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

Chapter 192 Three Unsolved Mysteries in Hengdian
"Lights, lights, lights~"

Hearing the lively melody of the ringtone, Zhao Liying turned her eyes to the black mobile phone on the table.

Its name is very strange. It is not 3310, nor n93n97. It is called iPhone.

It is produced by an American company and the price is 6980.

Zhao Liying felt that she would never be able to spend so much money to buy a communication tool in her lifetime.

Even the watermelon-cutting game is really fun.

But Zhang Xinyu had different ideas. On the third day after signing the contract with "Huanran Yixin", she went to the grey market and bought this mobile phone which was said to be epoch-making.

The reason is: "My life is secure. A little extravagance is not a big deal."

Zhao Liying wanted to make a small rebuttal, reminding the other party not to open the champagne at halftime, but in the end she couldn't help laughing along and said nothing.

However, no matter how valuable a mobile phone is, it has to have someone to use it.

Zhang Xinyu picked up the phone and read the text message, then put it back on the table and continued eating.

Zhao Liying couldn't help but ask, "You really won't reply? I sent you 20 or 30 messages this morning, right?"

Zhang Xinyu said angrily: "I reply to text messages from everyone? Do I have so much time?"

"Didn't you say before that you were handsome and your family was rich?"

Zhang Xinyu rolled her eyes at her. "What's the point of being handsome? Is there a shortage of handsome guys in Hengdian? I'm just guessing whether he has money or not. Hey, I just chatted with him in the bar, but I didn't expect this idiot to stick with me. Annoying."

Zhao Liying took a bite of her meal and said, "It's only the beginning of this month. How many of them are you already?"

Zhang Xinyu looked startled. "Hey, what do you mean by 'number one'? Those guys are just being sentimental. Don't say that outside. If Boss Qi hears it, I'm done for."

Zhao Liying said: "I know, I'm not stupid."

"I think you are quite stupid, eat quickly."

After lunch, the two went out.

Today, Zhang Xinyu took a small job from a group leader, playing a pair of sisters in ancient costumes shopping. The money was not much, 200 per person.

Actually, after signing the contract, there was no real change in their lives.

Apart from signing a long-term double room for them in a three-star hotel, the company did nothing else and left them to fend for themselves in Hengdian.

That's not entirely true, because they are given a basic salary of 1000 yuan per month to ensure they won't starve to death.

Including the terms in the brokerage contract.

Apart from the generous profit-sharing terms of 4:6, with the artists taking the lion's share, everything else is just the best of the best.

The contract was for 10 years, and the penalty for breach of contract was as high as 2000 million. There were almost no equivalent restrictions on Huanran Yixin Company.

In addition to promising to pay them five insurances and one fund every month in accordance with the law, there is only one vague agreement: "When the time is right, if there is a suitable role, the company will give priority to it under the premise of fair competition."

It's basically like saying nothing.

When signing the contract, Zhao Liying heard that Boss Qi was quite dissatisfied and told the lawyer to remember to delete this item next time.

But when she finished reading the contract, she felt that it was just a contract to sell her body.

If Zhang Xinyu hadn't said something, she really wouldn't have dared to sign.

What Zhang Xinyu said was: "Do you think we have anything worthy of Chen Nuo's deception?"

A hammer is fixed.

Just as she went downstairs, Zhang Xinyu's high-end cell phone rang.

"Fuck." Zhang Xinyu cursed, "It never ends."

She cleared her throat and picked up the phone. "Hello, I was busy this morning and didn't check my phone. Huh? That's not good. My mother told me not to accept gifts from boys casually. OK, I'll put on makeup when I see you tomorrow, and I'll contact you when I come down. OK, bye."

Noticing Zhao Liying's surprised look, Zhang Xinyu smiled and said, "Maybe I'm not mistaken. This guy is really rich. He said he bought me a Chanel bag. Well, I'd better take it. I'll check whether it's real or not."

Zhao Liying gave her a thumbs up.

Zhang Xinyu chuckled, "I didn't say anything, I didn't do anything, and these men just obediently gave me money. What can I do?"

Zhao Liying knew that this was indeed the case.
She really envied this kind of popularity with men. She sometimes thought that if she really became famous one day, it would definitely be because of her female fans.

The two of them took a taxi and went to the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". From makeup and shooting to the end of work, it took less than three hours in total.

The leader of the group who found work for Zhang Xinyu this time was a middle-aged man in his 40s, a little older than He Yong, with a very special name, Li Bai.

He was a very nice and gentle person. When he saw the two girls coming over, he smiled and said, "Are you done? Thank you for your hard work."

Seeing that Zhao Liying's forehead was a little sweaty, he immediately asked the person next to him to go to the store and buy her two bottles of iced drinks.

"Alas, today's play is both simple and difficult. If it weren't for your two strengths, it wouldn't be so easy to perform."

After praising him a few more times, he gave the money without hesitation.

"Thank you, Brother Li." "Thank you, Boss Li."

Zhao Liying and the others took the money, thanked them, and left chatting and laughing.

There were a few extras at the entrance of the convenience store, just watching coldly.

One of the men was surprised and asked, "Scumbag Li reserved two lucrative jobs for these two people today? But in the end, they didn't do anything and just let the two beauties go like that?"

A woman was also puzzled: "Fuck that scumbag Li. I took a job from him last week, and he insisted on touching me when I paid him. These two are not bad looking either. What's going on? Are they his biological daughters?"

Everyone laughed together.

"That scumbag Li, who can't even give birth to a son, can only give birth to a daughter."

"You're right, this bastard. The day before yesterday I agreed to pay him 200 yuan, but later he just deducted 50 yuan from me. Fuck you."

"Haha, under normal circumstances, he is famous in Hengdian."

Not only did they feel strange, but several of Li Bai's close confidants also felt quite surprised.

The guy with the flat head who had just run to help buy water asked, "Brother Li, who are these two women?"

Li Bai smiled coldly: "Don't ask, it has nothing to do with you. Anyway, remember this in the future. When you see these two ladies in Hengdian, be polite to me."

Another girl came to her senses and asked, "Boss Li, is it because of He Yong's incident that Chen was later signed?"

Li Bai interrupted, "That's enough, just know it. Don't tell anyone."

The girl looked envious and jealous, and said sourly: "I think these two girls are just so-so. What does that guy see in them?"

Li Bai laughed and said, "That's a good question. Don't you know that this is one of the three latest unsolved mysteries in Hengdian?"

"Haha, Li Tou, are you guys playing this again in the group? What are the other two?"

Li Bai smiled and said nothing. He added in his mind, of course, why am I still playing a supporting role and when will that idiot He Yong return home.

Zhao Liying and Zhang Xinyu took the money, happily walked hand in hand, and prepared to go out for seafood in the evening to reward themselves.

As a result, Zhang Xinyu's high-end mobile phone rang again.

She and Zhao Liying were talking about an incident during filming, where one of the extras' clothes got torn, revealing half of his buttocks. The two were talking and laughing on the street.

Taking out her cell phone and seeing the number, the smile on Zhang Xinyu's face suddenly disappeared. She picked up the phone respectfully, "Hello, Qi Da, hello."

Then Zhao Liying saw her, her eyes suddenly widened, her voice trembling a little: "Yes, yes, no problem, definitely no problem, okay, I got it. Tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock, okay, I will be there on time. Thank you, thank you, thank you Qi Da."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xinyu turned around and said in a daze, without waiting for Zhao Liying to ask, "Qi Da said that they will be back tomorrow and asked me to... I will prepare, tomorrow, I will join the group tomorrow."

Zhao Liying was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and asked in surprise, "Which group?"

Zhang Xinyu stammered, but didn't utter the two words for a moment.

At this moment, her cell phone rang again.

Zhao Liying saw the five big words "Bar No. 2 Zhang" appear on Zhang Xinyu's huge iPhone screen.

She knew Zhang Xinyu's habits.
Bar is the place, No. 2 is the time, and Zhang is the surname.

This person should be the rich man who called before.

Zhao Liying felt that Zhang Xinyu might not have come to her senses yet, and she just answered the call casually. It was obvious that she was not in the right state in the first few sentences.

"Oh yeah. Ah. Ah?"

After agreeing a few times, Zhang Xinyu blinked and asked in confusion: "Meet? What meeting? Oh, by the way, don't call me. I was in a bad mood yesterday. If there is anything that made you misunderstand, I apologize to you. That's it. Bye."

Zhao Liying asked in a complicated tone: "You don't want to wrap it anymore?"

Zhang Xinyu giggled and said, "If I want it, can't I buy it myself? Did you see Fan Binbing asking someone for the bag? Xiaoying, don't do these fancy things. What are you thinking about all day long?"

It was Chen Nuo who decided to let Zhang Xinyu join the group.

Since he promised Teacher Li to act well, he really did what he said.

That night he took out the script of The Whistleblower and read it again.

I mainly think about the scenes after he returns. Because the version they are shooting now is actually very different from the previous Huayi version.

It is closer to the original novel or the TV series version of the previous life.

For example, Gu Xiaomeng is really a young lady.

Li Lingyu is the old ghost, that is, the underground party member.

The script also changed many plots that were completely illogical in the Huayi version.

It’s like there’s a scene in the original version.

Two underground party members, Zhang Hanyu and Zhou Xun, met in the room.

Zhang Hanyu knew that there were many eavesdropping devices installed in the room.

So he threatened Zhou Xun while walking around the room, covering all the bugs under the desk and coffee table with tape.
Afterwards, he began to collude with Zhou Xun in his testimony, thinking that the Japanese would not be able to hear him.

When Chen Nuo saw this, he thought this was a stupid plot.
The Japs can’t hear anymore, but do they still need to hear?
The bug was inexplicably covered with tape. There were only two of you in the room. If you are not underground party members, then who the hell is?

But the strange thing is that there is clearly no such plot in the script this time, and Fan Binbing did not contact Huang Bo in this way.

I don’t know what the problem is.

After reviewing it carefully, Chen Nuo found something wrong in the script.

So, he called Qi Yuntian.

He chose Zhang Xinyu because this girl's temperament just matched the feeling he wanted.

Under Major Takeda, a beautiful and sexy Japanese female spy replaced the stupid soldier guard in the original script. Because he felt that at this time, unless all the Japanese were dead, he would let the puppet army take charge of guarding the suspects.

This is a minor role, with few scenes and few lines. He speaks only Japanese, which is very suitable for a vase who can't act.

Not long after, Qi Yuntian replied.

Zhang Xinyu has made all the arrangements.
Ning Hao and Mai Jia also said that there was no problem, and they all praised Chen for being a master of all trades. Not only was he a world-class actor, he was also a very successful screenwriter. If this continued, how would they survive?

Chen Nuo knew that if it was half a month ago, even if what he said was right, Mai Jia would definitely not have said such a thing about changing the script on the spot. Even if he was the largest investor and producer, so what?

When intellectuals get angry, they dare to scold anyone, right?

But now
why so serious?

On August 8, Chen Nuo and Qi Yuntian returned to Hengdian.

His BJ's driver Linghu also came along this time.

This was a strong decision made by Lao Chen, who said that Linghu could drive if he had a car, or follow someone if he didn't have one.

Chen Nuo agreed.

After all, if he goes to the airport now and is recognized, there will be more or less fans surrounding him and asking for his autograph.

It’s quite dangerous if you think about it.

With this taciturn former bodyguard around, it would at least not be that easy for someone to stab him again.

While on the plane, Chen Nuo heard Qi Yuntian talk about something that was neither big nor small.

Qi Yuntian was quite annoyed when he said this.

"If I had known earlier, I would have thought of a way to force someone like that into the group. However, I didn't remember who Mr. Sun was at the time. It's my fault."

Nuonuo blinked, "So, who is that Teacher Sun?"

Qi Yuntian rubbed his nose and said, "Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? Sun Haiying is..."

"Oh, he won the Golden Eagle Award for Audience's Favorite Actor, so he's awesome. His wife is also awesome. She won the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award and the Best Actress Award at the Tokyo Film Festival more than 10 years ago. She saw that our movie might be popular, so she wanted to put someone in our crew. Then you disagreed, so she said she'll see what happens. Right."

In addition, Chen Nuo actually knew that in his previous life, this man and his wife not only believed in Jesus and the devil, but also went to the United States and ridiculed China in some media. Later, they applied for immigration, but failed, so they had to return to China.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is extremely disgusting.

Qi Yuntian said: "Almost. In fact, there have been a lot of such things recently. With your current situation, everyone in the circle knows that our drama will be a hit. Therefore, many people want to squeeze people in. Including Ning Haoqunshu, they are under a lot of pressure."

"I wanted them to focus on filming and not get involved in these things, so I took over all the work. These two were among them. However, it's okay for him to scold me. The main reason is that I'm worried that he won't be able to let it go and will make things difficult for you in the future. So I'm giving you a heads up."

Chen Nuo raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did he scold you for?"

Qi Yuntian was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, and said nothing for a while.

Five days later, Chen Nuo found out.

At that time, he was putting on makeup and preparing to shoot a major scene in The Message.

At this time, Pan Chengrong called him from Xichuan and asked, "Chen Nuo, has something happened to Xiao Qi? I just called Professor Li and heard that her voice was not right, as if she was crying. I asked a few questions, and she said it was a family matter and told me not to interfere."

"No," Chen Nuo said subconsciously, then he reacted, comforted Pan Chengrong a few words and hung up the phone.

Afterwards, he found a video on the Internet, which should be Sun Haiying being interviewed by a Jiangsu TV station.

He expressed some opinions on homosexuality, especially mentioning a person by name.

"As far as I know, Chen Nuo's agent Qi Yuntian is such a person. As the saying goes, a red flower becomes red, a black flower becomes black. I am very concerned about whether Chen Nuo will be affected. This is not something that can be described as moral depravity or corruption. It is simply a crime! This is against human nature and is a crime!"

After reading it, Chen Nuo asked the makeup artist next to him, "Where is Mr. Qi?"

"I'm outside talking to Director Wong Kar-wai."

Chen Nuo nodded thoughtfully and said nothing.

While Chen Nuo was putting on makeup, Zhang Xinyu and Fan Bingbing were also making their final preparations in the dressing room next to him.

It has been five days since she joined the crew. After the initial nervousness, Zhang Xinyu has also gotten used to doing makeup in the same room with a Hundred Flowers Award winner or a TV idol when she has a role to play. However, she is still not used to seeing the clown that is now all the rage around the world.

After all, news about "The Dark Knight" still comes in from home and abroad every day.

Last weekend, after it officially became the third billion-dollar box office movie, media around the world gave it collective coverage.

Because, how many years have passed.

This $10 billion box office achievement has caused countless high-profile movies to fail.

It is like a wall of sighs that is infinitely high above and below and infinitely far to the left and right.

No matter who comes, no one can cross it.

It not only keeps Harry Potter and Spider-Man out of the wall, but also keeps Pirates of the Caribbean and Jedi Knights away.

Who could have expected that this wall of despair would be broken down by a little knight in rags and from a declining family, armed with a spear.

Even after breaking through the wall, his strength was not exhausted.

In just four days,

With a global box office of 12.1 billion US dollars, it officially surpassed "The Lord of the Rings III" to become the second best-selling movie in the world.

This caused the effect of a Category 12 typhoon.

Even Zhang Xinyu saw the news about the almost forgotten Batman in the entertainment section of Net3. When Christian Bale was interviewed by Variety magazine, he proudly declared: "Maybe by the time Batman is released, we will be able to pull the Titanic from the bottom of the sea."

There is no need to state the implied meaning!

Under such a media offensive, The Dark Knight's third weekend box office did not fall but rose compared to the second week, showing a resurgence.

In just 3 days, it received another 1.6 million US dollars from around the world.

It brought the global box office to a terrifying height of 13.7 billion US dollars.

It also caused Warner's stock to rise by 13.7% in one day, breaking through the $50 mark on the way. Although it fell back at the close, the market value still reached 302 billion US dollars, up 23.6% from before the release of The Dark Knight.

As one of the two creators of miracles, Christopher Nolan's name is destined to be recorded in film history. The dark-style superhero movies he pioneered are also destined to be imitated and paid tribute to by countless directors and production companies.

And what about the other half?
In a CBS news video forwarded by Sina, Zhang Xinyu saw the pregnant president of Warner Bros., who had just returned from a vacation in the Caribbean, being stopped by reporters at the airport.

The fat man said with a smile: "Negotiations with No Chen about Batman III have already begun. Both sides had a very pleasant discussion and have reached a preliminary agreement. At the same time, Warner Bros. will fully support him in his bid to win the first Oscar for an Asian actor at this year's Oscars."

He is the president of Warner Bros., one of the six giants in Hollywood!

When she heard the strangely pronounced word "luochen" from his mouth, she thought of the man she had met on the set these two days. He was the "magical genius boy" that was being talked about by the media all over the world, and the "kind friend" that one of the most authoritative people in the world film industry had mentioned.

When she thought of this, Zhang Xinyu couldn't help herself and had a lot of thoughts every night.

Seeing Fan Bingbing's calmness at this moment, Zhang Xinyu couldn't help but secretly admire her fellow sister.

I felt that if I were about to film a scene like this, I would definitely not be able to act as if nothing had happened. Especially when the target was Chen Nuo!
Zhang Xinyu couldn't help but ask, "Sister Binbing, aren't you nervous?"

Fan Binbing smiled calmly, "It's not like I'm completely naked, so why should I be nervous?"

Zhang Xinyu didn't know what was going on, her face suddenly turned red: "But, but."

Fan Binbing seemed to know what she was thinking. Before she could finish, he said calmly, "Xinyu, as a professional actor, you cannot have distracting thoughts."
