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

Chapter 147 Preparing for the Award? Victory Celebration Banquet and the Subordinate's Beautiful Wife

When He Xi typed "???", it wasn't that he had a problem, but rather that it felt like Wong Kar-wai had a problem.

In the previous performances, he was in a high-energy state and perfectly executed the emotions and movements in every performance.

Wong Kar-wai simply made him repeat it over and over again, his eyes behind his sunglasses showing no emotion.

Now that I've shed my high-energy state and acted out according to my own ideas and abilities, I've actually managed to elicit an expression from the other person?

What does that mean?

Am I now so good that my acting in my normal state is better than my acting in a high-energy state?

Wang Jingwen, who was standing nearby, also came over at this moment.

"Xi-zai, that scene just now, you made me feel very comfortable, I don't know why, it just felt very comfortable."

"I'm not saying your acting was bad, it's just—"

"Oh, I don't know how to express it, but it feels really comfortable!"

He Xi couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Listen to this yourself, what kind of rabid and inhuman words are these?

What did I do to you that makes you feel so good?

Since the last time the two of them made a pinky promise in the car and only scratched the surface, they haven't had a chance to really investigate further.

Moreover, Wang Jingwen never again took the initiative to approach or even flirt with He Xi as she had before.

He Xi was left wondering whether it was her finger technique that day that was wrong and made her dissatisfied, or whether she could last for half a month on a single charge.

Does fast charging count?

However, Wang Jingwen wasn't in a hurry, and He Xi was even less so.

He's so busy every day that he's thinking of finding a time management master to learn from, and his current skills are already sufficient, so he's not in such a hurry to beat up the other party.

However, He Xi quickly guessed the problem.

When he's in a high-energy state, whether he's acting or making movements, he can do a great job, even perfectly, with every shot and every micro-expression.

But it is precisely this perfection that makes his performance feel less than perfect.

Simply put, in his high-energy state, he's an infallible robot; he acts very well, but he lacks a soul.

While his acting may have flaws, it is genuine and human in his everyday life.

This is what made Wong Jing-wen's sunglasses light up and made her feel comfortable.

"So, we can't just rely on high-energy moments to slack off anymore; we need to genuinely hone our regular acting skills!"

He Xi muttered to herself, and then began her usual performance.

But when he actually used his normal acting skills to experience the filming process, he suddenly realized that this movie was actually quite good.

Although the dialogue is somewhat affected and melodramatic, it can feel different if you put yourself in the shoes of that self-important urban bourgeois character.

Because they're just bored and have nothing better to do; they like to seek a sense of existence that doesn't exist.

You could say that this feeling and mindset are too far removed from the average person, and out of touch with reality.

However, it cannot be denied that some people genuinely enjoy this kind of style.

In particular, the judges of major film awards.

So Wong Kar-wai's movies aren't bad, they just don't suit the general public's aesthetic.

However, he is really suited to winning awards.

For He Xi to truly become a star, awards are an essential component.

Since Wong Kar-wai has changed his approach and has the ability to win awards, let's work well together with him.

We'll talk about the future later.

As He Xi began to use her normal acting style, she naturally made more mistakes, and the filming progress slowed down considerably.

Wong Kar-wai was happy to see the footage that had been shot, but he also started to feel anxious as he looked at the extended release schedule and the amount of money lost.

They no longer dared to use exhaustive search methods in filmmaking.

Fortunately, He Xi quickly got into Police Officer 663 mode, and the progress began to speed up.

Another week later, after five weeks and a total of 32 days in theaters, "Sex Is Zero" finally came off the screens.

The final box office gross was 2350 million.

This is another successful romance film, following last year's "New Endless Love" and this year's Lunar New Year release "Shaolin Popeye".

Moreover, in the recently announced nominations for the 94 Hong Kong Film Awards, "C'est la vie, mon chéri" garnered a total of 12 nominations.

Countless filmmakers exclaimed that the spring of Hong Kong romance films has arrived!

In a short period of time, many romance films were put into production, including many youth films that imitated "Sex Is Zero".

However, none of this has anything to do with He Xi for the time being.

All he knew was that the movie, which he invested 300 million but actually made with just over 200 million, grossed 2350 million at the local box office.

Even after deducting filming costs and marketing expenses, the box office revenue from Hong Kong alone could net a profit of over 700 million.

Moreover, with the huge box office success in Hong Kong, people from Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and even Japan and South Korea have approached him to discuss copyright issues.

This wave of copyright sales will conservatively bring in six or seven million.

That's equivalent to a movie making over 1300 million!

Moreover, the entire process from filming to the end of screenings takes no more than four months.

On average, the monthly income exceeds 300 million!

No wonder so many people want to get into the entertainment industry; the money is just too easy to make!

After making money, it's natural to celebrate.

Let's have a celebration party for "Form is Emptiness"!

All the actors in the production crew who had time accepted the invitation to attend.

Chen Xiaochun, Zhang Jiahui, and others, as heroes, were asked to bring their families to celebrate together and share in the joy of the movie.

At the celebration banquet, He Xi, as the director and investor, naturally gave generous red envelopes to all the contributors.

The male and female leads each receive 100,000.

Supporting roles earn between 10,000 and 50,000 yuan.

Some key staff members also received red envelopes.

Photographer and assistant director Liu Weiqiang won the highest red envelope of the night, 150,000 yuan.

It was bigger than the red envelopes given to the male and female leads.

In this wave, He Xi spent nearly one million yuan just on giving out red envelopes!

It's not that he has money to burn, but rather that he's spending lavishly on trivial matters.

He wanted all the frustrated filmmakers in Hong Kong to know that he, Ho Hei, was a good boss who could use new talent, dared to use new talent, and did not mistreat new talent.

Let those who are frustrated and unfulfilled, or those with ambitions who want to soar to the sky, know that [Jinxi Entertainment] is a place where they can realize their ambitions.

His first target was Liu Weiqiang.

This is the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Director who will create the "Young and Dangerous" universe, direct the Hong Kong film with the strongest special effects, "The Storm Riders," and the Hong Kong film savior, "Infernal Affairs."

By accepting the other party's offer, his film empire will have a crucial cornerstone.

Upon seeing the 150,000 yuan red envelope, Liu Weiqiang's expression couldn't help but change.

Although he didn't immediately bow down in worship, He Xi knew that this first step was already half successful.

At the subsequent celebration banquet, He Xi began to frequently clink glasses and interact with the actors.

I also made some new friends.

for example----

"Boss, this is my girlfriend, Ah He!"

He Xi's eyes lit up immediately.

This subordinate's wife is quite pretty!
