Huayu 93, I'm the ceiling of combat power from the moment I appear.

With the ability to break through water flow in karate, plus the added strength of the muscles honed through more than ten years of karate training.

For He Xi, the remaining filming of "King of Destruction" was basically no longer a challenge.

Even close-up shots require complex changes in eyes and expressions.

He Xi can also briefly activate a high-energy state to assist her and easily cope with the situation.

Therefore, the subsequent filming proceeded very smoothly.

The only slight regret is that He Xi didn't get a chance to use the villainous acting skills that he secretly learned from Zheng Haonan.

According to Stephen Chow, that's how it is.

"Ah Xi, our movie is a comedy, not a horror movie."

"Master Duan Shui Liu can be domineering, forceful, and ruthless, making him disliked, but he cannot be a pervert..."

"Your expression, like that of a psychopathic killer, is so convincing—no, it doesn't look like acting at all; it really does look like a psychopath."

"However, that's not what we need."

"How about this, we'll do it next time!"

"Next time, I'll have the screenwriter write a story about a psychopathic killer who commits violent murders, and then you can act in that kind of role, okay?"

He Xi's face, which had initially shown some disappointment, became excited again after hearing Stephen Chow's words.

"Brother Xing, does this count as a role offer?"

"Don't worry, I'm just a newbie, I'm cheap, and I have plenty of time."

"I promise I'll be there whenever you need me."

"However, could you elaborate on the character of that psychopathic killer you just mentioned?"

"What are the characters' backgrounds? What's the story synopsis? Who's the director? When does filming start?"

He Xi is preparing to 'create' the script for "Hail the Judge".

However, to prevent a collision, we should first get some information from Stephen Chow.

Bie Wangjing has already finished the script and has contacted him.

That would be awkward.

The original script for "Hail the Judge" was inspired by Wang Jing's observation of the wildly popular TV series "Justice Bao," a joint production between Taiwan and Hong Kong.

The TV series "Justice Bao" premiered in February of this year and has since become a hit across mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

Wang Jing might actually already have some ideas.

Upon hearing He Xi's question, Stephen Chow suddenly frowned.

"What are the characters' backgrounds, the story synopsis, and the director who started filming?"

"I was just saying!"

"We don't have enough money right now, the actors haven't been cast, and there's no script yet!"

He Xi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems this first place is mine.

"Brother Xing, it's like this."

"I happen to have a story about a psychopathic killer who committed multiple murders. Want me to tell you about it? See if you think it's worth it?"

Stephen Chow leaned back slightly and glanced sideways at He Xi's strong muscles.

"You...can also write copies?"

He Xi pouted.

"I am a student at the Ontario College of Art & Design in Canada. After signing a contract with director Tsui Hark, I took a leave of absence."

"When I was in school, I was also exposed to acting and scriptwriting, and I also tried to write some short stories myself."

"Recently, I watched the Taiwanese CTS series 'Justice Bao,' which reminded me of a story."

When Stephen Chow heard that He Xi was a college student, he immediately felt a sense of respect.

Immediately afterwards, He Xi told him the whole story of "Hail the Judge".

It all started when Bao Longxing bought his official position, was publicly humiliated by Fang Tangjing, and was branded a corrupt official.

He helped the Qi family overturn their case and became a true upright and just official.

He told the whole story in a very organized and detailed manner.

The story includes Chang Wei's defilement of the Qi family's young mistress, the murder of thirteen members of the Qi family, the beating of Lai Fu, and his imprisonment by Bao Longxing.

He Xi wasn't afraid that after hearing the complete story, Stephen Chow would bypass him as the screenwriter and directly take the script to film.

A script itself isn't worth much money.

People who can write good screenplays are more valuable.

Stephen Chow is a smart man; he probably wouldn't do something so short-sighted as to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

He Xi told the whole story in order to gain the upper hand.

Wang Jing was very busy during this period. Even if he had the idea to film "Hail the Judge", it would most likely just be a story outline, with the content not exceeding one page at most.

Moreover, his habit when filming is to write the script while filming.

He didn't even know what he was supposed to film the next day until that evening.

It's virtually impossible to write the complete script in advance.

So even if Wang Jing brings the idea of ​​"Hail the Judge" to Stephen Chow tomorrow...

Compared to He Xi's version of the story, which is so detailed that even the night watchman saw Chang Wei beating Lai Fu, it can only be considered a later version.

He Xi has already seized the initiative.

After hearing the full story, Stephen Chow's eyes widened in astonishment.

"Ah Xi, your story is fantastic, very insightful!"

"I never imagined you could actually be a screenwriter, and that you could really write stories!"

"The story can be expanded from Chang Wei, a vicious and deranged killer, to Bao Longxing, a descendant of Bao Zheng."

"And there were so many plot twists, so many hilarious scenes, and so many interesting ideas!"

"As expected of a college student, they're really talented!"

"How about this, sell me your story, and I'll give you 5 yuan as a scriptwriting fee, how about it?"

"However, during filming, you'll need to come to the production team as a screenwriter to help me refine the script and dialogue, and by the way..."

At this point, Stephen Chow looked again at He Xi's strong muscles.

"You'll continue playing the role of Chang Wei!"

"Hmm, the kind of psychopathic killer vibe you had just exuded is perfect for playing Chang Wei!"

"As for the salary for this role..."

He Xi raised her hand, interrupting Stephen Chow.

"Brother Xing, thank you for liking my script, and thank you for giving me this opportunity."

"A screenwriting fee of 5 yuan at once? I've never even dreamed of seeing so much money!"

"I have no problem playing the role of Chang Wei."

"However, you may need to discuss the salary with my boss. After all, I also have an actor contract, so I don't have the final say."

"Of course, don't worry, I'm very cheap!"

As a contracted actor with Tsui Hark's studio, He Xi's choice of which production team to work for and how much she earns are all determined by her boss; she has no say in the matter herself.

However, the contract he signed with Tsui Hark was only an actor contract.

Screenwriters, directors, and singers are not included.

Therefore, the 5 yuan screenwriting fee does not need to be shared with Xu Ke Studio; it belongs entirely to him.

Two and a half days later, He Xi handed the revised script to Stephen Chow.

And he received 5 yuan in scriptwriting fees from the other party.

Looking at the thick stack of thousand-yuan bills that smelled of ink, He Xi suddenly felt as if she had opened up a new way of thinking.

Actors have long filming schedules, spend every day with the crew, and also have to pay commissions to Xu Ke's studio.

Too much work, too little pay, and far from home.

Writing a screenplay, on the other hand, only requires sitting at home and can earn 5 yuan per script.

Relax and enjoy.

Why don't you just switch to screenwriting as a career?
