Chapter 481 Returning to China, the Four Little Huadans
The male protagonist was "guided" by the lawyer and "made up" the third story.
That is, the boy’s mother, who happened to be an employee of the hotel, hid the boy’s father in the room in advance.
While the male protagonist and his lover were waiting to redeem the evidence of their affair, the boy's father knocked out the male protagonist, killed his lover, and then left without leaving a trace with the help of his wife.
In this way, he not only avenged his son, but also put the blame for his lover's death on the male protagonist.
"No, no, no, you are happy too early. Your personal lawyer has long helped you delete the accident investigation record in the police station.
In other words, the boy's father does not know that you exist. . Then why did he decisively kill Laura and blame you directly? It doesn’t make sense, his motives are incomplete!”
In the camera, Leonardo’s mouth trembled slightly, “Actually, at that time, I He was also a part of the traffic accident, Laura was driving..."
One is the crime of intentional homicide for the death of his lover, and the other is the crime of cover-up for the car accident. The hero can tell which one is more serious. After all, the boy is still missing, not dead...
"Or you can think about this situation: In fact, your lover did everything alone, and you were not with her at all that day... She I pour the sewage from the car accident on you and you don’t know anything..."
The lawyer's words made the actor a little confused. The former continued:
"Actually, the prosecution does not have any witnesses. I lied to you that there were witnesses. I just wanted you to confess to me.
Only Only if you have complete trust in me as a defender can I help you perfectly convince the jury."
In the camera, Leonardo nodded in realization, showing a trace of relaxation.
He began to "make up" a fourth story, which was a story about his lover doing it alone and throwing dirty water on him. Since there were no witnesses, it would be perfect without any evidence.
"Actually, he was still alive when I pushed the car into the water..."
Hearing this, Naomi Watts, who played the elderly female lawyer, visibly trembled.
Her eyes widened, and a trace of sadness flashed through her eyes, but she concealed the emotion in an instant and continued to induce...
"Ka!"
Lin Nan stood up and clapped.
"I also said at the beginning that I hoped that like "The Hunt", the filming would be completed in one month.
But now it seems, Leon, you can let Crystal and I return to China a week early."
"Oh, doesn't that mean that we will be separated soon? This is not good news."
Naomi and Jessica said with a smile at the same time. These days, the group of people get along very well. good.
“No need to start work this afternoon, everyone has a good rest, we will shoot the last story tomorrow.
It is also the most important part of the movie, connecting, overturning, and completely reversing and subverting all previous plots. "
"Dear Lin, then we have to prepare in advance to wrap up the party. "
Lin Nan looked at Xiao Lizi and smiled, "Of course. ”
…………
It has only been three days, and the farce of a group of domestic directors and filmmakers has ended.
The film bureau's reply was very quick this time and the meaning is very clear:
"Taking into account the current development status of the domestic film industry, the classification system is too idealistic and is not more suitable for the domestic film industry than the censorship system... But in the future, it will be implemented in due course Consider and organize expert arguments.”
……
There are a lot of discussions in the circle and on the Internet, and they are all negative.
“The efficiency of the film bureau this time is extremely high!”
"Don't think about it. The word 'future' means that it will be impossible for at least 10 years..."
"Several top directors have not spoken out, which illustrates the problem. They are not Be optimistic about the rating system.”
……
Although the industry did not have high expectations from the beginning, the film bureau’s announcement still severely dampened the enthusiasm of the entire industry.
Lin Nan glanced at the message from Yue Jun.
To be honest, anyone in the industry who is not a very sharp-minded person can basically predict this result, and it will be a waste of time.
“Let’s go and watch a stage play.”
Liu Yifei herself put on light makeup, and Pingting looked very graceful.
In the afternoon, there happened to be a Broadway stage show in Hollywood, "The Beautiful Wife."
Between several movie party invitations and stage plays, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei chose the latter and went out on a date.
I heard it stars Scarlett Johansson.
Few people remember that this is also the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Drama.
Sometimes I have to lament Hollywood actors. Many of them pursue art.
Like Scarlett, even though her net worth has skyrocketed after "Avengers", she still hasn't given up on stage dramas.
Looking at the big names in domestic film and television, such as Zhang Ziyi, many of them are in the People's Art Theater and the National Theater.
But how many plays have they actually performed? Very few, almost never heard of it.
…………
In China, “囧” has finally come to an end after fifty days of release.
The total box office revenue was 1.267 billion, and the daily box office was less than 50,000, which is considered a successful release.
Xu Zheng suddenly became the second director in the 1 billion box office club, which is quite a dream.
However, this also made many big directors in the industry feel aggrieved and powerless. This was only Xu Zheng's second film, and he had become a monk halfway.
This is a Lunar New Year movie, and Feng Xiaogang, Wang Jing and others not only congratulated her, but also seemed to praise her.
Xu Zheng is also very good at life. He said bluntly: "In the field of directing, I am still a primary school student. In the future, I will still need the support and guidance of Director Lin and other seniors..."
Three During the interview, the creator was asked about the sequel.
Both Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang are very low-key, "Director Lin has not announced yet. If there is a sequel and it is still the original cast, we will give priority to the schedule and even reject other announcements without hesitation."
But Xu Zheng was different. After thinking for a moment, he directly told reporters that there would be a sequel.
This made Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang a little confused. Why didn't they know?
There was a rapid discussion in the circle. After hearing the news, Yue Jun frowned. In his opinion, Xu Zheng went a little too far.
......
"She has a very good figure, with big breasts and wide butt. No wonder she will become a screen sweetheart."
In the evening, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei returned to Beverly Hills, and the latter said with a wink.
"Europeans and Americans cannot stand the test of time. In five years, they will be much inferior. And in ten years, you will still be at your peak beauty."
Lin Nan will Liu Yifei's bag He put it on the sofa and said to himself, very seriously.
"Slick-tongued, I remember you were not like this when I first met you."
Liu Yifei bit her lip, smiled and looked at Lin Nan with a playful look in her eyes .
"When I started my freshman year, I had just turned 18, and you had just celebrated your 15th birthday a few days ago. How could I dare?"
"Okay, it turns out you were breaking things at that time. Idea!”
“It’s unfair, I don’t admit it...”
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei looked at each other and smiled heartlessly.
……
"The Invisible Guest" comes to the last story.
"The first four stories will be repeated from today on. It's just that the protagonist in the story has changed and became Leon."
The crew, Lin Nan looked at Leon Leonardo, speaking to everyone.
"I have asked Tom to prepare a cocktail party, and we will celebrate together after the filming is completed."
All the crew members, whether actors or the logistics team, cheered.
"Get ready, action!"
With this action, three days of filming began...
All the previous stories were connected together, all overthrown, all reversed and subverted.
Three months ago, the male protagonist and his lover made an excuse to go to Paris for a business trip, but it was actually an affair.
On the return trip, the male protagonist took a shortcut, and his lover proposed to end the affair and break up, followed by a quarrel and a car accident.
The lover wants to call the police, but the hero stops him. He is at the peak of his career and cannot be stained.
The male protagonist played by Leonardo took the initiative to dump the body and asked his lover to wait there. When the boy's father came...
The male protagonist scrapped his car and took the boy with him She asked her lover to use her husband's computer to forge the evidence of absconding with money.
The latter refused, but the rich and powerful male protagonist still succeeded in forging the "incident" of the boy absconding with the money.
The tragic situation of the boy's parents made the lover extremely guilty. She decided to expose the male protagonist and sent him a blackmail letter in the boy's name, asking him to take the money to a remote hotel.
She wanted to use the money to compensate the boy's parents. She also told the boy's parents the location of the hotel and asked them to come too.
The cunning male protagonist discovered that his lover was planning to expose him, so he decisively struck first and killed his lover.
Then he hit his head badly and faked the scene... At this time, the boy's parents had not arrived yet.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei sat behind the monitor. In the camera: Naomi looked at Leonardo and said coldly:
"The old couple arrived at the hotel and learned about Laura's death. They immediately understood all the truth..."
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Lizi heard the other party's abruptness and With cold words, he noticed something was wrong and asked subconsciously.
At this time, the phone rang. It was the male protagonist’s personal lawyer calling.
Naomi said, "You answer the phone first, I'll go out and get some fresh air..."
The call was connected, and the private lawyer told the hero that the passing driver had paid for it. The latter had never met the hero. In addition, the defender had something to do on the road and would not be able to get to the hero in two hours...
< br>At this time, in the secondary shot, Naomi had already entered the elevator, crossed the street, and reached the building opposite.
She hugged the boy's father, and she got the location where the hero's car sank and the recording.
She used her hands to tear open behind her ears, a faux human leather mask was peeled off, and the white hair cover was removed.
The face revealed again is that of the boy’s mother...
In the main shot, Leonardo looks horrified.
He looked at the table and saw a few lines of insulting words left on the paper, plus what the private lawyer said that the defender was still on the way.
He finally realized that the defender just now was fake...
...
...
""The Invisible Guest" is finished!"
"Tonight's cocktail party, you won't come home until you're drunk!"
Lin Nan looked at all the crew members present and felt a long sigh of relief He took a breath and shouted excitedly.
“God!”
“Ouch…”
All kinds of cheers came and went.
Lin Nan also held up Miss Liu's face and kissed her hard, making her giggle.
……
The reception was held in the evening and guests gathered.
At the same time, it was just bright in China.
"The foreign language film "The Invisible Guest" co-produced by Crystal Pictures and Appian Trail Pictures, directed by Director Lin Nan, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Naomi Watts, Jessica Chastain and others, is officially Finished.”
“The reception was attended by a luxurious lineup of guests, including Lionsgate Pictures, Warner Bros., Disney... Nolan, Wen Tsai-ren, Anne Hathaway, Matt Damon...”
The domestic film and television circles were attracted by this news.
"So fast?"
"It's similar to the original "Hunting". No surprise, it will be an award-winning film! Oscar?"
So, Director Lin and Liu Yifei are going back to China?
…………
It’s past seven in the morning.
Tom took people and sent Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and two assistants to the airport.
"Lin, Crystal, the next time we see you is at the end of the year."
"Tom, remember to lose weight." Liu Yifei was the first to joke.
“Crystal, don’t say such hurtful words.”
“I’ll take it back to edit it. If you need to re-record it later, let them dub it at Crystal Pictures.”
< br>"Okay, Lin."
After chatting for a few more minutes, Lin Nan and the four of them walked into the airport.
The 12-hour flight is indeed a long journey for those who are eager to return home.
In the first class cabin, Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei's teasing eyes and couldn't help but joke:
"Isn't it just a kiss on the face? I was attacked by a sneak attack, well, it's the first time !”
“You can hide.”
Liu Yifei rolled her eyes, her delicate face shining in the light outside the window, looking particularly attractive.
"Wouldn't that make the other party very embarrassed to come to the stage?"
At the reception last night, Lin Nan was attacked by two actresses from his own movie, saying it was a farewell etiquette.
“Next time, remember to hide.”
Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan and muttered, as if she had suffered a loss and been taken advantage of.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Lin Nan felt that the feeling of being jealous was actually quite good.
On a plane, you have to adjust to the jet lag. The best way is to take a nap so that it will still be daytime when you wake up.
Twelve hours later, domestic time, around ten o'clock in the morning.
New Year’s Eve is not far away. The weather also seemed dry and cold.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei wore the same down jackets and followed the two assistants out of the Capital Airport.
The media has been waiting for a long time and finally caught these two big fish.
Lin Nan also knew that he probably couldn’t hide.
After all, I went to Hollywood to shoot a foreign language film, and these people would not let me slip away easily.
"Director Lin, Yifei, your couple's down jacket looks great."
Lin Nan nodded helplessly. If you can't speak, just don't say anything.
Liu Yifei was smiling because she was the one who picked the clothes...
"Director Lin, can you introduce "The Invisible Guest"? During this time, everyone is really curious about this movie."
"Sorry, this really won't work. If it can be released in China by then, everyone can go to the theater to watch it."
Hearing this, a group of reporters became excited, "Do you want to introduce it? "
"It's hard to say, I will try it later."
Lin Nan doesn't really want to introduce imported films into the country. He wants to use batch films because the share of imported films is too low.
If you are reviewing a film, you only need to turn your left hand to your right hand.
If it is a film batch, he actually only needs to pay part of the funds to Leonardo's Appian Road, and the rest of the losses are just taxes.
The difference between imported films and approved films is nearly 20 points.
At this time, some media asked about a hot news.
"Director Lin, Yifei. After 4 years, the new four young actresses are being selected. What do you think?"
Lin Nan really didn't pay attention to this matter, and Liu Yifei certainly didn't care about the country either. News here.
"If you hadn't asked, Yifei and I wouldn't have known about this. What's the situation now?"
Lin Nan asked with a smile, and Liu Yifei was also very curious.
The reporters suddenly started talking.
In the past four years, Liu Yifei has been promoted to Dahua, became a producer, and became a capital in the industry, so naturally she was not included in the selection.
Huang Shengyi, the former leader of the four young actors, has fallen and is not qualified for selection.
Wang Luodan has also gone astray and has fallen to the back of the second line. In addition, Huayi has a person who looks similar to him, and now his career is even more difficult.
There is only one Yang Mi, who still maintains high exposure and commercial value, and is a hot A-list actress.
Jing Tian has no nationality and is not too hyped; Shu Chang is deeply influenced by Liu Yifei and is too lazy.
Both of them lack exposure and topics, and they are not among the popular candidates.
Lin Nan understood that this year's selection of the Four Little Actresses is no longer like before.
Liu Yifei was joined by CCTV and was jointly selected by hundreds of mainstream media.
But it’s not the case this time. Many companies are spending money, swaying public opinion, and trying to promote people.
But speaking of it, Yang Mi is indeed very stable. Currently, she has a stable position with the support of Shanhai Media and Lin Nan Pictures.
"Director Lin, will "The Invisible Guest" go to the Oscars?"
The media asked the last question, and all the reporters widened their eyes, looking forward to Lin Nan's answer.
