Takigawa Yumi also noticed that Wu Changyun seemed a little dissatisfied. She gritted her teeth and did not leave directly. Instead, she looked at Wu Changyun and asked, "Teacher, do you have any questions?"
"No, no problem." Wu Changyun didn't expect that his emotions were written on his face.
"I understand." Takigawa Yumi turned around and left helplessly.
After several subsequent rounds of interviews, Wu Changyun never saw a role that particularly impressed him. Instead, Liang Chaowei made his mark. Liang Chaowei, who was only eleven years old, had a vague concept of acting, but he was quite liked by Yuan Aijia.
"As expected, a handsome boy in childhood is still a handsome boy." Wu Changyun smiled bitterly in his heart. This is what they call God's gift.
Liang Chaowei's father was addicted to gambling, which caused Liang Chaowei to look a little timid during the performance. However, this just fits the character of the little boy in the play who has been seeing ghosts for many years. It was really a blessing in disguise.
Throughout the whole process, Liang Chaowei would look at Yuan Aiga from time to time, waiting for her to give the next instructions.
"Don't be afraid. Although this is the first time we meet, just treat us as brothers, sisters, uncles and friends." Wu Changyun said.
Liang Chaowei nodded. His image completely met all of Wu Changyun's requirements for the script. The rest depended on his ability to pull it off. Zhou Xujiang was somewhat skeptical of Wu Changyun's decision to cast an introverted and somewhat timid child for such an important role, even without a backup plan. This was a little confusing for Zhou Xujiang.
During a break, Zhou Xujiang found Wu Changyun in the bathroom and said, "Isn't your decision a bit hasty? This leaves no room for retreat during filming."
"What? Are you not satisfied with his image?" Wu Changyun asked back while looking in the mirror.
"It's not that question. I just think he's not cut out for acting."
Wu Changyun smiled, and he remembered the story of Liang Chaowei and Stephen Chow going to interview for night school.
"What are you laughing at?"
Zhou Xujiang was somewhat dissatisfied with Wu Changyun's reaction. He had seen Wu Changyun's name listed as screenwriter when he received the company's invitation, and he was already curious about how this year's hot new director ended up in the screenwriter column. After reading the script, he had to acknowledge Wu Changyun's talent, but he had also seen many actors and directors who were arrogant because of their talent, and now he had further confirmed his belief.
Seeing that Zhou Xujiang was really angry, Wu Changyun had no choice but to explain, "I know that kid. He may seem a little lacking now, but once the filming actually starts, it only takes a while of guidance for him to become a very amazing actor."
"Time, shooting is no joke."
Zhou Xujiang still couldn't agree with Wu Changyun's optimistic idea. According to normal thinking, he would definitely confirm the actors first and then start filming, rather than relying on filming to cultivate the actors' sense of immersion.
"Okay, man, your current thoughts are all correct, but please believe that the child will definitely bring you a surprise."
Wu Changyun pushed Zhou Xujiang from behind and left the bathroom. Zhou Xujiang was still sulking.
The main reason why Yuan Aijia found Zhou Xujiang to be the director was "Ghost Bride" directed by him last year. This film produced by Shaw Brothers Film Company won 1.42 million in Hong Kong box office in 1973, ranking 79th in Hong Kong box office that year. By the way, the box office champion that year was Bruce Lee's "Way of the Dragon" with a Hong Kong box office of 53.07 million, and the second was "Fist of Fury".
Wu Changyun did not doubt Zhou Xujiang's ability, but was afraid that he would make the entire film into a complete horror movie, which went against the original intention of "The Sixth Sense".
"Um, Teacher Wu, can I talk to you?" Takigawa Yumi asked, leaning against the wall.
Wu Changyun was pushing Zhou Xujiang forward and was a little surprised to see Takigawa Yumi. He didn't expect that she hadn't left yet.
"OK."
Wu Changyun would definitely not refuse to have a heart-to-heart talk with a beautiful woman. In fact, they are about the same age.
"Teacher Wu, I've seen the movie you made."
"Uh..." Wu Changyun felt a chill in his heart. You know, his movies reflect the national spirit and contain many plots of fighting against the Japanese.
"I don't know, maybe it's because I'm Japanese..."
"No." Wu Changyun denied. In fact, the truly hateful ones were the extreme communists and the soldiers who blindly followed them. Wu Changyun would always remember history, but for a country with tens of millions of citizens, they could not all be killed with one blow.
"So Teacher Wu doesn't approve of me?"
Looking at Takigawa Yumi lowering her head and suppressing her grievances, Wu Changyun was speechless. He didn't expect that Japanese idols were so fragile inside. When he thought about the fanaticism of Japanese star-chasing, it was simply unimaginable.
