First place in the arts exam, so impressive, you’ll 100% get into the film academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo didn't know why Liu Yifei was acting like she’d eaten gunpowder; he could only guess if it was her rebellious phase. By comparison, her mother was beautiful and kind-hearted, and looked quite amiable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he smiled at Ms. Liu and said, \"Thank you, ma'am.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the atmosphere was still a bit awkward, so Zhang Jizhong interjected, \"Since everyone has met, there’s no time like the present. Let’s not delay; let’s start the makeup now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time in his two lifetimes that Chen Nuo had to glue on a wig. Qi Yuntian stood by watching; at first, he kept covering his mouth to stifle a laugh, but later he stood behind Chen Nuo and clicked his tongue in wonder at the Guo Er in the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh.\" You couldn't believe a single word Qi Yun said. Just take that chin of his, for instance—Chen Nuo couldn't even catch up to it in three lifetimes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't just Qi Yuntian; when Chen Nuo walked out of the dressing room with his wide sleeves fluttering, Zhang Jizhong was completely stunned. He had been communicating with the photographer, but he suddenly stopped talking, his eyes fixed on Chen Nuo, not even blinking once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo walked up to Zhang Jizhong and said, \"Director Zhang, I'm ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jizhong snapped out of it and slapped Chen Nuo on the shoulder hard, \"Good, very good! Little Chen, your period costume look is really quite excellent. Haha, truly, who is to say that a loss is not a gain? Where is Liu Yifei? Someone, go tell Liu Yifei and the others to hurry up. What are they doing? Chen Nuo has already finished gluing his hair and come out, yet she’s still dawdling over her makeup for so long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo advised, \"It's fine, Director Zhang. I'm not in a hurry. Girls, you know, they naturally take a bit longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jizhong sighed and said, \"Yifei’s appearance is truly excellent; she has the look of Little Dragon Maiden, but her personality is a bit introverted. She’s too young, and sometimes she speaks without thinking. Don't take offense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo could only smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jizhong said again, \"By the way, this is your first time filming a period drama. Before we officially start, we will have special etiquette teachers and martial arts instructors give you intensive training to teach you the etiquette for this show and some martial arts moves we’ve worked out. With your aptitude, learning for a few days will definitely be no problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two exchanged points about filming period dramas for a while. Zhang Jizhong was indeed an expert in martial arts dramas; after just twenty minutes of chatting, Chen Nuo felt he had benefited greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a middle-aged man came over and spoke with Zhang Jizhong for a while on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the man left, Zhang Jizhong sighed at Chen Nuo and said, \"Look, in such a big production, there’s never a day to catch a breath. All day long, it’s either this problem or that problem. I just finalized you as Yang Guo, and now the one playing Guo Xiang says she’s already joined another production and can’t come. I really, damn it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it had nothing to do with him, Chen Nuo just chuckled and didn't respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jizhong shook his head helplessly and asked casually, \"Do you know any girls who have a quirky personality, have acted before, and can endure hardship?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Director Zhang say this, Chen Nuo’s little friend immediately appeared in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the moment he hesitated, \"Bearded Zhang\" immediately noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, according to Director Zhang’s personality, let alone Guo Xiang, even for Guo Fu, everything was clearly priced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this moment, firstly, having seen the new version of Yang Guo, he was a bit beyond expectations and in a good mood; secondly, he was indeed in a rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he didn't bother with such trifles and said with a smile, \"What? You really know someone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo smiled, \"I do know one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jizhong said, \"Then why don't you ask? If she’s willing, have her come to audition as soon as possible. We really can't drag this out any longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. Then I'll go make a call.\" \"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo walked to the side and called Yang Mi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the sound, she seemed to be out shopping; it was a bit noisy in the receiver, but upon receiving Chen Nuo’s call, Yang Mi was both surprised and delighted. As soon as she picked up, she screamed loudly, \"Chen Nuo! You actually still remember me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, she seemed to be saying to the friends she was shopping with, \"Wow, do you guys know who is looking for me? The Berlin Film Festival Best Actor, the 18-year-old film emperor, the future—no, the current—superstar, the top scorer in the Beijing Film Academy professional exam, my live-in male bestie, the singer second only to me, Chen Nuo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people next to her were quite supportive and started shrieking along with her. After quite a commotion, Yang Mi said with an excited tone, \"Speak, brother, what’s up? Do you need a massage? I’ll bring two good sisters to serve you together. You just need to pay for the airfare.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo smiled, \"I’m in Jingcheng right now, why don't you come over?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mi let out an \"Ah\" and said in surprise, \"When did you get back? Okay, where are you? I’ll bring my sisters over right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo said, \"I have other things to do, so I won't chat with you. Um, do you know Zhang Jizhong? He’s a director, he has a show recently...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Return of the Condor Heroes!\" Yang Mi interrupted him directly and said, \"Brother, don't say anymore. I know the director, and I know the show. My manager even submitted my profile to their production team, but we didn't even get a reply... Brother, seriously, the first time I saw you, I thought you were super handsome and charming, so just say whatever you have to say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo said, \"Since you know, that makes it simple. They have a role open, and the director asked me to recommend someone. The role isn't big, and the pay probably won't be much. Are you interested?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mi’s voice trembled, \"Brother, which role is open?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo said, \"Guo Xiang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guo Xiang!!!\" Yang Mi burst into a scream, making Chen Nuo quickly hold the phone a bit further away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo put the phone back to his ear, \"I’m here, keep your voice down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mi said incoherently, \"I can't control myself. Brother, I’m interested, I’m very interested, I’m especially interested. Do you need me to come over now? Do I need to prepare anything? I can do anything. I’ll call my manager immediately. At most half an hour, I’ll be in front of you. You just need to give me an address.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo looked at Zhang Jizhong and, seeing he was still communicating with the photographer, said, \"Forget about today, let’s do tomorrow morning. I’ll help you arrange it with the director later, and then I’ll send you the address and the specific time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, okay, no problem. I’m on standby anytime. Brother, how do you know Director Zhang Jizhong? Why did he let you recommend someone? Have you reached that level already? But you still didn't forget to help your little sister; I’m really so touched. Brother, do you need a girlfriend? I have a friend...\" Yang Mi asked excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright, that’s it. I have things to do, hanging up first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, goodbye, brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up, Chen Nuo couldn't help but find it a bit funny. This girl, Yang Mi, was undoubtedly the most quirky person he had ever met, and her appearance should be no problem; she would likely meet Zhang Jizhong’s requirements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems *The Return of the Condor Heroes* really had quite a reputation; why was Yang Mi so excited?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that when this show was originally broadcast in Xichuan, he didn't know which channel it was on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, he had failed his college entrance exam at the time and had gone to help out at Chen Bi’s company, working during the day and chasing girls at night; he had no time to watch TV at all, and hadn't even seen a single episode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it now, he felt quite regretful. Damn it, if he had known about this rebirth thing, he would have chased fewer girls and watched more TV back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arranging the time for 10:00 AM the next day for Yang Mi and Zhang Jizhong, Chen Nuo sent the address and time to Yang Mi. Before he could even look closely at the sycophantic text message Yang Mi sent back, Liu Yifei finally finished her makeup and came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1573,"2026-06-21T01:34:38.888Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a52e3d30e68600185836b37b2ba2fc9955bae1c672f490d17b3133cfde158e85","reborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--chapter-59","reborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--chapter-57",491,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--cover.jpg"]
