Chapter 571: Hollywood, Screenings and PR

Lin Nan's speech at the Golden Horse Awards Ceremony was spread loudly and had a great impact on public opinion.

Early in the morning, many people called and said, "Well done!" ”

"This kind of thing is not to the point of official voice, but your influence in the film industry is not small, and it is very appropriate for you to express your attitude on that occasion.

The Children's Bureau called me in the morning and asked me to praise you privately. His identity is public or private, and it is not suitable for direct statement. ”

Lin Nan answered La's phone call, with a smile on his face, and nodded from time to time.

"Ladong, isn't this what it should be done? What more praise, haha. ”

"I still want it, I am the first mainland filmmaker to stand up at the Golden Horse Awards and speak out publicly. At this time, public opinion on the Internet was in an uproar, and some people were even angry......"

A few minutes later, Lin Nan ended the phone call with La, and continued to wash his face and brush his teeth.

In the mainland and Hong Kong Island, most of the filmmakers who came to participate in the Golden Horse Awards had withdrawn last night, and a small number of them also left today.

When Lin Nan was having breakfast in the restaurant, he saw Li An.

"I'm sorry, Director Lin. Some things were sudden, and I really couldn't control them. ”

Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Lin Nan looked at Li An:

"Director Li, you should read the news and comments on the Internet in the mainland today. In addition, the media in Taiwan Province should not have anything good to say about my report, right? ”

These words made Li An a little stuck, and he hesitated: "Half and half." ”

"I think filmmakers just need to make movies well, and don't touch topics that shouldn't be touched one day. Also, I don't like dealing with people with crooked butts, it's disgusting. Lin Nan said seriously.

Li An nodded, didn't say anything more, but sat down and began to eat breakfast.

At nine o'clock, he refused Li An's kindness to send him off, and Lin Nan took two assistants and took the hotel car to the airport.

Sometimes, it's really a coincidence.

Lin Nan met Zhang Ziyi at the airport, and she also brought her assistant.

But what's even more coincidental is that the two are still on the same flight.

Even in the first class, there were only the two of them, and several assistants were in business class.

"Director Lin, your speech yesterday is really deafening and admirable."

Zhang Ziyi has just become a Chinese-language movie, and after the second Grand Slam film, it seems that he has regained a little bit of his former fighting spirit and ambition.

"Thank you." Lin Nan nodded and smiled.

On this trip, his main purpose was to participate in the public relations of the movie "Invisible Guest", and Zhang Ziyi's purpose was similar.

As a member of the Academy of Oscars, she has a precious ballot in her hand and is also a guest of honor for the major film producers during the awards season.

"Director Lin rest assured, when I am shortlisted for voting, I will definitely vote for "The Invisible Guest"."

Zhang Ziyi took the initiative to find a topic and said to Lin Nan.

"Well, thank you."

"Director Lin is too polite, everyone is their own people, and they support each other."

Zhang Ziyi had a smile on his face and said very seriously. In Lin Nan's opinion, this scene is a little touching.

Sure enough, the people who can mix with Dahuadan have some thoughts. As for which is more and which is less, it depends on who Zhang Ziyi compares with.

……

During the nearly 12-hour flight, Lin Nan forced himself to sleep for eight hours, and when the plane was about to land, he was still woken up by Zhang Ziyi.

The weather was nice today, and the sunglasses blocked out the slightly harsh sunlight in the morning.

Outside the airport, Tom was shouting Lin Nan from afar, and Zhang Ziyi also had a pick-up vehicle.

"Director Lin, we'll see you at the wine party."

"Well, a drink."

Zhang Ziyi wanted to walk over and say hello to Tom, the actual manager of Crystal Pictures, but then thought that this might be a little inappropriate, so he gave up.

However, after getting in the car, she posted a Weibo for the first time.

is a group photo of her and Lin Nan in the first class, with the text:

"I'm very happy to fly from Golden Horse to Hollywood on the same flight as director Lin Nan. I wish Director Lin's "Invisible Guest" a box office hit, a smooth awards season, and a successful Olympic rush! ”

At this time in China, it is more than nine o'clock in the evening.

Zhang Ziyi's Weibo instantly attracted the attention of the media and netizens, and made headlines of film and television entertainment information.

Lin Nan sat in the car and listened to Tom's nagging.

"Lin, the promotion of Lionsgate has been in place, just wait for the official opening of the movie in a few days. Our first public relations reception was also scheduled for the opening day. ”

The $15 million public relations fee is about to be smashed out like flowing water, and it will only be made up less, and it is impossible to refund more!

"Leon, you should be excited, right?" Lin Nan laughed.

"Haha, of course. He is always full of expectations and yearning for the Oscars, and that drive is far more than his love for supermodel girls. ”

Tom also made a joke about Leonardo. Everyone knows that Xiao Lizi loves supermodels, but he loves little golden men even more.

After so many years of liking the new and hating the old, the women around Leonardo have changed countless times, but for Oscar, he has achieved "unswerving and loyal"!

"Let's go, take me back to Beverly Hills first, and then make an appointment with them for dinner in the evening."

"That's good, Leon, they definitely have time." Tom answered.

…………

Many Oscar-winning films are released in November and December, and the competition is extremely fierce.

On the way back to the villa in the car, Lin Nan saw many promotional posters of the movie.

Among them are Disney's "Frozen" and its own "Invisible Guest", the release time of the two movies is only 4 days apart.

This movie city has entered the awards season of 24 hours, drinks and parties without stopping.

After returning to the villa and putting away the luggage, an employee of Crystal Pictures took Lin Nan's two accompanying assistants to arrange the hotel.

Lin Nan lay down on the sofa and began to contact several leading actors.

"Lin, have you arrived?"

"Yes Leon, let's have dinner in the evening."

"Yes, I've just come out of director Martin, and I'm going to be busy this season. Haha......"

said that he was busy, but there was no trace of complaint in his tone, but he was very excited.

Lin Nan was in a trance for a few seconds before he reacted: "Oh, I remembered." Your "The Wolf of Wall Street" is also released at the end of December, on Christmas Day! ”

"Yes, that's right."

"Then you're really busy, and it looks like I'm going to have to count on Jessica Chastain and Naomi Watts." Lin Nan said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'll be energetic enough to juggle both movies."

……

At six o'clock in the evening, when the main creators of "The Invisible Guest" had a dinner, it happened to be in the early nine o'clock in the morning in China.

In the film and television information of major media, there are a lot of eye-catching news.

"Directed by Lin Nan, produced by Liu Yifei, starring Han Sanping, Zhang Hanyu, Huang Xiaoming, Fan Bingbing and others, the movie "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" successfully passed the review and got the public screening license......"

Many companies in the circle thought that a few days ago, the reporter reported that Lin Nan personally went to the General Administration for trial, and they were a little scolding.

It's only been six days, and a movie has been reviewed and announced separately?!

Even if it's going through the back door, turning on the green light, and taking special care, you're going to keep a low profile!

So naked, what does everyone think?

The relationship "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" is biological, and the other movies are raised by the stepmother?

The film market in November was completely squeezed out by the last two imported films, "Gravity" and "The Hunger Games 2".

However, this situation was also expected by the industry for a long time.

There are a lot of dazzling things on the Internet, and in the newly brushed film and television information, there is suddenly such a conspicuous and even dazzling one.

"Noon Sunshine and Lin Nan Pictures announced at the same time: jointly produced by the two companies and produced by Noon Sunshine, the large-scale costume conspiracy drama "Langya Bang" was officially established, and the ......casting will start from now on."

This news immediately attracted the attention of all film and television companies, brokerage companies and actors and artists in the circle.

Noon Sunshine was completely born from Mountain Shadow, which is the top TV drama production team in the industry, not to mention Lin Nan Pictures.

The most important thing is that this is a costume conspiracy drama!

Costume dramas are popular, this is the unchanging truth in the circle, not to mention that it is destined to be a sophisticated costume drama!

When countless people in the industry got the definite news from the two companies, they were really not calm.

The original work has also been turned out by various companies and actors.

Everyone found out that this is not the kind of traditional costume scheme.

Instead, it is full of various elements such as rivers and lakes, court, love, revenge, etc., with a large number of young characters, which is very suitable for the popular alternate history.

Then, casting, auditioning, stuffing...... It has become the most urgent idea in the hearts of all insiders.

Various companies and actors and artists, while submitting their audition resumes according to the notice of the noon sun, are thinking of other ways, such as Sairen and internal appointment.

Although Noon Sunshine is in charge of production and casting, which is a bit strict, this is the film and television industry, and it is about human feelings, and there are few truly iron-faced and selfless crews.

Even if it's not easy to communicate with the noon sunshine, isn't there still Lin Nan Pictures?

Everyone doesn't think that Lin Nan Pictures doesn't have the power to interfere in casting, absolutely!

Lin Nan, everyone must not be able to contact him, and he doesn't count on it. After participating in the Golden Horse, he didn't come back after domineering people, and flew directly to Hollywood.

But aren't Yue Jun and Jiang Yurou still there?

The most important thing is that Liu Yifei is also in China. To put it mildly, this one is more effective than the previous two!

In this way, after two days of hard work with the crew to promote, Producer Liu, who was just ready to sleep well, was woken up by a dense phone call.

"Oops, annoying......"

When it was almost 11 o'clock in the morning, Liu Yifei was half asleep, humming and chirping, and the voice of resentment came out of the bed.

After a long time, she came out of the bed, and her eyes were full of messy long hair and a bitter face that had not woken up, but it was not at all beautiful.

She squinted, fumbled to turn off her phone, then instantly covered the quilt, shrunk back, and fell asleep again......

…………

"Frozen" was officially released in the North American market.

Lin Nan was invited by Disney and also went to a premiere event.

After returning, he devoted himself to the preparation of "The Invisible Guest" and the public relations reception.

"The PR agency, on its part, has screened the academy judges who are more interested in such films, as well as the academy members who can be won over, and has sent invitations and gifts.

It is impossible to have many judges at a cocktail party. After all, according to the rules of the Academy, each Academy member can only attend a maximum of three PR receptions before each vote, and they will also carefully consider where to go. ”

"That's why a movie has so many drinking parties?" Lin Nan asked rhetorically with interest.

"That's right, that's how awards season PR receptions are played."

Tom replied with a smile. Every year during the awards season, he always lingers at the parties of various crews, and has close contact with many female actors, and he has rich experience!

"Tom, your smile is a little lewd?"

"Huh? yes, it won't. Tom shook his head.

Lin Nan didn't say much, turned around and prepared to go to the second floor of Crystal Pictures to record VCR for Ning Hao.

After all, China will enter December 15 hours earlier than Hollywood, and the premiere of "No Man's Land" is on the 1st, and the release is on the 3rd.

Half an hour later, a five-minute short video was sent to Liu Yifei by Lin Nan by email, which can be regarded as not breaking his promise.

…………

In the blink of an eye, it was 3 days. China took the lead in entering December 1.

"Disney's 3D animated movie "Frozen", which was voiced by Liu Yifei, was released in the North American market for 3 days, and the box office in the first weekend was reported to be 66.71 million US dollars......"

When Liu Yifei and Lin Nan rushed to the premiere of "No Man's Land" on behalf of herself, she was congratulated by many actors in the circle.

Ning Hao, who was very arrogant in the past, rarely had red eyes when he took a few leading actors to speak on stage.

No one on the scene made fun of him, because the movie was really not easy.

A review card lasted four whole years, and it was modified and deleted countless times in the middle, and in the end, I had to remake the ending.

"By the way, Director Lin sent a VCR from Hollywood. Yifei just gave it to me, I haven't seen it yet, let's take a look? ”

"Okay."

"Take a look."

……

When the short video was projected onto the big screen, Ning Hao regretted it.

"I guess Director Ning Hao will cry today, right? If I hadn't cried, I'd be really sorry for the more than four years of suffering, and I'm sorry for my natural equipment, I've been prostituting for so long, and I haven't given a penny! Haha......"

The opening of Lin Nan's VCR amused everyone at the scene, even if Liu Yifei had already seen it at home, it was still a little funny to watch it on the big screen.

“…… Have you ever seen a director look like a crazy demon? I've seen it, Ning Hao followed the devil and did it with the Film Bureau during that time, but it is obvious that he was 'ravaged' miserably.

I heard that sister say that Ning Hao will often hide alone and secretly wipe his tears, Huang Bo specially sent me a photo at that time, and I will show you the ...... below."

"His uncle, hurry up and turn it off, turn off ......"

In the midst of the commotion of the audience, Ning Hao shouted, so that the hundreds of people at the scene did not see his embarrassment.

"Yifei, you and Lin Nan are not authentic."

Turning around, Ning Hao looked at Liu Yifei in the first row, pretending to be angry.

"It's alright, haha......"

…………

North American time, December 1.

The movie "The Invisible Guest" was officially released.

At the same time, Lin Nan joined Leonardo, Naomi Watts, Jessica Chastain and other film creators.

In the name of Crystal Pictures, Appian Road, Lionsgate and other three companies, the first film reception was held in Hollywood, which is commonly known as the public relations reception.

The company in charge of public relations will assist you.

The guests at the scene included Nolan, Wen Ziren, Matt Damon, and Ryan Reynolds...... Lionsgate, Warner, Disney and other friends of Lin Nan, as well as many Hollywood actors and filmmakers...... The most important thing is the dozens of members of the academy.

In the first public relations reception, all the guests combined, the number of people was as high as more than 230, and the scale was not small.
