The turmoil caused by the end of the "Prison Break" episode finally calmed down after the collective protests of fans, but Lin Mu's mood did not relax because of this, and he now has new troubles. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Compared with "Prison Break", "Friends", which has been launched for five consecutive seasons, has a wider impact on the TV series viewership. Although the original "Friends" was serialized for a total of 10 seasons, Lin Mu actually had the idea of ending the series early at this time, especially this "Prison Break" fan turmoil reminded him that the end of "Friends" is also a problem that will be faced sooner or later, and Lin Mu is not a person who likes to leave problems to the future.
The previous episodes of "Friends" were all obtained by Lin Mu after processing and sorting out the memories of later generations, and the more he went to the back, the more he felt the lack of materials, and there were few things that could be used in his memory, which made him have to start thinking about the final fate of "Friends".
Finally, it was a story solitaire in a magazine that inspired Lin Mu, and he could have brainstormed and collected plot materials through similar means, after all, his life experience was limited, and his life level also determined that he could not live more ordinary life materials. This idea was finally put into practice after careful consideration by Lin Mu.
Lin Mu's initial attempt was still very cautious, and he only published the idea of soliciting plots from the audience in the newspaper column in his personal name. The notice was placed on a very inconspicuous page of the newspaper as he requested, but the effect was very surprising to him. The newspaper received more than 1,000 letters from readers within a week, and looking at the stack of half-human-high envelopes transferred from the newspaper's editorial office, Lin Mu felt that he had to read them all one by one, and he was afraid that he would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.
During his tenure as Chief of the General Staff of the Prussian Army, Moltke reformed the General Staff on the basis of the achievements of his predecessors and won the high trust of the king with his extraordinary talents, so that the General Staff gained the command of the army, pushed the Prussian General Staff to its heyday, and became a model for Europe and the world at that time. Moltke pointed out that in history, some commanders did not need other people's ideas, but thought about the problem for themselves, made up their own minds, and the people around them only carried out their will. But this kind of superstar is rare to emerge in a hundred years. "In most cases, military instructors need advisers," he said, and "it is very important for an army to form a command."
Moltke's reform of the German General Staff gave Lin Mu a great inspiration, and he felt that he needed to form a special team of screenwriters to bring together talents from all walks of life to complete the creation of the script. This team of screenwriters, like the General Staff of the German army, is made up of talents from all walks of life. In this way, the work of creating the script can be decomposed, and the historical evidence, material collection, plot conception, and detail modification can be taken care of by specialized people, as long as they see each other and form a certain tacit understanding, the creative efficiency of the script will be greatly improved. One person can't achieve the mass production of a script, but one team can do it. As long as he is the final checker, the quality of the script can be guaranteed. Lin Mu's idea is somewhat similar to the assembly line production of a factory, except that he wants to produce a script instead of a car.
This idea directly gave birth to the idea of Lin Mu to set up a completely independent screenwriting studio of his own, and he looked at the mountains of letters from enthusiastic viewers in the living room, and felt that he had to act immediately. Through various channels, he began to search for talents who are good at screenwriting. His criteria are simple, young people under the age of 30, creative and thoughtful, have already joined the team. To this end, Lin Mu also personally visited his alma mater, and the president who had personally awarded him a degree certificate warmly received him, and the president promised him that he would definitely recommend the best screenwriting talent at UCLA to him.
Soon, 10 young screenwriters who have been selected through layers of selection have gathered in Los Angeles from all over the United States, most of them are the same age as Lin Mu, on their faces, Lin Mu saw all kinds of expressions, but many of them had some dazed faces, and many of them didn't know what Lin Mu wanted to do when he brought them together. Therefore, at the first meeting, Lin Mu clearly emphasized the nature of this team to all members.
"The fact that you have been able to come here after layers of screening shows that your talent in screenwriting is beyond doubt. But I'm sure a lot of people have doubts about why I'm bringing you together, and that's what I want to make to you. ”
"First of all, welcome to the X-*** Screenwriter Studio, I will be working with you to complete a lot of scripts for a long time in the future, the only thing I want to emphasize is that you are my teammates, not my personal hired writers, I set up this studio to gather the wisdom of everyone to create better scripts. In the future, Hollywood will no longer see scripts with signatures, and people only remember x-***, this studio belongs to me and to all of you! ”
"X is the first letter of my name, *** is the English abbreviation of teammadedream, team achieves dreams, this is the highest creed of X-***!" Lin Mu finally explained to them the origin of the studio's name. And there were ten young people in the audience, who were obviously moved by his words. In Hollywood, it is actually difficult to mix up in the screenwriting industry, no matter how good the film is, the audience only remembers the actors and directors, as behind-the-scenes workers, few screenwriters can have a dazzling halo on their heads like those big directors and big stars, but Lin Mu is undoubtedly an exception. Many of them, when they signed up for this studio, they all came for Lin Mu's name, they hoped that they could be favored by this Hollywood star screenwriter, and Lin Mu's words undoubtedly made them see hope.
"So what kind of work are we going to do when we join this studio?" Finally, a young man couldn't help but stand up.
"You're Nowell Rick, a graduate of Harvard University's Department of History, and a great student of ancient literature!" Lin Mu reported the questioner's information in one go, which made the young man named Rick very excited, he didn't expect Lin Mu to have memorized his name.
"Yes, sir!"
"Very well, your job is to conduct the necessary historical research for some historical scripts, than to review the entire script, to prevent some historical mistakes in the whole work!" Lin Mu looked at Rick, "This work may only be done by you alone now, but in the future you will become the leader of this working group, of course, if you have a satisfactory performance!" ”
"What about me?" Another young man stood up impatiently.
"Thompson-Jamie, right?" Lin Mu reported his name without thinking, "You need to be in charge of another important job with Martor William, there should be no problem with that!" His gaze fell on a flat-faced young man in the back row, "What do you say, Mr. Masor William?" ”
"I'm not interested in working with anyone, but I want to know what I need to do!" Mahor William has a cold look, which is in stark contrast to Thompson Jamie's cheerful personality.
"What you need to do is to collect the writing materials for the script, any story with ideas and ideas, you are the object of collection, the reason why your work is important is because you are the source of the creation of the whole studio, do you have any other questions?"
The two shook their heads at the same time, and at this point, they had shown an amazing tacit understanding.
"Very well, Lucard Evan, James Houston, Lincoln Jarry, Bob Lanumi, the four of you will be responsible for the conception of the plot of the script, while the three of you will be responsible for the final details of the script, including grammatical errors!" Lin Mu called out everyone's names, and after he had assigned all the work, everyone knew clearly what they were responsible for.
"I will do the final editing and review of the script, and this division of labor is distributed according to your expertise and specialty, and you need to always remember that you are a whole and not writing alone, so it is very important for you to cooperate and cooperate with each other. I know you're all coming to Hollywood with a dream, so I hope this team will be able to make your dreams come true in the end! Please keep in mind our credo, only a team can achieve your dreams! Lin Mu concluded by emphasizing the issue of cooperation between all members, which he believes is the key to the success or failure of the studio.
"So do we have any specific work now?" Thompson-Jamie is an anxious man, and Lin Mu has just finished his assignment and he is ready to try.
"I'm glad Mr. Jamie brought up this issue!" Lin Mu pointed to the two large cardboard boxes placed at the door, "X-***'s most urgent job now is to create a sequel to "Friends", and those are all letters from enthusiastic readers, and they are all interesting life materials, so Jamie, the first job for you and William is to sort out the valuable materials of these letters, and then give them to Evan and their group to build the basic plot!" ”
"That's a lot, that's probably a thousand letters!" Thompson-Jamie began to regret being assigned to the group responsible for the material arrangement.
"In fact, this is only a small part of it, and many more letters are still piled up in the newspaper office, and they will pack them and send them here!" Lin Mu said with a smile.
The studio was put into operation very efficiently, and in less than a week or two, Lin Mu received the plot construction sent by the screenwriter team, but it also exhausted Thompson Jamie and Marsol William, who read more than 5,000 letters from readers in less than a week and sifted through a large amount of usable material, which provided the basis for the screenwriter team's efficient plot construction. In terms of style, X-*** followed the humorous and funny route of the first five seasons of "Friends", but many novel plots still made Lin Mu's eyes shine, which made him feel that forming X-*** was a right decision.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" was released on New Year's Day, and Lin Mu's arrangement has the momentum to make this film a Hollywood New Year's drama. The film, which Hollywood fans were eagerly awaiting, did not disappoint, and if the record-breaking box office on the day of the film's release was the result of the producers' powerful publicity campaign, then the film's soaring box office receipts after its release completely dispelled all those who were skeptical about the film.
Shock! It's amazing! This is the biggest feeling most people have after watching this film, the majestic sea pursuit, the fantastical legendary pirate, the wonderful fight design, and the vivid special effects production all add a lot to this highest-budget film in Hollywood's history. As an important leading actor, Zhen Zidan's role in the film is very eye-catching, with fierce swordsmanship, amazing kung fu, and melancholy and cold eyes, so that all the audience remembers this action actor from China/China.
Zhen Zidan was already secretly glad that he had agreed to Lin Mu's invitation at this time, thanks to the hit screening of "Pirates of the Caribbean", his salary in Hollywood has soared from $100,000 to $4 million, which is already a well-deserved top among Chinese actors in Hollywood. "My husband came to Hong Kong and found me, and he thought I was suitable for Hollywood, and I was a little hesitant at the time, after all, I had already achieved some results in Hong Kong, but he finally convinced me. He fulfilled all his promises, and I received accolades that I never thought I could have received before! In the eyes of professionals, the fighting action designed by Yuan Heping for this film is undoubtedly groundbreaking, and he successfully integrated the moves of Chinese/Chinese kung fu into this purely Western magic movie. In fact, this means that the value of Chinese/Chinese kung fu has been discovered by many Hollywood people of insight, which has also set off a trend of Hollywood gold panning in Hong Kong and the mainland. It can be said that a "Pirates of the Caribbean" made Hollywood begin to recognize and actively accept film elements from Eastern culture, which also made Yuan Heping admire Lin Mu's foresight even more.
"Lam's vision is undoubtedly admirable, and he persuaded James Cameron to work with me, knowing that convincing a big Hollywood director to accept a little-known Hong Kong action director is not an easy job, because James Cameron is a discerning director. The integration of Chinese/Chinese kung fu into Hollywood movies is a bold attempt for both the director and the producer, Mr. James Cameron, and fortunately we succeeded in the end!
