Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 143 Let's Dance Together
Brooke Shields was hailed as the "Eighth Wonder of the World" by Hollywood. Throughout the 80s, she was synonymous with beauty.

She is not only a household name in the Western world, but also extremely popular in the East.

When Wang Zuxian debuted, his banner was "Brooke Shields of the East."

Mainland China's "Popular Films" once used a photo of Brooke Shields as a magazine cover in an extremely rare event.

The famous performing artist Zhao Lirong also has a joke about "spicy shredded chicken"!
Brooke Shields has not yet grown up, but white girls are often the most beautiful in their lolita stage.

She has long chestnut hair, snow-white skin, bright eyes, full lips, and an innocent smile. At first glance, she reminds people of the angels in the oil paintings of the Renaissance era.

At the banquet after the Cannes Film Festival awards ceremony, when she walked slowly towards Yang Ye, the lights in the hall reflected around her, making her seem to be glowing.

"Can you dance with me?" she said!
"I'd love to dance with you!"

Yang Ye led the little girl to dance in the center of the hall, quickly attracting the attention of many people!

Brooke Shields was still young and had a very soft body. She found that Yang Ye was very powerful, so she couldn't help but do some difficult moves.

But Yang Ye always cooperated just right. She was still a child after all, so the more she played, the crazier she became, and even deliberately made things difficult for Yang Ye.

But how can Yang Ye's precise control be overshadowed?Take her spinning and jumping on the dance floor, flying all over the place. Every time she encounters someone or an object, she can always avoid it accurately.

There were waves of exclamations and giggles from her on the dance floor. Eventually, everyone simply made room, applauded enthusiastically, and allowed them to perform to their fullest.

"You are so awesome!" Brooke Shields said excitedly.She was tired from dancing and found a place to sit and drink.

"It's okay! What do you want from me?" Yang Ye asked.

"I saw the ET you took and thought it was great. I really wish I had an alien friend. So, I just wanted to get to know you."

"So that's it. I also watched your movie "Pretty Baby" and you did a great job."

Hearing Yang Ye's words, Brooke Shields couldn't help but blush.

Brooke Shields is here because her starring role in "Pretty Baby" was shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival. She also won a technical award tonight, the same award Yang Ye won when she first came to Cannes.

In this movie, Brooke Shields plays a child prostitute and there are many nudity scenes.

Because she was only 12 years old when she made this movie, it caused a lot of controversy. Director Louis Malle was scolded as a dog, and Brooke Shields' mother was even sued in court.

In the UK, the film was rated X and many scenes were deleted before it was released. In Canada, the film was banned until 1999.

But no matter what, Brooke Shields became synonymous with sexy lolita because of this movie. Since then, she has become famous and has continued to have film appointments.

"Actually...it's not what I want to act." She defended.

"I know you haven't grown up yet, everything is decided by your mother!"

Yang Ye explained for her, but Brooke Shields defended: "My mother loves me very much, she is my protector."

Yang Ye said noncommittally: "I think you should learn to separate movies from reality. That is another world, not the real you."

Brooke Shields' eyes lit up: "Is this okay?"

Yang Ye said: "Of course, if you can do it, you can protect yourself from harm."

Brooke Shields tilted her head and thought for a while, and thought it made sense, then smiled and said, "Thank you, can I exchange phone numbers with you?"

Yang Ye said: "Of course."

The two exchanged phone numbers, and Brooke Shields said: "I will call you when I return to the United States."

Yang Ye explained: "My phone number is in Hong Kong, but I will be filming a movie in Paris recently, so you can't find me for the time being."

"Then you can call me so I know your phone number in Paris."

"All right!"

Yang Ye agreed, but had no intention of calling Brooke Shields.

He doesn't have the time to make overseas phone calls and listen to the boring thoughts of an adolescent girl!
……

Paris!

Early in the morning, Ke Shouliang and several brothers came out of the hotel room and went to the restaurant to have breakfast. They saw Hong Jingbao and others already there.

Yang Ye's advertisement in the newspaper recruited several young people who were good at playing cars, but he did not catch Luo Lixian.

Ke Shouliang took Yang Ye's money and formed a "Raptor Stunt Team", and these people all fell under Ke Shouliang's banner.

Ke Shouliang suddenly turned from a poor fishing boy into a big brother. Although he was proud, he was still a little uncomfortable with it.

He was quite impressive when he took a few of his younger brothers into the elevator. When he saw Sammo Hung and others, he instantly shrunk and went up to say hello with a smile on his face.

"Brother Bao, Brother Long, Brother Biao, Brother De, Brother Hua..." shouted in a circle.

Hong Jingbao and others were all from the lower class, so they would not look down on others. Moreover, since we all came to Paris to work together, close cooperation is the only way to go, so they soon sat down to have breakfast and drink water together, and they became very familiar with each other.

A group of people were enjoying themselves, and Yang Ye and Adjani walked into the restaurant arm in arm. "Morning everyone!"

"Young Master Yang!"

Everyone saw Yang Ye coming and greeted him one after another.

Yuan De and Yuan Hua took their own tableware and moved to another table, freeing up two seats. Hong Jingbao said: "Young Master Yang, come over here and sit down."

Although Chen Long is more popular than Hong Jingbao, when they are together, it is usually Hong Jingbao who speaks.

At the peak of Hong Kong films in the 80s, the Golden Harvest studio was very underutilized. There were four studios, ABC and D, at the Ax Mountain studio. If two movies were shot at the same time, there would basically be no room.

So everyone often competes for the studio, and the biggest ones on the set are naturally Hong Jingbao and Chen Long.

When Hong Jingbao was away, Chen Long was the boss.

When Hong Jingbao came, Chen Long became the second brother.

I can't help it, I was used to being bullied when I was a child.

Yang Ye and Adjani walked over. The waiter brought the tableware. Yang Ye cut the bread and asked, "Why don't you see Binny?"

Hong Jingbao said: "He went to Thailand to find Prayut, and he will come with Prayut next week."

The main villains in "Food Truck" include two super thugs, and Yang Ye found Binny and Prayut to play them.

Although Prayuth lost to Yang Ye, Yang Ye still recognized Prayuth's strength very much. After all, one cannot fight with a loser.

Yang Ye invited Prayuth to participate in the movie. Filming Yang Ye's movie will not only make money, but also make him famous. Only a fool would not come, so Prayut naturally agreed happily.

Yang Ye said to Hong Jingbao: "Sanmao, this time there will be staff from EMI to assist in the shooting. After breakfast later, we will find two international students to come and act as translators."

Hong Jingbao said: "The translator, Sister Meng, was hired in Hong Kong and came with the crew."

As Sammo Hung spoke, he said to the next table: "Ah Yao, Ah Qiu, Ah Juan, say hello to Young Master Yang."

After Hong Jingbao finished speaking, the three young men, two men and one woman, who were having breakfast, stood up and said hello to Yang Yangye.

Yang Ye said happily: "Sister Meng is thoughtful." Then he said to the translators, "Sit down, sit down, and continue eating."

Hong Jingbao smiled and said, "That's right, we are all convinced by Sister Meng's work."

Xia Meng is Yang Ye's royal producer. She organizes everything in the filming of the movie, which saves Yang Ye a lot of things.

But she didn't come this time. Yang Ye was not here and she had to look after the company. Yang Ye found another producer.

Yang Ye continued: "San Mao, Aaron, and A Biao, you three brothers will be the protagonists together this time. A Biao is still a newcomer. You two are older brothers, lead him."

Chen Long put his arm around Yuan Biao's shoulders and smiled: "Of course, we are all good brothers."

Yang Ye said: "A Biao, you should also learn from your two brothers."

Yuan Biao said honestly: "I will."

Yang Ye said to everyone again: "This time we are filming in Paris, and the cost is several times higher than in Hong Kong, so we must work quickly. The construction period is set at two months, and everyone must go all out."

Hong Jingbao smiled and said: "Actually, the two-month construction period is relatively long in Hong Kong."

Yang Ye said: "They can only survive in the small puddle in Hong Kong. Naturally, they have to find ways to reduce costs. We have overseas markets, and of course we must strive for excellence. Overseas markets are hard to come by, so we must be cautious."

In fact, after entering the 80s, Chen Long's films have transcended the scope of Hong Kong films. The investment in one of his films can be tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. He can produce filming locations all over the world, airplanes, sports cars and even nuclear submarines. Other people's films The box office is not even as high as the investment in his movies.

Under this circumstance, Chen Long's film output has basically remained at the rate of 1 to 2 films a year. Compared with other superstars, his output at his peak was not high because the cycle of making a film for him was relatively short. Others are much longer.

For other superstars, such as Chow Yun-fat and Chow Sing-chi, five or six films a year were the basic operation during their peak period, and ten or more films were also appropriate.

This is a common mentality among human beings. It’s easy to become popular, so of course you should take advantage of the opportunity to make more.

In the 90s, Lin Qingxia became famous thanks to the Invincible Dongfang. She once thought about taking on roles cautiously, but one of her friends persuaded her, "You are already working for the fourth generation, how many more years can you be popular?"
Lin Qingxia thought it made sense, so she won the Dongfang Invincible cosplay of "Peerless Twins", "Six-Fingered Piano Demon", "Sword Laughter", "Legend of Fire Cloud", "Legend of the White-haired Witch"... Tens of millions were successfully landed.

Chen Long's mentality of controlling the speed of film production is extremely rare in this era. The reason is that on the one hand, he can keep his composure, and on the other hand, it is because his influence is large enough, allowing him to strive for excellence, and others think There are no conditions for playing like this.

Therefore, Chen Long has been popular for the longest time.

In Hong Kong, Chen Lung competed with the Hui brothers in the late 70s, competed with Chow Yun-fat in the 80s, competed with Stephen Chow in the 90s, and entered Hollywood in the late 90s, becoming famous all over the world.After returning to the mainland after the millennium, the film "Twelve Zodiac Signs" once again achieved great success...it has been a solid success for 50 years.

Yang Ye chatted with Hong Jingbao and others for a while, and then EMI staff came over. Yang Ye said, "I'll communicate with them first."

After saying that, he took Adjani to find another place. When Ke Shouliang saw Yang Ye leaving, he came over and said, "Brother Bao, Brother Long, who is this ghost girl?"

Hong Jingbao said: "You don't know this? The heroine of our movie, Mr. Yang's horse, the most beautiful woman in France, Isabelle Adjani."

Ke Shouliang exclaimed: "Young Shao is so awesome!"
