Huayu: I'm reborn, but you still force me to be a scumbag?

Chapter 361 I Hope They Say Thank You to Me

Dilireba looked at the contract in front of her, her nose felt sore and she almost cried.

But she has been practicing dance since she was a child, and enduring pain is commonplace for her.

So before the tears were about to fall, she raised her head, preventing the crown and the tears from falling together.

"Manager Tang..."

The beauty was about to cry, and even though Tang Qing had experienced many ups and downs, he couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.

Tang Qing, 33 years old, is a veteran who has been working in the entertainment industry for ten years. In 2003, he started from Huayi Brothers and managed several small-time artists such as Yao Di, Chen Zihan and Wang Luodan, and barely became a familiar face in the circle.

In 2007, amid the controversy surrounding Wang Zonglei's resignation, he jumped to Orange Sky Entertainment and took over singer Ping An and actress Zhang Xinyi.

In 2009, he was affected by the dispute between Wang Jinghua and the senior management of Orange Sky and switched to Light Media, where he began to coach Li Qin and Qiao Zhenyu.

As a result, although Li Qin made some progress, Qiao Zhenyu was unable to make a breakthrough due to uneven resource allocation. Tang Qing had plans but was limited by the company's strategy, and he resigned in early 2010 out of frustration.

Now, he has just joined Huanxin Company and serves as the deputy manager of the artist management department.

Dilraba Dilmurat was the first artist he took over.

If she doesn't sign, he will have no artist to lead.

So my heart softened, and it was really just softened.

"Sign it, sign it. Don't think about it. Just write it down, and everything will be fine soon."

Dilireba made a final resistance, "But..."

"Stop it."

Tang Qing said earnestly, "What other options do you have now? Mr. Cai from Sugarman has already made it clear that he doesn't want you, right? Mr. Wang from Eighteen Entertainment also said that they are not meant to be together. I'm not bragging, if you still don't give up, you can ask any other Orange Sky Entertainment. The phone number is here. Under the current circumstances, who dares to sign you? Only Huayi is left. Do you dare to go? I came from there, and I can tell you responsibly. If you, a newcomer, go in, it's no different from entering a brothel."

"Think clearly."

"I, I..." Eighteen-year-old Dilireba bit her lips, tears welling up in her big eyes.

She just felt that what happened in the past few days had completely overturned her worldview.

The boy who was originally kind and gentle turned out to be a stinky man who would destroy himself if he couldn't get what he wanted.

She really misjudged him!
Obviously, she apologized so sincerely.

I said sorry at least ten times in the text message, and also made my concerns and thoughts very clear.

She said she was very grateful for his kindness, but they were really not suitable for each other. He was a good man, and she would definitely find someone better in the future...but she didn't expect it.

This person is actually like this.

She didn't know what he said to Tangren or Sister Jinghua. She didn't even know how he found her father's phone number or what he said to her father.

Why, now that her father called, not only did she not support her, but she sided with him?
"Sign it, sign it. You've read the contract. Is there any other company in China that would give you such conditions as a newcomer who has nothing? Let me put it this way. The contract you signed now is almost the same as those signed by Zhao Liying, Liu Yifei, and Fan Binbing. Only at Huanxin, only our CEO Chen, CEO Qi, and CEO Li would do such a thing."

"Don't think that letting you study peacefully for two years is harming you. On the contrary, it is helping you."

"You don't understand this kind of thing now, but you will understand it in the future."

"Sign it. Close your eyes and write it down. In ten years you will be free..."

There was a "pop" sound.

Dilireba slammed the pen on the table, raised her head, and looked at Tang Qing stubbornly, "I want to see Mr. Chen, otherwise I will never sign."

Dilireba plucked up the courage to look Tang Qing in the face. She originally thought that this man with a small nose and small eyes, who didn't look like a good guy, would be very angry, threaten her, and continue to coerce her in a sarcastic way.

But unexpectedly, a few seconds later, Tang Qing suddenly smiled, shook his head and said, "You really don't know how lucky you are...Okay, wait, I'll go ask Mr. Chen if he's done with his work."

Tang Qing walked out of the conference room. A woman in a suit and skirt happened to pass by. Seeing him coming out, she smiled and asked, "Have you signed it?"

Tang Qing's face turned respectful and he greeted, "Not yet."

"Not yet. Hahaha. How interesting. Okay, go ahead and do your thing."

"Okay, goodbye Sister Chen."

Chen Huihua, Fan Binbing's manager, is actually his subordinate. But... hehe.

Tang Qing walked to a room, poked his head in and looked inside the door.

He left the room immediately before the interview was over, but he was still seen.

"what's up?"

A young and handsome man came out.

Tang Qing straightened his back all of a sudden, "Boss Qi, she still refuses to sign, saying she wants to see the boss."

"Oh."

Tang Qing looked at the other person's face and asked tentatively: "Boss Qi, is this girl... worth it?"

"What do you mean?"

"Boss Qi, I just think that, indeed, this girl is good-looking, but this type of girl is a bit unusual. To be honest, there has never been a successful precedent in the industry before. I feel that the company has spent so much effort on her, but she doesn't know how to be grateful. I think it's not worth it. After all, her image has limited her acting options. I feel... maybe it will be difficult for her to make any big progress."

Qi Yuntian said: "That's very well said."

Tang Qing lowered his head and said, "This is just my humble opinion. Mr. Qi, I don't have any other intentions."

Qi Yuntian smiled and said, "I don't have any other intentions, because I have the same idea as you. But this person was chosen by Mr. Chen himself, so... bring her here."

"Bring it here?"

"Yes. Mr. Chen likes her so much, let her come over and take a look."

Di Lieba sat in the conference room, feeling very nervous, not knowing what the outcome would be.

In fact, she also knew that in front of such an evil force that was enough to ban her from the entire entertainment industry, she, as a newcomer who was nothing, really had little room for resistance. In the end, there was a 99% chance that she could only bow her head and sign this indenture.

But she just refused to accept.

When Tang Qing came in, her nerves suddenly tensed up and her deep eyes suddenly widened even more.

Tang Qing smiled and said, "Come with me."

……

……

Chen Nuo is currently being interviewed by the American magazine Vanity Fair.

There is no doubt that when it comes to money topics, there is no magazine more suitable or more interested than this one.

On the day of the incident, Vanity Fair's interview request was submitted to the official email address of Huanxin Company, and it was repeated over and over again in the past three months.

After Chen Nuo gave a positive response the day before yesterday, the reporter team of Vanity Fair flew to Beijing yesterday.

It is conceivable that this prestigious publication in the United States, which has long been at the top of the global high-end financial and fashion culture magazines, is very interested in the fact that a Chinese actor earned 1.2 million US dollars in the United States in two years.

At the request of Vanity Fair, Chen Nuo dressed very formally today, wearing a black suit, white shirt and bow tie, and also asked Michelle Williams, the chief makeup artist of Huanxin Company, to do his makeup.

Because the magazine not only wants him to go to the studio tomorrow to take some fashion photos as cover illustrations, but also wants to take a few photos of him in formal clothes as illustrations for the interview.

Opposite him was Katherine Brandon, the ace reporter of Vanity Fair. The woman was in her early 30s and dressed very fashionably, which was in line with the style of Vanity Fair. She had golden brown curly hair draped over her shoulders, and wore a beige suit with a skirt that just reached her knees, revealing a pair of slender calves, and black high heels.

She held a pen in her hand and wrote a few words in the notebook, then she spoke: "Chen, what you mean is that you deserve the money."

"Of course, I deserve every penny I get."

"But why would Summit Entertainment sign such a big contract with you and give you so much money?"

"Let me correct you, Catherine. They didn't give me the money. I won it myself."

Chen Nuo picked up a piece of paper on the coffee table beside him. Most of the original text was covered by black squares, with only two lines of English letters in the middle showing.

"This is the contract we signed originally, you can take a look."

After Catherine took it, she glanced at it and said, "Is this a bet agreement with zero pay?"

"Yes."

"Can we release this to our magazine's readers?"

"You can. We already have the judge's permission, and this clause is no longer subject to confidentiality clauses."

"Thank you. Then where did you get the confidence, and why did you sign such a high-risk bet agreement?"

Chen Nuo was about to speak, but immediately, his eyes passed over the reporter in front of him and looked towards the door of the conference room.

Dilireba walked in timidly, following behind Tang Qing.

Chen Nuo was a little confused, but he only glanced at it and then returned his gaze to Catherine's face: "You asked me why. My answer is very simple. I believe in my vision and I think it will be a hit. In the end, my judgment earned me an excess salary of 1.2 million. I think my performance in the movie is worth the money."

Catherine asked, "I heard that the contract renewal negotiations between you and Summit Entertainment are currently at a stalemate. Is this true? Do we still have a chance to see the finale of Twilight? I mean, Twilight 4 starring you."

Chen Nuo said with a hint of sarcasm, "Dear Catherine, you know, when I signed this agreement two years ago, the Summit board praised me for my extraordinary courage. Now, when the money is in my account, they start to complain about why they signed such a contract with me. Then, they drove professionals like Friedman out of the president's office and let laymen like Will Statham sit in."

“It’s really ridiculous.”

"You just said that the contract renewal for Twilight 4 was at an impasse. Yes, my agent talked to them at Summit Entertainment's office for a month, and finally we gave up."

"Because I didn't get the feeling that they wanted to renew the contract, they just wanted to exploit me."

"But I can tell you, they have no bargaining chips. With me, they have bargaining chips. Without me, they have no bargaining chips at all."

"Twilight made me money, but they made much more money than me. As a result, they have never said thank you to me."

"Not even a thank you."

“I hope they say thank you to me.”

"To be honest, this mentality of theirs is not good for our cooperation and is not conducive to the signing of our contract."

"If Summit Entertainment wants me to return to the negotiation table, either Will Statham calls me with sincerity. Or, let the Summit Entertainment board of directors send someone else to talk to me."

Catherine asked, "Is this your final answer to this question?"

Chen Nuo said: "Yes."

The topic of film pay ended here, and Chen Nuo's main purpose of accepting the interview was achieved.

Then Catherine began to ask about other things, and he followed her lead.

"Nolan is undoubtedly a fantastic director who has the courage to continue to innovate based on the success he has already achieved."

"Of course I hope it will be seen by moviegoers around the world as soon as possible, but I also hope they can take their time and finally present a perfect work. I hope it will not only be successful, I hope it will surprise the whole world."

"Fans don't cause me a lot of trouble, and I like to share my life with them. I am very grateful to them. In a sense, they have changed my life."

"I actually didn't deliberately adjust my acting style. Whether I'm shooting a Chinese movie or in Hollywood. Whether it's a commercial movie or an art movie. For example, crying scenes..."

He stared blankly ahead. After a few seconds, two tears fell from his eyes. Then he returned to normal. "This is the 'internalized performance' that Eastern directors like."

Immediately, his face twisted and he clenched his right fist and slammed it on the coffee table next to him. "This is the 'emotional climax performance' that Hollywood directors like."

He wiped his face and said seriously, "But in fact, I took the former method in Twilight. And in The Dumb House, now I think, I used the latter. I think an actor's goal is to make the audience forget the camera and only see the character. No matter what method is used, this is the only goal. As long as you can feel my pain when I cry, that's enough. There is no national boundary between them."

Katherine Brandon stared at him for two seconds, then laughed, "Chen, I have interviewed many actors, and you are probably the one who makes me feel most different besides Adrien Brody."

The interview, originally scheduled for two hours, ended after two and a half hours.

After both parties agreed on the time and venue for tomorrow's photo shoot, Catherine Brandon took her people away.

Then Chen Nuo asked Qi Yuntian curiously: "Why did you bring her here?"

"She said she won't sign the contract unless she sees you."

Chen Nuo's face darkened and he looked at the girl at the door, "What do you want to see me for?" It didn't matter what Di Lieba was thinking before she came. What mattered was that she had been standing at the door for half an hour and saw the person she was going to meet, surrounded by a bunch of foreign staff, speaking fluent English to a blonde, blue-eyed, super imposing Western woman, a word of which she couldn't understand at all.

Then, after listening to a question from a reporter, he performed two crying scenes.

Then Di Lieba finally understood why she was venting her anger by reading posts cursing him online recently.

Those posts insulted him for everything from his family background to his scandals, from his appearance to his height.

But no one criticized his acting skills.

Even though she is just a layman now, she doesn't understand anything and can't tell good from bad.

But when I saw that scene live, it really felt like I was watching a magic show.

This actually strengthened her determination.

If this is the only way to be an actor, then she should prepare a way out for herself first.

……

……

To be honest, when Chen Nuo heard what Di Lieba said, he couldn't help but think, why not just forget it and let this person start working immediately.

It is not impossible for her to start acting in the crew from her freshman year and shoot from the age of 18 to 28. It was her own request anyway.

In the end, he became a big vase and never looked back on the road of variety shows. When asked about his works, he had no results. You can't blame him.

If it was another XJ girl, he would definitely do the same without saying a word.

But now, this thought only flashed through his mind.

After all, halfway through the journey of visiting Zhuge Liang three times, he became angry and changed from a visitor to a robber.

Not only did they fall out with each other, but they also asked Qi Yuntian to send a note to Cai Yinong's sugar figurine and Wang Jinghua's Shiba, openly trying to snatch people away.

He even personally sold his reputation and found a teacher in the student affairs office of Beijing Film Academy, asked for the emergency contact number of Dilraba's family, and called the number.

On the phone, he promised Pang Di's father that he would patiently train her and not let her be led astray by the entertainment industry.

So, Chen Nuo decided to give her another chance.

It's not just because Dilraba Dilmurat's father, the simple Uyghur singer, thought that Chen Nuo was trustworthy after just a 40-minute phone call, and decided to entrust his only daughter, who had just entered the entertainment industry, to him for cultivation.

Similarly, it is because people grow up.

People won't stay stupid forever.

How much did Di Lieba's thoughts change from the age of 18 to 28? Chen Nuo estimated that the only way to describe it is earth-shaking.

No matter how much she needs money now or how much she wants to start working, she will have a different idea when she is 28 years old and becomes rich.

If she really did that, she would think back, why did they let me take on acting jobs when I was a freshman? Why didn't they let me hone my acting skills and learn more? She was a child and didn't understand, so did the company? Why didn't they stop her? If they didn't let her take on acting jobs and let her learn more, would she be able to walk into the Kodak Theater and win the Golden Globe by now?

It's the same as a child who has been spoiled since childhood and eventually achieves nothing will resent his parents. Even if the child's IQ is only over 60, it will still happen.

In order to avoid this situation, and to prevent Dilireba, whose contract will expire at the age of 28, from seeing through her in Huanxin Company, Chen Nuo is just a tool to make money...

"You...you...what do you mean?"

Dilireba was shocked by Chen Nuo's words.

"I said, you want to film quickly, it's nothing more than that you think your current popularity is hard-earned."

Dilireba hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, I'm mainly worried..."

"Okay, no need to say more, I get it. Let's do this, you sign the contract first. If you still have the same idea after a week, I'll let you start filming now."

Dilireba blinked, "Really?"

"real."

When Dilraba Dilmurat finally signed the contract and took a photo with the man in a suit, she had no idea what would happen next.

Until one day later.

This was the second day after the 2010 class of the Performance Department finished their military training.

On the first day she went to Huanxin, signed the contract, and came back unhappy without saying anything.

The next day, after 11 a.m., this class was a public class.

In addition to the acting department, students from other majors in the Film Academy also attend classes together.

The hundreds of seats in the huge tiered classroom were basically full, as the freshmen who had just arrived were all very self-disciplined.

Some are listening to the class, while others are playing with their mobile phones.

Di Lieba is the former.

Because her Nokia phone, which cost more than 1000 yuan, does not have the function of surfing the Internet, unlike other classmates' iPhone 3GS, or the iPhone 4 that Yang Zi asked someone to bring back from abroad, which can play games, browse the web, send text messages, and check Sina Weibo.

So when her classmate Li Xian looked back at her, she didn't think anything of it.

Li Xian looked at her straight, which made Di Lieba feel a little uncomfortable, but soon, the tall boy turned his head away.

Immediately, the two boys on his left and right also turned around.

He also seemed to be hesitant to speak, and finally turned his head away.

Di Lieba didn’t know what the boys in the class were doing. It wasn’t the first time they met. They had been in the same class for military training for two weeks, but they acted like they were meeting for the first time.

really weird.

Besides, in Beijing Film Academy, let alone this sweet potato girl, even a star like Yang Zi, in a place where everyone wants to be a star, no one would pay much attention to her. In the words of the instructor, unless you are Liu Yifei or...hahahahahaha Chen Nuo.

What's going on here?
At this time, Yang Zi beside her yawned, took out her mobile phone and started surfing the Internet.

Dilireba looked at her super beautiful black Apple phone with envy, and secretly encouraged herself to start taking on acting jobs and earn money immediately. Then, she could ask someone to buy it for her from the United States. In just one week...

Dilraba doesn't think anything will happen this week that will make her change her mind.

is it possible? impossible.

As she thought about it, she continued to listen to the class, and at this time, a buzzing sound began to spread in the classroom.

I don’t know where it started, but more and more students were whispering to each other. Di Lieba was sitting in the middle and could hardly hear what the teacher was saying on the stage.

At the same time, more and more people seemed to be looking at her. At first, it was the people nearby, and then the people in front of her, all turned around and stared at her.

Dilireba was a little confused. She stood the book up to cover her face and turned to Yang Zi and said, "Zi, why do I feel like so many people are looking at me?"

Yang Zi lay on the table, lazily scrolling through her phone, "You're pretty."

"No, I'm serious!"

"I'm serious too."

Forget it, Di Lieba thought about it and felt that it was probably just an illusion. These people were probably looking at Yang Zi who was next to her.

After all, "Home with Kids" is so popular. Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan are the stars of their class. This may be the first time for them to attend such a large class together, so students from other majors are probably chasing after their idol.

Dilireba put down the book and continued to listen to the class. At this time, she noticed that some people in the first row turned around and pointed at her.

Mr. Mu, who was teaching philosophy on the stage, finally couldn't bear it anymore. He coughed and said, "Be quiet. If you don't want to listen, just lie down and sleep. Don't disturb others."

At Teacher Mu's call, the classroom was quiet for about five minutes. During these five minutes, although the voices became lower, the number of people who stole glances at her from all angles increased instead of decreased. Then the buzzing noise gradually became louder.

Dilireba looked back and saw someone standing up in the corner and looking at her.

The girl couldn't stand it any longer and thought to herself that she would never sit next to Yang Zi next time because she would attract too much attention.

Teacher Mu also got angry when he saw this. He pointed at a student in the audience and said, "You, stand up."

The girl who should be from the directing department was startled and stood up timidly.

"Tell me, what are you looking back at? I'm teaching at the podium, not in the last row. What do you mean?"

The girl lowered her head and said nothing.

Teacher Mu said nothing more when he saw this. "Sit down and listen to the class carefully, okay?"

"Oh." The girl sat down.

Teacher Mu said, "If you don't like to listen, just lie down and sleep. Don't keep looking over there as if you've never seen a star. If others tell others later that you are chasing after your classmate's star, it will be embarrassing."

At this time, Di Lieba heard what the girl who had just sat down said.

Teacher Mu suddenly laughed and said, "If you are not chasing stars, what are you doing? Tell me."

"Chen Nuo posted on Weibo."

Teacher Mu was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted and said, "So what if he posted on Weibo? Does it have anything to do with you?"

"He said……"

Dilraba Dilmurat couldn't hear what was said, because at this time the noise in the whole room could no longer be described as buzzing, it was almost the same as the vegetable market in XJWLMQ.

Students from all directions who were far away stood up and looked at her.

When Di Lieba heard the name Chen Nuo, her heart beat faster and her mind went numb. She felt like she knew something, but her nerves couldn't react all of a sudden.

At this moment, the teacher on the stage didn't know what he saw in the phone handed over by the girl, but he looked over with interest.

At this moment, Yang Zi beside her sat up straight as if supported by a spring. She held the mobile phone in both hands with a serious expression and stared at it in a daze for a while.

Then he slowly turned around and asked with an expression that Dilraba Dilmurat found unfamiliar: "Have you signed a contract with Huanxin?"

"Ah..." Dilireba's face turned a little red. She was a little at a loss and didn't know what to say.

At this time, Li Xian and several other boys in the front row turned around and said with unprecedented enthusiasm:
"It's really you."

"Fuck, now you're in trouble."

"If I remember correctly, this should be the first time Chen Nuo posted a group photo."

"Absolutely. Neither Liu Yifei's nor hers have been posted."

Li Xian gave her a thumbs up and said, "Great! Please help us in the future, classmate."

The other two boys echoed, "That's right."

When Dilireba was at a loss, Yang Zi's voice rang in her ears again. The voice was faint and there was an indescribable feeling, "Xiao Di, why didn't you tell us about such a big thing?"

Beside Yang Zi, Bao Wei, who was always slow to react, stared at the phone in Yang Zi's hand and suddenly shouted in an extremely excited tone, "Fuck! Xiaodi, is this you?"

Di Lieba's mind went blank. Amidst Teacher Mu's laughter, she couldn't help but look at the beautiful IPhong4 in Yang Zi's hand.

All I saw on the screen was a Weibo post.

There is a photo on Weibo.

In the photo, she was wearing a very low-end sweatshirt and jeans bought at the WLMQ Farmer's Market, standing next to a man in a black suit and bow tie.

She didn't smile, and neither did the man.

But her expression made her look like a country girl preparing to buy groceries, while the person next to her looked like he was walking on the red carpet outside the Oscars, preparing to receive an award.

Di Lieba has good eyesight. Not only can she see the photo clearly, she can also see the tiny text on it.

On this photo that she wanted to destroy immediately, he wrote:

"The Huanxin family has added a beautiful new member. She is a freshman from my alma mater, the Beijing Film Academy, in the Department of Performance, Dilireba Dilmurat from XJ."
