Chapter 481 Returning to China, Four Little Flowers

The male protagonist was "guided" by the lawyer and "made up" a third story.

That is, the boy's mother, who happened to be an employee of the hotel, hid the boy's father in the room in advance.

When the male protagonist and his lover went to redeem the evidence of the affair, the boy's father knocked the male protagonist unconscious, killed his lover, and then left without a trace with the help of his wife.

In this way, he not only avenged his son, but also blamed the male protagonist for the death of his lover.

"No, no, no, you are too happy too early. Your private lawyer has long helped you delete the accident investigation record at the police station.

In other words, the boy's father didn't know about your existence. Then why did he decisively kill Laura and directly blame you? This doesn't make sense, his motive is incomplete!"

In the camera, Leonardo's mouth trembled slightly, "In fact, I was also part of the traffic accident at the time. Laura was driving..."

One is the crime of intentional homicide for the death of the lover, and the other is the crime of harboring a car accident. The male protagonist can tell which is more serious. After all, the boy is still missing, not dead...

"Or you can think about this situation: In fact, it was your lover who did everything alone, and you were not with her that day... She threw the dirty water from the car accident on you, and you knew nothing..."

The lawyer's words confused the male protagonist, and the former continued:

"In fact, the prosecution has no witnesses. I lied to you that there were witnesses just to make you confess to me.

Only if you fully trust me as a defense lawyer can I help you perfectly convince the jury."

In the camera, Leonardo nodded in sudden enlightenment, revealing a relaxed look.

He began to "make up" the fourth story, which was the story that the lover did it alone and threw dirty water on him. Since there were no witnesses, it could be perfectly dead without evidence.

"In fact, when I pushed the car into the water, he was still alive..."

Hearing this, Naomi Watts, who played the elderly female lawyer, trembled obviously.

She widened her eyes, a trace of grief flashed across her, but she instantly concealed this emotion and continued to induce...

"Click!"

Lin Nan stood up and clapped.

"I said at the beginning that I hope to finish the filming in one month, just like "The Hunt".

But now it seems that, Leon, you can let Crystal and I return home a week earlier."

"Oh, doesn't that mean that we will be separated soon? This is not good news."

Naomi and Jessica laughed at the same time. The group of people got along very well these days.

"No need to start work this afternoon, everyone have a good rest, we will shoot the last story tomorrow.

It is also the most important part of this movie, connecting and overturning all the previous plots, and completely reversing and subverting them."

"Dear Lin, then we have to prepare for the wrap party in advance."

Lin Nan looked at Leo and smiled, "Of course."

…………

Only three days later, the farce of a group of domestic directors and filmmakers ended.

The Film Bureau's reply this time was very fast, and the meaning was very clear:

"Considering the current development status of the domestic film industry, the rating system is too idealistic and is not more suitable for the domestic film industry than the censorship system... But in the future, it will be considered and organized for expert discussion in due course."

……

There was a lot of discussion in the circle and on the Internet, all of which was negative.

"The efficiency of the Film Bureau this time is unusually high!"

"Forget it. The word 'future' means that it will be impossible for at least 10 years..."

"Several top directors have not spoken out, which shows the problem. They are not optimistic about the rating system."

...

Although the industry did not have high expectations from the beginning, the announcement of the Film Bureau still hit the enthusiasm of the entire industry.

Lin Nan glanced at the message sent by Yue Jun.

To be honest, this result can be basically predicted by those in the circle who are not obsessed with it. It's a waste of time.

"Let's go and watch the stage play."

Liu Yifei put on light makeup herself, and her graceful and graceful appearance was very beautiful.

In the afternoon, there happened to be a Broadway stage play performance in Hollywood, "The Housewife".

Between several movie party invitations and stage plays, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei chose the latter, which was considered a date.

I heard that Scarlett Johansson was still the star.

Few people remember that this is also the best actress in the Tony Award for Drama.

Sometimes I have to sigh that Hollywood actors, many of them have a pursuit of art.

Like Scarlett, even though her value has skyrocketed after "Avengers", she still hasn't given up on stage plays.

Look at those first-line film and television stars in China, such as Zhang Ziyi, many of whom are listed in the People's Art Theater and the National Theatre.

But how many plays have they actually performed? Very few, almost no one has heard of them.

…………

In China, "Lost in Thailand" has finally come to an end after 50 days of screening.

The total box office closed at 1.267 billion, and the daily box office was less than 50,000, which was considered a successful exit.

Xu Zheng became the second director in the 1 billion box office club, which was quite a dream.

However, this also made many big directors in the circle feel aggrieved and powerless. This is only Xu Zheng's second movie, and he is a latecomer.

As a Lunar New Year movie, Feng Xiaogang, Wang Jing and others all had a bit of flattery in their congratulations.

Xu Zheng is also quite good at dealing with people. He said frankly: "In the field of directing, I am still a primary school student. In the future, I will still need the support and guidance of Director Lin and other seniors..."

During the interview, the three main creators were asked about the sequel.

Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang both kept a low profile, "Director Lin has not notified us yet. If there is a sequel and it is still the original cast, we will prioritize the schedule and even reject other announcements without hesitation."

But Xu Zheng was different. After thinking for a moment, he directly told reporters that there would be a sequel.

This made Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang both a little confused. Why didn't they know?

Discussions quickly started in the circle. After hearing the news, Yue Jun frowned. In his opinion, Xu Zheng went a little too far.

…

"She has a very nice figure, with big breasts and wide butt. No wonder she has become a screen sweetheart."

In the evening, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei returned to Beverly Hills, and the latter said with a wink.

"Europeans and Americans cannot stand the test of time. In five years, they will be much inferior. And in ten years, you will still be at your peak beauty."

Lin Nan put Liu Yifei's bag on the sofa and said to herself, very seriously.

"You are glib. I remember when I first met you, you were not like this."

Liu Yifei bit her lip, smiled and looked at Lin Nan with a playful look in her eyes.

"At the beginning of my freshman year, I had just turned 18, and you had only celebrated your 15th birthday a few days ago. How could I dare?"

"Okay, it turns out you were having bad ideas back then!"

"It's unfair, I won't admit it..."

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei looked at each other and smiled heartlessly.

…

"The Invisible Guest" comes to the last story.

"The first four stories will be repeated from today on. It's just that the protagonist in the story has changed and became Leon."

On the crew, Lin Nan looked at Leonardo and said to everyone.

"I have asked Tom to prepare a cocktail party. When the filming is completed, we will celebrate together."

There were cheers from all the cast and crew, from the actors to the support team.

"Prepare, act!"

This action started three days of shooting...

All the previous stories are connected together, all overturned, all reversed and subverted.

Three months ago, the male protagonist and his lover each used an excuse to go to Paris for a business trip, but it was actually an affair.

Later on the return journey, the male protagonist drove on a shortcut, and his lover proposed to end the affair, break up, and then there was a quarrel and a car accident.

The lover wants to call the police, but the hero stops him. He is at the peak of his career and cannot be stained.

The male protagonist played by Leonardo took the initiative to dump the body and asked his lover to wait there. When the boy's father came...

The male protagonist scrapped his car, took the boy's work permit, and asked his lover to use her husband's computer to forge a record of absconding with the money.

The latter refused, but the rich and powerful male protagonist still succeeded in forging the "incident" of the boy absconding with the money.

The tragic situation of the boy's parents made the lover feel extremely guilty. She decided to expose the male protagonist and sent him a blackmail letter in the boy's name, asking him to take the money to a remote hotel.

She wanted to use the money to compensate the boy's parents. She also told the boy's parents the location of the hotel and asked them to come too.

The cunning male protagonist discovers his lover's plan to expose him, and decisively strikes first and kills his lover.

Then he hit his head badly and faked the scene... At this time, the boy's parents had not arrived yet.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were sitting behind the monitor. In the camera:

Naomi looked at Leonardo and said coldly:

"The old couple arrived at the hotel and learned of Laura's death, and they immediately understood all the truth..."

"What's the meaning?"

Xiao Lizi heard the other party's abrupt and cold words, noticed something was wrong, and subconsciously asked.

At this time, the phone rang. It was the actor's personal lawyer calling.

Naomi said, "You answer the phone first, I'll go out and get some fresh air..."

The call was connected, and the private lawyer told the hero that the passing driver had paid for it. The latter had never met the hero. In addition, the defender had something to do on the road and would not be able to get to the hero in two hours...

In the secondary shot at this time, Naomi had already entered the elevator, crossed the street, and reached the building opposite.

She hugged the boy's father, and she got the location where the hero's car sank and the recording.

She tore open behind her ears with both hands, and a human-like leather mask was lifted off, and the white hair cover was removed.

The face that was revealed again was that of the boy’s mother…

In the main shot, Leonardo looks horrified.

He looked at the table and saw a few lines of humiliating words left on the paper, plus what the private lawyer said that the defender was still on the way.

He finally realized that the defender just now was fake...

…

…

""The Invisible Guest" is finished!"

"You won't come home until you get drunk from the cocktail party tonight!"

Lin Nan looked at all the crew members present, breathed a long sigh of relief, and shouted excitedly.

"God!"

"Ouch..."

All kinds of cheers came and went.

Lin Nan also held up Miss Liu's face and kissed her hard, making her giggle.

…

The cocktail party concluded in the evening and guests gathered.

At the same time, it was just bright in the country.

"The foreign language film "The Invisible Guest" co-produced by Crystal Pictures and Appian Trail Pictures, directed by Director Lin Nan, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Naomi Watts, Jessica Chastain and others, is officially Finished.”

"The cocktail party has a luxurious lineup of guests, including Lionsgate, Warner, Disney... Nolan, Wen Tsai-ren, Anne Hathaway, Matt Damon..."

The domestic film and television circles were attracted by this news.

"So fast?"

"It's similar to the original "The Hunt". No surprise, it will be an award-winning film! Oscar?"

So, Director Lin and Liu Yifei are going back to China?

…………

It's about seven o'clock in the morning.

Tom took people and sent Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and two assistants to the airport.

"Lin, Crystal, the next time we see you is at the end of the year."

"Tom, remember to lose weight." Liu Yifei was the first to joke.

"Crystal, don't say such hurtful things."

"I'll take it back to edit it, and if it needs to be re-recorded later, I'll let them dub it at Crystal Pictures."

"Okay, Lin."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Lin Nan and the four of them walked into the airport.

The 12-hour flight is indeed a long journey for those who are eager to return home.

In the first class cabin, Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei's teasing eyes and couldn't help but joke:

"Isn't it just a kiss on the face? I was attacked by a sneak attack, um, this is the first time!"

"You can hide."

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes, her delicate face glowing in the light outside the window, looking particularly alluring.

"Wouldn't that make the other party very embarrassed?"

At last night's cocktail party, Lin Nan was attacked by two actresses from his own movie, saying it was a farewell etiquette.

"Next time, remember to hide."

Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan and muttered, as if she was at a disadvantage and being taken advantage of.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Lin Nan felt that the feeling of being jealous was actually quite good.

On a plane, you have to adjust to the jet lag. The best way is to take a nap and it will still be daytime when you wake up.

Twelve hours later, around ten o'clock in the morning, domestic time.

New Year's Eve is not far away. The weather also seemed dry and cold.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei wore the same down jackets and followed the two assistants out of the Capital Airport.

The media has been waiting for a long time and finally caught these two big fish.

Lin Nan also knew that he probably couldn't escape.

After all, I went to Hollywood to shoot a foreign language film, and these people would not let me slip away easily.

"Director Lin, Yifei, your couple's down jackets look great."

Lin Nan nodded helplessly. If you can't speak, just don't speak.

Liu Yifei was smiling because she was the one who picked the clothes...

"Director Lin, can you introduce "The Invisible Guest"? During this time, everyone is really curious about this movie."

"Sorry, this really doesn't work. If it can be released in China by then, everyone can go to the theater to watch it."

Upon hearing this, a group of reporters became excited, "Do you want to introduce it?"

"It's hard to say yet, I will try it later."

Lin Nan doesn't really want to introduce imported films into the country. He wants to use batch films because the share of imported films is too low.

If you are reviewing films, you only need to turn your left hand to your right hand.

If it is a film batch, he actually only needs to pay part of the funds to Leonardo's Appian Road, and the rest of the losses are just taxes.

There is a difference of nearly 20 points between the split ratio between imported films and approved films.

At this time, some media asked about a hot news.

"Director Lin, Yifei. After 4 years, the selection of the new four young actresses is underway. What do you think?"

Lin Nan really didn't pay attention to this matter, and Liu Yifei certainly didn't care about the news in China.

"If you hadn't asked, Yifei and I wouldn't have known about this. What's the situation now?"

Lin Nan asked with a smile, and Liu Yifei was also very curious.

The reporters suddenly started talking.

In the past four years, Liu Yifei has been promoted to Dahua, became a producer, and became a capital in the industry, so naturally she was not included in the selection.

Huang Shengyi, the former leader of the four young actors, has fallen and is not eligible for selection.

Wang Luodan has also gone astray and has fallen to the back of the second line. In addition, there is a person who looks similar to Huayi, and now his career is even more difficult.

There is only one Yang Mi who still maintains high exposure and commercial value and is a hot A-list actress.

Jing Tian has no national character and is not too hyped; Shu Chang is deeply influenced by Liu Yifei and is too lazy.

Both of them lack exposure and topics, and they are not among the popular candidates.

Lin Nan understood that this year's selection of the Four Little Actresses was no longer like before.

Liu Yifei was joined by CCTV and was jointly selected by hundreds of mainstream media.

But this time it is not the case. Many companies are spending money and swaying public opinion in an attempt to promote people.

But speaking of it, Yang Mi is indeed very stable. Currently, she has a stable position thanks to Shanhai Media and Lin Nan Pictures.

"Director Lin, will "The Invisible Guest" go to the Oscars?"

The media asked the last question, and all the reporters widened their eyes, looking forward to Lin Nan's answer.
