"I'm not being funny, I'm just telling the truth."
Wu Changyun chuckled and said that just like most male actors, Wu Changyun has a good photogenic effect. He looks like a modest gentleman. After this time, many young fans will probably fall in love with Wu Changyun.
"I heard that you were sent to the martial arts troupe when you were young. How was your life there? Did your fellow apprentices bully you?"
The host asked, and to ease the atmosphere she always smiled, revealing her two relatively white big teeth, and then covered her mouth with her hands and looked at Wu Changyun who was being interviewed without any apology.
"Well, my fellow apprentices are very nice to me, but we also often play together. Since I'm the youngest, they often play with me."
Wu Changyun gave an example, which was purely fabricated because he had no idea what had happened before. As far as he could remember, he had beaten Long Jichao once, and there was no other story.
Halfway through the interview, more questions were directed to Wang Jing, about the new film and some of Wang Jing's past events.
In fact, everyone is also very curious. Wang Tianlin's son works under Wu Changyun. Although ordinary spectators would not be as entangled as Wang Tianlin, they still have some speculations about this.
Also, Wang Jing is considered a newcomer. Compared with several popular directors nowadays, he has almost no works to compare with.
Fortunately, the production team was more friendly to both of them this time.
They just asked some routine questions. After the recording was over, Wang Tianlin stopped Wu Changyun privately and said, "Thank you for your hard work this time."
"Um."
Wu Changyun nodded, thinking that this old fox would not stop him just for this.
"Do you know TVB's Spring Festival Gala?"
Wang Tianlin suddenly asked, the Spring Festival Gala referred to here is of course not the same as the one that Wu Changyun is most familiar with. In order to compete with ATV, both TVB launched new programs one after another and dared to innovate.
Later, in order to compete for users, both companies launched the Spring Festival Gala program.
The excitement of TVB's Spring Festival Gala can be described in a simple way. TVB will bring the actors with the highest votes into this show, and the audience can see their favorite actors or actresses, not only their images in the drama, but also their singing and dancing, etc.
Many well-known bigwigs will participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala, including business tycoons and people with certain power. It is a great thing for TVB actors to be able to participate in this program.
"What does this have to do with me?"
"Of course it's related. This year's event is also considered the anniversary celebration, and they randomly planned to invite some actors who have worked with TVB to appear. Doesn't this have something to do with you?"
"Um?"
When Wu Changyun heard these words, he realized how beneficial this opportunity was, but he was a little surprised.
But if you think about it carefully, the number of TVB viewers and the number of people watching TV now far exceed those of movies. Although the 1980s was the golden age of movies, compared to going out to watch movies, you can watch TV programs at home and the cost is not very high. I believe many people will choose the latter.
Even though the television penetration rate in Hong Kong has not yet reached the level where every household has one, it is still a group that cannot be underestimated.
"You mean my actors can also participate in your show?"
“Yes, this requires a vote.”
Wang Tianlin said solemnly that this matter seemed to require voting and evaluating the audience's likes to select people, but in fact, who the audience liked to watch was closely related to who they could see.
Just like this new drama, Anita Mui’s role appears quite a few times, and her appearance is also quite good, so there is a great possibility that she will be selected this time.
But Wu Changyun was considering something else. If someone could appear on TVB this time, would there be a chance to film a TV series in the future, or participate in subsequent TVB performances?
This is a great thing for any actor, and Wu Changyun also knows that if he wants to gain a foothold in the 1980s, he cannot do without this TV station.
Most of the new actors who became slightly famous in the 1980s came from TVB. As for where they went after leaving TVB, it depended on their luck.
It's like an engineering assembly line. After an actor is trained and graduates from TVB, he or she will join a film company to shoot a movie. Whether it's a movie or a TV series, it's a double harvest.
This is a good thing for TVB and film companies. Of course, it is not just Wu Changyun who can see this. Shaw Brothers is now in a semi-retired state, and there are only a few companies that can compete with Qi Ji.
Wu Changyun seems to have a point of view. Since we have to grab the spots, it would be best to grab all of them.
"You won't help me with this?"
"Help, of course I will help you, otherwise why would I tell you this."
Wang Tianlin said tacitly that the solution he came up with was to take on a drama at the end of the year. This year, TVB planned to release two leading TV dramas, which would be broadcast in two prime frequency bands respectively. In this way, Qi Ji could arrange for the right people to appear in the audience's field of vision.
Of course, Wang Tianlin did not pave the way for Wu Changyun for free. He also wanted to find a reliable partner.
In fact, it would be a good choice to invite Sammo Hung or Chan Kong-sang. The box office of these two movies has been very hot recently, so the chances of them being cast are very high.
But the prices offered by these two people are not low, so Wang Tianlin hopes to try with Wu Changyun.
Sometimes, it is important to find a buyer who knows the goods, which will save you a lot of money. Wang Tianlin believes that Wu Changyun understands the subsequent benefits of this matter and should not offer him an exorbitant salary.
"Don't worry, I'll arrange everything for you this time. You just need to provide the manpower."
"Is it enough for me to just provide manpower?"
Wu Changyun thought that there was such a good thing in the world, but then he realized that the first-tier stars in his family seemed to have high salaries for each actor, and this was set by Wu Changyun.
What do you mean he only contributed manpower? Is it a free charity performance?
"You're not doing a charity performance, are you?"
"How do you know?"
Wang Tianlin widened his eyes and deliberately fooled Wu Changyun.
"Boss, why don't you tell me something so important right away? Give me some time to prepare myself mentally. I have a bunch of brothers at home waiting for me to go back and give them an explanation."
"I know we all have our own difficulties. This time, the instructions from my superiors really give me a headache."
Wang Tianlin also looked aggrieved. In fact, it was not his fault. TVB was originally a bidding project put out by the government, and now it is not the property of a single company.
