End of Chapter 712
“This morning, the Warner Pictures team arrived in the capital with the crew of "Interstellar".
The internationally renowned director Christopher Nolan and Oscar winner Matthew McCone Na and others made their appearance.”
“Director Lin and Liu Yifei greeted her at the airport. The latter is the heroine of “Interstellar” and is her second collaboration with director Nolan after “Inception.”
……
Entertainment news is overwhelmingly reporting on the crew of "Interstellar", dominating the headlines.
In the past month or so, "The Great Wall" has aroused the appetite of the industry, and "Interstellar" has held a high-profile Asian premiere ceremony and then been released to the public.
Two blockbusters, one a fantasy film costing 150 million US dollars, are just waiting to be launched; the other a space science fiction film produced with a cost of 170 million US dollars, will soon be synchronized around the world.
Actresses in the industry have been frustrated time and time again. They have to rush to the show eagerly to look forward to being seen at premieres and red carpets!
Without disturbing Nolan and his party too much, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei only stayed for more than half an hour before preparing to leave the hotel.
Because the crew just flew for more than ten hours, they must be very tired;
In addition, they have to recuperate for the grand Asian premiere tomorrow, so they are really pressed for time.
"Lin, Crystal, when you hold your wedding next year, you must tell us in advance."
"Haha, of course. Then we will go back first, and you can have a good rest in the afternoon. , see you tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow.”
Liu Yifei smiled and waved to Nolan and the others. After Lin Nan opened the door for her thoughtfully, she immediately got into the passenger seat.
Watching the car disappear from sight, Jessica joked about Matt Damon:
"Matt, I really have you, you can do it without saying a word Another blockbuster movie..."
...
Not long after returning home, Lin Nan received a call from Tom.
This guy obviously drank a little too much, and his tongue was tied when he spoke, but his thoughts were still clear.
The post-production of "Fifty Shades Darker" has been completed, and the company plans to schedule it in the first half of next year.
The other thing is to ask Lin Nan again when he will leave for Hollywood:
"It is not necessary for the public relations to be nominated for the Golden Globe...not to come, but the Oscar must be taken seriously."< br>
Liu Yifei laughed at the audience, hugging the cat and joking: "How much did you drink?"
Lin Nan thought about the issue of time.
According to convention, the Golden Globe Awards will announce the nomination list in early or mid-December, Berlin should be in mid-to-late December, and the Oscars will be announced in January.
Thinking of this, Lin Nan made an arrangement: "Tom?"
"Well, I'm here, not... not drunk."
"Next month, Jin I will come over after the nomination list is announced. If I win, I will work on PR; if I don’t win, I will focus on the Oscars!”
"Huh? Okay, okay, Lin."
"Jenny...No, I'm on the phone with my boss, for a while...a moment..."
Hearing Tom and the boss next to him Lin Nan was muttering in a low voice, and Lin Nan was speechless for a moment. This guy was simply too "embarrassing" and would die in the hands of a woman sooner or later.
Lin Nan hung up the phone without saying a word.
“Hahaha, I’m laughing so hard. Tom is having a great time at the party again.” Liu Yifei couldn’t help laughing and couldn’t stop laughing.
"I can guarantee that if I see him in Hollywood next month, he will definitely be mellower than he was in March. It's all the fat grown at banquets and parties!"
Lin Nan said confidently. There was another sentence "even more false" that he didn't say.
Over the years, during the financial crisis, Tom looked relatively "slim" and "healthy".
Because I’m not in the mood to eat hazelnuts, hang out at drinking parties, and indulge in women! As for other times?
Haha, it is almost impossible to expect him to lose weight for health! Most of his exercise is probably done in bed.
.........
In the afternoon, the news that Wang Zhongjun spent more than 60 million US dollars to buy a famous painting by Van Gogh also came out as his flight back to China arrived in Beijing.
There is a lot of flattery in the circle, and the Internet is talking about Chairman Huayi's wealth.
As expected of the leader of the first listed giant in the film and television industry with a market value exceeding 60 billion, he is rich!
Lin Nan has nothing to say about this. Huayi is indeed at its peak this year, and the general trend of stock prices has been rising. Wang Changtian and Yu Dong can be envious to death!
Beside her, Liu Yifei kept answering calls from Hongxingwu. Many brands were asking about her schedule for attending the red carpet of the premiere tomorrow, but Ms. Liu wanted to keep a low profile and do as she pleased.
"Sissi, I'm going to the company first. If you need anything, call me."
"Well, come back early this afternoon."
Liu Yifei said to her while listening to the phone call Lin Nan nodded and said.
“Got it.”
In the film and television industry, if both companies are satisfied after the first cooperation, then there will be a high probability of a second cooperation opportunity.
The process of Lin Nan Pictures and Noon Sunshine jointly producing "Nirvana in Fire" was like this, and everyone was very satisfied.
Hou Hongliang did say that when they start new projects in the future, they will give priority to Lin Nan Pictures as a partner.
I just didn’t expect that the later stage of "Nirvana in Fire" had just been completed, and they started to prepare for a new project, and they actually came over.
When Lin Nan arrived at the company, Jiang Yuerou was already waiting.
When she attended the finals banquet of "Nirvana in Fire" before, she and Hou Hongliang exchanged phone numbers, so she was the one who contacted them directly this time.
"Director Jiang, what's going on?"
Jiang Yuerou smiled and said, "Director Lin also knows that Noon Sunshine was established not long ago. Although the team is very complete and they are all professionals. , but the funds will not be sufficient.
In addition, "Langya Bang" has not been sold yet, so they can only continue to look for foreign aid. According to producer Hou, they originally wanted to find Shanying. But you know the efficiency of state-owned enterprises, and they don’t give you as much as they need. After all, they have gone out to work alone..."
"So the idea came to us again?"< br>
Lin Nan was also happy, but he admitted that Noon Sunshine's idea was correct.
“What specific project is it?”
“It seems to be a TV series about the Republic of China and a spy war. This is also the key reason why it is difficult for them to find investment. After all, there are so many TV series of this type. There are several classics, and it’s hard to surpass.”
Lin Nan listened carefully. Noon Sunshine, who was born in the regular army, would definitely not make a “magic drama”.
"Then inform them and send someone over to discuss the specific details, and leave it to Director Jiang."
"Okay, then I'll do it. By the way, let them bring the script with them. We still have to take a look." Jiang Yuerou agreed simply.
In a few minutes, Lin Nan was the only one left in the office, and he began to continue checking his script.
When Jiang Yuerou returned to another office, she dialed Hou Hongliang's number and went out.
"Director Jiang? Have you got a reply?"
"Yes, Producer Hou. You can come over with the script, and we will discuss the details of the cooperation and investment share. , and other issues.”
Hearing Jiang Yuerou say this, the other end of the phone was obviously moved, "Okay, no problem. Let's come to the capital the day after tomorrow."
"Oh, that's right, Producer Hou. The name of the script you mentioned before What is it?”
“The Pretender”
…………
The morning of the 10th.
The most popular film and television entertainment information on major portal websites and Weibo is all about the Asian premiere of "Interstellar".
As an imported blockbuster, "Interstellar" has its domestic distribution business handled by China Film.
But the promotion business, that is, this Asian premiere ceremony, is hosted by Warner and undertaken by China Film.
The specifications are very grand. Because the guests and media to be received are not only from the Chinese-speaking community.
In the huge square, dozens of meters of red carpet photos, multiple huge space posters, and individual license plates of actors have appeared online.
More than 200 news media from the mainland, Hong Kong Island, Taiwan Province, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and other places are already in place.
Many stars in the industry are still posting on Weibo, hinting at their schedule today... the Asian premiere of "Interstellar"!
Unlike yesterday when picking up the plane, Liu Yifei needed Lin Nan to wake her up.
Today was the main business at work. She was very conscious and got up earlier than Lin Nan!
In order to fit her role as an astronaut in the movie, Ms. Liu refused to wear a formal dress and chose a dashing women’s suit.
As for the makeup, it must be heavy makeup that fully opens up the aura!
At early eight o'clock, when Lin Nan went to have breakfast next door wearing slippers, three makeup artists and stylists were busy working around Liu Yifei.
"I just slept a little longer, why did I even change my hairstyle?" Lin Nan said subconsciously.
"Director Lin, Yifei's long hair would look nice if she had a little perm and some waves."
The stylist said to Lin Nan with a smile. Liu Yifei wanted to speak but held back because the makeup artist was applying makeup for her.
"Yeah, it looks good."
Of course Lin Nan would not deny this.
Just imagine, Liu Yifei is standing there in a suit, with bright makeup, red lips, and slightly wavy hair. She is indeed sassy and another kind of breathtaking beauty!
Lin Nan ate slowly, not in a hurry. He would not be with Liu Yifei today.
After the latter finished putting on makeup and styling, he had to first meet up with Nolan, Matthew McConaughey and others to walk the red carpet with the crew of "Interstellar".
More than half an hour later, Liu Yifei's makeup was completed.
The lady’s suit, high heels, bright and majestic face, red lips, and long wavy hair shawl, she is simply a charming seductress!
Looking at Lin Nan's dumb look, Liu Yifei smiled proudly, her arrogant attitude came out again, "Director Lin, does it look good?"
"Yeah, it looks good. . ”
“Come back and watch it slowly, I have to leave first”
After speaking, Liu Yifei picked up her handbag and walked to the car at the entrance of the villa, humming a little tune.
Lin Nan smiled and shook his head, also stood up, ready to go back next door to change clothes.
“I’d better find someone to go with me, otherwise it would be so embarrassing to be alone on the red carpet!”
…………
The Asian premiere of “Interstellar”. This kind of large-scale event is always an occasion for celebrities to chase.
Looking at the tens of meters of red carpet on both sides, with guns and cannons, dense cameras, and video cameras, the artists couldn't help but smile.
Further to both sides, there are crowds of fans, fans and onlookers behind the railings, giving people a sense of familiarity with the opening and closing ceremonies of the film festival.
Filmmakers, actors and stars in the industry walked through the red carpet, stopped and wrote their names in front of the eight or nine meter long signature wall with the space footage of "Interstellar" as the background.
La Peikang’s solo appearance on the red carpet represents China Film’s “equal treatment” of imported films.
Wang Zhonglei, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Yang Shoucheng, Zhang Zhao and many other film and television company executives walked between the cameras with their own artists.
Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, Zhou Xun and others, these artists who have been exposed to Hollywood are more and more formal.
As for Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Ning Hao, Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang... Wu Yusen, Xu Ke, Gu Changwei... Han Han and others, whether they are big directors or emerging directors from different fields, everyone is aiming at Nolan is here!
There seem to be a lot of front-line artists: Huang Bo, Tong Dawei, Huang Xiaoming, Tang Wei, Zhao Yanzi... Yang Mi, Yang Ying, Tang Yan...
Foreign companies and artists , especially from South Korea, there are also a lot of people coming, CJ, showbox...
...
"Director Lin, you are so miserable today. You are reduced to walking on the red carpet with us."
Zhu Yawen teased Lin Nan. Luo Jin is also laughing.
“You talk too much, hurry up.”
Lin Nan retorted and led the two of them onto the red carpet.
As expected, the media reporters started joking: "Director Lin, why aren't you with Yifei today?"
"Hey, if it weren't for me and Luo Jin, he would be alone today, haha."
Zhu Yawen shouted something to the reporter, which caused a burst of cheers.
"I'm just a guest, Yifei is the main creator, she must be with the crew, hasn't she arrived yet?"
"Yes, Director Lin. We are all waiting for "Interstellar" "The crew."
The three of them waved as they walked, and the people under the signature wall in the distance also looked back.
"Oh, it's Jing Tian who just got "The Great Wall"." Zhu Yawen said subconsciously.
"Shu Chang is chasing after me." Luo Jin also warned.
Lin Nan's eyes turned from the figure in front to behind him, "Wait for her."
Shu Chang, who was wearing a plain dress and high heels, quickened his pace.
When she walked up to her, she frowned and complained to Lin Nan: "Sissi said she wanted you to take me, but you didn't even shout."
Lin Nan patted her head, feeling a little unreasonable. : "Oh, I really forgot! I just remembered them. Let's go in first, and Sissi will make it up to you later."
After hearing Lin Nan's last words, Shu Chang smiled, " Okay, I’m waiting for a surprise from her on her birthday. Don’t be stingy with the gift.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
Lin Nan replied with a smile, then turned around and signed the wall. There was no one left below.
...
At a glance, there were probably nearly three hundred people in the venue, including many big names.
The four people are definitely not in the same position. On this occasion today, ordinary front-line people can only sit behind the first two rows.
"Director Lin."
"Director Lin."
...
Amidst the greetings, Lin Nan separated from the three people around him.
Shu Chang was okay, he was in the third row; while Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin ran to the fourth row, next to Yang Mi, Ni Nai and others.
Ten minutes later, there was a burst of noise.
Nolan walked in with Matthew McConaughey, Liu Yifei, Jessica Chastain, Matt Damon, and several cast members.
"Your Yifei is getting everyone's attention today!"
Jiang Wen was peeling a small orange while talking to Lin Nan.
That’s right!
Not to mention the complicated looks in the eyes of actresses of the same age group such as Yang Mi and Ni Na, Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing and others in the second row all had a hint of envy in their eyes.
“Yifei, you are so cool today!”
Zhou Xun called Liu Yifei carelessly and received a smile and scissor hands from Miss Liu!
When passing by Lin Nan in the first row, Liu Yifei openly gave him a wink.
This prompted Jiang Wenzhi on the right to joke: "Younger is better." Zhang Yimou on the left also smiled rarely.
The main creators were sitting on the stage, only five meters away from the first row, very close.
The atmosphere on the field was much quieter. After all, those present today were all people with status and status in the industry.
As the CCTV host warmed up, the communication session before the premiere began.
Nolan and several others do not speak Chinese, so there must be necessary translators, and Liu Yifei took over this responsibility.
The movie "Interstellar" is not introduced much, because everyone will see it soon.
On the contrary, it was the directors in the front row who became the main force of communication.
After all, there are really very few major domestic directors who have done well in large-scale commercial films.
Guo Fan came early today, and when he asked questions about science fiction films, he was much more professional than Chen Kaige and others.
At the end of the round, a very funny thing happened in the middle.
When the host asked Nolan, apart from Director Lin Nan, which long-established director in the Chinese film industry he knew better, the directors in the first row subconsciously sat up straighter.
When everyone thought Nolan would answer Chen Kaige, it turned out that Nolan said Zhang Yimou!
At that moment, it became interesting.
Director Zhang was grinning, while Director Chen was expressionless and a little cold. He didn't know what he was thinking. Others are just watching the fun!
But don’t mention it, Nolan actually reported several old films of Zhang Yimou, "Red Sorghum", "Ju Dou"...,
After talking about Zhang Yimou, let’s talk about Chen Da When I was directing, there was only "Farewell My Concubine"!
......
The nearly 3-hour movie made hundreds of people present know what a real science fiction masterpiece is, and it is a space epic different from the original "Inception"!
The silence on the field was enough to show how shocked everyone was.
And Liu Yifei, the only female astronaut, is also extremely eye-catching and eye-catching.
"After this movie, the average domestic film crew will really not be able to afford your Jia Yifei! Except for those big Internet giants."
Jiang Wen smacked his lips and said This sentence came out.
"You can bring money into the group, and you can split the box office accounts..." Lin Nan smiled and gave the solution.
...
When a movie is recognized by everyone, applause is the most direct affirmation.
"This movie will become a classic in the history of film! One hour is seven years; the vicissitudes of life are performed to the extreme." Even Zhang Yimou praised it from the bottom of his heart.
……
The movie is over, and then it’s time for the media.
"Director Nolan, there were rumors that the crew of "Interstellar" chose Liu Yifei to play the heroine because of director Lin Nan. Is that true?"
Good guy, is the first question so sharp?
Many people’s eyes wandered between Nolan, Liu Yifei and Lin Nan, but the three of them were calm.
The artists in the audience were very quiet, no one commented, but many people had mixed feelings in their hearts.
“Are you looking for trouble?”
Jiang Wen muttered. Lin Nan took a look, Hong Kong media!
“It’s not Lin’s fault. Because we have worked together before in “Inception”, Crystal is an excellent and hard-working actor.
Although Lin recommended her to me, But she was chosen because of her own excellence. For this reason, we also changed the script. In the first draft of the script, her character was originally a white person."
After hearing Nolan's answer, many actresses were present. It felt even worse in my heart. Even if she is excellent, it is because of Lin Nan that she can reach your eyes!
Following the interview, Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain, Matt Damon and others had a clear attitude. In addition to promoting the movie, there were also contradictions in their words. Liu Yifei’s praise and recognition.
Seeing Miss Liu smiling on the stage, Lin Nan couldn't help but mutter in her heart, this group of people are giving too much face!
Liu Yifei has already taken the microphone: "I am very lucky to be able to star in "Interstellar". I am very grateful to Director Nolan and Matthew, Jessica and Matt.
Well, there are also The one thing that cannot be missed, Director Lin Nan, thank you for your support.”
The following instantly burst into laughter, and there was someone whistling? Huang Xiaoming, Zhu Yawen... are all conspicuous bags!
…………
As we said at the end of last month, this month’s update will be unstable (the bumps and tumbles in life cannot be avoided or avoided).
In these two days, we will speed up the plot appropriately and enter the prize winning phase as soon as possible.
