Chapter 754 Copyright Transaction, Chinese Chef
The awards ceremony is still going on. The one who won the Silver Bear Award for Best Actress is a love movie, and the actor is already over 60 years old.
Looking at the new actress on stage with tears in her eyes and unable to contain her excitement when speaking, many people felt the same emotion.
"When I get old, I should be like her and continue to love my favorite acting career."
Liu Yifei leaned her upper body against Lin Nan and said softly.
"Sissi, you are thinking very far. I won't accompany you when the time comes."
"You must accompany me and be my director." Liu Yifei said coquettishly and gave Lin Nan a good look. Rolling eyes.
"Oh, that's right. When you get so old, which director is willing to let you be the heroine? It's just me!"
Lin Nan joked with a smile, and Liu Yifei Eyes warning.
“It’s time for the actor!”
Jiang Wen on the side suddenly interrupted Lin Nan and the two of them. The young man really didn't pay attention to the occasion.
A few people subconsciously glanced at Leonardo, only to see him crossing his hands on his lap, frowning slightly, and just staring at the award-winning guests on the stage.
Matt Damon has no hope of winning the Best Actor Award. "Manchester by the Sea" is Leonardo's one-man show, and he, as a supporting actor, has no chance at all.
"Winner of the Silver Bear for Best Actor: Leonardo DiCaprio, "Manchester by the Sea," congratulations!"
"Yeah!"
In an instant, Leonardo shook his fist vigorously, gritted his teeth and shouted excitedly.
Many people at the scene came to watch, because both Lin Nan and Leonardo are well-known filmmakers.
A group of people in China also stared at the crew of "Manchester by the Sea" with bright eyes, and couldn't help but murmur in their hearts: Another Best Actor has been won!
"Lin Nan is really doing something great this time. For one movie, he helped the leading actor win the Golden Globe Award and the Berlin Film Award..."
La Peikang said with a smile, and the person beside him said Ren Zhonglun also nodded in agreement.
Others such as Jackie Chan, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, Zhang Ziyi and others all smiled and applauded Lin Nan.
"Leon, congratulations."
Lin Nan hugged him and sent his blessings.
“Come up quickly, Leon.” Liu Yifei reminded from the side.
Looking at Leonardo walking quickly towards the podium, the stones in everyone's hearts dropped a little. "Manchester by the Sea" won the first place.
"Lin Nan, okay, you're awesome."
Jiang Wen smacked his lips, feeling a little uncomfortable. To be honest, he was still envious.
"Director Lin, congratulations."
Zhou Yun, Ge You, and even the unfamiliar Hong Huang and Shu Qi also sent congratulations.
“Haha, thank you.”
Lin Nan said thank you with a smile on her face, but her heart was beating at the moment.
Not winning the first award means that "Manchester by the Sea" can win any core award, and we can look forward to the Golden Bear.
But when the first award is born, it is really a suspense whether there will be any rewards later.
For subsequent awards, Lin Nan himself directly participated in the competition, and they were all counted as his honors, unlike the Actor Award.
Perhaps sensing Lin Nan's emotions, Liu Yifei tightened his hand and gave him a sweet smile.
"...Thank you, thank you Lin, this is the second Best Actor trophy he gave me, and it is also my second Best Actor Silver Bear Trophy. I think we should be good partners in this life, Good friend.
Lin, Crystal, when you hold your wedding, even if I am on the operating table or in the hospital bed, I will come here, haha... Thanks again, my dear friend, Lin !”
The audience burst into laughter, and Leonardo made a rare joke of his own in public.
Holding the "naive" silver bear trophy tightly and holding the certificate, he came back in high spirits.
What greeted Leonardo, besides applause and smiling faces, was Matt Damon’s resentful eyes.
"Matt, would you like to take a look at my silver bear? It's prettier than that silver lion."
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei couldn't help laughing. Good guy, are you starting to take revenge now? Back then, Matt Damon often showed off the silver lion.
"Winner of the Silver Bear Award for Best Screenplay..."
The sound on the awards stage sounded, and the scene immediately fell into dead silence, staring at it. Including Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, and Jiang Wen.
This award is also within Lin Nan's competition.
"...Patrick Guzman, "Pearl Buttons", congratulations!"
"Huh..."
Taking a deep breath, Lin Nan adjusted his mentality, and there are still three final awards. !
"Lin Nan, we have a chance. You are a direct descendant of Berlin who has won two Silver Bear trophies for Best Director."
Liu Yifei also knows the term "direct descendant" and also Quite encouraging.
"Well, Sissi, let's keep waiting."
Five minutes later, the acceptance speech ended.
"Winner of the Silver Bear for Best Director:
Radu Jude, "Bravo", congratulations! Magozata Shmovczyka, "Body", congratulations !”
The jury members’ voices fell, and the scene suddenly became noisy, and many people looked at Lin Nan.
Best Director - Double Yolk Egg! No Lin Nan!
"Lin Nan, maybe you can really give it a try, don't be in a hurry."
Jiang Wen suddenly spoke. He could understand Lin Nan's mentality at the moment. To be honest, of course he hoped that Lin Nan could succeed.
"With the help of Director Jiang's words, it's really possible. Isn't it coming soon?"
Lin Nan twitched the corners of his mouth and forced a smile.
Rubbing Miss Liu's hand, Lin Nan calmed down her nervous mood. This was the most healing method.
Finally it was time for the last two comprehensive awards, and the chairman of the jury was replaced to present the awards.
"The winner of the Silver Bear of the Jury Grand Prize is: "Priest Club", Pablo Larraín. Congratulations!"
The atmosphere at the award ceremony reached its climax .
Amidst the thunderous applause, many Chinese filmmakers unconsciously looked towards Lin Nan and Jiang Wen.
"Jiang Wen today?" La Peikang had a bad guess in his mind.
"I guess so? If "One Step Away" wins the Golden Bear, it would be a bit unreasonable." Ren Zhonglun responded in a low voice.
"Director Lin, is there still a chance?"
Jackie Chan followed and said, everyone is waiting for the final announcement of the Golden Bear Award.
Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, Xu Jinglei and others knew that the hope of "One Step Away" was too slim. Of the two mainland directors, only Lin Nan was able to give it a try.
"Look, they must have guessed everything in their minds at this time. This time, I am going to go home in a mess, haha."
Jiang Wen laughed at Lin Nan, Lin Da The director no longer had the heart to comfort him, because he was also very worried!
“Thank you to our filmmaker friends from all over the world for attending the Berlin International Film Festival’s award ceremony tonight.
Now, I will award the best film at this Berlin International Film Festival. "Golden Bear Award."
The chairman of the jury picked up the card sent by the ceremony and slowly opened it:
"The 65th Berlin International Film Festival, the Golden Bear Award for Best Film, the winner is: "Manchester by the Sea", LinNan, congratulations!"
A current went down the spine and reached the brain.
Lin Nan suddenly stood up, and Liu Yifei was like a happy fool, holding his neck and jumping lightly.
"It's us, Lin Nan, it's us, hee hee..."
"It's us..."
Lin Nan looked directly at the podium. The chairman of the jury also looked at this side with a smile. Many people stood up and applauded.
Looking back, staring at Liu Yifei's delicate face filled with joy, Lin Nan kissed her hard for one second, two seconds, three seconds...
After a long time, her lips parted. , Miss Liu’s rosy face is even more charming.
"I said, okay? Are you irritating me?"
Jiang Wen sat next to him, applauding, laughing and scolding.
"Lin, we got the Golden Bear."
Jessica, Leonardo, and Matt Damon were all excited.
"I'm going up."
"Yes."
Liu Yifei nodded, still immersed in joy and happiness.
Walking in the aisle, Lin Nan kept waving to La Peikang, Ren Zhonglun, Jackie Chan...Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing and others in the distance.
At this moment, he is very excited! But many people looked at his expression and seemed a bit joking? Lin Nan didn't care either.
On the award podium, Lin Nan lowered his body slightly and took the bright golden bear and the certificate with both hands.
"Lin, congratulations to you. Next, it's up to you."
"Thank you, Mr. Chairman."
Standing in front of the microphone, Lin Nan smiled and waved the golden bear in his hand, sparking another round of applause.
"Thank you Berlin, this is my third time entering the main competition unit. Thank you to my crew members, the golden bear is the result of everyone's joint efforts."
Lin Nan paused and smiled Ying Ying looked at Liu Yifei, who was winking at him. The latter's red lips were slightly parted, as if she was saying something.
“The person I am most grateful to is my fiancée Liu Yifei. She is my most important support. My golden bear is half as good as yours. Well, it will all be yours soon, haha ..."
Laughter and applause resounded throughout the award ceremony.
Lin Nan took Golden Bear with him, walked off the stage, and walked back to his seat.
He stopped for a moment in front of Liu Yifei, and everyone around looked at him curiously. Even Liu Yifei, who stood up to greet him with joy, was a little confused.
"Lin Nan, you?"
In full view of everyone, Lin Nan, who had just received the golden bear, knelt down on one knee amid exclamations of surprise.
“Well, this is much more meaningful than a ring!”
Lin Nan picked up the golden bear and presented it to him. This was what he had just had an idea on the stage.
Well, wit!
“You’d better put on your lipstick first, Director Lin!”
Jiang Wen’s rough voice interrupted Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, who were having fun with each other. It was a burst of laughter.
Liu Yifei quickly took the Golden Bear trophy and glared at Jiang Wen "viciously" when Lin Nan wiped her lips in embarrassment.
"Director Jiang, I know you haven't. Let me show you our Lin Nan's Golden Bear Award. She just got it."
Liu Yifei's words made Jiang Wen choke and freeze instantly. His smile froze there. , it hurts my heart!
This is Lin Nan’s third time competing in the main competition unit of the Berlin International Film Festival, but it is also his first time to solemnly attend the awards dinner.
He held Liu Yifei’s hand and received congratulations from countless people.
Everyone from the country gathered together.
"You're totally in trouble now, how can other directors in the industry survive? Haha..."
"Lin Nan has just established himself this year. Ninety-nine percent of the great directors who are older than him are..." You have to slap yourself a few times!”
“La Dong, Ren Dong, I think you are criticizing me in person?”
Jiang Wen asked in a bad temper, depressed.
"You should worry about what the media will write about you. Let you flip the table in front of your face and scold the reporter..."
"Director Lin, Yifei, congratulations. I'm waiting for your movie invitation, Director Lin." Jackie Chan raised his wine glass and clinked it with Lin Nan.
"Director Lin, congratulations."
"Yifei, come and take a photo, you are very charming tonight." Fan Bingbing invited.
......
During the two-hour awards banquet, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei did not last until the end. They chose to leave midway.
By the time we got back to the hotel, it was already past 11pm Berlin time.
The excitement and joy accumulated at the award ceremony were all released after washing up.
At this time, domestic time is already seven o'clock in the morning.
When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were breathing calmly, hugging each other and falling asleep.
News about the Berlin International Film Festival is like a hurricane passing through, sweeping through the domestic film and television industry, entertainment circle, major portals, Weibo...
"At four o'clock in the morning today, the 65th Berlin International Film Festival came to a successful conclusion. Director Lin Nan won the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor and the Golden Bear Award for Best Film with his film "Manchester by the Sea"!"
"After 19 years, Leonardo DiCaprio once again won the Best Actor Award in Berlin!"
"After ten years in Berlin, Director Lin Nan was officially crowned and became the 7th best actor in the Chinese film industry Director Golden Bear!"
"After Director Zhang Yimou and Director Li An, Director Lin Nan has become the third Golden Lion, Golden Bear, and Double Gold director in the Chinese film industry."
"Hands! Holding the golden bear and kneeling down on one knee, director Lin Nan passionately kissed Liu Yifei at the closing ceremony of the Berlin International Film Festival...with lipstick on her lips, she went on stage to accept the award, which was hilarious..."
"Director Jiang Wen's film "One Step Away", the trip to Berlin failed to produce any results!"
"During the screening of "One Step Away", a large number of filmmakers left the venue... The copyright transaction may not be optimistic. ...Wantfully abusing the media with no sense of self-cultivation..."
"It is reported that Director Lin Nan and Liu Yifei will fly directly to Hollywood to prepare for the Oscars ceremony and will not return to China to celebrate the Lunar New Year..."
......
Lin Nan Pictures, Shanhai Media, Tiangong Color, Shiyue Culture, Happy Twist, and even China Film, Enlight, Wanda and other companies have forwarded the Berlin International Film Festival. Awards results news.
The entire film and television industry was aware of this incident, either actively or passively.
As expected by the film and television industry, in just one hour, above the banner "Welcome freshmen taking art exams to apply for film school" at the gate of the film school, there was a newer, larger and more conspicuous banner:
“Warm congratulations to Director Lin Nan, an outstanding alumnus of the Directing Department of our school and a serving professor of the Film School, for winning the Golden Bear Award for Best Film at this Berlin International Film Festival and becoming a Golden Lion, Golden Bear, and Double Gold Director... ..."
The film and television industry is completely lively, and countless actors and stars have joined the "praising" team.
"Golden Lion Award, Golden Bear Award! Cannes Jury Prize, Silver Bear Director, Golden Globe Director, Golden Horse Director, multiple best screenplay awards!"
"I have nothing to say, Director Lin is so scary! He is the third double-gold-medal director in the Chinese film industry, ranked among the top three in awards, and undoubtedly ranked first at the box office!"
"My thighs have grown a lot thicker again, As a pendant...I am proud of you!"
"Zhu Yawen, stop being a pendant. Luo Jin took your place..."
"Am I the only one who envy Yifei? Guys, he knelt down at the awards ceremony and presented a golden bear!”
“It’s so rare! Brother Xun was romanticized too...”
"My brother is still very good. I'm very happy, um, happy. They are both my thighs!"
"Congratulations to Brother Lin Nan..." "Brother Lin is awesome, we won't go. Golden Rooster! Yi Fei, let me play with that golden bear for two days..."
...
"He really got the golden bear?"
Chen Kaige watched the morning news with a serious expression.
Logically speaking, Lin Nan won the award, which had nothing to do with him, but he still had some indescribable emotions in his heart.
The feeling of being surpassed by a young man in awards made him, who has always been "superior", very uncomfortable.
"Today, if any media reporter... refuses, I am very busy..."
"Well, okay."
Chen Hong responded softly from the side. As a pillow person for many years, she knew him better than Chen Kaige himself.
......
The Film Association is already in a mess.
"Wait until he comes back from Hollywood at the end of February, and then go to the door."
"Can it be done? With his current award achievements, the Golden Rooster is completely dispensable."
"He is dispensable, but we can't. In addition, hasn't Han Sanping already agreed to help lobby?"
"I get angry when talking about Han Sanping. His daughter really has nothing to say. I When I called Han Sanping, she actually hung up on me! "
…………
The Berlin International Film Festival is officially over, but the copyright trading market is not, and it is in full swing. time.
The next morning, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei got up very early.
Director Lin had to work with Tom to contact the film studio and handle the copyright transaction.
And Liu Yifei also had to wait for the brand to come and take away the valuables such as dresses and jewelry.
In addition, the day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, Liu Yifei has to make a call to Liu Xiaoli, and also calls Lao Lintou on behalf of herself and Lin Nan.
"Leon, Matt, Jessica, their flight is at ten o'clock in the morning and has already departed."
Seeing Lin Nan, Tom immediately talked about the other people itinerary.
"I know, they have sent me a message. We will meet again in Hollywood in two days. Tell us about the current situation?"
Lin Nan went straight to the point and asked about the copyright of "Manchester by the Sea" matter.
As a Golden Bear Award-winning film that has won four more Golden Globe Awards and six Oscar nominations, the copyright transaction price will definitely not be low.
What's more, whether it's him, Leonardo, Matt Damon, or Jessica Chastain, they are all very well-known directors and actors, and they can be called a top lineup.
Tom sorted out his thoughts and began to report:
"Lin, a total of 46 film studios made regional bids for "Manchester by the Sea", and we finally screened and left 22 companies.
But because the plot content of this film is too depressing and painful, so in It is difficult to make a breakthrough in terms of price, and you still retain the copyright in the Chinese market..."
Lin Nan knew that film producers would find excuses in this regard to lower the price.
"When they bought the copyright, they didn't just rely on theaters to repay their costs. CDs, video tapes, and Internet charges are the big ones, and they are a steady stream. Are you telling us this? You shouldn't give in, right?"< br>
Lin Nan looked at Tom and asked jokingly.
"Lin, you still understand me. How can I let them succeed? Let's go, all the film companies are waiting for you, the new Golden Bear director. As for the total price? You will see it later."< br>
Following Tom, Lin Nan went all the way to the large conference room of the Hilton Hotel and met the 22 film producers this time.
“Hi, Lin.”
Just entering the conference room door, a foreigner suddenly stood up and waved enthusiastically.
Lin Nan was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
"Alfred?"
As an "old acquaintance" among Lin Nan's film business friends at the International Film Festival, Alfred really impressed him.
Because from the first time we met at the three major film festivals, the other party asked about the price and chatted many times, but they always shook their heads.
It was not until the 2012 Cannes International Film Festival that this situation was gone forever.
In that year, Alfred's company completed the process of "replacing shotgun with cannon".
For the first time, he became one of the buyers of Lin Nan's films, namely "The Genius" and "Passengers".
It seems that he was also among the producers of last year's "The Invisible Guest", but Lin Nan did not attend the signing ceremony.
"It's me, Lin. I haven't congratulated you yet. You won the Golden Bear Award."
"Thank you. It seems that your company is developing very well?"
< br>"Haha, of course. Even your movie is still so expensive!"
The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words and then got down to business.
Dozens of contracts were distributed, and under the witness of the Berlin Film Festival organizers and lawyers, the signing began.
“98.2 million, US dollars!”
When the prices from all the film studios were added up, Lin Nan saw this number that surprised him.
The bonus of awards and creative lineup, and offsetting the disadvantage of the plot being too depressing and painful, this price is very eye-catching!
He remembered that the copyright for "The Invisible Guest" was sold for a total of only 62 million US dollars.
“When I say it’s difficult to make a breakthrough in terms of price, I mean 100 million US dollars...”
Tom came closer to Lin Nan and muttered in a low voice, his tone was quite harsh. !
"Tom, you can get two more points in this year's dividend!"
"Lin, do you mean what you say?" Tom suddenly became excited.
"Well, it works!"
Before noon, the copyright transaction was finally settled.
The figure of US$98.2 million will also be included in this year’s total transaction count by the Berlin International Film Festival, and will be announced on the official website later.
……
The domestic crew, actors and stars are also beginning to prepare for their return journey.
After settling the copyright matter, Lin Nan took Liu Yifei and had a dinner with La Peikang, Ren Zhonglun and others.
“When are you planning to release your movie?”
“I haven’t decided yet. When the time comes, I will go to China Film Group Corporation in person and report to the director?”
After Lin Nan picked up the dishes for Liu Yifei, he complimented her.
"Yeah, that's okay. You can come here anytime and choose at any time. But the box office of this movie probably won't be too high."
"I'm mentally prepared. I don't expect much domestic box office."
"Have you found a distributor?"
"Director Ren, don't think about this. He's already Just give me the light."
La Peikang interrupted Ren Zhonglun, making the latter feel uncomfortable.
On this trip to Berlin, Shanghai Film bought a lot of foreign language films, but again, they were all approved films!
Looking back at China Film, many large foreign companies are contacting La Peikang, and the latter is also introducing split films one by one.
The treatment of the two state-owned giants has been laid out in plain sight these days.
Sometimes there will be fights over the same batch of films, which leads to the two big bosses becoming increasingly difficult to deal with.
"You have made two foreign language films in two consecutive years. What are your plans for the future? Are you still going to continue?"
Ren Zhonglun ignored La Peikang and asked Lin Nan. Shanghai Film Academy, I have been away from this small team for too long!
"Originally, I promised Leonardo to help him prepare for the Oscar. Now that I have won two Best Actors, I have an explanation.
From now on, I will not make any more foreign language films in the short term. There are already movies, and there will be commercial movies this year..."
My mind didn't catch up with what I was talking about, and I was talking about Lin Nan at this moment. By the time he reacted, it was too late!
I saw Ren Zhonglun staring directly at Lin Nan, while La Peikang had a prepared expression.
Liu Yifei knew this very well. She lowered her head while eating, and gently kicked Lin Nan with her feet under the table.
"There is a plan for a commercial film, well, it's just a plan at the moment."
"The relationship is good, Shanghai Film has a lot of money recently, you can ask at any time. We haven't cooperated for a long time, the previous time was just pure confusion "Ren Zhonglun said to himself, with a smile and a sincere expression.
He didn't care at all about the darkened La Peikang beside him, he just wanted to "pry" him back to the corner where he had "accidentally" pushed him out.
"Director Ren is really good at following the rules, as if Lin Nan lacks investment? China Film, Wanda, and Enlight are all long-term partners and can provide all resources!"
La Peikang mentioned the names of the three companies very strongly, with ridicule in his words.
“It’s still early for the movie, it’s early.”
Lin Nan quickly changed the subject, only blaming himself for his quick words. Now, I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome.
......
Jackie Chan, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, and Jiang Wen and his party all boarded the flight back home on the afternoon of the 16th.
Before boarding the plane, they all said hello to Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, and agreed to meet again in China in the next year. I also wish Lin Nan and Liu Yifei another successful Oscar trip!
I have to say that Zhang Ziyi is still the same Zhang Ziyi.
Although their family made a big joke during this trip to Berlin, she recovered very quickly.
For the sake of face, as long as you are not embarrassed and don’t laugh at any jokes, it will be the same as nothing at all!
Before leaving, she "encountered" Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, and said with a smile that they would meet in Hollywood in a few days. It was as if nothing had happened, which was impressive.
On the morning of the 17th, the day after the Berlin International Film Festival, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, along with eight assistants, bodyguards, and Tom, a total of 18 people, officially boarded the flight back to Hollywood.
At this time, there is only one day left before the Lunar New Year's Eve in China.
The news that could not be concealed was finally exposed in advance.
A piece of news attracted the attention of the entire film and television entertainment industry.
“Mango Channel released news:
The large-scale national defense education special program "Real Man", exclusively launched by Mango TV, the People's Liberation Army and Bayi Factory, has entered a closed recording stage, and the recording location is the army.
Celebrity guests in the first season include: Zhang Fengyi, Guo Xiaodong, Wang Baoqiang, Yuan Hong, Du Haitao and Ou Hao. "
"It is self-evident that the guests leaving the team in the second season of "Running Man", Wang Baoqiang gave up "Running Man" and chose "Real Man"! "
" "Running Man" is a popular reality show variety show in China. Wang Baoqiang's move is really puzzling. ”
“Many industry insiders have revealed that Wang Baoqiang is very likely to offend Lin Nan Film Group and the director because of this...”
…
Light.
Wang Changtian was extremely happy when he saw the online entertainment information.
For him, it is a good thing that Wang Baoqiang left "Running Man"!
While preparing for "Embarrassed in Hong Kong", he strongly recommended Bao Bei'er to Xu Zheng to replace Wang Baoqiang.
What about the current second season of "Running Man"? It's totally possible to do the same thing.
In his eyes, there is absolutely no problem for Bao Beier to completely replace Wang Baoqiang!
"How about it? What's the reply from Yue Jun? There should be no replacement permanent guests yet, right?"
Wang Changtian asked the secretary who just came in, who was the one who was attracted by him. Sent to inquire about this matter.
"Director Wang, Director Yue said that Lin Nan Pictures has its own arrangements, which will be officially announced at the investment conference at the end of the month. Now, it must be kept secret. Moreover, we are not in the second season yet. What about the co-producer? ”
Hearing this, Wang Changtian's brows frowned subconsciously, and then relaxed again.
"As expected of Lin Nan Pictures, he is the butler of Lin Nan Pictures. He is very confident! He speaks harder than Lin Nan! No wonder he doesn't have any shares, but he can get dividends."
"Director Wang, What should we do now? "
The secretary couldn't help but ask. When she came back just now, Bao Bei'er was asking her for news.
"Forget it, Lin Nan and I will talk in person. Oh, come to think of it, the time difference is a bit big! Then wait until he comes back and I will talk to him."
Wang Changtian was quite confident in himself. He felt that he could convince Lin Nan.
‘You go down first. ’
“Okay, Director Wang.”
…………
Los Angeles is 9 hours behind Berlin.
When the flight, which lasted more than six hours, landed at Los Angeles Airport, the date was still the 17th, and it was seven o'clock in the morning.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei walked among the crowd with their fingers clasped together, very eye-catching.
"Lin Nan, this is our first time celebrating the New Year in Hollywood. I want to eat Chinese food, but I don’t want to order a Chinese restaurant."
Liu Yifei wore sunglasses and a beanie hat, rocking Lin Nan said with a bit of coquettishness while holding her hand.
“Haha, you want to give me orders again?”
Lin Nan replied angrily, but with a doting smile on his face.
"Well, you'd better be wiser. Our dad said you have to cook for me!" Liu Yifei proudly moved out of Laolintou.
Lin Nan smiled speechlessly and nodded: "Okay, I'll satisfy you.
At this time in China, it should be almost midnight on the 18th. It's only twenty years until New Year's Eve. About an hour..."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Nan looked at Tom next to him.
"Tom."
"Huh? What's the matter, Lin?"
"Go and buy ingredients for me, flour, vegetables, meat...forget it, I'll give you a list later."< br>
"You want to cook? Do you know how to cook?" Tom's eyes widened.
"Yes, Tom. Let me tell you a secret, Lin Nan is a Chinese chef!" Liu Yifei said proudly, with a smile on her face.
"Can I come together..."
"No!"
Lin Nan decisively refused. This guy actually wants to have a New Year's Eve dinner? There is no way!
