Chapter 417

Chen Mo smiled and drank the red wine in one gulp.

"You have a drop of red wine on the corner of your mouth."

Angelina said.

Before Chen Mo could react, she had already extended her finger to wipe the drop of red wine from the corner of his mouth, then put her finger into her own mouth.

She then stuck out her tongue and licked her lips lightly.

"Such good red wine shouldn't be wasted."

Angelina said with a smile.

The interaction between the two became the focus of everyone in the venue.

After Angelina left, Robert Jr. nudged Chen Mo’s arm.

"Chen Mo, you’re too amazing. Look at Brad, who is also nominated with you; he’s been pursuing her for many years, and Angelina ignores him. Now she’s actually taking the initiative to talk to you."

Robert Jr. said with a sigh.

There were already many Hollywood actors at the scene looking at Chen Mo with envious eyes.

There were many people pursuing Angelina, and they had never seen her be so proactive before.

"Is that so?"

Chen Mo smiled, not taking it to heart.

He was just thinking about collaborating on a movie with Angelina this year.

After all, Chen Mo also wanted to try what it felt like to collaborate with a powerhouse, sexy actress who had won countless awards in her life.

While he was still thinking, Hathaway also walked over.

"You seemed to be chatting very happily with Angelina just now."

Hathaway said, unable to hide her jealousy.

"How about this, I’ll make a bet with you too. If I win Best Actress, you’ll act with me."

Hathaway had also heard the agreement Angelina and Chen Mo made just now, and she said the same thing.

"I don't have any objections..."

Chen Mo was caught between laughter and tears.

"Then it’s decided."

Before Chen Mo could finish, Hathaway spoke immediately.

Having just interacted with one Best Actress nominee, Chen Mo had interacted with another nominated actress so quickly.

And both were Hollywood goddesses.

There were even more actors at the scene envying Chen Mo.

This wasn't even the most heated moment of the night.

Not long after, Kate also walked to Chen Mo’s side.

"Long time no see, Mo. Regarding that bet, I want to join them too. I also want to act in another movie with you."

Kate looked at Chen Mo.

When they collaborated back then, Chen Mo was just an underage child, but Chen Mo liked working out, and his physique looked much larger than many adults.

After a few years, Chen Mo looked much more mature.

He had more of a masculine charm.

"Alright."

Chen Mo laughed.

It seemed the three of them were competing against each other.

Chen Mo didn't refuse the three of them; after all, the bet was something they had made themselves.

It just so happened he was indeed going to film a movie this year, so whoever won the Oscar for Best Actress this year would be the one he’d let star in the movie.

Soon, the awards ceremony officially began, and all the actors and directors returned to their seats.

Everyone was very curious about which movie would win the main awards this time.

After some of the earlier awards were presented, it was soon time for the Best Actor and Best Actress awards.

The first award presented was Best Actress.

Aside from two very senior veteran actresses who were nominated, Chen Mo knew the other three young actresses who were nominated.

One was Hathaway, who had spent the night with Chen Mo last night.

Another was Angelina, who had just greeted Chen Mo.

The last one was Kate, who had starred in *Titanic* with Chen Mo.

Even though it was a competition between several actresses, everyone subconsciously cast their gaze on Chen Mo.

Because whoever won Best Actress this year would have the opportunity to collaborate with Chen Mo this year.

The host stood on stage holding the microphone.

"Who will be our Best Actress this year?"

The host deliberately kept them in suspense.

Angelina, Hathaway, and Kate were all very nervous; they had wanted to win this award to begin with.

Now that this award was also related to Chen Mo.

They wanted to win the award even more.

"The winner of our Oscar for Best Actress this year is the lead actress of *The Reader*, Kate!"

The host deliberately made his tone sound much more passionate.

For a moment, Kate stood up from her seat in excitement!

Her eyes were filled with tears.

After she went on stage to accept the award and gave her acceptance speech, Kate looked down at the audience.

"Mo, don't forget our agreement. This year you are going to act in a movie with me."

Kate looked at Chen Mo below while holding the microphone.

A wave of cheering erupted at the scene.

The host also adjusted the atmosphere on stage at the right time.

"Chen Mo, how do you respond to Kate’s call?"

He walked over to Chen Mo and handed the microphone to him.

"Of course, that’s no problem."

Chen Mo answered with a smile.

In an instant, the venue became even more boisterous.

Only Angelina and Hathaway sighed; they were a bit annoyed at why they had made that bet.

Now it was too late; they hadn't won Best Actress, and they had lost the chance to collaborate with Chen Mo.

After the Best Actress award was presented, it was time for the Best Actor award.

The nominees for Best Actor this year were all powerhouse performers.

And the quality of the films that won was very high.

"I think the Best Actor this time is definitely you; they don't stand a chance."

Robert Jr. looked at Chen Mo.

He not only regarded Chen Mo as his benchmark in the entertainment industry but also as his mentor and benefactor.

For Chen Mo, Robert Jr. was absolutely supportive unconditionally.

"Thanks."

Chen Mo laughed.

The host on stage had already received the list for Best Actor.

"Let’s see who the actor who won this year’s Oscar for Best Actor is."

The lights of the entire venue focused on the five nominees.

Finally, the lights began to sway.

"The Best Actor is our lead actor from *Rise of the Planet of the Apes*, Chen Mo! Congratulations to Chen Mo for winning the Best Actor title again!"

As the host’s voice fell, the light finally landed on Chen Mo alone.
