Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 311 It’s none of my business
"The land that has been lost for hundreds of years can be recovered. As descendants of Yan and Huang, even if we are not happy, we can't object, right? Besides, ATV only did objective and fair reporting."

"This is my national stance, not a political stance!"

After Yang Ye talked eloquently, Gu Zhenfu sighed and said: "From my standpoint, I can understand you, but I can't control the situation. I want to ask, if the authorities decide to ban you completely, what will you do? How do you plan to respond?”

Yang Ye thought for a while and said, "Don't deal with it!"

"Not coping?"

"Don't deal with it! I just focus on my entertainment career and have never made any comments about politics. If this means banning me, then I have nothing to say."

"That's a big loss for your film company!"

"To be honest, blocking can threaten others, but it cannot threaten me. You also know that my biggest market is in North America, Japan and South Korea. The island market is just the icing on the cake for me.

If you block me, the damage to the island will be even greater. My company goes to the island for filming every year, creating a lot of jobs for the island.

When you buy my movies every year, you not only earn huge box office profits, but also enrich the spiritual and cultural life of the people on the island. Blocking me will only cause a lot of complaints! "

Gu Zhenfu said with a smile: "You are so confident!"

Yang Ye shook his head and said: "It's not because I'm confident, it's just to comfort myself. Of course I don't want to be banned."

"It doesn't matter to you, that's all. You took Miss Lin Qingxia to the mainland to film, and now she is unable to return to the island. Don't you blame yourself?"

"You mentioned this, and I would like to say a few more words. The reason why Qingxia went to the mainland is actually very simple. She went to find her relatives.

She has a sister living in the mainland. Qingxia is very filial and cannot bear the thought of her mother getting sick from missing her daughter, so she goes to the mainland to find her relatives.

Qingxia is a big star, she has the ability to do this, but what about the countless ordinary people? I suggest that if you really care about the people, you should find a way to solve this matter.

The wife's flesh and blood are not allowed to see each other. This is a man-made tragedy. It should end! "

After hearing this, Gu Zhenfu couldn't help but sigh.

"Aye, whether it's from a personal emotional point of view or from the interests of China Film Company, I don't agree with banning you. However, some people are shouting more fiercely, so we have to consider it.

I also know that you have been active on the island, and many people have taken advantage of you and spoken for you. Later, those people softened up. That was the end of it, and the unblocking was a matter of course.

It's a pity that because of your ATV report and your record company helping Li Guyi release his songs, everything you have done before has been wasted. "

Speaking of this, Yang Ye felt a little sorry for his money. Hu Yinmeng dragged her father up and down to take care of it, but in the end it was all a waste.

Mom, this money can't be spent in vain, and Hu Yinmeng can't live up to all his hard work.

He said: "Do you think this is okay? Didn't "First Blood" recently apply to be released on the island? Can you think of a way to get it to pass the review and be released on the island? Anyway, I didn't appear in this film. Well."

Gu Zhenfu was stunned: "Isn't that directed by you?"

Yang Ye said confidently: "That was directed by Nick Young. What does it have to do with me, Yang Ye?"

Gu Zhenfu couldn't help laughing, and laughed uncontrollably: "You are hiding your ears and trying to cover up the truth!"

Yang Ye said: "Isn't that what everyone does now? I'm not the only one who goes to the mainland to film. If Fang Yihua hadn't jumped out to report Li Hanxiang, I believe you would have turned a blind eye."

Gu Zhenfu understood what Yang Ye meant. As long as "First Blood" was successfully released on the island, it meant that Yang Ye's movie could be released on the island, and then other movies would be released.

If Yang Ye releases a movie, China Film can earn tens of millions of Taiwan dollars.

Damn it, who doesn’t want to make this money?

Gu Zhenfu is one of the ten thousand people who is unwilling to ban Yang Ye, otherwise he would not have made a special trip to Singapore to meet Yang Ye.

"let me try!"

……

As soon as Yang Ye returned to Hong Kong, he sent out invitations to all media to attend the premiere of "Kowloon Walled City".

He was so busy that Hu Yinmeng walked in and said: "The news from my father is that "First Blood" will be released on the island."

Yang Ye was overjoyed, hugged her over, kissed her red lips, and said gratefully: "Yinyin, thank you!"

"Come on, I didn't play any role. My dad said it was all your bad idea to Chairman Gu."

Hu Yinmeng felt a little frustrated. In the past few months, she had defeated the power of the Nine Dragons and Two Tigers on the island, but in the end, Yang Ye's bad idea didn't help.

Yang Ye said sternly: "Yinyin, without the efforts of you and our dad, my bad idea would only make people laugh to death."

This makes sense. If those people hadn't taken advantage of him, how could they have allowed this ridiculous idea to pass.

Just like when "The Shining" was released, Kubrick wanted to cut some bloody scenes into the trailer.

However, the MPAA stipulates that blood cannot appear in the trailers of non-restricted movies.

As a result, Kubrick mistook a deer for a horse and said it was paint, but he actually passed.

Are MPAA people stupid? Of course not, just spend money on public relations.

Reality is so magical!

It's the same now, Yang Ye insists on saying that "Rambo" was directed by Nick Young and has nothing to do with Yang Ye.

Those who took advantage of others wisely chose to shut up!
According to this routine, after "First Blood" is officially released on the island, "Shanghai Noon" can also be released.

Because it was taken by Jackie Chan, what does it have to do with Chen Long?

Yang Ye was very happy and said: "Yinyin, make a reservation tomorrow night and let's celebrate."

Hu Yinmeng said: "I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow." "Why not? Your relatives are here?"

"Bah! What are you thinking about? Someone is inviting you to drink tomorrow!"

"Who is it? With such grandeur, I still have to go?"

"They are two brothers, their surname is Xiang." Hu Yinmeng said, pulling out a post and handing it to Yang Ye.

Yang Ye opened the post and took a look at it, thought for a while, and said, "These two bad guys are not easy to mess with, so let's go there!"

Hu Yinmeng rolled his eyes: "Were you still arrogant just now?"

Yang Ye chuckled and asked, "Do our dad and their dad know each other?"

Hu Yinmeng said: "I know him, but I'm not familiar with him."

"You go with me tomorrow!"

Hu Yinmeng chuckled and said, "Are you asking me to embolden you?"

"Am I afraid of those two losers? One more thing is worse than one less thing! The Hong Kong film market is booming, and these two brothers want to make money in the film industry, so naturally they have to pay their respects to me!"

"Then you stay with me tonight."

……

Xiang Sheng said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Yang, Miss Hu, you two are here, it will make the plum blossoms shine!"

This guy wears a pair of glasses and looks kind-hearted. He has the air of a gentle scum, dressed like a beast.

His brother Xiang Zhenmian was more vicious than him, standing next to him like a bodyguard.

Yang Ye shook hands with the two brothers politely. Hu Yinmeng just snorted softly and set up the eldest lady chart.

Hu Yinmeng's father was much higher in rank than the two brothers' fathers, and he could show off in front of them.

Of course, she would never show off like this normally, but today she was supporting her man.

The two brothers did not show any dissatisfaction and politely invited them into the box.

After sitting down, Yang Ye said straight to the point: "Do you two want to make a movie?"

The two brothers looked at each other and Xiang Sheng said: "Mr. Yang is quick to speak quickly, that's right!"

"Why did you want to make movies?"

Xiang Sheng: "I have done a lot of business, but I still prefer to make movies. I hope to make more good-looking movies for the audience to enjoy. Then I feel very satisfied when I see the audience laughing and applauding in the theater, or applauding nervously. . These are feelings that cannot be bought with money."

This was a high-sounding statement, but Yang Ye didn't believe it at all.

He asked: "What do you two want me to do?"

Xiang Sheng said: "To be honest, we set up a film company five years ago. It was called Yongsheng at that time, Shengli Sheng. We made kung fu comedies with my brother as the protagonist. We made two movies at that time, one was "Sheng Sheng". "Zama" and "Liangshan Strange Moves", but it was a pity that the box office was not good in the end and the company went bankrupt."

"Later I realized that if a kung fu movie wants to be a hit, it must hire a kung fu star with a loud voice. And the most powerful kung fu stars in Hong Kong are all under your command, Mr. Yang. Naturally, we have to come to visit the pier."

"Well, who would you like to invite?"

Xiang Sheng didn't say to invite Yang Ye. In his opinion, it was impossible for Yang Ye, a boss, to come out to help others film. He said: "Chen Long!"

Yang Ye said: "Is there a script?"

"Of course!"

Xiang Sheng handed the script to Yang Ye, who glanced at it casually.

Rely on the defense!

Yang Ye put away the script and said: "I can understand the two of you wanting to do big things when you open a new company, but Aaron is too expensive, so I'm afraid it's not suitable!

"Shanghai Noon" grossed US$7000 million at the global box office, helping Aaron become a Hollywood star. His current salary has risen to US$ million. "

The two brothers looked at each other in shock. Xiang Zhen was a little more stunned than his brother, and blurted out: "That's a movie in Hollywood. Can't it be so expensive to shoot in Hong Kong?"

Yang Ye said: "If you are making a Hong Kong film, you can charge less, but it must be at least 1000 million Hong Kong dollars, otherwise there is no need to discuss it!

Moreover, if Aaron wants to start a show now, the investment amount will be less than 50 million Hong Kong dollars. Our company does not agree and is worried about ruining the brand. "

The two brothers couldn't come up with 50 million Hong Kong dollars at all, and Yang Ye made it clear that he was making things difficult.

Xiang Qi was so angry that he wanted to get angry on the spot, so Xiang Sheng quickly gave his brother a look to tell him to calm down.

Yang Ye is not easy to mess with. Zou Wenhuai and Fang Yihua were both punished by him, but they didn't even think about taking revenge afterward.

Although the two brothers have some backgrounds, the Kowloon Walled City behind Yang Ye is not a vegetarian.

Xiang Sheng pushed up his glasses and said politely: "I wonder why Mr. Yang teaches my brother?"

Yang Ye said: I think as a new company, you should not make such a big investment right from the start.

Let’s make it smaller first. It’ll be easy to make a profit, and it won’t hurt if you lose. You two are right! "

Although Yang Ye's words are very reasonable, he was too pretentious just now. He said that he would not accept investments less than 50 million. Xiang Sheng refused to show weakness and said: "This is true, but it is too small to play." If so, we’re not very interested!”

Yang Ye raised his thumbs and said: "Domineering! Now that you two have found me, I will give you a plan!"

The two brothers hurriedly listened attentively!
