Chapter 332

Tom sent Liu Yifei directly to the set.

"Haven't seen you for three days, did you miss me?"

Miss Liu spoke in Mandarin as soon as she opened her mouth, sitting beside Lin Nan and asking directly.

Most of the people around couldn't understand, and a very small number were amused.

"Missed you, is this answer satisfactory?" Lin Nan smiled.

"Mm, it's passable."

For a whole afternoon, Liu Yifei stayed by Lin Nan's side, watching a group of people filming.

The male lead played by Leonardo was repeatedly questioned for new things.

Those things he called forced concealment, things for everyone's good, were "interrogated" out one by one.

Every new lie needed another lie to demonstrate and support it.

The police searched for the missing young boy within a radius of more than ten kilometers.

On the side of the road eight kilometers away from home, they found traces of a two-car collision, but there was no police report record.

It was also that day that the boy's father helped a female driver who "hit an elk" nearby; she had great suspicion.

But the tire marks at the scene showed that there was definitely another car, not an elk.

The police found the male lead through the license plate number, but the car had already been "voluntarily scrapped" by them at the first opportunity.

And the first thing after returning, the male lead called the police claiming that the car was stolen while parked in the parking lot that day.

The alibi had been prepared very well early on, but without a parking voucher, he still couldn't completely get rid of the suspicion.

After a few more days of filming, the film reached the climax of the second half.

The male lead played by Leonardo seemed impeccable every time he spoke, but "flaws" were picked out, so he continued to justify himself.

Liu Yifei had already handled all the announcements from foreign brands.

But she was thinking about returning to the country with Lin Nan, so she let the two assistants go back first, taking the New Year holiday in advance.

Liu Yifei followed Lin Nan, going to the set or the film's cocktail party every day, playing and having fun, very fulfilling.

It's just that she might have been too fulfilled with Lin Nan on the set, and for more than half a month, she didn't think to call her mother.

The final result was that at this moment, Miss Liu was answering Liu Xiaoli's phone call and was being scolded well.

A proper leaky cotton-padded jacket, and she even implicated Lin Nan.

Lin Nan sat on the sofa, listening to the sound from Liu Yifei's phone, with a helpless smile on his face.

Liu Xiaoli had a set of ways to scold her own daughter, without leaving any face at all.

"I know you have been independent since you were young and have strong wings, but this is not an excuse for you not to make a single phone call for more than half a month..."

"He is filming, are you also filming?"

Liu Yifei stuck her tongue out at Lin Nan and spoke softly:

"Mom, I was wrong. Lin Nan and I are on the set every day and haven't run around; you know how much of a homebody I am..."

After another round of criticism, Liu Xiaoli let her daughter go.

Finally, she also instructed Lin Nan to let the two return to the country early after finishing the film.

"I now make a phone call or send a text message back every week to ten days, haha..."

Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei and teased with a smile.

"You still say that, it was just this once. If you laugh again, don't enter my room tonight."

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and unleashed a big move. Then, under Lin Nan's "submissive" expression, she hummed a song and went to the second floor.

"Am I, being manipulated by Miss Liu?"

Looking at Liu Yifei's slender back, Lin Nan read a sentence with a smile, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Oscar public relations had already entered the final step, and all nominated films were just one step away.

At this time, Hollywood could be described as singing and dancing every night, with cocktail parties and parties constantly.

Every day there were invitations sent to *The Invisible Guest* crew, and the main creative team were all invitees.

The two actresses also had to go to their own film's cocktail parties from time to time, but it wouldn't affect the film's shooting here at all.

The crew filmed the things that happened two and a half months ago in the male lead's mouth.

The lover character Laura played by Jessica had stolen the work ID of the dead boy back then.

Because she discovered that this boy worked at the same bank as her banker husband.

To cover up the boy's death more thoroughly, she secretly used her husband's computer, logged into the boy's account, and transferred a large sum of money from the bank into the boy's private account.

So the boy who went missing three months ago changed from missing to absconding with money after only half a month, and the boy's mother fell ill because of this.

But the boy's father firmly believed that his son would not do things like absconding with money; he thought of many things:

The accident scene was SUV brake marks, Laura's car model was also an SUV, the men's lighter seen when repairing the car, Laura adjusted the car seat when driving away.

From these details, he judged that someone else was driving the car before it broke down, a man.

And Laura's words, deeds, and demeanor in their home were also very suspicious.

He suspected that the other car at the accident scene was his son's car;

He suspected that the male lead and his lover Laura knew everything, including where his son was, and even that his son had already met with misfortune; it was they who did it...

"So as a father, he would lock onto the male lead played by Leon through the license plate number and go to confront him, but unfortunately the other party was prepared early..."

On set, Lin Nan explained the script to Liu Yifei.

The plot of this film was indeed very convoluted, infinitely reversing, and 90% of the plot was flashback plot, happening one to three months ago.

Things in the domestic film circle spread to Hollywood.

Led by Director Xie Fei, a large number of well-known directors such as Jia Zhangke, Lou Ye, Li Shaohong, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Jiang Wen, and He Ping jointly submitted an application to the Administration.

The application content only had one point, hoping to replace the film censorship system with a film rating system.

They issued an open letter to the industry, calling on all directors and filmmakers to join the joint signature team.

In the open letter, they directly stated that the censorship system was a legacy of the planned economy, a bad habit that restricts market prosperity, stifles ideological exploration, and wastes administrative resources.

This movement was indeed a bit big, and even Lin Nan, who was far away in Hollywood, was affected.

A large number of mainland netizens left messages for Lin Nan, hoping he would also join in and apply to the Film Bureau together.

In addition, Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, and others were also among those being called out.

Quite a few people in the industry were also @-ing Lin Nan, but he didn't respond.

"You mean, the appeal letter was sent to the company?"

"Yes, it was sent directly to my hands." On the phone, Yue Jun confirmed.

"Don't get involved in this; it won't succeed." Lin Nan also gave a definite answer.

"Why? There are so many directors and filmmakers!"

"Look at the directors who jointly applied to the Administration; what common characteristics do they have?"

Without waiting for Yue Jun to answer, Lin Nan had already asked and answered himself:

"Either they have suffered from the censorship system, or they can't film commercial films, or they are directors who have been hovering on the edge of the censorship red line all year round. Even Ning Hao didn't get involved!"

Lin Nan knew that the country would not pass any film rating system; don't even think about it.

Limited by national conditions, everything must be under control; some things just cannot be filmed, and there is no room for negotiation.

Otherwise, are Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang fools? None of them said a word.

"Then I'll reject them?"

"Just don't get involved; if asked, just say I'm very busy over here and rarely reply to emails."

"Okay."

The entertainment news of domestic 'Big Flowers' was also varied and very interesting.

Fan Bingbing invested in it herself and was going to film *The Empress of China*; this was the first time a post-80s actress played Wu Zetian.

For a time, Liu Xiaoqing's version of Wu Zetian was mentioned again, but as they talked, it went off track.

The topic went directly to the currently popular *Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties*; Grandma Liu played a shy young girl and daughter-in-law in it, and her scenes were quite numerous!

Netizens were all shouting that they couldn't bear to look, it hurt their eyes, and they even vomited their overnight meals.

*The Invisible Guest* crew continued filming in full swing.

Liu Yifei was browsing news with her phone, frowning and sighing from time to time.

"What's wrong? It will be finished in ten days at most, and we can go back then." Lin Nan said softly.

"Look for yourself, really incorrigible."

On the phone Liu Yifei handed over was gossip about Jiang Yiyan again.

Since being caught last time, it had only been a few months, and she was caught again?

Lin Nan didn't know what to say; can a leopard change its spots?!

The media had already used "lingering" to describe Jiang Yiyan and Deng Chao.

This time Sun Li didn't rush to the set, but directly took the children back to her mother's house, very decisively.

The media's report on the third part of *The Four* was very interesting.

"Due to some reasons, *The Four 3* crew suspended visits, and all members rested for a few days..."

This made Enlight Media the focus, and they hurriedly issued an announcement, saying it was because it was almost finished, so there was no need to rush, which was why they took a break.

Netizens wouldn't believe any announcement; there were photos on the internet, so how could it be fake when they were so intimate?

Wang Changtian could be considered to have done his best for Deng Chao; the latter's favor was probably owed quite a bit!

"The group is even livelier." Liu Yifei said suddenly.

"They wouldn't be gossiping about this directly in the group, would they? Jiang Yiyan is also in it!"

Liu Yifei nodded and shook her head, "She quit the group after last time. She quit after asking everyone for help in the group and being scolded by Xiao Zhu a few times."

Hearing Liu Yifei's words, Lin Nan couldn't help but want to laugh.

What is this? Still have some self-knowledge, or still know to want some face?

"Old Zhu is sometimes indeed straightforward and even a bit unrestrained."

"Forget it, it has nothing to do with us; no need to pay attention to this kind of broken thing."

Lin Nan knew that Zhu Yawen was indeed quite annoyed with Jiang Yiyan.

Because Jiang Yiyan had always been an artist managed by Wang Jinghua, and Zhu Yawen's studio was close by.

So Zhu Yawen knew more about what broken things she had done than other classmates, and thus looked down on her even more.

"The third story, get ready.

Leon, the second half is your performance time, the transition from a disguised innocent victim to a truly sinister and vicious murderer."

"No problem, Lin. Come on."

Leonardo waved his hand calmly and composedly, appearing confident.

To be honest, I don't know to what extent I should describe the protagonist filming a foreign-language film. Previously, a reader said they hoped it would be written in more detail, just like watching a new movie, but this might indeed be a bit padded. But most people haven't watched many foreign-language films, and when the protagonist films, it can't be simply skipped over; this way the concept of the film would be very vague, and whatever achievements are obtained later would appear very abrupt. Dilemma...
