Chapter 85 Next Stop: Superstar, Jade Girl Sings, Dances, and Plays Basketball
The next day, He Xi finally left Zhou Huimin's house.
He couldn't hide here forever; he had to go out and face the overwhelming number of reporters and... the doubts and insults from Zhou Huimin's fans.
The idols of three generations of a family are no joke.
What merit or ability did He Xi possess to win over Vivian Chow's affection so quickly, while they could only kneel at home and lick the television screen?
This is not fair!
He Xi could even imagine the scene of someone throwing rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at her after she went out.
This is the consequence of using women to climb the social ladder; it's normal to be criticized and disliked.
However, this period of time will not last long.
He has basically planned out which songs to write for Vivian Chow.
The album should be ready in two and a half months at most.
Then, those fans will know that He Xi is a true talent.
He is infinitely better than those so-called talents who rely on their own magazines to promote themselves.
To ensure the success of this album, He Xi asked Zhou Huimin a question before leaving home.
"Vivian, have you considered... becoming a singer-dancer?"
"ha?"
Zhou Huimin was catching her breath after singing "Kiss Goodbye" when she heard this question, and her mind went blank for a moment.
He Xi explained with a smile.
"It's that kind of performance that combines singing, dancing, and... playing basketball."
Zhou Huimin's mind became even more confused.
"Singing and dancing are one thing, but playing basketball? Are you serious?"
"What respectable person would combine playing basketball with singing and dancing!"
After a while, she gradually came to her senses and began to seriously consider the problem.
"You mean the kind where you sing and dance at the same time, right? The kind that Cheng-zai is best at."
All four Heavenly Kings can sing and dance, but Aaron Kwok is the best dancer among them.
Originally, his popularity and album sales were not good, but he was artificially promoted and put together with the other three.
Later, he became a full-time singer and dancer, which opened up a new path for him and helped him secure his position as a superstar.
"I've never performed a song with such a fast tempo as his; I've only performed songs like 'Unrequited Love'."
Vivian Chow's nickname is "Jade Girl Leader," so her songs are mostly sweet ballads or love songs with a touch of melancholy.
【Unrequited Love】This upbeat dance track is probably the most boisterous of all the songs she sings.
"My manager said I'm a pure and innocent girl, and those fast songs don't suit me!"
He Xi shook her head.
"There's nothing that's unsuitable."
"You are the 'Jade Girl Leader' now, but you can't be a Jade Girl forever."
"You will mature, grow old, step down as sect leader, and become the sect's patriarch."
"You can't sing sweet songs forever!"
"And is the title 'Jade Maiden Leader' really that impressive?"
"Why can't you be a 'Queen of Pop'!"
"The 'pure and innocent' image is a thing of the past; next stop, you'll be a superstar!"
Zhou Huimin really wants to say that she is still young and it's good enough for her to be a pure and innocent girl.
When I get older, I'll marry He Xi, have a child, stay home to be a good wife and mother, and live a comfortable life as a wealthy woman.
I never thought about competing for the title of queen of pop.
However, seeing He Xi's high spirits, she couldn't bear to dampen his enthusiasm.
Moreover, He Xi is still young and not very famous. It would be good if she could work hard for a few more years and help him become a superstar in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Yes, a superstar and a superstar, that's a perfect match!
"Okay, I'll do as you say!"
"If you ask me to sing and dance, I'll go play basketball!"
"If you let me be the queen of pop, I'll go and compete for that title."
"Next stop, superstar!"
With eyes full of tears, Zhou Huimin gave He Xi another big hug.
After the hug, He Xi gritted her teeth, turned around and left.
He couldn't stay any longer; he was afraid that if he lingered too long, he would be tempted to investigate further to see if Zhou Huimin had any other knowledge or background information...
Then we can't leave.
The allure of pleasure is a hero's grave; he cannot remain trapped there forever.
There's still work to be done.
Sure enough, there were still reporters staking out outside the residential area.
He Xi rode in Zhou Huimin's car, quickly broke through the blockade, and went directly to Xu Ke's studio.
As soon as I entered, I heard Xu Ke's teasing voice.
"Hey, our big star has arrived!"
"What's it like dating the Jade Girl Sect Leader?"
"Staying up for two nights straight without leaving the house, is that Jade Maiden Sect Leader really that charming?"
As he spoke, he raised an eyebrow at He Xi.
The topic of sex between men and women is always a favorite subject for men.
Otherwise, no one would write bulldozer novels to make a quick buck.
Also, this book is a bulldozer; if you're looking for pure romance, sorry, you've come to the wrong place...
"Boss, please stop teasing me. I was hiding at Vivian's house yesterday because I was afraid of being mobbed by reporters."
"Isn't it because you're currently unemployed?"
"Your phone call today made me have my driver run over eighteen reporters, and that's why I risked my life to come and answer your questions."
"I've had a really tough time!"
He Xi complained with a tearful face.
Xu Ke chuckled, dropped the subject, and turned to pick up a contract.
"You're not bad, kid. You can handle the 'Jade Girl' sect leader, and you can handle a big director too."
"Here, this is a contract from a famous director. He wants you to play the male lead in his new film."
"He's in a rush to recoup the company's investment, so this film probably won't take too long to shoot."
"Didn't you want to be a director? You've already secured the investment!"
"Perfect timing! Learning from a great director this time will help you when you make your own films in the future!"
He Xi took the contract and saw that it indeed had four big characters written on it: "Chungking Express".
Upon opening the document, one would find that the character he played was none other than Police Officer No. 663.
That is, the male lead played by Leung Chiu-wai in the original version!
In the original timeline, Leung Chiu-wai won Best Actor awards at both the Golden Horse and Hong Kong Film Awards for this role!
Now Wong Kar-wai has actually given himself this chance to become famous overnight?
Can I portray the same feeling as Leung Chiu-wai?
After all, this Officer 663 is neither a villain nor a martial arts master.
There are hardly any action scenes in this movie, perfectly avoiding all the skills He Xi currently possesses!
Moreover, although Tsui Hark said that Wong Kar-wai was in a hurry to recoup the company's costs this time, he wouldn't film for too long.
But even if filming takes three months, you'll still be tormented for three months straight.
Can you bear the kind of suffering where you don't know where the problem is and can only repeat the performance over and over again?
Xu Ke also said he would go and learn how to be a director from Wong Kar-wai.
What to study?
Try to imitate him by wearing sunglasses and all you do is yell "Cut!"?
Or should we learn from him how to spend all the investment in the production team and then trick investors into giving us more money?
You could learn some acting skills from Leung Chiu-wai and Brigitte Lin...
While hesitating, He Xi was suddenly startled for no apparent reason.
When did I develop the courage to refuse an invitation to be named Best Director at both the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Golden Horse Awards?
Who gave it to me?!
