Chapter 102 Cherish the opportunity? You've already chosen the path to your death!
This was He Xi's first time getting a formal behind-the-scenes job on a film set.
He used to do volunteer work for free, without charging a penny, and he did it very enthusiastically.
Privately, some people will definitely laugh at him, thinking he's just being a busybody.
But at the same time, there will definitely be people who like his approach and are willing to give him a chance to learn and grow.
Yuan Xiangren was the latter.
When he asked Tsui Hark for the people, he mentioned the matter of action direction and wrote it into the contract.
He earned an extra 20000 yuan in film remuneration for this.
Xu Ke was naturally willing, since the more money He Xi received, the more commission he would get.
Yuan Heping is the director of "Legend of Fire Clouds" and has a lot of things to do, so the action direction was directly handed over to Yuan Xiangren.
Yuan Xiangren has also worked as a martial arts instructor for many years and often worked with his brother on films, so he naturally has no problem controlling the style.
However, human strength has its limits, and Yuan Xiangren alone could not oversee the entire crew's action scenes.
Therefore, the design and choreography of some of the action scenes were handed over to He Xi.
"Xi-zai, I see you and Ah-zhen get along quite well, so you can take over her part!"
As he spoke, he raised an eyebrow at He Xi.
"Cherish this rare opportunity!"
This old man is almost fifty years old, and he still likes to make these childish jokes...
Okay, men are still boys until they die; you can make vulgar jokes until you die and never get tired of them.
Grandpa Qian's father is critically ill and hospitalized, unable to move, yet he's still clamoring to find a young lady...
He Xi immediately understood Yuan Xiangren's meaning and nodded seriously.
"Don't worry, Uncle Ren!"
"This is my first time as a martial arts instructor, and I will definitely live up to your expectations, Master Ba and Uncle Ren. I will cherish this opportunity and let everyone see my talent in action!"
Yuan Xiangren's smile froze instantly.
No, what do you understand? Is that what I meant?
After expressing her determination, He Xi found Ye Quanzhen with a serious expression.
"Sister Zhen, I've been officially listed as the assistant martial arts director on set. Master Ba and Uncle Ren asked me to be in charge of your action scenes."
As soon as Ye Quanzhen saw He Xi, she immediately smiled again.
"Really? That's wonderful!"
"Shall we begin now?"
As she spoke, Ye Quanzhen moved closer to He Xi.
"For action scenes, do we need to test their natural talent and aptitude first? Tell me, how do we test them?"
He Xi was momentarily at a loss.
I heard that this woman likes pretty girls and is involved in the lesbian community, right?
Why is it that when it comes to me, I'm the one who takes the initiative?
Or……
He Xi suddenly had another bold yet very likely idea.
This woman is approaching me so proactively, isn't it just to create a scandal, but...?
Is he trying to indirectly get closer to Vivian Chow through his own efforts?
hiss!
If that's the case, then that's quite interesting!
Suddenly, a scene flashed through He Xi's mind: Zhou Huimin and Ye Quanzhen running a tofu shop together. Instantly…
My mouth is watering.
No, I have to maintain my image; my persona can't collapse.
"Um, Sister Zhen, you do need to do some testing, but you don't need to be this close."
He Xi coughed and took a step back, trying to create some distance between herself and Ye Quanzhen.
There are still too many people around. Once we find a quieter place, we'll definitely make this woman eat a lot of thick food and pay the price for her covetousness!
Ye Quanzhen didn't press too hard and retreated with a smile.
"Okay, okay, you're the martial arts instructor, I'll listen to you!"
Throughout the entire day, He Xi and Ye Quanzhen didn't have any scenes together; both were supporting characters with very little screen time combined.
However, in that day, He Xi also figured out Ye Quanzhen's true nature and made corresponding action designs in a targeted manner.
Some of the more difficult tasks were performed by stunt doubles.
However, Ye Quanzhen still needs to practice some of the shots and poses that will show her face.
After a long day, He Xi couldn't help but sigh.
It was so much easier being a martial arts choreographer back in the days of green screen and staged scenes. You didn't need such a huge workload, and you didn't need to have so much physical contact with the actresses.
He Xi, being young and vigorous, spent the whole day instructing Ye Quanzhen, who would occasionally sneak around and stealthily touch him.
This caused He Xi to have to sit down and cross her legs to rest from time to time, which somewhat affected her normal work.
After finally finishing her workday, He Xi was the first to leave, heading straight to the set of "Lun Wenxu's Old Man Points at Liu Xiankai".
As Zhou Huimin's boyfriend, it's perfectly reasonable for He Xi to visit her on set.
This is also a way for him to increase his public exposure.
As an actress, with plans to start a company and make movies soon, exposure is also very important to He Xi.
Outside the film set, He Xi could see a group of reporters waiting from afar.
As soon as he got out of the car, many reporters rushed up to him.
"Xi-zai, are you here to visit Vivian on set? How's your relationship going lately? Has anything changed? Are you planning to break up?"
"I heard from the rumors that Vivian's size doesn't fit you and she's complaining about you a lot. Is that true?"
"Vivian has recently been seen behaving intimately with male lead Dicky Cheung on the set of 'Lun Wenxu's Old Point Liu Xiankai'. Is it because your relationship is strained and she has fallen for someone else?"
He Xi knew that reporters never had anything good to say, so she didn't intend to pay attention to them at first. She let their words go in one ear and out the other, and didn't take them to heart at all.
But upon hearing the last person's words, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
It's not that he doesn't trust Vivian Chow, but rather that he doesn't trust Dicky Cheung.
This guy hasn't started balding yet, and he's good-looking, the kind of young heartthrob.
Moreover, he is currently in the rising phase of his career, with his album "True or False" becoming a huge hit and him filming movies until he's sick of it.
In 93 alone, he starred in 12 movies, and he was the male lead in almost all of them.
In "Super School Bully," a group of top celebrities played supporting roles for him, making him incredibly prestigious and influential.
Some media outlets have even directly called him "Stephen Chow's successor."
This shows just how popular he is.
People in this state are most prone to arrogance, and when they encounter a goddess like Vivian Chow, who is admired by three generations of her family, it's natural that they wouldn't be without any thoughts.
In the original timeline, after the release of "Lun Wenxu's Old Point Liu Xiankai", Dicky Cheung and Vivian Chow went to Taiwan to promote the film and appeared together on the variety show "Dragon Brothers and Tiger Brothers" hosted by Chang Fei and the Lich King.
One of the questions asked was, "What is the most attractive thing about Vivian Chow?"
Dicky Cheung answered directly that it was his buttocks.
Their covetousness is blatantly obvious!
He Xi was very dissatisfied with this answer.
Vivian is great in every way, but her fierceness is even more striking; she's definitely a C-level boss.
Her legs were also perfectly straight.
It's just as good as Karen Mok's legs, which are rumored to be insured.
Zhang Weijian was only staring at the buttocks.
You've never seen anything like this before!
But this guy actually dared to say something to Vivian. If I were surnamed Tang, shouldn't I say something now?
"You have already chosen your own path to death!"
