During the time that Wu Changyun was away, some changes took place in the Hong Kong film industry, the most notable of which was the emergence of Princess Golden.
The first year of the 1980s was the beginning of the emergence of many talents. The top film companies currently include Golden Princess, Liren, Dayong, Anle, Gaoyun, Fendou, Fushan and Zhucheng.
These are just the companies whose works rank in the top 20. In addition to these companies, there are many small companies.
This year can be said to be the most competitive year. In the 1970s, the consensus was that only four companies could be considered to be able to produce truly good works, and a lot of personnel movement at that time was from Shaw Brothers to outside.
It was different in the 1980s. Actors as talented as Chan Kong-sang and Sammo Hung tried to start their own companies. Almost all actors who believed they had a certain appeal had established their own film companies.
This also led to various chaos in the 1980s. In such a situation, even Wu Changyun could not guarantee to be the only one to win.
A few days ago, he went on a trip with Guan Shan and his group. When he returned to the company, they were already in a building in Kowloon. This place was chosen by everyone together, and of course Zhou Huiting took the lead.
It was the first time for Wu Changyun to live in such a large office.
His president's office is at the innermost part of the top floor. Anyone with a certain status in the company is on the third floor. The second floor is where the employees work, including some familiar faces.
The third floor is Wu Changyun’s new business, mainly for training new people.
Everyone present at this meeting was personally invited by Wu Changyun, and they are a very core part of the plan.
Everyone was very serious, especially Tony Leung Ka Fai, who has become much more mature over the past year. This guy is indeed a learning-oriented person and looks a bit like Zhou Chaoxian.
"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come here."
"fine."
Wang Jing waved his hand, and Wu Changyun really handed the script of "God of Gamblers" to Wang Jing as promised.
After watching it, Wang Jing didn't have much feeling at first, but when he learned that Wu Changyun wanted Zhou Runfa to participate in it, he instantly became excited.
In fact, Wu Changyun only has the right to propose who should participate in the performance, but he does not have the right to decide.
But they have been together for a long time, especially since the company is now thriving, so naturally they are unwilling to go against Wu Changyun.
Let the actors feel a little more relaxed, so that the show can last longer. Wu Changyun also doesn't want to rely on tricks to control people.
"I was surprised when I heard that I was going to work with Wang Dao." Zhou Runfa smiled and joked about Wang Jing.
Because in the company, the person with the most seniority is Wu Changyun. Although he has not filmed as many dramas as Du Qifeng, he is actually Du Qifeng's teacher, followed by Wang Jing.
This guy usually looks like he has a lot of free time. Sometimes he goes to various film sets to joke around and looks frivolous.
In fact, no one has ever seen how capable Wang Jing is.
Wu Changyun also doesn't know how capable Wang Jing is. It's true that this guy is talented, but no one knows whether he can do it well the first time. Anyway, according to the history that has not been changed by Wu Changyun, Wang Jing's starting point is higher than Du Qifeng.
"Brother Fa, take care of it, take care of it."
Speaking of joking, Wang Jing is a big hearted person who doesn't take it seriously. He clenched his fists and said repeatedly.
"The purpose of this meeting is to determine a style. After we finish filming our current films, we will continue to expand the number of directors in the future. It would be best if everyone has their own style. This way we can ensure our diversity and not be overshadowed by some emerging writers in the 1980s."
Wu Changyun said that what he said sounded a bit groundless to others.
Now is the era when Qi Ji is in charge. Jiahe is blocked by Qi Ji and ranks second in the district.
Shaw Brothers should have been able to outperform other films, but unfortunately, due to the early internal competition in the 1970s, Shaw Brothers' films were no longer accepted by the audience.
Now Shaw Brothers is almost showing signs of selling off its film industry, and Wu Changyun is also keeping an eye on this matter. Once Shaw Brothers really plans to sell off, Wu Changyun will be the first to take over.
"Sure, no problem. My style is obvious, everyone knows it."
Du Qifeng didn't care. Instead, he felt more comfortable being able to film what he was good at.
Ever since he filmed A Better Tomorrow, he has become more and more obsessed with tough films between men. His films are often accompanied by some kind of conspiracy, and his views on valuing righteousness over profit are fully reflected in his films.
This is also similar to Du Qifeng's future "Black Gold" and "Gunfire". He is a natural expert in this field.
As for Wang Jing, he looked puzzled. His first work had not yet come out, but he was asked to choose a style. How could he choose?
"I'll just film whatever is a hit, as long as it makes money for the company."
Wang Jing said that he rejected his father Wang Tianlin's invitation and insisted on staying in the company, which made many people have a good impression of him. Everyone also felt that Wang Jing's casual nature was his personal style.
Wu Changyun took a deep breath and saw that other people had the same attitude as Wang Jing. He realized that if this meeting continued like this, there would be no point at all.
These people firmly believe that as long as they follow the company's instructions, they will always be in the first echelon. At least in the past few years, Wu Changyong has demonstrated his command ability through his actions.
But that’s not the case now.
Wu Changyun knew the difficulties ahead and he had a solution.
It's a choice between three options. He must at least have a way to compete with Chan Kong-sang, Sammo Hung and Stephen Chow, as well as the future of TVB.
In order to prevent any problems from happening, Wu Changyun decided to at least limit Stephen Chow's acting range.
There is an opportunity right in front of him, which is to cooperate with TVB. This cooperation has been negotiated before, and Wu Changyun can appear in a series of large-scale dramas on TVB.
To this end, Wu Changyun planned to try to steal Stephen Chow's girl first.
But considering there are no suitable actors capable of matching his style, why not just pull in Stephen Chow to restrict himself?
Wu Changyun knew very well that Stephen Chow was currently in TVB's training class. Did he have to go to TVB again to poach people?
Thinking of this, Wu Changyun couldn't help but feel a chill, because he had made his fortune in the late 1970s by poaching people. Now that his status was different, it would be a natural thing for him to poach people from TVB.
Now he just needs to call Wang Tianlin. Something is not right.
Wu Changyun looked at Wang Jing again. This guy's son is now working for him. Wang Tianlin meant to train Wang Jing and then take over his job. Now not only did the plan fail, but his own son was also lost.
