Global Film Emperor

Chapter 207 A Bed Scene

A week later, word-of-mouth for "The Boss" began to spread. In fact, it had already established its reputation on the second day of its release, but it wasn't until a week later that it became well-known in mainland China.

Many influential film bloggers on Weibo have researched Jia Helong's background and provided information to mainland moviegoers who are unfamiliar with this triad boss, and believe that this is the best film produced in Hong Kong in recent years.

When influential figures say this, no one refutes it, because looking at the films produced in Hong Kong in recent years, they are mainly for the Lunar New Year holiday season and are mostly nonsensical. However, the charm of Hong Kong's nonsensical films has declined, and it is no longer the era of the 1990s when a dry joke could make people burst into laughter.

There are no funny moments, it feels idiotic, adults find it boring, and some scenes are even unsuitable for children. This is the current state of nonsensical movies.

Are there any crime or police thrillers like "The Boss"? Yes, but very few. Apart from "The Boss," there have only been three in the past five years, and only one of them was considered quite good.

Compared to "The Boss," this film falls short in every aspect, including background, scale, the weight of the characters, and film quality.

In fact, he hasn't appeared in the public eye since the release of "The King of Fighters" on May Day this year. After all, he hasn't released any new works, participated in variety shows, made any appearances, or attended any galas. So where does he get the exposure?

Now, Lu Ze has returned to the public eye with "The Boss," showing everyone that he has never really gone far and is constantly bringing good works to the audience.

As one influential blogger said, "In this era where the entertainment industry is all about making quick money, we've become accustomed to shoddy, mass-produced garbage movies, or ignoring domestic works and 'going overseas' to appreciate other countries' cultures. In this awkward era where veteran actors don't have the stamina to support making many films, young artists haven't grown up, and the film and television industry is in a transitional period, I'm very fortunate that there's still someone like Lu Ze who can continue to move or inspire me on screen. He gives me gifts and surprises time and time again. It's not that domestic films rely entirely on him, but he's still striving. Just like he said when he won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor, he wants to give us the best works. Since the release of 'The Boxer,' I no longer care what movies Lu Ze is in. As long as he's the lead, I immediately buy a ticket. Just for Lu Ze's name, spending a few dozen yuan to see a movie is worth it."

Below was a sketch he drew himself. Lu Ze was wearing a suit and sitting on a bench by the beach. The sun was setting and half of it was swallowed by the sea. In the golden sunlight, Lu Ze had his back to the people. He turned his head and showed half of his face. He had slicked-back hair and a beard. He had a cigarette in his mouth and smiled at everyone.

Although it is a painting, it is very visually appealing and has been collected by many people. It has been shared on social media platforms such as QQ Space and WeChat Moments, and some people have even used it as wallpaper. It has become widely circulated in a short period of time.

What truly sparked a viral sensation online was a video from another Weibo influencer, which garnered over ten million views in just one day.

"Let's experience all of Lu Ze's works, as well as a mashup of his daily life, and witness the growth of this man I adore."

After clicking on the video, the first thing you hear is a very famous instrumental piece called "The Street Where the Wind Dwells," and then the picture gradually comes into view.

I keep dreaming about my brother.

"what?"

"From the day I was born, I've been like a dog chasing me. I've been forced to run forward since I was little. When I can't run anymore, I have to crawl on the ground. And when I can't crawl anymore, there are people pushing me from behind. What kind of race is this? What kind of starting later than others? Don't I know that? Am I not tired? But I'm poor! No matter how tired I am, I can only keep running!"

"Life is meaningless."

"This is the life I'm used to; I don't want to change it, and I don't have the ability to change it."

"I, Ah Long, can't bear to part with this worthless life. What can I gamble with? The most valuable thing I have is my life. As long as I can become rich and powerful, what's wrong with giving him my life!"

"That's life~ Living like a rotten log, blown by the wind and battered by the rain, slowly rotting away until someone steps on me and I break."

The scene shows a crying scene from "The Boxer". He is knocked to the ground by his second uncle in the boxing gym. He cries silently, gets up, and continues to eat the bowl of noodles that has been half-filled with vinegar.

The scene shifts to him pouring himself a glass of wine in his villa on Victoria Peak. With a cigarette between his fingers, he picks up the glass, shakes the ice cubes inside, and then drinks it all in one gulp.

Why won't you give me even one chance?!

"Because you don't deserve it!!"

"Second Pig, it was my fault, I apologize."

He simply knelt on the ground, like a lump of rotten flesh, and no one could pull him up.

“I think that instead of dwelling on the fear of the boy in the future, it’s better to listen to her thoughts. If she says that it’s him and there’s no one else, then I’ll wish her well.”

Inside the Mushroom House, he took a sip of his wine and discussed his daughter's younger sister's dating issues with Teacher Huang.

"She said something to me that she had never said to you before: she never blamed you, she loves you."

The sound of punching the sandbag echoed through the boxing gym. Only a dim light above his head was on. He was covered in sweat, hands on his hips, and spun around twice. Seemingly unwilling to give up, he kicked the sandbag hard again.

"Ah Er. Ah Wen is also dead. Go and prepare for the funeral."

Hearing someone kill his entire family with his own ears dimmed his gaze. But as the eldest brother, he couldn't roll on the ground like Ah Er. But was he really not sad?

“I used to believe in Jesus and was a devout Christian, but I later discovered that I was only interested in how Jesus was nailed to the cross.”

His eyes were filled with extreme excitement and brutality. He picked up a long nail and a hammer and smashed it down on the man's knee. Blood splattered onto his face, and half of his face, speckled with blood, faced the camera, revealing the deepest pain hidden in his heart. In reality, he was just a man whose family had been destroyed.

This video is quite long, over four minutes long. It contains lines from all of Lu Ze's characters, as well as a rare glimpse into Lu Ze's daily life. I don't know why it's accompanied by such a sad song. In any case, this montage brought tears to many people's eyes; even a single tear was a tear.

Watching his physique constantly change—thin, fat, strong, and of average build—one can tell just how much sweat and effort he has put in. His continuous improvement in acting skills is also increasingly evident in comparison; a single glance from him can convey all the emotions he needs to express, and his delivery of lines is impeccable, demonstrating exceptional acting prowess.

Lu Ze is a hardworking man who has shown great depth. Sometimes he smiles brightly, sometimes he is gloomy and cold. He often struggles on the verge of collapse from pain and despair. He is a man with a high school education, a disabled father and a mother who never went to school. He has no dark history, his life is simple to the point of being boring, and he can play any role perfectly. He became a movie star at the age of 26.

It's really rare to find someone like that, an actor like that, who is so hard to dislike.

At the end of this clip, there's a thought-provoking line that, while perhaps a bit overly complimentary, could be applied to Lu Ze.

"Fortunately, this era gave us a Lu Ze; unfortunately, this era only gave us one Lu Ze."

When the video went viral online, Lu Ze was still in the dressing room fixing his hair, preparing to start filming soon.

When he came out of the dressing room, he was greeted with applause from the entire crew. He hadn't seen the video, which left him confused, wondering what these people were up to.

"What's going on?"

"Alright! Enough clapping, time to film!"

Guo Mingde waved his hand, and the group left like locusts. Lu Ze glanced at Wang Zixuan, who also knew nothing. The two looked at each other, both completely bewildered.

"No... what's going on! You scared me! Xiao Zhao! What were you doing just now?"

He shouted again, but still no one paid any attention. The photographer, Xiao Zhao, suppressed a laugh and still didn't explain the situation to Lu Ze. Lu Ze got angry, tied up his bathrobe, put on his slippers, and stomped into the film set.

Yes, the young actors who are currently receiving high praise online are going to start filming sex scenes, the really explicit kind.
The actress was a special type, very beautiful, and seemed to have a crush on Lu Ze. She was sitting in a chair wearing a bathrobe, her face slightly flushed.

"When you two call out later, Lu Ze, you have to call out too. Don't just stay silent, make your voices loud and deep, like 'hmm~ hmm~ hmm~ oh!', understand?"

"I can!"

Guo Mingde, that old rascal, was giving instructions to Lu Ze and the actress with a mocking expression. He started by making a dirty joke, which made the actress, who was already a little embarrassed, even more embarrassed.

Lu Ze was speechless. No one had ever spoken like that. Lu Ze was so angry that he clenched his fists, but there was nothing he could do. The plot required it, so Lu Ze had to accept his fate and just let him yell.

"Alright, everyone else, leave! Get the lights ready, and get out of here! Hurry up!"

After all the other people had left, the two took off their bathrobes and got into bed. They lay down in the white quilt, covered themselves with the blanket, and stared longingly as the props threw their clothes, bras, and men's and women's underwear on the side of the bed, as if they had already gone crazy once.

"Prepare!"

Lu Ze, wrapped in a blanket, leaned against the female special agent. The female special agent spread her legs to create more space.

Lu Ze didn't mean to, he just habitually glanced down and saw a strapless bra tied around his neck. The bra was so big that Lu Ze was completely confused. He muttered "Don't look at what you shouldn't see" twice, and then nodded to Zhuang Yu and Guo Mingde.

"To Live, Scene 19, Act 1! Begin!"

"Crunch. Crunch crunch."

The bed kept shaking, but the two of them didn't feel anything; they just kept howling, and their howls were quite similar, making the photographer swallow hard.

Suddenly, the female special agent grabbed Lu Ze's neck and kissed him. Since it was filming, Lu Ze couldn't just ignore her. The two were very aggressive, and then the female special agent wrapped her legs around Lu Ze's waist.

This was required for filming, and it wasn't something they were doing haphazardly. Both of them performed quite well, and Zhuang Yu and Guo Mingde were very satisfied watching the monitor.

The camera then focused on their arms. Lu Ze ran his hand over the female special agent's smooth arm, and finally their hands intertwined. Suddenly, Lu Ze squeezed hard, and the female special agent let out a scream, and that was it.

Lu Ze rolled over and lay down on one side. He grabbed some tissues from the bedside table, reached under the covers, and when he reached out again, the tissues were gone.

She lit a cigarette, her breathing a little heavy. The female agent rolled over, smiled, and wiped the sweat from Lu Ze's forehead. Then she leaned against Lu Ze's chest, took his hand, took a drag of his lit cigarette, exhaled, and made a cute face.

"Cut! That's it! Next round!"

Everyone else had left, leaving only the two on the bed. The female agent smiled shyly, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, got up and dressed. The two didn't exchange any further words until the female agent left.

Lu Ze paused for a moment, took out the tissue tucked in his pants, crumpled it, threw it into the trash can, sighed as he lay on the bed, got up, put on his clothes, and left.
