From Xiangjiang Martial Arts in the 70s

Chapter 126 Uncle Da's Struggle

"Director, hello, I guess you will definitely come today."

"I didn't notify the crew, how did you know?"

"I went to the company to ask about it yesterday." Wu Mengyu rubbed his hands and said, Wu Changyun always thought that this was an action that he would only do when he was acting, but he didn't expect it to be like this in real life.

Compared with the comic image, Uncle Da in life looks more refined and connotative.

"I don't have anything to do in the crew now, so I'm bored."

Wu Changyun knew that the other party was more or less emotional about his role.

Sometimes, people don't say they don't want to, but their actions will not lie.

"What are you going to do?"

Wu Changyun leaned against the wall, as if asking Wu Mengtao for his truth, to be honest, it would be too irresponsible for him to keep Wu Mengtao in his hand and wait for Zhou Xingchi
"No, I just want to find something to do and see if you need help."

Wu Mengyu waved his hand quickly, he didn't mean to leave and work alone.

Well, Wu Changyun checked the recent shots, and Du Qifeng, who has been working very hard, has once again withstood the test.

Wu Changyun found that Du Qifeng's bad habit of including private work in movies still exists, this time it is reflected in the scene of the scene, Du Qifeng likes to use the environment.

He is good at making use of the atmosphere in the car and the night street. If there is a Windows 10 computer with Da Vinci color correction software, maybe Du Qifeng will do a very good job.

This point will be a hidden danger sooner or later, but Wu Changyun intends to stop it.

Wu Changyun called Du Qifeng and asked: "How is it? Are the lights and other equipment used for the recent clips?"

Du Qifeng was a little strange, Wu Changyun suddenly asked this.

"Ah."

"You know, we don't have a lot of lights, even more professional lighting engineers. The current Hong Kong market doesn't need this."

"You mean, our lighting engineer is not professional enough?" Du Qifeng asked back.

"Oh, no."

Simply put, one is talking about the basket at the south gate, and the other is talking about the hip and hip axis, and Du Qifeng is not to blame.

Wu Changyun's habit of thinking is reverse thinking, comparing the future with the present, while Du Qifeng compares tomorrow with the future, and the two have different levels of understanding.

"Forget it, forget it, pretend I didn't say it."

Wu Changyun was afraid that Du Qifeng would replace the lighting engineer the next day.

Recently, Wu Changyun's business has not been smooth sailing. In 75, McDonald's entered Hong Kong and fired the first shot. Before he told Chang Sihu, he asked him to learn more about fried chicken techniques, which is just right now.

Many imitation hawkers were soon slapped on the beach because of their poor craftsmanship, coupled with various marketing campaigns after the opening of McDonald's.

The business is extremely polarized, either low-priced and low-quality, or well-decorated dine-in.

At Uncle Da's request, Wu Changyun took him to see the recent fried chicken business. Before that, he asked Ding Pei to be his "endorsement".

That is to say, during the period when I asked Ding Pei to work for me, it was not so much an endorsement, it was just a walk in front of the vendor to interact with everyone, so that customers would have a sense of expectation.

"Uncle Da, you don't have to work with them."

As soon as he arrived at the store, Uncle Da began to help the shop assistants. Uncle Da is an actor, and the environment he comes into contact with is usually on other people's TVs. Now he bends down to help him with things, without airs at all.

"It's okay, I'll come out with you, it must come in handy."

Wu Mengyu, who is only 23 years old, has a less mature and kind smile on his smile, and more expectations for life.

Busy along the way, Wu Changyun seemed to be inspecting the work, while Wu Mengyu was so tired that he was sweating profusely.

The two of them sat in the car and bought some box lunches from the street. Wu Changyun asked the other party curiously: "What? I plan to do business with myself. I can arrange a position for you."

Wu Mengyu was startled, he knew that since Wu Changyun had spoken, it would definitely not be a basic waiter or the like.

"what are you doing?"

"Manager, check and supervise for me."

"I……"

Wu Changyun glanced at the hesitant Wu Mengtao, and he really hoped that the other party would agree, so that he would have a reason to keep Wu Mengtao.

"Actually, I still hope to stay in the crew and film."

"Don't delay, I will work as a part-time job here." Wu Changyun said while picking up his meal.

Wu Mengtao knew that Wu Changyun's move could be said to be benevolent, and entrusting such a good job to him as a part-time job was equivalent to getting double insurance in the company.

"What's wrong? Don't you have confidence in yourself?"

"No, I want to be the leading role again."

Wu Mengyu said deliberately in a joking manner, when he looked up, he saw Wu Changyun paused and looked at himself through the rearview mirror.

Wu Mengyu was a little nervous, he was afraid of making Wu Changyun unhappy.

"That's it!"

Wu Changyun said with a smile.

Both of them didn't really want to take up this topic. Wu Changyun knew clearly that if he really arranged for Wu Mengda to play a starring role, there would be no guarantee for him.

For a long time, except for his first film "New Wusheng", which was his own original work, he copied other successful works in order to quickly gain a foothold before the 80s.

"That's not what I planned."

Wu Changyun lowered his head and said, thinking of Uncle Da who once brought a lot of laughter to his childhood, should he give him a chance?
"I have no plans now, but I will keep it in mind, believe me." Wu Changyun said sincerely.

During the Lunar New Year celebration in 1975, Wu Changyun's new drama "The True Colors of a Hero" exploded the market, watching countless passionate boys and girls cry, and also made Zhou Runfa popular and became the top brand of Qiji Film Company.

Wu Changyun's film won 632 million box office in mainland Hong Kong, barely suppressing Xu Guanwen's "Ghost and Horse Double Star", and won the first place in Hong Kong's box office.

In the same year, Xu Guanwen, who was unconvinced, made another masterpiece, "Genius and Idiot". Unfortunately, due to the influence of market trends, the film only received 270 million at the box office, which was a significant decrease.

Instead, Wu Changyun participated in "Integrity Storm" and the original film "The New Era of Young and Dangerous Boys" starring Zhou Runfa won a box office of 580 million, killing the western film "Burning Skyscrapers" introduced in the same year.

The success of "The True Colors of a Hero" has become a template for countless film companies. Since 75, major film companies have begun to produce young and Dangerous films.

Wu Changyun started to invest in movie theaters after his success in 75. He successfully built a new movie theater in two and a half years, acquired 3 movie theaters, and became a new movie company in the true sense.

Prior to this, due to the lack of its own theater chain, Wu Changyun had to give at least two-fifths of the proceeds of each movie to the theater chain. Since 78, Qiji Film Company has truly become an integrated film company.

However, Yuan Aijia's Zhengke Film Company has not had any good works in the past two years. Although the company is still making profits, the long-term future seems to be bleak. At this time, Wu Changyun proposed to acquire Zhengke Film Company and its theaters.

For this reason, Wu Changyun specially bought two movie tickets at the Zhujiang Cinema and made an appointment with Yuan Aijia to watch the movie together.
