"Hooray!" The crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lin Mu rushed into the crowd excitedly and hugged everyone present. "Rick, I didn't expect you to come!" Lin Mu met his first acquaintance.

I'm not the only one here today, remember the club I mentioned to you? All the people in the club are here today, right, guys! ”

"That's right!" Everyone behind Rick said loudly in unison.

"I think the first thing you want to thank today is Rick, he knows you're in trouble, and it's he who organized all the members of the club to come here to show solidarity with you, and he also contacted some other people who also like your work and mobilized them to come here!" Kuhler explained to Lin Mu from the side.

"Thank you, Rick!" Lin Mu hugged Rick tightly.

", I'm sorry I said so many things that made you sad last time, but then we all figured it out, and everyone still likes your work as always, and I want to tell you that "Forrest Gump" is very well written."

"Rick, I want to join your club, I wonder if you're willing to accept me?" Lin Mu made such a request to Rick very sincerely.

"Then I'll have to ask the club members behind me if they agree?" Rick turned, "Do you agree to join our club?" ”

"Agreed!" The crowd cheered in unison again.

"Good morning,!" A crisp child's voice caught Lin Mu's attention, "Are you Jenny?" Lin Mu remembered the shy little girl in his parents' garden in Chicago, and he leaned down and hugged Jenny, "Your dad is here too, right?" ”

"Mommy and dad are here! They're over there! Following Jenny's little hand, Lin Mu saw a couple standing not far away, and the curly-haired man on the left was Jenny's father.

"Dad said you were in trouble, so our family rushed over overnight!"

Lin Mu saw Jenny's parents smiling and waving to him, and the corners of his eyes began to moisten a little.

Lin Mu felt that hugs and greetings were not enough to express his gratitude to his supporters, "Kuler, I feel like we should have a big celebration here!" ”

"I've got this ready for you!" Kuhler pointed to the three large trucks parked not far away, "There are champagne, beer, cakes, and barbecue meats, please forgive me for arrogating myself, I have prepared a big party for everyone today in your name." ”

"So what are we waiting for!" The woods have opened all their doors, "From this day forward, the gates of 13 Kenwit Avenue are always open to you!" ”

Julia Roberts was woken up by the commotion outside the house, she saw Lin Mu and a large group of strangers hugging constantly, and then she saw the huge banner, but she still didn't understand what was going on. Then she saw that all the people had begun to unload some of the tables and food for the banquet from the wagon not far away. On the lawn outside the house, people set up barbecue racks, and all kinds of fruit bowls and pastries were constantly brought in. Looking at this posture, it seems to be preparing for a party.

"What's going on?" Lin Mu returned to the room at this time.

"They're all my friends, and they're the ones who helped me get away with those pesky journalists!" Lin Mu didn't have time to explain too much to Julia Roberts, "Everyone is waiting for us below, and today we are going to have a big party here!" ”

Julia Roberts is not a stupid woman, on the contrary, she is very smart a lot of the time. She had already guessed the whole thing from Lin Mu's excited expression. Lin Mu's supporters learned that they were besieged by a large number of reporters, so they came here to support their idols and drove them away!

Julia Roberts walked out of the room with Lin Mu, and her appearance pushed the atmosphere of the banquet to a climax. People gave her roses in their hands, and soon Julia Roberts was holding a large bouquet of bright red roses in her arms. She was very touched by this. Julia Roberts soon stepped into the role of hostess of the banquet, and her warmth and beauty conquered all those present, and in return she received sincere and enthusiastic wishes from the people.

The banquet lasted until the afternoon, and Julia Roberts, who was already exhausted, lay side by side on the lawn with Lin Mu after the banquet, "This is the best party I have ever attended!" ”

The solidarity of a large number of supporters temporarily eased the plight of Lin Mu and Julia Roberts in their besieged home, but the real trouble was yet to come. After Julia Roberts returned to New York, the scandal between the two became the focus of public attention again. Although Julia Roberts has repeatedly behaved ambiguously with Lin Mu in some public places, she has flatly denied her relationship with Lin Mu in front of the media. "He's a good screenwriter, and he's working hard to become a good producer, and I've always admired his talent, so we're very good friends!" Whenever a reporter asked her about Lin Mu, Julia Roberts used this sentence to prevaricate with the pre-negotiation with Lin Mu.

And Lin Mu himself did not accept interviews with reporters at all, and Kuhler became his spokesman. "Thank you for your concern for him, but now as a screenwriter and producer, he hopes that everyone's attention to him is because of his work and not because of his scandals, and what he asked me to convey to everyone is that his work belongs to everyone, but his private life belongs to him."

The media was skeptical of the two men's claims, as witnesses could prove that Julia Roberts had stayed at least two nights at Linmu's home at 13 Kenwhitt Avenue in Los Angeles, but both parties refused to admit it, leaving the media helpless and the public finding the matter very boring.

However, the scandal between the two has triggered people's thinking and discussion on whether celebrities should have privacy, and the Hollywood Artists Association launched a huge celebrity signature campaign, strongly calling on the society to respect the private lives of celebrities, and asking the federal government to enact a bill to protect the privacy of artists. At the same time, showbiz people in Los Angeles also launched a large-scale demonstration against the paparazzi, which caused great social repercussions. Many entertainment reporters are much more low-key at this time, for fear that people will label them as paparazzi.

Unfortunately, these activities did not achieve substantive results in the end, the proposal did not pass the House of Representatives, and only a few state governments, including California, reacted to the matter, but did not produce concrete results, and in the end the matter had to be closed.

The year quietly came to an end in these hustle and bustle.

On New Year's Day, when he went home for a reunion, his parents asked Lin Mu about his relationship with Julia Roberts, and Lin Mu told them very frankly that they were now in love, but fortunately, Lin's father and Lin's mother were not very old-fashioned people, and they had both been trained in the United States for so many years of free and open thinking, and they did not interfere too much in this matter.

Under the management of Lin Mu, the crew runs very efficiently, and Andrew Davis's current crew is very satisfied, which allows him to put more energy into figuring out the plot and studying shooting techniques, and the filming of the film is progressing very quickly. At the end of January, the filming and production of the film were all over. And the promotion of the film has been quietly launched since the New Year.

Like "Jurassic Park", Lin Mu personally produced the TV promo for "The Outlaw". But unlike "Jurassic Park", Lin Mu's promotional video this time focuses on people. This time he used a star face, Julia Roberts's glimpse, gorgeous; Harrison Ford's Adventure Escape, Thrilling; Tom Lee Jones's persistent pursuit, cold and wise. Interspersed with the film's hot and exciting stunt shots and some classic character dialogues, the whole promotional film is creating a tense atmosphere.

The main creator of the crew also launched a publicity offensive in the United States under the leadership of director Andrew Davis, and the crew kept participating in some interview programs, in order to increase the popularity of the film and create momentum for the release of the next film. And Lin Mu also came up with a way to draw lucky readers in the newspaper to give away movie tickets, this trick really worked, although only 1,000 movie tickets were given away in the United States, but the effect received was better than Lin Mu expected, whether people like this movie or not, at least now many Americans know that there is an action blockbuster called "The Outlaw" is about to be released.

Warner's top brass was pleased with the film's post-production promotion, and James once again raised the question of predicting the box office. "I've done everything I can, and the rest depends on whether God likes this movie!" Lin Mu explained to James in a very witty language the meaning of the Chinese proverb "planning is in man, and success is in heaven".

The premiere of the film "The Outlaw" was held in New York, and although he did not appear in any promotional events before, as the film's producer, he still took the plunge to attend the new film launch after the ceremony. Although the scandal between Lin Mu and Julia Roberts has gradually subsided, the two still try to avoid meeting in public. Although Lin Mu had sat as far away from Julia Roberts as possible, the reporters in the audience didn't ask a few questions before pulling the topic to the two of them.

"Miss Julia Roberts, as far as I know, you don't have many roles in this film, and you can choose a film in which you play the lead role at the same time. Is it because of Mr. Lin that you agreed to appear in this film? A reporter from an entertainment newspaper in New York was the first to stand up and attack.

Of course, this matter has a lot to do with Mr. Lin, because he is the producer of this film. But I agreed to play this role entirely because I wanted to try more different roles. This is also the advice that my brother and agent, Mr. Rick Roberts, has always given me. In Hollywood, I don't want to prove myself forever with just a beautiful face! Julia Roberts was clearly prepared for the question and easily shifted the conversation to herself.

"And what would you explain what happened at Staples Arena in Los Angeles?" The reporters in the audience were obviously not reconciled, and another reporter immediately stood up and asked.

"When I was a girl, Magic Johnson was always my idol. Mr. Lin often went to the Lakers games, and it was a pure coincidence that I met him at Staples Arena that day, and I believe that in that case, Mr. Lin just did what a gentleman should do! Julia Roberts threw the question at herself, leaving the reporters at a loss.

Seeing that it was impossible to make a breakthrough here with Julia Roberts, the reporter pointed the finger at Lin Mu again. "Mr. Lin, how did you meet Miss Julia-Roberts?"

"Mr. Reporter, I think you're asking this question very badly, everyone knows that Miss Julia Roberts and I met on the red carpet at last year's Oscars!" Lin Mu's answer was very polite.

"Mr. Lin, how did you come up with the idea to invite Miss Julia Roberts to star in this film?" Not to be outdone, another reporter stood up

"Because wherever Miss Julia Roberts appears, there will be flashing lights and endless questions from reporters; As long as there are men who have been in contact with Miss Julia Roberts, everyone can compose countless stories for them without any basis but for granted. The media and the public's affection for Miss Julia Roberts made me choose her in the end. ”

"Your appointment as a producer at Warners, can we interpret this move as a signal of your transition from writer to producer?" Finally, a reporter stopped talking about his affair with Julia Roberts.

"I have the privilege of being the producer of this film, and I have to thank Warners for their trust in me. But this is just my personal attempt at the future, and I will not give up the role of screenwriter, especially with the few works that I have yet to finish, and will definitely not disappoint those who love my work! ”

There were also reporters in the audience who wanted to ask him questions, and Lin Mu was worried that the entire new film conference would become a one-man show between him and Julia Roberts, so he made a gesture to the host, got up and left the press conference early under the pretext that he had something to do. As soon as he left, only Julia Roberts was left with the two major parties, and the reporters were disappointed to focus on the other creators of the film.

Harrison Ford and Tom Lee Jones' peak showdown with thrilling and twists and turns in the plot, "The Outlaw" achieved quite good box office results after its release, the film reached the second place in the North American box office charts in the first week of its release, and beat the previous week's champion "The Nightmare Before Christmas" to the top of the box office charts in the following week. After the film was launched in the European market, the audience responded well, and the subsequent promotion in Asia and Latin America was also very successful. In the end, the North American box office received 470 million US dollars, and the overseas market received 240 million US dollars, with a total box office of 710 million, which is comparable to "Forrest Gump".
