Chapter 162: CCTV Interview
The door was pushed open gently.
Sheshan Villa was indeed high-end enough; the lock on the door didn't make a sound.
What happened next was like a violent storm.
Moonlight filtered through the thick curtains, barely outlining a hazy silhouette in the pitch-black room.
Savage movements began the moment their bodies made contact.
There wasn't even a single word spoken.
When it came to it, Chen Nuo couldn't imagine that Jeon Do-yeon's seemingly slender and thin body actually hid such fierce desire.
If it weren't for the fact that his body was now comparable to an athlete's, he would have truly been swallowed alive by her.
After the intense exercise, Chen Nuo finally asked the first sentence after Jeon Do-yeon entered the room.
"Why?"
Honestly, he had previously thought that this woman wanted to continue their fate from Cannes.
But after the contact just now, no matter how slow he was, he could feel that the other party was clearly venting something.
Jeon Do-yeon panted, lying naked on the thick velvet carpet on the floor.
Then, she spoke softly about the various comments about her on the internet in Korea.
Chen Nuo suddenly realized.
No wonder she didn't look at him favorably at first, picking faults everywhere, and later scratched his palm, working overtime to provide extra service.
It turned out there was such a story behind it.
This woman had developed a rebellious psychology after being cyberbullied.
So, she took the initiative to ask to make a cameo in his movie; was this breaking the pot or pretending to be open-minded?
Or both?
Sigh, didn't this harm him?
Leaving Xia Yehe to keep an empty room, staying in the villa arranged for them in Sheshan.
Not locking the door was because he thought Jeon Do-yeon had sent a signal to come and discuss movies with him, but he didn't expect to be inexplicably pressed to the ground and rubbed by the older sister.
However, the taste of Korean women was truly unique, gentle as water; no matter how violent he was, she would only cater to him instead of resisting, and the woman even seemed to feel more excited.
Chen Nuo whispered: "You want to prove to those bastards that you, Jeon Do-yeon, are an independent woman, and absolutely not something those male-chauvinist assholes can control. Right?"
Jeon Do-yeon's voice sounded like it was coming from underwater, muffled, with the sound of dripping water: "... Mm."
"Sigh, why do you have to do this?" Chen Nuo touched her fluffy short hair, "Jeon Do-yeon Noona..."
This "Noona" seemed to have flipped a switch again.
Jeon Do-yeon's movements became intense again.
Listening to the sound she made, her throat seemed to be blocked by something.
Chen Nuo couldn't help it anymore.
His mind went blank.
His body felt like it was electrocuted.
Early the next morning, Chen Nuo woke up alone on the silk bed; the delicate touch of the sheets and quilt made him feel like he was dreaming back to last night.
Today's itinerary was quite full, and he couldn't reminisce in bed.
In the morning, their group went to visit the Chedun Film and Television Base. In the afternoon, they had free time, and in the evening, they took a cruise to tour the Huangpu River and enjoy the night view of the Bund.
Then the next day, everyone went back to their own homes.
Jiang Wen called Chen Nuo last night and cleared the air, saying that Takeshi Kitano and the others had come from afar and were a bit tired, so it wasn't the right time.
He would definitely help him get things done today.
Now Chen Nuo truly felt that he owed a huge favor.
In the future, if Brother Jiang asked him to film, as long as it wasn't full-frontal nudity, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to refuse.
A group of film people and their respective assistants ate a five-star breakfast prepared by Sheshan.
When shaking hands with Jeon Do-yeon.
Chen Nuo saw the kind and natural smile she revealed, and felt like he was bathed in a spring breeze.
He couldn't help but think in his heart, with this woman's acting skills, I'm afraid that even if she had an affair with him for a lifetime, it would be impossible for her future husband or anyone else to notice a single bit.
Afterwards, everyone got into a car together to see the film base that the "Paris of the East" had spent great effort to build.
They were sitting in a minibus; a dozen people with translators, just right for sitting.
Takeshi Kitano's spirit was indeed much better, completely different from the serious old man yesterday, talking freely on the minibus.
It was difficult to be funny through a translator, but it seemed even more difficult to make him forget his identity as a stand-up comedian.
"At that time, I swung the motorcycle handlebar hard, but it was too late. After the world turned upside down, I fainted. After waking up, the doctor said half of my face had been inserted into the guardrail. At that time, I only had one thought in my mind: I was going to lose my fortune paying the movie breach of contract penalty."
Listening to the translated words, Chen Nuo shook his head while laughing.
He truly admired him for taking his own tragic encounter and making fun of it.
"At first I thought I would be unemployed, but later I found that I could still act in movies. Because my audience didn't want to see me laugh at all."
A burst of low laughter erupted in the minibus.
Jiang Wen suddenly asked the translator: "You ask Old Man Kitano, he has filmed movies for a lifetime, does he prefer being an actor or a director?"
Clearly, this was a question he wanted to ask himself, because this person was walking on the same path as Takeshi Kitano, wanting to get some thoughts from a predecessor.
The translator translated it, and Takeshi Kitano said very seriously: "An actor is a pen, and a director is the hand holding the pen."
"When I was a pen, I felt that being a hand was very happy, because he could direct me on what painting to draw."
"But when I was a hand, I envied that pen, because he decided the colors of my painting."
"But by comparison, I still prefer being the hand holding the pen. Because I have many things I want to draw, but I don't have that many colors to draw for others."
Chen Nuo listened very carefully.
He knew that he would never become someone like Jiang Wen or Takeshi Kitano, who could be both a pen and a hand.
In this life, he could only be a pen, it's just that his colors might be richer than others.
Taking this opportunity, he also asked Zhang Yiyi's question, and he didn't just ask Takeshi Kitano, but all the directors present.
After asking, he turned on the recording function of his mobile phone, preparing to send it to Zhang Yiyi to listen to later.
Li Cangdong's answer was: "Sorry, I am still climbing the mountain, I haven't seen what the top of the mountain looks like, so I can't understand your friend's mood."
Bong Joon-ho's answer was: "I just reached a top of a mountain, but I found that I still have strength in my whole body, and the higher the mountain in front, the faster I will climb."
Zhang Yimou's answer was: "Through constant searching for direction, I hope that one day I can return to the top of the mountain. I think, since I climbed up once, I can definitely climb up a second time. Although I haven't found where the correct path is yet."
Chen Kaige laughed for a while and said some things that were in the clouds, and Chen Nuo didn't understand either.
Wang Jiawei said: "What top of the mountain, foot of the mountain, I walk slowly, I have always walked on flat ground. There are only a few mountains in Hong Kong, I only know that I can't afford a house on the top of the mountain, haha."
Ang Lee said jokingly: "I am still on the top of the mountain and haven't come down yet. When I come down, Chen Nuo, you can ask me again."
Takeshi Kitano said seriously: "I have been looking for the answer, Mr. Chen Nuo, please tell your director friend, what I want to say is all in my new movie, let him go and see it."
Just as Chen Nuo was about to turn off the recording, Jiang Wen spoke: "Nuozi, that friend of yours just thinks too much. Movies are all filmed by ourselves for ourselves to watch, why think so much about such trivial things?"
The morning sun was gentle and clear, passing through the moving car windows, spilling into the carriage in sections. They hit the words of these people, as if plating every word with a layer of golden halo.
Chen Nuo's mobile phone could finally be put away.
After arriving at Chedun, the team instantly expanded several times.
Seven or eight people in charge of the film base came, as well as quite a few leaders.
Including the deputy minister of the propaganda department that Chen Nuo had seen in Xia Yehe's song and dance troupe back then.
He forgot what his surname was, but this time this big shot was mixed in a crowd of people, not prominent at all.
The leaders on the opposite side should have assigned their respective receptionists.
The biggest leaders naturally went to receive foreign guests and the national teacher Jiang Wen and others.
This deputy minister seemed to be unqualified and was arranged beside Chen Nuo, this young small character.
"Little Chen, do you still remember me?" His complexion was much better than two years ago, his face full of smiles, as if he had seen a relative.
Chen Nuo remembered his surname, and also as if he had seen a close relative, holding his hand and saying: "Minister Li, hello, hello, sigh, how could I not remember. If it weren't for you helping me with a favor at that time, I wouldn't have known what to do."
Since it was a meeting of relatives, it was easy to talk.
Deputy Minister Li accompanied the two young people, Chen Nuo and Tang Wei, chatting and laughing all the way, without needing introductions.
Originally, Chen Nuo was very familiar with this place.
Tang Wei didn't even need to be mentioned; *Lust, Caution* was filmed right here!
The three of them dragged behind this long team.
Beside Chen Nuo, Tang Wei was clearly more relaxed, but still listened more and spoke less.
Chen Nuo was the same; he had been waiting for the opportunity Jiang Wen mentioned.
As a result, a large group of people visited the Chedun base in a mighty way, and everywhere they went was a mess, until they left, he didn't wait for any opportunity.
The afternoon was the same.
After all, Li Cangdong, Takeshi Kitano, and Tomokazu Miura were not young anymore, how could they withstand long-term tossing.
In the afternoon, everyone went to rest separately.
In the evening, the sponsor rented a luxury cruise ship, much more generous than the one in Victoria, Hong Kong before.
The weather in March was still a bit chilly, and everyone didn't stay on the deck, but entered the cabin.
Chen Nuo felt he couldn't wait any longer; this big brother Jiang Wen was clearly unreliable, if he waited any longer, he would be sitting and waiting for death.
Relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself.
Seeing Takeshi Kitano and Tomokazu Miura sitting on the sofa in the corner of the cabin whispering, Chen Nuo called the translator and walked over.
"Mr. Kitano, Mr. Miura, is it convenient to chat?"
I don't know what happened, Takeshi Kitano looked very solemn, sat up straight all of a sudden, sat upright, and said expressionlessly: "Chen-kun, please speak."
Tomokazu Miura watched from the side with a strange smile.
Having been kept in suspense by Jiang Wen for a day, Chen Nuo didn't want to play any tricks now, and asked directly: "Mr. Takeshi Kitano, I am preparing a movie, ready to start filming in the second half of this year, and I want to invite you to make a cameo as a Japanese officer in it. I don't know if you are willing?"
After hearing the translation, Takeshi Kitano stared at him with eyes like a hawk, and said: "Chen-kun, what does this movie of yours mainly want to express?"
Chen Nuo thought for a while, and finally decided to tell the truth: "The theme of the movie is to condemn the war launched by your country, condemn fascism, and praise the unyielding and resistance of the Chinese people."
If he had wanted to be more tactful before, but waiting until now, he was irritated by Jiang Wen, and he already had Jeon Do-yeon and Choi Min-sik's friendly cameos, so he let go and said directly what he thought in his heart.
The translator lady who had just arrived today was startled and looked at Chen Nuo in surprise.
She secretly swore in her heart that after going home today, she would definitely delete those previous blogs. This guy Chen Nuo, he might be a bit of a playboy, but he was really fucking too handsome. From this moment on, she turned from black to fan, and would never look back for a lifetime. In the future, she would also be a "Nuo Rice"!
Takeshi Kitano said slowly: "I am also Japanese, don't you think it's too rude for you to say that?"
Chen Nuo said: "If Mr. Kitano thinks I'm wrong, then just pretend I haven't been here. Sorry, goodbye."
Chen Nuo stood up and prepared to leave.
"Chotto matte." Takeshi Kitano said.
Chen Nuo stopped and looked at him quietly.
Takeshi Kitano suddenly laughed, but only half of his face was moving, looking extremely strange.
Chen Nuo felt that this person was truly suitable for playing a Japanese officer, it's just a pity that their paths were different.
Takeshi Kitano said: "Chen-kun, before, Jiang Wen-kun told me that when you came to find me, your answer to my question would be exactly the same as his. At that time, I didn't believe it. Now, I believe it."
Chen Nuo didn't speak for a while.
His mind was a bit confused, and for a moment he still hadn't reacted; did Takeshi Kitano mean that Jiang Wen had already told him?
Tomokazu Miura, who had been silent, smiled and interjected: "Actually, last night, Jiang-kun had already told Director Kitano that you wanted to invite the director to make a cameo in your movie."
"Kitano-kun also asked Jiang-kun the question just now, and Jiang-kun answered the same way."
"Afterwards, Director Kitano and Jiang-kun made a bet. The director thought that you, Chen-kun, in order to invite him, probably wouldn't be as direct as Jiang-kun. If Kitano-kun lost, he would agree to your invitation."
Chen Nuo understood.
Damn it, no wonder Jiang Wen had been avoiding him all day today, so that was it!
He had made such a bet, and didn't even remind him?
Chen Nuo felt a bit of resentment as soon as he heard it.
But then he thought about it, wasn't it quite reasonable for Jiang Wen to do this?
After all, who was Jiang Wen? The number one male actor in China today.
If he, Chen Nuo, couldn't pass this test, then naturally he wasn't worthy of being Jiang Wen's friend, so how would Jiang Wen remind him?
If he could pass this test, then there was no need to remind him.
Because it was naturally a happy ending for everyone.
And it was quite reasonable for Takeshi Kitano to do this; stand-up comedian, betting for fun, wasn't that very normal?
Fortunately, he had made a mistake and hit the mark.
Chen Nuo listened to Tomokazu Miura's words, and many thoughts turned in his heart for a while, and finally couldn't help but reveal a smile, saying: "Since that's the case, then I'll leave it to Director Kitano."
Takeshi Kitano said seriously: "A bet is a bet."
Then he suddenly blinked and said: "Actually, when Jiang Wen told me, I was already prepared to agree. The betting thing was proposed by Miura-kun, do you know why?"
Chen Nuo said blankly: "Why?"
Takeshi Kitano smiled and said: "Because his wife likes the way you turn pages, which made him resent you. And he is originally such a petty guy."
Listening to the young lady's translation, Chen Nuo didn't react at first.
He looked at Tomokazu Miura, who was smiling and still handsome despite his age, with some confusion, when a flash of light suddenly appeared in his mind.
So that's how it was!
When they first met, Tomokazu Miura said that Momoe Yamaguchi liked his movie. He had always thought it was the house in *The Zhang Zhang Yaba*.
Actually, having retired from the screen for so many years, how could she still like watching art films.
Housewives must be looking at handsome guys.
For Japanese housewives, the domestic handsome guy Takeshi Kaneshiro was definitely much more worth looking at than the dark and gloomy *The Zhang Zhang Yaba* on the poster.
Therefore, Momoe Yamaguchi didn't like the mute he played at all; she liked his *Perhaps Love* where he flaunted his sexiness!
Having figured everything out, Chen Nuo was also a petty guy; he laughed and said to Tomokazu Miura: "Mr. Miura, thank you for your wife's love, please convey my greetings to her, and tell her that if there is a chance in the future, I will read books in front of her."
