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

Chapter 587 Professional Simp
Chen Nuo spent four days reading through the new script Quentin gave him.

After reading it, he understood a few things.

First, Quentin did not lie to him.

Sean was indeed a fisherman in China, and later worked on the railroads in the United States. It's just that his other professions were far more glamorous.

Once the top double-crown thug under the Heavenly King, he later hunted down and killed people across various states in the United States, and would also casually kill a few arrogant KKK bounty hunters...

Thank goodness, his months-long journey wasn't entirely a waste of time.

At least now his lean physique bears some resemblance to Bruce Lee, making him a perfect fit for the role of a martial arts and marksman who can single-handedly take down four burly white men and two dogs.

Secondly, Chen Nuo was absolutely certain that, thanks to the flapping of his butterfly wings, both "Django Unchained" and "The Chinese Laborers Who Were Saved" have now completely disappeared from this universe.

Quentin Tarantino's new, untitled script, while still somewhat related to Django Unchained, only touches on the time and setting; the rest of the plot and structure are completely different from the original.

Not only have the roles been completely reversed, with the rescuer and the rescued switched places, but the driving force and core of the main plot are also entirely different. What was originally a single storyline has now become a dual storyline, one explicit and one implicit, dramatically increasing the information density of the entire script.

What slave rebellion?

No, no, no, too boring.

Now, a ruthless dragon from the East is wreaking havoc on the simple land of America, committing countless acts of racism.

As a result, even someone like him who doesn't like reading couldn't help but devour the book for four whole days, finishing it in one go. It's just a pity there's no reward function, otherwise I would have at least given Quentin a "Lord of the Alliance" award.

It’s wonderful, really wonderful.

Quentin Tarantino's personal style is so strong in the script that it's almost overwhelming.

Violence, gore, and a blend of real and fictional history are all hallmarks of Quentin Tarantino's work, which feels like a fusion of the styles of films such as Kill Bill, Inglourious Basterds, and later The Hateful Eight.

Besides, Quentin Tarantino's Notebook was no joke; it brought Sean, the traitor, to life. Chen Nuo thought that if this script didn't win the Oscar for Best Screenplay, it would be because the judges had taken dirty money from that bastard Harvey Weinstein out of jealousy.

But precisely because it was so captivating, his past as a producer couldn't help but resurface.

This show feels like everything is a focal point, nothing can be omitted, and cutting anything would make the story less compelling. So, with such a thick script, over 300 pages long, how long will the final cut be? It seems like it'll probably be well over three hours long! How can that possibly work?
But then he laughed at himself for being overly worried.

Quentin Tarantino, after a year of seclusion, wrote such a magnificent work. With a little adaptation and expansion, it could probably be serialized on Chinese websites and make money. How could he not even be able to handle editing?
With the masterpiece "Cloud Atlas" as a precedent, such a clever person would never deliberately invite trouble upon himself.

third,

Chen Nuo understood why Quentin had made this trip in person.

Besides ensuring confidentiality by personally handing him the script and having him sign a confidentiality agreement on the spot, it was quite a thoughtful gesture.

……

"Its name is Daisy, and now it's yours."

When Chen Nuo finished speaking, Quvenzani Wallis's eyes widened suddenly, her mouth opened, revealing two sparse front teeth. After pausing for two seconds, she regained her mature demeanor and politely said, "Thank you, but no need, my family doesn't have a place to keep horses."

Chen Nuo stroked the brown mane of the horse in front of him and said casually, "You can keep it here and come ride it when you have time."

To be honest, he really didn't have much patience to coax a little kid, and he certainly didn't think before he spoke. However, the hint of a smile that flashed in Quvenzani Wallis's eyes made him pause for a moment.

Is he being mocked by this ten-year-old kid?

“I have to go to school and film, so I don’t have time to ride horses. But thank you anyway,” Quvenzane Wallis said politely, completely devoid of any childishness.

However, child stars are generally like that; they mature very early.

Just like some people who are only 19 years old but already have multiple relationships and expect women to pay for their hotel rooms, they are exactly the same as 29-year-old scumbags.

Chen Nuo looked back and saw that the black girl's mother was talking to Alison. Without saying a word, he lifted Quvenzani onto the horse.

He then mounted the horse and sat behind the little girl.

He gripped the reins with both hands, put his legs up, and shouted "Giddy up!" Daisy immediately neighed, her hooves pounding, and she began to gallop away amidst Quivenzani's screams.

This run lasted for nearly 20 minutes.

When Chen Nuo reined in the horse, Quwenzani's face turned pale.

As soon as Chen Nuo lifted her off the horse, the girl immediately bent over and vomited on the ground.

Chen Nuo didn't look at her, but instead gazed at the beautiful scenery before her.

The sunlight slanted across the water, making the ripples shimmer like broken gold, and several egrets strolled leisurely on the shallow beach by the lake.

The wind blows from the distant mountains, carrying the scent of green grass and the coolness of moisture.

As he was lost in thought, he heard the vomiting behind him stop.

So he said without turning his head:
"Didn't the director say you'd been practicing horseback riding for two months? How come you're still so bad?"

The little girl behind him could no longer maintain her precocious demeanor and shouted angrily, "You almost killed me! Where is this? Take me back!"

Chen Nuo is now certain that what the girl's mother said about her being a big fan of his was just a polite way of putting it.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it and instead asked, "See this lake? There are three lakes on my ranch, this is the second largest. The smallest one already has a name, it's called Nora, which is my daughter's name. The largest one is called Rong, which is my mother's name..."

"I don't want to hear any of this, I just want to go back!"

"Now only this lake remains, and I haven't named it yet..."

“Chen, you have seriously violated U.S. law! This is unlawful detention! You will go to jail! Unless you send me back right now—”

"...But for now, I'm going to call it Quvenzani."

The moment Chen Nuo finished speaking, all the noise disappeared.

Only the sound of the lake water gently lapping against the shore remained.

After a while, the little girl asked cautiously and softly, "Are you going to call it Quvenzani?"

"Yes," Chen Nuo asked calmly, "Do you agree?"

“I…” Quvenzani swallowed, paused for two seconds, and then said, “I agree, but are you serious, Chen? This lake will be called by my name from now on?”

"it is true."

Chen Nuo turned around, looked at the little black girl, and said, "You should have read the script by now, so that's not surprising, right?"

Quvenzani stammered, "But that... is just a movie."

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "Perhaps. In any case, I am the master of this land, and I can do whatever I want. By the way, my daughter will be coming here in a couple of days. Would you like to meet her?"

……

……

Chen Ruoruo—the future mistress of this ranch—finally arrived at the ranch in Montana two days later.

Chen Nuo's Gulfstream GS650 private jet took off from Shanghai Pudong Airport.
It cruised at high altitude for twelve hours and thirty-seven minutes.

Spanning the Pacific Ocean and the North American continent,

Finally, it landed at Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, southwest of Montreal.

This transoceanic flight was quite a grand affair: in addition to Fan Binbing, she was accompanied by two private nannies, three bodyguards, as well as Lin Meiru and Wang Zhihan.

Chen Nuo personally led a convoy to the airport to pick them up.

On the way back to the ranch, Wang Zhihan's voice never stopped.

"Wow, Brother Nuo, no way, you bought all this land from here to here?"

"Now I've seen what it means to say that wherever your gaze falls, it is all your land."

"No way, that lake is one too... Holy crap, really? That one too?"

"That snow mountain... What? It's here too!? Are Americans having a hard time? They'll sell anything to foreign countries? No, Nuo-ge, when we were deskmates at Anxiang Vocational High School, how come I didn't realize you were this awesome? Back then, besides being good at... brewing tea, you weren't anything special."

"Do you raise those cows too?"

"Wow, wow, wow, those cowboys are so cool! I want to ride horses too, and I want to learn how to lasso cows!"

"This is amazing! It's so beautiful! Are there any plots left here? I want to buy one too!"

"Do you have money?" a faint voice asked.

"I...no," Wang Zhihan said with a forced smile. "Isn't all my money with you?"

Lin Meiru pouted and said, "Then why don't you shut up? You talk too much, you're so noisy, so annoying."

"Okay, okay, then I won't say anything more." Wang Zhihan actually stopped talking.

Upon seeing this, Chen Nuo couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

Wang Zhihan and Lin Meiru got together in March of this year. As the saying goes, even a good woman can be won over by a persistent man, and this is exactly what happened. This Shanghai girl was indeed won over by the relentless pursuit and nagging of this country bumpkin from Long'an.

But now, it seems that after getting together, Wang Zhihan, that good-for-nothing, has once again repeated his mistakes, being completely dominated by the shrewd and capable Shanghai girl. Not only is she obedient to him on a daily basis, but she also has to hand over her monthly salary... It seems that he still needs to have a chat with Wang Zhihan when he has time.

Being a simp, if you keep licking someone's boots, you'll end up with nothing. What future is that? As a brother and friend, he naturally had to offer some advice.

But right now, he doesn't have time to deal with these things; he's too busy with his own family matters.

Calculating the time, it had been almost half a year since he had last seen Chen Ruoruo and her daughter Fan Binbing.

Chen Ruoruo is now a two-and-a-half-year-old girl, at the age where she is shy and recognizes strangers. From the moment they met at the airport, she kept avoiding him, refusing to get close, let alone let him hold her. She stayed behind Fan Bingbing and the nanny, and no amount of coaxing could get her to cooperate.

After getting into the car, she lay down in the nanny's arms and fell asleep within two minutes.

The nanny, who was in her forties, looked embarrassed and whispered, "Mr. Chen, would you like to give me a hug?"

Chen Nuo shook his head and said, "It's okay, let her sleep."

Lin Meiru interjected, "She's probably tired, Mr. Chen. Before we came, Ruoruo said she missed her dad terribly. Wang Zhihan, don't you think so?"

Wang Zhihan opened his mouth, scratched his head, and said, "No, right? I didn't hear it." "You!" Lin Meiru was furious and pinched the fat man's arm hard. "It was clearly there! Are you deaf?"

Wang Zhihan cried out in pain, "Ouch!" and said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, it really is."

Chen Nuo laughed and said, "I'm fine, Xiao Mei, thank you."

Then he turned his head back.

The large van had three rows of seats. Wang Zhihan and Xiao Mei were in the last row, the nanny and Chen Ruoruo were in the second row, while he and Fan Binbing sat in the first row in the back. Gulnazar sat in the front passenger seat. The rest of the bodyguards and nannies were in another vehicle.

Fan Bingbing, who was looking out the window at the camera, turned her face and smiled, saying, "It's because you've been gone for so long this time that I've forgotten who you are. You'll get used to each other in a couple of days."

Chen Nuo leaned closer and whispered in the woman's ear, "Just don't forget me."

Fan Bingbing curled her lips, rolled her eyes at him, and said, "If you don't see me soon, I'll really forget about you. Look at you, you've gotten so thin. Is it really necessary to treat yourself like this just to make a movie?"

Chen Nuo laughed and said, "What's the big deal?"

Fan Bingbing didn't speak for a moment, then said after a while, "Then let's stay here for a few days, and you'll come back to China with us?"

"Ah."

"Then you should join the production team when you get back, right?"

"Correct."

"How long will it take to film this time?"

Chen Nuo thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say, maybe four or five months?"

"Four or five months? Can you come to Ruoruo's birthday party this year?"

Chen Nuo thought for a moment and said, "I'll try my best."

Fan Binbing gave a wry smile and said softly, "Never mind, you go ahead with your work, filming is the most important thing."

Okay, it seems not only his biological daughter treats him like a stranger, but his lover is also dissatisfied with him. If it were anyone else, they might have become depressed.

However, Chen Nuo is, after all, a cold-blooded scumbag who understands things very well; there's no such thing as having it all in this world.

To make a living, many people leave their loved ones and hometowns, only seeing their families once every year or two, or even every few years. He is just one of them, nothing special.

In particular, he is still lucky compared to ordinary people who work hard.

After working hard, I've finally achieved something.

Sure enough, when the convoy drove into the ranch he bought in Montana and stopped on the long driveway in front of the old house, this time, not only Wang Zhihan, but almost everyone who got out of the car couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Including Fan Binbing.

No matter how much discontent and resentment the woman harbored, when she saw the scene before her, she couldn't help but stand by the car and let out a long sigh. Looking at the endless grassland, she murmured, "It's so beautiful..."

Chen Nuo stood beside her and said, "I'll take you somewhere later."

Fan Bingbing asked in surprise, "Where?"

"You'll see in a moment. Come on, let me introduce you first."

At this moment, not only were Quvenzani and her daughter, the newly hired housekeeper, cook, and servants at the entrance of the old house, but more importantly, the cowboys in the ranch couldn't sit still any longer after learning that Chen Ruoruo was coming. Anyone who had free time came over.

Chen Nuo could even tell that these people had tidied themselves up, looked quite clean and presentable, and the cow dung smell on them wasn't as strong anymore.

I don't know if that's true or not, but surprisingly, Chen Ruoruo wasn't afraid of strangers at this moment. She didn't seem to mind these fierce-looking foreigners at all. She held the nanny's hand and stood there confidently.

Despite not understanding anything, she wasn't shy at all when Finn Little and the others came over and introduced themselves to her in a serious manner, and would occasionally give a sweet smile.

When a cowgirl knelt down and gave her a small black cowboy hat, Chen Ruoruo smiled even more happily.

She clumsily put the hat on her head, the brim tilting slightly to reveal her fair and lovely little face. In the sunlight, her eyes sparkled like crystals.

The cowboys immediately erupted in an exaggerated cheer, and even Quvenzani couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

At that moment, the air throughout the entire ranch changed.

Chen Nuo tilted his head and asked in a low voice, "Did you teach me?"

But Fan Bingbing's expression clearly didn't suggest he was prepared. He stared intently at Chen Ruoruo, a hint of surprise in his eyes. Upon hearing his question, she immediately shook her head: "No, you didn't tell me. How would I know? This child… I don't know what's going on either. By the way, do your employees all know about Ruoruo's relationship with you?"

"Ah."

Aren't you afraid...it will get out?

Chen Nuo laughed and said, "If I'm afraid of this, then what am I even doing here?"

After saying that, he reached out and patted the back of her hand, then changed his tone, "Alright, while they play here, I'll take you somewhere. Can you ride a horse?"

"will not."

"OK, then I'll ride with you."

"Row."

After that, Chen Nuozhen ignored everyone else and called a cowboy to bring his favorite black horse, which he called Lightning. Chen Nuozhen first helped Fan Binbing onto the horse and helped her sit down. Once she was settled, he flipped over and landed lightly behind her.

"Hurry up," he whispered a reminder.

Fan Binbing's voice was a little nervous. "Okay."

Chen Nuo then flicked the reins, and the black horse neighed, its hooves thundering like drums, and galloped away into the distance.

Although Lightning was much faster than Daisy when running at full speed, Chen Nuo didn't make the horse run too fast, so just like last time, it took more than 20 minutes to reach the lake.

Fan Bingbing felt completely relaxed at this moment. The moment she saw the lake, she screamed like a little girl, making him laugh out loud.

He stopped by the lake, dismounted, picked up Fan Bingbing, and patted Lightning's rump, letting it graze by the lake.

Fan Binbing stood by the lake, her eyes sparkling: "It's so beautiful... I feel like I haven't read enough books, it's indescribable. No wonder you were so happy when you bought this place."

After saying that, she took a deep breath, put her hands to her mouth, and shouted loudly into the distance:
"what--!"

The sound spread between heaven and earth, startling several wild ducks, which flapped their wings and skimmed across the lake.

Fan Binbing giggled.

She tilted her head, tucked her wind-blown hair behind her ear, and glanced back at him: "Why are you staring at me like that?"

Chen Nuo smiled but remained silent.

Fan Bingbing didn't say anything more, but turned to look at the lake and said softly, "I really want to live here for the rest of my life."

Chen Nuo knew that if it were Gao Yuanyuan, perhaps there would be some truth in those words, but with her, there was probably not even one ten-thousandth of it. But he still chimed in, "Come visit often if you like. Anyway, I'm filming, so I don't need a plane."

"Mm." Fan Bingbing nodded gently.

Oh wow.

The pleasant atmosphere was completely destroyed once again after he said "filming".

Chen Nuo seemed to be performing poorly today, yet he appeared oblivious to it, standing silently beside the woman, gazing at the lake and quietly appreciating it for a while.

Several minutes later, he finally spoke: “There are three lakes on the ranch. The DeLore family originally named them all, but now that I'm here, I've changed their names. I've given them Chinese names, which are a bit awkward for foreigners to pronounce, and the cowboys often still call them by their old names. But I told the man in charge of them, the old man from before, that if I hear them mispronounce a name, I'll deduct $5 from their wages. At first, many cowboys complained to me, but later, they made fewer and fewer mistakes. I thought that this way, they would first change their way of speaking, then it would influence the people in town and the surrounding area, and then in five or ten years, the name of the lake would be permanently the name I gave it.”

As he spoke, Fan Binbing exclaimed softly, "That's wonderful."

Chen Nuo said, "Guess what name I chose?"

"what?"

"I named the smallest one Ruoruo, and the largest one Rong. This lake is called Binbing."

After he finished speaking, the air fell silent again.

Fan Bingbing turned around, her face full of disbelief, and asked him, "...What did you say this lake is called?"

Chen Nuo turned his head, his expression natural, and said calmly, "Bingbing."

"………………real?"

Fan Bingbing remained silent for several seconds before asking with trembling lips.

Chen Nuo calmly replied, "Of course it's true."

Fan Binbing stared at him blankly.

Of course, women couldn't see any flaws on the face of a Grand Slam Best Actor; they only felt that every strand of Chen's hair exuded one word: sincerity.

The two looked into each other's eyes.

Then, Fan Bingbing's body, which had been somewhat tense, gradually softened, and her gaze became more and more gentle. Perhaps there was a trace of resentment and dissatisfaction before, but at this moment, it was blown away by the wind on the lake and completely disappeared in the wind.

Gradually, the woman's eyes began to glisten, and with a slight sob in her voice, she said, "You, you only know how to make me happy."

Chen Nuo said softly, "I'm not kidding you, it's true. Also, do you know why I named this lake Binbing? Because it's the most beautiful of the three lakes. I feel that only it is worthy of you."

Well, that's it. As soon as he finished speaking, tears streamed down Fan Bingbing's face.

Then the woman lunged forward, forcefully shoving her delicate body into his arms, and then cupped his face in her hands, pressing her burning lips against his.

It's a pity Wang Zhihan didn't see this scene, otherwise he would have known what a professional simp really is.

Ps:

Sorry I'm a little late.

Looking at the list of top contributors, I realized that so many people had subscribed to all of them.

I can only regret that I haven't read enough books. Besides thank you, I don't know what else to say.
