Chapter 470: An Unexpected Surprise
At seven o'clock in the morning, the flight arrived in Los Angeles.
Lin Nan and his assistant walked towards the exit of the airport with the sparse crowd, yawning from time to time.
"It's still a little cool in this weather."
He tightened his clothes and muttered.
"It should have rained in the wee hours of the morning, and it was indeed cold, and the temperature was estimated to be less than 5 degrees Celsius?"
The assistant next to him added in due course.
Lin Nan nodded, after all, it was already the end of December.
"Let's go, they're waiting outside the airport."
A big round fat man, dressed in a high-end suit, was looking outside the airport.
There were also three limousines parked next to him, followed by six people in his entourage.
Lin Nan saw Tom at a glance, and so did the latter.
"Lin, I miss you to death!"
Tom grinned and laughed as he greeted him, opening his arms for a hug.
However, when he approached, Lin Nan stretched out his hand and cruelly refused.
At this time, Lin Nan had a speechless expression on his face, and he was quite disgusted.
Except for the subprime mortgage crisis, every time he saw Tom, this guy would be a lot rounder, and he would not be thin at all.
This image, wearing a suit, feels very funny and nondescript no matter how you look at it.
"Tom, if you used to be a rugby, now congratulations, you can remove the word 'olive'!"
Lin Nan really couldn't hold back and told a cold joke.
The assistants and employees around him lowered their heads and forced a smile.
The smile on Tom's face froze in one moment, and the next moment he became very depressed.
"Lin, don't talk about this sad topic, I've been trying hard to lose weight. But, they always tempt me, damn it! ”
"I've been holding on for half a year, but my body can't bear it......"
Tom frowned, bitterly looking for a reason, and shirked his "responsibility".
"What temptation? Banquets, parties, wine and meat...... Or are those girls? ”
Lin Nan shook his head and counted.
He treats Tom as a friend and his own, this size and indulgent life rules, if you don't control it, maybe you will die suddenly one day!
"Start today and lose weight. I don't want to be notified in China one day to come over for your funeral. ”
Looking at Lin Nan's serious and sincere appearance, Tom sighed and nodded.
"By the way, didn't Crystal say I'd come with you?"
Tom diverted the topic of trouble and asked Liu Yifei.
"She has a job, and she'll come later." Lin Nan sat in the back seat of the car and replied.
"Okay. Now, is it back to the company or Beverly Hills? ”
"Villa."
"Okay."
…………
On the domestic side, the release of three blockbusters has made the Chinese New Year file more and more full of gunsmoke.
Cheng Long's "Zodiac" gave the industry a surprise, with a first-day box office of 44.2 million, leading the way.
Relatively speaking, although "Thai Embarrassment" is still more than a month away from the next release, it has entered the closing period, with 12.8 million on the same day, and the follow-up will only get lower and lower.
But even with this achievement, it still beats Liu Weiqiang's "Blood Drops" and Wang Jing's "Big Shanghai".
The former had a box office of 8.6 million on the first day, and the latter reported 12.45 million on the first day, all of which were far from the expected goal.
Yu Dong's goods, but in front of the media, he bragged about it.
He shouted that "Big Shanghai" and "The Grandmaster" will definitely get at least 1 billion box office in this Chinese New Year.
Looking at the situation now, the burden of the 1 billion box office has to be given to "The Grandmaster".
"Zodiac" was released for 3 days and cut 160 million. Huayi's incremental ladder account sharing agreement should not be given to "1942", but should be signed to "Zodiac" ......"
The media report directly tore apart Huayi's scars.
The movies produced by its own wholly owned are at a loss, while the co-produced movies are good at the box office!
Director Lin Nan arrived at Los Angeles Airport at about 10 o'clock last night domestic time. Tom, the owner of Crystal Pictures, personally picked up the airport ......"
The slightest wind and grass can't hide from the eyes of the media.
At the beginning of a new day, domestic film and television entertainment news has already reported on Lin Nan's whereabouts, including airport photos.
"Are you really going to Hollywood?"
Many people in the circle have such feelings.
As for what Lin Nan will do next when he goes there, the industry has some faint expectations.
Liu Yifei received a call from Lin Nan last night, and as for those inquiries on Weibo, she didn't bother to reply.
…………
"When this time comes, I know that I can't avoid these entertainments!"
The Oscars awards season has begun, and it's time to spend money every year, PR!
Lin Nan didn't expect to come at the right time, just in time for the premiere of "Django Unchained" and the public relations party.
A Golden Lion director is definitely the object of the invitation and will never be missed.
In the past few years, whether it is its own development or its cooperation with Lionsgate and Warner, it can be described as wind and water.
Lin Nan, the boss, is naturally also concerned by more Hollywood companies, including several other production giants.
At the reception, after greeting Lionsgate, Warner, Disney, and Columbia, Lin Nan and Tom went in the other direction.
"Lin, welcome to Django Unchained."
Leonardo and Lin Nan hugged each other, attracting the attention of many people around them.
"Going to win again?" Lin Nan asked meaningfully.
"Yes, I am a supporting actor and villain in this movie, and I have been nominated for a Golden Globe Award."
Although he has already won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, Leonardo still seems very happy, and he will not ignore any award.
"Then good luck, including an Oscar nomination."
"Thank you. Also, I'm waiting for your script. ”
Lin Nan chuckled, "After two days, you can come to Crystal Pictures." ”
Hearing this, Leonardo paused, his eyes lit up, and then nodded, "No problem, these two days have been really busy." ”
An award-winning film director is the object that most Hollywood actors are willing to befriend.
To be honest, many actors and stars who came up to say hello, Lin Nan couldn't remember their appearance, except for a few recognizable ones, such as Anne Hathaway and others.
"Director Lin, what a coincidence, I saw you here."
The familiar Mandarin made Lin Nan subconsciously turn his head, it was Zhang Ziyi.
"It's a coincidence. Huh? I remember. You're also a member of the Academy Academy, one of the thousands of judges, with a ticket, haha. ”
Lin Nan thought of this matter in an instant.
In the hottest years when Zhang Ziyi and foreigners fought, she became a member of the Academy of Oscars, which was also the peak of her career.
"Director Lin laughed, just lucky."
Zhang Ziyi's face is full of smiles, this is also her current identity in Hollywood, the most capable identity.
She looked at Leonardo: "Leon, your role as Calvin Candy is really good, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely vote for you." ”
"Thank you."
After chatting a few words, Zhang Ziyi asked for a group photo of the three of them.
Lin Nan could guess what she would do, but it was not easy to refuse.
Sure enough, when Lin Nan returned to his villa in Beverly Hills after the banquet was over, the group photo had already appeared on the Internet.
"At the Oscar season and the movie "Django Unchained" cocktail party, I took a photo with director Lin Nan and Leonardo, looking forward to the latter winning the Golden Globe and Oscar ......"
is the same as Lin Nan's guess, the international chapter was really taken and posted on social networking sites, and his thoughts were deep. But it has to be said that the effect is good.
On the domestic side, the Internet was instantly lively.
"This is the Oscars season reception, and the international chapter is full of coffee."
"In the mainland's big flowers, the only Oscar judge!"
"This wave has arrived, stabilizing Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing and others!"
"It's just because of this identity that I can get in......"
……
"I just want to know, what did Director Lin do over there."
"I haven't heard of a new movie. Could it be that you really went to a party? ”
…………
"He's going to make a movie, but it's probably going to take a few days before it gets announced."
Liu Yifei nodded at Shu Zhan's head and said, I was really annoyed.
"I just asked, why don't you knock someone else!"
Shu Zhan said angrily. If she hadn't been able to beat Liu Yifei, she would definitely knock it back.
"Who let you be in front of me, and I can't reach anyone else.
Okay, okay, I'll drive us out to eat, and I'll compensate you, okay. ”
Liu Yifei said with a smile, she just clicked lightly, but she didn't use any force, her best friend was so simple!
…………
On the side of Crystal Pictures, there are quite a lot of various jobs.
The post-production and special effects outsourcing of many movies outside are here, and there are even some animated films.
The type, quantity, etc., are not comparable to the heavenly color, after all, the two sides of the market are still far apart.
"Lin, Matt is here."
With the knock on the door, as well as Tom's voice, Lin Nan was a little caught off guard.
When he spoke to Matt Damon on the phone the afternoon before yesterday, he was still in New York.
This is coming back? Crystal Pictures also came!
Matt, as a father, is much more mature and stable than Leonardo.
"Lin, long time no see, today I came to see you."
With only a leather jacket over the T-shirt, Matt Damon looked energetic.
Lin Nan smiled and went up and hugged him, "Just came back?" ”
"I came back yesterday afternoon and I'm going to relax and take a vacation for the next few months. No, I'm here to see you today. ”
The beautiful female employee had already brought the coffee, and Matt was not polite, and as soon as she sat there, she began to talk and laugh.
Lin Nan looked at his watch and couldn't help laughing.
What a coincidence, Leonardo will come in a while and read the script!
Since refusing to continue starring in the "Spy" series and winning the Volpi Cup for Best Actor, Matt Damon has clearly changed the pace of his work.
The drama has also become more picky, because his transformation has been successful.
"Leon will come over later." Lin Nan reminded.
Matt was stunned for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then a playful expression appeared on his face.
He remembered that when the three of them were partying, Leonardo talked about the script, and he joked that he could audition for competition!
And this time, Lin Nan has only been in Hollywood for a few days......
"Script?"
Matt asked decisively.
Lin Nan didn't hide it, and then nodded.
"Isn't it just the right time for me to come?"
As he spoke, there was another knock on the door.
"Lin, Leon has arrived."
When Leonado walked into the office with a smile on his face, he saw Matt Damon sitting on the sofa at a glance.
The smile on his face disappeared in an instant.
"Shit, why are you here?"
Facing Leonardo, who changed his face in an instant, Matt Damon smiled maliciously.
"Maybe it was fate that made me come. However, there were unexpected surprises, for example, movie scripts.
Dear Leon, do you say? Hahaha......"
