Chapter 278: Whether at the Oscars or Cannes

The small conflict that occurred in a corner of the banquet hall in the main building of Mar-a-Lago appeared very suddenly and ended very quickly.

In the end, it did not attract the attention of others.

Both sides of the conflict followed the rules of high society, restrained and hypocritical.

No matter what thoughts they had in their hearts, when they separated, they still smiled politely and nodded.

However, what they would say after turning their heads was another matter.

Chen Nuo and Ivanka, wearing a silver evening dress, left this corner.

Ivanka, who is 180cm tall, is exactly 28 years old this year, which can be said to be the age with the most charm in a woman's life,

When she wore high heels, held his arm, and walked side by side with him, it made Chen Nuo very fortunate.

Fortunate that before coming, Michelle urged him to bring height-increasing insoles, he was annoyed by the little black girl's nagging, but finally put them into his leather shoes!

Damn, too wise.

Otherwise, it would really be a shame to the Pacific Ocean.

At least now, in front of Ivanka who is wearing 5cm high heels, he can dangerously maintain a height advantage of one or two centimeters, not falling into the embarrassment of being hung upside down.

Ivanka didn't know that the man who was 183cm barefoot beside her had fallen into a self-psychological crisis because of her, and she didn't seem to care about this.

The woman walked to the entrance with a thoughtful look and Chen Nuo, and suddenly suggested: "Chen, how about we go out to get some air?"

Chen Nuo of course asked for it.

Because darkness is the best cover,

If he walked on tiptoe, he didn't have to worry about someone seeing it and laughing to death.

Coming out of the banquet hall, under the starry night sky, walking along the path in the manor, Chen Nuo and Ivanka didn't speak for a while,

After walking for a few minutes, suddenly the two looked at each other and suddenly laughed.

After giggling for a while, Chen Nuo asked: "Didn't you say his dad is a big real estate developer in New Jersey, how does it seem like he can't even take out 5 million?"

Ivanka also laughed: "Oh Chen, his family is indeed very rich. But that was before 2007, 2008. You have to know, since last year, the company that went bankrupt the most in the United States is real estate developers."

"And, although his dad is a fairly successful businessman, it doesn't mean he is too. He just graduated from Harvard not long ago, and now he is just a manager in his father's enterprise, that's all."

"He doesn't have that much money to agree to your bet at all."

Chen Nuo shrugged: "Okay. But I think he is quite serious. Isn't he preparing to sign a contract with me?"

Ivanka turned her head, looked up at him and said: "That's all bluffing. He wouldn't dare. If he really agreed to you, he would definitely be scolded to death by his dad."

"However, Chen, I'm really curious, how much US dollars did the success of *Twilight* earn you? Is the 5 million bet serious?"

Hearing Ivanka's words, Chen Nuo also reacted.

What should this be called?

Consumerism sequelae?

Just like you just spent 1 million to buy a car, you will feel that spending 10,000 to buy a mobile phone is like not spending money.

When a person just spent 100 million US dollars to do something, what does he think about betting 1 million US dollars with people?

Kindergarten playing house?

Even after raising the bet to 5 million, to be honest, there is no too much feeling.

What if you lose this money?

Think of a way.

Isn't there still 40 million US dollars in the US stock account.

That is long-term investment, not dead-line investment.

Seeing Ivanka's suddenly surging curious eyes, Chen Nuo discovered that his money view had indeed appeared a problem.

He said helplessly: "I'm just joking with him. Ivanka, I actually didn't earn much."

Ivanka chuckled and said: "Really? But I don't think so."

"Everyone knows that Summit Entertainment's CEO Luo Bo Friedman resigned because of your acting fee problem, and you are now cooperating with Warner to invest in Director Nolan's new film."

"Actually everyone knows that you earned a lot of money on *Twilight*."

"It's just that everyone is guessing how much."

"Your fan site, many people are guessing now, some say 20 million, some say 30 million, and some say 40 million."

Ivanka blinked her big eyes and said: "Chen, I promise, after you tell me, I will definitely not tell anyone, I just want to satisfy my curiosity. I swear to God."

Chen Nuo smiled, "You know I can't say."

"Chen, please. I just want to know a rough range. That's all."

Chen Nuo shrugged and said: "Then I can only say, a little more than the few numbers you just said."

Ivanka froze, muttering: "Then no wonder that CEO was fired. If Tang Tang Nade sat in the position of the board of directors, he would definitely eat him alive. You estimate that you got more than their whole company, let alone now it is an economic crisis, businessmen all over the world are crying!"

Chen Nuo said helplessly: "Actually, Luo Bo shouldn't be blamed. Who could have thought of it at the beginning? I couldn't think of it either, really."

Ivanka froze for a long time, suddenly exhaled, and said: "This is what you deserve."

"Thank you."

"Chen, I have a strange feeling that you and Tang Tang Nade are very similar in some aspects. In some ways, you are the same type."

Chen Nuo laughed: "Ivanka, you are too exaggerated, I dare not be mentioned in the same breath as your dad."

Ivanka smiled and said: "No, I didn't. In fact, you might be better than him. Because he is too conceited. Surrounded by a group of sycophants."

"If it were Jared, I would also dare to bet 5 million US dollars, he would definitely not do what you did this morning. Poking Tang Tang Nade's fantasy to his face. He would only be like others, echoing him, flattering him, and even saying he should run for president!"

"I'm not joking, Jared and his dad really said that to Tang Tang Nade. You say, how ridiculous this is."

Chen Nuo nodded, "Indeed very ridiculous, tell your dad not to believe them."

Sitting in the big position for four years, finally blinded by profit at the last moment, driven down in a mess, and then beaten like a dog in the water, quite a bit of killing them all.

Chen Nuo felt that Old Tang really shouldn't have sat in the position of president.

Anyway, it was only four years, and he didn't get many benefits.

When he was reborn in 2024, Old Tang looked like he was preparing to set off again. But a pile of dirty water on his body hadn't been washed clean, and it was running again after failure, the possibility of success was really slim.

The person who finally succeeded in doing this in American history, the newspaper said there was only one.

Can Old Tang be the second? Chen Nuo felt it was impossible!

If there really is such a day, he believes those hypocrites of the Donkey Party will not be soft-hearted, and it is not certain that they will arrange a bullet for him if they don't agree.

"Don't believe them what? Running for election?"

Ivanka laughed after hearing Chen Nuo's words, "Of course impossible. He only likes money."

Seeing Ivanka laughing and trembling, Chen Nuo's heart was a little itchy again.

Lowered his voice and said: "Then what about you, what do you like?"

Ivanka's eyes flowed, starting from Chen Nuo's face and moving down, until she saw his crotch.

"I also like money, and, useful men."

It's really not easy for a white woman like Ivanka who is 180 to praise someone as useful.

If it weren't for the medicine he ate from Yang Bodhisattva, and he had been exercising...

After all, in this outdoor starry sky, pedestrians pass by from time to time.

The stimulation is absolutely beyond imagination.

If it weren't for Chen Nuo having emptied once last night, he wouldn't dare to say he was definitely "useful."

A pair of men and women were hot, suddenly a sound of footsteps came, and it was very close to them.

The position where the two are now is next to a swimming pool, which is a secret corner that only people like Ivanka's Old Tang family can find.

From the perspective of outsiders, this is a flower bed, I guess no one would think that there is a small space that can accommodate people behind a row of flower bushes and trees.

Through the gaps in the flower bushes and trees, Chen Nuo saw that the person walking over was a familiar black African-American man, and a cute and pure Saxon blonde boy, and then

In the next period of time, Chen Nuo turned his head away, not wanting to see those unbearable ugly things.

Chen Nuo also didn't know whether the two were buying and selling by force or what, in short, he didn't want to preside over justice, just wanted to say a fuck you, all get out of here!

Even so, after those two people left, Chen Nuo had no interest at all, and even wanted to vomit a little.

Ivanka's face was also very ugly, while tidying up her skirt, while saying with disgust: "I used to like his songs very much... fuck, can these people be more normal? How old is that boy? shit, it really makes me sick."

Chen Nuo sighed and said: "I'm tired, apprentice, I want to go back to my room to rest."

Ivanka said apologetically: "Sorry, teacher. Let you see such a disgusting scene. Forget him, let's go out to sea to play well tomorrow."

People in Old Tang's family seem to really do what they say.

And it wasn't just the next day, Ivanka actually borrowed Old Tang's largest yacht for a full three days, and also invited several of her model friends from New York, which is the legendary party beauty.

A Latin American with black hair, a little Brazilian spicy girl with brown skin, and a bright white Aryan woman, good guy, finally plus Ivanka, a total of four women went out to sea with him to swim and bask in the sun.

Blue sea and blue sky, yacht beauties.

How to play is another matter, in short, this day is called his mother's life, right?

As the saying goes, making money without spending money is equal to not making money.

Chen Nuo even swore that his next house purchase target must be in Palm Beach, and his next shopping list must be a yacht.

When the time comes, have a sea-sky feast here, everyone comes to bask in the sun, it is not in vain to live once!

In the three days out to sea, Chen Nuo was completely relaxed from head to toe. There was no place that was not comfortable and at ease.

Fortunately, he hadn't forgotten that he couldn't bask too much, otherwise he would film a fart vampire, it would be more suitable to be a werewolf directly.

Even so, when he came to Montepulciano in the Tuscany region of Italy and acted back as Edward again,

Michelle also complained a little that his skin was a few degrees darker, although he looked more man,

But it was almost inconsistent.

Finally, Michelle put an extra layer of powder on him. However, the inspiration brought after relaxation was much more valuable than this layer of powder.

Chris Weitz became famous in Hollywood at the age of 30 by co-directing *American Pie* with his brother.

However, *American Pie* has passed for many years, and the youth sex comedy that once swept the world has now become an old antique occasionally borrowed by one or two middle-aged people in the video store to reminisce.

For the past 10 years, he has been playing soy sauce everywhere, sometimes as a producer of this romantic comedy, sometimes as a screenwriter of that movie, and he hasn't been a director for many years.

When in Vancouver, the man in the monitor now didn't feel very amazing to him.

In his view, it was just following the path of performance in *Twilight 1*, at best accurately giving what he wanted, and there was nothing unexpected.

However, the first scene after reuniting this time, before the play started, he couldn't stand it.

Chen Nuo's styling now, in this era, for these old antique filmmakers, is simply an unprecedented shock.

"Will, I'm not... I mean... I mean, what style is this? What style does Chen want to perform?"

The producer of this film, the elderly tough guy from Texas, Will Stanson, sat next to him, his expression extremely complex, just like eating a fresh piece of shit, unable to swallow it, and unable to spit it out, his expression was extremely uncomfortable.

"You are the director, you ask me? I want to ask you, do you think... it works?"

Chris Weitz swallowed his saliva, looking at the man in the monitor wrapped in a bright red robe, pale, which can be called enchanting,

And recalled what his brother Paul Weitz, who was four years older than him and also more successful in his career, said to him when he took the film.

Chris said with difficulty: "It's hard to say, but I think, although our filming time negotiated with the town government is very limited, but, I think... at least we should film it once to try... by the way!"

He turned to the staff on the side and said hurriedly: "Is Dakota Fanning here? Call her to me."

Chen Nuo didn't know that his whim had brought such great trouble to the film director and producer.

But even if he knew, he didn't feel there was any problem.

As an actor, is there a problem with having inspiration while filming and wanting to try something new?

If there is, then add the definition of "Oscar winner" in front of this actor.

In the dog-blood and simple plot of *Twilight 2*, it has now reached the middle and late stages.

At the very beginning of the second part, the heroine Bella and the vampire Edward broke up.

The reason is that when Bella went to attend the Cullen family party, she accidentally broke her hand, making the vampires of the Cullen family, including Edward, almost unable to resist the impulse to drink blood.

Edward was very self-blaming for this, so he broke up with Bella, and also took the Cullen family to leave the town where Bella was.

As soon as he left, Bella developed feelings for the male second lead in the movie, an Indian werewolf, and they were together for almost half the movie.

However, after knowing that Edward was preparing to commit suicide, Bella still left the male second lead and ran over to save him.

This scene starts here.

Kristen Stewart sat in Ashley Greene's car and came to this ancient town that had once been ravaged by vampires.

Ashley Greene told him that this day is "Saint Mark's" Day, the day when the town residents commemorate the expulsion of vampires. Of course, the residents don't know that it's all a fake, the vampire royal family Volturi family is still lurking by their side.

Edward's way of committing suicide is to expose his vampire identity in the sun in front of the crowd of the town at noon, causing the anger of the Volturi family and letting them execute him.

As for why do this? Because he thinks Bella jumped off a cliff and died.

Why does he know? Chen Nuo doesn't quite know either.

Why doesn't Chen Nuo, the male lead, know? Because women's plays, which man can understand?

No matter how outrageous the plot is, in short, this scene is about Edward exposing his identity in the sun to commit suicide,

Bella ran from the United States to save him.

Bella's timing is also unknown, anyway, it's not early or late, just right, it's 12 noon, Edward walked out of the ancient building and started to bling bling flash in the sun at this moment.

More specifically, the script says Edward is wearing a black shirt and jeans, walked from the corridor in the house to the door hole, then took off his clothes, walked down the steps, and let himself be in the sun to reveal...

It stands to reason that there is no problem with this.

However, when Chen Nuo was preparing to follow the director's instructions to prepare, he didn't know why, but suddenly remembered a person, a very inexplicable person who shouldn't have been remembered at this time no matter what.

Justin Bieber.

After he was in a daze for a while, he made a decision that the director and producer, including everyone on the scene, couldn't understand.

Chen Nuo messed up his originally neat and stylish hair, looking like a chicken coop, then he took off his shirt in advance.

Then, he asked someone to find a red cloak worn by the town crowd participating in the "Saint Mark's" memorial day, and used it to wrap his upper body.

It wasn't wrapped very tightly, just draped on his shoulders, revealing a V-shaped neckline on his chest, revealing his Adam's apple, collarbone, and part of his well-defined chest muscles.

After doing it, he gestured an OK gesture to the photographer and walked into the corridor.

Dakota Fanning looked at the monitor blankly, swallowing saliva unconsciously.

Chris Weitz asked seriously: "Dakota, what do you think of Chen's styling?"

Dakota, who just turned 15 this year, is undoubtedly lucky.

Debuted at 6, appeared in countless TV dramas and movies, and has been roaming in Hollywood for nine years so far, having worked with countless big-name male actors.

From Sean Penn to Denzel Washington, from Luo Bo De Niro to Tom Cruise...

Compared to others, she felt what kind of star is Nuo Chen?

And she has seen *Twilight*, her view is different from those girls of her age, but the same as the film critics, this is a big rotten movie from beginning to end.

She especially agreed with Roger Ebert's sentence in his blog:

"*Twilight* is a large garbage dump. Chen is the biggest and newest piece in it. Looks very bright and eye-catching, very like a king of garbage, but this will only make people despise it more, not take it home."

If it weren't for her mother thinking that *Twilight 2* could increase her popularity, she would never have come to participate in the role in this movie.

But since she came, she made up her mind to act well.

So, even if there was no play today, she still came to the scene to feel the atmosphere of the set and prepare for tomorrow's filming.

But didn't expect to be called over by the director, preparing to listen to her opinion on the male lead.

"I think..."

Dakota Fanning was a bit nervous, although her acting skills were outstanding, but she was too young, which led to her always listening to orders, and no one would ask her any questions seriously like now.

Finally, Dakota Fanning decided to hide a little real thought, so as not to let Director Weitz and Mr. Stanson think she was too frivolous.

"... Currently, the feeling he looks like is not bad, but I don't know what the effect will be in the filmed lens."

Chris Weitz smiled, "Thank you, Ms. Dakota, you think the same as me."

After speaking, he picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "Everyone in place, prepare to film once."

With the "action" of the field director.

The first scene of *Twilight* in the Italian town started.

Montepulciano is an ancient town that has existed since the 3rd century, and the buildings in it have a very rich ancient European flavor.

Buildings built with red mud bricks, connected by arches, have been washed by the dust of history for thousands of years, just walking in it, you can feel the heaviness and vicissitudes of history.

In the camera lens, in such an earthy yellow ancient corridor, a man draped in a bright red blanket slowly entered the frame from the shadows.

The bright red he draped and the old yellow of the surrounding environment formed a sharp contrast, and at the same time, added a neutral and feminine perception to the man's masculine appearance.

This is exactly what made the director and producer at a loss before.

Is this really good?

The man wrapped in the red cloak is like a bright red flame burning fiercely, as if he is about to ignite everything old around him in the next moment.

At the same time, he is like a demon in a fairy tale, suddenly appearing from a colorful alien world into the ordinary and vulgar reality, reversing gender, and enchanting all living beings.

Will Stanson felt it was really too strange, his brows were tightly wrinkled, forming a deep "chuan" character between his forehead.

"I really don't understand what Chen is doing." Even if the director didn't call cut, the old cowboy from Texas couldn't help but question in a low voice on the side: "Is this kind of weird sissy good-looking? This kind of person, if he appeared in my hometown, he would definitely be cleaned up, let him know how to be a man."

However, Director Chris Weitz didn't answer. Dakota Fanning didn't hear a word either.

The girl looked at the picture on the monitor, staring intently, her mouth slightly open, and a little crystal water appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Only one sentence in her brain was turning back and forth. If his poster in this styling was posted in the bedroom, every morning when going to school, she must kiss him before leaving.

Chen Nuo's hair was messy, his eye sockets were slightly red, his eyes were full of bloodshot streaks, full of fatigue and weariness, as if he had some serious illness, so that his way of walking was also crooked and slanted.

Of course, if that red cloth naked man's neutral feminine style was the inspiration he got from Justin Bieber by the pool, and he didn't create this way of walking, it was also referenced from a guy called GD who became popular in China, Japan, South Korea, and Europe and America in the later generations.

The effect of the combination of the two is,

He walked to the steps in a state later known as "sickly sweet," in the shadows, with a desperate look, looking up at the sky at 45 degrees.

While the sadness flowed backward into a river,

He loosened his hands, and the red blanket draped on his body also slid over his well-proportioned body like river water, falling at his ankles.

Because of a layer of special white foundation, Chen Nuo's upper body now revealed a kind of unreal jade luster, like the most exquisite porcelain, after careful polishing and glazing,

And when it suddenly appeared in the lens,

Almost all the women on the scene, like Ivanka at the beginning, swallowed saliva together.

At the same time, Kristen Stewart, Ashley Greene, and Dakota Fanning, these green girls from 25 to 15, covered their mouths together, blocking the scream that was about to be emitted in their throats.
