Hualiu Director

Chapter 165 Rubbing the Red Carpet

After a short halftime break, the young Lakers players significantly accelerated their rhythm in the third quarter, and the intensity of both offense and defense suddenly increased.

The Clippers players were already on the verge of exhaustion, and the sudden acceleration of the pace made them at a loss.

Even though the Clippers are full of superstars, they can't help but have little energy in the physical column, 32 to 17. This is the score of the two sides in the third quarter, and the Lakers successfully completed the counterattack.

"Just do it guys and kick their asses!"

Nicholson's trash talk is not inferior to the players on the field. Since Kobe retired, Staples has not been able to do so well on both ends of the offense and defense for a long time. How can he not be excited.

Encouraged by Nicholson, the Staples fans grew more and more enthusiastic.

"Hey guys, get excited, it's not enough to be happy, you have to shout it out, shout it out, that's the only way you'll be happier."

With the black thread on Lin Hong's head, he thought to himself that this is some kind of bullshit.

In the studio in the capital, Director Zhang saw the camera showing Nicholson and Lin Hong again.

"Today Nicholson seems very excited. He interacted with those Chinese fans more than once. It seems that he should have a good relationship in private."

Backstage soon a fan sent a text message to Director Zhang, "The one wearing the black jacket is Lin Hong, who is going to the beautiful country to attend the Golden Globe Awards." "The one wearing the gray jacket is Li Xian."

Well, Director Zhang didn't notice this information at all until the director told him through the headset.

"Oh, I'm sorry, these Chinese fans are film directors from China. The awards will be presented tomorrow night in the beautiful country time. We also hope that they can win the awards."

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the young Lakers used full-court pressing tactics to squeeze out the last trace of the Clippers' physical energy.

After a symbolic resistance for half a quarter, seeing the huge difference of 26 points, the head coach of the Clippers, Rivers, replaced all the main players and announced in advance that the game would enter garbage time.

Nicholson crossed his legs and watched leisurely as his beloved Lakers controlled everything on the field, and would high-five the Lakers players passing by from time to time.

"Well done boy, you played well tonight."

"The slam dunk just now was great, you should be selected as an All-Star."

At the end of the game, the Lakers beat their rivals in the same city 113:91. Nicholson walked towards Lin Hong with his arms open and grinning.

"Thank you, director from China, you have brought good luck to me and the Lakers. The trend of the game is completely within your expectations."

Facing Nicholson's exaggerated praise, Lin Hong didn't really take it to heart, but he still hugged him as a courtesy.

This scene was immediately seen by fans all over the world, and they all speculated about the identity of this Asian fan. He was able to interact with Nicholson for almost the entire game, and finally hugged and celebrated. What kind of status is this!

Lin Hong didn't know what the fans all over the world thought. He only knew that the guy in front of him was Jack Nicholson, one of the best actors in Hollywood. If possible, it would be inevitable not to cooperate with him.

"Mr. Nicholson, I am very glad to meet you tonight, but now I have to go back to the hotel. I have an important business negotiation tomorrow morning."

Hearing what Lin Hong said, Nicholson smiled even wider.

Lin Hong always felt that Nicholson's smile was meaningful, but he didn't know what went wrong.

Originally, Lin Hong wanted to ask Nicholson for a contact information, but he thought that unless the relationship with Meiguo was particularly close, the actors would usually contact actors through their agents, so he gave up the idea of ​​asking for contact information.

The next morning, when Lin Hong appeared at Warner Studios, he knew why Nicholson laughed so strangely last night.

"See you again, my lucky boy!"

God damn lucky boy, I have always heard that old guys like to call people nicknames, and now it seems that it is true.

"Mr. Nicholson, did you know yesterday that we would meet today?"

Lin Hong also imitated the beautiful Chinese people's speech, and it was obvious that they liked this way of communication.

"When I knew your name and identity, I knew I would meet again today, but you don't have to worry about your friendship with me, business is business."

Lin Hong really didn't know where the old man could tell how deep the friendship between the two was. As for business, hehe, Lin Hong would not let the so-called friendship affect him.

"No, from the moment I saw you, I felt that I was already shaken."

Lin Hong gave himself a thumbs up, and now he doesn't blush at all when he speaks against his will. In the future, if he wants to do something against his ancestor's decision, it may be logical.

Pooh…

Nicholson didn't care whether what Lin Hong said was true or not, at least in the eyes of Warner executives, the old guy added weight to the negotiation.

Today, Lin Hong came to Warner to talk about script cooperation, and it was the script that Kong Xiao released in Cannes last time.

Warner's box office in the film market in recent years has not been bad, and the company's stock is also very stable.

But it may be the usual hypocrisy. After making money, Warner wanted to win awards, so he searched all over the world for scripts that could win awards.

On the last day in Cannes, they saw a script called "The Silence of the Lambs" in Kong Xiao's hands, and then they were deeply attracted by this script.

Although Hollywood is not interested in R-rated movies and cult movies, this "Silence of the Lambs" is different. The stories in it are too malleable, and the performance space is also very large. Maybe it can make history.

So Warner contacted Kong Xiao several times, hoping to negotiate the purchase of the script, but Kong Xiao refused for various reasons, and finally finalized the Lin Hong Golden Globe Award party for negotiation.

The reason why Nicholson appeared was because he had also read some of the scripts, and he was very interested in the role of Dr. Hannibal. He really wanted to play this quiet but extremely crazy perverted murderer.

Lin Hong has too many good scripts in his hands, and "The Silence of the Lambs" is a project he can't shoot in China, and he doesn't want to take over the project.

But this script is definitely the top script in Hollywood, and Lin Hong just wanted to use "The Silence of the Lambs" to throw stones and ask for directions, and by the way, bring the brand of Hualiu to the world film center.

As usual, Xiao Di was in charge of the negotiation, while Lin Hong was led by Warner's executives and Nicholson to walk around Warner's office building, and then drank a few cups of coffee.

The script negotiation went very smoothly. Hua Liu used the script as capital investment and asked for a co-producer status, and at the same time received 7% of the film's proceeds.

Both parties were satisfied with the result of such negotiations. Lin Hong completed the first chess piece of the layout, and Warner, like Paramount, obtained actual benefits.

Two consecutive scripts and two major film companies have reached a cooperation agreement, and Lin Hong is in a particularly good mood.

"One more steak, I guess I'll be hungry again tonight."

Lin Hong is very satisfied with Hilton's food delivery, not only delicious, but also fast.

"Isn't the Golden Globes an awards ceremony in the form of a dinner party? Everyone eats and drinks to share the awards."

Kong Xiao looked at Li Xian's question with disdain.

"You thought it was the Huabiao Awards. Everyone eats and drinks before entering the auditorium. The dining table for the Golden Globe Awards is in the venue. Everyone eats while watching the performance and accepting the awards. Would you like to eat and drink?"

This is also the place where the Golden Globes have been criticized by environmental protection organizations. There is no need to hold an awards ceremony in the form of a dinner party. Those female stars do not touch knives and forks at all, and the male stars basically just drink.

The food and drinks wasted every year because of the Golden Globes cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and some environmentalists have proposed canceling the dinner or changing all the dishes to vegetarian in response to environmental protection.

"Forget it, let's have a full meal at noon, and don't let people spread rumors that we in China can only eat voles."

……

At around [-]:[-] p.m., the Golden Globe Awards Organizing Committee notified Lin Hong and his party that they could start walking the red carpet.

Basically, every grand event will have a red carpet ceremony, and this link has gradually become a place to compete for beauty.

"Is that Nicole Kidman?"

Li Xian pointed to the Australian goddess on the red carpet in the distance. Today's goddess is still stunning in light blue and deep V. Lin Hong also felt her natural beauty from a distance. He thought that Brother Cruise could leave such a goddess behind. , is really a fighter among scumbags.

"Scarlett Johansson is here too, my goddess!"

Kong Xiao was no longer reserved, and even thought about whether he should pretend to be an acquaintance and come up to give a face-to-face gift, at least he would have no regrets if he could shake hands, and he would probably be envious of Xing Wei when he went back.

"Will Smith is much stronger than he looks on the screen. I don't know if it's because of his recent fitness."

Watching batch after batch of celebrities walk past the red carpet, the organizer signaled Lin Hong and the others to go up.

After tidying up his clothes again, director Lin Hong took the lead, followed by producer Huang Li, four leading actors and executive producer Kong Xiao.

Because Lin Hong could bring a partner, he finally brought his manager Wang Jinghua. On such an occasion, she can appear on camera, which will definitely be of great help to her in opening up overseas markets, or helping foreign stars act as agents in China.

Although the eight people in "Life Kiss Me Badly" appeared on the red carpet of the Golden Globe Awards for the first time, the media reporters present had already guided Lin Hong and others from the instruction manual.

There are even well-informed media reporters who already know that Lin Hong has cooperated with Paramount and Warner, and this young Chinese director will definitely appear in Hollywood again in the next few years.

So the reporters present all held up their cameras and took crazy shots at Lin Hong and others.

"Don't hide it, keep your chest straight."

Huang Li almost kicked Kong Xiao's ass.

Although the red carpet this time is to create momentum for "Life Kiss Me Painfully", but the voting has already ended, and the momentum is useless, so to maximize the benefits, it is better to advertise for "People on the Road".

Of course it was inappropriate for Lin Hong to be the director to take the lead in advertising, so this task was handed over to Kong Xiao.

"Master, I'm wearing a suit and fanning myself in the winter, no matter how you look at me, I look like an idiot."

Although Kong Xiao murmured a little, he had already walked on the red carpet and of course he stopped coddling it. Of course he knew how good the publicity effect of this wave of red carpet photos back in China would be.

So Kong Xiao opened the folding fan with a "wow", and on the fan was written the four Chinese characters "I'm on my way" with a brush.

According to the rules of the organizing committee, as long as the promotion is not in the wrong direction, it is allowed to advertise one's own film, of course, the premise is not to go too far.

The speed of Lin Hong and the others walking the red carpet is not fast, but it is definitely not slow, at least maintaining the same speed as the two groups of stars before and after.

Just when Lin Hong and the others were waving to the photographer and the camera frequently, Kong Xiao suddenly noticed something unusual not far behind him.

"Lin Hong, someone rubbed against our red carpet!"
