Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu
Chapter 303 Going North and Going South
The result of Fang Yihua's communication with Michelle left her dumbfounded.
What Michelle means is that if you ask me to switch gears, you also need to help me pay liquidated damages. It's not worth it and it's unnecessary.
If you want to ask me to film a movie, I can do it!
Anyone who wants to hire me to film a movie can just talk to my agent directly.
As long as the price, script and schedule are right, the company won't stop it.
Of course, if it is you, Miss Fang, I will interview you personally.
Only then did Fang Yihua realize that Baiyang Agency was actually serious.
Michelle explained: "ATV is ATV, Yang Kee is Yang Kee, and ATV is Yang Kee's customer. TVB can also become Yang Kee's customer if it is willing. Yang Kee is a dream come true."
Michelle actually made a sales pitch to Fang Yihua, which caught Fang Yihua off guard.
However, Fang Yihua couldn't swallow this breath. She felt that it was too shameful to hire someone from Baiyang Agency, so she finally let Zhuang Jing become the heroine.
The stunt of letting Zhou Runfa and Chen Yulian fight in the ring failed because Zhou Runfa refused.
Zhou Runfa is a man, and he doesn’t want to use his ex-girlfriend to stir up conversation. He would lose face if he loses, and it would be boring if he wins.
In the end, TVB postponed the broadcast of "Su Qier" and launched "The Prodigal Son" adapted from a Japanese comic to cope with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
"The Prodigal Son" was originally the TV series that made Huang Rihua famous and Liang Caowei's rise to prominence.
However, in this time and space, ATV's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was so powerful that it was suppressed to the point where there was no splash at all.
……
Although Fang Yihua regards Yang Ye as his enemy, Yang Ye actually does not regard Wireless as an opponent.
In the field of TV dramas, Yang Ye is eyeing the entire Asian market.
His biggest rivals are Japan's top five broadcasters, and wireless is nothing.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Japanese cinema declined to its lowest point.
However, Japanese dramas rose rapidly and became popular throughout Asia in the 1980s and 1990s.
It was a period when Japan's economy was at its strongest, and it was also a period when Japanese pop culture swept across Asia.
Next, Yang Ye will collect all those classic Japanese dramas.
Yang Ye has a trump card in his hand, which is Li Ming.
If Lai Ming is allowed to act in an idol drama, Kimura Takuya and Sorimachi Takashi will only stand aside.
Some people say that Li Ming's acting skills are not good. What kind of acting skills are needed to act in an idol drama? Just be handsome.
But before that, we must first capture the Southeast Asian market and stabilize the fundamentals.
The copyright of Jin Yong's ancient dragon in Yang Ye's hands is an artifact for conquering Southeast Asia.
……
In the garden, Yang Ye was seriously teaching his two sons to practice martial arts.
"Hold your horse stance and straighten your arms!"
"Well, Potato's performance is good. Let's reward him with chicken legs later."
"Ritian, you are so embarrassed, you are actually being compared to your younger brother."
Yang Ritian was so ashamed that he quickly straightened his hanging arms.
Zhao Yazhi shouted: "We have been practicing for half an hour. Let the children take a rest and eat."
Yang Ye looked at his watch and said, "One minute left!"
"Okay, let's call it a day!"
Yang Ye picked up the two little guys one by one, took them to the bathroom, and said, "Wash yourself, and come out to eat after you're clean."
Zhao Yazhi followed behind and complained: "Can you please stop calling Hao Zi Ri Tian Tian? It sounds so ugly."
"Um, I just called it casually, please be careful next time."
While the family was eating, Yang Ye said: "In a blink of an eye, the two children are now three years old and will officially enter kindergarten this semester. Do you want to prepare for a comeback?"
Xu Feng said: "I have already told Sister Meng that when Tudou goes to school, I will go to the company to work with her."
Yang Ye was very pleased that Xu Feng was still ambitious.
He said, "Now we have two film companies, Bai Yang and Jade Bird. Bai Yang is based in Hong Kong, and Jade Bird mainly cooperates with the mainland. Sister Meng really can't take care of it by herself.
Sister Meng has a big reputation in the mainland, and she is mainly communicating with the mainland now. However, she is old and is not suitable for traveling to the mainland all year round. It is better to stay in Hong Kong.
Afeng, I want to take over the affairs of Jade Bird Company after you become familiar with the business in the Mainland. What do you think? "
Xu Feng wanted to help her husband's career take off and said, "I understand."
Yang Ye said to Zhao Yazhi again: "Where are you, Azhi?"
Zhao Yazhi was not interested in managing the company. She said: "I'd better come back to film!"
Yang Ye nodded.
Zhao Yazhi added: "But there are many new people in the company now, and I don't know if the audience will still buy into my account."
Yang Ye smiled and said: "You are born with a kind of affinity, and the audience will never forget you. This comeback, I will personally create a TV series for you to ensure that you become popular in Southeast Asia."
Zhao Yazhi has lived as a lady for several years, and her face is radiant. Her girlish form has gradually faded away, and she has become like a good wife and mother. Her appearance has reached its peak, and she is more approachable than before. Now is the time to make a comeback.
……
Baiyang Group's high-level meeting.
The first thing at the meeting was to discuss the matter of the crew of "Love from the Earth" going to the capital to film the third part of "Thunder in the Ancient Capital".
This drama brings together three ace stars Pan Zhiwen, Michelle, and Liu Songren, as well as Bao Qijing to join the cast. The lineup is very strong.
Going to the capital for filming was something Yuan Shikong wanted to do but failed to do.
Yang Ye is a very stubborn guy. He ignored Taiwan's ban on him and insisted on sending the crew to the capital.
The reason is very simple. "Thunder in the Ancient Capital" is a TV series based on the May 4th Movement. It has the family, country and world in mind. If you don't go to the capital to shoot, it won't have that flavor. This is also the reason why the reputation of "Thunder in the Ancient Capital" of the original time and space is not as good as that of "Home in Pearl River".
"Love from the Earth" is the greatest Hong Kong drama. Anyone who has watched it will know that its artistic value and practical significance are not comparable to those of "Shanghai Beach".
It uses a line drawing technique to show the history of blood and tears in modern China. It is both compassionate and kind. It has the legacy of Lu Xun and is of far-reaching significance.
It is a pity that this TV series has not been introduced to the mainland, so its influence is limited to the Pearl River Delta area.
However, in the 1980s, there was a kind of short story about TV screen captures, and "The Love of the Earth" spread throughout the country through this kind of short story.
Many Chinese people as far away as the Northwest moved to tears just by reading these little novels, which shows how powerful this play is.
But its flaw is that it is a Hong Kong drama.
The subject matter involved in "The Love of the Earth" is really too big. To tell the fate of the Chinese people and the relationship between the Chinese people and the land in a TV series, the little Lishi simply can't handle it.
After the first film "Home in the Pearl River" reached its peak, the next two films "Thunder in the Ancient Capital" and "Golden Mountain Dream" slowly faded away. The last two films about Shanghai and Hong Kong were not filmed at all. This is really a pity!
Yang Ye hopes to fully present all the five films planned in advance. This is not even a matter of money. Even if he loses money, it is still worth doing.
Therefore, he strongly supports shooting in the capital and does not take the Taiwan ban to heart.
As for Yang Ye himself, he hates blocking things, whether it's the Mainland, Taiwan, or anywhere in the world.
Those who step on the horse are in the literary prison, and they block others at every turn. All of them have sons without buttholes.
Yang Ye and Xia Meng both had some connections in the capital. They explained the matter of going to the capital, who to go to if there was trouble, etc., and the matter was settled.
Yang Ye finally said: ""Love from the Earth" is broadcast in 25 countries and regions around the world, has a good reputation, and even won an Emmy Award.
Chinese compatriots all over the world burst into tears after watching this drama, and even began to think about tracing their roots. Because of its great influence, it was even banned in Thailand.
Everyone here should be proud to be able to produce such a TV series.
For the next part of "Thunder in the Ancient Capital", I hope that everyone can devote their own efforts to make this drama a good one and not let down the Chinese compatriots around the world. "
……
After talking about going north, Yang Ye mentioned another thing about going south.
Yang Ye said: "Now, the situation in Nanyang has undergone some changes. On the one hand, Malaysia has begun to promote 'Malayization' and established the National Film Development Agency, referred to as FINAS.
FINAS stipulates that a film must have more than 70% of the dialogue in Malay to be called a Malaysian film. Films with Chinese dialogue as the main dialogue are all regarded as foreign films.
If nothing else happens, Shaw Brothers, the king of Malaysia, will soon leave. Without the Malay market, Hong Kong cannot compete with us. I speculate that Shaw Brothers will be finished within two or three years! "
For a long time, the local film industry in Malaysia was almost entirely controlled by two Chinese capitals, Shaw Brothers and Cathay Pacific.
From the 30s to the 70s, these two companies produced nearly 300 Malay-language films and imported nearly a thousand Hong Kong films to Malaysia, which was a huge scale.
The Malays couldn't beat the Chinese with capital, so they began to use political weapons.
The senior executives here usually pay attention to their own affairs, and they were all very surprised when they heard these words.
Yang Ye has been paying attention to Nanyang's affairs and asserted that Shaw Brothers will be finished. This is a bit far-sighted.
However, Yang Ye's speculation is very credible. The situation in Malaysia has changed so much that Shaw Brothers can't stop thinking about it.
Yang Ye continued: "Malays can make crappy movies. Once Shaw Brothers withdraws, there will be a huge vacuum in the Malay market.
Now, Hollywood is promoting the construction of multiplex theaters around the world, and they will not let go of Malaysia.
My strategy is, if they build it, we will build it too. Manager Jiang, next month you and I will go to Nanyang to cooperate with local Chinese businessmen to promote our theater chain to Nanyang. "
Jiang Zhiqiang nodded, feeling a little excited. He was finally leaving Hong Kong to expand overseas.
However, he asked: "Mr. Yang, since you think Shaw Brothers will withdraw, why not take the opportunity to acquire Shaw Brothers' properties in Malay?"
Yang Ye shook his head and said: "Shaw Brothers' studio in Malay will definitely be annexed by the Malays. Let alone let us say we can't get it, it will be useless even if we get it. Otherwise, why would Shaw Brothers withdraw?
As for Shaw Brothers' cinemas in Malay, they are all backward single-room theaters, and I don't like them either.
The Malays are all poor people, and the rich ones are all Chinese. What we want to build in the local area is a high-end cinema chain, mainly doing Chinese business, directly excluding the poor people. "
Everyone's expressions were a little half-smiling. It seemed that Yang Ye hated those Malays very much.
But having said that, who doesn’t hate those Malay monkeys who play bad tricks when doing business?
……
After talking about Malaysia, Yang Ye added: "At the same time, Singapore next door to Malaysia is vigorously promoting the Chinese language movement, and they have also established the Singapore Broadcasting Authority and poached many TV talents from Hong Kong.
You also know this. For example, our ace screenwriter Liang Liren was poached by Singang and is going to Singapore to serve as the Director of the Drama Department. "
Everyone nodded. SMG has been making a lot of moves in Hong Kong recently. Some people from ATV and TVB have left their jobs to go gold hunting in Singapore.
Yang Ye said: "Since Singapore wants to learn from our advanced technology in Hong Kong, then we might as well cooperate with them."
Yang Ye said, took out a script outline of the TV series and distributed it to everyone.
Yang Ye said: "Hong Kong is too small, and our vision cannot be limited to a small city. In the past two years, our strategy of going global has made some progress.
In addition to "The Love of the Earth", "Dragon" was not long ago broadcast in Southeast Asia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and other countries. It was also warmly welcomed and the ratings were very high.
In order to consolidate the Nanyang market, I plan to go to Singapore in person and work directly with SMG to film a TV series that showcases Nanyang culture, so as to bring the two closer together. "
Yang Ye said: "The show I planned is called "Little Nyonya". For people of Chinese descent in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore, men are called bābā and women are called Nyonya.
They have a unique culture that is in the same vein as us Chinese, but also unique. "
The TV series "Little Nyonya" not only contains the history of the indomitable struggle of a kind-hearted woman, but also the drama of women fighting for favor in a big family.
You can hear the different names for the tribesmen, the complicated ethnic rules, and see the beautiful Nyonya costumes, embroidery, and unique Nyonya dishes, songs and dances.
Just as "Dae Jang Geum" showcases ancient Korean culture, "Little Nyonya" showcases the human sentiments of Singapore.
Once launched in the original time and space, it immediately became popular throughout Nanyang and the Chinese world. It was also introduced to Japan and South Korea, and its influence was huge.
Yang Ye asked Zhao Yazhi to be the protagonist and launch this "Little Nyonya". Once it succeeds, Zhao Yazhi will become the well-deserved No. 1 red star in Nanyang.
……
I would like to wish all readers a Happy New Year, good luck and fortune! (End of chapter)
