Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 109

On New Year's Day 1977, Yang Ye's "Let the World Be Full of Love" concert tour officially set sail from Hong Kong.

Within a month, he traveled through Hong Kong, Macau, Taipei and Kaohsiung. Everywhere he went, there were crowds of people watching.

The theme song of the concert, "Fill the World with Love," also quickly became a hit song in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, playing non-stop on the radio every night.

The four little girls responsible for singing the children's part, Zhou Huimin, Wang Zuxian, Xiao Yingying, and Wu Jingyi, also received a lot of attention because of their sweet and cute appearance.

In early February, Yang Ye's concert team landed in Bangkok and received a warm welcome from Thai Chinese.

When Yang Ye's motorcade drove through Sononwang Avenue in the center of the city, the streets were filled with people and it was suffocating.

The Hong Kong media who followed Yang Ye's team all the way to report on the grand concert said that Yang Ye's extravaganza was even greater than that of the King of Thailand.

Because he was so popular, Yang Ye was invited to the palace to attend a banquet and had a cordial conversation with the princess.

However, the princess's appearance was too attractive, and Yang Ye expressed no interest.

During the Spring Festival, Yang Ye led the team to Saigon.

Since Vietnam also celebrates the Spring Festival, Yang Ye was able to experience the atmosphere of the Spring Festival overseas.

There is a small earth temple at the door of every house here, which enshrines the spiritual tablets of ancestors. Because they are worried that the ancestors will not understand their current alphabet, the sacred tablets and tablets are written in Chinese characters.

Since the concert coincided with the Spring Festival holiday, it caused a greater sensation than the one in Bangkok. Chinese people who could not buy tickets gathered in the square outside the stadium and refused to leave for a long time.

Different from other places, Yang Ye specially invited Li Sun to attend his concert in Saigon and set up a VIP seat for him.

Naturally, Li Sun would not lower himself to attend a concert of a Chinese star.

However, he knew that Yang Ye was very famous among the Chinese and was a world-famous movie star, so he arrogantly asked Yang Ye to go to his official residence, sing songs and perform kung fu at his banquet.

Yang Ye started a concert tour with great fanfare. The real purpose was to use this as an opportunity to enter Saigon and find a way to get close to Li Sun.

Now that he had received Li Sun's invitation, Yang Ye went there happily and performed at this guy's banquet.

Then, he took the opportunity to use "Shenwei" to scan Li Sun and other senior officials and stole a large amount of confidential information.

All this will come in handy in two years.

……

At the concert, four beautiful girls, Zhou Huimin, Wang Zuxian, Xiao Yingying, and Wu Jingyi, wore pure white skirts and sang in childish voices:

Gently hold your face and wipe away your tears

This heart belongs to you forever, tell me I won’t be alone anymore
Staring deeply into your eyes, no more words are needed
Hold your hand tightly, the warmth remains unchanged

Yang Ye sang with tears in his eyes:
We rejoice together, we endure together

we have the same expectation

We share the same wind and rain, and we share the pursuit

we cherish the same love

Whether you and I have known each other before, whether we are in front of you or in the horizon

I sincerely wish you happiness and peace...

The Chinese audience in the audience were deeply proud of Yang Ye, but they did not know that their own suffering would befall them a few months later.

Yang Ye can't save them, but I hope this song can bring them some comfort.

However, I will avenge you!
……

After leaving Saigon, Yang Ye continued to sing in various places in Southeast Asia. Wherever he went, he was warmly welcomed by crowds of spectators.

At this time, good news came from the United States. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" became very popular after its release in North America. It continued to add more theaters and was actually much more popular than "Shaolin Temple" and "Fist of Heroes".

Everyone in Yang Ye's concert team congratulated Yang Ye, but Yang Ye thought it was okay, because "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was aimed at Americans, and it was understandable that it would be popular.

You know, at this time, Hollywood had not even produced "Superman", but Yang Ye allowed Hong Kong movies to achieve freedom of flight in advance.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" heavily incorporates the American comic concept that a great hero must have great supernatural powers, allowing Li Mubai and Yu Jiaolong to completely let themselves go, taking off and leaving you if they disagree.

In particular, Yang Ye couldn't find an Hui-style building like Hongcun, so he simply asked Li Mubai and Yu Jiaolong to fly across Sun Moon Lake.Damn it, a man and a woman were flying across the lake and mountains, and the Americans were all dumbfounded!
Under such circumstances, the box office naturally soared. When Shay saw this, he immediately spent money to expand the theater.

With the addition of OnePlus and PlusPlus, the box office has exceeded 2000 million in just two months.

Then he won two awards for "Best Director" and "Best Score" at the Golden Globe Awards.

However, Yang Ye was in a concert and did not go to accept the award. "Best Director" was accepted by King Hu alone, and "Best Score" was accepted by Lin Qingxia on his behalf.

Lin Qingxia was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, but did not win.

After the news came out, Yang Ye became more and more popular in various places, and many places sent invitations to Yang Ye, hoping that Yang Ye could go to their city to sing.

But we don’t have enough time, so we can only talk about it later.

After Zheng Donghan and Yang Ye discussed it, they decided to plan and hold two shows in Europe. Anyway, Yang Ye would participate in the Cannes Film Festival in May, killing two birds with one stone.

Besides, it’s a world tour, and I haven’t even gone to Europe. It’s a crappy world tour.

When Yang Ye and others arrived in the United States, it was already late February. At this time, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" took advantage of the power of winning the Golden Globe Award, and its box office continued to grow. It had exceeded 3000 million US dollars, surpassing "Shaolin Temple" and "Shaolin Temple". Jingwu Heroes".

Yang Ye first held a concert in New York and then flew to Los Angeles to prepare for a good operation before the Oscars were announced.

At this time, the Oscars had announced the shortlist, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" led this awards season with eleven nominations, becoming the most popular.

The eleven nominations are: Best Film, Best Director, Best Visual Effects, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Art Direction, Best Original Score, Best Cinematography, Best Original Song, Best Editing, Best Costume Design, Best Adapted Screenplay.

……

"I'll take you to Disneyland tomorrow!"

Yang Ye said to the four little girls.

"Wow!"

"Brother Ye, you are awesome!" Xiao Yingying jumped onto Yang Ye excitedly, hugged his neck, and kissed him hard on the face.

Being kissed on the face by the future most beautiful woman in Taiwan, Yang Ye just smiled, wiped his saliva calmly, and said: "Yingying, you are a big girl now, be more reserved."

Xiao Yingying disagreed: "I'm only eight years old, still young!"

"Um... go to bed early and don't make trouble too late. You won't have the energy to play tomorrow!"

Yang Ye left behind a word and ran away.

Xiao Yingying watched the door close, turned to Zhou Huimin and said, "Xiao Min, I'm so jealous of you for being able to live with Brother Ye."

Yang Ye, who was outside the door, vaguely heard these words and almost stumbled to death.

Is the little girl today so precocious?
Zhou Huimin had a dark line: "Yingying, what are you talking nonsense about? I just live in Brother Ye's house. What about living together? It's so ugly."

Xiao Yingying curled her lips: "Isn't it the same as living together if we live together? There is no difference!"

Wang Zuxian rolled around on the bed, holding a big fluffy pillow and asked: "Xiao Min, does Brother Ye have a girlfriend?"

Zhou Huimin said: "Yes, it's sister Deng Lijun. She also lives in Brother Ye's house."

Wu Jingyi, who had been silent until now, interrupted: "It turns out to be Teresa Teng. She sings beautifully."

When Wang Zuxian heard this, she was instantly discouraged, because among the four of them, she was the one with a keen ear for singing, and she always got away with it every time she went on stage.

"But...sometimes Sister Zhao Yazhi will stay at Brother Ye's house."

"Ah? Brother Ye has two girlfriends?" Xiao Yingying was shocked.

"I don't know either!" Zhou Huimin spread her hands, "For a while, Yamaguchi Momoe also lived in Brother Ye's house, but she has returned to Japan now."

"Momoe Yamaguchi is also Brother Ye's girlfriend?"

The three Taiwanese friends were all shocked.

"Brother Ye is amazing!" Xiao Yingying gave a thumbs up.
