Huayu: Starting from intercepting Duan Yu

Chapter 238: Xu Yi, the Completely Unpretentious Person, the Unspoken Rules of Hollywood

"Damn, this guy just arrived in the United States and he already has a new scandal!"

"You're truly a walking scandal-mongering machine, never quiet anywhere!"

"This guy was still pretending in China, but once he got abroad, he stopped pretending completely!"

"Maybe those foreign female celebrities are too enthusiastic..."

"Among all the Chinese stars, only this guy can enjoy this kind of treatment. Even Fang Shilong can't!"

"A Chinese star? Even if you count all the stars in Asia, no one is more popular than him!"

"Fang Shilong can only date Korean female stars and unknown Hollywood starlets. He has never been able to date the truly famous Hollywood female stars!"

Xu Yi's romantic affairs abroad soon spread back to China.

Netizens became envious again.

All the haters shut up.

It’s not that they don’t want to be black.

It's useless to know that it's black.

Now that they continue to make a fuss about Xu Yi's scandal, it is obviously no longer to discredit Xu Yi.

The real purpose is to discredit those female celebrities who cling to Xu Yi.

No matter how awesome Xu Yi is, he is only one person.

If you can't afford to provoke someone, you can always avoid them.

But more and more stars are becoming famous because of him.

YiChuang’s future development is getting better and better.

That is even more deadly for some people!

Therefore, the rumors about Xu Yi and a foreign female star are not worth criticizing at all for these black fans and internet trolls.

Not to mention those foreign reports, which are also "groundless".

Because just like the domestic reports, there is no conclusive evidence!

Just like that, a few more days passed.

On February 2, the 24th Academy Awards ceremony was held at the Kodak Theater as usual.

Xu Yi brought the "Joker" crew to attend the red carpet ceremony.

This time, "Joker" received a total of 8 Oscar nominations.

But not all the nominations are his.

Although he can indeed take care of all the crew's affairs by himself.

But he didn't do that.

There is no need to take the limelight.

Therefore, those behind-the-scenes staff who have been nominated will also attend the awards ceremony with him.

Then he walked onto the red carpet with Natalie Portman and other members of the "Joker" crew.

Reporters on both sides of the red carpet immediately began taking photos frantically.

Then wait for him to walk down the red carpet.

The reporters who had been waiting for a long time immediately surrounded them!
"Xu, may I ask why you didn't walk the red carpet with Scarlett today?"

A reporter asked first.

Scarlett also attended the red carpet ceremony today.

He will also serve as the presenter for the Best Original Score award.

And for this award, "Joker" was not only nominated.

The person who was nominated was Xu Yi.

"That Girl" is not a song from "Joker."

But there are a few other original songs in "Joker".

These can naturally only be "created" by Xu Yi himself.

After this news was announced.

Major betting websites immediately lowered the odds of Xu Yi winning the Best Original Score award.

The odds now are even lower than Xu Yi's odds of winning the Best Actor award!

At the same time, Natalie Portman, who was beside Xu Yi, also changed her expression.

The scandal between Xu Yi and Scarlett has been making a lot of noise these days.

At least it is known to everyone.

As Xu Yi's "former rumored girlfriend", she was naturally also greatly affected.

"Because the movie that received 8 nominations this year was Joker, not Iron Man 2. If you want to see me and Scarlett Johansson walking the red carpet together, you may have to wait until next year!"

Xu Yi replied with a smile.

Although he knew that the reporter was suspected of deliberately sowing discord.

But whether it is Natalie or Scarlett, they can only be regarded as his sex partners at most.

So he won't be angry.

What's more, you can hype up scandals for publicity.

Others can naturally ask questions at will.

"Xu, so you mean that next year's 'Iron Man 2' will also receive 8 Oscar nominations?"

The reporter asked again.

Obviously, they are still deliberately setting a trap.

"Iron Man 2 is a commercial film. The most important thing for a commercial film is the box office and making everyone happy, not winning awards!"

Xu Yi replied.

Naturally, he wouldn't fall for such an obvious trap.

But the reporter still did not give up.

"So, can I understand that as a major commercial film director with two films that have grossed over $20 billion worldwide, you don't actually care about any awards, including the Oscars? And you also admit that you can't make a film that's both box office-high and artistically successful?"

As a Chinese, no matter how hard Xu Yi tries.

It is absolutely impossible for them to truly integrate into Hollywood and the United States.

There will always be people who have opinions about him or even oppose him.

There will be many more.

Not to mention those who are jealous of him.

Including Warner and Sony, as well as Harvey.

It's absolutely impossible. I'm not jealous of him at all.

It's just that for various reasons, there is no need or possibility to turn against him for the time being.

Fortunately, Xu Yi never thought about integrating into this place.

Come to Hollywood, except there's more money to be made here.

Because of this place, he can better play to his advantages.

He only knows one thing: if he can cooperate, then cooperate; if he can't, then forget it.

If you insist on taking advantage of him, don't blame him for turning against you first!

"Joker" grossed $9.4 million worldwide, but its cost was less than $1 million."

"Although it didn't reach $10 billion, as the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time, I believe no one can deny that this movie was a box office success."

"At the same time, Joker received eight Oscar nominations, including Best Actor."

"Although it's just a nomination, I believe no one can deny the artistic quality of this film."

"Or do you think that the global box office of 9.4 million is not high enough? It was only nominated but not won, and it lacks artistic value?"

Xu Yi sneered.

The reporter was immediately dumbfounded.

The other reporters around were all laughing at the joke.

Although there were also many of them who disliked Xu Yi.

But there has always been an unspoken rule in Hollywood that everyone takes for granted.

As long as a person is successful, he will continue to be successful.

Until the day he failed.

This may seem like nonsense, but it has a profound impact on the entire Hollywood.

This is also why many Hollywood stars and directors find it difficult to get a second chance once they fail.

Because when you succeed, everyone believes that you will continue to succeed.

Then hold you high.

Give you the highest attention.

But once you fail, everyone will naturally think that you will continue to fail.

This is also very fair.

It's like adding leverage.

If you win, you will always be a young model in the club. If you lose, you will be a young model.

And now Xu Yi is undoubtedly successful.

And it's not just any success.

So no one could question him.

Otherwise you will become a real clown like this reporter!

But at the same time, no one can succeed all the time.

At least these reporters, and even the entire Hollywood, don't believe it.

Xu Yi is a Chinese, but he has been able to continue to be successful in Hollywood, which represents American culture.

As for what if Xu Yi really succeeds all the time.

Then there will naturally be another way to deal with him.

Otherwise, do you really think that the United States is a good place?

Even Michael Jackson was framed and slandered because he was black.

In the end, he died in an unclear manner.

What’s more, Xu Yi is a Chinese!
"Xu, are you and Scarlett dating?"

another reporter asked.

The interview returned to normal.

The reporter from before quietly left the crowd.

"As you know, Scarlett will play Black Widow in Iron Man 2, and we are also very good friends."

Xu Yi replied.

"A very good friend? Like Natalie?"

The reporter joked.

"Just like Natalie, indeed."

Xu Yi still smiled.

The other reporters around also laughed.

The same thing, as long as there is no conclusive evidence.

If Xu Yi doesn't admit it, there's nothing others can do.

Besides, this is the United States.

If someone really dares to spread rumors, then Xu Yi is willing to sue.

Given Xu Yi's current fame, the consequences will be very serious.

But after attending the Versace event that day, Scarlett did not follow Xu Yi home.

Instead, he went back to his home.

The two did not meet again for several days.

So even Hollywood paparazzi can’t take any valuable photos!

"Xu, how many awards do you think you can win this time? Can you win Best Actor?"

another reporter asked.

"You should ask the jury about this, but I don't think it's going to be 8 nominations and 0 wins, even though I'm not American either..."

Xu Yi joked.

The reporters around couldn't help but laugh again.

"8 nominations and 0 hits" is also a well-known meme.

Avril Lavigne's first album received 8 Grammy nominations.

He also excitedly went to attend the award ceremony and serve as a guest performer.

It turned out that because she was not American, everyone arrested her.

So I didn’t win any awards.

She was so angry that she later said directly that she would never sign up for the Grammy Awards again!
Xu Yi was unwilling to sign up for the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards because he didn't want to be fooled like this!
"Xu, will there be a second Joker movie? Also, it's rumored that Warner Bros. is preparing a second Batman movie, and the Joker will also appear. So, are you willing to continue playing the Joker?"

At this time, another reporter asked.

This is also a topic that many people are concerned about today.

Many people are also looking forward to Xu Yi continuing to star in "Joker 2".

In addition, Warner's "Batman 2" was originally scheduled to start filming last year.

But because Xu Yi bought the film and television rights to the Joker.

He also spent several million dollars more to bribe the top executives of Warner Bros.

Therefore, the plan for "Batman 2" was temporarily shelved by Warner.

Now with the huge success of "Joker", this plan has naturally been restarted.

"If nothing unexpected happens, there will probably not be a second Joker movie, and I won't play this role again."

Xu Yi shook his head without hesitation.

He originally only purchased the film and television copyright authorization for a movie.

If I were to film it again, the copyright fee would definitely not be cheap.

But the most important thing is that he really doesn't want to make a second part.

I don't want to play the role of the Joker again.

Unless one day he wants to make a movie that truly destroys Gotham!

After answering this question, Xu Yi signaled to the reporter that the interview was over.

He glanced at Natalie again and asked if she wanted to stay and continue the interview.

Natalie shook her head slightly.

Although she really wanted to stay.

But she knew that if she stayed, these reporters would definitely not ask questions that would make her happy.

For example, what do you think about Xu and Scarlett being together?
Or why she wasn't nominated for Best Actress?

She has been answering so many of these questions in the past few days that she feels like vomiting!
Doesn’t she want to be Xu’s girlfriend?
Or does she not want a Best Actress nomination?

And the little golden man who won this award directly?

That requires her to have the ability!
At this moment, she suddenly discovered another bad thing about being with Xu Yi, besides being a romantic.

That's because his light is too dazzling.

So much so that other people's starlight will be affected in front of him.

It even becomes dull and dim!

You know, she has worked very hard to play the role of "Joker" well.

Not only did she use various methods in bed, she also tried to cum on Xu Yi.

He also worked very hard under the bed and asked Xu Yi for advice.

And she thinks her performance in "Joker" is very good.

Definitely deserves a Best Actress nomination.

It’s just because Xu Yi’s acting skills are too amazing.

So much so that everyone thought that she played the bitch heroine.
