China Entertainment: I am a big boss in the industry

Chapter 885 The Best Partner
Seeing the once lively Stephen Chow now become dull and idiotic, Lin Gao felt heartbroken.

He told Stephen Chow again and again about the interesting things that happened when they made movies together, and showed him "God of Gamblers" and "Fight Back to School", hoping to awaken his memory, but it was all in vain.

Stephen Chow just looked at him blankly, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.

Lin Gao was desperate.

What would happen to "A Chinese Odyssey" without Stephen Chow?
Xiang Huaqiang also visited Stephen Chow several times, but he left with a sigh every time.

He understood that Stephen Chow's amnesia was a huge blow to Lin Gao and "A Chinese Odyssey".

"Mr. Lin,"

One day, Xiang Huaqiang found Lin Gao and said solemnly, "I know it's hard for you to accept, but this is the reality. I'm afraid it will be difficult to restore Xingzai's amnesia. We must find another way."

Lin Gao nodded with red eyes.

He understood what Xiang Huaqiang meant. Without Stephen Chow, they had to find someone else to play the role of Supreme Treasure.

But who can replace Stephen Chow? Who can perform that unique nonsensical style?
Lin Gao fell into deep thought.

At this moment, a name suddenly appeared in his mind - Dicky Cheung!

Dicky Cheung was once an actor known for his nonsensical style, and he looks somewhat similar to Stephen Chow.

"Maybe... maybe we can try him!"

A glimmer of hope ignited in Lin Gao's eyes.

He immediately contacted Dicky Cheung and told him the whole story.

After hearing this, Dicky Cheung was silent for a moment and said, "Mr. Lin, I sympathize with Master Xing's experience and am willing to help you as much as I can. However, the role of Zhizunbao is Master Xing's classic, and it is difficult for me to surpass him."

"I know,"

Lin Gao said sincerely, "I didn't ask you to surpass him, I just hope you can perform in your own style."

Dicky Cheung hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

Thus, the filming of Dicky Cheung's version of "A Chinese Odyssey" officially started.

However, things did not go as smoothly as expected.

Although Dicky Cheung is also good at nonsensical performances, his style is different from that of Stephen Chow.

The Monkey King he played lacked some of Stephen Chow's spirit and madness, and had more of his own slickness and clowning.

The audience wasn't buying it.

"This is not Supreme Treasure at all!"

"Zhang Weijian's acting is so unlike anything else!"

"Master Xing's Monkey King is still the best looking!"

The Internet is full of criticisms and doubts about Dicky Cheung.

Lin Gao also felt the pressure.

He knew that if things continued like this, A Chinese Odyssey would likely fail.

He began to reflect on whether he had been wrong from the beginning.

Should I not have asked Dicky Cheung to play the role of Supreme Treasure?

Just when he was about to give up, a phone call disrupted his thoughts.

"Mr. Lin, I'm Stephen Chow."

Lin Gao was stunned.

Star Master? He regained his memory?
The voice on the other end of the phone was a little weak, but the tone was firm: "Mr. Lin, I know you have been working hard, and I also know that you have encountered many difficulties. I want to tell you that I... I remember... I remember everything..."

Lin Gao was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.

He felt that all his efforts were worth it!

Lin Gao was so excited that he almost jumped up. He immediately booked the fastest flight back to Hong Kong.

As soon as he got off the plane, he went straight to the hospital.

In the ward, Stephen Chow was leaning on the bed. Although his face was still a little pale, his eyes had regained their former liveliness.

"Master Xing!"

Lin Gao rushed forward and held Zhou Xingchi's hand tightly, "Do you really...really remember it?" Zhou Xingchi smiled slightly and nodded, "Yes, I remember it all. Thank you for your hard work during this period."

Lin Gao's nose felt sore and tears almost fell again: "It's not hard, as long as you are okay."

"Actually, I remembered it while I was dreaming."

Stephen Chow said slowly, "I dreamed that we were making a movie together, I dreamed of Fairy Zixia, I dreamed of Zhizunbao..."

"Great!"

Lin Gao said excitedly, "Since you have recovered your memory, then "A Chinese Odyssey"..."

But Stephen Chow shook his head: "No, I can't play Zhizunbao anymore."

Lin Gao was stunned: "Why?"

Stephen Chow sighed: "I have thought a lot during this period. I am no longer the Stephen Chow of the past. I... I am old."

Only then did Lin Gao notice that there were already some white hairs on Stephen Chow's temples and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes had become deeper.

"But..." Lin Gao wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Stephen Chow.

"I know you're disappointed, but this is my decision."

Stephen Chow said firmly, "But I can help you. I can be a director, I can guide Dicky Cheung, and I can pass on my experience to him."

Lin Gao was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, I respect your choice."

So, Stephen Chow became the director of "A Chinese Odyssey".

He shared all his experience with Dicky Cheung and guided him over and over again, striving to make him perform the role of Supreme Treasure.

Dicky Cheung also worked harder to understand the role and to figure out Stephen Chow's performance style.

Under the guidance of Stephen Chow, Dicky Cheung's performance gradually improved, and he began to slowly find his own Supreme Treasure.

Although it is different from Stephen Chow's version, it has its own characteristics.

The audience also gradually accepted Dicky Cheung's version of Supreme Treasure.

“Although it’s different from Master Xing’s version, it’s still pretty good.”

"Zhang Weijian performed in his own style, which deserves recognition."

“This movie is still worth watching.”

The comments on the Internet gradually turned from negative to positive.

Lin Gao's heart finally settled down.

He knew that the film was a success.

After the release of "A Chinese Odyssey", the box office soared and eventually broke the box office record for Chinese-language films.

At the celebration banquet, Lin Gao raised his glass and said to Stephen Chow: "Thank you, Master Xing."

Stephen Chow smiled and said, "No, I should thank you. Thank you for giving me a second chance."

Lin Gao also laughed.

He knows that he and Stephen Chow will always be best friends and best partners.

However, just when "A Chinese Odyssey" achieved huge success, an accident happened.

In an interview, Dicky Cheung publicly stated that Stephen Chow was very harsh on him during filming and even physically attacked him.

"He always scolds me, saying that I am not a good actor and that I am not as good as him."

Dicky Cheung burst into tears in front of the camera, "I spend every day in stress and fear. I feel like I'm about to collapse."

As soon as this statement was made, public opinion was in an uproar.

Netizens have accused Stephen Chow of taking advantage of his seniority and bullying newcomers.

"Stephen Chow is too domineering!"

"How could he treat Dicky Cheung like this?"

"He is just jealous that Dicky Cheung is younger and more handsome than him!"
