James finally got his wish to win the rights to the first season of "Friends", and he offered to add $20,000 to get the right of first refusal for the sequel to "Friends", but Lin Mu refused the request. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Lin Mu concluded that this TV series has become popular in the United States in a very short period of time, and the price of the sequel will also rise at that time, and then it will depend on the sincerity of Warner's side to decide whether to renew the contract.

For Lin Mu's decision, Kueller unexpectedly expressed his support. This made Lin Mu feel very pleased, and Kuller's business talent and vision did not disappoint him. According to the previous contract, Lin Mu paid Kuhler $25,000, and he exchanged the rest of the money for Microsoft stock.

After the New Year, both Lin Mu and Kuler became busy. The commission that Lin Mu paid to Culler temporarily relieved his financial strain, so he didn't stick to Lin Mu for a treat during this time. However, Kuhler encountered a lot of difficulties in his studies, and the teachers of several courses kindly reminded him that if he did not work hard, he would probably not be able to complete the credits of that course, which made him have to spend a lot of time in the library reading books.

And Lin Mu's situation is much better, in the eyes of many professors, he is a good student with excellent character and learning, after writing "Friends", he did not create other scripts, but put all his energy into his studies, he does not think that he can run rampant in this era with the memory of his past life, on the contrary, with the deepening of learning, he feels more and more important knowledge. Being able to receive an education in such an excellent institution, he naturally knows to cherish this precious time of study.

In the end, Lin Mu passed all the exams with full honors, for which he was also commended by the school. Kuller was in a bad situation, and although he worked hard before the exam, he did not do well in all subjects and barely passed the exam. He decided to stay in school during the holidays, in fact, he had already found a job outside of school, and he would spend the entire winter vacation part-time. Lin Mu chose to go home, firstly, this is what his parents meant, because after a while it will be the traditional Chinese New Year, and his parents want him to go home for the New Year; Second, the scholarship he received this time was enough for him to pay for the next semester's tuition, and he didn't have to work as hard as Cooler.

After spending a warm and pleasant Spring Festival with his parents, Lin Mu was greeted by Martin. Brest sent an invitation to attend the premiere of the film "Smell a Woman" in New York, along with Lin Mu's parents.

"What, you wrote a screenplay, and it was made into a movie?" Looking at his parents' expressions of disbelief, Lin Mu didn't know how to explain it to them, it wasn't that he deliberately wanted to hide it, it was that this matter was too shocking, and he was afraid that his parents would find it difficult to accept it for a while.

"The last time we went on vacation to Hawaii, you actually stayed at home to write the script, right?" Lin Mu's father, Lin Minda, is a senior engineer in a multinational company, "You never told us that you like the profession of screenwriter? ”

"yes, Achen, you didn't like writing much before?" Lin Mu's mother, Liu Suyun, was also a little confused.

"I've always liked it before, but I'm afraid of delaying my studies, so I haven't told you!" Lin Mu lied against his will.

"As long as you finish college seriously, how you choose is your own business, and neither your mother nor I will stop you from doing what you like!" Lin Minda was very open-minded in this matter, and her mother Liu Suyun originally wanted to say a few words, but thinking about her husband's words also made sense, after all, they couldn't force their son to do things he didn't like. The parents' problems were easily resolved, and the family boarded a flight to New York.

Before the screening began, Lin Mu had been sitting in the front row of the venue with his parents, and several leading actors of the film came to the scene, but some reporters noticed the unfamiliar Chinese face that appeared in the venue, but the continuous flash only left the camera to a few main creative staff on the stage, until the director Martin. Brest invited Lin Mu to sit on stage with the cast and crew, and everyone noticed the slightly shy young Chinese. And when everyone learned that this young man was the screenwriter of the film, more camera lenses were staring at Lin Mu.

"It was amazing, it was just the perfect show!" Director Martin. Brest commented on Al. "I can't think of anyone else who can put on such a perfect performance!" And for the 22-year-old Chris. O'Donnell, Brest's evaluation is not low, "This young man's talent is still good, and he is not nervous at all when playing against a big name like Pacino, but he has no experience, and he needs me to teach him little by little, but fortunately he learns quickly!" ”

The on-site interaction lasted for more than half an hour, and Lin Mu did not say a word. Most of the reporters left their problems to the director and a few actors. Only at the end of the interaction, a reporter got up and asked the actor of the male lead, Al. When Pacino felt about starring in this film, he mentioned the plot setting of the film, "When I received this script, I was immediately fascinated by the character of Franconia, and when I learned that the author of this script was not yet 17 years old, I was deeply shocked, and I just want to tell my dear screenwriter Mr. Lin, this is the best character I have ever seen!" He got up and gave Lin Mu a warm hug.

When the microphone was handed to Lin Mu, he was still nervous, "Thank you. Mr. Pacino's praise for the script, this is my first attempt at creating a character in a film, and I am honored to be recognized by Mr. Syno, and I would also like to thank the director, Martin. Mr. Brest, it was he who gave me such an opportunity, and I hope that this film will not disappoint him, nor will it disappoint all those who love cinema! His speech won a round of warm applause from the audience, and he saw his father sitting in the front row whispering to comfort his excited mother, and he suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment in his heart.

An unexpected encounter, a sensual tango, a wanton drag race, and a hearty speech provide a complete picture of the entire process of life from destruction to rebirth for all the audience present. When Lieutenant Colonel Franconian won a not guilty verdict for Charlie with his eloquent eloquence, it was not only all the students of Bader Middle School in the film who applauded, but the applause that almost resounded in the audience already showed the audience's approval of the film.

After the screening, Lin Mu was interviewed by a reporter from the Chicago Sun, "Lieutenant Colonel Franconian is a competitive man, and having a boy who is a little shy and not very open to face him will definitely produce wonderful chemistry." Franconia wants to end his life, but he meets Charlie, a middle school student who has just begun his life, which will undoubtedly awaken his desire for life and life. That's why I put a perspective on a high school student based on the original book. ”

"I heard that you wrote this script after graduating from high school, did you get the influence of your high school life in the process of writing?"

"Of course, some of the inspiration came from my high school life, but I was lucky enough to meet a reasonable principal, and none of my classmates had ever been so bold as to challenge the principal's authority!" Lin Mu expressed some regret.

"Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Woman" has achieved a good box office in a good reception, and it has also caused great social repercussions. The New York Times commented that "the entire film is actually Al. Pacino's solo performance, in which he plays a blind man, sees much more through his eyes than those who are sighted! A Chicago Sun-Times reviewer praised the film's touching plot, "It's a story between two generations, and in my opinion, the story it tells about the older generation is especially moving, because I'm an old man myself!" As the screenwriter of the film, Lin Mu has also been praised by the media, "This surprisingly young Chinese screenwriter reinterprets this classic film with his unique perspective!" The film ended up grossing $63 million at the box office, which was a significant figure in the early '90s in the United States.

During this period, James once approached Kuller, and while informing him of the progress of the preparation of the script, he also vaguely expressed his willingness to continue to buy the sequel to "Friends" at a high price, and Kuhler informed Lin Mu of the news on the phone again, and he was very excited on the phone, "That film is great, you know, there are already many companies interested in your script, and I already feel like a big-name agent!" ”

When Lin Mu returned to school, the film was still playing in the cinema, and many students in the school were talking about the film. And the screenwriter of the film is from this school, which makes everyone know Lin Mu. But it doesn't feel good to be famous overnight, at least that's what Lin Mu thinks, all his professors know him, and their interest in the film has been transformed into strict supervision of Lin Mu, which makes Lin Mu feel a lot of pressure.

And it's not just Lin Mu who is beautiful, as his agent, Cooler has also become a well-known figure in the school. He began to sweep away his previous shabby and depressed image, wearing a leather suit on him, which was quite the style of a successful person. Of course, the money to buy clothes was borrowed by him in charge of Lin Mu, and most of the commissions that Lin Mu gave him last time were sent back to his home, although he worked hard for two months during the holidays, he didn't even have the basic living expenses, and he began to urge Lin Mu to create new scripts when he was in urgent need of money.

On an early spring morning in Los Angeles, there was a refreshing coolness in the air outside the window, and Lin Mu woke up a little early today, so he decided to go to the campus to exercise. He knocked on Cooler's door, only to hear an almost beastly howl, "It's not even seven o'clock yet, and it's still early before class!" It discouraged him from going to work out with Jokule, the damn lazy guy who had forgotten that it was the weekend.

There are many people who get up early to exercise on campus, and Lin Mu will meet one or two classmates who get up early and jog like him from time to time. While crossing a tree-lined path, he suddenly heard someone calling his name, "Good morning, Mr. Lin!" ”

He looked back, not far away on the lawn, a middle-aged man sitting on a lawnmower, waving to him enthusiastically, he stopped, this familiar scene suddenly gave him an inexplicable touch, he seemed to have seen this picture somewhere. "Good morning, sir!"

Seeing that Lin Mu stopped, the middle-aged man also stopped what he was doing and drove the lawnmower over, "I'm tempted to disturb your morning exercise, my name is Rick, I'm a school worker here, I've seen the film you wrote, to be honest, the role that Pacino played in it is handsome!" ”

"What's your favorite part of that movie?" Lin Mu asked with some curiosity.

"I don't know how you came up with the idea of depicting such a scene when Lieutenant Colonel Franconia invited Miss Donna to do a tango dance, it's a classic, and a lot of people I know are trying to exercise their sense of smell after watching that film, but unfortunately none of them have the same good nose as the lieutenant colonel!"

"You should remind them that the air quality has not been very good lately, beware of allergies!" Lin Mu made a kind joke.

"I think your reminder is necessary, but now I have to go to work!" Rick started the machine with some apologies and waved at the woods, "It's nice to see you today!" ”

A small talk with Rick passed the time, and on the way back to the apartment, Lin Mu's mind kept coming up with the image of Rick sitting on the lawnmower waving to him, and he always felt that he had seen it somewhere. Just when he was distressed about this, the sound of two people not far away greeting each other somehow drifted into his ears.

"Good morning, Gan!"

"Good morning, Jenny!"

"Wait, Gan!" Hearing this familiar name, Lin Mu suddenly remembered, and the image of a middle-aged man sitting on a lawnmower gradually became clear, but that person was not Rick, his name was Falis. Sweet.

The knock on the door woke Kueller from his sleep again, and he looked at the alarm clock on the bow of the ship, it was already a quarter past eight, and his first reaction was that it was too bad to be late for class. He hurriedly got dressed, grabbed a book and rushed out of the room, but what he saw was Lin Mu leisurely holding a cup of steaming coffee, looking at him with a look of astonishment.

"Hey, Kuller, it's the weekend, you don't want to go to class, do you?"

Kuhler turned his head to look at the wall calendar on the wall, and then he slapped his head, he was in a daze. And the culprit of all this is watching the excitement from the sidelines. He walked up to Lin Mu angrily and snatched the coffee from his hand, "This is the interest you woke me up twice today!" (To be continued.) )
