Chapter 206: Either jump back, or die together!

~14 min read 2,690 words

For Chen Nuo's request, Lori Eisner refused, giving the reason that he shouldn't be showing his face in public places in Hollywood now.

Also saying that there are quite a few people in the US who recognize him, this Joker actor.

If he falls into the eyes of someone with a heart and spreads to Harvey's ears, a fool knows there is a problem.

When the time comes, if he is prepared in advance, the articles in the newspapers may not even be published.

Chen Nuo laughed upon hearing this, noncommittal.

In a mansion in Beverly Hills late at night, Chen Nuo met Gwyneth Paltrow.

For Angelina Jolie, Chen Nuo started from sympathy, salvation, and humanity, because Chen Nuo knew that she was indeed a compassionate person.

Not just because of those experiences of visiting refugee camps, but because after Harvey's incident, he saw in interviews with some female stars that although she kept silent about her past with Harvey, she secretly reminded many female stars who collaborated with Harvey to be careful.

But for a white girl with Jewish blood like Gwyneth Paltrow, another argument must be made.

"Harvey will squeeze the value of every woman on the list, including you..."

"Yes, he won't let you go."

"Angie has decided to stand up..."

"Yes, I am because of the Oscar matter; Harvey offended me. I am indeed for revenge, otherwise, I am not a philanthropist."

"The New York Times is also on our side; they are very interested in the scandals of Hollywood big shots..."

"Of course, there will be risks. But as long as the identity is not public, how can Harvey Weinstein find you?"

"Gwyneth, the choice is yours next. After all, you are the one who knows Harvey best; we hope you can provide some materials and directions."

"Of course, of course, no matter what your decision is. I understand. After all... MeToo."

"You decide next, you can contact Lori. She will help you contact the reporter."

Coming out of Gwyneth Paltrow's house, just after getting in the car, Lori Eisner said: "You told Angie that Gwyneth is your friend, and told Gwyneth that Angie is your friend. Aren't you afraid that they will talk and find out?"

Chen Nuo smiled, "Lori, do you really understand Hollywood? Why do I feel that your understanding of Hollywood superstars is not as good as me, a bumpkin who grew up in a mountain village in China?"

Lori Eisner was stunned, "What are you saying, what do you... wait, damn, you mean, Brad Pitt!?"

Chen Nuo laughed, "That's right. Paltrow's beloved ex-boyfriend, Jolie's current husband. I think the possibility of them calling each other is not greater than the possibility of you getting back together with your ex-girlfriend, right?"

"WTF, you this..." Lori Eisner cursed something. But Chen Nuo didn't hear the second half, so he didn't turn his face.

Lori Eisner was silent for a while and asked again: "How do you know I broke up with my girlfriend?"

Chen Nuo smiled, "This is the observation of the Oscar Best Supporting Actor."

Lori Eisner couldn't help but laugh too, "It seems Harvey didn't crush your confidence, so I'm relieved. By the way, when should I tell Warner about this?"

Chen Nuo said lightly: "I think you should never."

Lori Eisner was stunned, "But, if Warner doesn't join, it's almost impossible to completely crush Harvey through this kind of thing."

Chen Nuo sighed upon hearing this, "Yes, I know, but how could Warner join? Lori, think about what kind of people are sitting in the positions of the Warner board of directors now?"

"Yes, men."

"Harvey is a beast, but their hands may not be clean either. Do they really care about women's feelings? No, no, they will only worry about whether this thing you stir up will involve them."

Linghu was driving Lori Eisner's Mercedes CLS500 in the front row.

Chen Nuo and she were sitting in the back row.

Looking at Lori's beautiful face with complex expressions, he also noticed her golden hair like a waterfall of gold, draped over her shoulders, reflecting the light outside the car, more dazzling than silk.

The towering and full chest was bulging under the shirt, the largest among all the women Chen Nuo had contacted at close range, but the waist was surprisingly thin, and the ratio with the hips reached an alluring degree.

Under the waist-hugging skirt, those long black-silk legs were by no means the proportion of ordinary Asian women. Almost occupying two-thirds of the 172 height. Under the seat, the slender calves with a slight flesh color under the silk stockings were like finely carved works of art, making one's blood boil.

27-year-old Lori Eisner was clearly more in line with the aesthetics of Chinese Chen than 35-year-old Gwyneth Paltrow.

This made the American friend of women feel pity in his heart, putting one hand on the back of Lori Eisner's smooth hand, rubbing and comforting: "No matter what, we have already taken the first step, haven't we? One day, the wave of the MeToo movement will sweep the world, and women's voices against workplace sexual harassment will be heard by everyone."

"In this, I have no doubt."

Lori Eisner was moved, looking at him and saying: "Chen, thank you, you are right. It is best that I don't get involved in this matter. However, please take your hand away, okay? Does this count as you sexually harassing me?"

Damn, these ungrateful American chicks. I traveled thousands of miles to preside over justice, what's wrong with sending some benefits?

This counts as sexual harassment? I spit.

Chen Nuo had to admit that Lori Eisner, this foreign girl who looked a bit like Vivien Leigh, should be the white girl he had felt most for in two lives.

The royal sister temperament of long straight golden hair, sweet and cute appearance, and a bisexual identity... too imaginative.

He took his hand away naturally, shook his head and said: "Wrong, it's you who shouldn't get involved. But I'm different, I'm looking forward to the day Harvey calls me."

That night, Chen Nuo almost didn't sleep, directly boarding the earliest flight the next day, flying back to the other side of the Pacific.

The trip was hurried not only because it needed to be kept secret for the time being, but also because he only asked for three days of leave from school.

Zhang Tianyou, who approved the leave, probably never dreamed that his student asked for three days of leave not because he was upset by the rumors on the internet, but to go to the other side of the ocean to stir up trouble, wanting to kick the butt of the "King of Hollywood" in the mouths of Chinese media until it was swollen.

Hollywood people are afraid of Harvey Weinstein, but he is not.

His basic market is in China, in Asia.

No matter how arrogant Miramax is in Hollywood, it can't ride on his head.

Chen Nuo had seen in gossip tabloids that Harvey often threatened others that he would destroy someone's career, and Gwyneth Paltrow was threatened like this, and finally had to swallow her anger.

However, Harvey wanting to destroy his authentic Chinese Chen's career is as ridiculous as the US wanting to kick China out of the world supply chain in later generations.

Go to the bathroom and look in the mirror, don't really treat yourself as God.

Harvey Weinstein's call didn't make Chen Nuo wait too long.

Two weeks later, on December 18, 2007, the second page of the New York Times published a spicy report from investigative reporter Jodi Kantor, with a headline that was blunt and sensational.

Named "Harvey Weinstein, because of him, the number of sexual harassment allegations in Hollywood has increased tenfold in the past twenty years." The content of this article was actually sent to the friend of women's private mailbox a week ago.

Chen Nuo, a guy whose college entrance exam essay was at most 30 points, still had the face to guide Lori Eisner's alumni, an investigative reporter who also graduated from Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, on this sharp piece of work.

I don't know if he was afraid or what, but he actually suggested that the other party didn't need to directly mention Harvey Weinstein's name in the article, just hint at it indirectly.

The reason is, "The writing time of this article is too hurried, the arguments are too few, and focusing the article on avoiding more women from becoming victims of sexual oppression is more practical than trying to trip Harvey Weinstein in one fell swoop. If you want to do bigger things, then conduct more investigations, unite more people, and in the future, truly turn the MeToo movement into a movement for women all over the world. That time is the day Harvey Weinstein falls and goes to jail. As for now, giving him a small warning and making him afraid to act rashly is the most appropriate approach."

However, Jodi Kantor is an idealistic reporter and didn't listen to his nonsense, still putting Harvey's name in the headline.

On the day of publication, it caused a massive uproar in the entire United States for a time.

Harvey Weinstein became famous this time. Originally, besides people in the film circle, he didn't have much popularity among the general public.

But as several TV stations reported on this article in the New York Times, he instantly became a drowning dog that everyone shouted at in the US.

For a time, it was simply indignant, and many bloggers on blogs were shouting MeToo.

At the same time, Harvey Weinstein's various roots were dug out, and internet bloggers aimed their guns at Harvey Weinstein, simply equating him with a sex offender, feeling that this fat old white man must be sent to prison immediately, and every second late is a crime.

It was under these circumstances that at 3 PM on December 23rd, Chen Nuo received a strange call from the other side of the ocean.

"Chen, hello, I am Harvey Weinstein." A very thick male voice with some nasal sound came from the receiver.

Chen Nuo's answer was quite wretched, his voice was very small, and there was a hint of guilty conscience: "Hi, Mr. Harvey Weinstein, hello, is there anything?"

Harvey Weinstein didn't have the self-awareness of a drowning dog at all, and there was a hint of a smile in his voice: "You don't seem surprised by my call, Chen."

Chen Nuo whispered: "Then do you think I should show surprise?"

Harvey Weinstein laughed: "It's 3 AM Los Angeles time, and I'm still not sleeping, waiting to call you, just so you don't think I'm rude. Now it seems, all this is worth it. You are indeed an interesting person."

Chen Nuo said: "You too. So, what's the matter, can you speak faster?"

Harvey Weinstein's voice became somewhat displeased, saying: "I don't sleep in the middle of the night, call you, and you don't even have time to answer the phone? Chen, is this the hospitality of you Chinese?"

Chen Nuo covered the microphone and said: "Harvey, I've been very polite. I'm still answering your call while in class, so, if you have anything to say, hurry up, okay?"

Yes, Chen Nuo is really a polite guy, he is in Huang Lei's acting class in the classroom, and he has to take time to answer the enemy's call from the other side of the ocean.

He looked at Yuan Shanshan, Duanmu, and Wang Meng, who were performing a touching five-cornered love with his two roommates,

while chatting with this sex offender Harvey Weinstein in English, which naturally attracted the attention of many people.

Among them, not only classmates but also Teacher Huang.

Huang Lei was surprised because when Chen Nuo came to school to attend classes, he had never violated discipline so openly in class.

Even if the whole Film Academy knows, if you really want to talk about the busyness of affairs, maybe the principal might not be better than him.

However, even if other students would interrupt the teacher's lecture because of a call from an unknown director or some small producer, Chen Nuo would never do so.

Therefore, when Chen Nuo broke the precedent and answered the phone in the corner of the classroom that day, even Huang Lei couldn't help but give birth to a trace of curiosity, moving his somewhat fat body and slowly moving toward him.

And at this time, Harvey Weinstein was laughing loudly in Chen Nuo's iPhone, "Chen, I swear, you should be the first person in the world who thinks that attending an undergraduate acting class is more important than answering my call."

It seems Harvey Weinstein really has his roots figured out, even knowing that he is in the acting department.

Chen Nuo was not surprised, comforted: "Can't say that, equally important. After all, I believe you must have important things. Right?"

"Yes, very important." Harvey Weinstein didn't chat with Chen Nuo anymore, his voice suddenly became serious, "You..."

At this time, Chen Nuo saw Huang Lei walking toward him, and immediately ignored the voice of Harvey Weinstein in his ears, covered the microphone and said to Huang Lei: "Teacher Huang, should I go out to answer?"

Good guy, for a while, even the language forgot to switch, still speaking English.

Fortunately, Huang Lei is also someone who will send his daughter to study at New York University in the future, so his spoken language is naturally not a problem, and he also smiled and said in English: "Very important call? Who is it?"

Chen Nuo didn't know if Huang Lei knew Harvey. After all, this person is too notorious and really doesn't match the snow-white ivory tower in China. However, he could only tell the truth: "It's Harvey Weinstein, that is... the one from Miramax."

The last explanation was purely redundant. How could Huang Lei not know Harvey Weinstein? In fact, Chen Nuo still subconsciously brought his later-life thinking to 2007.

Still the same saying, Chinese film and television people now may know Hollywood better than Hollywood.

Not to mention, who is Harvey Weinstein?

From 1979 to 2006, he was thanked 32 times at the Oscar awards ceremony.

The number of times he was thanked is on par with God, second only to Spielberg.

The name of this fat white man is well-known in the Chinese film and television circle.

Moreover, Huang Lei, who cares about major international events, also knows that Harvey Weinstein has been embroiled in scandals in the US these past two days.

However, at this time, a student in his acting class claimed that the person he was talking to on the phone was exactly that Harvey Weinstein!?

If this student wasn't Chen Nuo, if it were anyone else,

Huang Lei would definitely tell him to bring the phone over, he wanted to hear if the person opposite was Harvey Weinstein, or Harvey, Wayne, and Stan.

But since Chen Nuo said so, Huang Lei believed it.

He even said to several students who were performing: "Shanshan, Duanmu, you stop for a moment."

Now Chen Nuo was embarrassed.

Answering the phone in front of the curious eyes of 30 classmates, even as a pretty good actor, his psychological quality far exceeded ordinary people, and he couldn't hold it.

Fortunately, as everyone knows, students whose college entrance exam English can score above 140 generally don't exist in the Film Academy.

Unless he is also a reborn person and has lived in the US for many years.

Therefore, with Chen Nuo's face thickness, for now, his not-so-friendly conversation with Harvey could still barely continue.

As for Huang Lei, he heard it if he heard it.

Let the teacher whose worldview has been formed listen to the gossip of Americans, it doesn't matter.

"Wait, wait, wait, Harvey, say it again." Chen Nuo said to the microphone, "Just now my teacher came over, what did you say, I didn't hear... hehe, sorry."
