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

Chapter 244 Congratulations, Brother Nuo
The next day, Chen Nuo had no scenes to perform the whole day, so he could rest peacefully.

Actually, his role in this movie is not as big as that of Teacher Kim Hye-ja.

However, every scene he appears in is important.

It is Lu Xiangyu's experience that links the entire movie together.

Every step of development and every reversal in the script revolves around him.

He doesn't have to worry about the Cannes jury treating him the same way they did his performance in My Blueberry Nights.
It is said that he has few roles and cannot be considered the male lead.

Chen Nuo gets angry whenever he thinks about this incident.

Taking advantage of the alcohol from last night, Chen Nuo slept comfortably until noon in this rural hotel in Korea.

After that, he got up and went to the restaurant booked by the crew with Linghu. He had just finished lunch when he received a call from Qi Yuntian.

Qi Yuntian spoke Chinese on the phone, and his tone was a bit strange, as if he was hiding something.

"We're in Daegu now. We'll be there in a little while."

"Yeah, I'll pick you up at the village entrance."

"Okay, bring a bottle of water. Your sister is a little carsick and just vomited on the road."

"Okay." Chen Nuo yawned and suddenly realized, "What sister? You mean Choi Sulli?"

"Yeah, of course it's Choi Sulli, otherwise you have several sisters."

Chen Nuo took a sip of tea and said impatiently: "I don't even have a sister, what are you talking about?"

Qi Yuntian's tone was very calm, "Before Aunt Pan went to Japan, I heard you talk about Cui Xueli. It seemed that your mother felt sorry for this little girl and told you not to bother with her. Do you remember?"

Chen Nuo frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

Qi Yuntian ignored him and said slowly on the phone: "Brother Nuo, I'm in Seoul for this period of time. I plan to work with that Han to deal with Cui Xueli's parents, right?"

"Damn it, they are such bad parents. They bumped into Aunt Pan and broke the precious necklace you gave her. How can we not teach this family a lesson? Right?"

As Chen Nuo listened to Qi Yuntian's nonsense, he felt more and more that something was wrong.

Because he is like that too.

When you encounter something particularly funny, especially an embarrassing thing that happens to a good friend, you will be reluctant to expose it all at once. You must take your time, build up your emotions, and finally laugh your ass off at the other person's panicked reaction.

He is a great man...right? How could he let others make fun of him?
Chen Nuo asked calmly: "And then?"

Qi Yuntian said: "Then the couple were really bad people. When they saw us asking them for money, they started to play dirty tricks. One moment they said Choi Sulli was not their daughter and had nothing to do with them. The next moment they said she was unfilial and had severed ties with her."

"Anyway, they just refused to pay the money. Finally, Han Zhenghao hired a lawyer to write an agreement to give up custody rights."

Chen Nuo asked word by word: "Give up custody?"

"Yes, give up the custody of Choi Sulli." Qi Yuntian repeated word by word.

When Chen Nuo heard this, he already had a feeling that something was not going well.

Qi Yuntian seemed to know as well, and his smile grew wider: "What Han Zhenghao meant was that he didn't handle this matter properly before, and he felt very guilty. So, he wanted to solve this matter for you completely."

"If Choi Sulli gets involved with his parents, she will definitely not have a good ending. This is a good opportunity to help her get out of her misery, and then..."

Chen Nuo suppressed his thoughts and interrupted, "What's next? In this hellhole of a place like Korea, what can we do next? Find one of her relatives or friends to be her guardian? Sooner or later, we will end up in the same place."

Qi Yuntian said in amazement: "Brother Nuo, you are so right. Hey, everyone says that you scored 412 points in the college entrance examination because you tried your best. Only I am sure that you were holding back, otherwise the top scorer that year..."

Chen Nuo coughed and said, "Let's not talk about the past, let's talk about business."

Qi Yuntian chuckled and said, "Anyway, Brother Nuo, your wisdom has infected me from a distance. I think the same as you do. So, when Han Zhenghao told me about it, I didn't take it seriously."

"Later, Han Zhenghao found her relatives, but none of them were willing to take her in. They all knew that Choi Sulli had gotten into a big trouble and were afraid of having to bear her current debt."

"Then this is troublesome. According to Korean law, if she is sent to a juvenile welfare home, her situation will be ten thousand times worse than it is now."

Chen Nuo cursed, "Looking for trouble, making trouble out of nothing. I know that Han Zhenghao looks smart, but he is actually unreliable. Then what?"

"Then..." Qi Yuntian said in a low voice: "Your mother called you last night but you didn't answer, so she called me directly to ask about the situation here, and I briefly mentioned this to her."

Chen Nuo remembered that when Pan Chengrong called him last night, he was drinking with Bong Joon-ho. Later, when he saw the missed call, he was so drunk that he forgot to reply.

Damn it! No way? Qi Yuntian, this bitch, took such a big detour. Is it really what I thought?

Chen Nuo calmed down and asked, "What did she say?"

Qi Yuntian said: "Aunt Pan said that Cui Xueli is already 14 years old, and it is only four years away from 18. If it really doesn't work out, she will be the guardian for the next few years."

"This kind of international adoption is difficult for our country. But you know, in Korea, with all the chaebols, it seems like it's just a matter of words. And Han Zhenghao said he would take care of it."

"Auntie Pan will come to Korea in a few days to handle the paperwork. So, brother Nuo, congratulations, you now have a sister in these four years."

……

Qi Yuntian and his group arrived very quickly.

After finishing their meal, Chen Nuo and Linghu walked slowly to the entrance of the village. On the way, they met the crew of "Mother" who were filming. They chatted with Bong Joon-ho and appreciated the superb performance of teacher Kim Hye-ja.

After arriving at the entrance of the village, he waited for about ten minutes before he saw a black nanny car coming from the winding country road and stopped at the entrance of the village, not far from him.

Qi Yuntian got out of the car first, waved to him with a smile and greeted him.

Then there is Choi Sulli.

This little girl was wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt and tight jeans today. She had long legs and looked quite tall. Although she was a junior high school student, there was absolutely no problem in saying that she was a high school student in the play.

As soon as she saw him, Choi Sulli immediately bowed more than 90 degrees and said loudly, "Chen Nuo Oppa!"

He was indeed a dancer, his face was almost touching his knees, and he didn't get up for a long time.

Chen Nuo heard from Qi Yuntian that the girl didn't know how things had turned out and was planning to save money to compensate him for the necklace after her debut.

Little did she know that her mother had thrown her away like garbage, and legally speaking, she was already an orphan.

Besides, she can't make any achievements and can't make any money.

Before long, she might have to board a plane to another strange country. Apart from a short trip, she might not be able to come back until at least four years later.

Chen Nuo could have completely prevented this somewhat absurd and sudden incident. In fact, it was still not too late.

But he did not try to persuade Pan Chengrong.

Just as he also understood why Pan Chengrong made the decision out of goodwill and impulse, his cold-blooded father Chen Bicheng, who was a coal boss, did not object.

there are many reasons.

Perhaps it was because his only son was not around and they only saw each other a few times throughout the year. The two of them didn't have a dog or a cat, and they didn't know how long it would take before they had a grandchild, so he softened his heart.

But more importantly, Chen Nuo feels that what has happened in the past year has made everyone have more insights into life and living.

Just like Pan Chengrong hasn't played mahjong for a month.

The same goes for him.

There are many things he can't do, but if he can really save this life with his own hands because of his rebirth, it will be a kind of comfort.

At least, the bad mood that had been with him for a long time did become a little better when he saw Cui Xueli lowering her head, following Qi Yuntian carefully and walking towards him.

Chen Nuo said solemnly in Korean, with a straight face, "You came so late, the director is waiting anxiously. He was asking you yesterday why you hadn't arrived yet."

Choi Sulli was startled by his appearance. Without even raising her head, she immediately bowed again and kept repeating, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Cui Xueli was accompanied by a young man of about 27 or 8 years old, who also bowed with Cui Xueli, "I'm sorry, Chen Nuoxi."

Chen Nuo asked: "Who are you?"

The young man put his legs together, bowed 90 degrees and said, "I am the agent of Sulli from SM Entertainment. My name is Jeon Jun-hyun. Chen Nuoxi, it's our first meeting. I'm sorry to have kept you and the director waiting for so long."

Chen Nuo asked Qi Yuntian in Chinese: "SM company doesn't know yet?"

Qi Yuntian smiled and said, "I don't know, but Han Zhenghao said we don't need to worry about this. They still signed a trainee contract."

Chen Nuo nodded and said no more.

Choi Sulli's audition went smoothly.

After all, this high school girl was just a minor role, introducing the plot. She had only a few shots and no more than five lines, which was a piece of cake for Choi Sulli, who was a child star.

If Bong Joon-ho values ​​appearance, as Chen Nuo expected, although Choi Sulli's appearance cannot be said to be stunning, but when she wears the high school uniform in the play, she is exactly the purity that Bong Joon-ho wants.

Especially the scars on her face caused by her mother's nails, which have not yet healed completely, made Bong Joon-ho feel like he had found a treasure.

It was even decided to give her one more shot, so that this real scar could give the character more background and connotation.

The first scene Choi Sulli filmed was on the second night, where Chen Nuo followed her.

A handsome but mentally handicapped young man saw a girl in a school skirt on his way home at night.

He suddenly remembered that his friends had laughed at him for not understanding the relationship between men and women and for never having had sex with a woman.

He looked at the girl walking on the road at night with her schoolbag on her back, and saw her exposed calves, soft waist, and body features that were different from his own. The fool muttered something incomprehensible, and followed the girl's footsteps, learning from his friends how to approach girls.

The camera was about one person's distance away from Chen Nuo, and the photographer gave him a medium-distance close-up.

Choi Sulli had just finished filming her solo shot at this time, and Bong Joon-ho asked her to come over and watch the monitor with him to get a feel for the upcoming rival scene.

"Look, Shirley, this is Chen Nuo's most amazing thing, his eyes."

"It's not just me. Directors all over the world think that his eyes are his best feature. They really speak volumes."

Bong Joon-ho pointed at the picture on the monitor screen and said with admiration.

After hearing what he said, Choi Sulli looked more seriously.

On the surveillance camera screen, a handsome young man with a bowl-cut haircut was looking forward, walking at a moderate pace, and the camera also moved with him at a steady pace.

There was actually no one in front of him, because the girl he was following was watching him act next to the monitor.

However, both his eyes and the direction of every step he took were extremely purposeful, as if there was really a girl in a skirt in front of him, and he couldn't help but follow her.

Yes, as director Bong Joon-ho said, especially his eyes.

Choi Sulli had never thought that someone could perform eye contact to this level.

And an actor can express so many things just by using his eyes.

The young man in the camera doesn't just focus on one point, because his brain is different from that of normal people.

So, his attention will suddenly be drawn to other things.

He would walk and suddenly look to the side, at a flower or a blade of grass by the roadside, or a brick on the wall or a water pipe.

He would stare at these other things for a few seconds, then suddenly look back at the girl in front of him.

Choi Sulli felt that Chen Nuo's eyes were focused on the area between her buttocks and thighs as a high school girl.

Although she was not in front of him, his eyes always stayed on the same place every time they moved and came back.

There is no high and no low.

Choi Sulli had only occasionally seen people with intellectual disabilities on the street and didn't have much impression of them, but at this moment, all the scenes that had already become blurred in her memory came to her mind all at once.

Indeed, that is what they are.

The realism of this performance was so strong that it gave her goosebumps all over her body.

Directors all over the world believe that his eyes can speak. What a high compliment this is from Director Bong Joon-ho. But Choi Sulli is now on the scene and feels that it is so appropriate.

No, it's not just the eyes.

Choi Sulli noticed that the young man in the camera was biting his hand, and he would bite the dead skin on his thumb from time to time.

Choi Sulli initially thought that this action was intended to show Noh Sang-woo's intellectual disability.

But after watching it for more than ten seconds, she found that rather than showing intellectual problems, it was more like injecting some childishness into the character through the form of biting the thumb, making him look more innocent and simple, and at the same time making the person more vivid.

Because of the character's stupidity, he has shown it enough through his lifeless and neurotic eyes, the silly smile at the corner of his mouth, and the weird expression that is neither a smile nor a smile.

Is that right?

Choi Sulli didn't understand if what she felt was right.

After this set of shots was completed and Bong Joon-ho asked them to shoot again, she plucked up the courage to ask him her questions.

Bong Joon-ho laughed and said, "That's true. You are not wrong. It's good enough for you to understand this at your age. However, as a Korean actress valued by Chen Nuoxi, this is not enough."

Choi Sulli was stunned.

The Korean actress that Chen Nuo Oppa took a fancy to?
Who? Me?
Bong Joon-ho looked at her dazed look and was actually a little curious.

When complaining to Chen Nuo, Bong Joon-ho never expected that Chen Nuo would actually recommend him a relatively famous Korean teenage actress.

What is the relationship between the two of them?
How did you meet?
In the past two days, countless people in the crew have been lamenting how lucky this Korean girl is, and there have been many discussions about these two issues in secret. Although Choi Sulli is too young, no one would think wrongly. However, there are indeed many people who are curious about this.

That includes him.

Cui Xueli came back to her senses and said with some shame: "Director, I don't understand, I'm sorry."

Bong Joon-ho smiled and said, "Shirley, what you just said is just the appearance. The essence can be attributed to the fact that in Chen Nuo's acting world, he always performs very restrainedly."

"Shirley, you should know that acting is not difficult. Most qualified actors can express joy, anger, sadness, and happiness."

"But knowing when to laugh and how much to laugh, and when to cry and how much to cry, is the difficult part."

"Giving the director exactly what he wants, neither more nor less, this is the quality a good actor must have."

Choi Sulli looked at the monitor screen thoughtfully. As the script supervisor clapped the clapboard, the filming began again.

Looking at the young man in the camera who felt completely different from his usual Oppa but looked exactly the same, she couldn't help but say, "So, this is what Chen Nuo Oppa is like."

Bong Joon-ho looked at the monitor and didn't say anything until the camera was finished. After saying "ok", he turned around and said, "No. Chen Nuoxi is not the good actor I just said."

"He is now more advanced than the Joker in The Dark Knight. In the field of acting, I think he has reached a very high level. He no longer thinks about things like you, Shirley. He is also not like the actors I mentioned, who try to satisfy the director's requirements."

"He is probably struggling with his own performance state now."

"If he's in good shape, he can win any film award in the world."

"If he's not in good shape," Bong Joon-ho said to Choi Sulli, "He's the good actor I just mentioned."

Choi Sulli's not-so-bright brain still didn't quite understand what Bong Joon-ho said.

But she didn't have time to think about anything else, as the next scene between her and him began.

It can't be considered a rivalry.

After the high school girl died, the young man grabbed her legs and dragged her body backwards from the stairs outside the house to the roof of the dark two-story building.

Then hang her on the railing.

In filming, this is a complete shot from beginning to end.

The crew laid a layer of wooden boards on the nearly 45-degree steps. Because of the angle, Choi Sulli had put on a pair of safety pants, but she was still a little shy and nervous thinking about Chen Nuo's gaze.

She even wondered if Chen Nuo would come and comfort her.

Unfortunately not.

She saw that while the crew was preparing for filming, Chen Nuo was squatting alone on the grass nearby.

He was biting his hand, grinning, and talking to himself.

He looked very busy, and was playing with something invisible in the air.

It looks weird and scary.

But the people in the crew seemed to have gotten used to it. No one disturbed him, and they walked very quietly when passing by.

For some reason, Choi Sulli's somewhat uneasy heart calmed down.

"Action."

After the script manager announces and hits the cue.

Choi Sulli was pulled up the stairs by Chen Nuo, holding her ankle.

Director Bong Joon-ho said that her face cannot be seen in the camera, so it is completely possible to find a stand-in.

But Choi Sulli refused.

Since she couldn't see his face, she opened her eyes wide and stared at the young man who was dragging her in front of her.

Her long hair dragged on the ground, and she rubbed it against the wooden board motionlessly, causing her buttocks and back to feel hot from the friction.

How anxiously he looked at her, clearly worried.

He didn't know what had happened and why she had become so motionless.

There was no doubt that he was concerned about her and wanted to save her.

This simple and naive fool finally dragged her onto the balcony and hung her on the railing.

Choi Sulli tried her best to relax her body and let the other party manipulate her.

Finally, after being hung on the railing in a strange posture,

Finally, I heard the director on site say “Cut”.

Choi Sulli breathed a sigh of relief. Although she felt that Chen Nuo was trying his best to avoid it, her knees and elbows were still rubbed by the hard and rough ground and the concrete railings, causing them to bleed and hurt.

She wiped the blood off, feeling a little worried. If she did it again, would the scars be exposed?
But when she turned around, she saw the man who caused her injury looking at her expressionlessly and said lightly, "Not bad at all." Then he turned around and went downstairs.

Cui Xueli was stunned for a long time, and suddenly couldn't help laughing. The strange thing was that at that moment her hands and feet seemed to have no pain at all.
