Chapter 1051 Jackie Chan Who Doesn’t Care About His Life; Guest Appearance and Gifts

Just after landing in Shanghai, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei saw the news about an old acquaintance;

Matt Damon and Alicia Vikander will arrive in the capital tomorrow afternoon and attend the Asian premiere press conference of "Jason Bourne" the day after tomorrow morning.

To be honest, for the imported film "Jason Bourne" which will be released on the 23rd, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei did not think that Matt Damon and other main creators would come to China to promote it.

But now it turns out that they were wrong. After 9 years, Matt returned to the "Jason Bourne" series. It seems that Matt still attaches great importance to it.

"Director Lin, Producer Liu, the venue of the group's dinner this time is on the Bund, and the star-rated hotel prepared for you two is also there."

There are not many people in the industry who can be picked up by the chairman, so the people from Shanghai Film Studio are smiling and very respectful at the moment.

"Well, thank you. Let's go now."

Lin Nan winked at Liu Yifei, and she understood instantly. The family can go back to the hotel to rest for a while and go out for a walk in the afternoon.

It was nearly ten o'clock, when the two business cars drove away from Hongqiao Airport, Ren Zhonglun was having a headache at Shanghai Film Studio.

He frowned and looked at Jackie Chan sitting opposite him. For a moment, he really didn't know how to complain and refuse him. After a while, he simply gave up the idea of ​​refusing politely, after all, this was Jackie Chan.

But even so, he couldn't help but vent his complaints in his heart, and he couldn't help but vent them:

"To be honest, if you want to bring him along, there is really no problem in principle. But you have to be mentally prepared for the strange looks that people in the circle give him, even alienation and indifference.

Because there will definitely be official leaders present tonight, including several leaders from the General Administration and the Film Bureau, they will all be there. You should weigh it yourself and take good care of him when the time comes."

Hearing this, Jackie Chan showed a helpless smile on his face. Then, he nodded and said:

"Thank you, Mr. Ren, for your understanding. I will take good care of him. I think with all my connections over the years and my contributions to Chinese-language films, a dinner party shouldn't hurt my reputation too much."

Seeing that the other party still had this attitude, Ren Zhonglun didn't want to say anything more, and the topic ended here. "I heard that you signed several more movies in one go, and are they all in preparation?"

"Yes. Mr. Ren, rest assured, the distribution business of these movies will all be distributed by Shanghai Film Group."

Jackie Chan nodded in response, and the whole person seemed to fall into a state of fatigue in an instant, and most of his energy and spirit were gone.

"Why bother?"

"You have to sign it. Let's shoot it while you can still move. I will join the crew of "The Mystery of Dragon Seal" at the end of the month. This is a co-production between China Film and Russia. President La attaches great importance to it.

In addition, "Detective Pu Songling" has also begun preparations. After "The Mystery of Dragon Seal" is finished, I will rest for half a month to a month, and then I can seamlessly join the crew again..."

Ren Zhonglun's mouth was twitching. Jackie Chan is simply playing with his life. Action scenes are indispensable in his movies.

"Your "Blood Machine" only started shooting last month. It is impossible to finish it without four Mays.

It means that you have to fly back and forth between it and the crew of "The Mystery of Dragon Seal" to finish it before "Detective Pu Songling"? You are one year older than me, 63 years old, are you going to die?"

As Ren Zhonglun's voice fell, the office suddenly became silent, and it was unusually silent; Jackie Chan opened his mouth several times but couldn't say anything, and finally only a sigh sounded.

"Director Ren, I won't delay the promotion of Railroad Tigers."

...

At noon, sitting under a parasol, drinking coffee and enjoying the breeze. Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Tang Yan and Luo Jin, the four of them rarely get together.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, looking at the river in the distance, the few people are quite comfortable for a while.

"It is rare for things in the mainland film and television industry to spread abroad and cause a sensation. Wang Baoqiang's this time is unprecedented, and even the BBC is publishing a long article to follow up on the report."

"You are really idle, and you are paying attention to the BBC news." Lin Nan laughed and complained about Luo Jin.

"He is quite idle, and he is becoming more and more homebound." Tang Yan took over the conversation and added a knife.

"Well, staying at home is good, free and relaxed..."

Pushing the sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, Liu Yifei "supported" the home party, she and Lin Nan are not like this.

While talking, the waiter started to serve the dishes; Luo Jin, who took the initiative to treat the guests, has no shortcomings!

The four of them have already made plans for the afternoon. That's right, Tang Yan and Luo Jin, the two hosts, will accompany them, and everyone will take their assistants to go for a stroll together...

It has been proven that no one's news during this period can replace Wang Baoqiang's status and popularity on the entire network platform.

Even though Lin Nan and the other four were followed by paparazzi for a long time in the afternoon and contributed a lot of photos and short videos; but in the Weibo hot search, they can only rank in the top ten, not in the top five.

Because the first place is Wang Baoqiang's column, and the second to fourth places are people in the circle who keep jumping out to support him;

As for the fifth place, it is the special news of the Olympics that should have been the focus of the whole country...This year's session is really a bit miserable, being "overwhelmed".

So much so that some big TV commentators are publicly scolding Wang Baoqiang: a country bumpkin and a vase!

Well, then he was scolded by the whole network to delete the post...

In the afternoon, the four people on Lin Nan's side ate and drank and strolled around. The guests of the Shanghai Film Festival celebration dinner also arrived in Shanghai and stayed at the hotel.

Han Jianu followed Han Sanping, and the whole person had completely lost the previous fatigue state, and was replaced by high spirits.

Because her first feature film script was finally finalized after two rounds of proofreading by herself!

"I wanted to scold you just now, at least give Chen Kaige a little face, you can chat with Zhang Mo and Ma Sichun, but you ignore his son."

"What is there to say hello to that little brat?"

Hearing the complaint of her father, Han Jianu directly refuted.

They are all children and relatives of big directors, but Chen Kaige's son seems like a child without his own opinion. He is timid in his words and deeds, and his eyes seem to be asking for his father's opinion at any time.

"Okay, I can't argue with you. Hey, who are you calling now?"

"Yifei. Ask them where they are. I'll go find them and go with them in the evening. You can go by yourself..."

Before she finished her words, Han Jianu ran out with her phone, leaving Han Sanye alone speechless.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Nan and others walked through the red carpet and the sea of ​​people and arrived at the open-air dinner on the Bund.

Tong Gang, Zhang Hongsen, La Peikang, Han Sanping... Mr. Zhu's son, the leaders of Shanghai Film City...

Looking around, the dinner of Shanghai Film Group was no worse than the dinner of China Film Group a week ago, and even had a lot more financial and Internet capital.

That's right, the neon lights of Shanghai Film City are more gorgeous than those of the capital, and this is the place where capital prefers more.

Tonight, Han Sanping brought his daughter, Zhang Yimou brought his daughter, Gu Changwei and Jiang Wenli brought their niece, Chen Kaige and Chen Hong brought their son, Jackie Chan... Jackie Chan, he actually?

"Is Big Brother crazy?"

Ning Hao squeezed next to Lin Nan and Liu Yifei and whispered.

The two looked over and saw Jackie Chan leading people, smiling and greeting many big names and even leaders.

Although everyone was very considerate of his face, their expressions were more or less stiff. They were probably caught off guard, right?

Especially Tong Gang and Zhang Hongsen in the distance, they were completely serious; while La Peikang looked at Ren Zhonglun with strange eyes, and the latter shook his head slightly, helpless.

Only Han Sanping was the most experienced, as if he didn't see Jackie Chan and the others. After a glance, he continued to chat and laugh with Huang Jianxin.

"Jackie Chan is not crazy. I just heard him recommending the one from his family." Han Jianu said in a low voice, with a hint of surprise in her tone.

"Recommend? This, is it lifted?" Liu Yifei was stunned, and her beautiful eyes were full of questions.

"No way? That movie was hidden so well, and it exploded now?" Ning Hao's voice was so low that the second half of the sentence was almost inaudible.

Lin Nan looked at Jackie Chan and the other man who were greeting Tong Gang, and couldn't help but frown.

"It's not a recommendation for acting, it seems to be to be a director, Jackie Chan is paving the way for directing. The document in the bureau only said to ban actors, but not to ban practitioners behind the scenes!"

Han Jianu's words shocked Lin Nan and others immediately.

"Good guy, big brother is really 'never abandon, never give up'! Selling his face openly, he wants his family to turn behind the scenes to be a director... After that, his lifelong resources can be passed on in various ways?"

Ning Hao's exclamation was also the thought in the minds of Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Han Jianu and Luo Jin. It was indeed a roundabout way.

It's just that what Tong Gang, Zhang Hongsen and others felt in their hearts is not something that others can guess; but it is likely that they are a little disgusted, right? After all, Jackie Chan directly "confronted" them.

"Lin Nan, there will be a meeting in the bureau on the morning of the 26th. Remember to come on time." At this time, Zhang Hongsen came over and said that he had something to say.

"Only me? Director Ning is also here."

"Yes, only you." Zhang Hongsen glanced at Ning Hao and the others and said affirmatively.

At this time, Director Ning and the others immediately became curious. Liu Yifei was also a little confused and waited for the next step.

"Director Zhang, what's the matter? Let me know." Lin Nan said with a grin. When the head teacher notifies you to go to the office, even if you are a good student, you will inevitably have doubts in your heart.

"Good thing." Zhang Hongsen smiled and stopped talking.

In his opinion, it is better to tell Lin Nan to go to the Film Bureau in person than to tell him in person; notifying in person will appear more "serious" and make Lin Nan "pay more attention".

"Okay, Director Zhang. I will be there on time."

Seeing that Zhang Hongsen was unwilling to reveal more, Lin Nan did not ask any more questions and nodded in agreement.

But when the former turned and walked away, several people saw Han Jianu frowning and looking at the back, muttering: "Why do I have a bad feeling? Is it really a good thing?"

At a dinner party, Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Ning Hao, Wang Changtian, etc., all the upper-level capital in the circle were "turned" in front of Jackie Chan and his people.

He is just like Zhang Yimou, who has completely let go of his status and is trying every means to sell his face and pave the way. But to be honest, the situation is different. His daughter really can't compare with the daughter of the "national teacher"!

…………

"This morning, the large-scale costume, palace, and power drama "The Lonely Queen" produced by Huace Film and starring Zhong Hanliang, Yang Ying, Gan Tingting, Yu Bo, Sun Yizhou and others held a wrap-up ceremony at Hengdian Film and Television City and closed successfully."

“After 8 days of release, the Hong Kong film “Line Walker” has earned 480 million yuan; “Dangerous City” and “Love O2O” have been released for a week, and the daily box office performance is weak, closing at 140 million and 210 million yuan respectively...”

“The Venice International Film Festival and the San Sebastian International Film Festival are about to open. Many Chinese-language films and crews, dozens of actors and stars in the industry have set off today... There will be a steady stream of Chinese-language filmmakers leaving in succession...”

“The famous actor Zhang Ziyi has gone to the Toronto International Film Festival today, 20 days in advance. She is a judge for the main competition unit of this year's Toronto International Film Festival!”

“The fourth online voting for the four young actresses in the mainland has entered full swing. Currently, the popular young actress Zheng Yan has surpassed the actress Zhou Dongyu from Mou Girl and ranked first...”

Leaning on the chair, Lin Nan felt a little headache and dizzy, and was still yawning. This is a typical lack of sleep. Looking at Ning Hao beside him, he was the same. After all, both of them flew back overnight last night.

"Lin Nan, your phone call."

Just as she dozed off, Ning Hao woke her up. Lin Nan squinted and glanced at the screen of her phone. It was Liu Yifei's phone call.

"Xixi, why are you calling when you're not sleeping?"

Looking like she hadn't woken up at all, Liu Yifei hummed with a distinct nasal tone, "Red Star Wu called me... Bazaar..."

"Oh, they're so annoying... Go to sleep quickly and turn off your phone."

"Oh, Lin Nan, I'll sleep then... Call me..."

After hanging up the phone, Ning Hao teased Lin Nan before he could complain:

"Yifei in your family is really a princess' body and life, but she's a little sleepy. You're in the company, why are you calling her to get up and call her? But you asked her to turn off her phone?"

"Call her when you get back at noon."

"Good fellow, it's really the treatment of a princess. You two better not mention this kind of treatment in front of our big screenwriter, otherwise it will alienate our relationship!" Ning Hao warned her seriously.

"Does comparison hurt?"

"Yes."

"Oh, you're so nice."

Near noon, Wang Changtian called Lin Nan again. There were more and more online trolls, all helping Ma Jinlian to clean up the mess. So, Director Lin could only use some "administrator" privileges. Well, the effect was very good!

Lin Nan originally thought that he could meet with Matt Damon, but his schedule didn't seem to allow it.

Because the latter can only arrive in the evening, he will have to fly to Korea immediately after attending the premiere press conference tomorrow morning; and Director Lin will go to pick up his mother-in-law at the airport tomorrow morning, so everyone can only wait until the premiere of "The Great Wall" to see each other again!

As expected, Liu Yifei really slept until after 12 o'clock. When she opened her eyes and saw the first sentence of Lin Nan, she almost laughed to death: "I'm hungry."

Another day passed in a hurry.

There were many entertainment reporters and paparazzi at the Capital Airport on the morning of the 20th. Because there are more and more crews and stars going abroad recently, they stay here and have a lot of "harvest" every day.

In Lin Nan's eyes, Liu Yifei's temperament is definitely the best among actresses. But every time he sees Liu Xiaoli, he can't help but tease Miss Liu:

"You are firmly suppressed by your own mother. I don't know if you can achieve this kind of spring breeze temperament in this life."

At this time, Liu Qianqian always rolls her eyes and twists Lin Nan: "I can't learn my mother's spring breeze, but it's no problem to suppress you!"

"Mom, I haven't seen you for more than half a year. You look a lot younger now."

Lin Nan ran to Liu Xiaoli, and while taking the suitcase, he naturally flattered her. Liu Yifei followed closely behind, and glanced at Director Lin with "contempt".

"Where is it, I'm almost 60, haha..." Although she said so, Liu Xiaoli was smiling.

"Lin Nan is right. Mom, you don't look old at all. Let's get in the car quickly. Those reporters have spotted us."

Liu Yifei agreed with a smile, picked up Liu Xiaoli's arm and walked towards the parking direction. Lin Nan pulled the box and protected it on the side.

In less than a moment, a group of paparazzi surrounded them and blocked the business car of Hongxingwu.

"Give me face, next time." Lin Nan waved his hand and said with a smile.

A group of entertainment reporters and paparazzi stopped immediately after hearing this, and even laughed and negotiated: "Director Lin, you have to calculate the interest, nine out of thirteen, next time..."

On the way home, Lin Nan and the other two were on the way home, and on the other side, the premiere of "Jason Bourne 5" also entered the interview session. Although Director Lin did not go, his name was not missing at the scene.

The reason is that the media asked Matt Damon a question;

When the reporter asked Matt why he could always find good roles and good movies, he immediately smiled and gave an answer that satisfied everyone:

"The secret of my always finding good roles and good movies is to choose a good director. Twenty years of film career has taught me that the director is the core of the movie...except for popcorn movies.

Like Lin, he is a top-notch director who has brought me several trophies. Well, I have to thank Leon.

In fact, if it weren't for the director, I wouldn't return to the "Bourne" series. He helped me, so I came back. Of course, Lin also invited me to play a supporting role or a guest appearance for him before, and I agreed without any hesitation. I have been waiting for his call..."

Matt Damon's big mouth pushed Lin Nan to the forefront of the film industry.

Because he revealed the news of a movie directed by Lin Nan, he would make a cameo or a supporting role! Isn't this a top-notch cake? I just don't know if it is a foreign language movie or a Chinese language movie?

"Have you invited Matt to make a cameo in a movie?"

After returning home, Liu Yifei saw the news and immediately asked Lin Nan about it. Liu Xiaoli had already gone to prepare lunch, and she wanted to cook for her daughter and son-in-law herself...

"It was in Hollywood at the beginning of the year. I not only invited Matt, but also Leon." Lin Nan would naturally not hide anything from Liu Yifei.

"What movie?" Miss Liu was instantly curious. It would be amazing to put Matt Damon and Leonardo in a movie at the same time.

"It's the "Wandering Earth" series that is currently writing the script. The script will be out around the end of the year. Well, it took a whole year!"

At this point, Lin Nan suddenly remembered something.

When Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio are called over to "guest star", they can only be guest stars, not supporting roles.

Even if their roles are as supporting roles, they must be guest stars when the cast list is marked. Because others come for his face and favors, he naturally cannot "damage" the status of the two.

So, it can only be a guest star!

"Wow, that's really a big movie, I'm a little looking forward to it." Liu Yifei said with a smile.

...

In a flash, three days have passed, and the movie version of "Love O2O" is still struggling to survive, while the TV version is about to start.

It has to be said that in terms of online reputation, the latter is really better than the former.

At the same time, the circle is also voting for the four little beauties... With the blessing of these many factors, Zheng Yan's popularity will inevitably step on Yang Ying and soar along with the reputation of the TV series!

Early in the morning, Yue Jun took people to attend the press conference of the 33rd Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award held in the capital, which was also the announcement ceremony of the nomination list.

So when Lin Nan arrived at the company, he did not see Yue Jun, but Reba was in the company.

"She is nervous now." Ning Hao joked beside him with a thermos cup.

"What is she nervous about?" Facing Lin Nan's doubts, Reba smiled and felt a little embarrassed.

"She is nervous about the nomination of the Hundred Flowers Award for a while. It seems that she seems to have hope?" Ning Hao smiled meaningfully, but his eyes glanced at Director Lin.

Lin Nan could see that Ning Hao had guessed something. So, he stopped pretending and said to Reba:

"Don't worry, you will be nominated and it will come out in a while."

"Director Lin, do I need to prepare an acceptance speech in advance?"

Reba looked at Lin Nan excitedly and asked something that made Lin Nan and Ning Hao laugh instantly.

"Haha... this kid is really looking forward to winning an award next month?"

"No need to prepare."

After hearing what Lin Nan said, Reba, who had just been excited, immediately sobered up. "Oh, that's not bad, she's nominated. She's better than many people in our school.",

"Take your time, follow your Director Lin and Producer Liu, and you'll get something sooner or later."

Ning Hao teased Reba, while Lin Nan was attracted by the sudden call.

"Boss Wang, what's the matter?" That's right, it was a call from Wang Changtian.

"Good news! Bring your Yifei here to receive the gift now."

In an instant, not only Lin Nan, but also Ning Hao and Reba beside him cast curious eyes.

"What gift?" Although there was a guess in his mind, Lin Nan still asked with a smile.

"You and Yifei's wedding anniversary gift, and... you can give it to Yifei as a birthday gift! What does Director Lin think? Haha..."

"I thought? I thought Director Wang was very stingy. We have known each other for so many years, and you just remembered to give me a gift."

"Hehe, whether you want it or not, come quickly if you want it, forget it if you don't want it. This just came out of customs..."

Hearing the word "customs", Lin Nan instantly became energetic. This means that the price is definitely not cheap.

"Wait, I'll go back to pick up Yifei!"

Hanging up the phone, without paying attention to Ning Hao and Reba next to him, Lin Nan walked out immediately.

"Hey, this person has no manners at all, and didn't ask me to go and see it together."

"Director Ning, Director Wang's gift is for Director Lin and Sister Yifei, not for you, what are you doing there." Reba handed over the knife weakly.
