Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

After dinner, Zhang Huaxun took Yang Ye to the auditorium of the local Culture and Tourism Bureau to watch his rough cut of the film.

After watching for a while, Yang Ye suddenly said: "Can you pause for a moment?"

Liu Xiaoqing, who was sitting next to him, asked strangely: "What's wrong?"

"I think I saw a Buddha statue!"

"Buddha statue? What's so strange about that? What we photographed was the Leshan Giant Buddha!"

"The photo was taken from a distance. How can I see the Leshan Giant Buddha? But... I seem to see a bigger Buddha."

"A bigger Buddha?"

Zhang Huaxun said: "Pause!" He personally stepped forward to control the projector and rewind the tape manually.

Yang Ye stared at the screen and said, "Stop, stop, stop, this is the picture!"

The picture was fixed on a wide-angle lens that captured the distant view of the Leshan Giant Buddha. Yang Ye looked at it carefully, pointed at the picture and said: "Look, do these mountains together look like a sleeping Buddha? This is the Buddha's head. This is the Buddha's head." This is the Buddha’s body, these are the Buddha’s feet.”

Everyone in the auditorium was stunned. After Yang Ye pointed it out, they looked more and more alike.

Zhang Huaxun said: "This... is actually true. Wuyou Mountain, Lingyun Mountain and Dongyan are joined together to form a giant Buddha, floating on the Qingyi River. My God, is this man-made or natural? uncanny workmanship?"

Ge Cunzhuang said: "How can such a big mountain be dug manually? It can only be the miraculous workmanship of nature. Mr. Yang, your eyesight is really good. We haven't noticed it in half a year here, but you can see it on the first day you come here." The doorway in it.”

Yang Ye said: "When I drove here today, I saw these mountains in the distance on the Qingyi River. I felt like a Buddha. I wasn't sure at the time. I just watched the video and I immediately thought of it again."

The group of people admired the giant sleeping Buddha on the screen. The more they watched, the more interesting they became. Guan Zhilin suddenly asked: "What is the name of the tower on the big Buddha?"

Yang Ye smiled and said: "That's probably a Buddha bird!"

When everyone took a look, they saw that it was really a statue of a horse, and the position was very correct. The Buddha of emotion was like a pillar holding up the sky!

Zhang Huaxun said: "You guys wait for me, I'll call the people from the Culture and Tourism Bureau."

They were originally borrowing the auditorium of the Bureau of Culture and Tourism, and the director came not long after.

After seeing the giant sleeping Buddha on the screen, the director was stunned from ear to ear.

The director held Yang Ye's hand and said excitedly: "Mr. Yang, you are really discerning! We live here in Leshan, but no one has ever discovered this giant Buddha. I'm really ashamed!"

Yang Ye said: "You see it every day, and you don't find anything strange. Naturally, you don't feel anything strange. I originally came to see the Buddha, and I have a Buddha in my heart. Seeing this giant Buddha at a glance is considered fate!"

"If you have a Buddha in your heart, you will naturally see the Buddha. Mr. Yang, what you said is so good! Since you are the discoverer of this giant Buddha, how about you come and name it?"

Yang Ye laughed and said: "The giant Buddha is lying on the Qingyi River, with his back facing the sky and a well-proportioned body. Why not call it Leshan Sleeping Buddha!"

"Leshan Sleeping Buddha, what a great name!"

The director was a smart man. He quickly found the Four Treasures of the Study and asked Yang Ye to write an inscription.

Yang Ye is an international celebrity. He discovered the sleeping Buddha and inscribed it again. The Buddha is spread from person to person, and the Buddha is spread from person to person, which will definitely double Leshan's reputation. When everyone comes to Leshan to see the Sleeping Buddha, he, the director of culture and tourism, will live a comfortable life!

Yang Ye did not refuse, and wrote the four words "Leshan Sleeping Buddha" with his beautiful face, and also wrote a poem: "The secret treasure is opened and the cloud roots are broken, and the three rivers meet and thousands of horses are running. The light is seen outside Boluoping. , all the peaks list this peak."

As if he had found a treasure, the director said: "Everyone, please take your time and read it. I have to go back and write a report and inform the superiors about the matter." After saying this, he left happily.

After the director left, Yang Ye said: "I suggest that the ending of this movie, the last scene, be fixed on the Leshan Sleeping Buddha."

Zhang Huaxun's eyes lit up and he smiled: "It makes sense!"

In fact, Yang Ye did this not because he wanted to be named as the discoverer of the Sleeping Buddha. There is no money for this thing, so it is of no use.

He wants to make things bigger so that the movie "The Mysterious Buddha" can be released successfully and completely without being hindered by public opinion.

In the original time and space, Zhang Huaxun received a lot of criticism after filming "The Mysterious Buddha", and Zhang Huaxun was suspended from work for a time.

Later, Jin Yong liked "The Mysterious Buddha" so much that he called Zhang Huaxun three times and asked him to come out to film "Book, Sword and Enmity", but Zhang Huaxun refused.

It’s not that I don’t want to take pictures, it’s that I don’t dare to take pictures anymore.

The aftermath of that incident was so great that Zhang Huaxun did not dare to take risks again in the face of overwhelming accusations.

However, such trendy commercial movies are really needed for the mainland in this era!

Due to the criticism received by "The Mysterious Buddha", many domestic filmmakers have become timid. This is an immeasurable loss!

Yang Ye came to Leshan to do his best to change this situation!

Everyone continued to watch the pornographic film, and after finishing the rough cut of Zhang Huaxun, Yang Ye first praised Liu Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing's appearance, performance, and lines are all very brilliant. In today's Hong Kong and Taiwan, excellent actors like you are rare."

Yang Ye is not bragging, Liu Xiaoqing's professional ability is definitely top-notch among Chinese actresses.

In the movie "The Mysterious Buddha", her appearance, style, and figure are also very stunning.

After praising Liu Xiaoqing, Yang Ye added: "Director Zhang, the fighting in your movie is very interesting. It is completely different from the fighting in Hong Kong movies."

Zhang Huaxun said: "This is what we figured out ourselves. We feel that we cannot blindly imitate our Hong Kong counterparts, but should shoot something different. These martial arts fights are included in folk legends and a thrilling and suspenseful atmosphere. It's a practical struggle, not a display." Yang Ye said: "It's very interesting. I hope to buy the overseas distribution rights of this film. Is that possible?"

Zhang Huaxun was overjoyed and said: "It would be an honor for me if this movie could be released overseas. However, I have to talk to Director Wang about this matter, and I can't make the decision."

Yang Ye said: "There is no problem. When your finished film comes out, I will ask my eldest sister to talk to Director Wang."

Zhang Huaxun asked: "Who is your eldest sister?"

Yang Ye said: "Xia Meng!"

Zhang Huaxun was shocked: "It's actually Ms. Xia Meng. I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of her at the Fourth Literary Congress last year. It was really unforgettable!"

The Fourth Literary Congress in 1979 was a grand event for the literary and art circles to bring "five generations together" and "gather together at home and abroad". It ushered in a new spring for literary and art workers across the country and was a milestone for the literary and art circles to correct chaos.

Many old artists came to the meeting in wheelchairs and on crutches, while young creators were eager to create unique works with passion.

Baiyang Film Company, which was overseas, was also invited, and it was Xia Meng who came for the meeting.

Yang Yip said: "Although I have only seen some rough cuts, I am very optimistic about this movie. Not only will I distribute this movie globally, I will also send it to international film festivals. In addition, Hong Kong is preparing for a film gold medal After this film is released in Hong Kong, it can also participate in the selection of the Hong Kong Film Awards!"

This is Yang Ye's method. He plans to use his energy to build momentum for "The Mysterious Buddha" overseas, in order to silence the conservatives in the country!

"The Mysterious Buddha" is full of fashion elements of this era, including thriller, suspense, kung fu, handsome guys and beauties, everything you want.

In the original time and space, "The Mysterious Buddha" was warmly welcomed when it was released in Europe in 1985. Yang Ye would not lose money by buying and distributing it.

A little more public relations, spending some money, and getting it two small awards at some film festival, Yang Ye can still do it.

When the time comes, "The Mysterious Buddha" will be exported overseas to earn foreign exchange, and if you continue to criticize it, you are going against Gaikai. Think about it for yourself!

……

Yang Ye randomly found a book and saw that it was almost early in the morning when he heard a faint knock on the door. Yang Ye ran to open the door and a plump body fell into his arms...

"This guest house is not soundproof, please do it...be gentle!"

The two of them struggled for a long time, and after they were done, they hugged each other and chatted.

Yang Ye saw Liu Xiaoqing's expression was strange and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I can't scream, it's... very hard to bear it!"

"Hahaha, next time you go to Hong Kong, I will let you scream as much as you want."

Liu Xiaoqing was overjoyed: "You want to take me to Hong Kong?"

Yang Ye shook his head and said: "Hong Kong people are very xenophobic. You are now very famous in the mainland, so it is better to stay in the mainland. However, I will get you a Best Actress at the Academy Awards. Nomination, you can go over and participate.”

Liu Xiaoqing was shocked: "Can you control the Academy Awards?"

Yang Yexin said that I was the one who awarded the Academy Awards.

But he would not say this. He said: "It's just a nomination. Whether you can win the award depends on your own ability."

Liu Xiaoqing was very confident in his acting skills. Hearing this, he said: "Then I will definitely work hard!"

Yang Ye said: "If you want to go to Hong Kong, you just want to make money. I have plenty of money!"

As he spoke, he took out his checkbook, casually wrote two hundred thousand, stuffed it into Liu Xiaoqing's hand, and said, "Take the flowers!"

Liu Xiaoqing was shocked. Two hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars... According to her current salary, she would never make so much money in her lifetime.

Liu Xiaoqing hesitated and said: "This..."

"Just take it, it's nothing. You may not know much about me. I am not only the boss of the largest film company in Hong Kong, but also one of the eight major film companies in Hollywood, and a shareholder of United Artists Pictures. Influence on Hollywood I had one vote out of eight on film policy.”

Yang Ye directly showed his strength, and Liu Xiaoqing was shocked from ear to ear. This was so awesome.

Liu Xiaoqing is smart, sociable, righteous, daring to fight, and has business acumen.

As early as the 1980s, Liu Xiaoqing began to make money through "acupoint walking". The so-called "acupoint walking" means that actors, hosts, singers, etc. go to take private jobs, such as singing songs, cutting ribbons, etc.

At that time, I could earn about fifty yuan from an event, and I could run several events a day.

How much is fifty yuan? In 1983, Liu Xiaoqing was the most popular actress at Beijing Film Studio, and her monthly salary was 47 yuan!

"Acupoint walking" has to be done secretly, so they are often tricked by "acupoints". After completing the activities, the "acupoints" do not pay them, and the actors cannot speak out.

After being deceived several times, Liu Xiaoqing became an "acupoint master" on his own and began to organize actors, singers, and hosts from major studios in Beijing to visit acupoints to make money.

Liu Xiaoqing keeps clear accounts and never cheats anyone. Soon, her character, appeal, program quality, and performance attitude were recognized by the actors, who nicknamed her "Big Cat."

After earning her first pot of gold, Liu Xiaoqing began to go into business and became the richest actress in China for a time, known as the billionaire sister.

If Yang Ye wants to find a helper in the mainland literary and art circles, in this era, Liu Xiaoqing is the best candidate.

Yang Ye said: "Sooner or later I will march into the mainland. When the time comes, I hope you will use your connections to help me open the way."

Seeing Liu Xiaoqing looking at him in surprise, Yang Ye pinched her buttocks and said, "Believe me, this is a hundred times better than going to Hong Kong to be an actor and earn the hard-earned money!" (End of Chapter) )
