Against the Current Hong Kong 1979

After Zhang Shuai'an helped to clarify the plot, the entire crew's direction became clear.

Work efficiency has also improved a lot, mainly because everyone knows what to do next, so they don't have to think about what to do every day like headless flies.

Jackie Chan can now concentrate on designing action scenes.

Zhang Shuai'an observed on set how Jackie Chan directed action sequences and how he personally performed the designed moves to bring them to life.

At this time, Jackie Chan was not yet at his full potential, so some of his actions appeared flashy but impractical, and there were even situations where the entertainment value outweighed everything else.

Zhang Shuai'an would occasionally adjust some of Jackie Chan's action sequences based on the style of his later films, making the fight scenes more visually appealing.

Jackie Chan increasingly felt that Zhang Shuai'an was his confidant. He was very easy to use. No matter what he said, Zhang Shuai'an could always get his thoughts immediately and come up with the right action in a short time.

This feeling of being in his element lasted only two or three days, and Jackie Chan felt that he couldn't live without Zhang Shuai'an.

The members of Jackie Chan's stunt team were also stunned. In the past, when they filmed action scenes with Jackie Chan, they might not be able to produce a scene that satisfied him even after a week of shooting.

Now, in a maximum of two days, Zhang Shuai'an can come up with a plan that precisely hits Jackie Chan's sweet spot.

Just as the filming of "Young Master" was in full swing, Shao Daheng's temper had reached a breaking point.

at this time.

In Shao Yifu's office, Fang Yihua, Wang Tianlin and his son, as well as Zhao Zhenqiang and several others were summoned.

Ling Zhijian was also pulled over and stood trembling in front of the conference table, waiting for Shao Yifu's thunderous rage.

"Zhang Shuai'an really joined Golden Harvest?" Fatty Wang asked Ling Zhijian, somewhat incredulous.

Ling Zhijian shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, I was just invited by Jackie Chan to help out with 'Young Master'. Jackie Chan offered HK$250,000, which no one could refuse."

Fang Yihua said coldly, "Does this mean that our Shaw Brothers has mistreated him?"

Ling Zhijian really wanted to ask in return, "What do you think?"

But he didn't have the guts, so he had to remain silent.

Shao Yifu is indeed furious right now, because in his mind, Zou Wenhuai is a traitor.

The incident of Chow Wen-huai leaving Shaw Brothers to found Golden Harvest was a rare stain on Shaw Yi-fu's life. At the time, he even shouted in front of many people, "Raymond the brat!"

Now that kid Zhang Shuai'an actually went to the Golden Harvest film set and even helped Golden Harvest make films, this is simply a provocation against him!

However, Shao Yifu thought again and realized that Zhang Shuai'an had no reason to deliberately do these things to provoke him.

Based on our previous interactions, Zhang Shuai'an is not a fool, but a young man who is very methodical and shrewd.

Gradually, Shao Yifu managed to suppress his anger.

"That Zhang Shuai'an is utterly ungrateful!" Fang Huayi couldn't contain her anger and said directly, "Why don't we just blacklist him? Nothing about him should ever appear on TVB again..."

"Don't be angry, anger will diminish your wisdom!" Shao Yifu interrupted Fang Yihua.

After stopping Fang Yihua's outburst, he looked at Zhao Zhenqiang and the others: "You've spent a month with Zhang Shuai'an, what do you think he's trying to do?"

Zhao Zhenqiang considered his words carefully before speaking slowly, "Anzai is indeed a man of many thoughts, but I believe he wouldn't do anything foolish."

It's as good as saying nothing at all!

Shao Yifu looked at Fatty Wang: "Jingzai, what do you think?"

"I don't think Andy Hui had any intention of targeting us; it's just that Jackie Chan paid him more."

Fatty Wang was thinking of helping Zhang Shuai out: "As everyone knows, he just swam here a little over a month ago and doesn't have much money. Although he became famous for filming 'Young Detective Bao Qingtian,' he didn't receive a single penny for the show."

He needs to eat too; he can't possibly turn down money. If it were me, I'd do it even if they only gave me 20,000 yuan, let alone 250,000.

These words made Shao Yifu feel much more accepting, and he guessed that Zhang Shuai'an probably had similar motives.

Fang Yihua said coldly, "Even so, his contact with people from Jiahe without our consent shows he has a rebellious streak!"

Shao Yifu spoke up for Zhang Shuai'an again: "You can't say that. He didn't sign a long-term contract with TVB, so he's free to take on roles outside of TVB."

Fang Yihua finally realized that Shao Yifu was still eager to recruit talent. After pausing for two or three seconds, he immediately changed his tune: "In that case, why not send someone to contact Zhang Shuai'an again?"

Shao Yifu looked at Wang Tianlin: "Tianlin, what do you think?"

Wang Tianlin's lips moved, and he said slowly, "Anzai is a talented person. Even if he doesn't sign a long-term contract with us, there's no reason to push him to RTV or Golden Harvest."

"That's right." Fatty Wang followed his father's lead and said, "Anzai is very talented, so it's normal for him to be a little arrogant. If he joins RTV and produces a series with high ratings like 'Young Detective Bao Qingtian,' it will be a big blow to Shaw Brothers."

"Then who should we send?" Shao Yifu asked casually.

The group couldn't help but turn their gazes toward Ling Zhijian.

Ling Zhijian shook his head repeatedly: "I don't have that ability, and besides, I'm not qualified enough. If we send me there, Anzai will only think we're not sincere."

"That makes sense." Shao Yifu thought for a moment, then asked Zhao Zhenqiang, "During the filming of the series, who was Zhang Shuai'an closest to?"

Zhao Zhenqiang paused for a moment before replying, "During filming, Zhao Yazhi took good care of Anzai, and Chen Yulian also got along well with Anzai, often flirting and teasing each other."

"Alright, let them go over there together and have a good talk with Zhang Shuai'an."

Shao Yifu said earnestly, "It's not about asking them to reach any agreement, but about having them represent the station to convey goodwill. We've been cooperating very well, there's no need to make things so tense. As for the condition he proposed, there's still room for further discussion."

Wang Tianlin suddenly said softly, "However, both Azi and Yulian are filming 'The Legend of Chu Liuxiang,' I'm afraid..."

At this moment, Fang Yihua spoke up, "What are you afraid of? Azi has been saying she's not feeling well these past two days, so let's give her a couple of days off. As for Chen Yulian, she doesn't have many scenes to begin with, so postponing it for a day or two won't be a problem."

Wang Tianlin was actually a little unhappy, but since Fang Yihua had already said that, he, who always kept his opinions to himself, naturally didn't say anything more.

"Then let's do it this way." Shao Yifu made the decision immediately. "Have her go see Zhang Shuai'an in the next couple of days. This needs to be done quickly; we can't let the people from Li's side make a move first."
