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

Chapter 389 Tonight Will Be a Legend (A massive 10,000-word update; the author is exhausted)

Just as Chen Nuo predicted,
In the first row of the Kodak Theater, in the brightest spot under the stage lights, and with a little distance to take a picture of the current state-of-the-art camera on Huawei's crappy phones, the results were still passable.

At least, apart from Robert Downey Jr. and David Fincher, the director of "The Social Network," being squeezed into a corner with only half their faces showing, the faces of the nine people in the middle of the photo are basically visible.

The Huawei U8800's camera even captured the entire smiling face of that blond, handsome older man.

Chen Nuo was not surprised at all that this person would squeeze in to join in the fun.

but……

It's really weird that he's in there, isn't it?
Once backstage, he handed his phone to Allison, a PR expert, and asked her to select a suitable photo from several pictures and post it to his accounts on several major social media platforms.

Then he stopped caring.

Can it really break the record?

he does not know.

But he couldn't worry about that now; for him, that was the end of it. The awards ceremony was only just beginning, and he had a lot more to do.

……

……

Chen Nuo can choose to give up.

It's because he only received $10 in hosting fees for the Oscars, and no matter what he did, no one would criticize him.

But Brian Cragg, as president of Samsung North America, earns over $1000 million a year. That money, even if it doesn't amount to murder or arson, could at least allow him to abandon his wife and children.

His young wife had been deeply hurt by him for the second time, and she ran upstairs crying.

But Krag didn't pay any attention to it.

He stared blankly at the Facebook account he was following.

Just 5 minutes ago, this account posted its fourth update of the night.

A photograph and a sentence.

The caption was simple: "This is a photo of me and my friends at the Oscars. Let's share it and break the record!"

Five minutes later, the number of reposts has exceeded 50.

5 minutes, 50 million!
motherfucker, Brian Cragg knows that their Samsung account has never had a single post retweeted more than 5000 times!

50 million!
Brian Cragg even suspected that Facebook was manipulating the data behind the scenes!

However, when he opened the comments section and quickly scrolled through them, the completely different comments all seemed to indicate that it really was true.

"OMG! This photo is outrageous!"

"I swear, this photo will go viral all over the world!"

"Leo's photography skills are really bad, Donnie is even squeezed into the corner, hahaha!"

"I shared it! Let's break the record together!"

"Tonight's Oscars were simply incredible, Chen, you've brought about a revolution."

"I apologize for my initial prejudice against you. Can you tell me you really ordered pizza?"

"Share this, share this, break the record!"

"Chen's 3000 million fans, let's take action together!"

It's clear that there are Chen Nuo's original fans among them, as well as passersby who were attracted by the previous selfies. In just 5 minutes, more than 10 comments have been accumulated!

Let me repeat myself: 50 reposts, 10 comments, and over 40 likes in five minutes—has any social networking site in history ever seen anything like this?

How far is it from breaking the record for the most reposts in history?

The answer came out quickly:
15 minutes.

Within 15 minutes, Chen Nuo's photo was shared 120 million times on Facebook.

It broke the record of 102 million shares set by Lady Gaga and Beyoncé's "Telephone" music video in 2010.

ABC, NBC, CNN, CBS, BBC... all these European and American media outlets, whether public television stations or entertainment news websites, have gone crazy!
"Chen Nuo's Oscar-themed group photo has swept the internet, with over 120 million reposts on Facebook within 15 minutes!"

"A new social media record has been set! Leonardo DiCaprio's photo of Chen Nuo with other celebrities has sparked a global frenzy!"

"An unprecedented number of reposts! The 2011 Oscars sparked a social media frenzy!"

"Photographed by Leonardo DiCaprio, Chen Nuo's photos with Hollywood stars create an astonishing miracle!"

"This is the fastest-spreading image in the world in history, with millions of people sharing it in just 15 minutes!"

This news is also good news for Bryan Cragg, considering that Samsung is the biggest sponsor of this year's Oscars.

But what made him feel like he'd eaten shit was that, below these news reports, people started talking about something else.

"What model of phone does Chen have? Why haven't I seen it before?"

"I don't have one either, but I'm sure it's not an iPhone or a Samsung."

"Does anyone know?"

One, two, three, four...

When Brian Cragg saw more and more people starting to wonder where the white phone came from, someone finally revealed the answer in the comments section with just two words: "China, Huawei".

At this point, Brian knew he was really in trouble.

At the next meeting, he will certainly be forced to answer this question:
Why did the head office invest so heavily in this year's Oscars, just because Chen Nuo was hosting them? And then, this crucial moment was thwarted by you, you little bastard?
Just thinking about the sarcastic and cynical remarks from those Koreans made Brian Cragg want to go upstairs and give his Korean wife a good beating.

However, elsewhere in California, Mark Zuckerberg, also a married man, happily embraced his Chinese-American wife after hanging up the phone, and started a waltz with the accompaniment of the Oscar nominees for Best Sound and Best Mixing playing on the television.

"Oh, Mark, why are you so happy? Who gave you the call?"

"The company's... honey, you know what? Our website traffic is absolutely insane tonight!"

"Oh? How crazy is it?"

“We almost lost our servers! Our platform’s active users increased by 45% tonight.” Zuckerberg smiled.

So many!?

"Yes, yes, tsk tsk, I love Oscar."

Priscilla blinked. "Mark, in this way, you won't have to feel so bad about those shares."

Zuckerberg's smug expression slowly faded, and he said calmly, "Let's see if he can come up with that much money in the end, because as far as I know, his movie's release has been delayed."

……

……

The lengthy Oscars ceremony was already in its second half, and it was 8:40 p.m.

In Missouri, Susan, a young girl who had just participated in a Facebook retweet, was excitedly jumping around on the sofa with her phone in hand, humming a broken, self-composed tune: "Break the record, break the record, we broke the record~"

Her mother, annoyed by the jolting, threatened, "STOP, Susan. If you keep doing this, I'm turning off the TV."

"No, Mom! I want to keep watching!"

"Then stop!"
"OK, OK!" Susan obediently sat back on the sofa, watching the commercials on TV, and asked, "Mom, do you think Chen really knows how to order pizza?" Susan was still thinking about the joke Chen Nuo had told half an hour ago.

Her mother laughed: "Haha, do you think that's possible? Do you really think Oprah would eat pizza on TV? What are you thinking!"

"Okay, I just thought, what if?"

It's not just Susan and her mother; in fact, thousands of American families are having similar discussions right now.

Meanwhile, in the control room of the Kodak Theatre, David Hill, the chief director of this year's Oscars, had sweaty palms again.

He pressed the button on his walkie-talkie and asked, "Mike, have the pizza guys arrived yet?"

With a hissing sound of electricity, the response came quickly: "He's here, David, he just arrived."

"Who is it?"

"It was a young man with red hair, and he looked terrified."

“Shit!” David Hill cursed, then asked, “Where’s Chen?”

"He was talking to that poor but lucky delivery guy."

"Oh? He did it himself?"

"Yes, it was originally mine, but Chen thought it would be better for him to communicate with them, since the two of them will be going on stage together later."

"How are their communications going now?"

"It seems there's no problem; Chen's English is very good."

"Motherfucker, is that what I'm asking you?"

"Haha, just kidding, David. Don't be so nervous. I think it will go smoothly. Relax."

"hope so."

David Hill put down the walkie-talkie.

Donna Gigliotti, who was standing next to him, chuckled and said, "Relax, David. Didn't you vote in favor of Chen when he advocated for the truth?"

David Hill gave a wry smile and said, "Because it really sounds great, real takeout, real people, real reactions, everything is real. As the director, it's hard for me not to approve of such an idea."

Donna said, "In that case, you should trust him. Don't be so nervous."

"I do trust you, but... please, Donna, you were just as surprised as I was a minute ago!! Our viewership has now reached 4510 million! 4510 million, only 4650 million away from 140 million in 2000, we could very well make history. How could I not be nervous at a time like this? Who would have thought, Donna, did you even imagine this before the broadcast?"

Donna shook her head and said, "If you had said that during the broadcast, I would have thought you were under Chen's Eastern witchcraft. But now... I can only say, may God bless Facebook, bless Twitter, and bless Weibo in China."

“Haha, yes, that’s right,” David Hill laughed, but then his expression turned serious again. “140 million, breaking the record is just around the corner. Now I just hope that lucky delivery guy can calm down.”

Donna nodded and said, "Yes, lucky delivery guy. I believe this must be the most amazing delivery he's ever made. I'd like to see his expression right now."

……

What catches your eyes?

William Gan thought he looked like a dead man.

He's just a 21-year-old guy from Wisconsin who came to LA to work only because of his girlfriend.

He even broke up with his girlfriend not long ago!
Why are you nervous?

Can we blame him?
He was working a job that paid $8 an hour, but now he's about to step onto the main stage of the Oscars.
Who would have thought of this?

Just half an hour ago, he was merely a pizza delivery guy who had just emerged from the shadow of a breakup and had spent the entire night delivering takeout.

As a result, after delivering an order and returning to the store, the grumbling store manager pointed to five boxes of pizza and told him to deliver them to the Kodak Theater.

Their shop is very close to the Kodak Theatre, and the food is good, so business is always booming. On this Saturday night, the entire staff was so busy that they didn't have time to watch TV or check their phones.

Moreover, the Kodak Theatre was no stranger to him; staff there often ordered their pizzas.

So at that time, William Gan simply thought that perhaps the security personnel at the Kodak Theatre were hungry and ordered pizza from their restaurant. As for why they ordered so much, it was obviously because of the Oscars.

Of course, during his subsequent delivery drive, William Gan did consider that the awards ceremony might be in progress at that time...

Perhaps, just perhaps.

He might even get to meet one or two celebrities.
William Gan had seen the news before and was imagining the big stars at the ceremony.

If he had to choose...

"Leonardo DiCaprio," "Tom Hanks," or "Oprah Winfrey"—any of them would be enough for him to brag about to the other employees for a long time.

Oh, and "Chen" is nice too; Emily likes him. I reckon if I embellish his story with a little fluff, she'll agree to go on a date with me.

Of course, if he had the chance to see Angelina Jolie, who has been his object of lust since he was 16, that would truly be the luckiest moment of his life.

Who could have imagined it? Who could have imagined it?

After he arrived at the Kodak Theatre and underwent a thorough body search and security check, he somehow ended up here carrying five pizzas from their restaurant!

"Hey William, what are you thinking about right now?"

"Chen, I'm wondering if I'm dreaming right now."

"Haha, you can think of it that way. As long as you haven't forgotten how to cut a pizza, it's fine."

William Gan glanced at the black-haired Chinese man next to him.

He swore that this was the most handsome, kindest, and most humorous person he had ever met in his life.

No wonder Emily is so infatuated with him.

William knew that the other person was joking to make him feel a little more relaxed.

He wanted to too.

However, the thought that just three meters past the small shadow in front of him was the center of attention for billions of people around the world was daunting.

William Gan could only lick his dry lips, unable to utter a single word.

……

Although he was comforting William Gan, Chen Nuo was actually a little nervous at that moment.

After all, the following procedures were not rehearsed.

Nobody knows if something unexpected will happen.

However, as the director counted down in his earpiece, an incredibly familiar feeling gradually calmed his racing heart.

"3, 2, 1."

"Action!"

……

In China, Huawei wasn't the only company broadcasting the Oscars live from its conference room.

Similarly, another private company also received a circumvention license on the same day.

In the newly renovated conference room sat several new employees who had just signed contracts with the company.

Yang Zi wasn't actually too bothered by the company organizing them to come together early in the morning to watch the Oscars.

Because she believes that at least half of the dormitories at Beijing Film Academy are currently watching the live broadcast on their computers.

Or even the whole of China?
Just look at Sina Weibo now.

It's been a minute already.

Sina Weibo has been stuck in an error 403 state.

Yes, in just over 10 minutes, the number of reposts on Weibo reached over 90. Who has ever seen that before?

Not only them, but probably even the back-end staff of Sina Weibo didn't expect this.

It directly multiplied the original record of over one million views in three hours set by the original owner during last year's Spring Festival Gala by several times, reaching a level that left everyone speechless and unattainable. This finally caused Sina Weibo's servers to become overwhelmed and crash completely.

So even though she arrived at the company at 6 a.m. to watch the live stream and was indeed a bit sleep-deprived, Yang Zi wasn't unhappy.

What bothered her was why the man surnamed Xiao was sitting next to her.

"Coming, coming, coming!"

When the image began to appear on the projection screen on the wall, the man surnamed Xiao couldn't help but shout again.

He has been in this state for the past hour or so.

Exactly the same as that day, it's insane!
However, the sound coming from the speakers quickly caught Yang Zi's attention.

He remained as relaxed and cheerful as ever, without a trace of tension in his voice.

Unfortunately, it was all in English, so she could only guess at it.

She wasn't sure if she had misheard, but she heard a man talking.

"Don't rush... I'll get this for you... It's okay, you take that... I'll take this."

What do you mean?
What should I take?
However, the next second, she suddenly opened her mouth wide.

……

"Hahahahahaha!"

At the Oscars.

At this moment, laughter and applause erupted.

Because Chen Nuo was carrying a stack of paper plates and plastic cutlery, leading a delivery guy in work clothes out from behind the scenes.

Amidst the astonished yet amused gazes of the audience and people across America and the world, Chen Nuo laughed and said, "Hello everyone, your pizzas have arrived! William, come on, say hello to everyone."

William Gan's mind went blank. All he could see were familiar yet unfamiliar faces. He felt his mouth moving, and with great difficulty, he managed to utter a single word: "halo."

“I’m sorry, William, I lied to you. We’re not going backstage,” Chen Nuo said.

The whole room erupted in laughter.

"Alright, William, come with me."

Chen Nuo led William Gan off the stage and into the aisle, asking, "I ordered four large pizzas, including a country-style pizza with tomato sauce and one with cheese. Who wants some? Raise your hand."

The most crucial moment arrived, and David Hill clenched his fists.

His biggest fear was that no one would respond at this moment. Just like Laura said in the previous meeting, "What big star would eat pizza at the Oscars!?"

And what was Chen's answer back then?

The next moment, David Hill saw many hands raised in unison.

Among them are Jennifer Lawrence, Natalie Portman, Harrison Ford, Martin Scorsese, and many more, not just those who previously mentioned wanting to eat.

He suddenly remembered Chen Nuo's answer.

He said, "That's because there's no pizza at the Oscars." "I actually told Laura that only stars understand stars." Donna, who was standing next to him, seemed to be thinking the same thing, looking at the screen on the monitor and muttering, "They look like they're starving."

That's right, in front of a global audience, Chen Nuo started cutting pizzas with the delivery guy.

“Come on, James Franco, help me out. I’ve never done anything like cutting pizza before. You know, Chinese people don’t eat pizza.”

"Hahahaha." The whole audience burst into laughter.

“Jennifer, here’s a piece. What, you want a whole piece?… OK, here you go. Give them all some.”

"Brad, give Angie a piece. I know she's hungry; she gets hungry very easily. By the way, could you please get them some plates for me? Thanks."

"Come on, Leo, aren't you hungry? Are you sure? Okay, I know you're not hungry just by looking at your stomach."

"William, do you have any favorite Hollywood stars? They're all here now. Want me to get you an autograph or something? Who do you like? What about Angelina Jolie? I know her quite well, I can get you one. Do you know her?"

"Don't want to? Are you sure? Okay... By the way, who has money? Here, how about giving William a tip?"

Amidst bursts of laughter, Chen Nuo looked around and said, "Scarlett, do you have any? You're so rich. Give William a little tip. He's been running around a lot today."

"Hahahahahaha." The whole audience burst into laughter.

Scarlett Johansson was furious; she was certain Chen Nuo had done it on purpose!

Damn Ryan Reynolds, damn Chen Nuo!

She cursed inwardly, but facing the camera, she could only manage a wry smile and spread her hands innocently, "Chen, I didn't bring any money."

"Well, it seems you didn't get much from your divorce!"

Seeing Scarlett Johansson's embarrassed expression, the laughter in the audience grew even louder, and viewers in front of their televisions also burst into laughter.

Back in his New York apartment, Ryan Reynolds laughed and raised his beer, saying, "Chen, my friend, I love you to death! Cheers!"

Chen Nuo did it on purpose.

Normally, Scarlett Johansson, a famously wealthy woman, probably wouldn't care about tips of thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. But now, who the hell would wear a low-cut evening gown to the Oscars and still bring a wallet?

Does that Armani Privé silver dress have a half-pocket?
Are you suggesting I take money from her cleavage?!

He knew this, but he just wanted to make Scarlett look foolish.

reason?

Very simple.

When his $1.2 million salary was exposed and he was heavily criticized on Twitter across the United States, there wasn't much of a voice in Hollywood. Only two people publicly stood up to say he was wrong.

Scarlett Johansson is one of the two.

Anyone who thinks he has forgotten this is sorely mistaken!

He does have a bad memory, but strangely enough, he never forgets those who have offended him, even after 20 years.

Therefore, he designed this part himself and even allowed plenty of time for it!
Scarlett wasn't the focus in this segment, since she was only mentioned briefly during the interview.

The person who gave a scathing interview to Variety and criticized his pay was someone else entirely.

He said incredulously, "Scarlett doesn't have any money, what are we going to do... Oh, I know!"

He slapped his forehead and shouted, "Harvey, where is Harvey Weinstein?"

"hahahahahahahahahahaha!"

This time, the laughter nearly lifted the roof off the Kodak Theatre.

Everyone was laughing, even William Gan!

Because each of them knew that this was going to be a good show.

"OK, found you. You actually sat there and went to Harvey."

"Leo, send me some pizzas. I'm going to find Harvey Weinstein to ask William for a tip."

"Hahahahahaha!"

Another burst of laughter.

At that moment, countless people from China to the United States were laughing heartily.

It's safe to say the whole world was bursting with joy, except for Harvey Weinstein, who probably couldn't laugh.

But with the camera right in his face, he had no choice but to smile, and seeing his expression, the laughter from the audience grew even louder!
"Harvey! What are you doing hiding here?" Chen Nuo walked over to the back rows. "This isn't like you."

"Ahahahahahahaha!"

"You only lost two million to me. You, you didn't come here because you heard I was asking for a tip, did you?"

Chen Nuo had absolutely gone too far. Seeing Harvey Weinstein's chubby face turn a deep purplish-red, Chen Nuo felt as refreshed as if he had just drunk a glass of ice water on a sweltering summer day.

He wasn't the only one; quite a few people in the audience burst into laughter at that moment.

The atmosphere was incredibly enthusiastic.

"The King's Speech" is unstoppable tonight, having already won several technical awards. It's also a strong contender for Best Actor and Best Picture. Who can be happy about this?
Seeing Chen Nuo come to find Harvey at this time is absolutely gratifying!

Even a big shot like Steven Spielberg, who rarely gets involved in worldly affairs, couldn't help but squint his eyes behind his round glasses.

"What?! You only have $20 to give me?!"

Chen Nuo walked up to Harvey and saw the money Harvey was holding out. He deliberately didn't take it, leaving Harvey's hand and the crumpled banknote standing there.

"Seriously, Harvey? Aren't you always so generous with Oscars? $20?"

At this moment, everyone burst into laughter!

But Harvey Weinstein was practically bursting with rage at that moment.

His brother Bob Weinstein, who was sitting next to him, handed him $100 and whispered, "Harvey, give this to him!"

Chen Nuo, with his sharp eyes, spotted it immediately and exclaimed with a smile, "Wow, what did I just see? Bob is lending money to Harvey. It seems Harvey really is out of money."

The whole crowd laughed.

Awesome! So awesome!

Christian Bale, who had previously lost the Best Supporting Actor award to "The King's Speech," wanted to stand up and look in that direction. He even put his fingers in his mouth and whistled.

On Twitter, TMZ News, known for its swift action, tweeted: "Breaking news: Chen Nuo is wreaking havoc on Harvey Weinstein at the Oscars. OMG, the scene has gone crazy!"

"Damn it, what did I miss? I'll go check right now!"

"What!!!"

"Oh my god, I'm still in the bar, what do I do?!"

“I knew it!” a French comment read. “Look at Roman Polanski, still holed up in the Andean countryside. I knew this Chinese kid was no pushover!”

Indeed, Chen Nuo was only just getting into the swing of things at this point.

He feigned a troubled expression. "Harvey, why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"No wonder you've lost weight."

"hahahahahahahaha!"

"Never mind, keep the $20. Remember to buy a McDonald's Big Mac after the awards ceremony. I'm off."

I'm dying of laughter, I'm really dying of laughter!
I wonder how many celebrities at the scene laughed until tears streamed down their faces.

Harvey Weinstein swore at that moment that if he had a shotgun, he would have blasted that mean-spirited Asian face with a bullet!
He crumpled the $20 in his hand into a ball.

“Calm down, calm down, Harvey,” Bob Weinstein quickly reassured him, seeing his state.

He knew Harvey had bipolar disorder, but what was this situation? If he did anything at this moment, the Weinstein Company would be implicated.

Although Chen Nuo turned around, his attention remained focused on what was behind him.

I felt a little disappointed that Harvey Weinstein didn't fight like a boxing champion.

such a pity.

If this mentally ill sexual harasser actually lays a hand on him, then he won't just sit there and get beaten up like Chris Rock. He'll have a million ways to make this guy look like a fool.

Since that's the case, let's continue hosting.

In fact, Chen Nuo improvised everything from the moment he started distributing the pizzas.

At that moment, he saw a big, fat man with blond hair, and without thinking, he exclaimed with surprise, "My God, who did I just see?"

When the screen switched to an orange face, the entire audience burst into laughter again.

"Thank God, finally, I saw a real rich person at the Oscars!"

In the control room, David Hill laughed hysterically as he said to Donna, "This guy is a genius, isn't he? He's practically the Asian version of Chris Rock or Ellen DeGeneres!"

Donna laughed too. "Although I think his joke went a bit too far for Harvey, well... what are the ratings right now?"

"I don't know, the data hasn't come through yet, but I have a feeling, really, breaking the record might be just around the corner!"

At the Oscars, Chen Nuo was completely immersed in the moment.

At that time, he was a big-mouthed stand-up comedian.

He didn't care whether it was past the time limit or not.

He's the host, not the award winner.

This is his privilege!

At worst, we can just speed things up in the second half.

Seeing Donald's somewhat embarrassed expression, he exclaimed in surprise, "What? You don't have any money either?"

He then calmed down. "I understand. Your butler wasn't with you, was he?"

"I understand. Truly wealthy people don't carry their own money."

At that moment, the large screen switched back to Harvey Weinstein.

The director is clearly implying that Chen Nuo's completely different attitudes towards the two people are a blatant act of settling personal scores.

However, this only made the laughter at the scene even louder.

Subsequently.

“Hailey Stanfield!! Ladies and gentlemen, Hailee Stanfield has gotten us out of a tight spot! She just took two hundred dollars from her mother and gave it to me!”

Wow!
There was an uproar.

As soon as the little girl with blushing cheeks appeared on the big screen, thunderous applause erupted.

"Okay, everyone, I think you all owe Hailey a favor."

Hailee Steinfield's mother was overjoyed.

She didn't think too much when she paid; she just felt that $200 in exchange for a close-up shot was well worth it.

But now...

The same goes for Hailee Steinfield.

American girls are often precocious, and at this moment, the way she looked at Chen Nuo was a little strange. I'm completely afraid to write anymore.

Chen Nuo took the money and smiled, "Thank you, $200. After deducting the small tax, there's $160 left. I think William should be satisfied."

"Tips tax? I can't believe such a thing exists." Chen Nuo shook his head as he walked to the other side where William Gan was.

Halfway there, he suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back, saying, "Donald, if you become president in the future, could you abolish the tip tax?"

"Hahahaha." The whole audience burst into laughter again.

……

……

4740 million!!!
This is the final number of viewers attracted to the pizza-sharing segment.

Similarly, this astonishing number also represents the peak viewership of the Oscars ceremony. It broke the Oscars viewership record that had stood for ten years!
It overshadowed Oscar blockbusters like The Big Ship in 2000, The Dark Knight in 2007, and Avatar in 2010.

In other words, nearly a quarter of Americans witnessed Harvey Weinstein blushing and feeling utterly ashamed under Chen Nuo's teasing.

This also means that this scene will likely be brought up and mentioned repeatedly many years from now!

This meant that Harvey Weinstein, the big winner of this year's Oscars, didn't even smile after taking home the ultimate award for Best Picture.

"Bob, go back and check if there's anything wrong with that real estate developer."

"What? Harvey, you..."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything rash. I just want to understand."

That's right. He now hates Chen Nuo to the core, and by extension, he hates everyone else who appeared after that scene, including the blond fat man and the black-haired little girl.

but,

It seems that everyone who participated in the event, except Harvey Weinstein, was all smiles after the ceremony.

Whether you're a loser or a winner.

When Chen Nuo walked onto the stage at the end of the awards ceremony, amidst the celebrations of the "King's Speech" team, he crisply announced, "Thank you everyone, this year's Oscars are now over."

Surprisingly, many people didn't rush to leave for the party, but instead came up to him and chat.

Although Jennifer Lawrence ultimately went home empty-handed, she was the first to rush up to Chen Nuo as he walked off the stage, giving him a big hug and saying with a smile, "Chen, you were amazing!"

"Haha, thank you."

"I really like you, can I get your autograph?"

"Could you sign one for me too?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Immediately afterwards, Natalie Portman, the Best Actress winner that night, walked over with her pregnant belly, held up her Oscar trophy, and gave him a cheek kiss, saying, "Thank you, and thank you for the pizza, you made me less hungry."

"It's my pleasure."

"I've never laughed so happily before. I hope we'll have the chance to actually film a scene together someday."

"Okay, I'd love to too. By the way, Natalie, could I touch the trophy?"

"Haha, Chen, you're still so funny. Come on, don't touch the wrong thing, this is my belly, and this is my trophy."

"Hahahaha, no way, your husband would probably rush up and punch me."

"It was a pleasure chatting with you. It's just a pity I won't be attending the Vanity Fair party. Goodbye."

"Okay, bye."

After Natalie left, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie came over. After Brad said "Congratulations," he stood aside and chatted with Colin Firth, the Best Actor of the night.

Angelina smiled and gave him a cheek kiss, saying, "I have a feeling tonight will be a legend, something that will be talked about for many years to come."

“Thanks, I’m glad you had fun.” He glanced at Brad Pitt and said in a low voice, “Hey, you look beautiful tonight.”

Angelina Jolie blinked and whispered, "Wait, the restroom at the far left on the second floor."

"OK."

The celebrity couple left, each with their own thoughts, and Hailee Steinfeld and her mother squeezed in.

The little girl blushed and whispered, "Thank you, Chen. I...I'm really happy."

Her mother excitedly grasped Chen Nuo's hand, saying, "You gave Hailey an unimaginable opportunity, thank you!"

To be honest, Chen Nuo's act of helping was completely unintentional.

However, Hailee Steinfeld's performance in True Grit did show him a promising young girl, and he developed a slight liking for her.

After the mother and daughter left, Chen Nuo also prepared to go backstage to remove her makeup.

But Donald and his family of three came over.

As soon as they met, Old Tang grinned and said, "Chen, I remember you teasing me about being broke! But you did a great job, really great!"

Chen Nuo laughed and said, "Although I said you have no money, I still wish you would become the President of the United States, didn't I?"

Donald grinned and said, "Haha, thank you, but I'm an independent now, and I have no intention of doing so."

After Chen Nuo and his wife and daughter had all performed the wedding ceremony.

Old Tang suddenly said smugly, "Chen, do you know what? I've already received an invitation to the White House Correspondents' Dinner at the end of April."

"Oh, really?"

“Yes.” Donald leaned closer and whispered in his ear, “You know what happened to me recently, right? I think he’s feeling guilty; he wasn’t born in America. The fact that he called me this time makes me think he wants to make a deal. Do you have any advice?”

Chen Nuo looked at Donald, but he certainly didn't think that this "Mr. Art of the Deal" was really asking him a question.
