Chapter 367 The Third Morning Chapter 65 "Widow" (Please subscribe to support!)

…

Zhu Bing wore a black floor-length dress, her half-exposed shoulders and elegant collarbones were very tempting, and a sapphire necklace made her snow-white chest look dazzling.

Before going out, Zhu Bing took off her long black gloves and got a bow tie from somewhere and put it on Xu Kai.

After Xu Kai put on the bow tie, he always felt uncomfortable on his neck, so he pulled it off and threw it aside, saying, "Don't wear a bow tie, otherwise people will think I'm a bartender."

"You're the only one who talks too much." Zhu Bing rolled her eyes at Xu Kai, put on long gloves, picked up her bag and went out.

Xu Kai quickly caught up and personally opened the car door for Zhu Bing, and then the two of them got in the car driven by Ding Ergou and headed to the Temple Theatre where the Oscar Awards ceremony was held.

Xu Kai knew that Zhu Bing was still feeling a little uncomfortable about Sophie March's matter, so he was very attentive along the way.

Speaking of which, Xu Kai is to blame for this matter.

A few days ago, Xu Kai and Sophie March were rehearsing the last passionate scene of "Lover's First Kiss" in the hotel.

Who would have thought that Xu Kai and Sophie March, who were deeply in love with each other, would accidentally fire their weapons while practicing - Xu Kai and Sophie March actually turned their fake play into reality.

To be honest, if the fake becomes real, then it will become real. This is not the first time Xu Kai has done such a thing. Zhu Bing, who has long been indifferent to Xu Kai's romantic affairs, doesn't bother to care about Xu Kai.

But the problem is that at the last step, Sophie March suddenly said to Xu Kai: "Dear, I know you have many women, but I don't care. I just want to know if the woman you love most is me?"

At that time, how do you expect Xu Kai, a man whose mind is already filled with excitement, to answer?

Xu Kai could only lie with his eyes open: "Yes, the woman I loved the most is you, and it will always be you."

However, even though Xu Kai had already answered that, Sophie March still did not let Xu Kai take the last step. She actually confirmed again: "Dear, I want you to say it again. Including Zhu Bing, the woman you love most is me, right?"

At that time, Xu Kai's mind was full of trying to get Sophie March, so he didn't really hear what Sophie March asked, and he answered perfunctorily: "Yes, it's you."

What Xu Kai never expected was that Sophie March's questions and his answers were overheard by Zhu Bing, who came to Xu Kai to discuss the completion of "The Grandmaster 4".

If Xu Kai had quickly gotten out of bed to coax Zhu Bing, Zhu Bing's anger would probably have subsided.

But it was already the final shot, how could Xu Kai not score the goal? Xu Kai didn't want to have regrets in his life if Sophie March changed her mind.

As a result, Zhu Bing waited for Xu Kai outside the door for more than two hours, but Xu Kai did not come out of the room to look for her.

How could Zhu Bing not know that Xu Kai was entangled with Sophie March? In a rage, Zhu Bing returned to Beishan No. 1 overnight. In fact, Zhu Bing wanted to return to China directly, but she was afraid that Xu Kai would take this opportunity to break up with her, so she went to Beishan No. 1 where all the girls were, and wanted to unite with them to give Sophie March, who was about to enter, a warning.

Xu Kai, who had guessed Zhu Bing's plan, hurried back to Beishan No. 1 to stop Zhu Bing from causing trouble, so as to avoid family discord, after completely getting Sophie March.

Xu Kai took great effort to appease Zhu Bing and told her not to argue with the little girl Sophie March.

Actually, it's not Zhu Bing's fault. If you say Sophie March cheated on Zhu Bing's boyfriend, then so be it. Why did you force Zhu Bing's boyfriend to say that he loves you the most? It's no wonder that Zhu Bing is so upset about Sophie March.

Zhu Bing sat in the car for a while, and suddenly said, "Isn't that Sophie coming today?"

"Ahem!" Xu Kai quickly coughed to cover up his embarrassment, then laughed, "She wasn't nominated, so why would she go to the Oscars?"

Zhu Bing said tartly, "Who says she can't attend the award ceremony if she's not nominated? Maybe she can even walk the red carpet."

Xu Kai didn't want to get entangled with Zhu Bing over women, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Bingbing, how many awards do you think we can get today?"

Zhu Bing did not continue to attack Xu Kai with words. She leaned back in her seat, looked at the street view outside the window and said, "I guess I don't have much of a chance. No matter how well I perform in Farewell My Concubine, I will definitely be outshined by Zhang Chen. I think the Oscars may give both the Best Actor and Best Actress awards to Zhang Chen."

Zhang Chen missed the Cannes Best Actor Award by one vote. There are two main reasons for this: first, Farewell My Concubine had already won the highest honor of the Cannes International Film Festival, the Palme d'Or, and the jury wanted to give other important awards (Cannes Best Actor) to other excellent films; second, a judge named Claudia Cardinale deliberately voted for Zhang Chen for the Best Actress Award.

Zhu Bing, who performed very well but was not even nominated for the Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival, has been feeling resentful about this matter and has given up hope of winning an Oscar for Best Actress, even though she has already been nominated for one.

As for Xu Kai, he is in a much better situation. Not only does he have a chance to win the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, which he has been looking forward to the most, he can also compete for Best Director, Best Film Score, Best Editing and other awards.

Moreover, all of Xu Kai's nominations have received high support.

Due to limited space outside the Temple Theatre, the rules for this red carpet show were changed.

The Academy Awards Organizing Committee booked a hall in a hotel opposite the Temple Bar. All the stars and guests attending the awards ceremony went to the hotel to rest and wait.

When the red carpet show is about to begin, the Oscars organizing committee will send a luxury car to pick you up and drive you directly to the outside of the Temple Theatre to walk the red carpet.

When Xu Kai and Zhu Bing arrived at the hotel, dozens of people had already gathered in the hall booked by the Academy Awards Organizing Committee, chatting and laughing in groups of three or four.

There were also some reporters who were allowed into the hall. When Xu Kai and Zhu Bing arrived, the reporters' attention was on Tom Hopper, the famous Romantic director. He stood with Romantic superstar Colin Firth. Their movie "The King's Speech" will be the biggest competitor of "Farewell My Concubine" this time.

The appearance of Xu Kai and Zhu Bing immediately attracted several yellow-skinned and black-eyed reporters.

Xu Kai really didn't like answering reporters' questions, so he handed the task over to Zhu Bing, who was better at this kind of thing. He then found a seat and sat down, waiting for the time to take the bus to the Temple Theatre.

However, Xu Kai still couldn't escape the "hunt" of reporters. A female reporter with a work badge from Xiangnan TV came over and said, "Hello, Mr. Xu. I'm Li Xixi, an entertainment reporter from Xiangnan TV. Can you tell me something about your new film?"

Xu Kai saw that the female reporter was not bad looking, so he smiled and said, "Let me give you an exclusive news. The title of my new film is Shang-Chi."

This is different from the previous life where Shang-Chi had to wait until after "Avengers 4" to appear.

In this life, Xu Kai wants to make Shang-Chi one of the earliest superheroes. At most in "Avengers 2", Xu Kai will force Shang-Chi into the Avengers - if the early members of the Avengers were not relatively fixed such as Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Xu Kai was going to let Shang-Chi join in "Avengers 1".

As for the plot, there is no problem with Shang-Chi joining "Avengers 2".

In the original story, after the war between the Avengers and the X-Men, Captain America and Iron Man wanted to re-form a more powerful Avengers, and Shang-Chi was one of the first heroes of this new initiative.

Judging from the plot, the reason why Shang-Chi failed to join the Avengers in his previous life was mainly because he appeared too late. Otherwise, he would not have waited until Iron Man died and Captain America grew old before appearing.

In order to avoid the situation in his previous life, Xu Kai plans to first shoot two independent films about Shang-Chi to build up Shang-Chi's plot and popularity, and then have Shang-Chi appear in other independent films about Marvel superheroes. By the time he shoots "Avengers 2", with a little guidance, he will definitely be able to join the Avengers and become an indispensable Marvel superhero in the Avengers.

Xu Kai can also achieve his goal of conquering the world and exporting culture through the Marvel superhero Shang-Chi.

Li Xixi's eyes sparkled with joy. She asked, "Is it the Chinese superhero from Marvel? Are you going to make Shang-Chi in Hollywood or return to China to make Shang-Chi?"

"Guess." Xu Kai smiled at the female reporter.

Li Xixi did not answer, but asked again: "Then can you tell me, are you going to play the role of Shang-Chi yourself? Also, who are you going to ask to play the leading female role, Zhu Bing or Zhang Zhiwei, or another actress?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Xu Kai shook his head: "This is all I can tell you for now."

Seeing that Xu Kai was unwilling to answer any more questions, Li Xixi guessed, "I guess you will definitely make the movie Shang-Chi in Hollywood. After all, the current special effects in China are not good enough to make such a science fiction blockbuster."

"Unfortunately, no, at least not completely." Xu Kai said with a smile.

It took Xu Kai several minutes to finally send the female reporter away.

Fortunately, there are not many Chinese reporters here, and Xu Kai is not very famous in Hollywood, so after sending Li Xixi away, Xu Kai had a rare moment of leisure.

Suddenly, Xu Kai was attracted by a waitress next to him.

This waitress is not as tall as most European and American women. She is only about 1.6 meters tall, but she is still extremely beautiful, with sexy lips, delicate skin, clear eyes, and seductive curves. Her "lethality" to men is comparable to Marilyn Monroe. Her sexy blonde hair and lips make her look like a golden age actress, combining classic and modern beauty.

Xu Kai's eyes suddenly lit up: "Black Widow?"

Although this waitress is somewhat different from Scarlett Johansson, who played the Black Widow Natalia Alianovna Romanova in the previous life, and is much younger than Scarlett Johansson (she looks to be only seventeen or eighteen years old), her overall appearance and temperament are very similar to Scarlett Johansson, and even her figure is no worse than Scarlett Johansson.

Xu Kai immediately walked towards "Black Widow".

Coming in front of the "Black Widow", Xu Kai smiled and said, "Beautiful lady, may I have the honor of meeting you?"

Unexpectedly, Black Widow thought Xu Kai was here to flirt with her. She stretched out her hands and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in Oriental people. Of course, I don't mean to discriminate against Oriental people, but I prefer strong men."

Xu Kai shrugged and said, "I don't know how strong the so-called strong men you are talking about are, but I think they are definitely not as strong as me. I don't want to show off to you, but the fact is that I just won the runner-up in Johnson's "Titan Warriors" not long ago. In fact, I could have won the championship, but you know, the United States does not allow a Chinese like me to win..."

At this point, Xu Kai suddenly thought: "Why am I telling this to a little girl I don't know?"

However, Xu Kai immediately figured out the reason. A man can tolerate anything, except a woman saying that she is not good enough.

Shaking his head, Xu Kai gave up this childish topic and said, "Okay, let me tell you why I'm looking for you. I'm a director and I want to find you to act in a play."

"Are you the director?" Black Widow asked doubtfully.

"Why else do you think I'm here?" Xu Kai asked back.

Only then did Black Widow realize that they were at the Oscars ceremony, not on a street, and Xu Kai couldn't be one of those so-called scouts who wanted to pick her up.

Black Widow quickly changed her previous cold attitude and said, "Excuse me, sir, my name is Nicole Johnson. Please forgive my impoliteness just now. I really didn't know you were a respected director. I thought you were a pervert who disturbed my work."

Xu Kai smiled and said, "I forgive you, Nicole. Now you can tell me, are you interested in acting?"

Unexpectedly, Nicole Johnson shook her head and said, "No, Mr. Director, I am not interested in acting."

When Xu Kai heard this, he was immediately disappointed and wanted to say goodbye and leave.

But what Xu Kai didn't expect was that Nicole Johnson changed her tone and said, "But I am very interested in making money. To be honest, I have my eyes on a very beautiful sports car and I want to own it. So, if the role you let me play can make a lot of money, I think I am willing to give it a try."

Nicole Johnson's answer made Xu Kai very dissatisfied.

- Although Nicole Johansson looks a lot like Scarlett Johansson, the reason why Scarlett Johansson can interpret the role of Black Widow so well is that Scarlett Johansson loves the role of Black Widow so much that she couldn't wait to dye her hair red before she was sure whether she could get the role. In order to prepare for the role of Black Widow, Scarlett Johansson received 6 weeks of special training before shooting the main scenes. This is obviously not something that Nicole Johansson, who only wants to make money to buy a sports car, can compare to.

So, after listening to Nicole Johnson's answer, Xu Kai was silent for a while, and then said to Nicole Johnson: "I'm sorry, maybe I made a mistake. You don't seem to be suitable for the role I mentioned."

After saying that, Xu Kai turned and left, leaving Nicole Johnson, who was completely confused as to why she was suddenly not suitable for the role...
