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

Being a screenwriter isn't impossible, but you can't do it full-time.

In He Xi's memory, there doesn't seem to be anyone in Hong Kong who can become a star and make a lot of money simply by relying on screenwriting skills.

People like Gu Long and Ni Kuang only switched to screenwriting after their novels became popular.

He Xi could switch careers to become a screenwriter and writer.

But with his physique and looks, it's a real shame he doesn't act.

and.

Acting makes it easier to become famous and attract female celebrities.

This naturally makes it easier to generate tasks and rewards.

Therefore, screenwriting can only ever be a part-time job.

Even when He Xi earns tens of millions in salary for a single film, he might not even care about the meager salary of a screenwriter.

While receiving his scriptwriting fee for "Hail the Judge", Stephen Chow also finalized the role of He Xi with Tsui Hark's studio.

The filming schedule was set for two months later, and the final salary was also set at 5 yuan.

It has increased significantly compared to [King of Destruction].

However, He Xi only received 1 yuan, with very little more.

But He Xi was very happy.

If you have acting opportunities, you'll get exposure.

Needless to say, he starred alongside Stephen Chow in a classic role that will be remembered in film history.

Chang Wei, he's a classic villain who's no less impressive than Master Duan Shui Liu.

For some people, encountering such a person once in their lifetime is like having their ancestors' graves emitting auspicious smoke.

He Xi encountered two at once.

Although there's a tendency for him to become a specialist in playing villains, as long as the villain is strong enough, there's nothing unacceptable about it.

A few days later, filming for "King of Destruction" came to an end.

He Xi's scenes have also officially wrapped up filming.

"Congratulations to Xi Zai on wrapping up filming!"

As the main villain in the film, and having signed a subsequent cooperation agreement with Stephen Chow, He Xi has gained some status in the crew.

The crew specially opened a bottle of champagne for him to celebrate the completion of filming.

Christy Chung smiled and presented him with a bouquet of flowers and a hug.

They should have been embracing and kissing.

However, as mentioned before, both of their careers are in the early stages of growth, so it's not appropriate for them to go public.

It's always better to keep a low profile in front of others.

Let's talk about the rest after we finish work and go home.

That evening, Christy Chung was very enthusiastic.

This sexy goddess, who grew up in Canada, transforms directly into a valiant knight...

He Xi could only obediently lie flat...

Three days later, near Hung Hom MTR station in Kowloon City, He Xi walked into a high-rise apartment building.

This is different from the kind of housing estates depicted in movies like "Young and Dangerous" and others, which are like pigeon coops without toilets or kitchens.

The apartment has an interior area of ​​nearly 90 square meters, with two bedrooms, a spacious living room, and a separate kitchen and bathroom.

Moreover, the decoration is quite nice; even thirty years from now, it won't be considered outdated.

Such houses have a legendary name on Hong Kong Island: "Thousand-Square-Foot Mansion"!

The unit of measurement for area on Hong Kong Island is square feet.

1000 square feet is approximately equal to 93 square meters.

Owning such a 1,000-square-foot mansion is the lifelong dream of almost all young people on Hong Kong Island.

He Xi is still a long way from realizing this dream.

In this location, a house like this would cost over a million.

With his current salary level, he might not be able to afford it even after working for ten years.

However, he had a signing fee of 10 yuan from Tsui Hark, plus a screenwriting fee of 5 yuan from Stephen Chow.

He Xi could easily rent a thousand-square-foot mansion.

The landlord of this house is called Mrs. Liang. She looks to be in her thirties, is good-looking, and has very well-maintained skin.

He Xi only learned this after talking with him.

Mrs. Leung is over forty years old and has a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, who are seventeen years old and studying in the pre-secondary stage.

"It's hard to believe, Mrs. Leung, that you have two seventeen-year-old children. They're only two years younger than me!"

"But you look almost exactly like my sister!"

Hearing He Xi's praise, Mrs. Liang smiled so much her eyes disappeared.

"Handsome guy, you have such a nice voice!"

"Even if you praise me like that, I still won't charge you less rent!"

He Xi smiled and shook her head.

"I genuinely feel that you're young and beautiful, and it has nothing to do with whether you reduce the rent or not."

"By the way, I studied in Canada before, and my grades in English, Mandarin, and math were all pretty good."

"If your child needs help, I can help."

The Form 7 pre-university program is the final year before the Hong Kong Island university entrance examination, and its importance is self-evident.

Many Hong Kong parents who hope their children can get into university feel much the same way as the parents of high school seniors thirty years from now.

When conditions permit, they are not stingy in hiring tutors and providing guidance for their children.

In fact, He Xi's college entrance examination results were not ideal.

But the landlady didn't know!

His current status as a Canadian university student is, in the eyes of many parents, a synonym for a high achiever.

It's perfectly reasonable to charge a higher fee if you want him to tutor you.

He Xi doesn't have much work now, and she doesn't earn much either.

Making use of your spare time to earn extra money is not a bad thing.

Sure enough, as soon as He Xi finished speaking, Mrs. Liang's face lit up.

"You're a university student, and you studied abroad?"

"It just so happens that my daughter's English has always been a weak point. If you have some time, could you please help her catch up?"

He Xi readily agreed.

Before he could even attend a single class, Xu Ke called him away.

"Master Ba has a new movie to shoot, and he needs a villain who can fight."

"I heard from Ah Dong that you did a great job on the set of 'King of Destruction', so I recommended you to Master Ba."

"Why don't you give it a try?"

Eighth Master is Yuan Heping.

He collaborated with Tsui Hark on "Once Upon a Time in China II" and has worked with him many times since, so they have a pretty good relationship.

Moreover, the Hong Kong Island social circle is not very large, so when people need help, they help and recommend each other.

Therefore, after He Xi signed with Xu Ke Studio, she never filmed any of her boss's dramas. Instead, she worked with Cheng Xiaodong and Yuan Heping, which is quite common in the industry.

After all, Xu Ke Studio had just signed Zhao Wenzhuo, a martial arts champion from mainland China, with the aim of training him to be the next Jet Li.

It's normal that they don't have the time or energy to pay attention to He Xi.

As an unappreciated newcomer, He Xi was already grateful to have any roles to play, so naturally she wouldn't be picky.

What's more, he was working under an industry heavyweight like Yuan Heping.

If you perform well, you'll have plenty of opportunities to shine later.

Upon arriving at the address given by Xu Ke, He Xi saw an extremely familiar face as soon as she entered the door.

"You are... Brother Jie?"

Yeah, not that guy, Brother Jie, who smells so good...

It was Jet Li, the kung fu emperor, who made Wong Fei-hung a symbol of an era.

Beside Li Lianjie were several familiar faces.

Yang Ziqiong, Yuan Jieying, Liu Xun...

Looking at these people, He Xi suddenly felt that she had guessed what the play was about.
