Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 260 Crazy Racing: A New Record of Bloodshed
11:50 PM on June 15th.

A movie theater near Beijing Film Academy.

Zhao Liying, Zhang Xinyu, and Gao Ye found their seats and sat down.

Most of the people around me were people I knew somewhat.

Looking around, it's mostly people from the 05 to 04 classes of Beijing Film Academy.

Most of the famous ones are gone; the most popular one is Wang Zixuan, a major internet celebrity.

Since there were many familiar faces, everyone was relaxed and eagerly awaited midnight.

The appointed time arrived as scheduled.

When the various subtitles for ordinary people light up on the big screen.

Zhao Liying excitedly pulled Zhang Xinyu along, saying, "Although we're both in the industry, we're much better informed."

"Unlike many ordinary viewers who only learned about the play 'The Little Man' last month."

"But I'm still so envious of Chen Xiao and Jin Shijia, they're so lucky."

"Why is Stephen Chow no longer choosing 'Star Girls' and instead pushing 'Star Boys'?"

Chen Xiao and Jin Shijia, who have already made it into the top tier of the 05 class at Beijing Film Academy, are making countless of their classmates green with envy.

Zhang Xinyu was speechless, "Jin Shijia is easy to talk about, but Chen Xiao debuted in a ghost drama."

Chen Xiao debuted before being admitted to the Beijing Film Academy.

As the two whispered to each other, the subtitles on the big screen flickered.

A beautifully sung and soothing English song started playing.

Many people immediately recognized Zhang Guorong's voice.

As soon as the camera zoomed in, Stephen Chow's face occupied 90% of the screen, with his short hair and slightly graying temples.

There were wounds and bloodstains on his closed eyelids, nose, cheeks, and ears.

A second later, Stephen Chow, who had his eyes closed, blinked, as if he had woken up from a deep sleep.

As the face awakens, the camera zooms out.

Shrinking back to 30% of the large screen area, the entire left eye appeared somewhat swollen and dark, and the scars on the face were increasingly displayed.

Stephen Chow's eyelids twitched and his mouth twitched.

Many viewers in the exhibition hall burst out laughing instantly, their laughter filled with joy.

Just now, Stephen Chow's subtle facial expressions were silent; all the sounds were covered by the elegant, melodious singing and background music.

But what he clearly showed allowed all viewers to have the most direct feeling: pain!

The pain was so intense that the audience couldn't help but laugh.

This is the charm of Stephen Chow as the king of comedy at this stage.

The camera zooms out further, revealing Stephen Chow's upper body as he takes a cigarette out of his pocket.

Only then did everyone realize that Stephen Chow was sitting with his hands handcuffed, and the metacarpal bones of the eight fingers on the back of his hands were covered in bloodstains.

Old Zhou stylishly lit a cigarette, and then took out a can of food and a can opener from his shirt pocket.

Then he pulled a cat out of the jacket's arms.

Although I was beaten quite badly and my injuries were very painful.

But his incredibly handsome and composed demeanor was still on full display.

Stephen Chow didn't say a single line.

It's all about facial expressions and physical acting.

Being handcuffed doesn't diminish my elegant, handsome, and dignified image.

This scene, accompanied by background music and singing, brought bursts of laughter to the theater once again.

He couldn't stop laughing.

Many viewers don't actually know why they are laughing.

Stephen Chow clearly demonstrated that "whether someone is strong or not is a matter of one version, but whether someone is handsome or not is a matter of a lifetime."

I'd rather die than not show my coolest side.

That's the meaning and nature of it.

His acting is purely comedic.

Those who understand cinematic language know that Lao Zhou is naturally exuding coolness and handsomeness.

The unyielding spirit of putting on a show even at the cost of death.

Moreover, it's not just a facade; they genuinely have the confidence to easily handle whatever comes next.

Although his injury was painful, and the thought of being handcuffed seemed a bit awkward, he remained calm and unperturbed.

Those who don't understand it are simply amused by Stephen Chow's expressions.

The screen turns again.

The scene, resembling a police interrogation room, shifts, revealing a man and a woman sitting opposite each other at the interrogation table.

The man is Xiao Yang, who is chewing gum, and the woman is Son Ye-jin.

Xiao Yang and Son Ye-jin's expressions were also very rich and wonderful.

But compared to Stephen Chow? The audience didn't feel any emotional response to either of them at first.

Until Son Ye-jin crossed her arms and, a little exasperated, asked, "Who the hell are you?"

With his bruised left eye closed, Stephen Chow casually took another drag of his cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring, and asked, "Me?"

He calmly continued petting the cat, saying, "Nobody."

The screen went black.

The title of the film, featuring ordinary people, has also been officially released.

…………

After the title of this film.

The screen lit up again, showing a neighborhood of house-style residential buildings in the suburbs of Seoul, South Korea.

Every morning, Zhou Xingchi goes for a run, dressed casually with a briefcase, waiting for the bus with passersby, swiping his bus card, and going to work.

When I got home late from get off work, my son Chen Xiao was engrossed in playing on his phone, while my wife He Qing went to bed early.

The couple slept with separate blankets.

Then on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday...

Taking out the trash, making breakfast, waiting for the bus to go to work, and exercising in the community.

All things considered, this opening paragraph is actually quite uninteresting.

There are also many repetitions.

It depicts the life of a middle-aged man with gray hair, a mundane and uninteresting office worker, day after day.

It seems that at this age, life is meaningless except for repetition.

If they changed the actor, it might be boring.

But laughter still occasionally broke out in the theater, which in turn led to more laughter.

Just like in King of Comedy, Sunny asked Stephen Chow to make a nervous expression.

Stephen Chow's explanation of nervousness, though earnest and serious, can have several interpretations.

Sunny said it was like waiting for his wife to give birth in the hospital.

Stephen Chow performed earnestly, making facial expressions.

It made countless people laugh.

Then, due to making too many tense expressions, Stephen Chow fainted and had to earnestly explain why he had lost consciousness.

He performed in these ordinary, dull, and tedious segments.

The occasional glances and facial expressions conveyed are enough to make people burst into laughter.

Just a few minutes later, one night Stephen Chow got up as usual to check if his daughter had kicked off her blankets while sleeping, only to discover that someone had broken into the house.

The movie's plot has only just begun.

Zhang Jin and Cai Shaofen play a pair of novice master thieves who wear hoods that only reveal their eyes and mouths while rummaging through various items and threatening Stephen Chow with an unloaded gun.

The laughter in the theater grew louder and louder, and more and more frequent.

Zhang Xinyu couldn't help but tug at Zhao Liying, "What are you laughing at?"

On the big screen, Chen Xiao, who plays the eldest son, has already rushed out to fight the thief. The fight scene is not very skillful, just a chaotic mess of punches.

A very normal, everyday scene of a fight breaking into a house.

Chen Xiao then locked the male thief's waist from behind with his legs and locked his neck with his hands, temporarily controlling the male thief.

Zhao Liying laughed like a 90-pound child, bending over with laughter.

Zhang Xinyu didn't understand.

Zhao Liying barely managed to regain her composure. "I don't know. Don't you think Stephen Chow's expression was particularly comical when Chen Xiao subdued a thief and yelled for his dad to help?"

"That comical feeling was hilarious."

She is indescribably complex and quirky.

Even a fleeting, brief shot of the front view lasting only a few seconds.

It made her laugh nonstop.

Because this is the most elite special agent, an unparalleled master of mowing down enemies.

He lived in seclusion on the edge of the bustling city and discovered that a petty thief had broken into his home. He was too kind-hearted to bother with him.

They just wanted the other party to steal a small amount of money and let the person leave.

Chen Xiao, that silly son, really risked his life to subdue a thief. He even shouted excitedly to his father to come and help.

This comical feeling almost made even a top expert lose his composure.

They also thought their son's skills were terrible, so bad and weak that it was unbearable to watch.

To explain further, it means a strong and healthy adult is at home.

Two kindergarten children barged in from outside and seriously threatened you, trying to steal and rob you.

The kids are still using wooden daggers and plastic toy guns to scare you.

You're too lazy to bother with it, but then the eldest son of one of the kindergarten kids gets into a fight.

He was incredibly excited and exhilarated, declaring, "I subdued one! Dad, go beat up the woman!"

If the father and son work together, they can definitely protect their home from being robbed.

This is also incredibly exciting for strong and healthy adults.

It's already quite a feat that I didn't burst into laughter!
Stephen Chow's performances are designed to make audiences laugh in every way.

After the male thief knocked Chen Xiao down with one punch, he once again revealed his vicious nature and threatened Zhou Xingchi.

Old Zhou's lines, including his physical performance, have repeatedly amused countless people.

As we watched, even before Stephen Chow's turn to demonstrate his strength, his attitude, tone, and other demeanor changed.

It already conveys a kind of endearing contrast, like Sauce Explosion from Kung Fu Hustle running to Sing's house after he's mastered his kung fu and easily killed Fire Cloud Evil God, with an axe in hand.

A master, definitely not someone to mess with.

Stephen Chow brought the character's essence to life.

Then, after the thief ran away, Zhou Xingchi was disliked by Chen Xiao as useless and a good-for-nothing.

Stephen Chow's performance and reactions once again amused the entire audience.

When the police arrived, they mocked him with their tone and expressions, saying he was useless, during the investigation.

The movie continues until the 11th minute of the film, when Stephen Chow's family leaves home the day after being robbed.

Li Wenyu appeared wearing a suit; the two families' garages are next to each other.

Old Li's costumes, makeup, and props were truly incredibly handsome, so handsome that countless viewers were swooning, at least in the screening rooms where Zhang Xinyu, Zhao Liying, and others were present.

His appearance caused countless girls to scream.

But those screams quickly turned into bursts of laughter.

Old Li, with his fancy but impractical moves, mocked Stephen Chow for being useless, as if he were showing off boxing techniques.

If those two petty thieves had broken into his house last night, they would have been in big trouble.

Stephen Chow is a retired master who is too lazy to bother with young kids, but kindly let them go.

He was met with a group of people mocking and looking down on him, which made his performance particularly helpless.

That earnest helplessness, that air of being the only one sober in a world of drunks, and that caused countless laughs.

It wasn't until Stephen Chow and Lao Li brought up Lao Li's character's fiancée that they asked when the two would get married and have a wedding.

Zhang Xinyu suddenly slapped Gao Ye's thigh, "Oh my god, I just remembered that the character played by President Li is from the time before John Wick 1."

"He doesn't need to live in Sister Yuanyuan's memory anymore."

"So, the house next door had a killer sister named Yuanyuan staying there last night?"

"That's exactly what Mr. Li meant when he mocked the two petty thieves, saying they'd be in deep trouble if they went into the wrong place."

Gao Ye suddenly realized, "Right, right, right, Sister Yuanyuan lives next door. She can take on a hundred people by herself and still be unbeatable."

"But could you please take a picture of your own leg next time?"

The story of the (minor character) has progressed to this point, still laying the groundwork in the opening.

Even so, the vast majority of the audience who bought tickets felt that the movie was worth it.

It looks really cool.

What follows is a small accident that triggers a chain reaction that ignites the entire plot.

Stephen Chow, a middle-aged man struggling with a seemingly meaningless life, transforms into an invincible killing machine.

It's an action-fighting game similar to the John Wick series and The Beekeeper.

The only difference is that Stephen Chow's character incorporates elements of Jackie Chan's movies, and he feels pain when he gets hit.

Enduring the pain and anger, I continued mowing down enemies thanks to my invincible, thick health bar.

Collin Chou plays a brutal and inhumane godfather of a Japanese gang? His charisma and acting skills are both on point.

As the film continues, one character after another, both major and minor, appears.

Laughter, applause, and exclamations filled the movie theaters.

When your adrenaline is pumping, once it starts, it won't stop!

After a 90-minute movie ended, countless audience members had clapped until their hands were red, and they were laughing with some effort.

Until the Easter egg appears.

Li Wenyu appeared with Da Meiyuan in front of the house of Zhou Xingchi's family, which had been burned down.

He angrily denounced Stephen Chow for his lack of martial ethics, saying he had stolen his luxury car.

They deserved their house to be burned down.

Burglary, robbery, etc.

I never would have guessed that Stephen Chow was this kind of person.

Next time I see him, I'll make him pay.

Da Meiyuan smiled like the perfect wife and mother, comforting Li Wenyu and telling her not to care too much about these material things.

The screening rooms erupted in cheers once again.

The real (John Wick) and (small characters) are linked together.

Zhou Xingchi, a retired special agent, had just slaughtered a gang with unparalleled skill.

And then there's the killer, Da Meiyuan, who killed over 200 people in the first two parts?
Many people can't wait to watch the next installment.

Whether it's Little Guy 2 or John Wick 3, it's fine.

This kind of enjoyable and high-energy movie-watching experience was amazing.

When Zhang Xinyu, Zhao Liying, and Gao Ye pulled another classmate from the class of 05, Jia Qing, to move on to another location.

When watching the second episode.

Jia Qing asked curiously, "Why are there only three people in your dorm? Where's Mao Xiaotong?"

"No way, such a great movie, and the senior sisters who became famous and rich booked out a whole theater for us to watch for free."

"Mao Xiaotong isn't here?"

Zhang Xinyu, "..."

Zhao Liying, “…”

They were also curious about where Mao Xiaotong was.

But I don't know.

…………

June 19, around 6 a.m.

Li Wenyu arrived at the Media Building headquarters, but Pang Bing was not there.

Fat Bing left home after having breakfast around 7 a.m., but that was to start work on (The Voice of China).

The Voice of China also had its auditions held in advance.

Just look at the incredible popularity of Bing's direction of (Lucy).

Furthermore, the influence of the four mentors—Zhang Guorong, Jacky Cheung, Liu Huan, and Wang Fei—in the music industry is undeniable.

The auditions, which began two months ago, have attracted a total of 30 applicants, easily surpassing the 05+ applicants for the 15 Super Girl competition.

At present, Fat Bing has taken charge of a large team that is spread across the country.

The selection process involved both online and offline methods to screen 30 applicants.

This process also takes time.

Anyway, we'll film the first season in the summer, so we can just take it slow.

This lineup and its sheer size are incredibly impressive.

Old Li sat behind his desk when Da Meiyuan quickly ran over. "Brother Yu, good news!"

"(The Little Guy) grossed 8100 million yuan in its opening weekend."

"Crazy Racer, which entered its seventh week of screening last week, has accumulated more than 2000 million yuan, bringing its total box office in mainland China to 6.73 million yuan."

"It's not officially summer vacation yet."

"Is this the contribution of eight or nine million high school seniors??"

Old Li patted Da Meiyuan's big peach with emotion, "It's indeed good news."

If the race continues to maintain a single-digit percentage, it can accumulate small numbers.

(The little guy) is about to explode in all directions.

The film grossed 8100 million yuan over its opening weekend, but only attracted 32 moviegoers.

This is far from comparable to the eight or nine million graduates after the college entrance examination.

In two weeks, it will be the all-encompassing summer vacation for middle and high schools and universities!

The racing record has widened the gap between Kung Fu 2, currently in second place, and the record by 100 million.

6.73 million mainland Chinese data points = 8400 million US dollars!
