Chapter 698: Loaned Wu Yusen
Zhong Chuhong couldn't help but blush more and more when she heard Xu Guanwu tease her, and was about to say something, but she heard Zhao Yazhi's gossip, "Who is Fa Zai's girlfriend, why haven't you heard anyone mention it?" ”
"Didn't you?! Hey, no, they're doing that well with secrecy? You often film with him, don't you even notice it? Xu Guanwu said suspiciously.
"Okay, let's sell less, who the hell is it? I don't recognize it, pretty or not? Zhao Yazhi asked with great interest.
"Wow, you're addicted to being a host, you've become such a." Xu Guanwu smiled, "Okay, but to tell you, don't spread the word, I also found out by extreme chance." ”
Xu Guanwu said, quietly approaching Zhao Yazhi's ear and saying the name, "Huh?!" Oh my God, how could it be her? ”
"Who?!" Zhong Chuhong also asked curiously, she also knew that Zhou Yanfa was a very handsome man, and since they were going to work together this time, it would be beneficial to know more about it in advance.
"No, the two of them are a little bit apart, how did they come together?" Zhao Yazhi continued to say suspiciously, "When I was filming "Shanghai Tang" with him last year, I didn't notice it. ”
"That's why people do a good job of secrecy. That's right, now Fa Zai's career is on the rise, and she is also a little flower girl that the TV station focuses on cultivating, if the two of them make their relationship public now, it will indeed cause a lot of trouble. Xu Guanwu nodded with a smile and said, "If I were them, I would choose to keep it secret first." ”
"Ahh Who the hell are you talking about? Tell me quickly. Rushed to death. Zhong Chuhong's eyes widened and asked, "Could it be that Fa Tsai's girlfriend is a female artist of the TV station, who could it be?!" ”
"Okay, don't gossip like this for now," Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "I've already said hello to Ming Sir from Xinghui Art School, and all three of you will have to learn dance with him for a while." When the time comes, you'll be able to investigate on your own. ”
When Zhong Chuhong heard that Xu Guanwu deliberately hung her appetite, she couldn't help but glare at Xu Guanwu with disgust. Eye twink. seems to be disgusted and happy, and there are thousands of styles for a while, so that Xu Guanwu, who is used to seeing beautiful women, can't help but be stunned.
"By the way, Ah Wu, who is the director of this play? "Across the Seas" is a good story, you must choose a good director, otherwise you will be blind to such a good story. Zhao Yazhi asked again.
Xu Guanwu smiled, "What you said is indeed good, this drama really needs a knowledgeable director to shoot." ”
"Then you chose ......," Zhao Yazhi asked suspiciously.
"I chose director Wu Yusen of Golden Harvest." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.
Zhao Yazhi was stunned, "Director Wu Yusen?!" Isn't he making comedies? ”
Since the 80s, Wu Yusen has become Hong Kong's leading director of black X gang hero films with "The True Color of Heroes", "Bloody Heroes", "Bloody Street", "Spicy Detective", etc. But in fact, before the 80s, he was a very famous comedy director.
started from helping Xu Guanwen shoot "Ghost Horse Double Star". Later, "Money Cold", "Money is Strange", etc., are all very high-grossing comedies, and they have also established their image as a comedy director. The entrepreneurial work "Modern Times" he helped Xinyicheng shoot is also a very high-grossing comedy, and its success has also laid the cornerstone of Xinyicheng.
But it's a pity that Wu Yusen has never liked to make comedies, because he studied under the great director Zhang Che, and his style is also biased towards Zhang Che's manly and chic revenge style. So then he tried to get rid of comedy and go back to the route of hero films.
In eighty-three years, Wu Yusen finally had the opportunity to go to Thailand to shoot a "Hero Without Tears". The theme is based on the popular Japanese fighting comic "Ribbon Red Wolf", but what he didn't expect was that when filming a gunfight scene, Wu Yusen used a real gun cheaply, which caused a very serious accident, so that he was fired immediately after returning to Hong Kong. The "Heroes Without Tears" was subsequently banned from the film library, and after Wu Yusen became popular with the help of "The True Colors of Heroes", Golden Harvest took out the "Heroes Without Tears" in the film library, and made a fortune with the popularity of "The True Colors of Heroes" under the name of "Heroes".
In this life, so far, Wu Yusen's fate is almost the same as in his previous life, and he is used as a comedy director when he stays in Jiahe. Because the ghost horse comedy frenzy led by the Xu brothers is still very popular until now, many film companies treat comedy directors as baby bumps, and Wu Yusen is naturally highly regarded in Golden Harvest.
But for Wu Yusen himself, shooting comedies is really not what he likes, and it is not what he is good at. He proposed to Boss Zou several times to shoot a shootout movie, but he was blocked by Zou Wenhuai when he returned, which made him want to leave Golden Harvest.
"Don't worry, director Wu Yusen is not only good at making comedies, he is actually more professional in making action movies." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "You have all forgotten, Director Wu Yusen learned from the great director Zhang Che." ”
"But he hasn't made a similar film before, are you sure he can make this film well?" Zhao Yazhi said suspiciously, "You watch this drama and go to Paris, go to the castle, shootout and car chase, the investment must not be small." If he doesn't shoot well, then the money will go down the drain. ”
"Don't worry, I'm still more confident in Director Wu." Xu Guanwu smiled.
"Well, even if you are really confident, but he is the director of Golden Harvest, how can he make a film for us?" Zhao Yazhi thought about it and said.
"Anything is possible. There are no absolute enemies, only absolute interests, everything is just an exchange of interests. Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "I am confident that Jiahe will send Director Wu Yusen over." ”
"Well, now that you've made up your mind." Zhao Yazhi nodded. She knew that Xu Guanwu had never been persuasive, and no one could change the decision she had made, so she had no choice but to nod and say.
……
As expected by Xu Guanwu, Jiahe heard that Xu wanted to use Wu Yusen to film, but he did not refuse at that time. Instead, he also proposed to loan director Wang Jing to Xu's family.
Although Wang Jing has just been promoted to director, it has not been long ago. So far, only three films have been made. But because each movie has achieved a good box office, it is now also quite famous in the industry. In view of this, Zou Wenhuai also wanted to invite him to come over to film, of course, it would be better if he could invite Zhang Jian, Mai Jia, and Xu Guanwen back. But it was just a pipe dream.
If Jiahe proposed to borrow someone else, Xu Guanwu might not agree, but if it was Wang Jing who borrowed it, it would be fine. This little fat man's belly is full of stories. Even if one is given to Jiahe, the rest will be enough for Xu's for twenty years. So he happily agreed, and thus opened the door to the exchange of entertainers from the three major film companies.
Director Wu Yusen heard that Xu asked him to make a movie, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, he and the Xu brothers did work together back then, but that was several years ago. Since Xu's departure from Golden Harvest, there have been few opportunities for both parties to meet, and the friendship accumulated before has gradually faded due to the passage of time.
To be honest, even if they meet in person now, Wu Yusen knows that it will be difficult for him to come forward to greet him like before. After all, when we worked together before. Both parties are directors under Golden Harvest, and they are just equal to each other. But now Hui's has long been a famous family in Hong Kong. His status in the film industry is far beyond that of Golden Harvest, not to mention that he is still a small director of Golden Harvest.
"I wonder what kind of movie he wants me to make?" Wu Yusen sat in the café and muttered as he thought. He hasn't directed for a year, and he was hidden by Golden Harvest because he didn't want to continue making comedies, but even this didn't change his original intention.
In fact, he is contacting other film companies, preparing to leave Golden Harvest after the expiration of the contract in half a year.
"Director Wu, have you been here for a long time?" Just as he was muttering, a voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Wu Yusen's thoughts. He looked up, but saw Xu Guanwu in front of him.
"Shi ...... Mr. Xu, it's been a long time. When Wu Yusen saw Xu Guanwu at first sight, he wanted to blurt out the sentence "Stanley", but when the words came to his mouth, he quickly changed his name.
The current Xu Guanwu is no longer the kid who has to rely on the shade of his eldest brother Xu Guanwen to eat, he is now the richest man in Hong Kong, and his identity has already undergone earth-shaking changes. To be honest, Wu Yusen is very envious of Xu Guanwu's fortune experience, every part goes so smoothly, it is like divine help.
"It's okay, we've known each other for a long time, just call me Stanley, although we haven't seen each other for a long time, we're still friends." Xu Guanwu heard Wu Yusen shout halfway, and hurriedly changed his name halfway, he had already guessed what he was thinking, and couldn't help but say with a smile.
"No, no, you are now the richest group of people in Hong Kong, and I am just a poor director." Wu Yusen smiled self-deprecatingly.
Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile when he heard him say this, "If there is money, then I am still me." It doesn't have to be so formal. ”
Wu Yusen couldn't help but smile when he heard this, but instead of continuing on this matter, he asked, "Mr. Xu, I heard that you plan to film with me?" ”
Xu Guanwu nodded, "That's right, I want to start a play recently, and I want to ask you to help." ”
Wu Yusen smiled, "Can you tell me what kind of drama you want to film, what theme, I want to explain first, if it's a comedy, forget it, I ask myself if I can't compare to Mr. Xu Guanwen, director Mai Jia, and even a rookie director like Wang Jing has more humor than me." ”
Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "Don't worry, what I'm looking for you to shoot is not a comedy, it's a shootout movie." ”
Wu Yusen's expression froze instantly, and he was stunned for a long time before he said in surprise, "Mr. Xu, you're not lying to me, are you, are you really planning to find me to shoot a shootout movie?"
Xu Guanwu smiled, "What, do I look so boring?" ”
"No, no, it's just that I really didn't expect you to ask me to make a shootout movie, I thought you asked me to make a comedy." Wu Yusen hurriedly explained.
In the past, he cooperated with Xu to make comedy films, and later he also made comedy films at Golden Harvest, so it was easy for the director to set the type. It's like Wang Jing's plays have always been regarded as a vulgar comedy of ", pee, and fart", but in fact, his works are not all funny with that kind of thing.
"I always feel that comedy is not suitable for you, you studied under the great director Zhang Che, and you should have more experience in action movies." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.
When Wu Yusen heard this, he couldn't help but have a feeling of "a rare confidant in life", and he couldn't imagine that Xu Guanwu knew him so well.
"But times have changed, and now even director Zhang Che is not very good, so you have to change your thinking. Like that kind of kung fu film in the early Republic of China, sword and martial arts movies are outdated, you should move the stage to a modern city. Here's the script for my movie, you can take it and take a look. ”
Wu Yusen took the script suspiciously, and saw the title of the four big characters "Across the Seas", marked with two lines of small characters at the bottom, "Story: Xu Guanwu." Screenwriter: Hui's brilliant screenwriting team".
opened the script and read it page by page, the more Wu Yusen read it, the more frightened he became. (To be continued......)
