Chapter 316 Dreams and Movies

She thought she was leaving him.

I returned to China from the United States, and returned to Beijing from Palm Beach. I moved out of Ziyu Villa and moved to my newly bought house. I immersed myself in endless work and endless games.
She would be able to get rid of the influence of the two words Chen Nuo on her.

But this is not the case.

The news that he founded a technology company and provided financial aid to Peking University was as popular in China as in the United States.

There were many people who praised the post, but there were also many comments that mocked and questioned it.

The content is actually very similar to that in the United States.

Most people think that if such an algorithm really appears one day, it will definitely be in Stanford or Harvard. How could it be in Peking University?

Just as a famous expert on Renren.com said, Peking University is good, but its top talents have already gone abroad. Although Chen Nuo's donation is commendable, it is like an ant trying to shake a tree. It cannot change the overall situation and is ultimately just a daydream.

Although Liu Yifei didn't know that these remarks had reached the ears of a doctoral student who had always turned a deaf ear to the outside world, he sent a QQ message to Chen Nuo swearing an oath.

She was still very angry.

I subconsciously took out my cell phone and wanted to dial that number.

But at the end, she stopped.

“Don’t care about someone who doesn’t care about you, because love can’t be forced.”

Liu Yifei wrote this in her diary, bit the tip of her pen for a while, and continued writing, "I want to use the time I spend worrying about him to love myself. I want to watch my favorite movies, eat delicious food, and make my life full of happiness. I believe that I will meet someone who truly cherishes me in the future."

After finishing writing, he frowned, crossed out the last sentence, and rewrote, "I believe that a person can live a wonderful life."

In the next few days, she really blocked the relevant information, even took the initiative to ask for more work, and told Liu Xiaoli for the first time that she wanted to take on a new role.

I saw some sporadic information here and there in the meantime, and knew that he had been busy for so long and finally made it happen to get her to act with him.

But you will see that the discomfort will only last for a while, and it will be much better once you get busy again.

Until this day.

Liu Xiaoli walked into her room with a laptop and a smile, bringing countless "Chen Nuo" to her eyes at once.

Seeing the many familiar names on the screen, Liu Yifei really wanted to cry, but she held back and looked up and asked, "Mom, what is this?"

Liu Yifei's acting skills have really improved.

During this period, Liu Xiaoli didn't notice that there was anything wrong with her daughter.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with moving out of Ziyu Villa. After all, the house was too big, and without a man there, it felt a bit gloomy.

What she has been concerned about these days is nothing else but the currently popular Sina Weibo.

Among that 10% of shares, there is also a share from her family Sissi. Although it is not much, it cannot be counted too carefully.

Liu Xiaoli has already calculated that if Sina Weibo is worth 1 million, then Liu Yifei would have 20. If it is 10 billion, then it would be 200 million. If it is 100 billion, then it would be 2000 million!
Don't say it's impossible. During this period, when Liu Xiaoli was bored in LA, USA, she saw the overwhelming news about Chen Nuo's plan to start a video website. She also went online to learn more about those American Internet websites.

I don’t know, I don’t know, I’ll be shocked when I understand.

It can be said that in an instant, a new world opened up before Liu Xiaoli's eyes.

She knew that Chen Nuo had many fans on Facebook, and she also knew that she had dealings with Donald, a well-known American.

But when she learned that Facebook, whose shares Chen Nuo was seeking, was currently worth tens of billions of dollars, her perception was refreshed once again.

This time, Liu Xiaoli completely forgot about Forbes rich man Chen Jinfei.

Before, even though Chen Jinfei had spoken ill of her in front of the media, Liu Xiaoli still swallowed her anger and took his call.

It's just in case one day I go back on my old ways and ask this person for help.

But now.

His phone number could no longer be dialed into her phone.

Her in-depth understanding of Facebook has also seriously influenced her perception of Sina Weibo.

These are all companies that Chen Nuo tried his best to invest in.

Facebook is worth 800 billion RMB, what about Sina Weibo?

Liu Xiaoli's attitude changed as a result.

She used to take it lightly, but now she reads the news every few days.

And when he has nothing to do, he just wanders around it, just like he is inspecting his own property.

Today, she accidentally came across a piece of news related to Chen Nuo, so she took it to show her daughter.

"Look at this, Xixi, is this Xiao Chen?"

Liu Yifei took a deep breath and looked carefully.

It turned out that an account called "I am the real Chen Nuo" posted a Weibo with a greeting.

Then, someone in the comment section said, "Hi, me too..."

Then the two people had a conversation.

"What I said is true."

"What I said is true. If you don't believe me, come to Jiajiang. I, Chen Nuo from Jiajiang, am not just a name."

"Jiajiang, right? Will you treat me to a meal when I get there?"

"That depends on whether you are as handsome as me. Where are you from, Chen Nuo?"

"I'm from Longan."

"Haha, if you are really Longan Chennuo, don't even think about eating, the big sword will be mine."

"It's a word."

"Hahahahahahaha, it's a deal. If you don't come, you're a pig."

“Haha, OK.”

Chen Nuo111: "Can you count me in? I'm Chen Nuo from Liuzhou."

realChen Nuo: "Add me, I'm Chen Nuo from Minhang. I've never been afraid of being compared to others in terms of handsomeness."

The real Chen Nuo is here: "I'm here, everyone stop arguing."

Accompany Me Nono: "Haha, a bunch of fakes. You don't really think you can compete with Nono?"

Then this time.

Chen Nuo: “?”

Liu Yifei's eyes suddenly widened.

No one spoke in the comment section for a full thirty seconds.

Then, countless comments popped up at the same moment.

"Fuck, two words! No way? Is Chen Nuo really here?"

"Nono, is that you?"

"Absolutely impossible. Nuonuo, I love you. @Chen Nuo."

"@陈诺, I have liked you for a long time. I am your loyal glutinous rice. Can you reply to me?"

"Fuck, this really seems real! @Chen Nuo, are you a real person?"

Liu Yifei didn't want to read on after reading a few of them, so she casually scrolled down with her mouse.

The original poster, "I am the real Chen Nuo," said in the back: "He is fake, I am real."

But no one paid any attention to him.

Liu Yifei also thought this person was ridiculous.

She exited the comment section and took another look at the Weibo post.

Less than an hour after it was posted, it had been forwarded 3240 times, received more than 8182 comments, and more than 11 likes.

She recalled.

She had been on Weibo before, and the post with the most likes and comments seemed to be less than one-tenth of this one.

Seeing that she had finished reading, Liu Xiaoli asked again, "How is it, is this Xiao Chen?"

Liu Yifei said calmly: "I don't know. Mom, where did you find this? Can you stop being so boring?"

Liu Xiaoli shouted, "Why did I find it? When I went to Weibo today and searched the rankings, I saw a lot of posts about this. I was wondering why Xiao Chen would bother with those boring people. Why don't you ask him?"

Liu Yifei said: "I won't ask. If you want to know, ask yourself. It's not like you don't know him. You know him better than I do."

Liu Xiaoli was so choked that she almost couldn't breathe.

"Okay, Mom, go out. I want to play games."

Liu Xiaoli glanced at her computer screen and pouted, "You're playing this Audition again. Do you want your eyes anymore after dancing every day?"

"Oh, I know, just get out."

Liu Xiaoli shook her head helplessly and went out.

Liu Yifei's face appeared white and bright in the dim light of the screen.

Joined a room and the game began.

On the computer screen, a long-haired girl wearing a miniskirt and dressed up in a flashy way was following the movements of several other equally fashionable cartoon characters.

"Up, up, left, down, right, right, up, left, down, right."

BAD!

"Up, left, right, up, up, down, left, down, right, up."

BAD!
"Right down, left, up, down, down, up, left, right".

BAD!
After three consecutive “bads”, my score suddenly became much different from others.

Liu Yifei angrily clicked the mouse and closed the game directly.

She stared at the computer screen for a while, then opened the browser and went to the Sina Weibo website.

I found that Weibo post again and went into the comment section.

I clicked on the person named "Chen Nuo" and entered his personal homepage.

The homepage is empty, with nothing on it, but the number of followers has exceeded 20.

Liu Yifei looked at the blank page for a while, then clicked on the private message interface with him.

After taking a deep breath and calming down, I started typing, "Why did you suddenly post on Weibo?"

After sending the private message, Liu Yifei waited anxiously for almost half an hour before finally getting a reply.

"Who are you?"

Liu Yifei suddenly realized. Oh, right, I didn't tell him that I also registered on Weibo.

But when he saw this name, he still couldn't react?

Liu Yifei was a little angry, but still typed patiently.

Crystal17: "I'm Liu Yifei."

This time the other party responded quickly, "Haha."

Liu Yifei frowned.

Crystal17: "What are you laughing at?" Chen Nuo: "Nothing. It turns out to be my girlfriend Feifei. Feifei, where are you? I miss you so much."

Liu Yifei's pupils suddenly dilated, and her mind went blank as she looked at the last four words.

Then she blushed and giggled, feeling as if her heart was wrapped in a pile of melted candy, sweet and warm.

After a long while, she figured out how to respond.

"I'm at home, and I miss you a little bit, too."

Why only one thing? It means you haven't completely forgiven him.

Although his words made her happy and she was no longer angry, she couldn't immediately show that she forgave him.

However, she also didn't want him to think that she was petty or still angry, so she hesitated for a long time before deciding on this response.

This time, as soon as the message was sent, there was an immediate reply.

"Fei Fei, I'm in the United States these days and I'm a little short of money. I can't transfer the money from my domestic account. Can you lend me 2 yuan to make ends meet?"

Liu Yifei's heart skipped a beat.

He actually asked me to borrow money?

Did something happen during the few days I was away?

And 2? What does that mean?
Although Liu Yifei was full of doubts, she immediately typed, "Okay, I'll transfer it to you right away."

This time the other side responded even faster.

It’s just that it wasn’t a person, but a system message.

"Sorry, this user has been banned."

Liu Yifei looked at the line of words and it took her a full ten seconds to realize what was going on.

"Ah!" She screamed angrily and grabbed her hair with both hands and rubbed it hard.

It took me a long time to recover from the embarrassment, and finally I decided to forget it and just go to sleep.

After that, she tossed and turned in bed and slept in a daze for the whole afternoon, until Liu Xiaoli suddenly opened her door again and said happily: "Xixi, come out quickly, look who's here!?"

Liu Yifei really didn't expect that

A few days ago, I asked her about the address of her new home in a text message, and Fan Binbing came here without saying a word.

This made her very happy.

After dinner, I chatted with Liu Xiaoli first, and then waited for her to go upstairs to sleep.

The two women secretly carried a bottle of Lafite Chateau brought by Fan Binbing and came to the platform on the second floor of the villa.

Under the illumination of scented candles, Liu Yifei and Fan Binbing chatted while drinking.

The weather in October was not cold. Although it was very late, after wrapping myself in a blanket, it felt just right and very comfortable.

"…So, you didn't go to California?"

"Ah."

Fan Binbing spun the wine glass, the candlelight reflected in her eyes, with an unfathomable look.

The woman took a sip of the bright red wine with her rosy lips and said with a smile: "Why don't you go? You came back when he asked you to? You are so obedient?"

"No, I..." Liu Yifei just opened her mouth when a sense of inexplicable grievance suddenly surged into her heart and her throat was suddenly blocked.

Fan Binbing understood what she heard, and sat down next to her, put her arm around her shoulders, and said in a soothing voice, "What's wrong? Did he bully you? Tell me, and I'll settle the score with him."

Liu Yifei shook her head and choked up, "No."

"That is how the matter?"

Liu Yifei raised her head and looked at Fan Binbing who was so close to her. Seeing the concerned look in her eyes, something in her heart suddenly loosened.

"Sister Binbing, I'm going to tell you something. You, you swear not to tell anyone."

"Okay, tell me."

"You swear first."

"...Okay, I swear, if I tell everyone what you said to me today, I won't be able to find a man to marry in the future. Okay?"

"Well, I, I......"

Liu Yifei spoke hesitantly for five minutes, and Fan Binbing suddenly interrupted, "Wait, Feifei, you two have been in the United States for so long, and nothing happened?"

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, "No, a lot of things happened, he ignored me"

Fan Binbing interrupted with a smile: "I mean, didn't you two do anything else?"

"doing what?"

Fan Binbing looked at her and said, "Love."

"Make... love?"

"Ah? Ah!!!"

Liu Yifei reacted immediately, her face flushed, and she waved her hands, "No, no, Sister Binbing, where did you say you went?"

Fan Binbing smiled and said, "What's the big deal? You two are boyfriend and girlfriend to the outside world, and you are adults to the inside world. If you really want to do something, it's only natural. So, it's okay, tell me, is there anything wrong?"

"No, no, really not." Liu Yifei shook her head and waved her hands anxiously, "Sister Binbing, really not."

Fan Binbing carefully observed the expression on her face. After a while, he leaned back in his chair, as if he had relaxed completely. "Then Feifei, please continue."

Liu Yifei calmed down from her shyness for a while, and then continued to muster up the courage to express her feelings.

This was also the first time she talked about her feelings for Chen Nuo in front of outsiders.

According to her personality, she wouldn't reveal everything.

It’s all her fault that she becomes talkative when she’s drunk.

They talked for a long time. After they finished, Liu Yifei looked at the watch and it was almost 1 a.m.

The temperature outside was a little low, but her heart and body were still burning with passion.

She touched her slightly hot cheeks, looked at Fan Binbing, and asked, "Sister Binbing, do you think my feelings are right? Does he not like me at all?"

Fan Binbing didn't look at her at first. Instead, he took a sip of wine and was in a daze for a while.

Then she turned around with an extremely serious expression: "Fei Fei, sister is telling you seriously. The person you like may be the best in the world, whether as a friend, as a boss or as a lover.

"But if you want to be with him forever? Want to marry him and have children? Then you've really chosen the wrong person. He will definitely break your heart."

"So, Feifei, before anything happens between you and him, turn back quickly. There's still time."

Liu Yifei may still have time to get out of love.

But Chen Nuo knew that he could no longer remain unscathed in this deal.

The contract has been signed long ago, and the money has been transferred from the Bank of China to the crew's joint account.
Even the American team, which represents a brand new look, has already been formed.

That was done through Lori Eisner's connections, who found a group of retired old guys who had worked with her uncle to conquer the Disney world.

I've been working on the "Inception" crew for almost half a year, and my salary has reached over a million.

Even in the early stages of the production, the crew had already spent countless amounts of money on location scouting around the world.

Now, you, a British ghost, are telling me that you want to add 50% of the production budget in post-production?
When Chen Nuo heard Christopher Nolan say this in the Warner Bros. conference room in LA,
If it wasn't too late to undo what had happened, Chen Nuo really wanted to slam the table and tell this psychopathic bastard that he didn't want to play anymore.

But at this moment, his butt seemed to be glued to the bench, and he even had to persuade Michael Slan when he yelled, "This is impossible!"
There is no way not to persuade.

Besides the fact that it was too late to undo what had happened, he also had to wait for two years before needing the money.

There is no way he would give up this investment from Facebook.

Now Zuckerberg has given him a valuation of $100 billion, which is the current price just after the financial crisis.

However, if Chen Nuo remembered correctly, in 2012, after the largest technology company IPO in U.S. history, Facebook's market value exceeded billion on the first day of listing.

Increased tenfold in three years.

And unlike BT currency, which is currently just a small puddle, it is a super fund pool that is enough to hold his 2 million US dollars and will never let the butterfly's wings shake.

Therefore, Chen Nuo had to smile and said, "Michael, calm down and listen to Christopher, okay? I believe the director will have enough reasons."

Christopher Nolan nodded to Chen Nuo and said calmly, "Yes, I have my reasons. Michael, and Chen, you should know that this matter is actually against my philosophy. I hesitated for two whole months. Just a week ago, I finally made up my mind."

"Of course, the final choice needs to be decided by the three of us together."

"If both of you disagree, then we will start filming as usual. It's just delayed for more than two months. In these two months, we have also made the preparatory work, including the casting, more perfect, right?"

"Gentlemen."

"We now have Ryan Reynolds, who played Chen's deputy, Arthur. I was impressed by his performance in Buried. I rejected the original Joseph Gordon-Levitt because he and Chen's Chinese elements with black hair and black eyes overlap slightly."

“And Ryan’s blond temperament can effectively balance the diverse backgrounds in the film.”

"For almost the same reason, I eventually chose Keira Knightley to play Mel, Chen's late wife in the film."

"Her beauty in Pirates of the Caribbean left a deep impression on many people."

"I think she and Chen will be a couple that can create sparks of love in the eyes of the audience."

"And our leading lady, Ellen Page."

"Yes, I like her performance in Juno. Her smart and childish temperament is very close to my idea of ​​Adrian."

"In addition, there are Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy and Ken Watanabe..."

"I now truly believe that I have found the perfect cast in my mind. With Chen as the center, each of them will be like a piece of a puzzle, and will eventually be pieced together into a wonderful pattern on the big screen, making everyone wow after watching it."

Michael Slan clapped his hands twice and laughed, "Christopher, I agree with you. After I read your casting, I knew you were on the right track. So, I don't question your delay in starting the film, nor do I doubt your expensive real-life set designs."

"I'm just... sorry, I really don't understand why you said that just now? My God, I don't know what Chen was thinking, but when the time comes, something like this happens. I think it's enough to make those old men on the board of directors of my company cook and eat me whole!"

Christopher Nolan smiled faintly, turned to look at Chen Nuo, and said, "Michael, it's actually because of Chen."

"Me?" Chen Nuo said in surprise.

Nolan smiled and said, "Yes, you. Do you remember what you said to me when you were in China?"

Chen Nuo thought about it carefully, and finally shrugged, "I'm sorry, Christopher. My memory...is not very good."

Nolan said: "It was in that beautiful grassland and snow-capped mountains. You told me that the beautiful scenery here was just like what was described in the script, like an unreal dream."

"And you think that the difference between a dream and a movie is just that..."

“Is it 3D!”

Chen Nuo smiled bitterly and continued.

He remembered.

Indeed, he said this casually while being intoxicated by the beautiful scenery.

Nolan smiled and said, "Then, you mentioned a person and a movie."

Chen Nuo's bitter smile deepened. "James Cameron, Avatar."

Christopher Nolan's face turned serious and he said, "Yes, so I went to find James and I talked to him about his new movie and the 3D camera he invented for it. He talked to me a lot and showed me some clips of his new movie. He really is a person who loves movies, and he is really happy to share. I am very grateful to him."

“Therefore, I want to abandon my persistence and stubbornness, return to purity, give the film itself more and bigger space, and also give us a second option for Inception.”

“Should we make a 3D version of Inception and give the world a real dream?”

"Chen, Michael, this is for you to decide."
