When he arrived at Du Laozhi Nightclub, Xiao Ran was already so hungry that he played the music of House of Flying Daggers. Fortunately, he had something to eat afterwards, but he barely filled his stomach, and then he watched the laughter from the sidelines.

It's not that he doesn't want to participate, it's just that he's not very used to the lady accompanying him, and he doesn't drink. Wei Jiahui is not very open-minded, and Wang Jing and the other three seem to be regular guests, but they talk and laugh freely.

"Hey, Aran, why don't you drink?" Chen Baixiang had just developed a crush on this young man who asked for advice humbly at the racecourse. When he saw Xiao Ran standing aside, like a virgin being forced into bed, he couldn't help laughing and asked: "

It would be a shame not to drink here, come on, let’s have a drink!”

I have to admit that Chen Baixiang is a very enthusiastic person, and he is quite proficient in eating, drinking and having fun. He is a good playmate. Xiao Ran forced a smile. In such an environment, he had no reason not to drink.

He is very clear about this.

However, according to his mind, he was obviously still able to measure his own weight, so he just asked for a beer and took a sip. When Wang Jing saw it, he immediately said carelessly: "This is not possible, how can you drink beer! Let's try another one.

One cup!”

Wei Jiahui's smile froze. He had known Xiao Ran for a while and naturally knew that he didn't drink. At this time, it was his turn to take action. He smiled and said to Wang Jing and the others: "Aran doesn't know how to drink. He can get drunk after just two glasses of beer."

If I drink something else, I’m afraid I’ll lie down immediately!”

"Okay!" Wang Jing didn't force anyone to do anything, which surprised Xiao Ran. However, after thinking about it, he understood that if Wang Jing was such a arrogant person, how could he have so many friends in the circle.

The content of Xiao Ran's chat with Wang Jing and the others was very interesting. For example, the one who interested him the most was a guy named Liu Yong. From what Wang Jing and the others said, Xiao Ran could infer that the guy named Liu Yong seemed to have caused trouble.

What kind of entanglement between celebrities? This reminded him of the famous Liu Yong injury case at the end of 1985. Could it be that this case was caused because of a woman, and the man named Liu Yong fled to a foreign country after the incident.

They chatted about some things in the industry, which opened Xiao Ran's eyes. Not long after, Wei Jiahui, who was also a little drunk, looked at Wang Jing and asked: "Aran wants to be a director, do you have any opportunities?"

Feng Quefan, who was half drunk, looked sideways at Xiao Ran: "Aran wants to be a director? He has just started his career. He has no qualifications or experience. How can he be a director? He should be an actor like me."

"That's right!" Chen Baixiang drank the most among them. He pointed at Xiao Ran with half-drunk eyes and said with concern: "Aran, believe me, you are too worried about being a director. With your appearance, as long as someone praises you,

, and if you have acting skills, becoming popular will happen in minutes!”

"There are many opportunities. Making movies is so profitable now, who doesn't want to invest in it!" Although Wang Jing looked very bohemian when he was drinking just now, he now showed a rationality consistent with that of a future great director: "But, just...

With Aran’s current qualifications, I’m afraid it will be difficult to get investment!”

"However, A Ran, if you really want to make a film, I can try to get you some investment!" Wang Jing's expression suddenly turned serious when he said this: "A Ran, I want to tell you that being a director is not that easy.

. If you become a monk halfway and still don’t understand many things, you’d better study for a year or two first and write a good script. Then there will naturally be people to invest! In this circle, credibility is the first priority.”

Hearing Wang Jing's words, Xiao Ran was stunned. He knew that Wang Jing would make a lot of bad movies in the future in a hurry for quick success, which would indirectly lead to the decline of Hong Kong movies, but he didn't expect Wang Jing to be so rational at the moment. However, he did not plan to do it immediately.

He became a director just because he knew better than anyone else that he had no experience or skills in being a director.

In fact, if he really wants to be a director, he may not be able to do it. The very simple reason is that if he directs "A Better Tomorrow", even if he does not know the directing skills, he has watched the film and remembers the details in the film. One

If the effect of a scene is different from what you see, it is also a tactic to reshoot it immediately until the same effect is achieved. Of course, if you do this, the investors will definitely not do it, because the budget will definitely exceed the budget.

A few days later, he got a bonus from Hong Jinbao's office, which was more than 30,000. A few days later, "Police Story" had a midnight preview, and it also won a lot of praise, and the box office was out of control.

Seeing that Christmas was approaching, the lonely Xiao Ran called a group of friends out for a meal and a lot of fun. Whether it was to relieve the depression in his chest or for other reasons, in these few days, entertainment

In the industry, Liu Yong and his wife were divorcing, and this guy actually took a knife and beheaded his wife, who was also a celebrity. As a result, this guy was caught by the Taiwanese authorities, and he quickly jumped the bail and fled.

The trivial matters of life gradually became boring, and the search for the future strongman gradually became boring. Xiao Ran kept going over and over again in such days, and even his great interest was dulled. By this time, his address book was already full of names.

These names will be his help in the future.

Time gradually passed and after the Spring Festival, I found everything I could find, and I was not in a hurry for what I had missed temporarily. On March 24, 1986, Xiao Ran finally got an opportunity. On this day, Xu Ke gave him a phone call and asked him to go to the hospital.

Go to the company.

When they arrived at New Art City, Xiao Ran was dumbfounded by Xu Ke's first sentence: ""A Better Tomorrow" is in preparation. I plan to let you play the role of Xiao Ma. What do you think?"

Xiao Ran was really dumbfounded. He thought about what movie Zhou Runfa, a box-office poison, had become so popular and won the Academy Award. If he played the role of Xiao Ma, in that case... he didn't dare to think about it anymore...

If he really plays this role, it will definitely be beneficial without any harm. "A Better Tomorrow" is a classic among classics. It has always been Hong Kong's most popular film in many influential ranking lists.

The film is so supreme that it even ranks first among the top 100 Hong Kong films.

It created the hero film genre and made two frustrated people feel proud. This film even influenced the future direction of Hong Kong films. It was also because of the birth of this film that police and gangster action films became the

became mainstream in Hong Kong.

Just thinking about the benefits of being famous forever, Xiao Ran's heart suddenly moved. Especially, he knew that if he played this role, he would be able to save at least five years of hard work. In his memory, Zhou Runfa was in this film

Within two years of success, he and Lin Lingdong established Silver Award Film Company.

If this film had not appeared, the box office champion of 1986 would have been the star-studded "Boom Train". Unfortunately, the 28 million of "Boom Train" was worse than the 34 million of "A Better Tomorrow"

covered a considerable distance.

Agree or reject? His heart was beating as fast as a drum, and his head was as hot as smoke. Xiao Ran was about to agree, but suddenly he remembered, what would Zhou Runfa do if he agreed?

That's right! If Zhou Runfa didn't play this role, he might not be famous or become the "fairy hair" in the future. Thinking of this, Xiao Ran felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured over his head, and his whole body was extremely cold.

.

Without Fa Ge, how lonely will the Hong Kong film industry be? Xiao Ran doesn't know. The only thing he knows is that Fa Ge is the god of acting that can never be replaced in Hong Kong movies, and is also the god of acting in Chinese movies. If he had to sacrifice Fa Ge,

If my brother wants to achieve his own goals, he can't do it.

He was very distressed. If it had been Fa Ge's other works, he could have snatched them up. However, "A Better Tomorrow" was not only the most critical turning point in Wu Yusen's life, but also Fa Ge's turning point. It was precisely because of this film that

There will be several classics, and then there will be an acting god that every Chinese must recognize, whether they like it or not.

If it were you, what would you do? Agree? Xiao Ran will never forgive himself. If he refuses, he will also not forgive himself. Maybe in the future, he will have the idea of ​​​​a classic line like the "Westward Journey", because

He is so close to success now.

However, after several waves of struggles, Xiao Ran decided to refuse in frustration. For this reason, he even gave himself a good reason. First, he could not allow Hong Kong to lack outstanding actors like Fa Ge. Second, even if he

If you come to play Xiao Ma Ge, you will definitely not be able to interpret that essence. Simply put, no one is suitable for this role except Fa Ge.

Seeing Xiao Ran's expression changing, Xu Ke was very surprised. Of course, he obviously didn't know that Xiao Ran, a guy with bad intentions, almost took away Fa Ge's opportunity. Finally, Xiao Ran thought about it, but there was still a sense of reluctance in his expression.

Meaning: "Director Xu, I won't play this role. I wonder if I can recommend someone? Zhou Runfa!"

"Zhou Runfa?" Xu Ke's eyebrows immediately knitted together. He knew very well that Zhou Runfa was a good actor. However, he also knew that Zhou Runfa was a famous box office poison. In this way, wouldn't the film he was planning to make be a sure thing: "

Not too bad, he is a good actor. But for the sake of box office, I don’t think he can do it!”

"Old Xu, believe me, except him, no one can play this role to the best!" Xiao Ran's eyes cast into Xu Ke's eyes, and he was so confident. Xiao Ran suddenly remembered that if Xiao Ma Ge's role had almost changed

, maybe the director has also changed, so he immediately asked anxiously: "Has the director of this film been decided?"

"It's basically decided, I plan to direct this drama myself!" Xu Ke stood up, picked up a cigarette on the table, threw one to Xiao Ran and asked, "Do you also have any opinions on the director?"

"That's not true. In fact, it's good if you do it yourself!" Xiao Ran knew it was bad as soon as he heard it. Xu Ke must have taken a fancy to the script, so he decided to do it himself. He gathered the vocabulary in his head and thought of ways to make it happen.

Xu Ke changed his mind: "Old Xu, you see you are already a famous director now, and you are still running a film studio, so you don't need to do it yourself every time!"

"What do you mean?" Xu Ke blew out a smoke ring leisurely and said in a deep voice: "I can't bear to let others do it!"

Xiao Ran smiled bitterly. Xu Ke always liked to do things himself, otherwise how could he have forced Hu Jinquan away during the filming of "The Swordsman". After thinking about it for a while, he decided to save the country in a curve: "You are famous and advantageous now, so why not give the opportunity to others?"

Directors, such as Wu Yusen, I think he is very good, you might as well consider it!"

There is no need to rely on the memory in the dream to guess, Xiao Ran can even ask Xu Ke about Wu Yusen's current situation. Wu Yusen is still working at Xinyi City's branch in Taiwan, and is still Zhang Aijia's subordinate and supervisor.

"The Comedian" and "Two Tigers", which he directed personally, had mediocre box office results, which made this future internationally famous director very depressed.

"Him?" Xu Ke was surprised. He thought Xiao Ran would mention someone else, but he didn't expect to mention the founding hero of Xinyi City. He frowned and said: "He is okay in comedy films, but this

I’m afraid it won’t be possible to grow films!”

It's over! Xiao Ran was a little desperate. He didn't expect Xu Ke to think of Wu Yusen like this. However, it's right to think about it. At that time, Wu Yusen was almost all in comedy films, and he didn't show his talent in action films at all! It's just that
Chapter completed!
