Chapter 38 Great Actor

When Chen Nuo read the script, he knew that this was a very depressing movie, and during the filming, he often had the urge to self-destruct and become autistic, so he was mentally prepared.

However, apart from him, only Li Er had seen the clip before, so he might have had some psychological preparation. As for the others, they were really caught off guard and stabbed, and it was a knife that went straight into their hearts.

Pan Chengrong didn't say anything. She cried almost non-stop from the beginning to the end of the film. She held a box of tissues in her hands alone, and she didn't know how many times she used them. From the moment the mute dug the house, the whole room was dead silent. Qi Yuntian's nose seemed to be stuffed with two stones, and his strong nasal sound could be heard throughout the room.

"Haha, the show is over."

Qi Yifei's voice came, but it was quite hoarse. He seemed to have noticed this, so he coughed twice and cleared his throat, "Xiaotian, go open the curtains. This movie, hi..."

Qi Yifei didn’t say anything more about the movie.

After Qi Yuntian opened the curtains, Qi Yifei took off his glasses, leaned on the sofa, and rubbed his eyes.

"Ahem." Chen Bicheng also coughed twice. "Chen Nuo's filming seems a bit tragic. This is my opinion as an outsider, and I don't know if I'm wrong. Teacher Li, what do you think? To be honest, I didn't really understand it. Haha."

Li Er found a roll of paper from somewhere and held it in his hand. The number of paper balls in front of him was almost the same as that in front of Pan Chengrong.

"It's been a long, long time since I've seen such a touching film. Zhang Yiyi made a masterpiece, and Chen Nuo, you played a role that I will never forget, and that everyone here will never forget. As your teacher, I congratulate you. As an actor, I envy and even jealous of you."

Chen Nuo was a little restless. "Teacher Li, you are too kind."

"No, I may be a little emotional now, but I can say for sure that this work will not be unknown and will definitely have a place in the history of Chinese film. Although I can't rationally analyze the camera language, metaphors, and satire and criticism of many realities in it now."

At this point, Li Er choked up again, and Qi Yuntian quickly handed his mother a tissue.

"But putting aside all that, just from the characters, the story, and the actors' own appeal, it is one of the most charming works I have seen in the past ten years. I am really jealous of you, Chen Nuo. You are still so young, and you have encountered such a good role, and you have dedicated such natural and touching acting skills..." Li Er calmed down and said, "Your father asked me to comment, but what can I comment on? In fact, my tears are my comments, and the tears of everyone here are also comments on it. For a good work, any words are superfluous."

"Because good works speak for themselves, they don't need anyone to write notes for them, nor do they need anyone to give them a title. They just speak their mind, and no matter whether you are a professional or an amateur, someone who knows about movies or not, a professor, a worker, or a farmer, you can understand what they are saying, because human nature is interlinked, human emotions can be interconnected, and the appeal of art is universal."

Qi Yifei coughed lightly and said, "Let me interject. Although I don't watch many movies, I can tell the difference between a good movie and a bad one. Chen Nuo's film contains many things. It is a work that breaks down the whole into parts. It breaks down the lives of each of us and integrates them into the film."

"When I first watched it, I thought the plot was outrageous and out of touch with reality, but as I got to know it better, I realized that it was just an exaggerated artistic technique. In fact, the core of the story is about the people and things around us, and even ourselves."

“The director’s ideas are great, but without Chen Nuo’s wonderful performance, I think it would be difficult to convey such complex ideas.”

Li Er said seriously, "Old Qi, you are right. If Chen Nuo had not been cast in this movie, and some other actor had been substituted, the filming would have either been stopped halfway through, or people wouldn't have been able to understand it, because first of all, his character wouldn't be established. If the audience couldn't understand the contradictions in the mute, then the film would have no basis, and the logic would have been broken."

Chen Bicheng coughed and said, "Chen Nuo, the two teachers spoke highly of you because they love you. Don't think you are so great. If it weren't for Teacher Li and Director Zhang Yiyi, would you be able to film? You can't even get through the door."

Li Er said seriously, "Chen Nuo, today in front of your parents, I will repeat some things again, for you and them. You are gifted in the art of film. Outsiders may not know, but insiders will understand at a glance. Otherwise, why did Director Chen Kexin make the final decision after watching two minutes of your performance? Otherwise, why did Zhang Yiyi find you on the road?"

"This kind of talent is hard to come by, and it is what countless people dream of. You have such a precious treasure, I hope you cherish it, love it, and don't squander it or ignore it. You should first become an excellent actor, not a box office champion. There is a saying in the industry, although I don't agree with it. That saying is that the Central Academy of Drama produces actors, and the Beijing Film Academy produces stars."

"Chen Nuo, I hope you can change the prejudice of the film school in the future. In the alumni directory of the film school, your column will be written as the great actor Chen Nuo, not the first-line star Chen Nuo. Don't be like many people nowadays, who only care about money. As long as they are paid, I will act in any bad movie. I hope you can pursue art, love movies and acting, this is my little expectation for you."

When it comes to money, Chen Bicheng can't sit still. As soon as Li Er finished speaking, he almost patted his chest and promised: "Teacher Li, don't worry about this. Although our family is not rich, we will never let him make bad movies for money. If he dares to make some shady movies for money, I will break his legs! Chen Nuo, did you hear me!"

Pan Chengrong said, "Why are you yelling in Teacher Li's house? Keep your voice down. But Teacher Li, you can rest assured about this. We have never let Chen Nuo worry about money since he was a child. This child is definitely not the kind of person who is only interested in profit. If he really fails to live up to your expectations in the future, just like his father said, we will definitely educate him well."
