Chapter 20: The Most Unscrupulous Celebrity in History
Sundance International Film Festival, Best Short Film Awards.
Lin Han took the trophy from the host's hand, looked around at the surprised gaze below, nodded, and said calmly: "Thank you!" β
"Thank you to the Sundance Film Festival for the recognition of "Saw", thank you to the guests at the scene, and at the same time, I would like to thank my assistant director, everyone also saw that I am so young, although the script was written by me, but it is mainly due to my assistant director Huang Fanglin to be able to shoot so well!"
Hearing this, the people in the audience let out a burst of good-natured laughter, and Lin Han's humble attitude made many people nod secretly.
"Here, I would like to thank everyone in the crew who filmed the short film, and my assistant Miss Yang Yi, who has always taken care of my food, clothing, housing and transportation, so that I can fully devote my energy to the shooting of the short film! Thank you all, and next time, I hope I win the Best Picture award! β
In the end, Lin Han showed his ambition a little, in a country like the United States, which advocates self-expression, you have to be like this, and being humble will only make others think that you are not confident.
After Lin Han finished speaking, the host on the side came over, shook Lin Han's hand with a smile, and then said into the microphone: "Lin, this short film is amazing, I don't know what your original intention was and what inspired your creation?" β
Lin Han thought for a while and said: "First of all, I am a film and television lover, I have been watching all kinds of movies since I was a child, among them, I have watched a lot of horror movies. Why not a little bit of innovation? β
"That's why "Chainsaw" was born, although it still has the appearance of a plasma film, but in fact, it ultimately explores the good and evil of human nature, which is what I hope to convey to the audience!" After Lin Han finished speaking, he looked at the audience confidently, and everyone in the audience was slightly stunned, and then gave Lin Han a warm applause.
The old handsome host continued to ask at this time: "So, the last question, we all know that many short films that won the Best Short Film Award have precedents of being adapted into feature films, I wonder if "Chainsaw" will be made into a feature film?" β
Regarding this question, Lin Han first raised the trophy high, and then said in a firm tone: "I can give you an accurate answer, "Chainsaw" will definitely be made into a feature film, and when the time comes, I believe it will bring you a different horror experience, and please come to the cinema to cheer more!" Thank you! β
After speaking, Lin Han bowed slightly, and then strode off the stage and returned to Yang Yi's side.
"That's a good point!" Yang Yi was also on the list of thanks just now, and at this moment, his face was still slightly red, and when he saw Lin Han coming back, he immediately gave him a thumbs up.
On the stage, the host began his concluding speech: "Today's awards are very surprising to everyone, but the Sundance Film Festival is such a place, here, as long as you are talented, you can get affirmation, support, excavation, and cultivation of new film talents, is our consistent purpose, I hope the Sundance International Film Festival will get better and better, thank you for coming!" There are still two days left tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I hope everyone can take a good look at the films on display and don't lose the pearl. β
After the host finished speaking, he received a large round of applause, and then the host got off the stage, and the award was over, and everyone got up and left the auditorium.
As soon as Lin Han walked out of the door with Yang Yi, he saw at least three groups of people walking towards him, but before these three groups of people arrived, a blonde young man in his twenties walked in front of Lin Han.
The blonde young man smiled at Lin Han first, and then sat down to introduce himself: "Lin, hello, my name is Edward, I am the manager of the investment department of Galaxy Pictures, this is my business card!" β
Lin Han first took the business card, glanced at the gilded business card, handed it to Yang Yi next to him, and stretched out his hand to the blonde young man Edward and said, "Fortunately, I don't know what Mr. Edward has to say?" β
Edward shook hands with Lin Han and said: "Just now you said that "Chainsaw" is going to make a movie, so I'm here, after the movie is made, you need a distributor, I hope Mr. Lin can be the first to consider our Galaxy Pictures, after all, Galaxy Pictures has 70% of the theaters in North America!" β
Regarding Edward's suggestion, Lin Han was noncommittal: "Okay, I will definitely contact Mr. Edward when the time comes!" β
After receiving the answer, Edward did not stay long, said goodbye and strode out, without paying any attention to the three groups of people next to him.
After Edward left, the next three groups of people talked to Lin Han one after another, and Lin Han learned that they were from Disney Pictures, Universal Pictures, and Sony Pictures.
Like Edward of Galaxy Pictures, the three people in the film industry also wanted to cooperate with young talents like Lin Han, and Lin Han accepted the business cards one by one before sitting in Rolls-Royce.
The car was rented, and the bodyguard Li Qiang naturally played the role of the driver, and after closing the car door, Lin Han said with a smile: "Dude won the award tonight, let's go, go eat something delicious!" β
Li Qiang nodded, and the Rolls-Royce drove smoothly into the night.
After eating some steak and dessert in a western restaurant, Lin Han and the three returned to the hotel, and the next day, under the leadership of Lin Han, the three of them had a good time in Park City.
On January 27, Lin Han stepped on the flight back to China, and Lin Han, who was resting on the plane, did not know that at this moment, the country had exploded.
Due to the delay in the transmission of information, the news about Lin Han's award was first reported by the American media, then reprinted to Europe and other countries, and finally transmitted back to China.
In addition to the headlines of foreign media, some headlines have been added to the domestic entertainment media in China, but the content has not changed much.
"The Best Short Film Award at the 18th Sundance International Film Festival went to a 14-year-old Chinese teenager director" - Entertainment Weekly reprinted from Empire Magazine.
"Amazing Saw Horror, Amazing Oriental Boy!" -- New Era Entertainment News.
"Will horror films lead to a new round of rise? Comparable to the creativity of "The Grim Reaper"! - Fruit Entertainment World Magazine.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The domestic entertainment industry was stunned by Lin Han again, originally, it was surprising enough for Lin Han, a writer who wrote novels to cross over to become a singer, when many people thought that his album sales were average, Lin Han's album sold an astonishing 2 million copies in three weeks, which really slapped those media people who sang Lin Han in the face.
But what they never expected was that Lin Han actually went to the film industry again, although it was only a ten-minute short film, Nima actually won the award, and it was still such a famous award as Sundance International Film!
At this moment, domestic media people and critics are silent, and there is only one word in their hearts for Lin Han: serve!
If you don't accept it, you look at people, writing novels and gathering more than 100,000 fans, singing albums have sold 2 million, and making a short film has won the best, the most important thing is that Lin Han is still so young, people can't help asking: Is there anything else in this world that Lin Han, a demon, can't do?
If Lin Han knew, he would definitely answer them with a smile: "Of course there is, I won't have children!" β
Compared with the silent media circle and entertainment circle, the Internet is much more lively, netizens have discussed on the Internet, Lin Han's album has allowed him to occupy a lot of topics, and the news of winning the award at the Sundance International Film Festival came, and forums, Weibo, buckles and other places were all swiped immediately.
"Lin Han is so handsome, ahaha, he actually went to a foreign country to win the best award without making a sound, and won glory for the country!" -- Drunken years.
Yes, this is Lin Han's fan, it may be a book fan, or a fan, or both.
"The man that the old lady likes is really tough! Haha, Lin Han is an old lady, no one is allowed to rob it! - Lin Hantianzi's No. 1 fan Ruge said.
"Upstairs is too domineering, isn't it? Lin Han does not belong to one person, he belongs to everyone, he belongs to society, he is the treasure of this universe! "-- Nerd, yes, needless to say, you know you're an idealist by the name.
"Lin Han, this kid is too unprofessional, right? Writer? Singer? Director? Which is his main business, brother is messy in the wind! "--Fantasy Emperor God.
"He is the most singing author in the world of fiction, the most talented singer in the music industry, and the most singing director in the world of directing!" ββNetizens have love every day, and summed it up seriously.
The following suddenly burst into laughter, and countless follow-ups agreed.
"Ahaha, that's so right, appreciation!"
"Yes, yes, yes, if you want me to say, Lin Han is definitely the most unprofessional star in history!"
"Seconded +1"
"+1000 in favor!"
Jewell Records, Jay Chou's first reaction when he saw the report was not to believe it, and then he remembered, it seems that Lin Han did ask him to borrow someone to make a short film before, but didn't he go to shoot a VCR? How did it become a short film, and the most surprising thing is that this short film also won an award?!!
After reading the reports of various newspapers in detail, Jay Chou had to believe that this was the truth.
"This little junior brother, I have always wanted to enter the director world, but I didn't expect to be preempted by him, damn it, I must let him invite me to a big dinner!" -- Jay Lun thought sadly.
In the general manager's office, after reading the report, Yang Junrong was also stunned for a long time, and then smiled with relief: "This kid really won the award!" It's good, it's not in vain for the favor I spend! β
Compared with the surprise and shock of others, Yang Junrong is more mentally prepared, because Lin Han's short film called "Chainsaw" was first in his hands, and then he asked a friend of Haohan Pictures to send it to the Sundance International Film Festival to participate in it.
At that time, Yang Junrong thought that this was just Lin Han playing at home, and out of appreciation for Lin Han's talent, he asked his friend to send the short film to the Sundance International Film Festival.
Yang Junrong can only say that Lin Han is too good at tossing, but in this way, it is very beneficial to Lin Han's popularity, and the reports of domestic and foreign media have made Lin Han's exposure comparable to that of a first-line star!
Of course, popularity is virtual, and it must be grasped in time before it can be transformed into reality, so Yang Junrong played the inside line, called the relevant personnel in, and studied how to use this Lin Han's award-winning east wind to make Lin Han's album sales go to the next level!
On January 28, when Lin Han got off the plane at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, he was surrounded by the long guns and short cannons of dozens of media as soon as he stepped out of the exit, and hundreds of reporters rushed to Lin Han and began to ask all kinds of questions.
In addition, hundreds of Lin Han's fans rushed up, and the scene was suddenly chaotic, Li Qiang and Yang Yi saw this, and immediately broke through outside regardless of protecting Lin Han.
The airport also urgently deployed a large number of security personnel, and it took more than half an hour to calm down the chaos at the scene.
In the Lexus SUV, Lin Han and the three of them all looked like wolves, their sunglasses were gone, several shirt buttons were off, and their hairstyles were like chicken nests.
Lin Han, Yang Yi, and Li Qiang, you look at me, I look at you, and then they laughed together, and after a long time, the three of them quieted down.
Then, Lin Han saw Li Qiang come over seriously, and said: "Boss, in view of your popularity too fast, I personally strongly recommend that you increase the number of security personnel with you, otherwise, like today's situation, it is really difficult to control!" β
"Yes!" Yang Yi, who was still sorting out his bra over there, agreed, and after Lin Han's eyes came over, he blushed and turned around to sort out his bra.
Lin Han thought about it, and suddenly feared for a while in his heart, in today's chaotic situation, it is better to say that a few of his own people have been sinned, in case there is any stampede accident at the scene, he will really be a sinner!
"Do you have any recommendations for the additional security staff?" Lin Han thought about it and said to Li Qiang, although it was chaotic just now, Lin Han also saw Li Qiang's ability, and with the strength of one person, he forcibly opened a way with his strong body to take Lin Han to break through.
Li Qiang lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "Well, I have a candidate, hiring him, it will definitely be worth the money, in addition, there are two more people, a guard team composed of four people, can barely cope with today's situation!" β
Four people? Lin Han was a little surprised, nodded, and said, "Yes, as long as it's a good hand, I'll want it!" By the way, Yang Yi, do you know how many bodyguards my senior brother Jay Chou has? β
Yang Yi, who finally sorted out his underwear on the side, heard this and stretched out a finger.
"One? It's impossible, what kind of bull is so fierce, one person can resist Jay's countless enthusiastic fans?!! Lin Han said in surprise.
Yang Yi shook his head and said, "It's not one, it's ten!" Moreover, in this ten-person bodyguard group, black and white people account for half of them, all of them are strong men with a height of nearly two meters, and the rest of the yellow bodyguards are all elite, and it is said that one is a Japanese ninja! β
"Uh, ninja ......" Lin Han was speechless, he didn't expect that Jay Chou's bodyguard team even had a creature like a ninja, which shows how terrifying Jay Chou's popularity is, and it takes a ten-person bodyguard team, including ninjas, to cope with the needs of travel.
In comparison, Lin Han suddenly felt that he was very shabby now that he only had one bodyguard, and after thinking about it again, Lin Han suddenly found that he seemed to lack a makeup artist, stylist and agent, since he was looking for a bodyguard, he simply matched these together.
After making a decision, Lin Han suddenly said calmly: "Li Qiang, back to the company, let's complete the relevant personnel!" β
Li Qiang also nodded seriously, and then Yang Yi next to him broke through and laughed with a "poof", for no other reason, because Lin Han and Li Qiang of Yan sΓΉ are both holding a chicken nest at the moment, and the picture is too unbearable.
