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

"Teacher He, why aren't you smiling?"

Liang Yongqi murmured for a long time, but He Xi showed no reaction on her face.

After a long while, she finally gave up, looking utterly defeated.

"Wasn't what I did funny? My classmates all thought it was hilarious!"

He Xi shook her head.

"No, it's not that what you did wasn't funny, it's just that I've received professional training; no matter how funny it is, I won't laugh!"

unless().

Leung Wing-ki immediately became interested.

"They even have special training for suppressing laughter? How do you train like that? Can you teach me?"

He Xi smiled and shook her head.

"Sorry, I'm here to give you an English lesson. That's a separate price!"

"Then I'll pay more!"

Liang Yongqi said urgently, but He Xi still shook her head.

"Sorry, I was hired by your mother, and your money is your mother's money. When you can earn your own money, come back to me to learn things other than English."

"Then, I can teach you anything you want to learn!"

Liang Yongqi fell silent, but a big idea suddenly popped into her little head.

She wants to make a lot of money in the future, so she asks He Xi to continue being her teacher, teaching her everything she's interested in, and ideally...

We could just buy Teacher He outright!

After the tutoring session, He Xi went to Zhong Liti's house again.

Then it's back to the storyline in Europe and America...

The next day, He Xi resumed her daily routine of visiting film sets.

After a night of adjustment, he was much calmer and no longer discouraged by yesterday's failure. He could even accept another day of failure today with equanimity.

He believed this situation wouldn't last long, and that he would definitely receive more recognition and opportunities after the release of "King of Destruction" and "Tai Chi Master".

After relaxing, He Xi's face also showed a relaxed smile.

Perhaps because guys who smile a lot are lucky, He Xi quickly landed a role.

Ren Tianchou is the fourth male lead, a supporting villain, in the movie "God of Gamblers II".

The male leads of this movie are Tony Leung and Tony Leung Ka-fai, and Eric Tsang plays a major supporting role.

The actresses are Sandra Ng, Chan Ka-ling (the original Happy Girl), Au King (the second runner-up of Miss Hong Kong 92), and Mak Ka-ki (the top five finalists of Miss Hong Kong 93).

The cast is impressive, but the movie, from its title and script to the actors' appearance and performances, has a distinctly knock-off feel.

Tony Leung's performance was incredibly exaggerated, and many of Tony Leung Ka-fai's looks weren't imitations, but direct copies of Stephen Chow's characters in "God of Gamblers".

Ultimately, the film was a disastrous failure during the 94 Spring Festival season, earning only 1400 million yuan at the box office, ranking last among the Spring Festival films, and directly causing the dissolution of Yonggao Cinema, one of the five major cinema chains at the time.

However, the success or failure of the movie's box office has little to do with He Xi.

He's at most the fourth male lead.

Making money from acting and making friends is enough.

I can't worry about that much.

The contract was signed quickly. The fee was still 3 yuan, and after commission, I would receive 6 yuan.

Before the release of "King of Destruction" and "Tai Chi Master", his net worth was already at this level.

The day after the interview, He Xi joined the film crew.

The director of "God of Gamblers II: The Final Chapter" is Peng Qihua, a middle-aged woman who, like Sister Zhen, is not particularly attractive or well-built.

However, appearances can be deceiving. Although this woman is not particularly attractive, she is quite capable.

In March of this year, her directorial debut, "Rose, Rose, I Love You," grossed 21.9 million yuan at the local box office, surpassing Stephen Chow's "The Mad Monk."

Afterwards, she transitioned into a producer, creating hit films such as Ashes of Time, Happy Together, In the Mood for Love, Chinese Odyssey 2002, and The Grandmaster.

At the same time, she was also one of the executive producers of the film "Prosperity" more than 30 years later.

It's clear that she has a very good relationship with Wong Kar-wai...

In the film crew, He Xi received her script.

As a supporting villain, he didn't have many scenes, mainly consisting of two important gambling scene at the beginning and end of the film.

Then there are some fragmented scenes of the villains' daily lives.

Sitting in a luxurious villa, enjoying a life of extravagance, he would occasionally receive messages from the main characters, and then send his men to deliver casualties to fill the gaps.

That's about it.

The entire filming period lasted about a month and a half.

He Xi only needs to stay on set for about a week.

This wasn't something he requested; it was arranged by the production crew.

The two gambling scene scenes were filmed together in one session, and the daily scenes were mostly filmed in one morning.

The film crew's shooting schedule just happened to be arranged together.

Before filming officially begins, He Xi needs to undergo a period of training.

This movie is a gambling film, and He Xi plays a villainous gambling expert, which requires scenes of playing poker and shaking dice.

He Xi doesn't need to actually learn gambling skills; as long as he can make a vague impression and pass muster on camera, that's enough.

"Your main character is just showing off!"

Director Peng Qihua looked at He Xi and said earnestly.

As mentioned earlier, this movie is a knock-off of "God of Gamblers," so the main characters' personalities are all similar to those of "God of Gamblers."

Tony Leung, Tony Leung Ka-fai, and Eric Tsang all had increasingly exaggerated expressions and bizarre actions.

Eric Tsang even dressed up as an old woman.

She wasn't pretending to be a mother.

His role, on the surface, is that of a wet nurse.

To highlight the comedic antics of the main characters, the villain He Xi needs to be as handsome and serious as possible.

This is how you create a greater comedic effect.

"Also, these are your co-stars and subordinates in the film. You'll have scenes together, so you can get to know them beforehand."

After leaving one actor behind, Peng Qihua turned and left to attend to matters concerning the lead actor.

Only He Xi and a girl who looked very young were left, staring at each other.

"Hello, my name is He Xi, you can call me A Xi!"

He Xi, being the male, was the first to introduce himself.

The girl opposite him spoke up, a little awkwardly.

"My name is Mai Jiaqi. You should have heard of me, right?"

He Xi had naturally heard of the name Mai Jiaqi, and not from the original timeline.

Just recently, in the 93 Miss Hong Kong pageant.

18-year-old Mai Jiaqi, with her mature and elegant appearance and stunning figure, has become a hot favorite and is poised to win the championship.

However, right after she made it into the top five, nude photos of her that she had been tricked into taking three years earlier by her teacher were exposed.

This caused Maggie Siu's image to plummet instantly, ultimately preventing her from even reaching the top five and handing the championship to Mok Ho-yan, thus cementing Mok's reputation as the "ugliest Miss Hong Kong."

In this timeline, He Xi happened to have seen the other party's explicit art photos.

Have to admit.

This little girl is quite young, but she looks much older than her age...
