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

Chapter 219: Surprise on the Forbes List
After the 6th Academy Awards Ceremony was broadcast on CCTV80, two very hot topics were created online.

One is how many friends does Chen Nuo have in Hollywood?
Someone has counted carefully that from the moment Chen Nuo learned of his award to the moment he stepped onto the podium, he nodded or made eye contact with at least seven top-tier Hollywood stars along the way.

Not including Angelina Jolie on the podium.

As we all know, this superstar somehow developed an extremely deep friendship with Chen Nuo.

So someone asked the question:
From this we can see that Chen Nuo did not run into the legendary racial wall in Hollywood. Why is that?
There are many different answers.

Some people say that the idea of ​​building a wall of human race is just a completely unfounded rumor.

The beacon country of America is clearly an ideal country where everyone is equal regardless of nationality or race.
Those who bring this up are just making sour remarks and spreading false information.

Others say,

What you see is just superficial work. It would be a miracle if these actors could let you see any clues.

Whether Chen Nuo has hit the racial wall or not can be determined by just one simple thing -

What kind of movie will he take next in Hollywood? Let’s see if he will play a villain again!

For this reason, someone actually started a voting post on the gossip section of Tianya Forum.

In just over two hours before it was deleted by the moderator, a total of more than 39,000 netizens participated in the vote.

Among them, 38.1% thought they would continue to play villains, while 40.5% thought they would not.

Another 21.6% of netizens thought: Next one? There is no next one.

All I can say is, what if I won an Oscar?
Nuo Ge still has a long way to go before he can become a god that is praised by everyone.

In addition to the above two views, there are also some that are quite popular among passers-by.

The third answer is what most glutinous rice fans believe: "Nono's charm knows no borders!"

But as for this answer, anyone with a junior high school diploma would not believe it.

Why is that? Why don't you go back to Asia or Europe like Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li or even Li Lianjie, but take root in North America, a continent that has always been arrogant?
On the plane back to China, Liu Yifei asked Chen Nuo this question himself.

It wasn't that she wanted to ask, but Liu Xiaoli forced her to.

Liu Yifei raised an objection at the time, thinking that there was nothing to ask, friendship knows no borders, I made so many friends in Tanzania...
Unfortunately, before she could finish her words, her mother covered her mouth directly: "Xixi, just think of it as doing your mother a favor, okay?"

Liu Xiaoli wanted to know because after the Oscars, her ambition began to grow again.

If Chen Nuo can do it, why can't Xixi do it? There's a saying that rising water lifts all boats, right?

I didn’t see how many people were asking in the comments section of the youtube video, who is the Chinese girl next to Chen?
She is so cute!

So, let me ask first.

Who can tell what will happen in the future, right?
Although it seems that Xixi's career is going smoothly for now, what if one day she still needs her mother to step in?
She had to ask Chen Nuo himself because ever since the speeding incident, Liu Xiaoli felt that Chen Nuo seemed to know the customs and habits of the American side inside out, no worse than those old overseas Chinese who had stayed in Chinatown for decades.

After hearing Liu Yifei's question, Chen Nuo looked at her strangely and said, "You asked me why I am doing well in the United States?"

"Um."

"Then let me ask you, when you were in Tanzania, why did those black friends in the zoo like you so much?"

Liu Yifei tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "That's because I work hard, can endure hardships, and am not afraid of getting dirty."

"In a word, you are quite useful, right?"

"Correct."

"me too."

What do you mean?
Liu Yifei thought about Chen Nuo's answer all the way from LA to the sky above the Bohai Sea, and then excitedly woke Chen Nuo up and asked, "Is it because you can help them make money?"

"Ah? Oh." Chen Nuo yawned sleepily. After a while, he remembered what Liu Yifei was talking about. He smiled encouragingly and praised, "Xixi, you are really smart."

It was clearly a compliment, but Liu Yifei was still unhappy. She snorted, turned her head away and ignored him.

I have to say, first class seats are great, there is room for temper tantrums. Unlike economy class, you feel like you're kissing me if I move my face.

Chen Nuo couldn't help but laugh a little and asked, "Hey, are you okay? Are you hungry?"

Liu Yifei had a cold face. After a while, she turned around and said angrily, "You are hungry! Do you think I don't know? Every time you call me Xixi, you are laughing at me in your stomach!"

What the hell!

This was all discovered.

Chen Nuo felt that he was doomed. He really had no secrets left in front of Liu Yifei.

The whole person is seen through!

The flight that Chen Nuo and his companions were on landed at Capital International Airport at 27 pm on the 3th, Beijing time.

As expected, they were met with a swarm of reporters at the airport. In the end, Chen Nuo had to hold a brief impromptu press conference at the airport gate.

I answered a few questions and talked about my feelings. What I said was actually similar to what I said during the Oscars press interview.

But there are still differences.

Because domestic reporters are more familiar with him and also understand Chinese, they inevitably asked the second question that is currently being hotly discussed online:
What is the story behind Mingming Comedy Troupe and who is Su Mingming?
In fact, this has been the most hotly discussed topic on the Chinese Internet in the past two days.

The reason is simple. Chengnuo thanked countless people in his acceptance speech, including teachers, colleagues, friends, and the director who appreciated him.

He used English throughout.

Only this person shouted out a sentence in Chinese in front of thousands of foreigners in Hollywood.

Then the question is, who is this Su Mingming? Is he a man or a woman? Is he old or young? What is his identity?
How come it's so impressive?

Why were Fan Binbing, Zhang Yiyi, Ning Hao and Liu Yifei singled out as surpassing others?

And that comedy group clearly existed? Or was it just a joke between friends?

Netizens have fully used their imagination on these issues.

Su Mingming may have had more than 30 identities in an instant, from a host of a comedy show on a local TV station in Xichuan, to a comedian in a bar, and even a rare librarian of the Beijing Film Academy.

Among them, more than 70% of netizens believe that this person named Su Mingming or Su Mingming should be a woman.

After hearing the question, Chen Nuo couldn't help but burst out laughing, and replied: "Netizens don't have to guess randomly, Captain Su was my former boss."

After saying this, he thanked the media friends present and said that he was flattered that everyone gave him the honor to interview him.

He was just tired from the long journey and wanted to go back and rest.

See you again at the premiere of The Whisper of the Wind in a couple of days.

Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei got on the car ahead of time. Seeing the swarm of reporters following Chen Nuo around, they couldn't help but sigh: "Chen Nuo is really amazing now. Indeed, acting well, acting so well that Warner Disney and Hollywood stars think you are useful, can act and increase the box office, this is the real way out."

Liu Yifei didn't respond, and said directly: "Mom, I asked the question for you, so let's make a deal. You will accompany me to Japan to film this time, and you are not allowed to control me."

Liu Xiaoli smiled and said, "Of course, Mom has promised you something, when has she ever regretted it? Look, you're sitting in first class, and Mom's sitting in business class, and I didn't say anything, right?"

Liu Yifei was not happy. "What? It's obvious that time is too tight and you can't buy a ticket. I asked you to sit in first class, but you didn't want to."

Liu Xiaoli smiled faintly, thinking: Silly girl, you and Chen Nuo can sit together to build a relationship. What will it look like if mom sits with him?

Liu Xiaoli didn't know that Chen Nuo actually wanted to get in touch with her.

This time she was able to convince Liu Yifei to regain the qualification to act as a companion, and it was Mr. Chen who personally approved it.

And he also did a lot of work for Liu Yifei.

If she knew, Liu Xiaoli would be so angry that she wouldn't be able to eat for three days.

Because it is obvious that in Liu Yifei's mind, Chen, who walked down from the Oscar hall, now has more weight in his words than her as a mother.

If Mr. Chen hadn't thought about Liu Yifei starting filming in Japan in April,

A girl in a foreign country,

The assistant agent assigned by the company may not be able to take good care of you.
She was going to be left alone in Los Angeles by her heartless daughter again!

After returning to Beijing, Chen Nuoke had no time to rest at all and immediately plunged into the intensive film promotion.

I have to say that China Film Group is very professional. They don't seem like some reborn person who has lost sight of his past life and appears to be hesitant and indecisive.

After Chen Nuo won an Oscar for his performance at the gambling table, now, the drama "The Sound of Wind" has naturally won him rich rewards.

The first Asian actor to win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor brings a lot of expectations,

Just from the perspective of publicity, with that glittering little golden man in hand, it can be said that Chen Nuo can easily get into any media magazine, newspaper or website in the country.

Even though the T-shirt they were wearing had the words "The Sound of the Wind" printed in large letters on the chest, the only thing they talked about was the release schedule on March 3st. As for what the general public is most concerned about and interested in, they only talked about the Oscars for a few sentences at most.

However, as long as they can invite him to a show, not only will every program crew be eager to get him, but it will often be like an auction.

If your website says you will put banner ads on the homepage for two days, then Sina will promise to jump to full screen on the homepage for one day.

In short, as long as the little golden man that no one in the mainland has ever seen is brought to our online live broadcast room by you, Chen Oscar Nuo, and played for half an hour, I won't charge you a penny for advertising. Not only will I give you a big promotion, I will also pay for your travel expenses.

Even so, the people from Huanxin Company and China Film Group were still not happy. They felt that it was a shameful thing to do with an online platform, and that its quality was too low.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Chen Nuo's first program after returning to the mainland was to participate in the recording of "Face to Face" on CCTV News Channel.

Yes, it’s the legendary show with extremely low ratings, but as long as you can be on the show once, it’s like a Paladin being invincible for at least a year.

As long as you don't get involved in any crime or run naked, no matter what kind of gossip or scandal you have, you will be completely isolated from any media in the mainland.

Why is it so cool? Because before the 03 revision, the show was originally called: "Sons of the East".

The host who interviewed Chen Nuo was called Dong Qian. She was still hosting the show until Chen Nuo was reborn.

Chen Nuo still remembers that in the program he watched, Miss Dong interviewed China's first female astronaut.

But during the recording of this episode, I don’t know if it’s because he feels like a man, he’s more thick-skinned.

In short, Miss Dong was not as gentle to him as she was in that episode.

Many of the questions were so pointed that he almost broke into a sweat.

For example: "When your grades were not good, why didn't you think about studying hard? Instead, you took the art exam?"

For example, "When you are in your 20s and you make your relationship public in the mass media, do you worry that this is encouraging premature love?"

"Did your father give you any help in your early days of acting?"

There is something even more horrifying: "In the four years of college, you didn't seem to study for many days. When you were filming The Dark Knight, you were filming almost the entire year. At the end of the year, you would rather go to Taiwan to win the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor than go back to school. Do you have any unique insights on college students' entrepreneurship?"

Damn it!

If Qi Yuntian hadn't desperately winked at him outside the camera, Chen Nuo would have really fled.

This is a black fan, right? This is definitely a black fan, right?
Even after the recording was completed, Miss Dong did not show any warm greeting. She just smiled slightly, softening her eyes, which were originally as sharp as arrows.

Finally, I shook his hand and asked curiously, "Were all your answers improvised?"

This question made Chen Nuo a little confused.
What do you mean?
What this means is that they had clearly communicated with Qi Yuntian before the interview, and had faxed over all the questions they were going to ask, and this was a recording, not a live broadcast.

What interviewer doesn’t read a prepared script of answers?
It seems that he is the first one in the five years of face-to-face programs.

Chen Nuo was so upset that he got angry at Qi Yuntian: "Why didn't you tell me? Didn't you see how panicked I was just now?"

Qi Yuntian was surprised and asked, "Are you panicking? I see you look calm and cheerful. If you didn't read the manuscript, I would have thought you were confident and thought my writing was terrible."

Chen Nuo looked at him hatefully, not knowing what to say.

It's just that he's used to pretending to be cool. Even if he's panicking, his expression is calm and composed. He's used to it.

Just like at the Oscars, when he heard that he was the winner, his mind was completely confused.

But later, after the CCTV rebroadcast, Qi Yuntian said that his father, Professor Qi, had praised him privately, saying that he was calm and composed and had the demeanor of a great general.

In fact, he has a fart.

After getting in the car, Linghu was still driving in the front, and Qi Yuntian and he sat in the middle seat.

Qi Yuntian said: "Face to face with these questions, I think your answers just now are better than what was written in the manuscript."

Chen Nuo smiled bitterly and said, "She kept asking questions one by one, and I almost forgot what I said."

Qi Yuntian said: "Brother Nuo, it's not necessary in front of me, okay?"

Chen Nuo called him brother: "No need for anything? Brother Tian, ​​please explain clearly."

Qi Yuntian rolled his eyes at him and said, "Anyway, after this incident, anyone who attacks you with these questions in the future will be asking for trouble. I have cleared your name."

Qi Yuntian took out a magazine from his side and handed it to him, "It just came out yesterday, take a look."

Chen Nuo looked at the cover, the Chinese version of Forbes.

He knew what Qi Yuntian wanted him to look at, so he threw it back with a bit of disinterest and said, "What's the point of a celebrity list? Tell me about it when I'm on the rich list."

Qi Yuntian laughed and said, "When you are on the rich list, I will definitely frame that magazine and gild it. I say, there are surprises on this list this year, you really don't want to read it?"

In fact, Chen Nuo was on the Forbes Chinese Celebrity List in 2007 last year.

Also making his first appearance on the list is Wang Baoqiang.

Both of them ranked high. He was even higher.

He ranked 33rd thanks to "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and "My Blueberry Nights", while Wang Baoqiang ranked 39th.

At that time, Chen Nuo felt that it was meaningless to compete with the baby, so he completely deleted the incident from his memory.

Qi Yuntian kept talking about everything today and even said there was a surprise, so he took a look reluctantly.

Only after taking a look did I realize that there was indeed a surprise.

He asked with an uncertain expression, "Was this published before Oscar?"

Qi Yuntian laughed and said, "It should be the day after the Oscars. How is it? How do you feel?"

Well, Wang Baoqiang is not involved this time, but I feel like there are others who are even more intolerable than Wang Baoqiang.

Forbes started compiling this celebrity list in mainland China in 2003.

They actually make money from this, and how to arrange the magazines is actually the magazines' own business, and it is not authoritative. But the Chinese of this era really like European style.

Every time a list comes out, the changes in rankings really attract a lot of attention and are even linked to commercial value.

Chen Nuo heard that many celebrities used money and connections to improve their ranking.

However, he has never been tolerant of these foreigners who come to China to make money. When he says he doesn't pay attention to them, he really doesn't care at all.

So, when he saw the 2008 Forbes Chinese Celebrity List, where Yao Ming and Liu Xiang ranked first and second, respectively, with their incomes in 2 reaching 2007 million and 3.878 million, he was deeply hurt.

And the third place, Mr. Li Lianjie’s 2.4 million was like a nail piercing his eyes.

As for him, he ranks 7th with an income of 3600 million.

The Dark Knight's salary of 50 US dollars plus 3600% of the box office share adds up to 600 million, and there is also 300 million from Li Ning endorsement and 4500 million from diapers, a total of million.

But after deducting taxes and dividends, it is only a little over 3000 million. The 3600 million estimated by Forbes may also include the commission from the income of Fan Binbing, who ranked sixth.

That's right, Yao Ming, Liu Xiang and Li Lian are in the top three, Yi Jianlian is in fourth place with 2900 million, Zhang Ziyi is in fifth place with 5500 million, Fan Binbing is in sixth place with 3900 million, Chen Nuo is in seventh place with 3600 million, Zhao Wei is in eighth place, Zhou Xun is in ninth place and Li Binbing is in tenth place.

This is the top ten list.

Chen Nuo knew that in terms of income, his 3600 million was definitely underestimated because it did not include the dividends he deserved from the company.

However, no matter how he calculates, he can never catch up with Zhang Ziyi, not to mention those two glittering sports superstars.

As for the ranking, he didn't know what formula Forbes used to calculate it.
But how is that possible?
He could feel inferior to others even though he won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, but how could an employee like Fan Binbing rank ahead of his boss?

"That's the truth." Qi Yuntian said with emotion. "Do you know that when you were attending the Oscars, going to America to meet Harvey, competing for the Golden Globe, and studying at school, Fan Binbing had participated in so many events, shows, commercials, and TV series?"

"To be honest, Forbes is a real expert. The 3900 million mentioned here is relatively accurate. It is indeed not much different. It is still the after-tax income that was handed over to our company. Mr. Chen, has this surprise made you feel ashamed and then brave enough?"

The answer is yes.

Originally, after the interview, he would be fine and could go back to rest and prepare for the premiere tomorrow night.

But now, he was as energized as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and immediately asked Qi Yuntian to arrange an exclusive interview for him with "Southern People Weekly".

The sudden invitation made the reporter from Southern People Weekly ecstatic.

Because now the media in the mainland entertainment industry think that this gentleman is even more difficult to deal with than Mr. Liang from Hong Kong.

It is true that Mr. Liang is not good at speaking, but he is different.

Whether in Chinese or English, he is full of witty remarks, and his acceptance speeches at the Oscars can make the audience of stars burst into laughter.

But why is it so difficult to interview him?

Southern People Weekly, as China's most famous and largest-circulation in-depth interview magazine, has always been ashamed of not having interviewed a certain young actor who is most worthy of an interview in recent years. The editor-in-chief even said that salary increase, promotion or year-end bonus can be negotiated as long as you bring back an exclusive interview with Chen Nuo.

Therefore, the sudden phone call from Chen Nuo almost made the weekly's reporter in Beijing laugh to death on the phone.

As a result, the day's work ended at almost 8 o'clock in the evening. Boss Chen was very hungry, so he found a place with Qi Yuntian and Linghu to have a working lunch.

Qi Yuntian was eating and replying to messages, and suddenly looked up and said, "By the way, there is a female model in Taiwan named Lin Chiling, who is quite famous. You should have heard of her. Last year, she came here to film "Red Cliff" directed by John Woo. Maybe she also wants to enter the mainland entertainment industry. Today, her agent contacted me and said that she is in BJ and wants to meet you in the evening. Do you want to meet her?"

Haha, there are many people who contacted you. Why did you mention this long-legged and big-breasted girl? She really pretends to be like that. Don’t you think I, Chen, am a stud? Humph. Chen Nuo took a sip of noodle soup and said lightly: "I don’t know any of them, so I won’t see them."

Qi Yuntian understood and nodded, "Then we'll talk about it after we get to know each other. As for Gao Yuanyuan, Jin Ling contacted me when you were doing the interview. She also asked when you were free."

Chen Nuo blew away the oil on the soup. "Let's talk about it after this busy period. That woman is a bit difficult to deal with. I have to spend more time with Ah Shan when I come back this time. She didn't go to the United States this time. Although she said that she was fine, the way she looked when I came back, well, she must be feeling a little uncomfortable."

Qi Yuntian sneered, "It's not like you asked her not to go. Doesn't she want to accompany her good friend?"

Qi Yuntian deliberately emphasized the word "good friends".

Chen Nuo sighed, "Don't say that. Although she is... she is also a good girl."

Qi Yuntian said, "Good girl, haha, if you ask me, there will be a time when Wen Yongshan will regret it. Oh, by the way, there is one more thing, Su Mingming from Langfang sent a text message saying that when you are free, he wants to meet you. Do you want to meet him?"

Chen Nuo smiled. Before Oscar yelled, he had considered what the consequences would be.

But he still shouted it out because he felt he understood the man.

Sure enough, to this day, there are only a few rumors about him in Langfang on the Internet.

Perhaps if it were someone else, they would have come out to accept interviews and make a fortune.

Thinking of this, Chen Nuo also felt a little proud of knowing people well, and said with a smile: "See you. Invite him to attend our premiere tomorrow and tell him that I want to apologize to him in person."

　There is one more chapter to be posted tomorrow at noon. I have finished writing it, but I am too sleepy to polish it.
