Then he took out a few bound sheets of paper from his briefcase and casually handed them to Chan Kong-sang, saying, "No. You're going to act in this. I'll write a movie script tailored just for you, 'Snake in the Eagle's Shadow.' There's a key scene in it, and I've already written it out. You guys can try it out first."
Tailor-made?!
The screenplay was written by Kobayashi himself?
Luo Wei and Chen Gangsheng stared wide-eyed at Lin Huowang in disbelief.
So Kobayashi was writing a script when he left?
Was it written specifically for Chan Kong-sang?
What a surprise and honor this is!
This is Kobayashi Isamu!
Kobayashi Sang, a top tycoon whose every stomp of his foot can shake the entire island of Hong Kong!
He's a big shot who manages so many large companies and groups, and probably earns hundreds of thousands a minute.
He actually lowered himself to write a movie script for a struggling actor like himself?
Wow!
Chan Kong-sang was so excited that his hands were almost trembling as he took the script. He felt that the ink on the paper was still wet, and it was indeed written by Kobayashi Sang on the spot.
The two immediately huddled together and eagerly began to study the document.
After reading just one page, Chan Kong-sang's eyes immediately lit up in astonishing terms!
This script...this character!
The action design is comical yet full of ingenuity, exuding the humor of a down-on-his-luck but stubborn ordinary person. It's a perfect match for his usual acrobatic kung fu and exaggerated expressions!
Chan Kong-sang could hardly believe that the high and mighty tycoon Kobayashi Tenno was actually the one who understood him best.
Those performance styles that others might consider "unorthodox" became indispensable highlights in the script that Kobayashi wrote for himself!
"Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!"
Luo Wei couldn't help but slap his thigh as he watched.
As a director, he instantly grasped the unique charm of the script.
It can be said that it has completely swept away the dull routine of his past films, and instead is full of fresh vitality and market potential.
More importantly, this type of martial arts action film was completely unprecedented in Hong Kong cinema.
But there is no doubt that as long as it is filmed according to the script, coupled with Chan Kong-sang's action performance that perfectly matches the character, the effect will definitely not be bad.
"This restaurant scene is full of conflict, laughs, and has a lot of room for action choreography!"
As Lin Huowang spoke, he pointed to a newly set up antique-style restaurant next to him, which had not yet been decorated with details, and said, "This is the one. The location is ready, and the props... we'll just find some usable ones to make do."
Chan Kong-sang and Lo Wai did not hesitate, nor did they need to hesitate at all.
On the contrary, the two of them were incredibly excited, their bodies were bursting with energy, and they were itching to try it out.
The immense gratitude for being given this opportunity and the excitement brought by the script instantly put Lo Wei and Chan Kong-sang into the mood for filming on set.
Neither of them are novices; on the contrary, they are very mature and experienced directors and actors.
Luo Wei immediately transformed into the on-site director, instructing the staff present to move tables and chairs to simulate the restaurant environment in the script.
Chan Kong-sang memorized his lines in no time and became completely immersed in the role, moving his hands and feet while reading the script and muttering to himself.
Soon, the scene was set up, the cameras were in place, and Chan Kong-sang and several supporting actors had all become familiar with the script.
"Action!"
Luo Wei shouted, and although the director's arrival was very rushed this time, his professionalism had returned.
The camera immediately focused on Chan Kong-sang.
He plays "Jian Fu," a simple-minded but surprisingly skilled young man who is currently being surrounded by a group of thugs in a dilapidated restaurant.
"Kid, you dare meddle in my business? You're asking for trouble!"
A supporting character, temporarily playing the villain, roared in a vicious voice.
"I...I just saw injustice and did something wrong!"
Chen Gangsheng shrank his neck, his eyes filled with a hint of timidity as he spoke.
But at that moment, his body subconsciously adopted a comical defensive posture, which made people laugh, somewhat like a startled monkey about to scratch someone.
"Hit him!" the thug shouted.
When the crowd gathered around, Chan Kong-sang instantly "came to life"!
Completely different from the kung fu and martial arts films that are popular now, the fight scene in this movie is not a hard-hitting battle at all. Instead, Chan Kong-sang is as slippery as an eel.
He seemed to be dodging awkwardly, but his body moved through the narrow space between the tables and chairs with incredible flexibility and balance.
This is typical of Jackie Chan-style kung fu comedy, where any scene or prop can become part of the fight.
A thug lunged at him, and he seemed to slip and fall, but he ended up tripping the other man instead.
This comical scene immediately caused the staff watching to burst into laughter.
Upon seeing this, Lü Ruirong and Liu Rumeng's eyes lit up, and suddenly they had a more concrete understanding of Lin Huowang's analysis.
Looking at the filming location again, another thug picked up a stool and smashed it down, causing Chan Kong-sang to panic and run away with his head in his hands.
His body seemed to be equipped with springs; he crouched down and rolled to dodge, then grabbed the chopstick holder from the table and smashed it over the other person's head with a clatter, covering the other person's face in flour.
Oh no! My noodles!
