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

Chapter 341 Winners and Losers and Women and Children

Just after Bong Joon-ho finished his speech, Chen Nuo went up and said, "I'll be back."

Something amazing happened.

On William Hill's website, odds on The Hurt Locker began to drop rapidly.

In fact, after the news about Chen Nuo and Harvey came out, the odds of "The Hurt Locker" began to decline. Before the Best Foreign Language Film, it had dropped from the initial 1:8.3 to 1:5.6.

The odds are not far from those of "The Blind Side", which is generally regarded as the biggest rival of "Avatar" at this year's Oscars.

But after Mother won the Best Foreign Language Film, what amazed countless gamblers was that the odds of The Hurt Locker suddenly reached 1:3.5, while Avatar rose to 1:3.8.

For a moment, countless onlookers were amazed on Twitter, wondering if there was some shady deal going on.

But some old gamblers soon explained the whole story to the laymen.

In a word, if there are too many people following the bet, the website will naturally lower the odds.

As for why there are suddenly so many people calling the shots?

That's naturally because everyone likes to stand on the side of the winner, especially the gamblers at the poker table.

Although it is only a Best Foreign Language Film and has nothing to do with the Best Film award, but.
"Some people are blessed by God. Don't doubt it," a person named shock1761 said on Twitter. "I've been in Vegas for 20 years and I've seen a lot of this."

After this post became popular, the odds of "Shock Wave" on websites such as William Hill dropped even faster.

The reason is that there are more and more small bettors. Even half an hour before the best film was announced, when the betting stopped, the odds of "The Hurt Locker" had reached 1:2.8, officially becoming the biggest favorite for the current best film.

This crazy gambling activity even caused some major media outlets that had not previously participated to start reporting on it.

As NBC News put it, "It's conservatively estimated that hundreds of thousands of Americans followed Nolchen's lead in betting on The Hurt Locker, which is simply crazy. But this is not a good thing for Nolchen. Because with the results coming out in half an hour, these millions of followers are likely to become his mortal enemies."

The turmoil in the outside world has made ABC firm in its belief that even if Nouchen has no films nominated next year, he must be the award presenter.

But for Chen Nuo, he doesn’t care whether those gamblers make money or lose money, live or die, it would be best if he loses everything.

Because he hates gambling the most.

Although he was not a good person in his previous life, he had never been involved in those two things while traveling far and wide.

One is drugs and the other is gambling.

He has seen many gamblers who lost everything and sold their children.

He knew very well that
As an individual, whether it is stock trading or gambling, even if you benefit temporarily, there will be no good results in the end.

Because money that is blown by the wind will be blown away by the wind. There are too many examples like this.

Therefore, he never thought of placing bets on gambling websites, even though he clearly remembered that this year's Oscars should be a big upset and made headlines in countless news media the next day.

If Harvey hadn't been too bullying and insisted on giving him money, he wouldn't have done this.

"Chen Nuoxi, Mother won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. What do you want to say to your Korean fans?"

“Thank you for your continued support.”

"When will you come back to Korea again? Chen Nuoxi, I believe many people want to meet you."

Go back? "I will go when I have time. I miss you all too."

"Will you make a movie in Korea again?"

"Of course, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of my Korean studies?"

"Chen Nuoxi, I heard that your parents adopted a Korean girl while you were filming in Korea. Is this news true?"

Why don't you ask your compatriots more? Why are you staring at me and asking questions?
The more you ask, the more boring it becomes. You might as well ask a few Americans about the grudges between Harvey and me.

Chen Nuo turned his head and looked at Feng Junhao.

Fatty Feng immediately said to the press officer, "Let's stop here."

"Okay, thank you reporters. This is the end of the current interview. The award ceremony is still in progress."

By the time the group finished the interview and returned to their seats from backstage, the third-to-last award was already being presented.

As expected, Sandra Bullock won the Best Actress award, and Jeff Bridges won the Best Actor award for Crazy Heart.

Then came the final award, Best Film.

At this time, the real-time number of viewers on the ratings monitoring system backstage at the Oscars studio was about to break 5000 million. The last time the Oscars reached this level of ratings was in 1998.

That’s right, it was the year when “Titanic” was at its peak, winning 11 awards including Best Film and Best Director.

But this year's Avatar is definitely not so glorious.

Before the Best Film award was presented, the film champion in history only won the Best Visual Effects Award.

This made Chen Nuo at a loss for words when he met James Cameron at the Vanity Fair party after the awards ceremony.

Finally, he could only walk over, gently clink the wine glass with the other party, take a small sip, look at the magnificent cocktail party, accompany the most profitable director in history, and fall into silence for a long time.

What unfolded before his eyes was such a star-studded party.

The annual Vanity Fair cocktail party after the Oscars is not only the most watched social event after the Oscars, but also a gathering place for the world's most famous filmmakers, directors and actors.

There is no star in the world, big or small, who doesn't want to get involved.

There is a saying that to judge whether a star has a foothold in the American entertainment industry, just look at how many people come to talk to him or her at the Oscars and Vanity Fair party.

For example, there was a four-member Korean girl group that became popular in Europe and the United States later. One of their members came here and stayed alone for more than half an hour, and finally left in embarrassment.

Similarly, since agents and reporters are not allowed to enter and taking photos is not allowed, there are many Hollywood celebrities who are willing to come here to chat with old friends who they haven't seen for a long time.

For example, the Pitts, Leonardo DiCaprio, Emma Stone and other acquaintances of Chen Nuo who did not attend the award ceremony before are now here.

Leonardo DiCaprio was sitting opposite him, chatting with Kate Winslet, who came home empty-handed tonight. He occasionally glanced over here, obviously waiting for him.

Angelina was with her husband, chatting with Spielberg and George Clooney, turning her head from time to time and glancing at his face out of the corner of her eyes. She was not waiting for him, but probably just missing his bus.

Emma Stone was standing alone, holding a glass of golden champagne, not far away. She looked bored and spent most of her time looking at him, as if she wanted to come up and say hello but didn't dare.

In addition, there was Scarlett Johansson, who was talking to Robert Downey Jr. while looking at him from a distance with cold eyes, as if she had something to ask him.

It felt similar to when Harvey Weinstein came over to give him a check not long ago.

As for Harvey, Chen Nuo accepted it.

After all, anyone, remember, is anyone,

Under the attention of people all over the world, he lost two million dollars to another person in an absolutely humiliating way. Even though the whole world thought he would win, he was defeated against all odds.

Afterwards, he became a laughing stock on various social media platforms, and was compared by many people in the industry with Polanski, who was driven back to France and has disappeared ever since, to be the two worst idiots of 2010.

No one will be in a good mood.

Instead of sending him a bullet, he sent him a check. This is definitely a case of Harvey Weinstein's thief having a code of conduct.

But Chen Nuo was not happy when Scarlett looked at him like that.

Damn it, what do you and your husband, oh no, your ex-husband have to do with me? The way he looks at me, it seems like I have led him astray.

No wonder everyone calls you Black Widow from now on, you deserve it because you can’t find a man.

Chen Nuo was daydreaming when he suddenly heard someone beside him say, "Did you know this would be the result?"

Chen Nuo took a sip of champagne and nodded truthfully, "That's right."

James Cameron smiled and said, "Actually, I don't mind losing to Catherine. Although I broke up with her, we are still friends."

"I see."

"When I heard about your bet with Harvey, I thought you just didn't get along with him. Now it seems that you are reminding me, right?"

"That's right." Chen Nuo nodded calmly, "After all, some things happened two years ago. Of course, I didn't know it would really be the bomb disposal team, I just..."

“I just thought that maybe this would make the world see it more clearly.”

Chen Nuo breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Yes."

"That's not fair."

“It’s not fair.”

"Best visuals ever. Ha. I think they're kidding me now."

"It's actually better than us. We seemed to be the best sound editor at the time."

"Hahaha, very interesting. What did Christopher tell you at the beginning?"

"He said he would make a movie that had never been made before to prove himself."

"prove yourself."

"Yes, he was furious at the time. He didn't even attend the dinner and rushed back to England overnight. It wasn't until a year later that he took out a script, slapped it in front of me and said, Hey Chen, let's shoot this this time."

“Is this the one you’re filming now?”

"Yes. At first we only started with the plot and special effects, but later, he got those two cameras from you. To be honest, I have never seen him so happy. In fact, when I first heard him talk about it, I disagreed, Warner disagreed, and maybe everyone in the world disagreed, but he insisted on his own way. In the end, he convinced all of us. The reason is simple, he wants to prove something to those who have created injustice."

James Cameron was silent now, took a sip of wine, and then said: "If I were 20 years younger, I would probably say the same thing to him. But now, I think Avatar is my limit, and this will be my last time attending the Oscars."

When Chen Nuo heard the old man's calm voice, he finally sighed sincerely.

He knew that James Cameron was not kidding him. 13 years later, "Avatar 2: The Way of Water" was nominated for eight awards including Best Picture at the 95th Academy Awards, but this man never went to the Kodak Theater again.

In thirteen years, many things have changed, but this person still hasn't left.

From this we can see that although the old man looks indifferent now, Chen Nuo dares to bet that the hatred and resentment in his heart are probably deeper than the sea and higher than the sky.

"James, you don't have to." Before he could finish, James Cameron interrupted calmly, because the proud king of commercial movies didn't need any consolation, "I'll say hello to them and go back to tell Warner that you can use the two machines for up to three months at the original price. Please also tell Christopher to shoot well, and if you need anything for post-production special effects, you can contact me. I hope to watch him stand on the Oscar podium in front of the TV next year."

"Okay, I should go now. In fact, if I didn't want to talk to you, I wouldn't be here."

"FUCK Oscar."

After saying the last ungraceful swear word, James Cameron put down his glass and left the party with his third or fourth wife.

This made many big and small stars, as well as film company owners and producers who were waiting to talk to the Lord of Avatar, feel greatly disappointed.

As a result, all eyes were focused on Chen Nuo, wondering what the two men had said.

Could it be that the recognized big winner tonight pissed off the recognized big loser?
It's not impossible.

Look at that fat guy Harvey.

He clearly went there to pay a check, but was called a "loser" by that narrow-minded Chinese boy. He immediately looked unhappy, and he didn't even dare to deny it. As a result, he only stayed for less than ten minutes and left, even walking ahead of James Cameron.

James Cameron gave up his seat, and Emma Stone, who had been waiting for a long time, was about to go over, but immediately, a brown-haired woman occupied the seat in front of that man.

Emma Stone recognized that this woman was the big winner of the night, the director of "The Hurt Locker" and the first female director ever to win the Best Picture, Kathryn Bigelow.

The two big winners of the night met, and the feeling was completely different from before. They talked to each other happily for a long time before parting with a smile.

Emma Stone just started to walk, but then stopped helplessly because another blonde woman arrived.

Well, Scarlett is also friends with him? This is too weird. Oh no, it looks like she is looking for trouble with him.

At this time, Emma Stone vaguely remembered that when "My Blueberry Nights" was released, her agent at the time had said something to her, but now it seems that none of it has come true.

Look, he already has friends, enemies, fans, and lovers here.

This Chinese boy did not become a shooting star, but he had some intricate connections in this lalaland, just like a big tree that is slowly taking root.

Although it seems like we are just beginning and everything is still so fragile, who knows how things will happen in the future?

Emma Stone was in a daze when she suddenly saw the other person turn around and wave to her.

The girl immediately smiled and walked over with a glass of wine.

After dealing with some irrelevant people, Chen Nuo saw Leo and Kate walking towards him with smiles on their faces, and he waved to Emma Stone who had been waiting for a long time.

Leo introduced Kate Winslet to him, so of course he had to introduce a friend of his, lest people think that he has no friends of his age in Hollywood except the directors, which is too embarrassing.

And the circle is built up from one friend after another, isn't it?
Actually, if you think about it, these two pairs are quite interesting.

Kate and Leo went from being friends with benefits to close friends because of Titanic, and it seems that he and Emma are also on the same trend.

He omitted the word "fuck buddy" from this statement and said it in front of everyone, and all three of them laughed.

Alas, it’s actually not that funny.

This is the sadness of many actors, they have no life of their own except acting. All their friends and lovers are connected because of acting. Similarly, when they chat, they will talk about movies every few sentences.

"Quentin told you?" Kate and Emma were chatting, and Leonardo also talked to him about the new play.

"Yes, I did. Why, he invited you too?"

"Yes. Hello? What's wrong with you? Did Quentin tell you about me? How come you're not surprised at all?"

So, it really is "Django Unchained" that has become "The Chinese Laborers Unchained"?
The rebellion of black slaves turned into a rebellion of Chinese workers?

This……

Motherfucker, this butterfly effect is really fucking interesting.

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "I guessed. Otherwise, why would you mention this?"

"It's pretty fun, isn't it? Quentin said that we are mortal enemies in the play. To be honest, this is much more interesting than Shutter Island."

"Have you read the script?"

"No, I just listened to Quentin's talk. I was quite interested. What about you?"

“Of course, I’m looking forward to what he’ll write.”

Normally one could have stayed at the Vanity Fair party for a long time, but Chen Nuo made an agreement with Leo that after he finished filming Inception, they would go to his LA mansion for a gathering. And this time he would definitely not run away, but would hang out with him for a few days before leaving.

Liu Yifei’s call is one thing, Emma Stone’s is another.

Or, there is no need to separate them so clearly. In fact, in some cases, the two can actually overlap.

"Well, there's nothing to be happy about. It's not like I won the award. The trophy isn't even with me. I don't even have a necklace. I'm just a bystander."

"If you had a necklace this time, whose name would you write?"

Chen Nuo dared to guarantee that in LA tonight, there were definitely more than just one or two pairs of wild couples like him and her.

Coming from Hollywood Boulevard, he saw several G-Class or similar SUVs parked on the side of the road, and they were shaking slightly.

Chen Nuo dared to guarantee that it was definitely not caused by the wind.

When Emma Stone heard Liu Yifei's question, he penetrated all the way at once, and the pleasure that came from it made him almost scream out.

But I finally held back.

To Liu Yifei on the other end of the phone, it sounded like he was silent for only two seconds.

"your name."

"real!?"

There should be no brain marrow in Chen Nuo's brain at this time, all of it is another kind of white liquid, "Really..."

I wanted to say something nonsense.
But suddenly, he saw Emma Stone twisting and turning on him like the yangge, and he didn't know what she touched. She opened her red lips and was about to scream.

Fortunately, Chen Nuo’s Inception was not filmed in vain, and he really practiced the action scenes. With quick eyes and hands, he grabbed something from the side and stuffed it into Emma’s mouth.

It turned out to be the sexy thong that the other person had just taken off.

However, Emma Stone's big blue eyes were completely absent-minded at this time. She didn't care what it was and just bit it tightly in her mouth.

But the piece of cloth was too small to completely block her mouth, and she still let out a whimper.

At this time, I have to thank Apple.

As always, the iPhone's radio can't pick up the nearby.

Liu Yifei laughed, "I don't believe it, you are just a liar. So tell me, how are you going to spend the 200 million you won tonight?"

This time Chen Nuo chose to tell the truth: "Buy a house."

"what?"

"I'm planning to buy a house in LA so I don't have to stay in a hotel every time I come here."

"No need." Liu Yifei's voice suddenly became a little softer, and she said shyly, "Don't I have a house? You can go and live there."

Ha ha.

It is obvious that Xixi looks down upon Nuoge's character.

Brother Nuo is a very noble person.

It is absolutely impossible to live in your girlfriend's house and bring a woman back home.

At that time, if something unexpected happens, who will go to the balcony?
Liu Yifei's home is an apartment. What if someone dies?
Can he do such a thing?

In order to be responsible for his life, there was no way Chen Nuo would agree to it.

After he refused, we chatted for a few more sentences. Tonight's phone call with Xixi started off well but ended badly.

Perhaps at the moment he pressed the hang-up button, Emma Stone let out a moan that had been suppressed for an unknown amount of time, suddenly bursting out from her throat.

The slightly hoarse voice was filled with emotions from within, which made Chen Nuo's blood boil. He stretched out his hand and pushed her forward. The girl's body leaned forward and she lay down between the two front seats like a boneless person.

Chen Nuo took the lead and rose to prominence
Until the two separated, Emma Stone didn't ask who the girl on the phone was.

We have to blame Apple again.

As always, the iPhone's earpiece is like it's naturally on speakerphone.

But Emma Stone ignored it.

There is no doubt that such a woman is definitely a PY worth dating for a long time. American girls are really sensible.

Emma Stone drove away in her Mercedes-Benz, and Chen Nuo got into the Ford car driven by Qi Yuntian and Linghu, the crew.

The downside of not having a place to live is that he hasn’t even bought a car, so this time Chen Nuo is really planning to turn the money he won into real estate.

After getting in the car, Qi Yuntian asked, "Where are we going?"

Chen Nuo looked at the time and said, "Let's go back to the hotel."

Seeing Qi Yuntian seemed relieved, he couldn't help but said, "How long can you hide? If you don't go tonight, we will meet tomorrow. I think, whether it's IVF or something else, you are not without money anyway. What's the problem with having a child and giving it to your mom and dad to take care of and fulfill their wishes? Do you really have the heart to let your Qi family die out?"

Qi Yuntian chuckled and said, "It's easy for you to say that. It's not like raising a cat or a dog, it's raising a child. Do you think it's really that simple? I'll just leave it to them and do nothing."

Chen Nuo said disapprovingly: "What's so difficult about it? I think it's all the same."

"Have you ever raised one?"

"No, I guessed."

"Haha, then when you have it in the future, you will know."

"What do you mean? Don't fucking curse me."
