This movie star is absolutely wicked!

Chapter 25, The Buddha Emerging from the Mud

Why should we let go?

at this time.

Li Yun opened his eyes again and looked at the ancient Buddha and the dim lamp in front of him.

He became a monk, spending his days facing the dim light of a lamp and eating vegetarian food, accompanied by the giant Buddha statue.

Retire from the world.

With only the dim light of the lamp and the ancient Buddha as companions, I remain indifferent to worldly causes and effects.

Even simple meals can bring joy.

This place is filled with great joy.

Here, amidst the ancient lamp and Buddha statue.

There was no hostility in him.

Unfortunately, the Buddhist sect had eyes.

It endowed me with the ability to see cause and effect, and I can see people's past lives.

I asked the abbot.

What is cause and effect?

The abbot said, "Every cause has its effect; good causes yield good results, and bad causes yield bad results. This is the so-called cycle of cause and effect..."

How amazing, Abbot! Your past life was a cat...

I became curious.

I can see the cause and effect of all things in the world. I don't know what to do with this ability. I only know that I am very curious right now.

But I also saw many other things.

Many things that displease me.

I saw it.

I saw my childhood sweetheart, Xiao Cui. She died in the fields, her death was gruesome. I could see her karma. In her previous life, she was a general who killed countless people, so she had this sin in this life.

But today she is charitable and does good deeds, so why did she end up like this?

I couldn't understand this cause and effect, so I went down the mountain.

I am Liaoyin.

I don't understand why someone who has never done anything wrong should suffer retribution.

but.

I am also Sun Guo.

I can see the effect within cause and effect.

One can see the karmic consequences of cause and effect and sin.

The brutal general slaughtered innocent civilians, and the colonel wielding a Japanese sword competed with his fellow invaders to see who could cut off the most civilian heads. Many of them even died peacefully and did not suffer any karmic retribution.

Kind people do not receive good results because they did evil in their past lives.

Those who commit evil deeds do not suffer evil consequences because they did not commit evil in their previous lives.

Cause is effect.

You say this cycle of revenge will never end?

I say.

Good and evil will be rewarded accordingly!

No, I won't report it.

Every cause has its effect; I am the effect, I am the retribution, I am the killer!

"Sun Guo, simulation complete, consuming a total of 20 points of positive energy."

"Perfect performance requires acting skills level 3."

...

"I'm ready..."

At this point, Andy Lau was ready. His previous review of the script and research into Buddhist scriptures were all laying the groundwork for the final scene.

"From anger to relief, then to letting go of hatred, using love and words to influence Sun Guo, and finally completing the script and achieving redemption, this work has a very positive outlook."

At this moment, Andy Lau's assistant exclaimed that the arc of light in the work, as well as the philosophical message at the end, were all exceptionally well done.

"Perhaps. After all, if hatred gets spiraling out of control, it will never end. Buddhist teachings advise us to let go. Anyway, this is the script, and this is what the Buddhist scriptures want to express."

At this moment, Andy Lau put on a 27-kilogram muscle suit, which he wore to correspond with the Buddha statue.

It's safe to say that my understanding of the script and the character won't change much.

Although he didn't know what was wrong, Andy Lau didn't think much of it, since it was almost over anyway.

He saw through Li Fengyi and Zhang Baizhi very clearly.

Liu Dehua doesn't dislike Li Fengyi. She's a passionate policewoman who loves life, is full of enthusiasm, and is always willing to help others.

At this moment, Andy Lau was feeling his own emotions.

From the climax of anger, to calm.

"Mr. Sun Guo can come out now. I've managed to calm myself down."

"Don't be too good. I heard that person is just an extra. He might not be able to keep up with your performance and we'll have to make you do it all over again."

"I will take care of newcomers. As long as it's not a problem with their attitude, I'm very tolerant."

Andy Lau smiled slightly, having heard that a new actor was coming to play the role.

He didn't have much of an opinion about casting a newcomer as Sun Guo, after all, he had been a newcomer himself and knew how difficult it was to mentor newcomers.

He even had to thank that newcomer; if it weren't for someone else playing Sun Guo, he would have ended up playing the villain.

To be honest, playing villains isn't the problem; he just doesn't like playing bad guys, or rather, a villain without any charisma wouldn't help him in the future.

Sun Guo is just like that, a villain with absolutely no charisma.

"Your attitude is the problem; it seems you really dislike Cecilia Cheung."

When asked about his assistant's words, Andy Lau remained noncommittal. There were some things he couldn't say, but everyone understood.

At this moment, Andy Lau looked at the dressing room not far from the film crew and touched his chin.

"By the way, why isn't their makeup done yet? I'm already dressed up with my muscle makeup."

……

"Ms. Zhang, are you done yet? Our crew needs to use the dressing room."

Makeup artist Xiao Chen was very anxious.

The only dressing room was occupied, but it was time to film, and they were urging him to hurry. He was anxious, but Cecilia Cheung in the dressing room was not in a hurry at all.

"I'm just using the dressing room for a bit. Why are you rushing me? The more you rush me, the worse my makeup will be. Xiao Zhang, ignore him, just keep doing my makeup."

At this moment, Zhang Baizhi sat in the dressing room with a frown on her face.

The film crew's makeup is nothing compared to my shopping trip.

Makeup artist Xiao Chen was both anxious and angry.

"Why are you like this? This is putting us in a difficult position."

Zhang Baizhi ignored this and occupied the film crew's dressing room to do her makeup.

"You can just do a quick makeup job outside, it's just a beggar's makeup, and it's only for a few shots, why are you taking it so seriously?"

...

"Sorry, we'll have to do our makeup outside."

At this moment, the makeup artist looked at Li Yun with some guilt, because the junior makeup artist couldn't go against the "big star".

She was just a makeup artist; she dared not offend the film crew, much less the big stars. Offending either of them would have brought her no good.

"It's okay, I understand. Everyone has their own difficulties."

Makeup artist Xiao Chen was so moved she almost cried, and Li Yun was completely flustered.

Positive energy +2

Wow, just showing some compassion for working people can boost positive energy.

At this moment, Li Yun also closed his eyes.

Substitute Sun Guo into the character.

"...I'll do my own makeup."

Then, to the makeup artist's astonishment, Li Yun put on the smelly beggar's clothes and rolled around in the mud next to him. Without needing makeup, he naturally transformed from the mud into a disheveled and dusty figure.

A murderer covered in mud, who had been on the run for 18 years.

A serial killer who has accumulated the hatred of the entire protagonist in the script, and then goes on to destroy the woman he has feelings for.

Covering his face with mud, Li Yun knelt on one knee, facing the rising sun in the east.

Then open your arms.

The entire makeup team remained calm.

An eerie calm.

Because they saw it.

A scene they will never forget.

What is this?

This is a Buddha statue.

A Buddha who emerged from the mud and filth.
