Chapter 951 Zhou Xingchi’s sequel commitment; Liu Yifei returns to Beijing
I don’t know since when, those celebrities who have opened studios especially like to “show off” themselves on Weibo and in their circles of friends. Year-end bonuses given to employees.
Of course, those who can show off are without exception the first-line actors and stars in the industry who are relatively generous and bold.
No, the entertainment headlines this morning were that Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying gave away two million-dollar luxury cars as well as many luxury watches, jewelry and cash red envelopes to the people in their respective teams.
Well, there is also the must-have Qingdao prawns packed in boxes. This is also one of the must-have gifts for Leader Huang every time he gives a gift.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei have received it many times, especially during the Chinese New Year. They can't finish it if they don't eat it once.
Every time they saw boxes of prawns, seafood or red wine being delivered, the two of them couldn't help but sigh:
"Master Huang really knows how to be human and worldly to the extreme. The main theme is perseverance! ”
It’s approaching noon and the stars are shining brightly.
The guest invitation from the Oscars ceremony was delivered to Jing Tian.
This was issued by Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures, and was specially prepared for the Chinese creative members of the "Great Wall" crew.
"You are the heroine, so naturally you are indispensable. However, the entire "Great Wall" crew only has three invitations from China." Lu Zheng said proudly.
Jing Tian held the invitation letter lightly with her fair fingers stained with red. She raised her head and asked speculatively: "Three letters? Then the other two letters should be from Director Zhang and Brother Hua?"
"Well, it's Director Zhang Yimou and Liu Dehua. Others don't have that weight, right? Besides, the number of places that can be squeezed out is also very limited.
Tiantian, your dress can be prepared in advance. , it must be of the highest quality. I will contact you later and pick it up later..."
Having said this, Lu Zheng paused again, his eyes seeming to drift away:
"I guess China Film and LeTV should also have received the news, but I don't know if they will officially announce this? This is a It’s quite a publicity stunt.
Although there are not many people in China who can be invited to attend the Oscars, there are a few;
But there are absolutely no people who can be invited in the name of the movie. A few. This year and even next year’s Oscars, “The Great Wall” will be special!”
Lu Zheng’s tone was a little more exciting, because according to the release plan of “The Great Wall”, it will be released during the Lunar New Year;< br>
Even if it cannot be released simultaneously around the world, it will definitely hit the North American film market before next year's Oscars;
Therefore, invitations to next year's Oscars are definitely not a problem.
Jing Tian's dark eyes were watery and shining, filled with longing and expectation for a moment.
China Film.
For La Peikang, this is undoubtedly good news that after a long drought, there will be good rain.
A Sino-US co-production with an investment of US$150 million, this A-level masterpiece was invited to the Oscars red carpet, and then faced the global media lens, expanding the scope of promotion to the international...
Is this considered a political achievement? What's the new addition? Of course! Because it's called "The Great Wall"!
“Go say hello to LeTV and send out a joint announcement.”
La Peikang ordered his secretary in a good mood, and the latter immediately nodded in response.
"By the way, let's also contact director Zhang Yimou and ask him to reserve a schedule and lead the team to set off. Well, try not to miss anyone."
"Okay, La Dong."
Looking at the secretary who hurried out, La Peikang still couldn't hide the smile on his face, ""The Great Wall", "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk"... It will be this year. "
...
"The Sino-US co-production "The Great Wall", jointly produced by China Film, Universal Pictures, Legendary Pictures, and LeTV Pictures, has been confirmed to be invited to attend. The red carpet and awards dinner of the 88th Academy Awards...Director Zhang Yimou, Jing Tian, and Liu Dehua will represent the Chinese creative staff..."
In the afternoon, the front page headlines of the film and television entertainment sector and WeChat The top searches on the blog suddenly turned into information related to "The Great Wall".
For this co-production, which has attracted the attention and covetousness of the entire domestic film and television entertainment industry from the very beginning;
Many big-name actors in the industry are still a little heartbroken and regretful even now.
Because these people are all insiders who failed in the competition and did not get this top cake resource.
When they see the news now, they will naturally be "emotionally moved". After all, even a fake Oscar invitation last year was hyped up by Huang Shengyi;
Not to mention the real Oscar red carpet and award dinner invitation in front of you, how could it not make people envious and bitter?
Lin Nan was quite speechless. There were not many serious tasks to deal with in the past two days, but there were a lot of miscellaneous little things that couldn't be pushed away, which was very annoying.
In the afternoon, he had to participate in a promotional event for "Mermaid" again, and it was the kind of one that involved playing in a ring.
Because in another large conference hall of China World Trade Center, there is the press conference of "Macau Storm 3".
China Star and Bona are the main producers of "Macau 3", and the Xiang family and his son are also one of the main actors in this movie.
When the "Mermaid" auditions were held, the fat lady swayed half of Hong Kong to target Stephen Chow, which naturally affected the movie auditions as well.
What is this if not an opponent? From movies to reality, both sides are enemies, mortal enemies!
“Tsk, tsk, we are talking about charity next door. The girl from the Xiang family said that they have donated a lot of money to the mainland over the years, and the ‘Fa Ge’ is talking about how he will donate naked after his death. What's going on?"
Lin Nan thought Ning Hao had fallen into the bathroom, but he didn't expect that he was listening at the next door for a while.
"Donate? Donate, yes, but have you noticed that every high-profile donation made by the couple does not change the public's impression at all?"
"Hey, you Not to mention, it is indeed like this. Those two people always give people a sense of utilitarianism and purpose, and no one buys it." Ning Hao was happy and nodded in agreement.
"Let's talk about the person who wants to 'donate naked'. I remember he was talking about it many years ago, right? Is it true that he only donates naked after the person is dead and gets nothing while he is alive?"
Lin Nan complained. Ning Hao's eyes widened as he laughed:
"Good guy, I wouldn't have noticed it unless you told me. I really haven't heard of him plucking hair for charity?!"
"It's all just routines and characters. In comparison, I still admire Jackie Chan more. He has promised to donate naked before, and he has been donating to charity.
But what happened the year before last year After what happened to Prince Long, he publicly changed his tune and said that he wanted to leave some wealth for his son.
But look, did anyone scold him after he changed his tune? Almost nothing! Because he is magnanimous and has been using his actions to prove that he is a charitable person! "
After Lin Nan finished speaking, he ignored Ning Hao's expression of affirmation and recognition. He looked at the stage - Zhou Xingchi seemed to be making a promise too?!
"If the box office of "Mermaid" can reach more than 2 billion, I will consider a sequel plan; if the box office can be higher, then I guarantee that there will be a sequel, and I will still direct it..."
Everyone knows that Zhou Xingchi's film output is low, but this is the first time that he has publicly promised to make a sequel.
After hearing this, all the media reporters at the scene immediately became restless and excited. < br>
"Sequel? It's really rare." Ning Hao sighed.
"It's quite rare." Lin Nan responded meaningfully.
At the end of the afternoon, there was one more popular movie search on the Internet:
""Macau 3", "Mermaid", "Three Strikes of Bones" and many other Spring Festival commercials Blockbusters are aiming for 2 billion each, who can get what they want and come out on top..."
...
When he woke up in the morning, the temperature outside was minus two or three degrees Celsius, which made Lin Nan couldn't help but shiver. Coupled with the extremely dry air... he had to take good protection, otherwise his skin would definitely suffer.
Although he is a director and does not rely on his reputation to make a living, he was the first to go to the acting department, so he can't really ruin his image. After "borrowing" some moisturizing and skin care products from Liu Yifei's dressing table, Director Lin went out with confidence.
There is only half a month left before New Year's Eve. Not only has the number of people at Capital Airport increased dramatically, but the number of entertainment paparazzi and celebrities has also doubled several times.
When Lin Nan drove to the airport, there was a congestion at the exit.
There is a large group of young...fans, right? They were surrounded by celebrities and celebrities who didn't know where they were coming from, making sharp noises and shouts.
The large number of paparazzi couldn't squeeze in, so they could only take blind photos with their cameras high.
Through the car window, Lin Nan stared for a long time. It was not until the uniformed traffic police came to disperse the crowd that he could see clearly.
Unfortunately, the person Guan Hao praised not long ago is still accompanied by his mother.
In the past hour, six celebrity artists have left the airport, and they are all first- and second-tier celebrities. It is indeed the end of the year with many announcements.
At around 10:30, when Lin Nan glanced towards the exit, it was as if he had a premonition. It was neither a minute earlier nor a minute later.
The figure walked out of the passage at the right time and came into view, exactly the same as in the photo sent.
Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh, because Liu Yifei really dressed like a rural girl.
The dark red down jacket is obviously old and a little long, and there are long boots under the jeans, which does not show off her height and long legs;
The hat that comes with the down jacket is worn by her Fastened to the top of his head, the white mask covered most of his face. The most important thing is that she is not wearing sunglasses and is carrying a suitcase that is not too new.
Now the paparazzi have ruled out even the possibility that she is a celebrity in disguise.
This is undoubtedly a student girl who is too cold, doesn’t know how to dress up, and goes to work in the city or goes home on vacation!
Lin Nan did not get out of the car, because after Miss Liu locked the target, she walked over by herself.
It wasn’t until she got closer that Director Lin got out of the car with a smile on his face.
“Still laughing?”
Liu Yifei rolled her eyes angrily, and Lin Nan hugged her into his arms.
She also changed her color immediately and hugged her with a smile, "I'm finally back, hehe."
"Huh? Sissi, you've been eating well at home for more than half a month. Well, why do I feel like my butt is growing again?”
“No, absolutely not, I’m just wearing an extra piece of clothing...”
Miss Liu. Pushing Lin Nan away, she glared at him "viciously". After taking off the mask, her appearance became more delicate and a little cold.
Well, it’s true that I’m not plump anymore, and I won’t be able to do it for more than ten days.
At this moment, the paparazzi in the distance also noticed a special situation. Two big fish were missed!
"Hurry up and put your luggage in the car, we are chasing you over there."
"Okay."
Lin Nan picked up the suitcase and stuffed it into the back seat. Within ten seconds, the two of them got into the driver's seat and the passenger's seat, closed the door, and ran away quickly.
A group of entertainment reporters rushed to nothing, and could only watch helplessly as the rear of the car gradually disappeared from the end of the field of vision, and sighed helplessly.
……
“In the morning, Liu Yifei returned to Beijing alone with her suitcase, without an assistant following her the whole time; Director Lin Nan picked up the plane, and the two hugged each other intimately…”
"Liu Yifei is plainly dressed at the airport, free and easy, without any celebrity airs. She is worthy of reference and learning by many artists in the industry."
In less than half an hour, news and photos of the airport were uploaded in the circle and online It's open.
So many acquaintances have called or sent messages to ridicule Liu Yifei, saying that entertainment reporters bully the weak and fear the strong. They wear ugly clothes, but they choose angles to report good-looking reports. They are despised.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei did not go home, but went directly to the private restaurant; it was almost noon, so of course they needed to eat.
However, Shu Chang, who was just trying to make ends meet, arrived at his destination earlier than the two of them. To put it bluntly, since you are late for airport pick-up, you will be embarrassed to be late for dinner!
Faced with a table full of dishes, the two women chatted happily while eating. After all, they hadn’t seen each other for more than a month.
But Lin Nan was a little impatient, because serious calls always came in at inappropriate times.
"Come over in the afternoon. The rough budget has been released. Let's see how the shares are divided."
Wang Changtian is really a busy man. He probably has lunch in the office.
"Yeah, I got it. I'll hang up if there's nothing else to do. I'm eating."
"Okay."
Seeing Lin Nan hang up After calling, Liu Yifei curiously asked: "What other movies does Ray want us to do together?"
"Well, it's a literary comedy-romance film, "Passing Through Your World". It's a different story from the same novel as Alibaba Pictures' "The Ferryman"."
Obviously , Miss Liu was not interested in this, and neither was Shu Chang, because neither of them asked further questions.
"Sissi, if we stay at home for another ten days, we have to leave. On the 2nd of next month."
While Lin Nan picked up the chopsticks, he also changed the topic. . Liu Yifei wrinkled her nose, smiled shyly, and nodded.
"Hey~~ This is the first time that I follow my husband back to my hometown after becoming a new wife." Shu Chang joked while holding the dishes.
"Eat your food, this won't stop you." Director Lin didn't need to say anything, and Miss Liu had already started to "fix" her best friend.
However, after all the fuss, Shu Chang felt a little wilted: "The elders in the family got divorced some time ago, so I don't have to worry about finding resources for her anymore."
This sentence is the same. When they exited, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei immediately understood that Shu Chang was talking about Song Zuer.
"Just take care of yourself. The most we can do is take care of you." Lin Nan said to himself, and Shu Chang understood.
“I remember I saw information about a movie yesterday. It’s called “Troubleshooting in Los Angeles.” It seems to be released in mid-March?”
Liu Yifei looked at Shu Chang and asked. The heroine of this drama seems to be Song Zuer.
“Well, a few days ago, they asked me to help with publicity. My uncle didn’t let me know that he was a stranger now, so he didn’t need to sacrifice his favor to help... He even called me to have a fight. , please don’t disturb me in the future..."
Well, the helpless Shu Chang many years ago is back again. Lin Nan said nothing, leaving it to Liu Yifei.
