Chapter 299 I have a date with a "scumbag"

Although Chinese people are not familiar with Spain's Goya Awards, when they hear that a Chinese film has won a major award, there are many people like Wang Baoqiang who think that the Goya Awards are very friendly to Chinese people.

Regardless of what the Chinese people think, "The Piano Tuner" produced by Su Media Company has officially been released worldwide on April 30th. At the same time, under the careful distribution of Warner Bros. Entertainment, it has been leading the foreign box office with a leading position.

As for domestic audiences, since they have no interest in the Goya Awards, the box office of "The Tuner" was lukewarm at the beginning, which surprised many domestic films released at the same time.

Seeing this situation, Suning smiled indifferently, knowing that he understood the mentality of the Chinese people too well. Then he instructed Liu Ting to contact some important domestic media to convert the global box office of "The Tuner" into RMB, and publish the daily box office and cumulative box office in the media and newspapers.

Suning's bold move completely aroused the interest of domestic audiences, who flocked to cinemas across the country to watch "The Piano Tuner". Coupled with the excellent quality and superb plot of "The Piano Tuner", it quickly gained a good reputation.

Suning's bold move only allowed "The Piano Tuner" to maintain a relatively stable domestic box office, so it did not attract the attention of other films released at the same time. They secretly mocked Suning for having run out of tricks.

But on May 12, a shocking news came back to China from the French coastal city of Cannes: "The Piano Tuner" was nominated for three awards at the 58th Cannes International Film Festival, including Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Newcomer, which completely ignited domestic public opinion.

Although it is just a nomination, it is completely different from Spain's Goya Awards, because Chinese people have been praising the Cannes Film Festival too much and are more familiar with it.

When the Chinese people learned about the nomination of "The Piano Tuner" through the media and newspapers, they were shocked and ran to the cinema to see it. The domestic box office of "The Piano Tuner" also soared, leaving the films released at the same time far behind. This made the entertainment tycoons who were still mocking Suning not long ago stunned.

The filming of "Soldier Assault" has been completed and has now entered the final editing stage. At Suning's strong request, we spent a lot of money to purchase the permanent use rights of the soundtrack copyright of "Soldier Assault", so there will never be the trouble of suddenly changing the soundtrack in the original time and space.

Although Bayi Film Studio and Huayi Film Company felt that it was unnecessary, they were still unwilling to offend Suning, which was at the peak of its power at that time, so they nodded in agreement. After all, a problem that can be solved by spending money is not a problem at all.

After arranging matters at home, Suning took Zhu Yawen, the male lead of "The Piano Tuner", to Cannes, France to attend the 58th Cannes International Film Festival.

Cameron Diaz happened to be in Cannes at the time. When she heard that Su Ning's film "The Tuner" had received three nominations, she immediately ran over to congratulate Su Ning and offered to walk the red carpet with her as Su Ning's female companion.

In fact, Suning had already asked Song Hye Kyo to come to Cannes, but it was difficult for Suning to directly refuse Cameron Diaz's enthusiasm, so he "reluctantly" prepared to walk the red carpet with his two female companions.

"Suning, congratulations!

It received three more nominations at the Cannes Film Festival.”

“Haha, thank you!

It's just a nomination, and there's a high chance I'll just be a runner-up."

"No! No! No!

I have already secretly inquired with the jury this time, and your "The Tuner" will definitely win the award."

"What? This is great!"

Both Suning and Zhu Yawen were excited. They originally thought that they were just running-up roles, but they didn't expect that there would be such a pleasant surprise. At this time, Suning was really grateful to John Woo who was hiding in the dark corner. He really worked hard and made great contributions!

“Suning, I see you don’t have a female companion yet.

Do you want me to be your date and walk the red carpet with you at Cannes?"

"Haha, okay!

Song Hye Kyo will arrive in Cannes tomorrow.

If you two accompany me, all the men in Cannes will be jealous!"

"Haha, look how beautiful you are!"

"Suning, what about me?" Zhu Yawen next to him had red eyes with jealousy. It was really that Suning's luck with women was too good.

"Huh? You figure it out on your own!
I just saw that Li Bingbing also came to Cannes.

Even though she's an actress from Huayi, she's still a Chinese girl, so why don't you just invite her?"

"Li Bingbing?" Zhu Yawen's eyes lit up when he heard Suning's proposal. After all, Li Bingbing is now at the peak of her beauty.

Seeing Zhu Yawen excitedly inviting Li Bingbing, Suning took Cameron Tiachi to stroll around the Cannes Film Festival. They came to an elegant and quiet cafe in Cannes, and the two drank coffee leisurely like old friends.

"Suning, what's going on between you and Britney?

Why do I find that she seems to be so worried lately?" Cameron Diaci looked at the man sipping coffee in front of her.

“Haha, maybe it’s the difference between Eastern and Western cultures!

I want her to stay with me forever, and preferably settle down in China.

However, she might not be willing to give up her life and career in the United States." Suning explained the situation with a wry smile.

After hearing Suning's explanation, Cameron Diaci widened his eyes in shock and looked at Suning in disbelief, "Suning, what's wrong with your head?

Britney is very popular in the United States. How could she possibly go to China with you to settle down?
If you really love Britney, you should immigrate to the United States."

"No! No! No!

I will never immigrate to the United States!"

"Huh? Suning, are you a nationalist?"

"Ah? That's not the case!
The main reason is that I don’t like life in the United States, and I feel that the lifestyle in China is more suitable for me.”

“Oh my God!

If you like your lifestyle back home, why are you asking Britney to give up the life she loves in the United States?"

"Haha, so ah!

I brought this up on purpose so that Britney would start thinking about the relationship between her and me.”

"Oh! I just can't understand it.

Can't you meet more often like this?

Why do you have to make things clear?"

"Tiaci, a girl as outstanding as Britney, do you think she will be short of suitors?

Or do you think I have such great charm that I can keep Britney loyal to me?"

"This"

“Tiyaci, I am a Chinese.

My thinking tends to be conservative.

If it's just for fun, I won't take it seriously.

But since I really like her and want to be with her forever, I won't allow her to have anything to do with other people of the opposite sex."

"Oh! Suning, your thoughts are too extreme!" Cameron Diaz shook his head helplessly.

"Haha, this is probably the difference between our Eastern and Western cultures!"

"Suning, from what you said just now, are you willing to marry Britney?" "No! I may never get married in this life.

Because only by doing so can we be fair to the girls around us." Suning did not choose to hide it from his friends.

"Besides, marriage may not necessarily bind both of us. On the contrary, it may cause unnecessary trouble."

"Suning, even though I don't understand your way of thinking, it still doesn't prevent me from feeling your love for Britney.

Suning, tell me, which of these women around you do you like the most?"

"Haha, I'm too sentimental.

I probably like them all the same!"

"Oh! God!

I actually became friends with a scumbag!" Cameron Diaci smiled bitterly.

"Haha, can I take this as a compliment?"

Zhu Yawen left Suning and Cameron Tiachi and went straight to the hotel arranged by the Cannes Film Festival. After asking around, he found out where Li Bingbing's room was.

I knocked gently on Li Bingbing's door and saw Li Bingbing and another Chinese actress, Zhou Xun, opening the door. "Li Bingbing, Zhou Xun, hello! I'm Zhu Yawen."

"Hello, Zhu Yawen! We know you!" Li Bingbing felt a stir in her heart and stretched out her jade hand.

"Oh?" Zhu Yawen held Li Bingbing's soft and boneless hand, his heart was excited, but his face was full of doubt.

"Haha, we've all seen you play Yi Xiaochuan!

After arriving in Cannes, we also went to see your film The Tuner.

You look so handsome and cool when you play the piano, it's hard to describe!" Zhou Xun, who was standing by, also explained in a funny way.

“Haha, really?
So who among you is willing to be my date and walk the red carpet with me at Cannes?"

When they heard Zhu Yawen's invitation, Zhou Xun and Li Bingbing were both tempted, but Li Bingbing still wanted to be her "red carpet fixture", so she didn't speak up at the first time. Zhou Xun, who was next to her, happened to agree.

"Zhu Yawen, how about I walk the red carpet with you?"

"Haha, okay!" Although it was not Li Bingbing that he had originally thought of, Zhu Yawen was still very happy.

The three of them agreed to walk the red carpet, and then excitedly discussed going out for coffee. When they arrived at a nearby cafe, they saw Suning and Cameron Diaz sitting at the door of the cafe, leisurely drinking coffee under a parasol.

"Zhu Yawen, that's your boss Suning, right?" Li Bingbing looked at Suning with shining eyes, and then asked Zhu Yawen next to her.

"um, yes!"

"Ah! He really looks very ordinary!

Then why does the woman next to him look like Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz?"

"Yes! It's her!
She and Suning are good friends."

The three of them did not disturb Suning and Cameron Tiachi, but walked straight into the cafe. However, Cameron Tiachi had a new proposal.

“Suning, there’s a really good bar next door!
Come have a drink with me!"

"Huh? I've never been to a bar!" Suning expressed that he was a "good boy" who never went to nightclubs.

"Haha, Suning, but I don't think you look like a good kid!"

In the end, Suning followed Cameron Diaz to the bar. As soon as they entered the bar, Cameron Diaz became crazy as if he had become a different person.

After she drank several glasses of tequila, Cameron Diaz ran to the center of the bar's dance floor and started dancing. Looking at Cameron Diaz's crazy dance, Su Ning thought of her recent relationship problems, so he stopped pretending and went into the dance floor with her.

Cameron Diaz, who was still a little sober, looked up in surprise at Suning who came in, and realized that Suning was also the little prince of the nightclub, and then looked at Suning meaningfully.

"Suning, it turns out you've been pretending all along!"

"Hey! I'm risking my life to accompany a beautiful woman!" The shameless Suning would certainly not admit his identity as the "little prince of nightclubs".

With Suning's company, Cameron Diaz's dance became more intense, as if she was venting the depression in her heart.

Suning played with Cameron Tiachi until late at night, and then took the drunk Cameron Tiachi back to the hotel where she was staying. As soon as she entered Cameron Tiachi's room, she threw herself on the bed in the bedroom and buried her whole body in the soft bed.

Suning looked at Cameron Diaz on the bed, shook his head helplessly, then carefully took off her high heels and stuffed her into the quilt.

Just as Suning was about to turn around and leave, Cameron Diaz suddenly grabbed his left hand, and then a very seductive voice came out, "Suning, don't go!

Stay with me!"

Cameron Diaz, who is already 33 years old this year, is still very charming. In addition, Suning is a person who accepts everyone, so how can he resist? But when he thought that the two of them were friends, Suning felt a little conflicted for a moment.

Seeing that Suning hadn't made any move, Cameron Diaci was a little disappointed, "Suning, do you think I'm too old?

Aren’t your girlfriends as young and pretty?”

"No! You're perfect!

I just don't want to ruin our friendship because of my own desires."

"Haha, you fool!

Can there be true friendship between men and women?"

"Huh? That's what you say, but I still..." After hearing Cameron Diaz's words, Suning became even more excited and swallowed his saliva unconsciously.

Cameron Diaci couldn't see that Suning was being stubborn, so she immediately blocked Suning's mouth with her fingers.
Both of them were destined to be sleepless that night. After trying it herself, Cameron Diaz finally understood the women around Suning. It was really that Suning's physical fitness was too perfect, which really made her unable to stop.

"Suning, you are so crazy!"

"Haha, do you like it?"

"Yes, I like it!"

"Tiaci, if you like, you'll have to make sacrifices!"

"Suning, stop talking!

I understand what you mean, I do!"

Looking at such an intellectual beauty, even though she was much older than him, Suning still couldn't let her go. Then... (The following 100,000 words omitted)

What Suning said in a cryptic way just now was to ask Cameron Diaz to accept his oriental thinking, that is, to ask her to cater to his "male chauvinism", which is very difficult to understand for a woman who has been raised with western thinking since childhood.

Suning didn't expect Cameron Diaz to be so intelligent. She quickly understood what he meant and accepted it with a cheerful attitude. Suning suddenly realized that this "queen" next to him might have had ideas about him a long time ago.

Thinking of this, Suning seemed somewhat helpless, secretly lamenting his own damn charm.
