Chapter 256

Wu Yuchen smiled: "Yes, I do have quite a few scripts saved, but whether there is one suitable for you, Nicole, I can't say for sure right now."

Nicole Kidman slightly opened her arms, straightened her chest and said: "No matter what the role is, I am willing to make full preparations for it!"

Hearing this, Wu Yuchen looked Nicole Kidman up and down, the corners of his mouth hooked into a faint smile: "Nicole, you know, choosing the right actor for a role is not that easy. I need to have enough understanding of the actor to determine if there is enough fit to perform enough effect."

Wu Yuchen stopped here and didn't continue speaking. But Nicole Kidman had already understood the other party's words. Isn't it just saying that he doesn't know her well enough, isn't familiar enough, so he can't give her a chance? What other way can a director have enough understanding of an actress, other than being stark naked and meeting frankly?

Nicole Kidman was very clear in her heart; the operating rules of Hollywood are just like this. There is no free lunch. If you want these people holding precious resources to open the door for you, you must pay. Especially after leaving Tom Cruise, what she could pay was naturally only herself.

She had long had this understanding after so many years in Hollywood, and she was already mentally prepared. In fact, if it weren't for Wu Yuchen, she would only be able to find Harvey, and that fat guy would naturally have the same requirements. Compared to Harvey, the young and handsome Wu Yuchen in front of her looked much better to her.

However, Nicole Kidman still had to put on a show, hesitating for a moment, and then as if she had made up her mind, she revealed a beautiful smile at him: "Wu Dao, I think you will have enough time and opportunity to understand me~"

Seeing this, Wu Yuchen was about to say something when suddenly his arm sank into a mass of softness. He saw Jennifer Connelly, also in an evening gown, hugging one of his arms: "Darling, what are you talking about? Can I listen to it?"

Jennifer Connelly saw Nicole Kidman pestering Wu Yuchen for a long time, and naturally felt threatened. She and Nicole Kidman were in the same age group, and the two had the most direct resource competition. If she let this bitch snatch away the good resources that should have belonged to her from Wu Yuchen, that would truly make her vomit blood.

Therefore, Jennifer Connelly immediately came to interrupt, and while hugging Wu Yuchen to claim sovereignty, she wanted to drive this damn bitch away.

Wu Yuchen smiled and glanced at Jennifer Connelly, naturally knowing what she was thinking, and didn't hide it: "Jenny, Nicole is asking me if there is a role suitable for her here~"

And what could be more pleasurable than conquering two beautiful women of the same era with different styles, Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Connelly, at the same time? He just wanted to get this done today!

After a while, Nicole Kidman spoke: "Wu Dao, can I consider this matter? And I want to see the script first."

Wu Yuchen reached out and patted her butt: "You have already won an Oscar today; do you want to work so quickly?"

Nicole Kidman was just about to speak when she saw Wu Yuchen turn his head to look at her and say: "Nicole, what about you?"

"I do have a suitable script here, the 1999 Pulitzer Prize novel 'The Hours.' The adaptation rights have been taken by me. It's a story about the struggle and acceptance of fate in the life experiences of three women. I think it's very suitable for challenging the Oscars."

Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Connelly were both vaguely excited upon hearing this. A script adapted from a Pulitzer Prize original work, a pure female story—this would have every advantage in challenging the Oscar for Best Actress. More importantly, they had absolute confidence that Wu Yuchen could film this movie well.

Wu Yuchen smiled and swept his eyes back and forth between the two, then stroked his chin and said:

Wu Yuchen looked at Nicole Kidman, whose expression was changing and who hadn't answered yet, and wasn't in a hurry, patiently waiting for her to make a decision. Before this, he might not have been so direct with Nicole Kidman, but winning the Oscar for Best Picture tonight made him feel very inflated, and what followed was a rapidly expanding desire to have a carnival.

Wu Yuchen patted her butt again, not too lightly or too heavily, and said in her ear: "Jenny, forgot your words? Everything tonight listens to His Majesty the King, hmm?"

But isn't that exactly what the Wu Yuchen in front of her meant?

Jennifer Connelly immediately blinked and asked: "Is that so? Actually, I also really want to ask this question, darling. Do you have a role suitable for me here?"

"Of course, I couldn't ask for more for your film, Wu Dao!" Nicole Kidman also immediately expressed her stance.

And Nicole Kidman opposite hadn't reacted at first, but soon understood Wu Yuchen's meaning, and her expression was somewhat uncertain. She could accept offering herself; she already had this awareness before. But together with others, she hadn't thought about it!

Jennifer Connelly didn't make a scene anymore upon hearing this. She had been lifted up by Wu Yuchen's resources in the past few years and had already established trust in his authority in her heart. In other words, she had been almost PUA'd by him in these few years.

Wu Yuchen chuckled and shook his head: "Of course you can, but Nicole, believe me, there will be many actresses coming to me tonight. I can't guarantee that after tonight, this opportunity will still be there."

Jennifer Connelly immediately hugged Wu Yuchen's arm tighter and immediately said: "Darling, I want it! You know me; I will definitely be able to achieve the effect that satisfies you!"

"Of course! I still want to win an Oscar for Best Actress for my King Majesty~" Jennifer Connelly didn't avoid it at all, saying it in front of Nicole Kidman, and even looked at her with a vague provocation.

Wu Yuchen gently pinched her small waist: "Of course, listen to me obediently, and I will give you the role you want~"

Nicole Kidman cursed the slut in her heart, but didn't look like she wanted to leave. She wouldn't give up so easily; she still looked at Wu Yuchen, as the decision-making power was in his hands.

"I also want to cooperate with you. I said, this is a story about three women. Not only do I need to have enough understanding of the female leads, but you also need to have tacit understanding and chemistry between you, so that it is more conducive to performing this work well. What do you think?" After Wu Yuchen finished speaking, he revealed an intriguing smile.

Jennifer Connelly gently hugged Wu Yuchen's arm and shook it. She obviously understood Wu Yuchen's meaning immediately. Before, with Anne Hathaway, she didn't mind because she was a generation apart from Anne Hathaway, so it could be said there was no direct resource competition, and they could get along well and serve Wu Yuchen together. But she and Nicole Kidman were direct competitors!

Nicole Kidman's fists clenched involuntarily; obviously, her heart was caught in a dilemma. She had been very smooth since entering Hollywood, with Tom Cruise escorting her the whole way. Although she knew about unspoken rules, she had basically never experienced them. And she was no longer that kind of small star; it was a bit hard for her to lose face doing this kind of thing suddenly.

But on the other hand, she also knew this was a very good opportunity. The other party had already made the conditions clear; if she didn't agree, he would choose someone else. She was no longer a young girl and didn't have that much time and opportunity to try and fail.

Although, she glanced at Jennifer Connelly. The Jennifer Connelly in front of her had clearly been more fierce than her in the past few years and had even won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. If she could accept it, why couldn't she?

Nicole Kidman gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and then asked Wu Yuchen: "Wu Dao, I want to ask, are you sure I will be the female lead?"

Wu Yuchen laughed upon hearing this: "Oh, Nicole, I can tell you clearly that in the film, the screen time of the three of you women is about the same. In fact, there is no distinction of female lead, but it can also be said that all of you are female leads. Whoever can perform better, whoever has a greater chance!"

Nicole Kidman pursued: "Who else are you planning to find for the other actress?"

Jennifer Connelly also looked at Wu Yuchen; she didn't want to add another one.

"Don't worry, there is another role I plan to find Meryl Streep for. I have watched many of her films and am very clear about her acting characteristics, so I don't need to understand her too much."

Nicole Kidman rolled her eyes. Meryl Streep is understood enough, but when it comes to her, it needs to be deepened? However, at the same time, she was also relieved; there wouldn't be a situation where a third woman appeared tonight.

However, she still wanted a guarantee: "Wu, can you send me to Best Actress?"

Wu Yuchen immediately shook his head: "There are so many unexpected situations every year; who can give you this guarantee? But if you perform well, I can promise you a Best Actress nomination. Whether you can get on the Oscar stage depends on yourselves."

Wu Yuchen felt his arm being grabbed tightly again, and then said to Jennifer: "Jenny, the same goes for you; whoever performs well is more likely to become Best Actress."

Jennifer Connelly immediately felt relieved upon hearing this. She had the experience of the past few years and knew that Wu Yuchen's guarantee was very reliable. Even if it didn't work next year, he would make it up to her the year after or the year after that; the Best Supporting Actress statuette was proof.

Nicole Kidman thought for a moment before finally saying: "Wu, is the script in your room?"

Wu Yuchen revealed a brilliant smile upon hearing this: "Of course, it's in my hotel room. I'll take you back to see it now!"

After speaking, he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud. Without any hesitation, he walked out directly while hugging Jennifer Connelly.

On the other side, Grazer also saw the movement on Wu Yuchen's side. Seeing him leave with Jennifer Connelly, while Nicole Kidman followed the two step by step, it made him a bit surprised, but thinking about Nicole Kidman's situation, he felt it was within reason.

Grazer shook his head with a smile. Although things might not be what he thought, he wouldn't go over and ask for trouble at such a time. What does it matter to him if it's a matter of mutual consent. Although he would feel envious, people like Wu who are constantly successful can enjoy everything in Hollywood. After all, this is the land of desire!

When the sun was high, after Wu Yuchen woke up, he saw Nicole Kidman's exquisite and beautiful face as soon as he opened his eyes. She was still sleeping, and a long, white, and tender thigh was still draped over him. He reached out to touch the other side and grabbed a mass of softness from Jennifer Connelly.

Wu Yuchen revealed a satisfied smile. Recalling the madness of last night, he couldn't help but shout in his heart: Hollywood is truly too cool! You can wantonly indulge your desires here; it's cool to the point of exploding!

Winning the Best Picture statuette, sleeping with "the most beautiful woman in the world"—this kind of extreme satisfaction and enjoyment of both body and mind, the feeling of reaching the top, the strong sense of conquest, is truly indescribable!

Subsequently, he thought of "The Hours" that he had promised out. To be honest, before last night, this film wasn't in his shooting plan. But sometimes plans can't keep up with changes. Last night, it was ultimately driven by various desires; the little brother guided the big brother.

However, Wu Yuchen didn't regret it. Facing Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Connelly together, how many men could refuse? He wasn't Liu Xiahui.

Shoot it if you want to shoot it; freeing up two months is about enough. Moreover, besides the Oscar for Best Actress, this film also won many nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director. Maybe it will help him in his Oscar run next year. In terms of box office, it's also quite profitable: 25 million in production costs, and a box office of over 100 million US dollars; that's not bad for an art film.

Just as Wu Yuchen was thinking in his mind, a harsh cell phone ringtone rang in the room, waking the two women on the bed. Wu Yuchen got off the bed and picked up the phone to answer:

"Hey, Wu, you haven't gotten up yet, have you?" Spielberg asked on the other side.

"It has to do with America sending troops this time. The higher-ups hope that this year's Oscars will give more consideration to black people."

At this time, he turned around and saw the light hitting the two women on the bed. Their fair and tender skin was shining, which made him feel a sense of romance in his heart again.

While talking to Spielberg, he walked to Nicole Kidman, who had already woken up, and touched her hair. Nicole Kidman, who had just woken up, looked at the man standing in front of her and naturally understood his thoughts, so she couldn't help but roll her beautiful eyes. However, everything that should have been done last night had already been done, so she wouldn't spoil the fun at this time.

"Oh, okay, I'm sorry to disturb your interest!"

Wu Yuchen stroked Nicole Kidman's head while saying: "I'm in a good mood now, I forgive you! What's the matter?"

"Wu, now that the Oscars have come to an end, I think we should talk about the sequel to 'Pirates of the Caribbean'."

Wu Yuchen immediately asked back upon hearing this: "The sequel to 'Pirates of the Caribbean'? Do you want to start it so soon?"

Just after speaking, Wu Yuchen couldn't help but let out a light "hiss."
