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

"You really are..."

Zhang Min had intended to drag out certain people to scare He Xi, but he swallowed the words back.

It's just being an assistant, nothing special.

Anyway, she had already done it on the set of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", and many people knew that she had long admired He Xi and wanted to win him over.

Even if the big boss finds out, she has a reason to explain.

Moreover, Zhang Min was also quite concerned about another matter.

"You're incredibly busy right now, being the boyfriend of the 'Jade Girl' icon, filming, recording albums, and... directing too. Are you sure you'll have the time?"

"Also, could you tell me a little about your film?"

"Perhaps I can offer you some assistance, or even... investment, or a role!"

Zhang Min had always thought highly of He Xi and wanted to bring him into Yong Sheng and make him part of his team.

Now that he's Zhou Huimin's boyfriend, Zhang Min is not angry at all; instead, she's even more determined to stick to her previous idea.

Indeed, great minds think alike!

Zhou Huimin must have seen He Xi's extraordinary qualities, which is why she made the decisive move and announced it directly to the media.

So Zhang Min is serious; she can invest several million herself.

He Xi suddenly felt that she might have been a little... too conservative before?

Yuan Jieying provided an investment of 300 million yuan.

Vivian Chow has also said she will support all his decisions, including investing in his films.

Now Zhang Min has proposed to invest again.

Taking all three factors into account, we might be able to come up with a total investment of over 1000 million?

There's no need to make any low-budget comedies or horror films; you can just go for big productions!

How about a sci-fi movie?

However, filming a sci-fi movie on Hong Kong Island seems quite sci-fi.

Looking back and forward, there seem to be no examples of Hong Kong science fiction films achieving great box office success.

Last year, Tsui Hark produced a film called "Wicked City," which had a very good world view and setting, and the special effects were quite excellent for this era.

Moreover, stars such as Leon Lai, Jacky Cheung, Michelle Reis, and Carman Lee joined the cast, and Miss Hong Kong Lee even claimed to have contributed a large-scale performance.

The hype is off the charts.

In the end, the box office barely exceeded 1000 million.

It's fair to say they've lost everything.

If He Xi were to make a science fiction film, the result would most likely be the same.

Unless he can come up with enough money to hire a Hollywood special effects company to create special effects comparable to those of Star Wars or Jurassic Park.

Otherwise, they'll make low-budget, concept-driven soft science fiction films with few actors and little variation in setting.

Believe it or not, there actually seem to be some suitable ones later on!

Three words suddenly appeared in He Xi's mind.

He Xi raised an eyebrow, but then immediately suppressed her thoughts.

Even for soft science fiction films, it requires tens of millions of dollars in investment and the boost of star power.

Moreover, the production cycle is relatively long, which is not suitable for my current situation.

So let's focus on figuring out "form is emptiness" first.

Soon, filming for "Hail the Judge" officially began.

There are many characters in this movie.

Besides the female characters He Xi had met before, there were also many outstanding characters with a lot of screen time, such as Bao Youwei, Leopard Head, Fang Tangjing, the Emperor, Ru Hua, and Lai Fu.

He Xi's portrayal of Chang Wei, despite his innate superhuman strength, is full of character tension.

Some scenes are so infuriating they make your teeth itch.

But in reality, he was just a supporting actor with a relatively small and concentrated role, so he didn't need to stay on set all the time.

Moreover, He Xi has mastered professional-level villain acting skills and can even copy the original performance without any problems.

Basically, you can get it in one take.

The entire shooting process, from start to finish, took less than five days.

However, he wrote the script for this play, and the production team paid him 5 yuan for the script, so naturally they wouldn't let him take the money easily.

So he also has to do screenwriting work.

Director, lead actor, leading lady, supporting actress... whenever someone feels the script is unsuitable and needs revisions, he has to revise it anytime, anywhere.

They need to be on standby at all times on set.

Fortunately, he had already written out the complete script according to the original timeline, so there weren't many things that needed to be modified.

With Zhang Min's help, there's virtually no chance that even a dog could make him change the script.

However, his identity as a screenwriter made it easier for him to build connections within the production crew and find suitable staff members, and even actors.

"Form is Emptiness" requires a lot of actors, so it's best to find some inexpensive but reliable supporting actors to play the roles.

For example, Lee Geon-in is tall and has great facial expressions, which makes him quite suitable for the role played by Choi Sung-guk, the Kim Gwan-jang.

Furthermore, it would allow him to replicate a "Ru Hua" look, adding some laughs and riding on Stephen Chow's popularity.

Lee Kin-yan originally worked behind the scenes, but because he was a high school classmate of Stephen Chow, he was mentored by Chow and occasionally got to play a role.

She has already appeared in "King of Beggars", "Flirting Scholar" and now "Hail the Judge", and has played the role of Ru Hua in all of them.

Today, she has become synonymous with "Ru Hua" and is well-known to many of Stephen Chow's movie fans.

This is definitely something we can do.

In addition, there is Yuanqiongdan.

Choi Sung-guk's on-screen partner, the role of the head of the aerobics club, is actually more suitable for Sandra Ng to play.

However, the other party is now a leading actor and is more expensive, while Sister Pomegranate, who specializes in supporting roles, is more cost-effective.

"Sister Dan, are you busy afterwards?"

During a break from filming, He Xi approached Yuan Qiongdan.

The two barely had any scenes together in the film, a rare occurrence even for someone without the screenwriter's involvement.

Upon seeing He Xi approach, Yuan Qiongdan immediately raised an eyebrow.

"Not busy, why?"

"You want to date me?"

"cough!"

He Xi almost choked on her saliva and coughed violently.

Yuan Qiongdan laughed.

"I'm definitely fine!"

"Even if my opponent is the Jade Maiden Sect Leader, I absolutely won't let her win. Let's all rely on our own abilities!"

"To be honest, I'm proficient in all sorts of secret arts from both the East and West, which will definitely make you so happy you won't want to leave!"

As she spoke, she winked at He Xi, giving him a knowing look.

He Xi was completely devastated.

If it were a few years ago, before Yuan Qiongdan was ruined by Stephen Chow's movies, he really wouldn't mind having a deeper conversation with her.

Yuan Qiongdan looks old, but she is actually only 30 years old, just two years older than Liu Hongmei, and four years younger than another woman coveted by many, Aunt Liu.

The fact that Aunt Liu is so popular and even became a popular female protagonist in entertainment novels means that Yuan Qiongdan's age is certainly not an issue.

The problem still lies with Stephen Chow.

Sister Pomegranate is really too discouraging...

It can only be said that Stephen Chow made them, and Stephen Chow also ruined them.

Yuan Qiongdan achieved fame as she wished, but she was no longer associated with the word "beauty".

At that moment, a dangerous thought suddenly popped into He Xi's mind.

If Yuan Qiongdan asks him for help, will he help or not?
