Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Huang Xizhao said in surprise: "Young Master Yang wants to enter the television industry?"

Yang Ye smiled and said: "Have I not already entered the field? Last year I cooperated with Qiong Yao and made a film called "Misty Rain", but I beat you to a pulp."

Huang Xizhao immediately thought of the fear of being dominated by "Misty Rain". At that time, Jiashi had just closed down. Huang Xizhao had recruited a lot of talents, and he was very ambitious and ready to do something big.

Unexpectedly, TVB suddenly released a movie called "Misty Rain", which instantly robbed the audience.To this day, Wireless still replays "In the Rain" from time to time.

This thing gets huge ratings every time it is replayed. Who can I ask to reason?
However, Huang Xizhao is indeed a talent. In 1975, he became the first Chinese general manager in the history of Lishi, and then began drastic reforms.

He boldly hired new talents and discovered a group of young and powerful production talents, such as McDonald's, Li Zhaoxiong, and Tu Yongxiong, known as the "Beautiful Three Heroes", "screenwriting masters" Xiao Ruoyuan, Xu Xiaoming, etc.

During the Huang Xizhao period, LiTV invented the formula of using long-form dramas to create variety shows. In 1978, LiTV produced "Crocodile Tears", which specialized in TVB's famous variety show "Happy Tonight", and won the "Happy Tonight" series. Defeated.

In 1979, LiTV launched "The Transformation of the Silkworm", which destroyed all TVB's unit dramas. In a short period of time, all the big-name TVB stars Cheng Shaoqiu, Zhao Yazhi, Wang Mingquan, etc. were gathered together to shoot "Chen Liuxiang" to challenge the competition and regain the lost ground.

In 1980, the "Emerald Theater" series written and directed by Xu Xiaoming and others was used to broadcast the wireless "Emerald Theater", which caused the "Emerald Theater" to close down. Since then, there has been no Emerald Theater. The long drama "Turn Around" starring Zheng Shaoqiu and Zheng Yuling has also After being beaten to the waist, I could only use Xie Xian's "King of Thousand Kings" to fight back...

In 1981, TVB's "Dragon and Tiger" was once again beaten in half. Under the attack of Li's overwhelmingly powerful long-form drama, TVB had been beaten without the ability to fight back.

If LiTV persisted for a few more years, it might be able to change the situation of wireless being the only one company. Unfortunately, LiTV's parent company failed to invest and sold LiTV to an Australian consortium.

After the Australian consortium took over Lishi, they made a show of manipulation and Huang Xizhao resigned. His subordinates, including McDonald, Siu Ruoyuan and Huang Tailai, also resigned and left.

And now, the time when Yang Ye meets Huang Xizhao for tea is when Lishi's "The Transformation of the Silkworm" is getting rave reviews, which not only forces TVB to cut "Turn" in half, but also resorts to various means to pry away Yun Feiyang's starring actor Xu Shaoqiang.

However, although Wireless's tactics were dirty, they could not stop Lishi. Lishi hired Ye Tianxing, who was similar in stature to Xu Shaoqiang, to wear a mask and take over the role temporarily.

The reason is that Yun Feiyang has an unspeakable secret and cannot show his true colors to others, so he added some supporting roles as a delaying strategy.

Later, Lishi simply revised the script so that Yun Feiyang would be reborn as a result of practicing the "Celestial Silkworm Magic" and change his appearance. They also found a niche student, Gu Guanzhong, to play Yun Feiyang.

Seeing that playing dirty tricks had little effect, TVB had no choice but to take a hard-on approach. It immediately summoned Zheng Shaoqiu, Wu Mengda, Wang Mingquan, Huang Xingxiu, Li Siqi and others, and asked Wang Tianlin to serve as the producer to start filming "Chu Liuxiang".

Well, there is no Zhao Yazhi in this version of "Chu Liuxiang". She is breastfeeding her child at home.

The power of Gu Long cannot be compared to the original martial arts dramas created by the screenwriters of LiTV.

As soon as "Chu Liuxiang" was broadcast, it immediately triggered a viewing frenzy. It is probably the most popular TV series since the opening of Hong Kong.

Cheng Shaoqiu's Chu Liuxiang and Lin Qingxia's Dongfang Invincible are both so successful that they directly subvert the original work.

After they finished their performances, the image of Chu Liuxiang and Dongfang Bubai in people's minds was finalized, and the original works were put aside.

The difference is: Jin Yong was very unhappy and said to Xu Ke: "Our friend will continue to do it, but the copyright will not be sold to you."

And what about Gu Long?Gu Long was also very unhappy. He sighed: "The world only knows Zheng Shaoqiu, but not Gu Long."

However, Gu Long chose... to join if he couldn't beat him.

He directly changed Chu Liuxiang to look like Zheng Shaoqiu in the novel.

In the Chu Liuxiang novel series, the image of Chu Liuxiang before and after is different. At the beginning, Chu Liuxiang was a big man with bronze skin, and later he became Zheng Shaoqiu.

Huang Xizhao said strangely: "I am just the general manager of Lishi. If you want to acquire Lishi, Mr. Yang, you should approach the shareholders of the company, right?"

Yang Ye said: "Of course, it's just that Lishi has too many shareholders and the relationships are complicated. I need to know their situation in detail. I think no one knows the ropes better than you, General Manager Huang."

Huang Xizhao suddenly realized that this was what happened.

If this is the case, Yang Ye did not find the wrong person when he was looking for him.

Huang Xizhao thought for a while and said: "Young Master Yang, you are a genius in the film industry. In terms of TV dramas, you have tried your best with "Small and Rain" and it has become a sensation in Hong Kong and Taiwan. I admire you very much. If I can work with you It is my honor to work together. However, Lishi is now prosperous, and I am afraid that the parent company Lishi will not be willing to sell Lishi."

Yang Ye said: "They will be willing. You have also seen the People's Liberation Army's war in Vietnam. It was devastating and shocked the whole world! Hong Kong's lease term is coming soon, and the mainland will definitely take back Hong Kong on time. If Li's voice is sensible, he should take the money and leave as soon as possible. .”

Huang Xijing understood. It turned out that Yang Ye had this idea. He said: "This is just your guess. How do you know it will definitely happen? If the result is different from what you expected, wouldn't your work be in vain? ?”

Yang Ye said: "Is there anything in this world that is [-]% certain? I'm just preparing for a rainy day. I don't plan to acquire the shares of Li's Voice now. My target... is just those scattered small shareholders.

To tell you the truth, I now own a film company, a record company, an artist management company, and a movie theater chain. For my entertainment career, the TV station is the last piece of territory and it is inevitable.

But I don’t want to take advantage of those messy people, so I plan to win over those small shareholders in advance. As for the shares in Li’s voice, I can just wait for the situation to change. As long as my bid is high enough, they have no reason not to sell. Give me. "

Although Yang Ye's words were simple, Huang Xizhao saw Yang Ye's ambition, which was to build an entertainment empire.

Huang Xizhao smiled and said: "Young Master Yang, if you tell me your business plan, aren't you afraid that I will leak it?"

Yang Ye shook his head and said solemnly: "You won't. Although you are the general manager of Lishi, the British will not treat you as one of their own. Only when I take over Lishi can you be like a fish in water."

Huang Xizhao didn't answer and took a sip of tea.The British did not regard him as one of their own, but he recognized it.But when Yang Ye became the owner of Lishi, he was like a fish in water...

Yang Ye smiled and stretched out a palm: "I can promise you that once I successfully acquire Lishi, I will give you 5% of the shares."

Huang Xizhao was a little moved by these words. In Hong Kong in this era, wage earners were just wage earners.Divide shares?I want to eat shit!
No matter how much you earn, it all belongs to the boss. If he gives you a bonus at most, it means the boss is kind-hearted.

Huang Xizhao raised his teacup and said, "I am very much looking forward to the entertainment empire that Mr. Yang wants to build!"

Huang Xizhao agreed to get on the bus. Yang Ye was very happy and called the waiter to come in and order food. The two chatted while eating.

In fact, if Yang Ye is patient, it would be most convenient and cost-effective to wait two or three years until Lishi is turned into a mess by the Australian consortium before acquiring it.

But... Yang Ye didn't want to do this.

Nowadays, Lishi is full of talents and strong generals. It is a time of prosperity. The whole team is full of energy. This spirit is the most important.

At this time, taking over Lishi, he was able to suppress Wireless in one go.

So, it doesn’t matter if you spend more money, you can just earn it back.

If, like Qiu Degen of the original time and space, he waited until 1982 to acquire a company with withered talents, then Yang Ye would have to spend countless efforts on Lishi's re-emergence, which would simply be more gain than loss.

Yang Ye and Huang Xizhao enjoyed the meal, and the result of the discussion was that Huang Xizhao came forward to invite the small shareholders out and defeat them one by one.

The current Lishi is worth about 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars, and Yang Ye has prepared [-] million Hong Kong dollars to complete this acquisition, which is enough.

Three years later, Qiu Degen took over Lishi, also spending [-] million.Of course, accounting for inflation, he spent less.

Huang Xizhao thought that Yang Ye might have to wait several years to become the owner of Lishi, but in fact he didn’t need to!
Because by March 1981, Li's Voice would transfer 3% of its shares to an Australian consortium due to the failure of its investment in Canada.Yang Ye didn't even need to wait until 61. He just had to take action immediately when Li's voice investment failed in 1981 and he was ready to sell the Asian business.

If everything goes smoothly and everything is calculated, Lishi will be Yang Ye's after just one more year of waiting.

……

The bar encounter scene was shot tonight. This scene was very important. To facilitate filming, the crew set up a bar directly on the set.

Yang Ye didn't get much rest during the day, so he went to talk to Huang Xizhao about something, and then returned to the company to handle some work.

I was so sleepy when I returned to the set that night that I took a nap on a sofa in the lounge before filming started.

When he woke up, he found that he was covered with clothes. When he turned around, Lin Qingxia was looking at him lovingly.

Yang Ye smiled, stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms, scratched the tip of her straight nose, and said with a smile: "Are you peeking at me?"

Lin Qingxia giggled and said: "You want a hero to save the beauty tonight!"

Yang Ye hugged her tighter and said, "Yes, the beauty Qingxia who saved me."

The two were affectionate for a while, and Lin Qingxia said with concern: "I found that you are very tired recently. You often run away as soon as you get off work, and you always take a nap on the set."

Recently, the two were filming together. Sometimes Lin Qingxia wanted to have dinner with Yang Ye after work, but Yang Ye ran away, which made her very dissatisfied.

Naturally, Yang Ye couldn't tell her that I've been busy being a baby daddy recently!
He found a reason and said: "I am planning to buy Lishi. I have been meeting Lishi's shareholders recently to discuss the acquisition with them."

Lin Qingxia said in surprise: "You want to buy a TV station?"

Yang Ye nodded and said: "Artist management is a very good business, but if you want to make this business bigger, you must provide enough resources for artists. It is not enough to have a film company and a record company; you must also have A TV station will do. But there’s nothing new about this matter yet, so don’t talk about it outside yet.”

Lin Qingxia was very happy that Yang Ye told her this and quickly said: "I know."

How did she know that Yang Ye couldn't tell her that he had been busy taking care of the baby recently, so he told her about it to save her from asking again.

"Go to the dressing room!"

Yang Ye, Lin Qingxia, and Cheng Kui'an were putting on makeup in the dressing room, and there was a "dong dong dong" noise outside.

Yang Ye curled his lips and said, "They are so excited!"

Lin Qingxia smiled and said: "You set up a bar here, how can they not have fun!"

Yang Ye said: "I originally wanted to rent a bar for filming, but this scene may take several days to shoot, and the rent is not cheap. Then I thought I might as well build one myself, and I can do whatever I want."

Lin Qingxia said: "That's right, so as not to break other people's things and have to pay for it."

The three of them put on their makeup and walked into the makeshift bar. Oh my god, the lights were flickering on and off, and a group of ghosts and ghosts were flying in the middle of the dance floor.

Yang Ye vaguely saw many acquaintances, and upon closer inspection, there were actually many artists from the agency.

There was also someone from the company next door. A short man less than 1.5 meters tall was playing DJs on the stage. He turned out to be Teddy Robin.

Yang Ye was stunned. What was going on?
Hong Jingbao ran out of nowhere and said, "I don't know who spread the news that we were having a party, so everyone came."

"Didn't you tell them we were looking for extras?"

"They said it's okay to be an extra."

"Then I won't pay you!"

"They don't want money!"

"That's it. Turn off the music first and say a few words."

Hong Jingbao gestured to Teddy Robin and turned off the music there. Yang Ye walked onto the stage and complained with a microphone: "I don't know who started the rumor, but since everyone is here, then... Get high!"

"Oh oh oh!"

"Hi, hi, hi, my scene still needs to be filmed. Let's help each other later and finish the scene. After the filming is over, I will have fun with everyone!"

"no problem!"

"Also, if you can't shoot well today, you have to come back tomorrow, at least for three days!"

……

This scene is the first official encounter between Li Kai, Yang Lisa and the Terminator, and it is very important.

Cheng Kui'an took out a Colt automatic pistol equipped with a laser pointer and pointed it at Lin Qingxia's eyebrows. Lin Qingxia suddenly showed a horrified expression.

At this moment, Yang Ye made a brilliant appearance, lifted his cloak, and pointed the shotgun at Cheng Kui'an, "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With each blast, Cheng Kui'an took a step back and fired five shots in a row, causing the Terminator to fall to the ground.

Of course, the gun couldn't kill him. He immediately got up, took out his submachine gun and fired randomly. The two sides had a wonderful gun battle.

Cameron's arrangement of this shootout can only be said to be average, and it is even less interesting than John Woo.

Therefore, Yang Ye did not completely follow Cameron's shots, but instead borrowed a lot of John Woo's shots.

Li Kai, played by Yang Ye, looked domineering and cool. He jumped into the air with a shotgun and fired in the air. The post-editing had to be slowed down...

All in all, Zhou Runfa's performance has been completed.

John Woo is still a comedian. I wonder how he will feel after seeing this "Terminator".

Although Yang Ye's posture was very attractive, it was of no use because he couldn't kill the Terminator with a gun, so he immediately got up again.

As the saying goes, one operation is as fierce as a tiger, and the damage is [-] at a glance.

Yang Ye emptied the magazine, pulled up Lin Qingxia, and said to her: "If you want to live, come with me!"

Then, he took the beauty and ran away! (End of chapter)
