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

Chapter 165 Blueberry Nights is released!

Although she kept saying no, Zhao Liying found that Zhang Xinyu's eyes were fixed on the TV screen, as if she was reluctant to look away.

Zhao Liying thought that she might be overthinking it.

Chen Nuo, this bastard, rarely accepts interviews. Sister Xinyu must be just curious.

She couldn't help but continue watching TV.

Tu Jingwei had just finished interviewing Wang Jiawei and was asking her archenemy: "Hello, Chen Nuo, do you remember what questions I asked you during the last interview?"

Chen Nuo nodded and said, "Remember."

"So do you think you are closer or further away from your goal?"

“I think it’s closer.”

“Did ‘My Blueberry Nights’ help you in this process?”

"Of course."

Tu Jingwei smiled and said, "I heard that director Wang Jiawei asked you to shoot for several days and nights in order to perfectly present a kissing scene between you and the heroine. Is that true?"

Zhao Liying vaguely heard Zhang Xinyu next to her curse in a low voice, "Stupid host."

Chen Nuo replied: "It's true. But I think the public's attention has been focused on this for too long. In fact, for me, this scene is just a part of the job, just like any other scene. That's all."

When Zhao Liying heard this, she subconsciously looked to the side again. She saw a smile on Sister Xinyu's lips.

As if he noticed her gaze, his smile disappeared. Zhang Xinyu turned her head and said helplessly, "Xiaoying, why are you looking at me?"

Zhao Liying said carefully: "Sister Xinyu, did you know that Chen Nuo has a girlfriend?"

Zhang Xinyu said expressionlessly, "It's not very clear. Oh, forget it. Let's just watch TV."

The interview with China Film Report was not very long, only about six or seven minutes in total, and soon Chen Nuo gave a speech at the end.

"My Blueberry Nights is a movie about love, in which I act out my understanding of love. Friends who are interested in this can go to the theater on April 4 to see if our understandings are different. Thank you."

As soon as Chen Nuo finished speaking, Zhang Xinyu turned off the TV without hesitation.

Seeing how she was so neat and tidy, and not showing any reluctance at all, Zhao Liying began to doubt her previous judgment.

Zhang Xinyu said, "Okay, we've finished watching TV, let's go to bed early, we still have to shoot tomorrow morning. By the way, has that pervert Zhao Deming been harassing you yet?"

"No, How about you?"

"Let me go to dinner tomorrow night. They said Du Chun and Wen Zhaolun would also be there, and asked me to go and keep in touch with them."

Zhao Deming is an assistant director of their crew, and the other two are the leading and second male actors of their drama.

Zhao Liying has been in Hengdian for more than a year, and is no longer surprised by such things. She has even been there to accompany others.

As long as you're careful, it's not a big deal.

"Xinyu, then you should be careful."

"I know. Don't worry. I've been through this kind of situation before. Okay, go to sleep."

As a result, something really happened the next day.

Zhao Liying didn't know the specific details, but when Zhang Xinyu came back that night, half of her face was swollen and her lips were broken, as if someone had slapped her in the face.

No matter how Zhao Liying asked, she wouldn't tell her who it was.

Fortunately, the two of them had no scenes the next day, so Zhao Liying helped her apply a cold towel for a day before the swelling went down.

After that, Zhang Xinyu continued filming as normal, and Zhao Liying didn't notice anything wrong between her and anyone in the crew, including Zhao Deming, with whom she would chat and laugh as usual.

But every time I returned to the hotel, I seemed like a different person. I smiled less and chatted less. I used my mobile phone to log in to QQ to chat every day, but I didn’t know who I was chatting with.

April 4th was the last day for the two on the crew, and the filming was completed after that.

The two of them had a lot of scenes that day, and it was already past 10 o'clock in the evening when they finished filming.

The two girls were just minor supporting roles, so naturally no one would congratulate them.

After removing her makeup, Zhang Xinyu suddenly took out two movie tickets from her pocket and said, "Xiaoying, I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow. How about we go to see a movie today?"

Zhao Liying didn't even need to watch it to know it was "Blueberry Nights".

"is it okay?"

Zhao Liying hesitated for a moment, sighed slightly, and finally agreed.

Not for anything else, just for another farewell.

This year during the Spring Festival, she returned to Langfang and found Su Tuan and Xiao Si. They talked and laughed for a long time. The Mingming Comedy Troupe now has a new clown and a new flower fairy.

Everything that happened that winter seemed to have disappeared in time and turned into nothing.

Zhao Liying would occasionally think of Wang Xiang.

In her opinion, this boy should be just like her, struggling and working hard somewhere towards his own tiny dream.

I don't know if they will meet again one day.

When Zhang Xinyu and Zhao Liying walked into Hengdian Film Studios in Hengdian, Shi Ningwei also walked into a local cinema in Guangzhou.

On this day, almost every group of film critics he was in came out in full force.

I feel like if I don’t see this movie first, I won’t be able to survive in the circle.

This was exactly the opposite of Spider-Man 3, which many ordinary audiences were looking forward to three days later.

One is a must-see for film critics, and the other is a must-see for ordinary people.

Shi Ningwei truly admires Wang Jiawei's ability to move the release date of "Spider-Man 3" to after May Day.

It seems that the identity of a great Hong Kong director is quite useful in this regard.

It all depends on how big an appetite "Blueberry Nights" has and how much it can eat alone in these three days.

Sitting in the dark cinema, Shi Ningwei was very excited.

This was his third time watching Chen Nuo's movie. He hesitated for a long time when buying the ticket, but finally chose the dubbed version.

The main reason is that there are too many big names in the dubbed version and they are too attractive.

Especially the voice acting of Jiang Wen and Gong Li in the dubbing list, which made him really want to know whether there would be any chemical reaction when these two voices appeared in the same movie with Chen Nuo.

The dragon logo, Zedong Films, and StudioCanal logos appeared in turn.

The movie officially begins.

It was quite normal at the beginning. The opening shot of Chen Nuo answering the phone was quite pleasing to Shi Ningwei.

He could see that compared to a mute, Chen Nuo's performance had an extra layer of agility and freedom.

This role in particular is not easy to play, because actors are not afraid of playing ugly or weird roles, but are afraid of playing mediocre roles.

And in the first dozen seconds of the movie, Chen Nuo was able to play this ordinary-looking waiter in a way that was completely unlike himself. In Shi Ningwei's opinion, this was already very impressive.

He leaned back in his chair in the cinema, smiling, ready to enjoy the show.

He had a hunch that the exaggerated reviews from last year's Cannes film critics were not nonsense.

This movie might really be Chen Nuo's second comeback.

It was just a coincidence that he lost the Best Actor award.

Shi Ningwei's happiness lasted only three seconds.

When Dong Jie's voice came out of Emma Stone's mouth, he was completely shocked.

It is no exaggeration to say that Shi Ningwei felt like he was suddenly fed a mouthful of expired feces.

I feel so uncomfortable that I want to vomit.

The more he continued to watch, the more shocked he became.

Shi Ningwei simply couldn't believe that Wang Jiawei dared to use such a thing to fool the audience.

What the hell is this?

He even felt that Dong Jie was reporting the news using Emma Stone's mouth.

Forget about being emotional, can you at least have some human emotions?
Moreover, he was definitely not the only one who felt this way. When the female voice dubbed by Dong Jie appeared for the first time, his theater was a little excited.

After more than 20 minutes, a man started to curse in Cantonese in a particularly loud voice: "Fuck you, is this woman speaking human language?"

From here on, Shi Ningwei's mentality completely collapsed.

He never thought that he was just a film critic, simply and happily watching a movie. Now he was forced to find chocolate in the cesspool?
It would be fine if Dong Jie's magic voice was piercing my ears.

In fact, none of the voices of Gong Li, Jiang Wen, and Zhao Wei are normal. As soon as they speak, the background noise disappears.

It's more than just a show, it's simply forcing you to leave.

Half of the people in the theater had left before the movie was even halfway through.

They all cursed when they left.

Shi Ningwei couldn't bear it anymore, although he wanted to continue looking for chocolate.

If he plugged his ears with cotton, he would be able to see how well Chen Nuo and Emma Stone acted.

But expired shit really stinks!

Shi Ningwei left the cinema before finishing the movie. The humid and slightly warm night breeze from Guangdong not only did not calm him down, but made him even more furious.

The first thing I did after driving home was to open Sina Blog and write a headline: "Wang Jiawei, do you think the mainland audience is your son?"

While Shi Ningwei was venting his anger with words, a completely different scene was taking place in the original soundtrack of Hengdian Cinema.

This is the first time Zhao Liying has watched a Chen Nuo movie.

It was also the first time I saw each other's performance on the big screen.

Her feelings can be summed up in four words: unbelievable.

It's the kind of thing where after learning martial arts for half a lifetime, one suddenly finds out that he is in a world of cultivating immortals, and it's hard to believe.

Zhao Liying played supporting roles in Hengdian for more than a year. Although she herself did not achieve much, she watched many famous male actors perform with the purpose of learning from them.

For example, this one she just filmed.

The male lead, Du Chun, whose father is the famous actor Du Zhiguo, comes from a family of performing arts. He is a handsome young man and also graduated from Beijing Film Academy. He has been acting for several years and has played many leading male roles.

Every time Zhao Liying watched him act, she felt that she could learn a lot.

The same goes for the second male lead, Deric Wan.

As a veteran actor from Hong Kong and Taiwan, Zhao Liying seemed to be very comfortable with her acting.

Every time she watched him act, she would get so into the role that before she could figure out how to act, he would already have finished. And he acted really well.

Zhao Liying felt that these two people were her targets.

But now, when she saw Chen Nuo in the movie, in the misty night of New York City, he lit a cigarette, shivered and stood at the door of the restaurant, looking for his lover with sad eyes.

Her definition of acting was completely destroyed.

She didn't understand how an actor could express such deep emotions with his eyes.

She also couldn't understand how an actor could, without an opponent, without props, and without any conflict to create focus, just light up a cigarette and naturally attract the attention of the entire audience.

Zhao Liying thinks that the plays of Du Chun or Deric Wan are the ones that she can understand. She knows in which direction to work hard, and maybe one day she will be able to reach the other's level.

But after watching Chen Nuo's play, she felt her mind go blank.

What should she do to be like him?

Chen Nuo finished his two-minute monologue in the movie. In the theater with more than 500 people in Hengdian Cinema, it was so quiet that the whirring of the ventilator could be heard.

Not to mention a whisper, there wasn't even a cough.

When Emma Stone and Chen Nuo started to talk about love, Zhang Xinyu beside her seemed to not want to watch. She leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Do you think that idiot Du Chun is worthy of carrying Chen Nuo's shoes?"

Zhang Xinyu's tone was extremely sarcastic and full of resentment. Zhao Liying suddenly understood what was going on.

She had guessed Zhao Deming and even wondered if it could be Wen Zhaolun, but she had never imagined that it would be Du Chun, who looked gentle, handsome and kind!

In the dim light of the cinema, Zhang Xinyu saw Zhao Liying's eyes and knew that she had guessed it.

But she was leaving tomorrow too, so she wasn't afraid of anything at the moment. She whispered to Zhao Liying, "That idiot, be careful if you run into him during filming in the future."

Zhao Liying's eyes widened, "Xinyu, you..."

Zhang Xinyu raised the corner of her mouth, revealing an icy smile, and whispered: "In this circle, not everyone is like Chen Nuo, who dares to announce his relationship to the world. These men, although they look decent, are dirtier than the other. They also play more extravagantly than the other. If he hadn't...wanted to play perverted, I would have let him sleep with me. But this bastard...never mind, you should be more careful next time. That bastard is really perverted."

Zhao Liying's mood was complicated and unclear.

Although she had heard a lot of similar things before, this was the first time she heard her friends say these words so clearly.

She bit her lip, changed the subject, and asked softly, "So, you are really Glutinous Rice, right?"

Zhang Xinyu smiled but said nothing.

The final scene began to play on the big movie screen.

That fantastic and magnificent scene was like Adam and Eve at the beginning of the world, the kiss between a man and a woman, as sacred as the temple, the yin and yang in chaos.

Zhang Xinyu and Zhao Liying were stunned.

Yes, it wasn’t excitement, nor was it a pounding heart, nor did I even feel any tenderness or sweetness.

They are not professional film critics, they can only see what they are familiar with.

That is, kissing scenes can actually be filmed like this?
This simply...overturned their understanding of kissing scenes!

Not only them, but also everyone who came to Hengdian Cinema to watch the premiere of "My Blueberry Nights" was working in the crew.

I estimate that everyone has seen at least eight hundred kissing scenes.

The kiss between Chen Nuo and Emma Stone, which lasted just over ten seconds, left the audience stunned and staring.

Wait until the screen goes black, the subtitles scroll, and the lights come on.

Everyone was startled and came to their senses.

No one left.

In the mostly full theater, “Fuck” was heard one after another.

I've been screwing for a long time.
Someone suddenly shouted, "Damn, Wang Jiawei! It's amazing!!! Chen Nuo is awesome!!"

Someone followed up and shouted: "Chen Nuo is awesome, Wang Jiawei is awesome, and the female lead is awesome too!"

Then another man said in a very loud voice: "If anyone says that Chen Nuo's award as the best actor is fake again, I will be angry with him!"

Immediately, a girl screamed, "Chen Nuo is so handsome! Wang Jiawei's photography is so awesome!"

A girl who was quite far away from her also responded: "Really, really Chen Nuo is so handsome! I am almost turning into sticky rice after seeing him!"

A middle-aged man sitting in the corner said, "I've been in Hengdian for more than ten years, and I never thought I could shoot a kissing scene from top to bottom. The photographer is really good at it!"

A man in the front row immediately retorted: "What's the point of being able to take photos? Being able to kiss is awesome!"

The person in the back row was not convinced: "Who doesn't know how to kiss?"

The man in the front row laughed and said, "I've been doing photography for almost thirteen years. I tell you, no matter how awesome a photographer is, without Chen Nuo and that woman, it's useless."

"Stop arguing, let's applaud together. Wang Jiawei, this Palme d'Or is well deserved. Chen Nuo didn't win the Best Actor award, there must be something fishy going on!"

As soon as a man finished speaking, applause really broke out.

In the empty Hengdian cinema in front of the curtain wall.

There was a wave of applause.

Zhao Liying followed Zhang Xinyu and walked out of the theater early amid applause.

The two walked in silence in the night for a while, and Zhang Xinyu suddenly asked, "Xiaoying, how many years do you think we have to perform before those people just now will spontaneously applaud for us after watching the movie?"

Zhao Liying didn't say anything. She felt that it would never happen in her lifetime.

Zhang Xinyu didn't seem to expect her to answer, and said, "I've decided. I'm going back to Beijing to find Chen Nuo."

Zhao Liying was shocked for a moment, and looked over with her mouth wide open: "Ah?"

Zhang Xinyu smiled softly and said, "It's not what you think. I want to go to him to ask him if I can sign with his company. If he is willing to sign me, I will pay the penalty myself."

Zhao Liying didn't react and didn't know why her friend suddenly made this decision.

She thought about it for a long time, and finally asked hesitantly: "Why?"

Zhang Xinyu said: "No reason. Yes, there is a reason."

She suddenly smiled, "I won't lie to you anymore, I am actually Glutinous Rice. Do you know when I was Glutinous Rice? When he and Janice Man were holding hands at the night market in Taiwan."

"As for me, I entered society at a very young age and have seen a lot of dirty things. I wanted to find some clean people to cleanse my eyes. Well, that's it."
