Chapter 410: Familiar Voice, Continue
"Produced by Huayi, directed by Tsui Hark, the film *Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon* held its premiere ceremony in Beijing this morning."
"In addition to the main creative team, a group of big directors and stars in the industry such as Feng Xiaogang, Gu Changwei, Ang Lee, John Woo, Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Zhang Ziyi, etc., appeared on the red carpet..."
"Wong Kar-wai's work, the film *The Grandmaster*, will represent Hong Kong to go to the Oscars to participate in the competition for the Best Foreign Language Film Award."
The commercial vehicle slowly stopped outside the airport, and only then did Lin Nan turn off the news page on his mobile phone.
"Lin Dao, we have arrived."
"Mm."
Lin Nan put on his sunglasses, and after getting out of the car, he quickly blended into the crowd and took the lead in walking towards the departure hall.
The assistant pulled the suitcase and followed behind at a distance.
Lin Nan kept a low profile as much as possible, not wanting to be noticed by reporters, to save trouble.
Otherwise, these people would speculate again and write in the press release:
"Is Lin Dao Nan going to Hollywood again?"
"What new film project is it this time?"
In the end, it would inevitably be another group of people in the industry running over to harass him.
The most important point is that Lin Nan wants to keep this trip more confidential, so as to give Liu Qianqian a fright; just thinking about it is very interesting.
The flight from the capital to Moscow is about 4 hours and a bit, and the transfer time in the middle needs one hour.
Lin Nan started the trip to visit the set with the mentality of sleeping as soon as he got on the plane.
…………
At noon, the news about *Monk Comes Down the Mountain* made the entire film and television industry look sideways.
Chen Hong, as the general producer, officially issued an announcement to the outside world:
"Director Chen Kaige's new film, *Monk Comes Down the Mountain*, is officially open for casting.
For some female roles, it is decided to use newcomer actors. The audition roles have been announced; welcome all companies and actors in the industry to submit audition resumes..."
Opening for auditions has already attracted the attention of a large number of actors. But using newcomer actors is even more eye-catching in the industry.
To tell the truth, big directors in the industry today who are willing to give roles to newcomer actors are truly very, very few.
For all actresses, debuting as a "Zhang Yimou girl" is the ceiling they can hope for, but the opportunity is truly too slim.
But now, a Palme d'Or director's film is willing to give an opportunity.
This instantly gave countless companies and newcomer actresses in the industry ideas.
Undoubtedly, this is an opportunity to reach the sky in one step.
At the very least, the resume of the first film of their debut will be incomparably bright and beautiful!
In the eyes of many companies in the industry, it is of course a great thing that Chen Kaige is willing to use newcomers.
This kind of opportunity can completely be used for interest exchange to promote their own newcomers!
"Senior Brother Yue, is Senior Brother Lin not here?"
Han Jia'nu originally wanted to call Lin Nan to notify him of the location of her father's retirement banquet and 60th birthday banquet.
But it was already afternoon, and she still couldn't contact him, so she could only call Yue Jun to ask.
"Lin Dao went to visit Qianqian's set and will be back in a few days."
"Ah? But there aren't many days left for Old Han's; won't the time be missed?"
"Shouldn't be." Yue Jun was almost amused by Han Jia'nu.
What is "not many days left for Chairman Han's"? This is a birthday banquet, not that thing.
"Alright then, I'll contact him again tomorrow."
……
Five hours after setting off, Lin Nan boarded the plane to Bingdao, and after another four and a half hours, finally arrived at the destination.
"When setting off from the capital, it was past 9 o'clock in the morning, and I flew continuously for nearly 10 hours. It's 11 o'clock in the morning when I arrive here; this time difference is quite good!"
Lin Nan sighed with a smile. This place is worthy of being a world-famous tourist destination; the scenery is truly very great.
"Lin Dao, that side should be here to pick us up."
Following the direction the assistant pointed, Lin Nan saw a few people holding signs.
Among them was a familiar-looking woman, Nolan's private assistant.
"Lin, I represent Director Nolan to welcome you."
The other party had a smile on her face, speaking stumbling Chinese, with a bit of a strange pronunciation.
"Thank you, is the crew working today?"
"Yes, when we set off, everyone had just started filming."
While talking, the other party took Lin Nan to the last car, while the two assistants went to the front, and the group set off back to the crew.
Speaking of filming sci-fi films, many directors and producers will immediately think of those expensive and time-consuming special effects shots.
But sometimes, no matter how good the special effects are, they can't compare to the uncanny workmanship of nature.
Vatnajökull National Park is the frozen alien planet chosen by Nolan for the film *Interstellar*.
Here, oceans, snow-capped mountains, glaciers, canyons, and ice fields are as far as the eye can see.
Of course, Nolan couldn't film the entire Vatnajökull, but chose the Svínafellsjökull glacier within it as the filming location.
Wearing a special spacesuit, Liu Qianqian "slowly" and "laboriously" followed her teammates, walking.
"Cut! Your pace needs to be 'slower', cherish the oxygen; this planet is very oxygen-deficient."
At the filming site, Nolan shouted at Ma Xiu McConaughey, who was in the lead, reminding them.
"Okay, Director Nolan."
Following a "Action", the shot started re-filming.
When Lin Nan arrived nearby by car, he had already changed into a down jacket.
Although it is not lower than minus three degrees all year round here, six or seven degrees is also quite cold.
He wore sunglasses, a mask, and a hat, followed behind a few people and walked towards the direction of the crew in the distance, while the two assistants stayed at the camp.
Lin Nan saw from afar Liu Qianqian wearing a "spacesuit", jumping down from a two-meter-high "spaceship", and running towards Ma Xiu McConaughey, who was lying on the glacier needing rescue.
"Mm, very hardworking."
Lin Nan revealed a smile, muttered softly, and quickened his pace.
Nolan seemed to have sensed something, looked behind him, and it was Lin Nan.
He lowered his voice and said with a smile: "This shot will end soon; lunch together in a while?"
"Of course."
A few minutes later, Nolan shouted "Cut" again, and only then did the few actors relax their expressions.
Liu Qianqian moved her shoulders, took off the helmet of the spacesuit, and subconsciously handed it to the staff member who walked to her side.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, the shot just now was acted very well."
The familiar voice, familiar Chinese, made Liu Qianqian raise her head instantly.
"Ah, you, how did you come?"
"To see you."
Only to see Liu Qianqian's eyes widen, with surprise, excitement, and agitation on her face, almost jumping up.
Masks, sunglasses, and hats, these could not affect her judgment at all; it was Lin Nan.
While talking, she was about to pounce into Lin Nan's arms.
But this spacesuit was slightly bloated, which was a bit difficult for Lin Nan.
In the end, Miss Liu could only giggle, tightly hugging Lin Nan's arm.
However, after a moment, Liu Qianqian puffed up her cheeks again and started complaining:
"Hmph, I thought you didn't keep your word and weren't planning to come to visit the set. I was just thinking about how to settle the score with you after going back."
"Didn't I want to give you a surprise? How about it, surprised?"
"Mm, barely okay."
Liu Qianqian nodded lightly, continuing to be stubborn, but a brilliant smile had already overflowed on her face again.
……
Just when Lin Nan and Liu Qianqian were together, showing affection to each other without regard for anyone else, an inharmonious voice came.
"Lin, long time no see."
Greeting Ma Te Damon was Lin Nan's eye-roll.
"Ma Te, you are truly a 'spoilsport'."
Lin Nan had a speechless expression and complained. Liu Qianqian smiled and punched Lin Nan, the kind that didn't feel anything.
"You two pay attention to the influence; this is a film crew. Besides, I'm here to remind you that lunchtime has arrived."
"You shouldn't have eaten anything yet, let's go, have lunch." Liu Qianqian dragged Lin Nan and was about to walk towards the camp.
…………
Bingdao's fishing industry is very developed, and lunch really had quite a lot of seafood.
For a Golden Lion director, who is also the boss of a Hollywood film company, to come to visit the set, the actors of the crew were all very enthusiastic.
Quite a few people greeted Lin Nan, and he responded one by one.
"Jessica Chastain and the others' scenes have already wrapped up. Crystal's shots will also be finished in a few days."
Before Lin Nan could ask about the filming progress, Nolan had already taken the initiative to speak.
"Quite fast."
"After all, all the time-consuming work is in post-production and special effects. By the way, are you waiting to go back with Crystal after she wraps up?"
"No, I'll leave after staying for two days; I have other things." Lin Nan shook his head.
……
When filming *Inception* before, Lin Nan had collaborated with Nolan once.
Now looking at him directing this *Interstellar*, it is still that style, as rigorous as a machine, meticulous.
"Lin, if this *The Invisible Guest* wins an award, Leo will probably be excited to death."
During the afternoon filming, Ma Te, who had no shots, and Lin Nan were watching the scenery on the side, chatting.
"Why, you don't want him to win an award?" Lin Nan joked with bad intentions.
"How could that be? Don't let him hear this; he will kill people, haha..."
"Whether we can walk to the awards ceremony specifically depends on whether there is a nomination; to tell the truth, I am also very nervous."
Lin Nan spoke frankly; he also hopes to win an Oscar award.
The domestic film circle has a deep-rooted, obsessed mentality towards the Oscars.
"Wish you good luck; if you succeed, take me with you next time... haha."
Ma Te Damon suddenly took a turn and pulled it to himself.
Lin Nan looked at Ma Te and shook his head with a smile. Good guy, this is what you wanted to say, right?
…………
After five o'clock in the afternoon, filming ended, and everyone retreated to the hotel at the foot of the mountain.
By the evening, some news reports were vaguely transmitted back from the country.
"Transferred from Hollywood film information: A new face appeared in the *Interstellar* crew today; Golden Lion director Lin Nan visited the crew..."
"It is reported that some actors of the sci-fi film *Interstellar* have left the crew one after another, and it is expected that the film will wrap up soon..."
……
"Ran to Bingdao secretly like this?"
"No news?"
Quite a few people in the industry were shocked by Lin Nan's whereabouts; no wonder Lin Nan Pictures rejected quite a few invitations.
……
Although the crew arranged a room for Lin Nan, Lin Dao Da carelessly brought his luggage and moved into Liu Qianqian's room.
Both of them were very excited, and until one o'clock in the morning, they were still full of energy.
Lin Nan held Liu Qianqian in his arms, tightly snuggling together.
Even though both of them had good physical strength, they couldn't resist the energy accumulated over nearly a month.
Slightly heavy breathing hit Lin Nan's ear, and he stroked her smooth back: "Tomorrow, you still have to film?"
The seductive flush made Liu Qianqian's exquisite face look even more alluring.
The exposed skin also had a layer of pink glow.
A snow-white long leg was draped over Lin Nan, and she exhaled like an orchid, "Hehe, tomorrow morning, there are no scenes for me..."
"Then?"
"Continue..."
