Chapter 143 Louis Koo Falls into the Trap, Faye Wong's Tempting Proposal
When the reporter tried to ask more questions, He Xi refused to say anything more.
If he actually told the story, it would be the tale of a retired special agent who, for the sake of a neighbor girl, slaughtered an entire gang.
I'm afraid someone will make a film about this story tomorrow.
Never have any faith in the professional ethics of filmmakers on Hong Kong Island.
After experiencing more, He Xi realized how lucky she was to have sold a script to Stephen Chow for 50,000 yuan.
He benefited from the connections of Xu Ke and Cheng Xiaodong; otherwise, if he were a complete newcomer, he probably wouldn't have gotten even five yuan, let alone fifty thousand.
He can't do anything if the other side changes the name at will, or even uses the name as a promotional script without changing it.
Although no information about the new movie was obtained from He Xi, the news that he was going to make a new movie quickly spread throughout a large part of the Hong Kong film industry.
Many are newly debuted amateur models, or those who have been struggling for years without achieving anything significant, or even some TV stars who want to switch careers to the film industry.
Everyone wants to try their luck at [Tonight Entertainment].
[Jinxi Entertainment] has just opened and is in need of staff.
Moreover, He Xi also likes to give newcomers opportunities.
The entire cast of "Sex Is Zero" consists of newcomers, with Zhang Jiahui, the most famous of whom is a perennial extra.
They believed they were no less capable than Chen Xiaochun and the others, so they were sure they would have a chance if they came.
Unfortunately, these extras who didn't become famous in the original timeline were never within He Xi's considerations from the beginning.
However, the arrival of one person surprised He Xi.
"Louis Koo, you want me to act in your movie too? Does TVB allow you to film outside of TVB?"
He Xi looked at Gu Tianle, with his flowing long hair and unremarkable pretty face, with some surprise.
Gu Tianle said with a helpless expression.
"Shaw Brothers Studio has long been disbanded, and they can't even film a few movies a year in Metropolitan. TVB only signed us to television drama contracts."
"They don't handle film matters."
"Besides, I don't always have work. There are just too many actors that TVB can use."
"My agent heard we know each other, so he sent me to try my luck with you."
"Xi-zai, don't worry. Just tell me if there's no suitable role for me. I can go back and continue filming music videos."
When the two first met, their statuses were similar. Although He Xi had already been officially announced as Zhou Huimin's boyfriend, he was still playing supporting roles and appearing in music videos.
The two can also get along as relatively equals, calling each other Louis Koo and Hei Yat.
But now, He Xi is the boss of an entertainment company, with a blockbuster film that cost more than two million to produce and is about to gross over ten million at the box office. His status is no longer what it used to be.
Gu Tianle is still that MV boy.
If He Xi hadn't insisted, he would have called him "brother" as soon as he walked in.
Seeing Gu Tianle's cautious demeanor, He Xi felt a pang of emotion.
In the entertainment industry, fame truly equates to status.
Without fame, even if you look like Louis Koo, you still have to be careful and humble.
With fame, even if you have a greasy, ugly face, you can still marry a beautiful wife and play cards with beautiful women when you go out.
Gu Tianle, who is in front of us, just lacks an opportunity.
In principle, his opportunity doesn't lie with He Xi, but with TVB, specifically with "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
But with such a high-quality Louis Koo right in front of me, it's hard not to sign him.
Moreover, once he becomes a household name with "The Return of the Condor Heroes", the price will be much higher than it is now.
"I can sign you, but—"
As soon as He Xi opened his mouth, Gu Tianle nodded eagerly.
"I can!"
He Xi raised an eyebrow.
"Aren't you going to listen to the terms first?"
Gu Tianle shook his head directly.
"I'm open to any conditions as long as I can sign the contract!"
He Xi immediately smiled.
"What if I asked you to film a three-part series?"
Gu Tianle was momentarily speechless, but after a brief silence, he nodded vigorously.
"I can!"
He Xi knew he was telling the truth; Gu Tianle had indeed filmed three episodes in the original timeline.
In the movie "3D Naked Ambition" starring Johnnie To, he played Naoki Nagasaki, Japan's top AV boyfriend, and he was also the producer of the film.
Although the male lead in this movie is a dog, the plot is still quite good, and it features a group of top-notch Japanese teachers giving candid performances.
It has a plot and exciting moments, making it much more interesting than those educational films that just whine and moan from the start.
Since Gu Tianle has already expressed his opinion to this extent, He Xi naturally can't send him away any further.
Soon after, Gu Tianle signed with [Jinxi Entertainment], becoming the fifth powerful member after Chen Xiaochun and Zhang Jiahui.
However, they will definitely not be the main characters in He Xi's new movie.
Having traveled through time for so long, it's time for He Xi to make a blockbuster film to promote herself to the top.
Louis Koo could appear in this new film as a helper.
If the box office response is good, they might be able to develop a separate storyline for him, cast him as the male lead, or even give him a new role in a movie.
However, He Xi still has work to complete before the new drama team is officially formed.
Chungking Mansions, the filming location for "Chungking Express".
He Xi joined the crew in mid-March.
The crew has been filming for more than half a month, and the scenes between Tony Leung and Brigitte Lin have also been filmed for more than half a month.
Wong Kar-wai ultimately stuck to his original decision, casting Ho Hei as Officer 663, acting alongside Faye Wong.
Leung Chiu-wai will replace his Japanese friend, Mr. Kaneshiro, as Ho Chi-wu, and will co-star with Brigitte Lin.
Four people, two stories, with little connection between them, so filming them separately was perfectly fine.
After joining the crew, He Xi first went to see Wong Kar-wai.
"Hey! Xi-zai's here! You've been incredibly busy lately, directing movies, writing songs, drawing comics, writing novels—you've practically taken over the entire entertainment industry by yourself! You're all the rage in Hong Kong now!"
He Xi quickly smiled and said modestly.
"Director Mo, you flatter me. I was just lucky to find a few skilled and cheap ghostwriters. It's nothing to mention."
"Director Mo?"
Sunglasses King raised an eyebrow.
"That's not important!"
He Xi quickly changed the subject and asked instead.
Which scene are we filming today?
Sunglasses King pointed to Wang Jingwen, who was leaning on the railing in the distance, looking at the sky.
"Could you discuss this first?"
He Xi almost hit the rock.
Wait, who's in charge of this production crew?
Why do we have to listen to the actors when filming?
"You've arrived?"
He Xi walked up behind Wang Jingwen, who didn't turn around, but her voice rang out.
That feeling, it comes right up when you scratch it.
"I am coming."
He Xi walked to the railing and stood there, looking in the direction she was looking.
Wang Jingwen raised her hand and pointed into the distance.
"Look at the scenery over there, does it inspire you to write a song?"
He Xi stopped abruptly.
"Your sentence structure is wrong. Shouldn't it be 'You shouldn't have come'?"
Wang Jingwen turned her head and looked at his face with a serious expression.
"Write an album for me, and I'll be your girlfriend, and you won't have to dump Vivian Chow!"
