Finally got rid of the pestering group of reporters. At the entrance of the venue, Lin Mu Yiyi ran into two acquaintances, David Geffen and Spielberg. As representatives of DreamWorks, the two also received an invitation letter from the Oscar organizing committee. As early as when Lin Mu, Lin Zhiling, and Angelina Jolie were interviewed by reporters, they had already seen Lin Mu. The other guests had already entered, and they were standing here, obviously waiting for the woods.

"Hi, can you introduce us to this beautiful lady next to you? Even David Gefen, who is not close to women, was attracted by Lin Zhiling's gorgeous face standing beside Lin Mu. He had long known the relationship between Lin Zhiling and Lin Mu, so he "asked knowingly." "I just want to get to know Lin Zhiling officially.

"This is Mr. David Geffen, the executive chairman of Geffen Records!" Lin Mu Nunu said.

"Hello, Mr. Geffen!" When she was still studying in Canada, Lin Zhiling had heard about Geffen Records, and for Hollywood's most famous gay, she had heard a lot of news about Husband and Guardian Geffen.

Geffen is said to have dated women in his early years. But then he openly declared himself gay.

He doesn't care if business people underestimate his business acumen because he's gay. Ever since Geffen revealed his sexuality, rumors have swirled about him. Some say he has an employee who specializes in finding and hosting "subjects" for him, and they are called "Geffen Baby." Some people even say that he and Keanu Levi have secretly married, and David Geffen, who is on the cusp of the storm, of course, knows the rules of the game in the media best: the powerless person is on camera and declares, called to seek innocence, which is really stealing the spotlight. The David-Geffen principle is to ignore it. In this respect, his style is very similar to that of Lin Mu.

"I've been wondering what kind of charm Ms. Lin has in her body that can make our Chairman Lin so fascinated, and now I think I've found the answer." Geffen is not "a problem with the brain, as Lin Mu said." With his skillful technique of complimenting women and his status, it is estimated that many Hollywood actresses will be willingly "scourged" by him

"I've heard of Mr. Geffen's name, and it's been a pleasure to know you." Lin Zhiling shook hands with Geffen very generously.

"Oh?" Geffen deliberately "huh", "It can't be that he is constantly speaking ill of me to you, right?" ”

"How so?" Lin Zhiling shook her head gently, "You should have known him earlier than me, so you should know very well what kind of person he is." In fact, I've seen some reports about you in the newspapers, and I think you're a very interesting person! ”

"It's all in the media!" Geffen said nonchalantly, although he had been silent about the rumors about his private life, but when it was time to speak, Geffen's voice was also extremely loud, and he was clear and unscrupulous.

"I think some of the reports in the media have maintained an objective attitude in some basic facts," Xiao Lin Mu interjected coldly.

"If you want to be successful, don't care too much about what others think of what you do!" This seems to be a famous phrase that everyone can say, but David Geffen proved it to his juniors. "Especially those media, I think their biggest role is to report those nonsense things out of nothing every day!" If he had a point to express, David Geffen didn't care how many "food and clothing" consumers he offended. In the famous gay magazine in the United States (out of the closet debate on the "Tian University Gay Celebrity Rights List". Geffen came out on top without a doubt.

"Geffen is such a person, he doesn't like the media as much as I do, and that's probably the only thing we both have in common!" Lin Mu said this, obviously wanting to talk to Geffen. The abnormal guy "draws the line", of course, he also introduces Lin Zhiling to another heavyweight, Hollywood's most famous director, Stephen Spielberg, who is now the executive director of DreamWorks.

"Mr. Spielberg, my good friend. At the same time, I am also my partner." Lin Mu introduced Spielberg, who had been standing beside David and Geffen and smiling silently, to Lin Zhiling.

"Hello, Mr. Spielberg!" Obviously, Spielberg is more worthy of dating than David Geffen in Lin Zhiling's mind, and in front of such a prestigious Hollywood director, Lin Zhiling is not as relaxed as when she talked to Geffen just now.

"I have watched both of Miss Lin's movies seriously, and if I have the opportunity, I hope to be able to cooperate with Miss Lin!" Spielberg's speech is not as casual as David Geffen, he is communicating with Lin Zhiling very seriously.

"It would be a great honor for me to have such an opportunity." The first time she came into contact with Spielberg, Lin Zhiling was inevitably a little restrained, but when she learned that Spielberg wanted to work with her, she didn't act ecstatic like other movie actors! Being able to work with Spielberg is certainly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but this is not a very surprising surprise for Lin Zhiling, who has already worked with directors of the same level as James Cameron, so she is very calm on this issue.

Of course, Spielberg didn't grasp this problem, whether he could cooperate with Lin Zhiling was secondary, he and Lin Mu hadn't seen each other for a long time. It just so happened that the two of them were next to each other in the venue, and Spielberg didn't care much about the results of this award ceremony, where the award ceremony was going on, but here he chatted privately with Lin Mu.

After filming "Saving Private Ryan", Spielberg put down the guide tube and started the production work wholeheartedly, but in this conversation, Spielberg revealed the idea of redirecting a movie.

Lin Mu was not too surprised that Spielberg proposed such an idea at this time, in fact, he had already guessed Spielberg's true thoughts. During this time, James Cameron's new film "Thorn" performed eye-catchingly. There is even hope to overshadow "Titanic" and create a new movie box office myth. This made Spielberg, who was already preparing to fade out of the director's job, a little unable to sit still.

James Cameron's partnership with Lin Mu has been such a huge success every time that Spielberg doesn't think he can afford to lag behind him in this regard. It was with such a slightly competitive mentality that he had the idea of cooperating with Lin Mu again.

"What good ideas do you already have? Spielberg said this, then he should already have a mature idea in his heart, since he has cooperated with James Cameron so many times, then Lin Mu can't favor one over the other, and the cooperation with Spielberg should be something he can't refuse.

"I've been watching one recently!" Spielberg's reaction was comforting. He did not forget his old friend because of the distance of time. Spielberg wants to prove to everyone that James Cameron and Lin Mu are a golden pair, and his collaboration with Lin Mu can also work wonders.

?。 Lin Mu struggled to recall all of Spielberg's movies in this memory. He found that there was no shortage of film adaptations in Spielberg's later works, which made him have some doubts, and Lin Mu didn't know which one Spielberg wanted to think of.

"Speaking of this one, it has a lot to do with the Chinese culture that you have always cared about." It's no surprise that Lin Mu is Chinese and has a keen interest in his own culture, and it's no secret in Hollywood. And Lin Mu likes to make some movies related to China, which is also a well-known fact in Hollywood. In James Cameron's new film "Thorn", this trend is more and more obvious.

Without good creative ideas, even if you have a good personal relationship with Lin Mu, cooperation is unrealistic. So at first, Spielberg wanted to start with a story about the Orient and promote another collaboration between the two. But as Spielberg's understanding of Chinese culture deepened, he himself was deeply attracted to this culture. Later, his Chinese teacher enthusiastically recommended one to him. He told Spielberg that this was the first time the Western world had a close understanding of China!

After watching this film, Spielberg realized that Hollywood at that time had brought this story to the screen many years ago. But due to the age of the filming, and the ideological constraints of the time, Spielberg believes that the film does not capture the true essence of the original book. His idea was to remake the film and bring this classic story back to life.

"You mean Chinese?" Lin Mu asked with some confusion.

"Of course not, it's a best-selling one created in the rush of the last century. It's full of utopian fantasies in this one. The mysterious Oriental world described in it has fascinated many Westerners! Talking about the one he wanted to recommend to Lin Mu, Spielberg couldn't help but have a fascinated expression on his face.

"You're talking about James Hilton's Lost Horizon? Lin Mu suddenly understood.

"You've seen this classic, too?" Spielberg's face was pleasantly surprised, after all, it was a work from the last century, and this one seemed a little distant to Americans today. And there are actually not many people who know about this anymore.

At that time, the American-British writer James Hilton published his famous "Lost Horizon", in which the author incorporated the characters of the First World War, the Great Depression in the United States, and the global exploration fever into the book. It reflects that people at that time were trying to pursue the Shangri-La in their hearts. This one is thrilling, exciting, bizarre, and full of drama. What's even more rare is that reading this book will be a physical, mental, and soul experience. For this bestseller for the first time by a Western writer created against the backdrop of the Eastern world. How could it be that the forest tree had not read it?

The background of Ebe's creation of the chronology of the millennium is also the period of the mother's abuchi. Basiku of a country in the South Asian subcontinent (The author's fictional city of a certain country was born in a riot. Consul Marson of the British Consulate, American Barnard and Missionary Miss Brinklow evacuated Bascu on a small plane on the day of the month to fly to Peshawar, Pakistan.

During the flight, they discovered that the plane had left its original course and was flying from west to north-east along the Himalayas, and the pilot was not the usual Fena, but a stranger with weapons. Only then did they find out that the plane had been hijacked, but they were unarmed and could do nothing about it.

In the end, the plane broke down at the mouth of a narrow valley, and the pilot was seriously injured during the forced landing, but the four passengers were unharmed. Early the next morning, before dying, the pilot intermittently said that this was a Tibetan area of China, and that there was a nearby lama monastery called Shangri-La, and that they could only find food and lodging there. As they were about to walk towards Shangri-La, an elderly man surnamed Zhang, who spoke pure English, appeared surrounded by a dozen Tibetans. The old man told them. It's called the Blue Moon Valley, the only way into Shangri-La.

Zhang took them up the mountain and climbed the rocks, walked for almost a day, and finally arrived at a lama temple

The central lama monastery of Shangri-La leads the entire valley and forms the Shangri-La society. In all areas of Shangri-La, the relationship between denominations, nationalities, man-to-man, and man and nature is governed by the principle of "moderation. of virtue. Shangri-La's leaders believe that there are three states of human behavior: excess, inadequacy and moderation, and that excess, inadequacy and inadequacy are the root causes of evil, and only moderation is perfect, which makes Shangri-La society peaceful and tranquil.

At Shangri-La, Kang En had many conversations with Zhang and the Supreme Lama, discussing a range of religious and philosophical issues. Conway is a young man who is "very good in spirit and ** in both aspects." Through his conversations, he had developed a friendship-like telepathy with the Supreme Lama. And the Supreme Lama also intended to choose Conway as his heir. In fact, that's exactly why their plane landed in Shangri-La.

It depicts a Pure Land paradise hidden in southwest China as "a Tibetan habitat full of harmony, serenity, eternity, and mystery." In the story, the author depicts a beautiful kingdom. There, three rivers meet, mountains rise into the sky, and the summits are covered with snow. The grass is deep under your feet, covering the earth.

After the publication of "Lost Horizon", it became the bestseller of the time and won the prestigious Hawthornton Literary Award in the United Kingdom. The following year, Hollywood invested millions of dollars to bring it to the screen, pushing Shangri-La's reputation to the peak, and the theme song "This Beautiful Shangri-La" spread around the world. At the time, the Britannica's Dictionary of Literary Writers described one of the book's achievements as creating a "paradise" for the English lexicon. word.
