~11 min read 2,103 words

Jiang Wen's status in the international film scene is not low, and there is already news of Gone with the Bullets being scheduled in the Hollywood Film Daily.

It is only March at the beginning of the year, and he went straight to the New Year slot, reserving a lot of promotion time, his ambition and appetite can be seen.

The domestic film circle can see that he is clearly going to repeat the path of Let the Bullets Fly, and wants to achieve breakthroughs and transcendence at the box office.

Maybe at the end of this year, there will be another 1 billion box office club big director in the circle!

"Gone with the Bullets plans to be released in North America, and is negotiating with a suitable distributor..."

Crystal Pictures, Lin Nan sat in the office, flipping through the news.

In his mind, he couldn't help but depict Jiang Wen's "arrogant" and "pointing at the country" appearance.

It seems that as long as he goes to the New Year slot, other films are destined to be grass chickens and dogs!

"That guy Leo is really ruthless."

Tang Mu walked into Lin Nan's office with a sigh, looking like he had seen a ghost.

"What happened to him again?"

"Lin, heard from the paparazzi, he kicked his girlfriend of three months, that girl is only 22 years old."

"Isn't this very normal? He is Leonardo." Lin Nan laughed out loud.

"No no no, do you know how bizarre his reason is?

Said it was to be able to focus on the film shooting next, so he simply broke up to avoid distraction."

The smile on Lin Nan's face froze instantly, what kind of ghost-deceiving excuse is this? He and Manchester by the Sea refuse to carry this pot!

"Hehe, do you think I will believe it? This is at most a tiny bit of the reason, 99% is that he is tired of it himself!"

Lin Nan complained unceremoniously. If Liu Yifei saw this gossip news, she might have to "exhort" him again.

"Hmm? Seems to make sense too!"

Tang Mu thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

"Let's not talk about these boring things first, how many casting resumes have been received for several main roles?"

"Already received no less than fifty, all are senior actors in Hollywood.

Lin, don't underestimate your influence, and don't underestimate their desire for awards."

Tang Mu puffed out his big belly and said with honor.

"Then notify these actors, casting starts tomorrow morning."

Lin Nan glanced at Tang Mu and ordered casually. He definitely knew his influence, still need Tang Mu this guy to remind him? Really,

"Okay, Lin."

In the afternoon, when Lin Nan returned to Beverly Hills, Liu Yifei had just returned too.

Originally thought he would face a "sarcastic" Liu girl, but it was not the case, Lin Nan found her a bit wilted.

"What's wrong?"

Sitting next to Liu Yifei, he asked softly.

She looked at Lin Nan, with a trace of sorrow on her face, and leaned over.

"In two more days, the re-recording of the dubbing for Interstellar will be over."

Hearing this, Lin Nan breathed a sigh of relief, thought it was something. It turned out to be returning to the country alone, reluctant!

"Then accompany me to finish filming this movie, and go back together?"

"No, there are quite a few announcements in March, magazines, advertisements, public welfare films, fashion shows..."

Liu Yifei leaned in Lin Nan's arms, shaking her head lightly, and rubbed with her head.

"Okay, then you go back first, I will be fast too.

You can go to the company with Shu Chang to see, Lu Yang is casting for Brotherhood of Blades 2, you are the producer of the first part."

"Hmm, okay."

Women, change their faces as soon as they say it!

A second ago, the voice was soft and saying "okay", the next second, the tone changed.

Liu Yifei looked up with a slight frown, staring at Lin Nan, very serious. Then her white teeth parted slightly, and her breath was like an orchid: "Don't learn bad things from Leo..."

"I'm not familiar with him, just ordinary friends. Haha..."

"Hmph, Tang Mu will report to me!"

In the country, Lin Nan Pictures.

When the casting actress played a few knife flowers under the demonstration of the martial arts instructor, Lu Yang's eyes lit up.

Women in martial arts films don't have to be very beautiful, but their temperament and "martial arts" must be presentable.

He doesn't want to film some cutout-style martial arts, or slow-motion flower racks that fool people under close-up shots, disgusting.

"Her salary is not high, right?"

Lu Yang picked up the resume and asked Yue Jun next to him while reading, "Xin Zhilei..."

Yue Jun leaned closer and whispered: "Currently above a third-tier actor, not yet second-tier."

Xin Zhilei on the field had already handed the prop long knife to the staff. She looked at Lu Yang and Yue Jun in front, feeling a bit nervous.

She knew that Lin Nan Pictures is one of the few relatively fair film and television companies in the circle, without any messy things.

The protagonists of the company's films will favor their own people and acquaintances, which is normal, but the casting for external supporting roles is basically fair and open.

Thinking of a large wave of peers waiting outside the door, her heart beat faster.

"The film will start filming at the latest in mid-April, planned to be finished in 3 months, but you must reserve a schedule of at least 4 months, can you do it?"

Lu Yang's voice sounded abruptly, making Xin Zhilei stunned, and then it was an uncontrollable smile.

"No problem, Director Lu, I am very free."

These words made Yue Jun and Lu Yang couldn't help but laugh, "very free" means an actor is not popular!

"Okay. Later, your agent will be notified to come and sign the contract."

"Thank you Director Lu, thank you Director Yue, thank you..."

In Hollywood, Lin Nan has seen what is called "Weinstein" style happiness!

Previously Buried, The Hunt, The Invisible Guest...

Okay, there were no prominent female roles in the first two films, and the actress in the latter was decided by half recommendation and half casting, and there were no mishaps.

Mainly it might be because he didn't have an Oscar resume before?

So, until today's casting for Manchester by the Sea, he finally opened his eyes.

On the first day of casting, there were actresses who nakedly and straightforwardly expressed that they could accept "unspoken rules".

Not only that, the other party actually knew that the one who could make the decision was Lin Nan, the goal was very clear!

Good heavens, Lin Nan subconsciously thought he heard it wrong, but Tang Mu's expression told him he didn't have auditory hallucinations.

Dismissed the first one who wanted to take off her clothes, there was a second one...

"Lin, don't be so surprised, this is very normal in Hollywood, isn't it. Over there, it is definitely exactly the same."

Tang Mu said confidently, with a lewd, cheap smile.

"But, but, it's not so straightforward?!"

Lin Nan was a bit dumbfounded.

At this moment, some names flashed in his mind: Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Jizhong, Gu Changwei...

Then, Lin Nan shook his head vigorously: "I am different from them!"

Casting for two consecutive days.

Lin Nan not only saw the "temptation" of Hollywood, but also saw what is called "brainless idiot" — Jennifer Lawrence.

You cast, just cast, but you have to use the fox's power to bully others, saying something like when the film needs public relations, you can find Weinstein.

Know that this water product of yours was pushed up by him, but showing off like this is a bit disgusting.

Also right, after all, it is an actress who can "accidentally" fall on the Oscar red carpet for two consecutive years.

The Oscars a few days ago, even if the host Ellen DeGeneres repeatedly reminded her with mouth shape "don't fall".

But this one still resolutely decided to grab the lens, the method is single.

Afterwards, even the winner of the Best Supporting Actor, when accepting media interviews, bluntly said he felt she was acting on purpose.

Early the next morning, Lin Nan sent Liu Yifei to the airport.

The two have been here since the end of February, it has been more than half a month.

In the car, Liu Yifei rested on Lin Nan's arm, exhorting him to make video calls on time.

"Nolan said Interstellar will be released this year, and will also bring a team to the country for promotion."

"Then we will fulfill the friendship of the landlord, just like the original Inception."

"Okay."

Liu Yifei suddenly sat up straight and asked: "How was the casting?"

"Not so good. After you board the plane in a while, I will return to Crystal Pictures. Made an appointment with those acquaintances, let them try the roles."

Speaking of this, the girl Liu suddenly became interested.

"Who?"

"I want Ma Te to try Leo's older brother in the movie, he is a few years older anyway, and then put on makeup..."

"Hmm, sounds pretty good!" Liu Yifei nodded lightly.

While talking, the two cars arrived at the airport.

The assistant stood far away waiting, while Liu Yifei leaned in Lin Nan's arms.

The long hair on the shoulders felt very smooth, just like her skin.

"Okay, go in quickly. I still have serious business."

Lin Nan smiled and urged, facing Liu Yifei's unhappy eyes, "Are you rushing me?"

"How dare I? Princess Xixi. Finish filming early, go back early to find you."

"That's more like it."

After rolling her eyes at Lin Nan, she smiled, "muma."

"Okay, you go back. But must remember..."

"Remember, won't learn bad things from Leo. He even asked me to watch a show yesterday, I refused righteously."

"Hmm hmm, not bad."

It wasn't until Liu Yifei and others walked into the airport and disappeared from view that Lin Nan got into the car and left.

Crystal Pictures.

Leonardo looked at Ma Te Damon speechlessly, "Why are you here?"

Good heavens, this question made Ma Te Damon want to laugh a little.

"Leo, you seem a bit neurotic, or are you worried that I will grab the male lead with you?"

"No, I never worry. Just curious about the purpose of your coming today. By the way, also Jessica?"

Before Jessica Chastain on the side could speak, a voice came from outside the office door.

"I want to let her try if she can play your ex-wife. Hmm, the ex-wife in the movie." Lin Nan walked in with a smile.

In Hollywood, Jessica Chastain's appearance is not too beautiful, it can only be said to be ordinary to above average.

But this is also the advantage of an actress, can shape a variety of roles, highlighting her own acting skills.

Nearly an hour later, everything was settled.

Leonardo, Ma Te Damon, and Jessica Chastain looked at each other, all feeling like laughing but holding it back.

"Ma Te, don't worry.

I will definitely bring out the best state to act in this scene where you lie coldly in the hospital morgue, no, act it as if it's real. Haha..."

Ma Te Damon gave a contemptuous look to Little Li, not caring about him.

"Then I'm looking forward to it, brother..."

Lin Nan looked at Jessica, "You two played lovers in the last movie, and ex-husband and ex-wife in this movie, there should be a tacit understanding."

"I originally planned to take a vacation for a while, but who let this be your movie. Looking forward to you giving me another trophy, Lin!"

Hearing the word "trophy", Leonardo and Ma Te Damon both subconsciously looked over, what a tempting thing.

The stone in Lin Nan's heart fell by more than half at this moment.

Other supporting roles are really too easy to find, a big handful in the union.

"After the company's team communicates the shooting location in these two days, we can start work, and in the spare time of filming, we can also take a vacation by the way." Lin Nan said quite easily.

After a 12-hour flight, the girl Liu landed at the Capital Airport.

Media reporters have been squatting for so many days, and finally squatted to the person!

The first time they saw Liu Yifei's figure, a large number of media reporters surrounded her, the scene was quite spectacular.

"Yifei..."
