Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Zhang Guorong left happily, and Yang Ye took out a piece of paper from the drawer, which read: "Female Boxer" character list.

After Tony Jaa's "The Fighter" became a global hit, director Prachia Pinkayao launched another "The Fighter". The protagonist is a loli who is extremely capable of fighting... Jie Jia Yaning.

This is simply tailor-made for Li Saifeng, because Li Saifeng, like Jiejia Yaning, is in the form of a lolita, and she is cuter than Jiejia Yaning.

So after Yang Ye finished filming "Boxing Fighter", he immediately created "Female Boxing Fighter" for Li Saifeng!
This is also the reason why "Boxer" was filmed but was delayed and not released.

Because it is difficult for a little girl to be the protagonist of a martial arts action film to arouse interest, so Yang Ye wants "Female Boxer" to take advantage of the popularity of "Boxer".

After "Boxer" is finished, "Female Boxer" will be released immediately to catch up with the popularity, so as to attract the audience to the greatest extent and create the greatest benefits.

Moreover, the two movies are originally linked and have a certain relationship.

The plot of "Female Boxer" is very simple:
The gang leader Kishimoto from Japan made a deal with the Thai gang and met the Thai girl Axin. Kishimoto and Axin fell in love.

But because Kishimoto was hunted by Thai gangsters, he had to flee back to Japan.

After Kishimoto left, Axin gave birth to a daughter, Aning.

Aning is autistic and does not know how to communicate with others, but he has sensitive hearing and a photographic memory of complex movements.

She learned amazing fighting skills by watching the fighting scenes of Bruce Lee and Tony Jaa on TV.

She saw that her mother was often bullied, so she stood up to protect her and beat the bad guys to death...

Yang Ye modified it slightly:
Taiwanese gang leader Aaron made a deal with a Hong Kong gang and met Hong Kong girl Ah Xin, and the two fell in love.

Aaron was hunted by Hong Kong gangs and fled back to Taiwan. Ah Xin became pregnant and gave birth to Ah Ning, who raised her daughter alone.

The autistic girl played by Jiejia Yaning learned fighting skills by watching the battle scenes of Bruce Lee and Tony Jaa on TV.

Naturally, the autistic girl played by Li Saifeng learned fighting skills by watching the battle scenes of Bruce Lee and Yang Ye on TV.

It not only paid tribute to Bruce Lee, but also allowed Yang Ye to act cool, without any sense of disobedience!
……

Yang Ye wrote Li Saifeng's name behind the heroine An Ning.

Then write Ti Long’s name in the column of the heroine’s father, Aaron, and Zheng Peipei’s name in the column of the heroine’s mother, Axin.

These two characters are very important and can be played very well in the movie. Of course, they have to be played by famous stars.

Ti Lung and Zheng Peipei are both top players of the previous generation, so they are very suitable.

Yang Ye wrote Wang Jing's name in the fat column, Xie Xian's name in the villain BOSS column, and Zheng Zeshi's name in the pork guy column...

Xiaopang is the male protagonist in name, but in reality he is not very important. He does not have many scenes and is not as heavy as Aning's parents.

His identity is that of a little fat man who grew up with Aning. Yang Ye didn't even give him a name, just called him Little Fatty.

Xiaopang's role in the film is equivalent to Aning's brother. He found Axin's account books and found that many people owed her money.

And Ah Xin was suffering from cancer and had no money for treatment, so Xiaopang rode a motorcycle and took Ah Ning to violently collect debts!
In the process of collecting debts, Aning showed off his power and beat the debtors to their knees...

Xiaopang has a smoother image and is a bit timid. Although he has no abilities, he will still stand up to protect Aning at critical moments.

Yang Ye thought for a while, and among the fat little actors in Hong Kong, Zeng Zhiwei and Wang Jing were more suitable. However, he didn't have a good impression of Zeng Zhiwei, so he filled in Wang Jing's name.

Although Wang Jing is a director, he likes filming very much. He often plays some sleazy, slippery characters, or bullied characters.

After filling out the list of roles, Yang Ye began to fill in the list of staff, assistant directors, photographers, costume designers, etc...

Yang Ye doesn't care whether these people have schedules or not. There is still a month left before filming. As long as he fills in the names, the other party will find a way to free up the schedules. It's so strong!

After filling out everything, Yang Ye called Du Qifeng over and said: "A Feng, you will be the assistant director for this movie. I will match the people according to the list. Aman and Ti Long have already been confirmed to star. When the time comes, give me the script." Just send them over."

Du Qifeng agreed, took a look at the list, he knew most of them, and left.

Johnnie To is filming a TV series on ATV, but the boss called his name, so he can just ask the TV station to change the director. Anyway, TV series mainly depend on the producer, and the director is not very important.

Johnnie To made a movie four years ago. After filming, he felt that he was not capable enough, so he came back to make TV series.

But his goal is to make movies, and making TV series is just to accumulate experience. Working as an assistant director with Yang Ye, he can learn a lot, which is much more cost-effective than making TV series.

But he didn't know that before long, he would be promoted to a film director.

Just after Du Qifeng left, Hu Yinmeng came in and said: "CCTV's inspection team will come to Hong Kong next week. General Manager Huang asked you if you want to come forward?"

Yang Ye asked: "Who is coming?"

Hu Yinmeng looked at the list and read: "Director Wang Feng, director Huang Yihe..."

Yang Ye said: "Damn, isn't it usually the deputy director who goes abroad for inspections? Why did the director come in person?"

"How would I know!"

Yang Ye thought for a while and said: "Postpone my trip to Japan and tell General Manager Huang that I will receive the CCTV inspection team with him next week. Also tell General Manager Zhang of Red Man Company that I will go to Nakamori Akina Be a guest at the concert.”

"Got it!" Hu Yinmeng turned around and left!

"and many more!"

"what?"

"Let's watch a movie together tonight!"

……

Because he was worried about being recognized and causing unnecessary trouble, Yang Ye never took his girl to watch movies in public cinemas during prime time.

After get off work, the two went to have a candlelight dinner first, and then went to the hotel to have a fierce battle for two hours.

Then I took a shower and went out, walking slowly to the cinema. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

The two of them waited for the movie to start before sneaking in and sitting in the back row. They were watching "The Frog Prince" directed by Wang Jing.

This is a romantic comedy film starring three beauties, including Zhong Zhentao's partner Guan Zhilin, Zhong Chuhong and Maggie Cheung.

Hu Yinmeng had no interest in this kind of movie. She complained: "Why don't you watch your apprentice's movie instead of watching this one?"

Yang Ye said: "Isn't this a date between us? Of course we are watching a romance movie!"

Hu Yinmeng said: "Oh, it's better to watch a romantic movie!"

Damn it, Yang Ye was convinced, and he said: "If you had said so earlier, then I would have taken you to the Nikkatsu Theater to watch salty movies."

Nikkatsu's cinema specializes in showing Japanese movies. After hearing this, Hu Yinmeng said with a look of disdain: "So, you go there often?" Yang Ye said confidently: "Otherwise, who did I learn so many moves from?"

"You are so perverted!"

"Then do you like it?"

"like!"

"Hahaha!"

Neither of them was interested in the movie being shown, and they came to the cinema mainly for the atmosphere.

Near them, there were a few couples sitting sporadically. Those people had no intention of watching the movie, so they all hugged each other and ate and ate.

Yang Ye was not polite, hugged Hu Yinmeng and started chewing, what he wanted was this tune.

Although Yang Ye and Hu Yinmeng have little interest in "The Frog Prince", its box office performance is actually quite impressive.

During this year's Easter schedule, "The Frog Prince" produced by Yongsheng, "British Pipa" produced by Xinyi City, and "Laughing Tai Chi" produced by Baiyang competed on the same stage.

As a result, the box office of "The Frog Prince" exceeded 18 million, ranking first among "British Pipa" and "Laughing Tai Chi". Wang Jing really has two talents.

"Laughing Tai Chi" is the second movie starring Donnie Yen in this time and space. This time without Yang Ye, the appeal is greatly reduced, but the box office still exceeded 10 million.

But it’s already very impressive. The original movie “Laughing Tai Chi” only had a box office of over 6 million.

Last year's "Kowloon Walled City" did bring a lot of popularity to Donnie Yen.

This is already the highest-grossing film directed by Yuan Heping.

After this battle, Yuan Heping's confidence greatly increased and he decided to cooperate with Donnie Yen again.

Since Zhen Zidan can break dance, and break dancing is now very popular in Hong Kong, in order to follow the trend, they decided to combine Kung Fu and Break Dance to create a brand new Kung Fu Break Dance!

The movie still follows a funny line. It is probably about Donnie Yen being able to break dance. A martial arts idiot saw it and insisted on thinking that Donnie Yen was a kung fu master. He tried every means to compete with Donnie Yen and made many jokes. .

In order to increase its appeal, Yuan Heping also invited two members of Girls' Generation to be the heroines.

……

Lai Chi Kok, Kowloon, Songcheng!

Yang Ye and Huang Xizhao walked in slowly accompanied by the CCTV inspection team. Huang Xizhao introduced: "This Song Dynasty was built one-to-one according to the scenery on the River Along the River During the Qingming Festival. We in Taiwan shoot costume dramas and often come here to shoot scenes. ”

In October last year, CCTV established a TV drama production center. This time we came to Hong Kong for inspection, mainly because we wanted to learn from the advanced experience of our Hong Kong counterparts.

CCTV only produced its first TV series "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp" in 1982, while Hong Kong began filming long-form dramas more than ten years ago.

In the past two years, Japanese TV series "Zi Sanshiro", "Volleyball Players" and "Blood Doubt" have been introduced to China. Each one has caused a sensation and has fascinated mainland audiences.

When CCTV's own TV series were compared with Japanese dramas, they simply relied on defense. CCTV's leaders couldn't sit still, so they went to ATV to inspect and learn from advanced experience.

ATV's greatest strength is the production of ancient costume martial arts dramas. After leading the delegation to visit the studio, they came to Songcheng to visit the location filming location.

The group of people enjoyed the scenery along the street and chatted while walking.

Songcheng requires admission, and you have to wear ancient costumes to enter Songcheng, so Yang Ye's group of people wearing modern clothes are particularly eye-catching. Fortunately, today is a working day, and there are not many tourists in Songcheng.

Within a few minutes of leaving, a bold fan approached Yang Ye and asked for his autograph. Yang Ye did not refuse and responded to every request, and even cooperated to take photos with the fans.

When you go out, maintaining a good image is necessary.

When taking pictures, the female fan even pouted her lips and pretended to kiss Yang Ye's face, which shocked the inspection team and secretly sighed that this was really offensive.

After touring for a while, we came to the filming location of ATV's popular drama series "Lu Xiaofeng". Wan Ziliang played the role of Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows.

In this scene, Lu Xiaofeng needs to float down from the roof to show off her extraordinary lightness.

In order to get the best effect, the crew moved Titan over.

Nowadays, when filming in the Mainland, you don’t even know how to draw a wire. The year before last, CCTV started filming "Journey to the West". Director Yang Jie even came to Hong Kong to learn the technology for several months. Finally, ATV and Ziqi Company sent several professionals to help. .

At that time, CCTV planned to return the favor and introduce several ATV TV series to be broadcast in the mainland, but ATV refused because at that time Yang Ye did not want to have too much trouble with Taiwan.

After two years of development, Yang Ye's wings have become stronger and stronger. Now the development in Southeast Asia has gradually taken shape, and the construction of theater chains in North America has also made small progress, not to mention Taiwan.

Starting this year, Yang Ye will make a big move into the mainland market!

Due to Yang Ye's unknown special contribution, the door to the mainland market is open to him at any time, and he can go wherever he wants!

Wang Feng looked at the large equipment at the shooting site and was very surprised.

In fact, it's because he is so rare as a director. For example, the Spring Festival Gala director Huang Yihe who follows him often goes abroad for inspections and has seen a lot, so he is not very surprised.

Huang Xizhao casually introduced the uses of these equipment to the delegation.

A female comrade in the inspection team saw a man lying on the ground, looking at the sky with something like a telescope, and asked curiously: "What is this comrade doing?"

Yang Ye explained: "He is the lighting engineer, observing the wind direction, clouds, and lighting. When shooting outdoor scenes, these factors will affect the shooting effect. For example, the wind speed must be taken into account when shooting wires, otherwise the actors will be in danger. "

Just listen to the lighting engineer say: "The altitude is 6500 feet, the flow speed is... 18 miles, and we can shoot in about ten minutes."

Director Lai Shuiqing took the walkie-talkie and said: "Attention all departments, filming will start in ten minutes. Ah Liang, go to the roof!"

After hearing this, Wan Ziliang quickly touched up his makeup and climbed to the roof of a building with several staff members.

Yang Ye pointed to the sky and said, "They need to wait for the clouds to drift over and form a cloudy environment."

When the inspection team heard this, they were all confused.

A staff member suddenly ran over and said, "Young Master Yang, Manager Huang, you are in the frame, please give way."

Yang Ye said "Oh" and said: "Sorry!"

Then he said to the inspection team: "They are going to use a wide-angle lens later, and it is not suitable for us here. There is a teahouse over there, why don't we go there to drink tea, chat and watch!"

After that, he led everyone to the teahouse. Wang Yang said with some admiration: "Mr. Yang, as an entrepreneur and artist with a great reputation. Along the way, I found that you don't have any airs at all. It's really It can be said that he is approachable and open-minded! ”

Yang Ye smiled and said: "Director Wang deserves the award. In fact, I agree very much with Mainland Chairman Liu's words. The revolution only has the division of labor, and there is no distinction between high and low. It is fate that we all work together, so why be arrogant?"

Wang Feng couldn't help but sigh a little after hearing this. They just said this. Who would not be respectful to a leader as big as him?
In a situation like the one just now, it is absolutely impossible for the staff to just run over and ask him to go away!

Wang Feng sighed: "Mr. Yang said it well, long live the working people!" (End of Chapter)
