Chapter 201 Bazaar, Gift
The news about Lin Nan’s graduation drama spread quickly.
All actors and companies familiar with the industry asked about it.
“It is not a commercial film and does not require investment.”
“Thank you, Director Yang, for your kindness. Even if you are an actor, I am not short of funds.”
China Film, Shanghai Film, Light...
The phone calls came one after another, and Lin Nan said the same thing over and over again.
Unlike these film companies and groups, the actors are simply crazy.
Not a commercial film?
That’s the prize film!
Everyone in the circle knows Lin Nan's resume.
He is not only a great director of commercial films, he also has two Silver Bear Director Trophies.
Li Baotian and Jiang Wenli in "Into the Dust", Ryan Reynolds in "Buried Alive".
These three people almost won Best Actor and Best Actress at the Berlin Film Festival.
"Into the Dust" was also nominated for the Golden Rooster in China.
Then if luck is not bad this time, better, better...
"Director Lin, look at our relationship. Although my sister has a few Best Actress trophies, who would have too many? "
"Haha, you should concentrate on the script of "The Wind""
...
"Lao Zhu, listen to me, it's nothing to do with you."
Zhu Yawen also came to join in the fun, but was dismissed by Lin Nan with a word.
Lin Nan admitted that he was negligent.
He originally planned to submit "The Martian" as his graduation project, just like "Time Cruiser".
Who knew that the courtyard would block his path in advance.
Nowadays, the only choice is to film for awards. Fortunately, a script was just given to Tom some time ago.
Liu Yifei hung around in front of Lin Nan eagerly, waiting for her boyfriend to take the initiative to explain.
"I need someone of Leonardo's level to control this script."
One sentence left the young lady dejected.
“Humph, you are so annoying.”
“Haha, don’t you still have to attend the press conference of Bazaar Charity Night? Go quickly.”
"You're not going?"
"I'll go on the charity night."
"Okay, I'll leave first, but you owe me another movie... ”
…………
Bazaar Charity Night, this is the sixth year.
It must be said that this event fully mobilized the fame and fortune characteristics of the artists in the circle, and it was a success.
Lin Nan has already received a list of auction items.
When he replied that he would participate in this event, Su Mang called him personally to thank him.
Within two hours, an exquisite auction album was delivered to Lin Nan’s company. It was very efficient and extremely realistic.
“Jewelry, jewelry, haute couture gowns, bags, oil paintings, cars, limited edition commemorations...”
Lin Nan flipped through the pages. Not to mention, there were quite a lot of good things.
All media were present at the Bazaar press conference.
Because the specifications this year have obviously more than doubled compared to last year, it can be seen from the guest list that has been announced.
A-list stars gather, there are several big directors, and CEOs of Huayi, Bona and other companies will also attend.
This year’s Charity Night is destined to be a vanity fair with lots of competition.
"Yifei, I remember this is your first time here, right?"
Huang Xiaoming looked at Liu Yifei beside him and asked.
"Well, this is my first time here."
Liu Yifei smiled, and many people looked here.
"Inception" was taken by this girl.
Nolan's "The Dark Knight" has grossed over one billion U.S. dollars at the global box office.
Every fool knows how big a cake "Inception" is now.
"You should know about Director Lin's new movie, right?"
Huang Xiaoming asked in a low voice. He thought he had a good relationship with Liu Yifei.
“He didn’t tell me, he just said he wanted an actor of Leonardo’s level.”
Liu Yifei's words made Huang Xiaoming very embarrassed. This sentence can knock back 99% of actors.
"At the charity gala, you can ask him face to face, haha."
"It still doesn't work, I have the self-knowledge." Huang Xiaoming quickly waved his hand.
The press conference is over.
The next day, Liu’s mother began to choose a dress for Liu Yifei.
In Liu Xiaoli's eyes, her daughter is the most beautiful.
An orange-yellow strapless strapless dress with silver stripes was chosen as Liu Yifei’s outfit for the Harper’s Bazaar night.
Paired with a pearl necklace and golden high heels, she looks even more fair and beautiful, like a lady.
"Yes, there are bracelets." Liu Xiaoli nodded and dressed up her daughter.
It looks good, but Lin Nan just feels a little shortchanged.
After a long time, Liu Yifei stood up, her skirt just reached her knees, which made Lin Nan even more uncomfortable.
“Get ready to go.”
…………
For this Bazaar Night, we booked a star-rated hotel and refused to allow ordinary people to approach.
The red carpet was laid from outside the hotel to the banquet hall on the third floor, with a staircase of more than ten meters in the middle.
The car stopped in front of the hotel. Lin Nan got out of the car first and then helped Liu Yifei down.
There were only Su Mang and Bazaar staff outside.
Lin Nan thought there would be a large number of reporters.
"Director Lin, Yifei, welcome to Bazaar Night. Everyone is inside."
"Thank you."
There were other staff members leading the way, leading Lin Nan and the two inside.
Entering the banquet hall on the third floor, it is instantly different from the outside.
A large number of celebrities from the film, television and sports circles gather here.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei entered the venue, and many people noticed.
"Director Lin, you are over here." Huang Xiaoming waved his hand.
The seating arrangements are not very good. Lin Nan sat at a table with Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei, Yu Dong and others.
Liu Yifei is with first-line female stars such as Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, Zhao Yanzi and Zhou Xun.
The two tables are quite far apart.
Huang Xiaoming’s table is quite close, including Chen Kun, Hu Jun, Lu Yi, Sun Honglei, etc.
Further away were those from Hong Kong and Taiwan, Wu Yusen, Chen Kexin...
Lin Nan glanced around and saw that all the female stars had worked hard.
"Director Lin, is your play really not open to the public?"
Wang Zhonglei asked as if no one else was around. This sentence attracted a lot of attention.
“No, my graduation project does not require investment from others.”
"Haha, there is always a chance of release then." Yu Dong joked.
Lin Nan did not answer the call.
The auction actually does not account for a large part. The theme of tonight’s charity night is mentioned above, which is the reconstruction of disaster areas.
Performance is also essential.
Zhang Liangying took the lead and many singers came up.
There are also two South Korean groups, well, they are both the most popular ones.
“The first lot, the Cartier lucky pendant...”
There were quite a few people raising the placards, Wang Zhonglei raised them once, and finally someone else got the 1.2 million.
Deng Wendi spent a lot of money, buying an oil painting for 3.5 million yuan.
After that, there are a large number of high-end luxury products, such as LV, Dior, Hermès, Gucci...
Most of the people holding placards were female celebrities and men with female companions.
Huang Xiaoming and a group of male artists are competing for a Gucci limited edition Dongfanghong bicycle.
Wang Zhongjun spent nearly one million to get a complete set of Olympic posters.
"Director Lin, is there nothing you like?"
"Look again. If you don't like anything, finally donate some money."
Not long after Lin Nan finished speaking, he saw something that interested him.
An emerald necklace.
Platinum as the base, inlaid with 127 natural black diamonds, 191 natural white diamonds, and a 56-gram colorless glass jadeite cabochon in the middle.
It looks elegant and luxurious.
The eyes of many female stars lit up, and several wives of big directors were holding up signs.
Lin Nan silently raised his number plate.
"Director Lin Nan, 950,000."
A group of competitors suddenly disappeared from the scene.
Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan from a distance. This necklace was not suitable for her. If it had not been given to her, then Lin Nan would be dead.
Only a few directors' wives from Hong Kong didn't give up. After some bidding, Lin Nan spent 1.2 million before it was over.
"Director Lin likes jewelry?"
Yu Dong asked curiously.
“Absolutely.”
If the jade necklace attracts many people, then Tiffany’s pink crystal necklace has attracted the attention of all the young women present. Who would feel that they are old?
Liu Yifei alone quoted the price three times, and several big-name celebrities showed no intention of being modest.
Sometimes money is not the most important thing.
"Director Lin Nan, 450,000."
One raise of the sign will solve 99% of the problem. For the remaining point, raise it again.
In the end, Lin Nan spent 500,000 to get this pink crystal necklace.
Lin Nan did not interfere with the next thing, but Liu Yifei took the same picture.
…………
Less than an hour after Bazaar ended, the amount of funds raised was announced online.
Lin Nan roughly remembers that there is more than the announced number?
After thinking about it, it was just that little thing, just shouting out the price, and in the end it was just a formality.
We visited more than a hundred celebrities, and it is estimated that at least one-third of them actually paid.
Someone sent the lot over.
Lin Nan looked at the luxurious jade necklace and a Chinese-style pink crystal lantern necklace in his yard, and was very satisfied.
Liu Yifei came over, holding a box in her hand.
“For you.”
A men’s watch, this is the only thing that Miss Liu took pictures of.
"Thank you."
Lin Nan smiled and pushed the pink crystal necklace over, "Your birthday gift."
Liu Yifei was overjoyed at first, and then looked at the jade necklace, and she felt a little excited for a moment. Not happy anymore.
“No more?”
“No more.”
Lin Nan spread his hands.
“Who is it for?” The girl pointed at the jade necklace on the table and was very angry.
“It’s not for you.” Lin Nan became more playful.
“Hmph, say it again.”
“It’s really not for you.
Hey, hey, don't come here, don't make a move..."
The offensive and defensive changes, from hands to words.
In the end, the girl was nestled in Lin Nan's arms, her cheeks were flushed, and she was breathing heavily. Unproportionate.
“You said it was for my mother, why didn’t you end it, and you decided to tease me. "
"Not just for your mother, but also for my future mother-in-law. ”
"Don't be shy, you are so thick-skinned." Although she said so, the smile on Liu Yifei's face could not deceive anyone.
"You can take it back later."
"Aren't you going to send it in person?"
"No, I'm afraid your mother will think that I am robbing her of her daughter, and then Refuse, haha.”
This is the first time Lin Nan has given a gift to Liu Xiaoli, so it would be safer to let Liu Yifei take it back.
"Hehe, I will put in a good word for you."
"Auntie should know that the cotton-padded jacket is so leaky, right?" Lin Nan joked.
