Chapter 10: Treat the audience like family, you bastard!
"hiss!"
Looking at the big screen, He Xi suddenly gasped.
These people making movies for third graders are really pushing the boundaries.
Surname, Zero Moist, Interspersed Shark, Sinking Master...
Content that would be censored if written down is not only filmed in great detail, but is also brazenly shown to the audience.
and……
Wu Xuewen, who plays the second female lead, the victim, has a really nice figure...
Her curves are no worse than Chung Li-ti's.
No wonder it achieved a final box office of 1370 million, surpassing the box office of classic films such as "Tai Chi Master," "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber," and "Swordsman II."
Hong Kong viewers these days really know how to eat well!
After expressing her feelings, He Xi lifted her legs, shifted to a more comfortable sitting position, and watched the images on the big screen intently.
At the same time, silently recite it in your mind.
"High-energy moment begins!"
In the high-energy state, the actress's genitals become clearer, including the rhythm of some muscles and color changes, which can be seen very clearly.
However, He Xi focused her attention on the villain Zheng Haonan.
There's only one Ho-Nam in Causeway Bay, and that's Szeto Ho-Nam!
Zheng Haonan is the tough guy who played Situ Haonan in the movie "Young and Dangerous 4" (1998), and fought Chen Haonan in the ring.
He's 180cm tall and has huge, hard muscles.
Add to that a naturally villainous face, and he's born to be a powerful villainous boss.
If it weren't for the plot, judging by his physique and the professionalism of his movements, he could definitely have beaten Chan Ho-nam's shit out.
Unfortunately, he was ultimately just a villain.
However, Zheng Haonan's acting skills are also quite good.
Especially when he was assaulting Wu Xuewen, the malice emanating from his very bones made He Xi feel a chill run down her spine.
"If these expressions were put into the movie 'King of Destruction' and added to the character of Master Duan Shui Liu, I wonder if it would make the character stand out more."
He Xi pondered to herself.
He's a newcomer with virtually no acting skills. On set, he relies entirely on "high-energy time" to recreate the actors' performances from the original timeline.
This cheating method is very effective, allowing He Xi to instantly become the senior disciple of Duan Shui Liu without needing to learn acting skills.
However, the drawbacks are also obvious.
If he encounters a movie that didn't exist in his original timeline or that he hasn't seen, then he'll be completely lost.
Blacksmith need its own hardware.
Simply using "high-energy moments" to recreate a performance can only provide temporary relief, not long-term sustainability.
Improving acting skills and enriching oneself through high-energy performance is the long-term solution.
Given He Xi's current status, it's practically impossible for him to play the male lead.
So, first learn how to act like a villain and build your own skill set!
"This guy, this weirdo-like behavior, it really doesn't seem like he's acting!"
As He Xi was reminiscing, she suddenly heard a crunching sound coming from beside her.
He turned his head and saw Christy Chung looking at the screen with a disgusted expression, muttering to herself.
"This guy is insane."
"He was dressed in a suit and tie, and had a respectable job as a lawyer, but who would have thought he was a psychopath who preyed on people with sharp fangs!"
"And yet, at first I actually thought he was quite handsome!"
"Scum! Degenerate! Disgusting!"
Although she said that, her eyes were very bright, and she was chewing popcorn with a crunching sound, her eyes shining brightly.
This expression and demeanor formed a stark contrast to the women around them who had already huddled in their male partners' arms, whimpering and hesitant.
Seeing He Xi turn her head, Zhong Liti smiled and handed her popcorn.
"Want some?"
He Xi suddenly felt that bringing Zhong Liti to see a horror trilogy might have been a mistake.
This is a "banana" – a person born and raised in Canada with a Western education, who has a strong immunity to horror and erotic content.
The idea that she should be like a little girl, cowering in a boy's arms for comfort after being scared by a horror movie, is a bit of an overreaction.
As for the rustling sounds and even the sounds of mining coming from the surroundings, Chung Li-ti was highly immune to them.
Anyone who's seen "American Pie" knows that high school students in Europe and America have way more elaborate activities than these.
These are all child's play.
When she saw something exciting, Christy Chung even clapped and cheered.
That expression was exactly like Ali in "Lord of Destruction," where she was eating snacks with Black Bear's henchmen while watching Black Bear get beaten up.
For Christy Chung, the role of Ali was truly a natural fit.
Although the original timeline of "King of Destruction" ultimately lost to Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-fat, and Leslie Cheung during the 94 Lunar New Year film season...
However, the problem does not lie with Christy Chung.
After four consecutive years of dominating the Hong Kong film charts, it's normal for Stephen Chow's career to experience a period of decline and stagnation.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have continued to collaborate with Christy Chung on several films afterward, and even had her play his first love in "The God of Cookery".
He Xi reached out and grabbed a handful of popcorn, then turned back to continue watching the movie.
Since I didn't get the horror movie experience I wanted, I might as well focus on watching the film and learning acting skills. I can't waste an hour and a half and the money for two movie tickets.
Soon, with Zheng Haonan's fall, the movie ended.
He Xi has gained a lot.
Now, if you asked him to play a seemingly refined but morally corrupt lawyer/sharp-haired criminal, he could capture some of the essence of the character.
The movie ended, but the stories around us seemed to be far from over.
When He Xi got up, she found that many people were still in their seats, and the sounds of humming and hawing had not stopped.
"Wow, you have so much energy!"
Zhong Liti sighed with admiration, then pulled He Xi along and quickly walked out of the movie theater.
It was nearly midnight when He Xi hailed a taxi and took Zhong Liti back to her residence.
In the car, Christy Chung seemed quite excited as she talked about the plot of the movie she had just watched.
"That movie was really well made."
"That male actor, is his name Zheng Haonan?"
"Judging from his expression and movements, he really seems like a hardened shark criminal; it doesn't feel like acting at all!"
"And Wu Xuewen has a pretty good figure too, *slurp*"
"It's a pity that Chingmy Yau didn't show any skin; it just didn't feel sincere!"
He Xi was also quite disappointed by this.
Chingmy Yau!
She is definitely one of the top-tier goddesses among Hong Kong's female celebrities.
But it was supposed to be a three-part series, but it didn't include anything.
This is a case of false advertising; it deserves a bad review!
Why can't they learn from Hollywood? Look at Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone—Oscar winners and the highest-paid actresses in the world—they can strip down cleanly and effortlessly.
That's what it means to truly treat your audience like family!
Female celebrities in Hong Kong entertainment and even the entire Chinese entertainment industry should learn from this!
AI compositing or something still feels too awkward...
cough!
Soon, the car arrived at its destination.
Chung Lai-ti got out of the car, and Ho Hei was about to wave goodbye, ending this failed date that had lasted several days.
But then they heard the other person say...
"By the way, it seems like there's something wrong with the water pipes in my house. Could you come up and fix it for me?"
