Chapter 60: Mission Hindered? Celestial Beauty Makes Her Debut!
After a moment's thought, Shen Gongbao understood Wu Yusen's idea.
He wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he looked at Zhao Yanzi and asked, "I have no problem with adding scenes, but would Zhao Yanzi agree to do these more dangerous scenes?"
Don't look at the future. Many people like to compare future films and TV shows with the present ones to mock future actors for not working hard enough.
Of course, the actors themselves also have their own issues.
However, an actor's performance is more of a result of systematization and teamwork.
On set, how the actors perform is basically arranged by the director and production team.
No one wants to suffer for no reason, and the production team doesn't want star actors to take risks.
Therefore, actresses like Zhao Yanzi have two stunt doubles and one stand-in for dialogue on set, and they basically avoid any dangerous scenes.
Zhang Ziyi has a body double for nude scenes, Gong Li has a body double for lighting, and Zhang Tianai entered the industry as Gong Li's body double for lighting.
Therefore, actors nowadays also engage in various forms of laziness, but the current production environment on set is relatively good, which restrains them.
If you put today's actors into a future film crew, they'll be just as happily riding fake horses.
So Shen Gongbao's words hit the nail on the head: Would Zhao Yanzi agree to this?
John Woo, however, was prepared. He said with a smile, "There will definitely be a stand-in for Zhao Yanzi's scenes. She will act in some positive dialogue scenes with you, but the overall risk is not high."
The production team is looking for a stunt double. Don't worry, we won't put the lead actor in any danger.
After all, you have many roles and are quite famous; if something happens, the filming schedule will be delayed.
This is just a sales tactic by John Woo; they're still looking for a stand-in.
But when it will be found is hard to say.
If filming has already begun and a stunt double hasn't been found, Shen Gongbao, out of "professional ethics," would easily be forced to step in.
Shen Gongbao was aware of the situation. He looked at the behind-the-scenes photographer who had been filming behind Wu Yusen and said with a smile, "No problem, you are the director, you decide how to film it."
But I still want to remind you again: respect life, have reverence for fire, and never play with fire and get burned.
For Shen Gongbao, there was no danger. He had a superhuman physical talent, with explosive power and speed. If things went wrong, he could just run away. In addition, he had thick skin and strong defense, so there was absolutely no danger for him.
Since Wu Yusen could persuade Zhao Yanzi, then Shen Gongbao certainly wouldn't have any problem either.
It would be good to act alongside Zhao Yanzi; getting involved might bring some surprises.
Moreover, Shen Gongbao also sensed a possible conspiracy—if a fire did occur, the production team would definitely have to find someone to take the blame.
Shen Gongbao has offended Wu Yusen, Awei, and others, as well as Cheng Tian, and is very likely to become the scapegoat.
This is something we must be wary of.
In the past, a fire broke out on the set of the movie "Red Cliff" and people died. In the end, the blame was placed on the South Korean special effects team, who were accused of only setting fires and not putting them out. This was done by taking advantage of the domestic antipathy towards South Korea to divert public attention.
Therefore, Shen Gongbao now needs to appear more righteous, because the behind-the-scenes photographers have captured these conversations.
In the Red Cliff film crew, the source material was divided into two types:
One type is the footage from the main feature film. These are all recorded using professional photography equipment. After shooting, the footage is copied and backed up, and then handed over to professionals for strict preservation according to procedures.
Another type is behind-the-scenes footage, which is basically shot at low cost using tools such as digital cameras, then edited and saved on a computer for easy real-time promotion.
The production team filmed a lot of these behind-the-scenes clips, which already amount to over ten gigabytes on their computers. This was also to support the strategy of filming and promoting Red Cliff simultaneously.
After agreeing to Wu Yusen's request, Shen Gongbao decided to create a virus program and secretly implant it into the computer used for editing behind-the-scenes footage, so as to save the footage that would be beneficial to him.
After all, one should always be wary of others.
In case someone takes things out of context and pins the blame on you, at least you'll have material to use as evidence.
While Shen Gongbao was out there strategizing on set, Liu Yifei finished a brand event and went shopping with Li Yitong at a mall on Hong Kong Island.
"This IV bag is nice, you can have it!"
"This outfit suits you perfectly. Wear it back and show it to the Taoist priest; it'll seduce him!"
"I bought an extra watch, so I don't need it. Here, take it."
It has to be said that Liu Yifei is very generous. After taking Li Yitong shopping, she bought her a lot of designer goods.
Li Yitong was overwhelmed by the sweet talk and was actually somewhat moved.
She said with a slightly arrogant tone, "Since we're teammates this time, I'll accept these things."
Liu Yifei nodded and joked, "Keep it, consider it your medical expenses."
"What do you mean?"
Seeing Li Yitong's confusion, Liu Yifei adjusted her sunglasses and said calmly, "Every time I stole your husband, you were also hurt. This is medical compensation."
Li Yitong: "???"
"What, you don't accept this explanation?" Liu Yifei's lips curled up wildly as she continued to tease, "Then it's your husband's hard-earned money!"
"You've had it pretty tough, dating a Taoist priest, and he hasn't given you any gifts at all. Consider it his reward for your hard work."
After Liu Yifei got together with Shen Gongbao and started causing trouble, she always imitated Shen Gongbao's words and actions.
Their communication skills have improved considerably.
With just a few words, Li Yitong was made to blush!
Seeing that Li Yitong was about to lose her temper, Liu Yifei quickly said, "Don't worry, Xianmei, I'll help you get back at her today!"
When we go to investigate Yuan Weihao later, we must disguise ourselves.
I'll pretend to be a man, and you'll be my girlfriend.
Today I'm not going to be a Caucus on you anymore, I'm going to be a Caucus on that big bad guy, Shen Gongbao!
"This Taoist priest is such a womanizer, aren't you angry? We have to teach him a lesson!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yitong's attention was diverted, and she also thought that Liu Yifei's idea was feasible and interesting.
But Li Yitong also wanted to retaliate against Liu Yifei, so she said, "I can pretend to be your girlfriend, but you have to call my husband first."
Tell him clearly on the phone that you need to borrow his girlfriend today, are you in?
Liu Yifei: "————"
Liu Yifei is quite funny now and can tease Li Yitong at will, but she is still rather afraid of Shen Gongbao.
There was no way around it; Shen Gongbao was very strict when he taught her boxing.
Tianxian was also terrified of being beaten, and had a kind of fear of Shen Gongbao, like that of a strict teacher or father.
She was really afraid that she would get beaten up when she got back after saying those words!
"So, do you dare or not?"
Upon hearing Li Yitong's question, Liu Yifei coughed and said, "Forget it, let's just be best friends."
Seeing that Liu Yifei was scared, Li Yitong laughed especially happily.
Finally, we've won back a point!
Most importantly, she seems to have found Liu Yifei's weakness.
The two women returned to the hotel, put away their shopping items, and began to change clothes.
After thinking about it, Liu Yifei decided to wear a wig and get a short hairstyle. Her clothing and appearance were also more masculine, making her look very assertive.
The "celestial beauty" look is truly something special; Liu Yifei's outfit is indeed very cool, and even Li Yitong couldn't help but take a few more glances.
In contrast, Li Yitong's outfit was quite casual, featuring a simple T-shirt, trousers, and a single ponytail, which accentuated her sweet and innocent charm.
After changing their clothes, the two snuggled together and took a few photos.
Liu Yifei said with a smile, "You know what, we actually do look quite good together. How about we give our group a name?"
Li Yitong thought for a moment and suggested, "How about calling it the 'Flying Snow Duo'? Or something extraordinary? Something truly remarkable?"
Liu Yifei pondered for a moment, recalling what Shen Gongbao had said earlier, and then said, "How about calling it the Flying Tigers?"
Liu Yifei's "Fei" and Baihu's "Hu"! We happen to have a special mission to complete tonight! And it's in Hong Kong!
"The Flying Tigers is such a great name!"
The name of the Hong Kong Island Flying Tigers, Liu Yifei, is indeed quite creative.
But Li Yitong ignored all of that and instead asked, "How did you know I was a tiger?"
"Don't misunderstand!" Liu Yifei quickly explained, "Just like you, I also tasted each other's flavor indirectly through the Taoist's spiritual root."
The Taoist priest told me about your situation.
Hearing this, Li Yitong breathed a sigh of relief.
She may be making jokes, but her sexual orientation is perfectly normal.
After the two women finished preparing, they went to a restaurant called CaIIQueen in Sheung Wan.
According to information provided by professionals at the studio, Benjamin Yuen is a regular customer at this restaurant, visiting several times a week.
The restaurant is located on the 11th floor of an old building that is currently under renovation.
Looking at the bamboo scaffolding on the building's exterior and the workers still working on it at night, Liu Yifei said, "Is this bamboo safe? I have a feeling the people up there might fall!"
Li Yitong, however, said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, this bamboo scaffolding is very safe, nothing will happen."
I've seen quite a few in Shenzhen, and I'm used to it.
Although the mainland began restricting the use of bamboo scaffolding many years ago, it has been difficult to stop the ban.
The removal of these items is also a process.
Li Yitong had seen many bamboo scaffoldings in her hometown and Guangdong. She had never witnessed any accidents with them, so she naturally felt that they were very safe.
Liu Yifei nodded, not paying any attention to the matter, and the two walked into the restaurant together.
Soon, they discovered that this restaurant was special; the customers were all couples, but they were all either men or women, and their behavior was extremely intimate, far beyond that of ordinary friends.
It's obvious that this is a gay restaurant.
After realizing this, Liu Yifei and Li Yitong were both very excited.
Because Benjamin Yuen was having dinner with a man in his twenties, and the two were behaving very intimately.
Isn't this a bombshell discovery?
To cover it up, Liu Yifei and Li Yitong even put their arms around each other's shoulders and acted very intimately, pretending to be a couple.
They just didn't realize that this restaurant was a gathering of elites today.
In addition to the professionals sent by Li Xue, there were also friends invited by Yuan Weihao who were secretly taking photos.
Actually, the person with Benjamin Yuen is John Woo's son, Ng Yip-Fong.
It was precisely because of this relationship that John Woo strongly recommended Benjamin Yuen to play the role of Sun Shucai.
But with Tong Dawei preceding him and Shen Gongbao following, Yuan Weihao has yet to land a role.
He felt he had been taken advantage of and that his efforts had not been rewarded, so he specifically asked a friend to take some photos as evidence to use to blackmail Wu Yusen.
After completing his assigned task, this friend noticed Liu Yifei.
The 06 version of The Return of the Condor Heroes achieved high ratings and positive reviews in Hong Kong, which is why Liu Yifei is quite popular there.
When this person saw Liu Yifei embracing a pure and beautiful woman in a gay restaurant, he immediately felt incredibly lucky!
This material could fetch a lot of money! He secretly took many photos.
So the next morning, the entertainment media in Hong Kong Island went wild.
[Liu Yifei, known for her ethereal beauty, is caught in a love triangle; she spends the night with another woman!]
[Fairy Sister Breaks Her Rules: Liu Yifei Passionately Kisses Li Yitong!]
[Little Dragon Girl's "heart is still red," is Yang Guo actually a girl?]
Snow in July? A woman's devoted love moves heaven and earth!
These reports all contain photos of Liu Yifei and Li Yitong behaving intimately, and the location of the photos is clearly a gay-themed restaurant.
In addition, Liu Yifei was dressed in a stunningly elegant and powerful style that night.
These factors combined led many people to believe the rumor.
Especially now that Ah Wei's information is still being spread, some people are getting extremely anxious.
Now that Liu Yifei has been exposed to this kind of news again, they immediately stepped in to fuel the fire and gave her a huge boost in publicity.
Soon, news headlines such as "Fairy Sister's Attack," "Fairy Sister's Cabinet," "Faye Wong is Just Like Her," and "Snow in July" spread from Hong Kong Island back to the mainland, sparking huge discussions.
That noon, Liu Yifei and Li Yitong flew back to Yanjing and went directly from the airport to the Chibi film crew.
Liu Yifei said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Taoist priest, we messed up!"
Shen Gongbao patted Liu Yifei's head and said with a smile, "You didn't mess it up. Didn't you find an important clue?"
Regarding the rumors, I've already spoken with Li Xue, and this is good for both of you.
Before Liu Yifei and Li Yitong went to complete the mission, Li Yitong gave them a "poisonous prediction," and Shen Gongbao knew that the mission would be fraught with difficulties.
I never expected that the two women would be the ones to be rumored to be dating.
This is beneficial to Liu Yifei.
Firstly, it can counter some false rumors circulating online. Secondly, the emergence of her "celestial beauty with a commanding presence" image will also help her attract more female fans.
For Li Yitong, the benefits are even greater.
After Li Yitong signed with Snow Leopard Studio, the studio released a statement, but it did not cause any stir.
This is why Hong Kong media knew her stage name.
It's still very difficult for a newcomer to become famous.
Li Yitong is now paired with Liu Yifei as a couple, which is to greatly absorb Liu Yifei's popularity and help boost her own popularity.
After all, the title "Little Liu Yifei" has always been very useful.
Instead of letting others attract attention, it's better to promote the artists in your own studio.
Of course, on the surface, Snow Leopard Studio still needs to issue a statement saying that Liu Yifei and Li Yitong are good friends, after all, it is necessary to respect public order and good customs in China.
The studio can secretly guide and manipulate the promotion of the "celestial beauty" persona and the "Fei Tong Yi Ban" couple.
After the scandal broke today, Shen Gongbao had already devised a plan and made all the necessary arrangements.
After hearing Shen Gongbao's explanation, Liu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief.
When she woke up this morning and saw all sorts of rumors, she thought she had messed up again, and she was very anxious on the plane this morning.
Unexpectedly, in Shen Gongbao's hands, the scandal turned into a good thing.
Liu Yifei immediately felt a great sense of security, as if no matter what mistakes she made, as long as Shen Gongbao was there, everything could be resolved.
