This is also one of the reasons why Wu Changyun took out the script of the drama "The Legendary Hero". The plot of this drama has not yet had that kind of nonsensical and out-of-place plot, but Stephen Chow's role in the drama is no longer the traditional kind of hero. Instead, the villain in the early stage is more like the most qualified hero in the minds of the audience.
The development of Hong Kong films does have a traceable path. Often, someone jumps out to test the waters, and then the style of the film begins to change.
At the beginning, it was the predecessor of Xu Guanwen who explored the style of citizen drama, which indeed received a good response. Later, it was the humorous style directed by Xu Guanwen himself, and then the "Happy Ghost Series". Ghost movies have a long history in Hong Kong.
However, the "Happy Ghost" series is different and has also achieved good results. After that, it was Chan Kong-sang's "Small People, Big Heroes".
Then there are Chow Yun-fat's underworld social films, and in fact, Wu Changsuan is a breath of fresh air in the industry.
His films don't fall into any particular genre, but they are always very well made.
When he came up with the script for "The Sixth Sense", Wu Changyun realized that it was highly undesirable to completely copy a famous work in Hong Kong, so Wu Changyun made some changes.
The transformation was completed by taking the scripts of those famous works and adapting them to the style of Hong Kong actors.
“This is the set meal you ordered.”
The waiter pushed a cart and brought up the exquisite Western food.
Wu Changyun actually couldn't name things like steak and pasta. He just heard that Japanese Wagyu beef was better, and there were also Australian beef and Libyan pigs. The meat was divided into different parts and textures, which was really very complicated.
However, after these ingredients are given titles, they do give people a different experience.
“That’s really good.”
Wu Changyun cut off a small piece and tasted it. The taste was indeed different from the ingredients he had eaten before. Ordinary meat has hard fibers, while the fibers of this meat are very soft.
It does feel like you want to eat another piece after eating one, but American style is rare and you will get tired of it if you eat it too much.
“That’s really good.”
Stephen Chow was concentrating on tasting the steak on the plate, followed by some more precious snacks, such as truffles and caviar. They were all very fresh and creative snacks.
Overall, Wu Changyun was quite satisfied with the meal. Of course, considering the price, it was just average.
"Have you finished eating?"
"Well, okay, I'll go check out first."
Stephen Chow suggested that in this AA situation, whoever goes to pay first has to wait for the other to transfer money to him/her, so out of courtesy Stephen Chow stood up.
"Forget it, no need. I'm familiar with this place, but you're not. I'm afraid you'll find the wrong place."
"It's right there."
"No, I have a membership card."
"Haven't you been here before?"
"I borrowed it from my friend. Can't I get a discount?"
Wu Changyun finally managed to cover up the lie. When paying the bill, Wu Changyun kept looking back to see if Stephen Chow had followed him. The fastest way to make friends with a stranger is to have a meal and then go to a nightclub.
Although this method is a bit vulgar, it works on everyone and is very effective.
"Sir, the total is one thousand and nineteen. I'll just charge you one thousand dollars."
"good."
Wu Changyun paid the bill and threw the invoice given by the waiter into the trash can.
“Let’s go, let’s go!”
Wu Changyun greeted Stephen Chow, and the two seemed to be very familiar with each other. Wu Changyun's personality is relatively straightforward. Sometimes, hiding things and testing each other will lead to misunderstandings, but Wu Changyun is used to saying what he thinks.
"Okay, let's go back?"
"Of course, go and have fun."
"Huh? Where are you going? I actually have something to do tonight."
Stephen Chow smacked his lips and said.
In fact, he used to be a person who enjoyed a nightlife, but since he started working, he has participated in fewer such recreational activities. The main reason is that the friends he used to know are also working, and the pressure in Hong Kong is still very high.
Especially after starting work, fortunately Stephen Chow is a hard-working person, but he also often puts himself under a lot of pressure.
"Actually, I heard a rumor that you're going to be filming a TV series. It's arranged by the station."
"Who? Me?"
Stephen Chow found it a little hard to believe. He had had this lucky fantasy before, but since the people around him were promoted one by one, he gradually understood this truth.
The station selects a person either because this person has gained the trust of his superiors, or because this person has outstanding talents in the workplace, or because this person has an unexpected opportunity to film a drama and has left a deep impression on a famous director.
It’s a pity that Stephen Chow has none of these three qualities. He has never even made a movie or TV series, let alone been noticed by any big director.
Although he worked diligently in his career, his boss saw him as just a hard-working intern.
"Don't finish it, how can I."
"Would I lie to you? You and I were chosen together, otherwise why would I suddenly ask you out? This is almost certain. I should receive a notification in two days."
"It sounds like the truth."
Stephen Chow wiped the sweat off his face with the handkerchief he carried with him. Actually, he was not sweating, he just felt a little nervous.
"Of course it's true. If it's fast, there will be news tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? You're making fun of me."
"Of course not. I'm making fun of you and myself. I came to you specifically to celebrate and to see who I'm acting opposite."
"Rival role? No way, what role?"
Stephen Chow smiled very funny and asked in a nonchalant manner.
"I heard it's a very important role. I might not be the protagonist, but it's definitely a relatively important role. It won't be a small part that only appears in one or two scenes, or an insignificant passerby."
"Important role?"
Speaking of this, Stephen Chow has also started to think about this matter. On the one hand, Wu Changyun suddenly asked him to have dinner with him, and the two of them had never met before. What did he want?
Secondly, Stephen Chow was also looking forward to leaving the children's program and doing some real career.
"What's the script about? Probably."
Stephen Chow asked. Of course, he didn't expect the other party to tell him the detailed script, but giving a general idea could greatly increase the credibility of the matter.
"You are playing a rather useless young master who spends his days eating, drinking and gambling without paying attention."
After hearing what Wu Changyun said, Stephen Chow was stunned. He looked at Wu Changyun with some confusion. How could this be an important role? This was just a passerby role who only appeared for five minutes.
A young master like this will become a stepping stone for the protagonist in any minute.
