178 [Wu Yaohan]

With the continuous reporting of Xiangjiang media, Myth Films' reputation has become increasingly popular.

Ye Jin thought this was a good thing.

Of course, the more famous the company is, the better.

In "Water Margin", the reason why Song Jiang travels everywhere is that everyone bows his head and worships him because he is [Timely Rain] and [Hubaoyi]'s nickname is famous in Jianghu. So everyone admires him and wants to worship him as his elder brother.

Ye Jin also hopes that Myth Film will be famous, so that it will facilitate recruiting talents and future development.

As expected, with the media's promotion, Myth Film attracted many filmmakers to join.

Because it does not have an official office address yet, these filmmakers cannot find a place to apply for it, so they have to ask their friends to send messages, hoping to see if Ye Jin is willing to take it in.

Among these filmmakers are actors, martial artists, directors, cosmetics, lighting, photography, etc., and they are basically available in all sects.

Most of them come from small and medium-sized film companies. As mentioned earlier, small and medium-sized film companies are very prone to problems. If a movie fails to invest, the entire company may collapse. This leads to the fact that there are always unemployed people in the film industry.

These filmmakers naturally have to find a job again after they are unemployed. Ye Jin's Mythology Film Company has become famous recently, and even a martial arts director, Sun Jin-ying, can become a director, which makes many people feel that they have a chance.

...

Ye Jin did not take all of these people who came to surrender.

Because although Myth Film now has a very famous reputation and awesome momentum, it is second only to the two giants Xiao and Jiahe, and it is the third pole of the Xiangjiang film industry.

However, he knew very well that Myth Film is now a small company. It requires Jiahe’s behind-the-scenes team to make movies, Jiahe’s theaters to be released, and Jiahe’s channels to be released from other places.

It can be said that it is a grass parasitized on the big tree of Jiahe. As long as people cut off the nutrients, it will wither immediately. So it is not qualified to be on par with Jiahe and Xiao.

Since Myth Film is just a grass, it naturally cannot help a few people shelter from the wind and rain. If there are too many people on the grass, the whole grass will probably collapse.

Myth Film now cannot afford to support the behind-the-scenes team, and a medium-sized behind-the-scenes team costs about fifty people.

Photographer, lighting artist, makeup artist, prop artist, art director, costume design, photography assistant, lighting assistant... The bad horse is a bad one, and together, the monthly salary starts at 80,000 Hong Kong dollars. The salary alone is 960,000 yuan, which is not considered as the allowance for movies, and the bonus.

Small companies cannot afford such a money-consuming team. Moreover, there is no need to support it.

If you want to film, just borrow it from a big film company. You can borrow it anytime you use it. There will always be no movies to make people filmed for the time being, and there is no need to raise a group of people. Not only is it burdensome, but it is also thankless.

Therefore, although there were many people coming to join, Ye Jin finally chose two people.

One is Xu Chongxin, a martial artist of Dragon and Tiger, which is the serial piercing thunder smile in "Huang Feihong: Iron Chicken Fighting Centipede". Like Hong Jinfei, he also graduated from a theater school since childhood, but he studied under Tang Di's Oriental Drama School, and his fellow brothers include Cheng Xiaodong, Mars, Yin Fa, etc.

Xu Chongxin entered the industry in the 1960s. Because he did not have the support of noble people, he has always been a supporting role. So far, not to mention being the protagonist, he even has no chance to direct martial arts, so he wanted to come to Myth Film to try his luck.

Ye Jin had watched some movies he had made and knew that this man was good at it, so he kept him.

Although Myth Film now has Sammo Hung, Ye Jin also wants to keep a move and beware of Sammo Hung’s job change if he changes jobs.

Therefore, after Xu Chongxin joined the company, he immediately joined the crew of "Elder". He worked with Yuan Biao, Yuan Hua, Yuan Zi and others to serve as martial arts guides for "Elder".

Xu Chongxin couldn't help but burst into tears of gratitude from being promoted from Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Master to Martial Arts Supervisor.

...

The other one selected by Ye Jin was actor Wu Yaohan. He was recommended by Mai Jiashang.

Unlike Xu Chongxin, who was born in grassroots, Wu Yaohan is a top student who graduated from the Theatre Academy in England. After graduation, he stayed at BBC TV as an actor. In 1970s, he returned to work in Xiangjiang and hosted comedy programs on the wireless station.

Mai Jiashang and Wu Yaohan met at the Youth Activity Center. Mai Jiashang taught film appreciation and Wu Yaohan taught drama performance. Mai Jiashang admired Wu Yaohan's acting skills very much.

However, Wu Yaohan is not particularly good in appearance, and she has a shoe-horned face.

In the early 1970s, the Hong Kong film industry mainly included kung fu films and martial arts films, and comedy films were not popular. The male protagonists were generally handsome men like Wang Li, Di Long, Yue Hua, and David Jiang, and they all had good kung fu.

Comedy like Wu Yaohan naturally finds it difficult to stand out, so he has to feel wronged at working on the wireless station. By the way, he teaches students to perform and enjoy the play.

Mai Jia didn't want to see him fall into such a depravity and wasting his youth, so he recommended him to Ye Jin, hoping that the heroes could have a place to use it.

When Ye Jin saw Wu Yaohan, he felt like he was treasured.

Wu Yaohan is a well-known comedy star in Xiangjiang. His "Five Fortune Stars" series is a classic Hong Kong comedy. Especially when he plays a psychic role, he is full of jokes and is very stolen.

In addition, the box office performance of movies such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" starring Wu Yaohan himself was quite good.

In the drama world, there has been a saying since ancient times that [a thousand lives are easy to get, but an ugly person is hard to find]. It is really not difficult to find a young and handsome young man with a handsome appearance. But it is really rare to find an ugly star who can make everyone laugh.

And Wu Yaohan is just such an ugly star who can make everyone amused. Now he is still coming to his house on his own initiative, which really makes Ye Jin overjoyed.

If Mai Jiashang's hair wasn't too oily, he really wanted to hug him and kiss him well.

...

"Mr. Wu, you are welcome to join our company." Ye Jin smiled, "After seeing your resume, I knew you are a talent."

"Thank you, Mr. Ye." Wu Yaohan was also very happy to see Ye Jin so enthusiastic.

"Let's do it, you can stay in the crew of "Laughter Fist" as the deputy director." Ye Jin said with a smile again, "If there is a suitable role, what if you are promoted to play it?"

He has not seen many comedy movies, and it is even less suitable for filming now. So if you want to make comedy movies, you must first solve the problem of the script.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for a good cook to cook without rice. No matter how good Wu Yaohan's acting skills are, no matter how funny he is, it would be useless if he doesn't have a good script. So for the time being, he can only be arranged as an assistant director.

"Yes, thank you Mr. Ye." Wu Yaohan nodded. He didn't expect that as soon as he entered the company, he would immediately have a protagonist to do it. Ye Jin's statement had already made him very satisfied.
