Chapter 758 Stolen? script?
"It's really, really ridiculous."
In the afternoon, a piece of entertainment gossip spread in Hollywood.
To be precise, it spread among the domestic media circle who came to attend the Oscars ceremony and a small number of Chinese-speaking filmmakers.
This news content made everyone dumbfounded and felt that it was ridiculous.
Huang Shengyi and the Juli Pictures team issued a bilingual press release in Chinese and English and accepted an interview with Sina's Hollywood reporter.
They cried aggrievedly, saying that at one or two o'clock this morning, the villa where the group lived was stolen.
Among the stolen items, the most valuable was a large suitcase.
It contains the dress prepared for Huang Shengyi to wear when attending the Hollywood Independent Film Festival and the Academy Awards ceremony.
These dresses are all high-end dresses provided by brand sponsors and are of great value.
"Is this kind of thing just for fun? Do they think everyone is a fool?!"
Lin Nan was basking in the warm sunshine of the afternoon, watching the entertainment gossip, and couldn't help but think again He cursed.
"It's a bit...unbelievable."
Liu Yifei was lying on the beach chair next to Lin Nan, wearing sunglasses, biting a straw in her mouth, and drinking juice.
She was also a little confused and surprised.
"This is Hollywood, and they rent a top-notch villa area! Is the security system a decoration? Or maybe a group of people drank too much and fell asleep to death?"
Lin Nan mocked and shook his head.
"Huh?"
Miss Liu pulled her sunglasses up the bridge of her nose and looked at Director Lin with a cute expression, her eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.
"Lin Nan, what do you mean?"
As she spoke, she had already taken the tablet Lin Nan handed her.
“Look at the domestic entertainment information at the moment, it has already dominated the headlines of major portal websites and hot searches on Weibo.
I estimate that the popularity of this news can at least maintain Throughout the Spring Festival."
Lin Nan's tone was slightly mocking. After hearing this, Liu Yifei looked through the information on Weibo.
At this time, domestic time happened to be morning, and the Internet was already in an uproar.
"What about those lackeys who say that public security abroad is good? This is called good security? It was stolen at night!"
"...The security in wealthy areas, high-end residential areas and top villa areas is indeed very good! Even There are police patrols..."
"I just want to ask, if the dress is stolen, how can I go on the red carpet naked?"
"Don't bother, you are too old. Actresses should just accept their fate. God will not agree with those who cannot return to their first-tier positions because they are not worthy of their virtues."
"As long as everything is fine..."
"Huang Shengyi, hold on!"
"I just want to say that I deserved to be stolen, and I have no works or influence, so why should I go and embarrass myself?"
......
< br>"Then what to do next? Saint Clothes, did you call the police?"
"Will it affect the red carpet and award ceremony? If I send the dress again, I wonder if it will be too late? Where is Mr. Yang?"< br>
"It is really not easy for domestic actors to be invited to participate in the Oscars. As an insider, I support Shengyi and Juli, come on..."
...
Liu Yifei will be on the tablet He gave it back to Lin Nan, picked up the juice again, and couldn't help but laugh and said: "Juli, it's quite... funny?" The deputy will fight to the end with the 'evil forces' and will never admit defeat. It's exactly the same as when he was bullied by the light."
Lin Nan also found it funny that this guy Yang Zai actually used the video method. , in response to the incident of Huang Shengyi’s gown being stolen:
"...Thanks to many friends, netizens and fans in the circle for their concern. Huang Shengyi's team called the police immediately after the incident, and Juli also contacted the brand sponsor as soon as possible to coordinate new dresses .
Several sets of new dresses have been chartered and are on their way to Los Angeles... It will not delay Huang Shengyi's attendance at the Hollywood Independent Film Festival and the Oscars red carpet and awards ceremony to be held on the 22nd, Los Angeles time. Ceremony..."
Lin Nan glanced at the gossip information that was still being refreshed for the last time, and then turned off the tablet with a smile.
"Sissi, let's clean up. Didn't you ask me to accompany you to the fashion show in the evening? You can prepare in advance. The assistant will be here soon."
"Well, OK.”
…………
The Oscars are about to reveal the answer.
When it comes to influence and popularity, it is not inferior to the three major European film festivals.
Almost the entire domestic film industry is paying attention to Lin Nan, even more so than the Berlin International Film Festival a week ago.
Because so far, no mainland film director has won the core Oscar awards, namely Best Foreign Language Film, Best Director, and Best Picture.
Publicly and privately, officials hope that Lin Nan can achieve a breakthrough based on last year's Best Original Screenplay Award.
As for the industry? It must be a mixed bag. I hope Lin Nan wins some awards, and I hope he gets nothing, and more!
"Will the movie channel still broadcast live tomorrow morning?"
"Yes, they have already arrived in Hollywood. I just don't know if it will be like the Golden Globe Awards before the red carpet. Went to visit Director Lin’s home.”
The secretary answered La Peikang’s question.
During the Spring Festival, there are almost no employees at China Film Corporation who take a long vacation. After all, there are too many things in the film and television industry, and there are many meetings to attend. Leaders, in particular, are even busier.
La Peikang nodded and said nothing.
An hour ago, after the film bureau meeting ended, he was kept for a while because of Lin Nan's matter.
The people in the association can't handle it, and they're a bit broken.
They just gave up and "complained" to the superiors years ago, making it seem as if Lin Nan had bullied them.
So much so that today, the first meeting after the new year, Tong Gang left him behind.
After a while, La Peikang smiled disdainfully.
“Let’s contact Director Han to see if he has time to return to China Film Group in the next two days. I have to talk to him.”
“Okay, Director La.”
La Peikang was helpless. Originally it was only the association's task, but now it has become China Film's.
Just as the secretary was about to go out, he was suddenly called again.
"Forget it. Director Han has retired, let him spend the Spring Festival at home. I told him on the phone, the same thing."
The huge office of the chairman of China Film Group There was only one person left, La Peikang.
At this moment, Han Sanping is "teaching" Han Jianu a lesson. Because the latter was going to leave on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year to find some materials.
“After the Lantern Festival, I won’t stop you.”
"I don't want to have to look at you at home for a few more days... Hey, don't get angry. I have a phone."
Han Sanping glanced at the caller ID on his phone, his expression instantly became much more serious, and he glared. After kissing her daughter, she walked into the yard.
Ten seconds later, the call was connected.
"Dr. La, don't tell me that you called me to pay New Year's greetings? Haha..."
"Dr. Han, happy Spring Festival. I have business to do. I had a meeting in the morning. Before We just want Lin Nan to participate in the Golden Rooster. Today, it becomes a task..."
Hearing this, Han Sanping was stunned and instantly understood Paikang's mood.
“He usually has a good temper and is easy to talk to, but sometimes he can be very tough, just like this problem;
Although my method is a last resort, it is effective. We have 30% Share, you can sign up on behalf of the crew... In addition, China Film has the right to ignore some rules... When the rice is cooked, I will compensate him afterwards. He should..."
"Director Han, I I'm not going to use your method. You were too tough when you were in charge, so you came up with such tough methods. If you do this, I'll probably have to say goodbye to Lin Nan in the future. I'm going to wait for him to come back. After that, have a good talk with him..."
La Peikang interrupted Han Sanping. The biggest difference between him and the old leader was his handling style. Han Sanping is vigorous and resolute, too fierce and domineering in everything he does, while he is much more restrained, just the opposite. He felt that Lin Nan should be able to take soft food, but he would never take hard food!
There was an eerie silence on both ends of the phone for a moment.
Finally Han Sanping sighed, "Then, do it your way first. If it still doesn't work..."
After a few minutes, he hung up the phone.
Looking at the phone screen, Han Sanping's expression was a little solemn, but he smiled again the next second: "I actually feel a lot more relaxed?"
"Old Han, you are too Isn’t that cruel? He’s too much like a villain... It almost affects my relationship with Senior Brother Lin. I’m planning to ask him to film my movie script in the future.”
Han Jianu, who had been eavesdropping for a long time, complained about her biological father without paying any attention to Han Sanping's look of "cleaning up the family".
…………
The Hollywood night is more brightly lit than ever before, as if it has entered the moment of the Oscar Awards Ceremony.
At the fashion show, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were not happy. They received a lot of overtures from people, all actors and celebrities.
No matter whether two people know each other or not, the other party will always recognize them and say hello and introduce themselves.
"Director Lin, Yi Fei, happy New Year. I didn't expect to meet you again tonight."
When Zhang Ziyi came over with Wang Feng to say hello, he asked Lin Nan and Lin Nan who were about to leave midway. Liu Yifei was really surprised.
"Happy New Year. But we are going back, so I won't disturb you to continue watching the exhibition."
Lin Nan responded quickly and said naturally.
"Yes, Director Lin and Yifei are important members of the red carpet and award ceremony tomorrow, so they need to rest in advance."
"Goodbye."
Liu Yifei smiled and waved, and walked toward the exit with Lin Nan's fingers intertwined.
Looking at the two people walking away, Zhang Ziyi said pointedly:
"Director Lin is the biggest director in the industry. Directors Zhang and Chen are You are not young anymore... From now on, everyone will put a lot of thought into Director Lin."
Zhang Ziyi is very clear that the current and future development trends of the domestic film industry are very clear, especially. In the area of big directors and capital.
And the "everyone" in her mouth refers to big flowers like them.
But if we break it down, it seems that the only big flowers that have a good relationship with Lin Nan Pictures and have collaborated with them several times are Zhou Xun and Fan Bingbing. Without her!
…………
One night passed, and the time finally came to the 22nd.
The entire small town of Hollywood has completely entered a state of boiling and restlessness.
Since 6:30 in the morning, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's mobile phones have received calls from time to time, all of which are business matters.
The two of them also got up very early to prepare for today's trip.
At seven o'clock, Tom personally brought breakfast over and seemed extremely attentive.
And he also gave himself extra food and had breakfast with Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.
“I set the alarm clock specifically to deliver food to you. Lin, it’s up to you today. Try to win the Best Director Award or the Best Picture Award. This way the company will be more influential and more Making money.”
Tom never strayed from his true feelings, and he was just like a stingy and stingy fat man!
"Tom, it's not as easy as you think, and you still set a goal for Lin Nan!" Liu Yifei took a sip of milk and complained with a smile.
“Crystal, I’m here to cheer him up, come on. How do you say that idiom? Well, now that I think about it, maybe what I said became a ‘prophecy’?”
< br>"Get out of here, uncle! If you don't know how to use idioms, don't use them." Lin Nan swallowed the bun in his mouth and cursed angrily. Tom, this guy, specializes in derogatory words!
Liu Yifei was choked and coughed, pointing at Tom, "You, are you going to laugh me to death? Haha..."
Tom looked at Lin Nan and Lin Nan in confusion, "I said the wrong thing ?”
“I only use that word in your mouth when something bad is said.”
Lin Nan glared at Tom and explained. This guy is very easy to learn, but he always only learns halfway.
"Huh? Then, just pretend I didn't say anything." Tom smiled awkwardly, confused.
Different from the last Golden Globe Awards, Liu Yifei started her makeup in the afternoon, so she just had to finish it before four o'clock.
Today, she had to start putting on makeup and styling in the morning. Because after she was done, she had to meet up with the crew of "Interstellar" and head to the Oscars red carpet together.
“When will the team arrive?”
“Assistants, bodyguards, makeup artists, stylists, and several brands will come around 10 o’clock.”
When it came to business, Tom suddenly became more serious and looked at Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.
Lin Nan glanced at the watch in his hand:
"It's already half past seven. Sissi, after breakfast, you should take the time to rest for a while. Today will be more tiring than the Golden Globe Awards." "
"Yes, I am prepared." Liu Yifei nodded confidently.
The three of them ate slowly and quickly finished their breakfast. Then Tom left the villa to meet the brand's people.
……
Near nine o'clock, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, who were sitting on the sofa recuperating, were "disturbed" by a sudden phone call.
“Hey, I don’t even know what to say? Are you addicted?”
Looking at the incoming call reminder, Lin Nan smiled silently.
“Who is it?”
“Movie channel.”
Hearing this, Ms. Liu obviously understood: "Are we going to record behind-the-scenes again? But we haven't started yet."
At this time, Lin Nan had already answered the phone, "Hello?"
"Director Lin, Happy New Year, I'm here to disturb you again.
...Can we come over and visit the class this morning? You know, the industry is paying attention to your Oscar this time... "
Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan with a smile on her face with a joking expression of "staying out of it" and "it's none of my business".
Director Lin Da was speechless and said directly to the other end of the phone:
"Today Yifei and the crew of "Manchester by the Sea" will be separated, and she will be with the crew of "Interstellar". Leonardo and I After meeting, we won’t stay in the villa for too long, so.”
After hearing this answer, the people at the movie channel were a little confused about how to deal with it. They were here just for makeup time.
The last live broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards was very good. Liu Yifei was doing makeup there, and Lin Nan and others were chatting nearby. The ratings were particularly high!
“Can you do an interview with Director Lin before the red carpet? As you know, you are the first mainland director to compete for the Academy Award for two consecutive years.”
"Then... then you can come over at two o'clock in the afternoon. We will set off at about four o'clock. I will leave you an hour in the middle, which should be enough, right?"
"That's enough, that's enough..."
There was obvious excitement on the other end of the phone. You still have to find your own people!
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan spread his hands helplessly:
“I actually wanted to refuse, because it affected your makeup a little bit last time. But they actually changed their words and asked for an interview! However, Fortunately, by the time they arrive, you will probably have joined the "Interstellar" crew."
"It doesn't have much impact, it's just that most of the shots are taking pictures of me, hehe..."
Liu Yifei is very arrogant, and her smile is full of confidence.
At ten o'clock, the makeup artist, stylist, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's assistants, bodyguards and others rushed over on time.
Tom also arrived in Beverly Hills with people from several brands, suitcases, and safes.
Liu Yifei’s makeup has officially begun.
......
In China, the media’s preparations are even earlier than the last Golden Globe Awards.
Although it is early in the morning, special reports on the Oscars have already been included in the popular entertainment information on major portal websites and Weibo.
In addition, there are also media people on the night shift who are constantly updating and releasing relevant information from Hollywood.
"Less than six hours until the red carpet of the 87th Academy Awards..."
"Director Lin Nan brings the film "Manchester by the Sea" to compete for six Oscar awards; the award ceremony will officially begin at around 11 a.m. domestic time!"
"In this Oscar awards ceremony, Liu Yifei will accompany " The crew of "Interstellar" walked on the red carpet without Director Lin Nan..."
...
Lin Nan leaned on the sofa and yawned, and occasionally glanced at the people in front of the dressing mirror. Liu Yifei is surrounded by famous makeup artists and stylists.
The two of them just made eye contact through the dressing mirror, which was quite fun.
"Lin, Leon is here."
"So early?"
Lin Nan exclaimed. It's only 12 o'clock now! For the previous Golden Globe Awards and last year's Oscars, Leonardo and others only came here at one or two o'clock in the afternoon!
In just two minutes, Leonardo, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with a slicked back hair and high energy, came in with his assistant.
Looking at it like this, I’m afraid you’ve been so excited that you haven’t slept much since last night, right?
"Leon, sit down."
"Lin, will Crystal go to Nolan's side soon?" Leonardo asked, sitting next to Lin Nan.
"Well, Tom will bring someone to follow her."
As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, a text message from the crew of "Interstellar" was sent, asking Liu Yifei to rush there Meet around two o'clock.
“How long?”
"Director Lin, it will take about half an hour to forty minutes. Yifei's hair is still a little bit in shape, so the ends of her hair must be styled."
"Well, there is enough time, and I can also eat something to cushion my hair. Pad your belly."
As he spoke, Lin Nan picked up the candy on the table and walked over, feeding it to Liu Yifei's playful eyes. The makeup artist and stylist looked on with smiles.
……
Today is really rare.
Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain also came early, looking eager and excited.
But what is surprising is that Jessica is not wearing a dress today, but a pink women's casual suit. But don’t tell me, it looks really eye-catching.
“OMG! Is Crystal going to leave? I just arrived!”
“Well, Director Nolan is urging me, so I have to leave early. And today’s Hollywood is very busy. "It's blocked."
Liu Yifei held up her skirt and said with a smile, then looked at Lin Nan.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the car."
Lin Nan took Liu Yifei's hand, helped her hold her handbag, and walked out of the villa gate surrounded by several assistants and bodyguards.
Tom followed closely; Leonardo and others also followed.
"Lin Nan, see you on the red carpet. If I can't see you on the red carpet, then I'll see you in the evening."
I wanted to kiss you, but I remembered the embarrassment at the Berlin Film Festival Awards Ceremony , Lin Nan endured it again. His actions made Liu Yifei laugh.
"Okay, see you in the evening. Leon, Matt, and Jessica will see you in the evening."
"See you in the evening, Crystal."
......
Three cars , and just drove out of Beverly Hills.
Half an hour after Liu Yifei left, the people from the movie channel came over on time.
Not seeing Miss Liu, the Sixth Princess was still a little disappointed.
However, seeing all the cast members of "Manchester by the Sea" here, the group of people instantly became excited again. This is the main goal of this trip.
"Director Lin, can we start?"
"Yes."
Leonardo, Jessica Chastain, Matt Damon The three of them sat on the sofa and watched Lin Nan's interview with interest.
"Director Lin, how confident are you about tonight's awards ceremony?"
"Not very sure. This is Hollywood, this is the Oscars. Thousands of judges vote, it's difficult to control. Unless It’s some special themes. For example, that’s right!”
Lin Nan made a joke, and the host, lighting, photography and other staff couldn’t help but laugh.
"If, I mean if."
"Well, you say it. I can accept if."
Lin Nan smiled and nodded. He didn't have as much airs as Director Chen and couldn't hear any "bad" sounds. So much so that Liu Yan still has a psychological shadow to this day.
"If you don't get the award you want this time, or simply come away empty-handed. Will it affect your mentality? Will you come again?"
Lin Nan frowned. Head:
“I have already achieved the best results at the Golden Globe Awards and the Berlin International Film Festival. Even if I don’t win an Oscar, I can still accept it. At most, I will not be in a good mood for a period of time. Well, it’s just a bit regretful.
As for what’s next? I have plans before, and I won’t be competing for awards in the short term. This is much more tiring than making a commercial film, and it takes a lot of energy. Will make a commercial film”
After hearing Lin Nan's last words, the people at the movie channel suddenly became excited. This is first-hand news, there is no rumor at all!
Facing reporters who asked for details about the movie, Lin Nan decisively chose to shake his head and stop.
Nearly an hour later, the interview ended successfully.
While the movie channel team was packing up the equipment, a call came in, to the team leader.
Lin Nan and the others only saw his expression, ranging from disbelief to doubt, shock to disbelief, and finally some incoherence. Their eyes were wide open the whole time!
Two minutes later, the leader of the movie channel hung up the phone. Looking at Lin Nan's curious look, he couldn't help laughing and said:
"Director Lin, this is really a wonder in the world. Guess what?"
“What’s wrong?”
“As the red carpet of the Oscars ceremony was about to begin, word spread in the media circle on our trip:
It was said that Huang Shengyi had just Fainted in the dressing room and fell unconscious. He was rushed to the hospital
Just say, isn't it funny to be slippery? No movie script would dare to write this! "
Lin Nan was also stunned. Is this just based on the script?
Ten minutes later, the people from the movie channel left.
Lin Nan was Then he looked at Leonardo and the others, "Leon? "
"What's the matter, Lin? ”
"Do you know if Tom Hanks attended the Oscars today?"
"No!"
Matt Damon spoke first before Leonardo could answer. .
