This actor has something

Chapter 171 Change of Mind

He Daqi felt that Zhou Xingxing's proposal was outrageous without even entering the door.

Zhou Huimin had told him all the bad things that Zhou Xingxing had done.

Not to mention the Hong family troupe who are still in the crew of Shanghai Beach, let’s just talk about the past. This big brother even brought investors over to make a cameo appearance.

The script writers were also often bullied by him. Not only did he change the scripts every day, he even dragged the script writers to play supporting roles.

It just so happened that He Daqi watched Kung Fu in the film library recently. It is a good movie, but it is probably not easy to shoot, especially the supporting roles in it, none of them are suitable for He Daqi.

If He Daqi were asked to make a cameo appearance, the only role he could think of that fits his role would probably be the man with gold-rimmed glasses who slapped Stephen Chow in the face on the bus.

If that's the case...it's not impossible!

He Daqi pushed the door open and found that in addition to Zhou Xingxing, the two directors, three assistant directors, a bunch of screenwriters, producers, Jiang Wen, and Zhou Huimin of the Shanghai Bund crew were all there.

He Daqi looked at Jiang Wen with disdain, and his meaning was easy to understand: What are you doing here?

This guy would often change his lines during filming. Some of them were adopted, and some were not. The ones that were not adopted were basically because Lao Tian felt they were inappropriate and rejected them with one word. Jiang Wen did not argue with him. He just enjoyed improving the characters. Sometimes when Lao Tian was sleepy, he would help hold the camera.

What He Daqi didn't expect was that when the main creators behind the crew were discussing the plot, Jiang Wen would also be here.

"Qi Zai, you came at the right time. Tell me if you would like to make a guest appearance in my crew. We are both filming in Shanghai. You are the boss in the TV series, and when you come to my crew, I will arrange for you to be the boss in the movie as well." Zhou Xingxing smiled and waved to He Daqi, bringing He Daqi back to his senses.

Be the boss?

He Daqi thought about who the bosses in the Kung Fu plot were. It seemed that one was Feng Kuzi's "who else", and the other was Big Black Tooth from the Axe Gang. Based on what he heard outside the door just now, he should not be asked to play the role of Feng Kuzi's "who else", so it can only be Big Black Tooth from the Axe Gang.

"No, I won't paint my teeth black." He Daqi refused without hesitation.

"How did you know I wanted you to get black teeth?" Zhou Xingxing asked in surprise. After asking, he felt that He Daqi's rejection was too straightforward, so he persuaded him again: "If you don't want to get black teeth, I can change it. I can even get gold teeth."

He Daqi imagined it and thought it was an ugly rejection!

He quickly shook his head.

However, Stephen Chow was so enthusiastic, and since he had actually made a cameo appearance before, He Daqi suggested, "Master Xing, I heard you have a scene where you get beaten up on a bus. Did you film that? I could come in and play the guy with the gold-rimmed glasses."

"The filming is over... You seem quite concerned about me. You not only know about Big Black Teeth but also the guy with gold-rimmed glasses."

He Daqi smiled innocently, with a simple look on his face, and did not explain.

Too bad no one in the room believed his smile anymore.

Zhou Xingxing found that he couldn't convince He Daqi, so he turned to look at Zhou Huimin and said, "Little Jew, I know your scene here is about to be wrapped, and now we are filming closely with you. Kai Zai doesn't have scenes every day. We can discuss it. After all, they are close, so let him run back and forth between the two crews."

Zhou Huimin looked at him amusedly and asked softly, "You seem to care about our crew too?"

"We're so close, we're neighbors. Like we said before, we'll see each other sooner or later." Zhou Xingxing smiled and spread his hands. "Let's discuss this. At least the two directors have to rehearse Daqi's scenes, and then he can make a cameo appearance when he's free, right?" Zhou Huimin said after a moment's thought.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore." Zhou Xingxing smiled and stood up while walking out. When he walked to Er Dongsheng, he suddenly put his hands together and said to Er Dongsheng, "Director Er, please help me." After that, he turned and walked out.

Er Dongsheng chuckled and shook his head.

At this time, Zhou Huimin also stood up and walked out. Seeing this, He Daqi greeted everyone in the room, then went out with Zhou Huimin and got into the nanny car.

"Why don't you just help me push it? Running back and forth between two crews, isn't that a disruption to the production?" He Daqi asked as he got in the car.

"The movie Kung Fu... if you're willing to act in it, you'd better do it. If our Shanghai Bund happened to catch a good time, this one would be similar. Huanyu also wanted to invest at that time, but the scale was a bit too big. While we were still hesitating, it was taken away by foreign countries. Huanyu only got a small share." Zhou Huimin explained softly.

Wang Rui turned around, looked at He Daqi and said seriously:

"Da Qi, if you can, you'd better act. Stephen Chow is very good at making comedies. Although I don't know how this movie is, his movies have a very high standard in Hong Kong. No matter how bad it is, he can still cover it.

You have a good reputation now, and you have also demonstrated your box office potential with Infernal Affairs 2. From now on, you just need to continue to take on scripts like Kung Fu Hustle that can provide a solid foundation and proceed steadily."

"Brother Rui, instead of studying investment, you are studying my flower road. It really makes me feel overwhelmed." He Daqi said jokingly.

Wang Rui smiled bitterly and pointed at He Daqi: "You kid!" Then he turned around and left without explaining anything else.

What He Daqi didn't expect was that He Bing also came to persuade him to take the role the next day.

He Daqi was really confused. He looked at He Bing in surprise and asked, "Uncle, what do you have to do with this?"

"Feng Kuazi told me. I felt strange when you didn't agree on the spot, so I came to ask you." He Bing said vaguely while eating.

The food at Shanghai Beach is really good, and the crew doesn't need to give face to others. They were invited by Shanghai to shoot, and there are people who specialize in handling troubles, so the food was not subcontracted to outsiders. The crew directly booked a small restaurant and hired their own chef.

"Then your message is late. I agreed that very night." He Daqi said with a smile.

Ok?
Now it was He Bing's turn to look at He Daqi in surprise. "Feng Kuazi called me just this morning. How could he not know since you promised him last night? Huayi is one of the investors and has a producer on the crew. They'll know immediately when the actors are signed."

He Daqi touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "Well, it's okay. I agreed in my heart, but I haven't told them yet."

"You're taking advantage of your uncle, aren't you? I see you're getting poorer and poorer."

He Daqi chuckled, didn't say anything back, and just kept eating like crazy. He finished it soon, took the empty lunch box and threw it in the trash can, then washed his hands and strolled out of the crew.

He wants to go and take a look at the Kung Fu crew next door.

He watched the movie again last night and changed his mind immediately and decided to take this role. The main reason was that he wanted to do an experiment, and the secondary reason was that he was curious about how those special effects shots were shot. It shouldn't be a full green screen cutout, so he wanted to join the crew to take a look.
