Chapter 236 Pirates

ps:  Thanks to book friends for their rewards for “Guanghui 11 Coverage”!!

Lin Zhimo found that the person in front of him was not focused on the game just like him. He was curious and couldn't help but put his head over, wanting to see what the other party was doing with his head down.

After Lin Zhimo approached, he found that the other party was writing something in a notebook with a pencil. When Lin Zhimo saw the other party's words clearly, he couldn't help but exclaim.

Although the man focused all his thoughts on what he wrote, so he didn't even bother to watch football games, he still heard the sound of Lin Zhimo making in his ears.

He immediately looked at Lin Zhimo with an unhappy expression.

How to say that what a person writes should be considered a private matter. Even if it is not a confidential matter, it is not a happy thing to be seen by others like this.

Lin Zhimo was naturally very embarrassed. He just wanted to see what the other party was doing out of curiosity, and had no other intentions. At this time, he was knocked out by the person involved, even though Lin Zhimo had been practicing for a long time, his face still turned red.

"Sorry, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to see what you wrote, I was just curious for a moment... I'm sorry!" Lin Zhimo blushed and apologized.

The man saw that Lin Zhimo was quite sincere, and thought that the other party might not know what he was writing, so he nodded and planned to continue writing his own things. At the same time, a question arose in his mind: "This person looks familiar..."

But he thought about it this way and did not continue to study it. After all, in his opinion, Asians almost all look the same.

Although the middle-aged man turned his head, Lin Zhimo's curiosity was aroused because he just saw that the other party wrote was a script, and if so, it should be a movie script.

However, his behavior just now had already made the other party unhappy, and Lin Zhimo was embarrassed to continue disturbing the other party.

At this moment, Shakira also sat down from the seat. She saw Lin Zhimo's face look a little weird and asked, "Lin, what's wrong? I see that your face is a little bad."

How could Lin Zhimo tell this matter out, so he responded vaguely: "It's nothing, I'm fine."

The middle-aged man who was originally sitting in front of Lin Zhimo couldn't help but turn around when he heard the conversation between Lin Zhimo and Shakira. When he saw Shakira, his eyes lit up. He smiled and said, "I just said why it sounds familiar. It's really you, Shakira!"

Shakira was slightly surprised when she saw the other party, and then smiled and said, "Hi! Hello Terry. I really didn't expect to see you here!"

Lin Zhimo felt a little embarrassed when he saw Shakira knowing each other again. He rubbed his legs unnaturally. After all, his behavior just now was not something worthy of praise.

Shakira did not notice Lin Zhimo's little moves. She enthusiastically recommended Lin Zhimo: "Lin, this is Terry Rosio. is a screenwriter; Terry, this is Lin Zhimo. You should have seen the performance of both of us a few days ago."

Terry then realized why he looked at Lin Zhimo. At the same time, he also remembered that Lin Zhimo won the Best Actor at the Berlin Film Festival, so he smiled and reached out and said, "Hello, Lin."

"Uh, hello, Mr. Rosio, I'm really sorry just now." Although Lin Zhimo felt embarrassed, he still admitted his mistakes frankly.

Lin Zhimo's attitude greatly changed Terry's impression of him. Regardless of whether Lin Zhimo was deliberately reading what he wrote just now, Lin Zhimo's honest character is quite praised by him.

"Lin, did something happen just now?" Shakira asked inexplicably.

"It's nothing. There was some small misunderstanding just now. Lin Duo thought about it. It's okay." Before Lin Zhimo could answer Terry, he answered Shakira's question first.

Lin Zhimo looked at Terry with some gratitude, then said to Shakira: "It's nothing, it's really okay."

"Is that true?" Shakira looked at the two of them suspiciously. She could naturally see what was going on between the two of them, but she also knew that there were some things that men did not want women to know, so she had to suppress the doubts in her heart.

Since Lin Zhimo and Terry had Shakira, the common friend of the two, the little misunderstanding just now was naturally not worth mentioning. Lin Zhimo also learned from Shakira that Terry was actually a Hollywood celebrity. At the Oscar that just passed, Terry and another screenwriter Ted Elliott were nominated for the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay.

Because Shakira was focused on watching the game, Lin Zhimo and Terry naturally chatted together.

"Terry, ask presumptuously, were you writing a movie script just now?" Lin Zhimo asked hesitated.

"Yeah? Yes, yes, you see?"

Terry was stunned at first, and then he thought that Lin Zhimo was also an actor, so he understood.

"Yes, I am actually a screenwriter myself." Lin Zhimo said, and then continued to ask, "I think you want to write a movie about Pirates?"

"Oh? Are you still a screenwriter?" Terry did not answer Lin Zhimo's words, but instead looked at Lin Zhimo in surprise.

Most of the stars in the entertainment industry in European and American countries only specialize in the first industry. Singers are singers and rarely become actors; actors rarely make records because of "acting and singing as good as they are".

But now Lin Zhimo is both a singer and an actor, and even says that he is also a screenwriter. This surprised Terry, and he even felt a ridiculous feeling in his heart. In his opinion, Lin Zhimo is quite unemployed.

At this time, the US team's offensive had just ended, and Shakira sat down again. She said to Terry: "Terry, don't underestimate Lin. He is the most talented person I have ever met!"

After saying that, Terry introduced Lin Zhimo in detail. Things like record sales and box office miracles are naturally great, and Lin Zhimo's deeds also made Terry stunned. He never thought that Lin Zhimo was so versatile.

"Lin, you are so amazing!" Terry couldn't help but give Lin Zhimo a thumbs up. He and Shakira are also old friends. He believed Shakira's words. With Shakira's personality, even if these words are exaggerated, they are not far from there.

It is precisely because of this that he is deeply impressed by Lin Zhimo. As Shakira said just now, the achievements Lin Zhimo has achieved in every industry may have to work hard for others for the rest of his life, but Lin Zhimo has done everything well.

Lin Zhimo quickly said modestly: "I am not as exaggerated as Shakira said."

After a few polite sentences, Lin Zhimo turned the topic again to the drama itself that Terry just wrote.

"Actually, I wanted to write a story about a pirate story that I had been there ten years ago, but I didn't receive news until recently that some investors were willing to shoot such a pirate-themed movie, so Ted and I started to create it." Terry's attitude towards Lin Zhimo is completely different from what he had just said. So he explained it to Lin Zhimo a little. Then he asked, "Why, are you interested in pirates too?"

Lin Zhimo smiled and said, "No, I just felt a little curious when I saw the script you wrote. Do you want to write a story about the Vikings?"

The Vikings lived in Nordic Europe more than 1,000 years ago, today Norway, Denmark and Sweden. They invaded European coastal and British islands from the 8th to the 11th century AD. Their footprints covered vast territory from the European continent to the Arctic. This period in Europe is called the "Viking Period".

Movies and literary works about Vikings are common. That's why Lin Zhimo asked this question.

Terry shook his head: "No, we are going to write a story about the pirates of the Caribbean Sea in the 16th and 17th century. It is far from the time of the Vikings."

"Oh..." Lin Zhimo nodded, then raised his eyebrows and asked, "The 16th and 7th century? At that time, our China was also a period of raging pirates..."

Now it was Terry's turn to be interested. He had searched a lot of documents about Pirates of the Caribbean for this movie, and even dug out all the travel documents of the Royal Fleet of the British during that period. At this time, he heard that Lin Zhimo knew about the story of Chinese pirates in that period, and he couldn't help but feel itchy.

"Really? Can you tell me?" Terry asked anxiously.

"Of course!" Lin Zhimo naturally would not refuse. After recalling a little, he did not tell the story at the first time, but instead asked Terry: "Terry, I think you must have checked a lot of documents about pirate deeds at that time, right?"

"That's natural." Although Terry didn't understand why Lin Zhimo asked this, he still answered confidently: "For this reason, I read as many books as many as a box."

"You are so diligent." First, he praised Terry, and Lin Zhimo asked again: "Since you have read so many books, have you ever heard of the name Nicholas Yiguan?"

"Nicolah...a official?" Terry said this word with some difficulty, frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "I remember that there is such a name. It seems that the Dutch leader in Southeast Asia at that time had very strong strength in Southeast Asia!"

Lin Zhimo nodded and said, "Yes, as you said, this man named Nikola Yiguan was the largest pirate in Southeast Asia at that time. He had 100,000 pirates under his command!"

"100,000!" Terry couldn't help but take a breath. You should know that even those pirate colonized countries at that time, they only had 100,000 soldiers. Under Nicholas's command, there were 100,000 pirates alone, which was terrifying to think about it.

"He is very famous in your Chinese history?" Terry couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Of course it's famous." Lin Zhimo smiled, "But he is not as famous as his son. His son is Zheng Chenggong. He drove away the Dutch stationed in Taiwan and occupied Taiwan."

Terry couldn't help but sigh: "What a hero's father and son!"

Lin Zhimo smiled slightly.

Because of this topic, the conversation between Lin Zhimo and Terry went very smoothly, and Terry also got a lot of creative inspiration from the stories Lin Zhimo told.

"Lin, it's really a pleasure to chat with you. I hope we can cooperate next time." At the end of the game, Terry actually felt that he had a long time to meet Lin Zhimo. He has believed in Shakira's words just now. After all, Lin Zhimo's knowledge in his mind is too rich, and his vision is very unique. When looking at things, he will always find another unknown side.

As a screenwriter, Terry naturally has very rich knowledge. After all, he needs to write a script as realistic as possible, which requires him to have a lot of knowledge reserves, but he feels that he is probably a little worse than Lin Zhimo.

"You will definitely have a chance!"

Shakira interrupted at this time and said, "Next, Lin Zhimo plans to work with me on a record in the United States. If nothing unexpected happens, with this opportunity, I believe that he will soon have a place in Hollywood."

Although Terry had already looked at Lin Zhimo with admiration after contacting him, he was still questioned whether Lin Zhimo could enter the US market with this record as Shakira said.
