Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

In fact, Yang Ye had already planned this trip to Venice, and he expected to win the award.

Because now is the weakest time of the Venice Film Festival, Yang Ye's arrival comes at a critical moment.

Yang Ye is a little different from the big directors who win awards everywhere. He is the guarantee of the box office and is the target of global film companies.

So as soon as he came, film dealers from all over the world flocked to the film festival, and the originally deserted Venice Film Festival became lively in an instant.

In the end, Venice reciprocated the favor and delivered a golden lion to Yang Ye.

Compared to Yang Ye's calmness, the people around Yang Ye were already crazy with joy.

Xu Feng looked at Yang Ye with admiration. Yang Ye and she hugged each other gently and said with a smile: "Come with me to receive the award!"

Xu Feng nodded heavily, with a smile on his eyes and brows.

So, Yang Ye took her hand and walked steadily to the stage to receive the award. Xu Feng has already participated in this movie, so there is nothing wrong with going on stage to accept the award together!

Yangye already has a Golden Palm, and this time there is a Golden Lion. The only thing missing the top three European awards is a Golden Bear.

Now, he is the well-deserved NO.1 Chinese director.

And it's so far ahead that no one else can see his taillights.

It was not until the late 1980s that Chinese-language films became popular at the three major European film festivals.

Since then, a large number of Chinese directors such as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Hou Hsiao-hsien, Edward Yang, Wong Kar-wai, Hui Anhua and others have become award-winning experts and won a lot of prizes at the three major film festivals.

But they just win prizes and have no box office.

In modern times, China was poor and weak, so it was very concerned about some foreign honors. Once obtained, not only would its creators gain fame and fortune, but all Chinese would also be honored.

Since Yang Ye had already won the Palme d'Or at Cannes before, this time, from the moment "Sediq Bale" was selected as the opening film, the media in Hong Kong and Taiwan took action.

Several wealthy media directly dispatched reporters to Venice and continuously sent news related to Yang Ye back to Hong Kong and Taiwan.

As a result, Yang Ye made headlines on entertainment pages every day during this period.

Yang Ye appeared on the red carpet in Venice, "Sediq Bale" received rave reviews, European and American audiences cried after watching it, Yang Ye attended some events, Yang Ye gave a speech in Venice...

The broadcasts are updated every day, and ATV spares no effort to promote the boss, broadcasting news about Yang Ye and "Sediq Bale" every day.

In this way, Yang Ye was slowly put into a position where it was difficult to get off the tiger.

If "Sediq Bale" doesn't win several awards this time, it might really be laughed to death.

But once you really win the prize, the effect will be unprecedented!

……

Hongkong!

A double-decker bus pulled up to the stop.

A four-eyed boy rushed into the car as fast as he could, quickly found an empty seat at the back of the car, and sat down contentedly.

Seeing that the people getting on the bus behind him had to stand hard, he happily took out a newspaper.

"Damn it, I really won a prize!"

A young man standing next to him immediately turned sideways when he heard this and looked at the newspaper in Siyan's hand!

"Damn it, Golden Lion Award!"

The attention of the passengers was immediately attracted, and they started talking about it.

Someone asked: "Is this award very powerful?"

"It's similar to the Palme d'Or in Cannes, but this Yang Ye is really awesome!"

"I don't know if "Wushe Uprising" is good or not!"

"Are there any movies by Yang Ye that are not good to watch?"

"Can you not look good after winning an award?"

"That's not necessarily true. The movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won many awards back then, but I didn't think it was good enough."

"Don't you understand, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a classic, right? Lin Qingxia is so fascinating."

"I don't understand anything. Yang Ye only looks good if he does kung fu. In "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" Yang Ye didn't even do kung fu, so he just fucked Lin Qingxia."

"Isn't it nice to fuck Lin Qingxia?"

"If you put it that way...it looks pretty good."

"I haven't watched it for a long time. I'm going to buy a video tape later and reminisce about it. Lin Qingxia really likes it!"

"This "Wushe Uprising" is a war movie, right? I guess I don't have any kung fu."

"Shooting is also great. Wouldn't Yang Ye look cool when he shoots in "Terminator"?"

"I don't know when it will be released. Every time Yang Ye makes a movie, it takes a long time to shoot."

"Yang Ye basically makes one movie a year, so his movies are good. Those who make five or six movies a year are all bad movies."

……

Taiwan!

The front page of the JoongAng Ilbo published the news that "Sediq Bale" won the Golden Lion Award.

"This newspaper reported:

On the fifth day of August in the 1981s of the Republic of China, September 9, 2, the 38th Venice Film Festival came to an end at the Lido Film Palace.

Co-produced in Taiwan and Hong Kong, the war blockbuster "Wushe Uprising" directed by famous director Yang Ye won the highest honor, the Golden Lion Award.

The picture shows director Yang Ye and actress Xu Feng teaming up to win the Golden Lion trophy!

The Venice Film Festival is the oldest film festival in the world. This is the third time that director Yang Ye has won top honors in the world's film industry after the Oscars and Cannes.

Coincidentally, both "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Wushe Uprising" cooperated with Taiwan, were filmed in Taiwan, and featured a large number of Taiwanese actors.

It is reported that "Wushe Uprising" took five years and cost NT$300 million to create. It is the largest and most magnificent epic blockbuster in Taiwan's history.

The movie tells the story of Taiwan’s aboriginal people’s epic history of resisting Japanese aggression fifty years ago…”…

Chinese newspapers in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and other countries also published the news that "Wushe Uprising" won the Golden Lion Award, and Yang Ye's name once again resounded throughout the Chinese world.

In fact, it is just a Golden Lion Award, which is far less sensational than winning the Oscar and Palme d'Or.

Not to mention the time when he violently attacked the Japanese martial arts community and was awarded the title of "Anti-Japanese Hero", which inspired Chinese people all over the world.

This time it was mainly because of the good hype. Because Yang Ye was so famous, as soon as "Sediq Bale" was shortlisted for the Golden Lion Award, the Chinese media spontaneously reported it.

And it is renovated every day, which means it is inevitable to win.

In the end, Yang Ye really lived up to expectations and won the Golden Lion, and naturally he was in the limelight for a while.

Yang Ye was in Venice and was followed and reported by Chinese media every day, which made him notice this situation long ago.

In this case, he simply made a desperate move and added fuel to the flames.

While cooperating with the hype, we worked hard to make copies and prepare for release.

There is no need to wait for the Lunar New Year release. The New Year release is already scheduled. It is directly scheduled for the Mid-Autumn Festival and will be released in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia.

Although Hong Kong does not have a holiday during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Taiwan does, and it is also followed by a National Day, which is a good time.

And in Japan, although it is not news that Yang Ye won the Golden Lion Award, Kadokawa Haruki and his fellows were hyping the scandal between Yang Ye and Yakushimaru Hiroko during this period.

Therefore, he took advantage of the popularity and released the movie in Japan.

He plans to release "Sailor Suits and Machine Guns" immediately after "Sediq Bale" is released.

The main thing is hype, hype it to death!

After the Venice Film Festival ended, Yang Ye and his party stayed in Venice for a few more days to sign contracts with film producers before returning to Hong Kong.

There are actually three versions of Seediq Bale. One is the 150-minute international version, which is also released in Hong Kong.

The overall rhythm of this version is more compact, and a large number of subplots have been deleted, making the deeds of the protagonist Mona Rudo clearer.

And playing most of the time, it looks more enjoyable and more in line with the taste of a theatrical movie.

The final ending is not as lengthy as the original version. The ending of the international version is that the last five warriors including Mona Rudo howl and rush across the suspension bridge.

The Japanese army opened fire, the suspension bridge was destroyed, and the soldiers were blown away. The movie ended abruptly here.

The Taiwan version is the longest at four hours and twenty minutes. It is divided into two parts, "Flag of the Sun" and "Rainbow Bridge." It is the most complete version.

The Japanese version is called "Sakura in the Wind" and is also divided into two parts, "Flag of the Sun" and "Rainbow Bridge", but the duration is slightly shorter.

The ending is that after the war, the Japanese major general saw a cherry blossom forest, and the crimson cherry blossoms were blooming brilliantly. So, this guy made a sigh.

"Three hundred warriors resisted thousands of troops and committed suicide without fighting. Why do I see our samurai spirit that has disappeared for hundreds of years in this remote mountainous area of ​​Taiwan? Are the cherry blossoms here blooming too brightly red?"

This passage, from the perspective of the Japanese, throws out the theory of the same origin of the samurai spirit, and creates admiration for the behavior of the aborigines.

Although this exclamation is very silly, but for the sake of box office, it is not shabby!

……

Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the women in Yang Ye go back to their respective homes to find their mothers, but this year is a little different.

Early in the morning, Lin Fengjiao was learning pregnancy knowledge from the TV when she saw Xu Feng walking in with a little boy in his arms.

Lin Fengjiao's character is somewhat submissive. Since she is with Yang Ye and is pregnant with a child, she accepts everything Yang Ye has to offer.

When he saw Xu Feng, he very obediently stepped forward to greet him, and said with a smile: "Sister Feng, happy Mid-Autumn Festival, this is Potato Bar, he looks so handsome!"

Xu Feng quickly put down Tudou, stepped forward to support Lin Fengjiao, and said with a smile: "We have known each other before, so there is no need to be so polite. Tudou, call me aunt!"

Yang Tudou shouted in a sweet voice: "Hello, aunt!"

"So good!"

"Where is our husband?"

Lin Fengjiao said somewhat sourly: "In the room with that Guan Jiahui..."

Xu Feng was a little speechless and said: "This bad guy, you are pregnant, and he will mess around in front of you."

Lin Fengjiao didn't know how to respond, so she simply changed the subject and said, "Sister Feng, you are experienced. I have a question and I want to ask you!"

As he spoke, he asked Xu Feng for advice on parenting. Xu Feng was usually taciturn, but now he actually knew everything and chatted happily with Lin Fengjiao. It was a miracle.

Xu Feng is different from others. For her, Yang Ye is the one who pulls her out of the fire pit.

She has a combination of gratitude, love, appreciation, worship and other emotions towards Yang Ye.

In short, Yang Ye is her god, and she can die for Yang Ye.

So when Yang Ye found a few women outside, she didn't care at all. Anyway, Yang Ye didn't like the new and disliked the old. He loved her very much and never neglected her.

The two were chatting happily when Zhao Yazhi came with Yang Ritian.

On the contrary, Lin Qingxia didn't come and went to her sister's house to celebrate the festival.

Yang Ye called Zhao Yazhi and Xu Feng over to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival because these two wives were more virtuous and less prone to conflicts.

Opening a harem is not an easy task. Women naturally love palace fighting. If they fight to the death, it will really kill Yang Ye.

For the sake of the harmony of the harem, Yang Ye could only slowly figure it out. Use the method of Qin to unify the six countries, defeat them one by one, in order to finally achieve great unification.

Also, calling them here today was also for the two children, Yang Hao and Yang Yu, to meet and get to know each other.

They are all Yang Ye's flesh and blood, so they can't not know each other, right?

As for Guan Jiahui, Yang Ye called her here to show Xu Feng, Zhao Yazhi, and Lin Fengjiao, three virtuous and well-behaved wives, to give this jealous little boy a good start.

In the room, the rain had stopped and the clouds had dispersed. Yang Ye hugged Guan Zhilin, whose face was flushed, and said seriously: "Jiahui, when we go out later, when you see some sisters, be good."

Guan Jiahui wanted to say: "I'm not good!"

But she still pouted and said: "I know, you just call me sister, I'll just call you sister!" (End of Chapter)
