"How can you come to an occasion like this without a female companion? Don't you think you should be more gentlemanly?" Chen Sisi took the initiative to hold Wu Changyun's elbow, stayed beside him and greeted everyone.
Wu Changyun and Chen Sisi weren't close friends, and if it weren't for a formal dinner, they wouldn't have gotten so close. Wu Changyun had already bumped into many people from Great Wall Pictures since he entered the office.
Today, Chen Sisi's red evening gown was exceptionally beautiful. Any man who gazed at her eyes for a long time would be mesmerized. Many people who didn't know the truth were curious about what kind of man could have such a woman as his companion. However, Wu Changyun had only just learned that Chen Sisi's nickname was "The Third Princess."
"Hey, Changyun!"
Someone greeted Wu Changyun, and when he looked closely, it was Yuen Wah. The two had not been in touch for a long time since they last parted on the crew, mainly because Wu Changyun was too busy.
Following Yuen Wah was another person, Sammo Hung, one of the Seven Little Fortunes. Wu Changyun was a little dazed. He had seen his appearance on the screen too many times, and his first impression of him in person was that he was strong and energetic.
Sammo Hung was a natural connoisseur. He took the initiative to shake hands with Wu Changyun and said, "Hello, my name is Sammo Hung, and I'm a martial arts instructor."
"I've heard of Wu Changyun before, an action movie actor."
After that, the two looked at each other and smiled at the same time. Sammo Hung is quite famous in the industry. He worked for Shaw Brothers in his early years and then moved to Golden Harvest. His strength can make him a leader in Hong Kong.
"You're too modest. I know Director Wu is a capable director and a fighter, and he's proficient in everything on the set."
This is not Sammo Hung's flattery. It was indeed heard from the crew that Wu Changyun was filming at the time. In the crew, Wu Changyun's coordination ability was even better than that of Sammo Hung.
"By the way, let me introduce someone to you. Our boss has always wanted to meet you." After saying this, Sammo Hung took Wu Changyun to the periphery of a crowd. In the center of the crowd was a middle-aged man with a temperament of being loved and respected in his conversation. This man's name was Zhou Wenhuai and he was the executive director of Golden Harvest and one of the organizers of this private banquet.
Sammo Hung raised his arms high and greeted Wrinkle Huai in the middle of the crowd, who was also very enthusiastic when he saw Wu Changyun.
"This must be Wu Changyun, what a handsome young man." Zhou Wenhuai said.
"I don't deserve it. Golden Harvest is the company with the most talented people."
"Oh, it seems that Director Wu has a good opinion of our Golden Harvest. How about it? Are you interested in developing in our Golden Harvest?" Chuang Wenhuai handed a business card to Wu Changyun.
As the head of Golden Harvest, Zhou Wenhuai's invitation to Wu Changyun was unusually direct, even surprising. Wu Changyun accepted the business card, and Chen Sisi's smile beside him was a little awkward. She had been affiliated with a different film company and thought she had the upper hand in this poaching, but she hadn't expected Golden Harvest to be so direct.
"Thank you for your appreciation." Wu Changyun nodded.
The banquet officially began, and everyone entered a larger room filled with seats. In the front were the chairs for the guests, while in the back were areas for the various film companies. As the guest of honor, Wu Changyun naturally went to the front.
"Let's sit in the front." Wu Changyun said to Chen Sisi.
"Front?"
"Um."
Wu Changyun pulled Chen Sisi, who was confused, to sit in a front seat. During this time, Chen Sisi looked at his friends from the Great Wall behind him, and he followed Wu Changyun and sat in the front seat.
This is an internal industry event, equivalent to the Hong Kong film industry's annual summary meeting. Directors and leading actors will take turns taking the stage, ranked by box office performance, to share their experiences and experiences to promote the progress of the entire industry. However, for major film companies, this is also a poaching event full of business opportunities.
Wu Changyun was not aware of this in advance. Fortunately, he was wearing formal clothes. When his name was called, Wu Changyun had no choice but to go up.
"What am I talking about?" Wu Changyun couldn't help but complain in his heart. Well, it's better to say it honestly.
"First of all, as a newly debuted film practitioner, everyone in the audience is my senior, and I feel a lot of pressure here." Wu Changyun couldn't help but smile. In fact, his state at the moment was just the opposite.
"I'm honored that this new martial arts film has achieved good box office results in Hong Kong. Compared with the two films before me, there is still a lot of room for improvement."
This made many people feel embarrassed. Talking about the box office of "The New Warrior", it ranked third in Hong Kong, but looking at the global market, apart from "Enter the Dragon" which grossed 90 million worldwide this year, the successor of Hong Kong movies must be "The New Warrior". Although "Seventy-two Tenants" is a movie with an excellent plot, it is not very popular abroad because its style is more inclined to the plot of Hong Kong's petty bourgeoisie.
"Speaking of this, I mourn deeply for Mr. Bruce Lee. Not only has Golden Harvest lost a rising star, but it is also a pity for movie fans around the world."
An award ceremony took a different turn under the leadership of Wu Changyun. After he stepped down from the stage, he returned to Chen Sisi's side.
"Well said. Did you hide the manuscript?"
"No, I winged it. Thanks for the exaggeration."
"Find a chance, I have something to tell you." Chen Sisi leaned close to Wu Changyun's ear and said.
At the middle of the event, Wu Changyun left the venue behind Chen Sisi. The two of them walked to a corridor on the second floor. Wu Changyun asked, "What's going on? What's going on?"
Chen Sisi turned his back and asked, "Have you considered your future development?"
"Not yet."
"I can introduce you to Great Wall Pictures. Your film is in Mandarin and the subject matter is very good."
"So, is this a personal invitation from Miss Chen Sisi, or from the company?" Wu Changyun asked jokingly. Chen Sisi is the goddess of the Hong Kong screen, and Wu Changyun couldn't help teasing her.
"Of course it is..."
Chen Sisi was interrupted by a waiter who emerged from the doorway. She then dragged Wu Changyun into a room, all of which were reserved for the banquet. The two of them were in a hotel-like room, and the atmosphere suddenly warmed. Chen Sisi was considered the most open of the three Great Wall princesses, her mannerisms less like a lady from a wealthy family and more like a modern, neighborly sister.
"You can understand it as my personal opinion. After all, having another option won't hurt you."
"That's the truth."
However, in comparison, Jiahe's invitation is obviously more sincere, and Chen Sisi is just an introducer in this matter.
"But aren't you afraid that someone will catch us photographing you when we leave?"
"Ah? Then go out and help me keep an eye on the wind."
"Should I go out and keep watch? What if I happen to run into that waiter? I can't stop him from coming in."
"It seems that Mr. Wu Changyun is unwilling to help me. In that case, let's talk about your movie." Chen Sisi sat on the bed with his arms folded, patted the seat next to him, and then looked at Wu Changyun blankly.
