Full-time actor

The casting process for "Mulan" was like a bombshell thrown into the stagnant waters of the entertainment industry.

The carefully maintained balance was broken, and what followed was a situation where everyone was vying for power.

For a while.

The topics related to Chen Yu and Liu Yifei have consistently topped the trending search list.

As for the focus of the discussion, it remains on the hard work of the "Let the Bullets Fly" film crew.

The next scene to be filmed is a major production.

The Hongmen Banquet.

This is undoubtedly the most tense scene in "Let the Bullets Fly".

It showcases the acting prowess of four award-winning actors: Jiang Wen, Chow Yun-fat, Ge You, and Chen Yu.

We need to film this epic drama as soon as possible before the casting for "Mulan".

Chen Yu has finished his makeup and costume. For today's scene, he is still wearing a coarse cloth long gown, which is obviously too plain compared to the costume he wore for the cold noodles case.

after all.

His next film to be shot is "Bearing Thorns to Plead Guilty".

Chow Yun-fat and the others were already in position, and everyone present was eager to get started on the scene that was about to begin.

The actors on stage have all won Best Actor awards and are prominent figures in the entertainment industry.

Letting go is undoubtedly a clash of titans; even if it's not outwardly apparent, the struggle continues beneath the surface.

Even with Chen Yu's fame and talent, the domestic entertainment industry remains feudal.

in this way.

Everyone naturally put in their best effort to compete.

Liu Yifei looked at where Chen Yu was, who was kneeling on the ground, bound hand and foot, with thick black cloth wrapped around his ears. He looked as pitiful as could be.

This scene made Liu Yifei cover her mouth and laugh. Chen Yu's current appearance was somewhat comical, like a big rice dumpling wrapped up.

"Sixth Master's death was heroic!"

Chow Yun-fat gave a thumbs up.

As for Jiang Wen, his gaze fell on the location of the person in front of him.

His expression, however, was quite solemn.

The contrast between the two is particularly striking compared to Chow Yun-fat's carefree and smiling demeanor.

"We invited the county magistrate here today to seek justice for Sixth Master in person!"

Hongmen Banquet!
This was an unusually amicable drinking party that Huang Silang set up in his mansion to clear himself of suspicion of killing Xiao Liuzi, but which was actually a trap.

This process fully embodies probing, threats, and scheming.

As for Chen Yu...

He will also fake his death in this scene and then go to complete the assassination mission.

In general.

On the surface, this scene is Huang Silang hosting a banquet to prove his innocence, but in reality, he wants to demonstrate his power and status.

Pretending to seek justice for Xiao Liuzi, it was actually just a scheme between the two of them.

Chen Yu knelt to one side, bound hand and foot.

Just now, he noticed Liu Yifei taking pictures of him with her phone. Taking advantage of the blind spot of the monitor, Chen Yu made a face at Liu Yifei.

"If it really was Huang who ordered it, then I will commit suicide in public like Sixth Master."

"Not only will I commit suicide, but I also ask the county magistrate to be my second."

“Cut off my head and hang it high on the roof of the Sunny Tower.”

Chow Yun-fat stared wide-eyed at Jiang Wen in front of him, his eyes filled with unwavering resolve.

"Ah."

Jiang Wen nodded, not reacting much to the nonsense the person in front of her was spouting.

"If it's not me, it would be an insult to my reputation."

"Deceiving the county magistrate."

"You shall commit suicide."

"Either you pay with three lives for one, or you report me at any time."

The monitor then turned to the three people who were bound hand and foot, with Chen Yu kneeling dejectedly in the corner.

Her hair was a little messy, and her eyes showed a sense of panic and confusion.

"I could die at any moment."

After saying this, Chow Yun-fat shook his head and pointed the knife in his hand at Chen Yu, who was kneeling to the side.

His face showed utter despair.

He looked quite dejected.

Although he didn't say a word, you could still feel his frustration.

Compared to Sun Shouyi, who was trembling like a sieve, Chen Yu was in much better condition.

Everyone else present had their eyes completely focused on the stage.

This is four top actors sharing the stage, something they would never normally have the opportunity to do.

This is clearly an eye-opening experience for them.

“Master Huang, I have heard that a short knife is used for suicide, while a long knife is given to the second.”

"is it?"

Chow Yun-fat tossed the long knife in his hand over, and Jiang Wen caught it casually.

His face remained expressionless.

"Haha, you're really good at this!"

“The county magistrate can be my second at any time.”

Chow Yun-fat winked at Jiang Wen in front of him, his laughter sounding particularly grating at that moment.

He casually closed the curtain in front of him, completely separating Chen Yu, Jiang Wu, and the other two from the viewer behind it.

"If the county magistrate is really in a hurry for money, I do have a good solution."

"Oh? Tell me."

"Ahhh-"

Just as Jiang Wen finished speaking, a sharp scream suddenly came from behind her.

Blood flowed out from behind the curtain, and the sound clearly sent a chill down Ge You's spine.

Sun Shouyi is dead.

"Zhang Mazi".

"Zhang Mazi?"

The two did not react to the killing behind them and continued chatting as if nothing had happened.

"..."

"So this Zhang Mazi is very rich? Is that even possible?"

Ge You looked at Jiang Wen with a puzzled expression, her scrutiny obvious.

This section.

Three award-winning actors shared the stage, and each of their micro-expressions was extremely intriguing.

"If you can go and suppress the bandits, you can have as much money as you want."

When Zhou Run uttered these words, the ruthlessness and greed in his speech were excessively obvious.

Snapped!
Jiang Wen slammed her hand heavily on the dining table, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

"The 180 million doesn't need to be repaid."

"It's just suppressing bandits, right? Suppress them!"

"Let's take back all the money that Zhang Mazi stole and return it to Master Huang!"

"By then, this 180 million will be just a drop in the ocean."

"Do you still care?"

"He's just a nobody named Zhang Mazi, deal with him!"

To be honest, each of the three actors' performances was brilliant in their own way.

Every word is a double entendre, a dagger hidden in the words, capable of hurting both the speaker and the listener without warning.

Huang Silang's scene seems to present an enticing deal, but in reality, he is preparing to reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

Sending the county magistrate to fight another group of bandits was clearly an attempt to weaken both sides.

As for Zhang Mazi's agreement, it was not true obedience, but rather a strategic retreat.

At the power table, there are clearly two forces.

Huang Silang hoped to control the entire Goose City, while Zhang Mazi outwardly agreed with Huang Silang's ideas, but inwardly he was thinking about how to overthrow Huang Silang's power.

As for Master Tang...

They simply want to gain some benefits from this mess.

Each of the three had their own ulterior motives, and they were all acting in their own self-interest.

I think so.

"Wine should be drunk sip by sip, and road should be walked step by step."

"You took too big a step, click!"

"It's easy to tear your balls."

Listening to Ge You's words from behind the curtain, Chen Yu couldn't help but feel a bit amused and exasperated. In short...

The movie "Let the Bullets Fly" is full of memorable lines.

"Ahhh-"

Blood sprayed behind the curtain, causing Ge You to jump up from her seat instantly.

"Dead, another one is dead!"

As the atmosphere between the two grew increasingly heavy, a sudden scream and gushing blood from behind them intensified the eerie atmosphere.

Such an action.

This was undoubtedly Huang Silang's demonstration and display of power.

On his turf, killing someone is as easy as crushing an ant.

Seeing Chow Yun-fat's gaze fixed on him, Jiang Wen simply downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.

"Intermission!"

At the assistant director's command, Jiang Wen went to the monitor.

Everyone performed exceptionally well in that scene just now; they were clearly in better form compared to the previous two days.

However, everyone was still somewhat worried when they noticed that Jiang Wen had come to the monitor.

The Feast at Hongmen.

They started filming a week ago, and today they've finally made great progress.

Jiang Wen's gaze fell on the monitor.

He has always been strict about his roles, striving for perfection in every aspect.

present.

I'm watching each person's performance frame by frame.

Everyone waited quietly, and even Liu Yifei couldn't help but feel a little nervous for the people in front of her.

Jiang Wen is somewhat demanding when filming.

In fact.

During her time on set, Liu Yifei deeply felt the strength of Jiang Wen's film.

Especially when these award-winning actors share the stage, the impact they create is impossible to ignore.

Just like the cold noodles case that was filmed not long ago.

Chen Yu's relentless pressure made Liu Yifei feel oppressed to some extent.

Even though it was clearly an act, it still left people feeling uneasy.

"That was a good part, Brother Yu!"

Jiang Wen looked at Chen Yu beside him. This scene mainly consisted of his interactions with Ge You and Zhou Runfa.

Although Chen Yu doesn't have many scenes, he mostly serves as a background character.

Yet, his presence remains impossible to ignore.

Chow Yun-fat nodded, admitting that he could fully sense Chen Yu's emotions when he pointed the knife at him.

In this scene.

Chen Yu's portrayal of Hu Wan is that of a pawn that could be discarded at any time.

Throughout the entire performance, the character is in a passive state, without any lines or movement, perfectly conveying the helplessness of having one's fate out of one's own hands.

have to say.

This scene truly excited everyone.

They were able to watch the four leading actors perform up close, witnessing the powerful performances of Chow Yun-fat, Jiang Wen, and Ge You, as well as Chen Yu, who, despite not having a single line, still convincingly demonstrated his presence.

"Brothers, keep it up!"

"We're sure our show will allow us to make money while standing up."

Jiang Wen's words made everyone present laugh. Ever since "The Sun Also Rises" was questioned, Jiang Wen's obsession has been a constant companion.

Every step is executed with utmost precision.

Chen Yu has one more scene to film, and after that, he will head to Los Angeles for an audition for "Mulan".

The main casting locations for "Mulan" were around the world, but the final auditions were held in Los Angeles.

Whether it's a performance or a physical fitness test, a rigorous interview is required.

Besides.

Another important reason for my trip to Los Angeles was to discuss and officially invite the other main cast members with Jason Reed.

Chen Yu had already given some hints about this matter before.

The next step was simply to put his ideas into action.

Liu Yifei handed the thermos to Chen Yu, as the short rest was not enough to alleviate his fatigue.

Fortunately.

After filming today's scene, Chen Yu and the others can go home to prepare for their trip to Los Angeles.

It might take some time to complete the casting for "Mulan," and that will be the time for the two to part ways.

Chen Yu returned to China to continue filming "Let the Bullets Fly".

As for Liu Yifei, she needs to undergo secret training for "Mulan".

"Tonight, we'll kill the goose that lays the golden eggs!"

"It must be on the county magistrate's bed, so that no one thinks that he ate my food and died in my house or on the way."

Chow Yun-fat glanced at the people present, a fleeting shadow passing through his eyes.

"understand!"

Chen Yu changed his clothes again, wearing tattered linen clothes, which made him look much more haggard.

Which one is the chicken?

"The county magistrate."

"Then what about the egg?"

"Should we castrate the county magistrate?"

Chen Yu made a gesture, his eyes filled with malice.

"diamond!"

"Diamonds, diamonds!"

Chow Yun-fat grabbed Chen Yu's pierced ear and both of their faces became quite ferocious.

"My two diamonds."

Compared to Chow Yun-fat's gritted teeth, Chen Yu's expression clearly showed extreme pain, to the point that his wheat-colored face turned deathly pale from the pain.

"Don't worry, sir, I'll get you the diamonds you wanted right away."

Chen Yu shouted loudly.

After hearing these words, which sounded like a promise, Chow Yun-fat finally let go of his hand.

This scene is entirely between Chow Yun-fat and Chen Yu.

Looking at Chen Yu on the monitor, one could feel his confident and dignified presence despite being a newly crowned Best Actor.

The lack of personal will and absolute obedience to Huang Silang was quite evident.

Like a walking corpse.

Driven by others, one completes tasks that have no value to oneself.

"Do you understand why I sent you?"

"Because I'm dead."

Why did you die?

"Because I exposed the master."

When Chen Yu uttered those words, there was absolutely no emotion in his eyes.

Living in Goose City, and under Huang Silang's command, he had long since lost himself and was clearly numb to all external interference.

"That's right! If you live, you'll die sooner or later."

"If you die, you live forever."

Chow Yun-fat spread his hands, a glint of light flashing in his eyes as he looked at Chen Yu.

"understand!"

"Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs!"

The two voices rose one after the other.

Jiang Wen exclaimed again that he had truly struck gold.

Chen Yu not only brought him endless benefits, but also elevated the film "Let the Bullets Fly" to a new level.

While Chow Yun-fat and Ge You's influence and popularity are undoubtedly strong, they ultimately cannot compare to Chen Yu's popularity.

This force is currently unmatched both domestically and internationally.

This can be seen.

Casting Chen Yu in this film was absolutely the wisest choice.

Jiang Wen may not know that Chen Yu felt the same way.

As a reborn individual, he naturally knew the influence of the film "Let the Bullets Fly" in later generations.

Not only did it allow Jiang Wen to earn money while standing up, it also became a phenomenal blockbuster movie.

"Everyone knows it" doesn't even begin to describe it! (End of Chapter)
