Chapter 27, His name is Li Yun, His name is Li Yun!
Wai Ka-fai watched from the side, his eyes filled with shock.
I kept thinking about this shot.
These three Buddhas under the sun
"This set of shots is fantastic."
"Is 'fantastic' the only word you can use to describe it? Then your level of education is indeed a bit low."
Johnnie To swallowed hard, then teased Wai Ka-fai. In fact, he was also so shocked by the scene that he didn't know what to say.
Is his acting really that good?
not bad.
But the most astonishing part is the display of that wondrous aura.
"Originally, it was under the Buddha Mahavairocana that one attained Buddhahood through the causes of karma, so how come Sun Guo also became a Buddha?" Wai Ka-fai murmured at this moment, "Wait, he's not a villain, is he?"
At this point, Wai Ka-fai realized what was going on.
This character's performance was truly outstanding.
But it doesn't seem to fit the character's persona.
His words seem to completely contradict the main point.
What a villain!
It looks a bit sinister but actually righteous!
There is evil, wickedness, and killing in it, but no matter how you look at it, you can't hate it. The emotions built up throughout the previous chapters have now ended with this result.
For a moment, Wai Ka-fai was still in a daze.
But Johnnie To is different.
His instincts, his talent, and his years of professional experience told him that this was how it should be filmed! This was how it should be portrayed!
"Buddha is compassion, equality, and the ability to lay down the butcher's knife and instantly become a Buddha. But Asuras are also Buddhas, and the wrath of Asuras is also the wrath of Buddhas."
At this moment, Johnnie To gained some insight while looking at the three Buddhas under the sun.
"If the Buddha is the one who makes people lay down their butcher's knives, then isn't Sun Guo, who seeks karmic retribution for the sake of all sentient beings, also a kind of Buddha? They are two sides of the same coin in understanding cause. If understanding cause is Buddha, then why isn't he also Buddha?"
"He is also a Buddha."
There are Buddhas, Arhats, and Asuras among the Buddhas.
At this moment, Johnnie To took a deep breath.
"Big guys have big brains. The last shot was done in one take, a perfect wrap. They delivered the shot I wanted at the exact time I wanted it most."
They even gave me a character development that exceeded my expectations!
At that moment, Johnnie To never expected this outcome.
"What's this person's name?"
"I need to know this person's name!"
"He seems to have been brought by a mainland agent... I'll go ask who this mainland agent is first."
...
On the periphery,
In a secluded spot, Li Xingda smoked a cigarette, shaking his head, which ached from a hangover the night before.
Everyone says that Moutai doesn't give you a headache.
But drinking too much will still make you feel intoxicated.
However, today is my nephew's day to shine, so I have to come and watch over him.
Although Li Xingda couldn't get into the inner circle of the filming area, someone like him, a low-level member of the crew, was an outsider. But Li Xingda didn't care. Being alone and unnoticed, he was free to stand in the corner. At least no one would bother him about smoking or anything.
Li Xingda didn't have any particular expectations for Li Yun's performance.
After all, Li Yun was just a minor actor, a featured extra. He only got a chance to appear in "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" because of his good luck and good looks, which is why he was able to get such opportunities.
Li Xingda was genuinely delighted. He recalled how he was so happy when he first learned that his nephew had landed a supporting role that he couldn't sleep and couldn't wait to brag to his colleagues in the entertainment industry.
Even though supporting roles are a starting point for most college student actors,
But that didn't stop Li Xingda from being happy about it.
it's here.
After a heavy drinking session, he gave away the Moutai liquor he had fought for during his divorce, and even used the resources from over a dozen extras and special appearances to exchange for these two shots of the big guy with great wisdom.
Even if it's just to let Li Yun see the world, broaden his horizons, and gain some knowledge, that would be good enough.
I didn't expect him to always have a chance to be noticed in the film crew of two veteran directors from Hong Kong and an old-school superstar.
Johnnie To is a Hong Kong Film Award winner for Best Director.
Most Hong Kong directors only dream of being nominated, but Johnnie To actually won the award.
"It's great to broaden my horizons, get some exposure, and become a familiar face. I'm happy to see myself truly become an actor, to act alongside Andy Lau and work with Johnnie To."
Take ten thousand steps back.
As long as Li Yun is happy.
I don't expect any outstanding performance.
Li Xingda knew that.
Li Yun actually really likes listening to Andy Lau's songs.
I had heard Li Yun sing this song before. After filming, I went to a karaoke bar and he requested it.
God loves the clumsy child.
Li Yun liked it very much.
Li Xingda remembered it.
Put down your cigarette, wait for the filming to finish, and then go take a short... look at the scenery here.
At this moment, Li Xingda found a curb to sit down, happily smoking a cigarette while watching the crowds thronging the set.
I can't see what kind of movie they're filming inside.
He can't get in.
It doesn't matter if I'm not qualified to go in.
Until he heard a voice.
Who is the actor who acted opposite Andy Lau?
"who's that person?"
"The director is asking who brought him here; he wants to find him."
The director is asking.
Who acted opposite Andy Lau?
Li Xingda was stunned for a moment.
then.
Everyone's eyes turned to look at us.
For Li Xingda, this was the first time he had been noticed on set. As a brothel manager, his status was very low... No one saw him, no one knew him, no one paid him any attention. All they knew was that he was called Old Li.
His name is Fatty Li.
His name is Xue Tou Li.
But at this moment.
All of them looked over.
they.
I'm asking myself that question.
What is your name?
Then Li Xingda saw a path clearing out in the crowd, a path opened up for him. Through the noisy and crowded people, he saw the Buddha statue under the sun.
He's acting opposite Andy Lau.
That person.
He was covered in filth.
Clothes were tattered.
His eyes were full of expression.
This was also the first time Li Xingda had seen his nephew act.
The expressive power of those eyes.
At that moment, the cigarette butt fell down.
I burned my hand.
"What's your name, Fatty? The people you brought are really amazing." At this moment, Director Zhang of the film crew looked at Li Xingda with some disbelief.
Even now, he still doesn't know the name of the person who gave him a case of Moutai liquor; it's just that the current director is asking him.
At that moment, he heard General Manager Zhang ask his name.
Li Xingda stood up and said loudly.
He said excitedly.
"His name is Li Yun, Li Yun! He's my nephew, his name is Li Yun!"
The rising sun, slowly ascending, shines its light upon the earth.
It's a bit too bright.
Li Xingda felt his eyes getting moist.
"His name is Li Yun!!!"
