Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 141 Demonstration for You

Li Meilin staggered on the ground, her mother constantly encouraging her in front of her.

Little Merrill's surgery was very successful, but her post-operative recovery was very slow. She lay in bed for almost a year and is now starting to learn to walk again.

"Come on baby, come over here!"

"Yang Ye!" Xiao Meilin suddenly shouted in a babyish voice.

Mother Li turned her head in surprise and saw Yang Ye and Hu Yinmeng standing at the door. Hu Yinmeng was holding a doll in his hand.

Mother Li smiled at the two of them and said, "Mr. Yang, Miss Hu, hello!"

He turned back to his daughter and said, "It's not polite to call me uncle!"

"Uncle!" Li Meilin called again, stretching out his hands towards Yang Ye for a hug!
Yang Ye walked over, picked her up, kissed her chubby little face, and said with a smile, "Xiao Meilin, do you still remember me?"

"I remember, you are Yang Ye!"

Yang Ye laughed loudly and said, "Yes, I am Yang Ye!"

Hu Yinmeng handed the doll to Li Meilin and said with a smile: "Xiao Meilin, give it to you!"

"Thank you sister!"

Hu Yinmeng pinched Li Meilin's little face and said proudly to Yang Ye, "I am the sister!"

Yang Ye said to Li's mother: "Are you going to be discharged from the hospital soon?"

Mother Li smiled and nodded and said, "We plan to leave the hospital next week."

In order to take care of her younger daughter, Mother Li sent her eldest daughter and second daughter to boarding school. Now that they haven't seen each other for a year, she actually feels uneasy.

Li Meilin can get out of bed now and can do rehabilitation training at home, so Li's mother plans to take her back to Hong Kong.

Moreover, the hospitalization expenses here are very expensive, and she is embarrassed to continue spending Yang Ye's money.

Mother Li said sincerely: "Mr. Yang, we, mother and daughter, don't know how to repay your great kindness. I..."

Yang Ye waved his hand and said with a smile: "Xiao Meilin and I are very close. Now that her operation is successful, it is the biggest blessing. She is very smart. Teach her well and let her live a happy life. It will not be in vain for me to save her." It’s time!”

These words brought tears to Mrs. Li's eyes. She wiped away her tears and said, "Yes, I will definitely do it!"

……

In the screening room of New Line Cinema, a group of people were watching the rough cut of "ET."

The cabin door gradually closed, and the spacecraft slowly took off, drawing a gorgeous rainbow in the dark sky!

The last clip of the movie shows smiling faces looking up at the sky.

In the dark screening room, when the audience saw this scene, their faces looking up at the screen also showed comfortable smiles.

Amid warm applause, the lights in the screening room came on.

Shay said: "Nick, this is incredible! I thought you would bring us a kung fu movie about fighting aliens, but I didn't expect you to make a children's movie."

Yang Ye complained: "Well, why should I fight aliens? The earth can't accommodate me?"

"Hahaha!" Shay couldn't help laughing.

Yang Ye was too lazy to pay attention to him, and turned to ask a black young man sitting in the back row: "Mi Gao, what do you think of this movie?"

This black guy was specially invited by Yang Ye to watch the movie. His name in Mandarin translation is Michael Jackson, but Hong Kong people call him Michael Jackson.

Three days ago, Yang Ye went to the Recording Association of America. The album "We Will Rock You" he released last year sold more than 100 million copies, and PolyGram spent money to buy him a "Platinum Record" certification.

In the United States, a single album that sells 100 million copies is considered a "platinum album," but if it wants to be recognized, the record company must pay a fee to the Recording Association.

Yang Ye's contract with PolyGram is about to expire, and he has made it clear that he will not renew it, but... that is only in Asia.

Yang Ye's record deals in Europe and the United States will still be signed with PolyGram, so PolyGram is willing to spend money to certify him as a "platinum record".

At the Recording Association, Yang Ye met the legendary superstar Michael Jackson, who also came to certify his record. What he certified was a "Diamond Record."

Well, if a single record sales exceeds 1000 million copies, it is a "diamond record."

Yang Ye told Michael Jackson: "I recently made a movie and would like to invite you to sing the theme song. I wonder if you are interested?"

Michael Jackson asked about the content of the movie, and then followed Yang Ye and ran over to watch the movie.

Michael Jackson solemnly said: "Nick, I think this is not a simple children's movie. You expressed something in the movie. I have to think about it before I can answer you."

Michael Jackson was a perfectionist, and if he felt a piece of music wasn't perfect enough, he wouldn't let others see him playing it.

Therefore, he was unwilling to easily express his opinions on the movie until he had figured it out.

"Okay!" Yang Ye said to Xie again: "Are you worried about the box office?"

Shay said: "Frankly speaking, yes. Because you are a kung fu star, everyone is more looking forward to seeing your kung fu in your movies."

Yang Ye said: "I know that once I appear on the screen, everyone will look forward to my kung fu skills, so I didn't appear in this movie at all, not even a cameo."

Shay spread his hands: "Then what is our selling point? Let me first state that this is a great movie."

Yang Ye said: "The selling point is that this is a great alien movie! What do you think of Spielberg's "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" last year?"

Xie Yi thought for a while and said: "To be honest, I don't like it. The pace is very slow and there is no climax." Yang Ye said: "But its box office in North America still exceeded 2 million U.S. dollars. It has earned more than [-] million U.S. dollars worldwide, and Columbia has made more than [-] million U.S. dollars." . I think human emotions are universal and can transcend skin color. This is a unique alien movie that everyone will like."

When Yang Ye said this, he changed his tone and said, "Robert, I think you are a bit stereotyped. Do Chinese people have to know kung fu? Terri, do you know kung fu?"

Hu Yinmeng smiled and said, "Of course I won't!"

Yang Ye said: "So, just because the previous few kung fu movies have done well at the box office, you can't stubbornly believe that you can only make money by continuing to make kung fu movies. In fact, kung fu movies can only attract some people who are curious, and what I showed in this movie Warmth and tenderness are the common emotions shared by all human beings.

Another thing you may consider is skin color.Then American movies can also sell well in Asia. Why can't Asian movies sell well in America?I just want to tell you that I can make movies that sell well at the box office without relying on kung fu. "

Xie Beiyangye was so sweaty that he said, "I'm sorry, brother! I'm narrow-minded."

Michael Jackson suddenly said: "Nick, are you an anti-war activist?"

Yang Ye was stunned and asked, "How do you say that?"

Michael Jackson said: "I have seen the "Alien" written by you. It is a really cool movie. But in that movie, the biggest villain is not the alien, but the military. The little alien just wants to Just survive.

The story flow and character setting of "Alien" can show your dissatisfaction with the conquest represented by the military. This has also become an excellent proxy for the audience to express their angry protest against this senseless cold war initiated by the real government.

It is precisely because it touches the soul that "Alien" did so well at the box office!It's not just that the alien is scary enough. "

Under the overwhelming publicity offensive, "Alien" got off to a good start as soon as it opened. In the first week of its release, the box office totaled 2930 million, which is very fierce!

Michael Jackson continued: "Back to ET, it goes against the concept of aliens in traditional movies as evil creatures and creates an image of an ugly, but very cute little alien. Your movie conveys The warmth and friendship between the two species. But I think you are still alluding to the Cold War. After all, humans and aliens can coexist harmoniously, but humans themselves have to fight back and forth. This is really disgusting."

Yang Yexin said, you think too much.He praised: "Mi Gao, I have to say that you watched the movie very deeply. I would like to invite you to sing the theme song for the movie. What do you think?"

Michael Jackson happily said: "Of course I do!"

Yang Ye threw ET's theme song "Someone In The Dark" to Michael Jackson.

This song was originally a theme song composed by Michael Jackson for ET, but it was never used.

Yang Ye thought this was such a waste, so he brought Michael Jackson over and asked him to sing.

Yang Ye is actually not sure whether the Hong Kong version of ET can be a hit in North America, so he will start promoting it first.

……

In the octagonal cage, Yang Ye and Prayut stood face to face.Inside the venue, there was an enthusiastic audience.

After defeating Ali, Yang Ye once said in public: I accept everyone's challenge. Within ten years, if anyone can knock me down in the Octagon in Las Vegas, I will reward you... 500 million. Dollars!

Now, here comes the first challenger!
After the referee called start, Yang Ye just threw a jab without saying a word. Due to his size, Yang Ye's strength was inferior to other top fighting masters.

He also doesn't have time to practice hard every day like other fighting masters. It's not easy to be able to practice for two hours a day.

The first punch he makes is usually for testing purposes.Of course, if the opponent is too bulky and unable to dodge, he will definitely be hit.

Due to the speed bonus, the power of this punch is actually not small.

Seeing Yang Ye's punch coming, Bayu did not dodge, but suddenly raised his knee. The ligaments of the entire leg seemed to be infinitely stretched. He instantly raised his knee to the level of his forehead, and used his calf to lift the entire center line of his face. Cover.

Because Muay Thai masters kick trees with their legs every day, their calves are as hard as iron. This move is the "Iron Shield High Knee" in Muay Thai.

Although this move is defensive, it is both offensive and defensive, and is very dangerous.

As soon as Yang Ye saw him lifting his leg, he immediately retracted his fist and turned around to run away.

Sure enough, the calf that Bayut raised suddenly bounced out from his chest, like a sharp spear suddenly thrust out of the shield, and it stabbed Yang Ye.

Yang Ye was on guard for a long time, so the blow naturally missed. Bayu dropped his calf forward, and took advantage of the situation to strike with an elbow. There was a whistling sound of breaking wind, and he hit the back of Yang Ye's head.

But as if there were eyes on the back of Yang Ye's head, he suddenly turned away and barely dodged it, then turned around and kicked.

Bayu was caught off guard and was kicked by Yang Ye, almost falling to the ground.

"Yeah!" A burst of excited cheers immediately erupted from the stands!

Binny, who was mixed in the crowd, saw this scene on the stage and couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, because Yang Ye's kick to Prayut was Binny's signature trick of "turning around and kicking in the air".

Binnie recalled what Yang Ye said: "Muay Thai's defensive ability against turning movements is very poor."

"He used my moves and showed them to me on purpose!"

Binny murmured, and then remembered what Yang Ye said: "In the battle with Bayu, I will demonstrate it to you one by one!"

"He...actually did what he said. He could use Prayut as a target for practice, and Prayut was no match for him at all."

Binny thought, watching the fight between the two attentively. Sure enough, after a few moves, Yang Ye used Mongolian wrestling techniques to knock Bayut down and throw him to the ground.

"Yang Ye said that Muay Thai's resistance to wrestling is very poor, because Muay Thai is slow, the center of gravity moves upward, and the lower body is unstable. It is true! But...even if I know it, how can I do it?"

The two people on the field fought back and forth. Bayukong had extremely powerful strength, but it was extremely difficult to hit Yang Ye. Often, Yang Ye would break the move as soon as it was released.

Under Yang Ye's constant teasing, Bayu finally lost his mind and was stirred up into a rage, roaring angrily. But the more he did this, the more he was teased by Yang Ye.

Binnie suddenly thought: Forman and Ali laughed at Yang Ye as a yellow-skinned monkey, although it was racially charged.But in fact, he was right. Yang Ye was so agile that he was even more flexible than a monkey.

Binny couldn't understand that Yang Ye's training intensity was not very high. He practiced for two hours every day and would only practice more when he had nothing to do.

How did he develop such terrifying speed and reflexes?
