I'm not mentally ill, I'm a master of a thousand faces!

Chapter 141, Keep filming, don't stop!

The landlady and landlord displayed their unparalleled kung fu skills, which even defeated the sonic assassin hired by the Axe Gang, "One Song of Heartbreak," to a level that was beyond medical help.

This forced the Axe Gang to seek help from another martial arts master, a master who had gone mad in a mental hospital.

A legend.

A fiery cloud evil god.

In the world of martial arts.

Only his name exists; few people have actually seen him—after all, those who saw his true face are all dead.

Meanwhile, Brother Chen, the leader of the Axe Gang, was smoking a cigar, his eyes seemingly unfocused. This Fire Cloud Evil God was already a legend in the previous generation of the martial arts world.

For him, the current leader of the Axe Gang, these seemingly legendary stories don't seem very credible.

But it still needs to be done.

"You have five minutes. Memorize this route," the Axe Gang's advisor whispered in Stephen Chow's ear. "You absolutely must find everyone in here and get revenge on that fat bastard. Understand?"

He looked at Stephen Chow with a very indifferent gaze, as if he were looking at a expendable utensil. In front of a place guarded by the military, if he were discovered, he would be sentenced to death.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Anyway, there are still many, many poor people in this area who are willing to do this kind of thing.

Let's find a scapegoat then, if that fails.

"Alright, alright, I will definitely complete the mission and make sure to rescue this Fire Cloud Evil God."

"Stop talking nonsense, go ahead. You only have 5 minutes, I'm rooting for you."

Stephen Chow, who was eager to join the Axe Gang and "make a name for himself," reluctantly agreed.

They had absolutely no idea what kind of monsters and freaks lived in this mental hospital.

In a long take, Stephen Chow enters the set.

Stephen Chow walked in hesitantly, his eyes filled with fear, but he still kept moving forward.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from the ventilation opening in the psychiatric ward, accompanied by occasional sharp, manic laughter.

They took away Stephen Chow's clothes.

So suddenly, even the people watching the filming were startled.

This is the most insane, most evil, and most dangerous mental hospital where the most dangerous people are imprisoned.

This is a play set in a mental hospital.

It was really well shot.

The atmosphere was created very, very well.

The atmosphere of a cramped, frenzied mental hospital.

Stephen Chow's portrayal of a small, helpless man, like a rootless duckweed, perfectly captures the feeling of wanting to grasp onto something.

He was just a helpless little man; his reason and his spirituality were meaningless here.

The Axe Gang didn't treat him like a human being at all.

It's just a dog.

The story emphasizes his fear and the madness and insanity of his surroundings.

A long shot, filled with fear and confinement, eventually leads to the place where the Fire Cloud Evil God is imprisoned.

"Who is this person?" Ye Sanjiang asked in a low voice.

All I can say is that Stephen Chow's sense of camera presence and the atmosphere he creates during filming are simply genius—he was even sweating bullets.

I was both curious and afraid. Who was being held in this mental hospital?

Who exactly is this deity worthy of such an atmosphere?

At this moment, Yuan Hua whispered, "It's our Fire Cloud Evil God, the ultimate villain in this movie."

Yuanhua is now a little worried.

"I don't know if he has any problems."

It was only because Stephen Chow filmed this scene so well that he was a little worried.

When the atmosphere, the artistry, everything is pushed to the limit, and when the final appearance of the "Fire Cloud Evil God" is only so-so...

That would actually have the opposite effect.

However, Stephen Chow also considered this point.

The filming was rehearsed and shot in several sessions.

There are two options.

The first type.

The appearance of the Fire Cloud Evil God is extremely ordinary, creating a contrast. This contrast is used to highlight the humor, while the subsequent plot highlights his ferocity. This was the initial plan, and the scene was decided during the reading session.

The second.

The initial reason for choosing Li Yun was to use a frenzied approach to film a mental patient, highlighting his madness and evil.

Let's start from these two aspects.

The first type is significantly easier and more in line with the feel of comedy, while the second type contains Stephen Chow's ambition and also serves to highlight this crazy era.

Stephen Chow's ambition is to use comedy and the emotions of ordinary people to depict the sorrow and desolation of the times.

It's just that for now, filming both types is a precaution.

"Are you worried about raising the bar too high?" Chen Musheng immediately thought of this question.

The character Fire Cloud Evil God was played by Li Yun.

To be honest, from his perspective, his audition performance was quite good, but it wasn't quite enough to fit the atmosphere.

Especially Stephen Chow's performance at this moment; the cold sweat on his body came out naturally, and his fear was not just superficial.

He was completely immersed in the feeling of fear.

For a one-man show to achieve such a level of immersion, it's impossible not to admire Stephen Chow as an actor.

To be able to naturally sweat out one's cold sweat in this immersive performance without any physical props.

He truly immersed himself in the role, and he could bring an unparalleled sense of immersion to those around him.

"More or less, I'm afraid if I raise the bar too high, this young man won't be able to handle it, and then everyone will have to appreciate it." Yuan Hua didn't finish speaking, and then we'd have to appreciate Stephen Chow's ability to change his expression in a second.

That little guy who was just immersed in the play.

Instantly transform into a star guide.

Let the Star Guide boost your strength.

Of course, this was absolutely not Li Yun's fault. Even if Li Yun's performance in this scene was mediocre and he received criticism, Yuan Hua would not think it was Li Yun's fault.

Stephen Chow always applies the standards he sets for himself to others.

There's only one Stephen Chow in this world.

Strict self-discipline and strict discipline of others; never apply double standards.

At this moment, Yang Xiaolong, who had been mostly silent, spoke after a moment of silence.

"I think it should be fine."

Yang Xiaolong.

The original Fire Cloud Evil God is now the martial arts director for "Kung Fu Hustle".

One of the Four Little Dragons of Hong Kong who once shared the stage with Bruce Lee.

At this moment, the former Fire Cloud Evil God once again stated with certainty, "No, it's definitely no problem."

"So confident, Brother Yang?"

"Um"

Stephen Chow arrived at the entrance of the mental hospital, completely immersed in the tension of the film.

open the door.

Inside was a kind-looking uncle reading a newspaper.

He's still a madman.

He didn't know.

All he knew was that his purpose in coming here was to open the gate and unleash the malevolent spirits within.

Trembling, sweaty hands

Use barbed wire to pry open the gate.

Trembling hands.

Open it.

What could it be?

The heavy iron gate creaked open.

The atmosphere here is absolutely heavy.

And what comes into view.

He was a person reading a newspaper.

The newspaper covered her face.

In a short time.

The scene was quiet.

then.

"Fire Cloud Evil God" put down the newspaper.

The eyes of the two met.

After being made up, Li Yun looks like a bald old man.

The makeup artist did a great job.

They could make Li Yunhua so unrecognizable that no one would recognize him.

This clearly demonstrates the depth of his skill.

And temperament.

It has also changed.

That feeling of first meeting.

His simple-minded appearance.

They appear harmless.

all of a sudden.

It made people relax.

So this is what the bald old man in front of me looks like, huh?

"It seems Xiao Li used the safest approach."

Yuan Qiu touched his chin.

The way the character is portrayed is by creating a stark contrast between that frozen expression and the tense atmosphere created in front of them.

This is the safest option.

Not bad

There were no surprises or shocks; it was a safe and predictable performance.

The two locked eyes.

then

Then Li Yun smiled.

Hello.

Laughed.

It's this guy's "kind" smile.

It gave me goosebumps.

That expression—a half-smile, a half-pain, a half-madness—is unforgettable.

If we say that Stephen Chow and this tense atmosphere became one, then...

Then there's the 'Fire Cloud Evil God' before us.

It became integrated with this mental hospital.

Stephen Chow broke out in a cold sweat.

"Hello, hello me. My name is A-Xing."

No break character

Stephen Chow didn't swear.

Under everyone's shocked gaze.

they.

They're putting on a dramatic performance.

"What do we do now?"

at this time.

The camera is still operating, but as director Stephen Chow just said...

The shot should end where the door opens.

But now... it's awkward. The director is so engrossed in the play that he can't get out of it, and there's no one to direct him.

Taking a picture is problematic, but not taking one is also problematic.

If they keep filming like this...

What if the director gets distracted and scolds you for wasting film?

Everyone has experienced Stephen Chow's witty and sarcastic remarks.

The insults were incredibly harsh; nobody wants to be insulted, nobody wants to be blamed.

The pressure is now on the confused and innocent photographer, who doesn't know what to do.

Right now, no one is taking charge.

At this moment.

The photographer opted for a conservative approach.

Nobody wants to take the blame.

Just as he was about to do so, a voice stopped him.

"Don't stop, keep filming!"

It was Liu An who spoke, and he made the decisive decision. The scene continued to be filmed.

"May I ask who you are?"

The crew was also stunned by this person's imposing presence and didn't know what to do for a moment.

At this moment, Yuan Hua stepped forward, his expression a mixture of shock and confusion, and said, "This is Huayi's leader. Listen to him, keep filming, don't worry about anything else, you won't be held responsible."

"Okay, okay."

When the leadership gives the word, things change; the entire production crew continues to operate and film as usual.

Remember this scene.

The meeting between Fire Cloud Evil God and Sing-jai.

In this dimly lit, secret room, in this mental hospital.

The killer I encountered.

Stephen Chow swallowed hard, his eyes filled with a strange look.

That's how it's being told.

What kind of insane person did I release?

Beneath a calm expression.

A restrained madness.
