The king of all people

Chapter 265

On the surface, it was calm and unremarkable, but at this moment, Andy Lau had already set off a storm in his heart.

As a king-level entertainer who debuted for more than 20 years and is well-known in Hong Kong, mainland China, and even the entire Asian entertainment circle, he will have some grievances about the fact that Li now surpasses himself in the ranking of actors this time.

It's just that Mak Siu Fai and Lau Wai Keung are old friends who have worked with him for many years. Although Andy Lau was unhappy, he still agreed to the invitation for this drama.There is an important reason for this. He really wants to see with his own eyes how powerful that young man named Li Xian is, and he can completely convince the two famous directors...

If it is just because he is the founder of the box office of Chinese-language movies, that would be too exaggerated.After all, "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" was able to win a box office of 1, of which luck and the right time and place accounted for most of the factors.

Apart from these, the real box office of that movie was only around 7000-[-] million.

Andy Lau has made a decision in his heart that once Li Xian's real acting skills are not up to par, even if it will anger the two old friends and cause public opinion turmoil, he will immediately resign from the film "Infernal Affairs" without hesitation.

Although, he likes the role of Chen Yongren from the bottom of his heart.

However, Andy Lau had just arrived at the filming set, and happened to encounter this unbelievable scene...

Ask yourself, if you were to play the role of Liu Jianming, he probably wouldn’t be like Li Xian today, who would stick his upper body naked to those rusty iron fences in the 1 degree Celsius weather, and at the same time endure the sewage under his feet The stench coming from the pit...

He couldn't do it, but the young man in his early 20s in front of him did it.

And, without any complaints.

Andy Lau was suddenly moved by the professionalism of this young man. In such a harsh shooting environment, he was able to maintain a high-spirited state of shooting... Apart from dedication and professionalism far beyond ordinary people, Andy Lau couldn't find anything else that could Compliment his adjectives too.

Sometimes it's a simple matter of changing one's mind.Just like today, Li Xian used a shot to inadvertently shocked all the staff, and even touched Andy Lau, the king of heaven who had a grudge.Although everyone didn't really appreciate his acting skills, but just because of his desperate attitude, they couldn't question him anymore.

"That's called strength! Even if I have his guts, I don't have his agility... I've been on the iron bars for 3 minutes, and I haven't even moved a hair..."

"I have met so many actors with the crew, but this kid is the most real!"

"I feel that he is really the Liu Jianming in the script, and he is the kind of person who refuses to admit defeat in his bones."

In the first scene and the first scene, Li Xian won the admiration and admiration of most people present with his own actions.They are almost all Hong Kong actors and staff members. Before today, they were quite critical of Li Xian, the male number one from the mainland, thinking that he was not worthy of this soul-like core character.

In just a few minutes, this idea changed drastically.Everyone's eyes on Li Xian became hot, and several guest actresses who came to play soy sauce even became nympho, and planned to ask Li Xian for some autographs during the filming time.

"PASS!" After Mai Zhaohui shouted excitedly, everyone applauded.The first shot in the early morning gave a good start to the whole day's work.

Li Xian walked out from the iron fence without thinking too much. After thanking everyone, he picked up a bottle of water next to his clothes and prepared to have a swig.As soon as he opened his mouth, he saw Andy Lau walking over with a smile.

"Cough... Liu Tianwang, hello." Li Xian, whose water was stuck in his throat, choked heavily, patted his chest and said to the visitor with a little stagnation.

He knows Andy Lau. Of course, there are not many people in China who don't know this superstar.As one of the four heavenly kings in Hong Kong, Andy Lau is one of the most exemplary all-round entertainers in the entire Chinese entertainment industry.Singing, he sang classic songs such as "Ice Rain", "It's Not a Crime for a Man to Cry", and "Water of Forgetting Love", which have been popular for several years. Acting, he has played countless classic roles over the years since his debut...

Although it is now 2002 after rebirth, Li Xian is inevitably a little excited and excited to see such an older generation king who is popular throughout the Greater China region with his own eyes, and his voice becomes unnatural.

"If you don't mind, just call me Hua Tsai. It's nice to meet you, Brother Xian." The relieved Andy Lau had long forgotten the previous grievances, and stretched out his hand to express friendship to Li Xian.Originally, according to the age difference between the two, even if he asked Li Xian to call him Brother Hua, it wouldn't be too much.

Of course, Andy Lau with extra purpose would not do this.He wanted to make friends with Li Xian, so the relationship between the two was better defined as brothers.In terms of communication, at least the generation gap will be much smaller.

"Then I'm not going to be polite..." Li Xian laughed, and didn't bother to address this matter.I looked Andy Lau up and down, and it was the same as what I saw on TV before. It was still the signature style of an alternative version of the simple hair cut. He was matched with a dark suit, which particularly highlighted the personal temperament of a mature man.

The second day of Li Xian's return to the crew was swiftly spent. Apart from recording the first scene where the environment was harsh, the biggest gain today was naturally getting to know Andy Lau.The entertainment circle is neither big nor small. The more friends you can make, the stronger your network foundation will be. Now that Li Xian has started his own entertainment company, having one more friend in the circle is crucial to the future. There are certain benefits to development.

……

The filming process of "Infernal Affairs" was not fast. After all, it was a high-cost production that condensed the efforts of all parties. The crew went to several locations in different places just for the on-site shooting.

In the second week after Li Xian joined the crew, the whole crew followed the two directors Mak Siu Fai and Lau Wai Keung to a small, sparsely populated island between Macau and Hong Kong.

Here, the movie will shoot several extremely dangerous "hellfire" scenes.In order to avoid accidents, this small island with few pedestrians naturally became the best choice for the crew.

There are not many actors who recorded this play, basically they are Li Xian and Andy Lau.The Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren they play are still brothers from the same school at the same police station at this time, and neither has yet discovered the other's true identity.

"Hua Zai, Ah Xian, you guys should be careful when filming later. In order to present the most shocking images, we had to use real props. The guns don't have eyes, so be careful not to hurt yourself." Mak Siu-fai stood between the two In front of the leading actor, he worriedly and repeatedly reminded them of the precautions, for fear that they would get hurt if they didn't pay attention.

Of course, Mak Siu-fai also understands that oral skills can only be talked about on paper.The speed of things like bullets is so fast that you can't see the trajectory with the naked eye. Even if Li Xian and Andy Lau set aside 1 thoughts, if there is a real danger, they can't dodge it.

It's just...he is a director. Between actors and movies, he finally chose to focus on movie effects. In order to make a movie that is enough to become a classic, this old director who has been making movies for decades, It can be said that all costs have been abandoned...

"Okay, don't worry, Director Mai, we all understand." Li Xian patted Mai Zhaohui on the shoulder, signaling him not to be too burdened.Although today's scene is a bit dangerous, it is still their job after all. Li Xian can understand Mak Siu-fai's desire to express the ideas in his heart to the fullest.

The scene recorder went back and forth to check the safety of the props a total of ten times, and left the scene with peace of mind after confirming that there was no abnormality.Afterwards, the two leading actors, Li Xian and Andy Lau, and five supporting actors playing drug bandits entered the venue one after another.

These five drug bandits are all special forces hired from the army at a high price, carefully selected by the film producer.Today's filming task does not require much of their acting skills. Apart from simple escape and moving, what is needed is that they will shoot and fight with the two policemen later in desperation.

Showing a life-and-death competition between police and robbers for "life" competition.

After 5 minutes, the actors who appeared on the stage got in touch with each other, and the director started filming.Today's weather is still bitingly cold, and from time to time, a few snowdrops that haven't condensed into a shape will fall on everyone's cheeks.

"Snapped!"

The first gunshot sounded, and Andy Lau aimed at the old factory where the drug bandits settled down and fired a shot.In less than a second, the clear and crisp sound of glass breaking spread throughout the scene.

Everyone shrank their necks one after another, feeling a palpitation in their minds.Even though they stood very far away from the scene, the scene of witnessing the actor actually shooting the gun really shocked everyone.

guns, bullets.This kind of thing that only appears on the screen on weekdays, when it really appears beside me, that kind of chilling experience can't help but come to my heart.

The camera follows the footsteps of Li Xian and Andy Lau. After learning about the presence of this generation of drug bandits, the two policemen took action without having time to report to the police. They would rather risk their lives than miss the slightest chance to arrest the suspect.

The onlookers and other actors were all sweating for them.Although, they all knew that this was just a scene being recorded.

The safety director and martial arts consultant followed the two of them and waited outside the cordon. They took the high remuneration offered by the producer, so naturally they had to ensure the personal safety of the actors in the film at all times.

"jingle……"

According to the plot of the script, Andy Lau's Chen Yongren inadvertently bumped into the protective line arranged by the drug bandits around the abandoned factory.Immediately, piercing "whistle sounds" broadcast from horn props came from all directions in the whole scene, tearing up the eerie tranquility before the last storm in this cold weather.

"boom……!"

A dull crash came from the room inside the factory, and immediately after that, the drug bandit played by five special forces hiding in the door came out with a vicious grin.
