Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

"There's a new guy here again!"

As soon as Xiao Qiang entered the classroom, she said mysteriously.

"When new people come, new people come. Come every month!"

Wang Zuxian lay on the table and yawned. She hid under the quilt and read romance novels so late last night.

"This time is different, they are Japanese!"

"It's not like I haven't been here before, Akina is Japanese!"

"Oh, Brother Ye personally brought Akina out for her debut, and she has become famous all over Japan. I'm so envious!"

Cui Zhenzhen said with a longing look on his face: "When can we debut?"

Zhou Huimin said: "Brother Ye said that you have to wait until you are at least sixteen."

Wang Zuxian suddenly became energetic, sat up straight and said, "Isn't that just next year?"

"No, we are a group. Yingying is not yet fourteen years old, so we have to wait at least two years."

Wang Zuxian pouted at Xiao Qiang: "It's all your fault!"

Xiao Qiang was dissatisfied: "Hey! I can't decide when my mother will give birth to me. Jingyi is not even fourteen years old, why don't you talk about her!"

Yi Nengjing was lying on the table writing a diary. When she heard this, she said, "What does it have to do with me?"

Fu Mingxian said weakly: "Well... I'm only twelve years old!"

"Ah?" Everyone was immediately discouraged!

At this time, two girls walked in.

One has short, sleek hair, is very tall, and looks very handsome.

The other one has long hair, is very petite, has very smart eyes, and is a bit eccentric.

The two of them stood together like a young couple. They bowed politely to everyone and said, "Howl!"

Xiao Qiang said casually: "Oh haha!"

The short-haired girl said in surprise: "Can you speak Japanese?"

Xiao Qiang said: "A little bit! We used to have a partner from Japan, but she has returned to Japan!"

The short-haired girl said: "Is it Akina Nakamori?"

"Yes!"

"Wow, she is super popular in Japan now and is the idol of all girls!"

Xiao Qiang raised her head and looked at the ceiling: "I'm so envious, I really want to make a debut!"

Everyone introduced each other. The short-haired girl was named Amami Yuki, and the long-haired girl was named Kudo Shizuka. They were both brought by Yang Ye from Japan.

Kudo Shizuka, that's all. Several girls couldn't move their eyes away from that Amami Yuki.

Xiao Qiang finally couldn't help but said: "You are so handsome!"

Tianhai Yuxi scratched her head in embarrassment and said: "Actually, I originally had long hair, but Yang Sang said that I was more suitable for short hair, so he asked me to cut my hair short and changed my stage name to Tianhai Yuxi."

Xiao Qiang said: "You must not grow your hair long. In my eyes, you are the second most handsome man in the world!"

"Who is the most handsome man?"

"Of course it's Brother Ye!"

"Yang Sang is indeed handsome!"

"How did you come to Hong Kong?"

Yuki Amami said in confusion: "I don't know either! One day, my grandmother asked me what I wanted to do in the future, and I said I wanted to be an actress. But she said, you are so skinny, you look like burdock. Only children who are young can’t be actors.”

"Hahaha, burdock! Uh, I'm sorry... please continue."

Burdock is a root vegetable common in Japan and Taiwan. It looks like a yam.

"I was very sad, and then Yang Sang suddenly appeared in front of me, as if a god descended from heaven. He said, do you want to be an actress? Come with me!

Then I took him to see my mother. My mother said that as a girl, you should pursue your dreams, so I followed Yang Sang to Hong Kong. "

"It's so magical!" Several girls were stunned.

"What about you?" Xiao Qiang asked Kudo Shizuka with great interest.

"I'm relatively ordinary. I went to Kadokawa Office for an interview and wanted to be an idol like Hiroko Yakushimaru. But President Kadokawa said I was too beautiful and not suitable to be an idol, so he eliminated me. Then Yang Sang thought I could sing. Yes, he took me to Hong Kong."

Zhou Huimin asked strangely: "Why can't you become an idol if you are too beautiful?"

Shizuka Kudo said helplessly: "President Kadokawa said that what he needs is an ordinary, ordinary girl next door, so that she will feel close to her."

"What a strange logic. Anyway, you are welcome to join. Let's work hard together!"

……

Nakamori Akina was brought out by Yang Ye in the name of Yamaguchi Momoe's disciple, and she became famous overnight.

If Yang Ye wants to bring people from Japan to Hong Kong, it will be very easy. Who doesn’t want to become a popular idol like Akina Nakamori?

However, Yang Ye only brought back two. The PLUS version of Girls' Generation he planned was a nine-member group, and there should not be too many Japanese and Korean members.

The singing skills of a girl group are not very important. Just one or two singing talents are enough. What is more important is that they have to be distinctive.

Among the current members, Amami Yuki, Kudo Shizuka, Wang Zuxian, Xiao Qiang, and Zhou Huimin are all very recognizable.

Yi Nengjing and Cui Zhenzhen are relatively weak.

And there are only seven members now, three from Japan and South Korea, three from Taiwan, and one from Hong Kong.

Fu Mingxian is too young, and she has a special status. If she joins, she will cause a lot of trouble to other team members. Yang Ye plans to let her make her debut directly in movies in the future.

We still have to find two team members from Hong Kong.

……

In the screening room, Yang Ye, Xia Meng, Jiang Zhiqiang, McDonald, Li Dawei, Wen Jun and others were watching the new film "Pretty Girl"!

This movie is about four problematic girls who don't like going to school and run into society, working as dancers and taking drugs.

The last one became an addict; one committed suicide due to a broken love; the other burned himself out because of his playfulness.

There is only one left, Lin Biqi. Her beloved boyfriend is back. She thought she could start over, but her boyfriend was hacked to death.

In the last shot, Lin Biqi watched her boyfriend's body being carried into a police car, leaning on her mother's shoulder with tears in her eyes.

He shouted: "Mom!"

"Clap clap clap!"

Yang Ye took the lead in applauding and praised: "Lao Mai, you did a good job in making this movie. You used a pseudo-documentary technique to shoot social reality issues, which increases the persuasiveness and credibility. Manager Jiang, I suggest that this movie be used as a resurrection film." A staple during the festival!”

Jiang Zhiqiang previously produced a mock documentary "The Tragic War", which was a box office hit. Therefore, there was no discrimination against films made using documentary techniques. He nodded and said, "Okay!"

The main creators of the film such as McDonald's were very happy. It was their first time to make a film and they got a good schedule. This was an affirmation for them. Moreover, everyone admired Yang Ye's vision for movies. He said that the movie was well made and it was going to be a big hit!

Xia Mengdao: "This girl named Lin Biqi did a great job. She fully demonstrated the stubborn, arrogant, self-destructive and helpless mentality of a fallen girl. Where did you find it?" Li Dawei said: "Producer Mai decided The film was shot in a semi-documentary style, with all live recordings used. The actors were all new actors who were close to the characters themselves. I was also given the task of finding actors.

I wandered the streets patiently, looking for those little girls who were pretty and had personality. This Lin Biqi was found outside Kowloon Walled City.

She has a lot of personality. I asked her if she wanted to make a movie, and she asked if she would be a heroine? It’s not that the heroine doesn’t want to film, then I’ll agree first.

It turned out that she was really talented. We simply revised the script and changed the character's name to Pinkie Pie, and changed her character to be closer to her own. The final result was really good! "

Yang Ye gave a thumbs up: "She does have some talent, and more importantly, she fits the role very well, which makes her in this movie a perfect blend of human and drama. Everyone else in the movie pales in comparison to her. She can You are very lucky to have found her!"

Wen Jun sighed: "I don't know whether it was her fate or our luck to find Lin Biqi to make this film!"

Yang Ye clapped his hands and said: "The momentum of Hong Kong movies this year is very strong. Our Christmas movie "Sword Rain" broke 1600 million Hong Kong dollars, and Golden Harvest's "The Prodigal Son" broke 900 million Hong Kong dollars.

In the following Spring Festival period, Shaw Brothers' "Eighteen Martial Arts" had a box office of 990 million, and New Arts City's "The Best Partner" was even more impressive, with 2600 million, breaking the Hong Kong box office record.

What does this mean? It shows that our Hong Kong movies have ushered in a golden age. Next, the scale of Hong Kong's theater chains will continue to expand, film output will continue to rise, and movie box office will continue to set new records.

But opportunities also mean challenges and risks. If the market is so good, there will inevitably be a large influx of hot money, which will lead to Hong Kong film companies springing up like mushrooms after a rain.

They will produce a large number of movies and flood the market, taking up a lot of screen time. In this case, film quality becomes particularly important.

If it were in the past, if you made a bad movie, you could still waste time in the theater and waste money on the box office, but you won't have this opportunity in the future.

If your film is not good, it might be a one-day movie and it won’t even have a chance to be released!

Under such a wave, we at Baiyang Pictures must be the mainstay, work side by side, produce the best works, earn the most money, and leave a glorious page of our own in this golden age! "

"it is good!"

Yang Ye's words made everyone excited!

Those who have caught up with the golden age and are at the top of the times must leave their names.

Life lasts for one autumn, and who doesn’t want to leave a mark in history?

McDonald's couldn't help but sing "Under the Lion Rock": "We are in the same boat, we vow to follow each other, we are fearless and even more fearless..."

Everyone was stunned. This horse seemed to be out of place.

No matter what, everyone likes to flatter the boss, so they sang together: "We are at the same end of the world, hand in hand to smooth the ruggedness. We, all of us, worked hard to write that immortal famous saying!"

……

"Director Wang, Director Zhang, Miss Liu, long time no see!"

Yang Ye and Xia Meng went to the airport to pick them up in person, giving the mainland trio enough face.

Wang Yang's face glowed red and he said: "Mr. Yang, Ms. Yang, you are too polite!"

"Get in the car first, we have prepared a banquet to welcome you."

In front of so many people, Yang Ye did not have any communication with Liu Xiaoqing.

The group came to Donglai Plaza, and the mainland trio were immediately attracted by this huge shopping mall.

However, this is not the first time for the three of them to go abroad. They have all seen the world, so naturally they will not make jokes about country people coming to the city.

In front of Yang Ye and Xia Meng, he acted very calmly to avoid being looked down upon.

Yang Ye booked a private room in Liyuan. After a few people took their seats, the dishes were served in a flowing stream.

Zhang Huaxun and Liu Xiaoqing are from Sichuan and are not used to Cantonese food at all, especially Liu Xiaoqing, who won't eat without chili.

But when the waiter served the food, he actually brought a bottle of chili sauce, which made the two of them feel warmer.

After a while, Yang Ye said: "According to the rules of the Academy Awards, those who are shortlisted will be qualified to become judges. So if Director Zhang and Miss Liu are interested, you can go to the organizing committee to register your membership cards tomorrow. . From now on, you will be the lifelong judges of the Academy Awards and have the qualifications to judge awards for the Academy Awards."

Wang Yang asked strangely: "We are mainland filmmakers, can we also participate in the selection of the Academy Awards?"

Yang Ye said: "Of course, the judges of the Academy Awards include film producers, directors, actors, photographers, editors, martial artists, musicians... all kinds of film professionals. Once anyone is shortlisted, they will automatically become Lifelong judges, even if they no longer work in the film industry, are still eligible to participate in voting for awards."

Xia Meng added: "In addition to gaining membership status if you are shortlisted, you can also invite a person from the film industry to be a judge of the Academy Awards if jointly recommended by two members. If you are interested, Director Wang, I can work with Aye Let’s invite you to join us together.”

After all, Wang Yang is the director of Beijing Film Studio. There is no reason why Zhang Huaxun and Liu Xiaoqing should be the judges of the Academy Awards. He is not!

So Xia Meng immediately extended an invitation to Wang Yang. Wang Yang thought it was quite interesting and it was an honor for him, so he readily agreed.

Liu Xiaoqing asked strangely: "Then if we become members, will we have to attend the Academy Awards every year in the future?"

Yang Ye shook his head: "No, as long as you leave your address, the organizing committee will send you a ballot every year. If you don't want to vote, it doesn't matter if you abstain.

However, except for the best movie, everyone can only vote for awards related to their own profession. For example, Xiaoqing, if you are an actor, you can only vote for the actor award. "

The more Wang Yang listened, the more interesting he found it. The Hundred Flowers Award in the Mainland is decided by audience voting, while the Golden Rooster Award has a jury set up every year, and this jury selects all awards.

This Academy Award is actually selected by qualified industry insiders, which sounds like it is much more impartial.

Because relying solely on mass voting is inevitably unprofessional, setting up a jury every year will be affected by the taste preferences of the judges.

After finishing the topic of the Academy Awards, Xia Meng said: "I would like to give you three good news. The movie "The Mysterious Buddha" has been released overseas and the box office is not bad. It has achieved a box office of 530 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong. The global box office is close to million US dollars, and the film companies who bought the rights have made money, and we are all looking forward to Director Zhang's next film."

The three of them looked at each other and were all very happy. This is a great event!

I earn foreign exchange for the country, and the movies I made are still being screened overseas. How glorious this is!

Yang Ye smiled and said: "We specially asked people to film the grand opening of "The Mysterious Buddha" overseas, and also conducted interviews with overseas tourists and European and American friends about their views on the movie. I will bring the video to you later, After you return home, you can focus on promoting it."

When Wang Yang heard this, his eyes widened.

"The Mysterious Big Buddha" exploded at the box office and made a lot of money for Beijing Film Studio.

If there were more movies like this, the welfare of employees in the factory would be greatly improved.

It's a pity that due to pressure, they don't dare to make more movies like this.

This Yang Ye is so good at getting things done.

This video tape is definitely a treasure!

After taking this back, as soon as the news was reported, overseas audiences rushed to watch Chinese movies and gave them positive reviews.

Who is not proud after hearing this?

"I have a heart, I have a heart!"

The three of them raised their glasses to toast Yang Ye, and Zhang Huaxun was almost in tears.

Some people in China criticized him verbally, but an overseas compatriot tried every means to support him!

Yang Ye drank the wine in the glass and said: "One more thing, Mr. Jin Yong liked "The Mysterious Buddha" very much after watching it. He personally adapted his "Book, Sword, Enmity" into a movie script, and I hope that Director Zhang can be invited to direct this film.”

These days, everyone from emperors and generals to peddlers and servants is a fan of Jin Yong. Zhang Huaxun was flattered when he heard that Jin Yong liked his movies and even adapted his own works and asked him to direct them.

But he didn't dare to agree to this casually and glanced at Wang Yang.

Yang Ye added: "Director Wang, I hope to cooperate with Beijing Film Studio to shoot this movie. All the funds and equipment will be provided by our Jade Bird Film Company. The domestic copyright belongs to you, and the overseas copyright belongs to us."

Nowadays, co-production of movies between the Mainland and Hong Kong is nothing new. Emei Film Factory and Xiaoxiang Film Factory have both co-produced films with Hong Kong.

In this case, I, Beijing Film Studio, cannot lag behind.

Wang Yang said happily: "You can consider it!"

Yang Ye smiled and said: "Okay, I'll make arrangements for you two to have an interview with Mr. Jin Yong!" (End of Chapter)
