Chapter 605: Copyright Trading, Chinese Chef

The awards ceremony continued; the winner of the Best Actress Silver Bear Award was a romance film, and the actress was already over sixty.

Looking at the new Best Actress on stage with teary eyes, unable to suppress her excitement and speaking intermittently, many people had a feeling of empathy.

"When I get old, I should be like her, continuing to love the acting career I like."

Liu Yifei leaned against Lin Nan, saying softly.

"Liu Qianqian, you're thinking quite far ahead; I won't accompany you then."

"You must accompany me, be my director." Liu Yifei pouted and gave Lin Nan a beautiful eye-roll.

"Oh, that's true too. When you're that old, which director would be willing to let you be the female lead? Only me!"

Lin Nan teased with a smile, receiving an eye-roll warning from Liu Yifei.

"It's the male actors' turn!"

Jiang Wen on the side abruptly interrupted the two, young people really don't pay attention to the occasion.

The few of them subconsciously glanced at Leonardo, only to see him with his hands crossed on his lap, brows slightly furrowed, staring at the award presenter on stage just like that.

Ma Te Damon didn't hold any hope for Best Actor; "Manchester by the Sea" was Leonardo's one-man show, and he, the supporting actor, had no chance at all.

"Best Actor Silver Bear Award winner: Leonardo DiCaprio, 'Manchester by the Sea', congratulations!"

"Yeah!"

In an instant, Leonardo swung his fist hard, gritting his teeth and shouting excitedly.

A lot of people at the scene looked over, because whether it was Lin Nan or Leonardo, they were well-known filmmakers.

The group from the country also stared intently at the few people from the "Manchester by the Sea" crew, muttering in their hearts: Another Best Actor won!

"Lin Nan is really incredible this time. One film, helped the male lead win the Golden Globe Best Actor, Berlin Best Actor..."

La Peikang said with a smile, and Ren Zhonglun on the side also nodded in agreement.

Others such as Jackie Chan, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, Zhang Ziyi, and others were all smiling, applauding toward Lin Nan's side.

"Leon, congratulations."

Lin Nan hugged him and sent his blessings.

"Go up quickly, Leon." Liu Yifei reminded him on the side.

Watching Leonardo walking quickly toward the podium, the stones in their hearts all fell a little bit; "Manchester by the Sea" had taken the first city.

"Lin Nan, not bad, you're amazing."

Jiang Wen smacked his lips, feeling a bit uncomfortable; to be honest, he was still envious.

"Lin Dao, congratulations."

Zhou Yun, Ge You, and even Hong Huang and Shu Qi, who weren't very familiar, also sent their congratulations one after another.

"Haha, thank you."

Lin Nan said thank you, and there was a smile on his face, but his heart was drumming right now.

Before winning the first award, it meant "Manchester by the Sea" could be any of the core awards, could look forward to the Jin Xiong.

But when the first award was born, whether there would be any gains later was really a suspense.

And the subsequent awards were all directly participated in by Lin Nan himself, all counted as his honor, unlike the actor awards.

Perhaps sensing Lin Nan's mood, Liu Yifei tightened her grip on his hand and gave him a sweet smile.

"... Thank you, thank you Lin, this is the second Best Actor trophy he has given me, and also my second Best Actor Silver Bear trophy. I think we should be good partners and good friends for this lifetime.

Lin, Crystal, when you hold your wedding, even if I'm on the operating table, in a hospital bed, I will rush over, haha... Thanks again, my dear friend, Lin!"

The roar of laughter from the whole venue erupted; Leonardo rarely joked about himself in public.

Clutching that "cute" Silver Bear trophy and holding the certificate, he returned in high spirits.

Welcoming Leonardo, besides applause and smiling faces, was Ma Te Damon's resentful look.

"Ma Te, do you want to see my Silver Bear? It looks better than that Silver Lion."

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei couldn't help but laugh. Good fellow, this is starting to "take revenge"? Back then, Ma Te Damon often showed off that Silver Lion.

"Best Screenplay Silver Bear Award winner..."

The voice on the podium sounded, and the scene was instantly dead silent, staring intently above. Including Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, and Jiang Wen.

This award was also within Lin Nan's competition range.

"... Patricio Guzmán, 'The Pearl Button', congratulations!"

"Hoo..."

Taking a deep breath, Lin Nan adjusted his mindset; there were still the last three big awards!

"Lin Nan, we have a chance, you are a Berlin insider who has won two Best Director Silver Bear trophies."

Liu Yifei also knew about this "insider" talk, and she was quite good at encouraging people.

"Hmm, Liu Qianqian, let's keep waiting."

Five minutes later, the acceptance speech ended.

"Best Director Silver Bear Award winner:

Radu Jude, 'Aferim!', congratulations! Małgorzata Szumowska, 'Body', congratulations!"

The voice of the jury member fell, and the scene became noisy all of a sudden; many people looked at Lin Nan.

Best Director—a double yolk! No Lin Nan!

"Lin Nan, maybe you can really fight for it, don't be anxious."

Jiang Wen suddenly spoke; he could understand Lin Nan's mood right now. To be honest, he naturally hoped Lin Nan would succeed.

"Borrowing Director Jiang's auspicious words, maybe really, isn't it coming right away?"

Lin Nan pulled the corners of his mouth, squeezing out a smile.

Rubbing Liu Yifei's hand, Lin Nan calmed his somewhat nervous mood; this was the most healing method.

Finally, it reached the last two comprehensive big awards, and the jury president was brought up to present the award.

"Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize, the winner is: 'The Club', Pablo Larraín. Congratulations!"

The atmosphere at the awards ceremony reached its climax.

In the thunderous applause, many Chinese filmmakers subconsciously looked toward Lin Nan and Jiang Wen.

"Jiang Wen today?" La Peikang had a bad guess in his heart.

"Probably? If 'Gone with the Bullets' wins the Jin Xiong, that would be a bit too unreasonable." Ren Zhonglun responded in a low voice.

"Lin Dao, still a chance, right?"

Jackie Chan followed up and said, everyone was waiting for the final announcement of the Jin Xiong Award.

Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, Xu Jinglei, and others all knew in their hearts that the hope for "Gone with the Bullets" was too slim; of the two directors from the mainland, only Lin Nan could fight for it.

"Look, they should have guessed seven or eight out of ten in their hearts right now. This time, I'm going to return in a sorry state, hehe."

Jiang Wen mocked himself to Lin Nan; Lin Dao already had no heart to comfort him, because he himself was also very uneasy!

"Thank you to the filmmaker friends from all over the world for attending the Berlin International Film Festival awards ceremony tonight.

Below, I will present the Jin Xiong Award for Best Film of this Berlin International Film Festival."

The jury president picked up the card sent by the etiquette staff and slowly opened it:

"The 65th Berlin International Film Festival, Jin Xiong Award for Best Film, the winner is: 'Manchester by the Sea', Linnan, congratulations!"

A current of electricity went straight to the brain along the spine.

Lin Nan stood up with a 'swoosh', and Liu Yifei was like a happy fool, hugging his neck and jumping lightly.

"We... sigh, Lin Nan, it's us, hehe..."

"It's us..."

Lin Nan looked straight at the podium, and the jury president also looked over here with a smile; many people stood up and applauded.

Turning back, staring at Liu Yifei's exquisite face overflowing with joy, Lin Nan held it and kissed it hard, one second, two seconds, three seconds...

After a long time, their lips parted, and Miss Liu's flushed face was even more charming.

"I say, that's enough, right? Stimulating me, aren't you?"

Jiang Wen sat on the side, applauding while laughing and cursing.

"Lin, we got the Jin Xiong."

Jessica, Leonardo, Ma Te Damon, all were extremely excited.

"I'm going up."

"Hmm."

Liu Yifei nodded, still immersed in joy and happiness.

Walking in the aisle, Lin Nan kept waving to La Peikang, Ren Zhonglun, Jackie Chan... Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, and others in the distance.

At this moment, he was very excited! But the expressions of many people looking at him seemed a bit playful? Lin Nan didn't care.

On the podium, Lin Nan lowered his body slightly, took the brilliant Jin Xiong with both hands, and the certificate.

"Lin, congratulations. Next, it's up to you."

"Thank you, Mr. President."

Standing in front of the microphone, Lin Nan smiled and waved the Jin Xiong in his hand, igniting another wave of applause.

"Thank you Berlin, this is my third time entering the main competition unit. Thank you to my crew members, the Jin Xiong is the result of everyone's joint efforts."

Lin Nan paused, looking smilingly at Liu Yifei who was winking at him, the latter's red lips parted slightly, as if saying something.

"The person I want to thank the most is my fiancée Liu Yifei; she is my most important support, my Jin Xiong has half of you. Alright, in a while, it will all be yours, haha..."

Roars of laughter and applause resounded throughout the awards scene.

Lin Nan took the Jin Xiong and walked off the stage, walking back to his seat.

He stopped for a moment in front of Liu Yifei, and everyone around looked curiously. Even Liu Yifei, who stood up to welcome him full of joy, was a bit confused.

"Lin Nan, you?"

Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Nan, who had just won the Jin Xiong, knelt on one knee amidst a burst of exclamations.

"Here, this is much more meaningful than a ring!"

Lin Nan held up the Jin Xiong and presented it; this was something he thought of on the stage just now.

Hmm, witty!

"You'd better wipe your lipstick first, Lin Dao!"

Jiang Wen's rough voice interrupted Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, who were being affectionate, and there was another burst of laughter at the scene.

Liu Yifei hurriedly took the Jin Xiong trophy, and while Lin Nan was wiping his lips in embarrassment, she glared "fiercely" at Jiang Wen.

"Director Jiang, knowing you didn't get one, let me show you our Lin Nan's Jin Xiong trophy, just got it."

Liu Yifei's sentence choked Jiang Wen, his smile froze there, heart-piercing!

This was Lin Nan's third time competing in the Berlin International Film Festival main competition unit, but it was also his first time attending the awards banquet solemnly.

He held Liu Yifei's hand and received congratulations from countless people.

Everyone who came from the country gathered together.

"You are completely incredible this time, how are other directors in the circle supposed to live? Hehe..."

"Lin Nan is only in his prime this year; directors older than him, 99% have to slap themselves a few times!"

"Director La, Director Ren, I feel like you are pointing at me to my face?"

Jiang Wen asked back in a bad mood, depressed.

"You'd better worry about how the media will write about you. Making you flip the table to your face, cursing reporters..."

"Lin Dao, Yifei, congratulations. I'm waiting for your film invitation." Jackie Chan raised his glass and clinked it with Lin Nan.

"Lin Dao, congratulations."

"Yifei, let's take a photo, you are very charming tonight." Fan Bingbing invited.

For the two-hour awards banquet, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei didn't stay until the end; they chose to leave halfway.

When they returned to the hotel, it was already past 11:00 PM Berlin time.

The excitement and happiness accumulated at the awards ceremony were released to the fullest after washing up.

And at this time, it was already 7:00 AM domestic time.

When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei calmed their breathing and fell into a deep sleep in each other's arms.

The news of the Berlin International Film Festival was like a hurricane passing through, sweeping across the domestic film and television industry, entertainment circle, major portal websites, Weibo...

"At 4:00 AM today, the 65th Berlin International Film Festival successfully came to an end; Lin Dao Nan and the film 'Manchester by the Sea' powerfully won the Best Actor Silver Bear Award and the Best Film Jin Xiong Award!"

"After 19 years, Leonardo DiCaprio won Best Actor in Berlin again!"

"Ten years of Berlin journey, Lin Dao Nan is officially crowned, becoming the 7th Jin Xiong director in the Chinese-language film circle!"

"Following Director Zhang Yimou and Director Li Ang, Lin Dao Nan becomes the 3rd double-gold director in the Chinese-language film industry with a Golden Lion and a Jin Xiong!"

"Holding the Jin Xiong, kneeling on one knee, Lin Dao Nan kissed Liu Yifei passionately at the closing ceremony awards ceremony of the Berlin International Film Festival... Lips stained with lipstick, went on stage to receive the award, hilarious..."

"Director Jiang Wen's film work 'Gone with the Bullets', trip to Berlin, empty-handed!"

"'Gone with the Bullets' during the exhibition, encountered large-scale departures of filmmakers... Copyright trading, feared to be not optimistic... Wantonly cursing media, no cultivation to speak of..."

"It is reported that Lin Dao Nan and Liu Yifei will subsequently fly directly to Hollywood to prepare for the Oscar awards ceremony and will not return to the country to celebrate the Lunar New Year..."

Lin Nan Film Industry, Shanhe Media, Tiangong Color, Shiyue Culture, Happy Mahua, and even China Film, Enlight, Wanda, and other companies forwarded the news of the Berlin International Film Festival awards results one after another.

The entire film and television circle knew about this matter, either actively or passively.

As the film and television circle expected, just one hour later, above the banner "Welcome new art exam students to sign up for the Film Academy" at the gate of the Film Academy, a newer, larger, and more conspicuous one was added:

"Warmly congratulate our school's director department outstanding alumnus, Film Academy in-service professor Lin Dao Nan, for winning the Jin Xiong Award for Best Film at this Berlin International Film Festival, becoming a Golden Lion, Jin Xiong, double-gold director..."

The film and television circle was completely lively, and countless actors and stars joined the ranks of "flattery."

"Golden Lion Award, Jin Xiong Award! Cannes Jury Prize, Silver Bear Director, Golden Globe Director, Golden Horse Director, multiple Best Screenplay Awards!"

"Nothing to say, Lin Dao is terrifying! The third double-gold director in the Chinese-language film circle, award ranking firmly in the top three, box office ranking undoubtedly number one!"

"The thigh has become much thicker, as a pendant... I am honored!"

"Zhu Yawen, stop being a pendant. Luo Jin stole your position..."

"Am I the only one who envies Yifei? Good fellow, kneeling on one knee at the awards ceremony, presenting the Jin Xiong!"

"Really rare! Xun Ge was actually romanced too? Hehe..."

"My brother is still very powerful, I am very gratified, hmm, gratified. They are both my thighs!"

"Congratulations to Big Brother Lin Nan..."

"Senior Brother Lin is awesome, we won't go to the Golden Rooster! Yifei, lend me that Jin Xiong to play with for two days later..."

"He, really won the Jin Xiong?"

Chen Kaige looked at the morning news with a serious expression.

Logically speaking, Lin Nan won an award, which had nothing to do with him, but he still had some indescribable emotions in his heart.

Being surpassed by a young man in awards, this feeling made him, who had always been "superior," very uncomfortable.

"Today, if there are media reporters... refuse them, I'm very busy..."

"Hmm, okay."

Chen Hong responded softly on the side; as a person who had shared his pillow for many years, she understood him better than Chen Kaige himself.

The Film Association side was already a mess.

"Wait for him to come back from Hollywood at the end of February, then go 'visit'."

"Can it be done? With his current award achievements, the Golden Rooster is completely dispensable."

"He is dispensable, but we can't be. Besides, didn't Han Sanping already promise to help lobby?"

"Speaking of Han Sanping, I get angry. His daughter, really can't be talked about. I looked for Han Sanping, and she actually hung up on me! How was she educated?"

The Berlin International Film Festival was officially over, but the copyright trading market was not, and it was in full swing.

The next morning, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei got up very early.

Lin Dao had to go with Tang Mu to connect with film buyers and handle the copyright trading.

And Liu Yifei also had to wait for the brand side to come and take away the valuable things like gowns and jewelry.

Besides that, the day after tomorrow was New Year's Eve, Liu Yifei had to make a call to Liu Xiaoli, and also represent herself and Lin Nan to make one to Old Lin Tou.

"Leon, Ma Te, Jessica, their flights are at 10:00 AM, they have already set off."

Seeing Lin Nan, Tang Mu immediately talked about the itineraries of the others.

"I know, they sent me a message. We'll meet again in Hollywood in two days. Tell me about the current situation?"

Lin Nan went straight to the point, asking about the copyright of "Manchester by the Sea".

As a Jin Xiong Award film, which also won four Golden Globe awards and six Oscar nominations, the copyright transaction price would definitely not be low.

Not to mention, whether it was him, or Leonardo, Ma Te Damon, Jessica Chastain, all three were very well-known directors and actors, worthy of being called a top lineup.

Tang Mu sorted out his thoughts and began to report:

"Lin, a total of 46 film buyers made regional quotes for 'Manchester by the Sea', and in the end, we screened and kept 22."

"But because the plot content of this film is too depressing and painful, it is difficult to make a breakthrough in price, and you also retained the copyright for the Chinese market..."

Lin Nan knew that film buyers would find excuses in this regard to suppress the price.

"They bought the copyright, and it's not just relying on theaters to recover costs and make money. Discs, tapes, network charges, these are the big heads, and they are long-term. Telling us this? You shouldn't have made concessions, right?"

Lin Nan looked at Tang Mu and asked teasingly.

"Lin, you still understand me. How could I let them succeed? Let's go, all the film buyers are waiting for you, the new Jin Xiong director. As for the total price? Later, you will see."

Following Tang Mu, Lin Nan walked all the way to the large conference room of the Hilton Hotel and met the 22 film buyers this time.

"Hi, Lin."

Just as he entered the door of the conference room, a foreigner suddenly stood up and waved enthusiastically.

Lin Nan was stunned, then reacted, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

"Alfred?"

As an "old acquaintance" among Lin Nan's film buyer friends at the film festival, Alfred really left a deep impression on him.

Because since the first time they met at the three major film festivals, the other party had asked for prices and chatted many times, but always shook his head.

It wasn't until the 2012 Cannes International Film Festival that this situation stopped.

In that year, Alfred's company completed the process of "changing guns for cannons."

He became one of the buyers of Lin Nan's films for the first time, which was one of the buyers for "Bad Genius" and "Passengers".

In last year's "The Invisible Guest" buyers, it seemed he was also there, but Lin Nan didn't attend the signing ceremony at that time.

"It's me, Lin. Haven't congratulated you yet, for winning the Jin Xiong Award."

"Thank you, it seems your company is developing very well?"

"Haha, of course. It's just that your films are still so expensive!"

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few sentences, then entered the main topic.

Dozens of contracts were distributed, and under the witness of the Berlin Film Festival organizers and lawyers, the signing began.

"98.2 million, US dollars!"

When the prices of all film buyers were added together, Lin Nan saw this number that surprised him.

The bonus of awards and the main creative lineup, plus offsetting the disadvantage of the plot being too depressing and painful, this price was very eye-catching!

He remembered that the copyright of "The Invisible Guest" only sold for 62 million US dollars in total.

"What I said about being difficult to make a breakthrough in price refers to 100 million US dollars..."

Tang Mu leaned to Lin Nan's side and whispered, his tone quite smug!

"Tang Mu, your bonus this year can be two points higher!"

"Lin, are you keeping your word?" Tang Mu was excited all of a sudden.

"Hmm, keeping my word!"

Before noon, the copyright trading matter was finally settled.

The number of 98.2 million US dollars would also be counted into this year's total transaction amount by the Berlin International Film Festival and published on the official website later.

The domestic crews, actors, and stars also began to prepare for the return journey.

After settling the copyright matter, Lin Nan took Liu Yifei and had a meal with La Peikang, Ren Zhonglun, and others.

"Which slot are you planning to choose for this film?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, when the time comes, I'll go to China Film personally and report to Director La?"

Lin Nan picked up food for Liu Yifei and then complimented him.

"Hmm, that's fine. You can come anytime, you can choose anytime. However, the box office for this film probably won't be too high."

"I'm mentally prepared, I didn't expect much box office in the country."

"Is the distribution settled?"

"Director Ren, don't think about this matter. He already gave it to Enlight."

La Peikang interrupted Ren Zhonglun's words, making the latter feel a bit uncomfortable.

This trip to Berlin, Shanghai Film bought quite a few foreign films, but it was still that sentence, all were bought-out films!

Looking at China Film, many large foreign companies were contacting La Peikang, and the latter was also introducing revenue-sharing films one by one.

The treatment of the two state-owned giants had been nakedly placed on the table these days.

Sometimes they would even fight because they took a fancy to the same bought-out film, which led to the two big bosses becoming more and more at odds.

"You've shot two foreign films for two consecutive years, what's your plan for later? Still continuing?"

Ren Zhonglun ignored La Peikang and asked Lin Nan. Shanghai Film had been away from this small team for too long!

"Originally, I promised Leonardo to help him rush for the Oscars. Now, no matter what, I've won two Best Actor awards, so it counts as an explanation."

"Later, I won't shoot foreign films in the short term, there are commercial films this year..."

The brain didn't keep up with the mouth, that's what Lin Nan was like right now; by the time he reacted, it was too late!

Only to see Ren Zhonglun staring straight at Lin Nan, while La Peikang had an expression of being ready for battle.

Liu Yifei knew it well; she lowered her head and ate, her feet under the table kicking Lin Nan lightly.

"There is a commercial film plan, hmm, currently it's just a plan."

"That's great, Shanghai Film is very well-off recently, you can speak anytime. We haven't cooperated for a long time, the last time was purely confused..."

Ren Zhonglun said to himself, with a smile on his face and a sincere expression.

He didn't care at all about La Peikang, who had already darkened his face beside him; he just wanted to "pry" back the corner that he had "accidentally" pushed out back then.

"Director Ren really knows how to climb up the pole, saying it as if Lin Nan lacks investment? China Film, Wanda, Enlight, all are long-term partners, can provide all resources!"

La Peikang emphasized the names of the three companies, his words carrying sarcasm.

"The film is still early, early."

Lin Nan hurriedly changed the topic, only blaming himself for being quick-mouthed. Now, there might be some trouble later.

Jackie Chan, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, and Jiang Wen's group all boarded the flight back to the country on the afternoon of the 16th.

Before boarding, they all greeted Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, agreeing to meet again in the country after the New Year. They also wished Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's Oscar trip success!

It must be said, Zhang Ziyi is still that Zhang Ziyi.

Although this trip to Berlin, their family made a big joke, she recovered extremely quickly.

As for face, as long as you are not embarrassed, what joke or not, it's like it never happened at all!

Before leaving, she even "ran into" Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, saying with a smile that they would meet again in Hollywood in a few days, really like nothing had happened, which made people look at her with new eyes.

And on the second day after the Berlin International Film Festival ended, on the morning of the 17th, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, with eight assistants, bodyguards, and Tang Mu's group, totaling 18 people, officially boarded the flight back to Hollywood.

At this time, there was only one day left until the Lunar New Year's Eve in the country.

The news that couldn't be hidden was eventually exposed in advance.

A piece of news attracted the attention of the entire film and entertainment circle.

"Mango TV released news:"

"The large-scale national defense education special program 'Takes a Real Man', jointly launched by Mango TV, the People's Liberation Army, and the August First Film Studio, has entered the closed recording stage; the recording location is the military unit."

"The celebrity guests for the first season are: Zhang Fengyi, Guo Xiaodong, Wang Baoqiang, Yuan Hong, Liu Haoran..."

"'Running Man' Season 2 departing guests are self-evident; Wang Baoqiang abandons 'Running Man' and chooses 'Takes a Real Man'!"

"'Running Man', as a domestic phenomenal blockbuster reality show, Wang Baoqiang's move is truly throwing away a watermelon to pick up sesame seeds, which is puzzling."

"Many industry insiders analyzed and revealed that Wang Baoqiang is very likely to offend the Lin Nan Film Industry system because of this and become enemies with the big director..."

Enlight.

Wang Changtian, who saw the entertainment information online, was happy to the extreme.

For him, Wang Baoqiang leaving "Running Man" was a completely good thing!

When preparing for "Lost in Hong Kong", he strongly recommended Bao Bei'er to replace Wang Baoqiang to Xu Zheng.

Then what about the current "Running Man" Season 2? It can be done in the same way.

In his eyes, Bao Bei'er completely replacing Wang Baoqiang was absolutely no problem!

"How is it, what is Yue Jun's reply, it shouldn't be decided yet, right, the substitute resident guest?"

Wang Changtian asked the secretary who had just come in; the latter was the one sent by him to inquire about this matter.

"Chairman Wang, Director Yue said that Lin Nan Film Industry has its own arrangements, and it will be officially announced to the outside world at the investment promotion conference at the end of the month. Now, it needs to be kept secret. Besides, we are not the co-production party for the second season yet."

Hearing this, Wang Changtian's brows wrinkled subconsciously, then relaxed again.

"As expected of the housekeeper of Lin Nan Film Industry, the confidence is strong enough! Harder than Lin Nan's words! No wonder there are no shares, but can get dividends."

"Chairman Wang, what should we do now?"

The secretary couldn't help but ask; when she came back just now, Bao Bei'er was also asking her for news.

"Forget it, I'll talk to Lin Nan personally. Oh, remembered, the time difference is a bit large! Then wait for him to come back, and I'll talk to him."

Wang Changtian was quite confident in himself; he felt he could persuade Lin Nan.

"You go down first."

"Okay, Chairman Wang."

Los Angeles was 9 hours behind Berlin.

When the flight that had flown for more than six hours landed at Los Angeles Airport, the date was still the 17th, and it was 7:00 AM.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei walked in the crowd with fingers interlaced, very eye-catching.

"Lin Nan, this is our first time spending the New Year in Hollywood. I want to eat Chinese food, but I don't want to order from a Chinese restaurant."

Liu Yifei wore sunglasses and a beret, shaking Lin Nan's hand, acting a bit spoiled.

"Hehe, want to order me around again?"

Lin Nan replied in a bad mood, but his face was a doting smile.

"Hmm, you'd better be sensible, Dad said, you have to cook for me!" Liu Yifei proudly brought out Old Lin Tou.

Lin Nan smiled speechlessly, nodding: "Okay, satisfy you.

In the country right now, it should be almost 12:00 AM on the 18th. It's only about twenty hours until New Year's Eve..."

After thinking for a while, Lin Nan looked at Tang Mu on the side.

"Tang Mu."

"Hmm? What's wrong, Lin?"

"Go help me buy ingredients, flour, vegetables, meat... forget it, I'll give you a list in a while."

"You want to cook? You can cook?" Tang Mu widened his eyes.

"Yes, Tang Mu. Tell you a secret, Lin Nan is a Chinese chef!" Liu Yifei said proudly, her face blooming with a smile.

"Can I join..."

"No!"

Lin Nan decisively refused. This guy actually wanted to sponge a New Year's Eve dinner? Not a chance!
