Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Girls' Generation went on stage to take over, and Teresa Teng returned backstage with excitement on her face. Yang Ye had already prepared the spicy hot pot.

Yang Ye handed two long hot pot chopsticks to Deng Lijun and said, "Eat a little first, and then change your clothes, otherwise you will be in trouble if you get them on your performance clothes."

Teresa Teng said hilariously: "How can anyone eat hot pot at a concert?"

Yang Ye said nonchalantly: "You can eat it if you like it, and it depends on the occasion?"

Teresa Teng loves spicy food, especially spicy hot pot. In the 1980s, there were Sichuan restaurants and hot pot restaurants in Taipei, and Teresa Teng often invited friends to show off.

As a northern girl, she has a good capacity for drinking and usually doesn't get drunk.

"All right!"

Deng Lijun sat at the table, picked up a piece of hairy belly and started boiling it. Yang Ye poured her a glass of beer, and she drank it with a gulp.

"Drink slowly!"

"I'm thirsty!"

The two were happily eating hot pot backstage, while Girls' Generation was dancing the crab leg dance on the stage, singing "Gee Gee Gee Gee Baby Baby Baby" non-stop.

Deng Lijun felt that she was almost brainwashed and couldn't help complaining: "What kind of song did you write? When you listen to it, you can't help but move along with it."

As she spoke, she twisted a few times to the rhythm.

Yang Ye laughed loudly and said nonsense: "I read a report on psychological research some time ago, which said that simple repetition helps information enter long-term memory and is conducive to the brain's unconscious processing.

And this behavior is uncontrollable, you will do it subconsciously without thinking. American psychologists named this phenomenon the halo effect.

People usually use this halo effect in advertising, for example, thinking of a powerful advertising slogan, and then playing it repeatedly to brainwash consumers.

As for me, I changed my mind and applied this theory to a song, making several young and beautiful girls Geeeeeeeee... The effect is really not bad! "

Teresa Teng said in surprise: "You still use psychology when writing songs?"

"Actually, pop songs are like this. Usually when we sing, we will repeat the chorus several times. Isn't it also to strengthen people's memory? I just made this part more prominent!"

Deng Lijun thought that this was really the case, and she was immediately convinced. She hugged Yang Ye, kissed Yang Ye on the face with her oily mouth, and praised: "Husband, you are such a rapeseed flower!"

"Damn, where is this dialect?"

Teresa Teng ate for more than ten minutes, and Girls' Generation over there was about to finish singing. She quickly changed her clothes and went on stage, and drank a glass of beer before leaving.

This time, my face is rosy and I feel more charming on stage!

“Wow, there’s hot pot to eat!”

Several girls were singing and dancing on the stage, and they were so tired that they were sweating. But as soon as Wang Zuxian saw the hot pot, his eyes lit up and he rushed over with a "swish" sound. He was indeed a foodie!

If we lived in domestic entertainment thirty years later, Wang Zuxian would have four major personas: basketball girl, soul singer, authentic foodie, and internet addicted girl.

Just one post can top the trending searches and make marketing accounts talk about it, which is just a waste of money.

And this is not a created persona, it is real.

Coupled with her fair skin, good looks, and a pair of long legs, she is sure to win the photo, and she can also look stunning on the red carpet like Fan Binbin.

She debuted at the age of seventeen and became famous in Asia with Xiaoqian at the age of twenty. This is the purple star from the sky, the savior of internal entertainment!

By the way, with movies like Green Snake and The Invincible East, she can be given the title of the leader in the entertainment industry!
"Damn it, how popular would she have been if she had lived in my era?" Yang Ye almost wanted to drag her to time travel.

By the time a few girls came over, Wang Zuxian had already eaten several slices of hairy tripe.

There were only a few slices on the plate. Xiao Qiang wanted to eat, but it was gone. She couldn't help but complain: "You starved to death and were reincarnated!"

"Who told you to be so slow!"

Wang Zuxian made a face at Xiao Qiang and continued to work hard.

Yang Ye put the tripe he had just rinsed into Xiao Qiang's bowl and told the staff: "Go get two more plates!"

"Thank you, Brother Ye!" Xiao Qiang happily started eating.

A few little girls who don't like spicy food consciously cooked the mushroom pot. Yang Ye asked: "How does it feel to perform in Taiwan?"

Xiao Qiang complained: "I haven't watched "Little Nyonya"!"

Wang Zuxian suddenly raised his head and said, "Yes, I told my mother about "Little Nyonya", but she has never heard of it!"

"Little Nyonya" was recently launched on SMG and ATV. With its sophisticated production and ups and downs of the plot, it became very popular once it was released, with ratings skyrocketing.

This is the first cooperation between ATV and SMG. In order to make the drama a success, ATV asked Chua Lam to serve as a consultant, and asked a master chef to cook in person. He used high-speed cameras to make the scenes showing Peranakan cuisine in the TV series extremely attractive. , making people salivate after watching it, quite a bit like the feeling that future generations of Chinese people would feel when they watch "A Bite of China" for the first time.

One episode of "Little Nyonya" is broadcast every night at nine o'clock. Normally, everyone should go to bed after watching this episode of the TV series, but now... I can't sleep at all. I am so hungry that it is like poisoning me late at night.

Suddenly, food courts in Singapore and food stalls in Hong Kong became very popular.

In Hong Kong, restaurants that specialize in Southeast Asian cuisine are suddenly flooded with customers. After watching TV, Hong Kong citizens rushed to taste Nyonya chicken and laksa noodles.

These caterers really have to thank Yang Ye’s eight generations of ancestors!
If a drama can cause a social sensation, you can imagine the ratings. TVB's "Battle of Xuanwumen" was defeated step by step and had no power to fight back.

Even if there are many young talents such as Huang Rihua, Weng Meiling, Miu Qiaowei, Tang Zhenye and others join the battle, it will not help.

Yang Ye said: "It will be broadcast soon!"

Wang Zuxian asked, "Really? Which channel? CTV or CTS?"

Yang Ye said: "TV!"

"Great, I'll let my mom see it then."

During the Empty Square era, Jin Yong's novels were banned in Taiwan. However, as cross-strait relations eased, Jin Yong's novels were the first to be banned in the mainland, and then in Taiwan.

The reason why Jin Yong's novels were banned in Taiwan is very funny. It is said that it is because Kong Yige felt that Peach Blossom Island alluded to the island of Taiwan.

Among Taiwan's three major TV stations, China Television was the first to introduce "Dragon Movie" filmed by ATV, and the ratings exploded.

So China Television introduced "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and the ratings also exploded.

Taiwan Television took the idea a step further. They decided to film Jin Yong's drama themselves, so they approached Baiyang Company to purchase the copyright and wanted to film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Baiyang Company said that the copyright can be transferred, but we will shoot the Condor Shooting this year, so you can choose another one. Taiwan TV has chosen "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword", and if nothing else happens, it will be broadcast by the end of the year.

During the negotiation process, people from Taiwan TV saw the popularity of "Little Nyonya" and bought the film back.

Speaking of the Jin Yong dramas produced in Taiwan in the 1980s, although they have high ratings and are very popular on the island, they can basically be described as "relying on defense".

Because the level of film and television production in Taiwan at this time was far inferior to that of Hong Kong. Hong Kong had the largest studio in Asia, while Taiwan had none. Even when filming a Jin Yong drama, I didn’t even know where to film.

It wasn't until the 1990s that Taiwan was able to go to the mainland for filming, and the Jin Yong dramas filmed had some highlights.

……

After the Taiwan concert, Teresa Teng went to Indonesia to prepare for the Jakarta concert, while Yang Ye took Girls' Generation to Japan to join up with Jung Dong Han.

Starting this year, they will open their record company to Japan, establish Jade Bird Records, and officially enter the Japanese music scene!

The trump cards in their hands are Akina Nakamori and Girls' Generation, while the semi-retired Teresa Teng is the record club's rock!

Zheng Donghan has already made preliminary preparations in Japan, and Yang Ye is going there this time to officially launch Girls' Generation in Japan!
At this time, Japan's idol culture is going on vigorously, and Yang Ye is coming to come up with something new.

……

Idol culture was born in Japan!
In 1971, Japanese music producer Akuyu planned the first TV talent show "A Star Is Born" in history, ushering in the first year of idols.

This program invites some girls to participate in a singing competition every week, and the winners are selected by 500 public judges and 5 professional judges.

Three months later, all the winners will compete on the same stage. Representatives of the entertainment companies will hold up placards to express their intention to sign. The winner will be the one with the most placards.

The significance of this program is to bring the opportunity to become a star into the homes of ordinary people.

The impact on Japan at that time was probably equivalent to that of "Super Girl" in China in later generations.

"A Star Is Born" was held for the fifth time, and Yamaguchi Momoe turned out to be the runner-up of that time.

Later, Yamaguchi Momoe formed a trio with the first champion Mori Masako and Sakurada Junko, who held the highest medal record.

Because they were all in the third grade of middle school when they officially debuted, they were also called the "Fancy Third Grader Group".

In 1977, the word "アイドル" was used for the first time in the promotion of their joint concert "Graduation Ceremony Tears ~ Departure" after high school graduation.

Since then, a new type of performing arts "idol" has been born. Its English "Idol" is actually a Japanese version.

The representative figure of idol culture is undoubtedly Yamaguchi Momoe.

In her seven-year acting career, she has completed singing, TV series, and movies. All kinds of data have been crushed in the Japanese entertainment industry. She is invincible and seeks defeat alone!

When she wore a white wedding dress and sang the last song at the concert, she leaned over the microphone on the stage and announced her retirement.

The 1.0 era of idol culture is over!

The idol queen left, and the vacant throne instantly attracted countless people's attention.

In the new version 2.0, Seiko Matsuda, a sweet girl who always wears a white dress and is a little bit deliberately, is the first to climb the Canyon of Kings, and she is in the limelight for a while.

But in the new version, one man's story is decidedly uninteresting.

At this time, Akina Nakamori, a fat rebellious girl who also debuted in "A Star Is Born", was cast.

The confrontational double queue between Matsuda Seiko and Nakamori Akina was called Showa’s US-Soviet struggle for hegemony, and the battle was fierce!
Specifically, in the early stage, Matsuda Seiko was slightly suppressing Nakamori Akina, but Seiko ran away and gave birth to a baby. Akina came from behind and surpassed Seiko, and achieved the feat of unifying the Japanese music scene, and was known as Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the music industry. .

However, Nakamori Akina soon committed suicide due to her relationship with Kondo Masahiko and became a bitter vegetable.

On the contrary, Matsuda Seiko is very imaginative. Even at the age of 50, she still wears a white dress and dances to "Youth Coral Reef".

Playing with men is more exciting than men playing with women. This horse riding is a happy life!

……

But this is all a matter of the original time and space, and the current battle situation has undergone some changes.

Yamaguchi Momoe was abducted by Yang Ye a year in advance and withdrew from the Japanese Yuneng world.

Yang Ye also took away Akina Nakamori.

Although Matsuda Seiko made his debut in time and occupied the best ecological niche, becoming Japan's number one idol superstar, he was in the limelight for a while.

But Yang Ye quickly came back with Akina Nakamori.

At the Red and White Song Festival at the end of 1981, Yang Ye and Akina Nakamori sang "Sea of ​​Flowers". The beautiful and moving songs and the beautiful stage design brought an unprecedented audio-visual experience to the Japanese audience!
Soon, "Sakura", "Girl A", "Second Love"... In the past two years, Yang Ye created seven singles for Nakamori Akina. The first one became a hit, and the lowest sales volume was 400,000 copies. Seiko Matsuda formed a suppressive force.

……

When Yang Ye arrived in Tokyo with Girls' Generation, "Happy Ghost" had already been released in Hong Kong, becoming the Spring Festival box office champion with a box office of 3040 million Hong Kong dollars, and becoming the first Hong Kong film to exceed million Hong Kong box office.

The final box office of New Art City's "The Best Partner 3" was 2890 million, one step away from 3000 million!
The superstars of Baiyang Pictures used a small boat to knock over Xinyi City's signature blockbuster without any action. It was really shocking!
Hong Kong's major media outlets have carried out extensive reports on this matter, and have also analyzed the gains and losses of this battle in a serious manner.

However, it is useless to analyze it. All fools know that "Happy Ghost" won the box office because of "Girls' Generation".

But if you know it, you can’t copy it. Where can you find some super beauties? Once you find them, can you invest a lot of resources like Yang Ye and train them for several years?

Hong Kong is a port city that made its fortune through entrepot trade, so most people here are full of comprador ideas and only want to make quick money without any long-term plans.

So... here there is simply no soil like Japan and South Korea that takes a long time to train new people.

This also destined that the brilliance of Hong Kong’s popular culture can only be short-lived, and will be gone when that generation is used up!
After major film companies understood the key to success of "Happy Ghost", they all approached Baiyang Agency and wanted to invite members of Girls' Generation to film the movie.

It would be best to invite the three leading heroines who appeared in "Happy Ghost". If not, the other six can also be invited.

However, the answer they received disappointed them. Yang Ye took Girls' Generation into the Japanese music scene!

If you can't invite Girls' Generation, it would be good to invite Zhang Xueyou and Lai Ming.

Zhang Xueyou is a serious male protagonist, and Liming is very handsome.

As a result, the two young men suddenly started making dates one after another!

Baiyang Agency is still thinking about how to promote Liming, but now they have no choice but to let him film two movies first.

Open the door to do business, there is no reason not to accept orders! (End of chapter)
