Lin Chaoyang talked to her about her creative experiences about food culture, and she could clearly feel her "amateur" in creation, but she still talked patiently.

"Oh, thank you! Lin, you are so considerate. These skills have really benefited me a lot."

At the end of the chat, Julia Nixon Eisenhower was impressed by Lin Chaoyang's talent and expressed his sincere gratitude.

"Writing is largely a skilled work, and what I communicated with you is just some experience."

At this time, Judith Jones, who was standing beside him, said at the right time: "Lin, after a while, Julie's new book is published, can you please write a preface?"

Lin Chaoyang's eyes looked at Judith Jones, noticed her subtext, and said happily: "Of course there is no problem."

Upon hearing this, Julia Nixon Eisenhower immediately smiled, "This is so good! Thank you,

Forest!"

After Julia Nixon Eisenhower left, Judith Jones looked at her back and said, "Her husband David Eisenhower is now a California Senator."

Lin Chaoyang nodded in a clear way. This is the fundamental reason for Judith Jones's look just now.

Lin Chaoyang has never participated in politics, but Lin's Film is developing in the United States. It would be a great thing to have a political help.

But obviously it is not easy to make friends with Julia Nixon Eisenhower couple like this. Helping to write a preface is just the beginning. Let’s leave the next thing to Tao Yushu.

The dinner ended, and the next day was the day when the National Book Critics Association Awards held.

Tao Yushu flew from the west coast to the east coast, and when he arrived at the Hilton Garden Hotel where Lin Chaoyang was staying, his eyes were covered in blood.

She came to the United States last week. Recently, Cheng Long's first film "Red Anime" premiered in the United States after joining Lin's Film.

Compared with later versions, this version of "Red Fan District" has greatly improved its cast in terms of investment and investment.

In addition to the soul character Cheng Long, Yi Ling, originally played by Anita Mui, has been changed to white actress Michelle Pfeiffer.

Michelle Pfeiffer has starred in movies such as "The Knight of Hollywood", "The Fat Boy", "Scarface", and "The Wife of the Gangster". He is a representative actress in Hollywood in the 1980s.

She has been used as a vase in genre films all year round and is known for her sexy and beautiful appearance.

In addition, Nancy, played by Ye Fanghua, was also replaced by Jennifer Aniston, who just debuted last year.

"Red Fan District" itself is another popcorn movie that focuses on action. The only protagonist is Cheng Long. Whether it is the heroine or the supporting actress, it only needs to be as beautiful as a flower and pleasing to the eye. This is everyone's consensus.

As it turns out, Lin's Film's strategy is very correct.

"Red Anime" was released in the United States last Friday. With Cheng Long's hot action scenes and two blond girls with strong presence, it won a box office of $16.55 million in the first weekend.

After a week of release, this number has turned into US$30.69 million, and it seems that the box office is expected to reach the threshold of "billion yuan club".

This version of "Red Fan District" invested 50 million US dollars. If you only count the box office in North America, it just recovered the cost. Currently, the mainland is

Xiangjiang, Wandao and other places have been released, and will be released in other countries in the future.

Cheng Long's movies are still very appealing overseas, especially this time the configuration is upgraded, coupled with subsequent copyright income such as videotape income, it is no problem for a movie "Red Fan District" to contribute $50 million in profits to Lin's Pictures.

"After the box office came out, Aaron was a little unsatisfied and planned to have some big scenes in the next film."

When Tao Yushu said this, he smiled.

A few years ago, whether in the local or foreign land, Cheng Long's appeal was stronger than Jet Li.

As a result, Jet Li held Lin's films, held two popular action films, "Black Man" and "Life and Death Speed", and made unprecedented success in Hollywood.

How could Cheng Long be content with this? "Red Fan District" invested 50 million US dollars. Cheng Long was very confident and planned to be proud, but unexpectedly the box office was a bit bad.

"I'm a little impatient. He thought it was so easy to break the box office for 100 million?"

"There is no way. He can't compare with Ajie's success before, and the media has put him on."

Lin Chaoyang quipped, "Your clam fight is really useful."

Tao Yushu snorted and said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of clam fights? This is called healthy competition."

"Yes, yes, benign competition."

Then the couple talked about the upcoming Oscars. Tao Yushu's biggest task this time was actually the Oscars.

"Dallas Buyer Club" has achieved unprecedented success in Lin's Film's history. Tao Yushu naturally hopes that this movie will win some Oscars, but unfortunately "Dallas Buyer Club" met "Forrest Gump".

"I have met several judges these days, and it seems that there is little hope. "Forrest Gump" is too politically correct and has too much influence in all sectors of American society.

Now a momentum has been formed in the media, and this session is almost destined to be a sweeping momentum.”

Tao Yushu said in a somewhat disappointed tone.

Lin Chaoyang felt a little laughed when he heard this. Once upon a time, a film like "Dallas Buyer Club" would lose political correctness.

After all, political correctness twenty years later is different from today's political correctness.

"It's okay, sometimes not winning a prize is a failure. The media say that this year is a "war between the gods". Perhaps in a few years, this will become a thing that many movie fans talk about."

Listening to his words, Tao Yushu felt a little comforted, "You are right."

The couple chatted for more than half an hour. Lin Chaoyang saw Tao Yushu's expression of fatigue and bloodshot eyes, and said with distress: "You go to bed for a while, I'll call you then."

"good."

Tao Yushu worked all day and then flew directly to New York. He only slept on the plane for nearly thirty hours.

She slept deeply in Lin Chaoyang's arms and was not awakened by Lin Chaoyang until four o'clock in the afternoon.

After washing, putting on makeup, changing clothes, and eating some snacks to soothe the empty stomach, the couple went out.

The National Book Critics Association Awards ceremony was held at the Wall Street Restaurant in Chipriani, not far from the Hilton Garden Inn.

However, it was the time to get off work, and the car moved to the entrance of the restaurant step by step.

Foreigners always like to place the awards of literary awards in the restaurant. They really don’t look tall and proud, and there is no banner at the door of the restaurant.

Lin Chaoyang didn't understand this situation, but expressed respect.

Fortunately, after entering the restaurant, I finally had a bit of an award ceremony atmosphere.

When the couple entered the restaurant, there were many people gathered, including the main members of the Book Reviewers Association and several award-winning writers.

The editor of the award-winning work and the publishers, publishers and journalists behind it.

There is only one Chinese on this year's award list, so Lin Chaoyang and his wife immediately attracted everyone's attention after they came in.

Alberto Veretta took the lead in giving applause, and everyone present also applauded to express their encouragement and respect for Lin Chaoyang, the winner.

He had just exchanged greetings with the members of the association, the award-winning writers and others for a few minutes, and the noise at the scene gradually became quiet.

At 6 p.m., the 1994 National Book Reviewers Association Award Ceremony was about to begin.

The person in charge of the award ceremony was John Updike, the most outstanding novelist in the United States. His "Rabbit Four" is known as a treasure in the history of American literature. He also won the recognition of this award twice in 1981 and 1990.

The National Book Critics Association Award has 6 awards, first of which is awarded, the review award, and then the poetry award. - and so on, the novel award is placed last, which also indirectly illustrates the status of novel awards in awards.

The non-fiction award is the second to last place in the award ceremony. The winning work is "The Plunder of Europe", which tells the story of Europe's destruction and plunder of art works of various dynasties by various countries during World War II.

The author Lynn H. Nicholas was very excited when he came to the stage to deliver his acceptance speech. In addition to thanking the association and readers, he focused on the main speech on reproaching wars and European politicians, which felt a bit like a white-left Saint Seiya.

It was the novel award method. When John Updike heard his name, Lin Chaoyang calmly walked to the stage. The audience burst into applause. The few reporters spared no effort to press the shutter, and the flash flashed.

It’s not that the journalists are excited. Although the National Book Reviewers Association Award is one of the three major literary awards in the United States, literature is really not very popular in the United States.

The Book Review Award has been around for exactly twenty years this year. If you talk about the evaluation of his works in the American literary world or the writer's own status in the literary world, there are several objects that can be compared with Lin Chaoyang.

But if we talk about the influence of the works among the public, Lin Chaoyang can be said to be the first in the gap. His award-winning work "Ambren Hunter" sold a total of 2.4 million copies last year.
