Chapter 087 James Wen

After the Rookie Challenge, Lin Yu did not stay in Houston to watch the remaining games. Instead, he ran to Los Angeles and spent a fulfilling Saturday with Amber.

In the morning, the two went to a shopping mall near Sunset Boulevard and spent a lot of money.

Amber used the money she earned during this period to buy two new formal suits for Lin Yu, which cost a lot of money.

Lin Yu also bought Amber a limited edition Chanel bag, which cost even more money.

Lin Yu could feel that Amber was not interested in his money and was only with him for the roll call.

At noon, the two had a candlelight lunch.

In the afternoon, Amber accompanied Lin Yu to the Universal Pictures studio to shoot a KFC commercial.

Amber was not on camera, but being able to follow Lin Yu and walk around the Universal Pictures studio was already a great help to Amber.

Just like this, she and Lin Yu met many star basketball fans in Hollywood.

Jack Nicholson, Ben Affleck, Tom Hanks, etc. are all Lakers fans. When they met Lin Yu, they all mentioned the Los Angeles match between Lin Yu and Kobe Bryant.

battle.

Jack Nicholson didn't give Lin Yu a good look. Ben Affleck hoped that Lin Yu could play for the Lakers in the future. Tom Hanks didn't say much, just said hello and left.

Of course, there is also a Hollywood star who is not a Lakers fan, Jessica Alba of the Fantastic Four. She is a fan of Baron Davis.

Amber went crazy to show her face in front of these big-name Hollywood stars, frantically boosting her sense of existence.

After filming the commercial, Amber accompanied Lin Yu to a Western restaurant on Sunset Boulevard and met Lin Yu's second target during his trip to Los Angeles, Hollywood director James Wan.

In 2006, James Wan had just finished filming "Saw 2". In Hollywood, he was already a successful horror film director.

At this time, James Wan was already trying to transform, and he wanted to try some new movie types.

The emergence of "Linsanity" gave him an opportunity.

Lin Yu is Chinese, and James Wan is a Chinese-American. They are both Chinese. Lin Yu has accomplished an achievement that everyone admires in the NBA, which can be regarded as winning glory for the Chinese.

Wen Ziren felt that he could shoot a documentary for Lin Yu. Of course, this would also help himself. He could use this opportunity to try documentaries, a film genre that is completely different from horror films.

So, he contacted Lin Yu’s agent Jeff Schwartz.

In a quiet corner of the western restaurant, Lin Yu met Wen Ziren.

"Nice to meet you, James."

Wen Ziren's English name is James. Lin Yu greeted him in English. He guessed that Wen Ziren might not speak Chinese. In fact, Wen Ziren was born in Malaysia and grew up in Australia, so he did not speak Chinese.

The moment he saw Lin Yu, Wen Ziren stood up directly and shook hands with Lin Yu: "I am also very happy to see you, Lin!"

Then, Lin Yu introduced Amber beside him.

Although James Wan is still only a well-known director in Hollywood, Amber is still a little celebrity involved in reality shows. Obviously, James Wan's celebrity status is higher among the two.

Amber only felt that she and Lin Yu were on the right track.

It is difficult for a small NBA player to influence Hollywood. At first, Amber did not expect to rely on Lin Yu to open the door of Hollywood. But after Lin Crazy, Lin Yu suddenly became inextricably linked to Hollywood.

contact.

"I don't know much about basketball, I can only be considered an amateur basketball fan, but I have watched every one of Lin's six games. I can only say that you put on a unique personal performance, which is very special."

The madness is very shocking.”

After the three of them sat down, Wen Ziren got straight to the point. He used various modifiers to describe Lin Yu's "Lin Madness".

"I wonder if you've seen the recently released "Paths of Glory"?"

"Path of Glory", a basketball movie, was just released in January 2006. Lin Yu in this time and space did not watch it, but Lin Yu in his previous life had seen it and he nodded: "Of course, it is a very good basketball movie."

Movie."

"If you agree, I plan to film this 'Linsanity' documentary based on the Path of Glory model. All games will use live footage of Linsanity's six games, and then off the court, we will follow your real experience,

With some dramatic adaptations, it's an inspiring sports story."

Listening to Wen Ziren's description, Lin Yu frowned: "Then does it not count as a documentary?"

"No, of course it is still considered a documentary, but its box office performance is much better than before. Lin, you don't understand how Hollywood works. If I just wanted to shoot a simple documentary, I would not be able to get investment.

Then I can only make a shoddy work and rely on editing to create a documentary that many people are not interested in."

"But if I adapt it a little bit and make it a little bit commercial, I can take the script, attract investment, and then the movie will be released, and the cost will be recovered by relying on the box office revenue after the release..."

Lin Yu nodded, he understood what Wen Ziren was thinking.

To put it bluntly, what James Wan wants to make is not a simple documentary with little technical difficulty. What this guy wants to make is more like a commercial sports inspirational movie.

However, Lin Yu still agreed to Wen Ziren's proposal: "I agree with you to shoot this movie, but I will let my agent discuss the specific cooperation plan and terms with you."

Seeing Lin Yu and James Wan reach an agreement, Amber couldn't help but ask: "Will this documentary have my footage?"

Lin Yu smiled: "Of course, Amber, you are the female lead in this documentary. You play a very key role. You will definitely have no less shots!"

While talking, Lin Yu thought of the "random movie script" card still lying in the system warehouse. He had never figured out how to use it.

Now that he knows, he should first draw that card and see what scripts he can get, then find a corresponding director and producer and invest his own money.

Then find a distribution company to distribute the movie.

If it sells well, he can make a lot of money from the movie.

Lin Yu is not that interested in making movies, but if it involves making money or picking up girls, his interest will rise.

During the meeting with James Wan in Los Angeles, the two made a preliminary intention to cooperate.

Then, Lin Yu took Amber back to the hotel.

After spending a whole fulfilling day, Amber became very excited and worked very hard. Lin Yu enjoyed various experiences that he had never enjoyed before.
