Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 175 I play myself

Yang Ye held a party at home for the first time and invited many guests.

Sister Zhou was exhausted and couldn't handle this situation, so Yang Ye invited a team of chefs from Liyuan.

When it was past four o'clock during the day, Yang Ye announced that he would get off work early and go home to greet the guests.

As soon as I got home, I saw the Xu brothers sitting in the living room drinking tea, with a dozen Remy horses on the table.

Yang Ye laughed and said: "Rare visitors, rare visitors! Brother Jie, you really brought wine here."

Xu Guanjie smiled and said: "I'm willing to admit defeat!"

Seeing that there were no guests at this time, Yang Ye said: "You two, please come to the study to talk!"

The three of them entered the study room on the second floor. After sitting down, Yang Ye took out a script from the drawer, handed it to the Xu brothers in duplicate, and said, "I saved a script. Brother Wen, you are the king of comedy." , can you give me some help?"

Xu Guanwen hurriedly said: "Young Master Yang, you are so humble. Not only are you invincible in kung fu movies, but also when it comes to comedy, I admire you very much. The movie "Drunken Master" that you helped Aaron write makes me laugh every time I watch it." It hurts. The heartwarming jokes in "Alien" are also very well choreographed."

Xu Guanwen said, and he and his brother took over Yang Ye's script, said a few polite words, and then started reading.

The relationship between Jiahe and its satellite companies is relatively loose. Those satellite companies come and leave as they please.

In later generations, Hung Jingbao once opened two film companies at the same time. While staying in Golden Harvest, he also cooperated with Pan Dickson.

The movies produced by Baiyang Film Company so far, except for one "ET", are all action movies, which are too monotonous.

Yang Ye has always wanted to expand his business based on focusing on kung fu movies.

So some time ago, he recruited Li Xing to run the Taiwan branch, and supported Xu Anhua to make a feature film, putting one foot into the field of literary films.

However, literary and artistic films are just appetizers. Apart from kung fu films, the most popular Hong Kong films are comedies.

Hong Kong kung fu movies have global influence, and comedies are popular in Southeast Asia.

There are only two kings of comedy films, Xu Guanwen now and Zhou Xingchi in the future.

Yang Ye planned to recruit Xu Guanwen last year, but at that time Xu Guanwen was preparing "Deed of Sale" and the two did not have in-depth conversations.

Some time ago, Zheng Donghan successfully pulled Xu Guanjie out of PolyGram and switched to Baiyang Records, which cost him a lot.

One of them is that Yang Ye personally took action to tailor a movie for Xu Guanjie.

Xu Guanjie's classic movie "The Swordsman" was plundered by Yang Ye, so it is only natural that he should be given a movie back.

Recently, Yang Ye has been thinking about making a comedy, not only to fulfill his promise, but also to take the opportunity to recruit Xu Guanwen.

Making action movies, like making comedies, relies heavily on actors, and not all cats and dogs can play them.

Yang Ye has a lot of comedy scripts waiting to be filmed, but he must find a suitable spokesperson.

In the current Hong Kong film industry, Xu Guanwen is the only candidate for this spokesperson.

If Yang Ye just wants to fulfill his promise to Xu Guanjie, then he can just go to "Best Partner".

But it was very difficult for Yang Ye to include the Xu brothers in a movie.

After much deliberation, the most suitable one is still the famous "囧" in later generations.

"囧囧" is not to say how classic it is, the main thing is that it is suitable and the quality is not bad.

Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, and Wang Baoqiang can be seamlessly replaced by the three brothers Xu Guanwen, Xu Guanjie, and Xu Guanying.

"Thailand" tells the story of Xu Zheng and Huang Bo who went to Thailand to find another partner, Lao Zhou, in order to fight for control of the company.Xu Zheng met Wang Baoqiang on the plane and caused a series of embarrassing incidents.

The word "囧" has not yet been discovered and used in this era, and the contexts in Cantonese and Mandarin are also different, so the title of the film was changed to the combined name of Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang in the movie... "Legend of Thailand".

The only BUG is that there is no such thing as a mobile phone now, and replacing it with a mobile phone is not feasible, because there is no mobile phone in Hong Kong, let alone in Thailand.

However, if you change the details and use a landline phone to talk, you can fool him.

If you have to contact someone on the way, use a call machine and then find a place to call back. Call machines have now become popular in Hong Kong.

Why did Yang Ye bring Xu Guanying in?Because he plans to replace Eric Tsang with Xu Guanying in the future "Five Lucky Stars" series.

In 2020, Zhuo Wei's team exposed the complete video of the Jianjian incident mentioned by Lan Jieying in an interview before her death, pointing out that the two entertainment industry eldest brothers who committed the murder were Deng Guangrong and Zeng Zhiqiao.

The specific dialogue is as follows:

Reporter: Are you telling the truth that Deng Guangrong is strong?

Lan Jieying: Why did I lie to you?
Reporter: When?
Lan Jieying: It's been a long time, probably more than 30 or [-] years. How did he die?Heart disease?
Reporter: Yes, heart disease.

Reporter: Why did Zeng Zhiqiang strengthen you?

Lan Jieying: He was drunk, but I think he did this because he was "possessed by an evil spirit".

Yang Ye is not complaining about Lan Jieying or anything. Yang Ye himself goes around picking up girls, and he is not a good bird either.

It's just that Yang Ye feels that there is still a certain bottom line in being a human being. If you like a woman and want to get her, you can use any tricks.

If you just go up and strengthen yourself, this horse riding would be too insolent.Yang Ye didn't want to have anything to do with such a thing.

Now that Hong Jingbao is under Yang Ye's banner, his most famous Five Lucky Stars series will definitely be filmed.

Yang Ye had made plans early on to let Xu Guanying play Luo Han Guo instead of Zeng Zhifu. Anyway, both of them were short and ugly.

It's all tears talking about it. They are both raised by the same mother and father. The fourth child, Xu Guanjie, is tall and handsome, but the third child, Xu Guanying, is short and ugly. Who can I ask to reason?

The script of "Legend of Thailand" provided by Yang Ye is actually relatively rough. Due to the similarities and differences in the times and usage habits, a large number of language gags need to be redesigned and replaced with Cantonese slang.

These things were all omitted by Yang Ye. Xu Guanwen himself graduated from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He has great literary skills and is a comedian. He can add these things himself, and he can compile them better than Yang Ye.

Yang Ye only retained the main line of the plot and some key laughs, such as Muay Thai, SPA, and Thai ladyboys.

Making scallion pancakes, a regional delicacy, has been replaced by making wife pancakes. Anyway, you have to knead, knead and roll out the dough.

……

There were not many words in the script, and it was a simplified version. The two brothers finished reading it in less than half an hour.

Xu Guanwen smiled and said: "This script seems to be tailor-made for our brothers?"

Yang Ye smiled and said: "Well, if you are interested, Brother Wen, you can set up a film studio here like Sanmao and Aaron, and the treatment will be the same as them. There are no restrictions here, and your original The Brothers Company can still be retained, and you are free to decide who you want to cooperate with in the future."

Xu Guanwen said: "Master Yang, just call me Awen."

He and Xu Guanjie exchanged glances and said, "Young Master Yang, you are so generous and tailor-made a movie script for us three brothers. Naturally, we cannot be shameless. And this script is indeed excellent, so we accepted it."

Yang Ye smiled and said, "How about you become the director, Awen?"

Xu Guanwen thought for a while and said, "Okay!"

The three of them then talked about the treatment of the studio. On the surface, the remuneration for opening a studio here in Yang Ye is less than that in Jiahe, but the data is clear, it is easy to settle accounts, and there are not so many tricks, so the actual remuneration is There will be more.

So we had a great conversation, and after finalizing the preliminary agreement, we left the study.At this time, many guests had come. Yang Ye quickly said sorry to the Xu brothers and went down to greet the guests. …

Guan Zhilin wore a pink skirt and hung around her neck the diamond necklace Yang Ye gave her. She attracted the attention of the audience as soon as she entered.

She had just turned 17 and was like a green apple. Many men in the room couldn't help but salivate at the sight of her.

"Brother Ye, am I beautiful?"

Yang Ye gave a thumbs up: "It's so beautiful!"

In the corner, Xu Jie, who looked innocent, frowned and said, "Where does this woman come from?"

Xu Feng said: "The daughter of the Guan family, she has been pestering Aye since she was 14 years old."

"14 years old?" Xu Jie was shocked, "Brother-in-law is too beastly."

"What are you talking about? She was pestering Aye, and Aye didn't agree to her."

Xu Jie said: "It's hard to say, she looks even more coquettish than a vixen. By the way, aren't you angry that there are so many warblers around my brother-in-law all day long?"

Xu Feng said: "If they are angry, they won't pester Ah Ye? There are countless women in this world who like Ah Ye. If I were angry, I would be angry to death."

Xu Jie said: "Then as the real wife, you just don't reveal your identity to the outside world. But you still want to tolerate him flirting with women? I really don't understand what you think."

Xu Feng said: "Have you ever seen a successful person who just keeps one wife? I am a divorced woman with no education, and I am not worthy of Aye at all. He loves me and is willing to marry me. Wife, I am already satisfied, nothing else matters."

"Is it just because of gratitude? Don't you love him?"

"Of course! He not only pulled me out of the abyss, but also guided me in the future and told me the meaning of life. Everything I have now was given by him, and I will never be able to repay his kindness in my life. You may feel I said it was all about salvation, repayment, gratitude, etc., not love.

In fact, I don’t know what love is. I only know that I am very happy when I am with him. No matter what I do, I find it very interesting. I even wake up from my dreams laughing.Therefore, those rescues, repayments, gratitude... to me, they are all part of love. I am willing to follow him all my life, I love him! "

Xu Jie held his forehead and said: "I feel that although my brother-in-law pulled you out of the abyss you were in, he sank you into his abyss again. You just... escaped from the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth again. Sister, sister ,you are hopeless."

Xu Feng rolled his eyes at her: "I don't need help."

After she said this, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach and said quickly: "I'm going to the bathroom."

……

In the bedroom on the second floor, Yang Ye pressed Guan Zhilin against the door and kissed her for a while, then said: "Jiahui, be good, brother Ye has many guests to entertain tonight, you have to be more sensible."

Guan Zhilin's feet were weak from being kissed by Yang Ye, her cheeks turned red and she said, "I just want to stay with you for a little longer."

Yang Ye pecked her little mouth again and said, "When the filming of this movie is finished, I will accompany you!"

"Are you talking?"

"Of course, if you don't believe it, let's hook up."

"Go, it's only the children who pull the hook!"

Yang Ye chuckled and said, "I'm leaving first. You can go out later."

……

Yang Ye came out of the bedroom and went to the bathroom. He was worried that there would be Zhilin's lip marks on his face, so he planned to clean it, but he saw Xu Feng at the door.

"vomit!"

"what happened to you?"

Yang Ye quickly walked up and patted her back gently.

Xu Feng turned around and saw Yang Ye, shook his head with a smile, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just felt like vomiting suddenly."

Yang Ye was stunned, and suddenly said in surprise: "Wife, are you pregnant?"

"Ah?" Xu Feng reacted immediately and smiled happily: "Really?"

Yang Ye held her in his arms and said with a smile: "Most likely, we will find out after going to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow."

As he spoke, he wanted to kiss Xu Feng. Xu Feng quickly said: "I, I... rinse your mouth."

"Forehead!"

……

"What are you so happy about?" Deng Lijun couldn't help but ask when she saw Yang Ye coming downstairs with a smile on his face.

Yang Ye said: "I discussed cooperation with the Xu brothers today and the discussion went very smoothly. Xu Guanwen agreed to come to our Baiyang Company to set up a film studio."

Deng Lijun thought that this was indeed something to be happy about, so she smiled and said, "Congratulations on adding another strong general. But hasn't Xu Guanwen always cooperated with Jiahe?"

Yang Ye said: "Jiahe's hands and feet are not very clean. They always steal box office and have been caught several times. Moreover, they have recently gone overseas to build theater chains. They also plan to invest in Hollywood movies and mobilize a lot of funds, so... they started dragging The satellite company refused to pay the box office settlement, which gave me an opportunity. However, although Xu Guanwen came to open a film studio here, his Xu Brothers Company was still retained."

Deng Lijun nodded and said, "That's it, just take your time."

Yang Ye said: "This time I wrote a script for the Xu brothers. There is a very important role in it. Can you help me make a guest appearance?"

Teresa Teng said strangely: "There are so many actresses, why do you want me to act? I can't act either!"

In fact, Teresa Teng has acted before, and she acted in three movies when she first debuted.

Yang Ye smiled and said: "No one else can play this role except you."

"why?"

"Because this character is Teresa Teng, how can anyone else play it?"

Lijun Deng fainted: "You want me to appear in real life?"

Yang Ye smiled and said: "That's right, you play yourself.

This is a funny scene in the movie.

Xu Guanwen checked Xu Guanying's things and found many photos of Deng Lijun.

Xu Guanwen asked, what are these photos for?
Xu Guanying said, this is my girlfriend.

Xu Guanwen said, Lijun Deng is your girlfriend?Did you cut these photos out of magazines?

Xu Guanying said, no, it was cut from a newspaper.

Then at the end of the movie, you actually appeared, and Xu Guanying just looked stupid! "

After hearing this, Lijun Teng was a little dumbfounded and said, "Okay, I'll act!"

In the original version of "Thailand", when Fan Bingbing appeared at the end, the BGM was "You are Feng'er, I am Sha..."

In this version of "Legend of Thailand", Yang Ye, the BGM for Teresa Teng, has already thought about it, which is "Sweet honey, your smile is so sweet..."
