This was a very lame excuse, and Britney naturally didn't believe it, "Sir, it's not the behavior of a gentleman like you to lie to a little girl!" ā
"Running away from home without permission is not something a little girl should do, do you know how dangerous it is?" Lin Mu deliberately changed the subject. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ ć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"My parents didn't really understand what I thought, they always used the standards of their peers to constrain me, but I knew that I was different from the kids around me, I wanted to be a big star, and one day I would make the world swing to the music like Madonna and Michael Jackson!" Britney proudly told Lin Mu about her lofty goals.
"But you also never really understood your parents!" Lin Mu said earnestly. "I can introduce you to a record label, but only with your family's permission. If you want to be a big star, the first thing you need to do now is give your family a call and tell them where you are! ā
"Why should I get their permission for my own future?" Britney, despite her mature appearance, is still an adolescent rebellious child.
"Because of their permission, you came to this world!" Lin Mu's words carried an unquestionable tone, "I'm not used to talking to a person who is not legally capable of any questions about her future, so I must talk to your legal guardian first!" ā
"But Iā" Before Britney could finish speaking, Lin Mu interrupted her, "No one in Hollywood is stupid enough to negotiate terms with me, I hope you don't be that stupid!" ā
Ever since he met Britney, Lin Mu has been lame everywhere, and finally has the upper hand, so he can't help Britney continue to mess around. Accompanied by Lin Mu, Britney honestly made a phone call home, and her parents flew to Los Angeles in three hours. Britney's father, Jamie, is an engineering contractor, and her mother, Lynn, is a teacher. Britney is the second eldest in the family, she has an older brother Brin who is 4 years older than her and a younger sister Jamie Lynn, who is 10 years younger than her, and it is a harmonious well-off family.
"Britney, you're causing trouble for this uncle again!" Britney's mother saw that her daughter returned to her side intact, and she was naturally grateful to Lin Mu as a "whistleblower".
"Uncle?" Britney Wood's name for him made Lin Mu feel depressed, he was obviously only 23 years old, could he really look old?
And Britney was even amused by her mother's title, "Mom, she is less than ten years older than me, and she is an older brother at most!" But he does look a lot like an uncle, right, brother? She winked maliciously at the woods.
When did he become an older brother again? Lin Mu looked at a mother and daughter, and felt like he couldn't cry or laugh for a while.
"Britney, come home with us!" Jamie, his father, who had been standing next to him, suddenly spoke.
"No, I'm going to sing!" Britney shook her head stubbornly.
"MMC is disbanded, you should go back to the classroom now!" Jamie has a headache for this rebellious daughter.
"I don't like to stay in school, the stage is my classroom!" Britney replied loudly.
"Baby, you're still young, can we talk about it when we graduate from high school?" Mother Lynn obviously knew her daughter better, she patiently persuaded her.
"But he promised to introduce me to the record company, and he said that I would become a big star, but he said that I can only join the record company with your consent, if you don't believe me, you can ask him!" Britney finally took out the forest as a shield.
Lin Mu agreed to introduce Britney to the record company, but he didn't say anything about Britney becoming a big star, and Britney obviously put the blame on him when she said this. Sure enough, when she said this, her parents thought that Lin Mu was bewitching her nearest daughter, according to her daughter, the Chinese young man in front of her was only 23 years old, and he probably hadn't found a stable job recently at his age, so why could he recommend Britney to the record company.
"Sir, I don't know what you said to my daughter, we are grateful for helping us find our daughter, but you shouldn't deceive her, who do you think you are, it's very difficult to get a contract with a record company, do you think you think of yourself as the young Chinese president of Paramount?" Britney's father, Jamie, said very politely.
Britney's mother wasn't as excited as her husband, and Jamie's words reminded him, and she pulled her daughter aside, "Britney, isn't this gentleman you know the same Mr. Lin, the president of Paramount, who just won an Oscar?" ā
"Mom, you're so much smarter than Dad!" Britney looked at her father with some schadenfreude.
"This is my business card, and I think if I don't understand it wrong, you're worthy of that person is me!" Lin Mu felt that he was really helpless, and believed that when a person accuses you with yourself, all people will feel like this.
Jamie handed over the business card to Lin Mu, who was suspicious, and the name of Lin Mu was impressively printed with the words of Viacom's executive director and chairman of the board of directors of Paramount Pictures Group, "Are you really Mr. Lin?" ā
"Do you think it's necessary for me to joke with you about something like this?" Lin Mu asked rhetorically.
"So what my daughter said is true?" Jamie tried to ask.
"Miss Britney's statement is correct for the most part, I agreed to introduce her to a record company, but in the end I can't guarantee whether the record company will keep her, and that's why I brought you two here, this kind of thing can only be decided by Miss Britney's guardian!"
Lin Mu's formal statement finally made Jamie believe his words, but he still had a question, "Are you very optimistic about my daughter?" ā
"I don't know much about the record industry, and whether I can sign a contract in the end depends on the attitude of the record company! I met your daughter at the station, Britney's bold and lively personality attracted me, and it just so happened that I knew the owner of Geffen Records, so I decided to give Britney a chance to show herself! Lin Mu was a little vague about how he met Britney, but Jamie, who was familiar with his daughter's personality, still heard some clues from his words.
"Britney is in trouble for you!" Jamie was embarrassed.
"Actually, Britney, a little girl, has a lot of potential to be a star, so I personally suggest that she give it a try!" Lin Mu didn't forget to say a good word for Britney in the end.
"We'll take your suggestion seriously!" Jamie replied very sincerely.
At this time, Britney and her mother also came over, and seeing her father's polite attitude towards Lin Mu, Britney knew that he already knew Lin Mu's identity. "Uncle, have you convinced my dad?" Britney found this title interesting, and she decided not to call Brother Linmu.
"Let your father answer this question!" Lin Mu made a look that he didn't care about himself, and Britney's brother and uncle screamed for a while, which made him very helpless.
"Britney, Mr. has already had a serious conversation with me, and I agree that you will try it at the record company, but not now, and he will notify you to go to the interview next time you go to New York!" Jamie said seriously.
"Are you sure you're not lying to me?" Britney didn't believe her father's words.
"I can testify to that for Mr. Jamie!" Lin Mu interjected at the right time.
"When are you going to New York, uncle?" Britney couldn't wait to ask.
"It should be in the near future, I will inform your parents of the details!" Lin Mu didn't tell Britney that he was going to New York for a meeting tomorrow, and he was expected to stay there for a while. After only half a day of getting along with Britney, Lin Mu already felt a headache, and he knew that once he told Britney, it would be a big trouble that he couldn't get rid of.
Sending Britney away, Lin Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief, he could handle it easily in front of so many peerless stunners in Hollywood, but he couldn't help a minor girl, which made Lin Mu feel very shameless. If it weren't for the fact that Britney would also be a beautiful woman who would be fascinated by death in the future, his self-confidence would probably have been severely hit.
At the headquarters of Viacom, New York, the special meeting of the directors was held for two days, and the preparation of the speech alone made Lin Mu scramble. When Lin Mu was done, the crew in Hong Kong came with bad news again, Cheng Long was accidentally injured during the acting, although it was not very serious, but it would be delayed for a week or two, and director Tom Shadiak was very worried about this. After this incident, no matter how busy Lin Mu was, he had to fly to Hong Kong in person to appease people, and visited Cheng Long's injuries by the way.
Lin Mu was only going to stay in Hong Kong for a day or two, but his whereabouts were accidentally leaked when he visited Cheng Long in the hospital, and Hong Kong Ji, who had seen Lin Mu in the United States, recognized the chairman of Paramount. For a time, the news of Lin Mu's arrival in Hong Kong was in an uproar, and all kinds of rumors came out in the newspapers, some said that Lin Mu came to Hong Kong to inspect the Chinese film market, some said that Lin Mu was secretly meeting with several well-known actors in Hong Kong, and there was even gossip that Lin Mu was preparing to buy a Hong Kong film company. Seeing these various reports in the hotel, Lin Mu's only feeling is that the imagination of the Hong Kong media is no less than that of his American counterpart.
However, the film "Detective Plane Head: Hong Kong Raiders" was filmed in Hong Kong, and the film boldly used a Hong Kong actress like Zhang Manyu as the protagonist, which in itself was a big shock to the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Combined with Lin Mu's previous official helm of Paramount, Hong Kong critics have predicted that Lin Mu is likely to expand Paramount Pictures' power to Hong Kong. The film "Detective Plane Head: Hong Kong Raiders" is Paramount's clarion call to enter the Hong Kong film market!
This has put a lot of pressure on several film companies in Hong Kong, whether in terms of capital or technology, Hong Kong film companies cannot compete with Paramount alone, and each film company is seeking its own way out. But there are only two paths in front of them, the current Paramount is like the powerful Qin State during the Warring States Period, and the Hong Kong film company is the other six countries, and they must make a choice. The powerful faction represented by Run Run Shaw called on Hong Kong films to unite and save themselves and resist foreign powers. This proposition was immediately supported by a number of small and medium-sized film companies. Under the conditions of the increasingly sluggish market, it is not easy for them to survive in the cracks of several major film companies in Hong Kong, and if Paramount comes to do this again, they are afraid that their lives will be even more difficult in the future.
However, there are many contradictions between several major film companies in Hong Kong, the newly established Huang Baiming's Dongfang, Xiang Huaqiang's Chinese star, Zhuang Cheng and Lin Jianyue's Media Asia have not expressed their position, Media Asia's Lin Xiaoming's attitude is wavering, and only Golden Harvest's Zou Wenhuai resolutely welcomes Lin Mu. Of all the film companies in Hong Kong, only Golden Harvest has cooperated with Paramount a few times, and with Zou Wenhuai's understanding of Lin Mu, he believes that if Lin Mu wants to defeat several other film companies, he does not need to directly enter the Hong Kong film market. As long as the big-name stars under these film companies are poached to Hollywood, Hong Kong film companies are afraid that they will not be able to withstand it. But Zou Wenhuai knew that Lin Mu had no intention of squeezing other film companies in Hong Kong, and after several contacts, Zou Wenhuai even felt that Lin Mu had the momentum of promoting the Chinese Film Festival. Especially after Zou Wenhuai secretly visited Lin Mu, he strengthened his previous thoughts. Lin Mu clearly told him that he has no plans to enter the Hong Kong film market at present, and Paramount's contact with Hong Kong films at this stage will only be based on cooperation!
Lin Mu's words reached the ears of the bosses of several other film companies through Zou Wenhuai, which made them all breathe a sigh of relief. But many unwitting Hong Kong actors are expecting Paramount to intervene in the Hong Kong film market. In their view, Paramount's arrival will undoubtedly intensify the competition between major film companies, and this competition will be very beneficial to the improvement of actors' remuneration packages regardless of who wins in the end. And this kind of thinking is not only Hong Kong actors, but also many filmmakers below the management level.
But those expectations eventually came true! ā
After the man in black left, the middle-aged man with glasses stared at the photo of Lin Mu in the newspaper with great interest, and the confusion in his heart did not diminish with the report of his subordinates, "Is it really just an ordinary businessman?" ā
Although Lin Mu was very busy, he did not forget the agreement with Britney, so as soon as he returned to the United States, he took the initiative to contact David Geffen. Geffen was surprised to learn that Lin Mu was going to recommend a singer to him. He joked with Lin Mu on the phone: "When did you change careers?" ā
"I think that girl is good, maybe she's the next Madonna!" Lin Mu has a lot of confidence in Britney. (To be continued.) )
