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

Chapter 26 Cindy
Zhang Yiyi said that he had been sleeping in the editing room during this period and finally finished most of the work. I just returned to school to visit Li Er and heard her mention that Chen Nuo went to Shanghai to film, so I called to ask about it.

Chen Nuo was having trouble getting into the role, so he took the opportunity to ask Zhang Yiyi about the difficulties he was currently facing in reading the script.

“…So, I can’t put myself into the situation like a mute.”

Zhang Yiyi was silent for a while, and then her tone on the phone was very serious: "Do you think it's possible? Chen Kexin would create a useless character in the script? If you feel that you can't understand the character, then there is only one possibility, that is, you haven't worked hard enough."

Chen Nuo was speechless: "How can I work hard? I only have half a script in my hand."

"Then complete the script." Zhang Yiyi answered confidently, "According to your understanding, complete the logic behind each shot, each line, and even each action and expression. Write the story according to your understanding and make the blank spaces clear. Then you will naturally know how to play this role."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Nuo picked up the script again.

This time, he read it with a fresh perspective. He no longer tried to put himself in Monty's shoes.

He no longer just read and memorized lines, he began to conceive the entire story and imagine the ins and outs of the story.

He is like a mystery novelist, who infers cause and effect from what he knows.

He began to take notes in the margins of the script, recording his own imagination, although he didn't know how much the storyline he had in mind would differ from the original script.

Just when Chen Nuo thought he had learned the truth from Zhang Yiyi, he didn't know that after Zhang Yiyi hung up the phone, he burst into laughter and couldn't straighten his back.

This poor kid, does he really think he is the king of comedy? There are so many things to do for a minor supporting role, and he has to analyze the details and find the meaning. Don't you know if he listens to the director when he is on the scene?
But... Zhang Yiyi had laughed enough and thought to himself, if this kid really did it, he would become the king of comedy in the future.

For the next two days, except for eating, Chen Nuo didn't even leave his room. He was possessed again.

Over the past two days, he filled the blank spaces of the entire script with densely written small characters. Zhang Yiyi would be very surprised if he saw it, because Chen Nuo really did what he said jokingly.

January 2005, 1, 5:8 am.

At the entrance of the film and television base.

Liu Wenjing, the deputy director of the If Love crew, is looking at his watch.

The crew is currently shooting the exterior scenes in Beijing, and Shanghai is currently doing the preliminary preparations. And now, he is waiting for an actor for an important role to join the crew on the first day.

Liu Wenjing didn't expect that after choosing for so long, he would finally choose such a person.

It is said that he had only made one movie when he was just 18 years old, and it was a small-budget one.

What they are shooting now are big-budget commercial films, which are completely different from those art films. Can this Chen Nuo hold up?

Or is this boy a relative of some kind? Or is he a young master from a family with a strong background?
Liu Wenjing could only think so.

Although he felt uncomfortable, work was still work. Liu Wenjing was a rigorous person and generally could not find fault with him. When he contacted him yesterday, he said he would come by himself at 9 o'clock in the morning. Liu Wenjing waited at the door half an hour in advance.

While looking at the cars on the road, I suddenly noticed a young man wearing a black down jacket and jeans, carrying a backpack, walking towards this side alone.

As they got closer, Liu Wenjing saw sweat on the other person's forehead, and it seemed that he had walked a long distance.

The young man also noticed him, walked to a nearby place, smiled, and asked, "Is that Director Liu?"

"Ah, I am Chen Nuo, right?"

"Yes, hello, Director Liu."

The two men shook hands, and Liu Wenjing took Chen Nuo to the base.

"Where did you come from?"

"I live in the town across the river. I thought it wasn't far, so I didn't take a car." "Are you alone?"

"Well, my agent had something to do, so I came here by myself."

"…….Good."

The film and television base is very large. It is the first time for Chen Nuo to come to such a place. On both sides are various old-style Western-style buildings from the 1920s and 1930s, time-honored brand signs with traditional Chinese characters, old-style street lamps, and tram tracks on the ground. Walking along the way, it seems as if he has really returned to the once glamorous and powerful Shanghai.

Noticing his gaze, Liu Wenjing introduced: "Your scenes are all shot here. I asked you to come here today so that you can follow the dance teacher to practice the movements and give you a basic concept. Xiao Chen, I'm a little older than you, so I'll call you Xiao Chen. Do you mind?"

"No problem. You say."

Liu Wenjing said: "Your scene will be very large, and there will be many actors to cooperate with you. I hope you can practice well during this period."

Although the other party's behavior just now made him change his mind a little, the doubts in his heart remained, and Liu Wenjing spoke directly and without being too polite.

Chen Nuo also felt that the assistant director did not seem to have a good impression of him, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I will."

The dance teacher's name was Cindy. Liu Wenjing introduced her as a dancer from a local song and dance troupe. She wore heavy makeup and her exact age could not be seen. She wore bright red lipstick, was about 170 cm tall, very thin, and wore all black. Standing there she looked like a silhouette cast by the street light.

After Liu Wenjing introduced the two to each other, he left Chen Nuo to the dance teacher and went about his own business.

"You don't look very old, do you?" Cindy's voice was a little hoarse, and she didn't know if it was because she was tired or because of smoke.

"It will be 19 soon."

"So you're only 18? Tsk tsk. The dance you want to dance has been choreographed. I'll take you to see the site, and then we'll go to our dance studio. If possible, we can start practicing this afternoon. Is that ok?"

"No."

Chen Nuo then followed Cindy around the set again, and then Cindy asked again, "Did your company arrange a car for you?"

"Uh, no."

Cindy said, "Then take my car. Are you alone?"

Chen Nuo smiled embarrassedly and said, "Yes, my agent had something to do, so I came here alone."

Cindy nodded and said nothing more.

Her car is a yellow Chery QQ, a micro car that was very popular in the early 2000s. You could buy one for tens of thousands of yuan, so it was very popular as soon as it was launched.

Although the space in the car is not large, it can be seen that the owner has a girlish heart. The interior is all pink, and there is a fresh fragrance when you sit in the car.

Soon after we got on the road, Cindy took the initiative to ask, "Are you still in college?"

Chen Nuo was sitting in the back seat and noticed that Cindy was watching him through the rearview mirror.

Chen Nuo suddenly discovered that Cindy's eyes looked very young, and did not seem as mature as her dress.

"Not yet. I'm taking the college entrance exam this year."

Cindy was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "I really envy you. You're so young, and you can be the lead actor."

Chen Nuo wanted to correct her, saying that his role was not really a leading role, but Cindy didn't say anything after that.
