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

Chapter 6 Running in the Alley
Chen Nuo chose a Chinese restaurant that looked somewhat upscale. Zhang Yiyi looked up at the door curtain, said nothing, and followed him in.

After entering, Chen Nuo asked the waiter for a private room, and sat down with Zhang Yiyi at the large round table inside.

After the waiter finished pouring the tea, Chen Nuo raised the teacup and said, "Teacher Zhang, I'll use tea instead of wine to apologize to you again."

Zhang Yi nodded, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, "Okay, it's over."

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, please order the food."

Zhang Yiyi looked at the menu and asked, "Are you planning to apply to the Film Academy? The acting department?"

"Hmm...probably so."

"What do you mean by should be? Are you here for fun or for real?"

"I'm serious, but...I just want to go to college anyway."

Zhang Yiyi looked at him carefully again, thought for a moment, and said, "With your appearance, it would be a waste for you to learn other things. It's right for you to learn acting."

Next, the two asked the waiter to take the menu away. Zhang Yiyi fiddled with the teacup in front of him with a thoughtful look on his face. Chen Nuo did not disturb him.

After a while, the food was served and they started eating.

They were all men, so there was no need to worry about their image. Chen Nuo hadn't had breakfast yet and was already hungry. He and Zhang Yiyi finished almost every dish as it was served. In a short while, they had finished most of the four dishes and one soup.

"Teacher Zhang, would you like to order two more dishes?"

Zhang Yiyi shook his head, touched his stomach, and said, "Forget it, I'm full."

Chen Nuo said: "Then I'll go and pay the bill now?"

"Wait, sit for a while." Zhang Yiyi pressed his hand down and said hesitantly, "Let's talk about business. Now, I do have a movie in preparation. I wrote the script myself, and I have the funds. I have almost found other people in the crew. The only thing missing is a male lead, but I haven't found a suitable one yet. How about it, are you interested?"

Chen Nuo didn't expect that this matter had not yet passed, and hesitated for a moment.

In fact, he really wanted to try it, because he was also very curious about how his self-satisfied talents would perform in front of professionals. However, he still deliberately hesitated and said, "...Uh, I can't. By the way, Teacher Zhang, why don't you perform it yourself?"

Zhang Yiyi smiled and said, "With my image, there's nothing I can do. Besides, I'm a directing major, what role can I play?"

"Ah?" Chen Nuo was really surprised. "You are the director? But... don't you teach us acting lessons?"

"To teach acting classes, you have to be able to act yourself? Directors can't teach?" Zhang Yiyi sneered, "Your crappy school only charges 300 yuan per class hour. How can you invite some big shot from an acting school to give you lessons? Only poor guys like us who study directing care about this little money... Forget it, let's not talk about this. Are you interested?"

Chen Nuo understood that Chen Bicheng had indeed been taken advantage of in this school matter.

"Teacher Zhang, it's my honor that you like me. But I'm afraid that I won't know how to do anything by then and will be a burden to you."

"I know. Actually, I'm afraid too." Zhang Yi nodded. "How about this, do you have anything to do after school this afternoon?"

"……No."

"Okay, then you come with me and we'll go try out the play."

In the afternoon, they had a dialogue class. Before class, Ma Yanran asked Chen Nuo mysteriously, "Did you have lunch with Teacher Zhang at noon?"

Chen Nuo pretended to be stupid and asked, "What teacher Zhang or teacher Li?" "Just pretend, it's Teacher Zhang who taught us acting. I saw you, and you still don't admit it."

"Wow, you were following me?"

"Bah, stop being so conceited. I'm not that boring. When I went to eat lunch at noon, I saw you and Teacher Zhang standing at the door talking... Hey, what were you talking about?" Ma Yanran stared at Chen Nuo.

"Oh, nothing much. Teacher Zhang said he has a movie coming up and wants me to play the leading male role."

"Haha, I'm serious. You two knew each other before, right?"

"Yes, I know him. Then he asked me to play the leading male role but I didn't want to. He was trying to persuade me at noon."

"Haha, forget it." Ma Yanran turned cold, rolled her eyes at him, stood up and left. She didn't come to see him the whole afternoon.

After school in the afternoon, Chen Nuo followed Zhang Yiyi to a nearby alley called Dongmianhua Hutong.

A young man who looked about the same age as Zhang Yiyi and had a mohawk was standing there waiting for them. "Oh my goodness, it's really him!" As soon as he saw the two of them, he exclaimed and gave Zhang Yiyi a thumbs up, "What a great situation. Just let it go like this? Still want him to act?"

After saying that, he frowned and looked Chen Nuo up and down: "Why did this person catch your eye? I can't see anything special about him."

Zhang Yiyi waved his hands and said, "Hey, stop talking. Chen Nuo, this is Li Xiaotian, the producer of my film. Now I'm going to tell you about the play, and you just act it out for us here."

Zhang Yaba, a poor child who grew up in a Beijing alley, had a father who died and a mother who went crazy when he was young, and he grew up eating at many different houses. He had a childhood sweetheart named Xiaozhu. As they grew older, they fell in love and started dating in private. However, Xiaozhu's father wanted Xiaozhu to marry a rich man so that they could move out of Mianhua Hutong and live in a tall, bright building.

On this day, Xiao Zhu couldn't resist his father's request and broke up with Zhang Yanba in person.

"Come on, you are now Zhang Dumb. Xiaozhu just broke up with you, and you just came out of her house and are walking out of this alley. Do you understand?"

Chen Nuo looked at Zhang Yiyi, then looked at Li Xiaotian who was watching coldly and was obviously ready to laugh at him, and nodded, "I think I understand. Then I'll give it a try. If my performance is not good, please don't be offended, Teacher Zhang."

Zhang Yiyi said, "I don't mind, but you have to be serious. Okay?"

"Row."

Having shot so many short videos in his previous life, he knew what it was all about.

However, short videos are definitely different from movies, and are definitely different from what Zhang Yiyi wants to see him perform now.

If after he tried, Zhang Yiyi said he couldn't do it, then he would have known himself earlier. What camera sense is all an illusion. He should change his career as soon as possible. After all, the promise of passing the exam is definitely fake. If he can't perform, he can learn to sing. If he can't sing, he can learn to dance or paint. In short, he should hurry up and change his career. It's not too late.

How should he act out this scene? Chen Nuo pondered as he walked into Mianhua Hutong.

First of all, we must not be as exaggerated as before.

Secondly, you need to concentrate, just like what Zhang Yiyi said today.

Clear your mind and focus.

again……

What about again?
After thinking for a long time, fortunately, the scene Zhang Yiyi described to him was very familiar to him. He had seen it many times since he was a child.

So, it should be okay to just do it the way I remember it, right?
