That year Huayu

"Liu Yifei arrived at the Capital Airport this morning and said that director Lin Nan will return to China after the filming of the movie "Manchester by the Sea" is completed."

"Disney's 3D animated movie "Frozen" starring Liu Yifei was officially released yesterday, with a total box office revenue of 450 million."

"Directed by director Lin Nan and produced by Liu Yifei, the main theme commercial film "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" earned a box office of 140 million in the first week of March."

"The total box office of "Taking the Tiger Mountain" has reached 1.843 billion, which is only 157 million yuan short. The Chinese film market will enter the era of 2 billion yuan box office!"

…

A series of news reports from the media quickly made headlines in film and television entertainment news.

Especially when Liu Yifei showed the Oscar statuette in public outside the airport at the request of media reporters, she smiled brightly and joked:

"How did you know you were here?"

The reporters did not save any face for Lin Nan: "I guess he only saw all Director Lin's trophies in the few days after receiving the award, haha..."

Just a few hours after returning home, Liu Yifei received a call from the college, asking her to take Lin Nan's trophy and certificate with her in her free time.

This was the first Oscar trophy in mainland China. The day after the awards ceremony, the school took the time to make a cross-ocean call.

Just like when Lin Nan won the first Silver Bear Award for Best Director, the Academy wanted him to donate it, and it was even more urgent than then.

But the final result of the "negotiation" was exactly the same as before, Lin Nan only gave photos!

…

Early in the morning, Lin Nan received a call from Yue Jun.

"Director Lin, the audition for "Xiu Chun Dao 2" just ended yesterday. The company has arranged a timetable with Hengdian, and the filming will start in mid-April at the latest."

"Is there any problem with the crew of "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain"?"

"Chen Hong said that Zhang Zhen's role will be completed by the end of this month at the latest. She also praised us for using Zhang Zhen, haha..."

Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh after hearing this joke.

"When Lu Yang really sets the schedule for the same day as "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain", I wonder if she will still praise it?" Lin Nan teased.

"But if Director Lu really does this, I'm afraid it will be bad, right?"

After Yue Jun smiled, he became worried.

"What's wrong? It's just a normal schedule competition. It depends on his choice. If you really make a decision, respect his wishes."

Lin Nan looked indifferent anyway.

He was about to meet Zhang Yimou on the same schedule, so Lu Yang went to see Chen Kaige. It was just for a small matter, no big deal.

"Okay, now that the casting is over, let's file it."

"okay."

…

Here in China, at 10 o'clock in the evening, a piece of news from Hollywood once again caused the entertainment industry to explode.

"Manchester by the Sea," a foreign language film produced by Crystal Pictures and directed by Lin Nan, has officially announced its main creative lineup:

The main actors this time include: Leonardo DiCaprio, Jessica Chastain, Matt Damon..."

This cast, whether in the eyes of the film and television industry, the media, or netizens, is an extremely luxurious one.

The three core actors have all worked with Lin Nan, and they are all movie kings and movie queens!

Before, everyone had speculated that 99% of this movie was a film destined for awards.

Now it’s no longer 99%. This “Manchester by the Sea” is 100% a film destined for awards.

And there are only four places to go, either the three major European film festivals, the Oscars, or even the Oscars plus one of the three major European film festivals!

At this time, most people in the domestic film industry felt that Lin Nan was a little too crazy. Why was he in such a hurry?

…………

Everything was ready before filming started.

"I announce: "Manchester by the Sea" has officially started filming!"

As Lin Nan shouted, the entire crew immediately took action.

After the "action", Leonardo appeared in the camera with a decadent makeup.

Whether it is temperament or facial expression, it gives people a lifeless feeling, revealing a sense of death and twilight.

Especially the look in his eyes, as if he has become numb to everything in life. His body is still alive, but his heart and soul are long dead.

Lin Nan could see that Leonardo really took the risk this time, a bit completely self-inflicted.

He was able to pass almost all shots within three shots. When mistakes were made, most of them were due to supporting actors.

…

Once the crew started working, time passed very quickly like water.

In the blink of an eye, the day is over.

After Lin Nan returned home and had a video call with Liu Yifei, who was still moaning and groaning, the news started.

The film bureau's official website already has the registration information for "Xiu Chun Knife 2", and Lin Nan Pictures' Weibo also announced the casting list.

""Xiuchundao 2 Shura Battlefield", a costume martial arts movie.

Producer: Lin Nan Pictures;

Director: Lu Yang;

Producer: Liu Yifei;

Screenwriters: Lin Nan, Lu Yang;

Main actors: Zhang Zhen, Shu Chang, Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, Xin Zhilei, Jin Shijie..."

A piece of movie registration information and a casting list made the film and television industry turn their attention to Yang Mi.

Compared with the first "Xiu Chun Dao", the investment for this second part has doubled.

It really lives up to the old saying: When people leave, the tea cools down.

In "Xiu Chun Dao 2", which obviously requires greater investment and better production, the heroine was replaced by Shu Chang.

If it were another actress, people in the industry might feel that she was downgraded and it would be better to continue using Yang Mi, but Shu Chang is different.

Among actresses born in 1985, she made her debut as a child star, with many works like an "old drama star", and many high-quality and popular TV series!

The most important thing is that she has the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actress. She has both strength and connections. How can Yang Mi compare?

The announcement of the cast list of "Xiu Chun Knife 2" has made Yang Mi the subject of discussion and ridicule by many people in the industry.

There are even competing companies or artists who use this to be weird, almost openly provoking and ridiculing.

"Mimi, we also need to form our own marketing team. I can see that if you start your own company, you can't be careless in this area.

Regardless of whether there is a work or not, the publicity and marketing team must not fall behind. Even if we are attacked or hacked, we still have the power to fight back..."

Zeng Jia said to Yang Mi with a dark face.

"Xiuchundao 2" only announced the cast list, but the leading actress in Jiaxing was hacked into a sieve.

"Well, it's up to you."

Yang Mi also gritted her teeth and said, how could she not know who did it? Such a familiar routine!

Tang Dynasty's "Bu Bu Jing Qing" has set a premiere date on April 22, and it came out together with the news of "Xiu Chun Dao 2".

Later, she was criticized by many press releases on the Internet, and compared with other actresses born in 1985, she was criticized. It was Yang Mi who was criticized!

"If you have the ability, why don't you dare to step on Liu Yifei and Shu Chang? Cai Yinong."

…………

The crew of "Manchester by the Sea" continues filming.

The most difficult shot is still placed in the front.

When Leonardo saw Matt Damon's whitish "remains", the acting exploded at this moment.

The silent performance reawakens the deepest and greatest pain buried in the heart.

After years of escaping, another close relative left... just as painful as when he lost his own child due to his own fault.

"Click!"

As Lin Nan's voice fell, Matt Damon sat up instantly.

With that "make-up", suddenly sitting up from the morgue, it really looked like he was pretending to be a corpse.

"Leon, you are really into the role! My character is not completely 'dead', there are still many scenes in memories later. Hahaha..."

Sure enough, Leonardo was seen in a decadent and lifeless state, with red and swollen eyes and tears. Although silent, his emotions continued to infect everyone.

This is the look of being extremely sad, but holding back.

It's the feeling that after endless repressed emotions have accumulated over time, I can't hold them back and want to vent them, but I have long forgotten how to vent them and can't vent them.

This is the definition of the male protagonist. His psychology and spirit are like a patient who has been suffering from serious illness for many years. Like a sealed powder keg, he will collapse and self-destruct at any time.

Leonardo's performance is already wonderful.

"It's okay, I'll just pretend that you're gone in reality and rehearse what it will be like when I attend your funeral in the future."

Leonardo wiped his tears with a tissue and continued to criticize Matt. He was recovering from his emotions.

…

One day of shooting has come to an end.

When Lin Nan dragged his tired body back to the villa, he was really tired.

But if he wanted to finish the filming within a month, or even ahead of schedule, he had to do this.

Fortunately, the leading actors were willing to cooperate with him.

"Sissi, I'm so sleepy."

Lin Nan said softly after picking up Liu Yifei's video call.

"Then I'll sing you to sleep?"

In the video, Liu Yifei is changing clothes. Well, the video started late.

"Are you going out?"

"Yes, the school wants trophies and certificates. I will take them over today to take pictures. Don't worry, I will bring them back as I brought them. Hum, I will never take sugar-coated bullets!"

"What's yours is all yours. Right? Haha..."

"OK."

It wasn't until Liu Yifei took the driver's seat that Lin Nan asked her to turn off the video and not be distracted while driving.

Just when Lin Nan was about to go to bed early, another call came in.

After seeing the caller ID, he immediately cheered up.

Because it was Cao Guowei's call, no need to think about it, it must be something serious.

"Dr. Cao?"

"Director Lin, congratulations again on winning the Oscar. Is your film schedule going smoothly in Hollywood?"

"It went very smoothly. I will be able to return to China in about April."

Upon hearing this time, Cao Guowei immediately laughed out loud, sounding very cheerful.

"Good April, good April, haha..."

"Director Cao, you'd better get down to business." Lin Nan also urged with a smile.

On the other end of the phone, Cao Guowei calmed down and said solemnly: "Director Lin, we are preparing to issue a prospectus and start a road show..."

really!

Lin Nan's heart skipped a beat, followed by joy.

Issuing the prospectus and starting the road show means that the listing journey has officially begun.

The final launch time will be within one to two months!

"Okay, it's finally time to start. So what can I do?"

Lin Nan endured the excitement in her heart and asked.

"The purpose of calling Director Lin is to talk about this matter. The prospectus will disclose your shareholding ratio.

Also, if Director Lin is interested, come and ring the bell together, haha..."

"Ring the bell?"

Lin Nan shook his head and said jokingly: "It's okay for me to yell, but ringing the bell is okay."

…………

In this movie, I tried to have as little plot as possible and just watch it in one go.
