That year Huayu

Chapter 968 Defending the title; movie invitations to Leonardo and Matt Damon!

Hollywood time, morning of the 28th.

The assistants and bodyguards came over early in the morning, and even had breakfast together in the villa.

Tom was wearing a custom-made large high-end suit and was walking in the yard. The person chatting and laughing with him was Lu Zheng.

"I would 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 maximum 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!

"Yes, that's the truth. But there is still a long way to go, and the competition in this industry is too fierce; the struggle for resources is inevitable, otherwise no one can guarantee that they will not be eliminated, and time waits for no one."

Over the past few years, Lu Zheng doesn't know this truth, but Jing Tian's progress is too slow. Currently, he can't make a living as an actor. He can only rely on resources and fans to maintain his status!

Tom also understood what Lu Zheng meant. This was indeed a broad road.

But it’s 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 actresses with good families have no problem at all. 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. Hollywood is coveting it. There will be many opportunities for Jing...tian..."

Tom nodded and said, isn't this what the person next to him 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..."

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 about to start makeup.

"Director Lin, someone from the movie channel is with the crew of "The Great Wall" right now, asking if they can come over and sit down for a while?"

Liu Yifei was sitting in front of the dressing mirror. The stylist and makeup artist were about to start working. The assistant immediately reported to Lin Nan after hanging up the phone.

"This time we did not bring the film to compete for Oscars or promote it. Forget it. Please call back and explain. It is 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, otherwise you won't be able to hold on." Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan in the mirror and said aggrievedly.

"Understood, I'm going to order something that's easy to put in your mouth. After all, it's not convenient 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 in the mirror immediately glared at her. 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..."

After hearing the conversation between Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, Tom also became interested. 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.

As time passes, the Oscars get 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 arranged to meet on the red carpet and at the award ceremony dinner;

Because they all know that Lin Nan and Liu Yifei have something to do tomorrow and will return to China the day after tomorrow.

Lin Nan also planned to meet Matt and Leon tonight, just to say hello in advance for something to come.

In the afternoon, here at the Hilton Hotel.

Jing Tian, ​​like Liu Yifei, is still undergoing 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 without making any clear statement.

Zhang Yimou on the other side was wearing a Mao 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 we are reunited at the Oscars, the feeling that things are different and people are different is very heavy, after all, we are older.

"I want to take advantage of everyone I meet! If a company is really promising, would they recruit people like this? Would the hyenas in the capital market let it go?

Which quasi-listed company with great potential has shareholders who are all celebrities in the film and television industry? Even if it is a film and television company, this situation will not happen!

Day after day, this industry is still too easy to make money, and there are too many fools..."

In Jing Tian's dressing room, Lu Zheng sat next to her, frowning and disdainful.

"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, if you meet those film and television companies that are looking for financing and looking for you to invest and become a shareholder, reject them all, because there is no such thing as a free lunch!

With your current status, it is more than enough to open your own studio. You can make endless money. Don't be greedy. If you are greedy, nothing good will happen!"

"Oh, I know." 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 petal-shaped floor-length dress, walked out of the cloakroom wearing pink crystal high heels.

The two assistants were supposed to help her, but they were completely useless.

Liu Yifei's long black and shiny hair was tied up high, tied behind her head by a finely carved deep green jade hairpin.

On her slender and white neck was a natural pink diamond necklace, and the pink diamond was not small. The earrings were also shining, and they belonged to the same set as the necklace.

And the value of this set is more than 100 million yuan.

Among domestic female stars, there are few with fairer skin than Liu Yifei; and today's pink dress made her look even more delicate, and Lin Nan was stunned.

While Lin Nan was in a trance, Liu Yifei had already walked up to him with a smile, stretched out her hand and swayed in front of him: "Hey, wake up, it's time to go."

"Well, stop it."

Lin Nan grabbed Liu Yifei's hand, and on her wrist was a bracelet inlaid with various gems and broken diamonds, as eye-catching as a flower fairy.

"Let's go."

"Yeah, yes, my handbag." Liu Yifei looked at the assistant, who quickly handed it over.

Tom led the way, and four Mercedes-Benz S-Class slowly drove out of Beverly Hills.

...

It was still the Dolby Theater, where Lin Nan and Liu Yifei had been for three consecutive years.

On the red carpet, the crew of "The Revenant" appeared and cheers continued.

Leonardo, who was the favorite for the best actor and the defending best actor, waved his hands excitedly;

If you look closely, you will find that his left wrist is actually tied with a red rope, which is really a bit of metaphysics.

Kate Winslet, dressed in black and gold, is obviously more "haggard" than last year. European and American actresses just can't stand the passage of time.

Cate Blanchett, wearing a light green daffodil dress, looks a lot younger. The key is her temperament...

When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei entered the waiting area, they saw Zhang Yimou and others at a glance;

Jing Tian, ​​wearing a dark blue sequined tube-length dress, is also eye-catching and has a good figure.

"Sister Yifei, Brother Lin."

"Director Lin, Yifei."

"Lin Nan, Yifei."

"Director Zhang, good morning."

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 an 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 things are completely overwhelming!

Less than half an hour later, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were the first to walk onto the red carpet. Lin Nan bowed slightly and held up Liu Yifei's skirt.

…

There was no live video broadcast in China for this year's Oscars, only live text broadcasts, after all, Lin Nan didn't go for the award this year.

Speaking of this, the movie channel has something to say.

Just because Lin Nan went for the award twice, they specially bought the live broadcast rights twice, and the result was - a huge profit!

Hollywood time, when the awards ceremony started at around 9 pm, it was 12 noon in China, and the Internet was very lively.

"I'm climbing over the firewall, so stuck. Predict: The best actor will definitely be Leo!"

"I agree, Director Lin, the award presenter, may not necessarily present the Best Director Award, but may also present the Best Actor Award. If so, it will be a hot topic."

"Wow, Liu Yifei is as white as a porcelain doll, and it's a healthy white, whiter than the white actress next to her!"

…

Hua Yi and Wang Zhongjun were also watching the live broadcast of the Oscars. The project of "The Great Wall" is really eye-catching.

"Brother?" Wang Zhonglei called out.

"After two o'clock, let the Oscar news come first. It should be very lively online and in the circle... How is tomorrow's press conference going?"

"Invitations from various media have been sent out, and they all said they would not be absent. But they are still very curious about the content of our press conference and are asking about it; after all, it is rare in the circle to send a press conference invitation but keep the content of the press conference secret for the time being."

"Won't they guess it in a few hours?"

...

Lin Nan was invited to the backstage of the Oscar Awards Ceremony, and Li An was also there, he was also the award presenter.

After a simple greeting, the two were waiting.

A few minutes later, a voice came from the front:

"Next, please welcome the award presenter... the two-time Oscar winner for Best Director..."

"Lin Nan, I'll go first. See you at the dinner."

"Okay, Director Li." Lin Nan nodded.

Ten minutes later, when Lin Nan walked onto the stage of the awards ceremony with the card, the scene was obviously a little agitated.

Lin Nan saw Liu Yifei, Liu Dehua and Jing Tian waving at him, as well as Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain... Ryan Reynolds...

and Leonardo, who was shaking his legs nervously. For him, it seemed that he had taken half a step towards defending his title, because it was Lin Nan who was presenting the award.

Lin Nan turned the microphone up and opened the card.

Hey, sure enough!

He leaned close to the microphone and said 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 instantly.

Lin Nan smiled and looked at the audience, where Leonardo was hugging the crew members excitedly.

Oh my god, Kate Winslet doesn't seem to be from the crew of "The Revenant", right? Why is "Rose" hugging and wiping tears again?

Leonardo strode onto the stage, and Lin Nan handed him the trophy and certificate: "Congratulations on your defense, Leon."

Leonardo held something in one hand and hugged him directly: "Thank you, Lin."

The next moment, Leonardo came to the microphone and looked at Liu Yifei in the audience: "Crystal, can I kiss him?"

Fuck! Lin Nan was dumbfounded, what is this?

The scene was already full of 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 kidding you, Lin. I only like young girls, haha..."

Fuck you! Lin Nan was smiling on his face, but he was already cursing Leonardo in his heart.

Leo was giving an emotional acceptance speech. He defended his title, he was satisfied, and he was going to give up!

…

During the dinner, Lin Nan was holding a glass of wine and chatting with a group of acquaintances.

Jing Tian had just come over to take a photo with Leonardo, including the Oscar trophy; now she was talking to Gong Li with Liu Yifei.

“Leon, Matt, can I discuss something with you?”

“Hmm? It’s rare to hear that Lin has something to ask of us, I’m very interested.” Matt Damon said with a smile.

“Tell me, what’s the matter?” Leonardo was in a very good mood, and he had already planned to take a vacation.

“I don’t know when exactly, but I will make a movie. At that time, I hope one or two of you can come to help me make a cameo or play a supporting role. How about it?”

Hearing Lin Nan say this, Leonardo and Matt Damon both laughed immediately.

After a while, it was Matt Damon who spoke first:

"If someone asked me to play a supporting role, I would definitely consider it carefully and read the script first.

When Nolan asked me to play a supporting role in "Interstellar", I read the script first;

But since it was you, Lin, who invited me, there is absolutely no problem. I can agree now. I'm waiting for your call at any time!"

"Matt has already said what I want to say. He interrupted me!"

Leonardo smiled and raised his glass, drank it all in one gulp, and his attitude was clear.

Hearing the promises of the two people, Lin Nan was also very happy: "Thank you both. Come, have a drink?"

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"
