Chapter 178 Coping with the 80s
During the period when Wu Changyun was out, some changes took place in the Hong Kong film industry, the most notable of which was the appearance of the Golden Princess.
In the first year of the 80s, it can be said that the dragons first emerged. The current top film companies are Princess Jin, Liren, Darong, Anle, Gao Yun, Struggle, Toyama and Zhucheng.
This is only the companies whose works can be ranked in the top [-]. Besides these companies, there are many small companies.
This year can be said to be the year with the most intense competition. In the 70s, there was a unified view that only four companies could truly produce good works, and at that time, many personnel flowed from Shaw Brothers to outsiders.
In the 80s, it was different. Powerful actors such as Chen Gangsheng and Sammo Hung tried to start their own companies, but almost all actors who thought they had a certain appeal had set up their own film companies.
This also led to all kinds of chaos in the 80s. Under such a situation, even Wu Changyun could not guarantee to come out on top.
A few days ago, he traveled with Guan Shan and his group. When he returned to the company, he was already in a building in Kowloon. This place was chosen by the big guys, and of course Zhou Huiting took the lead.
This was Wu Changyun's first time living in such a large office.
His president's office is at the innermost part of the top floor. Anyone with a certain status in the company is on the third floor. The second floor is where the employees work, including some old faces that everyone knows.
The third floor is Wu Changyun's new business, mainly to train newcomers.
This time, everyone present at the meeting was personally invited by Wu Changyun, which is a very core part of the plan.
Everyone is very serious, especially Liang Jiahui has matured a lot in the past year. This guy is indeed a learning talent, and he seems to have two Zhou Chaoxian postures.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone, take time out of your busy schedule to come here."
"fine."
Wang Jing waved his hand, Wu Changyun really handed over the script of "God of Gamblers" to Wang Jing as promised.
Wang Jing didn't think much of it at the time after watching it, but when he learned that Wu Changyun intended to let Zhou Runfa participate in the show, he immediately regained his energy.
In fact, Wu Changyun only has the right to suggest who to participate in the performance, and has no right to decide.
But the few of them have been hanging out with each other for a long time, especially now that the company is in the limelight, so they are naturally unwilling to go against Wu Changyun.
Let the actors feel a little more relaxed, so that they can last for a long time, and Wu Changyun doesn't want to rely on tricks to control people.
"I was very surprised when I heard that we were going to cooperate with Wang Dao." Zhou Runfa smiled, and he joked about Wang Jing.
Because in the company, Wu Changyun is the one with the most seniority. Although he does not have as many films as Du Qifeng, the real one is Du Qifeng's teacher, followed by Wang Jing.
This guy looks like a leisurely person on weekdays, sometimes he goes to various studios to make jokes, and he doesn't look serious.
In fact, no one has seen how capable Wang Jing is.
Wu Changyun doesn't know how capable Wang Jing is. Anyway, it is true that this guy is talented, but no one knows whether he can do well the first time. Anyway, according to the history that has not been changed by Wu Changyun, Wang Jing's start is to Taller than Duke's Peak.
"Fa Ge take care, take care."
When it comes to joking, Wang Jing's big heart won't take it to heart, and he said repeatedly with fists in his arms.
"This meeting is to determine a style. After the current film is shot, we will continue to expand directors in the future. It is best for everyone to have their own style, so as to ensure our diversity. In the 80s, some emerging writers would not Get down."
Wu Changyun said that his statement sounded somewhat unfounded to others.
Now is the era when Qi Ji is in charge. Jiahe is blocked by Qi Ji and ranks second.
Shaw Brothers was supposed to be a skinny camel that was bigger than a horse, but unfortunately, due to the early introversion in the 70s, Shaw Brothers' films were not bought by the audience in advance.
Now Shaw Brothers is almost on the verge of selling the film industry, and Wu Changyun is also watching this matter. Once Shaw Brothers really plans to sell, Wu Changyun will be the first to take over.
"Okay, no problem. My style is obvious and everyone knows it."
It doesn't matter to Du Qifeng, on the contrary, he can shoot what he is good at, and he feels more comfortable.
Since he filmed the film The True Colors of a Hero, he has become more and more obsessed with the kind of iron-blooded tough guy films between men. His films are often accompanied by some kind of conspiracy, and his views of emphasizing righteousness and profit are vividly reflected in his films. .
This is also similar to Du Qifeng's future "Black Gold" and "Gunfire". He is a born expert in this field.
As for Wang Jing, he looked bewildered. His first work hadn't come out yet, and he was asked to choose a style. How should he choose?
"I'll shoot whatever is popular, as long as it can make money for the company."
Wang Jing said that he rejected his father Wang Tianlin's invitation and insisted on staying in the company, which made many people have a good impression of him, and everyone felt that Wang Jing's casualness was his personal style.
Wu Changyun took a deep breath, seeing that other people had similar attitudes to Wang Jing, he realized that if this meeting continued like this, it would be meaningless at all.
These people firmly believe that as long as they follow the company's instructions, they will always be in the first echelon. At least in the past few years, Wu Chang has used actions to prove his commanding abilities.
But not anymore.
Wu Changyun knew the difficulties in front of him, and he had a solution.
It is a choice of three methods, he must at least have a method that can compete with Chen Gangsheng, Sammo Hung and Stephen Chow, as well as the future TVB.
In order to nip it in the bud, Wu Changyun decided to at least limit Zhou Xingchi's acting options.
Just in front of us is an opportunity to cooperate with TVB. This cooperation has been negotiated before. Wu Changyun can present a series of large-scale dramas on TVB.
For this reason, Wu Changyun planned to pry Zhou Xingchi's corner first.
But considering that there is no suitable actor who can match his style, why don't you limit yourself with Zhou Xingchi?
Wu Changyun is very clear that Zhou Xingchi's current position is in TVB's training class, so is he going to poach someone from TVB again?
Thinking of this, Wu Changyun can't help but feel a little chills, because he used to rely on poaching people to start his business in the late 70s. Now his status is different, and it stands to reason that it is more natural to go to TVB to poach people.
Now he just needs to make a phone call to Wang Tianlin, ah, that's not right.
Wu Changyun glanced at Wang Jing again. This guy's son is now working for him. Wang Tianlin meant to train Wang Jing and then take over his own class. Now not only did the plan fail, but he also got on with his own son.
