Chapter 74 The King of Comedy

Li Xuan's eyes twitched, and he looked at the boy in front of him with a little curiousness, the future king of comedy.

"Well, A Xing, how did you find this?" Li Xuan asked in confusion.

"Ah? Oh..." Zhou Xingchi, who was only seventeen years old at this time, was a little dull. After hearing Li Xuan's question, he paused for a moment, then suddenly realized that he took out a business card from his pocket and said to Li Xuan: "Mr. Li, Weizai, I and I are good friends who have played together."

"Forehead……"

Unexpectedly, Liang Chaowei and Zhou Xingchi had this relationship. Li Xuan was slightly surprised. Looking at the wrinkled business card in Zhou Xingchi's hand, Li Xuan asked, "Waizai, he really doesn't like filming?"

"He has never liked to show up since he was a child." Zhou Xingchi touched the back of his head and continued murmured: "But Mr. Li, I am very interested in filming. I like your company's "Scary People" very much."

Is this guy recommending himself? Li Xuan smiled secretly and then asked, "Then have you ever filmed a movie before?"

"No, no." Zhou Xingchi replied cowardly: "But I can learn."

Looking at Zhou Xingchi who was nervous, Li Xuan no longer had the interest in teasing and said seriously: "Since that's the case, I can let you try it first. Welcome to join my company, but you can only start with playing supporting roles now."

Zhou Xingchi, who was tangled, looked happy and said happily: "Thank you Mr. Li, thank you Mr. Li."

"Okay, don't call Mr. Li." Li Xuan waved his hand: "You might as well call me Brother Xuan."

"Forehead……"

"Why? I don't want to?" Li Xuan asked in confusion.

After hearing this, Zhou Xingchi nodded quickly and said, "I'm willing, Brother Xuan."

"By the way, I heard from my grandfather that you have been waiting for me for several days, why don't you call me directly?" Li Xuan asked.

Zhou Xingchi looked at the business card that was still holding in his hand and said embarrassedly: "This business card was brought from Weizai. If I call, I won't it..."

This guy wants a lot. Li Xuan patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, I understand. The child just thinks too much. But it's so late now. Let's talk about other things tomorrow. You go back first, wait for me here at 8:30 tomorrow morning, and I'll arrange your business."

"Yeah, then thank you Li Xian... Thank you Brother Xuan." Zhou Xingchi hurriedly replied.

"Okay, go back!" Li Xuan patted Zhou Xingchi on the shoulder again.

"Brother Xuan, goodbye!"

"Yeah, goodbye..."

Looking at Zhou Xingchi who had left when he got in the car, Li Xuan almost smiled. Unexpectedly, he sent out a business card to catch Liang Chaowei, but instead caught a bigger fish. In terms of the money-making ability of Hong Kong box office in the 1980s, there are several who are comparable to Zhou Xingchi last year.

However, Li Xuan frowned. Zhou Xingchi is just a child now, his face has not grown up, let alone acting skills. The task of making this hairy child grow into the king of comedy is a long way to go for Li Xuan.

"What are you doing standing here alone?" A question suddenly came from the side. Li Xuan looked back and saw that it was Zhong Chuhong who had just got off the bus.

"Haha, I just signed the first actor in our company." Li Xuan smiled proudly, looked at Zhong Chuhong and continued, "By the way, where is Fatty Wang? Didn't come back with you today?"

"No, they still have a scene tonight, so I'll come back first." Zhong Chuhong replied: "You just said you signed an actor, who is it?"

"Zhou Xingchi." Li Xuan said proudly.

"Zhou Xingchi?" Zhong Chuhong thought for a while and asked in confusion: "Why haven't I heard of it?"

"A newcomer, who hasn't acted in a show yet, let him play as a supporting role first."

"You are really..." Zhong Chuhong gave Li Xuan a blank look: "What are you proud of if you are a newcomer?"

Li Xuan touched his forehead awkwardly, pulled Zhong Chuhong and walked home.

"You don't understand..."

"Virtue, I don't understand why you are stupid."

Early the next morning, Li Xuan stopped going to the company that was being renovated and took Zhou Xingchi to Ngong Ping Market on Lantau Island.

Ngong Ping Market is located on Ngong Ping Hill on Lantau Island, Hong Kong. It is a large market covering an area of ​​nearly two hectares. The market includes both elegant Chinese ancient buildings and Western buildings with a strong Gothic style. The two different architectural styles echo each other, showing the unique customs and culture of the Ngong Ping region.

Such a unique market can be used as an outdoor site for "Mr. Zombie". However, this outdoor site is not that easy to get. Just like when you go to the police station to apply for a filming, in order to close a street less than 200 meters for filming for half a day, Liu Chuwei went to the Land Affairs Department several times. Not only did he donate 50,000 Hong Kong dollars to the Land Affairs Department, but the thank-you unit will also add a Land Affairs Department to the prologue at the end of the movie.

When Li Xuan arrived, the filming was about to start. Several venues were directing and coordinating fifty or sixty extras. These people were invited from the attached fishing village, one of which was 100 Hong Kong dollars a day. He threw Zhou Xingchi into one of the venues and asked him to change clothes and play supporting roles. Li Xuan ignored it and walked to Liu Chuwei.

Liu Chuwei is talking to Lin Zhengying and Xu Chuying.

Since "The Scary of Man" became popular, the image of Lin Zhengying, a Taoist priest, has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the movie "The Ghost Fights" that followed by Baoxiang Company, Lin Zhengying played another Taoist priest. Liu Chuwei's Uncle Jiu in "Mr. Zombie" was also written based on the role of Lin Zhengying in "The Scary of Man", so when filming this movie, he directly invited Lin Zhengying, who had just finished filming "The Ghost Fights" to come over.

As for Xu Chuying, it was proposed by Li Xuan halfway. After all, Xu Chuying's apprentice Wencai, who had watched later generations, was very outstanding, and Li Xuan naturally didn't want to let it go. Moreover, his brothers, Xu Chuwen, have been behind the scenes, while Xu Chujie is singing. He, who only knows how to act but looks sorry for the audience, has been free for half a year. As soon as the crew invites him, he agrees quickly.

The next scene they were about to film was a scene where the master Jiu Uncle and his apprentice Wencai discussed the scene on the street to drink Kung Fu tea. The scene was quite simple, but Liu Tuwei, who was striving for excellence, still talked for a long time.

Listening to them talking about the show, Li Xuan looked at Lin Zhengying and Xu Shuying with a secret smile.

At this time, Lin Zhengying had already put on makeup. She was wearing a short local cloth jacket, her hair turned gray, and even her eyebrows became famous one-line eyebrows in later generations. She looked like a middle-aged man over fifty years old. However, Xu Chuying next to him just changed into a dress and carried a small leather bag with a long strap, which looked normal last year.

However, this pair of master and apprentice who looked very good last year, Xu Chuying, the apprentice, was six years older than Lin Zhengying, the master, which was played by Lin Zhengying. It is an interesting thing.

"Ah Han, have the shooting tracks on your side been laid?" Liu Chuwei asked to a group of people busy next to a fish stall not far away.

A young young man in the crowd hurriedly replied, "It's already paved."

"Okay, we are ready to start filming, and all the venues are ready!" Liu Chuwei shouted loudly.

Seeing everyone getting busy, Li Xuan quickly followed Liu Chuwei to the back of the monitor. Such a good photography teacher would be sorry for him if he didn't learn two tricks.

"Everyone is buried in their own positions and is ready to start shooting!" Liu Chuwei shouted with a loudspeaker.

"Scene 67 first filming."

“action!”

"Bang!" The field note board was knocked softly.

"Crazy..."

In the camera, a large bucket of fresh fish was poured onto the fish stall, and the fisherman stirred up the fresh fish. Uncle Jiu, played by Lin Zhengying, held a big cigarette pole and his apprentice Wencai, passed by...

"Brother Xuan!"

A whisper came from beside him. Li Xuan turned around and saw that he was Dong Wei, the actor of another apprentice Qiu Sheng in the movie. This guy is also a member of the Hong family class and has good skills. What's more rare is that this guy is the only handsome and handsome person in the Hong family class at present.

Originally, Qiu Sheng in "Mr. Zombie" was played by Qian Xiaohao. This guy later played the villain in Li Lianjie's version of "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng". Originally, Li Xuan also planned to let Qian Xiaohao play, after all, these masters and apprentices were considered a classic. Unfortunately, Li Xuan found out after checking that Qian Xiaohao is now a contracted actor of Shaw Brothers, and it is impossible for him to come out to film a movie.

"Where did you go just now? I haven't seen you for so long." Li Xuan asked casually.

"Just..." Dong Wei also replied casually: "I just played against Jiahui in the watch shop there."

When Li Xuan heard the name Jiahui, he shuddered immediately. How could he forget that evil star!

"Brother Xuan!"
