I'm unbeatable at extracting skills from celebrities!

The audition is over!

The audition ended the moment Jiang Nan leaped into the air and unleashed the legendary Foshan Shadowless Kick, even though he only kicked three times instead of the seven kicks designed by director Tsui Hark.

Shi Nansheng was very excited!

This proves that I didn't misjudge him.

Right there in the conference room, when investor Ng See-yuen, director Tsui Hark, and martial arts choreographer Yuen Woo-ping unanimously agreed that Jiang Nan was the male lead in the film "Once Upon a Time in China III", she took out the contract and had Jiang Nan sign it.

The contract stipulated that the entire film would be shot over two months, specifically from October 15th to December 15th, 1993. If reshoots were required, the production team would reimburse travel and accommodation expenses.

but…

Jiangnan did not sign the contract!

It wasn't because the contract stipulated a low fee of only HK$12, while Jet Li's fee for filming "Once Upon a Time in China III" was HK$800 million.

However, Jiang Nan is currently a student at the Central Academy of Drama. If he were to take a two-month leave to film in Hong Kong, he would need the school's permission.

So, Jiangnan passed this difficult problem on to Shi Nansheng.

After all, Shi Nansheng had experience dealing with the Central Academy of Drama. In "Huang Feihong: The King of Kings", Wang Jinghua, who played Miao San Niang, was a student in the class of 1989 at the Central Academy of Drama.

She hadn't graduated when the movie was filmed.

Shi Nansheng acted decisively.

Upon hearing about Jiangnan's predicament, she immediately went upstairs and sent an invitation letter to the Central Academy of Drama via fax, inviting Jiangnan, a student from the 93 acting class of the Central Academy of Drama, to participate in "Huang Feihong: The Dragon City Annihilation".

Immediately afterwards, she bought a plane ticket to Beijing. Regardless of whether the leaders of the Central Academy of Drama who received the invitation would agree to Jiang Nan's request for leave, Shi Nansheng was determined to go there in person to show her sincerity.

And this... has nothing to do with Jiangnan.

"If the Central Academy of Drama agrees to grant me leave, I will come to perform; if they don't, then I'll have no choice but to stay on campus and study."

Although we only managed to get a half-finished version of Wong Fei-hung's Foshan Shadowless Kick, it was still enough.

"I'm not going to fight. There's really no difference between kicking three times in mid-air and kicking seven times."

Comparatively speaking, Jiang Nan is more interested in Chen Kaige's film "The Emperor and the Assassin," and he is determined to get the role of Lao Ai.

It's already this powerful with just a half-finished product. If the Wheel of Reincarnation technique, which has been around for over 2000 years, were to reappear in its entirety, how happy would the girls who had been intimate with him be?!

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

As they left the Junyi Hotel, Jiangnan was in a daze, clinging tightly to his arm. Wang Fei, walking alongside him, nuzzled against him.

"I was wondering what Mr. Leslie Cheung would treat us to tonight?"

"Hahaha…"

Jiangnan spoke quite loudly, and Leslie Cheung, who was walking in front and side by side with Wang Zuxian, naturally heard her.

Without turning his head, the man said, "There's a shop on Jordan Road and Wusong Street that makes really good braised pigeon. I'm planning to take you there to try it."

"OK!"

"Love makes even water taste sweet" perfectly describes Wang Fei's current state. She doesn't care what she eats tonight, as long as she's with Jiangnan.

But seeing Wang Fei and Leslie Cheung standing far away, Jiang Nan was a little puzzled. Didn't the best mahjong friends of the century know each other yet?

Why do we look like we don't know each other at all?

So, Jiangnan, who was walking towards Jordan Road, glanced around and then quickened his pace, saying:

"Brother Zong, Sister Zuxian, let me introduce you both. This tall, young, beautiful, and stunningly gorgeous woman beside me is my girlfriend, Wang Fei!"

"Oh, I see!"

Wang Zuxian, who was on the phone, was a little absent-minded. She really wanted to win the role of "Aunt Thirteen". If Huang Feihong could be replaced, why couldn't Aunt Thirteen be replaced?

After leaving the hotel, she kept talking on the phone with Xu Ke about this matter.

Compared to Wang Zuxian, Leslie Cheung was a bit more enthusiastic. He stopped and waited for Jiang Nan and Wang Fei.

"I know Afei, her song 'Easily Hurt Woman' is really good."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang!"

"Um…"

Looking at the two people speaking politely, Jiang Nan still felt something was wrong. They were not like the two people he had seen on TV in his previous life.

So Jiangnan decided to add fuel to the fire.

"Brother Zong, I'm going to tell you a secret about my girlfriend. It's a very private secret, and I don't usually tell it to just anyone."

"Tell me about it..." Leslie Cheung became interested.

"Tell me quickly..." With gossip to listen to, Wang Zuxian stopped making phone calls.

"Hmm..." Wang Fei was equally curious. Although the two had established a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, they had only known each other for a little over half a month.

What private things could he possibly have that would make him want to brag about them to his friends?

"My girlfriend is really good at playing mahjong. She once held a record that no one can break: she didn't win once in 40 days."

"what!"

Before Jiangnan could finish speaking, Wang Zuxian opened her mouth in surprise.

Although I'm not a mahjong enthusiast, I often played a few rounds with Leslie Cheung, Brigitte Lin, and Carina Lau during breaks in filming. Although I lost more often than I won, I did manage to win sometimes.

Wang Fei hasn't won a single card in 40 days; she's really been cursed with bad luck.

Just as she was about to verify whether what Jiangnan said was true or false, Leslie Cheung reached out and tightly grasped Wang Fei's hands.

"Ah Fei, I'm not saying anything more!"

I hereby solemnly declare that from this day forward, you are my friend.

"Well, aren't you and Anan not going back to the mainland tonight? Let's get together at my place, have Lin Qingxia and Liu Jialing come over, and have a good all-night party."

Uh… no?

Wang Fei was a little bewildered by Leslie Cheung's unusually enthusiastic response!

She wanted to shout, "Jiang Nan is slandering me!"

How could I not win for 40 days?

I'm very skilled at playing mahjong; it's just that I wasn't feeling well for those forty-odd days.

※※※※※※※※※※※

The National Day holiday is 3 days long.

Li Naiwen and Tang Xu sat under the basketball hoop at the Central Academy of Drama for three days. They didn't even have money for food, let alone for tickets to go home.

Thankfully, the wealthy Jiangnan is coming back soon.

Moreover, what he said about inviting his buddies to film a music video together is almost finalized.

When I return from Jiangnan, I won't have to freeload anymore. During the day, I'll go to Jingxiu Restaurant for fried rice, and at night, I'll go to the Muslim barbecue stall for barbecue.

I can eat 50 skewers of those fatty lamb skewers in one go, no matter who tries to persuade me otherwise.

The thought of lamb skewers made Li Naiwen even hungrier. He glanced at the sky, rubbed his stomach, and nudged his friend Tang Xu with his elbow.

"It's already 7 pm, and all the girls in our class are hiding in their dorms. Not one of them dares to come out. How about we just forget about this free meal today?"

"But bro, I'm a little hungry!"

Before Li Nai could finish speaking, Tang Xu's uncooperative stomach started rumbling.

"Hmm... Naiwen, when is Yuanyuan coming back? If she comes back, we'll both have food to eat."

"It seems she's not coming back tonight!" Li Naiwen knew some of the inside story.

Zhu Yuanyuan's aunt lives in Beijing. Whenever there is a holiday or a break, she always goes to her aunt's house. Then, when she has her early morning class the next day, she rushes back to school.

As the two were chatting, suddenly, someone ran in from the entrance of the Central Academy of Drama.

"Teacher Gao..."

Upon seeing that the visitor was Gao Jingwen, Li Naiwen and Tang Xu quickly stood up, preparing to greet him.

"Oh, it's you two..." Gao Jingwen said somewhat anxiously.

"Did you two see Director Liang enter the office?"

"I saw it. They went in 10 minutes ago." Li Naiwen pointed towards the main teaching building.

"What's wrong, Teacher Gao?" Tang Xu asked, a little curious.

It's currently the holiday season, so there's not much going on and the teachers won't be coming to school. But today, Liang Bolong, the head of the Performing Arts Department, came, as did Wang Mingya, the deputy head, and now another class teacher, Gao Jingwen, has arrived.

"It's nothing much. It's just that Jiangnan from our class went to Hong Kong to shoot a music video and was spotted by the famous martial arts director Tsui Hark, who wanted to invite him to play Wong Fei-hung."

I rushed over to ask what the department meant.

At this point, Gao Jingwen took out 10 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Li Naiwen.

"Here, go out and get a bowl of wontons."
