That year Huayu

A public relations reception is not just about eating, drinking and socializing.

Lin Nan needs to promote and explain the connotation and meaning of the film's creation on stage with the main creators. In short, it is still publicity.

After a whole morning, I was very tired. To put it bluntly, Lin Nan had never been so tired in China.

He glanced at Leonardo. This guy was so energetic that he hadn't stopped since the reception.

In front of a group of Oscar Academy judges, he was laughing and chatting, and his face was almost bursting with laughter.

That's right, only in front of Oscar would DiCaprio be so "servile"!

Jessica Chastain and Naomi Watts are also working very hard, and aspiring actors cannot resist the temptation of Oscars.

"Lin, after the banquet at noon, there will be another one in the evening."

Tom ran up to Lin Nan with a wine glass and reminded him.

"His uncle, I know."

Seeing Tom's vulgar look, Lin Nan was furious: "Hurry up and wipe off the lipstick marks on your face, it's an eyesore!"

"Hehe, I didn't pay attention, I didn't pay attention."

At the end of the luncheon, the first public relations reception for "The Invisible Guest" ended successfully, and overall it was a success.

Several main creators met at Crystal Pictures.

"The shortlist for this year's Oscars will be announced in mid-January. By then, we will know whether our film has a chance."

"I will stay in Hollywood for about a week to ten days, and I will leave it to you for more than half a month."

Lin Nan said with a smile. The deadline for the first round of public relations is the end of December, because the college will start voting from the beginning of January.

As for whether there will be a second round of public relations, it depends on whether "The Invisible Guest" is on the list in the middle of next month.

"Lin, don't worry. Strictly speaking, the reception is just a platform to build relationships and build momentum for the movie. The real public relations are done in private."

What Xiao Lizi said is very appropriate. As expected, he has been running with me all year round and has rich experience.

"Leon's right, that's right," Jessica Chastain and Naomi Watts echoed.

"I just want to know what our box office was on the first day. If we can be nominated, then the rights to other regions will be easier to sell."

When Lin Nan said this, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Leonardo.

"Leon, I have to talk to you."

"Well, what are we talking about?"

"I want to buy the rights to this movie in the Chinese market, and I need your half."

"Lin, of course it's no problem."

In the afternoon, Tom also wanted to drag Lin Nan to hang out at other parties, but he refused.

He had to recuperate his energy to cope with the public relations reception in the evening, because DiCaprio would be absent from the second reception of "The Invisible Guest" to go to "The Wolf of Wall Street".

…………

Ever since Noon Sunshine and Lin Nan Pictures announced the "Nirvana in Fire" project, the mainland film and television industry has been paying close attention these days.

Because everyone can see that this will be the top TV series project in the industry, and there are really many characters in it.

Especially the male protagonist can be regarded as the "male protagonist" template, and many supporting roles are also very distinctive and bright.

"I heard from Senior Brother Yue Jun that although the audition and casting was handled by Noon Sunshine, Lin Nan still had to go through the final list.

You guys go to the audition first. If that doesn't work, just wait for Lin Nan to come back and go find him yourself. I've only met there briefly once, so it's not appropriate to ask like this. "

Many acquaintances came to Liu Yifei to find a way, but she all sent them back with the same words.

This is not considered to fool everyone, because Liu Yifei really felt that it was not good for her to interfere in the audition over there.

When I hung up the phone, it was already 10:15 in the morning.

Miss Liu was originally going to go back to sleep, but she calculated the time and it was just right to call Lin Nan!

I called as soon as I was told, and I didn’t want to waste a second longer.

Just after clinking glasses with Scarlett Johansson, Lin Nan's phone vibrated in her pocket.

Looking at the caller ID, Lin Nan naturally showed a warm smile on his face.

"Lin, you are busy first."

"Okay, Scarlett."

Under the watchful eyes of many guests present, Lin Nan went to a quieter place outside.

"Sissi, why did you get up so early today?"

"What, I was woken up by their phone calls.

Many people want roles in "Nirvana in Fire" and come to me. I ask them to audition or wait for you to come back to find you. "

There was no soft nasal sound in Liu Yifei's voice at this moment, and she was obviously awake.

And according to Lin Nan's experience, she had been awake for at least an hour.

"Well, it's good. Let's just say, I'll deal with it after I get back."

Lin Nan is not a saint. He also has friends. If appropriate, he can add people to the group.

There was still a cocktail party going on inside, but Lin Nan was having sex with Liu Yifei outside for more than half an hour.

He didn't have to hang up the phone until Tom came out to urge him.

"I have already agreed with Leon and the others that I will go back in a week to ten days."

"Yeah, I'll wait for you, muma, hehe..."

Lin Nan turned around with a smile and saw Tom's fat face, trembling with laughter.

"Lin, look at you smiling so happily, is this Crystal?"

"So, do you know how disappointing you are? Tom." Lin Nan said angrily.

"You can't blame me, Lin, you are the focus of the reception..."

…………

The first day of December is over.

"The Invisible Guest" held two public relations receptions, which officially made its appearance in Hollywood and during the awards season.

Lin Nan is looking forward to the box office results on the first day.

Although the competition during the awards season is very fierce, and "The Invisible Guest" is not a commercial movie, he still has a lot of confidence.

After all, Leonardo is quite popular at the box office, and the other two actresses are also very good.

The next morning, while Lin Nan was still lying in bed, Tom called. It was Lin Nan who gave him instructions.

"Tom, how much?"

"Lin, it's really good. Our movie is not a commercial film, but the box office on the first day was still very impressive. Paul just gave me the data, which was 18.36 million US dollars..."

Hearing this number, Lin Nan breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, this is his first foreign language film to enter North American theaters directly and participate in the box office split.

The previous ones "Buried Alive" and "Hunting" don't count. Those two movies sold the copyright at one time. The box office has nothing to do with him.

"Hahaha, with 18.36 million US dollars, there is absolutely no problem in getting back the capital. According to the rules of the North American market, as long as it doesn't collapse, you will definitely make money!"

Lin Nan is still very excited. He estimates that the total box office should exceed 200 million US dollars, which is very likely!

The cost of this movie is actually not that high.

Because it is an award-winning film, both actresses are paid about 2 million, and the most expensive one, Leonardo, not only reduced his salary, but also brought money to join the cast!

"As long as you can be nominated, the copyright in Europe and the copyright in other regions will be a net profit!"

The first day's data has been notified to all the main creators, and everyone is very excited.

…………

The media here in China have always been paying attention to news in Hollywood.

Because this is Lin Nan's first time entering the North American market, and it's a foreign language film.

This can be said to be unique to Scorpion Baba in the Mainland film industry!

Near 10 o'clock in the evening, Lin Nan's news appeared on the mainland's movie information, and it was directly parachuted to the front page.

"The foreign language film "The Invisible Guest," directed by Director Lin Nan and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jessica Chastain, and Naomi Watts, grossed US$18.36 million at the box office on its first day of release in North America..."

"This is the debut of a mainland director's foreign language film in the North American film market. Director Lin Nan has set and created a box office record..."

…

The domestic film industry has exploded, and it exploded in the middle of the night.

"Finally, there is a mainland director who went to Hollywood to steal property in an upright manner. Director Lin is awesome!"

"How many domestic blockbusters are clamoring for global release, and how much box office did they get in North America?"

"To popularize the science: "Golden Armor" is worth 6 million U.S. dollars, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is worth 320,000 U.S. dollars, "1942" is worth 310,000 U.S. dollars, "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" is worth 170,000 U.S. dollars... "Warring States" is worth 68,000 U.S. dollars, "Legend of the White Snake" $18,000..."

In China, not only the Internet is abuzz, actors and production companies in the film and television industry are even more excited.

"Director Lin Nan succeeded. Now he is a real Hollywood director, right?"

"Yes, already!"

"When one person achieves enlightenment, it means chickens and dogs ascend to heaven..."

…

Liu Yifei is a night owl, and she is currently replying to netizens’ flattery on Weibo.

"Producer Liu, your director Lin is amazing!"

"The first mainland director to truly make money!"

"Producer Liu, it's time to get married, don't let him run away."
