Chapter 478 Next Year’s Oscar
The male protagonist played by Leonardo still told the “truth” about what happened between himself and his lover.
In his words, someone had evidence that he and the lover played by Jessica Chastain had cheated on each other and betrayed their family, and had also sent him blackmail text messages.
That’s why he took 200,000 US dollars with his lover to a hotel far away designated by the other party to conduct transactions, hoping to redeem the evidence.
After all, two hundred thousand US dollars is just a drop in the bucket compared to half of the family property that will be divided in divorce.
But this time, I waited for a long time without seeing anyone, and finally received a text message to change the transaction location.
“We thought it was a trap, and we were ready to leave immediately.”
“Then what?”
“I lifted up the box containing the money, and as soon as I straightened up, I was I was knocked unconscious. I don’t know how long I was unconscious. When I woke up, I heard the police knocking on the door. She was dead..."
…………
"cut!"
Lin Nan shouted softly.
Leonardo and Naomi Watts instantly came out of their duel state.
"How are you, Lin?"
"Excellent, you perfectly played the role of an honest man and victim who is cowardly, remorseful, innocent, loves his wife and family, but accidentally cheated on his wife. image.”
Lin Nan was not stingy with his praise at all, this was a fact.
"If you didn't read the script, who would have thought that the real male protagonist is a selfish, hypocritical, vicious, and scheming guy!"
Naomi Watts glanced at it Lin Nan and Xiao Lizi joked with a smile.
When she first got this script, she was really stunned because the characters and plot were endlessly reversed, which was very exciting.
"Okay, let's shoot here today. After that, we have to go to the location and film the content of your lies again and again."
Lin Nan said to Leonardo and everyone.
Hollywood has strict requirements on film shooting time, and he does not want to be troubled by the union.
"Well, okay. Then we'll see you tomorrow." The two said in unison.
…………
When he returned to Beverly Hills, Lin Nan saw another party invitation.
"Which movie's public relations reception is this again?"
Liu Yifei was about to take a shower, but when she saw Lin Nan reading the invitation letter in the living room on the first floor, she asked casually.
"Ignore it, I'm not going anywhere tonight."
Lin Nan looked up at Liu Yifei and smiled pointedly.
Liu Yifei was obviously stunned, and her face immediately turned red:
"I don't care where you go, I'm going to take a shower..."
As he spoke, he walked away without looking back and went straight to the bathroom.
Lin Nan looked away with a smile and hummed a ditty, although he was a bit tone-deaf.
He looked at the invitation letter from the Weinstein Films in his hand again.
The next second, Lin Nan threw it into the trash can. He didn't want to deal with this guy.
Not to mention the extremely bad impression of Weinstein in China, even in Hollywood, he is also a notorious figure and is shamed by many production companies.
Because this guy is well versed in Oscar public relations, and his methods are both dark and despicable.
Many directors, actors, big companies and even giants have suffered losses and been hacked.
The next day, on the set of "The Invisible Guest".
"Lin, isn't Crystal here today?"
fellow woman Jessica Chastain asked.
Although there was no scene for her yesterday, she had been introduced to Liu Yifei before.
Lin Nan opened her mouth and said jokingly: "Well, she is sleeping in at home and has to fly to Paris in the afternoon."
The scene to be filmed today is that of Leonardo DiCaprio yesterday. The first lie uttered.
When everyone is almost ready, the game recorder is ready to play...
When the two actors nodded at Lin Nan, he decisively signaled to all the staff.
“action!”
The first transaction location, in the hotel room.
Leonardo and Jessica Chastain walked around anxiously, waiting for no one.
Until I received a text message, it was actually sent from the mobile phone of the lover played by Jessica Chastain.
"He got your phone number, and he sent me a text message using your phone."
For a moment, Jessica Chastain thought of something, "This is a trap, the other party doesn't know who I am." I came with you..."
"Let's go quickly"
According to what Leonardo said yesterday, he was knocked unconscious and the woman was dead when he woke up. The police rushed in and restrained him.
……
The shooting time in the afternoon is from 3 to 7 o'clock, so there is plenty of rest time at noon.
Lin Nan went back to the villa. He wanted to take Liu Yifei to the airport in person.
“Producer Liu slept all morning, are you full of energy?”
“Unfortunately, I can’t be energetic when I’m on the set, and I always want to take a nap.”
Seeing the increasingly radiant Liu Yifei, Lin Nan couldn't help but joke.
"You are the only one who talks a lot."
Miss Liu retorted with dignity. He glanced at the two assistants waiting by the car outside, then came up and sat on Lin Nan's lap, giving them a long kiss.
“Are you not sleepy now?” She rolled her eyes and said playfully.
Lin Nan chuckled and nodded, "Yeah. How long will this trip take?"
Hearing this question, Liu Yifei showed a hint of seriousness on her face, and she looked at Lin Nan : "Originally it only takes two days, but we still have to go have a meal and talk."
Lin Nan knew that he must have this meal. Since he went there and the Chinese New Year was coming soon, it was impossible to miss this meal and talk about life and work. "Say hello to me."
"Why don't you say it yourself?"
"I think so too. I'm busy. Why don't you wait until the time is right?" , will you take me there?"
Lin Nan remembered the time when he went to Paris to shoot "Inception".
That person must have finished eating with Liu Yifei and her daughter, and when they were about to leave, they took a look at Lin Nan.
Until now, Liu Yifei didn’t know that Lin Nan had already met that person.
He looked at Miss Liu, waiting for her answer.
I saw him gently nodding his head, his forehead pressed against Lin Nan's shoulder: "Well, I definitely want it..."
…………
Half an hour later, the two cars drove out of Beverly Hills and headed towards the airport.
Lin Nan watched Liu Yifei and the others walk into the waiting hall and completely disappear from sight, and then he safely took the people back to the company.
......
The news in China is quite lively, and major companies are preparing for their annual meetings.
Lin Nan Pictures is the most dazzling company in the entire film industry this year. Several movies have all been box office hits, and the copyright revenue is even more dazzling.
Therefore, the joint annual meeting of Lin Nan Pictures, Tiangong Color, and Shanhai Media is naturally the focus of major media attention.
When seven South Korean girl groups including Girls’ Generation, T-ara, WonderGirls, KARA, f(x), SISTAR, and AOA appeared at the annual meeting and performed on stage one by one, the industry and the media were stunned. .
A large number of netizens looked at the uploaded photos and videos and felt as if they had been injected with blood.
“So many legs, hot pants!”
“So straight, so long, so white, so energetic...”
"Director Lin is a good boss!"
"I want to ask, is it still too late to rush to the scene now?"
"It's definitely too late, but you definitely won't be able to get in. Go!”
“I’m going to apply for Tiangong Color and try to get in in June. I’ll watch the annual meeting next year, up close...”
“What are you daydreaming about? ”
...
Companies in the entire film and television industry have been attracted by Lin Nan Pictures' generous investment.
These seven girl groups, even if they are packaged for a price of more than 10 million, they shouldn’t be able to get them, right?
Coupled with the eight million prize pool and a large number of annual meeting gifts...
"Hiss, Lin Nan is a big dog!"
"Having made so much money this year, this expenditure is indeed a piece of cake for him, Mad."
…………
The crew of "The Invisible Guest", three The expressions of the two leading actors had different expressions at this time
"Awarding awards, isn't this a common thing?"
Lin Nan looked at the three people in front of him and said with a smile.
At this year's Golden Globe Awards, Leonardo was nominated for Best Supporting Actor; Jessica Chastain and Naomi Watts were both nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Series.
At the Golden Globe Awards last night, Jessica Chastain won the award.
Naomi Watts definitely gained nothing. Neither did Leonardo, losing out to his castmates.
"Tomorrow is the time when the Oscars announce the nomination list for regular awards. There is still a chance."
Jessica Chastain was carefree and comforted the other two people.
"That guy yesterday was so arrogant and rude."
Naomi Watts said, shaking her head.
Lin Nan knows who she is talking about, isn’t it Jennifer Lawrence, whom Weinstein strongly supports.
The latter won the Best Actress in Music and Comedy category. When delivering her speech, she only said two sentences.
The first sentence is to thank Weinstein;
The second sentence is a satire on Meryl Streep, a powerful actress who is favored by everyone.
Today this guy was accused by many people of being rude and not worthy of the trophy.
"Oscar, you three are direct competitors, regardless of the drama or musical categories."
Leonardo reminded Jessica Chastain sentence.
He was also quite nervous. Although he was only nominated for a supporting role, the Oscar has been a curse in his mind for so many years, a lingering obsession.
Sure enough, Jessica Chastain and Naomi Watts were a little silent after hearing Leonardo's words.
"Shakespeare in Love" is still a joke in Hollywood, but it also proves how strong Weinstein's public relations capabilities are.
The crew the two of them are in may not be able to compete.
“Everyone, get ready, we are about to start filming.”
Lin Nan’s words made several people’s thoughts return to the crew of “The Invisible Guest” from tomorrow’s Oscar nomination list.
The expressions of these people were indeed quite interesting in Lin Nan's eyes.
Normally, everyone is a professional actor and a top star, but in front of the Oscars, he still behaves nervously and worries about gains and losses, even DiCaprio.
"Lin, will our movie go to the Oscars?"
At this time, Naomi Watts suddenly asked, and the other two people also looked at Lin Nan.
Lin Nan acted very casually and said with a smile:
"Can we give it a try, like next year's Oscars?"
Hearing this, the three of them smiled at the same time.
"Then we have to pay more attention and shoot quickly."
