Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 217 Touched Wu Yusen
In 1985, for Wu Yusen, this year could be said to be a year of decline that could no longer decline.

Previously in Jiahe, due to the delay in getting results, Jiahe only allowed him to direct comedies. This made Wu Yusen feel that his passion was suppressed and his talents had no place to put into practice.

In addition, when filming "Heroes Without Tears" in 83, an accident occurred on the set. Before Wu Yusen could take the initiative to give up Jiahe Company, Jiahe backfired and fired the former talented director.

In desperation, Wu Yusen followed the advice of his friend Tsui Hark and came to Xinyi City.

When he first came to Xinyi City, Wu Yusen thought that this would be the starting point for him to show off his talents, but unexpectedly, his situation did not develop as he expected, but instead fell into a deeper abyss.

Wu Yusen, who had just come to New Art City to report on his work, was sent to the Bay Island branch by New Art City without even having a chance to make a film. He became the branch leader responsible for the distribution of films in Bay Island and dealing with Bay Island film producers. .

But he is a Hong Konger. Although he has been a director and managed a film crew, how can he manage a company?

During this period, Wu Yusen was frustrated at every step, and he was not at all happy.

Seeing the lack of improvement in the Bay Island branch, in order to return to the Hong Kong film industry as soon as possible, Wu Yusen even went out of his way to pick up comedy movies that he had never wanted to make again, but the result was even worse for Wu Yusen. Feeling hopeless.

The comedy movie "The Comedian", which brought together many variety show stars in the Bay Island, had a final box office of less than one million in the Bay Island... This was early 85. At this time, in the Hong Kong Island film and television industry, everyone had even paid hundreds of The box office revenue of [-] yuan is no longer cold, let alone a movie that cannot break through [-] million yuan.

After the failure of "The Comedian", Wu Yusen completely fell into despair.

He resigned as the leader of Xinyi City's Wandao headquarters, spent half a year, and finally polished the script of "A Better Tomorrow", preparing to make it in his life and also the last wave of his director career.

At the beginning of the period, he wanted to return directly to Hong Kong Island to find investors for his film.

After all, no matter how down-and-out he is, he is still Zhang Che's disciple and the most famous director in the Hong Kong film industry in the past.

According to his estimation, as long as he can lose face, he can eventually find someone willing to fund the film to help him shoot the film, and eventually it will be released in the Golden Princess Cinema.

But just before leaving, Wu Yusen suddenly thought of Zhang Yang.

He still vaguely remembered that Zhang Yang had expressed his appreciation for him when the cooperation between the two ended.

Since this time is meant to be a last ditch effort, why not give Zhang Yang a try?
He had also heard about Zhang Yang's success over the years, and he also knew that Zhang Yang was now independent of Jiahe and had co-founded his own theater chain. If Zhang Yang was willing to step forward and fund him, he would no longer have to follow Xin People from Yicheng got involved.

During this period, due to the decline of "The Comedian" and New Arts City's Bay Island branch, he was ridiculed by the insiders of New Arts City. Although Tsui Hark was willing to stand on his stage, Wu Yusen's attitude toward Tsui Hark was Feelings are complicated.

At the beginning, he was the one who helped New Art City complete its entrepreneurial work "The Age of Funny". Finally, when faced with the invitation from New Art City, it was he who chose to let Tsui Hark succeed him and participated in the company of New Art City, creating Xu Hark. A series of brilliant achievements followed.

For a man like Wu Yusen, who is full of manly blood, accepting charity and pity from friends is far more unacceptable to him than spending money to help friends himself. If it is not a last resort, he would rather try elsewhere.

In this way, with a glimmer of hope, Wu Yusen wrote this letter and sent it to Zhang Yang.

After Zhang Yang saw the letter, he immediately replied to Wu Yusen without saying a word.After receiving the reply, Wu Yusen almost couldn't wait to open the letter.

The content of Zhang Yang's reply made him tremble with excitement.

The conditions and remuneration Zhang Yang offered him were almost inferior to those of Chen Jiashang and Du Qifeng. Regarding the investment in the script "A Better Tomorrow", Zhang Yang was even more generous in saying that he could invest tens of millions in sponsorship, and Ying Yang had internal As well as the resources of DeYoung Cinemas, they will also make every effort to build momentum for this "A Better Tomorrow".

This condition is undoubtedly generous that Wu Yusen could not even imagine, especially as the boss of the company, Zhang Yang promised to build momentum for the company and the theater chain. This is a resource that Wu Yusen would be difficult to obtain even if he accepts Tsui Hark's funding.

After all, Princess Jin knows very well that their foundation is in Xinyi City, and only Xinyi City is the top priority of their theater chain. Coupled with Wu Yusen's past "brilliant record", it is also destined that Princess Jin will not be in his Bet on yourself.

But now, Zhang Yang's promises and conditions undoubtedly hit Wu Yusen's heart hard.

Without much hesitation, Wu Yusen, who did not want this last chance to be wasted, got on a plane that evening and left the Xinyi City Bay Island branch and returned to Hong Kong Island.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Zhang Yang received Wu Yusen in the office of Yingyang Entertainment.

After signing the five-year cooperation contract, Zhang Yang also had a smile on his face.

At this time, Wu Yusen still doesn't know what kind of sensation his "A Better Tomorrow" will create, but Zhang Yang knows very well in his heart that this will become the first film of their Deyang Cinema line, enough to make Princess Jin and Xinyi City The ace that jumps in both theaters.

That’s right, it’s the ace!
Why Zhang Yang attaches so much importance to "A Better Tomorrow" is not only because "A Better Tomorrow" has achieved extremely good box office results in Hong Kong Island, but also because of the huge waves "A Better Tomorrow" has created in overseas box office.

Zhang Yang is very sure that when this film is released, Golden Harvest's plan to block overseas ticket warehouses for DeYoung Cinemas will become a complete laughing stock. No overseas film company will let go of the distribution rights of "A Better Tomorrow"!

There was no delay. On the day Wu Yusen signed the contract, all the resources of Yingyang Entertainment began to give the green light to the movie. Wu Yusen said that he wanted to find Zhou Runfa, Dilong, and Leslie Cheung, so Zhang Yang sent people Go find the relevant person to sign the contract immediately.

Such a generous treatment even made Chen Jiashang, an "old director" who has served the company for many years, feel a little disgusted. However, due to Zhang Yang's strength and private promises, he could only obey his orders.

And everything Zhang Yang did was naturally seen by Wu Yusen, and he was naturally moved beyond measure.

What is Bole, what is bosom friend!

Apart from Tsui Hark, this is the first time Wu Yusen has found this feeling of trust in anyone else!
And this feeling called trust is undoubtedly what Wu Yusen lacks most at the moment!
Not only for myself, but also to promote this Bole who trusts me...

In this movie, I must fight a beautiful turnaround!
