Just like Hollywood movies, it doesn't take much understanding for people to be able to accept it quickly. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info I have seen more and more young people in many cities in China like to drink coffee, perhaps this is an important reason why Hollywood films have been so successful around the world! ”

"Director Zhang is accusing Hollywood movies of lacking enough foundation!" Lin Mu said with a wry smile that he didn't expect that a topic of coffee and tea could make Zhang Yimou think of so many things.

"There is no accusation, the United States was originally a new country, and Hollywood is just expressing the most authentic thinking of this country!" Zhang Yimou still gave full affirmation to Hollywood movies.

"Does Director Zhang think that future Chinese films will be able to achieve the achievements of Hollywood films today?" Lin Mu asked.

"I think the Chinese language is constantly being transformed by Hollywood film culture, and the Chinese language has begun to lose its insistence, and maybe it will only become a vassal of Hollywood movies in the future!" Perhaps because he had just finished filming "Alive", Zhang Yimou looked a little pessimistic, and his future of Chinese films was also infected by this emotion.

"In fact, there are still a lot of things worth digging into Chinese films, and I am personally very optimistic about the future of Chinese films!" Lin Mu didn't know why Zhang Yimou had such an idea. "The success of Hollywood movies is not necessarily the success of American culture, I think it's more of a model success. In the future commercial society, the development of Chinese will inevitably adopt such a model, but the connotation shown can completely surpass that of Hollywood movies. As a Chinese/Chinese culture with 5,000 years of inheritance, in fact, the cultural expansion is far more than the accumulation of more than 200 years of culture in the United States. ”

"Mr. Lin really thinks so?" Zhang Yimou didn't expect that Lin Mu, as the most successful screenwriter in Hollywood, was more optimistic about Chinese/Chinese culture, of course, this may also have a lot to do with Lin Mu being a Chinese.

"This is just some of my personal superficial thoughts, the process of the development of Chinese/Chinese films will be very long, and the reform will also bring pains, but I believe that the future of Chinese/Chinese films, China's soft power in culture is irreplaceable by a new country like the United States!"

Lin Mu came to Zhang Yimou this time mainly to meet the great director of the later generations, and he didn't want to achieve any substantive results when they met, so the whole topic of the conversation between the two revolved around the movie, and they talked about some light topics. Lin Mu's conversation with him touched Zhang Yimou, who was in a state of confusion, so much so that whenever he recalled his first meeting with Lin Mu later, he would talk about such a sentence: "Although he (Lin Mu) appeared in front of me as a Hollywood screenwriter and producer, although he is a Chinese-American, he is full of confidence in Chinese/Chinese culture, and I see the future of Chinese films in this young man!" ”

Zhang Yimou's new film "Alive" is based on the Chinese/civil war and the political and political movements after the founding of the new China/country, and the life of the hero's wealth and nobility is the weft, reflecting the fate of a generation of Chinese/Chinese people, and using black humor to satirize and criticize the Chinese society. The film won the Grand Jury Prize and the Humanitarian Spirit at the Cannes Film Festival, and Ge Wei won the Cannes Best Actor crown. The guest who presented the award for the best actor on the scene was Lin Mu himself.

"Lin, it seems that every time you appear at the award ceremony in Cannes, you can bring good luck to the Chinese/Chinese people!" Lin Mu was also the guest of honor with the famous French movie star Juliette Binoche, who had considered Juliette Binoche as early as when Spielberg was preparing to shoot "Jurassic Park". At that time, Spielberg also consulted Lin Mu, but because she had already taken over Kielowski's "Blue", she finally refused Spielberg's invitation, which made Spielberg and Lin Mu feel very regretful. However, Kielowski's unique sense of life and Binoch's delicate and superb performance made the film "Blue" win the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival not long ago, and Binoche won the crown for Best Actress. This is also the reason why the organizers of Cannes invited her to present the award with Lin Mu.

"The Chinese/Chinese people were able to win awards at the Cannes Film Festival, not because of the good luck I brought, but because the Chinese/Chinese actors who can come here are very good!" Juliette Binoche's words had already revealed the winner of the Cannes Best Actor in advance, but Lin Mu corrected her statement in time. Among the beauties of the French film industry, Juliette Binoche is not the most beautiful or the most produced, but she is the French actress with the best acting skills, the most intelligent and the most internationally influenced, some people call her the French Meryl Streep. Lin Mu wants to take this opportunity to correct Juliette Binoche's misconception of Chinese/Chinese films.

If a person like you were to live in China, would the end be as miserable as the protagonist of the film "Alive"?" Juliette Binoche asked curiously.

"After the founding of New China, many overseas Chinese knew that they would encounter a difficult living environment after returning to China, but the noble national plot still made them return to their motherland without hesitation. I think what the film "Alive" wants to show the world is not the darkness of China, but the tenacity of Chinese people who can survive tenaciously in that difficult environment. Lin Mu replied.

"If I lived in that environment, I would never have had the courage to live! The Chinese are a respectable nation, so what are we waiting for, it's up to you to reveal the final result! Juliette Binoche cleverly turned the conversation back to the ceremony.

"The winner of the Best Actor at this film festival is the actor of Fugui, the protagonist of the film "Alive", congratulations to Mr. Ge Wei from China/China!" Lin Mu loudly announced the final result.

In the warm applause from the audience, Ge Wei stepped to the front desk. He hugged Lin Mu, "I really didn't expect to see Mr. Lin again so soon, and it was at the Cannes awards ceremony, it seems that Mr. Lin and I are still very fateful!" ”

Lin Mu smiled and solemnly handed the trophy for Best Actor to Ge Wei, "I said we would see each other again!" ”

"I hope we'll see you again in the future!" Ge Wei, who got the general, was in a good mood, and couldn't help but joke with Lin Mu.

"I hope the next time we meet, it's on the podium at the Oscars!" Lin Mu finally said meaningfully.

"Uncle, according to my latest investigation, it seems that Dream has joined forces with Japan's SoftBank, and they are preparing to set up a branch of Yahoo in Japan!" Still in his humble office in Omaha, Nebraska, Warren Buffett and his nephew, Carl, are exchanging views on Dream's recent developments.

"Carl, what do you think of Yahoo?" Warren Buffett's first concern is Yahoo.

"This is a high-tech company, it can be seen that it has great potential, if this company chooses to go public, we will not hesitate to buy the company's shares!" Successive observations of Dream have allowed Carl to see that Yahoo is unusual.

"If you were Lin, what would you do?" Warren Buffett asked again.

"According to my survey, Dream holds at least 65% of Yahoo's shares, and with Dream's abundant funds, it is completely possible for Yahoo to become a limited liability company and completely control it in its own hands!" Carl was sure of that.

"So if Yahoo doesn't choose to go public, how are we going to buy its shares?" Warren Buffett asked rhetorically.

"This ......," Karl was momentarily speechless.

"Actually, I don't think Linde will turn Yahoo into a wholly-owned company of Dream as you said, he will definitely push Yahoo to go public in the end and then profit from it!" Warren Buffett spoke his mind.

"But this dream may not be able to get the most benefits." Carl doesn't know why his uncle thinks so, holding shares of a company for a long time has always been Buffett's investment philosophy, and the best way to hold it is not the shares of listed companies, but the internal equity of those unlisted companies.

"Don't forget, Dream is a venture capital company, it doesn't choose to hold a company's shares for a long time, I think Lin must have reached some kind of agreement with Yahoo, after going public, Dream will inevitably sell Yahoo's shares at the most favorable price, and the first buyer of these shares is likely to be Yahoo's current management. When we reinvest in Yahoo, it's just a leftover lunch! Warren Buffett analyzed.

"Wouldn't we have no chance at all?" Carl was a little unwilling, and he was personally very optimistic about Yahoo's future.

"In fact, Japan's SoftBank has given us a revelation, since they can cooperate with Dream by swapping shares, why can't Berkshire Hathaway cooperate with Dream in the same way?" Warren Buffett came up with his own idea. "The cooperation between Lin and Masayoshi Son is actually a signal, which shows that Dream will definitely move towards an international investment group in the future. And SoftBank is just a springboard for Dream to enter Asia. Son Masayoshi is a very discerning person, on the surface he has suffered losses, but in fact he has tied the future of SoftBank to the invincible battleship Dream. Dream will invest globally, and in the United States, Dream will definitely choose a major partner, we can't invest in Yahoo at the right time, but we can invest in Dream at the right time. In my opinion, the future of dream is more exciting than Yahoo! ”

"Colin may not accept our investment." Carl learned from the investigation that Lin Mu decided to cooperate with Japan's SoftBank because he was preparing to establish Japan's Yahoo, and Son Masayoshi seemed to have made a lot of concessions in order to take a stake in Dream. Carl believes that Lin Mu is only doing this to better control Yahoo in the future.

"You still don't know enough about Lin, you should watch more of his movies when you have time!" Warren Buffett shook his head, apparently Carl's knowledge of the forest was only scratching the surface.

"His films?" Carl then realized that Lin Mu was still the vice chairman of Paramount Pictures and a shareholder of Viacom, but he didn't understand what Lin Mu's film had to do with Dream's investment?

"Each of Lin's scripts can be called classics, but from a separate point of view, all his script styles have no inheritance at all, which is actually very revealing!" Warren Buffett patiently explained to Carl.

But Carl still had a blank expression, and Buffett sighed softly, "A person with normal thinking will form an obvious personal style in the works he writes, but Lin does not, the biggest feature of his works is that they do not have the same characteristics, which shows that his way of thinking is different from ordinary people, and even a very jumpy thinking." People with this kind of thinking never play cards according to common sense, which can be seen from the fact that he can refuse the Oscar, and he can boldly show his love to the person he likes on the Oscar without any scruples! Such a person is either a complete lunatic or an outright genius! ”

"But we at Berkshire Hathaway are more than 10 times the size of the Dream, and we can't make concessions like Japan's SoftBank!" Karl raised his concerns.

"Actually, what I value most about Lin is that he is very good at working with people, which can be seen from his cooperation with Son. I thought I had already made a plan to invest in Asia, but in Hayashi's previous goal, there was absolutely no Japanese SoftBank. Son only provided Dream with an opportunity to enter Asia in advance, and Lin chose to cooperate with him without hesitation. In fact, do you really think that Lin can't see Son's true intentions? Whoever has the last laugh is the real winner! And Son Masayoshi's little abacus is probably going to miscalculate on Lin Mu! "Warren Buffett is a veteran of the ups and downs of business, experienced and discerning.

"According to you, isn't it dangerous for us to cooperate with Dream?"

"I don't mean to say that Lin is calculating Masayoshi Son, but in the future, SoftBank may have another great use in Asia, and the final result of the cooperation will definitely be a win-win situation, but Dream is likely to be the real winner of the cooperation. A lot of the benefits are hidden behind the results. And our cooperation with Lin is different from SoftBank, and I am ready to unilaterally inject DREAM and make Berkshire Hathaway a shareholder in this company! (To be continued.) )
