Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 318 New film two-in-one
Yang Ye hugged Li Saifeng, and the two flirted while walking.

Chen Long, who was sitting by the flower bed, suddenly whistled in their direction.

Yang Ye frowned, let go of Li Saifeng and walked over. Li Saifeng quickly grabbed him: "Forget it, don't be troublesome!"

"In this case, is it still a man if you don't take action?"

Yang Ye said to Chen Long: "Did you whistle just now?"

"Yes!"

"Why are you so nasty!"

"What did you say?"

"Despicable behavior!"

"Say it again?"

"Look at your virtue!"

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Li Saifeng quickly stepped forward and hugged Yang Ye: "Stop talking, let's go!"

After taking two steps, Chen Long came up to grab Yang Ye, and the two started fighting each other.

While they were fighting, Li Saifeng shouted from the side: "Stop fighting, stop fighting!"

When a man is fighting, a woman yelling at the side to stop fighting is equivalent to shouting for "come on," so the two of them fight even more energetically.

Because the moves have been prepared in advance, the fighting is very smooth and fancy.

After fighting for a minute, the two of them each took out their pistols and IDs: "Don't move, I'm in plainclothes!"

Chen Long said: "Say it earlier, we are one of our own!"

Yang Ye said arrogantly: "You're not injured, are you?"

"I'm not that easy to get hurt. If I don't hurt someone, he's lucky!"

Li Saifeng ran over, hugged Yang Ye's arm, and said with concern: "Are you okay?"

Chen Long said: "Your girlfriend looks very scared!"

Yang Ye said: "Yes, she is afraid that I will hurt someone!"

"Let's go!" Li Saifeng pulled Yang Ye and left!

……

A simple cameo, shot quickly.

Yang Ye said goodbye to Hong Jingbao, Chen Long and others, and left the set with Li Saifeng.

In fact, in the original version, Yuen Biao and Li Saifeng made guest appearances.

Li Saifeng hugged Yang Ye's arm and asked, "Master, when will their movie be released?"

"It's summer vacation! Wherever you go later, I'll give you a ride!"

"Ah, I haven't thought about it yet!"

"No filming today?"

"I've been filming the scene where Brother Biao and the others play football these past few days. It's none of my business."

"So that's it!"

"Master, where will you go later?"

"I just finished the concert and plan to take a rest. I will go out to sea and go fishing on Lantau Island later!"

"Can I go?"

"sure!"

……

The evening breeze was blowing, and a yacht was moored in the middle of the sea.

Yang Ye and Li Saifeng were sitting on the yacht, happily eating grilled fish.

"Master, I didn't expect you to be so good at fishing!"

"There are just a lot of fish here."

“But I didn’t even catch a few!”

"look!"

Yang Ye pointed to the sea, Li Saifeng turned around and exclaimed: "Wow!"

It turned out that the lights on the yacht were bright, and a large group of cuttlefish were attracted by the lights.

These cuttlefish are small, and their bodies emit little bits of fluorescence. Together, they make the sea surface look like a starry sky.

"So many cuttlefish!"

This scene was very dreamy. Li Saifeng was lying on the edge of the boat and couldn't help but reach out to fish. However, Yang Ye touched her shoulder and pointed to the starry sky above her head.

The stars in the sky were brilliant and the sea was dotted with fluorescent lights. The two of them felt like they were wandering in the boundless universe.

……

Li Saifeng and Yang Ye were lying side by side on the deck, looking at the boundless starry sky, and suddenly asked: "Master, which girl am I to lie here with you and watch the stars?"

Yang Ye turned sideways, said nothing, and stretched out a finger!
"The first one?" Li Saifeng didn't believe it, and then blushed: "Master, you are lying!"

Yang Ye shook his head: "I didn't lie to you. This is my secret base. I never bring anyone here."

"Then...why did you bring me here?"

"Because you said you were coming!"

"Oh!"

Yang Ye stopped talking, rested his head on his hands, and continued to look up at the stars.

The air became very quiet. Li Saifeng pinched the corner of his clothes with his hands and asked with some anxiety: "Master, why are you so nice to me?"

"Because Master likes you!" Yang Ye said matter-of-factly.

"what?"

"Ah what?"

"What kind of... do you like it?" Li Saifeng's face was almost red to the ears, but luckily there was darkness to cover it up.

Yang Ye came over and said softly: "The one you want!"

Li Saifeng still wanted to speak, but a sweet kiss sealed her lips.

……

After more than a year of work, the production of "Book, Sword, Enmity and Enmity" was finally completed
The film started from Jin Yong's hometown Haining, Zhejiang, and ended at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. It traveled tens of thousands of kilometers and went through many hardships.

After the film was completed, the production staff from Hong Kong came back first, while the people from the mainland did not come until before the premiere.

Yang Ye asked Yuan Kui, who is working as a producer and martial arts instructor: "How does it feel to film in the Mainland?"

Yuan Kui said: "Fortunately, it's just a little troublesome. We filmed in Hong Kong, and we can develop and print the film on the same day after filming.

This is not possible in the Mainland. After filming, you can only send it to a local film studio for development and then transfer to magnetic tape.

Sometimes it takes half a month to send the film over. We are worried about missing scenes or something, so we can only wait where we are. "

Yang Ye asked: "Please take a look at the picture!"

Yuan Kui said: "We have collected them, but they are all original materials and it is still difficult to distinguish them, so it wasted a lot of time."

Yang Ye thought for a while and said: "If I go to the mainland to film in the future, I will add an on-site editing position."

Yuan Kui asked: "What is on-site editing?"

Yang Ye said: "I just bring a powerful editor over there, take out the scenes after shooting every day, and ask the editor to build a temporary structure for the director to see, so that he can know if anything has been missed."

Yuan Kui's eyes lit up and he said, "Young Master Yang, you still have a way!"

He paused and then said: "Young Master Yang, it's more enjoyable to film with you. Every shot is clear and there is never a missed shot."

Yang Ye smiled and patted Yuan Kui on the shoulder: "What's the point of following me? You have to be on your own. The movie "Dragon Ninja" that Wu Siyuan lent you to film last year was quite good, and it also made Li Yuanba famous. !" Yuan Kui shook his head and said: "Don't mention this bad guy!"

Li Yuanba was a newcomer signed by Wu Siyuan. He had great kung fu and looked somewhat similar to Chen Long. Wu Siyuan wanted to make him the second best to Chen Long, so he spent a lot of money to support him.

Yuan Kui was specially invited to be the director, and Hiroyuki Sanada co-starred with him. "Dragon Ninja" was a box office hit in both Japan and Hong Kong.

As a result, this guy became crazy and was so crazy that Wu Siyuan was forced to hide this guy in the snow.

Yang Ye asked: "What do you think of Ajie?"

Yuan Kui praised: "Awesome, his movements are very chic, I think he is second only to you!"

Yang Ye smiled and said, "How is your relationship?"

"It's pretty good. He respects me very much, and I like him very much!"

"In that case, you guys just become a pair. I'll get you a script later. If it goes well, I'll help you set up a film studio!"

Yuan Kui was overjoyed. Chen Long, Hong Jingbao and McDonald's studios were all making money.

"Then I will definitely do it well!"

The only thing that makes Li Lianjie inferior to Chen Long is that he doesn't have the ability to make a movie by himself.

He basically can't do such jobs as director and martial arts instructor.

In the original time and space, he also worked as a director and filmed a movie "Heroes of China", which was always ugly!

For the sake of the box office, I let the girl show off her face. The girl is really beautiful, but the box office still refused to recognize her.

If Li Lianjie wants to make a successful movie, he must have a good director and martial arts instructor. The top partners are of course Xu Ke and Yuan Heping, followed by Yuan Kui.

Yuan Kui and Jet Li have collaborated on many classic works, including two "Fang Shiyu", "The Five New Shaolin Ancestors", "Letter to Dad", and "The Bodyguard of Zhongnanhai".

When Li Lianjie later entered Hollywood, he had to take Yuan Kui with him. If Yuan Kui didn't go, he would feel unsure.

In this case, Yang Ye might as well form a team for them and build a movie studio!

……

"Book of Swords" is the second movie adapted from Jin Yong's novel by Baiyang Pictures. It is written by Jin Yong himself. It is also the first movie in which Jet Li takes the leading role since he became famous. Naturally, the promotion should be more grand.

In addition to advertising in newspapers and TV stations, a premiere was also held. In addition to the film's main creative staff, Jin Yong and Yang Ye also attended.

This movie has two characteristics. The first is that it was shot in real locations, with real mountains and rivers. The movie also specially included the Qiantang River tide, which shocked the Hong Kong audience.

The second one is Li Lianjie, Yu Chenghui, Yu Hai and others' kung fu, they are very good-looking when they fight.

The plot is just a bit boring. The novel Shujian originated from the fact that the Han people had no hope of regaining their country, and the story about Qianlong was made up of Han people.

Jin Yong developed this story and created Chen Jialuo, Qianlong's biological brother, as the protagonist, and wrote his debut novel.

The whole novel is roughly about the story that Yu Wanting, the chief rudder of the Red Flower Society, knew Chen Jialuo's life experience, so he accepted him as his disciple and passed him on to the position of chief rudder. He hoped that with Chen Jialuo's special identity, he could fight against the Qing Dynasty, restore the Ming Dynasty, and restore the Han people. country.

This is naturally wishful thinking. Qianlong knew about this and would only try to kill Chen Jialuo and cover up the fact. There was no second plan!
Because he is already the emperor. After listening to the Red Flower Club, and after a lot of tossing, even if he wins, he is still the emperor, full of food?
Novel authors of this era have no courage to change history, so Chen Jialuo is destined to fail.

The ending of this novel is known from the beginning, so it seems unsatisfactory.

Especially at the end, Jin Yong also made a cool move.

Qianlong agreed to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, but he made a condition that Chen Jialuo give Princess Xiangxiang to him to play with.

Damn... Chen Jialuo actually agreed.

This operation really makes people scream!

After Qianlong played with Princess Xiangxiang, he planned to wipe out the Red Flower Club in one fell swoop.

In the end, Princess Xiangxiang committed suicide and reported the news with her life. A group of people from the Honghua Society were able to escape and returned to Xinjiang.

Only half of "Jiangnan Shu Sword Love" was filmed. The story tells that the Red Flower Society kidnapped Qianlong and imprisoned him in the Liuhe Pagoda.

Qianlong and Chen Jialuo brothers recognized each other. In order to escape, Qianlong agreed to help the Red Flower Society fight against the Qing Dynasty, restore the Ming Dynasty, and restore the Han people!

Honghuahui stupidly let Qianlong go.

……

The story is just that, no matter how you adapt it, you can't make it better.

Moreover, it was Jin Yong who adapted it himself, and it was even more impossible to subvert the original work, so his script only deleted the branches and leaves and retained the main body.

The last word to describe this movie is: the scenery is beautiful, the fighting is exciting, the plot is bland, Jin Yong is very satisfied!
He adapted it himself, but the director didn't dare to touch his script and restored it directly for him. Of course he was satisfied!

However, just for the Jiangnan scenery, the spring tide in Qiantang, and the exciting fights between several martial artists in the movie, this movie is worth the price of admission.

In the end, the box office in Hong Kong was 11 million Hong Kong dollars, which was pretty good and maintained Jet Li's reputation.

Including the second part, the total box office is over 20 million. With this box office, you are qualified to make money overseas.

Oh, there is also the mainland, but the copyright in the mainland is directly given to Beijing Film Studio. How much it sells for has nothing to do with Yang Ye's dime.

"Jiangnan Book of Swords" was released in July, and "Five Lucky Stars" will be released immediately, with a box office of 2200 million, making Hong Jingbao very proud.

Immediately, the names of Yang Ye, Chen Long and Li Saifeng were put on the film, and it was released in Japan. Although Yang Ye and Li Saifeng were only supporting roles, and Chen Long did not have many roles, it still sold a box office of 15 billion yen.

……

Xu Guanjie's Coliseum concert was the first external business received by "Celebrity Performing Arts Company". Yang Ye took the initiative personally and provided many creative ideas. It was ultimately a complete success, with fifteen concerts held in a row and all the concerts were sold out.

After deducting costs, the net profit this time was over 10 million, split 50-50 between the company and Xu Guanjie. Xu Guanjie made nearly 8 million from this concert.

He couldn't earn so much in several movies, and he laughed so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes.

After finishing Xu Guanjie's concert by himself, Yang Ye directly left it to Leslie Cheung to handle Alan Tam's concert later.

Yang Ye continues to shoot his new film.

As a top action actor in the film industry, Yang Ye must maintain his appeal so that others will obey him.

If he falls, people's hearts will disperse, so he must continue to output new films.

What Yang Ye is going to make this time is to combine two Thai movies, Tony Jaa's "Boxing Fighter" and "Tom Yum Kung" into one movie.

In 2003, the movie "Boxing Fighter" turned out, which made Tony Jaa instantly famous and shocked the world. Many people thought that he had surpassed Chen Long.

However, several sequels were made later, all of which were responses.

There was only one "Tom Yum Kung" that was pretty good, but it ended up being a sequel, again relying on the defense.

The lack of local film talent in Thailand could not support Tony Jaa's action movie dream. Later, he went to Hollywood and Hong Kong, but he failed to succeed.

In the end, it was just a flash in the pan.

Since Tony Jia only had two pieces available, Yang Ye wanted to pluck them all, so he might as well pluck them all in one go.

There is not much difference in the plots of "Boxing Fighter" and "Tom Yum Kung".

"Fighter" tells the story of a Buddha head being stolen in a village. Tony Jaa went to Bangkok to find the Buddha head, beating him all the way, and finally recovered the Buddha head.

"Tom Yum Goong" tells the story of Tony Jaa's elephant being stolen. Tony Jaa went to Sydney to find his elephant, beating it all the way, and recovered the elephant's two teeth...

Yang Ye directly modified the plot and merged the two movies into one movie.

After modification, the story takes place in a quiet and peaceful small village in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan.

The villagers work at sunrise and rest at sunset, living a peaceful and quiet life.

They use elephants as transportation and assistants, and a deep friendship has been established between humans and animals.

Yang Ye's identity is A Tian, ​​a young man from the Dai ethnic group. He practices boxing every day and also raises an elephant.

On the day of the Water Splashing Festival, a gangster in the village stole the elephant raised by A Tian and sold it to Hong Kong to make huge profits.

Without hesitation, A-Tian heads to Hong Kong alone, embarking on a road full of dangers of death.

In fact, there is no plot in these two movies. The male protagonist is just like playing a game, playing all the way through the levels.

The key is that the action design must be exciting and beautiful!

Yang Ye has been around for so many years, and has long been good at action design. When filming, he no longer completely reproduces the original version.

Moreover, Yang Ye is a Chinese and certainly cannot completely copy Tony Jaa’s Muay Thai.

Therefore, Yang Ye moved out "Ang Fist", which is popular in the southwest border area of ​​China and is known as "Ancient Muay Thai"!
