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

Chapter 353: What Cannot Be Expressed (Monthly Tickets Plus)
On June 6, the premiere of "Ocean Heaven" at the BJ Star Media Center was bustling with activity.

Stars twinkled on the red carpet, spotlights flashed one after another, and the air seemed to be filled with the warm atmosphere of the event.

Lead actor Li Lianjie appeared with his "godson" emblem, Gui Lunmei wore a simple long dress, fresh and refined. In addition, big stars such as Zhang Ziyi, Ma Yili, and Shi Xiaolong also showed up to support.

Among this star-studded lineup, Gao Yuanyuan, who made a cameo appearance as the mother of the young protagonist in the film, also appeared on the red carpet.

Although Gao Yuanyuan's outfit today was not gorgeous, the white dress perfectly set off her gentle and beautiful temperament. Her long black hair was draped softly over her shoulders, slightly shining, exuding the unique charm of a woman in her early thirties, with both youthful agility and a bit of mature calmness.

When she walked on the red carpet, she indeed attracted a lot of attention from the spotlight.

But unfortunately, this attention did not last long.

Just over ten seconds later, there was a commotion behind her, and then all the cameras in front of her turned in almost the same direction.

Gao Yuanyuan subconsciously looked back.

The gorgeous international star Zhang Ziyi was seen walking slowly on the red carpet. She was wearing a DIOR high-end rhinestone black dress, which sparkled under the lights. She instantly attracted everyone's attention. The spotlights on one side of the red carpet kept flashing, and the cheers of the surrounding fans also rang out.

The cheers of the fans and the brightness of the spotlights were all on a different level than what she had just seen.

Gao Yuanyuan stood there. Even though she was not a competitive person, she felt extremely embarrassed for a moment.

She quickly turned around and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.

After entering the theater, the situation did not improve, but became even more embarrassing.

During the interview session before the movie, the host asked many questions enthusiastically, but none of them were for her.

"Teacher Li Lianjie, what are your special feelings about this cooperation?"

"I really like the atmosphere of this crew, especially Emblem, who is a very, very good actor. I think he will let everyone know his name in the future."

The host smiled and said, "Mr. Heraldry, do you have anything to say after hearing Mr. Li Lianjie's comments?"

The emblem smiled and said, "Thank you very much for the compliment. I will work hard."

The host continued, "I heard that you have already accepted Mr. Li Lianjie as your godfather, right?"

"Yes, I am very happy that my godfather is willing to accept me."

"So how do you feel walking the red carpet with your godfather today?"

The emblem smiled and said, "Of course I am happy. I am honored and very grateful for my godfather's kindness to me..."

"Mr. Li Lianjie, what about you? How do you feel?"

Afterwards, under the host's turns of questioning, the father and son showed their deep father-son relationship. They first praised each other, and then talked about interesting things during the filming, which caused continuous laughter at the scene.

The director and the leading actress Gui Lunmei were also mentioned to share their experiences during the filming. Even Zhang Ziyi, who did not participate in the film, was asked, "What are your expectations for this film?"

International star Zhang actually stood up, holding the microphone and chatting and laughing, showing her international style and drawing applause from the audience.

And what about her?
As an actress who actually played a role in the film, she was only mentioned perfunctorily by the host at the beginning: "Ms. Gao Yuanyuan also made a guest appearance in the film, everyone welcomes her!"

The topic then quickly turned back to Li Lianjie, and all she received was sparse applause, without even a single serious question.

This is undoubtedly a humiliation.

However, no matter how upset Gao Yuanyuan felt, the smile on her face remained.

However, Gui Lunmei next to her still noticed something was wrong and asked her quietly, "What's wrong?"

Gao Yuanyuan smiled at her and whispered, "It's okay."

It's weird if nothing happens.

Gui Lunmei joined the crew late and didn't know the cause and effect. But she knew exactly where the problem was.

Last year at Cannes, she said a few words that did not align with Li Lianjie and Hui Sui, which probably upset the international superstar.

Later, Li Lianjie joined Tencent Weibo with a signing fee of over tens of millions, and openly competed with a big V from Sina. The two sides were fighting for their own masters.

The key point is that Mr. Li, as a senior and a Chinese martial arts star in Hollywood at that time, actually fell into a disadvantage.

In this way, he might dislike her even more because of her hatred for everyone in his family.

As the absolute core of the show, Li Lianjie didn't need to say a word. She just asked the people from the foundation to give a few suggestions to the event company, and the red carpet order and host arrangements naturally "took care" of her.

Gao Yuanyuan and her agent had already guessed that they might be subjected to some tactics, but they did not expect it to be so thorough.

She sighed in her heart, regretting that she had listened to the company's advice and came here to get attention for herself who hadn't been seen for a long time. If she had known earlier, she would have stayed at home with her mother.

The film began, and she sat on pins and needles for more than 100 minutes.

What's worse, Li Lianjie was sitting next to her. She always felt that he was glancing at her from the corner of his eyes, making her feel uncomfortable.

Finally, she couldn't help but go to the rest room and changed into a simple T-shirt and jeans. Anyway, no one was taking pictures of her, so who would she show off her beautiful clothes to?

When the movie ended, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

The main creators came on stage to take their bows. Gao Yuanyuan stood on the edge, waved politely, and then let go.

She thought that even if the mainstream media didn't make a big fuss about it tomorrow, those entertainment gossip bloggers on Weibo probably wouldn't let her go. The key was that the scene on the red carpet must have been seen by many people, and there would be no shortage of ridicule and sarcasm.

At this time, Li Lianjie's voice came from the side: "...I am very satisfied with this movie. I think it is the best movie I have ever made in my life. I hope everyone will support it. I also hope that the theater manager will schedule more screenings. Otherwise, be careful and I will complain to your wife and son, haha!"

The audience burst into laughter.

Gao Yuanyuan got goose bumps all over her body.

Li Lianjie's public image is that of a philanthropist. He only received 1 yuan for this film and also set up a foundation to focus on autism. But he treated her like this in private, just because of a small matter?
Is he good or evil? Which side is true?

Gao Yuanyuan couldn't figure it out, and she didn't plan to think about it anymore. Anyway, with her status, it was estimated that she would never be able to work with others again in her lifetime.

Now, she only hopes that the audience will ask fewer questions and let her leave this nightmare place as soon as possible.

The host first picked an audience member to ask a question.

The audience naturally asked questions to Mr. Li.

After Li Lianjie answered,
The host immediately laughed out loud, clapped his hands and said, "Teacher Li Lianjie is really humorous. Let's applaud. Thank you Teacher Li for sharing his filming experience!"

Gao Yuanyuan tilted her head and saw Jet Li with a smile on his face, obviously ready to receive the audience's enthusiastic cheers.

Even though what he said just now sounded awkward, corny and boring to Gao Yuanyuan.

But it's not surprising.

Who made him Jet Li?

With the halo of an international superstar, how many stars in China can compare with him?
Throughout the evening, whatever was said, of course the audience bought it.

But this time, the expected thunderous applause did not come. Instead, there was a sparse clapping sound, like the wind blowing through the leaves, scattered and perfunctory.

The audience member who asked the question was standing in the back middle, approximately in the middle of the fifth row from the bottom.

At this moment, something suddenly changed in the theater.

At first, when he stood up, the people in the one or two rows in front of him looked back, but then they seemed to be attracted by something and never turned their heads back.

Then, with a little bit of noisy discussions and exclamations, the audience in the third row and a little further away could no longer sit still.

One after another they stood up and craned their necks to look in that direction.

The rustling noises gradually grew louder, the entire theater began to buzz, and the discussions became more and more frequent, pouring from the back row to the stage like a tide.

"impossible?"

"But really, it seems to be him."

"Look, the guy wearing a mask is sitting next to that guy."

"Damn, they really look alike!"

"Who are you talking about?"

"Chen Nuo, they said that person looks like Chen Nuo."

"Who? Chen Nuo?"

"Chen Nuo?"

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, Chen Nuo!?"

The sounds rose and fell, from whispers to a loud noise.

Gao Yuanyuan stood on the stage, stunned for a moment, and then looked in the direction of the audience.

Jet Li's smile froze on his face.

The host was caught off guard, his mouth opened wide, he stood there holding the microphone, and looked over there with everyone in the theater. A figure wearing a mask and a baseball cap was sitting on a chair, with his head down, but when most of the theater was shouting, he finally stood up slowly.

He did not stand up completely straight, but instead bent his waist slightly, hunched over, and waved to the audience in the theater with a slightly helpless attitude.

The action seemed casual, but it was like pulling out the fuse of a bomb and throwing it straight into the crowd.

In an instant, the entire theater with a capacity of a thousand people was in an uproar.

"Chen Nuo!!"

"It's really Chen Nuo!"

"Oh my god, it's really him!"

"Why is he there?"

"Fuck! Nono!!"

“Oh my god, Nonoa ...

Shouts came one after another, screams and exclamations mixed together, shaking the air in the theater.

For a moment, even if they were holding a Nokia N97, the audience raised it without hesitation and took photos of the figure. Flashes went off one after another, and although the photos taken on the small screen were mostly blurry, everyone kept pressing on.

Some people even stood directly on the chairs, tiptoed and stretched their arms, just to get one more look or grab one more photo.

On the stage, Jet Li's smile froze completely. Zhang Ziyi, Ma Yili, Shi Xiaolong and others in the front row obviously did not expect this sudden change, and all turned their heads to look at the back row, their eyes full of surprise and curiosity.

The entire theater seemed to have pressed the fast-forward button. The noise and screams blended into one, and all the focus was on the figure who slowly stood up.

In Gao Yuanyuan's eyes, the world seemed to dim in an instant and turned black and white.

The flashing of the spotlights, the cheers of the audience, and the noise on the stage all blurred into a silent background.

There was only one spot, full of light, like the only color in the black and white picture. It was the familiar face under the peaked cap.

He had pulled the mask down to his chin, with a helpless smile on his face.

At this moment, his appearance was blindingly clear in her eyes.

However, the next second, everything in front of Gao Yuanyuan became blurry again.

She didn't want to cry when she was overshadowed by Zhang Ziyi on the red carpet and her several hours of careful preparation went to waste.

Standing on the stage, being ignored by the host and not even getting a serious question from him, she didn't want to cry.

Even when she was sitting on pins and needles for more than 100 minutes in the theater and felt Jet Li's vague gaze, she just gritted her teeth and told herself that it would pass if she just endured it.

But now, looking at Chen Nuo standing there, her heart seemed to be gently hit by something, and her defense line collapsed instantly.

She lowered her head and blinked, trying to hold back her tears, but she couldn't hide the moisture in her eyes.

The audience was still shouting "Chen Nuo! Chen Nuo!" in a somewhat fanatical manner. The flash lights of mobile phones were flashing everywhere, but she seemed to be isolated in another world, with only the sound of her own heartbeat in her ears.

"It seems that the biggest surprise of the night has appeared! Let us welcome with applause - Chen Nuo!!!" On the stage, the host finally came back to his senses from the shock and shouted at the top of his voice.

His voice was drowned out by the crazy applause that followed. The theater was like a powder keg that had been lit. The screams and cheers mixed together, making people's eardrums numb.

The on-site staff hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and quickly handed a microphone to Chen Nuo in the back row.

Seeing this, the host quickly responded: "Everyone be quiet for a moment and let Chen Nuo say a few words to us, okay?"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if a magic switch was pressed, and the entire theater went from boiling noise to complete silence in just three seconds.

All eyes were focused on that figure.

Gao Yuanyuan stood on the stage and blinked. Her long eyelashes were covered with tears and stuck together, making everything in front of her eyes covered with a layer of mist.

But she still tried to open her eyes wide and kept her gaze fixed on the man.

She wanted to hear what he had to say, and more importantly, she wanted to know why he was here.

Chen Nuo knew at this time that the first goal of the original plan could not be achieved. Who knew that it would be such a coincidence that he had hidden it well, but by mistake, the people around him became the lucky audience.

If you can’t hide it anymore, then you can only go for Plan B.

He took the microphone, without taking off his hat or mask, and just hung the mask on his chin. He said in a casual tone: "Well, hello everyone, I am Chen Nuo."

Well, this time, no matter what the host said, there was no way to calm the scene down again.

After more than ten seconds, when the applause and screams finally died down, the host asked, "Hello, Teacher Chen Nuo! Every audience member, including me, is so surprised to see you. How did you think of coming here to watch our Ocean Paradise today?"

"Well, I came to see a friend."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gao Yuanyuan noticed the figure in the distance looking towards the stage.

I don't know how other people see it.
But Gao Yuanyuan could feel that those eyes were staring directly at her through the crowd.

Her heart trembled, and the tears in her eyes could no longer be held back and slid down her cheeks.

Fortunately, no one noticed her at this time. Gao Yuanyuan quickly turned around and wiped away her tears with her fingers.

The host replied with a smile on his face: "Friend? Let me guess, oh, is it Mr. Li Lianjie?"

Li Lianjie glanced at the host calmly.

His godson Wen Zhang, who was beside him, noticed Mr. Li's gaze, and quickly lowered his head, pretending not to see it, and said nothing.

Although Chen Nuo could go along with the conversation and be polite at this time, he didn't want to do so after watching the show from the audience all night.

He chuckled and said, "No, I don't know Teacher Li Lianjie. My friend, haha, is the one you didn't let speak all night."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was stunned at first, and then broke into a louder noise, and discussions instantly filled every corner.

No matter how experienced the host on the stage was, his facial expression froze and he didn't know how to respond for a moment with the microphone in his hand.

Gao Yuanyuan stood there, her whole body seemed to be frozen.

She met Chen Nuo's gaze, her heart beating so fast that it almost burst out of her chest, and it seemed as if a warm current was flowing through her body, making her whole body tremble slightly.

Some people in the audience have already reacted, and whispers are heard one after another:

"He's talking about Gao Yuanyuan, right?"

"Yeah, no one asked her any questions all night!"

"Really? She's like invisible tonight!"

The host was stunned for a few seconds, and finally came to his senses. He laughed dryly and said, "Haha, Teacher Chen Nuo, you are really good at joking! Then... let's ask Miss Gao Yuanyuan to say a few words, okay?"

He turned to look at Gao Yuanyuan, completely different from his previous attitude of ignoring her. There was a hint of obvious flattery in his tone, but the change was too sudden and the awkwardness and embarrassment on his face could not be hidden.

But Gao Yuanyuan had no intention of arguing with him at all.

She took a deep breath, calmed down her emotions, took the microphone, and said softly, "Thank you everyone, and thank you to my good friend Chen Nuo."

She paused, looked up at Chen Nuo and said, "I didn't expect you to come. It's really unexpected. Thank you."

After she finished speaking, there was an immediate round of applause from the audience, with someone even shouting, "Gao Yuanyuan, you are the most beautiful tonight!"

Chen Nuo felt that it was about time, and without caring that everyone was still looking at him, as if waiting for him to say something, he sat down.

The host quickly followed up, "Great! It seems that tonight is not only the premiere of our Ocean Paradise movie, but also allows us to see a true friendship. Let us thank Chen Nuo and Gao Yuanyuan again!"

At this moment, there was no doubt that even though Gao Yuanyuan was still standing at the edge of the stage, her position had become the focus of the audience. The rest of the people on the stage became her supporting roles.

International superstar Mr. Li Lianjie, no matter what he was thinking, as an actor, it was okay for him to force a smile and applaud at this time.

The emblem next to him was not good. He had been proud of his godfather all night, but now the smile on his lips looked like it was carved and looked a little fake.

Zhang Ziyi in the audience looked at Li Lianjie, chuckled, and whispered something to Ma Yili next to her.

Gao Yuanyuan stood on the stage, her hand holding the microphone slowly relaxed, and the smile that she had forced at the corners of her mouth slowly turned into a natural and gentle expression.

At this moment, all the grievances and embarrassment she had suffered tonight seemed to be wiped out.

She raised her head and looked at him from a distance.

Thousands of words gathered in my heart, leaving only one sentence.

But she may never be able to say this.

Ps:

remind,
