Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Mai Jia, Shi Tian and Huang Baiming drove to Dong Lai Plaza in Mong Kok to watch the screening of "Happy Ghost".

As soon as I arrived at the scene, I was surprised by the lively atmosphere.

Huang Baiming couldn't help complaining: "It's so shocking to you that we even invited a lion dance team!"

Mai Jiandao: "Yang Ye's movies have always been wildly promoted. When the box office in Hong Kong was only 20 million, he dared to spend 3 million on publicity. He didn't care whether he made money or not."

Shi Tiandao: "He doesn't rely on the local box office. The Hong Kong box office is just an indicator of his sales."

Huang Baiming said: "It's different this time. This is not a movie he made."

Mai Jia said: "The Girls' Generation he created brought together nine girls from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea. Can't you see how ambitious he is?"

This man's eyes are never on the small Hong Kong Island. He is looking at the global market, at least the Asian market.

Sometimes I feel that Hong Kong Island is just a testing ground for this person? "

Shi Tian asked strangely: "Experimental field?"

Maijia said: "Yes, this person came out ten years ago and has promoted various business methods.

For example, in the past, the common practice for making movies was to start shooting in a low-key manner. He invited a large number of reporters to hold a launch conference, and the entire shooting process continued to maintain exposure, thus attracting the attention of a large number of citizens.

After the film is finished filming, the common practice is to wait for the midnight release to test the audience's reaction, but he held a grand premiere.

After the movie was released, the common approach was to ignore it and think about the next movie, but he went to the theater for a road show during the release.

This time, we have come up with a new way to play point-and-shoot movies. Every time he makes a move, he will change the status quo of the industry. Our current business model is all learned from him. "

Shi Tian thought about it and said, "That's really the case!"

Makka said: "Hong Kong Island is small, allowing this person to implement all his fantastic ideas. Once successful, he can implement them in a larger market, so I say Hong Kong Island is his experimental field.

We have always regarded him as an opponent, but in fact he has never regarded us as an opponent at all. On the road of film, he is the teacher of all of us! "

The group parked the car and entered Donglai Plaza. Wearing their caps, they headed to the theater on the fifth floor. They found that the place was crowded with boys and girls, some even wearing school uniforms.

Many people don't have tickets at all, they just come to see Girls' Generation.

With so many customers, the handicraft store, game arcade, video store, and bookstore on the fifth floor are almost laughing to death, and business is booming.

A dozen of Rambo knives, priced at 298 each, were sold in one morning. These were only consumed by boys, and some small items that girls liked were sold like crazy.

Girls' Generation's records, tapes, and posters were immediately cleared out of the video store.

Girls' Generation has only debuted for half a month, and it has already caused such a huge response among the youth groups in Hong Kong.

In fact, to put it bluntly, there is nothing surprising. These girls are all from Yang Ye Yanxuan. They are extremely good-looking and were once very popular in the original time and space.

Young people always like to follow trends, and Yang Ye creates it for them. The costumes, dances, and songs designed are extremely youthful and fashionable.

In the album "You Are the Most Popular", the five songs all come from the hit songs of the super-popular Hong Kong group Twins.

In addition to "You Are the Most Popular", which was a hit at the New Year's Eve concert, the other four songs "Girls' School Boys", "Caritas Secret Love Tuition Club", "Kite and Wind", and "Love Is Bigger Than Heaven" were all hits.

The content of the lyrics and music expresses the little thoughts of young girls, crushes on seniors, and friendships between classmates.

The remaining five songs are all famous songs from the Korean girl group Girls' Generation. "The World We Meet Again", "Gee", "Oh! 》are all listed among them.

Each song's MV has a dancing scene. These girls have been practicing for at least two years, and their skills are still very good.

And the unique crab leg dance is extremely brainwashing. Naturally, as soon as it was launched, it was crazily pursued by countless boys and girls, treating them as goddesses!

……

Three old guys followed a group of young people into the venue, looking a little out of place, which made them a little embarrassed.

But they soon discovered that they were not the only ones.

This movie theater has more than 500 seats, and there are still some middle-aged men like them.

After all, no matter how old a man is, he loves a young girl deeply.

The movie started quickly, and it opened in a ruined temple with heavy rain outside.

With eerie filters and weird and terrifying music, a man hangs in front of a statue of a god.

The hanging rope swayed and swayed, and I arrived in Hong Kong in 1984.

Following a burst of cheerful singing, five young and beautiful girls appeared on the screen.

These five people are naturally the five members of Girls' Generation. In addition to the three heroines Zhou Huimin, Xiao Qiang, and Tianhai Yuxi, Zhang Min and Qiu Shuzhen also have guest appearances.

The three people from Maijia didn't care about this. They just wanted to see what magic this movie had that made it worth the effort that Baiyang Pictures spent on promoting it.

Unfortunately, after watching it from beginning to end, I didn't find anything strange.

The story is actually very simple. During the Qing Dynasty, a scholar named Zhu Jinchun was hanged. His ghost was attached to the hanging rope and was brought back to school by Lin Jingjing, played by Zhou Huimin.

Then Zhu Xiucai helped three little girls cheat in exams, cheat in sports competitions, etc. and caused a lot of trouble.

There are also laughs, and they are very dense, as evidenced by the laughter that breaks out from time to time in the theater.

However... the three of them, Maijia, didn't see anything special about this movie.

Majia asked: "What do you think?"

Shi Tiandao: "The photography is very good, and the comedy is also good. It's a bit similar to Lao Huang's style."

Huang Baiming is the penman of New Art City. He has written many scripts, and he writes scripts very quickly. It usually only takes a week to finish a script. If it is faster, it can be completed in two or three days. The disadvantage is that it is extremely routine.

Therefore, anyone with a discerning eye can see what Huang Baiming wrote at a glance, let alone Mai Jia and Shi Tian, ​​two people who are close to Huang Baiming.

Huang Baiming also looked confused and murmured: "It's really similar to my style!"

Mai Jiandao: "This shows that we are not only learning from Yang Ye, but Yang Ye is also learning from us. Lao Huang, you should be proud!"

Huang Baiming thought about it, it makes sense, even Yang Ye imitates me, doesn't that prove that I am awesome? But he didn't know why, he just couldn't be happy, and he felt like there was a turbid air in his heart that he couldn't get rid of.

At the end of the movie, the three girls all graduated and had a new life. Xiao Qiang gave birth to a son, but he looked like Zhang Xueyou inexplicably.

When her husband Li Ming heard this, he stepped forward and said fiercely: "Zhu Bangjing, right? Call me daddy!"

The baby cried loudly, but the cinema burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha!" The movie ends.

Subsequently, a group of main creators appeared on the stage. Zhang Xueyou has recently become famous for singing and playing the role of a happy ghost in the movie. His comedy talent was fully utilized and he was warmly welcomed.

As soon as Zhang Xueyou appeared on the stage, he sang "Happy Ghost", the theme song of "Happy Ghost".

"Being optimistic and open-minded (happy ghost, happy ghost)

I worry every day that no one can control me (I can’t control me)

Always pretending to be ignorant and deceitful (happy ghost, happy ghost)..."

While singing, he winked and did his best to make the audience laugh.

The appearance of Li Ming caused a burst of screams. This guy is 1.8 meters tall, as tall as a jade tree in the wind, and he is still in his youth, so fresh and tender.

When the movie just opened, they were camping on the beach. Li Ming sat in front of the tent, holding a guitar and singing love songs to several girls, which fascinated the girls in the theater.

Now, Liming is wearing a white shirt and holding a guitar, recreating the scene in the movie again.

"Will you come tonight, will your love still exist? I just want to have you with me in the future, to accompany me and fall in love..."

The image of the affectionate Prince Charming made the girls in the theater crazy.

Although this guy doesn't have many roles in the movie, with his outstanding looks and the song "Will You Come Tonight" created for him by Yang Ye, it's hard not to become popular.

The last one to appear was of course Girls' Generation, and the nine little girls did not hesitate to do a crab dance on the spot, causing bursts of crazy screams.

The content of the movie was not discussed at all, and director Madang Jie simply did not appear.

Just Zhang Xueyou led the team, led Dawn, and Girls' Generation, and one person sang a song, and it was done. The next step is to sign autographs. In addition to the audience in the theater, fans outside the theater can also come in and sign autographs.

Those young people lined up excitedly, holding Girls' Generation albums, just to say a word to their idols.

"Vivian, you sing beautifully!"

"Amami Yuki, you dance so cool!"

Since it is an idol group, it has a lead singer and a lead dancer.

Girls' Generation has two lead singers. When they were active in China, the lead singer was Zhou Huimin. When I went to Japan to perform, the lead singer became Kudo Shizuka.

They are the only two people in the whole group who have decent singing skills, so they are responsible for the most difficult part of singing the climax of a song.

The lead dancer is Amami Yuki. She originally danced ballet and has very good basic skills.

If Yang Ye hadn't poached her, she would have been admitted to Japan's most famous Takarazuka Opera Troupe and become the lead actor.

The otaku is the male part of the opera, and the girl's part is called the otaku.

Yuki Amami's partner is Yoshio Mano. There are a lot of CP fans of these two people on the Internet, and they still stubbornly believe that they are gay.

Yang Ye was most annoyed by gay people, so when he went to Japan to pick someone up, he didn't bring Mano back.

However, Amami Yuki is indeed a handsome girl. I don’t know if she will be raped by other girls in the group again.

……

Naturally, Maijia and others would not come forward to ask for autographs, and they left quickly.

After watching the movie and watching these crazy fans, they probably understand.

Although the movie "Happy Ghost" is somewhat interesting, it is still inferior compared to their "Better Days 3".

In terms of movie quality alone, "Happy Ghost" cannot possibly beat "The Best of Us".

However, the selling point of "Happy Ghost" is not the movie itself, but the comeback of the child star Liming, and the explosive popularity of Girls' Generation. Just look at the crazy look of those fans.

Mai Jiandao: "After a long time, Yang Ye is not selling movies at all, but selling stars."

Shi Tiandao: "The most bizarre thing is that more than half a month ago, those little girls were not celebrities."

Huang Baiming said: "So, Yang Ye knew early on that Girls' Generation would definitely become popular."

Mai Jia said: "You will understand when you understand how Girls' Generation was born.

Among them, Zhou Huimin is Yang Ye's neighbor and has known her since childhood.

Three Taiwanese girls were Yang Ye's backup singers when he held a concert in Taipei nine years ago.

The four of them followed Yang Ye on a world tour.

The next five came back one after another when Yang Ye was filming in Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong.

Among them, the one with the shortest time has also received two years of systematic training.

They are trained by top people such as dancer Mao Mei, musician Wu Dajiang, and super idol Yamaguchi Momoe.

It can be said that Yang Ye spent a lot of effort on them. It would be strange if they were not popular.

Do you know Akina Nakamori who became famous in Japan? In fact, she also trained with these girls, but she was older and debuted first. "

Shi Tian asked strangely: "How do you know so clearly?"

Mai Jia said coquettishly: "There are so many beauties coming out at once, of course I want to inquire about them!"

Shi Tiandao: "Then do you think we can win during the Spring Festival?"

"I don't know, it's already like this, let's just leave it to fate!"

……

It’s New Year’s Eve in the blink of an eye!

The Yang family took matters into their own hands and led the two little guys, Yang Ritian and Yang Tudou, to put up Spring Festival couplets inside and outside. They were very busy.

It has only been more than ten years since polygamy was abolished in Hong Kong. Now many Hong Kong families still maintain polygamous relationships with a large number of children.

After the law was promulgated, many wealthy families did not abide by it and continued to maintain outhouses.

Situations like Yang Ye's can be seen everywhere and are not uncommon.

In the past, Yang Ye would be extremely troubled when the Chinese New Year came, because... he didn't know which house to go to to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Everyone wanted to spend the New Year with him, so he favored one and favored others, and he couldn't neglect anyone.

This year, Yang Ye simply acted as a parent and asked his wives to bring their children over to celebrate the New Year together!

At first, several women were unwilling, but they couldn't stand Yang Ye's hard work and finally got what he wanted.

Boy, this is so exciting.

Zhao Yazhi took Yang Hao, Xu Feng took Yang Yu, Lin Qingxia took Yang Xiao, Lin Fengjiao took Yang Chen, Yamaguchi Momoe took Yang Sheng, five children and five mothers!

Yang Ye looked at the five beautiful wives and five lovely children and felt that he was extremely awesome.

Time travel is great!

Yang Ye placed several salute cannons on the ground, hung up a string of firecrackers, and said, "Ritian Tudou, go farther!"

Ritian and Tudou walked to the gate, covering their ears and watching their father set off firecrackers with excitement.

Yang Ye held an incense stick, calmly lit a few salutes, and then lit firecrackers.

"Boom, boom, boom! Crack! Crack!"

"It's Chinese New Year! It's Chinese New Year!"

Yang Ye closed the door and led the two little guys to the dining room.

The youngest son Yang Sheng was frightened by the sound of firecrackers and cried. Yang Ye quickly picked him up from Momoe Yamaguchi.

"Oh my little mud, why are you crying!"

Zhao Yazhi complained speechlessly: "The nicknames you gave your sons are more perfunctory than the others."

Lin Qingxia said in her heart that I have seen it, Ritian, Tudou, Niba, these are all nonsense names.

She originally saw other people holding sons, but she was the only one who gave birth to a daughter, and wondered whether she would be inferior in Yang Ye's mind.

Now that I think about it, my daughter is my treasure. Yang Ye likes her Xiaoer very much!

Yang Ye had done so many things for her, and she had escaped twice. Now that she had given birth to a daughter, she had accepted her fate.

Lin Qingxia smiled and said, "That's right, your cultural level is so high, why can't you be more serious?"

Xu Feng's son's nickname was Tudou, which she thought was okay and quite cute. She helped: "Aye said that a nickname makes a living. It's okay if the child's name is a serious one. Mashed Potato, as soon as he hears it, it's What a good brother!”

Yang Ye defended: "I don't give my children random nicknames. For example, Ritian, his name is Hao, and the sun goes up and the sky goes up, so isn't that just Ritian? It feels very awkward!"

Pulling the fart, Zhao Yazhi held up his forehead.

Yang Ye added: "Potato's name is even simpler. His name is Yang Yu, which is homophonic to potato. It means potato. It's so cute!"

"I think it's cute too!" Xu Feng expressed satisfaction anyway.

Yamaguchi Momoe asked: "What about my little mud?"

Yang Ye said: "Both boys in our family are prefixed with "日", and girls are all prefixed with "日". There are not many words with the prefix "日", so I chose a "sheng" character for our children. This character is amazing!
In China, during the Song Dynasty, there was a great inventor named Bi Sheng, who also had the character "Sheng". He invented movable type printing. What are movable types made of? Mud!
Therefore, our son’s nickname is Niba, which shows that I have high hopes for him! "

Although he is Japanese, he also knows China’s four great inventions.

Only then did Yamaguchi Momoe understand that the inconspicuous nickname of her son actually had such a meaning.

"So that's it! Husband, I misunderstood you. I even doubted you and thought you didn't like our children!" (End of Chapter)
