The "Danish fairy tale" staged in Europe gave birth to a billionaire under the age of 20 in the United States across the ocean, Lin Mu received $200 million from a bookmaker, and the title of Köhler's well-known agent was followed by an additional title of investment adviser. The company decided to set up a venture capital firm based on www.biquge.info $200 million to invest in high-tech companies with growth potential. In the United States in the 90s, the booming economy gave birth to a large number of high-tech enterprises, and the initial shortage of funds greatly limited the development of these companies. In '92, venture capital in the United States was still in its infancy, and Lin Mu decided to seize the opportunity to seize this lucrative market.
Lin Mu named this investment company "DREAM", with the intention of achieving dreams. The company's main investment plan is finalized by Timberwood, and the specific management and operation are handled by Kröhler. This company, which is in the pipeline, is the predecessor of Dream, which later became the same name as the Soros Quantum Fund.
It is not only the Danish team that has created miracles, during the European Championships, the film "Forrest Gump" also completed its most gorgeous turn! With no record-breaking premiere box office, a week after its release, and no box office hits, the ending of Forrest Gump seemed destined to be a tragedy from the start. Just when everyone was waiting to see Lin Mu's embarrassment, "Forrest Gump" miraculously appeared at the last place in the North American box office charts. At first, this did not attract much attention from the media, which was not a good result for "Forrest Gump", which had been released for more than half a month, but as time passed, people were surprised to find that the figure of "Forrest Gump" did not disappear from the list, but moved forward a few places. At the same time, "Forrest Gump" appeared more on some box office charts in Europe and Asia, and many people realized that the situation has changed!
The first to react was the European media, with an opinion piece entitled: "Running "fairy tales" appearing on the pages of the British Times. "It's an inspirational film! This is a microcosm of the growth of Americans! This is a classic film that will make people feel no matter how many times you watch it! The essay begins with a strong metaphorical sentence, with three striking exclamation marks that are the first thoughts of the Englishman, who has always had a very demanding taste, on the film.
And Paris Fashion Weekly also praised this film. As the most authoritative film review magazine in France, Vogue Gump made an in-depth analysis of "Forrest Gump" from the perspective of film creation in the article. "With such a wonderful script, coupled with the superb acting skills of the main creative staff and a unique director, through the growth process of a fool as the main line, and attached to the special period in the United States as the background, what is finally presented to the audience is a classic film that shocks the soul!" "The feathers fluttering in the air are reflected in people's hearts." ”
Five weeks after the film's release, the American media can no longer sit idly by and ignore the film, and "Forrest Gump" has exceeded $400 million at the global box office, topping the North American film charts, and there is a great tendency to sit on it and not plan to come down. After winning the box office championship for two consecutive weeks, "Forrest Gump" lived up to the trust of Lin Mu's boast of "Haikou" in front of the media a month ago, and it appeared in a conspicuous position in major media newspapers in the United States with a winner. As Lin Mu later concluded, "The media is best at doing two things, one is the icing on the cake, and the other is to get to the bottom of the ground." ”
A month and a half after its release, this running fairy tale finally broke the highest box office record for a literary film with a box office score of 700 million US dollars. Although there is still a big gap between the box office of the film and "Jurassic Park", compared with the revenue and production costs, "Forrest Gump" is the real winner. Even Spielberg himself admits that the film surpasses all other films of the same period in terms of artistic value.
What is interesting is that the encounter of the film "Forrest Gump" in reality just fits the theme of the film, from the beginning of being not understood, to the later blockbuster, vividly reproducing the life experience of the protagonist Forrest Gump in the film. "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you'll taste like next!" A still of Forrest Gump, played by Tom Criss, made it to the cover of Time magazine in the United States, and Forrest Gump became the fourth film character to be the cover character of Time magazine. In the introduction of the cover character, the editor of Time magazine quoted a classic line from the film, which appropriately expressed his high respect for the film.
Forrest Gump became the face of the American spirit, and Lin Mu reaped the greatest benefits. If "Jurassic Park" showed people his extraordinary business planning ability, then "Forrest Gump" is the best proof of his screenwriting ability. Although he finally won the bet, Lin Mu just laughed it off and didn't intend to seriously pursue the matter. This disappointed many media who held back their strength and wanted to watch a good show.
During this period, Lin Mu also received another piece of good news. Last year's "Smell and Know a Woman" passed the review of the Oscar organizing committee and will compete for four awards at the Oscars ceremony held in early June.
As Lin Mu's old friend and the leader of Lin Mu's entry into Hollywood, Martin Brest mentioned this matter to Lin Mu in a very relaxed tone on the phone. Of course, he also congratulated Lin Mu on his current achievements, Lin Mu is no longer the Chinese teenager who sat in front of him and was still a little restrained, from the incomparable shock of "Jurassic Park" to the transcendent classic of "Forrest Gump", in less than two years, Lin Mu has become the hottest talented screenwriter in Hollywood. Martin Brest is pleased with his vision.
Lin Mu also congratulated Martin Brest, who in fact has received an invitation from the Oscar organizing committee to attend the Oscars ceremony scheduled for June 5 in Los Angeles. The nomination for the Oscar for "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Woman" did not surprise Lin Mu too much, but Lin Mu did not have too much hope that the Oscar execution could bring him a little golden man. In his impression, the film "The Silence of the Lambs" is the biggest winner of this Oscar.
But after all, this is his first appearance on the Oscar stage, Lin Mu still made some serious preparations, from the choice of dress to the matching of ties, he did not dare to relax in the slightest. Even if he came prepared, he was really standing at the door of the temple auditorium, facing the lenses and flashes of countless media, Lin Mu still felt a little nervous.
The Oscar red carpet every year is a grand fashion show, which is an excellent stage for stars to show themselves, and it is also the most talked about part of the Oscars every year. The stars who were able to walk on this red carpet have done everything they can to attract the attention of the media and increase their public influence.
Compared with those celebrities who dress up, Lin Mu's dress is much more low-key. But even so, as the only Chinese face to appear in the whole scene, his appearance immediately attracted the attention of many media. The release of "Jurassic Park" and "Forrest Gump" pushed Lin Mu's popularity in Hollywood to a peak, although he came as the screenwriter of the film "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman", but in the red carpet link, the organizing committee did not arrange him and the rest of the crew together, in fact, Lin Mu had learned in advance that there would be a mysterious female guest walking the red carpet with him, but the organizer did not tell him the specific candidate.
Just when Lin Mu was guessing which female star it was, another welcome car had slowly stopped at the end of the red carpet. Out of courtesy, Lin Mu was already waiting aside, ready to help the lady out of the car.
The moment the waiter opened the car door, Lin Mu first saw a beautiful and sexy big mouth, "It's her!" ”
Julia Roberts turned out to be his female companion on the red carpet, and happiness came so suddenly, so that Lin Mu suddenly had an urge to hug the Oscar organizing committee, and being able to be in such close contact with this Hollywood beauty made Lin Mu secretly sigh that he was very happy.
Julia Roberts became the pretty woman in everyone's mind for her role in Pretty Woman, and in this Cinderella-esque story, she gives life to many girls' dreams. Her pure, natural image of youth is lingering. The audience's favorite comedy star and favorite drama star voted by the annual public opinion vote is just 25 years old this year, and with a height of 180, she has faded away from the youthfulness of a girl, and her whole body exudes a mature charm. When Julia Roberts, wearing a silver-white low-cut dress, appeared on the red carpet of the Oscars, the scene immediately boiled, and it was cheers from many fans.
Watching the crowd erupt in bursts of enthusiastic cheers, Lin Mu is why so many people are so fascinated by becoming a star, the feeling of being surrounded by flashing lights and being drowned by cheers makes Lin Mu standing on the side also a little envious. It seems that this Oscar red carpet is destined to be just a supporting role!
Lin Mu is a gentleman and let Julia Roberts hold her arm, and Julia Roberts is also very curious about this screenwriter who quickly became popular like a comet in Hollywood, especially Lin Mu's youth surprised her. In Hollywood, she had never seen a screenwriter so young. But she didn't despise Lin Mu because of his youth, she knew that the young man she held up had brought great shock to Hollywood, the entire United States, and the world this year. Her older brother, Rick Roberts, once told him that this man's future in Hollywood is limitless!
More than 100 meters of red carpet, Lin Mu and Julia Roberts walked for nearly ten minutes. Julia Roberts did not refuse interviews with the media, and it was not easy for the trees on the side to refuse. If it weren't for the constant reminders from the staff, the two of them would have been able to stay on the red carpet for an hour. In these ten minutes, Lin Mu felt that he had faced the camera and flash more times than he had ever done before, and by the time he stepped off the red carpet, the smile on his face had become a little stiff.
After walking through the red carpet, Julia Roberts reluctantly put her hand off Lin Mu's arm, obviously the crazy performance of the media on the red carpet just now made her still have a feeling of reminiscence, and the other members of the crew were already waiting in the hall. As Lin Mu's agent, Kuhler also received an invitation, but he was only treated as a general entourage, and did not go through the red carpet, but entered the venue directly through another passage.
He recognized Julia Roberts at a glance as she walked into the hall with Lin Mu, and he walked forward quickly, wanting to take the opportunity to get close to the goddess in his heart.
Julia Roberts originally wanted to take this opportunity to chat with Lin Mu, but Lin Mu's politeness on the red carpet just now left a good impression on her, especially Lin Mu seems to know many well-known directors, and he has a good relationship with the top management of Universal, so he is the best candidate for in-depth communication.
"Hey!" Kuhler leaned in out of place, "Aren't you going to introduce me to this beautiful woman next to you?" ”
Lin Mu glared at him angrily, but still introduced him to Julia Roberts with a smile on his face, "This is my agent, Mr. Thomas Cooler!" ”
"Hello!" Julia Roberts greeted Kueller politely, but had no intention of shaking hands with him.
"Kühler is now in charge of an investment company, and he is a good friend of mine from college!" Lin Mu said it lightly, but he was deliberately raising Kuler's value.
"Unfortunately, I don't know anything about investing. My brother often suggested that I find an accountant to be my husband in the future, and I always couldn't control my expenses. Julia Roberts wasn't very interested in Cooler, "I heard that Mr.'s work was also selected this time?" She brought the conversation back to Lin Mu.
"This is the first work...... Kuhler is ready to continue
"I don't think it's very likely to win!" Lin Mu very bluntly blocked all of Kuler's words.
"Sir is such a humble man, I have seen that movie and to be honest I like that blind lieutenant colonel! I hope this work can be affirmed by the organizing committee! Julia Roberts smiled and covered her sexy lips, "But I'm sorry, I'm here today as a special guest, so I might have to get in now!" She politely left a light kiss on Lin Mu's face, and left with a burst of incense.
Looking at her fragrant back, Lin Mu seemed to hear the sound of Kuller swallowing saliva, "What a peerless stunner!" Kuhler finally said to himself. (To be continued.) )
