Chapter 504 Who Am I? Why Would I Care About That?
When I came, I didn't see Tom, but when I left, he came to see me off in person.
"Lin, Crystal, see you at the end of the year. We will also hold a PR reception then..."
Hearing this, Lin Nan really didn't know how to complain about Tom, who always thought about the reception.
Liu Yifei, who was standing next to him, was also amused by this guy.
"You should get your feet healed first."
"It will be very quick, very quick. The Chinese doctor said it will only take a hundred days..."
Wow, "It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone" has even come out!
Lin Nan smiled and gestured to Tom, then took Liu Yifei's hand and walked into the terminal hall.
…………
Capital time, 15 hours ahead of Los Angeles, entering the May Day holiday in advance.
The domestic film and television industry has exploded, what about the box office of "Youth" and "One Man's Martial Arts".
None of these matters anymore, Director Lin Nan really signed up for the Oscars!
"Academy newsletter: Directed by Chinese director Lin Nan, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Naomi Watts, Jessica Chastain and others.
The film "The Invisible Guest" meets the registration requirements and has been officially registered for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards, and has applied for all individual awards."
As soon as this news was reported back to China, it was pinned to the top by major media.
More than a week ago, everyone was not completely sure what the purpose of Lin Nan's movie preview was.
Now, everyone was shocked by the news, with a kind of shock that was beyond words.
This is the first mainland director to shoot a foreign language film to impact the Oscars!
"When will he come back?"
"Look at the news, Director Lin and his team took the flight last night. Calculate the time, he will be back this morning."
"Keep an eye on him, remind me when he comes back."
"Okay, Mr. Han."
The big directors in the industry have all become the subjects of media interviews.
Ask them what they think of Lin Nan's Oscars.
Chen Kaige is always serious;
"This is a rough and difficult road. In my opinion, it is a bit irrational for Lin Nan to strive for an Oscar so early.
He should settle down for a few more years, at least wait until he is 35 years old, and have more experience and experience before he can say it..."
Zhang Yimou was interviewed during the Beijing Film Academy audition:
"He is a young director, it is normal to be brave and aggressive. I definitely support and encourage him. The sooner this happens, the better."
"Oscar? Then I wish him all the best." Feng Xiaogang replied in the crew of "Personal Tailor".
Jiang Wen, Jia Zhangke and others all support it. The sooner the experience is accumulated, the better.
…………
I slept for nearly ten hours on the plane. When I opened my eyes, I was about to arrive.
"Here, do you want to eat something?"
Liu Yifei handed over some oranges, which were already peeled.
"Are you hungry? Let's go back for a big meal later."
Lin Nan took the orange and said softly.
"Well, okay."
Liu Yifei nodded immediately, with expectation in her smile. She is also a little foodie.
…
The plane landed.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, wearing sunglasses and masks, followed by their assistants, gathered with the crowd and walked towards the exit together.
Movie advertisements can be seen on both sides, such as "Youth", "One Man's Martial Arts", "Iron Man 3", "Chinese Partners"...
During the May Day holiday, the flow of people at the airport increased several times.
Originally thought that they could get through, but it turned out that Lin Nan and Liu Yifei thought too much.
Even if they separated from their assistants, it was useless and they were still blocked.
"I say, do you all have sharp eyes?"
Next to the vehicle in Hongxingwu, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were forced to accept an interview.
"It's mainly because Director Lin and Yifei are too conspicuous. One is handsome and the other is beautiful. Even if they disguise themselves well, their temperament is not that of ordinary people. It is easy to expose them."
A Sina reporter wearing glasses said with a smile, and his voice was not small.
Damn, what a talent.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei smiled at each other.
Other media reporters also looked at their colleague beside them: You got the first one!
Lin Nan looked at the reporter and joked, "I will definitely suggest to Mr. Cao that you give me a raise later."
"Then you'd better answer one more question for me, haha..."
"Ask, let's make it quick. We are in a hurry to go back to fill our stomachs. We only ate a little on the plane."
...
"Director Lin, when did you decide to compete for the Oscar this time?"
"A few years ago, I owed a favor to someone at that time, and I promised Leonardo, but it was delayed until the end of last year to start filming."
"Are you sure about competing for the Oscar this time?"
"Confident? Who dares to say that there is such a thing? You can only compete again and again. If it doesn't work once, try twice."
...
"Have you prepared your new movie?"
This question made Lin Nan pause for a moment, and he finally met something different.
"I'm preparing, but I can't reveal it now."
"Yifei, "Frozen"..."
...
After more than half an hour of delay, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei finally got rid of the reporters.
"Let's go to the private restaurant first."
As soon as she got in the car, Miss Liu shouted to the driver that these were all her employees of Red Star Studio.
When I turned on my phone, I saw text messages popping up one after another, and there were many missed calls.
"Ning Hao's script is ready, let's find some time to get together. You want to congratulate me on winning the Oscar a year in advance? What? Haha..."
Lin Nan has already accepted it, but why is it one year ahead of schedule?
Many people in the circle sent text messages, asking him to get together when he comes back, probably because they wanted to ask about Oscar.
"Script? Forget it, his scripts are generally not suitable for me."
Liu Yifei's interest, which she had just raised, dropped instantly.
"When the time comes, let's go take a look. He is asking me to participate in investment and nominal production."
"Yeah, okay."
In less than half an hour, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei arrived at their destination and had a hearty meal first.
…
News from the media comes out very quickly.
"Director Lin Nan and Liu Yifei landed at the Capital Airport in the morning."
"The Olympic film "The Invisible Guest" was decided a few years ago to repay Director Lin's favor..."
"Liu Yifei revealed that "Frozen", in which she participated in dubbing, will be released in the North American market by the end of the year, and may be released simultaneously with the mainland."
"Director Lin responded positively and a new film is in preparation."
…
Many people saw the news on the Internet, so much so that Lin Nan couldn't even eat a meal because his cell phone kept ringing, so he simply turned it off first.
Nowadays, Oscars are a trivial matter, and the industry is more interested in Lin Nan's new film.
Since "The Genius Gunman", Lin Nan has only filmed one film, "The Invisible Guest".
Although the cast of the latter is extremely strong, it is a foreign language film after all, so it is useless no matter how greedy everyone is.
But what Lin Nan said, the movie that is being prepared, in everyone's opinion, is definitely a Chinese film.
At present, looking at the entire film and television industry, Lin Nan's movies are definitely the number one cake, no doubt.
Zhang Yimou's "Return" also made countless actors in the industry feel regretful and regretful.
At this moment, everyone is eyeing Lin Nan's new film again, which is more tempting than "Return"!
…………
After eating and drinking enough, I feel very at ease.
"Sissi, please go back first."
"how about you."
Hearing Lin Nan's words, Liu Yifei, who had been in a naive state after eating, suddenly woke up and looked at him and asked.
"Go and take a look at China Film Studio."
Lin Nan said helplessly. He had just turned off his phone. When he turned it on, he saw Han Sanping's text message.
"Oh, then you can drive this car and I'll take the other one back."
After kissing Miss Liu, Lin Nan got in the car and went straight to China Film.
Sometimes it's really weird, isn't it just to sign up for an Oscar, and why be so excited?
After seeing Lin Nan, Han Sanping's first question was about competing for the Olympics.
"I said, Director Han, why do you ask this kind of question? This is Oscar, how can you be sure of it?"
Han Sanping was choked by Lin Nan's words and realized that his question was a bit stupid.
"Not only am I concerned, the Children's Bureau is also asking me. If you really succeed, the Bureau will send you a congratulatory text message."
Well? This topic was a bit formal and the standards were a bit high, so Lin Nan didn't dare to take it.
"I think about it too, but it's not something I can do just by thinking about it. I'll have to do public relations all the way..."
"By the way, let's talk about your new movie. I see that you said in front of reporters that you are already preparing for it."
Han Sanping suddenly changed the topic, catching Lin Nan off guard.
He looked at Han Sanping in front of him and didn't know whether he should open his mouth.
If he opens his mouth, will he call the Security Department and throw him out?
"That, I'm still planning to deceive reporters."
Hearing this, Han Sanping was stunned for a moment and lost his face, "You are so young and you are so lazy day by day. Hurry up and make a movie."
Lin Nan wants to laugh. Which director is as diligent as him? Making at least one movie a year, is this called laziness?
Suddenly, something came to his mind and he looked at Han Sanping:
"Director Han, may I ask you something?"
"explain."
"Zhang Dapao gave you a nickname originally, and now it's still spread outside. What do you think?"
Han Sanping seemed to be angry at Lin Nan and laughed:
"I'm just a clown. Who am I to care about that? You're just out of your mind to ask such a question."
"That's good, that's good..."
Lin Nan smiled and nodded.
Until he left Han Sanping's office, Lin Nan still felt a little unsafe.
But the next second, Lin Nan remembered someone and suddenly became happy: "Junior sister..."
…………
After leaving China Film Group Corporation, Lin Nan returned to the company.
Yue Jun had been waiting for a long time.
""One Man's Martial Arts" has a good reputation. Wang Baoqiang's role is the most eye-catching, and Zhao Wenzhuo has also received a lot of praise.
However, our reputation is better than that of "To Youth", but the box office has always been far behind, and we can't catch up. "
Lin Nan waved his hand, signaling Yue Jun not to pay too much attention.
"That kind of movie, as long as it's not too bad, it won't be bad at the box office. What's consumed is feelings. If it can't stand the test of time, we just have to play it slow and steady."
Lin Nan didn't finish. That "To Youth" has a fan effect from beginning to end.
Whether it is Zhao Yanzi, Han Geng, or the original novel, they all have a large number of fans.
These are incomparable to "One Man's Martial Arts".
"By the way, how's the script going?"
Although Lin Nan said that he wanted to see the finished script when he came back, that was just an attitude, representing how much he valued it.
"Well, the finished product has been completed and is being revised and refined again and again."
"When you're done, bring it to me."
"no problem."
Speaking of this, Lin Nan thought of another thing.
"What's the budget for Ip Man 3?"
"It's being worked on. It will be out in the next two days."
Lin Nan nodded. He calculated the time. The film project will be announced in a few days.
Now that "A Man's Martial Arts" has a good reputation, it's a good opportunity to replace Zhao Wenzhuo. Anyway, Lin Nan will not use Zhen Zidan again.
