This movie star is absolutely wicked!

Chapter 26, Beneath the Datong Grottoes, there are 3 Buddhas.

When Li Yun emerged, his expression could almost be described as solemn, with a calm and compassionate gaze...

Barefoot, filthy hair, and those eyes...

Completely immersed in the role.

Acting skills, simulation, immersion—completely immersing oneself in the character of Sun Guo.

Li Yun took a deep breath and focused wholeheartedly on completing the task... Even with the system, he would still dedicate himself to it.

Go and "finish" this seemingly ignored... villain.

Now I am the cause, I am the result.

I am cause and effect.

At this moment, the makeup artist has a kind of illusion from his perspective. What he sees is not the villain, but compassion, mercy, and redemption.

"Alright, you can use the dressing room."

At this moment, Zhang Baizhi, who had just finished her makeup, came out of the dressing room, ready to go shopping. Just as she came out, she met Li Yun's gaze.

A man covered in dirt and mud, dressed in rags, looking disheveled.

But his eyes.

Right.

Zhang Baizhi, at this moment.

I was really startled.

She was so frightened that her face turned pale.

you.

How did they let the murderer in?

He's going to kill me!

……

"Why is it so slow over there...?"

At this moment, Johnnie To glanced at the Rolex on his wrist and frowned: "What's the makeup team doing? Why isn't Sun Guo's makeup and styling finished yet? Is it that difficult?"

For a moment, he wondered if this newcomer was also acting like a diva.

But thinking about it, it's unlikely.

This doesn't make sense... It's common for people who suddenly become successful to act arrogantly, but where does this newcomer get the right to suddenly become successful?

Sure enough, the production crew said that someone was occupying the dressing room.

He guessed who it was in just one second.

"I must file a complaint against this person. He is so rude and unprofessional. I will never work with him again. I'm going to call Xiang Qianghua."

However, at this moment, the production assistant said something else.

I heard the actors handled their own makeup.

The actors handled it themselves? Johnnie To was stunned, and Wai Ka-fai was also stunned.

It's not uncommon for actors to do their own makeup.

But does it fit the production team's character design standards?

"Well, at least he knows how to find a solution, so his attitude is not bad."

Johnnie To never thought the blame could be placed on the new actor.

Now, a slight feeling of goodwill has even arisen between them.

Johnnie To is also a man of strong emotions.

"This guy from mainland China has a good attitude. If the results are good, I'll let him play a minor role for me. Even if he's not very good, having him on set will make things much better."

Wai Ka-fai also sighed.

"It's mainly because there's Zhang Baizhi as a foil that makes you feel like you have attitude, which is actually a pretty good thing."

Just as they were about to express their feelings.

Zhang Baizhi ran over.

She ran over while crying.

Someone deliberately scared her. Before the two directors could figure out what was going on, they saw the person covered in mud and filth who had come out of the mud.

Hong Kong is a place where all sorts of people come from different walks of life.

Johnnie To used to make gangster movies.

Back when movies were being filmed in Hong Kong, the makeup was incredibly elaborate, sometimes involving real blood and even actual injuries.

He could tell that the mud, dirt, and tattered clothes on the young man walking towards him were not the result of makeup.

He got it by rolling around in the mud himself.

He hadn't even had time to be shocked.

Then we met his eyes.

Calmness, Buddha-nature, compassion.

But beneath these emotions lies a certain feeling.

anger.

That's why Zhang Baizhi cried and said someone wanted to kill her.

At this moment, Li Yun could only smile helplessly.

"Director, this is a misunderstanding."

"I know."

Johnnie To looked at Li Yun, carefully examined him for a moment, and then said, "Then, let's start filming."

There's no need to ask Li Yun if he's ready.

If a director can't even see this, what kind of director are they?

The person in front of me is visibly in great shape.

……

When Andy Lau entered the film set.

They were quite serious about it.

You could say that all the action is centered around him.

Although the confrontation with Sun Guo only takes a few shots, these are the most essential, climax, and condensed shots in the film.

Confront your inner demons.

Transform all the anger, entanglement, and emotions from the previous stage into the most peaceful letting go.

He was ready.

Confront your inner demons, embrace them, and let them go.

When is the time for retribution.

Lay down the butcher's knife and you can instantly become a Buddha.

However, at this moment...

When the camera started rolling.

Below the Datong Grottoes.

He then saw the young man walking onto the film set.

Just like in the script, he was covered in dirt, disheveled, and dressed in rags, looking extremely wretched.

Next.

I will embrace him, I will give up hatred, I will become a Buddha.

The ideas being conveyed.

The idea of ​​"laying down the butcher's knife and instantly becoming a Buddha" (referring to the idea of ​​enlightenment through laydown

At this moment, Andy Lau felt a sense of unease, a worry that he might lose control of his emotions and gaze, and the scene would be overshadowed.

It pressed down on the young man, who couldn't catch it.

But that's the problem.

Feelings are not something that can be easily dispersed and then brought back.

He really likes his current state.

As an actor.

Completely understand the character.

To fully understand oneself.

Completely immersed in the script.

Isn't this a great kind of happiness?

Isn't that a kind of...happiness?

And now, he is immersed in this joy, immersed in this feeling that might cause trouble for his co-stars.

At this point, he was ready to face the challenge.

Johnnie To said, if possible.

I hope to film this scene at sunrise.

The sun, a Buddha statue, and a monk.

Capture these elements in the shot.

There's been a slight delay, but if we could get it right in one take, we definitely would have time to film this scene.

It does.

At this moment, Liu Dehua opened his eyes and watched his opponent walk in. It was a handsome face that even the mud couldn't hide, with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and distinct features.

My first impression was that he was very handsome.

Second impression.

It was in this person's eyes.

Is this the look of a serial killer?

How can you be more compassionate than me?

But faced with those incredibly compassionate eyes...

He just couldn't see that it was a mistake.

There is something absolutely incredible about it.

mercy.

kill.

confusion.

His eyes and emotions conveyed this contradiction.

But upon closer reflection, it makes perfect sense that Sun Guo is a madman.

At least, these emotions combined are reasonable for a madman.

But within these emotions...

Why is madness the only thing missing?

Why has compassion emerged?

For an instant.

Liu Dehua felt that he had caused the problem, so he thought a lot about it.

Then the answer was found.

I am Buddha.

He is Buddha.

The sun was just beginning to rise.

Johnnie To didn't dare to breathe loudly, just staring intently at the camera, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

Inside the camera lens.

The Buddhas in the Datong Grottoes, the Buddha of Liaoyin, and the Buddha of Sun Guo.

Three Buddhas under the sun.
