Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 162 The Most Beautiful Love Story
Zhang Minyi originally wanted to say some love words to Yang Ye, but she didn't expect Yang Ye to talk to her seriously about the "Top Ten Chinese Songs" awards.

He also came up with a big idea and came up with a specific plan to expand the "Top Ten Chinese Songs" into the "Chinese Music Golden Melody Award".

This made Zhang Minyi a little disappointed, but Yang Ye's proposal was very interesting, and the more she listened, the more interested she became.

Although she was obsessed with Yang Ye, she was actually a career-oriented woman. She quickly devoted herself to this matter and discussed some details with Yang Ye.

In fact, these awards mentioned by Yang Ye, the "Top Ten Chinese Songs" were also awarded later. In the fourth session, Best Lyricist and Best Composer were added. In the No. 16th session, Best Male Singer and Best Song were added. Best female singer.

As for the awards, they are all created from scratch and perfected step by step.

It's just that Yang Ye's proposal made the award ceremony more perfect from the beginning.

Although there are many awards Yang Ye has not proposed.

"I think your proposal seems very...ambitious?"

Zhang Minyi thought for a moment and used the Japanese word "ambition".

Yang Ye smiled and said: "I heard about this, so I will give you some advice. Hong Kong is now the center of the Chinese music industry. Since we are going to award awards, we must take advantage of the first-mover advantage and take the opportunity to expand and include the entire Chinese music industry." Come in."

"The whole Chinese music?" Zhang Minyi was shocked.

Yang Ye nodded: "Yes, we must take advantage of the first-mover advantage, embrace the entire Chinese-speaking world, and form an inseparable whole with each other. Only then can we preserve the fruits of victory and deal with any impact that may occur in the future.

Minyi, you are now a mid-level official, and you may reach a higher level in the future, or even take charge of Hong Kong's entertainment industry.Everything you do now to prepare for a rainy day will become your political capital in the future! "

Yang Ye's words made Zhang Minyi's blood boil. She was moved and said: "I thought you didn't care about me, but it turns out you think so much about me."

Yang Ye said: "It's not that I don't know your affection for me, it's just that the industry I am engaged in is relatively dangerous, and I may fall off the wire one day or die in the ring.

You are a good girl, but I am not a good match for you, so I have always pretended not to know.I just didn’t expect that you would become my woman after all! "

As Yang Ye said that, he turned into a domineering president and kissed her.

Yang Ye kissed Zhang Minyi until she was breathless, then let her go and continued: "Minyi, you are a very enterprising woman with strong abilities. If I want to give you the best gift, it would be Let’s help you in your career!
So, you just said it was still early and we could chat.I didn't say some sweet words of love to make you happy, but I gave you suggestions for the "Top Ten Chinese Songs" awards that your radio station is going to hold, and made prospects and plans for your future career. I hope your life, You can live a colorful life! "

Zhang Minyi was extremely moved. It turned out that Yang Ye had put forward his opinions for a long time and made such a grand idea, all of which were settled here.

This is much more high-end than sending some expensive gifts and saying some stunning love words!

She threw herself into Yang Ye's arms, leaned against her solid chest, and said emotionally: "Aye, to me, those words you just said are the most beautiful words of love. They are sweeter than all the sweet words in the world. Ten thousand times!”

"There are thousands of people who love you in this world, and I'm just an inconspicuous one among them. I originally thought you didn't love me, but I didn't expect that you would think so much about me.

From your words, I can hear that you have great ambitions.I am willing to do my best to accompany you, help you, and work with you to realize that great ideal! "

Zhang Minyi's words were very firm, like an idiot fan. Yang Ye had always scorned such creatures as idiot fans.But if it's his own crazy fan, then...it's so touching.

In fact, not all fans are stupid, there are even a large number of high-minded people, I can only say... paranoid!

……

Yang Ye saw Hu Yinmeng near the airport and said awkwardly: "Yinyin, please make this trip."

Hu Yinmeng snorted, handed his luggage to him, turned around and left.

Even if Yang Ye was fooling around outside, he actually asked her to deliver her luggage to the airport. It was so fucking annoying.

Yang Ye shouted behind her: "Wait, ride my motorcycle back!"

Hu Yinmeng turned around and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will ride it into the Pacific and sink it?"

"It didn't offend you!"

"You go pick up girls every day, and this old car is your accomplice."

"Stop making trouble! Che is innocent, you can punish me, but don't take it out on Che."

"How to punish you?"

"It's up to you, but wait until I get back. Remember to keep in touch with me during this time."

As he spoke, he didn't care about the passers-by around him, and hugged Hu Yinmeng for a painful kiss.

"I'm leaving. When I come back later, you can punish me to your heart's content!"

Hu Yinmeng was stunned by Yang Ye's kiss. When he came back to his senses, Yang Ye had already carried his luggage and ran far away. The speed was so fast that people were stunned!
……

In central Taiwan, there is a large open area near Xiluo Bridge with sparsely populated areas and beautiful scenery. It is the best place for Hong Kong and Taiwan filmmakers to shoot martial arts films.

In 1967, Hu Jinquan filmed "Dragon Gate Inn" here, which became a huge success after its release, breaking through both Taiwan and Hong Kong.Box office records in film history in South Korea, the Philippines, Thailand and other countries.

And let the martial arts film be officially accepted by the world and recognize its artistic value. Internationally, it is equal to Japanese sword and halberd films and American western films, becoming a unique film genre in China.

The most praised thing about "Dragon Inn" is the mountain scenery shown all the time in the movie. Those rocky giant pines, or the leafy branches, or the bald trunks are awe-inspiring. Together with the beautiful photography and exquisite art design, the audience at the time was like Intoxicated.

Since then, a large number of martial arts films from Hong Kong and Taiwan have been shot here.Yang Ye also chose this place when filming "Shaolin Temple".

This is also the reason why Yang Ye is relatively slow in making movies. He pays great attention to picture composition, lighting, scenery, and color matching.

In the words of later generations, it is necessary to ensure that every frame can be used as wallpaper.

If you don't deliberately pursue these things, it can be done quickly. "Food Truck" will start filming at the end of May and will be released in August.

Although for Hong Kong films, three months is not too fast.

After Yang Ye and his party arrived in Taipei, Xu Feng and a few people were left behind to pick up the machine, while the others drove directly to Xiluo Town.

……

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Ye's motorcade arrived at Xiluo Town. Suddenly, there were loud gongs and drums, firecrackers blasting, dragon and lion dances, and a sea of ​​people.

Everyone on the crew was confused. What is going on?

Yang Ye leaned out of the car window and looked around. He found that the leader looked familiar, so he smiled and said, "Everyone, get out of the car!"

Yang Ye led a group of owners into the car and stepped forward to shake hands with the leading middle-aged man.

"Hello, Mayor Chen, what are you doing here?"

"Director Yang, you are a rare visitor! I know you are coming to Xiluo again, and the villagers are here to welcome you!"

"Mayor Chen, you are so polite!"

Then he waved to the villagers and shouted: "Hello, folks!" The team that came to greet them cheered, and the dragons and lions danced more cheerfully.

After "Shaolin Temple" became a global hit, Xiluo Town, the filming location, became a famous tourist attraction, with many people coming here to check in.

As a result, this small town that made a living by growing rice had an inexplicable tourism industry. The townspeople benefited from it, and they naturally had a good impression of Yang Ye.

Now that several years have passed, the tourism enthusiasm brought by "Shaolin Temple" has gradually faded, and Yang Ye is here again!
This was really a windfall, so everyone came beating gongs and drums to greet the crew.

In the evening, the townspeople held a bonfire party by the Zhuoshui River. Everyone ate barbecue and sang and danced around the bonfire.

In October, the autumn air was crisp, and the Pacific wind was particularly comfortable on people. Yang Ye lay on a chair, holding a bottle of beer, and happily watched people playing and playing on the river beach.

A bold small-town girl invited him to dance, but he shook his head and refused with a smile.

"Brother Ye, do you want to eat grilled fish?" Guan Zhilin came over with two grilled fish.

She now plays Yue Lingshan in "Swordsman" and started to use the stage name Guan Zhilin, making her official debut.

"What fish?"

"Saury!"

"Come on one!"

Yang Ye took a saury from Guan Zhilin's hand and nibbled it slowly. The saury meat was firm and suitable for barbecue.

Taiwan is the region with the second largest saury catch in the world, second only to Japan, so this fish is cheap and high-quality and can be found everywhere.

"Brother Ye, it's so fun to film with you!"

"Where's the fun? The filming hasn't started yet."

"Of course it's fun. You're so popular, the townspeople here even throw a bonfire party for you."

"That's because we come here to film and it will bring income to the town. They are not stupid!"

"So it's up to you."

Yang Ye finished eating the fish meat, put the bamboo sticks and fish bones into the paper bag he brought with him, and said with a smile: "Not as good as you!"

Guan Zhilin was stunned: "Me? What am I capable of?"

"I read the letter you wrote to me. You said that after you marry me, you will be a young mistress at home?"

Guan Zhilin said a little embarrassedly: "I was still young at that time, and now I know that I have to go out and do things. But...where can I see my ability?"

"Look, I summarized and thought about it according to your ideas. You don't have to do anything in this life. Your father will support you until you are 20 years old, and then you will marry me.

I will raise you until you are 60 years old, and I will be almost dead by then. Our son will raise you until he is 80 years old.If you live to be a hundred years old, the next 20 years can be passed on to your grandson.Isn’t it enough to live a carefree life? "

Guan Zhilin was stunned when she heard this. She thought about it carefully and said, "This is a good idea. Why didn't I think of it?"

Yang Ye was stunned: "Do you really admit it?"

"There's nothing wrong with that!"

Yang Ye was convinced.

……

The next day, Xu Feng arrived at Xiluo Town with the consigned equipment, and an old man in his 50s came with her.

Xu Feng introduced: "Director, this is Mr. Hua Huiying!"

Yang Ye quickly stepped forward and shook hands with the old man: "Mr. Hua, I have long admired your name."

Hua Huiying said cheerfully: "Young Master Yang, the movies you made are internationally famous and have brought glory to us Chinese people. I have admired your name for a long time!"

Hua Huiying is a photographer. Hu Jinquan’s classic works "Dragon Gate Inn" and "The Heroine" were shot by him, creating a picturesque effect.

When Yang Ye filmed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Hu Jinquan personally served as the photography director and cooperated with the old photographers from the original Phoenix Company to complete the project.

Now that Hu Jinquan is gone, Yang Ye still wants to shoot this kind of texture, so he invites Hua Huiying out.

The organic combination of Hu Jinquan's beautiful scenes and Xu Ke's fierce fighting made Yang Ye full of expectations for the finished film of "The Swordsman".

Hua Huiying had left the film industry long ago, so Yang Ye gave this task to Xu Feng.

This matter is not difficult. Xu Feng and Hua Huiying have known each other for more than ten years.Secondly, it is a great honor to cooperate with Yang Ye.

So Xu Feng went to Taipei in person to express his intention, and Hua Huiying took over the project.

After the crew arrived in Taipei yesterday, Xu Feng ran to see Hua Huiying. Today, they received the consigned equipment and arrived in Xiluo Town together.

Hua Huiying looked at the advanced photographic equipment brought by Xu Feng and said with some excitement: "You guys are really generous in making movies."

Yang Ye said: "When we can produce these equipment ourselves, it will be considered a big deal. Come and take a look at the storyboard script and discuss tomorrow's shooting!"

Yang Ye had to finish filming the exterior scenes before the weeds withered. He only had one month.

Hua Huiying read Yang Ye's split-shot script and praised him for actually thinking about how to fight.Then he said strangely: "Young Master Yang, most of your fighting scenes are shot at an angle and from a low camera position. Why is this? I have never seen this kind of shooting."

Yang Ye said: "The Dugu Nine Swords created by Jin Yong is a kind of mysterious and mysterious martial arts. To materialize this kind of martial arts, we can't shoot it one by one like traditional kung fu movies. I didn't hire a martial arts director for this movie, because it would involve them. experience, so I appointed myself as a martial arts instructor.

My idea is to use stunts and editing to create visual spectacles that go beyond physical conventions and the limits of the human body. For example, if you look at the design of this move, 'Waving Sword Style', by stopping and shooting again, I create a visual spectacle that penetrates the human body. magical effect.

As for why I need to shoot from above, in my opinion, this will produce a three-dimensional scroll effect on the picture, making it more three-dimensional.

The master's martial arts movements are one-dimensional, the tilt angle of the screen is two-dimensional, and the fast panning tracking shots are three-dimensional. Together with the fast and sharp editing, the entire action scene can be richly layered and produce a thrilling effect.

Hua Huiying thought for a while based on Yang Ye's statement, and suddenly her eyes lit up and she said: "Low-angle shots from above will cause objects to deform, and oblique compositions and block-cut editing techniques will make the camera unstable. , thereby enhancing the sense of movement in the fight and producing a strong visual shock.

When we were filming the bamboo forest battle in "The Heroine", we had tried this before, and the effect was very shocking. Unfortunately, the difficulty was too high, so we didn't continue.Unexpectedly, Director Yang actually wanted to shoot the entire film using this method. What a generous move! "

Yang Ye said: "Actually, I also learned from director Hu Jinquan's method. When you filmed "The Heroine", in order to show the lightness of the body, you had the actors jump off the trampoline, and then used the method of shooting from above, and through editing, it made the characters appear to be leaping in the forest. the illusion.

Now I just take it a step further and turn the simple performance of Qinggong into a combination of Qinggong and fighting to achieve the effect of flying and fighting at the same time.To achieve this effect, you need to lie down on the pre-set slide rails and chase them one by one when shooting. It is very hard and you have to be mentally prepared. "

Hua Huiying said: "It's okay if it's hard work. I'm full of energy now and want to present your fantastic ideas."

Yang Ye said: "Then please cooperate happily, and we will go see the scene later!"
