253 [The Brave Has No Fear]

Wu Yusen is very unlucky at the age of thirty.

My father was unable to work in tuberculosis, which made the family difficult to live and lived in a slum in Shikyu.

The movie "The Demonic" begins with the story of the sudden fire in 1956. Tens of thousands of poor people lost their homes and were displaced, causing the Hong Kong government to start building public rental houses to resettle victims. Among them, Wu Yusen's family.

In 1968, Wu Yusen worked as a screenwriter for the movie "Death Festival", thus entering the entertainment industry. After joining Xiao in 1971, he studied with the great director Zhang Che, starting from a handyman such as scenes and dramas, and has been working as an associate director.

In 1973, Wu Yusen directed the movie "Passenger". Because of his poor control over the violent standards of the movie, he did not fully learn the essence of Zhang Che's [violent aesthetics], which made the movie banned because it was too violent, and his debut in the film industry almost died.

Because he was not good at getting a job, Wu Yusen has never filmed again in the past two years and has been idle by the company. He does odd jobs and does idle jobs.

It is worth mentioning that Wu Yusen was the youngest film director in Xiangjiang at that time, two years younger than Wu Siyuan.

...

After getting Ye Jin's permission, Sammo Hung called Wu Yusen and asked him to go to Myth Film for a talk.

At this time, Wu Yusen was originally bored and stayed at home.

As a new director who has a bad start, his current position is actually very embarrassing. No one dares to ask him to film. His director is not true now, so he can only become an assistant director again.

However, the director usually only arranges his own people to do the job of the assistant director. Because the assistant director is the director's right-hand man, his work is very trivial and important. Only when he is handed over to his own hands can the director be truly at ease.

Wu Yusen was born into Xiao and is Zhang Che's deputy director. He is not familiar with other directors. Which director would ask him to be his deputy?!

Zhang Che is now developing in Taiwan, and there are already people around him, so Wu Yusen can't get up or down now, and is in a very difficult situation and lives a worse life than Jackie Chan. Although Jackie Chan has no great prospects, he is a martial artist and a supporting role, and his life is actually very exciting.

As soon as he received a call from Sammo Hung and learned that Myth Film wanted to invite him to film, Wu Yusen's head buzzed at that time, and his mind was completely blank. It took him a long time to recover.

"Hey, hey, hey, Asen, are you still here? Let me reply!" After Sammo Hung finished speaking, he didn't get a response from Wu Yusen, and he couldn't help but ask loudly.

"Sanmao, aren't you kidding me? Myth Film really wants to invite me to film?" Wu Yusen woke up in shock, then suppressed the excitement in his heart and confirmed again.

"Of course, I won't make such jokes with you. Come here quickly." Hong Jingbao said loudly, "Why, don't you believe in my character?"

"I dare not, I dare not, I am so stupid as to be happy." Wu Yusen said quickly, "Okay, I'll go there right away!"

Wu Yusen then cleaned up briefly and then took a taxi to Myth Film.

...

Ye Jin was chatting with Yuan Biao at the company at this time.

"Mr. Ye~" Yuan Biao sat in front of Ye Jin with some nervousness.

Although he is now a well-known kung fu star in Xiangjiang and has good popularity, he is still as obedient as a student in front of Ye Jin.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not asking you to talk to you." Ye Jin waved his hand and smiled, "A Biao, how does it feel to be a star?"

"It's pretty good." Yuan Biao nodded and smiled honestly, "But to be honest, I'm really not used to it."

He has now starred in two movies, "The Elder" and "The Elder" has won more than 3 million box offices and has achieved good results. "The Elder" has a good box office prospect, with an estimated box office of 3 million yuan.

The box office success of two movies made him a well-known star. There were already advertising companies and business companies asking him to shoot advertisements and attend commercial events.

"Well, I'll get used to it after a long time." Ye Jin smiled, "But, A Biao, do you know what your biggest problem is now?"

After hearing what he said, Yuan Biao's expression froze and his face suddenly dimmed, "Problem?!"

"Don't be nervous, I'm not saying you have personal problems." Ye Jin waved his hand and smiled when he saw this, "I mean that your two famous works, "Elder" and "Mr. Zan and Find Qian Hua", are both works that have collaborated with other artists. Although you performed well and are remarkable, you have not shown your ability to bear the box office."

Yuan Biao was stunned, thought for a while, then nodded.

Indeed, Lin Qingxia, the one who holds the box office in "The Elders", and Sammo Hung, the one who holds the box office in "Mr. Praise and Find Qianhua". Although he is also the protagonist, he actually does not bear much box office pressure.

"Mr. Ye, what you are teaching?" he nodded and said.

"So, this time it's you who proves your ability to carry the box office." Ye Jin smiled, and then handed him a script, "Look at how this script is."

Yuan Biao took it and saw four big words written on the script - "The Brave is Not Fearful".

He then carefully looked over.

...

"The Brave Is Not Fear" is a movie directed by Yuan Heping in the 1981 and written by Wang Jing, starring Yuan Biao, Liang Jiaren, Yuan Xinyi and others.

It tells the story of the laundry worker Xiaodan accidentally provoked the pursuit of the top killer Baiyinghu, and implicated his good brother Chang Kuan and was also killed. In the end, Xiaodan defeated Baiyinghu with his [Laundry Skill] and helped his good brother avenge him.

This drama is a representative work of Kung Fu in Hong Kong films, and there are two highlights. One is the cold-blooded killer played by Yuan Xinyi. There is almost no line in the film, and it is a very rare villain in Hong Kong films.

According to Ye Jin's speculation, Wang Jing should have obtained inspiration from the popular Hollywood horror movies at that time.

At that time, in Hollywood's two most popular horror films, "Moonlight and Typhoon" and "Friday of the Thirteenth", the big boss Mike Miles and Jason knew the master of killing people without saying a word.

This kind of killer who kills people with no reason or logic, completely ignoring cause and effect completely brings great panic to the audience. Because anyone can be killed by them, even if they don’t do bad things, they don’t run away when they meet them, which makes people feel extremely desperate.

The second is a means of a bold counterattack.

Usually, the routine of revenge in kung fu movies is to learn martial arts with experts, or find martial arts secrets when you have an adventure. After you have achieved success, your skills will increase greatly and then you will kill your opponent.

Such as "One-armed Knife", "Snake-shaped Hand", "Drunk Fist", "Lin Shirong", "Mr. Zan and Find Qian Hua", etc.

But this is not the case in "The Brave Without Fear". Although Xiaodan was a disciple of Huang Feihong, he did not learn kung fu. Instead, he relied on the [Laundry Washing Skill] he accidentally practiced when he was washing clothes.

It can be said that this foreshadowing is both wonderful, clever and unique.

After the release of "The Brave Without Fear", the box office performed very well, winning HK$5.6 million, ranking fifth in the annual box office rankings.

This drama is Yuan Biao's first show that he took the lead alone. Without the help of his senior brother Sammo Hung, he could achieve such results. It is naturally very good, and it also makes him qualified to be with Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan and others, becoming the hottest kung fu star in the 1980s.
