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

Chapter 136 Media Comments
"Boom boom boom!"

"Who?"

"I."

Chen Nuo said unhappily, "Why don't we talk about it tomorrow?"

Qi Yuntian's voice was also helpless: "It really won't work."

"Hold."

Chen Nuo could only raise his face and look at the delicate neck and perfectly shaped jawline in front of him. He felt itchy in his heart and was reluctant to leave.

Wen Yongshan blushed and gently pushed him, then pulled the quilt over to cover her naked upper body, and said in a sweet voice, "Master Qi wants to see you for something, go now, and come back when Zhen comes back... I'll wait for you."

Chen Nuo had no choice but to get up, put on his bathrobe, and adjusted his lower body before opening the door and going out. "What's the matter, brother?"

Qi Yuntian seemed to have just finished a shower, and said helplessly: "I know you are very busy every night. After you finish this, you have to do that. I don't want to waste your precious time..."

"Alright, alright, stop it. Tell me what happened?"

"Leo's agent just contacted me. It turns out that tomorrow morning is the premiere of their film The 11th Hour. When he asked you to help promote it, he actually meant to ask you to walk the red carpet and watch the movie."

Chen Nuo was stunned: "Ah?"

Qi Yuntian smiled and said, "I was also quite surprised at first, but then I thought about it and realized that walking the red carpet is indeed a form of publicity, and what they said is not wrong."

Chen Nuo didn't really want to face the spotlight, but Leo had praised him so much before, and he didn't want to go back on his word two hours later, so he just nodded and said, "Okay, that's it?"

Qi Yuntian said: "Also, a director in China has contacted me. They are going to have the premiere tomorrow afternoon. Do you have time? Can you go and take a look?"

"Who?"

"My name is Li Yang."

"Is it the one who filmed Blind Shaft?"

"Correct."

Qi Yuntian sighed and said with a bit of pity: "He just told me a lot on the phone... When he was shooting this movie, his investor ran away. He spent 400 million yuan to finish the movie himself, and all his wealth is in it."

"This time, I didn't make it to the main competition, only to the secondary category of 'An Attitude'. Now I'm just hoping to win some award, sell the film, and make a little profit. I think it's pretty pitiful. So I didn't reject him, and came to ask for your opinion."

Chen Nuo thought about it. As a second-generation coal miner, he was deeply moved by the movie "Blind Shaft" in his previous life. He nodded immediately and said, "Then let's go to Leo's environmental protection film tomorrow morning and go to his place in the afternoon. We have to walk one show and two red carpet shows, so it doesn't matter if we are a little tired."

Qi Yuntian smiled: "Li Yang and his team didn't give you a red carpet to walk on. They have no money, so they didn't do anything. They just asked you to go and watch the movie tomorrow, and then they asked you to say a few words of recommendation. They will use it to attract film distributors."

Chen Nuo touched his nose, a little embarrassed: "So simple? Okay, nothing else?"

"Wait." Qi Yuntian asked, "Are you bringing a female companion tomorrow?"

"Who to take?"

Chen Nuo was still in a state of horny mind, and was a little slow to react for a moment, then he suddenly said: "You mean...Fan Binbing?"

Qi Yuntian said, "Yes, now that she has signed with our studio, it will be public sooner or later. Why don't you take advantage of tomorrow's opportunity to take her to walk the red carpet, and then I will find a few domestic reporters to come over for an interview. Then you can tell her about this and put an end to the rumors about you and her in China? The only problem is that I'm a little worried about Huayi's reaction."

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "Hua Yi is fine, don't worry. I talked to Wang Zonglei on the phone that day, and he may have known it was me. But whether he knows it or not, you are right, this matter cannot be concealed, and there is no need to conceal it. If Hua Yi really wants to go against us, then let it come."

He was really not worried, because he knew a lot about the mess that happened to the two brothers Wang Zongjun and Wang Zonglei in his previous life.

But of course Chen Nuo wouldn't say these.

Qi Yuntian nodded and said, "In that case, let Fan Binbing accompany you tomorrow."

Chen Nuo thought for a moment and said, "She can go, but I think she's more suitable for the gossip hype route. There's nothing wrong with the route Huayi used to run for her, but it was too low-end before. I want her to go a bit higher-end, at least to be on par with Zhang Ziyi."

Qi Yuntian was stunned and asked, "What do you mean? Don't you want to clarify your relationship with her?"

Chen Nuo said: "Not really, but I don't think it needs to be clarified. I just want to say that she has now switched to my studio. As for the truth, there is no need to make it clear."

Qi Yuntian looked Chen Nuo up and down, shook his head and said, "Awesome, when did you learn this trick?"

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "You figured it out so quickly?"

Qi Yuntian rolled his eyes. "How can you not understand this? You won't be in China for the next six months or so. The scandal with her won't have any impact on you. It can even help maintain your popularity in China. It's even better for her. It will help her popularity and topic value by making it impossible for anyone to guess your relationship. In short, you two are boss and employee on paper, but whether you are really like that, haha, let them guess..."

Chen Nuo not only looked at Qi Yuntian with a new respect.

This former rookie agent in the entertainment industry has really grown up very fast. With just a little click, he immediately understood.

It seems that signing Fan Binbing is really a good thing.

If he was the only artist in the studio and Qi Yuntian had to revolve around him all day, it would really be a waste of talent.

Now that Qi Yuntian and Fan Binbing, these two flamboyant people, have gotten together and are going to the United States to film, there will definitely be a lot of good shows to watch in the domestic entertainment industry.

Chen Nuo shook his head and said, "It's not my popularity, it's her popularity. Aren't you worried about Huayi? Huayi can't deal with me, the only one who can deal with her is her. As long as she maintains this high popularity, Huayi will not be able to do anything."

"When I finish filming Batman 2 and return to China, I will then bring Janice Man out to make an appearance, and the rumors will naturally be suppressed. Then, we will see what happens and decide whether to stir up her next scandal. As for who the target will be, I already have a candidate in mind."

Qi Yuntian nodded as he listened, and finally asked curiously: "Who is it?"

Chen Nuo chuckled and said, "Keep it a secret. Okay, go negotiate with Leonardo's agent now. If we really have to walk the red carpet tomorrow, we don't have any preparations here. I can still talk, but my female companion can't. You can ask them to help. We will pay for the top configuration. Don't be stingy with the money. I know Fan Binbing. If you give her some grass, she will definitely run fast in the future."

Qi Yuntian had no intention of questioning it at all, and readily agreed: "Okay, I'll contact them now."

He ran back and forth between the two rooms at night and went to bed very late. The next morning, Chen Nuo still got up very early.

The makeup team sent by Leo helped him dress up, and then he got on the stretched Lincoln sent by the crew of "The Eleventh Hour". Chen Nuo looked at the time and it was only 9:.

Fan Binbing was already waiting on the vertical sofa inside.

She was wearing a navy blue dress and was looking at some Polaroid photos in her hand.

As soon as Chen Nuo got in the car, she handed him the photo. "Does it look good?"

She was wearing this dress and was photographed on the balcony of the villa. The background was the blue water of Cannes, which matched her dress perfectly.

Her snow-white shoulders were half covered and half exposed, with her slightly curly long hair draped over one shoulder. Her cone-shaped face, which Yang Mi had always dreamed of, was fully exposed. Because there was really nothing to cover, there were basically no flaws.

Chen Nuo nodded: "It's okay."

Fan Binbing leaned over.

Anyway, there were only two of them in the huge carriage, and Qi Yuntian was sitting in the front row, with a thick black partition blocking the middle.

She asked in a tender voice, "Do you think I should call you Chen Nuo or boss from now on?"

From last night till now, Fan Binbing has not slept much.

Because everything happened so suddenly. After breaking up with Huayi, she not only lost her makeup team, but also her custom-made clothes were taken away. She thought she would not have the chance to walk the red carpet in Cannes this time.

But unexpectedly, the situation changed suddenly after 11 o'clock last night.

Suddenly, Qi Yuntian informed her that she would have to walk the red carpet the next morning.

She tossed and turned in bed until about 5 o'clock, when she was suddenly called up again because a top makeup team from DIOR had arrived at the villa. Not only did they bring 3 ready-made dresses for her to choose from, they were also responsible for her entire styling from head to toe.

By 7 o'clock, her red carpet look was almost complete and she was thinking about what jewelry to wear.

As a result, people from Van Cleef & Arpels came, and their designer brought a box full of jewelry. In the end, he personally picked a pair of earrings and bracelets for her based on her clothes and hairstyle.

Finally, the photographer from the DIOR team took her to the balcony to take these makeup photos.

It was only then that she realized that before walking on the red carpet, a truly top styling team would help you design poses in advance to show off your makeup and clothing in their best form.

As she was looking at the photo, she was wondering, if she stayed in Huayi, how successful would she have to be to receive such treatment?
She probably wouldn't be able to live to see another Bin Bing until he's 60 years old.

Chen Nuo was a little amused and deliberately put on a stern face: "What do you want to call me?"

Fan Binbing was really a little scared of him now. Seeing his serious expression, she quickly smiled and said, "I think you can call me anything. Haven't I called you everything before? Oh, don't be so serious... Do you want me to help you relax a little?"

Chen Nuo smiled, stroked her head, and said calmly: "Okay, the journey is still long anyway."

Fan Binbing gave him a coquettish look.

But I was thinking, what do you mean by "there is still a lot of time"? It doesn't matter if there is not a lot of time, because it won't take you much time anyway.

Just as Chen Nuo was sitting in the stretched Lincoln bound for the Palais des Festivals, trying desperately to extend the time, comments about "My Blueberry Nights" gradually spread in many media around the world.

Le Monde's film review: "An unparalleled aesthetic game, Wang Jiawei implemented his own style and turned a bad script into something beautiful. However, he should be more grateful to his actors."

"Thanks to Latalie Portman for her mature charm, thanks to the sexy Rachel Weisz, and thanks to his young and lovely heroine. These women have joined forces to present us with an aesthetic feast."

"And of course there's the Chinese boy, Chen Nuo. If it weren't for his calm performance beyond his age, this feast would be nothing but a castle in the air. His performance became the ballast of this exaggerated drama, giving this unreal story a sense of life."

The review in Liberation Daily was even more lengthy, but it was in a different direction: "This film is very superficial, like a person with oil all over his head. His purpose is obvious, he wants to attract people's attention."

"Dareth Congee, as a photographer who grew up in France, his exploration of the film's colors is extremely tragic. Especially the last kissing scene, it is said that they shot it for three days and three nights."

"But it is really worth it. Everyone who has seen it is amazed, and the philosophical meaning contained in it is even more worthy of our applause."

“Male and female, two naturally opposite sides, coexist in this painting. Just like Michelangelo’s world-famous “Creation of Adam”. Michelangelo cleverly used diagonal composition, placing Adam and God on the diagonal lines of the painting, creating a sense of movement and tension.”

"Dareth Conger used the same method to split Nochen and Emma Stone into two opposite and harmonious poles."

"At this point, the love between men and women, like God breathing life into Adam, injects soul into Wang Jiawei's films."

"Dareus Khondji can really win all the cinematography awards this year with this lens! He deserves it! And the performances of the leading actor and actress are also worthy of praise."

The Hollywood Reporter: "All applause goes to Emma Stone, this Arizona native who gave us an extraordinary performance with a blank resume. Amid the boiling admiration, we must not forget that it was her courage to pursue her dream at the age of 14 that led to her shining today."

"This is a love letter from Hong Kong director Wang Jiawei to Hollywood, and I want to tell Wang Jiawei that we have received it. From now on, the iron gate of Lalaland will be open to you. You will be the second Chinese director after Ang Li who is qualified to step through this iron gate."

"The film is poetic, soft, and filled with nostalgic pale yellow and hazy lights. The illusory romance of old Hong Kong also finds its foothold in the brightly lit high-rise buildings of New York."

"The deliberately slowed-down shot is full of dynamic and sexy close-ups. This time, the focus is not on the legs and skirt, but on the face."

"Close-ups of the face are not only a test for the director, but also for the actors."

"But Emma Stone stood the test and her performance exceeded everyone's expectations! She gave an Oscar-worthy and talented performance."

There is no doubt that this writer wrote the article in a state of great passion, and it is unknown why his editor did not make any minor changes but published the article as is.

Maybe this article is intended to gain some fans for Emma Stone.

The Hollywood Reporter's boasting about Emma did not stop there. In the next paragraph, it exposed its true ambitions and intentions.

"In this movie without a male lead, I don't know if the Cannes judges will still hesitate. But I think only crazy people and fools will ignore the excellence of this young American girl."

"Vote for her!"

"From the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, in Hollywood, the center of the film world, I shouted to the Cannes jury: This will be the best time for the Cannes Film Festival to demonstrate its authority. Give her the damn Best Actress Award, and you will gain the respect and recognition of Hollywood people."

Rachel Moore was not surprised at all when she saw these film reviews.

Le Monde is still relatively fair, but Libération is a den of nationalism.

The Hollywood Reporter...

Haha, one of the two major entertainment magazines in the United States has become a den of white supremacists.

The whole article is full of praise for the heroine, as if she is determined to win the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival.

What about the yellow-skinned male protagonist?
It was as if everyone had become blind, so much so that they couldn't see who was kissing and making love with Emma Stone.

Shameless.

but……

Rachel Moore suddenly smiled.

In this way, wouldn't her film reviews be unique?
Rachel Moore, a special contributor to Time magazine, said: "I actually hate Wang Jiawei. I think In the Mood for Love is the most overrated Cannes Best Actor, and Tony Leung Chiu-wai's Best Actor trophy is out of place."

“I don’t understand some of the shots in ‘My Blueberry Nights’. I don’t know why Wang Jiawei wanted to emphasize the speed of cars or trains on the road, as well as the background lighting. We have seen these things in several of his films many years ago.”

“But My Blueberry Nights turned out to be the biggest surprise for me at Cannes for one reason.”

"Its leading man."

"Nuo Chen's performance conquered everyone who loves movies. Of course, I am not saying that our heroine Emma Stone is not good, but I have thought in my mind that Emma can be replaced by many excellent actresses, but what about Chen? I can't think of a single actor who can replace him."

"His eyes, in particular, are a deadly weapon that can pierce the heart of anyone who believes in true love. I even believe that he can write the most beautiful twelve-line poem with his black eyes."

"After watching the movie, I walked out of the theater and was intoxicated by the late night Cannes."

"For professional film lovers - directors, actors, producers, publicists, critics - Cannes is always an alluring place. Every May, we descend on this Riviera resort like a group of pilgrims."

“We may watch 40 or 50 films from 20 or 30 countries. At the beginning of each screening, we hope to see something that touches our hearts, and at the end, we often have such expectations - hoping that the next film will be better.”

"However, I found that My Blueberry Nights destroyed my fantasy almost on the first night."

"I hardly believe that there will be a better film in this year's Cannes Film Festival, just as before I watched the film, I didn't believe that I would be moved by this film."

"I have to admit that the Chinese fellow countryman brought by Wang saved the remaining dozens of minutes of boredom and embarrassment with his limited role."

"You brought the right person, Wang Jiawei."
