That year Huayu

At around eight o'clock in the morning, Tom drove Lin Nan to Los Angeles Airport alone.

The two assistants took their belongings and boarded the flight back home early yesterday afternoon.

"Lin, the company plans to start filming "Fifty Shades Darker" in the middle of the year, and "The Conjuring 2" with James..."

Tom chattered while driving, interrupting Lin Nan's nap.

"Well, it's up to you.

In addition, you must be prepared. We need to bear the public relations expenses ourselves this year. Lin Nan warned.

"Manchester by the Sea" is an award-winning film, so the salaries of Leonardo and others are not high, which can be regarded as saving public relations expenses in a disguised way.

"Okay, I understand. Is it still the same PR company as last year?"

"Yes, you can continue to cooperate with them."

"Do you really not need to contact Weinstein Films? They are really strong in this area." Tom asked confirmingly.

"Weinstein's reputation is so bad. Even if the film is excellent enough to win an award, if it really goes through their hands to win the award, the award will be watered down."

Lin Nan commented unceremoniously.

"Okay then, it's up to you."

While talking, the car arrived at the airport.

Lin Nan pulled a small suitcase and hugged Tom: "See you later, Tom."

"Goodbye, Lin. Say hello to Crystal for me."

It's okay that Tom didn't say this. When he mentioned Liu Yifei, Lin Nan immediately remembered something.

"Is this guy working as an undercover agent next to me, reporting my whereabouts to her at any time?"

Tom suddenly put on a playful smile, "Lin, Crystal said this is for your own good..."

"I believe your lies."

Lin Nan smiled and cursed, then turned and walked towards the airport. After a few seconds, he stretched out his arm and shook it above his head, rushing towards Tom behind him.

…

The domestic film and television and entertainment circles are very busy these days.

A top first-line niche was "killed" by Fengxing.

A few days ago, it was March 28th.

Zhuo Wei posted a "See you on Monday" Weibo, which was directed at the "good man" actor Wen and actress Yao.

Within a few hours, the person involved angrily refuted:

"This is slander and a "false report" that is based on nothing... We will use legal means to protect our own rights and interests."

After his rant, the actor even warned the paparazzi to be careful.

Backed by his godfather, he is also a popular A-list student, very talented.

Maybe this is the reason why he has always been arrogant, domineering and arrogant, and doesn't take Yu Ji seriously.

But Fengxing didn't know whether he had contacted Wen in private before and wanted to keep it private but was sarcastically rejected, or whether it was just to avenge an old grudge.

Only two days later, on the 30th, a large number of photos appeared on the Internet, all of which were of the actor surnamed Wen and the actress Yao.

Now it's better, I really "see you on Monday", I can't even quibble, I was directly sentenced to death, and the whole network was scolded, like a street rat.

There is no shortage of things in the entertainment industry that add insult to injury and push people away.

And the irony is: this is a first-line actor who wears the persona of "good man", "good husband" and "good father".

It doesn't seem difficult to kill him completely.

How many resources will be freed up if a first-line male star falls? Everyone behind will have a chance to take the lead.

Most importantly, it seems that the original wife is still pregnant?

Pregnancy - cheating, this can definitely kill you with a stick!

The actor also recognized the reality very clearly. Half a day later, in the early morning of the 31st, he directly posted on Weibo to "admit his mistakes and beg for forgiveness."

But everything could not be saved. In just a few days, the scandal was everywhere, and the reputation, drama appointments, endorsements... the career completely collapsed.

Actresses are even worse. What they will face is most likely to be banned.

Who makes the man’s first wife very “powerful”?

Even the original husband started his career from a humble background, and the first wife was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

…

Lin Nan yawned and got off the plane, following the crowd towards the exit.

The sunshine in early April is slightly warmer, but still very dazzling.

Originally, he thought that since he was alone this time, he would not be caught, but Lin Nan miscalculated.

Entertainment reporters rely on this for their livelihood, and their eyes must be brighter than the last.

Just after walking a few steps out of the passage, Lin Nan was still searching for Liu Yifei's car, and was surrounded in the blink of an eye.

The reporters are extremely excited, and they have caught you.

From the end of February to the beginning of April, not only did an Oscar ceremony take place, but Lin Nan also filmed a movie.

Speaking of movies, a group of reporters wanted to ask a lot.

Lin Nan finally identified Liu Yifei's car.

No wonder she couldn't find it the first time. It turned out that the car Lin Nan was driving was the one that Lin Nan bought her in January and had already been delivered.

"Director Lin, has "Manchester by the Sea" been finished?"

"Yes, it just wrapped up the day before yesterday."

“Will this movie still be in contention for the Oscars?”

Lin Nan paused, "Let's talk about it then."

"Director Lin, congratulations on setting a new box office record for domestic films again.

What do you think of director Zhang Yimou’s view that all major mainland directors have been kidnapped by the box office? "

Lin Nan became serious. To be honest, this question was really difficult to answer.

“In my opinion, movies are made by the director, but they are not made by the director himself, and the box office is a way for the outside world to recognize the quality of the films made by a director, just like awards at film festivals.

Although many bad movies took advantage of the loopholes and achieved high box office. But box office is still one of the ways for directors to gain recognition from the outside world and motivate themselves to move forward. "

“In addition, movies have two attributes, namely artistic and commercial attributes.

The box office is an intuitive reflection of commercial attributes. How can we say that the director was 'kidnapped' by the box office? It's obviously positive. "

As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, he was asked a question.

"Does Director Lin mean that Director Zhang, on the one hand, desires high box office, but on the other hand, he resists his own mentality?

In other words, he still believes that the artistic attributes of movies should be higher than the commercial attributes? And he is moving closer to commercial attributes against his own wishes? "

Lin Nan said "fuck" in his heart, it was obvious that he was digging a hole for him in front of him!

"The above is just my understanding of 'box office', not director Zhang Yimou's. Hurry up, I'm in a hurry."

Lin Nan urged, if you continue to ask, you still don’t know what to ask?

"Do you know about Wen Zhang? Many netizens and people in the film and television industry suggested that Director Jiang Wen delete all the scenes of Wen Zhang in "One Step Away". What do you think?"

"I have been filming "Manchester by the Sea" and I haven't paid much attention to domestic affairs."

"That's right, within his marriage..."

"That's it, Yifei is urging me, everyone, give way..."

The reporters looked in the direction of Lin Nan's gaze, and sure enough they saw Liu Yifei standing next to a brand new red Ferrari, waving in this direction.

A group of people chased Lin Nan until he got into the car, but no more answers were received.

Liu Yifei, who looked bright and elegant under heavy makeup, fastened her seat belt and poked her cheek at Lin Nan, the co-pilot, "Hurry up."

After a gentle kiss, Miss Liu raised her chin and stepped on the accelerator arrogantly.

With a "boom", the car jumped out.

"Slow down, Sissy."

"Oh, just sit tight and don't interrupt me while I drive."

Liu Yifei gave Lin Nan a "fierce" look, um, quite cute.

"What are they asking you? It's been taking so long?"

"It's all gossip. But I'm quite curious about Jiang Wen's state of mind these past two days, haha..."

Lin Nan said with a smile, he knew that Wen Zhang's role in "One Step Away" was not light.

Now the entire Internet is boycotting Wen Zhang, and many people in the industry are still adding insult to injury. Jiang Wen must be under a lot of pressure, after all, he invested 300 million in a movie.

"You're so curious, why don't you just call and ask?"

Lin Nan shook his head: "Forget it, I won't cause any trouble for him. But based on my understanding of him, Director Jiang has never been a person who would compromise with the outside world!"

…

Before Liu Yifei arrived home in her car, the news of Lin Nan's return to China had already spread in the circle.

"Director Lin Nan landed at the Capital Airport at about 11 o'clock this morning. The film "Manchester by the Sea" has been successfully completed."

“Director Lin Nan refutes director Zhang Yimou’s ‘box office kidnapping theory’ based on the film’s ‘commercial attributes’…”

…

"Finally home."

At the same time, calls were made to Wang Changtian, Ye Ning and others, but all they heard was "The phone you dialed has been turned off."

Not seen for more than a month, the cats and dogs in the yard looked very excited when they saw Lin Nan, the shit-sweeper.

The dogs kept circling around him, while a few cats stood at his feet, raising their heads and meowing, making very nice sounds.

"Lin Nan, Xixi, wash your hands and have lunch."

Liu Xiaoli shouted to the two people who had just entered the yard.

Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei, "No wonder you didn't say you would go out to eat today."

"Hey, mom made dumplings. She can't go to the kitchen even once every ten days and a half, so you're in for a treat."

Liu Yifei smiled and hugged Lin Nan's arm and walked towards the villa. She begged Liu Xiaoli to cook today's meal.

…

An hour later, Lin Nan sat in the garden and started answering calls. There were so many things going on.

"La Dong, China Film Group is going to host a celebration banquet? Okay, let China Film Group do it."

"Brother Jackie Chan's 60th birthday invitation! Are you already 60?"

…

After talking about some chores, Lin Nan called Wang Changtian.

"I thought I couldn't contact you today. You are always on the phone."

"Why are you so anxious to find me?" Lin Nan asked with a smile.

"Let me tell you, Xu Zheng and I have discussed it, "囧" has been stuffed with the company's Bao Bei'er..."

Hearing this name, Lin Nan really had nothing to say.

He sighed inwardly, that's it, just take his 20% share of the box office and don't care about anything else.

Lin Nan thought of other serious matters.

"Director Wang, make an appointment in a few days and I'll come and take a look at the light."

"Okay, let me say hello before you come. I may not be in the company. What is it?"

"It's business, and in my opinion, it's not a small business."

Hearing what Lin Nan said, Wang Changtian immediately became interested, "Okay, let's talk in person then."

…

It was right for Lin Nan to come back in early April, because there were indeed a lot of things going on.

When he was napping at home in the afternoon, he was woken up by Liu Yifei because Xie Nan came over.

"I specifically chose to come here on the day that Director Lin comes back. Here, it's for you two."

Xie Nan was dressed slightly loosely and handed a red invitation letter to Miss Liu, while the candy bag was given to the confused Lin Nan.

On the invitation letter, the big word "囍" is very conspicuous.

"She came to the door in person to ask for money." Liu Yifei smiled at Lin Nan.

"Yes, I have to come personally to Yifei and Director Lin."

Lin Nan took the invitation, glanced at the time, and looked at Xie Nan:

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, are you two in such a hurry? The wedding is only a little over a month away."

Hearing Lin Nan's joke, Xie Nan smiled helplessly, "I can't wait if I don't rush. If I don't rush, I won't be able to hide my belly."

After saying this, Liu Yifei's eyes widened and she pointed at Xie Nan's belly with a look of surprise, "You..."

"Yes, it's been three months. Wu Dan is already forty and can't wait any longer."

Suddenly, Xie Nan's eyes were playful, glancing back and forth between Liu Yifei and Lin Nan, and said jokingly:

"You two should hurry up, haha..."
