Huayu 93, I'm the ceiling of combat power from the moment I appear.

"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about? I never asked you to like me!"

Li Zi turned around shyly, grabbed the drum, and ran away.

Looking at her retreating figure, He Xi was somewhat taken aback.

"No, sister, you came up to me on your own initiative, okay?"

"You chased Da Bomin away, I was practically ready to take my pants off, and then you ran away?"

"Who is this?!"

Shaking her head, He Xi turned to look at Sun Mengquan.

"Teacher Sun, I'm sorry you had to see this."

Sun Mengquan smiled and shook his head.

"How could that be? I was young once too."

The topic quickly passed, and He Xi stepped forward to continue making final touches on Sun Mengquan's makeup.

"By the way, Ms. Sun, you graduated from Beidu Broadcasting Institute, right? Do you often go back to the school?"

The current Beidu Broadcasting Institute, which will become the Communication University of China in the future, will be a cradle of future stars, just like the Central Academy of Drama and the Beijing Film Academy.

She has consistently contributed many high-quality female hosts and celebrities to the entertainment industry.

Actresses like Zhou Tao, Ouyang Xiadan, Tu Jingwei, Hu Ke, Ma Sichun, Deng Jiajia, Ma Fanshu, and Li Kun all have quite good looks and temperament.

There are men too, but that's not important.

He Xi wanted to use Sun Mengquan's connections to infiltrate the Beijing Broadcasting Institute's social circle, and then...

Sun Mengquan was completely unprepared for He Xi's attempt to get close to him.

She's an old woman, and she's been married and had children for a long time.

If He Xi really has ulterior motives, then she will definitely not be the one who suffers.

So Sun Mengquan acted very friendly, and the two quickly became acquainted.

More than an hour later, everyone's makeup was almost done, and the crew officially started filming.

He Xi also had her first scene in the "Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" series, "The Cult Leader of the Demon Sect", "The Wudang Mountain Coup against Zhang Cuishan".

There are no scenes of the adult Song Qingshu in this scene; he was not required to appear.

However, this scene requires a large number of extras to amplify the momentum of the various sects who are forcing their way up the mountain.

Therefore, He Xi, who had changed into ancient costume, was placed at the back of the group, serving as an NPC background character.

Li Zi stood beside him, both of them wearing face masks, so there was no need to worry about being recognized.

There were too many actors in this scene, making filming very difficult.

However, under Wang Jing's direction, the scene was well-organized, with everyone performing their duties.

A large-scale production with a hundred people was basically filmed in just one day.

He Xi finally witnessed the speed at which Wong Jing made films.

There's a rumor circulating online that Wong Jing filmed "The Kung Fu Cult Master" in just 7 days.

That's a pretty thoughtless thing to say.

The plot of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Demon Cult Leader" is very complex, and it requires filming in several different locations, including many large-scale scenes. It's impossible to film it all in 7 days.

Wong Jing once gave an interview in which he refuted the rumors online.

It's said that the scene where Zhang Wuji and Xiao Zhao fall off the cliff and learn the Nine Yang Divine Skill from the Fire-Worker Monk took seventeen or eighteen days to film.

Even if there's some exaggeration in those words, it would still take at least seven or eight days.

However, Wong Jing is indeed capable, and with Sammo Hung's direction, the filming speed is indeed very fast.

Yes, He Xi naturally contributed her share to this as well.

Besides the makeup team, he also helped out in other work groups.

I'm so busy every day that I don't even have time to get closer to Li Zi.

However, Li Zi's gaze towards him became increasingly moist.

It seems that only one opportunity is needed before something happens between the two.

Just as He Xi was preparing to find an opportunity to spark a romance with her, someone contacted the film crew.

"Ah Xi, when did you return to the mainland? Why didn't you come to see me?"

Inside the hotel room, during a moment of reflection, Liu Hongmei pouted and kept drawing circles on He Xi's chest with her fingers.

He Xi sighed heavily.

"I really wanted to come and see you, but the film crew is too busy."

"I not only have to act, but also do behind-the-scenes work such as makeup, photography, lighting, and props. I get up earlier than the chickens and go to bed later than the dogs every day."

"It was because you came to see me this time that Brother Jie gave me half a day off."

"But it's only for half a day."

"You know, I'm the pillar and the anchor of this crew. Without me, this crew would fall apart sooner or later!"

He boasted with a straight face, and Liu Hongmei didn't call him out, instead putting on an expression of admiration.

"Ah Xi, you're amazing!"

"With your abilities, it won't be long before you're playing a lead role, or even directing and managing your own film crew!"

"Absolutely!"

He Xi had a smug look on her face.

Liu Hongmei smiled knowingly.

"You're so capable, I wonder if you can still do it..."

He Xi snorted coldly.

"Woman, are you questioning me?"

"I told you I was the backbone and anchor of the crew, but I'm more than just that!"

"I'll show you what happens to those who question me!"

One day later.

He Xi leaned back against the headboard again, looking very virtuous.

"By the way, what brings you here?"

Liu Hongmei took a long time to calm down before slowly speaking.

"Didn't you ask me to prepare some materials for you and send them to Hong Kong Island?"

"I recently received a remittance slip for HKD 5!"

"I've brought you the remittance slip. After all, this is your money, and I won't touch a single penny without your permission."

"A remittance slip for HKD 5?"

He Xi had just finished exercising and her mind was a bit blank. She frowned and thought for a while before she remembered that there was such a thing.

On his way back to Hong Kong after filming wrapped on "Tai Chi Master", he told director Yuen Hop-ping that he wanted to write a theme song for the movie.

To evade taxes, he forged a pseudonym called "Xiaolou" and attributed it to Liu Hongmei.

Later, his "original" ancient-style song "Follow Fate" was indeed noticed by Yuan Heping.

This HK$5 is the copyright fee paid by the production team of "Tai Chi Master".

He Xi shook her head at Liu Hongmei.

"You're the recipient on the remittance slip, and you're also the author of the lyrics and music copyright. Just accept the money."

"Consider it a gift from me."

HK$5 is a huge sum of money for He Xi.

However, he has more opportunities and earns more money in Hong Kong.

In comparison, Liu Hongmei probably needs the money more to buy some appliances for herself and her family.

At the same time, this can also be considered a small test for Liu Hongmei.

Using 5 yuan to judge a person's character, this shouldn't be considered a loss.

To everyone's surprise, Liu Hongmei refused very firmly.

"I told you, I've never been with you for your money."

"I just like you as a person!"

"If you give me money now, it will make me feel like I'm being kept."

"I feel disgusted with myself for being like that."

"I definitely don't want the money, but could you help out somewhere else?"

"good!"

He Xi nodded, then turned around to perform a hat trick.

Liu Hongmei quickly stopped him and spoke rapidly.

"Wait a minute, that's not what I meant. Didn't you say you could write screenplays? Could you write one for me?"

"My students need it for their graduation play."

"I can pay for the script!"

A script?

He Xi raised an eyebrow, and a movie script adapted from a stage play instantly appeared in his mind.
