Chapter 41 A Star-Studded Dinner



Brigitte Lin has very delicate facial features, especially her chin. On her face, one can see the angularity and three-dimensionality that are unique to European and American actresses, plus the youthfulness that is unique to a 20-year-old.

Brigitte Lin seemed to notice Wu Changyun's gaze and deliberately avoided it. When Wu Changyun came to his senses, it was obvious that Sammo Hung and Chan Kong-sang beside him had the same feeling.

"Can't we be more gentlemanly?" Sammo Hung asked deliberately.

"Then why don't you show it to me?" Wu Changyun saw that he looked eager to try.

At Wu Changyun's instigation, Sammo Hung walked towards Brigitte Lin, but soon he returned empty-handed.

"See, I told you you couldn't do it." Chen Gangsheng joked.

"Alas, I just walked over and someone from their company stopped me."

As Sammo Hung said, judging from Brigitte Lin's reaction, she probably hasn't fully adapted to this kind of life in the entertainment industry.

"By the way, what did Takigawa Yumi tell you today?" Yuan Aijia suddenly remembered and asked.

"I'm not sure she's up to the role."

"Did you just tell her that directly?"

"Of course not. She even left me a small card from her agent."

Wu Changyun took it out and saw a Chinese name written on the card.

"Ms. Zhou? Is this her agent?"

"Why, that's not quite in line with the rules, is it?"

Yuan Aijia nodded and held up the small card, saying, "There are many irregular agencies in Hong Kong right now. They recruit female artists who don't understand the real situation and sign all sorts of contracts."

"I just didn't expect that a foreign idol would come to audition." Yuan Aijia returned the card to Wu Changyun.

"Who is this?" The person who spoke was Xia Meng, the eldest of the three princesses of the Great Wall. She was wearing a cheongsam and standing in front of Yuan Aiga, looking at Wu Changyun and his group.

"Sister, he is the screenwriter. As for the other gentlemen, please introduce them yourself." Yuan Aijia replied with a smile.

"Ah, my name is Chen Gangsheng, we are brothers from the same school, and this is my elder brother." Chen Gangsheng pointed at Sammo Hung.

Xia Meng gives people the feeling of a big sister from a noble family. Her manners are elegant and polite. Unlike everyone else who is cheerful and noisy, she is more self-disciplined and conservative.

The main purpose of today's evening party is to introduce the Zhengke Film Co., Ltd. that Yuan Aijia has just established. In a sense, it can be regarded as a legacy from the old generation to the new generation. The most important thing is the personal connections of these older generations.

Wu Changyun walked alone to the study upstairs. Compared to the noise downstairs, the environment here was more comfortable. There, he unexpectedly saw Chen Gangsheng leaning against the window, looking out. This year was a turning point for Chen Gangsheng. He switched from Peking Opera and film to doing business in Macau, which was a challenge in every aspect.

"It's hard to buy a house like this in Hong Kong even if you have money." Wu Changyun came close to Chen Gangshen and lit a cigarette.

"That movie you made last year was really great. I just didn't get to tell you, but I saw the action in the movie and it really moved me."

"Touched?" Wu Changyun was a little surprised.

"Yes, actually, when a martial artist is acting out a lot of fighting moves, the moves they perform have to look cool and have that tough-guy vibe, but yours is different." Chan Kong-sang said as he started to gesticulate, even doing a few punching and kicking moves. Then, calming down, he continued, "Really, I really enjoy watching your movies."

"I think Bruce Lee had a huge influence on Hong Kong action movies. His influence is still evident in many of them."

"Everyone is imitating him." Chan Kong-sang has no interest in this topic. This is a fact that everyone has tacitly accepted. The box office results are there. What is good and right is all determined by the box office.

People like Jackie Chan and Yuen Wah are skilled in kung fu and have even played the role of Bruce Lee's stunt double. Many film companies would find them and hope that they would become the second Bruce Lee. But in fact, no one can become the second Bruce Lee. In Hong Kong in 1974, only Wu Changyun understood this truth.

"One day, you will have the opportunity to realize your ideas, and then you will definitely succeed," said Wu Changyun.

"I have made up my mind to go to Macau."

Wu Changyun was amused by Chen Gangsheng's confident attitude and said jokingly, "You will come back sooner or later. I hope we can work together once there is a chance."

What Wu Changyun actually thought in his heart was that once Chen Gangsheng really returned to Hong Kong, the relationship between the two of them would be that of competitors.

"There's probably no chance."

Chen Gangsheng could only treat Wu Changyun's unfounded words as a joke. If he really had the opportunity to return to Hong Kong to make a movie, it might be God's arrangement.
