Huayu: I'm reborn, but you still force me to be a scumbag?

Chapter 116 Everyone is drunk
rest?

According to Chen Nuo, Liu Yifei is now considered a first-tier actress in China, especially in the middle of the year when the Chinese Paladin series started to gain popularity. She played Wang Yuyan, Zhao Linger, and the upcoming Little Dragon Girl. She is the dream goddess of all the boys born in the 8090s and s. Shouldn't she be making rapid progress? Why did she suddenly take a break?
He didn't know if Liu Yifei had this experience in her previous life, so he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Does your mother agree? And what about your agency? What do they say?"

I don't know why, but Liu Yifei burst into tears at such a simple question. Big tears kept falling from her eyes, making Chen Nuo flustered for a while. He comforted her and handed her paper. After a long time, Liu Yifei finally calmed down.

The waiters who brought the food to the table looked at Chen Nuo with strange eyes, as if they didn't understand why someone would make such a lovely girl sad.

"I don't care about them. I just want to rest. I don't want to film or sing. I don't want to do anything now." Liu Yifei said angrily, looking at the vegetable salad in front of her.

Chen Nuo didn't know what happened, but he didn't know how to ask, so he just said, "That's right, you've been in the industry for so long, filmed so many TV series, and also filmed several movies. You've worked much harder than me, so it's time to take a break."

A sneer appeared on Liu Yifei's pretty face. She said, "You call that a movie?" After that, she shook the bell on the table, waited for the waiter to come over, and said, "I want to order some wine. Please give me the wine list."

Chen Nuo couldn't understand now that Liu Yifei's bright smile when they first met was all an act, so it looked a little exaggerated. This person was obviously worried. He hesitated for a moment, but still advised: "Drinking in the middle of the day is not a good idea, right? And you drove the car. We are not yet 21 years old."

Liu Yifei stared at him and said, "Are you going to drink with me or not?"

Chen Nuo was still in shock from the drunken incident in Hong Kong not long ago, but seeing Liu Yifei like this, he had no choice but to nod.

Luckily, this restaurant probably didn't dare to sell strong liquor to minors, so they only had low-alcohol red wine. The two of them drank slowly, so they didn't get drunk. They ate and drank at the same time, and before they knew it, they had finished more than half of the bottle of wine.

Chen Nuo's face was a little red and his body was a little hot at the moment. On the other hand, Liu Yifei's face was like a pink peach, her eyes were watery when she looked at people, and there was a bit of charm in her eyes.

In fact, Chen Nuo had started to persuade him twenty minutes ago, but he just wouldn't listen. When he got anxious, he looked like he was about to get angry.

This time, Chen Nuo firmly held down the glass and said, "Alright, that's enough."

Liu Yifei seemed to be really drunk, and laughed, "Chen Nuo, do you know why I like playing with you?"

Damn, he was really drunk. Chen Nuo had a headache, not knowing what to do with this lady. Could he really just leave her in a hotel like he did with Xia Yehe? Or should he call her mother and ask her to pick her up? Either way, it seemed like there would be trouble.

He could only sigh and ask, "Why?"

Liu Yifei said: "Because you are the only one who truly regards me as a friend."

Although Chen Nuo has made three movies since his debut, two of which are art films, he is not really an arty young man. After hearing Liu Yifei's arty words, he could only play the role of a supporting actor. "What do you mean?"

Liu Yifei didn't seem to know how to explain it. After thinking for a while, she said, "Anyway, I can see from your eyes that the way you look at me is different from the way you look at others."

Chen Nuo understood a little.

It's just that the other young men haven't seen much of the world and can't hold their own in front of beautiful women like him. Seeing that Xiao Liu is acting like a bootlicker, he naturally feels uncomfortable.

This is not surprising, as his aesthetic taste was honed in 2024. Back in the early 2000s, in his eyes, whether it was Liu Yifei or Yang Mi, their outfits were actually a bit weird most of the time.

In this era, if a woman wants to impress a man, she needs to wear as little clothes as possible, or even nothing at all.

cough.

When hearing what Liu Yifei said, Chen Nuo smiled and said, "Actually, all men are the same. I will also be tempted when I see a beautiful woman. Don't think I'm a saint. Do you want to come over and touch me? My heart beats so fast when I have dinner with you alone like this."

Liu Yifei was really drunk. When Chen Nuo said that, she really stood up and stretched out her hand to touch her. Chen Nuo was shocked and covered her chest like a young lady being teased, saying, "Okay, I was wrong, stop touching me."

Liu Yifei snorted and sat back down. "Don't think I don't dare. Let me tell you, I'm different now."

It was indeed different. Looking back at the girl who didn't dare to speak loudly and always hid behind her mother just over a year ago, and now looking at the young woman who was full of femininity and free and easy, Chen Nuo couldn't help but sigh that he was not the only one who changed rapidly over time.

Just then, his cell phone rang. It was Qi Yuntian calling.

Chen Nuo was not wary of Liu Yifei, so he picked up the phone and asked, "How is it going? Is the deal done?"

Qi Yuntian said indignantly: "No, they sent an old woman to nag me for the whole morning, saying it's either $100 million or $50 plus a / share."

Chen Nuo asked: "So what are you going to do next?"

Qi Yuntian said: "In one word, hold on. This kind of psychological game, I used to get high marks in business negotiation class. In a word, at this time, we must not think about our disadvantages, but think about where else they can find another clown except you! The Mystery of the Joker has a global box office of 3.7 million. For this sequel, we want 50 plus % of the box office share. Is that greedy? Haha, Warner wants to get a bargain, dream on!"

Chen Nuo said: "I think when the time is right, 50 can be reduced, but the % commission cannot be changed, understand?"

Qi Yuntian said: "Hmm, are you so confident about your own box office?"

Chen Nuo, under the influence of alcohol, said disdainfully: "I defeated Heath Ledger, what do you think? Now you'd better not mention the word confidence in front of me, I'm afraid I will explode right away."

Qi Yuntian laughed and said, "That's right. Okay, let's do this. I'll go have a burger with our lawyer and then go back to continue arguing with them. You wait for my news."

"Ah."

After the call ended, Chen Nuo took the initiative to speak before Liu Yifei could ask, "We are discussing a new film and the contract is being negotiated. The salary has not been finalized yet." Liu Yifei just listened to what Chen Nuo said. She was drunk and didn't understand anything else, but she heard the 50 yuan clearly. She felt a little uncomfortable for him and said indignantly, "I asked you to make a movie, but you only gave you 50 yuan? You are the Berlin Film Emperor and the male lead of Wang Jiawei's movie!"

Chen Nuo was startled by Liu Yifei's tone.

Damn it, I thought I was making money pretty fast and my pay was pretty good now, but it seems like it’s nothing in front of other people.

Damn it, when Zhang Jizhong said that he guaranteed that he would have the highest salary among all the actors in the show, was he kidding fools?
"What? Very little?" Chen Nuo's voice became much softer.

Liu Yifei's cheeks flushed, and she said drunkenly, "Of course it's less... I'm telling you, only one-third of mine. Hey, you still have to take more commercial blockbusters in the future, okay? If you love this kind of thing, it's good, but your screen time is too short, which doesn't help you much in raising your value. You have to find a way to take on some films directed by Zhang Yimou or Chen Kaige, which will be better for your career. Otherwise, you won't even be able to take on commercial performances, let alone make any money. Got it?"

It's ridiculous. I used to think I was pretty good and could treat Liu Yifei to a good meal. Now it seems that I am the clown.

Chen Nuo was actually 50% drunk, while Liu Yifei was at least 70% drunk. Neither of them cared much about what the other was saying, so Chen Nuo's self-esteem was really hurt.

Just now he felt like he was going to heaven, but now he felt that he was not even qualified to polish Liu Yifei's shoes. Chen Nuo felt a stinging feeling of humiliation all over his body. He picked up the phone and called Qi Yuntian again.

Qi Yuntian seemed to be chewing a hamburger, and said with a grunt, "Hey, what's wrong?"

"Go tell Warner this afternoon that it's 100 million plus % of the commission. I won't accept it if it's even a penny less. Let them do whatever they want. I'm having dinner with Liu Yifei right now. She thinks that we are like beggars for taking this little money to film a movie. We should go back to China and settle for the future. I can't afford to lose face like this."

Qi Yuntian started coughing when he heard the name Liu Yifei. He seemed to have taken several sips of beverage before he stopped coughing. "Why are you with Liu Yifei? When did she come to the United States?"

"Never mind, did you hear me?"

Qi Yuntian hesitated and asked, "Did Liu Yifei really tell you that?"

"You think I'm making trouble with you?"

"Are you sure you want to confront Warner's people like this?"

Chen Nuo slammed the table and said, "Fight! Fight hard! Let me tell you, no one can help with this matter today. If you have any problems, let Barry Meyer call me personally." Barry Meyer has been the CEO of Warner Bros. since 1999.

As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter came over and said, "Sir, please don't disturb other guests' meals."

Chen Nuo then noticed his surroundings. Sure enough, the foreigners around him were looking at him with surprised eyes. He suddenly came to his senses and said to the outside, "Sorry."

Then, a woman whistled and said, "It's okay. Chinese, speaking Mandarin, right? Handsome boy, I don't mind you chatting for a while, I actually feel like I'm watching the Chinese version of Friends."

When she said this, everyone around her burst into laughter.

"YEAH, I thought so too."

"I think he looks a lot like Chandler."

"No, no, no, I think he's much younger and more handsome than Chandler."

"Is that his girlfriend?"

"should be."

"Pity……"

Chen Nuo ignored these foreigners, sat down, lowered his voice, and said to the phone: "Did you hear it?"

"Yes, my boss."

After finishing the meal, Chen Nuo felt his head was extremely heavy and his eyelids were almost unable to open. Liu Yifei in front of him had been lying on the table, motionless.

The waiter with a gray beard who had greeted them earlier came over and asked, "Sir, do you need any help? Do you want me to call Miss Liu's mother?"

Chen Nuo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "OK, go ahead. I'll wait here."

As he waited, he fell asleep.
