Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 158

Now that Yang Ye saw it, Michael Jackson didn't hide it anymore. He said sadly: "I have vitiligo."

Yang Ye said: "Then you should pay attention to your daily routine, which may alleviate some problems. There is one more thing..."

Yang Ye hesitated for a moment and stopped talking.Michael Jackson asked, "What?"

"As far as I know, there is no cure for this disease. I suggest you make it public at the right time, rather than hiding it. Because... this may become an excuse for racists to attack you.

You have to know that this disease is not life-threatening, and the final outcome is that the skin turns completely white.How should you respond if someone accuses you of bleaching your skin, turning yourself white, and betraying your race? "

Michael Jackson sweatdropped after hearing this, and he said sincerely: "Nick, thank you for your suggestion, I will consider it!"

At the premiere in the United States, in order to create a stunt, "Seven Little Fortunes" placed some heavy boxes on the stage, created some artificial obstacles, and then performed "Qing Gong".

Americans just look stupid!
The next day, a lot of news media rushed to interview Yang Ye. Yang Ye realized that this matter would be of great benefit to the box office of "Fast Food Truck", so he introduced Chen Long to the media!
Chen Long performed some "qinggong" moves on the spot under the camera of reporters, and boasted that this stunt was a top-secret inheritance of ancient China.

Why not say Yang Ye invented it?Because it was Yang Ye who asked him to say this, just to bring a sense of mystery!

Sure enough, after the news was broadcast, it attracted strong attention from young American amateurs, because the moves of "Qing Kung" are so damn cool.

Many people stopped smoking marijuana and girls stopped sleeping. They imitated the actions on TV. Some people even packed their bags and went to Hong Kong to learn from a teacher!

When "Shaolin Temple" was released four years ago, there were young American prostitutes who wanted to go to the Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts. However, that was what was happening in China at that time, and they couldn't go at all.

"Mom, I want to go back to Hong Kong!"

Zhen Zidan watched the scene of "Qing Kung" on TV and couldn't bear it anymore.

It's been a day or two since Zhen Zidan was clamoring to return to China. Mai Baochan had actually already helped her son take care of things. She said, "Danny, we don't have many connections in Hong Kong. Who will take care of you? You want to take Yang Ye as your teacher?" , I don’t know if he will accept it.

I have helped you contact Master Wu Bin from Shichahai Sports School in Beijing, and he has agreed to accept you as a foreign student.You have not received systematic training and your body flexibility is relatively poor. Is it okay to go to the capital to study for a while and lay a solid foundation before you want to go to Hong Kong? "

Zhen Zidan thought that it would be fine to go to China, which was better than staying in the United States.Some time ago, the martial arts team from Beijing went to the United States to perform and competed and exchanged ideas with some local martial arts practitioners in Boston. His mother took him there to see them. Those people were indeed very powerful.

"Okay then, thank you mom!"

……

Yang Ye and others did not stay long in the United States, and soon arrived at the last stop of the trip, Japan!

As soon as she got off the plane, Adjani was surprised by the crazy fans who came to pick her up.

That guy, with loud gongs and drums, blasting firecrackers, waving red flags, and a sea of ​​people...

Yang Ye explained: "Jack and I are both very famous in Japan, even more famous than their local stars, so... this is basically our home court."

The group of people finally got out of the airport and were blocked again at the hotel entrance.

Because the fans were so crazy, Yang Ye was worried about crowding Adjani, so he quickly protected her, and it took him a long time to squeeze through the hotel door.

When I entered, I was unexpectedly kissed by a female fan. After the female fan kissed Yang Ye, she immediately blocked the door and started fighting wildly, not letting anyone in again.

Fortunately, Yang Ye, Chen Long and others had already come in at this time. She went crazy and saved several people.

When several people came to the hotel room, they all sighed. It was so difficult!
Yang Ye sighed: "Go to bed early, I'll be busy tomorrow!"

After everyone said good night, Yang Ye turned off the lights in the room and turned on a flashlight.

Adjani said strangely: "Why did you turn off the light?"

Yang Ye said: "Those fans will stare at my room. If I don't turn off the lights, they won't leave."

Adjani said in shock: "I know you are very popular, but I didn't expect it to be so popular. It's really surprising."

Yang Ye said: "Japanese fans are very crazy, which is different from other regions. Moreover, Japan's economy is very good, and they are very rich. If they know my schedule, they will even follow me around the world."

……

Early in the morning, the youngest president in Japan came to the hotel where the crew of "Food Truck" was staying.

"Welcome to Tokyo, I have prepared a sumptuous breakfast for you all!"

Kadokawa Haruki greeted everyone warmly.

He knew everyone in Yang Ye's group, but this was the first time he met Adjani!

The group of people sat down in the private room, and a sumptuous breakfast was served. Yang Ye drank the flavor-enhancing soup and asked: "How to arrange our itinerary? Do we need a rehearsal?"

Kadokawa Haruki said: "I'm going to record a variety show in the afternoon, where we all play games together. No rehearsal is required. The premiere will be held tomorrow."

Yang Ye said: "You seem to be in a good mood?"

Kadokawa Haruki said: ""Alien" is officially released today. Do you know what the final box office will be?"

"How much?" Yang Ye and others have been traveling in Europe and the United States for half a month. Although they know that "Alien" has been a hit at the Japanese box office, they don't know what the specific data is.

Kadokawa Haruki stretched out a finger: "100 billion yen!"

"Wow!"

Everyone in the crew was shocked and applauded.

100 billion yen means that "ET" breaks the 90 billion yen foreign film record set by "Jaws" in Japan and officially becomes the Japanese box office champion.

These days, the only thing that can beat Lao Si's movies is Lao Si's movies!
This gives Yang Ye some comfort. Although the box office of his "ET" in Europe and the United States has shrunk significantly compared to the old Si version, Japan has excelled and is on the same level as the old Si version.

You must know that there is a five-year difference in release time between the two. If inflation is taken into account, the Japanese box office of Yang Ye's version of "Alien" exceeds that of Lao Si's version.

Japan's super high box office proves that it is not that Yang Ye failed to make ET well, but that European and American white-skinned people lack recognition of the East Asian race in the movie.

However...if calculated in US dollars, there is still a lot of difference between the Yangye version and the Laosi version.Because the current yen-to-dollar ratio is 190:1, and by 1983, it will rise to 150:1.

Chen Long suggested: "It's such a joyful thing, how about a drink?"

Yang Ye said: "Drink less, aren't we still recording a program in the afternoon?" Kadokawa Haruki asked someone to bring a bottle of sake over, and each of them poured a glass.

Everyone raised their glasses together: "Congratulations, Mr. Yang!"

"Haha, same joy, same joy!"

Yang Ye drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then drank Ajani's glass as well.

Taking advantage of the wine, Haruki Kadokawa asked: "Yang Sang, if I want to make a sword and halberd film, do you have any suggestions?"

After Kadokawa Haruki established Kadokawa Pictures, he began making movies.

His entrepreneurial work "The Inugami Family" was both a critical success and a box office hit, with a box office allocation of 16 billion yen, ranking second in the country's animation industry this year.

The subsequent "Proof of the World" and "Proof of the Wild" both exceeded 20 billion yen in box office.

Three consecutive movies have been box office hits, proving that this guy has really great vision!
And in the following years, masterpieces were released every year, which single-handedly made popular idol stars Yakushimaru Hiroko, Sanada Hiroyuki and others, and caused a huge whirlwind in the even more sluggish Japanese movie box office.

By 1984, investing in making movies was no longer enough. This guy became the director himself, and his films "Love Story" and "Heaven and Earth" are classics of Japanese movies.

If Yang Ye hadn't interfered, this guy would have invested in the filming of "Sengoku Self-Defense Forces" with an extremely ridiculous plot. It is about the Japanese Self-Defense Forces traveling back to Japan's Warring States Period, flying airplanes and tanks and Oda Nobunaga's army. Fight...

Yang Ye said strangely: "Jianji film is your unique film type in Japan. What suggestions can I make?"

Kadokawa Haruki said: "I am very interested in your kung fu. I hope to add kung fu elements to the sword and halberd film, so I have to ask you for advice on this matter."

Yang Yexin said, this guy is indeed a talent.Hong Kong kung fu movies were originally derived from Japanese sword and halberd movies, but this guy quickly thought of integrating kung fu into sword and halberd movies.

In the original time and space, the two were perfectly integrated and successful. We had to wait until "Rurouni Kenshin" in 2012. That was because Tanigaki Kenji was invited to be the martial arts instructor.

Tanigaki Kenji has been working in Hong Kong for many years and speaks fluent Cantonese. He is a member of the Zhen Family Class and the only Japanese action director in the Xiangjiang Action Stuntmen Guild.

Yang Ye asked: "Is there a script?"

Kadokawa Haruki said nonchalantly: "As long as you agree to help me, script, investment, actors... it's all easy!"

Kadokawa Haruki’s meaning is very clear, I am the second generation of super rich people!
Yang Ye held his forehead and said, "Let me give you a story!"

Kadokawa Haruki is overjoyed, is there such a good thing?He quickly said: "Please speak."

Yang Ye said: "Actually, I have been thinking about this story for a while. It was originally tailor-made for one person. Since Mr. Kadokawa is interested, I will tell it and listen to it.

During the Warring States Period in Japan, the feudal lords from all over the country continued to conquer, and the people suffered terribly.It was not until the establishment of the Tokugawa Shogunate that there was some stability.However, there are still princes who are ambitious and ready to act, and under the surface of peace, there is a turbulent undercurrent.

Obata Yuzhai, who lost his beloved son during the war, established a killer group under the guidance of Master Nanguangfang Tenkai with the aim of assassinating those princes who plotted rebellion.

An Yun, a girl who lost her parents, and nine boys were adopted by Yue Zhai and trained as killers.Not only do they need to possess superb martial arts, but they also need to abandon all emotions and values.

After several years of training, the ten orphans have mastered martial arts. Yue Zhai told the disciples that it was time to go down the mountain to complete the task.Before going down the mountain, Yue Zhai asked them to team up in twos and twos, forming five groups.

So, the disciples all formed a team with their best friends. An Yun and Naizhi were the two strongest among them. They loved each other and naturally formed a team.

At this time, Yue Zhai suddenly issued an order, telling them to kill each other, and only one person from each group could survive..."

Yang Ye briefly narrated the plot, and finally said: "The killer group has lost all its losses, leaving only An Yun who left the team. The enemy captured Yuezhai, laid an ambush, and lured Anyun to death. An Yun came with a knife and killed him alone. Kill a hundred samurai and take revenge. This story is called... "A Hundred Men Kill the Girl"!"

"A girl kills a hundred people? It's interesting. Yang Sang's script is really unique. I didn't expect you to know the history of the Warring States Period. You are so knowledgeable and talented!"

Yang Ye waved his hand and said: "I just picked up a few random names. There is nothing surprising about this movie. The biggest gimmick is that at the end of the story, a cute girl fights one against a hundred, and kills a river of blood."

Kadokawa Haruki nodded and said: "The killing of each other at the beginning was also very shocking. Yang Sang said that this story was tailor-made for one person, so it must be a lovely girl. Could it be... Miss Yamaguchi Momoe?"

Yang Ye smiled and said: "Yes, is there a cuter girl than Momoe in all Japan?"

Kadokawa Haruki laughed: "The world says that Yang Sang and Miss Baihui share life and death, and it seems to be true. Yang Sang's story, plus Miss Baihui's role as Anyun, I will definitely invest in it. Yang Sang, How about you being the supervisor? If you two work together again, it will definitely be a good story."

How could Yang Ye come to direct a Japanese movie? He shook his head and said: "My new movie is about to start shooting. This time I will direct and act. So I'm sorry, I can't spare the time."

Kadokawa Haruki said: "I see, there must be another masterpiece coming out, which is really exciting. What kind of movie is Yang Sang planning to make this time?"

Yang Ye said: "For a martial arts film, I am going to adapt Jin Yong's novel "The Swordsman"."

Kadokawa Haruki was overjoyed: "It seems that I am going to Hong Kong to visit Jin Yong. Yang Sang, thank you for informing me of such a big business opportunity."

Yang Ye: "Huh?"

Kadokawa Haruki said: "Yang Sang's film talent is unparalleled, and every time he comes out, it will definitely cause a sensation. If you want to make Jin Yong's novel into a movie, if I translate his book into Japanese and cooperate with the movie release, I will definitely You’ll make a lot of money!”

Um... Yang Yexin said, you are really a damn talent!

Jin Yong's novels were originally not translated into Japan until the 90s. Unexpectedly, because of Yang Ye's words, they were translated into Japan more than ten years earlier!
Yang Ye said: "If you decide to invest in the filming, I can take the time to play a guest role. As for the supervision, you should find someone else. But..."

Yang Ye turned around and asked Hong Jingbao: "Sanmao, are you interested in being a martial arts instructor in "The Girl Who Killed"? Mr. Kadokawa has a lot of money and will never treat you badly!"

Hong Jingbao is Hong Kong's first-line military commander. If he takes action, Kadokawa Haruki will naturally have nothing to say.

The rich second generation said: "Hong Sang, if you are willing to come, I will pay you three times what you would pay in Hong Kong!"

Hong Jingbao said: "If I have money, I will definitely make it, but... I want to strike while the iron is hot and film the sequel to "Food Truck". We have written a script and are preparing to show it to Mr. Yang for you to review."

"Sequel?" Yang Ye shook his head and said, "Unless Adjani is not included in your sequel, we won't be able to film it for the time being."

Hong Jingbao was stunned: "Why?"

Yang Ye whispered in his ear: "Adjani is pregnant."

Adjani is so famous that her childbirth will definitely be reported.

As soon as Hong Jingbao and the others read the news, they would know that the child was Yang Ye's, so Yang Ye didn't intend to hide it and told him directly.

The heroine was pregnant, so Hong Jingbao had to give up the idea of ​​making a sequel. He had nothing else to do for the time being, so he said: "Okay, I'll take this job!"
