Chen Bi accompanied him to the airport. Pan Chengrong had strong objections to Chen Nuo leaving again after being home for less than a week, and she was no longer as interested in the matter of being the mother of a star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bi did not say much about this, but he demanded that once Chen Nuo had a bit of fame, he should hold himself to stricter standards: \"Don't go around acting foolishly like you did before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo retorted, \"You shouldn't act like you did before either, getting ripped off like a pig the moment you sign up for a training course.\" This angered Chen Bi so much he nearly told him to take a taxi himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo and Qi Yuntian met after landing at the Shanghai airport. Upon seeing him, Chen Nuo was too shocked to speak; the colorful international beauty was gone, replaced by a quasi-normal man with black hair, eyeshadow, a delicate hand gesture, and pink fingernails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You!?\" Chen Nuo pointed at his fingernails, too surprised to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yuntian walked over, tossed his head sharply in front of him, swept his fingers through his hair, and struck a pose of looking back at the moon: \"Don't be too disappointed. Although I am no longer so dazzlingly radiant, my essence of beauty will never change~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened to you? Are you trying to go straight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pah, you're the one going straight~ I'm doing this for the image of our studio.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Studio?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right. I've decided to establish a studio.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren't you going to ask what it's called?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's it called?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Nuo Film Studio.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"……Did you decide to establish it, or did I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yuntian laughed, \"You did. Do you know why you decided to do this? Because your commercial value will only get higher in the future, and your fame will likely grow as well. You can't just keep cutting corners... right? Plus, there will definitely be many scripts coming our way later; if we rely only on you and me to read them, can we keep up? So, establishing a studio is, in my dad's words, the only way if we want to grow big and strong. Of course, we have another option: to find a large talent agency to join, but in that case, many things might not be as free. You said it yourself: for the next few years, your studies come first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo thought for a moment and nodded: \"Alright, I'll register it when I go back to Jingcheng for school. You still hold a twenty percent stake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yuntian smiled brightly: \"I knew you wouldn't leave your sister behind. Don't worry, when you go to school, I will definitely manage the studio well for you. By the way, speaking of college, my mom asked me to tell you that you must review your academic subjects well. Don't end up scoring only 200-something points; that would truly make national headlines. The title would be: 'Berlin Film Festival Best Actor is actually a poor student, Gaokao score of only 200 exceeds human imagination!'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bullshit! Don't look down on people! 200 points? Absolutely impossible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two left the airport and got into a taxi. Qi Yuntian saw Chen Nuo actually pull a high school math exercise book out of his bag and start reading it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yuntian exclaimed: \"No way, are you for real?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo rolled his eyes at him. When it came to studying, he never faked it. This time, not only did he bring math and English exercises, but he also brought mock exam papers for politics, history, and geography.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Er had told him before that while the Beijing Film Academy's requirements for academic scores were low, they weren't non-existent. He needed to work hard and strive for around 400 points to be safe. Thus, Chen Nuo had set a goal for himself: 80 in Chinese, 80 in English, 60 in math, and 180 in the liberal arts composite. Not a point more or less, exactly 400. Looking at this grand goal he had set, Chen Nuo's gaze was firm, and his heart was filled with ambition. As the saying goes, with high aspirations and a difficult task, one must persevere and bravely climb the peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you might as well look at this.\" Qi Yuntian tossed a magazine over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo picked it up and saw it was a magazine titled *Mass Cinema*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cover was black and white, featuring a long-haired man in a suit and tie, looking quite dapper as he sat in a chair—it was Zhang Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hair had never been seen so neatly combed, draped over his shoulders like Chen Kexin's. He wore a shoe on only one foot, while the other foot wore a red sock. The foot with the shoe was on the ground, the other rested casually on the chair seat, and his expression was extremely relaxed, carrying a faint smile as he faced the camera at a 45-degree angle. A beam of light shone from above, perfectly framing his face in a halo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cover featured a large headline: *The Dawn of Chinese Art-House Cinema*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pretty impressive, right?\" Qi Yuntian said from the side. \"It just came out today, the latest issue. I bought it before getting on the plane. A cover feature in a national-level film magazine, with everything from the headline to the content being positive coverage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo opened the magazine and saw that Zhang Yi's interview and photos took up a full six or seven pages. There were photos of him grinning, photos of him doing a split jump while holding the Silver Bear trophy, and photos of him with his arms around Li Xiaotian. Judging by the background, the photos were all taken in Germany.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was one thing for Zhang Yi to be thick-skinned, but didn't the photographer know that the award was given to the actor? Why was he, a director, kissing the trophy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This guy Zhang Yi is really tight-lipped,\" Chen Nuo couldn't help but say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days ago, Zhang Yi had called Chen Nuo, spending the whole call saying that the film was selling well, that the rights had been sold to many countries, that the costs were recouped, and that he had made a tidy profit, preparing to give Chen Nuo another red envelope when he returned. He hadn't mentioned a word about the interview.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yuntian said: \"I guess the magazine brought people over to interview him the day he won the award, but no one knew if the interview would actually be published, so he didn't dare say anything. As it turns out, it was published. I suppose it's because our country has rarely won major international awards in recent years. Now that the wind from above has blown in a clear direction, those below know what to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo glanced at him and said: \"You, a returnee ABC, are quite knowledgeable about the national situation now? Did your dad teach you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yuntian sneered, unzipped his backpack, and flipped it toward Chen Nuo: \"Look, you think you're the only one studying?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo took a look. *Brand Management and Communication*, *Public Relations Media and Management*, *Artist Management: From Beginner to Master*, *Entertainment Law Handbook*, *Artist Management and Packaging*—books of varying thickness filled half the bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My shoulders are red from carrying this pile of stuff on and off the plane, you know?\" Qi Yuntian said triumphantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are they so new? The book covers are still on; you haven't even flipped through them, have you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yuntian's expression froze. \"No way! You're crazy, I'm not showing you anymore.\" With that, he put the bag away, huffed, turned to face the window, and sat there sulking in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo couldn't help but find it amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was certain that Qi Yuntian had deliberately bought this half-bag of books just to show off in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, objectively speaking, Qi Yuntian had indeed been working very hard lately. If nothing else, just seeing him willing to dye his hair black and repaint his beloved colorful nails back to pink, Chen Nuo knew that he loved his job as an agent and was truly trying to do it well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1394,"2026-06-21T01:34:38.888Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","89671e496e1ce11e79e5c4646eaf06daf262281d7293aebe255973f82d222c71","reborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--chapter-50","reborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--chapter-48",491,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--cover.jpg"]
