That year Huayu

Hollywood is really busy during the awards season. There are all kinds of tidbits and there are a lot of "stars" who are awesome.

Sometimes she is a socialite Hilton, and sometimes she is an internet celebrity Kardashian, but in Lin Nan's eyes they all look like ghosts.

After a good night's sleep, he even heard that an adaptation of "Journey to the West" was being prepared here?

Even the male lead has been decided, and will be played by Chinese actor Yan Wu.

Good guy, what a shocking piece of film and television information!

Lin Nan had a hunch that after the news spread back to China, Teacher Six had to prepare ammunition. Once the broadcast starts here, the cannon will definitely start over there.

"How's it going, Lin? This "Fifty Shades Darker" is pretty good, right? Hehe..."

In the office, looking at Tom's lewd smile, Lin Nan admitted that the tone of the "Fifty Shades" series is indeed very popular.

"Very good! I remember what the total box office of "Fifty Shades of Grey" was?"

“So far, the total global box office has reached US$500 million, which is very profitable!

Lionsgate has treated it as a key series project, and its distribution efforts will increase again. "

This box office figure sounds very high, but in the hands of Crystal Pictures, it would only be a little over 100 million US dollars.

After all, it is jointly produced with Lionsgate, and the distribution costs are not low. But it cannot be denied that it is still a bloody profit, because the investment in the movie is not much.

Lin Nan couldn't help but joked: "Is this why you are not stingy and changed your car?"

"Don't say that, I call it 'diligence and frugality', that's what it says in Chinese, right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Lin Nan couldn't help but show a contemptuous smile, this guy is quite capable of quibbles.

Apart from being greedy for money and lust, Tom's biggest fault is being stingy and stingy! Still "frugal and frugal"? hehe!

Lin Nan ignored Tom and looked through the invitation on the table.

He was going to pick and choose which movie parties to go to. After all, PR parties have to come and go.

The phone buzzed, it was Leonardo.

Lin Nan answered the phone without thinking: "Leon, what's the matter? I'm busy now."

"Lin, don't rush for anything at this moment. Well, except Oscar.

Do you have time in the evening? Do you want to come out and sit down? There’s a big show tonight…”

Show off your uncle!

For a moment, Lin Nan couldn't help laughing.

He thought of Liu Yifei's coquettish "admonitions" and "warnings" in his arms outside the Capital Airport, as well as her sly eyes.

Miss Liu is really far-sighted, as witty as she is, and incredibly shrewd, and she uses it all on Lin Nan! No doubt the movie queen!

"Leon, I'm a serious person, I can't appreciate it."

After Lin Nan said this, the person on the phone was stunned for a few seconds.

"What do you mean? I don't understand, Lin."

"You'd better go by yourself, haha..."

Lin Nan said with a smile. Then he glared at Tom who was standing sneakily at the door. The latter smiled awkwardly but didn't move his feet.

"Okay, Lin. Blame me for forgetting that you are about to get married. You are more conservative, haha..."

Leonardo thought of something and teased.

"This is not a conservative issue at all. It's impossible for you, a person who changes girlfriends and clothes, to understand!" Lin Nan joked back.

"Uh..., I can't refute this sentence. I really can't understand you, so let's do it. I'll go by myself. See you tomorrow!"

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Lin Nan smiled and shook his head: "When you like someone to the core, you can understand."

"Tom, are you going to snitch?"

"Lin, listen to my explanation..."

…………

News about the world premiere of "One Step Away" has reached Hollywood.

To be honest, Jiang Wen's reputation here is quite high. Many foreigners have high but not low evaluations of him.

When Liu Yifei attended the premiere on behalf of herself and Lin Nan, she enjoyed the best treatment.

She sat in the first row, with Xu Ke on her left and Ning Hao on her right.

Looking around, among the row of great directors, she is the most conspicuous; she is the only woman and the only insider who is not a director!

"Lin Nan, I don't understand. I'm going to wait until it is released tomorrow to see it. Am I stupid?"

Lying in bed, Lin Nan listened to Liu Yifei's sleepy and somewhat frustrated nasal voice on the phone. He thought it was quite funny. She was so serious!

"Don't doubt your own appreciation level. It's normal to not understand Jiang Wen's movies the first time you watch them.

What's more, Director Jiang is already stunned. The success of "Let the Bullets Fly" led him to take a more extreme path.

Believe me, Ning Hao probably went back in a daze. "

"Really? But when he was being interviewed, he talked about a lot of things in a serious manner. What movies are shocking, the IMAX3D effect is great, the picture quality is very strong, the actors' acting skills are impeccable, and the lines and soundtrack are highlights..."

"You didn't mention the content of the movie at all, right? Haha..." Lin Nan couldn't help laughing.

He knows Ning Hao too well, a director who tells stories, to tout these movie hardware! Think about it carefully, don’t you think it’s funny?

"Huh? It seems that he didn't evaluate the content of the movie. Other directors seem to be like this too.

Director Jiang also joked that the people he mentioned were all acquaintances, so he was embarrassed to praise him too much..."

Yes, everyone is cheering, only Director Jiang is really into the show.

He should be regarded as the most confident director in the Mainland, but if he is too confident, that is arrogance! Yes, this is exactly Jiang Wen's character.

"They also asked me what I thought after watching it." Liu Yifei suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"What did you say?"

"I said it without conscience: It's very beautiful, very exciting!"

"No problem, that's what I should say at the scene." Lin Nan confirmed.

"But Director Jiang Wen was a scoundrel. He interrupted on stage and said, 'Yifei's evaluation is Lin Nan's evaluation,' and then..."

Damn it, Lin Nan wanted to curse after hearing this. As expected of Jiang Wen, his face and skills are invincible!

"Forget it, let it go." Lin Nan could only say speechlessly.

After chatting with Liu Yifei for more than an hour, they hung up the phone until they heard constant yawns from the other side. One continued to sleep and the other began to rest.

…………

Hollywood, eight o'clock the next morning.

After washing up, Lin Nan, dressed in a casual suit, got into the car that Tom picked him up from.

The "Manchester by the Sea" public relations reception will officially start at nine o'clock. As director and production company boss, Lin Nan must arrive in advance.

"I heard that guy Leon took a new supermodel with him when he left the show yesterday. He's not yet 22 years old."

"The tone of your words is very sour?" Lin Nan teased.

"It's sour. In this Hollywood, all the young girls want to hook up with Leon. Even if they know they will be dumped, their worth will double!"

Tom said enviously, envious of Little Plum!

"By the way, Matt said hello and will come over today."

"Well, I'll see you later."

…

It is not an exaggeration to describe the public relations during the awards season as spending money like water.

The cocktail receptions, parties, and gifts are all spending real money.

This is a big gamble. If you win, you will make a lot of money back. If you lose, you will come back next time!

The nomination is a small bonus before the final award, which can allow some films to maintain their capital.

When Lin Nan and Tom arrived, the place was already busy.

It is estimated that there are at least close to a hundred people, and champagne and delicious food can be seen everywhere. In addition to the members of the academy, they are basically actors and celebrities, because this is also the best occasion for socializing and entertainment.

"Lin, long time no see. Welcome to join the academy."

"I hope you can make up for the regret at the Oscars at the beginning of the year and go one step further..."

"Great movie, really."

…

"Lin, we meet again, isn't Crystal here?"

"She is in China and will come with her next month."

Lin Nan accepted the embrace of Marion Cotillard, who also has a film competing for the Olympics, but it is not an English film.

Leonardo and Jessica Chastain arrived earlier and joined in now.

"Lin, my trophy depends on you."

"You are too ambitious. You just won the Best Supporting Actress at the beginning of the year."

"But this time, there is hope of winning the Best Actress Award. At least the Golden Ball is just one step away." Jessica smiled excitedly.

"Matt's here."

Leonardo suddenly looked in the direction of the door.

Lin Nan also looked over, his eyes suddenly brightening.

I saw Matt Damon leading the way, followed by several acquaintances: Zhang Yimou, Liu Dehua and Jing Tian.

"Lin, I tried my best to attend the reception, which delayed a lot of training."

Lin Nan and Matt bumped shoulders, and then greeted Zhang Yimou and the others.

"I'm really surprised and happy that Director Zhang can come."

"You should come and see it. After all, you are the only one in the country. Everyone is looking forward to it."

"Brother Hua, how was the training?"

"It's not easy, haha. Director Lin, you can visit our class another day."

"no problem."

Lin Nan finally looked at Jing Tian, ​​who had a smile on his face and sparkling eyes.

"Come on, Tiantian. This movie will be helpful to you."

"Well, thank you Brother Lin, I know. Next month, the month after that, Brother Lin will definitely stand on the podium."

Jing Tian nodded and said seriously.

"This is my sister."

Lin Nan turned around and introduced Leonardo and Tom with a smile. They all nodded to Jingtian, which was like saying hello and getting acquainted.

"Lin, there is something I need to tell you."

"Director Zhang, Brother Hua, and Tiantian, please go around by yourself first. We'll see you soon."

After speaking, Lin Nan and Leonardo went aside amid the responses of Zhang Yimou and Liu Dehua.

Looking at the figure walking away, Jing Tian was in a trance for a while and murmured: "It's pretty good..."

…

In the corner of the party, Leonardo was talking about his business.

"I will join the cast at the end of the month, and I will come back later for the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony.

In the main competition section of Berlin, we should be fine, after all, the qualifications are there. At that time, I will also adjust my time from the crew to participate with everyone. If Oscar goes well, the same thing will happen..."

Well, here's another Matt Damon lookalike, busy with a new movie.

Of course Lin Nan has no objection. Actors are just like that.

"Okay, no problem. By the way, what movie have you accepted this time? The one who can make you accept it must be a top-notch team." Lin Nan asked curiously.

Leonardo couldn't help but smile:

"Yes. This time it's still a movie competing for awards. I've read the script. It's adapted from a novel. I have to suffer. It's a bit torturous."

"What novel? I'll read it later." Lin Nan asked curiously.

"The Revenant!"
