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

Chapter 222 The demon that brings disaster to the country and the people

The next day, Chen Nuo slept till dawn and didn't know whether it was day or night. He was finally awakened by feeling hungry.

The bedroom was dark because the thick curtains were drawn. On the bedside table stood a bowl of steaming lean meat porridge, the aroma of which filled his nose.

This must be the culprit that woke him up.

Wen Yongshan didn't know how long she had been up. She was wearing pajamas, with her back to him, concentrating on watching something on the computer in the corner of the bedroom.

Seeing her clicking the mouse here and there, Chen Nuo wanted to tiptoe and scare her, but life was not a TV series, and as soon as he stood up, she turned around.

Wen Yongshan's fair and clean face was full of smiles. She seemed to be in a good mood. Unlike before going to bed, she was sullen and silent. Now she spoke with great energy: "Darling, are you awake? I made some porridge for you. Come and drink some."

Chen Nuo stretched out on the bed and said weakly, "What time did you get up?"

Wen Yongshan blinked and said, "I just got up."

Haha, you little liar who winks at people while lying, showing off your skills in front of me. It takes Hong Kong people three hours to make porridge, right?

Chen Nuo looked at the watch. It was past 10 o'clock.

He slept less than 6 hours.
And this girl probably got up at 7 or 8 to cook breakfast for him. She probably slept for two or three hours at most last night.

Chen Nuo didn't say anything either.

Because once two people have been together for a long time, they really can't say those cheesy words, especially with his personality.

Although he doesn't say it, he will do it.

Unlike some men, who neither say nor do anything, they can only wait to die.

Chen Nuo got out of bed, took the bowl of love porridge from the bedside table, drank two mouthfuls without rinsing his mouth or washing his face.

Then he held the bowl, drank from it, and walked barefoot towards Wen Yongshan, asking, "The porridge is good, it's cooked perfectly. I say, who are you chatting with so early in the morning? I just saw that you seemed to be chatting happily. Check for me quickly, is it some pretty boy who is seducing my wife?"

When Wen Yongshan heard this, he smiled brightly. Without saying a word, he stood up, rushed to Chen Nuo, hugged his neck and kissed him hard on the face.

"There's no such thing as a pretty boy. I'm just reading movie reviews! Darling, I love you the most in the whole world. You know that."

Chen Nuo certainly knew there was no such thing as a gigolo, because he himself was one. If there was even a poll for the whitest gigolo in China, he would probably be the one to win with a high vote.

He also kissed Wen Yongshan and asked with some concern: "What do the reviews say? What's the Douban score now?"

Wen Yongshan said with a chuckle: "Guess?"

The answer is 9.1 points.

Not only did the score reach 9, but 95% of the reviews were generally good, with 4-5 stars. Even Janice Man was praised among them. No wonder he was so happy.

"Come, Darling, eat your porridge and I'll read to you."

Janice Man started to speak with the lines she learned in school with a smile: "The love between Janice Man and Chen Nuo was a step that changed her life. And this woman resolutely gave up her career in Hong Kong and returned to the Beijing Film Academy to study acting with the help of Chen Nuo, which was a step that changed her career.

The short few minutes of her guest appearance in "The Sound of Wind" made me forget that she was the expressionless girl in "The Iron Triangle".

She played the female assassin's handsomeness and coolness in her own way, which also left a deep impression on the audience. For her, who was still a young model more than a year ago, this is a high score.

On the other hand, another female character in the play is Liu.

Chen Nuo was sitting on the bed, drinking porridge and listening to Wen Yongshan reading a film review. He was listening with great interest.

Unexpectedly, the girl stopped talking all of a sudden and said nonchalantly, "That's it for this one. I'll read you the next one."

"No, keep going. Liu what, what's written below?"

But Janice Man refused to read it to him, and found another article on Douban, saying, "This article has the most likes, but my article is not included. I'll read it to you again."

There is indeed a reason for the high number of likes. An article with several thousand words is written in a brilliant and colorful way, praising all the main characters in The Sound of the Wind.
He said that Jiang Wen's Wang Tianxiang was "his greatest breakthrough in his career, and it is estimated that it will be the swan song of historians and the Li Sao without rhyme. There will be no villain Jiang next time."

It is said that Fan Binbing's Li Ningyu is "a demon who brings disaster to the country and the people, but she is willing to sacrifice her life for her ideals. The moment the mystery of her being an "old ghost" is revealed, it is heartbreaking and makes people cry."

Then he praised Duan Yihong's Bai Xiaonian as "vivid and lifelike", and praised Yu Hewei for "acting like himself".

He also praised Huang Bo, saying that "after Crazy Stone Black Skin, another impressive role. The electric torture scene is unbearable to watch. It fully demonstrates his future potential" and "witnessed the rise of a very malleable actor in the mainland."

However, after listening for a while, Chen Nuo felt as if two people were missing.

One is him, and the other is Mr. Liu.

After he finished his porridge, he grabbed the mouse and looked at it, only to find that there was a reason why Wen Yongshan didn't study.

It turns out that they were not good words.

"Chen Nuo is wasting his talent and achievements by playing this Japanese officer."

"I have the opportunity to compete with Liu Yifei on the same stage in The Wind,
Go ask about Nolan's new film script, go chat with Hirokazu Koreeda, go have a cup of tea with Lee Chang-dong, go contact Spielberg and the Coen brothers. Isn't he good at talking? "

"Shouldn't Chen Nuo's next goal be the Best Actor Oscar?

At the very least, he could return to Cannes and take back the Best Actor trophy that originally belonged to him.
Thus, he started an unprecedented road to becoming the best actor, winning the three major European awards and the Oscar Grand Slam!!!"

"Having already crossed the high wall of the yellow race at Oscar, and continued to move forward, it can almost be said that this is the historical mission he shoulders alone, isn't it?"

"No matter what the outcome, even if he runs out of strength and collapses on the road, there will be tens of millions of people carrying his coffin."

"If this person continues to play supporting roles in films like The Message and stays in his comfort zone without making any progress, even if the film sells 10 billion, I will loudly question him:
Chen Nuo, have you forgotten?

The oath I made in front of the national audience on CCTV,

The young man who promised to bring the first Oscar to Chinese cinema,
Has it been wiped out by you?"

Chen Nuo looked at the last sentence, was stunned for a while, and asked: "If I remember correctly, I won the Oscar half a year after the filming of The Whistleblower was completed, right?"

Wen Yongshan laughed to death, "Yes."

Chen Nuo sneered twice, silently noted down the Douban ID that was slandering him, and continued to read the comments about Liu Yifei in this highly praised long review.

In fact, it wasn't that bad, and was milder than he had imagined, but he wrote a lot about it.

"Liu Yifei, who plays the eldest daughter of the Gu family, cried for Li Ningyu's death in the play, but it still failed to move me. Because her emotions were not coherent, it felt like she was crying for the sake of crying.

She didn't feel any pain in the face of this most serious subject matter, which is actually a very scary thing.

Her past acting experience is largely responsible for this.

She has appeared in various TV series since she was young, and the directors and her agents have guided her in extremely irresponsible ways of character creation.

Before her intelligence matured, she was turned into a simple symbol by the "strong" people.

As a result, she formed a simple idea in her future acting direction: I smile beautifully, I cry beautifully, I look as natural as possible, and I am a good actor.

Think about her performance in Tian Long (Tian Long) , The Return of the Condor Heroes (The Legend of Condor Heroes) and The Chinese Paladin (The Legend of Sword and Fairy). Her clear eyes and pure looks are her only weapons.

At that time, she must have never thought about whether this was the right way to handle the role. Because the director was so brilliant and she was so young, she just had to follow the crowd and be a "symbol".

So much so that no matter what role she plays now, she seems heartless.

Chen Nuo must have wanted to give her a hand, otherwise he would not have signed her and let her play such an important role in "The Sound of Wind" which is full of big names.

However, what Chen Nuo did not see through was that

Liu Yifei has never lacked opportunities to play the leading female role.

What she lacked was an opportunity to wake up.

What she lacks is a role that makes her feel alive. Just like the heavy weight of the mute gave Chen Nuo a good start in her acting career.

From then on, Chen Nuo had his own attitude no matter what work he performed.

He knows how to think, how to create, and how to polish.

So I think that today he has become a work of art polished by time.

Think about it.

The four months he lost in his life bought him an Oscar!
Even if Hollywood is xenophobic, there are not many doubts about his little golden man. Even if those old-fashioned people in the Academy are unwilling, they have to bite their tongue and vote for him.

This is exactly the ability that an independent and courageous actor possesses.

I'm not saying to compare her with Liu Yifei and Chen Nuo, but, Fan Binbing should be the goal she can catch up with, right?
But unfortunately, I saw two women from the same company in "The Sound of Wind". Apart from their complementary looks and figures, their acting skills were undoubtedly very different..."

After reading it, Chen Nuo didn't say anything for a long time.

Wen Yongshan said seriously: "I don't think Feifei is as bad as she said."

Hey, they are not saying that Liu Yifei is bad. Chen Nuo even dares to guarantee that the person who wrote this article is probably an old fan of Liu Yifei. The kind who is angry at her for not fighting back.

How was it? Chen Nuo didn't know.

However, that was about it for the first batch of film reviews last night, and he was mostly relieved.

Judging from the overall picture, for those die-hard fans, veteran moviegoers and film critics who watched the first screening, The Message should be a good movie.

He went to the bedside table and picked up his cell phone, just about to ask Qi Yuntian about the box office situation of last night's midnight show.

But he found out that Qi Yuntian had forwarded the box office data from China Film Group an hour ago.

The box office for the premiere midnight show was 1303 million.

Converted to the 3821 cinemas across the country where the film was released, each cinema contributed more than 3400 yuan on average.

That means there are about a hundred people sitting in each cinema.

This box office is exactly within the box office forecast range of 1000-1500 million by China Film Distribution Department, and is even a little higher.

These are already very good data.

If the subsequent reputation among ordinary audiences does not collapse, based on this good start, the originally planned target of 2.2 million should not be a problem, and it is only a matter of time before it replaces "Assembly" and takes the third place in the Chinese box office rankings.

This was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for the two new directors, Ning Hao and Gao Qunshu. No wonder Ning Hao's message of loyalty came right after Qi Yuntian's text message.

How could he not be faithful?
He was asked to be the director of two consecutive films invested by the company. This time, the crew was even better, with all kinds of big names at his disposal, and Wang Jiawei was asked to assist him. It can be said that the food was fed to him and chewed up for him to eat.

Even though he has only made two movies, he is now considered the fourth director with a box office of 3 million yuan, following Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kai.

If he doesn't show gratitude and pledge allegiance until death, when he leaves Huanxin Company, who would dare to employ him, the ungrateful Ning Tudou?

Chen Nuo was in a very good mood for the moment. When he talked to Janice Man about the box office, they both decided not to go out today and just party at home for the day.

It just so happens that Chen Nuo is going to Chengdu for a roadshow tomorrow.

After that, he will go to South Korea and Japan, and may not return to Beijing until April. As they are about to part, Chen Nuo himself will feel uneasy if he doesn't feed Wen Yongshan well.

However, just as she was about to go to bed for a nap, Janice Man immediately realized, "No, baby is still here. I'll go see if she's awake. Otherwise, let's go play outside together today."

Chen Nuo looked at Wen Yongshan's back, thought about it, and decided not to say anything for the time being.

Maybe Yang Ying was really blind and deaf for a moment and didn't know that someone was taking a bath inside.

The key point was that he didn't open the door. Yang Ying turned the handle twice but it didn't open. Then he stood there for a while and then quietly left.

Nothing happened.

There doesn't seem to be much to say.

But Chen Nuo still decided to find an opportunity to get Janice Man to ask her somewhat strange best friend to leave as soon as possible, so as to avoid any trouble later.

He doesn't have the habit of eating grass near his own yard.

When Wen Yongshan went to wake Yang Ying up, Yang Ying had actually already gotten up.

She got up earlier than Wen Yongshan and kept walking around the streets near Yulong Dingyu.

The wind in Beijing in March is much colder than that in Hong Kong, and it made Yang Ying tremble all over.

She didn't know where she got the courage from yesterday. After knowing that Chen Nuo came out to take a shower, she unexpectedly went to open the bathroom door.

The door was locked and never opened.

She didn't know if the other party heard her.

But then she calmed down and couldn't help but become extremely anxious, wondering whether Chen Nuo would tell Wen Yongshan.

She finally fell asleep, but woke up several times in a daze. Each time she dreamed that someone pushed open her door and told her in a cold voice in Cantonese that she was a prostitute who seduced her best friend's boyfriend and told her to get out immediately.

Finally, she couldn't sleep anymore, so she got up and went out.

No matter how tight the mask was, it could not block the invasion of cold air. Yang Ying felt that with every breath she took, a thorough chill seeped into her lungs.

She looked at her watch and it was almost noon.

Chen Nuo and Wen Yongshan should be awake.

But her cell phone still did not receive any calls scolding or cursing her, which meant that either Chen Nuo did not notice that she had opened the door, or he knew but did not tell Wen Yongshan.

Yang Ying really hoped it was the first one, otherwise, she didn’t know how to face Chen Nuo’s eyes.

Yang Ying walked to the gate of the community with a worried look on her face. She received a call from Wen Yongshan asking about the situation. She made an excuse to go out and buy something, saying that she would be back soon, and then she was ready to enter the gate of the community.

At this time, a smiling middle-aged man stood in front of her and handed her a business card.

"Miss Yang, right? Hello, I'm Lin Peng from Feixiang Entertainment. Do you have time to chat?"

Yang Ying was stunned for a moment, then looked around in panic.

Lin Peng smiled and said, "Ms. Yang, don't worry, I'm not a reporter. I just want to talk to you about your future. I can help you, really."

Yang Ying pulled her mask and shook her head, saying, "Thank you, but no thanks." Then she walked quickly inside.

Before she had taken two steps, she heard Lin Peng say loudly beside her: "Ms. Yang, do you want to spend your whole life watching your good friend enjoy glory?"

Yang Ying paused for a moment, but immediately continued walking forward.

Lin Peng raised his lips and followed closely, saying, "Ms. Yang, if I remember correctly, you and Miss Wen were once known as the twins in the modeling industry."

"As a result, you two are now just like Gillian and Ah Sa. Ms. Yang, are you willing to accept this? Gillian has basically quit the showbiz industry and her second half of life is ruined, while Ah Sa is very happy and I heard she is going to marry Zheng Zhongji soon."

"Ms. Yang, when will Miss Janice Wen marry Chen Nuo? If they get married, will you still stay here like this?"

Yang Ying hadn't slept the whole night and her head was dizzy and not very clear-headed. This man kept following her and saying things that made her upset.

Finally, she couldn't help but stop, turned around and shouted angrily: "What do you want to say?"

Lin Peng smiled and said, "Ms. Yang, I really don't have any ill will towards you. I just want to help you. Really. Just ten minutes. After ten minutes, just say NO and I will never bother you again."
