Veteran Hong Kong stars reorganize the Chinese entertainment industry.

In the evening, Liu Zhongze and the five lead actors finished filming the final scenes. By the time they were done, it was already 2 a.m.

The five main actors fled the filming location as if escaping, leaving only Liu Zhongze, who was dressed as a ghost, and the other staff members behind.

A makeup artist came over and skillfully removed the dead person's makeup from Liu Zhongze.

At this moment, Brother Zhou and Xiao Li were pushed by Xu Zhen to Liu Zhongze's side. In order to catch up with the later progress, Liu Zhongze explained the scene to the two of them while the makeup artist was removing his makeup.

Their lines weren't many; the main thing was to use their arrogant demeanor to portray the bullying nature of those who were trying to ruin the scholar's life.

"Oh dear, Nakazawa, how did we end up acting?"

"Yes, Brother Liu, neither Brother Zhou nor I are actors. How can we cooperate with you to film this last scene well?"

Liu Zhongze grinned and said, "You guys go do your makeup first, I'll get you into character later."

At this point, the makeup artist began to dress Liu Zhongze up as an ancient scholar. He was very thin, so by simply whitening his face, he could give off the feeling of a frail scholar.

With his makeup on, Liu Zhongze became fully immersed in the role. Of all the people present, probably no one knew the scholar better than him.

At this moment, he was like a scholar who had died and suddenly came back to life, recalling the past, his thoughts churning.

When Liu Zhongze opened his eyes, the intense hatred that had previously filled them was gone, replaced only by the pride of a scholar and impeccable manners.

What subject matter wasn't filmed in Hong Kong in the 80s?

When it comes to period dramas and mythological themes, Hong Kong has produced many TV series, most of which were hits on both sides of the strait in their time. Naturally, Liu Zhongze learned the essence of these series.

Wearing a thick cotton-padded coat, Brother Zhou looked like a nouveau riche wearing a mink coat, giving off a smug and arrogant vibe, somewhat resembling the image of a bully.

Xiao Li's clothes were ordinary, making him look like a subservient servant, and he wouldn't look out of place as the butler of a tyrant.

Zhao Dekai was still uneasy, so he picked up the walkie-talkie and asked, "Brother, are these two really capable?"

"Don't worry, director, I can guarantee you, they'll definitely do well."

Xiao Li smiled shyly and said, "Why do I feel like you believe in my success even more than my mom does?"

"Haha, I feel the same way." Brother Zhou patted Xiao Li on the shoulder.

After the three rehearsed their lines together, when Xu Zhen came over to remind them to get ready to film, the performance on camera was surprisingly flawless, full of pleasant surprises.

The bully Zhou Ge on the screen looks like a nouveau riche, but the way he looks at Liu Zhongze, this scholar, is full of aggression, as if countless horrifying thoughts are flashing through his mind.

Butler Li noticed his master's mood and glanced at Liu Zhongze with a destructive urge no less intense than Brother Zhou's.

"Click, passed!"

As soon as the walkie-talkie went silent, director Zhao Dekai rushed to the filming location, unable to hide his smile, and said, "Wow, your acting is so good! How come I never knew?"

"Huh? Acting? What kind of acting?"

Brother Zhou complained, "Zhongze said we should treat him like a Japanese soldier. We just put him in that role, but we weren't acting at all; we were genuinely hating the Japanese!"

Upon hearing this, the director laughed heartily and said, "Excellent! That's very good. From now on, continue to treat Brother Liu as a Japanese soldier. This feeling is spot on!"

The three actors didn't have much time to act. Most of the time, they were waiting for the crew to build the set on set. Once the set was built and filmed, the set would be dismantled and moved to the next location for reuse.

They filmed like this until dawn, and all the night's shots were completed, leaving only one shot. This shot showed the bully successfully replacing the scholar as the top scholar and returning to the village to show off his power, while the scholar was being kept like a dog and briefly regained his senses.

Brother Zhou appeared in the alley, dressed in red, with extras in front of him playing gongs and drums. Ordinary villagers came out to see what was happening.

If someone gets in his way, Xiao Li will go up and drive them away. Although he smiles and tries to persuade them kindly, his eyes are full of disdain.

The two were completely immersed in their roles, requiring fewer takes than the five main actors.

The camera slowly pans to Liu Zhongze, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog. His eyes gradually change from numb and confused to doubt, confusion, and then anger and resentment. With each change in his eyes, his micro-expressions also show slight differences.

He suddenly lunged into the alley to bite Zhou Ge, who was riding a white horse. This sight made Zhou Ge, who had been watching Liu Zhongze closely, tremble and almost fall off the white horse. Fortunately, Xiao Li quickly caught him.

The chain binding his neck prevented Liu Zhongze from breaking free. He suppressed all his emotions, and a fleeting moment of rationality appeared in his eyes, as if he were going through his memories, trying to find an opportunity for revenge.

at last!

Liu Zhongze's expression changed once again, and a crazed and cruel face appeared on the screen.

This scene made Zhao Dekai shudder. Instead of being scared, he asked the editor to come over and splice this scene together with Liu Zhongze's individual shots of playing a ghost.

They were surprised to find that Liu Zhongze's expression was exactly the same as the expression he made when he played a ghost, from his eyes to the details of his micro-expressions.

He gives the impression that evil spirits can emerge even in broad daylight, or that from the moment he showed that expression, he ceased to be human.

Snapped...

Applause broke out first on the monitor, followed by applause from nearby staff.

The crew then realized that the filming was completely finished, and Brother Zhou and Xiao Li walked over to Liu Zhongze with smiles.

"Nakazawa?"

"Brother Liu!"

Upon hearing their greetings, Liu Zhongze snapped out of his scholar persona and stared blankly at them.

"Zhongze, you're taking this filming way too seriously. Didn't you even notice the marks on your neck?" Brother Zhou walked over to Liu Zhongze and untied the rope for him.

The two of them didn't dare to approach Liu Zhongze, who was completely immersed in his role. It felt like seeing a ghost in broad daylight. They only dared to get close after confirming that he had broken free of his character.

Xiao Li helped Liu Zhongze up and said, "Brother Liu is truly a pure actor. He pays attention to every detail when acting. When I act with you, I always feel like you're leading me by the nose."

Liu Zhongze touched his neck and asked, "Are you done filming?"

"Filming is complete!"

Xu Zhen clapped his hands as he approached Liu Zhongze, asked for his bank account number, and said, "I'll transfer the money to you today. The director really enjoys working with Teacher Liu, and so do I."

All eyes were on Liu Zhongze. At this moment, Liu Zhongze's acting skills captivated everyone present, and everyone looked at him with admiration.
