Chapter 66 The Red Carpet Turns into a Wedding? He Xi's Amazing Skill!
Yuan Jieying is easy to deal with; just fix her evening gown and hairstyle and there won't be any problems.
However, He Xi's arrogance could not be calmed down in a short time.
In this situation, if it happened in an ero manga or hentai, the character would usually ask the female protagonist for help...
Yuan Jieying is very suitable and good at being a firefighter.
However, their current location is not safe, and someone could come at any time.
So Yuan Jieying didn't agree to He Xi's request, but instead reached out and flicked him on the forehead.
"Distract yourself and calm down quickly."
"The conditions aren't right now, but tonight I'll help you until you throw up!"
He Xi bent down and took a small step back.
"Ouch! That's some serious strength! I'm doomed from now on!"
"Also, when you help me, I want you to wear this outfit!"
Yuan Jieying apologetically rubbed He Xi's head.
"I'm sorry, it was my fault."
"But clothes are definitely not a problem. Otherwise, what do you think I'd be wearing this for today?"
He Xi was satisfied this time. After silently reciting the Heart Sutra a few times, her little brain finally stopped being so arrogant.
Ding! You have gained +1 to the usage of the Heart Sutra!
Just as the time was about right, the two received a notification from the staff and walked hand in hand onto the red carpet.
When the two appeared, the surrounding fans widened their eyes and cheered loudly.
The cameras of the media reporters flashed in a flurry.
Yuan Jieying already has many fans, and as the second female lead in the film, she naturally receives a lot of attention.
Today's evening gown, resembling a wedding dress, is a rare sight for her in dresses, yet it unexpectedly suits her perfectly.
The fans were overjoyed, as if it were Chinese New Year.
Media reporters also started racking their brains, thinking about what kind of sensational headlines they could use to make their publications more popular the next day.
He Xi, who was walking next to Yuan Jieying and had her arm linked with his with a happy expression, naturally aroused the curiosity of fans and the media.
He Xi was dressed in a conventional black suit and white shirt. Although he was a complete newcomer, not many people knew him.
But his tall, strong physique, 1.8-meter-long legs, and the chiseled face beneath his neat buzz cut exuded irresistible masculine hormones.
They turned the red carpet into a runway for Paris Fashion Week.
The two walking together gave off an inexplicable feeling of a wedding ceremony.
Many young female fans in the audience immediately turned starry-eyed.
"Is the guy next to Ah Ying a newcomer? He's so handsome! They look so good together!"
"I think he's even more handsome than Andy Lau. Could he be Ah Ying's boyfriend?"
"I need all the information about this newcomer in three minutes!"
"Judging from the poster, he seems to be the second male lead in the movie. I wonder how his acting is."
"With looks this good, who needs acting skills? Just his face and physique are enough to make me a fan for life!"
If there are things you like, there are things you dislike.
"Who is this guy? How dare he walk down the red carpet arm in arm with Ah Ying? Get your filthy hands off him, you bastard!"
"He's obviously a pretty boy who's all looks and no substance. Did he get the role by selling his body?"
"Ah Ying, don't be fooled by him. That kind of pretty boy is the worst. He not only cheats you out of your body but also out of your money. Let him go right now and come back to me. I'll still forgive you!"
"Get a few brothers together. After the premiere, surround this bastard. I don't want him to see the sun rise tomorrow!"
……
On the red carpet, He Xi was unaware of the discussions among fans about him.
There were too many noises around him, too much noise, and even with his [high-energy state] activated, he couldn't clearly hear what everyone was saying.
Moreover, the flashes from the surrounding lights were so bright that they were almost blinding him, but he dared not make any exaggerated blinking or rubbing motions.
To avoid being caught on camera making an unflattering or strange expression, which could lead to being criticized before even becoming famous.
I can only activate the "high-energy state," forcing myself not to blink and trying to maintain a smiling expression.
He Xi suddenly felt a little regretful.
If I had known this would happen, I should have worn sunglasses.
Looking back, those celebrities in the original timeline always wore sunglasses, and now I realize it wasn't just for show.
With so many flashes, even a dog couldn't handle it.
Fortunately, Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh appeared shortly afterward.
The attention of fans and the media was instantly drawn away, and He Xi pulled Yuan Jieying along, quickly walking to the end of the red carpet.
Upon entering the screening room, the two sat down in their pre-arranged seats, greeted and chatted with the people around them for a while, and then Li Lianjie and his companion entered the theater.
Soon, the host took the stage, and the premiere officially began.
Before the film was officially screened, there was a sharing and discussion session.
With the host's introduction, He Xi and the cast walked onto the stage, making her first official appearance in front of the public.
"Hello everyone, I'm He Xi, a newcomer. I play Dong Tianbao in the movie 'Tai Chi Master'."
After all the main actors introduced their characters or performed a short skit, they all gave a brief self-introduction.
The host looked at He Xi again.
"Xi-zai, I heard you're really good at fighting in this movie. Zhang Sanfeng, who didn't master Tai Chi, got beaten up badly by you."
"Are you a martial artist in the real world as well?"
"What style of boxing do you practice? Have you won any honors?"
"Our Brother Jie is a martial arts champion from the mainland and the kung fu emperor of Hong Kong films."
"You can't keep having a stunt double fight him!"
He Xi stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
Being called out by someone means you have to show something real; otherwise, you're out of luck.
Moreover, this is his first public appearance. If he can make a name for himself, it will definitely be twice as effective for his future development.
However, the martial arts he learned were all practical, and their performance might not be very impressive.
Moreover, with Jet Li's outstanding performance as a precedent, no matter how beautiful his kung fu is, it will only be overshadowed by his opponent's brilliance.
Therefore, we must come up with a unique skill that Jet Li had never performed before, and that is dazzling enough.
Ding!
He Xi narrowed her eyes and instantly came up with a brilliant idea.
He spoke to the staff, and soon a two-handed greatsword with a blade over a meter long and a hilt a full thirty centimeters long was delivered to him.
This is Golden Harvest's flagship theater, which has hosted the premieres of many martial arts films, and naturally has a wide variety of weapons and props.
He Xi, sword in hand, clasped his hands in a salute to the audience below the stage.
"I once learned a set of two-handed sword techniques from Master Yu Hai of the Seven Star Mantis Boxing School in mainland China, and I'm going to show them to you today."
After saying that, he began to practice his swordplay on the open space of the stage.
This two-handed sword technique was learned by Yu Hai from Master Yu Chenghui, the master of two-handed swordsmanship.
The moves in swordplay are more practical and not as cool and stylish as they are portrayed in movies and TV shows.
However, He Xi was not doing this to demonstrate his swordsmanship.
After demonstrating a dozen or so simple moves, it was time for the special skill that had just flashed into his mind.
Suddenly, he switched to holding the sword with one hand, twirled it in front of him, and then, using the momentum, threw the two swords into the air.
Following the momentum of the sword's flourish, the longsword began to spin in mid-air.
He Xi didn't reach out to catch the falling sword. Instead, she suddenly turned around and delivered a beautiful spinning kick, striking the sword that was spinning in the air...
