"If you say that, I can't see this singer anymore. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Hearing Lin Mu say this, David Geffen suddenly became interested, Lin Mu is famous for his eye for people in Hollywood. He dared to use many previously unknown stars, and this courage and insight were the most admired by David Geffen, so he wanted to know if the singers discovered by Lin Mu were as full of potential as the movie stars he discovered.

David Geffen agreed to meet the singer Lin Mu was talking about, and then the two talked about the development of the newly formed DreamWorks. "We've been around for a while, and you and Spielberg have been busy for a while, but now should you think about the development of the new company?" David Geffen's meaning is clear, DreamWorks has been around for a while, and the company is now running properly and is fully equipped to make a movie.

According to the division of labor at the beginning of the company's establishment, Geffen was responsible for management, Spielberg was responsible for production, and Lin Mu was responsible for finding suitable script investment. David Geffen mentioned it on the phone, and Lin Mu had to explain it to him. DreamWorks wants to make a name for itself in Hollywood, where the first film produced is particularly important, and Lin Mu is also cautious on this issue, because he has not found a suitable script, so the release of a new film has been delayed. "What do you think of us making a cartoon?"

"Cartoons?" David Geffen hesitated on the other end of the phone, "You can't fall in love with Pixar's animation studio, do you?" ”

"Oh, Geffen, I suddenly feel like it's a real pleasure to talk to you!" In David Geffen's words, Lin Mu did set his sights on Pixar Animation Studio, which had just been listed on the NASDAQ in New York, and he was about to discuss this matter with David Geffen, but he didn't expect David Geffen to have such a keen business sense and such a partner, which made Lin Mu feel that he was the right choice to join DreamWorks in the first place.

"Will Pixar give up on Disney because of us?" On this issue, David Geffen is not as optimistic as Lin Mu.

"Let's buy the shares issued by Pixar Studios in the market first, and then talk to Pixar himself!" Lin Mu already had a very clear plan in his heart.

"Looks like you've been planning this for a long time!" David Geffen heard the meaning of ambition in Lin Mu's words.

"Pixar Animation Studio is a company with a lot of potential, and it was a mistake for ILM to sell it in the first place, as long as we form a partnership with this company, we have the capital to compete with Disney." Lin Mu said the analysis.

"So what are we waiting for?" Playing against Disney, that sounds like a good idea indeed, David Geffen feels himself suddenly excited, he is actually a person who loves adventure and challenges at heart.

After agreeing on the issue of working with Pixar, the two went on to discuss some details of the acquisition, and after hanging up the phone with David Geffen, Lin Mu then dialed Britney's house. The dial tone in the microphone rang, and the phone was connected, and then Lin Mu heard an impatient voice.

"This is Mr. Spears-Jamie's home, is it Mr. Excuse me?" It was Britney Spears who answered the phone.

"You're supposed to be in class at this point." Lin Mu thought that Britney would return to class when she returned home, but apparently his guess was wrong.

"They agreed not to have to go to class during this time, and in fact I've been practicing singing lately!" Britney also heard the sound of the woods, which made her overjoyed. Lin Mu called at this time, indicating that he had convinced the record company, and Britney felt that she was one step closer to her dream of stardom.

"Good, I think you're ready, aren't you?"

"Yes, I have a lot of confidence in myself now!" Britney loves to talk to Lin Mu, and even she doesn't know why.

"So would it be okay to have your father or mother answer the phone?" Lin Mu is going to discuss with them about Britney's interview in New York.

"Dad is at work, I'll let Mom answer the phone!" Britney was excited like a bunny who had been jumping around, while her younger sister, Jamie Lynn, who was less than four years old, stood aside and looked at her sister who was behaving abnormally, "Britney, are you talking to your boyfriend on the phone?" She grabbed the corner of her sister's clothes and asked in a childish voice.

"Jamie, go to the kitchen and help me call my mommy!" Jamie's presence just in time allowed Britney to find a helper, and she now has enough reason to stay by the phone and continue chatting with Lin Mu.

"You haven't answered my question yet?" The little sister still refuses to give up.

"Okay, Jamie, I'm on the phone with someone important, can you help me get my mom over?" Britney patiently coaxed her sister.

"Is it more important than a boyfriend?"

"Yes, Jamie, can you get my mom here for me?" The younger sister is so messing around, which makes Britney a little angry.

"Okay!" The little sister finally let her go, and she ran into the kitchen quickly, "Mommy, my sister said that someone more important than her boyfriend wants to talk to you!" ”

Britney didn't bother to pay attention to her sister's nonsense, she was going to seize this time to chat with Lin Mu for a while. "Uncle, you said you would go to New York soon, so I started to prepare seriously early on, but I read in the newspaper that you actually ran to Hong Kong!"

"I'm not going to Hong Kong for tourism, and the company's crew had some problems when filming there, so I had to rush over to deal with it, and wouldn't it be more sure if I had more time to prepare?" On the phone, Lin Mu understood Britney's petty temperament.

"I don't care, this time my uncle has to compensate me!" Britney pouted angrily.

"Häagen-Dazs ice cream again?" Lin Mu asked speechlessly.

"This time it's to watch a Lakers game with me, I used to like the Bulls, but now I've changed my mind!" Britney came up with a new trick this time.

Lin Mu still remembers the incident at Staples Arena vividly, and Britney accidentally pulled at his sore spot, and his voice suddenly became cold. "No, I've been busy lately!"

"Is Uncle angry?" Only then did Britney realize that she seemed to have said the wrong thing, "Actually, it shouldn't be to watch the Lakers' game, and I also like the Dodgers' baseball game!" ”

"If the record company is willing to release an album for you, I promise you to accompany you to the Dodgers!" Lin Mu quickly adjusted his emotions.

"Okay, you have to count!" Britney's happy cheers came from the other end of the phone, but Lin Mu himself had a headache, this little girl was still a big trouble.

The chat between the two finally ended because of the arrival of Britney's mother, Lin Mu told her the specific time of the interview, and heard that it was the famous Geffen record company, and Britney's mother was also very happy. They agreed to meet in New York in two days, and then Lin Mu hung up the phone in a hurry, he was really afraid that Britney might think of some strange request if they continued to talk like this.

Britney's mother accompanied her to the interview, and because her mother was around, Britney didn't act out of the ordinary, but when she arrived at the Geffen record headquarters, Britney's mother went to the bathroom, which gave Britney and Lin Mu a chance to be alone for a short time.

"Uncle, are you familiar with the chairman of Geffen Records?" Lin Mu was in a meeting when they arrived, and his assistant received them warmly, and Britney could see that the assistant was very respectful to Lin Mu, so she deduced that Lin Mu was probably good friends with the chairman of the record label.

"I am a business partner with Mr. Geffen, but it is not my personal relationship with Geffen that can really help you stay in the record company, but your own strength!" Lin Mu reminded Britney that she was just an introducer, and whether she left anyone in the end depended on the attitude of the record company.

"Is Mr. Geffen married?" Britney asked suddenly.

"Why do you ask this?" Lin Mu looked at her suspiciously, "Mr. Geffen has no children, and he is still single!" ”

"Will you come with me to the interview?" Britney made such a request.

"Why?"

"Aren't you worried that a pure and lovely beautiful girl like me will be beaten by some bad people with bad intentions?" Britney said angrily.

"I don't have the slightest worry about that!" Lin Mu was amused by the cute expression on Britney's face, "In fact, if you can make Mr. Geffen feel that way about you, you shouldn't have any problems staying in this company!" ”

"Uncle is so bad, I ignore you!" Britney's angry look is so cute.

"I'm always angry, but my face will have wrinkles!" Lin Mu smiled and said, "Geffen is a good comrade, I can guarantee that no normal man can be as 'polite' to a lady as he is!" ”

Although Lin Mu didn't know much about the record industry, Geffen invited him to an interview with Britney. Geffen brought in Eric Frost White, the big-name musician who produced music for Boys Zone, Hi-Five and Whitney Houston. Another judge was the famous Swedish producer Max Martin, who is also a big name in the music scene, producing and packaging "Backstreet Boys", Swedish group "FBASE", Robin and "Superboy". Geffen introduced the two judges to Lin Mu one by one, and Lin Mu didn't know much about the record industry, so he didn't know the fame of the two of them. But for Lin Mu, Eric Furst White and Max Martin are no strangers, this Hollywood man of the year, is famous in the entire entertainment industry, and Lin Mu's identity is not only the chairman of Paramount, but also the executive director of Viacom, this company is considered to be a giant in the American entertainment industry. Neither of them expected to see Lin Mu here.

They first listened to the tape that Britney had brought before, and her sweet voice made both Eric Furst White and Max Martin feel bright, and the two looked at each other, and they had already made a preliminary rating of Britney in their hearts.

"I'm curious how Mr. discovered this girl's musical talent!" The two real judges didn't interview Britney immediately after listening to her recording. Max Martin asked Lin Mu, who was sitting next to him, such a question.

"Actually, I don't know much about the record industry, I think this girl is good mainly because she has a very star temperament and is very suitable for starring in musical movies." Lin Mu casually made an excuse.

"Star temperament?" Eric Furst White looked at Lin Mu with some confusion, he didn't know what kind of standard Lin Mu's so-called "star temperament" was. "Can you elaborate on that?"

"Maybe the two judge whether a singer is worth it mainly from the perspective of professional singing, and what I mean by star temperament is actually more about commercial factors. I don't think record companies and film companies know anything about what they do, but they basically use the same way to make commercial profits. Relying on box office and record sales is not the only way to make money, whether it is a movie star or a singer, advertising and sponsorship are a big profit. In fact, in the business community, packaging is very important for a star. I think that the packaging of pop music for singers is like the promotion of commercial films, all needs are directly oriented to the audience, and everything must be market-oriented. I am optimistic about this girl because I think she is very suitable for commercial packaging, which I believe you will feel the same after meeting her in person. Lin Mu glanced at Geffen, who clearly agreed with his own statement.

"What do you two think of this girl's voice?" Geffen asked.

"Her voice has a lot of potential, but obviously she needs to be trained systematically!" Max Martin initially agreed with Britney.

"Then let's see what this girl can surprise us today!" The attitude of the two professional judges made Geffen look forward to Britney's upcoming on-site interview.

Britney Spears performed a very youthful song and dance, and the 14-year-old girl showed off her singing and dancing skills to several judges on stage. She was a little nervous before, after all, she had to face a very professional review of the record company, but she saw that Lin Mu was also sitting on the judges' seat, and the only trace of apprehension was thrown out of the clouds. Britney Spears looked relaxed, and she felt that she had done a great job in this interview.

It's not just herself who feels this way, but the judges below are very satisfied with her performance. Lin Mu saw Eric Furst White next to him change his previous opinion from B to A on the judging form. Lin Mu also has such a table in his hand, and he knows that B is a representative who recommends signing a contract, and A is a direct signing. The opinions of several judges are surprisingly unanimous, and in Lin Mu's opinion, Britney's signing with Geffen Records is already a sure thing. (To be continued.) )
