Xu Ke and Wu Yusen are old acquaintances!

Unlike Xu Ke, Wu Yusen did not study film.

He was quite miserable, arrived in Hong Kong in 51, and his family lived in a wooden house area in Shek Ki Mei...

At that time in Hong Kong, the underworld was rampant, and he was a child, so he was naturally bullied.

So, there were two places where he could stay.

One is the church, where there is a priest who takes good care of him, and makes him sit quietly, looking at the cross, looking at the statue of the Virgin...

This is the reason why in Wu Yusen's movies in the future, when the climax comes, there will always be the abyss gaze of the Virgin.

There is also a theater, Wu Yusen has no money to buy tickets, so he can only take the corner of the stranger's clothes and go in to watch the movie - adults can take a child to watch the movie for free...

At the age of 9, Wu Yusen finally had the opportunity to go to school, and there was an American family who sent money to him through the church to study, and his mother changed his age to 2 years younger in order to be able to go to the first grade more normally.

So, Wu Yusen walked from Shek Ki Mei to Concord Primary School in Mong Kok in a pair of rag shoes, and after graduating from primary school, he was sponsored by the church to enter secondary school.

After graduating from middle school, Wu Yusen met the president of "Chinese Student Weekly" by writing film reviews...

The story goes like this, after Wu Yusen graduated from middle school, he had no way to make money, so he could only do odd jobs everywhere, as long as he gave money, he would do anything. For example, porters, water deliverers, grape sellers, and writing.

At that time, Wu Yusen lived in the Shek Kip Mei resettlement area, with houses one after another, and the neighbors knew each other well. Everyone has a preference, and that is to eat dog meat. Every time they killed the dog, Wu Yusen heard the dog's miserable bark.

Wu Yusen felt that killing a dog was the most cruel thing in the world, and every time he killed a dog, he broke down in his heart for a few days. So, he wrote all the collapses in his heart and wrote a "Killing the Dog".

As a result, "Killing the Dog" was published by the "China Student Weekly".

Mr. Lin Yueheng, the president of the "Chinese Student Weekly", later set up a founding college and also established a "life film group", which is open to the public free of charge.

Then, Wu Yusen and a group of good friends were given the opportunity to study filmmaking.

I got to know a large number of seniors in the experimental film industry, one of whom was named Qiu Gangjian, who admired him very much and recommended him to Zhang Che!

Zhang Che is also a film critic, and he likes Wu Yusen, who has the background of "Chinese Student Weekly", and accepted him without saying a few words.

Wu Yusen is down-to-earth and loves to study, Zhang Che promoted him to be an assistant director, and he could be paid 600 Hong Kong dollars for a play, which was considered a high salary at that time.

When Zhang Che was not on the set, he often asked the assistant director Wu Yusen to give orders, so Wu Yusen made rapid progress.

At that time, Zhang Che was the chief martial arts director of Shaw Brothers, and most of Shaw Brothers' martial arts movies let him co-direct, and many times, Zhang Che felt dissatisfied after watching the film, so he asked Wu Yusen to pass the word and revise...

This is very offensive!

People wonder if you mean it...

Wu Yusen was slowly ostracized by his friends, and then... He resigned!

'I can do nothing, but I can't live without friends!' ’

After that, it was Wu Yusen who joined Golden Harvest, but Wu Yusen had a label that he had for a lifetime: Zhangjiaban!

……

By the way, Zhang Che's Zhang family class is very righteous!

Wu Yusen filmed "The True Color of Heroes" and found Dillon to play the angry brother, and also wanted to find Li Xiuxian to play the little brother, but Li Xiuxian was too busy at that time - Universal Pictures was a start-up, and he couldn't be busy...

The most righteous person in Zhangjiaban should be Li Xiuxian.

An important task of "Zhang Jiaban" in 88 is to "save the game", because he will shoot "Heroes of Righteousness" for his mentor Zhang Che later, so he must do his best to find all the people who cooperated with Zhang Che back then, especially Liu Jialiang...

The two fell out...

Therefore, Dillon and Jiang David did not charge money to make a cameo appearance in Liu Jialiang's "Tiger Shift", Li Xiuxian also made a cameo appearance in "New Best Partner", and Huang Zhan both made a free cameo appearance in "Tiger Shift".

Liu Jialiang met with Zhang Che and said that Zhang Che's first sentence at that time was to tell him, "Jialiang, I'm old." Liu Jialiang was also touched and said, "We are all old." ”

It's kind of an icebreaker.

This is still the "least valued apprentice" in Zhang Che's mouth, so Zhang Che also said in the article that Li Xiuxian has these achievements, he has not helped much, it is all his own efforts.

may confirm that sentence: the more students are not liked by the teacher, the harder they want to be affirmed by the teacher!

Liu Jialiang finally relented and asked Liu Jiarong, the younger brother of Liu Jiaban, to be the action director of "Righteous Heroes".

In addition to helping "Bloody Heroes", he also starred in "Tiger 2" for Liu Jialiang, after Chen Guantai temporarily replaced Dillon to play the villain, Li Xiuxian also borrowed Stephen Chow to shoot "Thief A Xing" for Chen Guantai.

Regarding Dillon, Li Xiuxian was very dissatisfied with him, halfway through the filming of "Heroes of the Brave", he quit - he said that he fell off the horse and wanted to get his teeth straightened, but Li Xiuxian was very dissatisfied with him, because before he said that he would not act, he had a lot of opinions on this role, one of which was why his role was killed by Jiang David, Li Xiuxian and others also changed the script for him, but in the end he said that he would not act, so Li Xiuxian could only temporarily find Chen Guantai to play!

If it weren't for Chen Guantai's temporary topping, this project would be yellow...

The point is that you agreed to play the villain and joined the group to shoot, but you said that you wouldn't shoot halfway, so you might as well refuse at the beginning!

Including Zhang Che's funeral, Dillon didn't come, and sent his son Tan Junyan to participate, the reason was that BJ was filming "Huanzhu Gege 3", but a group of Zhang Jiaban were dissatisfied, and Wang Yu directly started filming on the spot, "X, who hasn't filmed here?" Don't know how to ask for leave? Make such excuses! ”

This is also the most critical factor why Jiang David has not reconciled with Dillon so far.

By the way, the image of Brother Xiao Ma in "The True Color of Heroes" is actually from Wu Yusen's mentor Zhang Che, especially in "One-Armed Knife", Lei Li broke his arm, Brother Xiao Ma broke his leg, both of them have experienced ups and downs!

Wu Yusen may not have thought about it so much when filming, but intentionally or unintentionally transferred the image of the male protagonist in Zhang Che's movie to Brother Xiaoma, which is why Brother Xiaoma is so moving.

……

"The True Color of Heroes was filmed that year, because all of Wu Yusen's previous movies were not blockbusters, and they were not favored before their release, and the boss even wanted to burn the movie negatives for a while..."

"Shi Tian?"

Xu Ke was surprised: "You know? ”

Shen Xudong was happy: "I have done "Screening Room", and a lot of information has been verified, and I also know that Shi Tian starred in "The True Colors of Heroes 2", Wu Yusen is very unhappy..."

Xu Ke also nodded: "I guess it's also... But I didn't think much about it at the time..."

One of the conflict points between Wu Yusen and Xu Ke is "The True Color of Heroes 2", Shi Tian was forcibly pulled up by Xu Ke...

Such a person who looks down on you and even wants to burn your negatives, will you have a good face for him?

However, Xu Ke shook his head: "Actually, it was Shi Tian who said this, but the one who was most unoptimistic was Mai Jia, and Mai Jia didn't like Wu Yusen very much..."

After a pause, Xu Ke then added: ""The True Color of Heroes" was dubbed on the day of the typhoon, and then the typhoon passed, Wu Yusen, Shi Tian and I went to have supper, Shi Tian was quite optimistic about this drama, saying that the box office could sell 10 million to 12 million, he went crazy and wanted to burn this drama?" ”

"Why is Mai Jia not optimistic about Wu Yusen? He also starred in "Funny Times"! ”

"Funny Times", the entrepreneurial work of New Art City, found Wu Yusen to direct...

At that time, Wu Yusen's film was in the hands of Golden Harvest, so under the pseudonym Wu Shangfei, the box office of "Funny Times" was 5 million Hong Kong dollars, which gave Xinyi City a good start.

"At that time, Xinyicheng mainly relied on comedy to win the world, and Wu Yusen was not good at making comedies..."

"His time is over... It is estimated that after "Taiping Wheel", no one will be optimistic about him..."

Xu Ke sighed: "Maybe... I feel like he can't find his creative direction..."

"What about you?"

"After "Shu Mountain", I want to try "Condor" and "Shooting the Condor"!"

Shen Xudong scratched his head: "It's difficult!" ”

"Mr. Jin Yong agreed with me to adapt..."

Shen Xudong shook his head: "It's not this problem, Jin Yong's adaptation of the movie, there is only one successful logic, that is, the viewer has to see the movie before understanding Jin Yong's story." Otherwise, no matter how good the quality of the movie is, as long as it is hooked with Jin Yong's story, most of them will be sprayed. ”

"It's a pity that that time has passed."

"But PPTV's "The Empress's Martial Arts Strategy" has a good reputation..."

"That's a time-traveling drama, the protagonist is the empress, not Jin Yong's hero and heroine..."
