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

Chapter 213 It’s not Wen Yongshan, it’s Liu Yifei
Sunday, February 2008, 2.

Outside the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles, the giant red carpet laid on the ground looks like the glowing embers after a fire.

It was past five in the afternoon and the sun had not yet set over the city of sunshine, but a bright starlight was already rising over Hollywood Boulevard.

Outside the heavily guarded Kodak Theater, a huge golden Oscar statue stands in front of the door.

Stars and celebrities of all kinds are entering the venue one after another on a long red carpet, and the eyes of the whole world are focused here.

This is the scene of the 80th Academy Awards ceremony.

The 80th edition, which means that this feast of capital, the world's most famous film event, the fame and fortune coveted by countless people, has celebrated its 80th birthday.

In the media interview and photo area, hundreds of photographers and reporters from all over the world had already entered.

Filmmakers from all over the world and Hollywood superstars also arrived in black cars.

They will get off the car at the other end of the red carpet, walk more than fifty meters and enter the interview area. The shouts of fans are endless and the lit spotlights are like a snow-white river, endless.

For the 80th anniversary celebration, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences went through a lot of efforts and finally overcame the turmoil of the screenwriters' strike to hold the awards ceremony as scheduled.

This came as a relief to ABC, the live broadcaster.

After all, for this anniversary celebration, more than 140 countries and regions around the world have signed broadcasting agreements. It is estimated that more than 10 billion people around the world will watch this event through live broadcast. The broadcasting fee alone is a huge sum of money.

The local ratings forecast experts in the United States predict that due to the 80th anniversary, this year's Oscars may be watched by more than 4000 million people in the United States, which is not far from the record of 71 million people watching the 4300st Oscars. The advertising fees alone are another huge income.

Therefore, how could ABC's many senior executives not secretly rejoice over this?

Especially this time, there are more audiences from the Eastern mainland in the Oscar audience.

That's a vast market of more than one billion people. Just making the name of the Academy Awards popular there will bring immeasurable wealth in the future.

Indeed, this year's Oscars are indeed different from usual.

Not only did CCTV-25 announce early on that the program would be rebroadcasted on the afternoon of the th, but CCTV.com also posted an announcement on its homepage three days earlier.

CCTV.com will provide full live text and picture coverage of this year's Oscars starting at 24 p.m. on the 5th, Los Angeles time, which is 25 a.m. on the 9th in mainland China.

We also invited well-known director Zhang Yibai, CCTV host Zhu Jun and senior film critic Bi Chenggong to be guests in the live broadcast room to chat about the Oscars.

That is, starting from nine o'clock, the number of online people in the live broadcast room began to rise continuously.

10, 20, 50, 100 million…

Fortunately, CCTV.com was well prepared this time. A colleague from the network technology department even boasted that even if there were 500 million people online at the same time, the network would not lag for even a second.

The so-called live broadcast with pictures and texts means that several guests sit in the live video room, looking at the text and pictures sent by reporters in front, looking for highlights in them, and then make some comments and chat about daily gossip.

Such as now.

Zhu Jun looked at a picture and started: "Ah, the audience in the live broadcast room should be able to see that this black female star in a black and gold dress is the famous American female singer Beyonce. I heard that she will perform a song and dance with the host Hugh Jackman, also known as the Wolverine tonight. Director Zhang Yibai, have you heard her songs?"

Zhang Yibai was stunned, and cursed in his heart, then smiled and said, "You've heard of it, right?"

Zhu Jun said: "Can you comment on it for our audience friends?"

I've heard that this person is not very smart, but I didn't expect it to be true. This 1 yuan notice fee is really hard to get. Zhang Yibai tried to keep smiling and said, "It sounds good."

Zhu Jun turned around and was about to continue asking Bi Chenggong, but unexpectedly Bi Chenggong shouted out, "Spielberg is coming..."

Hollywood's biggest stars were flocking to the Kodak Theatre every minute of this weekend afternoon, dazzling moviegoers around the world.

At this moment, the Kodak Theatre is the undisputed center of the movie world.

But it's not the weekend here in China, it's Monday morning.

Those CCTV viewers who flocked to watch the live broadcast at 9 o'clock on Monday morning, without going to work or school, were definitely not there to watch some European or American superstars. Most of them had one thing in common.

"What about Nuo?"

"Does anyone know when Nono will appear? I have a meeting soon!"

"Why are there so many foreigners? I just want to see Nono."

"The reason why there are so many foreigners upstairs is because that's in the United States."

"Will Nuonuo appear with Janice Man today?"

"Please don't, I beg you."

"I beg you too. I'd rather watch Nuonuo and Fan Binbing than Wen Yongshan."

"Me too! I'd rather watch Nuonuo and Yuan Shanshan than Wen Yongshan."

"Who is Yuan Shanshan?"

"I want you to manage."

So, such a pattern was formed in the live broadcast room of CCTV.com: the three hosts were chatting about European and American superstars on the red carpet, while the sticky rice in the chat room were talking about other people. They did not disturb each other and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

However, the scene outside the Kodak Theater was not so harmonious.

The arrival of superstars one after another drove the fans present into a frenzy.

The noise and screams filled the ABC live broadcast with a noisy background sound.
But ABC's live hosts, Tim Gunn and Robin Roberts, who are responsible for fashion and comedy, are still working hard to introduce this event to the global audience and invite superstars to the interview area.

From Kate Winslet, Amy Adams, Sean Penn, Anne Hathaway, to Anthony Hopkins, and the entire crew of "Slumdog Millionaire", all were interviewed by them.

When the superstar couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt walked on the red carpet, they were undoubtedly treated with great fanfare.

Tim Gunn first praised Jolie's evening gown designed by Valentino, and then Robin Roberts posted: "Julie, you will be invited to present the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor this time. I heard that you refused when the Academy invited you for the first time. What made you change your mind later?"

Angelina Jolie smiled and said: "When I declined, I didn't know it was the 80th anniversary of the Oscars. Later, when someone reminded me, I immediately changed my mind."

Robin Roberts then asked: "In your opinion, who do you think is more likely to win the Best Supporting Actor award?"

Angelina Jolie said: "Oh, this is a really difficult question. I think all five of them are very likely. Josh Brolin's performance in "Milk" amazed me, Robert Downey Jr. seemed to be a different person in "Tropic Thunder" and made great sacrifices, and Michael Shannon's "Revolutionary Road" made me intoxicated, and as for Philip Hoffman's performance in "Suspicion", it was absolutely perfect."

Tim Gunn was visibly surprised to see that she seemed to have finished her sentence.

He didn't expect that Angelina Jolie would miss someone in her polite words.

Just like in the live broadcast room of CCTV.com, after everyone saw the live text on the screen, both the audience and the host were surprised.

Zhu Jun frowned and asked, "Why did Angelina Jolie miss Chen Nuo? Did she do it on purpose, or did she forget?"

Zhang Yibai touched his smooth forehead and said, "I think he may have forgotten. After all, this is a live broadcast, and it is normal to be a little nervous."

Bi Chenggong objected: "I don't think so. I don't believe she put Josh Brolin first and forgot about JOKER. This is absolutely unreasonable."

Bi Chenggong's words resonated with many people in the live chat room, and some of the hot-tempered people in Nuomi couldn't help but start to criticize Angelina Jolie.

Similarly, in front of audiences around the world, this superstar who became famous overnight because of Tomb Raider and is now the most popular superstar seemed to have made a fool of herself. Everyone focused their attention and looked at the TV screen, wanting to know what was going on.

Outside the Kodak Theatre, Tim Gunn reminded, “Angie, you seem to have missed someone.”

Angelina Jolie asked in surprise: "Who?"

Tim Gunn kept smiling and said, "The actor who plays Joker is Nuo Chen." Angelina Jolie showed a look of sudden enlightenment in front of one billion viewers around the world, and said a little flusteredly, "So that's it, I forgot about the actor who plays Joker in The Dark Knight, the 21-year-old actor from China, Nuo Chen. Yes, I almost forgot that he set off a clown whirlwind around the world last summer, and also made my children smear my makeup on their faces every day. Nuo Chen, but according to Chinese custom, he should be called Chen Nuo. Okay, I remember, Chen Nuo, I will definitely not forget the name Chen Nuo when I present the awards later."

Audiences all over the world were laughing at Angelina Jolie's embarrassment, and they were unconsciously reciting the two strange syllables of "Chen Nuo".

In the CCTV live broadcast room, Zhu Jun asked hesitantly: "You two, do you think Angelina Jolie is advertising for Chen Nuo?"

Zhang Yibai frowned and said, "I think so. How many seconds did she speak just now? About 30 seconds, right? This is 30 seconds in the Oscar live broadcast. How much is it worth? Millions, right? And how many times did she repeat the two words "Chen Nuo"? She even said it in Chinese order. If this is not an advertisement, then I don't know what to say."

Bi Chenggong said, "But I haven't heard that Angelina Jolie and Chen Nuo are friends. Director Zhang, you are overthinking it. Angelina Jolie was obviously a little flustered just now, so it's normal for her to say something she didn't think of."

Zhu Jun laughed and said, "I agree with Mr. Bi. World superstars like Angelina Jolie are very concerned about their image. She is making herself a laughing stock. If it is really an advertisement, Chen Nuo would only do this if they have a very close relationship. As for Chen Nuo... well, to be honest, he may not have reached the level of being an equal to Angelina Jolie."

Zhang Yibai shook his head and said, "I still stick to my opinion."

The fans in the live chat room were still spamming the screen in unison, "Angelina, I'm sorry."

As soon as he heard what Zhu Jun said, he immediately started to talk about something else: "Zhu Jun, are you mentally retarded? Who do you say is unworthy?"

In fact, outside the Kodak Theater at this time, Brad Pitt, like the Chinese hosts, was somewhat confused about what was wrong with his wife. However, the Oscars red carpet was obviously not the right place to get to the bottom of things.

Facing countless flashes on the red carpet, the couple struck various poses to show their loving relationship for photographers to take pictures, in order to create a beautiful image of a harmonious family and a supportive husband and wife to the world, so that more advertisers would come to them and they could make more money.

When Brad Pitt wasn't paying attention, Angelina Jolie kept looking towards the other end of the red carpet, as if waiting for some friends who had not arrived yet.

The American Friends of Women are indeed a little late to the party.

The reason was that when Dior's makeup team was making the final touches on Ms Liu's look, they discovered that the chest of her black off-shoulder evening dress was a little tight, so they made an emergency adjustment, which took about twenty minutes.

Sitting on the Lincoln chair arranged by the Oscar Organizing Committee downstairs in the hotel, Chen Nuo couldn't control his mouth again and said in Chinese: "Didn't Ah Shan say that your figure is similar to hers? Have you gained weight?"

Before today, Liu Yifei felt that this was nothing more than just accompanying her friend and walking on the red carpet.

Even if I don’t win the award, my good friends will have a shoulder to cry on.

However, starting from noon today, after more than 5 hours of makeup, I was surrounded by seven or eight Dior makeup artists, who put every part of my body, even a single hair, in its proper place.

Liu Yifei suddenly realized that
So, I'm going to walk the Oscars red carpet?
A sense of tension ensues.

Just now, when the driver sent by the Oscars, wearing a suit, bow tie, and white gloves, opened the car door and asked her to get in,
This tension reached its peak, making her body tense up.

However, just after getting in the car, I suddenly heard Chen Nuo say this,
Liu Yifei's nervousness suddenly disappeared. She subconsciously lifted the V-neck on her chest, snorted softly, and said, "You are the one who has gained weight. I have always weighed 98 pounds, okay?"

Chen Nuo chuckled and looked her up and down, "You? 98?"

Liu Yifei said with a straight face: "Yes, a good woman is no more than 100, haven't you heard of it?"

Chen Nuo laughed and said, "Xixi, I remember the time you got drunk two years ago, also in LA, your mother and I carried you to the car together, I was almost exhausted to death. If you don't weigh 110 pounds, I will write the word Chen backwards."

What Chen Nuo said was really too much. As a scumbag, he knew that a woman's age and weight were secrets that should not be touched, but he still wanted to slander and defame Liu Yifei.

No wonder Sissi was so angry and didn't say a word to him for the next ten minutes.

But when the car was about to arrive at the Kodak Theater, Liu Yifei couldn't hold it in any longer and asked, "What should we do next?"

Chen Nuo asked curiously, "What should I do? Walking on the red carpet? You can't do that?"

"You!" Liu Yifei, such a gentle girl, couldn't help but hit Chen Nuo on the shoulder. "I mean, there will be an interview? But I'm afraid I'll say something wrong. What should I do?"

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "You need to practice more in the future, Xixi. Forget it, just smile this time, and I'll take care of the rest."

smile.

Liu Yifei should be one of the female artists with the best smile in China.

So, when the greeters on the red carpet opened the car door for her and she walked onto the flaming red carpet wearing a black DIOR haute couture dress and a long skirt, smiling, even the many foreign fans who didn't know her couldn't help but cheer at her beauty.

Although they didn't even know Liu Yifei's name, it didn't stop them from screaming as loudly as if they had seen a young Audrey Hepburn.

In addition to the fans at the scene, the most surprised people in the world were definitely Chinese netizens, such as the audience in the CCTV live broadcast room that was broadcasting the event with pictures and texts.

All I can say is that Chen Nuo and his team did a great job keeping the secret. They really wanted to take this opportunity to stir up some hype and pave the way for the release of their film "The Sound of Wind" in the future.

As a backup plan in case I don’t get the supporting actor role.

Therefore, from the hosts such as Zhu Jun to the audience in the live broadcast room, no one knew that Liu Yifei would accompany Chen Nuo to the Oscars.

Even when he saw the high-definition pictures sent back by the reporters at the scene, Zhu Jun couldn't help but ask three times: "Is this Liu Yifei? Is this Liu Yifei? Why did Liu Yifei become Chen Nuo's female companion?"

His question was exactly what the fans who were watching the live broadcast wanted to know.

“Oh my god!!!! Is this Liu Yifei???!!!”

"It's not Janice Man, it's actually Liu Yifei!!!"

"It's over, I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead, is this a dream?"

"Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu, going to the Oscars together? I'm already crying, sisters!"

"Oh my god! Is this some kind of magical plot? Is this Nuonuo's belated New Year's gift to us?"

"It's worth dying for me to see my aunt and Guoer walk on the Oscars red carpet together in this lifetime!!"

"Why is it Liu Yifei? Are Nuonuo and Liu Yifei together?"

"If it's true, I would rather be single for three years!"

When Chen Nuo got off the car, the entire comment section was already filled with "Nono Nono", and the number of online viewers also began to slowly increase from 102 million.

However, when Liu Yifei's graceful calves stretched out from the car, her right foot's 8cm diamond-studded black stiletto heels stepped on the red carpet,
Then she took the waiter's hand and stood out from the back seat of the car.
Finally, she wore a low-key and luxurious Dior off-shoulder black evening dress, with a faint smile, and held Chen Nuo's arm with her fair and soft arm.
The two walked together on the giant red carpet that was more than fifty meters long.

Just one minute later.

I don’t know why the news spread so quickly. In short, one minute later, the number of online viewers in CCTV’s live broadcast room directly exceeded 270 million.

Moreover, this number is still increasing rapidly at a rate of several hundred per second.

Don’t forget how Chen Nuo became famous.

It can be said that more than 90% of his old and die-hard fans are fans of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

They are all female fans who find Guo'er and Xiaolongnu so sweet that they wish they could die in their place.

When I saw Liu Yifei and Chen Nuo walking in front of the Kodak Theater at the Oscars ceremony, it felt like I was seeing the mythical story of Chang'e flying to the moon in the 21st century.

Looking at the photos on the computer screen, many girls had tears in their eyes.

However, with so many people across the ocean, Chen Nuo had no idea that the effect of Liu Yifei walking the red carpet with him would exceed his expectations and create a ratings storm in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

Although this was his first time attending the Oscars, he had seen similar scenes in Cannes.

Therefore, when he and Liu Yifei walked onto the red carpet after Hirosue Ryoko, who was invited for her role in "Departures," and were greeted with an instant surge of cheers, they did not seem too outdated.

Instead, he did not forget to joke with Liu Yifei: "Why so serious? Smile."

　Lu Li traveled to Uncle Jiu's movie world where evil spirits were everywhere. Fortunately, he awakened the deep blue points and smashed the evil spirits' dog heads all the way to pick the immortal fruit!
