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

Chapter 89 Big Heart

Wang Jiawei took out a box of cigars from his arms and gestured to Qi Yuntian and Chen Nuo.
After both of them shook their heads, he didn't try to persuade them anymore. The person next to him handed him a cigar cutter. He took out a cigar, cut it open, lit it with a lighter, and took a slow puff.

In the smoke, Wang Jiawei continued, "Since these French guys recognize you and are willing to let you play the role, then go ahead. They are also willing to change the script for you, that's even better. Anyway, I have a lot of ideas about what happened when a Chinese person came in. This is what happened. Now you can tell me what you think."

Chen Nuo's original idea was to stay away from Wang Jiawei's work which flopped and had no fame at all.

However, no one who knew about this agreed.

Wang Jiawei and Li An are actually two completely different directors.

In addition to the difference in artistic style, most of Li An's films focus on the story, and the actors are just tools to advance the plot. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is about the rivers and lakes, Brokeback Mountain is about love, and Life of Pi is about people. In his film world, it makes no difference whether the actor is Tony Leung Chiu-wai or Chow Yun-fat.

But Wang Jiawei is different. He once said that all the plots in his movies are for the actors.

His films usually don't have scripts, and he even writes them on the spot, because he tailors the stories for the actors based on their own conditions and states.

In his plays, the actors are the ones who shine in the end, and their names are memorable.

This is Li Er's reason. She believes that Chen Nuo can learn more from acting in Wang Jiawei's play once than from acting in other directors' plays ten times.

Others have more practical reasons.

Just look at the cast list of previous films directed by Wang Jiawei and you will understand.

"Chungking Express": Brigitte Lin, Wu Jincheng, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Princess.

Ashes of Time: Leslie Cheung, Jacky Cheung, Brigitte Lin, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Tony Leung Chiu Wai.

In the Mood for Love: Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Maggie Cheung.

And the recent "2046", starring Tony Leung, Zhang Ziyi, Faye Wong, Gong Li and Takuya Kimura.

In short, this person is simply a celebrity stamp collector.

Although he will not reduce the pay for starring in his movies, his shooting time is very abnormal, so the cost-effectiveness is very low.

However, once he makes an invitation, few stars will refuse.

In addition to the fact that Wang Jiawei's personal artistic style is indeed unique in the whole of Asia, another important reason is that starring in his works is like labeling yourself as a superstar.

It puts you on the same platform as the people on the list.

So, when Chen Nuo showed his intention to refuse, no one in the Film Academy who knew about this matter agreed.

In the end, even Dean Zhang Tianyou called him into his office and told him earnestly that he didn't need to worry about things in the school. The Film Academy was not the old-fashioned Central Academy of Drama. Everything here was for the students. As long as there was an opportunity, just go ahead boldly. The school would support you.

In this kind of atmosphere, Chen Nuo couldn't say, Wang Mojing is going to fail this time, please don't let me go.

So, things have come to the current situation step by step. In front of Wang Jiawei, can he still refuse?
What Chen Nuo didn't know was that Wang Jiawei's film had indeed become his Waterloo. There were of course many reasons for this, and there were many different opinions.

But there is one biggest reason that almost all film critics agree on: Acclimatization.

The director's strong personal style conflicts with the actors' performance style.

Wang Jiawei thought that by forcing the delicate and restrained emotional expression of the East on his blue eyes and high nose, people would be able to empathize with him. However, he did not know that only black eyes were suitable for expressing his touching love words. The result of the forced grafting was that it ruined everyone's appetite.

Chen Nuo didn't know that in this life he actually became a variable in Wang Jiawei's movie.

His real idea was to shoot the movie well and then get himself out of it when the movie flopped.

Chen Nuo said sincerely, "Director Wang, I will try my best. I know you have high standards. If there is anything missing, just let me know. I can eat more than 20 bowls of noodles."

Wang Jiawei laughed loudly and said to his left and right: "Didn't I say after the last meeting that Nuozi is a simple and humorous person, and his personality is the same as Wei Zai and Jing Wen. Am I very good at judging people?"

The people around laughed and praised him again, but this time Wang Jiawei didn't listen to them. He stood up and said, "Nuozi, since your schedule is not a problem, then it's the pay. I will call the foreigners over now and ask your agent to discuss it with them. We will go out and chat. Don't worry, these foreigners are not good at other things, but they are very generous."

Wang Jiawei took Chen Nuo to visit his company, looking at the posters on the wall, and recounted some interesting stories that happened during the filming of the movie. Some of them were heard by Chen Nuo in later generations, while others were secrets that had never been circulated. Any story from Wang Jiawei's mouth would be a headline once it was spread out, but he obviously didn't guard against Chen Nuo, and told him everything, which made him listen with relish.

Finally, the two came to the terrace on the third floor and sat down on the lounge chairs under two sunshade chairs.

It was around 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The winter sunshine in Hong Kong was very warm, like the gentle hands of a lover, caressing the hair and skin, making people feel a kind of comfort from the heart. Chen Nuo lifted the recliner a little and placed it in the sun. He sat on it, squinting his eyes slightly, and wanted to lie down and stretch.

Wang Jiawei looked at him, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Nuozi, wait for me."

Then he got a DV from somewhere and started filming Chen Nuo, sometimes close and sometimes far away, having a lot of fun.

Chen Nuo was a little embarrassed at first, not knowing what kind of porn this guy was doing. Wang Jiawei said, "Imagine you are sunbathing on the beach."

Chen Nuo was still waiting for him to continue speaking, but he was very frugal with his words and didn't say a single word.

Well, Chen Nuo then lay down on the chair, closed his eyes, and pretended that the camera didn't exist, enjoying the beach, waves, and sunshine. After a while, he was almost falling asleep when he heard Wang Jiawei say, "Cut, OK."

Chen Nuo yawned and said, "I almost fell asleep."

Wang Jiawei laughed, gave Chen Nuo a thumbs up, and said, "I see you sleep very comfortably, Nuozi. I found that there is no difference between you in front of the camera and outside the camera. This is very rare."

Chen Nuo chuckled and said, "Maybe I am just too conceited."

Wang Jiawei said: "I told them that a good actor must have a big heart. You know the leading actress you're acting with this time, that pretty girl is only 18 years old, she also has a big heart and is not stage fright at all. After I auditioned her, I told people that other actors could leave and there was no need to audition, just her. I just watched your performance again, and now, I feel a little relieved about this play."

Chen Nuo asked curiously: "What's her name?"

"Emma Stone."

　I can’t flip the signs, but the photos you perverts found are really beautiful.

　　By the way, do you prefer Janice Man or Yang Ying?
