Chapter 404: Lvmaozi
Thank God
Everything is about to end.
Although the end of *Twilight* is definitely not a good thing for Summit Entertainment. However, Luo Bo Friedman still wants to say "thank god".
Even as a Jew, he is really scared.
He just wants to sit on the CEO's throne and enjoy his old age, not wanting to toss anymore. Anyway, the *Twilight* IP is enough for them to eat for a lifetime.
Think about the torture of the past two or three years.
From heaven to hell, then from hell to the human world, falling from the top of the mountain to the cliff, and then climbing up step by step with difficulty. In this process, he used every means possible, and kicked his once close friends into the endless abyss.
Who is to blame for all this?
Looking at the Chinese boy who just walked in not far away, he is still as harmless as ever, no different from a few years ago. Young, handsome, sincere face.
Who would have thought that this is a bastard who is more cunning than a fox, greedier than a hungry wolf, and more vicious than a scorpion...
Can only be glad that this bastard was not born in Gaza, otherwise Bibi's days would definitely not be very good.
The only thing Luo Bo is still satisfied with Chen Nuo now is that he never points fingers at the crew's employment. That's all.
Friedman said to the middle-aged director wearing glasses beside him: "Bill, he's here."
Without him saying it, Bill Condon had long noticed the black-haired young man coming all the way.
He couldn't help but notice.
Wearing a pair of sunglasses, the golden sunshine of Rio de Janeiro spilled on his face, feeling that the contours were thinner than what was seen in the film.
It took about five or six minutes for him to walk from the door to him and Friedman.
Because at this barbecue party before the start of filming, everyone who was chatting in twos and threes just now all surrounded him, and everyone was greeting him.
This is treatment that even the producers beside him don't have.
As a result, Bill Condon understood immediately. Before Chen Nuo walked close completely, he took the initiative to step forward a few steps, stretched out his hand, and said: "Hello, I am Bill Condon, very happy to see you, Chen."
People and people are really particular about smell.
Even if this new director was incomparably strange to Chen Nuo, but as soon as they met, he found that he liked this guy a little.
Perhaps it was this middle-aged and elderly man with short black hair and white plastic glasses frames, who had a scholarly temperament, reminding him of his teachers at the film academy.
And in the process of their communication later, he found that his feeling was right.
"You didn't come to the script reading these few days..."
"I asked others, and they all said you never participate in reading. I am very surprised."
"I have watched the entire *Twilight* series back and forth many times, and your performance left a very deep impression on me. I completely disagree with those film critics who say you are 'insulting the audience', I think you have ideas."
"So I thought those performances were the result of your discussion with the director group. But I didn't expect it to be your own creation. This broke my 20 years of film common sense..."
Hearing this, Chen Nuo's impression of this director became even better.
Then he saw Kristen Stewart and her boyfriend Luo Bote Pattinson, and Ashley Greene walking into the yard together.
As soon as Ashley Greene saw him, she subconsciously walked a few steps quickly towards this side, but stopped immediately.
Chen Nuo smiled at her,
And focused his attention back on Bill Condon's conversation.
"I told myself, this is a genius, and the thing you need to do is give him room to perform, rather than barking orders at him..."
Chen Nuo only hated that Luo Bo Friedman slipped away too fast just now, otherwise he really wanted to ask, where did he find such a clever person?
From Catherine Hardwicke in *Twilight 1*, to David Slade in *The Twilight Saga: Eclipse*, which director spoke so nicely? What is a good director, this is a good director.
"... Luo Bo asked me to direct the last episode of this great series, it was because I had directed *Chicago* and *Dreamgirls* before. Have you seen these two films?"
Chen Nuo naturally said: "Seen them, but a bit forgotten."
Bill Condon didn't know if he saw through it, anyway he laughed and said: "I am called an emotional master by the newspapers, my only advantage is that I shoot romance films. And the reason Luo Bo asked me to come is that he wants *Twilight* to have a romantic ending in the end."
"In this regard, you need to cooperate with Kristen."
"I'll just say it clearly, Chen, I want you and Kristen to show sweet love, so that young girls all over the United States and even the world will be satisfied."
"So, there are some bold intimate scenes in the script. Before filming starts, I want to know what your opinion is on this?"
Bill Condon looked at him very seriously.
Chen Nuo also thought very seriously.
Although he didn't participate in the reading, he had seen the script.
The first half of *Twilight 4* starts from Edward and Bella's wedding ceremony, and then the two go to Rio de Janeiro for their honeymoon together. They are always being sticky in front of the camera, constantly sprinkling sugar.
There are several bed scenes in different locations, not to mention kissing. From bed to the sea, a full quarter of the script is the two people's intimate scenes.
And then in the process, they accidentally created a person, thus leading to the following story, Bella gets pregnant, gives birth to a half-human half-vampire daughter Renesmee, triggering the Volturi family's pursuit.
In general, describing this fourth part as a brain-dead romance film is no problem. Why did he never read in *Twilight*? Because he was afraid he would vomit while reading!
But today is not the past.
Once he thought of the debt on his body, if the box office of *Twilight 4* didn't meet expectations, the hearts of the Bank of China leaders who lent him more than 100 million USD would stop,
Chen Nuo decided to say the concerns he had hidden for a long time.
"Bill, I do have something I want to tell you, it's like this, you know... um, there is a term for this situation, called 'lvmaozi' (cuckold). You know so much about romance scenes, I don't know if you know this term... I am very worried..."
On the set under the night sky, the charcoal fire crackled, and the grease of the barbecue dripped onto the fire, emitting bursts of fragrance. LED light strings flickered between the pine trees, reflecting the smiling faces of the crowd.
Drinking cold Brahma beer, eating Brazilian barbecue, in the pleasant warm breeze of Rio de Janeiro in May, everyone in the *Twilight 4* crew enjoyed this rare cozy time to the fullest.
Except for Luo Bote Pattinson.
He held a barbecue plate, eating while staring at a few people not far away.
That yellow-skinned monkey was in the middle, surrounded by several women. There was the sexy and alluring Ashley Greene, the petite and cute Dakota Fanning, and his girlfriend - Kristen Stewart.
They surrounded him inside, just like stars surrounding the sun, and with the opening and closing of his mouth, bursts of light laughter erupted from time to time.
Bitches, all of them are vain bitches!
Luo Bote Pattinson cursed fiercely in his heart.
Every time he saw Stewart open her mouth and laugh, his heart felt like it was being gouged by a knife.
He bit the meat in his mouth forcefully, bite after bite, as if he were biting someone's meat.
Over the past few years, he had fantasized countless times, if this "chingchong" didn't exist, how good the world would be.
He wouldn't have the male lead stolen, he would become the Edward that thousands of girls were obsessed with, he would perfectly transition from *Harry Potter* to *Twilight*, he wouldn't have to suffer that kind of humiliation time and time again.
All of this should have been his!
"That, Luo Bote, do you have time to chat?"
At this time, a voice suddenly came from the side, interrupting his train of thought.
Luo Bote Pattinson turned his head to look, it was the new director of *Twilight 4*, Bill Condon.
Luo Luo Bote heart was happy, although this director didn't have many works, each one had a good reputation, and he was even nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay at the Oscars two years ago.
In these few days of script reading, he hadn't seen Condon chat with any actor alone.
Except for the male and female leads, he should be the third one.
What did he come to chat with him about? Plot or acting?
Or did he discover his advantages in the script reading? Preparing to give him more scenes?
Thinking of this, Luo Bote revealed a somewhat reserved smile, "Of course, director."
Bill Condon said expressionlessly: "It's like this, Luo Bote, actually there are no scenes for you in Brazil, I want you to leave tomorrow."
Luo Bote Pattinson was stunned all of a sudden, "What?"
Bill Condon said: "You should have heard clearly. Anyway, when there are scenes for you, I will find someone to call you."
Luo Bote Pattinson's handsome face was full of bewilderment: "No, I don't understand, director... what exactly is going on? What did I do wrong?"
"You didn't do anything wrong, I just don't want you to disturb my filming here."
"Director, no, you can't do this, why!?" Luo Bote Pattinson shouted.
Bill Condon glanced at him.
That expression, if Chen Nuo saw it, he would definitely feel it was really like a teacher at the film academy, when seeing a passerby asking for leave, saying why can Liu Yifei not attend class for three years and I can't ask for leave for one day! At this time, the teacher would show this kind of expression that was 30% impatient and 70% unhappy.
Bill Condon said: "OK, I'll give you a reason. Do you know what 'lvmaozi' means..."
Chen Nuo just wanted Bill Condon, this guy who felt very good at talking, to communicate with Luo Bote Pattinson.
Mr. Luo Bote had been a bit hostile to him for the past few years.
Americans are open, but they are also men. Like him, he has many girlfriends, but even if he let Tong Liya perform a kissing scene with Chen Sicheng, he wouldn't be willing.
So, every time he filmed intimate scenes with Kristen, Mr. Luo Bote would supervise the battle on the spot, and Chen Nuo didn't feel there was any problem.
But this time it was different, not only because the bed scenes, kissing scenes, and nude scenes might be a bit excessive, but also because he really didn't have time to delay this time.
It was already May 21st, and there was a little more than 1 month until *Inception* was released on June 30th.
He had agreed with Nolan to enter the promotion a week in advance to help the crew accept TV station or radio interviews. That is to say, he had countless scenes to shoot, but he only had one month, which could be said to be not a moment to delay.
Under these circumstances, whether he could fully invest and whether he could reduce the number of retakes was the key to whether he could catch up with the promotional period.
But it happened that there were so many intimate scenes between him and Kristen in this film. And he wasn't a particularly experienced single man who could fully adapt to the cuckold observing on the side, more or less a bit unable to let go.
Bill Condon asked him for opinions, so he mentioned it, to see if he could get understanding from people in advance, so that he could play freely and not come to stare.
He didn't know that Bill Condon was like many of his mentors at the film academy. He was a person who looked at people to serve dishes. Speaking gently and politely, that depends on the person!
So, he was chatting happily with several female friends he hadn't seen for a long time, when suddenly he heard a loud "clatter", and then, a series of clattering sounds, and several exclamations.
He turned his head to look, only to see the director lying on the ground with his limbs spread, beside him was an overturned table, and the ground was a mess.
Beside him was the cuckold Mr. Luo Bote Pattinson whom he asked the director to communicate with, only to see him clenching his fists, like an angry bull, roaring: "Fuck you!"
The whole scene quieted down, only the sizzling sound of barbecue grease dripping into the charcoal fire could be heard. Everyone looked at Luo Bote Pattinson in a daze.
Subsequently, Kristen Stewart let out a scream of fear: "Luo Bote, what are you doing? Are you crazy? Luo Bote!"
"Shut up. You bitch!"
*Twilight 4* started filming after this dramatic scene.
No one mentioned this matter again afterwards.
Although everyone was curious about what exactly happened and why Mr. Luo Bote was so crazy, no one dared to ask.
In fact, what the truth was no longer important, afterwards, naturally there would be thousands of versions of the "truth" circulating in Hollywood.
Mr. Pattinson's punch could be said to have doomed his ending. There are actually quite a few stars who hit people on the set, but not many who hit directors. In the future, without a director who has practiced free fighting, who would dare to use such a person?
So at this point, Mr. Luo Luo Bote ending was almost doomed.
Luo Bo Friedman also announced his departure from the crew at the first time.
This made Chen Nuo feel a bit unbearable.
Although, in this way, the effect he wanted was achieved. Indeed, no one watched his bed scenes with the female lead anymore.
But wouldn't it be too cruel! What is called cutting off the roots, he felt that this was what he was doing.
Stealing someone's scenes, playing with someone's woman, and ruining someone's future.
No grudges, just that he heard him scold him a few times in private about things like "chingchong pingpong".
It's just skin color discrimination, isn't it very normal in America?
Why do it so absolutely!? Can't you just endure it and it will pass?
Alas, but since such good conditions have been created, don't waste them.
In the subsequent filming process, he fully invested himself.
Thanks to learning a lot of bed scene filming techniques from Charlize Theron in the previous play, after the initial running-in, he quickly found the feeling with Mr. Luo Luo Bote girlfriend.
He found that shooting this kind of scene means you must let go, don't want face, otherwise it's called unprofessional!
Just like this scene by the sea, the waves under the night sky hit the reefs, and the lighting engineer used incandescent lamps to create a moonlight effect.
He stood shirtless in the waist-deep seawater, his hands supporting Kristen's buttocks, letting her wrap her legs around his waist. The two lips met, kissing fiercely.
At the director's request, the girl had nothing on her upper body, only a chest sticker, sticking tightly to his body.
Below, there was only a bikini.
In this posture, Kristen happened to be sitting on a branch of a tree branch
But fortunately, after these few days, Chen Nuo's skin also became thicker, treating himself as a kind person, providing a free seat. He didn't care about that much anymore.
A man in his 20s, isn't his body good like this?
This is a long shot.
From the monitor screen, you can only see the upper bodies of the two of them.
While kissing, Chen Nuo suddenly found something wrong, Kristen's hand facing the camera was holding his head, and the other hand didn't know when it reached into the seawater.
This woman is actually playing with fire in the water!!!
"Are you crazy? Let go!" Chen Nuo pretended to be intimate, put his mouth to Kristen's ear and whispered.
Kristen Stewart didn't answer him. Just when Chen Nuo was hesitating whether he should take the initiative to call stop, she stretched out her hand and wrapped it around his neck.
Forget it, it's not the first time being taken advantage of by this woman, Chen Nuo, as a professional actor, continued to perform the process of Edward releasing his nature with his newlywed wife in the sea.
Agreed it was just a performance,
Chen Nuo suddenly felt Kristen's buttocks twist, adjusting an angle.
Damn, when did this woman take off his pants!?
Chen Nuo almost screamed, completely unable to hold on, and angrily questioned in Kristen's ear: "This is rape, do you know that!?"
Kristen said while kissing him: "Then do you want to call the police?"
Damn, Chen Nuo found this sentence so familiar.
Angry is angry, but Chen Nuo continued, he kissed Kristen's cheek, cursing in a low voice: "Fuck you, I swear I will."
Bill Condon's eyes were shining behind the monitor at this time.
Too perfect, this is what he wanted!
I saw that in the seawater like moonlight, a man and a woman were so lingering and sweet, the two were really like water and milk blending, following the waves, making people feel relaxed and happy, every move, making people feel immersive.
Bill Condon swore that young girls all over the United States would put their hands together for this beautiful scene of taking the sea as a bed, full of longing.
How romantic.
Who doesn't long to have one with their lover in the deep night seawater here?
Who said Kristen Stewart has no acting skills!?
Obviously, it was that mad dog on the scene before, which not only affected Chen, but also affected her.
Look at her appearance, isn't she a wife who is deeply in love and is releasing her true self with her husband during the honeymoon? It is so real and infectious, showing acting skills like an Oscar queen. Look at that little expression, tsk tsk tsk.
Touching the corner of his mouth that was still hurting, Bill Condon felt that this punch was not taken in vain.
In the sea,
Kristen hugged Chen Nuo tightly, in the ups and downs of the waves, intermittently said: "... Relax... The director said we should perform more realistically... You have to cooperate with me!"
Chen Nuo was unhappy in his heart, retorting: "... But are you worthy of Luo Bote like this!"
"... Do you know why he was so angry that day?"
At this scene, the photographer was more than ten meters away on the shore, and there was no sound collector in the sea. No one could see what they were doing, and no one could hear their conversation.
"Why?"
So, Kristen's barely audible answer quickly drifted away in the night wind, only Chen Nuo heard it alone. "... He has some strange habits, he thought Director Bill discovered his secret. Oh."
"............"
Bill Condon was too regretful, everything was perfect, but suddenly at this time, a dull expression appeared on Chen Nuo's face, which looked very abrupt in the lens.
He had to shout: "Cut!"
And then shouted with a megaphone: "Chen, it's a pity, don't be dazed! Let's do this last part again! By the way, do you two need a break?"
"No need, director, let's continue."
He heard Kristen Stewart say loudly and professionally.
