Chapter 430: Who is in the room

"Hahahahahaha."

The laughter echoed in the night, attracting more people's attention, people who were originally chatting indoors, such as Ryan Lei Nuozi and Natalie Portman, also walked out with wine glasses and came towards this side.

"... But in the end, I still went on stage, sigh, no language can describe my mood at that moment."

"That jury president is really an asshole. That award is also very, very disgusting." Emma Stone said loudly, "I wanted to tell you when I saw the news, let them go to hell. You deserve a better award."

Old Martin nodded and said: "Indeed very unprofessional, this should be Ang Lee's dereliction of duty."

"Why did you go up?" Keira Knightley interrupted, "If I were you, I wouldn't go up to receive the award."

Chen Nuo looked at her and said: "Wait until you have won an award before saying."

"Hahahaha." The laughter erupted again.

Jennifer Lawrence laughed and said: "Chen, are you performing a live talk show for us?"

Keira Knightley revealed an unbelievable expression, "Please, Chen, I am speaking for you! I am on your side! Also, I have won awards, I have won the Saturn Award, the British Academy Film Award, and the MTV Movie Award!"

Chen Nuo revealed a surprised expression, turned his head and asked Nolan: "Really? Christopher, did you know?"

Nolan smiled and nodded.

Chen Nuo revealed a look of realization: "So that's it, I thought you let her play the heroine just because of her looks and figure."

Keira Knightley raised her fist angrily, but Chen Nuo smiled and blew her a flying kiss.

The atmosphere by the pool became even more cheerful.

"Are you really not considering hosting the Oscars next year?" Natalie Portman smiled, "I think hosting is absolutely the second talent you have ignored."

"I agree."

"I think so too."

"Chen, you absolutely should go."

"I think you can even go host a talk show."

"Or stand-up comedy."

"I will definitely buy a ticket to watch, hahahahaha."

Facing the rhythm brought by Natalie Portman, listening to Little Li Zi and other peers teasing each other, Chen Nuo smiled and said: "Thank you, but forget it."

"Why?" Someone asked with a smile.

Chen Nuo said: "I don't like to steal other people's rice bowls."

Ryan Lei Nuozi said unbelievably: "Really?"

Chen Nuo said seriously: "Do you know why your wife wants to divorce you? Ryan? It's because you want too much."

"Hahahahahahaha."

In the laughter, Ryan pretended to rush over to fight Chen Nuo, but was hugged by Leonardo who was laughing.

Chen Nuo gestured with a kung fu move in place, making the laughter even louder.

"You two should really cooperate on a comedy movie."

Martin Scorsese smiled: "Best to add Keira, I think if the three of you cooperate on a movie like *The Hangover*, maybe it can sell 3 billion."

Watching the farce happening in the field, Guli Nazha stood on the side, and couldn't help but laugh.

Her gaze also didn't forget to pay attention to every guest in the field.

Today's party was fully responsible by her from beginning to end.

From contacting the party company to choosing the overall party plan, and then to price comparison and screening, specific implementation, every link was decided by her personally, and the size problems encountered were also solved and overcome by her.

This process was of course not easy. This was a completely new culture, a completely new experience, and for her, it was also completely new work content.

She worked for three full days with Allison to finalize all processes and arrangements.

But in the end, when she saw guests of all colors enjoying the food and drinks she prepared, and saw everything proceeding in an orderly manner according to the original plan, the sense of achievement and satisfaction in her heart also arose spontaneously.

At this time, she was on the periphery of the crowd, and her observation of the whole field was subconscious. It wasn't that she was particularly concerned about anything, just wanted to ensure that the party she planned was proceeding smoothly.

Up to now, although there were one or two small problems, such as the restroom on the first floor having to be temporarily closed because of a water outage. Later it was found to be caused by the aging of the pipe interface, and it was being repaired now. Other than that, the whole party was running quite smoothly.

Among them, the role played by her boss, the host of the party, had to be mentioned.

With him there, it made her feel more at ease.

At this time, she noticed that the two Chinese women on the periphery of the crowd had returned.

One was Zhou Xun who hadn't appeared, and Li Bingbing who had just left and returned.

They didn't know when they came, and at this time they were also laughing at the crosstalk between Chen Nuo and Lei Nuozi.

Zhou Xun grinned, her eyes curved with laughter.

And Li Bingbing... Guli Nazha felt that this woman was just trying hard to blend into this atmosphere, and didn't really find it interesting.

Hmph, hypocritical woman.

Before she thought she was friends with the boss, but it turned out she was just pretending to be very familiar to test her own words, really too treacherous.

"Report, it's done, the restroom has water." A voice came from the headset.

She pressed the talk button on the headset and said in a low voice: "Copy that."

At this time, another woman she didn't have a good impression of suddenly said: "If you and Ryan really have such a day, prepare to film a *Hangover* together, our Fox is very willing to invest."

Guli Nazha didn't like Wendi Deng,

Although she didn't do anything to her.

But she just felt that this woman was very scheming and very scary.

Clearly it was an invitation to them to participate in the party together, but after she made a phone call, someone brought her brand-new custom evening dresses and various jewelry, as well as makeup artists who arrived immediately.

It gave people the feeling that it was premeditated.

However, at this moment, when these words were said, Guli Nazha also had to admit that it had a feeling of being rich and imposing, and connecting with her identity, it was even more rich and imposing.

But the reaction in the field was far beyond Guli Nazha's expectation.

Not a single person echoed.

Except for the sound of laughter coming from inside the room, and the original music, the original lively atmosphere suddenly vanished, no one spoke, no one answered, and no one looked at her.

Guli Nazha saw Wendi Deng's face turn red visibly.

This made her feel embarrassed for her.

But why?

Guli Nazha was first puzzled, and then suddenly remembered something.

That was a conversation she accidentally heard when she was preparing with the party company.

She was quite angry after hearing it at the time, feeling that this was clearly slandering.

However, at this moment, she felt that Wendi Deng might be the one who wore the wrong costume, abruptly breaking into a stage that didn't belong to her.

The "Fox is very willing to invest" in her mouth, in front of this group of true core players, should appear so frivolous, harsh, and even a bit... ridiculous.

Thus, everyone put away the previous laughter, whether men, women, old, or young, all revealed a faint polite smile.

Including

She saw that her boss, who was gentle, humorous, full of charm, and could make the place where he was become relaxed and pleasant, also revealed a sarcastic and indifferent expression, exactly the same as Leonardo DiCaprio beside him.

It seemed that just as the old man said in the words she heard at the time:

"These Hollywood stars, usually look very nice, but in fact, they all have a natural sense of superiority in their bones."

"For outsiders, especially when facing people outside their circle, trying to invade and enter their field, they will reveal their true colors like devils."

"No matter how much money you have, how much fame you have, as long as your skin color and your profession cannot get their respect, you will know how sarcastic and indifferent they are."

"They are all a bunch of racist bastards, this is their true face."

"Don't be fooled by them, idiot."

Just when Guli Nazha felt a bit at a loss because she discovered the truth.

A duck-like voice suddenly shouted happily, relieving the awkward atmosphere.

"Hey, everyone, I suddenly have an inspiration, let's play a game. How many actors do we have here? If you are an actor, please raise your hand."

"What do you want to do?"

"Come on, Leo." Quentin Tarantino clapped his hands, "Are you an actor?"

"Of course."

"Chen?"

When both Chen Nuo and Little Li Zi raised their hands, the rest of the people in the field cooperated and raised their hands.

Li Bingbing's gaze moved away from Wendi Deng's face at this time, suddenly feeling that many things in her heart collapsed in an instant, but more things were even clearer at this moment.

No wonder *Snow Flower and the Secret Fan* could only invite Hugh Jackman to play a cameo male lead in the end, and could only let Nicole Kidman help with promotion. Perhaps, except for these two Australians, the actors in the core mainstream circle of Hollywood, it was not that she didn't want to, but she couldn't do it.

Attention returned to the front, Li Bingbing saw Emma Stone opposite raise her hand, the young Canadian actress next to the Cannes best actress raised her hand, whispered to Emma, and laughed in a low voice after whispering, looking relaxed and natural, as if she was very interested in the surroundings.

Jiang Wen on the other side didn't raise his hand, and Zhou Yun beside him didn't raise her hand either.

However, Keira Knightley and Ellen Page beside Zhou Xun both raised their hands. The blonde girl beside them, Quentin's female companion, was hesitating, but finally raised her hand low.

Besides that, Luo Bote Downey Jr. on the periphery, Natalie Portman, Julianne Moore, Colin Firth who had just come out of the room, all raised their hands.

Zhou Xun beside her also raised her hand without hesitation.

Li Bingbing also raised it. But didn't dare to be too high, looking at it, it felt like waving.

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5 OK, we have a total of 13 actors here now, wow, looking at you, I am excited, okay, I decided to invite you to film an *Ocean's Thirteen* with me."

Li Bingbing's heart jumped suddenly after hearing this.

But immediately laughter erupted.

Someone smiled: "Good idea. But maybe it needs to sell 5 billion USD to break even, you need to let it attract some Martians to pay and walk into the cinema."

In the laughter, Li Bingbing also reacted, Quentin was just joking.

"Unless you lower your salary a bit, Luo Bote." Someone said.

Luo Bote Downey Jr. who spoke before said disdainfully: "Me? Please, what does this count as, if Chen and Leo's salary can be lowered by half, then maybe you only need 2 billion."

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed again.

Quentin smiled while saying, "This is of course a joke. I just suddenly wanted to do a survey, thank you all for your cooperation. Now, listen to me, among you, those who were forced to embark on the path of an actor, please put your hands down."

Li Bingbing looked left and right, no one put their hands down.

Quentin said again: "Some people think that being an actor only needs a bit of luck, to be a bit prettier, put your hands down."

No one moved.

"Then is there anyone who thinks that the profession of an actor actually doesn't need too much brain, just listen to the director?"

Still no one put their hands down. "OK." Quentin grinned, "Those who have never sacrificed very important things for filming, such as family, health, or love, please put your hands down."

Li Bingbing heard this, and saw two people hesitate and put their hands down. They were Jennifer Lawrence and the blonde girl who came with Quentin.

The rest of the people didn't move.

Li Bingbing also hesitated for a while, but still kept her hand raised.

"Those who have never doubted at any moment that they are not this material, please put your hands down."

No one put their hands down this time.

"Those who have never experienced the pain of failure, humiliation, or being rejected in auditions during their acting career, please put your hands down."

No one put their hands down.

"Those who have never felt shame, fear, or even doubted life in front of the camera, please put your hands down."

No one put their hands down.

"Very good, very good." Quentin spread his hands, "Now, those who have their hands raised, you are all people who have experienced failure, questioning, and self-denial, and have also sacrificed a lot for the path of acting."

"Then, the most important reason why you can persist until now is because you love this line of acting, please put your hands down."

Li Bingbing put her hand down without thinking much after hearing this. But was shocked to find that except for her, only Emma Stone put her hand down.

The rest of the people were smiling, and didn't move at all.

"Because being an actor can enjoy fame, red carpets, and fans' cheers, please put your hands down."

None.

"Because of money, please..."

Before Quentin finished speaking, only saw a "swish", all the raised arms disappeared.

He was stunned on the spot all of a sudden.

Afterwards, those who put down their hands looked at each other, and then burst into violent laughter all of a sudden.

"Hahaha."

"Haha."

"Hahahahahahaha."

Everyone was laughing until they were leaning forward and backward.

Watching Zhou Xun beside her laughing until tears were almost coming out, Li Bingbing couldn't laugh much. However, looking left and right, it seemed no one noticed she put down her hand halfway, so she followed and laughed together.

"Okay, very real." Quentin Tarantino said helplessly, "However, before this, I originally thought you would be different."

"Me?" Chen Nuo pointed to his nose, looking surprised, "Why would I be different? Don't I eat?"

"Hahahahahaha."

Li Bingbing saw that even the serious and rigid Nolan and his wife who didn't smile, as well as Martin Scorsese who had been whispering with Jiang Wen, would concentrate on listening when Chen Nuo spoke, and would often laugh because of his words.

She couldn't help but sigh silently in her heart.

So many Chinese actors, including her, have been trying to break into Hollywood one after another, but have never found the door. Who could have imagined that a teenager suddenly appeared? And his success, is it really a coincidence?

"I have one last question." Quentin said, "I want to ask, if there is a newcomer actor who is about to enter the industry now, and she wants to make some name for herself in Hollywood, what advice would you give her."

"Come, Chen?" He turned to Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo looked at Margot Robbie thoughtfully, seeing the girl looking nervous and excited, he smiled, turned his head and said: "Leo, what do you think?"

Little Li Zi shrugged and said: "Curiosity?"

"Indeed. Without curiosity, without curiosity about the character, about human nature, about every emotion, without this, everything you act is a puppet." Chen Nuo said in agreement, "My answer is also this."

"Hehehe."

Chen Nuo spread his hands helplessly, and said: "Don't look at me like that, director. I am still just a newcomer. But I can help you ask. Julianne?"

"Self-discipline." Julianne Moore answered.

"Patience." Cate Blanchett continued.

"Strong desire for expression." Ryan Lei Nuozi said.

"And a little bit of madness." Natalie Portman said.

"And the courage to accept countless failures, and still be willing to continue queuing for auditions the next day."

Finally, Luo Bote Downey Jr. rarely said a serious nonsense.

Afterwards, Chen Nuo looked at the future Harley Quinn, Golden Globe best actress, Barbie and smiled, saying: "That's it."

Wendi Deng found an excuse and left very early.

Quentin was quite proud of this, but Chen Nuo didn't take it to heart.

The party entered the final stage, instead feeling even more lively, because Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese, and Jiang Wen, Quentin started discussing the future direction of movies.

Martin Scorsese, famous for telling stories, started to think that the future would be the era of 3D movies and special effects as king, so he directed *Hugo*, preparing to open the door to a new world.

And Christopher Nolan, the British director who established his status in the film industry because of directing a phenomenal 3D movie, held a reserved opinion on this.

This has to be said to have a bit of comedic color.

The actors were divided into two factions, expressing their opinions from time to time.

Chen Nuo and Quentin and Little Li Zi didn't participate, but were talking about their own things on the side.

Quentin asked: "Do you think our movie should be 2D or 3D?"

"2D." Chen Nuo said.

"Oh? You are also standing on Christopher's side?"

Chen Nuo shook his head and said: "No, I just feel that in this movie, 3D cannot bring us any beautiful effects, its existence will only distract the audience's attention, let them wear heavy glasses, thereby ignoring the story within their eyes."

Quentin nodded thoughtfully: "You think our movie is different from *Inception*?"

"Completely different."

"Leo, what do you think?"

Leonardo looked like he was answering perfunctorily: "I think Chen makes sense."

Quentin touched his nose and said: "Okay, then our opinions reached a consensus, I think so too. Chen, I thought you would say 3D."

Chen Nuo chuckled: "Did I tell you that next year at the Shanghai Film Festival, I will be the jury president?"

"What? Jury president?"

"Really or fake?"

Chen Nuo laughed: "Do I have a need to lie? So, don't think I don't understand movies, OK?"

"Newbee." Quentin smiled and gave a thumbs up.

Little Li Zi smiled: "Actually, I think you are most suitable to be a host, then a doorman, and finally a judge. I might have to call your organizing committee and give an opinion."

Chen Nuo was about to retort, Quentin interrupted: "Wait, Chen, you wouldn't be thinking of letting our movie participate in next year's Shanghai Film Festival, right?"

Chen Nuo nodded: "That's exactly what I'm thinking, what do you think?"

"What month is the Shanghai Film Festival?"

"June."

Quentin shook his head: "Definitely can't catch up, I advise you to dispel this idea."

"Then when exactly can we start filming? I can't wait." Little Li Zi asked.

Quentin said: "Soon, we are hot goods in the market now, I just want to sign a good contract for all of us. I believe there will be news before the end of October, my expected start time is March-April next year. So... Chen, you might have to lose weight in an orderly manner."

Little Li Zi smiled: "Ah oh, looks like someone is in big trouble."

Chen Nuo sighed and said: "How many pounds do you think I should lose?"

"Don't know." Quentin said straightforwardly, "For the character, you don't know less than I do, you just lose until you are satisfied."

Chen Nuo imagined what a Chinese worker in the Qing Dynasty should look like, he pinched the belly fat he was sitting on the chair again, couldn't help but sigh again, and said: "Damn."

Li Bingbing watched the three men talking from afar, cheered herself up a lot, and finally walked over slowly.

The final result was quite unexpected to her, Quentin actually had an impression of her putting down her hand in the "like being an actor" link, so he gave her an audition spot very readily.

Chen Nuo remained silent throughout.

Although he didn't feel that Li Bingbing was an actor because of "liking", just as he wasn't an actor because of money. The two of them should perhaps be reversed.

However, he also didn't have the idea of clarifying the misunderstanding for Quentin.

Because from a work perspective, is there anything wrong with Li Bingbing actively striving for a role? No, right? So, if she could pass Quentin's audition, then why not?

Just like Zhou Xun, although in his eyes, she might be a better actor than Li Bingbing, and her relationship with him was better, but Zhou Xun didn't strive for it herself, and he would never overstep.

This could also be considered his sense of proportion as a mature man.

The guests left one after another around 10:30 PM, after all, they were all decent people with families, and he didn't call any young models, so naturally, they wouldn't stay long.

However, these people who had enjoyed countless extravagant parties in Hollywood seemed to have a good impression of his light party themed "casual" tonight.

It was indeed quite casual, no matter what you did, except for Wendi Deng, no one in the audience wore evening dresses or suits, very comfortable.

Chen Nuo finally faced the request of the crowd, and had to smile and promise to hold another one next year.

After 11 PM, the guests were basically gone.

Including Emma Stone who also left. It could be seen that the girl wanted to stay, but the Big Cousin obviously didn't know the relationship between them, and there was no heavy drinking tonight, so she couldn't make it like last time, pulling Jennifer Lawrence to bed together, so she had to leave.

Zhou Xun and Li Bingbing also left, Chen Nuo of course was also embarrassed to keep them. Although his house had many rooms, it could completely accommodate them, but people wouldn't think so. When leaving, Li Bingbing hugged him and whispered a "thank you" in his ear, which sounded quite sincere.

Chen Nuo didn't think much either.

After sending people away, Chen Nuo was also a bit tired, greeted Guli Nazha, let the girl rest early, and then went upstairs back to his own room.

Guli Nazha tried hard to deal with the aftermath with the party company, and with the hired security team. Checked the house inside and out together, finally confirmed there was no problem, and after sending people out the door, only felt exhausted and weak, preparing to return to the room to rest.

At this time, only she, Brother Linghu, and her boss were left in the mansion.

But Brother Linghu never slept in the main house, in other words, at this time, there should only be her and the boss in the house.

However, when she went upstairs to prepare to enter the room, she heard a sound coming from the end of the corridor.

It was a man who seemed to be talking to someone, the sound was very loud at first, sounding a bit helpless.

"WTF... hide... I said... apple..."

"Don't! Don't... put it on..."

Afterwards, the sound became smaller and smaller.

At the same time, Guli Nazha's heartbeat also became faster and faster.

Who is in the room?
