Although Julia Roberts came forward to clarify the issue after the fact, this explanation will only become darker and darker in front of the media. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and Lin Mu ignored those marginal statements, he just talked about it when he was on the phone with Lin Chiling. He doesn't want to explain more in front of the media, but that doesn't mean he doesn't worry that Lin Chiling will misunderstand the relationship between the two because of this.

This scandal did not have much impact on Lin Mu's life, and after the media reported the incident in a big way, they found that neither of the two parties had any statement. The public reaction to this matter was not very enthusiastic either! So the media quickly died down, and the matter ended up with a dead end.

Geffen showed great enthusiasm for the preparation of the film "Youth Musical", and it was rare for him to be so enthusiastic about the new film of DreamWorks that Lin Mu simply gave up the position of producer to him, and he devoted himself to the preparation of the upcoming capital war in Asia.

At the beginning of June, Lin Mu received a package from the United Kingdom and sent it to the sender's name. Lin Mu saw Rowling's name, and the package contained a sample book of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Lin Mu then remembered that not long ago, the head of Simon & Scheuster Publishing Company had reported to him the latest progress on the publication of this book, but he didn't expect the sample book to come out so soon.

The cover of this English version of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is not much different from the cover of the familiar Chinese version of Lin Mu, gently turning the title page of the book, Lin Mu sees not a table of contents and a preface, there is a text in the middle. It reads: "I dedicate this book to: Mr. Lin, who was the first audience of the story; Jessica, she loved the story; Annie. She loved the story too.

Lin Mu didn't expect that his name would appear in this text expressing gratitude, and he was included in the thank you list along with Rowling's daughter Jessica, which was an unexpected surprise for Lin Mu. Aside from this small change, the content of the book is not much different from what he remembers.

I roughly flipped through the contents of the whole book. Lin Mu then opened the letter that had been sent with the sample book. This is Geng Yi Rowling's handwritten letter, in which she expressed her sincere gratitude to Lin Mu for her help, and at the same time on behalf of her daughter Jekassie to Lin Muran, and sent a picture of Jekassie himself, which was a dark-haired and yellow-skinned villain, Lin Mu knew that Jekassie drew himself.

Although this is only a children's graffiti work, Lin Mu still solemnly collected this painting.

In addition to her gratitude, Rowling also mentioned in her letter a request for Lin Mu to write a preface to the publication of the Harry One Potter novels. But in Lin Mu's memory, it is not clear whether the English version of "Harry One Potter" has a preface or not. But the Chinese version he has read has absolutely no such thing, and in fact the novels rarely have a preface. Lin Mu had only seen the so-called reprint preface in the kind of classic literary works that had been reprinted many times, but Lin Mu still had some difficulty refusing Rowling's request.

This made Lin Mu feel very embarrassed, this preface is not easy to write, especially Lin Mu knows that this is destined to be a best-selling children's literature work all over the world, this work affects more than just one generation, a casual ordinary preface, it seems that it can cope with things, but this is not Lin Mu's style of doing things. Either don't do it, or do it best, this is the usual style of Lin Mu.

For this preface, Lin Mu pondered for a long time before he began to write, and his title was "The Little Magician Who Jumped Out of His School Bag." ”

"It was by chance that I came to the ancient city of Edinburgh. I stumbled into a café in order to taste the famous whisky, and it was this misunderstanding that led me to inadvertently break into a world full of imagination, and it may be difficult to imagine that the original carrier of this wonderful story was even a few small pieces of paper. Because of a little girl named Jessica, I got to know the author of this story. Although I may not be younger than most readers of this book, the story still captivates me, and I think that's the charm of this article.

"Last but not least, parents who choose to buy this book for their children need to take care of their brooms at home and make sure that their children don't sneak into the cupboard at night to find the magical world!"

The novel "Harry Potter and the Wizard" is set in "June 1. On Children's Day, it appeared in rice stores in the United States and Europe at the same time, and many parents gave it as a gift to their children. As more and more people began to read this novel, people gradually discovered the charm of this novel. It wasn't until the book made it to the New York Times New Books list that people discovered that around Zigong, people such as "Muggles." Broomsticks. Strange terms like "Quidditch" have unconsciously become popular. Now not only children, but also many young people are starting to read this novel, a wave of "Harry Potter." The reading craze set off by this little magician is quietly spreading.

By the time the novel "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer" topped the New York Times New Books list. The novel has sold over 40,000 copies in the United States and Europe. There are already studios with a keen sense of business who see the potential of this best-selling novel to make a movie, but turn the page to the novel. People were dejected to find that the author of the novel's preface was a famous Hollywood genius screenwriter, and that the novel was associated with Lin Mu's name, and then everyone in the novel's publishing company was no longer in their minds. They knew that this time Lin Mu was ahead of everyone again.

The handover ceremony of the Hong Kong and Hong Kong governments, which attracted worldwide attention at the Hong Kong/Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, was held in half of the Great Hall on the fifth floor of the city

In the morning, the flag-bearers of China and Britain entered, and the flag-lowering and flag-raising ceremonies symbolizing the handover of Hong Kong and Hong Kong governments began. All the Chinese and foreign guests attending the ceremony stood up. The eyes of the audience were focused on the flagpoles erected on the east and west sides of the rostrum in front of the officiating platform. The Union Jack and Hong Kong flags are slowly lowered to the music of the British national anthem. With the lowering of the "rice flag", a century of British colonial rule in Hong Kong came to an end.

At 0:00 a.m. on July, the exciting and sacred moment arrived: the military band of the Chinese People's Liberation Army played the majestic national anthems of China, the Chinese, the Democratic Republic, the Republic of China, and the country, and the Chinese national flag and the regional flag of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region were slowly raised together. The audience was boiling, and many people's eyes were full of tears of excitement, and the thunderous applause lasted for a long time. The lenses of cameras and video cameras are constantly flashing, recording this solemn historical moment.

Mixed with the joyful crowd, surrounded by parents who were equally excited, although Lin Mu's face looked very quiet, but his heart was mixed, this was the first time he came to the flag-raising ceremony in person after coming to this world, although he had experienced too many flag-raising ceremonies in his previous life, right this catty. The ritual that was supposed to be very sacred was already a little numb, but at this moment, although the identity of time and space had changed, there was still a faint excitement in his heart, and his mood was difficult to calm down for a long time.

Lin Mu's parents had already returned to Hong Kong in early June, and after they settled down, Lin Mu rushed to Hong Kong immediately, not to witness this historical moment. It's just that at this time, the Asian economic situation has reached the point where it is on the verge of breaking out, and in Lin Mu's memory, on the second day of the return day, that is, on July 2, the Asian financial crisis officially broke out, and the source of this crisis is Thailand, which can no longer withstand the impact of international travel capital.

History once again confirmed the memory of Lin Mu, the Thai government announced on the same day that it would abandon the fixed exchange rate system and implement a floating exchange rate system, and the exchange rate of Thai girls against the US dollar fell. Forex and other financial markets were in turmoil, and a financial storm began to take shape throughout Asia.

At the same time that international tourism resources continue to flow to Southeast Asia, the US$400 million transferred by Xujin has also flowed into Hong Kong through various channels. Most of the funds were actually in place a month ago, and after the regional financial crisis triggered by the depreciation of the baht, the Hong Kong SAR government significantly strengthened the supervision of inbound funds.

Lin Mu knew that there were still nearly 2 months before the international tour capital launched an attack on Hong Kong, but he still made a handover of his work in the United States and arrived at Hong Kong ahead of schedule. Although the development of the entire financial crisis so far has not deviated from the memory of the forest, this does not mean that the forest can relax its carelessness. The economic situation in Asia is changing rapidly, and Lin Mu himself is not fully sure that the next target of international travel capital will not be Hong Kong/Hong Kong.

It was in this somewhat tense atmosphere that the film "A Chinese Ghost Story: The Love of the World" was officially launched in Hong Kong, due to scheduling problems, Michael Jackson did not appear at the launch conference, and Lin Mu, as a representative of the producer, once again encountered questions about the negative impact of the financial crisis on the filming, but this time it was a reporter from Hong Kong/Hong Kong who asked the question.

Although Thailand's financial system has collapsed at this time, a large number of bank failures have caused domestic political turmoil, and under the influence of Thai fluctuations, Philippine pesos, Indonesian rupiahs, and Malaysian ringgit have become the targets of international speculators. Most of them have a sense of powerlessness or disappointment about the current state of the market. Lin Mu reiterated his point again, but this time he also made some special emphasis.

"Governments must take decisive measures. Actively intervene in the foreign exchange market, and I believe that a government with a strong economy can control the impact of the crisis on the national economy. Judging from the evolution of the current crisis, in addition to the trend of diffusion in Asia, there is no trend of external expansion for the time being, so this economic crisis will not have much impact on the producers, and I believe that the Hong Kong/Hong Kong SAR government is also capable of maintaining the stability of the economy in the region. People are still optimistic about the long-term investment and development potential of Hong Kong/Hong Kong. ”

Lin Mu's speech undoubtedly set a tone for the entire launch conference, since the producer has made it clear that he will not invest in the film and will not be affected by the financial crisis, the questions of the on-site reporters have shifted to some topics more related to the film.

"Excuse me, Chairman. How did you come up with the idea to remake the movie "Xiao Qian"? The next question is still aimed at the woods. But the direction and content of the questions have clearly changed considerably.

"Because I think the original movie is very creative, Mr. Tsui Hark is very thoughtful in the handling of the plot.

The film cleverly avoids the differences between Eastern and Western cultures. There are a lot of quotations in it: "First, the elements of Chinese culture, but many things are very easy to understand, or Tsui Hark has grasped some things that are common to Eastern and Western cultures in his original film, romantic evasion, unforgettable love, which is also often used in Hollywood movies, as an investor, I actually see the commercial value of this film in the international market." ”

"So when Director Xu wrote the original movie, he should have a different consideration from the chairman, right?" The problem naturally shifted from Lin Mu's side to director Tsui Hark.

"When I wrote the script of "Xiao Qian", I didn't look at the whole film from such an international perspective as the chairman. At that time, I had just finished filming the third part of "A Chinese Ghost Story", but I still had an unfinished feeling about this story, so I had the idea of this script

Tsui Hark began to recall the process of working with Lin Mu as he spoke, "Then the chairman approached me and said he wanted to remake the film, and then he told me his idea. In fact, if it were someone else, I would still be a little hesitant on the issue of remakes, after all, it needs strong strength as support, and no film company in Hong Kong has this strength, but Paramount is different. The mature development of Hollywood cinema is there. There is technology, there is money, and I can't find a reason to refuse. Then Chairman Xiao said well, Hollywood directors can't shoot the flavor in the film. It's up to you to direct this movie. The investment of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong films is already a sky-high number. But the investment in this film is a figure that I couldn't have imagined before, and I don't think there are many directors in Hong Kong who can have such an opportunity. I ran into it. It would be a fool to refuse, and then I agreed. ”

"There are so many actresses in Hong Kong, why did Director Xu take a fancy to Miss Lin Chiling?" The question about the heroine was quickly mentioned by reporters, and although Lin Chiling herself was also at the press conference, a reporter still bluntly raised this question to Tsui Hark.

"Miss Lin's own appearance and temperament are first-class, if it were you, I am afraid you would also hope that you could have such an affair. And another characteristic of Miss Lin is that she is young, highly educated, and has the elegant temperament of an oriental woman, which is rare in the entertainment industry (to be continued.) )
