Chapter 58: Introducing Yang Mi to play Guo Xiang
Chen Nuo was stunned.
Liu Yifei's mother also reacted very quickly and immediately took the conversation: "Definitely no problem. First place in the art exam, so amazing, 100% can get into the Film Academy."
Chen Nuo didn't know why Liu Yifei was like she had eaten gunpowder. He could only guess if it was the rebellious period. By comparison, her mother was beautiful and kind, looking a bit gentle.
So he smiled at Ms. Liu and said: "Thank you, Auntie."
But the atmosphere was still a bit awkward. Zhang Jizhong interrupted: "Since everyone knows each other, then don't delay time. Let's start makeup now."
This was the first time in Chen Nuo's two lives that he had glued on a wig. Qi Yuntian stood by and watched. At first, he kept covering his mouth and giggling, but later he stood behind Chen Nuo, looking at the "Guo'er" in the mirror and clicking his tongue in wonder.
"Chen Nuo, you look better with long hair than short hair. I suggest you change your style later and imitate Brad Pitt; it's especially sexy."
"Heh." Not a single word of Qi Yuntian's could be believed. Just taking that chin, Chen Nuo couldn't catch up to it even if he multiplied by three.
It wasn't just Qi Yuntian; when Chen Nuo walked out of the dressing room with wide sleeves fluttering, Zhang Jizhong was stunned. He had been communicating with the photographer, but suddenly he stopped talking, his eyes fixed on Chen Nuo, not blinking at all.
Chen Nuo walked up to Zhang Jizhong and said: "Director Zhang, I've changed."
Zhang Jizhong came back to his senses and slapped Chen Nuo on the shoulder hard. "Good, very good. Xiao Chen, your costume look is really not bad. Haha, sure enough, it's a blessing in disguise. Where is Liu Yifei? Someone, go tell Liu Yifei and them to hurry up. What's the fuss? Chen Nuo has finished gluing his hair and come out, and she's still dawdling with her makeup for so long."
Chen Nuo advised: "It's okay, Director Zhang, I'm not in a hurry. Girls, after all, should be slower."
Zhang Jizhong sighed and said: "Yifei's appearance is really good; she is the look of Little Dragon Maiden. But her personality is a bit introverted, and she is too young. Sometimes she speaks without thinking. Don't take it to heart."
Chen Nuo could only smile.
Zhang Jizhong added: "By the way, this is your first time filming a costume drama. Before officially starting, we will have special etiquette teachers and martial arts teachers to give you special training, teaching you the etiquette of our play and some martial arts movements we discussed. With your comprehension, learning for a few days will definitely be no problem."
The two communicated for a while about the key points of filming costume dramas. Zhang Jizhong is worthy of being a martial arts drama expert. After chatting for twenty minutes, Chen Nuo felt he had benefited a lot.
Then a middle-aged man came over and talked to Zhang Jizhong for a while.
After the man left, Zhang Jizhong sighed at Chen Nuo and said: "Look, such a big crew, there's not a single day where I can relax. There's always something wrong here or there. Just after deciding on you as Yang Guo, the one playing Guo Xiang said she had already joined another crew and couldn't come. I really..."
It had nothing to do with him, so Chen Nuo laughed and didn't answer.
Zhang Jizhong shook his head helplessly and asked casually: "Do you know any girls who are a bit quirky, have acted before, and can endure hardship?"
Hearing Director Zhang say this, Chen Nuo's mind immediately flashed with the little face of his singing friend.
As a result, he hesitated, and Zhang Beard saw it immediately.
Originally, according to Director Zhang's personality, let alone Guo Xiang, even Guo Fu, it was all clearly priced.
However, at this time, firstly, seeing the new Yang Guo, he exceeded expectations and was in a good mood; secondly, he was really in a hurry.
So he didn't care about this little bit of mosquito leg anymore and laughed: "Why? You really know someone?"
Chen Nuo smiled: "I do know one."
Zhang Jizhong said: "Then why don't you ask? If she is willing, let her come and try acting as soon as possible. It really can't be dragged any longer."
"Okay. Then I'll make a call." "Good."
Chen Nuo walked to the side and called Yang Mi.
Listening to the voice, it seemed she was shopping. There was some noise in the receiver, but upon receiving Chen Nuo's call, Yang Mi was both surprised and happy. As soon as she picked it up, she screamed loudly: "Chen Nuo! You actually still remember me!"
Then she seemed to be saying to the friends shopping with her: "Wow, do you know who is looking for me? Berlin Film Festival Best Actor, 18-year-old Best Actor, future—no, current superstar, Beijing Film Academy professional exam first place, my cohabiting male bestie, the singing god second only to me, Chen Nuo!"
The people next to her were also very supportive, screaming together. After a lot of excitement, Yang Mi said with an excited tone: "Tell me, brother, what's the matter? Need a massage? I have two good sisters with me to serve you together. You just pay for the air ticket."
Chen Nuo smiled: "I'm in Jingcheng. Why don't you come over now?"
Yang Mi let out an "ah" and said in surprise: "When did you come back? Okay, where are you? I'll bring my sisters over now."
Chen Nuo said: "I have something to do, so I won't chat with you. Hmm, do you know Director Zhang Jizhong? He's a director, recently there's a play..."
"The Return of the Condor Heroes!" Yang Mi interrupted him directly and said: "Brother, stop talking. I know the director, and I know the play. My agent even submitted my information to their crew, and there wasn't even a reply... Brother, really, the first time I saw you, I thought you were very handsome and charming, so if you have anything to say, just say it directly."
Chen Nuo said: "Since you know, that's simple. They have a role open, and the director asked me to recommend someone. The role isn't big, and maybe the pay won't be much. Are you interested?"
Yang Mi's voice trembled: "Brother, which role is open?"
Chen Nuo said: "Guo Xiang."
"GUO XIANG!!!" Yang Mi burst into a scream instantly, making Chen Nuo quickly move the phone away.
"I'm going to play Guo Xiang, sisters!! Zhang Jizhong's *The Return of the Condor Heroes*, I'm playing Guo Xiang! I'm going crazy! Brother Nuo, Brother Nuo, are you still there?"
Chen Nuo put the phone back to his ear: "I'm here, keep your voice down."
Yang Mi said incoherently: "I can't control myself. Brother, I'm interested, I'm very interested, I'm especially interested. Do I need to come over now? Do I need to prepare anything? I can do anything. I'll call my agent immediately. At most half an hour, I'll be in front of you immediately. You just need to tell me an address."
Chen Nuo looked at Zhang Jizhong and saw that he was still communicating with the photographer, so he said: "Forget it today, tomorrow morning. I'll help you make an appointment with the director later. I'll send you the address and specific time then."
"Okay, no problem. I'm on standby at any time. Brother, how do you know Director Zhang Jizhong? Why would he let you recommend? Have you reached that level now? But you still didn't forget to promote your little sister. I'm really moved. Brother, do you lack a girlfriend? I have a friend..." Yang Mi asked excitedly.
"Alright, alright, that's it. I have something to do, hanging up first."
"Okay, goodbye, brother."
After hanging up, Chen Nuo couldn't help but find it funny. Yang Mi, this girl, was undoubtedly the most quirky one he had ever seen. Her appearance should be no problem, and she mostly met Zhang Jizhong's requirements.
It seems *The Return of the Condor Heroes* really has a great reputation. Yang Mi is actually so excited?
It's just that when this show was broadcast in Xichuan, I don't know which TV station played it.
In short, he failed the Gaokao at that time and entered Chen Bi's company to help. He worked during the day and picked up girls at night. He didn't have time to watch TV at all, and he hadn't even watched a single episode.
Now thinking about it, I regret it. Damn, if I had known about this rebirth, I would have picked fewer girls and watched more TV.
After helping Yang Mi and Zhang Jizhong make an appointment for 10 o'clock the next morning, Chen Nuo sent the address and time to Yang Mi. Before he could take a closer look at the flattering text message Yang Mi sent back, Liu Yifei finally finished her makeup and came out.
