Liu Xiao Li took this notification very seriously, as could be seen from the way she separated it from the other scripts.
Initially
Luo Yun Chu was a little confused, wondering why Hong Kong would invite him. He didn't have much fame, did he?
Later, his aunt explained, and he understood.
It was another cameo role. The director had seen his MV by chance and decided to cast him.
While not many people in Hong Kong listened to Mandarin music, there were still some.
Sales in Taipei were even higher than in Hong Kong.
However
Video rental stores stocked the MV, and the director of a particular crew happened to see it. It wasn't anything strange.
Many actors initially spread their image and fame through various jobs, hoping to catch a director's eye someday.
“Aunt, what's the movie called?”
He was still curious, just like what he saw in 2002.
Only one movie, Infernal Affairs, was released in Hong Kong that year.
It was considered a savior of Hong Kong films.
Not that it was the only one, but it was the only one that could support the box office.
Besides, what made him worth noticing? Don't tell me it's his singing.
Liu Xiao Li spoke earnestly.
“Don't underestimate this small supporting role. It's not easy to even get a cameo in this movie.”
“Do you know who else has a cameo in this movie?”
She didn't reveal it directly, but gave him a riddle.
This finally sparked Luo Yun Chu's curiosity. He walked over, took Liu Xiao Li's hand, and held it.
“Aunt, please tell me.”
Liu Xiao Li remained expressionless on the surface, but her heart swelled with joy. She still enjoyed this kind of physical contact, even just holding Yun Chu's hand.
“The movie is called Gen-X Cops. The cameo is your childhood idol, Jackie Chan. Such a big name is just a cameo, and you're only a small supporting role.”
She didn't mention why they chose Luo Yun Chu.
It wasn't for his singing, but for his looks, which were perfect for playing a beautiful vampire.
Luo Yun Chu had several answers, but Gen-X Cops wasn't one of them.
This movie could be considered a masterpiece, directed by Benny Chan, a top-tier director.
Like his later works, Operation Red Sea, The 湄公河行动 (Mekong River Operation), and The Rescue, were all directed by him.
However, his favorite was the gangster film, The Avenging Son, which he shot in 2000.
As for Gen-X Cops' cast, it was even more impressive.
Considering the main cast of this movie, being a small supporting role felt like a good opportunity for him.
The lead was Edison Chen, alongside Nicholas Tse, who broke through the siege of the Four Heavenly Kings.
And the two beauties dubbed by Hong Kong media as "Twin Fairies" - Gillian Chung and Charlene Choi, nicknamed Ah S and Ah Jiao.
These stars were all top-tier in their time.
Anyone who liked Hong Kong movies would know them and have seen their movies, multiple times.
Back then, many people learned about the concept of "bad boy chic" from the vampire in Gen-X Cops, and found out the actor was Edison Chen.
“Aunt, I'll accept it. It's like a trip to Hong Kong.”
He could only watch them through a screen before, but now he had the chance to go there and even be a part of it. It seemed quite fun?
I wonder if Gen-X Cops will meet the requirements of the panel?
Liu Xiao Li only shared the screened information with Luo Yun Chu. She then turned her attention to the second one.
“This is the Chinese Paladin: Sword and Fairy you've been asking me to look out for. I heard they're adapting it from a game into a TV series. The story is great. I didn't expect Yun Chu to have such good taste.”
“The adaptation rights were bought by Tangren Media. They should be starting filming in a few months.”
“I think the roles of Lin Yueru and Li Xiaoyao are perfect for you and Xi Xi. I'll take you both to audition later.”
Her words carried a confidence that seemed to suggest the roles were already decided.
“I'll listen to you, Aunt.”
Luo Yun Chu truly felt inseparable from Liu Xiao Li. This feeling of everything being arranged.
He only needed to execute the plan. It felt so good.
He even wanted to kiss his aunt and relive the fullness of that night.
Liu Xiao Li, always decisive, started arranging the trip that night.
She directly took a long leave from the Beijing Film Academy.
Liu Yi Fei complained that her mother favored him and didn't take her along. She thought classes were pointless, the teachers didn't teach much.
She couldn't even go and see, it was unfair.
The next day.
Luo Yun Chu followed behind Liu Xiao Li, waving goodbye under Xi Xi's resentful gaze.
He then embarked on this journey to Hong Kong.
