How did I become famous?
What will Chapter 66 be about?
"Hey boss, I'm just dropping by again."
Fang Bie observed carefully that after staying indoors for the past few days, most of the reporters and onlookers outside had already dispersed.
Of course, the Su Group also deserves credit for this.
Yan Shuangying directly conveyed the boss's message: anyone who interferes with the lives of Fang Mu's company staff will have their media outlet shut down.
The Su Group is just that powerful and invincible.
Upon arriving at the nail salon, Fang Bie raised an eyebrow.
Because besides the boss, Yoshikage Kira, there was another unexpected figure here—police officer Chen Yongren.
"Hey boss, with this movie being such a hit, why are you still holed up here running your nail salon? You don't actually like women's hands, do you?"
There's absolutely no problem casting him as Kira.
Kira smiled wryly, "Director Fang, please don't make fun of me. I've had quite a few offers to act lately, but... well, it's a long story."
Fang Bie casually pulled up a chair and sat down: "What, are you being asked to play a Japanese soldier again?"
"I don't get as many offers to play Japanese soldiers anymore, but I've received quite a few offers to play traitors or Japanese officers, and many TV dramas... have offered me to play super Japanese soldiers. It's not that I dislike TV dramas, it's just that they want to replicate your style, Director Fang, but because of insufficient funding, the scenes... I turned them down."
Fang Bie twitched the corner of his mouth.
TV series... could it be a "divine drama"?
It turns out I started a trend of "divine dramas".
But thinking about it carefully, if you remake "Captain America" into a Chinese TV series, and then deduct more than 95% of the costs...
It really does seem to be a "masterpiece".
However, the fact that Yoshikage Kira hasn't taken on any new films has its advantages for the other party as well; at least he doesn't have to worry about Yoshikage Kira's schedule.
"Boss, I have a new movie, but we're short of a lead actor. What do you think?"
Kira Yoshikage hesitated, "Japanese soldiers or traitors?"
"What, the Japanese soldiers and the traitorous boss don't want to act?"
"No, no," Yoshikage Kira waved his hand. "I'd probably decline other people's offers, but I'll definitely act in Director Fang's film! I'll take any role you ask me to play!"
In Yoshikage Kira's eyes, Fang Bie was the benefactor in his life.
Originally, he was just a down-on-his-luck drifter from Japan.
No one offered him acting roles, and the senior actor who brought him there abandoned him to avoid offending anyone, so he could only barely make ends meet by working at this nail salon.
But since playing the villain in the movie "Fang Bie," especially after the movie became a hit, he has completely turned his career around.
Actually, he wasn't telling the truth just now.
Besides the movies and TV series he mentioned, he also received offers from several decent production teams, but he rejected them all.
Although he was Japanese, after living and working in China for several years, he also came to understand a principle.
One must never forget one's roots.
Therefore, he did not plan to accept any new film contracts until he received news from Fang Bie.
Anyway, he doesn't have an agent.
In fact, he also had his own ulterior motives.
In his view, Fang Bie was destined to be a figure who would shake up the future of the film industry. Even playing a small role in Fang Bie's film would be better than playing the lead role in other films.
So he kept waiting, believing that Fang Bie wouldn't just make one movie and then quit.
And the fact that Fang Bie came to see him today clearly shows that he made the right bet.
Fang didn't care about his little schemes; he just felt it was really cool to have the real Kira Yoshikage from this parallel world play his modified version of Kira.
He even specially preserved Kira Yoshikage's famous lines for this purpose.
He found a little bit of fun in a poorly made film that only he could understand, which was also a small pleasure for him to pass the time during the boring and tedious filming process.
Thinking of this, he lit a cigarette and leisurely exhaled a puff of smoke: "Don't worry, this time it's neither Japanese soldiers nor traitors."
He smiled slightly: "This time you're playing a psychopath, the kind of psychopathic killer with a hand fetish."
Kira Yoshikage: "..."
He has mixed feelings right now.
It's obvious that this role was tailor-made for him, after all, he owns a nail salon.
He was truly touched that Fang Bieneng remembered him so well.
But... the perversion of hand fetishism...
He was wondering if it would be better to close the nail salon.
"Just give me a straight answer, do you want to act or not?"
"Act! Why not act!"
So what if he's a pervert? At least if he plays a pervert well, he can win an award!
But there's still a problem...
"Director Fang, but I've never played a psychopath before, I don't know how to act like one."
The psychopaths in movies generally fall into two categories.
One type has a strange appearance, and their actions and expressions tend to be in a crazy direction.
Another indicator is the eyes. If someone's eyes are crazy, it's hard for them not to be a pervert.
Yoshikage Kira had certainly seen those movies and TV dramas where actors played psychopaths, but he wasn't confident he could do it well.
After all, he was just a "Japanese soldier" back then.
How should Japanese soldiers be portrayed in TV dramas?
"Yo-shi! Get to work, pretty girl!" That's all.
Even in "Captain China", he only played the stern and unsmiling master of Yan Shuangying.
The audience was drawn to this new genre, the cool special effects and editing, and didn't really care much about the acting...
Fang patted him on the shoulder to reassure him: "It's okay, just play yourself."
This role was tailor-made for him.
What are the distinctive features of Yoshikage Kira?
He's a psychopath, yet also a strange ordinary person.
He doesn't like to attract attention.
When he is criticized by his boss, he will bow and apologize alone over the phone.
If I were to give him a rating, "surprisingly ordinary" would be a fair assessment.
But that's where the horror lies.
His expression was ordinary, his movements were ordinary, and even the words he spoke were ordinary.
But when you combine all of these, and then add to the series of murders he committed, it creates a powerful effect.
It would be hard for this person not to become a pervert.
Playing himself... Yoshikage Kira smiled wryly: "Director Fang, what kind of image do you really have of me?"
"Hmm..." Fang Bie thought for a moment, "An ordinary nail salon owner who likes hands? By the way, the character you're playing also owns a shop in the movie, but it's a video store. Maybe changing it to a nail salon would be better?"
"No, please..." Yoshikage Kira decided to struggle a little longer.
If they really do that, who would dare to get their nails done at his shop in the future?
"What are you afraid of? We have the officers here." Fang Bie turned around and handed Chen Yongren a cigarette. "Right, Officer Chen?"
Chen Yongren took the eye drops and, upon hearing this, a hint of helplessness appeared in his melancholy eyes: "Don't call me Chen sir anymore, I've already resigned."
"Huh? Why?"
"The organization wanted me to go on a business trip, but I wanted to stay in Hengdian, so I simply resigned."
"Business trip? Where to? Are you going to be stationed there permanently?"
"Abroad, I was seconded to the criminal investigation team as an undercover agent, but I resigned, so they'll probably find someone else."
"An undercover agent..." Fang Bie said with a serious expression, "This resignation is perfectly justified."
Otherwise, it will really be another three years after three years.
"I don't know if there's anything wrong with me, but I'm an old man, so I might as well try to pursue my dream." Chen Yongren laughed. "Speaking of which, it was my senior and Director Fang's movies that gave me motivation. My senior was a bodyguard for more than ten years, but after becoming an actor, his first movie was a huge hit, which made me have some ideas too. So I simply quit my job and helped out at Boss Kira's place first, while also trying my luck at the film studio."
He didn't say anything more, and naturally, the result wasn't good.
He graduated from school many years ago.
My former classmates either became celebrities or changed careers long ago.
There's no need to mention those who changed careers, but those classmates who became stars... haha, he went to see them, but their agents completely ignored him. In the end, he didn't even get their phone numbers.
Opportunities are earned through hard work.
People always say that so-and-so is lucky, and if it were me, I would have been just as lucky.
Everyone has countless opportunities, but you might not be prepared to let one slip away, while someone else is prepared to seize it.
Are you going to blame them for seizing the opportunity?
Just like in Fang Bie's previous life, there were so many people who drifted to Hengdian and Beijing, so why did only one Baoqiang emerge?
Now, Chen Yongren's opportunity has arrived.
He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Director Fang, could you give me a chance? I..."
He gritted his teeth and, under Yoshikage Kira's encouraging gaze, said, "I want to act in movies!"
Seeing that Fang didn't speak, he hurriedly said, "Director Fang, I just need one chance! Any nameless, insignificant role will do! I just beg you to give me a chance!"
Fang Bie was taken aback for a moment, then slowly said, "That's it? No problem. This is a dual-male lead drama, you can act opposite Boss Kira."
Now it was Chen Yongren's turn to be dumbfounded: "Huh? Director Fang, isn't this a bit too casual?"
He's someone who hasn't been involved in the film and television industry since graduation, yet he's directly cast as the lead in other movies... isn't that a bit unreliable?
He felt that Fang Bie was joking with him.
"It's not casual at all." Fang Bie smiled slightly. "My other lead role has been decided."
This is his last film, and he doesn't mind giving Chen Yongren a hand.
For the sake of him being Chen Yongren.
Moreover, there's a bit of Infernal Affairs plot in this heavily modified version of the movie, so there's nothing wrong with that.
P.S.: I was out running errands tonight and didn't get home until midnight, so I quickly wrote this chapter.
Here are 2800 words. I'm going to continue writing the second chapter.
