Chapter 604: Returning Home, April
At around eight o'clock in the morning, Tom personally drove Lin Nan to Los Angeles Airport alone.
And the two assistants, who had taken their things as early as yesterday afternoon, boarded the flight back home in advance.
"Lin, the company plans to start filming "Fifty Shades Darker" in the middle of the year, and ...... with James's "The Conjuring 2"
Tom was babbling while driving, interrupting Lin Nan's nap.
"Well, you can do it.
In addition, you have to be prepared, this year's public relations costs, we need to bear our own. Lin Nan admonished.
"Manchester by the Sea" is an award-winning film, so the salaries of Leonardo and others are not high, which can be regarded as saving public relations costs in disguise.
"Okay, I got it. Or last year's PR agency? ”
"Yes, I can continue to work with them."
"Don't you really need to look for Weinstein Pictures? They're really strong in that regard. Tom asked confirmingly.
"Weinstein's reputation is so bad that even if the film is very good enough to win an award, if they really have to go through their hands to win the award, the award will be full of water."
Lin Nan commented unceremoniously.
"Alright then, listen to you."
As he spoke, the car arrived at the airport.
Lin Nan pulled a small suitcase and hugged Tom: "See you back, Tom." ”
"Goodbye, Lin. Say hello to Crystal for me. ”
It's good that Tom didn't say this, but as soon as Liu Yifei was mentioned, Lin Nan immediately remembered something.
"Is this guy an undercover agent by my side and reporting my whereabouts to her at any time?"
I saw Tom instantly change into a hippie smile, "Lin, Crystal said this is for your good......"
"I believe your nonsense."
Lin Nan scolded with a smile, then turned around and walked towards the airport. After a few seconds, he stretched out his arm and shook it above his head, rushing at Tom behind him.
……
The domestic film and television industry and the entertainment industry have been very lively these days.
A top-level first-line student was "killed" by Fengxing.
The other day, on March 28th.
Zhuo Wei posted a Weibo post of "See you on Monday", the content of which directly pointed to the "good man" actor surnamed Wen and actress Yao.
Within a few hours, the person angrily refuted:
This is slander and a false report...... They will use legal means to protect their own rights and interests. ”
After some angry reprimands, the actor even warned the paparazzi to be careful.
Backed by his godfather, he is a popular first-line student, and he is very talented.
Maybe this is the confidence that he has always been arrogant and domineering, has no one in his eyes, and does not take entertainment in his eyes.
But here is popular, and I don't know if I had contacted Wen in private before and was rejected by his sneer, or just to repay old grievances.
Only two days later, on the 30th, a large number of photos appeared on the Internet, all of which were actors surnamed Wen and actresses Yao.
It's okay now, it's really "see you on Monday", I can't even quibble, I was sentenced to death directly, and it was scolded by the whole network, the level of a rat crossing the street.
There is never a shortage of things in the entertainment industry that fall into the well and fall down the wall and everyone pushes it.
And it's ironic: this is a first-line actor with the characters of "good man", "good husband", and "good father".
It doesn't seem difficult to kill him completely.
How many resources do you have to spare when a first-line male star falls? Those who are behind have a chance to get on top.
The most important thing is that the original partner seems to be pregnant?
Pregnancy - cheating, this can be killed with a stick!
The actor also recognizes the reality very well, and half a day later, in the early morning of the 31st, he directly "admitted his mistakes and begged for forgiveness" on Weibo.
But everything can't be saved, in just a few days, black materials are flying all over the sky, word of mouth, drama appointments, endorsements...... The business collapsed completely.
The actress is even more miserable, and what she will face is most likely to be banned.
Who made the man's original partner very "powerful"?
Even the man at the beginning started by eating soft rice, and the original match was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
……
Lin Nan yawned and got off the plane and followed the crowd to the exit.
The early April sun was slightly warm, but it was just as harsh.
originally thought that he was alone this time, and he should not be caught, but Lin Nan still miscalculated.
Entertainment reporters rely on this to eat, and their eyes must be brighter than the other.
Just a few steps out of the passage, Lin Nan was still searching for Liu Yifei's car, and was surrounded in a blink of an eye.
The reporters are so excited that they can be regarded as squatting down to you.
From the end of February to the beginning of April, not only did there be an Oscar ceremony in the middle, but Lin Nan also made a movie.
Speaking of movies, a group of reporters has a lot to ask.
Lin Nan finally determined Liu Yifei's car.
No wonder I didn't find it in the first place, it turned out that it was the one that Lin Nan bought for her in January, and it had already been delivered.
"Director Lin, is "Manchester by the Sea" finished?"
"Yes, it was just finished the day before yesterday."
"Will the film still compete for the Oscars?"
Lin Nan paused, "Let's talk about it then." ”
"Director Lin, congratulations on breaking the box office record of domestic movies again.
What do you think of what director Zhang Yimou said that all the big directors in the mainland have been kidnapped by the box office? ”
Lin Nan became serious, to be honest, this question is really difficult to answer.
"In my opinion, a film is made by a director, but not by the director for himself, and the box office is a way for the outside world to recognize the quality of a director's film, just like the awards of a film festival.
Although many bad movies took advantage of the loopholes and got a high box office. But the box office is still one of the ways for directors to gain outside recognition and motivate themselves to move forward. ”
"In addition, there are two attributes of film, namely artistic and commercial.
The box office is the intuitive embodiment of commercial attributes, how can it be said that the director was 'kidnapped' by the box office? It's obviously positive. ”
As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, he was questioned.
What does Director Lin mean is that on the one hand, Director Zhang longs for a high box office, but on the other hand, he resists his own mentality?
Or does he still think that the artistic attributes of films should be higher than the commercial attributes? And he's going against his will and moving closer to commercial attributes? ”
Lin Nan said "" in his heart, which clearly showed that he was digging a pit for him in person!
"The above is just my understanding of the 'box office', not my understanding of director Zhang Yimou. Hurry up, I'm in a hurry. ”
Lin Nan urged, if you continue to ask, you don't know what to ask?
"Do you know about Wenzhang? Many netizens and people in the film and television industry suggested that Director Jiang Wen delete all the scenes of Wenzhang in "One Step Away", what do you think? ”
"I've been filming "Manchester by the Sea", and I haven't paid much attention to domestic affairs."
"That's it, he's ...... in marriage"
"That's it, Yifei is urging me, let's let ......"
The reporters looked in the direction of Lin Nan's gaze, and sure enough, they saw Liu Yifei standing next to a brand-new red Ferrari, waving his hand at this side.
A group of people chased Lin Nan until he got into the car, but they didn't get any more answers.
Liu Yifei, who was bright and bright under heavy makeup, after fastening her seat belt, probed her cheek at Lin Nan, who was the co-pilot, "Hurry up." ”
After kissing it gently, Miss Liu leaned her chin and stepped on the accelerator arrogantly.
With a "boom", the car jumped out.
"Slow down, Sissi."
"Oh, you just sit down, don't interrupt me when I drive."
Liu Yifei threw a "fierce" look at Lin Nan, well, it's quite cute.
"What are they asking you, for so long?"
"It's all gossip. But I'm curious, what kind of mentality Jiang Wen has in the past two days, haha......"
Lin Nan said with a smile, he knew that Wen Zhang's role in "One Step Away" was not light.
Now that the whole network is boycotting Wen Zhang, many insiders are still falling into the ground, and the pressure on Jiang Wen should not be small, after all, he has invested 300 million in movies.
"You're so curious, just call and ask?"
Lin Nan shook his head: "Forget it, don't block him." But with what I know about him, Director Jiang Da has never been a person who will compromise with the outside world! ”
……
Liu Yifei drove the car before she got home, and the news of Lin Nan's return to China had already spread in the circle.
"Director Lin Nan landed at the Capital Airport at 11 o'clock this morning, and the movie "Manchester by the Sea" has been successfully completed."
"Director Lin Nan used the 'commercial attributes' of the film to refute director Zhang Yimou's 'box office kidnapping theory'......"
……
"It's finally back."
At the same time, Wang Changtian, Ye Ning and others all called, but all they heard was "The phone you dialed has been turned off." ”
I haven't seen it for more than a month, and the cats and dogs in the yard are very excited when they see Lin Nan, the shovel officer.
The dogs circled around him, while the cats meowed at his feet with their heads up, and the sound was good.
"Lin Nan, Sissi, wash your hands and eat lunch."
Liu Xiaoli shouted at the two people who had just entered the courtyard.
Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei, "No wonder you didn't say you were going to eat out today." ”
"Hehe, my mother made dumplings, but she can't go to the kitchen once in ten days and half a month, you're blessed."
Liu Yifei hugged Lin Nan's arm with a smile and walked towards the villa. Today's meal, but she begged Liu Xiaoli to make it.
……
An hour later, Lin Nan sat in the garden and began to answer and return the phone, there were so many things.
"Ladong, China Film wants to host a celebration banquet? Okay, then let's do it. ”
"Brother Cheng Long's 60th birthday invitation! Are you sixty? ”
……
After saying some miscellaneous things, Lin Nan called Wang Changtian.
"I thought I wouldn't be able to reach you today, it's always been on the phone."
"What are you looking for me in such a hurry?" Lin Nan asked with a smile.
"Let me tell you, I've talked to Xu Zheng, "Hong Kong Embarrassment" stuffed the company's bag ......"
Hearing this name, Lin Nan really had nothing to say.
He sighed in his heart, so be it, just honestly take 20% of his shareable box office, and don't care about anything else.
Lin Nan remembered other serious things.
"Wang Dong, make an appointment in a few days, and I'll have a trip to the light."
"Yes, say hello before you come, I don't have to be in the company. What is it? ”
"Business, and in my opinion, it's not a lot of business."
Hearing Lin Nan say this, Wang Changtian immediately became interested, "Okay, let's talk in person when the time comes." ”
……
Lin Nan was right to come back in early April, because there were indeed a lot of things.
When he dozed off at home in the afternoon, he was woken up by Liu Yifei because Xie Nan came over.
"I specially picked the day Director Lin came back, come, for the two of you."
Xie Nan was dressed a little loosely, and handed a red invitation to Miss Liu, while the candy bag was given to Lin Nan, who was confused.
On the invitation letter, the big word "囍" is very conspicuous.
"She came to the door in person and asked for money." Liu Yifei smiled at Lin Nan.
"That's right, Yifei and Director Lin are here, I have to come in person."
Lin Nan took the invitation, glanced at the time, and looked at Xie Nan:
"Tut-tut, are you two in such a hurry? The wedding is just over a month away. ”
Hearing Lin Nan's joke, Xie Nan smiled helplessly, "If you don't hurry, you can't do it, if you don't hurry, my stomach won't be able to hide." ”
When the words landed, Liu Yifei's eyes widened, and she pointed to Xie Nan's stomach with a surprised look, "You ......"
"yes, it's been three months. Wu Yan is forty years old, and he can't wait any longer. ”
Suddenly, Xie Nan's eyes were playful, scanning back and forth between Liu Yifei and Lin Nan, and teasing:
"Hurry up both of you, haha......"
