Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 123 You Are Still Addicted

PS: The last paragraph of Chapter 122 has been rewritten, and the second disciple has been changed to Hui Yinghong.

……

Hui Yinghong was lying on a very high-looking medical instrument. This is the most advanced bone densitometer in the world, which can use X-ray scanning to measure the bone density of the human body.

After a series of inspections that left Hui Yinghong confused, Zong Yougui handed her information to Yang Ye.

Yang Ye took a look and said: "A Hong, learning kung fu from me means combining tradition and science. I will develop a special training plan based on your personal situation.

Starting next week, you will come to the martial arts studio to practice with Takako every day, and you will have to follow the recipes for three meals a day.

You can continue to do the work of Liu Jiaban, and the content of practicing during filming can be reduced or reduced appropriately according to the situation. "

Hui Yinghong was a little excited when she succeeded in becoming a master, and said quickly: "Yes, Master."

Yang Ye nodded and said, "Go home with me tonight and have a meal together."

Hui Yinghong is now a contracted actress of Shaw Brothers, and she is working with Liu Jiaban. She played the second female lead Mu Nianci in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" which was released some time ago.

The Liu brothers fully supported Hui Yinghong's apprenticeship with Yang Ye, because Hui Yinghong's reputation increased greatly, which was only good for them, not bad.

Sure enough, the next day the newspaper reported Yang Ye's acceptance of a disciple.

People can't help but wonder, why does Yang Ye only accept female disciples, but doesn't he accept men?

Yang Ye took Zong Yougui and Hui Yinghong home. Zong Yougui immediately helped Yang Ye undress, change shoes, get newspapers, make tea, cut fruits... The whole process was extremely skillful.

Hui Yinghong was stunned. She heard her mother say that when her father was still a young master, her mother served her father like this.

While Zong Yougui was cutting fruits, Yang Ye said to Hui Yinghong: "Ahong, sit down! Guizi is Japanese, she is used to doing this, and I can't stop her. You don't need to make a fuss."

Hui Yinghong thought to herself, the senior sister works so hard to please her master, so I can’t lose to her, right?
He quickly said obediently: "Master, are you tired? Can I give you a massage?"

"Uh...okay!" Yang Ye reluctantly agreed.

Two good disciples want to compete for favor, what can a teacher do?
The meal was enjoyable. After the meal, Yang Ye said: "Ahong, you can stay here tonight, and you and Guizi can get to know each other and enhance our relationship."

Hui Yinghong agreed quickly.

Yang Ye said again: "Guizi, please lend your clothes to Ahong for a while, and then take her to Donglai Plaza tomorrow to buy some clothes, shoes, cosmetics and so on."

Zong Yougui agreed and led Hui Yinghong upstairs.

In the oversized jacuzzi, two kung fu girls took a nice bath.

Hui Yinghong said with some envy: "It's so comfortable to live here!"

Takako said: "You can also live here, just tell the master."

Hui Yinghong hesitated and said: "Can I...?"

Takako smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with that. Master is a very nice person, and living here is also convenient for practicing."

Hui Yinghong is a Manchu, and her family was originally very wealthy. Her father moved to Hong Kong with a lot of money, but he met a liar and fell into ruin.

Her father was originally a young man, but he ran out of money and fell into despair. He also became addicted to gambling. He couldn't support his children, so he sold them all to study Peking Opera.

Hui Yinghong was born late and did not enjoy a single day of good life. She followed her mother to beg for food when she was three years old.

At the worst time, a typhoon destroyed the family's shed, forcing the family to sleep on the street.

She is now working as an actress in Shaw Brothers, and her basic salary is only 500 yuan a month. When filming, she will get a little extra, but not much.

The house her family lived in was narrow and small, and it didn't even have a water heater. She had to take a ladle and pour water on herself when taking a shower.

Now, suddenly living in such a mansion, eating exquisite food, and bathing in such a comfortable bathtub, it is naturally a bit dazzling.

……

Yang Ye drove out and soon came to the Peninsula Hotel, where Adjani lived...

The next morning, the two of them sat in the hotel's Yingren Teahouse and had morning tea happily.

"Try this shrimp dumpling!"

"Hmm...it tastes good."

The two of them sat in the corner and fed each other intimately. Fang Yihua, who was sitting not far away, couldn't help rolling his eyes and said: "This bad guy has a good rapport with women. He can even handle ghost girls." When I was young, I was also very romantic and had countless girls. Now that I am old, I can't play anymore and I am powerless.

But seeing Yang Ye's high-spirited look, he couldn't help but think of his deeds when he was a teenager, and said with a smile: "Young people's high-spiritedness, once you become famous, these things are inevitable."

Fang Yihua said with a smile: "This bad boy is currently fighting to the death with Golden Harvest. Golden Harvest raised the rent of Ax Mountain Road Studios in order to prevent others from going to Baiyang Cinema to screen movies. This bad boy backhandedly bought the Grand View Studio. It's interesting!"

Run Run Shaw is already 70 years old, and is old and frail. Even if he wants to kill Jiahe, he doesn't have enough energy to fight in person.

Seeing Yang Ye and Zou Wenhuai fighting fiercely, although they did not participate in it, they felt a bit like sitting on a mountain and watching the fight between tigers.

Yang Ye and Adjani had almost finished eating, and then began to discuss the movie script:
Wu Bi is a private detective in Paris. He received a big business. The client entrusted him to find a woman named Gloria and her daughter Servier.

Two Chinese young men, Thomas and David, who run a food truck business, accidentally met a French girl Servier and got involved.

Through investigation, they discovered that Servier was a living princess whose ducal father had passed away. If she could not be found, a huge inheritance would fall into her cousin's pocket.

The employer behind the scenes is this cousin with ulterior motives.

As a result, a wonderful scene of a hero saving a beauty was staged!
The movie Yang Ye is talking about is the 1984 action comedy "Fast Truck" starring the three brothers Hong Jingbao, Chen Long and Yuan Biao. This movie was shot in Spain at the time and invited Miss Spain champion Laura Funer to be the heroine.

If Yang Ye wants to fulfill his promise to make a movie for his senior brothers and enter the European market, then this movie will naturally be the one.

And Adjani happens to replace Laura Forner.

Adjani is a hundred times more famous than Laura, and France is the largest film market in Europe. Yang Ye wants to bring Chen Long into the European market, so he just takes advantage of Adjani's fame.

Therefore, the story background of the movie was changed from Spain to France, and lines such as the Leaning Tower of Pisa in the movie were naturally changed to the Eiffel Tower.

However, the plot structure of this movie is really a bit stretched. The early stage is all composed of boring jokes. Only the fight in the last 10 minutes brings the movie to its peak.

So Yang Ye made some modifications.

Some boring jokes were deleted, such as Hong Jingbao drinking in a bar and telling everyone that he had a secret. Not only did they have nothing to do with the main plot, but they also made the film's structure looser, so they were deleted.

In addition, a fighting scene was added. In the movie "Fast Truck", the early fights did not reflect Chen Long's characteristics at all. They were all fists and kicks, and rarely used equipment. How could this be done?It must be used!

Yang Ye wanted to use this film to establish the style of Chen Long's fashion action films, so the action scenes had to be rearranged to make them more interesting.

However, these humorous and interesting fights cannot be described in words, and there is no way to design them in advance. They must go to the scene, adapt to local conditions, and perform on the spot to make them exciting enough.

So after hearing the plot summary, Adjani said with some disgust: "What a boring story. Your previous three movies were much more meaningful than this one."

Yang Ye explained: "Our company has positioned Jack's image as a kind-hearted urban figure, not a legendary hero, so the movie tailored for him has a simple plot and is suitable for all ages.

We mainly sell Jack's agility and witty fighting.Although this kind of movie has little depth, it can bring happiness to the audience, which I think is very good.

In fact, movies don’t necessarily have to bring people profound thoughts about life. If it can make people temporarily forget their worries and bring nine or ten minutes of happiness, that’s not bad! "

Adjani thought for a while and said helplessly: "You are right, but I didn't expect that I would accept a commercial action film in Hollywood. When I came to Hong Kong, you gave me another commercial action film."

Adjani previously won three important Oscar-winning actresses including the American Society of Film Critics Award for her film "The Story of Adele Hugo", and became the youngest Oscar nominee at the time and the first Two French actresses nominated for Oscars for their French-language films.

Relying on this brilliant record, Adjani started her first trip to Hollywood.

Faced with many invitations, Adjani finally chose the movie "The Tiger's Mouth" directed by Walter Hill.

This is a suspenseful action film with a darker style, which is exactly the opposite of the cheerful style of "Fast Truck".

Yang Ye smiled and said: "I will personally design the moves for you, so that you can have the addiction of being an action star."

Adjani was happy: "That should be fun."

Yang Ye asked: "When will "Extracting Teeth from the Tiger's Mouth" be filmed?"

Adjani apologized: "I will leave for California in three days at most."

Yang Ye shook her hand and said, "Then I'll start another project first, and we'll shoot "Food Truck" after you're done."

Adjani nodded and said, "Shall we go back to the room?"

"Why are you going back to your room at this time?"

"Hurry up!"

Damn, you're still addicted!
