The role of a female lawyer is very important.

In the play, she must be able to compete with the cunning, ruthless, and disguised male protagonist played by Leonardo, and even win.

In Crystal Pictures, Lin Nan met Naomi Watts, who was recommended by Xiao Lizi to play the role of a female lawyer.

To be objective, Lin Nan believes that the average strength of British actors born and raised in the UK should be the highest among Hollywood actors.

"Lin, it's nice to meet you, and thank Leon for recommending me to audition."

After the audition, Naomi Watts chatted with Lin Nan.

For Lin Nan, the person in front of him is also a mother-in-law actor, and he should be able to better substitute for the role.

"When the time comes, your makeup will look older."

Hearing Lin Nan's words, the smile on the other party's face stopped for a second, and then he spoke calmly.

"An actor should accept everything about the role, which is the work ethic and quality that should be had."

Lin Nan knew that Naomi Watts had understood the meaning of his words.

He stood up and held out his hand, "Welcome to the crew of The Invisible Guest." ”

The other party was stunned, and also stretched out his hand to shake Lin Nan, and said with a smile:

"Thank you, it's a great honor to participate in this movie......"

Tom personally sent Naomi Watts out, agreeing to sign a contract another day.

In less than two minutes, he was back.

"Lin, as a gentleman, to an English lady, you should have just used a hug or a kiss on the face."

"Hehe, there's really enough to manage, do you show off?"

Lin Nan looked at Tom and said a word. Of course he knew that, but he just didn't have that idea.

If you really talk about etiquette, Lin Nan will have to talk to him about Huaxia etiquette.

Let this fat Tom know that what is the real ancient oriental etiquette culture is not comparable to the British set.

…………

Although Lin Nan said that he would video audition with domestic actresses during the day, he still controlled the time.

So he auditioned at 5 p.m. Los Angeles time, and it was around 8 a.m. at home.

First of all, this is a foreign language film, English alone is not fluent enough, and a small number of actors can be stuck, such as those few little flowers, Lin Nan doesn't want to use voice actors.

successively auditioned Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, and Zhou Xun, and perfunctory Zhao Yanzi.

Lin Nan felt that there was still something wrong, it might be an opportunity to participate in Hollywood movies, it was really tempting, and several actresses were a little restrained or too deliberate.

Zhou Xun is okay, but the image is too petite, and like Zhang Ziyi in the morning, he has hard injuries.

The hard wounds of the international chapter are more obvious, too firewood.

Even Leonardo shook his head, saying that which man with a successful career is looking for this kind of lover?

Lin Nan couldn't refute it for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, so he was speechless.

"What a headache!"

The next day, Lin Nan sat in the office of Crystal Pictures, and he was in trouble.

"Lin, why don't you consider Jessica Chastain?

She is also a favorite for this year's Oscars, along with Naomi Watts. ”

Tom's words made Lin Nan hesitate.

He originally thought that if it was suitable, he would take care of domestic actresses, but now.

Suddenly, Lin Nan reacted to Tom's second sentence, "You mean, both of them have movies that have been nominated for this year's Oscars?" ”

Tom nodded and said affirmatively:

"Yes, even if they can't win the award, as long as they can be nominated, it will be very helpful for our film!"

Lin Nan sat there, frowning and thinking. He couldn't deny that what Tom said did make a lot of sense.

A few minutes later, Lin Nan patted his thigh, "Okay, it's her!" You can do it. ”

"Understood."

Now that the actress has made her choice, only the final supporting actor remains, which is much simpler.

…………

One by one, emails about the results of the audition were sent back to China.

The media reacted quickly, and the news appeared online.

"It is reported that a number of domestic actresses auditioned for director Lin Nan's new work and the Hollywood movie "Invisible Guest", without exception, all of them were wiped out."

"Zhang Ziyi, who is at the Oscars and participated in the award jury, also failed to audition......"

……

"Good fellow, is it so strict! Call it all back? ”

"It's really harsh, and none of it succeeded!"

……

Liu Yifei's Weibo is already very lively.

"I'm curious, which actors did Director Lin choose in the end?"

"Yifei, help us ask, I'm curious."

"Why did Fan Bingbing lose the election, where is she missing?"

……

Liu Yifei came back from attending the jewelry exhibition and just took a shower.

At this moment, the whole person looks pink and delicate, very exquisite.

Seeing so many people leaving messages for Aite himself, he simply sat on the sofa and swiped Weibo.

"I don't know, wait until I go over and ask him, and I'll tell you later."

A unified reply instantly attracted a large number of netizens and fans to watch.

"I'll go, the real person replied!"

"Is Producer Liu going to Hollywood too? Accompany Lin Dao, or work? ”

"You guys can't come back on Chinese New Year's Eve? Looking forward to meeting you and Director Lin in the mall! ”

……

Liu Yifei is also rising, and she really talked about it.

"I went to see him, and by the way, there was some work. If the movie can be finished before Chinese New Year's Eve, we will come back. ”

……

"I don't know what Aunt Liu thinks when she hears this, my daughter is going to accompany that person again this year!"

"What can the mother-in-law think? That's a son-in-law! ”

……

The next day, a media reporter photographed Liu Yifei at the airport.

A pair of sunglasses covers most of his face, and he wears a thin white shirt and a khaki trench coat.

High-waisted slacks with a pair of white sneakers and a shawl with long hair are very sassy.

He was followed by two female assistants, pushing two large suitcases.

When he saw the reporter, he also cooperated with the scissor hand and showed a sweet smile.

"Liu Yifei appeared at the Capital Airport today, suspected of flying directly to Hollywood......"

…………

Lin Nan was invited to participate in the public relations reception of Li An's "Youth School".

To be honest, he only knew that he needed to find a special public relations company for the Olympic film, but he had never been in contact with these companies.

From Li An's side, Lin Nan had a deeper understanding of some specific operations.

Depending on the type of film and the number of awards the film has applied for, a proprietary PR plan will be formulated.

Even the PR firm has to conduct a specific screening of the thousands of college judges.

Then come up with a list of college judges who will be categorized, marked with different preferences, and the intensity of public relations required.

An excellent film, from the moment it applies for the Oscars, it has to start preparing for public relations, the first step is to be shortlisted for the nominations, and then the winners.

In both stages, there is money to be thrown, and the further back you go, the more money you throw.

But throwing money is not directly giving money, but "spending money" in different ways.

Starting from the subtleties, you can give gifts, but you can't give money or valuables directly, which is a science.

"Director Li, can you tell me how much the PR cost of "Life of Pi" is?"

In the corner, Lin Nan and Li An whispered.

In the future, he will also take this step, and there is no harm in understanding it early, and he can be mentally prepared in advance.

"The preliminary budget, 10 million dollars, and the follow-up will be increased by ......"

Li An didn't hide it, and directly gave Lin Nan an answer.

"It's also gambling, once you get nominated, you can earn back what you spend.

If you win awards, or even win several awards, film rights and other income, you will definitely make a lot of money around the world. ”

Li An glanced at Lin Nan and smiled;

"With what you've achieved now, it's time to think about and prepare for these things sooner. The most fundamental difference between the outside and the mainland is that there is no seniority, as long as there is no such dead rule, it is much easier. ”

Lin Nan didn't answer Li An's words, but just smiled and nodded to show acquiescence, what Li An said was indeed the truth.

"If you need it, I can introduce you to Life Pi's PR agency in a later way. In the area of Oscar public relations, even the major production giants are not as professional and powerful as those specialized public relations companies. ”

"Thank you, Director Li. After the reception, I'll go to you. ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Lin Nan raised his glass and took a sip.

He has to rest early tonight, and he will pick up Miss Liu early tomorrow morning.
