Chapter 73: The Infernal Affairs film crew, Brother and Sister Mui come to visit the set!
Everyone present, including the two award-winning actors, thought that Xiao Chen had only proposed a concept or a direction.
The specific dialogue still needs to be polished by the scriptwriting team overnight.
However, Xiao Chen took a piece of paper, leaned against the railing of the rooftop, and quickly scribbled the pen across the paper.
In just five minutes.
He handed two sheets of paper covered in writing to Andy Lau and Leung Chiu-wai respectively.
"Brother Hua, Brother Wei, these are the lyrics I just wrote."
"You guys see how it feels."
The two of them took the paper, and the moment their eyes fell on it, they both paused for a moment.
People around craned their necks in curiosity, but no one dared to approach and disturb them.
All they could see was the expressions of the two award-winning actors shifting from initial calm to astonishment, and then to an indescribable sense of awe and admiration.
Andy Lau's knuckles were slightly white as he held the paper.
He spoke softly to the air, reciting the first line of dialogue from the paper, and immediately entered the role of Liu Jianming.
I'll give you a chance.
The voice was extremely tired, and contained a disguise and a barely perceptible plea.
Liang Chaowei did not respond immediately.
He simply closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, those expressive eyes were filled with ten years of Chen Yongren's forbearance and sorrow.
"Excuse me, I'm a police officer."
He uttered just seven simple words, without any violent movements or desperate roars.
With just two lines of dialogue, the sense of tragic destiny, the absurdity of black and white being reversed, and the tension suppressed to the extreme are already overwhelming.
The entire rooftop was completely silent.
Even the wind stopped.
Everyone was completely absorbed in this suffocating atmosphere, unable to extricate themselves.
Xiao Chen neither called "start" nor "stop".
He simply watched quietly, letting the two award-winning actors act out the dialogue on those few pages.
"Who knows?"
"I didn't have a choice before, but now I want to be a good person."
Each line of dialogue, though spoken calmly and with restraint, was uttered with a heart-wrenching intensity.
This is not a simple black-and-white duel.
This is the final soul-to-soul exchange between a villain who wants to crawl back from hell to the human world and a lone hero who has persevered in the human hell for ten years.
They are enemies, yet also the people who understand each other best in the world.
As the last line of dialogue fell.
Leung Chiu-wai, or rather Chan Wing-yan, tapped his head lightly with the gun that was pointed at Lau Kin-ming.
This action wasn't in the script.
It was Leung Chiu-wai's own impromptu performance.
A single action perfectly conveyed Chen Yongren's inner despair and final liberation.
"Card!"
Xiao Chen's voice finally broke the silence.
He wore a satisfied smile, his eyes shining brightly.
"Perfect."
Two words jolted everyone awake from their daze.
Andy Lau let out a long sigh of relief, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Those ten-odd minutes of dialogue scenes were more tiring than having him do a full day of wire work.
That was a clash of mental strength.
Leung Chiu-wai also detached himself from his role and walked up to Xiao Chen.
He didn't say anything, but just patted his shoulder hard.
The admiration in his eyes speaks louder than a thousand words.
He had been acting for half his life, and this was the first time he had met a director who could see through people's hearts so clearly.
Moreover, this director is only twelve years old.
The way the crew members around Xiao Chen looked at him changed once again.
Everyone had a premonition.
When this film is released, it will be something that will overturn the entire industry's perception.
Just then, a small commotion arose at the entrance to the film set.
Many of the crew members were familiar faces in the Hong Kong film industry, and they greeted the newcomers with delight.
"elder brother!"
"Sister Amei!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw two figures wearing sunglasses, yet still radiating star power, walking towards them with smiles.
It was Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui.
When Andy Lau and Tony Leung saw them, they immediately greeted them with smiles.
"Brother Rong, Ah Mei, what brings you here?"
Leslie Cheung took off his sunglasses, revealing a face that could captivate anyone.
He smiled and hugged Andy Lau, but his eyes were searching through the crowd.
"We've come to visit the set and also to see our little Chen."
Our family.
Many people present were secretly alarmed upon hearing these three words.
Unexpectedly, the relationship between Xiao Chen and his brothers was even closer than everyone had imagined.
Mei Yanfang was even more direct; when she saw Xiao Chen standing behind the monitor, her eyes lit up.
She didn't even have time to say a few words to Leung Chiu-wai before she walked quickly through the crowd.
Amidst everyone's astonished gazes.
This powerful and versatile queen of the music scene bent down and gave Xiao Chen a tight hug.
"Xiao Chen! I've missed Sister Mei so much!"
"Have you been behaving well lately? Why haven't you come to Hong Kong to see me and my brother?"
She affectionately rubbed her cheek against Xiao Chen's hair, her tone full of doting.
Following closely behind, Leslie Cheung walked over with a smile, stretched out her finger, and gently scratched Xiao Chen's nose.
"Little guy, you've gotten even more handsome lately."
"I heard you're a big director now, very impressive indeed."
"Didn't they cast me and your sister Anita Mui in this movie?"
"We won't charge you for your work."
Xiao Chen was being held by Mei Yanfang, and he gave her a smile so sweet it was almost sickening.
"Brother, Sister Mei, what brings you here?"
"I just wanted you guys to be busy."
This obedient and adorable appearance was in stark contrast to Xiao Chen's powerful aura of complete control on set just now.
Everyone on the crew was stunned.
What's going on here?!
This kid can change his face!
You're from Sichuan, right?
Mei Yanfang held Xiao Chen tightly, looking him up and down.
"You've lost some weight. Is it because filming is too tiring?"
"How did Sister Jinhua take care of you?"
Wang Jinhua, standing to the side, was both amused and exasperated, knowing that Mei Yanfang was joking.
"My dear sister, I have someone prepare nourishing soup for him every day."
"We treat him like an ancestor, but Xiao Chen is still growing and can't gain weight no matter how much he eats."
This is real.
Since he came to Hong Kong, Wang Jinhua and Ye Huimei were worried that he wouldn't be used to the food.
But there wasn't a small kitchen, so they simply found a well-established restaurant in Beijing and had meals delivered to Xiao Chen every day.
Leslie Cheung smiled, his gaze falling on Chen Guanxi, whose face was still somewhat red and swollen, not far away. He raised an eyebrow and turned to Xiao Chen.
"I've heard that our Xiaochen's temper is getting worse."
"They actually dared to slap people on set?"
The older brother's tone was clearly teasing, without a trace of blame.
Xiao Chen chuckled and poked his little head out from Mei Yanfang's arms.
"He's not thinking straight; he needs to be woken up."
The twelve-year-old boy spoke these words with clear eyes, showing no sign of guilt.
Mei Yanfang chuckled and pinched Xiao Chen's cheek.
"Small in stature but big in wisdom."
"However, he is lucky to have received your guidance."
Leslie Cheung even joked with a smile.
"I think no one in the film and television industry will dare to bully you from now on."
He paused, then changed the subject, his eyes becoming serious.
"Seriously, Xiao Chen, when are you going to make a movie with your brother?"
"I've been waiting for you for so long since 'Farewell My Concubine'."
