Chapter 968 Defending the title; movie invitations to Leonardo and Matt Damon!
Hollywood time, the morning of the 28th.
The assistants and bodyguards came over early in the morning, and even had breakfast together in the villa.
Tom was walking in the yard, wearing a custom-made large high-end suit. The person chatting and laughing with him was Lu Zheng.
“If you want me to say that if an actor wants to be truly successful, resources are indeed very important, but resources are only one of the means; you still have to be strong enough, so that you can control and utilize the resources to the greatest extent. To achieve yourself.”
Tom felt that he could chat with Lu Zheng very well, and immediately gave him sincere suggestions. This is his experience as the president of Crystal Pictures and a major Hollywood producer.
In Hollywood, there are no exceptions for popular female stars. Even those who star in superhero movies, their acting skills are unquestionable. A vase can never truly become an international star, even Scarlett Johansson is a big star on stage!
"Well, that's the truth. But there is still a long way to go, and the competition in this industry is too fierce; the day-to-day competition for resources is inevitable, otherwise no one can guarantee that they will not be eliminated, and time will not wait. People."
How come Lu Zheng doesn't know this truth over the past few years, but Jing Tian's progress is too slow. Currently, he can't make a living from the acting school, and can only rely on resources and fans to survive. Got the coffee spot!
Tom also understood what Lu Zheng meant. This was indeed a big road.
But it is very difficult for an actress from a bad background to take this path, because she has to pay a lot of hidden things, such as the minimum physical sacrifice. This is an iron rule in Hollywood;
But family There is absolutely no problem with good actresses. For example, Jing Tian can be raised with a big cake and good resources until she grows up and matures.
"Well, don't worry, the Chinese-language film market is getting stronger and stronger, and Hollywood is coveting it. There will be many opportunities for Jing...Tian..."
Tom nodded and said , isn’t that what the person next to me wants to express?
"Okay, thank you very much, Tom. I'll give you some domestic wolfberry later. It's good for people who often go out to cocktail parties and parties at night... It's also good to make some medicinal wine..."< br>
When Tom heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. He absolutely believed in Chinese medicine!
At 10:30 in the morning, when the makeup artist, stylist team and brand people arrived in Beverly Hills, Tom happily entered the villa.
At the same time, Lu Zheng also received a call and rushed back to the Hilton Hotel. Jing Tian was also about to start makeup.
"Director Lin, the people from the movie channel are with the crew of "The Great Wall" right now. I would like to ask if we can come over and sit down for a while."
Liu Yifei is sitting in front of the dressing mirror with the stylist and The makeup artist was about to start working; and the assistant immediately reported to Lin Nan after hanging up the phone.
"We didn't bring the movie to compete for Oscars or promote it this time. Forget it, please call back and explain that it's not good to occupy public resources."
Leaning on the sofa, Lin Nan waved his hand. In contrast, "The Great Wall" needs more coverage from movie channels!
"Lin Nan, you have to eat something at noon or you won't be able to hold on." Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan in the mirror and said aggrievedly.
“Understood, I’ll try to order something that’s easy to eat. After all, it’s inconvenient to eat with makeup on. Besides, who told you to get up so late in the morning that you don’t have time to have breakfast.”
Lin Nan laughed and complained. Liu Yifei immediately glared at her in the mirror. In front of so many people, why didn't she save face? !
"Okay, let's eat dumplings."
"Well, the dumplings are good, I'll go buy them. Just the Chinese restaurant you reviewed very well last time..."
Hear Tom also became interested in the conversation between Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, so he immediately took over the matter and walked out the door in a flash.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei couldn't help laughing. Tom is a gourmet, no, a foodie, and he likes Chinese food very much.
Time passes by, and the Oscars ceremony is getting closer and closer. The small town of Hollywood is becoming more and more lively, with media reporters and tourists everywhere.
Leonardo, Matt Damon, and Jessica received calls one after another at noon, and they made appointments to meet on the red carpet and at the award ceremony dinner;
Because they all knew that Lin Lin would be there tomorrow. Nan and Liu Yifei have something to do and will return to China the day after tomorrow.
Lin Nan also plans to meet Matt and Leon tonight, just to say hello in advance for something to come.
Afternoon time, here at the Hilton Hotel.
Jing Tian, like Liu Yifei, is still doing makeup. The makeup of an actress before such a large-scale event cannot be completed in two or three hours.
Liu Dehua was already ready and was talking to Zhang Zhao, who was also in a neat suit.
If you listen carefully to the conversation, you will know that Zhang Zhao is "revealing" LeTV Pictures' next move intentionally or unintentionally, trying to impress Liu De until he joins.
"...Although LeTV Pictures gave up on IPO, it does not mean that we gave up on listing. In the first half of the year..."
Liu Dehua just smiled and agreed, and did not Any clear statement.
On the other side, Zhang Yimou was wearing a Chinese tunic suit and talking on the phone with Gong Li.
He has been to the Oscars three times before because he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film three times, and two of them were for collaboration with Gong Li. Now that they are reunited at the Oscars, the feeling that things are different and people are different is very heavy, after all, they are older.
"Everyone I meet wants to make an idea! If a company really has potential, would they pull people in like this? Will the hyenas in the capital market let it go?
Which other company How about a quasi-listed company with great potential whose shareholders are all celebrities in the film and television industry? Even if it is a film and television company, this will not happen!
Every day, it is still too easy to make money in this industry, fools. Too many..."
In Jingtian's dressing room, Lu Zheng sat next to him, frowning and saying with disdain.
"Uncle Lu, what do you mean?" Jing Tian asked curiously.
"Tiantian, don't ask anything, just pretend you don't know.
When you become independent in the future, whenever you meet those film and television companies that are financing, they will ask you for investment. Anyone who wants to be a shareholder should refuse, because there is no pie in the sky!
With your current status, it’s more than enough to open your own studio. You can’t make enough money, so don’t be greedy. It's nothing good!"
"Oh, I understand." Jing Tian could only nod slightly, because the makeup artist was busy.
.........
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Yifei, wearing a pink tube top and floor-length skirt with petals, walked out of the cloakroom wearing pink crystal high heels.
The two assistants were supposed to support him, but they were completely useless.
I saw Liu Yifei's long, glossy black hair pulled up high and bound behind her head by a finely crafted jade hairpin as deep green as the abyss.
On the slender and white neck is a pure natural pink diamond necklace. The pink diamond is not small. The earrings are equally sparkling and belong to the same set as the necklace.
The value of this set is more than 100 million yuan.
Among domestic actresses, there are few with fairer skin than Liu Yifei; and today, wearing pink, she looked even more delicate, which made Lin Nan stunned.
While Lin Nan was in a daze, Liu Yifei had already walked up to him with a smile, stretched out the catkins and waved them in front of him: "Hey, wake up, it's time to go."
"Well "Don't make trouble."
Lin Nan grabbed Liu Yifei's hand. On her wrist was a bracelet studded with various gemstones and diamonds, which was as eye-catching as a flower fairy.
"Let's go."
"Yeah, by the way, my handbag." Liu Yifei looked at the assistant, who quickly handed it over.
Tom led the way, and four Mercedes-Benz S-Classes slowly drove out of Beverly Hills.
......
It is still the Dolby Theater. Lin Nan and Liu Yifei have been here for three consecutive years.
On the red carpet, the crew of "The Revenant" appeared, and cheers continued.
As the most popular actor, Leonardo, who is also the most popular to defend the actor, waved his hands excitedly;
If you look carefully, you will find that his left wrist is actually tied with a red rope , it’s really a bit metaphysical.
Kate Winslet, dressed in black with gold patterns, is obviously more "haggard" than last year. European and American actresses just can't stand the time.
Cate Blanchett looks a lot younger in a light green daffodil dress. The key is temperament...
When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei entered the waiting area, they saw Zhang Yimou and others at a glance;
Jing Tian, who was wearing a dark blue sequined tube top dress, was equally eye-catching and had a good figure.
"Sister Yifei, Brother Lin." "Director Lin, Yifei."
"Lin Nan, Yifei."
"Director Zhang, it's early for you."
Lin Nan held Liu Yifei's hand, and the two walked over with a smile.
But in just a moment, Lin Nan was drowned out by the greetings from Hollywood. This is the status of a major international director.
Compared with Zhang Yimou, although Lin Nan does not have a second Golden Bear Award, he has an Oscar and a Golden Globe. Here, these two have an overwhelming advantage!
In less than half an hour, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei walked on the red carpet first. Lin Nan bowed slightly and held up the hem of Liu Yifei's skirt.
...
For this year’s Oscars, there will be no video live broadcast in China, only graphic live broadcast. After all, Lin Nan didn’t compete for the award this year.
Speaking of this matter, the movie channel has something to say.
Just because Lin Nan competed for the prize twice, they bought the live broadcast rights twice, and the result was - a bloody profit!
Hollywood time, when the awards ceremony started at around nine o'clock in the evening, it was 12 noon in China, and the Internet was very busy.
"I'm jumping over the wall, it's a good card. Let me predict: the best actor will definitely belong to DiCaprio!"
"I agree, Director Lin, the presenter, may not necessarily present the Best Director Award, but may also be the Best Actor. Award? If that’s true, it would be very topical.”
“Good guy, Liu Yifei is as white as a porcelain doll, and she’s as white as the healthy ones, even whiter than the white actresses next to her. Here!”
……
Hua Yi and Wang Zhongjun were also watching the live broadcast of the Oscars. The "Great Wall" project is really eye-catching.
"Brother?" Wang Zhonglei shouted.
"After two o'clock, let the Oscar news come first. It should be very lively online and in the industry... How is tomorrow's press conference?"
"From various media The invitations have been sent out, and everyone said they would not be absent, but they are still very curious about the content of our press conference and are asking; after all, it is rare in the industry to send invitations to press conferences but keep the content of the press conference secret for the time being. "
"Wouldn't they be able to guess it in a few hours?"
......
Lin Nan was invited backstage at the Oscars. Li An was also there, and he was also the award presenter.
After a brief greeting, the two of them were waiting.
A few minutes later, I heard a voice coming from the front:
"Now here are the presenters...the two-time Oscar winner for Best Director..."
"Lin Nan, I’ll go over first and see you at the dinner.”
"Okay, Director Li." Lin Nan nodded.
Ten minutes later, when Lin Nan walked onto the stage of the award ceremony with the card, the scene was obviously agitated.
Lin Nan saw Liu Yifei, Liu Dehua and Jing Tian who were waving to him, as well as Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain...Ryan Reynolds...
And Leonardo, who was shaking his legs nervously. For him, it seemed that he was half a step away from defending his title, because it was Lin Nan who presented the award.
Lin Nan adjusted the microphone upwards and then opened the card.
Hey, sure enough!
He leaned closer to the microphone and spoke in English:
"Winner of the 88th Academy Award for Best Actor: Leonardo DiCaprio, "The Revenant", congratulations !”
As soon as the words fell, the scene exploded.
Lin Nan smiled and looked at the audience, where Leonardo was hugging the crew members excitedly.
Good guys, Kate Winslet doesn’t seem to be on the set of “The Revenant”, right? Why is "Shredded Roux" hugging her and wiping her tears again?
Leonardo stepped onto the stage, and Lin Nan handed the trophy to him: "Congratulations on defending your title, Leon."
Leonardo took the thing with both hands and directly Hug up: "Thank you, Lin."
The next moment, Leonardo was seen approaching the microphone and looking at Liu Yifei in the audience: "Crystal, can I kiss him?"< br>
Fuck me! Lin Nan was dumbfounded, what is this?
The scene was filled with laughter. Liu Yifei shook her head vigorously with an unstoppable smile on her face.
"I refuse, I refuse..." Lin Nan was also shouting.
"I'm just joking with you, Lin. I only like young girls, haha..."
Fuck you! Lin Nan had a smile on his face, but he was already scolding Leonardo in his heart.
DiCaprio gave an emotional acceptance speech. He defended his title, he was satisfied, and he was about to lose it!
...
During the dinner, Lin Nan was holding a wine glass and chatting with a group of acquaintances.
Jing Tian just came over to take a photo with Leonardo, including the Academy Award trophy; now she is following Liu Yifei, talking to Gong Li.
"Leon, Matt, can I discuss something with you?"
"Huh? It's rare to hear Lin Youqiu ask for help from us, I'm very interested." Matt Damon Said with a smile.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Leonardo was in an extremely good mood, and he had already planned to take a vacation.
“I don’t know when it will be, I will make a movie. I hope one or two of you can come to help me make a guest appearance or play a supporting role. How? Like?”
Hearing Lin Nan say this, Leonardo and Matt Damon immediately laughed.
After a while, Matt Damon spoke first:
“If someone asks me to play a supporting role, I will definitely consider it carefully and I must read the script first.< br>
When Nolan asked me to play a supporting role in "Interstellar", I read the script first;
But since it was Lin who invited me, it's absolutely no problem. I can agree to it now. I'm always waiting. On your phone! "
"What I want to say, this guy Matt has already said it, and he stole my words! "
Leonardo smiled and raised his glass, drank it down in one gulp, his attitude was clear.
Lin Nan was also very happy to hear the two people's commitment: "Thank you both. Come, have a drink? ”
"cheers!"
"cheers!"
