Chapter 292 Fruits of Victory
This time, Chen Nuo did not stay in Seoul for long.

If he hadn't spoken out loud in front of tens of millions of viewers, he wouldn't even have gone to Korea at this critical time.

Because, the day after he won the award, at 2009 a.m. on May 5, 25, a large bomb exploded underground in northern South Korea.

Faced with questions from all over the world, the North’s official media gave positive feedback on the same day and announced that the second test was a success.

What is explosive news? This is real explosive news.

Over the next two days, this incident dominated the front pages of major media outlets around the world, with coverage everywhere.

In the face of such a major event that could potentially trigger World War III, everything else has to take a back seat.

What's more, the 23-year-old Chinese actor won the Cannes Film Festival, becoming the youngest winner of the Best Actor Award at the three major European film festivals.

Nor is this a particularly unprecedented achievement.

Aside from the actresses,
There is no need to bring up Jack Lemmon or James Stewart, who have passed away.
Even among the male actors alive today, there is Sean Penn who can make these so-called glories become commonplace.

He won the Berlin Film Festival in 1996, the Cannes Film Festival in 97, and the Venice Film Festival in 98. He won the three major European awards with ease. He even won the Venice Film Festival Best Actor Award again in 03 when he was 43 years old.

Then, in 2004, he won both the Oscar and Golden Globe for Best Actor for a thriller that no one was optimistic about, becoming the second actor in film history after Jack Lemmon to win all the awards.

Moreover, it only took Sean Penn nine years from winning his first Berlin Film Award to collecting five world-class film award trophies.

Only nine years!

You know, some people spend 19 years and still can’t even get a Feitian Award.

This is not the end of Sean Penn's award-winning career.

Just four years later, in February 4, three months before Chen Nuo won the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival, he also won his second Academy Award for Best Actor for "Milk".

At this point, countless people have speculated that Sean Penn is more likely to win the unprecedented triple crown of Oscar Best Actor than Daniel Day-Lewis.

Compared with this award-winning maniac, Chen Nuo won the Berlin Prize in 2005 and the Cannes Prize in 09. Apart from being a decade younger than him, his speed was not particularly outstanding.

On the night he received the award, in the dark room, someone kept sticking to his ear, shouting at him in a hurried and anxious voice: "Hurry up, hurry up."

At that time, it sounded like it was indeed Fan Binbing.

But later in the middle of the night, when he was half asleep, Chen Nuo felt in a trance that this might not be the call from Teacher Pan in the long history of world cinema.

Fan Binbing woke up the next day, and yawned softly while lying on the bed. As a result, she heard him, who was a little insomniac, standing by the window and talking about these strange things with a melancholy look on his face.

Fan Binbing laughed so hard that she rolled over on the bed, revealing her shiny flesh all over the bed.

Then Fan Binbing said, "You got your revenge yesterday and shut up those people in China who said you were no good. You're excited, right? You didn't even sleep. Oh, I really want to know how you're being reported in China now, but the internet here is so slow. I can't even open the webpage."

"But I think you do look a lot like Sean Penn. Not to mention the awards you've won, but you look a lot like Sean Penn in terms of women."

"You see, the media says he has had many girlfriends, including Madonna, Robin Wright, and Charlize Theron. They are all beautiful women."

"What about you? You also have this lady, Wen Yongshan, and Liu..."

Liu what Liu?

Chen Nuo couldn't listen any more.

He clearly suffers from insomnia, but this woman makes him sound vain. Not only does she slander him, she also thinks that just because she had a scandal, she can call herself Madonna, right?

Chen Nuo didn't hesitate to do anything. He pressed her under him and started beating her up again until Liu Yifei sent him a text message asking him to come downstairs for breakfast.

The text message also said that Sister Binbing had been sleeping, and asked him to knock on the door and ask her to come down.

Finally, Fan Binbing, sweating profusely and with disheveled hair, lay on the bed in a big letter shape.

Looking at it from Chen Nuo's perspective, he suddenly remembered the French proverb he heard in Cannes three years ago.

If the French like to use "eating the cherry on the cake" to describe a person's luck, then he was forced to be lucky for a while.

"I say, Chen Nuo, if you really want to compete with Sean Penby," Fan Binbing turned over and said casually, "Why don't you go to Venice in September to win the Best Actor Award?"

The tone of her voice sounded like she was asking him to go to Venice in September to go boating with her.

"You think it's impossible?" Fan Binbing looked at his expression and became a little more serious.

Chen Nuoli didn't want to pay any attention to her.

In terms of time, there is only one film that can allow him to catch up with Venice in September this year.

"Under the Hawthorn Tree".

Although he has not seen the finished film edited by Zhang Yimou, Chen Nuo feels that if he wants to win an award in Venice with this love movie co-starring with Liu Yifei, it is not to underestimate the heroes of the world.

Rather, it means that Chen Nuo may be the only man in the world who is acting.

Fan Binbing suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "Before you say it's impossible, why don't you check online to see who is the chairman of the jury in Venice this year?"

Chen Nuo had just done some morning exercise and wanted to go downstairs to eat the breakfast Aunt Liu made for him. He said, "Who is it? Lee Chang-dong? Bong Joon-ho? Forget it, let's go downstairs and talk. I'm hungry."

So at the dinner table, Fan Binbing asked again with great interest: "…………You don't know?"

When Chen Nuo saw Qi Yuntian stunned for a moment and then looked thoughtful, he immediately knew that he knew it, and looking at Li Jing's expression, it was obvious that she knew it too.

But Liu Yifei didn't know. She seemed to be stunned by Fan Binbing's bizarre idea. "I don't know who it is, but... Sister Binbing, can I go to Venice? It seems unlikely, right?"

Liu Xiaoli slapped the table lightly. "Xixi, how can it be impossible? I think it is possible. Xiao Fan, tell me, who is the chairman of the jury? Does Xixi really have a chance... The chairman you are talking about, could it be director Zhang Yimou himself?"

Aunt Liu seemed to understand her daughter's abilities very well and provided a perfect solution.

This even made Fan Binbing feel a little embarrassed.

After all, she only considered Chen Nuo winning the Best Actor award, but did not consider Liu Yifei winning the Best Actress award. Her thinking was too incomplete.

She didn't dare to wait any longer and announced the answer directly, "It was announced in March this year. The chairman of the review committee this time is Li An."

"Ah?" Liu Xiaoli said disappointedly, "Is it Li An? Then Xixi has no chance. He wanted Xixi to act in a movie, but I turned him down. I must have offended him."

When Liu Xiaoli said this, everyone at the table was stunned.

The most surprised person was undoubtedly Liu Yifei. She turned to look at her biological mother and asked in a tone that didn't sound like someone calling her her biological mother, "Mom, what did you say?"

Liu Xiaoli said angrily: "When he asked you to film Lust, Caution, I rejected it for you directly over the phone as soon as I heard the content."

After saying this, everyone calmed down. Not to mention Liu Yifei, even Fan Binbing was unwilling to act in the film after watching Lust, Caution.

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, still a little dissatisfied, and said: "Then you should have told me."

After saying that, she was stunned again, then looked at Chen Nuo.

Because Miss Liu suddenly remembered a few years ago when she and Chen Nuo were not familiar with each other at all.

That night, she sneaked out alone, and he spent more than an hour on the phone with her, talking about many things, including that he turned down Li An's acting offer. She was so envious and jealous at the time, but she didn't expect...she actually did the same thing. I don't know if this is what Mr. Huang said about fate?

Liu Xiaoli was about to get angry when she suddenly remembered what Chen Nuo had told her before. She glanced at Mr. Chen and lowered her voice a little, "What's the point of telling you? You won't take the call anyway. At that time, there were so many people who wanted to film with you, and Li An was nothing special."

Liu Yifei snorted and said, "Anyway, you didn't tell me anything at the time."

Seeing that something was wrong, Fan Binbing quickly changed the subject and said, "Anyway, I think you really have a chance, Chen Nuo. Qi Da, am I right?"

Qi Yuntian frowned and said, "I think we can give it a try. Director Zhang will definitely participate in the competition after he finishes filming it, but I don't know where he will vote."

Li Jing interjected: "I think judging from the time, Director Zhang might have been thinking of Venice."

Fan Binbing clapped his hands excitedly and said, "That's even better. My suggestion is that Chen Nuo, you should just go and watch the rough cut of the film in advance. No matter what, you should watch it first. If you think it's really hopeless, then forget it. If it can be salvaged, tell him your ideas and tell him how to change it."

Chen Nuo wanted to laugh when he heard this, and nodded, "Okay, then I'll give you the phone number, and you help me teach him."

I originally wanted to scare this woman who didn't respect her elders.
Fan Binbing was not afraid at all. She held her head high, spread her hands, and said, "Call me if you want. Bring me the phone."

"If Zhang Yimou asks me what's going on, I'll say Chen Nuo wants to compete with Sean Penn and win the Best Actor award in Venice to complete his European Grand Slam."

"Believe it or not, if this word gets passed around, no matter what Zhang Yimou thinks, Zhang Weiping will be able to find a sedan chair with eight bearers to carry you over?"

Although everyone at the table seemed to think it made sense, Chen Nuo did not let Fan Binbing make the call.

Because he has a lot of things to do next, this matter is not a high priority.

We can just leave it until he has had enough fun and returns home.

Again, the same question. Why do we make money?
Is it to make more money?
After successful people achieve success, will they continue to pursue a more successful career?

If you really drink this cup of boss-brand chicken soup, which is specially made for office workers and can kill jealousy,
Those small islands in the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, those mansions on the beaches, cliffs and mountaintops, and those luxury cars worth tens of millions driving on the streets should have been bought by people with the wages they had saved for hundreds of years.

however,
In this world, besides David Lee Smith, is there anyone else who can live for hundreds of years?
So, why are you in such a hurry? Why are you so panicked?
He doesn't have the time to care about Sean Penn.

You told me to hurry up in your dream, but sorry, I don’t want to do it. I want to enjoy myself first.

However, before enjoying his life, he had to fulfill his promise even though the war clouds were gathering on the peninsula. He had to let Fan Binbing, Liu Yifei and others fly to America first and wait for him to meet up there.

In South Korea, Chen Nuo only stayed for one day and one night, not 24 hours.

In this short period of time, from the moment the plane landed, he spent every minute and every second under the spotlight.

It wasn't just the fans who followed his car from the airport, and the media reporters who swarmed in, but even at that reception, he was being photographed almost all the time.

In the end, the amount of food he ate was definitely less than one-tenth of the amount he ate in the photos.

Many Korean stars also attended the buffet hosted by Chen Nuo.

CJ Entertainment, which organized the dinner that day, rejected most of the friends in the idol community, except for a group from SM Entertainment that was about to debut. The guests were all those names on Chungmuro ​​who only appeared in movie theaters.

But most of them just came here to get some news, so that they can appear in the entertainment reports the next day, so as not to lose face. Among them, only Choi Min-sik, Kim Tae-hee, Jun Ji-hyun, and Jeon Do-yeon had a serious chat with Chen Nuo.

Not to mention Choi Min-sik, he helped Chen Nuo in The Wind, so they have a good relationship.

However, this person is old, usually taciturn, and does not like to show off. Unlike the lively and cheerful Feng Pang, he does not have much in common with Chen Nuo. This time he came here purely for friendship, and just met privately to congratulate him and then left.

Kim Tae Hee hasn't changed much either, she's still as enthusiastic as ever. She insisted on sitting right next to him while grilling meat in the huge courtyard.

But Jun Ji-hyun is different.

Compared with the last time they met, this time, the woman obviously understood the principle of treating guests as guests better.

Although she didn't seem to want to stay, she was silently grilling meat next to Chen Nuo. Even though she knew that being photographed would lead to another scandal the next day, she had no intention of avoiding it and even took the initiative to order two barbecues for him.

It's a pity for Jeon Do-yeon at the end.

There were so many reporters and fans coming this time that they set up a tight net around the Shilla Hotel. If the two of them wanted to meet privately in the hotel, the risks they would have to take were too great.

So, in the end, the two old friends just met at the banquet, chatted politely, and performed the relationship between old friends perfectly.

The rest of my thoughts were expressed over the phone that evening.

"Tae Hee's family is very wealthy. Her personality is actually different from her appearance. She is very traditional. She approached you this time because she has a new TV series airing on SBS recently. However, she only pretends to be nice when she talks."

“Ji-hyun is different.”

"She took on a Hollywood movie last year, which will be released the day after tomorrow. She will go to Japan to attend the premiere tomorrow, and then she will go to Europe and the United States to promote it."

"You are a great help to her now. As long as you agree to many things, the film company will force her to do them even if she doesn't want to."

"I think, if it's Zhixianxi, you can invite her to stay with you for a while tonight."

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "Du Yan, please stop talking. If you keep talking, I will be unable to resist calling her."

Jeon Do-yeon also laughed and said, "Don't disbelieve me. Think about it, why are there so many reporters waiting for you and fans outside your hotel today?"

"Not only did you get nominated twice and win the Best Actor award at the Cannes Film Festival, you became the first Asian actor to win two of the three major European awards. This has caused a huge response in our country. Many men who may not have liked you before now admire you very much."

"Moreover, your crying for Teacher Kim Hye-ja backstage in Cannes has also moved everyone these days. You and Teacher Kim Hye-ja, a pair of mother and son who have no blood relationship at all, can form such a deep friendship, while our compatriots in the north and south have to go to war..."

Hearing this, Chen Nuo blushed a little, but he finally understood. He had been wondering before, a mere Cannes Film Festival winner, isn't he worthy of the Avengers-level treatment from reporters and fans?
It turns out that factors such as machismo and war are mixed in.

Alas, actually I just felt a little embarrassed at that time.

After listening to Jeon Do-yeon's long speech on the phone, he finally realized how chaotic and unstable the Republic of Korea is now.

However, in the heartless view of Chen Nuo, this is also due to the fact that the Koreans are too bold. Even if the Qin Shi Huang and Han Wudi were resurrected, they would have to admit defeat.

So it’s normal that everyone around here is a little scared.

After all, what kind of courage does it take to build the capital of one's own country directly on top of another country's military base?

Who wouldn't be afraid of such a country?
Jeon Do-yeon finally said, “I heard that if Mother represents Korea in the 2010 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and wins, you may be invited to the Blue House…”

Chen Nuo felt that Jeon Do-yeon was still not satisfied after hearing this, so he asked, "And then?"

"Then, I'll go there too."

It's impossible. It shouldn't be what you think it is.

Chen Nuo thought he should go to sleep.

Never mind the jet lag, he's almost going insane.

When I hear some nonsense, I immediately think of some random things...

But he didn't fall asleep in the end. The next morning, he took his Cannes Film Festival Best Actor trophy and went to a CJ-owned cinema in Gangnam to participate in a grand promotion of the movie "Mother".

Escorted by reporters and fans, he boarded a flight from Seoul to Palm Beach in the afternoon.

Finally, he felt a little reluctant.

When he was about to go through the security check at the airport, he turned around and bowed slightly to the fans and reporters who had followed him along the way, waved and said, "Thank you, let's go back."

result……

Forget it, let’s go and not add to the workload of those burly security guards.

……

……

There could only be one reason that could make Mr. Chen take such great pains to fly around the earth and pass by his home without even entering.

To reap the fruits of victory.

Logically speaking, a house worth only 500 million US dollars is not worth Mr. Chen's active pursuit of the bet.

But don't talk about how much it should be worth after the economic crisis is over.

Just say that when he and Liu Yifei, Fan Binbing, Liu Xiaoli, Qi Yuntian, Linghu and others walked into this large villa with a separate entrance on Palm Beach, the scenes he saw and the exclamations he heard made him feel that this was worth the four-day flight for the heads of state of three countries.

Although Ivanka and her father ended their vacation and returned to New York.

But when it comes to buying and selling houses, this woman is indeed very professional.

Arrange all matters related to the subsequent housing procedures in an orderly manner.

According to Ivanka, the bet, which had been confirmed by lawyers for both parties, had already taken effect the moment he won the Best Actor award at the Cannes Film Festival.

The original owner's signature was not required. From that moment on, the house, including all its accessories, became Chen Nuo's personal property.

We just need to wait for Chen Nuo to come over and sign to confirm. If anyone dares to break in later, we can use our guns to snipe them.

But it is basically impossible for someone to break in.

Palm Beach is a place where wealthy people gather in the United States. There are only a few entrances and exits, and there are always bridges decorated with police cars or water police patrols all year round.

As for 8 years later, it won’t matter anymore.

There is a no-fly zone within 50 kilometers of Mar-a-Lago, and there are always patrol boats from the U.S. Coast Guard cruising on the sea.

It can be said that no matter what you do, you don’t have to worry about being secretly photographed. For Chen Nuo, this is the most satisfying point.

But for some women, it's different.

In terms of scenery, this place is really the best in the world. After much thought, I guess only Nansha in our country can compare to it.

With the lake behind it and the sea in front, there is blue sea and blue sky in 360 degrees. Although the weather is a little hot around June, it is not too hot to lie under a parasol on the beach and read a book.

If it's a bit boring, there's a solution.

Palm Beach has the best golf courses in the United States, museums, shopping streets, and various parties and charity dinners held all year round by neighbors.

Chen Nuo's villa also has a gym and two swimming pools, one large and one small. One is a large swimming pool in the backyard, and the other is an infinity pool at the door of the villa. You can lie down by the pool and look out at the horizon.

Looking at Fan Binbing's expression, if it weren't for the fact that her various scheduled schedules in China had already come to a head, there was no way she would be willing to fly back home after playing for two days.

The main thing is that it is comfortable to live in.

The main house is a two-story building, divided into two floors. The first floor is the living room, the movie room and a guest room. The second floor has a gym and four bedrooms, with a total indoor area of ​​more than 800 square meters.

Not counting the two small outbuildings at the back.

There is a utility room of about 100 square meters, and the other is a luxurious guest room with two rooms, which together cover more than 200 square meters.

There were just enough rooms to go around. The three women and Chen Nuo lived on the second floor, Qi Yuntian lived on the first floor, and Linghu lived in the small stand-alone building.

Fan Binbing no longer had to cover her mouth secretly every night. Because the corridor was wide and there was plenty of space, no matter how she yelled, as long as she didn't open the door, the sound insulation was very good, and there was absolutely no need to worry about Liu Xiaoli getting up at night and hearing something she shouldn't hear.

Two days later, Fan Binbing left. Although Chen Nuo felt much more bored at night, he slept more soundly after reading the script of Inception.

Apart from the slight drawback of not having a yacht and being dissatisfied with the food, as for accommodation, Chen Nuo could live here until the end of the world.

As a result, just one day after Fan Binbing left, he received a call on his cell phone.

If it was anyone else it would be fine, but he is the only person in the world who feels a little empty right now.

Li Er didn't say much on the phone, just asked him when he was going to come back and whether he was ready to perform in the graduation play. The whole class had been rehearsing for more than a month, but he hadn't come back yet, and he hadn't even chosen a role. What did that mean? It would be fine if he went to Cannes to do business, but he ended up going to the United States for vacation after that? When he went to perform in the small theater in July, would he still go on stage? Did he still consider himself a student of Beijing Film Academy?

Professor Li's words made Chen Nuo sweat profusely, so he had to agree to buy a plane ticket back home as soon as possible. No matter what, he had to participate in the rehearsal immediately.

After finishing the call, I came out of the viewing room and saw Liu Yifei wearing a swimsuit, lying under the parasol of the swimming pool, sleeping soundly.

I don’t know where Liu Xiaoli went to play, Qi Yuntian and Linghu are not here either.

At this moment, he thought about the big and small things that happened after returning home, and felt very depressed. Looking at this woman who was leisurely and seemed to be drooling in her sleep, he couldn't help but feel jealous.

I don't know how he dared to do that. After thinking about it, it could only be the recent Cannes trophy and the domestic reports he saw on the Internet these days that gave him the courage.

Chen Nuo, a guy who didn't want to live anymore, walked over and slapped Miss Liu Yifei hard on her raised butt.

Hit it really hard.

With a "pop" sound, the buttocks trembled.

"All I do all day is sleep, get up, and go back home!"
