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

Chapter 344: Cuckolded! ?

"what?"

"She said that you gave her a good business idea, to open a hotel chain in Canada. She planned to do this business and start her own business, so she asked for leave from the company. Is that true?"

Chen Nuo remembered and frowned: "Yes, then what?"

"Then, she called me and said she was going to do this seriously. She said she wanted to take a break for a while and asked the company to suspend all her activities. Although I also think she should take a break, I found it a bit strange when she said she was going to take a year off."

a year?
Chen Nuo was quite surprised.

He did tell her about the store in Canada.

But does it take a year to run this? To open a company, hire some people, or at most ask her parents who have nothing to do to help out, a month at most would be enough.

One year, you want to immigrate?

Besides, why didn’t you call him instead of Qi Yuntian?

Or in other words, why didn't you tell him after calling Qi Yuntian?
This is really full of doubts.

Qi Yuntian said: "Well, you also find it incredible, right? So I am a little skeptical..."

I was cheated on? Chen Nuo almost responded subconsciously.

Fortunately, Qi Yuntian hadn't thought about it so deeply. He also stopped talking in time and didn't embarrass himself.

In Chen Nuo's complicated and inexplicable eyes, Qi Yuntian continued: "Will she have any other ideas? After all, she only has 5% of the shares in our company, and she didn't get the dividends promised this year... We don't know whether "Inception" will make a profit or a loss in the end... Her 5000 million, well, it's also a loan..."

Qi Yuntian talked for a long time, but in fact he was just wondering whether Sister Binbing wanted to set up her own business.

Chen Nuo thought that what Qi Yuntian said made sense.

This is also a possibility.

Either she wants to go solo, or she wants to go solo after cheating on him.

There is almost no possibility of a third reason.

Because to Chen Nuo, this matter was really too strange.

Fan Binbing and Liu Yifei are different. In his impression, this woman was on the headlines almost all day long before the tax evasion case broke out, and she definitely had never rested for such a long time.

In particular, Fan Binbing's performance in this life is obviously better than in the previous life.

Although he is ranked eighth on the celebrity list.

But, if we really want to talk about it, how much difference is there in terms of popularity from the first to the tenth? They are basically household names.

In this case, not only does she not make any money, but she has to take a rest.

………………We are together less and apart more, and Sister Binbing is 30 years old…

Chen Nuo really couldn't help but think about it.

But if he really gets cheated on, what can he do?
When Sister Binbing gave him the 5000 million, Chen Nuo was really going to remember her favor for the rest of his life.

If his new love wants to set up her own family, he can't just say no, let alone take her to court.

After thinking for a while, Chen Nuo said directly: "After I finish filming Twilight, I will go see her and ask her in person."

Qi Yuntian said: "Okay."

Chen Nuo still felt uncomfortable, so he continued to look at the list to distract himself.

At the 19th position, he saw a familiar name.

Zhou Xun ranked 18th, and Zhao Wei ranked 20th.
It is No. 19 Liu Yifei.

With an income of 1380 million, he ranked 61st.

However, the exposure of public opinion ranked 8th, and the comprehensive ranking was 19th. The comment after the name was: "Starred in "The Love of Hawthorn Tree", and the exposure of the relationship caused huge controversy."

After looking at the domestic rankings, Chen Nuo clicked on a link left by a fan.

The international ranking in this link is why many people congratulated him in the comments section.

I don’t know if there is a lack of communication between Forbes’ editors in mainland China and North America, which is why this bug occurred.

In short, he, who ranked second in China, became the first Asian star to enter the top 41 of the Forbes Global Celebrity List. Jacky Chan was only ranked st.

He ranked 28th, between LeBron James at 30th and Brad Pitt at th.

Let’s not even mention his pitiful $2200 million annual income here.

Even if we take his hidden income into account, it is nothing compared to those celebrities who earn hundreds of millions of dollars.

But for Chinese fans, this is already worth posting congratulations and a lot of congratulatory messages on his Weibo.

After all, we all know that when there is a wall, many things cannot be communicated smoothly.

The Forbes Celebrity Rankings are the most intuitive data that can provide a sense of someone's influence overseas.

In 2009, he was ranked ahead of movie star Brad Pitt and 38th ahead of Tom Cruise, which definitely says something.

"You were filming at the time, so I didn't tell you. In fact, many domestic media have reported on it." Qi Yuntian looked at his phone screen and interrupted, "Although this list changes a lot depending on the works and news of the year, it is still a bit of a gimmick."

Chen Nuo felt that Qi Yuntian was right. These lists were indeed just gimmicks.

One can even say that they are all the carrot hanging in front of the donkey's head.

Just look at the comments in the comment section of his latest Weibo post and you will know.

The top five posts with the highest likes are all talking about this.

“No’s Little Rocket: Top 3 in the world!! Brother Nuo has made the Chinese entertainment industry proud!! Jay Chou’s fans are too jealous, hahahahaha. Let’s wait for Twilight to smash the Hollywood box office again next year! (PS: Can he surpass Jackie Chan next year [dog head])”

"I'm crazy about Nod: three European film actors + the only Asian in the top 30 of the global list. Some sour fans of Taiwan still talk about income? I'm sick of it."

"Huahua next door: Am I the only one who thinks 29th on the global list is too low?"

"Solo for life: When fans of other artists are competing for Chinese charts, the global charts are the real deal! What is a global artist? Jay Chou fans, please check the dictionary before you criticize him [vomit]."

"Did Nuonuo make an official announcement today: On the Chinese list, the fairy ranked 19th seems to have relied on your popularity to get to the top [smile], are you and Liu Yifei just hyping or are you serious? Can you answer me?"

From these extremely embarrassing and incomprehensible comments, we can tell that the fact that these rankings exist and are popular all over the world means that they are effective and eye-catching enough.

Having said that,
He is currently ranked second in the country. Doesn’t he want to be ranked first next year?
He is ranked 29th in the world. Doesn't he want to be ranked 19th next year?

He didn't really become an immortal.

The desire to win is something that no one can escape, from a 3-year-old baby to an 85-year-old man.

It’s just that some people can see things in a positive light, while others can’t.

The former can be the master of the carrot, while the latter is the donkey.

He is just a second-generation human being, and he has a bit of mastery.

Thinking of the word "Fan", Chen Nuo's originally good mood suddenly became gloomy again.

After distracting myself for a long time, I still feel a knot in my heart.

If the guest he was waiting for hadn't arrived at this time, he might have made a phone call to find out what was going on.

……

……

When Chen Kexin met Chen Nuo, the admiration he expressed was at least 90% sincere.

"Nuozi, long time no see. Seeing you win the award in Berlin is the happiest day of my year."

"Thank you, thank you Director Chen. Please sit for a while. We will be there soon."

"It's okay, I won't mind waiting, I can just chat with you."

After not seeing each other for a long time, the two of them were very warm.

We talked about Chen Nuo's recently finished filming of Inception, and the interesting encounter we had at the Golden Horse Awards. We also talked about Chen Kexin's new film that was fooled by investors.

Chen Nuo was inexplicably moved to hear that Chen Kexin had originally prepared three films, a Chinese magical realism blockbuster "Zhong Kui", an action film, and the project we are talking about today. He had been busy for a year, but in the end none of them started shooting.

To be honest, the past two years of the economic crisis have been tough. This is Chen Kexin, who made money on "The Warlords". According to Mr. Xu from Hengdian, the number of TV series started last year in China hit a new low in the past five years.

Lori Eisner did not make the two wait too long. Basically, she arrived on time, as is customary among European and American business people.

Although it has only been two days since she left Warner and joined Netflix, it seems that the new company treats her very well, making this blonde Barbie even more energetic. Wearing high heels and a one-line skirt, she walks with the wind.

When Chen Kexin stood up, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart again.

Who would have thought that a young handsome man who was brought to his company by his teacher for an audition would be able to get to where he is today? In just a few years, he could actually be a matchmaker between him and Hollywood capital.

Chen Nuo didn't think so much about it.

Luo Rui said that after joining Netflix, she plans to start looking for some directors to work with to produce some low-budget movies and invest in streaming media starting from the second half of this year, including Asian directors, and ask him if there are any suitable projects.

On the other hand, Chen Kexin called him again and talked about the new film.

He simply pulled the string.

If the deal is successful, he will invest some money.

If the negotiation fails, then there is no negotiation.

Both sides were very familiar with each other, so Chen Nuo was not polite. After sitting down, he had a few words with Luo Rui before introducing in English: "Director, let me introduce you. This is the former president of Disney, the famous... OK, don't look at me like that. Let me say it again. She is the vice president of Netflix, a famous American video rental company, and my good friend, Ms. Luo Rui Eisner."

"Director PETER Chan is one of the best directors in Hong Kong. He is also the first director in the world who allowed me to act in a commercial film. He is also my good friend."

Lori Eisner smiled and said, "Hello, Director Chen, nice to meet you."

"Hello." Chen Kexin stretched out his hand and shook hands with Luo Rui.

Then the parties took their seats. After the initial warm-up greetings, Chen Nuo spoke very little when Chen Kexin started talking about the idea for his new film.

The Queen's Road Ripper.

This is the new film that Chen Kexin is trying to attract investment for.

Although he had never heard of it in his previous life, Chen Nuo had heard Chen Kexin talk about some of the concepts on the phone before.

Chen Nuo thought it sounded quite creative. It was a combination of thriller, eroticism, suspense, horror, weirdness, and imagination. It was exactly the type of movie that Hong Kong was best at. That’s why Director Chen brought the script to the United States.

He also did this because Director Chen definitely had a good relationship with him. Not to mention their previous friendship, when Director Chen, Huang Jianxin and Bona founded Renren Films to invest in "October Besieged City", Fan Binbing was able to play the leading role in it, which was definitely a great favor to him.

Of course he would not refuse something that was convenient for him to do now.

The few people didn't chat for long because Chen Nuo had to catch a flight to Universal City, California today to discuss the contract for Twilight's last film, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn", with Summit Entertainment.

So at noon, everyone had lunch together. After Chen Kexin and Luo Rui exchanged their phone numbers, they went their separate ways.

When they parted, Lori Eisner said she was optimistic. She contacted Chen Kexin again three days later, and then left in a chic manner with her secretary, leaving behind a scent of fragrance.

The only one left was Chen Kexin, the one with long hair. When saying goodbye, she hugged him for a long time and repeatedly told him to call her when he returned home.

……

……

At the headquarters of Summit Entertainment, Chen Nuo, who was visiting for the first time, received a very warm welcome, which was no less than the welcome Zhang Yimou and Liu Yifei received at Chengdu Chengtian Cinema a month ago.

Although Summit Entertainment signed the contract at a slight loss, it definitely made some money.

This time, not only was a Rolls-Royce Phantom arranged to pick up the guests at the airport, but the CEO Will Statham also personally led a dozen company executives to greet them at the door.

After that, the two parties had a preliminary chat for an hour or two and had a preliminary communication on the contract.

Then, Summit Entertainment, as the host, also planned to arrange a dinner.

But Chen Nuo declined.

After returning to the hotel, I talked with several American lawyers and Qi Yuntian for more than an hour, and then we went to rest.

Chen Nuo looked at the time and made a phone call to China.

After a few rings, Liu Yifei picked up the phone.

But he was obviously still asleep, and asked dazedly, "Who?"

Chen Nuo was a little embarrassed, and hummed, "It's me."

"Awwww!!!"

After two seconds of silence, Liu Yifei suddenly burst into tears.

This cry contained the grievances that had been accumulated for who knows how long, and it was really heartbreaking to hear.

Even though Chen Nuo was a veteran, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed for a moment.

It’s just that his tone was a little harsh when he told her not to contact him last time. After that, she called him a few times, but he didn’t answer and just hung up. As for whether it’s true or not.

Liu Yifei cried for about two or three minutes before her voice slowly died down. She sobbed and said, "I swore I wouldn't answer your calls, but you took advantage of me when I was half asleep... Otherwise, I wouldn't have paid any attention to you."

Chen Nuo laughed and said, "How is that possible? You are so kind, generous and broad-minded. Even if you are not asleep, you will definitely answer my call. I know that. Don't try to deceive me."

It must be said that the naive and kind-hearted Xixi really couldn't handle Chen's roundabout way of speaking, which seemed to be a disparagement but was actually a compliment. Just with this one sentence, she suddenly felt like laughing. She snorted lightly, burped, and said, "You, don't try to make me happy. I've decided to ignore you."

"Thoughts do change. Especially since I heard that the smarter a person is, the faster their thoughts change. With someone as smart as you, you must have changed a long time ago, right?"

"You, you, you...you haven't changed!"

"Hahahaha, okay, let me tell you something serious."

Chen Nuo knew it was almost done.

When you are trying to coax a girl, remember not to just talk. Saying one or two words is humorous, but saying more will make the other person feel at a disadvantage and think you are being slick.

At this time, you can change the topic appropriately and distract the attention, and the matter will be almost over.

Moreover, one of the reasons why he called was that he really had something important to ask.

"Have you contacted your sister Binbing recently?"

Perhaps because she could tell Chen Nuo's voice was very serious, Liu Yifei stopped making trouble. After thinking for a while, she said, "I called him last week. What happened?"

"Did you ask her where she was and if she looked any different than usual?"

"She's in Canada. She said she's planning to start a business there, opening a few hotels. Is there anything different from usual? ... Yeah, it seems so."

Chen Nuo's heart suddenly tightened, and he asked, "What's the difference?"

Liu Yifei said: "She hung up after talking to me for a few words, as if she was very busy. Moreover, in the past half month, she always said that she had something to do and was very busy, and she didn't text me much."

Xixi felt a little aggrieved and said in a crying voice: "...You two have ignored me recently."

Chen Nuo felt a little cold and heavy in his heart at this time. He couldn't help but turn his head to look in the mirror. He didn't know if it was because of the light, but he really felt that there was a little green on his head.

He didn't want to talk any more, so he said seriously, "The movie Inception is very important. I told you last time. I must devote myself to it. This movie is not just about me. It's about you, your sister Binbing, Mr. Qi, and our entire company. There are so many people waiting outside to laugh at us. If they see that this movie loses money, many people may get up in the middle of the night and open champagne. Tell me, can I not be serious?"

Liu Yifei said: "I know... I just..."

Her voice suddenly dropped. Fortunately, Chen Nuo's room was quiet enough at this time so she could hear those few faint words from the receiver: "I miss you so much."

Chen Nuo thought for a moment and said, "Then why don't you come to Vancouver? I will go there to shoot Twilight."

"Ah?" Liu Yifei's voice was suddenly filled with surprise and joy. "But, but you, don't you still have to film?"

Hearing her so happy, Chen Nuo felt a little better.

Perhaps this is why bad men and bad women always have some spare tires. It can indeed provide some emotional value to people at certain times.

Although the relationship between Chen Nuo, Liu Yifei and Fan Binbing is not like this, and it is actually a bit inappropriate to say this, but this is roughly the meaning.

"It's just Twilight. It's different from Inception. I can act it with my eyes closed." Chen Nuo boasted.

Liu Yifei sounded happy now, "Okay! That's what you said. I, I'll call and book a flight now!"

Chen Nuo said helplessly: "Wait, don't be so anxious, wait until I go over first and then come over."

The girl was a little disappointed. "Ah? When was that?"

"Maybe in a few days. I'm still in the United States, negotiating a contract with the producer."

Liu Yifei's voice was soft, "Well, then hurry up."

"it is good!"

Liu Yifei finally smiled this time, and looked very happy, "Then we can go see Sister Binbing together."

Chen Nuo said noncommittally: "We'll see what happens then. If your sister Bingbing is busy, then forget it."

Liu Yifei hummed: "Indeed, starting a business is very busy. Chen Nuo, let me tell you, I have also started a business recently!"

Chen Nuo laughed and said, "Really? What did you do? Did you open a hot pot restaurant like others?"

"No, not really." Liu Yifei laughed, "I opened an animation company."

"What? An animation company?"

"Yes, the animation company is in your Chengdu."

Chen Nuo didn't believe it at all, and laughed: "What kind of animation? Doraemon or HalloKitty, oh, is it your favorite one, Chibi Maruko-chan?"

"What? No way! And my favorite thing is Minnie! Not Chibi Maruko-chan!" Liu Yifei said dissatisfiedly.

"Ohhh. Yes, Minnie. I remember your pajamas were all like this, right?"

"Hehe, yes."

"So you set up an animation company to draw Minnie for you?"

"No, it's not! Don't look down on me. Well, actually, it's not just me. I'm just investing."

Wow, Liu Yifei actually knows how to invest. Chen Nuo laughed, "That's awesome, Xixi. How much money did you invest?"

Liu Yifei said with some pride: "One million, accounting for 50%."

"One million?" To be honest, this number was a bit beyond Chen Nuo's expectations. "Who is your partner? What does he do?"

He originally thought Liu Yifei was joking.

But one million is no joking number.

And what Liu Yifei said next made him more than 60% sure that this woman must have been deceived.

"He's the president of our union. I just found out this time that he's an animator. He's been doing it at home for several years, and recently made a short film that won a lot of awards. He'll be going to Germany to compete in the second half of the year. It just so happens that he's planning to expand his work and hire more people, so he seems to be a little short of money..."

You also believe what netizens say, Xixi, Xixi, you really have never been beaten by society. Chen Nuo sneered and said, "So you volunteered and said you wanted to invest."

"Yes. Well, there is actually another reason. It was during the Hawthorn Tree roadshow, and I found a few free tickets to give to our union members. As a result, the president was called by the host to ask questions. He asked Director Zhang a question, and after Director Zhang answered him, I felt that the president was a little sad and looked a little pitiful. Later, I thought, since I have money anyway, I might as well make some investments and start a business like Sister Binbing. Hehe."

"What did he ask?"

"I forgot the details, but he probably asked Director Zhang what he thought about making animated films in China and whether it had a future or something like that."

"What did Zhang Yimou say? Why do you sympathize with him?"

"Director Zhang talked for a long time, but his intention was to persuade him to change his career."

"…Oh. So you decided to do something kind, huh? Hehehe, are you sure you didn't fall for it?"

"Definitely not. I went to Xigua Studio before. It's right in your Chengdu Hi-Tech Zone."

"What's the name of the studio?"

"My name is Jiao Keli."

What chocolate? I've never heard of it.

Chen Nuo is now almost 100% certain that Liu Yifei was tricked.

It's not a scam, but a trap that tricks people into falling into it.

Chengdu has a well-developed tertiary industry, and there are many companies making games, animations and other miscellaneous things.

But as far as Chen Nuo knows, only a few of them can succeed. Most of them will close down after three or four years.

This is probably what happened to Liu Yifei. The one million was basically thrown into the water.

He said in a bad tone: "Does your mother know about this? What did she say? Why didn't you tell me?"

Liu Yifei said dissatisfiedly: "I called you before, just to discuss it with you. But you didn't answer and hung up my phone! My mom doesn't know, and I only told you."
