After the Shaw Brothers reduced the film business, the Clear Water Bay studio was opened to be rented to other film companies for filming, and the movie "Never Sleepless" invested by Golden Harvest was filmed here during this time.

Cai Yan's father worked under Shao Yifu's brother in his early years, and after Cai Yan returned from studying film production in Japan, he joined Shaw Brothers and has been responsible for Shaw Brothers' cooperation with Japan. Later, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang rebelled out of Shaw Brothers and independently established Golden Harvest Film Company.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and as Fang Yihua came out of Shao Yifu to do things, Cai Yan's power was withdrawn little by little.

From the beginning of taking over the purchasing department, Fang Yihua gradually became the de facto head of Shaw Brothers, Cai Yan was gradually excluded, and in the early 80s, he could only resign gloomily, turned to the literary world, indulged in food, and wrote a lot of food reviews in newspapers, but became a household name in Hong Kong food experts.

After Zou Wenhuai learned about Cai Yan's situation, he felt that he had no talent, and it was a pity not to continue making movies, so he recruited him to Golden Harvest to be responsible for the co-production of multinational productions under the names of Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long, which can be regarded as continuing to exert his expertise.

With the establishment of the Hong Kong film classification system, Cai Yan set up his own "Dalu" film company, and cooperated with the Japanese side to produce a series of special effects cult films adapted from Japanese comics, which performed well at the box office. During this time. Cai Yan can be described as powerful.

"Ah Xin!"

Cai Yan put down the newspaper in his hand. casually shouted a name, waited for a while and saw no response, and when he turned his head to look, he found his assistant standing there with an embarrassed expression.

"Mr. Cai, you only let Ah Xin rest for two days yesterday, so he didn't come over today, do you think I called him and asked him to come over?" The assistant asked cautiously.

Cai Yan patted his head, how could he forget about this?

It has become a habit for Asin to do anything. Today he is not there, but he is a little unaccustomed.

"Well, you call him and tell him to come over at noon, I have something to talk to him." Cai Yan thought for a while and said.

——

Chen Kexin received a call from Cai Yan's assistant and immediately took a taxi to the Clear Water Bay studio.

Chen Kexin remembered that the other party told him on the phone that he was in Studio 3, but after entering, he found that he was in the wrong place, and this was a TVB TV crew filming.

After asking clearly, Chen Kexin was about to leave, when suddenly a sweaty girl ran over. Shouted: "What about the assistant? My throat is smoking! ”

Chen Kexin was slightly stunned, knowing that the other party regarded him as a staff member of the crew. But he didn't pick it, but handed over the mineral water that he hadn't drunk yet.

The girl took it and didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, unscrewed it and drank it, drank a third of it in one go, and when she wiped her mouth with her hand, she nodded to Chen Kexin, and then took the mineral water and left.

Chen Kexin felt that this girl was very familiar, but at this time, it was inconvenient to step forward and ask the other party's identity directly, and when she left the studio, she felt a little regretful in her heart.

By the time he saw Cai Yan, Chen Kexin had already squeezed the girl's affairs out of his mind, and he was only thinking about what important things Cai Yan would have if he came to him in a hurry this time.

"Ah Xin, you've been working as an assistant director and assistant producer by my side for more than two years, right?" Cai Yan beckoned to Chen Kexin and motioned for him to sit down.

"There are two months left to complete two years." Chen Kexin replied respectfully.

Cai Yan nodded, "I still remember the situation when Wu Yusen recommended you to me, I didn't expect that so long has passed in a blink of an eye, and you have learned a lot from me, how about it, do you have the idea to make a movie yourself?" ”

Chen Kexin was stunned for a moment, and then immediately showed an ecstatic expression on his face. He went to Wu Yusen's crew to help, and he fought by Cai Yan's side for so long, isn't it such an opportunity to wait?

In 1983, 21-year-old Chen Kexin made a very bold decision, he chose to return to Hong Kong from university and devote himself to the film industry. Three years later, he met Wu Yusen, who was preparing to shoot "The True Color of Heroes", and some of Chen Kexin's ideas made Wu Yusen greatly appreciated, and Chen Kexin soon joined the team to assist Wu Yusen in completing the film. After the filming of "The True Color of Heroes", Wu Yusen recommended Chen Kexin to Cai Yan, and then Chen Kexin has been working as an assistant director and assistant producer by Cai Yan's side.

Unable to hold back the excitement in his heart, Chen Kexin stood up directly from the chair, and Cai Yan had to reach out again to signal him to sit down.

"Okay, don't get too excited, listen to what I've to say." Cai Yan paused, and then said: "I don't have a movie that suits you, but I know that there is a good opportunity for you, and I can talk to the producer of that movie, and I think you can fight for that movie." ”

Seeing the puzzled expression on Chen Kexin's face, Cai Yan handed over a piece of newspaper pressed under his hand, "You take a look at this first." ”

Chen Kexin took the newspaper and looked at it, and found that the content above was about Lin Youlun preparing to shoot a new film.

"Mr. Cai, you mean to let me go ......" Chen Kexin didn't say the rest of the words, because even he felt that it was a little unlikely.

Cai Yan nodded affirmatively, "I know what you're worried about, I can't guarantee others, but Mr. Lin will definitely not exclude you just because you are a newcomer." Mr. Lin has never played cards according to common sense, and among the directors in his hands, Liu Zhenwei and Liu Weiqiang were all directors for the first time, and you have a big similarity with these two people is that although you have not made a movie yourself, your experience in this area is not worse than that of ordinary directors, and your advantage is that you are a film professional, so the key depends on whether your performance can satisfy Mr. Lin. ”

Chen Ke smiled bitterly and shrugged, "But I can't see Mr. Lin at all?" ”

Cai Yan waved his hand, "You don't have to worry about this, in the first Miss Asia finals, I had a relationship with Mr. Lin, and I have been running a column in "Ming Pao" over the years, and I can also have some relationship with Mr. Lin, and the main thing is that some time ago I made those special effects movies, all of which were cooperating with Mr. Lin's Aurora special effects company, and the person in charge of Aurora, Lan Naicai, is very familiar with me, so I can still ask him for help. ”

Chen Kexin was overjoyed when he heard this, he felt that with Cai Yan coming forward, this matter was basically half done, but Cai Yan still felt unsafe.

"It's one thing for me to recommend you to Mr. Lin, it's another thing for Mr. Lin to use you, you are not the only one staring at the position of this director, and there are many people who can speak in front of Mr. Lin, so in order to be more secure, you also need to find another person to help you."

As soon as Cai Yan's words fell, Chen Kexin immediately reacted, knowing that he was talking about Wu Yusen.

"Wu Yusen and Mr. Lin have worked directly, so he must be more effective than me, and he has filmed "Legend of the Night" and knows Honggu very well, and the heroine of Mr. Lin's new film is Honggu, if he is willing to help recommend, the probability of you being selected will be greatly increased."

"Then I'll go to Director Wu to talk about this in the past two days?" Chen Kexin was still a little undecided.

"The sooner the better, because you must not be the only one who is looking for Wu Yusen to help." Cai Yan sees the problem more deeply than Chen Kexin.

After being reminded by Cai Yan, Chen Kexin also realized that this matter could not be delayed, and immediately decided to visit Wu Yusen's house in the evening.

Cai Yan looked for Chen Kexin for such a thing, and after instructing Chen Kexin a few words, he asked him to go back and prepare, and at the same time asked him to wait for news from his side.

Chen Kexin came out of the studio, thinking about what Cai Yan told him, and didn't pay much attention to the road, and when he walked towards the gate of the studio, he accidentally bumped into a person.

"I'm sorry......" Chen Kexin raised his head and was about to apologize, but found that the person he bumped into was the girl he met in the wrong studio before.

"It's you!" The girl patted Chen Kexin on the shoulder very boyishly, "I looked for you everywhere after filming just now, and only after asking did I know that you are not from the crew, and I am embarrassed to drink your water." Your bottle of water helped me a lot, and the next few sets of shots I shot smoothly, thanks thank you! ”

"You're Wu Junru!" Chen Kexin finally recognized the identity of the girl, no wonder he always felt that the other party was a little familiar, it turned out to be a member of the wireless "Nine Dragon Girl".

"Okay, don't make a fuss, I'm not as famous as you think!" Wu Junru's words are somewhat self-deprecating, her appearance can only be ranked at the bottom of the "Nine Dragon Girl", and it is all due to her own efforts that she has today's results.

But compared with others, Wu Junru is not only inferior in appearance, but also in her favor by chance and luck.

After the success of the "Five Tiger Generals" collective star-making, Wireless launched the "Nine Dragon Girl", which was still the name that Huang Zhan helped come up with. Among them, Mei Yanfang has long been the eldest sister in the music industry, and she has developed in the film industry in the past two years, and she has easily won many awards; Qiu Shuzhen and Zhang Manyu have gained a firm foothold in the film industry; Liu Jialing rose to the top with scandals, and she was also actively developing into the film industry during this time; Zeng Huanqian, Luo Meiwei, and Shangshan Shina, who continue to stay in wireless, are also the protagonists of various TV series; Even Lan Jieying, who was hidden by the high-level, recently heard that she was going to make a comeback to filming, only Wu Junru was the only one, and she can only play some important supporting roles in TV series.

Because of the bottle of water, Wu Junru decided to invite Chen Kexin to dinner, in other words, Chen Kexin must have agreed without hesitation, but tonight he planned to go to Wu Yusen, and the itinerary conflicted with Wu Junru's invitation.

[Chen Kexin and Wu Junru should be regarded as a model couple in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, even Xu Ke and Shi Nanwei, the old husband and wife, failed to reach the bottom of the line, Chen and Wu can let everyone continue to believe in love, speaking of love, today happens to be a festival, although there is definitely no place to snow today, but I still bless the world's lovers to be able to hold hands and go all the way to Baitou!
