"Matt, are you sure?" Lin Nan involuntarily raised her voice.

"Well, I'm sure. Tom Hanks was on vacation with his family recently and did not attend the Oscars. ”

Hearing this answer, Lin Nan called out in his heart a good guy.

Before, he just suspected, but now it is almost certain that Juli Pictures has "produced" a "big drama".

They filmed in Hollywood, used the Academy Awards as the material, and let Huang Shengyi be the heroine, and performed an "inspirational suffering film" of "big heroine" to the entire mainland film and television industry and entertainment industry!

The final ending of this "film" is a tragedy of regret.

The plot is reasonable and eye-catching, and the heroine then gains a lot of sympathy and comfort, and the topics, fans, and popularity all skyrocket!

If everything goes well, Huang Shengyi will return to the public eye with this "big drama", and at the same time usher in the second spring of his acting career.

"It's mad! Ten years ago? Fooling the film and television industry, the media and netizens as fools? News and information are not as congested as they used to be! The big guys have already seen a lot of things! ”

Lin Nan couldn't help but say with disdain. When the news is transmitted back to China, whether it is in the circle or on the Internet, it will definitely be very lively.

"Lin, what are you talking about?"

The three Leonardo were a little confused by Lin Nan's sudden speech in Chinese.

"It's nothing, it's just a clown. Okay, let's get ready, it's almost four o'clock. ”

As Lin Nan said, the red carpet time for the Oscars is coming soon.

At this moment, Hollywood has finally ushered in the end of the awards season, which is also the peak moment of the climax.

Outside the Dolby Theatre, the crowd was even better than the Golden Globe Awards ceremony a month and a half ago.

After all, the Oscar is Hollywood's greatest honor and the goal of countless filmmakers.

A quarter past four o'clock, the convoy carrying Lin Nan, Leonardo, Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain drove out of Beverly Hills.

At the same time, a large number of filmmakers, actors and stars are also converging outside the Dolby Theater.

The closer everyone gets to their destination, the closer the speed of the vehicle is to turtle speed, which is frighteningly slow!

Domestic time, it is already more than eight o'clock in the morning.

The whole network is the news of the Oscars, as well as the interview about Lin Nan that has just been transmitted back from the movie channel, this is the only one.

"At the 87th Academy Awards, the red carpet of the awards ceremony is about to begin; The scene was full of voices, and countless media and fans were eagerly awaiting......"

"Two hours ago, the movie channel interviewed director Lin Nan in Beverly Hills, and got the exact news: Lin Nan Pictures will set up a project to shoot a new film in the first half of the year, directed by director Lin Nan himself, and the film type is a commercial film."

"Shocked to news, three hours ago Huang Shengyi was rushed to the Los Angeles City Hospital for rescue, the specific situation is unknown, to be further understood...... I wish him good luck and a punctual walk on the red carpet......"

……

There is a lot of news, and the domestic film and television industry can't react for a while.

But a large number of actors, artists, film and television companies, and brokerage companies basically remember one piece of news, that is: Director Lin Nan is going to open a new movie, which is a commercial film!

In the hearts of nine out of nine people in the industry, the biggest cake in the film industry this year is undoubtedly this!

Chinese film box office record holder, Golden Lion Golden Bear Double Gold Director, Silver Bear, Golden Ball, Golden Horse Best Director...... All of Lin Nan's names kept flashing in the minds of countless actors!

Maybe, maybe in two or three hours, there will be one more?

"The first half of the year? In other words, after Director Lin returns from Hollywood, he will immediately prepare a new play?! ”

"It's not easy. Director Lin's last commercial film was "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" the year before last, and it's been a year and a half, and it's finally time to start a new movie. ”

"Keep an eye on the movements of Lin Nan Pictures, especially the casting......"

……

The news that Lin Nan is going to set up a new film has become the headline that the entire film and television industry is paying attention to in less than half an hour.

In terms of popularity, it is even on a par with the news of the Oscars.

The two families of Guangguang and Wanda were confused, they hadn't gotten the news before, and they were really a little panicked at this time.

"When he returns, I'll inquire again."

…………

Looking at the sunset outside that was about to disappear, Lin Nan complained speechlessly.

"It's been half an hour, I guess I've walked a kilometer, right?"

"It's like someone fell down on the red carpet, and someone else was overtime, so it caused congestion." The assistant on the co-pilot replied to Lin Nan.

In the elongated business Mercedes-Benz, Lin Nan and the four looked at each other. Well, no need to guess, it must be a female star!

The sound of music and shouts is getting closer and closer, and the Dolby Theater is right in front of you.

"Oh, there are very few times to wait for the Oscar red carpet, but I didn't expect to be bumped into by us this year. Leon, you've met it many times, right? ”

When he arrived outside the Dolby Theatre, looking at the crowd and the waiting area for the guests, Matt Damon made a joke.

"That's right, who made me nominate more than Yet, Matt!"

The two hurt each other and ended in a draw.

"Lin, Leon, Matt, Jessica, please go to the waiting area and rest for a while." Staff in front of the red carpet, invited.

"yes, okay."

The four of them followed Miss Manners and left the parking area in front of the red carpet surrounded by security, and countless fans kept chanting the names of several people.

"It's Crystal!"

As soon as she entered the waiting area, Jessica shouted excitedly.

In fact, Lin Nan was the first to see Liu Yifei, and he saw it at first sight.

Miss Liu, who is wearing a red dress, looks like her skin is better than snow; The tall figure is not inferior to the Hollywood actresses in the crowd.

The smile on her calm face in her gestures all reflects her confidence and aura!

The long black hair is slightly wavy, draped over the shoulders, and there is a hint of charm; But look at that face again, yes, it's innocent!

The sparkling diamond bracelet on her wrist sparkled and sparkled as she lifted the hair around her ear......

"Lin, meet again."

It wasn't until Marion Cotillard, who was wearing a white dress, beckoned to Lin Nan that Liu Yifei, who was chatting with her, reacted.

She looked at Lin Nan in surprise, and a sweet smile suddenly overflowed on her face, "Lin Nan, you're finally here." ”

Walking over in three or two steps, Lin Nan took Liu Yifei's hand and greeted with a smile: "Long time no see, Marion." Tonight, you and Jessica are rivals. ”

Lin Nan pointed to Jessica Chastain a few meters away and joked.

"Then I'm not afraid of her, I've already won the Oscar." Marion Cotillard was equally confident.

While the three of them were catching up, people kept coming to greet Lin Nan.

Scarlett Johansson, dressed in a dark green close-fitting long dress, well, is very protruding; Naomi Watts's fish-scale-like patchwork skirt is also eye-catching;

When Dakota Johnson came over in a backless slit dress, many people remembered that "Fifty Shades of Grey" was a movie produced by Crystal Pictures!

"The more powerful the actresses, the more conservative they dress, and they rely on their temperament. It's like Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, ......"

When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei commented on the actresses on the field, Nolan was signaling.

"Lin Nan, I went in first with the crew, see you later. Maybe we're close to each other. ”

Liu Yifei smiled and blinked her right eye, which was incredibly beautiful.

"Okay, see you later."

Ten minutes after the crew of "Interstellar" walked on the red carpet, Lin Nan, Leonardo and others also officially stepped on the red carpet of the Oscars under the arrangement of the staff.

By this time, it was completely dark, and the time had come to the early eight o'clock in the evening.

"Director Lin, come on!"

The people from the movie channel carried the camera, followed Lin Nan's steps in the infield, and gave him a thumbs up, which was quite conspicuous.

"Thank you and Happy New Year."

Lin Nan smiled and nodded, and the last three words were said to the camera.

After a month and a half, I walked into the Dolby Theater again, and the atmosphere at the awards ceremony was even more enthusiastic than the last Golden Globe Awards.

Following the guidance of the staff, Lin Nan and the four found the location of "Manchester by the Sea".

Looking at the crew of "Interstellar" five meters away and Liu Yifei with a "depressed" face, Lin Nan could only give her a "helpless" expression.

When crews, filmmakers, actors and stars entered the stage one after another, the domestic entertainment industry and social platforms were already out of control.

Juli Pictures and Yang Tsai himself are constantly "clarifying" and "explaining" that Huang Shengyi's invitation to the Oscars is not fake, not directed and acted by the company, and not deceiving the public...... There have been accidents one after another, and they are really accidents!

But what do you mean by that? There is no such thing as character, Yang Zai and Juli, and no one believes it on the Internet.

"This is fooling everyone for fools, fools!"

"First of all, the dress was stolen, which attracted a lot of traffic; Then the 'crowdfunding' new dress charter flight was sent to Hollywood, and the topic exploded again; Still fainting? Still emergency rescue? Where did Juli Pictures dig up the screenwriters? It's too outdated, it's too bloody! Full of flaws! ”

"Huang Shengyi and Juli Pictures have never posted dress photos from beginning to end, nor have they posted Hollywood invitations, everything is all about themselves, and they are sending out press releases!"

"Script, huh? Acting, huh? Since "Kung Fu", Huang Shengyi has been an 'acting school', and this so-called participation in the Oscars fully shows that the film industry owes her a 'movie queen'! ”

"I've never seen such a shameless drama, it's a shame to go to Hollywood! The mind is full of clever and unbounded hype...... Juli's two goods are typical male thieves and female prostitutes......"

"There is no news, so just take a few photos of Huang Shengyi lying on the hospital bed with a 'painful face' and send a press release to explain? Juli Pictures is talking about it, why did she faint?

Why does the front foot say that it needs to be rescued, and the back foot can be awake and rest on its own? Is it not life-threatening and requires further hospitalization? I don't think there is any need for treatment, when the Oscars are over, her illness will naturally be cured! ”

"This is the biggest joke and the most shameless clown since the beginning of the year!"

"I went to Hollywood and acted in a realistic version of "Gone Girl"! Take the Oscars to hype, and don't see if you can afford the risk of revealing your stuffing? It's just looking for death! ”

"The red carpet has been going on for more than three hoursTom Hanks...... Haven't played yet......"

…………

Lin Nan rubbed his face with both hands, allowing his attention to concentrate as much as possible.

This is already the warm-up performance before the awards ceremony, and standing on the stage is Lady Gaga.

Although this person often has some strange shapes, he can sing songs, and he is undoubtedly a powerful person.

In less than ten minutes, the re-emergence on stage was another diva-level singer, Taylor Swift.

Matt Damon teased in a whisper:

"Tsk, it's another song written for an ex-boyfriend. Leon, I think it's necessary for you to learn from her, go to heart, haha......"

"You talk a lot of nonsense. How many of the songs she wrote into the song were not scolded? Who broke up with me peacefully, who hasn't risen in value? Career not rising? ”

Nima, Lin Nan looked at Leonardo in shock. Good guys, said it so nakedly?

Jessica Chastain looked at the two men with the same disdain and shook her head.

"Do you still care about the results of tonight's awards? Everyone's competitors are strong! ”

Hearing Lin Nan's words, the expressions of the three of them suddenly became more solemn.

More than half of tonight's Oscar opponents have encountered them at the Golden Globes;

But this does not mean that "Manchester by the Sea" can win at the Golden Globes, and it can also win at the Oscars. Because countless facts have told everyone that the difference between the two awards is still very big.

During the nearly hour-long hot performance, Lin Nan was really bored, and he glanced at Liu Yifei countless times during the period.

Miss Liu can also instantly detect his gaze every time, and respond with various small expressions and smiles.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 87th Academy Awards Gala ......"

When the host appeared in only a pair of shorts, it simply blinded Lin Nan's eyes.

It is worthy of being an annual Oscar used to 'celebrate', a real flower to play.

"Is this a nod to the shot in 'Birdman'?"

Many people thought of this in hindsight, including Lin Nan and Leonardo.

"The director of 'Birdman' is also the director of 'The Revenant'."

Leonardo said suddenly, in a rather complicated tone.

He hopes that the new director will win the award, but he doesn't want the latter to win the award tonight!

After all, he was nominated for Best Actor for "Manchester by the Sea", and the other films are competitors.

“…… Today, there are still many familiar friends who will compete for the little golden man, so next, we will enter the award ceremony......"

As the voice on the stage fell, everyone on the scene instantly cheered up, and the moment to finally reveal the answer finally came.

"Winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, ...... for 'Sister Ida'"

Lin Nan applauded with everyone, he thought of how obsessed the domestic film industry is with the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, zhidaoxianzai is really crazy!

Best Short Documentary, Best Documentary Feature, Best Live Action Short Film, Best Animated Short Film, Best Animated Feature......

One fringe award after another was awarded, followed by some more important awards.

The Golden Globe Award for Best Picture in the Musical/Comedy category, "The Grand Budapest Hotel", performed strongly.

After winning the best makeup and hairstyling design, the best costume design, and the best art direction, it was ended by "Interstellar".

However, the crew of "Interstellar" only won the Best Visual Effects Award.

Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei, who held the little golden man trophy that the crew had just won and shook it at him.

Nolan and Matthew McConaughey on the side shouted to him with smiles: "Lin, it's up to you!" ”

"It's almost time for us......"

Jessica's words drew the attention of Lin Nan and the three back to the podium. There are two or three years left before the award for the best original screenplay.

"Academy Award for Best Editing: ...... for 'Burst Drummer'"

……

"Academy Award for Best Cinematography: ...... Birdman"

……

"Oscar Winner for Best Adapted Screenplay: Graham Moore, The Imitation Game, congratulations!"

With the announcement of the Best Adapted Screenplay award, Manchester by the Sea is finally in contention for the first of six nominations.

was talking about the acceptance speech on the stage, and Lin Nan was already a little restless.

To be honest, he already has the Best Original Screenplay Award, and his desire to win this award for the second time is not very strong. He wants to be further back!

"Lin Nan ......"

The voice of the call came from the side, it was Liu Yifei.

Lin Nan originally wanted to give her an OK gesture, but somehow, she turned into scissor hands, and finally caused a good-looking white eye.

"Oscar winner for Best Original Screenplay: Nicholas Gakobon, Birdman, congratulations!"

Hearing this answer, Lin Nan didn't have a trace of regret, but was a little relaxed, muttering in his mouth: "Good things are saved for the end." ”

"Lin, we have five more nominations."

Matt Damon stammered when he said this, he was more nervous than anyone else. Because next, it's the turn of the awards for Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress.

At this time, Leonardo and Jessica Chastain were both silent, and even their legs were shaking slightly.

Everyone is nervous!

"Matt, it's almost ...... you"

Before Lin Nan finished speaking, he was interrupted by the people on the podium:

"Oscar winner for Best Supporting Actress: Patricia Arquette, "Boyhood", congratulations!"

There's no heart left to cheer up Matt Damon, because the next one is the Best Supporting Actor award.

The actors who can win the same award at the Golden Globe and the Oscars are basically real powerhouses, just like this Best Supporting Actress.

When she stepped off the stage, Lin Nan and the others could obviously sense that Matt Damon was more nervous. Even Liu Yifei's eyes have been hovering between Lin Nan and the podium.

Oscar winner for Best Supporting Actor, J· K. Simmons, "Burst Drummer", congratulations! ”

The list is revealed, not Matt!

He paused, then smiled helplessly at the gaze of several people, leaned back in the chair like that, and said self-deprecatingly:

"It's over, it's okay with me. Lin, Leon, Jessica, it's up to you. ”

Golden Globe, Berlin, Oscar. Matt Damon was the first of the crew of "Manchester by the Sea" to complete three stops!

"There's still a chance in the future." Lin Nan could only be so comforted.

At this point, there are only four of the six nominations left. And the Oscars that have not yet been announced, these are the four!

"Jessica, come on."

Liu Yifei's crisp voice sounded, as if it was close at hand.

"Crystal, I'm ......"

"Oscar winner for Best Actress ......"

The voice on the podium sounded again, Jessica subconsciously turned her head, and so did Lin Nan and the others.

“…… Julianne Moore, "Still Alice", congratulations! ”

Jessica Chastain is still not as good as Matt Damon just now, and the feelings of loss, frustration, and decadence instantly surged into her heart and were written on her face.

"Jessica, that's Julianne Moore, the real Grand Slam!" Lin Nan opened his mouth and said.

"You are not wronged if you lose to her."

Leonardo's tone was soft, obviously nervous about the next Best Actor award.

"Julianne Moore ......"

Jessica Chastain muttered in her mouth, although she felt very uncomfortable, but she admitted that the other party really deserved it, it was Cannes, Berlin, Venice, the Golden Globe, the union and today's Oscar, the queen of Grand Slam films!

"I see. Lin, if there are movies in the future, remember to consider me. I have a good relationship with Crystal......"

Hearing Jessica's first words, Lin Nan was still nodding, it's nothing, it's easy to say, he originally likes to use acquaintances;

But when he heard her last sentence, Director Lin Da's face immediately darkened. Why do you know this even if you're a foreign girl?

Just when Lin Nan replied to Jessica's speechless look, Leonardo couldn't tell whether he was trembling excitedly or nervously.

In the past 20 years, he has been looking forward to the Oscar statuette with the most sincere and sincere yearning every time.

To this day, he is still like this, desperately longing!

The eyes of all the guests and filmmakers in the audience gathered on the stage.

"Oscar winner for Best Actor: Eddie Redmayne, "The Theory of Everything", congratulations!"

Boom, the scene was chaotic.

Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain, all four looked at Leonardo. Many guests at the scene also glanced at this place intentionally or unintentionally.

Leonardo's blue pupils were already blurry. He supported most of his face with his hands and wiped it down vigorously, just like an ordinary person would relieve fatigue.

In the next second, he closed his eyes tightly, his breathing was completely out of rhythm, and his hands were shaking uncontrollably.

Lin Nan and Jessica, who were sitting on the left and right, could clearly see the water stains in the corners of his eyes, which were undoubtedly tears.

In the 21st year of the Olympic Games, he failed.

"Leon, that movie is the opposite of Manchester by the Sea, maybe that's the main reason......"

Four out of six, Lin Nan is also panicking now. But as a very good friend, he still has to comfort Leonardo.

"Leon, take your time."

"Well, you'll succeed sooner or later."

Matt Damon and Jessica said one after another.

"I, they ......"

With his mouth open, Leonardo just spit out a few words weakly and never spoke again.

He opened his eyes, his blue pupils bloodshot and red, choking back to tears.

Liu Yifei also frowned, there was a hint of melancholy beauty on her delicate face, she was worried about Lin Nan.
