Chapter 604: Just one man away
At the end of the interview in the Times, no one, including Lao Mouzi and Nini, dared to mention the answer that Li Chen just told lies with his eyes open.
Every year during Oscar season, Beverly Hills is packed with stars.
When they learned that Li Chen had arrived in Hollywood, Leon, Theron, Scarlett and other acquaintances all called him to say hello, saying only that they would take some time to get together.
Because they were not nominated and were not guests of the Oscars, a few people took advantage of the Oscars red carpet.
Li Zhengtong and Zhang Ziyi knocked on the door directly.
The former called Liu Yifei and said that she wanted to meet Yifei's Crystal Wu.
The latter called Li Chen and Lao Mouzi and praised the two of them, as if they were the only teachers in the current Oscars and Director Li to follow suit.
Li Congcheng had just gotten off the car at the main road at the main entrance and was looking left and right at the neatly trimmed lawns on both sides and the clearly visible apron in the distance.
When I was sighing in my heart that the mansion that Director Li gave to Liu Yifei was really inhumane, the door of Crystal Wu opened again in the distance, and another black Mercedes-Benz slowly drove in.
Li Congcheng turned to look around, and Zhang Ziyi in the car immediately saw Li Congcheng in a black short skirt.
This time at the Oscars, Lao Mouzi and Li Chen must be their backbone.
In Hollywood, some people may not know Zhang Ziyi and Li Lichen, but absolutely no one does not know Li Chen.
Zhang Ziyi got out of the car, took the initiative to smile and waved to Li Citadel: "Citadel."
The look on his face didn't show any sign of "Snow Flower Secret Fan" being exploited.
"It's Ziyi. If I had known you were coming, we would have come together." Li Zhengtong smiled impeccably.
Before the two met Lao Mouzi and Li Chen, they started competing with each other on their acting skills.
Zhang Ziyi's defeat lies in the fact that her frame cannot support her equipment, and her clothes are also indescribable. Nothing she wears can match her status.
Wearing a patchwork knee-length dress, black on the top and blue on the bottom, with her hair pulled up high, she was obviously several years younger than Li Congcheng, but it was hard to tell at all.
"Director Li is here. We are not allowed to take the initiative to express our feelings. We can't let Director Li make an appointment with you and me, right?"
"That's right, I didn't expect Director Li to be the guest of honor." Crystal Wu's servant led the way, and the two of them walked behind and chatted.
"Who would have thought, but it's not surprising that with Director Li's status, an award is more than enough."
"Yifei is so lucky. The red carpet guests directly enjoy the courtesy of award-winning guests." Zhang Ziyi said it insincerely, but it was not obvious at all.
Li Zhengtong reacted quickly: "You mean, Yifei will walk on the red carpet with Director Li?"
"That's for sure. They are a couple. Oscar gave Yifei a red carpet guest just for his own face. He can't give Yifei an awards guest, right?"
Zhang Ziyi's guess was correct.
In the villa, Li Chen and his wife were also talking about this matter.
"The red carpet has always been your female star's catwalk. We men are just supporting actors on the red carpet. The so-called red flowers need green leaves. My dear, it is my duty to be the green leaf for you."
In Ms. Liu’s dressing room, LV sent two sets of high-end products for Ms. Liu to choose from, and Gucci sent a set of sparkling jewelry.
Li Chen sat leisurely and enjoyed Miss Liu's dress-up show.
"Director Li has such a sweet mouth! Without Leon and Charlize, wouldn't the Oscar starlight be a little dim?"
"No, the red carpets of the three major European film festivals may suffer from the embarrassment of dimmed stars, but it will never happen at the Oscars. This is the place where stars are mass-produced."
"Just pick one out and it will be enough to shine on the red carpet of the three major European shows."
Liu Yifei nodded: "I'll go with you. The organizer won't have any objections, right?"
Li Chen said with a smile: "What do they have to say? We are husband and wife, so naturally we have to walk together. Have you ever seen a few couples walking separately on the red carpet?"
As soon as Miss Liu heard this, she walked over and sat on Li Chen's lap with a sweet smile. The fragrance filled the air, and she held Li Chen's neck with her bright arms.
Li Chen put one hand around Miss Liu's waist and said with a smile: "What's wrong?"
"What did you just say?"
"I said you have seen several couples walking separately on the red carpet."
"Not this sentence, the previous sentence!"
"The previous sentence?" Li Chen frowned slightly, not knowing what Miss Liu meant.
"I said, we are husband and wife, so naturally we should go together."
Miss Liu nodded with satisfaction, not knowing what she thought of, and smiled sweetly, like a tempting red apple.
Li Chen couldn't help but pecked her little mouth: "What are you thinking about? What I said is wrong?"
Miss Liu didn't explain, she smiled and stood up dexterously to escape Li Chen's clutches: "I won't tell you."
"Sir, Madam, the guests have arrived."
Li Zhengtong and Zhang Ziyi came to the door today, and Li Chen didn't bother to hold them. Not only did he warmly entertain them, he also told them: "It's not surprising for actresses to compete on the red carpet, but don't forget that we are not the protagonists this time. Chinese.”
It wasn't until Crystal Wu came out that the two of them slowly came back to their senses.
"Sister Deng, you mean that Director Li is warning me and Zhang Ziyi?"
In Deng Wendi's private residence, Li Zhengtong revealed everything in Crystal Wu bit by bit.
"That's right."
Li Zhengtong nodded, and then thought of something again: "Sister, have you figured out the reason why Director Li met your husband?"
Deng Wendi shook her head: "He and I have nothing to say now."
Li Qingqing really wanted to slap himself in the mouth, because he would not open any pot.
After sending away Li Zhengtong and Zhang Ziyi, Liu Yifei dressed fresh and beautiful, wearing a black and white long-sleeved shawl on her upper body and a pair of loose straight black and white striped trousers on her lower body.
With her long hair loose and flowing casually on her shoulders, wearing burgundy sunglasses and holding an LV bag in her hand, she happily accompanied Li Chen to the Highland Center to attend the Oscar Awards rehearsal.
The Kodak Theater is history, and the Oscars have announced a venue change to the Highland Center.
As soon as the two arrived at the venue, they saw a lot of traffic and crowds outside the venue. Many fans came here to see her. Many local Chinese shouted Ms. Liu's name loudly, and many of them were fans of the big-mouthed beauties Julie and Tom Cruise. .
After being escorted into the infield by staff and security personnel, the two people immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.
The big-mouthed beauty Julie saw Li Chen at a glance, a smile immediately appeared on her face, and she walked up quickly.
Husband Pete followed closely behind, and Tom Cruise was also curious about Chi You, the most mysterious boss in Hollywood, so he also came along.
"Long time no see, Li (Ying)!"
"Long time no see."
"I'm glad to see you, Crystal. You are still so beautiful. You don't look like you have had a baby. You are no longer like me. You are old." Julie stepped forward with a smile and hugged Li Chen and Liu Yifei face to face.
"No way, you haven't changed at all. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that you had given birth to three children." Liu Yifei responded enthusiastically.
A pair of eyes glanced at Li Chen beside him.
The interesting story of watching "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" with Li Chen came to mind again.
The last time the four of them met was at the premiere of "Invitation". Jolie and Pitt were invited by Warner Bros. to come to support "Invitation."
"Nice to meet you, Li. Let me introduce you. This is Tom Cruise. I heard that you are coming today and have been asking me to introduce you two to each other." Pete hugged Li Chen cheerfully and smiled. road.
"Nice to meet you, Lee, just call me Tom." Tom Cruise reached out his hand.
"I've known you for a long time. Tom Cruise in "Mission: Impossible" fascinated many of our Chinese audiences." Li Chen said with a smile. Julie on the side glared at Pique and interrupted: "Li, do you know what I regret most in my life?"
Pitt smiled hoarsely: "She said that the thing she regrets most is missing out on "The Rogue" because of her pregnancy, which gave Charlize a big advantage."
"From now on, your "Inception" will make her "Agent Sauter" unable to hold her head up even more."
"It's not all because of you, otherwise how could I miss "The Thieves"!" Jolie scolded Pitt with a smile.
Several people talked about Zhang Yimou's "Thirteen Hairpins in Jinling" again, and the staff took Li Chen to familiarize herself with the venue and lines.
Jolie and Pitt stood in the audience chatting with Liu Yifei.
With sharp eyes, Liu Yifei accidentally noticed that Julie was wearing a huge diamond ring on her left ring finger.
"This ring is so beautiful." Liu Yifei grabbed Julie's hand and said with a smile.
Jolie gave Pitt a sweet look and admitted generously: "We are getting engaged."
"When we get married, you and Li Ke must come." Peter immediately sent out an invitation.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"Well, we will definitely come when we have time." Liu Yifei agreed readily.
"Where are you two? I heard from Leon that the wedding of you two will be held this year. Remember to inform us when the time comes. If Pitt and I are free, we will definitely come." Jolie smiled.
Liu Yifei also said openly: "Well, don't worry, you will definitely be included in the invitation."
"Bring your children with you then."
As soon as the two mothers talked about their children, the conversation started.
Julie likes children, and Miss Liu likes them even more.
On the way back, Li Chen asked Miss Liu: "Julie is not simple, her life has almost become a legend."
"What do you mean?" Miss Liu glanced at Li Chen.
"What I mean is that you can learn acting skills from her, but there is no need for other things." Li Chen said with a smile.
Miss Liu nodded and seemed to understand.
"I think you are not very interested in the movie "Unbreakable" that she just told you about."
Miss Liu is indeed the person who knows Li Chen best.
"Yes, although the subject matter is good, women are too emotional, and the director must think rationally."
"She thinks I can vote for "Thirteen Hairpins" and "Unbreakable"?"
"Besides, she and Pete are not short of investment."
During the Oscars, several Chinese actors shared their daily moments on Weibo.
Li Zhengtong shared a photo with a Hollywood movie star, but she couldn't be seen from the C position.
They are all Hollywood big shots.
What Zhang Ziyi shared was a gathering of Oscar female filmmakers, and it was inevitable that her identity as an Oscar judge would be brought out again.
But it's not difficult to see Zhang Ziyi's loneliness when she is surrounded by a group of old women.
Only Liu Yifei shared the daily life of Crystal Wu.
Fans strongly requested Liu Yifei to share a photo with a celebrity.
Before Liu Yifei posted it, a rehearsal photo shared by Jolie on a social media platform instantly sparked heated discussions among domestic netizens.
Sina Entertainment News
"The 84th Academy Awards will be held in Los Angeles, USA in the morning on February 27th, BJ time."
"As an award guest invited to attend this year's Oscars, Angelina Jolie shared a photo of the awards rehearsal on social platforms."
"From left to right in the photo are Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Liu Yifei, Li Chen, Tom Cruise, and Halle Berry."
"And Liu Yifei, who is in the C position, is undoubtedly the most dazzling one among the six-pointed stars."
"Leonardo, Scarlett and others left comments and made fun of Liu Yifei."
This time the fairy powder was completely boiling.
"Wherever the immortals go, they always have a C position. This is fate. You can't envy them."
"With the inadvertent counterattack from Queen Julie, Li Congcheng and Zhang Ziyi probably want to return to China."
"Zhang Ziyi is not bad in terms of talent and has a clear mind. She knows that the difference between herself and Liu Yifei is not just in looks. The most fundamental difference is that there is a man's gap between them."
"What you said upstairs is so right. If International Zhang tied up Mr. Huo or ViVi, at least he wouldn't be beaten by the gods."
"Although Li Congcheng fell in love with Deng Wendi, a woman, no matter how eye-catching, is just a vassal."
Liu Yifei was really speechless when she looked at these comments on the Internet.
She really had no intention of comparing Li Congcheng to Zhang Ziyi.
As a result, a call came to Julie, and Liu Yifei was stunned.
"Sister, I asked you to send me a photo, why did you just post it on the social platform?"
"Didn't Li ask me to post it? I thought he meant what you meant."
"Huh?"
After a long while, Liu Yifei realized: "You mean, Li Chen asked you to post it?"
Jolie didn't take it seriously at all and joked: "Of course it's him, otherwise who else can make Pitt and I unable to refuse?"
After hanging up the phone, Li Chen just came out of the shower.
Ms. Liu immediately began to solve the case: "Did you ask Julie to send the photo?"
Li Chen admitted it simply: "It's me."
"You also deliberately arranged for you and me to stand in the middle when taking a group photo?"
Li Chen smiled and shook his head: "How can this be called intentional? I just gave up the C position. Look at which of them has the nerve to stand."
Liu Yifei's little brain seemed to be running out of ideas, so she thought about it seriously and it seemed that what Li Chen said was right.
Julie hopes that Li Chen will invest in the "Unbreakable" movie and help her improve the script.
Pitt and Jolie are husband and wife, so naturally they follow Jolie's lead.
Tom Cruise and Sister Black Pearl knew Li Chen's strength in Hollywood, and even the vice president of Warner and the president of Chi You followed him around like subordinates to follow the arrangements.
Two Hollywood celebrities didn't dare to stab him.
"Why do you do this?"
"Why? Because I don't want to see you being wronged. If anyone dares to steal the limelight from you, I will kill one of them, and I will kill two of them if they come!"
"One more reason. I can't see Chinese actresses treating Hollywood celebrities as treasures like the two of them. It's shameful!"
