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

"What child? When did you get a child? Am I a cuckold?"

"wrong!"

He Xi's mind was a little foggy.

Yuan Jieying was referring to the loss of her child.

Does that mean you were supposed to become a father, but unexpectedly lost the opportunity?

Just as He Xi's mind was completely blank, Yuan Jieying rushed over with a stack of papers.

"Axi, the story you wrote for me is so touching!"

"If I could meet someone who treats me so well, someone who will never abandon me, I wouldn't hesitate to give them my life, let alone 300 million!"

He Xi then realized what was going on.

Yuan Jieying said that she is the female lead in the script he wrote last night, "Sex Is Zero".

They agreed last night that investor Yuan Jieying would play the female lead.

Bringing investment into the team is considered...

"Axi, I really didn't expect you could write such a wonderful story."

"I can't wait to act in it."

He Xi smiled and shook her head.

Making movies is not that simple.

【Form is Emptiness】Although it is an urban comedy, there are no big scenes and no need for a martial arts team to use wires, which saves a lot of trouble.

However, even a small sparrow must have all the vital organs.

We need to recruit staff for photography, props, lighting, costumes, and makeup.

More importantly, the actors.

The male lead is a loser, which is inconsistent with He Xi's character.

So he definitely can't act it himself.

We need to find an actor who can deliver comedic effect, is a bit old, and is cheap enough.

There are no suitable candidates in He Xi's WeChat Moments from Hong Kong Island at the moment.

Or, how about we find actors from mainland China to play the roles?

Hu Jun, He Bing, or perhaps...

Zhao Benshan!?

When the name finally popped into her mind, He Xi was startled.

Uncle Benshan's acting skills are definitely not a problem.

If there were an opportunity to come to Hong Kong Island to film a movie and play the male lead to earn foreign exchange, I probably wouldn't refuse.

It would be a bit too incongruous to cast him, with his wrinkled, shoe-shaped face, to play a college student.

and so……

Why don't you try contacting them?

Suppressing her wild thoughts, He Xi fed Yuan Jieying a nutritious breakfast.

While he was eating, his mobile phone suddenly rang.

This was prepared for him by Xu Ke after he returned to Hong Kong yesterday.

He Xi's status has risen significantly, and although the company's commission rate remains unchanged, the necessary benefits must be prepared.

The mobile phone is just one of them.

They are also hiring assistants and other staff.

He Xi originally had no work today and could have taken a day off.

The two films he signed haven't started filming yet, and he no longer needs to run around to different film sets like before, giving him some free time to manage.

This can be considered a perk of increased fame.

However, Xu Ke received a phone call early in the morning.

"They're offering you a leading role. It's a big director, and you'll be working with Brigitte Lin and Faye Wong."

"I've already agreed to it. Go to the audition now. The address is..."

After explaining some precautions, Xu Ke hung up the phone.

He Xi patted Yuan Jieying's hair, signaling her to continue.

Let's eat first and then talk.

As for the movie that Tsui Hark mentioned, he really wasn't interested.

Director Wong Kar-wai is a true master director. His 88 film, "As Tears Go By," grossed over 1100 million HKD and was nominated for Best Director at both the Golden Horse Awards and the Hong Kong Film Awards.

He became famous overnight.

Then, he directed the classic film "Days of Being Wild," which won both the Golden Horse and Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Director and became a cinematic legend.

However, despite winning numerous awards, "Days of Being Wild" flopped so badly at the box office that it made investors regret their decision.

He really vomited blood.

Featuring six superstars—Leslie Cheung, Maggie Cheung, Carina Lau, Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, and Tony Leung—the film took a year and a half to make and had a total investment of 3900 million.

Ultimately, it was pulled from theaters after only 12 days, grossing only 975 million yuan at the box office.

It is said that at the time, investor tycoon Deng almost had someone kill Wong Kar-wai.

After decades of hard work, with the mindset of a noodle seller, he was involved in gambling and smuggling. The family fortune he had painstakingly accumulated was almost squandered in one fell swoop.

Wong Kar-wai didn't die; Boss Deng really has the heart of a bodhisattva.

Perhaps because he survived such a close call, Wong Kar-wai's heart became wild.

I want to start my own company and make films.

Then came the aforementioned film, "Ashes of Time," which took two and a half years to film and has yet to be released.

Working with a director like this not only causes suffering for investors, but also for actors.

Each scene had to be filmed dozens of times. Leaving aside the specific issues, it just felt very mysterious.

Following him, actors don't go to make movies, but to gain enlightenment.

Even if she could win an award, He Xi wouldn't want to suffer that ordeal.

Therefore, he was in a very peaceful state of mind at that moment.

Only after feeding Yuan Jieying until she was completely full did he wash up, change his clothes, and take a taxi to the address Xu Ke had given him.

After meeting, Old Wang, who was wearing sunglasses, couldn't make out his expression, but there was a hint of a smile on his face.

"Ah Xi, we meet again!"

He Xi also greeted her with a smile.

"Director Wang, it's a pleasure to see you again."

The two had met briefly before on the set of the movie "God of Gamblers II".

At the time, Wong Kar-wai had a very good impression of Ho He and even had the idea of ​​casting him in a movie.

So they were very friendly.

He Xi had no expectations for this role, so she was very relaxed and had no concern about winning or losing.

When exchanging pleasantries with Wong Kar-wai, he was very polite, but not overly humble, and his expression carried a sense of calm and nonchalance.

Unexpectedly, Wong Kar-wai saw it differently.

"This young man, Cha De, has a reputation that is not without merit, yet he is not arrogant at all. When he sees us, his seniors in the martial arts world, he shows no humility or obsequiousness whatsoever. Moreover, he is quite handsome, truly a gentleman, a dragon among men!" (doge emoji)

In short, the corners of Sunglasses King's mouth couldn't help but turn up, and he couldn't wait to speak.

"You know Jingwen, right? The two of you are going to act together. The plot is about how you two reunite after a long separation, and when you meet again, you have become the person each other dreamed of being."

"that's all……"

After he finished speaking, the slender girl with big eyes who had been sitting quietly to the side stood up.

"Hello Mr. He, I am Wang Jingwen."

"Hello, Sister Wen, just call me Axi!"

He Xi smiled and returned the greeting, but a lot of questions suddenly arose in her mind.

The woman in front of us, Wang Jingwen, debuted as a singer in 89. Her first album sold for gold record status, and last year she won the "Top Ten Jade Solid Gold Songs" and "Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs".

She quickly rose to become one of the top female singers in Hong Kong.

Wang Jingwen is her stage name. Next year she will change it back to her real name, Faye Wong!

However, that's not the point.

The key point is that he has already guessed what movie Wong Kar-wai is going to make next.

Originally, he thought he was there to audition for the role that Mr. Jin Cheng from the original timeline was playing.

However, Wong Kar-wai paired him up with Faye Wong.

Is he trying to replace Leung Chiu-wai as the male lead?
