Chapter 139: Trick Wang Jing

Wu Changyun's individual works have good box office results, but Golden Harvest is full of talented people and can produce more than a dozen or even dozens of films a year. If you really calculate it, it may not even reach one-third.

"What do you think? Do you have any ideas?" Wang Tianlin felt that this was an opportunity. If Wu Changyun was willing to support other directors, then his son had indeed caught a good opportunity.

Seeing Wang Tianlin's serious expression, Wu Changyun also realized that the other party had other plans and seemed to be planning to pave the way for his son.

For an old artist like Wang Tianlin, his son will be supported in whatever he wants to do. In the industry, except for some very outstanding directors who will be discovered actively, the rest are mostly recommended like this.

Wu Changyun belongs to the very small group that can produce particularly excellent works.

"Tell your son to come directly to me at the company. I will provide him with the best environment, free of charge."

Wu Changyun said with a smile that it was a good thing to get an apprentice version of Wang Jing for free, just like Du Qifeng. If he could stay in the company, he would be another capable employee.

Wu Changyun didn't understand Wang Jing's personality, he just thought he was a very frank person.

"Are you serious? You really don't need my help?"

Wang Tianlin asked again and again in surprise, "Is there such a good thing in the world? I don't need to help and she can take care of her son."

"Brother, you are surprisingly nice."

“It’s just so-so.”

Wu Changyun smiled bitterly. In his opinion, Wang Tianlin was selling his son.

A few days later, Wang Jing reported to the company. When he met Wang Jing for the first time, Wu Changyun just thought that this guy looked ordinary, or even ordinary as could not be more ordinary, just like your third uncle who suddenly comes in when you visit relatives.

But Wang Jing is not that old yet.

"You must be Director Wu, right? I often hear my father mention you." Wang Jing looked around. This place was completely different from what he had imagined. He had been in contact with TVB and Shaw Brothers for many years. In comparison, Wu Changyun's place was just a small workshop.

But it's outrageous that such a workshop could get the top spot at the box office.

"Director Wu, there are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers here."

"Ha, you mean my place is too small."

"It's not necessary for a film production company to need that kind of space."

Wu Changyun looked back at Wang Jing. This guy actually knows how to say New Year's greetings.

Wang Jing was also carrying a large suitcase, which was also Wu Changyun's requirement. Those who come to study should have a learning attitude. Wu Changyun didn't want Wang Jing to be surrounded by people from various industries after returning home every day, which would be detrimental to his studies.

Wang Tianlin certainly accepted Wu Changyun's request with pleasure. Someone was willing to support his son so carefully. Wang Tianlin wanted to become sworn brothers with Wu Changyun regardless of their age difference.

In fact, Wang Tianlin is exactly 50 years old today, more than two generations older than Wu Changyun.

"Then where do I live?"

Wang Jing looked towards other offices along the way and unexpectedly saw Zhou Huiting. He thought that this girl had a pure appearance, but lacked something more refined. She was not completely out of touch with the crowd, otherwise she would also be a beauty.

"You can stay at my house for the time being. I have other spare rooms at home. I will pick you up in the evening."

Wu Changyun really intends to keep Wang Jing. The movies made by this guy can basically be summarized as "vulgar", but they are funny and will bring joy to the audience.

"Is it appropriate for me to live in your house?"

Wang Jing looked at Wu Changyun with a smirk on his face. Which director doesn't have some female celebrities hanging around at home?

"What's the point of talking about whether it's suitable or not? Just learn from me and don't think about anything else." Wu Changyun patted Wang Jing on the back. This little brother must be disciplined.

Your father has agreed to hand you over to me.

Recently on the set, Wang Jing was responsible for sitting next to the video recorder. At first, Wang Jing felt it was very boring. What could he learn by sitting next to it?

He couldn't see what was being filmed in the camera, but gradually, Wang Jing began to admire him. He had always been influenced by his father and adhered to the idea of only focusing on the market.

Wu Changyun pays more attention to integrity, especially since he shoots masterpieces, so he puts a lot of effort into how to present the visual effects.

Wu Changyun often holds a video camera and imitates the shots in movies he has seen in the past, so as to accurately grasp the frame, composition and light and dark relationships.

At the same time, Wu Changyun also studied color science. Because he had seen many works of big names before, Wu Changyun was also familiar with some special tonal effects.

After a few days, Wang Jing gradually began to admire him.

After a day of work, Wang Jing found Wu Changyun as soon as he finished work. This was their exclusive time for a chat after get off work.

That day, the two of them sat on the steps as usual, watching other people pass by them and took the initiative to greet Director Wu.

Wu Changyun actually wanted to avoid Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia. A few days ago, as soon as Zhao Yazhi finished work, she rushed to Wu Changyun, and then ran into Lin Qingxia who was asking Wu Changyun to have dinner with her.

The scene was very awkward for a while. Since that day, Wu Changyun would always drag Wang Jing along after work.

"How is it? Am I qualified to be your master?"

"Don't even mention Master, even Master has his due."

Wang Jing somewhat admires Wu Changyun's straightforwardness and shamelessness.

"After these few days, I have come to understand that I cannot learn what you have. You are different from my father. Your work is difficult to copy." Wang Jing has a very sensitive sense. There are some things that he can understand at a glance and can achieve with hard work.

What Wu Changyun did gave him a feeling that even if he could understand it, he couldn't grasp it.

Thinking of Du Qifeng, Wang Jing recently went to see the latest movies released by Qi Ji Film Company. Even after four years of working together, Du Qifeng's shooting techniques are completely different from what Wu Changyun is showing now.

Wang Jing complained in his mind: "The person you taught for four years is completely different from you. I can't tell a damn thing from sitting next to him."

Wu Changyun's heart was as clear as a mirror. He really couldn't change Wang Jing.

"I'll introduce you to someone. If you work with him, you'll be very successful in the future."

"Who is it?"

"Zhou Runfa."

Instead of waiting for Wang Jing to conceive the movie "God of Gamblers", it is better to give him an idea now. He is still under his own company. If he really waits until the future, it will be hard to say.

It was originally Wang Jing's own script, and Wu Changyun sold it to Wang Jing as a favor. This deal can be described in one word: "amazing".

When Wang Jing heard that it was one of the most popular male actors today, Chow Yun-fat, he immediately became interested, but he didn't quite believe that Wu Changyun would give his top star to him to make a movie.

"Really? Are you willing to leave it to me?"

"Don't worry, not only that, I'll also give you a script."
