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

Chapter 305 Doing one good deed a day

Zhang Mo never thought in his life that one day someone would steal his role.

But this time, the role that his father had personally negotiated for him was suddenly replaced by someone else, and he could only go from being the important supporting role No. 6 to the extra No. 5.

After a big fight with Zhang Guoli at home, in which everything in the living room was smashed to pieces,
Zhang Mo still swallowed his anger.

He is not stupid, he knows that opportunities are rare. Just like his father said, if he doesn't act, there are many people who want to act.

So he came anyway and joined the group.

However, I kept holding the anger in my heart and never vented it.

If he hadn't brought some leaves with him so he could smoke a few puffs every night to relieve his boredom, could he have endured it until now?

Although I know in my heart that it is impossible to really change roles,

But at this time, seeing that Jiang Wen had not shouted yet, he took the opportunity to say a few words and vent his anger. What's wrong with that?
Besides, this is not the right time.

When he first won the Cannes Prize, he was indeed not to be trifled with. Even his stepmother and biological father combined had to swallow their anger and stay away from him.

But now?

He has been scolded so badly on the Internet recently, and it seems that almost all his fans are running away. What is he afraid of!

So just after he finished the previous sentence, Zhang Mo asked, "Uncle Jiang, what do you think?"

Jiang Wen stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed and said, "I think it's okay. It's a good thing for young people to have confidence. Well, it's almost time to call it a day. Mo, go back and have a good rest. You don't look like you've had enough rest."

After that, he picked up the intercom and said, "Passed! That's all for today, call it a day."

Call it a day? Call it a day for what?

Chen Nuo was full of energy and wished he could shoot three or five more scenes.

Unfortunately, humans are like oxen and horses, so of course they can go without sleep, rest, or food.

But machines are not like that, they cannot work for too long and at night, they need to rest.

So, even though he hadn't touched a woman for more than a month, Chen Nuo, who was full of energy and whose acting skills had improved by leaps and bounds,
I had no choice but to obey and follow the group, remove my makeup, change clothes, get on the bus, and go back to the guesthouse in the nearby town to rest.

But even rest is not good enough.

He had a simple meal in a small restaurant with all the bad men in the crew, and those men kept yelling at him to drink.

He drinks shit.

With his limited alcohol tolerance, how can he compete with these northern men?

I politely declined, ate my meal, and went back to my room, intending to go straight to sleep.

As a result, calls came one after another.

First is Wen Yongshan.

Regarding this incident between him and Liu Yifei, the only person that Chen Nuo was slightly worried about was Janice Man.

He had originally thought that if the girl was unhappy and didn't believe him, he would go to Hong Kong to explain it in person.

As a result, when he told Janice Man on the phone, the girl not only did not show any abnormality, but also comforted him, telling him not to take it to heart and not to care about those netizens on the Internet, and it would be best not to even look at them.

Even though she didn't say it explicitly, the implication of her words was that she thought Feifei was pretty good, probably ten thousand times better than that vixen Fan Binbing, and that she was sincere and kind, and was someone who could be treated well.

What does this mean?
After hearing this, Chen Nuo knew that the girl had misunderstood. He also knew that such thoughts were not only because feudal customs still remained in Hong Kong, but also because she was definitely influenced by Xia Yehe.

He was too lazy to say anything about it. There was nothing wrong between him and Liu Yifei. The innocent would be innocent. Why would he keep explaining? It would only make him look guilty.

If Janice Man doesn't believe it, there's no need to convince him, just meet him and he'll serve you.

"Darling, have you read the script I sent you? Do you think I can act in it?"

On the phone that day, Janice Man was talking about something else. It was a script written by Pang Ho-cheung in his company.

"I've watched a little bit, do you want to act?"

"Do you think I can?"

"Of course, of course. It's a story about Hong Kong people. I think you are quite suitable for it. It's not difficult. It can be regarded as your true self."

Wen Yongshan's voice suddenly became excited, "Really?"

But he immediately became depressed again, a little nervous, "I'm just worried that I won't be able to perform well."

"How do you know if you haven't tried? Be braver. Look at Liu Yifei. Can she act? She can't do anything, but she dared to go directly to Zhang Yimou, and then she actually got the female lead. Are you worse than her? She's not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"

"Haha, if you talk about Feifei like that, be careful or I'll tell her about you."

This was the aftermath of not making it clear the first time, so no matter how much Chen Nuo said later, Janice Man felt that there was something wrong between him and Liu Yifei.

Chen Nuo said angrily: "You'd better record my words and play them to her word for word. I'm afraid she'll know? Are you kidding me?"

After the two chatted and laughed for a while, Wen Yongshan said, "Then I'll tell Director Peng that I've accepted the role?"

"Well, go ahead. Anyway, he has signed with the company, but he hasn't filmed a single movie yet. This kind of low-budget movie, well, it's not bad to give it a try. However, I really don't have time this year..."

"Ah? Darling, are you going to shoot with me?" Janice Man interrupted in surprise.

This sounds quite strange.

After asking, Chen Nuo found out that Pang Ho-cheung wanted to find him, but Janice Man had never thought about filming with him.

The reason sounded ridiculous to Chen Nuo.

"It's better not to do that. Darling, if we two were to film together, the gap between us would be too big. Others would laugh at you."

Chen Nuo found it quite funny.

Are you still talking about this while filming?

If he had played the Joker, Christian Bale should have stopped acting.

But that's all next year's matter, and he was too lazy to talk more to the woman on the phone now.

I asked about her father's condition again, and after learning that he was recovering well, I hung up the phone.

After Janice Man comes Fan Binbing.

This woman was just bored. She went to Harbin to attend an event today, and after arriving at the hotel, she had nothing to do so she flirted with him.

After chatting for a while, both of them were a little overwhelmed by each other's teasing.

Fan Binbing said that she would take two days off after the event and came to Huairou to visit him.

But after thinking it over, Chen Nuo reluctantly refused.

The main thing was that he was not staying in a five-star hotel, but a third-rate guesthouse in a town in Huairou.

She is not someone else.

She is Fan Binbing.

If she really came, I'm afraid that the town residents and the crew combined would have more than 10,000 pairs of eyes staring at her. The most important thing is that this guesthouse is not soundproof, which is really inconvenient.

I was having a lively conversation with Fan Binbing when Zhang Yimou called and interrupted her mumbling on the phone.

Director Zhang came to tell him a good news.

All the investors of "Under the Hawthorn Tree" agreed, and the film was heading towards winning awards.

Speaking of which, it is thanks to the gossip that the male and female protagonists fell in love during the filming. Now everyone completely feels that this movie has no shortage of box office revenue and no longer needs to cater to the domestic market.

Well, human hearts are greedy. If that’s the case, can we still give it a try and push forward?
The pressure that Director Zhang was originally under disappeared instantly.

But the problem is that Director Zhang is still re-editing the film in order to take his time and produce a fine finish, but the film review window in Venice has been closed this year.

If you really want to go to the Venice Film Festival, you have to wait until September next year.

This time is too long, and investors can't wait anyway, so.
They have now decided to attend the 60th Berlin Film Festival in February next year.

This is a little different from what Chen Nuo discussed before.

In addition, Director Zhang is a little worried. There is still more than half a year before the Berlin Film Festival and more than half a year before the film is released. Will there be any problems with the male and female protagonists?

Everyone welcomes gossip. No matter what people say online, what you throw away are sesame seeds, and what you pick up are watermelons, both of which are hot topics and guarantee box office success.

But what if the two people who fell in love during the filming broke up before the movie was released?
That's not so good.

These are the two reasons why Director Zhang made this call.

The first was to tell him that the plan for the European Grand Slam had fallen through and he could not go to Venice. The current plan was to go to Berlin.

The second reason was that she wanted to get a verbal guarantee from him, asking Lao San and Jing Qiu to maintain their relationship for almost half a year.

"That's what happened. Do you understand? Hello, hello, hello, Liu Yifei! Where are you?"

"Why are you yelling? I'm here." "Then why don't you speak? I thought you were deaf."

"You are the one who is deaf. I was just thinking, it turns out it is really for publicity."

"What do you think?" Chen Nuo said this seriously, but he felt like laughing.

I just made up an excuse at the time, and it turned out to kill two birds with one stone.

But Actor Chen is vain. If he weren't vain, he wouldn't have gone to Korea to make a movie or to Cannes to take revenge. He certainly wouldn't admit that he had hit the jackpot by accident.

Besides, Liu Yifei was sunbathing on Palm Beach and even made a transatlantic phone call to show off. How could he feel comfortable if he didn't pretend?
"Okay." Liu Yifei seemed to be really impressed by his pretense, and said in a muffled voice, "Director Zhang means that we should go to Berlin to participate in the exhibition."

"Wait, Berlin? Berlin!?" There was a sudden pause, and then the woman's voice suddenly became high-pitched.

It seemed that only when she said this did she finally realize that there was something quite horrifying in what Chen Nuo had said.

"Wow, Chen Nuo, if you go to Berlin and win an award again, then, then, then, then, wouldn't you have won the Berlin Film Award twice?!"

One plus one does equal two. You are really good at math.

Hearing Liu Yifei's excited stuttering voice, Chen Nuo couldn't help but laugh: "Is it that serious? Let me remind you, if you really make the list, it won't just be me, it will be you too! Aunt Liu is really counting on you to win the Best Actress award this time, she's thinking too much about it."

Liu Yifei seemed not to have heard the second half of the words and was still immersed in some fantasy.

"That's amazing. Really, if it's really possible, Chen Nuo, when Sean Penn won the Grand Slam, he won the Venice Film Festival twice. If your Grand Slam can include winning the Berlin Film Festival Best Actor Award twice, then I think you're even better than him!"

Huh? Really?
Chen Nuo had never thought about it from this angle.

It turns out that in addition to Liu Yifei, Jeon Do-yeon also thought so.

The voice on the phone coming from the peninsula thousands of miles away was still gentle and graceful, but it also contained a hint of imperceptible throbbing.

"Although I am a huge fan of Sean Penn, if Chen Nuoxi can really win the Berlin Film Festival for the second time, you will indeed be on the verge of surpassing him."

"Among the three major European film festivals, at least in Korea, Berlin ranks before Venice. Suppose, after winning Berlin for the second time, you finally go to Venice to complete your coronation ceremony."

"Chen Nuoxi, by then, I believe the whole of Asia will be proud of you."

Jeon Do-yeon still speaks so nicely, so Chen Nuo had no choice but to return the favor.

"Movies are just movies. Don't pay attention to those rumors. To be honest, some of you Korean men are more disgusting than maggots in the gutter. Do you care about the opinion of a maggot?"

"Ms. Jeon Do-yeon, you have your goals, right? We are all the same. We should get back what we lost. I did it, and I believe you can do it too."

"Go, go to Cannes and get back what you lost."

“But I also have some personal opinions.”

The call with Jeon Do-yeon was actually the longest one, lasting a full hour. After hanging up the phone, Chen Nuo's throat was a little sore.

Two days later, Chen Nuo saw in the entertainment news that Blue Dragon Film Award winner Jeon Do-yeon decided to work with Korean director Lim Sang-su to star in "The Housemaid".

Although he didn't know it, in her previous life, Jeon Do-yeon actually put everything aside and starred in "The Housemaid" in an effort to win the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival, but ultimately failed.

But he believed that after listening to Jeon Do-yeon's long conversation on the phone that day, the suggestion he made at the end was

It will definitely make sure that when people talk about this movie more than ten years later, they will no longer focus on Jeon Do-yeon's large-scale performance in the movie.

The more clothes you take off, the easier it is to win a prize?
Where does this weird talk come from?

Chen Nuo feels that Asian directors who do this cannot get rid of the layer of worshipping foreign things. They often end up drawing a tiger but end up drawing a dog, and they cannot please others even if they try to lick their asses.

For example, a famous domestic art film director always makes films that expose and show off. He specializes in shooting the dark side and has a quirk that he won't shoot a film unless he shows his breasts.

However, due to rumors, he was regarded as a master more than ten years later.

Master of shit.

Has this person ever won any serious awards?
It’s just the Golden Horse Award that even Xiao Chen doesn’t think much of now.

If one could win an award by selling one's country and body, then the winner of the Cannes Best Actor award this time should not be Chen Nuo, but Qin Hao or Chen Sicheng who performed completely nude in his disgusting movie.

Therefore, when Chen Nuo persuaded Jeon Do-yeon to put on clothes to act in "The Housemaid", he was really thinking about her and it was definitely not a man's possessiveness.

He was really just doing one good deed a day for Jeon Do-yeon.

But unfortunately, the crew of "Let the Bullets Fly" is made up of men, and Brother Nuo has no way to do good deeds.

So, in the next few days, everyone in the crew, except for a few on-site producers, laughed so hard that their mouths were crooked.

Everyone from the director Jiang Wen to the extras were almost driven crazy by this guy.

"Brother Zhang, you've been with a lot of crews, have you ever seen a big shot like this?"

"I've seen shit!"

"I haven't seen him either. Is Brother Nuo busy with something? Brother Zhang, can you please tell the director to let Brother Nuo go first and come back to shoot after he's done? Otherwise, the brothers really can't hold on any longer!"

Similar conversations took place at almost every level of the crew.

The reason is that someone is too impetuous.

The phone calls from those women that night not only did not give Chen Nuo any comfort, but made him even more agitated. He couldn't sleep all night and wished he could finish filming the next day.

The result is that in addition to his own acting, which was as if he had divine intervention and could pull off a scene in no time, he also did a lot of other things.

Because he is not the leading actor, his roles every day are spread out at various scattered time points.

So what does this person do when he has free time during the sporadic filming periods?

He tried to find a way to keep others from being left empty.

It is no exaggeration to say that this man was like a whip, lashing almost every staff member and actor in the crew.

When has Jiang Wen's team ever encountered such people and such things?

We are all self-respecting professionals. What can we do when we encounter such inexplicable people meddling in our affairs?
Just listen carefully and say thank you when you are done.

Not only does he have two international actor trophies, he is also the most powerful person in the whole place and no one can mess with him.

Not only everyone from Happy Blue Ocean to Hong Kong Eagle King and then to Mr. Ma Ke, they all stand on this person's side.

Also, because what they say and do makes people submit.

If an actor does something wrong, he will watch for a while and then come over to give some pointers, which can make Shao Bing, Du Yiheng, Wei Xiao and others suddenly realize the truth. He is better than the director.

Similarly, it is because he is the biggest star in the whole venue and sets an example every day, never being late for a minute or leaving early for a second.

And wherever there are difficulties in the crew, he is there.

He helped the lighting engineer carry the lights, helped the sound engineer carry the equipment, and helped the props move the sundries.
Whenever someone is busy, he almost always helps out.

There was even one time when he helped to serve a cup of tea to the fake Andy Lau Du Yiheng.

At that time, Du Yiheng knelt down to accept it.

There is no way not to kneel. Let alone him, a fourth-tier Andy Lau, even the real Andy Lau would not be able to withstand it.

So in the end, who in the crew didn't obey him?
Director Jiang Wen’s words are sometimes not as effective as Brother Nuo’s.

Also, when it came time to shoot those horse riding scenes in the mountains.

Including Jiang Wen, everyone else used a stand-in, but this guy was stubborn enough to do it himself.

Afterwards, the crew saw him riding a horse very fast, and he looked even more awesome than the stuntmen.
In the end, those few who were unwilling to accept had no choice but to kneel down.

Even Jiang Wen couldn't help it.

When we were filming the scene where the mountain bandits robbed the train,
He watched Chen Nuo rolling up and down on the horse's back. No matter how the horse shook, his whole body seemed to be glued to the horse's back. He was more Mongolian than a Mongolian.

After that, Jiang Wen was really curious and asked directly: "Brother Nuo, where did you learn this?"

Someone was listening nearby.

Before, I might have been surprised by Jiang Wen's address.

But now, just shout.

They can afford it.

Chen Nuo rubbed his sore butt and explained, "When I was filming The Return of the Condor Heroes, I fell off my horse on the first day of the first scene. I almost died. Then..."

After that, he rode horses whenever he had nothing to do during filming, and developed his current horsemanship skills, which allow him to coordinate seamlessly with the camera in the mountains and woods.

After listening to this, Jiang Wen didn't know what to say. He could only give a thumbs up and said, "Fuck, you are really my brother."

Ps:

It’s too late to update two chapters in a row, so I’ll post them first.

I’m back to being the gatekeeper at over 400 on the monthly ticket list. I’m crying.
