When he woke up again, through the gap in the curtains, he saw the hazy morning light outside. There were people talking outside the door, and he could hear the voice of Zhang Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the door opened, the gazes of Zhang Yi, Li Xiaotian, and two others all turned toward him in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phew...\" Zhang Yi let out a long sigh, \"Brother Nuo, if you hadn't woken up, we really would have called 120.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cameraman was there too, his voice still booming early in the morning: \"Director, I told you Chen Nuo would be fine. Ever seen Dragon Ball? This is just like Sun Wukong transforming into a Super Saiyan for the first time; there’s always a period of weakness after an outburst, he’ll be fine once he recovers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi ignored him and said to Chen Nuo, \"You know, you slept for nearly 30 hours. Today's filming schedule is already prepared; are you okay now, can you set off?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo nodded and said, \"I can, give me five minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The biggest advantage of shooting this film was not needing two hours for makeup, but an hour later, when Chen Nuo stood on that hillside again, trying to recapture the feeling from the day before, he found that no matter how hard he tried, something was always missing, just like a vital breath of oxygen missing from the air he breathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to shoot a major scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mute had dug for five years, and today, he finally dug out the house he had envisioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what Chen Nuo needed to express was the mute's emotions at this very moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cut! Chen Nuo, come here for a second.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Zhang Yi shouted \"Cut\" twice, he called Chen Nuo to his side and asked with a frown, \"What's going on with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say, \"I'm just not feeling it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi sighed and said, \"Do you feel like today's acting doesn't have the same feeling as that day?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then do you know what I felt when I looked at you that day?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What feeling?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A miracle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't think I'm joking with you. When you were digging that hole back then, it was like watching Liang Chao in Days of Being Wild, or Zhou Xingchi in A Chinese Odyssey. Don't forget, this is only your first movie; if this isn't a miracle, what is? But at the same time, you must know that even for the greats like Liang Chao or Zhou Xingchi, it's impossible to stay at their peak in every single film. It's normal for an actor's state to fluctuate. But that doesn't mean you've regressed, you know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo was silent for a moment, then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi patted Chen Nuo on the shoulder: \"Remember, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Many veteran actors who have acted their whole lives say that acting is an art, and also an exploration; you can explore for a lifetime and never find where the end is. Actually, your performance that day already proved your potential. Now, what you need to do is continue exploring, and in that unknown exploration, find the direction that can excite you again. Don't rush, take it slow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"OK, let's do it again.\" Chen Nuo returned to the set and adjusted his state. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and let himself relax, returning to the act of painting itself, rather than recalling himself painting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the camera started again,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mute returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hunched his back, his hands trembling, standing on the hillside, looking up with a face stained yellow by mud, two tear tracks hanging down. He clenched his fists tightly, opened his mouth, but couldn't make a single sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made one wonder, what is he doing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is a mute, it's ridiculous, could he possibly be trying to shout?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the mute seemed to have no intention of giving up; his neck turned bright red, squeezing bit by bit from his throat, just like squeezing out a parasite that had been growing in his body for many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heh heh heh heh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uh uh uh uh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah ah ah ah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, a thunderous roar rushed out from his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twenty-year cage was shattered right then and there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mute began to roar at the sky, veins bulging, his face ferocious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out the mute wasn't a mute; it was just that people called him a mute, so he could only be a mute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why he never used sign language, and that's why he could hear every word that Xiao Zhu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the mute was finally no longer a mute; he let out his own roar, toward the dark, oppressive sky and the deathly still earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The repression and pain of twenty years seemed to be contained in this roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi looked at the monitor, slapped his thigh hard, and shouted: \"Good! Cut!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up and said loudly: \"That's the feeling! Chen Nuo, remember this feeling; one day you will definitely win a Golden Horse Award!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the day of wrapping up, there was a heavy rain in the county town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Li Xiaotian announced the wrap, a few drops of water suddenly fell from the sky, and immediately after, a torrential downpour began to patter down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cameraman ran all the way with his camera, and after escaping into the minibus, he said: \"Director, it's amazing. We filmed for over half a month without a single drop of rain, and as soon as we wrap, it rains. It feels like Heaven is helping us. I think our movie is definitely going to be a hit. When you list the production credits, don't get my name wrong; it's Xu from Wu Zixu, not Xu. Director of Photography, don't write cameraman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Xu, how could I get your name wrong? Don't worry, I'll definitely make you the director of photography,\" Zhang Yi promised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also a bit shaken. The torrential rain outside the window pounded against the car glass, as if a machine gun were firing directly at them. The bean-sized raindrops blurred everything in sight; looking out from the car, everything outside was a vast whiteness, and nothing could be seen clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's just wait here for a while. The rain is too heavy, better not drive on the mountain road,\" the driver turned around and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes, this rain is truly terrifying. Let's wait until it lets up a bit before we go.\" Li Xiaotian was also still feeling a lingering fear, and turned to the cameraman and said: \"Brother Xu, you're right, we are truly blessed by Heaven, otherwise how could there be such a coincidence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's a saying: when the time comes, the heavens and earth lend their strength; when luck fades, the hero is powerless. We must be at the peak of our fortune right now, with great luck ahead. Director Zhang, my name is He Yang, He from congratulations, Yang from poplar tree, lighting and art director, don't get my name wrong either,\" a man in his 30s chimed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1329,"2026-06-21T01:34:38.888Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","de97fd9f3ee4962fa5ac0e138971ef4f00c67111a10cf474cfcaa31404bb55ab","reborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--chapter-13","reborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--chapter-11",491,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--cover.jpg"]
