This scene depicts the confrontation between Crow and Chan Ho Nam as they bid for the "Everlasting Red."
The Everlasting Red is essentially a piece of red silk. While not particularly valuable, it symbolizes good fortune, representing the wish for prosperity to last from the beginning to the end of the year. In Hong Kong, many people, especially businessmen and triad members, deeply believe in feng shui.
To better embody Crow's character, Su Han cut his hair to match. The hair at the back of his head was shaved short, while the front was left long. His entire face was made up to look darker. He wore a thick chain around his neck, put on sunglasses, and adopted Crow's arrogant, defiant demeanor, acting as if he held no one in contempt. At this moment, Su Han seemed to be Crow himself.
Liu Wei Qiang observed with great satisfaction, nodding repeatedly. "You've really captured the feel." "You've got Crow's vibe." "Absolutely." "Alright, let's run through the scene, then we'll shoot." "Okay, Director."
Brother Shan Jai, Wong Yeung Sum, Tse Tin Wah, Chan Ho Nam, Lei Zi, and Su Han ran through the scene together. After the rehearsal, they were almost ready. The actors were prepared, and they would proceed directly to filming.
Inside the auction hall, the lights were dazzling, and the room was filled with guests. Chan Ho Nam, Little Mute, and Brother Shan Jai were already seated at the same table, awaiting the auction.
Just then, Crow made a delayed entrance. Su Han walked in with his head held high, chest out, sunglasses on, fully embodying Crow's arrogant, self-important, and defiant swagger. He sauntered in, perfectly capturing Crow's roguish, street-thug essence.
"Hey!" "Ah! Welcome, welcome!" "Come in, have a seat. Apologies for any inconvenience." The auctioneer greeted Su Han with a handshake and a warm welcome.
Su Han swaggered towards the table where Chan Ho Nam, Wong Yeung Sum, and the others were seated, calling out a greeting.
"Brother Nam!" he shouted, taking off his sunglasses and resting them on the table. He then looked at Lei Zi, who was sitting next to Chan Ho Nam. Lei Zi was as pure and beautiful as a lotus blooming in clear water, the kind of "white moonlight" that captivates all men.
"Is this your girl?" "She looks really hot!"
Chan Ho Nam, his expression unchanged, said grimly, "Shut up!"
Wong Yeung Sum, sitting beside Chan Ho Nam, chimed in with a tease, "Heh, Crow. You really are annoying." "I like you!" "Back then, my mouth was already foul enough, but I didn't expect yours to be even fouler." "From now on, you're the King of Bad Breath, and I'll be the gentleman."
Su Han paid no mind to the teasing, even smugly turning to show him his hair. "Am I as gentlemanly as you? Come on, look, you need to be open-minded and avant-garde like me." "Everyone knows you're the boss. I'm not, so that's that!" With that, Su Han turned and left.
Wong Yeung Sum watched Su Han's retreating back, still complaining. "Ah, if I cut my hair like that, I'd be finished." "You look like a jinx; whoever meets you is out of luck."
"Cut!" "This scene is finished!"
Su Han approached Liu Wei Qiang, asking humbly, "How was it, Director?" Liu Wei Qiang nodded. "Yes, it was excellent. You really captured Crow's essence. That arrogant swagger truly makes one want to punch you."
Chan Ho Nam, Brother Shan Jai, and Lei Zi also walked over, surrounding Su Han with smiles. Chan Ho Nam said, "You were so arrogant just now, really made me want to beat you up." Lei Zi exclaimed, "So scummy."
Su Han tilted his head. "Huh???" Lei Zi smiled broadly. "No, no, I mean you acted so scummy. It felt really spot on." Brother Shan Jai nodded vigorously. "Su Han, you've got something. You truly live up to being an Oscar-winning actor." "Thank you, thank you for all your compliments, seniors." Suddenly being showered with praise, Su Han humbly expressed his gratitude.
The film crew's staff were also conversing in hushed tones, all captivated by Su Han's acting. "I didn't expect Su Han to have such strong shaping ability. He usually appears so well-mannered, but his portrayal of Crow is seamless, as if it were him in real life." "Oscar-winning actor, that's not just talk." "Su Han is truly amazing when it comes to shaping characters, really powerful." "The key is that the Crow you played is so arrogant, it really makes people angry." "He is a bit arrogant."
"Alright!" "Let's shoot the next scene!" They proceeded to film the next scene. The content of the next scene was the bidding for the Everlasting Red between Crow and Chan Ho Nam.
With Liu Wei Qiang's call of "Action," everyone in the crew entered filming mode. "Next, this tribute item is extraordinary." "Everyone, listen closely!" "Because the current tribute item is..." "The Everlasting Red!!!" "Whoa~~~" A wave of cheers erupted from everyone present. Everyone was jubilant. Especially Chan Ho Nam and his group, they had come for this very Everlasting Red.
However, Su Han, seated at the table, had already set his sights on it. "The starting bid for the Everlasting Red tonight is sixteen thousand eight hundred!" "Sixteen thousand eight hundred, is anyone bidding sixteen thousand eight hundred?!"
