Wu Changyun took Stephen Chow to a seat near the inside and hung his coat behind him skillfully. To be honest, Wu Changyun had an illusion.
With Stephen Chow's current financial status, he certainly wouldn't be living a life of luxury, especially in a high-end restaurant like this one that advertises itself as serving successful people. A white-collar worker like Stephen Chow has already surpassed a large number of Hong Kong office workers who consider themselves to have decent jobs.
"Who defined the word high-end?"
Wu Changyun looked around and the waiter next to him handed him a menu.
The prices of the above items are very high, and the cheapest ordinary drinks on the menu start at 100 yuan.
Wu Changyun naturally would not let Stephen Chow see such a horrifying menu, because it would consume almost a month's salary for Stephen Chow.
Today, he wants to take Stephen Chow to experience life.
"Don't bother, just order this set meal."
Wu Changyun returned the menu to the waiter with a smile. Stephen Chow, who was standing next to him, originally wanted to see what was on the menu, but Wu Changyun's move made him speechless.
"I heard from colleagues who have been here before that this set meal is great value. You can rest assured that it is definitely within your budget."
Wu Changyun deliberately covered his mouth and said this. The waiter next to him was laughing. In the waiter's opinion, these two people were quite interesting.
"Have you been busy with work lately?"
Wu Changyun quickly changed the subject.
"It's okay. I still do some recording and broadcasting work, as well as radio work."
"I heard you were working three part-time jobs."
"Nothing."
Stephen Chow denied it because admitting such things would make people feel a little uncomfortable.
"By the way, I heard there are a lot of new people joining TVB recently, making it difficult for newcomers like us to stand out."
"Haha, that's true. There are more than 20 people in our class alone."
"But judging from your appearance, there must be something going on."
Wu Changyun said that he still remembered that during a previous TV interview program, Lu Yu had questioned Stephen Chow's appearance. Maybe this guy still had some obsession with his own evaluation.
Stephen Chow nodded. If someone else had said it, it would have been fine.
"How's it going? Have you ever thought about changing places?"
"Not yet. I'm lucky enough to be able to attend night school."
Because Liang Chaowei, who is a good friend of Stephen Chow, went to the interview with him. Stephen Chow was not selected in the first round at that time. After that, he participated in an artist training class and is still attending night school.
This type of night school is similar to an adult cram school and is basically held in the evening.
"Really? I'm quite acquainted with Liang Chaowei."
"Really? Then we're all friends."
Stephen Chow finally changed his stiff sitting posture and slowly lifted up his calves which were originally perpendicular to the ground. He looked much more natural.
"Alas, the overall environment is always good every year, but for us, it is really not easy to stand out."
"I think you still have a lot of potential."
Stephen Chow becomes serious as soon as this topic is mentioned. He is a rather special kind of person. Even though he has no experience in scripts and directors, he has rehearsed the filming process countless times in his mind.
If he were to construct a movie, it seemed like it was something God had arranged for him to do.
To comment on Stephen Chow, he is actually not very talented. He was able to host children's programs before because he was patient, seemed to have good character, and often helped his colleagues on weekdays, so he got this position.
Stephen Chow did not doubt himself before, as the previous interview experience was quite a blow to him.
Since it was Stephen Chow who recommended Liang Chaowei to the interview, naturally he had a high opinion of Liang Chaowei.
But at least he had prepared for it, and he also had advantages, especially since the interview depended largely on acting skills. Liang Chaowei, who had almost never shown interest in this before, passed it in one try.
He did not tell Wu Changyun these thoughts, otherwise Wu Changyun would have been able to answer them for him.
It’s not really that Liang Chaowei’s acting is good. He is handsome, and this is not something that can be judged by one person. The public’s evaluation of him is indeed good, but Liang Chaowei has never acted.
At least, Liang Chaowei once took on a play written by Wu Changyun when he was a child.
It’s just that Liang Chaowei at that time had some changes in his image compared to now.
Because later it was Yuan Aijia who funded Liang Chaowei to study, which to a certain extent changed the course of history.
"Because I think you're more suitable for playing decent roles. You have an advantage, in my personal opinion."
Stephen Chow also added a more tactful ending at the end.
"Because the upright characters on screen are very stereotyped. When we say we see someone who is righteous, we think they should have a square face, or look very heroic."
Stephen Chow looked at Wu Changyun's face and continued, "But for us, our looks are quite ordinary, and we are considered good-looking among ordinary people. In the future, there will be more and more decent characters who are shaped by the plot, rather than having a person's appearance cater to the character setting in the plot."
"Wonderful……"
Wu Changyun couldn't help but sigh, because this guy's thinking was really clear.
Compared with the movies directed by Stephen Chow, they are all small characters, and some are mean and stingy, while others have accomplished nothing, but in the end these characters will grow into a big figure that everyone pays attention to, or an extraordinary person.
No wonder Stephen Chow’s acting style was like that later on, he had this concept a long time ago.
“But ultimately, finding what’s right for you is what matters.”
“…”
Stephen Chow hesitated for a moment, because what Wu Changyun said seemed very obvious at first glance, but he had never seriously considered this very simple thing.
What kind of acting style is suitable for him?
He has always been bringing joy to those children and care to those busy people, but what will these bring to himself?
Seeing Stephen Chow's serious expression, Wu Changyun knew that he was definitely overthinking it.
This witty genius just lacks an opportunity. All the logic is bullshit. Now all he needs is Wu Changyun to take the lead and let Huang Bingyao from the company give Stephen Chow a script, and then add Wang Jing as the director and he himself will be the supervisor.
The reason why I have to add myself as the supervisor is because Stephen Chow's eyes are a little confused now, just like Chow Yun-fat and Cheung Kwok-yung when they just started acting, he doesn't know what is right and what is suitable for him.
Especially someone like Stephen Chow, the characters he plays seem somewhat neurotic to the audience. The nonsensical plot and the nonsensical characters require an actor with superb acting skills and thorough understanding to complete. Obviously, Stephen Chow does not have this ability yet.
