Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 19 The Walled City has many talents

Zou Wenhuai worked vigorously and resolutely. Once he decided, he quickly signed an agreement with Yang Ye.

At this time, Baiyang Pictures' license was officially obtained.

Xia Meng didn't understand the agreement signed by Yang Ye. Wouldn't it be equivalent to giving up the share of Hong Kong and Nanyang in vain?
Yang Ye chuckled and said: "It's not in vain, isn't there still a reward of 10 yuan?"

To say that a salary of [-] yuan is already a sky-high price for a newcomer Yang Ye.

But Yang Ye is the director, screenwriter, and starring of this movie... and has a lot of responsibilities.

Xia Meng was speechless. During this period, she helped Yang Ye register a film company, find an office location, recruit employees... and did a lot of things.

After getting along all the way, Xia Meng had a good impression of Yang Ye and admired his talents. Moreover, both of them had the surname Yang and were from the same family, so they regarded Yang Ye as his younger brother without knowing it.

She didn't expect that her brother, who was always shrewd, would do such a stupid thing.

Yang Ye couldn't explain it for the time being, so he could only pretend to be stupid.

Who would have thought that if he could successfully remake the movie "Shaolin Temple", it would become a global sensation?

The split between Hong Kong and Nanyang is nothing, Yang Ye doesn’t care at all!

"Sister Meng, our company will open in two days. Who do you think we will invite to the ceremony?"

Yang Ye has a sweet mouth, and talks to Xia Meng like Sister Meng every day, which makes Dame Xia's heart burst into laughter. She really regards him as her brother, and considers Yang Ye in everything she does.

Xia Mengmeng thought for a while and said: "Over at Jiahe, Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang and others must be invited. Over at Mingbao, please send invitations to Jin Yong and Pan Yuesheng."

Yang Ye asked knowingly; "Will Mr. Jin Yong come?"

Xia Meng said casually: "The "Kunlun" you are currently serializing is so popular that it has increased the sales of "Ming Pao" a lot. He will definitely give you face."

Yang Ye smiled secretly, he must give you face.While filling in his name on the invitation, he asked, "What else?"

Xia Mengmeng thought for a while: "Yuan Heping, Cai Lan should also send invitations."

Yang Ye quickly filled in the names, and the two of them talked and wrote, and quickly drew up a list.

Yang Ye discovered that Xia Meng had not invited any of her friends in the film industry, not even Shi Hui and Chen Sisi from the "Three Princesses of the Great Wall" who were equally famous with her. He couldn't help but curiously asked: "Don't you invite your friends over? ?”

Xia Meng shook his head and said: "They are all left-wing film professionals. Associating with them will not be good for your development in Hong Kong. From now on, when I work as a producer for you, I will not use the stage name Xia Meng when signing my name. I will use my His real name is Yang Meng."

Yang Ye was quite touched by these words. It seemed that this sister really thought about herself.

In fact, when Yang Ye decided to invite Xia Meng to come out, he considered whether Xia Meng would lead him to the left-wing route.

Facts have proved that his worries were unnecessary. Xia Meng did not do this. Instead, he completely considered the development of the company and even concealed the stage name that had been with him for many years.

The reason may be that what happened in the mainland in recent years has made her feel weak.

That's fine, anyway, Yang Ye doesn't plan to have any contact with the mainland for a while.

……

"It's time for work!"

Hong Jingbao greeted and everyone started to pack their things.

Yuan Biao jumped over, hooked up with Hong Jingbao and said, "Boss, let's cook a fire together tonight."

Hong Jingbao smiled and said, "Okay, call the junior sisters and the others."

While the two were chatting, a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old walked into the set, ran to Hong Jingbao, handed him an invitation, and said: "Master Hong, our boss invites you to attend the opening ceremony of our company."

Hong Jingbao smiled and said, "Hey, there's wine to drink." He took the invitation and looked at it, and was stunned.

Yuan Biao came over and asked, "Who is it?"

Hong Jingbao glanced at the invitation and said, "Yang Ye's Baiyang Pictures is opening, and we, the Seven Little Fortunes, are invited to attend the opening ceremony together."

Yuan Biao took a look at the invitation and saw that it was true.

In fact, this invitation is not for Hong Jingbao personally. It states that the person invited is the "Seven Little Blessings". From Hong Jingbao to Yuan Qiu, there are fourteen names, not one is missed.Yuan Biao asked: "Is this Yang Ye the one who sang "Under the Lion Rock"?"

Hong Jingbao nodded and said: "Who else could he be? Mr. Zou asked him to set up his own film company and invested 200 million for him to make a movie."

"Two million? What kind of movie costs so much?" Yuan Biao was shocked. The movie they are shooting now costs less than 200.

Hong Jingbao patted his junior brother on the shoulder and said with a smile: "He is very famous."

"Then shall we go?"

"Of course we will go. Why don't we go when they invite us? At least we can have a good meal. You go and call the brothers, and we will all go together then."

The martial arts master Longhu was having a hard time, and it was rare to find a place to eat, so he would be a fool not to go.

"But Yuan Lou is not here."

"Yes, he went to Australia." Hong Jingbao scratched his head and said to the young man who sent the invitation: "Brother, one of our Seven Little Fortunes is missing. Now there are only thirteen people."

Yuan Lou is Chen Long, who later became world-famous. Because he was not doing well, he recently went to Australia to move bricks.

The young man was quite eye-catching and said: "It doesn't matter, you can just go directly when the time comes. I will explain the situation to Young Master Yang."

Hong Jingbao patted him on the shoulder and said kindly: "What's your little brother's name? You're hanging out with Boss Yang at such a young age."

Hong Jingbao was tall and fat, and the young man's shoulder hurt when he slapped him. The young man grinned and said, "My name is Du Qifeng. I am just an errand boy in the company."

This young man was Du Dapao, the great director who later became famous, and he made many popular gangster movies.

I call him Cannon because he is very good at swearing. He often roars on the set and scolds people bloody. Even a superstar like Liu Dehua is no exception.

Du Qifeng was born in Kowloon Walled City and started working as a handyman at the age of 17.

Of course, Yang Ye knew that there was such a number one person. Everyone was born in Kowloon Walled City. In the spirit of taking care of the neighbors, Yang Ye opened the film company and called Du Qifeng to help.

It’s all chores anyway. It’s better to do chores for others than for me!

Having said that, this small walled city is truly a crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and now there is a future "Jade Girl Leader" living in it.

……

Hong Jingbao came with the "Seven Little Fortunes" to celebrate the opening of Yang Ye's company.

As soon as I arrived at the venue, I was surprised by the array of activities at the scene. The dragon and lion dances were very lively, but there were actually dozens of media coming to interview.

"This boss Yang acts in such a high-profile manner!"

Hong Jingbao muttered and led his junior brothers and sisters to greet Yang Ye and Xia Meng who were welcoming guests at the door.

Yuan Biao and Yuan Kui each held a flower basket.

"Boss Yang, Ms. Xia, happy opening, congratulations on getting rich!"

Hong Jingbao led a group of junior brothers and sisters to congratulate Yang Ye and Xia Meng in a noisy manner.

Yang Ye said with a spring breeze on his face: "Brother Sanmao, and everyone, welcome, please go in and have tea first."

A group of people walked into the hotel and occupied two tables. Yuan Biao cracked melon seeds and asked, "Boss, do you know this Boss Yang?"

Hong Jingbao is still just a minor figure, serving as a martial arts instructor in some street movies.

Yang Ye said "Brother Sanmao" in front of his junior brothers, which made him feel bright, and said with a smile: "I don't know him, he may have seen the movie I made."

At this time, Yang Ye and Xia Meng led an elderly man with a shiny forehead in with smiles on their faces. Du Qifeng and Gao Laoming followed them, carrying a plaque with the words "Baiyang Pictures" written on it. Big letters.

Yuan Biao said with an envious look on his face: "I'm sorry, Jin Yong came and even inscribed the plaque himself. This Yang Ye is so respectable!"

Hong Jingbao knew some of the gossip and said with a teasing look on his face: "I'm afraid that Miss Xia has some face."
