Lin Mu's views on the development trend of special effects also gave Lucas a great inspiration, especially Lin Mu's proposal that future films are likely to be 100% digitally composited, all shooting will be done in the studio, and the natural background only needs to be superimposed in post-production, which gave Lucas a great shock. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 At the same time, Lin Mu inadvertently mentioned the development of 3D animation, and he deeply regretted that Lucas sold off a computer department called the "Computer Animation Group" within Light & Magic in 1986. Lin Mu knew that it was the predecessor of Pixar Animation Studio, a big name in animation production in later generations. He believes that 3D animation will change the landscape of animated films from another angle. But Lucas wasn't interested in 3D animation, he paid more attention to cinematic stunts that added realism to the photos.

Through these conversations, Lin Mu and Lucas had a comprehensive understanding of both sides, and they had a good impression of each other, which also laid the foundation for the later cooperation between the two.

During this time, a tropical storm passed by the Hawaiian Islands, which caused the crew members on the island to experience a heavy rainstorm together. Due to the prior warning of a storm, there were no casualties among the crew. It was the first time for Lin Mu to experience such a violent natural weather, and what he felt most deeply was the powerful destructive power of nature, in front of nature, the power of human beings was so insignificant, which began to trigger his thinking about human beings and nature.

A few days after the storm, location filming had to be temporarily halted due to the water on the ground, which gave the forest a lot of free time. The creation of the second season of "Friends" is also nearing the end of this time. After the script was written, he would receive more than $2.5 million at the price that Kueller had agreed with James, and what to do with the property would be something he had to start considering.

The main plan to invest most of Microsoft's assets will not change, but in the past month or so on the island, witnessing the beginning and end of the preparation for "Jurassic Park" has made Lin Mu realize the importance of strong capital for film shooting. Investing in Microsoft is a long-term plan, and he can't get the most benefits in the short term, so he decided to set his sights on some high-risk, high-return investments. But on this isolated island, Lin Mu can't make any judgment, and everything has to wait until he returns to Los Angeles to discuss and decide with Cooler.

When Lin Mu left, the location shooting of "Jurassic Park" was also about to end, and before leaving, Lin Mu handed the script of "Schindler's List" to Spielberg. Spielberg's response was also very quick, and as soon as Lin Mu returned to school, Spielberg immediately got in touch with him. He told Lin Mu that as soon as the filming of "Jurassic Park" ended, he would immediately start preparing for the film.

According to Lin Mu's estimates, "Jurassic Park" will not be able to complete all post-production until Christmas at the earliest, and the release of the film is estimated to be next year. But even Spielberg began to prepare "Schindler's List" next year, and it will be a few years before it is released. His little butterfly flapped its wings and had unknowingly bred a storm.

Lin Mu brought back half a suitcase full of manuscripts from Hawaii, and it took another week to sort them out. After reading the script, Lin received $2.54 million in remuneration from Warner for the previously negotiated price, and he also had $2.4 million in cash after deducting the $140,000 commission paid to Cooler.

When he counted his assets, he found that the Microsoft stock he had purchased had nearly doubled by this time, and he now held more than $1.5 million in Microsoft stock on June 27 this year. In his memory, Microsoft will have a stock split next year, when the stock price will almost double the current price, which means that Microsoft's stock price will still rise by more than 100% in the next year, and based on this consideration, he bought Microsoft stock again.

The new semester of his sophomore year has become a bit of a hectic schedule, which leaves Lin Mu with little time to spare. Robert. Romisky called Lin Mu in mid-September, and after nearly half a year of preparation, "Forrest Gump" is scheduled to officially start in October. Robert. Romyski confidently told Lin Mu on the phone that this time the crew had reached a consensus, and the film vowed to win the Oscars next year.

Lin Mu silently calculated in his heart, in the competition for the Oscars in 93, without the strong opponent of "Schindler's List", "Forrest Gump", which was released a year in advance, undoubtedly became the biggest winner. As long as there are no accidents at that time, there will be no suspense about the best picture, director, actor and screenwriter, and Lin Mu is a little excited when he thinks that this is likely to be the first Oscar trophy he has won.

This news didn't make Lin Mu happy for long, because his real troubles had just begun. If "Smelling a Woman" made some people in the school get to know Lin Mu, then Kuller's interview with a popular campus publication made the entire UCLA faculty and students know him. In the report, titled "Thomas Kuhler and His Genius Buddy Forest", Kuhler exaggerates the likelihood of a genius playwright, while Kuhler boasts of himself as a hero with a discerning eye, "The first time I saw him, I saw that he was different, and when he was in trouble, I selflessly reached out to him, and this is how our unbreakable friendship was established!" ”

"What's that?" Lin Mu angrily smashed the newspaper on the table. He was angry not because he was unhappy with Kuller's self-aggrandizement. It's just that in this way, almost all the classmates in the school know him, and the photo of him and Kuhler in the newspaper has completely betrayed him. Now wherever he goes, he is greeted warmly. The mailbox in the apartment was always stuffed with inexplicable letters, and he had to constantly confront questions such as "How is the plot of the sequel to Friends going to develop?" "Which actor does Rachel like? "What will be the final ending of 'Friends'? This kind of problem bothers him.

For this reason, Kuller felt the wrath of the forest for the first time, "Is this the business quality of you Jews?" Is there a clause in our contract that allows you to give private media interviews without your employer's consent? Do you know that I'm going crazy every day with all those endless, stupid questions? How do you ask me to study in the future? How to write a screenplay? The roar that resounded throughout the room made Kueller understand that Lin Mu was really angry this time, and he didn't defend himself, he knew that a person like Lin Mu, who was usually calm, would be more impulsive than anyone else once he started a fire, and any of his justifications would only make the relationship between the two completely break down.

When Lin Mu was almost done, he handed over a glass of water. Kuler's face of grievance made the only little anger left in Lin Mu's chest come to naught, he took the water cup angrily, and scolded a person so loudly for the first time, his throat was indeed a little dry.

Seeing that Lin Mu was already out of breath, Kuler began to defend himself, "I didn't do this all for myself as you said, I also wanted to increase your popularity, but I didn't expect it to bring you so much trouble!" ”

Lin Mu snorted coldly, Kueller knew that his anger had not subsided, and continued: "Actually, these troubles you encounter are not necessarily a bad thing, I know that you are a low-key person, but since you have chosen to enter the film and television industry, such a situation will happen sooner or later." The fact that you have so much trouble in school just shows that people like your work, which is something that many people dream of! ”

Seeing that Lin Mu was silent, Kuhler knew that he had already begun to be persuaded by himself, "Of course it is really wrong for me to do this, you have every reason to terminate the contract between us, as long as you say a word, I can disappear from this room immediately, you will be my Thomas Kuller never appeared!" ”

"Kuller, actually, I didn't mean that." Seeing that Kueller said this, Lin Mu relented a little, after all, they were friends who had been together for so long.

You should learn to adapt to this life, and you will encounter more and more troubles like this in the future. As your agent, I can help you recover those boring letters, and I can help you reject those inquisitive interviews, but I can't refuse people's love for you, this is the charm of your work, and it is also your personal charm, and we have no reason to refuse this love! ”

Lin Mu eventually forgives Kuler, but at the same time, Kuhler also assures him that it will not happen again in the future. In order to reduce the pressure on the trees, Kuhler came up with a solution. After obtaining Lin Mu's consent, he published such a message in the newspaper that originally published the article. This news announced that Lin Mu would open a special feature in the newspaper, and everyone could leave any comments and thoughts on his work through the newspaper. Lin Mu himself will also hold regular readers' meetings to share his wonderful creative feelings with everyone and discuss the development of the plot together.

As soon as this news was published, it immediately had a lot of repercussions on campus, and everyone's enthusiasm was attracted by the special feature in the newspaper, which made Lin Mu a lot more relaxed. At least he's walking on the road now, and many people will greet him, but few are pestering him to ask inconsequential questions. Except for writing a weekly review on some readers' questions, Lin Mu's life has basically returned to normal.

But it didn't end there, and with the popularity of "Friends", Lin Mu set up a feature in the newspaper to greatly increase the popularity of the newspaper, and some other media in Los Angeles began to ask him for articles. Khöhler was so busy that he had to deal with different media outlets every day, choose the right ones, and then finalize the price. Lin Mu only promised to write five special articles a week, but at the same time, more than 20 media outlets asked for articles. He had to maneuver through it, and he was overwhelmed.

In the end, Kuhler had to change the weekly review to a monthly review, which barely met the needs of many media outlets, and he now clamored for a salary increase as soon as he saw Lin Mu.

"Who told you to come up with such a bad idea in the first place, this is called self-inflicted!" Lin Mu didn't pay attention to his request, and Kuler couldn't do anything.

In fact, Kuhler also got a lot of benefits from this, and many media outlets would often quietly stuff him with some facilitation money in order to get the latest comments from Lin Mu. Although Lin Mu knew some of the situation, he didn't break it, and he still understood the truth that when the water is clear, there are no fish. Kuhler didn't expect Lin Mu to agree to his salary increase, but he immediately asked Lin Mu to increase the number of comments per week, but in exchange for Lin Mu's white eyes, "Then I'll write reviews every week, and you will write the script in the future?" ”

The weekly fixed comments gave Lin Mu another regular income, and just when the major newspapers in Los Angeles were hot to serialize Lin Mu's special reviews, Lucas's phone call brought him another piece of good news. The digital synthesis technology he proposed to simulate real dinosaur skin in computer was finally successfully trial-produced. In Lucas's words, it's "breathing skin", and he ambitiously tells Lin Mu that ILM will use this technology to dumb the world!

Lucas's phone call finally put Lin Mu's hanging heart down, his appearance made the filming of "Jurassic Park" a year earlier, he was really worried that the development of industrial light and magic's digital technology could not keep up with his pace, so the effect of the shooting, I am afraid that the effect of the shooting will be greatly reduced. He didn't want the classic in the history of this film to be ruined in his own hands.

On the other hand, the speed at which Warner filmed the second season of "Friends" also surprised Lin Mu. It's been less than a month and a half since the script was handed over to them, and NBC is already beginning to preview the airtime of the sequel to Friends. This has once again sparked heated discussions about "Friends". Even the New York Times, which is very influential in the United States, began to ask Lin Mu for manuscripts, and at Kuhler's strong request, Lin Mu had to agree to add two more comments a week. In addition to studying, Lin Mu's remaining time was crowded out by the comments of "Friends", and he had no time to write a new script at all.

Lin Mu was invited to participate in the opening ceremony of "Forrest Gump" at the end of October, and it is the third time that Lin Mu, who has participated in the film's launch conference as a screenwriter, has been able to deal with interviews with reporters from all walks of life. After accepting Kuller's suggestion, he changed his attitude towards the media, and began to smile at the camera and flash, answering all kinds of questions. Under the direction of Robert . After Romiski's high-profile announcement that the film was going to hit next year's Oscars, a reporter from Entertainment Weekly stood up, but his question was directed at Lin Mu, "May I ask Mr. Lin, as the screenwriter of this film, do you agree with Robert. What about Mr. Romiski's statement? (To be continued.) )
