Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1936 Can you not go up?

"Time" magazine selects a person of the world every year. The purpose of the selection is "to select the person who has the most important impact on news and people's lives, for better or worse."

Before "1992" is about to be released, "Time" has decided to select Lin Daoqiu as this year's man of the year.

Last year, it was a woman of Chinese descent who was named Person of the Year. This year, another Chinese was selected as Person of the Year. I don’t know if this was deliberately arranged by Time Magazine.

However, it is a bit late to select Lin Daoqiu now. It stands to reason that he should be the next year after the release of "Godzilla".

As for "Time" magazine's selection of himself as the man of the year, Lin Daoqiu was not in any excitement or happy mood about it.

What he even hoped was whether he could not use this kind of thing, because it would not be of any benefit to him.

Lin Daoqiu's idea is very simple. It is best to keep a low profile in Hollywood, because his acquisitions in recent years have attracted some people's attention.

Fortunately, they did not regard Xiangjiang or the mainland as a threat, so Lin Daoqiu will not be targeted yet.

But "Time" magazine selected Lin Daoqiu as the man of the year this time, then he will be paid attention to by more American media in the future.

If there are any big-ticket acquisitions in the future, it will definitely be reported overwhelmingly, which is definitely not what Lin Daoqiu wants.

So for him, being this man of the year is definitely a matter of doing more harm than good.

But it's a pity that Lin Daoqiu couldn't stop it, because those people wouldn't like him at all, so he wouldn't accept an interview with "Time" magazine.

As for what they will write about Lin Daoqiu in this weekly magazine, I don't know, but Lin Daoqiu can probably guess that it should be mixed, and even hint that he will pose a threat to Hollywood.

"Are you really not going to be interviewed?"

After Langmeyer learned that Lin Daoqiu was selected as "Time" magazine's man of the year, he actually refused the other party's request for an interview, which was very surprising to Langmeyer.

One must know that being selected as Time Magazine's Person of the Year will add points to his reputation around the world, which is definitely a fast track for a person who wants to become famous.

But Langmeyer could probably guess why Lin Daoqiu didn't want to be selected, because he didn't want to be famous at all.

"If I don't accept an interview, can they replace this candidate with someone else?"

Langmeyer shook his head with a smile. Since the group of "Time" weekly magazines have already selected something, how can they be easily replaced unless there is a major change.

In 911, when 2001/[-] happened, the terrorist leader almost became Time Magazine's Person of the Year.

If it weren't for the fear of causing an uproar, those guys in "Time" magazine would really dare to do this, after all, this is the purpose of their selection.

"Anyway, I don't bother to do whatever they want. This is their freedom and I can't stop it. But if possible, I really hope to change people, even if it costs money."

Lin Daoqiu really thought about spending some money to see if they could change the candidate to someone else, but at least from the current point of view, this is probably unlikely.

"Okay, since you don't want to accept their interview, it's fine. Anyway, this kind of thing will be selected once a year. After a while, everyone will forget about it. You don't need to worry too much."

The popularity of this kind of man of the hour, who is selected every year, will not last for too long. After a period of time, after some major events happen, everyone probably won't be able to remember them.

Of course, Lin Daoqiu hopes that this is the best, but in fact, what he is most worried about is that "Time" magazine will focus on his relationship between men and women, which is the last thing he wants to see.

However, Kleidberg, the editor-in-chief of "Time" magazine, was still surprised when he learned that Lin Daoqiu rejected their interview request.

"Why? Why doesn't he want to be interviewed by us? Doesn't he know it's a great honor to be named Time's Person of the Year?"

In Kleidberg's view, "Time" magazine has considerable influence in various regions of the world, and Lin Daoqiu refused their interview request, which is simply unimaginable.

"I don't know, but according to the information we have collected about Lin Daoqiu, since he started making movies, he has not been a person who likes to appear in front of the audience. He is really strange."

For the editors of "Time" magazine, when they collected information on Lin Daoqiu, they found that this person was very mysterious, basically rarely appeared in front of the public, and even accepted an interview once every few years.

So this time he declined an interview with "Time" magazine, which is not a very surprising thing.

"The more such people are, the more valuable they are to interview. Let me handle this matter."

Clydeberg looked eager to try, because Lin Daoqiu had too little information, but his achievements in the film industry can be said to be outstanding.

Had he been able to do an in-depth interview, there would be more to write about in Time's Man of the Year issue.

So Kleidberg went directly to MGM's headquarters with his assistant, and he wanted to invite Lin Daoqiu in person.

"Mr. Berg, I am Richardson, the president of MGM. It is a pleasure to meet you."

When Clydeberg arrived at MGM, it was not Lin Daoqiu but Richardson who came out to greet him.

"Just call me Clyde."

Kleidberg looked around and was somewhat disappointed to find that no one else was in Richardson's office.

Because before he went upstairs, he had declared his family name, but Lin Daoqiu was nowhere to be seen when he came here. Could it be that he was hiding from him on purpose?

"Clyde, what are you looking for?"

Richardson found that after Kleidberg entered the door, he began to look around, looking like he was looking for something, which made him feel very puzzled.

"Actually, to tell you the truth, the main purpose of my visit today is to meet Mr. Lin Dao Qiulin. I wonder if you can help me arrange it."

"It's really unfortunate that Mr. Lin flew to Maine yesterday, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back."

Kleidberg did not expect Lin Daoqiu to go to Maine, which made him not know what to say for a while.

"Please don't worry, I will call later to inform Mr. Lin about your visit, and I will ask him to contact you as soon as he comes back."

Kleidberg just smiled slightly at this. He felt that Lin Daoqiu was hiding from him on purpose. He might even be in the MGM building right now, but he didn't want to come out to meet him.

At this moment, Kleidberg suddenly had a plan.

"Well, please tell Mr. Lin that we found some major controversies when collecting and arranging his information. I am here this time to seek proof from him in person, otherwise we can only publish it truthfully based on the collected information."
