Chapter 602 "Weinstein"-style happiness
Jiang Wen's status in the international film industry is not low. The Hollywood Movie Daily has already announced the release of "One Step Away".
This is just March at the beginning of the year, and he has gone straight to the Lunar New Year festival, reserving a lot of time for publicity. His ambition and appetite are evident.
Everyone in the mainland film industry can see that he has made it clear that he wants to repeat the path of "Let the Bullets Fly" and achieve breakthroughs and surpasses at the box office.
Maybe by the end of this year, there will be another great director in the 1 billion box office club!
""One Step Away" is scheduled to be released in North America, and we are negotiating with a suitable distributor..."
Crystal Pictures, Lin Nan was sitting in the office, reading the news.
In his mind, he unconsciously pictured Jiang Wen's "arrogant" and "pointing the country" look.
It seems that as long as he goes to the Lunar New Year movie, other movies are destined to be like chickens and dogs!
“That guy Leon is really ruthless.”
Tom sighed and walked into Lin Nan's office, looking like he had seen a ghost.
“What’s wrong with him?”
“Lin, I heard from the paparazzi that he kicked his girlfriend of three months, and the girl was only 22 years old.”
"Isn't this normal? He is Leonardo." Lin Nan laughed out loud.
“No, no, no, do you know how weird his reason is?
It was said that in order to be able to concentrate on filming the movie, we simply broke up to avoid distractions. "
The smile on Lin Nan's face suddenly froze. What kind of excuse is this for lying? He and "Manchester by the Sea" refused to take the blame!
"Haha, do you think I Do you believe it? This is at most a small part of the reason. Ninety-nine percent of it is because he is tired of it! "
Lin Nan complained unceremoniously. If Liu Yifei saw this gossip, she might have to "teach him something" again.
"Huh?" It seems to make sense! ”
Tom thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
“Forgetting the boring stuff, how many audition resumes have you received for several major roles?”
“We have received no fewer than fifty, all of them are senior actors in Hollywood.< br>
Lin, don’t underestimate your influence, let alone their desire for awards.”
Tom said proudly with a big belly.
"Then notify these actors and auditions will begin tomorrow morning."
Lin Nan glanced at Tom and gave casual instructions. He must know his influence, why does he need this guy Tom to remind him? Really,
"Okay, Lin."
......
When Lin Nan returned to Beverly Hills in the afternoon, Liu Yifei had just returned.
I originally thought that I would face some "strange anger" from Ms. Liu, but this was not the case. Lin Nan found that she was a little languid.
"What's wrong?"
Sitting next to Liu Yifei, he asked softly.
She glanced at Lin Nan, with a trace of sadness on her face, and leaned over.
“In two days, the additional dubbing for “Interstellar” will be over.”
Hearing this, Lin Nan breathed a sigh of relief and thought it was something. It turns out that I have to go back to China alone, and I can’t bear to do it!
"Then accompany me to finish filming this movie and go back together?"
"No, there are still many announcements in March, magazines, advertisements, public welfare films, fashion exhibitions..."
Liu Yifei leaned in Lin Nan's arms, shook her head lightly, and rubbed her head.
“Okay, then you’ll go back first, I’ll be very quick here too.
You can go to the company with Shu Chang to have a look. Lu Yang is auditioning for "Xiu Chun Knife 2" and you are the producer of the first one. "
"Well, okay. ”
Woman, change your face when you say it!
One second she was saying “Okay” in a soft voice, and the next second she changed her tone.
Liu Yifei raised her head and frowned slightly, staring at Lin Nan very seriously, then she opened her teeth slightly and exhaled: "Don't be bad like Leon..."
"I'm not familiar with him, just ordinary friends. Haha..."
"Humph, Tom will report to me!"
...
Domestic, Lin Nan Films.
When the audition actress performed a few tricks under the demonstration of the martial arts instructor, Lu Yang's eyes lit up.
Women in martial arts films do not necessarily have to be beautiful, but they must have good temperament and "martial arts".
He didn’t want to shoot some cutout-style martial arts, or close-up slow-motion stunts that would fool people. It was disgusting.
"Her salary is not high, right?"
Lu Yang picked up his resume and looked at it while asking Yue Jun next to him, "Xin Zhilei..."
Yue Jun He came closer and whispered: "Currently, the third-tier actors are on the upper side, and the second-tier actors are not."
Xin Zhilei, who was on the field, had already handed over the long knife to the staff. She looked at Lu Yang and Yue Jun in front of them, feeling a little nervous.
She knows that Lin Nan Pictures is one of the few fair film and television companies in the industry, and there is nothing messy about it.
It is normal for the protagonists of company films to prefer themselves and acquaintances, but external auditions for supporting roles are basically fair and open.
Her heart beat faster when she thought of a large group of colleagues waiting outside the door.
“The movie will start shooting in mid-April at the latest, and it is planned to be completed in 3 months, but you have to set aside at least 4 months, can you do it?”
Lu Yang's voice sounded suddenly, making Xin Zhilei stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help smiling.
"No problem, Director Lu, I'm very free."
Both Yue Jun and Lu Yang couldn't help laughing when they heard this. "Very free" means that an actor is not popular. !
"Okay. I will notify your agent later and come and sign the contract at that time."
"Thank you, Director Lu, thank you, Director Yue, thank you..."
.........
Here in Hollywood, Lin Nan has finally seen what "Weinstein" happiness is!
In the past, "Buried Alive", "Hunting", "The Invisible Guest"...
Well, there were no more conspicuous female characters in the first two films, and the actress in the latter one It was half recommended and half auditioned, and nothing went wrong.
The main reason may be that he has no Oscar experience before, right?
Therefore, it was not until today's audition for "Manchester by the Sea" that his eyes were opened.
On the first day of the audition, an actress said nakedly and straightforwardly that she could accept the "hidden rules."
Not only that, the other party actually knew that Lin Nan was the one who could make the decision, and the goal was very clear!
Good guy, Lin Nan subconsciously thought that he heard wrongly, but Tom's expression told him that he did not hear the hallucination.
The first one who wanted to take off his clothes was sent away, and the second one...
"Lin, don't be so surprised. This is normal in Hollywood, isn't it? It's absolutely the same over there."
Tom said confidently, with a lewd smile. "But, but, it's not so straightforward?!"
Lin Nan was a little dumbfounded.
At this moment, some names flashed through his mind: Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Jizhong, Gu Changwei...
Immediately, Lin Nan shook his head vigorously: "They and I are different!"
...
Auditions for two consecutive days.
Lin Nan not only saw the "temptation" of Hollywood, but also saw what a "brainless idiot" is - Jennifer Lawrence.
You auditioned just for the audition, but you pretended to be a fake, saying that when the movie needs public relations, you can turn to Weinstein.
I know that he pushed you to be a parallel importer, but it’s a bit disgusting to show off like this.
That's right, after all, she is the actress who "accidentally" fell down on the Oscar red carpet for two consecutive years.
At the Oscars a few days ago, even the host Ellen DeGeneres repeatedly reminded her "don't fall" with her lips.
But this person still decided to steal the spotlight with a single method.
Afterwards, even the winner of the Best Supporting Actor, when interviewed by the media, bluntly felt that she acted on purpose.
Early the next morning, Lin Nan sent Liu Yifei to the airport.
It has been more than half a month since the two flew here at the end of February.
In the car, Liu Yifei rested her head on Lin Nan's arm, urging him to make video calls on time.
"Nolan said that "Interstellar" will be released this year, and he will also bring a team to China to promote it."
"Then we will do our best to be landlords, just like the original "Interstellar" "Inception""
"Okay."
Liu Yifei suddenly sat up straight and asked: "How was the audition?"
"Not very good. After you board the plane in a while, I will go back to Crystal Pictures . I made an appointment with a few acquaintances and asked them to try out the roles."
At this point, Ms. Liu became interested immediately.
“Who?”
"I want Matt to try Leon's brother in the movie. He is a few years older, and then put on makeup..."
"Well, it sounds pretty good!" Liu Yifei said softly. Head down.
While talking, the two cars arrived at the airport.
The assistant stood waiting at a distance, while Liu Yifei leaned in Lin Nan's arms.
The long shawl hair feels smooth to the touch, just like her skin.
"Okay, come in quickly. I still have business to do."
Lin Nan urged with a smile, facing Liu Yifei's displeased eyes, "Are you chasing me?"
"How dare I? Princess Sissi. Finish the job as soon as possible and come back to you early."
"That's pretty much it."
After rolling her eyes at Lin Nan, she smiled, " muma.”
"Okay, you go back. But you must remember..."
"Remember, you won't learn from Leon. He even asked me to go to the show yesterday, and I meant it justly. Rejected."
"Yeah, not bad."
It wasn't until Liu Yifei and the others walked into the airport and disappeared from sight that Lin Nan got in the car and left.
…………
Crystal Pictures.
Leonardo looked at Matt Damon speechlessly, "Why are you here?"
Good guy, this question made Matt Damon want to laugh a little.
"Leon, you seem a little nervous, are you still worried that I will compete with you for the leading role?"
"No, I'm never worried. I'm just curious about the purpose of your visit today. By the way, And Jessica?”
Before Jessica Chastain on the side could speak, a voice came from outside the office door.
"I want her to try to play your ex-wife. Well, the ex-wife in the movie." Lin Nan walked in with a smile.
In Hollywood, Jessica Chastain’s appearance is not very beautiful, it can only be said to be average to above average.
But this is also the advantage of an actress. She can portray a variety of roles and highlight her acting skills.
……
Nearly an hour later, everything was done.
Leonardo, Matt Damon, and Jessica Chastain looked at each other, feeling like they wanted to laugh but were holding back.
"Matt, don't worry.
I will definitely perform this scene with you lying coldly in the hospital morgue, no, seriously Come and act. Haha..."
Matt Damon gave DiCaprio a look of contempt and refused to argue with him.
"Then I'm looking forward to it, brother..."
Lin Nan looked at Jessica, "You two played lovers in the last movie, and you will play the ex-husband and ex-wife in this movie, so there should be a tacit understanding. ."
"I was planning to take a break, but this is your movie. I hope you can give me another trophy, Lin!"
Hear "The trophy. "This word, Leonardo and Matt Damon subconsciously looked at it, what a tempting thing.
Most of the stones in Lin Nan's heart fell to the ground at this moment.
Other supporting characters are really easy to find, and there are a lot of them in the guild.
"After the company's team has communicated about the shooting location in the past two days, we can start work. During the free time of filming, we can also take a vacation." Lin Nan said very relaxedly.
……
After a twelve-hour flight, Ms. Liu landed at the Capital Airport.
Media reporters have been squatting for so many days, so they can be considered as squatting!
The moment they saw Liu Yifei, a large number of media reporters gathered around her. The scene was quite spectacular.
"Yifei..."
