Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

After releasing the "Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs" all the way, Yang Ye, Xu Guanjie, and Alan Tam from Baiyang Records each held a trophy and smiled.

The strange thing is that Teresa Teng actually lost the election.

Yang Ye said calmly: "Don't worry, this is probably a good thing."

Alan Tam has been filming a movie in Taiwan recently. He took a leave of absence and rushed back to attend the award ceremony. He was not very clear about the rules of the Golden Melody Awards. He asked: "What's a good thing?"

Zheng Donghan explained: "The rules of this Golden Melody Award are similar to the Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan. In addition to selecting one best movie every year, the Golden Horse Awards also selects ten outstanding movies. The top ten Chinese golden songs just released are similar to The top ten films of the Golden Horse Awards.”

Alan Tam suddenly realized that there was a final grand prize, and the trophy in his hand suddenly no longer smelled good.

The next step was to hand out the Best Lyricist Award to Lu Guozhan, the author of "Whenever It Changes." This lyric was indeed well written, with concise vocabulary and rich philosophy of life.

Nostalgic for the past, often intoxicated

Half fun, half tearful

Dreams are like life, happiness will always be remembered
The sorrow is profound, hidden in the bone marrow
Time passes, and the four seasons follow secretly
All that has passed has passed
Ah, the bright moon often hangs in the sky

Whenever things change, you know that time has passed

……

Lu Guozhan is a very excellent lyricist. He has many famous works that have been passed down to later generations. In addition to this song "Whenever Things Change", there are also "Little Li Flying Knives", "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" and so on.

In the mid-80s, Lu Guozhan felt that the market was full of lyrics about love between men and women, which were monotonous and boring. Couldn't he write something else?Therefore, the "Non-Love Song Movement" was launched, proposing to seek new breakthroughs in the field of non-love songs.

He himself also practices it personally and does not write love songs.

His starting point was definitely good, but it was contrary to the market at the time. In the end, no one asked him to write songs.

To put it bluntly, Hong Kong’s market is too small to support niche hobbies.

Lu Guozhan's acceptance speech was very simple. He hoped to broaden the scope of his poetry and stop focusing on writing about romance.

This is a man with an "innocent heart" who dares to challenge the times, just like what is written in the lyrics of his song "Don Quixote":
Don Quixote!Don Quixote!May he not feel lonely.

Like him!Like him!My heart is determined not to flinch.

There is a star whose love twinkles at me and urges me secretly.

Or because he secretly looked into my eyes and made me confused
I will try my best to find him, determined to fly to the stars
The joke about Don Quixote breaking into the windmill

I want to continue

……

"The winner of the Best Composer is... Yang Ye, "When Will the Bright Moon Come"!"

The song "When Will the Bright Moon Come" is not only extremely artistic, but also creatively resurrected Su Dongpo's eternal masterpiece. The award is truly deserved.

Yang Ye came to the stage to accept the award and gave a speech, saying: "Song lyrics were originally composed of lyrics, but today, 800 years later, we have no way of knowing how people at that time sang in a low voice. This time, I composed music for Song lyrics. It was a small attempt, but I didn’t expect to receive such love from the audience and the judges. I’m deeply honored. I would like to thank Ms. Teresa Teng. It was your graceful singing voice that gave the words of 800 years ago a voice again.”

Yang Ye came back with the trophy, and Huang Zhan said: "When will you give me my dozen Remy horses?"

Yang Ye smiled and said, "Isn't it that the prizes haven't been distributed yet?"

Huang Zhan complained: "The best lyrics and music are all gone, so you can't give me the best male singer, right?"

It was announced on stage: "The winner of the Best Male Singer of the Year is...Xu Guanjie!"

Huang Zhan immediately said: "Look!"

Everyone celebrated with Xu Guanjie, and Xu Guanjie happily went on stage to receive the award.

Yang Ye said: "Okay, I will buy wine tomorrow."

Xu Guanjie was delivering an acceptance speech on the stage. Huang Zhan rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't we take a gamble."

Yang Ye said: "What are you betting on?"

Huang Zhan said: "Bet on who the diva will be tonight."

The best actress is a movie queen, so the best female singer is naturally a diva.

Yang Ye said: "Okay, what's the bet?"

Huang Zhan said: "The bet is of course a dozen Remy horses."

Yang Ye was speechless: "...you use my Remy horse to bet on Remy horse with me?"

Huang Zhan said smugly: "Why, don't you dare to gamble?"

Yang Ye said: "Just bet, be careful you come up empty-handed. I bet..."

Before Yang Ye finished speaking, Huang Zhan said first, "I bet it's Miss Deng Lijun."

Yang Ye was speechless again: "You are too rogue, you proposed the bet, you said the bet, and then you guessed first?"

"Just tell me whether you want to bet or not?"

"Just bet, I guess..." Yang Ye looked around and said, "Sister Xiaofeng!"

Xu Xiaofeng turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yang Ye quickly waved his hand and said: "It's okay!"

When publishing the top ten Chinese hits before, Xu Guanjie had already performed the award-winning song "Deed of Prosecution" once. This time he changed it to his own famous song "Half a Category Eight Liang". When he got to the point where he was happy, he simply put the microphone in his crotch. , danced, and the audience couldn't stop laughing.Fortunately, the microphones at this time are all corded, so you can pick them up even if they fall in.

After Xu Guanjie finished singing, he came back with the trophy in his arms. Seeing the group of people chatting animatedly, he asked, "What were you talking about?"

Alan Tam smiled and said: "Uncle Zhan made a bet with Young Master on who the diva will be tonight. Uncle Zhan bet on Lijun, and Young Master Yang bet on Sister Xiaofeng. The bet is a dozen Remy horses."

Xu Guanjie was not convinced after losing at cards and asked, "Can I raise my bet? I'll bet on Lijun too."

Alan Tam joined in the fun: "Brother Jie bets on Lijun, so I will bet on Lijun too."

Huang Zhan said proudly: "Now it's three to one, Miss Deng, do you want to bet on yourself to win?"

Deng Lijun was speechless: "How can you bet on yourself?"

In fact, Yang Ye also thinks it's Teresa Teng. This year's "A Touch of Love" was too powerful. The sales volume of more than 200 million copies in three months is still growing.

If everyone is separated by one position, if she doesn’t win, who will win?
However, Huang Zhan was too shameless and said it first, which made Yang Ye feel ashamed.

Yang Ye looked up to the sky and sighed: "You are trying to harm me!"

A group of people bet on their girlfriends to win, but he himself bet on other women to win. What the hell is this?

At this time, the award presenter announced: "The winner of the Best Female Singer of the Year is...Xu Xiaofeng!"

"Forehead……"

A group of people were instantly confused. Even Teresa Deng was confused. She actually thought it was herself.

Xu Xiaofeng happily went on stage to receive the award and sang. Yang Ye patted Teresa Teng's hand and comforted: "There will be a chance next time."

Deng Lijun forced a smile and said: "It's okay, Sister Xiaofeng is well-deserved."

Zheng Donghan sighed: "I have told you before, this man is the God of Gamblers."

Then there were several awards for producer, layout design, and best new artist. Hu Huizhong won the best new artist with her hit song "Misty Rain". She especially thanked Yang Ye on the stage.This made many people turn their attention to Yang Ye's position, thinking that this guy is really awesome, and a newcomer from Taiwan is actually related to him.

At the end of the award ceremony, He Shouxin and Deborah returned to the stage.

He Shouxin said: "The prizes to be handed out next will be sharp."

Deborah said: "How sharp is it?"

He Shouxin said: "That is the annual Supreme Golden Melody Award!"

Deborah said: "Yes, our annual top hits are divided into top Mandarin hits and top Cantonese hits. Let's invite today's award-giving guests, Ms. Zhang Minyi, Director of Radio Hong Kong, and Ms. Fong Yihua, general manager of TVB, to announce the top hits for us. list of winners."

In order to show that there is no difference between the two golden songs, the awards ceremony invited two heavyweight award presenters to announce the winners list together.

Deng Lijun became a little nervous. There were so many prizes given out tonight, but she got nothing. It would be really shameful if she also lost the final grand prize.

Zhang Minyi and Fong Yihua took the stage together. After some humility, Fong Yihua announced the best Cantonese song: "Little Li Fei Dao"!
And Zhang Minyi announced the best Mandarin song: "When Will the Bright Moon Come"!
"Clap clap clap!"

The audience warmly applauded, these two songs were indeed well deserved.

Deng Lijun breathed a sigh of relief, and after celebrating with a few men around her, she left her seat. Luo Wen waited for her in the aisle like a gentleman.

After the two met, Teresa Teng took Luo Wen's arm and happily went on stage to receive the award.

Yang Ye looked at Deng Lijun on the stage and felt relieved.He proudly said to Xu Guanjie and others: "I plan to hold a party to celebrate the night after tomorrow. I haven't bought any wine yet, so remember to bring wine!"

Huang Zhan lost the dozen Remy horses that Yang Ye promised to send him, and said with a sad face: "Can I go and participate?"

……

Overall, this Golden Melody Awards was very successful. The awards presented were also very professional. There were many types of pork and enough points.

The only thing that has been criticized is that Baiyang Records has won too many awards.They have three hits in the top ten, and they also won the Best Binding Design (Won by A Touch of Love), Best Male Singer, Best Composer, and Best Mandarin Song.

After all, Baiyang Records is just a new company with only a few people.

But the singer is awesome, so everyone has nothing to say.

Yang Ye held a trophy in one hand and walked out with Deng Lijun and others. Hu Huizhong ran over holding the "Best Newcomer" trophy and bowed to Yang Ye: "Thank you, Mr. Yang!"

In fact, Hu Huizhong is really not good at singing. She only has a white voice. She won't be able to go far in singing.

But the song "Misty Rain" is catchy and became popular along with the TV series. It is reasonable for her to win the award.

Yang Ye waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, when will you return to Taiwan?"

Hu Huizhong said: "I have to go to the wireless station to record a few programs and go back next week."

Yang Ye hummed and said, "We will have a party the day after tomorrow, come and play!"

Hu Huizhong said quickly: "Okay!"

Yang Ye nodded and left.

……

Interior view of the Lin family dyeing workshop at night.

Zhang Xueyou was dressed in black, with his face covered. He looked around alertly, slowly walked to the waterwheel, and whispered: "The treasure is under the waterwheel?"

As he spoke, he touched the water.

On the other side, Yue Buqun, played by Guan Shan, was also dressed in black, with his face covered, and followed quietly.

The cold moonlight illuminated the rotating water wheel. After a while, Zhang Xueyou climbed out of the water. He brought a jar with him. After opening it, he took out an oil paper bag from inside. When he opened it, the camera gave a close-up, revealing The four words "Sunflower Collection" came out.

Seeing this, Guan Shan flew down from the beam, knocked Zhang Xueyou away with one palm, fell into the water, grabbed the "Sunflower Collection" and ran away.

"Thief, where are you going?"

The mantis stalks the cicada, with the oriole behind. Gu Jinfu, played by Han Yingjie, suddenly appears wearing black clothes and covering his face.

In order to compete for the "Sunflower Collection", the two had a duel.

At this time, Linghu Chong healed his injury and returned to the Lin family dyeing workshop, so a melee broke out. Under Yue Buqun's sharp sword energy, Linghu Chong's "Swordsman" score accidentally fell.

The music scores of "Sunflower Collection" and "Swordsman" are both in the form of a scroll. In the chaos, Yue Buqun took away the music scores, but Linghu Chong got the "Sunflower Collection".

It is very dangerous to hang wires at night, and it also involves the special effect of breaking the water wheel with the palm of your hand during the fight, which is very troublesome to shoot. To ensure safety, you can only take your time.

To break the water wheel with the palm of your hand requires the use of special photography techniques. In fact, all it takes is to blow up a small water wheel.

In order to ensure that the clothes are not worn, the photos are also very precise.

During the last filming of "ET", Baiyang Pictures had already accumulated a certain amount of special photography technology, which was now put to good use.

Whether it is "ET" or "The Swordsman", the special photography techniques used are relatively simple, and the purpose is to accumulate technology for "Terminator".

In Hollywood, the special photography technology used in "Star Wars" has been very mature.

Master Yoda was shot with a model, and the effect was almost realistic. However, Yang Ye did not plan to hire a Hollywood team, he wanted to do it himself!
At this time, Zhang Xueyou completed the motion of falling into the water while hanging the wire. Yang Ye confirmed that there was nothing wrong and said: "Okay, let's call it a day and continue shooting tomorrow."

Yang Ye is very satisfied with Zhang Xueyou's performance. This kid has great acting talent and works hard.

Unfortunately, he doesn't look handsome enough and he can't fight, so it's hard to be the protagonist.

Zhang Xueyou knows his weaknesses. Apart from filming recently, he just stays in the "Yang Family Martial Arts Hall" and practices with the dragon and tiger martial arts masters.

On the weekends, he would go back to the training class and find ways to make up for the missed lessons.

Baiyang Company now has dozens of trainees, but most of them work part-time and come to practice in their spare time.

There is no tuition fee here, and students are taught skills, so everyone rushes to sign up. Unfortunately, the selection is very strict, and not just anyone can come if they want to.

Among the many trainees, Zhang Xueyou and Liu Hua can be regarded as the two benchmarks, because they were recruited by Yang Ye personally and they are also the oldest.

Whether they can be popular or not is related to whether the training class can develop a reputation, so the requirements are very strict, and they work very hard.

In Hong Kong today, hard work is actually the norm.

Most of the early Hong Kong stars had very difficult family conditions, and there were very few young men like Leslie Cheung.

In order to get ahead, they believed that as long as they can't do it, they will do it to death, so they both practiced hard. Because of this, the Hong Kong entertainment industry of that era produced many good works.

In the time and space where Yang Ye originally lived, almost all entertainment stars came from film schools and music schools.

The high fees of these schools are beyond the reach of ordinary families, so the entertainment industry is almost dominated by the second generation, and there are even children of old people.

These old people have completed their primitive accumulation by sucking the blood of ordinary people, and they also send their children into the entertainment industry to create the persona of a horse-riding noble son or a wealthy lady, so that people can worship them.

nausea!

What good works can these people produce?

If you are divorced from the masses of the people, what you filmed is bullshit!
