Entertainment News: This Best Actor's acting range is so narrow it's enviable.

Chapter 96 Zhang Baizi was terrified

The following morning, Jiang Feng received a call from Andy Lau as soon as he got up, informing him to audition for the film "Running on Karma".

Since he didn't have any scenes to film today, he packed up and took a taxi to the set of "Running on Karma".

Johnnie To is filming a scene with the male and female leads.

It was only then that Jiang Feng realized that the female lead of this film was actually Zhang Baizi!

This is partly because Zhang Baizi is indeed very popular now, and partly because it shows that Hong Kong's acting scene is lacking in new talent, with the same few actors coming and going.

Andy Lau wore fake muscles made of silicone, making him look several times more muscular, which is the origin of the movie title "Running on Karma".

He was suspended upside down in mid-air by wires, looking down at Zhang Baizi, while also having to deliver his lines, which looked very difficult for him.

After Andy Lau finished his lines, it was supposed to be Cheung Pak-chi's turn to speak.

However, at that moment, Zhang Baizi's phone suddenly rang.

"Excuse me, director, I need to take this call."

Before receiving Johnnie To's permission, she abandoned Andy Lau, who was hanging in mid-air, and ran to the side to answer the phone!

Even Jiang Feng's blood pressure rose when he saw this scene.

Sure enough, Johnnie To immediately lost his temper, roaring, "Who gave you permission to answer the phone? Don't you know we're filming?"

Johnnie To has a nickname, "Big Cannon To," because of his fiery temper and his penchant for swearing.

Even a dog that walks past him gets slapped twice.

Zhang Baizi was so frightened that she turned pale and quickly put her phone away.

"Director, I'm sorry."

Johnnie To, his face ashen, said irritably, "You should say that to Andy Lau."

After this commotion, he lost interest in filming.

Liu Dehua was put down by the staff.

He had noticed Jiang Feng long ago, and without even taking a break, he quickly brought Jiang Feng to Du Qifeng's side.

"Director Du, this is the actor I recommended to you, Jiang Feng."

Johnnie To glanced at Jiang Feng and said indifferently, "He does look quite dashing, but how's his acting?"

Andy Lau quickly replied, "His acting skills are absolutely fine, even better than mine."

Johnnie To snorted.

"Your acting isn't that great, so what's so surprising about someone being better than you?"

Andy Lau:

Jiang Feng was completely numb.

I'd heard that Johnnie To had a bad temper, but surely his emotional intelligence isn't that low?

Andy Lau is a superstar, how could he publicly criticize his acting skills in front of so many people?

Actually, Johnnie To wasn't lacking in emotional intelligence; rather, he didn't need to maintain a persona of high emotional intelligence in front of Andy Lau.

Back when they were filming "A Moment of Romance", he had already made Andy Lau cry by scolding him.

Back then, his relationship with Andy Lau was probably similar to that of Lau Wai-keung and Chan Kwan-hei today.

Later, during the filming of "Running Out of Time," Johnnie To asked Andy Lau to dress as a woman, but Lau refused and was scolded again.

Although he was criticized, he won the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Actor, so Andy Lau wasn't angry with Johnnie To.

Johnnie To told his assistant, "Take him to get his makeup done first, then have him do a screen test."

Jiang Feng was taken to get his makeup done.

While I was getting my makeup done, Zhang Baizi slipped over.

"Jiang Feng, you've come to film in our production crew too! What a coincidence!"

Seeing her laughing so carefree, Jiang Feng couldn't help but complain, "You were scolded like that just now, and you can still laugh."

Zhang Baizi said nonchalantly, "Isn't it normal to get scolded by the director? I'm used to it."

Jiang Feng:

alright, you win.

Zhang Baizi looked at Jiang Feng with seductive eyes.

"Jiang Feng, are you free today? How about we go dancing tonight?"

When she mentioned the word "dancing," she secretly winked at Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng glanced at the makeup artist; thankfully, she couldn't understand the coded messages between the two.

"I'm busy filming, I don't have the energy to dance, let's talk about it later."

"Oh, okay then."

Zhang Baizi looked disappointed.

After Jiang Feng finished his makeup, he found himself transformed into a wild man.

He wore a messy, dirty wig and had a long beard glued to his face.

The stylist then gave him a tattered, dirty outfit to change into.

"Am I playing a beggar?"

After finishing his makeup, he came to Johnnie To again.

Johnnie To glanced at it and nodded.

"You look alright. Here's your script. Take a look at it first. We'll rehearse your scene with Zhang Baizi in a bit."

Jiang Feng's role is pitifully small; the script is only two thin pages long.

The character he plays is named Sun Guo, a fugitive who killed Xiao Cui, Andy Lau's childhood sweetheart, five years ago and hid in the deep mountains.

Zhang Baizi plays Li Fengyi, who, in order to help Liu Dehua catch a murderer, goes to the mountains to find Sun Guo, but is tragically killed.

The manner of their death was extremely tragic, even somewhat horrific.

Five years later, Andy Lau finally arrested him, and the movie ended.

After reading the script, Jiang Feng was immediately filled with a big question mark.

With such explicit content, will it pass censorship?

The scene where he murders Zhang Baizi, in particular, was incredibly cruel.

However, he also knew that this was not something an actor should worry about.

He just had to act however the director told him to.

Even if this scene is ultimately cut, it has nothing to do with him.

"If there are no problems, let's start the audition. We'll audition for the scene where you kill Li Fengyi."

Du Qifeng glanced at Zhang Baizi.

"You can help him with the scene."

"OK."

Zhang Baizi nodded, and then Chongjiang Feng grinned.

"Jiang Feng, you'd better go easy on him."

OK.

"6

"Ready? 3, 2, 1, action."

As soon as Du Qifeng finished speaking, Jiang Feng, who had been chatting and laughing with Zhang Baizi just moments before, instantly transformed into a different person. His face showed a numb and indifferent expression, and his eyes revealed madness and murderous intent.

"Um?"

Du Qifeng was taken aback, put down his crossed legs, and looked at Jiang Feng in surprise.

This was the first time he had ever seen an actor get into character so quickly.

Seeing his reaction, Liu Dehua felt a surge of pride.

Haha, scared you, huh?

So, even you, "Du the Cannon," have met your match?

Zhang Baizi was also terrified by Jiang Feng's dramatic change of expression, and a chill ran through her.

Jiang Feng stared intently at her, grabbed her by the neck, and forced her to the ground.

It seemed rough, but it was actually very measured; Zhang Baizi was not hurt.

Zhang Baizi stared at Jiang Feng in horror, her face turning pale with fear, her eyes filled with terror, displaying the best acting skills she had ever given since her debut.

In fact, she wasn't acting at all; it was just an unconscious, instinctive reaction.

The staff around him were also frightened by the brutality and murderous aura emanating from Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng grinned like a madman, picked up a nearby prop stone, and smashed it down on Zhang Baizi's head.

"what!"

Zhang Baizi screamed in fright and closed her eyes.

The prop stone in Jiang Feng's hand fell to the ground next to her.

"Click!"

Johnnie To abandoned his previous indifference and a rare smile appeared on his face.

"Excellent, you acted very well, you passed the audition."

He looked at Andy Lau beside him and asked, "Where did you find this actor?"

Andy Lau laughed, "They were found from the 'Infernal Affairs' crew."

Johnnie To: "If you hadn't told me, I would have thought he came from Stanley Prison. Are all young actors in mainland China this good?"
