In fact, why did he choose Anita Mui? This question is probably something Wu Changyun couldn't answer for the time being. Perhaps it was because Anita Mui played the role of Thirteenth Lady in A Chinese Odyssey. In fact, Wu Changyun had always had a few actors in his mind who were very suitable for certain roles.
For example, Brother Mark is played by Chow Yun-fat, nonsensical comedy is played by Stephen Chow, and the Kung Fu King Chan Kong-sang. You should know that in the 21st century, Wu Changyun would also be one of the audience.
As for why I chose this role, it’s because it can make me famous.
Adapting novel scripts into TV dramas is not just TVB's exclusive domain; Wu Changyun can also do it.
If you say that writing a script is difficult, then writing a novel is just as hard. This job is as simple as giving someone a sauna. As long as the readers enjoy it, everything will be fine.
"Of course it's because it's close to reality."
"Um."
Stephen Chow nodded, but he obviously had other understandings that he didn't express, probably because of Wu Changyun's identity.
Although he is still young, Stephen Chow understands one thing too well, that is, practice is the only evidence to test everything, and anything else that has not been put into practice can only be said to be fantasy.
How could Wu Changyun not see that Stephen Chow definitely had his own understanding, but Wu Changyun would not point it out, because Stephen Chow might be one of his strongest opponents in the 1980s.
Although Wu Changyun had separated Wu Mengda, Wang Jing and Huang Bingyao, it was because of Wang Jing's previous God of Gamblers that he found Stephen Chow to shoot a God of Gamblers movie, and things got out of control after that.
God of Gamblers hasn't come out yet, and Wu Changyun isn't really considering filming this movie because it might teach kids bad things...
Maybe it sounds a bit sensational now, but this kind of thing really happened in Hong Kong at that time, especially in the Young and Dangerous series. There were really imitating young people wandering around the streets with various weapons, or looking for some local thugs.
"Just say whatever you want to say."
Wu Changyun saw that Stephen Chow was holding back his thoughts.
Stephen Chow looked at the time. Normally, his family should have gone to bed by this time, but considering that his mother might be worried about him, Stephen Chow frowned.
"Actually, I don't have any opinions. I just want to be a good actor if I have the chance."
Stephen Chow looked at Wu Changyun, as if to express his determination, but only he knew that he was saying this to himself.
He really wants to be a good actor, but God has not given him the opportunity yet, so he can only keep working hard until he can be an all-rounder on the set and help with things that others cannot solve.
"My time is up, I changed it back."
Stephen Chow realized his gaffe and deliberately changed the subject. He really should go home.
Wu Changyun asked Liang Jiahui to drive Stephen Chow away. Also left behind were Zhang Guorong and Anita Mui. The three of them were no longer as lively as before.
Lan Jieying wanted to ask this question just now, but she never asked it out loud.
"Boss Wu, I also want to know why you chose me. There must be a reason."
"What's wrong? Are you worried that you'll be unwelcome in the company one day?"
"No way, don't joke."
Lan Jieying gently pushed Wu Changyun. She was already very happy to join the company. Her current salary was beyond the reach of ordinary workers. If she continued to develop according to the original goals, the money she could earn would be less than one-tenth of what she earns now.
In fact, Wu Changyun only changed the company that Lan Jieying belonged to, and did not change Lan Jieying's financial income. She was born with a face that could make money.
However, Wu Changyun's series of actions have ruined TVB. The continuous poaching has resulted in TVB, which should have dominated the industry in the 1980s, now having to rely on its existing leading actresses and actors, and waiting for the emergence of new stars like Andy Lau and Tony Leung Chiu-wai.
"The boss is very good at judging people. He knows who is suitable for acting. He values you because you must have potential in this area."
Zhang Guorong said it casually. He could say such words without thinking. Everyone has a period of confusion. He has been through it.
Before, Zhang Guorong didn’t understand why he could act so well, but now he understands.
His characters are very profound on screen, especially when he knows what his movies bring to the audience. It feels like he has experienced many different lives.
"There's a saying that life is a drama. That's it. Follow me and you'll gain a lot."
Wu Changyun drank a bottle of soda. Now he is taking care of these newcomers, and behind him there are a group of fellow brothers who are silently supporting him.
"Thank you, Boss."
Lan Jieying unconsciously leaned her head on Wu Changyun's shoulder. Zhang Guorong saw this scene and laughed secretly.
To be honest, this boss has impeccable looks, is talented and rich. I wonder how many girls dream of him.
"Okay, go back quickly, we still have work to do tomorrow."
At Leslie Cheung's suggestion, the three returned to the company.
The Hong Kong film industry has been in turmoil recently, and the Shaw Brothers has been in the most trouble, because they have the most porn stars in Hong Kong, and these porn stars really mean porn stars in the literal sense.
Recently there is a person named Zhang Jin who has been causing troubles for the company.
This time Liu Che was scolded again because the film they had shot before was submitted for review and was questioned by the Film Association because of its excessive scale. This questioning was extraordinary because some things might cause big trouble if not explained clearly.
In fact, this year, the senior management of Shaw Brothers had already begun to consider retiring. The company planned to withdraw from the film production market and then move closer to theaters and real estate. The current leader of Shaw Brothers is Run Run Shaw.
Because the chairman and general manager of TVB passed away last year, Run Run Shaw successfully became the largest shareholder of TVB.
Despite owning the huge treasure of TVB, Shaw Brothers is in a situation where there are wolves in front and tigers behind. It would be better for them to transfer their assets to more stable cinemas and real estate.
Instead of fighting to the death with Qi Ji, Jia He and Si Yuan, it is better to take a step back and see the bigger picture.
Therefore, departments related to film production have been in a panic this year. Some high-ranking leaders have sensed the possibility of layoffs and unemployment in advance and have become alert.
It's not like 1975, when any Shaw Brothers director or film worker could find a good job as long as they left.
Now that the film industry has matured, if these people lose their jobs, they are likely to be truly unemployed.
"I'm so angry! You really went too far this time. Even the general manager was alarmed."
Liu Che pointed at Hua An's nose and said that because of the movies he and Zhang Jin had filmed before, there had always been rumors that their shooting method using real guns and live ammunition was against the law and morality.
In fact, it is not true. They were all made by Hua An. Some shots look real, but in fact they are made by using dislocation and special costumes and props, etc. Hua An’s real method is to use the fact that Zhang Jin came from a small company to create some hype.
