I became a movie star at the age of three; Dilraba and I are childhood sweethearts.
Chapter 72: Guan hope, Tamed; "Infernal Affairs" Officially Begins Filming!
Chen Guanxi's chest heaved violently, and the crimson in his eyes gradually faded.
Instead, there was a violent struggle and pain.
He looked at the boy in front of him.
This face was more exquisite than any child star he had ever seen; it was so beautiful it seemed unreal.
But on such an innocent-looking face, there are eyes that can see right through people's hearts.
He felt completely seen through by those eyes.
All the defiance and carelessness became the most ridiculous joke.
The entire set remained completely silent.
Wang Jinhua stood still, too afraid to move.
Andy Lau and Tony Leung also stopped in their tracks, looking at the two people in the room with complicated expressions.
They suddenly realized that things were not going in the way they had expected.
I suddenly understood why Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung valued this child so much.
This is a boldness that even most directors cannot demonstrate.
Time passed second by second.
It felt like an eternity.
Chen Guanxi finally slowly loosened his clenched fist.
He gave Xiao Chen a deep look, then turned and walked back to his original spot without saying a word.
He leaned against the counter and closed his eyes.
Nobody knows what he's thinking.
The atmosphere on set was extremely oppressive.
The assistant director glanced cautiously at Xiao Chen and mouthed a question silently.
"return……"
"Shall we continue filming?"
Xiao Chen ignored him and just stared at Chen Guanxi's back.
It was as if she was waiting for his reply.
Another few minutes passed.
Chen Guanxi opened his eyes.
When he looked at the camera again, his entire aura had completely changed.
If he was a fleeting, unpredictable wind before, now he is a piece of iron sunk to the bottom of the water.
The laziness and frivolity in his eyes had vanished without a trace.
Instead, there is a suppressed ambition, a long-dormant desire in the darkness, and a trace of bewilderment in the face of fate.
He is still the same Chen Guanxi.
But he is no longer Chen Guanxi.
He is Liu Jianming.
The undercover young man who wanted to be a good person but was forced into his own life.
"Director, we can begin."
His voice was a little hoarse, but unusually firm.
Chen Guanxi called Director Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen nodded, turned around and walked back to the monitor, picking up the walkie-talkie.
"Scene 1, Shot 1, Second Shot."
"Action!"
The clapperboard sounded again.
This time, Chen Guanxi's performance made everyone behind the monitor hold their breath.
His scenes with Huang Qiusheng were perfectly executed, every line and every glance was just right.
He perfectly captured the complex emotions unique to young people, a mix of innocence and ruthlessness.
He is no longer acting.
He is Liu Jianming.
Xiao Chen's voice rang out.
"Cut! Passed!"
There was a moment of silence, followed by applause.
All the staff members, including those seasoned veterans who initially enjoyed watching the drama unfold, now looked at Xiao Chen with completely different eyes.
It was a look that mixed reverence and admiration.
This twelve-year-old child is not a prodigy.
It's a monster!
As Chen Guanxi walked off the stage, he paused for a moment as he passed Xiao Chen.
He didn't look at Xiao Chen, but just said something in a low voice.
"Thanks."
Then, he left without looking back.
Wang Jinhua breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling as if she had just been pulled out of the water, her back completely wet.
She walked over to Xiao Chen, wanting to say something, but found her throat dry and unable to utter a single word.
She could only pat Xiao Chen's shoulder forcefully, her eyes filled with admiration that he was awesome.
Andy Lau and Tony Leung exchanged a glance, both seeing the same shock in each other's eyes.
They've been acting for half their lives; what kind of directors haven't they seen?
Temperamental, refined, unconventional...
But someone like Xiao Chen is extremely rare.
Use the most ruthless methods to bring out the deepest potential of the actors.
This isn't skill, it's talent.
A keen insight into human nature.
Liang Chaowei walked up to Xiao Chen and spoke for the first time.
"How did you figure that out?"
He was very curious as to how Xiao Chen could see through Chen Guanxi's weakness at a glance.
Xiao Chen raised his head, a sly smile befitting his age appearing on his excessively handsome face, as sweet as honey.
"Viagra, it's a secret."
After saying that, she even winked playfully.
The ruthless and decisive director from just moments ago instantly transformed back into that adorable little boy with rosy lips and white teeth.
This stark contrast left Leung Chiu-wai momentarily dazed.
The subsequent filming went smoothly like never before.
All the actors, regardless of their fame, put aside any trace of contempt and gave it their all.
No one dared to try anything funny in front of Xiao Chen anymore.
Because they knew that those clear eyes could see through everything.
Soon, it was time for one of the most important and climactic moments of the entire film.
Andy Lau and Tony Leung's rooftop showdown.
According to the original script, the climax of this scene was a fierce chase and fight between the two.
The martial arts instructor and stuntmen had already practiced on the rooftop several times.
Every punch lands with a visceral impact, and the action is powerful and swift; the design is quite brilliant.
Andy Lau and Tony Leung had also changed their clothes and were ready.
However, Xiao Chen stood on the edge of the rooftop, looking at Victoria Harbour under the setting sun, and remained silent for a long time.
He watched the two award-winning actors move around and listened to the martial arts instructor explain the movements.
His brows furrowed even more deeply.
"Wait a minute."
He finally spoke.
Everyone looked at him.
The martial arts instructor asked with a smile.
"Young director, what's the problem?"
"Do you think any move isn't cool enough? We can change it."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
He didn't look at the martial arts instructor, but instead looked at Andy Lau and Leung Chiu-wai.
"Brother Hua, Brother Wei."
"This scene needs to be changed."
These words caused an uproar in the room.
Rewrite the play?
This is the most important part of the script!
Moreover, it's an action film, so any change in one aspect affects the whole situation; the lighting, camera angles, and props all have to be adjusted accordingly.
More importantly, this is a scene between two award-winning actors.
Andy Lau didn't seem to mind; he has a good temper and asked with a smile.
"How should it be changed?"
Liang Chaowei didn't speak, but just looked at Xiao Chen, waiting for him to continue.
Xiao Chen walked between the two and felt the wind on the rooftop.
"We shouldn't be fighting here."
"After hitting him, he ejaculated."
He spoke slowly.
"Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren fought for ten years, relying not on their fists, but on their brains and their hearts."
"They are police officers and criminals, but also mirrors of each other, the people who understand each other best in the world."
"At this final moment, there shouldn't have been that kind of violent physical conflict between them."
Xiao Chen raised his head and looked at the two movie stars.
"It should be... a dialogue."
"Use the calmest tone to say the most hurtful things."
"That kind of tension is stronger than a hundred fight scenes."
He paused, his voice carrying an undeniable force.
"What I want is not the hype of gangster films."
"What I want is the poignant tragedy of intertwined fates."
