Seeing Tang Ni’s expression, he waved a hand in front of him and said, \"Hello?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ni then spoke up: \"Chen, how old are you this year? 25 or 26?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo said: \"I turn 26 in March.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you are still 25 years and 10 months old,\" Tang Ni said with a complex expression. \"Marlon Brando was 27 when he was nominated for Best Actor in 1952 for *A Streetcar Named Desire*. I was already 29 when I was first nominated for Best Actor for *The Aviator*. You are only slightly older than Ryan Gosling and Heath Ledger were when they were first nominated; you rank sixth or seventh on the list of the youngest nominees in history.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ni paused, then added: \"Of course, if you can win the award, you will be the youngest Oscar Best Actor in history. More than three years younger than Adrien Brody in 2003.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, Chen Nuo said in surprise: \"You remember it very clearly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ni shrugged and said naturally: \"When I was first nominated in 2005, I looked at a lot of data, because if I could have won that year, I would have set an Oscar record. The media was crazy back then, and so was I. Of course, the final result brought me back to reality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo rubbed his nose, not knowing what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ni didn't seem to want him to respond, and continued: \"Seven years have passed, and this is my third nomination. Two million dollars, damn, I know I might be crazy, because Warner is right; the nomination doesn't really mean anything to me. It’s not worth it for a chance that is impossible to win. I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo knew what to say this time and comforted him: \"You can't say that; you acted very well in *J. Edgar*.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ni blinked: \"You've seen it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, I've seen it.\" Chen Nuo didn't even blink. Recalling the film reviews he had read on Douban, he said: \"Aside from your old-age makeup, I liked your expression of J. Edgar’s emotions in it. It was very tender and broke people's prejudices against gay politicians.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ni smiled: \"No need to comfort me, I know my flaws... By the way, do you know when I started wanting to film a movie with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ni smiled and said: \"When we first met. '06, Cannes, *My Blueberry Nights*. After I finished watching it, I was wondering if I could learn something from you. I wasn't lying back then; I really liked your performance in it. Even now, I still feel that movie is the peak of your career. What you showed in it is exactly what I lack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he spread his hands again and said earnestly: \"But I absolutely never expected that just six years later, you would be nominated for Best Actor at the Oscars. You have created history once again as an Asian actor. Congratulations, Chen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo also said earnestly: \"Thank you, and congratulations to you, Leo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, I think you don't have to give up. You're not like me. Commercial films like *Inception* have a 0% win rate for acting awards. I thank God just for having a nomination. You can definitely try a little harder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am also an Academy member. If I had voting rights, I would definitely vote for you this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonardo DiCaprio laughed and said: \"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"100%.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo said solemnly, \"Although you lost to George at the Golden Globes, the Oscars are the Oscars. I think it's too early for you to give up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think about it, George Clooney—though it's a bit harsh for me to say—but I think his PR is 100 times stronger than his acting. Even if he beat you at the Golden Globes, among Academy members, this half-Italian doesn't have the same popularity as he does with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for Gary Oldman, this is actually an ordinary year for him. There is only a slim possibility that he wants to be crowned based on a war film.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thinking it over, I think you only have *The Artist* as a rival.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is *The Artist* really better than *J. Edgar*? Leo, your subjects are the same; both are biopics. As for the rest, how much stronger can the combination of Harvey Weinstein and Jean Dujardin be than Leonardo DiCaprio and Warner Bros.?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following his words, one could see Tang Ni’s expression slowly change from dismissive to increasingly serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time he finished, he was sitting bolt upright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I were you, I would definitely give it a try,\" Chen Nuo finally said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, Leonardo DiCaprio was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said: \"It's getting late, I think I should go. Chen, thank you for your advice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, think about it carefully, Leo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, I will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonardo DiCaprio left in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Allison, who had been watching from the sidelines, walked over, looked at the departing Rolls-Royce, and asked: \"Are you serious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo thought for a moment. Actually, he had just been spouting nonsense at first, but as he spoke, he realized it really seemed to be the case. Although he didn't know if Tang Ni had been nominated in his past life, or what the difference was in the nomination lists for 2012, it currently seemed that for Tang Ni, the opportunity really felt like it was right in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't answer directly, but asked back: \"What do you think? Does he have a chance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allison said: \"I don't know. But like you said, Leonardo plus Warner Bros., as long as they get serious, it's definitely enough to make Harvey Weinstein suffer. As far as I know, he is determined to win this time. Haha, if he knew we were the ones pulling strings behind the scenes, Chen, you and him would have another grudge to add to the list.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo laughed: \"Do you think that's a problem? As far as I'm concerned, his tab is already full.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, his expression turned serious: \"Alright, enough about that. Thank you for your hard work, Allison. Thank you very much. I'll write you the check for your $300,000 bonus in a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was no fool; of course, he couldn't believe this nomination had fallen from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this woman, Allison Graham, hadn't been working herself to the bone during this time, hadn't been supervising Warner Bros. to help him with PR to the point of reaching a level of \"favoritism\" that even made Tang Ni jealous... then he would write his name backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allison smiled: \"No need to be in such a rush. I don't need money as much as I did before. To be honest, I really didn't think it would succeed. I can only say that I am becoming more and more certain that people around you have better luck, just like Leonardo. Including me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo smiled: \"Alright, no matter what, this result is absolutely more beautiful than I could have imagined. Later, you, me, Nazha, and Linghu will find a place to have a big meal tonight to celebrate. My treat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1241,"2026-06-21T01:34:41.764Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","340d26869308c7b684e57e3eb4b38183b1b92f037a7d7da227aed53702689929","reborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--chapter-473","reborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--chapter-471",491,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--cover.jpg"]
