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

Chapter 215 "Nuo Chen, THE DARK KNIGHT."

In the CCTV live broadcast room.

Zhu Jun laughed and said, "Haha, it seems everyone has misunderstood. Chen Nuo must have had a plan in mind and said it on purpose. I apologize to Chen Nuo and all the glutinous rice fans for the misunderstanding just now. Haha."

Bi Chenggong also laughed and put his hands together and bowed to the camera: "Me too, haha. I said Chen Nuo has no sense of humor. It seems that I am the one who lacks a little humor. However, I really didn't know that Chen Nuo was so eloquent. Hahaha, it seems that I didn't read a script at the Tokyo press conference. Wrong, wrong, I won't dare to do it next time."

Zhang Yibai looked at the shameless looks of Zhu Jun and Bi Chenggong, and sighed again that if something like this happened again next time, 10,000 yuan for the announcement fee would not be enough.

The main thing is that it is easy to get hurt by mistake. For example, aren’t those netizens in the live broadcast room just scolding him?

"Stupid host, if apologies are useful, why do we need the police?"

"Can CCTV.com please not invite these idiots next time? Can't you find anyone else? Where is Dong Qing?"

"Where was the one refreshing the screen just now? Why didn't you continue refreshing it? What happened to Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu? What's the problem? Tell me!"

"That person must have slipped away a long time ago. Wow, what Nuonuo said just now was so wonderful, so touching."

"Nono is very eloquent, and he really respects us girls."

"Yeah, yeah, I'll copy it down and show it to our stupid head teacher, so she knows that not every celebrity is uneducated!"

Not only were the Nuomi fans of China Central Television moved, but the brows of women around the world who were watching the Oscars live broadcast also relaxed.

Women from various countries who knew Chen Nuo proudly introduced him to the people around them, saying that this handsome and humorous young man with an Asian face was actually the Chen Nuo that Angelina Jolie had just mentioned, and that the word "JOKER" he said was a double entendre.

Many families around the world who didn't know Chen Nuo couldn't help but turn on their computers and start searching online.

In the global hot word list of Google search engine, the word NUO CHEN ranked in the top five within ten minutes. Before it, there were two related words, one was Oscar and the other was an Asian actor.

I can only say that Chen Nuo, this scumbag, really knows how to understand women's sensitive points.

Whether it is physical or psychological, I know it very well.

A large proportion of women who watch TV around the world are like this, so how could Liu Yifei be an exception?

After leaving the interview area, Chen Nuo exchanged pleasantries with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

Mainly Angelina Jolie.

It can be seen that their last conversation left Angie with a good impression of him.

Moreover, after hearing his advertising slogans just now, Angelina's attitude towards him became even more unusual.

Although Chen Nuo didn't know at that time, Angelina Jolie had swallowed her pride and advertised for him in front of the whole world.
But that didn't stop him from responding to Angie's enthusiasm.

When he and Angelina kissed each other on the cheek, the intimacy between the two was so intense that even Pitt's expression became a little stiff.

Afterwards, Chen Nuo took Liu Yifei back to the red carpet and started taking pictures for the photographers. Only then did he realize that Liu Yifei seemed to be moved by his nonsense.

The distance between her body and his did not get any closer, but when she spoke, there was a slight nasal tone.

The tone is a bit doubtful.

"Chen Nuo, did you remember it wrongly? I have never climbed a glacier, nor have I fished for cod. Also, I did encounter robbers preparing to rob a department store, but that was in Buenos Aires, when I went to Antarctica..."

This actually shocked Chen Nuo, "What? Have you really been robbed?"

Liu Yifei uttered an "ah" and turned her face around suddenly, frowning slightly, like a breeze blowing through the snow, leaving some light marks, "Didn't I tell you? Then why did you just..."

"Yes, of course I did. I just made a slip of the tongue... Um, turn around quickly. We should take two more pictures before we enter the venue."

Chen Nuo did what he said, and after just a dozen seconds, he and Liu Yifei walked into the Kodak Theater together.

This is a building designed and built specifically for the Academy Awards ceremony.

In the future, due to the bankruptcy of Kodak, it will be renamed Hollywood and Highland Center.

But the change of sponsors does not affect its status as the permanent venue for the Oscars since 2002.

This was obviously not Liu Yifei's first time here, she must have visited here before.

When entering the door, he took the initiative to introduce it to Chen Nuo, saying that the pillars on both sides displayed the names of all the Oscar winners since 1928.

"Chen Nuo, after tonight, your name will definitely be engraved on it. Look, it will be in this format. NUO CHEN, 2008, The Dark Knight."

Liu Yifei pointed her finger at a name on the pillar and said seriously.

Chen Nuo looked at her from the side and behind, and saw that her eyes reflected the light from the crystal chandelier on the ceiling. Her pupils were almost light gold and she seemed extremely focused.

The expression on her fair face was exceptionally firm, without even a hint of joking.

It was obvious that she really thought so in her heart and believed so firmly.

At that moment, even though Chen Nuo had a heart as hard as stone, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"I hope so."

Chen Nuo smiled as if to hide his mistake.

In fact, not only Liu Yifei, doesn't he also want to win this award?
How he longed for it.

Apart from the practical significance of rumors, box office, etc.

On a higher level, this award means more to him than just a supporting actor award.

Chen Nuo felt that if he was lucky enough to hold the little golden man in more than an hour, he could carve his name on these pillars and leave his palm print openly on Hollywood Boulevard outside...

Only then could he confidently say to himself who had just been reborn more than three years ago: "Enjoy this life to the fullest, kid. The path you chose is not wrong. So keep going. Perhaps this is the meaning of your second life."

To put it bluntly, Chen Nuo didn't know whether he had eaten enough, or the idea that had been in his mind for a long time had gradually turned into some kind of obsession.

In short, in his opinion, the joke he made at the beginning, such as winning an Oscar for Best Actor and proving himself to the world, has become something that must be done.

It has even risen to a level that has nothing to do with monetary interests.

However, the Best Supporting Actor award is still up in the air, so there’s no point in thinking about the future.

Chen Nuo put his complicated thoughts aside and walked into the circular hall of the Kodak Theater with Liu Yifei under the guidance of the staff.

This time, the seat Oscar gave him was in the third row on the left, next to Nolan.

This is already the best position in the entire Dark Knight crew.

Because at this Oscars ceremony, apart from Nolan and Chen Nuo, stars such as Christian Bale and Morgan Freeman were not present.

Despite Warner's public relations, The Dark Knight finally did not receive a single nomination at the Oscars like it did at the Golden Globe Awards, with only Chen Nuo being nominated.

However, it failed to win any major awards such as Best Director, Best Picture, or Best Actor and Actress.

As if out of pity, the Oscar judges gave this film the highest-grossing film in the world in 2007, which is also the second highest-grossing film in the world in history. Now it still ranks first on IMDB with a score of 9.5.
Some irrelevant awards like Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Effects, Best Art Direction, etc.

There are eight nominations in total.

But,
Even Michael Slan flew into a rage at an internal Warner meeting, saying that Warner Bros. had been humiliated again.

In this case, Christopher Nolan naturally sat next to Chen Nuo.

He came with his producer wife.

So, there were four people and four seats, with the two men in the middle and their female companions on both sides.

This also made it very easy for the photographer on the scene to capture the expressions of the two core characters at the same time.

The Oscars ceremony started at 7pm sharp.

At this time, the Kodak Theater was already filled with well-dressed men and women, and all 3400 seats were occupied.

All kinds of superstars gathered here, and the eyes of the whole world were also turned to this place.

The host Hugh Jackman is undoubtedly at the peak of his appearance at this moment. When he walked out from the backstage, he was so handsome and charming.

Even Chen Nuo couldn't help feeling a little jealous.

"Good evening, and welcome to the Oscars, which is undoubtedly the biggest festival of the year in the film industry..."

After the usual opening welcome speech, Hugh Jackman began to point out the theme of this year's Oscars: "As we all know, the Academy loves multiculturalism."

"Like Kate Winslet. Ladies and gentlemen." Hugh Jackman stretched out his hand to guide the camera, letting it fall on the face of the actress who played Rose, the heroine of Titanic.

Amid the applause in the hall, Kate Winslet smiled a somewhat shy smile.

Hugh Jackman's Australian accent sounds extremely clear and clean: "As a British person, she played a German in The Reader, so she got an Oscar nomination." "Likewise, ladies and gentlemen, in The Dark Knight, No Chen,"

At this time, the photographer was already standing next to Chen Nuo and Liu Yifei's seats, taking pictures of them.

As soon as Hugh Jackman finished speaking, a switch was called in the director's room, and Chen Nuo's face appeared on the big screen at the scene and on the TV screens of Oscar audiences around the world.

Maybe it's the American way of hospitality. At this time, the applause in the hall was even louder than Kate Winslet's, and some people even whistled.

Chen Nuo also showed a slightly embarrassed smile, and even turned his head and said something to his female companion.

What he said seemed to be a joke, because Liu Yifei also followed him and showed her signature sweet smile in front of hundreds of millions of viewers around the world, the kind of sweet smile with dimples without showing the teeth.

This smile not only gained her perhaps one million fans from all over the world, but also made Liu Xiaoli so excited that she shed tears in front of the TV screen.

She felt that she would not trade such a scene for 100 million yuan. Because Zhang Ziyi earned more than 200 million yuan from those two Oscar appearances!

Moreover, Liu Xiaoli also felt that she was blind to think that Chen Nuo was not good at hype and did not know how to attract fans.

Because she can guarantee 100% that Liu Yifei was definitely not amused by Chen Nuo.

Doesn't she know her own daughter well? If she really laughs, she won't look like this.

Liu Xiaoli guessed correctly.

What Chen Nuo said was not really a joke, but rather: "Smile quickly, smile beautifully. Whether you can make money for the company depends on this."

After Chen Nuo finished greeting everyone, Hugh Jackman continued, "He was nominated for an Oscar as a Chinese for playing a white American in an American cartoon."

After saying that, he gestured on his face, meaning that no matter what, at least the clown's face was white.

"Robert Downey Jr., an American, played an Australian pretending to be a black American in Tropic Thunder, and was also nominated for an Oscar."

Amid the faint laughter that sounded in the hall,

Hugh Jackman spread his hands helplessly and said: "And I, an Australian, played an Australian in Australia. So, I am here as a host now."

The laughter in the hall was much louder now. It was indeed quite humorous, and both Chen Nuo and Liu Yifei were amused.

“This is Oscar.”

“We respect artists of different races and nationalities from all over the world. We admire their performances and are amazed to see them on the screen in various forms and costumes, bringing new feelings to the audience.”

“It is they who make the art of film so colorful and enduring.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was thunderous applause in the hall.

The camera swept across the faces of Kate, Chen Nuo and Robert Downey Jr. again, and all three of them were clapping seriously.

After the applause died down, Hugh Jackman made a few jokes about the academy, and then this Australian actor, who came from a stage play background, performed an extremely wonderful song and dance.

What's more, the song is quite creative, as it puts together the names of all the films nominated this year in the lyrics.

When Hugh Jackman sang about The Dark Knight, he sang: "Why are movies adapted from comic books never nominated for Best Picture? Why is the whole world obsessed with the Joker and going to watch The Dark Knight, even though it has a box office of 1 billion, it still can't prove anything..."

At this moment, Chen Nuo noticed that Christopher Nolan beside him had a hint of angry smile on his face.

Then, he turned around and said to Chen Nuo with a serious face: "Chen, in the future I must make an unprecedented "Batman 3" to let those arrogant Americans in the academy know that they were wrong from the beginning. Are you willing to join?"

Chen Nuo looked at the angry and unwilling eyes of the blond British gentleman, shrugged and said, "Of course, I'm in."

Nolan smiled and said, "OK, let's turn the Kodak Theater upside down together in the future."

After the opening dance, it was time for the first award.

Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

It was indeed the 80th Academy Awards. The Academy made it a grand event this time.

They actually invited five male movie stars who had won the Best Supporting Actor award in the past to introduce this year's five Best Supporting Actress awards.

Finally, the Best Supporting Actress award was won by the beautiful Spanish actress Penelope Cruz, who took the Oscar from Christopher Walken for her performance in "Midnight in Barcelona".

The Best Supporting Actor award was the eighth award presented during the lengthy ceremony.

It was right after Beyoncé and Hugh Jackman’s song and dance performance.

At this time, the ratings in the ABC studio showed that the national ratings officially exceeded 4000 million.

Rosen Hanks also clapped his hands and said, "Okay, everyone, cheer up, there are five more award presenters. Be ready to switch screens at any time. I'm really worried that these women will cause trouble, and then the seven-second delay will not be enough."

During the TV commercial break, five past Oscar winners for Best Supporting Actress walked onto the stage, holding up their skirts.

They are Eva Saint, Anjelica Huston, Whoopi Goldberg, Tilda Swinton and Angelina Jolie.

After the commercial break, under the gaze of the global audience, five curtains rose, revealing five award presenters dressed in gorgeous attire.

First, let's start with Eva Saint.

"The term 'actor's actor' is often used to describe someone who is dedicated to his acting career, strives for excellence, and is humble and polite. For example, Philip Seymour Hoffman. In 'Suspicion', Philip plays the role of father Finn, a role that allows the audience to travel back and forth between truth and illusion. Philip, you make us swing in uncertainty, suspicion, confusion..."

In Eva's black-accented English, she praised Philip Hoffman's performance, and his face appeared on the big screen.

Chen Nuo looked at his biggest rival, but found it hard to feel any hostility towards him.

Because the expression on the man’s face on the big screen was clearly a reminder of his performance in the film during Eva Sainte’s introduction.

The look in his eyes behind his glasses was full of emotion, even sadness, and there were faint flashes of tears in his eyes.

Philip Hoffman is not a star, but a real actor as Li Er said. He is an opponent he should respect, not an enemy he should resist and attack.

At this moment, an inexplicable emotion suddenly surged in Chen Nuo's heart.

Perhaps the result tonight has nothing to do with success or failure, and there is no win or loss to speak of.

What public relations and lobbying, what Warner and Miramax, in fact, these are all insignificant clouds.

At this moment, it's just a tribute between one great actor and four other great actors.

Next, one by one, the previous Oscar Best Supporting Actress winners introduced the candidates for this year's Best Supporting Actor.

After Tilda Swinton, who ranked fourth, introduced Robert Downey Jr., the Iron Man in Tropic Thunder,

It is the turn of Angelina Jolie, the winner of the 69th Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and a candidate for this year's Best Actress.

Angelina stared into the camera with her soft grey-blue eyes and said slowly: "Of all the movies this year, of all the amazing and striking characters, perhaps the most memorable one is the man in the clown makeup in the movie."

Angelina continued: "He leaned his head out of a speeding car in the night wind of Gotham City, laughed wildly in the night, and enjoyed the chaos he created in the world."

Chen Nuo looked at Angelina Jolie on the stage in a white dress, and listened to this world-class superstar slowly introducing her view of his performance.

For a moment, I was immersed in memories of the past.

His face appeared on the big screen.

This face with black hair and black eyes is undoubtedly the most special face that has appeared on the big screen at the Oscars ceremony so far tonight.

"Chen Nuo."

Angelina Jolie pronounced the name in the correct order, just as she had promised in the interview.

"His performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight kept us on the edge of our seats throughout the entire 120-minute movie."

"We are so scared and curious about what kind of mischief this man will do next to make our hearts stop."

"His subversive and daring performance attracted all of our attention in the movie and also set off a wave of imitations around the world."

"He faced numerous doubts, but he eventually defeated them."

"He left us a unique and charming classic character this summer."

After Chen Nuo's role as Joker in The Dark Knight was shown on the big screen, Angelina Jolie looked at Chen Nuo and smiled, "Actor from China, Chen Nuo, I would like to congratulate you on your extraordinary work this year."

Chen Nuo took a deep breath, rubbed his slightly sore nose, and forced a smile at Angelina Jolie.

After the applause from the audience, Eva Saint opened the envelope. Without wasting time or playing any tricks, she directly read out the name in the envelope.

"NUO CHEN, THE DARK KNIGHT."
