Wu Yusen's "Heroic Nature" Life I, II, III, III, IV, V

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" ></h1>

Before the age of 40, Wu Yusen had been unmotivated.

Before working with Xu Ke, before filming "Little Ma Ge" holding a double gun and holding a toothpick in his mouth, Wu Yusen had been living in a state of confusion.

In addition to depression, there is also infinite confusion about the future, trepidation about life, and deep doubts about his own talent.

Perhaps, it all stems from his childhood, adolescence, and the events and people he experienced in his youth, and the fate that "tormented" him for no reason.

In 1949, 3-year-old Wu Yusen developed an abscess on his back. It was just a small grain at first, and it didn't seem to be a big deal. Unexpectedly, it actually grew when it saw the wind, opened when it saw the sun, and finally completely covered his entire back, itching so much that he could not sleep all night.

The father carried him to the doctor, and the doctor squinted his eyes and said that it was a carbuncle, which was late and had no treatment. Relatives advised their father not to waste any more money.

But the father could not bear to leave Wu Yusen alone, although he had 3 other children. My father said to people —"

"This is my son, and no matter how much it costs, I'm going to heal him."

Next, his father sold his property and sought medical treatment everywhere to treat Wu Yusen. In the end, the emperor paid off and let him find a Western doctor who studied in Germany.

The doctor performed back surgery for Wu Yusen, cured Wu Yusen's "incurable disease", and also retrieved a small life of Wu Yusen, allowing him to stay in the human world and continue to accept the ruthless "torture" of fate.

In 1951, Wu Yusen, who had just turned 5 years old, was mercilessly "tortured" by fate.

This year, Wu Yusen's father suddenly suffered from tuberculosis and was unable to go out to work anymore. As a result, the family's life suddenly plummeted, and they had to move into the slum of Shijiaowei.

Wu Yusen's mother, from then on, went to the quarry during the day to knock on stones, and came back at night to pick up lights to mend shirts, knit sweaters, wash clothes, and earn money to support the family. However, fate does not seem to plan to stop there and easily let go of Wu Yusen's family.

In 1953, fate once again quietly came to the door and ruthlessly "tortured" Wu Yusen for the third time.

This year, a fire broke out in the shek kip tail slum in Hong Kong. "The worst fire in Hong Kong's history, the site of the disaster reached 45 acres, burned 7,000 houses, and affected 60,000 people."

Wu Yusen's home was destroyed by fire, clean and left nothing. Overnight, he became one of the many victims and slept on the streets of North River Street.

After 2 years, the government resettled the poor victims living on the streets in the newly built relocation area of the disaster site, and Wu Yusen's family also moved into relief houses with the help of charities.

One bed, sleep the whole family of 6. Eating, washing, doing work, everything in the public area. 50 years later, Wu Yusen, who became a big director, returned to his hometown and saw everything familiar in front of him, not only sighing -

"The people who live in the settlements, or the poorer they are, the more fighting spirit and the more dignified they are. Because they are poor, they will try to find a direction, find an opportunity to express themselves, and play themselves. ”

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" >2</h1>

In 1955, 9-year-old Wu Yusen finally made his first "good luck" in his life. With the financial support of an American couple, walked into the campus.

"My family was really poor, and until I was 9 years old, I didn't have the opportunity to go to school for formal education. Later, an American family learned about our family's situation and sent money to the church to which we belonged, so that I could study with my younger siblings. ”

Wu Yusen, who went to school, was like entering a heavenly world.

Since then, I have been taking the school as my home, and the happiest and happiest thing every day is to run to school early and queue up to drink a bowl of milk porridge made of relief milk powder mixed with potato flour, and this is Wu Yusen's first meal of the day.

Wu Yusen once said such a sentence -

"I think it was a blessing to be poor in the early years, so that we could continue to struggle for survival in society. If we had grown up in a greenhouse, we might not have the fighting spirit. Because of poverty, the only way to survive is to try to climb up. ”

I thought that when I entered the school, it would be a good life in the future. Study well, grow up safely, find a good job in the future, live well, and it will be a good life in the future.

However, fate had no intention at all, and it was so easy to let go of Wu Yusen's ruthless "torture" again.

Wu Yusen's "Heroic Nature" Life I, II, III, III, IV, V

In October 1956, the Kowloon Riots broke out in Hong Kong.

Wu's school was attacked, and thugs looted property and set fire to shops and cars. More than 300 people were killed or injured, and more than 1,000 factories were forced to shut down.

Years later, Wu Yusen recalls the past and still can't forget the huge impact of violence in his heart when he was 10 years old.

"I have experienced two major riots, one of which was the 'Double Ten Riots' in 1956,...... People were panicked, some people planted bombs on the street, and some people were injured. At that time, I saw with my own eyes that someone was injured and bled to death in front of my house..."

The fierceness of street violence has since been deeply engraved in Wu Yusen's heart, so that he is often awakened by nightmares at night.

Only when his mother accidentally took him to the cinema could he briefly and completely forget the cruel world outside on that big screen full of countless magic and dreams.

Gradually, Wu Yusen fell in love with the movie theater, or more precisely, the big screen in the movie theater. It became his second paradise, second only to the school. Because he could have his own sparkling dreams in that dark auditorium.

Later, he could not wait for his mother to take him, so he stood at the door of the movie theater and begged every adult who looked kind and kind to take him in, watch one show after another. Until one time, something finally went wrong.

"That time I pulled a man's clothes to dress up his son, but I didn't expect that the stairs were only halfway up, so I grabbed the attendant. He slapped me, and as soon as I lost my footing, I rolled down the stairs, and the man caught up and kicked me out of the doorway. ”

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" >3</h1>

Wu Yusen, who has been accustomed to violence since childhood and has been eroded by violence, has to face violence and find his own way of confrontation.

His way is simple: watch movies and read books. He read theology, philosophy, history, and fine arts. Learn from it the Christian spirit of benevolence and forgiveness.

He also read novels, such as "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Assassin's Biography", etc., and the chivalrous spirit and uneven brotherhood in these novels let him see another beautiful human world.

As he grew older, the films wu Yusen selected in the cinema have gradually changed from comedies to Hollywood gangsters and Westerns.

At the time, the film directors he admired most were the French director Pierre Melville and the American director Sam Paikinpa.

"Manhattan Twosome", "Terrible Children", "Second Breath", "Savage Gang", "Deadly Partner", "Cowherd Blood and Tears Beauty Grace", "Straw Dog", "Earth-shattering Head Grabbing" and so on.

These movies have let Wu Yusen, who is still a teenager, see what is film violence, and those tense and terrifying breathless but simultaneously gripping storylines.

Wu Yusen's "Heroic Nature" Life I, II, III, III, IV, V

In 1957, at the age of 11, Wu Yusen continued to immerse himself in the violent world of foreign films.

It would never have occurred to him that in the same year, a 33-year-old director named Zhang Che was arranged by fate to come to Hong Kong from Taiwan and would become his first enlightenment teacher in his film career in the future.

The filmmaker, who had written and directed Taiwan's first Chinese blockbuster "Alishan Storm", was promoted by Chiang Ching-kuo to be a commissioner of the General Political Department of the Ministry of National Defense and a colonel in the military rank.

I never thought that the peak of my career would be in Hong Kong.

Ten years later, his martial arts film "One-Armed Knife" became the first blockbuster in Hong Kong to exceed one million at the box office in one night. He, on the other hand, is known as the standard-bearer of Hong Kong's "New Martial Arts Century" and the "Tyrant" of the Hong Kong film industry.

At the same time, it has also become the originator of Hong Kong violent films.

And Wu Yusen will take over his banner and become the leader and integrator of Hong Kong violent films.

Similarly, in the same year, the "Li's Yingsheng" radio station was founded. 20 years later, the "Li TV" Asian Singing Contest was held, which won the popularity of Zhang Guorong, who was later called "brother".

At the same time, Wu Yusen also began his original dream of directing.

"When I was eleven, I liked to draw little people on glass with a brush, and then take a bed to cover myself, find a flashlight, turn it on and shine it on the glass, so that the image will be projected on the wall, moving and moving, just like a movie." 」

Wu Yusen's "Heroic Nature" Life I, II, III, III, IV, V

In 1960, fate did not forget to continue to mercilessly "torture" Wu Yusen.

This year, 14-year-old Wu Yusen witnessed the death of his father and the collapse of his mother. There is also the fact that he is bullied by those "bad teenagers" in society on his way to school every day.

Every time he goes out, Wu Yusen will grab a brick in his hand, or take a wooden stick, ready to walk out of the alley, he may be greeted with a blow to the head.

"If anyone attacks me, I must fight back." Because in that environment, if you are not strong, the bad guys will bully you. But once I really couldn't get enough. ”

And the teenager Wu Yusen, in such a harsh environment, was not only beaten every day, but also splashed with water once.

"The water splashed on my face, and I cried out in pain. As soon as my mother heard this, she ran out, and an aunt from the neighbor also ran out to see what was going on..."

Fortunately, the aunt was very strong, and she couldn't help but immediately pick up Wu Yusen and immerse herself in the large water tank outside the house, so that Wu Yusen was not completely disfigured. When I think about it to this day, I still have palpitations.

But these pains are not as good as the death of my father.

For a long time after his father's death, Wu Yusen could not concentrate on studying, and the movies he liked to watch before could not be mentally watched, and he was groggy and trance-like all day.

More than 30 years later, every time Wu Yusen recalled his father, he couldn't help but cry.

He often told me a lot of ideological things, and he also combined the teachings of Confucius with Jesus to teach me the principles of being a human being. Unfortunately, when I had a certain achievement in my career and wanted to repay him, he was no longer there.

I really wanted to tell Dad that I loved him, but it was too late! ”

Wu Yusen's "Heroic Nature" Life I, II, III, III, IV, V

In 1964, at the age of 18, Wu Yusen happened to do a small thing. Unexpectedly, it changed his fate.

This year, Wu Yusen, who had graduated from middle school but had no money to go to college, either soaked in the library all day to read books, or sneaked to the door of the cinema at night to find a way to mix in and watch movies.

And the only way he gets his income is to work odd jobs around, doing whatever he wants as long as he gives money. For example, porters, water deliverers, grape sellers, and writing.

At that time, Wu Yusen lived in the Shijiaowei Migration Area, with one house after another, and the neighbors knew each other well. Everyone has a preference, that is, eating dog meat. Every time they killed a dog, the dog's miserable scream was terrifying to Wu Yusen.

Wu Yusen felt that killing dogs was the cruelest thing in the world, and every time he killed a dog, his heart broke for a few days. Therefore, he wrote out this collapse in his heart and wrote a "Record of Killing Dogs".

As a result, "Killing Dogs" was published by China Student Weekly.

Since then, Wu Yusen and China Student Weekly have become acquainted, and thus met Mr. Lin Yueheng, the president of the weekly newspaper.

Years later, Wu Yusen said to himself that without China Student Weekly and Mr. Lin Yueheng, there would be no Wu Yusen today. Mr. Lin Yueheng later set up the Founding Academy and also set up the "Life Film Group", which was open to the public for free.

Wu Yusen's "Heroic Nature" Life I, II, III, III, IV, V

Because of the care of Mr. Lin Yueheng, Wu Yusen learned to carve, learn art, and learn poetry in the founding college. Of course, it's more about studying movies...

"At that time, there was a group of film lovers who had a great influence on me, and they were all my enlightenment teachers, like Rocca, Shi Qi, Xixi, Jin Bingxing, Lin Niantong..."

With the passage of time, Wu Yusen's interest in making movies has become increasingly strong. A group of them usually work to earn money, save enough, go to buy film, and then make movies together.

In 1968, the 22-year-old Wu Yusen, at the invitation of Shi Qi, a good partner of the "film group", not only served as the screenwriter of the film "Dead Knot", but also served as the male protagonist in the film, and a group of good buddies rushed to make an experimental film, although it was only 19 minutes.

The story tells of two men, one whipping the other on the back. The beater smiled, and after the whipping, he gently stroked the wound of the beaten.

The ambiguity and poetry between teenagers fill the whole film, oh, it turns out to be a film showing gay love.

Wu Yusen's "Heroic Nature" Life I, II, III, III, IV, V

In 1969, 23-year-old Wu Yusen made another good luck.

Hong Kong Cathay Film Company's first open recruitment, Wu Yusen was selected and became a field reporter. Soon, he also became an assistant director of an unknown director. However, Wu Yusen's interest is still in experimental films.

"In the past, making experimental films was a real fever, and when I was an assistant director at Cathay Pacific, I earned two hundred yuan a month, one hundred yuan for my mother's home, and one hundred yuan for experimental films. In order to save money, I always buy a can of eggplant juice beans with six millimeters, and then buy a pound of square bags with two millimeters, which is a meal. ”

At that time, Wu Yusen was forward-thinking, passionate and romantic, his hair was never ignored, directly draped over his shoulders, and his upper body always wore a corset shirt, and his pants were colored flared pants.

In my heart, I was full of boiling blood dedicated to the art of film; on my face, I was a wave of resentment and helplessness towards an unfair society.

In 1971, fate saw that Wu Yusen had spent 2 years of comfortable days, so he quietly disturbed him again and began the Nth ruthless "torture".

Cathay Pacific Film Company officially "went out of business" and transferred the studio to Jiahe. Wu Yusen then lost his job.

But there was no invincible road in heaven, and just when Wu Yusen felt that he was cornered, fate once again took care of him. A good friend named Qiu Gangjian introduced him to Shaw's chief gold medal director Zhang Che.

Wu Yusen's "Heroic Nature" Life I, II, III, III, IV, V

"I went to see him trembling and worshipping the master, so I was so nervous that I didn't know how to talk to him. Zhang Che was really a master, and as soon as he stood up, he already had a kind of majesty. But when the conversation began, I found that his original personality was very cheerful and completely informal. ”

Zhang Che is hong Kong's first million box office director, once made a martial arts blockbuster such as "One-Armed Knife", and was directly called "Zhang Million" by Run Run Shaw, and he was pampered. Seeing Wu Yusen, he nodded slightly and looked at the skinny young man in front of him.

"In fact, we don't have to say too much, as soon as I heard that I was a part of the China Student Weekly and the University Life Film Club, he was already very happy, and then I saw my enthusiasm for movies and my understanding of movies.

He said OK very happily, and he didn't have to pour tea or perform those rituals, so he accepted me..."

As a result, Wu Yusen became the assistant director of Zhang Che, that is, playing a subordinate, running errands or something.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" >4</h1>

From then on, Wu Yusen began his career as an apprentice under Zhang Che. However, he hardly went to the liquor store after each work, first, because he had no money, and second, he had to sort out the material shot on the day, which went straight to the late night, resulting in frequent skipping.

"In the past, I longed for European romance, and later after watching Zhang Che's movies such as "The Great Assassin" and "One-Armed Knife", I also fell in love with the romance of Chinese martial arts.

I admired Zhang Che at that time, and I suddenly found that in addition to the film masters like Truffaut, Stanley Kubrick, Sam Bijingbai and Kurosawa Ming, it turned out that we also had a Mr. Zhang Che in China! ”

Wu Yusen's "Heroic Nature" Life I, II, III, III, IV, V

However, learning art from Zhang Che is not a simple thing. Zhang Che is a perfectionist and demands to be 100%.

"Although Zhang Che often loses his temper on the set, he has a lot of respect for each of us. He often asked me to help him with some editing work, and every time he told me, I had done my homework. So Mr. Zhang trusted me very much, and every time he ate on the set, he always asked me to sit next to him and eat with him. David Jiang and his group of brothers saw it and always laughed at me secretly. ”

Not only that, Wu Yusen did not waste the precious opportunity given to him by fate, and studied hard while working hard.

"I learned too much from Mr. Zhang. And I think the biggest gain is to learn his shooting and cutting skills.

Mr. Zhang always shoots a lot of shots, even repeats some of the same shots, and likes to shoot literary dramas for a long time. When shooting martial arts scenes, he likes to use slow motion to deal with them. ”

Under Zhang Che, Wu Yusen not only learned how to make movies, but also began to shoot drag for the first time, and met Niu Chunlong, a Taiwanese girl who also worked under Zhang Che.

"My wife and I know each other, also because of Zhang Che. She came to Hong Kong from Taiwan, joined Zhang Che's longbow company screenwriting team, learned to write, and also followed Zhang Che on the spot. ”

The assistant director fell in love with The Little Field, and everything came so naturally. Unexpectedly, after learning the strict and seriousness of director Zhang Che, Wu Yusen actually used this set on the object of shooting.

"First date, in a restaurant. Everyone was shy, and when I drank tea, I noticed that she was painted with red codane. I'm a more old-fashioned person, I don't know how to be funny, so I told her that I don't like girls to wear nail polish..."

Wu Yusen's "Heroic Nature" Life I, II, III, III, IV, V

Unexpectedly, Niu Chunlong was not annoyed, but listened quietly, and then, did not say anything.

The next day, when she saw Wu Yusen again, Niu Chunlong deliberately put his hands under the tablecloth, and when he was eating, he suddenly raised his two hands and said mischievously to Wu Yusen- "Look, there is no nail polish!" ”

In 1973, 27-year-old Wu Yusen, after studying next to Zhang Che for two years, finally jumped to try to start shooting his debut film , "Passerby".

Martial arts instructor Fang Shilong, that is, Jackie Chan's big brother who later became a kung fu superstar. When the two met in Micro, both were newcomers to the film industry. Naturally, no one bought it, and "Passerby" really became a passer-by. Wu Yusen's life has also fallen into a dilemma again.

Unexpectedly, there was a boss who suddenly remembered him.

Jiahe boss He Guanchang, accidentally watched the film taken by Wu Yusen and thought it was great. Therefore, it was decided to sign Wu Yusen. However, the condition is obedience.

It turned out that Jiahe wanted to make a comedy and make the audience happy. He Guanchang feels that Wu Yusen's "Passerby" has a delicate way of expressing feelings, and parallel editing allows male and female protagonists to do the same thing in different time and space, which is very novel and enjoyable.

I asked Wu Yusen to change his "Passerby" to "Iron Man Tenderness" and fill it with old wine in a new bottle. The low cost makes it possible to amuse the audience and sell it for money.

Wu Yusen's "Heroic Nature" Life I, II, III, III, IV, V

Wu Yusen just talked about his girlfriend, waited for the money to be used, and reluctantly agreed. But after filming, I felt that I had lied to myself. The movie he wanted to make, it wasn't.

Therefore, without stopping, Wu Yusen made his understanding of the film, such as violence, resentment, oppression, resistance, etc., into the film. The film was cut out and put on the theater, and the audience actually cried when they looked at it.

What kind of comedy movie is this, it is clearly a tragedy. He Guanchang was angry, and quickly asked his subordinates to send Wu Yusen away, telling him to go where he was cool and not to bother him again.

At this time, Xu Guanwen came to Wu Yusen and asked him to help him shoot his debut film "Ghost Horse Double Star", which sold well at the box office. This made Wu Yusen more determined to make his own "style" film.

Since then, Wu Yusen has filmed "Women's Taekwondo Heroes", "Emperor Girl Flower", "Shaolin Gate", "Send Money Cold", "Money Is Strange". Among them, "SendIng Money Cold" also won the second place in the box office of Hong Kong films in 1977 with a box office of 5 million Hong Kong dollars.

But Wu Yusen couldn't be happy, because it wasn't his dream.

"At that time, I was full of anger at society, and many of the comedies I made were angry and full of satire on society, and the audience didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, so my comedy was not successful."

Wu Yusen's "Heroic Nature" Life I, II, III, III, IV, V

This year, Wu Yusen was busy and took time to get married. Years later, his wife Niu Chunlong recalled:

"At that time, we were very miserable, although Wu Yusen was a director, but the salary was very low, he asked Jiahe Company to borrow money to buy me a platinum ring and a double ticket back to Hong Kong. We only spent $12 on our civil marriage in Los Angeles, and we didn't even have a wedding party. ”

Because of the comedy, Wu Yusen became a celebrity of New Art City Company. But making comedy is not Wu Yusen's dream. Therefore, when the new art city constantly asked Wu Yusen to create new dramas, Wu Yusen thought of a person - Xu Ke, who was 4 years younger than himself.

At this time, Xu Ke, 27 years old, was still a new director in Hong Kong, but he also came to prominence with New Wave films. Therefore, Wu Yusen recommended Xu Ke to enter the New Art City and started Xu Ke's film legendary career.

For a few years later, Xu Ke helped the backhand to repay the favor and helped Wu Yusen shoot "The True Colors of Heroes" to lay a beautiful foreshadowing.

Subsequently, in 1981, the 31-year-old Xu Ke made a movie like "Ghost Horse Wisdom Multi-Star", which won the Golden Horse Award nomination for best director in one fell swoop, and Wu Yusen sat on the stage, more excited than he won the award.

However, things are unpredictable.

In 1983, Wu Yusen, who was already 37 years old, was terminated by Jiahe. In desperation, he had to accept the invitation of his good brother Xu Ke and officially joined the New Art City Film Company.

Unexpectedly, because of his shooting methods, he was snubbed by investors. Finally, it was also "distributed" to Taiwan to open up new markets. It was in these 2 years in Taiwan that Wu Yusen was blessed with misfortune and his fate changed.

Wu Yusen's "Heroic Nature" Life I, II, III, III, IV, V

After Wu Yusen made the comedies "Laughing Craftsman" and "Two Tigers" in Taiwan, the response was still mediocre. Then, then there was nothing to do, and the opportunity to make a film was gone.

And it is this "Two Tigers", Xu Ke, who made a cameo appearance in the film, had nothing to do one day, looking for Wu Yusen to drink and chat, a few glasses of wine, the two chatted about their respective film dreams.

Wu Yusen couldn't help it again, and mentioned the "heroic gun battle film" that he had been brewing in his heart for a long time. For example, remake one of the most enjoyable Cantonese films he ever saw in the '60s, The True Colors of Heroes.

Unexpectedly, things turned out to be so coincidental. Xu Ke also had this intention earlier, and the more the two talked, the more excited they became, and decided to start shooting as soon as possible on the spot. Xu Ke patted Wu Yusen's shoulder and said proudly:

"Since we all want to make 'The True Colors of Heroes,' then I'll supervise the production and you'll be the director."

However, fate may always love to make some little jokes. For example, before lifting you up, push you to the ground, and then watch your reaction to see if you are a person who can afford to joke and can play together.

In 1985, Wu Yusen, who was still one year away from entering the 40-year-old mark. The film "The Laughing Man", shot in Taiwan, once again suffered a box office fiasco.

New Art City also learned Jiahe, and without saying a word, he directly swept Wu Yusen out of the door. Wu Yusen, who felt that he had lost his face, returned to Hong Kong alone in a gray and slippery manner, and before he could catch his breath, he was kindly advised by someone to ——

"You've just retired, and you have time to do something else."

Only Xu Ke, comforting Wu Yusen, invited him to be the director, filmed "The True Colors of Heroes", and personally served as an executive producer.

Wu Yusen's "Heroic Nature" Life I, II, III, III, IV, V

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" >5</h1>

In 1986, at the age of 40, Wu Yusen experienced the most exciting and magical year of his life.

This year, he turned over as a master and jumped to the peak of his life overnight; this year, he and his old friend Xu Ke actually "turned their faces" and did not recognize people, and parted ways and went their separate ways. This year, Wu Yusen "replaced the knife in Zhang Che's movie with a gun, which became my "Hero Essence". ”

This year, Dillon, who is also 40 years old like Wu Yusen, was also swept out of the house by Shaw because of his anger. Zhang Guorong, who is 10 years younger than both of them, has just made 3 movies in the film industry, and has no response, and is still an authentic newcomer.

The funniest is Zhou Runfa, although only 1 year older than Zhang Guorong, but the 31-year-old has been debuting for many years and is an old filmmaker. After filming one film after another, filming one street fight after another, he was sent to the nickname "box office poison", and the situation was even worse than Wu Yusen.

However, it is these few people who have created the miracle of Hong Kong cinema overnight, and they have also created their own miracles in life.

After the release of the film "The True Colors of Heroes", it sold 34.65 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, breaking the box office record of Hong Kong films and becoming the annual champion. Wu Yusen also won the first award for the first time - the 23rd Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards for Best Director.

Wu Yusen's "Heroic Nature" Life I, II, III, III, IV, V

Years later, Wu Yusen recalled——

At that time, Xu Ke asked me, why don't you put your own experience in it? "The True Colors of Heroes" is largely about me and my friends. I hadn't seen Chow Yun-fat's other works before shooting, but I would assume on the spot and ask him if he had ever been betrayed in his life.

Suppose a friend of yours for many years betrays you, you once helped him start a business and gain fame, but he stabbed him, have you ever had this experience? ”

Zhou Runfa was tearfully asked by Wu Yusen, wiping his tears while saying his feelings.

"I swear I'll never let a gun point at my head again!"

"I've been unlucky for so many years, just to wait for an opportunity, not to prove how great I am, I just want to tell others that what I lost, I must take it back with my own hands!" 」

Wu Yusen wrote these words verbatim into the script.

"In that scene on the street, Zhou Runfa was not acting at all, just thinking about his friend, he was really crying."

Wu Yusen's "Heroic Nature" Life I, II, III, III, IV, V

Even Wu Yusen's wife Niu Chunlong said——

"When filming "The True Colors of Heroes", Wu Yusen's film skills and life experience have matured, and he has been in a state of sadness and melancholy in his career before, and "The True Colors of Heroes" allows him to vent his feelings to the fullest.

Growing up in the slums of Hong Kong, he believed in the social creed of "countering violence with violence", and he was very enjoyable and talented in making such films. ”

"The True Colors of Heroes" was a big seller, and Xu Ke, who was good at calculation, saw the business opportunity and urged Wu Yusen to hurry up and shoot a sequel.

Wu Yusen did not disagree, but Xu Ke felt that he was the boss, or the overlord was commanding the hard bow. Wu Yusen was unhappy, but he still put up with it. Although in the end he also made "Hero True Colors 2", but there is always a knot in his heart.

Later, after Wu Yusen finished filming "Blood Double Male", he decided to leave "Xu Ke Studio" and go to the United States. Unexpectedly, the two old friends have since said goodbye to each other and have never intersected again.

Is it true that brothers can only share the same tribulations, not the same riches?

In 1992, 46-year-old Wu Yusen, after filming "Hot Hand Detective" in Hong Kong, was invited by Universal to go to the United States to shoot the action movie "The Ultimate Target".

Later, he filmed "Changing Faces" starring Nicolas Cage and John Travolta, which won the Golden Circle Award of the All-American Chinese Art Foundation. There was another film starring Tom Cruise that jumped to the top of the global box office that year, "Mission Impossible 2".

These two films allowed Wu Yusen to successfully obtain the famous Chinese director in Hollywood who has the "final editing rights".

Moreover, it is also recognized by the mainstream entertainment industry in the United States, and is ranked in the "world-class masters" array, ranking seventh in the list of global blockbuster directors.

On September 4, 2010, at the 67th Venice Film Festival, 64-year-old Wu Yusen won the "Golden Lion Award for Lifetime Achievement". Quentin Tarantino, a 47-year-old Italian-American director, took to the stage to present him with the award.
