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

Chapter 311 The Shoes Are Lost

Chen Nuo didn't know what kind of mood Zhang Guoli was in when he hung up the phone.
What kind of mood was he in afterwards when he went to welcome his son who was fired by the crew?

Will he use money and power to cause trouble for him in the future?
Not only was he unclear.

To be honest, he doesn't care.

It's not just because of the seemingly unrelated relationship between him and Zhang Guoli,
Similarly, this wave of capital is about to sweep in, why is he still thinking so much?

By then, countless cold money and hot money will wash away the current entertainment industry structure.

Amid the unprecedented changes in the entertainment industry in thirty years, some people have soared to success while others have fallen miserably.

In this life, he is the butterfly flapping its wings...it is unknown who will soar into the sky and who will sink to the ground.

In this situation, he doesn't even dare to ask for fairness. Is he still a human being?
What's more, when the tide came, he had already taken advantage of his own rebirth and took a small step forward.

On August 2009, 8, when the crew was moving to Guangdong, Chen Nuo asked director Jiang Wen for a day off.

So, on this day, he brought his team and secretly came to Sina's headquarters in Beijing and signed his name on a top-secret contract.

Apart from Sina's board of directors, Chen Nuo, Qi Yuntian, and the lawyers for both parties, no one knows the specific content of the final terms of this brand promotion contract.

As expected, Chen Nuo's initial proposal of 10% common stock did not pan out.

During the difficult negotiations during these days, even Qi Yuntian's father got involved as an advisor, and finally the contract was signed before the public beta of Weibo.

The terms of cooperation that Chen Nuo and Sina Corporation finally wrote down in black and white were:

Sina used 5% of its common stock and 5% of its preferred stock in exchange for Chen Nuo opening an exclusive domestic social account on Sina Weibo.

In this way, we will prosper together and suffer together with Sina.

In fact, a basic consensus on the number of shares had been reached in the first week, but what took more than half a month to negotiate was a special protection right written into the contract.

That is, in the future, when Sina Weibo, as a subsidiary of Sina, faces various situations that may lead to a substantial dilution of its equity, such as subsequent rounds of financing, the implementation of equity incentive plans, etc., Chen Nuofang has the right to make priority investments and subscribe for shares according to the established rules at that time, thereby ensuring that the proportion of common stock held by him in the company's total share capital can be maintained at 5%, avoiding damage due to equity dilution.

On the other hand, for the 5% preferred shares he holds, Sina also promised to strictly follow the terms of the established preferred stock agreement in terms of core preferred stock rights such as preferred stock dividend distribution and priority payment of liquidation assets.

To put it simply, as long as Chen Nuo has money, he will have the right of priority to subscribe for new shares or additional shares issued by Sina in the future, to ensure that his 5% of common shares that can vote at the shareholders' meeting will not be diluted.

When Chen Nuo and Cao Guowei both signed their names on the contract, all the Sina executives who were watching the ceremony were delighted and smiled.

It wasn't easy. After secret verification, they found out that the tens of millions of yuan in signing fees given by Tencent were indeed true and not just something Chen Nuo used to bluff people.

Later, Mr. Ding from Wangyi entered the market with great strength.

Finally, no one knows what this big star is thinking, why he doesn't want money, why he doesn't follow the wealthy Tencent, why he has a special liking for this crappy Sina and looks like he wants to become a nail-biter shareholder.

Are there any traps or tricks involved? Is it a good thing or a bad thing to have an extra chair on the Sina Weibo board of directors? Will there be any problems?
These are things that only the bigwigs on the board would consider.

At this moment, these senior cattle and horses were laughing and applauding.

Who Cares?

They only know one thing.

With the joining of this big star, perhaps in the future they will be able to work less overtime, get scolded less, and have less complaints from their wives and children at home than the hard-working people at Tencent, NetEase, and Sohu.

Although the news of the contract between Sina and Chen Nuo was still kept confidential, it inevitably reached the ears of some people who should know it on that day.

In Shenzhen, Hangzhou and Beijing, there were big men in luxurious and spacious offices who, after listening to the reports from their subordinates, smiled and spoke a few words.

The accent details are different, but the meaning is basically the same.

"If that's the case, then there's no need to force it. Just do your job well, and it's still unknown who will win. The power of just one person is nothing in the face of this level of commercial competition."

The big guys are experienced in the battlefield and naturally will not be discouraged by a little setback.

But the cattle and horses under his command could not help cursing.

Especially in Shenzhen, Tencent employees who had been waiting for half a day couldn't help but whisper some words.

"If it were me, I would give it to you."

"hehe."

“I don’t know what the higher-ups are thinking.”

"How could you not know? Mr. Ma can only take other people's shares. When will it be someone else's turn to take his shares? What's more... no matter what, Chen Nuo is just a star."

“Didn’t you see how many followers he has on FB?”

"That was overseas, the photos he posted overseas. In my opinion, if we were to copy his style in China, not many people would like it. The main reason is that people wouldn't understand it. People in the United States and Europe like to visit art exhibitions and do some art. Who in China likes it? Few people can appreciate his hazy postmodern style."

"From what you said, if it were you, you wouldn't be willing to give it either?"

"I…………"

Before he could finish his words, the two employees who were gossiping outside the bathroom suddenly changed their expressions, lowered their heads, shut up, and went their separate ways.

Because a person came out from the bathroom. It was none other than Zang Tao, the person who was responsible for contacting Chen Nuofang this time and the head of the newly established Tencent Weibo Business Group.

He stood by the washstand and listened for a long time, with no expression on his face. He returned to the office, called a few of his men in, and said, "Chen Nuo and Sina signed today. What do you think?"

Several of his subordinates were also people who had participated in the negotiations before. After receiving the news, they were obviously well prepared. Facing Zang Tao's questions calmly, they started talking one after another.

"I don't think it matters. He can't do it. There are so many celebrities in the entertainment industry. We can find someone else. Especially some celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan, the kind that ordinary people in the mainland can hardly get in touch with. In fact, they are not much worse than him."

"That's right, Mr. Zang. It's impossible for him to get shares no matter how powerful he is."

"In the beginning, I didn't think it was necessary to spend so much money to hire him."

"Yes, his current number of fans is nowhere near what it was before. Sina thinks they have found a treasure, so let them think so."

"Like it says, we just have to go our own way."

Zang Tao listened for a while, nodded and said, "Seeing you think so, I feel relieved. You are right. No matter how awesome Chen Nuo is, he is only one person. What's more, his current reputation is not as good as before. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is surrounded by negative news. This is actually the core reason why we decided to reject his request for shares."

"Mr. Ma said that now that they have signed with Sina, we should take a different approach."

"Next, go contact those celebrities, big and small, from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the mainland, and sign as many as you can."

"As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. If he doesn't want the 3000 million, we'll just give it to someone else. Then we'll see who will regret it!"

"Sina thought they won? In fact, I now think that Chen Nuo signing them is not a bad thing for us! What superstar plan? How many fans can he have? How much influence can he have?"

As he spoke, Zang Tao sneered, "Then we'll see who is more powerful. Haha. You don't know how to appreciate a favor."

Chen Nuo didn't know that Tencent, which regarded his request for shares as unreasonable and ultimately rejected him, had already prepared itself mentally to compete with him and had begun corresponding strategic deployment.

He is in a good mood now. After signing the documents and chatting with Sina's senior executives for a while, he went to the office area of ​​the Niuma team to cheer everyone up.

Liu Yifei only holds 2% of the shares in Huanxin Company, but Liu Xiaoli already has a strong sense of being the protagonist.

He owns 10% of Weibo's shares. As long as he is thick-skinned enough, it would not be too much to say that Sina Weibo is his own company.

It is his duty as a shareholder to express his condolences to his company's employees and give the oxen and horses more strength to pull the mill and push the carts.

At this moment, he was seen standing next to a desk in the office area, leaning against a partition, surrounded by countless people who had heard the news.

It was especially like the feeling of being surrounded by crowds at the China Film Academy last time, except that the plot of land this time was even bigger, and there were even more people coming to watch the fun.

Faced with various questions, Chen Nuo was considered to be knowledgeable. He answered them one after another, both true and false. He was neither hurried nor slow, and was well organized.

"...I don't have many hobbies. Besides watching movies, I like reading books...What books? I'm reading the Interpretation of Dreams recently. Oh, so many people have read it... No, no, no, let's not discuss the content. After all, so many people haven't read it yet. Let's not spoil it."

"No. As for Liu Yifei, I don't live with her normally. She just comes over occasionally, and I have dinner with her at home... Well, actually, I'm just like everyone else, with two eyes and one mouth, and dating is pretty much the same, right? We take a walk, chat, watch a movie, etc..."

"We have a common language... not just because of filming. As everyone knows, she traveled a lot for a while before, and traveled to most parts of the world. She also went to Africa as a volunteer for a long time to protect those wild animals. These are the things I admire very much, so, unknowingly, we got together."

As expected, gossip is the most intriguing thing in the past and present, both in China and abroad. When it comes to this aspect, questions come one after another.

Just as Chen Nuo finished making up his story, a middle-aged man with glasses who had been following Chen Nuo suddenly said, "Everyone just needs to listen to what Mr. Chen is saying now. Don't spread it outside. Remember the company's confidentiality policy."

As soon as he interrupted, the people working in the office suddenly became quiet, and the originally relaxed and lively atmosphere became a little tense.

Chen Nuo smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay, Manager Tian. Since I said you can ask any questions, then you can really ask any questions. I'm not afraid of my answers being spread, and there's nothing shameful about it."

When he said this, Sina employees all smiled happily.

"Nono, I love you!"

Suddenly someone shouted.

I don't know who was shouting from the outside, but it caused everyone to laugh. Because it wasn't a woman who was shouting, but a gruff man who was yelling at the top of his lungs.

Chen Nuo also laughed and said, "Thanks, brother."

I have to say that Chen Nuo's performance was really good.

Especially when he was walking quickly at the end, he pointed at the computer screen of a nearby workstation with interest and asked with interest: "Is he slacking off at work and looking at beautiful women?"

It also aroused the favor of many people.

It turns out that even the big star in the clouds knows how to slack off!

Someone immediately explained with a smile that they were not just idling around looking at beauties, but were translating entertainment news from Japan. The twins were members of a group in Japan called AKB48, and they were currently holding a general election.

The twins are a pair of sisters who are quite popular in AKB48.

They are also quite famous among the ACG community in China.

Because the two sisters usually like to wear Chinese-style clothes and cosplay some comic characters like Chun-Li and Akane Tendo, they attracted a lot of attention when they were introduced to China.

So they will also bring over any related news.

Currently, my sister is competing with Atsuko Maeda for the position of leader in the general election, and this news is about that.

Seeing that Chen Nuo was listening with great interest, the chubby male employee couldn't help boasting that he still had an autographed photo of the two sisters in his hand, which he had spent a lot of effort to get through someone in Japan.

What he said caused quite a lot of people to make a fuss.

It seems that Ayaka Ayaka is quite famous now. At least in the eyes of media professionals in the entertainment industry, she is considered a well-known Japanese girl idol.

Looking at the fat guy's proud look, Chen Nuo couldn't help but sigh.

Counting the time, he hasn't been to Tokyo for more than a year.

I don't usually pay attention to the news there.

Unexpectedly, before they knew it, the two sisters had their own careers and their own fans.

Looking at the photos of them wearing JK, I almost didn’t recognize them.

However, this time when filming "Inception", the first scene will be in Japan.

When we meet again after a long separation, there will probably be a lot of feelings to talk about.

…………

On August 8, Chen Nuo started filming his last scene with the crew of Let the Bullets Fly at the Mei Family Courtyard in Duanfen Town, Taishan, Guangdong.

After the filming was completed, he did not stay any longer.

After saying goodbye to Jiang Wen, Sister Jialing, Ge You and others, he left the crew and happened to pass by Tong Liya.

Tong Liya really didn't expect that Chen Nuo's drama could be filmed so quickly.

After all, the entire crew didn't move until the 28th. She thought, it would be impossible for him to finish filming in just one or two days, right?
She came three days earlier because she wanted to talk face to face.

What to talk about?
After having lost her appetite for more than half a month, she felt that she still wanted to ask for the reason in person.

If the man's behavior that day was really because he looked down on her, she would have given up on it.

But if not...

She really didn't want him to be so cold to her because of some misunderstanding.

For example, would he think that this was not her first time, and therefore he would dislike her?

But, she is really a late bloomer.

She had never been in a relationship before, and the reason why she didn't bleed like other girls was because she had been riding horses since she was a child.

He was truly her first man, and truly, truly, the first man she fell in love with.

Alas, there is no doubt that Tong Liya is now trapped in the most pitiful and sad state of mind in the world.

After being treated unfairly, instead of leaving immediately, they try every possible way to excuse the other party, find excuses for the other party, and give the other party a way out.

More than ten years later, people will contemptuously call this mentality a bootlicker.

However, every bootlicker is a pitiful person, so there is no need to blame them too much.

Especially when Tong Liya walked in front of Jiang Wen,

Jiang Wen turned back from the monitor, was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Xiao Tong, you came so early? Hey, why didn't you say hello earlier? Your master just finished filming and just left."

Do you know how it feels to walk outside without shoes in snowy winter?
That's what Tong Liya felt at that moment.

No matter how hard-hearted a person is, there is no way that he would stop a beautiful young girl and call her an idiot when he sees her walking barefoot on the road in the snow, her feet turning purple from the cold and her whole body shivering.
Because any idiot would remember to wear shoes in -30 degrees Celsius. There is only one reason why a person would do so:
Her shoes are missing.

However, Jiang Wen didn't seem to know what shoes were, and he didn't seem to realize that Tong Liya's face turned pale because she felt extremely cold in her heart.

He still smiled cheerfully and said, "Come on, come on, let's go and watch your master's acting skills together. We are enjoying it together here."

After hearing what he said, Tong Liya noticed that there were two other people sitting on the chairs next to her. One was Chen Kun, a famous actor who also graduated from Beijing Film Academy, and the other was Jiang Wu.

In the past, she would have smiled, greeted him respectfully, and maybe even been a little excited.

Chen Kun is also a young idol that these students often talk about.

But now Tong Liya may not even be able to cry, let alone laugh.

"Okay." She squeezed out a word from between her teeth.

"Then come and sit down."

"Need not."

At this time, Chen Kun turned his head and glanced at her, as if he heard something was wrong with her.

However, Jiang Wen still seemed to have noticed nothing.

Maybe it’s just like an unknown internet troll said, “Jiang Wen knows nothing about women.”

Seeing that Tong Liya didn't want to sit down, he didn't force her, turned back and said, "Come on, play it again and see."

So, Tong Liya finally saw on that small monitor the person she had traveled thousands of miles to meet but had no chance to meet.

"Sixth Master, you ate two bowls of noodles but only paid for one bowl." Chen Kun said expressionlessly.

"Bullshit!" He was so excited that through the light from behind, one could even see his saliva splattering in the air. "I only ate one bowl of noodles and gave him the money for one bowl!"

Jiang Wen paused.

He said with emotion: "I wanted to call a stop right here. I felt that the emotions were too high and I couldn't handle it later. In the end, after shooting this shot, I asked."

"Nuozi said that he felt the emotions of this scene could not be developed in a gradual, from low to high way."

“When you look up, you will see a mountain. And then there will be another mountain higher than the other one.”

"Until the end, the mountains are higher than the sky!"

"What does that mean?"

"You have to push the grief and anger to a high point from the beginning. Don't lay the groundwork slowly. The audience should be pulled into the play right away. The crazy tone should be established at the beginning, and it should soar all the way until it becomes an out-of-control madness. Only then will the audience believe it. Only then can they feel angry, wronged, and hurt together."

"Otherwise, how could a normal person cut open his own stomach and dig out some jelly?"

"It's not logical, and it doesn't convince the audience."

"Only a mad person would do such a crazy thing."

"I thought it was right, so I just passed it."

Having said that, let’s continue watching the show.

Tong Liya then saw that under the concerted efforts of Chen Kun and Jiang Wu,
From the beginning, the character is portrayed as being pushed to the edge of an emotional cliff, and then he keeps running wild until he goes completely insane in the end.

“…Since it’s unfair that the county magistrate’s son is taking the lead, then the county magistrate’s words are bullshit!”

……

"I'll fuck you!"

……

"One is one, two is two. I only ate one bowl of noodles today!"

……

"Tell me, are you an honest person? Then tell the truth! How many bowls of noodles did I eat? "

……

"You are an evil person. More evil, right? I am even more evil than you!"

……

"Since you don't believe me, I'll give you an explanation today. I'll cut open your stomach and take out the jelly. Is there only one bowl?!"

……

Tong Liya saw him holding a knife and stabbed it into his stomach.

Blood splattered everywhere, but he was still cutting hard.

His eyes were bloodshot and his facial features were twisted and squeezed together in pain.

His hand seemed to have reached into his belly, digging out the bowl of jelly.

Finally, he found it and picked up a bowl of powder stained with blood.

He said: "Did you see it? Did you see it? Isn't it just one bowl of noodles?! Isn't it... just one bowl of noodles!"

He cried and shouted.

……

……

One minute later, the playback ended.

In fact, the men had watched it several times. They had said everything they needed to say before this, so they quieted down.

Chen Kun's face seemed to be smiling but not smiling, his eyes flickered, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Jiang Wu didn't feel anything.

He is just a third-rate actor, so it's overshadowed. He has no fans and no one thinks he shouldn't do that.

At this time, he looked back and said to Jiang Wen: "Brother, this play is good, but I think your previous idea is quite right. This person acted like this, and died so miserably in the end..."

"Look at that little girl. She couldn't bear it anymore and ran away. I think she even cried."

"What if the audience reacts the same way as her? What if everyone runs away?"

"Aren't you worried?"

Jiang Wen stared silently at the monitor, at the young man lying in his arms with his face covered in blood.

He has seen many deaths in the play, and he has also seen deaths outside the play.

But he had never seen many actors who, after dying in a play, would, without the director's request, act out the kind of look that one would have in real life, with eyes half-open and half-closed, as if one were to die with one's eyes wide open.

This is... This is not about talent or not. Damn, Beijing Film Academy is fucking terrible.

There was no sound for a moment.

After a while, Jiang Wen said, "She didn't run away because of the play."

"Then why did she run away?"

"I guess...something is lost."

Liu Xiaoqing, who is 11 years older than him, the rebellious and playful Ning Jing, the exotic beauty Sandrine, and Zhou Yun, who is 18 years younger than him.

There are only four beauties of both size from China and abroad that can be counted.

How many other things did they talk about in school, play with at work, or entertain themselves when they were bored? Jiang Wen probably couldn't remember them all.

Who said he doesn't understand women?
That's a chicken chop joke.

If he didn't understand, why would he let Tong Liya try out for the female lead and snatch the role of his own wife?
When I was watching the replay just now, I would not say so much nonsense just to teach Tong Liya.

Isn't this all for someone's sake?

Jiang Wen shook his head in his heart.

And Xiao Tong is like this, it seems that it is not as simple as he thought before. There is no hope. In the future, I guess there will be a lot of suffering...

Then he frowned. Damn, women are simple. This play...what can I do?
He was so damn worried.
