In the new episode, Shawn Yue invited his long-time friend Danzu Wu to serve as a guest, and the two talked about topics such as Racing , family and career.
Now, Shawn Yue and Daniel Wu are both fathers. Daniel Wu said that after becoming a father, he has a clear goal and does not want to keep filming. Filming may be to make money and make the child’s future safe, but he cannot be with his children at this moment. Children do not recognize you and do not know what kind of person his father is. This has no meaning.
However, this is just their own choice. There are still many workaholics in the entertainment industry. They will not stop filming just because they have families. Some people even don’t get married or have children, and focus on their work, such as Louis Koo .
Yu WenleDanzu Wu has talked to Louis Koo. They revealed that Louis Koo has made a lot of money in filming for many years, but he is still working hard to revitalize the Hong Kong film industry. The reason is that he has raised a large class of employees and has to pay astronomical salaries every month.
Yu Wenle said that he had asked Louis Koo why he was so tired and still couldn't stop. The other party replied, "Do you think I don't want to stop? Do you know how much salary I have to pay to employees a month? XXX million, if I don't do it, they will not have a job..."
Yu Wenle mentioned a number in the program, and later silenced the number, and Hong Kong media made the number public. It turned out to be 4 million Hong Kong dollars per month (about 3.4 million yuan). Louis Koo's salary is half a million Hong Kong dollars a year. No wonder he is still taking on the show.
Yu Wenle admires Louis Koo very much. He has a sense of social responsibility. He not only regards employees as his family, but also wants to help more people in the film industry. He believes that if he shoots more works, he can bring more job opportunities to filmmakers.
Indeed, Louis Koo was worried about the Hong Kong entertainment industry. On June 20, he attended the press conference of "The New Chapter of Cultural Creation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area" with Leonardo , Lin Jianyue , Yang Shoucheng , Eric Tsang , Lin Jiaxin , Xiong Dailin and others.
Louis Koo went on stage to speak as the producer of the movie "Ladder", revealing that he hired many young people to help realize his dream of film and increase employment rate this time.
Louis Koo also accepted donations from wealthy businessman Liu Luanxiong , and filmed several new movies every year, trying to allow more people to participate in the movie work so as not to "stop the hand and the mouth".
For Louis Koo, filming is no longer his personal job, but a self-rescue action in the Hong Kong film industry.
Back to the "Inside Out" program itself, it can be inferred from the conversation between Shawn Yue and Daniel Wu that the program was filmed several months ago. At that time, Daniel Wu's father had not passed away. He happily talked about his father's symptoms of Alzheimer's disease on the show.
Danzu Wu revealed that he gave up his career in Hong Kong and returned to Los Angeles to live in order to accompany his father, especially when his father saw his granddaughter, he became very happy, which strengthened his decision to shift his career focus to Hollywood .
Shawn Yue agreed with Daniel Wu’s approach, because he changed his ideas after getting married and having children, and he didn’t want to live the days of filming day and night.
It turns out that Shawn Yue and Daniel Wu have been in the industry for many years and have made countless movies, but on average, each work may only take 14 to 20 days. Shawn Yue smiled and said that he had tried it in the shortest time to finish it in 8 days.
Daniel Wu added that it took him 27 days to shoot the classic Hong Kong film " New Junior Sister " with Miriam Yeung and . Because the director and screenwriter are very experienced, and the actors all know how to shoot, everyone quickly completed the work.
especially in the film machine era in Hong Kong, every roll of film is money. The film director must control every dialogue among the actors, and the actors must also focus on acting to avoid too many NGs. Otherwise, no matter how famous you are, you will be scolded by the director.
Yu Wenle and Daniel Wu admire Hong Kong directors very much, especially outstanding talents such as Liu Weiqiang and Yau Litao . They all have a characteristic, which is that they cut movies in their minds while filming, and will not waste any shots of the actors.
Recalling that they didn't know anything in the early days of entering the industry, they always asked the director various questions. Shawn Yue smiled and said, "I was scolded by Liu Weiqiang. You know nothing, just say your own dialogue."
Daniel Wu only learned to speak Cantonese because he entered the industry and filmed. When acting, he was often swearing by the director in "gives" in "gives" because he was not accurate in pronunciation. Until now, he still doesn't understand Chinese very much. If he reads the script, he can probably understand about a quarter of it.
