Chapter 45 Brother, son: Wu Yanzu

Wu Yanzu can be regarded as the most successful example among the newcomers I discovered.I met him at a party. At that time, a friend came over and said, introduce a boy to you. He is your movie fan. He came to Hong Kong from abroad and wants to meet you very much.I said yes, and Wu Yanzu was brought in front of me. His Chinese was not very good at that time.I think his appearance is really good, so I said, why not come to Hong Kong to develop, you can leave me a call first.After returning to the company, I gave his phone number to my agent, saying that there is a young man who is good, you call him, ask him to come to the company, and sign him.Not long after signing the contract, he accepted the "Beautiful Boy's Love" directed by Yang Fan, and soon became popular.At that time, he found a room in the company every day, sat there and studied Cantonese very seriously, and later he worked hard to learn Mandarin, and sometimes he would go out to take language classes. He was very diligent. I admire such a person very much.

"New Police Story" was the first time we worked together. He played the villain very well, and everyone praised him very much. We worked together again in "Shinjuku Incident", and the relationship between the two became better and better.The relationship between the two of us was idols and fans at first, and later became friends.I usually treat him like a son, but everyone in the crew is like a brother.After knowing each other for so many years, he always said that he appreciates that I am a person who is not afraid of anything. In fact, he does not know that I am afraid of many things.

There is a scene in "Shinjuku Incident" where he and I take a bath in a bathhouse. According to the plot, we are in a Japanese bathhouse. It must be normal for everyone to be naked. It would be strange if we were both wrapped in bath towels. I suggested that both of them should have their backs completely naked. He was timid at first, so what are you afraid of if I accompany you?In the end, he took the photo naked. When he was publicizing, he told everyone that I forced him to do it naked. After filming "Shinjuku Incident", he once told me that the most difficult part of filming was treating me as a friend of the same generation.It turns out that he has always regarded me as an idol, and this concept is hard to get rid of. Fortunately, I kept chatting with him and being with them every day, he will gradually adapt.But when we went outside, I was surrounded by a large group of people as soon as I got out of the car, and he would panic again, thinking that I had become a big star again, and he had become a small fan again.

In that movie, there was a scene where Wu Yanzu was beaten badly by a group of people.I have been filming for so long that I have seen many scenes. I don’t know why that day, seeing him like that, I felt very distressed, and I always thought, “If my brother is very kind, but he is killed for no reason until he is only half alive. What will happen to me?" I couldn't stop thinking about it, and seeing him covered in injuries and bandages, I kept crying until I couldn't stop the car.I couldn’t talk for a whole day after filming. Only then did I realize the feeling that other actors said. After being too involved in the role, it really takes time to get away.

Looking back over the years, I am actually quite good at finding handsome guys, and I also like this kind of handsome and hardworking boys.Of course, it's also because everyone pays attention to me. If I always look for beautiful women, there will definitely be scandals.Men are fine, look at the new Seven Little Fortunes, Liu Chengjun, I can take them with me at any time.When filming and editing, they can learn things along with them.If a woman follows me every day, then the scandal will become big. All these new people, I hope they will be stars, not shooting stars.Whether it is China, South Korea, or Japan, there are too many shooting stars in the whole of Asia. If it is popular today, it will disappear next month.People of our generation have been able to stand for so long now because of our ability.If you have no skills, but are just beautiful and handsome, you will be overshadowed by others soon. If you have skills, you can stand on the stage forever.
