someone to write them." Oprah. Winfrey smiled.

Lin Yuquan nodded, although ghostwriting is not an open secret, but just like Oprah. Winfrey said that celebrities and public figures often hire ghostwriters when publishing autobiographies or memoirs, or even bestsellers, due to a lack of time or writing skills to complete a book manuscript, and different from the more cover-up in China, ghostwriting is quite active in the Western publishing industry, and in the United States alone, dozens or hundreds of celebrities' works are completed by those ghost experts every year, according to the number jù, as many as 50% of the books on the New York Times bestseller list are knife catches, and other types of books and even all walks of life, There is a huge demand for ghost writers.

"Understand, of course, this can't be ghostwriting, in my plan, "Savage" should be like "The Lord of the Rings" and "A Song of Ice and Fire" with a huge structure of magical fantasy novels, such a novel, it is impossible for a ghostwriter to ghostwrite, because the ghostwriter simply can't have such a huge view of the world structure, otherwise, he doesn't need to ghostwrite for me, because if the ghostwriter has such ability, does he still need to ghostwrite for me incognito? He could have come out and write it himself. This point, after the launch of "Savage Story", after reading the novel "Savage Story", I believe everyone knows it. Lin Yuquan said with a smile

After recording "Oprah Talk Show", Lin Yuquan invited Oprah. Winfrey had dinner and then flew back to Los Angeles that night, just as the storm of Lin Yuquan and "Wild Stories" began.
