Entertainment News: You gain half of your ex-girlfriend's abilities after breaking up!

Since finishing filming Kung Fu Hustle, Stephen Chow has actually shifted his work focus to mainland China.

Of course, when he's not filming, he spends most of his time on Hong Kong Island.

The Journey to the West: Demon Extermination is still in preparation, so Mingbei still has to go to Hong Kong Island to see him.

In terms of influence, Stephen Chow's popularity among the general public is probably among the highest right now.

Even among the younger generation, none can surpass her!

In his previous life, although Mingbei was from Guangdong Province, he had never actually met Stephen Chow in person.

So, if he has the chance this time, he would like to go and see this legend.

"If your system allowed me to split things in half with a friend after a falling out, wouldn't that be much more useful to me?"

On the way, Mingbei was secretly complaining about the breakup system.

He felt that if he could share half of his wealth and abilities with each new friend he broke up with, he would probably grow up quickly.

If he gets more people to run it, his abilities and wealth will skyrocket!

Unfortunately, this system is only for female couples and will not be used by ordinary friends who have broken up.

Upon arriving in Hong Kong, Mingbei casually sent a message to Liu Xinyou to let her know that he had arrived there.

Then we took a car to Stephen Chow's office on Hong Kong Island.

He has been to Hong Kong Island quite often, and he is very familiar with taking the subway, buses, and light rail.

Seeing that there was still plenty of time, Mingbei took public transportation.

The tourism industry on Hong Kong Island is actually quite prosperous now.

People from the mainland still have a longing and attachment to this place.

These are the results accumulated from the export of cultural works over the past two or three decades.

But in another ten years, things will change.

The locals are unambitious and have a poor attitude towards tourists from other places.

Hua Ge's public service announcement has been around for years, but the essence of the service hasn't changed at all.

Not only did it cause a sharp drop in the number of tourists, it also led to Hong Kong residents spending money in the mainland!

It just goes to show that fortunes change.

Mingbei won't face any discrimination here, partly because he's from Guangdong and can speak Cantonese.

Furthermore, given her appearance and physique, most waiters wouldn't dare to deal with her in a bad mood.

We arrived at our destination without exchanging a word.

Upon arriving downstairs, Mingbei felt a rare touch of nervousness.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be feeling nervous.

However, this time the person meeting is a childhood idol, and there is a possibility of a collaboration.

No matter what I say, I still feel a little uneasy.

"call!"

Fortunately, this slight tension didn't last long and was quickly dispelled by him.

He took out his phone and contacted the casting director, Director Yang, directly.

A moment later, a beautiful office lady-styled girl came out of the building.

"Hello, is this Mr. Chen?"

After his identity was confirmed, Mingbei was warmly led into the building.

The building isn't exactly new; the exterior walls do look rather old.

The location of the office is not particularly important, unless it's for creating a company facade, in which case it needs to appear magnificent and dazzling.

I entered the elevator, went up to the 12th floor, was led into an office, and then arrived in front of a certain room.

"Knock knock!"

After he knocked on the door, the girl smiled and gestured for him to come in.

"Thanks!"

Mingbei straightened his clothes, opened the door, and went straight in.

Once inside, take a look around at the surroundings.

The furnishings here are rather simple: a desk, two bookshelves, and the shelves are crammed with books or folders.

Behind the desk sat a man with black and white hair.

At this moment, Mingbei stared at the man for a long time before finally sighing.

"Stephen Chow, you're getting old..."

"Oh, you little rascal, how can you call someone old the moment you meet them!"

However, Stephen Chow, true to his name, pointed at him several times with his index finger and shook his head.

"That's very impolite!"

Stephen Chow must have known about Mingbei's background beforehand, which is why he spoke directly in Cantonese.

Mingbei smiled upon hearing this. At least Stephen Chow's attitude seemed quite good during their first meeting; he wasn't the type to put a lot of pressure on people during the audition.

"Well, what I said is true," Mingbei said with a smile, pulling out a chair and sitting down at the other end of the desk.

"No one can resist the erosion of time and the changes of the years..."

These words can be quite hurtful, especially when you're older and there's a vibrant young person sitting across from you.

The damage would immediately double!

"I didn't expect someone as good-looking as you to have such a sharp tongue!" Stephen Chow shook his head, then stared at him intently for a few more moments.

"But to be fair, you look like you could easily be in the top three of my looks rankings!"

Everyone's perception of beauty is different; aesthetics is a very subjective thing.

However, some forms of beauty are universally recognized and can be accepted by a wider audience.

Just like a certain celebrity, they are good-looking and are considered by more people to be a standard handsome man or beautiful woman. Even if a few people disagree, their opinions are not important.

Mingbei is also the kind of handsome guy who is considered a standard type, especially his eyes. After acquiring the "Master-level Eye Acting" skill, his charm has increased even more.

Stephen Chow pays great attention to the changes in his eyes when acting, so in his understanding,

Mingbei's charm is indeed remarkable.

"However," Stephen Chow then sighed.

"Looking like you, it doesn't seem quite right for you to play Zhu Bajie in my production..."

"No way," Mingbei exclaimed in surprise, his eyes widening slightly.

"Mr. Stephen Chow, I've come all this way just to hear you refuse?"

If it's truly a rejection, then sending a message or making a phone call would suffice.

There's absolutely no need for him to make such a long trip!

"Um, can I get reimbursed for my round-trip airfare?"

"I'll report it to you!"

Stephen Chow rarely smiled. He felt quite compatible with Mingbei, and the other party didn't seem to be a stranger when he arrived.

In recent years, apart from Wen Zhang, not many young people would chat with him so directly.

Besides, handsome men and beautiful women always bring people a good mood.

"Um, I didn't explain clearly," Stephen Chow said after a pause.

"Actually, I haven't made up my mind yet. Besides, I've only seen photos and haven't met you in person, so I'd like to ask you out in person and then consider it further..."

Mingbei pressed further, "So, what's your decision now?"

"Um......"

Stephen Chow rested his chin on his hand, looking thoughtful.

This wait was quite long, and Mingbei almost signaled to the office lady from earlier to get a cappuccino!

After a long pause, he finally spoke:

"In my opinion, if you play a supporting role, you'll largely overshadow the lead actor!"

"In other words, actors like you are born to be leading men!"
