Chapter 474 Movie

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Leonardo looked at Matt Damon, his face full of disdain and vigilance.

The latter, however, still smiled and didn't take it seriously.

"I originally came here just to reminisce about the past, but who knew I could run into something good."

Matt said, and then looked at Lin Nan, "Lin, how about I take a look at the script you prepared?"

Leonardo frowned and said unhappily, "Enough, Matt, you are too greedy."

"Oh, how can you say that? How can the pursuit of a good script by an excellent actor be called greedy?"

...

Lin Nan ignored the quarrel between the two and turned to the bookshelf behind him.

He looked at the two scripts in the left grid that had just been printed and bound yesterday, hesitated, and finally took out only the top one.

"Take a look at this one first."

Lin Nan put the script on the desk, and Leonardo got up and took it.

"Matt, don't disturb me while I'm reading the script. Stay away from my script.

I feel heartbroken when I think of "The Hunt". I really shouldn't have recommended you to Lin."

Leonardo sat directly on another sofa and said without giving face.

"Leon, don't be so cold. I will be very sad. Besides, maybe I am more suitable than you this time?"

Matt Damon faced the pair of white eyes and laughed without taking it seriously.

Leonardo no longer paid attention to Matt's jokes, but read the script seriously.

In the office, Lin Nan and Matt Damon also tacitly quieted down.

Around, there was only the occasional sound of turning pages of paper, and even the sound of drinking coffee was so small that it was almost inaudible.

A script must not be finished in a short time.

Matt Damon simply found a book from Lin Nan's bookshelf and started to flip through it.

And Lin Nan browsed the news on the Internet in China.

…………

The new king replaced the old king in the mainland film market.

"Chinese Zodiac" showed the momentum of "Lost in Thailand" in the first half of the month, conquering cities and strongholds all the way, invincible.

The film industry is predicting whether "Chinese Zodiac" will be the third Chinese-language film to break 1 billion at the box office?

The most excited person is Jackie Chan.

After so many years of making movies, this is the first time that his movie's box office has performed so well in China!

The box office trend of "Chinese Zodiac" is catching up with the top three Chinese-language movie box office charts.

"The box office of "Chinese Zodiac" closed at 340 million in the first week, and Huayi's stock price soared..."

"Huayi, together with Jackie Chan Yinghuang Films, has submitted an application to the Film Bureau for the postponement of the film's release, and the extension key is limited to one month."

"Lost in Thailand is about to be released for a month, and the box office is approaching 1.1 billion..."

The worst are "The Guillotines" and "The Great Shanghai".

The main creative lineups of the two movies are extremely luxurious, but they still can't bring the box office.

The box office of the former barely climbed to 30 million in the first week, and the latter barely reached 63.25 million.

For the film industry, the first week's box office can completely predict the final result. These two movies are doomed to lose money.

Many production companies are laughing at Xingmei's joke. They entered two films during the Lunar New Year holiday, but both had this result. It's really miserable!

The sound of the coffee cup touching the saucer pulled Lin Nan's attention back from the computer screen.

Leonardo had already read the script roughly and picked up the coffee.

"Don't you want a hot cup?"

"No."

Matt Damon took the script over, and Leonardo saw it but didn't stop him.

"It's a crime suspense theme about human nature, which is indeed a very good script."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"How do you plan to shoot it? How long will it take?"

"It can be as short as one month and as long as two months like "The Hunt."

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Matt Damon had already put down the script in his hand and smiled helplessly.

He knew that this script was originally given priority to Leonardo, and he was just joking before. Well, it was just a little bit of luck.

After all, his good friend has mentioned the story of "The Hunt" countless times!

"Are you going to take it?" Matt asked Leonardo tentatively.

"I can still be free for one or two months. Isn't the award season just two months?"

Since it was said so directly, Matt Damon understood that he had no fate with this script.

However, the script that Leonardo liked must be good. Matt flipped the script in his hand again.

"... "The Invisible Guest"!" he read softly.

"Can I take it with me when I leave today?"

Leonardo suddenly pointed at the script in Matt's hand and asked Lin Nan.

Lin Nan nodded, "Of course."

Even excellent actors like Leonardo and Matt can't fully master the script after reading it only once. They must think about it repeatedly to do their best.

"By the way, when you read the scripts these two days, you can also pay attention to see if there are any actors you can recommend to me.

You know, I don't know many actors in Hollywood, and auditioning is a very mentally exhausting thing."

"No problem."

Leonardo nodded and agreed. After all, they were going to be his partners, so he couldn't be careless.

More than an hour later, Lin Nan followed the two out of Crystal Pictures,

under the pretext that the three of them finally met and had lunch together.

…………

Hollywood, especially during the award season, is full of actors, stars, and crews.

There are constant cocktail parties and parties, and there are also filmmakers and film companies from all over the world.

Even when there are so many stars, the rate of turning heads of Lin Nan and the other two is unusually high.

The open-air restaurant overlooks the sea, and the environment is very good.

"I'll pay today."

Leonardo raised his glass, clinked it with Lin Nan and the other two, and said with a chuckle.

The food on the table is simple, steak, red wine, and a few side dishes, almost more than 20,000 dollars, mainly red wine.

"Well, then we won't be polite."

"Please."

The paparazzi in Hollywood are much more powerful than those in China, and their equipment is also better.

In less than half a day, the news of the three people's meal spread everywhere.

Even in China, there was news.

The most amazing thing is that there are bored people who roughly estimated the price of this meal based on the price of the restaurant, and the bottle of wine is the most conspicuous.

"Luxury, a meal cost 130,000 yuan. Has Director Lin been corrupted by the evil capitalism?"

"I want to be corrupted too..."

"I'm curious, who paid the bill? If it's AA, it would be too embarrassing!"

…………

Matt Damon's driver drove Lin Nan back to Beverly Hills first.

"By the way, Lin, I just saw that you seem to have played a script?"

Hearing Matt's words, Lin Nan nodded with a little tipsy:

"Yes, that script needs to be refined, it's not perfect yet."

"Then when it's done, you can show it to me, it's probably pretty good. What's it called? I didn't look at it carefully just now."

"It's similar to "The Invisible Guest", called "By the Sea..."

……

…………

Time is approaching the end of the month.

Yue Jun called Lin Nan and talked about the annual meeting.

This year, Lin Nan Films has made a lot of money from several movies. All the production companies in the industry are jealous.

Lin Nan was lying on the big bed, answering Yue Jun's call, and asked with a smile: "Are you kidding? Is this their request?"

On the other end of the phone, Yue Jun also laughed non-stop.

"Yes, the hundreds of people in Tiangong Color have a very consistent opinion, and they should have discussed it in advance. I hope that the girl group will perform at the company's annual meeting, hahaha..."

Hearing Yue Jun's repetition again, Lin Nan was really speechless, these people!

"What about Lin Nan Pictures?"

"It's okay here, we only care about the bonus for the annual meeting."

"Didn't you say which girl groups you want?"

Lin Nan decided to meet the requirements of these brothers.

"Girls' Generation, T-ara, Wonder Girls, KARA, f(x) from South Korea... and the island countries..."

Lin Nan was simply stunned, are these people animals? So many!

"Director Lin, please make the decision."

"Then, let's talk about South Korea. You can negotiate in the name of the company. It shouldn't be expensive.

The year-end bonus is three months' salary. The prize pool for the lottery will be increased from 5 million to 8 million."

"Okay."

…………

Guo Fan said that he would finish the filming before the end of the month, and he really didn't delay at all.

Lin Nan saw the reports of domestic media at Crystal Pictures.

"The sci-fi love movie "Time Traveler" produced by Lin Nan Pictures, directed by Director Guo Fan, and starring Luo Jin, Wan Qian, Reba, Tang Yan and others, officially finished filming today."

"Sun Yizhou made his debut on the big screen, playing a scumbag..."

Lin Nan calculated the time and called Liu Yifei.

"Are you still busy with the domestic announcements? I'm about to start casting here."

"What's the matter? You miss me after only being apart for a week?"

On the other end of the phone, Liu Yifei smiled sweetly and her voice was crisp.

"Yes, I miss you very much, especially at night."

"Bah, hooligan!"

"Why are you cursing? I'm busy with social events during the day, and I've turned down all the evening ones. Only now do I have time to miss you, just like now."

"Are you thinking about something wrong? Haha..." Lin Nan teased.

"I'm not thinking about anything wrong..."

The voice on the other end of the phone got quieter.

Suddenly, Liu Yifei raised her voice again:

"There will be a jewelry exhibition in two days, and then I'll go find you. Don't go out at night, and don't hang out with Leon..."

"Haha, okay, I'll listen to you."

Lin Nan was speechless for Leonardo, and the impression of the latter in a certain aspect had been fixed.

...

The next day.

A piece of movie information was spread by the Hollywood Daily.

"Independent film production company, Crystal Pictures, is suspected to have reached a film cooperation intention with Leonardo."

"Golden Lion director NanLin is likely to direct this new film. The specific situation needs further understanding."

...

This news was reprinted back to China by the media as soon as possible.

All film and television companies, brokerage companies, actors and artists, all paid attention to it.

"Director Lin Nan, Leonardo, Hollywood movies..."

The entire film industry, a large number of actors and artists, instantly became agitated!
