Chapter 70: A Little Fame, He Xi Didn't Lose the Movie
Yang Ziqiong felt like she was going crazy.
She noticed the relationship between Yuan Jieying and He Xi, and indeed had some thoughts of having fun with them.
But she never expected things to develop to this point.
"Are all young people these days so hot-tempered?"
Yang Ziqiong stared intently at the big screen, not daring to turn her head, afraid of accidentally interrupting the harmony between the two people next to her and making all three of them feel awkward.
However, although her eyes were still watching the movie, her brain had already stopped processing what it was seeing.
All my attention was focused on my ears.
And by relying solely on hearing, it constructed the outlines of its surroundings.
"hiss!"
"That was quite a bit of force, even Ah Ying..."
"Wait a minute, why is Ah Ying holding her head up so high? It's just a caterpillar, is it really that big of a deal?"
"So, people really are different? I thought only Europeans and Americans were like that... I never expected Xi-zai to be..."
"hiss!"
A dozen minutes later, Yang Ziqiong silently closed her eyes and leaned back in her seat.
She knew she shouldn't be here; she should be under the car...
However, she was reluctant to leave.
"Forget it, I've had too much to drink. I'll take a nap..."
Unlike Jiang Shan, 31-year-old Yang Ziqiong can fall asleep whenever she wants, and her fingers don't have any independent thought; she has strong self-control.
On the other hand, He Xi wasn't actually like this at first.
He wanted to leave a good impression on Yang Ziqiong and hopefully become friends in the future.
After all, Michelle Yeoh is the only Asian to win an Oscar for Best Actress in the next thirty years.
Moreover, Yang Ziqiong not only comes from an extraordinary background—her father is the president of the Malaysian Business, Sports and Leisure Club, and holds the title of Dato'.
Her ex-husband was a wealthy businessman, and the person she will marry in the future is the CEO of Ferrari, the president of the FIA, and the former executive director of the Formula One Ferrari team.
He has connections from Hong Kong Island to Europe and America.
Whether her Oscar win was due to her future husband's connections and financial influence is a matter of opinion.
However, given this woman's connections, it's definitely worth it to build a good relationship with her.
However, Yuan Jieying made a request, and He Xi couldn't refuse.
After all, the system tasks have already been generated.
"Never mind, let it be."
"It doesn't matter if she misses out on Michelle Yeoh's friendships and connections because of this, since it will take her more than 20 years to gain access to Hollywood connections anyway."
"With that time, I could have become a wealthy family myself!"
With this in mind, He Xi felt relieved and worked even harder to help.
Early the next morning.
The latest issues of major publications appeared on newsstands on the streets and alleys.
It features exaggerated fonts and sensational headlines.
A new action star has emerged, and Jet Li was beaten so badly he went insane three times in one day, unable to take care of his own bodily functions!
[Yuan Jieying wore a wedding dress on the red carpet, and the groom was...who!]
[The most difficult move in the universe: a spinning sword kick followed by a mid-air downward slash—even a sword immortal couldn't do this!]
[His talent has run dry; the Kung Fu Emperor's Waterloo!]
……
And so on.
Hong Kong media outlets tend to create headlines that are as exaggerated as possible.
Lynn Hung's rendezvous with Aaron Kwok was dubbed "Lynn Hung's 33-Hour Massacre."
AB and Huang Xiaoming's child is called "artificial human, cone-shaped face chasing child".
When Kurosawa Chiling accidentally fell off a horse, the comment was called "One horse tramples the world's best," and a poem was even written about it.
A momentary lapse in judgment, a pair of horse hooves, a single blow flattens the world's best; one surgery, a pair of large breasts, a year to make all the money in the world.
In short, in the face of Hong Kong media, sensational headlines and sensationalist content all have to take a backseat.
Beneath these exaggerated headlines, a large portion of the reports about "Tai Chi Master Zhang Sanfeng" focused on He Xi.
Newcomers themselves are great news material.
Moreover, He Xi is good-looking and skilled, making her easy to like and interested in.
Compared to Li Lianjie and others whom everyone is familiar with, he is like a blind box, full of surprises waiting for everyone to open.
Some casual fans were indeed attracted by the title and became interested in He Xi, indirectly going to the cinema.
However, the overall reputation of the show was not very good.
As mentioned earlier, people are getting a bit tired of period action movies, even if the lead actor is Jet Li.
The box office of "Tai Chi Master" failed to break one million on its opening day, and its performance continued to decline thereafter.
According to experts, the final box office for the Hong Kong Island location will be around HK$1400 million at most.
This is much less than Li Lianjie originally expected.
There's still a long way to go before we break even.
Fortunately, the copyright for other regions has already been sold, so there's definitely no chance of losing money.
Although the movie didn't become a big hit, He Xi was remembered by many people because of media reports.
Especially after the turn and sword kick move was revealed, and many action movie masters praised it, saying that they could not replicate it.
Countless martial arts fans and casual viewers were truly shocked.
"Even Ah Le said he couldn't learn this move. Is this newbie really that good?"
"Just hearing about it makes me think that move is so cool, it's a shame I didn't see it in person!"
"Ah-Xi, right? What other movies has he been in? Let's find them and watch them!"
"I heard he plays the main villain, Master Broken Flow, in Stephen Chow's 'King of Destruction'!"
"We'll have to look forward to it then. But Stephen Chow's movies are all comedies, so he'll probably get really messed up, right?"
"That's how it is according to the advertisement!"
"When will it be released? Is it for the Spring Festival? I can't wait for the New Year!"
"Huh? Didn't the New Year just end?"
No one could have predicted that while "Tai Chi Master" failed to become a hit and Li Lianjie was criticized for losing his talent, He Xi, who played a supporting role, actually took a small step forward and gained some initial fame.
It's almost as if Jet Li and the movie both lost, but He Xi didn't.
When he walks on the street, he is occasionally recognized and people come up to him to take photos and ask for autographs.
Some female fans, in particular, were as excited as if they were seeing their own brother.
Looking at these young, naive girls, He Xi couldn't help but think of an old friend.
Speaking of which, having studied in Canada, could I perhaps follow in the footsteps of that Canadian guy and have a fling with a female fan...?
He Xi couldn't think any further. He seemed to sense the malice of the Great Harmony God, and a chill ran down his spine.
After saying goodbye to several enthusiastic female fans, He Xi took a taxi to a film set.
His scenes in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" are not yet fully finished, and he will be returning to the mainland in a few days to continue filming.
During his stay on Hong Kong Island, the company surprisingly managed to find some free time to arrange a job for him.
"Now that you're famous, your pay will naturally go up. Work hard, and the mansion on Hong Kong Island and the villa on the Peak will be yours, and the future will be yours too."
Xu Ke, unusually, personally summoned He Xi and gave him a good encouragement.
However, He Xi interpreted his words as, "Work hard, and I'll help you find another wife by the end of the year!"
"As expected, all bosses are the same."
As He Xi walked into the hall with a sigh in her heart, she was greeted by an ordinary-looking handsome young man.
The person on the other side clearly saw him too, and immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Brother Xi!"
