Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 140 Very fair

Ke Shouliang and Yuan Kui left quickly. Yang Ye parked his motorcycle on the beach, hugged Hu Yinmeng and sat on a rock by the sea to watch the sea.

Hu Yinmeng took off her shoes, and the waves hit the rocks, kissing her white and tender feet from time to time.

"Sing me a song!" she said.

Yang Ye thought for a while and sang softly: "Let youth blow your long hair and let it pull your dreams. Unknowingly, the history of this city has remembered your smile. The blue sky in the red heart is a life. In the beginning, you slept alone in the spring rain all night..."

As Yang Ye sang softly, Hu Yinmeng rested her head on Yang Ye's shoulder, letting the sea breeze blow her hair and scatter it.

"Who lingers in the voice in the reincarnation of the past and the next, laughing at my infatuated care that is difficult to understand in this mortal world. Take a look at me, don't let the beauty guard the empty pillow, the youth has no regrets and will never die, the eternal lover."

After Yang Ye finished singing this song, Hu Yinmeng looked at him infatuatedly and asked, "What is this song called?"

"dream Catcher!"

"Dream Chaser?...It seems to be talking about us."

"you?"

"Yes, not just me, but also Lijun, Zhizhi, Qingxia, Xu Feng...the girls around you."

"What do you mean?" Yang Ye was confused!
Hu Yinmeng looked at the sea in the distance and said foolishly: "The dream I understand is not a dream dream, but a fantasy dream!

You, you are like a mystery, suddenly appeared in my life.Everything you reveal fulfills all my fantasies about men.

So I, and they, we are all chasing you desperately, like chasing a beautiful, but illusory dream! "

Yang Ye sighed after hearing this.

Five years had passed since he time traveled, and he felt that everything was like a dream.

How many times in the middle of the night he dreamed back and woke up with a fright, he had to confirm which era he was in.

He is also afraid that this is just an unrealistic dream that will suddenly disappear at some point, so he must seize the time and enjoy himself in time.

Yang Ye sighed and said: "

No matter how many talents I have, I am best known as a martial artist and action movie actor.

People like me may die in the ring one day, or on the set of a movie.

Have you seen those dragon and tiger martial arts masters on the set?They all have today and no tomorrow.

Every day they work, they are gambling with their lives. Maybe they will die if they jump from a building today.

So they all enjoy themselves in time, smoking and drinking, gambling on horses and money, and seducing women for prostitution.

Their income is much higher than that of ordinary migrant workers, but they cannot save a penny. "

Hu Yinmeng follows Yang Ye every day and is naturally familiar with the dragon and tiger martial arts masters on the set. She has always felt that those people are rotten people and does not like them very much.

"Actually, they earn so much, they can save the money. And how long can the dragon and tiger martial arts profession last? What will happen when they get old?" Hu Yinmeng said.

Yang Ye smiled and said: "Of course there are such people. They work hard to make money and leave it to their wives to manage. But one day something happens on the set and they are paralyzed in bed. In minutes, their wives take away all the money and disappear without a trace. disappeared.

There are so many such things, and everyone has figured out that the saddest thing in life is that people die without spending all their money.So when they have money, they spend it on food, drink, whoring, and gambling. If they die one day, they will die. "

When Yang Ye said this, Hu Yinmeng understood a little bit, but he was a little dissatisfied and said: "You mean you are like them? Then I haven't seen you eating, drinking and gambling. You spend all the money you have!"

Yang Ye said: "I am the ceiling among martial artists. I earn too much and it is difficult to spend it all. There is no difference in essence.

Yin Yin, you are a very good girl. I am very happy that you are willing to favor me and accompany me.But I can't give you that kind of life of two people for the rest of your life. "

Yang Ye said that at this point, Hu Yinmeng already understood his attitude towards life, and she said: "Actually, when I decided to be with you, I had thought about the issue of the marriage system.

I think the institution of marriage tends to rationalize and legitimize the limitations of human nature such as possession, jealousy, and control, making people trivial, narrow, and closed, and making life monotonous, boring, and mechanized.

On the contrary, it may also be the best opportunity for human beings to experience true love and enter into a holy marriage relationship.The key lies in whether the two people have wisdom, sincerity and perseverance. "

Yang Ye asked: "So you don't want marriage?"

Hu Yinmeng shook his head: "I don't know! Nowadays, hippie culture is popular in the West, advocating open marriage relationships, but I think most people can't transcend their exclusivity and dependence, and will eventually return to monogamy. system.

I think, maybe one day, when I get tired of being by your side and see through you as a playboy, I will leave you, go far away, find an honest man, marry him, and live an ordinary life with him. Light days. "

After hearing this, Yang Ye secretly said, Damn it, who did the honest man offend?

Yang Ye was about to speak when Hu Yinmeng changed the subject and said, "But don't get rid of me now. There are so many mysteries in you, which fill me with a desire to explore. I'm not tired of it yet."

Yang Ye chuckled, hugged the woman, faced the vast sea, and chanted aloud: "Fifty years in the world are nothing compared to the sky. Looking at the world, dreams are like water. If you live once, you will be destroyed. current……"

……

The production of "ET Alien" is about to be completed, and Yang Ye began to spare time in the martial arts gym, teaching his disciples, as well as some Longwu martial arts masters such as Qi Xiaofu, how to practice martial arts and train their reaction ability and distance sense.This is done to avoid getting hurt as much as possible while filming.

Filmmaking is completely different from real Kung Fu. It has its own logic. Practitioners not only have to make their movements look good, but also protect themselves from harm.

Ordinary people will be injured if they fall, but the Dragon Tiger martial artist seems to be invincible. The secret lies in daily training.

They have to roll and fall every day, and when they create dangerous moves, their wonderful skills are naturally revealed through these exercises.

There is a lot of knowledge involved in how to make a good fall, how to make it painless, and how to protect yourself.

After long-term experience and exploration, Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Masters have invented many unique moves for making movies, such as: front-crouching tiger, rear-crouching tiger, thrusting, button throwing, counter, three hundred six, four hundred two...

Outsiders have no idea what these industry terms are.

What Yang Ye wants to do is to pass on these experiences to everyone.

The term "Dragon and Tiger Warrior" itself comes from Peking Opera.

When the Japanese invaded China, many Peking Opera masters fled from the north to the south and arrived in Hong Kong to escape the war.

Since Peking Opera is spoken in the northern dialect, few people watch it in Hong Kong. In order to make a living, some of them choose to actively integrate.For example, Yuan Xiaotian took the initiative to bring the stage martial arts of Peking Opera to Cantonese opera.

The other group had nothing to do, so they opened a theater to teach apprentices. At that time, some poor families, who could not feed their children and had no place to go, sent them to learn Peking Opera.

At that time, there were four Peking Opera schools in Hong Kong, namely Yu Zhanyuan's "Chinese Drama School", Tang Di's "Oriental Drama School", Fen Juhua's "Spring and Autumn Drama Academy", and Ma Chengzhi's "Chinese Drama School".

At that time, Hong Kong's film industry was facing a transformation. Chang Cheh's "The One-Armed Sword" came out, instantly changing the public's aesthetic habits from soft to masculine, and the profession of action director was officially born.

At this time, the film industry needed a large number of action actors and stand-ins, and students from the four major Peking Opera academies were just growing up.So...the two groups naturally came together.

Later, [-]% of the famous action directors in Chinese films came from the four major Peking Opera schools in Hong Kong.

Originally, after Bruce Lee's death, kung fu movies declined rapidly and remained at a low ebb for five years.

For a time, the Dragon and Tiger martial arts masters had no work to do, so they could only deliver food, drive illegal cars, and some even sold blood.

It wasn't until Lau Kar-leung and Hung King-po came on board that Kung Fu movies flourished again.

But it's different now. Not long after Bruce Lee died, Yang Ye came through time, took over his banner, and did an even better job.

Yang Ye shortened the low period of kung fu movies to a year and a half. After Yang Ye's "Shaolin Temple" was released in 1975, kung fu movies were made everywhere.

The business of the Dragon and Tiger martial arts masters suddenly became booming, and they couldn't even finish the work.

Yang Ye not only gave these people work, but also took the initiative to teach everyone various filming techniques. In the eyes of these people, he was like a savior.

And everything Yang Ye did was to prepare in advance for the real kung fu movie trend in the 80s.

……

Although assisted by Shenwei, Yang Ye himself has to practice for two hours every day in order to maintain his body's coordination.

Of course, he will not relax when it comes to fighting. Once he is free, he will practice with Hong Kong's fighting masters.

Now there is no need to run around. Since Binny arrived, the two of them have been sparring almost every day.

At this time, Yang Ye stood on the ground with his feet unsteady. After some testing, Binny very cautiously punched Yang Ye in the face.

However, as soon as the punch was fired, Yang Ye was already behind him. He dodged Binny's punch like a ghost and pressed Binny's chest with one hand.

Binny took a step back and said dejectedly: "It still doesn't work."

Yang Ye stopped his hand and said with a smile: "Take a rest."

The two found a stool and sat down.Binny took a sip of water and said, "I think your kung fu is a bit like Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do."

Yang Ye said: "Have you met Bruce Lee?"

Binnie shook his head and said: "I have never met him, but I have played against his disciple Joe Lewis."

Before Joe Lewis met Bruce Lee, he was a famous karate martial artist in the American martial arts circle and had won the American karate championship several times.

After he narrowly lost to Luo Lishi at the "National Karate Competition" in New York in 1967, he became a disciple of Bruce Lee.

Lewis is the main founder of American free fighting and a promoter of professional competitions. The early American free fighting can be said to be a replica of Jeet Kune Do. This is why.

Yang Ye said: "Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do means the way to block the opponent's punch and intercept the opponent's punch. He incorporated Taoist ideas into his martial arts and proposed "the law is based on the impossible, and the infinite is limited."He and I are both Chinese and have been influenced by the same philosophical ideas. You will naturally think that my kung fu is similar to Jeet Kune Do. "

Binny said: "Then how can I become like you?"

Yang Ye said: "Train, keep training, form muscle memory, naturally you can move at will, and you must save the enemy when you attack. In addition, you must learn and become familiar with various fighting techniques in the world, understand the structure of the human body, and understand the force exerted by the human body. Way.

If you can do this, then as long as the opponent moves slightly, you will understand what he will do next, whether he will punch or kick, and where he will hit you, and you will naturally develop a way to deal with it. "

Binnie sighed: "I don't know when I will be able to do this."

Yang Ye asked: "How did you feel when you fought against Prayut?"

Binny said: "I felt that his legs were like steel, and I couldn't resist the excruciating pain from the kicks on my body."

Yang Ye said: "Muay Thai masters kick trees with their feet every day, use sandbags on their elbows, steel plates and other rigorous training. Their whole body is trained to be extremely hard and powerful. If you go head-to-head with him, you will naturally lose."

Binny said: "Then how should I defeat him?"

Yang Ye said: "Although Muay Thai is said to be undefeated for 500 years, it is not without its weaknesses. Its main weakness is that it is not flexible enough. Muay Thai footwork is hard, not good at moving, the attack distance is short, and the gait movement is single.

Another point is that Muay Thai actually has no defense against turning movements, because Muay Thai does not have turning kicks, and there is no special training for turning kicks.

In addition, Muay Thai's resistance to wrestling is also very poor, because Muay Thai is slow, the center of gravity shifts upward, and the lower body is unstable.

What I told you will be shown to you one by one in the battle with Prayut next month! "

Binny said: "I'm looking forward to it very much!"

Yang Ye stopped mentioning fighting and said with a smile: "You see the Dragon and Tiger martial artists falling around every day, what do you think?"

Binny said: "Actually, I once had an ideal, which was to make movies. I didn't care if I was the protagonist or not, and I didn't care how many movies I made. I just wanted to show real fighting on the screen.

There was only one person who could do that at that time, and that was Bruce.I thought he was the best kung fu star in the world and I wanted to be the second Bruce.But then you showed up again, and I thought, I could only be third at best. "

Binny laughed at himself and continued: "But after watching these dragon and tiger warriors practice every day, I found that fighting and movies are actually two different things."

Yang Ye said: "Yes, fighting is about winning, and you have to try your best to knock down the opponent. And making movies is about looking good, and trying your best to make your movements more beautiful. Because only in this way, the audience will buy it!"

Binny nodded. After coming here for a few months and practicing for so long, he had already understood this truth.

Yang Ye said: "If you want to make a movie, I will start shooting a movie in a few months and it will require two foreign kung fu masters to join. Are you interested?"

Binny said: "Of course I am interested, but I want to train. You told me that you will accept me as your disciple only if I defeat Prayut within a year."

Yang Ye said: "It doesn't matter. Don't I need two kung fu masters to join me? After I defeat Prayuth Chan-ocha next month, I will invite him to join my movie."

What Yang Ye means is: I will defeat Prayut next month, and you two can make a movie together without training. This is very fair!
