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

Chapter 146, The Final Dialogue in "Kung Fu"

The final scene of Kung Fu Hustle

Fire Cloud Evil God fought against Star Boy, and in the end, Star Boy mastered the Tathagata Palm technique, which is how he defeated Fire Cloud Evil God.

Another honorable victory, they won.

The "Buddha's Palm" technique won.

Sing Jai's palm strike from the sky.

Here, "Fire Cloud Evil God" used every trick in the book.

Even after mastering the highest level of Toad Kung Fu, he still lost to Stephen Chow.

There's absolutely no action here; after all, we've come this far, it's basically a battle of special effects.

There wasn't much physical contact between fists and feet.

But precisely because they don't have much martial arts skill.

This scene was actually a dialogue scene.

The film depicts the interaction between "Fire Cloud Evil God" and "Sing Jai".

effort.

Actually, these are all secondary.

I lost.

Fire Cloud Evil God was defeated.

He was actually admitting defeat here.

She stared at Xingzai with the same look in her eyes again.

It was the look in their eyes that screamed for survival.

It was a look of wanting to die.

Seeking both life and death.

The next part of the story should have been after Sing-jai unleashed a Buddha's Palm strike to intimidate the Fire Cloud Evil God.

ask.

"What kind of kung fu is that?"

He answered.

"I'll teach you."

The demeanor of a grandmaster is displayed here.

He truly won over the Fire Cloud Evil God.

But Stephen Chow felt at this moment.

it's here.

Perhaps we shouldn't have done that.

This gaze had met before.

It was only before that Sing-jai released the Fire Cloud Evil God while he was in the mental hospital.

This time.

The positions have been reversed, and it is now the Fire Cloud Evil God who is being scrutinized.

Once again, they engaged in a silent rehearsal and a dramatic display of acting skills.

"They're putting on a dramatic performance."

At this moment, Yang Xiaolong swallowed hard as he looked at the scene before him.

Yuan Qiu and Yuan Hua were also watching, engaging in a silent acting contest.

Their eyes seemed to speak volumes.

They are telling each other, exchanging information.

Sing-jai's composure.

The Fire Cloud Evil God's anger, jealousy, and hatred... In the end, he dared not look directly at the very end.

It's as if I'm looking at myself, as if I'm looking at myself who made a different choice.

Fire Cloud Evil God, if possible, could I become Stephen Chow?

If Sing continues to go astray, will he become the Fire Cloud Evil God?

Good and evil.

Choice.

They looked like they were looking in a mirror.

This is no longer something that can be determined by the script, dialogue, or set design.

Their roles are like wild horses that have broken free of their reins.

They followed their own destiny's trajectory entirely.

There was no human intervention.

At this moment, all was quiet.

This was supposed to be about Xingzai after the Fire Cloud Evil God's sneak attack.

Said.

"If you want to learn, I'll teach you."

Fire Cloud Evil God took out his Golden Lotus Hidden Weapon

He stabbed halfway through.

His eyes, which had originally held a ferocious expression.

It wasn't Xingzai who stopped it.

It was Fire Cloud Evil God who stopped on his own.

They did not continue stabbing.

At this moment, even with the hidden weapon right in front of him, Xingzai did not dodge.

Even the Fire Cloud Evil God stopped on his own, facing Sing's gaze, and stopped on his own.

At this moment, Xingzai said.

"You're alive! As long as you're alive, good things will happen."

After saying that, Xingzai turned and left.

Only the Fire Cloud Evil God remained, kneeling and weeping.

She cried very loudly.

Live on.

This is the second person to say this to him.

The first one, in order to save his own life, had already killed himself.

When the Fire Cloud Evil God's emotions reached the peak of collapse.

Sing turned around and hugged him.

Everything came to an abrupt end.

The invincible killer, Fire Cloud Evil God, was 'killed'.

A "self" that made a different choice.

He was killed.

"Click!"

Li Yun's eyes regained their clarity.

Instantly, I was pulled out of the scene.

Filming has wrapped.

When Stephen Chow turned around.

Then they turned back.

This time, he wasn't in the shot.

He looked at the "Fire Cloud Evil God".

wrong.

Looking at Li Yun.

A fully fleshed-out character, with his thoughts and feelings.

You can't live, you can't die.

This is a mirror.

A mirror of "Ah-Xing".

If Ah Xing had chosen to strike the landlord and landlady with that stick back then...

Will Ah Xing, this "martial arts prodigy," become another Fire Cloud Evil God in the future?

At this moment, Stephen Chow murmured.

"The times created Fire Cloud Evil God, and he was also an unfortunate part of the times. He was also a victim of this era. The Axe Gang, Pig Cage Alley, small-time thugs like Sing-jai, villains like the Axe Gang who committed all kinds of evil, inactive cops, and British and Chinese people who did whatever they wanted in the concession."

These are all satirical scenes that Stephen Chow intentionally or unintentionally inserted into the film. They were subtly foreshadowed in the script, but unexpectedly, Li Yun unearthed their deeper meaning, revealing his inner, existing essence.

This is a comedy

But can't comedy make people think deeply? Can't it just make people laugh?

Good comedy.

That's what makes people laugh and cry—that's what makes a truly successful comedy.

It allows both casual and inquisitive viewers to find something that resonates with them and discover storylines they enjoy.

This is the real Kung Fu.

This is comedy.

At this moment, Stephen Chow murmured.

"This young Li really resonates with me!"

Actually, there are still some scenes left to film in "Kung Fu Hustle," which are all Stephen Chow's own scenes. In the end, after Stephen Chow returns to his true self and becomes a real martial arts master, he no longer worries about worldly success and standing out from the crowd.

He and the mute girl opened a candy store to make a living.

Everything in this shot is in color.

It's completely different from the dark tone of the section from the birth of the Fire Cloud Evil God to the final battle, and it uses a different film roll texture.

Kung Fu Hustle has now wrapped up filming.

At this wrap party.

Stephen Chow's absence might be due to the physical and mental exhaustion he experienced after several days of intense filming.

But everyone came.

Li Yun was among those who came.

Li Yun arrived at the wrap party, and Yuan Hua, Yuan Qiu, and Yang Xiaolong all felt a bit doubtful about life.

Li Yun

Can he really do it?

The answer is yes.

He really can.

A person who gets so deeply involved in a role that they stay immersed from beginning to end.

His character ended the moment his scenes ended.

I was pulled out of the scene too quickly.

Even actors like Yuan Qiu and Yuan Hua, who played landlords and landladies naturally, and were method actors, took half a day to detach themselves from their roles.

The Li Yun in front of me is simply a freak.

It's unheard of among young actors; at least Yuan Qiu and Yuan Hua haven't encountered anyone as outstanding.

Perhaps Stephen Chow back then counts as one?

But Stephen Chow is the King of Comedy.

The true king of comedy.

A talent one is born with.

Even though many people say that Stephen Chow has the self-discipline and hard work of an actor, that is true. However, without talent, all that effort is in vain.

Stephen Chow simply put his talent into the right path.

With his own hard work, he was able to shine.

That's quite admirable.

"Come, let me toast you." At this moment, Chen Guoji stepped forward first. He was a little drunk, and his gaze towards Li Yun was quite complicated.

It even carried a hint of apology.

"sorry."

"What have you done to wrong me?"

"Well, because of your age and experience, I was somewhat biased in my evaluation of you at one point," Chen Guoji paused and said, "Perhaps my attitude was a bit inappropriate before."

Chen Guoji now even has a bit of admiration for him.

"Aren't you afraid of Xiao Li anymore?" Yuan Hua teased. "You used to be afraid of him."

"I'm afraid of Fire Cloud Evil God, not Little Li."

At this moment, Yuan Qiu sighed.

"Yes, Li Yun is Li Yun, and Fire Cloud Evil God is Fire Cloud Evil God. They are not the same."

They can clearly distinguish the differences between the two.

Their temperament and aura are completely different.

It's really different; the kind and approachable actor, Leonardo DiCaprio, is back.

Li, still somewhat green and inexperienced.

Drinking is definitely something Li Yun excels at.

The saying "a thousand cups without getting drunk" perfectly describes Li Yun.

Chen Guoji, Yuan Qiu, and Yuan Hua each drank a few cups of wine with Li Yunlai.

"Xiao Li, have you noticed that Stephen Chow didn't utter a single curse word about you in this movie?" Yuan Hua said, slightly drunk. "Let me tell you, Stephen Chow poured water on us from beginning to end. Who hasn't been cursed by him? Oh right, you really haven't been cursed by him."

"How should I put it, it's pretty impressive."

At this moment, Yuanhua truly admired Li Yun's acting skills.

Really

At this moment, after finishing his drink, Li Yun spoke leisurely.

"Yes, that's pretty impressive."

Yuan Hua thought Li Yun was just talking to himself and praising himself. Given the current situation, it wasn't a problem for Li Yun to praise himself like this. In fact, it wasn't a problem at all; Li Yun was indeed capable of achieving such results.

But in fact.

Li Yun was praising Stephen Chow.

It's praising Stephen Chow.

You only know this when you actually act one-on-one with him.

What is true acting skill?

Truly immersing oneself in the role.

He has his own cheat code.

Stephen Chow didn't. He was simply present at the time, truly immersing himself in the character of "Sing" and seeing the Fire Cloud Evil God from his own perspective.

When the wrap party was more than halfway through.

Stephen Chow arrived late and looked somewhat haggard.

Yes

So many days of intense filming have left Stephen Chow with dark circles and wrinkles that are heartbreaking to see.

One of the reasons why most people still respect Stephen Chow despite his volatile temper is that he is truly strict with himself.

At least in this respect, they absolutely do not apply double standards, and that is what is most admirable.

After filming.

Stephen Chow's grumpy face syndrome has improved a lot.

Aside from not being very good at speaking.

There's nothing else.

After a round of toasts and drinks.

Stephen Chow came to Li Yun's side.

Looking at Li Yun, whose expression remained unchanged, Stephen Chow felt a mix of emotions.

It's really hard to associate the young man in front of me with "Fire Cloud Evil God".

"You know, it feels like the person I've been spending time with lately isn't you, but the Fire Cloud Evil God. This feeling is like a shadow following me, this person who's gone completely mad."

"Thank you for allowing me to demonstrate such acting skills and understanding of the character. Cheers to our film, may it be a resounding success. You are a true actor."

at this time.

Stephen Chow smiled slightly.

Yuan Hua, who was standing nearby, murmured as he watched this scene.

"This time, not only did Stephen Chow refrain from swearing, he also praised someone."
