Countercurrent Xiangjiang giants

Chapter 191 187 Two Movies Released Simultaneously
On September 9, "The Blair Witch" and "Cell of Fear" will be released simultaneously.

Fox Films has gone through a series of promotions, but the time is too short, so it doesn't attract too much attention, but it is not yet the Oscar selection period, and there are not too many movies released in the same period.

In the movie theater, the attendance rate was about [-]%, and many seats were empty. Lin Chu and Lin Qingxia sat together, and Lin Lixia and Lin Chengsen sat in front of them, two rows away. The four of them were watching " Room of Fear.

Lin Qingxia held his hand tightly, and said softly: "Husband, don't worry when the show just started, it should get better later on, and even if it doesn't sell well, let's go back to Xiangjiang to develop, you He is the most profitable director in Xiangjiang, don't be afraid."

Lin Chu smiled, she was comforting him, he shook his head, put his arms around her waist and said, "Don't worry, I won't be defeated so easily, even if I am defeated, you will sleep with me when I go back It'll be fine once you sleep!"

"I'm worried, you're still joking with him!" Lin Qingxia patted his arm and said angrily.

Lin Chu held her in his arms, stroked her waist with one hand, and slid down, then said softly: "The shooting cost of my two films is not high, and they are extremely low-cost films, so Can't lose any money.

And I personally don't think there will be a big problem. These two movies are types that have never appeared before, and they always need some time to ferment. "

When he said these words, he actually had no idea in his heart, but he didn't want Lin Qingxia to worry, so he pretended to be relaxed.

When the movie was released, although Lin Qingxia played a role in it, she had never seen the full movie, and was nervous throughout the whole process.

The movie is very tight, and exclamation sounds are heard from time to time in the movie theater, which shows that everyone has watched it.

When the film ended, Lin Qingxia let out a long breath: "My husband, it's amazing. This type of film is too meticulous. In comparison, most of Xiangjiang's films are like playing house."

"Let's go, we're going back." Lin Chu nodded, took her hand and walked out.

No one in Los Angeles knew Lin Chu and Lin Qingxia, so they didn't have to avoid it, and left the movie theater openly.

In the lobby outside the cinema, there were bursts of communication voices: "Is "The Chamber of Fear" good?"

"It's so good! Really, it's unexpected. This is the best movie I've seen this year..."

"Big scene? Cool action?"

"This is not an action movie, but... a suspense movie. Although there are no big scenes, it is still good-looking. It wins with the plot. This screenwriter is a genius!"

"Man, you must have missed it. The director and screenwriter of this movie are the same person, and the author of "Jurassic" and "Harry Potter."

"Mysterious Dongfang Forest? My God, I must go and have a look. What you said made my blood boil!"

"Wait for me, I have to watch it again. I didn't understand some of the previous parts. Many plots are too unexpected, so I have to watch it again. I always feel that this movie is still more interesting, and there seems to be another one."

A group of people turned around to buy tickets, Lin Qingxia jumped up and stretched out her hand: "Husband, look, these people are all returning viewers, which shows that your movie is indeed very popular!"

"Let's see the situation again." Lin Chu nodded.

On the first day of release, the two films each arranged a canvas of 600 yuan, which is not too much, it depends on the later development.

The word-of-mouth of "The Chamber of Fear" fermented quickly, and the attendance rate reached [-]% on the second day. Everyone who watched the movie said it was good, and "The Blair Witch" was also inspired, and the box office of the two movies was similar.

But the audiences of the two films are somewhat different. "Cell of Fear" attracts people of almost all ages, while the audience of "The Blair Witch" is almost all young people, who feel very mysterious.

Older people think this movie is really boring, but because they are all Lin Chu's works, under the influence of each other, the box office has risen at the same time.

In a restaurant in Beverly, the four of Lin Chu were sitting at the long dining table, having afternoon tea, when Lin Lixia praised: "Brother-in-law, you are really amazing!
Really, both movies are good, especially "The Blair Witch", which is the scariest movie I have ever seen, and I still wonder if there are witches in this world.

Brother-in-law, you are the director, tell me, are there any witches in this world?That forest looks very big, it is really like what my sister said, but I just found a small forest at random? "

"I found it randomly. I don't think it's as big as the woods in my yard." Lin Chu shrugged, smiled, and then changed the subject: "I mean, it doesn't matter whether there are witches or not. Fears come from within us."

Lin Chengsen nodded: "Ah Chu, you are really a genius, "The Blair Witch" is not bad, but "Cell of Fear" really surprised me, I watched it twice, and I finally understood it.

The plot design of this movie is very powerful. I have never seen this type of movie before, but you have a good sense of proportion.

There is obviously some violence, but there is no blood, and the rating is not bad. Otherwise, if the audience is only over 17 years old, it will have a great impact on the box office. "

Lin Chu nodded, and heaved a sigh of relief. At first, he cut off most of the bloody scenes and added suspenseful parts, which seemed to be effective.

"Sister, I have lived in Los Angeles for so long. To be honest, I don't even want to go back. The climate here is good, the living space is spacious, and I have no worries about food and clothing. I am reluctant to leave!"

Lin Lixia's face was somewhat melancholy, Lin Qingxia smiled: "Go back and discuss it, just move to Los Angeles, your husband is a famous doctor, it is not difficult to find a job in Los Angeles.

And San Francisco is not too far away from Los Angeles, about [-] kilometers, you can discuss it carefully when you go back, and I will bring my parents to Los Angeles in the future.

Next time I come over, I will buy a house for them, just a smaller villa, Beverly is too expensive, just buy it outside, about $50. "

"Wow, I don't have $50 either!" Lin Lixia looked envious.

Lin Chu glanced at her and said, "If you move here, you should live closer to your parents, preferably in a community, and I'll pay you half of the money, so you come with your eldest brother.

A villa is 50 US dollars, and I will give you 25 US dollars each, so that the family can live together and take care of them. Anyway, there are many job opportunities in Los Angeles. "

"Then I'll go back and discuss it. If he agrees, I'll come and look for a house first!" Lin Lixia said softly.

Lin Chengsen looked at Lin Chu and said, "Ah Chu, our family owes you too much."

"The family does not speak two languages, and I have helped here. I don't care about your expenses in the future. You can earn money to support yourself."

Lin Chu shrugged, Lin Qingxia held his hand and interlocked his fingers, Lin Chu added: "And you have raised Qingxia so well, you will bear children for me in the future, this is my Your big baby, consider it a gift from me."

Lin Qingxia leaned over to kiss him, Lin Chu thought in his heart, the deeper the involvement, the more Lin Qingxia couldn't leave him in the future, it would be best for such a peerless beauty to be with him for the rest of his life.

Back home, Lin Chu continued to sit in the study and write a book, which was the script of the second part of "Cell of Fear". Lin Qingxia took Lin Lixia and Lin Chengsen out shopping again.

The phone on the desk rang, Lin Chu picked it up, and a familiar voice rang out: "Mr. Lin, I'm Katz, I've seen your movie, it's so exciting!
My dad thought it was one of the best movies he'd ever seen, with all the interlocking and tight plots, he said you're a genius, and he asked me to ask, will there be a second "Cell of Fear"? "

"It will definitely be, but it doesn't have to be me. There will be many movies in this series." Lin Chu smiled.

Katz praised: "It's so cool! Mr. Lin, can I be the heroine in your next play?"

"No problem, you wait!" Lin Chu responded, and then changed the topic: "Kates, let me give you a piece of advice, take care of your body, it is your wealth, you should take care of it, and don't show it to others easily look.

If a movie requires you to show your body, it must be flawed, and your body must be reserved for the person in your heart.

This is our Eastern philosophy. Although you were born in the United States, you still have Eastern blood in your blood. I hope you can understand what I mean. "

Katz replied seriously: "I understand, what you mean is that you want me not to be so open, don't you? My mother also said the same thing to me.

I think it makes sense, my body is my greatest wealth, I can't use it to please other people, unless that person is very important to me.

Mr. Lin, in fact, I am also a very traditional person, don't worry, if I want to act in a movie, I will act in your movie, because you are the best! "

"It's fine to call me Lin from now on, you don't need to call me Mr." Lin Chu said lightly.

Katz laughed, and she said softly: "Lin, when are you going back to Xiangjiang? Can I go to Xiangjiang to see you next time?"

"Of course! I will return to Xiangjiang on the 28th, and I have given you my Xiangjiang phone number, so I can contact you at any time." Lin Chu responded, and then changed the topic: "Little Katz, let's do this, we will talk another day. "

Katz shouted: "Little Katz? No, I'm 17 years old. Are you three years older than me? Are you free tomorrow? I have a performance in the auditorium of Los Angeles Arts Center Academy.

do you know?I used to be a ballet dancer. I injured my knee three years ago, so I couldn't continue to dance. In fact, I dance very well. Now the knee injury doesn't affect me much. "

"What about the time?" Lin Chu asked.

Katz smiled and said, "Tomorrow at one o'clock in the afternoon, you just come directly. I'll have someone wait for you at the gate of the auditorium and send you a ticket."

"Okay, I'll be there on time." Lin Chu answered and put down the phone.

He really didn't have any idea about Katz. Although she was beautiful, she probably couldn't accept his current state, and it was difficult for her to develop further.

For him, Nicole Kidman is actually the woman he really admires. She always has a noble and bright temperament, and she is unparalleled in youth.

Coupled with her height of 1.8 meters, it can be said that she stands out from the crowd, but it is a pity that she is only 13 years old now, which is too young.

On the 26th, at eleven o'clock, Lin Chu stepped into a cafe in Beverly.

The sun filled the sunny side of the cafe, drawing out long shadows and brightening the whole cafe.

There were not many guests. Near the window, Mustache got up and greeted him. Lin Chu followed him and walked over. Two men were sitting there. Lin Chu took a deep breath to suppress the excitement in his heart.

Woz has black hair and a big beard. Markkula is handsome and older. His relationship with Jobs can be said to be like a father and son.

That's why Jobs felt betrayed when he left Apple in the years to come.

Lin Chu held out his hands to the two and shook hands with each other.

"Mr. Markkula, Mr. Woz, I am Lin Chu from the East." Lin Chu introduced and sat down.

Mustache got up and left, ordered three cups of coffee for the three of them, and never went back.

Markkula looked at Lin Chu and said with a smile, "The mysterious Dongfang Lin!"

"I especially like the book "Jurassic". The huge dinosaurs are simply a man's dream. If there is such a park, it would be great. I will definitely walk around in it every day."

Woz admired, and then changed the topic: "Mr. Lin, you want to buy our shares? You have a good vision! Apple is about to go public, and all investors are optimistic about us."

"I'm also very optimistic about Apple. After all, your personal computers are really good, but how much stock can you sell?" Lin Chu shrugged.

Markkula smiled: "Mr. Lin, I can sell 200 million shares, worth 5000 million US dollars."

"I can also transfer part of the shares to Mr. Lin, almost 200 million shares." Woz said softly.

Lin Chu's eyes fell on the two of them, and he smiled: "The two are the founding shareholders of Apple, don't you plan to hold it for a long time?"

"I plan to hold it for a long time, but part of it is enough. I need part of the money to spend." Woz said softly.

Markkula said softly: "I also need some cash to invest in other companies. Even if I sell 200 million shares, I still own 500 million shares, which is enough."

"To be honest, the money in my hand is not enough to support me to buy so many shares. I still need to raise funds for a while." Lin Chu said lightly.

Markkula nodded: "Mr. Lin has given me too many surprises, as long as our agreement is still valid before December 12th."

"Then thank you Mr. Markkula." Lin Chu nodded.

Markkula smiled: "Mr. Lin's novel is so good, I brought a copy here, can you sign it for me?"

"Extremely happy!" Lin Chu took the novel and glanced at the cover.

There are two Chinese characters on the cover of the book, which are the author's name, followed by a line of pinyin, which is very thoughtful.

He was very surprised when he saw the English book sent back by Deng Lijun, but now he has no expression and signed it calmly.

　To be honest, the effect of my addition is not very good, and those old book friends are still supporting, and none of the book friends who went out for nothing before came back, and they still read the pirated versions.

　　The results of follow-up are not ideal, maybe I think too much, but I always feel a little lost. If everyone does not support it, the author is indeed hard to have passion.

　　Let me make another request here, everyone, come back and support me, and get the subscription up, really, the new year and the new weather must make me look forward to it, isn't life like this?
