Huayu 93, I'm the ceiling of combat power from the moment I appear.

Chapter 146 The best youth film in history, ruining the Jade Girl Leader

Yesterday, I watched a movie called "Sex Is Zero".

"At first, I thought it was a movie about Buddhism, and many people have heard of the verses in the Heart Sutra."

"Shariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form; form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Sensation, perception, volition, and consciousness are also like this."

"Furthermore, this movie was directed by Xi Zai, who played a monk in 'Tai Chi Master,' so I thought it was also a period martial arts film about a monk."

"But once I entered the movie theater, I realized I had been tricked."

"This isn't a kung fu movie; it's a pure comedy. The only action scene is a head-smashing hammer!"

"It's hard to imagine that someone would use their head to smash a hammer, even if they're bleeding profusely, and refuse to go to the hospital for treatment."

"And the reason he did this was simply because of a girl, even though that girl didn't love him, laughed at him, teased him, and hurt him!"

"She even got pregnant with another man's child."

"However, he still gave everything for her without hesitation, doing countless absurd things, even risking his life, simply because—"

"That was his most sincere and beautiful love!"

"After watching the movie, I couldn't calm down for a long time. I couldn't help but think of Ah Ying from my student days."

"Back then—"

"Unfortunately, back then, I wasn't able to be as selfless and risk my life for her as Xiaochun was, and ultimately I couldn't protect my love!"

"And you? Do you have someone like Ah Ying, for whom you'd risk your life?"

"How is your Ah Ying doing now?"

"If you were Ying, would your Xiaochun be with you right now?"

This advertorial, signed "Spring Whispers," wasn't particularly moving; the language wasn't very ornate, and the writing style wasn't very refined.

It can be said that it was devoid of any skill, relying entirely on emotion.

However, this emotionally charged article was discredited because it was published in Ming Pao, a prestigious print media outlet, and because some other media professionals followed suit after receiving payment for their work.

This immediately sparked a heated discussion.

How is your Ah Ying doing?

-

Is your little Chun by your side?

Many people, whether actively or passively, participated in this great discussion, reminiscing about their own foolish youth and missing the Ah Ying and Xiao Chun of the past.

Some of them couldn't resist coming directly to the door.

Although a large portion of them were beaten up by the other party's husband.

However, there are also lucky ones who relive their old dreams, or even get their wishes fulfilled.

Sharing these people's stories instantly sparked a lot of interest in the movie "Sex Is Zero".

Some enthusiasts have even crowned "Sex Is Zero" as the best coming-of-age film ever!

As a result, the box office, which should have been declining gradually, actually rebounded on the Sunday of the second week.

It directly contributed to the film's total box office exceeding 1200 million!

Moreover, once the buzz started, the box office performance in the third week was also very strong, taking in another 600 million yuan in a single week.

The total box office revenue over three weeks reached 1800 million.

With at least another week of screenings remaining, there's no doubt that the total box office will eventually surpass 2000 million.

More importantly, Yuan Jieying experienced a career resurgence thanks to this film.

She became the white moonlight in the hearts of countless people, just like Michelle Chen, who had just finished playing Shen Jiayi in the original timeline.

She's even more popular than Li Lizhen, who experienced a meteoric rise to fame last year.

After all, Li Lizhen's comeback was due to Xiu Bo, which has a tainted reputation.

Yuan Jieying's move, however, was thorough and clean.

They didn't give us either of the two benefits.

But many people just love her to death.

Yuan Jieying was so excited that He Xi couldn't sleep all night.

Unable to refuse their hospitality, and also kept grinding for task rewards.

He Xi has already accumulated a lot of "high-energy moments".

But just like making money, who would complain about earning too little?

He Xi was quite happy to see the numbers on the panel increase little by little.

"With grain in the granary, one has nothing to fear."

Even if he couldn't use all of this high-energy time, just looking at it, counting it, and feeling it every day would make him feel incredibly at ease.

He was once the son of a farmer, and he was terrified of poverty!

After taking care of the excited Yuan Jieying, He Xi also had to comfort Zhou Huimin, who was feeling a little wronged.

She had initially offered to star in "Sex Is Zero," but He Xi declined.

The reason is that the male lead in this movie is a sleazy and pathetic man, which He Xi herself cannot play, and she is even less willing to have Zhou Huimin play a couple with someone else in her movie.

Moreover, this was just a trial project for him; the script and technology were not yet mature. They could collaborate on a better project together in the future if given the opportunity.

Zhou Huimin believed it at the time.

As a result, Yuan Jieying became a sensation because of "Sex Is Zero," and she has received more than a dozen film offers, all of which are for her to play female students.

This shows how much this drama helped and improved her.

However, Vivian Chow missed out on a work that could have become her representative work.

Moreover, for He Xi's next movie, the female lead is a child, and Zhou Huimin is not being cast as the supporting actress.

This made her even more depressed.

He Xi never expected that "Sex Is Zero" would be such a box office hit.

Moreover, in his next film, the female lead is a little girl, and the supporting actress is a dancer, who is also a Taoist priestess—this is really inconsistent with Vivian Chow's innocent and pure image.

Wait a moment.

Since Vivian Chow has already released a dance track, playing a dancing girl should be no problem for her, right?

Just keep an eye on her and prevent her from actually engaging in those things in order to find the feeling.

But won't this cause the Jade Girl Leader to be ruined like Sister Pomegranate?

Zhou Huimin didn't care about any of that. She was willing to play a supporting role as long as she could act with He Xi.

After another night of peak performance, He Xi returned to the set of "Chungking Express".

Since Faye Wong lost her temper last time, Wong Jing-wen's requirements for filming have become much clearer than before.

It's no longer just repeating the same thing over and over again; at least it provides directions and requirements for improvement.

This naturally increased the shooting speed significantly.

He Xi didn't know if he was genuinely afraid that Wang Jingwen would drop out of the show, or if there was something wrong with the company, so he could only speed up the production to meet the deadline.

But no matter what, it's a good thing.

Being in a high-energy state allows He Xi to maintain efficient creative ability while filming the same scene, without accumulating irritability.

But he felt uneasy about wasting so much time.

He couldn't be happier to be spared all that trouble now.

Consequently, he put more effort into his performances, and even began to try to turn off his high-energy state and simply rely on his acting skills.

He was unwilling to waste his energy on Wong Kar-wai and only wanted to cheat his way through the film by using high-energy moments.

Now, I'm starting to think about giving it a try and working on my acting skills.

His transformation was quickly noticed by Wong Kar-wai.

"Huh? Xi-zai, your performance just now felt quite different from before."

"Keep this up, let's do one more take!"

He Xi: ? ? ?
