Rebirth Turn

In the end, "Can't Help" only won three awards: Best Supporting Actress, Best Actor and Best Director. It's not a particularly good result, but it's already quite good.

It was inconvenient for Su Mo to attend the celebration banquet after the awards ceremony, and Lu Yan, whether as one of the protagonists of the movie or one of the winners of the award tonight, had no choice but to attend.During the banquet, almost everyone persuaded him to drink in the name of congratulations, but Lu Yan was disrespectful, so he had no choice but to refuse all comers, and finally got away by pretending to be drunk.

The venue of the celebration banquet was at the hotel where they were staying. Lu Yan, who was pretending to be drunk, was helped back to the dormitory floor. When he reached the door of the room, he struggled and said that it would be fine to send it here, and he went in by himself.The person holding him was still worried and wanted to send it directly to the room, but Lu Yan insisted not to use it.He didn't seem like Lu Yan could even walk, and besides, he had already reached the door of the room, so there should be no problem, so he finally confirmed that Lu Yan could do it by himself and left.

When the person who sent him away walked away, Lu Yan quietly let out a sigh of relief, instead of taking out the room card to open the door, he lightly pressed the doorbell instead.The door opened quickly, and Lu Yan squeezed in.There was no light in the room. In the darkness, Lu Yan followed the door and grabbed a hand, then hugged it tightly. The familiar breath in his arms made him feel at ease and relaxed.

The door was knocked lightly, and the person who was being hugged stretched out his hand to caress the back of his neck, and said in a low voice, "Are you okay? Have you drank a lot?"

The breath that Lu Yan sprayed on the side of the other party's neck seemed to be drunk, and he whispered, "Fortunately, I drank a little too much, but it's not enough to be drunk."

Su Mo said softly, "I made you a pot of tea, do you want to drink a little?"

"Okay." Lu Yan responded, and slowly let go of his hand. At this time, his eyes have been able to adapt to the light in the room that only comes through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Su Mo, who had been staying in the room, took off his suit jacket long ago, only wearing a white shirt, showing his fine figure with narrow waist and narrow hips at a glance.Lu Yan watched almost greedily as he walked to the tea table with long legs, poured out a cup of tea from the teapot, turned around and handed it to him.

Lu Yan took off his white suit and tie, and unbuttoned the top button of his shirt. He took the teacup and said, "Why don't you turn on the light?"

Lu Yan took a sip while talking, the tea was a bit strong, but it was just right for sobering up.

Su Mo took the suit in his hand, turned back and hung it on the vertical hanger, and said casually, "You haven't come back yet, it would be bad if people saw the lights on in your room."

Lu Yan frowned slightly, looking a little sad.

Seeing that the cup in his hand was empty, Su Mo took it and asked, "Another cup?"

Lu Yan shook his head, "No, this little wine is actually nothing."

Su Mo then put the cup in his hand back on the coffee table. Lu Yan took his hand and gently moved him to sit on the sofa next to him. On the side of the leg, one foot is slightly bent, almost enclosing the person in his arms.

Lu Yan looked into his eyes and whispered, "Will you feel dissatisfied? Like now, it cannot be made public."

Su Mo smiled slightly and stroked his hair, "How could that be? The most important thing is that we are together. It doesn't matter what others think, whether you want to make it public or not. Besides, your status is special, I can understand it. ,you do not need to worry."

"But I think it's unfair to you." Lu Yan sighed.

Su Mo smiled, "Being with you is the best thing for me. What's more, like now, it's like having an affair, and it's quite exciting."

Lu Yan knew that Su Mo said this to comfort him, but he had to admit that he was indeed comforted.

Since they were together, Su Mo has always accommodated him more.Just like their relationship that cannot be made public for the time being, in fact, for Su Mo, whether it is public or not has no effect at all. His current status has ensured that others have no room for publicity about his private life, and the key lies only in himself.

It's one thing for Su Mo to be low-key and not showy, but he has never had to avoid anyone or anything, but for Lu Yan, he is willing to hide in the crowd again and again, and often, like today, wait quietly alone.

The most important thing is that Lu Yan knew that Su Mo didn't complain because he really didn't take it to heart, and he didn't think it was hard work in such a state.A person like Su Mo, who is extremely accomplished in all aspects, is willing to bow down, wait for him, and give in for him.Lu Yan couldn't help feeling that he was lucky, let alone cherish it.

Lu Yan stroked his cheek lightly, and said in a deep voice, "Please wait a little longer, I hope to disclose our relationship at the most appropriate time. I hope that we will receive more blessings than curses." many."

Su Mo's response was always so calm, "I believe that your decision is always the best. I will wait."

Looking at his trusting eyes, Lu Yan couldn't help but said, "Switzerland or the Netherlands, which do you prefer?"

"Huh?" Su Mo didn't react to the sudden change of topic.

Lu Yan smiled slightly and said seriously, "Let's get married."

Su Mo felt his heartbeat stopped for a moment, then started to speed up, and his breathing was also a little short. He looked into Lu Yan's eyes until he was sure that he was serious and not joking. Besides, he also believed that Lu Yan would not joke about such things. He slowly stretched his brows and eyes, and nodded vigorously, "Okay."

Originally, Lu Yan really had the urge to pull someone to get the certificate, but unfortunately, Su Mo was called back by a call from the company the next day. President Su finally found time to come here in his busy schedule.

Although Lu Yan felt a little regretful, he also breathed a sigh of relief.It wasn't that he regretted the impulsive marriage proposal. In fact, although he spoke hastily, he had always kept this matter in mind, and it was after careful consideration.In fact, their relationship does not have to be proved by a marriage contract, but this is a responsible attitude of a man.But it's good to take it easy, so you can have more time to prepare well.

After the Hong Kong trip, the promotion of "Hometown" is also on the agenda.

As the first film invested by Lu Yan's personal studio, it is still a film with such a huge investment, so it has to be treated with caution.

The studio's publicity team carefully planned a series of pre-publicity, from disclosing the shooting plan to soliciting shooting locations, and even launched a creative contest for the image of the new inhabitants of the earth that will appear in the movie.Of course, this is just a publicity gimmick. In fact, these tasks have already been completed as early as the crew's preparations.

In North America, there was also some publicity through [-]th Century Fox, of course mainly in terms of casting.There are rigid rules for joint venture films, at least one of the protagonists must be present, and Lu Yan is the leading male lead, so the female lead will naturally be decided by the American company.For this reason, Lu Yan and Li Ran made a special trip to Hollywood to find the heroine of the movie.

The actor union in Hollywood is very well-established. After handing over the relevant requirements and scheduled remuneration for the heroine, a list of eligible actresses who are willing to audition was soon returned, and a unified interview was conducted at the agreed time.The requirements for the heroine in this movie are not low. The first requirement is to be beautiful, then to have good acting skills, and finally to have a certain reputation.Lu Yan and Li Ran may be regarded as first-line actors and famous directors in their own country, but they are really nothing overseas, especially in North America.Therefore, the North American box office of this film, in addition to the film itself, may also rely on the appeal of the heroine from Hollywood. Naturally, the requirements cannot be too low.

However, even if the remuneration is given, it is quite tempting, but those real first-line actresses, actresses at the level of Oscar queens may still look down on this movie by the young director and leading actor from the East.The final selected heroine is called Reese Diaz. She has a sweet appearance and is the fastest rising and extremely popular Hollywood actress in recent years.In the past two years, she starred in two movies "Sweetheart Baby" and "The Stealing Plan" as the heroine, which have sold well one after another, which also pushed her to the front-line position.It's just that although she is famous now, she is still far away from the real front line.

The film "Hometown" attracts Reese Diaz firstly because of the attractive salary, and after reading the script, she is also very interested in this story, especially in the movie as a new resident of the earth who keeps some cats A humanoid heroine with family characteristics.It is precisely because of the consideration of overseas box office that in the later revision of the script, Lu Yan and the others also increased the role of the heroine, making the emotional development between her and the hero more natural, romantic and attractive.

After signing the contract and prepaying part of the film salary, this matter has been completely settled.In addition to the heroine, among the important and general supporting roles, Hollywood actors also accounted for a certain proportion.In addition to the special effects team, some professionals from Hollywood are also employed in photography, art direction, costume modeling and other positions.

At this point, the entire crew is truly ready to be built.

The initial publicity did not arouse much response in North America. Every year there are countless films that will be released in North America and are ready to be shot. Naturally, everyone will not pay too much attention to this joint venture film by a director they are not familiar with.

However, in China, the news that Lu Yan studio invested hundreds of millions of dollars to start shooting a sci-fi masterpiece has caused an uproar.Not to mention Lu Yan's newly established celebrity studio, even those film companies with a long history have never invested so much money in one go to make a movie that doesn't know what the income will be.You know, in China, hundreds of millions of RMB is already a huge investment, and there are only one or two so far, let alone the US dollar.

Most people thought Lu Yan was crazy.Even the fact that he just won the Best Actor award at the Hong Kong Film Awards couldn't stop people from thinking he was too self-indulgent and overconfident.Some people even, when they learned that the American investor was Twentieth Century Fox, sarcastically brought up the fact that the company had previously invested in another Chinese director for two tens of millions of dollars in box office fiasco, and barely recovered the cost. To discuss this is destined to be another failed investment.Some people even said viciously that if you want to make a movie without money, please go to [-]th Century Fox, where people are stupid and have a lot of money.

There are also some people who are curious about who is the investor behind Lu Yan's studio. Although the domestic investor is in the name of the studio, it is clear that Lu Yan's personal wealth is not enough to support this investment.Everyone guessed a lot, and they all thought that the biggest suspect was Xingkong, the old club, but for the time being, no one pointed suspicious eyes to Su Mo, the real behind-the-scenes boss of Xingkong.

It can be said that apart from fans who have always supported it, almost no one is optimistic about this movie with huge investment.

However, no matter what the outside world says, "Hometown" still started its filming process in a leisurely and unhurried manner in the public opinion.
