Chapter 757 The era of "little fresh meat" and "traffic stars" is here
In the morning, Lin Nan received Li An in the villa in Beverly Hills.
The latter just returned to Hollywood from China yesterday afternoon and is preparing to attend the Oscar Awards ceremony the day after tomorrow.
"Did Director Li go to China Film Academy when he returned to China this time?"
Lin Nan walked to the sofa with two cups of coffee and placed one cup on the coffee table in front of Li An.
"Well, after I spent New Year's Eve in Taiwan Province, I went to the mainland on the Spring Festival day, met with La Dong and had a meal."
Li An took a sip of coffee and nodded.
"Can the investment funds for the film be approved?"
"On the eighth day of the lunar month, China Film will have a dedicated person to handle this matter. The US$24 million will be disbursed in one go to "Beijing" "Lee Lynn" film project.
Director Lin, I came here specifically to thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't know if I would still be worried about funding right now. ”
Li An's smile and tone were very sincere, but the more sincere they were, the more "panic" Lin Nan felt in her heart!
He originally wanted to ask Li An to cheat listed companies such as Huayi, Bona, and LeTV.
But who would have thought that this would be the final result?
Not only did China Film take the initiative to jump into the pit, but it also used its "privileges" to threaten its competitor, Shanghai Film Group, to get the project!
"Director Li, there is no need to be polite anymore. Didn't you treat me to dinner once?"
Lin Nan picked up the coffee and concealed his "speechlessness" and "embarrassment".
"Those are just small things, nothing compared to the big help you helped me. By the way, where is Yifei?"
Li An looked around the huge villa living room and asked .
"Yifei was called out by Jessica Chastain. There is a jewelry show in Hollywood today."
Hearing this, Li An nodded and talked about what he had brought with him on this trip. The "gift" that came:
"My movie "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" still has a female lead. If you agree, you can give it to Yifei. Just change the setting, change it to the adopted daughter of the male protagonist's parents, and the protagonist's Sister...just like in "Interstellar", didn't Director Nolan change it like this?"
"No, please don't," Lin Nan interrupted hurriedly.
"Huh? Why?" Li An was a little confused.
"Yifei and I will return to China as soon as possible after attending the Oscars. The company is going to launch a new movie in the first half of the year, and she will be my producer, so there is no schedule."
Lin Nan immediately found a reason to deal with Li An.
The latter was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
There are many husband and wife teams in the film industry. One is a director and the other is a producer. This is very common and not unusual.
"That's such a pity. Back then..."
"Director Li, don't forget it. It's not like you don't know how much negative impact your movie had. "
Lin Nan said angrily, even the title changed. The other party originally had Liu Yifei's idea, but Liu Xiaoli and him sternly rejected it.
Li An smiled awkwardly, "It's okay if you have other actresses to recommend."
"Oh, this cake is a bit interesting." Lin Nan muttered in his heart.
However, after the thoughts in his mind went through the lightning, he still shook his head: "Forget it, I will not get involved in Director Li's movie."
"Since you If you don’t think so, then let’s do it. I will start it at the beginning of April at the latest. If you change your mind before the end of March, you can tell me.”
“Yes, okay”
Lin Nan nodded in agreement, he would not speak. Shanhai Media only has two actresses who are completely unqualified and don’t even speak English well.
As for those people who are close to Zhou Xun... this movie is not a good one.
After chatting about Oscar for more than half an hour, Lin Nan sent Li An out of Beverly Hills and made an appointment to meet him the day after tomorrow.
......
The Internet is full of news about Huang Shengyi, and he seems to be about to "return to the top".
All the popular young actresses of the same age in the mainland film and television industry remained silent.
But everyone is paying attention to Huang Shengyi's trip to Hollywood, paying attention to Tom Hanks, and paying attention to the "Big Bang" that is still uncertain and has no official announcement!
"Was she really that popular before?"
On the crew of "Why Shengxiaomo", Yang Ying asked a ridiculous question.
The main reason is that Huang Shengyi's "fall" and her rapid development after officially entering the mainland happened to be staggered in time, and there was no intersection between the two.
It can even be said that Yang Ying also took advantage of some of the resources left behind by Huang Shengyi after his "fall".
"Back then, she was the most popular 'star girl', what do you think? Just ask Mimi about this."
Huang Xiaoming smiled and gestured to Yang next to him honey.
He knew very well that in the two years after "Kung Fu", Huang Shengyi became much more popular than him. And his career really became popular with the movie "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Yang Mi showed a helpless smile, nodded, and said to Yang Ying:
"When she was at her most popular, I was still a little boy, haha...
Think about it, she played White Snake, and Li Lianjie was nominally her co-star. Someone even more powerful than this, There is only one person in the circle."
"Who?" Yang Ying asked subconsciously.
"Yifei." Huang Xiaoming couldn't help but say. "This is something I can't envy." Yang Mi smiled helplessly.
In her opinion, compared to Liu Yifei, Huang Shengyi simply followed the wrong person and was "brainwashed" by Yang.
Before going to court with Zhou Xingchi, Huang Shengyi had very good resources, including movies and TV series!
"So, she is coming back soon? That Sino-US co-production blockbuster "The Big Bang" that is rumored in the circle? It is similar to "The Thirteen Beauties"..."
Yang Shadow frowned. The same goes for Yang Mi next to her.
“Who can say it right now? We’ll know after the Oscars red carpet, right?”
There was a sense of confidence in Huang Xiaoming's tone. He had the confidence and strength to ensure that Yang Ying's road ahead would be smooth sailing!
......
It was released for 12 days, with a box office of 280 million, and the daily box office reached zero, so it was released accordingly.
When "There's a Place Only We Know", a small-budget love movie featuring Wu Yifan who "carries the box office", achieved such outstanding box office results, the capital was extremely excited!
A "little fresh meat" with no acting skills can make the movie huge profits by relying on the fan market - this means that "making a star" is so easy! It also means "movies", just got easier!
When Lin Nan saw that the domestic media dubbed Wu Yifan the "new generation of film and television superstar", he was really disgusted.
Especially when Feng Xiaogang shouted the slogan "With the support of Wu Yifan and Li Yifeng, "Old Paoer" is bound to break the 1.5 billion box office", he became even more nauseated.
These people really have no moral integrity!
This situation also heralds the arrival of a trend: the era of "little fresh meat" and "traffic stars" is here, and they are about to officially take the stage!
……
Liu Yifei and Jessica Chastain took a trip out and did not choose to spend money.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to, but it’s because she has a contract; or she can only buy it and wear it in private, but not in public.
"I saw Sister Gong Li today and said hello. She will also attend the Oscar red carpet in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, as well as the awards ceremony and dinner in the evening."
Ms. Liu is in a good mood , squeezed next to Lin Nan and used him as a pillow.
"I know. Zhang Ziyi and the others are also here. Oh, by the way, the white lady who came from heaven and earth also came yesterday. But it's ironic that the Hollywood media didn't report this news at all. It’s the domestic media that is publishing the press release!”
Lin Nan made a joke, but Liu Yifei rolled her eyes: "Don't say that again, she is a woman over there after all."
"You don't know what announcement Juli Pictures made , and Huang Shengyi is looking forward to seeing me win the Oscar at the Dolby Theater..." Lin Nan complained.
Although Yang Zi and Huang Shengyi have faced doubts from the outside world, they have always firmly denied the fact that they are married. But within the industry, it’s an open secret.
Lin Nan came to Lin Nan because of his enthusiasm. It’s strange that he has a good temper.
But since Miss Liu has spoken, so be it. "Okay, I'll listen to you. This is the first time I've said this."
Lin Nan held Liu Yifei's waist and nodded with a smile.
Miss Liu has always been kind-hearted, and ignoring her is her greatest indifference. Having been hurt by gossip, she always avoids hurting others.
Time has finally arrived on the 21st. There's just over a day left until the Oscars red carpet.
Leonardo also rushed back to Hollywood from the set of "The Revenant" at early ten in the morning.
After making an appointment in advance, Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Matt Damon, and Jessica Chastain made a special reservation at a restaurant to welcome Leonardo.
This is also a "morale boost" for the crew of "Manchester by the Sea" before the last awards ceremony after experiencing the Golden Globes and Berlin.
“I remember before the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, we shouted the slogan ‘Six out of six’, and finally won four awards. In Berlin, there were only two. Today, otherwise Do it again?”
Leonardo, who looked stronger, raised his glass in a rare move and joked.
Everyone can see that he longs for that little golden man so much.
He won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor. At the Berlin Film Festival, he won the Best Actor. All it takes is the Oscars tomorrow night!
"Then come."
Lin Nan smiled and raised the cup. Then there was Liu Yifei with the same smile on her face.
Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain both filled their glasses with red wine, which represented determination.
“cheers, I hope to win at least 4 awards like the Golden Globe!”
“cheers, I want the Oscar for Best Actress! Last time I was beaten by that bitch Jennifer Lawrence Someone robbed me!”
"Oh, the wish for the Best Supporting Actor Award should not be too much!"
"Wish us a great victory tomorrow!"
"Cheers! Huh? But, I am "Interstellar" "From the crew?"
Liu Yifei suddenly realized that it was different from the time at the Golden Globe Awards. She had to follow Nolan and the others.
"Crystal, you are so miserable. You are the heroine and you must follow her. Unlike me and Matt, who are just supporting actors and have not been nominated yet, you don't have to pass. Haha..."
