Chapter 575: If That Day Really Comes, I Should Quit
Yawning, Lin Nan and several assistants followed the crowd towards the airport exit.
Thanks to Miss Liu's squeezing last night, Lin Nan was able to sleep for nearly 9 hours during the 12-hour flight.
"Lin Dao, didn't see the car picking us up?"
Standing outside the airport, looking at the yellow taxis and other private cars coming and going, Lin Nan also didn't find Crystal Pictures' car!
"This Tang Mu, what kind of moth is he making?"
Just as Lin Nan took out his phone, ready to make a call, a black Maybach stopped in front of Lin Nan, followed by three high-end Mercedes-Benz.
The driver's window opened, and it was Tang Mu's round face—which had grown more than a centimeter in diameter!
"Haha, Lin, is it a surprise? I changed cars!"
"Surprise? I am a bit surprised."
Looking at Tang Mu's face, Lin Nan was truly speechless. It was indeed time to change cars; the driver's seat of the previous car probably couldn't even fit him, right?
"Get in the car, I also changed the company's cars!"
Tang Mu ran over, opening the back door for Lin Nan with a treacherous smile.
Lin Nan smiled helplessly. Tang Mu is good at everything, except for this figure... not a bit of perseverance.
"Hmm, let's go."
All five people got in the car. Of course, in the Maybach, there were only Tang Mu and Lin Nan.
On the way back, Tang Mu started his chattering.
"Lin, you are a big favorite for the Golden Globe and Oscars this year. When I participated in activities, many people were asking about you.
In addition, many big companies are asking if Crystal Pictures needs new partners..."
Partners?
When Tang Mu said the last sentence, his tone was a bit complicated.
Lin Nan of course knew what this "partner" meant, which is a new shareholder.
Over the years, Crystal Pictures has also become quite famous in Hollywood, at least it is very profitable.
Plus, Lin Nan, the boss, is a well-known big director. *The Invisible Guest* has already proven his box office performance in the North American market besides awards.
Therefore, Crystal Pictures naturally became a delicious cake, and a cake with great potential and purity!
"We don't need new partners. The cooperation with Lionsgate is quite good, and Warner is too.
If one day Crystal Pictures really has a new shareholder, then there is only one possibility." Lin Nan joked with interest.
"What possibility?" Tang Mu was puzzled.
"I am no longer the boss of Crystal Pictures. If that day really comes, I should quit."
The car was quiet for a while, and then Tang Mu laughed loudly.
"Lin, this joke is not funny, really."
"Then what are you laughing at? Haha..."
"Hmm, I'm covering up the embarrassment."
Tang Mu said very simply. On the way, he never mentioned the company again.
At most, he chatted about Leonardo, Jessica Chastain, and others, saying that they were very hard-working when participating in the *Manchester by the Sea* PR cocktail party!
After all, looking at it this way, *Manchester by the Sea* will be closer to the Best Actor and Best Actress trophies than *The Invisible Guest*.
"By the way, Ma Te seems to be receiving physical and martial arts training at Legendary, he only came to the PR party twice.
However, he brought a little girl with black hair, said it was your sister or friend, I forgot..."
"Jing Tian?"
"Uh, right right, that's the name, very cultivated. Like crystal..."
Lin Nan smiled and didn't speak.
Hollywood in the awards season gathers a large number of internationally renowned actors and stars, and there are film posters and stills everywhere.
Even here, Lin Nan is not an unknown figure, but a big director—a strong contender for the Golden Globes and Oscars!
Less than two hours after he appeared, the news spread here.
Sitting in the office on the third floor of Crystal Pictures, Lin Nan's phone didn't stop.
Leonardo's, Jessica's, Naomi Watts's, James Wan's, Ang Lee's, Nolan's, Ryan Reynolds, Zhang Ziyi...
Even some ordinary friends, such as Scarlett Johansson, Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, and others, also sent short messages.
Lin Nan knew that the reason these ordinary friends could take the initiative to greet him was basically because he won 6 Golden Globe nominations and was a big favorite for the Golden Globes and Oscars!
"Lin, all the film discs sent are here. However, I have already let everyone share the small gifts attached."
Looking at the fifty or so film copies piled up on the desk, Lin Nan really had a headache. He couldn't really watch them one by one, right?
"Hmm, forget it. Tang Mu, you help me write on the empty spaces on this nomination ballot. I don't have time to watch these films. Send it to the academy by the way."
"No problem. I've been to the cocktail parties of most of the films in here..."
Tang Mu said proudly, his fat trembling, making Lin Nan shake his head.
"When is the next Oscar PR?"
"The morning after tomorrow. But since you've appeared, there will definitely be many other film production parties coming to invite you, after all, you are also an academy member."
Lin Nan had psychological preparation for this matter, "I know, just pick and go."
During the day, Lin Nan stayed at Crystal Pictures.
It was really just as Tang Mu said, invitations were sent to the company from time to time, specifically named for him!
"Oh, remembered. *Interstellar* also signed up for the Oscars, although they are all technical awards..."
Accidentally seeing one of the pile of film copies, Lin Nan realized belatedly.
He hurriedly instructed Tang Mu that if there were corresponding positions for *Interstellar* on the nomination ballot, write *Interstellar* for all of them.
"In this way, Xixi still has the possibility of walking the Oscar red carpet with the *Interstellar* crew? Double guarantee, Producer Liu!"
Lin Nan smiled to himself, and casually opened the safe here, flipping out a script from inside.
"Do we have many training arrangements the day after tomorrow?"
Ma Te Damon put down the prop long sword in his hand and asked one of the instructors.
Many actors on the side looked over. Everyone was training together, also to have a tacit understanding after the film officially started filming.
Even actors without action scenes have to participate in physical training and English line training, because *The Great Wall* is a pure English film.
"Do you have anything to do, Ma Te?"
"There is a PR cocktail party for *Manchester by the Sea* the day after tomorrow. Lin arrived in Hollywood this morning. I was thinking if the training volume is relatively small, I won't come."
Ma Te Damon said bluntly, his physical fitness was already relatively good, and his lines were even less of a problem, so of course there was much less to practice.
"Lin?" The person in charge of Legendary muttered.
Jing Tian, Andy Lau, Zhang Hanyu, and others on the side were all refreshed.
"Brother Lin Nan..."
"Lin Dao is here?"
"Lin Dao!"
"Lin Dao has won six Golden Globe nominations this time, a big favorite!"
"Ma Te, we are resting the day after tomorrow. This is the newly released arrangement, I was just about to notify everyone."
Hearing this, not only did Ma Te Damon show a smile, but Jing Tian, Andy Lau, and others did too.
"Just in time, shall we go see Lin Dao together?" Andy Lau joked.
"Hmm, hmm." Jing Tian nodded, her eyes flowing.
