Huayu 93, I'm the ceiling of combat power from the moment I appear.
Chapter 1 The Master Brother Duan Shui Liu with a Comic Book-Torn Face
In August 1993, at Shaw Studios in Clearwater Bay, Hong Kong Island, in the dressing room of the film "King of Destruction".
Two men in their thirties stood with their arms crossed, stroking their chins, looking at each other with slightly lewd eyes.
There, a tall and strong young man who looked to be around twenty years old had a very embarrassed expression.
"Brother Xing, Director, can you two be a little more serious?"
"Even though I'm standing facing you right now, I don't know why I feel a chill down my backside."
The young man's name is He Xi. A month ago, he was a lazy, middle-aged man who slacked off at work, watched videos of pretty girls dancing, and had saved a bunch of fitness videos but couldn't do anything about it.
One day, he woke up to find himself in Hong Kong Island more than 30 years ago, transformed into a 19-year-old hunky man who was 188 cm tall, muscular, and looked as ordinary as Louis Koo.
The original owner's parents were from Hong Kong Island, and he was born in the United States, grew up in Taiwan Island, and was sent to Canada to study a few years ago.
A week ago, when he returned to Hong Kong Island for summer vacation, he was discovered by a talent scout and recommended to Tsui Hark.
Xu Ke was very impressed with his image and wanted to sign him as an actor.
However, the original owner hesitated because he had not yet finished university, and staying in Hong Kong to film would affect his studies.
Moreover, his strict father would absolutely not agree to him dropping out of school.
That very night, He Xi transmigrated.
After figuring out the whole story, He Xi didn't hesitate for long.
With the opportunity to act, earn money, and become a big star, who would want to go back to work and study at that lousy university?
He Xi didn't want to experience anything like the original owner's experiences in Canada, where she washed dishes, mowed lawns, cleaned toilets, and was bullied and isolated by her foreign classmates.
Although Hong Kong films had already reached their peak in 93 and were gradually declining.
However, even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse. As long as you catch this last ride, you can gain a certain degree of fame in the Hong Kong entertainment circle.
A few years later, she moved to the mainland as a Hong Kong star, and in the early 2000s, she was definitely a top star and incredibly popular in the Chinese entertainment industry.
If I work hard for a few years, I can marry a top-tier actress born in the 85s, open a film and television company, be my own boss, make movies and earn easy money, and live a very comfortable life.
Moreover, He Xi remembers all the World Cup champions from 02 to 22 very clearly.
When the time comes, I can buy whatever I want and become a bigwig in the Chinese entertainment industry.
As for nationality...
In this day and age, U.S. citizenship still offers certain advantages and conveniences.
He Xi plans to wait until after 2000 to find a suitable opportunity to return to Hong Kong Island.
Then he can announce in public, "I am Mr. He Xi of China, not Mr. He Xi of America."
His popularity skyrocketed!
The next day, He Xi signed an artist contract with Xu Ke.
He received a HK$100,000 signing bonus on a three-year newcomer contract, and his commission on subsequent brokerage business is 80%.
The amount of money wasn't much, and the commission rate was quite high, but He Xi didn't think it mattered.
Newcomers lack platforms, not money.
It's good enough to have something to take; why would you want a bicycle?
Once you gain fame, will you still have little money?
After signing the contract, it just so happened that Xu Ke was not currently filming any movies.
So He Xi was sent by him to work as an extra in the film crew of his old friend Cheng Xiaodong to gain experience.
Cheng Xiaodong is the action director for "King of Destruction".
I am very familiar with the male lead Stephen Chow and the director Li Lichi, and we have a lot of contact.
He Xi was so tall and handsome that he was discovered by the two of them just a few days later.
Then, he became the actor who played the role of Master Duan Shui Liu.
The role that Li Ming's younger brother was most capable of was snatched away just like that...
Stephen Chow and Li Lichi had been sitting with their arms crossed and chins rubbing, staring at He Xi lewdly for half an hour.
However, the specific makeup design has not yet been finalized.
Director Li Lichi believes that since the character of Master Duan Shui Liu is a villain, he should act like a villain.
In terms of appearance and clothing, they must reveal the characteristics of villains. Like the judo club captain, Kurokuma, from his hairstyle to his expression, he must be someone people hate at first glance.
However, Stephen Chow, who is also a "super director", believes that the better the villain's image, the more satisfying it will be for the audience when he falls from grace!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have searched for Li Ming based on his appearance in his original timeline.
Seeing the two arguing, He Xi could only pretend to be mute.
They're all big shots; no one can afford to offend them.
All he needs to do is fulfill his duties as a newcomer and obediently follow instructions.
After more than ten minutes, Li Lichi finally gave in.
In fact, he was just a tool in the director's game.
Stephen Chow is the true director of "King of Destruction".
After dominating the Hong Kong box office charts for three consecutive years, Stephen Chow's reputation improved not only, but also his temper and status on set.
Since last year's "Flirting Scholar", he has been the "man of the house" on set.
He would get involved in everything, big or small, and often changed lines and scripts on the spot, even controlling camera angles and actors' performances.
Having collaborated with him many times, Li Lichi had long since given up resisting and gotten used to his role as a tool.
Soon, the makeup artist completed He Xi's styling according to Stephen Chow's ideas.
Dressed in a Japanese school uniform, with black-rimmed glasses and a school cap, he looked every bit the handsome senior from a Japanese anime.
He looks more handsome, stronger, and more refined than Lam Kwok-Bun in the original "King of Destruction".
In modern terms, he has an absolutely comic book-like face.
"Not bad, looks very refined, but is actually a scoundrel!"
Stephen Chow clapped his hands and praised.
He Xi remained silent, only scratching his head and grinning foolishly.
The girls around them had tears in their eyes and huddled together, chattering and whispering.
After saying only a few words, her face turned completely red.
He Xi ignored them and turned to go find Cheng Xiaodong to learn martial arts moves.
In both his lifetimes, he had never learned any fighting skills.
The form is fine now, but I still need to learn some karate, at least to learn a decent stance.
After all, this is an era that values real skill, not just striking poses or empty gestures.
At this moment, a beautiful and voluptuous girl ran over and started talking to Stephen Chow, gesturing and talking.
Stephen Chow looked completely helpless.
The other person was speaking English, and he... couldn't understand it!
However, he didn't call a translator; instead, he grabbed He Xi.
"Xi-zai, aren't you studying at a university abroad? Your English must be very good."
"They just happened to be here to translate for us."
After Stephen Chow finished speaking, the stunning girl looked at He Xi with anticipation.
"I need to speak with Brother Xing. Could you please translate for me?"
At the same time, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang in He Xi's mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, the 'Good Person in the Entertainment Industry' system has been activated!]
