Zou Wenhuai welcomed Lin Mu's arrival, and he has been looking for a partnership with Hollywood studios, which is an important part of his efforts to bring Golden Harvest to the international stage. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAlthough Lin Mu said that he only came to learn some Hong Kong/Hong Kong movies from Zou Wenhuai in his personal capacity, Zou Wenhuai personally did not see it that way. He paid no less attention to the woods than Run Run Shaw. He knew that Lin Mu was a powerful figure in Paramount, and he was very trusted by the boss behind the scenes, Sanam Lei Shidong, so he believed that Lin Mu would not come to Hong Kong for no reason.

Zou Wenhuai introduced some of the current situation of Jiahe like Lin Mu, and he did not shy away from the difficulties that Jiahe is now encountering, in terms of funds, due to Zou Wenhuai's large investment in Hong Kong/Hong Kong real estate, the company's capital chain is very tight. This is also an important reason why he is eager to open up the international market and share more lucrative market benefits. He even invited Lin Mu to visit Golden Harvest's studio, some film production links, Zou Wenhuai let Lin Mu visit freely, in his opinion, Golden Harvest's studio and Paramount's film and television base in Hollywood are not comparable at all, Zou Wenhuai knows that Lin Mu must have other plans to come to him this time.

As he expected, Lin Mu did not have much interest in the filming process of Golden Harvest films, and on the way out of the studio, Lin Mu finally proposed to him the idea of renting a few martial arts instructors and kung fu actors to Hollywood for filming.

"I can give you martial arts instruction, but the actor is resolutely not!" Zou Wenhuai did not fully agree to Lin Mu's request, he knew that except for Cheng Long, Lin Mu would not be interested in other actors, but Cheng Long is now in the "honeymoon period" of cooperation with Golden Harvest, and Zou Wenhuai certainly does not want Cheng Long to develop in Hollywood now. But at the same time, he was also a little worried, because he couldn't stop Lin Mu from going to Cheng Long, between Paramount and Jiahe, Cheng Long would definitely lean towards the former.

"Martial arts instructor, I only need one Yuan Heping!" Lin Mu made another request, he was originally ready to deal with Zou Wenhuai's lion mouth, but he didn't expect Zou Wenhuai to agree to his request Cheng Long very easily, but he also put forward a condition, Lin Mu could not go to Cheng Long at this time. Zou Wenhuai also abandoned the car to protect him, he knew that in two years, even if Lin Mu didn't go to find Cheng Long, Jiahe wouldn't be able to keep him. But compared with Yuan Heping, Cheng Long has a greater role in the current Jiahe.

Cheng Long was not on the list of actors that Lin Mu was eager to recruit, so Lin Mu easily agreed to Zou Wenhuai's conditions. Accompanied by Zou Wenhuai, Lin Mu finally met the famous martial arts director Yuan Heping. After getting to know each other, Zou Wenhuai left under the pretext of having a trip in advance, leaving enough space for Lin Mu and Yuan Heping to talk.

"I'm curious, since Mr. Lin chose to work with Golden Harvest, why did he first think of a martial arts instructor instead of a kung fu actor?" Yuan Heping asked curiously, he was not familiar with Lin Mu, but the character who could let Zou Wenhuai personally accompany him was probably not simple. So when he learned that Lin Mu was the vice chairman of Paramount, he first thought of such a question. In his opinion, if he goes to Hollywood to develop, Cheng Long has more development potential than himself, because actors are always easier to be remembered by the audience than behind-the-scenes production.

To put it bluntly, the actor is just a prop in the director's hands. Even those famous movie stars are just a relatively expensive prop in the eyes of the director. Chinese/Chinese actors may be able to quickly gain the recognition of the audience when they come to Hollywood, but they cannot fundamentally change the film pattern of Hollywood. Only the director is the soul of the movie, if you can only see Chinese/Chinese actors on the Hollywood stage, but you can't see Chinese/Chinese directors, then Chinese films will not be able to really enter Hollywood. "Lin Mu is thinking about the long-term development of Chinese films in Hollywood." Of course, I also admit that an excellent actor has a strong appeal, which is very helpful for the promotion of Chinese films in the early days, but Chinese movies, except for Bruce Lee, no one can replace them, and the others are not unique! ”

Yuan Heping didn't feel any embarrassment after a conversation with Lin Mu, and after a conversation with Lin Mu, he immediately put away his contempt, he found that Lin Mu's understanding of movies was deeper than that of many directors he had met before, especially in the idea of action movies, Lin Mu's thinking was much bolder than him. Yuan Heping was very interested in the shooting method of "Western special effects + Eastern kung fu" proposed by Lin Mu, and the two chatted very speculatively, and the two sides had the feeling of seeing each other late.

Zou Wenhuai was willing to release people, and Yuan Heping naturally had no reason to refuse Lin Mu, but he still had some work on hand that had not yet been completed, so he couldn't go back to the United States with Lin Mu immediately.

After solving the problem of action direction, Lin Mu had to start thinking about the problem of action actors, and the first thing he thought of was Li Lianjie. But he wasn't sure if he would be able to convince the kung fu emperor. Li Lianjie is already a kung fu movie star on the same level as Cheng Long in the Chinese film industry, but if he goes to Hollywood, Lin Mu can only let him play a supporting role at first. Lin Mu remembered that Li Lianjie didn't seem to have played any supporting roles since his debut, and Lin Mu was worried that he would find it difficult to accept such conditions. In Asia, he is a high-profile kung fu superstar, while in Hollywood, he is just an ordinary Chinese actor, and the gap between the two is not something that all actors can accept calmly.

As early as the successful release of "Jingwu Heroes" in North America, Li Lianjie noticed Lin Mu, and he was also very interested in this young Hollywood executive, but he politely refused Lin Mu's kind invitation after thinking about it again. Li Lianjie's reaction did not surprise Lin Mu, Li Lianjie had tried to enter Hollywood before and participated in several movies, but the result was not ideal. The popularity of "Jingwu Hero" in Asia has pushed his popularity in the Chinese-language film industry to a peak, and Li Lianjie is preparing to strike while the iron is hot and continue to release several high-quality high-quality action movies. Huang Zhiqiang, who had just finished filming "Serious Crime Unit", was preparing to shoot "Rat Guts", and the two hit it off, and the film has entered the stage of preparation.

But Li Lianjie is not willing to talk too hard, after all, the success of Hollywood movies around the world has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and if you want to achieve greater achievements internationally, Hollywood is the best choice. Li Lianjie feels that he will definitely go to Hollywood in the future, but now is not the most suitable time, and he still needs to continue to consolidate his position in the Chinese film industry.

The contact with Li Lianjie did not make any substantial progress, but Lin Mu didn't seem to be in a hurry, in fact, he already had a more suitable candidate in his heart. In his opinion, choosing an actor is like investing in stocks, you can only get the maximum benefit if you buy it at the beginning. So he thought of Zhen Zidan, and more importantly, Zhen Zidan is a Chinese-American, both Chinese and Western, and can speak fluent English, which is easy for Hollywood audiences to accept him.

With the decline of traditional kung fu movies, Yan Zidan turned to the Hong Kong/Hong Kong TV circle to develop, and has played many police roles with his good skills, and the most high-profile works should be "Hong Xiguan" and "Jingwumen". Because the former plays the well-known Qing Dynasty martial arts master Hong Xiguan, because Zhen Zidan has not studied Hong Boxing, but he uses his understanding of martial arts to figure out Hong Boxing, and his performance is remarkable and amazing. The latter is the TV version of the movie of the same name, because of the role Chen Zhen, who has been played by Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and many classic scenes in the movie are specially remade in the play, so that people who watched this TV series back then called Zhen Zidan Chen Zhen on the street.

At this time, Zhen Zidan has a great reputation in the Chinese film and television industry, but he is not well known in the world, and his potential is one of the important reasons why Lin Mu takes a fancy to him, of course, Yuan Heping also recommended Zhen Zidan to Lin Mu. After Zhen Zidan returned to the United States in 1982, he participated in the American regional martial arts competition and won the championship. On his way back to the United States, he passed through Hong Kong and was introduced to the famous director Yuan Heping. Yuan Heping was looking for a new screen hero, and after meeting Zhen Zidan, he knew that he had found it, and the two began a long-term cooperation.

Under Yuan Heping's introduction, Lin Mu met Zhen Zidan, who was just in his early 30s. But Zhen Zidan himself doesn't know much about Lin Mu, Lin Mu has become famous in the United States in recent years, and Zhen Zidan has come to Hong Kong to develop at this time, so he doesn't know how much influence the young man sitting in front of him has in Hollywood. Yuan Heping just told a Hollywood producer that he wanted to meet him, and at first Zhen Zidan thought that Lin Mu was the translator of the American producer.

"This is Mr. Lin, the current vice chairman of Paramount Pictures, I don't think there should be much difficulty in communicating between you, because Mr. Lin is a Chinese American like you." Yuan Heping told Zhen Zidan the identity of Lin Mu. Seeing that the other party was still at a loss, Yuan Heping specially added, "Mr. Lin is the screenwriter of "Brave Heart"!" ”

Vice president of Paramount, writer of Braveheart? Zhen Zidan felt that it was difficult for him to connect these two identities with the young man in front of him, and he knew that no matter which one of them, it could not be achieved by luck.

If Lin Mu's identity was enough to surprise Zhen Zidan, then Yuan Heping's next words made him even more dumbfounded. "Mr. Lin has won two Oscars in a row, and the best picture at the Oscars in Qu and Jin is a script written by him, and he is also an excellent producer!"

"Hello, Mr. Zhen!" Zhen Zidan didn't react from Yuan Heping's words for a while, but Lin Mu took the initiative to greet him.

"Hello!" Zhen Zidan no longer dares to underestimate the young man in front of him, he grew up in the United States and knows how difficult it is for a Chinese to be recognized by mainstream American society, and Lin Mu not only did it, but also won a lot of respect. A Chinese can achieve such an achievement, Zhen Zidan is ashamed of himself.

"I know that Mr. Yan Zidan's development in Hong Kong is not very smooth, and Hong Kong movies have begun to decline, I wonder if you are willing to seek new development in Hollywood?" Lin Mu went straight to the point and made his intentions clear.

"Hollywood movies don't seem to favor Chinese actors." Zhen Zidan voiced her concerns.

"Things can be done little by little, and concepts can also be changed little by little, I believe that things are done by people!" Lin Mu believes that difficulties are not a reason, "And I know that Mr. Zhen is not only good at acting, but Mr. Yuan Heping told me that you are also very talented in action design, which is exactly what I value!" ”

"Will I be able to get a movie right away when I arrive in the U.S.?" Zhen Zidan asked directly.

"Yes, but it can only be a supporting role at first." Lin Mu told the truth.

"And when can I play the lead role?" Zhen Zidan asked again.

"After you have made a certain reputation in Hollywood, you will return to Hong Kong, and good directors and movies will come to your door!" Lin Mu told Zhen Zidan that Hollywood is just a platform for him to enhance his international influence, and he will ultimately rely on Chinese movies to realize his value.

"Can you guarantee that my role in a supporting role will also attract international attention?" Zhen Zidan was still a little wavering.

"Now Paramount only produces high-quality products!" Lin Mu's expression didn't look like he was joking with Zhen Zidan.

"How can I believe what you're saying?" Zhen Zidan was still a little worried.

"If this were in Hollywood, no one would ask you such a question!" Lin Mu told Zhen Zidan with a smile that because in Hollywood, no one would doubt his ability.

Lin Mu had only been in Hong Kong for four days, and Sanam Lei Shidong was sorry to call that Viacom was going to hold an urgent board meeting, so Lin Mu's vacation had to end early. But Sanam-Lei Shidong was still very concerned about Lin Mu's emotional problems, and he specifically mentioned this on the phone, and Lin Mu's reaction finally put his hanging heart down. Although Sanam-Lei Shidong didn't know what happened to Lin Mu during this period, he came to the conclusion that this young man had come out of the shadow of broken love from Lin Mu's relaxed tone.

Lin Mu has not yet found any suitable role for Zhen Zidan, but the two have reached a verbal agreement, as long as Lin Mu has a suitable script in hand, Zhen Zidan will immediately rush to the United States. And it will take a while for Yuan Heping to finish dealing with the affairs at hand, and he can't leave Hong Kong for the time being, so Lin Mu finally left Hong Kong by himself and ended his trip to Asia.

Back in the United States, Lin Mu put all his thoughts into his work, he didn't lose his temper at people, the gentle Lin Mu seemed to be back again, but people who have been with him for a long time will find that Lin Mu has changed some times after returning from Asia, but what it is, no one can say. Julia Roberts can still be seen in the newspapers, but it is all news such as film and television news. After breaking up with Lin Mu, Julia Roberts doesn't seem to have any plans to find a new boyfriend. Although Lin Mu is now able to face this defeat very calmly, the secretary of the office is still very clever to "filter" the news about Julia Roberts in the newspaper before sending it into his office.
