Of course, if you only rely on your accent, I still can't be sure of my own judgment, but combined with your upbringing in Hollywood, I can already be completely sure that something as incredible as mine must have happened to you.www.biquge.info ”

After a moment of silence, Lin Mu said, "Then what exactly do you want me to do?" ”

"My child, the way you ask this question makes me feel indescribably happy. In my long life, no one has ever been able to ask such a question in such a calm tone, and I have encountered almost every attitude imaginable—anger, pain, rage, doubt, even hysterical seizures—but never has there been such an interest as you. If you show interest today, then tomorrow you will show concern, and in the end, it is possible that I will get your commitment. ”

"It seems like more than I wanted to do."

"I am comforted by your misgivings - this is the foundation of far-reaching and convictive conviction. If you simply agree to my terms, maybe I should consider whether I made the right decision. But now we don't need to argue, you're already interested, that's enough. ”

"But I didn't say anything." Lin Mu said with a wry smile.

"I mean, in fact, you already understand, it's just that you don't want to admit it in your heart." The old man saw through Lin Mu's thoughts.

"I'm just curious, but that doesn't mean I'm interested."

"If you knew what kind of powerful organization you were going to control, maybe you wouldn't have jumped to such conclusions!"

"It's your tool to fight against fate, but it's not what I'm after. If it's just for profit, as long as I give me another ten years, no matter how strong the so-called economic empire is, I have the confidence to trample it under my feet, but that's not what I want! ”

"I feel like I'm running out of time to stay in this world, but I'm still willing to wait for that little time, so I'm looking forward to seeing you the next time we meet, and you'll have a change of heart."

It's not that he treats money like dung, but can be indifferent in the face of such an astonishing fortune Lin Mu understands that there is never a free lunch in the world, and how much you get, you have to be conditioned by equal loss, and in this regard, everyone is fair when God does

Lao Mu has been waiting quietly outside the church for Lin Mu, the conversation has not had the desired effect, Lao Mu was not surprised at all, neither the old man in the church, nor Lin Mu is a person who is willing to compromise easily, it is the similarity between the two that contributed to this meeting, but it is precisely because of this that it is almost difficult for the two to reach an agreement

Lin Mu's strange expression was out of the church, Lao Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the church has always been unscrupulous in order to achieve the goal, Machiavelli's classic quote in "The Monarch is to serve the end" was vividly interpreted by him in this matter, he did not use force on Lin Mu, which greatly surprised Lao Mu, he looked up at the gray tower in the gloomy sky, the mysterious man, he spent a lifetime pondering that man's mind, but in the end, he realized that he did not know him at all

"Is there a catch?" Lao Mu asked.

"His story is wonderful, and the tea there is delicious, that's all," Lin Mu smiled, the secret about the time traveler was a secret shared by him and the old man, first of all, he was not sure if Lao Mu would be able to accept the bizarre experience of being born in them, and secondly, if Lao Mu knew about it, Lin Mu was not sure if the old man in the church would tolerate the existence of so many people like Lao Mu, based on these two considerations, Lin Mu did not tell Lao Mu the content of their conversation

"He served you with tea?" Lao Mu looked incredulous

"Serving guests with tea, this is originally our traditional Chinese/Chinese hospitality, is there anything wrong with this?" Lin Mu instinctively felt from Lao Mu's expression that the kind of tea that the old man gave him was not simple, "Is it poisonous in it?" A ridiculous idea suddenly popped into Lin Mu's mind

"That kind of tea is very rare and precious, and the value of a gram of tea can almost be equivalent to an ounce of gold," Lao Mu said in a somewhat envious tone, "You are the second person who has ever drunk that tea with him, and it seems that he really does not appreciate you ordinarily."

"Shouldn't I feel honored to be recognized by someone like him?" Lin Mu glanced at him with some annoyance, "But I can't be happy at all in my heart, so I clearly rejected him!"

"He's not one to give up easily!" When leaving, Lao Mu reminded without worry

"I'm not one to compromise easily!" Lin Mu moved the car, "No one can force me to do things I don't like to do, not even him!"

I am not a lone traveler on a long journey of time; $, although he found a person who had the same experience as himself, Lin Mu himself was not happy at all, not to mention that he had an unclear entanglement with the gang/gang forces that he had always disliked, and he also got into a big trouble; Even the script of the gang/gangster movie that Taiwan has been preparing has no clue so far

There are ready-made stories in Lin Mu's hands, but they are all some behind-the-scenes truths about the Chinese gangs/gangs, as an insider, Lin Mu already feels numb and annoying, if - really write these things into the script, and then make them into a shadow, then Lin Mu's future life is afraid that it will never be peaceful

But Chinese gangster movies are indeed a good entry point, especially on racial equality and civil rights issues, Lin Mu can make a big fuss, so he is not willing to give up this topic just like that, how to strike a balance between truth and art can not only expose some real problems, but also not touch the sensitive nerves of some organizations, Lin Mu decided to be a tightrope

The main background of the script is chosen in New York, USA in the 7O era, when racial equality and civil rights issues have made breakthroughs in the United States, but it is also the era when the conflict between Yudun is most intense, and the fighting on the surface and the game in the dark are very fierce, and the chaotic situation is the growth of gangs

The story is still based on the growth experience of a Chinese gang/gang leader, starting from the so era and his family history, how a black/Taoist godfather evaded the government's investigation and transformed into a financial tycoon The contradictions and conflicts of the whole drama are concentrated in the 7o years, a person with a dual identity, how to be wrapped up in the tide of history in no. Unconsciously, I promoted the exhibition of history

This kind of story setting can be regarded as a marginal ball, Lin Mu focuses on revealing in the script the real life process of Chinese in the United States, how a young man is slowly changed by life into a ruthless black/Taoist owl, and then how to find the way to self-redemption in power and ** when he passes a series

When Duan reached the peak of the black/Dao, he didn't get satisfaction, and he was tired of sin and darkness when he was lonely, so he longed to get out of the shadows, and he did everything possible to bleaching his shady industry, and he just wanted to be a businessman

But it backfired, and it seemed to step into the darkness from him. From the moment of the road, he was destined to go all the way to the black, and he wanted to let go, but his opponent was unwilling to let go of his originally happy family, ruined by the opponent's crazy revenge, fate once again pulled him into the dark abyss In order to punish the murderer behind the scenes, he had to regain the long-lost black. Dao power, once again incarnated black. The Taoist father, and his opponent start a dark battle of wits and courage.

The protagonist goes in and out of various high-end drinking parties on Wall Street, and his identity on the surface is bright and enviable; Behind the scenes, he controls a huge number of concubines. The contradiction between social industry and industry, talking and laughing can determine the fate of many people under him, and the conflict between the two identities reflects Lin Mu's basic setting for the story at the beginning, human nature is like the positive and negative sides of a coin, evil and good-gen, justice and evil, success and failure are essentially the same person's life is like tossing a coin, you can only get one side of it, and suppress the other side.

At the end of the play, he finally defeats his opponent, but he also inadvertently kills the prosecutor who represents justice, it is the dead opponent who gave him a beryllium, and the prosecutor is born in a church with the protagonist before he dies, and the protagonist tells the dying prosecutor when he leaves: "If I have a choice, I just want to be a good person!"

The figure of Lin Suo when he left and the picture of the prosecutor gradually losing his lifeless color were written by Lin Mu as a rather symbolic ending

Director Francis Ford Coppola is not the first person to see this script, after the script is completed, Lin Mu first wanted to seal Lao Mu because in the setting of this character, he somewhat referred to Lao Mu's real experience, although many places have been artistically processed, but Lin Mu still insists that he wrote Lao Mu.

After reading Lin Mu's script, Lao Mu just smiled and shook his head, "I like the role of Lixi very much, because he gives people a very real feeling, the battle between good and evil, and the analysis of human nature are very profound, I am luckier than him, because I still have the opportunity to choose to be a good person."

Lao Mu's answer somewhat disappointed Lin Mu, but the script was in the hands of Francis Ford Coppola, but it was a different situation, using the word "amazing" A- to describe his reaction after reading the script is not too much The last time Lin Mu ran to the Napa Valley to ask him to go out of the mountain, but this time after receiving the script, he himself took the initiative to run to Los Angeles, and even enough for Lin Mu's assistant to stop him, he broke into Lin Mu's office in a daze, and interrupted his conversation with a department head

Looking at the stunned woods, Francis, Ford, and Coppola just smiled slightly apologetically and apologized for disturbing your work, but I do have something important

Lin Mu saw the helpless expression on the assistant's face, and immediately understood the reason for the matter, "Regarding that matter, I will talk to you about it again!" Francis, Ford Coppola's intrusion forced him to end the conversation with the head of the department early. After all, Ford Coppola is a famous Hollywood director, such a character always has a weird temper and acts unreasonably, so Lin Mu didn't want to complain about him, Corporal Lixian has always been Lin Mu's principle of treating people, which is also an important reason why many people with different personalities and temperaments are willing to cooperate with him

"Is it a problem with that script?" Lin Mu asked his assistant to pour a cup of coffee for Francis, Ford, and Kopog

"Is that supposed to be your own work?" Francis, Ford, and Coppola looked in a hurry just now, but now they can answer Lin Mu's question while drinking coffee slowly: "The coherence and independence of the whole script are better than all your previous scripts, and the contradictions and conflicts are well grasped, and many details are rich in metaphorical symbolism, such a script should be completely from your personal handwriting."

"Thank you for the compliment!" Lin Mu's own independent script can be recognized by a great director like Francis Ford-Coppola, and his gratitude is heartfelt

"I agreed to make this movie, but it doesn't seem to have much to do with the first three episodes of The Godfather in terms of plot, so how about we make it a biquel to the Godfather series?" Francis Ford Coppola's tone is not like asking for the advice of Lin Mu, as the founder of the "Godfather" canon, he does have a say in the matter.

After the positioning of the script was determined, Francis, Ford, and Coppola immediately talked to Lin Mu about the actor.

The script is based on the growth of Chinese gangsters/gang leaders, so there will inevitably be many Chinese faces in the movie. Francis Ford, Coppola is not familiar with Chinese actors, so he hopes that Lin Mu can give him some good advice on the issue of actors. "Xyn, you are the screenwriter of the film, I can fully trust you for your grasp of the character!" When Francis Ford ^ Coppola said this, he was handing over the casting task to Lin Mu.

As a sequel to the "Godfather" series, Lin Mu's script was unanimously approved by the board of directors of Pyraxo, and compared to those big-budget films, the budget of this film is not high, but many Paramount executives have high hopes for this film. They all hope that the "Godfather" series can be revitalized in the hands of Lin Mu, Francis Ford, and Kind Bola, and they hope that Lin Mu can re-tap the market potential of the "Godfather" series and make it another golden sign of Paramount after "Pirates of the Caribbean".

There are actually not many Chinese actors who are suitable to play the leading role in this film, and the Chinese actors recognized by Hollywood audiences are all known for kung fu movies, and Lin Mu portrays a role that pays attention to acting skills and connotation expression, so Lin Mu first thought of Zhou Runfa.
