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

Chapter 206: Powerful Opponents and Strange Rumors
".Whether it is the Golden Globe Award or the Oscar, or our country's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award, for an actor, it is actually just some external things. It can only prove some past achievements. Besides."

Chen Nuo was wearing a suit and tie, speaking seriously on TV.

However, the owner of the big-screen TV had no intention of letting him continue.

The screen flashed, and the face that made Wang Zonglei feel disgusted disappeared.

"Brother, I told you this long ago, this idiot must be on this show just to show off. Haha, from the way he speaks, he really fucking thinks that all the Golden Globes and Oscars are his, and the Americans have no chance."

Wang Zongjun calmly lit a cigar and said leisurely, "Let's not talk about the Oscars for now. The Golden Globe Awards, according to the news from the United States, isn't that it?"

Wang Zonglei was choked when he heard this, and he muttered a few words with gnashing teeth, and said with a sinister look, "Brother, if it were you, we should first expose the matter between him, Fan Binbing, and Gao Yuanyuan. Make some trouble for him. Seeing him so smug, I'm really pissed."

Wang Zongjun said expressionlessly, "That would only alert the enemy. With his current momentum, these rumors are nothing but trouble. How could they possibly affect him? He might even be eager for us to stir up some rumors for him."

"She had an affair with him, Gao Yuanyuan, and Fan Binbing, so what? Or even Liu Yifei? Don't say that we don't have any real evidence now. Even if you have someone take photos of it, what does it matter?"

"That Hong Kong woman named Janice Man is so devoted to him that she has even stopped taking any roles. Will she come out and say that he is having an affair?"

"As long as Wen Yongshan doesn't go against him, Chen Nuo will issue a statement saying that they broke up a long time ago and that he is now just dating someone single. What can you do to him? Haha, it's not like we haven't used this trick before."

"Besides, if Janice Man really wants to turn against him, so what? Which of his fans can stand Janice Man? They are not married, and it is at most a young man's affair. The newspapers scolding him a few words can only hurt him a little bit, but it can't shake his foundation."

Wang Zonglei said angrily: "Brother, according to what you said, we can't do anything to him?"

Wang Zongjun said with a cold look in his eyes: "As the saying goes, hit the snake at its weakest point. We have to beat Chen Nuo down the same way he got up."

Wang Zonglei said thoughtfully: "How did Chen Nuo rise? Of course, it was by winning awards. So, brother, do you mean to start from the United States?"

Wang Zongjun nodded heavily and said, "That's right. Don't underestimate Harvey Weinstein. He is a big shot in Hollywood. His Miramax has been around for almost 20 years. Although it is not as big as the Big Six, he is very good at winning awards. He is even better than the Big Six."

"He wants us to provide some negative information about Chen Nuo, especially information about racial discrimination, gender discrimination, violence, drugs, etc., which are the things Americans hate the most. That means Harvey is really determined to make that kid fail at the Oscars."

"So, even though he has Warner backing him up now, the Golden Globe is fine. But the Oscars are not that easy."

Wang Zongjun shook the cigar ashes into the ashtray and continued, "Especially if we are there to help him."

"We must help, we must help!" Wang Zonglei shouted, "It's being rumored that their film 'The Sound of Wind' is determined to compete with our 'Assembly'. If he wins the Oscar, that will be disastrous."

Speaking of "Assembly", Wang Zongjun couldn't help but feel a headache and couldn't help cursing: "Yeah, there's also "Assembly". Damn it."

How can I not curse?

They launched the big project "Jihehao" in a hurry and invited so many domestic big names and young actors.

Huang Xiaoming, who had just recovered from his illness, was used to play the third male lead. The original male lead Zhang Hanyu was replaced by Tong Dawei, who is now gaining momentum and has a more pleasing appearance. Zhang Hanyu was asked to play the second male lead, and Chen Daomin and Zhang Guoli were invited to join.
The purpose is to use a collection number with the same theme, a larger investment scale, and a stronger cast to break Chen Nuo's golden body!
This time, Wang Zongjun was completely confident that he would win.

He even did not hesitate to expose his own shortcomings, saying that "The Sound of Wind" was originally chosen by Huayi, but was snatched away by Huanxin Company. He publicly broke up with them and still felt he was in the right.

In this case, who in the entire entertainment industry would not give him some face?
Finally, looking at the final cast of Feng Sheng, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

What kind of shit are Huang Bo, Duan Yihong and Yu Hewei? Are they worthy of acting in a movie?
The two female protagonists, Liu Yifei and Fan Binbing, are so hilarious.

Wang Zongjun thought that Chen Nuo had been very successful and was too arrogant and didn't understand the domestic film market at all.

Fan Binbing is fine, he is an ungrateful person raised by Huayi, and he does have a little box office appeal.

Where is Liu Yifei?

A TV drama star who hasn't acted in a long time. Haha, do you really think that ordinary people in China are willing to pay to go to the cinema for an outdated vase role?

Just wait to die!
Moreover, there is the sniper of "Assembly" that they spent a huge amount of money to carefully create.

Wang Zongjun can be said to be absolutely sure that this time he can make Chen Nuo lose everything he has and settle the accounts with him including the principal and interest!

But I didn't expect
"The final role of "The Sound of Wind" has been confirmed: Jiang Wen flew to Hengdian today and officially joined the crew of "The Sound of Wind". When asked about the role, he shook his head and said nothing, showing a mysterious smile. "

"Wang Jiawei secretly arrived in Hengdian, claiming to be the producer of The Wind, and said with a smile: I look forward to opening up different careers in the future."

"South Korea's Blue Dragon Baeksang double-winning actress Jeon Do-yeon made a whirlwind visit to China and showed up in Hengdian. She was in a hurry the whole time and only came and went for one day. It was confirmed that she was there to guest star in "The Whistleblower""

"Choi Min-sik, the top male star in Chungmuro, South Korea, will play an important role in The Whisper of the Wind. He will go to Hengdian with Bong Joon-ho, Lee Chang-dong and others to join the crew of The Whisper of the Wind."

"Breaking news! Takeshi Kitano admitted in Japan today that he will play the role of a Japanese officer who invaded China in The Wind, and said that the movie is just a movie and hopes that the public will view it rationally. "

During the first two months, he was dizzy from the bombshells one after another.

Although they are all guest appearances, they are not important roles.

But based on these names, it is really like the famous saying in Zhao Benshan’s sketch, what else do you need a bicycle for?

Wang Zongjun really didn't understand why these people would give Chen Nuo so much face in just a meeting at Sheshan that lasted only one day and two nights.

Could it be that this person really has some magical power?
As a result, what was originally a sure win turned into a evenly matched situation, which made him feel uneasy.

I was afraid that the nightmare of the night banquet would happen again.

"Brother, what do you think we should do? As far as we know now, we don't have what the Americans want. It seems that there is nothing else to reveal about that guy except that he likes women." Wang Zonglei's words woke him up from his thoughts.

Wang Zongjun was silent for a while, thinking a lot in his mind. Suddenly he made up his mind and smiled coldly: "He doesn't have it? Who said he doesn't have it? If he really doesn't have it, then let's help him make some!"

I talked to the media and the public on "Luyu's Appointment" and realized that the Golden Globe and the Oscar are actually awards given by foreigners. Although it is a goal, it is not worth publicizing.

If he was lucky enough to win the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award one day, it would be the honor of his life. After that, Chen Nuo's life finally returned to peace for a while.

The post-production of "The Sound of Wind" is in full swing, but it is nearing its end.

At this stage of post-production, the person Chen Nuo wanted to thank the most was not Ning Hao, nor Gao Qunshu, nor even himself, who didn't care about anything.

It's Wang Jiawei.

In fact, in his previous life, Chen Nuo had a vague feeling that Wong Kar-wai had a faint ancient chivalrous spirit in his bones.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have spent so much time and energy to make a martial arts movie like "Ashes of Time" so poetic and picturesque.

The more I interact with Wang Jiawei in this life, the clearer this feeling becomes.

In Cannes, although Wang Jiawei didn’t win the Best Actor award because of his pretentiousness, didn’t Wang Jiawei himself also win the Best Director award?

Logically speaking, no one owes him anything.

But Wang Jiawei doesn't think so.

This time, he came to be his producer without asking for a penny of remuneration, and he never asked them for money even for the hotel and travel expenses every time he came.

Afterwards, not only did he help a lot during the filming, but he also corrected the shortcomings of the two directors who were too frugal with film, resulting in the loss of some film quality.

In the last one or two months, I actually stayed in BJ, working in the editing room, doing post-production with Ning Hao, Gao Qunshu and others.

He actually supervised the production until the very last minute, until the film was completed.

He really lives up to the title of producer.

From this, Chen Nuo knew that he owed a big favor this time.

None of these problems can be solved by simply giving a seven-digit red envelope.

If Director Wang asks him to make his next movie, it would be unacceptable if he doesn't stick with it until the end, let alone one or two years, even if it takes 10 years.

On November 11, the shortlist for the Golden Globe Awards across the Pacific was released and reached China.

At this time, the post-production of The Sound of Wind was almost completed.

The final shortlist was exactly the same as what Rory Eisner said, except that there was one more talented British actor, Geoffrey Rush, on the list.

However, looking at the five male stars in the Best Supporting Actor category.

From the United States to China, and then to the United Kingdom, France, Japan, and South Korea, the major mainstream media have almost the same tone. There are only two people competing for the Best Supporting Actor at the Golden Globe and even the future Oscars, one is Chen Nuo and the other is the 2005 Oscar winner, Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Chen Nuo also attached great importance to this chubby blond man. In order to understand the competition, he even got the movie "Suspicion" starring Philip Seymour Hoffman to watch through Lori Eisner.

I saw it and realized it was a good guy.

This movie is a genuine award-winning film, okay?

Just look at the credits.

In addition to Philip Seymour Hoffman, the female lead is even more awesome, Meryl Streep.

This woman, who was later known as the greatest American actress, had been nominated for 2024 Oscars as of 21.

That is to say, she lived for 21 or years, and she was a regular guest of Kodak Cinema for years. This is absolutely unprecedented and will never be repeated.

Similarly, the second and third female lead are also frequent guests at American award ceremonies.

Amy Adams and Viola Davis.

In the future, they will become the Best Actress at the 72nd Golden Globe Awards and the Best Supporting Actress at the 74th Golden Globe Awards and the 89th Academy Awards respectively.

Just tell me whether it’s awesome or not?
When seeing this lineup, Chen Nuo's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

After watching the whole movie, he immediately realized that Harvey Weinstein, the guy who treated the Oscars as his backyard, would never let him off this time.

Even if Warner Bros. is like a mad dog, biting people everywhere for his Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor, it is impossible for Harvey Weinstein to give up.

Because, putting together such a lineup and spending such a huge amount of money, they must have been prepared to compete for the Oscars from the beginning of production.

Secondly, this movie is so damn ugly. It can be said that apart from the actors' acting skills, there is nothing good about it.
It's so dull and boring that it can make people fall asleep.

Even if it is compared with the standards of art films, it is still extremely ugly.

If I don’t win the award, it’s over.

It will definitely be a failure, not only will you lose money, but the loss will definitely not be a small amount. After all, there are so many stars in the film, and they all need real money to hire them.

People of this era may not fully understand what kind of person Harvey Weinstein is, but Chen Nuoke knows it all too well.

When he was finally sent to prison, more than 80 female stars accused him of sexual assault, and it is unknown how many more did not come forward.

There are many first-line stars and even Oscar-winning actresses.

His history of sexual assault can be described as the history of the rise of women in American films.

Compared with this real bulldozer, Chen Nuo can even call himself a virgin.

After the Golden Globe Awards shortlist was announced, Rory Eisner reminded him the same thing over the phone.

The public relations for the Oscars has just begun. Warner is cheering for him, but Miramax has not made any moves yet. Who knows what shady ideas they are up to.

Therefore, Lori Eisner said that even though he was far away in China, he had to be careful not to cause any trouble at this critical moment.

Finally, Lori Eisner also gave another piece of good news.

Right now the Writers Guild and the Screen Actors Guild in the United States are on strike, and are having a huge fight with the major film companies. It seems very likely that the Golden Globe Awards will cancel the awards ceremony for the first time in history this year and directly announce the winners.

Therefore, there is a high possibility that he can win the Golden Globe Award while sitting at home, saving him the trouble of traveling back and forth.

This is indeed good news for Chen Nuo.

At least now it is certain that he can take the final exam this year and he doesn't have to shamelessly ask for leave.

"Chen Nuo, I'm a reporter from Net1 Entertainment. What do you think of the shortlist for the Golden Globe Awards this time?"

"Chen Nuo, I'm a reporter from Sina Entertainment. Philip Hoffman mentioned in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter yesterday that you will be his biggest rival for the Best Supporting Actor at the Golden Globe Awards. Do you think he's right?"

"Chen Nuo, I'm from Sohu Entertainment. I heard that the Golden Globe Awards ceremony meeting is going to be cancelled. Do you feel sorry about this?"

"I'm a reporter from Tencent Entertainment. Miramax CEO Harvey Weinstein recently declared in an interview that your acting skills in JOKER were absolutely overrated. What do you think about this?"

"Chen Nuo, I'm a reporter from the Hong Kong Wen Wei Po. Recently, there have been some rumors on the Hong Kong Internet saying that when you were playing JOKER, you used drugs to gain inspiration. Is that true?"

"Chen Nuo, I am..."

"Chen Nuo."

As soon as the Golden Globe Award winners list came out, Chen Nuo's peaceful life during this period was no longer there.

On December 12, he went to Li Ning's newly opened flagship store in Beijing.

After the event, under the escort of many security guards, he struggled to break through the swarm of reporters and got into the nanny car.

After getting in the car, he looked out the window and didn't say much for a while.

Qi Yuntian had some free time today, so he came to the event with him.

Seeing that he looked a little strange, I couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Chen Nuo turned around and asked, "Are there any rumors about me on the domestic Internet recently?"

Qi Yuntian thought for a moment and said, "The company has been monitoring public opinion all along. At least, there was nothing unusual in the report given to me last week."

Chen Nuo said: "Just now I heard a reporter from Hong Kong say that there are rumors on the Internet that I took drugs to play the Joker."

Qi Yuntian was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Actually, similar rumors have been circulating over the past few months. Um. Do you think there's something wrong this time?"

Chen Nuo nodded and said, "Yes, I think the reporter's question just now is a bit strange."

"If it was just some unfounded rumors on the Internet, he wouldn't have come to ask me in person. However, he actually asked me. After asking, he said it was just some rumors. This is a bit contradictory."

"It felt to me like he was laying some groundwork. He wanted me to take the attitude that I would not respond. He was preparing for the story he would make up later. And I felt that the things he made up were most likely related to drug use."

Qi Yunfei listened to it solemnly and said, "I understand. I'll ask someone from the company to check it out."

Everyone knows that in China, nothing is as serious as this.

If someone really tries to play tricks on this and makes a big deal out of it, even if he fails in the end, it is very likely that he will be covered in dirty water that he cannot wash off.

Everyone in the car was Chinese and they all knew the nature of this. Even though Linghu never spoke while driving, he suddenly said, "Mr. Chen, I want to say a few words."

Chen Nuo immediately said, "Brother Chong, tell me."

Linghu said: "Mr. Chen, tell me the truth, have you ever been to America?"

Chen Nuo said categorically: "Absolutely not."

Linghu observed Chen Nuo's expression in the rearview mirror and continued to ask, "The rumors on the Internet say that you, Mr. Chen, went to the United States to act and took drugs. How long ago was that?"

"Well, I went to the United States last June."

"When did you come back, Mr. Chen?"

Testing memory and the like would be a bit difficult for Mr. Chen.

Chen Nuo coughed lightly and turned to look at Qi Yuntian.

Qi Yuntian said without hesitation: "I returned to Hong Kong on December 12 last year."

Linghu didn't say anything for a while, but he stopped the car on the side of the road. Then he turned around and said to the two of them with a very serious look: "Boss Chen, Boss Qi, my suggestion is, why don't we go to the police station now?"
