In 1980, the novice Wong Jing wanted to invite "Fourth Brother" Patrick Tse to star in a movie

@雩歌_: In 1980, the novice Wong Jing wanted to invite "Fourth Brother" Patrick Tse to star in a movie. At that time, Tse was a top-tier superstar who dominated the Hong Kong entertainment industry, while Wong Jing, as a rookie director, certainly didn't have the budget for him. However, upon learning of this, Patrick Tse and his wife took the initiative to find Wong Jing and agreed to participate. This allowed Wong Jing to embark on his directorial path.
Many years later, Wong Jing repeatedly admitted in public and interviews that he owed the Tse family a favor.
This is called supporting the younger generation.

Still in 1980, TVB was preparing "The Bund," and the original choice for the role of Hui Man-keung was the immensely popular Adam Cheng; the character was practically tailor-made for him. However, Cheng had to drop out due to illness (or scheduling conflicts). But he recommended a promising young actor he highly regarded to the crew. As everyone knows the outcome, the film industry gained a "Fai Gor" (Chow Yun-fat).
This is called supporting the younger generation.

Two years later, in 1982. Director Ann Hui was preparing for "Boat People" and invited Chow Yun-fat to star. The highly sought-after Chow Yun-fat was simply too busy those two years and had no schedule availability. So, he also recommended a newcomer to the director, named Andy Lau. Subsequently, Andy Lau earned a nomination for Best New Performer at the Hong Kong Film Awards that year for this film. The path of another superstar had begun. This is called supporting the younger generation.

On a side note, the three individuals mentioned above. After a decade of honing their craft and struggling in the entertainment industry, they came together in the cast of an "anti-gambling educational" film. Together, they propelled Hong Kong cinema to another peak of a new era.

Let's talk more about this support. If the stories above feel unfamiliar, too dated, and lack relatability, let's move the timeline closer to the present.
In 2005, Andy Lau funded the "Focus: First Cuts" initiative out of his own pocket with 25 million HKD. Among the beneficiaries was an unknown director named Ning Hao, who received a 3 million investment, enabling him to create a film called "Crazy Stone."
In 2016, Ning Hao launched the "Bad Monkey 72 Changes Film Project." It supported another batch of young directors, such as Lu Yang ("Brotherhood of Blades") and Wen Muye ("Dying to Survive"). Another person who also benefited from this was named Guo Fan.
As for the story that followed, most people probably know it. When Guo Fan started shooting "The Wandering Earth," Wu Jing went from agreeing to a free cameo to investing 60 million of his own money to help complete the filming. When the movie hit the theaters, we saw this line in the final scrolling credits: Special Thanks, Mr. Andy Lau.
This, damn it, is what you call supporting the younger generation!

The passing of the torch in the entertainment industry has never been broken. There are still many more people silently doing, silently teaching, and silently helping.
It is precisely thanks to their mutual support that our film and television industry has been able to flourish to where it is today, and could steadily break out of Hollywood's encirclement step by step, expanding our own film market.

Now, you're telling me that by reposting a Weibo post and putting your name as a producer, your purpose is to support the younger generation. Even if you're trying to make me laugh, could you please be a bit more serious and sincere?
