Chapter 503 Official registration, end
Two days before the release of "To Youth", Lin Nan and Liu Yifei boarded a flight to Hollywood with several assistants.
In the airport photos, the two of them, dressed in couple-style casual trench coats and sunglasses covering their faces, look extremely well matched and very eye-catching.
The two people in front of the camera smiled and waved, especially Liu Yifei, whose smile was even sweeter, which made people stop and almost caused congestion.
"Liu Yifei will fly to Hollywood today to participate in the dubbing performance of Disney's 3D animated blockbuster "Frozen"."
"Director Lin Nan set out with Liu Yifei and will miss the official release of "One Man's Martial Arts"."
The news spread quickly, and actresses in the industry were passively reminded of "Frozen", which was also a piece Tempting big cake.
Because today I can participate in the dubbing performance of the heroine in a Disney animated movie, who knows, I will be able to appear in a Disney live-action movie tomorrow.
No actress will be tempted by this kind of temptation.
“Why did he go too?”
Lin Nan's itinerary left many people in the industry confused.
“After all, we are still young, and we are inseparable, so that’s understandable, haha...”
Here, just two hours after Lin Nan and Miss Liu set off, Zhang Yimou’s studio An announcement was issued to the outside world.
"The movie "Return" adapted from "The Chinese Criminal" will audition for the second female lead in major art schools. Only amateurs will be considered.
For the other supporting roles, please Please do not submit your audition resume to the studio again. The crew will not open the auditions to the public. An invitation-only system has been planned..."
This announcement severely dampened the enthusiasm and the slightest illusion of all young actresses in the industry.
A large number of young first-line actresses and girls such as Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Ni Nai, Zhou Dongyu, Jing Tian, etc. are all a little frustrated and regretful.
This result seems to have caused them to miss out on the Best Supporting Actress award.
Although we were very reluctant, there was nothing we could do. Everyone could only do what they had to do and disperse.
“That’s it, let’s wait patiently for “Gu Jian Qi Tan” to start filming and join the group.”
…………
The morning sun is quite dazzling.
When Lin Nan and his group left the airport, they put on their sunglasses again.
"Huh? That guy Tom didn't come today? You're still a little used to it."
Lin Nan looked at the person who came to pick up the plane and joked with a smile.
"Maybe there is something else?" Liu Yifei nodded and guessed.
I saw only four employees who came to pick up the plane. They wanted to laugh but were holding back.
"Boss, Boss Tom fell down. It's... a little inconvenient at the moment."
In the end, a familiar face explained.
This answer made Lin Nan and Liu Yifei even more curious.
Had a fall? Is it serious?
“Let’s go, take us back to Beverly Hills first.”
Lin Nan didn’t ask any further questions and just gave a few instructions.
An hour later, everyone arrived at their destination.
The first thing is to contact Leonardo and Disney. The next step is to work.
"Lin, in the evening, would you like to take Crystal out to meet us?"
"No problem, Leon."
Liu Yifei was also on the phone next to her, speaking fluent foreign languages. The problem of docking time.
"Tomorrow morning, I have to go to Disney to audition first, and then I will officially start dubbing. They plan to release it at the end of the year."
Miss Liu looked very motivated. , I have already learned the lines in "The Snow Queen", which is so cute.
Lin Nan just cooperated from the side. In his eyes, Liu Yifei was a scenery, pleasing to the eye.
His good mood... was ruined until he received a call from Tom.
This guy did fall, which was a bit funny and embarrassing.
Tom fell off the woman's bed. He was slightly drunk, and coupled with his weight, he broke one of his feet on the spot.
……
In the evening.
Lin Nan took Liu Yifei and met Leonardo in a high-end restaurant.
Seeing the two figures, the latter waved to the waiter.
"Lin, Crystal, this should be the shortest time between us." Xiao Lizi said with a smile.
Indeed, Lin Nan and his wife left Hollywood at the end of January, and now they are back at the end of April.
"Leon, let's talk about the screenings."
Business matters. In this regard, DiCaprio is definitely more professional than Lin Nan, just for his obsessive obsession with Oscar. .
“Click screenings are different from public screenings. I suggest opening ten screenings, just in Los Angeles, or even a smaller scale, just in Hollywood.”
“As for the guests, the Academy’s judges and the media Journalists, film critics, and a small number of ordinary viewers, this is enough.”
It can be seen that Leonardo’s Appian Road has been planned very carefully in advance, just waiting for the director Lin Nan. Come to the platform together.
"Two games a day, ending in five days?" Lin Nan asked.
"Yes."
"Then, you have to wait for me."
Liu Yifei winked playfully at Lin Nan. Her dubbing work can never be completed in five days.
“I can pick you up and drop you off every day.”
Lin Nan said it naturally, getting a sweet smile.
Leonardo looked at the two people in front of him and was a little speechless. He did not bring a female companion today.
But the next moment, he realized that his girlfriend had just broken up with him some time ago, and he hadn’t decided on a new one yet.
…………
The next day.
Crystal Pictures and Appian Trail have booked a movie theater in Hollywood.
The two companies jointly sent movie screening invitations to many Hollywood companies, academy judges, media, film critics, etc.
Lin Nan accompanied Liu Yifei and her group to Disneyland.
Here in China, "To Youth" is officially released.
But there seems to be something different in the news.
"Directed by Zhao Wei, "To Our Dying Youth" was officially released today, with a film scheduling rate as high as 32%."
"According to theater sources, the movie "To Youth" has an attendance rate of over 90% %, the box office is expected to be good on the first day. "
...
"Liu Yifei officially joined the voice cast of "Frozen", and the film will be released in North America at the end of the year."
"Hollywood movie information, the movie "The Invisible Guest" directed by Director Lin Nan and starring Leonardo, Naomi Watts, Jessica Chastain and others will be released in the next few days Hollywood holds screening ceremony..."
The previous news is okay, after all, everyone knows that Liu Yifei went to Hollywood to participate in film dubbing.
But the second piece of news was like a depth bomb to the mainland film industry, instantly causing a huge storm of public opinion.
Most people’s first reaction is: Is this movie going to be released?
"Will you be showing it now?"
"I haven't heard of it. He hasn't told anyone before, right?"
The film and television industry and the Internet were all buzzing with discussions.
Soon, many people realized something, which everyone had habitually missed before.
“The rules of the Oscars are that before a film is submitted, it must at least be screened!”
“Director Lin’s film is a foreign language film, and with this lineup, he...he wants to Sign up for the Oscars?”
“The more I think about it, the more I think that Director Lin Nan is going to do something big again!”
China Film, Shanghai Film... Huayi, Enlight, Wanda... all giant companies were shocked by this news.
Many directors in the industry scoffed, thinking it was impossible.
If this is true, then Lin Nan is the second mainland director to compete for regular Oscar awards.
The first one was Zhang Yimou's "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" last year, but it didn't get a single nomination.
Furthermore, Lin Nan will be the first mainland director to apply for the Olympics with a purely foreign language film. ……
"Director Han, I really don't know. Director Lin never told me that I can't get involved in Crystal Pictures' affairs..."
For several hours in a row Yue Jun's phone has never been disconnected, and everyone can't afford to offend him. Even the film bureau is asking questions.
"Director Lin, are you going to compete in the Olympics?"
The entire film industry seems to have acquiesced in this statement, and almost all the actors are paying attention.
At this moment, Yang Mi's mood was very complicated and she couldn't express it.
If Lin Nan really succeeds, or succeeds someday in the future, she may become a joke in the industry.
But asking herself, she doesn’t know if she will regret it, maybe, she won’t regret it...
Ning Hao, Jiang Wen... Huang Xiaoming, Jing Tian, Liu Dehua and many other Familiar people in the circle are asking via text messages or emails.
This news is indeed too sudden and unbelievable.
Even the Weibo accounts of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were also filled with messages.
…………
Screening is an essential part of applying for Oscars.
The first day of screenings of "The Invisible Guest" has begun, with one show in the morning and one in the afternoon.
As a film director, Lin Nan and Leonardo, Naomi Watts, Jessica Chastain and others cannot be absent.
"From the registration deadline in July, we have to prepare for public relations."
"Leave professional matters to professionals, and we will pay."
Lin Nan can only do this Answering Little Plum, he looked at Tom who was leaning on a Chinese crutch.
"This matter will be handled by you later."
"No problem, Lin."
The screening ended in the afternoon, and the media in Hollywood have already started reporting on "The Invisible Guest".
Lin Nan specially went to pick up Liu Yifei and have dinner with everyone.
“It’s very interesting to dub for animated movies. It’s much easier than filming, and it’s also fun.”
Ms. Liu said happily. She seemed to like the dubbing work very much.
"How long will it take for the dubbing of "Frozen" to be completed?"
"About a week, it's very efficient." Liu Yifei said confidently.
For a movie of about 100 minutes, dubbing for six hours a day, eliminating the unqualified ones, and then selecting the best from the best. This speed is already slow, and it is not filming.
…………
Taking the time to look at the messages on their phones and in their mailboxes, both Lin Nan and Liu Yifei felt that a group of people were making a fuss.
However, Zhao Yanzi did steal the spotlight.
The media has eulogized her, even though the movie was controversial and received mixed reviews.
"Director Lin Nan said it right. "To Youth" did not escape those cliche storylines, which are too fake."
"This is not most people's youth, ours Youth does not have such luxury, and we dare not fool around like this..."
...
""To Youth" grossed 45.2 million at the box office on its first day, making it the best-performing domestic film after the Spring Festival. .”
"Zhao Si surpassed director Xue Xiaolu and became the female director with the highest first-day box office in Chinese film history!"
""One Man's Martial Arts" was officially released, with the peak showdown between Wang Baoqiang and Zhao Wenzhuo..."
...
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, one is busy screening movies and the other is busy dubbing movies.
It’s really only at night that two people have time to live a life of two people without shame.
As the screenings go by, there are more and more drafts of "The Invisible Guest".
Lin Nan also took the time to watch the new project the company is filming - "Fifty Shades of Grey"!
24-year-old Dakota Johnson is quite interesting.
When it came time to shoot the "special shots", Lin Nan was a little embarrassed and simply left.
“It has been three days since the screening. According to the rules, we are already qualified to register.”
"Then sign up officially."
Lin Nan said firmly.
After getting these done, they can return to China after Liu Yifei’s dubbing is completed.
Looking at the book "Manchester by the Sea" on the bookshelf, Lin Nan felt that this script could be placed after "The Invisible Guest", next year...
Disney.
"Lin, welcome to your arrival. Today I will take you to visit the animation production center owned by Disney."
A bald British guy shook hands with Lin Nan enthusiastically.
“Thank you.”
In Hollywood, there are clear distinctions between the major giants and the independent film industry.
The major giants also have different focuses.
Like Disney, where Lin Nan is now, they prefer commercial films and have many copyrights.
But on the other hand, they also lack capable and award-winning directors.
In Hollywood, the great directors who have made their names at these international film festivals are generally from the independent film industry.
They rarely sign contracts with several giants, or are willing to sign with several giants.
"After some time, we will contact China Film and Television and send "Frozen" for review..."
Lin Nan understands the meaning of these words and exports them to the country.
“I wish you all the best.”
“However, we also hope that we will still have the opportunity to continue to cooperate with Crystal in the future. Of course, that includes you, Lin.”
“ I look forward to that day." Lin Nan responded with a smile.
Being invited to visit Disney today is the second priority, mainly because Liu Yifei’s dubbing will end today.
Lin Nan just happened to be able to leave with Miss Liu, so she agreed to the invitation.
Bu Lai didn’t know it, but it turned out that he was also the target of being attracted. This feels pretty good.
When Liu Yifei finished dubbing early and was preparing to leave with her assistant, she saw Lin Nan, and a hint of surprise instantly filled her eyes.
"Why are you here? I was about to call you to tell you."
"Congratulations, your dubbing performance has been successfully completed."
After Lin Nan finished speaking, he suddenly felt that something was missing. He should have brought a bouquet of flowers.
After declining the invitation to the banquet, Lin Nan left with Liu Yifei and others.
…………
The news that "The Invisible Guest" has officially registered for the Oscars was reported by Hollywood.
I believe it will be spread back to China within an hour.
"When we go back, we will probably be stuck in traffic again."
"It was inevitable, but who made me sign up for the Oscars quietly, even though I didn't have much confidence, haha..."
< br>Lin Nan was talking to Liu Yifei while watching domestic movie information.
""Youth" grossed 150 million at the box office in the three days of its first weekend and 270 million in 6 days. Fan movies have once again become the focus."
"Youth-themed movies have become the focus of discussion in the industry , the production industry may gather together for filming, ushering in a period of high productivity.”
"Enlight's stock price has soared due to the box office of "Youth", Wang Changtian issued a message..."
"The box office of "One Man's Martial Arts" on the first day was 34.6 million, and the total in the first weekend and two days was 70.2 million, 5 days A total of 180 million was collected..."
Lin Nan is a little regretful that "One Man's Martial Arts" is ultimately not as good as a youth film with its own fan base.
However, when it comes to audience reputation, "To Youth" is much inferior. After all, it is just a youth film.
