Huayu98: Starting with mentoring pop divas

Having just experienced the chaos of the incident, Li Shuo, thinking about the prize draw, went straight outside the school.

Arrive at the "Da Bo Gong" (Earth God) where I previously put the 500 Singapore dollars in the donation box that led to my being framed.

This time, I put down another 10 Singapore dollars as a token of my respect, then bowed respectfully before confirming my prize draw!

[The host's rank has been temporarily upgraded from "Unknown" to "Somewhat Famous," and 20 tangible rewards from the randomly selected benevolent target Zheng Xiuwen have been obtained.]

A pot of beef offal soup broth aged for decades (from the TV series "Living Together")

[Two dumbbells with hanging straps (from "Falling in Love with Your Bed")]

【Bullwhip with thin noodles *3 (from "The Lonely Man and Woman")】

[Cheng Siu-keung's Ability Fragment 1/3 (from "Infinity: The World of Johnnie To's Films")]

[The eldest sister's left foot is wearing four Adidas shoes (from the TV series "A Perfect Match")]

[The eldest sister's right shoe is a Nike x6 (from the TV series "A Perfect Match")]

[Master of Emei School swordsmanship (from "A Perfect Match")]

[Kawasaki ZXR400 with Hong Kong Island license plate (from the movie "Needing You...")]

[Master of Teppanyaki (from "Blind Detective")]

Then... Li Shuo squatted down beside the shrine of "Da Bo Gong".

I slurped up a bowl of hot, thin noodles that I had taken from the system space... The "bull's penis" on top had been cut into several pieces, and the bowl was even a thoughtful disposable one. Thank you again!

System, I feel like you're alluding to me... I've seen both of those movies, the one with the dumbbells and the rope...

And these shoes, one for each foot... You even gave me two extra for the right foot!

However, while most of the things they released were rather ridiculous, the others were still somewhat interesting.

I remember that motorcycle was the same model that Andy Lau wore in the movie "A Moment of Romance," which was a tribute to the film. In a little over a month, he will be 16 and able to ride it.

My teppanyaki skills are alright, I guess.

The only mystery is that the decades-old beef offal soup base.

As for the Emei sword technique... I felt there was something there after immersing myself in the moves... but after casually gesturing with chopsticks a few times... I felt it was a bit too flamboyant!

But the most interesting thing this time was... Zheng Zhaoqiang's ability fragment!

Although this 1/3 of the feeling looks like a basic ability, it's Zheng Zhaoqiang!

Johnnie To's personal photographer!

Classic films such as "The Longest Nite," "The Mission," "Sparrow," "Election 2," "Three," and "Wisdom Tooth" are all his creations.

Is this kind of basic ability what is generally understood as basic skill level?

I have no other thoughts... I just feel great about the many photography techniques and experiences that have been added to my memory! I'm also looking forward to upgrading my status in the future.

Of course, there's also the system's balance scale. What will be in the new progress bar treasure chest that appears on the female star's side?

After slurping down the noodles and even drinking the soup, Li Shuo strolled back to the recording studio, feeling warm and buoyant, and pushed open the door.

The atmosphere inside the shed has eased considerably.

Sammi Cheng was leaning back on the sofa, holding a glass of warm water and sipping it slowly, her eyes regaining their sparkle.

Xiao Wei, who had just been showcasing the visual effects of the dance makeup, was also standing beside Sun Yanzi, smiling and talking quietly.

"How are you feeling, Sammi?" Li Shuo walked up to her, his tone as usual.

"I feel much better now, thanks to you so much." Sammi Cheng put down her water glass, her strength returning, and her mind became clearer.

His gaze involuntarily drifted to Xiao Wei beside him, and his eyes lit up.

"By the way, Ashuo,"

Sammi Cheng said enthusiastically, "I have an idea. After the album is recorded, I'd like to bring Xiao Wei on stage with me for the next few concerts on my tour!"

"If you go with today's look and choreography in sync with me, the effect will definitely be great! She may be young, but she's not afraid of the typhoon at all, what do you think?"

Just as Li Shuo was about to answer, Xiao Wei, who had been listening intently, suddenly stood up, ran to Sammi Cheng's sofa, and blinked her big eyes.

"Sister, if I go dancing with you... will I earn any money?"

Children speak without restraint, yet their words reveal a precocious understanding.

Zheng Xiuwen then remembered that Li Shuo had mentioned the child's situation.

My heart softened, but I still deliberately put on a stern face to tease her.

"Wow, you know how to talk about money at such a young age? Well, that depends on how well you dance. If you dance well, I'll give you a big red envelope."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wei's face immediately turned serious, and she nodded vigorously.

"I will practice hard and I'm sure I can jump well!"

Li Shuo found the interaction amusing.

I also remembered that Zheng Xiuwen had a dance-with a little girl design at her previous concert, and I thought it would be good to continue this idea this time, but I still squatted down to communicate with Xiao Wei.

"This is a big deal, and it involves going to different places, which will be very tiring. Your mother's consent is necessary, and it would be best if she could come with you."

Although Xiao Wei's little mind was only concerned with "whether or not she could make money," she still obediently said "oh."

Sammi Cheng witnessed this scene and gained a deeper understanding of Li Shuo's mature and thoughtful approach to things.

She remembered what Sun Yanzi had told her earlier and changed the subject back to Li Shuo.

"I heard from Yanzi that you're transferring to a school on Hong Kong Island?"

"Yes," Li Shuo straightened up and nodded.

"I want to go back to China to study at university, so I'll go to Hong Kong Island first to find a suitable school and take the Joint Entrance Examination."

Li Shuo thought of something and felt that now was the perfect opportunity to speak.

His tone became hesitant.

"Once things are settled in Hong Kong, I actually... want to take about ten days to fly to the United States."

"Oh? Going on a trip?" Sammi Cheng was a little surprised.

Not entirely.

Li Shuo smiled, deliberately adding a hint of uncertainty.

"I have a rather unique horror-suspense film idea. I've already figured out the script and filming techniques. The budget is very low, but it needs the right environment and atmosphere. It's kind of... an experimental independent film."

He paused.

"However, it's quite a headache to think about. I'm unfamiliar with the place, and I've heard that the union rules there are complicated, but I still need to find a few ordinary actors and choose a suitable location for filming."

He shrugged, looking slightly troubled.

"Although I'm somewhat confident in my film idea, I'm not very familiar with the process and follow-up, such as the procedures for participating in film festivals and showcasing the film. So I'd like to seek advice and guidance from experienced people in the film industry..."

He sighed and didn't say anything more.

Sammi Cheng noticed this change in her emotions.

She was surprised that this musical prodigy was getting involved in film.

I thought he was just dabbling in it, but I never expected him to actually be interested in participating in film festivals.

He said the trip to the US would only take about ten days? Are you kidding me?

Although Hong Kong films are also known for their fast shooting cycles, that's built on a mature market structure and team, isn't it?

How high can the quality of a movie be if it's shot in such a short time?

Even if Li Shuo is a genius, he wouldn't be that bad!

But the excitement he displayed wasn't just a hobby.

This made Zheng Xiuwen feel embarrassed to dampen the enthusiasm of her "younger brother," so she tried her best to help him... Perhaps after communicating with professionals in the film industry, he would give up...

"Experimental films...the idea is very unique, and it definitely requires drive and planning."

Sammi Cheng seemed thoughtful, her tone sincere.

"Ah Shuo, you've helped me so much, I'm not good at being polite. How about this, you're going to Hong Kong Island anyway, I'll help you connect with some friends, maybe they can give you some advice."

She spoke sincerely, both as a way of repaying him and out of admiration for this genius boy with whom she felt an increasingly inexplicable connection.

Upon hearing this, Li Shuo's eyes lit up slightly.

That's exactly what I've been waiting for, sister!

She seemed relieved, but also a little embarrassed.

"Sammi, you saying that... I wasn't very confident at first. If I could be introduced to a senior like you and receive guidance, that would be a huge help."

Li Shuo was thinking about what he was going to do in his past life, a legendary project that used extremely low cost to create a global box office miracle and pioneered the "mockumentary" marketing style.

All the elements of his success and the pitfalls of his regrets were in his mind.

Although his family background may seem to be quite good, it is ultimately the support of his father and elders. It may be a good starting line to leverage their influence, but in the end, he still needs to have his own strength and foundation.

So what he needs to do now is upgrade his system status while simultaneously planning how to make money.

Choosing this film project was one of the easier steps for him after his rebirth.

The timing is a bit tight, but there's still time.

He had already used his cousin's "almost childhood sweetheart" to help him register in advance and pave the way for the American website, thus establishing an earlier online publicity and dissemination method, so that he could control and reduce the original publisher's so-called 20 million US dollars in publicity costs.

In fact, this promotional method and theme was originally a "small idea" designed by the startup team to take advantage of the immature stage of the Internet at that time... to put it bluntly, it was the earliest "online fraud".

Now, we're leveraging the connections in the film and television industry that Hong Kong diva Cheng Sau-man has.

He not only had to snatch this "money-making" project first, but also avoid the situation where the original founding team put in a lot of effort only to be tricked by the film company in the end...

I only gnawed on the bones and watched others eat meat, which was almost a huge piece of fat!

He wants to firmly grasp all the initiative and maximize his gains! He wants to take the first step into the film and television industry well.

They put an investment of less than $6 into their own "bowl" of a project that could later grow more than 4100 times and gross $2.48 million worldwide... and that's just the box office revenue.
