Chapter 44 The first assistant: Chen Desen

I had just signed Golden Harvest back then, and my agent Chen Ziqiang wanted to help me find an assistant.At that time, there were no assistants. Only Bruce Lee had an agent, and no one had an assistant.Who is the assistant Chen Ziqiang found for me?Chen Desen. The first play he worked with me was "Junior and Brother".At that time, I had just tasted the taste of being popular, and I was not very sensible. I would take him to drink every day after work. When I bought a piece of clothing, I would buy one piece for him.I was only 22 at the time, and he was about 18.We are neither adults, just two children together.The filming stayed in the Hilton Hotel, I slept, and he also slept with me. Anyway, everyone sleeps when they are drunk.The next day, I didn't wake up, and neither did he.Just like an old man and a young man.

At that time, Chen Desen felt that he was "below one person and above ten thousand people".A teenage little ghost, many people fawn on him, hand him the script, and then chase him to ask my opinion, and respect him.At that time, he didn’t actually have a serious job. He helped me look at the car and the house. I had a friend who came to Hong Kong, and he greeted me and sent me to the plane. Help me accompany the fans. At that time I was very fond of racing.One night, I drove him to the mountains. While driving, I saw that he was a little nervous and said that he wanted to discuss something with me.I say, you talk.He said, I don't want to do it.I was a little surprised at the time, so I stopped the car at a corner, looked at him, and asked, am I treating you badly?He said, nothing bad.I said, why not do it?He said that I have no chance to be on the set, but I want to be on the set to learn.I said, study what?He said, I want to be a director.

Later, according to Chen Desen's description, my expression at that time made me roll my eyes to the sky.He was young at the time, and his self-esteem couldn't stand it all of a sudden, and he felt like he was about to cry.I was smoking a cigarette at that time, I flicked it off very coolly, and asked him, how do you want to be a director?He said, I started from the grassroots.I said, what is the grassroots?He said, I will take notes.I said, okay. A week later, I recommended him to go to a movie as a record.Then I switched to another assistant.The second assistant is Angie Chan, a girl who came back from the United States and is now a director.

Chen Desen said that I ignored him after seeing him for 20 years, and he felt that he completely offended me.When I think about it, I was really angry at the beginning, thinking that you were going to leave because I was so kind to you, but then it gradually became fine, not as serious as he thought. Until one day, I called him and freaked him out. "What are you doing?" "I'm eating." "Do you want to come and eat Japanese food with me?" He was a little puzzled, not knowing what it meant. "I heard that you have a very good script called "The Lost City of Secret Agents". Golden Harvest wants to invest. Come and talk to me, I want to make it." He was a bit incoherent, saying that you are a shareholder of Golden Harvest, you can do it if you want to make it. shoot.I said you come over here first, come over and talk later.

Before he went out, he drank half a bottle of wine at home, and came here after drinking a little bit, probably for courage. As soon as I saw him, I asked, have you been drinking?He said yes.I said, come on, drink again. "This is the play. I will be the actor and you will be the director." He was stunned after hearing this.Then everyone drank more and more High, and he kept checking with me, did you figure it out?Don't forget about it when you wake up.You asked me to be the director. Later I said to him: "Actually, I have been watching you for the past 20 years. You are a fucking good director. I have seen your last movie, it was really good. You went to Golden Harvest to give lectures twice. I am also paying attention to the script of "The Lost Secret Service". Big Brother wrongly blamed you, you have really worked hard these years. This time I am not the big brother, I am the actor of your play, and you are my director. Let's do a good job Get this movie out."

Seeing what I said, he looked a little smug, and I immediately added: "In my whole life, no one told me to resign. You are the first and the last!"
