Huayu: I'm reborn, but you still force me to be a scumbag?

Chapter 123 Small Fan Meeting

Compared with the previous two years, Chen Nuo's phone was much busier this Spring Festival.

On the night of New Year's Eve, I had to change two batteries before I could say what I should say and wish you a happy new year.

Among them, Zhang Yiyi seems to have really made it and can even make money by relying on his status. Together with Chen Kai, Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Da Huzi, he participated in a talent show called "Yahoo Search Star" as a mentor or something.

Zhang Yiyi said proudly on the phone: "You know what? My group has the most people signed up, more than 2000 in total."

Chen Nuo sneered at the time, "It's just the leftovers from Super Girl."

Zhang Yiyi laughed and said, "You're jealous, right? Hahahaha. You still remember the Silver Bear Award incident, right? At that time, the magazine editor asked me to take a photo holding the trophy. I was forced to do so."

Chen Nuo said disdainfully: "I saw you jumping up with the trophy in your arms, and you're still being forced?"

Zhang Yiyi chuckled and said, "I really was forced, but you are right, I am just eating up the cold rice. Do you know how much money Yahoo gave them? I guarantee that you will be happier than me." Then he said a seven-digit number.

It made Chen Nuo really want to pounce over and take a bite.

No matter how cold the rice is, the red RMB can make it steaming hot.

After chatting and laughing for a while, Zhang Yiyi got down to business again: "I'm preparing a new script recently, and it's expected to start filming in the second half of the year. How long will it take for your Batman movie to be shot? Do you have time to make a cameo appearance in my movie?"

Chen Nuo thought for a moment and said, "If you shoot until the end of the year, I should be able to come."

Zhang Yiyi said, "Okay then, it's a deal."

Xu Ke's cameo and Zhang Yiyi's cameo, we already have two cameos, but Xu Ke's cameo has not yet been scheduled, and we don't know if it will conflict with Batman. If the two sides really conflict, then I can only apologize to Xu Ke and make up for it in the next film. I believe the other party can understand.

Chen Nuo was still a little curious about Zhang Yiyi's new film, and asked, "What are you going to shoot this time? You've shot a film about a mute, so are you going to shoot a film about a blind person?"

Zhang Yiyi chuckled: "Although I know you are joking, I am too embarrassed to deny it."

Chen Nuo was shocked: "Is this true? What are you doing this time? Tell me about it."

Zhang Yiyi said proudly: "You are not allowed to spread it everywhere."

"Say it!"

It turns out that Chen Nuo was not wrong. After the mute, Zhang Yiyi, the lunatic, was actually planning to film a blind person, and a blind woman at that!
"I haven't decided on a name yet. The tentative name for now is Blind Man's Spring."

Chen Nuo's curiosity was so strong that he asked, "What is the specific plot? Tell me quickly."

As a result, Zhang Yiyi refused to say anything, and only said that this movie and The Mute were the yin and yang of each other, echoing each other inside and out. The Mute was a male-dominated film, while this one was a female-dominated film.

"The most difficult thing is casting. I really can't figure out which actress is suitable nowadays. Last time I asked you to play the mute, I'm afraid you won't be proud, I was really lucky. This time I don't know who to ask. I have spread the word these days, and I will prepare a large-scale selection after the New Year. If you have a suitable candidate, you can also recommend one to me. As for age, it should be older than you, about 25 to 30 years old, and beautiful, with charming eyes. It is best if it is the type that is particularly alluring."

Chen Nuo laughed dumbly, "I don't know any woman like this."

Zhang Yiyi laughed so hard that Chen Nuo gritted his teeth. "Zhang Yiyi, what the hell do you think of me?"

"Guess it yourself, bye."

Zhang Yiyi hung up the phone directly, and Chen Nuo was so angry that he wanted to fly to Europe to settle the score with him.

That's right, this guy turned his life around and made some money with the savings given by his parents. Of course, he couldn't forget the hardships his parents put in to raise him for almost 30 years in their old age.

In mid-January, I took my parents, who had never been abroad, out for a trip. We traveled around Europe and didn't return until the Lantern Festival.

Chen Nuo's family did not celebrate the New Year in Xichuan last year, nor did they visit relatives, but this year they cannot do that.

Chen Bicheng is fine, he is an orphan, born and raised by nature with no relatives to rely on, but Pan Chengrong is the eldest and has four younger brothers.

According to the old custom, the family of three had their family reunion dinner at home on New Year's Eve, and went to the home of Pan Chengrong's parents, Chen Nuo's grandparents, to celebrate the New Year at noon on the first day of the new year.

Pan Chengrong's father is 70 years old this year. He retired from the position of section chief of the power supply bureau. Pan Chengrong's mother is a kindergarten teacher.

In fact, her family conditions were pretty good since she was a child, but among five children, she was the only daughter, and the eldest one.

Under the older generation's ideology of favoring boys over girls, one can imagine how much hardship she had to endure since childhood as the eldest sister.

One can also imagine how much courage Pan Chengrong needed to marry coal worker Chen Bicheng despite the opposition of her entire family.

But these are all past events. Now, when Chen Bicheng's Volvo just drove into the power supply bureau's family compound, he heard the voice of Chen Nuo's cousin Pan Shouyi from a distance. The voice of the 14-year-old girl was very sharp, and it spread from the yard to the door in an instant.

Chen Nuo was still thinking at the time that with this voice, it would take Yang Mi a lifetime to practice.

As a result, when the car stopped downstairs, seven or eight girls rushed out from the doorway of the building. They were all about the same age and were very excited. They watched Chen Nuo come out of the car. There was even a girl holding a camera who screamed, but immediately covered her mouth halfway through and stared at Chen Nuo with blinking eyes.

Among the girls, the one who took the lead was his cousin Pan Shouyi.

Pan Shouyi rushed over and called out, "Aunt, Uncle." Then he pulled Chen Nuo's sleeve and called out in a sickly sweet voice, "Brother Nuonuo."

Pan Chengrong frowned, looked at the group of little girls, and asked, "Shouyi, who are these? Your classmates?"

Pan Shouyi has always been a little afraid of her aunt, so she shrank behind Chen Nuo and said, "Well, they are all fans of Brother Nuo Nuo and want to get his autograph. Brother Nuo Nuo, is that okay?"

Being stared at by his cousin with big cute eyes, and being looked at by six or seven little girls with expectant eyes, what else could Chen Nuo do? Even at noon on the first day of the Chinese New Year, these girls actually came out to ask for his autograph. I guess he didn't know how many times he had quarreled with his family, and he might even kneel down and be beaten when he went back.

No matter how hard-hearted he is towards his fans, there is no way he can refuse.

I could only nod cheerfully and said, "No problem, come on, everyone come together."

It can only be said that Chen Nuo is really good at coaxing girls. It didn't take long for these little girls to leave contentedly with autographs and photos. Only then was Chen Nuo able to go up to the fifth floor and enter his grandparents' house.

If you count it up, we haven't seen each other for more than a year, and they all look at him with such affection.

Pan Shouyi's mother, also his second aunt, came to apologize to him, saying that it was Pan Shouyi who promoted her superstar cousin in school every day, causing many girls in their junior high school to be fans of Chen Nuo.

When Pan Shouyi learned that Chen Nuo was coming over for the New Year's reunion celebration today, he proudly showed off in the group. He didn't expect that he would be in a difficult situation and had to hold such a small fan meeting.

Just meet him, Chen Nuo doesn’t think it’s a big deal.

Of course he didn't know that these girls took the photos and signed them, and showed off in the QQ group. All the junior high school girls in Longan No. 6 Middle School were almost crazy. If he hadn't boarded a plane to Beijing the next day, his cousin who called Nuonuo brother in a crisp voice would have held a large fan meeting for him.

This time, the family of three was traveling, and Chen Bicheng generously bought three first-class cabins. Chen Nuo didn't say anything, and let Lao Chen show his presence.

When we arrived at the Beijing airport, Qi Yuntian drove a 740i to pick us up.

The three members of the Chen family got in the car. Not long after driving, Chen Bicheng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly asked, "Xiao Qi, if Chen Nuo wants to buy a house in Beijing now, where would be the best place to buy it?"

Qi Yuntian smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, what is your budget?"

Chen Bicheng didn't say anything final. "Can you buy something good for 5 or 6000 million?"

Qi Yuntian coughed and said, "There shouldn't be any problem." Chen Nuo listened in the car without saying anything, because this was something they had discussed before they came.

Since Chen Bicheng didn't want to buy the land, he had to spend the money. Otherwise, the superiors were not fools. You kept saying that you had no money, but you had tens of millions of dollars in the bank. The people in the bank were not dumb and it was impossible for them not to know about it. Even if you transferred the money in your account to any place, they could still check it if they wanted to.

Unless you actually spend it.

So for the Chen family, buying a house is imperative.

However, Qi Yuntian had a different opinion. "Uncle Chen, if you want to spend so much money to buy a house, then I suggest you don't buy it in BJ. The weather in BJ is dry and cold, and there are sandstorms every day. It's really not good. I think you should go to Shanghai to buy a house. There is a real estate project opening in December. The house is very good and has no problem with privacy. It is also by the Huangpu River. You can see the river view when you open the window. It's great."

As expected, he is the number one Hai fan in Beijing. He just wants to stay away from Teacher Li. Last time, he even said that he wanted to move his studio to Shanghai.

But after hearing this, Chen Nuo was a little shaken. Indeed, didn't he swear before that he would buy a house in Shanghai when he had money? Why not now? Is it interesting to go to Beijing to buy a house and blow sand for ten years?
All in all, there is Xia Yehe in Shanghai, and even flying to Hong Kong is closer, so what does BJ have to offer?
What are you thinking about?

Chen Nuo also changed his mind and said, "Dad, why don't you listen to him and go to Shanghai to buy it."

"Shanghai?" Chen Bicheng hesitated a little and said, "It's not like Beijing, right? Aren't you still studying here?"

"I want to live in the dormitory to study."

Several people started discussing in the car whether to stay in Beijing or go to Shanghai to spend half of the hard-earned money Chen Bicheng had earned in his lifetime.

Actually, this is quite interesting. Is Shanghai or the old capital? If you had 6000 million, where would you like to live?
But the result of Chen Nuo's discussion was that the minority obeyed the majority. After Pan Chengrong was also persuaded, Chen Bicheng could not help but agree to go to Shanghai in a few days.

"By the way, Xiao Qi, what's the name of the building you mentioned just now?"

"Thomson First Grade."

……

……

When Chen Nuo met Li Er at Li Er's home, he was immediately overwhelmed when he saw the pair of half-smiles behind the other's gold-rimmed glasses. All the things that happened in the past year flashed through his mind, checking whether there was anything that violated the rules of the sect.

It's strange to say, he has met so many big shots in the past year, let alone Wang Jiawei and Nolan, even when facing Michael Slan, the vice president of Warner Bros., one of the six big names in Hollywood, he can intrigue with the other party on the phone. Back then in the Warner conference room, he was not at all inferior in the 1vs30 situation.

But as soon as he came back to Beijing and saw Teacher Li, he became as quiet as a chick seeing an eagle. After greeting him, he sat on the sofa and waited for Teacher Li to speak.

Fortunately, after thinking for a long time, he found that he didn't seem to have done anything that would make Teacher Li angry.

Pan Chengrong couldn't help laughing: "Teacher Li, you are the only one who can control this naughty kid in our family now."

Li Er also smiled and said, "Xiao Pan, Xiao Chen, don't bring too much luggage when you come over next time. Just visit and chat."

Chen Bicheng said with a sigh: "Teacher Li, this is nothing, these are just local specialties of our Xichuan."

Qi Yifei laughed at the side: "Is Maotai also from Xichuan?"

Chen Bicheng laughed and said, "Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan are inseparable, they are all the same. Hey, Professor Qi, regarding the recent coal reform, I have already closed the coal mine, and I would like to ask for your advice on what to do next. Our city asked me to support the work and buy land for development, but I don't know whether I should do it or not."

Qi Yifei said: "Real estate is a sunrise industry and it is also the industry that our country will focus on in the next few years. Although there have been macroeconomic controls in the past few years, I think there is still a lot of room for development in the future. However, when you first start to change your career, you should not take too big a step. After all, you need to explore many things by yourself. Take it step by step and be steady. Steady development is the long-term plan."

Chen Bicheng sighed, "Professor Qi, I just realized now that what you said last year was really good advice. I will definitely listen to you this time. Take your time and don't rush."

Li Er also sat and chatted with Pan Chengrong for a while, then she suddenly turned around and asked, "Chen Nuo, have you thought about what I said on the phone? Do you want to speak out now and discuss it with your parents?"

Pan Chengrong asked curiously: "Teacher Li, what's the matter?"

"Chen Nuo, do you want to talk?"

Chen Nuo smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher Li, let me tell you."

So Chen Nuo told him what he was thinking. As a result, not only Chen Bicheng, but Pan Chengrong was the first to explode: "How dare you! I would rather you never make a movie in your life!"

Facing the only woman he had no choice but to deal with in his life, Chen Nuo could only sigh and say, "Mom, this is just a preliminary idea. I also know that it is not mature."

Pan Chengrong sneered angrily: "Immature? Haha, Xiao Qi, give me his passport now!"

Chen Nuo's passport has always been kept by Qi Yuntian. This man is also an ungrateful person. After looking at Chen Nuo with sympathy, he really went to the bedroom to take out Chen Nuo's passport and handed it to Pan Chengrong.

Pan Chengrong said bitterly: "Now I see where you go. If you have the guts, go swim across the Taiwan Strait!"

Now, there is nothing to discuss. There is no need to talk at all.

Finally, it was Teacher Li who spoke: "Chen Nuo, I think it's great that you want to experience life. I also admire your attitude. After all, your living environment is too good. Saying that you have no worries about food and clothing is a disparagement. If this continues, you will definitely be separated from the masses, and then your acting skills will inevitably lose their vitality. Don't say you can't do it, this is an objective law and has nothing to do with your talent. Why do we see many talented actors who play vivid roles at the beginning of their debut, but gradually become masked and stereotyped later? The fundamental reason lies in this."

“No matter who you invite to act with you, or how many acting teachers you hire to teach you how to act, as long as you are out of touch with the people, you will not be able to act well.”

The whole living room was filled with Li Er's voice, but both Chen Bicheng and Pan Chengrong listened very seriously. Because what Li Er said was not just about acting, but other aspects as well.

"This is not a slogan shouted at a conference, nor is it some feudal dogma. Look at those acting masters abroad. Who is not just an ordinary person in life? Chen Nuo, for the sake of a role this time, you are willing to spend several months enduring loneliness, to give up all your current affluent life, and to step out of your comfort zone. I want to commend you for this."

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Pan, when Chen Nuo asked me this, to be honest, I was more pleased than anything else. Do you know why?"

Li Er did not let Chen Bicheng and Pan Chengrong join in the conversation and answered the question directly, "Because I know that he has not gotten carried away yet, he has not gotten carried away by the praise from the outside world, and he has not forgotten everything I have taught him. He is still the Chen Nuo who could play the mute role a year ago!"

There is no doubt that Li Er started her New Year's speech again.

"Don't think this is easy. I told you a year ago that I hope you won't let Chen Nuo become an actor who only cares about money. Now it seems that you have done it."

Chen Bicheng straightened his back unconsciously, coughed lightly, and said, "Teacher Li, since you said that, every time I call Chen Nuo, I will tell him not to worry about the salary. As long as you think the role is good and has artistic value, even if you don't get a penny, you should take it, and even rush to take it."

Li Er raised his glasses and nodded: "So this time, I also hope that Xiao Chen and Xiao Pan will support him."

Chen Bicheng's expression suddenly froze, and he said with a chuckle: "Teacher Li, how can we support him? If he goes to the United States alone, it's not impossible, but..."

Li Er interrupted him and said, "It is definitely impossible for him to go to the United States."

Chen Bicheng seemed to be relieved all of a sudden, his expression relaxed, and said: "Then whatever you say, Teacher Li, we will cooperate."

Pan Chengrong had been silent all along, but now she finally spoke up: "Yes, Teacher Li, what do you think we should do?"

Li Er glanced at Chen Nuo and said, "I hope you can understand him and let him do what he wants. Of course, safety comes first. Regarding this, Lao Qi and I have found a suitable place in the past two days. Lao Qi, how about you tell us?"

Qi Yifei said with a smile: "It's just a coincidence. I have a good college classmate who will be transferred to a small place near the capital to serve as the deputy mayor in charge of economy after the New Year. I thought it would be no problem to ask him to take care of Chen Nuo. This way, his personal safety will be guaranteed. And that place is close to the capital, only more than an hour's drive away. It's convenient to go there if anything happens."

Chen Bicheng and Pan Chengrong looked at each other, and finally Pan Chengrong asked, "Teacher Qi, what is the name of the place you are talking about?"

"Langfang, Langfang, Hebei."

　Should I just post two chapters every morning from now on? I feel like it would be more comfortable to read them together.
