Aside from the film set and the hotel, he couldn't go anywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chen Kexin was very happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a commercial director by nature; compared to the tactics over in Hong Kong, the hype here in the mainland was still in its primary stage for him. For example, while filming *Perhaps Love* this time, he took a small bit-part actor and put him up for auction online, saying that all Chinese people worldwide could participate, with the highest bidder winning, and the proceeds would be donated to a charity foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he felt as if a windfall had fallen from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when they were choosing the role of Monty across the mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, it took a long time and cost a lot of money, yet in the end, they chose such an obscure young actor. Initially, there was quite a bit of grumbling within the crew, feeling that this young man wasn't as suitable as so-and-so from the land of the sticks, and that his status didn't match up with Jin Chengwu or Zhang Xue. However, by now, all those people had shut their mouths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Liu Zong, who had been under great pressure at the time, now walked around with the air of a talent scout, saying at every turn: \"When we were auditioning, as soon as I saw that turn of Nuo-zai's head, I knew this young man had spirit and potential, and that he was someone worth using. He's a newcomer, after all; if we don't give them opportunities, how are they supposed to get ahead? But I didn't expect Nuo-zai to receive international recognition so quickly, haha, hahahaha... It seems those foreign judges have some discernment after all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these circumstances, Chen Kexin adopted an attitude of turning a blind eye to the reporters who hounded Chen Nuo every day. As long as it didn't affect his filming, if they wanted to catch Chen Nuo, let them catch him; in any case, when they published their reports, they would always mention his movie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo filmed in Shanghai for a total of five days, and in the middle of that, he celebrated his 19th birthday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day, Chen Bi and Pan Chengrong both called him, and Chen Kexin also arranged a birthday cake on set, organizing everyone to sing \"Happy Birthday\" together, creating a very warm atmosphere. That night, when Chen Nuo returned to the hotel and opened the door, he saw Xia Yehe, who was wearing nothing but a pink ribbon and had dressed herself up as a birthday gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yehe said that after Chen Nuo and the others left, her stepmother was like a completely different person, fussing over her all day long, and the various issues they had been arguing about before were suddenly never mentioned again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yehe left the next day; she still had to return to her hometown. When she left, her posture was slightly uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo finished his reshoots on the third day after she left. When he was leaving, Chen Kexin gave Qi Yuntian a bank card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes after getting the card, the two of them, who had never seen the world, couldn't help but find a bank to check it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yuntian counted the zeros on the screen with his finger like a simpleton, then looked solemn, as if there weren't 200,000 inside, but 200,000 bombs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This won't do. Don't go back to Xichuan this time; come with me to Jingcheng. First, get the studio set up. This money needs to be accounted for properly, and taxes must be paid. We absolutely cannot be unscrupulous artists who evade taxes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, in order not to be blacklisted, Chen Nuo had no choice but to temporarily change his plans and board a plane to Jingcheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On March 7, 2005, the day before International Women's Day, Wang Jinghua, the top agent in the mainland, led dozens of her big-name artists to leave Huayi collectively and jump ship to Cheng Tian, shaking the entire mainland entertainment industry. It was also on this day that a makeshift outfit called Chen Nuo Performing Arts Studio hung its sign in an office building near the Film Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the former, which involved nearly half the entertainment industry in a grand spectacle, only eight people participated in the latter's hanging ceremony: Zhang Yi, Li Xiaotian, Qi Yuntian, Li Er, Qi Yifei, Chen Bi and Pan Chengrong who had come specially from Xichuan, and Chen Nuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi, that guy, finally deigned to return from Germany. Not only did he return, but he also brought back Chen Nuo's Silver Bear trophy. And this became the first trophy displayed in Chen Nuo's studio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi and Li Xiaotian stayed for an hour before leaving. They were very busy now; interviews and meetings of all kinds never stopped. Moreover, just as Chen Kexin had said, *The Mute* actually had a possibility of being released domestically, and for this reason, Zhang Yi had to make significant cuts. Zhang Yi said that being able to release it at all was already an unexpected joy, so he would cut what he had to. So, with several things happening at once, he was truly so busy he couldn't touch the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If this film really gets released domestically, you'll really have to learn from those stars and wear a mask on the street.\" After Zhang Yi and the others left, Qi Yuntian and Chen Nuo's two families were left chatting in the office. Qi Yuntian and Chen Nuo were both only children, and their only sons were finally growing up and starting their own businesses. Li Er and Qi Yifei had specifically swapped shifts with others to free up a day, and Chen Bi went without saying; Chen Bi had put in a great deal of effort running around to get this studio open in just a few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who said this was Qi Yuntian, wearing a mischievous grin, \"Get used to it quickly, otherwise if you're spotted while out on a date, that'll be a scandal~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Pan Chengrong heard this, she perked up, turned her head, and shouted: \"Chen Nuo! Are you dating again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo glared at Qi Yun and said: \"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yuntian held back his laughter and explained: \"Auntie, I'm just joking. Chen Nuo is very honest; it's just that his conditions are too good and his standards are too high, so it might be hard for him to find a girlfriend in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan Chengrong said very modestly: \"Chen Nuo's conditions can actually only be considered average. Our family is only doing okay in that countryside in Xichuan; in Jingcheng, it really doesn't count for anything. As long as the girl has good character and can manage a household, his father and I actually have no objections.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Er said: \"Chen Nuo is still young. I think dating is a bit too early, and it won't do his future development any good. However, I also don't approve of him doing what some stars in the industry do—hiding their marriages or relationships. If he really meets someone he likes in the future, he might as well admit it openly; there's nothing wrong with that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan Chengrong nodded and said: \"Teacher Li is right, that's what we think too. If he has to hide it even when he gets married and has children in the future, that would be living too tiredly; there's no need. Acting in movies—if someone asks him to act, he goes; if no one asks, he comes back and learns to do business with his father. It doesn't matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bi coughed and said: \"Since he has chosen this path, he must walk it well and not be half-hearted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan Chengrong shot him a sideways glance and said softly: \"I'm just saying, what if he dates, gets married, and has children in the future, and no one asks him to act in movies? It's just a 'what if,' can't you understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bi said: \"How could I not understand? I was just saying it casually. By the way, Teacher Li, I'm very grateful for your careful guidance that allowed Chen Nuo to rank first in his professional grades this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Er said: \"This matter was actually all thanks to Chen Nuo himself; I didn't do much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they were chatting, Qi Yuntian's phone suddenly rang. After he walked out to answer it and came back, just as he was about to say something, the phone rang again, and he went out once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning this time, Qi Yifei smiled and said: \"The studio just opened today, and there are already calls. I've said it before, everything must be done properly. You have to be steady, rock-steady, to be able to grow big and strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Er rolled her eyes at him and asked Qi Yuntian: \"Who called?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yuntian sighed and said: \"I've only been back for a few days, and I might have to go to Shanghai again. It was a call from Director Chen Kexin, saying there's a Hong Kong director named Wang Jiawei who wants to meet with Chen Nuo. It was a bit noisy on the phone, and Director Chen didn't say much, just told us to go over as soon as possible. Recently, there have been a lot of these small directors coming to our door, but I can't refuse Director Chen's face. Come to think of it, this studio was built on the foundation he provided, so I had to agree.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wang Jiawei?\" Li Er muttered, \"This name... hmm, and there was another call? Who was that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I turned that one down.\" Qi Yuntian nodded at Chen Nuo, \"They said they wanted you to play some character named Yang Guo, and they're starting filming in the first half of the year. I knew without thinking that you wouldn't be interested.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo nodded and said: \"Of course, the college entrance exam is the priority. Then we'll go to Shanghai tomorrow, and then I'll return to Xichuan. Let's go, let's go eat first...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, wait. Chen Nuo, wait a moment.\" Li Er held her forehead, looking a bit pained, \"The pace you two are setting is a bit fast; let me catch my breath first. First of all, Xiao Tian, I'm asking you, is what Director Chen said Wang Jiawei or Wang Jiawei?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1766,"2026-06-21T01:34:38.888Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","6d9d5cc17532fd0622d00678d65207e7c71b2b2228bf6cc3c32d3cca1c83c63b","reborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--chapter-55","reborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--chapter-53",491,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--cover.jpg"]
