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

Chapter 243, A Gathering of Heroes

Meanwhile, in the capital city.

Liu Qianqian was thinking about herself

Thinking and pondering, even though this time I've made a name for myself and had a great debut, why do I still feel unhappy and inferior?

The constant toasts and compliments never stopped.

Clearly, I have done as my mother asked; clearly, I have succeeded.

She successfully became the most dazzling celestial being.

Liu Qianqian knows what she relies on for her success: her innate temperament, appearance, and the resources provided by her family. All of these combined have created her "success".

The "Fairy Liu" known and understood by the public.

Feeling lost because of success.

Perhaps many people would consider this to be "being pretentious".

Liu Qianqian could almost picture those voices, expressing their dissatisfaction despite already having so much.

"What people like about me is just my appearance."

Liu Qianqian thought to herself, resting her chin on her hand.

Perhaps there is such a person

At that moment, a figure kept popping into her mind, an uncontrollable reverie.

Still him.

He said.

He was filming in Hong Kong

"After we finish the event, it seems like going to Hong Kong would be convenient, right?"

Going to Northeast China for a GG event and then going to Hong Kong is worlds apart.

Ok.

Even if it's a long journey of 108,000 li, it's still on the way.

"Dad, I've figured it out."

"What have you figured out?"

"I just want to understand one thing," Gao Yuanyuan said after a moment of contemplation. "There are some things that, if I don't take the initiative, no one else will, and no one will indulge me."

At this moment, Gao's father showed a slightly surprised expression, and then said.

"Alright, go ahead and do it."

"Dad, do you know what I want to do?"

"You're an adult now. As long as you can take responsibility for your actions, what you do has nothing to do with this old man," the Gao family father said with a slight smile.

Gao Yuanyuan said with a hint of gratitude.

I don't express myself proactively.

He will never know that there is such a girl who desires more than just sleeping with him; he will only think, "I'm still thinking about 'Song Qingshu'."

Looking back now, I think I might no longer be thinking about Song Qingshu.

But

he himself.

At this moment, Gao Yuanyuan took a deep breath and said.

"After I finish filming this part of my schedule, I'll go to Hong Kong."

Perhaps I still don't fully understand my own feelings.

But at the very least, we can't let him be taken away.

At this moment, Gao Yuanyuan thought of a certain figure.

A girl who is more beautiful than her.

A girl who made her feel extremely threatened.

On this side of Hong Kong.

Filming for "Hey Society" has officially begun. This movie, judging from its title, still sounds incredibly cliché.

The conflict between the underworld and the police is a cliché, and the internal conflict within gangs is not exactly a new type of conflict either.

Many movies use this storyline, and this time, Du Qifeng's gimmick is "real gangs".

They explored the diverse aspects of life in the city, even consulting with real gang leaders for advice and advice.

Such marketing and initial publicity successfully attracted real gang leaders, including the former "Double Flower Red Pole" of the Hongmen, Gu Tianle's former elder brother, and other former bigwigs of the Hongmen.

Whether this is a blessing or a curse for the film is debatable, but at least the opening gimmick has been effective.

Moreover, these "big shots" have also said that they will personally "supervise" the composition of the film at the appropriate time.

We strive to authentically recreate the passionate years of yesteryear.

However, from an outsider's perspective, the lineup...

This "Hey Society" series is indeed quite something.

Almost all the old-school hard-boiled filmmakers from back then have gathered here. Just looking at the cast list, it's safe to say that we probably won't see any more film projects with this kind of flair in the future.

A confluence of events.

This explains the nature of this film project.

"Many big shots don't even need to pay for their roles. For example, Wong Jing's father, that senior figure in Hong Kong."

"This time, even a former leader of the 'Hongmen' made a cameo appearance."

At this moment, Du Qifeng also felt the grandeur of the occasion and was slightly impressed.

I may never have the same appeal again, to be able to invite all the veteran actors in Hong Kong to gather together for the filming of a movie.

It's not that I'm too proud.

Rather, it's because this subject matter has a lot of prestige.

In fact, when the project was initiated, Du Qifeng never expected it to generate such a huge response and attract these big shots to come and reminisce.

It can only be said that they truly have their own unique obsession with the "Longcheng Years".

This is a good thing, at least for now.

There's no need for any special promotion; these big names and actors who are nostalgic for the past will naturally take the initiative to do it.

Go all out with the marketing and distribution of this movie.

This is a cast that even the golden age of cinema might not have been able to assemble, with editing by Patrick Tam and music by Law Tai-yu.

Ye Youhai joked.

"How are you, Director Du? Are you feeling a bit stressed?"

"It's alright. We have two great actors, Tony Leung and Ren Dahua, here. I'm at ease knowing they're keeping things under control," Du Qifeng said thoughtfully.

For Du Qifeng, Tony Leung and Ren Dahua are like two trump cards.

The two of them will be in charge.

To guide the acting effect.

"The other characters can't be left out either, after all, this is an ensemble piece, and it would be quite jarring if only the two of them were acting."

This is also what gives Du Qifeng a slight headache.

When these two old guys start fighting, they don't care what the younger generation does.

It's definitely not my fault that I can't keep up with the performance; it's just that you kids aren't good enough.

This is probably the logic of these two veteran film stars—their impeccable logic.

They won't give way to the younger generation.

Perhaps this doesn't seem like the demeanor of a "senior".

However, from another perspective...

They will not underestimate any "opponent".

The charm of this principle lies in treating all opponents equally.

While the screenwriter and director were working out the script, the entire crew was ready to start filming. This filming process was longer than that of other films, and there were only two directors involved.

However, filming doesn't start immediately after joining the crew. You can also work on other projects, as long as it doesn't interfere with filming here.

For Li Yun, the total time he spent in Hong Kong was only a little over two months, which was less than the time it would take to watch two movies, compared to watching a TV series from beginning to end.

That's perfect.

After filming the "Hey Society" series, they can go straight for a Golden Eagle Award nomination.

At this time, online discussions were still speculating whether "Lotus Lantern" and "Chinese Paladin" would be nominated for the biennial Golden Eagle Awards, and if so, what kind of nominations they would receive.

Hupu launched such a poll.

These two dramas are so popular that everyone is curious about them.

They were even curious about whether they would be nominated for any of the upcoming awards.

"The public opinion surrounding these two dramas is still building."

At this moment, Li Yun was in Hong Kong, in a hotel arranged by the crew of the TV series "Hey Society".

It even has computers and internet access, so it's considered a fairly high-end hotel.

After reading the online comments, Li Yun went to the bathroom to wash his face. The reflection on his face was of "Jimmy".

I became Jimmy.

This time is different from the past.

"I" became "Jimmy" and the boy, the Taoist priest. They did not disappear; they were even watching from the sidelines. "I" and "Jimmy" merged into one, becoming each other.

My illness has probably worsened.

"If you recite the mantra of mindfulness more often and study the classics of Taoism with me more, evil thoughts will naturally disappear."

"Are you asking me to believe that a 'wicked heart' can teach me how to expel 'wickedness'?"

"Why not?"

"Okay, I'll definitely do it next time."

At this moment, Li Yun chatted casually with the Taoist priest, while the young man seemed quite interested and curious.

Is it myself in my youth?

No, that doesn't seem like it. I wasn't that mischievous when I was a kid; I used to interrupt adults when they were talking.

At this moment, Li Yun didn't know whether he was becoming more immersed in the role or more clear-headed.

After all, when I was possessed by a character in the past, my consciousness was usually detached from the perspective of a third party.

just now.

Yet I felt as if the character and I had become one.

There's a feeling... there's a feeling that I'm both Li Yun and Jimmy.

This state is truly amazing.

instead.

On the contrary, it made me feel more like a normal person, a normal person who is not troubled by mental problems.

Is that right?

Li Yun doesn't know the answer, and doesn't want to know the answer now.

You can only feel it when that feeling is on you.

I am "Jimmy".

This is the 'person'.

Li Yun still went to the set of "Hey Society".

They've already started filming in full swing, but today Li Yun is just observing.

"You don't have any scenes today either." At this moment, Director Du Qifeng was also a little surprised to see Li Yun arrive.

Li Yun is one of the points of discussion in this casting controversy of the Hey Society, because he actually eliminated Gu Tianle, which made the "Double Flower Red Stick" very unhappy.

I felt that he didn't have much of a gangster vibe.

They have never witnessed the real "Longcheng Years".

Du Qifeng neither confirmed nor denied this. He didn't know whether Li Yun's performance was good or not, but at least he knew that if Gu Tianle couldn't overcome his past shame, he wouldn't be able to fully portray the character.

It can only perform at 80% capacity.

However, when faced with the choice between a safe "80% chance" and the possibility of making a breakthrough, Du Qifeng chose the "possible" option, which no one could understand.

But that's just his personality. Originally, he hadn't put much of his mind into the role, and the turmoil had subsided somewhat, but Li Yun's arrival made him care about it all over again.

And this time...

Li Yun seems to have changed a bit?

But I can't put it into words.

"I'm just here to take a look," Li Yun said with a slight smile, lighting a cigarette for Du Qifeng.

indeed.

Even Li Yun himself felt that he had become different.

Today's play.

It's a film starring Tony Leung Ka-fai and Nick Cheung Ka-fai.

Two characters for "晖" cannot be written in one stroke.

The two filmed this scene on a simple fishing boat.

"You should keep it to yourself," Du Qifeng couldn't help but remind the movie star Liang.

"I can't believe it," Liang Jiahui said impatiently.
