Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 319 Ancient Boxing Techniques
Wu Jing followed Li Lianjie out of the airport and got into a BMW.

The car was speeding along, and Xiao Wu was lying beside the car window in shock, looking at the high-rise buildings and busy traffic outside, and he looked very excited: "Brother, Hong Kong is so beautiful!"

Li Lianjie smiled and said: "Brother will take you to Ocean Park tomorrow."

"Thank you, senior brother!" Wu Jing was extremely happy.

Li Lianjie took Wu Jing to play in Hong Kong for two days before taking him back to the Yang Family Martial Arts Hall to meet Yang Ye.

In the practice room, Yang Ye smiled and said: "Xiao Wu Jing, we meet again!"

Wu Jing said politely: "Hello, Uncle Yang!"

Yang Ye touched his little head and said, "Do you know what you are doing in Hong Kong?"

"I know, make a movie!"

"That's right, but before you make a movie, you have to learn a set of boxing techniques. I'll give you half a month. If you can't learn it, I'll send you back to the capital."

Wu Jing stood upright with his small body and said confidently: "I can definitely learn it!"

Yang Ye was happy: "You are very confident, let's warm up first!"

After Li Lianjie and Wu Jing finished warming up, they saw Yang Ye tie a bandage on his arm, get into a posture, and practice a set of boxing techniques.

This boxing technique has a total of twenty-four styles. The punch is powerful, the steps are as fast as flying, the skills are strong, and it is done in one go.

Yang Ye stopped and asked, "Do you understand?"

When Yang Ye was practicing boxing, Li Lianjie and Wu Jing were following him.

Both of them were geniuses in martial arts, and Yang Ye was not fast at fighting. After a set of boxing techniques, they had already seen a lot of them.

Wu Jing nodded, Yang Ye smiled and said: "What a boy!"

Li Lianjie said: "Master, isn't this Muay Thai?"

Yang Ye shook his head and said: "This is Aang Fist, also called Zhuang Fist and Wolf Fist. It is an ancient boxing technique popular in the southwest of my country. Like Muay Thai, it likes to use elbows and knees. The moves are very fierce. It is The mother boxing of Muay Thai is also known as 'Ancient Muay Thai'."

Li Lianjie suddenly realized: "No wonder it is so similar to Muay Thai."

Yang Ye said: "Xiao Wu Jing, I will teach you every move now. Ajie should also practice together."

Li Lianjie said: "Yes, Master!"

Yang Ye asked Wu Jing to play his childhood. He needed to shoot a set of boxing scenes, so he first called him to Hong Kong to teach him boxing.

You don’t have to actually practice it, just look like that.

But this kid is really talented. In less than a week, he has already practiced well.

……

Xu Feng walked into Yang Ye's office and said: "Prayut refused to star in Chachai."

Yang Ye asked: "Why?"

In Yang Ye's script, after Yang Ye came to Hong Kong, he defeated all the masters with fierce high fists. In order to deal with Yang Ye, the villain invited the Muay Thai king Chachai.

In the final BOSS battle, Yang Ye used high fists to fight against Chachai's Muay Thai and defeated him.

What Prayut means is that it doesn't matter if he is a villain, but being defeated by Yang Ye in the way in the movie will have an impact on the reputation of Muay Thai, so he won't do it!

Yang Ye said: "Does it matter what kind of punch you use to defeat him? He is my loser. Give him more money, double it. If he still doesn't do it, go find other Muay Thai masters. He is not the only Muay Thai champion." .”

"Okay! Wu Mengda is here, right outside."

"Let him in!"

……

"Young Master Yang, look for me!"

"I want to cast you as the second male lead in my new film. Are you interested?"

Second male lead?
Wu Mengda was so excited: "Yes!"

"I will go to the mainland to shoot this movie, you have to think carefully!"

"Go to the mainland..." Wu Mengda thought about it for a moment and said firmly: "No problem!"

Wu Mengtat did quite well in the past few years. He played Hu Tiehua in "Chu Liuxiang" and was very popular.

Later, due to bad gambling, he was often late for filming, and was hidden by TVB for a year.

Later, because of Zhou Runfa's plea, he was re-activated by TVB, but he only played some unimportant supporting roles with no future.

Ng Meng-ta had to wait until 1989 to partner with Zhou Xingchi before he became completely popular and became a prime supporting actor.

However, Zhou Xingchi has not gone to TVB now because Yang Ye opened the door three years ago and gave Zhou Xingchi a role with lines.

As a result, Zhou Xingchi was regarded differently by ATV. He played more important roles in many dramas and became the host of the show.

Some time ago, Zhou Xingchi was promoted by Yang Ye and became the emcee at the premiere of "Kowloon Walled City", which made him even more famous.

ATV started filming Gu Long's new drama "Peerless Two Prouds" and invited Zhou Xingchi to be the leading actor and play Xiao Yu'er.

The other protagonist of this drama, Hua Wuque, hired Liu Hua.

Zhou Xingchi became the leading actor for the first time, and he surpassed Liu Hua. It can be said that he reached the sky in one step.

Fortunately, there is no such thing as cancer these days. TV stations only have so many people. It is very common for you to play the leading role today and me to play the leading role tomorrow.

Yang Ye plans to let Zhou Xingchi film a TV series for two years to develop his funny style step by step, and then let him make a movie.

Before that, of course, Zhou Xingchi’s partner Wu Mengda must be found.

The second male lead in the movie "Boxing Fighter" is called A Hong, a fellow countryman of the protagonist, a young and Dangerous boy who is a bad gambler.

After Tonyja arrived in Bangkok, he asked him for help. As soon as he turned around, he defrauded Tonyja of his money and used it for gambling.

This kind of mean character fits Ng Meng-tat very well. There is no actor in Hong Kong who is more suitable than Ng Meng-tat.

……

In Wu Mengda's opinion, playing the second male lead in Yang Ye's new film is simply a matter of one step to success. Even if he is banned, it is still worth a try.

Moreover, Yang Ye has a very good reputation in the industry. If he is banned in Taiwan for starring in Yang Ye's movies, Yang Ye will not leave him alone.

So he only thought about it for a few seconds before giving a positive answer.

Yang Ye smiled and said, "You are from TVB. If you take my role, aren't you afraid that Fang Yihua will be unhappy?"

Wu Mengda grinned: "I'm just a small player in Wireless, Miss Fang won't care. Besides, with Mr. Yang protecting me, I have nothing to be afraid of!"

Yang Ye smiled and said: "In that case, go find General Manager Chen and ask him to help you transfer the contract to Yang Ji!"

Ng Meng-ta is not an important actor in TVB, so it doesn't cost much to switch him.

Wu Mengda was so happy that he nodded and bowed: "Thank you, Mr. Yang!"

Yang Ye smiled: "You go first."

"Then I'm leaving, bye!"

As soon as Wu Mengda opened the door, Yang Ye said from behind: "By the way, you don't have to go to the mainland to shoot your movie, so you don't have to worry about being blocked in Taiwan."

Wu Mengda was startled and thought to himself: Damn it, if I had just hesitated for a few more seconds, the good thing about this pie in the sky would have nothing to do with me?
……

When Yang Ye was preparing for a new film, Xu Ke's "New Shushan Swordsman" staged a shocking blockbuster.

The super-strong lineup of Lin Qingxia, Hong Jingbao, Cheng Shaoqiu, Yuen Biao, Li Saifeng, and Liu Songyan finally only collected less than 2 million at the box office, which shocked everyone. When this drama was first released at midnight, it attracted a lot of people to watch it, but after watching it, it received rave reviews.

Amidst all the cries of "hit the street" and "bad movie", sugar canes flew towards the screen.

Jiahe panicked and immediately held a meeting to discuss how to modify the film.

But... this is a special effects blockbuster. Once the special effects are done, they cannot be changed.

Changing it would require redoing the special effects, which would also cost money.

Now that things are like this, how can Jiahe dare to continue to spend money, so he can only bite the bullet.

Unexpectedly, misfortune never comes singly, and it bumped into New Art City's "Prying the Corner" and Yindu Agency's "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace", both of which were blockbusters with box office exceeding 10 million.

"New Shushan Swordsman" can only end up with a violent death.

Speaking of the movie "New Shushan Swordsman", the reviews given by the industry are still very good.

Character modeling, costume design, action design, scene design, props, light composition, and atmosphere creation all have merit.

The character modeling, especially Lin Qingxia, is the most outstanding, so beautiful that it makes people dizzy. The white silk flutters and looks like a fairy, and its fighting scenes are also full of fairy spirit. The looks of Zheng Shaoqiu, Li Saifeng and others are also very good.

The scene design refers to Buddhist statues, and the Dunhuang murals are particularly eye-catching. In the ancient tomb, Chinese classical bronzes are mixed with the shape of the evil Bodhisattva, giving it a sense of the times.

The light composition shows the typical color scene style of Xu Ke’s future Jianghu films. The colors are bold and lively, and the few pictures are full of a sense of worldliness.

The atmosphere creation, the appearance of the sword fairy in white and the appearance of the Yaochi fairy are all particularly eye-catching.

Unfortunately, too many gags severely weaken the film's fairy tales and salvation themes.

The overflowing spiritual energy cannot save the fragmentation and dissonance of the overall storyline, leaving the audience confused.

There is also the combination of purple and green swords. It is a bit eye-catching to find two not-so-good-looking men, Yuan Biao and Meng Hai, to combine.

What have you seen before about the combination of two swords? For example, Liu Hua and Chen Yulian in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Liu Songren and Michelle in "The Shadow of the Condor Heroes".

Handsome guys and beauties are very eye-catching. If you find two ugly guys to hook up with your grandma, it’s a bad review!
"Blade Runner" and "New Shushan Swordsman" hit the market one after another and lost all their money, putting Jiahe on the verge of collapse.

In fact, if he had not received the Seven Little Blessings, Jiahe would have died long ago.

It's just that Zou Wenhuai caught the new wave of directors again and extended his life.

……

Xinyi City, struggling room.

Mai Jia said cowardly: "Old Xu has made Jiahe miserable!"

Shi Tian was a little scared and said: "Fortunately, we didn't agree to Lao Xu's investment in this blockbuster movie."

Huang Baiming said: "Actually, I think this drama is pretty good, but if the audience doesn't like it, there's nothing we can do about it."

Teddy Robin said: "I think Lao Xu is still very talented. Let's call him back!"

Shi Tian said: "For Nan Sheng's sake, we have to call Lao Xu back! Besides, Zeng Zhiwei has left, and "The Best Partner" will start filming soon, but there is no director. I think we can call Lao Xu back as the director. "

Although Zeng Zhiwei is one of the "Seven Eccentrics of New Art City" and the director of two "Best Partner" films, he only works part-time and has no equity.

He did more work than Maijia and the others, but got the least money, so he was already unhappy.

Some time ago, he was roped in by the Xiang brothers to direct Yong Sheng's venture "Big Bad", which turned out to be a good start with a box office of over 10 million.

Xiang Huasheng was very happy and generously sealed a red envelope of 200,000 yuan to Zeng Zhiwei.

At this time, Zeng Zhiwei had been married twice and had four children to raise. He also spent time drinking and playing with women. He was under great financial pressure, so he simply left!
However, this guy is very good at being a good person. Although he left New Art City, he did not break up with everyone and still maintained a good relationship. Later, Zeng Zhiwei made several more New Art City movies.

Mai Jia said: "Tell Nan Sheng and ask her to call Lao Xu back!"

Everyone nodded, but Shi Tian said: "One more thing. Jiahe has been so aggressive this time. I think I can't hold it anymore. We should discuss with Boss Lei and buy Jiahe's theater chain."

Mai Jia said: "Not only Golden Harvest can't hold on, I think Shaw Brothers can't hold on either. Now the box office record of Hong Kong movies is only one step away from 30 million, but Shaw Brothers hasn't even had a box office of 10 million." The movie wasn’t even made.”

Huang Baiming said a little speechlessly: "Now our and Yang Ji's movies are the most popular, but they are crowded together, and the theaters can't line up at all. The theaters of Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers are empty, and there are no movies to show. It's really ridiculous!"

Mai Jia said: "Let's go talk to Boss Lei tomorrow!"

……

Yang Ye found Yuan Kui and Jet Li to partner up, and naturally he wanted to start filming "Fang Shiyu".

Yang Ye handed over the outline of the script and character settings to Yuan Kui and Li Lianjie, and then said: "I have drawn up a list of actors for you. You can invite them yourself. However, these people are not easy to recruit. It depends on your ability. Put them together. Now, let’s go to Manager Yang to withdraw the budget and start filming.”

When Yuan Kui and Li Lianjie saw it, they were immediately surprised.

It goes without saying that the male lead Fang Shiyu is Jet Li, and the female lead Lei Tingting is also very suitable as Guan Zhilin.

(The original version was Li Jiaxin, but Li Jiaxin is only 13 years old now, and it will be the same if she is replaced by Guan Zhilin.)
Fang Shiyu's mother is Miao Cuihua, and Yang Ye is destined to be Xiao Fangfang.

Damn it, Xiao Fangfang went to study in the United States. If you want to invite her, you have to go to the United States!
Fang Shiyu’s godfather is Chen Jialuo, and Yang Ye is destined to be Zheng Shaoqiu.

Damn it, Zheng Shaoqiu is from Wireless, how can I invite him here?
The heroine Lei Tingting's mother is Li Xiaohuan, and Yang Yeding's Zheng Peipei. Zheng Peipei is an artist of Yang Ji, which is okay.

(The original version was Hu Huizhong, but Hu Huizhong is four years older than Guan Zhilin. It would be inappropriate to choose her now.)
The main villain, Admiral Jiumen, is actually Donnie Yen. (The original version of Zhao Wenzhuo is still about age. Zhao Wenzhuo is only 11 years old now.)
Donnie Yen is currently filming in Taiwan with Yuan Heping. I don’t know when the filming will be. How to coordinate the schedule?

It's easy to say that Fang Shiyu's father, Fang De, has chosen Guanshan.

But Lei Tingting’s father, Lei Hu, has chosen Chen Songyong.

Who is Chen Songyong? Never heard of it.

When the two inquired about it, they found out that they were actually Taiwanese who were riding horses. Wasn't this a deliberate attempt to cause problems?

But they also knew that this was Yang Ye's test for them.

Simply being a director or actor is just a tool and you can't make much money.

Opening a movie studio is like being your own boss, and you can earn several times more.

Therefore, this level must be passed!
……

Yuan Kui and Li Lianjie took the list and looked miserable, trying their best to invite people.

Yang Ye became a father again, and Yamaguchi Momoe gave birth to a son for him, named Yang Sheng.

Out of respect for his wife, Yang Ye asked Yamaguchi Momoe: "Momohui, do you want to give the baby a nickname?"

Yamaguchi Momoe thought for a while and said, "Can I call you Taro?"

Yang Ye shook his head like a rattle: "Inappropriate! Inappropriate!"

"why?"

"Taro is Da Lang. In China, no one would take this name. On some specific occasions, it would make people laugh to death. For example, one day when he was sick, you said, Da Lang, get up and take medicine! That's really It’s going to kill someone!”

After Yang Ye finished speaking, he gave Yamaguchi Momoe a popular science story about Wu Dalang. After hearing this, Yamaguchi Momoe looked embarrassed.

"Then come and give your son a nickname!"

Yang Ye thought for a while and said: "It's easy to make a living with a bad name, so just call it Niba!"

Yamaguchi Momoe looked at her son in confusion: "Little Niba?"

……

After taking care of Momoe Yamaguchi's confinement, Yang Ye took Xiao Wu Jing and a group of production staff to the mainland to shoot "Boxing Fighter" in Xishuangbanna!
Before leaving, Yang Ye called Hu Yinmeng over and told her something: "Yinyin, I went to the Shouchen Theater a few days ago and accidentally saw a one-act play performed by a middle school there. What's it called..."Zhu Xiucai"? You ask someone to inquire about it and buy the script."
