Chapter 70 The Aesthetics of Violence
"Hello, Mr. Mo, my name is Wu Yusen." The middle-aged man smiled at Mo Xuan as soon as he came in. "No need to introduce him. Why don't I know Director Wu's name? I like watching your "Funny Times" very much." In fact, there is no need to introduce him. Looking at the faces that have not changed much from later generations, Mo Xuan has already recognized that the man is Wu Yusen, who was called the master of violent aesthetics in later generations, later generations.
In 1980, Wu Yusen directed the first work "The Funny Age" after the founding of New Art City under the name of Wu Shangfei. The film achieved a box office of HK$5 million after it was released in Hong Kong.
In the same year, he served as director and screenwriter in the gunfight film "Heroes Without Tears"; the film embodies the masculine aesthetic film style and becomes Wu Yusen's representative work from the comedy era to the action era.
What made Wu Yusen famous in one fell swoop was that in 1986, he directed the gunfight film "The True Color of Heroes" with the help of Tsui Hark. This movie was not only a turning point in his directorial career, but also laid the film style of his violent aesthetics. After the film was released, it broke the Hong Kong movie box office record with a box office of HK$34.65 million.
"Haha, Mr. Mo is really a bit ridiculous. Speaking of Daming, you are now a famous young hero in Xiangjiang." Wu Yusen said with a smile. No one doesn't like to listen to good things. Although he planned to join Zongheng Pictures under the persuasion of Wang Jing, if Mo Xuan disdains him, he will have no shame to stay here.
"Director Wu, I heard from Wang Jing that you are planning to join our Zongheng Pictures?" Mo Xuan asked curiously. Shortly after his rebirth, he also heard that Wu Yusen helped Jiahe film "Modern Master".
"Yes, I have withdrawn from Jiahe and plan to have a meal at Mr. Mo. I don't know if Mr. Mo can take it in." Wu Yusen replied seriously.
"Hey, what did Director Wu say? You are willing to join Zongheng Pictures, but we are reluctant to ask for it." Hearing Wu Yusen's affirmative answer, Mo Xuan said with a smile. Unexpectedly, John Wu really wants to join Zongheng Pictures. Doesn't that mean that the films "The True Color of Heroes" and "The Four Seas" in his mind can be started filmed.
"Then I thank Mr. Mo. But I also have a small request, I hope Mr. Mo agrees." Wu Yusen was also very happy to hear Mo Xuan's words, but he still had some concerns in his heart. He must make it clear first to avoid having a quarrel with Mo Xuan.
"You said." Mo Xuan was not surprised when he heard Wu Yusen's words. It is understandable that talented people have some special requests.
"After I joined Zongheng Pictures, I hope the company can't stop me from shooting gunfight movies." Wu Yusen looked at Mo Xuan and said seriously.
The reason why he chose to end his partnership with Jiahe Film Company was because Jiahe Film Company did not allow him to shoot gunfight movies, and asked him to continue directing comedy movies, and sometimes there was no film to shoot.
"Haha, no problem. I can agree to this now." After hearing Wu Yusen's request, Mo Xuan immediately agreed without hesitation. He originally thought that John Woo would raise questions about his treatment for joining Zongheng Pictures, but he did not expect that what he proposed would be this.
"It's a coincidence that Zongheng Pictures was planning to shoot a gunfight movie for a while, and even thought about the plot. They were worried that they couldn't find the director. Unexpectedly, Director Wu joined our Zongheng Pictures."
In order to make John Woo feel a sense of belonging to Zongheng Pictures and to let him stay at Zongheng Pictures completely, Mo Xuan thought about it and decided to let his famous work be released in advance.
"Oh? I don't know what kind of movie it is?" Sure enough, when he heard Mo Xuan's words, John Wu immediately became interested.
"Song Zihao and Lee Mark are important figures in an international counterfeiting group, and they are in love with each other. Zihao's younger brother Song Zijie was trained at a police school, and his girlfriend Zhong Rou was in love with him.
....Tan Cheng compromised on the surface and secretly wanted to harm him. Zijie was determined to capture his brother Zihao, but was eventually moved by Mark's brotherhood and friendship. He joined the battle. In the gun battle, Mark and Tan Cheng were shot and killed. Finally, Ahao took out the handcuffs from Ajie's waist and put them on. The two brothers resolved their past grudges and both walked towards the police."
Mo Xuan recalled the plot of "The True Heroes" in his mind, while narrating to John Wu. When Mo Xuan finished speaking, Wu Yusen was still immersed in the plot of "The True Heroes".
Mo Xuan did not disturb John Woo's thinking, and sat there quietly with Wang Jing, browsing the company's documents, looking up from time to time. Until John Woo finally reacted, he asked, "How does Director Wu think of the plot of this movie?"
"The plot and character setting of the movie are very good, which touches on the man's father-son relationship, brotherhood, friend, man-woman relationship, wrongfulness and victimization, and revenge, etc., which vividly portrays the love and friendship in the man's heart. I believe that it will definitely be very popular when filming it." Wu Yusen thought for a while and replied.
When Mo Xuan heard Wu Johnson's words, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Wu Yusen was so beautiful that he actually understood everything he wanted to express in "The True Color of Heroes" through a simple plot narration.
...
"Ajing, how could you bring Wu Yusen to our company?" After Wu Yusen left, Mo Xuan finally couldn't help asking Wang Jing, who had been silent just now.
In Mo Xuan's impression, he had never heard of any intersection between Wang Jing and Wu Yusen.
"Haha, Mr. Mo, you don't know. Wu Yusen entered the film industry's first contract company, Shaw Pictures, and then took Zhang as a teacher to learn how to make movies. You said I could not know him." Wang Jing smiled and answered Mo Xuan's question.
When Mo Xuan heard Wang Jing's words, he had no other feelings, only one feeling, that is, the fat man in front of him had a big network of relationships.
In Mo Xuan's impression, in the Xiangjiang film circle, he had never met someone Wang Jing didn't know.
Thinking of this, Mo Xuan felt that since he entered the Xiangjiang film industry, the most correct decision was to bring the fat man in front of him and Wang Jing joined Zongheng Film, which saved him a lot of time to poach people.
I wonder who else this fat man knows? Can it bring him greater surprise? Mo Xuan stared at Wang Jing and thought curiously.
Wang Jing, who was about to pick up the tea cup to drink tea, looked up and met Mo Xuan's eyes. He felt the anus tighten and a chill behind him.
"Mr. Mo, I suddenly remembered something important and left first." Before I could drink the remaining tea in the cup, Wang Jing said something to Mo Xuan and left Mo Xuan's office at a speed of 100 meters.
"This fat man." Mo Xuan smiled and shook his head. He thought Wang Jing was really wrong. If he knew what the fat man was thinking, Mo Xuan would definitely find a few big men to let Wang Jing taste the feeling of being hurt all over the ground.
