In the face of the gradual decline of Shaw Brothers films and the reality that his acting career is becoming more and more unsmooth, Chow Yun-fat was finally unable to resist Jiang Ran's lobbying and agreed to join Ran Feng.

Of course, Chow Yun-fat must pass the hurdle of Run Run Shaw if he wants to join Ran Feng smoothly, but when facing the actor's own wishes and a financier like Ran Feng, Jiang Ran is sure that he can convince Run Run Shaw.

After Jiang Ran met Chow Yun-fat and reached a consensus with him, he was about to contact Shaw Brothers when Wu Yusen found Jiang Ran.

Wu Yusen's face was not good-looking, and when he saw Jiang, he said with some shame: "Mr. Jiang, I'm very sorry, I still haven't found a suitable script in the company's editorial department." You are a well-known director in Hong Kong and a well-known editor, I hope you can give me some advice. ”

John Woo was indeed a little uneasy, before joining Ran Feng, he told Jiang Ran that he didn't want to continue making comedy movies, and Jiang Ran also gave him a promise at that time to let him choose his favorite theme.

But the problem now is that John Woo doesn't have a good idea of what kind of subject he wants to choose for the movie he wants to shoot, and he now feels that no matter what the subject matter is, it seems to be a little bit less interesting.

Jiang Ran waved his hand and motioned for Wu Yusen to sit down and said.

After seeing him do it, Jiang Ran asked, "Director Wu, you are too polite." Although the company's editorial department does not have many sealed scripts now, some of the ideas in it are still quite interesting, since you have not found the right scripts and ideas in it, then I have an idea here, you can listen to it first, maybe it will help you. ”

"Mr. Jiang, you have provided me with lenient conditions, and now I have not found a suitable breakthrough myself, this is my problem. So no matter what you arrange, Mr. Jiang, I will obey the company's orders, even if I am asked to shoot a comedy, I have no complaints. Wu Yusen was a little self-blaming, and even a little confused and unconfident assured Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran looked at Wu Yusen's current state, and suddenly didn't dare to hand over the movie "The True Color of Heroes" to him. John Woo is obviously facing a bottleneck in directing now, and he can't find his own positioning and direction, if he rashly gives him this classic movie, Jiang Ran doesn't know if he can still shoot the level of his previous life, after all, there is a few years difference in time.

Jiang Ran was hesitating, but when he noticed Wu Yusen's eyes, he had already made a decision in his heart, because Jiang Ran saw not only anxiety and guilt in Wu Yusen's eyes, but also gloom and lack of confidence, and unconfidence from the heart.

This is obviously not the result that Jiang Ran wants to see, if Wu Yusen becomes unconfident because of this, then Jiang Ran does not dare to guarantee that he can reach the level of his previous life in the future, after all, the environment has changed too much for people.

"Director Wu, I remember that you studied film with Director Zhang Che, and before you made comedy movies, you also shot kung fu movies. But now kung fu movies in Hong Kong have obviously hit a bottleneck, so we can't continue to make kung fu schools. ”

Jiang Ran said, glanced at Wu Yusen, saw that he was seriously considering his words, smiled and said, "In this case, can we tell the story from a different angle." ”

"What does Mr. Jiang mean?" Wu Yusen looked up at Jiang Ran and asked thoughtfully.

"Director Zhang Che's film is masculine and violent, with a strong heroic atmosphere, we can retain this connotation, change the time sequence to the modern era, and then replace the martial arts scenes in it with gunfights, and make a gunfight hero film, what do you think?"

Jiang Ran said to Wu Yusen a little excitedly, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Wu Yusen with fixed eyes, he didn't know if his thoughts would resonate with Wu Yusen, if not, then Wu Yusen was really not suitable for directing this play.

After listening to Jiang Ran's words, Wu Yusen's heart moved, he felt that this was a good idea, and he was still sure of Zhang Che's set.

Thinking of this, Wu Yusen raised his head and said to Jiang Ran: "Mr. Jiang, I think this idea of yours is very interesting, I can try it." ”

Jiang Ran was a little disappointed with Wu Yusen's reflection, although Wu Yusen's eyes had recognition, but there was no passion. But in Jiang Ran's view, if the director of a movie like "The True Color of Heroes" does not have that kind of blood and passion, it is not easy to shoot an infectious picture.

Although he was not satisfied with John Woo's reaction, Jiang Ran did not plan to give up the movie "The True Color of Heroes", and he hoped that through the filming of this movie, he could help John Woo find his future direction.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran showed an apologetic look on his face, and kept explaining: "Director Wu, I'm sorry! It's my fault, I didn't make it clear." ”

"Actually, I came to you today to talk about this movie because I hope to co-direct it with you, and of course, I hope that this idea of mine can help you. ”

After Wu Yusen listened to Jiang Ran's words, his mind was clouded, he always thought that Jiang Ran talked to him about ideas in order to give him some ideas, but he didn't expect the plot to reverse so quickly, although it did point him in a direction, but it was indeed incidental.

Wu Yusen thought about it carefully, Jiang Ran really didn't say to him from beginning to end that this movie was prepared by him, and he only then remembered that Jiang Ran's achievements in the directorial career were higher than him, so with a good idea, it was natural for him to direct by himself.

Wu Yusen was ashamed of his self-inflicted amorousness, and he was also a little annoyed that Jiang Ran didn't make things clear before, but no matter how annoyed he was, he could only suppress this anger in his heart, who called someone else the boss.

"It's me who is passionate about it, but even if it's a co-director, with Mr. Jiang's ability, directing such a movie is an easy task, but I hope to be able to do chores in the crew, learn from Mr. Jiang, and sort out my own ideas by the way"

Wu Yusen obviously didn't think that Jiang Ran would really need him to co-direct, so he said modestly while laughing bitterly and teasing himself.

"Director Wu, I really hope to co-direct with you. Actually, I wanted to shoot this movie for a long time, but I have never been sure that I can shoot the passionate and heroic picture of director Zhang Che, so I hope to complete this film with you, and by the way, let me learn your directing art. ”

After Jiang Ran finished speaking, he apologized again while explaining: "I was afraid of affecting your movie ideas, so I didn't tell you about it at first. I was hoping to find more inspiration in our conversations, which would have helped you, so I didn't explain to you about the co-directing at the beginning, which is my fault. ”

After listening to Jiang Ran's words, Wu Yusen was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he said with a smile on his face: "Since Mr. Jiang likes me, then I won't postpone it anymore." ”

Jiang Ran was also relieved when he saw that Wu Yusen agreed, he was originally going to hand over the movie to Wu Yusen, but now he has encircled himself, Jiang Ran is quite helpless about this.

"Director Wu, with your joining, the two of us are together, I believe that this movie will definitely surprise the Hong Kong audience, we wish this cooperation a happy one!" Jiang Ran stretched out his right hand to John Woo with an excited face.

"Happy cooperation!" Wu Yusen said with a smile and holding Jiang Ran's hand.

Jiang Ran withdrew his outstretched hand, and said slightly apologetically: "Director Wu, it's almost the end of the year now, and I often have some things to deal with in the group and the company, so during the production of this movie, I may need you to bear more." ”

"Mr. Jiang, you don't have to be polite, I will try my best to give you a good start. John Woo put his position in the future crew very low.

Jiang Ran did not object to John Woo's words, he really didn't dare to hand over the dominance of this movie to John Woo now, otherwise he wouldn't have directed this movie.
