That Zhang Yiyi's film was able to be shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival is Zhang Yiyi's own ability, and it is the result of our Film Academy's education. What does it have to do with him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Er said, \"It has everything to do with it. I have watched some clips, and I think this boy has exceptional talent. His performance in it is no worse than when Xia Yu won his award back then. Because of some inexplicable reasons, he was kept outside our Film Academy's doors, and I firmly disagree with that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhaohong sneered, \"Compare him to Xia Yu? Professor Li, you are exaggerating. If I remember correctly, the awards ceremony is tonight. If he really could compare to Xia Yu, then he should be able to win Best Actor, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he said this, the people in the conference room all laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At 35, Ge You won the Cannes Best Actor award in 1992 for \"To Live,\" and 17-year-old Xia Yu triumphed at Venice in 1994 for \"In the Heat of the Sun.\" Both Best Actors have been the pride of Chinese cinema to this day, because eleven years have passed, and apart from those two, no other mainland male actor has been able to win such honors at the three major European film festivals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, most importantly, neither of them conquered Berlin. For mainland Chinese male actors, the Berlin Film Festival is currently still a blank, virgin territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Zhang Yiyi's \"The Mute's House\" and Gu Changwei's \"Peacock\" were the two mainland films simultaneously shortlisted for the main competition section of the Berlin Film Festival, and everyone at the Film Academy was exceptionally excited to hear this news, almost no one knew the details regarding the content of this film. Occasionally, a few rumors leaked out from the mouths of those who were on Zhang Yiyi's original crew, all of them strange and quite absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, happy as they were, from the leadership down to the students, almost no one was optimistic about them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is said the total investment was less than 500,000, and it was shot in just over a month. For such a film to be shortlisted is already impressive; they still want to win an award?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't just Zheng Zhongjian who thought this way; Li Er thought so too. Although she was optimistic about Chen Nuo's performance in \"The Mute's House,\" she still didn't dare to dream this dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An 18-year-old Berlin Best Actor... he didn't even go to the venue himself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless one is a lunatic, who would dare to dream such a dream? Who would dare to think it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deputy Director Liu is really at odds with Professor Li today. Everyone in the conference room was secretly muttering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stared wide-eyed, scanning back and forth between the faces of Liu Zhaohong and Li Er. They didn't know what kind of conflict had arisen between these two big shots. It felt like Deputy Director Liu was trying to pull Professor Li off her pedestal today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Er was also pondering in her heart at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, who exactly is Liu Zhaohong targeting?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it Chen Nuo, or herself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it is herself, then who exactly wants to mess with her? It couldn't possibly be Liu Zhaohong, so that means...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open by a male teacher in his 30s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had an expression of disbelief, his gaze landing directly on Zheng Zhongjian, and after swallowing hard, he said, \"Dean Zheng, the results from Berlin are out. Zhang Yiyi, Zhang Yiyi and his team won an award.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice was not loud, but it echoed in the hall, causing everyone to fall silent all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned their heads to look at this male teacher, and for a moment, no one moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zhongjian had been sitting in his seat the whole time; no matter what Li Er and Liu Zhaohong said, his expression had remained unchanged, as steady as Mount Tai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, he jerked his hips, and the chair beneath him flew far away with a \"clatter\" as he stood up. \"What did you say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That male teacher said again: \"Zhang Yiyi won an award, the Silver Bear for Best Actor. The news just came in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did you see it? Are you sure?\" Zheng Zhongjian still looked like he couldn't believe it. \"It's not just some gossip, is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, it's really not. It's a live report from Sina.com,\" the male teacher said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zhongjian stopped talking and stared blankly at the male teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole room was also silent, everyone's eyes flickering, not knowing what they were thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came a \"thud.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the sound of Li Er sitting back down in her chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman was not light, and she sat down too fiercely and too quickly, losing her balance a bit, which made the chair wobble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned to look at her, their brains slowly turning as well. Don't think these teachers were slow to react; it was just that the information was suddenly so much and so chaotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, Deputy Director Liu said a student named Chen Nuo had a problem with his ideology and his exam results should be canceled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Professor Li said that the lead actor of Zhang Yiyi's film was Chen Nuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, there was a piece of news saying that Zhang Yiyi's film won the Silver Bear for Best Actor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Best Actor—Chen Nuo is a male, and he was the lead in Zhang Yiyi's film. In other words, this examinee named Chen Nuo won the Berlin Film Festival Silver Bear for Best Actor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the expressions of everyone in the conference room, Li Er smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Nuo? Professor Li, is Zhang Yiyi's film really starring Chen Nuo?\" Zhang Tianyou realized what was happening and hurriedly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, except for Li Er, almost no one in the conference room was sitting; everyone had stood up, looking at Li Er with burning eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Er took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes, saying \"Mm\" in her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zhongjian picked up the name list in his hand with a solemn expression, put on his reading glasses, stared at it seriously for three seconds, then looked up and asked, \"Did Sina.com not say what the lead actor's name is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male teacher shook his head and said, \"No, it was a text news flash. It only had the award won, nothing else. But the name must have been announced at the awards ceremony. It's just that Sina might have seen an unfamiliar name and didn't dare to translate it randomly. I estimate that after a while, once it's confirmed, the name will be there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zhongjian nodded thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhaohong forced a smile and said, \"Dean Zheng, it might not be Chen Nuo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zhongjian glanced at him and said, \"Deputy Director Liu, you are absolutely right. This matter cannot be 100% confirmed yet, and it is just the word of one internet media outlet, Sina; it hasn't been certified by authoritative media. Hmm, how about this... Professor Li, you should have Chen Nuo's phone number, right? Can you make a call to him? See if he has any news. By the way, let everyone listen and see if this student is as arrogant and rude as Deputy Director Liu says.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Er took out her phone, turned on the speaker, dialed Chen Nuo, and placed the phone on the table in front of Zheng Zhongjian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beep, beep, beep...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't ring twice before the call was answered. The background was very quiet, and a very pleasant male voice said, \"Teacher Li, good evening. Is there something the matter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contrary to what was said before, Zheng Zhongjian grabbed the phone and smiled, \"Is this student Chen Nuo? I am the Vice Dean of the Film Academy, my surname is Zheng. Professor Li is right next to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Ah, Dean Zheng, hello, hello. I am Chen Nuo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zhongjian said loudly, \"Student Chen Nuo, congratulations! We just received news that you have taken the crown of Best Actor at the 55th Berlin Film Festival! You are the first male actor from our mainland to win the Berlin Best Actor award. On behalf of the Film Academy, I express my congratulations to you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah... really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it is quite a coincidence. When the news arrived, we were just holding a meeting to review this year's admission list, and your professional score, student Chen Nuo, happens to be ranked first!\" Zheng Zhongjian let out a hearty laugh. \"This is your fate with our Film Academy, and it is also our Film Academy's fate with Berlin. After being admitted to our Film Academy, you have won the crown of Berlin Best Actor. This is your glorious moment, and it is also a glorious moment for our Film Academy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah! Have I been admitted? Thank you, Dean Zheng, thank you, teachers!\" The boy seemed even more excited than he was about winning the Berlin Best Actor award.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zhongjian narrowed his eyes, revealing a satisfied expression, and said, \"No need to thank me. Our Film Academy only looks at hard strength, nothing else. You have these results because of your own ability. By the way, many teachers from our Film Academy are here; would you like to say a few words to them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need. I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, alright then, we will see you at school later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up the phone, Zheng Zhongjian sat back in his seat, coughed lightly, and said, \"I have three things to say. First, no one is allowed to spread what happened in this conference room tonight to the outside world. Anyone who violates this, no matter who they are, will be severely punished.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Tianyou nodded and said, \"Dean Zheng, you can rest assured.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zhongjian continued, \"Second, the fact that Chen Nuo is ranked first in the national professional scores was determined by his initial scores; it was not decided by us arbitrarily, and it is absolutely not because we decided it after he won the Berlin Best Actor award. Before the news of him winning the Berlin Best Actor award arrived, he was already our top-ranked professional examinee and had already become a member of our Film Academy. This chronological order must not be wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After everyone nodded one after another, Zheng Zhongjian said again, \"Third point, Deputy Director Liu, you will personally take people to the Jingcheng Television Station tomorrow. We absolutely do not allow anyone to deliberately smear the Film Academy! I just had contact with this child Chen Nuo, and I dare say I have a very deep understanding of him. It is absolutely impossible for him to say such things. Therefore, this news was deliberately edited into this state by some people with ulterior motives. You go and negotiate with them properly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1862,"2026-06-21T01:34:38.888Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","bec75d5233a8a3e4970061e4f611cef1d74b2cf4409ac37e8953fa533e2a1dcd","reborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--chapter-47","reborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--chapter-45",491,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--cover.jpg"]
