Chapter 101: Harvesting Chow Yun-fat and Wu Mengda



It was time to end the get out of class again. Wu Changyun looked at his watch. He had handed the script to Zhou Runfa in the morning. The other party had been concentrating on reading the script during class just now. He wondered what he was thinking now.

"I'm going to be the lead actor right after my debut, and the script is tailor-made for me. I shouldn't refuse it, right?" Wu Changyun thought to himself, but it was time to get out of class, and it was not convenient for him to stay any longer.

During the break, Wu Mengda was invited to the corridor outside the teacher's office, where Wu Changyun had been waiting for a long time.

"Teacher, you called me?"

"Yes." Wu Changyun couldn't help but smiled.

He had never paid much attention to Wu Mengda before, as he was afraid of being discovered. Because as long as you observe carefully, it is not difficult to see that Wu Mengda's acting talent is extraordinary.

If Chow Yun-fat is indeed a born upright protagonist, then Wu Mengda is also a rare supporting actor in a century.

A person with extraordinary acting skills, whose image is completely unrelated to the protagonist, is the best foil.

Wu Changyun first invited Wu Mengda to have a meal, and then took him to his own film base. Although it was still under construction, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Wu Changyun's investment was not small.

"Teacher, what's the point of showing me these?"

"I want you to stay with me, will you do it?"

Wu Mengda is a smart person. Unlike Wu Changyun's stereotype, Wu Mengda is very conservative in his words and deeds in daily life, and is also very concerned about affecting others.

"Can I think about it?" Wu Mengda repeated it several times in his mind, but he didn't speak out.

Wu Mengda glanced at Wu Changyun's profile as he looked towards the compound. First he took him to dinner and then came to visit the company. If he still asked to consider it, it would be too insincere.

When people have to make decisions about their own interests, they will become hesitant, and Wu Mengda is no exception.

"I once thought that I could make a name for myself with my acting skills," Wu Mengda said.

Wu Changyun looked at the other person with some interest.

"Don't look at me like that. I've been a bit player before, and it's definitely longer than yours."

Wu Mengda folded his arms as he stood side by side with Wu Changyun at the entrance, also looking into the courtyard. He continued to talk to himself, "I've been playing supporting roles for so long that people call me the King of Supporting Roles. If I play a supporting role, I'll always be a supporting role."

"I don't have a protagonist to play?"

"No." Wu Changyun answered directly.

"Are you sure? You are so sincere today and take me everywhere, but you don't even give me the leading role?" Wu Mengda asked in surprise.

"You are not fit to be the protagonist."

"Tsk, of course I know." Wu Mengda said somewhat angrily. He had originally held a glimmer of hope that perhaps some movies would not need such a handsome and upright protagonist, and his image would be enough for the role.

Wu Changyun continued, "The kind of person you fantasize about won't be the protagonist."

"Fuck, you're going too far. Can you read minds?"

"What's wrong with being a supporting role?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. Nowadays, you might not even be able to be an actor." Wu Mengda spread his hands and suddenly said excitedly, "Hey, is it wrong for me to want to be the protagonist? Is there anyone who wants to be a supporting role right from the start?"

This made Wu Changyun burst into laughter.

Now Wu Changyun doesn't dare to speak too slowly. Wu Mengda is like a rare card, but this card must be used in combination with another card named "Stephen Chow" to achieve perfect effect.

Accepting Wu Mengda in advance is actually a stopgap measure, which may only be needed in the future. However, Wu Changyun will also try to give Uncle Da some roles to let him try to break the constraints of supporting roles.

A few days later, when the first training course was about to end, all the teachers and those who had appeared at the opening ceremony gathered together again.

This time Li Yingquan was also among them, and she deliberately chose a seat next to Wu Changyun.

"I'm going to take this opportunity to transfer Zhou Runfa to my office. What do you think of him being a clerk?" Li Yingquan asked Wu Changyun.

"What about your former secretary?"

"That traitor was naturally kicked out by me."

"Congratulations then."

Finally, it was Chow Yun-fat's turn to speak on stage. After the first course, the remaining artists would enter the internship selection period, and only those who were qualified to be regular employees could truly stay in TVB.

Wu Mengda was clapping in the audience at this time. He was invited to join Wu Changyun's camp. The reason was very simple: Wu Changyun gave too much.

"Here, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone in the audience..." Zhou Runfa said as he walked down to the stage.

Li Yingquan clearly noticed the other person's passionate eyes. She could hardly contain her joy and sat up straight, waiting for Zhou Runfa to come to her.

"My teacher."

Zhou Runfa pulled Wu Changyun's arm and stood with him.

"During the class, Teacher Wu taught me a lot, especially how to be an actor and not be affected by external things."

"No, no, that's because you have enough concentration."

Wu Changyun smiled awkwardly.

If it were the 1980s, Wu Changyun would not have put so much effort into Chow Yun-fat, but he always felt that he had a hobby similar to collecting cards. For Wu Changyun, it would be very fulfilling to be able to recruit those well-known actors as his disciples.

By then, his Qi Ji Film Company will be a super company that dominates the Hong Kong film industry.

Looking at Li Yingquan again, her expression didn't look so good anymore. She had just mentioned her previous secretary job, but now it seemed like she was really shooting herself in the foot.

"If you have the guts, I'll leave."

Li Yingquan left his seat angrily.

Of course, those present understood the meaning of this. After all, Zhou Runfa and Li Yingquan had been making a lot of noise some time ago. However, this also earned Zhou Runfa a lot of fame, and he used this incident to hype himself up.

Afterwards, Wang Tianlin found Wu Changyun and asked if he could help mediate.

"No need, Brother Wang, she and I didn't have much in common."

"That's the best." Wang Tianlin acted as if he knew it all, but in his heart he didn't agree with Wu Changyun's opinion at all. If you think that people who make movies and work in TV stations are two different worlds, then you are totally wrong.

"By the way, my son wants to meet you. Can you come to my house for dinner this weekend?"

"Family meal? Sure."

Wu Changyun agreed without hesitation, but then he thought of the two generals he had just recruited. Although the film company's base was still under construction, it would not affect their creation at all.

Now we have to stabilize the rear first. We can't let these two people wait with us for half a year. Besides, these two people are earning their salaries. If we can't make a profit for a month, that will be a month's loss.

"How about this, come to my house when you have time." Wu Changyun suggested.

Who would have thought that this delay would last for half a year.
