Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 163 Although I am approachable and naturally beautiful
In China, around the 1990s, it was very popular among middle school students to recognize each other as godbrothers or godsisters.

In the entertainment industry, it's common for people to have godfathers.

When Cao Jian introduced Li Xiaoran, he said she was his younger sister from his hometown. He didn't really think much of it; it was just a random excuse.

I never expected this girl would actually want to be my god-sister.

But thinking about it, it's understandable. She was willing to come to Hong Kong with me, so having a godbrother would probably bring us closer.

He immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll protect you from now on."

"Thank you, brother."

Li Xiaoran immediately changed her tune, and a bright smile appeared on her usually melancholy face, sweeping away all her sadness.

"Actually, you look better when you smile more."

"Ah."

Li Xiaoran obediently agreed, really wanting to lean on this newly recognized older brother, but she just didn't dare.

Two days later, they filmed the scene where the Green Snake and Fahai fought in the water.

"I know I should keep my distance from you, so please have mercy and let me go."

In the clear pool below the waterfall, Cao Jian stood on the water, suspended by wires. Zhang Manyu's Green Snake pressed her face against Cao Jian's calf, gently stroking it.

"Huh? How dare you!"

Cao Jian's expression changed; his imposing presence, though not angry, frightened the green snake into retreating hastily.

Although I still enjoyed the feeling from just now.

"Snake demon, I need your help in my cultivation."

"To help you in your cultivation?"

"If you can disrupt my composure, I can let you go."

Although Zhang Manyu has already won the Best Actress award, Cao Jian held his own against her in this scene.

"Okay, let's give it a try. But I don't have much self-control. I'm afraid I'll panic before you do."

Zhang Manyu, with a charming demeanor, lightly tapped Cao Jian's calf with her fingers.

From this perspective, her acting skills are truly impressive; she can be both alluring and innocent.

However, Cao Jian didn't actually have any feelings for Zhang Manyu, who was also very beautiful. He just thought she was a good actress, but if Wang Zuxian had played this role, he probably would have been confused.

Fahai sat firmly on the rock, while the flowing water washed away the Green Snake's clothes.
In this scene, Xu Ke's lighting and shot composition are truly beautiful.

The green snake coiled around Fahai, using various temptations, and the two almost kissed.

On set, Cao Jian's assistant, Li Xiaoran, covered her eyes again, but peeked through her fingers to learn.

This movie is so embarrassing to watch, but Zhang Manyu's performance is so feminine.

The young girl felt that her previous understanding had been shattered; she never imagined that making movies could be so daring.

In front of the camera.

"I never imagined my first man would be you. It's just a pity that neither of us possesses mortal emotions."

The alluring Zhang Manyu hugged Cao Jian from behind, whispering in his ear—something most people couldn't resist.

Then, it clung to a black snake's tail and frolicked in the water.

And this black snake tail belongs to Fahai.

Sure enough, in the end, the spring water boiled, and Fahai burst open.

"You lost to me."

"I won't lose to you! You monster!"

Fahai was furious and smashed his whisk into the water.

I remember when Cao Jian first watched this movie, he really didn't understand this part.

Later I understood what boiling water meant.

It turns out that Tsui Hark's metaphors are so powerful.

The old monster truly lives up to his name.

When filming this scene, Tsui Hark had very high standards for lighting and shadows, showing that he really wanted to make a good movie.

Cao Jian learned a lot during this filming process.

Tsui Hark is still very serious about making movies and won't be swayed by capital.

During the subsequent filming, Cao Jian often watched Wang Zuxian act whenever he had free time, and he didn't shy away from admiring her performance.

"Sister, hehe, Fahai probably has his eye on you."

Even Zhang Manyu could see through Cao Jian's gaze.

"This Fahai."

Wang Zuxian was also helpless. It seemed that Cao Jian's purpose in inviting him back to Taiwan was not pure.

Although Qi Qin clearly didn't want to marry her, Cao Jian was talented in many ways, but he was a bit too young, much younger than her.

It seems I'm just too good.

Wang Zuxian really didn't know how to persuade Cao Jian if he really liked him.
After filming this segment, the grand scene of the flooding of Jinshan Temple quickly followed. This segment was also filmed in a studio. Although a lot of water was used, the actual filming effect was mediocre; it would have been better to add some special effects.

Unfortunately, special effects are too expensive now. If we add all the special effects, the budget will probably be exceeded.

Although this scene effectively conveyed Xu Ke's ideas about desire and humanity, it actually fell short in terms of the audience's viewing experience.

The acting of all the main actors in this movie was quite good, and the filming was completed very quickly.

All of Fahai's scenes were filmed by mid-June.

According to the plan, Cao Jian should go to Taiwan to film "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber". The filming of this drama is scheduled to start in early July.

“Sister Zuxian, you have one more week to finish filming. I’ll wait for you. Let’s go to Taiwan together.”

After filming, Cao Jian certainly didn't forget his business with Wang Zuxian.

Moreover, I just finished recording "Hungry Wolf Legend" this week.

"Actually, if you're in a hurry, you don't need to wait for me."

Wang Zuxian had already realized that this young boy seemed to have other motives towards her.

Cao Jian laughed and said, "We agreed to travel together, and I don't want to miss this opportunity to be accompanied by a beautiful woman."

That look seemed to say, "I like you, and I won't give up until I get what I want."

"That"

Wang Zuxian really wanted to ask, "You always stare at me with wide eyes, does that mean you like me?"
Although I am approachable and naturally beautiful, pheasant
No, it seems this young and handsome director isn't a pheasant, nor is he a phoenix.

She could only agree, "Okay, then let's go together after I finish filming this movie."

After agreeing on a time with Wang Zuxian, Cao Jian, having finished filming, left the crew and returned to PolyGram to record a song.

"Good morning, Li Ming."

The next day, Cao Jiangang arrived at PolyGram and saw Li Ming chatting with several colleagues.

"Cao Jian, long time no see. I heard you're going to Taiwan to film a TV series?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"With your status, why would you even bother making TV dramas?"

Li Ming meant well, of course. After all, Cao Jian was already a film director, and directing TV series, a small-screen production, would be beneath him.

"It's just a hobby, it has nothing to do with money."

If Cao Jian really wanted to make money, his VCD business, magazine business, clothing business, and milk tea business combined have already brought in more than 200 million yuan in revenue.

This doesn't even include the profits of film and television companies.

But he just loves taking photos, loves acting, loves the feeling of being in front of the camera, and loves meeting beautiful women on set.

It really has nothing to do with money.

He didn't want to talk about that topic and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"We were just saying that after Beyond left PolyGram, they actually went to Japan to develop their careers and are even releasing a Japanese album. Everyone is saying that this is Beyond's manager deliberately trying to embarrass PolyGram and the Hong Kong music scene."

"You went to Japan?"

Upon hearing the news, Cao Jian, a fan of Huang Jiaju, suddenly realized that it seemed there were only eight days left since the accident.

Although I had arranged to go to Taiwan with Wang Zuxian a week later.

But if that accident could be prevented
"You guys go ahead with your work, I'm going to record the song."

Cao Jian didn't even need to make a choice; he immediately decided to buy a ticket to fly to Japan five days later.

While filming, Cao Jian also took some time to record part of the album "Hungry Wolf Legend". Now that filming is over, he has spent almost every day for the next three days at PolyGram and his own film and television company.

As for "Too Softhearted," he plans to record it in the second half of the year.

The sequel to "Fong Sai-yuk," which was filmed in March, is scheduled for release in late July.

After recording the Cantonese album, it was already June 20th, just four days away from the accident that took Huang Jiaju's life.

"Sister Zuxian, I have some urgent business to attend to in Japan, so I won't be able to wait for you."

Before leaving, Cao Jian called me, Wang Zuxian.

"You're going to Japan?"

Wang Zuxian breathed a sigh of relief. It would be best if you went to Japan, so that this little guy wouldn't be thinking about you.

She immediately said, "Then be careful on your way."

"Okay, thank you. I'll contact you again when I get to Taiwan."

Although Cao Jian was going to rescue Huang Jiaju, he still had to pursue Wang Zuxian.

The next day, Cao Jian entrusted Li Xiaoran to Yuan Jieying, asking her to take the girl to Taiwan Province in a few days.

I trust Yuan Jieying completely; she's one of my own.

Although Li Xiaoran was reluctant to leave Cao Jian, she had no choice but to obey when she heard that her godbrother had important business in Japan.

"It all depends on human effort. Whether things can be changed depends on this!"

On the plane, Cao Jian looked at the island nation getting closer and closer, thought of his idol, and clenched his fist.
