I'm not a drama freak, I can really see through the script

Chapter 350, The screenwriter of "The New World," and Liu Yifei's unique desire to share.

The hot pot was steaming hot, and there was a plate of vegetarian dishes specially prepared for Andy Lau on the side.

While enjoying a hearty meal of mutton, Zhu Yawen suddenly spoke up.

"I'm not going to work with you on the next movie."

Li Xuan paused and met Zhu Yawen's gaze.

"Ok."

Luo Jin, who was standing next to him, also spoke up.

"Me too."

"You two are real traitors," Gao Yuanyuan teased from the side. Luo Jin and Zhu Yawen then declared with such righteous indignation that they were not going to work with her on the next movie.

"Yes, we've both grown up and want to try flying solo. After all, we're ambitious people too."

This time, it's "The Long Season".

Luo Jin and Zhu Yawen also made some gains.

Her acting skills are also remarkably superior compared to her contemporaries.

Compared to Li Xuan, he certainly can't compare, but compared to others, he still has a certain gap and advantage.

That's quite excellent.
However, at this moment, Gao Yuanyuan, Li Xuan, Fan Wei, and even Liu Dehua all knew that the two of them were just joking this time.
They had no reason or emotion to 'betray' Li Xuan. What mainly made them feel this way was their inferiority complex and their unwillingness to hold Li Xuan back.

Even if someone is outstanding enough, standing alongside Li Xuan isn't enough; going to 'challenge' others with Li Xuan isn't enough either.
Especially when they learned that Li Xuan's next project was to "compete" with Lu Chuan, they knew even more that their acting skills would be a hindrance.
In fact, Li Xuan felt that bringing them along wouldn't have affected him too much—but agreeing was also a way of responding to the respect they showed him.

Respect for film works.

They didn't want any mistakes to happen at the Nanjing Photo Studio.

After all, this kind of film needs to be shot and experienced with respect.

"Senior Fan, are you alright?"

“No problem. If I were to act in this kind of role, I guarantee I could deliver a more profound performance.” Fan Wei naturally followed Li Xuan’s next project.
"This time, there's no main character role!"

"Hahaha! It's okay, being the lead once is enough. It proves that I'm not a natural supporting character, that's enough." Fan Wei laughed heartily this time, showing a very open-minded and cheerful attitude.

What he needs most is perhaps 'respect'.
Here, he can get these things, he can get respect.

This seemingly carefree man from Northeast China actually needs to be treated with more care than one might imagine.
This time, Fan Wei was completely convinced.

To Li Xuan.

Gao Yuanyuan did not answer. After filming Nanjing Nanjing, she was also thinking about whether to film Li Xuan's Nanjing-themed work from her own perspective.

Also, consider this matter and the script from Li Xuan's perspective.

"Andy Lau, I've come up with a new script for you."

"Oh? It's finally my turn!"

At this moment, Andy Lau was eagerly anticipating the moment, and the expression of longing on his face was quite obvious.

So, even Andy Lau, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, can make this kind of expression.
Everyone thought that Li Xuan was a truly amazing person.

It's amazing how men are.
As a time traveler, Li Xuan actually had quite a few scripts in his mind. However, knowing, understanding, and being aware of the details were all different sensory systems. He was essentially 'copying' these scripts into a world, allowing himself to fully experience, understand, and live in that world, thereby refining and developing them.

However, if it's just a general description of the script, I still have quite a few scripts in my mind.

Especially after completing the bet and increasing my physical condition percentage, many vague things have become clear, such as some movies and TV shows that I have watched before.

The feeling of those interesting things appearing in my mind became clearer.

According to the film industry, each film award has its own 'preferences,' which may be based on stance, ideology, or the circle to which the film belongs.

Does 'injustice' exist? Perhaps. Within a framework composed of people, the existence of such things is inevitable.
But at least, the awards for the next cycle, which are two and a half years from now, are still highly valuable and serve as proof of the policy changes.

Works created 'targeted' its attributes.
Films shot in Hong Kong can naturally be more 'international', rather than being works like "Hidden in the Dust," which are likely to be purely for the mainland market.
"This work is called 'New World,' and let me tell you something about it...hehehe, it's somewhat similar to Chen Yongren."

Luo Jin and Zhu Yawen were among those listening to the plot of "The New World".

The mutton was overcooked.
"I didn't feel any resentment whatsoever towards Chen Yongren."

At this moment, after listening to the script, Andy Lau felt his dopamine levels rise and recalled how he felt a sense of resonance when he listened to the script for "Infernal Affairs".

After listening to the script for "Infernal Affairs," all he wanted to do was smoke, look at the sky, and gaze at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

Unlike "New World," which directly triggers dopamine release—this Chen Yongren has a certain thrill to it.

Perhaps this undercover agent has no faith, but deep down he feels that this role has a greater capacity to make ordinary people feel.

An 'Infernal Affairs' movie that even ordinary babies can enjoy.

Upon hearing the script, Andy Lau immediately agreed.

We at Focus Entertainment want this script!
At this moment, Luo Jin and Zhu Yawen exchanged a glance.

"Can we go and film along?"

They immediately took a liking to "The New World".

There are complex reasons behind it—but there is a deep resonance within.

I just like one script.

Simply liking it.

At this moment, Li Xuan smiled.

"Then it depends on Andy Lau; this script is for him."

"If you'd like, you're very welcome." Andy Lau smiled slightly at the two young men.

Same as what I encountered at the beginning.

When the big guy had great wisdom, he met Andy Lau, who was still as fond of young people as ever.

And when I first met him.

However, this care was transferred from Li Xuan to other people.

Andy Lau remains unchanged.

Li Xuan also had a feeling.

Perhaps it's possible to be friends with someone like that.

It really is a kind of luck.

Once everything was arranged, Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

I lay on the soft sofa.

"Shall we have some, just the two of us?"

"Let's do it."

Clinking glasses with Snow Beer.

This time, Li Xuan did not stop Wei Ming from drinking.

It's just a drink.

I won't drink any more.

"Can I see your medical examination report?" "Here you go, don't worry, I have regular check-ups." Wei Ming handed his medical examination report to Li Xuan, both amused and exasperated.

It's still pretty bad.

The random indicator arrows flew around.

But the good news is that things didn't get any worse.

So, without a system in place, money really is a good thing. At least now, physical examinations are done at larger hospitals, with appointments with more specialized specialists, and the treatment received is better.

"Don't worry about it. It's normal to have all sorts of minor ailments when you get to this age."

Wei Ming told Li Xuan not to take it to heart.

Today is a happy day.

Yes, today is a happy day.

Li Xuan didn't dwell on the matter.

Because when one's ambitions and goals continue to move forward.

You will naturally receive the gift of health.

Including one's own family.

The gifts that can also be received.

When Wei Mingdu went to sleep, it was already eleven o'clock.

At this time of day, Li Xuan should be asleep, but there is one last thing to do today.

Turn on your computer, open QQ, and start a video call.

A low-resolution camera, slightly pixelated, is pointed at me.

This front-facing camera with its pixelated design is already one of the best cameras available. On the other side of the ocean, through this pixelated and blurry camera...

The QQ avatar is shaking.

You can also see the blurry figure of the woman on the other side.

Hey girl over there, look over here!

"Just watch!"

At that moment, Liu Yifei was in her apartment in Texas, across the ocean, communicating via computer.
To transmit and express through the internet.

There is no main storyline.

We talked about all sorts of random things, sharing recent achievements, the results of the long season, the cats and dogs we've been feeding lately in the US, and other trivial matters and insights.

After the promotion of "The Forbidden Kingdom" is over, she will come back. She prefers the safety of China to the free country of America.

Compared to more developed countries.

She prefers the place that gives her a sense of security.

That gives you this sense of security.

Perhaps it's the country.

Perhaps it's in this country.

A certain person.

Really Want.

Let's go back to the other side of the ocean.

I wanted to hear the joy he shared with me in person.

This strong idea.

It spread in Liu Yifei's mind.

On the other side of the ocean, the promotion of "King of Kung Fu" has also reached its final stage.

This is the most anticipated Hollywood movie in China.

Cheng Shilong and Li Lianjie were smiling on the stage during the promotional ceremony.

They hugged and kissed each other, and we were the deepest and best of friends.

At least in terms of the publicity and distribution process.

Their affection for each other was commendable.

It's to the point that even those who know them feel a chill.

Even they themselves felt a chill. There was a counterintuitive truth to it: although they were both kung fu superstars in China, they were actually not very familiar with each other.

Otherwise, this first collaboration wouldn't have happened.
Of course, to outsiders, they are just close friends who resonate with each other because of kung fu.

A gimmick that can be hyped up in the media.
That's all. And once they were off-camera, their expressions returned to their usual indifferent state, neither particularly warm nor cold, neither good nor bad.
Their relationship was like that; rather than good or bad, it was more like a 'light' relationship.
During the lunch break, Cheng Shilong finally found a topic to discuss: "If Liu Yifei were in her current state when filming, she would definitely be able to perform even better."

The two looked into the distance, noting that Liu Yifei appeared noticeably more energetic and vibrant during promotional events and photoshoots.
"That's how people are—excellent, weak, poor, rich—there are differences. But no matter what level a person is at, 'progress' requires something to motivate them." At this moment, Li Lianjie also looked at Liu Yifei, finally finding a common ground with Cheng Shilong.
They all 'like' Liu Yifei, the hardworking girl in "The Forbidden Kingdom".

She really worked hard. Whether it was filming, action scenes, or dramatic scenes, she completely demonstrated a high level of effort.

But—effort alone is not enough; to make progress, you need something to propel you forward.

Her efforts demonstrate respect for the industry and profession, but she lacks the driving force. Both Cheng Shilong and Li Lianjie know that the biggest difference between them and her is that, coming from impoverished and ordinary backgrounds, they have absolute reasons and factors to drive them to 'progress' and 'fight'. The pursuit of fame and fortune is just that, these things are absolutely insufficient to drive Liu Yifei.

Now, during the promotional campaign, they noticed that Liu Yifei seems to have undergone a complete transformation.

There are some strong elements driving her.

She now has the potential to improve.

"It only started after he finished filming a mainland Chinese drama called 'Hidden in the Dust'," Cheng Shilong said with interest. "What kind of spell did Li Xuan cast on him?"

Li Xuan
This name was both familiar and unfamiliar to Li Lianjie; they had never truly interacted before.
In this industry, the "isolation" between the old and new generations, and between different levels of fame, is very serious. Even if there has been a collaboration, it is still a superior-subordinate relationship, and there is no real communication or exchange.

Even with Liu Yifei, whom he quite likes, their relationship is merely that of elders. If there is any respect to be shown, it is only because of the powerful financial backers Sony and Red Starwood behind her.

As the seventh generation, Li Xuan should not have stirred up any controversy, whether as an actor or a director.

But coincidentally, his film "The Warlords," which he was testing the waters in Hong Kong, was released during that period.

That's how his works came about.

It was done in a very strange manner.

They "won" against the great works present.

In terms of return on investment.

It absolutely ignited the entire audience, and even sold the copyright of the work overseas.

He only remembered the last one, in his mind, a local film adapted from a foreign film called Infernal Affairs. That film was hailed as the savior of Hong Kong's film industry.

The adaptation of that work has garnered considerable attention and can be considered a rather 'successful' case.

Now, following the success of "Infernal Affairs," which saved Hong Kong's film industry, "Buried Alive," a story by an unknown young man, has also been adapted.
A newcomer's name thus entered his world.
