Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 107

Yang Ye's film editing work is very easy because he has ready-made movies as reference and rarely shoots useless material.

For every scene, just pick the best from the same shots.

This fact makes Hu Jinquan admire him very much, because even if Hu Jinquan has a detailed shot script in advance, he will still end up shooting a lot of useless material.

He could only pick and choose from a lot of material, reluctant to delete this part and cut that part. The final result was that the length of "The Heroine" reached three hours.

The duration of a movie these days is generally only about eight or ten minutes. If you give it three hours, who has the patience to watch it?It is reasonable to rush into the street.

Hu Jinquan, adhering to the spirit of "there must be one teacher among us", asked Yang Ye for advice: "Why can you control the plot direction of a movie so accurately and roughly calculate the duration of the movie before filming starts?"

Yang Ye smiled and said, "How about we play a game of chess?"

The two found a game of chess. After setting it up, Yang Ye said, "Yinyin, give me your silk scarf!"

Then he covered his eyes with Hu Yinmeng's silk scarf.

Hu Jinquan was shocked: "Are you playing blind chess?"

Yang Ye nodded and said: "Yinyin, come and help me, we will be equal to each other."

After hearing this, Hu Yinmeng helped Yang Yefei take a look.

Hu Jinquan also had some accomplishments in chess. He said to himself, "I don't believe you can beat me even if you are blindfolded." He said: "Bishop 3 draws 5." He also flew a bishop.

Yang Ye said without thinking, "Three soldiers advance to one."

Hu Jinquan said: "I will follow, and the pawn will advance from 3 to 1."

Yang Ye smiled and said: "If you keep following, you will lose. Horse two will lead to three."

Hu Jinquan followed for three steps and then stopped.Yang Ye jumped on a horse again, and he got on a knight.

The two went to No. 20 for the third move, and Yang Ye was a bad horse, general.

Hu Jinquan exclaimed "f*ck" and admitted defeat.

Hu Jinquan threw the chess pieces on the chessboard and said: "I understand, mortals like you cannot compete with gods like you."

Yang Ye can understand the entire chess game without looking at the chessboard. It is possible to plan the entire movie in his mind before shooting.

And the facts prove that he did it.

At the meeting of Baiyang Pictures, Yang Ye said: "Time is tight, we divide the work and cooperate, I will bring people to handle the wire marks and yellow screen coverings.

Lao Hu, please lead the team to edit the pornographic film carefully, check for omissions and fill in the gaps, and avoid bugs.

Yo-Yo Ma is coming to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow. Sister Meng, please pick him up personally and don’t neglect him.

Teresa Teng will also come to Hong Kong to record the theme song in the past few days. Ah Feng, you are responsible for entertaining her.

Also, you two will be responsible for proofreading the Chinese and English subtitles of the movie, Ah Hua and Yin Yin. "

The soundtrack of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was composed by Tan Dun, a mainland composer living in the United States. The internationally renowned Chinese cellist Yo-Yo Ma serves as the lead performer. Li Wen, who is compatible with Eastern and Western pop culture, is responsible for singing the theme song "Moonlight Lover" (A) in Chinese and English. Love Before Time).

As for Tan Dun, Yang Ye refused to invite him. Tan Dun was only a teenager now and might not be able to complete the soundtrack for the movie, so Yang Ye copied it directly.

Yo-Yo Ma became famous in 1971 when he performed a cello recital at Carnegie Hall in New York that astonished everyone. Now he is an internationally renowned cellist.

Yang Ye had invited him as early as a month ago. Now Yang Ye is also an internationally renowned filmmaker. He can score music for Yang Ye's movies, and Yo-Yo Ma happily agreed.

As for the song "Moonlight Lover", it's a bit troublesome. There is no such thing as Li Wen in the Chinese music scene who is compatible with Chinese and Western singers. Yang Ye has no choice but to call Lijun Deng back to try.

Don't let the rich water go to outsiders' fields, just make do with it.

Everyone nodded, and Yang Ye said again: "Lao Hu, you used Peking Opera ideas to accompany martial arts and chases in "Dragon Gate Inn". You used gongs, drums, and bangban to match the characters' eyes, gestures, and running and jumping. It was very creative. I plan to This method will be used in several battles between Yu Jiaolong and Yu Xiulian. Please cooperate with Wu Dajiang on this matter. In addition, I also invited Wu Dajiang's symphony orchestra to cooperate with Yo-Yo Ma. The coordination between them , Sister Meng, you should be responsible!"

Wu Dajiang is a musical genius who spans the Chinese music circles in Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and is a foundational figure in the symphonicization of Chinese music. He has scored hundreds of films and is Hu Jinquan's best friend and partner.

In order for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to land in North America this year, all matters must be resolved within a month.

After the explanation was completed, everyone went about their business.

Not long ago, Yo-Yo Ma and Teresa Teng arrived in Hong Kong one after another. Xia Meng took Yo-Yo Ma to the Peninsula Hotel to settle down, while Teresa Teng stayed at Yang Ye's house alone.

The next day, Yang Ye, Hu Jinquan, and Xia Meng jointly hosted a banquet for four musicians, Yo-Yo Ma, Wu Dajiang, Teresa Teng, and Zheng Donghan. During the dinner, they solemnly handed over the film soundtrack and theme song to them.

More than 20 days later, all post-processing of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was completed.Hu Jinquan, Yo-Yo Ma, Wu Dajiang and others all completed their tasks brilliantly.

It was the theme song that Lijun Deng and Zheng Donghan were responsible for. Yang Ye sounded a little weird, even though Lijun Deng deliberately changed her vocal method to sing it in order to fit the temperament of the song.

Maybe it's because Yang Ye is used to listening to Li Wen's version.

However, Li Wen is still a baby now.

Baby...her legs?

……

Yang Ye and Xu Feng brought some gifts and, under the guidance of Chen Long, walked into a hospital.

"Akui, Young Master Yang and Sister Feng are here to see you."

Yuan Kui was lying on the hospital bed with a cast on his foot.

When I was doing martial arts a few days ago, I jumped from a high place, landed unstable, and suffered a slight fracture.

"Young Master Yang, Sister Feng!" Yuan Kui struggled to stand up.

"Don't move, don't move! Take good care of your injuries." Yang Ye put down the gift and said to Chen Long: "Aaron, brothers were injured during filming. You must use the best treatment methods and don't be afraid of spending money."

Chen Long said: "Don't worry, Mr. Yang. This hospital specializes in orthopedics and is very famous in Hong Kong. We all come here for treatment when we are injured. I have come here several times myself."

Speaking of injuries during filming, Yang Ye is also filming action scenes. He has almost never been injured, and even if he has been, they are minor injuries.

Because with Shenwei's precise calculations, he can avoid danger to the greatest extent possible.

"If you practice the training methods I teach you more, you should be able to avoid unnecessary injuries. You see, I also shoot action scenes, so I rarely get injured!"

"I practice every day, and it really works."

Yang Ye and others were standing in front of Yuan Kui's hospital bed and chatting. A young man in the bed next door suddenly said: "Are you Young Master Yang?"

Yang Ye turned his head and said with a smile: "Yes!"

The young man exclaimed again: "Wow, you are Chen Long, you are Xu Feng. Can you sign your name for me?"

"Okay!" Yang Ye said, took out a pen and asked: "Where to sign?"

The boy patted his leg that was in plaster and said, "Sign here!"

Yang Ye signed his plaster leg and asked, "How did you do it?"

"Skating!" the boy said nonchalantly.

Next, Chen Long and Xu Feng also signed their names on his plaster leg. The young man was very happy.

Yang Ye said to Chen Long: "Since you often come here to treat injuries, why don't I donate a sum of money to this hospital."

"That would be too expensive!"

"It's okay. This way the hospital will treat the brothers better."

As he said that, Yang Ye ran to the dean and said that he wanted to donate a batch of equipment to the hospital. Of course the dean couldn't ask for more. Is there such a good thing?

Yang Ye readily donated 200 million to the hospital to purchase a batch of medical equipment.Then, the dean took Yang Ye on a tour of the hospital with a cheerful smile, and even took him to visit the patients.

To express condolences to the patients, Young Master Yang Ye had to give some gifts to the patients.

After going around several wards, Shenwei finally scanned the person Yang Ye was looking for.

Yang Ye walked to the hospital bed of a two or three-year-old baby and asked, "Why is she hospitalized at such a young age?"

The baby's mother said: "My daughter has a congenital disability in her left leg. She can't walk. The doctor said she needs surgery to correct her bones."

Yang Ye asked the dean: "Does this kind of surgery have a high success rate?"

The dean asked someone to take a look at the little girl's medical record and said, "About 50%."

"Is there a way to go higher?"

The director said: "Our hospital has limited conditions. If we can send it to the top hospital in the United States, the success rate should be increased by [-]%."

Yang Ye found that the little baby was looking at him curiously, with two shiny black eyes, and asked with a smile: "Baby, what's your name?"

"My name is Li Meilin!" She said in a coquettish voice, and then asked: "Uncle, what is your name?"

Yang Ye was happy, this little guy was not afraid of anything at all.

From this point of view, people like them have a natural desire to perform, so they will have the opportunity to become big stars in the future.

"My name is Yang Ye, please remember!"

"Yang Ye, mother, his name is Yang Ye."

"You're not polite, call me uncle!" Li's mother reprimanded, and then said to Yang Ye: "Young Master Yang, don't mind, the child is young and not sensible."

Yang Ye smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, she is very smart and very lovable. Where is her father?"

"My husband has passed away due to illness."

"Oh, sorry."

"It doesn't matter, it's been several years."

"The director just said that the success rate of Merrill Lynch's surgery is less than [-]%. I think. If possible, why not send her to the United States for treatment?"

Mother Li said helplessly: "I can no longer afford the top hospitals in the United States."

Yang Ye said: "Since we have met, it can be regarded as a kind of fate. What I mean by mentioning this is that I will pay for the treatment expenses."

Mother Li was shocked. Is there such a good thing?

In the original time and space, Li Meilin's operation failed. She relied on her right leg to support her whole body, learned to walk, and began to learn to dance.

Many years later, she relied on her tenacious perseverance to grow into a generation of queens in the Chinese music scene. She is Li Wen.

Yang Ye came to the hospital just to find Li Wen. In order not to let people notice that he came to see her deliberately, he accompanied the director for a half-day show and donated a sum of money to help the hospital purchase equipment.

Of course, donating this money is not wasted money. My martial arts practice usually treats injuries here, so it is necessary to have a good relationship with the hospital. Even if it is not to find Li Wen, Yang Ye will donate it.

Li Wen sang on the world stage on one leg. She was a warrior, but she died in frustration in the end.

Yang Ye felt that when he came to this world, he could change some things and avoid some tragedies.

This is not only a good deed, but also a great benefit to yourself.

For example, Li Wen, if Yang Ye helps her today, she will gain a singing queen the next day, which is a huge profit!
