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

Chapter 181: All praises soar to the sky

In the end, Lori Eisner couldn't let go of her self-esteem.

She knew that the old witch Jesse wanted her to sell her body.

But, taking the initiative to lower herself and seduce a Chinese boy who was six years younger than her and whom she had only met for less than a day?

As a member of the Eisner family and Michael Eisner's niece, Lori Eisner has her own dignity, and she can't get over the hurdle in her heart.

She chose another path, to be honest.

After listening to what Lori Eisner said, Chen Nuo couldn't tell how he felt.

To say that he wasn't nervous before this would be a lie.

After all, The Dark Knight is the movie he put the most effort into.

It can be said that his desire for it to succeed is no less than that of Warner's senior executives and director Nolan.

Especially his unknown heart knot.

The comparison between his modified Joker and Heath Ledger's original.

It can be said that it has always been something he has been thinking about.

It's not that there has to be a winner, after all, there are many good examples before him. No matter how good his acting is, he is just standing on the shoulders of his predecessors.

Chen Nuo's only requirement for himself was that when he had the chance to meet Heath Ledger in the future, he would not act like a thief who had stolen someone's wallet in front of him.

Now it seems that the distance between him and this requirement is not far away.

"In short, Warner America needs you. As long as you are willing to cooperate, I can help you put forward some conditions to them.

Chen Nuo likes making conditions the most.

Now that I think about it, when I signed the contract with Warner, it was a good thing that he asked Qi Yuntian to negotiate the publicity terms with Warner.

The reason at that time was mainly that after he finished filming a movie and left the role, he didn't want to be involved with it anymore.

From "The Dumb", to "If Love", "The Return of the Condor Heroes", and "My Blueberry Nights", it's actually the same.

Therefore, his contract with Warner never included any clause about unconditional cooperation in publicity.

Fortunately, Warner probably felt that this young Chinese actor was not really necessary at the time, and only added some agreements regarding promotion in China.

There are no mandatory restrictions on him in other regions, all the terms are voluntary.

Otherwise, there would be no such good thing now.

He asked, "Like what conditions? Money?"

Lori Eisner was relieved to see that he was interested. She smiled and said, "Money, of course. But my suggestion is Oscar."

Chen Nuo thought for a moment and said, "Oh?"

Lori Eisner strengthened her tone and said, "I don't know if you know the rules of the Oscars... In short, no matter how well you act, if no one pays for you to find a public relations company to lobby the 2000 judges of the Screen Actors Guild on a large scale, you will not be able to win the award."

"And your... sorry, let me be frank. Your skin color may make Warner reluctant to invest too much in your supporting actor award because the risk is too great. You should also know that to date, no Asian actor has ever won an acting award at the Oscars."

"Lobbying costs a lot of money. According to Hollywood rules, every company will only invest in the most likely awards. So, if you don't take the initiative to fight for it, I am 80% sure that even if you are shortlisted, you will not win the award."

Chen Nuo listened very carefully, "So, do you think I should propose this condition to Warner?"

When Lori Eisner saw Chen Nuo's interest, she was immediately delighted.

She also thought carefully before deciding to start from this aspect.

Although she had never seen a play by this Chinese boy, she knew that he had won the Best Actor Award at the Berlin Film Festival.

An actor of this caliber, who performed as well as Jesse said on the phone in The Dark Knight, would definitely want to pursue an Oscar.

Seeing that it really worked, Lori Eisner decided to throw out a bigger bait and said, "Yes, Chen, you have to know that although you are competing for the Best Supporting Actor this time, this will be a breakthrough from zero to one."

"After this experience, you may be able to go further in the future. You know what I mean."

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "Is it that simple?"

Lori Eisner said sincerely, "Of course it's not easy, so you need me. I hope that with your help, I can say goodbye to Singapore and return to Warner headquarters. At that time, I will act as your eyes and ears and run this matter myself."

"Chen, my uncle is Michael Eisner. I am familiar with Hollywood and I have my own connections. As long as you give me some room to develop, I will definitely not let you down. I guarantee this in the name of the Eisner family."

Chen Nuo looked at the blonde beauty Lori Eisner for a while. The ambition in her blue eyes was clearly visible.

Well, actually it’s not that exaggerated. If you walk on the streets of Hengdian, you’ll see similar things.

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "Then how can I help you?"

Lori Eisner smiled and said, "You just need to cooperate with me. In addition to Asia, the headquarters may ask us to go to more countries, and all of these require your cooperation."

To put it bluntly, it involves the issue of time.

The filming of "The Sound of Wind" was in progress, and he had a lot of scenes. If he changed from traveling around Asia to traveling around the world, how would he calculate the time lost? He certainly couldn't just agree to it casually.

Finally, he said, "You should first ask the US about the situation, and then we can talk. You know, I still have a movie to shoot, and if I'm not here, every minute will cost money."

Lori Eisner couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. It was that damn movie again. That low-budget movie with a budget of just over 10 million US dollars.

She couldn't help but want to ask Chen Nuo, although the lobbying fee for a supporting actor is not as high as that for the leading actor, it is also in the millions of dollars. Maybe a trip to the United States or Europe only takes a week. Are you sure every minute of your play is so valuable?

Seeing her look a little dejected, Chen Nuo couldn't help but feel a little compassion for beautiful women, and comforted her: "Don't worry, you just said that the situation in the United States has just come out, and it's uncertain what will happen in the future. What if you don't need me in the future, right?"

What Chen Nuo said does make sense.

Lori Eisner also hesitated.

After all, she got the news from Jesse just two hours after the midnight show ended.

What if the other party is too happy?
What if IMDB or something, it's just a system glitch?
So, while accompanying Chen Nuo to attend the media reception held at 8 pm, Lori Eisner did not care that it was still early morning on the other side of the ocean. She kept texting with her friends in the United States and paying attention to the comments and messages on various forums over there.

After all, in 2007, it was not yet an era where you could access the Internet with just a mobile phone.

Especially in China, she can't access the website she wants to visit even with a computer.

And to keep it confidential, she didn't want her colleagues to know what she was doing.

Therefore, she could only trouble her high school classmate who knew nothing about movies but loved texting and typing very fast.

Along the way, Lori Eisner got the information she wanted through the old-fashioned method of transatlantic text messages.

"Yes, Roger Ebert posted a blog at around 6am. It's too long. I glanced through it and found that 50% of it was praising the director, and the remaining 40% was talking about the Chen you mentioned. I can give you a small excerpt." "By the way, he gave your movie a five-thumbs-up recommendation. The following text message is my excerpt."

"Overnight, film history gained a classic comic book movie. Overnight, the big screen gained another classic character. I don't want to boast about my foresight here, but I have to attach the links to my previous blogs. FUCK, Luo Rui, this old man is so long-winded. Let me summarize it for you. In short, this old man thinks that your Chen is a genius who will never be seen again, and he firmly believes that he will have a place in this year's Oscars. Finally, he gambled his 40 years of reputation as a critic and said that your movie will have great potential this summer. He also suggested that all his fans who follow him go to the cinema to watch this movie. Luo Rui, how much money did you Warner give her to make him work so hard?"

"Ouke Ouke, I won't talk nonsense. Okay, here's a piece of news from Yahoo Entertainment. OMG, your movie actually surpassed The Godfather in IMDB ratings? Oh my God, I decided to go see this movie this afternoon. Yahoo Entertainment said that the changes in the IMDB-top 250 list do not mean that The Dark Knight has surpassed The Godfather, it only means that the fans of your movie are fanatical enough, and your movie is powerful enough to incite tens of thousands of people to give you a perfect score overnight."

"The article also mentioned a term called collective unconsciousness. Anyway, it means that because of the passionate performance of a character named JOKER in your movie, many fans have been brainwashed and are unable to make a clear judgment on the quality of the movie for a while. Even when they open IMDB and see such a high score, they will be affected and change their original evaluation, and give it a full score like everyone else. Luo Rui, is this JOKER the CHEN you mentioned?"

"OMG, is it really him? When you return to China, can you bring me an autographed photo of him? I find that he is almost a big star. It's not even 9 o'clock in the morning yet, and almost all the titles on all the movie websites I click on are related to him. There are too many. I'll go to the Rotten Tomatoes you mentioned and check it out."

"89 reviews from popular film critics, with a freshness rating of 96%. 18 reviews from well-known film critics, with a freshness rating of 100%. Audience likeability rating is 95%, with a total of more than 1 audience ratings. Shit, I just refreshed the page, and there are more than 1 new audience ratings. Luo Rui, although I don't really understand these movie rating systems, it looks like your movie is really promising."

"OK, I helped you read the movie reviews. Here are my excerpts. I must warn you, you must treat me to a lavish dinner when you return to the United States."

"Under Nolan's direction, the Joker's actor was completely immersed and created a miraculous performance. Every frame of his picture makes the movie a plus - A+, Nord Porter, Filmbus;"

"If you don't go see this movie, you can declare that you have done nothing this summer. If you don't know who JOKER is by this time, you can declare that you have disappeared from your circle of friends - 4.5/5, William North, Metacritic;"

"The Dark Knight, which has been promoted by Warner for a long time and has been anticipated by comic fans around the world, is not only the best movie of this summer season, like Greek mythology, but it is even 99% likely to be the best movie of the year. In it, an actor from across the ocean gave a performance that made everyone drop their jaws - a+, Jake Wood, CinemaScore."

"As for comic book movies, it offers all the elements you want. It has a cool Batmobile, an almost 100% restored Batman, and a plot with ups and downs. Most importantly, it has a villain that you will never forget - 4/4, James Alexander Smith, The Boston Phoenix;"

"From an entertainment business perspective, it is a commercial film with car chases, gunfights, large explosions, and classic cartoon characters; from an artistic perspective, it is an art film that makes people think about human nature. In this regard, the wonderful performance of the character JOKER greatly enhances the artistic value of the film!" - A+, Linda Williams, The Denver Post. "

"There are so many good reviews. I'm tired of them. They're all praise. Oh my god, I swear I must go see this movie this afternoon. I searched for a long time and found the one negative review."

"Boring cutscenes, illogical plot, Nolan has produced the most boring movie since he entered Hollywood. Memento has no spirituality at all. Apart from the terrifying villain, I can't find any reason for you to enter the theater. - 1/5, Emily Grace Taylor. Letterboxd."

"Okay, Luo Rui, if you keep hitting me, my fingers will cramp. I believe these comments should be enough to satisfy you, right? In addition, I have to remind you that no matter what you plan to do to that Chen, you'd better act quickly. In my opinion, the whole United States is talking about him now, and he may soar to fame at any time. But if you can tie a relationship with him, the next time we meet should be in LA."

Lori Eisner looked at Chen Nuo who was answering questions from reporters on the stage and said with her finger: "Thank you, Linda. I will definitely thank you when I return to the United States."

And now, Chen Nuo is being interviewed by a reporter from Phoenix Entertainment, and the question he was asked was about foreign media comments.

"Hello Chen Nuo, we just got the news. After the premiere in the United States, the media seemed to have given high praise, especially for the role of the Joker you played. But our domestic audience friends have not seen this film yet. Do you have anything to say to them?"

After the initial discomfort, Chen Nuo now sits alone on the stage, with cameras and cannons all around him, and he has regained his original demeanor.

It's even a bit like that scene in the movie where the Joker sits at the table and convinces a bunch of gang bosses to work with him.

But what she said smacked of a bitch.

He slowed down his speech and said slowly: "In fact, foreign reviews are not important. After all, there is a different atmosphere abroad and at home, and the views and opinions in many places are also different. I also heard that the current reviews of this movie abroad seem to be quite good, but I don’t know whether domestic audiences and fans will like it. So, um, everyone’s money is hard-earned money, so watch the movie with caution."

When these words were spoken, the audience in Sina's live text broadcast room went wild.

"Brother Nuo, are you pretending to be cool?"

"Does he mean that he doesn't want us to go to the cinema? But the more he says that, the more I want to go. What should I do?"

"Come out, Nuomi, and explain what your Nuonuo said. Is he out of his mind? I want to pay to watch a movie, but he won't let me?"

"Come out if you want. Are you blind? Don't you understand what Nono said? I'm telling you poor bastards who can't afford to watch movies to wait and rent a DVD later!"

"Hahaha, here I come. What explanation do you want to hear? Hasn't our Nono always been very caring towards the disadvantaged groups like you? If you are not smart, why don't you stay off the Internet?"

"Who's calling Nuomi? The mentally retarded kid with hemiplegia upstairs? Who do you think has lost his mind? If you have the guts, tell me your real address instead of just bullshitting on the internet. Anyone who doesn't tell me is a loser."

"Hey who, didn't you ask us to come out? Damn it, why are you silent?"

"Here comes glutinous rice, slipping away..."

In an instant, the live broadcast room, which originally had more than 5000 viewers, had only more than 2300 viewers left, and a large number of swear words began to flood the screen.

He pointed at the nose of the netizen named "Diving Frog" who first provoked him and cursed him. But this person probably knew he was in the wrong and kept silent. He was probably offline.

This shows that who you are has what kind of fans you have.

After forcing the other passers-by to leave, the remaining people in the live broadcast room were probably someone's glutinous rice balls, and they actually started chatting happily again. Among them were a few American students who had climbed over the wall and returned.

Margaret Wang: "Sisters, America is going crazy now! Because the movie Nono made this time beat The Godfather. Now The Dark Knight is ranked first on IMDB! Tell me if it's amazing or not!"

Wei Ai Nuonuo: "Sister, what is The Godfather? What is IMDB?"

Want to eat hot pot with Chen Nuo: "Haha, you don't even know this, let me tell you..."

Promise for a lifetime: "I know that too!"

I have to say that when there were no outsiders around, the members of this violent fan club were quite harmonious and they all talked at once and explained everything to the little girl.

Margaret Wang added: "But I saw on the forum that many fans of The Godfather have already given Nono's movie a low score. Maybe this ranking won't last long. However, it's already remarkable to be able to pull it down from the ranking."

Anne: "It's more than amazing, it's a miracle, okay? IMDb has been online for nearly 20 years. There are so many movies in the world, and Nono's "The Dark Knight" is the first one that can do this! Moreover, I also saw on YouTube that many people spontaneously made recommendations."

Weiwei: "Sisters, me too, I'm in Canada. I didn't sleep the whole night last night, I was browsing the movie forums. I'm really so happy. And you must go and watch it, Nuonuo's performance in it is definitely beyond your imagination."

Want to eat hot pot with Chen Nuo: "Oh, I can't watch it today. My dad won't let me go out."

Wei Ai Nuonuo: "Me too, o(╥﹏╥)o."

A little maple leaf: "Haha, I've already bought the ticket for tonight's midnight show. Sister,"

Anne: "Sisters who can climb over the wall, take a look at this, it makes me laugh to death. https://www.YUTUBE.com/"

So there were actually some fans who broke the law and clicked in to watch it.

I saw a chubby American boy who looked very funny. He was holding a poster with three English letters on it.

But among Chen Nuo’s fans, due to their age, probably half of them don’t know what these three English letters mean.

Another quarter only know two-thirds.

Only the last quarter of the elite know what is written on it: "Why so serious?"

The fat man said in English: "Hello everyone, welcome back to my channel, I am George Morris."
