Chapter 36: Believer Wu Yusen

When he came out of the New Art City, Chen Ping'an had one more person by his side - Wu Yusen, who was assigned to Taiwan by the New Art City.

"Old Wu, I didn't recognize you just now, my attitude is not good, I'm sorry."

When he saw Wu Yusen for the first time, Chen Ping'an finally understood why Zhang Yijia's eyes were so strange just now, and there was a little sarcasm. The middle-aged man with a scruffy beard who was scolded by him for a long time was the Wu Yusen he was looking for.

Wu Yusen, born in 46, was invited by Xu Ke to pass through the new art city from Golden Harvest in 82, encountered a low point in his life, and the director's film department hit the street and was crowned with the title of "box office". Xinyicheng couldn't stand sending him to Taiwan, and this year he directed "The Laughing Craftsman", but the box office was still dismal.

When Chen Ping'an entered, Zhang Yijia was talking to him, and the topic of the conversation was "The Laughing Craftsman", which had not been painted long ago. This drama was his only work this year, and the box office was so dismal that Xinyicheng lost patience with him. He understands that Zhang Yijia just can't wipe off his face, but he is actually ordering him to take the initiative to resign, so that both parties will not be so embarrassed.

He also knows that this is not what Zhang Yijia meant, with Xu Ke establishing a film studio and dividing the river with the new art city, he, the street director who was introduced by Xu Ke to the new art city, will be cleared out of the team sooner or later.

He had been mentally prepared for this, and the only thing he didn't expect was that the young people who were making a big fuss in the company today actually invited him to be the assistant director.

"There's no need to say anything more after it's gone." Wu Yusen shook his head, "Mr. Chen really plans to ask me to be the assistant director?" ”

"Old Wu, listening to your tone, I don't have confidence in myself!"

Wu Yusen is nearly forty years old now, and the box office of the director's drama has been very dismal for several years, and he can't even recover his investment.

He shook his head and did not answer Chen Ping'an's question. Chen Ping'an patted him on the shoulder: "People can be defeated, but they can't be defeated." Lao Wu, you have to have confidence in yourself, I am very optimistic about you. ”

His tone made Wu Yusen cry and laugh, sighed and shook his head, and got into the car with Chen Ping'an.

"Go to Maruyama Hotel." Saying to the driver, Chen Ping'an continued to enlighten Wu Yusen, "Old Wu, the rainbow is always after the wind and rain, and the current depression is for the sake of soaring into the sky in the future." You have the potential, and you've proven yourself before. I firmly believe that you will become a great director in the world, not just in Hong Kong, you need to cheer up! ”

Wu Yusen, who is nearly forty years old, was repeatedly enlightened by a young man in his early twenties, which made him feel weird. He reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "Thank you Mr. Chen for your kindness, I know." ”

"You don't know!" Chen Ping'an suddenly raised his voice, and the bodyguard on the co-pilot quickly turned his head, "Wu Yusen, you still don't believe my words." I tell you that your future is bright, and now you are only blocked by a gate, and I am the one who will help you open that door. Have you ever heard the saying, believe in peace and have eternal life? As long as you believe in me, you can get a bright future. Now I will give you a chance to leave New Arts City and return to Hong Kong with me to join my Dark Horse International. When the time comes, I will write a script for you, and you will direct it. I conclude that this drama will be a turning point in your life and make you famous! ”

After a long time, Wu Yusen, who was showing his strength in Hollywood, sighed every time he thought of Chen Ping'an's words. He has said in interviews more than once that if there was no Chen Ping'an, there would be no Wu Yusen today, and the phrase "believe in peace and eternal life" has long been engraved on the motto of his life.

Yuanshan Hotel is a comprehensive hotel, and Zhang Zhaole not only arranged the reception banquet here, but also booked a room for Chen Ping'an here.

When Chen Ping'an took Wu Yusen into the room, Zhang Zhaole was already waiting inside, and when he saw him come in, Zhang Zhaole took the initiative to greet him: "Anzai, you're back, is things going well?" ”

"Uncle Le, sit down, you are an elder, I can't afford you like this."

"You can afford it!" Zhang Zhaole grabbed his arm, "Now the company is in an eventful season, and the brothers in the internal and external troubles are panicking...... If the duck bully knows about what you do, he will be very pleased. ”

"Uncle Le, I'm just here to make a movie, and it has nothing to do with the company, let alone someone."

"You're as stubborn as a duck bully. No matter if you recognize him or not, he is your old bean. The company is his brainchild, and I don't believe that you are not doing these things for him for the company. ”

Of course, it's not for him, I just want to change the pattern in the future and see if I can make this "Du" and that "Du" all stillborn.

Wu Yusen was stunned, in the past two or three years in Taiwan, he has made a lot of friends, and naturally he has heard of the name of the duck bully. And this young man who is full of arrogance in his words is actually the son of a duck bully...... Wu Yusen instantly felt like he was on a thief ship.

Sure enough, Zhang Jile noticed him: "Andy, he is ......"

"Oh, he's my newly recruited assistant director, and when the filming here is over, he'll meet me in Hong Kong and join my company, and he won't tell me about it, right, Lao Wu?"

Can I say no? Wu Yusen nodded helplessly: "Mr. Chen is my boss, I definitely don't dare to chew the root of my tongue." ”

Zhang Zhile nodded: "Since Andy trusts you, I won't say anything today." If I hear rumors about Andy's life story in the future, you know the consequences. ”

After a few people, Zhang Zhaole took out a box of high-quality Cuban cigars and threw it to Chen Ping'an, and glanced at Wu Yusen again. The latter understood, lit a cigar for Chen Ping'an, and wanted to give Zhang Jile some more, but Zhang Jile refused: "I don't smoke." You follow Andy well, and you will benefit from it. ”

Not to mention that Zhang Zhaole is nicknamed the white wolf, and his eyes are sharp, he has long seen that Wu Yusen does not really follow Chen Ping'an, and Chen Ping'an is also taking advantage of the situation to scare the other party, so he intends to cooperate.

Wu Yusen let out a sigh of relief and said, "Boss, why don't I go buy something to drink and come back?" ”

"Old Wu, you don't need to be like this, I believe in you, it's okay for you to listen." Chen Ping'an waved his hand to signal Wu Yusen to sit down, and then asked Zhang Zhaole: "Uncle Le, have you negotiated it all over the company?" ”

"Well, I talked to the people in the hall at noon today, and they all thank you very much, and they will never reveal your identity. No matter whether you succeed this time or not, the Bamboo Union Gang will never forget your help. ”

"It's too much of an outrageous thing to say, we're all our own people."

Zhang Jile smiled slyly: "My own people? So you admit to being a duck bully? ”

"Uncle Le, you and many elders are your own people, and I have nothing to do with him."

"Okay, if you say no, you won't have it. You have a good rest these days, and when I get in touch, I will come and pick you up in person. Do you want Uncle Le to arrange two little stars for you tonight? ”

It's really messy. Chen Ping'an shook his head: "Thank you Uncle Le for your kindness, the war is about to be distracted, forget about the stars or something." ”

After Zhang Zhaole left, Wu Yusen also offered to say goodbye, saying that he would go to the crew to report when the new drama started filming. Of course Chen Ping'an won't let him go, the iron needs to be struck while it's hot, he has to finalize Wu Yusen.

"Old Wu, you live here tonight, and I happen to talk to you about the play. This is a shootout movie, but also a gangster hero film......"

Gangster hero films? It's very much in line with who he is. At first, Wu Yusen was a little perfunctory, but with Chen Ping'an's detailed narration, his interest was aroused little by little, and in the end, he would even discuss the plot direction, character feelings, brotherhood and so on with Chen Ping'an, and completely devote himself to it.

“…… In the end, Pony was shot and killed, and Tan Cheng surrendered to the police and claimed that he would not be punished by the law if he had money. Applejack hands the gun to Hao, who shoots Tan Cheng to avenge the pony, then removes the handcuffs from Applejack's waist and puts them on his wrist. ”

It took more than an hour for Chen Ping'an to finally finish the plot of "The True Colors of Heroes", smoking a cigar and looking proudly at Wu Yusen, who was deeply trapped in it.

Twenty minutes later, Wu Yusen raised his head and asked meaningfully, "Boss, what is the name of this play?" ”

"The True Colors of Heroes."

"Heroic Nature...... Good name, apt. Can you show me the script? ”

"I haven't written it yet."

"Didn't you come to Taiwan this time to make this drama? Why haven't you written a script yet? Even if there's a rough one, it's fine. ”

"Who said I was going to make this movie this time?"

"Isn't it?" Wu Yusen was a little confused, after he thought that Chen Ping'an had been talking to him for so long, and even included some details, it was obviously conceived for a long time, and it must be a new drama to be filmed in Taiwan this time.

"Of course not." Chen Ping'an took out a script from his purse and handed it over, "This is what I'm going to start filming." ”

"Storyboard?" Wu Yusen was stunned, "Mr. Chen, you wrote this?" ”

After receiving an affirmative answer from Chen Ping'an, he looked at Chen Ping'an for the first time with the eyes of an insider. What Chen Ping'an left in his mind before, the impression of the arrogant and domineering prince completely disappeared.

After reading the script, Wu Yusen shook his head and said, "I can't shoot this book." ”

"Of course, this play doesn't fit your style, so you're my assistant director."

"That "True Colors of Heroes" ......"

Chen Ping'an's answer made Wu Yusen overjoyed: "Yours." You forgot that I told you on the way here, and I will prepare a script for you to pour out your long-standing frustration and revenge, prove your directorial talent to everyone, and show your violent aesthetic style to the world. How's it going, is there any confidence? ”

Wu Yusen wanted to answer "yes", but the failures over the years had dampened his confidence, and he couldn't speak with his mouth open.

Chen Ping'an frowned and said, "Forgot what I said?" Repeat to me, believe in peace and have eternal life. ”

"Believe in peace, and have eternal life." Wu Yusen repeated.

"Now you're answering me, do you have the confidence to shoot the drama "The True Color of Heroes"?"

"Yes!"

A miracle happened. The word that had been stuck in Wu Yusen's mouth for a long time blurted out, and all the former pride and ambition returned!
