That year Huayu

Only when you are abroad during the Lunar New Year can you realize how influential "New Year's Eve" and "Spring Festival" are around the world.

It’s really a culture that attracts worldwide attention, a big event!

Even here in Hollywood, you can see a lot of Spring Festival couplets, paper-cuts, and the word "福" in black characters on a red background, most of which are Chinese characters.

It's no wonder that the stick next door is always deliberately "stealing"!

When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei went shopping in the afternoon, they specifically looked for shops that sold these things, and planned to do the same in their villa.

It's just that the Spring Festival couplets and blessing papers are just semi-finished products.

On a whim, Liu Yifei decided to write Spring Festival couplets and the word "福" directly at the scene.

Director Lin Da stood on the side, watching Liu Yifei's "calligraphy" performance with a half-smile.

To be fair, he felt that Ms. Liu's writing was quite average, but he did not dare to comment.

"Lin Nan, look, it's not bad, right?"

In the shop, Liu Yifei held a writing brush in one hand and asked Lin Nan with a smile. On the table was the word "福" she had just written.

"Well, the pen walks like a dragon, it's pleasing to the eye. I'll stick it up when I get back soon!"

Lin Nan said with a smile on his face sincerely and against his will.

The Chinese boss on the side also nodded hurriedly. He was still waiting to take a photo with the two of them.

Ten minutes later, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei walked out of the store with a few assistants; what Director Lin was carrying was Producer Liu's calligraphy masterpiece!

"Lin Nan, we've almost bought everything, let's go home?"

"Let's go home. Tom is also urging us. He has delivered the ingredients."

Lin Nan responded, and what follows is his big project - New Year's Eve dinner!

"Hehe, can I help you?"

…………

Holding the apology meeting on the morning of New Year's Eve is really eye-opening.

Prince Long faced nearly 300 media outlets alone in the capital and held a large-scale press conference. The entertainment information even reached Hollywood.

At around six o'clock in the afternoon, that is, ten o'clock in the morning domestic time, Lin Nan had nothing to do and started the live broadcast.

He couldn't help feeling that the scene of this apology meeting was really "spectacular"!

Because of all the movies he directed, none of them had a premiere that could match the amount of media present at the premiere of The Dragon Prince!

"Is this Jackie Chan's son?"

Matt Damon's sudden voice startled Lin Nan.

"Matt, why are you here?"

"Lin, isn't it your New Year's Eve today? I'm here to see you and Crystal."

Hearing this, Lin Nan was really flattered.

He looked at a bottle of red wine and a bottle of champagne in Matt Damon's arms, and quickly took them, "Just bring one bottle, Matt."

"No, Lin. I only brought one bottle, and someone else asked me to bring the other bottle." Matt Damon smiled and shook his head.

"Leon? Jessica?"

"No. It's the little girl who works with me on the same crew. Didn't you say she's your sister? She asked me to bring you that bottle of champagne. To celebrate you winning the Golden Bear Award in Berlin, and to wish us success Keep winning gold at the Oscars.”

Lin Nan looked at the large bottle of champagne in his hand, "Tiantian?"

"Well, it's her. She took the flight yesterday morning and has already left Hollywood. She asked me to bring it to you when she left."

Matt Damon explained, then added:

"The training before the filming of "The Great Wall" has ended ahead of schedule. Next month, we will have to adapt to the outdoor locations and green screens for a period of time, and then the filming will officially start."

"Well, I understand. I will thank her in person when I return to China."

Lin Nan put the two bottles of wine on the dining table and said something back to Matt.

"By the way, where's Crystal? Why didn't you see her?" Matt Damon finally reacted.

Hearing this, Lin Nan shouted directly to the innermost area on the first floor of the villa:

"Sissy, Matt is here."

As the sound echoed in the villa, Liu Yifei also came out of the kitchen.

Then, Lin Nan and Matt Damon were stunned for a second before they both laughed.

I saw that Liu Yifei's hands were covered with flour, and her face, nose and forehead were also stained with white flour, and a few strands of black hair were hanging down. The same was true, and she was very embarrassed.

She looked so stupid at this time, with confusion and confusion in her eyes as Lin Nan and Matt laughed.

In Lin Nan's opinion, the Liu Yifei in front of her was simply "stupid", cute and pitiable.

"Isn't it just a date? Did you fall in? Hahaha..."

"ah?"

After realizing it, Miss Liu glanced at the mirror in the living room and suddenly felt bad, so she rushed back to the kitchen.

"Lin Nan, come here, I quit!"

"But, isn't this what you said you wanted to do? You even chose a job as a noodle maker..."

Lin Nan said as he walked towards the kitchen. Matt Damon followed suit with a smile on his face.

The kitchen was in a mess, and it seemed that Liu Yifei was really "attentive".

"Okay, I'll do it. Just wash up and wait to eat."

Lin Nan handed the towel to Liu Yifei, who looked frustrated, and the latter decisively accepted her fate; because Matt was also there, she was a little embarrassed and embarrassed to be seen.

"Matt, do you want to have dinner? There are dumplings and Chinese food tonight." Lin Nan invited.

"No. I know that your New Year's Eve is a holiday for your family to be together, so I won't disturb your world."

Hearing this, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei couldn't help but glance at Matt Damon. This guy knows a lot! I'm afraid you had to know more about it before coming here, right?

The three of them just stayed in the kitchen chatting. Of course, Lin Nan had to be busy with the New Year's Eve dinner.

After an hour, Matt Damon left decisively. If you stay any longer, the first dish will be ready!

…………

Hollywood time, 8 p.m.

Four meat and vegetables, a plate of dumplings, a few snacks, pastries, and a fruit plate were placed on the dining table.

The red wine sent by Matt Damon was opened directly by Liu Yifei. It was paired with two crystal glasses and sparkled under the light of the living room.

"Lin Nan, come to me, let's take a selfie. I want to post it on Weibo..." Miss Liu called to Lin Nan excitedly.

Director Lin has a look of despair on his face, and Producer Liu wants to take a selfie again! I have to take him with me!

Three minutes later, Liu Yifei posted a photo of the two of them with a table of food:

"Director Lin personally cooks the New Year's Eve dinner for everyone eight hours in advance... Well, everyone tastes it first..."

It's past 12 noon in China right now, and within five minutes of Liu Yifei's Weibo update, the Internet went viral.

"Let us taste it by looking at the photos? Liu Yifei, are you going too far?"

While Zhou Xun said "rejection", she also posted a photo, showing her wearing an apron at home, which is very rare. It seems that he is also busy at home.

"I just want to know how much Yifei contributed to this table of delicious food? How much help did she give to Director Lin?"

"Master, I answered for her with just one sentence: 'Haha, she will only be a disservice.' This is what Shu Chang said, just said it!" Luo Jin joined in the fun.

"Directors Golden Lion and Golden Bear personally cooked the New Year's Eve dinner... I really want to try it. We, Producer Liu, are just showing off! Everyone, please leave and don't let her succeed!"

"I didn't, I didn't say, Luo Jin slandered me! Sissi is quite good at cooking... She can boil water and cook instant noodles..."

"There are only 5 days left until the Oscars. You two should spend this New Year's Eve hard! We are waiting to celebrate you!"

"Tsk, tsk, Zhu Yawen is suddenly so good at talking? Do you feel that your thighs are getting thicker and thicker, and there are more and more competitors, getting bigger and bigger? So, you have to start flattering?"

"A housewife? Lin Nan, we can't do this..."

…

There was a lot of food and it tasted good, but Lin Nan and Liu Yifei only ate a little bit.

But the bottle of red wine was finished by two people.

You want to say drunk? That is impossible! But the two of them were a little "drunk"!

The table was not cleared, the dishes were not cleared, the kitchen was not cleared... Lin Nan and Liu Yifei went to wash up happily.

At night, before ten o'clock.

The moonlight in the sky is bright and charming, but the bright lights in the room have been extinguished and turned into dim fireflies.

There is a hint of fire in the sweet air;

The silence was accompanied by gasps and murmurs that were suppressed.

Liu Yifei's voice is like the sound of a kitten, appearing and disappearing, making people addicted and excited...

…………

I used to hear the Spring Festival Gala after eight o'clock in the evening.

Lying in bed early in the morning watching the Spring Festival Gala live broadcast, this was the first time for Lin Nan, and it felt a little fresh inexplicably.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.

The Spring Festival Gala is getting worse every year, but it is still being held and will not stop in the future.

Perhaps one of the most important reasons for this is the overseas Chinese. The Spring Festival Gala is a thought, always reminding them where their roots are or where their emotions are!

Just like at this moment, Lin Nan clearly knew that the Spring Festival Gala was terrible. If he were in China, he would never watch it.

But he was in Hollywood at the moment and couldn't help but turn on the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala.

"Well, Shen Teng and Ma Li's anti-corruption skit was pretty good..."

Just as Lin Nan was muttering, Liu Yifei woke up from under the covers, and her snow-white shoulders were exposed.

She squinted her eyes slightly, her long hair scattered behind her head, looked at Lin Nan who sat up, and muttered after a few seconds:

"Noisy to my sleep...I'll let you go this morning..."

"Sissi, I did it on purpose.

The assistant just called. You have to try on a dress this morning. It's for the Oscars red carpet.

In addition, Warner and Nolan have also informed us of the red carpet arrangements and meeting place for the "Interstellar" crew..."

Hearing what Lin Nan was talking about, Liu Yifei suddenly woke up due to a conditioned reflex.

"Lin Nan, you and I are separated this time..."

"Well, you're with the crew of "Interstellar" and I'm with the crew of "Manchester By the Sea."

I told Nolan that your makeup will still be done here, and then we will set off early to meet them.

I just don’t know if the two crews are close or far apart after entering the scene? "
