Clear Water Bay, Tai Po Chai, Shaw Studios.

"Field affairs, field affairs, speed to clear people out, hurry up!"

The assistant director directed the field affairs to clean up all the idle personnel in the shooting scene.

"Yes, yes. ”

The field manager nodded in agreement, and immediately ran out to drive out all the tricks and crew members who were surrounding outside and were ready to watch the next passionate scene, and ordered a few people to stand guard at the door, who dared to come over and don't want to work anymore.

After it was done, the field manager ran and said, "Deputy director, everyone has been cleaned up." ”

"It's all clean?" said the assistant director, tilting his head and laughing.

The field attendant patted his chest and promised: "Yes, it is absolutely clean, I promise that no one will peep!"

"Huh. The assistant director sneered and said, "Aren't you human?"

"I'm going out too?!" the field attendant was stunned.

"Nonsense, don't get out yet!"

Seeing the assistant director lose his temper, the field manager opened the door and went out, feeling a burst of regret in his heart, he originally thought that he would use his identity as a field manager to get by, but who would have thought that he would be kicked out.

After the others left, the assistant director searched the room again, and confirmed that there was no one else except the director, himself, and the photographer, so he ran to the director and said: "Director Chu, everyone has been cleaned up, and now there are only three of us left, you can call Miss He and Miss Bei." ”

Chu Yuan waved his hand: "Well, go and call someone, by the way, tell the people outside, whoever dares to look secretly, I will be the first to spare him!"

"Yes. The assistant director got his life, turned around and went out.

The next passion scene can be said to be the top priority of the whole film, and there must be no mistakes, although this scene does not have too many exposed shots, but after all, it is a passion scene, which is still rare in the film industry at this time, and it is still two women, so it is even rarer, so what the crew outside is thinking, Chu Yuan naturally knows, so he has to clear the scene directly.

Speaking of "Ainu" directed by Chu Yuan, it can be said to be the first lesbian movie in Hong Kong's history, and the storyline is very simple. It tells the story of a weak girl in ancient times, Jin E, who was sold into a brothel and forced to pick up customers, was bullied, grieved and angry, pretended to flatter, and assumed the pseudonym Ainu;

In general, there are not many nude shots in this movie, most of them just show their arms or thighs or something, which is not as good as the master Li Hanxiang, but because there is a scene where two women wear tulle costumes, it can be called a third-level film in Hong Kong in the 70s, of course, there is no division of film levels now.

If you put aside the colored glasses, this movie is really good, not only gorgeous and weird, but also has a unique style, and it has received many praises after its release, which can be regarded as one of Chu Yuan's best masterpieces.

Chu Yuan looked at the next script, frowning and thinking about whether to change it, when he suddenly realized why the assistant director hadn't come yet, and turned his head and asked the photographer: "What time is it?"

"Two o'clock, Director Chu. The photographer replied with a glance at his watch.

"Where's the assistant director?"

"I don't know, I haven't come here yet. ”

"How long has it been?"

"It should have been ten minutes. ”

Hearing that it had been more than ten minutes, Chu Yuan frowned, the heroine's lounge was less than a hundred meters away from here, even if she walked ten meters in a minute, she had not come over at this time, and she couldn't help but be angry.

Just as he was about to get angry, the assistant director opened the door out of breath and ran in.

Seeing that he was the only one coming, and the heroine was no longer there, Chu Yuan frowned and asked, "Where is He Lili?"

The assistant director gasped: "Director Chu doesn't... Oh no, Miss He was taken away by Director Li's people. ”

"What!"

Chu Yuan stood up from the director's seat with a bang, his face full of surprise, and then turned to anger.

……

Ten minutes later, the production department of the Shaw Brothers set.

Chu Yuan complained to the director of the production department: "Director He, what does this Director Li mean? I filmed so well that I snatched my heroine, what does he mean?!"

Director He made a cup of tea, brought it to him, and said, "Director Chu dissipates his anger, let's drink a cup first." ”

Chu Yuan, who was already annoyed in his heart, saw Director He's prevarication, and his heart became even more angry, he took the teacup and didn't drink it, and continued: "I'm about to finish filming, can't he Li Hanxiang wait a few days? Even if he told me in advance, I could shoot other people's scenes, and let me wait for a few hours with the people below, what is the matter? ”

"Enough!"

Director He saw that Chu Yuan was talking more and more unlikely, and he also involved the big boss, so he shouted: "Chu Yuan is honest with you, this is what I arranged, you should know that the company has been filming a big drama recently, and your movie is not even a fraction of it, so you have to back off." ”

Chu Yuan also knew that he had said the wrong thing, but he still argued: "I'll finish filming soon, the heroine's scene can be filmed in two days, Director He will do me a favor." ”

Director He said: "I said, this is what I arranged, since you can shoot the heroine's scene in two days, you can just find a stand-in!"

"......"

Without waiting for him to say more, Director He issued an eviction order: "You go back first, you can rest for a while after this movie is finished." ”

There are always all kinds of words, and seeing that Director He has made up his mind, Chu Yuan had no choice but to sigh, nodded and said, "I know." ”

Chu Yuan, who was depressed, returned to the crew and asked the assistant director to find a female dragon suit that was very similar to the heroine He Lili, added enough money, and finished filming the scene that night.

……

At night, inside a food stall.

One person said indignantly: "Brother Chu, we all came to Shaw Brothers with you from Cathay, and now filming is blocked everywhere, today the heroine was snatched away, will you even have to give up the venue to those old people tomorrow!"

Someone laughed at himself: "No way, we are Qi Zai (godsons)! ”

Seeing a few old guys sighing there, Chu Yuan felt uncomfortable, he began to make movies in 1958, and in 60 years he made a classic "Pity the Heart of the World's Parents", but with the loneliness of Cantonese films and the rise of Chinese films, his life was not comfortable.

Finally joined Cathay two years ago and filmed his first Chinese martial arts film "Long Muxiang", but before he could taste it, Cathay went out of business. He and a few old guys also defected to the name of the Shaw Brothers, and at first the Shaw Brothers' treatment of Chu Yuan could be said to be first-class, but during this time, with the return of Li Hanxiang, there was obviously a sense of differential treatment.

Chu Yuan sighed and said, "Alas, okay, let's finish filming this movie first." ”

Seeing Director Chu speak, everyone didn't talk about it anymore, and continued to drink to relieve their boredom.

After the night ended, one person helped Chu Yuan back to rest.

When he got home, Chu Yuan left the man behind: "Xiaozhi, do you have something?"

Xiao Zhi hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Brother Chu, I won't hide it from you, there is a newly opened film company recruiting directors recently, and I want to try it." ”

"Try it, you've been with me for many years, and you can already make films independently. Xiao Zhi can be said to be the apprentice he brought out single-handedly, and he is naturally happy that he has a good future, but he doesn't know how the new film company is, so he asked curiously: "Which film company is it?"

"Huanyu Film Company, I heard that the boss is Huo Yaowen. ”

"Huo Yaowen, that great writer?"

Now most people's first impression of Huo Yaowen is that he is a great writer!

Xiao Zhi nodded: "It's him, I think a writer as big as Mr. Huo is definitely not casual to open a film company, so I want to give it a try." ”

"Well, let's try it. Chu Yuan agreed.

"Actually......"

Xiao Zhi hesitated for a few seconds, but still said: "Brother Chu, I feel that you can also try it, the treatment given by Huanyu Company is very good, in addition to the monthly salary, each director can get a director fee for making a movie, and if the box office is good after the release, you can also get a big red envelope." ”

"Go to the Universal ......"

Chu Yuan thought of the anger he received in the afternoon, clenched his fist, let go again, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I won't go, it's better to be safe in Shao's." ”

……

Early the next morning, Xiao Zhi went to the office building of Huanyu Film Company for an interview.

The person who interviewed him was Wen Yingguang.

"You said that you have been learning to make movies behind Chu Yuan before?"

"Yes, Manager Wen. ”

Wen Yingguang is not a stranger to Chu Yuan, when he was in Taiwan with Li Hanxiang in the early years, he had heard Chu Yuan's name and watched his movies, so he was a good director, but wasn't he at Cathay Pacific before?

"Okay, the interview is over, you go back and wait for the call. ”

"Yes. ”

"By the way, you call the ...... in the back" Wen Yingguang glanced at the list of interviews behind him and said, "Wu Yusen, you call Wu Yusen." ”

"Okay, Manager Wen. Xiao Zhi nodded, turned around and went out, and among the many directors who came to the interview, he shouted "Wu Yusen" and asked him to go in for an interview.

Wu Yusen entered the interview room tremblingly, and hurriedly said after seeing Wen Yingguang: "Hello Manager Wen." ”

"Well, no need to be polite, let's talk about whether you have any experience directing. ”

"I have directed, but I didn't make films alone, I have been studying behind director Zhang Che before, and later when I was filming "New One-armed Knife", I had the privilege of directing a plot. ”

Hearing this, Wen Yingguang became interested and asked, "Oh? ”

It was the part where Jiang Dawei was forced to cut off his right arm. ”

recalled that episode, Wen Yingguang looked at John Woo in surprise, that scene was really well filmed, but I didn't expect it to be filmed by the young man in front of him.

"Why do you think that coming to our Huanyu Company and following Zhang Che will not have a greater chance to make a film?"

"Yes, but I want to make my own story, I heard that Huanyu is currently looking for directors and screenwriters, and I think I can realize my dream of writing and directing myself. ”

"Huh. ”

Wen Yingguang laughed twice, this person is quite upright, after looking at his resume, he has long-term experience in the crew, he has studied behind Director Zhang Cheda for two years, and he has also directed and filmed a scene, so he is a good candidate for a rookie director.

"Okay, you can go back and wait for the phone call first. ”

"Yes. Wu Yusen nodded and walked out of the interview room nervously.

After all the interviews were over, Wen Yingguang glanced at the few people who had ticked the boxes, and only three of them in total felt good, but there were still further interviews to be done.

However, a rookie director is always a rookie director, and the general manager means to directly dig a well-known director, and these three people may not be able to make a difference.

Thinking of this, Wen Yingguang had a headache, thought about it for a long time, and inexplicably thought of Chu Yuan in his mind, he jumped from Cathay Pacific to Shaw Brothers, and he should not have a deep relationship with Shaw Brothers, so I don't know if I can dig it up.

With an idea, when Wen Yingguang called Xiao Zhi the next day, he casually asked about Chu Yuan's situation, and after some inquiry, he learned that Chu Yuan's life in the Shaw Brothers was not very satisfactory, which immediately made him happy.

Hanging up the phone, Wen Yingguang touched his chin, going to Shaw Brothers to poach people will obviously offend Boss Shao, but not going to poach people will offend his boss, thinking about it, he thinks that it is still worth offending Boss Shao, after all, who let Huo Yaowen be the boss who pays him a salary.
