This answer surprised Chen Huaiai a little, but it was understandable, because people of Wu Changyun's age were basically born after the 1950s, and people like Wu Changyun have not forgotten their hometown.
"well."
Chen Huaiai wanted to give Wu Changyun some advice. He did know a lot of directors with great information, and with his recommendation, he would be able to avoid many detours.
Wu Changyun nodded. He also knew why old man Chen Huaiai was willing to say these words to him.
Hong Kong has always been an inseparable part of the motherland. They hope to share the things of many compatriots and present more diverse art to the public.
This is also what Guan Shan was thinking about. It was not until this moment that Wu Changyun realized that Guan Shan was not as simple as he seemed.
He is a man with great ideas, and his ideals are broad and long-term.
Wu Changyun couldn't help but look up to Guan Shan in his heart. After all, he was not a native Hong Konger.
"If there is anything I can do, please tell me and I will do my best."
Wu Changyun said very sincerely.
"It's just that my company is still in Hong Kong, and the business operations it operates cannot be relocated back for the time being. I will face many difficulties, so there may not be much I can do."
"I understand that."
Chen Huaiai was very satisfied with Wu Changyun's answer. This young man was sincere and honest.
Chen Huaiai has come into contact with many Hong Kong directors, who support his ideas, but when it comes to putting them into practice, almost all of them seem timid.
"It's not easy for you."
Chen Huaiai also understood that Wu Changyun had to make many sacrifices to make this answer.
There are also many voices of opposition in Hong Kong.
"Actually, there is an opportunity right now. You can take this opportunity to go back home and shoot a movie, and your work will also be well promoted." The "home" in Chen Huaiai's words refers to the mainland.
"If there is this opportunity, of course I would like to."
"But we have to wait a little longer."
Chen Huaiai did know about such an opportunity, and he just lacked the right person. However, due to the different levels of openness of the films on both sides, blindly pushing forward this matter would only make Hong Kong films even less accepted.
Therefore, this matter needs to be handled with caution. At least he now has a like-minded child.
"Okay, you can talk to my son too. He has made some achievements in this area."
"No, he still needs to learn from him."
Chen Kaige is very humble, and his modesty is not without reason. Although Hong Kong is small, it is indeed an international film environment. Therefore, people who can stand out in that environment are indeed worth learning from.
"Okay, let's learn from each other."
Wu Changyun left the room. He didn't actually have much to say. He happened to see Guan Zhihan strolling in the yard.
Seeing her aloof look, Wu Changyun leaned over and asked, "What's wrong? Is this your first time here?"
"Um."
Guan Zhihan nodded. She changed from her previous energetic appearance. After arriving at the Chen family, she became very quiet and her personality became much more introverted, with none of her previous qualities.
"Do you think I should be like my father?"
"Why aren't you interested in movies?"
Wu Changyun found this funny. When he asked himself, he realized that this was like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.
"Not really. My father said I'm very talented in this field. I look like an entertainer."
Guan Shan was right in saying this. Guan Zhihan's appearance is exactly what an artist should look like. He can be sweet and pure, and he can also make the audience's blood vessels dilate.
"Then why didn't you concentrate on doing this?" Wu Changyun asked.
In fact, Guan Zhihan has never thought about this problem. She does not lack confidence, but lacks a reason, or an opportunity. She is not yet 20 years old this year, and even if she is talented, she can only be exposed to one or two movies at most.
Just like Brigitte Lin, she debuted at the age of 18, and her works up to now, including the one by Wu Changyun, are only three.
However, these three films have made her very popular and a recognized goddess in Hong Kong.
Of course, Wu Changyun knew that such a wave would soon subside, because the 1980s was an era of great battles among gods, especially female gods.
"Why, you don't want to be a goddess-level star like Brigitte Lin?"
"I've thought about it, but it's not like I don't want to, nor do I particularly want to."
"So what do you want?"
Wu Changyun was a little confused about this guy's thinking. Did he really want to do it or not?
At heart, Guan Zhihan is just an ordinary girl. In fact, no matter how beautiful a girl is, she is just an ordinary girl at heart. She is at that age when she wants to eat something delicious when she sees it. She cannot tell the good from the bad of things she has not experienced. She is easily addicted and gives up.
"I want to give it a try."
"Then come to my place."
"Where are you?"
"Yeah, where else would you go? Golden Harvest? Or TVB? But if you participate in a TVB beauty pageant, you'd probably get a pretty good result."
"I don't want a beauty pageant. What kind of thing is that? I don't want others to judge my body."
Guan Zhihan decisively refused. She hated the feeling of treating beauty like a commodity.
As they chatted, they gradually became familiar with each other. In fact, Guan Zhihan only had a general impression of Wu Changyun's company. She always heard his father talk about it, so she naturally suspected that it was just bragging between friends.
So Wu Changyun began to tell Guan Zhihan about his battles of wits and courage with the British, TVB and Golden Harvest over the years.
At the beginning, it was him and the British, Henry, who were the first to want to kill him on the set, but in the end he was captured by his security team and would never appear in Hong Kong again.
The second one is TVB. It was the conflict between him and Li Yingquan. The ending of the story was very tortuous, even magical. He solved the case together with a female police officer whom he was not very familiar with at the time.
What followed was the story of his love-hate relationship with Golden Harvest. Hui Guanwen, the first general of Golden Harvest, once had a close fight with him, because Hui Guanwen's style was the current mainstream and could be said to be the audience's favorite.
Every year Wu Changyun only won by a narrow margin. Before the last day of the box office, Wu Changyun was not completely sure that he could defeat this genius.
"Then this guy named Xu Guanwen must be pissed to death."
Guan Zhihan asked curiously. She was not unfamiliar with the name Xu Guanwen. She often heard her father mention him. The first one was "A Joy", and later it became a film directed by Xu Guanwen himself.
"He would probably be very angry." Wu Changyun tried to think about it from his perspective.
