Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

McDonald finally figured it out. Yang Ye planned to use his own reputation to invite so many big names in the film industry to come and play guest roles in a TV series. This would cost a lot of money!

In this case, McDonald simply said: "Young Master Yang, since you have invited so many big names to guest star in "Dragon Movie", how about you also play a guest role yourself?"

Yang Ye was stunned: "Me?"

When Xiao Sheng heard this, he thought, Damn it, McDonald's move was a stroke of genius. He quickly helped: "Yes, this guest cast is too strong. If you don't come, we won't be able to suppress it. If you even come to guest star in person, the others will have nothing to say."

Yang Ye thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's not impossible, then... I'll make a guest appearance as the young version of Wu Yazi! A Yuan, you can add a scene in the script where Xiaoyao and the three elders practiced martial arts together when they were young. How about It only takes a few minutes. I will... find Lin Qingxia and Zhao Yazhi to guest star in this scene together."

"it is good!"

"Clap clap clap clap!"

Everyone applauded warmly. Mr. Yang was so proud that Lin Qingxia and Zhao Ya were always on call.

Yang Ye looked at the proposed list of protagonists again.

Not to mention Leslie Cheung as Duan Yu and Chen Yulian as Wang Yuyan.

Michelle plays A'Zhu. A'Zhu's character is lively, cute, eccentric, considerate, and smart, which fits Michelle's image.

Moreover, A'Zhu is Xiao Feng's official partner and can be regarded as a heroine, which is also in line with Michelle's status.

The production team gave this role to Michelle, which can be said to be very suitable.

"Dragon" is Yang Ye's first major drama after joining ATV, and the whole Taiwan must be involved.

In Yang Ye's conception, the four major actresses after he took over ATV were Michelle, Zhao Yazhi, Chen Yulian, and Chen Xiuwen.

Zhao Yazhi is still taking care of her children at home. Compared with filming, Yang Ritian is more important.

This time, she was asked to make a cameo appearance for a few minutes as the adult Tianshan Tonglao in "Dragon Movie", which is considered a show of her face. She will have to wait until next year at least for her real comeback.

So in this version of Tian Long Ba Bu, the other three major actresses will take the lead.

Michelle played A'Zhu, Chen Yulian played Wang Yuyan, and another important role, Mu Wanqing, went to Chen Xiuwen.

Mi Xue became famous in Hong Kong four years ago with her role as Huang Rong. Chen Yulian is Yang Ye's royal supporter. They played the heroine, and everyone was speechless.

And Chen Xiuwen is a newcomer who only joined Lishi last year, so letting her play Mu Wan's liquidation is a promotion.

In TVB's popular TV series "Mu Guiying Breaks the Heavenly Gate" in the 90s, Chen Xiuwen starred as Mu Guiying, with a heroic appearance and a very good performance.

Although she is still a newcomer, she can still play Mu Wanqing easily.

On the contrary, Yu Anan, who was already famous in ATV, only got one Azi.

In fact, Azi has the most scenes among all the female characters in Tianlong, but her character is too vicious and not very likable.

As for the production team asking Li Saifeng to play Zhong Ling, it was a complete surprise.

Yang Ye will not let Li Saifeng stay on the TV station for too long. She should make movies and act in kung fu movies!

The female characters are all okay, but the most important male protagonist, Xiao Feng, has been delayed in being finalized.

The leading male star of ATV now is Pan Zhiwen. He has a more elegant appearance and is not tall enough, so he is not suitable to play Xiao Feng.

Xiao Sheng said: "Actually... there is a suitable candidate, but we terminated his contract some time ago."

Yang Ye asked: "Xu Shaoqiang?"

Xu Shaoqiang's image, acting skills, skills, and reputation are indeed very suitable.

After starring as the hero Yun Feiyang in "The Transformation of the Silkworm" last year, his popularity skyrocketed, and even Yang Ye asked him to play a cameo role in "The Terminator".

Yang Ye did not express an opinion and asked: "What does Producer Mai think?"

McDonald said angrily: "When this guy became famous, he took advantage of Qiao. At first he was passive and sabotaged his work, and then he simply disappeared. I will never cooperate with him again in my life."

Yang Ye nodded and said, "Forget it."

If Xu Shaoqiang had not terminated his contract with Lishi, Yang Ye could have given him another chance.

But after the contract has been terminated, it would be too disrespectful to rush to find him again, and it would also chill the hearts of the people like McDonald's.

Yang Ye thought that the 1982 version of Xiao Feng by Liang Jiaren seemed to be well received, so he asked: "Then what do you think... Liang Jiaren?"

Liang Jiaren has been hanging out with Hong Jingbao, playing supporting roles, and is not famous. When Yang Ye said this name, everyone was stunned for a moment.

McDonald's was relatively familiar with the film industry. He knew Liang Jiayan, so he said, "I think his image is pretty good. I can come over and try it out."

Yang Ye looked at the time and said, "Then let's try it. If it doesn't work, let's talk again."

Yang Ye did not dwell on this matter and continued: "There is another point. In the costume dramas made before by LiTV, TVB and Jiashi, the martial arts movements are too crude and need to be improved. You also know that I started my career in kung fu movies. Yes, if this kind of fighting scene is filmed under my leadership, it will destroy my brand. Therefore, I will send Yuan Kui to be the martial arts director of "Dragon Babu", and everyone will cooperate with him well!"

Yuan Kui is Yang Ye's direct descendant, and all his direct descendants are sent out. In addition, a bunch of movie celebrities were invited to make guest appearances like crazy, and even he appeared in person, which showed how much Yang Ye valued this drama, and everyone became more cautious.

Before he finished, Yang Ye said again: "The martial arts in the novel "Dragon Babu" are relatively fantasy, and traditional martial arts movements cannot be expressed, so... special effects need to be added. The Ziqi Donglai Special Effects Company under my name We will support the special effects production of this film throughout the whole process. Producer Mai, please contact us tomorrow. Don’t worry about the cost. They need film and television dramas for them to practice. Special effects for ATV are all done at a loss. I will personally subsidize the special effects company! "

McDonald was overjoyed and said loudly: "Young Master has such strong support. This time, if I don't hit the wireless phone until I lie on the ground and call me daddy, I, McDonald, will call me a bear!"

Yang Ye was sweating violently, but it didn’t have to be like this!

……

Wang Yuyan and Xiao Longnu are usually played by the same person because their temperaments are relatively similar.

When Jin Yong describes them, they are like fairies, illusory and real, as if shrouded in mist.

In other words...it comes with dry ice effect!

When future generations look at the early stills of Li Ruotong and Chen Yulian, they have a hazy effect, and that feels right.

On the contrary, Liu Yifei's stills are too high-definition and don't feel right.

Yang Ye took Leslie Cheung and Chen Yulian to meet Jin Yong because this was his first time filming a Jin Yong TV series. He wanted to fool him and let the old guy help support the stage!

As for asking Xia Meng to come out and play Wang Yuyan's mother, Yang Ye didn't tell Jin Yong for the time being, for fear that he would die of joy.

Moreover, this matter is still in the bragging stage, and it is hard to say whether it will be successful or not.

Zhang Guorong's appearance and temperament match those of Duan Yu. Chen Yulian is the best little dragon girl in Jin Yong's eyes, and naturally fits Wang Yuyan better. Jin Yong is very satisfied with the two people brought by Yang Ye.

"Dragon" is a masterpiece of Jin Yong's novels, and he still attaches great importance to it. He also asked how this TV series will be adapted?

Yang Ye directly said that Xiao Feng would be taken as the main plot. Regarding this, Jin Yong himself was a screenwriter, so he naturally expressed his approval.

The guests and hosts enjoyed the meal thoroughly. After Jin Yong got in the car and left, they went their separate ways.

Zhang Guorong came with Yang Ye, so Yang Ye had to send him back.

In the car, Yang Ye praised: "You two performed well tonight. Jin Yong is very satisfied. Don't mess up your performance then."

Chen Yulian said nothing, and Zhang Guorong said solemnly: "The role of Duan Yu is too easy for me. I think I can challenge Xiao Feng!"

Yang Yehan came out. Later, there was a man named Zhong Hanliang. He felt that Duan Yu was too easy for him. He wanted to challenge Xiao Feng, but director Lai Shuiqing believed him...

Zhang Guorong suddenly asked: "Young Master Yang, have you heard of my song?"

Yang Ye hummed: "I've heard of it!"

Zhang Guorong said enthusiastically: "Then what do you think of my singing?"

"Just so-so."

Wow, a basin of cold water was poured on Zhang Guorong's head.

Leslie Cheung said unconvinced: "No, I think I can sing very well."

Yang Ye thought for a moment and said, "Your album last year was called "Lover's Arrow," right?"

"Correct!"

"The songs in it are all theme songs of some TV dramas. The songs are not bad, but they are all for TV dramas and they don't fit well with your own voice, so you can only sing like that. And that album It’s pieced together and has no integrity, so naturally no one pays attention to it.”

Zhang Guorong slapped his thigh: "I'll just say it! Then what kind of song do you think I should sing?"

Yang Ye thought for a while and said: "Your vocal range is quite wide, with fifteen degrees. Lin Zixiang also has fifteen degrees, but his fifteenth is higher, and your bass range is better. You should focus on expressing this." part of the sound.”

When Zhang Guorong met a close friend, he asked, "Can you help me write a song?" Yang Ye said, "No!"

"why?"

"You belong to Baoji. If I write a song for you, the Eastern Han Dynasty will kill me!"

"Then I terminate the contract with Bao Ji and join you, Yang Ji, okay?"

Hong Kong people like to call some companies X Kee. For example, PolyGram is called Bao Kee, and McDonald's is called Mak Kee.

Because the boss of Baiyang Company is named Yang, Hong Kong people now generally call him Yang Ji.

Yang Ye smiled and said, "Is it so casual?"

Zhang Guorong said: "I feel that you are my Bole!"

Leslie Cheung's two albums were not able to sell, and now Polydor doesn't care much about him. He later switched jobs to China Star with his mentor Li Xiaotian, and became popular in the music industry after releasing the song "The Wind Keeps Blowing".

Yang Ye wanted to laugh a little. Not only was this guy full of confidence, he was also sweet. He couldn't refuse even if he wanted to!

Yang Ye said: "You can write songs, but you have to wait. I've been busy with too many things recently and can't spare the time to write songs. Can I cover my old songs for you?"

Zhang Guorong shook his head: "Then I won't do it. I have already switched jobs for you, and you still fool me with old songs!"

Yang Ye said: "What if I re-write the lyrics of Yamaguchi Momoe's "The Other Side of Goodbye" and sing it for you?"

"Momoe Yamaguchi! Are you sure?"

"What did I lie to you about?"

Leslie Cheung did not answer, but asked in a very gossipy manner: "Everyone says that Yamaguchi Momoe is in Hong Kong now, is it true?"

"real!"

"Then can I meet her?"

Yang Ye shook his head: "She has already retired. She just wants to live a normal life without seeing outsiders or accepting star chasing."

"Okay!" Zhang Guorong sighed and said, "You must take good care of her!"

Yang Ye thought to himself, is it none of your business? But he still said: "This is natural!"

He paused and then said: "In two days, I will ask Donghan to go to Baoji to help you negotiate the termination of the contract?"

Zhang Guorong said: "No, I will solve it myself. It's not like I can't afford to pay."

capricious!

Yang Ye is convinced!

……

After sending Zhang Guorong home, Yang Ye asked Chen Yulian: "Where do you live?"

Chen Yulian said: "Kowloon Tong, live with my eldest sister!"

After "Swordsman", Chen Yulian gained some popularity, got more work, and had a lot of money.

She used part of the money she earned to pay off her family's debts, and the rest rented an apartment and invited her eldest sister to live with her.

In this way, it is much more convenient to go to work on weekdays, and the two sisters still have someone to look after them.

As the car was driving on the highway, Yang Ye quietly held Chen Yulian's little hand.

Chen Yulian's heart palpitated and she struggled a little, but finally she let him hold her hand obediently.

After arriving at the destination not long after, Yang Ye said: "Shall I take you up?"

Chen Yulian said quickly: "No, my eldest sister is at home."

"If your eldest sister is not at home, will you let me go up?"

"Ah... no!" Chen Yulian was shocked!

"Let's go!"

Yang Ye pulled Chen Yulian out of the car. He put sunglasses on the bridge of his nose for fear of being recognized.

"Which floor is it?"

"8th floor!"

Yang Ye pressed the elevator and soon arrived at the door of the house rented by Chen Yulian. She opened the door with her key and entered the house first.

Chen Yumei was watching TV when she saw her sister coming in and asked, "It's so late for filming today? Have you eaten yet? I'll give you a bowl of noodles!"

Chen Yulian said: "I've eaten!"

At this time, Yang Ye walked in and said hello: "Hello, eldest sister!"

Chen Yumei saw Yang Ye's appearance clearly and said in surprise: "Young Master Yang, why are you here?"

"By the way, take Alian home!"

"Please sit down! Please sit down!"

Yang Ye sat down on the sofa with a smile. Chen Yumei poured him a cup of tea and said, "You guys talk first, I'll wash some fruits!"

Yang Ye looked around. It was a small house, but it was very clean and tidy.

Seeing Chen Yulian standing nearby, he smiled and asked, "Can I visit your boudoir?"

Chen Yulian was stunned, what did he want to do? But since my sister is here, I'm not afraid of him doing anything excessive.

Then she nodded and took Yang Ye into her room.

As soon as the door was closed, Yang Ye pressed Chen Yulian against the door, and there was a bang!

This would be a bad trick in later generations, and it would only make the girl roll her eyes.

However, it was quite novel in this era. Chen Yulian suddenly panicked. Yang Ye pressed the book with one hand and stared affectionately into Chen Yulian's eyes.

The posture is very standard!

"Alian, you like me, right?"

"I... didn't!" Chen Yulian avoided looking into Yang Yangye's eyes.

"Then why don't you resist when I kiss you?"

"I...well..." Before Chen Yulian could think of what to say, she was kissed by Yang Ye again.

The kiss was very long and until Chen Yulian's whole body went limp, Yang Ye stopped and said proudly: "Look, you like me!"

Chen Yulian was about to cry. She said with difficulty: "I have a boyfriend!"

"I know, but I like you and I want to protect you!"

"I'm... not that kind of woman."

"I know you are a good girl! That Ah Fa is a mama's boy, he is not suitable for you!"

“What is a mama’s boy?”

"He is the kind of man who is his mother's good boy. He only has eyes for his mother and has no wife."

Chen Yulian thought to herself, this description is really appropriate.

"No, Fa Zai is very good to me!"

"Actually, you know whether he is suitable for you or not!"

Yang Ye caressed her fair and tender face and said, "Don't lie to yourself!"

Seeing that Chen Yulian was silent, she added: "Don't have any psychological burden. I won't retaliate against you by giving you little shoes or anything just because I can't get you. No matter if you promise me or not, I will always protect you!"

After Yang Ye said this, he let go of Chen Yulian, waved to her and said, "I'm leaving, go to bed early!" (End of Chapter)
