Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 228 Film Exchange Meeting

Kadokawa Haruki said jokingly: "Yang Sang, do you think the Japanese don't like you anymore, so you want to break the rules?"

Yang Ye shook his head and said seriously: "What I want to tell is the story of Taiwan's aboriginal people resisting the Japanese invasion fifty years ago. That is a forgotten history, but it deserves to be remembered!"

Kadokawa Haruki is a very knowledgeable guy. He said, "Are you talking about... the Wushe Incident?"

Yang Ye nodded and said, "That's right!"

"I see! Can I read the script first?"

"of course can!"

Kadokawa Haruki spent two days carefully reading Yang Ye's script and invited Yang Ye to have a long talk.

"Yang Sang, before reading this script, I was very curious about how you, as a Han Chinese, would stand on this war between the Yamato and Seediq tribes.

After reading the script, I was convinced. You are very calm and have no emotions. You have not denied the civilization that the Japanese have brought to the Seediqs, nor the pain that the Japanese have brought to the Seediqs.

You have not denied the Seediqs' unyielding character, nor have you denied the Seediqs' barbarism.

You are a narrator, not a moral judge.

I'm convinced! I think it's going to be a very clever movie. "

Yang Ye said: "So have you agreed to let actors from your company participate in this movie?"

"I agree. The role of Genji Kojima is very complex and challenging. I believe Hiroyuki Sanada will be willing to play it. As for other roles, I will also send senior actors to participate."

"Thank you so much, then I wish us a happy cooperation!" Yang Ye raised his glass to Kadokawa Haruki.

……

Yeung Yip has long become the business card of Hong Kong movies, and this time "Terminator" is so well-produced that the visual effects are not inferior to those of Hollywood, making Hong Kong people very proud.

Therefore, the day after the premiere, Hong Kong media and film critics praised "Terminator" to the sky, touting it as a science fiction masterpiece comparable to "Star Wars".

Hong Kong talented girl Yi Shu even praised Yang Ye's butt as the sexiest butt in Hong Kong, with Liu Hua ranking second.

As for Cheng Kui'an...it was too big and she said she didn't like it.

Yang Ye's female fans were so excited that they went to the cinema to see it.

All of a sudden, the ticket booking phone numbers of Baiyang Cinema were overwhelming, and long queues formed at the entrances of major cinemas.

Even if Golden Harvest had "The Killer's Trench" in their hands, they did not dare to confront Yang Ye head-on, so they released a funny kung fu film "Salted Fish Stand" directed by Mai Jia and starring Hong Jingbao.

Shaw Brothers released the crime thriller "The Savior."

Great Wall Film Company also joined the team battle and released "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch". The film was shot in Huangshan Mountain. The beautiful scenery added a lot to the film, and the final box office was 200 million.

After the movement subsided, Great Wall Company was slowly recovering.

But in front of Yang Ye, these movies are just like idiots. The three films combined had a box office of less than 8 million, and were crushed by Yang Ye's "Terminator".

The box office of "Terminator" reached 320 million on its first day, exceeding the total box office of any of the three movies.

Suddenly, Hong Kong citizens gathered with their friends and happily went to the theater to see Yang Ye's butt. It became fashionable and made Yang Ye dumbfounded.

Hu Jinquan's preliminary work was ready. Yang Ye and Lin Qingxia only ran a roadshow for three days this time before setting off to the mainland to film "Sword Rain".

Due to time constraints, Yang Ye directly canceled the promotional activities for the new album of China Dragons in Japan.

I originally wanted Chen Long and Yuan Biao to make a trip, but after thinking about it, I decided not to go. They both went and I didn’t go. Wouldn’t that make me look cowardly?

Just don't go and go naked!

So in early August, the Chinese Dragon Team's first singing and dancing album "Qi Mian Wu Ta Hui" was divided into three language versions: Chinese, Japanese and Cantonese, and was released throughout the Asia-Pacific region.

The three lead singers were in hiding and did not participate in promotional activities.

However, Yang Ye promised H Club to go to Japan to hold two concerts at the end of the year.

To put it bluntly, the album "Yumian Dance Club" was deliberately created by Yang Ye to test the reaction of the Japanese market.

He doesn't care whether he makes money or not.

……

Yang Ye, Li Zhengyang, Qian Shenyong, and Lin Qingxia all appeared at the Capital Airport carrying various large and small bags.

The luggage was piled up to several people's height. Lin Qingxia couldn't help complaining: "My mother asked me to bring enough things, why do you bring so much?"

Yang Ye said helplessly: "I want to see the second sister. Sister Meng asked me to take this."

"Which second sister?"

"Sister Meng's sister, Yang Jie."

Lin Qingxia said: "Oh, that's what I should bring."

Yang Ye couldn't help but complain: "Brother-in-law, why did you buy so much? We still expect you to get things for us."

Qian Shenyong said with some embarrassment: "There are too many good things in Hong Kong, so I just wanted to buy some for my family."

Lin Qingxia had met Qian Shenyong in Hong Kong a long time ago, and had dinner together twice, and now they are relatively familiar with him.

Qian Shenyong was gentle and knowledgeable. Lin Qingxia had a good impression of this brother-in-law. When she heard this, she smiled and said: "Brother-in-law wishes he could move the whole of Hong Kong back to my sister and children."

The group walked out of the airport laughing and talking, and saw someone holding a sign with Yang Ye's name written on it.

Yang Ye and others hurriedly pushed their luggage and walked over.

A handsome, somewhat chubby man wearing glasses saw Yang Ye coming and shook hands with Yang Ye quickly: "Mr. Yang, welcome back to the motherland!"

Yang Ye had already recognized who he was, but still asked with a confused look on his face: "Who are you?"

"I, Xie Tieli, am a director. I was entrusted by Xia Yan, chairman of the Filmmakers Association, to pick me up at the airport."

"Chairman Xia is too polite."

Hu Jinquan had called Yang Ye before. The Filmmakers Association knew that Yang Ye and Lin Qingxia would come to the mainland and hoped that they could attend the third Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony and communicate with mainland filmmakers.

Yang Ye agreed on his own, but refused on behalf of Lin Qingxia.

At the same time, he also made a request. He hoped that his name would not appear in news reports, and the Film Association agreed to this request.

The organization is very strict these days, and no reporter dares to mess around.

Xie Tieli asked the two young men who were following him to pick up the plane to help carry his luggage, which was much more convenient now.

Since it was already very late, Xie Tieli took Yang Ye and others back to the hotel and said goodbye.

Yang Ye took a bath and said to Lin Qingxia: "I'm dragged here and can't leave for the time being. You go to Xuchang with your brother-in-law tomorrow!"

Lin Qingxia asked: "How long do you want to stay here?" Yang Ye shook his head: "I don't know. After participating in the Hundred Flowers Award, there will be exchanges, speeches, etc., and I have to see the second sister. It will take about a week. !”

Lin Qingxia said: "That's good. I'll go see my sister first, and then go to the Northeast with her to see my uncle and aunt. One week should be enough."

Yang Ye said: "Don't worry, the crew will arrive in ten days. Let's meet in the capital in ten days!"

"I really want you to go with me!"

"When your sister goes to Hong Kong, there will be many opportunities to get together in the future."

……

It is said that this is the third Hundred Flowers Award, but in fact it has been seventeen years since the second one.

Once it was opened up, everything was ready for improvement. People across the country were very interested in reopening the "Hundred Flowers Award" and sent out nearly two million votes in one go.

This is probably the fairest and most prestigious Hundred Flowers Awards ever.

Since 1981, the Golden Rooster Award has been separated from the Hundred Flowers Award, and the Hundred Flowers Award itself has been in decline.

Since the Golden Rooster Award has not yet been separated, the awards for this Hundred Flowers Award are very complete.

From best movie to best director, leading actor and actress, screenwriter, photography, music, art, everything is chosen, all voted by the people.

Yang Ye was just a spectator, sitting in the audience and clapping his hands.

It's still too early now, and many of the well-known stars of later generations have not yet made their debut.

However, Yang Ye still saw some familiar faces, such as... Chen Peisi, who had jet black hair, and Tang Guoqiang, the cream boy.

"We invite international superstar, Oscar Best Director, Palme d'Or winner, Taiwan Golden Horse Award Best Actor, Mr. Yang Ye to announce the list of Hundred Flowers Award Best Actress."

When such a long list of titles was read out, the audience suddenly exclaimed.

Yang Ye has a black hair, so awards are given. Why read such a long list of titles?

He walked quickly onto the stage, took the list, and said under the microphone: "The winner of the Best Actress of the Third China Film Hundred Flowers Award is... the actor who played Xiaohua in the movie "Little Flower", Chen Chong, congratulations!"

When Chen Chong heard his name, he walked onto the stage excitedly, took the enamel porcelain trophy from Yang Ye's hand, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yang!"

Yang Ye took a moment to look at the nineteen-year-old Chen Chong. He was so plump and plump that he could rush!

Mainland actresses in this era need to be square and round, have a happy look on their face, and have an approachable smile. The awl face is now called the fox face, and it is basically impossible to get ahead as an actor.

But Yang Ye didn't want to quarrel with Chen Chong, because Chen Chong had enriched the United States very early. This resulted in Yang Ye not having watched many of Chen Chong's movies, so he had no impression of her.

Yang Ye was usually only interested in the female stars he had lusted after when he was a boy.

The award ceremony ended soon. Xia Yan, chairman of the Filmmakers Association, personally invited Yang Ye to attend the banquet, but Yang Ye declined.

During the banquet, Xia Yan personally toasted: "A few months ago, Director Hu Jinquan came to Beijing, and I had a great chat with him. Director Hu said that Mr. Yang is the leading film director and actor in the world today. When we meet him today, he is so young. What a terrible future!"

Yang Ye didn't dare to neglect, so he started chatting with the old man. Xia Yan was eighty years old and lacked energy. He chatted with Yang Ye for a few words and then left.

Before leaving, Yang Ye was invited to attend tomorrow's symposium, and Yang Ran happily agreed.

Xia Yan's prestige was too high, so everyone was more restrained when he was there. Once he left, the atmosphere gradually became more lively.

Some people began to make friends, toast each other and pass cigarettes, and some people took the opportunity to make relationships. Suddenly, the banquet hall became filled with smoke and quite noisy.

Yang Ye was too lazy to stay any longer, so he said something to Xie Tieli, who was accompanying him, and left.

Upon seeing this, Xie Tieli personally sent him back to the hotel.

……

Early the next morning, Xie Tieli came again and led Yang Ye to the Filmmakers Association. Today's trip was to attend some exchange meeting.

Yang Ye had promised this before, so he was already prepared.

When Hu Jinquan came here before, he also participated in this exchange meeting.

As soon as they arrived at the place, there were more than ten people waiting at the door to greet them. The battle was so big that Yang Ye was a little flattered.

"Director Yang, you are welcome to guide the work!"

A tall, round old man took the lead in shaking hands with Yang Ye.

Xie Tieli introduced: "This is Wang Yang, the director of Beijing Film Studio."

Yang Ye casually searched for Wang Yang's information. He was not just an ordinary guy. He had been the director of Beijing Film Studio for thirty-five years and built Beijing Film Studio from scratch into the country's leading studio. Today, many directors of film studios in various places are his disciples.

Yang Ye said humbly: "Director Wang, you're too polite. I can't talk about guidance. We are all colleagues. Let's communicate with each other."

Afterwards, Xie Tieli began to introduce them one by one, including the leaders of each factory, as well as professors from Beijing Film Academy and China National Theater, as well as some directors and actors.

Chen Chong, who won Best Actress yesterday, and Liu Xiaoqing, who won Best Supporting Actor, were also there.

After entering the venue, an official spoke first. This gentleman kept talking for a long time until Yang Ye almost fell asleep.

Next, the screening of the movie "Terminator" brought by Yang Ye began.

Yang Ye took the stage first and introduced: "I have directed seven or eight movies. This "Terminator" was just released in Hong Kong. It is a science fiction film. As for science fiction films, our colleagues in the mainland are also making them, such as the first part At that time, Shanghai Film Studio filmed a film called "Death Light on Coral Island." Our film "Terminator" used some cutting-edge technologies, so we brought this film over to share with you."

"Death Light on Coral Island" is a very popular movie in the mainland recently. Every time this film is shown in the auditorium, the aunts in the work unit will rush to tell them: "Death Light on Coral Island" will be screened tonight!

I heard that it was a science fiction film, and everyone was very interested. When the movie started to show, and saw the science fiction-like airplanes and robots searching for traces of humans in the ruined city, everyone was dumbfounded.

They have all seen "Death Light on Coral Island", but compared to the current "Terminator", that thing seems to be twenty years behind.

After the subtitles were finished, the Terminator and Li Kai began to go online. The scene where the buttocks were exposed was cut off a little by Yang Ye to prevent it from being unacceptable to the mainland colleagues.

This does not affect the plot. Next, there are brutal killings, crazy car chases, and violent explosions. Every scene makes people sweat nervously.

When the metal Terminator with its human skin burned appeared from the fire, everyone held their breath...

The final battle between Yang Ye and the Terminator was extremely brutal with sparks flying everywhere.

Have these mainland filmmakers ever seen this before? They were all involved in the plot, sweating for the protagonist.

At the end, the Terminator was finally crushed by the hydraulic press, and many people breathed a sigh of relief.

In addition to the cool battle scenes, the plot of the movie is worth pondering.

The earth will be reduced to ruins, and the future human leader will send a soldier to protect his mother and prevent the Terminator from pursuing her.

As a result, the mother of the human leader had a relationship with this warrior, and then gave birth to the future human leader.

The logic of this plot is shocking, and it is simply more exciting than the killings, car chases, and explosions in the movie.

When the final subtitles appeared on the big screen, everyone present spontaneously applauded enthusiastically.
