1990My Entertainment System

Chapter 115 Everyone says I'm dashing, invincible, and wielding an unparalleled spear!
There were other familiar faces from the summer in the crew, such as Uncle Zhan!
In "Flirting Scholar," James Wong played Grand Tutor Hua, Cheng Pei-pei played Madam Hua, and Mimi Chu played Tang Bohu's mother.
Uncle Zhan goes without saying—I've already arranged with Summer to meet him in Lan Kwai Fong tonight, and then I'll treat him to a massage.
They say a new batch of technicians recently arrived from Thailand, and their skills are excellent.
Cheng Pei-pei is also a professional action star, having been a martial arts queen for many years before retiring from acting after getting married. However, she returned to acting as she got older.

She has played many classic roles, and Xia Tian still likes her very much.

Summer felt right at home on the set of "Flirting Scholar" and was completely at ease.

Moreover, he is good at getting along with people and has friends everywhere.

However, what upset Stephen Chow was that Summer and Ah Lek were very close, chatting and laughing together, but not so close to him.

How am I supposed to ask to join Baize Ventures' investment team?!

……

Because his cameo role in the summer was small and he was in a hurry—he had another film to prepare for shooting—they let him film first.

It's the scene in the movie where the four great scholars make their appearance, each of them walking with an arrogant swagger, not recognizing anyone, and then taking off their clothes and striking a pose on the bridge!

He even harassed the young girl, nearly stripping her naked. This drove her to jump into the water.
Then the four of them recited poems by the river:
Francis Ng: A flock of geese down the mountain~
Summer: Hissing as they chase them down into the river~
Brother Lek: I fell into the river to catch geese to stave off hunger~
Stephen Chow: After eating, I'll go home and play with my wife!

Xia Tian: "I think what's most enviable about Brother Tang is his good fortune with women! Everyone knows that Brother Tang has eight wives at home, each one as beautiful as a flower and as lovely as a fairy. What more could a man ask for than someone like Brother Tang?"

Summer: Something feels off about these lines! Did they specifically make me say them? Are they trying to make fun of me?!

The people on set are all veteran actors, after all. These small scenes are easily handled.

Anyway, Stephen Chow wasn't nitpicking.

On the contrary, the scene with Ru Hua was filmed many times.

Stephen Chow: He tried to rob me, that damn transvestite!
Everyone: "Ah, a transvestite?!"

"I like it, take it!" Brother Le shoved the folding fan into Xia Tian's hand, then jumped into the river to chase after Ru Hua.
Francis Ng: "What a pity, he beat me to it!"

Summer + Stephen Chow: "Huh?!"

……

After that, there was no further mention of the other four great talents.

Only Lek-ge's Zhu Zhishan has a lot of story to tell later.

Summer and Francis Ng have now wrapped up filming!

Stephen Chow even wants to throw them a "wrap party"!
But forget it!

Finally, before leaving in the summer, I met with Gong Li.

Before Xia Tian could even speak, Gong Li had something to say.

"Don't call me Empress Gong! You've corrupted them all; now they all call me Empress Gong!"

Summer: "Then you've hit the jackpot!"

Xia Tian said with a serious expression, "I have something to tell you."

"Ok?"

"I feel like you're a bit reserved on set."

Gong Li simply nodded upon hearing this—to be honest, she felt very uncomfortable with the script.

The art of nonsensical comedy is still a bit ahead of its time for mainland China. Not to mention Gong Li, who has formal acting training and makes art films.
If we wait another three to five years, things might get better.

Moreover, Gong Li's Cantonese is not very good, which makes communication on set a bit difficult.

But Gong Li is an actress after all. She can't stop acting just because she doesn't understand or finds it hard to accept!
After all, you did accept the role.

Summer tried to persuade her, "Relax a little!"

“You are an actor, and the best one in the mainland, and even one of the top actors in the world. How can you let your own ideas tarnish the quality of your work!”

Xia Tian asked in a low voice, "You don't have an image to maintain, do you?"

"Huh? What kind of baggage?" At this point, "idol" was not the same as the "idol" in the later story, which confused Gong Li.

Summer explained it to her.

"Don't be afraid to make yourself look ugly. Making yourself look ugly in comedy, especially in this kind of nonsensical comedy, shows that you are a professional actor."

— Gong Li is the only actor in the film who used a body double to play an ugly role.

Later, Gong Li also expressed regret, saying, "If I could do it again, I would definitely go all out to perform."

Xia Tian concluded, "Think it over carefully! Oh, and you could ask Yuan Danqiong more often."

The stunningly beautiful Sister Pomegranate is no exaggeration!
She was cast as the female lead in the ATV drama series "Vampire Expert" filmed last year, while the male lead and director was Uncle Nine.

According to Ah Ying, she seems to be pursuing Uncle Jiu!

Look at Uncle Nine, he's not exactly handsome, with a small nose and small eyes, but when he's serious, he really exudes a lot of dignity and righteousness.

So even with two children in tow, there are still beautiful women chasing after him!
On set, Sister Pomegranate thanked Summer for casting her as the female lead in "Vampire Expert." The show achieved good ratings, reversing the decline of fantasy films and allowing this genre to shine on television!
Summer provided an "outline" and asked the screenwriters here to try to create a "fantasy and supernatural universe"!
With multiple TV series interconnected, audience engagement will be high—the Ma family exorcising demons + Taoist Master Mao Xiaofang, is that a promising project?
IP addresses might be worth some money in the future.
After persuading Gong Huang, Xia Tian said no more and left humming a song. (From "Invincible Overlord Spear")

Everyone says I'm dashing, debonair, and an invincible master of the spear!
How could you know that my heart is wounded in emptiness?
Until I met the lovely girl, Sanxiao Qiuxiang~
The love in my heart has changed its appearance ever since.
......"

I don't know why, but this melody just popped into my head in the summer, and it's pretty catchy!
As a result, Stephen Chow, who had been paying close attention to the summer, immediately jumped in, "Brother Tian'er, this song is so good! Can it be used as a theme song for a movie? The production team will pay for it!"

Xia Tian looked completely bewildered: Huh? Is it good? Well, okay then? Forget about the money~
During the subsequent filming, Xia Tian visited the set several times, always bringing something – wishing everyone a good meal and drinks!
For the later filming, Brother Lek made a great sacrifice—in the scene where Zhu Zhishan asks for a painting, he was splashed with real ink all over his body, turning completely black, and it took him more than an hour to wash it clean.

Another actor, Vincent Kok, who was the screenwriter for the movie "All's Well, Ends Well," made a cameo appearance as the top scholar "Dui Chuan Chang" because he is a friend of Stephen Chow.

As a screenwriter with no acting experience, he ended up filming a scene where he vomited blood for two days.

After the filming was finished, his contact lenses were covered in red fake blood.

However, his performance in the later film "The God of Cookery" was outstanding - I, Tang Niu, am the real God of Cookery!

Oh, by the way, the popular slang term "Xiaoqiang" was coined unintentionally by Vincent Kok.

From then on, cockroaches had a new nickname~
Also, Leung Ka-yan, who played the "Martial Arts Champion," originally played Guo Jing in TVB's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and Qiao Feng in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils."

At that time, Stephen Chow only played the role of "Soldier A" in the film.

I never imagined the world would change so fast!

Summer happened to be visiting the set for the second time when the scene of the couplet contest in Washington was being filmed.

He even joked with Uncle Zhan and exchanged couplets.

Summer: "My savings of ten years, a total of 98,765 yuan, were spent at Four Seasons Massage for three days and two nights, and I'm broke!"

"Pfft~" Everyone who was having lunch at the scene burst out laughing!

……

My second visit to the set of "Flirting Scholar" was on March 17th.

That was also the last time I visited the set this summer, because filming for "Fist of Legend" started today!

The director and screenwriter is Gordon Chan, and the producer and male lead is Summer.

The second male lead is Chin Siu-ho. Last time, when we filmed "The Haunted Hong Kong", he was the male lead but didn't have many scenes. However, he still worked hard and put in a lot of effort. We had a very pleasant working relationship.

So I'll go to him again this time.

There are also several other important characters, such as the female lead, Mitsuko.

Because the Fist of Legend has undergone some changes and is more complex and thought-provoking than Bruce Lee's version, Chen Zhen was arranged to study in Japan.

The female lead, Mitsuko, is Chen Zhen's girlfriend whom he met while studying in Japan, and she can be described as very understanding and righteous.

After thinking it over, I decided to find a Japanese actress.

Otherwise, it would be really hard to find young actresses with the temperament of a Yamato Nadeshiko in Hong Kong!

To save time, Xia Tian directly told Chen Jiashang to send someone to Japan to find "Nakayama Miho's sister".

Chen Jiashang was taken aback. Miho Nakayama was one thing, after all, she was a famous actress and singer in Japan who had lived for seven or eight years. But what about her sister?

But Director Chen is a really smart man. He only hesitated for a moment before agreeing—"Brother Tian, ​​is something wrong?"

Could such a thing be kept secret from the company boss, Ah Ying?
So Ah Ying started "interrogating" Xia Tian: "Do you know that mountain ninja?"

She held Xia Tian's weakness in her hands: if he was lying, his heartbeat would definitely fluctuate, and she would notice it immediately!

Summer: I'm innocent!
Another female character in the drama, Xia Tian didn't cast either A Ying or Wang Fei.

She was, after all, a reformed prostitute, and there was no need for her to be paired with Chin Siu-ho's character.

Just have someone find young and beautiful women in Hong Kong.

Then the production team brought in the actress, Char Siu Fen~
Was she dumped by the wealthy tycoon Liu at this point?
It can be considered that I have escaped from the sea of ​​suffering.

Speaking of Hong Kong actresses, several of them were betrayed by their parents. For example, Char Siu Fun was one such example—her mother was a gambler who sent her to Lau, which can be described as selling her daughter.

Anita Mui's mother and brother were quite an oddball too!

As for the main villain, robot Fujita Tsuyoshi, he would naturally have to find Billy Chow!

He was a professional fighter and had been working in the Hong Kong film industry for several years.

He has appeared in films such as "Miracle", "High Risk", "The Adventurers", and Stephen Chow's "God of Gamblers II".

He's easier to find.

Meanwhile, the Black Dragon Society's head instructor, Japanese martial arts master Funakoshi Fumio, chose Kurata Yasuaki from the original timeline...

Set off firecrackers, worship Guan Gong, unveil the red cloth, and start the fight!
