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

Chapter 346 Wait

At this time, it was already May 2010, 5.

Chen Nuo's time on the set of "Twilight 3" has entered the countdown.

There aren't many scenes left, and we can wrap up shooting in three or four days at most.

Before that, he and Liu Yifei finally met Fan Binbing on the streets of Vancouver, who had been saying she was busy and whom they had been seeing for almost a month.

Chen Nuo felt that this must be God telling him,
Some emotions or obsessions might as well be left in this foreign country.

Chen Nuo stood there with a smile, watching Liu Yifei happily hug Fan Binbing.

The weather in Vancouver in May is quite cold, especially since it rained last night.

Fan Binbing seems a little afraid of the cold. Unlike Liu Yifei's casual outfit of a windbreaker and a thin woolen sweater, she wears loose and casual clothes, a thin cotton coat and a turtleneck sweater, and she looks like she is still in winter.

Noticing his gaze, Fan Binbing turned around and smiled at him, saying, "Why, why are you looking at me? Don't you recognize me?"

They are all talented actors, so who is afraid of whom? Even though he felt bad, Chen Nuo smiled as if nothing had happened, saying, "A little bit. Hey, is the food here too good? Why do you feel a little fatter?"

I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t acted in a long time, but to Chen Nuo’s surprise, the little joke actually made Fan Binbing’s smile freeze for a moment.

She touched her face with her hand, turned around and asked Liu Yifei: "Really? Feifei, am I fat?"

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Chen Nuo and said, "No, not at all. Don't listen to Chen Nuo's nonsense."

Fan Binbing smiled and hugged Liu Yifei again, saying, "Xixi is still good at talking."

After Fan Binbing sat down, Chen Nuo pressed the service bell. After the waiter came over with the menu, Chen Nuo was about to order a caramel latte for her, but Fan Binbing said first, "Soda water, thank you."

It wasn't just the water I drank. During the following conversation, a feeling of unfamiliarity grew stronger and stronger.

This made Chen Nuo feel that his previous guesses were basically true.

If she hadn't done anything to let him down, otherwise, given Fan Binbing's personality of always teasing him, why would she be like this now, constantly chatting with Liu Yifei and not even daring to look him in the eye?

It wasn't until Fan Binbing seemed to have discovered the problem that she started to talk to him, "I can't go to the filming of No Man's Land this time. Has the company decided who to cast?"

"I don't know. Li Jing and Ning Hao are looking for someone. I don't care about this."

Fan Binbing smiled and said, "I've been on vacation for so long, there shouldn't be any problems with the company, right?"

"no problem."

"……That's good."

Apart from the final goodbye, this was the only conversation between the two people during the meeting.

It was exactly like the feeling of an ex-boyfriend and ex-girlfriend meeting each other, as if there was an invisible wall between the two of them.

And Chen Nuo was sure that this wall was built by the other party.

Finally, even Liu Yifei noticed that something was wrong between the two of them. After dinner, when they separated, she frowned and asked him, "Chen Nuo, I think you and Sister Binbing are acting strangely. What's going on?"

"Have it?"

"Yes. Are you angry with Sister Binbing?"

"No."

"Obviously. Oh, I see. Are you unhappy that Sister Binbing is starting a business in Canada and has to stay here for so long?"

"Really not. It would be fine for her to stay for a few more years."

Chen Nuo did not lie.

There is a saying that the earth will continue to rotate regardless of who is around.

The same seems to be true for Huanxin Company.

Except for the man named Chen, no one is irreplaceable.

No matter her last name is Fan or Liu.

Although Fan Binbing left Beijing to close her business, Liu Yifei temporarily left the mainland to accompany her boyfriend to film a movie.

But from April to May 2010, the most popular actress in China still came from Huanxin Company.

Her name is Zhao Liying, from Langfang, Hebei Province, and she used to be a supporting actress in Hengdian.

The ancient costume palace drama "Beauty's Rival in Palace" premiered on Anhui TV in March, with a viewership rating of only 3% at the time of its premiere.
For a drama starring a new female lead, this result is not good, but it is also expected.

No one expected that a month later on April 4, just when Chen Nuo arrived in Vancouver to start filming "Twilight", "Beauty's Secret" would come to an end.

At that time, its peak viewership ratings reached 1.8%, which not only surpassed "My Little Auntie Duohe" starring Sun Li and with a viewership rating of 1.33% and "Dream of Red Mansions" starring many female stars in the same year, but even approached the highest viewership rating of 1.92% set by the phenomenal drama "Three Kingdoms" that year.

The reason why the ratings of "Beauty's Rival in Palace" have been rising all the time,

The "double showdown" between Zhao Liying and Yang Mi, who became popular in China for "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", attracted a large number of viewers.

There is also Zhao Liying herself.

Her ancient costume is really eye-catching.

In terms of acting skills, she is indeed a little better than the popular young actresses of the same age in "Legend of Sword and Fairy III", including Yang Mi in the drama.

The most important thing is her harmless, non-lethal face, which has an appeal to both men and women.

It even attracts more female fans than male fans.

She alone was pushed to the top of the trending searches by those fan circle girls six times, which was two more times than the number that the crew bought specifically for Sina.

Nowadays, it can be said that it is a hit in the country.

So much so that some entertainment media even shouted the exaggerated slogan "Renew the tail end and sweep the ceiling of domestic entertainment!"

Under such circumstances, many businesses came to Zhao Liying, and her endorsement fee soared to 300 million yuan a year, and her commercial performance fee also reached about 50 yuan per show.

Although in accordance with Huanxin Company's usual shy style, it has not yet started to accept commercial performances to make money, and is also cautious in choosing endorsements, but it seems that the third pillar is about to be established.

and,

"In July of the second half of the year, Zhao Liying will have another drama, The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, which will be broadcast on local TV stations nationwide. By then, the popularity will continue to rise. Besides, Zhao Liying is a hard-working person. By then, she will make more contributions to the company than Yi Fei by performing in commercial shows and accepting endorsements."

Although Chen Nuo did not express his opinion on the judgment made by Li Jing when reporting to Qi Yuntian, he actually had more confidence in Zhao Liying than anyone else.

More than ten years later, among the female artists born after 85, this baby-faced girl is still the most popular for the longest time.

If Liu Yifei got married, had children, and then got divorced, she might not have the same long-lasting vitality as her, an actress who is still going against the trend.

Not to mention others.

The key point is what is the relationship between Xiao Zhao and him?
Friendship!

Friendship lasts forever, and that is the real stabilizer.

Fan Binbing,
Let it be over.

……

……

Three days later, "Twilight 3" was completed.

In the evening, Chen Nuo and Liu Yifei were packing their luggage in the room when suddenly the phone rang.

Chen Nuo looked at the name on the phone, picked up the phone and said with a smile: "Hello, Miss Vice President, what's going on?"

Chen Nuo's smile only lasted three seconds before slowly disappearing.

After listening for dozens of seconds, he smiled again and said, "OK, I get it. Thank you, Luo Rui, I owe you one. Tell them, it's okay, send it."

"you sure?"

"yes, I'm sure."

Then he hung up the phone, sat on the bed and thought for a while, then opened his laptop and logged on to Twitter.

Liu Yifei was humming a song behind him and putting clothes into the suitcase. Five minutes later, Chen Nuo refreshed Twitter and saw the latest tweet from TMZ.

I picked up my phone and dialed a number.

As always, Qi Yuntian always answered his calls quickly, and he heard "Hello" after only two rings.

Chen Nuo asked directly: "How were your talks at the summit these days?"

Qi Yuntian's tone on the phone showed that he knew nothing at all. "Didn't I just tell you this this morning? That old guy Will Statham has been beating around the bush with us. I've been going back and forth between LA and here."

"Oh. I just received a call from Lori Eisner..."

Chen Nuo calmly told Qi Yuntian the news he had just received on the phone.

At the same time, as he was speaking, the tune that was originally humming behind him also became quiet.

"Will, it must be him. Wait a minute, I'm going to call that bastard Will Statham right now!" Qi Yuntian's voice got louder at the end, and the resentment in his voice was almost spreading into his five-star suite through the radio waves.

This seemed to be the first time that Chen Nuo saw this guy lose his composure like this since they met Qi Yuntian.

Chen Nuo seemed unhurried and said, "Wait a minute, calm down. Are you sure it was Will Statham who did it?"

"Who else but him!? It must be him."

"Do you think he wants to use this to force me to sign a contract with them?"

"Definitely is!"

"Okay, but don't call. Go to Twitter first, and then we can talk."

"……it is good."

After the call ended, Chen Nuo didn't say anything. He slid the mouse and looked at TMZ's Twitter account on the computer screen.

That tweet, which was just sent out, may have received more than a thousand hits and more than a hundred comments in just three minutes.

In this day and age, this number is not small.

It won’t be long before tags related to him will be in the top 20 of the North American trend list.

TMZ, the largest entertainment news network in North America launched by Warner and AOL America Online, was able to contact Luo Rui and inform him before publishing the news, which was definitely a huge honor for Chen Nuo.

So, even though the tweet was not very polite, he was not very angry.

TMZ: Exclusive revelation - #NoChen#VampireKing#or#TheKingofGreed#? Insider reveals that the male lead of Twilight earned 1.2 million US dollars in the first two volumes! The fourth volume even asked for a sky-high renewal price, and the negotiations have been stuck so far...

The article recounted some so-called insider information, which confirmed that he had made a lot of money from the first two films. So it seemed that he was still asking for a huge amount of money for the fourth film, which was a bit intolerable.

Just like in the current comment section,
Like the top-rated comment from @RealPatriot_USA.

"A Chinese made $1.2 million in two movies?! Now he wants more? My daughter's bedroom is still covered with his posters. What does this kind of 'idol' teach children? Greed? #NuoChen#Greedy Oriental Vampire#"

And below this comment, there are all people who are similar and sarcastic.

"Damn it, I knew it! Otherwise, why would he bet 200 million with Harvey Weinstein!"

"1.2 million. The IRS should investigate this guy."

"Is Summit Entertainment crazy? He was a nobody at that time, why did they give him so much?"

"Can you please release the details of the contract? I really want to know what's going on."

"He gets paid more than Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt LOL."

At some point, a head appeared next to his face, staring at the screen like him.

As a result, before Qi Yuntian called, Liu Yifei started to yell, "These people are so hateful. You didn't steal or rob, so what does your income have to do with them? What right do they have to say that to you?"

Chen Nuo closed his laptop and said, "Yeah, what does it have to do with them?"

Liu Yifei's face wrinkled up, and she said worriedly, "Then what are you going to do?"

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Liu Yifei frowned and said, "This must have been done by Summit Entertainment. I think we must not let them succeed. They are too mean. Um... do you want to explain? Actually, you didn't know you could make so much money at the time, right?"

Chen Nuo looked at Liu Yifei and asked, "Do you think the explanation is useful?"

Liu Yifei tilted her head slightly to the right, a few strands of hair slipped from her shoulders, she subconsciously tucked them behind her ears with her hands, leaned forward slightly, her eyes were full of seriousness, her voice unconsciously raised a little, and she said anxiously: "Why is it useless? They all thought that Summit Entertainment gave you so much money. They don't know that you made so much money because the movie sold well at the box office. This is your ability, isn't it?"

Chen Nuo laughed and said, "That makes sense. It really makes sense."

Under the lights, Liu Yifei was startled when she saw Chen Nuo laughing, then she pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "Oh, I'm not kidding you, don't laugh! You can actually laugh, if I were you, I would be so anxious... Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? At this time, you still want to... um, woo woo woo."

Soon, the whole room was filled with a rhythmic sound.

Like tiny waves hitting the beach, one wave after another,
It seemed as if at some point, a playful cat quietly came in, and was having fun on the big bed, babbling, and squeezing out from its throat some notes that sounded like natural sounds but also with sobs. The sound was sometimes low, sometimes gentle, like crying and complaining.

At this moment, Chen Nuo's cell phone on the table began to vibrate again.

Qi Yuntian’s number was displayed on the screen.

The name was jumping, looking so anxious.

But, the timing of his call was so unfortunate.

Just then there was a sudden sound like a violent storm, and then the cat's cry suddenly became much louder, completely drowning out the sound of the phone.

There is no doubt that at this juncture, Liu Yifei was very anxious, and Qi Yuntian was also very anxious.

However, Chen Nuo was not in a hurry at all.

He didn't treat Xixi lightly, and what Liu Yifei said just now was absolutely correct.

These vague news reports conceal some key information and are full of rhythmic flavor.

Clarifying the gambling contract he signed should be able to change the views of some people.

but………………

Who is Chen Nuo?
If social media with huge traffic like Twitter, Weibo, FB, and even Instagram in the future will grow into towering trees, everyone in human society will be a leaf on these trees.

He is the person who has witnessed the entire process of these big trees growing from small to luxuriant and then to their peak and decline.

In the 2010s, his qualifications were unique.

Chen Nuo himself had forgotten how many times he had seen the storms on Weibo and Twitter.

But as a former internet celebrity, it is common for him to be slandered and defamed by others, and even have his true identity as a scumbag exposed.

In this day and age, his rich experience is enough to even allow him to write a textbook on online public relations and sell it for money.

It is no exaggeration to say that he has at least 113 ways to deal with these things.

However, before he could come up with these solutions, he needed to do one thing first.

That is--

and so on.

Because social media has always been a madhouse. The more hysterically you wave your medical records to prove your innocence, the more you will be labeled as "seriously ill."

Explaining contracts and pay now is like pouring gasoline on the fire.

People who do this don't understand that on social media, no one cares what the truth is.

Every so-called hot spot is a hunger games.

Countless bored people are waiting to fill their stomachs with this. If you don't let them eat their fill and try to clarify this and that, it's like snatching a bone from a dog's mouth. It will bite you to death.

Therefore, waiting is the first priority.

The key is that he just does it while waiting, and he is very happy. Why should he be anxious?

Moreover.

People who are in a hurry to overturn the table often forget that they also have a share of the food on the table, don’t they?
