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

Chapter 329 My Mom?

In the dead of night, an actress went into her room without even saying hello.

If it were someone else, Chen Nuo would definitely think there was something fishy going on.

But if it was Liu Yifei...

He just thought that this woman had gone crazy again.

After all, the two of them knew each other so well that Chen Nuo sometimes didn't even consider her a woman.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have slapped that person on the butt by the swimming pool.

God is my witness, he definitely didn’t think that much.

I just simply thought that it looked plump, round and perky, and felt very good to the touch, so I couldn't help myself.

Just like one of your good friends suddenly shaved his head one day, and you just wanted to touch it out of curiosity. There is no sexual intention.

Chen Nuo also wondered why he felt so strange about Liu Yifei. It was totally inconsistent with his character that he couldn't control his lower body when he saw a beautiful woman.

The conclusion drawn in the end was that he and Liu Yifei had known each other too early, and at that time, Liu Yifei was just a little girl. For a man of his mental age of about 40, only a copper-refining complex could give rise to any ambiguous feelings.

Even though Liu Yifei has changed a lot in the past few years, her growth rate has made him look at her with admiration several times.

But the previous impression is still deeply rooted.

But even when he tried his best to immerse himself in the role and cultivate emotions for the filming of Under the Hawthorn Tree, the final result was nothing more than a feeling between brothers.

As for sexual desire, there is not even a hint of that.

So, when Liu Yifei sneaked into his room and asked him to speak in a low voice, he didn't think much about it.

He sighed, closed the door, turned around and was about to ask his good brother what he was going to do at 5 a.m.

Suddenly I was startled.

He saw Liu Yifei standing by the bed, her head slightly lowered, her eyes fixed on the ground, her toes restlessly rubbing against the floor. Her hands were clenched into fists at her sides, her chest rose and fell, and it was obvious that she was trying to take a deep breath.

Chen Nuo couldn't help but be a little dazed, because this scene was strangely familiar.

He asked, "Sister Fei, what are you doing?"

Why do I call her Sister Fei? Just like everyone calls her Brother Li. It’s not a respectful title, it’s just a joke.

It was just because Chen Nuo had completed such a big event as singing at the Spring Festival Gala, and he was in a relaxed mood, so he started to talk nonsense.

Liu Yifei acted as if she didn't hear anything.

After a few seconds, she seemed to have made up her mind. She raised her head abruptly, looked straight over, and took a small step forward.

Chen Nuo took a step back unconsciously.

Liu Yifei pursed her lips tightly, then swallowed her saliva and said in a slightly awkward voice: "Chen Nuo, let me ask you a question, do you like me?"

at last.

Finally asked.

When Liu Yifei asked this question, she felt relieved.

Before she asked, she was so nervous that she almost fainted.

After asking, she felt a sense of relief.

This was the question she had wanted to ask that morning in Palm Beach.

那一天是2009年9月30号，而今天是2010年2月14日。

137 days have passed in between.

During this period, she was sad and disappointed, and felt that the man did not care about her at all.

She thought about forgetting him, ignoring him, burying this unspoken feeling in her heart and never mentioning it again.

Because of this, she was entangled, depressed and even drunk.

Sister Binbing's words of advice still echoed in her ears. "He is too young and his character is unstable. If you rush into this relationship, you will be the one who gets hurt in the end. Many heartbeats in the world end up with nothing. Let go before you get too stuck in the mud. This is the way to protect yourself. You are young, don't waste your good time on this unknown person. Look forward, there are many more suitable people waiting for you."

These principles sound good for her.

But every time I want to let go, my heart feels like it's being torn apart.

Countless late nights, she looked through every bit of her memories with him. The sweetness of the past and the loneliness of the moment were intertwined, making her toss and turn.

She struggled in her memories again and again, trying to break free from the shackles of "love", but every time she took a step forward, she was pulled back by the attachment in her heart.

Including this long night.

After New Year’s Eve, it is New Year’s Day, which is also Valentine’s Day, a day when countless people express their true feelings to each other.

She was in a hotel in Berlin,
In a dark corner, I sit alone, silently piecing together myself, which has become fragmented in my memories because of his singing on TV.

Finally, after a long period of thinking, she wiped away her tears, made up her mind, and stood here at this moment and asked this question.

……

If Chen Nuo had not experienced this kind of situation countless times in his previous life, he would never have been able to react in the 0.01 second that Liu Yifei said this and figure out how he should respond in this situation.

Similarly, if he had not had the experience of playing ghosts and gods countless times in front of the camera in this life, he would never have been able to show such a relaxed and surprised expression on his face while being extremely surprised, as if he had heard an ordinary question.

The natural answer was, "I like it. What's wrong?"

"..."

"Oh, I see. You're not sleeping today, Valentine's Day, just thinking about this? I was wondering why it's so weird. Tell me, what do you mean?"

Seeing Chen Nuo's nonchalant expression, Liu Yifei didn't know if she was making a fuss or if the other party didn't know what she was talking about at all.

Shouldn't this be something that is very stressful, shy and difficult to talk about?

Why does it sound like the other person is talking about what to eat today?

He clearly answered, but it seemed that it was not the answer I wanted to hear.

In this atmosphere, Liu Yifei lost her composure, and the courage she had finally mustered faded a little. She hesitated, not knowing whether she should continue.

Chen Nuo walked over, sat on a chair, and said nonchalantly: "Okay, if you haven't made up your mind, let's talk about it later. I do have something to ask..."

He has no shit to do with it.

All he was doing now was to put the matter off until he could figure out how to deal with it.

Fortunately, this was in Berlin and they were there for the film festival, so they had a lot to talk about.

At first, he was a little confused, but before he could even pause, Chen Nuo remembered what he should say. He looked a little worried and said, "You know what? The situation in Berlin is not very favorable for us right now."

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment.

She was still thinking about love, but Chen Nuo started talking about interests. And this was exactly what she was concerned about.

"what happened?"

"Leonardo Dicaprio called me yesterday and told me about this... Oh, by the way, he has a movie that will be premiering at the Berlin Film Festival. He wants me to go and show his support, and he also invited your mom. Remember to tell your mom. It's 8pm the day after tomorrow."

Liu Yifei was a little slow to react: "My mom?"

Chen Nuo nodded and said, "Yes. Your mom. Last year in Cannes, your mom and I went to meet Leonardo and Martin together and talked about this movie. So he knew your mom was also in Berlin, so he asked me to invite her."

"...My mom!?" Liu Yifei's eyes widened and her voice became at least three decibels louder.

"Yes. Why, didn't Aunt Liu tell you about it later?"

"No." Liu Yifei felt a little aggrieved. She hadn't even gone to meet his friends, but her mother went.

Chen Nuo felt relieved when he saw that her attention had finally been diverted.

Even though he is a veteran, I treat you as a brother. It is still a bit stressful for me if something like you coveting my body happens to me.

He said, "Anyway, remember to tell your mom that if you have nothing to do, you can come along and walk the red carpet. They will also be at our premiere today, so it's just a courtesy..."

"Oh, I see." Liu Yifei pouted, still feeling a little aggrieved.

Chen Nuo continued: "He then talked to me about the Berlin Film Festival. He told me that Renée Zellweger is a very picky person. There is almost no possibility of communication. He had asked Reese Witherspoon to help us to sound out Winnie, but I guess we shouldn't hold out too much hope."

"Oh."

"As for Yu Nan, although we are both alumni of Beijing Film Academy... this is her first time to be a judge at such a major film festival, and people will be very cautious, so we are too embarrassed to say anything. So Director Zhang and I both want to let things take their own course."

"As for the other judges, Director Zhang said that he had met the jury chairman Werner Herzog once before in Berlin, but they were not close friends. As for the other Italian female directors, Spanish female producers, German actresses and a Somali novelist, no one had met them before."

"In other words, we probably don't have any advantage over the judges this time. Maybe, just maybe, Yu Nan might be a little biased towards us."

Speaking of this, Chen Nuo also felt a little regretful.

In Ning Hao's previous life, in "No Man's Land", Yu Nan was cast to play the role of a prostitute. If Yu Nan is cast again in this No Man's Land, then it goes without saying that this will be a 100% sure success.

However, he only knew that Yu Nan played in No Man's Land, and didn't know that she came to Berlin to serve as a judge in 2010.

In his impression, the role of Yu Nan in "No Man's Land" did not receive much response when he first performed it.

In his opinion, the reason was definitely not that Yu Nan’s acting was bad, but that the actor and the role were not a good match.

So, this time when Ning Hao was looking for a female role, he suggested that they just do it internally.

Yes, he asked Fan Binbing to replace Yu Nan to play the prostitute who was imprisoned in a no-man's land and forced into prostitution.

As someone who has seen, touched and even ridden the girl a long time ago, Chen Nuo can guarantee that Fan Binbing's foxy face, coupled with her pair of long legs in suspenders and black stockings, will definitely be more than 130 times more interesting to male audiences than Yu Nan in this role.

As long as Ning Hao learns one-tenth of Wang Jiawei's skills in photographing women, the scene in the carriage might become another popular material on short video platforms in the future.

After almost a year of preparation, "No Man's Land" will start shooting in Gansu in March this year after the Chinese New Year.

Except for Fan Binbing replacing Yu Nan and Tony Leung who was paid 2000 million to replace Xu Zheng to play a Hong Kong lawyer, other actors such as Huang Bo and Duobujie remained unchanged and basically remained the same.

Ning Hao also told him that after he finished filming Twilight 3 and returned to China, he would visit the set and play a cameo role as a policeman in the movie.

Things have come to this point, and it seems there is no time to regret.

Liu Yifei suddenly said, "Isn't Director Wang Quanan also participating in the competition this time? He has been with Yu Nan for a long time, so it is impossible for her to vote for us."

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "You don't know? Director Zhang said that the two of them broke up last year, and there was also a piece of gossip..."

Speaking of which, Chen Nuo really wanted to laugh.

He knew nothing about the domestic art film directors, because all he knew were the gossip he read on Weibo in his previous life, or the movies he had seen. Apart from that, he was completely ignorant.

He had only heard of the name Wang Quanan when he was studying at Beijing Film Academy.

Thinking about how Zhang Yimou had been so mysterious with him before, he found it very interesting and wanted to share it with his good brother.

Liu Yifei asked curiously, "What is this?" Chen Nuo lowered his voice and said, "Wang Quanan is a bit abnormal."

Liu Yifei opened her mouth wide, "Ah? Is this true? What's going on?"

"Hey, let me make it clear first, this is what Director Zhang said. I can't guarantee its authenticity."

All I can say is that regardless of gender, age, height, beauty or ugliness, everyone in the world has the same gossipy mind when it comes to such things.

Liu Yifei unconsciously took two more steps towards Chen Nuo, and was now very close to him.

"It is said that the guy is a what......"

Chen Nuo spoke vividly for more than a minute. During this time, Liu Yifei's eyes widened and the expression on his face changed from white to red and then white again.

After hearing the end, she was stunned for a long time, and said in disbelief: "There are such people in the world? What was Yu Nan thinking? How could she do it? And she was with him for so many years?"

Chen Nuo shrugged and said, "Who knows, maybe this is love."

Chen Nuo regretted what he said as soon as he said it. As expected, Liu Yifei's expression looked a little strange again, so he quickly changed the subject.

"So Wang Quanan is not bad. He must have one vote less. The key lies in the others."

Liu Yifei wrinkled her nose. "I know who you're talking about. Your old enemy, Roman Polanski."

"Yes, he is one."

"I hate him. He always caused trouble for you before." Liu Yifei said indignantly, "I hope he gets nothing this time."

"Haha, forget it, be more generous. He actually has little to do with us. He is Director Zhang's opponent. You have three main opponents now, Juliette Binoche from France, Anjelica Huston from the United States like you, and Japan..."

"Shimadera Shinobu."

"Oh? Do you know him?"

"No. But I heard from Director Ishii that her parents are both famous and she is a very good actress. I knew before that her film "Catworm" was also shortlisted for this year's Berlinale."

"Ishii. Oh, you're the director of Boys Over Flowers, right?"

"Yeah." Liu Yifei nodded.

Chen Nuo said: "So it's not optimistic, Xixi."

"I know."

The strategy of this scumbag Chen Nuo was successful.

Liu Yifei now turned most of her attention to the Berlin Film Festival.

Although she knew that the possibility of winning the award was slim, she really wanted to win the Silver Bear Award when she set foot on the land of Berlin.

But her opponents are indeed very strong. She has no advantage over the actresses competing with her in terms of the subject matter of the works, acting skills, age, or any other aspect.

Moreover, she has a disadvantage because of her partner.

Even though the movie hasn't been released yet and only the posters have been hung in the Film Palace on Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, he is already one of the most popular contenders for the Best Actor award at this year's Berlin Film Festival.

If he got it, could she still get it?

On the other hand, what if she gets it and he can’t?
Alas, the more Liu Yifei thought about it, the more distressed she became.

She thought so.

Not only because her purpose of making this movie was to stand on the podium like Fan Binbing, proving that she was more than just a vase.

It was also because of the person she had to stand on tiptoe to touch.

She wanted to be closer to him.

"You should go back to sleep. I need to take a nap, too. I have an interview in the morning."

"What interview?"

"Mingjing Weekly, Director Zhang asked me to build momentum for the movie."

"Oh."

Liu Yifei agreed reluctantly.

She didn't want to leave because she still had a lot of things to say and a lot of questions to ask.

But at this time I didn't know how to speak again.

She felt a little upset and was about to turn around and go back to her room.

Just then, she suddenly realized that he was so close to her.

Tiptoe?

No, just bend down.

Anyway, he said that he likes her too.

……

Two seconds later, Liu Yifei rushed out of Chen Nuo's door like a frightened deer.

With a bang, the door was slammed shut by her.

Chen Nuo sat on the stool, a little dazed, and wiped his mouth.

Depend on.

Xixi has really grown up.

……

……

"Welcome to Berlin, Chen."

"Thank you. I'm glad to be here too."

“Would you mind if I called Berlin the place where your dreams originated?”

"No, not at all."

“Is this your first time in Berlin?”

"Yes, my first time."

“Do you have any special feelings coming here this time?”

"Very cordial, like an old friend whom I have known for a long time but have never met."

"I'm glad you feel this way. In fact, we feel the same way. For many of our readers, you are like an old friend. Do you remember what you were doing and how you felt when you won the 55th Berlin Silver Bear Award?"

"Of course. I was already asleep at that time. It was one of my teachers who called me to tell me the news. I couldn't believe it. For a 19-year-old young man, this honor is incredible. I would like to make up my belated thanks here. Thank you to the chairman of the organizing committee, the respected Mr. Dieter Kosslick, and thank you to the chairman of the jury at that time, director Wim Wenders. Thank them for giving me the honor of Best Actor in my absence."

"Actually, I'll tell you a secret. You only won by one vote for Best Actor."

"Really? Then I'm really lucky."

"I think so too. From what you said, can I understand that you think Berlin was the first to discover your talent?"

"I suppose, yes. If those talents do exist."

(laughter)
(Reporter's note: It was a great pleasure to talk to Chen. In fact, such laughter was interspersed in many places of this interview. If you see similar annotations later, please don't be surprised. This seems to be different from our previous interview style. Because the interviewee of this interview is a unique person.)
"Okay. With this, I think some topics that have been debated for a long time can finally come to an end."

"Next, let's talk about the real you, Chen. I noticed that we have been sitting here talking for about a few minutes, and you have always faced me with an open and confident attitude. Similarly, the impression you give to the outside world has always been like this. What has created your personality that is somewhat different from that of traditional oriental actors? Is it because of your successful experience in Hollywood, the many honors you have won, or your handsome and youthful appearance?"

"Young and handsome, I suppose."

(laughter.)
"It's just a joke. Actually, many reporters have asked me similar questions before, and my answer is still the same. There is really no difference. I am just an ordinary Chinese. If there is any difference, it is that my job requires me to deal with many people. So, I may become more cheerful because of this."

"I see. So, Chen, what are your hobbies? Are you an interesting person?"

"No, I don't think so. I'm usually pretty boring. I don't have many hobbies, and my favorite thing is watching movies."

"Can you tell me about your favorite movie star?"

"Bruce lee."

"Where's the director?"

"Roman Polanski."

(laughter.)
"You're kidding me, right?"

"Yeah, I'm kidding. Is that obvious?"

(laughter)
"Yes, it's very obvious. Since you took the initiative to mention this person, can I ask what's going on between you and him?"

"I actually didn't know him at all and had never seen any of his movies. To this day, I have no idea why he took an interest in me. Was it because I was barely a minor at the time? I don't know."

(laughter)
"So Chen, you're saying that the problems between you two are all caused by Roman Polanski?"

"Yes."

"Roman Polanski is coming to Berlin with his new film The Ghost Writer. He is participating in the main competition like you. Will you go to see his film?"

"I will. Speaking of this, I'm actually a little confused as to why he can appear in every place in Europe so openly. If I remember correctly, he should be on the international wanted list, right? Why don't you arrest him?"

"Well, the reason is very complicated. If I want to explain it, it may take a day and a night. But you can understand that we don't think he did anything wrong, and we don't think the US trial is correct. So many countries decided to shelter him."

"alright, I got it."

"So if you met Roman Polanski this time, what would you say to him?"

"I won't say anything to him. I will only do one thing."

"what's up?"

"Call the police."

(laughter)
"Chen, you are very humorous. Okay, I want to talk about something more in-depth next. I want to talk about your love life."

"I heard that your current girlfriend is also the heroine of this movie, and you two fell in love during the filming. Is this true?"

PS:

I can't code anymore. I'm so sleepy.

It can only end at this awkward point.

The Spring Festival is too tiring.
