Chapter 97 Who Made You Not Part of This Show? (Please Subscribe)

Zhou Huimin's family was not well-off when she was a child, so she learned to cook from a young age.

Tonight, she specially made a nourishing soup for Cao Jian, wanting her boyfriend, who had worked hard last night, to recover properly.

The man not only didn't appreciate it, but he also refused to go home.

Feeling sad, she listened to melancholic music on the sofa and drifted off to sleep.

To my surprise, my boyfriend came back in the middle of the night.

Overjoyed, he wanted Cao Jian to try his soup.

"Give me a bowl."

Cao Jian kissed Zhou Huimin on the lips: "You've been waiting for me all this time? When did you become so virtuous and capable?"

"I wasn't waiting for you, I just fell asleep."

Once she regained her senses, Zhou Huimin remembered that this guy had left her at home, and she became arrogant again.

But she was telling the truth.

Not long after, Vivian Chow brought over a bowl of still-steaming soup.

"It smells pretty good."

Cao Jian took a sniff and saw that it seemed to contain ginseng, astragalus, goji berries, angelica, and other good stuff.

He immediately downed the drink in one gulp and laughed, "I never expected you to be such a virtuous wife and loving mother."

"I just accidentally fell asleep, otherwise I would have thrown the soup away long ago."

Vivian Chow put away the bowl and said, "I'm not a virtuous wife and loving mother. I was just worried that you would be tired from filming. You've taken my kindness for granted!"

As soon as the woman finished speaking and reached the kitchen, Cao Jian grabbed her from behind and hugged her tightly: "I said you are, so you are. If you don't believe me, let's make a baby now and see if you are!"

Before she could even gasp, Vivian Chow's lips were already pressed together in a kiss, and her skirt was lifted up.

Cao Jian becomes a strawberry farmer, and Zhou Huimin becomes a mushroom-picking girl.
……

“Honey, the song you wrote for me yesterday is perfect for me. Senior Zhou Zhiping said it has the potential to be one of the top ten hits.”

As the soothing music ended, Zhou Huimin lay contentedly in Cao Jian's arms, whispering sweet nothings.

"Really? I think it's difficult."

Cao Jian was about to release "Kiss Goodbye," and the years 92, 93, and 94 were the years when Hong Kong and Taiwan music giants fought fiercely.

With the addition of the songs I wrote for Faye Wong, the competition will definitely be even fiercer.

Although "Devotion for Love" is one of Vivian Chow's representative works, it will still be a bit difficult for it to enter the top ten songs.

Vivian Chow pouted and said, "You have so little faith in me?"

"No, I'm afraid you'll leave me once you become famous."

No, I'll always want you.

……

The next day, Cao Jian, refreshed after drinking the soup, arrived at the film set.

Today we're filming a major scene, one of the four famous scenes in Hong Kong cinema: "Ching-ha Drinking".

This scene was filmed in a lake.

Cao Jian was really looking forward to this scene because he was a close witness to it.

When he arrived at the film set, the staff were basically already in place, and the cranes and other equipment were ready.

It was cool in the morning, not suitable for swimming, so Brigitte Lin practiced the "Sunflower Manual" in the wind and sand during the filming.

Although the yellow sand blown up by the blower looked beautiful on the monitor, the beautiful Brigitte Lin in front of the camera was actually covered in dust and dirt.

Actors these days are really dedicated.

"Linghu Chong, I went to your concert last time, it was very good. Do you have any thoughts on the music arrangement for this movie?"

Cao Jian was studying directing techniques in front of the monitor when Xu Ke suddenly asked a question.

"After we finish filming, I can talk to the teacher about it."

"Then I'll leave it to you, master and apprentice."

Xu Ke and Hu Weili also have a good relationship, and he feels very reassured when these two, master and apprentice, are involved.

It seems that casting Cao Jian as Linghu Chong was a good choice.

Although Cao Jian is young, his acting skills have improved rapidly. He really has the dashing and unrestrained feeling of Linghu Chong. I don't know if it's acting or if he has it in his body.

Anyway, the main focus now is on filming scenes with Brigitte Lin, and Cao Jian had nothing to do, so Xu Ke chatted with him for a while.

"Director Xu, I have actually studied the script. I think the soundtrack can be divided into six themes: ambush, affection, sword fight, broken string, deep affection, and harmony."

"makes sense"

After listening to Cao Jian's analysis, Xu Ke felt that it really aligned with his own film philosophy, and immediately said, "You're really dedicated, always studying scripts?" "I just love to think about things."

"It's a good thing to like to think things through."

Xu Ke praised the film and then said, "After this movie, I plan to make a 'New Dragon Gate Inn'. If you're interested, you can play the second male lead."

Guan Zhilin, Yuan Jieying, and others standing nearby all looked at Cao Jian with envy upon hearing this.

Many people in the industry know about the "New Dragon Gate Inn" project. It is said that it will be filmed in mainland China and has a large investment.

Although he was the second male lead, he was personally invited by director Tsui Hark, which made it all the more significant.

"Thank you, Director Xu. I already have arrangements."

To everyone's surprise, Cao Jian rejected such an easy-to-remember opportunity.

In Cao Jian's opinion, "New Dragon Gate Inn" is definitely a classic film, but the second male lead is a eunuch.

Although he was a highly skilled eunuch, he was still a eunuch!
Besides, he'll be very busy next year. If he can act in "The Deer and the Cauldron," he really won't have time to film in mainland China.

"Ok."

Xu Ke hadn't expected Cao Jian to refuse his invitation.

Talent does indeed breed a bit of arrogance.

At this point, they were already preparing to film the scene featuring Brigitte Lin.

Although the beautiful woman had her chest completely covered, Cao Jian still chuckled as she emerged from the water, remarking, "Such muscular pectoral muscles."

Suddenly, with a "click," the elevator in mid-air made a crisp sound, startling the staff.

It turned out that Brigitte Lin's wig was stuck in the elevator, and if no action was taken, Brigitte Lin could have drowned.

Cao Jian, who had already changed his clothes, quickly jumped into the water, swam over and took the wig off the wire before the other staff members rushed over.

The other actors on the shore, seeing Cao Jian's actions, also felt that this young man had great insight.

"thank you."

Lin Qingxia was also startled just now; her hair got stuck, which was quite dangerous. Luckily, "Linghu Chong" reacted quickly.

"It's okay, I'm going into the water anyway."

Cao Jian smiled nonchalantly and said to the director, "Director Cheng, I've already gone into the water, so why don't we have Sister Qingxia use her real hair for the scene? After filming Dongfang Bubai coming out of the water, let's film the drinking scene."

"it is good."

Since both lead actors are in the water, let's film this scene first.

As a result, when Brigitte Lin appeared with her real hair, the effect was much better than when she wore a wig.

After the little incident, Lin Qingxia, who had been indifferent to Cao Jian, gradually became more enthusiastic.

The two worked together much better than before, and even had the opportunity to discuss acting techniques.

In the water, Lin Qingxia, dressed in red with her hair wet from the water, holds a wine jug and tilts her head back to pour the wine into her mouth.

This scene captured the most authentic and classic moments in martial arts films.

"It's so beautiful."

As expected, it was one of the four most famous scenes in Hong Kong films. Although I had seen it countless times in movies and videos before, seeing Cao Jian in person, not far away, still made me sigh with admiration.

The crew usually filmed by the lake at noon, and in the studio at night.

One scene shows Cao Jian carrying Brigitte Lin, dodging Japanese samurai, and pinning her down, even giving her a nose-touching kiss.

Another scene was an intimate moment between him and Shi Shi.

The actress who played Shi Shi wasn't particularly outstanding among the four beauties, including Brigitte Lin and Li Jiaxin. Actually, she was quite pretty, and she even played Princess Xiangxiang, the most beautiful woman in Jin Yong's novel.

It is said that when Jet Li was filming this bed scene, he couldn't get into character no matter what.

Enraged, Xu Ke slammed his fist on the table, wishing he could replace the character with Li Zhi.

However, Cao Jian didn't act very convincingly, after all, he was holding a beautiful woman in his arms.
After finishing work that evening, Yuan Jieying came over and said, "Cao Jian, you actually got the chance to act in 'New Dragon Gate Inn'. I heard that not only is Sister Qingxia in the cast, but also Manyu and Liang Jiahui."

"I know."

"New Dragon Gate Inn" is indeed a good film, but it wasn't appealing enough to Cao Jian.

The film *Royal Tramp* features Stephen Chow, Ng Man-tat, Chang Min, Ching Hsia, and Li Jiaxin.
Thinking of this, Cao Jian looked at the girl in front of him and suddenly said, "It's because you're not in this play."

These words immediately made Yuan Jieying blush.

Cao Jian could only cover it up by saying, "Just kidding, I already have a available time."

"Oh"

Hearing Cao Jian's explanation, Yuan Jieying was somewhat disappointed.
