It has become a sure fact that Lin Mu won two stars in different fields at the same time on the Avenue of Stars, and because it involves sensitive political topics, the Organizing Committee of the Avenue of Stars has never made any remarks on this result, but the Western edition of the "Overseas Chinese Daily" reported that the fifteen members of the jury unanimously agreed to award stars to Lin Mu, which is relatively rare in the history of the Avenue of Stars. The news www.biquge.info the Pen, Fun, and Pavilion already illustrates the Committee's attitude.
Because it is a two-star both, Lin Mu's star awarding ceremony is particularly grand, not only many entertainment media pay attention to this matter, many supporters of Lin Mu's works also came to the scene, due to the number of people, but also once caused chaos in the order of the scene, the organizers had to send additional security guards to maintain the order of the scene.
Due to the intense filming of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, James Cameron could only congratulate Lin Mu by satellite phone, while Pirberg was present as a guest. Due to Lin Mu's special identity and good popularity, several film companies such as Universal, Warner Bros., MGM, and Columbia, which had worked with him before, have all made their own representatives, and as Paramount's own people won the award, Viacom's chairman of the board of directors Sanam Lei Shidong and Shirley Lansing attended Lin Mu's celebration ceremony together.
And it was not only these people who attended the celebration ceremony, but also the directors and stars who had worked with him before also came to cheer. Needless to say, Mel Gibson, a cutting-edge director boldly used by Lin Mu, agreed without the slightest hesitation after receiving Lin Mu's invitation. Luc Besson also discovered his directing talent from France by Lin Mu, and although he was preparing to make another film, he still found time to come over. And Robert Romiskey and Frank Durabont, who won the Oscar in one fell swoop for filming the script created by Lin Mu, naturally will not miss this opportunity to repay Lin Mu. It was because Lin Mu refused to accept the award for the first time that Martin Brest, the director of "Smelling a Woman", who had a grudge against him, also unexpectedly appeared at the celebration ceremony, which made Lin Mu very grateful.
Not only the directors are gathered, but Hollywood movie stars are not far behind, Tom Hanks who played the lead role in "Forrest Gump", Tim Robbins who played the banker Andy in "The Shawshank Redemption", and Jean Reno, the cold killer in "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", all appeared at the celebration ceremony. This kind of star lineup is simply a rehearsal for the Oscars, which is also rare in the entire history of the Walk of Fame.
The entire celebration was presided over by the Mayor Emeritus of Los Angeles, Johnny Grant, and the two rising stars belonging to Lin Mu were surrounded by the red carpet in the center, and all the guests and live audience stood around the red carpet. Lin Mu's two star numbers are very interesting, one is 2000, the other is 2001, which forms a certain degree of fit with the new century that is far away, and everyone present has a hunch that Lin Mu, the award-winning person who is not yet 24 years old, will lead the development of Hollywood in the new century.
Johnny Grant first read out the evaluation of Lin Mu by the Organizing Committee of the Avenue of Fame, "We have no doubt that Mr. Lin is an excellent filmmaker, just as we have never doubted his contribution to the TV drama industry. Our decision to award Lin two Rising Stars on the Walk of Fame at the same time is based on the love of all film and television audiences for his work and Mr. Lin's outstanding contribution to enhancing Hollywood's image and revitalizing the entertainment industry in recent years. ”
At Johnny Grant's motion, the staff carried the prepared template on the red carpet, "Mr. Lin, before you leave your palm prints, footprints and signatures here forever, should you express your feelings at this time?" There was no such thing as the ceremony, it was the one that Jonny Grant thought of temporarily, and he felt that Lin Mu should say a few words.
As a result, the microphone handed by Johnny Grant, Lin Mu was full of emotion, since he came to Los Angeles, he has visited this glorious road that records the achievements of the American entertainment industry countless times, he knows that his name will eventually appear on this road, but when the dream comes true, he still can't suppress the excitement in his heart. "To be able to stand side by side with so many wonderful people and decorate the splendid galaxy of Hollywood is the greatest recognition of my personal efforts. It's exciting and intimidating to be able to get two new stars at the same time, which means that I will have to work harder in the future to live up to my mark here. Thank you to the organizing committee of the Avenue of Stars for giving me such an honor, which is not only an affirmation of me personally, but also a driving force for me to keep moving forward! Lin Mu's words were plain and steady, and there was nothing surprising in them, but they were a true portrayal of his heart at this time.
Next, under the guidance of the staff, Lin Mu left his palm prints and footprints on the two templates, but when it came to signing, he encountered some trouble. The organizing committee of the Avenue of Fame wanted him to use his English name, because few Americans knew Lin Mu's Chinese name, but Lin Mu insisted on signing his Chinese name on both templates, and in order to take care of the organizers' feelings, he wrote his English name in a smaller font in front of and behind him.
Bruce Lee's commemorative star was added to the Avenue of Fame, and after two years, another Chinese left his name on this avenue full of honors and achievements. Previously, Bruce Lee's signature was his English name, and Lin Mu was the first awardee to leave a square Chinese/Chinese character on this avenue, which has become a topic of conversation among later scholars who study Lin Mu's life.
These two new stars of Lin Mu are located directly in front of the China National Grand Theater, and the organizer's arrangement fully considers the identity of Lin Mu Chinese. After completing the palm prints, footprints and signatures, the celebration entered another climax, the two on-site staff unveiled the two new stars that belonged to Lin Mu covered by the red carpet, the two stars stood side by side, Lin Mu knelt lightly on the red carpet, leaned over and gently rubbed the two stars with his name written on them, with affection on his face as if he was touching the face of a lover.
Lin Mu's "first intimate contact" with his star was recorded by the media present with a camera, and on these two Hollywood stars of his own, Lin Mu did not forget to share his joy with his friends present. Entertainment giant Lei Shidong was the first person to stand between these two stars with him, and then Spielberg and other directors and stars also left their own figures in the lens of the media. These classic photographs were later included in the memorial of the Walk of Fame.
After the whole celebration, Lin Mu, who was in a good mood, was interviewed by some reporters at the scene. Lin Mu rarely accepts interviews with the media, which is related to his usual principle of being a low-key person and doing things in a high-profile manner, and also related to the behind-the-scenes work he has been engaged in this year as a screenwriter and producer. Therefore, the media present felt extremely excited when they learned that he was willing to be interviewed. Although Lin Mu has a very cold attitude towards the media, people like him are the focus of attention wherever he goes. There will always be endless questions about him.
The people who were invited to the scene were some well-known American media, and their questions were naturally not too limited to this award ceremony, in fact, they were more concerned about other aspects of the forest. So as soon as I came up, a reporter asked about the newly established X-*** screenwriting studio. "Sir promised during the last fan protest that he would not sell the rights to any of the sequels, but recently we heard that you set up a writers' studio, and the script for the sixth season of Friends was written by this studio, does that conflict with your previous promise?"
"All the works of X-*** Screenwriter Studio will be supervised by me, and I will also participate in the entire creation of some works, so I can guarantee that every script produced by X-*** is a masterpiece. I believe that the establishment of X-*** screenwriting studio will have a positive impact on the development of the entire film and television industry as much as Ford's invention of assembly line production to promote the automobile industry! ”
"Filming has begun on the sequel to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, can you tell us a little bit about the sequel?" Another reporter asked about the Pirates of the Caribbean series that was being filmed.
"I can't answer any questions about this film right now, other than telling everyone that it's going to be a really good film!" Lin Mu politely refused this time.
"We found out that you didn't invite any actresses for this celebration, and you were in a close relationship with Mr. David Geffen, does that mean that you have changed the orientation of your private life?" The reporter almost didn't ask Lin Mu directly if he had become gay.
Even Lin Mu himself was choked by this reporter's question, and he explained with some tears and laughter: "I am just a pure partnership with Mr. David Geffen, my sexual orientation is normal, I think this is the answer you want!" ”
Lin Mu's name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame not only caused a lot of turmoil in the United States, but also set off a lot of waves in Asia, this Hollywood producer who can compete with Bruce Lee quickly became known by Hong Kong people, but people are more associated with Hollywood blockbusters such as "Jurassic Park" and "Pirates of the Caribbean". However, Hong Kong filmmakers have a much more comprehensive view of Lin Mu, and they know that Lin Mu is the director and vice chairman of Hollywood's oldest film company, and he is a figure who has full voice in Hollywood. Especially when I learned that Lin Mu had gone to Hong Kong to recruit talents, many people's minds were activated, including Zou Wenhuai, the boss of Golden Harvest.
Golden Harvest hired the famous action director Tang Jili and Cheng Long and Anita Mui to shoot an action blockbuster set in the United States, which was released in Asia at the beginning of the year and received rich box office and praise, Zou Wenhuai decided to take advantage of this momentum and enter the American market. Zou Wenhuai's first thought was Lin Mu, the reason is very simple, Lin Mu once introduced "Jingwu Heroes" into the American market, and this film is starring Cheng Long, which is an important reason why Zou Wenhuai is sure that Lin Mu will help.
Hong Kong people are paying attention to Lin Mu, and Lin Mu is also paying attention to the Hong Kong film market, he actually began to pay attention to the film "Red Fan Zone" very early, in January, the film "Red Fan Zone" directed by Tang Jili and starring Cheng Long was released in China/China, and won a box office result of more than 35 million yuan, which is almost 3 times that of the Hollywood blockbuster "The End of the World" released at the same time. Since the release time happened to be around the Spring Festival, "Red Fan Zone" created a Chinese/domestic film New Year file in a real sense. As the producer of "The End of the World", Lin Mu was not too surprised by the film's box office performance in mainland China, the door of the Chinese/Chinese film market has just opened to the world, but overseas films need to go through strict film censorship if they want to enter the mainland, and some scenes in the film will face the fate of being deleted, which makes the original effect of the film greatly reduced. Secondly, the film "The End of the World" is a traditional Hollywood blockbuster after all, and it is understandable that Chinese/Chinese audiences still find it difficult to accept this Western culture for a while. Lin Mu knows that this is just the beginning, "The End of the World" can be regarded as a stepping stone for Hollywood films to enter China/China, and the glory of Hollywood blockbusters is far from coming! At this time, the film "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" has been sent to the competent authorities of China/China for approval, and is expected to officially land on the mainland of China next year.
Lin Mu knew that the film "Red Fan Zone" was a milestone for Cheng Long to enter the mainstream American film market, and since then it has opened the prelude to Cheng Long's film sweeping the United States. The clever thing about the film is that it is set in New York, USA, and the plot is simple and direct, but it is refreshing and lively, and it is highly entertaining. In addition to Cheng Long's usual beautiful fighting identity, Anita Mui's addition of comedy also adds to the comedic effect. Cheng Long still went into battle in person at the age of 40, wearing a denim outfit to fight with the gangsters, and finally defeated the mafia. This film has made two people, one is Cheng Long and the other is Tang Jili.
Because it was a business visit, Lin Mu received the visiting Zou Wenhuai in his office, and he knew that Zou Wenhuai's trip was to sell him the North American distribution rights of the film "Red Fan Zone".
"Mr. Lin is famous on the Avenue of Stars, and I have heard about it in Hong Kong, which is really gratifying!" Zou Wenhuai didn't talk about business, but first congratulated Lin Mu, he knew that he didn't want to hit the smiling person, not to mention that this time he had a request. (To be continued.) )
