Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 183 Art is Explosion

"I heard you have a black belt in Taekwondo?"

The next day, Yang Ye met Luo Lixian and asked this question at the beginning.

"Yes, I studied for more than a year and was promoted to Dan last year!"

"Awesome!" Yang Ye gave a thumbs up.

"I can't compare with you, Mr. Yang."

Although he said this, Luo Lixian did not have any humility, but was very arrogant.

This is good. If you are not arrogant when you are young, when will you be arrogant?
Without this energy, he wouldn't have been able to do what he did later.

"what are you doing now?"

"Working as a coach in a Taekwondo gym."

"Then why are you my member again?"

"The equipment here is the most advanced in Hong Kong, and the training methods are very scientific, which I have never been exposed to before."

"I heard that you are good at playing with cars?"

"Okay!"

"Are you new this year? Are you driving before you are a minor?"

“Because I don’t have a driver’s license and I’m afraid of being caught by the police, I drive very fast every time!”

"Never been caught?"

"How can those cops catch me!"

"Find some time, let me try your skills. If you pass the test, quit your job as a bad coach and follow me from now on!"

"Follow you?"

Yang Ye's tiger body trembled: "You don't want to?"

Luo Lixian said: "Of course I am willing, when will I try?"

Yang Ye thought to himself that my reputation is indeed not built on, he is a bit like Gongming's brother.Said: "Let's wait for two days and wait for me to find a venue."

"OK, let me know when the time comes."

Yang Ye wanted to laugh a little, this kid is so crazy!

……

Although Yang Ye's conditions for recruiting actors were simple, there were not many dragon and tiger martial arts masters who met the requirements, and only a dozen came.

Because Longhu martial arts masters often have to be stand-ins. If they are small, they can stand in for not only men but also women, and there will be more job opportunities.

If you are tall, you can only stand in for taller actors, and those who need stand-ins are mostly action movie actors. Action movie actors do not need to be tall, because it is difficult to perform actions if you are tall.

Hong Kong's top action movie actors are all small, Chen Lung is 174, Yuen Biao is 172, Jet Li is 169, Donnie Yen is 168...

A fat man like Hong Jingbao didn't have enough to eat when he was a martial arts master of Longhu because he could only stand in for Shum Dianxia.

There were some fitness athletes who met the requirements, but after Yang Ye passed it once, they were all eliminated.

In the end, Yang Ye targeted a very vicious-looking man among the Longhu martial arts masters.

One of the characteristics of Hong Kong movies is that the bad guys are directly played by someone who looks fierce and evil-looking. Therefore, there are the famous "Four Evil Guys" in Hong Kong movies.

And now this one is the "big fool" among the four evil people, Cheng Kui'an.

Yang Ye knew the truth and asked: "What's your name?"

"Hello, Mr. Yang, my name is Cheng Kui'an. I am 24 years old, 1.8 meters tall, and I work as a dragon and tiger martial artist in Lishi."

"Who recommended you to come?"

"Master Liang Xiaolong, I'm with him."

Yang Ye nodded, rummaged through the table, found Cheng Kui'an's information, took a look at it, and asked, "Have you ever been in jail?"

Cheng Kui'an nodded: "Yes."

"Why do you write that you have been in jail? Aren't you afraid that I will eliminate you immediately if I see it?"

Cheng Kui'an said honestly: "Master Liang taught me this. He said that participating in your movie is a big deal and it's best not to do any tricks."

"You are very honest. Why are you in jail?"

"In 72, I was working as a thug in a dance hall. I was caught by the police and sentenced to four years. But I performed well and was released in eight months."

"Take off your shirt!"

Cheng Kui'an took off his shirt, revealing his tendons, and posed in two poses. In order to show friendship, he even grinned at Yang Ye.

Spicy eyes!
"can you drive?"

"I can!"

"You stay for now. Yin Yin, ask the others to go back first, then call Luo Lixian and inform him to report to the Raptors stunt team."

After sending the others away, Yang Ye said: "Follow me!"

Cheng Kui'an followed Yang Ye, feeling a little uneasy. Yang Ye sent everyone else away. This probably meant that he was going to be used, but he didn't explicitly say that he was going to be used.

Several people got in the car, Li Zhengyang drove, Yang Ye sat in the passenger seat, and Cheng Kui'an and Hu Yinmeng sat in the back seat.

Li Zhengyang did not allow Yang Ye to sit in the back row because the back row was unsafe.

It is generally believed that the passenger seat is a death position, but this is actually a rumor.

Because car safety tests are biased towards the front row, for example, airbags have become a legal necessity in many countries, but the safety needs of the rear row have been ignored intentionally or unintentionally, so the rear row is the most dangerous.

The main reason why people think that the passenger side is the most dangerous is that when an accident occurs, the driver's instinctive avoidance reaction will be to hit the passenger side with the passenger side.

However, Li Zhengyang is a bodyguard, and his task is to ensure Yang Ye's safety. He can die, but Yang Ye cannot, so this point can be ignored.

……

The Raptors stunt team is in the suburbs far away from the city because they often practice crashes and test explosions, which is very disturbing to the public, so they can try to avoid complaints.

The car was driving on the road when suddenly a Toyota Corolla came rushing from behind. The car had obviously been modified and made a huge roar.

The car caught up from behind, inserted itself into the lane, passed Yang Ye's car with a swipe, turned a corner, and disappeared.

Li Zhengyang drove the car calmly as before, Yang Ye secretly complained, using the drainage ditch to make the bend, where is the word "D" when you step on the horse and pat your head?Your old Toyota can only go up mountains, but my Mercedes-Benz can go up trees.

After a while, when I arrived at the Raptors Stunt Team, I saw a handsome young man standing with Ke Shouliang, pointing at a Corolla.

Needless to say, the guy who overtook the car just now was Luo Lixian, and now the two of them should be discussing car modifications.

Ke Shouliang saw Yang Ye's car and said to Luo Lixian, "Master Yang is here!"

As he said that, he stepped forward to greet him.

Yang Ye smiled as soon as he got off the car: "You already know each other?"

Ke Shouliang said with a smile: "We just met. A-Xian is an expert in modifying cars." Yang Ye said: "I heard that his blasting skills are also good. You two can communicate more in the future."

Yang Ye didn't say much. After the group gathered together, they drove a few cars to move their positions. Not long after, they arrived near Bride's Pool in Plover Cove, New Territories.

This place is very remote and has complicated road conditions. It is a gathering place for Hong Kong racing enthusiasts. People die every year. It is also a famous haunted place.

Yang Ye pointed to a pre-selected hillside and said to Luo Lixian: "I want you to roll over from here, can you do it?"

The hillside is more than ten meters high and very steep, almost [-] degrees.Luo Lixian glanced at it but said nothing.

Seeing his hesitation, Yang Ye asked, "What? Is it too high?"

Luo Lixian said disdainfully: "It's too low. I climbed over 40 meters."

Yang Ye was speechless, Ke Shouliang patted Luo Lixian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You kid!"

Ke Shouliang drove a second-hand broken car. He handed the car to Luo Lixian, and Luo Lixian drove away without saying a word.

A moment later, a white car rolled over directly from the opposite hillside. The scene was extremely thrilling, and Hu Yinmeng's face turned pale when he saw it.

After the car hit the bottom, it was scrapped and deformed. Cheng Kui'an rushed up to save people, but saw the car door being opened and Luo Lixian jumped out vigorously.

Yang Ye was convinced and clapped, this kid is so powerful.

Later, Yang Ye tried his explosive skills again and said, "Now, let me blow this car up into the sky and still have it fall down. We are standing here. If you hurt someone, you will be considered a failure."

Luo Lixian visually measured the distance, it was about five meters away, and said, "No problem."

However, Yang Ye and others did not stand there in the end, but replaced them with a few straw men.

Blasting is not difficult, the difficult thing is controlling the direction and scope of the explosion.

After Luo Lixian buried the explosive point, he stood with the straw men and activated the explosive device. Yang Ye and others stood and watched from a distance.

There was a loud "boom", and a fireball rose into the sky. The wrecked car was blown up several meters high and fell back to the same place.

"awesome!"

Everyone clapped, this kid is indeed an expert in playing with explosives.

Yang Ye said: "You will join Xiao Hei's Raptors stunt team in the future. Like Xiao Hei, you will also hold 20% of the shares. However, Xiao Hei is older than you and entered the industry earlier than you. You have to listen to him. Of course, if you If you are not convinced, you can challenge him yourself."

Stunt work is a very risky profession. Life and death are only a matter of thoughts, so stunt people live a life of today and no tomorrow. After Ke Shouliang died, his wife and children had a difficult life, so Yang Ye was very generous in giving shares.

Luo Lixian and Ke Shouliang had chatted before when they were in the Raptors stunt team. They knew that the other person was also an expert in playing cars, so they felt a little sympathy for each other.

I joined later, so it's normal for me to listen to Ke's good intentions.Being able to get the same shares as Ke Shouliang, Yang Ye already gave him a lot of face, and said: "No problem. But Brother Hei, I still want to discuss with you."

Ke Shouliang also admired Luo Lixian very much. He hooked his shoulder and said, "No problem. I'll be with you anytime."

Yang Ye added: "Axian, I appreciate your unruly look, but when doing stunts, people's lives are at stake, so you must be cautious. If there are casualties due to your negligence, that is your dereliction of duty. You are still I am not an official stunt person, so I will train with Xiao Hei during this period and ask him for more advice."

This was reasonable and reasonable, Luo Lixian said quickly: "I understand."

Yang Ye nodded and said: "I'm going to start shooting a large-scale science fiction movie, which has a lot of car chases and explosion scenes. I will give you the relevant scripts later. In addition to training during this period, you also have to go to the scene for observation." Terrain, in order to ensure smooth shooting, it is best to test the explosion first. Hong Kong’s laws do not allow shooting explosions in the city, so you must make complete plans in advance.”

Both of them expressed their understanding, and Yang Ye said to Cheng Kui'an: "A Cheng, run around! If Xiao Hei and A Xian agree with your driving skills, you will play the male villain of my new film."

The role of T800 in the first film did not require acting skills. He just had to kill people with a straight face. He didn't even have a few lines. Cheng Kui'an is tall and powerful and has a good image. He has no problem playing this role.

Cheng Kui'an couldn't help but be overjoyed after hearing this. He originally thought that he was not an important character, but he didn't expect that he was actually the male villain.

For a low-level dragon and tiger martial artist like him, winning the Mark Six Lottery is not so exciting. Ke Shouliang and Luo Lixian also looked envious.

"Don't get too excited. Pay attention to safety. If something happens, your joy will be in vain."

"Young Master Yang, don't worry!"

Cheng Kui'an got into the car with Ke Shouliang and Luo Lixian, then drove forward at a furious speed and disappeared at the end of the road in an instant.

In addition to being an actor, Cheng Kui'an is also a racing driver. He has participated in the China Rally and the National Rally Championship and achieved some results.

Yang Ye asked Hu Yinmeng: "Don't you understand why I let them do such a dangerous thing?"

"No, I think it's cool!"

"Um... I saw that you didn't speak. I thought you were frightened by the explosion just now, so I was going to comfort you."

Hu Yinmeng had been following Yang Ye for so long that Yang Ye almost forgot that this woman was unruly and unruly. Her heart was always restless, but Yang Ye's light was so bright that she was willing to stay dormant for the time being. Just by his side.

Hu Yinmeng was very impressed by Yang Ye's concern and said with a charming face: "Then how are you going to comfort me?"

Yang Ye said: "It's nothing, just explain the purpose of doing this. Most of the action movies we shoot now are kung fu, which is also our biggest advantage, because there is no Chinese martial arts abroad.

But if you look at the 007 series produced by Hollywood, they are also action movies.They don't have martial arts, their box office is higher than ours, and it sells well in Asia.They just rely on car chases, explosions, and gun battles.

What I want to do now is to make up for this shortcoming. I want to do things other than kung fu. I want to surpass Hollywood in all aspects! "

Hu Yinmeng is willing to follow Yang Ye because of his arrogant attitude. Yang Ye said at the Golden Horse Awards ceremony that he would be the protagonist of the world!This made Hu Yinmeng put away her edge and willingly be the protagonist's woman, taking care of many trivial matters for him.

Hu Yinmeng said: "But I always feel that your kung fu movies are more artistic and much better than those of 007. Although they also stimulate adrenaline and make people excited when watching them."

Yang Ye smiled and said: "Art is explosion!"

As the two chatted, Cheng Kui'an and the other three drove back. After getting off the car, Ke Shouliang and Luo Lixian expressed their approval of Cheng Kui'an's driving skills.

Yang Ye nodded and said: "A Cheng, it's you. But your muscles are not big enough yet. During this period, you should stop doing your job as a dragon and tiger martial artist. Go to my martial arts hall and I will let someone make a plan for you." You must strictly implement a training plan, and I will give you three months to train to the standards of a bodybuilder."

Cheng Kui'an said quickly: "No problem!"

Yang Ye said: "Xiao Hei, find someone to clean up the explosion site. I'm going back first!"

……

The post-production of "The Swordsman" was completed very quickly. After the rough cut came out, Yang Ye sent a copy to the Cannes Film Festival and soon received an invitation to participate in the exhibition.

Yang Ye planned to leave for France in April. Adjani's due date was in early May, and he was going to accompany her during the delivery.

Before that, he still has to decide on the heroine of "Terminator".

The character Sarah Connor is now named Lisa Yang.The character of Kyle Reese is now named Kai Li.

Lisa Yang was just an ordinary girl working in a restaurant, but she was inexplicably hunted down by a robot from the future. Then a man rescued her and said to her, your son will become the savior of the future.

This motif is actually the Virgin Mary and Jesus.

Lisa Yang became determined from an ordinary girl. At the end of the first part, she was pregnant with the child and began to prepare for the future.

By the second part, she has become a brave female warrior.

Among Chinese actresses, there is only one person who fits the image, and that is the world's number one hit girl, Yang Ziqiong.

Yang Ziqiong was very beautiful when she was young. She was a ballet dancer when she was a child, and later represented Malaysia in diving competitions.

At the age of 21, she participated in the beauty pageant and became the Miss Malaysia champion. Later, she represented Malaysia in the 33rd Miss World Competition, and finally ranked 18th overall.

If the first "Terminator" is successful and you want to make a second one, you have to wait for technological advancements.

We have to wait until at least eight years later, when Yang Ziqiong will transform into a fierce female beater, perfectly qualified for the second part of the character.
