Chapter 135 Twilight, Victoria's Secret

The media reported that Lin Nan flew abroad three days later.

A set of makeup photos of Jet Li in "The Forbidden Kingdom" was exposed.

It was exactly the same as what Huayi said before, that is, the Monkey King Sun Wukong's appearance.

At the same time, the news that Jackie Chan and Jet Li signed the crew as non-mainland actors also came out.

This means that according to the regulations of the Film Bureau, the first and second female roles must be mainland actors.

As soon as this result came out, it gave all the non-mainland actors who were still waiting, and there was no chance.

Artists such as Fan Wenfang, Lin Xinru, and Zhang Baizhi were eliminated one after another.

A group of mainland actresses were looking forward to it, and most people didn't know that the actors had actually been decided. Huayi was still using this to increase public attention.

In view of the shortage of manpower, Lin Nan handed over 70% of the post-production special effects work to New Line, leaving only 30% to Crystal Pictures.

Even 30% of the workload is a big job for the employees of Crystal Pictures. After all, it is not as good as the big companies under the eight majors such as New Line.

Lin Nan has been traveling between New Line and his company these days. Hollywood is such a small place, so it is quite convenient.

"Oh, Kate is nominated for Best Actress again. I like her plumpness."

Tom shouted as soon as he entered the company, causing many employees to laugh. Everyone started talking about which actress they liked.

"Kate?" Lin Nan asked in confusion.

"Lin, it's Kate Winslet. She is only 31 years old and has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress for the fourth time. Poor Leon has only been nominated once."

Lin Nan finally understood that the Oscars were nominating again.

"But didn't Leon already win the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor?"

"Of course, that is the trophy that Leon values ​​most, one of the three major European film emperors, but it has been ten years, isn't it? He cares so much about art..."

Lin Nan couldn't refute this, otherwise how could he have the same name as Leonardo da Vinci.

"By the way, how is the matter I asked you to do?"

"Lin, don't worry, you just need to focus on the post-production of your movie. I can handle this kind of bloody vampire youth romance movie by myself."

Lin Nan nodded. He didn't think he would just focus on the post-production here, and he didn't need to do the special effects himself.

He just needed to focus on the general direction and keep a good check. In addition, he also developed the business here and let Crystal Pictures make a name for itself.

"But her request to adapt the script herself is really unreasonable." Tom complained.

"When I signed the copyright transfer agreement with her, there was this clause. The adaptation of the script by the novel author is often more acceptable to fans. Don't say such things in the future, Tom."

Lin Nan reminded.

Although "Twilight" has more and more fans, the author regrets that he sold it too early, but the binding force of the contract is there, so Lin Nan is not worried about anything.

"When her script is ready, let them start working."

"No problem." Tom patted his chest.

Lin Nan has no plans to intervene in this "Twilight". The director and actors are still the same people, but the contract signed is a series contract, and the filming cycle is also short.

This movie has not been filmed yet, but the distributor has been found, and it is still Lionsgate. On the one hand, they have cooperated for a long time, and on the other hand, it just happens to repay Liu Yifei's favor.

"Lin, is this what you call reciprocity? In fact, Minkoff is very optimistic about that girl. Whether we recommend it or not will not affect it."

The head of Lionsgate's production department said with a smile. People from the distribution department were also on the side.

"No, you are the investment producer, or the one who invests more. Your recommendation will definitely have an impact on Director Minkoff, at least it will deepen his impression, right? Haha."

"We heard from Tom about the conflict between you and Fox. They are indeed a bit too much. You can still find us for distribution when the time comes."

"Of course."

...

The special effects production of the film in the later stage is like grinding a needle with an iron rod. It is a slow job.

Lin Nan also pays attention to domestic news or Hollywood affairs from time to time.

Warner decided to withdraw from the domestic market due to radio and television policies. Yonghua Cinema, which has been the box office champion for several consecutive years, is about to change its shareholders.

A large number of foreign-controlled cinemas were also forced to transfer part of their shares or sell them out completely.

Of course, other shareholders will definitely eat up these shares. Almost all of these joint-venture cinemas have shares in groups such as Shanghai Film Group and China Film Group, or even controlling shares.

Lin Nan had some ideas at first, but after asking around, several state-owned companies made moves.

People from China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group led a team to stay for a few days, mainly to check the commission contract for post-production special effects production, the flow of funds and authenticity.

"Director Lin, don't mind, this is all official business."

The person from China Film Group was an acquaintance, so he spoke more casually.

"It's best to be official, otherwise if something goes wrong, it's hard to explain."

"Director Lin is joking."

...

A fashion blockbuster of Liu Yifei was sent by her, with a hand-painted smiley face attached.

"Is it Crystal's fashion magazine? Lin, it seems that I was right before, she is indeed your girlfriend."

Tom was surprised as if he had discovered a new world.

"Yes, you guessed it right, okay."

"My glasses, Tom, are still very accurate, just like I predicted that Britney would get divorced, you see, she is in the lawsuit now."

"You are so boring."

Yue Jun's transatlantic email caught Lin Nan off guard.

Lin Nan had to admit that Yue Jun had a vision, but Lin Nan didn't want to do the job of "Black Fission".

The email said that it was produced by the Provincial Television Production Center in Lin Nan's hometown in conjunction with several film and television investment companies. The show had been launched for a month, but an investor withdrew midway, and the crew was urgently looking for a replacement.

Lin Nan knows this series. It is a classic. He has read the original works. The director and screenwriter are very good. But your filming is so good. It has a terrible fate. No one knows the reason. There is no explanation above. Anyway, it is I just kept being pressed...

In the end, he responded to an email and said the show would not be involved.

Lin Nan has learned a lot these days. The production and rendering of special effects for movies is really a huge project, and knowledge from various science and engineering disciplines is included in it.

In the post-production center of the new line, a large number of machines and equipment are turned on, working frame by frame and second by second.

Fortunately, what Lin Nan asked for was not the best one, otherwise he would have to pay more!

Crystal Pictures is also doing a good job. Old Bob is a movie dreamer, and these machines and equipment are of the same grade as New Line's.

Outside of work, Lin Nan took Tom and Wen Tsairen to attend many events in the independent film industry.

Many people have an impression of Lin Nan. They have met or greeted Lin Nan once or twice at the Lions Gate celebration banquet.

"Ever since the birth of the independent film industry, it has been incompatible with the Big Eight, not only in terms of funding sources, but also in the way of thinking and personal perspective in telling stories when making movies..."

Wen Ziren explained to Lin Nan from the side.

"If you want to develop here, it's best to integrate into the independent film circle, because this circle is more tolerant..."

Lin Nan was listening to Wen Ziren's suggestion when a cry came from outside.

"Who is here?" Lin Nan asked doubtfully.

"Leonardo..."

"who?"

"Leonardo DiCaprio. He is also in the independent film industry and has his own company."

Lin Nan followed the crowd's gaze and saw that it was that face. There were many people around, many of whom were smiling and saying hello.

Jet-lagged, Lin Nan asked, "Has this year's Victoria's Secret show started?"

Wen Ziren and Tom were both stunned for a moment.

Tom said excitedly, "Lin, do you want to go? It starts in the next two days, right at the Kodak Theater..."

"Director Lin Nan, do you have this idea? If so, Lionsgate has many invitation seats and can give you two." Wen Ziren said kindly.

"Then, let's go and have a look?"

Lin Nan also subconsciously asked about this topic, just because he saw Leonardo.

“So popular!”

Lin Nan felt inspired when looking at Xiao Lizi who was surrounded by layers of people.

"If before "Titanic", he was a well-known literary young man, then after "Titanic", he became an international superstar. He has unparalleled box office appeal and status in Hollywood."

I had only heard about it before, but this time I saw a living person. This is what Lin Nan is thinking about now.

Tom sighed, "I wish I had a face like his."

"There is everything in dreams." Lin Nan joked.

"Director Lin, you will still have the opportunity to cooperate with him in the future. As long as you have a good script that can win awards, I will have no chance."

Wen Tsai-ren suddenly said something, and it seemed that he was also deeply influenced by "Tantanic".

"It's better not to talk about these unrealistic things. Just give Tom the invitation letters for the Victoria's Secret Show, two."

"Haha, Lin, you are such a good boss." Tom smiled.

…

The next day, Tom came back with two invitations.

"Lin, it's still the best position."

Seats at the Victoria's Secret Show are also divided into zones.

"Then go take a look. It's not far anyway."

Lin Nan just didn't want to waste these two invitations and took a break. He was tired from staring at the special effects all day.

The Kodak Theater is also the Dolby Theater and the venue for the Academy Awards. It has 3,400 seats.

The Victoria's Secret show was held here, so you can imagine the scale of this show.

The positions of Lin Nan and Tom were on the side of the T stage near the finish line.

What a coincidence, two meters away is the little plum that I saw from a distance yesterday. His position can be said to be the best.

The other party smiled and nodded, looking very cultured, and Lin Nan also smiled back.

The big show begins.

Lin Nan was a little face-blind and could only see models walking on the catwalk with pairs of long legs.

Tom on the side was mumbling names one by one.

What about Karolina Korkova, Hana Sokubova, Isabelle Gle…

In the end, Lin Nan felt that he had come for nothing. He really couldn't appreciate this. Apart from his long legs, he had no other features at all.

The faces of these supermodels do not fit Lin Nan's aesthetic taste.

Looking at Tom again, he seemed to be possessed, staring intently at the T stage with a slightly lewd look.

On the first day of March, please give me a monthly ticket, thank you.
