The mother of the child is worried, and Lin Mu's every move outside is very concerned by both Lin's father and Lin's mother. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThey watched the live broadcast of the Oscars, and naturally they also knew about Lin Mu's rejection of the Oscars. They called Lin Mu at the first time and expressed great understanding and support for his actions, in their hearts, whether Lin Mu can win the award is not the most important thing.

Seeing Lin Mu appear at the door of the house with a tired face, although Lin Mu was a little surprised, she was not too surprised, she knew that Lin Mu had been under too much pressure recently. In the early years, the family moved from Taiwan to the United States, and their life was not stable at first, and the couple spent their days running around for a living, rarely interacting with Lin Mu. Later, life stabilized, but Lin Mu had reached the age of rebellion, and communication between them and Lin Mu became more difficult. But since Lin Mu behaved a little strangely during the vacation before going to college, their relationship has become more intimate than before.

After learning that Lin Mu hadn't eaten breakfast at this time, Lin Mu asked him to rest first, and she went to the kitchen to get food for him.

"Mom, do you think I'm doing something wrong?" Watching his mother bring him a bowl of steaming egg noodles, Lin Mu suddenly asked such a question.

"So do you think you're doing something wrong?" Mother Lin asked Lin Mu such a question in turn.

"I don't know!" The expression on Lin Mu's face was very painful, and in front of his mother, he did not hide the fragility in his heart, "But many people say that I am wrong!" ”

"So you really think you're doing something wrong?" Mother Lin patiently persuaded her son, "What I want to know is the truest thoughts in your heart." ”

Lin Mu didn't speak, he didn't know how to answer the question, because he also wanted to know the answer.

"You're conflicted? A lot of people say you're wrong, so you feel like you're wrong, and I think you should put aside what others say and listen to what you really feel inside! Mother Lin told Lin Mu very seriously, "You can escape the reproach of others, but you can't avoid the questioning of your own soul!" ”

Lin Mu suddenly raised his head, "Mom, what should I do?" Who can help me? ”

"God helps those who help themselves!"

Just then, Spielberg called Lin Mu, who was the first to show support for Lin Mu's actions.

Spielberg first called the school, and when he learned that Lin Mu had left the school, he called Lin Mu's home directly.

"How's it going?" Spielberg's tone on the phone was lighthearted.

"It's bad!" Lin Mu didn't hide his current situation from him.

"Still bothering about that?"

"I think yes, I've really had some trouble this time, some questions in my own mind, I haven't found the answers yet."

"I know a lot of people don't understand you," Spielberg paused on the phone, "but I want to tell you that you're doing a beautiful job, and I've never seen you write a screenwriter with such personality in Hollywood." There have been some problems with the Oscar jury over the years, and if I were 20 years younger, maybe I would do the same! ”

"You were the first to tell me that it was good to do this, thank you so much!" Lin Mu knew that Spielberg didn't say this entirely to comfort himself, but also contained some of his true thoughts.

"I'm so happy to be able to grab the first couch!" Spielberg laughed and joked, he learned the word couch grab from Lin Mu, who often used these novel words in conversation during the filming of "Jurassic Park" on Kuku Island, and he learned a lot of it himself.

The persuasion of his parents made Lin Mu think through a lot of problems, and Spielberg's comfort gave Lin Mu great encouragement, and it seems to be a good idea to be a screenwriter with personality!

Lin Mu stayed at home during the holidays, during which time Kueller called him twice. The first time Kuhler was to inform him of the latest progress of the investment company, and according to the investment plan previously listed by Lin Mu, the first batch of investment projects has been signed. This is good news for the woods.

For many small companies that are in the start-up stage, Dream Investments' offer is undoubtedly very tempting, and Dream will provide them with no less than $1 million in start-up capital at the initial stage of the company; Once the new company is on track, Dream will provide them with at least $4 million in R&D funding; During the company's IPO phase, Dream will provide them with more than $10 million in base funding. The premise is that Dream holds 60% of the company's shares. After the listing of the new company, Dream will hold the shares for no more than three years, during which the shares held will be sold to the original shareholders at the market price or the price agreed by both parties.

The first batch of companies selected for investment are all high-tech companies that have developed rapidly and successfully listed within three years in Lin Mu's memory. Although this is very risky in the market, according to the estimation of the woods, the average yield is at least 3~5 times, and in general he thinks it is a very good deal.

And Kuller's second call, the news brought to Lin Mu was not so fast. Kuhler told him that his previous contract with Warner Bros. for the script for "Friends" would expire by the end of September. At that time, if Lin Mu can't come up with a script, they will face the risk of default, and Warner is likely to take Lin Mu and Kueller to court with a complaint. Kuhler knows that Lin Mu has been in a bad mood lately and may not be able to write any scripts, but as an agent, he must tell his client the truth.

Lin Mu just replied to him lightly on the phone, "I know", Kuler was indeed a little anxious. But he knew that he was in no hurry, he could only hope that Lin Mu could come out of his sluggish state as soon as possible.

Soon began to circulate in the media that the famous Hollywood screenwriter Lin Mu suffered from mild depression, and the creation of the scripts for the sequels to "Friends" and "Prison Break" would be seriously affected, and Lin Mu was likely to end his work. Warner, who has the right of first refusal to buy the script for "Friends," did not respond to the matter, while Lin Mu's agent, Kuhler, admitted that Lin Mu has been under a lot of pressure recently, but he is in good health, and he himself does not agree with the media's claim that "Friends" and "Prison Break" are broken. He said that the third season of "Friends" is in the works, and it will definitely be delivered to the film company for filming at the end of September.

But the public was generally skeptical of this statement, and rumors about Lin Mu began to intensify, and even many of Lin Mu's friends called him one after another, concerned about his recent health, which made Lin Mu feel a little moved and a little laughing.

The public reaction to the incident has evolved from initial skepticism to shock, and it is clear that people have begun to believe the rumors.

The widespread influence of "Friends" and "Prison Break" came into play at this time, and fans around the world began to spontaneously hold some gatherings to discuss countermeasures.

On the 12th, a small march broke out on the streets of Los Angeles, with fans from all over the country taking to the streets holding various slogans. "Don't go, we need you!" "Come back soon!" ", I love you! A variety of slogans became the focus of attention for Los Angeles residents and the media that day.

And in Chicago, local fans spontaneously came to Lin Mu's door, and they held aloft "Come on!" The cloth label has not been dispersed for several days. Some people even set up tents on the street opposite Lin Mu's house, preparing to stay here for a long time.

Their persistence eventually touched Lin Mu, and at first he felt that he was abandoned by everyone and that no one could understand him, but these days, he was ashamed of all the actions that fans had done to save "Friends" and "Prison Break". Although he has lived up to the expectations of many people, everyone has not forgotten him and his works.

Lin Mu walked out of the house, and he decided to communicate with the fans, he wanted to know what they really thought in their hearts. I have to say that this is a very bold idea, Lin Mu's appearance immediately caused quite a stir, and his next move surprised everyone. Lin Mu invited all of them to the courtyard, and everyone sat around the lawn, tasting the fried rice cooked by Lin Mu's mother for everyone.

"How's it taste?" Lin Mu sat cross-legged on the lawn like everyone else, and it was the first time he had such close contact with fans.

"It would be nice to have some to drink!" A middle-aged man licked his lips and looked unsatisfied.

"That's a good proposition!" Lin Mu nodded, he asked his mother to get some Coke for everyone, and now he was more like chatting with a group of friends.

"Will you continue to write Friends?" A little girl sitting not far away asked in a low voice. Her voice was quiet, but everyone present immediately fell silent, which was obviously their primary concern at this time.

"Do you like watching Friends?" Lin Mu asked curiously, this little girl looks very shy, and her age is only 5 years old at most, at her age, she should not be able to understand the plot in "Friends".

"My mom and dad love watching it, and they only don't fight when Friends is on TV!" The little girl replied in a whisper.

"Jenny, don't talk nonsense!" The curly-haired man sitting next to him looked a little embarrassed.

"I guess this is your father!" Lin Mu glanced at the man who was a little nervous, "This gentleman, although I don't know your name, I think you should have a good talk with your wife." Constant quarrels between husband and wife are not a good thing for the growth of children! ”

"Actually, my wife loves your work!" The curly-haired man blushed and said, "I can only communicate with her seriously when I watch "Friends", so I really hope that you can continue to write "Friends"!" His request was sincere, and everyone present echoed it.

Lin Mu shrugged, "Actually, I didn't plan on giving up on Friends......"

"Really?" "Great! "It's amazing! Before he could finish speaking, everyone present was already cheering, "So we're going to watch the sequel to this TV show soon?" Someone asked.

"I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a while, because what is stored in my computer is still just a description of some detailed fragments, and I'm sorting it out, which will take a while, and I estimate that it won't be officially released until next year at the earliest." Lin Mu said with a smile.

"And what about Prison Break? Are you still planning to continue creating it? A boy of fifteen or sixteen asked loudly.

"Can you tell me what attracted you to Prison Break?" Lin Mu was not in a hurry to answer the boy's question.

"Of course it's the plot, I think Michael is so cool!" The boy proudly told Lin Mu, "I have watched this film three times before and after, and I am familiar with all the plots, which is really great!" ”

"Your friends all watch Prison Break?" Lin Mu asked again.

"Of course, everyone I know has seen this TV series, and I also formed a "Prison Break" league at school, and when this TV series was shown for the first time, we got together once a day to discuss how the plot would develop next!"

"That sounds cool!"

"Of course, I want to know what happened to Michael."

"I'm as interested in this question as you are!" Lin Mu bypassed the topic with a very humorous feeling. "I'm afraid we'll have to wait a while for the script for Prison Break, but I can assure you that Prison Break doesn't end there, Michael's story has just begun!"

Really walking into the audience, sitting and chatting with them, and seriously experiencing their feelings, this gave Lin Mu a new understanding of creation. He plans to write all these experiences into the plot of the third season of "Friends". So after he started creating, he didn't completely follow the original book in his memory, but added a lot of things that belonged to him according to his own feelings. In early September, Lin Mu finally completed the creation of the third season of "Friends", and Warner did not hesitate to bid 4 million to buy the script.

The day before returning to school, Spielberg called Lin Mu again, and he came to Lin Mu this time mainly to discuss with him about the preparation of "Schindler's List". Because the previous schedule was full, Spielberg was ready to shoot the film in the second half of next year, and Lin Mu expressed his understanding.

In fact, Lin Mu was also very happy in his heart, when he handed over the script to Spielberg, he didn't think that he would write "The Shawshank Redemption" later. He did everything possible to make "The Shawshank Redemption" avoid some strong opponents and let it find the glory that could have belonged to it. (To be continued.) )
