Chapter 602: Weinstein-Style Happiness

Jiang Wen has a high status in the international film industry. The Hollywood Film Daily has already announced the release date of "One Step Away".

It's only March at the beginning of the year, and he has already gone straight to the Lunar New Year's Day, reserving a lot of time for publicity. His ambition and appetite are evident.

The mainland film industry can see that he is clearly going to repeat the path of "Let the Bullets Fly" and make breakthroughs and surpasses in box office.

Who knows, by the end of this year, there will be another big director in the 1 billion box office club!

"One Step Away" is scheduled to be released in North America, and is negotiating with a suitable distributor..."

Crystal Pictures, Lin Nan sat in the office, flipping through the news.

In his mind, he unconsciously portrayed Jiang Wen's "arrogant" and "pointing fingers" look.

It seems that as long as he goes to the Lunar New Year's Day, other movies are destined to be a chicken and a dog!

"Leon is really cruel."

Tom sighed and walked into Lin Nan's office, looking like he had seen a ghost.

"What happened to him?"

"Lin, I heard from the paparazzi that he dumped his girlfriend of three months, who was only 22 years old."

"Isn't this normal? He is Leonardo." Lin Nan laughed out loud.

"No, no, no, do you know how weird his reason is?

He said that he wanted to concentrate on the filming of the movie, so he simply broke up and avoided distractions."

The smile on Lin Nan's face froze. What kind of a lie is this? He and "Manchester by the Sea" refused to take the blame!

"Haha, do you think I will believe it? This is at most a tiny part of the reason. Ninety-nine percent of the time, he is tired of it!"

Lin Nan complained bluntly. If Liu Yifei saw this gossip, she might "lecture" him again.

"Hmm? It seems to make sense!"

Tom thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"Let's not talk about these boring things for now. How many audition resumes have you received for the main roles?"

"We have received no less than fifty, all of them are senior Hollywood actors.

Lin, don't underestimate your influence, and don't underestimate their desire for awards."

Tom said proudly with his big belly.

"Then notify these actors to start auditions from tomorrow morning."

Lin Nan glanced at Tom and casually ordered. He must know his influence, so why does Tom need to remind him? Really,

"Okay, Lin."

...

In the afternoon, when Lin Nan returned to Beverly Hills, Liu Yifei had just returned.

I thought I would face some "weird" from Miss Liu, but in fact, Lin Nan found that she was a little depressed.

"What's wrong?"

Sitting next to Liu Yifei, he asked softly.

She glanced at Lin Nan, with a trace of sadness on her face, and leaned over.

"In two days, the dubbing of "Interstellar" will be finished."

Hearing this, Lin Nan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was something else. It turns out that I have to go back to China alone. I can't bear to leave!

"Then accompany me to finish filming this movie and go back together?"

"No, there are still many notices in March, magazines, advertisements, public welfare films, fashion exhibitions..."

Liu Yifei leaned on Lin Nan's arms, shook her head gently, and rubbed her head.

"Okay, then you go back first, I'm also very quick here.

You can go to the company with Shu Chang to see that Lu Yang is auditioning for "Embroidered Spring Blade 2", and you are the producer of the first one."

"Yeah, okay."

Women, change their faces as soon as they say it!

She said "OK" in a soft voice in the previous second, and changed her tone in the next second.

Liu Yifei raised her head and frowned slightly, staring at Lin Nan, very seriously. Then she opened her pearly teeth slightly, exhaling like orchids: "Don't learn bad things from Leon..."

"I don't know him well, just ordinary friends. Haha..."

"Humph, Tom will report to me!"

...

China, Lin Nan Films.

When the actress who was auditioning performed a few knife tricks under the demonstration of the martial arts instructor, Lu Yang's eyes lit up.

Women in martial arts films don't have to be very beautiful, but their temperament and "martial arts" must be impressive.

He didn't want to shoot some cutout-style martial arts, or slow-motion tricks in close-ups, which would be disgusting.

"Isn't her salary high?"

Lu Yang picked up the resume and asked Yue Jun next to him while reading it, "Xin Zhilei..."

Yue Jun moved closer and whispered, "Currently, she is more than a third-tier actor, less than a second-tier actor."

Xin Zhilei on the field had handed the prop long sword to the staff. She looked at Lu Yang and Yue Jun in front of her and felt a little nervous.

She knew that Lin Nan Films was one of the few relatively fair film and television companies in the circle, and there was no mess.

It was normal for the protagonists of the company's movies to prefer their own people and acquaintances, but the auditions for supporting roles were basically fair and open.

When she thought of a large group of colleagues waiting outside the door, her heart beat faster.

"The film will start shooting in mid-April at the latest, and it is planned to be completed in 3 months, but you have to leave at least 4 months of time, can you do it?"

Lu Yang's voice suddenly sounded, which made Xin Zhilei stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help laughing.

"No problem, Director Lu, I'm very free."

Yue Jun and Lu Yang couldn't help laughing when they heard this. "Very free" means that an actor is not popular!

"Okay. I will notify your agent later, and then come to sign the contract."

“Thank you Director Lu, thank you Director Yue, thank you…”

…………

In Hollywood, Lin Nan finally saw what “Weinstein”-style happiness is!

In the past, “Buried”, “The Hunt”, “The Invisible Guest”…

Well, there were no prominent female roles in the first two films, and the actress in the latter film was half recommended and half auditioned, and nothing went wrong.

It may be mainly because he didn’t have an Oscar resume before?

So, until today’s audition for “Manchester by the Sea”, he was really enlightened.

On the first day of the audition, an actress said nakedly and directly that she could accept the “hidden rules”.

Not only that, the other party actually knew that it was Lin Nan who could make the decision, and the goal was very clear!

Good guy, Lin Nan subconsciously thought that he had heard it wrong, but Tom’s expression told him that he was not hallucinating.

After sending away the first one who wanted to take off his clothes, there was still a second one…

“Lin, don’t be so surprised, this is normal in Hollywood, isn’t it? You guys are absolutely the same.”

Tom said confidently, with a lewd and mean smile.

"But, but, it's not that straightforward?!"

Lin Nan was a little amused.

At this moment, some names flashed through his mind: Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Jizhong, Gu Changwei...

Then, Lin Nan shook his head vigorously: "I am different from them!"

...

Two consecutive days of auditions.

Lin Nan not only saw the "temptation" of Hollywood, but also saw what a "brainless idiot" is - Jennifer Lawrence.

You auditioned, but you had to pretend to be powerful, saying that when the movie needs public relations, you can find Weinstein.

I know that he pushed you up, but it's a bit disgusting to show off like this.

That's right, after all, she is an actress who "accidentally" fell on the Oscar red carpet for two consecutive years.

A few days ago at the Oscars, even if the host Ellen DeGeneres repeatedly reminded her with her mouth "don't fall".

But this one still resolutely decided to steal the spotlight, with a single method.

Afterwards, even the winner of the Best Supporting Actor, when interviewed by the media, said frankly that she acted on purpose.

Early the next morning, Lin Nan sent Liu Yifei to the airport.

It has been more than half a month since the two flew here at the end of February.

In the car, Liu Yifei rested her head on Lin Nan's arm and told him to make a video call on time.

"Nolan said that "Interstellar" will be released this year, and he will bring a team to promote it in China at that time."

"Then we will do our best to be the host, just like "Inception" at the beginning."

"Okay."

Liu Yifei suddenly sat up and asked, "How was the audition?"

"Not very good. After you board the plane, I will go back to Crystal Pictures. I have made an appointment with those acquaintances and let them try out the roles."

At this point, Miss Liu immediately became interested.

"Who?"

"I want Matt to try Leon's brother in the movie. He is a few years older, and with makeup..."

"Well, it sounds pretty good!" Liu Yifei nodded slightly.

While they were talking, two cars arrived at the airport.

The assistant stood far away waiting, while Liu Yifei leaned on Lin Nan's arms.

Her long hair felt smooth, just like her skin.

"Okay, go in quickly. I have something to do."

Lin Nan urged with a smile, facing Liu Yifei's unhappy eyes, "Are you chasing me away?"

"How dare I? Princess Sissi. Let's finish the filming as soon as possible and go back to find you as soon as possible."

"That's better."

After rolling her eyes at Lin Nan, she smiled, "muma."

"Okay, you go back. But you must remember..."

"Remember, I won't learn bad things from Leon. He asked me to watch the show yesterday, and I refused righteously."

"Yeah, not bad."

Lin Nan got in the car and left until Liu Yifei and others walked into the airport and disappeared from sight.

…………

Crystal Pictures

Leonardo looked at Matt Damon speechlessly, "Why are you here?"

Good man, this question made Matt Damon want to laugh.

"Leon, you seem a little neurotic, or are you worried that I will steal the leading role from you?"

"No, I never worry. I'm just curious about the purpose of your coming today. By the way, and Jessica?"

Before Jessica Chastain could speak, a voice came from outside the office door.

"I want her to try to play your ex-wife. Well, the ex-wife in the movie." Lin Nan walked in with a smile.

In Hollywood, Jessica Chastain's looks are not too beautiful, they can only be said to be above average.

But this is also the advantage of an actress, who can create a variety of roles and highlight her acting skills.

...

After nearly an hour, everything was done.

Leonardo, Matt Damon, and Jessica Chastain looked at each other, and they all felt like laughing but holding back.

"Matt, don't worry.

I will definitely act the scene where you are lying cold in the hospital morgue in the best condition, no, I will act it seriously. Haha..."

Matt Damon gave Leo a contemptuous look and didn't bother with him.

"Then I'm looking forward to it, brother..."

Lin Nan looked at Jessica, "You two played lovers in the last play, and you play ex-husband and ex-wife in this play, so you should have a tacit understanding."

"I was planning to take a break, but this is your movie. I hope you can give me another trophy, Lin!"

When they heard the word "trophy", Leonardo and Matt Damon looked over subconsciously. What a tempting thing.

Lin Nan's heart was relieved.

Other supporting roles are really easy to find. There are a lot of them in the guild.

"After the company's team communicates with the shooting location in the next two days, we can start work. We can also take a vacation during the free time of filming." Lin Nan said it easily.

...

After a twelve-hour flight, Miss Liu landed at the Capital Airport.

The media reporters have been waiting for so many days, and finally they have found someone!

As soon as they saw Liu Yifei, a large number of media reporters surrounded her. The scene was quite spectacular.

"Yifei..."
