In the cubicle of the Japanese restaurant, two men sit opposite each other on tatami mats behind the screen.

The large ceiling fan rotating on the roof brought a cool breeze, but it couldn't blow away the sorrow in Wu Yusen's heart. He held a translucent glass in his hand, and the soju in it was white and soft.

Xu Ke, who sat opposite Wu Yusen, had a handful of personable goatees, and he had just made a cameo appearance in Wu Yusen's new film "Two Tigers" as the role of a rich grandfather.

Half a glass of wine went down to his stomach, choking Wu Yusen coughed loudly, and his chest cavity seemed to be on fire, and it burned uncomfortably as if it had been torn into several pieces. He coughed and reached out to grab the porcelain bottle containing the soju, Xu Ke stretched out his hand to block it: "Drink slowly, otherwise you will get drunk in a while." ”

"I wish I hadn't woken up and been trouble-free ever since." A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Wu Yusen's mouth. Back then, when he was reused by Golden Harvest Film Company with comedy movies such as "Money Cold" and "Money is Strange", Xu Ke was still a newcomer who made three loss-making movies in a row. Wave director, now Xu Ke has set up his own film studio and has become a celebrity recruited by the three major film companies, but he can only make comedy movies in Taiwan, and the world is unpredictable.

At the beginning of the establishment of the new art city, Mecca, Ishida, and Huang Baiming came to Wu Yusen and asked him to help direct the entrepreneurial work after the company's reorganization. Wu Yusen has always valued the righteousness of his friends, but because of the contract with Golden Harvest, he had to use the pseudonym "Wu Shangfei" to help Xinyicheng shoot the comedy "Funny Times", which was a gratifying box office after its release, and got the first pot of gold for Xinyicheng.

Faced with the invitation of New Art City, Wu Yusen was unable to join because the contract with Golden Harvest was not complete, so he recommended Xu Ke to Mecca. Mecca used Xu Ke with a try-and-see attitude, but Xu Ke made a modern comedy "Ghost Horse Wisdom and Stars", which was applauded and popular, and suddenly turned over. Because Xinyicheng specializes in comedy and cannot meet Xu Ke's film concept of seeking innovation and change, at the end of 1982, Xu Ke started filming "Xinshushan Swordsman" for Jiahe, and after filming "The Queen's Secret Order of the Best Partner" for Xinyicheng, he and his wife Shi Nansheng founded a film studio. The outside world has been speculating about which film company funded Xu Ke's film studio to make films, but no one thought that it was the "Golden Princess" behind the new art city who supported Xu Ke.

Xu Ke was successful and lucky, but Wu Yusen began to be unlucky. After the expiration of the contract with Golden Harvest, he took refuge in Xinyicheng, which had many friends, but unfortunately the Xinyicheng at this time was full of talents, and Wu Yusen could not compete for a place, so the company was sent to Taiwan to fight the world.

Wu Yusen makes comedies just to make a living, what he really wants to make is a hero shootout movie, but unfortunately no one has given him a chance, and several comedies have not improved at the box office in Taiwan, everyone thinks that his comedies are outdated, even Wu Yusen himself thinks so, in addition to being depressed, he even thought of changing careers.

Xu Ke filled his wine glass with wine and persuaded Wu Yusen: "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, how do you know that you have no chance to make a comeback?" ”

Wu Yusen shook his head, only saying that he envied Xu Ke's good luck, but he didn't mention anything about his plans for movies.

"Recently, Golden Harvest announced that it would invest 80 million Hong Kong dollars to make a movie, have you heard the news?" Xu Ke suddenly mentioned another thing.

Wu Yusen has been depressed since he arrived in Taiwan, and he does not pay much attention to the news in the media, although the media in Taiwan has reported on this matter, but Wu Yusen has heard of it for the first time.

"80 million, I heard you right, right?" Wu Yusen patted his head vigorously to confirm that he was still awake.

"Surprised, huh?" Xu Ke took the wine glass in his hand and played with it, and said with a smile: "Although I also think it's incredible, there is no need for Jiahe to joke about this kind of thing." ”…,

Hearing that the old club is now so beautiful, Wu Yusen's heart is becoming more and more uncomfortable.

Xu Ke didn't notice Wu Yusen's lost expression, and continued to say: "Golden Harvest's "Baby Wisdom and Multi-star" filmed last year earned at least 100 million Hong Kong dollars overseas, and it is not surprising that there is such a big move this year. Oddly enough, the film hasn't been directed yet, and guess who's the executive producer of the film? ”

Wu Yusen was also intrigued by these words and asked who this person was.

Xu Ke brought the wine glass to his lips and took a sip, smacking his tongue, "That person was born a year ago, but the limelight has overshadowed many people, if you want to say who Hong Kong film companies want to cooperate with the most, this person should be the first." ”

"You're talking about Lin Youlun?" Wu Yusen has carefully studied the movie "Baby Wisdom and Stars", and is certainly no stranger to the screenwriter of the film. "This man is a genius, writing novels and scriptwriting, and doing both very well."

"What's more?" Xu Ke sighed, his eyes full of envy, "The only two movies in Hong Kong with a box office of more than 40 million are from his pen, Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers and Princess Jin are all trying to win him over in every possible way." Mr. Zou has invested a lot of money this time, and the script of Golden Harvest's new film is written by him. ”

Wu Yusen finally figured out some flavor from Xu Ke's words: "What, are you interested in the director of this movie?" ”

"I'm just curious about what kind of movie can be made with 80 million Hong Kong dollars." Xu Ke didn't say it directly, but if he wasn't impressed, it would definitely be a lie.

"Golden Harvest has invested so much, the goal is definitely not only the Hong Kong market, but also to break into international fashion, this film should do a lot of work on special effects." Wu Yusen's judgment is basically the same as Xu Ke's, which is why Xu Ke is very interested in this movie.

"Since it suits your appetite, why don't you talk to him?"

Xu Ke expected Wu Yusen to ask this question, and then said: "Hong Kong filmmakers always think that stunts are foreigners' things, and they cost money to do, and few people are willing to bother to really study these things. Besides, Golden Harvest probably doesn't want to see me as the director of this movie, so why should I be bored? ”

Wu Yusen sighed softly, "Even you say so, who else in Hong Kong can make this movie?" ”

"I'm hopeless, but you can try." As soon as Xu Ke's words changed, Wu Yusen was stunned for a moment.

"Me?" Wu Yusen pointed his finger at himself, then shook his head with a smile, "Don't joke with me, Lin Youlun is really as young as you say, I guess I haven't even heard of my name." ”

Xu Ke smiled mysteriously, "Do you think I went all the way to Taiwan just to find you for a drink?" ”

"Okay, you finally tell the truth, I know that you are not so kind, it turns out that you have another purpose." Wu Yusen was very depressed when he heard this, and he didn't think about it at first.

Xu Ke laughed and said nothing, Wu Yusen then reacted, his whole person was like a dry seedling moistened by the light rain, and suddenly came to his senses.

"Did you hear something?"

Xu Ke touched his mustache quite proudly, "That person has already arrived in Taiwan, who do you say he is looking for?" ”
