Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 257 Director Zhang Mou's Anxiety

The price Lin Yuan casually quoted immediately shocked the entire "Hero" crew.

In fact, he was still conservative in his words. If Mr. Eisen were present, he would tell everyone that the real price of this mansion should be around 8600 million US dollars.

Converted according to the current exchange rate, the value is about 6.5 million RMB.

"This price is really amazing. It's enough to shoot two "Hero" movies. I guess I will never be able to afford such a mansion in my lifetime." Director Zhang Mou sighed.

Although Lin Yuan reported a price of 6000 million US dollars, it was far beyond Director Zhang Mou's expectations. His understanding of Lin Yuan's strong financial resources deepened.

Gao Yuanyuan pursed her lips and said nothing.

Li Renjie said with mixed feelings, "Originally, I thought I could just about afford it if I gritted my teeth. Now it seems I'm still a long way off!"

Li Renjie is not being modest, but he really doesn't have that much money.

The movie "Rush Hour 2" directed by Brother Chen Long was a big hit, and he received a total of 4100 million US dollars in dividends.

If he wants to buy Lin Yuan’s mansion, he needs to shoot two "Rush Hour 2" movies.

For a mansion that even Chen Long finds difficult to afford, it is definitely even more out of reach for Li Renjie.

"No matter how much money or how big the house is, it's just a bed for sleeping. It's only truly valuable if everyone is happy living here." Lin Yuan said this and thought so in his heart.

He still remembered that when he first arrived in Hong Kong Island, Brother Chenlong invited him to live in his villa in Kowloon Tong.

He still remembers that thoughtful and considerate care, so he entertained the "Hero" crew in the same way today.

"That's what you said, so we should enjoy ourselves these days. But I still envy you for being able to live here every day." Zhang Ziyu said with a smile.

"How can I live here every day? I'm filming outside all year round. Sister Ziyu, if you like living here, I'll give you a key and you can come anytime you want." Lin Yuan replied.

"Give me the key, Xixi won't be angry?" Zhang Ziyu said with a smile.

"You're my sister, she knows that. Do you call her Sissi?"

"Yes, since you made it official, I found out that you have a girlfriend. She is in China, so of course I had to go find her and get to know her. Now we are already good friends. Don't worry, I will take care of her in China." Zhang Ziyu said.

"Thank you, Sister Ziyu."

Lin Yuan knew Zhang Ziyu's character. She was a person who was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, and she would not say empty and nice words to him.

She said she would take care of Liu Yufei, which means she would really help her do a lot of things and deal with many problems that Liu Yufei didn't mention.

"What is there to thank me for? If I can't take care of you, then I'll take care of my own siblings." Zhang Ziyu replied.

Lin Yuan nodded, and the topic ended there.

He led everyone to the three-story mansion and said, "There are ten rooms on each floor. You can choose the room you like. After you pack your luggage, come to the restaurant downstairs for dinner. The butler has prepared delicious food to welcome everyone."

"Okay! I want a south-facing room on the second floor!" Zhang Ziyu rushed out first.

The crew members no longer felt uncomfortable and went to choose rooms they liked.

Lin Yuan was standing downstairs, waiting for everyone.

After a while, the crew members chose their rooms and went back downstairs.

Seeing Director Zhang Mou looking a little worried, Lin Yuan asked directly, "Are you still waiting for the confirmation letter? Don't worry, it's not a big problem."

The so-called confirmation letter is actually a second invitation letter issued by the Oscar Organizing Committee.

It's an unwritten rule that the Oscars will send a second invitation to the crew that won an award at tomorrow's ceremony in advance, inviting them to attend and receive their award. The reason for this is actually very easy to understand.

Previously, the film crew received a notification of award nomination, but a nomination is just a nomination after all, and it is still a long way from winning the award.

Wasn't Lin Yuan also nominated for Best Actor? But does he really have a chance of winning the award?

If a film really wins an award, the organizing committee will send a second invitation to the crew.

This is a hint. Although it does not tell the crew what award they won, it means that there is at least one award, ensuring that the crew will be present to receive the award tomorrow.

On the contrary, if you do not receive this confirmation letter, it means that you have not won any award.

The crew members can choose not to attend the award ceremony. After all, celebrities also have to save face. It would be too embarrassing if they really went there and ended up winning nothing and just being a runner-up the whole time.

The organizing committee hinted at the winning situation in this way, so that the other party can have the right to choose.

As for those small stars and directors, they don't have so many taboos, because even if they don't win the award or even get nominated, they are happy to walk the red carpet and take advantage of the popularity of the Oscars.

It’s no wonder that Director Zhang Mou is a little anxious since he hasn’t received the confirmation letter yet.

"I just want to receive it as soon as possible so that I can feel at ease sooner." Director Zhang Mou smiled a little embarrassedly.

"There will be no problem. It seems that the vote counting at PricewaterhouseCoopers was a little slow today. The notice should be delivered soon." Lin Yuan comforted again.

The Oscar winners list is highly confidential, and the famous accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers is responsible for overseeing the selection and counting process.

The people who count the final votes are divided into several groups, and each group is unaware of the results of the other groups. The final results are usually counted the day before the awards ceremony, and the list of winners is placed in two sets of envelopes and kept strictly confidential.

Today is the day before the award ceremony. After the statistical results come out, they must first be sent to the Oscar organizing committee.

Then, based on the results, a second invitation letter will be sent to each film crew.

This process is quite complicated, so it is not surprising that it takes some time.

"Ding dong!"

As the two were chatting, the doorbell rang outside the courtyard gate.

Director Zhang Mou stood up immediately.

"Don't worry, if it's a confirmation letter, the housekeeper will send it over." Lin Yuan smiled and asked him to sit down.

Sure enough, after a while, the housekeeper came over with an envelope and handed it to director Zhang Mou.

"See, I said there wouldn't be any problem, right?" Lin Yuan said with a smile.

He had enough confidence, after all, he had dealt with Nick and got his account book.

Not to mention whether you can win those important awards, it is always better to come away empty-handed.

This confirmation letter only means that "Hero" will win at least one award at the awards ceremony tomorrow night.

But as for how many awards he can win and what specific awards they are, it is hard to say.

The suspense will have to wait until tomorrow night to be revealed.

"Yeah, yeah! I knew there wouldn't be any problems, but after receiving the confirmation letter, I was completely relieved."

Director Zhang Mou held the envelope tightly in his hand and said.
