Half an hour later.
Yu Zhiwen returned with Chen Feng.
As soon as the private room door opened, Chen Feng was seen wearing a top hat, a suit, a tie, and a cigarette in his mouth.
A roguish smile hung on his face.
Everyone was stunned at the same time.
They were surprised that he could get a costume in such a short time.
At the same time, Yu Zhiwen had also changed her outfit.
It was the look of Feng Chengcheng from the Chow Yun-fat version of Shanghai Bund.
Two braided pigtails and a Western-style dress.
She had styled her own hair.
Her rosy cheeks glowed.
She walked in, arm in arm with Chen Feng, and smiled gently at everyone.
It really looked the part.
After the two entered the private room, another person appeared at the door.
Dressed as Ding Li.
With a fake mustache.
His face was cold.
He leaned against the doorframe, his gaze fixed on everyone in the room.
It was Lin Zu.
Although Xing Ye and the others didn't know Lin Zu, they knew this must be Chen Feng's crew, probably summoned with a single phone call.
And he brought the costumes with him.
Quite efficient.
Regardless of how the role was interpreted, Chen Feng's attitude alone satisfied Wang Jing and Xing Ye.
After entering the private room.
Chen Feng politely took off his top hat, revealing his temporarily styled slicked-back hair, and smiled slightly at Xing Ye: "Good afternoon, everyone."
Yu Jiadong immediately applauded: "Good, very fitting."
Wang Jing also chuckled and nodded: "That's got some flair."
But Xing Ye didn't speak.
And he was very serious.
He had been observing Chen Feng.
The external makeup technique wasn't the feeling he wanted; he needed the temperament.
Xing Ye also knew that simply having Chen Feng make an appearance might not yield the desired result, but he was full of anticipation.
Mainly, Chen Feng's various performances in variety shows had filled him with anticipation.
At this moment, Chen Feng's expression suddenly turned serious, his eyes filled with determination, and he stared at Xing Ye, saying word by word: "Although I'm not a good person, I will choose to be a Chinese!"
This line was Xu Wenqiang's classic dialogue.
After he finished the line, the room immediately fell silent.
And Xing Ye's eyes lit up.
Rare!
This Chen Feng, without anyone to act with, without a scene, without an atmosphere, immersed himself in it and abruptly changed his emotions.
How did he do that?
His eyes and temperament now were completely different from when he first entered.
Xing Ye saw the trick.
Just then, Chen Feng's eyes changed again, still looking at Xing Ye, his gaze weathered and resolute: "Old man, life and death are fated, I'm very open to that."
Another classic line.
At this moment, even an outsider like Yu Jiadong felt a sense of immersion.
Because Chen Feng's eyes were so expressive.
It was nothing like the awkward pretense of others during live auditions.
Yu Zhiwen, beside Chen Feng, even looked at him with a dazed expression, showing Feng Chengcheng's admiration for Xu Wenqiang without even trying to act.
Xing Ye became energized.
His eyes widened.
He hoped Chen Feng could transform one more time.
Just one more time would be enough.
Indeed, Chen Feng did not disappoint him; his expression changed again, and his eyes once again broke through their limit, revealing an aura of dominance and a heroic spirit.
"When one acts, sometimes one cannot be too sharp, otherwise, one will invite trouble."
As he said this, the killing intent in his eyes, fixed on Xing Ye, was palpable, as if it had substance.
Everyone present got goosebumps.
Which of these Hong Kong people hadn't experienced the dark and chaotic era of the seventies and eighties? Who hadn't seen real triad bosses?
They even had personal experiences, having been threatened.
So, looking at Chen Feng, they had a momentary illusion that his warning might be sincere.
Seeing this, Xing Ye could no longer restrain himself and stood up directly to applaud: "Good, very good."
Wang Jing, beside him, secretly clicked his tongue.
Having known Xing Ye for a long time, he rarely saw him praise someone so unreservedly.
It seemed he approved of Chen Feng's acting skills.
At this point, Chen Feng also knew when to stop, timely withdrawing from the role, and the feeling on him vanished instantly without a trace.
He was like a completely different person in an instant.
This skill alone was astonishing.
Chen Feng smiled and called Lin Zu, who was at the door, inside, and introduced him to the big figures from Hong Kong, also explaining his crew.
Xing Ye and Wang Jing perfunctorily shook hands and exchanged pleasantries, and that was it.
Lin Zu, however, was very excited.
To see these two in person, and even shake hands and get acquainted, was already an achievement.
This was all thanks to Chen Feng.
After everyone sat down again.
Xing Ye nodded sincerely and said: "Mr. Chen's... this ability, it astounds me. Truly, to make me feel immersed in this situation, I admire it greatly."
"Xing Ye, you flatter me."
Chen Feng quickly showed humility: "I still have a lot to learn. Actually, Xing Ye's film style has always been one I particularly enjoy. Really, I've loved watching them since I was a child."
"Then... which one do you like?"
Xing Ye asked with a smile.
"Royal Tramp."
Chen Feng blurted out without thinking: "That adaptation of Royal Tramp was simply brilliant, and I feel it's the pinnacle of Xing Ye's nonsensical film style."
"Wei Xiaobao, right?"
Xing Ye nodded: "You asked me about films with a significant contrast earlier. Actually, for me, the character Wei Xiaobao is the image with the biggest contrast. The Wei Xiaobao in the play and the me in real life can be said to have no common characteristics at all."
"I think so too."
Chen Feng chuckled: "Actually, I've never tried this kind of role either. So if you, Xing Ye, have a super nonsensical character like that, could you consider me?"
Xing Ye pondered for a moment, then said: "I've seen all your live performances, and indeed, I haven't seen this type of character. The question is, do you think you can make that kind of breakthrough?"
"Yes."
Chen Feng said without hesitation.
"Then..."
Xing Ye suddenly smiled: "Can you, right here, imitate the image of Wei Xiaobao from my Royal Tramp? Just one scene will do."
Chen Feng was immediately delighted.
The notification sound also rang in his mind again.
【Ding, detecting the host's upcoming target character 'Wei Xiaobao'. Congratulations to the host for becoming a true great slicker, great scoundrel, great rogue, great pimp.】
【Congratulations to the host for obtaining the honor 'Duke of Deer and Cauldron of the Great Qing'. Granting the host a treasure vault at the origin of the Qing imperial dragon vein, and a treasure map.】
【Congratulations to the host for obtaining the honor 'Pimp of the House of Delights'. Granting the host the inheritance of the Orchid Gate among the Outer Eight Sects, and a hint to the whereabouts of the Orchid Gate's token, the 'ink jade orchid'.】
【Congratulations to the host for obtaining the honor 'Heaven and Earth Society Chief'. Granting the host the Hongmen token, which evolved from the Heaven and Earth Society, giving control over all Hongmen descendant triad gangs.】
【Congratulations to the host for obtaining the honor 'Polygamy'. Granting the host seven marriage contracts. Any name listed on the marriage contract, with a thumbprint, shall remain together for life, a mandatory soul contract.】
This series of notification sounds stunned Chen Feng.
Experiencing Wei Xiaobao for a bit actually gave him so many benefits?
Dragon vein treasures, Hongmen tokens, and even a 'Polygamy' honor, plus seven mandatory marriage contracts?
I'm so...
Thrilled!
