Chapter 356: What Status Am I, Would I Care About That?

When they came, Tang Mu wasn't seen; when they left, this guy actually came to see them off personally.

"Lin, Crystal, see you at the end of the year. At that time, we will also hold a public relations cocktail party..."

Hearing this, Lin Nan really didn't know how to complain about Tang Mu; he thought about cocktail parties all the time.

Liu Yifei on the side was also amused by this guy.

"You'd better heal your foot first."

"Very fast, very fast. That Chinese doctor said, as long as one hundred days..."

Good guy, "one hundred days for bones and tendons to heal" came out!

Lin Nan smiled and signaled to Tang Mu, then held Liu Yifei's hand and walked into the departure hall.

Beijing time, 15 hours ahead of Los Angeles, entered May Day in advance.

The domestic film and television circle had already exploded; what about the box office of *So Young*, what about the box office of *Kung Fu Jungle*.

These were no longer important; Lin Dao Nan really registered for the Oscars!

"Oscar Academy text message: Directed by Chinese director Lin Nan, starring Leonardo, Naomi Watts, Jessica Chastain, etc.

The film *The Invisible Guest* meets the registration requirements and has officially registered for the Academy Awards, having declared for all individual award competitions."

The first time this news spread back to the country, it was topped by major media.

More than a week ago, everyone couldn't be completely sure what the purpose of Lin Nan holding advanced screenings was.

Now, everyone was shocked by this news, with a kind of shock that couldn't be expressed in words.

This was the first mainland director to film a foreign language film and impact the Oscars!

"When is he coming back?"

"Looking at the news, Lin Dao and the others were on last night's flight. Calculating the time, they should be back this morning."

"Keep an eye on it; remind me after he comes back."

"Okay, Han Dong."

Big directors in the industry all became targets of media interviews.

Asking them for their views on Lin Nan's Oscar impact.

Chen Kaige was always serious;

"This is a rugged and difficult road; in my view, Lin Nan impacting the Oscars so early is a bit irrational.

He should settle down for a few more years, at least wait until he is thirty-five, and have richer experience and experience before saying..."

Zhang Yimou accepted an interview during the audition at Beijing Film Academy:

"He is a young director; daring to fight and rush is normal; I am definitely supportive and encouraging; the earlier this kind of thing, the better."

"Impacted the Oscars? Then wish him success," Feng Xiaogang replied from the *Personal Tailor* crew.

Jiang Wen, Jia Zhangke, and others were all supportive; experience was definitely better accumulated earlier.

Slept for nearly ten hours on the plane; when he opened his eyes, it was almost there.

"Here, want to eat some?"

Liu Yifei handed over some oranges, already peeled.

"Are you hungry? We'll eat a big meal when we go back."

Lin Nan took the orange and said softly.

"Mm, okay."

Liu Yifei nodded immediately, her smile full of expectation; she was also a little foodie.

The plane landed.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei wore sunglasses and masks, followed by assistants, merged with the crowd, and walked toward the exit.

On both sides, they could still see film advertisements, *So Young*, *Kung Fu Jungle*, *Iron Man 3*, *American Dreams in China*...

May Day holiday, the airport's passenger flow was also several times more.

Originally thought they could mix through, but it turned out that Lin Nan and Liu Yifei thought too much.

Even though they separated from the assistants, it was of no avail; they were still blocked.

"I say, do you all have fiery eyes and golden pupils?"

Beside the Red Star Dock vehicle, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were forced to accept an interview.

"Mainly because Lin Dao and Yifei are too conspicuous. One is handsome, one is beautiful; even if disguised well, that temperament is not an ordinary person, very easy to expose."

A reporter with glasses from Sina said with a smile, and the voice was not small.

Damn, talent.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei looked at each other and smiled.

Other media reporters also looked at the peer beside them: you kid grabbed the lead!

Lin Nan looked at the reporter and joked: "I will definitely suggest Chairman Cao give you a raise later."

"Then you'd better answer one more question for me, haha..."

"Ask, let's finish quickly. We are in a hurry to go back to fill our stomachs; we only ate a little bit on the plane."

"Lin Dao, when was this Oscar impact decided?"

"A few years ago; at that time, I owed a favor and promised Leonardo, but it was dragged until the end of last year to start filming."

"For this Oscar impact, do you have confidence?"

"Confidence? Who dares to say they have this thing? Can only impact time after time; if once doesn't work, then twice."

"Your new film, is it prepared?"

This question made Lin Nan pause for a moment; finally met a different one.

"Preparing, but, can't reveal it now."

"Yifei, *Frozen*..."

Delayed for more than half an hour, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei finally got rid of the reporters.

"Go to the private kitchen first."

As soon as he got in the car, Miss Liu shouted at the driver; these were all employees of her Red Star Dock.

Opening the phone, only to see text messages popping up one by one, and quite a few missed calls.

"Ning Hao's script is ready, let us take time to gather. Also want to congratulate me in advance for winning the Oscar in a year? What is this, haha..."

Lin Nan was convinced; congratulate in advance for a year?

Quite a few industry insiders sent text messages, asking him to gather after he came back; it was estimated that they all wanted to ask about the Oscars.

"Script? Forget it, his script is generally not suitable for me."

Liu Yifei's interest just raised, and it fell back instantly.

"At that time, let's go see it; he's shouting for me to participate in investment and hang the name of producer."

"Mm, okay."

In less than half an hour, Lin Nan and Liu arrived at the destination; eat a full meal first.

Media news came out very quickly.

"Lin Dao Nan and Liu Yifei landed at Beijing Capital Airport in the morning."

"Oscar film *The Invisible Guest* was set years ago, a work to repay favors for Lin Dao..."

"Liu Yifei revealed that *Frozen*, which she participated in dubbing, will land in the North American market at the end of the year and may be released simultaneously with the mainland."

"Lin Dao responded positively that the new film is already in preparation."

Many people saw the news on the internet, so much so that Lin Nan couldn't eat comfortably even when eating, because his phone kept ringing; simply put, turn it off first.

Now the Oscars were a small matter; the circle was more interested in Lin Nan's new film.

Since *Bad Genius*, Lin Nan only filmed one *The Invisible Guest*.

Although the latter's cast was exceptionally powerful, that was a foreign language film after all; no matter how greedy everyone was, it was useless.

But the film Lin Nan said was in preparation, in everyone's view, was definitely a Chinese film.

Currently, looking at the entire film and television circle, Lin Nan's film was definitely the number one cake, without a doubt.

Before, Zhang Yimou's *Coming Home* made countless actors in the industry feel regret and regret.

At this moment, everyone was staring at Lin Nan's new film, which was more tempting than *Coming Home*!

After eating and drinking, very solid.

"Xixi, you go back first."

"Then what about you."

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Liu Yifei, who was in a silly state after eating, instantly sobered up and looked at him inquiringly.

"Go to China Film Group for a turn."

Lin Nan said helplessly; just turned it off, and now that he turned it on, he saw Han Sanping's text message.

"Oh, then you drive this car; I'll take the other one back."

After kissing Miss Liu, Lin Nan drove straight to China Film Group.

Sometimes it's really strange; isn't it just registering for the Oscars? As for being so excited.

After seeing Lin Nan, Han Sanping's first sentence was about the Oscar impact.

"I say Han Dong, why do you also ask this kind of question? This is the Oscars; where is there any confidence?"

Han Sanping was choked by Lin Nan's words and realized that his question was a bit stupid.

"Not only am I concerned, but Director Tong is also asking me. If you really succeed, the bureau will send you a congratulatory text message."

Uh? This topic was a bit formal, the specification was a bit high, Lin Nan didn't dare to take it.

"I want to too, but this isn't something that can be done just by thinking; at that time, we have to publicize all the way..."

"By the way, talk about your new film; I saw you say you were preparing in front of reporters."

Han Sanping suddenly changed the topic, catching Lin Nan off guard.

He looked at Han Sanping in front of him, not knowing whether to open his mouth or not.

If he opened his mouth, would he be thrown out by the security department?

"That, I'm still preparing, lied to the reporters."

Hearing this, Han Sanping was stunned and didn't have a good face, "So young, and lazy like this every day; hurry up and film."

Lin Nan wanted to laugh; which director was as diligent as him? At least one film a year, this is called lazy?

Suddenly, a thing popped into his mind, and he looked at Han Sanping:

"Han Dong, can I consult you on a thing?"

"Say."

"Zhang Dapao gave you a nickname back then, and it's still spreading outside; what do you think?"

Only seeing Han Sanping seemed to be laughed at by Lin Nan:

"Just a clown. What status am I, would I care about that? You, being able to ask this kind of question, is also not using your brain."

"That's good, that's good..."

Lin Nan nodded while laughing.

Until he left Han Sanping's office, Lin Nan still felt it was a bit unsafe.

But the next second, Lin Nan remembered a person and was instantly amused: "Junior sister..."

After leaving China Film Group, Lin Nan returned to the company.

Yue Jun had been waiting for a long time.

"*Kung Fu Jungle* has good word-of-mouth, Wang Baoqiang's character is the most eye-catching, and Zhao Wenzhuo has also received quite a lot of praise.

But, our word-of-mouth is better than *So Young*, but the box office is always a cut behind, unable to catch up no matter what."

Lin Nan waved his hand, signaling Yue Jun not to care too much.

"That kind of film, as long as it's not too bad, the box office won't be bad. It consumes sentiment and cannot stand the test of time; we should just fight steadily and strike steadily."

Lin Nan didn't finish, that *So Young* from beginning to end was fan effect.

Whether it was Zhao Wei or Han Geng, or the original work, they all had a large number of fans.

These were incomparable to *Kung Fu Jungle*.

"By the way, how is the script?"

Although Lin Nan said he wanted to see the finished script after coming back, that was just an attitude, representing his degree of importance.

"Mm, the finished product is done, and it's being repeatedly modified and refined."

"After it's done, bring it to me."

"No problem."

Speaking of this, Lin Nan thought of another thing.

"The budget for *Ip Man 3*?"

"It's being done; it can come out in these two days."

Lin Nan nodded; calculating the time, in a few days, he could announce this film project.

Now *Kung Fu Jungle* had good word-of-mouth, just in time to take advantage of the trend to change Zhao Wenzhuo; anyway, Lin Nan wouldn't use Donnie Yen again.
